EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AP-05 Executive Summary- 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(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 2023124 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 2023124 to almost $2.6 million. The following Annual
Action Plan describes resources, programs, activities and actions Huntington Beach will
undertake in FY 2023124 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 HUD's CPD
Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan . 2
Outcome Performance Measurement System. Here are the objective 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 City of Huntington Beach has ambitious objectives for spending its federal entitlement
grant funding. The objectives are identified in the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment which
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:
1. 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.
Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 3
2. 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.
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 2023124,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 City -reviews, and evaluates its performance through its annual submission of the
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The third 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 2022/23 CAPER. However, below is a summary of
performance to date.
Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 4
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
restricted. Upon completion of this project that is currently underway, the City will
have accomplished nearly 5o% of its 20-unit development goal for the 2o2o/21-2o24/25
Consolidated Plan timeframe.
• Also in the area of providing decent housing,the City has allocated over$1.3 million in
HOME funds since July 2020 to assist low and moderate income households with
tenant based rental assistance.Ninety households were provided assistance in the first
two years of the program,and another 3o were proposed to be assisted in FY 2022/23.
The TBRA programs were implemented by three operators: Mercy House, Interval
House,and Families Forward.
• The Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants Program offers two forms of
rehabilitation assistance to eligible lower-income Huntington Beach households. First,
the Rehabilitation Grant Program offers a one-time grant not to exceed$io,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 $75,00o in deferred payment loans. Both programs are
intended to assist low-income homeowners to make much needed repairs to keep
their property safe and livable. To date, the City has funded one loan and 18 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 fundedjthrough Administrative costs,to the Huntington Beach
community.
L
Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 5
• The City has a goal to assist 5,000 persons with improved or new public facilities during
the 2620/21-2024125 Consolidated Plan period.To date,the City has not awarded funds
to public facility projects; however, in FY 2023/24, the City will support improvements
to the Central Library restrooms with CDBG funding,.including ADA improvements,
that,when complete,will exceed the goal of serving 5,00o persons.
• The City used CDBG funding in FY 2020/21 and 2021/22 to 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 3o, 2025,the City has already well surpassed its goal.
• The City was awarded a special allocation of$2,159,775 in CARES Act CDBG (CDBG-CV)
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 and the City continues to provide annual CDBG public
service funds, as well as HOME-ARP funding,to help fund the contract.
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.
Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan • 6
• While not funded with federal CDBG funds,the City in 2017,prepared a comprehensive
Economic Development Strategy. The purpose of the Strategy was to identify the
highest priority economic development objectives in Huntington Beach, and to set
goals, policies and recommended actions for short-term (0-2 years), mid-term (3-5
years), and long-term economic decisions.
Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
The City developed its 2023124 Annual Action Plan through consultation and coordination with
housing, social service providers; public agencies; and the local public housing agency as
presented below. As a means of gaining input from the public, the City conducted public
hearings and invited comments on the draft Action Plan.

Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 9
AP-10 Consultation 91.100, 91.200(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(1)).
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:

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

EXPECTED RESOURCES
AP-15 Expected Resources- 91.22o(c)(1,2)
Huntington Beach is an entitlement jurisdiction and as such, will receive $1,171,668 in CDBG
entitlement funds,will have approximately$355,695 in prior year CDBG funds carried forward,
and is estimated to receipt around $33,00o in program income for a total of$1,560,363.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, improvements to a public library, CDBG administration, and fair housing
services.
)The City will also receive a HOME entitlement allocation of $668,370. Prior year unallocated
funds of $323,155 and approximately $45,00o in program income will also be available, for a
total of $1,036,525. The City will use HOME funds for administration of the HOME program,
three tenant-based rental assistance programs, and will reserve at least 15% for a future
affordable housing project.
In January 2019, SB-2 (or Permanent Local Housing Allocation funding) was implemented,
which levies an additional recording fee 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 over $2 million for the
first three years and is slated to receive approximately $650,00o 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 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 leverage significant financial and
in-kind support from individual community members,foundations, and private organizations
that helpmeet the needs identified in this plan.
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 Navigation Center, an emergency homeless shelter that was constructed to provide a
safe place for homeless persons to live during the COVID-1g 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 2o% of these funds to
develop low- and moderate- income housing. The City's match surplus is approximately
$2,741,888 as of September 3o, 2022.
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
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 g1.215(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 3o%or
more of household income on housing related'costs. Therefore, in FY 2o23124, the City will
provide tenant based rental assistance (TBRA)to 15 homeless, senior,Veteran,and/or family
households through contracts with Families Forward. A second TBRA program will also be
available to senior households needing help with mobile home.space rents.This Annual Action
Plan is proposing to assist 3o mobile home residents in FY 2023/24.
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 42 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. For FY 2023/24, Huntington Beach has set aside the
,required 15% CHDO allocation for the development of affordable housing for a yet to be
determined project. •

PROJECTS
AP-35 Projects- 91.220(d)
The City plans to undertake the following CDBG and HOME funded activities during FY 2023124
to address its priority housing and community development needs. All proposed activities are
eligible and mee program service targets.Additionally,the City of Huntington Beach has not
exceeded any ofits maximum allocations for CDBG public services, CDBG administration, or
HOME administration. With a CDBG allocation of $1,171,668, the City of Huntington Beach
allocated $175,7.50 for public services, representing-15%of the CDBG entitlement.This Annual
Action Plan proposes to allocate the following to 2023/24 public services: Stand Up for Kids
Street Outreach (19,896); Robyne's Nest ($30,000); Project Hope Alliance ($20,854); and
Children's Bureau($85,000).CDBG regulations also permit a.maximum allocation of 20%of the
annual entitlement, or $234,334, for CDBG administration activities. The City has allocated
$204,334 for CDBG Administration and $30,000 to the Fair Housing Foundation,for a total of
$234,334,the maximum allowed. Lastly, a maximum of 10%of the annual HOME entitlement,
$66,837,was allocated to HOME Program Administration in FY 2023/24.
Consistent with the City's Citizen Participation Plan for 2020/2i-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 1) extremely low-income; 2)very low-
income; and 3) low and moderate-income households. Based on HUD recommendations,
general relative priorities for funding will be as follows: ' .
HIGH PRIORITY:Activities to address this need will be funded during the five-year period..
MEDIUM.PRIORITY: If funds are available, activities to address this need may be funded by '
the City during the five-year period. The City may also use other sources of funds and.take
actions to locate other sources of funds.
LOW PRIORITY: It is not likely the City will fund activities to address this need during the five-
year period. ,
The highest priority has been assigned to the needs of the lowest income residents, based on
the assumption that in this high-cost real estate market, they are at greater.risk. of
Huntington Beach.2023/24'Annual Action Plan 30
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--91.22o(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 46,65o persons, 32,395, or 69.44%, of which are of
low-moderate income.

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, including the 2023/24 ADA Curb Cuts in Maintenance Zone 1 project,
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

2020/21,the City invested approximately$2.8 million in HOME funds to provide gap financing
for 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. In all, 42 units will have one
bedroom and one bath, with a manager's unit consisting of two bedrooms. 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).
In FY 202.3/24,the City will contribute a total of nearly$750,00o in HOME funds for two tenant
based rental assistance programs. One of the programs,to be operated by Families Forward,
is proposing to assist 15 homeless,veteran,and victims of domestic violence households.The
second program has been developed specifically for senior residents of mobile home
communities who are experiencing rising space rent costs.The program will be implemented
by GRC Associates with an allocation of$546,2.77.
Also,the City estimates that it will have a balance of roughly$223,411 of 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— 91.22o(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
2023/24.
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 2016,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.
Atthe 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
February(2022 with the assistance of many homeless service providers. The PIT Count_
enumerated 5,718 homeless individuals in Orange County, reflecting a decrease of almost 17%
from the 2019 tally of 6,86o homeless people. In Huntington Beach specifically, there were
33o total persons counted,with 188 unsheltered,and 142 that were sheltered.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 53
including
Reachingout to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City of Huntington Beach has an aggressive plan to reduce and end homelessness. The
plan includes funding a Homeless Task Force, developing a Navigation Center, adding a
Deputy Director of Homelessness & Behavioral Health Services position in FY 2°21/22, and
funding annual public service programs that serve this clientele.This multi-pronged approach
includes reaching out to homeless persons and assessing their individual 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 2023/24, 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
Outreach program provides basic services(food, clothing, hygiene items,and survival kits)as
well as medical assistance and compassionate mentoring. In FY 2023124, StandUp for Kids is
proposing to assist 27 youth with a CDBG allocation of nearly$20,000.
Robyne's Nest is another program that assesses the needs to homeless youth.Once homeless
youth are identified, Robyne's Nest evaluates their needs and works with them to develop a
plan to become stable and productive citizens. Robyne's.Nest helps with academic;financial,
and life skills. Robyne's Nest provides housing resources; basic needs such as food, clothing,
and supplies; educational assistance such as tutoring, Chromebooks, school supplies, and
fees; and overall help with health and wellbeing in the form of counseling, therapy,
mentoring, and life skills classes.With an allocation of$50,00o in FY 2°23/24, Robyne's Nest

Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan . 54
The third program that will be funded with CDBG is the Project Hope Alliance. With an
allocation of $20,854 in FY 2023124, this program will assess the needs of approximately go
homeless youth on school campuses. Participants are provided customized, wraparound
support from case managers who are available for their students 24 hours a day,which allows
the PHA team to create meaningful relationships and be available to address unexpected and
emergent needs or crises. PHA will commit 4 case managers to work with students
experiencing homelessness, providing intensive,, individualized, and long-term care that,
includes resources for academic guidance, social-emotional mentorship, transportation,
technology, basic needs, and external referrals for additional needs. •
Lastly, though not funded with CDBG, the City has an agreement with Be Well OC that's
composed of two Crisis Counselors who provide mobile 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 3o, 2023.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
In FY 201g/2o,the City Council approved purchase of property located at 17631 Cameron Lane
using non-federal funds to establish a Navigation Center, local homeless emergency shelter.
The City has also contributed over $3.86 million in federal funding from the CDBG, CDBG-CV
(CARES Act), and HOME-ARP (American Rescue Plan) programs to fund operations of the
Navigation Center. 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.
Also, in FY 2021/22, the City partnered with the State of California Homekey Program, County
of Orange, National CORE, and American Family Housing to negotiate the acquisition and
rehabilitation of the former Quality Inn & Suites motel located at 1725i 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 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 55
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 2023/24 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.
Finally, in FY 2023/24, 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
2023/24, tenant based rental assistance will continue to be offered through Families Forward.
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 in the proposed 2021-2029 Housing Element:
Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 56
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.
Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 57
•
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 per year
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,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
housing funds, the City will continue to advocate for and pursue federal, state, local and
private funding sources for affordable housing.
Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 58
Also, City staff is continuing to work towards certification of its 2021-2029 Housing Element,
one of the State-mandated elements of the City's General Plan which must identify how the
City will accommodate its share of the regional housing need for all economic segments of
the community,commonly referred to as RHNA(Regional Housing Needs Allocation).For the
2021-2029 planning period,,the City must provide zoning capacity for 13,368 dwelling units
across all income levels. City staff has identified ways to accommodate the RHNA including
production of accessory dwelling units,conversion of hotels/motels to lower income housing,
and implementation of Affordable Housing Overlays. The proposed Affordable Housing
Overlays will allow for multi-family residential uses at densities ranging from 35—7o dwelling
units per acre by right provided that at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower
income households.
While still in process of development, the Draft Housing Element also addresses the City's
provisions for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive
housing. The following programs in the City's Draft 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 lB.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 3o 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 2023/24 Annual Action Plan , 59

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 6th cycle
Housing Element to evaluate if production estimates are being achieved.
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 2o%of the proposed units affordable to lower income
households.
Huntington.Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 60
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

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.
The Subsequent Environmental Impact Report(SEIR), evaluates the potential environmental
impacts associated with adoption and implementation,including program actions to establish
the Affordable Housing Overlays.The program actions include:
• Amending the Land Use Element of the General Plan, including the General Plan Land
Use Map,to establish the Affordable Housing Overlay. Properties designated with an
Affordable Housing Overlay will maintain the underlying/base land use designation.
• Amending the Zoning Map to add selected sites designated for the Affordable
Housing Overlays. Properties designated with an Affordable Housing Overlay will
maintain the underlying/base zoning designation.

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 2023/24, the City
will allocate $183,00o in CDBG and nearly $750,00o in HOME funds to assist 5o households
with rental assistance. The City will offer rental assistance to both eligible Huntington Beach
renters, as well as to senior mobile home residents to help with increasing space rents in
Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan , 63
Huntington Beach's mobile home park communities.
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
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$1o,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 $75,00o 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 $550,00o 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
Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 64
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.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
www.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 General Funds 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
Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 65
• Domestic Violence Prevention Services
• Provision of food
• Substance Abuse Services
• Job Training

the job base, and proactivity attracting new business, industries, jobs, and investment to
Huntington Beach.
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.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies

SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE FY 2020/21 -2024/25-CITIZEN
PARTICIPATION PLAN
The regulations implementing the Consolidated Plan submission requires the City to adopt
a Citizen Participation Plan for the consolidated planning, application and reporting
processes. Part of the Consolidated Plan process entails the grantee to certify that it is in
full compliance and is following a detailed Citizen Participation Plan consistent with the
requirements of 24 CFR 91.105.The City's Citizen Participation Plan is designed to ensure
equitable representation of all segments of the population and to aid communication
between the City and its residents on matters pertaining to the use of all federal funding
from HUD.The Citizen Participation Plan sets forth policies and procedures to encourage
citizen involvement regarding the use of federal funds, notably CDBG and HOME funds.
The intent of the Citizen Participation Plan is to encourage those least likely to participate
in the process, especially low-income persons living in distressed neighborhoods, in public
and assisted housing developments, and in areas where CDBG funds are proposed to be
used. The Citizen Participation Plan document outlines basic tenets of the citizen
participation regulations and will remain in effect throughout the implementation of the
City's entitlement awards during the Consolidated Plan period of FY 2020/21—2024/25. It is
the City's intention to amend the Citizen Participation Plan to update information and to
continue to be in compliance with HUD regulations.
The proposed Substantial Amendment to the FY 2020/21-2024/25 Citizen Participation Plan
includes the following revisions:
• Updating the City Council meeting dates and times
• Outline the specific role of CPAB
• Reducing the number of public hearings to align with HUD regulations
• Update the contact information
The City will also adopt a policy to minimize the effect of displacement because of CDBG
and HOME funded proiects. To the greatest extent feasible,CDBG and HOME proiects are
developed in a manner whereby displacement is avoided completely or,accomplished with
minimal effect on persons. In the event displacement occurs,the assistance provided shall
include, but not be limited to, relocation payments, assistance in locating replacement
housing and related advisory services. The City's Residential Anti-Displacement and
Relocation Assistance Plan are included in the FY 2020/21-2024/25 Citizen Participation Plan.

yet known, the Board is directed to contemplate funding recommendations based upon
the amount of CDBG Public Services funds allocated to the City for FY 2022-23($176,879).
If HUD does not release final allocations prior to the March 7, 2023, Joint Study Session
with City Council, alternative funding adjustments can be determined.

Subject: Item#30:Annual Action Plan for CDBG and HOME;Amendment to Citizen Participation
Plan
Unfortunately,there are several errors in the draft Annual Action Plan regarding Huntington Beach's housing element
that need to be corrected.
On pages 59-62 of the draft plan, it is implied that the City Council would adopted an amended housing element at its
3/21/2023 meeting.This didn't happen and a majority of the City Council voted down the amended housing element at
its 4/4/2023 meeting.
I'm concerned that this Council decision works against HUD's core mission of affirmatively forwarding fair housing and
may even put critical federal funding to the city like CDBG and HOME grants at risk.
I urge you to meet with the City Manager and key staff to find a solution to this problem as soon as possible.

Subject:Vote YES on Agenda Item#30(Reso 23-288); Potential Loss of HUD CDBG Funds
Dear City Council Members,
1. I urge you to vote YES on this agenda item. Although I wish that more funds were available to be used for
rental assistance to tenants,(including mobile home owners),it appears that the City Staff has done a good job
in calculating funding available for the City's needs for which CDBG funds may be used.
2. Also, I urge you to consider how the City's recent stance on housing vs. environmental concerns may
undermine the City's ability to comply with the environmental reviews that all CDBG funded projects require.I
implore you to do everything possible to bring the City's litigation to an end promptly. Doing this will prevent
the likely loss of the CDBG funds that go to fund the numerous services that lower income residents need.

OBJECTIVES
The City's Citizen Participation Plan is designed to ensure equitable representation of all segments
of the population and to aid communication between the City and its residents on matters
pertaining to the use of all federal funding from HUD. The Citizen Participation Plan sets forth
policies and procedures the City Council adopted to encourage citizen involvement regarding the
use of federal funds, notably Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME
Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds. The intent of the Citizen Participation Plan is to
encourage those least likely to participate in the process, especially low-income persons living in
distressed neighborhoods, in public and assisted housing developments,and in areas where CDBG
funds are proposed to be used. This document outlines basic tenets of the citizen participation
regulations and remains in effect throughout the implementation of the City's entitlement awards
from the federal government or until these funds are closed out.

GUIDELINES FOR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The citizen participation process provides citizens of Huntington Beach with a formal opportunity
to take part in the development of housing and community development programs and
amendments to adopted plans at a community-wide level in a public forum during a specified City
Council Meeting or Citizen Participation Advisory Board meeting. Listed below are the specific
guidelines governing information access, public notices, and technical assistance, among others,
that the City will follow to encourage citizen participation in the preparation of the Consolidated
Plan,Annual Plan,AFH, and CAPER.
Citizen Participation Advisory Board
The Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) was established in October 1996. It is
comprised of seven members appointed by each of the individual City Council members. The
CPAB strives to represent the diverse views on the socioeconomic issues related to low/moderate
income individuals. To that end, low-income residents and members of minority groups are
encouraged to apply to the City for appointment to the CPAB when vacancies arise, so that
members of minority groups can be substantially represented.
The purpose of the (CPAB) is to provide citizen participation and coordination in the City's
planning processes for HUD formula grants,principally the CDBG and HOME-Programs. Along
with staff,the Board shall assess the needs of the community particularly that of low and moderate-
income households, evaluate and prioritize projects pertaining to the required plans-and provide
recommendations to City Council on such plans and projects, and consider alternative public
involvement techniques and quantitative ways to measure efforts that encourage citizen
participation.
It is the responsibility of the CPAB to review grant proposals and make recommendations to the
City Council concerning federal funding, specifically for CDBG Public Services programs and
activities. Committee meetings are open to,the public and are held regularly during the CDBG
application and deliberation period. The CPAB establishes its meeting dates by consensus. All
meetings are open to the public and special meetings may be called in conformance with the Ralph
M. Brown Act. The Board will hold public hearings to obtain citizen input on community needs,
plans or proposals. The CPAB is encouraged to hold public meetings in areas where there is a
significant concentration of low to moderate-income persons.To ensure that all City residents have
sufficient opportunity-to..take_notice_-of all_scheduled,.public_hearings, all..public..hearing.notices_
3IPage
will include the date,time and location of the City Council Chambers located at 2000 Main Street,
Huntington Beach and notification that meeting locations are accessible to the disabled. To
maximize community participation by individuals served through CDBG and HOME programs,
meetings may also b e held in the Oakview neighborhood, which is within an eligible low-and
moderate-income area.
Consolidated Plan, Annual Plan, Assessment to Fair Housing
As mandated by federal regulations,the City submits a Consolidated Plan and Assessment to Fair
Housing every five years and an Annual Plan every year to HUD.The Consolidated Plan is a long-
range plan that identifies community development and housing needs of low-income Huntington
Beach residents, establishes priorities, and describes goals, objectives and strategies to address
identified priorities. The Annual Plan is a document that lists specific activities for CDBG and
HOME funding in the upcoming program year, as well as applications for both federal programs.
An Assessment to Fair Housing (AFH) Plan describes patterns of integration and segregation;
racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty; disparities in access to opportunity; and
disproportionate housing needs.
The following steps will be taken to encourage all Huntington Beach citizens,including minorities,
non-English speaking or limited English proficient (LEP) persons, and persons with disabilities,
to participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan,Annual Plan,and AFH and afford these
citizens an opportunity to review and comment on them:
Consolidated Plan /Annual Plan

Survey (and in Spanish if necessary) to local agencies, and will conduct a consultation

identifying gaps in service.
2. The City will conduct a community workshop in English (and in Spanish if necessary)to

Assessment to Fair Housing Plan Revisions
An AFH previously accepted by HUD must be revised and submitted to HUD for review under
the following circumstances:
• A material change occurs. A material change is a change in circumstances in the.
jurisdiction of a program participant that affects the information on which the AFH is based
to the extent that the analysis, the fair housing contributing factors, or the priorities and
goals of the AFH no longer reflect actual circumstances. Examples include Presidentially
declared disasters, under title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act(42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), in the program participant's area that are of such
a nature as to significantly impact the steps a program participant may need to take to
affirmatively further fair housing; significant demographic changes; new significant
• contributing factors in the participant's jurisdiction; and civil rights findings,
determinations, settlements (including Voluntary Compliance Agreements), or court
orders.
A revised AFH under this circumstance must be submitted within 12 months of the onset
of the material change, or at a later date as HUD may provide. Where the material change
is the result of a Presidentially declared disaster, the revised AFH submission shall be
automatically extended to the date that is two years after the date upon which the disaster
declaration is made, and HUD may extend such deadline, upon request, for good cause
shown.
• Upon HUD's written notification specifying a material change that requires the revision.
Under this scenario,HUD will specify a date by which the program participant must submit
the revision of the AFH to HUD, taking into account the material change, the program
participant's capacity,and the need for a valid AFH to guide planning activities.HUD may
extend the due date upon written request by the program participant that describes the
reasons the program participant is unable to make the deadline.
On or before 30 calendar days following the date of HUD's written notification under this
circumstance, Huntington Beach may advise HUD in writing if it believes that a revision
_to.the_AEH..is_not_required.The City_will_state_with_specificity the_reasons_for_its_belief_that.
8IPage
a revision is not required. HUD will respond on or before 30 calendar days following the
date of the receipt of the City's correspondence and will advise the City in writing whether
HUD agrees or disagrees with the City. If HUD disagrees, the program participant must
proceed with the revision. HUD may establish a new'due date that is later than the date
specified in its original notification.
A revised AFH will consist of preparing and submitting amended analyses,assessments,priorities,
and goals that take into account the material change, including any new fair housing issues and
contributing factors that may arise as a result of the material change.A revision may not necessarily
require the submission of an entirely new AFH. The revision need only focus on the material
change and appropriate adjustments to the analyses, assessments,priorities, or goals.
Huntington Beach will follow citizen participation guidelines as outlined here for a Consolidated
Plan Substantial Amendment, including publishing a public notice at least thirty(30) days in
advance of a public hearing to adopt the Revised AFH and a 30-day public comment period.
Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER)
The City will prepare an annual CAPER to evaluate the progress of the Consolidated Plan and to
review accomplishments for the previous program year. Upon Completion of the CAPER and prior
to its submission to HUD, a public notice will be published in a newspaper of general circulation
announcing the availability of the CAPER for review and comment prior to a public meeting.This
public review and comment period shall be for a minimum 15-day period beginning on the day of
publication. During this period, citizens will have the opportunity to examine the CAPER and
submit comments to the City's Community Development Department/Community Enhancement
Division regarding the document. A public meeting will also serve to obtain the views of citizens
about program performance. A summary of comments or views along with a summary of any
comment or view not accepted and the reasons,therefore,will be attached to the CAPER.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Public comment, verbally or in writing, is accepted throughout the program year, and is
particularly invited during the noticed public comment periods described above. Public hearings
shall provide a major opportunity for citizen input on proposed neighborhood improvement
programs, activities, policies and procedures. At a minimum, the City will conduct two separate
public hearings annually—one for the purpose of soliciting comments from the public on needs
and priorities for the development of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Plan,and review ofprogram
performance, and a second for the purpose of adopting the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Plan.
Public hearings will be held at times convenient to potential and actual beneficiaries, and accessible
to the disabled.
Notices of public comment periods shall be published on the first day of the public comment
period, which shall conclude with the public hearing before City Council. To ensure that all City
residents have sufficient opportunity to take notice of all scheduled public hearings, all public
hearing notices, including the date, time and location, shall be published in a local newspaper of
9IPage
general circulation at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the public hearing and thirty (30)
days for the Consolidated Plan or Annual Plan. Public notices will be published in local
newspapers of general circulation when pertaining to any projects proposed citywide, such as the
Consolidated Plan,Annual Plan,or CAPER.
BACK-UP PROJECTS
The Annual Plan may contain a list of projects to be funded for the given program year under 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 Plan.
• If, during the development of the Annual Plan, staff 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.
A list of"back-up" projects can include public facility and infrastructure improvement projects
can be included in the Annual Plan and be approved by the City Council to serve as back- up
projects. The City may activate these back-up projects at any time when funding becomes
available. The City needs to receive HUD approval for these back-up projects along with the
approved and funded projects as part of its approval for the Annual Plan. Initiation and funding of
these projects would not constitute a substantial amendment as definird above.

I
In an effort to minimize displacement of persons and to assist any persons displaced by
governmental actions,the City of Huntington Beach has prepared a Residential Anti-Displacement
and Relocation Assistance Plan,which is provided in this document.
RESIDENTIAL ANTI-DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE
PLAN
This Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan (RARAP) is prepared by the
City in accordance with the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974,as amended;and
HUD regulations at 24 CFR 42.325 and is applicable to the City's CDBG, including the Section
108 Loan Guarantee Program, and HOME-assisted-projects.
Section 104(d)of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974,as amended(HCD Act),
and HUD's CDBG program regulations provide that,as a condition for receiving assistance, as a
grantee,the City must certify that it is following a RARAP,which contains two major components:
1. A requirement to replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low-moderate-income
dwelling units that are demolished or converted to a use other than low-moderate-income
housing in connection with an activity assisted under the HCD Act and 24 CFR
570.606(c)(1)); and
2. A requirement to provide certain relocation assistance to any lower income person
displaced as a direct result of(1)the demolition of any dwelling unit or(2)the conversion
of a low/moderate-income dwelling unit to a use other than a low/moderate-income
dwelling in connection with an assisted activity.
Minimize Displacement
Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, Huntington Beach
will take the following steps to minimize the direct and indirect displacement of persons from their
homes:
• Coordinate code enforcement with rehabilitation and housing assistance programs.
• Stage rehabilitation of apartment units to allow tenants to remain in the building complex
during and after the rehabilitation,working with empty units first.
• Where feasible,give priority to rehabilitation of housing in lieu of demolition to minimize
displacement.
13 1 P a g e
• If feasible, demolish or convert only dwelling units that are unoccupied or vacant
occupiable) dwelling units, especially if units are lower-income units as defined in 24 CFR
42.305.
• Target only those properties deemed essential to the need or success of the project.
Relocation Assistance to Displaced Persons
The City will provide relocation assistance for lower-income tenants who, in connection with an
activity assisted under the CDBG and HOME Programs, move permanently or move personal
property from real property as a direct result of the demolitions of any dwelling unit or the
conversion of a lower-income dwelling unit3 in accordance with requirements of 24 CFR 42.350.
A displaced person who is not a lower-income tenant will be provided relocation assistance in
accordance with the Uniform Act, as amended, and implementing regulations at 49 CFR Part 24.
One-for One Replacement of Lower-Income Dwelling Units
In accordance with section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as
amended (HCD Act) (Pub. L. 93-383, 42 U.S. C. 5301 et seq) and the implementing regulations
at 24 CFR 42.375,the City will fulfill its obligation of providing one-for-one replacement housing
by replacing all occupied and vacant occupiable lower-income dwelling unite demolished or
converted to a use other than lower-income housing in connection with a project assisted with
funds provided under the CDBG and HOME Programs.
To that end,the City,in fulfillment of 24 CFR 42.375,will replace all units triggering replacement-
housing obligations with comparable lower-income dwelling units. Acceptable replacement units
that are provided by the City or private developer will meet these requirements:
• The units will be located within the city and,to the extent feasible and consistent with other
statutory priorities, located within the same neighborhood as the units replaced.
i -
A vacant occupiable dwelling unit means a vacant dwelling unit that is in a standard condition; a vacant dwelling
unit that is in a substandard condition, but is suitable for rehabilitation; or a dwelling unit in any condition that has
been occupied(except by a squatter)at any time within the period beginning three months before the date of execution
of the agreement by the recipient covering the rehabilitation or demolition.
2 The term conversion means altering a housing unit to either use the dwelling for non-housing purposes, continue
to use a unit for housing;but it fails to meet the definition of lower-income dwelling unit;or it is used as an emergency
shelter. If a housing unit continues to be used for housing after completion of the project is not considered a
"conversion" insofar as the unit is owned and occupied by a person who owned and occupied the unit before the
project.
3 A lower-income dwelling unit means a dwelling unit with a market rent(including utility costs)that does not exceed
the applicable Fair Market Rent.
4 The term dwelling as defined by the URA at 49 CFR 24.2(a)(10) includes transitional housing units or non-
housekeeping units (SRO) commonly found in HUD programs. An emergency shelter is generally not considered a
"dwelling"because such afacility is usually not a place of permanent,transitional or customary and usual residence.
14IPage
• The units must be sufficient in number and size to house no fewer than the number of
occupants who could have been housed, as determined by the City's local housing
occupancy codes, in the units that are demolished or converted.
• The units must be provided in standard condition.
• Replacement units must initially be made available for occupancy up to one year prior to
the City publishing information regarding the project initiating replacement housing
requirements and ending three years after commencing demolition or rehabilitation related
to the conversion.
• Replacement units must remain lower-income dwelling units for a minimum often 10 years
from the date of initial occupancy. Replacement lower-income dwelling units may include
public housing or existing housing receiving Section 8 project-based assistance.
Disclosure and Reporting Requirements
Before entering into a contract committing the City to provide funds for a project that will directly
result in demolition or conversion of lower-income dwelling units, the City will make public by
publishing in a newspaper of general circulation and will submit to HUD the following information
in writing:
1. A description of the proposed assisted project.
2. The address, number of bedrooms and location on a map of lower-income dwelling units
that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as lower-income dwelling units as
a result of and assisted project.
3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion.
4. To the extent known,the address,number of lower-income dwelling units by size(number
of bedrooms) and location on a map of at the replacement lower-income housing that has
been or will be provided.
5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of the replacement dwelling
units.
6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a lower-income
dwelling unit for at least ten years from the date of initial occupancy.
7. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of lower-income dwelling units
with smaller dwelling units(e.g., a two-bedroom unit with two one-bedroom units),or any
proposed replacement of efficiency or single-room occupancy (SRO)units with units or a
different size, is appropriate and consistent with the housing needs and priorities identified
in the HUD-approved Consolidated Plan and 24 CFR 42.375(b).
To the extent that the specific location of the replacement dwelling units and other data in items
four through seven are unavailable at the time of the general submission,the City will identify the
general locations of such dwelling units on a map and complete the disclosure and submission
requirements as soon as the specific data is available.
Replacement not Required Based on Unit Availability
Under 24 CFR 42.375(d),the City may submit a request to HUD for a determination that the one-
to-one replacement requirement does not apply based on objective data that there is an adequate
supply of vacant lower-income dwelling units in standard condition available on a non-
discriminatory basis within the area.

to the Consolidated Plan or Annual Plan.Given the need to expedite actions to respond to COVID-
19,HUD waives the-30-day public comment period,in order to balance the need to respond quickly
to the growing spread and effects of COVID-19 with the statutory requirement to provide
reasonable notice and opportunity for citizens to comment on substantial amendments concerning
the proposed uses of CDBG and HOME funds.

Regulations at 24 CFR 91.105 (for local governments) set forth the Citizen Participation Plan
requirements for the City of Huntington Beach. For substantial amendments to the Consolidated
Plan,the regulations require the City to follow its Citizen Participation Plan to provide citizens with
reasonable notice and opportunity to comment. The Citizen Participation Plan must state how
reasonable notice and opportunity to comment will be given.HUD recognizes the efforts to contain
COVID-19 require limiting public gatherings, such as those often used to obtain citizen
participation, and that there is a need to respond quickly to the growing spread and effects of
COVID-19. Therefore, HUD waives this requirement to allow the City to determine what
constitutes reasonable notice and opportunity to comment given their circumstances. The waiver
is available through the end of Huntington Beach's 2020/21 Program Year(June 30, 2021).
Temporary Reasonable Notice and Opportunity to Comment: In the event that an amendment to
