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 for CDBG public services activities to the City Council. The CPAB recommendations for Fiscal Year 2023 -2024 are summarized in Table 2 of Attachment 1 of this report and described in detail in the 2023- 2024 Action Plan (Exhibit "B" to Attachment 2). The deadline for submission of the 2023-2024 Action Plan to HUD is May 15, 2023. In addition to the 2023-2024 Action Plan, the City Council is asked to consider an Amendment (Substantial) to the Citizen Participation Plan ("Amendment") authorizing various updates and revisions described below. Financial Impact: The City's FY 2023-2024 CDBG and HOME program budget is comprised of $1,560,363 in CDBG and $1,036,525 in HOME funds and includes HUD's annual entitlement allocation, carryover funds from prior fiscal year, and program income. Approval of the 2023-2024 Action Plan or the Amendment will not impact the General Fund. 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: City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 5 Printed on 4/27/2023 powere9,5) Leg start' File #: 23-288 MEETING DATE: 5/2/2023 A) Conduct a public hearing for the 2023-2024 Action Plan and an Amendment (Substantial) to the 2020/21-2024/25 Citizen Participation Plan; and, B) Adopt Resolution No. 2023-19, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach, California, Approving the 2023-2024 Action Plan for Federal Community Development Block Grant and Home Investment Partnerships Programs, and Approving the Amendment (Substantial) to the 2020/21-2024/25 Citizen Participation Plan"; and, C) Authorize the City Manager to sign all necessary related documents. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the 2023-24 Action Plan and the Amendment as presented and direct staff accordingly. However, if the City Council does not approve the 2023-24 Action Plan tonight, in order to make HUD's deadline of May 15, 2023, the City will be out of compliance with HUD regulations and would likely forfeit CDBG and HOME funding. Alternatively, 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 (Exhibit B of Attachment 2), which must be approved by the City Council at a public hearing and submitted to HUD by May 15, 2023. 2023-2024 CDBG and HOME Funding Levels On February 27, 2023, HUD released the City's funding levels for the 2023-2024 program year. In addition to the CDBG and HOME annual allocations, the City will also have available program income funds, which are payments on outstanding loans previously made by the City, and carryover funds, which are unused funds from previously approved projects, that are now available for new activities. CDBG and HOME rules limit the use of carryover funds only for eligible capital projects. As shown in Table 1 of Attachment 1, the City will receive $1,171,668 in CDBG entitlement funds, approximately $355,695 in prior year CDBG funds carried forward, and is estimated to receive $33,000 in program income for a total of$1,560,363 in 2023-2024 CDBG funding resources. As also City of Huntington Beach Page 2 of 5 Printed on 4/27/2023 powers 5 'LegistarT"' File #: 23-288 MEETING DATE: 5/2/2023 shown in Table 1 of Attachment 1, the City will receive $668,370 in HOME entitlement funds, approximately $323,155 in HOME carryover funds, and is estimated to receive $45,000 in program income for a total of$1,036,525 in 2023-2024 HOME funding resources. Funds 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 amount of funds available for public service programs is $175,750. Funds Available for CDBG Capital and Housing Preservation Projects The amount of funds available for CDBG Capital and Housing Preservation Projects is $1,150,279. CDBG regulations allow a variety of capital projects and activities that benefit low-income residents, including the development of affordable housing, rehabilitation and preservation of existing housing, improvements to public facilities to comply with requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and special code enforcement programs. Funds Available for HOME Capital Projects HOME regulations allow capital projects primarily for the creation of affordable housing and temporary rental assistance for low-income residents. The amount of funds available for HOME Capital Projects is $969,688. Funds Available for Program Administration Up to 20 percent of the City's CDBG allocation from HUD ($234,334) and 10 percent of its HOME allocation ($66,837) 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 2023-2024 Funding Recommendations On February 2, 2023, 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 presentations from seven CDBG public services applicants. Subsequently, on February 22, the CPAB met to deliberate and "make funding recommendations to the City Council, and by a unanimous vote, recommended that the City Council fund four of the seven public services applications that were received (see Table 2 of Attachment 1). The City received one application from the Fair Housing Foundation for fair housing services, and this program is recommended to be funded for $30,000 under the CDBG program administration category. CDBG capital and housing preservation projects consist of the City's Housing Rehabilitation City of Huntington Beach Page 3 of 5 , Printed on 4/27/2023 powere9531 LegistarTM File #: 23-288 MEETING DATE: 5/2/2023 Program, Special Code Enforcement Program, Central Library Restrooms ADA improvements, Maintenance Zone 4 ADA Improvements, and Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Program Administration in the total amount of$1,150,279. On March 7, the City Council and CPAB held a joint study session to review these funding recommendations, which are summarized in Table 2 of Attachment 1 and described in detail in the 2023-2024 Action Plan (Exhibit "B" of Attachment 2). Amendment(Substantial) to the 2020/21-2024/25 Citizen Participation Plan HUD regulations require the City to have an adopted Citizen Participation Plan to set forth the public .participation process the City will follow in its consolidated planning, application, and reporting processes. Part of the HUD entitlement process entails the grantee (in this case the City) to certify that it is in full compliance and is following its Citizen Participation Plan consistent with the requirements of 24 CFR 91.105. The City's Citizen Participation Plan was most recently approved in July 2020 and 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 proposed substantial Amendment to the Citizen, Participation Plan includes the following revisions: • Reducing the number of City Council public hearings from two per year to one per year to align with HUD regulations. This public hearing will be to review and approve the Annual Action Plan. If approved, the annual end of year summary report called the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report ("CAPER") will be submitted to the City Council as a consent calendar item rather than as a public hearing item. • Updating the City Council meeting day from the first and third Mondays to Tuesdays. • Describing the role of CPAB in making funding recommendations to the City Council. • Updating Housing Division staff contact information. These amendments are incorporated and described in the draft Amendment to the Citizen Participation Plan (Exhibit "C" to Attachment 2). 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 approved CDBG and HOME activities prior to the start of the program year (July 1, 2023).

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 2023/24 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 2023/24 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.

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 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 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 2023/24,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 2020/21-2024/25 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 funded through Administrative costs,to the Huntington Beach community. 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 202o/21-2024/25 Consolidated Plan period.To date,the City has not awarded funds to public facility projects; however, in FY 2023124,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 5,000 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 4,00o 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.

The City developed its five-year (2020/21 — 2024125) 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: Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 10 1.

Housing and Community Development Needs Survey In order to evaluate public opinion of specific housing and community development needs for the 2020/21 — 2024/25 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, 2019, November 7, 2019, December 5, 2019, and February 20, 2020 at Huntington Beach City Hall and at the Oak View Branch Library.

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.

Agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds leverage significant financial and in-kind support from individual community members,foundations, and private organizations that help meet 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-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 30,2022. 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.

Therefore, in FY 2023124, 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 2023124. 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 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 2023124, Huntington Beach has set aside the required 15% CHDO allocation for the development of affordable housing for a yet to be determined project. Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 28 PROJECTS AP-35 Projects- 91.22o(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 met 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 $1,171,668, the City of Huntington Beach allocated $175,75o for public services, representing 15%of the CDBG entitlement.This Annual Action Plan proposes to allocate the following to 2023124 public services: Stand Up for Kids Street Outreach (19,896); Robyne's Nest ($50,000); Project Hope Alliance ($20,854); and Children's Bureau($85,000).CDBG regulations also permit a maximum allocation of 2o%of the annual entitlement, or $234,334, for CDBG administration activities. The City has allocated $204,334 for CDBG Administration and $30,00o 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 2023124. 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 Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 29 that meet the needs of the community as defined in the Consolidated Plan.

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.

Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 47 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.

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 2023124 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 located anywhere in the city.

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 2023124,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$546,277. 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 CH DO affordable housing project in the future. Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 51 AP-6o Public Housing- 91.22o(h) The City of Huntington Beach does not have any public housing developments. However, it is one of a number of cities that benefits from the services of the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA), which currently manages Housing Choice Vouchers for residential units within Huntington Beach.

Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 52 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 2023124. 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 1,60o 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 HU.D 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 Reaching out 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 2021/22, 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 2023124, 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 2023124, Robyne's Nest will assist 42 youth. 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 30, 2023. 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 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 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 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 2023124 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 2023124, 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 2023124,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- 91.22o(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 Program IF.Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Objective:Continue the TBRA program with qualified service providers and seek to assist 200 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 of the 2021-2029 Housing Element update. 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 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 20%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 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 1o%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. 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. • Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 61 • Amending the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance to create a new Chapter 229 — Affordable Housing Overlay, which establishes permitted uses and development standards for the proposed Affordable Housing Overlay. • Amending the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan to expand the existing Affordable Housing Overlay and apply the Overlay to sites identified in the Housing Element sites inventory. • Amending the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan (SP9) to establish an Affordable Housing Overlay and designate properties identified in the Housing Element sites inventory with the Affordable Housing Overlay. • Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 62 AP-85 Other Actions- 91.2zo(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.

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.

It is the largest federal block grant to state and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households. In FY 2023/24,Huntington Beach will be allocated$668,370 from HUD,will have an estimated$323,155 in prior year funds carried over,plus anticipated program income of $45,000, for a total of$1,036,525 to allocate to HOME Program Administration (limited to 10% of grant), tenant based rental assistance programs, and for the development of affordable housing. 2023 HOME Program Administration: $ 66,837 CH DO Reserve/Affordable Housing: $223,411 Families Forward Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program: $200,000 Mobile Home Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program: $546,277 Total 2023/24 HOME Proiacts: $1,036,525 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 projects 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.

Community Development Department/Community Enhancement Division — Charles Kovac, Housing Manager 2. Community Development Department/Community Enhancement Division — Gregory Hoang,Sr. Housing Analyst 3. Community Development Department/Community Enhancement Division — Kim Radding,Administrative Aide Public Comments • Brittany Bas, resident and founder of the AMUSE Foundation, spoke in follow-up to her comments offered at the meeting of the Citizen Participation Advisory Board on January 19, 2023. Ms. Bas would like the City Council to consider creating a policy requiring landlords, apartment complexes, and commercial rental owners to watch a health and adversity orientation video or attend a seminar upon permit submission or approval. A letter relating this request was distributed to all Board Members. • Victor Valladares, resident and representative of OVCC and prior CPAB Board Member, spoke in support of redirecting the CDBG grant funding that is currently assigned to provide two Code Enforcement Officers to the Oak View neighborhood. Mr. Valladares delivered his comments in both Spanish and English. Review of Annual Community Development Block Grant Public Services Applications for 2023/24 Program Year • Staff Liaison Kovac made a brief presentation to the Board and provided a summary of the applications received for CDBG Public Services funding. The City receives approximately $1.2 million annually in CDBG funding. The Public Services activities that 2 Huntington Beach Citizen Participation Comments 2023/24 Annual Action Plan CPAB will consider are restricted to 15% of the allocation. Total grant requests of $240,272 were received from eligible non-profit organizations providing Public Services. An application submitted by WEECare Inc., a for-profit entity, was determined ineligible to receive CDBG Public Services funding and has been withdrawn from CPAB consideration. In compliance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandate, fair housing services are required and are not included in the Public Services Budget. • Staff Liaison Kovac noted that HUD has not yet released the grant amount that the City of Huntington Beach will receive for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

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.

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.

As required by HUD regulations 24 CFR 91.105, the City must have and follow a detailed Citizen Participation Plan that specifies the city's policies and procedures for engaging citizens and encouraging them to participate in creating, evaluating, and implementing the CDBG and HOME programs and the Assessment of Fair Housing(AFH). The 2020/21-2024/25 Citizen Participation Plan (Citizen Participation Plan) was available for public review and comment between April 3, 2020 and May 4, 2020. The City published a notice in the Orange County Register on April 2, 2020 informing the public of the availability of the document for review and comment.The public had access to review the draft document at the City of Huntington Beach Community Enhancement Division and on the City's website. The public was invited to provide comments on the Citizen Participation Plan at a public hearing conducted during the regular meeting of the Huntington Beach City Council on May 4, 2020. The draft Amended Citizen Participation Plan was available for public review and comment between March 17, 2023 and April 18, 2023. The City published a notice in The Wave (Orange County Register) on March 16, 2023 informing the public of the availability of the document for review and comment. The public has access to review the draft amended document at the City's Community Development Department, Community Enhancement Division located at 2000 Main Street, 5th Floor, Huntington Beach, CA and on the City's website. The public was invited to provide comments on the Amended Citizen Participation Plan at a regular public meeting of the Huntington Beach City Council on May 2, 2023. 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. 11Page The Citizen Participation Plan promotes citizen participation in the following key areas: • Preparation and review of,and comment on the: ✓ Consolidated Plan,a five-year strategic plan that outlines the strategy and goals for the City's use of the federal funding sources. ✓ Annual Plan, which describes projects that will be undertaken in the upcoming fiscal year with the federal funding sources. ✓ Substantial Amendments to a Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Plan. • ✓ Assessment of Fair Housing(AFH). • Provides an opportunity for residents to review and comment on the annual Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), which describes Huntington Beach's implementation of activities funded by the HUD formula programs CDBG and HOME. • Provides residents reasonable and timely access to information,meetings, and records. • Provides assistance for non-English-speaking and Limited English Proficient (LEP) persons upon advance request provided such services are available. • Provides reasonable accommodations for those with disabilities upon advance request. ROLE OF CITIZENS Citizen involvement is-essential in assuring that City policies,procedures,programs and activities are well suited to local needs. Citizens' concerns and ideas may be expressed to the City Council. . The City Council addresses itself to the development,review and adoption of the following areas: A. The City's Consolidated Plan and Annual Plan. B. The submission of the City's CAPER. C. City improvement strategies,programs,policies and procedures. D. The Citizen Participation Plan. Regular meetings of the City Council/Public Financing Authority are held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, and typically begin on or preceding the hour of 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. A Study Session used to present information to Council for discussion purposes only with no objection being taken or Closed Session may be convened subject to the Ralph M.Brown Act, and may be scheduled prior to the main, public meeting that convenes at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

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 1. In preparation of the Consolidated Plan, the City will distribute a Community Needs Survey (and in Spanish if necessary) to local agencies, and will conduct a consultation workshop with housing, health, homeless, disabled, and other social service providers to identify key housing and community development needs and issues in the City, as well as identifying gaps in service. 2. The City will conduct a community workshop in English (and in Spanish if necessary) to solicit citizens' opinions regarding perceived community needs during development of the Consolidated Plan, and provide a written Community Needs Survey (in Spanish if necessary)to establish expenditure priorities of CDBG and HOME monies. 3.

In conjunction with consultation with public housing agencies, the City will encourage participation of residents in public and assisted housing developments while developing 4IPage and implementing the Consolidated Plan, along with other low-income residents of targeted revitalization areas in which the developments are located. The City will provide information to public housing agencies in Huntington Beach and surrounding cities about consolidated plan activities related to its developments and surrounding communities so that the PHA can make this information available at the annual public hearing required for the PHA Plan. 6. Prior to the publication of the City's Consolidated Plan,the first of two public hearings will be held to solicit and consider any public comments(oral and written)on the use of CDBG and HOME funds. The public hearing will serve to obtain the views of citizens on housing and community development needs, including priority non-housing community development needs. 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, and summary of the proposed action shall be published in a local newspaper of general circulation at least fifteen(15)days prior to the date of the public hearing.

Plan Amendments and Revisions Consolidated Plan /Annual Plan Amendments Consolidated Plans.and/or Annual Plans may be revised during the program year. • Minor Amendments. Any revisions not defined below as a Substantial Amendment 6IPage constitutes a minor amendment not requiring public notification or citizen participation in advance of implementing such changes. Upon completion, the City will make the amendment public by placing the amendment to the City's website and will notify HUD that an amendment has been made. The City will submit a copy of each amendment to HUD as it occurs, or at the close of program year. Minor changes and/or corrections may be made, so long as the changes do not constitute a substantial amendment. Minor changes, including but not limited to modifications of goal outcome indicators, will not be considered a substantial amendment and do not require public review or a public hearing. • Substantial Amendments. The following changes to the City's Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Plan constitute substantial amendments requiring public notification and public review subject to the citizen participation process described at 24 CFR 91.105 and 24 CFR 91.115. • 1. The City makes a change in its allocation priorities or a change in the method of distribution of funds. 2. An addition,modification, or elimination of a Consolidated Plan goal. 3. The City carries out an activity not previously described in the Annual Plan using funds covered by the Consolidated Plan, including Program Income. 4. The City proposes not to carry out an activity described in the Annual Plan and, if funded, cancel the activity in the federal Integrated Disbursement Information System(IDIS). 5. There is a change in the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity in the Annual Plan. 6. There is a cumulative change in the use of CDBG or HOME funds from one activity to another activity in the Annual Plan that exceeds 30 percent of the entitlement award for the program year. If the CDBG award,for instance,is$1.0 million, then an activity budget(s) could be increased or decreased by up to $300,000. In the event that an amendment to the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Plan qualifies as a substantial change, citizens will be given an opportunity to participate in the planning process.This opportunity will be afforded to the citizens by following these steps: 1. The City will publish a notice describing the contents and purpose of the proposed substantial amendment to the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Plan in a newspaper of general circulation. The summary will also include a list of locations where a complete draft of the Amended Consolidated Plan and/or Amended Annual Plan may be obtained for review. 2. The publication of the summary will commence a 30-day public comment period, 7IPage during which citizens will have the opportunity to examine the proposed Amended Consolidated Plan and/or Amended Annual Plan and submit comments regarding the draft document to the City's Community Development Department / Community Enhancement Division. 3. After the close of the 30-day public comment period,the City Council will consider approving the Substantial Amendment to the City's Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Plan. All substantial amendments to the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Plan and all amendments to the Citizen Participation Plan will be reviewed and approved by the City Council. 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 final Amended Consolidated Plan and/or Amended Annual Plan. 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 AFH 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 defined above. • 101Page ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND RECORDS Any citizen, organization, or other interested party may submit written requests for information regarding the Consolidated Plan,Annual Plan,AFH,or CAPER, including the City's use of funds under the CDBG and HOME programs and the benefit to low- to moderate-income residents during the preceding five years.

ANTI- DISPLACEMENT The City of Huntington Beach strives to avoid and minimize the displacement of individuals as a result of HUD funded activities. Therefore,to the greatest extent possible,the City: • Will consider the impact of displacement in the site selection, during the project planning phase. • Will provide information to displaced individual's on available assistance and relocations benefits. 12IPage 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. 13IPage • 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 units' 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. a 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 a facility 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 of ten 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). 15IPage • 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. 161Page DEFINITIONS Annual Action Plan. A one-year(July 1 —June 30)planning document detailing approved funding allocations for specific eligible activities.

The general and permanent rules and regulations published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the U.S. government. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, the CDBG Program combined multiple federal categorical grants under one regulation. The funds are a block grant that can be used to address critical and unmet community needs including those for housing rehabilitation, public facilities, infrastructure, economic development, public services, and more. The City is provided an annual grant on a formula basis as a CDBG Entitlement recipient. Funds are used to develop a viable urban community by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The CAPER is prepared at the end of the program year to detail how funds were actually expended and the extent to which these funds were used for activities that benefitted low-and moderate-income people.The CAPER is submitted to HUD within 90-days of the program year end.

This addendum outlines steps the City will take during the national emergency to support communication and encourage involvement between the City and its residents on matters pertaining to the use of all federal funding from HUD,particularly those funds that will be used to prevent,prepare, and respond to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)pandemic. These temporary guidelines will therefore apply to CDBG funding under FY 2019/20, FY 2020/21, and the Coronavirus Aid,Relief,and Economic Security(CARES)Act funds,as well as HOME funds under FY 2019/20 and FY 2020/21, unless otherwise extended due to a longer period of national emergency. This Citizen Participation Plan may also be amended from time to time to include additional or revised procedures issued by HUD in response to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID- 19)pandemic. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD FOR CONSOLIDATED PLAN SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENTS DURING COVID -19 PANDEMIC The City of Huntington Beach may amend an approved consolidated plan in accordance with 24 CFR 91.505. Substantial amendments to the consolidated plan are subject to the citizen participation process which usually requires a 30-day public comment period to allow interested citizens a period of time by which they have an opportunity to comment on any proposed changes 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. Temporary Public Comment Period: This 30-day minimum for the required public comment period is waived for substantial amendments, provided that no less than 5 days are provided for public comments on each substantial amendment. The waiver is available through the end of Huntington Beach's 2020/21 Program Year(June 30, 2021): CITIZEN PARTICIPATION REASONABLE NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC 18JPage 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 the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Plan qualifies as a substantial change, citizens will be given an opportunity to participate in the planning process. This opportunity will be afforded to the citizens by following these steps: 1. The City will publish a notice describing the contents and purpose of the proposed • substantial amendment to the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan on the City's website at www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/business/economic-development/cdbg/ in lieu of a newspaper of general circulation. Along with the public notice, the City will post the subject Amended Consolidated Plan and/or Amended Annual Action Plan for public review. The Amendments can also be delivered to persons wishing to review it via U.S. mail or via email upon request by calling the City's Community Development Department / Community Enhancement Division at (714) 374-1626 or by emailing Gregory.Hoang@surfcity-hb.org. 2. The publication of the notice will commence a 3 five-day public comment period, during which citizens will have the opportunity to examine the proposed Amended Consolidated Plan and/or Amended Annual Plan and submit comments regarding the draft document to the City's Community Development Department/Community Enhancement Division via the following methods: • By calling the City of Huntington Beach, Community Enhancement Division at (714) 374-1626. • Via email Gregory Hoang@a,surfcity-hb.org • Via U.S. mail addressed to: City of Huntington Beach, Community Enhancement Division, 2000 Main Street, 5th Floor,Huntington Beach, CA 92648. 3. After the close of the 5-day public comment period, the City Council will consider approving the Substantial Amendment to the City's Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Plan. To follow recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control(CDC) and the President's Coronavirus Guidelines for America, which include avoiding social gatherings and implementing social distancing, the City Council will not hold in-person public hearings, however the City may opt to hold virtual public hearings, which will be described in advance in the public notice. All substantial amendments to the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Plan and all amendments to the Citizen Participation'Plan will be reviewed and approved by the City Council.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 final Amended Consolidated Plan and/or Amended Annual Plan. 19IPage Res.

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.

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.

Agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds leverage significant financial and in-kin 22s-lam d support from individual community members,foundations, and private organizations that help meet the needs identified in t Likewise, the City also leverages other resources`among'the aformula 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 , :d pits �: former Redevelopment Agency;and a State SERAFfloan 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 ydevelopments The City was required to utilize 20% of these funds to develop low and moderate �mcome housing. The City's match surplus is approximately $2,741,888 as of September 30,zozz. If appropriate,describe publicly owned.land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs dentified 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.

Based on HUD recommendations, general relative priorities for funding will be as follows: re 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. t � t � ja t tij, ray , i...r kw Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 31 AP-38 Project Summary Project Summary Information Project Names `` ,� lcz, Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants w i., ,,,,,mm,„ . .. :y= X'" ,„4 Program; ?�s+� P. w ,.'4 .

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 th t;„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`ilead to the acceptance of resources, benefitting the homeless individual and aid in the goal of reducing the homeless population in Huntington Beach.sThe City will continue these efforts into FY 2023124. _ In addition, the Huntington Beach1,Police Department will'con'tinue the Homeless Outreach Program made up of three homeless outreach case;managers and four police officers that serve as the City's po n persons for homeless issues: Since its inception in 2016,the Homeless OutreachProgram 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, an'd 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 Home ess 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 330 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 54 including Reaching out 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 2021/22, and funding annual public service programs that serve this clientele.This multi-pronged approach includes reaching out to homeless persons and rassessing their,individual needs, reuniting individuals with family members, working within the' Cony'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 helpefd,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. A 4 � 4+ � In FY 2023124, 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;ging-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 2023124, Robyne's Nest will assist 42 youth. Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 55 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-omrnunity assessments and stabilization services at a caller's location. On February 15 022,the City`Councilrunanimously 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 2otg/2o,the City Council approved,purchase,of property located at t7631 Cameron Lane using non-federal funds to establish a Navigation Center,local homeless emergency shelter. The City has also contributed over�$3.86 million` federal funding from the CDBG, CDBG-CV 'al•� 4 t •:pf (CARES Act), and HOME-ARP(American Rescue Plan) programs to fund operations of the � ,, fir 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 socialrservices, medical services, and benefits to stabilize them with the goal of transitioningthem 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 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 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 56 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 2023124 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 2023124, 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 57 • 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 be compliant with.State law regarding the definition, processing, and approval processor LowlBarrier Navigation Centers. These efforts will be primarily led by the Deputy 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,Hoff required to_ develop a discharge coordination policy.However,the continue to address a discharge coordination policy with the Orange County"Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force ax Huntington Beach 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 58 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing— 91.22o(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 theYlevel 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 suitable for,residential development. Separate owners of smaller parcels hold much of the underdeveloped-and residentially zoned land in the City.This calls for.alternat►ve;policy tools, such as lot consolidation and/or demolition of' existing older structures. ao 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 Cityrhas 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 2023/24 Annual Action Plan 59 housing funds, the City will continue to advocate for and pursue federal, state, local and private funding sources for affordable housing. Also, on March 21, 2023, the Huntington Beach City Council is scheduled to conduct a public hearing on the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update, the Subsequent EIR (SEIR), and the Associated Program Implementation Action — Affordable Housing Overlay. The Housing Element is one of the State-mandated elements of the City's General Plan and 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. The Housing Element Update proposes to accommodate. the RHNA through 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 fo,r multi-family residential uses at densities ranging from 35 jo dwelling units per acre�by ng t provided that�at least zo percent of the units are affordable to lower income households. The 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 zo2� 2ozg Housing Element specifically address the variety ofregulatory. and financial tools used'by the City to,remove barriers and facilitate the provision of affordable housing: Program 14),Multi-family Acquisition and,Rehabilitation Objective The acquisition/rehabilitation ,program will. continue to be a part of the.

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 Wage from the federal government or until these funds are closed out. The Citizen Participation Plan promotes citizen participation in the following key areas: • Preparation and review of,and comment on the: ✓ Consolidated Plan,a five-year strategic plan that outlines the strategy and goals for the City's use of the federal funding sources. ✓ Annual Action Plan, which describes projects that will be undertaken in the upcoming fiscal year with the federal funding sources. ✓ Substantial Amendments to a Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan. ✓ Assessment of Fair Housing(AFH). • Provides an opportunity for residents to review and comment on the annual Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), which describes Huntington Beach's implementation of activities funded by the HUD formula programs CDBG and HOME. • Provides residents reasonable and timely access to information,meetings, and records. • Provides assistance for non-English-speaking and Limited English Proficient (LEP) persons upon advance request provided such services are available. • Provides reasonable accommodations for those with disabilities upon advance request.

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(CPAB)Mmeeting.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 Action 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 Citizen Participation Advisory Board(CPAB)is to provide citizen participation and coordination in the City's planning processes for HUD formula grants,principally the Community CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnerships Act (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 3IPage 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 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 ap-e- may also b e held in the Oakview neighborhood, which is within an eligible low- and moderate-income area. Consolidated Plan, Annual A-eti-e* 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 Action 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 Aetien 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 Action Plan, and AFH and afford these citizens an opportunity to review and comment on them: Consolidated Plan /Annual 4etie* Plan 1.

The City will submit a copy of each amendment to HUD as it occurs,or at the close of program year. Minor changes and/or corrections may be made, so long as the changes do not constitute a substantial amendment. Minor changes, including but not limited to modifications of goal outcome indicators, will not be considered a substantial amendment and do not require public review or a public hearing. • Substantial Amendments. The following changes to the City's Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan constitute substantial amendments requiring public notification and public review subject to the citizen participation process described at 24 CFR 91.105 and 24 CFR 91.115. 1. The City makes a change in its allocation priorities or a change in the method of distribution of funds. 2. An addition, modification, or elimination of a Consolidated Plan goal. 3. The City carries out an activity not previously described in the Annual Action Plan using funds covered by the Consolidated Pplan, including Program Income. 4. The City proposes not to carry out an activity described in the Annual Action Plan and, if funded, cancel the activity in the federal Integrated Disbursement Information System(IDIS). 5.

There is a cumulative change in the use of CDBG or HOME funds from one activity to another activity in the Annual Ashes Plan that exceeds 30 percent of the entitlement award for the program year. If the CDBG award, for instance, is $1.0 million, then an activity budget(s) could be increased or decreased by up to $300,000. 7I Page In the event that an amendment to the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual A etion Plan qualifies as a substantial change, citizens will be given an opportunity to participate in the planning process.This opportunity will be afforded to the citizens by following these steps: 1. The City will publish a notice describing the contents and purpose of the proposed substantial amendment to the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Actions Plan in a newspaper of general circulation. The summary will also include a list of locations where a complete draft of the Amended Consolidated Plan and/or Amended Annual Action Plan may be obtained for review. 2.

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 2 two years after the date upon which the disaster declaration is made, and HUD may extend such deadline, upon request, for good cause Wage 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 AFH is not required.The City will state with specificity the reasons for its belief that 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 healing 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 / Office of Community Enhancement Division regarding the document. A public hearing 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 9.LPage_ 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 throe 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 Action Plan, and review of program performance, and a second for the purpose of adopting the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan. Plan (C A PER) f llowing of program performance. 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 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 Action Plan, or and CAPER. BACK-UP PROJECTS The Annual Action 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 Action Plan. • If, during the development of the Annual Action 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 Action 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 Action Plan. Initiation and funding of these projects would not constitute a substantial amendment as defined above. 10IPage ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND RECORDS Any citizen, organization, or other interested party may submit written requests for information regarding the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, AFH, or CAPER, including the City's use of funds under the CDBG and HOME programs and the benefit to low- to moderate-income residents during the preceding five years.

Replacement lower-income dwelling units may include public housing or existing housing receiving Section 8 project-based assistance.

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.

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 Program yeec Year(June 30, 2021).
