The Consolidated Plan is a process conducted every five years by cities receiving these federal funds. The Consolidated Plan process serves as a framework for a community -wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus federal funds to hel p low and moderate -income persons. The process includes the City of Anaheim’s assessment of affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, so that the City Council and Anaheim community could make data -driven, place-based investment decisions for the federal funding it is to receive during the five -year planning period.
The City of Anaheim’s 2023/24 Action Plan outlines a list of specific projects for funding with CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA funds.
HUD announced the final funding amounts under CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA programs on February 27, 2023. Below are the final federal funding amounts that the City can use for projects and programs to address unmet housing and community development needs.

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 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.

1. Introduction
The City of Anaheim developed its five -year (2021/2021 – 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 di scuss 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/departme nts 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, a nd unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The City of Anaheim is an active participant in the Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC), led and coordinated by 2-1-1 Orange County (211 OC) and OC Community Services. Currently, the Deputy Director of Anaheim Housing & Community Development holds a seat on the CoC board. The 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. The CoC 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 Or ange 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 2023 Annual Action Plan
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.

AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
Orange County’s historically high market rents make affordability a challenge. In 2020, 81% of extremely low-income households in the region were considered rent burden. Regional studies show 98% of households with one adult in the workforce faces challenges meeting basic needs, including housing.
Among this group, Black a nd Latino households are disproportionately more likely to be unable to afford area cost of living. They are joined by households on fixed incomes such as seniors and those working lower wage jobs. In surveys conducted with households experiencing homeless ness in Orange County, 36% of respondents cited difficulties with the housing market as the reason they are experiencing homelessness, the second most common cause of all respondents' homelessness. The City of Anaheim is committed to increasing the stock o f affordable housing available in the community for various populations and at various income levels. The City has recently facilitated the development of housing for low income seniors, families, and individuals. The City is committed to continuing this w ork, inclusive of the production of permanent supportive housing options.

The City of Anaheim is working to improve services and housing placements for individuals living unsheltered including ensuring provision of culturally competent and human -centric services for those that are chronically homeless and on the streets. As such, the City has set the ambitious goal of reducing unsheltered homelessness by 70% by 2025. The Ci ty’s dedicated outreach team led by health care professionals and case managers serve as the front door to Anaheim's homelessness services and are vital in helping the City progress towards achieving the goal of reducing the number of persons who experience unsheltered homelessness.
Outreach programs are aimed at connecting households residing in unsheltered situations to the network of services available in the community to aid people experiencing homelessness. In the City of Anaheim, the Community Care Response Team (CCRT) and the Be Well OC Mobile Response Team provide outreach services including mental health assistance for those in crisis. As part of our outreach efforts, the City and its partners continually monitor areas with large concentra tions of people living unsheltered to ensure a targeting of services to where resource connections may be most needed.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City will continue to invest ESG funds into non profits who operate and provide emergency shelters, including emergency shelter for families with children and households affected by domestic violence. The Anaheim Emergency Shelter operates year round offering beds, basic necessities, and resource connections to those in need. Operating as a temporary shelter, the site is a prelude to the eventual opening of the Center of Hope, a mixed -intervention site with shelter beds and supportive housing units Annual Action Plan
2023
57 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
due to open under the direction of the Salvation Army. Additionally, the City funds Covenant House, a 25 bed Transition Aged Youth shelter and a variety of bridge housing units that offer temporary long term shelter.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individ uals 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
Families with children
Families are a priority population for the City given the quick rise in households with minor children experiencing homelessness. The City will continue to fund Homeless Assistance Program for Families (HAP-F). This program is a collaboration between the City and local schools districts and street outr each teams. The City utilizes school McKinney -Vento liaisons, the Community Care Response Team (CCRT), and the Be Well OC Mobile Response Team to identify and link families who are at risk or experiencing homelessness with the Illumination Foundation and Homeless Intervention Services of Orange County (HIS-OC), both City-sponsored service providers. The pro gram combines tenant -based assistance through HOME funds and supportive services through ESG funds to help families stabilize, gain employment, and financial competency to promote to self-sufficiency within 12-18 months.
The City, through the Housing Authority, is also committed to increasing the availability of affordable housing options for families. A recent example of new development dedicated to serving this population includes Rockwood Apartments, which encompasses 48 units set-aside for homeless families and the upcoming Finamore Place Apartments, which includes 20 dedicated units for families experiencing homelessness. The Anaheim Housing Authority has further assisted in addressing individual and family homelessness through the implementation of a “homeless preference” for 50% of turnover vouchers, vouchers that become available as assisted households exit the program. The allocation of Housing Choice Vouchers to help address homelessness is a critical resource.
Veterans
The City strives to connect Veterans to all services for which they are eligible, both within and outside of the homelessness crisis response system. The Anaheim Housing Authority is the recipient of Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD -VASH) vouchers assigned for the City of Anaheim. At present, the four Housing Authorities in Orange County have a large allocation of HUD-VASH vouchers, sufficient to provide rental assistance to most veterans experiencing homelessness in the entire region. To ens ure every Veteran makes a connection to an available voucher, the City maintains extensive partnerships with organizations serving Veterans, including Veterans Affairs. These partners help facilitate resource sharing Annual Action Plan

whenever possible to ensu re Veterans are accessing not only housing but the extensive network of services available to them throughout the region to address their well -being.
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.
Transition-aged Youth
As a community, it is pertinent to meet the unique needs of transition -aged youth (TAY) experiencing homelessness. This includes coupling services that affirm and foster the development of young people with housing that supports stability. The City was the first jurisdiction in Orange County to partner with and fund Covenant House, a TA Y shelter, to provide immediate services to TAY. Covenant House works with StandUp For Kids, an organization that launched in Orange County in 2003 with a single focus: to end the cycle of youth homelessness with the aid of ESG Cares Act funds. The organiz ation works to provide basic needs, housing, mentoring support, care, and love to at -risk and homeless youth.
Seniors
As the cost of housing rises, the City acknowledges that households on fixed incomes are most susceptible to episodes of homelessness. Among this population, the City is aware of the rise in individuals aged 62 and older who are falling into homelessness due to financial straits. To assist seniors in the community with housing and to prevent a continued influx of people expe riencing homelessness, the City has established the Senior Safety Net Program, which offers emergency rental assistance to seniors in need of housing help. The City has also prioritized housing projects for the aging population, including the newly opened El Verano Senior Apartments, which completed construction during the COVID-19 pandemic and was placed into service before the end of 2020.
Discussion
The City developed a Homelessness Action Plan to help coordinate regional efforts to approach homelessness. As this plan evolves, the City has explored various options in programming that ensures the needs of Anaheim’s residents are met while also addressi ng regional planning efforts. At the present time ESG homelessness prevention funds are not being utilized in support of a discharge plan. However, the City renders prevention services through the Homeless Assistance Program for Families (HAP -F) funded by HOME and ESG and the Senior Safety Net Program which is funded with HOME and CDBG funds.
Anaheim's comprehensive approach to homelessness centers on housing first, a proven model that Annual Action Plan
2023
59 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
prioritizes getting people into housing with supportive s ervices. The City offers pathways to get people into housing, self supportive through work and healthy through drug rehabilitation and other recuperative care.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
A variety of barriers exist making it difficult to access affordable housing. Some of these barriers include:
1. Income and wages are not keeping up with the rising housing costs.
2. Job loss due to unforeseen circumstances such as COVID-19.
3. A lack of financial resources for those seeking rental assistance.
4. The cost of purchasing a home is out of reach for a majority of the residents.
5. High cost of land and limited vacant land for future affordable housing sites.
6. Low vacancy rates thus leading to higher rents.
7. Affordable housing development barriers (e.g. development costs, processing time, community opposition ("NIMBYism").
A majority of the City residents have low -wage jobs working in the service and tourism sectors such as Disneyland and the hotel industry. Due to COVID-19, many people who live and work in Anaheim were severely impacted due to the temporary shut -down of the tourism industry (Disneyland, hotels, convention center, restaurants, etc.) by the State of California. The loss of employment combined with an unaffordable housing market in Orange County makes it nearly impossible for these families to pay the market rate rents or mortgages. The City will continue to 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 s uch 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:
• 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 Ho using 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 Annual Action Plan
2023
62 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 said structures would only be allowe d to 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.
Discussion:
The City remains committed to working with partner cities and County to ensure the region addresses the housing goals placed forth by the state under the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), increasing opportunities to convert vacant City -owned land to housing opportunities for populations experiencing homelessness, and improving strategies to engage property owners of existing units.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
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, t he City 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. In 2019, The City utilized HEAP funds to build a 224 emergency bed homeless shelter that is currently being 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.

The City continues to implement 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 m any housing and community development programs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing During the 2023-2024 Program Year, the City will use CDBG funds allocated in prior years to continue preserving and maintaining existing affordable h ousing through the City of Anaheim Residential Rehabilitation Program.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
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 re habilitation 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.
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 prov iding 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 neighborhood facility will be improved to the future plan to be able to provide economic development, workforce development, and employment training programs for Anaheim’s youth, young adults, and displaced workers. The 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 Admi nistration, 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 Annual Action Plan
2023
65 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
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 development goals. 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. HUD requires a minimum of 15 percent of each year’s HOME grant amount to be set aside for CHDO activities.

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 10 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 Annual Action Plan
2023
