REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Eric G. Parra, Interim City Manager
VIA: Jennifer Villasenor, Director of Community Development
PREPARED BY: Charles Kovac, Housing Manager
Subject:
Consideration of the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan for Federal Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Entitlement Grant Programs
4 Avopr gmourTI DN ND. 2D2Jy-I/-
Statement of Issue:
The City receives CDBG and HOME federal entitlement grant funds annually from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). To remain eligible for these grant funds, the
City is required to submit an Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) to HUD each year outlining how these
funds will be used during the upcoming fiscal year. As part of this annual process, the Citizen
Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) evaluates funding applications and makes funding
recommendations for CDBG public services activities to the City Council. The CPAB
recommendations for Fiscal Year 2024-25 are summarized in Table 2 of Attachment 1 of this report
and described in detail in the 2024-25 Action Plan (Exhibit "B" of Attachment 2). The deadline for
submission of the 2024-25 Action Plan to HUD is May 15, 2024.
Financial Impact:
The City's estimated 2024-25 CDBG and HOME program budget comprised of $1,264,681 in CDBG
and $1,235,731 in HOME funds is based upon the current 2023-24 funding allocations. The CDBG
and HOME program budget includes HUD's estimated annual entitlement allocation, carryover funds
from prior fiscal year, and program income.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the following in compliance with the
Consolidated Plan Procedures of 24 CFR Part 91:
A) Conduct a public hearing for the 2024-25 Action Plan; and,
B) Adopt Resolution No. 2024-17, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach,
California, Approving the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan for Federal Community Development Block
City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 5 Printed on 5/1/2024
powere51/LegistarTM
File #: 24-247 MEETING DATE: 5/7/2024
Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships Programs"; and,
C) Authorize the City Manager to sign all necessary related documents.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the 2024-25 Action Plan, and direct staff accordingly.
If the City does not submit an approved 2024-25 Action Plan to HUD by May 15, 2024, the City will
be out of compliance with HUD regulations and would likely forfeit CDBG and HOME funding.
Alternatively, the City Council may choose to modify any of the funding recommendations for CDBG
and HOME projects and programs within the aggregate funding limits outlined in this report.
Analysis:
Background
Each year, the City of Huntington Beach receives entitlement grant funds from HUD under the CDBG
and HOME programs. According to program objectives set forth in HUD regulations, funds from these
programs must be used to benefit lower-income Huntington Beach residents, as well as the
community needs identified in the City's approved 2020-24 Consolidated Plan. HUD regulations
require public participation in the allocation of CDBG and HOME funds. Therefore, each year the City
issues a Notice of Funding Availability to invite local community organizations to submit applications
for public service programs.
The CPAB reviews all eligible applications, receives public input, hears oral presentations from the
applicants, and makes funding recommendations to the City Council. These recommendations are
outlined in the attached Action Plan (Exhibit "B" of Attachment 2), which must be approved by the City
Council at a public hearing and submitted to HUD by May 15, 2024.
2024-25 CDBG and HOME Funding Levels
As of this report, HUD has yet to release the City's funding levels for the 2024-25 Program Year.
Therefore, estimated funding levels in this report and the attached draft 2024-25 Action Plan are
based on the current year 2023-24 allocations. In addition to the CDBG and HOME annual
allocations, the City will also have available program income funds, which are payments on
outstanding loans previously made by the City, and carryover funds, which are unused funds from
previously approved projects that are now available for new activities. CDBG rules limit the use of
carryover funds only for eligible capital projects. As shown in Table 1 of Attachment 1, the City will
receive an estimated $1,171,668 in CDBG entitlement funds, approximately $60,013 in prior year
carryover CDBG funds, and is estimated to receive $33,000 in program income for a total of
$1,264,681 in 2024-25 CDBG funding resources. As also shown in Table 1 of Attachment 1, the City
will receive an estimated $668,370 in HOME entitlement funds, approximately $467,361 in HOME
carryover funds, and is estimated to receive $100,000 in program income for a total of $1,235,731 in
2024-25 HOME funding resources.
Funds Available for CDBG Public Services Programs
City of Huntington Beach Page 2 of 5 Printed on 5/1/2024
powereaty LegistarTM
File #: 24-247 MEETING DATE: 5/7/2024
Federal regulations allow the City to designate up to 15 percent of the CDBG allocation for public
service programs. Eligible public service programs must be directed toward improving community
services concerned with services such as employment, childcare, health, substance abuse,
education, recreation or welfare for low-income residents. The maximum amount of funds available
for public service programs is estimated at $175,750.
Funds Available for CDBG Capital and Housing Preservation Projects
The estimated amount of funds available for CDBG Capital and Housing Preservation Projects is
$854,597. CDBG regulations allow a variety of capital projects and activities that benefit low-income
residents, including the development of affordable housing, rehabilitation and preservation of existing
housing, improvements to public facilities to comply with requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, and special code enforcement programs.
Funds Available for HOME Capital Projects
HOME regulations allow capital projects primarily for the creation of affordable housing and
temporary rental assistance for low-income residents. The estimated amount of funds available for.
HOME Capital Projects is $1,168,894.
Funds Availablefor Program Administration
Up to 20 percent of the City's CDBG allocation from HUD, estimated at $234,334, and 10 percent of
its HOME allocation, estimated at $66,837, may be used for planning and administration. In addition
to the 2024-25 CDBG and HOME administration funding described above, available unspent HOME
administration funding in the amount of $168,387 from FY 2019-20 is proposed to be used on
activities in 2024-25 including the following: 1) preparation of the 2025-29 Consolidated Plan; 2)
preparation of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, a required component document
of the Consolidated Plan; 3) fair housing services recommended to be provided by the Fair Housing
Foundation; and 4) staff salaries to implement the above activities. Fair housing services are a HUD
mandated activity for all jurisdictions and include tenant/landlord mediation, unlawful detainer
assistance, fair housing education, and investigating claims of housing discrimination.
Fiscal Year 2024-25 Funding Recommendations
On February 1, the CPAB conducted a noticed public meeting that provided residents the opportunity
to participate in the CDBG funding recommendation process. The CPAB received public comments
and heard presentations from seven CDBG public services applicants. Subsequently, on February
22, the CPAB met to deliberate and make funding recommendations to the City Council, and by a
unanimous vote, recommended that the City Council fund four of the six public services applications
• that were received (see Table 2 of Attachment 1).
The City received one application for fair housing services from the Fair Housing Foundation, and
this program is recommended to be fully funded in the amount of $35,000 with HOME program
administration funds.
CDBG capital and housing preservation projects consist of the City's Housing Rehabilitation

Program, Special Code Enforcement Program, Maintenance Zone 2 ADA Improvements, and Tenant
Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Program Administration in the total amount of$854,597.
On March 19, the City Council and CPAB held a joint study session to review these funding
recommendations, which are summarized in Table 2 of Attachment 1 and described in detail in the
2024-25 Action Plan (Exhibit "B" of Attachment 2).
CDBG & HOME Funding Alternatives
Because HUD has not yet provided the City with its 2024-25 CDBG and HOME allocations, staff and
CPAB have made the following recommendations to adjust the funding levels for each activity in the
event that HUD allocations are higher or lower than what is estimated in this report. If approved, staff
will modify the 2024-25 Action Plan in accordance with these alternatives once HUD has provided the
allocations and prior to submitting the 2024-25 Action Plan to HUD. The recommended alternatives
are as follows:
Public Services allocations:
1. If CDBG funding is less than expected: Maintain the recommended funding awards to the
Oakview FRC Drop-In Recreation Program and Robyne's Nest and reduce funding to Project
Hope Alliance and StandUp for Kids by equal share (50% / 50%).
2. If CDBG funding is more than expected: Allocate increased funds by equal share (50% / 50%)
to the Oakview FRC Drop-In Recreation Program and Robyne's Nest. No additional funds
would be allocated to Project Hope Alliance or StandUp for Kids.
Capital and Housing Preservation Project allocations:
1. If CDBG funding is less than expected: Maintain the recommended funding allocations for
Special Code Enforcement and TBRA Program Administration and reduce funding to the
Housing Rehabilitation Program and Maintenance Zone Area 2 ADA Improvements equally.
2. If CDBG funding is more than expected: Maintain the recommended funding allocations for
Special Code Enforcement and Maintenance Zone Area 2 ADA Improvements and increase
funding to the Housing Rehabilitation Program and TBRA Program Administration equally.
3. If HOME funding is less or more than expected: Adjust the Mobile Home TBRA program
accordingly. Other HOME capital programs to remain unchanged.
Administration allocations:
1. If CDBG funding is less or more than expected: Adjust CDBG Administration accordingly to
maintain the 20 percent program cap.
2. If HOME funding is less than or more than expected: Adjust HOME Administration and
Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) funding accordingly to maintain the.
10 percent and 15 percent program requirements.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AP-o5 Executive Summary- 24 CFR 91.2oo(c), 91.22o(b)
The Huntington Beach 2020/21-2024/25 Consolidated Plan constitutes the City's strategy for
addressing its housing and community development needs utilizing federal entitlement funds.
The goals are to assist low- and moderate-income persons, provide decent housing, create
suitable living environments, and expand economic opportunities. Included in the
Consolidated Plan are broad five-year objectives and strategies to accomplish these goals. •
Specific identifiable benchmarks for measuring progress in realizing the City's strategy are
proposed in the Annual Action Plans.
The 2024/23 Annual Action Plan includes application for funds under two different HUD
entitlement programs - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME
Investment Partnership Program (HOME). Current year entitlements combined with
reallocations and repayments from prior year activities (program income) bring the total
funding for Program Year 2024125 to just over $2.3 million.The following Annual Action Plan
describes resources, programs, activities and actions Huntington Beach will undertake in FY
2024/23 to implement its strategic plan and ultimately achieve its Consolidated Plan goals and
objectives,summarized in the table on the following page.

Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has established three
predetermined objectives and outcomes designed to capture the range of community
Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 2
impacts that occur as a result of CDBG and HOME-funded programs. Each activity or program
funded with CDBG or HOME must fall under one of three objectives and one of three
outcomes.The framework of selecting these objectives and outcomes is known as HUD's CPD
Outcome Performance Measurement System. Here are the objectives and outcomes to
choose from:
Objectives
• Creating Suitable Living Environments relates to activities that are designed to benefit
communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment,
from physical problems with their environment to social issues.
• Providing Decent Housing covers the wide range of housing activities where the
purpose is to meet individual family or community housing needs.
• Creating Economic Opportunities applies to activities related to economic
development, commercial revitalization, or job creation.
Outcomes
• Availability/Accessibility applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public
services, public facilities, housing, or shelter available or accessible to low- and
moderate-income people, including persons with disabilities.
• Affordability applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low-
and moderate-income people and is appropriate to use whenever an activity is
lowering the cost,improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or
service to benefit a low-income household.
• Sustainability applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or
neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons
of low- and moderate-income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas,
through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods.
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
1. Households with Housing Problems -The need for affordable housing options in the
City continue to be high, based on the proportion of households in the City
experiencing cost burdens.
2. Homelessness - Homelessness continues to be a growing and pressing issue in
Huntington Beach and regionally. The City will continue to fund and support efforts
that address homelessness and serve persons experiencing homelessness.
3. Special Needs Populations - There are a number of special needs populations in the
City that need continued services and support. These include, but are not limited to,
persons with severe mental illness, veterans, persons with substance abuse
addictions,and seniors.
4. Priority Community Services -There are a number of vital community services in the
City that need continued services and support. These community services serve low-
to moderate-income households and include activities, such as youth and senior
services.
5. Priority Community and Public Facilities-The City recognizes the high need for public
improvement activities throughout the City in order to provide for and maintain a safe
and decent environment for its citizens. Identified priority needs include, but are not
limited to, homeless shelters, parks and recreational centers, youth centers, and
healthcare facilities.
6. Priority Infrastructure Improvements - The City recognizes the high need for public
improvement activities throughout the City in order to provide for and maintain a safe
and decent environment for its citizens. Identified priority needs include, but are not
limited to, street and road improvements, sidewalk improvements, flood drainage
improvements,and tree planting.
7. Other Housing and Community Development Needs-The City has identified the need
to provide support for the HOME and CDBG programs in the City, as well as to
affirmatively furtherr fair housing. These activities are vital to the continuation of the
City's efforts to administer these programs.
Evaluation of past performance
The City reviews and evaluates its performance through its annual submission of the
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER). As the fourth year of the
FY 2020/21 -2024125 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 $io,000 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 5,00o persons with improved or new public facilities during
the 2020/21-2024125 Consolidated Plan period. In FY 2023124, 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 4,00o 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. The goal of
economic development is for greater business retention, investment, and job growth
in Huntington Beach.
Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process •
As a condition to receiving CDBG and HOME funds,the City of Huntington Beach must engage
stakeholders and the-public regarding the community's needs in the areas of community
development and housing.To guide in this effort,the City has adopted a Citizen Participation
Plan which outlines the citizen participation and consultation efforts necessary for the
development of the Consolidated Plan,Annual Action Plan,and CAPER.
All of Huntington Beach's citizens are encouraged to participate in the planning,
development,and implementation of the Action Plan.Two public hearings and several public
meetings with the Citizen Participation Advisory Board are held by the City each year to
discuss issues related to the Consolidated Plan as well as the Action Plan.
A summary of the Annual Action Plan was presented to the CPAB and City Council on March
19, 2024 and subsequently on April 5,2024, and the Draft Action Plan was posted to the City's
website. A Public Hearing on adopt the FY 2024/25 Action Plan will be held on May 7, 2024
before the Huntington Beach City Council, following a 3o-day public comment period that
began on April 5, 2024 and culminated with the public hearing to approve the Plan on May 7,
2024.

Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 9
AP-10 Consultation -91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(I)
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies(91.215(1)).
The City of Huntington Beach developed its five-year (2020/21 - 2024125) Consolidated Plan
through a collaborative process that involved consultation with various stakeholders. These
stakeholders included the Orange County Housing Authority, City departments, health and
social service providers, and neighboring local governments.As part of this process,the City
sought input from housing, homeless, and social service providers that are active within
Huntington Beach.
To gather input from these service providers,the City distributed a brief survey to solicit their
perspectives on the services they offer, priority needs within the community,and any gaps in
services that exist. This survey served as a valuable tool for capturing the insights and
expertise of organizations working directly with residents in need of housing assistance,
homeless services, and social support.
By engaging with a diverse range of stakeholders and seeking input through surveys and
consultations, the City ensured that its Consolidated Plan was informed by the experiences
and perspectives of those directly involved in addressing housing and social service needs in
Huntington Beach. This collaborative approach helps to ensure that the Consolidated Plan
accurately reflects the community's priorities and guides the allocation of resources to
address key challenges effectively.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children,veterans,and unaccompanied youth)and persons at risk of homelessness
The City of Huntington Beach actively participates in the Orange County Continuum of Care
(CoC), which is led and coordinated by the Orange County Health Care Agency. This
partnership between public and nonprofit entities aims to ensure comprehensive and regional
coordination of efforts and resources to address homelessness and support individuals at risk
of homelessness throughout Orange County.
As part of the CoC, the City's Homeless Outreach Case Manager collaborates with other
stakeholders to promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness.
Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 10
The CoC serves as a regional convener of year-round planning processes and facilitates the
involvement of public and private agencies within the regional homeless system of care.
The Orange County Continuum of Care system is structured to achieve several key objectives:
1. Promote Community-wide Commitment: The CoC fosters a shared commitment
among stakeholders to end homelessness through regional coordination and
collaboration.
2. Advocate for Funding and Resources: It advocates for funding and resources to
support efforts aimed at quickly rehousing individuals experiencing homelessness
while minimizing trauma and dislocation.
3. Promote Access to Mainstream Programs: The CoC works to ensure that homeless
individuals and families have access to and effectively utilize mainstream programs and
services.
4. Implement Best Practices: It promotes the implementation of best practices and
evidence-based approaches to homeless programming and services to ensure
effectiveness and efficiency.
By actively participating in the Orange County Continuum of Care, the City of Huntington
Beach contributes to the collective efforts aimed at addressing homelessness and improving
outcomes for individuals and families experiencing housing instability in the region.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
The Citizen Participation Plan established by the City of Huntington Beach demonstrates a
commitment to inclusive and transparent governance in its federal HOME and CDBG
programs. By encouraging and facilitating citizen participation in the planning, development,
and implementation of the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan, the City ensures that
community voices are heard and considered in decision-making processes.
The City's practice of holding advertised public hearings and publishing Notices of Public
Hearings at least 15 days before the hearing provides residents with ample opportunity to
engage and provide input on community needs. Additionally, making public notices, staff
reports,and Action Plans accessible on the City's website enhances transparency and enables
residents to review relevant information at their convenience.
Housing and Community Development Needs Survey
To evaluate public opinion of specific housing and community development needs for the
2020/21—2024/25 Consolidated Plan,the City utilized a Housing and Community Development
Needs Survey(in English and Spanish)in which the respondent was asked to rank the level of
need for a particular service,capital improvement,and public benefit. A total of 417 responses
were received and helped shape the outcome of the Plan's Five-Year Goals and Objectives.
Community Meetings
For development of the Consolidated Plan, the Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB)
conducted a series of public hearings on community needs on October 3, 2019, November 7,
2019, December 5, 2019, and February 20, 2020, at Huntington Beach City Hall and at the Oak
View Branch Library. The comments received are summarized in the Consolidated Plan
Appendix.

EXPECTED RESOURCES
AP-15 Expected Resources— 91.22o(c) (1,2.)
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 $1oo,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 2019. 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.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources(private,state and local
funds),including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Federal funds play a crucial role in implementing the Consolidated Plan. Local, private, and
non-federal funds are usually insufficient to meet 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 3o, 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.

Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 27
Estimate the number of extremely low-income, low-income,and moderate-income families
to whom the jurisdiction will provide affordable housing as defined by HOME 91.215(b)
In FY 2024125, the City of Huntington Beach will continue addressing housing affordability
challenges by providing tenant-based rental assistance(TBRA)to various households in need.
Specifically,the City plans to allocate HOME funding for TBRA through contracts with Families
Forward and Mercy House to assist 15 homeless, senior, Veteran, and/or family households
each. Additionally, a third TBRA program will be available to senior households requiring
assistance with mobile home space rents, with the Action Plan proposing to aid 25 mobile
home residents during the fiscal year.
Furthermore, in FY 2020/21, the City allocated $2,830,698 in HOME funds to support the
Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project situated at 18431 Beach Boulevard. This project,
developed in collaboration with the local Community Housing Development Organization
(CHDO), Jamboree Housing Corporation, will feature a total of 42 one-bedroom/one-bath
units and one two-bedroom/one-bath manager's unit. Of these, nine units will be HOME-
restricted, contributing to the City's affordable housing inventory. Upon completion, this
project will fulfill 45%of the City's five-year goal to provide 20 new affordable housing units.
Looking ahead to FY 2024/25, Huntington Beach has earmarked the necessary 15% CHDO
allocation for the development of additional affordable housing.The specific project for this
allocation is yet to be determined.

PROJECTS
AP-35 Projects- 91.220(d)
The City plans to undertake the following CDBG and HOME funded activities during FY 2024/25
to address its priority housing and community development needs. All proposed activities are
eligible and meet program service targets.Additionally,the City of Huntington Beach has not
exceeded any of its maximum allocations for CDBG public services, CDBG administration, or
HOME administration.With a CDBG allocation of$1,121,195, the City of Huntington Beach will
allocate $168,179 for public services, representing 15% of the CDBG entitlement. This Action
Plan proposes to allocate the following to 2024/25 public services: Stand Up for Kids Street
Outreach ($19,215); Robyne's Nest($50,000); Project Hope Alliance ($33,714); and Children's
Bureau ($65,250). CDBG regulations also permit a maximum allocation of 2o% of the annual
entitlement, or$224,239,for CDBG administration activities.The City has allocated this entire
amount to CDBG Administration. Lastly, a maximum of 10%of the annual HOME entitlement,
$53,833,will be allocated to HOME Program Administration in FY 2024/25.
Consistent with the City's Citizen Participation Plan for 2020/21-2024/25, the Annual Action
Plan may contain a list of"back-up" projects to be activated during the given program year
due to one or more of the following circumstances:
• Additional funding becomes available during the program year from the close out of
current projects that were completed under budget.
• More program income becomes available than originally estimated and budgeted in
the Annual Action Plan.
• If, during the development of the Annual Action Plan, the City of Huntington Beach.
has not definitively decided which public facility or infrastructure improvement
project to fund,the City may opt to categorize each option as a"back-up"project until
further project and budget planning is performed. Initiation and funding of one or
more of the "back-up" projects would not constitute a substantial amendment as
defined in the Citizen Participation Plan. Preferential consideration will be given to
those projects that demonstrate the ability to spend CDBG funds in a timely manner,
consistent with the City's goal to meet CDBG timeliness rules,as well as those projects
that meet the needs of the community as defined in the Consolidated Plan.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan discusses housing
need by income category. Income levels identified are 1) extremely low-income; 2)very low-
income; and 3) low- and moderate-income households. Based on HUD recommendations,
general relative priorities for funding will be as follows:
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.

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.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
The City is committed to using CDBG funds to improve all Huntington Beach communities.
Public services will reach eligible residents citywide, providing much-needed services to
Huntington Beach's youth and homeless populations. Ninety percent of the City's federal
budget for FY 2024/25 will be allocated to projects that provide citywide benefits.
Also, alleviating blight motivates investments in the Special Code Enforcement Target Area.
The Special Code Enforcement Program aims to transform the area by identifying substandard
residential and commercial properties and seeing to it that code deficiencies are resolved.Ten
percent of the City's federal budget for 2024125 will be used to fund these services.

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$19,215.
In FY 2o24125, 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 $50,00o 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 2024125, 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 2o24/25,
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 2024/25, 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- 91.220(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:

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City of Huntington Beach has identified long-range strategies, activities, and funding
sources to implement the goals in the areas of housing and community development services
for the benefit of the residents.
• The City will continue to seek other resources and funding sources to address the
biggest obstacle to meeting the community's underserved needs,which is the lack of
funding and/or inadequate funding.
• The City will look for innovative and creative ways to make its delivery systems more
comprehensive and will continue existing partnerships with both for-profit and not-
for-profit organizations.
• The City will use HOME and CDBG funds to concentrate on both affordable rental
housing,tenant-based rental housing, and homeowner rehabilitation programs.
• The City is currently addressing certain housing needs with federal funds, such as
availability, condition, and fair housing practices to prevent homelessness.
• The City is also addressing community development needs with federal funds,such as
infrastructure, improving public facilities and code enforcement.
• The City is working with surrounding jurisdictions on a regional approach to meeting
the underserved needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City's Consolidated Plan has identified the preservation of existing, and the creation of
new,affordable housing as an implementing goal during-the 2020/21—2024/25 timeframe.The
City will continue to maintain the Affordable Housing Viewer on its website to allow the public
to view where affordable housing units are located in the City.
The City will continue to offer funding to tenant based rental assistance programs in
Huntington Beach through a combination of CDBG and HOME funds. In FY 2024125, the City
will allocate$210,078 in CDBG and nearly$866,901 in HOME funds to assist 55 households with
rental assistance. The City will offer rental assistance to both eligible Huntington Beach
renters, as well as to senior mobile home residents to help with increasing space rents in
Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 61
Huntington Beach's mobile home park communities.
The City also awarded $2.8 million in HOME funding to the development of a new affordable
senior permanent supportive housing (PSH) project. The City partnered with a local
community housing development organization, or CH DO, Jamboree Housing Corporation to
develop 43 units of senior housing at 18431 Beach Boulevard. Of the 43 units, nine will be
HOME-restricted.The project will be completed in FY 2024/25.
Furthermore, the City will continue its residential rehabilitation. programs available to
Huntington Beach homeowners.The first program offers a one-time grant of up to$1o,000 to
eligible lower income homeowners to make emergency and health or safety-related
household modifications.The second program offers a loan of up to$75,00o with an interest
rate of 3%for single family home and multifamily rental housing improvements. Collectively,
the City is proposing to assist eight lower-income households with rehabilitation assistance in
FY 2024/25.
Lastly, to supplement the cost of the City's effort to update the streamlining process of
affordable housing, the City may be awarded an SB 2 Planning Grant Program grant funds
from the California Department of Housing and Community Development once the 2021-2029
Housing Element is certified. Huntington Beach is slated to receive approximately $550,000
per year to leverage CDBG and HOME funds in the areas,of affordable housing and
homelessness.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As a means of better protecting children and families against lead poisoning, in 1999 HUD
instituted revised lead-based paint regulations focused around the following five activities:
• Notification
• Lead Hazard Evaluation
• Lead Hazard Reduction
• Ongoing Maintenance
• Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level
The City has implemented HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires
federally funded rehabilitation projects to address lead hazards. Lead-based paint abatement
is part of the City's Residential Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of
Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 62
Affordable Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for
rehabilitation are tested if not statutorily exempt. Elimination or encapsulation remedies are
implemented if lead is detected and is paid for by either the developer of the project, or with
CDBG or HOME funds, as appropriate.
To reduce lead-based paint hazards in existing housing, all housing rehabilitation projects
supported with federal funds are tested for lead and asbestos. When a lead-based paint
hazard is present, the City or the City's sub-grantee contracts with a lead consultant for
abatement or implementation of interim controls, based on the findings of the report.
Tenants are notified of the results of the test and the clearance report. In Section 8 programs,
staff annually inspects units on the existing program and new units as they become available.
In all cases, defective paint surfaces must be repaired. In situations where a unit is occupied
by a household with children under the age of six, corrective actions will include testing and
abatement if necessary, or abatement without testing.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City's major objectives in reducing poverty within Huntington Beach are to:
• Reduce the number of families on welfare;
• Reduce the number of families needing housing subsidies;and
• Increase economic opportunities for low-and moderate-income persons.
The City's anti-poverty strategy seeks to enhance the employability of residents through the
promotion and support of programs, which provide employment training and supportive
services, while expanding employment opportunities through the implementation of three
Business Improvement Districts,and its Economic Development Strategy.The City's Economic
Development and Housing Division strives to ensure the public is made aware of any economic
development opportunities that can be found via the City's official website and on
www.hbbiz_com , also maintained by the City.
In terms of employment training and supportive services,the City supports literacy programs
for families (Oakview Family Literacy Program) with General. Funds that help enhance the
employability of low-income persons with deficient English speaking, reading, and writing
skills. As funding permits, the City will continue to support the following public services to
increase family stability for lower income households:
Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 63
• Counseling
• Domestic Violence Prevention Services
• Provision of food
• Substance Abuse Services
• Job Training
Lastly, the City of Huntington Beach supports a variety of economic development activities
listed in the June 2017 Economic Development Implementation Plan, including retention and
creation of the job base, and proactivity attracting new business, industries, jobs, and _
investment to Huntington Beach.
The City will fully comply with Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act,
which helps foster local economic development and individual self-sufficiency. This set of
regulations require that to the greatest extent feasible, the City will provide job training,
employment, and contracting opportunities for low- or very low-income residents in
connection with housing and public construction projects.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of Huntington Beach's Community Enhancement Division plays a central role in
administering HUD grants, particularly CDBG and HOME funds. They are responsible for the
overall administration of HUD grants, including preparing key documents such as the
Consolidated Plan, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, Annual Action Plan, and
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). These documents are
essential for outlining the City's priorities, strategies, and outcomes related to housing and
community development.
While the City's existing delivery system provides important oversight and coordination,the
Community Enhancement Division also collaborates with external partners to enhance service
delivery.This includes working with the Homeless&Behavioral Health Division, Mercy House,
and development teams such as American Family Housing, National Core, and the County of
Orange to address homelessness and create affordable housing. This coordinated approach
ensures that resources are effectively leveraged and services are tailored to meet the needs
of the community.
•
Further, the City actively engages with a wide range of stakeholders, including non-profit
agencies, for-profit developers, advocacy groups, neighborhood leadership groups, and the
Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 64
private sector, to implement its five-year strategy outlined in the Consolidated Plan. This
collaborative effort ensures that the priorities and needs of low- to moderate-income
residents are addressed comprehensively and effectively. The City utilizes various channels
such as public notices, community workshops, the City's website, and other.forms of media
to disseminate information and gather input on carrying out the strategies outlined in the
Consolidated Plan.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
In an ongoing effort to bridge the gap of various programs and activities, the City has
developed partnerships and collaborations with local service providers and City departments
that have been instrumental in meeting the needs and demands of the homeless, low-income
individuals and families, and other special needs. The array of partners include, but are not
limited to: the Huntington Beach Police Department, Library Services, Community Services,
and Public Works Departments; Habitat for Humanity, Interval House, Mercy House, Families
Forward, Colette's Children's Home, AMCAL, Orange County Community Housing
Corporation, Jamboree Housing, National CORE, Community SeniorServ, AIDS Services
Foundation, Project Self Sufficiency,Alzheimer's Family Services, StandUp for Kids, Robyne's
Nest, Project Hope Alliance, the Fair Housing Foundation, the Orange County Housing
Authority, 2-1-1 Orange County, and OC Community Services (Orange County Continuum of
Care). During FY 2024/25,the City will continue to develop these partnerships.

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 $65,250
Project Hope Alliance On-Site Case Management for Homeless Youth $37,500
Robyne's Nest Housing for Homeless and At-Risk Youth $50,000
StandUP for Kids Street Outreach $23,000
and a secondary recommendation for funding allocation if the alternative funding for the City of
Huntington Beach Homeless Outreach Transportation vehicle cannot be not secured.
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 adiusting program funding levels if the City's
final CDBG allocation from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is higher or

lower than anticipated.
Motion by Board Member Lachman, second by Vice Chair Paris, to maintain the recommended
funding awards to the City of Huntington Beach Oakview FRC Drop-In Recreation Program and
Robyne's Nest and reduce funding to Project Hope Alliance and StandUp for Kids by equal share
(50/50)if CDBG funding received from HUD is less than anticipated.The Motion was unanimously
approved (6-0).
Motion by Board Member Inouye, second by Vice Chair Paris, to allocate increased funds by
equal share (50/50) only to the City of Huntington Beach Oakview.FRC Drop-In Recreation
Program and Robyne's Nest if CDBG funding received from HUD is greater than anticipated. No

AND HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS (HOME) PROGRAMS
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 7,2024,at 6:00 PM or shortly thereafter,the
City Council will hold a public hearing to approve the FY 2024/25 Annual Action Plan and will

Investment Partnerships(HOME)funds by the City of Huntington Beach(City). The meeting will
be held at the Huntington Beach Civic Center, City Council Chambers, located at 2000 Main
Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648.
FY 2024/25 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
The City must annually submit an Annual Action Plan(AAP) to the US Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD), which specifies the activities that will be undertaken to meet
the goals identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The AAP is due to HUD by May 15,
2024 and is subject to review and approval by HUD. The City is estimated to receive $1,171,668
in CDBG and $668,370 in HOME funds for FY 2024/25 from HUD. Unspent, prior year funds
and program income may also be available for reprogramming in FY 2024/25.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
CDBG funds are designed to assist the City in its efforts to provide decent housing, a suitable
living environment, and expand economic opportunities for primarily low- and moderate-income
persons. In FY 2024/25,Huntington Beach will have approximately$1.56 million in CDBG funds
made up of the following: $1,171,668 in estimated FY 2024/25 entitlement funds, $61,591 in
unallocated prior year carry-over funds, and an estimated $33,000 in program income. The City
may allocate a maximum of 15 percent, or $175,750, of the annual CDBG entitlement to public
service providers. Twenty percent, or $234,334, will be allocated to CDBG Program
Administration. The remainder of funds may be allocated to public facility and infrastructure,
housing, and code enforcement projects. CDBG public service funding allocations as
recommended to the City Council by the Citizen Participation Advisory Board(CPAB),as well as
staff recommendations on Capital Projects/Programs, for FY 2024/25 are detailed in the draft
FY24/25 Annual Action Plan available at the City's website at:http://huntingtonbeachca.gov/cdbg
The City Council has established the CPAB to review public service provider applications for
2024/25 CDBG Public Service funds. The CPAB held a public hearing on community needs on
January 18, 2024 and met on February 1 and February 22, 2024 to hear presentations from
applicants and prepare funding recommendations.The recommendations of CPAB were presented
at a Joint Study Session with City Council on March 19, 2024 and will be considered for inclusion
and adoption in the FY 2024/25 Annual Action Plan at the May 7, 2024 City Council public
hearing. At that time, the City Council will approve funding levels for Public Service,
Administration,Public Improvements,and Housing Projects and Programs as described within the
Annual Action Plan for 2024/25,and final documents will be submitted to HUD by May 15,2024.

local nonprofit groups - to fund a wide range of activities including building, acquiring, and/or
rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance

assistance programs, and for the development of affordable housing.
In addition to the FY 2024/25 HOME funding, the City has available HOME Administration
funding from prior years in the amount of$172,731.These funds will be used to administer HOME
activities, fair housing services, and prepare the upcoming 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and

Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has established three
predetermined objectives and outcomes designed to capture the range of community
Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 2
impacts that occur as a result of CDBG and HOME-funded programs. Each activity or program
funded with CDBG or HOME must fall under one of three objectives and one of three
outcomes.The framework of selecting these objectives and outcomes is known as HUD's CPD
Outcome Performance Measurement System. Here are the objectives and outcomes to
choose from:
Objectives
• Creating Suitable Living Environments relates to activities that are designed to benefit
communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment,
from physical problems with their environment to social issues.
• Providing Decent Housing covers the wide range of housing activities where the
purpose is to meet individual family or community housing needs.
• Creating Economic Opportunities applies to activities related to economic
development, commercial revitalization, or job creation.
Outcomes
• Availability/Accessibility applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public
services, public facilities, housing, or shelter available or accessible to low- and
moderate-income people, including,persons with4disabilities.
• 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
1. Households with Housing Problems -The need for affordable housing options in the
City continue to be high, based on the proportion of households in the City
experiencing cost burdens.
2. Homelessness - Homelessness continues to be a growing and pressing issue in
Huntington Beach and regionally. The City will continue to fund and support efforts
that address homelessness and serve persons experiencing homelessness.
3. Special Needs Populations - There are a number of special needs populations in the
City that need continued services and support. These Include, but are not limited to,
persons with severe mental illness, veterans, persons with substance abuse
addictions, and seniors.
4. Priority Community Services -There are a number of vital community services in the
City that need continued services and support. These community services-serve low-
to moderate-income households and include activities, such as youth and senior
services.
5. Priority Community and Public Facilities The City,recognizes the high.need for public
improvement activities throughout the City in order to provide for and maintain a safe
and decent environment for its citizens. Identified priority needs include, but are not
limited to, homeless shelters, parks and.recreational centers, youth centers, and
healthcare facilities:
6. Priority Infrastructure Improvements - The City recognizes the high need for public
improvement activities throughout the'Cityin order to provide for and maintain a safe
and decent environment for its citizens. Identified priority needs include, but are not
limited to, street and road.-improvements, sidewalk improvements, flood drainage
improvements, and tree planting. -
7. Other Housing and Community Development Needs-The City has identified the need
to provide support for the' HOME and CDBG programs in the City, as well as to
affirmatively further fair housing. These activities are vital to the continuation of the
City's efforts to administer these programs.
Evaluation of past performance
The City reviews and evaluates its performance through its annual submission of the
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). 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 2020/21-2024/25 Consolidated Plan timeframe.
• Since July 2020, the City has allocated close.to $3 million in HOME funds to provide
tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA)to low-and moderate-income households.This
assistance has been crucial in addressing housing affordability challenges faced by
vulnerable populations within the community. Over the first three years of the TBRA
program, 146 households received assistance, demonstrating the program's
effectiveness in supporting., households in need. By mid-year of FY 2023124, an
additional 52 households were enrolled in one of the three TBRA programs sponsored
by the City,further expanding the reach and impact of rental assistance initiatives.
• The Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants Program offers vital assistance to
eligible lower-income Huntington Beach households. The Rehabilitation Grant
Program provides one-time-grants of up..to.$lo,000 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 1,500 seniors have accessed services
provided through the Cityss 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 202o/21-2o24/25 Consolidated Plan period. In FY"2°23/24, the City allocated CDBG
funding to the Central Library Restrooms Project, which includes ADA improvements.
Upon conipletion, 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 FY2020/21, 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 4,00o persons had already benefited from the handicap-accessible curb cuts,
surpassing the 5-year goal of 2,000. An estimated 2,500 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. The goal of
economic development is for greater business retention, investment, and job growth
in Huntington Beach.
Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
As a condition to receiving CDBG and HOME funds,the City of Huntington Beach must engage
stakeholders and the public regarding the,community'sneeds in the areas of community
development and housing.To guide in this effort,the City has adopted a Citizen Participation
Plan which outlines the citizen participation and consultation efforts necessary for the
development of the Consolidated Plan,Annual Action Plan, and-CAPER.
All of Huntington 'Beach's citizens are encouraged to participate in the planning,
development, and implementation of the Action Plan.Two public hearings and several public
meetings with-the Citizen Participation Advisory Board are held by the City each year to
discuss issues related`to the Consolidated Plan as'well as the Action Plan.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies(91•215(I))•
The City of Huntington Beach developed its five-year (2ozo/z1 — 2024/25) Consolidated Plan
through a collaborative process that involved consultation with various stakeholders.These
stakeholders included the Orange County Housing Authority, City departments, health and
social service providers, and neighboring local governments. As part of this process, the City
sought input from housing, homeless, and social,service providers that are active within
Huntington Beach.
To gather input from these service providers,the City distributed a brief'survey to solicit their
perspectives on the services they offer, priority needs within the community, and any gaps in
services that exist. This survey served as a valuable, tool for capturing the insights and
expertise of organizations working directly with residents in need of housing assistance,
homeless services, and social support.
By engaging with a diverse range of stakeholders and"seeking,.input through surveys and
consultations, the City ensured that its Consolidated Plan was informed by the experiences
and perspectives of those directly involved in addressing housing and social service needs in
Huntington Beach. This collaborative approach helps to ensure that the Consolidated Plan
accurately reflects the community's priorities and guides the allocation of resources to
address key challenges effectively:

homeless persons,(particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children,veterans,and unaccompanied youth)and persons at risk of homelessness

(CoC), which is led and coordinated by the Orange County Health Care Agency. This
partnership between public and nonprofit entities aims to ensure comprehensive and regional
coordination of efforts and resources to address homelessness and support individuals at risk
of homelessness throughout Orange County.
As part of the CoC, the City's Homeless Outreach Case Manager collaborates with other
stakeholders to promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness.

Hearing at least 15 days prior to the hearing:provides residents with ample opportunity to
engage and provide input on community needs. Additionally, making public notices, staff
reports,and Action Plans accessible on the City's website enhances transparency and enables
residents to review relevant information at their convenience.

Development Needs Survey (in English and Spanish) in which,the respondent was asked to
rank the level of need:fora particularservice,`capital improvement,and public benefit. A total
of 417 responses were received,and helped shape the outcome of the Plan's Five-Year Goals

EXPECTED RESOURCES
AP-15 Expected Resources — 91.22o(c) (0,2)
Huntington Beach is an entitlement jurisdiction and as such, will receive approximately
$1,171,668 in CDBG entitlement funds, will have approximately $60,013 in prior year CDBG
funds carried forward, and is estimated to receive around $33,00o in program income for a
total of$1,264,681.The City does not have any income from Afloat-funded activities or surplus
from urban renewal settlements, sale of real property, prior period adjustments, loans
outstanding or written off,CDBG-acquired property availablelor 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 approximately$668,370. Prior year
unallocated funds of $467,361 and approximately $100,0'00 in program income will also be
available, for a total of $1,235,731 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`2019: 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 2021-2o29
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
Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 21
personnel as part of the City's Homeless Taskforce effort.
The City will pursue competitive public and private grants for the development and
preservation of programs, housing, and services and work to support legislation that
promotes funding for future affordable housing during the Consolidated Plan period.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Federal funds play a crucial role in implementing the Consolidated Plan.Local,private and non-
federal funds are usually insufficient to meet the heavy demand for housing and services in
our community. Agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds leverage significant financial and
in-kind support from individual community members,foundations, and private organizations
that 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,CDBGCV funds vvith:iocal monies to fund the operations
of the Navigation Center, an emergency homeless shelter that was constructed to provide a
safe place for homeless persons to live during the COVID-1g pandemic.
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 3o, 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 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 202o/2i-2024/25 Consolidated Plan.

Estimate the number of extremely low-income,low-income,and moderate-income families
to whom the jurisdiction will provide affordable housing as defined by HOME 91.215(b)
In FY 2024125, the City of Huntington Beach will continue addressing housing affordability
challenges by providing tenant-based rental assistance(TBRA)to various households in need.
Specifically,the City plans to allocate HOME funding for TBRA through contracts with Families
Forward and Mercy House to assist 15 homeless, senior, Veteran, and/or family households
each. Additionally, a third TBRA program will be available to senior households requiring
assistance with mobile home space rents, with the Action-Plan proposing to aid 25 mobile
home residents during the fiscal year.
Furthermore, in FY 2020/21, the City allocated $2,830,698 in HOME funds to support the
Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project situated at 18431 Beach Boulevard. This project,
developed in collaboration with the local Community Housing Development Organization
(CHDO), Jamboree Housing Corporation, will feature a total of 42 one-Bedroom/one-bath
units and one two-bedroom/one-bath Manager's unit. Of these, nine units will be HOME-
restricted, contributing to the City's affordable housing,inventory. Upon completion, this
project will fulfill 45%of the City's five-year goal to provide 20 new affordable housing units.
Looking ahead to FY 2024/25, ,Huntington.Beach has earmarked the necessary 15% CHDO
allocation for the development of additional affordable housing.The specific project for this
allocation is yet to be determined.

PROJECTS
AP-35 Projects- 91.22o(d)
The City plans to undertake the following CDBG and HOME funded activities during FY 2024/25
to address its priority housing and community development needs. All proposed activities are
eligible and meet program service targets.Additionally,the City of Huntington Beach has not
exceeded any of its maximum allocations for CDBG public services, CDBG administration, or
HOME administration.With an estimated CDBG allocation of$1 171,668,the City of Huntington
Beach will allocate$175,75o for public services,representing 1.5%of the CDBG entitlement.This
Action Plan proposes to allocate the following to 2024/25 public services: Stand Up for Kids
Street Outreach ($23,000); Robyne's Nest ($50,o0o); Project Hope Alliance ($37,5oo); and
Children's Bureau($65,250).CDBG regulations also,permit a maximum allocation of 2o%of the
annual entitlement, or$234,334,for CDBG administration activities.The•City has allocated this
entire amount to CDBG Administration. Lastly, a maximum of 10% of the annual HOME
entitlement, $66,837, will be allocated to HOME Program Administration in FY.2o24/25.
Consistent with the City's Citizen Participation Plan for,2o2o/21-2024/25, the Annual Action
Plan may contain a list of "back-up" projects to be activated during the given program year
due to one or more of the following circumstances:
• Additional funding becomes available\during the program year from the close out of
current projects that were completed under budget.
• More program income becomes available than originally estimated and budgeted in
the Annual Action Plan. •
• If, during the development of the Annual Action Plan, the City of Huntington Beach
has not definitively-,decided'which public facility or infrastructure improvement
projectto fund,the City may opt to categorize each option as a"back-up"project until
further•project and budget planning is performed. Initiation and funding of one or
more of the "back-up" projects would not constitute a substantial amendment as
defined in the Citizen Participation Plan. Preferential consideration will be given to
those projects that demonstrate the ability to spend CDBG funds in a timely manner,
consistent with the City's goal to meet CDBG timeliness rules,as well as those projects
Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 29
that meet the needs of the community as defined in the Consolidated Plan.

Describe the reasons for-allocation priorities and any obstacles`to addressing underserved
needs
The Housing and Homeless Needs':Assessment,of the Consolidated Plan discusses housing
need by income.category. Income levels identified are 1) extremely low-income; 2) very low-
income;,,and:3) low--and moderate-income-households. Based on HUD recommendations,
general relative priorities for funding will be as.follows:
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 andother 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.

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,_3 2,395 individuals, or 69.44%, fall within the low- to
moderate-income bracket.

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 giventwenty-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 PITare.still not available:
The February 2022 PIT, count enumerated 5,718 homeless individuals in Orange County,
reflecting a-decrease of almost 17% from the 2o19 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 thejurisdictions one-year goals andactions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless (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 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 OG 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, StandUp for Kids aims to assist 35 youth with the allocated
CDBG funding of$23,000.
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 forstability 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,

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
In addressing the ernergency.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 1725i 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$1,8o4,7o4`in HOME-ARP funds will primarily support the
provision of supportive services during Year 5 of the project. In May 2024,the-HB Oasis project
will transition to permanent supportivehousing,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 theirAfamilies,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 familiessto 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,2o14.
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 ancr systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health
facilities,foster care and other r 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 2024/25, 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- 91.220(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,densitiies 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. 2021-202g Housing Element specifically

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As a means of better protecting children and families against lead poisoning, in 1999 HUD
instituted revised lead-based paint regulations focused around the following five activities:
• Notification
• Lead Hazard Evaluation
• Lead Hazard Reduction
• Ongoing Maintenance
• Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level
The City has implemented HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires
federally funded rehabilitation projects to address lead hazards. Lead-based paint abatement
is part of the City's Residential Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of
Huntington Beach 2024/25 Annual Action Plan 62
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.
