Each activity or program funded with CDBG or HOME must fall under one of three objectives and one of three outcomes.The framework of selecting these objectives and outcomes is known as HUD's CPD Outcome Performance Measurement System. Here are the objectives and outcomes to choose from: Objectives • Creating Suitable Living Environments relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment, from physical problems with their environment to social issues. • Providing Decent Housing covers the wide range of housing activities where the purpose is to meet individual family or community housing needs.: • Creating Economic Opportunities applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization,or job creation. Outcomes • Availability/Accessibility applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities, housing, or shelter available or accessible to low- and moderate-income people, including persons with disabilities. • Affordability applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low- and moderate-income people and is appropriate to use whenever an activity is lowering the cost,improving the quality,or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a low-income household. • Sustainability applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods,helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low- and moderate-income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods: The City of Huntington.Beach has ambitious objectives for spending its federal entitlement grant funding. The objectives are identified in the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment which was developed by reviewing census statistical data and building upon already adopted planning documents, coupled with consultation with housing, homeless and service providers, City Departments, and the public via community meetings, public hearings,and a Community Needs Assessment Survey.The result was the formation of seven areas of priority need, including: Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 3 • t. Households with Housing Problems-The need for affordable housing options in the City continue to be high, based on the proportion of households.,in the City, experiencing cost burdens. 2.

As the fourth year of the FY 2020/21 —2024/25:Consolidated Plan progresses, the City remains committed to achieving its objectives and,looks forward to capturing additional performance accomplishments in the year-end FY 2023124 CAPER. However, below is a summary of performance to date. Huntington.Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 4 Decent Housing • In FY 2020/21, the City allocated $2.8 million in HOME funding towards the development of a 43-unit affordable senior housing project located at 18431 Beach Boulevard.This project, undertaken in partnership with the local.Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), Jamboree Housing Corporation, marks a significant step towards addressing the housing needs of the senior population. Out of the 43 units, nine will be HOME-income and rent-restricted,,ensuring affordability for very-low-income households:Upon completion of this project,which is currently in progress, the City will have accomplished nearly 5o% of its 20-unit development goal for the 202o/2i-2024/25 Consolidated Plan timeframe. • Since July 2020, the City has allocated close to $3 million in HOME funds to provide tenant-based rental assistance(TBRA)to low-and moderate-income households.This assistance has been crucial in addressing housing affordability challenges faced by vulnerable populations within the community. Over the first three years of the TBRA program, 146 households received assistance, demonstrating the program's effectiveness in supporting households in need. By mid-year of FY 2023124, an additional 52 households were enrolled in one of the three TBRA programs sponsored by the City,further expanding the reach and impact of rental assistance initiatives. • The Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants Program offers vital assistance to eligible lower-income Huntington Beach households. The Rehabilitation Grant Program provides one-time grants of up to $10,00o to low-income homeowners for deferred maintenance and health and safety-related household repairs. In contrast, the Rehabilitation Loan Program offers deferred payment loans of up to $75,00o to low-income homeowners. These programs aim to assist homeowners in making necessary repairs to maintain the safety and livability of their properties.To date,the City has funded 35 homeowner rehabilitation projects through these programs, with additional households currently on the waiting list. This demonstrates the City's commitment to supporting homeownership and preserving -affordable housing options for its residents. Suitable Living Environment • The City's Special Code Enforcement program has consistently surpassed its goal of assisting 60o housing units each year in CDBG-eligible areas..Since July 2020, the program has issued over 4,00o code violations, which in most cases, are voluntarily addressed by homeowners. This proactive approach to maintaining community standards and ensuring safe and habitable living conditions, underscores the City's_ . . Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 5 commitment to ensuring compliance with housing standards and contributing to the overall well-being and livability of neighborhoods within CDBG-eligible areas. • The City continues to prioritize providing quality and effective services to various segments of the Huntington Beach community, including youth, homeless individuals, seniors, the disabled, and illiterate adults. These efforts.are funded through public service funding and contribute.to enhancing the well-being and accessibility of essential services for.residents. Since July 2020,the City has made significant strides in its public service initiatives. For example, 669 youth have benefited from subsidized after-school programming, enriching. their educational experiences. and providing valuable opportunities for growth and development. Additionally, a total of 1,903 homeless individuals have received a range of services,including case management, emergency housing, outreach services,and other wrap around services.These efforts demonstrate the City's commitment to addressing homelessness and supporting vulnerable populations. Finally, approximately 1,50o seniors have accessed services provided through the City's Senior Care Services Program, catering to their unique needs and promoting active and healthy aging within the community. • As part of its commitment to enhancing public facilities and community infrastructure, the City set a goal to assist 5,000 persons with improved or new public facilities during the 2020/21.2024/25 Consolidated Plan period. In FY 2o23/24, the City allocated CDBG funding to the Central Library'Restrooms Project,which includes ADA improvements. Upon completion,this project will not only contribute to enhancing accessibility but will also exceed the goal by serving a larger number of individuals than initially targeted. • The City used CDBG funding in FY 2020/21, 2021/22, and most recently in FY 2023124 to make ADA curb cut improvements in various areas of the City. By the end of FY 2021/22, over 4,000. persons had already benefited from the handicap-accessible curb cuts, surpassing the 5-year goal of 2,000. An estimated 2,50o additional persons are set to benefit from the latest project in FY 2023124. Economic Opportunity • In 2014, the City of Huntington Beach undertook the preparation of a comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. The purpose of the Strategy was to identify the highest priority economic development objectives in Huntington Beach, and to set goals, policies, and recommended actions that will set the framework for short-term Huntington Beach 2024/25'Annual Action Plan 6 (0-2 years), mid-term (3-5 years), and long-term economic decisions. The Strategy contains a diverse range of core objectives and goals that support the City's Economic Development vision to focus on the retention, attraction, and expansion of the business community, consistent with the City Council's Strategic.Goals to "Enhance Economic Development" and "Improve Financial Stability." In addition,in October 2023,the City Council adopted the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan for the City of Huntington Beach.This 2023-2027 Strategic Plan identifies various policies and programs that the City should prioritize,over and above normal operations,within- the limited financial, human, and operational resources of the City.

Table 4-Citizen Participation Outreach Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 20 EXPECTED RESOURCES AP-15 Expected Resources — 91.22o(c) (0,2) Huntington Beach is an entitlement jurisdiction and as such, will receive $1,121,195 in CDBG entitlement funds, will have approximately $61,591 in prior year CDBG funds carried forward, and is estimated to receive around $33,00o in program income for a total of $1,215,786. The City does not have any income from float-funded activities or surplus from urban renewal settlements, sale of real property, prior period adjustments, loans outstanding or written off, CDBG-acquired property available for sale, or lump sum drawdown payments. Nor is the City funding any "urgent need activities." CDBG funds will be used for public services, housing services in support of eligible HOME activities, a single-family rehabilitation program, code enforcement, infrastructure improvements, and CDBG administration. The City will also receive a HOME entitlement allocation of $538,328. Prior year unallocated funds of$467,361 and approximately $ioo,000 in program income will also be available,for a total of $1,105,689. The City will use HOME funds for administration of the HOME program, and three tenant-based rental assistance programs, and will reserve at least 15%for a future affordable housing project. The City is also proposing to use prior-year HOME administrative funds for current year fair housing services. SB-2, also known as the Permanent Local Housing Allocation funding, was implemented in January 2o19. It imposes an additional recording fee on property sales, with the aim of collecting revenues that are then distributed by the state to local jurisdictions. These funds are earmarked for financing affordable housing projects. Huntington Beach is set to receive annual revenues from this source, but it's contingent upon the certification of the 2021-2029 Housing Element by the State of California.Once the Housing Element is certified, Huntington Beach can continue to access these funds. This funding serves as a crucial resource that can be utilized to complement CDBG and HOME funds, particularly in addressing issues related to affordable housing and homelessness within the community. Leveraging these various funding sources can significantly bolster efforts to combat housing insecurity and homelessness in Huntington Beach. The Huntington Beach Housing Authority also contributes approximately $220,00o annually from the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF) for homeless services personnel as part of the City's Homeless Taskforce effort. The City will pursue competitive public and private grants for the development and Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 21 preservation of programs, housing, and services and work to support legislation that promotes funding for future affordable housing during the Consolidated Plan period.

Local, private, and non-federal funds are usually insufficient to meet our community's heavy demand for housing and services. Agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds leverage significant financial and in- kind support from individual community members, foundations, and private organizations that help meet the needs identified in this plan. Likewise, the City also leverages other resources among the formula grant programs. For example, the HOME program is matched by a variety of sources, including private and public investment including the use of low-income housing tax credits. Other future sources of matching funds include inclusionary housing in-lieu fees; residual receipts from loans of the former Redevelopment Agency;and a State SERAF loan repayment of former Redevelopment Low/Mod Housing Funds. The City has also leveraged CDBG and CDBG-CV funds with local monies to fund the operations of the Navigation Center, an emergency homeless shelter that was constructed to provide a safe place for homeless persons to live during the COVID-19 pandemic. The City of Huntington Beach has historically utilized former redevelopment tax increment funds and match surplus from contributions by the former Redevelopment Agency to meet the 25% match requirement on HOME funds drawn down for affordable housing. While redevelopment tax increment funds are no longer available for future match requirements, the City continues to leverage the match surplus for this purpose. As of September 30, 2022, the City's match surplus is approximately$2,741,888.This surplus provides a valuable resource for meeting the match requirement and supporting affordable housing development initiatives. If appropriate,describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The City Council authorized the acquisition of property located at 17631 Cameron Lane that was developed as an emergency homeless shelter to help meet the needs of the homeless population, a priority need as described in the 2020/21-2024/25 Consolidated Plan.

With a CDBG allocation of$1,121,195,the City of Huntington Beach will allocate $168,179 for public services, representing 15% of the CDBG.entitlement.

Consistent with the City's Citizen Participation Plan for 2020/21-2o24/25, the Annual Action Plan may contain a.list of"back-up"projects to be;activated during the given program year due to one or more of the following circumstances: • Additional funding becomes available during the program year from the close out of current projects that were completed under budget. • More program income becomes available than originally estimated and budgeted in the Annual Action Plan. • If, during the development of the Annual Action Plan, the City of Huntington Beach has not definitively decided which public facility or infrastructure improvement project to fund,the City may opt to categorize each option as a"back-up"project until further project and budget planning is performed.

Income levels identified are 1) extremely low-income; 2) very low- income; and 3) low- and moderate-income households. Based on HUD recommendations, general relative priorities for funding will be as follows: The highest priority is assigned to the needs of the lowest income residents, reflecting their greater vulnerability to displacement, homelessness, or other serious housing situations due to limited financial resources and other challenges they may face. The Consolidated Plan identifies several obstacles to meeting underserved needs, including the high and sustained demand for public services and the shortage of funding available to address the community's needs.

Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 45 AP-5o Geographic Distribution - 91.22o(f) Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration)where assistance will be directed Huntington Beach, situated in northwestern Orange County, California, is an urbanized coastal community characterized by extensive residential development. With much of the residentially designated land already developed,future residential growth primarily depends on the reuse of existing parcels and infill development.The city is bordered by Seal Beach to the northwest, Westminster to the northeast, Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa to the east, Newport Beach to the southeast,and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. CDBG and HOME funds in Huntington Beach are allocated for projects and programs citywide, with a focus on addressing the needs of the most vulnerable neighborhoods, particularly those where 51%or more of the residents are low-or moderate-income. For Code Enforcement efforts, the city conducted a visual survey of CDBG-eligible areas to identify properties, businesses, parkways, alleys, and structures with violations. This survey identified areas within the vicinity bounded by Bolsa Chica Street to the west, Bolsa Avenue to the north, Brookhurst Street to the east, and Atlanta Avenue to the south as having significant deterioration issues. This designated area, known as the "Special Code Enforcement Target Area," encompasses several census tracts with a total population of 46,650 people. Of these residents, 32,395 individuals, or 69.44%, fall within the low- to moderate-income bracket.

Not applicable: Huntington:Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 50 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.22o(i) Throughout the country and the Los Angeles and Orange County region, homelessness:has become an increasing challenge. Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include a lack of housing affordable to low- and moderate-income persons, increases in people living below poverty levels, reductions in subsidies to the poor, drug/alcohol abuse, de- institutionalization of the mentally ill, and an increase of persons making homelessness a lifestyle choice. Once every two years, Orange County undertakes an effort to enumerate all of the sheltered and unsheltered homeless people within the county in a given twenty-four-hour period.This effort, known as the Homeless Point-in-Time(PIT)Count, is congressionally mandated for all communities that receive U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding for homeless programs. HUD's requirement includes a count of both sheltered and unsheltered homeless people, as well as the incidence of certain subpopulation characteristics among the homeless population. HUD requires that the PIT be conducted during the last ten days in January; and in 2024, the County of Orange and Orange County Continuum of Care conducted the sheltered count the night of Monday,January 22,2024,and the unsheltered count starting the morning of Tuesday, January 23, 2024.through Thursday, January 25, 2024.The results of the 2024 PIT are still not available. The February 2022 PIT count enumerated 5,718 homeless individuals. in Orange County, reflecting a decrease of almost 17% from the 2019 tally of 6,86o homeless people. In Huntington Beach specifically, there were 33o total persons counted, with 188 unsheltered, and 142 that were sheltered. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The City of Huntington Beach has implemented an ambitious strategy to address and ultimately end homelessness. In FY 2021/22, the City took significant steps by appointing a Deputy Director of Homelessness&Behavioral Health Services and establishing the Homeless & Behavioral Health System of Care.This comprehensive system aims to support individuals . experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness through outreach, engagement, case . . management,.and connecting them with essential services such as shelter, housing, and Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 51 behavioral health support. Although the Deputy Director's position has evolved since February 2022,the City continues to staff and support homelessness services. The HB Cares Volunteers program is an integral part of the Homeless &, Behavioral Health System in Huntington Beach, serving as the backbone of the initiative and driving positive change within the community. Since its launch in 2023, the HB CARES Program has successfully recruited and trained 18 volunteers who have undergone various training sessions, including de-escalation techniques, trauma-informed care, vicarious trauma, and Mental Health First Aid.Volunteers answer the homeless outreach line daily and return calls, so those in need have a streamlined means of communication with .our outreach team. Further,a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist started in December 2023 and assisted with 8 Disabling Condition Assessments. The therapist will continue to support mental health services on an as-needed basis. The Homeless & Behavioral Health System also incorporates homeless outreach social workers who actively engage with unhoused and at-risk of being unhoused individuals, families, veterans, and seniors. Social workers offer support by linking individuals -to' resources, service providers, and aiding in securing necessary documents for County of Orange housing programs.They maintain close collaboration with local and county shelters, including the Huntington Beach Navigation Center, while also partnering with crisis response teams like Be Well to provide comprehensive assistance and support to those in need. Working in collaboration with Homeless Task Force officers, they ensure that individuals receive the necessary care and resources to address their unique situations effectively. Be Well OC in Huntington Beach(BWOC)is another component of the Homeless&Behavioral Health System. BWOC employs a Mobile Crisis Response Team composed of two Crisis Interventionists who drive to locations and provide in-community assessment :and stabilization services. The teams are well-trained and experienced in providing appropriate information,referrals, transportation to services,and additional follow-up support and case management-to help address mental health-related situations. In FY 2024/25, the City's CDBG Program will also continue its support for outreach and assessment of homeless individuals through the StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Program. StandUp for.Kids is an organization dedicated to serving homeless and at-risk youth aged 12. to 24 in Huntington Beach. Their Street Outreach program involves volunteer staff actively scouting the streets to identify and assist youth who are unsheltered or unstably housed.The program also offers essential services such as food, clothing, hygiene items, and survival kits to homeless youth..Additionally, the program offers medical assistance and compassionate Huntington:Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan .52 mentoring to help these individuals transition from life on the streets to. .a stable and promising future. In FY 2024/25, Stand Up for Kids aims to assist 23 youth with the allocated CDBG funding of$19,213 In FY 2024/25, Robyne's Nest will continue its crucial role in supporting homeless youth in Huntington Beach by assessing their needs and assisting them in becoming stable and productive citizens. This program identifies homeless youth and evaluates their individual needs, working with them to develop personalized plans for stability and success. They provide a wide range of services to homeless youth, including academic support, financial guidance, and life skills development.The program offers assistance with housing resources, basic needs such as food and clothing, and educational support such as tutoring, providing Chromebooks, school supplies, and covering fees. Additionally,. Robyne's Nest offers comprehensive support for the health and well-being of these youth, including counseling, therapy, mentoring, and life skills classes. With an allocation of $50,000 in FY 2024/25, Robyne's Nest aims to assist 20 homeless youth. The third program that will be funded with CDBG is the Project Hope Alliance. With an allocation of $33,714 in FY 2024/25, this program will assess the needs of approximately 78 homeless youth on school campuses. Participants are provided customized, wraparound support from case managers who are available for their students 24 hours a day,which allows the PHA team to create meaningful relationships and be available to address unexpected and emergent needs or crises. PHA will commit 4 case managers to work with students experiencing homelessness, providing intensive; individualized, and long-term care that includes resources for academic guidance, social-emotional mentorship, transportation, technology, basic needs,and external referrals for additional needs. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons In addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons,the City of Huntington Beach developed the Navigation Center at 17642 Beach Boulevard which opened its doors in December 2020. The Center can shelter up to 174 adults and couples with ties to Huntington.Beach. The Center, operated by Mercy House, provides access to vital services that will help individuals experiencing homelessness on the path towards housing security. In FY 2021/22,the City of Huntington Beach collaborated with various governmental and non- profit organizations to initiate the HB Oasis project, a significant_.endeavor aimed at addressing homelessness in the region. Through partnerships with the State of California Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan : 53 Homekey.Program,the County of Orange, National CORE, and American Family Housing, the City facilitated the acquisition and rehabilitation of the former. Quality Inn & Suites motel located at 17251 Beach Boulevard, Huntington Beach. HB Oasis currently serves as interim housing for up to 62 adult individuals and households experiencing homelessness in Orange County's Central Service Planning Area. Beyond providing transitional housing, HB Oasis offers comprehensive property management and residential support services tailored.to meet the diverse and complex needs of its residents. The project is committed to delivering trauma-informed and evidence-based interim operations, with a focus on empowering participants and facilitating their reintegration.into the community through robust case management and linkages to permanent housing solutions. The City's substantial contribution of$1,804,704 in HOME-ARP funds will primarily support the provision of supportive services during Year 5 of the project. In May 2024,the H B Oasis project will transition to permanent supportive housing,including the reconstruction of the individual units to install kitchenettes and the use of project-based vouchers. When this occurs, the $1,804,704 in HOME-ARP funds will be reallocated to the Navigation Center to cover eligible operating costs. Helping homeless persons(especially chronically homeless individuals and families,families with children,veterans and their families,and unaccompanied youth)make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals .and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units,and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again In an ongoing effort to continue to address the needs of the homeless and those at risk of homelessness, the City will focus on the development of sustainable and effective programming,including:applying for short and long-term available funding;partnerships with experienced service providers capable of leveraging other funding; the ability to create or secure affordable housing;perform homeless case management; and engage the homeless through a street outreach component in order to better connect them to available services. The City's goal is to expand on current homeless programs and activities to assist with their successful transition toward self-sufficiency. The conversion of the former Quality Inn Hotel into transitional housing/non-congregate shelter known as Huntington Beach Oasis exemplifies the City's commitment to providing wraparound supportive services aimed at assisting individuals in transitioning to'permanent Huntington.Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan .54 housing and achieving self-sufficiency. Services offered at Huntington.Beach Oasis address a wide range of issues including mental and physical health, substance use, trauma, employment, and contact with the criminal justice system. Additionally,the City is in the.planning stages of repurposing the Navigation Center property into a permanent navigation center and affordable housing development project in FY 2024/25, potentially providing affordable housing paired with supportive services to chronically homeless individuals. Updates on this initiative will be available on the Navigation Center's website. Furthermore,the City will continue its Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program in FY 2024/25, providing rental assistance to homeless, senior,Veteran, and family households in need.This program,administered through partnerships with organizations like Families Forward, Mercy House, and GRC Associates, has been instrumental in preventing homelessness for hundreds of households in Huntington Beach since its inception in 2014. Through these concerted efforts and ongoing initiatives, the City.of Huntington Beach remains dedicated to supporting its homeless population and working towards the goal of ending homelessness in the community. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless,especially extremely low-income individuals and.families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,foster care and other youth facilities,and corrections programs and institutions); or,receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing,health,social services,employment,education,or youth needs. In its efforts to prevent homelessness and support at-risk populations, Huntington Beach actively participates in the Orange County Continuum of Care System,which offers assistance to individuals and families who are at risk of homelessness.This collaboration enables the City to leverage resources and access support services for those in need. Furthermore, Huntington Beach has:demonstrated 'a' commitment to providing rental assistance to families facing housing instability. In FY 2°24/25, the City will allocate_a total of $866,9o1 in HOME funding to organizations such as Mercy House, Families Forward, and the Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental Assistance programs. These programs target income- ' eligible households, including those experiencing homelessness,at risk of homelessness, veterans, victims of domestic violence, and mobile homeowners. Through these efforts, a Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan ' 55 total of 55 households are expected to receive assistance in FY 2024/25. While the City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding, it remains proactive in addressing discharge coordination policies. Collaborating with the Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force, the City seeks to ensure smooth transitions for individuals leaving emergency shelters or transitional housing programs, thereby promoting housing stability within the community.' Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 56 AP-75 Barriers to Affordable Housing- 91.22o(j) Huntington Beach has demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting affordable housing through various measures, including updates to its zoning ordinance and direct financial assistance to affordable housing projects. In late 2021,the City conducted public meetings to revise its Affordable Housing ordinance to better align with community needs and legal requirements.These updates aimed to provide compliance options with the law,implement Housing Element programs,and adjust in-lieu fees and methodology to reflect current market conditions. Despite funding constraints resulting from the loss of Redevelopment Housing Funds,which previously generated approximately$3 million annually for housing activities,the City remains dedicated to developing affordable housing. However, one of the primary challenges faced by Huntington Beach in this regard is the scarcity of vacant land suitable for residential development. Much of the underdeveloped residentially zoned land is owned by separate owners, making lot consolidation and the demolition of existing structures necessary to accommodate higher density infill development. To address this challenge,the City has adopted alternative policy tools, such as the Amended Downtown and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plans.These plans provide opportunities for: high-density mixed-use and residential infill development, facilitating the creation of affordable housing units within the community. Through continued collaboration and innovative approaches, Huntington Beach aims to overcome barriers and enhance the availability of affordable housing for its residents. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls,tax policies affecting land,zoning ordinances, building codes,fees and charges,growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs,every effort is made to remove barriers to affordable housing through agreements with for-profit and nonprofit affordable housing developers. These efforts also include working with neighborhood residents to ensure affordable housing projects are acceptable. Ongoing monitoring of. "for sale" affordable units is conducted by department staff by assuring that the affordable housing covenants are recorded on title when the unit is sold. To address the decline in sources of housing funds, the City will continue to advocate for and pursue federal, state, local and private funding sources for affordable housing. Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 57 Also, City staff is continuing to work towards certification of its 2021-2029 Housing Element, one of the State-mandated elements of the City's General Plan which must identify how the City will accommodate its share of the regional housing need for all economic segments of the community,commonly referred to as RHNA(Regional Housing Needs Allocation). For the 2021-2029 planning period, the City must provide zoning capacity for 13,368 dwelling units across all income levels. City staff has identified ways to accommodate the RHNA including production of accessory dwelling units,conversion of hotels/motels to lower-income housing, and implementation of. Affordable Housing Overlays. The proposed Affordable Housing Overlays will allow for multi-family residential uses at densities ranging from 35—7o dwelling units per acre by right provided that at.least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower- income households. . . • While still in process of development, the Draft Housing Element also addresses the City's provisions for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing. The following policies 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 Schedule of Action: 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: The City's goal is to assist in the acquisition/rehabilitation of a minimum of 3o units across all income levels with a focus on housing available at the very low-and low-income levels over the planning period. Program iD. Preservation of Assisted Rental Housing. Schedule of Action: Begin outreach to property owners in the first year of the planning period and continue ongoing outreach to property owners one year prior to affordability contract expiration. Staff:will also continue the ongoing identification of qualified entities to acquire and manage preserved affordable units.

Discussion on Funding Recommendations for the Community Development Block Grant Public Services Program Applications for the 2023/24 Program Year The U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)has not issued notice of Program 5 Huntington Beach Citizen Participation Comments 2024/25 Annual Action Plan Year 2024-25 funding allocations. Board Members conducted open discussion regarding the anticipated available disbursement of $175,750 of CDBG Public Services funds to PY 2024-25 applicant organizations based upon the PY 2023-24 CDBG allocation to the City of Huntington Beach. The initial Public Services requests for funds received from applicant organizations for Program Year 2024-25 totaled $320,337. Subsequently, two applicants reduced their funding requests: City of Huntington Beach Homeless Outreach Transportation (reduced from$50,000 to$25,000), and Robyne's Nest Housing for Homeless and At-Risk Youth (reduced from$100,000 to$75,000). These adjustments resulted in a total funding request of$270,337 to be evaluated by the Board. Board Member Inouye proposed a reduction of 71% be applied equally to all funding requests and meet the anticipated available funding. Board Members conferred and mutually agreed that the fairest method to address the shortfall in funds would be to reduce all funding requests by an equivalent percentage, which was determined to be 65%. The remaining balance was then proposed to be applied in equal share to the Oak View FRC Drop-In Recreation program and Robyne's Nest Housing for Homeless and At-Risk Youth. Board Members also considered it prudent to provide the City Council with a recommendation that excluded funding for the City of Huntington Beach Homeless Outreach Transportation vehicle and a second recommendation to be applied if alternative funding for the vehicle could not be made available. Motion by Board Member Hoskinson, second by Vice Chair Paris and unanimously supported (6- 0) to provide the City Council with a primary recommendation of funding allocation.

City of Huntington Beach Oak View FRC Drop-In Recreation Program $60,250 Project Hope Alliance On-Site Case Management for Homeless Youth $32,500 Robyne's Nest Housing for Homeless and At-Risk Youth $50,000 StandUP for Kids Street Outreach $22,750 City of Huntington Beach—Homeless Outreach Transportation $10,250 Provide a recommendation to the City Council for adjusting program funding levels if the City's final CDBG allocation from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is higher or 6 Huntington Beach Citizen Participation Comments 2024/25 Annual Action Plan lower than anticipated.
