SUBJECT: Purchase of Concrete Mixing Trailer & Loader
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopts the next Resolution, in order, to authorize the Purchasing Agent to waive the bidding requirements in accordance with El Cajon Municipal Code section

3.20.010(C)(5), to execute a purchase agreement with Cart-Away Concrete Systems, Inc. (CACSI) for the purchase of a concrete mixing trailer and loader in the not-to-exceed amount of $90,000.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department submitted the attached memorandum dated January 13, 2023, with sole source justification to purchase a CMK-175 1-3/4 Cubic Yard MixKing Mixing Trailer and CLP-200 LoadPro Loader from CACSI due to availability, functionality, and compatibility with existing equipment.

The sole source request has been reviewed and the Purchasing Division has confirmed that CACSI is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the above mentioned trailer and loader in the United States.

As a result, this purchase is recommended as an exception to the City’s competitive bidding requirement pursuant to ECMC section 3.20.010(C)(5), finding that: “The bidding procedures of this chapter may be waived, and an open market purchase pursuant to section 3.20.110 of this chapter may be authorized for all expenditures not involving a public project when the commodity or service can be obtained from only one source.” Staff recommends this purchase be made from CACSI as being in the best interest of the City.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of this procurement is $90,000, which includes the units specified above and a contingency amount of $6,982.74 ($83,017.26 for equipment and $6,982.74 for estimated costs/freight).

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 13, 2023
TO: Mara Romano, Purchasing Agent
VIA: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Public Works
FROM: Mike James, Deputy Director of Public Works - Operations SUBJECT: Sole Source Request to Purchase Concrete Mixing Trailer and Loader Public Works Operations has experienced two to six-week delays when ordering concrete trucks to repair or replace concrete flatwork in the City. Concrete companies are only committing to deliveries after mid-morning. These two issues are problematic for two reasons. First, the extended delivery date is nearly impossible to predict if that will be a good day to pour concrete. Weather conditions and competing City projects affect whether or not a concrete job can occur. Second, delivering concrete after mid-morning causes the Streets Division to incur overtime to finish and safeguard the concrete so the panels are not vandalized. Lastly, concrete companies have stated that anything less than nine yards (a full truck) ordered will not be delivered. In addition, if less than nine yards of concrete are used, the delivery trucks will not haul away the excess concrete, and staff will have to find other locations nearby to use the additional concrete.

These issues prompted staff to explore alternatives to ordering truckloads of concrete.

1. Order Smaller Carts of Concrete: This is currently what staff does to replace smaller concrete projects. A 2-3 yard concrete cart can be ordered for ~$500, and staff picks it up and transports it to the project site. One cart can replace only 3-4 concrete sidewalk panels.

2. Purchase a compact Concrete Cart and Loader: Rather than renting a cart for one-time projects, if a trailer and loader were purchased, it would allow the Street divisions to control the timeliness of concrete deliveries, which would serve as one of the solutions to the City Council goal of City Beautification to be performed by staff. It will also serve as a timely way to repair sidewalks as requests are received throughout the year without worrying about concrete companies' schedules, including the repair of identified tripping hazards.

Historically, Public Works has received the following sidewalk repair requests:

Year Estimated # Annual
Requests

Page 1 of 7 ends

( 2020 113 I
2021 75
j 2022 119 I
From this information, staff believed that the. number of sidewalk repairs would remain constant.

However, considering the current Engineering Department assessment identifying all sidewalk -tripping hazards in the City, the number of anticipated requests is increasing.

Staff recommends purchasing equipment and performing the concrete work in-house. Staff researched compact concrete mixers and trailers and determined that Cart-Away Concrete Systems has a 1.75 cubic yard concrete mixing trailer that would best work with our existing equipment. Another manufacturer does not offer this size and type of compact concrete mixing trailer. Staff solicited a quote from Cart-Away Concrete Systems , Inc. for a 1.75 cubic yard MixKing Mixing Trailer and CLP-200 LoadPro (trailer and loader). Staff requests to purchase the trailer and loader through the sole source procurement process.

Cart-Away Concrete Systems, Inc. submitted a sole source letter to the City that described the specific reasons why the trailer and loader are considered a product of a sole source provider. Those reasons include the following:

1. A proprietary design and function of the units, a custom hopper that facilitates loading of the trailer, and

2. Cart-Away Concrete Systems, Inc. is the sole manufacturer of this trailer and loader in the United States; no other representatives can sell these products.

During the quote solicitation process, staff searched multiple websites offering similar concrete trailers and loading units. In every instance but one, the units were not for sale, only for rent. And those companies referred us to Cart Away Concrete Systems as their source. The only business with the trailer and loader available for sale is outside of the United States.

Recommendation: Staff requests that Cart-Away Concrete Systems , Inc. is identified as a sole source vendor with the recommendation that the City purchase a 1. 75 cubic yard MixKing Mixing Trailer and CLP200 Load Pro. The benefits of owning a concrete mixer will allow Public Works operations to provide concrete in the right-of-way and in the City parks and drainage channels more efficiently by producing concrete at the Operations Yard and transporting it throughout the City. It will also allow staff to respond to MyCivic and Engineering Division requests that require concrete efficiently and effectively .

Agenda Item 8.

DATE: February 28, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jose Dorado, Housing Manager
SUBJECT: FY 2023-24 CDBG and HOME Allocations for the One Year Annual Action Plan
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Opens the public hearing and accepts public testimony for the FY 2023-24 CDBG and HOME Allocations for the One Year Annual Action Plan (Action Plan);

1. Closes the public hearing; and2.

Accepts staff recommendations for projects and programs that will be funded from the FY 2023-24 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) grant programs.

3. BACKGROUND:

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding each year to eligible jurisdictions through the federal CDBG and HOME entitlement programs. These federal funds must be used for eligible projects and programs that benefit low and moderate income individuals and households in the City of El Cajon that are consistent with the City’s approved Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan).

CDBG funds are used for community development activities (public services) and public facility/capital improvement/other housing related projects. HOME funds can be used solely to assist in providing affordable housing opportunities.

ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
In order to implement the goals and priorities of the 2019-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City must annually prepare and adopt a One Year Action Plan, which specifies the use of CDBG and HOME resources for the fiscal year. Following the allocation decisions from this public hearing, the draft Action Plan will be prepared and made available for public review and comment for a minimum 30-day period. After incorporating public comments, the Action Plan will be presented to the City Council at a second public hearing tentatively scheduled for April 25, 2023, for final approval and adoption. Once approved, the Action Plan will be submitted to HUD for review by May 17, 2023. Upon approval by HUD, the funds will become available on or after July 1, 2023.

FY 2023-24 CDBG AND HOME FUNDING
Staff prepared the funding recommendations using the allocations from FY 2022-23 since HUD has not yet announced the allocation amounts for FY 2023-24. For FY 2023-24, the CDBG allocation is estimated to be $1,219,861 and the HOME allocation is estimated to be $665,010.

Included in this report is also $170,106 in prior year CDBG Unallocated Funds and $2,365,757 in prior year HOME Housing Pool of Funds.

CDBG PROPOSALS RECEIVED
Through the published application process for CDBG projects and programs, the City received eleven (11) eligible requests. The complete Applications Binder is available in the City Clerk’s Office for City Council and public review. As in past years, the requests for funding exceed the amounts expected to be available for allocation. Recommendations for the various categories of funding are listed below, and are also summarized in Attachment “1” of this report.

PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION (Maximum 20% of annual CDBG Grant) Based on an estimated allocation of $1,219,861, approximately $243,972 will be available for planning and administration activities. Staff recommends awarding the funds as follows:

CDBG Administration – The City provides staffing, management, accounting, and fiscal oversight for the administration and implementation of both the CDBG and HOME programs.

These activities will require the maximum amount of CDBG Administration funds available to adequately administer both funds for FY 2023-24. Staff recommends allocating $203,972 in CDBG funds to the City’s Community Development Department for required administration, including internal and external costs. These include training, environmental reviews, consultant and legal services. This activity is also recommended for additional funding, up to the maximum 20%, once the final allocation amount is known.

CSA San Diego County – Fair Housing & Landlord/Tenant Services – The provision of fair housing services is mandatory for federal programs, including the CDBG and HOME programs.

CSA San Diego County requested funds to provide fair housing and landlord/tenant services for City of El Cajon residents. Staff recommends funding for CSA San Diego County, in the total amount of $40,000 in CDBG funds. An increase in funding is based on the programs and services that were added to the 2021-2029 Housing Element and the requirement to affirmatively further fair housing.

PUBLIC SERVICES (Maximum 15% of annual CDBG Grant)
The City received eight (8) applications for public service programs. Staff anticipates that a maximum of approximately $182,979 will be available for allocation to Public Service programs and projects in FY 2023-24, and recommends as follows:

Community Policing (Crime Free Multi-Housing) - Funds were requested for the continued provision of the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program which serves residents citywide by reducing crime and increasing safety in neighborhoods. Staff recommends funding this activity in the same amount as the previous fiscal year of $37,086.

East County Transitional Living Center (Emergency Shelter Program) - Funds were requested once again to provide emergency shelter for the homeless. The program proposes to serve 250 persons with emergency shelter beds (up to 60 days), as well as providing food and case management. This program has received operational support from the City since 2005. Staff recommends funding this activity in the amount of $100,000 to ensure continuing shelter recommends funding this activity in the amount of $100,000 to ensure continuing shelter availability.

ElderHelp of San Diego (Senior Care Coordination Program) – Funds were requested for operational support for the provision of in-home case management, referrals and transportation for El Cajon seniors. The program has received funding for the past four years. ElderHelp anticipates serving 45 individuals with in-home or other case management services in FY 2023-24. Staff recommends funding this activity in the amount of $10,000.

Interfaith Shelter Network (Rotational Shelter Program) - Funds were requested to provide emergency shelter for homeless individuals at East County churches on a rotational basis during the winter months or, if available, hotels/motels. Each church and/or hotel/motel agrees to provide shelter, food and services. The program proposes to serve up to 15 people from El Cajon over the winter months that the shelter is operating. Staff recommends funding this activity in the amount of $10,893.

Mama’s Kitchen (Home-Delivered Meal Program) – Funds in the amount of $12,500 were requested for continued support for the Home-Delivered Meal Program which delivers meals for critically ill El Cajon residents. The no-cost meals provide daily nutrition for clients and their dependent children who are at risk of malnutrition due to cancer, diabetes, heart failure and kidney disease. Funds will be used to support the purchase of food and meal containers. Due to limited CDBG funds available, this program is not recommended for funding with this funding source. Staff believes this program meets a critical need and is a valuable benefit. Therefore, staff will propose to use a portion of remaining CDBG-CV funds for the Mama’s Kitchen program, and will come before the City Council with an Action Plan amendment in April 2023.

Meals on Wheels (Meals on Wheels El Cajon) - Funds were requested once again for the provision of meals to low-income, homebound seniors within the City. The program proposes to serve 189 El Cajon seniors. This program has received operational support from the City since 1992. Staff recommends funding this activity in the amount of $25,000.

Heartland Coalition (Affirmative Fair & Equal Access Housing) – Funds in the amount of $75,000 were requested to build a structural-insulated-panel (SIP) dwelling unit to house a homeless or low-income family in El Cajon. Heartland Coalition Carpentry and Construction Pre-Apprenticeship Program's CDBG application describes the project as a job training program. Their goal is to have ten (10) low-income pre-apprenticeship trainees during the construction of the home. Due to limited CDBG funds and City Council’s priority goals within the Consolidated Plan, this program is not recommended for funding as it falls within the public service cap of 15%.

Home Start, Inc. (El Cajon Outreach and Homeless Services) – Funds in the amount of $182,979 were requested to expand the street outreach team and assist with encampments in collaboration with El Cajon staff. Street outreach includes wraparound services for clients for self-sufficiency, access to mental health and substance abuse programs, childcare referrals, and employment training. In addition to referrals, case management is also provided to help find permanent housing solutions or long-term housing programs. Due to limited CDBG funds available, this program is not recommended for funding with this funding source. However, staff will be recommending funding Home Start’s request with prior year CDBG funds under a separate agenda item at today's City Council meeting.

PUBLIC FACILITIES/CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT/OTHER PROJECTS (Up to the remaining PUBLIC FACILITIES/CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT/OTHER PROJECTS (Up to the remaining funds available)
CDBG allows the City to use funds to conduct a variety of public facility and public improvement projects that benefit low and moderate income residents. This includes facilities and improvements that are publicly owned, or that are owned by a nonprofit and open to the public (with certain exceptions). Previous City Council direction has been to maximize and prioritize the use of CDBG funds for CDBG-eligible, City-owned public facility improvements serving the entire community. The City Council has preferred to prioritize funding to continuing phased projects and projects already underway, before funding new projects.

In FY 2023-24, staff estimates that $792,910 in CDBG funds will be available for allocation to public facility/capital/other activities. In addition, staff has identified $170,106 in CDBG unallocated funds carried over from previous years that can be used for these type of activities.

This brings the total available for eligible projects to $963,016 in this category.

The following is a brief discussion of each project’s request for Public Facilities/Capital/Other funds, and staff’s recommendations:

Emergency Repair Program (ERP) (City Community Development) – CDBG funding is recommended for a new pilot program – the Emergency Repair Program. This program will provide grants of up to $10,000 to mobile home and single family homeowners earning below 50% AMI (up to $65,050 for a household of 4) for emergency repairs to their homes, that otherwise would cause their homes to be uninhabitable. Priority homeowners are intended to be seniors, age 62 or older (to meet HUD’s definition), persons with disabilities (to meet HUD’s definition), and units that are located in the designated environmental justice communities and those communities identified as areas of racial and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty.

Some emergency repairs may include, but are not limited to, roofing, plumbing, electrical work and code violation repairs that may cause a health or safety hazard. Staff will finalize policies and procedures to lay out specific eligibility criteria by the estimated start date of August of 2023. Staff recommends funding this pilot program in the amount of $60,000 ($50,000 for project costs and $10,000 for project management costs).

ADA Concrete Improvements 2023 (City Public Works) – Funding is requested for continuation of this City-wide program to construct new concrete pedestrian curb ramps and sidewalks. This will be the third year of funding for this project. All phases of the project are funded through previous allocations that are expected to be completed by May 2023. With this new allocation of CDBG, it is anticipated that 70 additional pedestrian curb ramps can be completed by May 2024. Locations are selected through a rotating cycle through the City’s five (5) maintenance zones and those that are in close proximity to schools. Staff recommends funding for this activity in the amount of $694,760 in FY 2023-24 CDBG and $170,000 in prior year CDBG Unallocated Funds for a total of $864,866. This project may receive additional funding if the final CDBG allocations are higher than anticipated for 2023-24.

Home of Guiding Hands (Facility Improvements at 1414 Bermuda Lane) – Funding has been requested for facility improvements to one group home serving severely developmentally disabled adults. This project will provide rehabilitation of the home at 1414 Bermuda Lane, to include zero water landscaping and installation of concrete pavers. These repairs will allow residents to further enjoy the property and increase accessibility for non-ambulatory and/or fragilely ambulatory clients in wheelchairs, and visually impaired clients that have difficulty with depth perception. HUD determination for eligibility of this project is pending. Upon HUD approval, staff recommends funding this activity in the amount of $38,150.

HOME PROPOSALS RECEIVED
Through the published application process for HOME projects and programs, the City received one (1) eligible request for HOME funding. The complete Applications Binder is available in the City Clerk’s Office for City Council and public review.

The HOME program mandates a 10% set-aside for Administration, a 15% set-aside for Certified Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs), and the balance is reserved eligible programs and projects that are consistent with the City’s Consolidated Plan. Examples of past programs include the City’s First Time Homebuyer Program (“FTHB”) and the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (“HRLP”) for single-family and mobile homes and Habitat for Humanity projects. Staff recommendations for funding in each category are summarized below and included in Attachment “2.”
PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION (Maximum 10% of annual HOME Grant) HOME funds are required for administration and planning activities, including general management, oversight, program implementation and fair housing services. Staff anticipates that a maximum amount of approximately $66,501 will be available for allocation to Planning and Administration activities, and recommends funding as follows:

HOME Administration - Staff recommends allocating $66,501 to the Community Development Department for administration of the HOME Program, including internal and external costs.

Since this amount of funding is not sufficient to adequately administer the HOME program, funds awarded for CDBG Administration are used to cover administration costs of the HOME program over this amount. This activity is also recommended for additional funding, up to the maximum 10% allowed, once the final allocation amount is known.

CHDO SET-ASIDE FUNDING (Minimum 15% of HOME Grant)
The HOME program also requires that 15% of each year’s allocation be reserved for the production of affordable housing opportunities by one or more Community Housing Development Organizations (each a CHDO). A CHDO is a private nonprofit, community-based service organization that has as its mission the provision of affordable housing for the community it serves. A CHDO must also have staff on board with the capacity to develop affordable housing, along with meeting other criteria. Once a CHDO has met the criteria, it must be certified by the City of El Cajon in order to qualify for the use of CHDO funds, and a specific project must be identified. For FY 2023-24, 15% of the total HOME allocation (approximately $99,752) must be set-aside for future allocation to one or more CHDOs. Staff will return with recommendations for a specific CHDO and project once a CHDO and a project have been identified. At this stage, in order to comply with HOME regulations, funds must simply be reserved.

ENTITLEMENT PROJECTS (Balance of annual HOME Grant)
The remaining amount available in the FY 2023-24 allocation is approximately $498,759. Staff recommends allocating the remaining balance to the Housing Programs Pool of Funds for use in continuing housing programs, including the HRLP and the FTHB Programs. Funds are moved from the Pool of Funds reserve to these housing programs on an as-needed basis, based on market conditions and demand. Currently, both the FTHB and HRLP have sufficient funds and will continue in FY 2023-24.

PRIOR YEAR HOUSING POOL OF FUNDS

PRIOR YEAR HOUSING POOL OF FUNDS
Recently, a large balance of funds has accumulated in the Pool of Funds, due to prior year carryovers and projects not being previously identified. The total balance available in the Housing Pool of Funds is $2,365,757 (not including FY 2023-24 allocation). Staff is recommending re-allocation and reprogramming these funds ($2,365,757) to San Diego Habitat for Humanity, a qualified affordable housing developer, for a development project that will result in affordable housing units through homeownership in the City of El Cajon, as described below.

This activity is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan.

San Diego Habitat for Humanity (SDHH) - Funding is requested for the proposed development of 20 for-sale affordable units for homebuyers earning below 80% AMI ($104,100 for a family of 4). Funds will be used for acquisition, pre-development and unit construction. If this project is approved, the first step is to identify and purchase a property within six (6) months of award and then move on to future phases. The completion of this project is set for June 2028 or earlier.

City staff will also work with SDHH to certify them as a Community Housing Development Organization allowing them to access the CHDO 15% set-aside funds for FY 2023-24 identified above.

Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the recommendations that will be funded from the FY 2023-24 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME grant programs, including CDBG unallocated funds and HOME Housing Pools of Funds.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 9.

DATE: February 28, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jose Dorado, Housing Manager
SUBJECT: HOME-ARP Allocation Plan and Amendment to the FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21 One Year Action Plans
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

1. Opens the public hearing and takes the following actions:
a. Accepts testimony for the proposed amendment to the FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21 One Year Action Plans to allocate unspent funds to Home Start for homeless outreach and services; and
b. Accepts testimony for the proposed Home Investment Partnerships Act Allocation Plan as part of the third amendment to FY 2021-22 One Year Action Plan;

2. Closes the public hearing; and

BACKGROUND:

Amendment to the FY 2019-20 and 2020-21 One Year Action Plans (CDBG funds) On September 13, 2022 and September 27, 2022, City Council approved the re-allocation and appropriation of $185,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to a COVID-19 eligible public service project, partially funded by FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21 CDBG funds. Through the published application process, staff received one (1) eligible application and noticed the public review and comment period from February 9, through February 16, 2023 (for a minimum 5-day period) to identify a funding recommendation to Home Start, Inc. No public comments were received during the review and comment period.

Home Start proposes to expand the street outreach team to address encampments in collaboration with El Cajon staff and other local homeless service providers. Street outreach includes wraparound services for clients for self-sufficiency, access to mental health and substance abuse programs, childcare referrals, and employment training. In addition to referrals, case management is also provided to help find permanent housing solutions or a long-term housing program.

Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council approves the re-allocation of $185,000 in Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council approves the re-allocation of $185,000 in CDBG funds to Home Start for expanded outreach and homeless services, and amends the associated One Year Action Plans.

HOME-ARP Allocation Plan and Third Amendment to FY 2021-22 One Year Action Plan On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) was signed into law, and HUD allocated and awarded funding to local jurisdictions through the HOME Investment Partnerships Act American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) program. HUD has added the suffix ARP (representing American Rescue Plan) to distinguish these additional funds.

On April 8, 2021, HUD announced the HOME-ARP allocation to the City of El Cajon in the amount of $2,189,272. In order to receive the full allocation, the City must first approve a HOME-ARP Allocation Plan (HOME-ARP Plan), which identifies community needs and funding priorities, and submit the plan to HUD as an amendment to the FY 2021-22 One Year Action Plan, by March 31, 2023.

This agenda item requires the City Council to conduct the first of two public hearings that allows El Cajon citizens the opportunity to comment on proposed activities in the HOME-ARP Plan funded with one-time HOME-ARP funds. The HOME-ARP Plan will be incorporated into a Third Amendment to the FY 2021-22 One Year Action Plan. The draft HOME-ARP allocation plan is attached to this agenda report as Appendix A using a HUD prescribed template.

Eligible Uses of HOME-ARP Funds
HUD has stated that the intent of these funds is to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability in El Cajon by assisting qualified populations (individuals or households) who are experiencing homelessness, at risk of experiencing homelessness, and other vulnerable populations. Funding may only be used for new rental housing, rental assistance, supportive services, and non-congregate shelters.

Qualified Populations include individuals and families who are:

Experiencing homelessness;
At risk of becoming homeless;
Fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking;
At greatest risk of housing instability; or
Needing supportive services or assistance to prevent homelessness.

Generally, the Qualified Populations earn between 0 and 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI) with a household of one (1) limit at $27,350 and a household of four (4) limit at $39,050. This is the extremely low category.

Eligible Activities include the following:

Production or Preservation of Affordable Rental Housing; Supportive Services, Homelessness Prevention Services, and Housing Counseling; and Nonprofit Operating and Capacity Building Assistance
HUD has indicated that the HOME-ARP Plan must include the following key components.

Key Component #1: Complete a Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis The analysis must include an evaluation of the size and demographic composition of Qualifying Populations and an assessment of their unmet needs. The City must also identify any gaps within its current shelter and housing inventory as well as the service delivery system.

Furthermore, the HOME-ARP Plan must identify the characteristics of housing associated with instability, increased risk of homelessness, identify priority needs for qualifying populations; and, explain how the level of need and gaps in its shelter and housing inventory and service delivery systems were determined.

To meet HUD’s requirements, staff conducted a needs assessment and gap analysis to identify housing, shelter, and service needs for low-income households, particularly individuals experiencing or at-risk of homelessness. The development of this analysis included survey results, consultations with stakeholders, and an assessment of local data from the 2021-2029 Housing Element (“HE”), 2019-2024 Consolidated Plan and data from the local Continuum of Care led by the Regional Task Force on Homelessness.

2022 Point in Time Count (PITC)
HUD requires the City to use the most recent PITC data. As of January 2022, there were 683 persons in an emergency shelter and 440 in transitional housing facilities in the City’s jurisdiction. The Housing Inventory shows 739 Emergency Shelter Beds (92% utilization), 491 Transitional Housing Beds (90% utilization), 15 Permanent Supportive Housing Beds (100% utilization), and 741 Rapid Re-Housing Beds (100% utilization).

The number of unsheltered individuals was 185. The homeless profile from the 2022 PITC shows 3% of the unsheltered are veterans, 22% are female, 3% are families, 6% are youth, and 66% are male. Note that the capacity and utilization of these specific locations may have changed.

Housing Inventory
As of January 2023, there are 1,153 deed restricted affordable housing units throughout the City of El Cajon. The waiting lists vary from project to project with units available to low-income families and seniors. Based on the number of affordable units in El Cajon, there appears to be a lack of permanent supportive affordable housing units with wraparound services that serve households who earn below 30% of the AMI level and meet HUD’s definition of Qualifying Populations. In addition, the City’s RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Allocation) identified that there is a housing need for an additional 240 units at the Extremely Low level (30% AMI or less). HOME-ARP funding can be used to help achieve the RHNA goal and assist in serving the needs of Qualifying populations.

Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program (Section 8)
There are currently 8,360 families on the El Cajon waiting list and 3,146 families receiving HCV assistance in El Cajon. The household limit for the HCV program is set at 50% of the Area Median Income. Based on the high demand for housing at the extremely low income level (30% AMI or less), HOME-ARP funds may be used to address this need for housing at deeper affordability levels.

Key Component #2: Identify HOME-ARP Activities
An additional requirement of the HOME-ARP Plan requires the City to describe how it will distribute the funds. The City will first need to issue a Request for Proposals and seek qualified organizations to assist the City in meeting the goals of the HOME-ARP Plan. Based on comments received to date, and a review of the Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis, the following activities are proposed to be funded using HOME-ARP funds:

1. Production or Preservation of Affordable Rental Housing to serve Qualifying Populations;

2. Planning and Administration
These needs may change as the City continues to review additional public comments.

Key Component #3: HOME-ARP Production Goals
It is estimated that 20 households will benefit from the one-time HOME-ARP funding. The City plans to leverage its HOME-ARP funding with other funding sources to maximize the use of the funds. Although it is estimated that 20 HOME-ARP deed restricted units will be created, this amount could be higher depending on the applications that the City receives from qualified organizations through a Request for Proposals. This goal will assist in meeting the goals of the HE, as well as the gaps identified in the Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis section of this report. If the HOME-ARP priorities change, the City will update the production goals/amount of households to be served with this funding.

Key Component #4: Public Participation that includes a Public Review and Comment Period
Based on comments received to date, a draft HOME-ARP Plan has been prepared and is available for public review and comment at www.elcajon.gov/housing from February 16, 2023 through March 6, 2023. Public comments from the review and comment period, the Public Hearings (February 28, 2023 and March 14, 2023), continued results from the HOME-ARP survey and community comments will be used to develop the final HOME-ARP Plan that is tentatively scheduled for City Council approval on March 14, 2023. Once the final HOME-ARP Plan is approved, applications from qualified organizations for activities identified in the final plan will be solicited.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council conducts the public hearing and receives public comments at the first of two public hearings.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funding is available for this action in the Fiscal Year 2023 Community Development Block Grant program (271280/#TBD) for the Action Plan Amendment to fund Home Start, Inc. In addition, the administration and planning of the HOME-ARP Plan ($109,463) was previously approved by City Council on September 13, 2022.

SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT
Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan
HOME Investment Partnerships Program
American Rescue Plan
February 16, 2023

PURPOSE
The City of El Cajon’s Housing Division prepared a substantial amendment to the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan (AAP), HUD Program Year (PY) 2021, which describes the proposed projects and programs to be supported with HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME)-American Rescue Plan (ARP ) allocation of $2,189,272.00. The FY2021-2022 AAP and other documents are available for review at Community Development Housing Division’s website at www.elcajon.gov/housing.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2022 approp riated $5 billion to help communities provide housing, shelter, and services for pe ople experiencing homelessness, and other qualifying populations. Under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s HOME-ARP program, the City of El Cajon anticipates receiving $2,189,272.00 in HOME- ARP funds. HOME-ARP funding will assist individuals or households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and other vulnerab le populations to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability. HOME-ARP funds can only be used for the production and preservation of affordable rental housing, tenant-based rental assistance, supportive services, acquisition and development of non-congregate shelter and nonprofit operating and capacity building.

This one-time funding create s significant opportunity to meet the housing and service needs of the community’s most vulnerable populations. To receive the HOME-ARP funds, the City of El Cajon must engage in the cons ultation and public participation process to develop a HOME-ARP allocation plan. The pl an must be submitted to HUD for review, as a substantial amendment to the FY 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan (HUD PY2022). The plan must also describe the distribution of HOME-ARP funds and how it will be used to address the needs of HOME-ARP qualifying populations.

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
To ensure broad input into the HOME-ARP A llocation Plan from stakeholders and the public, the City of El Cajon engaged in consultation with stakeholders and the public, which included distribution of a needs assessment survey (released December 20, 2022 and closed March 6, 2023), 15- day public comment period and scheduled two public hearings. Outreach was accomplished through utilization of multiple existing stakeholder contact/distribution listings (e.g., CDBG and Housing; San Diego Continuum of Care; San Diego Housing Federation), various social media platforms (e.g., Twitter, Facebook;), and posted on the City’s website.

The City received twenty (20) responses to the survey, nine (9) of which represented organizations that address the needs of the qualifying populations, and public or private organizations that address fair housing, ci vil rights, and the needs of persons with disabilities.

As of February 16, 2023, feedback received from consultation revealed strong support for the following eligibility activities in descending order:

1. Development of Affor dable Housing for Persons Experiencing o r A t R i s k o f Homelessness

2. Tenant-Based Rental Assistance

3. Supportive Services to Individuals or Families Not Already Receiving Support

4. Acquisition and Development of Non-Congregate Shelter

5. Capacity Building
The City will continue to receive input du ring the draft comment 15-day period of February 16, 2023 to March 6, 2023, and at the February 28, 2023, and March 14, 2023 public hearings.

Based on f
eedback received to date, many organizations noted the need to expand affordable housing supply as a long-term solution due the funding requirement to restrict the units to a 20- to 55-year affo
rdability period. Many re spondents also described the
need for supportive services linked to ho using, particularly permanent supportive housing. This is also consistent with the City’s 2019-2024 Consolidated Plan and 2021- 2029 Housing Element.

Moreover, in accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, the City coordinated community engagement efforts to facilitate and encourage the involvement of low- and moderate-income populations. The public part icipation process is intended to solicit feedback on the draft plan and included:
 Publication of public notices;
 15-day public comment period;

endment to the FY2022 AAP (HUD PY2021)
from February 16, 2023 through March 6, 2023, which will set forth in the City’s HOME- ARP allocation plan and describe the distribution of HOME-ARP funds.

The Notice and this Draft Substantial Amend ment, which includes the draft allocation plan, are available for review on the City of El Cajon’s Housing Division website at www.elcajon.gov/housing.

SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City o
f El Cajon (“City”) has been allocated $2,189,272.00 of HOME American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). To receive the HOME-ARP allocation, the City must engage in consultation and public participation processes and develop a HOME-ARP Allocation Plan.

To ensure broad input into the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan from stakeholders and the public, the City engaged in consultati on with stakeholde rs and the public, including virtual consultation sessions, an in-person consultation session, survey, 15- day public comment period and three public hearings.

The needs assessment and gap analysis identified the following needs and gaps that may be addressed using HOME-ARP funds:
● The 2022 WeAllCount Point-in-Time Co unt identified a total of 8,427 individuals experiencing sheltered homelessness in the San Diego Region with 185 individuals experiencing unshel tered homelessness in the City of El Cajon.
● In January 2022, there were 683 emergency shelter beds, 0 safe haven beds, 440 transitional housing beds, 0 permanent suppor tive housing beds, 0 rapid re- housing beds, and 2,482 other permanent housing.

To address these needs and gaps, the City will utilize HO ME -ARP funds for affordable housing through competitive No tice of Funding Availability (NOFA) processes.

Based on survey results to date, the preliminary use to HOME-ARP funding are for following eligible activities:

1. Development and support of affordable housing: Production of permanent affordable rental housing, wi th the focus of leveraging other funding sources including but not limited to the following:
 State of California’s Housing and Community Development’s (HCD) various funding sources including but not limited to the Homekey program, which may categorically target homeless and those at risk of homelessness, Low Income Hous ing Tax Credits, and the use of Multi-Family Revenue Bonds.
 County of San Diego also has fund ing from time to time including project based vouchers.
2 HOME-
ARP Allocation Plan
 The HOME-ARP funds can be used to leverage other sources that require marching funds. The City will work with an affordable housing developer who h
as a proven track record of developing this type of housing and has experience working with the qualifying populations described in the revised CP
D Notice CPD-22-13 and further described below.

2. Administration and Planning- these funds are limited to 15% of the HOME- ARP allocation.

SECTION 3: STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION

Consultation Process
Before developing its plan, a PJ must consult with the CoC(s) (Continuum of Care) serving the jurisdiction’s geographic area, homeless and domestic violence service providers, veterans’ groups, public housing agencies (PHAs), pu blic agencies that address the needs of the qualifying populations, and public or private organizations that address fair housing, civil rights, and the needs of persons with disabilities, at a minimum. State PJs are not required to co nsult with every PHA or CoC within the state’s boundaries; however, local PJs mu st consult with all PHAs (including statewide or regional PHAs) and CoCs serving the jurisdiction.

Summary of the Consultation Process
The Consolidated Plan for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds relies on multiple planning efforts from a variety of sources to inform the allocations of the Consolidated Plan funds, inclusive of this amendment to the 2021 Annual Action Plan. The consultation process illustrates how HUD funds are part of a mu ch larger funding picture for housing, human services, and community development in the City of El Cajon. Through the Regional Taskforce on the Homelessness (RTFH), which also functions as the San Diego County Continuum of Care, the City's Community Development Department, and the City of El Cajon’s General Plan and Housing Element, the City’s planning efforts inform changes and updates to El Cajon’s ho melessness prevention and service system, while providing key opportunities for consultation and public input.

In addition, the City’s FY 2023 Budget included sign ificant public input and discussion to shape policy and budget prio rities. The budget is passed by the City Council in June of each year.

To ensure broad input into the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan from stakeholders and the public, the City engaged in consultation with stakeholders and the public through direct consultation, meetings, and surveys, a 15-day public comment period, and a public hearing.

Stakeholder Consultation
The City of El Cajon partners with public and private entities to leverage resources in addressing housing, human services, and community development needs in the City.

The City’s Community Development Department (CD) conducted outreach efforts to the organizations listed below specificall y to discuss the best use of HOME-ARP funds and the development of the HOME-A RP Allocation Plan. These consulted stakeholders have relevant knowledge that can speak to the needs, service gaps, and potential activities that would best bene fit qualified populations. Stakeholders consulted included fair housing provider s, veterans’ groups, the RTFH (region’s Continuum of Care) and those who work wi th families or individuals experiencing

4 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
or at-risk of homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, and other vulnerable qualifying populations.

A community partner survey was conducted a s p a r t o f t h e H O M E - A R P p l a n n i n g process. Community partners from a numb er of organizations were invited to participate in the survey.

The survey was made availa ble from December 20, 2022, to February 15, 2023.

Invitations were provided directly by CD ’s listserv, as well as through community partners, such as non-profit partners and the San Diego Housing Federation, announcing the availability of funds and requesting inpu t through the survey with links and QR codes provided to their memb er networks. Links to the survey were also made available on the City of El Cajon’s Community Development’s web page at www.elcajon.gov/housing.

Information provided and requested from stakeholders included 1) an overview of the HOME ARP notice to facilitate unde rstanding of qualifyi ng populations and eligible activities, 2) the amounts available to the City of El Cajon; 3) an opportunity to ask clarifying questions, and 4) requ ests for input into needs and gaps, and priority populations and activities.

Size and Demographic Composition of Qualifying Populations Describe the size and demographic composition of qualifying populations within the PJ’s boundaries:

Homeless Population
In accordance with HUD’s definition of homeless under the HOME-ARP grant, the City of El Cajon considers a homeless family or individual to generally include:
 An individual or family who lacks a permanent and adequate permanent home;
 A person or family who wi ll imminently lose their permanent home due to a

12 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
lack of resources or support; and,
 A youth under the age of 25, even if a ccompanied by an adult that does not have a permanent home.

The San Diego Regional Taskforce on Homele ssness (RTFH) is a collaborative effort to prevent and end homelessness in the San Diego region. The Continuum of Care (CoC) for San Diego County is led by th e RTFH. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there was no street count conducted in 2021 to identify unsheltered homeless populations. The January 20 22 point-in-time count (PITC) of both sheltered and unsheltered homelessness is used for th is analysis. According to the 2022 PITC, organized by the RTFH, conducted on January 23, 2022, 1,308 individuals in El Cajon were reported to be experiencing homeless ness. 185 of those individuals or 14% of those experiencing homelessness were living without shelter.

East County Homeless Task Force (202 0) Goals to Address Homelessness The following goals have been identified by the East County Homeless Task Force (noting East County Cities include El Cajon, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Santee, and the Unincorporated Areas of Alpine, Lakeside, Ramona, and Spring Valley:
 Increase the number of region-wide, low barrier, year-round shelter beds (including wrap-around services for securing and stabilizing housing).  Increase the availability and invent ory of permanent supportive housing and permanent affordable housing.
 Ratify a plan for long-term sustainabili ty by bringing funding to the task force and its projects.

Countywide: 2022 We All Count Report, San Diego Regional Taskforce on Homelessness Compared to the overall population of San Diego County, homelessness disproportionately impacts people of colo r, most strikingly among Black/African Americans according to the 2022 count. Black/African Americans comprise under 5% of the general population but 24% of popu lation experiencing homelessness and for those American Indian/Alaska Natives representing 0.4% of the general population; 3% of population are experiencing home lessness. The remaining 66% identify as White.

Males experience higher rates of home lessness (65%) compared to female, transgender, and gender non-conforming groups. However, the rate of females experiencing homelessness decreased to 34% compared to 41% of the 2020 count. In El Cajon, for 2022 PITC, approximately 21% of those homeless were female and 78% are male.

There were 90 unsheltered persons that consisted of families with children in San Diego County representing 2% of the total homeless population. 43% of individuals in families with children were sheltered. In El Cajon, there was five unsheltered families and 884 sheltered, representing 82% of the homeless.

13 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
While 24% of San Diegans experiencing homelessness were over 55 in both 2020 and 2022, this year’s count showed 47% of those seniors were experiencing homelessness for the first time, with 57% having a physical disability. No specific data for El Cajon was reported in the We All Count Report.

378 individual that experience homelessness are veterans (9% of total) with 308 veterans or (7% of the total) are sheltered homeless. This is a 30% decline in veterans experiencing homelessness from 2020. In El Cajon, there were six unsheltered veterans, with 28 sheltered, representing 2% of the sheltered homeless population. 323 individuals or 8% of the unsheltered homeless are youth in San Diego County. There was 16% decline in unaccompanied youth experiencing homelessness from 2019. In El Cajon, there were 12 unsheltered youth, with 18 sheltered, representing 8% of the homeless population.

Regional Community Action Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness in San Diego According to this report produced by the Regional Task Force on Homelessness, “currently there are not enough resources to effectively make homeless in San Diego rare, brief, and one-time.” The following chart includes the needed amount of diversion services, low-barrier shelter beds, low-income affordable housing, rapid re-housing, and permanent supportive housing at both the regional and sub-regional levels for families and single adults (inc ludes sub-populations, veterans, youth (18-24) and seniors).

At-risk of Homelessness
Households at risk of homelessness are those wi th incomes below 30% AMI that lack sufficient resources or support networks to prevent homelessness, and 1) have moved more than two times due to economic reasons in the past 60 days, 2) are doubled up with another household due to economic hardship, 3) will be evicted within 21 days, 4) live in a hotel or motel without financial assistance from a nonprofit or government enti ty, 5) live in an efficiency apartment and are overcrowded, or 6) are exiting a publicly-funded institution or system of care.

Based on the HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, 8,730 renters has at least one of four severe housing prob lems. The four severe housing problems are:
incomplete kitchen facilities, incomplete plumbing facilities, more than 1.5 persons per room, and a cost burden greater than 50%. The CHAS data also indicates there are approximately 5,195

14 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
households with incomes below 30% AMI that are at risk of homelessness in the City of El Cajon.

This is due to the household paying over 50% of their income towards rent. If a household were to receive a rent increase ba sed on the maximum allowed in California, this would further increase the number of households who are at risk of becoming homeless.

Fleeing or Attempting to Flee Domestic Violence, Dating Violen ce, Sexual Assault, Stalking or Human Trafficking
According to the San Diego County Continuum of Care’s Stella P report, 14% of those homeless in the County are domestic violence survivors. Of those survivors, 21% are currently fleeing. With a 2022 PITC of 408 homeless persons, approximat ely 57 persons would be adult survivors of domestic violence, with 12 fleeing. The count of sheltered and unsheltered survivors of domestic violence does not include children in families. In calendar year 2021, based upon information from the San Diego County Co ntinuum of Care Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), there were approximately 20 persons with domestic violence history and in 6 of these instances they were persons fleeing domestic violence.

Providers of services to survivors of domestic violence indicate the number of individuals in need of shelter is likely undercounted as isolation and physical distancing mandates resulted in increased domestic violence concerns while limiting pote ntial flight from unsafe living situations.

Demographic information for this qualifying population is confidential.

Other Populations
Other populations, as defined by HOME-ARP, include those who:

1. Are currently housed and at risk of repeat homelessness;

2. Have incomes below 30% AMI and are experiencing severe housing cost burden; and

3. Otherwise meet the definition of at risk of homelessness and have incomes between 30% and 50% AMI.

Currently Housed and at Risk of Repeat Homelessness
The Continuum of Care’s Homelessness Crisis Response System 2020 Data and Performance narrative indicates that approximately 26% of individuals exiting emergency shelter, or transitional or permanent housing in any given year over a 24-month period returned to homelessness.

In calendar year 2021, based upon informatio n from the San Diego County Continuum of Care Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), for El Cajon 179 homeless clients exited into permanent housing in calendar year 2022.

At Greatest Risk of Housing Instability – Households with Incomes < 30% AMI and Experiencing Severe Housing Cost Burden
HUD CHAS 2015-2019 (ACS) data indicates there are 6,615 renter households in El Cajon with annual income less than 30% AMI t hat are at greatest risk of housing instability. All of these renter households are experiencing a housing cost burden, with 8,845 households facing a severe housing cost burden. Cost burden is defined as the ratio of housing costs to household income. For renters, housing cost is gross rent (contract rent plus utilities).

At Greatest Risk of Housing Instability – Households with Incomes 30-50% AMI That Meet HUD’s §91.5 Definition of at Risk of Homelessness
Households in this category are those with incomes between 30% and 50% AMI that lack sufficient

15 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
resources or support networks to prevent homelessness, and 1) have moved more than two times due to economic reasons in the past 60 days, 2) are doubled up with another household due to economic hardship, 3) will be evicted within 21 days, 4) live in a hotel or motel without financial assistance from a nonprofit or government enti ty, 5) live in an efficiency apartment and are overcrowded, or 6) are exiting a publicly-funded institution or system of care. The City’s 2019- 2024 Con Plan and HUD CHAS data tables provides information on households that include more than one family, household income level and overcrowding. This CHAS data indicates there are approximately 1,230 households with incomes between 30% and 50% AMI that are at risk of homelessness in El Cajon. In addition, beginning March 2, 2021, income eligible El Cajon residents were able to submit applications for rental assistance to avoid eviction through the County of San Diego’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program through March 31, 2022.

D u r i n g t h e p a s t y e a r 13,625 h o u s e h o l d s s u b m itted applications for assistance with 5,032 households assisted, all of whom with income s less than 50% AMI. A total of $43,111,091 in ERAP funds have been awarded.

Unmet Housing and Service Needs of Qualifying Populations

Describe the unmet housing and service needs of qualifying populations, including but not limited to:
 Sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations;
 Those currently housed populations at risk of homelessness;  Other families requiring services or housing assistance or to prevent homelessness; and,
 Those at greatest risk of housing instability or in unstable housing situations:

As reported in the most recent Point in Time Count (2022), El C ajon is home to approximately 1,123 people experiencing homelessness with shelter, and 185 people experiencing homelessness without shelter. It is largely believed that there will be an increased count of people living without shelter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has negatively impacted hundreds of households in the City of El Cajon. According to the U.S. Census 2014-2018 ACS 5-year Estimates, 61% of El Cajon renter households are cost burdened, paying more than 30% of their income toward rent. The sample size in this ACS Estimate is over 20,092 households. Using 2015- 2019 ACS data estimates, the cost burdens are more serious for those 5,865 renter households with the lowest incomes (at or below 30% of Area Median Income), with 5,195 severely cost burdened households (paying more than 50% of their income toward r ent). These significant housing cost
burdens affect over 6,425 extremely low- and very low- income E l Cajon renters. The majority of San Diego County residents living with cost burdens have incomes below 50% of Area Median Income, are disproportionately people of color, and are more often older adults (65 or older) or younger adults (25 or younger).

The greatest unmet housing needs of qualifying populations are:
 Permanent rental housing that is affordable to qualifying and other populations; and  Permanent supportive rental housing that coordinates specialized services with housing that is affordable to qu alifying and other populations.

16 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan

The greatest unmet service needs of qualifying populations, including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations, currently housed populations at risk of homelessness, other families requiring services or assistance to prevent home lessness, and those at greatest risk of housing instability or in unstable housing situations are:
 Mental health;
 Navigation;
 Diversion;
 Life skills; and
 Vehicle repairs.

Additional unmet service needs of qualifying po pulations, including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations, currently housed populations at risk of homelessness, other families requiring services or assistance to prevent home lessness, and those at greatest risk of housing instability or in unstable housing situations include the following as described in HUD CPD Notices 22-13 and 21-10, as may be amended:
 Case management;
 Child care;
 Education services;
 Employment assistance and job training;
 Meal or grocery assistance;
 Housing search and counseling assistance;
 Coordinated service linkage;
 Legal services;
 Outpatient health services;
 Outreach services;
 Substance abuse treatment services;
 Transportation;
 Credit repair;
 Landlord-tenant liaison services;
 Services for special populations, including trauma-informed services; and  Financial assistance to secure stable housing, such as rental application fees, security and utility deposits, and first and last month’s rent.

Current Resources Available to Assist Qualifying Populations

Identify and consider the current resources available to assist qualifying populations, including congregate and non-congregate shelter units, supportive services, TBRA, and affordable and permanent supportive rental housing:

The City of El Cajon offers a variety of resources to individuals at-risk of homelessness and experiencing homelessness through federal, state, and local programs. These programs range from vouchers for low-income families to emergency shelters for persons experiencing homelessness.

Below is a summary of each of these resources through the City’s Community Development Department:

17 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
 CDBG/HOME funding;
 Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset funding;
 Congregate beds and non-congregate shelter units;
 Supportive services;
 Affordable and Permanent Supportive Rental Housing; and  Housing Choice Vouchers/Emergency Housing Vouchers available through the County of San Diego

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) – Federal
As an entitlement grantee, the Ci ty of El Cajon receives appr oximately $1.2 million annually in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, which is intended to provide community infrastructure and resources in low-income neig hborhoods. Through its CDBG funds, the City expends the maximum available towards various public services (15%).

HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) – Federal
The HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) aims to provide direct housing solutions through housing development, rehabilitation assistance, and assistance to First Time Homebuyers. HOME is the second of the federal entitlement programs provided by HUD to the City. As an entitlement grantee, the City of El Cajon receives approximately $620,000 annually in HOME funds. With the annual entitlement, these funds can be used for developing affordable housing.

Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) – Federal
The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) receives its funding for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program from the Depa rtment of Housing and Urban Development.

HACSD is not a federal department or agency, but is a governmental or public body, created and authorized by state law to develop and operat e housing and housing programs for low-income families. HACSD enters into an Annual Contribu tions Contract with HUD to administer the program requirements on behalf of HUD. Annually, the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) develops an Administrative Plan that outlines the use of its Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program that provides approximately $23 million in federal funding to help low- income families and individuals with the cost of their rent and prevent homelessness. Typically, the tenant pays 30 percent their adjusted mo nthly income for rent and utilities and HACSD makes housing assistance payments directly to the landlord. The purpose of the program is to assist low-income individuals and families and ensure they are living in healthy, safe housing.

Approximately 12,082 vouchers are allocate d by HUD to HACSD, with 3,146 El Cajon households actively participating in the HCV program. Due to funding constraints, the HACSD cannot exceed either the allocation or the budget for its HCV program. Also, due to the high cost of housing in HACSD service area, the fund ing is usually maxed out and/or the voucher utilization rate is near 100%.

Other Special Programs:

HACSD also administers special programs to target specific populations with disproportionate risk of homelessness. These programs include the Family Unification Program, which targets families for whom the lack of housing is the primary factor prohibiting in the imminent placement of a family’s child or foster and homeless youth. Additionally, as part of HCV funding, the HACSD administered the Veterans Assi stance Supportive Housing (VASH) program

18 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
vouchers. The VASH program is a collaborative program between HUD and the U.S.

Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) to provide rental assistance to homeless veterans and offer ongoing VA case management and supportive services. Additional programs include the mainstream voucher program and the Emerge ncy Housing Voucher program (described below).

Lastly, the project-based component of the HCV Program allows rental assistance to be attached to a specific unit and/or project instead of to a particular eligible assisted family. The project may be owned by any individual, corporation, trust, partnership, non-profit entity, excluding those sanctioned from participation. A total of 207 project-based vouchers (PBVs) have been allocated throughout the County of San Diego. New project-based vouchers will be prioritized for units that will be designated for elderly or disabled families, homeless persons or families receiving supportive services, and for projects in which all PBV units in the project will be newly constructed housing.

Emergency Housing Voucher Program (EHV) – Federal via the County of San Diego The Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program is funded through the American Rescue Plan Act and assists individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness; at risk of experiencing homelessness; fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking; or were recently homeless and for whom providing rental assistance will prevent the family’s homelessness or having high risk of housing instability.

Referrals come from a partnership with the loca l Continuum of Care, Regional Task Force on Homelessness (RTFH). Housing search assistance is a required component. A minimum of 264 vouchers are allocated for EHV through the County of San Diego which serves the City of El Cajon.

Congregate Beds and Non-congregate Shelter Units
East County Transitional Living Center operates 354 beds and 80 units in congregate and non- congregate shelter/units (80 congregate shelter units, 5 emergency shelter beds, 75 transitional housing beds, and 274 non-congregate shelter beds) that includes supportive services. Congregate beds include emergency and transitional housing beds and units. Home-Start also receives funding from the City to provide motel vouchers. The number of motel vouchers varies but on average 5 rooms are used in El Cajon motels with the goal of working with clients to develop a housing plan during the stay.

In 2022, there were approximately 90 participants in the Motel Voucher program. The length of stay is 28-days and is intended to be a bridge to an appropriate housing alternative.

Participants must have an executable housing plan.

Supportive Services
The City of El Cajon is the 6th largest city in San Diego County encompassing approximately 14.5 square miles with approximately 35,003 households for a total of 105,432 residents. Supportive service availability within the City is limited. The availability of such resources is based on funding availability primarily through the County of San Diego and local non-profit social service providers, such as McAlister Institute, In terfaith Shelter Network, Home-Start, Inc., East

19 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
County Transitional Housing Living Center (ECTLC), and Crisis House (now in Santee but serving El Cajon). Other non-profit health provider s include San Ysidro Health Centers and Family Health Centers, and St. Paul’s Pace.

The City currently contracts with ECTLC and Home -Start to provide homeless services that includes homeless outreach, emergency shelter, flex funding, and motel vouchers.

Tenant-based Rental Assistance
The City of El Cajon does not operate a Tenant Based Rental Assistance program due to the limited amount of funding available. El Cajon reside nts can access the County of San Diego’s Housing Choice Voucher Program and other shallow subsidy rent programs.

Affordable and Permanent Supportive Rental Housing
There are 1,148 deed restricted affordable rental housing units funded with HOME, LIHTC, Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund, and Section 8 project-based assistance in the City. Affordable and permanent supportive housing developments in El Cajon have a three to five year waiting list. Projects with deeper affordability levels and project based vouchers typically have longer waiting list times. Supportive housing rental project wait lists and for qualified populations may be handled by the Regional Task Force on Homelessness managed Coordinated Entry System and through the County of San Diego Department of Housing and Community Development who may administer the HUD-funded project based vouchers.

According to San Diego Regional Continuum of Care HMIS Data through the Regional Task Force on the Homeless, people experiencing homelessness spend an average of 140 days in emergency shelter before exiting. In addition, housing is the main need in El Cajon and in the San Diego Region with over 11,000 individuals call ing 2-1-1 San Diego for housing assistance or affordable housing. In El Cajon, for calendar year 2022, 1,305 clients experiencing homelessness called 2-1-1 San Diego. 2-1-1 Call Center Information will be attached to the report as Exhibit A.

The At Risk/Homeless Housing Related Assistance Programs subcategory and Housing Expense Assistance are the two greatest needs for callers as well. 2-1-1 Call Center Information will be attached to the report as Exhibit B. The evid ence from the 2022 Point-in-Time Count, the San Diego Continuum of Care HMIS Data, and the 2-1-1 Call Center shows that there is a gap in permanent supportive housing for people experi encing homelessness in the San Diego Region that includes the City of El Cajon. There is a gap in access for unsheltered people experiencing homelessness to emergency shelter beds, and th ere is a gap in access for sheltered people experiencing homelessness to permanent support ive housing exits from homelessness. This

22 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
includes a gap in both tenant-based and project-based permanent supportive housing opportunities.

Tenant Based Rental Assistance Gap
There is an estimated gap of 6,425 tenant-based rental assistance vouchers for households with income less than 50% of the Area Median Income (“AMI”), $65,050 for a family of four and paying more than 50% of household income towards rent, including utilities. The number of tenant-based rental assistance vouchers was calculated using HUD’s CHAS Data Estimates (ACS 2015-2019) released on September 9, 2022 and is equal to the number of rent er households with income less than 50% of the AMI and paying more than 50% of household income for rent, including utilities.

Approximately 12,082 vouchers are allocated by HUD to the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD), with 3,146 El Cajon households actively participating in the HCV program.

Hence, there is an estimated gap of (3,146 to 6, 425) 3,279 tenant based rental assistance vouchers in El Cajon.

Affordable and Permanent Supportive Rental Housing Gap
Using HUD’s CHAS data set from 2015-2019 ACS released on September 9, 2022, there is an estimated gap of 5,195 rental units affordable to renter households with income less than 30% AMI. In addition, there is an estimated gap of 1,230 rental units affordable to renter households with income between 30% and 50% AMI that have been identi fied. The number of Affordable Rental Units needed was calculated using HUD CHAS data set that shows the number of renter households in each income category paying more than 50% of household income for rent, including utilities. Two-bedroom units
for renters with income less than 30% AMI will generally have rent, including utilities that does not to exceed $642per month. Units for renters with income between 30% and 50% AMI will generally have rent , including utilities that does not exceed $1,070/month. Permanent supportive rental housing is a subset of the affordable rental housing gap, primarily for households with income less than 30% AMI. In addition to an affordable rent, permanent supportive housing provides an array of services necessary to help people with disabilities and/or experiencing chronic homelessness to re tain housing stability. There is an estimated gap of 248 permanent supportive housing units in El Cajon. An eight unit housing complex serving formerly homeless veterans opened in 2022 lowering the gap to 240. The number of Permanent Supportive Housing units needed was calculated by multiplying the ACS 2020 5-year population estimates for El Cajon (104,393) by the per capita need (.002381) as calculated by the Corporation for
Supportive Housing.

The deficit of homes affordable and available to qualified populations presents a massive hindrance to strategies focused on connecting qualified populations to housing and shelter. In response to the pandemic, the shelter and housing ecosystem in the San Diego County region has been attempting to rapidly expand Permanent Supportive Housing and non-congregate shelter options, including through opportunistic acquisitions of existing multifamily buildings, hotels, and motels.

Service Delivery System Gaps and Methodology
To identify gaps in the servic e delivery system, the El Cajon Ho using Division consulted with 23 HOME-A
RP Allocation Plan
stakeholders and drew on its experience working with organizations in the San Diego County region. Con
sultation with stakeholders revealed numerous service delivery system gaps including navigation and case management, connecting individuals and families with employment opportunities with sufficient income to afford housing, too few rental units in general that are an affordable level based on the median household income, transportation, move- in assistance, adequate affordable child care, land lord outreach and liaison services. In addition, stakeholders discussed challenges securing consistent operating funds for general administrative costs and building capacity to undertake development activities.

According to the 2020 Census Figures, the estimated median El Cajon household income (in 2021 dollars) is $58,193, and the per capita income for the past 12-months (in 2021 dollars) is $27,235.

Also, 19.1% of the El Cajon population live belo w the federal poverty line. Using rentcafe.com, the average rent in El Cajon is $2,149, and the average apartment size is 811 square feet. Many households are paying over 50% of their household income.

Identify the characteristics of housing associated with instability and an increased risk of homelessness if the PJ will include such conditions in its definition of “other populations” as established in the HOME-ARP Notice:

In accordance with the City of El Cajon’s adopted Consolidated Plan for 2019-2024, and the 2021- 2029 Housing Element, the City uses the ACS and CHAS estimates provided by HUD to identify households living at or below 50% AMI who experience housing problems as a proxy to identify at-risk populations and subpopulations within the City. There is an estimated 5,980 households who experience at least one out of four housing problems that earn less than 30% AMI and 3,725 households that earn 30% to 50% of the Area Median Income. When combined (0-30% and 30- 50%) 9,705 households meet this characteristic of increased risk of homelessness.

Based on input from stakeholders as well as the data gathered in this needs assessment, the greatest characteristic linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness is extremely low-income (less than 30% AMI) renters who are experiencing at least one housing problem and are living on a fixed-income. 2015-2019 CHAS data shows 5,980 households meet this characteristic of increased risk of homelessness. Other characteristics include living in over- crowded housing and persons staying with friends or family (couch surfing) are often the form of housing instability that can escalate to staying in a car, tent, or shelter or other places no meant for human habitation.

Priority Needs for Qualifying Populations
Identify priority needs for qualifying populations:

High and rapidly escalating housing costs combin ed with rapid economic displacement in El Cajon create harmful instability for the qualified populations. It is difficult for members of qualified populations to find affordable housing of any kind in El Cajon. Whatever personal needs or challenges they are facing become exponentially worse on the streets, adding trauma and stress 24 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
to individuals surviving outside, and further overwhelming the system of programs and prov
iders. Data and experience show that investing in permanent supportive housing allows services to be accessed and for individuals to begin their own path to recovery. Without safe, quality, affordable housing, our qualified populations are unable to thrive.

In Calendar Year 2022, the waiting list for those wanting to participate in the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program is shown in the Table below.

It is difficult for members of qualified populations to find affordable housing of an y kind in El Cajon. Whatever personal needs or challenges they were facing become exponentially worse on the streets, adding trauma and stress to individuals surviving outside, and further overwhelming the system of programs and providers.

Based on the data presented above, the priority housing needs for qualifying populations is the development of affordable rent al housing. Specifically, there is an urgent need for the development of both permanent supportive hous ing with wraparound services dedicated to persons experiencing homelessness and subsidized rentals dedicated to households earning less than 30% AMI.

Priority needs for qualifying populations are:
 Affordable rental housing, including permanent supportive housing;  Supportive services including:
o Housing Navigation;
o Case management;
o Child care;
o Education services;
o Employment assistance and job training;
o Meal or grocery assistance;
o Housing search and counseling assistance;
o Coordinated service linkage;

o Legal services;
o Life skills training;
o Mental health services;
o Outpatient health services;
o Outreach services;
o Substance abuse treatment services;
o Transportation, including vehicle repairs and bus passes; o Credit repair;
o Landlord-tenant liaison services;
o Services for special populations, including trauma-informed services; and o Financial assistance to secure stable housing, such as rental application fees, security and utility deposits, and first and last month’s rent.

Explain how the level of need and gaps in its shelter and housing inventory and service delivery systems based on the data presented in the plan were determined:

The City of El Cajon utilized federal, publicly available data such as the American Community Survey, the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy and its adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element and 2019-2024 Consolidated Plan. Specifically, the Point in Time Count and the Housing Inventory Count provide a picture of El Cajo n’s and the San Diego County region’s acute homelessness needs, specifically with regard s to long-term housing options. Permanent supportive housing and emergency shelter beds are at full capacity. Additionally, the City’s affordable development inventory highlights the need for additional units restricted to 30% AMI or below. The need for increased rental in ventory that support the extremely low-income and very low-income households in t h e San Diego Region, including El Cajon is critical. A significant evidence base, data, and experien ce demonstrate that in vesting in permanent supportive housing allows services to be accessed and for individuals to recover.

In conversations with both the public and stak eholders through the consultation and public comment process, concerns regarding supportive services in all development projects were raised.

Though these groups echoed the data regarding the highest need for further overall unit development but this must go hand in hand with supportive services. All groups shared that permanent supportive housing is the key to keeping individuals housed for the long-term.

Without safe, quality, affordable housing, our qualified populations are unable to thrive.

26 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
SECTION 6: HOME-ARP Activities
Describe the method for soliciting applications for funding and/or selecting developers, service providers, subrecipients and/or contractors and whether the PJ will administer eligible activities directly:

The Community Development Department ( C D ) wi ll solicit applications from developers, service providers, and/or subrecipient organizations to administer eligible activities and/or develop shelter and housing. A Notice of Fund s Available (NOFA) will be issued. The NOFA will, at a minimum, specify eligible applicants, eligible activities, minimum and maximum funding amounts, application thresholds and underwriting criteria, and will provide instructions on how to submit an application. In addition to soliciting applications through a HOME-ARP NOFA, the CD may provide Low and Moderate Income Asset Funds (LMIHAF) and Housing Trust Funds and other available housing funding to best leverage the availability of State, County and other housing funding.

The CD will directly oversee the planning and administration (“P&A”) of the HOME-ARP Grant. The City may use some the planning and administration funds for the following activities: underwriting services including subsidy layering reviews, environmental review, and on-going monitoring of project( s) and other eligible P&A costs.

If any portion of the PJ’s HOME-ARP administrative funds were provided to a subrecipient or contractor prior to HUD’s acceptance of the HOME-ARP allocation plan because the subrecipient or contractor is responsible for the administration of the PJ’s entire HOME-ARP grant, identify the subrecipient or contractor and describe its role and responsibilities in administering all of the PJ’s HOME-ARP program:

Additional narrative, if applicable: Not applicable
Describe how the characteristics of the shelter and housing inventory, service delivery system, and the needs identified in the gap analysis provi ded a rationale for the plan to fund eligible activities:

As demonstrated by the data and consultations with the public and interested stakeholders, as well as in innumerable other reports, the shorta ge of permanent, affordable, and/or supportive housing options in El Cajon could be considered o n e o f t h e m a n y primary causes of homelessness and the primary impediment to helping individuals and families exit homelessness. As documented in the 2019-2024 Cons olidated Plan, home prices and rents rose sharply beginning in 2015 as demand for hous ing increased due to in-migration and the economic recovery. Both rental and purchase affordability have continued to decline during the COVID-19 pandemic as supply cannot keep pace with the demand generated by continued in- migration and investor interest. According to the San Diego Region Spring 2022 Vacancy & Rental Rate Survey by the Southern California Rental Housing Association, the El Cajon vacancy rate is at 0.008%, indicative of a tight rental market. Growing demand for housing, coupled with labor and supply shortages have continued to push housing costs beyond the reach of the lowest income households. The average rent for a 1 bedroom is reported at $1,560, a 2 bedroom at $1,813, and a three bedroom at $2,016.

HUD 2015-2019 CHAS data identified 5,195 renters with income less than 30% AMI who were severely cost burdened (paying greater than 50% of their income on housing costs). An additional 1,230 renters with income between 30% and 50% are severely cost burdened. The volume of severely cost burdened renters could be reduce d through the use of HOME-ARP funds for either tenant-based rental assistance or rental housing production. However, using TBRA assistance will only serve approximately 81 beneficiaries for one year assuming the average monthly rent is $2,000 per month, tenant paid portion is $360, and the City paid portion at $1,640 without any supportive services. Using Permanent Supportive Housing will produce a minimum of 20 units as these funds can be leveraged with other funding sources such as LIHTC, Multi-Family Revenue Bonds, State MHP, and HCD’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program.

Acco
rding to the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard Univesity, the graph below shows that from 2009 to 2019 there has been a high numb er of renters paying over 50% of their income towards housing costs in the San Diego Region.

28 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan

Notes: Cost-burdened (severely cost-burdened) households pay more tha n 30% (more than 50%) of income for housing. Households with zero or negative income are assumed to have severe burdens, while households paying no cash rent are assumed to be without burdens. Monthly housing co sts include the contract r ent and utilities for renter households. For homeowners, monthl y housing costs include any m ortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and condominium or mobile home fees.

Given the shortage of available units resulting from increased demand generated by continued in-migration and investor interest, implementing a new tenant-based rental assistance program is unlikely to meet the needs of El Cajon’s most vulnerable renters. Considering the recent infusion of long-term emergency housing vouchers (EHV) directly from HUD and Project Based Vouchers (PBV) available to affordable housing developers by the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (local public housing authority), adding HOME-ARP funded short-term Tenant Based Rental Assistance vouchers would only provide a short term solution in addressing homelessness versus the longer term provided by PBV and EHV. Also, TBRA voucher holders have a difficult time finding units that are within the limits of the Payment Standard for the Program.

The addition of HOME-ARP rental units, coupled with services, could help to ease the burden of housing costs for El Cajon’s lowest-income renters who are at high risk of housing instability and homelessness or are currently experiencing homelessness and seeking opportunities for housing stability. Permanent suppo rtive rental housing could help to address the needs of El Cajon’s growing population of people experiencing chronic homelessness, seniors, and persons with disabilities who need supportive services coupled with affordable housing and those lowest income households from falling into homelessness. Ensuring that rental housing offers appropriate services will support long-term housing stab ility and decrease the lik elihood of a return to homelessness.

Accordingly, the plan to fund eligible activiti es focuses on the acquisition, construction, preservation, and/or rehabilitation of housing serving the qualified populations.

Available Resources:

Available resources to address the unsheltered and those at risk of homelessness are limited due to the amount of funding available to the City, market prices, and residential property supply.

Current resources include the following: Community Development Block Grant, Home Investment Partnership Act, and Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund. Each of these funding sources has a cap on the amount of funds that can be spent on eligible services to address homelessness. The City also leverages its general fund dollars to assist with homeless service.

29 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
HOME-ARP Production Housing Goals

Estimate the number of affordable rental housing units for qualifying populations that the PJ will produce or support with its HOME-ARP allocation:

The Community Development Department estimates approximately 20 households will be served through this allocation. These units will be maintained for occupancy by target populations for 15 years for acquisition rehabilitation projects and 20 years for new constructions projects, at a minimum. Other funding sources (e.g. LIHTC) may require a longer affordability period.

Describe the specific affordable rental housing production goal that the PJ hopes to achieve and describe how it will address the PJ’s priority needs:

The City estimates the HOME-ARP grant allocation can support the development of approximately 20 permanent housing units by pr oviding gap financing to projects leveraging other funding sources, such as the 4% and 9% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit programs, Project Based Vouchers, and other state and local affordable housing trust funds or programs.

While Projects may be funded solely with HOME-ARP dollars, this is an unlikely to provide financial feasibility for most development oppo rtunities. HOME-ARP funding is intended to provide gap financing to facilitate the develo pment of units affordable and accessible to homeless individuals with limited incomes.

Preferences
Identify whether the PJ intends to give preference to one or more qualifying populations or a subpopulation within one or more qualifying populations for any eligible activity or project:
 Preferences cannot violate any applicab le fair housing, civil rights, and nondiscrimination requirements, including but not limited to those requirements listed in 24 CFR 5.105(a).
 PJs are not required to describe specific projects to which the preferences will apply.

There will be no additional preferences unless required by other funding sources. The Community Development Department will work closely with community housing partners to affirmatively market the available housing units. Projects funded by these HOME-ARP dollars will use project- specific affirmative marketing and waitlists, and the developer/housing provider/property management company will be required to serve Qualified Popula tions based on the proportionate share of HOME-ARP invested in the development.

If a preference was identified, explain how the use of a preference or method of prioritization will address the unmet need or gap in benefits and services received by individuals and families in the qualifying population or category of qualifying population, consistent with the PJ’s needs assessment and gap analysis:

No preferences have been identified. However, the developer/housing provider/property 30 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan
management company will need to market the Section 504 units to ensure they are occupied by eligible households.

If a preference was identified, describe how the PJ will use HOME-ARP funds to address the unmet needs or gaps in benefits and services of the other qualifying populations that are not included in the preference:

No preferences have been identified. However, the developer/housing provider/property management company will need to market the Section 504 units and conduct the necessary outreach to ensure they are occupied by eligible households.

HOME-ARP Refinancing Guidelines
If the PJ intends to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily rental housing that is being rehabili tated with HOME-ARP funds, the PJ must state its HOME- ARP refinancing guidelines in accordance with 24 CFR 92.206(b). The guidelines must describe the conditions under with the PJ will refinance ex isting debt for a HOME-ARP rental project, including:
 Establish a minimum level of rehabilitation per unit or a required ratio between rehabilitation and refinancing to d
emonstrate that rehabilitation of HOME-ARP
rental housing is the primary eligible activity
The City will not utilize HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing as described in the question, and therefore we do not have any refinancing guidelines for that activity.
 Require a review of management practices to demonstrate that disinvestment in th e property
has not occurred; that the long-term needs of the project can be met; and that the feasibility of serving qualified populations for the minimum compliance period can be demonstrated.

N
ot Applicable
 State whether the new investment is being made to maintain current affordable units, create additional affordable units, or both.

Not Applicable
 Specify the required compliance period, whether it is the minimum 15 years or longer.

Not Applicable
 State that HOME-ARP funds cannot be used to refinance multifamily loans made or insured by any federal program, including CDBG.

N
ot Applicable
 Other requirements in the PJ’s guidelines, if applicable:

Q9
What unmet housing and service needs do you see among "Qualifying Populations" (people experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or otherwise at high risk of housing instability) in the City of El Cajon?
I have lived and worked in the city of El Cajon almost ten years. I had been on the section 8 list for 13 years. I have a 13 yr old daughter and a 3 year old son. In December 2021 My name finally came up on the list and I qualified (per the county’s paperwork) and then the County followed up that letter stating I did not (even though again per their numbers if did) I requested an informal hearing (February 2022) and it took them 9 months to respond to that. They told me that they made a mistake or error and that I didn’t qualify. I requested they show me proof-they told me that wasn’t possible. They encouraged at that point to contact the City of El Cajon’s Housing department because they have resources available to me. They noted that my name would be removed altogether and I would need to reapply!
Within that year I was involved in many of years domestic violence and that section 8 was my key to freedom. Finally in July of 2022 I had to have my sons father removed from my apartment and when I called the Crisis House from the Courthouse for help I was told to call back and leave a message. I tried to get in touch with them for days because of my situation and THEY DID NOT HELP ME! I contacted Legal Aid for assistance in my situation in dealing with the County and the literally told me that my situation was far to complicated but if I were need their assistance in answering to an eviction being served-they could handle that.

Q10
What gaps do you see within the current shelter and housing inventory, as well as the service delivery system in the City of El Cajon?
Please get a better organization for helping those fleeing from Domestic Violence and are one income earning households because the crisis house DOES NOT CARE! Race and social backgrounds shouldn’t be the basis of resource availability. Domestic violence doesn’t choose its victims based on such and nor should the organizations that the City has partnered with to help those that need it in the midst of critical situations.

WHY DOES THE CITY OF EL CAJON NOT HAVE ITS OWN SECTION 8 PROGRAM?

BECAUSE OF THE INDIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND CITY THE MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS IN THIS CITY ARE BEING DENIED HOUSING BENEFITS BY THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO! AND ARE BEING TOLD AND REDIRECTED TO CONTACT THE CITY CAN BECAUSE THEY CAN AND HAVE PARTNERED PROGRAMS THAT WILL HELP.
