2026-27 Annual Action Plan
2 Introduction
The City of Mountain View (City) annually receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds from the federal U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As an “entitlement jurisdiction” rec eiving these grant funds, the City is required to prepare a Consolidated Plan every five years, which identifies the City’s priority housing and community development needs and goals.
As required by HUD, the City’s 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan was developed through analysis of housing market data , needs of low - and moderate -income populations, and stakeholder and resident consultations. The City collaborated with Santa Clara County (County) and other local governments receiving HUD block grants (“entitlement jurisdictions”) in the development of the Consolidated Plan. The 2025-30 Consolidated Plan was approved by the City Council on May 13, 2025, and was approved by HUD in September 2025.
The Consolidated Plan is implemented through the Annual Action Plans, which identify how the City invests its annual funding allocations to achieve it s housing and community development priorities and goals. Progress in advancing these goals is also evaluated annually in the City’s Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
Fiscal Year 2026-27 Annual Action Plan
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Annual Action Plan marks the second year of th e 2025-30 Consolidated Plan and comprises the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 . It describes the specific activities and projects that the City will allocate CDBG and HOME funds to for a given fiscal year, along with the funding amounts and performance goals for those activities. The budget for the Annual Action Plan is composed of annual funding allocations, program income, and prior year resources, which are CDBG and HOME funds from prior years that were not expended.
How to Read this Annual Action Plan
The Annual Action Plan as required by HUD has numerous sections that contain information and narrative. Each section has a HUD -required alphanumeric identifier, for example (AP-#). The entire plan follows the format prescribed by HUD with bold lettering denoting the HUD- prescribed questions.
2026-27 Annual Action Plan
3 AP-05 Executive Summary—24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Mountain View (City or Mountain View) is a moderately sized jurisdiction located in the northern part of Santa Clara County. The City physically spans just over 12 square miles and has a total population of approximately 8 6,000. The City is also in the heart of Silicon Valley, an area renowned for its technology -based business sector , and Mountain View is home to some of the largest tech companies in the nation. Many workers in the technology industry command high wages, allowing them to afford the high cost of housing in the City and region.
However, market-rate housing is out of reach for low - and moderate-income households and families. Much of the local and regional workforce is employed in lower -paying jobs and industries, such as food preparation and service, retail, property maintenance and care, emergency services, and education . In addition, households with special needs have additional challenges in finding housing with supportive services to meet their needs. As a result, lower-income and special needs households in Mountain View e xperience a significant housing burden, may live in overcrowded or substandard conditions, or may be displaced from the City if they cannot afford rising housing costs.
CDBG and HOME Funding
The City is an “ entitlement jurisdiction” because it receives CDBG and HOME funding directly from HUD. The City invests these funds in housing and community development- related activities to support lower -income individuals and households and/or those with special needs.
CDBG funding helps jurisdictions address their community development needs to support neighborhood revitalization, economic development, improved housing opportunities, and community services . Examples of eligible CDBG activities include public services, public facility, and infrastructure projects ( capital improvement projects), affordable housing development, housing rehabilitation, energy efficiency improvements, and job creation/retention activities.
1 These eligible activities are principally focused on addressing the needs of the HUD -defined low- and moderate-income ( “LMI”) households in the community. LMI households are those whose income do es not exceed 80% of the family area median income (AMI) with adjustments for household size.
1 The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development “CDBG Entitlement Program Eligibility Requirements”:
hudexchange.info/programs/cdbg-entitlement/cdbg-entitlement-program-eligibility-requirements. 2026-27 Annual Action Plan
4 HOME funding is intended to be used for various housing -related programs and activities that address the housing needs of low- and very low- income households . Examples of eligible HOME activities include addressing housing needs through the preservation or creation of affordable housing, homebuyer assistance, and tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA).2
To receive this federal funding, the City must complete an annual Action Plan using a HUD-mandated template; this report follows that required structure for the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Action Plan, including standardized prompts, tables, and formats.
2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview
In the context of HUD, a program year (PY) is defined as the 12-month period from July 1 through June 30 of each year. For example, “FY 2026-27 Annual Action Plan” and “PY 2026” are synonymous and are interchangeable used throughout this document. For PY 2026, the City assumed that the funding amount would be similar to the PY 2025 amount received last year. Therefore, the objectives and outcomes for this Annual Action Plan is based on an estimated $617,916 in CDBG and $230,385 in HOME funding that the City will receive for PY 2026.
These funds will be allocated to address the following priority needs and goals, which were identified in the City’s 2025-30 Consolidated Plan, as follows:
a. Increase Affordable Housing;
b. Respond to Homelessness;
c. Support Public Services;
d. Promote Economic Vitality; and
e. Enhance Public Infrastructure.
For information on how these priority needs will be addressed in this Annual Action Plan, see Sections AP-20, AP-35, and AP-38 below.
3. Evaluation of past performance
In FY 2025-26, the City responded to the needs of LMI residents by funding activities with CDBG and HOME. Such activities include public services that assist persons experiencing or

2026-27 Annual Action Plan
5 at risk of experiencing homelessness, seniors, persons with disabilities, and youths. Below are the public service programs that the City funded with CDBG funding:
• Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County—Long-Term Care Ombudsman program; • Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto—Housing Legal Services Program; • Community Services Agency—Services for homeless and homeless prevention; • Community Services Agency—Senior services case management; • Day Worker Center—Education, skills, and jobs placement; • LifeMoves—MTV Housing Specialist;
• Senior Adults Legal Assistance—Legal services for seniors; • Silicon Valley Independent Living Center—Services for residents with disabilities; and • Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired—Services for the blind.
The City also funded an organization that supports small businesses and economic vitality:
• Upwards BOOST—A program that provide s technical assistance to LMI microenterprise businesses in the City that provide childcare services.
In addition, the City funded capital projects to create more affordable housing opportunities for the City’s LMI residents. Some examples include the following:
• Lot 12 Affordable Housing Project —The City is redeveloping this Downtown public parking lot into 120 units of affordable housing, and has committed $23.45 million to the project, including HOME funds, in addition to contributing the full value of the land to support project feasibility. The project will include units affordable to households earning up to 60% AMI, and will have rapid rehousing units, permanent supportive housing units, and units for the intellectually/developmentally disabled.
Construction began in early March 2026 , and will take approximately two years to complete.
• Monte Vista Terrace Affordable Housing Rehabilitation—The City allocated CDBG funds for rehabilitation projects at Monte Vista Terrace, an existing affordable housing development located in the City that is owned and operated by MidPen Housing. The project s include a roof replacement and elevator modernization that will help to maintain livability for the LMI residents and preserve the City’s affordable housing stock.
• Rebuilding Together Peninsula Minor Home Repair Program—Provided home repairs to eligible LMI Mountain View homeowners to improve the safety, livability, and/or physical accessibility of their homes.
2026-27 Annual Action Plan
6 The City successfully funded these types of activities during the previous Annual Action Plan year and expects the need for such services and projects to continue for Fiscal Year 2026-
27. As a result, CDBG and HOME funds will continue supporting public services, economic development activities, and affordable housing projects.
As a part of the HUD requirements, the City completes a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) at the end of each fiscal year. The CAPER summarizes what was accomplished using CDBG and HOME funding for that year . For more information on past performance, the City’s CAPER reports can be found on the City’s website here:
MountainView.gov/our-City/departments/housing/federal-grants-program/caper.
4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
Per the federal notification requirements and the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan, the City has solicited public input throughout the development of the FY 2026-27 Annual Action Plan (AAP). On February 19, 2026, a public notice was published in the Palo Alto Daily Post, the local newspaper of general circulation, announcing the availability of the draft FY 2026-27 AAP for a 30-day public comment period from March 29, 2026 to April 28, 2026. The notice also included information about two public hearings, which were held at the March 5, 2026 Human Relations Committee (HRC) meeting, and the April 28, 2026 City Council meeting.
The public notice was also translated in Spanish, Chinese, and Russian, and posted to the City’s website at https://www.mountainview.gov/our -city/departments/housing. The draft Annual Action Plan was posted on the City’s website on March 27, 2026. Physical copies of the draft Annual Action Plan were also available for public review during normal working hours at the City’s Housing Department at 500 Castro Street, Mountain View, CA 94041.
Notices about the public hearing s and comment period were also sent to the Housing Interest List, which includes individuals and groups, such as public service and nonprofit agencies, affordable housing developers and property managers, and public agencies such as the County and the Santa Clara County Housing Authority.
5. Summary of public comments

1. Introduction
This section summarizes the City’s efforts to engage and collaborate with public and private agencies, service providers, community organizations, and other stakeholders used to gather input on housing and community development needs, ensure alignment with local priorities and federal requirements. and develop a comprehensive strategy for allocating HUD funds.
The section also highlights coordination with agencies responsible for affordable housing, Continuum of Care (CoC) organizations addressing homelessness, health organizations, economic development agencies, and others . The section details how feedback was gathered, identifies gaps in service coordination, and discusses strategies to enhance collaboration among entities to maximize the benefits of HUD-funded programs.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction ’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies (91.215(I)).
The City regularly coordinates or partners with other participating jurisdictions in the region. A cohort of entitlement jurisdictions in the County meet monthly to share information, discuss policies and programs, and coordinate housing efforts in the community. Many of these jurisdictions fund the same public and social service agencies that operate C ountywide—such as those providing homelessness services, food security, or mental health support. To reduce duplication of effort and improve efficiency, these jurisdictions often coordinate monitoring, reporting, and oversight activities for shared service providers. This collaborative approach allows jurisdictions to pool resources, share best practices and streamline compliance efforts, saving valuable staff time and improving consistency in service delivery.
City staff from the Housing Department and Community Development Department also participate in the Santa Clara County Collaborative (SCC), a collaborative housing planning and policy initiative that includes all cities in the County plus the County organization itself.
The collaborative convenes monthly and serves as forum for sharing resources, successful strategies, and Best Practices around housing policies. The City also coordinates its efforts with housing providers, health providers and service providers.
Additionally, staff from the City ’s Human Services Division coordinates with external partners on a wide range of programs and services such as those related to childcare, 2026-27 Annual Action Plan
10 mental health services, minimum wage, and homelessness programs and services. External partners include the County, nonprofits, and community-based organizations.
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 HUD created the Continuum of Care (CoC) program to support coordinated efforts by nonprofit organizations and state and local governments to end homelessness . In the County, the CoC is a broad coalition of stakeholders —including government agencies, service providers, and advocates —working collectively to prevent and end homelessness .
The CoC is responsible for overseeing systemwide planning, ensuring program effectiveness, and implementing strategies such as Coordinated Entry to match individuals experiencing homelessness with appropriate community resources.
The County of Santa Clara serves as the lead agency for the CoC and leads the planning, coordination, and distribution of funding for homeless programs and services Countywide.
This includes managing the County of Santa Clara Supportive Housing System, a coordinated, systemwide response that integrates CoC strategies and aligns local efforts to address homelessness.
The City is one of many jurisdictions and organizations that interface with the County ’s Supportive Housing System . While the City does not have direct access to the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) —a HUD -required database used to collect, manage, and report client -level information about individuals and families experiencing homelessness—it does receive data and analysis from HMIS through the County. City staff works closely with County HMIS staff to better understand local homelessness trends and identify opportunities for improved service coordination and resource allocation.
Through participation in this regional system, the City contributes to addressing the needs of people experiencing homelessness, including chronically homeless individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth, and those at risk of homelessness.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies, and procedures for the administration of HMIS.
The County is not an Emergency Solutions Grant ( ESG) entitlement jurisdiction —a HUD program that provides funding for homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing —and, therefore, does not consult with the Continuum of Care (CoC) in this specific context.

45 AP-60 Public Housing—91.220(h)
Introduction
This section is not applicable as the City does not own or operate public housing, nor does the Santa Clara County Housing Authority ( SCCHA). However, SCCHA has implemented several initiatives to increase resident involvement, particularly through its Moving to Work (MTW) Annual Plans . The MTW program is a federal demonstration program that allows greater flexibility to design and implement more innovative approaches for providing housing assistance.
SCCHA is currently in the process of updating its Strate gic Plan. The updated plan will promote informed decision- making about how to achieve overall objectives in support of the agency’s mission. Until the update is completed the SCCHA will continue to utilize its current MTW Strategic Pan.
Additionally, SCCHA has significantly expanded and preserved the local affordable housing supply. During the 2020 -2025 Strategic Plan period, SCCHA added 813 newly constructed or acquired affordable units, secured entitlements for an additional 662 units, and preserved approximately 1,600 units through strategic acquisitions and recapitalizations. SCCHA currently owns and manages 3,500 affordable housing units, with approximately 1,300 additional units in its active development pipeline, including family housing, senior housing, permanent supportive housing, and housing for transitional-age youth and formerly unhoused residents. SCCHA assists approximately 20,000 households through the Housing Choice Voucher program.
The Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) Program fosters active resident participation in setting and achieving personal and financial goals. Through this voluntary five-year program, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) participants work with SCCHA case managers to develop individualized plans that may include completing education, obtaining job training, or securing employment. Participants benefit from financial incentives, such as escrow savings accounts that grow as their earned income increases. These funds are m ade available to families upon program completion, providing both motivation and a financial foundation for long-term self-sufficiency.
According to SCCHA’s MTW FY 2019 Plan, 232 residents were actively enrolled in the FSS program at that time. This initiative exemplifies how SCCHA engages residents in shaping their futures and provides meaningful opportunities for self- advocacy, skill de velopment, and financial growth.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing.
Not applicable. There are no public housing units in the City. However, SCCHA has provided Project-Based Vouchers (PBVs) to existing projects and have conditionally awarded additional vouchers to several projects under development by affordable housing developers in Mountain View.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons and 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.
Mountain View will continue to support the City’s Safe Parking program, which provides an additional housing resource, relieves pressure on the County ’s shelter system and connects households with effective case management.
2026-27 Annual Action Plan
48 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.

49 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing—91.220(j)
Introduction
The Cit y’s 2023-2031 Housing Element identified nongovernmental and governmental constraints to affordable housing development, including:
• Market and economic conditions
• Lack of funding
• Land use policies
• Certain zoning regulations and development standards
• Approval and processing times
Other nongovernmental constraints to affordable housing are summarized below.
Availability of financing. The availability of financing can have a direct impact on housing supply and costs. Specifically, high interest rates can make it more expensive to build, purchase, and improve homes, while restrictive lending terms can make it difficult for households to qualify for financing. It is particularly challenging for affordable housing developers building fully affordable rental projects, which require the assembly of multiple funding sources which is a complex, time- consuming proce ss; however, this is a widespread issue and is not unique to Mountain View context. To address this constraint, the City provides low -cost financing to affordable housing projects to help fill funding gaps.
Land costs. Land costs are high across the County and in Mountain View, but can vary based on location, lot size, zoning, availability of existing infrastructure, and other factors. The City’s Housing Element note s that, “recent sales of sites in Mountain View that are zoned for multi - family residential development indicate that typical land prices for multi- family sites are approximately $13 million per acre. Affordable housing developers consulted as part of the Housing Element update process reported that a land cost of $100,000 per unit or more is not unusual in the Mountain View market.”
Construction costs. Construction costs have increased substantially over the past several years and are often cited as a key barrier to the production of housing. The Housing Element cited that in late 2021, development costs for multi -family units often total $550,000 per u nit or more, before including the cost of land. One affordable housing developer reported that it is difficult to build an affordable unit in Silicon Valley for less than $700,000 per unit, including the cost of land, and that the cost of one recent project in Mountain View exceeded $1 million per unit.
Actions planned to remove or to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing , such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning 2026-27 Annual Action Plan
50 ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment.
The City’s 2023- 31 Housing Element includes several programs and policies for the City to undertake to reduce barriers and address government constraints on affordable housing development, including:
• Eliminate minimum parking standards for residential in transit -oriented areas, affordable housing developments, and other cases (Program 1.2);
• Review and update ordinance and Precise Plan Residential Standards to ensure they reflect contemporary building types, improve ease of implementation, and improve consistency across districts (Program 1.3);
• Park Land Ordinance update to identify where fee reductions can be made (Program 1.8) • Continue to implement the City’s local density bonus programs (Program 1.10); • Subsidize and support affordable housing programs (Program 2.1); • Development streamlining and processing revisions to reduce planning and building permit review timelines to address constraints resulting from the duration of staff review (Program
4.1);
• Advocate for, propose, and shape legislation at the federal and state levels that increase the ability to develop affordable housing, prevent displacement, and remove impediments to accessing housing; support regional funding measure to support affordable housing (Program 4.2);
• Examine new revenue sources and increases to existing sources to support subsidized housing (Program 4.3); and
• Work with the private sector, philanthropy, and public agencies to bring in additional funding sources to support a range of affordable housing opportunities (Program 4.4).
Housing Element policies that support addressing affordable housing barriers include:
• Periodically evaluate the City’s development standards, review processes and, if necessary, remove unnecessary barriers to quality housing for all income levels (Policy 1.5); • Provide incentives, such as reduced parking standards and/or reductions in other development standards and fees, to facilitate the development of housing that is affordable to lower- and moderate-income households (Policy 1.6);
• Initiate and maintain programs to assist extremely low -, very low -, low-, and moderate - income households in accessing affordable rental and ownership units (Policy 2.1); and • Advocate for additional s tate, regional, and private funding for affordable housing and affordable housing programs (Policy 4.1).

51 AP-85 Other Actions—91.220(k)
Introduction
This section discusses the City ’s efforts to address underserved needs, expand and preserve affordable housing, reduce lead -based paint hazards, and develop an institutional structure to deliver housing and community development activities.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City supplements its CDBG and HOME funding with other resources and funds to meet the underserved needs of low and moderate-income households and individuals in the City. The City Council approves an annual allocation from the General Fund to further support public service activities. During PY 2026, $171,000 of General Fund dollars will be appropriated to nonprofit organizations that program case management, health care, meals/healthy food, and child enrichment to low-income Mountain View residents.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
To foster and maintain affordable housing, the City supplements its CDBG funding with local funds, such as the BMR affordable housing program and housing impact fees to facilitate the development of affordable housing.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City requires that properties built before 1978 that use CDBG or HOME funds, or which are not exempt under the Residential Lead- Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, undergo testing for lead-based paint (LBP). Properties that test positive must have appropriate reduction and abatement procedures implemented. The City informs all CDBG and HOME subrecipients carrying out rehabilitation or acquisition activities, who in turn inform their beneficiaries, of the dangers of lead -based paint and the requi rements for lead abatement. The City or its subrecipients also inspect for defective paint on projects being rehabilitated or acquired with CDBG or HOME funds in compliance with the City’s Lead-Based Paint Management Plan, which it uses to carry out CDBG and HOME funded projects.
At the County level, the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) offers services to reduce LBP hazards . These include outreach and education, public health nurse case management and environmental investigations, resources and referrals for children who require lead testing, and investigation of complaints of unsafe work practices and lead hazards . The relatively low number of elevated blood lead level cases in the County suggests that these measures are effective.
2026-27 Annual Action Plan
52 Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
In addition to providing General Fund dollars to supplement the CDBG public services allocation, the City will use CDBG to fund economic development programs that focus on job training, skill development, and small business assistance for low-income households.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
Santa Clara County and the City ha ve a well-developed regional and local institutional structure to implement housing and community development activities. The City is implementing its 2025- 2030 Consolidated Plan, which includes the 2026-27 Annual Action Plan, through a network of nonprofit organizations, public -private partnerships, such as Destination: Home, and collaboration with County agencies and other jurisdictions . According to the Consolidated Plan goals and objectives, the City allocates CDBG and HOME funds to nonprofit agencies and affordable housing developers.
The City will continue to work with its external partners , nonprofits, businesses, and philanthropic organizations, on a multi -sectoral approach to identify funding resources and programs to meet the City ’s housing and public service needs. The City will also work with the State and federal governments to secure additional funding needed to help meet the community’s housing and public service needs. These efforts have been discussed in prior section of this AAP.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City benefits from a strong local and regional network of housing and community development partners, such as the County. To enhance intergovernmental and private sector coordination, the City participates with other local jurisdictions and developers in sharing information and resources. Collaborative efforts include regular quarterly meetings among the entitlement jurisdictions and coordination on project management for projects funded by multiple jurisdictions. The City also holds a developer roun dtable on a periodic basis to share information with residential developers.
