RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council make required changes and
resubmit the Draft Fiscal Year 2025-2029 Consolidated
Plan and Draft Fiscal Year 2025-2029 Annual Action
Plan for the Community Development Block Grant
Program pursuant to HUD’s request, and Authorize

requested by HUD, HUD.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Serve as stewards of the City’s financial resources
through sound economic vitality efforts, streamlining
operations, reasonable revenue enhancements,
visionary long-term planning, fiscal transparency, and
community partnerships.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The Consolidated and Action Plans are required in
order to apply for and utilize federal Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

The Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) is a five-year plan
that defines the City’s affordable housing needs and
market conditions in order to make data-driven, placebased investment decisions. The consolidated planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide
dialogue to identify priorities that align and focus with the CDBG Program.

The Consolidated Plan is carried out through the City’s Annual Action Plans, which provides a concise
Agenda Report Highlights
 City Council must amend and
resubmit the FY 2025-2029
Consolidated Plan and FY 2025-2026
Annual Action Plan to comply with
HUD's requirements and recent
Executive Orders.
 Failure to comply with HUD's
guidance and Executive Orders may
result in disapproval of the Plan and
forfeiture of up to $8.3 million in
CDBG funding over five years.
 Required changes include removing
references to "equity," "inclusion,"
"DEI," and "transgender," and adding
assurance statements to align with
federal anti-discrimination laws.
 The City’s housing budget relies on
projected revenues, including
$250,000 in entitlement funds and
$1.55 million in program income for
FY 2024-2025.
 Extensive public outreach informed
the draft plans, and the integrity of
funding recommendations remains
unchanged despite the required
amendments.

Date: 7/23/2025
Item No.: 1.

Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 1, Packet Page 4 №11/25
summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan. The Action Plan is a one-year plan and budget that will implement the first year of the City’s adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2029 Five Year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan). Action plans are adopted every year.

The City must comply with recent Federal Executive Orders. If the City’s Plan does not comply, this would result in disapproval of the Plan and the City would forfeit grant funding for the CDBG program, including CDBG program income.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT (LEVINE ACT) APPLIES: No.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Adopting the required changes would ensure that the City continues to utilize the CDBG funding over the next five years. The City of Monterey’s FY 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) is based on an estimated award of $250,000 in CDBG entitlement funds and an estimated $1,549,808 in program income funds. This funding total includes federal entitlement, carryover from the previous fiscal year’s funding, and program income generated from loan repayments, and property sales, detailed as follows:
 $250,000 in estimated entitlement funds from CDBG/HUD  $1,549,808 in projected program income (payoff from rehabilitation loans and the sales of City owned deed restricted units).

It is important to note that the City’s housing budget is based on projected revenues. If actual revenue decreases short of projections, the amount of available program funding will be reduced accordingly.

City staff monitors the CDBG budget monthly to ensure that revenues and expenditures are within budget.

The total estimated funding, including both grant and Program Income funds over the FY 2025- 2029 Consolidated Planning period is $8,359,040.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The plans are considered categorically excluded under the Federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) guidelines (24 CFR Part 58). The plans are also exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1, 15306, Class 6 and 15326, Class 26) because the projects proposed for funding include the public service grant program, non-profit and City public infrastructure projects (building rehabilitation, sidewalk repairs, and park repairs/improvements), housing preservation (acquisition and rehabilitation) and planning and administration. These are minor projects that involve social service programs and rehabilitation/minor improvements to existing facilities.

Furthermore, the project does not qualify for any of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions found at CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.

Exception a - Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located - a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 2, Packet Page 5 №11/25
resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies. The proposed action recommending the draft plans and implementing budget include the public service grant program, non-profit and City public infrastructure projects, housing preservation and planning and administration. The environment is not sensitive as they involve minor projects and social service programs that rehabilitate and improve existing facilities.

Exception b - Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant. The proposed action recommending the draft plans and implementing budget include the public service grant program, non-profit and City public infrastructure projects, housing preservation and planning and administration. No cumulative impacts are foreseeable.

Exception c - Significant Effect. A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The proposed action recommending the draft plans and implementing budget include the public service grant program, nonprofit and City public infrastructure projects, housing preservation and planning and administration and no significant effect is anticipated.

Exception d - Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. No impacts are anticipated because none of the programs or sites are near a scenic highway.

Exception e - Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. There are no project sites referenced in the plans and implementing budget that are listed on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.

Exception f - Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. The plans do not reference any sites or locations identified as a historical resource.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

City Council may recommend no changes or other changes to the draft Consolidated and Annual Action Plan. However, that is not recommended. As stated earlier, if the City’s Plan does not comply, this would result in disapproval of the Plan and the City would forfeit grant funding for the CDBG program, including CDBG program income. There are no alternative funding sources to fulfill the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan.

The changes to the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan do not incorporate any changes to funding recommendations. Staff evaluated public input on Community Needs through public input through a substantial outreach program that informed these plans and programs. The programs, funding recommendations were determined through extensive outreach and the integrity of that process would be maintained with the recommended changes.

DISCUSSION:

Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 3, Packet Page 6 №11/25
On May 6, 2025, City Council Adopted the Proposed Draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, Draft Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan, and Draft Citizen Participation Plan for the Community Development Block Grant Program for Submittal to HUD. Staff submitted the Plans for HUD’s review.

City staff received an email from HUD’s Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) Office of Field Operations on July 18, 2025 (email is attached for reference). This email detailed required changes to ensure the City’s FY 2025 Consolidated Plan/Action Plan (Plan) would be administered in conformity with applicable laws, including Executive Orders.

The City must demonstrate the accuracy of its certification by taking the actions to amend the Plan and submit those changes by 5:00 pm EDT, Thursday, July 24, 2025. If the City fails to address HUD’s concerns by updating the plan and adding required certification assurances, this may result in HUD determining that the certification is inaccurate or unsatisfactory, which will result in disapproval of the Plan.

The following text are excerpts from HUD’s letter to the City of Monterey:

During HUD’s review of the Fiscal Year 2025 Consolidated Plan/Action Plan submitted by your jurisdiction, the Department identified language in the Plan that appears to be inconsistent with Executive Order 14151 Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing, and Executive Order 14173 Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity, and Executive Order 14168 Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. Specifically, the jurisdiction’s plan states the following:
- “Page 56: Overall in the County, 77 percent of individuals experiencing homelessness were unsheltered and sleeping in streets, abandoned buildings, vehicles, encampment areas, or other similar locations. The sheltered population was living in emergency shelters or transitional housing, which does not include people living in permanent supportive housing or participating in rapid rehousing programs. Countywide 66 percent of people experiencing homelessness were male, 32 percent were female, and 1 percent were transgender.” (page 56, emphasis added)
- Page 82: “Increase participation in homeless solutions by leaders and key stakeholders across the region Adopt a five-year plan Invest strategically Build political will for affordable housing Include people with lived experience of homelessness Engage new partners Center equity” (page 82, emphasis added) This language includes provisions that appear to be inconsistent with the implementation of federal programs pursuant to the referenced executive orders. In order to address this issue, the City of Monterey should provide assurance to the Department by taking the following actions:
1) Removing or replacing all “equity,” “inclusion” and DEI references throughout the document and replace with “activities and actions that do not violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964”; 2) Removing all “transgender” references throughout the document; and 3) Provide the following assurance statements within the Plan:

Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 4, Packet Page 7 №11/25
“The City of Monterey agrees that its compliance in all respects with all applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws is material to the U.S. Government’s payment decisions for purposes of section 3729(b)(4) of title 31, United States Code.” “The City of Monterey will not operate any programs that violate any applicable Federal antidiscrimination laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” “The City of Monterey shall not use grant funds to promote “gender ideology,” as defined in Executive Order (E.O.) 14168, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.”
The Plan has been revised to make the required changes. Should City Council approve these changes, staff will resubmit the Plan in HUD’s Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) and notify HUD that we have re-submitted the plan in IDIS. If HUD disapproves the Plan, the City will resubmit the Plan within 45 days after first notification of Plan disapproval (24 CFR

91.500(d)). HUD may require City staff to make further changes to the Consolidated Plan and staff further recommends that the City Manager be authorized to make any further administrative changes to the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan.

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

1. Introduction
The City of Monterey (City) has the goal of creating a community that effectively invests in their residents as recipients of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan) is a five-year strategic plan to address community development and housing needs that are specific to the City. The City utilizes the Consolidated Plan to allocate maximum efforts, including programming and funds, towards housing and community development goals. These priorities are established through careful and considerate analysis by researching demographics of the City, housing affordability and purchasing rates, economic standards, and other important factors.

An Annual Action Plan is developed every year to implement strategies to address community needs and goals developed in the Consolidated Plan process. This yearly plan describes the City’s CDBG-related projects and activities for the upcoming Program Year (PY). The Action Plan includes proposed actions to address the objectives and needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. The City reports on accomplishments and progress of Consolidated Plan goals in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) at the end of each year during the five-year Consolidated Plan cycle.

The Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan are both required by federal law to receive grant funding.

Additionally, as part of the Consolidated Plan, as a grantee, the City will submit a certification that it will affirmatively further fair housing. Finally, accomplishments and progress of meeting the goals of the Consolidated Plan are reported yearly in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

The City of Monterey agrees that its compliance in all respects with all applicable Federal antidiscrimination laws is material to the U.S. Government’s payment decisions for purposes of section 3729(b)(4) of title 31, United States Code.

The City of Monterey will not operate any programs that violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The City of Monterey shall not use grant funds to promote “gender ideology,” as defined in Executive Order (E.O.) 14168, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.

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

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The analysis of data identified needs for vulnerable populations including the significant number of lowincome households and the need for affordable housing units. The strategy for community improvement using CDBG funds will focus on the following five broad goals:
• Provide homeless prevention and public services benefitting all City residents, specifically low- to moderate-income households;
• Support affordable housing opportunities including the expansion and preservation of affordable housing, for low- and moderate-income households;
• Provide and improve public Infrastructure, particularly in low- to moderate-income communities; • Provide optimal program administration and oversight of the CDBG program to continue planning efforts to address the needs of extremely low, very low, and low-income households and areas.

3. Evaluation of past performance
The City accomplished many of the goals of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan:
• Funding to public service agencies providing direct services to homeless individuals, seniors, disabled individuals, and low-income individuals throughout the community (approximately 2,084 non-homeless persons were assisted and 329 homeless persons were assisted); • Public Facility project in Laguna Grande Park;
• Funding to low-income homeowners to assist with home repair, rehabilitation, and accessibility improvements (Five homeowner housing units were rehabilitated); and • Preparing for the ongoing purchase and resale of housing units with the goal of preserving lowincome homeownership opportunities in the City.

4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process As part of the preparation of the FY2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the City of Monterey conducted extensive public outreach and consultation. These efforts helped to determine the goals and priorities for CDBG funding and program income over the next five years. These activities are briefly described below:

Stakeholder consultation: Two virtual stakeholder workshops were held in December 2024. Participants were public service organizations, nonprofits and other interested parties. The workshops included a presentation of the Consolidated Plan’s purpose, contents and requirements. The majority of the time was spent conducting a Mentimeter poll where all participants were able to answer questions on a digital device and the answers were shown on the screen. This allowed participants to see answers in real time as well as spurring discussions.

Community workshops and Pop-Up Events: The City held three community meetings and five pop-up events throughout Monterey for the Consolidated Plan. It is estimated that a total of 242 people were in attendance at the community meetings and pop-up events.

A virtual community meeting was held on January 9, 2025. Similar to the stakeholder consultations, the meeting included a presentation and a Mentimeter poll. The in-person community events held on January Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 14, Packet Page 17 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
13, 2025 at the Hilltop Community Center and January 25, 2025 at the Montecito Firehouse provided community members with an opportunity to vote on the housing and community priorities important to them. Voting was done by placing dots on posters with different topics and programs.

Survey: A housing and community development survey was open between December 15, 2025 and January 31, 2025. The survey, available in English and Spanish, could be completed via online (SurveyMonkey) or paper. The weblinks and QR codes were advertised on the City’s website, social media, in community meetings and on flyers. Paper surveys were also available at City Hall and the pop-up and community events.

A total of 212 responses were received (209 in English and three in Spanish). Of the total, 17 responses were paper surveys and were inputted into SurveyMonkey for analysis.

The majority of surveys were completed by respondents residing in Monterey. Some were completed by respondents outside of the City, presumably from people who work but not live in the City, or individuals who own businesses or properties, or have other interests in the City.

Survey questions included demographic and household income information; broadband internet usage; rankings for community services, community facilities, neighborhood improvements, economic development needs, housing needs and special housing needs; and fair housing questions. Respondents were asked to rank housing and community needs in order of importance to them.

Rank and Review Committee meeting: A virtual Rank and Review Committee meeting was held on Friday, January 10, 2025. This meeting was part of the Annual Plan outreach and included presentations from agencies intending to apply for FY2025-26 funding. At the start of this meeting, a presentation was given about the Consolidated Plan process.

Public Noticing: Public noticing of Consolidated Plan outreach activities was done through a variety of formats including the City website, emailing stakeholders, advertisements in the Monterey Herald newspaper and Monterey County Weekly, distributing flyers throughout the City, and social media posts.

A 30-day public review period of the draft Consolidated Plan occurred from April 4, 2025 to May 6, 2025.

Public Hearings: The Consolidated Plan was presented to the Planning Commission on April 8, 2025 with a recommendation to the City Council for adoption. A City Council meeting for adoption of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan was held on May 6, 2025.

7. Summary
The City conducted several public meetings and hearings to gather input and review the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. In addition, the City held stakeholder meetings with multiple community and regional organizations and agencies providing services to low income and homeless populations. The City has consulted several plans to inform the development of this Plan that has included the City of Monterey 2023-2031 Housing Element and the Lead Me Home Plan developed by the Coalition of Homeless Service Providers. Please see section PR-10 of this Consolidated Plan for other plans consulted.

Public meetings, community and housing need surveys, stakeholder consultation, and hearings, have been the significant contributors to the development of Plan goals and strategies to address needs.

Additionally, data gathered has also greatly supported the input from the engagement process.

1. Introduction
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)).

It is the City’s policy, as referenced in the Housing Element of the General Plan, to assist the Housing Authority, nonprofit agencies, and private developers in providing housing opportunities to extremely low-, low-, and very low-income households when such an opportunity is identified. Since 2013, the City has participated in the Coalition of Homeless Service Providers (CHSP) Leadership Council’s oversight of the Lead Me Home Plan.

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 Coalition of Homeless Service Providers (CHSP) is the Continuum of Care (CoC) for Monterey and San Benito Counties. The City of Monterey Planning staff regularly attend monthly meetings held by the CHSP, which include the CHSP Board meeting, the Housing Pipeline meeting, the Leadership Council meeting, and the meeting of the CHSP Executive Committee, all held once per month.

The Lead Me Home Leadership Council of Monterey and San Benito Counties developed the 2021-2026 Lead Me Home Plan Update to help identify the needs of people in Monterey County experiencing homelessness and strategies to address the needs of this population. The plan included outreach and analysis to identify areas where current efforts to address homelessness were falling short. The analysis showed that an insufficient supply of rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing in the County was a key challenge in the region, as well as the lack of a coordinated regional strategy to develop affordable housing, particularly housing for those at the lowest income levels.

People experiencing homelessness specifically requested additional supports and services to help them secure housing (e.g., housing focused case management, navigation services, property owner outreach and education), expanded availability of rental assistance, housing retention support (particularly assistance for behavioral and health conditions), and innovative housing solutions such as tiny homes, RV parks, and transitional housing.

The City of Monterey’s Housing Programs Office is working to implement many of the key strategies identified in the Lead Me Home Plan Update.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting As part of the preparation of the FY2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the City of Monterey conducted extensive public outreach and consultation.

These efforts helped to determine the goals and priorities for CDBG funding and program income over the next five years. The attached Public Outreach Report details these activities. A brief description is below:

Stakeholder consultation: Two virtual stakeholder workshops were held in December 2024 (December 11 and December 19). Participants were public service organizations, nonprofits and other interested parties. The workshops included a presentation of the Consolidated Plan’s purpose, contents and requirements. The majority of the time was spent conducting a Mentimeter poll where all participants were able to answer questions on a digital device and the answers were shown on the screen. This allowed participants to see answers in real time as well as spurring discussions.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan, in conjunction with information gathered through consultations and the citizen participation process, will provide a clear picture of the City of Monterey’s needs related to affordable housing, community development, and homelessness. From this Needs Assessment, the City identified those needs with the highest priority, which will form the basis for the Strategic Plan and the programs and projects to be delivered over the five-year planning period.

The Needs Assessment relies on a variety of statistical data to inform Consolidated Plan priorities.

Municipalities are required to use a template provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to structure the Consolidated Plans. This HUD template includes tables with demographic information from the 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS), which the City uses to analyze trends and develop narratives related to housing, economic conditions, and population demographics.

When the template does not provide specific data, the City supplements with the most current information available, which may lead to variations in data periods and consistency. The data sources utilized include:
• 2019-2023 and 2016-2020 American Community Survey Five-Year Estimates • 2016-2020 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) Data from HUD • 2024 Monterey County Homelessness Point-In-Time Count and Survey • City of Monterey 2023-2031 Housing Element
• Department of Justice Domestic Violence-Related Calls for Assistance • 2022 Monterey County Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) • Lead Me Home Plan Update: Five Year Plan to Reduce Homelessness in Monterey and San Benito Counties

NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
In 2020, Monterey had a population of 28,575 persons and 12,375 households (Table 5). These were both slight increases from the base year of 2009. During that same timeframe, the median income for Monterey residents increased by 22 percent, from $66,166 to $80,908. According to the most recent CHAS data (2016-2020) approximately 36 percent of Monterey households (4,415) qualify as low-to-moderate income based on HUD guidelines (<80 percent AMI) (Table 6). This includes 79 percent renter households and 21 percent owner occupied households. There are 4,650 households with at least one elderly person (persons over the age of 62) in Monterey (Table 6). Of these, about 25 percent are extremely low-income (<80 percent AMI).

Housing Needs Summary Tables
To help dissect the housing problems facing Monterey, the following tables provide details:
• Table 5 presents the population and household growth between 2009 and 2020. • Table 6 presents the number of households by special characteristics. • Table 7 presents the number of households with one or more housing problems (inadequate housing, overcrowding, cost burden of 50 percent, or cost burden of 30 percent) by income and tenure.
• Table 8 summarizes the number of households with more than one or more severe housing problems by income and tenure. Severe housing problems are: inadequate housing; severe overcrowding (1.51 persons or more per room); and housing cost burden of 50 percent. • Table 9 isolates those households with housing cost burden of over 30 percent (inclusive of those with cost burden of over 50 percent) by income and tenure. • Table 10 further isolates those households with cost burden of over 50 percent. • Table 11 presents overcrowding by household type.
• Table 12 is intended to show overcrowding for households with children. However, the American Community Survey provides no data for the City.

As previously mentioned, for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), a person is considered low income only if they area a member of a family whose income would qualify as "very low income" under the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments program. Unrelated individuals are considered as oneperson families for this purpose. Generally, these Section 8 limits are based on 50 percent of area median income (AMI). Similarly, CDBG moderate income relies on Section 8 "lower income" limits, which are generally tied to 80 percent of AMI.

As defined by HUD in the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, housing problems include:
• Units with physical defects (lacking complete kitchen or bathroom); • Overcrowded conditions (housing units with more than one person per room); • Housing cost burden (including utilities) exceeding 30 percent of gross income; and Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 33, Packet Page 36 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 22
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Severe housing cost burden (including utilities) exceeding 50 percent of gross income.

The demographic data for the City, Table 5, shows slow population growth (a one percent increase). A trend of slowed growth can indicate several causes, such as less births or families, individuals relocating, and high housing costs due to high demand. While the data in Table 5 shows there has been a small increase in population growth, the number of households has increased at a slightly higher rate (five percent). This could be due to changes in household structure, as children age out of their family homes and move into separate households from their parents.

Demographics Base Year: 2009 Most Recent Year: 2020 % Change Population 28,285 28,575 1%
Households 11,785 12,375 5%
Median Income $66,166.00 $80,908.00 22%
Table 5 - Housing Needs Assessment Demographics
Data Source: 2000 Census (Base Year), 2016-2020 ACS (Most Recent Year) According to Table 6, approximately 10 percent of the City’s households earn 0-30 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) or are extremely low income. Of households in the 0-30 percent AMI income category, about one third (30 percent) are households that contain at least one person between 62 and 74 years old, and about 20 percent contain at least one person aged 75 or older.

Approximately nine percent of households earn 30-50 percent of AMI. Of these, approximately one third (30 percent) of households contain at least one person between 62 and 74 years old, and about 20 percent contain at least one person aged 75 or older.

About 17 percent of households earn 50-80 percent of AMI. In the 50-80 percent of AMI category, small family households accounted for the highest numbers at 24 percent of total households in this income category, and households that contain at least one person between 62 and 74 years old made up 23 percent of households in the 50-80 AMI category.

Just over 11 percent of households earn 80-100 percent of AMI. For households in the 80-100 percent of AMI category, about 24 percent are small family households and about 16 percent include at least one person between 62 and 74 years old.

Over half (53 percent) of households earn over 100 percent of AMI. Small family households make up more than one third (36 percent) of households with incomes greater than 100 percent AMI, and households with at least one person between 62 and 74 years of age make up 23 percent of households in this category.

Of low-income households between 0 and 100 percent AMI, about 19 percent contain at least one person 62 years or older, four percent contain one or more children 6 years old or younger, nine percent are small family households (two people), and two percent are large family households (five or more people).

Table 12 – Crowding Information – 2/2
Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.

Data regarding single person households was gathered from the 2019-2023 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates. The data shows 4,337 single, 1-person households in the City, accounting for 20 percent of adults 18 years or older in Monterey. The age cohort with the highest number of single people living alone is people over 65 years, totaling eight percent of adults over 18, or 1,684 persons. Additionally, the data also shows a large share of people between 35 and 64 years old living alone: seven percent of adults over 18 or 1,612 people. Though it is unknown whether these householders are single, unmarried, or without caretakers, this data finding could indicate a need in the community. For example, seniors are more likely to have mobility limitations and require services to assist them in their daily lives, so the high number of people over 65 living alone may need some form of housing assistance. In addition, 1,875 of the total 4,650 senior households (40 percent) in the City are low- and moderate-income households (earn less than 80 percent of the median income). Approximately 20 percent of low- and moderate-income senior renter households and 13 percent of low- and moderate-income senior owner households face cost burden in Monterey.

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

Persons with Disabilities
Of the 15,846 persons 18 to 64 years of age and categorized as civilian noninstitutionalized, 1,211 (7.6 percent) have disability status. This is slightly lower than in Monterey county, where 6.9 percent of persons 18 to 64 have a disability. However, 1,531 seniors aged 65 and older (27.3 percent) have disability status. This percentage is lower than the senior population in the County with a disability (31.8 percent).

Overall, 2,801 people in the City experience one or more disabilities.

In general, persons with disabilities require accessible and affordable housing, with easy access to supportive services and transportation services. This can include special housing design features for the physically disabled, income support for those who are unable to work, and in-home supportive services for those with medical conditions. The majority of persons with disabilities live on an income that is significantly lower than the non-disabled population. Ambulatory difficulties are the most prevalent amongst Monterey residents with a disability (47 percent of people with a disability), followed by a cognitive difficulties and independent living difficulties (both 39 percent of people with a disability).

Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 39, Packet Page 42 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 28
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The San Andreas Regional Center serves individuals with developmental disabilities in Monterey. The majority (83 percent) of Regional Center clients were living with a parent or guardian.

Victims of Domestic Violence
The 2024 Monterey County Point-In-Time (PIT) Homeless Count found the County-wide homeless population was 2,436, including 221 persons identified within Monterey. While data does not exist at the City level, County-level data indicated that six percent of survey respondents reported currently experience domestic/partner violence or abuse at the time of the PIT count. This percentage has decreased since 2022 (10 percent). Additionally, 34 percent responded that they had been physically, emotionally, or sexually abused in their lifetime. Victims of domestic violence may require special services to find housing, especially single mothers who may also be responsible for childcare expenses. The 2019- 2023 ACS estimates that approximately 35 percent of the City’s female-headed families, with no spouse present and with children under 18 years of age are living below the poverty level in 202 compared to 5 percent of married-couple families with children under 18 years of age.

What are the most common housing problems?
Cost burden is by far the most prevalent housing problem among both renter and owner households. The City has 3,275 (72 percent) renter households with an AMI of 100 percent or less and 885 (70 percent) owner households with an AMI of 100 percent or less experiencing a housing cost burden. Severe overcrowding is the second-most prevalent housing problem, with five percent of renter households with an AMI of 100 percent or less and 0.3 percent of owner households with an AMI of 100 percent or less experiencing severe overcrowding.

Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Of the households in the City with an AMI 100 percent or less, 78 percent are renter households and 22 percent are owner households. A slightly disproportionate number of renter households experience at least one housing problem (79 percent of all households earning 100 percent or less of AMI) compared to owner households (21 percent of all households earning 100 percent or less of AMI). Furthermore, approximately 77 percent of low- and moderate- income renter and owner households (households earning 80 percent or less of AMI) face cost burden in Monterey.

However, as shown in Table 7, for certain housing problems renters are significantly more impacted than owners. For example, no owner households are overcrowded, while 75 renter households experience overcrowding. There are 230 renter households that are severely overcrowded, while only 4 owner households experience severe overcrowding. Similarly, all households that lack complete plumbing or kitchen facilities are renter-occupied households.

While cost burden is a problem for both renters and owners, slightly more owner households (42 percent of those earning 100 percent or less of AMI) experience a severe cost burden versus renters (37 percent of those earning 100 percent or less of AMI).

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
In Monterey approximately 10 percent (1,185) of households earn extremely low incomes (Table 6). Of these, 84 percent are renters and 16 percent are owners. Households with incomes below 80 percent of AMI account for approximately 36 percent of all households. Of these, 42 percent contain at least one person 62 years or older. Households with one or more children 6 years old or younger account for nine percent of these households, and small family households account for 18 percent of these households.

According to the 2019-2023 ACS, eight percent of all families had incomes below the poverty level in 2023, and 11 percent of families with children had incomes below poverty level in 2023. In Monterey County11 percent of all families had incomes below poverty level and 17 percent of families with children had incomes below poverty level in 2023. Families with children had higher rates of poverty than other families, particularly families with three or more children. About 42 percent of these families had incomes below poverty level in 2023.

According to the 2019-2023 ACS, families that rented their homes were more likely to have incomes below poverty level. Although just 62 percent of all families in the City overall rent their homes, ten percent of families that rent their homes have incomes below poverty level Rapid re-housing helps families and individuals who are not chronically homeless obtain permanent housing immediately and to stabilize themselves as soon as possible. These households have lived independently in permanent housing in the past but need temporary assistance for a limited time period (e.g., months, not years). While receiving assistance, these households can become increasingly selfsufficient through public assistance and/or employment.

Extremely low-income households with a severe housing cost burden are more likely to lose their homes in the event of loss of employment or other unexpected expenses. The 2024 Monterey County Homelessness PIT Count and Report identifies financial issues such as job loss or eviction as the primary cause of homelessness in the County, followed by alcohol or drug use. The inability to afford rent and not enough income were top obstacles to obtaining permanent housing.

NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

Introduction
A key task of the Consolidated Plan is identification of racial or ethnic groups that may experience a disproportionately greater extent of housing problems in the community. A disproportionately greater housing problem or need exists when the numbers of a racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience housing problems at a rate greater than 10 percent or more than the income level as a whole.

HUD identifies four housing problems:

1. Housing unit lacking complete kitchen facilities

2. Housing unit lacking complete plumbing facilities

3. Overcrowded with more than 1 person per room not including bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half‐rooms.

4. Cost burdened, with household paying more than 30 percent of income toward housing costs (including utilities)

Discussion
A disproportionately greater need exists when the numbers of a racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience housing problems at a rate greater than 10 percent or more than the income level as a whole. To enable an analysis of “Disproportionately Greater Need” a baseline has been established to show the percent of households in the community experiencing housing problems. The baseline percentages by income category are (Table 13 through Table 16):
• 84.4 percent for 0 percent - 30 percent of AMI (e.g., 1,000/1,185) • 88.7 percent for 30 percent – 50 percent of AMI
• 80.6 percent for 50 percent – 80 percent of AMI
• 55.9 percent for 80 percent – 100 percent of AMI
These baseline percentages have been used to assess whether any racial ethnic group shown in the following Disproportionately Greater Need Tables (Table 13 through Table 16) are experiencing disproportionately greater housing problems/needs (greater than 10 percent of the baseline). As previously indicated the greatest contributor to the City’s documented housing problems relates to lack of affordable housing and high cost burden.
• Among extremely low income households (0 percent - 30 percent of AMI), no race group is disproportionately affected by housing problems.
• Among low-income households (31 percent to 50 percent of AMI), 100 percent of Black/African American and Asian households have one or more of the four housing problems and are disproportionately affected by these problems.

• Among moderate income households (51 percent to 80 percent AMI), Black/African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Pacific Islander households are disproportionately affected by housing problems (100 percent for all groups, compared to 80.6 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole).
• Among middle income households (81 percent to 100 percent of AMI), Black/African American households are disproportionately affected by housing problems (86 percent compared to 55.9 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole).

NA-20 Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

Introduction
Severe housing problems are those related to housing cost burden and overcrowding.

HUD identifies four severe housing problems:

1. Housing unit lacking complete kitchen facilities

2. Housing unit lacking complete plumbing facilities

3. Severely overcrowded, with more than 1.5 persons per room not including bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half‐rooms

4. Severely cost burdened families paying more than 50 percent of income toward housing costs (including utilities)
A disproportionately greater need exists when the numbers of a racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience housing problems at a rate greater than 10 percent or more than the income level as a whole.

Based on the number of total households reporting cost burden greater than 50 percent and more than

1.5 persons per room, baseline percentages for these severe housing problems by income category have been calculated. These baseline percentages are:
• 80.6 percent for 0 percent - 30 percent of AMI
• 67.1 percent for 30 percent - 50 percent of AMI
• 30.7 percent for 50 percent - 80 percent of AMI
• 12.1 percent for 80 percent - 100 percent of AMI

Discussion
The baseline percentages described above have been compared with Table 17 through Table 20 to assess whether any racial ethnic group is experiencing a disproportionately greater severe housing problem need.
• Among extremely low-income households (0 percent - 30 percent of AMI), Hispanic households are disproportionately affected by severe housing problems (90.6 percent of households compared to 80.6 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole). • Among low-income households (31 percent to 50 percent of AMI), Asian households are disproportionately affected by severe housing problems (84.2 percent of households compared to 67.1 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole).
• Among moderate income households (51 percent to 80 percent AMI), American Indian/Alaska Native households are disproportionately affected by severe housing problems (100 percent of households compared to 80.6 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole). • Among middle income households (81 percent to 100 percent of AMI), no households are disproportionately affected by severe housing problems.

Introduction:

Per HUD definitions, a disproportionate need exists when any racial or ethnic group has a housing need that is 10 percent or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole. A household is considered cost burdened when paying more than 30 percent of its income toward housing costs, including utilities, and is severely cost burdened when paying more than 50 percent of its income toward housing costs, including utilities.

This section analyzes the extent of cost burden and identifies populations that have a disproportionately greater need.

Discussion:

Below is a summary of the disproportionate cost burden experienced by households in the City:
• As a whole, 45 percent of households in the City are cost burdened and spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs, with 25 percent spending between 30 and 50 percent of their income on housing costs and 20 percent spending over 50 percent of their income on housing costs.
• Black/African American (58.8 percent) and Pacific Islander (73.7 percent) households are disproportionately cost burdened and spend 30-50 percent of their income on housing costs, compared to 25 percent of the jurisdiction that spends 30-50 percent of their income on housing costs.

• American Indian and Alaska Native households (54.5 percent) are disproportionately cost burdened and spend over 50 percent of their income on housing costs, compared to 20 percent of the jurisdiction as a whole.

Households with no/negative income are not considered in the analysis as they cannot, by definition, have a cost burden, although they still may require housing assistance.

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? Overall 42 percent of households in the City are cost burdened and spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs. Renters face cost burden at a greater rate (48 percent) than homeowners 930 percent). Black/African American (58.8 percent) and Pacific Islander (73.7 percent) households are disproportionately cost burdened and spend 30-50 percent of their income on housing costs, compared to 25 percent of the jurisdiction that spends 30-50 percent of their income on housing costs.

Extremely Low Income Households (0% - 30% of AMI)
While no race group among extremely low income households is disproportionately affected by housing problems, about 84 percent of these households have at least one housing problem and about 81 percent are affected by at least one severe housing problem. Hispanic households in this income group are disproportionately affected by severe housing problems (90.6 percent of households compared to 80.6 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole).

Low Income Households (31% to 50% of AMI)
About 89 percent of low income households have at least one housing problem and about 67 percent are affected by at least one severe housing problem. 100 percent of Black/African American and Asian households in this income group have one or more of the four housing problems and are disproportionately affected by these problems, and Asian households are disproportionately affected by severe housing problems (84.2 percent of households compared to 67.1 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole).

Moderate Income Households (51% to 80% AMI)
About 81 percent of moderate income households have at least one housing problem and about 31 percent are affected by at least one severe housing problem. Black/African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Pacific Islander households are disproportionately affected by housing problems (100 percent for all groups, compared to 80.6 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole), and American Indian/Alaska Native households in this income group are disproportionately affected by severe housing problems (100 percent of households compared to 80.6 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole).

Middle Income Households (81% to 100% of AMI)
About 56 percent of middle income households were impacted by one or more housing problems, and 12 percent were impacted by one or more severe housing problems. Black/African American households are disproportionately affected by housing problems (86 percent compared to 55.9 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole), but no households in this income group are disproportionately affected by severe housing problems.

If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? The analysis presented above shows the need for additional affordable housing options in Monterey, particularly for moderate income, low income and extremely low income households. Additionally, programs focused on home rehab and maintenance could provide assistance to households with a lack of plumbing and kitchen facilities. Programs to encourage the construction of larger homes affordable to lower income families could address issues of overcrowding.

Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community?
Figure 1 identifies the Low- and Moderate-Income Areas in Monterey. As shown in the map, low- and moderate-income areas are generally concentrated along the coast in the north part of the City.

A minority “concentration area” is defined as an area whose proportion of minority population is greater than the overall Monterey County average (71 percent). Based on 2016-2020 ACS data, there are no census tracts in Monterey that exceed the County average.

NA-35 Public Housing – 91.205(b)
Introduction
The Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) is a public agency that provides rental assistance and manages affordable housing throughout Monterey County. HACM also administers Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8). The Housing Choice Voucher is a rent subsidy program that helps lower-income (up to 50 percent AMI) families and seniors pay rents in private units. Voucher recipients pay a minimum of 30 percent of their income toward their contract rent, and the local housing authority pays the difference through federal funds up to the payment standard (fair market rent) established by the HACM.

The County of Monterey currently has an allocation by HUD of 4,442 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and there are currently 4,091 applicants on the HCV waiting list. The City of Monterey’s allocation is a total of 364 vouchers (8.2% of the total vouchers available in the County), including 79 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Vouchers, 27 Emergency Housing Vouchers, 2 Family Unification Vouchers, 5 Mainstream Vouchers, 209 other tenant-based vouchers, and 34 Project Based Vouchers. The City will continue to coordinate with HACM as the regional housing authority and public housing provider whenever possible. Estimates outlined in this narrative are based on the most recent 2025 data provided by HACM.

Therefore, HCV estimates described in this section may not align with estimates in Table 22.

HACM has converted all its public housing units to Project-Based Rental Assistance. Currently there are 177 assisted housing units in the City of Monterey. These units are in ten separate projects:
• Portola Vista at 20 Del Monte Avenue – 64 units
• Montecito Apartments at 242 Montecito Street – 8 units • Watson Apartments at 531 Watson Street – 5 units
• Casanova Plaza at 800 Casanova Ave – 17 units
Of the total inventory of HACM assisted housing in the City, 64 of the units are for seniors and/or disabled persons, 30 units are for families. • MIDPEN: Van Buren Senior Housing at 669 Van Buren Street – 18 units • CHISPA: El Estero Senior Housing at 151 Park Avenue – 26 units • INTERIM, INC.: Casa de Los Robles at 504 W. Franklin Street – 6 units • INTERIM, INC.: Dela Vina Apartments at 345 Dela Vina Avenue – 14 units • INTERIM, INC.: Casa de Perla at 608 Pearl St – 8 units Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 55, Packet Page 58 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 44

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)
Introduction:

The Coalition of Homeless Service Providers (CHSP) is the Continuum of Care (CoC) for the Counties of Monterey and San Benito and includes the City of Monterey. Every two years, in the month of January, communities across the United States conduct a Point-in-Time (PIT) count of the local population experiencing homelessness. For 2024, the CoC conducted its PIT county on January 31. These counts collect information on individuals and families residing in temporary shelters and places not meant for human habitation and ultimately help the federal government to better understand the nature and extent of homelessness nationwide. As required by the HUD, jurisdictions receiving federal funding to provide homeless services, CoCs must report the findings of their local PIT count to HUD. Information gathered through the PIT survey is used by the CHSP to understand the issues associated with homelessness, including causes of homelessness, service needs of the homeless, the region’s unmet housing needs, and trends over time of homelessness in the region.

A total of 2,436 persons were counted in the County of Monterey. In the City, a total of 221 were counted as homeless, a 119 percent increase from the count in 2022. No specific data on the characteristics of people experiencing homelessness in the City of Monterey is available from the PIT. Countywide, the homeless population increased by 19 percent since 2022. The number of sheltered in the City was 80 and 141 unsheltered.

The numbers show that the City is home to the third highest homeless population in Monterey County.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction:

Certain households, because of their special characteristics and needs, may require special accommodations and may have difficulty finding housing due to their special needs. Special needs groups include the elderly, persons with disabilities, large households, single-parent households, victims of domestic violence, farmworkers, persons with alcohol or other drug addiction, and veterans.

Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:

Elderly
According to the 2019-2023 ACS, there are 5,868 people 65 years or older in the City. Approximately 56 percent of people 65 years or older have a disability, primarily ambulatory, hearing, and independent living disabilities. Table 6 above shows that about one quarter of households with a member 62 or older are low or extremely low income. According to the 2019-2023 ACS, about 30 percent of the population 65 years or older lives alone. About 34 percent of elderly households are cost burdened and spend over 30 percent of their income on housing.

Persons with Disabilities
Overall about 11 percent of the population in Monterey has at least one disability according to 2019-2023 ACS data. Ambulatory difficulties, cognitive difficulties, and independent living difficulties were the more prevalent disability types in Monterey.

Large Households
Approximately 4 percent of all households in Monterey are large households (five or more members).

About 28 percent of large households in Monterey are low income or extremely low income, all of which are renter households. All of these households are cost-burdened, paying 30-50 percent of their income for housing.

Single-Parent Households
There are 525 single-parent families in Monterey according to the 2019-2023 ACS. Of these, 44 percent are headed by males and 56 percent are headed by females.

According to the 2024 PIT, six percent of people experiencing Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 64, Packet Page 67 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 53
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
homelessness were also currently experiencing domestic/partner abuse or violence, and 34 percent had a history of being physically, emotionally, or sexually abused.

Farmworkers
The Farmworker Housing Study and Action Plan for Salinas Valley and Pajaro Valley conducted in 2018 identified current needs and strategies to provide sufficient affordable farmworker housing over the next 10 years, including for farmworkers in Monterey County. Survey data associated with the Action Plan found that 89 percent of farmworker households were renters and 93 percent of farmworker households were overcrowded. According to data included in the City’s adopted Housing Element, there are 281 people employed in Agriculture and Resources in Monterey, significantly lower than the number of farmworkers countywide. A survey of 420 farmworkers found that the median annual income was below $25,000 and 80 of farmworkers live in the region year-round. Farmworkers are predominantly housed in the Salinas Valley, Watsonville, and Castroville near the agricultural fields. The Housing Authority of Monterey County operates 215 farm labor housing units to support the housing needs of farmworkers.

Persons with Drug/Alcohol Addictions
The 2022 Monterey County Health Need Assessment (CHNA) is a comprehensive report on the health needs in Monterey County. The CHNA reports on a number of factors related to alcohol and substance abuse. According to the CHNA, a total of 26 percent of adults in the County are excessive drinkers. The CHNA reports that 4.2 percent of adults in the Monterey Peninsula area, which includes the City of Monterey, have used an illicit drug in the past month (compared to 6.1 percent Countywide) and 16 percent of adults in the Monterey Peninsula area have used a prescription opioid in the past year (compared to 11 percent Countywide. Illicit drug and opioid use was highest among very low income and LGTBQ+ residents. Substance use has had a “great deal” of impact on 12 percent of the population in Monterey County. Among the County’s homeless population, 40 percent reported having a substance use disorder, according to the 2024 Homeless Point-In-Time Count and Survey.

Veterans
The 2019-2023 ACS estimated that 1,594 veterans resided in Monterey (7.3 percent of the civilian population over age 18). Approximately 29 percent had a disability and 5.9 percent were living below the poverty level. The 2024 Homeless Point-In-Time Count and Survey identified 146 veterans experiencing homelessness in the County, and 55 percent of these individuals were unsheltered.

What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
Elderly
Older people are more likely to have a fixed income, as well as ambulatory and independent living difficulties. This indicates a need for programs to assist with maintenance and repairs for lower income elderly homeowners, as well as programs to improve accessibility within owner and renter homes, and/or Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 65, Packet Page 68 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 54
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
provide supportive services such as home healthcare and transportation services. Specialized housing such as assisted living facilities or congregate care homes are also needs for this population, who may also require relocation assistance to move into these facilities or into homes that better accommodate their mobility needs.

The City has five Residential Care Facilities (Assisted Living Facilities) licensed through the State Department of Social Services. These facilities include:
• Carmelo Park: 40 beds
• Drake House – 55 beds
• Ivy Park – 112 beds
• Merrill Gardens – 150 beds
• The Park Lane – 160 beds
Persons with Disabilities
Ambulatory difficulties, cognitive difficulties, and independent living difficulties were the more prevalent disability types in Monterey. Disabled persons could benefit from special accommodations, adaptive equipment, or other features in their home. These individuals and their families would also benefit from a variety of supportive services including health care programs, respite care, special education services, independent living assistance, and transportation services.

Large Households
The large households in Monterey with low or extremely low incomes and a housing cost burden are all renter households, indicating a need for more affordable rental units that can accommodate larger households.

Single-Parent Households
Single-parent households typically have needs for affordable housing and quality childcare, as well as transportation services.

Victims of Domestic Violence
Victims of domestic violence often need transitional housing and other supportive services (such as legal, counseling, affordable childcare, and employment training) to help them leave the abusive environment and gain financial self-sufficiency. The Domestic Violence Coordinating Council of Monterey County improves coordination between agencies/departments/the courts to better service victims of domestic violence. The Council may establish procedures, conduct reviews, develop policies, and take all other actions necessary to further the board objectives of responsiveness to domestic violence and related issues.

Farmworkers

The Farmworker Housing Study and Action Plan for Salinas Valley and Pajaro Valley identified permanent housing for year-round farmworkers as the greatest need for this population.

Persons with Drug/Alcohol Addictions
Substance abuse services (such as rehabilitation) and prevention services are needed in conjunction with housing for people recovering from addiction.

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:

The City’s housing market is competitive and costly for many reasons. The limited availability of land with adequate utilities makes it expensive and infeasible for residential development. Restrictions on water due to limited water supply prevents residential development. To identify ways to develop, the City has identified underutilized sites with water credits and the location of these areas are mapped in the City’s specific plans.

Additionally, the City is viewed as a very desirable place to live due to the coastal environment and other fine amenities. In 2022, the median sale price was $997,500, up 8.8 percent from the previous year.

According to 2019-2023 ACS estimates, the median gross rent in Monterey was $2,288, ranging from $11,883 for an efficiency unit (no bedroom) to over $3,500 for a unit with three or more bedrooms.

According to the HUD FY 2024 Income Limits, the income limit for a Low Income four-person household earning less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) is $105,950. According to the most recent CHAS data (2016-2020) approximately 36 percent of Monterey households (4,415) qualify as low-tomoderate income based on HUD guidelines. Of the total occupied housing units in the City, 34 percent are owned units and 66 percent are rental, a possible result of the high price of purchasing a home in the City combined with other economic factors specific to the area, such as the jobs market. As discussed in the Needs Assessment, the data in this section also includes information about households by income as well as the number of renters and homeowners at various income levels.

MA-10 Number of Housing Units – 91.210(a)&(b)(2)
Introduction
The number of housing units in the City grew by two percent, from 13,382 in 2000 to 13,620 in 2020, as shown in Table 27. A majority of housing units in Monterey are single-family homes. Single-family detached units represent 44 percent and single-family attached units represent seven percent of the housing stock. Estimates from the 2019-2023 ACS indicate that there are 1,340 vacant units in the City.

However, 55 percent of vacant units were for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use. Due to the City’s short supply of rental housing, the City has placed a ban on short-term rentals.

California has required that all local governments (cities and counties) adequately plan to meet the housing needs of everyone in the community. The California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) oversees this process for all regions throughout the state. The Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) is the regional agency that prepares the Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) plan for jurisdictions of Monterey County.

An objective of the RHNA process is to ensure jurisdictions have the capacity to increase the housing supply and mix of housing types and affordability in an equitable manner. RHNA allocates a share of units that are affordable to households that are very low, low, moderate, and above moderate so that each jurisdiction is required to accommodate, through zoning, permits for this type of development. For the 2023 to 2031 RHNA, the City was allocated 1,177 very low, 769 low, 462 moderate, and 1,246 above moderate for a total of 3,654 housing unit allocation. As of the adoption of the Housing Element, the City had 491 housing units in the pipeline, including 108 lower and moderate income units and 383 above moderate income units.

Overall, the City is primarily a renter community. Specifically, 34.2 percent of units are owner occupied, whereas 65.8 percent are renters. The high number of renters in the City indicates the high price of homeownership.

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

Traditionally, the City has targeted direct federal, state and local program assistance toward the development of very low-, low- and moderate-income households. Assistance has consisted of the provision of land, reduced interest rate loans, and rehabilitation grants. During the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan cycle, the City continued to fund home rehabilitation projects through its Housing Preservation Programs. These included the Mr. Fix-It Grant which provided small grants to low-income households to make minor repairs, the Home Safety Grant which provided small grants to low-income households to make emergency health and safety repairs, and the Home Accessibility Grant which provided small grants to low income households to make accessibility improvements for disabled family members. In FY 2023-2024, the City successfully administered and completed rehabilitation projects for five (5) low-income households through the Housing Preservation Program grants. The City managed low income housing apartments including Casa De Estrella; monitored approximately 113 market rate and deed restricted affordable rental and ownership housing units; and entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with MidPen Housing for the development of a 100 percent affordable housing project to feature 36 units behind City Hall between Madison Street, Van Buren Street, and Dutra Street.

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

There are 141 total affordable deed restricted units in the City. As shown in Table 29, most affordable units are for the elderly population (108 senior units). None of the affordable units in the City are expected to convert to market-rate rents during under this 2025-2029 Consolidate Plan period.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? The inventory of very low and low-income housing is not sufficient to meet the needs of the community’s low-income or below residents. The vacancy rate in the City is 3.9 percent according to recent ACS estimates.. Constraints on the development of new housing due to lack of water and land create severely limited development of new units, including market rate units in the City. Together these factors limit the total supply of housing and this lack of supply creates upward pressure on rents.

As discussed above, City’s housing market is primarily rental. As shown in Table 30, the median rent in the City is $1,777. As presented in Table 32, there are 2,225 rental units and 150 ownership units affordable to lower and moderate income households in Monterey. As discussed above, the number of affordable units is not adequate to serve the 5,825 households in Monterey earning less than 100 percent of the AMI. Furthermore, units affordable to a particular income group may not be actually occupied by households in that income group.

There is a total of 13,760 total housing units in the City with an average of 2.04 persons per owner occupied unit and 2.17 persons per renter occupied unit, according to the 2019-2023 ACS. The population during this time period is 29,772, an increase from 27,939, or 6.6 percent, since the 2009-2013 ACS estimates. As mentioned, housing units have increased by only two percent between 2000 and 2020.

Cost burden can be an indication of a need for more affordable housing. As discussed in the Needs Assessment, overall, 45 percent of households are cost burdened. Renters are more likely to be affected by cost burden. There are approximately 2,935 low income cost burdened renters compared to only 729 lower income cost burdened owners.

Findings show an indication of crowding as a response to housing costs for households. The 2019-2023 ACS indicates that less than one percent of owner-occupied households are overcrowded compared to

6.7 percent of renter-occupied households, including 4.4 percent that are severely overcrowded. There are no severely overcrowded owner households in the City.

Describe the need for specific types of housing:

Based upon the results of the Community Survey, respondents identified affordable rental housing and low income homeowner rehabilitation needs as the highest housing priorities. Housing for seniors and emergency housing for the homeless population were identified as the most important special housing needs.

Generally, the priority housing needs identified are affordable rental units, housing for seniors, and housing for the disabled. Additionally, respondents identified the City needs homeless shelters and permanent supportive housing for the homeless, housing for people that work in Monterey, and moderate-income workforce housing for police, teachers, firemen, and city workers.

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction
As discussed in the overview, because there is no water for new development, residential development is challenging, creating a lack of housing and a resulting strong demand for housing and an expensive housing market. Additionally, the City continues to be a very desirable for renters and homebuyers.

The median price of buying a home in the City increased from $628,500 in 2009 to $813,600 in 2020, as shown in Table 30. In January 2025, the Monterey County Association of Realtors reported that the median single-family home cost in Monterey County was $939,000, up 17 percent from the median in January 2024. The Monterey County Association of Realtors also reported that the median condo/townhome cost was $660,000 in January 2025, down eight percent from the previous year.

Fair Market Rents established by HUD tend to be exceeded by the real cost of rental housing in the City.

As discussed, the City’s desirability as a place to live due to the coastal environment and amenities combined with a severe lack of developable land keeps the cost of housing too costly for low- to moderate-income households.

According to HUD’s income limits for fiscal year 2024, the median family income of a family of four is $103,200 for the Salinas Metropolitan Statistical Area. The affordable monthly cost of housing for a household earning the median family income (for a family of four) is approximately $2,580. The actual market costs exceed this amount. According to the 2019-2023 ACS, the median gross rent for a threebedroom unit or larger exceeds $3,500, making the City unaffordable to a household earning the median family income.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? As illustrated in Table 32, affordable units are needed across all income categories for which data is available. According to 2016-2020 CHAS data, there are 1,185 households earning less than 30 percent of the AMI while only 160 units are affordable to households in this income range. Similarly, there are 1,150 households earning between 30 and 50 percent of the AMI but only 585 units affordable to this group.

How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
As discussed in the overview, because there is no water for new development, the area is expensive and infeasible for substantial residential development. Additionally, the City continues to be a very desirable place to live. According to the ACS data presented in Table 30, the median home sale price has increased by 29 percent since 2009. Rental prices have also increased during this period. As housing development continues to be constrained by land availability and utility access, housing prices may continue to increase as the housing supply fails to keep up with a growing population.

How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? According to the most recent 2019-2023 ACS data on median rent, median gross rental prices in Monterey are generally lower or comparable to HUD Fair Market Rents. For example, the ACS reported that the median gross rent for an efficiency unit was $1,883, compared to HUD’s Fair Market Rent of $2,340.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
following shows the median gross rental prices reported by the ACS to be compared to the HUD Fair Market Rents shown in Table 33:
• No bedroom -- $1,883
• One bedroom -- $1,884
• Two bedrooms – $2,332
• Three bedrooms -- $3,500+
• Four bedrooms -- $3,500+
• Five bedrooms -- $3,500+
Discussion
The cost of buying a home in the City has increased substantially by 29 percent. Purchasing a home in the City is out of reach of many households. Renting may be the only option and contributes to the high number of renter tenured households in the City. Renting is also a challenge for many households in the City.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
According to the City’s 2023-2032 Housing Element, there are approximately 880 housing units experiencing serious deterioration, 2,140 in decline, and 4,830 will require maintenance, though not immediately urgent. Aging housing stock and homeowners unable to afford repairs contribute to housing unit decline. Approximately 75 percent of all units in the City built before 1979 could potentially contain lead-based paint. Housing constructed prior to 1979 is likely to contain lead-based paint, which must be addressed before Federal programs can fund rehabilitation to such units.

Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation":

The accepted standard for major rehabilitation is after 50 years. Approximately 73 percent of the City’s housing stock was built in 1979 or earlier. Lead-based paint and asbestos remediation are two critical concerns that identify housing as substandard in the community.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
Renters experience unsuitable housing conditions more often than owner households. Of those with selected conditions, 53 percent of renters experienced one selected condition and four percent experienced two selected conditions. In comparison, only 32 percent of owners experience one selected condition. There were no owner-occupied households that experienced more than one selected condition. Additionally, most of the older housing stock, built before 1980, is occupied by renters. In general though, more housing is occupied by renters in the City.

Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards
As mentioned, the proportion of older housing units in the City is slightly higher than in the County as a whole, about 73 percent of all units in the City were built before 1980. The City’s rehabilitation project protocols account for lead-based paint testing (LBP) and remediation. LBP testing protocols will be followed, and remediation required in compliance with requirements for any CDBG funded rehabilitation project.

The City’s experience in past years, in combination with the City’s aging population, suggests that most low-income owner-occupied housing units that will qualify for rehabilitation will be occupied by seniors and/or frail elderly. Rehabilitation assistance to preserve existing low-income rental housing is also a need. Rental housing provides most of the affordable housing in the community.

Discussion
The most significantly negative housing conditions in the City are related to the age of housing units and the cost of rehabilitation.

MA-25 Public and Assisted Housing – 91.210(b)
Introduction
The Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) provides rental assistance and manages affordable housing throughout Monterey County. The HACM no longer owns public housing. HACM administers Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8). The City of Monterey’s allocation is a total of 364 vouchers (8.2% of the total vouchers available in the County), including 79 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Vouchers, 27 Emergency Housing Vouchers, 2 Family Unification Vouchers, 5 Mainstream Vouchers, 209 other tenant-based vouchers, and 34 Project Based Vouchers. The City will continue to coordinate with HACM as the regional housing authority and public housing provider whenever possible.

Estimates outlined in this narrative are based on the most recent 2025 data provided by HACM. Therefore, HCV estimates described in this section may not align with estimates in Table 22.

HACM has converted all its public housing units to Project-Based Rental Assistance. Currently there are 177 assisted housing units in the City of Monterey. These units are in ten separate projects:
• Portola Vista at 20 Del Monte Avenue – 64 units
• Montecito Apartments at 242 Montecito Street – 8 units • Watson Apartments at 531 Watson Street – 5 units
• Casanova Plaza at 800 Casanova Ave – 17 units
Of the total inventory of HACM assisted housing in the City, 64 of the units are for seniors and/or disabled persons, 30 units are for families. • MIDPEN: Van Buren Senior Housing at 669 Van Buren Street – 18 units • CHISPA: El Estero Senior Housing at 151 Park Avenue – 26 units • INTERIM, INC.: Casa de Los Robles at 504 W. Franklin Street – 6 units • INTERIM, INC.: Dela Vina Apartments at 345 Dela Vina Avenue – 14 units • INTERIM, INC.: Casa de Perla at 608 Pearl St – 8 units • INTERIM, INC.: Pearl St Apartments at 604 and 606 Pearl St – 11 units Of the total inventory of assisted housing in the City, 108 of the units are for seniors and/or disabled persons, 39 units are for special needs, and 30 units are for families.

As of March 2025, 4,091 households were on the Housing Choice Voucher waiting list; the number of families on the waiting list for public housing far exceeds current capacity, resulting in long wait periods.

As described in the succeeding section, the HACM is represented on the Boards for the Community Alliance for Safety and Peace, Children’s Council for Monterey County, Coalition of Homeless Service Providers and the Leadership Council for the Continuum of Care. HACM also participates as a board member in the Housing Alliance for Persons with Disabilities to further the development of accessible units in the region.

Describe the supply of public housing developments:

As previously discussed, HACM has converted public housing properties to project based assisted and Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) units. RAD is a tool to preserve and improve public housing properties and address a backlog of deferred maintenance. Public stewardship of properties is maintained through the ongoing ownership by a public or non-profit entity. The RAD program shifts funds from public housing to make more Section 8 vouchers available.

Describe the number and physical condition of public housing units in the jurisdiction, including those that are participating in an approved Public Housing Agency Plan:

As mentioned above, the HACM no longer owns public housing and nor is information supplied on the condition of units that are formerly public housing. However, RAD gives owners of RAD converted units (formerly public housing units) three HUD "legacy" programs (Rent Supplement, Rental Assistance Payment, and Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation), offering them the opportunity to enter into long-term contracts that facilitate the financing of improvements to housing units.

Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderate-income families residing in public housing:

The HACM is represented on the Boards for the Community Alliance for Safety and Peace, Children’s Council for Monterey County, Coalition of Homeless Service Providers and the Leadership Council for the Continuum of Care.

In addition, HACM coordinates activities with public service providers to serve populations and households with special needs including the elderly and disabled. HACM also collaborates with non-profit organizations and local governments in the County on specialized vouchers, for example, Voucher for Family Unification. HACM also has transitional housing programs for homeless families that are recovering from alcohol or drug abuse.

HACM assists HCV users or households in need in other ways including using marketing strategies to reach out to low income and special needs populations; HACM ensures compliance with reasonable accommodation to disabled households; and works to make HCVs portable so that HCV users can move to areas of opportunity and avoid concentrations of poverty.

Discussion:

Though the HACM no longer owns public housing, the City will continue to coordinate with HACM as the regional housing authority in the administration of rental assistance at RAD and project-based housing properties, as well as the Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8).

Introduction
According to the 2024 Monterey Point-In-Time (PIT) Count, there are 2,436 persons experiencing homelessness countywide, including 1,883 unsheltered individuals and 553 sheltered individuals. The homeless population countywide has increased slightly from 2,422 in 2019 and 2,047 in 2022. In the City of Monterey, there are 221 persons experiencing homelessness, including 141 unsheltered individuals and 80 sheltered individuals. The homeless population in the City represents 9.1 percent of the homeless population countywide. The unhoused population in the City has increased significantly since the 2022 PIT Count, which identified only 101 unhoused residents, an increase of 119 percent during this period. When looking at the population from the 2023 5-year ACS estimates, the City has a higher per capita of people experiencing homelessness than the County (0.74 in the City versus 0.55 Countywide) Facilities and Housing Targeted to Homeless Households

List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, 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 specifically address the needs of these populations.

As discussed above, there were 2,436 unhoused individuals identified countywide during the 2024 PIT count, an increase of 19 percent from the 2022 PIT count. The homeless population in the City of Monterey also increased significantly during this period. In 2022, 101 unhoused individuals were identified in the City compared to 221 in 2024, an increase of 119 percent. A larger proportion of homeless individuals in the City were unsheltered (141 unsheltered and 80 sheltered).

An ongoing homeless assistance strategy has been the provision of financial assistance for community organizations that provide services that connect both those at risk of becoming homeless and currently homeless to housing, shelter, and other services. Community organizations that were assisted in this Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 89, Packet Page 92 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 78
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
manner include Community Human Services, Interim, Inc., the Salvation Army, and Gathering for Women.

These organizations provide sheltered bed at night, outreach, case management, counseling, and other support services. Through the City’s continued CDBG funding to these organizations, services and outreach are directed to those at risk of becoming homeless or are experiencing homelessness.

Additionally, the City continues to fund the Veterans Transition Center (VTC) in rehabilitating existing uninhabitable units on land owned by VTC to provide 18 permanent supportive housing units in the City of Marina for homeless veterans and their families.

The City funded subrecipients through CDBG during the 2020-2024 Consolidated Planning cycle that serve homeless and at-risk persons in different ways. Agencies funded during this period included Alliance on Aging, Community Human Services Casa De Noche Buena, Community Human Services Safe Place, Community Human Services Shuman HeartHouse, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) Fair Housing Support Services, Food Bank of Monterey County, Gathering for Women, Interim, Inc., Josephine Kernes Memorial Pool, Legal Services for Seniors, and Meals on Wheels.

The City will continue to allocate CDBG public service funds to community service organizations providing direct services to the homeless. Specifically, public services funding has been provided to Interim Inc., Community Human Services (CHS), and Salvation Army for programs that offer emergency overnight shelter, counseling and outreach. The City has also supported Gathering for Women that provides services, including case management and referrals to shelters, to women experiencing homelessness.

CHS and Gathering for Women, received funding from the Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) that was used to build shelter in the City of Seaside, Casa de Noche Buena, which serves the entire peninsula.

The City will continue to support agencies and explore opportunities for additional homeless response and services. The City is fully prepared to continue to cooperate and coordinate with other jurisdictions and public service organizations to address the homeless need in the community.

Since 2013, the City has participated in the Coalition of Homeless Services Providers (CHSP) (lead agency for the Continuum of Care in Monterey County) Leadership Council’s oversight of the “Lead Me Home” plan. Representatives from Monterey County Behavioral Services, Monterey County Social and Employment Services, and Natividad Hospital are other participants in the Coalition’s plan for addressing homelessness. The CHSP’s plan includes strategies for enhancing and formalizing existing processes to facilitate transition from institutions through the development of effective and universal discharge policies.

Objectives and priorities for addressing homelessness in the Lead Me Home plan are, and will continue to be, incorporated into the City’s Consolidated Plan. Additionally, the Coalition works closely in coordination with the CDBG subrecipients receiving allocations listed in the City’s plan: Community Human Services’ program, Safe Place in Monterey, that provides counseling, family reunification, temporary shelter and street outreach for homeless youth; Interim Inc. that provides homeless services, emergency and temporary housing outreach, and case management for persons with mental illnesses; the Salvation Army Homeless Support Services that provides case management, voucher assistance, and homeless outreach Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 90, Packet Page 93 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 79

services; and the Veterans Transition Center that provides services for homeless Veterans and their families.

Additionally, Interim, Inc. added a second crisis residential facility in the City, Manzanita Monterey, which opened July of 2018. Interim’s Manzanita Monterey provides short-term residential services to stabilize persons experiencing a mental health crisis so that they may return to independent living. The new facility has a 13-bed capacity and is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Manzanita residential programs accept clients based on referrals from the Monterey County Behavioral Health Bureau.

The City has continued to support service organizations that assist the homeless and populations at risk of homelessness with CDBG funding.

The Veterans Transition Center (VTC) provides services for homeless veterans and their families by providing veterans with transitional housing and case management programs to assist them in becoming employable and avoid homelessness. The City assisted VTC in PY 2018 by allocating public facility grant funding for the rehabilitation of three uninhabitable duplexes at Hayes Circle providing 18 units of permanent supportive housing in the City of Marina for homeless veterans and their families. In PY 2017, VTC also received grants for rehabilitating four transitional housing units and provided eight beds for homeless veterans and families.

In addition to VTC, Interim, Inc. provides wellness programs, affordable supportive housing, crisis residential services, homeless services, employment and education services, and consumer empowerment and outreach. In PY 2016, Interim, Inc. received funding for a project that converted a facility to a 13-bed short-term care crisis center to accommodate homeless or low-income individuals with mental illness.

Community Human Services (CHS) continues to be supported through the City’s CDBG program. CHS addresses underlying conditions or root causes of personal, family, and community problems, whether it’s addiction, domestic violence, mental illness, emotional health, homelessness, child abuse, or any number of problems that people have trouble solving on their own. Also, CHS provides temporary shelter and street outreach for homeless youth.

The Salvation Army of Monterey County has been a subrecipient of the City’s CDBGprogram. The Salvation Army provides case management services, rental and utility assistance, drug and alcohol treatment services, food, showers, laundry, day laborer services, phone and fax services, and lockers. The Salvation Army Monterey Peninsula Corps also partners with Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP) to create housing plans and provide temporary shelter for homeless individuals.

Gathering for Women provides food, free clothing, emergency assistance, connects homeless residents to health, mental health, and other service providers, as well as to housing providers that can screen and place homeless residents into permanent housing.

In addition to those previously mentioned, the City provided grants to service organizations that included the Monterey Food Bank, Legal Services for Seniors, Meals on Wheels for seniors and the disabled, Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 91, Packet Page 94 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 80

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d) Introduction
There is careful coordination among health providers when discharging patients from medical and mental health treatment. Interim, Inc. works in partnership with Monterey County Behavioral Health Department to prevent discharge into homelessness; Monterey County Children’s Health Outreach for Insurance, Care and Enrollment (MC-CHOICE) Program provides discharge-planning activities for homeless individuals with mental illness but does not have the capacity to provide these services to all clients.

Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs
Vulnerable populations, including elderly, medically frail, or those in recovery, often require additional supportive services to sustain their housing and possibly avoid the deterioration of their circumstances.

For those with mental illness or who are elderly, assistance with reminders to pay rent, take medicine, go to appointments, or comprehending the rights and responsibilities outlined in a lease can be the difference of being housed versus homeless.

Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
Per the Discharge Plan of Monterey and San Benito Counties, social workers in health institutions, like hospitals, will administer Coordinated Assessment and Referral System (CARS) assessments and input clients into the local CoC coordinated entry queue. Upon entry onto the master list, the CoC will start directly working with clients to locate appropriate housing interventions through a network of providers in the region.

There is careful coordination among health providers when discharging patients from medical and mental health treatment. Central Coast HIV/AIDS Services work in partnership with the Outpatient Immunology Services (OPIS) Clinic at Community Hospital and the Natividad Immunology Division Outpatient (NIDO) Clinic at Natividad Medical Center to create housing plans for homeless individuals with HIV/AIDS; the Salvation Army Monterey Peninsula Corps works in partnership with Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP) to create housing plans and provide temporary shelter for homeless individuals.

Further, Interim, Inc. works in partnership with Monterey County Behavioral Health Department to prevent discharge into homelessness; MCHOME provides discharge-planning activities for homeless individuals with mental illness but does not have the capacity to provide these services to all clients. When there is available space, Interim’s Manzanita House provides short-term crisis services as well as emergency placement.

to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals.

91.315(e)
The activities the City plans to undertake during the next year to address housing and supportive services for the special needs population are:
• Continue support for the development of affordable rental housing through the City’s Density Bonus Ordinance that is consistent with State density bonus law and the recently adopted Local Density Bonus adopted by City Council in December 2024. The Local Density Bonus establishes an additional density bonus and development incentives for qualifying projects. The local development bonus will target projects that consolidate small, adjacent lots and/or develop higher proportions of 2- and 3-bedroom units. Projects that commit to additional ModerateIncome units over and above those units required under the City’s Inclusionary Zoning Program would also qualify. Inclusionary zoning has increased the number of affordable units in development applications (i.e. 300 Cannery Row and the Garden Road Rezone which is under preliminary review for multi-family projects). The City is working towards adopting of a congregational overlay and associated development standards that permit residential development at up to 30 dwelling units per acre by-right on properties owned by religious institutions where affordable housing is proposed (consistent with Government Code section 65583.2 (h) and (i)). The City has identified opportunities for redevelopment of surplus municipal parking facilities to increase workforce housing (e.g., Surplus Municipal Parking Facilities: Lot 14 parking lot on Bonifacio Pl & Adams St and the Calle Principal Garage on Calle Principal near Bonifacio Pl). The City plans to adopt zoning incentives for deed restricted ADUs and JADUs to help meet the needs of lower income seniors and people who work in Monterey earning less than 80 percent of the Monterey County annual median income through a binding contract to rentrestrict. • Continue to provide housing rehabilitation grants and loans to assist low-income senior and disabled households to remain in their homes;
• Determining the funding strategies to develop new Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI) rental housing units with an emphasis on units for Extremely Low-Income, Very Low-Income and LowIncome individuals and households; • Support emergency rental assistance and the fair housing service provider to allow households experiencing financial emergencies to remain in their homes; • Support, through grant funding, non-profit community service organizations to address the supportive services needs of LMI individuals, including families, elderly and disabled; and • Continue to coordinate and collaborate with the local Continuum of Care organizations.

For entitlement/consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. (91.220(2))

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment A potential barrier to housing opportunities can be related to public policies. Such policies include tax policy, land use controls, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limits, and other policies that affect the return on residential investment. Amending local zoning and land use laws or allocating funding for affordable housing through grants are mechanisms that can support the development of affordable units. Changes in policies can also help a community to overcome disparities in access to opportunity by the implementation of plans that will revitalize areas with existing affordable housing by improving services, schools and other community assets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure.

Policies to guide future development and achieve a vision for the community are contained in the City’s General Plan. Two of the seven State mandated General Plan elements—Housing and Land Use Elements—have direct impact on the local housing market in terms of the amount and range of housing choice. The Zoning Ordinance, which implements the Land Use Element, is an important document that influences the amount and type of housing available in a community—the availability of housing choice.

A Housing Element that complies with State law is presumed to have adequately addressed its policy constraints. According to HCD, as of October 4, 2024, the City of Monterey’s 2023-2031 Housing Element was found to be in compliance.

Specific to the City, a primary barrier continues to be a shortage of developable land with adequate utilities. A limited availability of land without utilities makes it expensive and infeasible for an affordable residential development. There is no water for new development. Due to limited regional water supply, residential development is prevented. All of the City’s water supply has already been allocated to projects.

However, some existing properties have water credits that can be allocated to new housing development.

The City has also identified underutilized sites with water credits and the location of these areas are mapped in the City’s specific plans.

Other factors make residential development a challenge, such as land feasible for development due to financing.

The City’s policies allow for the following types of housing for low income and special needs populations:
• Emergency shelters
• Accessory Dwelling Unit
• Transitional Housing
• Supportive Housing
• Residential Care Facilities
• Single Room Occupancy
• Reasonable Accommodation

MA-45 Non-Housing Community Development Assets – 91.215 (f) Introduction
The City has qualities that are unique, making for a distinctive local economy. The City is rich in cultural resources because of its historically significant sites, such as the Cannery Row. It is also endowed with natural resources, which includes the marine sanctuary, a location of intense scientific research. The City is also considered the "Language Capital of the World", because the Monterey Institute of International Studies and the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center are located in the City. Both cultural and natural resources in the City attract visitors and a professional workforce—two economic drivers in the City. Services related to tourism host the most jobs.

Monterey has a highly educated workforce; 59 percent of residents of all ages have an Associates’ degree or higher (Table 46). The City has large assets in terms of human resources and knowledge, and business parks, and infrastructure that attract visitors and workers alike.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction?
Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 100, Packet Page 103 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 89
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
According to the 2016-2020 ACS (Workers), 2020 Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (Jobs) data, the major employment sectors in the City are:

1. Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations

2. Education and Health Care Services

3. Retail Trade

4. Professional, Scientific, Management Services
There are more workers than jobs in both the Retail Trade sector. There are more jobs than workers in the other major sectors listed above.

Monterey is characterized by a large proportion of workers that are not from the local workforce. There could be several contributing factors to the low percentage of local workers filling the top business sectors. First, there may be a lack of jobs in other parts of the region. The second factor could be caused by a local work force lacking the skills needed for local jobs in top sectors. Third, there is a lack of affordable housing due to the high cost of housing. Studies show that most workers in areas with expensive housing markets experience the longest commute times.1 Additionally, low- to moderateincome households experience the most stress from housing costs in expensive housing markets, potentially driving them to live far from job markets.

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:

The City is unique in several ways. The City is an extremely popular tourist destination, attracting an estimated four million visitors to the area each year. The tourist industry in the City requires accommodation services, the top business sector in the City. The tourist industry requires soft skills, for example, skills in customer service, working flexible hours. The data shows that there are more jobs available in the accommodations services sector than there are workers (see Table 41).

The City is home to 16 research centers and many educational institutions, particularly ocean marine science, which results in a population that is more educated than the average American city. In addition, the Monterey Peninsula has a wealth of natural resources including a Marine Sanctuary, proximity to Fort Ord National Monument, Big Sur, and Pinnacles National Park, which will require development of new jobs related to eco-tourism and continued need of jobs in the future.

The total population of the City of Monterey is 29,772, according to the 2019-2023 American Community Survey. As shown in Table 42, there are 14,085 people in the civilian labor force, including 13,550 employed people aged 16 and older. The unemployment rate in Monterey is 3.7 percent. As discussed above, most of the labor force is employed in the Arts, Entertainment, and Accommodations sector (27 percent of workers), Education and Health Care Services sector (18 percent of workers), Professional, Scientific, Retail Trade sector (11 percent of workers), and Management Services sector (nine percent of workers). Other sectors employing the workforce include Construction (five percent of workers), Other 1 Cost, crowding, or commuting?

Services (five percent of workers), Agriculture, Mining, Oil and Gas Extraction (four percent of workers), Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate (four percent of workers), and Manufacturing (four percent of workers).

Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.

As mentioned above, the Monterey Peninsula has a wealth of natural resources Marine Sanctuary, proximity to Fort Ord National Monument, Big Sur, and Pinnacles National Park, which will require the development of new jobs and a continued need of jobs in the future.

As for tourism, the Cannery Row area is a major tourist destination because of the Monterey Bay Aquarium along with the numerous hotels, restaurants, art galleries and gift stores, that have created a wide variety of shopping and entertainment opportunities.

Additionally, many specific plans related to economic development have been adopted. • The Downtown Specific Plan - adopted in October 2013 and amended in September 2015, October 2016, April 2017, December 2019, May 2020, December 2021, May 2022, July 2023, September 2024, and December 2024 - envisions improvement to Downtown Monterey, the economic hub of the City, by improving transit networks to attract visitors to retail and amenities and will encourage mixed-use and economic development.
• Lighthouse Specific Plan - adopted November 2016 and amended in September 2016, October 2016, November 2016, December 2021, May 2022, July 2023, and December 2024 - brings revitalization to the corridors connecting New Monterey to Downtown Monterey. • Fort Ord Property Development – The City will ultimately integrate new housing on former the Former Fort Ord Military Base. The City will prepare a specific plan to establish a clear vision for the area and to guide future development and conservation, identify infrastructure needs and financing mechanisms, and establish measures to ensure sustainable development and adequate resource protection. The overarching objective will be to foster the creation of a mixed-use village on a portion of the site to provide housing, jobs,schools,shops,services, and recreation for future residents while also preserving carefully selected area of open space and habitat. • North Fremont Specific Plan - amended in August 2016, October 2016, December 2023, and December 2024 - has the goal of creating a pedestrian environment amongst both residential and new retail and services that would create new jobs.
• Move Monterey Multimodal Plan – adopted in September 2021 - the Plan aims to improve pedestrian circulation citywide, expand the 2009 Bicycle Transportation Plan, ensure the plan serves the diverse needs of the community while contributing to economic growth, ensure the plan supports local, regional, and State goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and engage all relevant stakeholders in the planning process including those who are traditionally underrepresented.

• 2023-31 Housing Element – the Sixth Cycle Housing Element was adopted on July 16, 2024 and certified by HCD October 4, 2024. The Housing Element was prepared to respond to current and near-term future housing needs in the City of Monterey and provide a framework for the community’s longer-term approach to addressing its housing needs. The Housing Action Plan of the Element articulates goals, policies, and programs to address the City’s identified housing needs, including those ofspecial needs groups and the findings of an analysis of fair housing issues in the community. Fifty-three housing programs have been identified for implementation during this cycle.

Downtown Specific Plan
Another low- to moderate- income block group is in Downtown Monterey, which is within a commercial area. The area is zoned Planned Community. The Downtown Specific Plan - adopted in October 2013 and last amended in December 2024, envisions improvements to Downtown Monterey, the economic hub of the City, by improving transit networks to attract visitors to retail and amenities and will encourage mixeduse and economic development. Recent developments include a museum, restaurants, meeting space, and other commercial uses. Downtown is also the site of the Master Plan for the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. Other uses include restaurants, hotels, the Monterey Sports Center, Trader Joes, Alvarado Street Brewery, Monterey State Historic Park Office, and the San Carlos Cathedral.

Lighthouse Specific Plan
The Lighthouse Specific Plan was adopted in November 2016 and last amended in December 2024 and refers to the Lighthouse Avenue and Foam Street corridors area. This area is within a low- to moderate Income block group. The vision of the Lighthouse Area Specific Plan is to create a livable community, and a revitalized destination point on Lighthouse Avenue and Foam Street for residents and visitors. It will provide guidance for the development of transit-oriented, mixed-use development along the Lighthouse Avenue and Foam Street corridors. The Plan includes goals related to transportation, parking, business types, housing, and design. While all goals are relevant to economic development in the Plan area, goals related to business types specifically include encouraging improved new and existing neighborhoodserving businesses and allowing temporary uses to locate in vacant spaces.

North Fremont Specific Plan
A block group that is considered a low- to moderate- income area is located in the eastern portion of the City between the North Fremont Street commercial corridor and Highway 1; the area is zoned Planned Community and Visitor Accommodate and Facility. During the 2025 to 2029 Consolidated Plan period these areas will be the locations of CDBG targeted funding for infrastructure improvements. However, under the City’s North Fremont Specific Plan, the City envisions the development of a mixed use corridor along North Fremont to serve the neighborhood as well as visitors. Possible uses are for retail, services, and new jobs, as well as new residential development. Current uses there include Montecito Park, Monterey Fire Department, Walmart, Big Five sporting goods, a Dollar Tree, hotels, CVS Pharmacy, and economy restaurants and hotels.

The North Fremont Specific Plan area includes underutilized lots. Because most of the City’s residential districts are built out and the City has a limited water supply, most of the City’s recent affordable housing development has resulted from the redevelopment of underutilized sites in the commercial neighborhoods where high water uses are replaced with mixed use projects.

Redevelopment sites in the North Fremont Specific Plan area that were identified as feasible for redevelopment have the following features:
• Common ownership patterns
• Underdeveloped sites
• Existing host for uses with water
Move Monterey Multimodal Plan
The City’s Multi-Modal Transportation Plan was adopted in September 2021 and represents a citywide effort to support and promote alternative modes of transportation such as bicycling, walking and transit.

As stated in the Plan, visitors are an important driver of the local economy. Events bring unique and temporary transportation challenges and opportunities.

Current Projects
The following projects are currently proposed or underway and will contribute to economic development in the City:
• 449 Alvarado Street – Construct a four-story mixed-use building with 34 new apartment units and 2,376 square feet of retail space.

Other projects that would encourage job growth include renewed investment in the Del Monte Center, a regional shopping center with more than 70 businesses including retail and services. The Del Monte Center was purchased in 2024 by Federal Reality Investment Trust, a company that will expand the opportunities already at the Del Monte Center. Furthermore, the new owner has expertise creating urban, mixed-use neighborhoods such as Santa Row in San Jose, which could serve Monterey well in the near future. Heritage Harbor located on Monterey's Downtown Waterfront that provides development opportunities for professional and service-based businesses.

How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
According to the data in Table 46, of persons over age 18, 83 percent possess some college education or higher. Table 45 also shows that most of the labor force has a Bachelor’s degree or higher. The unemployment rate amongst those with less than a high school diploma is higher (7.8 percent) compared to high school graduates (1.4 percent), those with some college or an Associate’s degree (1.7 percent), and those with a Bachelor’s degree or higher (2.5 percent). Overall, the City has an unemployment rate of 3.7 percent and only 1.8 percent for persons aged 25 to 65.

Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.

The Monterey County Workforce Development Board (WDB) integrates private and public partners to train and place individuals with the skills that employers need. Through their America’s Job Center of California SM service sites in Monterey County located in Salinas, Marina, and Greenfield, job seekers connect to the services, resources, and labor market information they need to prepare for middle-skill jobs in growing industry sectors such as Agriculture, Tourism and Hospitality, Health and Social Assistance, Logistics and Transportation, and Construction. The job center connects job seekers to valuable services that include the use of resource room and computers, job search skills workshops, information on training and education, referrals to partner agencies and community resources and labor market information on growth industries in Monterey County.

The WDB also assists adult and dislocated (displaced) workers. The Adult Program’s emphasis is on serving a wide range of individuals. The program provides adult individuals with workforce preparation, career services, training services, and job placement assistance needed to increase occupational skill attainment, obtain industry-recognized credentials, and secure a good job that provides earnings that lead to selfsufficiency. The program serves individuals and helps employers meet their workforce needs.

The WDB also collaborates with schools and businesses to prepare youth for the workforce. Services include the following:
• Access to Resource Room/Equipment (computers, printer, fax machine) • Assessment of skills and abilities
• Career guidance, counseling and planning
• Development of employment plans and strategies
• Individual and group counseling
• Job fair, job listings, and recruitment information
• Job search, referrals and placement assistance
• Labor market research and information
• Mentorship and leadership development services
• Networking groups
• Information and referral to partner services and community resources • Self-service job search through the CalJOBS system:
• Skills upgrade, classroom & on-the-job training (as needed) • Tutoring, study skills training and instruction
• Work experience - paid and unpaid (youth)
• Workshops (Job Search, Resume, Interview, Networking) • Youth employment services
The City supports the Monterey Bay Economic Partnership (MBEP), which has over 80 members that are the largest employers in the region. MBEP has several initiatives to boost workforce and economic development regionally, including:
• Addressing climate change and its impact on workforce development • Increasing quality of life through improvements in transportation • Affordable housing
• Helping local businesses hire local talent and providing resources to residents • Developing a technology “ecosystem” in the Monterey Bay Region Members of MBEP are from various industries, primarily from agriculture, banking and finance, building development and construction, local governments and public agencies, education, and several non-profit organizations. MBEP considers workforce development critical in ensuring workers have the skills necessary to obtain jobs with these employers. The goal of MBEP is to source the workforce from the local population.

Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 106, Packet Page 109 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 95
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In general, for the modern workforce, there is a need for more mechanic and maintenance positions to have more computer/electrical maintenance skills due to increased automation of processes and increased data collection demands. Additionally, general labor positions, not just in distribution centers/warehouses but in retail and other entry level positions, are increasingly demanding a broader understanding of basic computer skills as many involve interfacing with robotics and handheld computer devices.

The City of Monterey is in Monterey County where agriculture is the primary industry. Monterey County is also within the Central Coast of California. A recent study from the Brookings Institute indicates that automation is a threat to inland California workers primarily due to higher concentrations of lower skilled/wage occupations and lower educational attainment. In response, efforts should be made to assist potentially displaced workers in acquiring the skills to operate and maintain these types of technology.

Efforts must also be made to assist displaced workers to create their own small businesses or become entrepreneurs.

The study gives several recommendations on how to adjust for these upcoming changes, including:

1. Investing in reskilling incumbent workers though continuous input from industry to ensure training keeps up with changing demands

2. Making skill development more financially accessible, for example through high school and college coursework, internships and job shadowing, apprenticeship programs

3. Aligning and expanding traditional education

4. Maximize hiring through a subsidized employment program

5. Embracing transformative technology to power growth especially through needed support from corporate businesses
Additionally, several outreach meetings are held in Monterey County to promote employment such as Prison to Employment Initiative and the Prison to Employment and Regional Plan. The outreach is in support of the Prison to Employment Initiative, a grant program that included in the Governor’s 2018 Budget proposal and includes $37 million over three budget years for the integration of workforce and reentry services in the state’s 14 labor regions. The goal is to improve labor market outcomes by creating a systemic and ongoing partnership between rehabilitative programs within California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the state workforce system by bringing CDCR under the policy umbrella of the State Workforce Plan.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
Low- and moderate-income households are most impacted by housing problems in Monterey. The City defines an area of low/mod concentration as a census block group in which a minimum of 51 percent of households earn 80 percent or below the area median income; the census block groups that meet these criteria are depicted in Figure 2 - Low- and Moderate-Income Areas. As reflected in this Figure, low- and moderate-income areas are generally located north of Fremont Street including in the neighborhoods of New Monterey, Downtown, Oak Grove, and Villa del Monte.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") A concentration is defined as a tract or block group with a non-White population of 50 percent or more.

There are no racially/ethnically concentrated block groups in the City of Monterey.

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? New Monterey, where two low- to moderate-income block groups are located, is primarily zoned for residential and planned community uses. The northern New Monterey low- to moderate-income block group encompasses Cannery Row and commercial corridors, including the corridor identified by the Lighthouse Specific Plan. There are several areas zoned for open space where parks and recreational opportunities are accessible to residents. This area also has many cultural and educational centers including Cannery Row and the Defense Language Institute for Foreign Language.

The low- to moderate- income block group in Downtown Monterey is near educational institutions and high-density commercial uses. In the low- to moderate- income tract on the east side of the City, commercial uses are nearby and adjacent and include hotels and retail stores. As discussed previously, the City has also adopted a Downtown Specific Plan with the goal of fostering and improving the Downtown as Monterey’s City center.

The Oak Grove low- to moderate-income area contains few residential opportunities. Most of the residential zoned areas are in block group two of this tract, which is not considered a low- to moderateincome area. Most of this block group is comprised on the Naval Postgraduate School, open space, El Estero Park, and a cemetery.

The easternmost low- to moderate-income area is located in Villa del Monte. The City adopted the Villa del Monte Neighborhood Revitalization Plan in May 2016. Villa del Monte is s located approximately a half mile from Del Monte Beach and Monterey State Beach to the north, Laguna Grande Regional Park and Roberts Lake to the east, and Monterey Regional Airport to the south. The neighborhood is primarily residential, with commercial zones along Del Monte Avenue, North Fremont Street, Casa Verde Way, Dela Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 109, Packet Page 112 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 98

Vina Avenue and Ramona Avenue. The Bay View Academy school is located on Helvic Avenue at Casa Verde Way. The two existing parks are Montecito Park and Peter J Ferrante Park.

Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? Assets in the area north of Old Fisherman’s Wharf include institutions of higher education, public offices, hotels, and the Monterey Conference Center, all within a commercial area. The low- to moderate- income block group in Downtown is within a commercial area near many hotels and restaurants. The low- to moderate- income tract on the east side of the City, is located near Montecito Park, which has been improved with CDBG funding during the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan period.

Additional neighborhood assets are discussed above.

Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? As discussed above, the City is implementing several strategic plans with goals to improve low- to moderate-income areas, including the Lighthouse Specific Plan, Downtown Specific Plan, Villa del Monte Neighborhood Plan, and Waterfront Master Plan.

The low- to moderate-income block groups in New Monterey are located in or adjacent to the Lighthouse Specific Plan which aims to create a livable community, and a revitalized destination point on Lighthouse Avenue for residents and visitors.

The low- to moderate- income block group in downtown is within a commercial area as well as within the City’s Downtown Specific Plan area- a plan adopted by the City to improve the Downtown as Monterey's City center.

The low- to moderate- income block group on the east side of the City, is located within the Villa Del Monte Neighborhood Plan area. The vision and goals of the Plan are to revitalize the neighborhood as well as improve and maintain the neighborhood’s historic character. The residents of the Villa Del Monte Neighborhood Plan area were included in the planning process through their input at community outreach meetings.

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.

Broadband is the common term used to refer to a very fast connection to the Internet. Such connections are also referred to as high-speed. Wireless broadband is widely available in the City of Monterey according to the Federal Communications Commission’s Broadband Availability data.2 According to the 2019-2023 ACS, 94.4 percent of households in the City have an internet subscription.

In general, purchasing internet subscriptions with higher speeds is more expensive and may not be affordable to low income households.

The Monterey Public Library’s public computer network includes 13 Internet workstations that are free and accessible to the public. Public Wi-Fi is provided by the City of Monterey as an additional service for residents and visitors to City facilities and is provided on a best-effort basis with support provided only during regular business hours.

Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.

Monterey is saturated with many fixed residential broadband providers. Providers include AT&T Inc., Comcast Corporation, Razzo Link Inc., ViaSat Inc., Hughes Network Systems, LLC, and VSAT Sys, and smaller, lesser known companies. The local providers offer a range of consumer WiFi internet plans that encompass different speed levels and price points. Currently, 100 percent of Monterey’s municipal jurisdiction has access to the internet through at least one local provider. 2 Residential Fixed Internet Access Service Connections – December 2022. https://www.fcc.gov/reportsresearch/maps/tract-level-residential-fixed-connections-dec-2022/.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.

Due to its location on the Pacific Ocean and Monterey Bay, as temperatures increase, the City would be most impacted by natural hazards that include sea level rise. In addition to sea level rise, the City is also at an increased risk of fire in the area..

In March of 2016, the City of Monterey developed a Climate Action Plan (CAP). The CAP lays out actions that can be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions so the City may be a contributor to greenhouse gas reduction by 2020, 2030, and 2050 according to AB 32. The CAP identifies activities that contribute to local climate adaptation and priority steps for planning.

Based upon findings from the City’s Climate Action Plan, due to its location near the ocean and forest, Monterey will be at a greater risk of the following effects from climate change:
• Sea-level rise and loss of beach sand
• Risk of wildfire
• Acidification and warming of the oceans affecting the Monterey Bay marine life with impacts to the tourism and fishing industries.
• Warming of the submarine canyon under Monterey Bay will lead to warmer nights and hotter summers, impacting the agricultural industry.
• Saltwater intrusion into the region’s potable groundwater basins will continue to increase, affecting agricultural activities
• Rainfall is likely to increase to the north of Monterey County and decrease to the south; it is unclear how the City of Monterey will be affected.

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

Being located immediately adjacent to the Monterey Bay, a portion of Monterey’s Downtown and Oak Grove neighborhood, both low to moderate income target areas, would be most impacted by sea level rise, in the near future. Local level impacts will include shoreline erosion, coastal inundation, storm and wave damage, and saltwater intrusion; as California is susceptible to earthquakes, seismic activity can also have a large impact on sea level and, consequentially, to coastal land.

The State of California has begun to be impacted by climate change due to drought and a resulting intensity of wildfires. None of the City’s low- to moderate-income areas are within any fire hazard severity zones.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
The City’s strategy for community improvement using CDBG funds will focus on five broad goals. These goals are:

1. Provide homeless prevention and public services benefitting all City residents, specifically low- to moderate-income households;

2. Support affordable housing opportunities, including the expansion and preservation of affordable housing, for low- and moderate-income households;

3. Provide and improve public facilities and infrastructure, particularly in low- to moderate-income communities;

4. Provide optimal program administration and oversight of the CDBG program to continue planning efforts to address the needs of extremely low, very low, and low-income households and areas.

The geographic priorities will continue to be in the CDBG target areas, which are generally located north of Fremont Street including in the neighborhoods of New Monterey, Downtown, Oak Grove, and Villa del Monte (see Figure 2). Funded services requiring income eligibility will be provided citywide.

Community needs were identified in the outreach process, which included public meetings, stakeholder meetings, and a community survey. Needs were prioritized according to most urgent needs through activities at each meeting as well as the most highly ranked needs in the Community Survey. Discussions with staff also contributed to the prioritization, recognizing other available resources may be available to address some identified needs.

Constraints on new housing development continue due to a lack of water resources and shortage of developable land in the City. However, new City policies, local, and State legislation are paving the way for additional affordable units, including accessory dwelling units and tax initiatives. The City supports the development of affordable rental housing through density bonuses and inclusionary zoning and by identifying City-owned sites for opportunities. The City also continues to work closely with the CoC and its partners to provide much needed services and shelters to populations experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Influence of Market Conditions
Affordable Housing Type Market Characteristics that will influence the use of funds available for housing type
New Unit Production The need for new housing in the City has been identified.

However, water resources continue to constrain new
development. A water credit plan is in place to mitigate the lack of water resources. The cost of land, labor and
materials also affects the total development costs and the number of units the City can support in any given year.

While funds are limited, the City will use regulatory tools - such as flexible development standards, density bonus and other incentives - to support the expansion of needed
affordable housing.

Rehabilitation The willingness of multi-family residential unit owners to accept housing funds for rehabilitation in exchange for dedication of low-income or below housing units may
influence housing rehabilitation abilities.

Acquisition, including preservation 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.

SP-35 Anticipated Resources - 91.215(a)(4), 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction
Under the previous 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City received a total of CDBG allocations of $1,251,875 between FY 2020 and FY 2024. The City’s CDBG entitlement allocation of funding requires addressing the ratio of program income to entitlement that the City receives each year.

While entitlements have been stable at about $250,000 a year, the amount of annual program income received is unpredictable and has ranged from less than $500,000 to more than $1,000,000. During the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan period, the average program income was $816,880 annually. Due to rising housing costs, many loans are being repaid to the CDBG fund, resulting in high program incomes. To meet CDBG expenditure timeliness requirements and comply with HUD’s program funding reporting and public outreach requirements, it is important to make the best estimate regarding the total funding expected to roll over from the prior year and the amount of program income to be received.

The City uses Program Income funds for the City’s single-family housing acquisition, rehabilitation, and resale program that makes housing ownership available to qualifying low-income households. It may also be used for housing rehabilitation loans that address health and safety repairs for low-income homeowners, including seniors and persons with disability. Program Income is also used for City’s Public Facilities and Infrastructure projects. Because the City receives so much additional Program Income, the City is able to provide more funding to Public Service programs.

The table below includes the estimated CDBG revenues for the coming year. Program Income funds come primarily from revenue from the Urban Renewal program, a program of land redevelopment in place prior to the inception of the CDBG program. program These funds are used to help support affordable housing in the City and are reported or regulated like CDBG funds and are therefore included in the CDBG budget. They are included in this table for reference only.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City’s current housing resources do not have matching fund requirements. However, the City will be using CDBG and federal funds to leverage other resources, including revenue from the Urban Renewal program, a program of land redevelopment in place prior to the inception of the CDBG program. These resources are dedicated to affordable housing activities, while the City’s CDBG allocation provides support through infrastructure, public facility, and public services. The City is using General Funds to support a rental assistance program to assist low-income households. So far, the City has added $500,000 to this program for FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
As outlined in the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element, two City-owned downtown parking facilities (Lot 14 parking lot on Bonifacio Pl & Adams St and the Calle Principal Garage on Calle Principal near Bonifacio Pl) have been identified as candidates for redevelopment with workforce housing to increase opportunities for hospitality and service workers, teachers, public servants, and others who earn less than 80 percent of the AMI. Both sites are located in the Alvarado District where the Downtown Specific Plan permits residential development at up to 100 units per acre.

The 2023-2031 Housing Element commits to amend the Downtown Specific Plan to increase permitted building heights to five stories in the Alvarado District; offer municipal shared parking agreements to projects that propose a minimum number of new housing units in proximity to a City-owned parking lot or structure; and incorporate additional incentives for consolidation of adjacent, small lots; and amend the Lighthouse Avenue Specific Plan to permit 100 percent residential projects fronting Lighthouse Avenue; offer municipal shared parking agreements to projects that propose a minimum number of new housing units in proximity to a City-owned parking lot or structure; and incorporate additional incentives for consolidation of adjacent, small lots.

Additionally, the Fort Ord/Ryan Ranch Specific Plan development area is City-owned. The 2023-2031 Housing Element includes a commitment to prepare a specific plan to establish a clear vision for the area and to guide future development and conservation, identify infrastructure needs and financing mechanisms, and establish measures to ensure sustainable development and adequate resource protection. The overarching objective should be to foster the creation of a mixed-use village on a portion of the site to provide housing, jobs, schools, shops, services and recreation for future residents while also preserving carefully selected areas of natural open space and habitat. Because the City is the property owner, incentives will also be incorporated to ensure a proportion of new housing units are affordable.

SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure – 91.215(k)
Explain the institutional structure through which the jurisdiction will carry out its consolidated plan including private industry, non-profit organizations, and public institutions.

The City coordinates and works closely with the agencies and organizations in Table 56 to deliver services to LMI households, special needs populations, and homeless families and individuals. Objectives and priorities for addressing homelessness in the Lead Me Home plan are, and will continue to be, aligned with the City’s Consolidated Plan. In addition to the City, Housing Authority, and ECHO Housing, Monterey will coordinate with non-profit agencies to support the Homeless Prevention and Services and Public Services Consolidated Plan priorities outlined above.

Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System Strengths of the Institutional Delivery System include significant annual program revenue, services for a variety of special needs populations, and commitments from community leadership to address homelessness. Financial constraints require the City to partner with both non-profit agencies and forprofit developers in planning affordable housing through various programs.

In addition to the City’s internal network, through its federal entitlement and other resources, Monterey 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.

Other gaps in the Delivery System include availability of affordable housing. As discussed above, water availability constrains development in the City. However, most of the services and activities that will utilize CDBG funds under this Consolidated Plan would not be constrained by water availability.

Table 53 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary
Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) The City of Monterey Planning staff regularly attend monthly meetings held by the Coalition of Homeless Service Providers (CHSP), the region’s Continuum of Care (CoC), which include the CHSP Board meeting, the Housing Pipeline meeting, the Leadership Council meeting, and the meeting of the CHSP Executive Committee, all held once per month.

Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 126, Packet Page 129 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 115
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In May 2019, the Lead Me Home 10-year Plan was updated. The plan builds upon the successful relationships that are multi-organizational, multi-governmental, and multi-sectoral. Collaboratively, an approach has begun to identify successful practices, organize resources, scale up to the size of the problem, and produce public value by delivering meaningful results.

The Lead Me Home Plan aligns with the City’s 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, which involves stabilizing existing tenancies to prevent homelessness through work with Fair Housing as well as non-profit housing providers and linking people to appropriate service providers that the City has traditionally supported through grant funding.

The City will continue to work with the Continuum of Care (CoC) and the providers it has traditionally funded to deliver services to LMI households, homeless families and individuals, and special needs populations.

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 As discussed above, the City will work with a network of providers to support services for a variety of special needs groups which may include, but are not limited to, seniors, unhoused individuals and families, youth, and persons with disabilities. The City will continue to coordinate with the CoC to deliver services to special needs populations including persons experiencing homelessness.

Funding is typically the main gap in the service delivery system. An increased demand for affordable housing and services in addition to increasing housing costs further strain the City’s ability to provide adequate services. As discussed above, Monterey lacks an adequate supply of housing affordable to lowand moderate-income households based on the population of cost burdened renters and owners in the City. The increase in the population of unhoused individuals in recent years also indicates that housing and services, including shelter beds, are not adequately serving the homeless population.

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 proposes to strengthen, coordinate and integrate the governmental institutions, non-profit and private delivery systems to implement the City’s five-year strategy and to address the priority needs outlined in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. To overcome gaps in the delivery of services and programs, the City will continue to engage the community and stakeholders in the delivery of services and programs for the benefit of low- to moderate-income residents. 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.

SP-50 Public Housing Accessibility and Involvement – 91.215(c) Need to Increase the Number of Accessible Units (if Required by a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement)
The Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) is not required to increase the number of accessible units by a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement. HACM does provide reasonable accommodation and modifications for its disabled applicants and residents so that they have equal access to housing and programs. HACM also participates as a board member in the Housing Alliance for Persons with Disabilities to further the development of accessible units in the region.

Additionally, the City will continue to collaborate with HACM to improve access to Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) or project-based tenant assistance. The City will also annually review opportunities to provide rehabilitation grant funding to HACM for upgrading the condition of its project-based rental housing units that are located within the City.

Activities to Increase Resident Involvements
HACM has developed a plan for self-sufficiency of the households it assists that is part of the Family Selfsufficiency program and continually recruits households. HACM also coordinates a Welfare to Work program as part of the Housing Choice Voucher program. HACM also has an HCV Homeownership program that attracts participants. HACM encourages employment through job posting and working with contractors to further the employment of its participants.

As discussed above, HACM is not required to increase the number of accessible units by a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
As presented in MA-40, potential barrier to housing opportunities can be related to public policies, such tax policies, zoning ordinances, fees and charges, growth limits, and other policies that affect the return on residential investment. Amending local zoning and land use laws or allocating funding for affordable housing through grants are mechanisms that can support the development of affordable units. Changes in policies can also help a community to overcome disparities in access to opportunity by the implementation of plans that will revitalize areas with existing affordable housing by improving services, schools and other community assets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure.

A Housing Element that complies with State law is presumed to have adequately addressed its policy constraints. According to HCD, as of October 4, 2024, the City of Monterey’s Housing Element was found to comply.

The primary constraint to development on the Monterey Peninsula is water supply. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) placed restrictions on the Carmel River in 1995, limiting water usage to protect critical habitat and endangered species. However, the restrictions have effectively halted the development of housing in the region and severely impacted the development of workforce housing, resulting in workers who work on the Monterey Peninsula living far outside the community and enduring long and expensive commutes. Some existing properties have water credits that can be allocated to new housing development. Monterey has also identified and mapped underutilized sites with water credits in the City’s specific plans.

In addition to the constraints facing market rate housing development, such as land prices and costs of construction, affordable housing projects face other constraints. While there is a range of sites with the potential to accommodate affordable housing projects, as well as projects that focus on special needs populations, financial assistance for the development of affordable housing is limited and highly competitive.

Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing 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. In addition, the City will implement the following actions identified in its 2023-2031 Housing Element to remove barriers to affordable housing:

Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 132, Packet Page 135 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 121
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Program 1-B Multi-Family Residential Overlay Amendments – Increases the allowable density in the MFR Overlay District and permits residential uses with 20 percent or more affordable units by right.
• Program 1-C Focused Specific Plan Updates – Allows for increased flexibility (density, height, parking, etc.) in specific plan areas to encourage affordable housing development. • Program 1-D Permit Streamlining Pilot Project
• Program 1-E Education Workforce Housing Overlay – Adopt an Education Workforce Housing Overlay to support the development of workforce housing. • Program 1-F Congregational Overlay – Adopt a Congregational Overlay to support the development of housing on properties owned by religious institutions. • Program 1-J SB 9 Housing Ordinance – Allows for the division of lots in single-family residential districts to facilitate the development of smaller scale housing that may be more affordable in existing neighborhoods.
• Program 2-A By-Right Zoning Sites from Prior Inventories • Program 2-B Permit Thresholds for Multi-Family Projects – Comply with State law requiring that decisions on residential projects be based on objective design standards. • Program 2-C ARC Review – Comply with State law requiring that decisions on residential projects be based on objective design standards.
• Program 2-D Revise Adopted Plans and Zoning with Objective Standards – Comply with State law requiring that decisions on residential projects be based on objective design standards. • Program 2-E Revise Parking Requirements – Comply with State law requiring reduced parking within a half mile of transit and undertake study as a basis for additional revisions to parking requirements.
• Program 2-F Update Density Bonus Ordinance
• Program 2-G Prepare Local Coastal Program – Comply with State law requiring that decisions on residential projects be based on objective design standards. • Program 2-I Inclusionary Zoning – Amend the Zoning Code to codify the inclusionary zoning requirement.
• Program 2-J Water Distribution Policy – Develop a methodology for allocating new water supply in a manner that prioritizes affordable housing projects. • Program 2-K Addressing Water Supply Constraints – Work with other jurisdictions and agencies to optimize the use of available supply in the short-term and to augment the existing water supply in the mid- to long-term.
• Program 2-M Permit Processing Procedures – Reduce permit processing times.

The City is planning to address the lack of water resources that prevented much needed residential development by requesting additional water district allocations from the Monterey Peninsula Water District. Though California American Water Company (Cal Am) continues to pursue the development of a new water source, at present Monterey Peninsula's water resources are limited and, as a result, the City of Monterey does not have water credits available for allocation for new development. All private property development that requires a water permit is limited to the water credits associated with the specific site.

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
In partnership with jurisdictions, including the City of Monterey, and service providers, the Continuum of Care (CoC) has launched the Coordinated Outreach and Resources for Encampments (CORE) team. This multi-disciplinary team is built of providers that specialize in mentally ill, substance abuse, Veterans, and youth. CORE outreach workers are paired with homeless guides to penetrate the most difficult encampment communities to 1) establish rapport with the inhabitants, 2) assess client needs and provide linkages to services, and 3) administer CARS assessments to those interested in homeless housing programs, like transitional housing or permanent supportive housing.

In addition to regional CoC coordination, the City partners with the Monterey Police Department (MPD) to facilitate outreach to unhoused individuals. Outreach efforts for persons experiencing homelessness are leveraged by Police Department funds. In coordination with the MPD, the City will:
• Provide workstations at the Monterey Police Department for service provider staff to facilitate solutions for the unhoused and collaboration with MPD officers; • Connect unhoused people with domestic violence workers, social workers, women's services, adult protective services, mental health and drug treatment programs, veterans programs, longterm housing solutions; and other relevant services; • Abate illegal encampments to prevent beach erosion, public health problems, environmental damage, nuisance conditions, and fire hazards; and
• Publish information about these collaborative efforts via the City website. • The Monterey Police Department (MPD) has collaborated with many agencies to address some of the prevalent issues affecting our community. Some of these issues include homelessness, quality of life complaints, substance abuse, chronic problems, etc. These issues are more readily resolved by partnering with various governmental and non-governmental entities. Social workers from Adult Protective Services (APS), Montage Health, Monterey County Behavioral Health, and Interim Inc. partner with Officers from MPD to form the Multi-Disciplinary Outreach Team (MDOT).
• MDOT makes numerous daily contacts with the unhoused population in Monterey. In 2024, MDOT assisted 147 individuals with different services. These services included obtaining Identification, hotel vouchers, gasoline cards, food security, and scheduling Doctor appointments. MDOT also helped 10 individuals get into temporary or permanent housing.

Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Program 4-E of the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element addresses constraints to supportive and transitional housing. The City will make the following amendments to the Zoning Code in compliance with State law:
• Revise the Code to clarify that the conversion of an existing multi-family housing development to accommodate supportive or transitional housing does not require a new use permit; Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 134, Packet Page 137 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 123
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• To make it easier to identify transitional and supportive housing uses and ensure compliance with State requirements, the terms “supportive housing”, “supportive services”, “target population”, and “use by right” shall include citations to the applicable provisions of State law as stated in Government Code Section 65650; and
• Amend the Code to allow supportive housing by right in zones where multifamily and mixed use development are permitted.

In 2015, the city established the Safe Parking Program (Monterey Zoning Code Section 38-126), which allows the use of existing parking lots on a temporary basis to provide individuals and families living in vehicles with a safe place to park overnight while working towards a transition to permanent housing.

Parking programs must be managed by a social service provider. In 2017, the City of Monterey amended its Zoning Ordinance to establish an emergency shelter overlay district to facilitate the provision of emergency shelter for homeless persons and in compliance with Government Code Section 65583 (a)(4).

The ordinance, which Monterey adopted in response to Senate Bill (SB) 2 (Cedillo, 2007) requiring the City to allow emergency shelters without any discretionary action in at least one zone appropriate for permanent emergency shelters, establishes objective development and management standards as allowed by the State.

The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element identifies 61 sites, with a total of 65.5 acres in the zones where emergency shelters are allowed by right. Of these, 21 are a third of an acre or more and 16 are vacant or used for parking. Section 38-99.2 of the Zoning Code limits the number and capacity of shelters allowed in the Overlay District to “that required to meet the shelter needs of the number of estimated homeless persons in the City identified in the City’s housing element.” Housing Element Program 4-F commits the City to revising the Code to comply with the requirements of State law pertaining to emergency shelters.

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.

The CHSP CoC coordinates numerous activities to train their service provider network and directly link homeless persons to affordable housing units and prevent formerly homeless persons from recidivism, like rapid rehousing training, weekly e-newsletters listing open low-income housing waitlists, prioritizing permanent supportive housing projects in funding rankings, and dedicating rapid re-housing funds to vetted seasoned providers.

Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely lowincome 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 Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 135, Packet Page 138 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 124
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs
The City continues to work closely with and provide grant funding to providers to support an institutional structure, outreach, and support to those most in need and at-risk of homelessness in the community.

The 2023-2031 Housing Element also includes Program 4-J, Anti-Displacement Strategy. In 2023, the City enacted Rental Inventory Ordinance No. 3671 C.S. to create a local rental registry. The ordinance requires landlords with three or more units to notify the City if there are rent increases or registration amendments, including occupancy status and reasons for prior tenancy being terminated. Through this program, the City will use information collected to inform preparation of an anti-displacement strategy, including but not limited to consideration of the following:
• Preserve Subsidized Affordable Units: Create partnerships with the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) to support acquisition of affordable units at-risk of conversion to market rate; identify a code enforcement specialist on staff to provide technical assistance and information to property owners of lower income units to address code enforcement issues; seek funding to support rehabilitation of substandard multi-family units; and restrict conversion of existing units occupied by lower-income households to short term rentals. • Protect Current Residents: Provide a link on the City’s website to the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) Portfolio Directory for availability of affordable rental units; partner with nonprofits that serve underserved residents within the City to share information on fair housing and tenant rights; and add first right of refusal for BMR units for displaced residents. • Awareness and Marketing: Develop an engagement strategy to disseminate information on tenant rights and protections (e.g., source of income, and State rent stabilization and just cause eviction regulations).

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards Approximately 73 percent of the City’s housing stock was built before 1980. In housing constructed prior to January 1, 1978, there is a possibility that lead-based paint was used. The City is conscious of the potential threat to human health this paint could present. Additionally, the City will conduct lead-based paint assessments as a component of any rehabilitation grant or loan project using CDBG funds.

Households that participate in housing activities under this plan, including rehabilitation, will be given educational materials regarding the hazards of lead-based paint, signs of lead poisoning, and strategies to reduce exposure. Materials will include the use of HUD/EPA publications such as “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home.” Information will be provided in English and Spanish. Publications and referral information will be placed on the City’s website to educate the public.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Predominantly the City’s programs are designed to reduce potential exposures to LBP by removing it when encountered in a CDBG funded rehabilitation project. If LBP exposure is reported by the County Public Health Department, the City is prepared to allocate CDBG rehabilitation funds to assist remediation for eligible LMI or special needs households.

How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The City’s Housing Programs office offers housing rehabilitation programs to eligible owner-occupied households. Rehabilitation programs provide a complete LBP assessment for all housing rehabilitations conducted at a cost of over $25,000 in accordance with HUD regulations. All CDBG grants for Home Safety or Minor Rehab Grant Program and the Housing Accessibility Grant require a visual lead paint assessment.

The loan and grant programs are available to owner-occupied households at or below 80 percent AMI and are frequently used to treat homes with lead-based paint. Additionally, the County provides a Child Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP), which provides community and provider education about the dangers of lead poisoning. The Public Health Nurse provides follow-up and case management to leadpoisoned children per State of California guidelines.

Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families The City’s anti-poverty strategy is based on the preservation and repair of existing housing units in the community and attracting a range of businesses to support workforce development to provide jobs for low-income residents. In addition, the City provides support for projects and services to several agencies offering a variety of supportive services to low-income residents.

As funding permits, the provision of social services for the elderly, homeless, veterans, families, and youth will expand opportunities for growth and encouragement. Supportive and legal services for seniors will ensure that these persons are not victims of fraud or abuse and will assist them to live independently in their homes.

As described in MA-45, the Workforce Development Board (WDB) of the County of Monterey and is a onestop career center concept operating under the state and local Workforce Investment Boards.

Membership to WDB requires members to be representative of local businesses, education providers, labor organizations, Community-Based Organizations, Economic and Community Development Entities, State Employment Service office under the Wagner-Peyser Act, and Rehabilitation. Regular WDB meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every other month.

The WDB offers individual training account, access to employment-related services including but not limited to job vacancies, career options, financial aid for education, employment trends, how to conduct a job search, write a resume, and interview for a job. The WDB also supports youth programs that target local labor market needs as well as community youth programs and services with emphasis on academic and occupational learning.

How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan
This affordable housing plan is integral to the City’s strategy to reduce the number of families in poverty.

The City consistently pursues funding sources to develop housing affordable to lower-income households.

A mix of unit sizes will be subsidized to assist families with children. Rental subsidies, when available through HACM Section 8 programs (including Housing Choice Vouchers), will be utilized to assist lowerincome households so that family resources can be targeted to self-sufficiency. Self-sufficiency and a strengths-based model of family functioning will be encouraged in service delivery of programs to lowerincome households.

Priorities identified in this Consolidated Plan further support Monterey’s poverty reducing goals. Actions related to Homelessness Prevention and Services, Public Services, Affordable Housing Opportunities, and Infrastructure Improvements will benefit a variety of residents including low- to moderate-income households, families with children, persons experiencing homelessness, persons with disabilities, veterans, elderly, youth, etc.

SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
Monterey 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 subrecipients are required by their subrecipient agreement to submit quarterly performance reports that demonstrate work is being performed in accordance with the scope of service, that evidence 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 staff.

The City has the following seven step monitoring process for sub-recipients:
• Risk Analysis for 100 percent of sub-recipients
• Pre-monitoring questionnaire for 100 percent of sub-recipients • Desk review for sub-recipients with a high score on the risk analysis or pre-monitoring questionnaire
• Request for site visit
• Conduct on-site visit to review grant documentation and procedures • Provide monitoring letter with recommendations, findings, and next steps • Intervention for sub-recipients that do not respond or fail to make corrective actions.

The table below includes the estimated CDBG revenues for the coming year. It includes the Former Urban Renewal Program Funds that the City typically receives each year. These funds are used to help support affordable housing in the City and are reported or regulated like CDBG funds and are therefore included in the CDBG budget. They are included in this table for reference only.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City’s current housing resources do not have matching fund requirements. However, the City will be using CDBG and federal funds to leverage other resources, including repayment of housing loans made by the former Urban Renewal program. These resources are dedicated to affordable housing activities, while the City’s CDBG allocation provides support through infrastructure, public facility, and public services. The City is using General Funds to support a rental assistance program to assist low-income households. So far, the City has added $500,000 to this program for FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan Discussion
The City has a program to purchase and rehabilitate deed restricted affordable homes and then resell them to low-income first-time homeowners, to ensure that no inventory is lost. The City has the first right of refusal to purchase these affordable units. The budget allows for the purchase approximately three units annually should they come available. The City also will continue outreach efforts and technical assistance to service providers and other jurisdictions in the area to identify new affordable housing projects and additional homeless services or facilities.

In addition, the inclusionary zoning ordinance has resulted in the development of affordable housing units in the City. One project, located at 300 Cannery Row is the conversion of an existing building to create eight new residential condominium units and 8,500 square feet of retail & Coastal Commercial with parking offsite.

Introduction
The Needs Assessment identified the greatest needs in the area of affordable housing, both rental and ownership, homeless services, and needs for rental assistance to prevent homelessness. Housing affordability and the availability of housing units suitable for lower and moderate income households continue to be a top priority in the City. The homeless population has continued to grow in the City.

Additionally, special needs populations such as seniors and persons with disabilities are more likely to be lower income and require additional housing assistance and/or public services. The City will continue to collaborate with the public service providers that have been traditionally funded by CDBG. The City will look for opportunities to work with other agencies that are able to meet CDBG program requirements that provide services needed in the community.

The Priority Needs identified in the Con Plan include:
• Homeless Prevention and Public Services
• Affordable Housing Opportunities
• Public Facilities and Infrastructure
• Planning and Administration
The proposed projects in this Action Plan address all of the Priority Needs and all of the identified associated Goals.

The greatest obstacle to addressing underserved needs continues to be a lack of funding. Not only are funding sources being reduced in a number of areas, but the reductions in non-HUD resources serve to only increase the needs of residents. Monterey also faces a unique challenge to building new affordable housing due to a lack of water resources.

Contingency Plan
The City of Monterey is unique in that its funding available annually can fluctuate greatly due to program income. The amount of program income that may become available during a program year is not within the City's control. As such, the City establishes the following contingency plan in order to respond to the availability of resources flexibly and in a timely manner. The Annual Action Plan can include a list of backup projects that may be activated if funding becomes available. Once approved by the Council to be included in the Annual Action Plan, activating these backup projects during the program year would not constitute a substantial amendment to the Action Plan.

Backup Projects:

If additional funding becomes available during the program year, the City will activate one or more of the following projects:
• Minor Rehab Grant Program (up to $150,000)

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
CDBG funding will largely be used city-wide for income eligible persons and households. If additional funding becomes available due to unexpected loan payoffs, the City expects to use CDBG funds in the lowto moderate-income areas.

Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
Citywide 100
Table 58 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Traditionally, the City has committed to spending approximately 70 percent of CDBG funds for housing and infrastructure projects in low- and moderate-income (LMI) census tract block groups. This prioritization has includes a portion of public service grant activity along with public infrastructure funding, targeted to LMI census tract block groups. In addition, the City does not have any racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAPS) and only has a handful of census tract block groups that qualify as low- to moderate-income (in accordance with HUD’s income data). As a result of the diversified distribution of the low-moderate population across the City, it is necessary to split the use of CDBG funds between low-mod neighborhoods and low-mod needs, citywide.

Discussion
The decision to distribute funding citywide is based on the limited number of low-income census tract block groups that will qualify for HUD’s Low-Mod Income Area benefit. Only a handful of census block groups are classified as low income based on the percentage of households with income at or below 80 percent of Area Median Income. For this reason, there is limited ability for the City to target CDBG funds to specific areas and receive Low-Mod Area (LMA) benefit. Additionally, the City’s most significant unmet need for affordable housing is generally citywide in geographic distribution. In recognition of this housing need, the City Council has directed that affordable housing and homeless services should be placed above the priority for public infrastructure improvements and home repair programs for homeowners.

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
The City of Monterey continues to be a desirable place to live, it is difficult to construct new residential development, therefore creating a strong demand and an expensive housing market. The average home cost is between $1.6 and $1.7 million dollars based on data from Redfin and Zillow, and these prices continue to rise each year. A large portion of Monterey’s workforce cannot afford to live in the City due to high housing costs. The City of Monterey also faces other hurdles in the development of affordable housing, as it is almost entirely built out lacks the water resources to support development of new housing. In Monterey, Fair Market Rents (FMRs) established by HUD tend to be exceeded by the actual cost of rental housing resulting in Section 8 Voucher holders having difficulty locating housing in the City.

In order to preserve existing housing affordability for existing homeowners, the City has allocated PY 2025 CDBG funding to homeowner rehabilitation. Unfortunately, steeply rising materials and labor costs have reduced the number of units which can be rehabilitated despite significant funding. The City will also provide assistance to eligible low-income first-time homebuyers through an Acquisition/Rehabilitation/Resale project. In addition, the City has also been successful in offering affordable ownership opportunities through the City’s Inclusionary Housing Program that deed-restricts, units at a number of sites throughout the community.

The City also maintains a Purchase and Resale Program in which the City has the first right of purchase on deed restricted properties that were created through the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.

Program provides the opportunity for low- and moderate households to participate in homeownership, reap tax benefits, and have a stable monthly housing cost. The City also offers affordable rental opportunities. Some of the units created through the Inclusionary Ordinance were rental units.

In Program Year 2025, the City will continue its various affordability programs while continually searching for new ways to meet affordability goals.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The City of Monterey’s allocation is a total of 364 vouchers (8.2% of the total vouchers available in the County), including 79 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Vouchers, 27 Emergency Housing Vouchers, 2 Family Unification Vouchers, 5 Mainstream Vouchers, 209 other tenant-based vouchers, and 34 Project Based Vouchers. The City will continue to coordinate with HACM as the regional housing authority and public housing provider whenever possible. Estimates outlined in this narrative are based on the most recent 2025 data provided by HACM. Therefore, HCV estimates described in this section may not align with estimates in Table 22.

HACM has converted all its public housing units to Project-Based Rental Assistance. Currently there are 177 assisted housing units in the City of Monterey. These units are in ten separate projects:
• Portola Vista at 20 Del Monte Avenue – 64 units
• Montecito Apartments at 242 Montecito Street – 8 units • Watson Apartments at 531 Watson Street – 5 units
• Casanova Plaza at 800 Casanova Ave – 17 units
Of the total inventory of HACM assisted housing in the City, 64 of the units are for seniors and/or disabled persons, 30 units are for families.
• MIDPEN: Van Buren Senior Housing at 669 Van Buren Street – 18 units • CHISPA: El Estero Senior Housing at 151 Park Avenue – 26 units • INTERIM, INC.: Casa de Los Robles at 504 W. Franklin Street – 6 units • INTERIM, INC.: Dela Vina Apartments at 345 Dela Vina Avenue – 14 units • INTERIM, INC.: Casa de Perla at 608 Pearl St – 8 units • INTERIM, INC.: Pearl St Apartments at 604 and 606 Pearl St – 11 units Of the total inventory of assisted housing in the City, 108 of the units are for seniors and/or disabled persons, 39 units are for special needs, and 30 units are for families.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The HACM is not designed as troubled and in recent years has transitioned to a Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) project. Since the implementation of RAD, HACM no longer owns public housing nor is information supplied on the condition of units that are formerly public housing. However, RAD gives owners of RAD converted units (formerly public housing units) three HUD "legacy" programs (Rent Supplement, Rental Assistance Payment, and Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation), offering them the opportunity to enter into long-term contracts that facilitate the financing of improvements to housing units.

The City will continue to remain informed about the needs of public housing and provide assistance if necessary and feasible.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
HACM has developed a plan for self-sufficiency of the households it assists that is part of the Family Selfsufficiency program and continually recruits households. HACM also coordinates a Welfare to Work program as part of the Housing Choice Voucher program. HACM also has an HCV Homeownership program that attracts participants. HACM encourages employment through job posting and working with contractors to further the employment of its participants.

As discussed above, HACM is not required to increase the number of accessible units by a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The Coalition of Homeless Service Providers (CHSP) is the Continuum of Care (CoC) for the Counties of Monterey and San Benito, which includes the City. The City continues to work closely and collaborate with the CoC and the CHSP to reach out to homeless sheltered and unsheltered persons to assess their individual needs and provide appropriate services in a timely and respectful manner. In 2024, the City hired a new Homeless Navigator, who is a certified social worker. This position enhances the City’s already extensive collaboration with CHSP and the CoC.

Every two years, in the month of January, communities across the United States conduct counts of the local population experiencing homelessness. The Point-in-Time (PIT) Homeless Count collects information on individuals and families residing in temporary shelters and places not meant for human habitation.

Information gathered through the PIT Homeless County conducted in the County of Monterey is used by the CHSP to understand the issues associated with homelessness, including causes of homelessness, service needs of the homeless, the region’s unmet housing needs, and trends over time of homelessness in the region. Information from the 2025 PIT Homeless Count is not yet available. The 2024 Monterey County PIT Homeless Count found the County-wide homeless population was 2,436, including 221 persons identified within the City of Monterey.

As required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), jurisdictions receiving federal funding to provide homeless services must report the findings of their local PIT Homeless Count Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 159, Packet Page 162 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 148
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
to HUD. This information ultimately helps the federal government to better understand the nature and extent of homelessness nationwide.

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
The City continues to work closely and collaborate with the CoC and the CHSP to reach out to homeless sheltered and unsheltered persons to assess their individual needs. In PY 2025, the City proposes to use CDBG funds for five programs which outreach to those experiencing homelessness, assess their individual needs, and provide appropriate assistance. Those agencies and programs include:
• Community Human Services Casa De Noche Buena: This emergency shelter will serve an estimated 100 single persons and families with children. Proposed PY 2025 CDBG funding is $20,000.
• Community Human Services Safe Place: Homeless outreach and support services to meet the individual needs of up to 120 persons experiencing homelessness and at-risk youth. Proposed PY 2025 CDBG funding is $20,000.
• Gathering for Women: This agency provides individualized case management and day-center services to homeless persons to assist an estimated 200 persons. Proposed PY 2025 CDBG funding is $20,000.
• Interim, Inc.: This agency provides individual assessments, homeless services, emergency and temporary housing outreach, and case management for an estimated 20 persons with mental illnesses. Proposed PY 2025 CDBG funding is $25,000.
• Community Human Services Shuman Heart House: This agency provides services to families who may be experiencing homelessness to assist an estimated 90 persons. Proposed PY 2025 CDBG funding is $20,000.

The Monterey Police Department (MPD) uses a collaborative approach to addressing community issues through their Multi-Disciplinary Outreach Team (MDOT) which includes social workers from Adult Protective Services (APS), Montage Health, Monterey County Behavioral Health, and Interim Inc. patrolling with MPD officers.

The MDOT patrols the downtown and waterfront areas in a non-threatening manner, using bicycles and beach vehicles instead of patrol cars. The MDOT makes numerous daily contacts with the unhoused population in the City connecting them with services that address their individual needs. Such in-person interactions allow officers to better supply assistance and referrals to the appropriate agencies. In 2024, MDOT assisted 147 individuals with individualized services. These services included obtaining Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 160, Packet Page 163 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 149
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Identification, hotel vouchers, gasoline cards, food security, and scheduling doctor appointments. MDOT also helped 10 individuals obtain temporary or permanent housing.

Based on the success of the MDOT collaborative model, in September 7, 2023, MPD opened an outreach and navigation center to support the multi-disciplinary outreach team as a collaborative works space to address the unhoused population. This outreach creates a closer bond between the community, including unsheltered homeless or persons in need and officers and allows for individual needs to be assessed.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons In PY 2025, the City will fund two local overnight homeless, navigation centers: Casa de Noche Buena and the Shuman Heart House, both shelters serve primarily single homeless persons and families. The City also funds Gathering for Women, a daytime navigation center serving primarily single homeless persons and families. Gathering for Women provides case management, a resource closet, and meals.

The City has also implemented other strategies addressing emergency housing for the unhoused, including developing:
• Safe Parking Ordinance (https://monterey.municipal.codes/Code/38-126) • Emergency Shelter Overlay District
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
The Continuum of Care (CoC) coordinates numerous activities to train the service provider network and directly link homeless persons to affordable housing units. These activities are undertaken to prevent formerly homeless persons from becoming homeless again and include programs and actions such as rapid rehousing training, weekly e-newsletters listing open low-income housing waitlists, prioritizing permanent supportive housing projects in funding rankings, and dedicating rapid rehousing funds to vetted seasoned providers.

In PY 2025, the City will use CDBG to fund Community Human Services for three separate programs: Casa de Buena Noche, Safe Place, and Shuman HeartHouse. All three programs assist homeless individuals and families by providing services which stabilize them, shorten the time they are homeless, and prevent the homeless from becoming homeless again. Casa de Buena Noche focuses efforts on providing a lowbarrier emergency shelter for single homeless persons and families and Safe Place focuses efforts on homeless youth with special attention on street outreach, family re-unification, and case management. Shuman

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
HeartHouse provides services including shelter, meals, and supportive services designed to help individuals and families avoid becoming homeless again and to lead to permanent housing.

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 City continues collaboration with the regional Continuum of Care (CoC), the Coalition of Homeless Service Providers (CHSP). The CHSP is currently working to establish diversion programs and best practices among their provider network and are working on streamlining the CARS process to capture information on those who are at-risk in order to provide services which will help them avoid homelessness.

In addition, to work with the CHSP, in PY 2025, the City will provide public service grant funding to eight organizations for 10 programs which address the City’s highest priorities. Five of these organizations provide direct services to low- and moderate-income individuals which help them avoid homelessness as noted below:
• The Food Bank of Monterey County provides food services to low-and moderate-income individuals and families, seniors, and persons with disabilities to subsidize their budget so that more funds remain to maintain stable housing.
• Meals on Wheels provides home delivered meals to the elderly and disabled so that they can maintain independence and avoid becoming homeless.
• Court Appointed Special Advocates Program (CASA) provides advocacy for children in foster care, and services to stabilize their housing and move them into self-sufficiency as adults. • Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) provides fair housing services to low- and moderate-income residents, helping them navigate fair housing issues and reducing the likelihood that they will become homeless.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

As presented in the FY25-29 Consolidated Plan, potential barrier to housing opportunities can be related to public policies, such tax policies, zoning ordinances, fees and charges, growth limits, and other policies that affect the return on residential investment. Amending local zoning and land use laws or allocating funding for affordable housing through grants are mechanisms that can support the development of affordable units. Changes in policies can also help a community to overcome disparities in access to opportunity by the implementation of plans that will revitalize areas with existing affordable housing by improving services, schools and other community assets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure.

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
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. In addition, the City will implement Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 163, Packet Page 166 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 152
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
the following actions identified in its 2023-2031 Housing Element to remove barriers to affordable housing:
• Program 1-B Multi-Family Residential Overlay Amendments – Increases the allowable density in the MFR Overlay District and permits residential uses with 20 percent or more affordable units by right.
• Program 1-C Focused Specific Plan Updates – Allows for increased flexibility (density, height, parking, etc.) in specific plan areas to encourage affordable housing development. • Program 1-D Permit Streamlining Pilot Project
• Program 1-E Education Workforce Housing Overlay – Adopt an Education Workforce Housing Overlay to support the development of workforce housing. • Program 1-F Congregational Overlay – Adopt a Congregational Overlay to support the development of housing on properties owned by religious institutions. • Program 1-J SB 9 Housing Ordinance – Allows for the division of lots in single-family residential districts to facilitate the development of smaller scale housing that may be more affordable in existing neighborhoods.
• Program 2-A By-Right Zoning Sites from Prior Inventories • Program 2-B Permit Thresholds for Multi-Family Projects – Comply with State law requiring that decisions on residential projects be based on objective design standards. • Program 2-C ARC Review – Comply with State law requiring that decisions on residential projects be based on objective design standards.
• Program 2-D Revise Adopted Plans and Zoning with Objective Standards – Comply with State law requiring that decisions on residential projects be based on objective design standards. • Program 2-E Revise Parking Requirements – Comply with State law requiring reduced parking within a half mile of transit and undertake study as a basis for additional revisions to parking requirements.
• Program 2-F Update Density Bonus Ordinance
• Program 2-G Prepare Local Coastal Program – Comply with State law requiring that decisions on residential projects be based on objective design standards. • Program 2-I Inclusionary Zoning – Amend the Zoning Code to codify the inclusionary zoning requirement.
• Program 2-J Water Distribution Policy – Develop a methodology for allocating new water supply in a manner that prioritizes affordable housing projects. • Program 2-K Addressing Water Supply Constraints – Work with other jurisdictions and agencies to optimize the use of available supply in the short-term and to augment the existing water supply in the mid- to long-term.
• Program 2-M Permit Processing Procedures – Reduce permit processing times.

The City is planning to address the lack of water resources that prevented much needed residential development by requesting additional water district allocations from the Monterey Peninsula Water District. Though California American Water Company (Cal Am) continues to pursue the development of a new water source, at present Monterey Peninsula's water resources are limited and, as a result, the City Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 164, Packet Page 167 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 153
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
of Monterey does not have water credits available for allocation for new development. All private property development that requires a water permit is limited to the water credits associated with the specific site.

Discussion:

In the Needs Assessment and Housing Market Analysis sections of the Consolidated Plan, the lack of affordable housing in the City of Monterey was identified as a key, unmet need. The Consolidated Plan acknowledges, however, that land constraints and limited water make it incredibly difficult to create new housing stock sufficient enough to fully address the unmet need. As a result, the Consolidated Plan identifies strategies that will support the development of housing with a focus to supply needed housing units.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

The City addresses these other actions in a variety of way, as noted in individual sections below.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs Some of the greatest underserved needs are homeless services, services for seniors, and affordable housing. The greatest obstacle to addressing those underserved needs is funding. The City uses CDBG funds, PLHA funds, HOME funds, and general funds to meet these underserved needs. The City continues to seek additional funding sources.

To address the underserved needs of the homeless, the City will use PY 2025 CDBG funds to fund three programs operated by Community Human Service (CHS) as shown below. • Community Human Services Casa De Noche Buena: This emergency shelter will serve an estimated 100 single homeless persons and families with children. Proposed PY 2025 CDBG funding is$20,000.
• Community Human Services Safe Place: Homeless outreach and support services to meet the individual needs of up to 120 persons experiencing homelessness and at-risk youth. Proposed PY 2025 CDBG funding is $20,000.
• Community Human Services Shuman HeartHouse: This agency provides services to families who may be experiencing homelessness and will assist up to 90 single homeless persons and families with children. Proposed PY 2025 CDBG funding is $20,000.

Community Human Services Casa De Noche Buena and Shuman HeartHouse Homeless Shelter will also receive $81,692 in PLHA funds in PY 2025.

Two other programs serving the homeless will also be funding with CDBG in PY 2025:
• Gathering for Women: This agency provides individualized case management and day-center services to homeless persons to assist an estimated 200 persons. Proposed PY 2025 CDBG funding is $20,000.

Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 165, Packet Page 168 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 154
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Interim, Inc.: This agency provides individual assessments, homeless services, emergency and temporary housing outreach, and case management for an estimated 20 persons with mental illnesses. Proposed PY 2025 CDBG funding is $25,000.

The City expects to receive PLHA funds in FY 2025-2026, but funding is not finalized as of the writing of this document. If sufficient funding is received, the City expects to use those funds to support the Downtown Streets Team with a grant of $67,090, and the Gathering for Women’s Expanding Hope program with a grant of $32,170.

The City has a long history of developing affordable housing and continues to fund projects which address the affordable housing using a variety of funding sources. As noted in the prior section, current affordable housing project in development include 13 affordable units at 2300 Garden Road, a 91 unit development with 20% affordable units located at 2000 and 2006 Garden Road, and Mid-Pen Housing, which provides 36 affordable units.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City currently has a portfolio of 141 units with an additional 67 in the development or construction phase. As previously mentioned, the City will continue to support the Van Buren Senior Housing project (developed on City-owned land), the Monterey Hotel Apartments (a project solely funded with former Redevelopment Agency housing funds), and Estrella Apartment (funded by HOME grant), all of which provide housing affordable to low- to moderate-income households. The City continues to manage these projects and none of them are in danger of converting to market-rate.

In PY 2025, the City will fund an Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Repair program which will make affordable housing available to low- and moderate-income first-time homebuyers. One to three homebuyers are expected to benefit. In addition, in PY 2025 the City will continue its work in preserving the affordability of existing housing stock through the Major Rehabilitation Program and the Minor Rehabilitation Program with grants to maintain safety and habitability for low- and moderate-income homeowners. The City anticipates that seven owner-occupied homes will be assisted.

In PY 2024, the City Council approved a Rental Assistance program in the amount of $500,000 funded through general funds to assist residents in need who earn up to 120% area median income (AMI).

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City actively promotes its Major and Minor Residential Rehabilitation programs to low-income households to make minor repairs to improve overall housing quality. Each home receiving a rehabilitation grant is tested for lead-based paint. If lead-based paint is discovered, the City uses the allocated CDBG Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 166, Packet Page 169 Consolidated Plan MONTEREY 155
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
funds to abate lead-based paint hazards, and conduct clearance testing.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City can reduce the number of poverty-level families by ensuring that the City has a thriving economy which offers employment opportunities to all residents. The City supports economic development by providing support to small businesses to address business retention, job training, commercial rehabilitation, construction, and assisting private and for-profit businesses. Assistance may include grants, loans, loan guarantees, and technical help.

Job training and career counseling can help resident increase their earning power. Through its summer job opportunities and volunteer programs, the City continues to support its youth population in preparing to enter the workforce. Youth can gain job skills and customer service experience through different jobs, including a playground recreation leader, a day camp counselor, and other similar positions.

The City also supports adult residents who are seeking jobs. The Monterey County Workforce Development Board (WDB) is a one-stop career center operating under state and local Workforce Investment Boards. This center provides job listings, career counseling, assistance with unemployment insurance, and links to potential job training programs.

Assisting individuals with the challenges which keep families in poverty is a critical step in reducing the number of poverty-level families. In PY 2025, the City will provide CDBG grant allocations to service organizations offering important supportive services which may provide assistance for residents to increase their earning potential:
• Food donation from the Food Bank of Monterey County
• Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) helps children in foster care • Food delivery by Meals on Wheels for seniors and disabled seniors • Alliance on Aging that provides tax assistance to low-income seniors • Fair housing education and counseling on housing and home lending discrimination • Acquisition and rehabilitation of ownership units for resale to low-income first-time homebuyers
• Outreach and support for homeless persons and at-risk youth by CHS • Providing a homeless shelter for single homeless persons and families with children by CHS • Providing homeless services, emergency and temporary housing, and case management for persons with mental illnesses through Interim, Inc.
• Day-center services to homeless persons in the city through Gathering for Women • Home rehabilitation for low- to moderate-income residents in the City • Rental Assistance Program
• Rental Inventory Program

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City has an experienced and effective staff who work on issues which impact the low- and moderateincome community. The City also works closely and collaborates with CHSP, the CoC, to implement the Lead Me Home Plan. CHSP partners with a wide-range of public and private entities that include CA-506— Salinas/Monterey, San Benito Counties CoC, affordable housing developers, community clinics and health centers, other healthcare providers, educational institutions, faith-based organizations, housing and homeless services providers, local government, probation/criminal justice, non-profit agencies, private foundations, public housing authorities, people with lived experience of homelessness, and service providers for families, seniors, survivors of domestic violence, veterans, and youth. Many of these partners mentioned are traditional recipients of the City’s CDBG program. The City continues to work closely and on a regular basis with these providers through the CDBG program’s annual activities.

The city is in the process of implementing its Housing Element that was Adopted and approved by HCD in 2024. The Housing Element programs will:
• Accelerate housing production
• Streamline the approval of housing development affordable to owner and renter households at all income levels
• Facilitate housing affordability, particularly for lower- and moderate-income households • Promote development consistent with the State Planning Priorities (Government Code Section 65041.1)
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
In PY 25, the City will continue to coordinate and work closely with agencies and organizations to provide services to the low- and moderate-income community, special needs populations, and homeless families and individuals. Objectives and priorities for addressing homelessness that are established in the Lead Me Home Plan are, and will continue to be, aligned with the City’s Consolidated Plan and annual activities. As previously described, the CHSP works in close coordination with the CDBG subrecipients receiving CDBG allocations from the City. These include:
• Community Human Services (CHS) Safe Place – counseling, family reunification, temporary shelter, and street outreach for homeless youth.
• CHS Casa de Buena Noche – emergency shelter for single homeless persons and families with children.
• CHS Shuman HeartHouse – homeless shelter for single homeless persons and families with children. Interim, Inc. – homeless services, emergency and temporary housing outreach, and case management for persons with mental illness. • Veterans Transition Center – services for homeless veterans and their families.

As part of the preparation of the FY2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the City of Monterey conducted extensive public outreach and consultation. This report summarizes those outreach efforts as well as the public comments that were received. Information from these efforts were incorporated into the Consolidated Plan, including the priorities that were chosen to be the focus of the City’s CDBG and Program Income spending over the next five years.

City Outreach Efforts
This report contains documentation of the following activities:
• Stakeholder consultation
• Community workshops, including a Spanish-speaking meeting • Several pop-up events held throughout the City
• A housing and community development survey in both digital and paper formats • Rank and Review Committee meeting

Stakeholder Workshops
Two virtual stakeholder workshops were held in December 2024:
• Afternoon of December 11th
• Morning of December 19th
The workshops included a presentation of the Consolidated Plan’s purpose, contents and requirements. The majority of the time was spent conducting a Mentimeter poll where all participants were able to answer questions on a digital device and the answers were shown on the screen. This allowed participants to see answers in real time as well as spurring discussions.

A summary of the top priorities is shown below. The complete Mentimeter results, comments and presentations can be found in Appendix A.

The following shows the top priorities from the workshop:

Voting was done by placing dots on posters with different topics and programs. Pictures of the posters are included in Appendix A.

The summary below outlines the top priorities from the two meetings. Please Note: Due to duplication in the voting, categories had a varying number of programs selected by participants.

Housing and Community Development Survey
A housing and community development survey was open between December 15, 2025 and January 31, 2025. The survey, available in English and Spanish, could be completed via online (SurveyMonkey) or paper. The weblinks and QR codes were advertised on the City’s website, social media, in community meetings and on flyers. Paper surveys were also available at City Hall and the pop-up and community events.

A total of 212 responses were received (209 in English and three in Spanish). Of the total, 17 responses were paper surveys and were inputted into SurveyMonkey for analysis. Additional paper surveys were received but not tallied due to being incomplete or multiple answers were provided for the same question.

Complete results of the surveys are included in Appendix A. The information below provides a summary of key points of information. The majority of surveys were completed by respondents residing in Monterey. Some were completed by respondents outside of the City, presumably from people who work but not live in the City, or individuals who own businesses or properties, or have other interests in the City.

Public Outreach Used to Determine Consolidated Plan Priorities The outreach efforts mentioned above aimed to gather data to help determine the top priorities for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. The overall categories included:
• Community Facilities Needs
• Neighborhood Improvement Needs
• Community Programs and Services Needs
• Economic Development Needs
• Housing Needs
• Special Housing Needs (including persons experiencing homelessness) The tables below show the rankings of each category from the surveys, community meetings and stakeholder workshops. For each table, the ranking starts with #1 being the most important and continues numerically to the least important for each category. While voting differed somewhat between target audiences, some programs are shown to be important to most outreach participants. These include outdoor parks and recreation facilities; sidewalk and curb improvements; health services; workforce, skills, job training and placement; affordable rental housing and housing for seniors.

Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 207, Packet Page 210 Old Fisherman’s Wharf Celebrates 180 Years with an “Ode to Calamari Contest” in January 2025
Old Fisherman’s Wharf is pleased to
announce a special milestone: its180th
anniversary. Old Fisherman's Wharf will
celebrate with a variety of special
promotions and events throughout
2025. During the month of January, Old
Fisherman’s Wharf commemorates the
Wharf's 180 years of fishing, delivering,
and cooking fresh calamari in a variety
of delicious ways for millions of locals
and visitors alike.

In 1845, Thomas Larkin constructed a
wharf at Monterey for regular
passenger and freight service, with ships
arriving four times weekly. Growth of the
sardine industry and the need to keep
the Wharf in better repair prompted the
Monterey City Council to assume ownership of the pier in 1913. At some time during this period, it became known as "Fisherman's Wharf".

More interesting details about the Wharf’s fascinating history are here: https://montereywharf.com/history.html.

To initially commemorate this anniversary, Fisherman’s Wharf Association is launching the “Ode to Calamari Contest,” inviting calamari enthusiasts to craft a four-sentence poem expressing their love for calamari and submit it during the month of January. See contest rules and more information at
https://montereywharf.com/event/ode-to-calamari-contest/761.html.

Sending Hope For Strength and Courage to Southern California Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 210, Packet Page 213 Photos from Monterey Fire Department on Jan. 8 and 9 at the Palisades Fire.

We are sending our deeply heartfelt sentiments to our fellow Californians dealing with the fire storm in Southern California. The magnitude of the situation is unimaginable. We hope the messages of care and concern from around the world help in some way. Our hearts break for everyone experiencing this tragic event, and for the pets and wildlife in harms way as well. We wish for strength and Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 211, Packet Page 214 courage to all the communities impacted and to the fire crews! Dozens of fire agencies have been called to help. Our Monterey Fire Department is providing mutual aid and currently has two fire engines deployed to the Palisades Fire, each with a crew of four firefighters.

The first Cal OES Type 1 fire engine and crew left on Tuesday, and the second Type 3 Wildland fire engine and crew left Thursday. The Wildland engine carries significant water (a 500 gallon tank) which is a huge benefit given the capacity needs. (See fire engine photos and descriptions)
Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 212, Packet Page 215 We hold our firefighters in our hearts and wish them a safe return.

Monterey Fire maintains a full service level locally during times of mutual aid assistance in other communities.

Additionally, the League of California Cities is creating a list of agencies who can help in other capacities. The City of Monterey has added our name to their list and offered broader expertise to support the affected cities emergency management efforts.

Fort Ord Regional Trail & Greenway Canyon Del Rey Segment Project Update CORRECTION
In last week's #474 email, we incorrectly listed
Caltrans as a funding agency for the

in partnership with the City of Del Rey Oaks,
the City of Seaside, Caltrans, and the Parks
District.

Construction of the Canyon Del Rey
Segment of the FORTAG project is being
done in phases and different areas of the project will be affected at different times. As the project moves forward, residents and businesses will be provided additional notifications in advance of bridge foundation work (pile driving) and work that restricts driveway access. Construction is expected to last through August 2026.

Monterey Fire Crews on Scene at the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 221, Packet Page 224 As we mentioned in last Friday's
Monterey Matters email, since
early last week our Monterey Fire
Department is providing mutual
aid and currently has two fire
engines deployed to the Palisades
Fire, historically now one of the
most destructive fires in Southern
California. We have a Cal OES
Type 1 fire engine, and a Type 3
Wildland fire engine on scene,
each with a crew of four. The
Wildland engine carries significant
water (a 500 gallon tank) which is
a huge benefit given the capacity
needs.

Originally, they were both assigned to structure protection units. Now they are assigned to tactical patrol, which involves monitoring neighborhoods for lingering hot spots to prevent reignition and ensuring everything is safe for residents who are preparing to return to their homes.

Our hearts go out to all the people and communities affected. We thank all of the first responders for their dedication and bravery and wish them all a safe return home. Photos provided by Monterey Fire.

Buy Local Monterey this Holiday Season
Photo credit: Larry Nordwick, Creative Images
There are still a few shopping days left before Christmas. Buying local has a big impact on a community - our "Buy Local Monterey" campaign started many years ago. Buy Local Monterey means: 1) Be Local, 2) Help the Environment, and 3) Support your Community. When you shop at locally-owned stores, more of your dollars recirculate Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 241, Packet Page 244 within the community through taxes, employment, and philanthropic support for local groups. The City of Monterey has some very unique and enticing shopping districts for tourists and locals alike.

Every dollar spent in Monterey helps sustain the economic vitality of our community by supporting:

Our local businesses
Our friends and neighbors who are employed by these businesses Many of the City programs and services enjoyed by our residents, from the Sports Center to the Library
The City’s Finance Department estimates that if people spent 10 percent of what they purchase outside of Monterey or online, and instead spent that money at local stores in Monterey, then the 10% (ten cents on each dollar) would create $500,000 dollars in revenue for the City’s General Fund. That’s a half million dollars worth of support for City programs, from Whispering Pines Day camp to senior activities and street re-surfacing…for a 10% change in where you choose to spend your money.

Shopping locally also is good for our environment. Less time spent in our cars helps reduce our carbon footprint and means more time enjoying our beautiful city. Buying local often eliminates costs of high transportation fees. Shopping locally reduces your carbon footprint by decreasing the mileage that products have to travel to get to you. This cuts fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with your consumption of that product. Local businesses are also more likely to use local suppliers, thus providing a fresher and more sustainable product.

Today our Monterey Recreation
Division, in collaboration with the
Kiwanis Club of Monterey and the
Food Bank for Monterey County,

members. Thank you to the staff and volunteers for your work in making this happen!

CDBG Resident Survey for Consolidated Plan (2025-2029) and Annual Action Plan (2025-2026)
The City would like you to be a part of our planning process for the City's 5-year Consolidated Plan (2025-2029) and Annual Action Plan (2025-2026) on how to allocate federal funds from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The Con Plan prioritizes the housing and community development needs of the City’s low- and moderateincome residents over the next five years.

For this, the City of Monterey invites you to share your input by taking a survey. The survey closes on January 31, 2025. For more information, please visit: https://haveyoursaymonterey.org/cdbg-conplan Council Special Meeting, 7/23/2025, Item No. 1., Item Page 243, Packet Page 246 What is the survey for? The City
of Monterey receives
approximately $250,000 from
U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD)
each year for the Community
Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Program. Combined
with program income from
previous activities, the City
typically has access to about
$1 million for housing and
community development
activities.

The funding is used for public social services programs, capital improvement and housing projects for individuals meeting low- and mid-income requirements as defined by HUD. The City wants you to have a voice in how these grant dollars are invested for low- and midincome residents.

Proud to Support Military Spouses
Military spouses are often highly
educated, exceptionally qualified job
candidates who cannot find meaningful
employment due to periodically moving
to support their spouses' military service.

We recently became a partner in the

Employment Partnership. MSEP provides multiple avenues for engagement between spouses and potential employers and the City is proud to have achieved the highest possible rating of "Highly Engaged," due to our consistent effort to make sure our job opportunities are shared with our local military spouse community.

• HUD requirements to be eligible for affordable housing are too restrictive. • Transit oriented housing would be good since it is difficult to get around with current limited transportation.
• Unmet utilities needs for Monterey.
• Public services for seniors should include vegetation management for fire protection. • Upkeep for sidewalks, including tree root removal is needed, especially for seniors. • Knowledge of public services is needed.
• Property owners don’t want a rental portal because they get to keep the application fees. • For the homeless, there is a connection about lack of housing that allows pets.

• Funding Amount for Impactful Program
o CDBG grant is really difficult to fill out
o The administration requirements from HUD are very extensive o If program is scalable, the amount needed can go up and down o Any funding would be helpful and is appreciated
o There is frustration with the City’s website and data information o Rapid rehousing programs are up against really expensive landlord requirements (can be upwards of $10,000); however any amount helps.

Comments
• All needs are relevant
o Housing rehab is a way to prevent homelessness
o New housing stock is needed
• Homelessness prevention is needed
• Parks is the most “democratic” option; good investment because they can be used by all ages • Libraries are good to get youth engaged.
• Lots of streets that don’t have sidewalks. People have to pay for sidewalks to be installed in front of their house.
• Affordable legal services are needed.
• Lot of people who have second jobs.
• Affordable legal services should include family law, immigration services and domestic violence services
• Clients sometimes can’t afford legal services.
• Can CDBG funds be used for the Gap project since it is in a lower-income neighborhood and involves ADA improvements?
• Centralized rental application portal – has been worked on in the past but hasn’t happened yet.

People can spend $1,000 just on rental application fees.

Resident Survey
Consolidated Plan (Fiscal Year 2025-2029) And Annual Action Plan (Fiscal Year 2025-2026) What Are the Housing and Community Development Needs In Your Neighborhood? • The City of Monterey receives approximately $250,000 from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) each year for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.

Combined with program income from previous activities, the City typically has access to about $1 million for housing and community development activities.
• The funding is used for public social services programs, capital improvement and housing projects for individuals meeting low- and mid-income requirements as defined by HUD. • The City wants you to have a voice in how these grant dollars are invested for low- and mid-income residents.
