SUMMARY
As a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) Entitlement Community, the City of Chula Vista (“the City”) receives funds annually aimed to fund diverse programs and services to enhance the quality of life for Chula Vist a’s most vulnerable populations. As a recipient of these funds, the City is required to develop and submit a 5-Year Consolidated Plan (“Con Plan”) for use of the funds describing the housing and community development needs of the City’s low/moderate-income residents and outlining the strategies to address those needs. In addition, the City must develop and submit an Annual Action Plan (“Action Plan”) for each of the five years of the Con Plan.
P a g e | 2
This Public Hearing will provide the community with an overview and an opportunity to provide input on the goals and funding priorities detailed in the 2025-2029 Five-Year Con Plan and the 2025 -2026 Annual Action Plan.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Input was solicited from the Housing and Homelessness Advisory Commission (HHAC) during their February 24, 2025 meeting. Comments received from HHAC are incorporated into the priorities of the 5 -Year Consolidated Plan.
DISCUSSION
As an entitlement community with HUD, the City receives annual funding under three entitlement block grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”), HOME Investment Partnerships Act (“HOME”), and Emergency Solutions Grant (“ESG”). The grant amounts allocated to each jurisdiction are determined using a formula based on statistical and demographic data. The purpose of this funding is to provide housing, a suitable living environment, and to expand economic opportunities principally for low - and moderate- income persons.
As a recipient of these funds, the City is required to prepare a five-year Con Plan describing the housing and community development needs of the City’s low/moderate -income residents and outlining strategies to address those needs over a five -year period. The Con Plan provides the necessary policy guidance for implementation of programs and services to be funded, as further detailed in the Action Plan submitted to HUD, as the formal funding application for the respective program year.
This item is inclusive of both the draft 2025-2029 Con Plan, as well as the draft fiscal year 2025-2026 Action Plan, which can be found on the City’s HUD Grants website. Attachment 1 to this staff report provides the summary of proposed funding recommendations from the 2025-2026 Action Plan.
Citizen Participation through Planning Process
Community Meetings
Engaging residents and community members in defining and understanding the current housing and community development needs while prioritizing resources to address these needs is a key component of the development of the Con Plan. The City is required by HU D to gather input from its residents, including P a g e | 3
minorities, non -English-speaking persons, low/moderate -income residents, persons with disabilities, advocates for seniors, illiterate persons, and unhoused persons, whom the grant programs are designed to serve. Public input received is used to establish the strategies and funding priorities previously described.
Citizen participation has been encouraged using the City’s new public engagement software, Community Voices. A Community Voices webpage for the Con P lan was published in December 2024. This site detailed all public meetings for Con Plan Development and hosted the community needs survey that was open from December 20, 2024 to February 28, 2025.
City staff also held a series of four public input meetings, one in each Council District, that allowed residents to participate directly with staff and provide their input on funding priorities. Staff advertised these meetings and the survey on social media, in the City’s newsletter and announced development of the Con Plan at meetings of the Chula Vista Community Collaborative and provided fliers and links to the Community Voices webpage to community partner organizations and representatives of traditionally difficult to reach populations. Meetings were also ann ounced via several news outlets. A February 4 th City Council public hearing and this public hearing are an additional avenue for the community to engage in the prioritization of the grant funds. A list of community input opportunities that the City hosted is summarized in Table 1.

Feedback received in the community input meetings largely focused on public services, with residents expressing greater need for senior and youth services under this category. This differs from the previous Con Plan period during which residents prioritized homeless services. In each meeting residents stressed the need for jobs creation and economic development, which largely reflects the results of the survey detailed below. Additionally, a ttendees of the community input meetings consistently mentioned the need for sidewalks in portions of the City’s west side where they are missing. Participants also indicated increased need for potential HOME funded programs like rental assistance programs and construction of affordable housing. Funding priorities determined through citizen participation will be incorporated in the Con Plan through goals and outcomes that will be established and brought back to City Council for approval before final submission to HUD.
Survey Results
The community needs survey provided the public with the opportunity to weigh in on a variety of programs and projects that would benefit families and communities in Chula Vista. In total, 169 residents participated in the community needs survey. While up to 91% of the responses were submitted by community residents, we also heard from local businesses and social service providers.
P a g e | 4
Respondents were given priority options that fit within th e HUD -eligible funding categories including:
Services for Special Needs , Public Facilities , Public Services for Low Income , Infrastructure, Facilities, Services for Homeless, Affordable Housing, and Economic Development.
While the responses , displayed in F igure 1, were similar to those received in 20 20, there was significant increase in Economic Development needs, with this category ranking second in highest priority . Affordable Housing also increased in priority, ranking first. Each of the priority categor ies included specific activities and programs that would address the respective needs. Based on those results, the funding priorities for the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan were established (detailed below). Survey results were markedly similar to feedback received in the community meetings.
Figure 1: HUD Funding Categories Identified Priorities
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan
The Con Plan also utilizes qualitative and quantitative data gathered through citizen participation, market analysis, and the community needs survey to identify the highest priority needs in which to direct entitlement dollars.
The Con Plan contains a Needs Assessment and Market Analysis that provide insight into the different levels of need within the community and the market i n which grant -funded programs will be implemented. The Needs Assessment incorporates national data from the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates and Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, in addition to specific local data. B ased on this data and input from citizen participation, the Strategic Plan identifies the City’s priority needs, including the rationale for establishing allocation priorities and specific measurable goals to be addressed during the five-year period.
Table 2 presents goals to meet these high -priority needs ( ranked according to survey results ) and are generally consistent with the prior Con Plan.

All of the priorities are consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG and HOME programs to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents. The Priority Needs form the basis for allocating investments in the City during the next five-year period, beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2030. Entitlement funds will be allocated annually according to an Action Plan that will tie directly to these priorities. The first such Action Plan is detailed below.
2025-2026 Annual Action Plan
As of the date of this report, HUD has not provided the City’s allocation amounts for 202 5-2026 since Congress has not yet completed the appropriations process. HUD has instructed cities to continue their normal annual planning process and to submit the Action Plan once the 202 5-2026 allocations have been announced.
For the purposes of this report and in preparation of the Action Plan, staff will be assuming a 5% reduction from prior year funding for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG grant programs for planning purposes, as reflected in Table 3. In the event that the City recei ves a higher or lower allocation, staff has identified projects within the grant programs for increased or decreased funding. These projects are identified in the respective program sections below.

Total $3,178,174 $246,155 $3,424,329
Funding Requests
As part of the annual Action Plan process, the City releases a Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”) for the three grant programs. City Staff advertised the NOFA in the Star News and El Latino newspapers, announced it at the February 4 th Council Public Hearing, at local meetings such as the Chula Vista Community Collaborative, and also emailed the NOFA to all formerly funded agencies and interested parties. The NOFA was released on February 3, 2025, with a submittal deadline of March 3. Housing staff has reviewed all proposals to ensure compliance with the prescribed regulations and consistency with the City’s goals and objectives.
An executive summary was prepared for each request which summarizes the requested funding level, proposed use of funds, and benefit to the community in Attachment 1 (2025-2026 Federal Grant Funding Recommendations). The federal grant funding recommendations for CDBG, HOME , and ESG are presented below.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
For FY 2025-26, the City will utilize an estimated total of $2,481,910 of CDBG funds, which includes $246,155 in unencumbered prior year funds (these are funds previously appropriated for projects that were completed under budget). All projects considered for funding must address at least one of the three CDBG National Objectives: (1) benefit primarily low/moderate income families; (2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or (3) meet community needs due to a major emergency such as a natural disaster.
Projects are then classified into three distinct categories:
1. Administration and Planning
2. Public Services
3. Capital Improvement Projects (“CIPs”) and Community Development
Below is a summary of the funding recommendations under each respective category.
1. Administration/Planning Recommendations
Funds under this category cover all City staff costs associated with the management and administration of the City's CDBG program in cluding regulatory compliance, contract administration, subrecipient monitoring and fiscal management. This also includes preparation of the required planning documents, such as the Action Plan, the Con Plan, and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. As detailed in Table 4, Federal regulations governing the CDBG program limit the amount that the City spends on administration/planning activities to 20 percent (20%) of the entitlement amount for the program year (estimated cap of $447,151 in 2025-26).
P a g e | 7
A portion of the City’s CDBG Administration -Planning allocation is allocated to the City’s Fair Housing Provider. This year, for the second time, the City received multiple applications from Fair Housing Providers. After careful and thorough review of the applications staff is proposing to contract with Legal Aid Society of San Diego due to the increased level of services and staffing that they proposed.

2. Public Services Program Recommendation
Funds for Public Services activities are awarded to local agencies and community organizations to implement projects and programs that improve the lives of low-income residents, including the elderly, disabled, at-risk, and persons living in homelessness. The amount of funds the City may allocate to public services is limited to fifteen percent (15%) of the annual entitlement (estimated cap of $335,363 in 2025- 2026). Staff’s funding recommendations for public service activities are based on funding prioriti es established in the Con Plan, along with application scoring and an established ranking criterion which categorizes the programs by community need (Tier I-III, with Tier I being the highest), as summarized in Table 5.
Table 5: Public Services Community Need Ranking
Tier I
(highest) Tier II Tier III
Emergency Needs:
Programs that address basic,
fundamental needs
including shelter, food, and
other commodities.
Special Needs/Disabled:
Programs that provide services to
persons with disabilities, special
needs, and who are at high-risk.
Other General Services:
All other services which do not
fall within Tier I or II and provide
general public services to
low/moderate income persons.
A total of seventeen public service applications were received and fourteen are being recommended for funding. All recommended funding requests are previous grant recipients and are in good standing with the City and HUD . Applications that were not selected for funding were either ineligible according to program requirements, did not align with City funding goals, or will be funded using other City resources.

1The amount of funding recommended reflects previous allocations to this project. 2Should the City receive a greater or lower CDBG entitlement amount than that anticipated, funding will be allocated to or unallocated from this project.
In the event that the City receives an unexpectedly large decrease in entitlement funding allocations will be reduced from subrecipients in order of rankings established in the application review period.
3. CIPs and Community Development
After the Public Services and Administration activities are funded, a n estimated total of $1, 699,396 remains for eligible capital improvement projects, public fac ility improvements, and other housing/community/economic development-related activities. This includes $246,155 in unused prior year CDBG entitlement funds. The City has earmarked $695,903 for the annual Castle Park Infrastructure Section 108 debt service payment, with four years remaining on the 20 -year loan term. This leaves a balance of $1,003,493 for new projects.
To be considered eligible for funding within the CIP category, the project must be located in a primarily residential area designated as low/moderate income by the U.S. Census and cannot be regional in nature (serving the entire City or county region). Priority is given to those projects with the most effectiveness and the greatest feasibility by demonstrating leveraging of additional funding sources, benefit and impact to the community, and relevance to the City of Chula Vista’s Critical Needs List and/or Pedestrian Master Plan.
A total of five applications, plus the loan repayment, are presented under this category and detailed in Table 7 : the City’s Section 108 Loan payment , the City’s Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP), one CIP (Naples Street & Granjas), the BOOST program offered by Upwards, formerly WeeCare Inc, and an allocation for the City to complete housing acquisition and rehabilitation.

The Naples & Granjas project is for sidewalk
gap improvements along Naples Street from
just east of Br oadway to just west of Third
Avenue and a segment of Gran jas Road
north of Naples Street . The project will
include installation of missing curb, gutter,
and sidewalk in various locations. Per CDBG
regulations, CIP projects must serve an area
where at least 51% of residents are low and
moderate income. Provided with a
description of the project is a map
illustrating the location and HUD -designated
Low/Moderate Income Census Tract (shaded in
yellow).
The BOOST Program offered by Upwards assists micro -enterprise in -home daycares through personalized coaching and technical assistance. Low-income business owners in Chula Vista will be assisted, increasing both the strengt h and income of these microenterprise daycares, while also increasing childcare options for Chula Vista residents. This program’s goals align with the City’s proposed 2025-2029 Con Plan economic development goals of business technical assistance and job creation. Upwards was previously funded in the 2024 -2025 program year and demonstrates thorough knowledge of CDBG regulations, is in good standing with HUD. The Community Housing Improvement Program has been providing low cost and forgivable loans to single family and mobile home owners for health and safety related repairs since the 1970s. This valuable program has assisted over 1,250 households, enabling homeowners to remain in place as they age and make needed home maintenance improvements. In the past two years thirteen (13) homeowners have been issued loans and another ten (10) are currently in process.

CDBG funds often serve as gap financing and leveraging for larger projects such as acquisition and rehabilitation for affordable housing. Most recently CDBG was used to leverage additional funding for the acquisition of the Palomar Motel into Permanent Supportive Housing.
Home Investment Partnerships Act (HOME)
HOME funds may be used to provide affordable rental housing and home ownership opportunities through:
1. New construction
2. Acquisition
3. Rehabilitation
4. First-time homebuyer assistance
5. Tenant-based rental assistance
For 202 5-2026, the City will utilize the HOME entitlement (estimated allocation amount of $ 748,609) to address the City’s housing priorities of the 2025-2029 Con Plan per Table 8. Per the HOME regulations ten percent (10%) may be used for administrative costs (estimated at $74,860) and fifteen percent (15%) of the annual allocation must be set aside to assist Community Housing Develo pment Organizations (CHDOs) for the creation of affordable housing units (estimated minimum of $112,292 in 2025-2026). Should these funds not be utilized in a timely manner for this specific purpose, these funds would be recaptured by HUD and would be unav ailable to the City. The City will allocate this year’s 15% towards “Production of Affordable Housing”, with the intend to award funds to an affordable housing developer identified through an open Notice of Funding Availability or Request for Proposal process.
The remainder of funds will be utilized for the City’s own tenant-based rental assistance.

5Should the City receive a greater or lower HOME entitlement amount than that anticipated, funding will be allocated to or unallocated from this project.
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Chula Vista will receive an estimated $193,810 in ESG entitlement funds for 202 5-2026. ESG funds may be used to provide homeless services through:
1. Homeless Prevention
2. Rapid Re-Housing (rental assistance)
3. Street Outreach
4. Emergency Shelter
5. Homeless Management Information Systems (“HMIS”)
The City received one proposal for ESG ; an application from SBCS Corporation for operations of the Casa Nueva Vida shelter. SBCS is a previous grant recipient and is in good standing with the City and HUD. The P a g e | 11
remaining funds will be earmarked for Planning and Adm inistration Costs (7.5% of the entitlement, or an estimated $14,535 in 2025-2026), and Homeless Prevention Services, as detailed in Table 9. The Homeless Prevention program will be administered by Housing staff in the form of a rental arrears program, which has been a critical resource for retaining people in their current housing when they have a temporary decrease in income.

Conclusion and Next Steps
While the ESG and the HOME programs were designed to meet very specific objectives, the CDBG program allows flexibility in t he type of activities it funds. This allows the City to leverage its CDBG funds with ESG and HOME funds to maximize the impact of the grant funding to meet the housing needs of the lower income community. As the cost of housing has increased year after yea r, far outpacing income growth, housing has become increasingly unaffordable to more members of the community. The City’s Housing and Homeless Services Department continues to pursue funding opportunities to leverage with available Housing funds, including HOME, to develop affordable housing projects and programs.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing to solicit input from the community on the 2025-2029 5-Year Con Plan and 2025-2026 Action Plan funding recommendations presented. The plans were both released on the City’s federal grant webpage for the required 30-day review, the comment period began on April 1, 2025 and will close May 1, 2025.
Staff will incorporate all public comments into the final Action Plan, anticipated to be brought forward for City Council consideration on May 6, 2025.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the Naples Street & Granjas Road CIP which is the subject of this action.
It was determined that Mayor John McCann has real property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property located at 31 4th Avenue which is also subject of this action. Consequently, pursua nt to California Code of Regulations Title 2, sections 18700 and 18702.2(a)(7), this item presents a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.) for the above-identified member.
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
