This annual report, called the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), documents the City's use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds for the recently completed Fiscal Year (FY 2024-25). The CAPER must be submitted to HUD by September 30. Financial Impact: There is no financial impact associated with this action. This report summarizes expenditures already made. Recommended Action: A) Adopt the FY 2024-25 CAPER for CDBG and HOME funds; and B) Authorize the City Manager to transmit the report to HUD by September 30, 2025. Alternative Action(s): HUD requires submission of the CAPER by September 30 to maintain eligibility for CDBG and HOME funds. Staff does not recommend any alternatives.

HOME is the principal City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 4 Printed on 9/10/2025 powered by LegistarTM 208 File#: 25-720 MEETING DATE: 9/16/2025 federal program providing local governments with grants to expand the availability of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents. The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan describes the City's proposed use of CDBG and HOME funds to address housing and non-housing community development needs of low- and moderate-income residents during the five-year plan period. To achieve the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan, each year the City prepares an Annual Action Plan that outlines the projects, programs, and activities that will be implemented. The current Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan are available for public review on the City's website at https://www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/cdbg. After the conclusion of each year, the City must prepare a CAPER summarizing the expenditure of funds and the accomplishments for that year. These plans and reports are required to be prepared and submitted to HUD to remain eligible for federal entitlement grant funds. The draft FY 2024-25 CAPER (Attachment 1) has been prepared in a HUD-prescribed format containing the required information. Per federal regulations, the CAPER was made available for public review and comment. A notice was published in The Wave on August 28, 2025, inviting public comment and participation at the City Council meeting. Following this 15-day review period, the CAPER must be approved by the City Council and submitted to HUD by September 30. In FY 2024-25, the City Council provided funding to four nonprofit organizations that delivered a range of services benefitting lower-income Huntington Beach residents. Funds were also allocated to City programs for housing repairs and improvements, special code enforcement, and emergency rental assistance for lower-income residents. The program accomplishments summarized below represent key highlights of the City's CDBG and HOME programs. For a comprehensive overview of all accomplishments for the year, please refer to the attached CAPER. Public Services Accomplishments (CDBG) Federal regulations allow up to 15 percent of annual CDBG funds to be used for public service programs. In FY 2024-25, the City Council allocated the maximum amount of $168,179 for public service programs administered by social service agencies and City departments that assisted youth and homeless individuals. Examples of public service program accomplishments during FY 2024-25 include: • After-school enrichment activities and healthy development programs for 150 children (achieving the enrollment goal of 150 children). • Homelessness prevention and assistance services were provided to 170 residents, compared to a goal of 121 individuals. Capital Accomplishments (CDBG) The City Council allocated $947,072 to CDBG capital projects to assist lower-income households. City of Huntington Beach Page 2 of 4 Printed on 9/10/2025 powered by LegistarTM 209 File#: 25-720 MEETING DATE: 9/16/2025 The program accomplishments include: • 20 housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income residents were rehabilitated, compared to a goal of 13. • Two code enforcement officers conducted proactive inspections and compliance assistance at 1,008 housing units serving lower-income residents, exceeding the annual goal of 600 units. • Infrastructure improvements in Maintenance Zone 2 resulted in the installation/stabilization of 17 curbs and ramps at various locations, providing access to over 2,750 people. • Accessible restroom improvements were completed at the City's Central Library in FY 2024- 25, with an estimated 24,225 people anticipated to benefit annually. Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (HOME) The City Council dedicated $400,000 in HOME funds to the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program, which helps prevent homelessness by providing short-term rental and utility assistance to lower-income households. The program is administered by Families Forward and Mercy House. In FY 2024-25, a total of 40 households received emergency assistance through TBRA. In November 2022, the City Council also approved the Mobile Home TBRA Program, which provides similar assistance specifically for lower-income seniors living in mobile homes who are struggling with rising space rents. Unlike the regular TBRA program, the mobile home program is administered directly by Housing Division staff. In FY 2024-25, the City allocated $446,252 in HOME funds to this program. During the year, 22 senior households received assistance, bringing the total number of participating households to 81 since the program launched in April 2023. Navigation Center(HOME-American Rescue Plan) In 2021, as part of the federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) pandemic relief legislation, the City received a special one-time allocation of approximately $2.2 million in HOME-ARP funds. These funds are intended to help communities respond to homelessness and housing instability. Since then, the City has used HOME-ARP funding to support operations at the Huntington Beach Navigation Center. Eligible activities have included housing navigation services, daily meals, transportation support such as shuttle leases, fuel and vehicle repairs, and client transportation assistance (e.g., bus passes, shuttle rides, or similar support). In FY 2024-25, the City expended about $1,061,909 in HOME-ARP funding on these activities, along with approximately $20,596 in administrative costs for City staff. Through these efforts, Mercy House, the Navigation Center operator, assisted 409 unduplicated homeless individuals during the year. The remaining $250,000 in HOME-ARP funds will be used in FY 2025-26 to continue eligible activities and provide ongoing operating support at the Navigation Center.

The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, implements projects and awards grants to nonprofit, for-profit, or public organizations for projects in furtherance of the adopted Consolidated Plan. The CDBG and HOME programs generally provide a range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income Huntington Beach residents. The CAPER discusses affordable housing outcomes, homelessness and special needs activities, non-housing community development activities, and other actions in furtherance of the City's Annual Action Plan projects and programs for Fiscal Year(FY)2024/25 (July 1, 2024,to June 3o, 2025). For the 2024/25 fiscal year, the City received $1,121,195 of CDBG funds from HUD, which were combined in the Action Plan with $619,433.73 of unexpended CDBG funds from prior years, and $116,879.82 in program income receipts for a total investment of$1,857,508.55. In HOME funding, h i w awarded 8 28 coupled with 2 62 inprioryear unspent funds,the City was a s $53 ,3 , S54 ,7 P and new program income received in the amount of $17,097, made $1,098,187 available for the fiscal year. This investment of CDBG and HOME funds was a catalyst for positive change in the community. Together with other federal, state and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City and its partners to: • Provide fair housing services to 333 residents. • Provide homelessness prevention and assistance services to S79 residents. • Provide public services to 150 children. • Provide tenant-based rental assistance and housing operation services to 62 eligible households. • Provide 20 homeowners with assistance in the form of grants and loans to make significant housing repairs and improvements. • Remove architectural barriers by upgrading sidewalks and curbs and providing improved and accessible restrooms at the City's Central Library benefiting 26,975 persons with disabilities. 2024/25 CAPER 2 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) In 2021, HUD allocated $2,240,675 to the City of Huntington Beach under the HOME-American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP), aimed at reducing homelessness and increasing housing stability. To date, $2,19o,675 has been dedicated to supportive services at the Navigation Center,with an additional$50,00o allocated for program administration.During the fiscal year 2024/25,the Navigation Center provided supportive services to 409 unduplicated individuals, including 18 Veterans and 73 elderly persons. This continued investment reflects the City's ongoing commitment to addressing homelessness and enhancing housing stability. The figure below illustrates the City's priority needs as well as the strategies implemented to address these priorities, as outlined in the City's Five-Year Consolidated Plan. 2024/25 CAPER 3 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Priority Need 5-Year Implementing Goals and Projects/Programs Households with Housing Problems Sustain and Strengthen Neighborhoods ➢ Owner-Occupied Single Family,Condo,and Mobile Home Rehabilitation Grant Program(4o housing units) ➢ Owner-Occupied Single-Family Rehabilitation Loan Program(io housing units) ➢ Housing Rehabilitation Loan Administration(5o housing units) ➢ Special Code Enforcement Program(300o housing units) Preserve Existing and Create New Affordable Housing ➢ Acquisition/Rehabilitation/New Construction(2o housing units) ➢ Tenant-Based Rental Assistance(ioo households) Homelessness Support Efforts to Address Homelessness ➢ Homeless Outreach Program(2,00o persons) ➢ StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Program(56o persons) ➢ Robyne's Nest Housing for Homeless High Schoolers(45 persons) ➢ Navigation Center Operations Program(too persons) Special Needs Populations Support Agencies that Assist Special Needs Populations ➢ Senior Services Care Management Program(825 persons) ➢ Oakview Family Literacy Program(95o persons) Priority Community Services Increase Access to Community Services for Low-and Moderate- Income Persons ➢ Children's Bureau(2,00o persons) Priority Community and Public Preserve Existing and Create New Community and Public Services Facilities ➢ Various Community and Public Facility Projects(5,000 persons) Priority Infrastructure Provide Needed Infrastructure Improvements Improvements > Various Public Infrastructure Improvement Projects (2,00o persons) Other Housing and Community Planning for Housing and Community Development Development Needs ➢ CDBG Program Administration ➢ HOME Program Administration ➢ Fair Housing Foundation 2024/25 CAPER 4 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-o5 - Goals and Outcomes Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.

Consistent with the City's Priority Needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan, the City allocated majority of its CDBG funding to non-housing community development activities (public facilities, infrastructure, and services), preceded by the community's housing needs and program administration funded by both CDBG and HOME. The City's Priority Needs are a product of the Needs Assessment, Housing Market Analysis, public input, and community needs survey — all conducted during the development of the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan's five-year priorities for assistance with CDBG and HOME funds also takes into consideration several factors such as: 1)those households most in need of housing and community development assistance, as determined through the Consolidated Plan needs assessment, consultation, and public participation process; 2)which activities will best meet the needs of those identified households; and 3) the extent of other non-federal resources that can be utilized to leverage/match CDBG and HOME funds to address these needs. Overall,the projects and programs approved in the FY 2024/25 Annual Action Plan effectively maximized the impact of the available resources. Under the category of Affordable Housing, the City allocated funds for homeowner rehabilitation and tenant-based rental assistance.The City aimed to fund and complete 13 rehabilitation projects within the year and overachieved this target by completing 2o. Additionally, the City supported three tenant-based rental assistance programs, including one specifically for senior mobile home occupants requiring help with space rents. The original goal was to assist 6o households, but the City surpassed this objective by providing assistance to 62 households, achieving 103%of the goal. The City did not set any goals for the creation of new rental units in FY 2024/25. However, during FY 2020/21, the City allocated $2.8 million to the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project,which was completed during the fiscal year. In collaboration with Jamboree Housing Corporation, the City developed the site at 18431 Beach Boulevard. The project features 42 one-bedroom/one-bath units, one two-bedroom/one-bath manager's unit, ground-level and subterranean parking,conference and office rooms,resident lounges,and outdoor amenities such as a courtyard and a dog park.The project incorporates nine units with HOME-restricted rents, 21 units designated for Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) eligible individuals experiencing homelessness, and 12 units for non-MHSA senior households facing homelessness.The project was completed in January 2025. The last program under the category of Affordable Housing is the Special Code Enforcement 2024/25 CAPER 10 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Program.The City had a goal to inspect 60o housing units under State and local health,safety, and building codes, and met 168%of the goal. Public service allocations amounted to the maximum allowable under CDBG regulations (15 percent of the annual allocation). The City allocated $65,250 to the Children's Bureau after school program; $19,215 to StandUp for Kids Street Outreach; $50,00o to Robyne's Nest; and $33,714 to Project Hope Alliance. In its efforts to address homelessness,the City significantly exceeded its goal by assisting 579 individuals out of the proposed 121, achieving over 478% of the target. This support was provided through programs such as StandUp for Kids Street Outreach, Robyne's Nest, Project Hope Alliance, and the Navigation Center. Additionally, under the goal to increase access to community services for low- and moderate-income persons, the Children's Bureau met its target of 15o by providing free after-school programming to children in the Oak View neighborhood. One non-housing community development project was funded in FY 2024/25 -the ADA Curb Cuts in Maintenance Zone 2 project.The Project involved removing curbs and reconstructing them as ramps to improve accessibility for wheelchair users and individuals with visual impairments.Completed at the end of FY 2024/25,this initiative has enhanced access to street intersections for 2,75o individuals. Additionally,the Central Library,located at 7111 Talbert Avenue,was completed in FY 2024/25. This 2023124 project had restrooms from the 197os that did not meet current ADA accessibility standards. Given that the library serves hundreds of visitors each week, the City undertook improvements to remove architectural barriers and enhance restroom accessibility for all individuals, including those with disabilities. It is estimated that 24,225 disabled persons in Huntington Beach benefit from the restroom improvements. As a reminder, results may vary from year to year based on the timing of funding and project completion. Affordable housing, public facilities, and public infrastructure projects typically span multiple years. 2024/25 CAPER 11 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-bo - Racial and Ethnic Composition of Families Assisted Describe the families assisted (including the racial and ethnic status of families assisted).

However,for this fiscal year, such projects were limited to the removal of architectural barriers to individuals with disabilities. These accessibility improvements benefit persons with disabilities citywide. A total of six percent of the expended funds were allocated to code enforcement activities, which were conducted within a specific target area designated as the Special Code Enforcement Area, developed in accordance with HUD requirements. The City carried out a visual(windshield)survey of CDBG-eligible areas to identify properties,businesses,parkways, alleys, and structures that met the City's definition of "deteriorated or deteriorating." This survey revealed that low- and moderate-income areas within the boundaries of Bolsa Chica Street to the west, Bolsa Avenue to the north, Brookhurst Street to the east, and Atlanta Avenue to the south exhibited the highest levels of property deterioration.Consequently,this area was designated as the Special Code Enforcement Target Area.The area includes several census tracts and is home to 46,65o residents, of whom 32,395, or 69.44%, are classified as low-or moderate-income. 2024/25 CAPER 14 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) SPECIAL CODE ENFORCEMENT TARGET AREA TOTAL POPULATION V.

The City is mandated to provide a 25 percent match for all HOME funds drawn down for HOME activities, excluding those funded by program income or administrative funds. To meet this requirement, the City has historically leveraged resources from other local funds, such as former redevelopment tax increment and,more recently, bond financing, in conjunction with HOME-assisted affordable housing acquisition and rehabilitation. Due to these past leveraging efforts,the City has accumulated a surplus of match credits. As of the end of the 2024 Federal fiscal year(October 1,2023—September 3o,2024),the City's HOME match liability is $150,476.19. To fulfill this requirement, the City will utilize its surplus of match credits from previous years.The match carry-over surplus from prior years amounts to $3,753,786.76. After applying the required match for 2024 the remaining excess match to be carried forward into the next Federal fiscal year(October 1, 2024 — September 3o, 2025) will be$3,603,310.56.

The City allocated $846,252 in HOME funds to operate three tenant-based rental assistance programs. Families Forward received $200,00o to assist households with children. With an enrollment goal of 15 households, the program exceeded expectations by serving 23 families by year-end. Mercy House was also awarded $200,00o to support individuals who were homeless or at risk of homelessness, including veterans and victims of domestic violence. Their goal was to assist 15 households, and they surpassed this target by serving i7. The third program, the Mobile Home Rental Assistance Program, was allocated $446,252 to help senior 2024/25 CAPER 20 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) mobile homeowners with space rents.While the program proposed to serve 3o households, 22 households were enrolled by the end of FY 2024/25. In addition to tenant-based rental assistance programs, the City completed a 43-unit senior affordable housing development at 18431 Beach Boulevard, known as the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Apartments(Pelican Harbor).The project received $2.8 million in HOME funds in FY 2020/21 and approximately$10 million in Project-Based Vouchers from the Orange County Housing Authority. Designed for households earning 3o-5o percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), 21 of the 33 Project-Based Vouchers are reserved for Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) eligible individuals experiencing homelessness with incomes at or below 3o percent AMI. Twelve vouchers are allocated to non-MHSA senior households at or below 3o percent AMI, and nine units are restricted to households earning up to 5o percent AMI.The development consists of a four-story building with a one-level subterranean parking garage, featuring 42 one-bedroom units and one two-bedroom manager's unit. Construction was completed, and leasing began in January 2025. Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans. The Huntington Beach 2020/21-2024125 Consolidated Plan estimated that it could develop 20 housing units through acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction by the end of the Plan period (June 3o, 2025). Completion of the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project fulfilled nearly half of this five-year goal. However, due to the City's high rental costs, the need for tenant-based rental assistance has become more urgent than the development of additional units. In response,the City has prioritized funding rental assistance programs and has formally requested a waiver of the 15%CHDO reservation requirement to more effectively address local housing needs. Future Annual Action Plans will reinforce the City's focus on rental assistance as the most effective way to respond to the community's housing challenges.While the development of new affordable housing remains a priority, the completion of the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project shows that unit production goals can be met gradually over time.At the same time, the overwhelming demand for tenant-based rental assistance highlights the need to direct more resources toward helping residents with immediate housing costs. Future Annual Action Plans will continue to balance long-term housing development with short-term rental assistance. Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine 2024/25 CAPER 21 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) the eligibility of the activity.

Contributing factors include a shortage of affordable housing, increasing poverty rates, reduced subsidies, substance abuse issues, the de- institutionalization of the mentally ill, and a rising number of individuals who may view homelessness as a lifestyle choice. To address this issue, Orange County conducts a biennial enumeration of both sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals in a 24-hour period. This effort, known as the Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, is required by Congress for all communities receiving U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)funding for homeless programs. HUD mandates that the PIT Count take place during the last ten days of January. For 2024, the count was conducted by the County of Orange and the Orange County Continuum of Care, with the sheltered count taking place on the night of January 22, 2024, and the unsheltered count occurring from the morning of January 23 through January 25, 2024. The 2024 PIT Count identified 7,322 homeless individuals in Orange County, marking a significant 28% increase from the 2022 count, which recorded 5,718 individuals. Specifically in Huntington Beach, the count revealed 433 total homeless persons, with 173 classified as unsheltered and 26o as sheltered. This represents an increase from the 2022 figures, where there were 33o total homeless individuals —188 unsheltered and 142 sheltered. 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. 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 behavioral health support. Although the Deputy Director's position has evolved since February 2022, the City continues to staff and support homelessness services. 2024/25 CAPER 23 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) III 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 22 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 2o23 and has assisted with 56 Disabling Condition Assessments.The therapist will continue to support mental health services on an as-needed basis. The Homeless & Behavioral Health System also incorporated homeless outreach social workers who actively engaged with unhoused and at-risk of being unhoused individuals, families, veterans, and seniors. Social workers offered support by linking individuals to resources, service providers, and aiding in securing necessary documents for County of Orange housing programs. They maintained 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 ensured that individuals received 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 continued its support for outreach and assessment of homeless individuals through the StandUp for Kids Street Outreach, Robyne's Nest, and Project Hope Alliance Programs. StandUp for Kids operates a Street Outreach program where volunteer staff actively patrol the streets to locate and support homeless and at-risk youth aged 12 to 24 who are either unsheltered or unstably housed. The program provided crucial services including food, clothing,hygiene items, and survival kits. In addition to these essentials,the program offered medical assistance and compassionate mentoring aimed at helping young individuals 2024/25 CAPER 24 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) transition from homelessness to a more stable and hopeful future. In FY 2024/25,StandUp for Kids received$19,215 in CDBG funding and assisted 24 youth with their homelessness services. In FY 2024/25, Robyne's Nest was awarded $50,00o to continue its vital work in supporting homeless youth in Huntington Beach.The program plays a crucial role in assessing the needs of homeless youth and helping them become stable and productive citizens. Robyne's Nest focuses on identifying homeless youth, evaluating their individual needs, and developing personalized plans aimed at stability and success. The program provides a broad array of services, including academic support, financial guidance, and life skills development. This support encompasses assistance with housing resources, essential needs like food and clothing, and educational aid such as tutoring, providing Chromebooks, school supplies, and covering fees. Furthermore, the program offers comprehensive support for the health and well-being of the youth, including counseling,therapy, mentoring, and life skills classes. Over the past fiscal year, Robyne's Nest assisted 25 homeless youth, surpassing its goal of 2o. In FY 2024/25, Project Hope Alliance (PHA) received $33,714 in CDBG funding to provide outreach and assessments for homeless youth. PHA offered comprehensive, wraparound support to 121 homeless individuals through its dedicated case managers. These case managers were available around the clock, allowing them to build meaningful relationships and address both expected and emergent needs or crises as they arose. Their support encompassed a range of services,including academic guidance,social-emotional mentorship, transportation,access to technology,basic needs, and referrals for additional resources.This approach ensured that the youth received the tailored assistance necessary to help them stabilize and succeed. The City continued to support the operations and services at the Navigation Center in FY 2024/25. Located at 17642 Beach Boulevard, the Navigation Center, which opened in December 2020, offers 174 beds for overnight shelter and provides direct access to essential services aimed at helping individuals experiencing homelessness move towards housing stability. Upon seeking assistance at the Navigation Center, individuals are first assessed by the City's Homeless Task Force. During the fiscal year, the Center provided support to a total of 817 homeless persons with funding from a special allocation of HOME funds from the American Rescue Plan(HOME-ARP)Act awarded in previous years. These combined efforts reflect the City's commitment to addressing homelessness and facilitating pathways to long-term housing solutions. 2024/25 CAPER 25 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons In FY 2020/21, the City of Huntington Beachpartnered with MercyHouse to launch the g Navigation Center, an emergency homeless shelter. This facility has received significant federal funding to support its operations, including $0,408,395 from CDBG, $2,028,847 from CDBG-CV (for activities related to COVID-19 prevention, preparation, and response), and $2,090,675 from HOME-ARP (unspent funds will be carried over into FY 2025/26). The Navigation Center can shelter up to 174 adults and couples under normal conditions. In FY 2024/25,the Center provided emergency shelter to 409 individuals using HOME-ARP funding. In FY 2021/22,the City initiated the HB Oasis project in collaboration with the State of California Homekey Program,the County of Orange, National CORE,and American Family Housing.This project involved acquiring and rehabilitating the former Quality Inn & Suites motel at 17251 Beach Boulevard to address homelessness in the region. HB Oasis served as interim housing for up to 62 individuals and households in Orange County's Central Service Planning Area. It provided not only transitional housing but also comprehensive property management and residential support services. The focus was on trauma-informed, evidence-based operations • to support residents'reintegration into the community through robust case management and connections to permanent housing solutions. In May 2024, the HB Oasis project transitioned to permanent supportive housing. This transition involved renovating the individual units to include kitchenettes and utilizing project- based vouchers to support long-term housing stability for its residents. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals);and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care(such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health,social services,employment,education,or youth needs To prevent homelessness and support at-risk populations, Huntington Beach actively participated in the Orange County Continuum of Care System. This system is designed to provide assistance to individuals at risk of becoming homeless,ensuring a network of support for those in need. In FY 2024/25 the City maintained its commitment to supporting families through rental 2024/25 CAPER 26 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) assistance programs. Families Forward received $200,00o to assist households with children, aiming to provide critical support to those in need. Additionally, $200,00o was awarded to Mercy House to provide assistance to income-eligible households, veterans, and victims of domestic violence. Finally, $446,252 was allocated to the Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Program to help senior mobile homeowners manage the rising costs of space rents.Across all tenant-based rental assistance programs,a total of 62 households were assisted during the fiscal year. Although the City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding and therefore is not required to develop a discharge coordination policy, it remains committed to addressing this issue. The City will continue to work with the Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force to develop and refine its discharge coordination policy. 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 its ongoing efforts to address homelessness and prevent those at risk from falling into homelessness, the City of Huntington Beach has implemented several strategic initiatives aimed at assisting various populations, including chronically homeless individuals, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth. The City's approach focuses on helping these individuals transition to permanent housing and independent living, reducing the duration of homelessness, facilitating access to affordable housing, and preventing recurrence of homelessness among those who have recently been housed. Key efforts include actively securing both short-term and long-term funding,partnering with experienced service providers to leverage additional resources, and creating or securing affordable housing. Additionally, the City provides comprehensive case management services and engages in street outreach to connect homeless individuals to available resources. For example, the conversion of the former Quality Inn Hotel into the Huntington Beach Oasis project provided 62 non-congregate transitional units, offering extensive wraparound supportive services. These services addressed various challenges such as mental and physical health issues, substance use, trauma, and employment barriers. The success of this initiative led to its conversion to permanent housing in May 2024. 2024/25 CAPER 27 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Similarly,the Navigation Center,supported by over$3.5 million in CDBG and CDBG-CV funding and nearly $2.2 million in HOME-ARP funding, offers substantial wraparound services to help individuals transition from emergency shelter to more stable housing. Services will continue in FY 2025/26 until all unspent HOME-ARP funding is expended. Also, the City is planning to repurpose the Navigation Center property into a permanent navigation center and affordable housing development project in the future. In June 2024, the City Council approved an 18- month Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with Jamboree Housing to explore the development of a permanent supportive housing project titled "Pathways." The Pathways Project would replace the temporary Navigation Center with a four-level permanent facility featuring 70 housing units,and supportive services integrated into the design.The project depends heavily on securing grants and funding,and full construction readiness could take two or more years. Finally, the City continued to prioritize tenant-based rental assistance, providing subsidies to 62 households in FY 2024/25 to support those in need. 2024/25 CAPER 28 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-3o - Public Housing Actions taken to address the needs of public housing. The City of Huntington Beach does not have any public housing developments. However, it benefits from the services of the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA), which manages Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8)for residential units within Huntington Beach. Currently, 644 households in Huntington Beach receive Section 8 vouchers from OCHA, including 12o families, 115 disabled individuals, and 409 elderly households. Additionally, OCHA administers various other voucher programs, including 44 Continuum of Care,13 Family Self-Sufficiency, 22 Family Unification,one Non-Elderly Disabled,114 Portability, 81 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing, and 56 Emergency Housing Vouchers. Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership. Not applicable. Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs. Not applicable. 2024/25 CAPER 29 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-35 - Other Actions Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs,every effort is made to remove barriers to affordable housing through agreements with for-profit and 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. Additionally, as part of the City's Housing Element update, the City must assess and to the extent feasible, mitigate, its governmental constraints to housing for lower- and moderate- income households and persons with disabilities. The Housing Element addresses the City's provisions for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing. The following programs in the City's 2013-2021 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: Multi-family Acquisition/Rehabilitation through Non-Profit Developers: Acquire, rehabilitate, and establish affordability covenants on 8o rental units. Residential and Mixed-Use Sites Inventory: Maintain current inventory of vacant and underutilized development sites and provide developers with information on incentives. Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan: Facilitate development through flexible, form-based standards and streamlined processing. Encourage affordable housing by requiring inclusionary units to be provided on-site, or within the Specific Plan, and providing additional incentives for increased percentages of affordable units. Inclusionary Housing Program and Housing Trust Fund: Continue implementation and re-evaluate Ordinance to provide consistency with case law and market conditions. 2024/25 CAPER 30 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Establish in-lieu fee amount for projects between 10-3o units. Affordable Housing Development Assistance: Provide financial and regulatory assistance in support of affordable housing. Provide information on incentives to development community. Affordable Housing Density Bonus: Continue to offer density bonus incentives as a means of enhancing the economic feasibility of affordable housing development. Development Fee Assistance: Continue to offer fee reductions to incentivize affordable housing. Specify the waiver of t00% of application processing fees in the Code for projects with lo%extremely low-income units. Residential Processing Procedures: Provide non-discretionary development review within the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan. Adopt streamlined review procedures for multi-family development on a citywide basis. Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. To address obstacles in meeting underserved needs, the City of Huntington Beach has developed and implemented a range of strategies, activities, and funding approaches to benefit its residents in the areas of housing and community development. Recognizing that inadequate funding is a significant barrier, the City has actively sought additional resources and explored alternative funding sources to enhance its ability to address these needs. By pursuing innovative and creative solutions, the City has worked to make its service delivery systems more comprehensive. This effort includes maintaining and expanding partnerships with both for-profit and non-profit organizations to leverage additional resources and expertise. The City has effectively utilized HOME and CDBG funds to focus on crucial areas such as affordable rental housing, tenant-based rental assistance, and homeowner rehabilitation programs. Federal funds have also been directed toward addressing specific housing needs, including improving availability, ensuring housing conditions meet standards, and promoting fair housing practices to prevent homelessness. In addition to housing,the City has allocated federal funds to community development projects, including infrastructure improvements, public facility enhancements, and code enforcement initiatives. Moreover, the City is collaborating with neighboring jurisdictions to adopt a regional 2024/25 CAPER 31 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) approach to addressing underserved needs, aiming to create a more coordinated and effective response to regional challenges. Through these comprehensive efforts, the City strives to overcome obstacles and better meet the needs of its underserved populations. Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. To protect children and families from lead poisoning, the City of Huntington Beach has implemented HUD's revised lead-based paint regulations, which focus on five key activities: Notification, Lead Hazard Evaluation, Lead Hazard Reduction, Ongoing Maintenance, and Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Levels. In accordance with HUD Lead-Based Paint Regulations(Title X),the City ensures that federally funded rehabilitation projects address lead hazards comprehensively. Lead-based paint abatement is an integral part of the City's Housing Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Affordable Rental Housing Program. For units selected for rehabilitation within rental housing projects, lead testing is conducted unless the property is statutorily exempt. If lead is detected,appropriate elimination or encapsulation measures are taken, with costs covered either by the project developer or through CDBG or HOME funds, as suitable. To further reduce lead-based paint hazards in existing housing, all housing rehabilitation projects that receive federal funding are tested for lead and asbestos. If a lead-based paint hazard is identified, the City or its sub-grantee engages a lead consultant to carry out abatement or interim controls based on the consultant's findings.Tenants are informed about the test results and the clearance report. In the Section 8 program, County staff conduct annual inspections of both existing and newly available units. Defective paint surfaces must be repaired in all cases. For units occupied by households with children under six years of age, corrective actions will include testing and, if necessary, abatement, or abatement without prior testing,to ensure a safe living environment. Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. To address poverty and improve economic stability for families in Huntington Beach,the City has established several strategic objectives aimed at reducing poverty levels and enhancing economic opportunities.The primary goals are to reduce the number of families dependent on welfare,decrease the need for housing subsidies,and increase economic opportunities for low-and moderate-income individuals. To expand employment opportunities, the City has two Business Improvement Districts and 2024/25 CAPER 32 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) an Economic Development Strategy, which are designed to attract and retain businesses, industries, and investments. Information on economic development opportunities is made available to the public through the City's official website and the dedicated business portal, www.hbbiz.com. Moreover, the City's Economic Development Division actively promotes job creation and economic growth, as outlined in the June 2017 Economic Development Implementation Plan and the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan for the City. The plans focus on retaining and creating jobs, as well as attracting new businesses and investments to Huntington Beach. The City is committed to complying with Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act,which mandates that,to the greatest extent possible,the City will provide job training, employment, and contracting opportunities to low- and very low-income residents in conjunction with housing and public construction projects. This compliance ensures that local economic development efforts also foster individual self-sufficiency and community advancement. Actions taken to develop institutional structure. As the recipient of federal CDBG, HOME, and HOME-ARP funds, the City delegated the Community Development Department to be the lead department responsible for the overall administration of HUD grants. In that regard,the Department prepared the Consolidated Plan and the Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, drafted the Annual Action Plan, CAPER, and HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, as well as all other reports required by federal rules and regulations. The City has worked with non-profit agencies,for-profit developers, advocacy groups, clubs, organizations, neighborhood leadership groups, City departments, the private sector, and other government entities to implement the City's five-year strategy to address the priority needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2020/21 — 2024/25. Engaging the community and stakeholders in the delivery of services and programs for the benefit of low to moderate residents has been vital in overcoming gaps in service delivery. The City also utilized public notices, Community Workshops and Meetings (as appropriate), the City's website, and other forms of media to deliver information on carrying out the Consolidated Plan strategies. Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 2024/25 CAPER 33 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) To address the needs of homeless individuals, low-income households, and families with special needs, the City of Huntington Beach continues to strengthen coordination between public agencies, private housing providers, and local service organizations. The City works collaboratively with internal departments—including Police, Library Services, Community Services, and Public Works—to deliver comprehensive support to residents. Partnerships with organizations such as American Family Housing, National CORE, Jamboree Housing Corporation, Habitat for Humanity, Interval House, Mercy House, Families Forward, Colette's Children's Home, AMCAL, Community SeniorServ, and Project Self-Sufficiency expand housing opportunities and supportive services. In addition, the City partners with the Fair Housing Foundation, Orange County Housing Authority, 2-1-1 Orange County, and OC Community Services(Orange County Continuum of Care)to coordinate resources and provide targeted assistance. Through these collaborations, the City is able to integrate housing, shelter,supportive services, and fair housing advocacy, ensuring that vulnerable populations are served in a more effective and coordinated manner. Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. In May 2020, Huntington Beach, along with 20 other Orange County cities, the County of Orange,and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law,developed the Orange County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. The Al outlined fair housing priorities and goals to overcome fair housing issues. In addition,the Al laid out meaningful strategies to be implemented to achieve progress towards the County's obligation to affirmatively further fair housing.The 2020-2024 AI identified these goals: 1. Increase the supply of affordable housing in high opportunity areas. 2. Prevent displacement of low- and moderate-income residents with protected characteristics, including Hispanic residents, Vietnamese residents, seniors, and people with disabilities. 3. Increase community integration for persons with disabilities. 4. Ensure equal access to housing for persons with protected characteristics, who are disproportionately likely to be lower-income and to experience homelessness. 5. Expand access to opportunity for protected classes. To that end, in FY 2020/21, the City of Huntington Beach negotiated the terms of a 43-unit affordable housing development for seniors located at 18431 Beach Boulevard.The HB Senior Housing Project was completed in January 2025 and was a collaborative effort between the City and Jamboree Housing Corporation and the partnership sought to accomplish several of the goals listed above. The project increased the supply of affordable housing, integrated 2024/25 CAPER 34 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) persons with disabilities into the project, ensured equal'access to housing for persons with protected characteristics (seniors), and expanded access to opportunity for protected classes. The City also invested nearly$3 million in tenant-based rental assistance using HOME funding since July 2020 and has prevented displacement of over 26o lower income Huntington Beach households to date. The City also ensured equal access to housing and expanded access to opportunities for persons with protected characteristics through the work of their contractor,the Fair Housing Foundation (FHF). The FHF provided the following services to affirmatively further fair housing: Landlord/Tenant Services In partnership with the Fair Housing Foundation (FHF), the City of Huntington Beach implemented a comprehensive fair housing program targeting tenants, landlords, property owners,realtors,and property management companies.This program focused on counseling these groups about their rights and responsibilities to identify and address potential fair housing violations. During FY 2024/25, FHF provided direct client services to 333 unduplicated households, with 42% of those served being classified as extremely low or low-income. A significant portion of the inquiries, approximately 86%, came from current tenants seeking guidance on issues such as habitability, rent increases, evictions, and notices. Furthermore, FHF actively investigated and responded to allegations of illegal housing discrimination.Of the seven discrimination claims received,four led to cases being opened for further investigation, while three were resolved. The majority of these allegations were related to familial status and source of income, highlighting a critical area of concern in fair housing enforcement. Education and Outreach Activities The FHF implemented a comprehensive and extensive education and outreach program aimed at raising awareness and understanding of fair housing laws among key stakeholders such as managers, tenants, landlords, owners, realtors, and property management companies. The program was designed to promote media and consumer interest and encourage grassroots involvement within the community. FHF specifically targeted their outreach efforts towards individuals and protected classes most likely to face housing discrimination. 2024/25 CAPER 35 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Throughout the year, FHF carried out a variety of activities to benefit residents of Huntington Beach.This included regular"All Area Activities" and specific initiatives focused solely on the Huntington Beach community.The Foundation actively participated in numerous community relations events, including engaging with four agencies to discuss fair housing, staffing two booths in collaboration with the Oak View Family Resource Center,attending nine community meetings,delivering five community presentations,hosting five workshops and walk-in clinics on fair housing, and distributing 4,00o pieces of literature throughout Huntington Beach. These efforts underscore FHF's commitment to advancing fair housing practices and enhancing community education. Finally, the City worked to enhance access to services and housing for residents with limited English proficiency. For the federal CDBG program, the City offered to make public notices available in English and Spanish, and ensured translators were available at public meetings, if requested. 2024/25 CAPER 36 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-4o - Monitoring Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements. The City follows monitoring procedures for subrecipients,which includes a thorough in-house review of quarterly progress reports and expenditures, and an annual desk review or on-site visit to ensure compliance with federal regulations. The monitoring system encourages uniform reporting to achieve consistent information on beneficiaries. Technical assistance is provided throughout the program year on an as-needed basis. No formal monitoring of public service agreements was conducted in FY 2024/25; however, staff will pick up monitoring of subrecipients in early 2025/26. The City also performs project monitoring of all rent restricted affordable units assisted with HOME, CDBG, and t former Redevelopment Agency Housing Set-Aside Funds, and in accordance with 24 CFR 92.5o4(d): • Annual audits for compliance with regulatory agreement affordability covenants; and • On site visits, which include property inspections of randomly selected units assisted with HOME, CDBG, and former Redevelopment Agency Housing Set-Aside Funds. In addition, the City encouraged minority business outreach in all of its federally assisted (CDBG and HOME) construction work in excess of $2,000. As part of the Notice Inviting Bid procedures, the City requires subrecipients undertaking improvements, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of community and private facilities, infrastructure projects, and affordable housing developments to make a good faith effort to hire women or minority-based businesses and to require equal employment opportunity for all individuals and business concerns. Citizen Participation Plan Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reports. Pursuant to 24 CFR Part 91,the City solicited public review and comment on the draft 2024/25 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER).

During FY 2024/25, the City collected and monitored eight Affirmative Marketing and Tenant Selection Plans and all were in compliance with the affordable housing agreements and with the requirements at 24 CFR 200.62o. Refer to IDIS reports to describe the amount and use of program income for projects,including 2024/25 CAPER 40 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) the number of projects and owner and tenant characteristics. Huntington Beach had a total of$113,198.13 in HOME program income in FY 2024/25($96,101.13 from prior year receipts,and$17,097 in new receipts),all of which is attributed to homeowner rehabilitation loan payoffs and residual receipts from affordable housing development projects.

Describe other actions taken to foster and maintain affordable housing. As part of its ongoing commitment to meeting housing needs and supporting vulnerable populations, the City of Huntington Beach has advanced several significant projects and partnerships in recent years. In the FY 2020/21 Annual Action Plan, the City allocated $2.8 million in HOME funds to support the development of a 43-unit senior affordable housing community located at 18431 Beach Boulevard. Developed in partnership with Jamboree Housing Corporation, the project created much-needed housing opportunities for older adults in Huntington Beach. Of the 43 units, nine were designated as HOME-restricted and made available to eligible senior households in FY 2024/25, ensuring long-term affordability for some of the city's most vulnerable residents. In addition to new construction, the City worked collaboratively with the County of Orange, National CORE,and American Family Housing to address homelessness through the adaptive reuse of an existing property. Together, the partners repurposed the former Quality Inn & Suites at 17251 Beach Boulevard into the Huntington Beach Oasis, a non-congregate shelter designed to serve adult individuals and households experiencing homelessness within the Orange County Central Service Planning Area. The Oasis provided 62 interim housing units coupled with supportive services aimed at addressing residents' complex needs and helping them transition toward stability. By May 2024, the facility had successfully transitioned into permanent housing, representing a major milestone in the city's efforts to reduce homelessness through innovative housing solutions. 2024/25 CAPER 41 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Beyond development projects,the City has also expanded direct assistance programs to help residents maintain stable housing. In collaboration with Families Forward and Mercy House, Huntington Beach provided tenant-based rental assistance that supported 40 households within the city. Recognizing the particular financial challenges facing older residents,the City also launched a housing assistance program for income-eligible senior mobile homeowners. In FY 2024/25, this initiative provided space rent assistance to 22 senior households, offering meaningful relief to a population that often struggles with fixed incomes and rising housing costs. 2024/25 CAPER 42 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) CR-58 - Section 3 Identify the number of individuals assisted and the types of assistance provided.

The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, implements projects and awards grants to nonprofit, for-profit, or public organizations for projects in furtherance of the adopted Consolidated Plan. The CDBG and HOME programs generally provide a range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income Huntington Beach residents. The CAPER discusses affordable housing outcomes, homelessness and special needs activities, non-housing community development activities, and other actions in furtherance of the City's Annual Action Plan projects and programs for Fiscal Year(FY) 2024/25 (July 1, 2024,to June 3o, 2025). For the 2024/25 fiscal year, the City received $1,121,195 of CDBG funds from HUD, which were combined in the Action Plan with $447,163 of unexpended CDBG funds from prior years, and $44,726.72 in program income receipts for a total investment of $1,613,084.72. In HOME funding, the City was awarded $538,328, coupled with $542,762 in prior year unspent funds, and new program income received in the amount of $17,097, made $1,o98,187 available for the fiscal year. This investment of CDBG and HOME funds was a catalyst for positive change in the community. Together with other federal, state and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City and its partners to: • Provide fair housing services to 333 residents. • Provide homelessness prevention and assistance services to 579 residents. • Provide public services to 15o children. • Provide tenant-based rental assistance and housing operation services to 62 eligible households. • Provide 20 homeowners with assistance in the form of grants and loans to make significant housing repairs and improvements. • Remove architectural barriers by upgrading sidewalks and curbs and providing improved and accessible restrooms at the City's Central Library benefiting 26,975 persons with disabilities. 2024/25 CAPER 2 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 214 In 2021, HUD allocated $2,240,675 to the City of Huntington Beach under the HOME-American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP), aimed at reducing homelessness and increasing housing stability. To date, $2,190,675 has been dedicated to supportive services at the Navigation Center,with an additional$50,00o allocated for program administration. During the fiscal year 2024/25, the Navigation Center provided supportive services to 409 unduplicated individuals, including 18 Veterans and 73 elderly persons. This continued investment reflects the City's ongoing commitment to addressing homelessness and enhancing housing stability. The figure below illustrates the City's priority needs as well as the strategies implemented to address these priorities, as outlined in the City's Five-Year Consolidated Plan. 2024/25 CAPER 3 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 215 Priority Need 5-Year Implementing Goals and Projects/Programs Households with Housing Problems Sustain and Strengthen Neighborhoods ➢ Owner-Occupied Single Family,Condo,and Mobile Home Rehabilitation Grant Program(4o housing units) ➢ Owner-Occupied Single-Family Rehabilitation Loan Program(10 housing units) ➢ Housing Rehabilitation Loan Administration(5o housing units) ➢ Special Code Enforcement Program(3000 housing units) Preserve Existing and Create New Affordable Housing ➢ Acquisition/Rehabilitation/New Construction(2o housing units) ➢ Tenant-Based Rental Assistance(10o households) Homelessness Support Efforts to Address Homelessness ➢ Homeless Outreach Program(2,000 persons) ➢ StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Program(56o persons) ➢ Robyne's Nest Housing for Homeless High Schoolers(45 persons) ➢ Navigation Center Operations Program(10o persons) Special Needs Populations Support Agencies that Assist Special Needs Populations ➢ Senior Services Care Management Program(825 persons) ➢ Oakview Family Literacy Program(95o persons) Priority Community Services Increase Access to Community Services for Low-and Moderate- Income Persons ➢ Children's Bureau(2,00o persons) Priority Community and Public Preserve Existing and Create New Community and Public Services Facilities ➢ Various Community and Public Facility Projects(5,00o persons) Priority Infrastructure Provide Needed Infrastructure Improvements Improvements ➢ Various Public Infrastructure Improvement Projects (2,000 persons) Other Housing and Community Planning for Housing and Community Development Development Needs ➢ CDBG Program Administration ➢ HOME Program Administration ➢ Fair Housing Foundation 2024/25 CAPER 4 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 216 CR-o5 — Goals and Outcomes Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.

Consistent with the City's Priority Needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan, the City allocated majority of its CDBG funding to non-housing community development activities (public facilities, infrastructure, and services), preceded by the community's housing needs and program administration funded by both CDBG and HOME. The City's Priority Needs are a product of the Needs Assessment, Housing Market Analysis, public input, and community needs survey — all conducted during the development of the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan's five-year priorities for assistance with CDBG and HOME funds also takes into consideration several factors such as: i)those households most in need of housing and community development assistance, as determined through the Consolidated Plan needs assessment, consultation, and public participation process; 2) which activities will best meet the needs of those identified households; and 3) the extent of other non-federal resources that can be utilized to leverage/match CDBG and HOME funds to address these needs. Overall,the projects and programs approved in the FY 2024/25 Annual Action Plan effectively maximized the impact of the available resources. Under the category of Affordable Housing, the City allocated funds for homeowner rehabilitation and tenant-based rental assistance.The City aimed to fund and complete 13 rehabilitation projects within the year, and overachieved this target by completing 20. Additionally, the City supported three tenant-based rental assistance programs, including one specifically for senior mobile home occupants requiring help with space rents. The original goal was to assist 6o households, but the City surpassed this objective by providing assistance to 62 households, achieving 103%of the goal. The City did not set any goals for the creation of new rental units in FY 2024/25. However, during FY 2020/21, the City allocated $2.8 million to the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project,which was completed during the fiscal year. In collaboration with Jamboree Housing Corporation, the City developed the site at 18431 Beach Boulevard. The project features 42 one-bedroom/one-bath units, one two-bedroom/one-bath manager's unit, ground-level and subterranean parking, conference and office rooms, resident lounges, and outdoor amenities such as a courtyard and a dog park.The project incorporates nine units with HOME-restricted rents, 21 units designated for Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) eligible individuals experiencing homelessness, and 12 units for non-MHSA senior households facing homelessness.The project was completed in January 2025. The last program under the category of Affordable Housing is the Special Code Enforcement 2024/25 CAPER 10 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 222 Program.The City had a goal to inspect 60o housing units under State and local health,safety, and building codes, and met 168%of the goal. Public service allocations amounted to the maximum allowable under CDBG regulations (05 percent of the annual allocation). The City allocated $65,250 to the Children's Bureau after school program; $19,215 to StandUp for Kids Street Outreach; $50,00o to Robyne's Nest; and $33,714 to Project Hope Alliance. In its efforts to address homelessness,the City significantly exceeded its goal by assisting 579 individuals out of the proposed 121, achieving over 478% of the target. This support was provided through programs such as StandUp for Kids Street Outreach, Robyne's Nest, Project Hope Alliance, and the Navigation Center. Additionally, under the goal to increase access to community services for low- and moderate-income persons, the Children's Bureau met its target of 15o by providing free after-school programming to children in the Oak View neighborhood. One non-housing community development project was funded in FY 2024/25 -the ADA Curb Cuts in Maintenance Zone 2 project.The Project involved removing curbs and reconstructing them as ramps to improve accessibility for wheelchair users and individuals with visual impairments.Completed at the end of FY 2024/25,this initiative has enhanced access to street intersections for 2,750 individuals. Additionally,the Central Library, located at 7111 Talbert Avenue,was completed in FY 2024/25• This 2023/24 project had restrooms from the 197os that did not meet current ADA accessibility standards. Given that the library serves hundreds of visitors each week, the City undertook improvements to remove architectural barriers and enhance restroom accessibility for all individuals, including those with disabilities. It is estimated that 24,225 disabled persons in Huntington Beach benefit from the restroom improvements. As a reminder, results may vary from year to year based on the timing of funding and project completion. Affordable housing, public facilities, and public infrastructure projects typically span multiple years. 2024/25 CAPER 11 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 223 CR-bo - Racial and Ethnic Composition of Families Assisted Describe the families assisted (including the racial and ethnic status of families assisted).

HOME funds were utilized for tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA) targeting homeless individuals,victims of domestic violence,veterans, and senior mobile homeowners,as well as fair housing services. Among the beneficiaries of the HOME-funded TBRA programs, 85% identified as White,while 21%were of Hispanic ethnicity. Black or African American and Asian individuals comprised 5%of HOME program recipients each. Similarly, CDBG-funded activities benefited 76% of individuals who identified as White, over 9%who were Asian, under 1%who were Black, and over 19%who identified as Hispanic, regardless of race. 2024/25 CAPER 12 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 224 CR-15 - Resources and Investments Identify the resources made available.

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provided an entitlement amount of $1,121,195. In addition to this, there was $619,433.73 in unspent funds from prior years, and program income of $116,879.82 (includes 2024 and 2025 receipts), resulting in a total of$1,857,508.55 available for CDBG activities. For the HOME Investment Partnerships Program,the entitlement amount for FY 2024125 was $538,328. This was supplemented by $17,097 in receipted program income and $542,762 in uncommitted prior year funds, bringing the total available HOME funding to$1,098,187.These funds will be utilized to advance the City's housing objectives for the fiscal year. During the 2024/25 program year, the City expended a total of $3,106,136.16 in federal resources and program income to address the needs of extremely low, low, and moderate- income individuals. Of this, $1,287,473.04 was disbursed to CDBG activities. These expenditures covered a range of projects and programs approved both for FY 2024/25 and earlier years, including public services, public facility and infrastructure projects, code enforcement, homeowner rehabilitation, housing services, and program administration. In addition, $912,576.39 was disbursed from HOME funds, with the majority, $770,329.81, dedicated to tenant-based rental assistance programs. The remainder was used for HOME program administration. Finally, during the reporting period, a total of $906,186.73 was disbursed from the special HOME funds provided through the American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) Program. Of this amount, $881,898.57 supported the Navigation Center, which provides essential services to persons experiencing homelessness, including case management through the Housing 2024/25 CAPER 13 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 225 Navigation Team, meals, snacks and beverages,and transportation assistance such as shuttle leases, fuel, and vehicle repairs. An additional $24,288.16 was expended on program administration to ensure effective oversight and management of the HOME-ARP Program. In September 2025, a further $303,575.92 was disbursed, and the remaining balance of $261,114.04 is expected to be expended during the remainder of FY 2025-26.

Narrative In FY 2024/25, the majority of funds were allocated to projects and programs available citywide, covering a range of activities such as public services, homeowner rehabilitation, tenant-based rental assistance, housing services, homeless supportive services, and administrative activities.Typically,projects within the Low-and Moderate-Income Areas focus on public facility or infrastructure improvements. However, for this fiscal year, such projects were limited to the removal of architectural barriers to individuals with disabilities. These accessibility improvements benefit persons with disabilities citywide. A total of six percent of the expended funds were allocated to code enforcement activities, which were conducted within a specific target area designated as the Special Code Enforcement Area, developed in accordance with HUD requirements. The City carried out a visual (windshield)survey of CDBG-eligible areas to identify properties,businesses, parkways, alleys, and structures that met the City's definition of "deteriorated or deteriorating." This survey revealed that low- and moderate-income areas within the boundaries of Bolsa Chica Street to the west, Bolsa Avenue to the north, Brookhurst Street to the east, and Atlanta Avenue to the south exhibited the highest levels of property deterioration.Consequently,this area was designated as the Special Code Enforcement Target Area.The area includes several census tracts and is home to 46,65o residents, of whom 32,395, or 69.44%, are classified as low-or moderate-income. 2024/25 CAPER 14 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 226 SPECIAL CODE ENFORCEMENT TARGET AREA TOTAL POPULATION V.

The City is mandated to provide a 25 percent match for all HOME funds drawn down for HOME activities, excluding those funded by program income or administrative funds. To meet this requirement, the City has historically leveraged resources from other local funds, such as former redevelopment tax increment and, more recently, bond financing, in conjunction with HOME-assisted affordable housing acquisition and rehabilitation. Due to these past leveraging efforts, the City has accumulated a surplus of match credits. As of the end of the 2024 Federal fiscal year(October 1, 2023-September 3o, 2024),the City's HOME match liability is $150,476.19. To fulfill this requirement, the City will utilize its surplus of match credits from previous years.The match carry-over surplus from prior years amounts to $3,753,786.76. After applying the required match for 2024 the remaining excess match to be carried forward into the next Federal fiscal year (October 1, 2024 - September 3o, 2025) will be $3,603,310.56.

The City allocated $846,252 in HOME funds to operate three tenant-based rental assistance programs. Families Forward received $200,00o to assist households with children. With an enrollment goal of i5 households, the program exceeded expectations by serving 23 families by year-end. Mercy House was also awarded $200,00o to support individuals who were homeless or at risk of homelessness, including veterans and victims of domestic violence. Their goal was to assist i5 households, and they surpassed this target by serving 17.The third program, the Mobile Home Rental Assistance Program,was allocated $446,252 to help senior 2024/25 CAPER 20 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 232 mobile homeowners with space rents.While the program proposed to serve 3o households, 22 households were enrolled by the end of FY 2024/25. In addition to tenant-based rental assistance programs, the City completed a 43-unit senior affordable housing development at 18431 Beach Boulevard, known as the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Apartments(Pelican Harbor).The project received $2.8 million in HOME funds in FY 2020/21 and approximately$io million in Project-Based Vouchers from the Orange County Housing Authority. Designed for households earning 3o-5o percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), 21 of the 33 Project-Based Vouchers are reserved for Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) eligible individuals experiencing homelessness with incomes at or below 3o percent AMI. Twelve vouchers are allocated to non-MHSA senior households at or below 3o percent AMI, and nine units are restricted to households earning up to 5o percent AMI. The development consists of a four-story building with a one-level subterranean parking garage, featuring 42 one-bedroom units and one two-bedroom manager's unit. Construction was completed, and leasing began in January 2025. Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans. The Huntington Beach 2020/21-2024/25 Consolidated Plan estimated that it could develop 20 housing units through acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction by the end of the Plan period (June 30, 2025). Completion of the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project fulfilled nearly half of this five-year goal. However, due to the City's high rental costs, the need for tenant-based rental assistance has become more urgent than the development of additional units. In response,the City has prioritized funding rental assistance programs and has formally requested a waiver of the i %CH DO reservation requirement to more effectively address local housing needs. Future Annual Action Plans will reinforce the City's focus on rental assistance as the most effective way to respond to the community's housing challenges. While the development of new affordable housing remains a priority, the completion of the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project shows that unit production goals can be met gradually over time.At the same time, the overwhelming demand for tenant-based rental assistance highlights the need to direct more resources toward helping residents with immediate housing costs. Future Annual Action Plans will continue to balance long-term housing development with short-term rental assistance.

Contributing factors include a shortage of affordable housing, increasing poverty rates, reduced subsidies, substance abuse issues, the de- institutionalization of the mentally ill, and a rising number of individuals who may view homelessness as a lifestyle choice. To address this issue, Orange County conducts a biennial enumeration of both sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals in a 24-hour period. This effort, known as the Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, is required by Congress for all communities receiving U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)funding for homeless programs. HUD mandates that the PIT Count take place during the last ten days of January. For 2024, the count was conducted by the County of Orange and the Orange County Continuum of Care, with the sheltered count taking place on the night of January 22, 2024, and the unsheltered count occurring from the morning of January 23 through January 25, 2024. The 2024 PIT Count identified 7,322 homeless individuals in Orange County, marking a significant 28% increase from the 2022 count, which recorded 5,718 individuals. Specifically in Huntington Beach, the count revealed 433 total homeless persons, with 173 classified as unsheltered and 26o as sheltered. This represents an increase from the 2022 figures, where there were 33o total homeless individuals—188 unsheltered and 142 sheltered. 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. 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 behavioral health support. Although the Deputy Director's position has evolved since February 2022,the City continues to staff and support homelessness services. 2024/25 CAPER 23 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 235 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 22 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 has assisted with 56 Disabling Condition Assessments.The therapist will continue to support mental health services on an as-needed basis. The Homeless & Behavioral Health System also incorporated homeless outreach social workers who actively engaged with unhoused and at-risk of being unhoused individuals, families, veterans, and seniors. Social workers offered support by linking individuals to resources, service providers, and aiding in securing necessary documents for County of Orange housing programs. They maintained 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 ensured that individuals received 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 202 2 City's CDBG Program continued its support for outreach and assessment of 4/ 5,the g PP homeless individuals through the StandUp for Kids Street Outreach, Robyne's Nest, and Project Hope Alliance Programs. StandUp for Kids operates a Street Outreach program where volunteer staff activelypatrol St p p p g the streets to locate and support homeless and at-risk youth aged 12 to 24 who are either unsheltered or unstably housed. The program provided crucial services including food, clothing, hygiene items, and survival kits. In addition to these essentials,the program offered medical assistance and compassionate mentoring aimed at helping young individuals 2024/25 CAPER 24 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 236 transition from homelessness to a more stable and hopeful future. In FY 2024/25, StandUp for Kids received $19,215 in CDBG funding and assisted 24 youth with their homelessness services. In FY 2024/25, Robyne's Nest was awarded $50,00o to continue its vital work in supporting homeless youth in Huntington Beach.The program plays a crucial role in assessing the needs of homeless youth and helping them become stable and productive citizens. Robyne's Nest focuses on identifying homeless youth, evaluating their individual needs, and developing personalized plans aimed at stability and success. The program provides a broad array of services, including academic support, financial guidance, and life skills development. This support encompasses assistance with housing resources, essential needs like food and clothing, and educational aid such as tutoring, providing Chromebooks, school supplies, and covering fees. Furthermore, the program offers comprehensive support for the health and well-being of the youth, including counseling,therapy, mentoring, and life skills classes. Over the past fiscal year, Robyne's Nest assisted 25 homeless youth, surpassing its goal of 20. In FY 2024/25, Project Hope Alliance (PHA) received $33,714 in CDBG funding to provide outreach and assessments for homeless youth. PHA offered comprehensive, wraparound support to 121 homeless individuals through its dedicated case managers. These case managers were available around the clock, allowing them to build meaningful relationships and address both expected and emergent needs or crises as they arose. Their support encompassed a range of services, including academic guidance, social-emotional mentorship, transportation,access to technology, basic needs, and referrals for additional resources.This approach ensured that the youth received the tailored assistance necessary to help them stabilize and succeed. The City continued to support the operations and services at the Navigation Center in FY 2024/25. Located at 17642 Beach Boulevard, the Navigation Center, which opened in December 2020, offers 174 beds for overnight shelter and provides direct access to essential services aimed at helping individuals experiencing homelessness move towards housing stability. Upon seeking assistance at the Navigation Center, individuals are first assessed by the City's Homeless Task Force. During the fiscal year, the Center provided support to a total of 817 homeless persons with funding from a special allocation of HOME funds from the American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP)Act awarded in previous years. These combined efforts reflect the City's commitment to addressinghomelessness and Y facilitating pathways to long-term housing solutions. 2024/25 CAPER 25 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 237 Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons In FY 2020/21, the City of Huntington Beach partnered with Mercy House to launch the Navigation Center, an emergency homeless shelter. This facility has received significant federal funding to support its operations, including $1,408,395 from CDBG, $2,028,847 from CDBG-CV (for activities related to COVID-19 prevention, preparation, and response), and $2,190,675 from HOME-ARP (unspent funds will be carried over into FY 2025126). The Navigation Center can shelter up to 174 adults and couples under normal conditions. In FY 2024/25,the Center provided emergency shelter to 409 individuals using HOME-ARP funding. In FY 2021/22,the City initiated the HB Oasis project in collaboration with the State of California Homekey Program,the County of Orange, National CORE, and American Family Housing.This project involved acquiring and rehabilitating the former Quality Inn & Suites motel at 17251 Beach Boulevard to address homelessness in the region. HB Oasis served as interim housing for up to 62 individuals and households in Orange County's Central Service Planning Area. It provided not only transitional housing but also comprehensive property management and residential support services. The focus was on trauma-informed, evidence-based operations to support residents' reintegration into the community through robust case management and connections to permanent housing solutions. In May 2024, the HB Oasis project transitioned to permanent supportive housing. This transition involved renovating the individual units to include kitchenettes and utilizing project- based vouchers to support long-term housing stability for its residents. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals);and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care(such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health,social services, employment,education,or youth needs To prevent homelessness and support at-risk populations, Huntington Beach actively participated in the Orange County Continuum of Care System. This system is designed to provide assistance to individuals at risk of becoming homeless,ensuring a network of support for those in need. In FY 2024/25 the City maintained its commitment to supporting families through rental 2024/25 CAPER 26 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 238 assistance programs. Families Forward received $200,00o to assist households with children, aiming to provide critical support to those in need. Additionally, $200,00o was awarded to Mercy House to provide assistance to income-eligible households, veterans, and victims of domestic violence. Finally, $446,252 was allocated to the Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Program to help senior mobile homeowners manage the rising costs of space rents.Across all tenant-based rental assistance programs,a total of 62 households were assisted during the fiscal year. Although the City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding and therefore is not required to develop a discharge coordination policy, it remains committed to addressing this issue. The City will continue to work with the Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force to develop and refine its discharge coordination policy. 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 its ongoing efforts to address homelessness and prevent those at risk from falling into homelessness, the City of Huntington Beach has implemented several strategic initiatives aimed at assisting various populations, including chronically homeless individuals, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth. The City's approach focuses on helping these individuals transition to permanent housing and independent living, reducing the duration of homelessness, facilitating access to affordable housing, and preventing recurrence of homelessness among those who have recently been housed. Key efforts include actively securing both short-term and long-term funding, partnering with experienced service providers to leverage additional resources, and creating or securing affordable housing. Additionally, the City provides comprehensive case management services and engages in street outreach to connect homeless individuals to available resources. For example, the conversion of the former Quality Inn Hotel into the Huntington Beach Oasis project provided 62 non-congregate transitional units, offering extensive wraparound supportive services. These services addressed various challenges such as mental and physical health issues, substance use, trauma, and employment barriers. The success of this initiative led to its conversion to permanent housing in May 2024. 2024/25 CAPER 27 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 239 Similarly,the Navigation Center,supported by over$3.5 million in CDBG and CDBG-CV funding and nearly $2.2 million in HOME-ARP funding, offers substantial wraparound services to help individuals transition from emergency shelter to more stable housing. Services will continue in FY 2025126 until all unspent HOME-ARP funding is expended. Also, the City is planning to repurpose the Navigation Center property into a permanent navigation center and affordable housing development project in the future. In June 2024, the City Council approved an 18- month Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with Jamboree Housing to explore the development of a permanent supportive housing project titled "Pathways." The Pathways Project would replace the temporary Navigation Center with a four-level permanent facility featuring 7o housing units,and supportive services integrated into the design.The project depends heavily on securing grants and funding,and full construction readiness could take two or more years. Finally, the City continued to prioritize tenant-based rental assistance, providing subsidies to 62 households in FY 2024/25 to support those in need. 2024/25 CAPER 28 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 240 CR-3o - Public Housing Actions taken to address the needs of public housing. The City of Huntington Beach does not have any public housing developments. However, it benefits from the services of the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA), which manages Housing Choice Vouchers(Section 8)for residential units within Huntington Beach. Currently, 644 households in Huntington Beach receive Section 8 vouchers from OCHA, including 120 families, 115 disabled individuals, and 409 elderly households. Additionally, OCHA administers various other voucher programs, including 44 Continuum of Care,13 Family Self-Sufficiency,22 Family Unification,one Non-Elderly Disabled,114 Portability, 81 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing, and 56 Emergency Housing Vouchers. Actions taken to a encourag public housingresidents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership. Not applicable. Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs. Not applicable. 2024/25 CAPER 29 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 241 CR-35 - Other Actions Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs, every effort is made to remove barriers to affordable housing through agreements with for-profit and 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. Additionally, as part of the City's Housing Element update, the City must assess and to the extent feasible, mitigate, its governmental constraints to housing for lower- and moderate- income households and persons with disabilities. The Housing Element addresses the City's provisions for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing. The following programs in the City's 2013-2021 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: Multi-family Acquisition/Rehabilitation through Non-Profit Developers: Acquire, rehabilitate, and establish affordability covenants on 8o rental units. Residential and Mixed-Use Sites Inventory: Maintain current inventory of vacant and underutilized development sites and provide developers with information on incentives. Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan: Facilitate development through flexible, form-based standards and streamlined processing. Encourage affordable housing by requiring inclusionary units to be provided on-site, or within the Specific Plan, and providing additional incentives for increased percentages of affordable units. Inclusionary Housing Program and Housing Trust Fund:Continue implementation and re-evaluate Ordinance to provide consistency with case law and market conditions. 2024/25 CAPER 30 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 242 Establish in-lieu fee amount for projects between 10 o units. 3 Affordable Housing Development Assistance: Provide financial and regulatory assistance in support of affordable housing. Provide information on incentives to development community. Affordable Housing Density Bonus: Continue to offer density bonus incentives as a means of enhancing the economic feasibility of affordable housing development. Development Fee Assistance: Continue to offer fee reductions to incentivize affordable housing. Specify the waiver of t00% of application processing fees in the Code for projects with io%extremely low-income units. Residential Processing Procedures: Provide non-discretionary development review within the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan. Adopt streamlined review procedures for multi-family development on a citywide basis. Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. To address obstacles in meeting underserved needs, the City of Huntington Beach has developed and implemented a range of strategies, activities, and funding approaches to benefit its residents in the areas of housing and community development. Recognizing that inadequate funding is a significant barrier, the City has actively sought additional resources and explored alternative funding sources to enhance its ability to address these needs. By pursuing innovative and creative solutions, the City has worked to make its service delivery systems more comprehensive. This effort includes maintaining and expanding partnerships with both for-profit and non-profit organizations to leverage additional resources and expertise. The City has effectively utilized HOME and CDBG funds to focus on crucial areas such as affordable rental housing, tenant-based rental assistance, and homeowner rehabilitation programs. Federal funds have also been directed toward addressing specific housing needs, including improving availability, ensuring housing conditions meet standards, and promoting fair housing practices to prevent homelessness. In addition to housing, the City has allocated federal funds to community development projects, including infrastructure improvements, public facility enhancements, and code enforcement initiatives. Moreover, the City is collaborating with neighboring jurisdictions to adopt a regional 2024/25 CAPER 31 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 243 approach to addressing underserved needs, aiming to create a more coordinated and effective response to regional challenges. Through these comprehensive efforts, the City strives to overcome obstacles and better meet the needs of its underserved populations. Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. To protect children and families from lead poisoning, the City of Huntington Beach has implemented HUD's revised lead-based paint regulations, which focus on five key activities: Notification, Lead Hazard Evaluation, Lead Hazard Reduction, Ongoing Maintenance, and Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Levels. In accordance with HUD Lead-Based Paint Regulations(Title X),the City ensures that federally funded rehabilitation projects address lead hazards comprehensively. Lead-based paint abatement is an integral part of the City's Housing Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Affordable Rental Housing Program. For units selected for rehabilitation within rental housing projects, lead testing is conducted unless the property is statutorily exempt. If lead is detected,appropriate elimination or encapsulation measures are taken, with costs covered either by the project developer or through CDBG or HOME funds, as suitable. To further reduce lead-based paint hazards in existing housing, all housing rehabilitation projects that receive federal funding are tested for lead and asbestos. If a lead-based paint hazard is identified, the City or its sub-grantee engages a lead consultant to carry out abatement or interim controls based on the consultant's findings.Tenants are informed about the test results and the clearance report. In the Section 8 program, County staff conduct annual inspections of both existing and newly available units. Defective paint surfaces must be repaired in all cases. For units occupied byhouseholds with children under sixyears of age, P P g corrective actions will include testing and, if necessary, abatement, or abatement without prior testing,to ensure a safe living environment. Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. To address poverty and improve economic stability for families in Huntington Beach, the City has established several strategic objectives aimed at reducing poverty levels and enhancing economic opportunities. The primary goals are to reduce the number of families dependent on welfare, decrease the need for housing subsidies,and increase economic opportunities for low-and moderate-income individuals. To expand employment opportunities, the City has two Business Improvement Districts and 2024/25 CAPER 32 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 244 an Economic Development Strategy, which are designed to attract and retain businesses, P gY, g industries, and investments. Information on economic development opportunities is made available to the public through the City's official website and the dedicated business portal, www.hbbiz.com . Moreover, the City's Economic Development Division actively promotes job creation and economic growth, as outlined in the June 2017 Economic Development Implementation Plan and the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan for the City. The plans focus on retaining and creating jobs, as well as attracting new businesses and investments to Huntington Beach. The City is committed to complying with Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act, which mandates that,to the greatest extent possible,the City will provide job training, employment, and contracting opportunities to low- and very low-income residents in conjunction with housing and public construction projects. This compliance ensures that local economic development efforts also foster individual self-sufficiency and community advancement. Actions taken to develop institutional structure. As the recipient of federal CDBG, HOME, and HOME-ARP funds, the City delegated the Community Development Department to be the lead department responsible for the overall administration of HUD grants. In that regard,the Department prepared the Consolidated Plan and the Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, drafted the Annual Action Plan, CAPER, and HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, as well as all other reports required by federal rules and regulations. The City has worked with non-profit agencies, for-profit developers, advocacy groups, clubs, organizations, neighborhood leadership groups, City departments, the private sector, and other government entities to implement the City's five-year strategy to address the priority needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2020/21 — 2024/25. Engaging the community and stakeholders in the delivery of services and programs for the benefit of low to moderate residents has been vital in overcoming gaps in service delivery. The City also utilized public notices, Community Workshops and Meetings (as appropriate), the City's website, and other forms of media to deliver information on carrying out the Consolidated Plan strategies. Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 2024/25 CAPER 33 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 245 To address the needs of homeless individuals, low-income households, and families with special needs, the City of Huntington Beach continues to strengthen coordination between public agencies, private housing providers, and local service organizations. The City works collaboratively with internal departments—including Police, Library Services, Community Services, and Public Works—to deliver comprehensive support to residents. Partnerships with organizations such as American Family Housing, National CORE, Jamboree Housing Corporation, Habitat for Humanity, Interval House, Mercy House, Families Forward, Colette's Children's Home, AMCAL, Community SeniorServ, and Project Self-Sufficiency expand housing opportunities and supportive services. In addition, the City partners with the Fair Housing Foundation, Orange County Housing Authority, 2-1-1 Orange County, and OC Community Services(Orange County Continuum of Care)to coordinate resources and provide targeted assistance. Through these collaborations, the City is able to integrate housing, shelter, supportive services, and fair housing advocacy, ensuring that vulnerable populations are served in a more effective and coordinated manner. Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. In May 2020, Huntington Beach, along with 20 other Orange County cities, the County of Orange,and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law,developed the Orange County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. The Al outlined fair housing priorities and goals to overcome fair housing issues. In addition,the Al laid out meaningful strategies to be implemented to achieve progress towards the County's obligation to affirmatively further fair housing.The 2020-2024 Al identified these goals: 1. Increase the supply of affordable housing in high opportunity areas. 2. Prevent displacement of low- and moderate-income residents with protected characteristics, including Hispanic residents, Vietnamese residents, seniors, and people with disabilities. 3. Increase community integration for persons with disabilities. 4. Ensure equal access to housing for persons with protected characteristics, who are disproportionately likely to be lower-income and to experience homelessness. 5. Expand access to opportunity for protected classes. To that end, in FY 2020/21, the City of Huntington Beach negotiated the terms of a 43-unit affordable housing development for seniors located at 18431 Beach Boulevard.The HB Senior Housing Project was completed in January 2025 and was a collaborative effort between the City and Jamboree Housing Corporation and the partnership sought to accomplish several of the goals listed above. The project increased the supply of affordable housing, integrated 2024/25 CAPER 34 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 246 persons with disabilities into the project, ensured equal access to housing for persons with protected characteristics (seniors), and expanded access to opportunity for protected classes. The City also invested nearly$3 million in tenant-based rental assistance using HOME funding since July 2020 and has prevented displacement of over 26o lower income Huntington Beach households to date. The City also ensured equal access to housing and expanded access to opportunities for persons with protected characteristics through the work of their contractor,the Fair Housing Foundation (FHF). The FHF provided the following services to affirmatively further fair housing: Landlord/Tenant Services In partnership with the Fair Housing Foundation (FHF), the City of Huntington Beach implemented a comprehensive fair housing program targeting tenants, landlords, property owners, realtors,and property management companies.This program focused on counseling these groups about their rights and responsibilities to identify and address potential fair housing violations. During FY 2024/25, FHF provided direct client services to 333 unduplicated households, with 42% of those served being classified as extremely low or low-income. A significant portion of the inquiries, approximately 86%, came from current tenants seeking guidance on issues such as habitability, rent increases, evictions, and notices. Furthermore, FHF actively investigated and responded to allegations of illegal housing discrimination.Of the seven discrimination claims received,four led to cases being opened for further investigation, while three were resolved. The majority of these allegations were related to familial status and source of income, highlighting a critical area of concern in fair housing enforcement. Education and Outreach Activities The FHF implemented a comprehensive and extensive education and outreach program aimed at raising awareness and understanding of fair housing laws among key stakeholders such as managers, tenants, landlords, owners, realtors, and property management companies. The program was designed to promote media and consumer interest and encourage grassroots involvement within the community. FHF specifically targeted their outreach efforts towards individuals and protected classes most likely to face housing discrimination. 2024/25 CAPER 35 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 247 Throughout the year, FHF carried out a variety of activities to benefit residents of Huntington Beach.This included regular"All Area Activities" and specific initiatives focused solely on the Huntington Beach community.The Foundation actively participated in numerous community relations events, including engaging with four agencies to discuss fair housing, staffing two booths in collaboration with the Oak View Family Resource Center,attending nine community meetings,delivering five community presentations, hosting five workshops and walk-in clinics on fair housing, and distributing 4,00o pieces of literature throughout Huntington Beach. These efforts underscore FHF's commitment to advancing fair housing practices and enhancing community education. Finally, the City worked to enhance access to services and housing for residents with limited English proficiency. For the federal CDBG program, the City offered to make public notices available in English and Spanish, and ensured translators were available at public meetings, if requested. 2024/25 CAPER 36 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 248 CR-4o - Monitoring Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements. The City follows monitoring procedures for subrecipients,which includes a thorough in-house review of quarterly progress reports and expenditures, and an annual desk review or on-site visit to ensure compliance with federal regulations. The monitoring system encourages uniform reporting to achieve consistent information on beneficiaries. Technical assistance is provided throughout the program year on an as-needed basis. No formal monitoring of public service agreements was conducted in FY 2024/25; however, staff will pick up monitoring of subrecipients in early 2025126. The City also performs project monitoring of all rent restricted affordable units assisted with HOME, CDBG, and t former Redevelopment Agency Housing Set-Aside Funds, and in accordance with 24 CFR 92.504(d): • Annual audits for compliance with regulatory agreement affordability covenants; and • On site visits, which include property inspections of randomly selected units assisted with HOME, CDBG, and former Redevelopment Agency Housing Set-Aside Funds. In addition, the City encouraged minority business outreach in all of its federally assisted (CDBG and HOME) construction work in excess of $2,000. As part of the Notice Inviting Bid procedures, the City requires subrecipients undertaking improvements, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of community and private facilities, infrastructure projects, and affordable housing developments to make a good faith effort to hire women or minority-based businesses and to require equal employment opportunity for all individuals and business concerns. Citizen Participation Plan Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reports. Pursuant to 24 CFR Part 91,the City solicited public review and comment on the draft 2024/25 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER).A notice was published in The Wave on August 28,2025,indicating a public review period from August 28,2025,through September 16, 2025.The 2024125 CAPER was available in hard copy at Huntington Beach City 2024/25 CAPER 37 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 249 Hall and for public review on the City's website at: http://www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/cdbg/. Copies were also available to be emailed or delivered via U.S. mail to interested persons. A public meeting to approve the plan will be held on September 16, 2025. 2024/25 CAPER 38 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 250 CR-45 - CDBG Specify the nature of,and reasons for,any changes in the jurisdiction's program objectives and indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its experiences. Between July 1, 2024, and June 3o, 2025, the City of Huntington Beach submitted two minor amendments to its FY 2024/25 Annual Action Plan. On August 7, 2024, the City submitted an amendment increasing the allocation for the Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants Program from $271,385 to $375,445, which raised the performance goal from 8 to 12 housing units. On October i6,2024,a second amendment was processed to add$19,644 in unallocated funds to the Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants Program, bringing the total allocation to $395,089 and increasing the performance goal to 13 housing units. This amendment also allocated $76,882 in unallocated CDBG funds to the Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program, increasing its performance goal from 25 to 3o households, while the Housing Services for Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program goal was increased from 55 to 6o households.

Huntington Beach monitors HOME-assisted affordable rental housing to determine compliance with HOME property standards set forth in 24 CFR 92.251 and with the Housing Quality Standards ("HQS") found in 24 CFR 882.109. The City has partnered with several CHDOs and for-profit developers throughout the years to develop affordable housing including the Orange County Community Housing Corporation (OCCHC), Collette's Children's Home, Interval House, and Jamboree to name a few. In FY 2024125, 8 HOME affordable housing projects encompassing 56 units total were sampled, monitored and inspected.

During FY 2024/25, the City collected and monitored eight Affirmative Marketing and Tenant Selection Plans and all were in compliance with the affordable housing agreements and with the requirements at 24 CFR 200.620. Refer to IDIS reports to describe the amount and use of program income for projects,including 2024/25 CAPER 40 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 252 the number of projects and owner and tenant characteristics. Huntington Beach had a total of$113,098.13 in HOME program income in FY 2024/25($96001.93 from prior year receipts,and $17,097 in new receipts),all of which is attributed to homeowner rehabilitation loan payoffs and residual receipts from affordable housing development projects. The City disbursed program income in the amount of$113,198.13 for the following activities: • $96,1o1.13 on IDIS#65o HOME Program Administration • $17,097 on IDIS #730 2022 Mercy House Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program (homeless, at risk of homelessness,victims of domestic violence, and veterans) Consistent with HUD regulations, the City drew down program income before requesting funds from the HOME letter of credit. Describe other actions taken to foster and maintain affordable housing. As part of its ongoing commitment to meeting housing needs and supporting vulnerable populations, the City of Huntington Beach has advanced several significant projects and partnerships in recent years. In the FY 2020/21 Annual Action Plan, the City allocated $2.8 million in HOME funds to support the development of a 43-unit senior affordable housing community located at 18431 Beach Boulevard. Developed in partnership with Jamboree Housing Corporation, the project created much-needed housing opportunities for older adults in Huntington Beach. Of the 43 units, nine were designated as HOME-restricted and made available to eligible senior households in FY 2024/25, ensuring long-term affordability for some of the city's most vulnerable residents. In addition to new construction, the City worked collaboratively with the County of Orange, National CORE, and American Family Housing to address homelessness through the adaptive reuse of an existing property. Together, the partners repurposed the former Quality Inn & Suites at 17251 Beach Boulevard into the Huntington Beach Oasis, a non-congregate shelter designed to serve adult individuals and households experiencing homelessness within the Orange County Central Service Planning Area. The Oasis provided 62 interim housing units coupled with supportive services aimed at addressing residents' complex needs and helping them transition toward stability. By May 2024, the facility had successfully transitioned into permanent housing, representing a major milestone in the city's efforts to reduce homelessness through innovative housing solutions. 2024/25 CAPER 41 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 253 Beyond development projects,the City has also expanded direct assistance programs to help residents maintain stable housing. In collaboration with Families Forward and Mercy House, Huntington Beach provided tenant-based rental assistance that supported 4o households within the city. Recognizing the particular financial challenges facing older residents, the City also launched a housing assistance program for income-eligible senior mobile homeowners. In FY 2024/25, this initiative provided space rent assistance to 22 senior households, offering meaningful relief to a population that often struggles with fixed incomes and rising housing costs. 2024/25 CAPER 42 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) 254 - I CR-58 - Section 3 Identify the number of individuals assisted and the types of assistance provided.
