SUBJECT: Approval of 2023-2024 Community Development Block Grant Final Action Plan
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the final 2023 -2024 Community Development Block Grant Action Plan and authorize submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, subject to staff making any edits directed by the City Council.

BACKGROUND:

Since 2004, t he City of Goleta has received an annual allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The primary objective of the CDBG program is the development of viable communities, decent and affordable housing, and expanded economic development opportunities for persons of very low, low, and moderate incomes.

As a CDBG entit lement community, the City of Goleta is required to submi t an Annual Action Plan to HUD. The Annual Action Plan articulates the City’s proposed CDBG projects for the upcoming program year, sets annual goals, and indicates how the CDBG funding will be allocated.

On December 16, 2022, the City published a Notice of Funding Availability in English in The Independent and in Spanish in El Latino, inviting applications for F iscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 funding through the CDBG program. Outreach for FY 2023-2024 grant funding availability was provided via these newspapers’ display ads, the City’s website, social media, by press release, and direct email to past applicants and recipients . For the fifth year in a row , the City utilized an online application process through ZoomGrants, a popular online application program used by many other jurisdictions. The deadline for submittal of grant applications was January 27, 2023.

Of the 59 total applications received, 12 received consideration for CDBG funding. These CDBG applications were reviewed by the City Council’s Grant Funding Review Standing Committee (Committee) on February 9, 2023.
1 Meeting Date: April 18, 2023

On March 7, 2023, the City Council held a public hearing to receive public input on the needs, goals, and objectives of the City’s CDBG Program and funding recommendations for the 2023-2024 Action Plan. The City was notified of its FY 2023-2024 CDBG allocation of $276,047 on February 27, 2023, and Council was notified of the amount at the public hearing. Fifteen percent (15%) or approximately $41,407 of this amount, was allocated to Public Services to assist low- to moderate-income people. Another 20%, or $55,209, was allocated for planning and administration of the CDBG Program, and the remaining allocation of $179,431 was made available for capital projects (CIP) benefiting the low- to moderate-income population or the disabled. In addition to holding the public hearing, the City Council also approved the CDBG recommendations of the Committee for FY 2023- 2024. The CIP funding was allocated to the Goleta Community Center for foundation repairs.

Following that meeting, staff completed the draft 202 3-2024 CDBG Action Plan, and on March 17, 2023 , it was released for a 30 -day public review period (Attachment 1).

Comments on the draft Action Plan were due on April 17, 2023. As of the date this report was prepared, one co mment was received. That comment read, in full, “Stop the overbuilding in my Goleta. It’s turning into LA. Terrible.” The Action Plan must be submitted to HUD by May 15th annually.

DISCUSSION:

Consideration for CDBG funding was given to the goals that were established in the 2020- 2024 Five-Year Consolidated Plan. These include providing CDBG support for services to the homeless, those with dis abilities or special needs, services for low - to moderate- income youth and seniors, and general services for low - to-moderate income people.

Other goals of the Consolidated Plan include promoting a suitable living environment through street, sidewalk, drainage, park and other infrastructure improvements in areas with high concentrations of low- to moderate-income populations, namely Old Town Goleta, but in the case of ADA accessibility improvements, within other areas of the City.

A summary of the goals fro m the CDBG Five-Year Consolidated Plan and the annual target for the number of people to be assisted is provided below.

CDBG Capital Improvement Project for Program Year 2023-2024

Based on the City’s FY 2023-2024 entitlement allocation from HUD, $179,431 is available for capital projects. The Committee recommended that the CIP portion of the CDBG allocation be directed to foundational repair and improvements at the Goleta Community Center. However, during the public comment period, General Services staff, Public Works staff, and Neighborhood Services staff met to discuss spending forecasts on pending CDBG capital improvement projects. As of March 30, 2023 , there is approximately $329,567.46 in CDBG funding already allocated for the Goleta Community Center ADA , seismic work and other improvements projects, including funds dating back to 2019. This does not include the FY 2023-2024 allocation.

CDBG funding is governed both by time allowances (funds must be spent within five years of award) and amount spent (each year the City may not have more than 1 ½ times the amount of the current year’s allocation in reserve). If the City fails to meet these standards, punitive measures in the form of workout plans, audits, lower ing of future awards, and possible “claw backs” of previously awarded funds may occur. By May 2, 3 Meeting Date: April 18, 2023

2024, a minimum of $420,000 in CDBG funding must be spent. Because of the need to spend down the CDBG funding, staff of all three departments recommend allocating $125,000 in FY 2023-2024 CDBG CIP funding to a Public Works project installing ADA sidewalk improvements at Dearborn and Armitos (Attachment 2). The remaining $54,431 will be allocated to the Community Center foundation repair project . General Services stated that it can spend approximately $200,000 in CDBG funds in FY 2023-2024 for the Community Center project.

ADA i mprovements and repairs to the sidewalk at Dearborn and Armitos are eligible under the category of “public facilities and improvements serving eligible low -income areas.” Old Town is an eligible area to spend CDBG funds given many residents in the area are low - to moderate -income people who will presumably benefit fro m the work.

Persons with disabilities are in a presumed low-income category and will also benefit from proposed ADA accessibility improvements. These recommendations have been incorporated into the Final Action Plan.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

There is no fiscal i mpact associated with this item. The costs for staff time spent on administration of the CDBG program are funded by the CDBG award received by the City.

CDBG funding for staff time is transferred to the City’s General Fund via account number 402-60-6300-59000 – Transfers Out to cover program-related costs. If Council approves allocating $125,000 to the ADA sidewalk improvement project, Finance will need to create General Ledger account 402-50-5800-51071 in which to place the CDBG funds.

ALTERNATIVES:

Council may elect to modify any or all of the Committee’s recommendations, in which case staff would incorporate the revised allocations or other edits into the Final 2023- 2024 Action Plan. If Council opts to take no action, it would be impossible to make HUD’s May 15 deadline for submittal of the Action Plan, which could in turn put the City’s CDBG funding allocation in jeopardy.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
This Action Plan outlines the City of Goleta’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) activities for the 12-month period from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, or HUD Program Year (PY) 2023-2024. As with all CDBG activities, the projects outl ined in this Plan must meet one of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) three national objectives for the CDBG program. These objectives include:
• Activities which benefit low- and moderate-income persons; • Activities which aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and • Activities designed to meet community development needs having a particular urgency.

The City's PY 2023 Action Plan goals concentrate on addressing the first national objective - activities which will benefit low- to moderate-income people who reside in the City of Goleta (City), since the City must certify that at least 70 percent of its CDBG funds received over a three-year certification period will be designed to benefit low - and moderate-income persons. The City’s PY 2023 proposed projects and activities also support the needs and priorities included in the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan is a community blueprint for meeting the housing and community development needs of the City of Goleta. The Consolidated Plan provides a description of existing housing and community development needs, long-term strategies to address those needs, and reflects current community input.

The City was notified of the official CDBG allocation from HUD on February 27, 2023, and will receive $276,047 in CDBG funds in PY 2023. This would allow for $41,407 for public services, $55,209 for administration of the CDBG program, and $179,431 for capital projects.

Capital improvement Activities:

Goleta Valley Community Center Foundational Repair, including ADA & Seismic Upgrades $54,431 ADA Sidewalk Improvements at Dearborn and Armitos in Old Town Goleta $125,000 The Final 2023-2024 Action Plan is expected to be adopted by the Goleta City Council on May 2, 2023. If additional funds become available during the program year from unanticipated increases in appropriation, savings from completed projects or dropped projects, the City will increase the funding of the Capital Improvement Projects outlined in the PY 2023 Annual Action Plan. No substantial amendments will be required for such an action.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The City is committed to allocating CDBG funds to serve the needs of low- and moderate-income residents of the City of Goleta. The City of Goleta has identified special-needs individuals as among those who face the greatest challenges and who should receive high priority in the expenditure of federal funds, including at-risk children and youth, low-income families, the homeless and persons at-risk of becoming homeless, persons with disabilities, and the elderly (especially frail elderly). Priorities can be achieved through a combination of 1) decent and affordable housing; 2) investment in public infrastructure in targeted lower- income and deteriorating neighborhoods, and in facilities that serve lower -income and/or special needs populations; and 3) public services to low - to moderate -income people, including, but not limited to, health care, food and nutrition programs, educational programs, activities and support for seniors, housing assistance, job training, outreach, case management and counseling for the homeless, enrichment programs for youth, and medical programs for low-income people. Capital projects funded in part with CDBG funds are typically located in Old Town Goleta and Census Tract 30.01 where the City's largest percentage of low - to moderate income people reside. In PY 2023, the City wil l be allocating its capital project funding for foundation repair to the Goleta Community Center building and ADA sidewalk improvements at Dearborn and Armitos , both of which are in Census Tract 30.01. These improvements include, but may not be limited to, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Seismic upgrades.

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.

The City is making progress on the priorities addressing the needs identified and described in its 2020- 2024 Consolidated Plan. The City has completed the third year of Consolidated Plan implementation. 8 Annual Action Plan

While some goals and targeted numbers were affected by the COVID -19 coronavirus pandemic over the past three years, services are fully open to the public again. The City’s greatest challenges are retaining and expanding its stock of affordable housing with the continued high cost of housing and the lack of undeveloped land within the City. Although the City conti nues to look for opportunities to facilitate the development of affordable housing, the factors of high housing costs and the lack of undeveloped land have an impact on the fulfillment of the City’s overall goal of developing viable communities through the provision of decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities for principally low- and moderate-income persons. However, the City has continued to make great strides in assisting low- to- moderate-income people through its CDBG public service funding. The majority of the City's CDBG-CV funds were allocated to outreach and bridge housing services for homeless persons in the City, with two large contributions from the City's General Fund totaling over $540,000.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan.

Introduction
The City expects to receive CDBG funds for use to address the community needs. In addition to its entitlement grant, the City of Goleta typically allocates some General Fund money towards public services and leverages other funding and grants for new or repaired infrastructure in Old Town, the area with the highest percentage of low - to moderate-income people. For example, the City is expected to allocate over $500,000 in City General Fund money in fiscal year 2023 -2024 for services to assist homeless peopl e through support of outreach efforts and reservation of beds at local homeless shelters; for Fair Housing Services to predominantly low- to moderate-income residents through a contract with the City of Santa Barbara for its Rental Housing Mediation Progra m; and for monitoring of affordable housing covenants by the Housing Authority of Santa Barbara County. Should additional CDBG funding become available during the program year for capital projects through cost savings, increase in allocation, or dropped activities, the City will use CDBG funds to make ADA sidewalk improvements at Dearborn and Armitos in Old Town Goleta and expand the scope of its Goleta Community Center improvement program, to include foundation repairs and possibly expand on pro posed ADA, seismic and other facility upgrades. If additional funding becomes available for public services for the same reasons during the program year, the funds will be distributed proportionately among the approved CDBG -funded public services agencies. No additio nal public review will be required because this would be considered a minor amendment to the Annual Action Plan. 34 Annual Action Plan

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied All sources and types of matching funds are more limited now due to the current economic climate, along with the demise of California redevelopment tax-increment funds and housing set-aside funds, and draw- down of local housing trust funds. However, as in the past, jurisdictions will be as creative as possible to find other sources of funding from state, federal, private developer, state tax-credit, or local funding, such as the housing trust funds, in order to develop and deliver efficient and cost-effective projects. Although the City's CDBG allocation is limited relative to the cost of new housing and public improvements, these CDBG funds can serve as matching funds for other grant opportunities or can provide much needed gap funding when local resources fall short. The City gave $600,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funding in 2022 to the Housing Authority of th e County of Santa Barbara to help fund the acquisition of a hotel in Old Town Goleta which is being turned into permanent supportive housing for homeless and at -risk individuals through the Homekey Program. The mission of the Homekey Program is to rapidly sustain and expand the inventory of housing for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness and impacted by COVID -19. It is supported by the state's direct allocation of federal Coronavirus Aid Relief Funds.

and Armitos in Old Town Goleta. The remaining $54,431 will be allocated to foundation repairs and upgrades at the Goleta Community Center, including but not necessarily limited to, ADA and seismic improvements. Both of these improvements are on City-owned land in Census Tract 30.01, generally, Old Town Goleta, which is the area with the City’s greatest percentage of low- to moderate-income residents.

Discussion
The City has been very successful in leveraging financial resources and, in addition to CDBG funding, has successfully competed for ma ny other grants from varying sources, including State of California Parks grants, which have supported additional improvements at the Goleta Community Center site and Mathilda Park, which is using CDBG funds from 2020 to update ADA requirements. 37 Annual Action Plan

Introduction
The Five-Year Consolidated Plan outlines strategies for the expenditures of the City's CDBG funds with the mission to provide a suitable living environment by revitalizing low- to moderate-income neighborhoods, to assist disadvantaged, low -income and homeless persons by providing adequate public facilities and services, and generating affordable housing opportunities. This PY 2023 Action Plan focuses CDBG resources in the areas of youth and family resources to low -income persons, medical services including chronic care case management for low -income persons and those experiencing homelessness, and homelessness prevention services . It also places considerable funding towards ADA sidewalk improvements at Dearborn and Armitos in Old Town Goleta and foundational repair and improvements to the Goleta Community Center which is also located in Old Town Goleta, Census Tract 30.01, the area with the city’s highest number of low- to moderate-income people. # Project Name

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan identifies public services to the homeless, seniors, children and youth, those with special needs such as people with disabilities, and low-income people in general as high priorities. In addition, capital projects and public infrastructure improvements in Old Town Goleta where the City’s highest population of low- to moderate-income people reside is another top priority identified in the Consolidated Plan. The primary barrier to addressing underserved needs is lack of adequate financial resources.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.420, 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low -income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The City of Goleta’s CDBG funding for capital projects and public improvements has been concentrated in Census Tract 30.01 which includes Goleta ’s Old Town district. This area contains the City ’s highest concentration of low- to moderate-income residents and is the primary census tract that exceeds the HUD exception threshold for Goleta. HUD typically defines a low- and moderate-income area as an area (often a Census Tract) where at least 51 percent of the residents are low and moderate income. However, in some communities, there are no or very few areas in which 51 percent of the res idents are low and moderate income. For these grantees, the CDBG regulations authorize an exception criterion in order for such grantees to be able to undertake area benefit activities. The City of Goleta is one of the communities where the exception criteria apply. In addition, only individual Block Groups within the City of Goleta meet the HUD-defined criteria. These qualifying Block Groups are located in Goleta’ s Old Town district and a high-density residential district on the west side of the city. In t hese block groups, 47% or more of residents are low-mod income.

In PY 2023, the City will be addressing the needs of persons in Census Tract 30.01, which is the area of Old Town Goleta typically served by CDBG capital funds. In addition, any residual funds would support the entire community of people with disabilities who might visit the Goleta Community Center by addressing foundation repairs and ADA accessibility upgrades.

CDBG funding for Public Services is directed at low- to moderate-income people citywide.

Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
Old Town Goleta 65
Citywide – Low- to Mod-Income Population 35
Table 8 – Geographic Distribution

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically For capital projects and public infrastructure improvements, CDBG funding has been spent in a predominantly low- to moderate-income residential area for the LMA national objective, or within an economically depressed or blighted area to meet the Elimination of Slum/Blight national objective. HUD defines a low- and moderate-income area as an area (often a Census Tract or Block Group) where at least 51 percent of the residents are of low and moderate income. The City of Goleta is an exception community, which permits the City to include census tracts and block groups below the 51 percent threshold. In the case of the City of Goleta, only individual Block Groups within the City of Goleta me et the HUD-defined criteria. These qualifying Block Groups are located in Goleta’s Old Town district (several 47 Annual Action Plan
2023
43 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
block groups within Census Tract 30.01) and a high-density residential district on the west side of the city.

In these block groups, 47% or more of residents are low -mod income. These are the areas where City of Goleta funding will be targeted. In addition, the services provided by the social service sub-recipients are located in a variety of critical locations throughout the city in order to reach those most in need.

Discussion
The City is allocating its entire allocation (minus the 20% for Planning and Administration of the CDBG program) to address the needs of low- and moderate-income persons, including persons with disabilities and those experiencing homelessness. The City does not have any Neighborhood Strategy Areas (NSAs).

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j) Introduction
In the City of Goleta, the largest barrier to the development of affordable housing is the extremely high cost of real estate and development costs.

There are also considerable governmental constraints to affordable housing development that include land use policies governed by the Land Use Element of the General Plan and the zoning and development codes, and development fees imposed by the jurisdiction. In addition, due to the prolonged drought, there is a restriction on issuance of new water service by the Goleta Water District which represents another barrier.

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’s Housing Element is required to provide a detailed assessment of public policy constraints and to develop strategies to alle viate the constraints on development of new housing, and particularly, those that act as barriers to affordable housing. Major governmental constraints to affordable housing development include land use policies governed by the Land Use Element of the General Plan and the zoning and development codes, and development fees imposed by the jurisdiction. For example, stringent standards relating to building height, lot coverage, setbacks, open space requirements, and parking requirements often reduce the number of units that can be achieved on a given site. In addition, lengthy development approval and permit processing procedures can increase the cost of development substantially. In most cases, lengthy development and permit approval process occurs when a conditional use permit and/or design/architectural review are required and if clear standards for review are not established. Development impact fees are also charged to a new development to pay for the necessary local infrastructure to serve the development which increases the cost to develop new housing. The City of Goleta completed a several -year-process of developing a new zoning code that was adopted in February 2020, and in doing so, has carefully examined current development standards, land use policies, and permit processing requirements to remove unnecessary barriers to development of affordable housing . This included an examination of current land use controls to determine where processing efficiencies can be improved. In an effort to encourage and remove developmen t barriers for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), the City does not charge any development impact fees for these units.

Discussion
The City supports affordable housing project construction through Santa Barbara County HOME Consortium funding. The City continues to support 49 Annual Action Plan

Introduction
The greatest obstacle to meeting any underserved need is the lack of sufficient funding, including:
• Limited availability of funding from both federal, state, and other sources; • High cost of housing and provisions in the area which increases the difficulty of meeting affordable housing needs; and
• Reduced or frozen funding from the State, including the loss of Redevelopment Funds and other sources due to inadequate State revenue
There is an underserved need for public services across most categories. This includes the needs of the elderly and frail seniors, at -risk youth, working parents, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, the disabled, individuals with drug, alcohol and chronic illnesses, and persons with other conditions affecting their ability to function independently and productively. There is also a need for general services for low- income residents such as health care, food and clothing, educational programs, and case management.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City of Goleta will provide the maximum amount of CDBG funding allowed towards public services (15% of its allocation) which will help address the needs of youth, homeless and low -income people in general, including essential needs such as health and dental care and needed family resources for low - income parents, as well as case management support to prevent homelessness.

There is a need within the City to address existing barriers to low-income families and those persons with disabilities. In PY 2023, the City will work to address some of those needs. The City will allocate approximately 65% of its CDBG funding for ADA sidewalk improvements at Dearborn and Armitos in Old Town Goleta and towards improvements to the City’s only community center, the Goleta Community Center in Old Town Goleta. The Goleta Community Center also houses the City’s only Senior Center. These improvements include making foundation repairs, and making the Center ADA accessible, which is important as it is the only community center serving this high-density area of low-income residents. This CDBG funding may also provide leveraging opportunities to add additional enhancements and upgrades to the Center.

To address other underserved needs, in PY 2023 City staff will also focus on the following programmatic and administrative areas:
• Staff will continue to research availability of future funding resources and use proactive approaches toward future applications for potential leverage funds; this will assist the City to 51 Annual Action Plan
2023
47 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
strategically place future activities in line to address the above obstacles. • CDBG and other funds will be used as leverage for the City administered programs and support services that serve the needs of low- to moderate-income citizens.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The high cost of housing in the area significantly increases the difficulty of meeting affordable housing needs and the City has limited resources with which to develop affordable units on its own. Staff will continue to research and explore public/private partnerships in the construction and development of affordable housing. The City will continue to look for opportunities to leverage its HOME funds and affordable housing in-lieu fees to assist private developers in the construction of new affordable housing.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department works in coordination with the California Department of Health Services, Childhood Lead Poisoning Branch for program planning, outreach, case management, investigation, and surveillance of lead poisoned children.

A Public Health Nurse (PHN) identifies and case-manages lead-burdened children throughout the county and provides outreach and education to the community. A multi-departmental Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention (CLPP) Team, which includes representatives from the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, California Children Services (CCS), Environmental Health Services, Community Health Division Program Administration, and the County Fire Department -HAZMAT, meets quarterly to plan outreach activities, prepare educational materials, resolve current issues, and discuss responsibilities in investigating lead poisoning cases. This program has increased lead screening done on children at risk for lead poisoning.

The City of Goleta will also make copies of the most recent EPA publication, Renovate Right: Important Lead Hazard Information for Families, Child Care Providers and Schools available to the public at City Hall.

In addition, the City’s Planning and Environmental Review Department will provide the mos t recent EPA educational brochures on lead poisoning to anyone seeking a permit or information for renovation of a residence, day care center or school which includes work on a structure older than 1978.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City of Goleta supports various public service programs, both with its CDBG funding and its own General Funds, to provide essential services to reduce the number of poverty-level families.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
One of the institutional gaps identified was that few services are located in the City of Goleta, so residents have to travel to receive services. The City will continue to work with service providers to offer services in 52 Annual Action Plan
2023
48 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Goleta and will support those programs that do with CDBG and/or General Fund money. For example, one of the PY 2023 CDBG sub-recipients is receiving increased funding to support a medical and a dental clinic that are both located in the city of Goleta. This will provide needed no- or low-cost medical, mental health and dental health services to low -income or homeless residents without the need to spend time and financial resources on travel.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to collaborate with public and private housing and social service agencies to meet the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan. This includes attending and coordinating ongoing meetings, special meetings and/or participation on relevant tasks forces.

Discussion
Among the partners the City works with is the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara. The Housing Authority owns and/or manages 148 units within the Goleta City limits and owns and/or manages over 100 additional rental housing units just outside the City limits that have Goleta addresses. The Housing Authority also provides rental assistance to 252 low -income families within the City as follows:
117 through Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers; 121 through Section 8 Project -Based Vouchers; 14 through Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance.

On January 11, 2022, the County Board of Supervisors approved local capital matching funds in order for the Housing Authority to apply for a $16 million state Homekey grant to provide permanent supportive housing for persons who are experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness. The funds were used to purchase the Super 8 hotel located at 6021 Hollister Avenue in Goleta. On January 5, 2022, the Goleta City Council approved the use of $600,000 in City ARPA funds toward the project’s local capital match.

The 60-unit housing project will be owned and managed by the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara. Construction is currently underway, and Goleta -area h omeless persons have already been identified as being a good fit for housing in the project. Homekey is a California program to purchase and rehabilitate housing, including hotels, motels, vacant apartment buildings and other properties, and convert them i nto permanent, long -term housing for people experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness.
