REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Travis Hopkins, City Manager
VIA: Jennifer Villasenor, Director of Community Development
PREPARED BY: Charles Kovac, Housing Manager
Subject:
2026-27 Annual Action Plan for Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Programs - A-j(b j' p.. )Itti-ibyt No, 202(p-ID
Statement of Issue:
The City receives annual federal funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs. These programs support housing,
community services, and infrastructure improvements that benefit low-income residents. To remain
eligible for these grant funds, the City must submit an Annual Action Plan to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) each year describing how these funds will be used. The
deadline for submission of the 2026-27 Action Plan to HUD is May 15, 2026.
The proposed 2026-27 Annual Action Plan includes funding recommendations developed through a
public process led by the Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB). The plan outlines how federal
funding will be allocated for the upcoming fiscal year.
Financial Impact:
The City will receive $1,432,332 in CDBG and $696,389.66 in HOME funds for FY 2026-27. These
federal funds will be used for eligible housing, community services, and capital improvement activities
as outlined in the Annual Action Plan. Approval of the 2026-27 Action Plan will not impact the City's
General Fund.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the following in compliance with the
Consolidated Plan Procedures of 24 CFR Part 91:
A) Conduct a public hearing for the 2026-27 Action Plan; and,
B) Adopt Resolution No. 2026-10, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach,

California, Approving the 2026-2027 Action Plan for Federal Community Development Block Grant
and HOME Investment Partnerships Programs"; and,
C) Authorize the City Manager to sign all necessary related documents.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the 2026-27 Annual Action Plan and provide alternative direction to staff. If the City
does not submit an approved Action Plan to HUD by May 15, 2026, the City would be out of
compliance with federal requirements and would likely forfeit CDBG and HOME funding. The City
Council may also choose to modify the recommended funding allocations within the overall funding
limits described in this report.
Analysis:
Background
Each year, the City receives federal funding through the CDBG and HOME programs to support
housing, public services, and community improvements for low-income residents.
These funds must be used in accordance with:
• HUD regulations, and
• The City's 2025-29 Consolidated Plan
HUD requires a public process to determine how funds are allocated. Each year, the City:
• Publishes a Notice of Funding Availability
• Invites local community organizations to apply
• Conducts public meetings and hearings
The CPAB reviews applications, receives public input, and makes funding recommendations to the
City Council.
The recommendations are included in the 2026-27 Annual Action Plan (Attachment 2, Exhibit B),
which must be approved by the City Council and submitted to HUD by May 15, 2026.
Funding Overview
CDBG and HOME funds are used across three primary categories:
1. Public services
2. Capital and housing projects
3. Program administration
In addition to annual entitlement funding, the City may also have:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AP-o5 Executive Summary-24 CFR 91.2oo(c),91.22o(b)
Introduction
The Huntington Beach 2025126-2029/3o Consolidated Plan ("Con Plan") constitutes the City's
strategy for addressing its housing and community development needs utilizing federal
entitlement funds.The goals are to assist low-and moderate-income persons,provide decent
housing, create suitable living environments, and expand economic opportunities. Included
in the Consolidated Plan are broad five-year objectives and strategies to accomplish these
goals. Specific identifiable benchmarks for measuring progress in realizing the City's strategy
are proposed in the Annual Action Plans.
The 2026/27 Annual Action Plan includes application for funds under two different HUD
entitlement programs - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME
Investment Partnership Program (HOME). Current year entitlements combined with
reallocations and repayments from prior year activities (program income) bring the total
funding for Program Year 2026/27 to just nearly$2.13 million.The following Annual Action Plan
describes resources, programs, activities and actions Huntington Beach will undertake in FY
2026/27 to implement its strategic plan and ultimately achieve its Consolidated Plan goals and
objectives,summarized in the table on the following page.

Summary of the Objectives and Outcomes Identified in the Plan Needs Assessment
Overview
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has established three
predetermined objectives and outcomes designed to capture the range of community
impacts that occur as a result of CDBG and HOME-funded programs. Each activity or program
funded with CDBG or HOME must fall under one of three objectives and one of three
outcomes.The framework of selecting these objectives and outcomes is known as HUD's CPD
Outcome Performance Measurement System. Here are the objectives and outcomes to
choose from:
Objectives
• Creating Suitable Living Environments relates to activities that are designed to benefit
communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment,
from physical problems with their environment to social issues.
• Providing Decent Housing covers the wide range of housing activities where the
purpose is to meet individual family or community housing needs.
• Creating Economic Opportunities applies to activities related to economic
development, commercial revitalization, or job creation.
Outcomes
• Availability/Accessibility applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public
services, public facilities, housing, or shelter available or accessible to low- and
moderate-income people, including persons with disabilities.
• Affordability applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low-
and moderate-income people and is appropriate to use whenever an activity is
lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or
service to benefit a low-income household.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2O26/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 4
• Sustainability applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or
neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons
of low- and moderate-income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas,
through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods.
The City of Huntington Beach has ambitious objectives for spending its federal entitlement
grant funding. The objectives are identified in the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment which
was developed by reviewing census statistical data and building upon already adopted
planning documents, coupled with consultation with housing, homeless and service
providers, City Departments, and the public via community meetings, public hearings, and a
Community Needs Assessment Survey.The result was the formation of seven areas of priority
need, including:
1. Housing Needs: The need for affordable housing options in the City continues to be
high, based on the proportion of households in the City experiencing cost burdens.
2. Community Facility Needs:The City recognizes the high need for public improvement
activities throughout the City in order to provide for and maintain a safe and decent
environment for its citizens. Identified community facility needs include, but are not
limited to, parks and playgrounds, community and neighborhood facilities, and
childcare and youth centers.
3. Infrastructure Needs: The City recognizes the high need for public infrastructure
improvements throughout the City in order to provide for and maintain a safe and
decent environment for its citizens. Identified public infrastructure needs include, but
are not limited to, sidewalk improvements, bicycle and walking paths, street and alley
improvements, and tree planting and beautification.
4. Homeless Needs: The is a high need for continued investment of federal funding into
serving the City's homeless and at risk of homelessness populations. Using CDBG
public service funds,the City will provide assistance to homeless service providers that
assist various subcategories of homeless populations such as homeless youth and
women.
5. Special Needs: Huntington Beach prioritizes housing and services for special needs
populations. Special needs populations include the elderly, families with young
children,developmentally disabled,victims of domestic violence,homeless individuals,
and those with behavioral or physical health issues.
6. Community Service Needs:There are a number of vital community services in the City
that need continued support. These community services serve low- to moderate-
income households and generally do not fall under the other service populations
(homeless, special needs, etc.).
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2O26/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 5
7. Other Housing and Community Development Needs:The City has identified the need
to provide support for the HOME and CDBG programs in the City, as well as to
affirmatively further fair housing.These activities are vital to the continuation of the
City's efforts to administer these programs.
Evaluation of Past Performance
HUD requires grantees to provide an evaluation of past performance. Because programs
included in the first year of the new Consolidated Plan (FY 2025126) are still in progress, the
performance summary below reflects the City's accomplishments during the most recently
completed Consolidated Plan period, covering FY 2020/21 through FY 2024/25•
Decent Housing
• In FY 2020/21, the City of Huntington Beach allocated $2.8 million in HOME funding to
support the development of a 43-unit affordable senior housing project at 18431 Beach
Boulevard. This project, in partnership with the Community Housing Development
Organization (CHDO) Jamboree Housing Corporation, is a significant step in
addressing the housing needs of seniors. Of the 43 units, nine are HOME-income and
rent-restricted, ensuring affordability for very-low-income households. The project
was completed in December 2024 and contributes to nearly 5o% of the City's 20-unit
development goal for the 2o2o/21-2o24125 Consolidated Plan period.
• Since July 2020, the City has allocated nearly $3 million in HOME funds for the Tenant-
Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program, which helps low- and moderate-income
households with rental costs. This program has been instrumental in addressing
housing affordability challenges and has assisted 262 households so far, showcasing
its effectiveness in supporting vulnerable populations.
• The City's Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants Program provides critical
support to lower-income homeowners. The Rehabilitation Grant Program offers one-
time grants of up to$20,00o for deferred maintenance and health/safety repairs,while
the Rehabilitation Loan Program offers deferred payment loans up to $75,00o for
larger repairs. To date, 63 homeowner rehabilitation projects have been completed
through these programs,with more households currently being assisted in FY 2024/25•
These efforts demonstrate the City's ongoing commitment to supporting
homeownership and preserving affordable housing for its residents.
Suitable Living Environment
• The City's Special Code Enforcement program has consistently surpassed its goal of
assisting 60o housing units each year in CDBG-eligible areas. Since July 2020, the
program has issued over 5,578 code violations, which in most cases, are voluntarily
addressed by homeowners. This proactive approach to maintaining community
standards and ensuring safe and habitable living conditions, underscores the City's
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2O26/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 6
commitment to ensuring compliance with housing standards and contributing to the
overall well-being and livability of neighborhoods within CDBG-eligible areas.
• The City of Huntington Beach continues to prioritize the delivery of high-quality
services to various segments of the community,including youth, homeless individuals,
seniors, the disabled, and illiterate adults.These efforts are supported through public
service funding and aim to improve the well-being and accessibility of essential
services for residents.
Since July 2020, the City has made significant progress in its public service initiatives.
For example, over 867 youth have benefited from subsidized after-school
programming, enriching their educational experiences and offering valuable
opportunities for personal growth. Additionally, 2,829 homeless individuals have
received a range of services, including case management, emergency housing,
outreach services, and other supportive programs. These efforts highlight the City's
commitment to addressing homelessness and supporting vulnerable populations.
Furthermore, 1,448 seniors and individuals with special needs have accessed services
through the City's Senior Care Services Program and the Oak View Family Literacy
Program. These programs are designed to meet the specific needs of these groups,
ensuring they receive the support and care they require. These initiatives reflect the
City's ongoing dedication to enhancing the lives of its residents and ensuring that all
members of the community have access to the services they need.
• As part of its commitment to enhancing public facilities and community infrastructure,
the City set a goal to assist 5,00o persons with improved or new public facilities during
the 202o/21-2024125 Consolidated Plan period. In FY 2023/24, the City allocated CDBG
funding to the Central Library Restrooms Project, which includes ADA improvements.
This project not only contributed to enhancing accessibility but also exceeded the goal
by serving a larger number of individuals than initially targeted.
• The City used CDBG funding in FY 2020/21, 2021/22, FY 2023/24, and in FY 2024/25 to
make ADA curb cut improvements in various areas of the City.By the end of FY 2024/25,
9,312 persons benefited from the handicap-accessible curb cuts, surpassing the 5-year
goal of 2,000.
Economic Opportunity
In 2024,the City of Huntington Beach updated its Economic Development Strategic Plan.The
City Council initiated this update to reinforce existing economic development efforts,address
current needs, and prioritize new initiatives.The plan provides a roadmap for strengthening
the local economy, creating jobs, and ensuring that Huntington Beach remains a vibrant and
welcoming place for businesses, residents, and visitors. A blend of new initiatives and
enhancements across four main areas are featured in the plan:
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 7
• Business Retention,Attraction & Expansion
• Tourism, Culture&Community
• Responsive& Effective Government
• Communication &Collaboration
The plan aims to enhance the City's economic vitality and quality of life by retaining and
attracting a diversified mix of businesses, strengthening tourism and cultural offerings,
growing the Streamline Surf City Initiative, and fostering stronger collaboration with local
stakeholders. Each area includes specific goals and objectives with actionable milestones, as
well as priorities for the upcoming year.
In addition,in October 2023,the City Council adopted the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan for the City
of Huntington Beach. This 2023-2027 Strategic Plan identifies various policies and programs
that the City should prioritize, over and above normal operations,within the limited financial,
human, and operational resources of the City. The goal of economic development is for
greater business retention, investment, and job growth in Huntington Beach.
Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
The City developed its Con Plan through extensive consultation and coordination with
housing, social service and healthcare providers;public agencies;and the local public housing
agency as presented in Table 2. As a means of gaining input from these agencies, the City
conducted an agency consultation workshop, public meetings, a survey, and invited local
grantees to provide comments on the draft Con Plan and Annual Action Plan ("AAP"). In
addition,consultation in the development of the Con Plan involved several City departments.

HUNTINGTON BEACH 2O26/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 8
The City of Huntington Beach has followed HUD guidelines for citizen and community
involvement in the preparation of its Con Plan and AAP.This process aims to ensure that the
community has an active role in shaping the documents, which will guide the allocation of
federal funding for housing and community development projects.
To encourage broad participation, the City engaged the public through various activities to
prepare the Con Plan and AAP, including:
• Agency Workshop
• Community Meetings
• Community Needs Survey
• Public Hearings
These efforts allowed residents and stakeholders to provide valuable input on the City's
priorities and needs.
A draft of the five-year Con Plan was available for public comment from April 4 to May 6,2025.
During this period,the public had the opportunity to review and provide feedback on the draft
plan. Additionally, a City Council public hearing took place on May 6, 2025, offering a final
opportunity for residents and interested parties to comment on the plan before it was
formally adopted and submitted to HUD.
Citizen participation for the development of the 2026/27 AAP included a public comment
period from April 3 to May 5, 2026, during which residents and stakeholders could review the
draft APP and provide feedback.A City Council public hearing will also be held on May 5,2026,
offering a final opportunity for input prior to adoption and submission to HUD.All comments
received have been incorporated into the AAP.
Summary of public comments
Public comments received at the agency workshop, community meetings, the results of the
community survey, and comments made at public hearing can be found in the Appendix.
Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them
The City responded to all relevant comments.All comments received were accepted.
Summary
Key findings of the Needs Assessment include:
• Housing overpayment is the most prevalent housing problem,with 76%of Huntington
Beach's low and moderate income(<80%AMI)renter households facing a cost burden
(>30% of income on housing costs), and 40% facing a severe cost burden (>50% of
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 9
income towards housing). Consultation with housing, homeless and public service
providers identify the shortage of affordable rental housing as the most significant
issue facing Huntington Beach's extremely low-, low-and moderate-income residents.
• Household overcrowding is a far less significant problem than overpayment in
Huntington Beach though it has doubled in the last decade from 5% of all renters in
2010 to 10% a decade later (as documented by 2007-2011 and 2016-2020 ACS').
However, certain neighborhoods continue to experience high levels of overcrowding.
• Many of the workers who make up Huntington Beach's workforce earn modest
incomes, making it challenging to afford to in live in the City where they work. The
analysis of rental housing costs and affordability illustrates that households earning
extremely low, low and moderate incomes cannot afford average market rents in
Huntington Beach. Local occupations priced out of the rental market include:
bookkeepers, bus drivers, preschool teachers, retail sales managers, and food service
managers.
• For homeless people or people at-risk of becoming homeless, the most significant
problem is the lack of affordable rental housing. This problem has been compounded
by record high rents combined with decreases in public funding previously used to
support affordable housing.
• The City's Capital Improvement Program identifies the following general projects
(within low- and moderate-income areas) in need of CDBG funds over the next five
years:
✓ American with Disabilities Act(ADA) improvements to public facilities
✓ Sidewalk, curb and gutter improvements, including accessibility ramps
✓ Main Street Library HVAC installation project
✓ Critical repairs to police and fire stations throughout the City
✓ Necessary improvements to the Oak View Library, Oak View Family
Resource Center, Central Library, and playground improvements at 9th
Street and Lagenbeck Parks
' The American Community Survey (ACS), performed by the U.S. Census Bureau, is an ongoing Census statistical
survey that samples a small percentage of the population every year,and publishes five-year averages of this data.
Many of the tables in the Consolidated Plan are "pre-populated" by HUD with data from the 2016-2020 ACS, and
thus the City has utilized the 2016-2020 ACS as the primary data source throughout the Plan.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies(91.215(I)).
The City of Huntington Beach developed its Con Plan through a collaborative process that
involved consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. These stakeholders included the
Orange County Housing Authority, various City departments, health and social service
providers, and neighboring local governments. A key part of this process was seeking input
from housing, homeless, and social service providers active within Huntington Beach.
To gather valuable insights, the City held an agency workshop to better understand the
services they offer, identify priority needs within the community, and pinpoint any gaps in
services.This workshop was an important tool for capturing the perspectives of organizations
that work directly with residents in need of housing assistance, homeless services, and other
social support.
By engaging a diverse group of stakeholders and utilizing surveys and consultations, the City
ensured that the Con Plan was shaped by the knowledge and experiences of those most
directly involved in addressing the community's housing and social service needs. This
collaborative approach was essential in making sure the plan reflects the community's
priorities, ultimately guiding the allocation of resources to effectively address the key
challenges Huntington Beach faces.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children,veterans,and unaccompanied youth)and persons at risk of homelessness
The City of Huntington Beach actively participates in the Orange County Continuum of Care
(CoC), which is led and coordinated by the Orange County Health Care Agency. This
partnership between public and nonprofit entities aims to ensure comprehensive and regional
coordination of efforts and resources to address homelessness and support individuals at risk
of homelessness throughout Orange County.
As part of the CoC, the City's Homeless Outreach Case Manager collaborates with other
stakeholders to promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness.
The CoC serves as a regional convener of year-round planning processes and facilitates the
involvement of public and private agencies within the regional homeless system of care.
The Orange County Continuum of Care system is structured to achieve several key objectives:
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 12

3. Promote Access to Mainstream Programs: The CoC works to ensure that homeless
individuals and families have access to and effectively utilize mainstream programs and
services.
4. Implement Best Practices: It promotes the implementation of best practices and
evidence-based approaches to homeless programming and services to ensure
effectiveness and efficiency.
By actively participating in the Orange County Continuum of Care, the City of Huntington
Beach contributes to the collective efforts aimed at addressing homelessness and improving
outcomes for individuals and families experiencing housing instability in the region.

Identify any Agency Types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting
The City of Huntington Beach diligently engaged in the development of its Consolidated Plan
by consulting with a broad spectrum of stakeholders.These consultations included housing,
social, and health service providers, as well as local agencies and governments, and the
Orange County Housing Authority. By actively seeking input from these various entities, the
City ensured that a comprehensive range of perspectives and expertise were considered in
the planning process.The City is unaware of any Agency Types relevant to the Consolidated
Plan that were not consulted.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
The City followed HUD's guidelines for citizen and community involvement in preparation of
the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan.To encourage citizen participation in the preparation
of the documents,the City undertook several activities as summarized below.
Housing and Community Development Needs Survey
In order to evaluate public opinion of specific housing and community development needs in
preparation of the 2025126-2029/3o Consolidated Plan, the City utilized a Needs Survey (in
English and Spanish) in which the respondent was asked to rank the level of need for a
particular housing program,capital improvement and public infrastructure project,and public
service need.
Hard copies of the survey were distributed in various community locations within low- and
moderate-income neighborhoods and at the Senior Center and published on the City's
website. A total of 334 responses were received with the following results:
• Top Housing Needs include the construction of new or rehabilitation of existing affordable
rental housing, property maintenance/code enforcement, and the development of
affordable senior housing.
• Top Capital Improvement Needs include parks and playgrounds,
community/neighborhood centers, and childcare/youth centers.
• Top Infrastructure Improvement Needs include sidewalk improvements, bicycle and
walking paths, street/alley improvements, and tree planting/beatification projects.
• Top Public Service Needs include anti-crime, homelessness, and domestic violence
preventative and response services.
A copy of the Housing and Community Development Survey, along with the Needs Survey
Report can be found in the Appendix of the Con Plan.
Community Workshops
For the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City held two community workshops on
October 30, 2024, at Oak View Community Center and November 7, 2024, at Central Library.
The presentation covered CDBG and HOME programs, eligible funding uses, and current
funding uses,while also gathering public input on priority needs. Sixteen residents attended.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 21
Stakeholders Workshop
As part of the preparation of the Consolidated Plan, on November 14, 2024, a stakeholders
meeting was convened with various agencies that provide services to Huntington Beach's
low- and moderate-income households, special needs populations, and homeless
populations. The discussion focused on identifying priority needs and gaps in the services
provided. A total of eight agencies participated in the meeting, including those offering fair
housing,tenant-based rental assistance, homelessness support, literacy programs, and other
public services.
FY 2o26/27 Annual Action Plan Citizen Participation
The citizen participation plan implemented by the City of Huntington Beach for its federal
CDBG and HOME programs demonstrates a strong commitment to engaging residents in the
planning and implementation process. Here are the key highlights of the plan:
1. Encouragement of Citizen Participation: All citizens of Huntington Beach are
encouraged to participate in the planning, development, and implementation of the
Annual Action Plan. This inclusive approach ensures that the voices of all community
members, including those from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, are heard and
considered in the decision-making process.
2. Regular Contact with CDBG-Funded Organizations: Organizations receiving direct
CDBG funding maintain regular contact with City staff. This ongoing communication
facilitates collaboration and ensures that funded programs align with the goals and
priorities outlined in the Annual Action Plan.
3. Consultation with Other Organizations: Other organizations are consulted as needed
or are present at various public hearings held by the City. This ensures that a broad
spectrum of community stakeholders,beyond direct CDBG-funded organizations,have
the opportunity to contribute their input and perspectives to the planning process.
4. Notice of Public Hearings:A Notice of Public Hearing is published at least 15 days prior
to each hearing to provide residents with adequate notice.This ensures transparency
and allows residents to plan and participate in the hearings effectively.
5. Public Comment Period: A draft of the Annual Action Plan was made available for
public comment for a minimum of 3o days (April 3 — May 5, 2026), allowing residents
ample time to review the plan and provide feedback.This extended comment period
demonstrates a commitment to soliciting and considering public input before
finalizing the plan.
6. Public Hearings: Two public hearings are held each year by the City to discuss issues
related to the Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan. These hearings provide
citizens with multiple opportunities to engage in the planning process, offer feedback
on draft plans, and raise any concerns or questions they may have. This ensures that

EXPECTED RESOURCES
AP-15 Expected Resources—91.22o(c)(1,2)
Introduction
Huntington Beach is an entitlement jurisdiction and as such, will receive $1,091,165 in CDBG
entitlement funds,will have approximately$3o8,167 in prior year CDBG funds carried forward,
and is estimated to receive around $33,00o in program income for a total of 0,432,332. The
City does not have any income from float-funded activities or surplus from urban renewal
settlements,sale of real property, prior period adjustments, loans outstanding or written off,
CDBG-acquired property available for sale, or lump sum drawdown payments. Nor is the City
funding any "urgent need activities." CDBG funds will be used for public services, housing
services in support of eligible HOME activities, a homeowner rehabilitation program, code
enforcement, infrastructure improvements,and CDBG administration.
The City will also receive a HOME entitlement allocation of$516,907.66.The City does not have
any unallocated prior-year funds to reprogram for activities in FY 2026/27 and does not
anticipate receiving any program income during the program year. However, the City does
have $179,482 in Community Housing Development Organization (CH DO) reserve funds that
will be carried over to FY 2026/27 for use on a future affordable housing project. This brings
the total HOME funding for FY 2026/27 to $696,389.66.
The City plans to use HOME allocation funds for program administration and three tenant-
based rental assistance programs and will reserve at least 15%for a future affordable housing
project. The City also proposes using prior years HOME administrative funds to support
current-year fair housing services.
SB-2, also known as the Permanent Local Housing Allocation funding, was implemented in
January 2019. It imposes an additional recording fee on property sales, with the aim of
collecting revenues that are then distributed by the state to local jurisdictions. These funds
are earmarked for financing affordable housing projects and homeless prevention activities.
Huntington Beach is set to receive annual revenues from this source, but it's contingent upon
the certification of the 2021-2029 Housing Element by the State of California. Once the
Housing Element is certified, Huntington Beach can continue to access these funds. This
funding serves as a crucial resource that can be utilized to complement CDBG and HOME
funds,particularly in addressing issues related to affordable housing and homelessness within
the community. Leveraging these various funding sources can significantly bolster efforts to
combat housing insecurity and homelessness in Huntington Beach.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 25
The Huntington Beach Housing Authority also contributes approximately $220,00o annually
from the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF) for homeless services
personnel as part of the City's Homeless Taskforce effort.
The City will pursue competitive public and private grants for the development and
preservation of programs, housing, and services and work to support legislation that
promotes funding for future affordable housing during the Consolidated Plan period.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Federal funds play a vital role in implementing the Consolidated Plan. Since local, private,and
non-federal resources are often insufficient to meet the community's demand for housing and
services, agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds rely on substantial financial and in-kind
support from individuals, foundations, and private organizations to address the needs
outlined in the plan.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 26
Additionally, the City leverages other resources from formula grant programs. For instance,
the HOME program is supported by a range of funding sources, including private and public
investments, as well as low-income housing tax credits. Other potential matching funds
include inclusionary housing in-lieu fees, residual receipts from former Redevelopment
Agency loans, and State SERAF loan repayments from former Redevelopment Low/Mod
Housing Funds.
Historically, the City has used former redevelopment tax increment funds and surplus
contributions from the Redevelopment Agency to meet the 25%match requirement for HOME
funds. Although redevelopment tax increment funds are no longer available for future
matches, the City continues to use the surplus for this purpose. As of September 2024, the
latest information available, the surplus stands at approximately $3,603,310.56, providing a
valuable resource for meeting match requirements and supporting affordable housing
development.
If appropriate,describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City Council approved the acquisition of property at 17631 Cameron Lane, which was
developed as an emergency homeless shelter to address the needs of the homeless
population. This aligns with the priority need identified in the previous 202o/2i-2024/25
Consolidated Plan and continues to be a priority in the 2025126-202913o Consolidated Plan.

Introduction
The City plans to undertake the following CDBG and HOME-funded activities during FY 2026/27
to address its priority housing and community development needs. All proposed activities are
eligible and meet program service targets.Additionally,the City of Huntington Beach has not
exceeded any of its maximum allocations for CDBG public services, CDBG administration, or
HOME administration.With an estimated CDBG allocation of$1,091,165,the City of Huntington
Beach will allocate $163,674 for public services, representing almost 15% of the CDBG
entitlement,the max allowable.This Action Plan proposes to allocate the following to 2026/27
public services: Pathways to Independence ($25,382); Project Hope Alliance ($23,382);
Robyne's Nest ($22,382); StandUp for Kids ($17,382); Senior Outreach Care Management
($22,382);All for Kids Organization(formerly Children's Bureau)($20,382);and Save the Brave
Offshore Fishing Program ($32,382). CDBG regulations also permit a maximum allocation of
20% of the annual entitlement, or $218,233, for CDBG administration activities. The City has
allocated this entire amount to CDBG Administration. Lastly, a maximum of 10% of the annual
HOME entitlement, $51,690.77, will be allocated to HOME Program Administration in FY
2026/27.
Consistent with the City's Citizen Participation Plan for 2025126-202913o, the Annual Action
Plan may contain a list of "back-up" projects to be activated during the given program year
due to one or more of the following circumstances:
• Additional funding becomes available during the program year from the close out of
current projects that were completed under budget.
• More program income becomes available than originally estimated and budgeted in
the Annual Action Plan.
• If, during the development of the Annual Action Plan, the City of Huntington Beach
has not definitively decided which public facility or infrastructure improvement
project to fund,the City may opt to categorize each option as a"back-up"project until
further project and budget planning is performed. Initiation and funding of one or
more of the "back-up" projects would not constitute a substantial amendment as
defined in the Citizen Participation Plan. Preferential consideration will be given to
those projects that demonstrate the ability to spend CDBG funds in a timely manner,
consistent with the City's goal to meet CDBG timeliness rules,as well as those projects
that meet the needs of the community as defined in the Consolidated Plan.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The highest priority is given to the needs of the lowest-income residents, recognizing their
increased vulnerability to displacement, homelessness, and other severe housing challenges
due to limited financial resources and various other hardships they may face.
The Consolidated Plan highlights several barriers to addressing underserved needs, including
the persistent high demand for public services and the insufficient funding available to meet
the community's needs, particularly in housing. This plan allocates resources specifically
aimed at overcoming these challenges.

AP-5o Geographic Distribution-91.22o(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement(including areas of low-income and
minority concentration)where assistance will be directed
Huntington Beach, located in northwestern Orange County, is an urbanized coastal
community characterized by extensive residential development. With most residentially
designated land already built out, future housing growth is expected to occur primarily
through infill development and the reuse of existing parcels. The City is bordered by Seal
Beach to the northwest,Westminster to the northeast, Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa to the
east, Newport Beach to the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME)
funds are allocated citywide to support eligible projects and programs, with a focus on
addressing the needs of the most vulnerable neighborhoods, particularly those in which at
least 51 percent of residents are low-to moderate-income.
To support targeted code enforcement efforts, the City conducted a visual survey of CDBG-
eligible areas to identify properties, businesses, parkways, alleys, and structures exhibiting
code violations. This assessment identified a concentrated area of deterioration generally
bounded by Bolsa Chica Street to the west, Bolsa Avenue to the north, Brookhurst Street to
the east, and Atlanta Avenue to the south. This area, designated as the "Special Code
Enforcement Target Area," includes several census tracts with a combined population of
approximately 67,625 residents, of whom 45,30o individuals—nearly 7o percent—are
classified as low-to moderate-income.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities—91.220(i)
Introduction
Homelessness remains a growing challenge nationwide, including in the Los Angeles County
and Orange County regions. Contributing factors include a shortage of affordable housing,
rising poverty, reductions in public assistance, substance use disorders, the
deinstitutionalization of individuals with mental illness, and other complex socioeconomic
conditions.
To better understand and respond to homelessness, Orange County conducts a biennial
enumeration of both sheltered and unsheltered individuals experiencing homelessness
during a 24-hour period. This effort, known as the Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, is
required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for all jurisdictions
receiving federal homeless assistance funding. HUD requires that the PIT Count occur during
the last ten days of January. The most recent count was conducted on January 26-27, 2026;
however,final data and the official report are not expected to be available until May 2026.
The 2024 PIT Count, conducted by the County of Orange in coordination with the Orange
County Continuum of Care, included a sheltered count on January 22, 2024, followed by an
unsheltered count from January 23 through January 25, 2024. The count identified 7,322
individuals experiencing homelessness countywide, representing a 28 percent increase from
the 2022 total of 5,7i8 individuals.
Within Huntington Beach, the 2024 PIT Count identified 433 individuals experiencing
homelessness, including i73 unsheltered and 260 sheltered persons.This reflects an increase
from 2022, when 33o individuals were counted, including 188 unsheltered and 142 sheltered
persons.
Addressing homelessness remains a top priority for the City. Huntington Beach has
established a comprehensive System of Care for individuals experiencing or at risk of
homelessness, with an emphasis on outreach, engagement, case management, and
connections to shelter, housing, and supportive services.The City's Homeless and Behavioral
Health Division is committed to a balanced approach that combines compassionate service
delivery with efforts to maintain overall community quality of life.
Describe the jurisdictions'one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 56
The City of Huntington Beach Homeless and Behavioral Health Division conducts proactive
outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness through a coordinated, multidisciplinary
approach that includes Outreach Social Workers,and Homeless Task Force Officers.
Outreach Social Workers play a critical role in engaging individuals, families, seniors, and
veterans who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. They assess barriers to housing
stability, including income limitations, lack of access to basic needs, behavioral health
challenges, and substance use disorders. Outreach staff provide assistance with obtaining
vital documents,facilitate shelter referrals, support family reunification efforts,and advocate
for clients through the Coordinated Entry System.
In addition, Outreach Social Workers collaborate with community groups, faith-based
organizations, and nonprofit partners to strengthen resource connections and referral
networks, while collecting data to inform and improve outreach strategies. They also work
closely with the City's Community Prosecutor to support client compliance with legal
obligations—such as stay-away orders, probation requirements, and the resolution of
outstanding warrants—recognizing that these factors can impact eligibility for housing
opportunities.
Complementing these efforts, the City's Homeless Task Force includes one lieutenant, one
sergeant, and four full-time officers who are specially trained to work with individuals
experiencing homelessness. Utilizing a trauma-informed approach that emphasizes
community engagement and public safety, these officers work closely with Outreach Social
Workers to provide coordinated, field-based support. Their responsibilities include
conducting outreach,facilitating reunification and relocation efforts, and helping individuals
reconnect with family members or access appropriate housing options. Through this
collaborative model, the Homeless Task Force plays a vital role in advancing the City's
comprehensive response to homelessness.
Further, in the ensuing years covered by the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans, the
City plans to support at least four homeless public service programs that provide outreach
and assessment of homeless individuals.The Pathways to Independence Program focuses on
young single women experiencing homelessness,while Project Hope Alliance, Robyne's Nest,
and StandUp for Kids Street Outreach focus on homeless youth and providing wrap around
services unique to young individuals such as mentoring, food, clothing, housing, academic
support, and educational aid.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Huntington Beach addresses the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs
of individuals experiencing homelessness through a combination of interim housing,
supportive services, and long-term housing solutions.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 57
The Huntington Beach Navigation Center serves as the City's primary emergency housing
facility, offering 164 beds for individuals (reduced from 174 beds in 2025), couples, and non-
binary residents, ensuring inclusive access to shelter. Operating at approximately 92 percent
capacity, the Navigation Center differs from traditional shelters by emphasizing
comprehensive, service-enriched support designed to help residents transition out of
homelessness. Eligibility is generally limited to individuals with established ties to Huntington
Beach, allowing the City to prioritize assistance for its local population.
The Navigation Center provides a wide range of supportive services, including transportation
assistance, housing navigation, access to homeless court programs, employment resources,
recreational programming, mobile medical services, and specialized services for veterans. In
addition,the Pathways Project enhances the Center's efforts by promoting long-term housing
stability through coordinated case management and service delivery. Together, these
resources position the Navigation Center as a critical hub for both emergency shelter and
pathways to permanent housing.
In FY 2021/22,the City launched the HB Oasis project in partnership with the State of California
Homekey Program,the County of Orange, National CORE, and American Family Housing.The
project involved acquisition and rehabilitation of the former Quality Inn&Suites motel located
at 17251 Beach Boulevard to provide interim housing for up to 62 individuals and households
within Orange County's Central Service Planning Area. HB Oasis offered transitional housing
alongside comprehensive property management and supportive services grounded in
trauma-informed, evidence-based practices, with a strong focus on case management and
connections to permanent housing.
In May 2024, HB Oasis transitioned from interim housing to permanent supportive housing.
This conversion included renovation of units to incorporate kitchenettes and the use of
project-based vouchers to promote long-term housing stability for residents.
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
The City of Huntington Beach is implementing a comprehensive approach to address
homelessness, with a focus on both immediate relief and long-term solutions. The strategy
involves securing both short-term and long-term funding, collaborating with experienced
service providers,and creating affordable housing opportunities.The City's key efforts aim to
support various populations,including chronically homeless individuals,families with children,
veterans,victims of domestic violence, and unaccompanied youth.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 58
A central initiative is the Navigation Center,which has received around $4.5 million in funding
from CDBG, CDBG-CV, and HOME-ARP grants since 2020. This center offers wraparound
services to help individuals transition from emergency shelter to more stable housing. The
City plans to repurpose the property into a permanent facility that will provide affordable
housing and supportive services for chronically homeless individuals.
Additionally,the City continues to prioritize tenant-based rental assistance(TBRA),with plans
to offer rental subsidies to 27 households in 2026/27. Families Forward is responsible for
providing rental assistance to households with children, while Mercy House focuses on
supporting those experiencing homelessness, victims of domestic violence, and veterans.
Another program is also in place to provide space rent relief for senior mobile homeowners
for up to 24 months.
By focusing on both immediate housing solutions and long-term support, Huntington Beach
is working to not only reduce homelessness but also prevent those recently housed from
falling back into homelessness.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless,especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health
facilities,foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions);
or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social
services,employment,education,or youth needs
To 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.
The City is also committed to supporting families through HOME-funded rental assistance
programs. In FY 2026/27, the City is proposing to support three rental assistance programs
that will assist a variety of vulnerable population groups in Huntington Beach. As mentioned
above, Families Forward assists families that are homeless or at risk of homelessness, while
Mercy House targets lower-income households, homeless persons, veterans, and victims of
domestic violence.The Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program targets senior
owners of mobile homes with space rents.
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.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 59
AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing—91.220(j)
Introduction
Huntington Beach has demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting affordable housing
through various measures, including updates to its zoning ordinance and direct financial
assistance to affordable housing projects. Despite funding constraints resulting from the loss
of Redevelopment Housing Funds, which previously generated approximately $3 million
annually for housing activities, the City remains dedicated to developing affordable housing.
However, one of the primary challenges faced by Huntington Beach in this regard is the
scarcity of vacant land suitable for residential development. Much of the underdeveloped
residentially zoned land is owned by separate owners, making lot consolidation and the
demolition of existing structures necessary to accommodate higher density infill
development.
To address this challenge,the City has adopted alternative policy tools,such as the Amended
Downtown and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plans.These plans provide opportunities
for high-density mixed-use and residential infill development, facilitating the creation of
affordable housing units within the community. Through continued collaboration and
innovative approaches, Huntington Beach aims to overcome barriers and enhance the
availability of affordable housing for its residents.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that
serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls,tax policies affecting
land,zoning ordinances, building codes,fees and charges,growth limitations, and policies
affecting the return on residential investment
Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs,every effort is made to remove
barriers to affordable housing through agreements with for-profit and non-profit 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:
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 60
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 Program and Housing Trust Fund: Continue implementation and re-evaluate
Ordinance to provide consistency with case law and market conditions. 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 the 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 i00% 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.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 61
AP-85 Other Actions—91.220(k)
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City of Huntington Beach has identified long-range strategies, activities, and funding
sources to advance its housing and community development goals for the benefit of
residents. The City will continue to pursue additional resources to address one of the most
significant challenges to meeting underserved needs—limited and insufficient funding. It will
also explore innovative and creative approaches to strengthen its service delivery systems
while maintaining and expanding partnerships with both for-profit and nonprofit
organizations.
Through the strategic use of CDBG and HOME funds, the City will prioritize the development
and preservation of affordable rental housing, tenant-based rental assistance, and
homeowner rehabilitation programs. Federal funding is also being utilized to address key
housing needs, including housing availability, housing conditions, and the promotion of fair
housing practices to help prevent homelessness. In addition, the City will continue to invest
in community development activities such as infrastructure improvements, public facility
enhancements, and code enforcement efforts. Recognizing that many challenges extend
beyond local boundaries, the City is also collaborating with neighboring jurisdictions to
support a coordinated regional approach to addressing underserved needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan identifies both the preservation of existing
affordable housing and the development of new units as key priorities for the 2025126-
202913o planning period. To support transparency and public access to information, the City
will continue maintaining its online Affordable Housing Viewer, which allows residents to
easily locate affordable housing developments throughout the community.
The City will also continue supporting tenant-based rental assistance programs through a
combination of CDBG and HOME funding. In FY 2026/27, approximately $210,00o in CDBG
funds and $411,032.77 in HOME funds are proposed to assist 27 households.Assistance will be
available to income-eligible renters, including seniors residing in mobile home parks who are
facing rising space rents.
In addition, the City will maintain its residential rehabilitation programs to preserve the
existing housing stock and improve living conditions for lower-income homeowners. One
program provides grants of up to $20,00o for emergency repairs and health and safety
improvements,while a second program offers low-interest loans—up to$75,00o at 3 percent
interest—for both single-family and multifamily property improvements. Through these
combined efforts,the City anticipates assisting 18 lower-income households in FY 2026-2027.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 62
To further support affordable housing initiatives, the City is pursuing funding through the SB
2 Planning Grant Program administered by the California Department of Housing and
Community Development. Upon certification of the 2021-2029 Housing Element,the City may
receive approximately $550,00o annually. These funds would help advance efforts to
streamline affordable housing development and leverage existing CDBG and HOME resources
to address both housing affordability and homelessness.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As a means of better protecting children and families against lead poisoning, in 1999 HUD
instituted revised lead-based paint regulations focused around the following five activities:
• Notification
• Lead Hazard Evaluation
• Lead Hazard Reduction
• Ongoing Maintenance
• Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level
The City has implemented HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires
federally funded rehabilitation projects to address lead hazards. Lead-based paint abatement
is part of the City's Residential Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of
Affordable Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for
rehabilitation are tested if not statutorily exempt. Elimination or encapsulation remedies are
implemented if lead is detected and is paid for by either the developer of the project, or with
CDBG or HOME funds, as appropriate.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
Huntington Beach has a strategy to help reduce poverty among local families and individuals.
These programs work together to address both the immediate housing needs of low-income
residents and the long-term economic self-sufficiency of vulnerable populations. Examples of
the poverty reduction efforts include:
• Housing Choice Rental Assistance Program: Over 66o low and extremely low-income
households in Huntington Beach participate in the Housing Choice Rental Assistance
Voucher Program, which is administered by the Orange County Housing Authority
(OCHA). This program directly supports poverty reduction by helping these
households access affordable rental housing, thus easing financial strain and enabling
them to allocate resources toward other basic needs, such as food, healthcare, and
education.
• Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Programs: The City plans to utilize HOME
funds to support three tenant-based rental assistance programs.These programs will
provide direct rental subsidies to eligible low-income households, helping reduce the
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 63
financial burden of housing costs and offering families a better chance at achieving
long-term stability and upward mobility. The City's goal is to provide a total of 27
households with TBRA in FY 2026/27.
• Pathways to Independence Program: With CDBG funding, the City will support the
Pathways to Independence program,which serves single women who are homeless or
unstably housed. This program helps participants achieve economic self-sufficiency
through education and personal development,providing a critical link between stable
housing and the long-term reduction of poverty. By equipping individuals with the
skills and support they need to succeed,the program contributes to breaking the cycle
of homelessness and poverty. Pathways to Independence plans to enroll 40 women
into their program in FY 2026/27.
• Affordable Housing Development: During the five-year period of the Consolidated
Plan, the City will work to utilize HOME funds to gap finance an affordable housing
project at a yet-to-be-determined location. The development of new affordable
housing will directly address the need for affordable living spaces for low-income
families and individuals, providing them with stable housing opportunities that can
help reduce economic vulnerability and improve quality of life.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City proposes to strengthen, coordinate and integrate the governmental institutions,
non-profit and private delivery systems to implement the City's five-year strategy and to
address the priority needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2025126—2029130.
Engaging the community and stakeholders in the delivery of services and programs for the
benefit of low to moderate residents will be vital in overcoming gaps in service delivery.The
City will also utilize 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 planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
In an ongoing effort to bridge the gap of various programs and activities, the City has
developed partnerships and collaborations with local service providers and City departments
that have been instrumental in meeting the needs and demands of the homeless, low-income
individuals and families, and other special needs. The array of partners include, but are not
limited to: the Huntington Beach Police Department, Library Services, Community Services,
and Public Works Departments; Mercy House, Families Forward, Colette's Children's Home,
AMCAL,Orange County Community Housing Corporation,Jamboree Housing, National CORE,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction
The Huntington Beach 2025126-202913o Consolidated Plan ("Con Plan") constitutes the City's
strategy for addressing its housing and community development needs utilizing federal
entitlement funds.The goals are to assist low-and moderate-income persons, provide decent
housing, create suitable living environments, and expand economic opportunities. Included
in the Consolidated Plan are broad five-year objectives and strategies to accomplish these
goals. Specific identifiable benchmarks for measuring progress in realizing the City's strategy
are proposed in the Annual Action Plans.
The 2026/27 Annual Action Plan includes application for funds under two different HUD
entitlement programs - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME
Investment Partnership Program (HOME). Current year entitlements combined with
reallocations and repayments from prior year activities (program income) bring the total
funding for Program Year 2026/27 to just nearly$2.13 million.The following Annual Action Plan
describes resources, programs, activities and actions Huntington Beach will undertake in FY
2026/27 to implement its strategic plan and ultimately achieve its Consolidated Plan goals and
objectives, summarized in the table on the following page.

Summary of the Objectives and Outcomes Identified in the Plan Needs Assessment
Overview
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has established three
predetermined objectives and outcomes designed to capture the range of community
impacts that occur as a result of CDBG and HOME-funded programs. Each activity or program
funded with CDBG or HOME must fall under one of three objectives and one of three
outcomes.The framework of selecting these objectives and outcomes is known as HUD's CPD
Outcome Performance Measurement System. Here are the objectives and outcomes to
choose from:
Objectives
• Creating Suitable Living Environments relates to activities that are designed to benefit
communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment,
from physical problems with their environment to social issues.
• Providing Decent Housing covers the wide range of housing activities where the
purpose is to meet individual family or community housing needs.
• Creating Economic Opportunities applies to activities related to economic
development, commercial revitalization, or job creation.
Outcomes
• Availability/Accessibility applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public
services, public facilities, housing, or shelter available or accessible to low- and
moderate-income people, including persons with disabilities.
• Affordability applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low-
and moderate-income people and is appropriate to use whenever an activity is
lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or
service to benefit a low-income household.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 4
• Sustainability applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or
neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons
of low- and moderate-income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas,
through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods.
The City of Huntington Beach has ambitious objectives for spending its federal entitlement
grant funding. The objectives are identified in the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment which
was developed by reviewing census statistical data and building upon already adopted
planning documents, coupled with consultation with housing, homeless and service
providers, City Departments, and the public via community meetings, public hearings, and a
Community Needs Assessment Survey.The result was the formation of seven areas of priority
need, including:
1. Housing Needs: The need for affordable housing options in the City continues to be
high, based on the proportion of households in the City experiencing cost burdens.
2. Community Facility Needs:The City recognizes the high need for public improvement
activities throughout the City in order to provide for and maintain a safe and decent
environment for its citizens. Identified community facility needs include, but are not
limited to, parks and playgrounds, community and neighborhood facilities, and
childcare and youth centers.
3. Infrastructure Needs: The City recognizes the high need for public infrastructure
improvements throughout the City in order to provide for and maintain a safe and
decent environment for its citizens. Identified public infrastructure needs include, but
are not limited to, sidewalk improvements, bicycle and walking paths, street and alley
improvements, and tree planting and beautification.
4. Homeless Needs: The is a high need for continued investment of federal funding into
serving the City's homeless and at risk of homelessness populations. Using CDBG
public service funds,the City will provide assistance to homeless service providers that
assist various subcategories of homeless populations such as homeless youth and
women.
5. Special Needs: Huntington Beach prioritizes housing and services for special needs
populations. Special needs populations include the elderly, families with young
children,developmentally disabled,victims of domestic violence,homeless individuals,
and those with behavioral or physical health issues.
6. Community Service Needs: There are a number of vital community services in the City
that need continued support. These community services serve low- to moderate-
income households and generally do not fall under the other service populations
(homeless, special needs, etc.).
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 5
7. Other Housing and Community Development Needs:The City has identified the need
to provide support for the HOME and CDBG programs in the City, as well as to
affirmatively further fair housing.These activities are vital to the continuation of the
City's efforts to administer these programs.
Evaluation of Past Performance
HUD requires grantees to provide an evaluation of past performance. Because programs
included in the first year of the new Consolidated Plan (FY 2025/26) are still in progress, the
performance summary below reflects the City's accomplishments during the most recently
completed Consolidated Plan period, covering FY 2020/21 through FY 2024/25.
Decent Housing
• In FY 2020/21, the City of Huntington Beach allocated $2.8 million in HOME funding to
support the development of a 43-unit affordable senior housing project at 18431 Beach
Boulevard. This project, in partnership with the Community Housing Development
Organization (CHDO) Jamboree Housing Corporation, is a significant step in
addressing the housing needs of seniors. Of the 43 units, nine are HOME-income and
rent-restricted, ensuring affordability for very-low-income households. The project
was completed in December 2024 and contributes to nearly 50% of the City's 20-unit
development goal for the 2o2o/21-2o24/25 Consolidated Plan period.
• Since July 2020, the City has allocated nearly $3 million in HOME funds for the Tenant-
Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program, which helps low- and moderate-income
households with rental costs. This program has been instrumental in addressing
housing affordability challenges and has assisted 262 households so far, showcasing
its effectiveness in supporting vulnerable populations.
• The City's Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants Program provides critical
support to lower-income homeowners. The Rehabilitation Grant Program offers one-
time grants of up to$20,00o for deferred maintenance and health/safety repairs,while
the Rehabilitation Loan Program offers deferred payment loans up to $75,00o for
larger repairs. To date, 63 homeowner rehabilitation projects have been completed
through these programs,with more households currently being assisted in FY 2024/25.
These efforts demonstrate the City's ongoing commitment to supporting
homeownership and preserving affordable housing for its residents.
Suitable Living Environment
• The City's Special Code Enforcement program has consistently surpassed its goal of
assisting 60o housing units each year in CDBG-eligible areas. Since July 2020, the
program has issued over 5,578 code violations, which in most cases, are voluntarily
addressed by homeowners. This proactive approach to maintaining community
standards and ensuring safe and habitable living conditions, underscores the City's
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 6
commitment to ensuring compliance with housing standards and contributing to the
overall well-being and livability of neighborhoods within CDBG-eligible areas.
• The City of Huntington Beach continues to prioritize the delivery of high-quality
services to various segments of the community, including youth, homeless individuals,
seniors, the disabled, and illiterate adults.These efforts are supported through public
service funding and aim to improve the well-being and accessibility of essential
services for residents.
Since July 2020, the City has made significant progress in its public service initiatives.
For example, over 867 youth have benefited from subsidized after-school
programming, enriching their educational experiences and offering valuable
opportunities for personal growth. Additionally, 2,829 homeless individuals have
received a range of services, including case management, emergency housing,
outreach services, and other supportive programs. These efforts highlight the City's
commitment to addressing homelessness and supporting vulnerable populations.
Furthermore, 1,448 seniors and individuals with special needs have accessed services
through the City's Senior Care Services Program and the Oak View Family Literacy
Program. These programs are designed to meet the specific needs of these groups,
ensuring they receive the support and care they require. These initiatives reflect the
City's ongoing dedication to enhancing the lives of its residents and ensuring that all
members of the community have access to the services they need.
• As part of its commitment to enhancing public facilities and community infrastructure,
the City set a goal to assist 5,00o persons with improved or new public facilities during
the 202o/2i-2024/25 Consolidated Plan period. In FY 2023124, the City allocated CDBG
funding to the Central Library Restrooms Project, which includes ADA improvements.
This project not only contributed to enhancing accessibility but also exceeded the goal
by serving a larger number of individuals than initially targeted.
• The City used CDBG funding in FY 2020/21, 2021/22, FY 2023/24, and in FY 2024/25 to
make ADA curb cut improvements in various areas of the City. By the end of FY 2024/25,
9,312 persons benefited from the handicap-accessible curb cuts, surpassing the 5-year
goal of 2,000.
Economic Opportunity
In 2024, the City of Huntington Beach updated its Economic Development Strategic Plan.The
City Council initiated this update to reinforce existing economic development efforts,address
current needs, and prioritize new initiatives. The plan provides a roadmap for strengthening
the local economy, creating jobs, and ensuring that Huntington Beach remains a vibrant and
welcoming place for businesses, residents, and visitors. A blend of new initiatives and
enhancements across four main areas are featured in the plan:
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2O26/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 7
• Business Retention,Attraction & Expansion
• Tourism, Culture & Community
• Responsive& Effective Government
• Communication &Collaboration
The plan aims to enhance the City's economic vitality and quality of life by retaining and
attracting a diversified mix of businesses, strengthening tourism and cultural offerings,
growing the Streamline Surf City Initiative, and fostering stronger collaboration with local
stakeholders. Each area includes specific goals and objectives with actionable milestones, as
well as priorities for the upcoming year.
In addition, in October 2023,the City Council adopted the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan for the City
of Huntington Beach. This 2023-2027 Strategic Plan identifies various policies and programs
that the City should prioritize, over and above normal operations, within the limited financial,
human, and operational resources of the City. The goal of economic development is for
greater business retention, investment, and job growth in Huntington Beach.
Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
The City developed its Con Plan through extensive consultation and coordination with
housing,social service and healthcare providers; public agencies;and the local public housing
agency as presented in Table 2. As a means of gaining input from these agencies, the City
conducted an agency consultation workshop, public meetings, a survey, and invited local
grantees to provide comments on the draft Con Plan and Annual Action Plan ("AAP"). In
addition, consultation in the development of the Con Plan involved several City departments.

Summary
Key findings of the Needs Assessment include:
• Housing overpayment is the most prevalent housing problem,with 76%of Huntington
Beach's low and moderate income(<80%AMI)renter households facing a cost burden
(>30% of income on housing costs), and 40% facing a severe cost burden (>50% of
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2°26/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 9
income towards housing). Consultation with housing, homeless and public service
providers identify the shortage of affordable rental housing as the most significant
issue facing Huntington Beach's extremely low-, low-and moderate-income residents.
• Household overcrowding is a far less significant problem than overpayment in
Huntington Beach though it has doubled in the last decade from 5% of all renters in
2010 to io% a decade later (as documented by zoo7-2o1i and 2016-2020 ACS').
However, certain neighborhoods continue to experience high levels of overcrowding.
• Many of the workers who make up Huntington Beach's workforce earn modest
incomes, making it challenging to afford to in live in the City where they work. The
analysis of rental housing costs and affordability illustrates that households earning
extremely low, low and moderate incomes cannot afford average market rents in
Huntington Beach. Local occupations priced out of the rental market include:
bookkeepers, bus drivers, preschool teachers, retail sales managers, and food service
managers.
• For homeless people or people at-risk of becoming homeless, the most significant
problem is the lack of affordable rental housing. This problem has been compounded
by record high rents combined with decreases in public funding previously used to
support affordable housing.
• The City's Capital Improvement Program identifies the following general projects
(within low- and moderate-income areas) in need of CDBG funds over the next five
years:
✓ American with Disabilities Act(ADA) improvements to public facilities
✓ Sidewalk, curb and gutter improvements, including accessibility ramps
✓ Main Street Library HVAC installation project
✓ Critical repairs to police and fire stations throughout the City
✓ Necessary improvements to the Oak View Library, Oak View Family
Resource Center, Central Library, and playground improvements at 9th
Street and Lagenbeck Parks
' The American Community Survey (ACS), performed by the U.S. Census Bureau, is an ongoing Census statistical
survey that samples a small percentage of the population every year, and publishes five-year averages of this data.
Many of the tables in the Consolidated Plan are "pre-populated" by HUD with data from the 2016-2020 ACS, and
thus the City has utilized the 2016-2020 ACS as the primary data source throughout the Plan.

AP-io Consultation—91.100, 91.»0, 91.2oo(b), 91.3oo(b), 91.215(1)and 91.315(I)
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies(91.215(I)).
The City of Huntington Beach developed its Con Plan through a collaborative process that
involved consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. These stakeholders included the
Orange County Housing Authority, various City departments, health and social service
providers, and neighboring local governments. A key part of this process was seeking input
from housing, homeless, and social service providers active within Huntington Beach.
To gather valuable insights, the City held an agency workshop to better understand the
services they offer, identify priority needs within the community, and pinpoint any gaps in
services.This workshop was an important tool for capturing the perspectives of organizations
that work directly with residents in need of housing assistance, homeless services, and other
social support.
By engaging a diverse group of stakeholders and utilizing surveys and consultations, the City
ensured that the Con Plan was shaped by the knowledge and experiences of those most
directly involved in addressing the community's housing and social service needs. This
collaborative approach was essential in making sure the plan reflects the community's
priorities, ultimately guiding the allocation of resources to effectively address the key
challenges Huntington Beach faces.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children,veterans,and unaccompanied youth)and persons at risk of homelessness
The City of Huntington Beach actively participates in the Orange County Continuum of Care
(CoC), which is led and coordinated by the Orange County Health Care Agency. This
partnership between public and nonprofit entities aims to ensure comprehensive and regional
coordination of efforts and resources to address homelessness and support individuals at risk
of homelessness throughout Orange County.
As part of the CoC, the City's Homeless Outreach Case Manager collaborates with other
stakeholders to promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness.
The CoC serves as a regional convener of year-round planning processes and facilitates the
involvement of public and private agencies within the regional homeless system of care.
The Orange County Continuum of Care system is structured to achieve several key objectives:
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 12
1. Promote Community-wide Commitment: The CoC fosters a shared commitment
among stakeholders to end homelessness through regional coordination and
collaboration.
2. Advocate for Funding and Resources: It advocates funding and resources to support
efforts aimed at quickly rehousing individuals experiencing homelessness while
minimizing trauma and dislocation.
3. Promote Access to Mainstream Programs: The CoC works to ensure that homeless
individuals and families have access to and effectively utilize mainstream programs and
services.
4. Implement Best Practices: It promotes the implementation of best practices and
evidence-based approaches to homeless programming and services to ensure
effectiveness and efficiency.
By actively participating in the Orange County Continuum of Care, the City of Huntington
Beach contributes to the collective efforts aimed at addressing homelessness and improving
outcomes for individuals and families experiencing housing instability in the region.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
The City followed HUD's guidelines for citizen and community involvement in preparation of
the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan. To encourage citizen participation in the preparation
of the documents,the City undertook several activities as summarized below.
Housing and Community Development Needs Survey
In order to evaluate public opinion of specific housing and community development needs in
preparation of the 2025/26-2029/3o Consolidated Plan, the City utilized a Needs Survey (in
English and Spanish) in which the respondent was asked to rank the level of need for a
particular housing program, capital improvement and public infrastructure project,and public
service need.
Hard copies of the survey were distributed in various community locations within low- and
moderate-income neighborhoods and at the Senior Center and published on the City's
website. A total of 334 responses were received with the following results:
• Top Housing Needs include the construction of new or rehabilitation of existing affordable
rental housing, property maintenance/code enforcement, and the development of
affordable senior housing.
• Top Capital Improvement Needs include parks and playgrounds,
community/neighborhood centers, and childcare/youth centers.
• Top Infrastructure Improvement Needs include sidewalk improvements, bicycle and
walking paths, street/alley improvements, and tree planting/beatification projects.
• Top Public Service Needs include anti-crime, homelessness, and domestic violence
preventative and response services.
A copy of the Housing and Community Development Survey, along with the Needs Survey
Report can be found in the Appendix of the Con Plan.
Community Workshops
For the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City held two community workshops on
October 3o, 2024, at Oak View Community Center and November 7, 2024, at Central Library.
The presentation covered CDBG and HOME programs, eligible funding uses, and current
funding uses, while also gathering public input on priority needs. Sixteen residents attended.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 21
Stakeholders Workshop
As part of the preparation of the Consolidated Plan, on November 14, 2024, a stakeholders
meeting was convened with various agencies that provide services to Huntington Beach's
low- and moderate-income households, special needs populations, and homeless
populations. The discussion focused on identifying priority needs and gaps in the services
provided. A total of eight agencies participated in the meeting, including those offering fair
housing,tenant-based rental assistance, homelessness support, literacy programs, and other
public services.
FY 2026/27 Annual Action Plan Citizen Participation
The citizen participation plan implemented by the City of Huntington Beach for its federal
CDBG and HOME programs demonstrates a strong commitment to engaging residents in the
planning and implementation process. Here are the key highlights of the plan:
1. Encouragement of Citizen Participation: All citizens of Huntington Beach are
encouraged to participate in the planning, development, and implementation of the
Annual Action Plan. This inclusive approach ensures that the voices of all community
members, including those from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, are heard and
considered in the decision-making process.
2. Regular Contact with CDBG-Funded Organizations: Organizations receiving direct
CDBG funding maintain regular contact with City staff. This ongoing communication
facilitates collaboration and ensures that funded programs align with the goals and
priorities outlined in the Annual Action Plan.
3. Consultation with Other Organizations: Other organizations are consulted as needed
or are present at various public hearings held by the City. This ensures that a broad
spectrum of community stakeholders,beyond direct CDBG-funded organizations,have
the opportunity to contribute their input and perspectives to the planning process.
4. Notice of Public Hearings:A Notice of Public Hearing is published at least-15 days prior
to each hearing to provide residents with adequate notice.This ensures transparency
and allows residents to plan and participate in the hearings effectively.
5. Public Comment Period: A draft of the Annual Action Plan was made available for
public comment for a minimum of 3o days (April 3 — May 5, 2026), allowing residents
ample time to review the plan and provide feedback. This extended comment period
demonstrates a commitment to soliciting and considering public input before
finalizing the plan.
6. Public Hearings: Two public hearings are held each year by the City to discuss issues
related to the Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan. These hearings provide
citizens with multiple opportunities to engage in the planning process, offer feedback
on draft plans, and raise any concerns or questions they may have. This ensures that

EXPECTED RESOURCES

Introduction
Huntington Beach is an entitlement jurisdiction and as such, will receive $1,091,065 in CDBG
entitlement funds,will have approximately$308,167 in prior year CDBG funds carried forward,
and is estimated to receive around $33,00o in program income for a total of $1,432,332. The
City does not have any income from float-funded activities or surplus from urban renewal
settlements, sale of real property, prior period adjustments, loans outstanding or written off,
CDBG-acquired property available for sale, or lump sum drawdown payments. Nor is the City
funding any "urgent need activities." CDBG funds will be used for public services, housing
services in support of eligible HOME activities, a homeowner rehabilitation program, code
enforcement, infrastructure improvements, and CDBG administration.
The City will also receive a HOME entitlement allocation of$516,907.66.The City does not have
any unallocated prior-year funds to reprogram for activities in FY 2026/27 and does not
anticipate receiving any program income during the program year. However, the City does
have $179,482 in Community Housing Development Organization (CH DO) reserve funds that
will be carried over to FY 2026/27 for use on a future affordable housing project. This brings
the total HOME funding for FY 2026/27 to $696,389.66.
The City plans to use HOME allocation funds for program administration and three tenant-
based rental assistance programs and will reserve at least 15%for a future affordable housing
project. The City also proposes using prior years HOME administrative funds to support
current-year fair housing services.
SB-2, also known as the Permanent Local Housing Allocation funding, was implemented in
January 2019. It imposes an additional recording fee on property sales, with the aim of
collecting revenues that are then distributed by the state to local jurisdictions. These funds
are earmarked for financing affordable housing projects and homeless prevention activities.
Huntington Beach is set to receive annual revenues from this source, but it's contingent upon
the certification of the 2021-2029 Housing Element by the State of California. Once the
Housing Element is certified, Huntington Beach can continue to access these funds. This
funding serves as a crucial resource that can be utilized to complement CDBG and HOME
funds,particularly in addressing issues related to affordable housing and homelessness within
the community. Leveraging these various funding sources can significantly bolster efforts to
combat housing insecurity and homelessness in Huntington Beach.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 25
The Huntington Beach Housing Authority also contributes approximately $220,00o annually
from the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF) for homeless services
personnel as part of the City's Homeless Taskforce effort.
The City will pursue competitive public and private grants for the development and
preservation of programs, housing, and services and work to support legislation that
promotes funding for future affordable housing during the Consolidated Plan period.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Federal funds play a vital role in implementing the Consolidated Plan. Since local, private, and
non-federal resources are often insufficient to meet the community's demand for housing and
services, agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds rely on substantial financial and in-kind
support from individuals, foundations, and private organizations to address the needs
outlined in the plan.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 26
Additionally, the City leverages other resources from formula grant programs. For instance,
the HOME program is supported by a range of funding sources, including private and public
investments, as well as low-income housing tax credits. Other potential matching funds
include inclusionary housing in-lieu fees, residual receipts from former Redevelopment
Agency loans, and State SERAF loan repayments from former Redevelopment Low/Mod
Housing Funds.
Historically, the City has used former redevelopment tax increment funds and surplus
contributions from the Redevelopment Agency to meet the 25%match requirement for HOME
funds. Although redevelopment tax increment funds are no longer available for future
matches, the City continues to use the surplus for this purpose. As of September 2024, the
latest information available, the surplus stands at approximately $3,603,310.56, providing a
valuable resource for meeting match requirements and supporting affordable housing
development.
If appropriate,describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City Council approved the acquisition of property at 17631 Cameron Lane, which was
developed as an emergency homeless shelter to address the needs of the homeless
population. This aligns with the priority need identified in the previous 2o2o/21-2o24/25
Consolidated Plan and continues to be a priority in the 2025/26-2029/3o Consolidated Plan.

Introduction
The City plans to undertake the following CDBG and HOM E-funded activities during FY 2026/27
to address its priority housing and community development needs. All proposed activities are
eligible and meet program service targets.Additionally, the City of Huntington Beach has not
exceeded any of its maximum allocations for CDBG public services, CDBG administration, or
HOME administration.With an estimated CDBG allocation of$1,091,165,the City of Huntington
Beach will allocate $163,674 for public services, representing almost 15% of the CDBG
entitlement,the max allowable.This Action Plan proposes to allocate the following to 2026/27
public services: Pathways to Independence ($25,382); Project Hope Alliance ($23,382);
Robyne's Nest ($27,382); StandUp for Kids ($17,382); Senior Outreach Care Management
($22,382);All for Kids Organization(formerly Children's Bureau)($30,382);and Save the Brave
Offshore Fishing Program ($17,382). CDBG regulations also permit a maximum allocation of
20% of the annual entitlement, or $218,233, for CDBG administration activities. The City has
allocated this entire amount to CDBG Administration. Lastly, a maximum of 10% of the annual
HOME entitlement, $51,690.77, will be allocated to HOME Program Administration in FY
2026/27.
Consistent with the City's Citizen Participation Plan for 2025126-202913o, the Annual Action
Plan may contain a list of "back-up" projects to be activated during the given program year
due to one or more of the following circumstances:
• Additional funding becomes available during the program year from the close out of
current projects that were completed under budget.
• More program income becomes available than originally estimated and budgeted in
the Annual Action Plan.
• If, during the development of the Annual Action Plan, the City of Huntington Beach
has not definitively decided which public facility or infrastructure improvement
project to fund,the City may opt to categorize each option as a"back-up"project until
further project and budget planning is performed. Initiation and funding of one or
more of the "back-up" projects would not constitute a substantial amendment as
defined in the Citizen Participation Plan. Preferential consideration will be given to
those projects that demonstrate the ability to spend CDBG funds in a timely manner,
consistent with the City's goal to meet CDBG timeliness rules,as well as those projects
that meet the needs of the community as defined in the Consolidated Plan.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The highest priority is given to the needs of the lowest-income residents, recognizing their
increased vulnerability to displacement, homelessness, and other severe housing challenges
due to limited financial resources and various other hardships they may face.
The Consolidated Plan highlights several barriers to addressing underserved needs, including
the persistent high demand for public services and the insufficient funding available to meet
the community's needs, particularly in housing. This plan allocates resources specifically
aimed at overcoming these challenges.

AP-5o Geographic Distribution —91.22o(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement(including areas of low-income and
minority concentration)where assistance will be directed
Huntington Beach, located in northwestern Orange County, is an urbanized coastal
community characterized by extensive residential development. With most residentially
designated land already built out, future housing growth is expected to occur primarily
through infill development and the reuse of existing parcels. The City is bordered by Seal
Beach to the northwest,Westminster to the northeast, Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa to the
east, Newport Beach to the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME)
funds are allocated citywide to support eligible projects and programs, with a focus on
addressing the needs of the most vulnerable neighborhoods, particularly those in which at
least 51 percent of residents are low-to moderate-income.
To support targeted code enforcement efforts, the City conducted a visual survey of CDBG-
eligible areas to identify properties, businesses, parkways, alleys, and structures exhibiting
code violations. This assessment identified a concentrated area of deterioration generally
bounded by Bolsa Chica Street to the west, Bolsa Avenue to the north, Brookhurst Street to
the east, and Atlanta Avenue to the south. This area, designated as the "Special Code
Enforcement Target Area," includes several census tracts with a combined population of
approximately 67,625 residents, of whom 45,30o individuals—nearly 7o percent—are
classified as low-to moderate-income.

throughout the community, with a focus on youth, individuals experiencing homelessness,
and seniors.Approximately 90 percent of the City's FY 2026/27 federal funding is allocated to
activities that provide citywide benefits.
In addition, addressing blight remains a key priority through targeted investment in the
Special Code Enforcement Target Area. The Special Code Enforcement Program focuses on
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 51

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities-91.220(i)
Introduction
Homelessness remains a growing challenge nationwide, including in the Los Angeles County
and Orange County regions. Contributing factors include a shortage of affordable housing,
rising poverty, reductions in public assistance, substance use disorders, the
deinstitutionalization of individuals with mental illness, and other complex socioeconomic
conditions.
To better understand and respond to homelessness, Orange County conducts a biennial
enumeration of both sheltered and unsheltered individuals experiencing homelessness
during a 24-hour period. This effort, known as the Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, is
required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for all jurisdictions
receiving federal homeless assistance funding. HUD requires that the PIT Count occur during
the last ten days of January. The most recent count was conducted on January 26-27, 2026;
however,final data and the official report are not expected to be available until May 2026.
The 2024 PIT Count, conducted by the County of Orange in coordination with the Orange
County Continuum of Care, included a sheltered count on January 22, 2024, followed by an
unsheltered count from January 23 through January 25, 2024. The count identified 7,322
individuals experiencing homelessness countywide, representing a 28 percent increase from
the 2022 total of 5,718 individuals.
Within Huntington Beach, the 2024 PIT Count identified 433 individuals experiencing
homelessness, including i73 unsheltered and 260 sheltered persons. This reflects an increase
from 2022, when 33o individuals were counted, including 188 unsheltered and 142 sheltered
persons.
Addressing homelessness remains a top priority for the City. Huntington Beach has
established a comprehensive System of Care for individuals experiencing or at risk of
homelessness, with an emphasis on outreach, engagement, case management, and
connections to shelter, housing, and supportive services.The City's Homeless and Behavioral
Health Division is committed to a balanced approach that combines compassionate service
delivery with efforts to maintain overall community quality of life.
Describe the jurisdictions'one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 55
The City of Huntington Beach Homeless and Behavioral Health Division conducts proactive
outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness through a coordinated, multidisciplinary
approach that includes Outreach Social Workers, and Homeless Task Force Officers.
Outreach Social Workers play a critical role in engaging individuals, families, seniors, and
veterans who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. They assess barriers to housing
stability, including income limitations, lack of access to basic needs, behavioral health
challenges, and substance use disorders. Outreach staff provide assistance with obtaining
vital documents,facilitate shelter referrals, support family reunification efforts, and advocate
for clients through the Coordinated Entry System.
In addition, Outreach Social Workers collaborate with community groups, faith-based
organizations, and nonprofit partners to strengthen resource connections and referral
networks, while collecting data to inform and improve outreach strategies. They also work
closely with the City's Community Prosecutor to support client compliance with legal
obligations—such as stay-away orders, probation requirements, and the resolution of
outstanding warrants—recognizing that these factors can impact eligibility for housing
opportunities.
Complementing these efforts, the City's Homeless Task Force includes one lieutenant, one
sergeant, and four full-time officers who are specially trained to work with individuals
experiencing homelessness. Utilizing a trauma-informed approach that emphasizes
community engagement and public safety, these officers work closely with Outreach Social
Workers to provide coordinated, field-based support. Their responsibilities include
conducting outreach, facilitating reunification and relocation efforts, and helping individuals
reconnect with family members or access appropriate housing options. Through this
collaborative model, the Homeless Task Force plays a vital role in advancing the City's
comprehensive response to homelessness.
Further, in the ensuing years covered by the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans, the
City plans to support at least four homeless public service programs that provide outreach
and assessment of homeless individuals.The Pathways to Independence Program focuses on
young single women experiencing homelessness,while Project Hope Alliance, Robyne's Nest,
and StandUp for Kids Street Outreach focus on homeless youth and providing wrap around
services unique to young individuals such as mentoring, food, clothing, housing, academic
support, and educational aid.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Huntington Beach addresses the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs
of individuals experiencing homelessness through a combination of interim housing,
supportive services, and long-term housing solutions.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 56
The Huntington Beach Navigation Center serves as the City's primary emergency housing
facility, offering 164 beds for individuals (reduced from 174 beds in 2025), couples, and non-
binary residents, ensuring inclusive access to shelter. Operating at approximately 92 percent
capacity, the Navigation Center differs from traditional shelters by emphasizing
comprehensive, service-enriched support designed to help residents transition out of
homelessness. Eligibility is generally limited to individuals with established ties to Huntington
Beach, allowing the City to prioritize assistance for its local population.
The Navigation Center provides a wide range of supportive services, including transportation
assistance, housing navigation, access to homeless court programs, employment resources,
recreational programming, mobile medical services, and specialized services for veterans. In
addition,the Pathways Project enhances the Center's efforts by promoting long-term housing
stability through coordinated case management and service delivery. Together, these
resources position the Navigation Center as a critical hub for both emergency shelter and
pathways to permanent housing.
In FY 2021/22,the City launched the HB Oasis project in partnership with the State of California
Homekey Program,the County of Orange, National CORE, and American Family Housing.The
project involved acquisition and rehabilitation of the former Quality Inn&Suites motel located
at 17251 Beach Boulevard to provide interim housing for up to 62 individuals and households
within Orange County's Central Service Planning Area. HB Oasis offered transitional housing
alongside comprehensive property management and supportive services grounded in
trauma-informed, evidence-based practices, with a strong focus on case management and
connections to permanent housing.
In May 2024, HB Oasis transitioned from interim housing to permanent supportive housing.
This conversion included renovation of units to incorporate kitchenettes and the use of
project-based vouchers to promote long-term housing stability for residents.
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
The City of Huntington Beach is implementing a comprehensive approach to address
homelessness, with a focus on both immediate relief and long-term solutions. The strategy
involves securing both short-term and long-term funding, collaborating with experienced
service providers, and creating affordable housing opportunities.The City's key efforts aim to
support various populations, including chronically homeless individuals,families with children,
veterans, victims of domestic violence, and unaccompanied youth.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 57
A central initiative is the Navigation Center, which has received around $4.5 million in funding
from CDBG, CDBG-CV, and HOME-ARP grants since 2020. This center offers wraparound
services to help individuals transition from emergency shelter to more stable housing. The
City plans to repurpose the property into a permanent facility that will provide affordable
housing and supportive services for chronically homeless individuals.
Additionally,the City continues to prioritize tenant-based rental assistance(TBRA),with plans
to offer rental subsidies to 27 households in 2026/27. Families Forward is responsible for
providing rental assistance to households with children, while Mercy House focuses on
supporting those experiencing homelessness, victims of domestic violence, and veterans.
Another program is also in place to provide space rent relief for senior mobile homeowners
for up to 24 months.
By focusing on both immediate housing solutions and long-term support, Huntington Beach
is working to not only reduce homelessness but also prevent those recently housed from
falling back into homelessness.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless,especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health
facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions);
or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social
services,employment, education,or youth needs
To 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.
The City is also committed to supporting families through HOME-funded rental assistance
programs. In FY 2026/27, the City is proposing to support three rental assistance programs
that will assist a variety of vulnerable population groups in Huntington Beach. As mentioned
above, Families Forward assists families that are homeless or at risk of homelessness, while
Mercy House targets lower-income households, homeless persons, veterans, and victims of
domestic violence.The Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program targets senior
owners of mobile homes with space rents.
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.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 58
AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing—91.220(j)
Introduction
Huntington Beach has demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting affordable housing
through various measures, including updates to its zoning ordinance and direct financial
assistance to affordable housing projects. Despite funding constraints resulting from the loss
of Redevelopment Housing Funds, which previously generated approximately $3 million
annually for housing activities, the City remains dedicated to developing affordable housing.
However, one of the primary challenges faced by Huntington Beach in this regard is the
scarcity of vacant land suitable for residential development. Much of the underdeveloped
residentially zoned land is owned by separate owners, making lot consolidation and the
demolition of existing structures necessary to accommodate higher density infill
development.
To address this challenge, the City has adopted alternative policy tools, such as the Amended
Downtown and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plans.These plans provide opportunities
for high-density mixed-use and residential infill development, facilitating the creation of
affordable housing units within the community. Through continued collaboration and
innovative approaches, Huntington Beach aims to overcome barriers and enhance the
availability of affordable housing for its residents.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that
serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls,tax policies affecting
land,zoning ordinances,building codes,fees and charges,growth limitations, and policies
affecting the return on residential investment
Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs,every effort is made to remove
barriers to affordable housing through agreements with for-profit and non-profit 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:
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 59
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 Program and Housing Trust Fund: Continue implementation and re-evaluate
Ordinance to provide consistency with case law and market conditions. 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 the 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 i00% 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.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 60
AP-85 Other Actions—91.22o(k)
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City of Huntington Beach has identified long-range strategies, activities, and funding
sources to advance its housing and community development goals for the benefit of
residents. The City will continue to pursue additional resources to address one of the most
significant challenges to meeting underserved needs—limited and insufficient funding. It will
also explore innovative and creative approaches to strengthen its service delivery systems
while maintaining and expanding partnerships with both for-profit and nonprofit
organizations.
Through the strategic use of CDBG and HOME funds, the City will prioritize the development
and preservation of affordable rental housing, tenant-based rental assistance, and
homeowner rehabilitation programs. Federal funding is also being utilized to address key
housing needs, including housing availability, housing conditions, and the promotion of fair
housing practices to help prevent homelessness. In addition, the City will continue to invest
in community development activities such as infrastructure improvements, public facility
enhancements, and code enforcement efforts. Recognizing that many challenges extend
beyond local boundaries, the City is also collaborating with neighboring jurisdictions to
support a coordinated regional approach to addressing underserved needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan identifies both the preservation of existing
affordable housing and the development of new units as key priorities for the 2025/26-
2o29/3o planning period. To support transparency and public access to information, the City
will continue maintaining its online Affordable Housing Viewer, which allows residents to
easily locate affordable housing developments throughout the community.
The City will also continue supporting tenant-based rental assistance programs through a
combination of CDBG and HOME funding. In FY 2026/27, approximately $210,00o in CDBG
funds and $411,032.77 in HOME funds are proposed to assist 27 households.Assistance will be
available to income-eligible renters, including seniors residing in mobile home parks who are
facing rising space rents.
In addition, the City will maintain its residential rehabilitation programs to preserve the
existing housing stock and improve living conditions for lower-income homeowners. One
program provides grants of up to $20,00o for emergency repairs and health and safety
improvements,while a second program offers low-interest loans—up to $75,00o at 3 percent
interest—for both single-family and multifamily property improvements. Through these
combined efforts, the City anticipates assisting 18 lower-income households in FY 2026-2027.
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 61
To further support affordable housing initiatives, the City is pursuing funding through the SB
2 Planning Grant Program administered by the California Department of Housing and
Community Development. Upon certification of the 2021-2029 Housing Element,the City may
receive approximately $550,00o annually. These funds would help advance efforts to
streamline affordable housing development and leverage existing CDBG and HOME resources
to address both housing affordability and homelessness.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As a means of better protecting children and families against lead poisoning, in 1999 HUD
instituted revised lead-based paint regulations focused around the following five activities:
• Notification
• Lead Hazard Evaluation
• Lead Hazard Reduction
• Ongoing Maintenance
• Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level
The City has implemented HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires
federally funded rehabilitation projects to address lead hazards. Lead-based paint abatement
is part of the City's Residential Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of
Affordable Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for
rehabilitation are tested if not statutorily exempt. Elimination or encapsulation remedies are
implemented if lead is detected and is paid for by either the developer of the project, or with
CDBG or HOME funds, as appropriate.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
Huntington Beach has a strategy to help reduce poverty among local families and individuals.
These programs work together to address both the immediate housing needs of low-income
residents and the long-term economic self-sufficiency of vulnerable populations. Examples of
the poverty reduction efforts include:
• Housing Choice Rental Assistance Program: Over 66o low and extremely low-income
households in Huntington Beach participate in the Housing Choice Rental Assistance
Voucher Program, which is administered by the Orange County Housing Authority
(OCHA). This program directly supports poverty reduction by helping these
households access affordable rental housing,thus easing financial strain and enabling
them to allocate resources toward other basic needs, such as food, healthcare, and
education.
• Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Programs: The City plans to utilize HOME
funds to support three tenant-based rental assistance programs. These programs will
provide direct rental subsidies to eligible low-income households, helping reduce the
HUNTINGTON BEACH 2026/27 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 62
financial burden of housing costs and offering families a better chance at achieving
long-term stability and upward mobility. The City's goal is to provide a total of 27
households with TBRA in FY 2026/27.
• Pathways to Independence Program: With CDBG funding, the City will support the
Pathways to Independence program,which serves single women who are homeless or
unstably housed. This program helps participants achieve economic self-sufficiency
through education and personal development, providing a critical link between stable
housing and the long-term reduction of poverty. By equipping individuals with the
skills and support they need to succeed,the program contributes to breaking the cycle
of homelessness and poverty. Pathways to Independence plans to enroll 4o women
into their program in FY 2026/27.
• Affordable Housing Development: During the five-year period of the Consolidated
Plan, the City will work to utilize HOME funds to gap finance an affordable housing
project at a yet-to-be-determined location. The development of new affordable
housing will directly address the need for affordable living spaces for low-income
families and individuals, providing them with stable housing opportunities that can
help reduce economic vulnerability and improve quality of life.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City proposes to strengthen, coordinate and integrate the governmental institutions,
non-profit and private delivery systems to implement the City's five-year strategy and to
address the priority needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2025126—2029/30.
Engaging the community and stakeholders in the delivery of services and programs for the
benefit of low to moderate residents will be vital in overcoming gaps in service delivery. The
City will also utilize 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 planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
In an ongoing effort to bridge the gap of various programs and activities, the City has
developed partnerships and collaborations with local service providers and City departments
that have been instrumental in meeting the needs and demands of the homeless, low-income
individuals and families, and other special needs. The array of partners include, but are not
limited to: the Huntington Beach Police Department, Library Services, Community Services,
and Public Works Departments; Mercy House, Families Forward, Colette's Children's Home,
AMCAL, Orange County Community Housing Corporation,Jamboree Housing, National CORE,
Community SeniorServ, Project Self Sufficiency, Alzheimer's Family Services, StandUp for
