Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Each year, the City of Chula Vista participates (as an entitlement jurisdiction) in the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG). These programs are administered by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and provide funding for a variety of different community development, housing, and public service activities. Regulations governing the CDBG program require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet one of the following three broad national objectives:
1) Benefit people with low- and moderate-incomes; 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; 3) Meet an urgent need (such as earthquake, flood, or hurricane relief).
According to HUD's Consolidated Plan Final Rule, the overall goal of community planning and development programs is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing (DH), a suitable living environment (SL), and expanding economic opportunities (EO) principally for low - and moderate-income persons. In addition to meeting one of the General Objective Categories above, HUD requires that project activities funded with entitlement funds also meet one of the following General Outcome Categories: Availability/Accessibility (1), Affordability (2), or Sustainability (3). Each activity funded will thus have a combination of the Objective and Outcome Category listed in the description (i.e.
DH-2 would be Decent Housing that is Affordable), which allows for measuring accomplishments for each of the Consolidated Plan's five years.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment , the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.
During development of the FY 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan, which forms the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the Strategic Plan and five subsequent Annual Action Plans required by HUD, the following Priority Needs, Program Activities, and related Objectives/Outcomes were established:
Priority 1: Affordable Housing (DH-2) [High Need]- Promote, preserve, and assist in the development of affordable housing for low - and moderate - income residen ts, special needs groups, those at -risk of homelessness, and disproportionately impacted residents. The quantifiable five- year goal is to assist 500 households (100 households annually).

Priority 2: Infrastructure and Facilities (SL -1) [High Need] - Improve and expand infrastructure and facilities that benefit primarily residential low - and moderate-income neighborhoods. The quantifiable five- year goal is to improve 10 public facilities/infrastructure projects to benefit 5,000 low - and moderate-income residents in the eligible areas (2 projects/1,000 annually).
Priority 3: Public Services (SL-1) [High Need]- Provide and improve access to public services for low- and moderate-income persons and those with special needs. Public Services will be funded based on applications received for a variety of services, including, but not limited to: Senior Services, Disabled Services, Youth Services, General Public Services, Homeless Facilities/ Supportive Services, Victims of Domestic Violence Services, Abused and Neg lected Children, Foster Youth, Illiterate Adults, and other special needs. The quantifiable five- year goal is to serve 5,000 people (1,000 people annually).
Priority 4: Economic Development (EO-1) [High Need]- Provide for the economic development needs of low- and moderate-income persons and neighborhood target areas. The quantifiable five- year goal is to assist 5 businesses (1 business annually) and create/retain 50 jobs (10 annually).
Priority 5: Administra tion and Planning (SL -1) [High Need] - Provide for administration and planning activities to develop housing and community development strategies and programs needed to carry out actions that address identified needs in the Consolidated Plan in accordance w ith HUD regulations and provide Fair Housing services for all residents. The quantifiable five- year goal is to assist 600 households (120 households annually).
Priority 6: Address Homelessness (SL-1) [High Need]- Provide for programs to address the need s of the homeless population. The quantifiable five - year goal is to assist 600 households (120 households annually).
Priority 7: Address the COVID 19 Coronavirus Pandemic (SL-1) [High Need]- Provide for programs needed to carry out actions that address identified needs pertaining to the COVID 19 Coronavirus Pandemic. The quantifiable five- year goal is to assist 1,600 households (320 households annually).
3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.
The City’s CDBG funded programs implemented over the last year have aided in solving neighborhood and community problems by provided a funding source for underserved needs. Specifically, the Capital Improvement Projects have given low-income neighborhoods an improved infrastructure system; public services have helped the City's elderly, youth, homeless, at -risk, victims of domestic violence, and other special needs groups; residents have benefitted from Fair Housing and Tenant/Landlord Counseling Services; residents have been provided affordable housing through construction of new housing units and down payment assistance; the housing stock has been sustained through rehabilitation of housing units/lead-based paint t esting and abatement, and code enforcement; and emergency shelter and Annual Action Plan
2022
3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
supportive services have been provided to homeless persons/families and/or those at risk of becoming homeless.
All of these projects and experiences have helped guide the City in choosing the goals and projects for the new Consolidated Plan Cycle. The City will continue the priorities and projects from the previous Consolidated Plan, as there are still unmet needs due to the limited amount of grant funds received each year. It is anticipated that funding received in the next five years will not be sufficient to complete the remaining infrastructure projects needed within the low - and moderate-income areas identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Moreover, affordable hous ing, public services, fair housing and administration are still High priority needs in the community and will therefore receive continued funding. As economic development has somewhat more restrictive regulations attached to it, it will be included in the Consolidated Plan as a High priority need, but it may not be funded with CDBG funds during this cycle. Instead, the City will seek to fund economic development using leveraged resources and will consider CDBG funding should funds become available.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan.
In accordance with the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan, the City facilitated citizen participation through surveys, community meet ings and public hearings. Efforts in FY 2022 -2023 were made to encourage participation by low - and moderate -income persons, particularly those living in slum and blighted areas and in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The City also made efforts to encourage the participation of minorities and non-English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities.
Further description of the consultation and citizen participation efforts can be found in the Appendix.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1. Introduction
The City of Chula Vista consulted with key City departments in the development of the FY 2022-2023 One- Year Action Plan including: Building; Planning; Code Enforcement; Community Services; and Public Works.
Information was also collected from other public and quasi-public agencies, during the Consolidated Plan Process which included the Housing Authority and several local Public Service Agencies. Copies of the draft One-Year Action Plan were available during the 30-day public review of the One-Year Action Plan.
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))
In preparing the FY 2022-2023 One-Year Action Plan, the City incorporated the information contained in the Consolidated Plan needs assessment. This included a wide range of service providers who were contacted to compile information on community needs. Agencies rep resenting persons with HIV/AIDS, homeless persons, low -income youth, persons with disabilities, elderly persons, and persons with alcohol/substance abuse problems were contacted. Specifically, consultation efforts included contacting the following agencies:
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.
A Continuum of Care (CoC) is an integrated system of care that guides and tracks homeless individuals and families through a comprehensive array of housing and services designed to prevent and end homelessness. A CoC must have community plan to organize and deliver housing and services to meet the specific needs of people who are homeless as they move to stable housing and maximize self-sufficiency.
That plan should include action steps to end homelessness and prevent a return to homelessness. HUD identifies four necessary parts of a continuum:
1. Outreach, intake, and assessment
2. Emergency shelter
3. Transitional housing with supportive services
4. Permanent & permanent supportive housing with services if needed
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Ca re that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate 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 As stated above, the City coordinates with the San Diego Regional Continuum of Care Council and other public and private organizations within the Continuum of Care that serve Chula Vista. Staff from various departments will continue to work together with the COC to develop performance standards that provide a measure to evaluate each ESG subrecipients effectiveness, such as how well the service provider succeeded at 1) targeting those who need the assistance most; 2) reducing the number of people living on the streets or emergency shelters; 3) shortening the time people spend homeless; and 4) reducing each program participant housing barriers or housing stability risks. These performance standards will be incorporated into the City Subre cipient Agreements, and to the extent possible, will be tracked and measured in HMIS.

Expected Resources

Introduction
The City of Chula Vista is a CDBG, HOME, and ESG Entitlement jurisdiction and anticipates receiving $2,297,295 in CDBG funds, $909,552 in HOME funds, and $199,926 in ESG funds from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) during FY 2022 -23. The City anticipates receiving similar amounts of HUD funds annually during the five - year period beginning July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2025, resulting in approximately $12,000,000 of CDBG funds, $5,000,000 of HOME funds, and $1,000,000 of ESG funds during the Consolidated Planni ng period. Program income is generated from loan payoffs and is difficult to estimate; however, based on historical amounts receipted each year, the City anticipates approximately $100,000 annually for a total of approximately $500,000 of additional resources during the Consolidated Plan period. For FY 2022-23, the city will also continue to administer the one-time allocations of CARES Act funding to address the COVID 19 Coronavirus Pandemic in the amount of $3,483,637 of CDBG-CV (rounds 1 and 3) and $4,953,937 of ESG-CV (rounds 1 and 2). Program income received from the repayment of rehabilitation loans (CDBG and HOME), First -Time Homebuyer loans, and residual receipt payments will be automatically re - programmed for loan activities in those same or similar programs from which the fund s were originally provided to the greatest extent possible.
If additional program income funds are received that are not automatically reprogrammed, specific projects will be identified during the mid-year re-allocation process or Annual Action Plan.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City of Chula Vista has successfully leveraged funds from federal, state, local and private resources to complete several Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and affordable housing developments in the City’s low - income communities. The most recent CIP project with leveraged funds is the Third Avenue Streetscape Project. The most recen t affordable housing development with leveraged funds, Lofts on Landis, completed in January 2016. This development used LIHTC, private financing to construct 33 affordable units. In addition, the leveraged funding from private and non-federal public sources are as follows:

needs
For FY 2022-2023, CDBG funds have been allocated to projects that contribute to achieving the priority needs and goals established by the 5-Year Strategic Plan. The projects are consistent with the citizen input received during the development of the Consolidated Plan.
One of the greatest challenges in meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income persons is having limited financial resources. The City will continue to use CDBG funding to support public service agencies that address the special needs of the underserve d, including the elderly and frail elderly and persons belonging to protected classes that have been the victims of housing discrimination.
The City also proactively seeks additional resources to better meet the underserved needs.
The City has a detailed l ist of approved Capital Improvement Projects that demonstrate a general public need but, due to the loss of redevelopment, funding is scarce. Federal funds are used to serve the target community, meet the established goals for these funds, and to serve the greatest number of members of the community. The City will use its existing HOME Investment Partnership funds to provide First Time Homebuyer assistance, Acquisition and Rehabilitation of existing housing stock for affordable housing, preservation of affo rdable housing, and new construction of affordable housing.
For public services, the City utilizes CDBG funds. CDBG regulations, limit the amount the City can spend on public services and is capped at 15% of the City's annual entitlement . The City provi des funding to non-profit organizations that demonstrate an ability to provide needed services that directly benefit the residents of the Chula Vista. The use of the City of Chula Vista CDBG funds for public services enables non- profit organization and City Departments to leverage these funds with other funding sources for projects and activities that serve the greatest number of residents with the limited amount of funding.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Geographic distribution of funding is based on the nature of the activity to be funded. The City intends to fund activities in areas most directly impacted by the needs of low - and moderate-income residents and those with other special needs. Approximately 15 percent of the City’s CDBG allocation will be provided for public service activities, which a re provided to low - and moderate-income residents throughout the community. An additional 20 percent will be allocated to Administration and Planning and CSA. The remaining 65 percent, and any unexpended funds from the prior year will be designated for Pub lic Facilities and Infrastructure Projects administered by the Public Works Department which take place in the primarily residential low- and moderate-income areas. As previously stated, the assignment of priority levels is primarily a result of input from public and private agencies responding to the City's Housing and Community Development Needs Survey, consultation interviews, and statistical data compiled from the Needs Assessment. Only eligible activities that received a High priority level in the Consolidated Plan, will be funded during the next five years.

Introduction
The City of Chula Vista does not operate a public housing agency. The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) serves as the City’s public housing agency for the four Public Housing projects located in the City of Chula Vista.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The City of Chula Vista consults with the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego concerning consideration of the local public housing agency (PHA) needs and planned program activ ities. The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) operates four conventional public housing developments in Chula Vista, with a total of 121 units. They are all managed by Terrantino Property Management and were recently upgraded to meet A DA and Section 504 compliance. These public housing units include:
1. Dorothy Street Manor- 22 low- income family units
2. Melrose Manor- 24 low- income family units
3. Town Centre Manor- 59 low- income senior/disabled units
4. L Street Manor- 16 low- income family units
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The City encourages public housing residents to participate in policy, procedure and program implementation and development through i ts Housing Advisory Committee (HAC). The HAC is an appointed Board representing Chula Vista residents including public housing and elderly residents. The HAC serves as an organized spokesperson to participate and provide feedback on housing issues and housing development projects. Public housing residents are encouraged to participate in homeownership programs.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
As noted, one of the Con Plan goals calls for "assisting individuals and families to stabilize in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis or homelessness, by providing client-appropriate housing and support services." Actions undertaken to achieve this goal include the allocation of ESG and CDBG funds totaling to assist homeless households via the Interfaith Rotational Shelter, Casa Nueva Vida Transitional Shelter, the Hotel/Motel Voucher Program, the Tenant -based Rental Assistance Program and the new Homeless Bridge Shelter.
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
In addition to the 1-year goals specified in the AP-20 Homelessness Goal, the City continues to participate as a member in the RTFH and its Coordinated Entry System which has become an umbrella for local efforts. The RTFH built a regional system for coordinated assessment. The RTFH received guidance from HUD Technical Assistance and established the Coordinated Entry System (CES), a region -wide system to assess and place homeless individuals and families in housing, which ensures compliance with the HEARTH Act. CES uses a coordinated assessment tool to determine a homeless person’s level and type of need and match the person to an appropriate housing resource.
The city partners with the Alpha Project to work alongside our Homeless Outreach Team. The team is equipped with a PERT clinician, a social worker from the Health and Human Services Agency and other social service organizations to conduc t routine outreach efforts throughout the city, particularly along encampments.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons City is committed to increasing resources to help homeless persons. While many efforts are focused on the USICH Housing First Model, helping homeless individuals and families quickly and easily access and sustain permanent housing, emergency and transitional housing programs are also receiving benefit from these resources too.
The new Bridge Sh elters will serve approximately 60 persons daily in providing for not only a safe, and stable shelter environment, but direct connection to housing navigation staff at each shelter, whose main focus is to rapidly rehouse shelter residents into permanent housing or other long-term housing options, depending on their vulnerability assessment, and CES housing resource match opportunities. Shelter residents work with Housing Navigators in a stable environment, while also having access to a multitude

of resource s, for assistance with documentation, meeting medical and mental health needs, benefit eligibility, etc.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompan ied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units , and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
the City subcontracts with local providers to assist families and individuals in short-term housing programs to move to permanent housing via the Rapid Re -Housing intervention. The goals of the program are to help clients to move quickly from homelessness to stably housed. This program provides households with security and utility deposits, and short or medium -term rental assistance. Clients receive case management targeted to housing stability.
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 (suc h 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.
Aside from the City's Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program, the city utilizes Project One for All (POFA) which is a county initiative that provides full wrap -around services for homeless persons with serious mental illness, including individuals who are exiting from mental health facilities. The County of San Diego partners with Housing Authorities, non-profits, health clinics, and housing developers to provide stability to homeless persons with mental illness.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
Public policies directly and indirectly impact affordable housing development and residential investment; both positively and negatively. Providing for a range of housing typ es and prices allows residents of all ages and incomes the opportunity to find adequate housing that meets their needs and ability to pay; however, there are often barriers that prevent residents finding decent affordable housing. Barriers to the development of affordable housing occur at all three levels of government, as well as in the private market and within the community. Local government cannot control many factors that tend to restrict housing supply especially those that relate to regional, nation al, and international economy. However, they do have control over several policies, which are examined in the City's Housing Element.
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 of Chula Vista works to remove barriers to afforda ble housing while still protecting the health and safety of its residents by taking actions to reduce costs or providing off-setting financing incentives to assist in the production of safe, high quality, affordable housing. To mitigate the impacts of these barriers the City may:
Apply for State and federal funding to gap finance affordable housing production and rehabilitation of existing affordable housing stock.
Continue to streamline the environmental review process for housing developments, using available state categorical exemptions and federal categorical exclusions, when applicable. Provide training
opportunities in the area of CEQA and NEPA as needed so staff gains expertise in the preparation of environmental review documents.
Continue to improve the permit processing and planning approval processes to minimize delay in housing development in general and affordable housing development in particular. Continue providing rehabilitation assistance and homeownership assistance, and to assist in the construction and preservation of affordable housing.
Encourage public participation when a proposed project is being considered for approval. Implement policies and strategies identified in the 2021-2029 Housing Element.
The City works to remove barriers to affordable housing by implementing a Housing Element that is consistent with California law and taking actions to reduce costs or provide off-setting incentives to assist in the production of safe, high -quality, affordable housing. The City is committed to removing governmental constraints that hinder the production of housing, as evidenced by the numerous

affordable housing developments that have occurred over the last few years.
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resour ces for affordable housing, the City will invest HOME to promote home ownership opportunities and the preservation of existing affordable housing units over the next five years. Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds, the City will continue to leverage its HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources. New transit - oriented development strategies and the massive investments in the Streets and other areas of community development should also attra ct investors and developers. This strategy will increase the supply of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing in the City. The City will also contract with CSA to address any impediments to Fair Housing Choice.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
HUD requires that cities receiving block grant funds take actions to affirmatively further fair housing choice. Fair housing choice is achieved by ensuring that persons are not denied housing oppor tunity because of their race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, or familial status (family with children). Cities report on the progress of affirmatively furthering fair house choice by completing an Analysis of Impediments (AI). The AI is a review of t he nature and extent of impediments to fair housing choice in the San Diego County and the City of Chula Vista. The last two AIs have been produced in collaboration with the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing (SDRAFH), formerly known as the Fair Housing Resources Board (FHRB). The SDRAFH is a dedicated group of professionals who work together to ensure that all residents in San Diego County have equal access to housing. It is comprised of members of the fair housing community, local jurisdictions, enforcement agencies and housing providers. This group leverages the region’s CDBG funds to produce the AI for the region. The SD RAFH completed an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) for the period of 2010 through 2015. The City of Chula Vista is an active member of the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing and serves as the member of the Steering Committee.
The City of Chula Vista affirmatively furthers fair housing by contracting for the provision of fair housing services and cond ucting fair housing testing to detect any fair housing violations. The services include education and outreach to residents and housing providers, assistance with submitting fair housing complaints to HUD, legal services, and tenant/landlord mediation Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacle in meeting the underserved needs is the continued lack of available funding for community development and housing activities, including public services and other programs. G iven the federal budget and drastic state budget cuts, local jurisdictions like Chula Vista and the County of San Diego, are being forced to cut social service programs. In Southern California, the continued high cost of living, housing costs for both rent al and ownership, and the reduction of funds all combine to create a major obstacle in providing affordable housing that is truly affordable. The City is eager to work more closely with social service providers in order to combine efforts to ensure that the available federal-funds are being used in the most effective way possible. The Chula Vista Community Collaborate continues to hold its City quarterly social service provider meetings in Chula Vista to facilitate networking for solutions to the underserved needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City has two programs to foster and maintain affordable housing; the Balanced Communities Policy and the affordable housing inspection program. The Balanced Communities Policy fosters the development of affordable housing in that it requires all developers of new for-sale housing units to either provide 10% of those units at affordable prices or pay a housing in -lieu fee to the City. The Developers also have the option of building affordable rental housing. The City’s inspection program ensures that the
Annual Action Plan
2022
56 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
City’s 2,000+ units of affordable rental housing are maintained in a clean and safe condition and that the incomes of those families living in the different sections of the City have been verified as meeting the limits required by the funding source that help build the units.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City will continue to inform residents applying for loans or grants through its First -Time Homebuyer Program an d Rehabilitation program about the hazards of lead -based paint. Code Enforcement and building inspectors will continue to identify lead-based paint hazards as part of their ongoing activities, if the scope of the complaint allows them into the unit, or if it is part of an on -going investigation. CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs require compliance with all of HUD’s regulations concerning lead-based paint.
All housing programs operated by the City are in compliance with HUD’s most recent standards regarding lead-based paint. Specifically:
The City’s First-Time Homebuyer Program, lead abatement disclosure is the responsibility of the seller, and the City will not participate in any homebuyer assistance if the seller refuses to abate known lead hazards. Each homebuyer is required to obtain an independent third-party inspection report.
The City’s Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program meets the federal requirements for providing lead-based paint information with each rehabilitation loan and requiring paint testing of disturbed surfaces for lead in all single-family homes constructed before 1978. If a home was found to have lead-based paint, the cost of lead-based paint removal is an eligible activity under the homeowner rehabilitation program. City building inspectors a re alerted to any housing units that apply for a permit for construction or remodeling, which may contain lead -based paint and other lead hazards.
The City of Chula Vista will work closely, if needed, with the County of San Diego’s Childhood Lead Poising P revention Program (CLPPP), a division of the San Diego Health and Human Services Agency. The CLPPP provides outreach and education programs and case management services for San Diego County residents, including Chula Vista residents. City’s Acquisition Reh abilitation Program and Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program guidelines describe the level of abatement that is needed if lead hazards are present.
Lead Based Paint Requirements Affordable Housing Developers Each Developer of Affordable rental housing must ensure that all housing constructed, redeveloped, rehabilitated, or acquired with HOME and or CDBG funds must comply with applicable provisions of Lead -Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. 4821 –4846), the Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 4851 –4856), and implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 35, subparts A, B, J, K, M and R upon completion of the development.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families As previously stated, the City’s antipoverty strategy of providing safe, affordable housing will assist in
Annual Action Plan
2022
57 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
reducing the number of poverty level families in Chula Vista based on the following. By providing safe, affordable housing for those on a limited income, those families will be able to live in an environment were no more than 30% of their limited income is spent on housing. In addition, Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funding requires affordable housing developments provide programs (e.g. after school, computer labs, budgeting a nd language classes) to assist residents in excelling in both school and the work environment. These affordable housing developments thus assist families in moving up the economic ladder by providing the tools that add in their success. LIHTC continues to be the most important source for leveraging the City’s HOME, and CDBG funds for affordable housing development projects. The City is also researching using CDBG funds for economic development during this Consolidated Plan period and will continue to seek funding opportunities including HUD’s Economic Development Partnerships.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of Chula Vista is a member of two key organizations which rely heavily on public and private coordination in the region to address the needs of the low-income community members. The Chula Vista Community Collaborative is collaboration among partners and stakeholders in Chula Vista which include; Residents and Parents; Schools and School District Staff; Social Service/Non -profit Agencies; Local Government; Faith -based Community; Health Professionals; and, Business Owners. Together, the Collaborative works to develop coordinated strategies and systems that protect the health, safety, and wellness of its residents as well as share information and resources that strengthen families and communities. Regular meetings are held with the goal of obtaining and sharing information about services, resources, employment and training opportunities, as well as any events accessible to the Chula Vista community. The meetings are a useful venue to network and efficiently coordinate activities with partnering agencies. The City of Chula Vista is also a member of the South Bay Homeless Advocacy Coalition which was formed to address the growing conc ern for homelessness and the lack of resources available. The goal is to educate the community on these issues and advocate for change to better serve homeless and near homeless families and individuals in our community. The Coalition is comprised of representatives from local government agencies, the school districts, social service agencies, faith-based organizations and citizens. Although the City of Chula Vista administers the CDBG, ESG, and HOME programs, the City does engage in contracts with outside agencies for the delivery of services to the public, other than the required fair housing services and funding requests received from City Departments. Non- profits apply for public service funds, capital improvement, and creation of affordable housing. The City monitors the affordable housing programs for all properties in its portfolio including those owned by private parties, under a deed restriction between the City and the respective party. The City has developed a strong relationship with both affordab le and for-profit housing developers in not only the creation of affordable units but the ongoing maintenance of the developments as well.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
Non-profit soc ial service agencies continue to play an important role in serving the needs of low -and

moderate-income residents in Chula Vista. There is a 15% cap on the amount of public service funds to be used from its CDBG Allocation. The City surveyed social service providers who serve Chula Vista during the needs assessment process and will continue to attend the Chula Vista Community Collaborative meetings to foster networking among the providers.
Discussion:
In the implementation of the FY 2022 -2023 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG, HOME, ESG funds, and other resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead -based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty -level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. The City will continue to coordinate the housing strategy with local and regional transportation planning strategies to ensure to the extent practicable that residents of affordable housing have access to public transportation.
