A core purpose of the Trust Fund is to finance a portion of future affordable housing developments, enabling the creation of new affordable communities. By establishing a dedicated local funding source, the City is positioning itself to leverage additional resources, stimulate development, and increase the overall supply of housing available to very low, low, and moderate-income households across Anaheim. The AHA entered into agreements, started construction, or completed the following projects during FY 2024-2025 to expand the supply of affordable housing: Beach-Lincoln Apartment Project (Beach-Lincoln Rental) is a 100% affordable 47-unit Intergenerational apartment rental housing project located at 130 S. Beach Blvd. The project successfully received a tax credit award in September 2024. Nine of the 47 units in the project will be made available to individuals exiting the foster care system. The AHA awarded 46 Project-Based Section 8 Vouchers to assist the project. The project commenced construction in April 2025 and is scheduled for completion in November 2026. The AHA acquired the Tampico Motel, located at 120 S. State College Boulevard, and released an RFP for the conversion of the Tampico Motel to a 100% affordable rental special needs housing project in July 2023. The RFP process and Developer selection were completed in September 2023. The selected developer applied for Tax Credits from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) on August 11, 2024, and was successfully awarded Tax Credits from TCAC on December 11, 2024. The project commenced construction in June 2025 and is anticipated to be completed by December 2026.The Azure Apartments Permanent Supportive Housing Apartment Community (Studio 6 Motel) is a 100% affordable motel conversion project located at 1251 N. Harbor Boulevard. The Anaheim Housing Authority/City partnered with the Developer to submit an application for State of California Housing and Community Development (HCD) HOMEKEY Program funds and received an allocation in March of 2022 to provide interim housing for homeless individuals. Subsequently, the Anaheim Housing Authority approved a Developer's proposal to convert the interim housing project into an 89-unit Permanent Supportive Housing project for individuals and families exiting a chronically homeless condition. The AHA also approved the Developer’s request for 87 Project-Based Section 8 Vouchers to assist the project. The Developer also received a Tax Credit Allocation from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) in March 2023 to help finance the project. The conversion is currently underway, and construction is expected to be completed in December 2025. As part of the conversion from interim housing to permanent supportive housing, the developer renamed the project Azure Apartments.
ATTACHMENT 5 Page 2 of 6The AHA continues to actively acquire and assemble properties in the City to seek opportunities for creating affordable housing. Below is an update for FY 2024-2025: The AHA acquired several motels on Beach Boulevard, known as the Covered Wagon, Rainbow Inn, and Anaheim Lodge, located at 823, 831, and 837 S. Beach Boulevard, respectively. The AHA proposes to assemble the motel properties for the development of a workforce-affordable rental housing and homeownership project. Staff completed the relocation process for existing long-term tenants and demolished the Motels to make way for future development. The combined site will be released through an RFP process to seek development proposals. The AHA acquired the Kettle Motel located at 1760 W. Lincoln Avenue. Staff completed the relocation process for existing long-term tenants and demolished the Motel to make way for future development. AHA is currently pursuing the acquisition of an adjacent commercial property in order to assemble a larger, more viable site for development. If the AHA is successful in acquiring the adjacent commercial property, the combined sites will be released through an RFP process to seek development proposals. The property known as the Karcher/UEI site is an AHA-owned site recently assembled for the development of a multi-generational affordable housing project. The Karcher/UEI site is located on Harbor Boulevard and West Carl Karcher Way. In November 2025, the AHA released an RFQ to seek qualified developers for the development of the site. The deadline to submit an RFQ is February 2026, with developer selection expected to be completed in March or April 2026. The site known as Lemon/Santa Ana comprises several AHA-owned properties assembled for the development of a workforce-affordable rental housing and homeownership project. The Lemon/Santa Ana site (comprised of several non-contiguous parcels) is located on Lemon and Santa Ana Streets. Staff are currently assessing the development parameters of the site in preparation for an RFP process to seek development proposals. PHA GOAL: IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF ASSISTED HOUSING During FY 2024–2025, the City of Anaheim advanced this goal by adopting a Local Housing Trust Fund on May 29, 2025. One of the objectives of the Trust Fund is to preserve affordable housing, which the City has identified as a local priority. This enhances long-term housing quality and stability while expanding opportunities for very low-, low-, and moderate-income households to remain in safe, well-maintained assisted housing. The City of Anaheim has continued to seek opportunities to revitalize low-income neighborhoods characterized by substandard living conditions and high calls for service, as evidenced in the Avon Dakota and Hermosa Village neighborhoods. Avon Dakota and Hermosa Village consist of multi-phased projects involving the acquisition and rehabilitation of apartment complexes, as well as the conversion of market-rate units into long-term affordable units. The first phase of the Avon Dakota revitalization project was completed in 2013 and included the acquisition and rehabilitation of 16 units to provide affordable housing for low-income families. The second phase of the project, comprising 21 units for low-income families, was ATTACHMENT 5 Page 3 of 6completed in January 2019. Since 2014, the City acquired ten additional properties in the Avon Dakota Neighborhood and is in the process of acquiring two more properties, totaling 32 units. These properties will be rehabilitated or incorporated into a new construction project to provide affordable housing as part of a future Phase Three project. The Hermosa Village Neighborhood Revitalization project consists of four phases completed between 2002 and 2008. The Phase I project consisted of 294 units resyndicated in 2017, which included the rehabilitation of the units to meet current standards, improvements to on-site resident amenities, and the addition of four units, resulting in a total of 298 units. The Phase II project, consisting of 112 units, was also resyndicated in November 2019 to provide the capital necessary for the rehabilitation of the Project and to extend the affordability period to 55 years. The Developer was successful in receiving a Tax Credit funding allocation from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) and Bonds from the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) in April of 2020. Phase II rehabilitation was completed in February 2022. The Hermosa Village project comprises a total of 521 units across its four phases. The developer is proposing to resyndicate and conduct improvements for the Phase III and Phase IV projects and was recently awarded a Tax Credit funding allocation from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) and Bonds from the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) in December 2025. Construction is expected to commence in June 2026. AHA-owned properties assembled for the development of affordable housing:As part of AHA’s efforts to increase the supply of affordable housing, the AHA utilized its own land to develop the following affordable housing projects: Beach-Lincoln Apartments and the Tampico Motel affordable housing projects. The Tampico Motel RFP was released in July 2023 to seek development proposals for the creation of affordable housing. The AHA selected a Developer for the Tampico Motel in March 2024. The Tampico Motel was awarded a Tax Credit allocation in December 2024. Construction started in June 2025 and is expected to be completed in December 2026. The Beach-Lincoln RFP was released in February 2022 to seek development proposals for the creation of affordable housing. The AHA selected a Developer for the Beach-Lincoln site in April 2024. The Beach-Lincoln project was awarded a Tax Credit allocation in October 2024. Construction started in April 2025 and is expected to be completed in November 2026. The AHA does not own the land for the Azure Apartments (Studio 6 Motel) Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) project site but provided funding to the project to assist in the rehabilitation and conversion of the site to an affordable housing project. The Azure Apartments PSH project obtained a Tax Credit Award in March 2023 and is currently under construction with an expected completion date of December 2025. The Azure Apartments PSH (Studio 6 Motel) project will create 87 units for homeless individuals, and the Beach-Lincoln Inter-generational Apartments will create 47 units for seniors and transitional-aged youth, totaling 134 new affordable rental units. The Tampico Motel Conversion special needs project, currently under construction, will add 31 affordable rental units to the AHA’s affordable housing inventory for a total of 165 affordable units.
ATTACHMENT 5 Page 4 of 6PHA GOAL: INCREASE ASSISTED HOUSING CHOICES The AHA continues its mobility agreement with three other PHAs in Orange County (the Garden Grove Housing Authority, the Orange County Housing Authority, and the Santa Ana Housing Authority) as an effort to increase housing choices throughout the county. Additionally, AHA maintains its contract with AffordableHousing.com (formerly known as GoSection8.com), a property listing service that provides free listing options for landlords, allowing program participants to search for rental units that accept AHA rental assistance. PHA GOAL: ENHANCE CLIENT ENGAGEMENT TO IMPROVE SERVICE DELIVERY During FY 2024-2025, AHA made measurable progress across all stated metrics under these goals as established in the FY 2025-2029 5 Year PHA Plan. AHA successfully achieved and maintained a High Performer designation for the FY 2024 SEMAP assessment, reflecting strong program oversight and compliance. The agency continued to actively foster and sustain productive relationships with Orange County partners, including the Orange County Continuum of Care, landlords, and service providers supporting countywide housing initiatives. AHA also advanced its technological efforts by consistently monitoring infrastructure and implementing required system updates. As part of these efforts, AHA upgraded its waiting list application process in FY 2024–2025 to a newer online portal, improving accessibility and efficiency for applicants. Additionally, all PHA staff completed the annual mandatory cybersecurity training, the annual EIV Cyber Awareness Challenge, reinforcing organizational awareness and adherence to safe data security practices. PHA GOAL: PROMOTE SELF-SUFFICIENCY OF ASSISTED HOUSEHOLDS During FY 2024–2025, AHA did not enroll new participants into the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program, as the program remained at full capacity. AHA continued to focus efforts on supporting currently enrolled participants while strengthening program infrastructure and community partnerships to enhance service delivery and long-term outcomes. AHA increased ongoing visibility and engagement with enrolled participants through consistent communication via its quarterly FSS newsletter. The newsletter serves as a key tool to highlight upcoming workshops, employment and educational opportunities, and available community resources, ensuring participants remain informed and connected to supportive services. Throughout the fiscal year, AHA continued building and expanding its resource list by networking with community agencies and service providers. AHA actively participated in Program Coordinating Committee (PCC) meetings to collaborate with existing partners and identify new resources that align with participants’ needs. These efforts support AHA’s goal of connecting participants to services that promote educational advancement, career development, financial stability, and overall self-sufficiency.
ATTACHMENT 5 Page 5 of 6AHA remains committed to strengthening partnerships and expanding referral opportunities to better serve participants. By continuing to build relationships with community organizations and maintaining regular communication with enrolled households, AHA aims to enhance support services and prepare for future enrollment opportunities once program capacity allows. PHA GOAL: ENSURE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IN HOUSINGDuring the reporting period, AHA continued to advance equal opportunity in housing by providing fair housing and reasonable accommodation information through multiple communication channels. This information is included in briefing packets and participant notices and is displayed in the AHA lobby. Program participants are also informed of and referred to services offered by the Fair Housing Council of Orange County, with whom the City maintains an active contract. PHA staff provide this resource to clients when assistance is needed and ensure fair housing protections are clearly communicated through all relevant publications and official notices.PHA GOAL: ASSIST THE HOMELESS POPULATION IN ANAHEIM, CA. The City of Anaheim is an active participant in the Orange County Continuum of Care (OC CoC), which is led by the Office of Care Coordination, located within the County Executive Office. This partnership helps ensure comprehensive, regional coordination of efforts and resources to reduce the number of people at risk of and experiencing homelessness throughout Orange County. This group serves as the regional convenor for the year-round CoC planning process and as a catalyst for the involvement of public and private agencies that comprise the regional homeless system of care. Representatives from the City of Anaheim sit on the CoC Board to advise on the implementation and development of regional policies, as well as in ad hoc committees, including those involving access to the Homeless Management Information System and policies. To help prevent instances of homelessness, in FY 2024-2025, the City allocated $30k in ESG funding towards homelessness prevention programs through service agreements with two community-based organizations. In that year, all programs provided assistance to 39 individuals with prevention services. In FY 2024-25, the City of Anaheim made strides to holistically address literal homelessness through expansion of the Anaheim Homeless System of Care (AHSOC); particularly in the realm of recovery and wellness services that can increase system engagement and housing stability. Through the Anaheim Collaborative Court – Evaluating Strategies and Solutions (ACCESS) program, a court diversion initiative, the Anaheim Housing and Community Development Department partnered with the City Attorney’s Prosecution division to redirect households with misdemeanors to individualized, court-sanctioned wellness plans in lieu of jail time. The program offers substance use and mental health services paired with housing plans to ensure short- and long-term goals are outlined to ensure positive exits from AHSOC once housed. The program has been successful in engaging difficult-to-reach populations and, as of October 2025, ATTACHMENT 5 Page 6 of 6 has enrolled 449 individuals. Of those, 79 have graduated from court-mandated plans, with most having earned case dismissals, further reducing barriers to housing and stability. During FY 2024-2025, the City allocated Emergency Shelter Grant funds (dedicated to preventing homelessness, reducing the number of people experiencing homelessness on the streets, and providing services to both sheltered and unsheltered households) to three agencies that provided emergency shelter services. The City spent a total of $195,000 in emergency shelter services. The three agencies provided emergency shelter to 338 individuals, including those fleeing domestic violence and households with adults and children. Emergency shelter services were also funded in part by State resources and the City's General Fund to provide 325 year-round adult shelter beds, which on a rotating basis served 530 adults in FY 2024-2025. The City also continued funding the Homeless Assistance Program - Families (HAP-F), which combines ESG and HOME funds to provide case management and rental assistance to program participants. The program focuses on assisting homeless families that have children attending Anaheim schools or ties with the community. The program serves families through two service providers that offer up to 24 months of rental assistance. During FY 2024-25, the HAP-F program served 22 households with minor children. Additionally, the City continued to fund the Homeless Individuals Program (HIP), which is operated by Mercy House Living Centers and the Illumination Foundation. The program provides individuals with case management services and tenant-based rental assistance. During FY 2024-25, the HIP program served 27 individual households. In addition to emergency and rental assistance programming, the City also dedicated homelessness funding towards the development of permanent supportive housing (PSH). Utilizing local managed care plan and State homelessness grant funds, the City recently completed construction on a Homekey site consisting of 87 units for at-risk, homeless, and chronically homeless households. The adaptive reuse site is expected to be fully leased up by the end of December 2025. A second development site, with 32 units of PSH, is currently under construction and is expected to serve transitional-age youth (TAY) upon completion in late 2026. Under partnership with local TAY emergency shelters and services program, the site will ensure TAY experiencing homelessness are paired with long-term housing that will resolve their homelessness before such subpopulation experiences even further chronicity.

C.1 Resident Advisory Board (RAB) Comments The Anaheim Housing Authority (AHA) Resident Advisory Board (RAB) hosted an in-person meeting on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at 9 a.m. to discuss the FY 2026-2027 PHA Annual Plan and proposed policy changes to the FY 2026-2027 Administrative Plan. An invitation letter was sent to 234 current and prospective RAB members to attend and participate in the RAB meeting. The RAB reviewed the Annual PHA Plan, its attachments, and all the proposed policy changes. Resident Advisory Board Members: 1. Jeanette Brede 2. Mark Higgins 3. Betty Morales 4. J.C. Weathersby 5. Antwan Frazier 6. Patricia Adelekan 7. Julie Jones 8. Reginald Dean 9. Fred Elliott Jr. 10. Jordan Williams 11. Rita Blanco Summary: Overall, all RAB members expressed support for the proposed policies and had no objections. Many of their inquiries focused on gaining a better understanding of the proposed policies and addressing individual concerns, which are being addressed separately. While discussing the proposed policy change in Section B.1 of the Proposed Annual PHA Plan under Chapter 4-III.C. Selection Method, a RAB member asked whether families participating in other non-EHV programs would be included under the proposed EHV preference. AHA staff clarified that the policy change would apply only to EHV families, as that program is projected not to have continued funding. Existing assisted families in other programs will not be placed back on AHA waiting lists under the proposed EHV preference order. While discussing the proposed policy change in Section B.1 of the Proposed Annual PHA Plan under Chapter 8.A-II.B. and Chapter 8.B-II.B., RAB members requested clarification regarding the new state law, CA Assembly Bill 628. One member asked whether a landlord must replace a tenant-owned broken refrigerator, and another asked whether landlords could offset this cost through other means. AHA staff provided an overview of the law’s new refrigerator and stove requirements and encouraged RAB members to review the law directly. Staff clarified that AB 628 applies to new, amended, or extended leases on or after January 1, 2026. Families must determine whether their lease falls within this time frame and communicate with their landlord if they no longer wish to provide their own refrigerator. AHA staff thanked members for their comments regarding cost offsets, noting that it may be an unintended consequence of the law and will be monitored as implementation continues. Following the RAB meeting, AHA staff emailed RAB members a link to the AHA website with a link to the state website containing all of AB 628 text and fair housing information.

While discussing the proposed policy change in Section B.1 of the Proposed Annual PHA Plan under Chapter 11-I.C. Conducting Regular Reexaminations, a RAB member asked whether they could request an in-person appointment to complete their annual reexamination, and another member asked if the reexamination process could begin earlier. AHA staff clarified that residents may request an in-person appointment directly with their housing specialist to review their annual reexamination. Staff also explained that the process begins 120 days in advance to ensure compliance with federal requirements to complete annual reexaminations on time. AHA acknowledged that there might be delays in reviewing documents after the initial family submission and that this may be an area for potential improvement. The comment was forwarded to the appropriate leadership to investigate this and to ensure timely processing. While discussing the proposed policy change in Section B.1 of the Proposed Annual PHA Plan under Chapter 11-II.C. Changes Affecting Income or Expenses, a RAB member asked whether they needed to report changes in income throughout the year. AHA staff clarified that, under the policy updated last year, families are no longer required to report new or replacement income sources as long as all income was accurately reported during the annual reexamination. Staff noted that reporting income changes is always welcome, as it can help inform the next year’s annual reexamination, and emphasized that families should report any decreases in income so AHA can recalculate subsidies appropriately. While discussing the Proposed Annual PHA Plan’s Section B.3. Progress Report, PHA Goal: Promote self-sufficiency of assisted households, a RAB member commented that they were previously unaware of the program and expressed interest in having it more widely publicized. The member also asked whether the program was limited to families or available to single-member households. Another RAB member shared that they had seen an AHA flyer for the program in the past. AHA staff thanked the members for their feedback and noted that it will explore additional ways to publicize the program so that all households are aware, including through tenant newsletters. AHA staff clarified that single-member households are eligible to participate in the FSS program, though the program is currently full and has a waiting list. Following the RAB meeting, AHA staff emailed RAB members a link to the AHA website with additional information on the FSS program.
