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
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
3 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 Measurement 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 available 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 activity 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 area s, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods.
The Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan Needs 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 hearings, and a Community Needs Assessment Survey. The result was the formation of seven areas of priority need, including:
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.
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
4 2. Homelessness - Homelessness continues to be a growing and pressing issue in Huntington Beach and regionally. The City will continue to fund and support effor ts 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, persons 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 continuation of the City’s efforts to administer these programs.
In FY 2022/23, the City of Huntington Beach is proposing to fund several programs to meet the priority needs of Huntington Beach residents as listed in the table above.
Evaluation of past performance
The second year of the FY 2020/21 – 2024/25 Consolidated Plan is s till in process and performance accomplishments will be fully captured in the year -end FY 2021/22 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). However, below is a summary of performance to date.
Decent Housing
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
5 • 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), Jambo ree Housing Corporation. Nine units will be HOME -income and rent restricted. Upon completion of this project that is currently underway, the City will have accomplished nearly 50% of its 20-unit development goal for the 2020/21-2024/25 Consolidated Plan timeframe.
• Also in the area of providing decent housing, the City allocated $642,000 in HOME funds to assist 55 households with tenant based rental assistance in FY 2020/2 1. The TBRA programs were implemented by three operators: Mercy House, Interval House, and Families Forward. In FY 2021/22, two additional TBRA contracts were implemented providing 50 households with rental assistance. The program, run by Families Forward and Mercy House, was integral to the City’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants Program offers two forms of rehabilitation assistance to eligible lower-income Huntington Beach households. First, the Rehabilitation Grant 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 Rehabilitation Loan Program, in comparison, offers low - income homeowners up to $75,000 in deferred payment loans. Both progra ms are intended to assist low -income homeowners to make much needed repairs to keep their property safe and livable. To date, the City has funded 10 home rehabilitation grants with additional households currently on the waiting list.
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 decreased CDBG entitlement funds, the City continues to work toward 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 2022/23 Annual 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 funds to public facility projects.
• The City used CDBG funding in FY 2020/21 and 2021/22 for the ADA Curb Cuts Projects in Maintenance Zone 3 and Maintenance Zone 5, respectively. Together, these two projects have assisted over 4,000 persons. With a five -year goal of assisting 2,000 persons by June 30, 2025, the City has already well surpassed its goal.
• 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 $1.45 million in CDBG entitlement funds and program income to the operations of a new emergency homeless shelter at 17631 Cameron Lane. The shelter provides 174 beds for homeless residents who receive wrap around services including health, employment, and other services to gradually move them towards more stable housing. The shelter is operated by Mercy House.
Economic Opportunity
• During FY 2015/16, City staff worked closely with two grassroots groups established in the Oak View community, one of the most impacted 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 Oak 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
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
7 goals, policies and recommended actions for short -term (0 -2 years), m id-term (3 -5 years), and long-term economic decisions.

Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual 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 input 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.
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 four full -time officers, one program coordinator and up to four case managers) and a Navigation Center providing shelter for 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 Main Police Station, as well as working cooperatively with local schools to assist children who are homeless or housing insecure.
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 (CoC), led and coordinated by the Orange County Health Care Agency . 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 regi onal 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.
The Orange County Continuum of Care system is designed to:

3. Promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families.
4. Promote the implementation of best practices and evidence -based approaches to homeless programming and services.
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

22 EXPECTED RESOURCES
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c) (1,2)
For Fiscal Year 2022/23, the City of Huntington Beach will receive $1,179,193 in CDBG entitlement funds, will have $57,478 $173,198 in prior year CDBG funds carried forward , and estimates receiving $100,000 in program income, for a total of $1,336,671 $1,452,391. 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, housing services in support of eligible HOME activities, a single-family rehabilitation program, code enforcement, CDBG administration, and fair housing services.
The City will also receive a HOME entitlement allocation of $676,539. The City also anticipates $166,453 $661,607 in unallocated HOME carryover, and about $50,000 in program income for a total of $892,992 $1,388,146. The City will use HOME funds for administration of the HOME program, three tenant-based rental assistance programs, and will reserve at least 15% for a future 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 revenues are collected by the state and distributed to local jurisdictions to fund affordable housing projects. With the adoption by the Huntington 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 i s 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 will also receive a special allocation of HOME -ARP funds 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 r ental housing for homeless or those at risk of homelessness, supportive social services, and homeowner foreclosure
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
23 prevention. The City is considering using will use HOME-ARP funding to provide supportive services at two homeless developments: the Cameron Lane Navigation Center and the HB Oasis Homekey transitional housing project. Final project allocations will be included in the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan. The City’s HOME -ARP Allocation Plan which included an appropriation of $2,240,675 of HOME -ARP funding was approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on August 11, 2022.
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.

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual 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 receive other funding sources.
Likewise, the City also 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, an 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 Hunti ngton 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 der ived from prior contributions by the former Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency in developing 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, 2020.
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 through September 30, 2021. The City received this waiver on April 24, 2020.

32 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 2022/23, the City is proposing to will provide tenant based rental assistance (TBRA) to 50 30 homeless, senior, Veteran, and/or family households through contracts with Families Forward and Mercy House.
A third TBRA program will also be available to senior households needing help with mobile home space rents. By Substantial Amendment, this program will be added to the Annual Action Plan with a proposed goal to assist 30 households in FY 2022/23.
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. The project will be developed with the City’s local CHDO, Jamboree Housing Corporation, and will include a total of 43 one bedroom/one bath u nits, and one two-bedroom/one bath (manager’s unit). With an investment of $2.8 million in HOME, the City estimates that nine units will be HOME-restricted.
At project completion, the City will meet 45% of its five -year goal to provide 20 new units to the City’s affordable housing inventory.

33 PROJECTS
AP-35 Projects – 91.220(d)
The City plans to undertake the following CDBG and HOME funded activities during FY 2022/23 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 of its maximum allocations for CDBG public services, CDBG administration, or HOME administration. With a CDBG allocation of $1,179,193, the City of Huntington Beach allocated $176,879 for public services, representing 15% of the CDBG entitlement. This Annual Action Plan proposes to allocate the following to 2022/23 public services: Cameron Lane Navigation Center Operations Program ($41,708); Senior Services Care Management ($35,519); Children’s Bureau ($85,000); and StandUp for Kids Street Outreach ($14,652). CDBG regulations also permit a maximum allocation of 20% of the annual entitlement, or $235,838, for CDBG administration activities. The City has allocated $205,838 for CDBG Administration and $30,000 to the Fair Housing Foundation, for a total of $235,838, the maximum allowed.
Lastly, a maximum of 10% of the annual HOME entitlement , $67,654, was allocated to HOME Program Administration in FY 2022/23.
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 av ailable, 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.
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
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
35 displacement, homelessness o r other serious housing situations due to limited financial resources and other limitations they may face.
The Consolidated Plan identifies several obstacles in meeting underserved needs, including the high and sustained demand for public services, as wel l as the shortage of funding to address the community's needs.

51 AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
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. Much 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 Hun tington Beach are the cities of Seal Beach to the northwest, 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 projec ts 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 definition 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 survey, the City determined 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, some 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.

All public service programs and housing activities funded with CDBG or HOME will be available citywide to eligible persons. The City will also allocate CDBG funds for special code enforcement and preservation activities in the Special Code Enforcement Target Area that has been identified as deteriorated based on the observance of violations of the Uniform Housing Code. This area is bound by Bolsa Chica Street to the west, Bolsa Avenue to the north, Brookhurst Street to the east, and Atlanta Avenue to the south . Public facility and public infrastructure projects , while ar e not proposed for FY 2022/23, are typically targeted to neighborhoods where 51% or more of residents are low- and moderate-income, unless they serve a specific limited clientele in which case they may be located anywhere in the city.

The City, in partnership with its local CHDO, Jamboree Housing Corporation, is underway to develop a 43 -unit senior housing development at 18431 Beach Boulevard, Huntington Beach. Each of the 43 units will have one bedroom and one bath. With an investment of $2.8 million, nine units will be HOME restricted (the City utilized the Suspension and Waiver of Maximum Per Unit Subsidy Limit).
Also, the City estimates that it will have a balance of roughly $226,000 $280,000 in unallocated HOME funds that it can dedicate to a new CHDO affordable housing project in the future.

56 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. For example, in FY 2021/22, the City identified the goal of increasing outreach and engag ement with the homeless community. The Police Department, assigned to that effort, increased their proactive contacts with the homeless population, even when no crime was committed and no call for services was generated. This endeavor is meant to foster a positive dialogue with the homeless population and allow for conversations that would hopefully lead to the acceptance of resources, benefitting the homeless individual and aid in the goal of reducing the homeless population in Huntington Beach. The City w ill continue these efforts into FY 2022/23.
In addition, the Huntington Beach Police Department will continue the Homeless Outreach Program made up of three homeless outreach case managers and four police officers that serve as the City's point persons for homeless issues. Since its inception in 2016, the Homeless Outreach Program has had more than 1,600 occasions to assist individuals with housing referrals, mental and physical health referrals, bus passes, DMV forms, gas cards, food, mailing addresses, and family reunifications.
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 HUD funding for homeless programs and takes place once every two years . The most recent complete PIT in Orange County was held on a single night in January 2019 with the assistance of many homeless service providers. The January 2021 PIT Count for unsheltered homeless 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
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
57 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.
Orange County and the Orange County Continuum o f Care (CoC) resume d the PIT Count in 2022. The sheltered count was conducted the night of Monday, February 21, 2022, and the unsheltered count started the morning of Tuesday, February 22 through Thursday, February 24, 2022. The results of the PIT Count will be made available later in 2022.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
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, the construction of the Cameron Lane Navigation Center, and the addition of a Deputy Director of Homelessness & Behavioral Health Services in FY 2 021/22. 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 individu als 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). The Deputy Director will play an instrumental role in the City to help coordinate ongoing homeless response efforts within Huntington Beach.
In FY 2022/23, the City will continue funding the StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Program.
StandUp is an agency where volunteer staff scout streets of Huntington Beach for youth who are 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 them with the tools they need to transition from life on the street to a life of stability and opportunity. The Street
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
58 Outreach program provides basic services (food, clothing, hygiene items, and survival kits) as well as medical assistance and compassionate mentoring.
Lastly, the City established a pilot mobile crisis response program in April 2021 through an agreement with Be Well OC tha t’s composed of two Crisis Counselors who provide in - community assessments and stabilization services at a caller’s location. On February 15, 2022, the City Council unanimously extended the program’s initial one -year agreement term through June 30, 2023.
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 to establish the Navigation Center. 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 $3,489,979 in federal CDBG and CARES Act funds to help offset costs associated with operating the facility. The need for such a facility increased due to the COVID -19 pandemic and was impacted by social distancing rules which reduced the number of available beds from 174 to 128. The number of beds is expected to return to the available 174 as pandemic rules are modified in the coming months. 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 goal of transitioning them to more permanent housing. On February 8, 2022, the City released the Navigation Center’s first annual report that summarized the positive impact the facility is having on the homeless population in Huntington Beach.
Also, in FY 2021/22, the City partnered with the County of Orange, National CORE, and American Family Housing to negotiate the acquisition and rehabilitation of the former Quality Inn & Suites motel located at 17251 Beach Boulevard, Huntington Beach. The project, HB Oasis, will provide interim housing for up to 62 adult individuals and households experiencing homelessness in Orange County’s Central Service Planning Area. In addition to transitional housing, the HB Oasis will provide property management, residential and supportive services that meet the complex needs of people experiencing homelessness. HB Oasis will provide a trauma informed, and evidence -based interim operations by identifying tools and re - integrating participants back into the community through case management and linkages to permanent housing. The City’s contribution of $1,804,704 in HOME -ARP will provide supportive services in Year 5 of the project.
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
59 Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experienc e 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 order 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.
Towards this effort, the Navigation Center maintains www.hbhomelesssolutions.com, a website that provides general information about the Center and informs the public of the Center’s work through weekly Homeless Services Updates. Funding for the Center will continue through FY 2022/23 as the City intends on repurposing the property into a permanent supportive housing (PSH) development that provides affordable housing to the chronically homeless. The housing will be paired with services to help individuals achieve social and economic stability. Updates will continue to be provided on the Center’s website.
In FY 2022/23, the City will continue its dedication to assisting families in Huntington Beach with much needed rental assistance to prevent homelessness. Since 2014, Huntington Beach has offered a Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program that has helped hundreds of extremely low- and very-low income homeless, senior, Veteran, and family households. In FY 2022/23, tenant based rental assistance will continue to be offered through Families Forward and Mercy House.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being di scharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private ag encies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.
To help prevent homelessness and protect at -risk populations, Huntington Beach identified the following objectives as provided in the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element:
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
60 Program 5C. Homeless Assistance
Objective: Continue participation in the County’s Regional Committee for the Continuum of Care and annually allocate CDBG monies to fund agencies serving the homeless and at- risk population. Continue to enhance servi ce in this area and apply for available funding opportunities for homelessness assistance and response efforts. Pursue funding opportunities through Project Homekey and other funding sources as they become available to convert identified existing hotels an d motels to permanent or interim housing for the target population.
Program 5D. Low Barrier Navigation Center
Objective: The City will adopt an ordinance to be compliant with State law regarding the definition, processing, and approval process for Low Barrier Navigation Centers.
These efforts will be primarily led by the Deputy Director of Homelessness & Behavioral Health Services in collaboration with the Navigation Center to leverage resources to support the homeless community. In addition, the City co ntinues 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 no t required to develop a discharge coordination policy. However, the City will continue to address a discharge coordination policy with the Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force.
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan 61
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 late 2021, the City held several public meetings to update its Affordable Housing ordinance to better meet the needs and nuances of the community. The latest updates were necessary to provide compliance options with law, implement Housing Element programs, clarify that rental projects must provide affordable units at the lower income level, and revise the in-lieu fees and methodology to reflect current market conditions.
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, has and will continue to 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 nonprofit affordable housing developers. These efforts also include working with neighborhood residents 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 decline in sources of
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan

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 Ac quisition/Rehabilitation of Affordable Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for
Huntington Beach 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
67 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 report.
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 un der the age of six, corrective actions will include testing and abatement if necessary, or abatement without testing.
