Date: 4/22/2025
Subject: Authorization for the issuance of a purchase order to Clairmont Equipment for a MBH6 Trailer Mounted Compost and Mulch Spreader. (Cost: $166,144.40) (Joint Action Item with the Sanitary District)
OBJECTIVE
To obtain authorization from the City Council and Sanitary District Board for the purchase of one (1) FINN MBH6 Trailer Mounted Mulch and Compost Blower from Clairmont Equipment via the Sourcewell cooperative bidding contract #070821-FINN.
BACKGROUND
Under Senate Bill (SB) 1383 (2016, Lara), the City is required to obtain and use Recovered Organic Waste Products, such as mulch and compost, at a rate of 0.8 tons per resident based on the City’s population.
To assist in meeting this mandate, staff applied for a grant from CalRecycle and was awarded $451,318 in 2024. The grant funds are being used to fund the City’s procurement program and can also be used to purchase equipment related to the spreading of mulch and compost.
Additionally, Assembly Bill (AB) 2346 (2024, Le) allows jurisdictions to purchase equipment related to the use of SB 1383 mulch and compost and receive a one-time credit of up to 10% of their procurement target based on the cost of the equipment.
DISCUSSION
Park Maintenance staff has been evaluating different methods to efficiently apply mulch and compost in city parks, medians, and other public spaces. This assessment concluded that the FINN MBH6 Trailer Mounted Mulch and Compost Blower is the most effective solution for optimizing resources while minimizing staff labor requirements.
The FINN MBH6 is available for purchase under Sourcewell contract #070821-FINN. Clairmont Equipment is the exclusive distributor for this equipment in Southern California. 262
Item 154/2025
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost of the equipment to be purchased is $166,144.40. Of this amount, $119,268.00 will be funded through the CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant, which was awarded to the City in 2024. The remaining balance of $46,876.40 will be covered by the Sanitary District’s Solid Waste Fund and is already included in the fund’s adopted FY 2024-25 budget.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council and the Sanitary District Board of Directors:
Authorize the Finance Director to issue a purchase order in the amount of $166,144.40 to Clairmont Equipment for the purchase of one (1) new FINN MBH6 Trailer Mounted compost and mulch blower.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: Ursula Luna-Reynosa
Dept: City Manager Dept: Economic Development and
Housing
Date: 4/22/2025
Subject: Approval of the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan and the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Action Plan. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
To conduct a Public Hearing regarding the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan and FY 2025-26 Action Plan (Attachment No. 1), as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and authorize submittal to HUD.
BACKGROUND
In 1995, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) established the Consolidated Plan (Plan) as a comprehensive planning document for state and local governments that receive entitlement grants. The Plan is intended to assist jurisdictions in assessing their affordable housing and community development needs, analyzing local market conditions, and making data-informed investment decisions. The consolidated planning process provides a framework for a community-wide dialogue that identifies housing and community development priorities. These priorities guide the strategic allocation of funding from HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) grant programs.
Submission of the Plan is a requirement for receiving annual federal funding through key programs, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG). This requirement is mandated under Title I of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as amended.
DISCUSSION
The Plan is a three-part document that consists of: 1) the Housing and Community Development Needs Assessment, 2) the Five Year Strategic Plan, and 3) Year-One Action Plan.
328
Item 135/2025
The Housing and Community Needs Assessment provides a profile of the community and its development needs through the presentation and analysis of local demographics, housing market and inventory conditions, and an inventory of existing affordable housing.
The Five-Year Strategic Plan outlines the jurisdiction’s available community development resources and identifies its Housing and Community Development goals and priorities for the upcoming five-year period. Lastly, the Year-One Action Plan provides specific information describing the jurisdiction’s proposed programs, projects, and activities designed to address the goals and priorities outlined in the jurisdiction’s Plan. The Year-One Action Plan contains programmatic budgets for FY 2025-26.
Various methods of data collection were utilized in the preparation of the Plan, including:
surveying of residents, program beneficiaries, agencies, service providers, non-profit organizations, housing developers, and City departments. Additionally, the following documents were used for the preparation of the Plan: 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS), 2024 Orange County Homeless Count and Survey Report, 2024 Point in Time Summary Veterans for CA-602, 2024 Point in Time Summary Homeless Populations, HUD’s 2024 CoC HAP Housing Inventory Count, 2020 census data (base year), HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) 2016-2020, and the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element.
The following is a brief outline of the Housing and Community Development goals and priorities that have been identified and guide the City’s community and economic development activities over the next five years:
Provide decent and affordable housing;
Address the needs of homeless individuals and those at risk of homelessness; Provide community and supportive services;
Address public facilities and infrastructure needs;
Promote economic development employment opportunities; and Provide for planning and administration activities to address housing and community development needs in the City.
Approximately $2.9 million in HUD funds will be available during FY 2025-26. This budget includes approximately $677,348 of carryover, or previously unallocated HUD funds from prior years’ entitlement allocations, and a new entitlement allocation of $2.3 million in HUD funds, as depicted below:
329
Item 135/2025

ESG $157,000 $27,348 $184,348
Total $2,273,953 $677,348 $2,951,301
Program and funding recommendations for FY 2025-26 are based upon the Priority Objectives and input received during the public engagement period conducted during the preparation of the 2025-2030 Plan. During FY 2025-26, HUD funds will address a wide range of Garden Grove housing and community development needs as follows:
Public Services: Funding in the CDBG public service category is strictly limited by HUD regulatory formula to 15% of the total allocation, or $273,000 for FY 2025-26.

Affordable Housing: An allocation of $250,000 in HOME funds is recommended to continue tenant-based rental assistance for the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rental Transition (HEART) Program administered by Interval House.
Emergency Solutions Grant: In January 2025, the Orange County Emergency Solutions Grant Collaborative, comprised of staff from the cities of Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Irvine and Anaheim, issued a multi-year Request for Proposals for ESG funding. The FY 2025-26 proposed funding levels and projections for each eligible activity are below:
Street Outreach - Fund Volunteers of America $49,000 and StandUp for Kids $20,000 to provide outreach and essential services to 55 homeless individuals. Emergency Shelter – Fund Interval House $25,000 to provide 25 homeless individuals with shelter and essential services.

A public notice announcing the commencement of the public review and comment period was published on March 21, 2025, in the Orange County News, Viet Bao, and La Opinion. The review and comment period for the 2025-2030 Plan will end on April 22, 2025 after the scheduled Garden Grove City Council meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact to the General Fund. The proposed FY 2025-26 Action Plan will allow the City to access approximately $2.3 million in new entitlement grants from HUD, and $677,348 in unexpended prior year funds. The allocation of HUD funds effectively leverages competitive grants and the City’s General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council open the Public Hearing, accept comments, and, following discussion, take the following actions:
Direct staff to submit the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan and FY 2025-26 Action Plan to HUD for approval; and

Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 3
Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
The City of Garden Grove 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan is a planning document that identifies and develops a strategy to address critical housing and community development needs that can be addressed through federal funding sources, including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG).
This Consolidated Plan was prepared using the eCon Planning Suite system developed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The system prescribes the structure and contents of this document, following HUD's Consolidated Planning regulations.
The Consolidated Plan is comprised of the following major components:
I. An assessment of housing and community development needs based on demographic and housing market information;
II. Implementing strategies to address housing and community development needs; and
III. The Annual Action Plan outlining the City's intended uses of CDBG, ESG, and HOME funds for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
This Consolidated Plan covers the period beginning July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030, spanning five program years, and focuses on the use of three federal funding resources – CDBG, HOME, and ESG, described below.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): The primary objective of this program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for persons of lower-income. CDBG funds are relatively flexible and can be used for a wide range of activities, including housing rehabilitation, homeownership assistance, lead-based paint detection and removal, acquisition of land and buildings, construction or rehabilitation of public facilities (including shelters for the homeless and infrastructure), removal of architectural barriers to housing needs, public services, rehabilitation of commercial or industrial buildings, and loans or grants to businesses. The City of Garden Grove’s estimated annual entitlement of CDBG funds is $1,820,000.
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME): The HOME program provides federal funds for the development and rehabilitation of affordable rental and ownership housing for low- and moderate-income households. The program gives local governments the flexibility to fund a 336
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 4
wide range of affordable housing activities through housing partnerships with private industry and non-profit organizations. HOME funds can be used for activities that promote affordable rental housing and homeownership for low- and moderate-income households, including building acquisition, new construction and reconstruction, moderate or substantial rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, and tenant-based rental assistance. The City of Garden Grove’s estimated annual entitlement of HOME funds is $600,000.
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG): The ESG program provides homeless persons with basic shelter and essential supportive services, including rehabilitating or remodeling a building used as a new shelter, operations, and maintenance of a homeless facility, essential supportive services, and homeless prevention. The City of Garden Grove’s estimated annual allocation of ESG funds is approximately $157,000.
1. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview
The goals identified in this Consolidated Plan are based on the Needs Assessment and Community Survey, which are outlined below:
I. Provide Decent and Affordable Housing;
II. Address the Needs of Homeless and Those at Risk;
III. Provide Community Services;
IV. Address Public Facilities and Infrastructure Needs; V. Promote Economic Development and Employment; and
VI. Provide for Planning and Administration Activities.
These goals will be achieved through the implementation of actions associated with the following priority areas:
I. Increase, Improve, and Preserve Affordable Housing - There will be continued provision of affordable housing for lower-income households due to the high cost of housing in Garden Grove. This will be done through acquisition/rehabilitation of rental units, rehabilitation assistance to lowincome homeowners, and reduction of substandard housing conditions, including addressing lead-based paint hazards.

IV. Preserve and Improve Existing Supportive Services - The preservation and improvement of existing community supportive services for special needs groups will be a priority area, especially for special needs groups including seniors, lower income households, and youth. Anti-crime and safety programs will also be implemented to improve general safety and well-being.
V. Address Public Facilities/Infrastructure Needs - Public facilities and infrastructure improvements will be addressed through Garden Grove’s Capital Improvement Program. The City will help support improvements to public facilities and infrastructure in income-eligible areas.
VI. Promote Economic Development and Employment - Economic development and employment opportunities will be supported through various programs that will stimulate economic growth and vitality in the City.
VII. Provide for Necessary Planning and Administration - Planning and Administration activities to address housing and community development needs will be prioritized to allow effective service provision to city residents.

Narrative
The City of Garden Grove’s Economic Development and Housing Department, Neighborhood Improvement Division, is responsible for the administration and preparation of the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plans, Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report, and all other related reports.
Community Development Block Grant (CDGB) - CDBG is authorized under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Public Law 93-383, as amended 42 U.S.C.- 530.1 et seq. The Program provides annual grants to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income households. The funds are utilized for several community development projects, such as construction and improvement of public facilities and rehabilitation of housing and commercial buildings.
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) - The program provides a wide range of activities, including building, acquisition, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent, homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to low-income households. The HOME 342
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 10
program is the largest Federal block grant to state and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households.
The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) – The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 amended the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, revising the Emergency Shelter Grant Program in significant ways and renaming it the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program. This Program addressed the needs of homeless people in emergency or transitional shelters to assist people to quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness.
The Consolidated Plan – According to HUD, this is a planning document designed to help states and local jurisdictions assess their affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. Per HUD guidelines, the identification of needs and the adoption of strategies to address those needs must focus primarily on low- and moderate-income individuals and households. The Consolidated Plan must also address “special needs” identified by the federal government or locally, such as the needs of the elderly, persons with disabilities, large families, single parents, homeless individuals and families, and persons with HIV/AIDS.
In compliance with the guidelines and regulations set forth by HUD, this Consolidated Plan covers the period beginning July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030 spanning five program years. This Consolidated Plan includes the following components:
I. An assessment of the housing and community development needs and market conditions;
II. A strategy that establishes priorities for addressing the identified housing and community development needs; and
III. A one-year Action Plan that outlines the intended use of resources.
The Consolidated Plan is carried out through an Annual Action Plan, which provides a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan. Grantees report on accomplishments and progress toward Consolidated Plan goals in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). 343

1. Introduction
The City of Garden Grove implemented a comprehensive outreach program to seek community input in the development of this consolidated plan. Residents, program beneficiaries, agencies, service providers, non-profit organizations, and other city departments provided inputs required to create strategic development plans for the city’s needs for the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)).
There has been input by residents, service providers, non-profit organizations, religious institutions, other city departments, and other agencies through a community survey and public hearings. These views are incorporated into the Garden Grove 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan and its programs. A total of 140 stakeholders, including: public and assisted housing providers and developers; private and governmental agencies; and health, mental health and service agencies were directly contacted and invited to participate in the planning process for Garden Grove.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness The County of Orange Department of Housing and Community Services (HCS) coordinates the County Continuum of Care (CoC) in response to the ongoing homeless needs in the region. The City participates in the CoC. The CoC consists of local government agencies as well as non-profit agencies that work together to address homeless issues in the region. Funding is provided to local public and non-profit agencies to provide homeless services and shelter. Monthly and quarterly meetings provide an opportunity for networking and working towards the common goal. In addition, the City continues to locally participate in the County of Orange Homeless Count. Participating in these counts provides staff with a firsthand knowledge of homeless needs through direct interaction with potential recipients of homeless services. Data from the homeless count is utilized to determine homeless service needs and levels in the City. The Neighborhood Improvement and Conservation Commission is an advisory body to the City 345
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 13
Council that promotes citizen awareness, involvement, and support for neighborhood improvement and preservation for the community.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS The City of Garden Grove is one of five jurisdictions that receive ESG funds directly within the County of Orange. To this end, the city contributes to the countywide CoC providing funding to:
I. Engage homeless individuals and families living on the street; II. Improve the number and quality of emergency shelters for homeless individuals and families;
III. Help operate these shelters;
IV. Provide essential services to shelter residents;
V. Rapidly re-house homeless individuals and families; and VI. Prevent families/individuals from becoming homeless.
The City allocates the resources to sub-recipients to rehabilitate and operate emergency and transitional shelters, provide essential social services, and prevent homelessness. The City actively participates in the Orange County CoC by attending meetings to discuss how to establish performance measures that benefit the broader goals of the region. Garden Grove provides data for CoC surveys and relies heavily upon the CoC’s research and discussions to identify and address critical gaps in local care for the homeless. In doing so, the City is able to meet homeless needs in the community through assistance to providers and programs that offer emergency/transitional housing or homeless prevention services.
The Orange County CoC is the Homeless Management and Information System (HMIS) lead agency, also referred to as Orange County HMIS. This organization administers the HMIS for the region and sets a uniform standard for all homeless and at-risk service providers and agencies to submit client-level and demographic data for HUD reporting and local homeless strategies. All ESG-funded organizations enter information to the Orange County HMIS system. 346

Summary of Housing Needs
Examination of demographic characteristics can provide insight regarding the needs in a community. Understanding factors such as population growth, age characteristics, and race/ethnicity all help to identify and evaluate the need for housing, facilities, infrastructure, and services. Tracking changes in the City’s demographics can also help City leaders better respond to or anticipate changing demands.
The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy data (CHAS) developed by the Census for HUD provides detailed information on housing needs by income level and household type. Housing problems identified in the CHAS data include: 1) units with physical defects (lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities); 2) overcrowded conditions (housing units with more than one person per room); 3) housing cost burden exceeding 30% of gross income; or 4) severe housing cost burden exceeding 50% of gross income.
In Garden Grove, the types of problems vary according to household income, type, and tenure.
The following tables summarize demographic and housing statistics in Garden Grove. Small Family Households are those with 2 to 4 persons. Large Family Households have 5 or more members.
This section explores household characteristics and housing problems experienced by different income levels:

Describe the number and type of single-person households in need of housing assistance.
The City of Garden Grove has 47,837 housing units, with 25,669 of them owner-occupied and 22,168 renter-occupied.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
There were an estimated 19,294 persons with disabilities in the 2016-2020 ACS 5-year estimates, which made up approximately 63% that were not in the labor force. This number justifies the need for housing assistance because it may be probable these persons may not be mobile, hearing or vision impaired, which prevents them from obtaining employment.
What are the most common housing problems?
The most common housing problems for both renters and owners is overpayment. This can be further broken down as follows:
● Housing cost burden > 30% - 19,900 households
● Housing cost burden > 50% - 9,940 households
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? There are a total of 47,837 occupied housing units based on the 2016-2020 ACS 5-year estimates.
Approximately 15% of these housing units are single-person households. Most of these households are owner-occupied with 1,942 belonging to seniors 65 years and over. Households require mortgage assistance, especially those that belong to lower-income households (0-80% AMI). Renter households may need rent subsidies such as housing vouchers also for the lowerincome households. Also, they may both need to have accessibility features and rehabilitation assistance to maintain a good quality of housing stock. There may be a need for additional social services for persons under 18 years of age who live alone. 361

Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance
Households with incomes between 0-30% AMI generally have the least stable housing and are at the greatest risk of becoming homeless or needing to seek alternative housing such as living doubled up with friends or families. 34% of all households within Garden Grove have incomes between 0-30% AMI. Looking more specifically at this income level, 24% of all renter households between 0-30% AMI have at least one child and more than half of all renter households with children have incomes between 0-50% AMI.
Rapid rehousing programs may help these homeless individuals or families but, near the termination of that assistance, finding replacement housing is difficult for the same reasons it was difficult before becoming homeless: cost and an eviction record.
If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates:
The City of Garden Grove does not maintain estimates of at-risk populations. The Continuum of Care works with all partners to effectively use strategies to identify households and individuals at-risk of becoming homeless and implement strength-based solutions for prevention and diversion. In 2019, the CoC conducted a training with 114 homeless service providers in the County focused on this topic. The 2019 Point In Time survey included questions to better identify the specific risk factors that lead to homelessness such as loss of income, change in household status or emergency medical services. Analyzing this data, will enable the CoC to better tailor its prevention programs to address the most prevalent needs in Orange County.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
Income level is the most prevalent housing characteristic that has been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness. Other characteristics include: loss of income, history of residential instability, or change in household status.

NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has a disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction
Sections NA-15, NA-20, and NA-25 of the Needs Assessment assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole. A disproportionately greater need exists when a certain race/ethnicity experiences a housing problem at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole. For example, when evaluating 0-30% AMI households, if 50% of the households experience a housing problem, but 60% or more of a particular race/ethnicity experiences a housing problem, that racial or ethnic group has a disproportionately greater need.
Housing problems include:
1. Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or stove, or a refrigerator.
2. Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet and a bathtub or shower.
3. Overcrowding: A household is considered to be overcrowded if there are more than 1 person per room.
4. Cost burden: A household is considered cost burdened if the household pays more than 30 percent of its total gross income for housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities.
Although the purpose of these tables is to analyze the relative level of need for each race and ethnic category, the data also provides information for the jurisdiction that can be useful in describing overall needs. Disproportionate housing needs in a population are defined as having one or more of the following four housing problems in greater proportion than the jurisdiction as a whole: 1) living in housing that lacks complete kitchen facilities, 2) living in housing that lacks complete plumbing facilities, 3) more than one person per room (overcrowded), and 4) cost burden greater than 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI). 363

Introduction
The disproportionately greater need is determined when members of a particular ethnic community or race experience housing problems at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole.
Although the purpose of these tables is to analyze the relative level of need for each race and ethnic category, the data also provides information for the jurisdiction as a whole that can be useful in describing overall needs. Disproportionate housing needs in a population are defined as having one or more of the following four housing problems in greater proportion than the jurisdiction as a whole: 1) living in housing that lacks complete kitchen facilities, 2) living in housing that lacks complete plumbing facilities, 3) more than 1.5 person per room (severe overcrowded), and 4) cost burden greater than 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI). 0%-30% of Area Median Income

Introduction:
The housing cost burden refers to the percentage of income that households spend on housing.
HUD has determined that housing should cost less than 30% of a household’s total income to be considered affordable. The disproportionately greater need is determined when members of a particular ethnic community experience housing problems at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units:
Seniors, large families, persons with disabilities, veterans, victims of domestic violence, persons with HIV/AIDS, and single parents are in special need of accessible units. These populations align with characteristics of housing need, as identified by the Consolidated Plan, including but not limited to:
Seniors – Due to their fixed incomes, increasing medical needs and mobility challenges, seniors require accessible housing in close proximity to healthcare facilities and ease of transit. Seniors also need rehabilitation services to maintain and improve the condition of their housing.
Additionally, seniors often need rental assistance through housing vouchers due to their fixed incomes.
Disabled - Disabled individuals would require not only housing assistance in the form of rental and mortgage subsidies but also group housing with accessibility features that would be ideal for people with mobility issues and sensory limitations. Their housing needs will also require ease of access to transit, shopping and healthcare facilities. They may also require specialized medical care and education, especially for the developmentally disabled. Additionally, disabled individuals who have been discharged from medical/healthcare facilities might also need transitional housing.
Large Families and Families with Female Heads of Households - Large families need low-cost housing that require a minimum of 3 bedrooms to accommodate all members in the home sufficiently. This housing would need to cost lower than the Fair market rent for 3- and 4- bedroom households at $2,626 and $3,045, respectively. Families with Female Heads of Households may not only require affordable housing assistance, but those with children also need accessibility to healthcare facilities and educational institutions. Child Care assistance for those who are not of school-going age may also be required. These same needs may also apply to large families.
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders Approximately, 4,164 households require affordable housing with accessibility features. The most pressing need is the high demand for affordable housing throughout the county. This is documented by the long waitlists for public housing units and vouchers as noted above.
Beyond the need for affordable housing, residents also need additional access to service programs such as:

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)
Introduction:
The County of Orange Department of Housing and Community Services (HCS) coordinates a countywide Continuum of Care (CoC) system in response to the ongoing homeless needs in the region. The City of Garden Grove is part of the Orange County CoC, which comprises 34 cities and unincorporated areas and requires participation from the County departments and agencies, local governments, housing providers, homeless and supportive service providers, and community groups. The City of Garden Grove uses its Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) to address the homeless needs in the City in a manner that supports the countywide CoC system.
The Orange County homeless population includes families and individuals representing every race, age, group, and community in the County. As the cost of housing in the County and all of Southern California continues to rise, homelessness has become more prevalent.
Orange County’s PIT Count, branded as Everyone Counts OC, and provides a critical opportunity for the County to establish a baseline for its efforts in building a System of Care that is both comprehensive and responsive to meeting the needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness across the county.
The County and Orange County Continuum of Care conducted the 2024 PIT Count during the week of January 22, 2024, as required biennially by the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The sheltered count took place on the night of Monday, January 22, 2024, and the unsheltered count occurred from Tuesday, January 23, 2024, through Thursday, January 25, 2024.
The County of Orange 2024 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count registered 7,322 persons as homeless. Of this number, 4,074 were experiencing unsheltered homelessness and 2,557 were in a shelter. The County is divided into three service planning areas: North, Central, and South. The City of Garden Grove is located in the Central Service Planning Area (Central SPA), where there are a total of 3,454 individuals experiencing homelessness. For the 2024 PIT Count, Garden Grove registered 163 unsheltered individuals and 76 sheltered individuals, bringing a total of 239 persons as homeless. The city of Garden Grove saw its largest decline of unsheltered individuals experiencing homelessness. Garden Grove reduced the number of unsheltered individuals by 152 persons, which is a 39% reduction from the last biennial count in 2022.

If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth):
The PIT Count helps assess homelessness in the jurisdiction and provides data that can be used to address the needs of the homeless. There are two main categories of homeless persons in the Orange County 2024 PIT count under which families are counted.
I. Unsheltered Homeless – People with a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as, regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.
II. Sheltered Homeless – People who are living in a supervised publicly or privately operated shelter designated to provide temporary living arrangements (including congregate shelters, transitional housing and hotels and motels paid for by charitable organizations or by federal, state, or local government programs for low-income individuals).
The chronically homeless are also counted amongst the unsheltered and sheltered. They are persons who have either been continuously homeless for at least 12 months or have experienced at least four episodes of homelessness in the last three years where the combined occasions total at least 12 months. Approximately 2,443 adults were experiencing chronic homelessness, of which 38.44% (1,566) were unsheltered and 34.3% (877) were sheltered.
There are also three subpopulations considered in the 2024 PIT count:
I. Veterans – There were 328 veterans counted in Orange County, and 248 veterans were counted as being unsheltered while 80 veterans were counted as sheltered.
II. Seniors (62 years and older) – There were 869 seniors counted in Orange County, and 413 seniors were counted as unsheltered while 456 seniors were counted as sheltered III. Transitional Youth (Persons ages 18 to 24) – Approximately 308 transitional youth were counted as experiencing homelessness through the County, and 162 transitional youth were counted as being unsheltered while 146 were sheltered. 380

Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Groups.
There were 7,322 persons counted Countywide during the 2024 PIT Count. Of those persons, 347 families were counted as being homeless. Of this number, 443 were adults and 685 were children. In the City of Garden Grove, the 2024 PIT Count reported 239 persons experiencing homelessness, with 163 of them unsheltered and 76 sheltered. Such specific counts for families and veterans were not available at the City level.
In the Central SPA and in the City of Garden Grove, the Hispanic or Latino ethnicities have the highest amount of homelessness. This ethnicity makes up an estimated 41% of the homeless population. White individuals represent approximately 36%, the highest percentage of homeless in the Central SPA.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.
The unsheltered homeless in Orange County are counted by surveying people on the streets during the Point in Time Count. The count is conducted by volunteers using ArcGIS maps and a mobile survey application. The survey includes questions required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The data collected helps the county understand the needs of people experiencing homelessness and guide its response.
The 2024 PIT Count in Orange County found that 56% of the homeless population is unsheltered, and 4,173 people sleep on the streets. Of this number, 248 persons were Veterans, 162 persons 381

were Transitional Aged Youth between the ages of 18 to 24, and 413 seniors, which is defined as persons ages 62 and older.
The sheltered homeless in Orange County are counted in emergency shelters, transitional housing and safe haven projects. The 2024 PIT Count found 3,149 people were sheltered. There were 80 Veterans counted as being sheltered, 146 Transitional Aged Youth and 456 seniors as being sheltered.
The count found that 1,418 people were experiencing homelessness in the Central SPA and 1,581 people were experiencing homelessness in the north county. In the City of Garden Grove, the 2024 PIT Count reported 239 persons experiencing homelessness, with 163 of them unsheltered and 76 sheltered. Such specific counts for families and veterans were not available at the City level.
Discussion:
The County acknowledges that there was an increase between 2022 and 2024 PIT numbers.
Pinpointing the exact cause of the increase is a challenge given the number of variables that could influence the fluctuation of the numbers. The County does know, however, that certain resources existed in 2022 that did not exist during the 2024 PIT Count. Some of those include:
1. The Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERA). Approximately $300M in rental assistance were awarded by the County and state to Orange County residents to prevent evictions due to Covid-19.
2. The Eviction Moratorium pursuant to the Covid-19 pandemic was still in effect; the moratorium ended on May 31, 2022.
The City of Garden Grove has made a positive impact on homelessness while the County figures have gone up by doing the following:
1. Enhanced homeless services with the infusion of ESG-CV, CDBG-CV and HOME-ARP funding.
2. Implemented mobile health and mental health programs through the CalOptima and BeWell Mobile Response Units.
3. Developed its first Permanent Supportive Housing development.
4. Developed the Central Cities Navigation Center, which is a collaboration between the Cities of Garden Grove, Westminster, and Fountain Valley in an effort to address homelessness in the Central SPA.

5. Implemented TBRA Programs (HEART PROGRAM) using HOME, HOME-ARP and LMIHTF funding to support the homeless and at-risk populations.
6. Added 681 shelter beds; thereby growing the total number of shelter beds capacity to 3,920.
7. Built an additional 859 housing units between January 2022 and May 2024; of which 194 units can be attributed to the 4 additional Project Homekey sites completed between 2022 and 2024.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction:
Non-homeless special needs refer to the needs of population subgroups that have been identified by HUD as more commonly in need of housing assistance than the general population. Due to their economic, social, mental, and/or physical conditions, these populations have difficulty finding appropriate housing. These groups include:
● Seniors – Elderly and frail elderly
● Persons with disabilities
● Severe Mental Illness
● Female headed households
● Victims of domestic violence
● Persons with alcohol or drug addictions; and
● Persons with HIV/AIDS
Additionally, individual regions often contain specific subgroups that face challenges unique to the region. This section is intended to identify the nature and extent of these needs as well as strategies being implemented to address these needs.
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
Seniors
Based on the ACS 2016-2020 5-year estimates, 14.4% of the population in Garden Grove is above the age of 62. There were an estimated 2,169 owner-occupied units and around 4,765 renteroccupied units of persons from the age of 62 and over. These numbers are based on the PreCertified Local Housing Data report prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). They have limited and fixed incomes, physical limitations, disabilities and higher medical expenses. Seniors tend to live alone and are dependent on public transportation.
Persons with a Disability
An individual with a disability is defined by the American Disability Act as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment. Based on the ACS 2016-2020 5-year estimates, about 22% of the population in Garden Grove have one or more types of disabilities.
384
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 52
Persons with Developmental Disabilities
According to Section 4512 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code, a “Developmental disability” means a disability that originates before an individual attains age 18 years, continues, or can be expected to continue, indefinitely, and constitutes a substantial disability for that individual which includes mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and autism. In Garden Grove, 37,189 residents live with disabilities, making up 23.6 percent of the population.
Impairment that prevents or impedes walking (ambulatory difficulty) and independent living difficulty are the largest disability types. Independent living difficulty is a result of a physical, mental, or emotional condition.
Severely Mentally ill
Severe mental illness includes a diagnosis of psychoses (e.g., schizophrenia) and major affective disorder (e.g., bipolar disorder, major depression). There are no statistics for Garden Grove on persons with severely mental illness.
Large Households
HUD defines large families as consisting of five or more persons. Lower income, large families need three-, four- or five-bedroom housing units at affordable costs. Since housing with this number of bedrooms usually commands higher costs than smaller units, affordability is another key need of large families or households. There are 20,178 occupied housing units of 4-or more person households, which is about 40% of the total number of 50,343 occupied housing units in Garden Grove.
385
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 53
Female Head of Household
According to the ACS 2016-2020, 15.5% of all households in Garden Grove were female head of households, representing approximately 7,806 households. There were at least 5% of these households with no children. There are 2,450 owner-occupied housing units, representing 9.2% female head of households, while 22.7% of female head of households represent renter-occupied housing units, which makes up approximately 5,356 renter-occupied housing units.
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
Seniors – The City of Garden Grove recognizes the changing housing needs of its population, including the needs of aging seniors. Due to their fixed incomes, increasing medical needs and mobility challenges, seniors require accessible housing near healthcare facilities and access to public transportation. Seniors need rehabilitation services to maintain and improve the condition of their housing. Seniors often need rental assistance through housing vouchers due to their fixed income.
Disabled – Disabled residents face housing access and safety challenges. Disabled people, in many instances, are of limited incomes and often only receive income through Social Security. As such, most of their monthly income is often devoted to housing costs. They require housing assistance in the form of rental and mortgage subsidies, and also group housing with accessibility features that would be ideal for people with mobility issues and sensory limitations. Disabled persons may face difficulty finding accessible housing (housing that is made accessible to people with disabilities through the positioning of appliances and fixtures, the heights of installations and cabinets, layout of units to facilitate wheelchair movement, etc.) because of the limited number of such units. Impairment that prevents or impedes walking (ambulatory difficulty) and makes it difficult to live independently are the largest types of disabilities. Their housing needs will also require access to public transportation, shopping and healthcare facilities. Transitional housing may also be needed to disabled individuals who have been discharged from medical/healthcare facilities.
Large Families and Families with Female Heads of Households – Large households, defined by HUD as households containing five or more persons, have special housing needs due to the limited availability of adequately sized, affordable housing units. Larger units can be very expensive; as such, large households are often forced to reside in smaller, less expensive units or double-up with other families or extended families to save on housing costs, both of which may result in unit overcrowding. Given that the population of large households within Garden Grove is less than the existing housing stock for large units, existing supply may be adequate to support 386
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 54
this group. Large families need low-cost housing that require a minimum of 3 bedrooms to accommodate all members in the home. Single-parent households require special consideration and assistance because of the greater need for daycare, health care, and other services. Femaleheaded households with children tend to have lower incomes and a greater need for affordable housing, accessible daycare, and other supportive services.
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:
According to the Orange County Health Care Agency, in 2023, there were 7,044 people in Orange County who were aware of their HIV status, and 1,137 who were unaware. There were 266 new HIV diagnoses. Of the 7,043 Orange County residents aged 13 years and over living with HIV,
77.0% received HIV care, 74.6% were retained in HIV care. Of the 266 people newly diagnosed with HIV in Orange County in 2023, 80.1% were linked to care within 30 days of their diagnosis.
Blacks/African Americans had the lowest percentages of receiving care (72.6%). American Indian/Alaska Natives had the lowest percentage of being retained in care (62.5%) while Whites had the lowest percentage of being linked to care (72.8%). Percentages for Pacific Islanders and American Indian/Alaskan Natives are based on a small number of persons living with HIV.
Persons aged 46-55 years had the lowest percentages of receiving care (75.0%), being retained in care (73.2%), and being linked to care (67.6%), while persons aged 26-35 years had the lowest percentages of being linked to care.
If the PJ will establish a preference for a HOME TBRA activity for persons with a specific category of disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness), describe their unmet need for housing and services needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2) (ii)) Discussion:
The City of Garden Grove has established a HOME funded TBRA Program (HEART) that supports homeless and at-risk individuals. Given the housing cost in Orange County, this program is greatly needed to support individuals that are severely cost burdened. Many of these individuals have mental or physical disabilities and require special accommodations.
The City funds a service provider (Interval House) that serves victims of domestic violence, and assists female heads of households. While the program isn’t specific to DV victims, Interval House’s mission is centered on assisting DV victims so they are able to support the homeless, atrisk, and DV populations through the program. 387

Additionally, the City has implemented a HOME-ARP funded program that supports the homeless populations exiting the Central Cities Navigation Center.
The City leverages LMIHTF funding to provide supportive services in addition to the HOME funded rental assistance that is provided.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs.
In Garden Grove, the primary federal housing program is administered through the Garden Grove Housing Authority, providing rental subsidies to over 2,300 low-income families, primarily targeting households earning at or below 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) through HUD’s Section 8 Housing Voucher Program. The City of Garden Grove receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) to fund housing initiatives, focusing on assisting extremely low to moderate-income households earning 0-80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) with housing needs through various rental assistance and home repair initiatives. The CDBG funded Home Repair Program is designed to assist Garden Grove residents who qualify at or below the "low-income" limit, which is 80% of the Orange County area median income. Through this program, the City has assisted approximately 73 low-income residents with funds to rehabilitate their homes. The HOME funded HEART Program provides rental assistance and supportive services for literally homeless individuals and individuals at-risk of homelessness. The City has assisted approximately 180 homeless and at-risk households through the HEART Program.
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
According to the City of Garden Grove’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, over the next nine years, a total of nine assisted developments that provide 280 affordable units have expiring affordability covenants. These include developments that hold Federal Section 8 contracts and/or were financed with redevelopment set aside funds or federal programs (CDBG, HOME). Additionally, the City is working with the property owners of the Tamerlane Drive low-income housing units as they have secured financing and are now rehabilitating the units and extending the affordable 392

covenants and have secured financing and are now rehabilitating the units and extending the affordable covenants.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Based on the housing unit growth numbers, in the year 2020, there were 48,562 units available.
In the year 2022, the Census reported 49,845 units available. The number of housing units grew by 2.64% between those two years. There is a great need for additional housing units to be built throughout the City to be able to accommodate those residents in need.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
Housing Element law requires quantification of each jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need as established in the RHNA Plan prepared by the jurisdiction’s council of government (SCAG for Garden Grove). The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), in conjunction with SCAG, determined a projected housing need for the region covered by SCAG (the counties of Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, and Imperial). For the 2021-2029 planning period, the RHNA for the SCAG region is 1,341,834 new housing units. SCAG allocated this share among its constituent jurisdictions, distributing to each its own RHNA divided along income levels. The City of Garden Grove has a RHNA of 19,168 housing units to plan for in this Housing Element period 2021-2029, distributed by income group as shown in the table below.

HUD FMR and HOME Rents
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? The Fair Market Rent is determined by the housing demand and supply in an area while HOME Rent Limits are what beneficiaries of the affordable housing programs pay. HOME rents in the city are lower than the fair market rents. However, those paying high HOME rents for two or more-bedroom units are paying higher than the median contract rent. The same applies to those paying low HOME rents for 4 or more-bedroom units. This may greatly affect large families who identify as a special needs group. There may be a need to provide subsidies for development permits and fees to maintain the low cost of new units and to maintain lower rents.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
Maintenance and improvements of current housing stock is a key component of an overall housing strategy. The tables in this section provide details on the condition of housing units throughout the region by looking at factors such as age, vacancy, and the prevalence of housing problems.
As defined by HUD, the four housing problems are:
1. A home which lacks complete or adequate kitchen facilities
2. A home which lacks complete or adequate plumbing facilities
3. A home which is overcrowded (having more than one person per room)
4. A home that is cost burdened (paying 30% or more of their income towards housing costs) It is important to recognize that safe and secure housing is more than just an available physical space. The quality of the space and its ability to meet the needs of the residents is vital to housing security.
Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation":
Standard Condition: A dwelling unit which meets HUD Section 8 Housing Quality Standards (HQS) with no major defects in the structure and only minor maintenance is required. Such a dwelling unit will have the following characteristics: reliable roofs, sounds foundations, adequate and stable floors, walls, and ceilings, surfaces and woodwork that are not seriously damaged nor have paint deterioration, sound windows and doors, adequate heating, plumbing and electrical systems, adequate insulation and adequate water and sewer systems and are not overcrowded as defined by local code.
Substandard condition: A dwelling unit that does not does not meet HUD section 8 HQS, which includes lacking the following: complete plumbing, complete kitchen facilities, efficient and environmentally sound sewage removal and water supply, and heating source. Additionally, the dwelling may be overcrowded as defined by local code.
Substandard but suitable for rehabilitation: A dwelling unit, at a minimum, does not meet HQS with some of the same features as a “substandard condition” dwelling unit. This unit is likely to have deferred maintenance and may have some structural damage such as a leaking roof, deteriorated interior surfaces, and inadequate insulation. A “substandard but suitable” dwelling 396

unit, however, has basic infrastructure (including systems for clean water and adequate waste disposal) that allows for economically and physically feasible improvements and upon completion of rehabilitation meets the definition of a “standard” dwelling unit. It is important to note, a “substandard condition” and a “substandard but suitable" unit have the same elements, but the “substandard but suitable” unit are less severe in nature and can be corrected through simple rehabilitation activities.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
In the 2021-2029 Housing Element, the City of Garden Grove has made a concerted effort to encourage the maintenance, rehabilitation, and improvement of housing. The City further addresses housing maintenance and preservation through programs such as the Home Repair Program. Funding and implementation of housing programs such as rehabilitation grants have resulted in improvement of the housing stock throughout the city. The City has 20,651 owneroccupied units that were built between 1950 and 1979, which will require lead-based paint abatement and lead-safe practices. The City’s 81% of owner-occupied housing units and 73% of the City’s rental-occupied housing units are in need of housing improvements and programs that provide rehabilitation assistance.

PATH provides shelter and supportive services for up to 425 adult individuals and couples experiencing homelessness in the Central Service Planning Area (SPA). PATH provides trauma-informed services with an emphasis on stabilization, permanent housing placements and re-integration of participants back into the community.
Transitional Housing – HUD defines transitional housing as a program that is designed to provide housing and appropriate support services to homeless persons to facilitate movement to independent living within 24 months. State law requires cities to allow transitional housing as a residential use and allowed by right in all zones that allow similar residential uses, consistent with Senate Bill
2. Transitional housing is a type of supportive housing which provides longer-term housing (up to two years), coupled with supportive services such as job training and counseling, to individuals and families who are transitioning to permanent housing. The City defines transitional housing in the Garden Grove Municipal Code (9.04.060 Definitions) as follows: “Transitional housing” means temporary rental housing with length of stay that ranges between six months to two years for homeless individuals or families who are transitioning to permanent housing, operated under program requirements that call for the termination of assistance and recirculation of the assisted unit to another eligible program recipient at some predetermined future point in time.

The Center can shelter up to 174 adults and couples with ties to Huntington Beach. The Center provides access to vital services that will help individuals experiencing homelessness on the path towards housing security. ● There are a total of 627 transitional housing beds that serve the Central SPA where the city of Garden Grove is located.
Supportive Housing – State law requires cities to allow supportive housing as a residential use and allowed by right in all zones that allow similar residential uses, consistent with Senate Bill 2. Supportive housing is a model that is targeted to support those who have experienced long-term or chronic homelessness because of drug abuse, disabilities, or a long history of homelessness. Using a combination of affordable housing with social services for individuals and families, supportive housing programs are centered on efforts to permanently keep those in the program from becoming homeless again. For FY 2021-22 and beyond, it is the City’s intent to utilize Federal and State funding to bolster existing efforts as well as to implement innovative, forward-thinking solutions to ending homelessness. The City of Garden Grove Comprehensive Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness (GG-CSPAH) serves as a roadmap with goals, one being to increase production of and access to affordable and supportive housing. The City will leverage regional, State and Federal housing resources to promote development of Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) to support literally homeless households. The City has negotiated with American Family Housing (AFH) to produce the City’s first PSH project utilizing mainstream vouchers. The City administered SB2 grant in the amount of $310,000 to prepare, adopt, and implement plans that streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production. This has given the City the opportunity to create objective development standards for supportive housing, create development standards for conversion of hotels/motels to supportive housing, and updating multi-family residential ordinance to allow by-right supportive housing. 407

Permanent Supportive Housing – Encourage developers to include Extremely Low Income (30 percent of AMI) units with wrap-around services for the homeless. These units must be paired with either tenant-based or project-based vouchers, which limits availability.
Garden Grove’s existing Permanent Supportive Housing Program is designed to increase and preserve the supply of supportive housing for extremely low-income households. This program produces affordable housing through the acquisition and rehabilitation of existing housing units, as well as the construction of new units. In the past, the City has partnered with nonprofit organizations and housing developers to accomplish this goal. The City developed the Stuart Drive Permanent Supportive Housing Project, which opened in 2023.
This program provides rental assistance and wrap around supportive services for Garden Grove households experiencing homelessness. The program effectively turns market rate rental units into affordable units for extremely low-income households, and the supportive services work to help the household maintain that housing once the assistance lapses. 408

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d) Introduction
Special needs groups were mentioned and broken down in the Needs Assessment section above. This section outlines the facilities available to these groups in the city of Garden Grove and within Orange County.
Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs
Supportive housing services are needed for the City’s elderly, persons with disabilities, developmentally disabled persons, persons with addictions, and those living with HIV/AIDS. Elderly persons may require long-term supportive housing that includes long-term assisted living, transportation, and nursing care. While many disabled persons can live and work independently within a conventional housing environment, more severely disabled individuals require a group living environment where supervision is provided. The most severely disabled individuals may require an institutional environment where medical attention and physical therapy are provided.
Those suffering from substance abuse might require counseling or case management and a short-term housing solution while undergoing rehabilitation. Other more challenging or on-going conditions might require supportive services that include long-term assisted living, as well as transportation and nursing care. Persons with HIV are often able to live independently as advances in medical treatment enable persons with HIV to lead normal lives. However, persons living with AIDS may require long-term supportive housing as their health conditions deteriorate and impact their ability to work.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
In 2016, the County of Orange was approved through the State of California’s Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to implement the Whole Person Care (WPC) Pilot Program. WPC is a five-year project that coordinates physical health, behavioral health, and social services in a patient-centered approach. WPC aims to improve health and well-being through more efficient and effective use of resources for Medi-Cal beneficiaries struggling with homelessness. WPS coordinates hospitals, Cal Optima, community clinics, OC Health Care Agency

(HCA) behavioral health services and public health services, as well as recuperative care providers to improve access and navigation of services for the homeless population. The County’s program includes the development of WPC Connect, which alerts participating entities when a patient experiencing homelessness enters an emergency room. Upon notification of a non-urgent situation, the County’s community partner connects the individual to recuperative care or other supportive services, which may include: one on one support through a CalOptima care coordinator, coordinated entry into permanent supportive housing, linkage to mental health and substance use disorder treatment and a community referral network.
On January 1, 2022, the Whole Person Care Pilot Program transitioned to a new Medi-Cal initiative called California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM). CalAIM seeks to improve the quality of life and health outcomes of California’s most vulnerable persons by offering eligible CalOptima Members Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports Services. These services – care coordination, case management, recuperative care and housing supportive services that were available under WPC, are still available through CalOptima under CalAIM for eligible Medi-Cal Members.
In collaboration with the City of Garden Grove and Healthcare in Action, CalOptima Health has initiated Orange County’s pioneering street medicine program to offer comprehensive healthcare to individuals experiencing homelessness through a street medicine model. Healthcare in Action, under a contractual agreement, will provide primary care services to up to 200 CalOptima Health members by utilizing a medical van to navigate the Garden Grove area, reaching those residing in parks, under freeways, and other unsheltered locations. The services will encompass primary care, behavioral health, case management, and enhanced whole-person care resources, now accessible through CalAIM, a state initiative that introduces new Medi-Cal benefits including housing services.
Each year, the City of Garden Grove responds to approximately 14,500 calls related to mental health and behavioral issues. To mitigate the high volume of these calls and enhance mental health services for all residents, the City has teamed up with Be Well OC to introduce mobile mental health units. The Be Well OC Mobile Response Team in Garden Grove offers on-site assessment and stabilization for individuals facing substance abuse, psychological crises, and homelessness. The team comprises two crisis counselors from Be Well OC, who are skilled in de-escalation techniques and are adept at addressing the emotional and social well-being of their clients. These crisis counselors will offer pertinent information, referrals, transportation to services, and ongoing case management to ensure long-term success.

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment Housing regulations are enforced to ensure proper urban planning; however, these policies can be a hindrance to the growth of the housing stock. According to the City of Garden Grove’s Housing Element (2021-2029), they include the following as negative effects on affordable housing and residential investment:
Development Fees – Development fees and taxes charged by the City contribute to the cost of housing. Building, zoning, and site improvement fees can significantly add to the cost of construction and sometimes have a negative effect on the production of affordable housing. These fees include: a zone change of $2,700, planned unit development review of $4,725, and site plan review of $3,375, to name a few. A comparative analysis of building fees by the Building Industry Association of Orange County shows that Garden Grove has fees comparable to and in some cases lower than neighboring jurisdictions (Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, Stanton, and Westminster).
Development Review and Permit Processing - These are necessary steps to ensure that residential construction proceeds in an orderly manner. However, the time and cost of permit processing and review can be a constraint to housing development if they place an undue burden on the developer. The review process in Garden Grove takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks for a typical single-family project, 6 to 8 weeks for a typical multi-family project, and approximately 10 to 12 weeks for a planned unit development. To improve the permit process, the City has created its one-stop counter and streamlined process.
Environmental Review Process - Environmental factors such as the presence of sensitive biological resources and habitats or geological hazards can constrain residential development in a community by increasing costs and reducing the amount of land suitable for housing construction. State law (California Environmental Quality Act, California Endangered Species Act) and federal law (National Environmental Protection Act, Federal Endangered Species Act) require an environmental review of proposed discretionary projects (e.g., subdivision maps, use permits, etc.). Costs resulting from the environmental review process are added to the cost of housing. 412

Loopholes by Public Policies - The Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) was enacted in October 2019, protecting renters from paying high rents, however, the law came into effect on the 1st of January 2020 since it did not receive a two-thirds majority vote. During the 85- day waiting period, there has been a need to issue temporary eviction moratoriums across the state of California by various cities to stop the eviction of tenants due to the 30-day notice period required for eviction. This has rendered several lower-income renters homeless and in need of emergency housing.

Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? Yes, the City of Garden Grove participates in a CEDS, collaborating with the Orange County Workforce Development Board to contribute to the regional economic development plan for Orange County.
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth.
The Orange County Community Services Division (OCCS) prepares the Orange County Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy that provides the framework required for entities and projects in Orange County to be eligible to receive the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration (EDA) funding every five years. The 2024- 2029 Orange County Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS):
● Provides a comprehensive overview of Orange County’s diverse economy. ● Identifies “Red Zones” that qualify for EDA funding as well as Community Economic Resilience Fund (CERF) “Disinvested Communities”, a statewide effort similar to CEDS (see below and appendix for background) that should be given special focus and attention as they may also derive benefit from economic development and infrastructure investments in Orange County.
● Proposes goals with strategies on how best the county and its stakeholders can improve economic resiliency.
● Creates the investment roadmap and framework required for Orange County entities to be eligible to apply for and receive U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration (EDA) funding.
● Aligns closely with the current California Jobs First initiative (formerly known as the Community Economic Resilience Fund), a California state initiative of which Orange County is one of 13 regions undergoing a significant economic development planning and outreach/engagement strategy and planning effort. More on the extensive effort surrounding that initiative can be found in Appendix D, but this OC CEDS leans heavily on that research, planning, and outreach effort to formulate the OC CEDS SWOT analysis, for example, knowing that the California Jobs First initiative reached out to hundreds of 422

● Provides framework and reference points for the California State Workforce Development Board, Governor-identified Orange Region local and regional plans for the local area board, including the Orange County Workforce Development Board, as applicable.
Garden Grove’s economic development goals are closely aligned with the County’s CEDS, which are: create and retain jobs within the City, create new markets within the City, develop new construction, revitalize throughout the civic center, and build local and regional relationships to aid in the advancement of the economic development mission. The Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce is also providing resources and incentives that drive economic growth within the city.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
There are several areas in the city of Garden Grove where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated. State and federal standards for housing cost burden indicate that households spending more than 30 percent of gross annual income on housing experience a housing cost burden. Housing cost burdens occur when housing costs increase faster than household income. When a household spends more than 30 percent of its income on housing costs, it has less disposable income for other necessities such as health care, education, and daily necessities. In the event of unexpected circumstances such as loss of employment or health problems, lower-income households with a housing cost burden are more likely to become homeless or double up with other households. In Garden Grove, 44 percent of households are overpaying for housing. For low-income households, 63.7 percent overpay for housing. In all households and low-income households, renters overpay more for housing than owners.
Across Garden Grove's 21,940 renter households, 12,825 (58.5 percent) spend 30 percent or more of gross income on housing costs. Additionally, 6,710 renter households in Garden Grove (30.6 percent) spend 50 percent or more of gross income on housing costs. As one might expect, nearly 39.1 percent of lower-income households (0-80% AMI) spend a higher share of income on housing while only 4.7 percent of higher-income households (> 80% AMI) spend under 30 percent of income on housing.
For the purposes of this Consolidated Plan, "concentration" is defined as the following, consistent with HUD's guidelines for the definition in fair housing analyses:
A neighborhood of minority concentration in a Census tract or other defined geographic area in which the percentage of residents who are racial or ethnic minorities is at least 20 percentage points higher than the percentage of minority residents in the jurisdiction as a whole. For an area to be considered low-moderate income, the area must meet a threshold of over 50% of the population earning incomes that are considered to be low/moderate. When areas are both racially/ethnically concentrated, as well as LMI, HUD defines them as Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAPs).
424
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 92
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") Areas with concentrations of minority residents may have different needs, particularly in areas where recent immigrants tend to reside. Concentration, in this case, refers to the locations where racial groups live in greater frequency than the population as a whole. Racial or ethnic groups are evenly distributed in the city. The exception is for the West to Northwest portion of the city, where White households live at a greater frequency, and the East where Hispanic households represent the majority. Asian/Pacific islander households are located at a higher frequency in the Central and Southern parts of the city.
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? These neighborhoods are likely to have lower-income families earning 0-80% of the Area Median Income. These households characteristically have a fixed income and therefore lack the financing to rehabilitate their homes.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? Garden Grove strives to have community assets in all areas of the city. Schools, parks, recreational centers, shopping, libraries, public transportation, police and fire stations, are found throughout the city, including areas with concentrations of lower-income households. The city has a network of active and dedicated nonprofit organizations and community groups that work to address the housing and community development needs in these neighborhoods and the city at large. Many of the lower-income areas are located within a short distance of these organizations along major corridors.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The City continues to work closely with its partners, from nonprofit housing developers and service providers to private sector developers and other local agencies in Orange County. This ensures services and programs are delivered in an effective and efficient manner and provide assistance to those who are most in need.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate-Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)
Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.
The COVID-19 pandemic made broadband key infrastructure for both the workplace and education. While many workers have returned to the office, some have stayed home, and it appears some permanent level of remote/hybrid work is here to stay. The pandemic also drove e-commerce and virtual learning, both of which increased demand for overall internet infrastructure. As more and more parts of everyday life become increasingly digitized, from academia offering distance learning to remote work opportunities and the increased integration of internet- of-things (IOT) in household products, residents must have access to strong and reliable broadband services. Approximately 98 percent of Orange County households have a home computer and 94.5 percent have internet access.
While large parts of Orange County have high levels of broadband adoption, gaps still exist. Less than 20 percent of households have broadband internet access; while some of these areas are located in Laguna Woods, a city with a very large proportion of older residents, other pockets exist in cities such as San Juan Capistrano, Orange, Costa Mesa, and Fullerton.
Residential broadband would require either an installation of fiber optic cabling in neighborhood streets and buildings, or an expansion of wireless broadband options such high speed cellular or satellite. Access to broadband internet would enable enhanced education and digital learning, employment and economic opportunities either through remote work or the setup of home businesses, allow access to tele-health services, and access to online government services.
Areas with high percentages of older residents could benefit from more broadband access, especially as more and more health-related services become available online through telemedicine and online pharmacies. Orange County’s Office on Aging in partnership with the Social Services Agency, piloted a program, Access to Technology, aimed at older adults who have limited access to and limited experience with technology. This program offered devices, broadband services, and training for older adults in the county. In addition to these communities, improving broadband access and broadband speeds will continue to become increasingly important to nearly all facets of life – from schoolwork to job postings and social gatherings. In order to help support and drive connectivity during the pandemic, the County of Orange 426
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 94
launched their Wi-Fi on Wheels Pilot Program which helped bring free broadband connectivity to neighborhoods who lacked reliable access in the cities of Westminster and Midway City.
Additionally, this program added 33 Wi-Fi extensions at county libraries, enabling residents to sit outside with improved access to services. Following the pandemic, the State of California put in place the “Broadband for All Action Plan” aimed at closing the digital divide with three primary goals: 1) Access to high-speed internet at homes, schools, and libraries; 2) Access to affordable internet services and devices; 3) Access to digital skills and training.
Based on the ACS 5-year data from 2016-2020, 94% of households in Garden Grove have one or more types of computing devices, with 88.6% indicating they have some sort of internet subscription. Additionally, 65.4% of households have a tablet or other portable, wireless device.
In terms of affordability, 64.9% extremely low-income households have a broadband internet subscription, 0.2% have a dial-up connection while 34.9% of these households have no internet subscription. For Very low- and low-income households, 87.6% have some sort of internet connection, 0.3% have a dial up internet connection and 12.1% have no internet subscription.
Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.
Increased competition among internet providers improves the quality of services through competition as well as ensure more affordable options for broadband, particularly for lowerincome households. More households may be able to have access to better internet speeds above the recommended minimum of 25 Mbps.
The City currently has at least two service provider options for high speed internet, Spectrum Cable and AT&T or Frontier. High speed wireless providers are also available in certain parts of the City. Further competition would be ideal in hopes of further driving down the price and increasing high quality service offerings.
Alongside leveraging State funding to help improve the region’s connectivity, Orange County should continue to improve its digital infrastructure to help better attract young residents and businesses into the region. Google Fiber, a service providing 1 Gig and 2 Gig internet speeds to both residences and businesses, has become increasingly accessible in Orange County.
Continuing to support the roll out of these high-speed internet services will provide a dramatic benefit to County residents while also helping to prepare households for any future disruptions, which may lead to an increased internet usage or reliance. Closing any gaps in service and ensuring that all communities have reliable access to high-speed services could also help to improve economic, health and social equity.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.
In Garden Grove, California, the primary increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change are primarily drought, extreme heat, flooding, and earthquakes, with the potential for increased severity and frequency due to changing weather patterns, including more intense storms and prolonged dry periods; this can also lead to potential issues with water supply and increased risk of wildfires due to dry vegetation.
The City of Garden Grove has developed a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2020 pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390), and the implementing regulations set forth by the Interim Final Rule published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2002, (44 CFR §201.6) and finalized on October 31, 2007. Climate Change, though difficult to quantify, may have a high likelihood of occurrences in the city. Severe weather such as heavy rains and storms, high winds and extreme heat have extensive geographic extent and are highly likely to reoccur with limited severity.
During the early month of January 2025, a wildfire broke out in Pacific Palisades, a neighborhood in the Westside region of Los Angeles, Altadena, an unincorporated town of Los Angeles, and part of Pasadena due to the Santa Ana winds. These wildfires caused mass destruction to property, the environment, air quality, and economic instability.
In response, HUD released Notice CPD-17-06 encouraging CPD formula grantees to undertake comprehensive pre-disaster planning and use their grant funds for both immediate disaster response and long-term recovery per the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The notice provided guidance to grantees on how to use CPD formula grant programs to carry out disaster response and recovery activities. HUD also has a memorandum making available the suspensions and waivers of certain statutory and regulatory requirements associated with several Community Planning and Development (CPD) grant programs to address damage and facilitate recovery from a major disaster (the "disaster") in areas covered by a major disaster declaration under title IV of the Stafford Act, as may be amended (the "declared-disaster areas"). The memorandum also announced a simplified notification process for grantees of these programs to use the suspension and waiver flexibility of CPD statutory and regulatory requirements identified in the memo. In case of a disaster, the City will apply for the following waivers, but not limited to, per Section 122 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 USC 5321):

Description The provision of affordable housing for lower-income households is a key concern due to the high cost of housing in Garden Grove. Encouraging and facilitating the production of affordable housing allows persons of all economic segments to live in the community. The City will continue to take an active role in the production, preservation, and improvement of affordable housing through acquisition/rehabilitation of rental units, rehabilitation assistance to low-income homeowners, and abatement of substandard housing conditions, including addressing lead-based paint hazards. When funding is available, the City will support homeownership programs as a means of augmenting the City’s affordable housing stock.

Since the majority of the housing stock is older (built during the 1950s), there remains an ongoing need for housing rehabilitation activities and assistance.
Furthermore, almost a quarter of the housing units are overcrowded, which accelerates deterioration of housing. With 1,550 applicants on the Section 8 waiting list, the City recognizes the continuing demand for affordable housing and will continue to seek opportunities to increase and preserve the supply of affordable housing through rehabilitation and acquisition of properties to provide additional affordable units.
The City further addresses housing maintenance and preservation through programs such as the Home Repair Program and acquisition and rehabilitation of multifamily units. Funding and implementation of housing programs such as rehabilitation grants have resulted and will continue in improvement of target neighborhood areas. Federal funds have also facilitated the acquisition and rehabilitation of units.

Description The City will improve neighborhoods through public facilities and infrastructure improvements.

Basis for
Relative
Priority
Infrastructure improvements are CDBG-eligible activities in lower-income areas, which constitute a majority of the City. Much of the City's infrastructure, including roads and sidewalks, were built over 30 years ago and are now in need of replacement or repair. In addition, as the City is largely characterized by families with children, parks and recreational facilities are well used and in high demand.
Maintenance and improvement of the City's facilities and infrastructure is thus an important need for special needs groups in the community.
CDBG funds have been utilized in the past on a limited basis to finance street maintenance and construction of new facilities within CDBG income-eligible areas.
For the most part, however, the Public Works Department (charged with the planning and operation of capital improvements that lie within the public right-ofway) relies on General Fund monies; County, State, and Federal expenditures; and grants to fund most infrastructure improvements.

Tenant Based
Rental Assistance
(TBRA)
This federally funded program provides monthly rental assistance to qualified tenants in privately owned housing. The GGHA receives about 2,300 vouchers each year to assist households earning less than 50% of the Orange County Area Median Income (AMI). The City plans to utilize HOME funds for Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) for individuals experiencing homelessness and those at-risk of homelessness.
TBRA for NonHomeless Special
Needs
The City plans to utilize HOME funds for Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) due to the high demand of the Housing Authority’s waiting list of 1,550 applicants. The TBRA Program will be for very low- and extremely low-income households, as these households are most in need in the City, as described in the Needs Assessment.
New Unit
Production
Due to the City's lower- and moderate-income households experiencing housing cost burden, the supply of affordable housing is limited compared to the need.
Based on funding availability and allocations, the City will allocate a portion of the HOME funds to increase the supply of safe, decent, affordable housing for lower-income households (including extremely low-income households), such as seniors.
Rehabilitation The City’s housing stock is more than 30 years old. These homes face health and safety repairs that many homeowners are not able to afford to fix such repairs.
The City will provide assistance to rehabilitate single-family units and multifamily units. This will be included in the annual Action Plans.
Acquisition,
including
preservation
The City has traditionally been active in increasing and preserving the supply of affordable housing through acquisition and rehabilitation of properties. While funding resources are limited, the City has been effective in working with several nonprofit organizations and developers to produce affordable units through acquisition and rehabilitation. The City enters into these partnerships not only to preserve the supply of affordable housing in the community but also to stimulate high-quality property management and neighborhood improvement.

SP-35 Anticipated Resources - 91.215(a)(4), 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction
For the 5 years covering July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030, the City has planned for the following estimated allocations:
I. $9,100,000 million in CDBG funds;
II. $3,000,000 million in HOME funds; and
III. $785,000 in ESG funds.
Garden Grove does not receive funding under the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) programs. In estimating the amounts of funding available over this Consolidated Plan period, the City took a conservative approach to assume an annual reduction of 3 percent. Approximately $2.9 million in HOME-ARP funding will be used in the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan period to continue funding a TBRA program as well as a Permanent Supportive Housing development. The City will have spent about $100,000 in administration and TBRA through the end of FY 2026.
In terms of program income, the City anticipates an unsteady stream of program income throughout this Consolidated Plan. During the past 5 years, the level of program income received varied from $50,000 in one year to over $150,000 in the HOME Program. The City receives $200,000 in CDBG program income that is used in a revolving loan fund for the MicroBiz Program. The program income received from the repayment of business loans (CDBG) will automatically be re-programmed for loan activities in the same or similar programs from which the funds were originally provided to the extent possible. If additional program income funds are received that are not automatically reprogrammed, specific projects will be identified during the Action Plan process. 446

Table 55 - Anticipated Resources
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The housing and community development needs in Garden Grove surpass the funding available to meet those needs. Therefore, effective and efficient use of limited funds is crucial, and leveraging multiple funding sources is often necessary to achieve housing and community development objectives. Most activities to be pursued by the City with CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds will be leveraged with a variety of funding sources, including grants from state, federal, and local governments, private foundations, capital development funds, general funds, private donations of funds or services, and various other funding sources. For new construction, substantial rehabilitation, and acquisition of affordable housing, the City encourages the use of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits. For the production of affordable housing units, the City will be leveraging Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds. The City will 449
OMB Control No: 2506-0117

Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 117
continue to leverage Low-Moderate Income Housing Trust Fund (LMIHTF) funding to pay for supportive services for the HEART program.
ESG and HOME Match Requirements
Federal match requirements apply to the City’s HOME and ESG funds. The HOME program requires that for every HOME dollar spent, the City must provide a 25% match with non-federal dollars. HUD allows the City to use various resources to meet this match requirement. The HOME match obligation may be met with any of the following eligible sources:
I. Cash or cash equivalents from a non-federal source;
II. Value of donated land or real property;
III. A percentage of the proceeds of single- or multi-family housing bonds issued by a state, a state instrumentality, or local government;
IV. Value of donated materials, equipment, labor, and professional services; or V. Sweat equity.
According to HOME program guidelines, no more than 25% of the City’s match liability for any one year can be met through loans to housing projects, but amounts over what may be banked as match credit for future years. The City has an excess of match funds from previous years. The ESG program requires that for each dollar of the City’s ESG grant in any given year, the City must provide a 100% match with non-federal dollars. Garden Grove will continue to require its ESG partners to leverage non-federal funds and report their successes with each quarterly performance report. ESG partners may count the following as matching resources:
I. Grants from other sources;
II. Salary paid to staff (not included in the award) to carry out the project of the recipient; III. Time contributed by volunteers; and

Table 57 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary
Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth)
To address homelessness in the community, the City of Garden Grove supports, with ESG funding, several homeless services providers that provide homeless prevention, supportive services, and emergency and transitional shelters. These include:
● Interval House - Provides domestic violence shelter for support services to 400 victims of domestic violence; provides short to medium term rental assistance for up to 24 months, including up to six months of rental arrears, to homeless individuals and families;
● Illumination Foundation - Provides emergency shelters to families; and ● VOALA - Provides street outreach and rapid rehousing services.
The City has an allocation of Emergency and Mainstream Vouchers through the Section 8 for rental assistance, but does not operate or address homelessness.
Some of the following activities that have been undertaken in recent years include:
1. VOALA- ESG funds for street outreach services to connect homeless individuals and families to essential services and housing;
2. Central Cities Navigation Center - offers low-barrier transitional emergency housing and wrap-around services to homeless individuals in Orange County's Central Service Planning Area.
3. Stuart Drive Permanent Supportive Housing Project - This program provides rental assistance and wrap around supportive services for Garden Grove households experiencing homelessness. The program effectively turns market rate rental units into affordable units for
454

extremely low-income households, and the supportive services work to help the household maintain that housing once the assistance lapses.
4. Interval House - ESG funds for essential services for victims of domestic violence, including rapid rehousing;
5. Meals on Wheels - CDBG funds for senior services to support hot lunches and delivered meals;
6. Interval House (HEART) - HOME and LMIHTF funds for tenant based rental assistance and supportive services for homeless individuals and families through the Homeless Emergency Assistance Rental Transition (HEART) Program; and
7. Illumination Foundation (HEART): HOME-ARP and LMIHTF funds for tenant based rental assistance and supportive services for homeless individuals and families through the Homeless Emergency Assistance Rental Transition (HEART) Program.
Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above Disabled residents face housing access and safety challenges. Disabled people, in many instances, are of limited incomes and often receive Social Security income only. As such, most of their monthly income is often devoted to housing costs. In addition, disabled persons may face difficulty finding accessible housing (housing that is made accessible to people with disabilities through the positioning of appliances and fixtures, the heights of installations and cabinets, layout of unit to facilitate wheelchair movement, etc.) because of the limited number of such units. While homelessness is a complex problem with many causes, the high cost of housing is a significant contributor. Rising housing costs that have exceeded growth in wages, particularly for low-income households, put Garden Grove residents at risk of housing instability and homelessness.
Services that are coordinated through the Garden Grove Housing Authority as well as the Orange County Continuum of Care Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) are able to serve these populations. Orange County 2-1-1 services are also a resource that links persons in need to different agencies that offer assistance. The greatest challenge the City continues to experience is the lack of funding resources.

Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs
To overcome gaps in Garden Grove's institutional structure and service delivery system, a strategy to address priority needs should focus on a culmination of nonprofits and local organizations, such as faith-based organizations, increased interdepartmental collaboration, community partnerships with nonprofits and local organizations, data-driven decision making, and targeted funding allocations to address the end of homelessness.
The County of Orange has coordinated a comprehensive regional Continuum of Care (CoC) that continues to develop and implement a strategy to address homelessness in Orange County since 1998. The Orange County CoC covers the Orange County jurisdiction, including 34 cities and Unincorporated Areas. As noted in CFR 24 Part 578.1, the Continuum of Care program is designed to:
● Promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness through Regional Coordination and collaboration.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
In the City’s current 2021-2029 Housing Element, it is important to note land-use controls constrain the development of multifamily rental housing, factory-built housing, mobile homes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-room occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing. Almost every zone in the Garden Grove allows for some type of housing. The Land Use Code provides a comprehensive set of review processes, with a low threshold before discretionary review is required. The following fees are noted in the Housing Element.
Development Fees – Development fees and taxes charged by the City contribute to the cost of housing. Building, zoning, and site improvement fees can significantly add to the cost of construction and sometimes have a negative effect on the production of affordable housing.
These fees include: a zone change of $2,700, planned unit development review of $4,725, and site plan review of $3,375, to name a few. A comparative analysis of building fees by the Building Industry Association of Orange County shows that Garden Grove has fees comparable to and in some cases lower than neighboring jurisdictions (Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, Stanton, and Westminster).
Development Review and Permit Processing – These are necessary steps to ensure that residential construction proceeds in an orderly manner. However, the time and cost of permit processing and review can be a constraint to housing development if they place an undue burden on the developer. The review process in Garden Grove takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks for a typical single-family project, 6 to 8 weeks for a typical multi-family project, and approximately 10 to 12 weeks for a planned unit development. To improve the permit process, the City has created its one-stop counter and streamlined process.
Environmental Review Process – Environmental factors such as the presence of sensitive biological resources and habitats or geological hazards can constrain residential development in a community by increasing costs and reducing the amount of land suitable for housing construction. State law (California Environmental Quality Act, California Endangered Species Act) and federal law (National Environmental Protection Act, Federal Endangered Species Act) require an environmental review of proposed discretionary projects (e.g., subdivision maps, use permits, etc.). Costs resulting from the environmental review process are added to the cost of housing. 463
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 131
Loopholes by Public Policies - The Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) was enacted in October 2019, protecting renters from paying high rents, however, the law came into effect on the 1st of January 2020 since it did not receive a two-thirds majority vote. During the 85-day waiting period, there has been a need to issue temporary eviction moratoriums across the state of California by various cities to stop the eviction of tenants due to the 30-day notice period required for eviction.
This has rendered several lower-income renters homeless and in need of emergency housing.
Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing Market and governmental factors pose barriers to the provision of adequate and affordable housing. These factors tend to disproportionately impact lower- and moderate-income households due to their limited resources for absorbing the costs. Garden Grove works to remove barriers to affordable housing by implementing a Housing Element that is consistent with California law and taking actions to reduce costs or provide offsetting financial incentives to assist in the production of safe, high-quality, affordable housing. The City is committed to removing governmental constraints that hinder the production of housing and offers a “one-stop” streamlined permitting process to facilitate efficient entitlement and building permit processing.
The City of Garden Grove has instituted additional actions aimed at reducing the impact of the public sector role in housing costs. City efforts to remove barriers to affordable housing include:
1. Periodical analysis and revision of the zoning code aimed at developing flexible zoning provisions in support of providing an adequate supply of desirable housing, such as mixeduse zoning standards and updates to the Housing Element;
2. Provision of affordable housing projects through acquisition and rehabilitation activities, and new construction of affordable housing units;
3. Establishing a streamlined service counter to reduce the processing time;
4. Density bonuses for affordable projects; and
5. Continued assessment of existing policies, procedures, and fees to minimize unnecessary delays and expenses to housing projects.
Also, the City will use its Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) report in coordination with other local jurisdictions. The AI has identified any potential impediments to fair housing and has established a Fair Housing Action Plan to outline steps to overcome any identified impediments.

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City is a participant of the County of Orange Continuum of Care (CoC) system. For the past several years, leadership and coordination of Orange County’s Continuum of Care planning process have been the shared responsibility of OC Partnership, 211 Orange County, and the Orange County Community Services Department. This public/nonprofit partnership helps ensure comprehensive, regional coordination of efforts and resources to reduce the number of homeless and persons at risk of homelessness throughout Orange County. This group serves as the regional convener of the year-round CoC planning process and acts as a catalyst for the involvement of the public and private agencies that make up the regional homeless system of care. The Orange County Continuum of Care system consists of six basic components:
1. Advocacy on behalf of those who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless;
2. A system of outreach, assessment, and prevention for determining the needs and conditions of an individual or family who is homeless;
3. Emergency shelters with appropriate supportive services to help ensure that homeless individuals and families receive adequate emergency shelter and referrals;
4. Transitional housing to help homeless individuals and families who are not prepared to make the transition to permanent housing and independent living;
5. Permanent housing, or permanent supportive housing to help meet the long-term needs of homeless individuals and families; and
Reducing chronic homeless in Orange County and addressing the needs of homeless families and individuals using motels to meet their housing needs.
The City of Garden Grove is committed to assisting its residents, both homeless and housed, to obtain and maintain safe, decent, and affordable housing within their communities. Garden Grove currently funds a number of activities and programs related to homelessness such as:
● Interval House - Provides domestic violence shelter for support services to 400 victims of domestic violence and short to medium term rental assistance for up to 24 months, including up to six months of rental arrears, to homeless individuals and families; 465
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 133
● Illumination Foundation - Provides emergency shelters to families and administers the HOME-ARP funded TBRA Program (HEART) along with Interval House; ● Voala - Provides street outreach and rapid rehousing services.
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Garden Grove uses ESG funds to support a variety of services and programs for the homeless (sheltered and unsheltered), consistent with the goals of the Orange County CoC. This includes funding for the Homeless Emergency Assistance Rental Transition (HEART) Program which is administered by Interval House. Most of these services and programs supported by the City include an outreach component. The emergency shelter providers mentioned in the previous paragraph, along with VOALA who serves as the City’s ESG Rapid Rehousing provider, all address the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons in the City.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
The City actively participates in the Orange County CoC by attending meetings to discuss how to establish performance measures that benefit the broader goals of the region. Some of the tasks recently undertaken by the City include: assisting with the 2024 Point in Time Count conducted by the County of Orange; development of a brochure for homeless persons that includes an inventory of local community resources; meetings with local homeless committee activists to explore potential locations in the community for homeless to shower, store items and use as a permanent address to obtain assistance. The City developed a year-round Central Cities Navigation Center (CCNC), operated by VOALA, offering low-barrier transitional emergency housing and wrap-around services to homeless individuals in Orange County's Central Service Planning Area. Located at 13871 West Street, Garden Grove, CA 92843, the CCNC occupies 18,166 square feet, with the main structure covering 11,363 square feet. The CCNC accommodates 85 beds with the capacity to expand to 100 beds. The construction for the CCNC commenced on June 13, 2023, and opened on June 5, 2024. The City continues to leverage HOME-ARP funding for a TBRA program that supports individuals exiting the CCNC. 466
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 134
The City of Garden Grove’s Housing Authority utilizes its Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, to the extent possible, to address the needs of individuals and families who are at-risk of homelessness.
Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely lowincome individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs
In Orange County, several organizations and programs work to help low-income individuals and families avoid homelessness, particularly those at risk due to discharge from a public institution or receiving assistance from agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. The two organizations most frequently involved in these efforts are the County of Orange Health Care Agency and the Mental Health Association of Orange County.
These two agencies dispatch outreach teams to cities and unincorporated areas throughout the Orange County region. The Mental Health Association of Orange County has teams of workers who also conduct outreach to the chronically homeless throughout the County. These teams are dispatched on a referral basis, as well as through the agency’s outreach schedule. Frequently, the Health Care Agency and the Mental Health Association of Orange County collaborate and coordinate activities and services for individual clients.
Since 2005 (when the planning began for the Mental Health Services Act), the Orange County Health Care Agency has partnered with several private agencies to allocate resources for the mentally ill homeless individuals, including outreach activities. This work involves comprehensive services to assist various homeless populations with mental illness, including: children, transitional age youth, adults, older adults, those dually diagnosed with co-occurring disorders, and those discharged from the Orange County jail system. The programs providing the services are:
● VOALA Street Outreach Program
● CalOptima Street Medicine Program
● Be-Well Mobile Response Unit
● Workforce Activation and Readiness Program

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards The City has an aggressive policy to identify and address lead-based paint hazards in HUD-funded housing rehabilitation projects. A licensed professional for detecting the presence of lead-based paint first inspects all housing units rehabilitated with federal funds. The City ensures lead-safe work practices are used to perform all rehabilitation where lead-based paint is identified. All homes identified as containing lead paint are tested post-rehabilitation to ensure the hazard has been mitigated.
The Home Repair Program requires lead-based paint inspections and lead safe work on all projects containing lead in the paint.
How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? The number of lead poisoning cases in Orange County is declining. This can be attributable to public outreach and education and increased public awareness of lead-based paint hazards.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? When using Federal funds, such as HUD funds, it is important that the housing units are tested for lead-based paint prior to any repairs done. When lead-based paint is found, the abatement efforts are included in the scope of the rehabilitation assistance. 468

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families Garden Grove continues to look for ways to expand economic activities to include all people, including those at or below the poverty line. In the past, the City has focused on the creation of jobs for low- and moderate-income persons through economic development in the Harbor Boulevard area. In recent years, the Jobs 1st Program was implemented as a resource for businesses to create or retain jobs. The Jobs 1st Program offered financial assistance to for-profit businesses in exchange for them to hire or retain at least one low-income full-time employee.
The Jobs 1st Program was revamped in FY 2024-25 and is now called the MicroBiz Program. It is designed to stimulate economic growth and job creation for micro-businesses in the community.
The Program provides one-on-one technical assistance and support to help each participating micro-business improve operations and increase capacity. The City also offers low-interest loans to eligible Garden Grove businesses for job creation activities. These changes were made to support businesses and the management of a revolving loan fund through CDBG loan repayments from the previous Jobs 1st Program loans. Also, the City implemented the BOOST Program in FY 2023-24 to support home-based childcare agencies in Garden Grove. The program will increase capacity in the childcare field and provide affordable childcare options to working families in Garden Grove. In addition, other essential elements of the City’s anti-poverty strategy include:
1. Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program;
2. Housing Choice Voucher Family Self Sufficiency Program;
3. Economic development programs;
4. Workforce Investment Board outreach and training programs;
5. Anti-crime programs;
6. Housing rehabilitation programs;
7. Creation of affordable housing; and
8. TBRA programs.
How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan?
Through these programs, the City is working to reduce the number of families living below the poverty line. The goals and strategies contained in this Consolidated Plan aim to fund housing, community development, and community services. In addition, the City will allocate up to 15% 469

of its CDBG funds annually to public service agencies that offer supportive services in an effort to reduce poverty.
SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
HUD uses information from the Integrated Disbursement & Information System (IDIS) to report to Congress and to monitor grantees for Community Planning and Development (CPD) activities underway across the nation. Through staff training, particularly the Community and Economic Development and Finance Departments are experienced working on HUD program financial administration and IDIS. The City continues to ensure that personnel are well equipped to improve the timeliness of HUD fund drawdowns, establish better procedures and schedules for aligning the City’s general budget planning and the HUD Action Plan process. This will also ensure proper handling of the City’s general ledger, remaining funds, and IDIS records.
Monitoring will include the review of funding applications, performance goals, and contracts, quarterly or semi-annual performance reports or audits, and an approval process for reimbursement requests. The purpose of the City’s monitoring procedures is to evaluate the following areas consistently:
1. Performance Management - Ensure that grantees and recipients are conducting their program following agreed-upon performance goals in the contract, utilizing funds only for eligible activities, and establishing that the clients are eligible for the applicable HUDfunded program (i.e., they meet income guidelines).
2. Financial Management - Ensure that grantees and recipients are adhering to all appropriate federal financial management requirements. The City’s contract manager will carefully review requests for reimbursement to make sure that costs are eligible, properly classified, and procured according to procedures and spending limits established by federal regulation and the contract budget. Also, the City will evaluate the contractor’s annual audits to ensure compliance with the applicable federal Office of Management and Budget standards.

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
For the 1-year period covering July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, the City has planned for the following allocations:
1. CDBG – $1,820,000
2. HOME –$600,000
3. ESG –$157,000
Once the annual allocations from HUD are announced, the City will use the budget breakdown that is provided in Appendix E to adjust the funding levels accordingly. Each program on the breakdown shows a percentage of the total awarded funding that each program represents. Once allocations are announced, the City will revise funding levels for CDBG, HOME and ESG according to the percentages that are represented in Appendix E. The City will utilize $450,000 in unexpended prior year CDBG funds to adjust programs that are not subject to funding caps to the approved levels in this Action Plan. Approximately $2.9 million in HOME-ARP funding will be used in the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan period to continue funding a TBRA program as well as a Permanent Supportive Housing development. The City will have spent about $100,000 in administration and TBRA through the end of FY 2026.
In terms of program income, the City anticipates an unsteady stream of program income throughout this Consolidated Plan. During the past 5 years, the level of program income received varied from $50,000 in one year to over $150,000 in the HOME Program. The City receives $200,000 in CDBG program income that is used in a revolving loan fund for the MicroBiz Program. In Program income received from the repayment of business loans (CDBG) will automatically be re-programmed for loan activities in the same or similar programs from which the funds were originally provided to the extent possible. If additional program income funds are received that are not automatically reprogrammed, specific projects will be identified during the Action Plan process. Below are the anticipated resources for FY2025-26.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The housing and community development needs in Garden Grove surpass the funding available to meet those needs. Therefore, effective and efficient use of limited funds is crucial, and leveraging multiple funding sources is often necessary to achieve housing and community development objectives. Most activities to be pursued by the City with CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds will be leveraged with a variety of funding sources, including grants from state, federal, and local governments, private foundations, capital development funds, general funds, private donations of funds or services, and various other funding sources. For new construction, substantial rehabilitation, and acquisition of affordable housing, the City encourages the use of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits. For the production of affordable housing units, the City will be leveraging Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds. The City will continue to leverage Low-Moderate Income Housing Trust Fund (LMIHTF) funding to pay for supportive services for the HEART program.
ESG and HOME Match Requirements
Federal match requirements apply to the City’s HOME and ESG funds. The HOME program requires that for every HOME dollar spent, the City must provide a 25% match with non-federal dollars. HUD allows the City to use various resources to meet this match requirement. The HOME match obligation may be met with any of the following eligible sources:
I. Cash or cash equivalents from a non-federal source;
II. Value of donated land or real property;
III. A percentage of the proceeds of single- or multi-family housing bonds issued by a state, a state instrumentality, or local government;
IV. Value of donated materials, equipment, labor, and professional services; or V. Sweat equity.
475
OMB Control No: 2506-0117
(exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 143
According to HOME program guidelines, no more than 25% of the City’s match liability for any one year can be met through loans to housing projects, but amounts over what may be banked as match credit for future years. The City has an excess of match funds from previous years. The ESG program requires that for each dollar of the City’s ESG grant in any given year, the City must provide a 100% match with non-federal dollars. Garden Grove will continue to require its ESG partners to leverage non-federal funds and report their successes with each quarterly performance report. ESG partners may count the following as matching resources:
I. Grants from other sources;
II. Salary paid to staff (not included in the award) to carry out the project of the recipient; III. Time contributed by volunteers; and
IV. The value of any donated material or building, or any lease, calculated using a reasonable method to establish a fair market value.

Introduction
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Annual Action Plan serves as the 1st year of the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan and addresses the HUD consolidated planning process for CDBG, HOME and ESG programs. This process consolidates multiple application requirements into a single submission. The Five-Year Consolidated Plan outlines proposed strategies for the expenditures of CDBG, HOME, and ESG for the purpose of providing a suitable living environment through safer, more livable neighborhoods and greater participation of lower-income residents throughout the City of Garden Grove. The Consolidated Plan also outlines how the expenditure of federal funds will increase housing opportunities, reinvestment in deteriorating neighborhoods; provide decent housing by preserving the existing affordable housing stock; increase the availability of affordable housing; increase the supply of supportive housing for those with special needs; prevent homelessness; and transition homeless persons and families into housing. Furthermore, the Action Plan identifies the strategies to expand economic opportunities through employment opportunities that pay self-sufficiency wages; homeownership opportunities; development activities that promote long-term community sustainability; and the empowerment of lower-income persons to achieve self-sufficiency.
In Program year 2025-2026, the City will address the above priorities by funding the following:

Therefore, given the extensive needs in the community, the City has not targeted any specific neighborhood for investment of CDBG and HOME funds. Instead, projects are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, while considering emergency needs, cost effectiveness, feasibility, and availability of other funding to address the specific needs.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
Homeless prevention services have been identified as a high priority need in the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan. The City plans to address the needs of homeless individuals and those at risk of homelessness through allocation of ESG funds to support local efforts that prevent and address homelessness. The City of Garden Grove also administers the Homeless Emergency Assistance Rental Transition (HEART) Program, which forms part of the Comprehensive Four-Point Approach to End Homelessness. Through HEART, a portion of a household’s rent (including security and utility deposits) is paid while offering services to achieve self-sufficiency. The program aims to assist 14 households over a 12-month period. The City will also continue to participate in the Orange County Continuum of Care System for the Homeless.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
During FY 2025-26, the City plans to fund street outreach services to reach out to unsheltered homeless people; connect them with emergency shelter, housing or critical services; and provide urgent non-facility-based care to unsheltered homeless people who are unwilling or unable to access emergency shelter, housing or an appropriate health facility.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City actively participates in the Orange County CoC by attending meetings to discuss how to establish performance measures that benefit the broader goals of the region. Consistent with the objectives of the countywide CoC, the City's Neighborhood Improvement Division has developed several strategies to address homelessness. Some of the tasks recently undertaken by the City include:
1. Point in Time Survey conducted by the County of Orange and City Net;
2. Development of a brochure for homeless persons that includes an inventory of local community resources; and
3. Collaborating with ESG entitlement jurisdictions within the County of Orange to discuss issues, concerns, and best practices for meeting the needs of the homeless population.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 161
In addition, the City addresses the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons through allocation of its ESG funds. Garden Grove will provide funding to Interval House, which provides domestic violence shelter and support services to victims of domestic violence.
In addition, VOALA, the City’s street outreach service provider will connect homeless individuals and families to local shelters and service providers.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City plans to fund Interval House to provide short to medium term rental assistance for up to 24 months, including up to six months of rental arrears, to homeless individuals and families.
Homeless individuals and families will be located in permanent housing while they are given services to increase their income. In addition, Interval House will provide housing relocation, stabilization, case management, legal services for housing needs, and credit repair assistance. All services are designed to seamlessly transition clients into suitable and stable permanent housing.
Interval House advocates are specialized in assisting clients with housing search and placement through established operational agreements with over 40 landlords. Clients may be immediately housed in local CoC shelters or access emergency homeless assistance through social services during housing search. All ineligible applicants are offered resources through 2-1-1 County.
As part of the efforts to provide housing for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness, the City of Garden Grove will award HOME & HOME-ARP funds to service providers who provide rental assistance through the HEART Program. At present, two non-profit service providers, Interval House and Illumination Foundation, administer the program. The aim is to assist households over a 12-month period through providing a portion of a household’s rent (including security and utility deposits) while offering services to achieve self-sufficiency.
Additionally, the City is expanding services going to children in the Garden Grove Unified School District who are on the McKinney-Vento list with rental assistance and wrap around services.
StandUp for Kids, Inc. is anticipated to provide 8 households with rapid rehousing and homeless 494

prevention assistance in FY 2025-26.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
StandUp for Kids, Inc. will provide street outreach, homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services in Garden Grove Unified School District (GGUSD). StandUp for Kids, Inc. coordinates services with GGUSD’s McKinney-Vento Liaisons. They also administer the Workforce Activation and Readiness Program that is CDBG funded and connects students to workforce development services. To ensure that the most vulnerable are served, eligible households will be those at imminent risk of homelessness, who fall at or below 30% AMI, and have been served a notice of eviction. There will also be continued rental assistance for persons experiencing homelessness and those at risk of being homeless through the Homeless Emergency Assistance Rental Transition (HEART) Program that Illumination Foundation and Interval House administers. The HEART Program is part of Garden Grove’s Comprehensive Four-Point Approach to End Homelessness, which provides rental assistance for persons who are homeless, and those at risk of homelessness. In addition, while receiving services, case managers from Illumination Foundation and Interval House will meet with the household receiving assistance regularly to encourage accomplishments of goals, money savings, and debt payoffs.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
Development Fees - The fees the City Charges to process and review plans for residential developments may increase the cost of building affordable housing in the jurisdiction. This may, in turn, affect rents, which may become fair market rents.
Development Review and Permit Processing - The review process for building permits can be a constraint to housing development if they place an undue burden on the developer. The longer housing projects take to be built or rehabilitated, the higher the development or rehabilitation cost may become. This could also affect the affordable housing stock due to conversion to market rents.
Environmental Review Process - Environmental factors such as the presence of sensitive biological resources and habitats or geological hazards can constrain residential development in a community by increasing costs and reducing the amount of land suitable for housing construction
Legislative Barriers - AB 1482 legislation was voted into law to prevent arbitrary rental increases on lower-income households. However, due to the 85-day waiting period before the law came into effect on the 1st of January 2020, many tenants were given eviction notices so that their homes could be converted to market rents.
Financing - Economic conditions and national policies determine interest rates for borrowing money for residential developments as well as mortgage rates. This affects the ability to purchase or rehabilitate housing due to increased costs.
Infrastructure Constraints - Public facilities, particularly drainage and sewage, need to be updated and expanded constantly to accommodate the growing number of housing units.
Deficiency in sewer capacity, as well as land designations for this essential infrastructure, reduces land that is available for housing development.
Environmental Constraints - The city of Garden Grove is located in a region with a seismic activity that may hinder the development of housing within certain areas. However, it is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Special Study Zone that would affect housing production. The AlquistPriolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act of 1972 prevents the construction of buildings used for human occupancy on the surface trace of active faults. The Act prohibits new construction of houses in California within these zones unless a comprehensive geologic investigation shows that the fault 496
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 164
does not pose a hazard to the proposed structure.
The city of Garden Grove is within a flood zone, according to The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps. According to FEMA, the term "100-year flood" refers to the flood elevation level that has a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded each year. There is a need for additional investment in flood prevention when developing residential units.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
The City of Garden Grove has instituted additional actions aimed at reducing the impact of the public sector role in housing costs. City efforts to remove barriers to affordable housing include:
● When feasible, consider reducing, waiving, or deferring development fees to facilitate the provision of affordable housing.
● Periodically review and revise City development standards to facilitate quality housing that is affordable to lower and moderate-income households. ● Monitor all regulations, ordinances, departmental processing procedures and fees related to the rehabilitation and/or construction of dwelling units to assess their impact on housing costs.
● Density bonuses for affordable projects; and
● Continued assessment of existing policies, procedures, and fees to minimize unnecessary delays and expenses to housing projects.
As a condition of receiving federal funding for the CDBG and HOME programs, cities must certify that it will affirmatively further fair housing as required by the Fair Housing Act. The Act includes policies that ensure that persons are not denied equal opportunities in connection with housing because of their race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sex, or familial status. In compliance, prior to the start of each Consolidated Plan period, Orange County prepares an Analysis of Impediments (AI) in collaboration with the City of Garden Grove as well as other cities throughout the County. The AI has identified any potential impediments to fair housing and has established a Fair Housing Action Plan to outline steps to overcome any identified impediments. 497

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
This section discusses the City’s efforts in addressing underserved needs, expanding and preserving affordable housing, reducing lead-based paint hazards, and developing institutional structure for delivering housing and community development activities.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The major obstacle to addressing underserved needs is the lack of adequate funding, especially for affordable housing activities. With reduced state and federal funding levels, the City's ability to address the extensive needs in the community is seriously compromised. The City will strive to leverage available funds to overcome obstacles in meeting underserved needs. The City continues to use its 2021-2029 Housing Element, which includes a commitment to pursue state, federal, and other funding opportunities to increase the supply of safe, decent, affordable housing in Garden Grove for lower-income households (including extremely low-income households), which includes: senior citizens, disabled, homeless, and those at risk of homelessness.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Garden Grove has several programs in place to increase and preserve the supply of affordable housing for lower-income households. One of these programs produces affordable housing through the acquisition and rehabilitation of existing housing units, as well as the construction of new units. In the past, the City has partnered with nonprofit organizations and housing developers to accomplish this goal. Increased sustainability of existing single-family housing is accomplished through the provision of grants to low-income residents and senior repairs homes.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City has an aggressive policy to identify and address lead-based paint hazards in HUD-funded housing rehabilitation projects. A licensed professional for detecting the presence of lead-based paint first inspects all housing units rehabilitated with federal funds. The City ensures lead-safe 498
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 166
work practices are used to perform all rehabilitation where lead-based paint is identified. All homes identified as containing lead paint are tested post-rehabilitation to ensure the hazard has been mitigated.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families Garden Grove continues to look for ways to expand economic activities to include all people, including those at or below the poverty line. In the past, the City has focused on the creation of jobs for low- and moderate-income persons through economic development in the Harbor Boulevard area. In recent years, the Jobs 1st Program was implemented as a resource for businesses to create or retain jobs. The Jobs 1st Program offers financial assistance to for-profit businesses in exchange for them to hire or retain at least one low-income full-time employee. In addition, other essential elements of the City’s anti-poverty strategy include:
1. Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program;
2. Housing Choice Voucher Family Self Sufficiency Program;
3. Economic development programs;
4. Workforce Investment Board outreach and training programs;
5. Anti-crime programs;
6. Housing rehabilitation programs;
7. Creation of affordable housing; and
8. Homeless service programs.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
Successful program implementation requires coordination, both internally and with outside agencies. The City makes changes, as needed, to its staff assignments to address the administrative, planning, and reporting needs of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds. Project management improvements have included strengthened project eligibility review and staff training of regulatory compliance and procedures. The City of Garden Grove Neighborhood Improvement Division of the Economic Development and Housing Department serves as the lead agency in the administration and compliance of CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs and grant management. The Neighborhood Improvement Division coordinates activities related to CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds, including coordination of internal departments, outside agencies, and grant recipients.
The City's ongoing efforts in its institutional structure include strengthening project designs through negotiating stronger and more specific performance goals for project contracts. This 499
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Consolidated Plan GARDEN GROVE 167
includes ongoing education and technical assistance for program stakeholders including fellow City Departments implementing HUD-funded programs, outside contractors, Neighborhood Improvement and Conservation Commission, City Council, and the public. The City also amended the Citizen Participation Plan to make it more readable and to officially designate the City Council as the public hearing body. Capacity building is another development component within the City's institutional structure. In addition to in-house training and development of improved management systems, the City will continue to participate in all HUD training offered locally. To gather more information, build staff knowledge, and seek regional solutions to regional problems, the City participates in regional efforts such as the Orange County Continuum of Care for the Homeless.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
Housing, supportive services, and community development activities are delivered by a number of public agencies, nonprofit entities, and private organizations. The City of Garden Grove will continue to function in a coordinating role between local non-profit service providers and other county, state, and federal organizations. To enhance coordination, the City participates in regional planning groups and forums to foster collaboration with other agencies and organizations.
Through collaboration, the City identifies common goals and strategies to avoid overlaps in services and programs and identify potential for leveraging resources. The City also continues to work with a wide range of public and community social service agencies to address the various needs of the community. The City also utilizes the services of 211 Orange County, whose mission is to help people in the community find the help they need by eliminating the barriers to finding and accessing social services.

Provide a brief summary of the data set.
Once every two years, Orange County undertakes an effort to enumerate all of the sheltered and unsheltered homeless people within the county in a given twenty-four hour period. This effort, known as the Homeless Point In Time Count, is congressionally mandated for all communities that receive U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding for homeless programs. HUD’s requirement includes a count of both sheltered and unsheltered homeless people, as well as the incidence of certain subpopulation characteristics among the homeless population.
HUD requires that the Count be conducted during the last ten days in January.
The sheltered portion of the count is extracted from data in the County’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), operated by OC Partnership, and includes all persons who occupied a shelter or transitional housing bed on the night of the count. The unsheltered portion of the count is based on a morning count and survey.
What was the purpose for developing this data set?
The results of the count and survey allow for a better understanding of who is experiencing homelessness in Orange County. At its core, the count provides data as required by HUD to enumerate and describe the homeless population in the community.
Provide the year (and optionally month, or month and day) for when the data was collected.
January 22, 2024
Briefly describe the methodology for the data collection.
The 2024 Orange County Point in Time (PIT) count uses a public places count with sampling methodology, which is one of only two methodologies appropriate for a jurisdiction of the size and urbanization of Orange County. The public places with sampling methodology counts visibly homeless people in public places and then applies a statistical formula to account for the geography not visited on the morning of the count. This count integrated an interview with counted people to extrapolate characteristics of the unsheltered population.
Concurrent with the count, surveys were administered to counted persons (adults only) who were awake, willing, and able to participate. The survey collected additional information on where the respondent was living, demographics for the respondent and his/her family, disabilities, and the length of time that the person has been homeless.

NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING
CITY OF GARDEN GROVE
NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT AND CONSERVATION COMMISSION
&
CITY COUNCIL
A public hearing will be held by Neighborhood Improvement and Conservation Commission on Monday, April 14, 2025, at 6:30 p.m., and a second public hearing will be held by the Garden Grove City Council on April 22, 2025, at 6:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the City Council Chamber, 11300 Stanford Avenue, Garden Grove, California.
The Neighborhood Improvement and Conservation Commission and City Council will consider the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in the City’s five-year Consolidated Plan (2025-2030) and one-year Action Plan for FY 2025-2026. In addition, the Neighborhood Improvement and Conservation Commission and City Council will consider the Orange County Regional Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), which is a study that evaluates fair housing issues as an individual jurisdiction and within the context of a larger region. There are 34 local jurisdictions participating in the regional AFH.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) periodically requires the City of Garden Grove to prepare and adopt a Consolidated Plan for the City’s federal grants. The Consolidated Plan is a long-term strategy for the use of the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds over the next five years (2025-2030). The Consolidated Plan identifies prioritized programs to assist the City in providing decent housing and suitable living environments, addressing community service and facility needs, and expanding economic opportunities for primarily low- and moderate-income persons.
Along with the five-year Consolidated Plan, HUD requires an annual Action Plan outlining the City’s uses of federal grant funds for one year. HUD allocates CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding to eligible jurisdictions on a formula basis, using factors such as population, income distribution, and poverty rate.
For Fiscal Year 2025-2026, Garden Grove’s estimated funding allocations are:
• $1,820,000 for CDBG
• $600,000 for HOME
• $157,000 for ESG
These funds are designed to assist the City in:
• Providing decent and affordable housing
• Providing community and supportive services
• Improving public facilities and infrastructure
• Expanding economic opportunities and anti-poverty activities The Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) examines policies, procedures, and practices within a community that may limit a person’s ability to choose their residence free from discrimination. This AFH provides an overview of laws, regulations, conditions, or other possible obstacles that may affect an individual or household’s access to housing in a community. It also presents local and regional demographic profiles, 514
assesses the extent of housing needs among specific groups, identifies existing barriers or impediments that may limit housing choice, and proposes actions to overcome those barriers.
Opportunity for Public Review and Comment
From March 21, 2025 through April 22, 2025, the proposed Draft Consolidated Plan, including the FY 2025-26 Draft Action Plan and regional AFH, will be available for public review at the following locations:
Please visit the City’s website at https://ggcity.org/neighborhoodimprovement/reports to review the Draft Consolidated Plan and FY 2025-26 Draft Action Plan, and please submit comments electronically to Tim Throne at [email protected].
Following adoption, the final Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, and AFH will be submitted to HUD and will remain available for public review throughout the program year.
Written and verbal comments will be accepted by the Economic Development and Housing Department until 4:00 p.m. on April 22, 2025. If you wish to comment verbally, you are particularly encouraged to attend the Neighborhood Improvement and Conservation Commission’s meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 14, 2025.
City Council will then hold a public hearing and consider adoption of the final Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, and AFH at its regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. on April 22, 2025.

Hay 34 jurisdicciones locales participando en el AFH regional.
El Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano de los EE. UU. (HUD, por sus siglas en inglés) periódicamente exige a la Ciudad de Garden Grove que preare y adopte un Plan Consolidado para las subvenciones federales de la Ciudad. El Plan Consolidado es una estrategia a largo plazo para el uso de los fondos de la Subvención en Bloque para Desarrollo Comunitario (CDBG, por sus siglas en inglés), Asociaciones de Inversión HOME (HOME), y la Subvención para Soluciones de Emergencia (ESG, por sus siglas en inglés) durante los próximos cinco años (2025-2030). El Plan Consolidado identifica los programas priorizados para ayudar a la Ciudad a proporcionar vivienda digna y entornos de vida adecuados, abordar las necesidades de servicio e instalaciones, y ampliar las oportunidades económicas principalmente para personas de ingresos bajos y moderados.
Junto con el Plan Consolidado de cinco años, HUD exige un Plan de Acción anual que describa el uso que la Ciudad hará de los fondos de subvenciones federales durante un año. HUD asigna los fondos de CDBG, HOME, y ESG a jurisdicciones elegibles sobre una base de fórmula, utilizando factores tales como la población, la distribución de ingresos, y la tasa de pobreza.
Para el Año Fiscal 2025-2026, las asignaciones de fondos estimados de Garden Grove son:

THÀNH PHỐ GARDEN GROVE
ỦY BAN CẢI THIỆN VÀ BẢO TỒN KHU DÂN CƯ
&
HỘI ĐỒNG THÀNH PHỐ
Một buổi điều trần công khai sẽ được tổ chức bởi Ủy ban Cải thiện và Bảo tồn Khu dân cư vào Thứ Hai, ngày 14 tháng 4 năm 2025, lúc 6:30 chiều, và một buổi điều trần công khai thứ hai sẽ được tổ chức bởi Hội đồng Thành phố Garden Grove vào ngày 22 tháng 4 năm 2025, lúc 6:30 chiều, hoặc ngay sau đó khi vấn đề có thể được xem xét, tại Phòng họp Hội đồng Thành phố, số 11300 Stanford Avenue, Garden Grove, California.
Ủy ban Cải thiện và Bảo tồn Khu dân cư và Hội đồng Thành phố sẽ xem xét việc sử dụng quỹ Trợ cấp Phát triển Cộng đồng (CDBG) trong Kế hoạch Tổng hợp năm năm (2025-2030) của Thành phố, và Kế hoạch Hành động một năm cho năm tài chính 2025-2026. Ngoài ra, Ủy ban Cải thiện và Bảo tồn Khu dân cư và Hội đồng Thành phố cũng sẽ xem xét Bản báo cáo Đánh giá Nhà ở Công bằng Khu vực Quận Cam (AFH). Đây là một nghiên cứu đánh giá các vấn đề nhà ở công bằng trong từng khu vực pháp lý riêng lẻ và trong bối cảnh khu vực rộng lớn hơn. Có 34 khu vực pháp lý địa phương tham gia vào đánh giá khu vực AFH này.
Bộ Nhà ở và Phát triển Đô thị Hoa Kỳ (HUD) định kỳ yêu cầu Thành phố Garden Grove chuẩn bị và thông qua Kế hoạch Tổng hợp cho các khoản trợ cấp liên bang của Thành phố. Kế hoạch Tổng hợp là chiến lược dài hạn cho việc sử dụng quỹ Trợ cấp Phát triển Cộng đồng (CDBG), quỹ Quan hệ Đối tác Đầu tư Nhà ở (HOME), và quỹ Trợ cấp Giải pháp Khẩn cấp (ESG) của Thành phố trong 5 năm tới (2025-2030). Kế hoạch Tổng hợp xác định các chương trình ưu tiên nhằm giúp Thành phố cung cấp nhà ở phù hợp và môi trường sống thích hợp, giải quyết nhu cầu dịch vụ cộng đồng và cơ sở vật chất, và mở rộng cơ hội kinh tế cho chủ yếu các cá nhân có thu nhập thấp và trung bình.
Cùng với Kế hoạch Tổng hợp năm năm, HUD yêu cầu Kế hoạch Hành động hàng năm nêu rõ việc sử dụng các quỹ trợ cấp liên bang của Thành phố trong một năm. HUD phân bổ các quỹ CDBG, HOME, và ESG cho các khu vực đủ điều kiện dựa trên công thức tính toán, sử dụng các yếu tố như dân số, phân bổ thu nhập, và tỷ lệ nghèo đói.
Trong năm tài chính 2025-2026, Garden Grove ước tính nhận được:
• $1,820,000 từ CDBG
• $600,000 từ HOME
• $157,000 từ ESG
517
Các quỹ này nhằm hỗ trợ Thành phố:
• Cung cấp nhà ở chất lượng và giá cả phải chăng
• Cung cấp dịch vụ cộng đồng và hỗ trợ
• Cải thiện cơ sở hạ tầng và cơ sở vật chất công cộng
• Mở rộng cơ hội kinh tế và các hoạt động giảm nghèo
Bản báo cáo Đánh giá Nhà ở Công bằng Khu vực (AFH) xem xét các chính sách, quy trình, và các thông lệ trong một cộng đồng có thể hạn chế khả năng lựa chọn nhà ở mà không bị phân biệt đối xử. AFH cung cấp tổng quan về luật pháp, quy định, điều kiện, hoặc những trở ngại có thể ảnh hưởng đến khả năng tiếp cận nhà ở của cá nhân hoặc hộ gia đình trong một cộng đồng. Báo cáo này cũng đưa ra hồ sơ nhân khẩu học địa phương và khu vực, đánh giá mức độ nhu cầu nhà ở của các nhóm dân cư cụ thể, xác định các rào cản hoặc trở ngại hiện có có thể hạn chế sự lựa chọn nhà ở, và đề xuất các biện pháp để khắc phục những rào cản đó.
CƠ HỘI XEM XÉT VÀ ĐÓNG GÓP Ý KIẾN CỦA CÔNG CHÚNG
Từ ngày 21 tháng 3 năm 2025 đến ngày 22 tháng 4 năm 2025, Dự thảo Kế hoạch Tổng hợp, bao gồm Dự thảo Kế hoạch Hành động năm tài chính 2025-2026 và Đánh giá Nhà ở Công bằng Khu vực (AFH), sẽ được công bố để công chúng xem xét tại các địa điểm sau:

Domus Development – Maurice Ramirez
How do you envision the affordable housing landscape evolving over the next 5 years in Garden Grove?
While a preponderance of funding and resources at the State level has gone to Permanent Supportive Housing and preference to very deep affordability, I am hopeful that over the next 5 years a focus on workforce housing and family housing will again resurface. I see this as a potential better alignment of goals for cities in Orange County, including Garden Grove. Frankly, a better alignment for cities statewide.
2. In your opinion what are the barriers to building more affordable housing? Funding. The affordable housing industry is not lacking for projects or developers who want to create more affordable housing, the problem is funding and unfortunately, given the State’s budget crisis, the funding problem has become worse. Programs are over 2 and 3 times oversubscribed. A super NOFA with $700 million dollars gets requests of over $2.4 Billion. Presumably, these are shovel ready projects.
NIMBYism is much less of a problem with most communities understanding the need to build more and more dense housing.
3. What are some of the meaningful actions that can be taken to more adequately address affordable housing?
Provide any surplus city owned land to the development of affordable housing. This mirrors the State’s priorities and provides added points in competitive applications.
4. Do you think home ownership is important to area residents/families? While I think that home ownership is important and part of the bedrock of many communities, I feel that home ownership should be left to the market versus using public funds to supplement the ability of a few individuals to engage in the purchase of a home. I have used different State and City programs to assist first time home buyers but have not seen the same economic impact the same amount of dollars makes in providing affordable rental apartments to a lower income family. In my opinion the public benefit that is generated by stabilizing a family or person with an apartment that they can afford is greater than a onetime investment to assist a first-time home buyer.
5. Knowing the City will be receiving approximately $2.5 M annually in CDBG and HOME funds over the next 5 years, what do you feel are the City’s Priority Needs? The City needs to develop and manage a pipeline of projects it feels best meets the City’s priorities. It needs to control the flow of those projects it wants to sponsor, by working to manage the timing of those projects and create some ability for the city to flow funding from one year to another or combine funding of several years into one project. While funding increments of $2.5 million are sizable, it may not be large enough to allow the project to be competitive when other projects are leveraging local funding that is twice and three times that. The City should pick that priority project and fund it as much as possible versus looking to seed multiple projects.

Affordable Housing Access, Inc. – Shawn Boyd, Chief Investment Officer
1. How do you envision the affordable housing landscape evolving over the next 5 years in Garden Grove?
Construction costs will increase, competitiveness for bond financing and tax credits will be more difficult to obtain, new construction project will be forced to build using traditional financing and not tax credit, the inclusion of 80% AMI projects will be necessary to serve a growing population of renters who aren’t typically considered low-income – what’s referred to as the missing middle. (people who work hard, struggle to pay their bills and afford safe and decent affordable housing with out paying 45% of their monthly income for rent)
2. In your opinion what are the barriers to building more affordable housing? High land cost, increasing construction costs, length of time to design and engineer then permit a project and the limited amount of money available as soft funds. Too much money statewide is spent on homeless housing – California’s mandate of “Housing First” isn’t working. Homeless or permanent supportive housing receive a disproportionate of sift subsidy dollars to serve a very, very small percentage of the population, is super costly and has only marginal results in reducing homelessness or chronic homelessness. The homeless epidemic is a result of addiction, not the lack of available affordable housing.
Unfortunately, too many developers have made millions of dollars building permanent supportive housing and homelessness recidivism is growing.
3. What are some of the meaningful actions that can be taken to more adequately address affordable housing?
Designate development areas using an affordable housing / residential overlay for construction in areas that are otherwise zoned C or M, pass a citywide bond measure to generate funds for affordable housing construction (not permanent supportive housing construction – I emphasize constructing housing for people who work, pay taxes and still struggle financially)
4. Do you think home ownership is important to area residents/families? Yes, homeownership is critically important. I believe small residential lots, small singlefamily home construction is overlooked (homes that are 1,200 square feet is what I consider small). After World War II, Southern California’s huge growth was largely facilitated by job growth and small residential SFR construction. Look at the homes built in LA and OC between 1945 and 1970, most of the were under 1,300 square feet. This made homes more affordable and homeownership was the very definition of the American dream.
5. Knowing the City will be receiving approximately $2.5 M annually in CDBG and HOME funds over the next 5 years, what do you feel are the City’s Priority Needs? Prioritize those funds for new construction of affordable multifamily rental product. In the years ahead most affordable residential will be 40-60 units in size. Large projects are too difficult to finance, tax credit equity investor want smaller projects with less associated risk and smaller projects create a stronger sense of community for residents. I would envision these projects being built in areas not currently zoned for residential use. 698
Affordable Housing Clearinghouse – Brenda Rodriguez, Executive Director
1. How do you envision the affordable housing landscape evolving over the next 5 years in Garden Grove?
Garden Grove has a growing number of families who endeavor to become first time homebuyers, in particular the demand from the Latino and Asian population will only continue to grow.
2. In your opinion what are the barriers to building more affordable housing? The barriers to building affordable housing include but are not limited to Cost of land, limited open space, exponential increase in cost of materials, lack of accessibility to open space, limited information to the public about the commercial space to consider for homeownerhship convergence.
3. What are some of the meaningful actions that can be taken to more adequately address affordable housing?
Since we operate in primarily affordable homeownership, increase the publics awareness of the funding that is available, ask local business to contribute to the funding pool for first time homebuyers, engage in broader campaign about the benefits of becoming a homebuyer in GG. Amplify the partnerships with nonprofits and add lenders to the approved list of providers.
4. Do you think home ownership is important to area residents/families? Absolutely, families save for years before they can adequately become mortgage ready borrowers, they lack the knowledge of the homebuyer journey, but are eager to understand resources available and often encourage their children to pursue the family goal of building wealth through homeonwerhsip or risk leaving the area they grew up calling home/my hood/my starting point/where it all began.
5. Knowing the City will be receiving approximately $2.5 M annually in CDBG and HOME funds over the next 5 years, what do you feel are the City’s Priority Needs? Encouraging the development of housing in unoccupied and commercial space that is abandoned. Presenting various housing development options for the marginalized residents. Increase access to educational resources and tapping into the broader world of AI and technology.

Sorry for the delay in responding to your email. Am I in the Homeless Services Group? I will attempt to answer your question about homeless services challenges as our church is impacted. -
For a number of years we had provided bags of hand-held foods, toothpaste and brushes, etc. to persons asking at the church front desk for these items. However, we were told by the GGPD to stop doing that because “you’re encouraging the homeless to hang out on your property.” -
Hiring a parking company to monitor use of the parking lot during evening hours has discouraged the homeless in the area from hanging out/sleeping on our property. Putting covers over water faucets has helped as well!
-
What does the city need to do to help reduce the numbers of homeless? Provide sleeping quarters for homeless during cold, rainy, or 100 degree heat days. Earlier today as I drove west on Lampson, I saw about a dozen persons resting on lawns, with bicycles behind several businesses.
-
Garden Grove needs to look at rental price limits; I know a number of people who are not jobless, but cannot afford even a rental room, never mind renting an apartment or house. -
I am not aware of any locations/organizations that provide meals to homeless persons; this needs to be addressed - and publicized if it exists.
-
Our church participated in the SHIP program for many years, providing education in how to find a job, and providing the homeless participants with evening meals and sleeping quarters for ~2 weeks at a time. This year the program has not been able to continue this service (I’m sorry but I don’t know the reason this was discontinued.)
-
Barriers to finding affordable housing? Down payments are not affordable! Houses for less than $900,000 don’t seem to exist in Garden Grove. Habitat for Humanity is a wonderful program; Garden Grove needs to find vacant lots where Habitat can build homes. -
I am not familiar with any of the acronyms you use (LMI, CDBG,HOME, and ESG funds). Please define.
-
More facilities like Wesley Village are needed. Funding and spaces for building Wesley Village type housing need to be found.
I look forward to participating in your next Zoom meeting.

City of Garden Grove Stakeholder Meeting Notes 9_10_24_Homeless Service Providers Moderator: MNS Associate Planner, Brittany Valenzuela
Participants in meeting:
(OCUW):
Orange County’s United Ways (211 Key Service, Amy Arambula, Director of Community Impact (THFS):
Thomas House Family Shelter, Shakoya Green-long, CEO & Kyler, Staff member of THFS Questions and Responses:
1. In your opinion, what are the challenges you face providing homeless services over the next 5 years?
SUMMARY #Q1: More funding towards providing affordable rental units (single occupancy), creating a streamlining homeless services/navigations service, to acquire more family shelter units, and building a larger team to administer case management for wrap-around services.
OCUW:
• Right now, the problem is that the need for affordable housing outweighs the affordable housing units available.
o (Solution: more available housing units in the City, will be a big step in the right direction)
• Streamlining homeless services/navigations services.
o We have the County Operating coordinating entry system o Cal Optima & Kaiser in the homeless space for people who are on MediCal where they are paying some of the agencies for enhanced care services in navigating homelessness and getting them into permanent supportive housing o The City most likely has their own Homelessness Plan
o How do we streamline and optimize all of these different homelessness and navigation services, avoiding creating duplication systems/efforts between each other?
o Moderator follow-up question: have the participants seen any successful pilot systems that have successfully streamlined efforts; that the City of Garden Grove helped implement/benefit?
▪ The System Navigation is their own entity, the County Lead Coordinating Entry System (CES). That system is extremely streamlined, but now adding in CalAim, MediCal, ECM services, and Community Support, it is determining a better workflow.
▪ Example: There on MediCal, with the Manage Care Plan and CAL Optima, do we start the path to connect them to enhance care management first to take some of the pressure off of the City’s Resources or the County resources?
▪ (Helpful Solution: to map out what that navigation should look like. For people who are presenting homelessness in Garden Grove!) THFS:
• The rising demand for the homeless population due to our economy, etc., leads to a greater strain on our current resources.
703
City of Garden Grove Stakeholder Meeting Notes 9_10_24_Homeless Service Providers • THFS is a small shelter with 20 units, whereas the needs of a large homeless population are much greater. While we focus on supporting the 20 families we serve, it can be challenging to understand and address the broader impact on the community beyond these families. As a result, THFS is trying to acquire more buildings to serve more families, but without more funding, this is a challenge. • THFS is focused on breaking the cycle of generational poverty, which involves addressing systemic issues and the rise of mental health challenges. By tackling these problems, we aim to serve families in the best possible ways and address their unmet needs.
OCUW: One more step after we get somebody into permanent housing, is providing the wraparound services to make sure they can be stable and stay in permanent housing.
THFS: Agrees with OCUW. the above-mentioned services—the Homeless Prevention Program that supports their Family After Program. If THFS had more people as a team to support the Family After Program follow-up visits, whether by phone call, virtual meeting, or more on-site visits, it would be difficult for Families to travel to the shelter for a meeting at times. (Ensure Families fill supported in more ways other than one). For the majority, permanent housing is in the greater Orange County area.
2. Do you know of any community facilities or public improvements needed in Garden Grove? (parks, streets, flood prone areas, ADA improvements, facilities for youth/senior) OCUW: N/A
THFS: On the Street along the shelter, many cars speed down and have caused accidents. This street is heavily used by families. Concern is Morning Side Street. (Solution: City to conduct a traffic analysis to the street & Curb Extension are often used in combination with other traffic calming measures such as speed bumps and rumple strips) 704
City of Garden Grove Stakeholder Meeting Notes 9_10_24_Homeless Service Providers
3. In your opinion what are the barriers that exist to finding permanent affordable housing? OCUW: We need to build stronger relationships with landlords to ensure they understand that tenants transitioning from homelessness are facing significant changes. It’s important for landlords to be flexible and avoid resorting to eviction notices as a first solution. The time between receiving an eviction notice and finding a solution is very short, and there are limited organizations that can provide rental assistance.
THFS: N/A (some barriers mentioned above in prior responses)
4. What are some of the meaningful actions that can be taken to more adequately address homelessness in the City?
OCUW: We need to collaborate more effectively with the homeless system to build faster connections and transition individuals from homelessness to housing. Currently, the average wait time in the Coordinated Entry System (CES) is 300 days from the initial request for help to receiving a housing unit, which is almost a year. We need to better coordinate and utilize available resources in the city to provide affordable housing units and respond more quickly to urgent housing needs.
The family CES is more responsive, with a better rate of transitioning families from homelessness to housing, thanks to the support from First 5 and other agencies that have created a network for quicker response times. This system is something the City of Garden Grove can learn from.
705
City of Garden Grove Stakeholder Meeting Notes 9_10_24_Homeless Service Providers However, individuals make up a larger portion of the homeless population, and there are not enough affordable housing units for them. Additionally, people experiencing homelessness often migrate, making it difficult for them to prove strong ties to the city, which is often required by city systems. Action: More individual affordable units and City systems that do not require “proof of strong ties” to reside in the City.
THFS: Job training plays a crucial role in the success of families. By offering job training and services on a larger scale and establishing a connection with the city, we can refer families to appropriate training programs, ensuring they receive the support they need.”
5. How can we ensure that the needs of the City’s most vulnerable populations are adequately met? (LMI families, seniors, homeless, persons w/disabilities) OCUW: N/A, actually we are seeing a trend from calls to our 211 from our Senior population at risk of experiencing homelessness or are experiencing homelessness. Same with people with disabilities because their fixed income is not enough to pay for the rent in Orange County.
THFS: N/A, but on another note, One thing people need to understand is that there is a transitional period. While we want to build all these new housing units, people who are unhoused and do not have jobs cannot afford them. What are we doing in the interim to support them in getting back on their feet and being able to afford a new housing unit? -Families also calling to need housing weather its because of domestic violence or loss of job, ect. Over this last years THFS calls for assistance have drastically increased because of some or all of the following reasons: rent moratorium changing and landlords wanting their back pay rent.
OCUW: added to THFS point above – While COVID-19 disrupted many aspects of life, it also brought additional housing resources, such as rental assistance through the ERA program and an eviction moratorium. These measures helped prevent many people from becoming homeless.
However, as we transition back to a “new normal,” these resources have diminished and are no longer available. This has led to an overall increase in the number of people at risk of homelessness and those who have actually become homeless due to the reduction in COVID-19 protections. To address this, implementing a rental assistance program with very low barriers could be valuable for the City to help prevent homelessness.
GOAL: Over the next five years, focus on providing interim support for 2-3 years while simultaneously developing 30%-60% of affordable housing units. This approach ensures that by the time individuals are ready to transition into permanent affordable housing, those units will be available. Achieving this goal will require coordinated group efforts to ensure enough housing units are built to meet the future needs of homeless populations. Ideally, affordable housing units or complexes should be designed to quickly increase availability to meet anticipated demand.
6. Do you feel there is an issue with internet access? If Yes, can you please specify area where this issue occurs?
706
City of Garden Grove Stakeholder Meeting Notes 9_10_24_Homeless Service Providers OCUW: Our connection center refers to low-cost internet through the service providers a referral source we have. For individuals experiencing homelessness that might all be sharing one phone, and it might be tied up – we always refer to local libraries.
Participants suggest we ask Garden Grove Libraries regarding this question as well.
Also it is up to the providers to build programs that are accessible as well. For Example, thinking through how we can build access to a homeless program where they do not need internet access.
THFS: N/A
7. Knowing the City will be receiving approximately $2.7M annually in CDBG, HOME and ESG funds over the next 5 years, what do you feel are the City’s Priority Needs? Moderator: There was a 30-minute time limit for the breakout room. This question was not answered directly, but the responses provided earlier may have highlighted the City’s Priority Needs. A lot of information was discussed.

Subject: [External] Re: [EXTERNAL]City of Garden Grove Stakeholder Meeting - Homeless Services Group Follow Up
Estella,
1. In your opinion what are the challenges you face providing homeless services over the next 5 years?
a. Increasing Demand: As housing costs rise and the economy gets tougher, more people might become homeless, straining our resources. a. Funding Constraints: It can be tough to get steady and enough funding. We often rely on federal and state money, which might not always cover what’s needed.
a. Coordinating Services: Working with different service providers can be tricky, and it might result in services not being well connected. a. Housing Availability: There aren’t enough affordable housing options, which makes it harder for people to move from homelessness to stable living. It also extends the amount of time it takes for housing navigation. a. Stigma and Policy Barriers: Dealing with negative attitudes and complex 709
zoning laws can slow down the creation of new shelters and affordable housing.
2. Do you know of any community facilities or public improvements needed in Garden Grove? (parks, streets, flood prone areas, ADA improvements, facilities for youth/senior)
a. I do not know of specific facilities that need improvements. However, I think expanding or improving parks to provide more green spaces, recreational facilities, and safe play areas for youth is always good. Enhancing street maintenance and addressing traffic congestion is also a big need that I notice, I drive through GG a lot. Improvements to pedestrian pathways and bike lanes can also be beneficial. Developing community centers that cater specifically to youth and seniors, providing services, activities, and social support is something that is needed in every city, but GG seems to have this already and I have not noticed anything that needs improvement. The community centers are nice.
3. In your opinion what are the barriers that exist to finding permanent affordable housing?
a. High Housing Costs, Limited Availability ,Income Requirements, Credit and Background Checks. Also- Too many individuals in the household , making it difficult to find an understanding landlord that will allow 5 to a 1 bedroom ,etc.
4. What are some of the meaningful actions that can be taken to more adequately address homelessness in the City?
a. To name a few: Reducing stigma, community engagement (engaging in advocacy and awareness), improving coordination between service providers, access to affordable housing, understanding landlords, more emergency and transitional housing, continuing to bring awareness to the issue.
5. How can we ensure that the needs of the city’s most vulnerable populations are adequately met (LMI families, seniors, homeless, persons w/disabilities) a. Develop programs specifically tailored to the needs of low- and moderateincome families, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and the homeless, and continue to collab with the programs that are tailored to these populations. 710
Enhance accessibility to services and facilities, ensuring they meet ADA standards. Involve representatives from these populations in planning and decision-making processes to ensure their needs are effectively addressed.
Conduct regular assessments of the needs of these populations and adjust services accordingly.
6. Do you feel there is an issue with internet access?
a. Yes, absolutely. The cost of internet services can be a barrier for some individuals and families.
At the high school I worked at in GG, access to the Internet was a consistent barrier for families and youth. Many low-income households and individuals may lack reliable internet access, which can impact their ability to access services and opportunities. In addition to this, areas with poor infrastructure may experience slower internet speeds or limited connectivity.
7. Knowing the City will be receiving approximately $2.7M annually in CDBG, HOME and ESG funds over the next 5 years, what do you feel are the City’s Priority Needs? a. HOUSING! Emergency shelter, transitional shelter, vouchers, low income housing accessibility to youth and adults at risk of homelessness or currently experiencing homelessness

City of Garden Grove Stakeholder Meeting Notes – Affordable Housing Participants:
Nikki Wetzel, Community Development Director. Oversee the Planning, Building and Code Enforcement Divisions.
Alexa Viramontes, Engineering (City staff)
Tim Throne, project manager, Economic Development and Housing
1. How do you envision the affordable housing landscape evolving over the next five years in Garden Grove?
• More affordable housing built. The city has quite a bit of affordable housing projects in the pipeline. It will be increasing based on the data that is available for developers. The current certified housing element provides for 19,168 units. The city upzoned many properties to incentivize development. The city is also looking at as part of our housing element implementation an inclusionary housing
ordinance. Based upon State laws the market solution is going to result in additional affordable housing because it’s becoming more profitable to do so.
• More housing development is growing based on the population growth and density of the city to be able to meet the expanding need. Permanent affordable supportive housing as opposed to transitional housing would be helpful based on the current climate. • To diversify the population, we can serve Affordable housing will need to expand. Given the current housing market, it’s not sustainable for low-income individuals to purchase in our market let alone the high rental markets. Over the next five years I see, and hope funding is attached to this mandate to build all these affordable housing units because it’s very costly to make a project come to fruition and without funding from the State and federal levels it’s going to be difficult to meet these mandates that are coming down the pipeline.
2. In your opinion what are the barriers to building more affordable housing? • High land costs, land value, and cost of material
714
• Construction costs
• Lack of open space in the City. Can only build up
• Changes to the building code add costs to the housing, for example be solar ready, requirements for electrification and parking lots.
• The community sentiment is at times a reason that affordable housing doesn’t get built. The State is it that through tying the City’s hands and our decision makers’ hands in what they can and cannot approve. But there is value in a public process because it allows people to be educated, and it allows them to have a platform to speak out
3. What are some meaningful actions that can be taken to more adequately address affordable housing?
• More money
• Additional HOME funds
• The need for vouchers, specialty vouchers and ongoing subsidies • The lack of availability of units that accept vouchers. Difficult to find a unit.
• Additional landlord engagement and educate them on these vouchers.
4. Do you think homeownership is important to area residents or families? • Homeownership is important. It's the American dream.
• The city receives a lot of First-Time homebuyer applications. The applicants qualify; however, the home prices are out of reach. The applicants must be low-income to qualify, yet the income levels they are in do not help them with the home prices.
• In terms of how to increase opportunities for home ownership, there are fringes that have happened in the last ten years that are impacting on the availability of homes. One of them is short-term rentals. Airbnb’s and VRBOs are commercializing single family homes, townhomes and condos. Investors are purchasing
properties with the intention of renting them to collect rent. The commercialization of our residential zones sometimes brings down the ability of those homes to be offered in the market and reduces the pool of houses that are available for purchase, which drives up cost.
• The ADU policies are driving up home prices
715
5. Knowing the city will be receiving approximately $2.5 million annually in CDBG and HOME funds over the next five years, what do you feel are the city's priority needs?
• Increase in Permanent Supportive Housing

City of Garden Grove Stakeholder Meeting Notes – Social Services Participants:
Patty Mouton, VP at Alzheimer’s Orange County
Kat Fuentes, Upward – Provides economic development and microenterprise assistance
Judy Ahumada, Upwards
1. In your opinion what are the challenges you face when providing services over the next five years?
• Alzheimer’s Orange County – Having trained staff that can work in a local environment for the wages that are available to a not-forprofit program for older adults. Staffing is really important. Having a home base in the city of Garden Grove is very important. • Upward – Lack of funding. There is a significant number of childcare providers in the city that need support. Families are growing and parents are having to go to work leaving them with a struggle of finding affordable childcare.
• Upward – Helping agencies and government officials see the nexus between supporting childcare and supporting affordable housing.
It takes a lot less investment. It takes millions of dollars to build affordable housing developments. It takes a fraction of that to support childcare which has an effect on a family’s ability to afford their housing. If you can decrease the cost of childcare, you create discretionary income for families.
• Upward – Homelessness plays a big factor in a lot of communities across the country, particularly in California, it is a very big topic in a lot of cities.
• Upward – offering families additional support in the community or through the city where they can have some resources so they can afford childcare.
2. Of any community facilities or public improvements needed in Garden Grove? (parks, streets, flood prone areas, ADA improvements, facilities for youth/seniors)
717
• The facilities for the adult healthcare center would be a part of the City’s plan because the facility where it is currently located is part of the redevelopment around the civic center and the police headquarters. There is a plan to move the center to new quarters that the city would provide.
• More transportation for seniors in general is needed
3. What are meaningful actions that can be taken to more adequately address affordable housing?
• Reducing other household expenses.
• Transportation
4. How can we ensure that the needs of cities’ most vulnerable populations are adequately met (LMI families, seniors, homeless, persons w/ disabilities)?
• Challenges can’t be addressed with one solution. Building a transitional housing facility is not going to end homelessness in the city. Need to have a multifaced approach. Nationwide per a lot of studies and research, some of the families at high risk of homelessness are families with children under the age of six. If you can’t find childcare you can’t get a job. With no job, there is no income to pay for rent or any other services needed to survive.
Holistic comprehensive services needed.
5. Do you feel there is an issue with internet access?
• There are many households that need assistance and support or subsidies to make sure they have internet and a device. During the pandemic, one of the big projects that the Orange County Older Adults Commission pushed for approval and implementation was free internet access and training for older adults.
• How to navigate the internet is an issue that has been expressed to the staff at Upwards. They are having to provide technical support.
6. Knowing the City will be receiving approximately $2.5 million annually in CDBG and HOME funds over the next five years, what do you feel are the city's priority needs?
• Patty w/ Alzheimer’s Orange County - Orange County is aging faster than any region in the United States. Birth rates are dropping and the people that are aging aren't really going anywhere until they really go somewhere. We must look at our current population 718
of current adults from the Office on Aging. We have to pay close attention to the number of older adults in the city and what the projections are because we are going to have more 85 year olds here than anywhere in the country. We need to look at what do people need now, who are aging and what they are going to need in the next 10 to 15 years because a huge percentage of the population is going to be older adults. Garden Grove is an older City with unique needs and opportunities for the aging. • Kat w/ Upwards – our most vulnerable population is children. The poverty in children has increased dramatically over the last couple of years. Investing in childcare not only reduces generational poverty but also reduces future costs in municipality long term. The results of that are an improvement in revenue outcomes for the city.
If students receive early education or are better prepared for school there are plenty of studies that show they go on to become higher earners, which benefits a community from everything from homeownership to property tax, sales tax. Investing in early education in children is a local issue and has an impact on them and should be a major priority. If you want to reduce homelessness, want to improve the outcomes of young families who are your next generation of taxpayers, then we must invest in childcare. 719

OVERVIEW
This document establishes protocols for administering the Emergency Solutions Program (ESG) and replaces previous protocols for the defunct Emergency Shelter Grants Program. The protocols herein incorporate changes in the ESG program pursuant to the Interim Rule (effective January 4, 2012), which established the regulations for the Emergency Solutions Grants Program (ESG). Unlike the former Emergency Shelter Grants Program that emphasized serving the needs of the homeless in emergency or transitional shelters, the focus of the ESG aims at “assisting people to quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness” (Interim Rule, Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 233. p. 75954).
Regulatory Authority. The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009, was promulgated on May 20, 2009, reauthorized and amended the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11371 et seq) consolidating three homeless assistance programs into one grant program and revising the Emergency Shelter Grants program and renaming it as the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program. The HEARTH Act also codifies into law the Continuum of Care planning process.

Minimum Documentation. The following standards for documenting homelessness are to be monitored by City staff.
Persons living on
the street
Certify that the persons
served reside on the street.
Provision of services (e.g., outreach, food, health care, clothing) to persons who reside on the streets and not in shelters or other places meant for human habitation),
require the outreach or service worker to sign and date a general certification that:
verifies that the services are going to homeless
persons, and
indicates where the persons served reside.
724
Persons coming
from living on the
street (and into a
place meant for
human habitation)
Obtain information to indicate
that the participant is coming
from the street.
You must verify that an individual is coming from the street through:
organizations or outreach workers who have assisted
him/her in the past;
determining where the resident receives assistance
checks, if applicable; and/or
other information regarding the participant’s recent
past activities.
Document your verification efforts! Your staff should
prepare a statement that is then signed and dated.
As a last resort, if you are unable to verify in this manner that the person is coming from living on the street, the participant or a staff member may prepare a short written statement about the participant’s previous living place and have the participant sign the statement and date it.
Persons coming
from
an emergency
shelter
Verify from the emergency
shelter staff that the
participant has been residing
at the emergency shelter.
You need to obtain from the referring agency a written, signed, and dated verification that the individual has been a resident of the emergency shelter.
Persons coming
from a transitional
housing
Verify with the transitional
housing staff that:
the participant has been
residing at the
transitional housing; and
the participant was living
on the streets or in an
emergency shelter prior
to living in the transitional
housing facility or was
discharged from an
institution or evicted prior
to living in the transitional
housing and would have
been homeless if not for
the transitional housing.
You must obtain from the referring agency two written,
signed, and dated verifications:
a signed statement from the transitional housing staff indicating that the individual had been a resident there; and
the referring agency’s written, signed, and dated
verification as to the individual’s homeless status when he/she entered their program.
If the referring agency did not verify the individual’s homeless status upon entry into their program, you will need to verify that status yourself. That is, in addition to the written, signed, and dated verification from the referring agency that the individual has been residing in the
transitional housing, you need to verify their status upon entry into transitional housing and document that status according to the instructions here.
(For example, if the person was living on the streets before moving into the transitional housing, you will need to obtain the documentation required under “Persons coming from
living on the street” above).
Persons being
evicted from a
private dwelling
Have evidence of the eviction
proceedings.
You need to obtain two types of information:
Documentation of:
the income of the participant;
what efforts were made to obtain housing; and
why, without the homeless assistance, the
participant would be living on the street or in an
emergency shelter.
Documentation of one of the following:
725
For formal eviction proceedings, evidence that the
participant was being evicted within the week
before receiving homeless assistance;
Where a participant’s family is evicting, a signed
and dated statement from a family member
describing the reason for the eviction;
Where there is no formal eviction process (in
these cases, persons are considered evicted
when they are forced out of the dwelling unit by
circumstances beyond their control), two things
are needed:
a signed and dated statement from the
participant describing the situation; and
documentation and verification (through
written, signed, and dated statements) of
efforts to confirm that these circumstances
are true.
Persons from a
short term stay
(up to 30
consecutive days)
in an institution
who previously
resided
on the street or in
an emergency
shelter
Verify from the institution staff
that the participant has been
residing at the institution and
was homeless before entering
the institution
. You must obtain:
written verification from the situation’s staff that the participant has been residing in the institution for less that 31 days; and
information on the previous living situation. Preferably, this will be the institution’s written, signed, and dated verification on the individual’s homeless status when
he/she entered the institution. If the institution’s staff did not verify the individual’s homeless status upon
entry into the institution, you will need to verify that status yourself, according to the instructions above
(i.e., if the person was living on the streets before
moving into the institution, you will need to obtain the documentation required under “Persons coming from
living on the street”).
Persons being
discharged from a
longer stay in an
institution
Verify from the institution staff
that the participant has been
residing at the institution and
will be homeless if not
provided with assistance.
You need to obtain signed and dated:
evidence from the institution’s staff that the participant was being discharged within the week before receiving
homeless assistance; and
documentation of the following:
the income of the participant;
what efforts were made to obtain housing; and
why, without the homeless assistance, the
participant would be living on the street or in an
emergency shelter.

domestic violence
Verify that the participant is
fleeing a domestic violence
situation.
You must obtain written, signed, and dated verification from the participant that he/she is fleeing a domestic violence situation.
726

THE MONITORING PROCESS
Monitoring of ESG-assisted activities takes place on a quarterly and annual basis.
Quarter Reports
Each quarter, subrecipients submit an ESG Subgrantee Report (Exhibit 2), which City staff use to monitor performance measured against the requirements initially outlined in the Eligibility Evaluation (Exhibit 3) and Subrecipient Agreement (Exhibit 4).
736
Desk Audit
Desk reviews are done at the City and entail a review of reports and other documentation that are submitted to the City that help the City understand how well a project is managed, and whether it is achieving its goals and compliance obligations.
At the close of each program year, City staff issue a monitoring letter (Exhibit 5: Monitoring Notification Letter: On-Site Visit or Exhibit 6: Annual Monitoring Notification Letter: Desk Audit) will be sent to the subrecipient transmitting the following documents to be completed and returned to the City prior to the scheduled monitoring visit:
Monitoring Notification Letter: Desk Audit
A Monitoring Notification Letter: Desk Audit will be sent to the owner/property manager detailing the salient terms of the Subrecipient Agreement that will be the source of monitoring. Monitoring Checklist
This report collects information as a basis for conclusions to be included in the Monitoring Summary letter and follow-up (Exhibit 7: Monitoring Checklist). Monitoring Summary
A Monitoring Summary Letter will be provided to the subrecipient that serves as the formal notification of the results of the monitoring. All negative conclusions will be considered a finding or concern with a specific required corrective action. A copy is retained in the Project monitoring file. A “finding” is a deficiency in project performance evidencing an unmet statutory or regulatory requirement.
A “concern” relates to project performance-requiring improvement before becoming a finding.
The subrecipient is to provide a written response within 30 days of the date of the Monitoring Summary letter. Upon completion of all corrective actions, a letter is sent to the owner/property manager stating that the monitoring findings and concerns have been closed. A copy is retained in the Project monitoring file.
ON-SITE VISIT
On-site monitoring enables the City to conduct a more in-depth level of review than the desk review and entails a visit to the office of the owner or property manager to review documents and source information, as well as observe operations. On-site monitoring is necessary when the risk analysis or desk review suggests that there may be problems, or if a protracted period of time has elapsed since the last visit.
The following steps are to be taken when monitoring on-site:
737
Monitoring Notification Letter: On-Site Visit
A Monitoring Notification Letter: On-Site Visit will be sent to the owner/property manager at least two weeks in advance of the monitoring visit. The letter will detail the salient terms of the Subrecipient Agreement that will be the source of monitoring. The letter will also notify the owner/property manager of the date and time of an interview that will be conducted to make sure that the owner and/or manager thoroughly understands the purpose, scope, and schedule for the monitoring.
In addition to the aforementioned reports, these items also are to be reviewed:
Monitoring Summary
After the monitoring visit, a Monitoring Summary letter is forwarded to the subrecipient that serves as the formal notification of the results of the monitoring. All negative conclusions are considered a finding or concern with a specific required corrective action. If relevant, the letter may stipulate steps initiated by the owner/property manager to correct areas of noncompliance or nonperformance. A copy is retained in the Project monitoring file. A “finding” is a deficiency in project performance evidencing an unmet statutory or regulatory requirement.
A “concern” relates to project performance requiring improvement before becoming a finding.
The owner/property manager is to provide a written response within 30 days of the date of the Monitoring Summary letter. Upon completion of all corrective actions, a letter is sent to the owner/property manager stating that the monitoring findings and concerns have been closed. A copy is retained in the Project monitoring file.
