The purpose of this appointment is to prevent duplicate efforts by local ES G 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.
Additionally, the Orange County ESG grantees (the County of Orange, the City of Anaheim, the City of Garden Grove, and the City of Santa Ana) formed the Orange County ESG Collaborative. The Orange County ESG Collaborative established a unified grant application to review project proposals and recommend ESG allocations to nonprofits.

Introduction
The City received $4,221,477 in 2019 CDBG funds, $1 ,406,689 in 2019 HOME funds, $2,246,413 2019 HOPWA funds, and $361,359 in 2019 ESG funds. The table below reflect HUD's current allocations. The figure for “Expected Amount Available Remainder of ConPlan” anticipat es level funding using the 2019 allocation amounts and projecting those amounts over the next final year covered by the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan.
This Plan anticipates a one-
time influx of Program Income form the NSP Program. On June 14, 2016, HUD issued the Notice of Neighborhood Stabilization Program: Changes to Closeout Requirements related to Program Income (Program Income Notice) (FR 5933-N01). The Program Income Notice described changes to the closeout requirements applied to the Neighborhoo d Stabilization Program who are also grantees under the Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) program and allows the transfer of program income from NSP to the CDBG program. The City of Anaheim intends to transfer all NSP program income to the CDBG program during this Action Plan period.
Under the March 27, 2020, CARES Act appropriation, the City of Anaheim received three special allocations to help the City prevent, prepare for, and respond to the Coronavirus. The City received $2,537,140 in CDBG, $1,279,072 in ESG, and $368,235 in HOPWA.
In September 2020, the City was notified by HUD that two additional CARES Act allocations were awarded to Anaheim: $4,534,509 in CDBG-CV3 funds, and $8,700,250 in ESG -CV2 funds.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state, and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied 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 th e former redevelopment agency and takes into account the State tax credit awards to meet the HOME match requirement for affordable housing development projects. Since the City has excess match funds ($43,455,782), the City applies this match excess to all of 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 C ounty Children and Families Commission) to state funds (e.g., Cal OES Emergency Housing) to private funds (e.g., Rescare Inc.).
Due to the National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus (COVID- 19) pandemic, HUD has waived the City’s HOME Match require ment for all expenditures beginning October 1, 2019 and will continue to do so through September 30, 2021. The City requested and received the waiver on June 24, 2020.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdictio n that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The Housing Authority owns parcels of land throughout the City that is available to Affordable Housing Developers through an RFP process for the development of affordable housing for low - income households. Anaheim Housing Authority ground lease to developers housing units (27 units) in the Avon Dakota neighborhood. The developers will rehabilitate and convert these housing units to long-term affordable housing for low-income families.
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 2019.
Housing Choice Voucher Section 8 Program: The Anaheim Housing Authority (AHA) administers the Section 8 program within the Cit y of Anaheim and will provide subsidies to approximately Annual Action Plan
2019
31 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
5,733 households. The Anaheim Housing Authority anticipates $ 72,526,000 million in funding from HUD to pay for Housing Assistance Payments for its rental assistance programs within the City in FY 2019.
HUD-VASH: In Fiscal Year 2018 the Anaheim Housing Authority (AHA) received 54 new federal housing vouchers 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. This increases the agency’s allocation to 74 vouchers to support homeless veterans in FY 2019.
Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC): The federal 4% and 9% LIHTC is the principal source of funding for the construction and rehabilitation of affordable rental homes. They are a dollar-for- dollar credit against federal tax liability. In FY 2019, the City of Anaheim projects 230 units utilizing these federal sources will be used for construction.

The City of Anaheim allocated 2019 HOME funds to tenant based rental assistance (TBRA), which supports two City sponsored programs, the Homeless Assistance Pilot Program (HAPP) and Chronically Homeless Individuals Pilot Program (CHIPP). The intent of these program is to partner the HOME – TBRA funds with ESG case management services to help stabilize and house homeless families and individuals.
In December 2019, the City amended its Annual Action Plan to add $350,000 in HOME funding to a fourth tenant based rental assistance program specifically designed for Anaheim’s senior population. The program will be adm inistered by Anaheim’s Housing Authority. It is estimated

that 100 senior households will be assisted through this program.
The City allocated its remaining 2019 HOME funds to support eligible CHDO and HOME housing development activities. The City has num erous housing developments in the pipeline and as those projects take shape and move forward, the city will assess the viability of infusing HOME/CHDO funds into the project.
The City also allocated HOPWA funds to support the Rental Assistance Program (RAP). The RAP program operates just like the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program, by supporting tenants with housing affordability. In addition, funds have been allocated to local non –profits that assist with housing services such as, security deposit assistance and emergency financial assistance.
Our funds are passed through a contract we have with the Health Care Agency of Orange County.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City continues to allocate federal funds to services and programs to address homelessness in the City and countywide that affect many people from all social, economic, and racial backgrounds. During the public outreach process, the City reconfirmed that homelessness is a major issue in the community. Individuals or families that are homeless have a variety of special needs, including emergency shelter, counseling, job training, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing. The long-term housing needs are for transitional housing and permanent supportive housing.
Describe the jurisdictions one -year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City will continue investing HOME and ESG funds to support the Homeless Assistance Pilot Program (HAPP) and Chronically Homeless Individual Pilot Program (CHIPP). Both programs use HOME funds under the Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) to house homeless families and individuals and provide case management services under the ESG program. Furthermore, City works with City Net organization to conduct street outreach and collaborates with the County’s Continuum of Care Coordinated Entry System (CES) to address the needs of homeless population.
The City continues to participate in a “Homeless Policy Working Group” to research policy options as part of Anaheim’s larger initiative to address homelessness.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Homeless families an d individuals have both housing and service needs. The immediate long - term housing needs are transitional housing and permanent supportive housing. Homelessness results from a combination of factors including poverty, weak or absent family and social networks, inadequate education or job skills, family break-up resulting from violence or divorce, catastrophic illness, prison re -alignment, mental illness, and substance abuse/addiction.
Socioeconomic factors include an inadequate supply of affordable housing, reduction in health and human services, the high cost of childcare and transportation, and the lack of jobs that pay living wages.
The City continues to invest ESG funds to nonprofits who operate and provide emergency shelters. The City collaborates with the City of Santa Ana, the City of Garden Grove, and the
Annual Action Plan
2019
81 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
County of Orange to address homelessness on a regional basis. The City recognizes the “Housing First” policy and works with the Continuum of Care to provide additional permanent housing and supportive housing for homeless living in emergency shelters, transitional housing, and on the streets.
The City initiated two homeless related programs: 1) Homeless Assistance Pilot Program (HAPP), and 2) Chronically Homeless Individual Pilot Program (CHIPP). The City funds both programs with HOME and ESG funds to provide housing and supportive services to homeless populations.
In April and June 2020, the City was notified that it would receive two special allocations of ESG funds from the CARES Act that was signed into law following the National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus (COVID- 19). Anaheim’s share of the ESG first special allocation was $1,279,072. The second special allocation is $8,700,250, for a total of $9,979,322 in ESG-CV funds.
Via this two Substantial Amendments to the 2019-20 Action Plan, the City will allocate a total of $8,981,390 to homeless programs including emergency shelter, homeless prevention, street outreach, and rapid re-housing. The City will partner with several subrecipients including Collette’s Children’s Home, Eli Home, Families Forward, HIS House, Interval House, Mercy House, Pathways, CityNet, and StandUp for Kids to help protect the homeless population from the Coronavirus.
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 supports a number of programs to assist low -income individuals and families to avoid homelessness. This includes providing Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers to homeless people, providing funds to keep people in their homes in times of fina ncial crisis, and implementing a rapid re -housing program. Other support services, such as job and training assistance, food assistance, and counseling are also available to help persons and families recover from homelessness and to avoid returning to 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 faciliti es, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving

2019
82 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.
The City has certified to HUD that it will undertake efforts to develop and implement a homeless discharge plan. HUD has stated that as part of the City developing and implementing a homeless discharge coordination policy it may use ESG homeless prevention funds t o assist very low - income individuals and families at risk of becoming homeless after being released from publicly funded institutions such as health care facilities, foster care or other youth facilities, or corrections institutions or programs.
On a regional basis, the County’s Community Services – Housing and Community Development Department is leading in developing and implementing a discharge plan for the entire county and has solicited the assistance of cities such as Anaheim. As this plan evolves, the City will explore various options in programming that ensures the needs of Anaheim’s residents are met while also addressing regional planning efforts. At the present time ESG homelessness prevention funds are not being utilized in support of a discharge plan.
The First Amendment to the 2019 Action Plan, approved in December 2019, provides additional HOME funds in the amount of $350,000 to be used towards homeless prevention efforts via a tenant based rental assistance program for extremely low-income seniors.

Introduction:
Majority of the City residents have low-wage jobs working in the service and tourism sectors such as Disneyland and hotel industry. This combined with an unaffordable housing market in Orange County makes it next to impossible for these families to pay th e market rate rents or mortgages. The City will make the most with the limited resources available to preserve and create affordable housing units.
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
The City has taken the following actions to increase the supply of land available for the future development of affordable housing and reduce barriers to affordable housing: a. Certified a Final Environmental Impact Report for a General Plan Amendment; b. Approved a General Plan Amendment to expand housing opportunities; c. Approved the conversion of 743 acres of underutilized and/or underperforming commercial land primarily along major arterials to residential land use; d. 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. e. Approved a Zoning Code Amendment to provide more flexible development standards for multiple family development; and f. Adopted a new Multiple Family Affordable Housing Developments ordinance to encourage the development of affordable housing for very low income families and was later merged with the City’s Density Bonus Ordinance to allow for the creation of deeper incentives such as less string ent landscaping, setbacks, building separation and building heights for developers who construct new affordable rental and homeownership housing projects; g. 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 Policy aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing in the City of Anaheim, along with an Affordable Hous ing 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

Introduction:
The City continues to invest federal funds for in projects and programs that address the priority needs of the community. High priority needs are homelessness, social services, and affordable housing. The City has a homeless policy working group to addres s the longstanding homeless related issues in the City and regionally. The City passed an ordinance to declare a shelter crisis pursuant to Senate Bill 850 to participate in the State of California’s Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP). HEAP funds were u sed to build a 224 -emergency bed homeless shelter that is currently being operated by the Salvation Army Orange County. The City is anticipating a second phase to expand the site, which will create a 600 -bed transitional housing and comprehensive care facility known as the Center of Hope. It is expected to open late 2020 early 2021. On March 6, 2019, the City opened an additional 102 -bed shelter that is currently being operated by Illumination Foundation. Furthermore, the City uses other funding sources (old redevelopment funds) to finance affordable housing projects
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City collaborates with various social service, housing, and economic development service providers. The City assists res idents in obtaining the information they require to meet their housing and supportive service needs.
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.
Because of the national emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus coupled with a stay-at- home order for all of Orange County, many local businesses suffered a loss of business revenue.
Via this substantial amendment, the City will utilize CDBG-CV funds to operate a Microenterprise Business Grant Program. The program will offer grants to small businesses with 1 -5 employees to help sustain their operations with the goal of retaining employees. With an investment of just over $1.8 million, the City anticipates that 180 small businesses can be assisted.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City will continue funding the residential rehabilitation program, the TBRA program, and

affordable housing development projects in an effort to preserve and create affordable housing.
The City of Anaheim implemented 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 deteriorating/deteriorated areas. The Program, approved by City Council on April 26, 2016, 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 8 0% of the Area Median Income (AMI) with forgivable loans generally up to $25,000 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, transfe r of title, no owner occupancy, or cash- out refinancing. Our goal for the 2019 program year is to help 10 more households.
In addition, the City anticipates providing housing units to 60 homeless families and individuals under the HAPP and CHIPP program . The City has allocated prior year HOME funds to the Sandman affordable housing development project and is waiting for the tax credit allocations.
Currently preparing information regarding affordable housing projects and motel conversion ordinance.
Maintaining affordable housing became increasingly difficult with the COVID- 19 outbreak. With sudden losses of income, unemployment, and underemployment, even those househol ds with housing became vulnerable to losing it. In response to this, the City has allocated over $3.3 million in CDBG-CV (CARES Act) funds to an Emergency Rental Housing Assistance Program that provides short-term (no more than 3 months) rental assistance to persons affected by the COVID -19 pandemic. It is estimated that approximately 1,570 households will be assisted through the crisis.
The City also received special allocations of ESG -CV ($ 9,979,322) and HOPWA -CV funds ($368,235) to help prevent, prepare for, and respond to the Coronavirus. The City will utilize ESG- CV funds to assist homeless persons with additional emergency shelter, homeless prevention, and rapid re -housing services. Likewise, the City will program HOPWA -CV funds for emergency

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City and Anaheim Housing Authority work together to ensure that the rehabi litation 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 w ith 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.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families 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 and facing a one-time extenuating circumstance of financial hardship, providing interim rental assistance and other housing -related costs to families at risk of homelessness, and providing Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers to homeless indivi duals and families.
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, including 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 Po lice, Community Services, City Attorney, Planning, Public Works, and Public Utilities, to address factors that contribute to the deterioration of neighborhoods.
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 agencies to meet the proposed housing and community develo pment goals. The City has also

HOPWA - Methods for selecting project sponsors:
The 2019-2020 program year will be Anaheim’s sixth 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 Ag ency of Orange County (HCA). The HCA has been identified as the program’s project sponsor for the past 6 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 very 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 fu nding 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 3-5 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.
At this time, there is no plan to RFP for a new project sponsor.
