SUBJECT: August 13, 2024 Homelessness Issues Standing Committee Meeting ITEM I. Public Comment (5 Minutes)
ITEM II. Three Year Status Report on the Goleta (30 Minutes) Homelessness Strategic Plan
Staff will give a formal presentation on the three-year status report on the Homelessness Strategic Plan (Attached).

Adopted in April, 2021, the Homelessness Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan) had the following specific goals:
• Increase access to critical services for the homeless (Access) • Reduce the impacts of homelessness on the community (Reduce Impacts) • Prevent at-risk individuals from becoming homeless (Prevention) • Increase the supply of transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and emergency housing (Housing)
In response to the adoption of this Strategic Plan, the City Allocated significant City General Fund as well as federal grant resources toward the implementation of the plan. The funding directed toward homelessness in FY 2020-2021 was $164,359. In 2022-2023, the amount was $962,405, representing a 486% increase. The General Fund budgeted expenditures in FY 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 were approximately $866,000 each year.

To measure the impacts of these investments the Strategic Plan identified specific objectives that are illustrated in the table below. For each measure, the progress is indicated by a graphic.

ITEM III. Discussion of Enforcement of City Ordinances in Post-Boise and Post-Grants Pass Environment (30 minutes)
Background
The informal policy regarding encampments on public property outside of the High-Fire Risk Areas has been to use outreach services to offer the occupants alternatives to sleeping outside (either in interim or permanent housing when available). Only when an encampment has been abandoned has the City ordered that the encampments be cleared.

The exception to this policy has been the Project Connect construction areas where encampments were ordered removed through posting and follow up by law enforcement.

On June 27, 2023 the City Council amended Sections 12.01.010 through 12.01.030 of Chapter

12.01 of the Goleta Municipal Code Regarding Camping and Open Fire Regulations Relating to High-Fire Risk Areas. This new ordinance created the enforcement language (Attachment #3) for the areas designated as High-Fire Risk Areas. At this time, there appears to be no impact from the Supreme Court Decision on the high fire ordinance.

On June 28, 2024 the Supreme Court issued a ruling on City of Grants Pass, Oregon v.

Johnson holding that “The enforcement of generally applicable laws regulating camping on public property does not constitute ‘cruel and unusual punishment’ prohibited by the Eighth Amendment.” The recent Supreme Court decision reversed the decisions of the Ninth Circuit, that enforcement of public camping ordinances violate the Eighth Amendment if there are insufficient shelter beds available for the homeless population in a given jurisdiction.

On July 25, 2024, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order directing state agencies “to urgently address homeless encampments while respecting the dignity and well-being of all Californians.”
The Supreme Court’s Grants Pass opinion recognizes that decisions regarding how to address homelessness involve complicated questions of policy that differ depending on each community. In the view of the Supreme Court, those choices are best left to policymakers and local officials. The holding of the Supreme Court only extends to the Eighth Amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. In so holding, the Court recognized the need to provide cities full access to the tools needed to address homelessness, including tools that encourage those who are living unhoused to accept care and assistance. Enforcement of laws regulating homelessness and actions to remove encampments still involve legal risk to the City through other constitutional protections or theories—the Grants Pass holding did not extend beyond the Eighth Amendment.

While homelessness continues to grow throughout the United States, and particularly the state of California, the City of Goleta has been a leader in adopting a proactive approach to addressing homelessness using evidence-based methods. Recent research supports the notion that the best (in fact only) solution to homelessness is aƯordable housing12.

The challenge is that Goleta is one of the most expensive rental housing markets in the nation. Currently, the median rent in Goleta is $3,500/month3; while the median salary in Goleta is $113,889. At this salary, a single wage earner could reasonably aƯord $2,847/month (30% of their total income). This disparity of nearly $700 shows that median wages do not support median rents. A minimum wage earner in Goleta earns $16.00 an hour and could aƯord a rent of $768/month (30% of total income). Thus, median rent would require the wages of 4.6 minimum wage earners. With vacancy rates at about 3.2%4, the chance of finding available units is very low. AƯordable units are even rarer. Homelessness results when there are insuƯicient units to meet demand. The leadership of the City of Goleta has long recognized this problem and sought ways to intervene and assist those who need housing.

With respect to people experiencing homelessness, the Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan) adopted in April of 2021 by the Goleta City Council is the guiding policy document for the City, and has been successfully implemented over the last three years.

This status report will provide an overview of the Homelessness Services programs developed by the Neighborhood Services Department in the City of Goleta. Beginning with a review of the Strategic Plan’s objectives, this report will highlight the way Goleta is achieving success. Specifically, by:
 Aligning resources, plans, and oversight of programs with the County of Santa Barbara’s Community Action Plan to Address Homelessness  Conducting specific programs funded through the City’s General Fund:
o Outreach,
o Creation of a by-name list,
o Interim housing,
o Mapping and encampments and responding to public safety concerns, o Building permanent supportive housing,
o Continuing ongoing neighborhood navigation, and,

Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 3 o Engaging community groups, concerned residents, and people with lived experience of homelessness in the work
Additionally, this status report will discuss future eƯorts currently underway for next fiscal year:
 Outreach, housing navigation, safe parking, and permanent placement for people living in vehicles, and
 Directly contracting with a landlord engagement program to both incentivize landlords to rent to formerly homeless people, and to provide financial support to get people into permanent housing.

In the last three years, 161 people experiencing homelessness have been placed in permanent housing. At the same time, 169 new people have been counted as experiencing homelessness. These data points show the need for a larger explanation of the current state of homelessness in Goleta.

Two DiƯerent Methods – Counting People Experiencing
Homelessness
Point-In-Time (PIT) Count Results
The oƯicial count of people experiencing homelessness in each region of the United States is conducted through a national homeless census that is mandated by the federal government’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This is an unfunded but required eƯort using methodologies dictated by HUD. Specifically, HUD requires a onenight count in January (when most people are not in encampments or on the streets).

The City of Goleta is covered by the Annual Countywide Point In Time Count through an eƯort organized by the Continuum of Care (CoC)5. On a cold night in January, 80-100 volunteers cover every census tract in Goleta looking for people sleeping on the streets or in their cars.

The goal is to meet people and ask a few questions about their demographics, how they would rate their mental and physical health, and where they slept last night. The point is to ascertain whether they are homeless, and what their needs might be, in an anonymous survey.

While the survey is mandated, there is no guarantee of accuracy. Here are some of the problems with this methodology:
5 Throughout this status report, there will be references to organizations and departments dedicated to ending homelessness in Santa Barbara County. The Strategic Plan outlines most of these diƯerent stakeholders in some detail. See this link for more information on the Continuum of Care.

Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 4  Surveys are conducted by volunteers who may have little to no expertise in finding and contacting people experiencing homelessness;
 Volunteers must cover large areas of the county and may not have time to capture all data;
 A one-night count will inevitably miss people who are hidden or in remote areas; and,  Not everyone sleeping in a vehicle is homeless, so vehicle over-counts are possible.

The data for the Point in Time Count for the City of Goleta are presented below:
*Sheltered people are counted where the shelter is located. Goleta’s sheltered people are placed in shelters that are not in the City limits.

Aside from the structural problems with this count mentioned above, the Point In Time Count neglects the fact that many people who are homeless consider Goleta as home, but on this given night, may not have been there.

Therefore, while the Point In Time Count is an important national measure that creates a snapshot for regions, it is essential to identify who homeless people are. An examination of the history of best practices across the country indicates that the best way to end homelessness is to identify each person, assess their needs, get them housing, and provide supportive services to meet the specific needs of each person. This methodology is referred to as Housing First. A key component of Housing First strategy is the By-Name list, where each person in an area is identified, assessed, and prioritized for services-based community identified priorities. In Santa Barbara County, the focus is on length of time homeless and level of disability.
“By Name List” Results
In Goleta, the benefit of the Strategic Plan implementation has been suƯicient staƯ resources to create a comprehensive by-name list. Using the list of people identified as homeless who indicate Goleta as their home, and adding street-level information from 53 44 29

Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 5 outreach providers, staƯ created the by-name list that facilitates case management on a weekly basis.

The list changes as new information is collected, new people enroll, people move to shelter or housing, or people leave the area.

As Figure 1 shows, in May, 2024, 196 people were identified as homeless, with 112 in encampments, 57 in shelters and 27 living in vehicles.

Figure 1. State of Homelessness in May
StaƯ created a reliable tracking system starting in January 2024. The results of these eƯorts are presented monthly in Figure 2 below.:

Figure 2. By Name List Tracking January to June 2024.

Figure 2 above illustrates how City staƯ are tracking inflows and outflows of people into and out of homelessness. The trends show a fairly stable homeless population with a consistent monthly placement of people into housing. The gap illustrates that there is still a need to place approximately 200 people into housing. This gap is not the function of large numbers of inflows, as the chart below shows more clearly. Rather, Goleta has a population of people who have been homeless here for quite some time (chronically homeless). 112

Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 6 The spikes in people placed in permanent housing in February and May reflect two diƯerent phases of people moving into the Housing Authority of Santa Barbara County’s Buena Tierra project – permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness.

Figure 2 above shows that there is a need to place 200 individuals into housing. Figure 3 below shows that the rate of people falling into homelessness (and entered into the Coordinated Entry System) roughly matches the people being placed in permanent housing.

This positive trend does not eliminate the need to house those who are currently homeless, about 200 people.

Homelessness Strategic Plan Goals and Measures of
Success
The Homelessness Strategic Plan covered a lot of ground and provided a broad survey of the work done regionally to end homelessness, as well as describing the history of Goleta’s eƯorts. It depicts the growing eƯorts Goleta continues to play to tie into regional work funded by the Federal Government, the State of California and the County of Santa Barbara.

The Strategic Plan was also a model of democratic engagement with the Goleta community. Through a series of meetings, interviews, and focus groups with experts, concerned residents, service providers, government oƯicials, and people experiencing homelessness, the Plan painstakingly examined dozens of potential interventions the City could use to address homelessness.

The Goals of the Strategic Plan
 Increase access to critical services for the homeless (Access) Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 7  Reduce the impacts of homelessness on the community (Reduce Impacts)  Prevent at-risk individuals from becoming homeless (Prevention)  Increase the supply of transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and emergency housing (Housing)
Over the last three years, Neighborhood Services, in partnership with Public Works and Planning and Environmental Review have accomplished many tasks related to these goals.

Below is a list, by year, of these activities.

Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 10 = Strong improvement over time
= Issue has some overall success, but continued eƯorts are needed = Measure is going in the wrong direction and new eƯorts are needed Measure 1: Reducing the number of houseless residents living in Goleta based on a reduction in the Annual Point In Time Count.

Status: The Point in Time Count results (summarized above) show an overall decrease in the number of homeless people counted between 2020 and 2024 from 166 in 2020 to 148 in 2024 a net decrease of 18 people, or an 11% decrease.

While this decrease is encouraging, the By Name list shows a higher number of homeless people. We have discovered that through outreach and ongoing connection with people in encampments, in shelters, and living in vehicles, the total number of homeless people is higher – 196 at last count. In assessing the reduction in the number of homeless people, we also should recognize that new people are becoming homeless all the time. The Point in Time Count number is a good snapshot of the state of homelessness on a given night. However, it is not the best measure of what is actually happening on the ground.

As discussed above and repeated here, Goleta is matching its current inflow of homeless people with permanent housing opportunities.

Measure 2: Reducing the number of people living in vehicles in Goleta based on a reduction in the Annual Point In Time Count.

Status: The Point in Time Count results show an overall decrease in the number of people living in vehicles in Goleta counted between 2020 and 2024 from 113 in 2020 to 82 in 2024, a net decrease of 31 people, or a 27% decrease.

In this case, one should recognize that people living in vehicles are often only loosely attached to a geographic area. Overall, Santa Barbara County has seen an increase in people living in vehicles. Anecdotally, Goleta residents report more people living in their vehicles on residential streets.

Measure 3: Maintaining or increasing the number of partnerships with regional agencies or community groups.

Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 11 Status: The Appendix lists the rapid growth of City resources and new programs established in the City over the last 10 years. While new funding from the State of California and Federal COVID relief drove some of these initiatives, the City has increased the scope and number of programs paid for out of the General Fund significantly from $164,359 in 2020-2021 to a high of $962,405 (including COVID funds) in 2022-2023. This is an increase of 486%.

The City of Goleta has hired a full-time staƯ person and continues to dedicate a budget of over $860,000 (including staƯing costs), providing ample financial support to sustain programs and partnerships.

Measure 4: Maintaining or increasing the number of weekly meal and showering opportunities within Goleta
Status: In November of 2023, SBACT, under contract with the City of Goleta opened a Neighborhood Navigation Center at Christ Lutheran Church.

OƯering services one day a week, including lunch and connection to Coordinated Entry Services and interim housing, this is the first opportunity for weekly meals in Goleta in quite some time. The turnout at this site has been low and SBACT is considering other sites closer to public transportation. Showers of Blessing has indicated interest in providing showers at a new site that is closer to where homeless people reside and hang out.

SBACT researched numerous sites for a navigation center. This site was the only one that was available at the time of the search due to a variety of factors (e.g., some properties colocated with childcare programs, some property owners not responding). City staƯ are exploring the possibility of using a diƯerent one-day-a-week site starting sometime in the Fall of 2024.

Measure 5: Maintaining or increasing the number of individuals supported through rental assistance based on reports from housing agencies Status: According to the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)7 Goleta had the following breakdown of those receiving federal rental assistance:

Year No. of Units % Occupied # of People % Extremely
Low Income
2021 591 91% 1,108 79%
2022 599 90% 1,098 78%
2023 603 88% 1,095 78%
7 https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/assthsg.html
Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 12 The table above shows the status of all people in Goleta receiving federal rental assistance from all HUD programs.

Goleta is in a building mode. Goleta’s inclusionary housing policy and recently adopted Housing Element insure that each new project in Goleta will have an aƯordability component. In addition, the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara completed a 60-unit permanent supportive housing project for people experiencing homelessness in 2024 and expects to complete another 100 units of housing for very low-income people with disabilities by early 2026.

Each agency that contracts with Goleta for homelessness services (City Net, Good Samaritan Shelter, and New Beginnings) have flexible funding as part of their budget for rapid rehousing and some ongoing rental assistance. Therefore, it is anticipated that many of the people experiencing homelessness enrolled in these programs will receive rental assistance toward permanent housing.

Measure 6: Maintaining or increasing number of aƯordable housing units within Goleta as measured by the Planning and Environmental Review Department (PER)
Status: The PER aƯordable housing inventory of rental units at or below 80% Area Median Income is:
 408 Units in 2022
 408 Units in 2023
 528 Units in 2024
As part of its Housing Element and commitment to improving the status of renters in Goleta amidst a market where rents are rapidly rising, the City has placed a premium on aƯordable housing development. The Buena Tierra project, built by the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara, is an example – contributing 60 new units of very low-income housing to the area. This number is in addition to the 528 units above.

Measure 7: Annual reductions in the number of community calls initiated regarding homelessness issues based on reports from City Assist, the Santa Barbara SherriƯ’s OƯice, and the Santa Barbara Airport Patrol Logs Status: The total requests for service for Homelessness and Illegal Camping from the City of Goleta City Assist Data base by fiscal year were:
 111 for 2021-2022
 127 for 2022-2023
 94 for 2023-2024
Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 13 This measure is poorly articulated in the Strategic Plan. The SheriƯ’s data is duplicated in Measure 9 and there is no source of data from the Airport. Therefore, what is reported here are the calls for service for Homelessness and Illegal Camping to City Assist.

City Assist requests for service increased in FY 2022-2023 from FY2021-2022 by 13 requests or 10%. Requests dropped between FY 2022-2023 and FY 2023-2024 by 33 requests or 35%.

It is hard to know how to interpret these results. Some possibilities include:
 As people learned about the City Assist reporting tool, they took advantage of it.

Therefore, the numbers increased.
 When people learned that they could contact the Homelessness Services Coordinator directly, the number of requests may have dropped.  People may have noticed that the number of encampments were decreasing, so the requests went down.
 People may have given up on City government response and stopped reporting homelessness.

Given the number and diversity of possible interpretations and given the lack of data or duplication of data that this measure calls for, this measure will no longer be reported on in future status reports.

Measure 8: Reduction in need for encampment clearing as measured by a decrease in encampments in the encampment tracking database (Fulcrum) 8 Status: Total encampments tracked and cleared by fiscal year:
 6 cleared in 2021-2022
 65 cleared in 2022-2023
 129 cleared and 101 active in 2023-2024
This measure may not be carefully framed. Encampment clearing on its own does nothing to end homelessness. Increasing clearings are more a function of resources invested in this eƯort than successful placements into permanent housing situations. What was observed over the last three years was that it took quite a while for the outreach teams to get mobilized and build trust, and to cover all the ground in the region. Because of County-funded outreach, Goleta also went from one outreach team tracking encampments in Fulcrum to five diƯerent teams among three diƯerent agencies all tracking encampments. Finally, just because an encampment was cleared does not mean that the residents of the encampment participated in services.
8 The City of Goleta uses a Fulcrum software mapping and geolocating system for several Public Works projects. In addition, the County of Santa Barbara adopted its own version of a Fulcrum tracking system for countywide homeless encampments. This mapping and tracking process is being used in conjunction with their California Encampment Relief Fund projects discussed throughout this report.

Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 14 A more impactful measure of reduction in encampments is tracking people from their encampments into interim and permanent housing, rather than following them from one encampment to another. The by-name list is a better measure of success than just noting the movement of encampments. However, use of the Fulcrum database is essential to measure the process of encampment clearing.

This measure should stay in the Strategic Plan; however, it is a process measure – showing activity and eƯort. It does not indicate outcomes.

Measure 9: Year over year reduction in calls for service, reports taken, and arrests made by the SheriƯ’s Department in Goleta
Status: Calls for service, reports taken, and arrests made by fiscal year. (Data from SheriƯ’s Department).
 Year 1: July 1, 2021-June 30, 2022
o Calls for service: 1,504
o Reports taken: 652
o Arrests (includes criminal citations): 464
 Year 2: July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023
o Calls for Service: 1,464
o Report taken: 481
o Arrests (includes criminal citations): 303
 Year 3: July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024
o Calls for Service: 1,043
o Reports taken: 437
o Arrests (includes criminal citations): 279
These data show a remarkable downward trend that is best illustrated graphically:

In terms of public safety and reductions in impacts of homelessness on law enforcement, these data tell a very important story.
 Over the three-year period, calls for service fell by 31%.  Reports taken fell by 33%.
 Arrests fell by 40%.

One cannot assume that these large changes are completely the result of the homelessness services program and the Strategic Plan. However, the decreases are a measure of the Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 15 success of eƯorts on the part of many stakeholders to reduce the impacts of homelessness.

This is a clear improvement.

Measure 10: Maintain or increase annual eƯorts to keep community aware of issues surrounding homelessness in Goleta
Status: This measure was not quantified – SBACT retained for ongoing community engagement.

The Santa Barbara Alliance for Community Transformation (SBACT) was engaged by City StaƯ to coordinate community outreach eƯorts from 2022-2024. These eƯorts included weekly Regional Action Planning (RAP) meetings with stakeholders such as outreach service providers, interim housing providers, permanent housing providers, law enforcement, elected leadership, City staƯ, and community members. Each month, SBACT led a broader community meeting where all interested people are invited and a growing mailing list has been created to include residents, other service providers like CommUnify, UCSB, business owners, churches, CalTrans, and Union Pacific Railroad. In addition, SBACT and City StaƯ have been present at community events such as the Lemon Festival, Public Works Day, State of the City, and CoƯee and Community to discuss how the community can help end homelessness and how the City can better respond to residents’ needs. SBACT also coordinates a regional collaborative (ACT on Homelessness) that seeks to increase communication among South County community members. The initiative is funded by the City of Santa Barbara and Goleta is an active participant.

In addition to the SBACT activities, City staƯ regularly participate in Continuum of Care (CoC) activities and meetings. Goleta has a seat on the CoC Board of Directors, and city staƯ serve in that capacity. City staƯ have also been actively engaged in broader eƯorts to strategically plan homelessness solutions, helping to gain approval and support for interim housing (La Posada and Hedges House of Hope), and the new SBACT Navigation Center (FARO “Lighthouse in Spanish” Center) in downtown Santa Barbara.

Building Blocks and Next Steps - Fiscal Year 24-25
Ongoing eƯorts to address the impacts and find solutions for homelessness continue in Goleta in a broad array of programs. This work is remarkable for its scope (given Goleta’s size) and because the source of much of the current funding for this work is from the City’s General Fund.

County Programs Benefit Goleta Directly
One of the key levers that makes this comprehensive work possible is the cooperation and partnership with the County of Santa Barbara. The County has documented its plans and measured its success and impact on its website. The County has received nearly $100 million in funding from state and federal sources. This massive influx of funding has been Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 16 largely one-time grants of 2-3 years, meaning that much work needs to be done as fast as possible.

Some examples of direct benefits to Goleta from the County funding include:
 Federal American Rescue Program Act (ARPA) COVID-funded outreach teams case managing dozens of unsheltered Goleta residents (managed by Good Samaritan).  Behavioral Wellness outreach provided by their Homelessness Services and Crisis Intervention Teams (working with law enforcement)
 Public Health nurse outreach serving Goleta residents in encampments and at Navigation Centers.

By far the biggest benefits to Goleta directly have been the California Encampment Relief Funds (CERF) from the California Interagency Council on Homelessness. The County has won competitive grants in all three funding rounds of this pool of funds.

CERF-1 provided outreach, encampment clean-up, interim housing placement, and permanent housing support to people living in the CalTrans Highway 101 corridor and Union Pacific Railroad right of way. This $2.52 million grant was projected to shelter 75 people and house 54. The actual outcomes were 250 people served with 73 placed in permanent housing and 72 moved into interim housing. In Goleta, 48 people were served, 5 were placed in permanent housing and 21 entered interim housing. The work that CityNet performed for this contract oƯset some of the funding that Goleta set aside for their contract, meaning that over $100,000 in General Funds were saved in FY 23-24. The program ended May 31, 2024.

CERF-2, a $6 million grant, had similar goals, to clear encampments (this time focused on waterways) and place people into interim and/or permanent housing. The original goal was 50 people served with 20 entering interim housing and 20 entering permanent housing.

However, as of May 16, 2024, 107 people were served, 20 entered interim housing and 15 people have already been placed in permanent housing. The project is scheduled to continue through FY 24-25. Goleta has benefited from this program because of its many creeks. Outreach workers have contacted and worked with dozens of people in San Pedro, San Jose, Atascadero, Maria Ygnacio, and Devereaux creeks. This grant is managed by Good Samaritan and has already maxed out its caseload. However, the 12 Goleta residents in the program will benefit from case management, housing navigation, interim, and permanent housing placement.

CERF-3, an $8 million dollar grant, this funding is focused on people living in vehicles. In these cases, people are encouraged to move from their vehicles into permanent housing.

The program provides rental assistance, housing navigation, as well as wrap-around services like alcohol and drug treatment and mental health support. New Beginnings Counseling Center is the provider of these services and will link clients (when they are interested) to Safe Parking as an interim housing option. The City of Goleta has two of the twenty-seven Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 17 encampment sites countywide (these are clusters of people parking together on public streets, not to be confused with Safe Parking program sites) that the County has identified.

The County of Santa Barbara considers Goleta an important partner in its ongoing work to end homelessness. Goleta benefits from shared funding, leveraged resources and programs, and a strategic partnership that enables the resources invested by the City of Goleta to go further and have greater impact.

Goleta’s General Fund Powers Push to Functional Zero
“Functional Zero” is a term used to describe what the end result of eƯorts to end homelessness might look like. Unless and until there is suƯicient aƯordable housing to alleviate people’s rent burdens, there will always be pressures pushing people into homelessness. The hope is that our future eƯorts will create a situation where homelessness is a one-time experience for people, it is rare, and it is as short as possible. The situation where people are helped out of homelessness quickly and eƯectively is referred to as functional zero.

As the Appendix shows, the City of Goleta has invested millions of dollars toward ending homelessness and establishing Functional Zero. The current state of programs acts like a set of building blocks that build toward the apex goal of permanent housing.

The key to Functional Zero is the “By-Name List”. Simply, as mentioned above, the ByName list is a comprehensive list of all homeless people in a jurisdiction. The key to ending homelessness is placing people in housing. To do this, one must know who each person is, what their needs are, what they want, and their obstacles to housing. A By-Name List tracks each person’s location, needs, wants and obstacles (at a minimum). It is also a good idea to learn people’s strengths, family connections and other resources they might have access to.

In Goleta, staƯ have created a comprehensive by-name list built from outreach observations and data from the County-managed Homelessness Management Information System.

Base – Outreach
Building on the success of two previous years, the City has contracted with City Net to expand its Goleta program. They will maintain their full-time outreach team and enhance it with part-time evening and weekend shifts to increase the likelihood of building trust and cooperation of people living unsheltered.

City Net has been very successful in encouraging people to move into interim housing at PATH, La Posada Cabins, and Hedges House of Hope. They have also moved about 10 people oƯ the street directly into permanent housing at the Buena Tierra project and with private landlords.

Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 18 In addition, the City has contracted with New Beginnings Counseling Center to conduct vehicle outreach through December 2024. This work enhances the growing CERF-3 program mentioned above by providing outreach workers targeting Goleta residents.

Level 1 – Interim Housing
Goleta contracts directly for interim housing beds. Two beds are at the downtown Santa Barbara shelter managed by PATH. Often, clients are managed by City Net with the goal of placing them into permanent housing. Goleta also contracts with Good Samaritan for four beds at Hedges House of Hope. This interim housing program benefits by its linkage to sobriety services and detox within the Good Samaritan network. Hedges House of Hope recently placed 20 Goleta residents from its Isla Vista location into the Buena Tierra Permanent Supportive Housing Project. In addition, although Goleta did not invest directly in the 80-bed interim housing program La Posada, 20 people from Goleta recently relocated from their encampments into this project managed by Good Samaritan.

Level 2 – Permanent Supportive Housing
Permanent Supportive Housing is subsidized rental housing with suƯicient services for each resident to help keep them in permanent housing. Historically, Santa Barbara County’s aƯordable housing providers have not had enough resources to adequately provide programs like mental health, alcohol and drug addiction services, and other services to truly help people with significant disabilities stay in permanent housing. This situation is changing thanks to expansion in MediCal (CalAIM) that funds case management and tailored programs for each person. In addition, the County Housing Authority has received specialized funding from the State of California that allows for enhanced services as well.

Goleta has benefited from the work of the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara.

Much of the housing in Goleta occupied by people with very low incomes was built and continues to be managed by the Housing Authority. In 2022, the City of Goleta invested its COVID funds in a permanent supportive housing project. This 60-unit project, Buena Tierra, was a conversion of an old motel, Super 8, into studio apartments for people who were formerly homeless. The one-time Goleta investment into this project was $600,000. While the Housing Authority is managing this project, Good Samaritan is coordinating services with case managers from multiple agencies and organizations including, but not limited to, Cottage Health, County Behavioral Wellness, CenCal, Telemed, the Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, and others.

In future years, at Heritage Ridge, another 100 units of permanent supportive housing will be built by the Housing Authority and will enable more homeless residents to maintain their home in Goleta.

Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 19 Level 3 – Housing in the Private Rental Market and/or Homeless Prevention Service-enriched housing is of particular importance to people with disabilities such as behavioral health problems including substance misuse or persistent mental illness.

However, as reported in a comprehensive research report from the University of California San Francisco on the status of California’s homelessness population9, a minority of people experiencing homelessness suƯer from such disabilities or are chronically homeless. In order to rapidly address homelessness, there needs to be a strategy for rapidly placing people into the housing market and ultimately preventing homelessness altogether.

The City of Goleta funds the Rental Housing Mediation Program. Housed in the City of Santa Barbara, this program helps hundreds of people in Goleta annually who are in danger of losing their housing to work with their landlords on staying housed. This program has served residents in the Goleta area even before the City was oƯicially created.

Most people who move from homelessness to the rental market require some form of rental assistance. The Housing Authority issues rental vouchers (formerly known as Section 8) now called Housing Choice Vouchers so that qualifying people only need to spend one-third of their income on rent. Unfortunately, only 25% of people who qualify for Housing Choice Vouchers receive them, with a years-long waiting list. However, homelessness is a priority preference category that helps people move up the list more quickly. This homeless preference also applies to the many Housing Authority properties that are rent restricted.

Some of the providers under contract with the City, specifically New Beginnings Counseling Center, Good Samaritan, PATH, and CityNet have access internally to rapid rehousing funding. These funds can cover expenses like first and last month’s rent, deposits, and movein costs. City of Goleta staƯ work with all of these agencies on a case-by-case basis to help people move into housing with private landlords.

New Initiatives – Next Steps in Strategic Plan
To provide a rapid exit from homelessness, two areas need further eƯort – landlord engagement, and meeting the needs of people living in vehicles. The Neighborhood Services Department StaƯ have issued Requests for Proposals in these two areas to better plan for future programs and solutions.

Landlord Engagement
If there were a true housing market for all types of people, homelessness would not exist. In reality, market pressures have created a situation in Goleta (and most of California) where landlords can ask for top dollar for their units. There are simply not enough units to house everyone who wants to live in Goleta. Therefore, in order to house homeless people with 9 https://homelessness.ucsf.edu/our-impact/studies/california-statewide-study-people-experiencinghomelessness Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan Three Year Status Report – August 2024 Page 20 some kind of rental assistance or suƯicient employment income to pay rent, willing landlords must be found.

Santa Barbara County currently has numerous programs in other jurisdictions that match landlords to formerly homeless people with enough income and support to move in. In June of 2024, the City of Goleta issued a Request for Proposals for a three-year program that will house 25 households in rental units somewhere between Gaviota and Carpinteria. The new program will provide landlords with incentives, insurance for any damages, and a 24-hour hotline to handle any emergencies. The program will also provide deposits for residents.

Vehicle Resident Study
Recent research by experts in vehicular homelessness show that people living in vehicles have diƯerent needs and expectations than people living on the streets or in encampments.10 Anecdotal evidence in the City of Goleta suggests that many of the people living in their vehicles in Goleta are often students, employed, or nomadic and living in Recreational Vehicles. These people, while technically homeless, will not require the same kinds of programs and services, nor may they be interested in moving into permanent housing in Goleta. In order to plan for what may be a growing population who seem to be choosing to live in vehicles, Neighborhood Services staƯ have created a request for proposals to conduct research on the size of this subpopulation and their needs as they diƯer from others who are homeless.

Conclusion
Considering several measures including the numbers of people placed into both permanent and interim housing, the process of identifying, tracking, and serving people experiencing homelessness, and the large decrease in the number of law-enforcement engagements, the Goleta Homelessness Strategic Plan has demonstrated significant successes. While homelessness continues to be a problem, and the level of housing instability is increasing, Goleta has developed a response protocol that has made real improvements in the lives of people experiencing homelessness.

It is the intention of Neighborhood Services staƯ to report annually on the progress of this eƯort using the measures articulated by the Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan should be revised and renewed after 5 years, in 2026. While it may be naïve to hope that Goleta will have achieved functional zero by this point, it is not an impossibility given the level of new housing being proposed. The question will be whether enough continued funding for rental assistance and social services will be maintained to continue the positive trends observed here.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: Effective August 17, 2023
TO: City of Goleta Staff and Law Enforcement Personnel
FROM: Jaime A. Valdez, Neighborhood Services Director
Winnie Cai, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Enforcement Recommendations of 12.01.030 Camping and Open Fires in Certain Areas Prohibited—Generally—Exceptions
Pursuant to the new provisions of Goleta Municipal Code Section 12.01.030 regarding camping in designated high-fire risk areas, the following clarifying points should be considered.

While it is the intent of the City of Goleta for all people to have access to safe and secure places to live, the concerns about spreading wildfires take precedence in areas designated as “high fire.” High fire areas are identified on attached map.

All persons in a “camp” as defined, with “camp facilities” and “camp paraphernalia” as defined, in a “high fire” area as defined, will be considered in violation of the City’s Ordinance, regardless of whether they have been offered shelter or shelter is available.

City staff and/or their assigned contractors will make every effort to offer shelter, services, and transportation, if available; however, encampment clearing will not depend on the individuals’ acceptance of these offers.

City staff and/or their assigned contractors will post a 72-hour notice of removal of abandoned property.

If the encampment resident(s) refuse to leave, law enforcement will ensure that people in violation of the ordinance be removed from the premises as quickly as possible, and, if appropriate, cited for a misdemeanor violation.

City staff1 requests that instances of activity—including contact with individuals up to and including arrest—resulting from enforcement of 12.01.030 be shared with City staff thorough the Community Resource Deputy or other channel deemed appropriate by the City of Goleta Chief of Police Services.
1 Neighborhood Services Director, Homelessness Services Coordinator, and PW Parks & Open Space Manager.
