Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction

On May 4, 2022, the Menifee City Council adopted its Five-Year 2022-2027 Consolidated Plan, which described the City’s housing and community development needs, strategies, and activities to address those needs over a five-year period using entitlement grant funds provided by the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 2026/2027 Action Plan for the period starting on July 1, 2026, and ending on June 30, 2027, represents the fifth year in that five- year plan. The grant program is consistent with HUD’s national strategy to provide decent housing opportunities, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, particularly for low- and moderate-income persons.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created the CDBG Program. The primary objective of the CDBG Program is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low-and moderate-income. The CDBG regulations require that each activity meet one of the following national objectives:

• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons;
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or • Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency.

Each year, the City certifies with the submission of its Annual Action Plan that it has given maximum feasible priority to activities that meet the first and second objectives above.

Additionally, the City certifies that no less than 70 percent of the CDBG funds received over a three-year certification period will be designed to benefit low- and moderate-income persons.

2026/2027 Program Year Funding

The City will receive $670,960 in Community Development Block Grant funds in the Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

Staff recommend that the Activity Delivery Cost for the Minor Home Repair Grant Program (MHRGP) be $40,000. Staff has increased the MHRGP funds over previous program years due to the high demand for the program. Many homeowners have felt the effects of the economy and can no longer stretch their budgets to include home repairs; therefore, this program remains very

4 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
popular. The $40,000 in ADC would help offset the cost of the part -time management aide and senior management analyst who administers the program.

The following summarizes the funding plan included within the proposed 202 6/2027 Annual Action Plan:

Minor Home Repair Grant Program (MHRGP) 396,124 60,000

Program Administration
City of Menifee Administration 110,192 Comprehensive Fair Housing Program 24,000 Total $134,192

Grand Total $670,960

If additional funds become available during the program year from savings of completed projects or dropped projects, the City will increase the funding of the Minor Home Repairs Program as outlined in the 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan. No substantial amendments will be required for such an action.

2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview

HUD’s Community Planning and Development (CPD) Outcome Performance Measurement Framework classifies objectives into three categories: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunity. Based on the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis , the Strategic Plan within the Consolidated Plan Identifies six high priority needs to be addressed through the implementation of activities aligned with the six Strategic goals.

2. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process

The City adopted a new Citizen Participation Plan on May 3, 2017, that reflects regulatory changes and process improvements. In accordance with the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan, the City facilitated citizen participation through surveys, workshops, community meetings, and public hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low- and moderate-income persons in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The City also made efforts to encourage the participation of minorities and non-English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. The consultation process included representatives of the CoC, PHA, and other specified groups who completed surveys, provided local data, and assisted the City to ensure practical coordination of strategies to maximize impact and to avoid duplication of effort.

AP-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction

In preparing the Consolidated Plan and the Assessment of Fair Housing, the City of Menifee consulted with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, creation of job opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, and the provision of services to children, seniors, persons with special needs, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following methods:
• Online Survey
• Individual stakeholder consultations
• Community meetings
• Public hearings
• Receipt of written comments

To gather the greatest depth of information, the City consulted with a wide variety of agencies, groups, and organizations concerning the housing, community, and economic development needs of the community. The primary agencies, groups, or organizations consulted can be found on the following pages. A comprehensive list of stakeholders is provided in Appendix B. The input received from these consultation partners helped establish the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan. Specific comments received from these organizations are included in Appendix B.

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 recognizes the importance of coordination and alignment among various service

9 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
providers to maximize the effectiveness of the CDBG program. As a result, during the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City consulted closely with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services, and other community-focused programs. Outreach efforts included surveys with specific questions associated with coordination, invitations to community meetings, workshops, and in-person interviews.

The City further recognized the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the preparation of the 2026/2027 Action Plan with these organizations and agencies. The City continues strengthening relationships and alignment among these organizations in the implementation of the NOFA process for CDBG funds and through technical assistance provided to sub-recipients of CDBG funds each year. The City monitors its affordable housing units every year to ensure compliance with State and Federal requirements, supports the County’s Section 8 program, and participates in the County’s Mortgage Credit Certification (MCC) program.

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 Continuum of Care of Riverside County (CoC) guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. The CoC is comprised of a network of public, private, faith-based, for-profit, and nonprofit service providers who utilize several federal, state, and local resources in providing services for homeless persons.

The County and its cities, including the City of Menifee, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. The nonprofit and faith-based community plays a key role in the current CoC system. Hundreds of agencies throughout the County provide programs ranging from feeding the homeless on the street to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are available to homeless families with children as well as single men and women. The nonprofit and faith-based community also serves special needs populations, such as victims of domestic violence, veterans, persons with disabilities, and unaccompanied youth.

During the Five-Year Consolidated Planning process, the City provided a detailed questionnaire to the CoC to identify the CoC’s perceived needs in the County and its objectives to address the needs of different homeless populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth and persons at risk of homelessness. Following the delivery and response to this questionnaire, the City followed up with the CoC to clarify existing needs and objectives and understand opportunities for collaboration and coordination during the five-year planning process.

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

10 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS In the development of the 2022 -2027 Consolidated Plan, the City of Menifee consulted forty - three housing, social services, and other entities involved in housing, community, and economic development in Menifee and throughout the region to obtain valuable information on priority needs in the City and how CDBG funds and other resources should be invested to provide decent affordable housing, a suitable living environment , and economic opportunities primarily for its low- and moderate-income residents. The CoC was consulted directly by telephone and email to discuss performance standards, outcomes, and policies and procedures for HMIS. The City was referred to the Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness, the Point-in-Time homeless count, and other publicly available reports. The City does not receive any ESG funds.

Below (section 2) includes a representative listing of the entities consulted as part of the consultation process.

AP-12 Citizen Participation

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting

On January 4, 2017, the City adopted a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) to describe how the City intends to involve its citizens in the development of the Consolidated Plan. On May 3, 2017, the Citizen Participation Plan was amended for appropriate and adequate citizen participation. On June 17, 2020, the CPP was revised for COVID-19.

The City established and followed the citizen participation process for the development of this five- year Consolidated Plan that included broad participation from the community. To assist in the identification of priority needs in the City, the Community Needs Assessment and Fair Housing Survey was prepared in English and Spanish and distributed to residents of the City to solicit input in the prioritization of needs related to community services, community facilities, infrastructure, neighborhood services, special needs services, businesses and jobs, and housing. The surveys were available online. The City received a total of 538 responses to the survey.

A community meeting was conducted on October 14, 2021. A community workshop was conducted on January 27, 2022, with prospective nonprofits intending to submit grant applications for CDBG funds and to obtain input on community needs. The Menifee Citizens Advisory Committee conducted a community meeting on March 8, 2022, to discuss the Consolidated Plan process.

Two public hearings were held at different stages in the development of the Consolidated Plan. The first public hearing was held on April 6, 2022. The second hearing was conducted on May 4, 2022, to receive comments on the draft 2022-2027 Consolidated Plan and the 2022/2023 Annual Action Plan. The Plans were adopted on May 4, 2022.

On March 23, 2026, the Menifee Citizens Advisory Committee (MCAC) conducted a meeting to consider the CDBG funding recommendations for the Fiscal Year 2026/2027. The MCAC performs in an advisory capacity to City staff and the City Council concerning the CDBG programs and activities. Eight non-profits attended and spoke about their proposed project. After receiving all testimony, the MCAC made its funding recommendation.

On April 3, 2026, the City published a notice in English and Spanish in the Press Enterprise, as well as posted on the city website; city hall, community services, police department, city libraries and Marion Ashley community center bulletin boards providing the public a 30‐day notice to review and comment on the draft 2026/2027 Action Plan. On May 6, 2026, the City Council will consider public testimony regarding the draft 2026/2027 Action Plan and authorize staff to submit it to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for program funding.

At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low- and moderate-income residents, members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved. To promote greater

29 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction

The strategic plan goals included in the Consolidated Plan were based on resources that are reasonably anticipated to be available to the City from federal, state, local , and private sources from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2027. The actual resources available to support activities during the implementation of this Consolidated Plan may vary significantly due to factors outside of the City’s control. For example, HUD formula grant allocations are subject to change each year based on a number of factors such as the amount of the national appropriation, changes in ACS population data applied to the CPD grant formulas, statutory changes to the CPD grant formulas, the addition or removal of entitlements receiving a particular CPD grant and the availability of reallocated funds.

Additionally, state, local, and private resources will vary significantly depending on economic conditions.

For Program Year 2026/2027, the City will receive $670,960 in CDBG funds from HUD.

Should additional CDBG funding become available during the program year through cost savings, an increase in allocation, or dropped activities, the City will use CDBG funds to expand the scope of the Minor Home Repair program. No substantial amendments will be required for such an action.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied To address housing and community development needs in Menifee, the City will leverage its CDBG entitlement grant with a variety of funding resources in order to maximize the effectiveness of available funds. Local governments had relied on redevelopment agencies to be the primary non-federal source of leveraged funds. With the elimination of this tool, the City’s ability to leverage federal funds has been substantially reduced. The City and its development partners will continue to seek new opportunities to leverage federal funds, such as the Low-Income Tax Credit program and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 202 and 811 for the Elderly Program.

Federal Resources
• Office of Homeless Services (OHS) Program
• HUD Veterans Affairs supportive Housing (HUD-VASH)
• Supportive Housing for the Elderly (Section 202)
• Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) • Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
• YouthBuild
• Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program

• Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN) • CalHome Program
• Multifamily Housing Program (MHP)
• Housing Related Parks Grant
• CalHFA Single and Multi-Family Program
• Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding

Local Resources
• Riverside County CoC
• Housing Authority of Riverside County (HARIVCO)
• Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA)
• City of Menifee General Fund
• City of Menifee Capital Improvement Program

Private Resources
• Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP) • Community Reinvestment Act Programs
• United Way Funding
• Private Contributions

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan

On February 1, 2012, the elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This negatively affected affordable housing and residential investment.

While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies may be utilized today, the available resources for affordable housing are scarce.

Discussion
Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG program, the City expects to spend approximately $2.5 million in CDBG funds between July 2022 and June 2027. It is anticipated that approximately $500,000 will be spent on housing rehabilitation, $1,0250,000 will be spent on public facilities and infrastructure projects, and $375,000 will be spent on public service.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG investments for the program year 2026/2027 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people. Due to the nature of the projects and activities to be undertaken, investments in projects concerning Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements are limited to the CDBG Target Areas, while other projects and activities benefit low- and moderate-income limited clientele.

The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state, and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low-income people, and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG funds through the 2026/2027 Action Plan in projects that provide grants to low- and moderate- income homeowners for home improvements, projects that provide public services to low- and moderate-income people, and projects that prevent homelessness. 35 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The CDBG Target Areas are comprised of three low- and moderate-income areas: Sun City, Quail Valley, and Romoland within the City of Menifee. These areas were developed as three distinct residential communities before the 1960s.

In Sun City, housing rehabilitation is needed. Since the area is limited to seniors, owner- occupied housing turnover is frequent, and housing has been inconsistently maintained. Many of the apartment complexes are older and may require rehabilitation.

Quail Valley is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Menifee. It is comprised of old houses on very small lots with community water but no community sewer system.

Romoland is also one of the oldest neighborhoods in Menifee. It is comprised of many substandard housing and mobile homes with an old community water system, no drainage systems, and an inadequate community sewer system.

During the period of the 2022-2027 Consolidated Plan, the City will continue to invest in the preservation of existing housing in both areas and the rehabilitation of existing infrastructure and public facilities to ensure that neighborhoods in the CDBG Target Area are improved.

CDBG Target Area 50%
Citywide 50%
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically For the 2026/2027 program year, the City will invest $670,960 of CDBG funds that will directly benefit low- and moderate-income people throughout the City. Due to the nature of the projects 41 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
and activities to be undertaken, investments in projects and activities such as Public Facilities and Infrastructure are limited to the CDBG Target Areas, while other projects and activities benefit low- and moderate-income limited clientele and are available citywide.

Discussion
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG investments for program year 2026/2027 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people.

AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
One high-priority affordable housing need has been identified in the 2022-2027 Consolidated Plan, and one Strategic Plan goal h a s b e e n established to provide the framework necessary to invest CDBG funds to address the affordable housing needs of the City.

Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing
As the City's housing stock ages, a growing percentage of housing units may need rehabilitation to allow them to remain safe and habitable. The situation is of particular concern for low- and moderate-income homeowners, especially the elderly, who are generally not in a financial position to properly maintain their homes.

The age and condition of Menifee’s housing stock are important indicators of potential rehabilitation needs. Commonly, housing over 30 years of age needs some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work, and plumbing systems.

Housing over 15 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating/air- conditioning systems, water heaters, and finish plumbing fixtures.

According to CHAS data showing the year that housing units were built categorized by owner and renter tenure:
• 4,436 or 22 percent of the 20,518 owner-occupied housing units in Menifee were built 40 or more years ago (built before 1980).
• 7,214 or 35 percent of the 20,518 owner-occupied housing units in Menifee were built between 25-40 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999). • 1,671 or 27 percent of the 6,300 renter-occupied housing units in Menifee were built 40 or more years ago (built before 1980).
• 2,328 or 35 percent of the 6,300 renter-occupied housing units in Menifee were built between 25-40 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999). 42 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate-income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities ensures that all economic segments of the community have the means to ensure that their property meets local standards and that all Menifee residents have the opportunity to live in decent housing.

The Strategic Plan identifies a high-priority need to expand the supply of affordable housing and a high-priority need to preserve the supply of affordable housing. During the 2026/2027 program year, the City of Menifee will invest CDBG funds in the preservation of affordable housing units. Specifically, CDBG funds will be used to support affordable housing preservation projects, including the Minor Home Rehabilitation Grant Program. 43 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
There are no public housing developments in Menifee. All public housing programs consist of housing choice and project-based vouchers administered by the Housing Authority of the County of Riverside (HACR).

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing There are no public housing developments or units planned for the City of Menifee in the next year. HACR will continue to actively support and assist Menifee residents with Housing Choice Vouchers.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
HACR maintains active resident councils at all public housing developments and includes resident members on its Board of Directors. HACR constantly seeks feedback from residents on improvements and planning documents to ensure activities are meeting the needs of residents.

HACR maintains a homeownership program for current public housing tenants through its Homeownership Program. HACR also links its Homeownership Program with its Family Self- Sufficiency Program to help households save money for a down payment through an escrow account.

If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
Not applicable. HACR is designated as a High Performing PHA.

Discussion
According to the Housing Authority, there are 153 individuals/families receiving Tenant-based Section 8 vouchers and 0 Project-based Section 8 vouchers in Menifee. 44 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City will invest CDBG funds during the 2026/2027 program year to address high-priority needs identified in the 2022-2027 Consolidated Plan, including preventing homelessness and providing public services to special needs populations, including victims of domestic violence and persons with disabilities.

Homelessness Prevention Services
According to Riverside County's most recent data available from the Point-in-Time Homeless Count (PIT Count) held on January 2 2, 202 5, on any given night in Riverside County, approximately 3,990 people are homeless, which is a 7% increase from 2023. Riverside County did not hold a count in 2026.

To address the incidents of homelessness in Menifee and to prevent extremely low-income Menifee families from becoming homeless, the City places a high priority on programs that work to prevent homelessness or rapidly connect homeless individuals with housing and supportive services. To address this need, the City will support a continuum of services in Riverside County to prevent and eliminate homelessness, including, but not limited to, homelessness prevention programs, emergency shelter programs, and transitional housing.

Using CDBG funds, the City will invest in homelessness prevention services by funding a food bank, the Menifee Valley Community Cupboard.

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
To reach out to unsheltered homeless persons and assess their individual needs for the purpose of connecting them with available emergency shelter and transitional housing resources, the Menifee Police Department created the Homeless Liaison Officer (HLO) in April 2022. The HLO and Riverside University Health System-Behavioral Health (RUSH-BH) are trained in working with homeless-related problems and are knowledgeable about local and regional resources.

They provide referrals to local service providers to address the homeless person’s needs. Prior to July 1, 2020, when the City of Menifee Police Department was incorporated, the City had a contract with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

The City of Menifee supports the efforts of the Riverside County Continuum of Care (CoC) and 45 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
its member organizations that address homelessness. As described earlier, the City supports local nonprofit agencies that provide emergency rental assistance and housing counseling to low- and moderate-income residents to prevent homelessness.

The emphasis of the City’s CDBG program will be to prevent homelessness by funding the Menifee Valley Community Cupboard, a local food bank.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Menifee supports the efforts of the Riverside County Continuum of Care (CoC) and its member organizations that address homelessness. As described earlier, the City supports local nonprofit agencies that provide emergency rental assistance and housing counseling to low- and moderate-income residents to prevent homelessness.

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 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
During the 2026/2027 program year, the City's Homeless Liaison Officer (HLO) and the Riverside University Health System-Behavior Health (RUHS-BH) will connect chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth with available resources through the Riverside County CoC, which is comprised of a network of public, private, faith-based, for-profit, and nonprofit service providers who utilize several federal, state and local resources to provide services for homeless people. The goal is to help unsheltered homeless people make the transition to permanent housing 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.

The nonprofit and faith-based community plays a key role in the current CoC system. Hundreds of agencies throughout the County provide programs ranging from feeding the homeless on the street to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are available to homeless families with children and single men and women. The nonprofit and faith-based community also serves special needs populations, such as victims of domestic violence, veterans, the disabled, and youth.
46 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions 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 agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
The Riverside County CoC Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness included a goal to establish county- wide protocols and procedures to prevent people from being discharged from public and private institutions of care into homelessness that will help decrease the number of persons being discharged into homelessness by at least 10 percent annually. The CoC is seeking to improve coordination among publicly and privately funded institutions of care and local service agencies in the County of Riverside in order to decrease the number of persons being discharged into homelessness annually.

Discussion
With limited CDBG resources available, the City is investing CDBG public service funds through the CDBG public service grants. Additionally, The City is investing general funds through the Police Department budget to provide for one Homeless Liaison Officer (HLO), one Community Behavioral Assessment Team (CBAT) Officer, and two Problem Oriented Policing (POP) Program Officers that will connect unsheltered homeless individuals and families with emergency shelter, transitional housing, and permanent housing opportunities, as well as other services to address special needs such as drug and alcohol rehabilitation and mental health services. 47 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land, and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful, and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.

Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the 2021-2029 Housing Element, and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in Menifee are housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply, and insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.

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
In the development of the 2021-2029 Housing Element, the City evaluated significant public policies affecting affordable housing development, such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, and growth limitations. Constraints included development costs, access to financing, and fees and assessments. Based on this evaluation, the City determined that it has taken all necessary steps to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may have been a barrier to affordable housing. Moreover, the City is actively engaged with affordable housing developers concerning the siting of affordable housing and ensuring that the entitlement process runs smoothly from inception to completion.

Discussion:

Since the redevelopment tool no longer exists, resources are scarce. The City will continue to provide incentives to attract private and other available public resources to facilitate affordable housing development. The City will rely on and support projects that utilize multi-family revenue bonds, as with the Encanto Apartments, low-income tax credits as with the Vineyard Apartments, and Section 515, as with the Haller Hillside project, to meet these needs. This strategy will increase the supply of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing in the City. 48 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

In the implementation of the 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG resources to address obstacles in meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include a lack of funding from federal, state, and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low-income people, and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG funds through the 2026/2027 Action Plan in projects that provide grants to low- and moderate- income homeowners for home improvements, projects that provide public services to low- and moderate-income seniors, veterans, and people and those with special needs, and projects that prevent homelessness. To address underserved needs, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG investments for the program year 2026/2027 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In the implementation of the 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG funds to preserve and maintain affordable housing through the City’s Minor Home Rehabilitation Grant Program, which will provide minor rehabilitation for approximately twenty owner- occupied single-family or manufactured housing units.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes the prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. Because nearly all of the City’s housing stock was built after 1978, it is rare for the City to encounter lead-based paint hazards as part of its housing rehabilitation program. Should a hazard exist, the City will require lead-based paint testing and risk assessments for each property assisted that was built before January 1, 1978, and safe work practices or abatement into the scope of work as required to reduce lead-based paint hazards in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35. 49 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG meeting the goals established in the 2022-2027 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty-level families by:
• Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households;
• Supporting activities that preserve the supply of decent housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households;
• Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness;
• Supporting housing preservation programs that assure low- i n c o m e households have a safe, decent, and appropriate place to live;
• Supporting public services for low- and moderate-income residents, including seniors, veterans, those with special needs, and those at-risk of homelessness offered by nonprofit organizations receiving CDBG public services grants; and In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start provide pathways out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally, in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKS, CalFresh (formerly food stamps), and Medi-Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidies for food, medical care, childcare, and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition, and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence, and mental illness.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional delivery system in Menifee is high functioning and collaborative—particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable nonprofit organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. Strong City departments anchor the administration of HUD grant programs and the housing, community, and economic development activities that are implemented by the City support and enhance this existing institutional structure.
50 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will continue consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low- and moderate- income residents in Menifee, particularly in the CDBG Target Areas.

Discussion:

In the implementation of the 2026/2027 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.
