The City issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for FY 2025-2026 CDBG funding. Fifty agencies received notification of the NOFA and seven non-profit agencies attended a mandatory information meeting, which was held on three different days for applicant's convenience. Six agencies submitted applications for funding totaling $158,293. Six grants were awarded using FY 2025-2026 funds totaling $126,440. However, the funding
Page |2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
levels may be adjusted based on the actual allocation of CDBG funding and the City's Contingency Plan (Appendix A). The CDBG funds awarded to the agencies will leverage other private, state, and local funds received by the agencies and non-profits.
The City will continue to fund the Temporary Homes Acquisition project in FY 2025-2026. New funds will be combined with prior year unallocated funds and FY 2024-2025 funds to acquire between two and six prefabricated homes to be used as shelter for the homeless in Camarillo. This investment will be leveraged by situating the structures on City-owned property. This project is in the planning stages and changes may be made as new information becomes available.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
Land owned by the City will be used to place the Temporary Homes Acquisition project to provide temporary housing for the homeless. The City does not currently own any other land or property which may be used to address the needs identified in the plan.

Table AP-4: Project Summary
Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
During the preparation of the FY 2025-2029 Regional Consolidated Plan, six regional goals were identified to meet high priority needs in the region:
• Development of New Affordable Housing
City of Camarillo FY 2025 Annual Action Plan - 14
• Housing Rehabilitation
• Housing Services
• Housing Stability
• Homelessness
• Supportive Services
• Fair Housing Services
• Effective Administration
While Ventura County and the cities of Camarillo, Oxnard, San Buenaventura (Ventura), Simi Valley, and Thousand Oaks engaged in a coordinated planning process, each jurisdiction is responsible for allocating its own resources across these goals. CDBG-funded activities to be undertaken in FY 2025-2026 will be available city-wide. The City believes this is the most effective way to address the needs of the low- and moderate-income residents.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed.
Areas of low-income and minority concentration are identified earlier sections of this Con Plan. The City of Camarillo provides services to residents who reside within its own borders. The City is committed to funding programs with CDBG funds that have a strong emphasis on addressing the needs of its low- and moderate-income residents throughout the community. Services will not be directed to any specific geographic areas of entitlement.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Camarillo has a diversity of neighborhoods within the community and minority residents are not concentrated within any specific area of the City. The City also has no geographic concentrations of low-income residents when compared to the County. CDBG assistance will be available city-wide and will not be directed to any particular geographic area during the five-year Regional Consolidated Plan period (FY 2025-2029).

City of Camarillo FY 2025 Annual Action Plan - 16
AP-75 Action Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.220(j) Introduction
The City of Camarillo works to remove barriers to affordable housing through the programs and projects discussed below.
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 makes efforts to ameliorate the barriers presented by public policies to help create an atmosphere which fosters the development of affordable housing. However, some public policies are beyond the scope of the City's authority. Barriers related to the public policies on the protection of the environment, the availability of water, and appropriate infrastructure can also be constraints to affordable housing, as can land cost and construction costs.
The City's zoning is consistent with the General Plan. The City's 2021-2029 Housing Element includes a program which provides affordable housing development by-right as well as other programs designed to encourage the development of affordable housing. Adequate sites with appropriate densities have been identified for 1,376 housing units as required by the 2021-2029 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). The City has also considered the cumulative impacts of its land use controls upon the cost and supply of housing, including the ability to achieve maximum density.
The City allows exceptions or concessions to the development standards in exchange for affordable housing, density bonus incentives in exchange for affordable housing components in proposed developments and has streamlined components of the entitlement process such as encouragement of pre-application meetings and simultaneous processing of entitlements to minimize the burdens and costs to the developer. These exceptions or concessions include reduced setbacks and reduced parking requirements, which allow the developer to achieve higher densities and therefore build more housing supply; and reduce the unrecoverable costs of parking construction and smaller building footprints associated with setbacks.
Recent examples of innovative affordable housing projects include:
• Waivers of recreational vehicle parking limits in exchange for an affordable housing commitment in three rental projects.
• Andorra Apartments which were completed in 2018;
• Camarillo Village Homes and Camino Ruiz which are currently in construction; and • Vista Campanario is currently under construction.
• Waivers of required rear yard setbacks and increase in allowable building coverage were granted to Lustra Development in exchange for an affordable housing commitment. This City of Camarillo FY 2025 Annual Action Plan - 17
project is in the design phase.
Discussion
See discussion above.
City of Camarillo FY 2025 Annual Action Plan - 18
AP-85 Other Actions - 91.220(k)
Introduction
Priority Needs established in the FY 2025-2029 Regional Consolidated Plan, which form the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the Camarillo FY 2025-2026 Action Plan, are as follows:
High Priority
• Development of New Affordable Housing
• Housing Rehabilitation
• Housing Services
• Housing Stability
• Homelessness
• Supportive Services
• Fair Housing Services
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs.
The lack of funding is the primary obstacle to meeting underserved needs. The City is allocating 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG funds to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people or people presumed under HUD regulations to be low- and moderate- income. These projects and activities will benefit seniors, the homeless, the disabled living with food insecurity, and low-and moderate-income homeowners.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing.
The Ventura County HOME Consortium, which took effect in FY 2020-2021, is a partnership of the County of Ventura and Cities of Camarillo, Simi Valley, and Thousand Oaks. Through the creation of a local Consortium, these communities were able to drastically increase the amount of HOME Investment Partnerships Program funding dedicated to affordable housing in our community.
Through this partnership, the County and participating cities hope to spur new affordable housing development within the HOME Consortium area.
The City of Camarillo currently has over 1,000 subsidized affordable rental units, and 120 affordable for-sale units. An additional 37 affordable ownership units are under construction as well as 99 affordable rental units. This extensive portfolio of affordable housing was developed by the City, private developers, and the Area Housing Authority of the County of Ventura (AHACV) and provides significant benefit to the low- and moderate-income community. The availability of these units increases housing stability, reduces overcrowding, which can be a significant negative outcome when there is insufficient affordable housing for the need, and prevents homelessness. AHACV operates the Housing Choice Voucher program in the City. As of November 30, 2024, 535 Camarillo households are being assisted with Vouchers which allow them to rent housing on the open market City of Camarillo FY 2025 Annual Action Plan - 19
at affordable rates. This represents 23.6% of Vouchers used County-wide.
A new affordable housing development, Vista Campanario, is being developed in the City by AHACV.
This project will be funded by a loan from the City to AHACV, $4,519,217.95 in CDC Housing Bonds, and $380,782.05 in funds from the Low Mod Income Housing Asset Fund. It will have a total of 59 units of affordable housing: 15 units for extremely low-income, 21 units for very low income, and 23 units for low-income. 14 of the units will be prioritized for veterans with special needs.
The City intends to use FY 2025-2026 CDBG funds to foster affordable housing through the following programs:
• Home Repair Program ($50,000 in CDBG Funds) - Habitat for Humanity • Temporary Homes Acquisition Program ($313, 143.88 in CDBG Funds) - City of Camarillo The City also received $693,293 in Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds which will continue to be used to foster affordable housing through a first-time homebuyer program in FY 2025- 2026. The City has applied for an additional $88,939 in PLHA funding to continue the program. The City developed this revolving loan program to bring homeownership within reach for low- and moderate-income Camarillo residents.
In FY 2024-2025, the City implemented a new project - the Temporary Homes Acquisition Project.
The City intends to use FY 2025-2026 CDBG funds to continue this project of acquiring homes to be situated on land owned by the City to be used as temporary housing for the homeless.
Since most new housing in Camarillo is developed privately, the City works with developers to encourage affordable housing to be incorporated into market rate developments. In addition, the City offers increases in density to developers who include affordable housing. The City has also partnered with for-profit developers in building affordable housing as noted earlier in this Action Plan.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards.
The City of Camarillo has over 25,000 residential properties. Of these residences, approximately 13,000 were constructed prior to 1978, and approximately 139 were constructed prior to 1940. In 1978, stringent limits on the use of lead-based paint in residential construction were implemented.
In spite of this, lead poisoning remains a serious problem, especially in areas which have a concentration of older homes. According to HUD's 1991 report to the U.S. Congress, an estimated 80% of housing built between 1940 and 1959, and 90 percent of housing built prior to 1940 contains lead-based paint. Housing units built prior to 1978 may have interior or exterior building components coated with lead-based paint. Housing units built before 1970 are the most likely to need rehabilitation and to have lead-based paint in deteriorated condition. Lead-based paint becomes hazardous to children under age six and to pregnant women when it peels off walls or is pulverized by windows.
In FY 2025-2026, the City has allocated funding to Habitat for Humanity's Home Repair program for the rehabilitation of two homes. Prior to rehabilitating any pre-1978 dwelling which has the potential City of Camarillo FY 2025 Annual Action Plan - 20
to disturb paint, Habitat for Humanity investigates the structure for the presence of lead-based paint. If lead-based paint is identified, the appropriate lead-safe work practices are employed, and clearance testing is undertaken to ensure no dangerous residue remains. The City will continue to educate residents on the hazards of lead-based paint and utilize lead-safe practices in the provision of the residential rehabilitation program.
The City ensures homeowners, tenants, landlord, and contractors understand the dangers of lead- based paint by making the "Contractors Lead Safety During Renovations" hand out available in the City Hall lobby. Information on the dangers of lead-based paint is also provided to homeowners participating in the City's CDBG-funded residential rehabilitation program.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families.
Camarillo's anti-poverty strategy is to support multiple efforts that ensure that residents are housed and fed and have the ability to obtain gainful employment. This is achieved by support from local churches that make sure that local families are fed as well as the Continuum of Care that provides food and support services to bring families and individuals out of poverty. These actions will continue during FY 2025-2026 and will result in reduced numbers of families in crisis.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure.
The City of Camarillo Community Development Department encourages cooperation among the various City departments and outside agencies, both public and non-profit, in delivering housing and public service programs.
Camarillo has a strong network of support agencies to carry out the Continuum of Care, provide the public services needed to assist the low-income population, including the homeless, those with special needs, seniors, and families. Organizations such as the Homeless and Housing Coalition perform the annual homeless census, and in recent years local churches began taking on the role of feeding the homeless and those on the edge of poverty. In coming years, as federal, state, and local resources decrease, the need for agencies working on social and housing issues to attain a greater capacity will increase. The City will continue to support these efforts in FY 2025-2026.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.
During FY 2025-2026, Camarillo will continue to participate in housing and community development forums, discussions and one-on-one contact with citizens, public groups and surrounding communities. Part of this is making sure that Camarillo continues to do what we have done well, and part is examining ways that Camarillo can proactively guide the resolution of shared community action activities.
The City recently reached out to the Area Housing Authority of the County of Ventura to see how the City could facilitate the use of Section 8 vouchers in Camarillo. Also, in FY 2021-2022 the City of Camarillo joined the Ventura County HOME Consortium. The City anticipates that this partnership will bring additional and more consistent affordable housing resources to the City, increase City of Camarillo FY 2025 Annual Action Plan - 21
collaboration and planning for affordable housing in the county, and allow projects located in the City of Camarillo to compete for HOME funding at the local level.

CONTINGENCY STRATEGY TO ADDRESS
THE LATE RELEASE OF 2025-2026 CDBG ENTITLEMENT FUNDING ALLOCATIONS The City of Camarillo (City) is an Entitlement Grantee for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Due to delay in the adoption of the federal budget, HUD may not announce the City's actual FY 2025-2026 CDBG Entitlement allocation (allocation) until later than normal. HUD has provided guidance in CPD Notice 25-02 (Notice) on how to address this and other related impacts to the City's CDBG program. Per the options provided in the Notice, the City plans to:
• Develop the FY 2025-2026 Draft Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) using estimated CDBG allocations, including conducting the public participation plan process and holding the public hearing before the City Council for adoption of the Action Plan; and • Delay the formal submission of the Action Plan in HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) until the actual FY 2025-2026 CDBG allocations have been announced by HUD, but in no case later than August 16, 2025; and • Include this Contingency Plan as an attachment to the Action Plan outlining the funding revisions to be undertaken if the FY 2025-2026 CDBG allocation is less or greater than the estimates used during the development of the Action Plan.
