Figure 10A-8 shows the distribution of housing sites in relation to overcrowding. As seen in this map, most portions of Goleta have overcrowding rates less than 8.2 percent. The highest incidence of overcrowding occurs in the eastern portion of the city (census tract 003001) where it is estimated that 12.53 percent of households are overcrowded. This area is also classified as vulnerable to displacement, as seen in Figure 10A-9. While a significant number of housing sites are located in this census tract, these sites also provide locational advantages such as close proximity to employment opportunities, public transportation and commercial services.
While commercial and office use areas provide the largest component of the potential residential inventory, it is important to recognize that existing residential neighborhoods also provide substantial potential for new housing in areas of higher opportunity through ADUs and SB 9 urban lot splits.

VII.IVII.K Contributing Factors
The housing element must include an identification and prioritization of significant contributing factors to segregation, racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, disparities in access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs. “Fair housing contributing factor” means a factor that creates, contributes to, perpetuates, or increases the severity of one or more fair housing issues. Contributing factors should be based on all the prior efforts and analyses: outreach, assessment of fair housing, and site inventory. Contributing factors must also be prioritized in terms of needed impact on fair housing choice and strongly connect to goals and actions.
Through the participation of stakeholders, fair housing advocates, and the assessment of fair housing issues described in this appendix, the City has identified fair housing issues and contributing factors, housing mobility strategies to provide new affordable housing opportunities, place-based strategies as well aspriorities to further fair housing, and meaningful actions to address those issues as described in Table 10A-36Table 10A-37: Fair Housing Issues, Contributing Factors and Meaningful Actions.
VII.JVII.L Goals, Policies and Actions
Based upon the analysis presented above, the City has identified fair housing issues, contributing factors, and meaningful actions that will be taken to address those issues during the planning period. The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing 2020 (County AI) prepared by the County of Santa Barbara HOME Consortium, of which the City of Goleta is a participating jurisdiction, was of key importance in helping to identify these issues, contributing factors and actions.
As noted in Section IV: Fair Housing Impediments and Action Plan of the County AI, “It is the goal of the jurisdictions to undertake actions that can help reduce and eliminate existing housing discrimination and prevent its reemergence in the future, as well as to address other impediments to equal housing opportunity. While the jurisdictions cannot control systemic issues related to fair housing and fair housing choice challenges, they can work to coordinate actions that improve fair housing, encourage coordination among disparate public entities, encourage stakeholders to act and report on fair housing issues, analyze existing data sources, report progress on fair housing issues, highlight findings from data analyses, and encourage meaningful action and cooperation at community levels.”
For each fair housing impediment listed in Table 10A-36Table 10A-37 below, a cross reference is provided to specific programs in the Goleta Housing Plan that are intended to address the impediment.

Housing
affordability
Housing affordability gaps are increasing
for both renters and owners, but renters
are significantly more likely to face cost-
burden challenges. Affordability is rapidly
becoming the City’s greatest housing
challenge. While these challenges are
significant for most residents, they pose
particular risks for vulnerable
populations, including people with
physical and mental disabilities, seniors,
and at-risk youth and veterans.
HighCitywide Increase affordable housing opportunities.
Given the increase in affordability concerns
across the County, increasing affordable
housing opportunities continues to be an
important focus. Working to expand the
supply of affordable housing should also
expand access to housing for protected
classes. Potential strategies include:
• Continue to use federal, State and other
locally administered funds to support
affordable and special needs housing and
explore opportunities to increase funding
for affordable housing creation. (See
Programs HE 2.
87 and HE 3.1)
• Support opportunities to reduce barriers
to affordable housing development. (See
Programs HE 2.1 and HE 3.1)
• Increase access to family-oriented
housing (e.g., units with at least two
bedrooms). (See Programs HE 2.1, HE
3.1, and HE 3.2)
• Seek opportunities that expand housing
options for vulnerable populations, such
as people with disabilities, seniors,
veterans, and youth aging out of foster
care. (See Programs HE 3.1 and HE 3.2)
• Proactively monitor and address loss of
existing affordable housing units,
particularly in “high opportunity” areas.
(See Programs HE 1.3 and HE 3.1)
Homelessness Greater coordination in service delivery
to at-risk populations is needed to
address needs and prevent
homelessness. The City is experiencing
increases in homelessness and at-risk
populations become increasingly more
likely to become homeless when there is
a lack of affordable housing options and
service delivery is disconnected. Further,
in an environment where resources are
limited, efficiency and partnership are
necessary to connect what’s available to
those in need.
HighCitywide In 2021 the City Council adopted the Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan. The Strategic
Plan includes four overarching goals: 1)
Increase Access to Critical Services for the
Homeless; 2) Reduce the Impacts of
Homelessness on the Community; 3) Prevent
At-Risk Individuals from Becoming Homeless
(Homelessness Prevention); and 4) Increase
the Supply of Transitional Housing,
Permanent Supportive Housing, and
Emergency Housing.
The City will continue to pursue
implementation of the Strategic Plan to
address the problem of homelessness in
Goleta. (see Programs HE 3.1 and HE
3.2)

source of income. Education
around fair housing rights and
enforcement is an ongoing
challenge that governments must
address continuously. In
particular, California’s fair
housing law includes source of
income as a protected class, but
residents reported that over 60%
of discrimination they were aware
of was based on source of
income.Some residents who are in
need of fair housing resources, including
low-income households, persons with
disabilities, racial/ethnic minorities and
other protected classes, may be
unaware of the fair housing resources
that are available. Although information
about fair housing services is posted on
the City website and in public offices,
more could be done to make this
information available.
rental properties, that will be directed to
housing service providers, management
companies, and rental residents. Provide
an emphasis on the protection for source
of income under California law.
• Ensure training opportunities for rental
residents to clearly inform this population
of their rights and responsibilities,
particularly in the area of disabilities.
Ensure these trainings are offered in
English and Spanish.
Continue to support the fair housing efforts
of the Santa Barbara Rental Housing
Mediation Program, or other appropriate
fair housing agency. (Program HE 3.1)
Continue to support the provision of
housing for persons with disabilities
through updates to Title 17 in compliance
with fair housing law by December 2023.
(Program HE 3.2)
Post and update information annually
regarding fair housing and conduct a
presentation every two years in
collaboration with the Santa Barbara
Rental Housing Mediation Program.
(Program HE 3.1)
In cooperation with the Santa Barbara
Rental Housing Mediation Program,
contact all low-income apartment
complexes annually to provide education
and materials about the Section 8 program
including multi-lingual materials. (Program
HE 3.1)
Publish and update links to fair housing
information on the City website and via
social media annually. (Program HE 3.1)
Intended Outcomes:
Through the above steps, the City’s goal is to
increase the distribution of fair housing
informational materials by at least 25% and
increase awareness of fair housing options
among residents, including special needs
groups and low-income residents. During the
informational workshops a comprehensive list
of interested nonprofits, property owners and
community members will be compiled for
additional future outreach. The City will seek
to increase the annual number of Goleta
residents assisted by the Santa Barbara
Rental Housing Mediation Program by at
least 25%.
Access to
Opportunity and
Mobility
Lack of access to opportunity due to high
housing costs is a significant contributing
factor to fair housing throughout the
South Coast area. All areas of Goleta
are rated “High” or “Highest” resource by

will improve the ability of lower-income
households to afford suitable housing in
areas with better access to opportunity.
These programs are geographically
targeted primarily to multi-family
developments and mobile home parks,
although Section 8 certificates may also
be used in single-family units.
The Mortgage Credit Certificate Program,
which is administered by HASBARCO,
also provides financial assistance to first-
time homebuyers, facilitating mobility to
single-family neighborhoods
Program HE 2.6: Encourage Accessory
Dwelling Units is expected to facilitate
production of at least 118 new housing
units during the planning period, most of
which will be affordable to low- and
moderate-income persons, thereby
expanding housing options and mobility in
high-opportunity single-family
neighborhoods.
Intended Outcomes:
These actions will facilitate the preservation
of existing affordable housing as well as a
variety of new housing options throughout the
city, including areas that have traditionally
only had single-family ownership housing.
These programs will provide housing
opportunities exceeding the City’s assigned
RHNA objectives. Specific objectives include

Continue to implement subsection
17.07.040(B) of the GMC to expand the
housing supply in single-family zones by
allowing for lot splits and duplexes under
the parameters of SB 9. In coordination
with research being conducted at the
State level, evaluate and pursue
opportunities to incentivize and provide
funding assistance for homeowners to
provide affordable units under SB 9.
Coordinate with HASBARCO in 2023
about utilizing a mobility counseling
program in Goleta. This program would
market landlords and property owners and
inform Housing Choice Voucher holders
about their residential options in areas
throughout the City and provides holistic
supports to voucher holders seeking to
move to areas of higher opportunity.
Through landlord outreach and mobility
counseling, the City's goal will be to
increase Housing Choice Vouchers by
10% and through implementation of the
City’s SB 9 ordinance, seek to integrate at
least five units annually in single-family
areas.
By February 2024 research and pursue
the development of a program that would
provide low-interest loans to single-family
homeowners and grants to homeowners
with household incomes of up to 80% of
the Area Median Income to develop
accessory dwelling units with affordability
restrictions on their property. This
research should also explore outside
funds. If funding is available, establish a
pilot program by December 2024 and
implement at least annually thereafter with
a goal of achieving at least five deed-
restricted ADUs annually.
The City will publicize the HASBARCO
First-Time Homebuyer Assistance
program annually on the City website,
newsletters and through social media.
Homesharing: Research and pursue a
homesharing program, including research
and coordination with non-profit and other
organizations to assist with matching
tenants with special needs with existing
homeowners. The City will market and
take other actions as necessary at least

Accessibility Improvements: Research and
pursue funding opportunities at least every
other year to make accessibility
improvements to homes and community
infrastructure.
Develop incentives or other strategies to
promote housing choices and affordability
in all development throughout the City.
Affirmative Marketing and Regional
Registries: Require affordable developers
receiving public funds to prepare an
affirmative marketing plan, and encourage
private developers with affordable units in
their projects to prepare an affirmative
marketing plan. The affirmative marketing
plan shall consider any regional housing
registries and ensure marketing materials
for new developments are designed to
attract renters and buyers of diverse
demographics, including persons of any
race, ethnicity, sex, handicap, and familial
status.
