HOME is the principal federal program providing local governments with grants to expand the availability of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents. The Consolidated Plan describes the City's proposed use of CDBG and HOME funds for addressing housing and non-housing community development needs of low- and moderate-income residents during a five-year plan period. As a means to achieve the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan, each year the City prepares an Annual Action Plan that outlines the projects, programs, and activities that will be implemented during the specified year. The current Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan are available for public review on the City's website at huntingtonbeachca.gov/business/economic-development/cdbg. After the conclusion of each year, the City must prepare a CAPER that summarizes the expenditure of funds and accomplishments for that year. Each of these plans and reports are required to be prepared by the City and submitted to HUD to remain eligible for federal entitlement grant funds. The draft FY 2022-23 CAPER (Attachment 1) has been prepared in a HUD-prescribed format containing the information required pursuant to federal regulations. Also pursuant to federal regulations, the CAPER has been made available to Huntington Beach residents for review and comment. A notice was published in The Wave on August 31, 2023 inviting the public to submit written comments concerning the CAPER or to express their views during at the City Council meeting. Following this public review period, the CAPER must be considered for approval by the City Council and then submitted to HUD by September 28, 2023. In FY 2022-23, the City Council provided funding to four nonprofit organizations that delivered a range of services benefitting lower income Huntington Beach residents. Funds were also allocated to City programs for housing repairs and improvements, special code enforcement, and emergency rental assistance for lower income residents. The program accomplishments are summarized below and detailed in the attached CAPER. Public Services Accomplishments (CDBG) HUD allows up to 15 percent of CDBG funds to be used for public service programs. In FY 2022-23, the City Council allocated the maximum amount of $176,879 for public service programs administered by social service agencies and City departments that assisted senior, disabled, youth, and homeless individuals. Examples of public service program accomplishments during FY 2022-23 include the following: • Care management services were provided to 370 frail, elderly, homebound, and at-risk seniors, including nutrition, home safety, mobility, social support, and emotional well-being. • After school enrichment activities and healthy development programs were made available to 253 children. City of Huntington Beach Page 2 of 3 Printed on 9/14/2023 powered by LegistarTM' File #: 23-736 MEETING DATE: 9/19/2023 • Homelessness prevention and assistance services were provided to 456 residents. Capital Accomplishments (CDBG) The City Council allocated $923,954 to CDBG capital projects. The following is a partial list of the program accomplishments: • Ten housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income residents were rehabilitated. • Two code enforcement officers detected, investigated, and enforced 1,795 violations of public health, safety, and/or welfare affecting lower income residents. Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (HOME) The City Council allocated $599,397 to the homelessness prevention Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program. This program is administered by Families Forward and Mercy House, and 33 households were provided with emergency short-term rent and utility assistance. The number of assisted households fell just below the projected goal by four due primarily to challenges with high rents and low vacancies in the City's residential rental market. Therefore, approximately $188,724 of unspent HOME funds will be carried-over to FY 2023-24. In November 2022, the City Council approved the new Mobile Home TBRA Program and allocated $391,654 in HOME funds to assist lower income senior mobile home owners having difficulty paying increasing space rents. The Mobile Home TBRA Program launched in April 2023 and through June 30, 2023 has provided rental assistance to 23 households. 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). Strategic Plan Goal: Economic Development & Housing Attachment(s): 1.

The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, implements projects and also awards grants to nonprofit, for-profit, or public organizations for projects in furtherance of the adopted Consolidated Plan.The CDBG and HOME programs generally provide for a range of eligible activities for the benefit of low-and moderate-income Huntington Beach residents. The CAPER discusses affordable housing outcomes, homelessness and special needs activities, non-housing community development activities, and other actions in furtherance of the City's Annual Action Plan projects and programs for Fiscal Year(FY) 2022/23 (July 1, 2022 to June 3o, 2023). For the 2022/23 fiscal year, the City received $1,179,193 of CDBG funds from HUD, which were combined in the Action Plan with $173,198 of unexpended CDBG funds from prior years, and $28,858 in program income receipts for a total investment of $1,381,249. In HOME funding, the City was awarded $676,539, coupled with $661,607 in prior year unspent funds, and new program income received in the amount of $147,185, made $1,485,331 available for the fiscal year. This investment of CDBG and HOME funds was a catalyst for positive change in the community.Together with other federal, state and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City and its partners to: • Provide fair housing services to 405 residents. • Provide homelessness prevention and assistance services to 456 residents. • Provide special needs services such as senior services to 37o residents. • Provide public services to 253 children. • Provide tenant-based rental assistance and housing operation services to 56 eligible households. • Provide 10 homeowners with assistance in the form of grants and loans to make significant housing repairs and improvements. In 2020,the City received a special allocation of Coronavirus Aid, Relief,and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) funding in the amount of $2,159,775 to be used on activities that prevent, 2022/23 CAPER 1 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) prepare for, or respond to the impacts of COVID-19.The City Council allocated the majority of those funds, $2,028,847, to the Navigation Center with only $130,928 allocated to program administration. To date, the Navigation Center has provided overnight shelter and wraparound services to 893 homeless persons. Finally, in 2021, HUD allocated $2,240,675 in another special allocation of funding to the City of Huntington Beach. The HOME-American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP) provides funding to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability. Thus far, the City of Huntington Beach has received HUD approval on the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan that proposes to allocate$2,190,675 for supportive services at the Navigation Center and the City's Project Homekey development, HB Oasis Project. Only $50,000 of the grant will be used for program administration.

Consistent with the City's Priority Needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan, the City allocated majority of its CDBG funding to non-housing community development activities (code enforcement and public services), preceded by the community's housing needs and program administration funded by both CDBG and HOME. The City's Priority Needs are a product of the Needs Assessment, Housing Market Analysis, public input, and community needs survey — all conducted during the development of the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan's five-year priorities for assistance with CDBG and HOME funds also takes into consideration several factors such as: 1) those households most in need of housing and community development assistance, as determined through the Consolidated Plan needs assessment, consultation, and public participation process; 2)which activities will best meet the needs of those identified households; and 3) the extent of other non-federal resources that can be utilized to leverage/match CDBG and HOME funds to address these needs. Overall,the approved projects and programs in the FY 2022/23 Annual Action Plan assisted as many participants as possible with limited resources available. In the area of affordable housing,the City funded homeowner rehabilitation and tenant based rental assistance. In FY 2022/23,the City's goal was to fund and complete a total of eight rehabilitation projects over the course of the year and the City exceeded this goal by completing ten. The City also funded three tenant based rental assistance programs including one for mobile home occupants that need assistance with space rents. Collectively, the City had a goal of assisting 67 households, however, only 84% of the goal was met. The programs have continued into FY 2023/24, in which it is anticipated that approximately 4o additional households will be served using FY 2022/23 HOME funds for tenant based rental assistance. The City did not have any new goals for the development of affordable housing in FY 2022/23. During FY 2020/21, the City awarded $2.8 million to the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project that is currently underway. The City, in partnership with Jamboree Housing Corporation, will develop the site at 18431 Beach Boulevard with 42 one-bedroom/one-bath units and one two-bedroom/one-bath managers'unit,ground-level and subterranean parking, conference/office rooms and lounge areas for residents, and outdoor amenities such as a courtyard and a dog park. When complete, the project will offer nine units with HOME- restricted rents, along with 21 units restricted to Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) eligible individuals experiencing homelessness, and 12 to non-MHSA senior households experiencing homelessness. 2022/23 CAPER 9 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Public service allocations amounted to the maximum allowable under CDBG regulations (15 percent of the annual allocation). The City allocated $85,00o to the Children's Bureau after school program; $14,652 to StandUp for Kids Street Outreach; $35,519 to Senior Services Care Management; and $41,708 to the Navigation Center Operations Program. In the Support Agencies that Assist Special Needs Populations goal, the City proposed to assist 140 persons, but exceeded that goal by 264 percent(37o persons). Success in this area can be attributed to the Senior Services Care Management Program that continues to provide meals and other services to many of Huntington Beach's elderly community. In its goal to Support Efforts to Address Homelessness, the City assisted 28 of the 33 persons proposed. This was through the Navigation Center Operations and the StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Programs, but this goal did not account for the ongoing CDBG-CV funding the City is giving to the Navigation Center for operational support.With this investment in homeless services, an additional 428 homeless persons were assisted last fiscal year. Finally,under the goal, Increase Access to Community Services to Low- and Moderate-Income Persons, the Children's Bureau exceeded their goal of 200 by assisting 253 children with free after school childcare in the Oak View neighborhood. Lastly,.the City also exceeded its code enforcement goal of inspecting 60o housing units for local health and safety compliance by over zoo percent. As a reminder, results will vary from year to year depending on when they are funded and when they are completed. Generally, affordable housing, public facility, and public infrastructure projects span multiple years. The accomplishments for projects and programs that have been funded in FY 2022/23 or sooner and are currently underway will be included in the CAPER once the national objective has been met at project completion. 2022/23 CAPER 10 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-io - Racial and Ethnic Composition of Families Assisted Describe the families assisted (including the racial and ethnic status of families assisted).

HOME funds were invested in tenant-based rental assistance for homeless persons, victims of domestic violence, veterans, and owners of mobile homes. Majority of beneficiaries of the TBRA programs were White at 8o% and 48% were of Hispanic ethnicity. Those identifying as Black or African American made up 9% of HOME program recipients, and Asians made up 7%. Similarly, CDBG-funded activities benefitted 87% persons who identified as White, nearly 4% were Asian, and nearly 34% of persons identified as having a Hispanic ethnicity regardless of race. 2022/23 CAPER 11 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-15 - Resources and Investments Identify the resources made available Resources Made Amount Expended Source of Funds Source Available During Program Year CDBG public-federal $1,381,249 $1,o67,133 HOME public-federal $1,485,331 $3,084,150 CDBG-CV Public-federal $o $1,628,957 HOME-ARP Public-Federal $2,240,675 $o Table 3-Resources Made Available Narrative During FY 2022/23, the City had over $5,107,255 million in new Federal CDBG, HOME, and American Rescue Act HOME(HOME-ARP) Funds to address the goals and objectives of the FY 2022/23 Annual Action Plan.

CDBG expenditures of $1,067,133 included projects and programs approved in FY 2022/23 and earlier which included public services, code enforcement, homeowner rehabilitation, housing services, fair housing activities, and program administration. Additionally,a total of$3,084,150 in HOME expenditures was disbursed.The majority of these funds were spent on prior year project commitments, such as the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project ($2,830,598), HOME Administration ($73,887), and prior year tenant based rental assistance ($92,558). Only $87,106 of all HOME disbursements were for 2022/23 activities.The City also disbursed $1,628,957 in CDBG-CV funds during the program year,which were all related to the Navigation Center.

Projects that fall into the Low- and Moderate-Income Areas geographical area typically include public facility or public infrastructure activities, but in FY 2022/23, no such projects were implemented. Approximately 7 percent of expended funds were on code enforcement which only took place in a local target area called the Special Code Enforcement Area.The target area was developed pursuant to HUD requirements. The City conducted a visual (windshield) survey of CDBG eligible areas for properties, businesses, parkways, alleys, and structures that met the City's definition of "deteriorated or deteriorating". 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. This target area was later named the "Special Code Enforcement Target Area."

The City is required to provide a 25 percent match for HOME funds drawn down on all HOME activities, sans those funded with program income or administrative funds.The City leverages resources among the formula grant programs. Historically,the City has met the HOME match by layering former redevelopment tax increment with HOME-assisted affordable housing acquisition and rehabilitation. As a result of past leveraging contributions toward affordable housing activities, the City has a surplus of match credits. The match carry-over surplus from prior years was $3,753,787. The City's HOME match liability for FY 2022/23 was $525,784.21; however, as part of the flexibilities/waivers granted by the CARES Act and Mega Waiver, Huntington Beach was not required to provide a match liability for the period of October 1, 2020, through September 30, 2022 anyway.The excess match of$3,753,787 will,therefore, be carried over to the next fiscal year.

The City allocated almost $1 million in HOME funds for the operation of three tenant based rental assistance programs.The first program was operated by Mercy House who offered the program to homeless and those at risk of homelessness. Mercy House had a goal to assist 22 households, but enrolled 15 households into the program. The program will continue in FY 2023/24. 2022/23 CAPER 19 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) The second TBRA program was administered by Families First. Households must have a child to be eligible for assistance. During FY 2022/23, 18 households enrolled in the program, which was three more than the proposed goal of three.The program will continue in FY 2023124. Finally, at the end of the fiscal year,the City added a third TBRA program to the city's housing program.The Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program was allocated $391,654 in HOME funds and is offered to owners of mobile homes for help with rising space rents. In one quarter(April —June 2023), the City enrolled 23 households for 24 months of space rent assistance.This was 7 households shy of the goal of 3o. While not included in the goals for 2022/23, the City is still underway on a 43-unit senior affordable housing project at 18431 Beach Boulevard called the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Apartments.The project was awarded $2.8 million in HOME funds in FY 2020/21.The newly constructed project targeting households with incomes between 3o-5o percent of Area Median Income(AMI)will be partially subsidized with approximately$io million from Orange County Housing Authority Project Based Vouchers (PBV). Of the 33 PBV units, 21 will be restricted to Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) eligible individuals experiencing homelessness earning at or below 3o percent AMI. Twelve PBV units will be used for non- MHSA senior households experiencing homelessness earning at or below 3o percent AMI.The remaining nine units will be HOME-restricted to households with incomes at or below 50 percent AMI.The completed Project will consist of a 4-story building constructed above a one level subterranean parking garage.The Project unit mix consists of 42 one-bedroom units and one additional two-bedroom unit designated for on-site management. Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans. The Huntington Beach 202o/2i-2024/25 Consolidated Plan forecasts that 20 housing units could be developed by way of acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction by the expiration of the Plan. The Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project, when complete, will satisfy nearly half of the 5-year goal. With this in mind, the City will continue to pursue additional affordable housing development opportunities to create eleven additional units by the end of 2024/25. Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity. 2022/23 CAPER 20 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Number of Households Served CDBG Actual HOME Actual TOTAL Extremely Low-income 37 34 71 Low-income 24 21 45 Moderate-income 5 1 6 Total 66 56 122 Table 13-Number of Households Served Narrative Information During the program year, Huntington Beach had the following housing accomplishments where information on income by family size was required to determine eligibility of the activities: • 10 single-family residential rehabilitation grant and loan projects were completed. • The City provided 56 households with housing services in connection with the HOME- funded tenant based rental assistance program. • The City provided 56 households with tenant based rental assistance during the year. 2022/23 CAPER 21 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs Evaluate the jurisdiction's progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through: Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs 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, de- institutionalization of the mentally ill, and an increase of persons making homelessness a lifestyle choice. At the county level, Orange County undertakes an effort to enumerate all of the sheltered and unsheltered homeless people within the County in a given twenty-four-hour period. This effort, known as the Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, is congressionally mandated for all communities that receive HUD funding for homeless programs and takes place once every two years. The most recent complete PIT in Orange County was held on a single night in 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. In an effort to reach out to Huntington Beach's homeless community, the Police Department heads a Homeless Task Force comprised of case managers and homeless liaison officers that make proactive contacts, even when no crime was committed and no call for services was generated. This endeavor was 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. In FY 2022/23, the Task Force offered the following services: case management, shelter, reunification with family members, mental and physical health services, addiction services, social services, and government benefits. The Homeless Task Force has historically been funded with CDBG and was allocated $50,00o in CDBG public service funds in FY 2021/22; however,funding was shifted to the General Fund during the year and the program was canceled from the City's Annual Action Plan. 2022/23 CAPER 22 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) The City's Community Development Department also made diligent efforts to reach out to and assess the needs of homeless people. In particular, CDBG funding was awarded to the Navigation Center for operational support and to StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Program. The Navigation Center opened its doors in December 2020 and is located at 17642 Beach Boulevard. In addition to providing 174 beds for overnight shelter,the Center provides direct access to vital services that will help individuals experiencing homelessness on the path towards housing security. All persons seeking assistance at the Navigation Center are first assessed by the City's Homeless Task Force. Ten homeless persons were provided support during the fiscal year with the investment of CDBG public service funds. Another 428 were also supported through the City's CDBG-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV)funding that was awarded in prior years. Similarly, StandUp for Kids aims to end the cycle of homelessness, specifically for Huntington Beach's unhoused youth population. The subrecipient uses volunteer staff to scout streets searching for youth who appear to be unsheltered or unstably housed. Youth assisted by StandUp for Kids fall between the ages of 12 and 24, are homeless, at-risk of homelessness, aging-out of foster care, or are runaways. StandUp for Kids works to equip them with the tools they need to transition from life on the street to a life of stability and opportunity. During the program year, Stand Up for Kids assisted 18 youth with their homeless services. Finally, using non-federal funding, the City developed a new program, Be Well Huntington Beach, a Mobile Crisis Response Team offering 24/7 community-based assessment and stabilization of individuals experiencing psychological crisis, challenges related to substance abuse, and other non-medical emergency challenges. Each team consists of two crisis counselors who deescalate a situation and provide a compassionate response to those experiencing a mental health crisis in their homes, on the streets, or at a public location.Since inception of the program in August 2021, Be Well HB has handled 6,007 calls for service including: • 3,993 calls related to mental health checks • 1,568 proactive engagements • 312 substance use cases • 133 public disturbances The City is carefully gathering data to measure program outcomes and impacts on mental health issues in Huntington Beach. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons 2022/23 CAPER 23 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) In FY 2020/21, the City partnered with Mercy House to start operations on the Navigation Center,an emergency homeless shelter,which received funding from CDBG,CDBG-CV(CARES Act funding for activities that prevent, prepare, and respond to COVID-19), and local SB2 funding. The Navigation Center opened its doors in December 2020. The Center has the capacity to shelter up to 174 adults and couples during normal conditions. In FY 2022/23, the City awarded $41,708 in CDBG funding to the Navigation Center to be used for operations and as a result, 10 persons received emergency shelter there. An additional 428 persons also received emergency shelter last year under the nearly $3 million contract from FY 2020/21. 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 , provides 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, HB Oasis will provide property management, residential and supportive services that meet the complex needs of people experiencing homelessness. HB Oasis will provide 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.The City anticipates converting HB Oasis from interim housing to permanent housing (supported by project based vouchers)during FY 2023/24. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care(such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health,social services, employment,education,or youth needs To help prevent homelessness and protect at-risk populations, Huntington Beach participated in the Orange County Continuum of Care System that provides assistance to persons at risk of becoming homeless. Additionally, the City continued its dedication to assisting families in Huntington Beach with much needed rental assistance. In FY 2022/23, the City awarded $296,642 to Mercy House, $302,755 to Families Forward, and $391,654 to the Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental 2022/23 CAPER 24 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Assistance programs to income eligible households experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, veterans, victims of domestic violence, and mobile homeowners. The three programs cumulatively assisted 56 households during the year. The City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding and therefore is not required to develop a discharge coordination policy. However,the City will continue to address a discharge coordination policy with the Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force. 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 focused on the development of sustainable and effective programming, including: 1) applying for short and long-term available funding; 2) partnering with experienced service providers capable of leveraging other funding; 3) creating or securing affordable housing;4)performing homeless case management; and 5)engaging the homeless through a street outreach component in order to better connect them to available services. For example,as mentioned above,the City in 2023 converted the former Quality Inn Hotel into transitional housing / non-congregate shelter with 62 units. The Huntington Beach Oasis provides wrap around supportive services to aid homeless persons in making the transition to permanent housing and independent living. Services will assist with mental and/or physical health issues, substance use problems,trauma or abuse, lack of employment, or contact with the criminal justice system. Supportive services that address these and many other issues are key in assisting any individual experiencing homelessness. These services will continue to be offered at the Navigation Center, as well. With over $3 million in CDBG and CDBG-CV funding, and another $386,00o in HOME-ARP, the emergency homeless shelter will be able to provide wrap around services to help homeless individuals transition to more stable housing upon exiting the shelter. 2022/23 CAPER 25 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Finally,the City provided tenant-based rental assistance to qualified households in FY 2022/23. The need for rental subsidies continues to be a priority for the City, and in November 2022, the City renewed contracts with both Mercy House and Families Forward to continue the operation of their tenant based rental assistance programs.In February,the City signed a new contract for the delivery of tenant-based rental assistance to owners of mobile homes. In FY 2022/23, 56 households received rental assistance. 2022/23 CAPER 26 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-3o - Public Housing Actions taken to address the needs of public housing The City of Huntington Beach does not have any public housing developments. However, Huntington Beach 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. A total of 627 Huntington Beach households receive Section 8 vouchers from the OCHA including 144 families, 102 disabled, and 381 elderly households. Additionally,the OCHA administers 3o Continuum of Care,17 Family Self-Sufficiency,20 Family Unification,two Non-Elderly Disabled,104 Portability, 81 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing, and 3o Emergency Housing Vouchers. The OCHA waiting list is currently closed. Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership Not applicable. Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs Not applicable. 2022/23 CAPER 27 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-35 - Other Actions Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs, every effort is made to remove barriers to affordable housing through agreements with for-profit and non-profit affordable housing developers. These efforts also include working with neighborhood residents to ensure affordable housing projects are acceptable. Ongoing monitoring of both "for sale" and rental affordable units is conducted by department staff by assuring that the affordable housing covenants are recorded on title when the unit is sold. To address the decline in sources of housing funds,the City will continue to advocate for and pursue federal,state,local and private funding sources for affordable housing. Also, City staff continued 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 zo 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 113. 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 2022/23 CAPER 28 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) goal is to assist in the acquisition/rehabilitation of a minimum of 30 units across all income levels with a focus on housing available at the very low-and low-income levels over the planning period.

The City will identify development partners and coordinate with the County of Orange on joint applications for funding for the two other sites identified in the Hotel/Motel Conversion Overlay during the planning period. Actions taken 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 continued to seek other resources and funding sources to address the biggest obstacle to meeting the community's underserved needs, which is the lack of, and/or, inadequate funding. • The City looked for innovative and creative ways to make its delivery systems more comprehensive and continued existing partnerships with both for-profit and not-f or- profit organizations. • The City used HOME and CDBG funds to concentrate on both affordable rental housing,tenant-based rental housing, and homeowner rehabilitation programs. • The City addressed certain housing needs with federal funds such as availability, condition, and fair housing practices to prevent homelessness. • The City also addressed community development needs with federal funds such as infrastructure, improving public facilities and code enforcement. • The City is working with surrounding jurisdictions on a regional approach to meeting the underserved needs. Actions taken 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: 2022/23 CAPER 32 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) • 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 Housing Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Affordable Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for rehabilitation are tested if not statutorily exempt. Elimination or encapsulation remedies are implemented if lead is detected and is paid for by either the developer of the project, or with CDBG or HOME funds, as appropriate. To reduce lead-based paint hazards in existing housing, all housing rehabilitation projects supported with federal funds are tested for lead and asbestos. When a lead-based paint hazard is present, the City or the City's sub-grantee contracts with a lead consultant for abatement or implementation of interim controls, based on the findings of the report. Tenants are notified of the results of the test and the clearance report. In Section 8 programs, staff annually inspects units on the existing program 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 taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals established in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan-Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan helped to reduce the number of poverty-level families by: • Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households. • Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness. • Supporting housing preservation programs that ensure low-income households have a safe, decent and appropriate place to live; and • Supporting public services through various nonprofits funded by CDBG that serve the community's youth,seniors,families and those with special needs. 2022/23 CAPER 33 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) In addition to these efforts, the City's anti-poverty strategy seeks to enhance the employability of residents through the promotion and support of programs which provide employment training and supportive services, while expanding employment opportunities through the implementation of the Downtown Business Improvement District and the Tourism Business Improvement District, and its Economic Development Strategy. The purpose of the Strategy is to identify the highest priority economic development objectives in Huntington Beach, and to set goals, policies and recommended actions that will set the framework for economic decisions. The Strategy contains a diverse range of core objectives and goals to"Enhance Economic Development" and"Improve Financial Stability."Overall,the Economic Development Strategy provides a road map to increase the overall community wealth and prosperity of the residents and businesses in the City. Next, the City of Huntington Beach supported a variety of economic development activities that helped to create and retain jobs for low- and moderate-income households. Activities supported include access to Surf City Locator, a free property listing and demographics website that is available 24/7 and is fed directly through the largest and most up-to-date commercial and industrial listing service in Southern California. Each listing is connected to a world of helpful community demographic data, retail potential, heat maps, zoning information, labor market&talent pool details, and more. The City fully complied with Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act,which helps foster local economic development and individual self-sufficiency. This set of regulations require that to the greatest extent feasible, the City will provide job training, employment, and contracting opportunities for low or very low-income residents in connection with housing and public construction projects. Actions taken to develop institutional structure. As the recipient of federal CDBG, HOME, CDBG-CV, and HOME-ARP funds, the City delegated the Community Development Department to be the lead department responsible for the overall administration of HUD grants. In that regard, the Department prepared the Consolidated Plan and the Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, drafted the Annual Action Plan, CAPER, and HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, as well as all other reports required by federal rules and regulations. The City has worked with non-profit agencies,for-profit developers, advocacy groups, clubs, organizations, neighborhood leadership groups, City departments, the private sector, and other government entities to implement the City's five-year strategy to address the priority 2022/23 CAPER 34 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2020/21 — 2024/25. Engaging the community and stakeholders in the delivery of services and programs for the benefit of low to moderate residents has been vital in overcoming gaps in service delivery. The City also utilized public notices, Community Workshops and Meetings (as appropriate), the City's website, and other forms of media to deliver information on carrying out the Consolidated Plan strategies. Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. In an ongoing effort to bridge the gap of various programs and activities, the City developed partnerships and collaborations with local service providers and City departments that have been instrumental in meeting the needs and demands of the homeless, low-income individuals and families, and other special needs. The array of partners includes but is not limited to the Huntington Beach Police Department, Library Services, Community Services, and Public Works Departments,American Family Housing, National CORE,Jamboree Housing Corporation, Habitat for Humanity, Interval House, Mercy House, Families Forward, Collete's Children's Home, AMCAL, Community SeniorServ, Project Self Sufficiency, the Fair Housing Foundation, the Orange County Housing Authority, and 2-1-1 Orange County and OC Community Services (Orange County Continuum of Care). Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. In May zozo, Huntington Beach, along with zo other Orange County cities, the County of Orange,and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law,developed the Orange County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. The Al outlined fair housing priorities and goals to overcome fair housing issues. In addition,the AI laid out meaningful strategies to be implemented to achieve progress towards the County's obligation to affirmatively further fair housing.The 2020-2024 Al identified these goals: 1. Increase the supply of affordable housing in high opportunity areas. 2. Prevent displacement of low- and moderate-income residents with protected characteristics, including Hispanic residents, Vietnamese residents, seniors, and people with disabilities. 3. Increase community integration for persons with disabilities. 4. Ensure equal access to housing for persons with protected characteristics, who are disproportionately likely to be lower-income and to experience homelessness. 5. Expand access to opportunity for protected classes. 2022/23 CAPER 35 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) In FY 2020/21, the City of Huntington Beach negotiated the terms of a 43-unit affordable housing development for seniors located at 18431 Beach Boulevard. The project, known as Jamboree's Huntington Beach Seniors Project, is a collaborative effort between the City and Jamboree Housing Corporation and seeks to accomplish several of the goals listed above.The project will increase the supply of affordable housing, will integrate persons with disabilities into the project,will ensure equal access to housing for persons with protected characteristics (seniors), and expands access to opportunity for protected classes. The project is currently underway. The City also invested over$1.5 million in tenant based rental assistance using HOME funding since July 2020 and has prevented displacement of nearly 150 lower income Huntington Beach households to date. The City also ensured equal access to housing and expanded access to opportunities for persons with protected characteristics through the work of their contractor,the Fair Housing Foundation (FHF). The FHF provided the following services to affirmatively further fair housing: Landlord/Tenant Services In partnership with the FHF, the City conducted a multi-faceted fair housing program to Huntington Beach tenants, landlords, property owners, realtors, and property management companies.The program included counseling these parties on their rights and responsibilities to determine if any fair housing violations occurred. In FY 2022/23, the FHF provided 405 unduplicated households with these direct client services,75%of which were of extremely low or low-income.Most,of the calls(87%)were from in-place tenants with questions ranging from habitability, rent increases, evictions, and notices to name a few. Additionally, FHF continued to provide investigation and response to allegations of illegal housing discrimination. Out of 53 allegations of discrimination, seven resulted in a case being opened for further investigation, and 46 were resolved. The top allegations had to do with physical disability, mental disability,gender, and source of income. Education and Outreach Activities The FHF also provided a comprehensive, extensive, and viable education and outreach program.The purpose of this program was to educate managers,tenants, landlords, owners, realtors, and property management companies on fair housing laws, to promote media and consumer interest, and to secure grass roots involvement within communities. FHF 2022/23 CAPER 36 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) specifically aimed their outreach to persons and protected classes that were most likely to encounter housing discrimination. FHF conducted regularly scheduled "All Area Activities" that directly benefited residents of Huntington Beach. In FY 2022/23, 427 individuals were assisted within city limits. The FHF participated in many community relations events including making contact with eight agencies to discuss fair housing;manned two booths during the year;attended six community meetings; made eight agency and community presentations; held eight workshops and walk- in clinics on fair housing; and distributed 6,603 pieces of literature in Huntington Beach. Finally, the City worked to enhance access to services and housing for residents with limited English proficiency. For the federal CDBG program, the City offered to make public notices available in English and Spanish, and ensured translators were available at public meetings, if requested. 2022/23 CAPER 37 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-40 - Monitoring Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements The City follows monitoring procedures for subrecipients,which includes a thorough in-house review of quarterly progress reports and expenditures, and an annual desk or on-site visit to ensure compliance with federal regulations. The monitoring system encourages uniform reporting to achieve consistent information on beneficiaries.Technical assistance is provided throughout the program year on an as-needed basis. Formal monitoring of multiple public service agreements with 2022/23 subrecipients was performed by desk review during the program year. Monitoring of FY 2022/23 subrecipients will be conducted in FY 2023124. The City also performs project monitoring of all rent restricted affordable units assisted with HOME, CDBG, and the former Redevelopment Agency Housing Set-Aside Funds, and in accordance with 24 CFR 92.504 (d): • Annual audits for compliance with regulatory agreement affordability covenants; and • On site visits, which include property inspections of randomly selected units assisted with HOME, CDBG, and former Redevelopment Agency Housing Set-Aside Funds. In addition, the City encouraged minority business outreach in all of its federally assisted (CDBG and HOME) construction work in excess of $2,000. As part of the Notice Inviting Bid procedures, the City requires subrecipients undertaking improvements, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of community and private facilities, infrastructure projects, and affordable housing developments to make a good faith effort to hire women or minority-based businesses and to require equal employment opportunity for all individuals and business concerns.

This must mean one of two things: 1.)The city is dropping(or settling) its foolish lawsuit against the state and truly working to adopt a Housing Element. If so,congratulations! Or 2.)We're going to lie to HUD about our progress to gain federal funds,essentially holding the poor, elderly, disabled and homeless in the city hostage while continuing our lawsuit. If the second option is true, I urge the City Council to seek the City Attorney's evaluation of fines and other penalties the city could face if they move forward in this manner,and for this evaluation to be made public so that citizens understand the consequences of this path.

The city staff has done an exemplary job using those funds as efficiently as possible. Knowing that the Navigation Center is here and is staffed with people that are compassionate and understanding helps keep Huntington Beach a wonderful place to live. I want to thank the Council Members who have done the work to increase access to the federal and state funds that support the Navigation Center being built and its continued ability to provide services in our community. Until the affordability problem is solved (wages increased and housing prices stabilized),we will most certainly need more services at the Navigation Center and we should be sure it is functioning at its best.

The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, implements projects and also awards grants to nonprofit, for-profit, or public organizations for projects in furtherance of the adopted Consolidated Plan.The CDBG and HOME programs generally provide for a range of eligible activities for the benefit of low-and moderate-income Huntington Beach residents. The CAPER discusses affordable housing outcomes, homelessness and special needs activities, non-housing community development activities, and other actions in furtherance of the City's Annual Action Plan projects and programs for Fiscal Year(FY) 2022/23 (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023). For the 2022/23 fiscal year, the City received $1,179,193 of CDBG funds from HUD, which were combined in the Action Plan with $173,198 of unexpended CDBG funds from prior years, and $28,858 in program income receipts for a total investment of $1,381,249. In HOME funding, the City was awarded $676,539, coupled with $661,607 in prior year unspent funds, and new program income received in the amount of $147,185, made $1,485,331 available for the fiscal year. This investment of CDBG and HOME funds was a catalyst for positive change in the community.Together with other federal, state and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City and its partners to: • Provide fair housing services to 405 residents. • Provide homelessness prevention and assistance services to 456 residents. • Provide special needs services such as senior services to 370 residents. • Provide public services to 253 children. • Provide tenant-based rental assistance and housing operation services to 56 eligible households. • Provide 10 homeowners with assistance in the form of grants and loans to make significant housing repairs and improvements. In 2020,the City received a special allocation of Coronavirus Aid, Relief,and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) funding in the amount of $2,159,775 to be used on activities that prevent, 2022/23 CAPER 1 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) prepare for, or respond to the impacts of COVID-19.The City Council allocated the majority of those funds, $2,028,847, to the Navigation Center with only $130,928 allocated to program administration. To date, the Navigation Center has provided overnight shelter and wraparound services to 893 homeless persons. Finally, in 2021, HUD allocated $2,240,675 in another special allocation of funding to the City of Huntington Beach. The HOME-American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP) provides funding to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability. Thus far, the City of Huntington Beach has received HUD approval on the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan that proposes to allocate$2,190,675 for supportive services at the Navigation Center and the City's Project Homekey development, HB Oasis Project.

Consistent with the City's Priority Needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan, the City allocated majority of its CDBG funding to non-housing community development activities (code enforcement and public services), preceded by the community's housing needs and program administration funded by both CDBG and HOME. The City's Priority Needs are a product of the Needs Assessment, Housing Market Analysis, public input, and community needs survey - all conducted during the development of the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan's five-year priorities for assistance with CDBG and HOME funds also takes into consideration several factors such as: 1) those households most in need of housing and community development assistance, as determined through the Consolidated Plan needs assessment, consultation, and public participation process; 2)which activities will best meet the needs of those identified households; and 3) the extent of other non-federal resources that can be utilized to leverage/match CDBG and-HOME funds to address these needs. Overall,the approved projects and programs in the FY 2622/23 Annual Action Plan assisted as many participants as possible with limited resources available. In the area of affordable housing,the City funded homeowner rehabilitation and tenant based rental assistance. In FY 2022/23, the City's goal was to fund and complete a total of eight rehabilitation projects over the course of the year'andthe City exceeded this goal by completing ten. The City also funded three tenant based rental-assistance programs including one for mobile home occupants that need assistance with space rents. Collectively,-the City had a goal of assisting 67 households, however, only 84% of the goal was met. The programs have continued into FY 2023/24, in which it'is anticipated that approximately 4o additional households will be served using FY 2022/23 HOME funds for tenant based rental assistance. The City did not have any new goals for the development of affordable housing in FY 2022/23. During FY 2020/21, the City'awarded $2.8 million to the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project that is currently underway. The City, in partnership with Jamboree Housing Corporation, will develop the site at 18431 Beach Boulevard with 42 one-bedroom/one-bath units and one two-bedroom/one-bath managers'unit,ground-level and subterranean parking, conference/office rooms and lounge areas for residents, and outdoor amenities such as a courtyard and a dog park. When complete, the project will offer nine units with HOME- restricted rents, along with 21 units restricted to Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) eligible individuals experiencing homelessness, and 12 to non-MHSA senior households experiencing homelessness. 2022/23 CAPER 9 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Public service allocations amounted to the maximum allowable under CDBG regulations (15 percent of the annual allocation). The City allocated $85,00o to the Children's Bureau after school program; $14,652 to StandUp for Kids Street Outreach; $35,519 to Senior Services Care Management; and $41,708 to the Navigation Center Operations Program. In the Support Agencies that Assist Special Needs Populations goal, the City proposed to assist 140 persons, but exceeded that goal by 264 percent(37o persons). Success in this area can be attributed to the Senior Services Care Management'Program that continues to provide meals and other services to many of Huntington Beach's elderly community. In its goal to Support Efforts to Address Homelessness, the City assisted 28 of the 33 persons proposed. This was through the Navigation Center Operations and the StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Programs, but this goal did not account for the ongoing CDBG-CV funding the City is giving to the Navigation Center for operational support.With this investment in homeless services, an additional 428 homeless persons wereassisted last fiscal year. Finally,under the goal, Increase Access to Community Services to Low- and Moderate-Income Persons, the Children's Bureau exceeded their goal of zoo by assisting 253 children with free after school childcare in the Oak View neighborhood. Lastly, the City also exceeded its'code enforcement goal of inspecting 60o housing units for local health and safety compliance by over 200 percent. As a reminder, results will,vary from year to'year depending on when they are funded and when they. are completed. Generally, affordable housing, public facility, and public infrastructure projects span multiple years. The accomplishments for projects and programs that have been funded in FY 2022/23 or sooner and are currently underway will be included in the CAPER once the national objective has been met at project completion. 2022/23 CAPER 10 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-io - Racial and Ethnic Composition of Families Assisted Describe the families assisted (including the racial and ethnic status of families assisted).

HOME funds were invested in tenant-based rental assistance for homeless persons, victims of domestic violence, veterans, and owners of mobile homes. Majority of beneficiaries of the TBRA programs were White at 8o% and 48% were of Hispanic ethnicity. Those identifying as Black or African American made up 9% of HOME program recipients, and Asians made up 7%. Similarly, CDBG-funded activities benefitted 87% persons who identified as White, nearly 4% were Asian, and nearly 34% of persons identified as having a Hispanic ethnicity regardless of race. 2022/23 CAPER 11 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-15 - Resources and Investments Identify the resources made available Resources Made Amount Expended Source of Funds Source Available During Program Year CDBG public-federal $1,381,249 $1,067,033 HOME public-federal $1,485,331 $3,o84,150 CDBG-CV Public-federal $o $0,628,957 HOME-ARP Public-Federal $2,240,675 $o Table 3-Resources Made Available Narrative During FY 2022/23, the City had over $5007,255 million in new Federal CDBG, HOME, and American Rescue Act HOME(HOME-ARP) Funds to address the goals and objectives of the FY 2022/23 Annual Action Plan. Specifically, the CDBG entitlement amount for FY 2022/23 was $1,179,093. Prior year unspent funds were $173,198 (includes both entitlement and program income), new program income receipts totaled $28,858, resulting in a total of $1,381,249 in CDBG. HOME funding for FY 2022/23 was $676,539 in entitlement funds, $147,185 in receipted program income, and $661,607 in uncommitted prior year funds. No new CARES Act funding was made available in FY 2022/23; all funds awarded to the City to help the prevent, prepare, and respond to the Novel Coronavirus, were awarded and committed in 2020/21. Lastly, the City received its HOME-ARP allocation of$2,240,675 in FY 2022/23. HOME-ARP funds are used prevent homelessness and reduce housing instability. Expenditures during the 2022/23 program year totaled $5,780,240 from federal resources and program income which addressed the needs of extremely, low, and moderate-income persons. CDBG expenditures of $1,067,133 included projects and programs approved in FY 2022/23 and earlier which included public services, code enforcement, homeowner rehabilitation, housing services, fair housing activities, and program administration. Additionally,a total of$3,084,150 in HOME expenditures was disbursed.The majority of these funds were spent on prior year project commitments, such as the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project ($2,830,598), HOME Administration ($73,887), and prior year tenant based rental assistance ($92,558). Only $87,106 of all HOME disbursements were for 2022/23 activities.The City also disbursed $1,628,957 in CDBG-CV funds during the program year,which were all related to the Navigation Center. No funds were expended from HOME-ARP funding. 2022/23 CAPER 12 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Identify the geographic distribution and location of investments Planned Percentage of Actual Percentage Target Area Allocation of Allocation Narrative Description Citywide 92 93 Citywide Low-and Moderate-Income Low-and Moderate- Areas Income Areas Special Code Enforcement 8 7 Local Target Area Target Area Table 4-Identify the geographic distribution and location of investments Narrative Most funds expended in FY 2022/23 were for projects and programs available on a citywide basis, including all public services, homeowner rehabilitation, housing services, and administrative activities. Projects that fall into the Low- and Moderate-Income Areas geographical area typically include public facility or public infrastructure activities, but in FY 2022/23, no such projects were implemented. Approximately 7 percent of expended funds were on code enforcement which only took place in a local target area called the Special Code Enforcement Area.The target area was developed pursuant to HUD requirements. The City conducted a visual (windshield) survey of CDBG eligible areas for properties, businesses, parkways, alleys, and structures that met the City's definition of "deteriorated or deteriorating". 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. This target area was later named 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. Note, the `Actual Percentage of Allocation' figures are based on CDBG and HOME resources only; not HOME-ARP funds. 2022/23 CAPER 13 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) SPECIAL CODE ENFORCEMENT TARGET AREA TOTAL POPULATION V.

The City is required to provide a 25 percent match for HOME funds drawn down on all HOME activities,sans those funded with program income or administrative funds.The City leverages resources among the formula grant programs. Historically,the City has met the HOME match by layering former redevelopment tax increment with HOME-assisted affordable housing acquisition and rehabilitation. As a result of past leveraging contributions toward affordable housing activities, the City has a surplus of match credits. The match carry-over surplus from prior years was $3,753,787. The City's HOME match liability for FY 2022/23 was $525,784.21; however, as part of the flexibilities/waivers granted by the CARES Act and Mega Waiver, Huntington Beach was not required to provide a match liability for the period of October i, 2020, through September 3o, 2022 anyway.The excess match of$3,753,787 will,therefore, be carried over to the next fiscal year.

The City allocated almost $1 million in HOME funds for the operation of three tenant based rental assistance programs.The first program was operated by Mercy House who offered the program to homeless and those at risk of homelessness. Mercy House had a goal to assist 22 households, but enrolled 15 households into the program. The program will continue in FY 2023/24. 2022/23 CAPER 19 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) The second TBRA program was administered by Families First. Households must have a child to be eligible for assistance. During FY 2022/23, 18 households enrolled in the program, which was three more than the proposed goal of three.The program will continue in FY 2023/24. Finally, at the end of the fiscal year,the City added a third TBRA program to the city's housing program.The Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program was allocated $391,654 in HOME funds and is offered to owners of mobile homes for help with rising space rents. In one quarter(April —June 2023), the City enrolled 23 households for 24 months of space rent assistance.This was 7 households shy of the goal of 3o. While not included in the goals for 2022/23, the City is still underway on a 43-unit senior affordable housing project at 18431 Beach Boulevard called the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Apartments.The project was awarded $2.8 million in HOME funds in FY 2020/21.The newly constructed project targeting households with incomes between 30-50 percent of Area Median Income(AMI)will be partially subsidized with approximately$10 million from Orange County Housing Authority Project Based Vouchers (PBV).'Of the 33 PBV units, 21 will be restricted to Mental Health Services' Act (MHSA)' eligible individuals experiencing homelessness earning at or below 30 'percent AMI. Twelve PBV units will be used for non- MHSA senior households experiencing homelessness earning at or below 3o percent AMI.The remaining nine units will be HOME-restricted to 'households with incomes at or below 5o percent AMI.The completed Project will consist of a 4-story building constructed above a one level subterranean parking garage.The Project unit mix consists of 42 one-bedroom units and one additional two-bedroom unit designated for on-site management. Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans. The Huntington Beach 202o/21-2024125 Consolidated Plan forecasts that 20 housing units could be developed by way of acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction by the expiration of the Plan. The Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project, when complete, will satisfy nearly half of,the 5-year goal. With this in mind, the City will continue to pursue additional affordable housing development opportunities to create eleven additional units by the end of 2024/25. Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity. 2022/23 CAPER 20 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Number of Households Served CDBG Actual HOME Actual TOTAL Extremely Low-income 37 34 71 Low-income 24 21 45 Moderate-income 5 1 6 Total 66 56 122 Table 13-Number of Households Served Narrative Information During the program year, Huntington Beach had the following housing accomplishments where information on income by family size was required to determine eligibility of the activities: • to single-family residential rehabilitation grant and loan projects were completed. • The City provided 56 households with housing services in connection with the HOME- funded tenant based rental assistance program. • The City provided 56 households with tenant based rental assistance during the year. 2022/23 CAPER 21 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs Evaluate the jurisdiction's progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through: Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs 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, de- institutionalization of the mentally ill, and an increase of persons making homelessness a lifestyle choice. At the county level, Orange County undertakes an effort to enumerate all of the sheltered and unsheltered homeless people within the County in a given twenty-four-hour period. This effort, known as the Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, is congressionally mandated for all communities that receive HUD funding for homeless programs and takes place once every two years. The most recent complete PIT in Orange County was held on a single night in 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. In an effort to reach out to Huntington Beach's homeless community,the Police Department heads a Homeless Task Force comprised of case managers and homeless liaison officers that make proactive contacts, even when no crime was committed and no call for services was generated. This endeavor was 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. In FY 2022/23, the Task Force offered the following services: case management, shelter, reunification with family members, mental and physical health services, addiction services, social services, and government benefits. The Homeless Task Force has historically been funded with CDBG and was allocated $50,00o in CDBG public service funds in FY 2021/22; however,funding was shifted to the General Fund during the year and the program was canceled from the City's Annual Action Plan. 2022/23 CAPER 22 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) The City's Community Development Department also made diligent efforts to reach out to and assess the needs of homeless people. In particular, CDBG funding was awarded to the Navigation Center for operational support and to StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Program. The Navigation Center opened its doors in December 2020 and is located at 17642 Beach Boulevard. In addition to providing 174 beds for overnight shelter,the Center provides direct access to vital services that will help individuals experiencing homelessness on the path towards housing security. All persons seeking assistance at the Navigation Center are first assessed by the City's Homeless Task Force. Ten homeless persons were provided support during the fiscal year with the investment of CDBG public service funds. Another 428 were also supported through the City's CDBG-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV)funding that was awarded in prior years. Similarly, StandUp for Kids aims to end the cycle of homelessness, specifically for Huntington Beach's unhoused youth population. The subrecipient uses volunteer staff to scout streets searching for youth who appear to be unsheltered or unstably housed. Youth assisted by StandUp for Kids fall between the ages of 12 and 24, are homeless, at-risk of homelessness, aging-out of foster care, or are runaways. StandUp for`Kids works to equip them with the tools they need to transition from life on the street to a life of stability and opportunity. During the program year, Stand Up for Kids assisted 18 youth with their homeless services. Finally, using non-federal funding, the City developed a new program, Be Well Huntington Beach, a Mobile Crisis Response Team offering 24/7 community-based assessment and stabilization of individuals experiencing'psychological crisis, challenges related to substance abuse, and other non-medical emergency challenges. Each team consists of two crisis counselors who deescalate a situation and provide a compassionate response to those experiencing a mental health crisis in their homes, on the streets, or at a public location. Since inception of the program in August 2021, Be Well HB has handled 6,007 calls for service including: • 3,993 calls related to mental health checks • 1,568 proactive engagements • 312 substance use cases • 133 public disturbances The City is carefully gathering data to measure program outcomes and impacts on mental health issues in Huntington Beach. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons 2022/23 CAPER 23 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) In FY 2020/21, the City partnered with Mercy House to start operations on the Navigation Center,an emergency homeless shelter,which received funding from CDBG,CDBG-CV(CARES Act funding for activities that prevent, prepare, and respond to COVID-19), and local SB2 funding. The Navigation Center opened its doors in December 2020. The Center has the capacity to shelter up to 174 adults and couples during normal conditions. In FY 2022/23, the City awarded $41,708 in CDBG funding to the Navigation Center to be used for operations and as a result, 10 persons received emergency shelter there. An additional 428 persons also received emergency shelter last year under the nearly $3 million contract from FY 2020/21. 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's, provides 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, HB Oasis will provide property management, residential and supportive services that meet the complex needs of people experiencing homelessness. HB Oasis will provide 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.The City anticipates converting HB Oasis.from interim housing to permanent housing (supported by project based'vouchers) during FY 2023/24. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income•individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care(such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster,care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health,social services,employment, education,or youth needs To help prevent homelessness and protect at-risk populations, Huntington Beach participated in the Orange County Continuum of Care System that provides assistance to persons at risk of becoming homeless. Additionally, the City continued its dedication to assisting families in Huntington Beach with much needed rental assistance. In FY 2022/23, the City awarded $296,642 to Mercy House, $302,755 to Families. Forward, and $391,654 to the Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental 2022/23 CAPER 24 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Assistance programs to income eligible households experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, veterans, victims of domestic violence, and mobile homeowners. The three programs cumulatively assisted 56 households during the year. The City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding and therefore is not required to develop a discharge coordination policy. However,the City will continue to address a discharge coordination policy with the Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force. 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 focused on the development of sustainable and effective programming, including: 1) applying for short and long-term available funding; 2) partnering with experienced service providers capable of leveraging other funding; 3) creating or securing affordable housing; 4)performing homeless case management;and 5)engaging the homeless through a street outreach component in order to better connect them to available services. For example,as mentioned above,the City in 2023 converted the former Quality Inn Hotel into transitional housing / non-congregate shelter with 62 units. The Huntington Beach Oasis provides wrap around supportive services to aid homeless persons in making the transition to permanent housing and independent living. Services will assist with mental and/or physical health issues,substance use problems,trauma or abuse, lack of employment, or contact with the criminal justice system. Supportive services that address these and many other issues are key in assisting any individual experiencing homelessness. These services will continue to be offered at the Navigation Center, as well. With over $3 million in CDBG and CDBG-CV funding, and another $386,00o in HOME-ARP, the emergency homeless shelter will be able to provide wrap around services to help homeless individuals transition to more stable housing upon exiting the shelter. 2022/23 CAPER 25 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Finally,the City provided tenant-based rental assistance to qualified households in FY 2022/23. The need for rental subsidies continues to be a priority for the City, and in November 2022, the City renewed contracts with both Mercy House and Families Forward to continue the operation of their tenant based rental assistance programs. In February,the City signed a new contract for the delivery of tenant-based rental assistance to owners of mobile homes. In FY 2022/23, 56 households received rental assistance. 2022/23 CAPER 26 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-3o - Public Housing Actions taken to address the needs of public housing The City of Huntington Beach does not have any public housing developments. However, Huntington Beach 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. A total of 627 Huntington Beach households receive Section 8 vouchers from the OCHA including i44 families, io2 disabled, and 381 elderly households. Additionally,the OCHA administers 3o Continuum of Care, 17 Family Self-Sufficiency, 20 Family Unification,two Non-Elderly Disabled, 104 Portability, 81 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing, and 3o Emergency Housing Vouchers. The OCHA waiting list is currently closed. Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership Not applicable. Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs Not applicable. 2022/23 CAPER 27 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-35 - Other Actions Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs, every effort is made to remove barriers to affordable housing through agreements with for-profit and non-profit affordable housing developers. These efforts also include working with neighborhood residents to ensure affordable housing projects are acceptable. Ongoing monitoring of both "for sale" and rental affordable units is conducted by department staff by assuring that the affordable housing covenants are recorded on title when the unit is sold. To address the decline in sources of housing funds,the City will continue to advocate for and pursue federal,state, local and private funding sources for affordable housing. Also, City staff continued 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.

The City will identify development partners and coordinate with the County of Orange on joint applications for funding for the two other sites identified in the Hotel/Motel Conversion Overlay during the planning period. Actions taken 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 continued to seek other resources and funding sources to address the biggest obstacle to meeting the community's underserved needs, which is the lack of, and/or, inadequate funding. • The City looked for innovative and creative ways to make its delivery systems more comprehensive and continued existing partnerships with both for-profit and not-for- profit organizations. • The City used HOME and CDBG funds to concentrate on both affordable rental housing,tenant-based rental housing, and homeowner rehabilitation programs. • The City addressed certain housing needs with federal funds such as availability, 2022/23 CAPER 32 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) condition, and fair housing practices to prevent homelessness. • The City also addressed community development needs with federal funds such as infrastructure, improving public facilities and code enforcement. • The City is working with surrounding jurisdictions on a regional approach to meeting the underserved needs. Actions taken 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 Housing Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Affordable Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for rehabilitation are tested if not statutorily exempt. Elimination or encapsulation remedies are implemented if lead is detected and is paid for by either the developer of the project, or with CDBG or HOME funds, as appropriate. To reduce lead-based paint hazards in,existinghousing, 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 taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals established in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan-Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan helped to reduce the number of 2022/23 CAPER 33 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) poverty-level families by: • Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households. • Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness. • Supporting housing preservation programs that ensure low-income households have a safe, decent and appropriate place to live; and • Supporting public services through various nonprofits funded by CDBG that serve the community's youth, seniors,families and those with special needs. In addition to these efforts, the City's anti-poverty strategy seeks to enhance the employability of residents through the promotion and support of programs which provide employment training and supportive services, while expanding employment opportunities through the implementation of the Downtown Business Improvement District and the Tourism Business Improvement District, and,its Economic Development Strategy. The purpose of the Strategy is to identify the e highest'priority economic development objectives in Huntington Beach, and to set goals, policies and 'recommended actions that will set the framework for economic decisions.

Consistent with the City's Priority Needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan, the City allocated majority of its CDBG funding to non-housing community development activities (code enforcement and public services), preceded by the community's housing needs and program administration funded by both CDBG and HOME. The City's Priority Needs are a product of the Needs Assessment, Housing Market Analysis, public input,%and community needs survey — all conducted during the development of the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan's five-year priorities for assistance with CDBG and HOME.funds.also takes into consideration several factors such as: i) those households,most" in need of housing and community development assistance, as determined through the Consolidated'Plan needs assessment, consultation, and public participation process; z)which activities will best meet the needs of those identified households; and 3) the extent,of other non-federal resources that can be utilized to leverage/match CDBG and-HOME funds`to address these needs. .,t Overall, the approved projects and programs ih the FY 2922/23 Annual Action Plan assisted as many participants as possible with limited resources available. In the area of affordable housing,the City funded homeowner rehabilitation and tenant based rental assistance. In FY 2022/23, the City's goal was to fund and complete,a total of eight rehabilitation projects over the course of the year and the City exceeded this'goal by completing ten. The City also funded three tenant based rental.assistance programs including one for mobile home occupants that need assistance with space `rents: Collectively,.the;City had a goal of assisting 67 households, however,'only 84% of`the goal was.met. The-programs have continued into FY 2023/24, in which it\is anticipated that approximately 4o additional households will be served using FY 2022/23 HOME funds for tenant based'rental assistance. The City did not have any newl,goals for the development of affordable housing in FY 2022/23. During FY 2020/21, the.City'awarded $2.8 million to the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project that is currently.. underway. The City, in partnership with Jamboree Housing Corporation, will develop the site at 18431 Beach Boulevard with 42 one-bedroom/one-bath units and one two-bedroom/one-bath managers'unit,ground-level and subterranean parking, conference/office rooms and lounge areas for residents, and outdoor amenities such as a courtyard and a dog park. When complete, the project will offer nine units with HOME- restricted rents, along with 21 units restricted to Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) eligible individuals experiencing homelessness, and 12 to non-MHSA senior households experiencing homelessness. 2022/23 CAPER 9 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Public service allocations amounted to the maximum allowable under CDBG regulations (15 percent of the annual allocation). The City allocated $85,00o to the Children's Bureau after school program; $14,652 to StandUp for Kids Street Outreach; $35,519 to Senior Services Care Management; and $41,708 to the Navigation Center Operations Program. In the Support Agencies that Assist Special Needs Populations goal,the City proposed to assist i40 persons, but exceeded that goal by 264 percent(376persons). Success in this area can be attributed to the Senior Services Care Management-Program that continues to provide meals and other services to many of Huntington Beach's elderly community. In its goal to Support Efforts to Address Homelessness, the City assisted28 of the 33 persons proposed. This was through the Navigation Center Operations and the StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Programs, but this goal did not account for the ongoing CDBG-CV funding the City is giving to the Navigation Center for operational.support.With this investment in homeless services, an additional 428 homeless persons were,assisted last fiscal year. Finally,under the goal, Increase Access to Community Services to Low- and Moderate-Incorne.persons, the Children's Bureau exceeded their goal of Zoo by assisting'253.children"with free-after school childcare in the Oak View neighborhood. f` r Lastly, the City also exceeded its4code enforcement goal of inspecting 60o housing units for local health_and safety compliance by over 200 percent. As a reminder, result`s'will vary`fro''m year to year depending on when they are funded and when they are completed: Generally, affordable housing, public facility, and public infrastructure projects span-multiple years. The accomplishments for projects and programs that have beeri'funded in FY 2022/23 or sooner and are currently underway will be included in the CAPER once the national objective has been met at project completion. 2022/23 CAPER 10 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-bo - Racial and Ethnic Composition of Families Assisted Describe the families assisted (including the racial and ethnic status of families assisted).

The City is required to provide a 25 percent match for HOME funds drawn down on all HOME activities,sans those funded with program income or administrative funds.The City leverages resources among the formula grant programs. Historically,the City has met the HOME match by layering former redevelopment tax increment with HOME-assisted affordable housing acquisition and rehabilitation. As a result of past leveraging contributions toward affordable housing activities, the City has a surplus of match credits.The'match carry-over surplus from prior years was $3,753,787. The City's HOME match liability for FY 20'22/23. was $525,784.21; however, as part of the flexibilities/waivers granted by the CARES Act and Mega Waiver, Huntington Beach was not required to provide a match liability for the period of October 1, 2020,through September 3o, 2022 anyway.The excess match of$3,753,787 will,therefore, be carried over to the next fiscal year. \ Fiscal Year Summary-HOME Match 1.

The City allocated almost $1 million in HOME funds for the operation of three tenant based rental assistance programs.The first program was operated by Mercy House who offered the program to homeless and those at risk of homelessness. Mercy House had a goal to assist 22 households, but enrolled 15 households into the program. The program will continue in FY 2023/24. 2022/23 CAPER 19 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) The second TBRA program was administered by Families First. Households must have a child to be eligible for assistance. During FY 2022/23,18 households enrolled in the program,which was three more than the proposed goal of three.The program will continue in FY 2023/24. Finally, at the end of the fiscal year,the City added a third TBRA program to the city's housing program.The Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program was allocated $391,654 in HOME funds and is offered to owners of mobile homes for help with rising space rents. In one quarter(April -June 2023), the City enrolled 23 households for 24 months of space rent assistance.This was 7 households shy of the goal of 3o. While not included in the goals for 2022/23, the City is still`°underway on a 43-unit senior affordable housing project at 18431 Beach Boulevard called the. Huntington Beach Senior Housing Apartments.The project was awarded $2•.8 million in HOME funds in FY 2020/21.The newly constructed project targeting households with incomes between 30-5o percent of Area Median Income(AMI)will be partially subsidized with approximately$io million from Orange County Housing Authority Project Based Vouchers (PBV). Of the 33 PBV units, 21 will be restricted to Mental Health Services Act (MI-15A) eligible individuals experiencing homelessness earning at or below 3o percent.AMl. Twelve PBV units will be used for non- M HSA senior households experiencing homelessness earning or below 3o percent AMI.The remaining nine units,will,be HOME-restricted to•households with incomes at or below 5o percent AMI.The completed Project will consist of a 4-story building constructed above a one level subterranean parking,garage.The Project.unit mix consists of 42 one-bedroom units and one additional two-bedroom unit designated for on-site management. Discuss how these outcomes wilUimpact f utu're-annual action plans. The Huntington Beach 2029/21-2024/25 Consolidated Plan forecasts that 20 housing units could be developed by way of acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction by the expiration of the,Plan. The Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project, when complete, will satisfy nearly half of\the 57year goal. With this in mind, the City will continue to pursue additional affordable housing development opportunities to create eleven additional units by the end of 2024/25. Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity. 2022/23 CAPER 20 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Number of Households Served CDBG Actual HOME Actual TOTAL Extremely Low-income 37 34 71 Low-income 24 21 45 Moderate-income 5 1 6 Total 66 56 122 Table 13-Number of Households Served Narrative Information During the program year, Huntington Beach had the following housing accomplishments where information on income by family size`was,"required to determine eligibility of the activities: ; • 10 single-family residential rehabilitatiorrgrant and loan projects were.completed. • The City provided 56 households with houing'services in connection with the HOME- funded tenant based rental'assistance program.\ ., • 't • The City provided 56 households with tenant based.rental assistance during the year. t `t, . • \\ ' t a _ - `ti \ t 2022/23 CAPER 21 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs Evaluate the jurisdiction's progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through: Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs 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, de- institutionalization of the mentally ill, and;:an increase of persons making homelessness a lifestyle choice.At the county level, Orange\County undertakes an effort-to enumerate all of the sheltered and unsheltered homeless people within the County in a given twenty-four-hour period. This effort, known as the Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, is congressionally mandated for all communities that receive-HUD funding for homeless programs and takes place once every two years. The most recentcomplete PIT in,Orange County was held on a single night in February,.2022 with the assistanceof.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 i88 unsheltered, and 142 that were sheltered. In an effort to Fea`ch.out to Huntington Beach's homeless community,the Police Department heads'a Homeless Task Force comprised of case•Managers and homeless liaison officers that make proactive contacts, even when no crime was committed and no call for services was generated. This endeavor was, 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. In FY 2022/23, the Task Force offered the following services: case management, shelter;-reunification with family members, mental and physical health services, addiction services, social services, and government benefits. The Homeless Task Force has historically been funded with CDBG and was allocated $50,00o in CDBG public service funds in FY 2021/22; however,funding was shifted to the General Fund during the year and the program was canceled from the City's Annual Action Plan. 2022/23 CAPER 22 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) The City's Community Development Department also made diligent efforts to reach out to and assess the needs of homeless people. In particular, CDBG funding was awarded to the Navigation Center for operational support and to StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Program. The Navigation Center opened its doors in December 2020 and is located at 17642 Beach Boulevard. In addition to providing 174 beds for overnight shelter,the Center provides direct access to vital services that will help individuals experiencing homelessness on the path towards housing security. All persons seeking assistance at the Navigation Center are first assessed by the City's Homeless Task Force. Ten homeless persons were provided support during the fiscal year with the investment of CDBG public service funds. Another 428 were also supported through the City's CDBG-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV)funding that was awarded in prior years. Similarly, StandUp for Kids aims to end the cycle of homelessness, specifically for Huntington Beach's unhoused youth population. The subrecipient uses'volunteer staff to scout streets searching for youth who appear to-be unsheltered or unstably housed. Youth assisted by StandUp for Kids fall between the'ages of-12 and 24,'are,homeless, at-risk of homelessness, aging-out of foster care, or are runaways:StandUp for'Kids works to equip them with the tools they need to transition from life on the street to a.life of stability and opportunity. During the program year, Stand Up for-Kids assisted i8 youth with,their homeless services. • Finally, using non-federal funding, the City developed a new program, Be Well Huntington Beach, a Mobile...Crisis Response Team offering 24/7 community-based assessment and stabilization of individuals experiencing-psychological crisis, challenges related to substance abuse; and other non:,medical'-errhergency'challenges. Each team consists of two crisis . counselors who deescalate a situation and provide a compassionate response to those experiencing.a mental health,crisis in their homes, on the streets, or at a public location. Since inception of th'e,,program in 'August 2021, Be Well HB has handled 6,007 calls for service including: • 3,993 calls related to..mental health checks • 1,568 proactive engagements • 312 substance use cases • 133 public disturbances The City is carefully gathering data to measure program outcomes and impacts on mental health issues in Huntington Beach. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons 2022/23 CAPER 23 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) In FY 2o2o/21, the City partnered with Mercy House to start operations on the Navigation Center,an emergency homeless shelter,which received funding from CDBG,CDBG-CV(CARES Act funding for activities that prevent, prepare, and respond to COVID-19), and local SB2 funding. The Navigation Center opened its doors in December 2020. The Center has the capacity to shelter up to 174 adults and couples during normal conditions. In FY 2022/23, the City awarded $41,708 in CDBG funding to the Navigation Center to be used for operations and as a result, 10 persons received emergency shelter there. An additional 428 persons also received emergency shelter last year under the nearly$3 million contract from FY 2020/21. 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 provides 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, HB Oasis will 'provide property management, residential and supportiye services that, meet the complex needs of people experiencing homelessness. HB Oasis' will,provide traurna .informed, and evidence-based interim operations by ,identifying tool's and--'re-integrating participants back into the community through/case_management.,and linkages to permanent housing. The City's contribution of $1,894,jo4 in HOME-ARP will provide supportive services in Year 5 of the project.The City anticipates convrerting HB Oasis from interim housing to permanent housing (supported by project based vouchers)during FY 2023124. Helping low-income individuals'and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and,families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care(such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster,care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving#ssistance 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 participated in the Orange County Continuum of Care System that provides assistance to persons at risk of becoming homeless. Additionally, the City continued its dedication to assisting families in Huntington Beach with much needed rental assistance. In FY 2022/23, the City awarded $296,642 to Mercy House, $302,755 to Families Forward, and $391,654 to the Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental 2022/23 CAPER 24 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Assistance programs to income eligible households experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, veterans, victims of domestic violence, and mobile homeowners. The three programs cumulatively assisted 56 households during the year. The City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding and therefore is not required to develop a discharge coordination policy. However,the City will continue to address a discharge coordination policy with the Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force. 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 Iiving,`including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelesness, facilitating access for``homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, andpreventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again . In an ongoing effort to continue to address the needs of the homeless and those at risk of homelessness, the City_focused on the 'development`of, sustainable and effective programming, including: 1) applying for short and"long-term available funding; 2) partnering with experienced 'service providers capable of leveraging other funding; 3) creating or securing affordable housing;4)performing homeless case management; and 5)engaging the homeless through a street outreach component in order to better connect them to available services.` For example,as mentioned above,the'City in 2023 converted the former Quality Inn Hotel into transitional.'housing / non-Congregate,shelter with 62 units. The Huntington Beach Oasis provides wrap around supportive services to aid homeless persons in making the transition to permanent housing and independent living. Services will assist with mental and/or physical health issues, substance use`problems,trauma or abuse, lack of employment, or contact with the criminal justice system. Supportive services that address these and many other issues are key in assisting any individual experiencing homelessness. These services will continue to be offered at the Navigation Center, as well. With over $3 million in CDBG and CDBG-CV funding, and another $386,00o in HOME-ARP, the emergency homeless shelter will be able to provide wrap around services to help homeless individuals transition to more stable housing upon exiting the shelter. 2022/23 CAPER 25 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Finally,the City provided tenant-based rental assistance to qualified households in FY 2022/23. The need for rental subsidies continues to be a priority for the City, and in November 2022, the City renewed contracts with both Mercy House and Families Forward to continue the operation of their tenant based rental assistance programs. In February,the City signed a new contract for the delivery of tenant-based rental assistance to owners of mobile homes. In FY 2022/23, 56 households received rental assistance. 2022/23 CAPER 26 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-3o - Public Housing Actions taken to address the needs of public housing The City of Huntington Beach does not have any public housing developments. However, Huntington Beach 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. A total of 627 Huntington Beach households receive Section 8 vouchers from the OCHA including 144 families,102 disabled, and 381 elderly households. Additionally,the OCHA administers 3o Continuum of Care,17 Family Self-Sufficiency,20 Family Unification,two Non-Elderly Disabled,io4 Portability, 81 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing, and 3o Emergency Housing Vouchers.

Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs,every effort is made to remove barriers to affordable housing through agreements with forLprofit and non-profit affordable housing developers. These efforts also include working with neighborhood residents to ensure affordable housing projects are acceptablef.Ongoing,monitoring of both "for sale" and rental affordable units is conducted by department staff by'assuring that the affordable housing covenants are recorded on title when the unit is sold. To address the decline in sources of housing funds,the City will continue to advocate for and pursue federal,state,local and private funding sources for affordable housing. Also, City staff continued 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-fainily,•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 1B.Multi-family Acquisition and Rehabilitation Objective:The acquisition/rehabilitation program will continue to be a part of the City's affordable housing program.The City intends to direct the majority of its housing funds towards new construction of affordable housing (refer to Goals 3 and 5).

CMO STAFF)<city.council@surfcity-hb.org> Subject: Item#10: End-Of-Year Report to HUD Beginning on page 28 of the draft CAPER included for this item, it says city staff are still working with the state to adopt a fully compliant Housing Element. This must mean one of two things: 1.)The city is dropping (or settling) its foolish lawsuit against the state and truly working to adopt a Housing Element. If so, congratulations! Or 2.) We're going to lie to HUD about our progress to gain federal funds, essentially holding the poor, elderly, disabled and homeless in the city hostage while continuing our lawsuit. If the second option is true, I urge the City Council to seek the City Attorney's evaluation of fines and other penalties the city could face if they move forward in this manner, and for this evaluation to be made public so that citizens understand the consequences of this path.

The city staff has done an exemplary job using those funds as efficiently as possible. Knowing that the Navigation Center is here and is staffed with people that are compassionate and understanding helps keep Huntington Beach a wonderful place to live. I want to thank the Council Members who have done the work to increase access to the federal and state funds that support the Navigation Center being built and its continued ability to provide services in our community. Until the affordability problem is solved (wages increased and housing prices stabilized),we will most certainly need more services at the Navigation Center and we should be sure it is functioning at its best.
