PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL ACTION
On January 11, 2024, and February 1, 2024, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Committee held public meetings to discuss staff's CDBG budget recommendation for FY 2024-2025 and view presentations from the 11 grant applicants. The CDBG Committee recommended a tentative CDBG budget based on the current FY 2023-2024 CDBG allocation for the City Council's consideration.
On March 12, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing to review and discuss the CDBG Committee's tentative CDBG budget recommendation for FY 2024-2025. Following discussion, the City Council approved the tentative CDBG budget for FY 2024-2025.
DISCUSSION
The FY 2024-2025 CDBG Annual Action Plan (“Action Plan”) serves as the City's application for CDBG funds. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that all grantees receiving federal funds prepare an Annual Action Plan that details the use of CDBG, local, and private funds to address the City’s housing and community development priorities. The Action Plan is an element of the City's 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and outlines the following objectives as required by HUD:
Preserve the City's Existing Housing Stock
Assist low- and moderate-income Households in Securing Affordable Rental Housing Assist in the Development of Affordable Housing
Attachments
Resolution
City of Buena Park FY 2024-2025 CDBG Annual Action Plan The Action Plan also explores social service needs benefiting low- and moderate-income persons, which includes providing decent housing, developing a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities for Buena Park residents.
On January 16, 2024, HUD issued a notice providing guidance on preparing and submitting the Action Plan. HUD has advised grantees to submit their plan after they receive their CDBG allocation. Additionally, a waiver is available if HUD does not award CDBG allocations by the May 15 deadline. To date, the City has not received its CDBG allocation from HUD.
Once the CDBG allocation is received, the City will proportionally increase or decrease funding amounts to match its CDBG allocation prior to submission of the Action Plan to HUD.
In accordance with federal regulations and the City's Citizen Participation Plan, public meetings were held on January 11, 2024, and February 1, 2024, to evaluate proposed activities and recommend a tentative budget to the City Council. On March 12, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing to review and discuss the CDBG Committee’s proposed CDBG activities and budget recommendation for FY 2024-2025. The City Council approved the Committee’s recommendation, which includes the estimated CDBG allocation of $749,820 and $183,335 from prior years’ unprogrammed funds and program income for a total amount of $933,155.
The approved CDBG budget for FY 2024-2025 was incorporated into the Action Plan. A 30-day comment period was provided for the public to review and comment on the Action Plan, which commenced on March 22, 2024 and ended on April 23, 2024. Comments received during the public comment period and at the public hearing on April 23, 2024, will be incorporated into the final Action Plan before it is submitted to HUD.
Copies of the Action Plan were available for review at the following locations:

1. Introduction
The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan for the City of Buena Park satisfies federal requirements to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program was created by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The primary objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income.
CDBG funds are allocated on a formula basis to over 1,200 local and State governments. The formula for allocating CDBG is based on variables including current population, projected population growth, age of housing stock, and poverty rate. Each activity to be undertaken with CDBG funds must meet one of the three national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons,
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight, or • Meet a community development need having a particular urgency (e.g., national emergency) The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan is a five-year strategic plan that identifies objectives and goals to address priority housing and community needs. The Annual Action Plan provides information regarding the use of CDBG funds and activities the City will support to address priority needs and specific objectives identified in the City’s Consolidated Plan over a 12-month period. The Action Plan links the Consolidated Plan objectives to address priority housing and community needs and federal resources.
The 2024-2025 Action Plan begins July 1, 2024, and ends June 30, 2025. The City refers to this timeframe as a Fiscal Year (FY 2024-2025).
The Annual Action Plan also serves as the City’s application for CDBG funds. To date, HUD has not announced the 2024 federal budget; however, for planning purposes, the City anticipates its CDBG Allocation for FY 2024-2025 is $749,820. In addition to its 2024 CDBG allocation, the City will use prior year uncommitted CDBG funds ($183,335) and program income received during the year to support eligible activities. The City also has approximately $600,000 in State HOME funds to assist with residential rehabilitation during FY 2024-2025.

Public input was gathered during the preparation and review of the Action Plan via the following actions:
• Consistent with HUD regulations (24 CFR 91.105 (a)(2)(iv)), the City utilized focus groups to ascertain priority needs. Specifically, the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Committee provided input on priority housing, facilities/infrastructure, and social service needs in the community. All meetings are publicly noticed and open to members of the community. • A public review/comment period that provided the community with an additional opportunity to review and shape the Action Plan.
• Public meetings/hearings before the City Council provided open forums for additional public input.
5. Summary of public comments
Attachment 2 summarizes public comments received by the City at various stages of the Action Plan preparation process.
6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them All public comments or views were accepted – none were rejected (see Attachment 2).
7. Summary
The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan is a five-year strategic plan that identifies objectives and goals to address priority housing and community needs with CDBG resources. The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan links the Consolidated Plan and the annual investment of CDBG funds allocated to the City by HUD. In addition to the City’s anticipated 2024-2025 CDBG allocation of $749,820, the City will use uncommitted prior year and program income funds received during the year to undertake CDBG-eligible activities. An estimated $600,000 in State HOME funds will also be available for residential rehabilitation assistance.
The Orange County Housing Authority will provide approximately 329 Buena Park households with rental assistance. CDBG funds will also support code enforcement and public service programs (including homeless outreach, graffiti removal, senior services, community resource services, and youth services). 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan

1. Introduction
Pursuant to HUD regulations, the City took several steps to obtain and incorporate community residents' and stakeholders' input to develop the FY 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan. Consultation efforts included a focus group (e.g., CDBG Committee) and consultation with local and regional social service and public agencies. Residents of the City were also notified of opportunities to review and comment on the draft FY 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan via the City’s internet webpage and newspaper notices.
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 Buena Park collaborates with the County to provide input on public and assisted housing programs. Specifically, the City works with and supports the Orange County Housing Authority’s (OCHA) administration of the Housing Choice Voucher Program, which provides housing subsidies to qualified lower-income renters. Coordination is enhanced by the City’s membership and participation in the Orange County Housing Authority Advisory Committee.
To strengthen the private sector's housing delivery system, the City works with private housing developers to include affordable units in multi-family housing developments within Buena Park. The City also partners with local nonprofit housing organizations to identify and provide housing opportunities for lower-income households.
Orange County has a broad spectrum of public and nonprofit social service providers that address the needs of the City’s residents. Through the annual CDBG Public Service Grant funding process, City staff can ascertain the services City residents require (e.g., senior services, youth services, services for the near-homeless) and develop partnerships with local agencies to ensure the delivery of quality services.
Buena Park also has an active economic development program coordinating business activities and employment programs with community organizations such as the North Orange County Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Development Center, and the Orange County Workforce Solutions. During FY 2019-20, the city used CDBG-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds to support local businesses that preserved or created jobs for lower and moderate-income residents impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.
Coordinating Orange County’s Continuum of Care (OC-CoC) planning process is led by 2-1-1 Orange County and the OC Community Services Department. This nonprofit-public 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 partnership serves as the regional 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
6 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Draft 03/22/24 coordinator 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 City participates in the CoC planning process by providing information regarding the activities it will fund to address local homeless issues. The OC-CoC uses this information to prepare the regional application to HUD for Homeless Assistance Grant funds. City staff will also expedite consistency with the Consolidated Plan and other forms of support for the OC-CoC. The City also supports and participates in the biennial Point-In-Time Survey of the region’s homeless.
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 does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds; therefore, it does not assist the OC- CoC with determining ESG allocations, evaluating the outcome, or developing policies and procedures for administering the regional Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

The City’s Citizen Participation Plan outlines the City’s process to encourage public participation in developing the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and other plans and reports associated with the CDBG Program. Table 4 lists and summarizes the opportunities for public input.
Focus Group Public Hearings: Consistent with HUD’s regulations, the City utilized a focus group in the form of an existing City committee to obtain input on priority needs and make recommendations on allocating limited resources. Specifically, the CDBG Committee held two meetings on January 11, 2024, and February 1, 2024, at which time Committee members received/provided input on housing, public service, and other community needs. The Committee also accepted public testimony from service providers and residents regarding the community's needs.
Additionally, the City Council held two meetings at regular notices and scheduled meetings (March 12, 2024, and April 23, 2024) to obtain additional public input on the draft Annual Action Plan and the proposed use of CDBG funds.
Notices/Website: All meetings were noticed in local newspapers of general circulation, the City’s website, and the City’s posting boards, Buena Park Library and the Buena Park Senior Center message board. Additionally, the draft Annual Action Plan was posted on the City’s website for public review and comment, and hard copies were made available during the required 30-day public comment period, which was held from March 12, 2024, to April 23, 2024 (see Attachment 2).

AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
Fluctuations in CDBG funding make it difficult to estimate the amount available over the five years of the Consolidated Plan. With the loss of redevelopment funding, the only anticipated resource available to implement the City’s Consolidated Plan objectives is housing voucher/certificate resources via OCHA. The City also has State HOME funds available for housing activities.
To date, the HUD federal government has not announced the FY 2024-2025 CDBG allocations; however, for planning purposes, the City anticipates its CDBG Allocation for FY 2024-2025 is $749,820. In addition to its FY 2024-2025 CDBG allocation, the City will utilize prior year uncommitted CDBG funds ($183,335) and program income received during the year to support eligible activities.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, State and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
In past years, the City has leveraged federal funds with local redevelopment funds; however, in 2012, the State Legislature and the Governor passed legislation to dissolve all State redevelopment agencies. Because of this action, redevelopment funding is no longer available. The City will have approximately $600,000 in State HOME program funds to support residential rehabilitation activities during FY 2024-2025.
CDBG does not require matching funds.

15 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Draft 03/22/24 If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan State law requires that a community provide an adequate number of sites to facilitate the production of the City’s regional share of housing. To determine whether the City has enough land to accommodate its share of regional housing needs for all income groups, it must identify “adequate sites.” The City’s 2013- 2021 Housing Element identified several city-owned and private sites suitable for development. Over the past seven years, many sites have been developed or are under construction. The 2021-2029 Housing Element update includes a new inventory of suitable properties for affordable housing.
Four projects with an affordable housing component are currently underway or in the entitlement review process:
• 7682 & 7692 9th St: A multi-family residential development with 18 units; 2 units are reserved for very low-income homebuyers. The ADD BACK project will begin construction in late 2024. • Orchard View Gardens Senior Housing (8300 Valley View St): A 66-unit affordable senior apartment complex with a community center, on-site parking, and site improvements. Units will be exclusive to residents 62+ years old and affordable to households earning less than 60% of the Area Median Income. Eight units are reserved for Permanent Supportive Housing to house formerly homeless seniors. The project is currently under construction and will be completed in late 2024
• 7101 Lincoln Ave: An agreement is in place to develop a 55-unit affordable housing project on a
1.34- acre City-owned site. The project will include one, two, and three-bedroom units targeting families earning 30% to 70 % of the Area Median Income. The project will include after-school tutoring, computer literacy classes, exercise, workforce development programs, and youth programming. Ten units will be reserved for Permanent Supportive housing, five units will have a preference for student families, and 11 will give priority to veteran families. Entitlements for this project have been approved and the developer is obtaining financing.
Discussion
Funding resources to implement the City’s Consolidated Plan are limited. It is anticipated that CDBG funding will continue to fluctuate. In recent years, CDBG housing rehab loan repayments have provided the City with additional funding; however, this source is susceptible to the economy's fluctuations and thus unpredictable. The City also has State HOME funds that can be used for eligible housing activities such as residential rehabilitation.
HUD has begun to invest additional resources into housing assistance vouchers and certificates, and OCHA has aggressively pursued these resources. The City will continue to support OCHA’s efforts to secure new rental assistance resources. Additionally, the City will continue to support social service programs serving City residents; however, resources to support new housing development are limited. 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The City will allocate a portion of its CDBG funds for activities that address the housing/service needs of the elderly and extremely low-income households at risk of homelessness. Per data from the Consolidated Plan, these households contribute significant portions of their income to maintain housing.
Consistent with the City’s Consolidated Plan, resources will be allocated to help these households remain housed rather than fall into homelessness. Funding will also be utilized for homeless outreach and engagement services.
Additionally, the City will encourage and support OCHA’s efforts to obtain additional rental assistance funding for Buena Park households. The City’s Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program will assist elderly and low- and moderate-income homeowners in improving their respective residences to address specific household needs. State funds will also be utilized to provide rehabilitation loans to lower- income homeowners.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed Activities slated for CDBG funding during FY 2024-2025 will primarily be available citywide to income- eligible individuals. Program staff will ensure that program beneficiaries are income-eligible. A list of the City’s CDBG Eligible Areas (Attachment 3: CDBG Eligible Census Tract Block Groups) provides a view of the areas where CDBG resources may be focused on an “area-wide” basis (e.g., code enforcement and graffiti removal).
Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
City of Buena Park 75
CDBG Eligible Area 25
Table 9 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically CDBG funding is mainly allocated on a citywide basis; the City’s primary intent is to serve lower-income households that need services/assistance regardless of where they live within the community. CDBG- eligible areas tend to be older sections of the City. Activities such as graffiti removal and code enforcement will help arrest the decline and improve target neighborhoods in these areas.
Discussion
As indicated above, CDBG funds primarily focus on programs that serve lower-income residents, irrespective of where they live. As the City invests in neighborhoods, it is also expected to create a synergy whereby residents will also invest in their homes and community.

Discussion
Due to limited resources, the City will focus FY 2024-2025 CDBG funds on residential rehabilitation of existing owner-occupied housing units. While not the program's primary focus, some special-needs households (senior and disabled) may be assisted during the year. Information in Table 10 and Table 11 is for CDBG-funded activities only. The City will also implement a residential rehabilitation loan program utilizing State HOME funds to rehabilitate housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income homeowners. OCHA will provide rental assistance to an estimated 329 Buena Park households.

28 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Draft 03/22/24 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
As the Consolidated Plan outlines, the City’s homeless strategy emphasizes preventing homelessness.
HUD’s Strategies for Preventing Homelessness states, “Homelessness prevention is an essential element of any effort to end homelessness either locally or nationwide.” This HUD report indicates it is less expensive and disruptive to keep a household housed in place. The City will fund safety-net services such as after-school childcare and referrals/case management for lower-income households to assist the near-homeless. To help individuals who are already homeless, the City will allocate CDBG resources for chronically homeless outreach and in support of emergency shelter operations.
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 allocate CDBG funding for homeless outreach services. In prior years, the City utilized nonprofit partners for these services. For FY 2024-2025, the City will use in-house staff to provide a multi-faceted homeless outreach program to engage the chronically homeless, assess their needs, and link individuals to appropriate housing and service options. CDBG funding will be used to connect homeless individuals with emergency shelter, interim housing, transportation, and other supportive services.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons For FY 2024-2025, a portion of CDBG funds allocated to City program staff may be utilized to pay for temporary housing (hotel shelter for homeless individuals participating in the outreach program). CDBG funding is also allocated to Mercy House to support the operation of the City’s Navigation Center, which provides 149 beds for homeless individuals (year-round shelter and multi-service center).
No CDBG funding is allocated for transitional housing; however, one transitional housing shelter and one permanent supporting housing community in the City provide approximately 75 beds for homeless families.
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
2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
29 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Draft 03/22/24 and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
As outlined above, the City will focus resources on preventing homelessness and assisting those already homeless. The City’s Homeless Outreach Program will focus CDBG resources on helping chronically homeless individuals with support services and access to temporary housing. Mercy House will provide emergency shelter, counseling/referral services, and housing navigation for homeless individuals.
OCHA reports that 13 formerly homeless households in Buena Park receive a rental assistance voucher.
Additionally, 6 households receive housing assistance via the Emergency Housing Voucher program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; 24 veterans receive special Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) housing vouchers. The VASH program combines Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance for homeless veterans (provided by HUD) with case management and clinical services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The City will also continue to support homeless services agencies by providing Certifications of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan (if applicable and merited). Finally, the City will continue to support the regional CoC as it seeks solutions and resources to address Orange County’s homeless issues.
As outlined above, two housing developments are under construction that will provide permanent supportive housing opportunities for formerly homeless seniors and previously chronically homeless individuals and couples.
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.
The City’s strategy is to help a household at risk of becoming homeless to stay in their home. CDBG funding is allocated to provide financial assistance and case management to help prevent homelessness.
The City will also continue participating in regional homeless planning efforts, including the OC CoC’s Discharge Plan, which aims to prevent individuals leaving institutions, hospitals, etc., from becoming homeless.
Discussion
The City’s homeless strategy is to prevent homelessness by supporting local service providers that provide safety net services. Safety net services help households at risk of homelessness to redirect limited income toward housing. Significant CDBG funds are also allocated for homeless outreach, emergency shelter, and appropriate supportive services.

30 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Draft 03/22/24 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
Barriers to affordable housing and actions to overcome these obstacles are listed in the City’s Housing Element and are summarized in the Consolidated Plan.
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 can grant several types of density bonuses that can provide an incentive for the development of affordable housing:
• Site Area bonus
• Affordable Senior Housing Area bonus
• Affordable Housing Area bonus
• Planned Development and Cluster Planning bonus
• State Density bonus
The City has also created a Housing Opportunities Overlay designation. The base density for the overlay designation is 30 units per acre. For single-family residential developments that apply cluster or planned development designs, a cluster bonus of 20% may be granted, reducing the average lot size and increasing the density permitted.
The City can also offer reduced parking requirements to facilitate affordable senior housing development and transitional housing. The City does not provide a waiver of fees for the development of affordable housing; however, the City does have discretion in calculating specific impact fees (such as park and recreational facilities fees) for affordable housing projects. Finally, barriers created by permit processing time are addressed by providing “one-stop processing,” thereby eliminating duplication of effort.
There is no local tax.
Discussion:
The City’s Housing Element identifies several barriers to developing affordable housing opportunities.
The Housing Element has also identified actions the City can take to reduce the impact of these barriers on affordable housing development. Two projects are slated for construction during the fiscal year using the City’s incentives.

31 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Draft 03/22/24 AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
Outlined below are the City's actions to address the sub-strategies of the Consolidated Plan during FY 2024-2025.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The Consolidated Plan identified senior and extremely low-income households as underserved populations. The City will allocate a portion of its CDBG funds for activities that address the housing and service needs of the elderly and low-income households. Additionally, the City will encourage and support OCHA’s efforts to obtain additional rental assistance funding, especially for senior and low- income households. The City’s residential rehabilitation programs will be available to assist elderly homeowners in improving their respective residences to address specific household needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City of Buena Park has identified the activities it will undertake during FY 2024-2025 to foster and maintain affordable housing. These actions include implementing programs such as owner-occupied residential rehabilitation to maintain and improve housing currently occupied by low- and moderate- income residents. By providing deferred payment loans and grants, lower-income households can rehabilitate their residence to a standard that meets basic health and safety regulations and incur zero or minimal additional housing costs. An estimated ten housing units will be assisted with CDBG-funded loans and grants during FY 2024-2025. State HOME program income funds will also be available to assist homeowners with rehabilitating their primary residence.
Additionally, the City has two affordable housing developments underway, including units reserved for lower-income households. One project is slated for completion during the FY 2024-2025 reporting period; another project will begin construction in late 2024 and an additional project is currently in the financing stage.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
To ensure compliance with program regulations, all housing units constructed before 1978, rehabilitated with HUD resources, will be tested for lead-paint hazards. If lead is found, additional assistance may be provided to eliminate or mitigate lead hazards to comply with current federal lead-based paint regulations.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 9.5% of the City’s population lives below the poverty level, including 11.3% of children under 18 and 16.7% of seniors (age 65 and older). During FY 2024-2025, the City will fund the following activities to help reduce the number of poverty-level households in the City:
2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
32 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Draft 03/22/24 • Housing programs, including rehabilitation for lower-income and senior homeowners and rental assistance for very low-income renters (the latter via the Orange County Housing Authority) • Outreach and engagement services for chronically homeless individuals • Various free or reduced-cost public services to help improve the quality of life for lower-income households, including senior services and after-school activities for lower-income youths.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City has developed an institutional structure to help identify and access resources to improve the community. For example, the City will work with nonprofit public entities to deliver social services to the community’s most vulnerable populations, such as seniors and households at risk of homelessness. As a supporter of the Orange County Continuum of Care Community Forum, the City will provide critical information to the County of Orange to prepare the County’s Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance grant applications. Buena Park will provide vital resources to support the County’s system of care.
Finally, the City will continue to assist the Orange County Housing Authority in implementing its Five- year Public Housing Authority (PHA) Plan.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City of Buena Park does not operate public housing. The Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) provides rental assistance in the community. Federal legislation requires that the Housing Authority prepare five-year and one-year plans that identify its mission, goals, and objectives related to public and assisted housing programs. The City will review the Authority’s plans and provide OCHA the opportunity to review and consult with the City regarding its Consolidated Plan. This cross-consultation aims to provide consistent and coordinated housing services for City residents. Buena Park has also developed positive working relationships with private and nonprofit housing developers. Finally, ongoing consultation with local nonprofits helps the City coordinate the efficient and effective use of limited federal resources.
Resiliency: The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires the State of California and local governments to prepare mitigation plans to document their hazard mitigation planning process and to identify hazards, potential losses, mitigation needs, goals, and strategies. Each state and local government must have a federally approved mitigation plan to be eligible for hazard mitigation grant funding. The updated mitigation plan for Buena Park has been reviewed and approved by the State's Office of Emergency
2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
33 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Draft 03/22/24 Services and FEMA and adopted by the City Council in December 2022.
The long-term benefits of mitigation planning include the following:
• A greater understanding of hazards faced by our community • Use of limited resources on hazards posing the greatest threat to our community • Financial savings through partnerships for planning and mitigation • Reduced long-term impacts and damages to human health and structures and lower repair costs • More sustainable, disaster-resistant communities
All General Plan updates are subject to extensive community input, including lower-income residents.
Discussion:
HUD-funded grant recipients must not discriminate in housing or services directly or indirectly based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, familial status, or disability. Grant recipients such as Buena Park are required to: (1) examine and attempt to alleviate housing discrimination within their jurisdiction; (2) promote fair housing choices for all persons; (3) provide opportunities for all persons to reside in any given housing development, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, and other personal or familial attributes; (4) promote housing that is accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities; (5) and comply with the non-discrimination requirements of the Fair Housing Act. HUD encourages jurisdictions to consult with one another and initiate metropolitan- wide area fair housing planning. The Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice is the primary document for this purpose. In addition to identifying impediments, a strategy to overcome barriers must be developed and implemented - accomplishments are reported annually. The City participated in developing a countywide AI, which the City Council adopted in May 2020. A summary of impediments to fair housing and the action steps the City will take during FY 2024-2025 are found in Attachment 4.

DISCUSSION
On October 24, 2023, the Buena Park City Council approved the Juneteenth Celebration and provided direction to move forward with necessary preparations. Juneteenth commemorates the day in June 19, 1865, when enslaved African- Americans were freed in Galveston, Texas. The Galveston, Texas event was more than two years later after the Emancipation Proclamation. The name "Juneteenth" references the date of the holiday, combining the words "June" and "nineteenth". Juneteenth became an official federal holiday in 2021. Cities across the country celebrate this holiday, including some in southern California.
On January 16, 2024, staff began meeting monthly with the Juneteenth Celebration Planning Ad Hoc Committee ("Committee"). The committee consists of members of the Cultural Engagement Commission, Community Services Commission, and members of the community. The Committee has provided insights to the holiday and contributed to elements of the event, which will include community partner booths, game & craft areas for children, Black-owned food trucks, a guest speaker, twilight swim, live performances, and a concert by Biscuits and Gravy Live. At the City Council Meeting of March 26, 2024, a budget allocation of $11,210 was approved for the Juneteenth Celebration of Freedom.
The Committee proposes the following for City Council consideration:
