3 Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has established three predetermined objectives and outcomes designed to capture the range of community impacts that occur as a result of CDBG and HOME-funded programs. Each activity or program funded with CDBG or HOME must fall under one of three objectives and one of three outcomes. The framework of selecting these objectives and outcomes is known as HUD’s CPD Outcome Performance Measur ement System. Here are the objectives and outcomes to choose from:
Objectives
• Creating Suitable Living Environments relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment, from physical problems with their environment to social issues. • Providing Decent Housing covers the wide range of housing activities where the purpose is to meet individual family or community housing needs. • Creating Economic Opportunities applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation.
Outcomes
• Availability/Accessibility applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities, housing, or shelter avail able or accessible to low - and moderate-income people, including persons with disabilities. • Affordability applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low- and moderate -income people and is appropriate to use whenever an activi ty is lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a low-income household.
• Sustainability applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low- and moderate-income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods.
Huntington Beach’s Consolidated Plan Nee ds Assessment was developed by reviewing Census statistical data and building upon already adopted planning documents, coupled with consultation with housing, homeless and service providers, City Departments, and the public via community meetings, public h earings, and a Community Needs Assessment Survey. The result was the formation of seven areas of priority need, including:
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan
4 1. Households with Housing Problems - The need for affordable housing options in the City continue to be high, based on the proportion of households in the City experiencing cost burdens.
2. Homelessness - Homelessness continues to be growing and pressing issue in Huntington Beach and regionally. The City will continue to fund and support efforts that address homelessness and serve persons experiencing homelessness.
3. Special Needs Populations - There are a number of special needs populations in the City that need continued services and support. These include but are not limited to persons with severe mental illness, veterans, person s with substance abuse addictions, and seniors.
4. Priority Community Services - There are a number of vital community services in the City that need continued services and support. These community services serve low to moderate income households and include activities such as youth and senior services.
5. Priority Community and Public Facilities - The City recognizes the high need for public improvement activities throughout the City in order to provide for and maintain a safe and decent environment for its citizens. Identified priority needs include, but are not limited to, homeless shelters, parks and recreational centers, youth centers, and healthcare facilities.
6. Priority Infrastructure Improvements - The City recognizes the high need for public improvement activities throughout the City in order to provide for and maintain a safe and decent environment for its citizens. Identified priority needs include, but are not limited to, street and road improvements, sidewalk improvements, flood drainage improvements, and tree planting.
7. Other Housing and Community Development Needs - The City has identified the need to provide support for the HOME and CDBG programs in the City, as well as to affirmatively further fair housing. These activities are vital to the contin uation of the City’s efforts to administer these programs.
In FY 2021/22, the City of Huntington Beach is proposing to fund several programs to meet the priority needs of Huntington Beach residents as listed in Table 1, above.
Evaluation of past performance
The first year of the FY 2020/21 – 2024/25 Consolidated Plan is still in process and performance accomplishments will be fully captured in the year -end FY 2020/21 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). However, below is a summary of performance to date.
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan
5 Decent Housing
• In FY 2020/21, the City provided $2.8 million in HOME funding for a 43 -unit affordable senior housing project at 18431 Beach Boulevard. The project is being built in partnership with the city’s local Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), Jamboree Housing Corporation. Nine Seventeen units will be HOME -income and rent restricted. Upon completion of this project that is currently underway, the City will have accomplished nearly 50% 85% of its 20 -unit development goal for the 2020/21-2024/25 Consolidated Plan timeframe.
• Also in the area of providing dece nt housing, the City allocated $642,000 in HOME funds to assist 55 households with tenant based rental assistance in FY 2020/21. The 24- month program is currently being administered by three operators: Mercy House, Interval House, and Families Forward. The program was integral to the city’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The Residential Rehabilitation Program consists of a grant and loan program. First, the Owner-Occupied Single -Family, Condo, and Mobile Home Grant Program Home Improvement Program offers a one -time grant not to exceed $10,000 to low -income homeowners for deferred maintenance and health and safety -related household repairs. The City’s Owner -Occupied Single -Family Rehabilitation Loan Program, in comparison, offers low-income homeowners up to $75,000 in deferred payment loans.
Both programs are intended to assist low-income homeowners to make much needed repairs to keep their property safe and livable. CDBG funds in the amount of $255,000 was awarded to homeowner residential rehabilitation in FY 2020/21.
Suitable Living Environment
• The City’s Special Code Enforcement program continues to accomplish their goal of assisting 600 housing units each year in CDBG-eligible areas.
• The City has assisted various public service agencies. While the number of public service programs assisted with CDBG funds has been reduced due to of decreased CDBG entitlement funds, the City continues to work towards its goals in providing quality and effective services to youth, homeless, seniors, the disabled, and illiterate adults, as well as fair housing services funded through Administrative costs, to the Huntington Beach community.
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan
6 • The City has a goal to assist 5,000 persons with improved or new public facilities during the 2020/21-2024/25 Consolidated Plan period. To date, the City has not awarded any funds to public facility projects.
• The City used CDBG funding in FY 2020/21 for the ADA Curb Cuts in Maintenance Zone 3 Project with an anticipated performance goal of assisting nearly 2,000 persons. In FY 2021/22, the City will continue making sidewalk improvements in Maintenance Zone 5.
• At the end of FY 2019/20 and again during FY 2020/21 , the City was awarded a special allocation of $2,159,775 in CARES Act CDBG funding to help Huntington Beach prepare, prevent, and respond to the Coronavirus pandemic. Of these funds, the City awarded over $2 million, plus an additional $1.3 million in CDBG entitlement funds and program income to the operations of a new emergency homeless shelter at 17631 Cameron Lane. The shelter provides 147 beds for homeless residents who receive wrap around services including health, employment, and o ther services to gradually move them towards more stable housing. The shelter is operated by Mercy House.
Economic Opportunity
• During 2015/16, City staff worked closely with two grassroots groups established in the Oak View community, one of the most impa cted areas of the City, and one in which many resources have been concentrated in recent years. These efforts included increased outreach to property owners and residents of the area and expansion of the number of materials provided in Spanish . These efforts resulted in a bilingual Code Enforcement officer being specifically hired to serve the Oak View community. Staff has continued to connect the Fair Housing Foundation to the Oak View community, and they are now non -voting partners of the O ak View Collaborative, which will give them increased access to the clientele in need being served out of the Oak View Family Resource Center.
• The City continues to utilize CDBG f unding for a literacy program at the Oak View Library which enhances the skills of the Huntington Beach workforce.
• While not funded with federal CDBG funds, the City in 2017, prepared a comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. The purpose of the Strategy was to identify the highest priority economic development objectives in Huntington Beach, and to set goals, policies and recommended actions for short term (0 -2 years), m id-term (3 -5 years), and long-term economic decisions.

Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan 10
AP-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
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)).
The City developed its five -year (2020/21 – 2024/25) Consolidated Plan through consultation with the Orange County Housing Authority; City departments; health and social service providers; and adjacent local governments. As a means of gaining i nput from housing, homeless and social service providers active in Huntington Beach, the City provided agencies a brief survey requesting input on services provided, priority needs and gaps in services.
The City funds a Homeless Task Force made up of staff from the City’s Police Department, and it consists of a homeless outreach coordinator, case managers, and Huntington Beach Police Department Homeless Liaison Officers who coordinate services provided to the homeless.
The Coordinator oversees a collaborative comprised of local homeless service providers and faith-based organizations who conduct monthly meetings with the purpose of synchronizing efforts and sharing information to most effectively address the issue of homelessness in Huntington Beach. It is the goal of the City to provide the homeless population with skilled individuals who are able to navigate the County’s Coordinated Entry System. Additionally, these individuals must have knowledge of broader housing opportunities, mental health and addiction resources, medical resources, and job resources. In 2021/22, this team will include one Homeless Outreach Coordinator and three (3) part-time Homeless Case Managers, all of whom work with the Homeless Liaison Police Officers, to further increase the level of service to the homeless population.
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 City of Huntington Beach, through its Homeless Outreach Case Manager, participates in the Orange County Continuum of Care, led and coordinated by 2 -1-1 Orange County and the OC Community Services. This public -nonprofit partnership helps ensure comprehensive and 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 region al convener of the year-round CoC planning process and as a catalyst for the involvement of the public and private agencies that make-up the regional homeless system of care.
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan
11 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 supporti ve 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.
6. Reducing chronic homelessness in Orange County and addressing the needs of homeless families and individuals using motels to meet their housing needs.
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 Huntington Beach does not receive ESG funds, so this is not applicable.

22 EXPECTED RESOURCES
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c) (1,2)
For fiscal year 2021/22, the City of Huntington Beach will receive a total of $1,256,461 in CDBG entitlement funds and will have a prior year carryover of $86,951, for a total of $1,343,412. The City does not anticipate any prior year CDBG funds carried forward or program income. The City does not have any income from float -funded activities or surplus from urban renewal settlements, sale of real property, prior period adjustments, loans outstanding or written off, CDBG acquired property available for sale, or lump sum drawdown p ayments. Nor is the City funding any “urgent need activities.” CDBG funds will be used for public services, public infrastructure improvements, housing services in support of eligible HOME activities, a single- family rehabilitation program, code enforceme nt, CDBG administration, and fair housing services.
The City will also receive a HOME entitlement allocation of $618,233. The City does not anticipate any unallocated HOME carryover or program income in FY 2021/22. in The City will use HOME funds for ad ministration of the HOME program, tenant -based rental assistance, and an affordable housing project.
In January 2019, SB -2 (or Permanent Local Housing Allocation funding) was implemented, which levies an additional tax on the sale of property. These reve nues are collected by the state and distributed to local jurisdictions to fund affordable housing projects. With the adoption by the Huntingt0n beach City Council and certification by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the City is now eligible to receive revenues from this funding source. The City of Huntington Beach has received $1.4 million for the first two years and is slated to receive approximately $650,000 per year from this source which can be used to leverage CDBG and HOME funds in the areas of affordable housing and homelessness.
The Huntington Beach Housing Authority also contributes approximately $220,000 annually from the Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for a Homeless Police Liaison Officer (SERAF) as part of the City’s Homeless Taskforce effort.
The City may will also receive a special allocation of HOME-ARP funds to CDBG and/or HOME as part of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief legislation, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which is slated to provide funding for emergency rental relief, development of affordable rental housing for homeless or those at risk of homelessness, supportive social services, and
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan
23 homeowner foreclosure prevention. The City is co nsidering using HOME-ARP funding to provide supportive services at two homeless developments: the Cameron Lane Navi gation Center and the HB Oasis Homekey transitional housing project. Final project allocations will be included in the HOME -ARP Allocation Plan. Details on grants specifically to Huntington Beach are still unknown at this time.
The City will pursue competitive public and private grants for the development and preservation of programs, housing, and services and work to support legislation that promotes funding for future affordable housing during the Consolidated Plan period.

Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan
25 Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Federal funds play a crucial role in implementing the Consolidated Plan. Local, private and non- federal funds are usually insufficient to meet the heavy demand for housing and services in our community. Agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds use those funds as a commitment to receiving other funding sources.
Likewise, the City als o l everages other resources among the formula grant programs. For example, the HOME program is matched by a variety of sources, including private and public investment including the use of low-income housing tax credits. Other future sources of matching funds include inclusionary housing in -lieu fees; residual receipts from loans of the former Redevelopment Agency; and a State SERAF loan repayment of former Redevelopment Low/Mod Housing Funds.
The City has also leveraged CDBG and CDBG-CV funds with local monies to fund the operations of the Cameron Lane Navigation Center, a new emergency homeless shelter that was constructed to provide a safe place for homeless persons to live during the COVID -19 pandemic.
HUD requires a 25% match on HOME funds drawn down for affordable housing. Historically, the City has met the match requirement with the use of former Huntington Beach redevelopment tax increment funds that were layered with HOME funds in developing affordable housing. While redevelopment tax increment funds are no longer available for future match requirements, the City has been utilizing a match surplus derived from prior contributions by the former Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency in developi ng affordable housing developments. The City was required to utilize 20% of these funds to develop low - and moderate - income housing. The City's match surplus is approximately $2,741,888 as of September 30, 2019.
Due to the National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, HUD has waived the City’s HOME Match requirement for all expenditures beginning October 1, 2019 and will continue to do so through September 30, 2021. The City received this waiver on April 24, 2020.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that

Estimate the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income families to whom the jurisdiction will provide affordable housing as defined by HOME 91.215(b)
As described in the Needs Assessment of the City’s Consolidated Plan, over 20% of all Huntington Beach households experience a cost burden, which is defined as spending 30% or more of household income on housing related costs. Therefore, in FY 2021/22, the City is proposing to provide tenant based rental assistance to 57 50 homeless, senior, Veteran, and/or family households. All of these households will be at or below 60% of Area Median Income.
Further, in FY 2020/21, the City allocated $2,830,698 in HOME funds to the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project located at 18431 Beach Boulevard.

34 PROJECTS
AP-35 Projects – 91.220(d)
The City plans to undertake the following CDBG and HOME funded activities during Fiscal Year 2021/22 to address its priority housing and community development needs. All proposed activities are eligible and meet program service targets. Additionally, the City of Huntington Beach has not exceeded any o f its maximum allocations for CDBG public services, CDBG administration, or HOME administration. With a CDBG allocation of $1,256,461 the City of Huntington Beach allocated $185,555 $188,469 for public services, representing just under 15% of the CDBG entitlement. This Annual Action Plan proposes to allocate the following to 2021/22 public services: Homeless Outreach Program ($ 50,000); Cameron Lane Navigation Center Operations Program ($52,737); Senior Services Care Management ($34,555); Children’s Bureau ($80,000); StandUp for Kids Street Outreach ($12,177); and Oakview Family Literacy Program ($9,000). CDBG regulations also permit a maximum allocation of 20% of the annual entitlement, or $251,292, for CDBG administration activities. The City has allocated $221,292 for CDBG Administration and $30,000 to the Fair Housing Foundation, for a total of $251,292, the maximum allowed. Lastly, a maximum of 10% of the annual HOME entitlement, $61,823, was allocated to HOME Program Administration in FY 2021/22.
Consistent with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan for 2020/21 -2024/25, the Annual Action Plan may contain a list of “back -up” projects to be activated during the given program year due to one or more of the following circumstances:
• Additional funding becomes available during the program year from the close out of current projects that were completed under budget.
• More program income becomes available than originally estimated and budgeted in the Annual Action Plan.
• If, during the development of the Annu al Action Plan, the City of Huntington Beach has not definitively decided which public facility or infrastructure improvement project to fund, the City may opt to categorize each option as a “back-up” project until further project and budget planning is performed. Initiation and funding of one or more of the “back -up” projects would not constitute a substantial amendment as defined in the Citizen Participation Plan. Preferential consideration will be given to those projects that demonstrate the ability to spend CDBG funds in a timely manner, consistent with the City’s goal to meet CDBG timeliness rules, as well as those projects

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan discusses housing need by income category. Income levels identified are 1) extremely low -income; 2) very low - income, and; 3) low - and moderate-income households. Based on HUD recommendations, general relative priorities for funding will be as follows:
HIGH PRIORITY: Activities to address this need will be funded during the five-year period.
MEDIUM PRIORITY: If funds are available, activities to address this need may be funded by the City during the five -year period. The City may also use other sources of funds and take actions to locate other sources of funds.
LOW PRIORITY: It is not likely the City will fund activities to address this need during the five- year period.
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan
36 The highest priority has been assigned to the needs of the lowest income residents, based on the assumption that in this high-cost real estate market, they are at greater risk of displacement, homelessness or other serious housing situations due to limited financial resources and other limitations they may face.
The Consolidated Plan ident ifies several obstacles in meeting underserved needs, including the high and sustained demand for public services, as well as the shortage of funding to address the community's needs.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low -income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
Huntington Beach is an urbanized coastal community located in northwestern Orange County, California. Muc h of the City’s residentially designated land has already been developed.
Future residential development rests primarily upon the recycling of existing parcels and infill development. Surrounding Huntington Beach are the cities of Seal Beach to the north west, Westminster to the northeast, Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa to the east, Newport Beach to the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest.
The City utilizes CDBG and HOME funds for projects and programs operated citywide.
However, the majority of CDBG-funded infrastructure and facility projects are targeted to the most-needy neighborhoods: those census tracts where 51% or more of the residents are low - or moderate-income.
Specifically, for Code Enforcement, after establishing the general de finition for purposes of code enforcement, the City conducted a visual (windshield) survey of CDBG eligible areas for properties, businesses, parkways, alleys, and structures that met the definition. Based on the visual (windshield) survey, the City determ ined that low- and moderate-income areas within the area bound by Bolsa Chica Street to the west, Bolsa Avenue to the north, Brookhurst Street to the east, and Atlanta Avenue to the south contained the most properties with deterioration. In some cases, som e structures had multiple violations per parcel. This target area is known as the “Special Code Enforcement Target Area .” Inclusive of the following census tracts, the Special Code Enforcement Target Area is comprised of 46,650 persons, 32,395, or 69.44%, of which are of low-moderate income.

61 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Throughout the country and the Los Angeles and Orange County region, homelessness has become an increasing challenge. Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include a lack of housing affordable to low - and moderate-income persons, increases in people living below pover ty levels, reductions in subsidies to the poor, drug/alcohol abuse, and de - institutionalization of the mentally ill. In March 2015, t he City Council authorized formation of a Homeless Ta sk Force Subcommittee to coordinate homeless and housing efforts and provide City support and guidance regarding services. The Task Force is keeping the City Council apprised of issues and services and makes recommendations as needed. In addition, the Office of Business Develo pment and the Huntington Beach Police Department utilize CDBG public service funds for several part-time Homeless Case Mangers to serve as the City's point persons for homeless issues. Funding will continue in 2021/22.
At the county level, 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 (PIT) Count, is congressionally mandated for all communities that receive U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding for homeless programs and takes place once every two years. The most recent PIT in Orange County was held on a single night in January 2019 with the assistance of many homeless service provid ers. The January 2021 PIT was postponed due to safety concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Orange County January 2019 PIT count enumerated 6,860 homeless individuals in Orange County, reflecting an over 40% increase from the 2017 tally of 4,792 homeless people.
However, Orange County officials said it would be misleading to make a direct comparison to prior years due to the change in methodology and more thorough accounting of homeless.
Among the 6,860 homeless counted, 2,899 (42%) were in some kind of emergency or transitional shelter. This reflects an increase of 691 sheltered homeless from 2017, or 31%.
In Huntington Beach specifically, there were 349 total persons counted, with 289 unsheltered, and 60 that were sheltered.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless person s (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan
62 individual needs
Beginning in 2015, the City assigned a full -time officer dedicated to homeless issues and has continued to allocate resources as the number of homeless continues to grow. The City's efforts have grown to include a Homeless Task Force (with two full -time officers, 1 program coordinator and up to 4 case managers) and the construction of the Cameron Lane Navigation Center to provide shelter for 174 eligible homeless individuals with ties to Huntington Beach.
This multi-pronged approach is accomplished in a variety of ways such as weekly outreach to engage homeless individuals and determine their needs, reuniting individuals with family members, working within the County's Coordinated Entry System to match individuals and families with housing opportunities, assisting in eviction prevention, maintaining walk -in office hours at the South Police Substation, as well as working cooperatively with local schools to assist children who are homeless or housing insecure. Since 2015, officers and case managers have helped hundreds of individuals transition off the streets (with many being reunified with family).
Also, in FY 2 021/22, the City will provide funding to the StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Program where volunteer staff scout streets of Huntington Beach searching for youth who are currently unsheltered or unstably housed. StandUp for Kids serves teens and youth (ages 12 - 24) who are homeless, at -risk, aging-out of foster care, or runaways to equip t hem with the tools they need to transition from life on the street to a life of stability and opportunity.
The Street Outreach program provides basic services (food, clothing, hygiene items, and survival kits) as well as medical assistance and compassionate mentoring.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
In FY 2019/20, the City Council approved purchase of property located at 17631 Cameron Lane using non-federal funds. Via two substantial amendments to the FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan, and one substantial amendment to the FY 2020/21 Annual Action Plan, the City Council allocated a total of $3,167,604 $3,367,604 in federal CDBG and CARES Act funds to help offset costs associated operating the homeless facility . The Substantial Amendment to this FY 2021/22 Annual Action Plan will allocate an additional $52,737 in CDBG for operation assistance.
The need for such a facility has increased in recent months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Navigation Center is operated by Mercy House, a non-profit organization that provides wrap around services on-site to help persons experiencing homelessness “navigate” eligible social services, medical services and benefits to stabilize them with the ultimate goal of transitioning them to more permanent housing.
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan
63 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 livin g, 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
In an ongoing effort to continue to address the needs of the homeless and those at risk of homelessness, the City will focus on the development of sustainable and effective programming, including: applying for short and long-term available funding; partnerships with experienced service providers capable of leveraging other funding; the ability to create or secure affordable housing; perform homeless case management; and engage the homeless through a street outreach component in ord er to better connect them to available services. The City’s goal is to expand on current homeless programs and activities to assist with their successful transition toward self-sufficiency.
In FY 20 21/22, the City will continue its dedication to assisting families in Huntington Beach with much needed rental assistance to prevent homelessness. Over $550,000 in HOME funds will be allocated to the Huntington Beach Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program to help house 57 50 extremely low and very -low i ncome homeless, senior, Veteran, and family households.
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 an d 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.
To help prevent homelessness and protect at -risk populations, Huntington Beach will continue to participate in the Orange County Continuum of Care System to provide assistance to persons at risk of becoming homeless. In addition, the City continues to pursue opportunities to expand its affordable housing inventory to benefit primarily low -income renters.
The City does not receive Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding and therefore is not required to develop a discharge coordination policy. However, the City will continue to address a discharge coordination policy

65 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Huntington Beach has a strong history of supporting affordable housing. The City has adopted numerous provisions in its Zoning Ordinance that facilitate a range of residential development types and encourage affordable housing. In addition, the City and its former Redevelopment Agency have provided direct financial assistance to support affordable and mixed income housing projects. The loss of Redevelopment Housing Funds, which previously generated approximately $3 million per year for housing activities, will dampen the level of future affordable housing production in the City.
In addition to funding constraints, the primary barrier to the provision of affordable housing in Huntington Beach is the lack of vacant land suitable for residential development. Separate owners of smaller parcels hold much of the underdeveloped and residentially zoned land in the City. This calls for alternative policy tools such as lot consolidation and/or demolition of existing older structures to accommodate higher density infill development. Through adoption of the Amended Downtown and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plans, and the City’s Amended Housing Element, the City has provided opportunities for high density mixed use and residential infill.
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
Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs, every effort is made to remove barriers to affordable housing through agreements with for -profit and non-profit affordable housing developers. These efforts also include working with neighborhood re sidents to ensure affordable housing projects are acceptable. Ongoing monitoring of “for sale” affordable units is conducted by department staff by assuring that the affordable housing covenants are recorded on title when the unit is sold. To address the d ecline in sources of housing funds, the City will continue to advocate for and pursue federal, state, local and private funding sources for affordable housing.
Additionally, as part of the City’s February 2020 Amended Housing Element update, the City must assess and to the extent feasible, mitigate, its governmental constraints to housing for lower and moderate-income households and persons with disabilities. The Housing Element addresses the City’s provisions for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing. The following programs in the City's February 2020
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan
66 Amended Housing Element specifically address the variety of regulatory and financial tools used by the City to remove barriers and facilitate the provision of affordable housing:
Program 2. Multi -family Acquisition/Rehabilitation through Non -Profit Developers Objective: While the acquisition/rehabilitation program will continue to be a part of the City’s affordable housing program, the City intends to direct the majority of its housing funds towards new construction of affordable housing (refer to Program #11). The City’s goal will be to assist in the acquisition/rehabilitation of 20 -40 units over the planning period.
Program 7. Residential and Mixed-Use Sites Inventory
Objective: Maintain a current inventory of vacant and underutilized residential and mixed-use sites and provide to interested developers in conjunction with information on available development incentives. To the extent that there are h igh density residential sites identified as accommodating the City's RHNA that ultimately develop with a use other than high density residential development, the City will ensure that it maintains adequate inventory to accommodate the RHNA, including by rezoning as necessary.
Program 8. Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan
Objective: The City will undertake the following actions to implement the adequate sites program concurrently with the adoption of the Housing Element Amendment: 1) Draft text amendments to the BECSP to: a) establish a new Affordable Housing Overlay and revise parking standards and Site Plan review process and b) allow capacity for development of the entire 413-unit lower income RHNA shortfall within the Overlay; 2) Conduct any necessary environmental review on the BECSP amendments including the sites selected for the Affordable Housing Overlay; 3) Conduct public hearings on the BECSP amendment and adopt the amended BECSP with the selected sites within the Affordable Housing Over lay to offset the RHNA shortfall. 4) Begin a comprehensive review of the BECSP and revise the BECSP to provide for growth aligned with economic objectives and infrastructure capacities.5) Monitor sites within the Overlay to ensure that site capacity can ac commodate the remaining lower income RHNA throughout the planning period.
Program 9. Accessory Dwelling Units
Objective: Facilitate the provision of accessory dwelling units for seniors, caregivers, and other lower income households through dissemination of the City’s educational brochure on accessory dwelling units and conduct focused education to the senior
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan
67 citizen community through the Huntington Beach Council on Aging, Rodgers Seniors’ Center, and the Seniors Outreach Center.
Program 10. Inclusionary Program and Housing Trust Fund Objective: Continue to utilize the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance as a tool to integrate affordable housing within market rate developments, or alternatively, to generate fees in support of affordable housing in off -site locations. Establish an in -lieu fee amount for projects with between 10 –30 units. Re -evaluate the Ordinance consis tent with case law and to reflect market conditions and adopt an amendment to the Ordinance in the first half of 2020. Since the City has already addressed its moderate income RHNA allocation, the City will implement a City -wide policy to require at least half of on -site inclusionary units to be provided at levels affordable to lower income households.
Program 11. Affordable Housing Development Assistance
Objective: Continue to provide regulatory and financial assistance for the development of affordable a nd mixed income housing. Provide information on incentives during individual dealings with development applicants.
Program 13. Affordable Housing Density Bonus
Objective: Continue to implement the Affordable Housing Density Bonus as a means of enhancing the economic feasibility of affordable housing development.
Program 14. Development Fee Assistance
Objective: Continue to offer fee reductions for affordable housing. As part of the update to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance the City is currently working on, update the Code to specify the waiver of 100% of application fees for projects with a minimum 10% Extremely Low-Income units.
Program 15. Residential Processing Procedures
Objective: By 2021, adopt streamlined review procedures for multi-family development on a Citywide basis.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City of Huntington Beach has identified long -range strategies, activities and funding sources to implement the goals in the areas of housing and community development services for the benefit of the residents.
• The City will continue to seek other res ources and funding sources to address the biggest obstacle to meeting the community's underserved needs, which is the lack of funding and/or inadequate funding.
• The City will look for innovative and creative ways to make its delivery systems more comprehensive and will continue existing partnerships with both for -profit and not - for-profit organizations.
• The City will use HOME and CDBG funds to concentrate on both affordable rental housing, tenant-based rental housing, and homeowner rehabilitation programs. • The City is currently addressing certain housing needs with federal funds such as availability, condition, and fair housing practices to prevent homelessness. • The City is also addressing community development needs with federal funds such as infrastructure, improving public facilities and code enforcement. • The City is working with surrounding jurisdictions on a regional approach to meeting the underserved needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City’s Consolidated Plan has id entified the preservation of existing, and the creation of new, affordable housing as an implementing goal during the 2020/21 – 2024/25 timeframe.
The City will continue to offer funding to tenant based rental assistance programs in Huntington Beach. In FY 2020/21, nearly $650,000 in HOME funding was allocated to assist 55 households over a two-year period. In FY 2021/22, the City will contribute another $550,000 to tenant based rental assistance, bringing the total investment to this program to $1.2 million.
The City also awarded $2.8 million in HOME funding to the development of a new affordable senior housing project. The City has partnered with a local community housing development organization, or CHDO, Jamboree Housing Corporation to develop 43 units of senior housing at 18431 Beach Boulevard. Of the 43 units, 17 nine (9) will be HOME-restricted. The project is
Huntington Beach 2021/22Annual Action Plan
69 currently underway.
Finally, the City is also proposing to use $ 265,000 in CDBG to fund two residential rehabilitation programs. Both programs will be available to Huntington Beach homeowners.
The first program offers a grant of up to $10,000 to eligible homeowners to make health and safety or code violation repairs. The second program offers a loan of up to $75,000 for larger home improvements. Collectively, the City is proposing to assist 10 households with housing rehabilitation assistance.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As a means of better protecting children and families against lead poisoning, in 1999 HUD instituted revised lead-based paint regulations focused around the following five activities:
• Notification
• Lead Hazard Evaluation
• Lead Hazard Reduction
• Ongoing Maintenance
• Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level
The City has implemented HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires federally funded rehabilitation projects to address lead hazards. Lead-based paint abatement is part of the City's Residential Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Affordable Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for rehabilitation are tested if not statutorily exempt. Elimination or encapsulation remedies are implemented if lead is detected and is paid for by either the developer of the project, or with CDBG or HOME funds, as appropriate.
To reduce lead -based paint hazards in existing housing, all housing rehabilitation projects supported with federal funds are tested for lead and asbestos. When a lead -based paint hazard is present, the City or the City’s sub -grantee contracts with a lead consultant for abatement or implementation of interim controls, based on the findings of the rep ort.
Tenants are notified of the results of the test and the clearance report. In Section 8 programs, staff annually inspects units on the existing program and new units as they become available.
In all cases, defective paint surfaces must be repaired. In situations where a unit is occupied by a household with children under the age of six, corrective actions will include testing and
