City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 Executive Summary

ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
Introduction
In 1994, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued new rules consolidating the planning, application, reporting and citizen participation processes to the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME). The new single-planning process was intended to more comprehensively fulfill three basic goals: to provide decent housing, to provide a suitable living environment and to expand economic opportunities. It was termed the Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development.

According to HUD, the Consolidated Plan is designed to be a collaborative process whereby a community establishes a unified vision for housing and community development actions. It offers entitlement communities the opportunity t o shape these housing and community development programs into effective, coordinated neighborhood and community development strategies. It also allows for strategic planning and citizen participation to occur in a comprehensive context, thereby reducing duplication of effort.

As the lead agency for the Consolidated Plan, the City of Huntington Beach hereby follows HUD’s guidelines for citizen and community involvement. Furthermore, it is responsible for overseeing citizen participation requirements that accompany the Consolidated Plan.

Huntington Beach has prepared this Consolidated Plan to meet the guidelines as set forth by HUD and is broken into five sections: The Process, Needs Assessment, Market Analysis, Strategic Plan, and Annual Action Plan.

Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The goals of the CDBG and HOME programs are to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment for the Area’s low- and moderate-income residents, and economic opportunities for low- moderate income residents. The City strives to accomplish these goals by maximizing and effectively utilizing all available funding resources to conduct housing and community development activities.

These goals are further explained as follows:
• Providing decent housing means helping homeless persons obtain appropriate housing and assisting those at risk of homelessness; preserving the affordable housing stock; increasing availability of permanent housing that is affordable to low and moderate-income persons without discrimination; and increasing the supply of supportive housing.

The Process Consolidated Plan

• Providing a suitable living environment entails improving the safety and livability of neighborhoods; increasing access to quality facilities an d services; and reducing the isolation of income groups within an area through integration of low-income housing opportunities. • Expanding economic opportunities involves creating jobs that are accessible to low - and moderate-income persons; making down p ayment and closing cost assistance available for low - and moderate- income persons; promoting long term economic and social viability; and empowering low- income persons to achieve self-sufficiency.

Evaluation of past performance
Huntington Beach’s evaluati on of its past performance has been completed in a thorough Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). These documents state the objectives and outcomes identified in each year’s Annual Action Plan and include an evaluation of past performance through measurable goals and objectives compared to actual performance. These documents can be found on the City’s website at:

https://www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/business/economic-development/cdbg/ Between 2015 and 2019, the City of Huntington Beach has rehabilitated 40 homeowner housing units and 13 rental housing units. The City has provided tenant -based rental assistance (TBRA) to 1 40 households, vastly exceeding its goal of 50 households. The City has made ADA and public facility renovations to benefit over 30,000 persons and needed public services to over 3,000 persons. The City’s infrastructure improvements have benefited almost 30,000 persons. City support for homeless agencies have benefited over 1,000 persons. Housing code enforcement has benefited over 3, 000 housing units. These efforts have exceeded most of the goals the City established in their last 5-year Consolidated Plan.

Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process A variety of public outreach and citizen participation was used to develop this Consolidated Plan. The 2019 Housing and Community Development survey was used to help establish priorities for throughout the City by gathering feedback on the level of need for housing and community development categories. A public meeting was held prior to the release of the draft plan to garner feedback on preliminary findings. The Plan was released for public review and a public hearing will be held to offer residents and stakeholders the opportunity to comment on the plan.

Summary of public comments
Comments made during the public review meetings are included in the form of transcripts in the Appendix. A summary of comments is included below:

Introduction
The City developed its Five-Year Consolidated Plan through consultation with the Orange County Housing Authority; City departments; health and social service providers; and adjacent local governments. The City encouraged comment on its daft plan and participation in the Housing and Community Development Survey.

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)).

With the use of CDBG funds, the City employs one part-time Homeless Coordinator and three part-time Homeless Case Managers 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 coordinating efforts and sharing information to most effectively address the issue of homelessness in Huntington Beach.

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 regional 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 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 supportive 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.

responsibility of OC Partnership, 2 -1-1 Orange
County and t he OC Community Services. These
organizations use housing and demographic data
obtained through HMIS and Homeless Counts to
determine needs and to pinpoint gaps in housing
and services. This in turn helps to pool and
coordinate resources with the City and cities to
develop coordinated homeless access and
assessment centers. Huntington Beach
participates in building the regional continuum of
care to address the homeless and persons at risk
of homelessness.

NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The following section will describe the socio-economic and housing situation in the City of Huntington Beach.

The population in Huntington Beach has grown from 189,992 in 2010 to 200,641 in 2018. With this growth there has not been a significant change in the racial or ethnic makeup of the City, according to the American Community Survey (ACS) . Households with incomes over $100,000 have grown as a proportion of the population, while conversely, poverty has also grown. The proportion of persons in poverty has grown from 6.6 percent in 2000 to 8.9 percent in 2017.

A significant proportion of households have housing problems, particularly cost burde ns, with 38.1 percent of households experiencing cost burdens. Cost burdens are defined as a household paying more than 30 percent of their income on housing. Renter households are particularly impacted by cost burdens, at a rate of 49.3 percent. In add ition, Pacific Islander and Hispanic households face housing problems at a disproportionate rate.

The homeless population continues to need a variety of services, as the homeless population has grown since 2014, from 3,833 in the Orange County Continuum of Care to 6,860 in 2019, according to Point-in-Time counts. In addition, there are a variety of non-homeless special needs populations in the Area. This includes the elderly population, which has grown by 31.9 percent since 2010.

The following Needs Assessment and Market Analysis include two different table types. The first is the default data sets that come from the eCon Planning Suite. These tables are brown. The second is a set of tables that has the most up-to-date data available for Huntington Beach. These tables are blue and come from a variety of data sources, including the U.S. Census, The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Most of the narrative in the following sections will reference the blue tables by table number.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.

There were an estimated 19,419 one-person households in the City of Huntington Beach in 2017. These one-person households that earn below 30 percent HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI) are the most likely to need housing assistance in the area. One-person households below 30 percent HAMFI would also benefit from the availability of more Single Room Oc cupancy (SRO) affordable housing options. The 2012 – 2016 CHAS data indicates there are 370 Other Non -family households at 0-30% of HAMFI experiencing either a cost burden or severe cost burden.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housin g assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.

The number of disabilities by type, as estimated by the 2017 ACS, is shown in Table NA-10.13. Some 4.8 percent have an ambulatory disability, 4.2 percent have an independent living disability, and 2.1 percent have a self-care disability. Persons with disabilities could benefit from ADA improvements to their homes as well as from the City’s Meals on Wheels Program. The City has historically invested much of their CDBG entitlement on other ADA improvements throughout the City. For example, the City has impr oved hundreds of ADA curb cuts throughout Huntington Beach, and has made ADA improvements to restrooms in public facilities. In FY 2020/21, the City is proposing to use CDBG to make ADA improvements to the Central Library lower level restrooms , consistent with their goal to assist persons with disabilities.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 40 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low -income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re -housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance Households most likely to be at risk of becoming unsheltered are those with extremely low incomes that are severely cost-burdened. There are 5,830 households in Huntington Beach that are below 30 percent HAMFI with severe cost burdens. These 1,940 homeowner households and 3,890 renter households are the most at-risk of becoming homeless.

If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at -risk population (s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at -risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates:

Not applicable.

Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, there are various factors that contribute to an increased risk of homelessness. These housing characteristics include households that are doubled up, or living with frie nds or family, persons recently released from prison, and young adults out of foster care. Economic factors include households with severe cost burden and households facing unemployment. As described here and in the following sections, there are a large nu mber of households facing cost burdens and other housing problems that create instability and increase their risk of homelessness.

Discussion
The population in Huntington Beach grew by 5.6 percent between 2010 and 2017. This growth, however, has not resulted in significant changes in the racial and ethnic makeup of the area. Income disparity is growing, with households earning more than $100,000 a year growing to account for 43.4 percent of the population in 2017. Meanwhile, persons in poverty grew from 6.6 percent of the population in 2000 to 8.9 percent of the population in 2017.

A significant proportion of households have housing problems, particularly cost burdens, with 30.1 percent of households experiencing cost burdens. Renter households are part icularly impacted by cost burdens, at a rate of 48.0 percent.

Discussion
As shown in the tables above, the only racial or ethnic group that faces a disproportionate share of severe housing problems, is Hispanic households at 30 percent HAMFI or below. These households face severe housing problems at a rate of 86.1 percent versus 72.1 percent for the City as a whole.

Introduction
Households experiencing cost burdens spend above 30 percent of their income on housing cost. Cost Burdened households may experience finical strain due to the high proportion on income spent on housing cost. Of the four HUD defined housing problems, cost burden is the most prevalent and the most detrimental to the long term stability of a households. Households spending above 50 percent of their income on housing cost are severely cost burdened and may be a few missed paychecks away from experiencing homelessness. It is an important metric to define the immediate need for affordable housing goals.

Discussion
The City of Huntington Beach had 15,035, or 20.2 percent of households experiencing a cost burden.

There were an additional 13,425 households who experienced a severe cost burden, which represented

18.0 percent of all households in the city. When evaluated by race/ethnicity Hispanic households had a cost burden rate of 23.4 percent and a 24.0 percent rate of severe cost burden.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 48 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion – 91.205(b)(2) Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole? The overall rate of housing problems is 3 9.1 percent in the City of Huntington Beach . A disproportionate share of housing problems exists if any one racial or ethnic group experiences housing problems at a rate at least ten (10) percentage points higher than the average. In this case, at a rate of at least 49.1 percent. Pacific Islander and Hispanic households face housing problems at a disproportionate rate. Pacific Islander households face housing problems at a rate of 69.3 percent, however only accounted for 0.4 percent of the population in 2017. Hispanic households face housing problems at a rate of 50.7 percent.

If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs?

This data may indicate a need for rental assistance to help reduce cost burdens.

Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community?

There are several areas in the City where Hispanic households are concentrated. Hispanic households had several areas with a disproportionate share of Hispanic households. These areas tended to be in eastern parts of Huntington Beach and saw Hispanic pop ulation that exceeded 30.2 percent, compared to the 19.3 percent for the citywide average.

Introduction
The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, formerly called the Section 8 program, is HUD’s largest program that helps low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled find affordable decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Participants receive federally subsidized vouchers that they can use to rent the home or apartment of their choosing, provided that it meets the requirements of the program and agreement of the landlord. The funding assistance is provided to the family or individual, the voucher holder, and can move with the family or individual rather than being tied to the property or unit.

There are no public housing units in Huntington Beach.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units:

Not Applicable, as there is no public housing in Huntington Beach and OCHA does not have a public housing program.

Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders The most immediate needs of public housing and housing choice voucher holders is accessing affordable housing and, in some cases, preventing homelessness. These needs are complicated by the availability of accessing units that will accept vouchers, and the amount of need in the area.

How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large These needs are seen in a much higher rate and are more urgent than the population at large. The low- income levels of households utilizing publicly supported housing dramatically increases the likelihood of housing problems and risk of homeless ness. While supportive housing services are important to most affordable housing and special needs clients, those at the lowest income in assisted housing require the most intensive aid.

Discussion
The rising cost of housing in the City results in a higher number of persons eligible for Housing Choice Vouchers. The availability of resources, however, is finite, leaving many eligible households unable to access much needed housing assistance. This has resulted in lengthy waiting lists and long wait times to access affordable housing options.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 54 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)
Introduction:

The Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC) operates in Orange County. This CoC is a collaborative of service providers. The Point -In-Time (PIT) count for the Orange County CoC has increased from 3,833 in 2014 to 6,840 in 2019. However, there are limitations to the PIT, especially when capturing unsheltered populations. These limitations include not capturing the whole unsheltered population, however, methodologies in recent years have tried to rectify these limitations when at all possible.

Service providers have indicated that they are noticing a growth in the homeless population citywide.

During the 2019 count, there were 349 total persons counted in Huntington Beach, with 289 unsheltered, and 60 sheltered.

Orange County’s 2019 Point-in-Time Summary also provides a deeper look into who exactly is homeless in Orange County. The results include findings that:
• 37% of homeless people (sheltered and unsheltered) live in a household that includes a minor child, although the vast majority of homeless children are sheltered. • 36% of homeless individuals are chronically homeless. • 26% of homeless individuals have substance abuse issues. • 24% of homeless individuals are living with mental illness. • 21% of homeless individuals have a physical disability. • 5% of homeless individuals are veterans.
• 2% of homeless individuals have HIV/AIDS.
• 9% of homeless individuals are seniors.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 57 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.

In 2019, some 2,899 persons counted were sheltered, accounting for 42.3 percent. In the unsheltered population, some 52.0 percent were chronically homeless, 32.9 percent had substance abuse issues,

30.8 percent had a physical disability, and 26.5 percent had mental health issues. In the sheltered population, some 25.8 percent were chronically homeless, 26.7 percent had substance a buse issues,

15.1 percent had a physical disability, and 30.9 percent had mental health issues.

Discussion:

The homeless population in Orange County is increasing. As the population increases, the need for housing and service options also increases , including emergency shelters, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing. In addition, the number of households in the area who are at risk of homelessness continue to be a high priority to keep the number of homeless households from increasing in the City. There is also a high level of need for services for homeless households including the case management, job training, transportation, substance abuse treatment, and other supportive services.

PEOPLE WITH ALCOHOL AND DRUG ADDICTIONS
Addressing the Opioid Crisis in Orange County, CA Report was put out by the Orange County Alcohol and Drug Advisory Board & OC Health Care Agency .2 Nearly 1.5 million opioid prescriptions were dispensed to Orange County residents in 2018, down from an average of 1.7 million in the three previous years. The opioid overdose death rate for Orange County is higher than the statewide rate.

Seven out of every ten drug related deaths in the City involve opioids.

The Orange County Health Care Agency’s 2018 -2023 Alcohol & Other Drug Prevention Strategic Plan provides additional informat ion about drug and alcohol use in Orange County .3 According to the findings from the 2016 Orange County CHKS, past 30 day 11th grade youth AOD use rates have decreased since 2008 and are consistently lower than California rates. Data findings from the DO J in 2016 revealed that AOD offenses (drug, drunk, and DUI) account for 17.7% of all juvenile (those under 18 years of age) arrests. In comparison, AOD (drug, drunk, and DUI) accounted for 48.2% of all adult arrests in Orange County in 2016

VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Pinpointing specific numbers of domestic violence victims is difficult due to the lack of reporting and other mitigating factors. However, the California Health Interview Survey found that 23 percent of adult females in Orange County have been victims of domestic violence.4

What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
The 2019 Housing and Community Development Survey found that veterans, homeless persons, and persons with severe mental illness had the highest rated needs, followed by and persons with substance abuse addictions and seniors. The service needs for these populations are varied, ranging from rapid rehousing to rental assistan ce to stay housed or substance abuse assistance programs.

These results are shown in Table NA-45.3.

Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:

According to the Orange County HIV SURVEILLANCE STATISTICS 2018, 6,369 people are living with HIV (PLWH) in Orange County as of December 31, 2018; this does not include individuals estimated to be living with HIV who have not been diagnosed.5 In 2018, there were 280 HIV (209 HIV non-AIDS and 71 AIDS) cases diagnosed in Orange County residents, for a rate of 8.7 cases per 100,000 Orange County population. 5,520 PLWH are male (86.7%), 751 female (11.8%), and 98 (1.5%) are transgender male to female. 3,075 PLWH are Hispanic (48.3%), 2,318 PLWH are white (36.4%), 498 (7.8%) are Asian, 353 are black (5.5%), 95 are more than one race (1.5%), 21 are Pacific Islander (0.3%), and fewer than 10 are American Indian/Alaskan Native. In 2018, 153 (54.6%) of cases diagnosed were Hispanic, 84 (30.0%) were white, and 30 (10.7%) were Asian.

Housing Market Analysis

MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:

Between 2010 and 2017, the number of housing units in Huntington Beach increased by 2.4 percent.

The housing market has seen an increase in housing production in recent years, particularly in multifamily units. Meanwhile, housing costs have continued to rise. The proportion of vacant units has remained relatively steady since 2010 but has seen an increase in the proportion of these units for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use.

Table MA-10.4 shows households by year home built for the 2010 and 2017 5 -year ACS data. Housing units built between 2000 and 2009, account for 4.6 percent of households in 2010 and 4.6 percent of households in 2017. Housing units built in 1939 or earlier represented 1.7 percent of households in 2017 and 1.2 percent of households in 2010. The age of the housing stock, with 74.1 percent built prior to 1980, may suggest a higher level of need for renovation and rehabilitation.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs.

Programs will target households that have housing problems in the City of Huntington Beach. This includes over 29,494 households in the Area, some 13,489 of which are owner households, and 16,005 of which are renter households.

Huntington Beach’s Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program (TBRA) provides a homeless person or family with temporary assistance in paying rent and related assistance, with the goal of self-sufficiency within six months. The City funds the program with HUD/HOME and other housing funds that are carefully budgeted. Renewal grants are not guaranteed, nor are they unlimited, so great care must be taken with program administration.

TBRA currently targets homeless (extremely low) populations, as well as veterans, victims of domestic violence, and low-income families. By Substantial Amendment to the Consolidated Plan in November 2022, HB will also offer a rental assistance program to senior mobile homeowners and tenants to help subsidize space rents in the City , which have put a financial strain on households living on fixed incomes.

The Affordable Housing Program funded with HOME aims to assist low- and moderate -income households. In CDBG, HB funds two housing rehabilitation programs. One is a grant program and one is a loan program for eligible LMI households.

Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.

Map MA-10.1 shows the number of Section 8 contracts that are set to expire. In the range of this Consolidated Plan, there is one contract set to expire in 2020 and one set to expire in 2034.

Additionally, the City has a portfolio of 1,455 affordable rental units that it has developed, of which 56 are at risk of converting to market rate during this Consolidated Plan timeframe.

Below is the most recent affordable housing inventory supplied from the City of Huntington Beach. As can be seen there are 4,261 total units in projects, with 1,455 affordable units and 541 units restricted to very low-income levels.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? As seen in the Needs Assessment section, as well as information gathered from public input, current housing does not meet the needs of the population. This is seen most markedly in the rate of cost burdens in the City. In 2017, an estimated 38.1 percent of the population was cost burdened. Renter households are more likely to be impacted by cost burdens, at 49.3 percent, and therefore cannot afford housing units that meet their needs.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 74 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 Describe the need for specific types of housing:

Table MA -10.7 shows the results of the Housing and Community Development Survey as it rated various housing needs. The top-rated needs for housing include supportive housing for people who are homeless or disabled, first time homebuyer assistance, and rental housing f or very low -income households. This was followed by rental assistance and construction of new affordable rental housing.

The data for housing cost burdens by family types suggests that there is a need for housing units in a range of sizes for both large and small families.

Discussion
The current housing stock may not be meeting the needs of the population in Huntington Beach, especially those in lower income levels. While the rate and type of market housing production, as described in the following secti on, may be providing additional housing options, they may not be meeting the needs of a large proportion of households in the City.

HOUSING PRODUCTION
The Census Bureau reports building permit authorizations and “per unit” valuation of building permits by City annually. Single-family construction usually represents most residential development in the City. Single-family building permit authorizations in Huntington Beach remained unchanged from 53 authorizations in 2017 and 53 authorizations in 2018.

The real value of single -family building permits decreased from 481,359 dollars in 2017 to 402,998 dollars in 2018.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? As demonstrated by the housing needs and cost burden sections in the Needs Assessment, there is a significant amount of the population that faces housing challenges. Low income households are particularly prone to facing cost burdens. This points to the fact that there is not sufficient housing options for all households, especially those at lower income levels. Additionally, public input comments indicated there is a significant need for affordable ho using options for lower income households.

How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
The City of Huntington Beach saw a significant increase in housing prices in recent years. If trends continue, the area will see increasing rent and home values. This would lead to additional households facing cost burdens. This indicates a need for additional affordable housing options in the City to help alleviate the number of households experiencing cost burdens.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 85 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? The Fair Market Rent (FMR) and HOME rents may not be sufficient to meet the housing needs of households in the City of Huntington Beach. This may be especially true for larger families that require larger units. In an effort to keep housing affordable to v arious underserved populations such as homeless, low-income, veterans, and seniors, the City has provided much needed help in the form of tenant based rental assistance, coupled with case management to help households become more financially stable.

Discussion
The cost of housing in Huntington Beach continues to be out of reach for many low to moderate income households. This is reflected in the proportion of lower income households facing cost burdens and other housing problems. It is anticipated that housing cost burdens will continue to be a major factor for many households in the area and demonstrates the need for additional affordable housing options in the area.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 86 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
The following section will describe the condition of housing in the City of Huntington Beach.

Definitions
The term Standard housing condition is defined as a dwelling unit being in conformance with California State Health and Safety codes. Und er that definition, substandard conditions pursuant to the State Health and Safety Code 17920.3, would involve a dwelling with any of the following conditions that would pose a danger to health or safety: (a) inadequate sanitation, (b) structural hazards, (c) nuisances, (d) wiring, (e) plumbing, (f) mechanical equipment, (g) faulty weather protection, (h) risk of fire or explosion, and other unsafe conditions. A substandard unit is generally considered suitable for rehabilitation if the cost of rehabilitation does not exceed 75% of the unit’s replacement value.

Table MA-20.1 shows households by year home built for the 2010 and 2017 5 -year ACS data. Housing units built between 2000 and 2009, account for 4.6 percent of households in 2010 and 4.6 percent of households in 2017. Housing units built in 1939 or earlier represented 1.7 percent of households in 2017

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 87 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 and 1.2 percent of households in 2010. The largest percent of housing units were built between 1960 and 1979. The age of these units may indicate a need for rehabilitation and renovation in the City.

The age of a structure influences its value. As shown in Table MA-20.3, structures built in 1939 or earlier had a median value of $ 796,600 while structures built between 1950 and 1959 had a median value of $643,500 and those built between 1990 to 1999 had a median value of $883,900. The newest structures tended to have the highest values and those built between 2010 and 2013 and from 2014 or later had median values of $856,100 and $979,200 respectively. The total median value in Huntington Beach was $688,700.

Vacant for rent units tended to be highest in the central parts of the City, as seen in Map MA-20.1. This was similar to vacant for sale housing, as seen in Map MA-20.2. “Other” vacant housing is shown for 2017 in Map MA-20.3. “Other” vacant housing units are units that are not for rent or for sale, and are not otherwise available to the marketplace. This can be problematic when units are concentrated in one area as they may create a “blighting” effect. This can also offer an opportunity for the City to concentrate investments for redevelopment.

need for owner rehabilitation.

Rental rehabilitation is seen as a
slightly higher need than owner
rehabilitation. The age of the
housing stock does indicate a
higher level of need for
rehabilitation for units, as almost
three-quarters of units were
built prior to 1980.

Table 38 - Facilities Targeted to Homeless Persons

Describe mainstream services, such as health, mental health, and employment services to the extent those services are to complement services targeted to homeless persons The network of care in Orange County is established to connect homeless persons with mainstream services, such as Medicaid and Social Security benefits, to maximize the amount of assistance households can access. Utilizing coordinated entry, service providers match clients with appropriate services to increase access to health and social service programs that they qualify for. These efforts are paired with services provided throughout the City to create a system of wrap -around services to help households in as many ways as possible.

The goa l of the Coordinated Entry System 6 is to effectively connect individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at -risk of homelessness to appropriate services and housing interventions to end homelessness in Orange County through:
• dynamic prioritization
• collaborative coordination
• intentional resource utilization

6 http://www.occommunityservices.org/hcd/homeless/coordinated_entry_system

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 95 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 • equitable resource distribution
• regional service planning area prioritization
The Coordinated Entry System lead agency, Orange County, is empowered by the Continuum of Care (CoC) to manage the process of determining and updating the prioritization for all CoC funded permanent supportive housing (PSH) and CoC and ESG funded rapid rehousing (RRH) as well as any other housing resources that voluntarily participate in the Coordinated Entry System.

The Coordinated Entry System is for anyone experiencing homelessness in Orange County including young adults, single adults, couples, families, veterans and seniors. If you or someone you know are experiencing homelessness, talk to your service provider or call 2 -1-1 to be connected to a service provider participating in the Coordinated Entry System.

List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with c hildren, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP -40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA -35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services spec ifically address the needs of these populations.

There are numerous homeless service providers in Orange County and as part of the Orange County CoC. These service providers, listed below, offer a range of services that extend beyond housing and shelter services. These include employment training, counseling, financial literacy, legal aid, childcare, and transportation services.

CA Health and Safety Code Section 1262 prohibits a mental health patient to be discharged from facilities including psychiatric, skilled nursing, and hospitals without a written aftercare plan. The Orange County Health Care Agency deter mines when and where clients diagnosed with serious and persistent mental illnesses are discharged from either inpatient stays or outpatient services. The City contracts with a number of inpatient providers who provide a range of levels of care. Contracts state that state law mandates regarding “anti -dumping” policies are followed to ensure that patients are not discharged to the streets or other living arrangements that are considered unsuitable for human habitation.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 97 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 City Health Care Agency determines when and to where clients diagnosed with serious and persistent mental illnesses are discharged from either inpatient stays or outpatient services. The City contracts with a number of inpatient providers and contracts with them to follow the mandates of state laws in regard to “anti-dumping” policies. Patients leaving inpatient settings are assessed for level and type of residential setting. They might be placed in Adult Residential Facilities or Residential Facilities for the Elderly if over age 60 for care and supervision. Some are placed in more enhanced licensed facilities such as contracted Residential Rehabilitation beds, or programs (STEPS) which include placement in either a “basic” ARF or a Res. Rehab. Others might be discharged back to a former residence or family home. Others are linked to clinics where they are placed in supported short-term housing programs or room and boards or other independent living arrangements, for those capable of living on their own and who are funded or working. Patients de termined to be able to live independently, are assisted into S+C or MHSA units as they become available.

A number of agencies work together in various roles to ensure housing for the mentally ill in Orange County. Each plays a different but coordinating role. The Continuum of Care, OC Community Services, Orange County Health Care Agency, Mercy House, Friendsh ip Shelter, all of the inpatient programs serving City of Huntington Beach clients, Community Care Licensing, the California Hispanic Commission on Drugs and Alcohol, and the Illumination Foundation are among the most active.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 98 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment The 2019 Housing and Community Development Survey found that the most highly recognized barriers to the development of affordable housing include the cost of land or lot, lack of available land, the Not In My Back Yard (NIMBY) Mentality. This was followed by density or other zoning requirements and the permitting process.

Additionally, as part of the City’s 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 addre sses the City’s provisions for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing. The following programs in the City's 2013 -2021 Housing Element specifically address the variety of regulatory and financial tools used by t he City to remove barriers and facilitate the provision of affordable housing:

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:

The 2019 Housing and Community Development Survey found that the highest rated needs for businesses and economic development include the retention of existin g businesses , fostering businesses with higher paying jobs, and the attraction of new businesses . This was followed by the expansion of existing businesses and the enhancement of business infrastructure.

While 55 percent of workers have a less than 30 minute commute, some ten percent have a commute time over 60 minutes. This may indicate a higher level of need for the availability of businesses accessible to Huntington Beach residents.

Not applicable.

How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
The Housing Community Development survey indicated that many people in Huntington Beach have a moderate level of need for job training and re-training. Increasing job training may result in access to higher paying jobs in the area, while retaining and attracting businesses. There is a large variety in the education levels in the City. An estimated 7.7 percent of the population has less than a high school degree, 16.8 percent of the population had a high school diploma or equivalent, another 36.0 percent have some college, 25.3 percent have a Bachelor’s Degree, and 14.2 percent of the population had a graduate or professional degree. These education levels lend themselves to a variety of job sector employment, which is demonstrated by the Business Activity table. The City of Huntington Beach has a robust tourist industry. Workers in the tourist industry may not require advanced education levels, but also make less than employment sectors that require higher levels of education. The healthcare industry also makes up a large portion of employment in the city and healthcare workers generally require additional education beyond the high school level, such as professional certifications, or advanced degrees.

• Implement two workshops with the Orange County Workforce Investment Board - one focused on services for employers and the other for services available for jobseekers.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 112 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
As seen in Map MA-50.1, housing problems tend to be concentrated in the eastern portion of the City, closer to I-405. These areas have housing problems at a rate between 49.1 and 68.8 percent, compared to areas with rates below 30.8 percent in other parts of the City. In this map, the definition of “concentration” is any area that sees a disproportionate share of housing problems, counted as any area that experiences housing problems at a rate at least ten (10) percentage higher than the area average.

The concentrations of housing problems by race are shown in Maps MA-50.2 through MA-50.4. These maps show the concentration of housing problems for Asian, Black, and Hispanic households.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") The following maps show the distribution of the population by race and ethnicity. These maps will be used to describe any areas with a disproportionate share of any one racial or ethnic group. A disproportionate share is defined as having at least ten percentage points higher than the jurisdiction average. For example, if American Indian households account for 1.0 percent of the total population, there would be a disproportionate share if one area saw a rate of 11.0 percent or more.

As seen in Map MA-50.5, the Asian population, which accounted for 11.9 percent of Huntington Beach population in 2017, saw a disproportionate share of the population in three Census tracts in northern and eastern parts of the City.

Hispanic households are shown in Map MA -50.6 for 2017. T here were several areas with a disproportionate share of Hispanic households. These areas tended to be in eastern parts of Huntington Beach and saw Hispanic population that exceeded 30.2 percent, compared to the 19.3 percent for the citywide average.

Poverty in 2017 is shown in Map MA-50.7. There were three Census tracts that had a disproportionate share of poverty, with two tracts with poverty rates over 21.3 percent, compared to the city average of 8.9 percent.

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? The housing markets in these area tended to have a higher proportion of renter households, as shown in Map MA -15.2. In addition, median home values and median contract rents tended to be lower in these areas than in other areas in the City. This is shown in Maps MA-15.3 and MA-15.4.

Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 113 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 These areas are adjacent to a variety of amenities in these areas, including access to city schools and parks, community centers, libraries, as well as grocery stores, and service providers.

Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?

Areas with high concentrations of low income and poverty level households may present an opportunity for investment through services and public facility funding. The City could also promote economic development in these areas or fund housing development or rehabilitation.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 124 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate-Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)
Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.

The City has retained CTC, Energy and Technology to develop a broadband strategic plan. The consultant is currently conducting a market analysis in order to develop a high-level strategic plan that explores options for maximizing the economic development benefits of the City's existing broadband infrastructure, integrating potential future broadband projects with the City's broader economic development planning, and meeting the broadband connectivity needs of business in the City.11 Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.

While there are a number of broadband service providers in the City of Huntington Beach, there is a continued need for competition to promote affordab ility and access, as well as choice, in the community. According to the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, competition is a crucial component of broadband policy in that it pressures providers to be efficient and innovative.12

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 125 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction's increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.

There are several increased risks in Huntington Beach due to climate change. These are discussed in the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and outlined below:13 Coastal erosion: Coastal erosion is caused primarily by tides and by wave action from storms. While tides are not affected by climate change, some studies suggest that climate change is expected to cause a 10 to 20 percent increase in intensity of the severe storms that affect Southern California, as discussed in greater detail in the Flood section (Oskin 2014b). This means that the significant wave events that already cause substantial erosion in Huntington Beach may become more intense, causing greater loss of beaches and coastal bluffs during these events. Sea level rise, which is caused by climate change, may exacerbate the issue. As the surface of the ocean becomes higher, wave and tidal action will be able to reach farther onto land than they currently can. As a result, wave and tide events that currently do not reach far enough to cause any erosion may be able to do so in the future, and wave and tide events that already cause erosion will be able to affect areas farther from the water line.

Sea level rise: Sea level rise is a direct consequence of climate change, and would likely not exist to any substantial degree if climate change was not occurring. Climate change does not create any particular considerations for sea level rise, as the hazard itself is a climate change consideration.

Tsunamis: The displacement events that cause tsunamis are geologic in nature and unaffected by climate change to any known degree. However, as sea level rise increases the av erage height of the ocean, this will allow tsunami waves to reach farther inland. Even though climate change is not expected to affect the severity of tsunamis, sea level rise is likely to create the potential for tsunamis to cause greater damage.

Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low - and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.

Low income households are likely to be impacted by climate change in Huntington Beach due to a lack of resources. The Huntington Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (2017) noted that this can include droughts, which can include economic hardships for low -income households due to increased water rates. Lower income households may also be disproportionately impacted by earthquake events and sea level rise.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 126 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 Strategic Plan

SP-05 Overview
The Needs Assessment and Market Analysis, which has been guided by the Housing and Community development Survey and public input, identified seven priority needs. These are described below. • 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. Preserve Existing and Create New Affordable Housing as well as Sustain and Strengthen Neighborhoods are two goals to be implemented under this category of priority need.
• Homelessness: Homelessness continues to be growing and pressing issue in Huntington Beach and regionally. The City will continue to fund an d support efforts that address homelessness and serve persons experiencing homelessness.
• Special Needs Populations: There are a number of special needs populations in the City that need continued services and support. These include, but aren’t limited to persons with severe mental illness, veterans, persons with substance abuse addictions, seniors , and illiterate persons.
• Priority Community Services: There are a number of vital community services in the City that need continued services and support. Thes e community services serve low to moderate income households and include activities such as youth and family services. • Priority Community and Public Facilities : The City recognizes the high need for public improvement activities throughout the City in or der 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. • 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.
• 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.

These Priority Needs are addressed with the following Goals:

Sustain and Strengthen Neighborhoods

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 127 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 Using CDBG funds, the City will sustain and strengthen neighborhoods by eliminating unsafe conditions and blight while improving the quality of life for residents within the community.

Preserve Existing and Create New Affordable Housing
To the extent possible, based upon the av ailability of funds and a project’s viability, HOME funds will be used to assist affordable housing developers in the acquisition, construction and/or rehabilitation of low-income rental and/or owner housing units, and in the provision of Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA). Tenant-based rental assistance is needed for low - income, homeless, veteran, victims of domestic violence, the elderly, and for mobile homeowners experiencing rising space rents.

Support Efforts to Address Homelessness
Using CDBG public service funds, the City will provide assistance to homeless service providers.

Support Agencies that Assist Special Needs Populations
Using CDBG public service funds, the City will provide assista nce to various social service agencies that provide community and public services to special needs households in the City.

Provide Needed Community Services to LMI Persons
Using CDBG public service funds, the City will provide assistance to various social service agencies for programs for youth, anti-crime, and general public services.

Preserve Existing and Create New Community and Public Facilities Using CDBG funds, the City will provide financial assistance to improve public facilities and parks.

Provide Needed Infrastructure Improvements
Using CDBG funds, the City will provide financial assistance to improve public infrastructure.

Support Community Development Programs
The City will conduct the following administration/planning activities: (1) General Administration of CDBG and HOME Program, including preparation of budget, applications, certifications and agreements, (2) Coordination of CDBG -funded capital improvement projects, (3) Coordination of Public Service Subrecipients, (4) Coordination of HOME -funded housing projects, (5) Monitoring of CDBG and HOME projects/programs to ensure compliance with federal regulations, (6) Preparation of Annual Action Plan, (7) Preparation of the CAPER, and (8) Fair Housing Foundation counseling, education and enforceme nt (CDBG funded). Up

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 128 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 to 20% of the annual CDBG entitlement and up to 10% of the HOME entitlement is allowed for administration activities.

SP-10 Geographic Priorities – 91.215 (a)(1)
General Allocation Priorities
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 Huntington 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 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, as seen in Map SP-10.1.

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 visual (windshield) 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, Broo khurst 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 “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.

(TBRA)
Strong rental market conditions in Huntington Beach are having adverse repercussions on the ability of low- and moderate -income households to find affordable rentals in the City . Rising rents and low vacancies are impacting the availability for low and moderate-income households able to be assisted with limited resources to afford rents. Seniors living in mobile home parks have also seen an exuberant increase in both mobile home and space rents in recent years.

There is a need to assist seniors on fixed incomes with the cost of living in mobile home parks.

Seniors living in mobile home parks have also seen an exuberant increase in both mobile home and space rents in recent years.

There is a need to assist seniors on fixed incomes with the cost of living in mobile home parks.

New Unit
Production
The production of new housing units is influenced by several market conditions, including the cost of land, the cost of construction, and prevailing interest rates.

While rates are currently at historic lows, the cost of land and labor act as major barriers to developing any type of new construction in the City with the limited amount of funds available.

Rehabilitation Rehabilitation activities can be influenced by the cost of material s and labor.

Home rehabilitation can provide an opportunity for households to maintain safe, decent, affordable housing without the cost of acquisition or production. This may help the City to maintain the availability of units that are affordable to a variety of households.

Acquisition,
including
preservation
While the cost of housing continues to rise within the City, the cost of acquisition is out of reach in many instances. Typically, the City's rehabilitation resources support combined acquisition and rehabilitation projects in partnership with non- profits that leverage City dollars with other funding sources. The cost of land, labor and materials affects the total development costs and the number of units that the City can support in any given year. Another critical issue that influences the use of funds to acquire properties for the creation or preservation of affordable units is the lack of a permanent source of financing. The elimination of the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency, coupled with c ontinued reductions in the HOME entitlement, makes addressing priority housing needs more challenging.

Table 49 - Anticipated Resources

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 140 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 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 nonfederal funds are usually insufficient to meet the heavy demand for housing and services in our community.

Agencies receiv ing CDBG and HOME funds use those funds as a commitment to receiving other funding sources.

Likewise, the City also leverages other resources among the formula grant programs. For example, the HOME program is matched by a variety of sources, including pri vate 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.

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 tha t 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 Hunti ngton 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 $2,794,025 as of September 30, 2018.

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 may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The City is in the process of acquiring land that could be used to develop an emergency homeless shelter to help meet the needs of the ever-growing homeless population, a priority need as described in the 2020/21-2024/25 Consolidated Plan.

Table 50 - Institutional Delivery Structure

Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System Huntington Beach is characterized by a capable and extensive housing and community development delivery system. Strong City and City agencies anchor the federal programs and housing and community development programs the City is able to support. In the com munity, there is a large network of experienced non-profit organizations that deliver a full range of services to residents.

The Office of Business Development Community Enhancement Division maintains direct communication with other City departments when revising or updating housing policies, issues and services. Through daily contact and inter -working relations, City staff implements programs and services and tracks issues of concern. This pr ocess allows easy access to data on building activity,

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 142 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 housing conditions, code requirements, zoning, growth issues, employment trends, and other demographic data.

In addition to the City’s internal network, through its federal entitlement and other resou rces, Huntington Beach interacts with various non-profit agencies and public service groups in the delivery of programs. These agencies are assisted by City staff in planning programs and projects, ensuring activity eligibility and costs, complying with federal regulations and requirements, and monitoring the timely expenditure of annually allocated program funds. The City requires agencies to submit quarterly and annual reports to meet federal requirements, and periodically conducts sub -recipient audits and on-site reviews.

Furthermore, the City of Huntington Beach performs project monitoring of all rent restricted affordable units assisted with HOME, CDBG, and former Redevelopment Agency housing funds. • Annually, audits are performed to ensure compliance with regulatory agreements and affordability covenants; and
• Periodic, on-site visits are conducted, which will include a property inspection and an in-depth review of the rent restricted affordable unit files assisted with HOME, CDBG, and the former Redevelopment Agency. As part of the Consolidated Plan process, the City received input from numerous housing and public service agencies through a combination of consultation workshops, interviews and a Needs Assessment Survey. These agencies provided valuable input into the identification of needs and gaps in service, and in development of the City’s five year Strategic Plan.

Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 145 Draft Report for Public Review: 03/11/2020 Coordination between public agencies providing housing resources, assisted h ousing providers, private and governmental health, mental health and human service agencies are critical to the delivery of viable products/services. In an effort to enhance coordination, the City is a member of the Orange County Commission to End Homelessness.

The primary gap in Huntington Beach's service delivery system is a function of the significant cuts in public and private funding and associated reductions in service. A lack of available funding, coupled with growing demand for services, leaves per sons underserved. These gaps can only be filled with additional funding sources while current providers cannot meet all the current need.

Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs The City will work with non -profit agencies, for -profit developers, advocacy groups, clubs, and organizations, neighborhood leadership groups, City departments and with the private sector to implement the City’s five-year strategy to address the priority needs outlined in this Consolidated Plan.

Engaging the community and stakeholders in the delivery of services and programs for the benefit of low to moderate residents will be vital in overcoming gaps in service delivery. The City will also utilize public notices, Community Workshops and Meetings (as appropriate), the City’s website, and other forms of media to deliver information on carrying out the Consolidated Plan strategies.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 152 Substantial Amendment No. Three November 2022 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 91.315(b)(2)

As presented above, the City’s five -year goal is to provide affordable housing opportunities to 3 62 extremely low, low, and moderate-income households through the following activities:
• Owner-Occupied SF, Condo, and Mobile Home Grant Program: The City offers a one-time grant not to exceed $10,000 to low-income homeowners for deferred maintenance and health and safety-related household repairs. Deferred maintenance can include paint, sidin g replacement, window and door replacement, roof repair, or removal of any condition of blight. Household repairs may include restoration or replacement of inoperable or severely deteriorated plumbing, heating, and electrical systems, structural and appliance replacement.

The City proposes to fund 40 grants during FY 2020/21 – 2024/25. • Owner-Occupied Single -Family Rehabilitation Loan Program: Funded with CDBG Revolving Loan Funds, the Single -Family Rehabilitation Loan Program offers low -income homeowners up to $75,000 in deferred payment loans. Individual loans may be increased by up to $10,000 if deemed necessary to meet HUD HQS requirements and rehabilitation standards and would require the approval by the Director of Economic Development. Payment of the principal and accrued interest is deferred until the property is sold, transferred, or refinanced. During the 5- year Consolidated Plan timeframe, the City proposes to fund 10 loans. • Acquisition/Rehabilitation/New Construction Affordable Housing Program: The City expects to have approximately $4 $3 million available HOME funds to provid e gap financing for the development of affordable housing. With a federal investment of $4 $3 million, the City anticipates that 20 10 units can be developed and HOME-restricted. • Tenant Based Rental Assistance: The City will continue implementing Tenant Based Rental Assistance Programs with qualified and experienced providers and have a goal to assist a total of 100 175 households with short and medium -term rental assistance as we ll as housing relocation and stabilization services . Rental Assistance may be provided to households belonging to the following underserved population groups: low -income households; homeless; seniors; and senior mobile home owners.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 154 Substantial Amendment No. Three November 2022 SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
The 2019 Housing and Community Development Survey found that the most highly recognized barriers to the development of affordable housing include the cost of land or lot, lack of available land, the Not In My Back Yard (NIMBY) Mentality. This was followed by density or other zoning requirements and the permitting process.

Table SP.55.1
Providing Decent and Affordable Housing
Huntington Beach
Housing and Community Development Survey
Question Response
Do any of the following act as barriers to the development or preservation of affordable housing in your community:

Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing 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 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 r ecorded on title when the unit is sold. To address the decline 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 Hou sing Element update, the City must assess and to the extent feasible, mitigate, its governmental constraints to housing for lower and moderate -income Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan
City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 155 Substantial Amendment No. Three November 2022 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 2013 -2021 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: Acquire, rehabilitate, and establish affordability covenants on 80 rental units.

Program 7. Residential and Mixed-Use Sites Inventory

Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan
City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 156 Substantial Amendment No. Three November 2022 SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless pe rsons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City of Huntington Beach is committed to addressing homelessness. In March 2014, the City Council conducted a study session on homelessness in the community, including a presentation by the Executive Director of the Orange County Commission to End Homelessness and the City's Police Chief.

Subsequently, the City contracted with City Net, a collaborative organization, to conduct research on the scope and scale of the homeless issu es in Huntington Beach, provide an asset map of homeless services and resources, and deliver recommendations about how to strategically leverage existing assets and resources in the community to address the problem. City Net’s findings and recommendations are summarized below:

1. The City possesses an abundance of non -profit organizations, faith congregations, local businesses, and community groups that are eager for collaborative solutions to ending homelessness in Huntington Beach.

2. The groups listed above are decentralized both structurally and geographically.

3. The City should invest in coordinating these resources without aggregating them or investing in heavy infrastructure.

4. A proactive connection should be established between the non -profit and faith communities to City safety personnel and other first responders.

5. The City should invest in a multi -sector collective impact collaborative which would meet regularly to achieve goals over the course of 12-months.

The City's Police Department recently engaged the services of the Coast to Coast Foundation, a non - profit Police Officer Liaison Program (POLP) designed to eliminate resource barriers and support law enforcement homelessness teams. Coast to Coast partners with police departments throughout Orange Co unty, providing a model that balances enforcement with outreach. Resources include:

Homeless Liaison Officer (HLO) kits for daily patrol, 24/7 locker locations kits, homeless relocation, trained outreach team, community campaign/education and empowerment i n support of law enforcement. The City's Police Department and Coast to Coast have created a volunteer program specifically designed to the needs of Huntington Beach. The volunteers engage in monthly outreach efforts to the homeless and have experienced great success.

Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City has and will continue to address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless and homeless families through support of homeless programs such as the Huntington Beach Youth Emergency Shelter, Interval House, Families Forward, and Mercy House. Through the City's Homeless Task Force, the City will also support the provision of emergency housing and services by Beach Cities Interfaith Services a nd the local faith -based community. The City has also created a Homeless Outreach Coordinator and Homeless Case Manager position who are responsible for Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan
City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 157 Substantial Amendment No. Three November 2022 creating relationships with the homeless and to provide services with an eye toward bringing their homelessness to an end.

In FY 2019/20, the City Council approved purchase of property located at 17631 Cameron Lane using non-federal funds. Via a substantial amendment to the FY 2019/20 Annual Action Plan, the City Council will consider approved an allocation of $1.5 over $3.5 million of federal CDBG and CARES Act funds to help offset costs associated operating the homeless shelter facility at the project site. The need for such a facility has increased in recent months due to the COVID -19 pandemic and Orange County’s Safer at Home Order. The Navigation Center will bring homeless service providers 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.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housin g and independent living, 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 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.

In FY 2020/21, the City will continue its dedication to assisting families in Huntington Beach with much needed rental assistance. In May 2020, a NOFA/RFP was solicited to qualified agencies with experience with administering HOME-funded TBRA programs, and a selection is expected in June 2020. With an investment of $900,000 towards this effort, the City anticipates that approximately 60 households could be served over a two-year period. Households that qualify for assistance include those that are of low and moderate income, as well as households who are currently housed, but are at risk of losing their housing due to COVID -19. Also, as part of this Substantial Amendment, the City will offer rental assistance to senior owners of mobile homes. Assistance will help to offset space rents that have increased causing financial hardship to seniors living on fixed incomes.

Help low -income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs
Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan
City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 158 Substantial Amendment No. Three November 2022 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 wi ll continue to address a discharge coordination policy with the Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force.

Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan
City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 159 Substantial Amendment No. Three November 2022 SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP 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 hazard s. 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.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? According to 2017 ACS data, an estimated 9.1 percent of housing units in the City are at risk of lead - based paint and have children aged 6 or under in those units. The efforts listed above are based on the City’s on-going efforts to keep households safe from lead-based paint hazards. These efforts are focused on education and response efforts to systematically address lead-based paint issues citywide.

How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? 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 f or 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 under the age of six, corrective actions will include testing and abatement if necessary, or abatement without testing.

Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan
City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 160 Substantial Amendment No. Three November 2022 SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families The City’s major objectives in reducing poverty within Huntington Beach are to: Reduce the number of familie s on welfare; Reduce the number of families needing housing subsidies; and Increase economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income persons. The City’s anti-poverty strategy seeks to enhance the employability of residents through the promotion and support of programs which provide employment training and supportive services, while expanding employment opportunities through the impleme ntation of a Business Improvement District, and its Economic Development Strategy that focuses on business retention, attraction, and marketing efforts.

Lastly, the City supports a variety of economic development activities that help to create and retai n jobs for low - and moderate-income households. Activities supported include a commercial property locator; ; financial assistance through the Small Business Administration; business counseling and training via a litany of not -for-profit Orange County agencies; technical assistance in permits, trademarks, environmental review, and taxes; and export and trade assistance. Micro -enterprise assistance, job training services, and technical assistance are some areas that may warrant consideration for funding during the Consolidated Plan period.

How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan:

Huntington Beach’s overall program for affordable housing is integral to the City’s strategy for reducing the number of poverty level families and individuals in the community. Examples of the interrelatedness of Huntington Beach’s housing programs to poverty reduction include:
• Participation by over 1,000 low and extremely low-income Huntington Beach households in the Housing Choice Rental Assistance Voucher Program administered by the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA).
• During this Consolidated Planning Period, the City wil l utilize HOME funds to gap finance an affordable housing project at a location yet to be determined.

City of Huntington Beach Consolidated Plan 161 Substantial Amendment No. Three November 2022 SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the pl an and will use to ensure long -term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
Huntington Beach follows monitoring procedures for CDBG-funded public service subrecipients which includes desk reviews of quarterly progress reports and expenditures, and periodic on -site visits to ensure compliance with federal regulations. All subrecipi ents are required by their subrecipient agreement to submit performance reports that demonstrate work is being performed in accordance with the scope of service, that evidences progress in meeting performance milestones, and that shows expenditures are allowable under the agreement. Staff also conducts periodic on -site monitoring of project activities to document compliance with HUD eligibility guidelines, performance in reaching contract goals, to determine if administrative and fiscal systems are adequate , and to ensure compliance with other crosscutting federal regulations.

CDBG-funded capital projects are monitored by regular status and fiscal reports for Davis/Bacon requirements throughout the course of the project, as well as frequent site visits by s taff. For some projects, the City's Public Works Department outsources the monitoring and project inspections on construction work.

The City is also responsible to HUD for monitoring HOME -assisted rental projects throughout the period of affordability to ensure that these projects are in continued compliance with Federal and State regulations. The City shall also follow steps to monitor beneficiaries of the Single -Family Residential Rehabilitation Program. During the pre-monitoring phase, applicants will sign a clause on the application form certifying that the property is the principal residence.
