1. Introduction
The City of Anaheim’s Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan serves as the City’s plan which identifies the proposed programs and projects the City will undertake to address its priority needs and objectives using federal entitlement grant funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as outlined in the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. These federal funds include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids (HOPWA).
The allocation amounts include $4,251,477 of CDBG funds, $368,201 of ESG funds, and $1,672,684 of HOME funds, and $3,257,373 in HOPWA funds as well as prior year CDBG and HOME resources. In total, this Draft Action Plan allocates $9,549,735 to projects and activities.
1. CDBG Program - $4,251,477: The primary objective of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is the development of viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities primarily focused on low- and moderate-income person and neighborhoods.
2. HOME Program - $1,672,684: The primary objective of the Home Investments Partnership Program (HOME) program is to create safe, decent, affordable living environments for low and moderate-income persons. HOME funds can be used to finance wide variety of affordable housing activities like acquisition, rehabilitation, or construction of rental housing, assistance to home buyers, rehab of owner-occupied housing or tenant based rental assistance.
3. ESG Program - $368,201: The primary objective of the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program is to provide a variety of activities to address homelessness as authorized under the federal Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009 and State program requirements.

4. HOPWA Program - $3,257,373: The primary objective of the Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids (HOPWA) Program is to help address housing needs of low-income people living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has established three predetermined objectives and outcomes designed to capture the range of community impacts that occur as a result of CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA-funded programs. Each activity or program that is funded with these four federal funding sources that the City of Anaheim receives, 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. The following are the objectives and outcomes:
OBJECTIVES:
• Creating Suitable Living Environments relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment, from physical problems with their environment to social issues. • Providing Decent Housing covers the wide range of housing activities where the purpose is to meet individual family or community housing needs.
• Creating Economic Opportunities applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation.
OUTCOMES:
• Availability/Accessibility applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities, housing or shelter available or accessible to low- and moderate-income people, including persons with disabilities.
• Affordability applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low- and moderate-income people and is appropriate to use whenever an activity is lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a low- income household.
• Sustainability applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low- and moderate- Annual Action Plan

income or by removing/eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods.
Consistent with HUD’s national objectives, in the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City identified seven high priority needs to be addressed through the implementation of CDBG, ESG, and HOME funded programs. Anaheim’s top seven priorities for federally funded HUD projects include:
• Increase Housing Opportunities - Increase and preserve affordable rental and homeowner housing.
• Provide Housing for Persons with Special Needs - Provide safe, affordable housing opportunities for persons with special needs including accessibility. • Homeless Prevention - Provide appropriate housing solutions to those at risk of homelessness. • Increase access to public services –Improve and expand public facilities in low-income neighborhoods.
• Enhance Public Facilities and Infrastructure - Support the development of infrastructure and improvement of public facilities in the City’s low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. • Increase Availability of Suitable Housing - Improve access to affordable and stable housing. • Fair Housing - Provide Fair Housing programs
3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.
The City of Anaheim prides itself on its high standards of excellence and the successful accomplishment of goals. The City recognizes that the evaluation of past performance is critical to ensuring that the City and its sub-recipients are implementing funded activities efficiently and continues to monitor and evaluate the performance of its HUD entitlement programs while ensuring regulatory compliance.
The prior investment of HUD resources during the prior Consolidated Plan period from 2015-2019 resulted in measurable accomplishments that contributed to positive outcomes for Anaheim residents.
HUD resources were used to:
• Expand the supply of affordable rental housing units; • Preserve and improve the existing housing stock through rehabilitation of single-family housing units;
• Provide fair housing services;

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan.
As a condition of receiving CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA funds, the City of Anaheim must engage stakeholders and the public regarding the community’s needs in the areas of community development and housing. To guide this effort, the City has adopted a Citizen Participation Plan which outlines the citizen participation and consultation efforts necessary for the development of the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
All of Anaheim’s citizens are encouraged to participate in the planning, development, and implementation of the Annual Action Plan. Two public hearings are held by the City each year to discuss issues related to the Consolidated Plan, as well as the Annual Action Plan. The first hearing focuses on the needs of the community and development of the Annual Action Plan, as well as providing citizens with an opportunity to comment on the Annual Action Plan. The second public hearing held during the development of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) focuses on performance, as it relates to housing, homelessness, accessibility, and community development needs, such as infrastructure and public services. Each year as part of this process, Notices of Public Hearing are published at least 15 days prior to the hearing to provide residents with adequate notice.

Funding these priorities supports HUD’s principal goals and objectives. These goals are meant to provide availability, sustainability, and affordability for low- and moderate-income residents of the City of Anaheim. The FY 2022-23 Annual Action Plan outlines the City’s priorities, objectives and strategies for the investment of CDBG, ESG, HOME and HOPWA funds to address these needs over the fiscal year period of July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023

1. Introduction
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(l))
The City of Anaheim developed its five-year (2020/2021 - 2024/2025) Consolidated Plan through consultation with City departments; social and health service providers; the Anaheim Housing Authority; and adjacent local governments. As a means of gaining input from housing, homeless and social service providers, the City conducted a consultation workshop. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss what each of these agencies define as the key housing and social service issues in Anaheim, to identify gaps in service, and to brainstorm potential recommendations. Another function of the workshop was to establish a dialogue among agencies/departments to enhance collaboration and sharing of information.
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 Anaheim is an active participant in the Orange County Continuum of Care, led and coordinated by 2-1-1 Orange County and OC Community Services. This public/non-profit partnership helps ensure comprehensive, regional coordination of efforts and resources to reduce the number of homeless and persons at risk of homelessness throughout Orange County. This group serves as the regional convenor of the year-round CoC planning process and as a catalyst for the involvement of the public and private agencies that make-up the regional homeless system of care.
The Orange County Continuum of Care system consists of six basic components:
1. Advocacy on behalf of those who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless.
2. A system of outreach, assessment, and prevention for determining the needs and conditions of an individual or family who is homeless.
3. Emergency shelters with appropriate supportive services to help ensure that homeless individuals and families receive adequate emergency shelter and referrals.
4. Transitional housing to help homeless individuals and families who are not prepared to make the transition to permanent housing and independent living.
5. Permanent housing, or permanent supportive housing, to help meet the long-term needs of homeless individuals and families.
6. Reducing chronic homelessness in Orange County and addressing the needs of homeless families and individuals using motels to meet their housing needs.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City of Anaheim participates in the Orange County ESG Collaborative, which includes Anaheim, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, and the County of Orange. The Collaborative works very closely with the Continuum of Care. To ensure funds are leveraged to create maximum impact, the Orange County ESG Collaborative has developed aligned values and priorities and makes ESG funding decisions.
The County of Orange CoC has appointed the City to the CoC Board to represent local ESG grantees. The purpose of this appointment is to prevent duplicate efforts by local ESG grantees. This ensures ESG allocations are addressing homeless related needs at a regional and local level. The City provides feedback to the CoC to develop eligibility criteria, performance standards and overall continuum policies and procedures.

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Federal funds play a crucial role in implementing Anaheim’s Annual Action Plan. Local, private, and non-federal funds are usually insufficient to meet the heavy demand for housing and services in the community. The City of Anaheim leverages other resources among the formula grant programs. For example, the HOME program requires a 25% match for each HOME dollar spend and allows excess match considered for future years. The City allocates the “set-aside” funds from the former redevelopment agency and considers the State tax credit awards to meet the HOME match requirement for affordable housing development projects. Since the City has excess match funds ($42,427,467), the City applies this match excess to all its HOME funded projects. The City requests the ESG subrecipients to provide dollar-to-dollar match funds for ESG funded projects. The funding sources for the ESG match requirement range from local funds (e.g., City of Anaheim General Fund and Orange Annual Action Plan
2022
23 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
County Children and Families Commission) to state funds (e.g., Cal OES Emergency Housing) to private funds (e.g., Rescare Inc.).
The City requires its ESG subrecipients to provide a dollar-to-dollar match for all ESG funded activities. Subrecipients typically use a combination of cash and non-cash resources to meet the match requirement. This year the subrecipients will provide a $264,596 match.

Discussion
Non-Entitlement Resources
Low-Mod Income Housing Asset Fund: Currently discussing Low-Mod Income Housing Asset Fund.
Homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) Program of the Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act (HEARTH): In 2018, the Orange County CoC received $23 million for homeless programs through CoC funding considerations and expects this to continue in FY 2022.
Housing Choice Voucher Section 8 Program: The Anaheim Housing Authority (AHA) administers the Section 8 program within the City of Anaheim and will provide subsidies to approximately 6,752 households. The Anaheim Housing Authority anticipates $90,261,223 million in funding from HUD to pay for Housing Assistance Payments for its rental assistance programs within the City in FY 2022.
HUD-VASH: VASH is a collaborative program between HUD and the Veterans Affairs that combines HUD housing vouchers with VA supportive services to help Veterans who are homeless, and their families find and sustain permanent housing. Throughout Fiscal Year 2022/23, the Anaheim Housing Authority (AHA) will continue to administer the 94 federal housing vouchers that it received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program for their efforts to house homeless veterans in the City of Anaheim. VA case managers may connect these Veterans with support services such as health care, mental health treatment and substance use counseling to help them in their recovery process and with their ability to maintain housing in the community. Among VA homeless continuum of care programs, HUD-VASH enrolls the largest number and largest percentage of Veterans who have experienced long-term or repeated homelessness. At the end of FY 2021, 106,704 subsidized housing vouchers were allocated to HUD-VASH with nearly 80,000 formerly homeless Veterans living in their own permanent housing as a result of the partnership between HUD and VA.
Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC): The federal 4% and 9% LIHTC is the principal source of funding Annual Action Plan
2022
25 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
for the construction and rehabilitation of affordable rental homes. They are a dollar-for-dollar credit against federal tax liability. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program is the one of the most important resources for creating large-scale affordable housing in the United States today. Created by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the LIHTC program gives State and local LIHTC-allocating agencies the equivalent of approximately $8 billion in annual budget authority to issue tax credits for the acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of rental housing targeted to lower-income households. An average of almost 1,400 projects and 106,400 units were placed in service annually between 1995 to 2018.

Table 7 - Project Information
Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan discusses housing need by income category. Income levels identified are: 1) extremely low-income; 2) very low-income; and 3) low- and moderate-income households. Based on HUD’s recommendations, general relative priorities for funding will be as follows:
HIGH PRIORITY: Activities to address this need will be funded during the five-year period.
MEDIUM PRIORITY: If funds are available, activities to address this need may be funded by the City during the five-year period. The City may also use other sources of funds and take actions to locate other sources of funds.
LOW PRIORITY: It is not likely the City will fund activities to address this need during the five-year period.
The highest priority has been assigned to the needs of Anaheim’s lowest income residents, based on the assumption that in this high-cost real estate market, they are at greater risk of displacement, homelessness, or other serious housing situations due to limited financial resources and other challenges they may face.
The Anaheim Consolidated Plan identifies several obstacles in meeting underserved needs, including the high and sustained demands for public services, as well as the shortage of funding to address the community’s needs.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The City allocates CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds to projects that benefit either low-income neighborhoods or extremely low to low-income households. The City allocates HOPWA funds to countywide projects that serve low-income persons with HIV/AIDS. Those census tracts where 51% or more of the residents are low- or moderate-income income are where most of the CDBG-funded infrastructure and facility projects occur, as they are targeted to the neighborhoods with the most need.
Based on Census Bureau ethnicity/race estimates, Anaheim is approximately 54.3% Hispanic or Latino.
This population resides throughout the City but with concentrations highest in the central city. The second largest minority population in Anaheim is Asian, which comprise approximately 16.6% of the City’s population. Asian households are mainly concentrated in the City’s west side and east side areas.

Introduction
The Housing Needs Assessment in the FY 2020/21 – 2024/25 Anaheim Consolidated Plan has identified a number of key housing programs in the City of Anaheim:
The lack of affordable rental housing in Anaheim has created the largest need for affordable rental housing for Anaheim’s low- and moderate-income households, in general, and for large families, elderly and homeless populations, in particular. The City has continued its efforts to expand its affordable housing through new development, tenant based rental assistance and rehabilitation of existing units.
Through these various activities we focus our efforts on the most vulnerable populations such as the homeless, special needs and low-income households.

The Anaheim Housing Authority administers federally funded programs and grants allocated by the HUD in the City of Anaheim. The HCV offers two housing options: tenant-based and project-based. The tenant-based program allows assisted households to use a rental assistance voucher in open rental market units. The project-based program ties a voucher to a specific unit in which an assistant household can move into.
The City consulted Anaheim Housing Authority during the preparation of the 2022/23 Action Plan. The Housing Authority will continue to provide safe, decent, and sanitary affordable housing to its HCV clients.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City has been actively engaged in developing local efforts to help address and overcome the public health crisis, including the opening of temporary and permanent emergency shelters, the creation of partnerships with non-profits and faith-based organizations in Anaheim, and the establishment of homeless outreach services.
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
Community Care Response Team (CCRT)
As part of the City’s on-going efforts to address homelessness, and in light of the on-going national conversation regarding the role of Police Departments in responding to mental health related calls for service, the Police Department and Code Enforcement Division researched and evaluated best practices and innovative service delivery options for the nearly 20,000 yearly calls for service received by the Police Department relating to homelessness. Based on this research, staff created the Community Care Response Team (CCRT) Pilot Program in partnership with City Net, the City’s current homeless outreach service provider. The CCRT Pilot Program has expanded City Net’s current homeless outreach services, including the types of services provided and the hours of service delivery. The CCRT consists of outreach workers, mental health clinicians, nurse practitioners and plain-clothes security officers. Outreach workers provide outreach and service coordination for homeless individuals, including assistance with shelter access, medical needs, social service programs, etc. The mental health clinician evaluate and respond to the mental health needs of homeless individuals, with access to County of Orange mental health services and the ability to place a mental health hold on individuals, if needed.
Mind OC (Be Well OC)
The city recognizes opportunities to partner with mental health experts who are more specifically trained to navigate unique service needs related to mental health and substance abuse and that a partnership may result in better outcomes for all. A pilot program in partnership with Mind OC (Be Well OC) was funded by the City’s CDBG CARES Act funding. Be Well OC works with local hospitals, medical clinics, homeless service providers, and other community stakeholders to quickly activate successful

outcomes driven by a Mobile Crisis Response Team.
Other homeless efforts:
The Be Well OC mobile response team implements a model that delivers the following:
• Specialized professional staff to respond to community needs involving mental illness, substance use, homelessness, and/or related health challenges. While people in need may at times be struggling with homelessness, the team will service all residents and, when appropriate, partner with the CCRT.
• The service team functions as an essential support to the Anaheim Police Department, relieving officers of the often time-intensive mental health and social service-related calls.
• Specialized response vehicle and transportation for individuals in need to appropriate care facilities, such as shelters, mental health crisis units, health clinics, hospitals, etc.
• Determination of appropriate action plans specific to individual client needs, family and patient follow up care, as well as case management when indicated.
• Development of a data dashboard in collaboration with the city to ensure transparency and continuous quality improvement.
Beginning in March 2022, the City of Anaheim engaged in a planning process to draft a Homelessness Action Plan to address and reduce homelessness. As part of the planning process, the city engaged with people with lived experience of homelessness to gather input on what works well in getting households to housing and where there are areas of improvement within the local system of care. The engagements included two focus groups, one at a city-funded emergency shelter and one at a permanent supportive housing site that was recently brought online. Additionally, staff created and blasted an electronic survey to the community at large, with one question in the survey targeted specifically for people with lived expertise asking about their experience navigating services and what would be helpful in their meeting their goals.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Since 2018, the City of Anaheim has placed unprecedented efforts into bringing online shelter beds to serve the community. Particular emphasis has been placed on making available beds to serve individual households, as they make up the vast majority of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in the city. The City is constantly evaluating our emergency shelter operations and are right-sizing our inventory to meet the needs of the community. Such right sizing efforts include closing operations of
Annual Action Plan
2022
60 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
one underutilized emergency shelter in favor of building out a new, more centralized shelter. The new shelter, called Center of Hope, will operate as a mixed intervention and services site offering emergency shelter, rehabilitative care, medical care, and permanent supportive housing all on the same campus.
Through evaluation of existing inventory, the city is placing renewed priority on serving transition-aged youth (TAY) and families as these subpopulations have seen a steady rise in unsheltered homelessness throughout the years. The City current funds Covenant House, a TAY-specific shelter, and has plans to infuse addition dollars into the shelter to expand serves for young people. There are also plans to address emergency services for families living unsheltered as part of the City’s Homelessness Action Plan.
The City of Anaheim does not fund or run transitional housing programs.
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
Housing first provides the foundation to all City-funded homelessness programs. To help move households in shelters quickly to housing, the City is working to improve case management and housing navigation in all city-funded shelters. This includes getting households document ready while also connecting participants to available mainstream resources and services offered by partner systems of care to provide more stable transitions to independent living.
The City funds two rapid rehousing programs to provide additional housing opportunities to households on the local Coordinated Entry list. The Chronically Homeless Individual Pilot Program (CHIPP) and Homeless Assistance Pilot Program (HAPP) provide up to two years of rental assistance to chronic individual and family households experiencing homelessness who are able locate market rate housing in the existing market. The rental assistance is accompanied by case management to ensure program participants are stably housed once the rental assistance period ends. For households that are at risk of falling back into homelessness, the City has taken steps to begin identifying at risk households and exploring connections to deeper subsidies to avoid a return to homelessness. Given the need in the community, the City has expanded funding to both programs to serve additional households.
Additionally, the City funds the Senior Safety Net Program, which offers rental assistance for up to one year for seniors at risk or experiencing literal homelessness.
The City of Anaheim’s Housing and Community Development Department houses the Anaheim Housing Authority, Affordable Housing, and Homeless Initiative and Grants Divisions. All entities work closely together to ensure households experiencing homelessness are moved into available affordable units and are provided subsidies when possible to ensure long term housing. The Department also advocates for
Annual Action Plan
2022
61 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
the inclusion of homeless set aside units, whenever feasible, within affordable housing projects to establish a pipeline of housing opportunities for homeless households. A recent example of such are the Finamore Place Apartments, a new workforce housing development which includes 20 set aside units for households coming off the Coordinated Entry list.
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.
Mindful of the importance of stymying the number of households falling into homelessness, the City has instituted prevention programs to help assist households with staying in their units or finding alternative housing before they experience literal homelessness. Programs offered locally include the Senior Safety Net Program which offers emergency and rental assistance to seniors. The program assists with counseling, case management, lease up costs, rental arrears, and rental payments. As part of program guidelines, emphasis is placed on prioritizing seniors at the very low and low income levels. The City has also opened its HAPP program to families at risk of homelessness to ensure minor children at risk of homelessness are supported in staying in their homes and within their school districts. The City works closely with a local service provider to assist family households with housing navigation services, case management, and rental assistance payments. At present, the HAPP program has assisted 46 households with placement into housing throughout the community.
Through the City’s Workforce Development Division, the City has access to an array of supportive services that improve the quality of life of people residing in Anaheim. This includes access to workforce programs present in correctional institutions. In partnership with our workforce team, the City has begun to identify opportunities to address challenges with institutional discharges to homelessness from the criminal justice system. The Workforce Development Division sits within the City’s Housing and Community Development Department which also houses the Anaheim Housing Authority and Affordable Housing Division. The Anaheim Housing Authority also frequently works with homelessness response programs within the city to coordinate housing connections for people experiencing homelessness. As part of a network of funding to develop affordable housing and programming, the AHA works closely with the Orange County Health Care Agency to leverage MHSA dollars to provide supportive services to people experiencing homelessness with a severe mental illness. These supportive services increase the chances of finding suitable housing for individuals that are exiting public health institutions but have little options in finding a unit to remain stably housed. By centralizing services under one Department, the City is able to effectively coordinate services to get households, such as those existing institutions, to housing while ensuring they are wrapped in the supportive services

needed to remain housed.
Additionally, the City participates in monthly McKinney Vento meetings with school liaisons to better understand the needs of low income families at risk of homelessness. Through coordination, the City remains responsive to needs and refers liaisons to the network of available resources to avert homelessness for a household.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The City of Anaheim has a strong history of supporting affordable housing. The City has adopted provisions in its Zoning Ordinance that facilitates a range of residential development types and encourages affordable housing. The Community Development Department offers several types of incentives for the production, preservation, and rehabilitation of affordable housing for low-income families: Density Bonus Ordinance, Senior Citizen’s Ordinance, Gap Financing for the Development of Affordable Housing as funds become available and prioritization of City resources as they become available. Specific development incentive programs include:
• Density Bonus Ordinance – Provides incentives for the development of affordable for-sale and rental housing.
• Senior Citizens’ Ordinance – Provides incentives for the development of affordable senior housing.
• Gap Financing - Provides loans for the creation, preservation, and rehabilitation of rental housing for low-income families at rates below those charged by commercial lending institutions. Gap Loans are expected to be leveraged with other resources that may include private equity, loans from lending institutions, and/or funds from Federal, State, or local programs such as Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and Tax-Exempt Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds.
• Other Incentives for Affordable Housing – Expedited entitlements, Impact Fee deferrals and Solar/Photo-Voltaic and Energy Efficiency Rebates.
The City and its former redevelopment agency were successful in funding and constructing numerous affordable and mixed-income properties. The loss of redevelopment housing funds could be considered the most significant impact to low- and moderate-income housing project completion.
In addition to funding constraints, the primary barrier to the provision of affordable housing in the City of Anaheim is the lack of vacant land suitable for residential development. Separate owners of smaller parcels hold much of the underdeveloped and residentially zoned land in Anaheim. This may call for alternative policy tools such as lot consolidation and/or demolition of existing older structures to accommodate higher density infill development.
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
To address the decline in sources of affordable housing funds, the City of Anaheim will continue to
Annual Action Plan
2022
65 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
advocate and pursue federal, state, local and private funding sources for affordable housing.
The City has taken the following actions to increase the supply of land available for the future development of affordable housing and help to reduce barriers to affordable housing:
• Certified a Final Environmental Impact Report for a General Plan Amendment • Approved a General Plan Amendment to expand housing opportunities. • Approved the conversion of 743 acres of underutilized and/or underperforming commercial land primarily along major arterials to residential land use. • Initiated the Beach Boulevard Specific Plan which includes changes in land use and flexible development standards to facilitate and incentivize the development of affordable housing. • Approved a Zoning Code Amendment to provide more flexible development standards for multiple family development.
• Adopted a new Multiple Family Affordable Housing Developments ordinance to encourage the development of affordable housing for very low-income families, which was later merged with the City’s Density Bonus Ordinance to allow for the creation of deeper incentives such as less stringent landscaping, setbacks, building separation and building heights for developers who construct new affordable rental and homeownership housing projects. • The Community Development Department continues to work with the Planning Department to refine the Ordinance to seek greater incentives for the development of affordable housing.
In August 2018, the Council also adopted an Affordable Housing recommendation aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing in the City of Anaheim, along with an Affordable Housing Action Plan, which includes an action item that recommends that staff analyze and propose amendments to the Zoning Code to allow the development of creative housing solutions for all income levels.
In response to these Council policies, in May of 2019, staff recommended Zoning Code amendments to facilitate the conversion of existing motels and other commercial and office structures to housing within the "C-G" General Commercial Zone. The conversion of these structures would only be allowed if they provide to Multiple-Family, Transitional and Supportive Housing for lower income individuals and would be subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and certain development and performance standards. Conversions may only be proposed in the General Commercial Zone, which does not include any properties governed by a specific plan.
The conversion of motels into apartments offers both a unique affordable housing and economic development opportunity to address often dilapidated, boarded-up buildings on major thoroughfares.
Often located on prime commercial property or near tourist attractions, converting these motels into

Renter Cost Burden: Housing overpayment is the most prevalent housing problem in Anaheim. Renters are more likely to experience cost burdens than owner households, at a rate of 58% for all renter households in Anaheim. Elderly non-family households experience the highest rate of cost burdens overall, for renter households, at 70%. Lower income large family and small family renter households experience cost burdens at the highest rate. Small families experience cost burdens at a rate of 91%.
Large families experience cost burdens at a rate of 98%.
Household Overcrowding: Overcrowding is defined as having from 1.1 to 1.5 people per room per residence, with severe overcrowding defined as having more than 1.5 people per room. In 2017, an estimated 10.7% of households were overcrowded, and an additional 4.8 percent were severely overcrowded. Overcrowding increases health and safety concerns and stresses the condition of the housing stock and infrastructure. Overcrowding is strongly related to household size and the availability of suitable housing.
Incomplete Kitchen and/or Plumbing: Incomplete plumbing and kitchen facilities are another indicator of potential housing problems. According to the Census Bureau, a housing unit is classified as lacking complete plumbing facilities when any of the following are not present: piped hot and cold water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or shower. Likewise, a unit is categorized as deficient when any of the following are missing from the kitchen: a sink with piped hot and cold water, a range or cook top and oven, and a refrigerator.
There was a total of 338 households with incomplete plumbing facilities in 2017, representing 0.3 percent of households in City of Anaheim. There were 1,704 households lacking complete kitchen facilities in 2017. Private, indoor plumbing is essential for accessing water and sanitation. Without these, people are more likely to spend more time and money acquiring safe and reliable water, skipping necessities like washing one’s hands, and resorting to outdoor defecation.
Annual Action Plan
2022
67 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
The City of Anaheim has identified long-range strategies, activities, and funding sources to implement the goals in the areas of housing and community development services for the benefit of its residents.
The City continues to invest federal funds in projects and programs that address the priority needs of the community. In an effort to direct critical HUD resources to the needs of the community, the City of Anaheim continues to work towards achieving the goals identified in the Consolidated Plan. The City has a Homeless Policy Working group to address the longstanding homeless related issues in the City and regionally.
The City continues to utilize State funds to operate a 224-emergency bed homeless shelter that is operated by the Salvation Army Orange County. The City is currently in the second phase to expand the site, which will create a 100-bed transitional housing and comprehensive care facility known as the Center of Hope. Furthermore, the City uses other funding sources (successor agency redevelopment funds) to finance affordable housing projects.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City collaborates with various social services, housing, and economic development service providers. The City allocates 15% annually in CDBG funds to provide services to the City's most vulnerable population. Through the various programs provided, residents are assisted with identifying housing and supportive service needs. The City continues to operate the Senior Safety Net Program to help underserved Seniors within the Anaheim community. The Senior Safety Net Program provides housing assistance to one of the most vulnerable populations.
No identified gaps in the housing and community development programs and services exist. However, the level of demand for these programs exceeds the amount of funding available and these results in establishing a waiting list for many housing and community development programs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City’s Consolidated Plan has identified the preservation of existing, and the creation of new, affordable housing construction and rehabilitation as a priority need during the 2020/2021 – 2024/25 timeframe. The City will continue funding the residential rehabilitation program, the TBRA program, and affordable housing development projects in the effort to preserve and create affordable housing.
The City of Anaheim continues to operate the Residential Rehabilitation Program to improve the quality of life for low income-eligible households with property repairs and improvements necessary to make their homes decent, safe, and attractive; to preserve the City's maintaining existing housing quality and affordability; to arrest and prevent the development of blighted areas; identify and arrest the decline of

2022
68 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
deteriorating/deteriorated areas. The Program is a Citywide program eligible to low-income homeowners and is designed to assist income qualified applicants who shall receive assistance in the following order 1) CDBG Target Areas; a) Emergency b) Health, Safety, & Accessibility c) Home Improvement; 2) Citywide; a) Emergency b) Health, Safety, & Accessibility c) Home Improvement; subsequent to the submittal of a complete application inclusive of all required documentation.
The Program, administered by Habitat for Humanity, provides single family homeowners at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) with forgivable loans up to $15,000 for minor repairs at a zero percent interest rate with repayment not required unless one of the following actions occurs in the first 10 years after receipt of the grant; property sale, transfer of title, no owner occupancy, or cash-out refinancing. The other loan available to single family homeowners is up to $100,000 for major repairs repayable on year 30 with a 3% simple interest rate. The newest addition to the program is a forgivable loan for mobile home owners of up to $8,000 for minor repairs at a zero percent interest rate with repayment not required unless one of the following actions occurs in the first 10 years after receipt of the grant; property sale, transfer of title, no owner occupancy, or cash-out refinancing. The City’s goal for the 2022/23 program year is to help 5 additional households.
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: 1) Notification; 2) Lead Hazard Evaluation; 3) Lead Hazard Reduction; 4) Ongoing Maintenance; and 5) Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level.
The City and Anaheim Housing Authority work together to ensure that the rehabilitation of existing housing units comply with HUD lead-based paint regulations. Additionally, Habitat for Humanity inspects and tests for lead-based paints for homes older than 1978 under the residential rehabilitation program. Finally, the City works with the County of Orange Public Health Department to handle any reported lead-based paint cases in Anaheim. The City has a list of environmental consultants on-call to assist with lead-based paint testing and remediation services as needed. To reduce lead-based paint hazards in existing housing, all rehabilitation projects supported with federal funds are tested for lead and asbestos.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families According to the American Community Survey, as referenced in the City’s Consolidated Plan, in 2017, there were an estimated 55,134 people (16.0 percent) living in poverty, compared to 14.1 percent living in poverty in 2000. In 2017, some 10.5 percent of those in poverty were under age 6 and 8.4 percent
Annual Action Plan
2022
69 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
were 65 or older.
Of greatest concern is an increase in the number of individuals and families becoming homeless or at risk of becoming homeless due to the rising costs of housing, and other necessities like the safety-net expenditures of insurance and health care. Poverty levels are expected to be exacerbated with the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic that began in March 2020.
The City continues to provide funding to programs and services leading to homeless prevention. This includes allocating funds to nonprofits to offer financial assistance to individuals and families at risk of homelessness. It assists those facing a one-time extenuating circumstance of financial hardship, provides interim rental assistance and other housing-related costs to families at risk of homelessness, and provides Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers to homeless individuals and families.
In December 2020, the City, by substantial amendment, allocated $1,000,000 to the Anaheim Boulevard Public Facility Project located on 718A, 718B, and 722 Anaheim Boulevard. The improved neighborhood facility will provide economic development, workforce development, and employment training programs for Anaheim’s youth, young adults, and displaced workers. The improved neighborhood facility will provide space needed to help residents develop practical skills that will lead to future employment and promote entrepreneurial thinking.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City organization include several divisions that develop and implement affordable housing programs and support services. These divisions are Anaheim Housing Authority, Community and Economic Development, including Development Services and Property Services, and Workforce Development (Workforce Center, Workforce Administration, and Anaheim Workforce Investment Board).
The Department works closely with the Community Services Department Neighborhood Services Division to conduct an active citizen participation process with neighborhood organizations. The Department also participates in the Neighborhood Improvement Program in collaboration with other City Departments including Police, Community Services, City Attorney, Planning, Public Works, and Public Utilities, to address factors that contribute to the deterioration of neighborhoods.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
In the ongoing effort to bridge the gap of various programs and activities, the City has developed partnerships with local service providers and collaborations with City departments that have been
Annual Action Plan
2022
70 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
instrumental in meeting the needs and demands of the homeless, low-income individuals and families and special needs groups. Public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and other service agencies all play an integral role in the provision of affordable housing and support services.
The City will continue to work with these partners to meet its proposed housing and community development goals identified in this Annual Action Plan. The City has also developed working relationships with identified HOME Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs). CHDOs are organizations that will sponsor, develop and/or own affordable housing projects that benefit residents at or below 80 percent of the area's median family income. CHDO Organizations have a mission dedicated to providing suitable housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households. HUD requires a minimum of 15 percent of each year’s HOME grant amount to be set aside for CHDO activities. During FY 2022/23, the City of Anaheim will continue to work on these collaborations.

HOPWA - Methods for selecting project sponsors:
The 2022/2023 program year will be Anaheim’s eighth year administering the HOPWA program on behalf of Orange County. The City of Anaheim’s Housing Authority continues to administer the Tenant Based Rental Assistance program, while all other activities are administered by the Health Care Agency of Orange County (HCA). The HCA has been identified as the program’s project sponsor for the past 8 years. They have met and surpassed their annual goals within budget year after year and continue to be a valuable partner in providing HIV positive clients with supportive services throughout Orange County.
There are extremely limited agencies that provide services to the people living with HIV and play a vital role in the community in Orange County. The HCA is a key partner because they receive Ryan White funding that we can leverage our funds with and contract with other service providers for case management, housing coordination, life skills training, Short-Term Rent, Mortgage and Utility Assistance and Short-Term Housing. HCA goes out for procurement every three to five years for these HIV services.
Their RFP is developed is based on HIV Planning Council’s services standards of care and Instructions to the grant recipient.
Currently, there is no plan to RFP for a new project sponsor.

Hi Michelle,
Hope your day is going well. I wanted to go ahead and
send you thoughts I have regarding the Action Plan, this list is nowhere complete however, I felt that it's
important that I at least provide to you some areas that I believe to be some of the largest road blocks the
homeless experience. I will first list the possible problem then the basis of the possible problem and finally
possible solutions.
1. Many of the non-profits do not answer the phone
even during business hours.
a. This is problematic. Since the homeless are
homeless no matter what time of day or night it
is.
b. The homeless. Have a hard time keeping a
hold of Personal possessions, especially cell
phones. They get damaged, lost, Stolen,
misplaced, and even sold for whatever they
want money for.
c. There are of course many other issues
regarding nonprofits not answering their
phones. But those are the two top problems.
i. A possible solution is to revise
any contracts that Anaheim has with any of
the nonprofits that work with the homeless
and that they should make a concerted
effort to answer their phone during
business hours.
2. Nonprofits will not help if the homeless person(s) shows to be receiving assistance from another
nonprofit in the HMIS database.
a. It’s Against the nonprofits policy to give
assistance when another nonprofit is giving
them assistance.
b. I am currently assisting a homeless family of
4 in trying to obtain assistance from City net.
However, they will not assist them because
they're shown in the HMIS database as
receiving assistance from the illumination
foundation. However, they have not been active
in their program for well over five months and
have not been receiving assistance from
anybody. The family has attempted to contact
the Illumination Foundation, but they have not
returned her calls. They've been sleeping in a
park with 8 and 10-year-olds. There appears to
be nothing I can do to help them until
illumination removes them from receiving
assistance from them in the HMIS database.
i. All nonprofits that enter
homeless persons information into the
HMIS database that when that person
graduates, completes, exits, or just takes
off they should be immediately removed
from the HMIS database as receiving
assistance from that non-profit.
ii. Allow the homeless to receive
assistance from multiple agencies
especially when there are children
involved.
3. Many of the homeless do not know where to go
or who to contact when their rights are violated,
discriminated against, and/or otherwise minimized.
a. There were numerous occasions where this
happened to me and my family, but I didn’t
know where to go to get help.
i. All contracted nonprofits are to
provide their clients with addresses, phone
numbers, agency names of where they can
go to file a grievance or complaint.
4. Lack of communication between government
agencies, nonprofit agencies, and the homeless.
Nonprofits treat information regarding what’s
available as if it is proprietary information.
a. Most information including but not limited to
funding availability, resources, housing
availability, new programs, programs that have
available openings, public comments,
community meetings, city council meetings, the
news just about everything is done digitally.
b.
The homeless most of the time do not have
easy access to the internet and rely on word of
mouth or the police to get some type of help.
c. When was the last time you saw a newspaper
stand?
d. A lot of the homeless, especially the ones
with children, hide from the public eyes and are
too afraid to turn to agencies in fear of their
children being taken by CPS.
i. Not too sure on this one maybe
some kind of grass root efforts.
ii. Hire a neutral company to go
out and talk or survey the homeless to see
what their needs are and how they can be
best helped.
Thank You
