Durin
g the five-year Consolidated Plan period (Fiscal Years 2025/26–2029/30), the City of Napa anticipates receiving approximately $3 million in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), averaging an annual allocation of approximately $600,000. These funds will be used to support a range of eligible housing, public services, and community development activities that benefit low- and moderate-income residents and neighborhoods. On October 14, 2025, Napa received an additional $868,421 in program in
come funds that are not related to the revolving loan fund.
In
addition to CDBG, the City expects to leverage several other funding sources to address local housing and community development needs, including:
·
Affordable Housing Impact Fee Fund – Generated from developer fees and dedicated to supporting affordable housing development and preservation.
·
1% Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) for Affordable and Workforce Housing – A dedicated local ATTACHMENT 2

e stream from lodging taxes used to support new affordable housing initiatives. ·
Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) – State funding to support housing-related activities such as production, preservation, and supportive services. ·
HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) – Administered by the City of Napa Housing Division, to support affordable housing development and rehabilitation. ·
Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs) – Administered by the Housing Authority of the City of Napa, providing rental assistance to extremely low-income households. ·
General Fund Contributions – Staff time and discretionary funds used to support housing, homelessness services, and public infrastructure improvements. ·
Other State and Federal Programs – Including potential grants from CalHFA, HCD, and other competitive sources, such as ESG, Homekey, or Low-Income Housing Tax Credits.
Despit
e this diverse range of funding mechanisms, insufficient funding levels remain a critical challenge.
The identified needs for increased affordable housing production, homelessness response, and infrastructure upgrades exceeds available funding. Local agencies and partners continue to collaborate on maximizing leverage and aligning investments, but funding shortages continue to be the most significant barrier to fully meeting the housing and community development goals outlined in this Consolidated Plan.

Expl
ain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied Many
of the activities that the City of Napa intends to fund through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program require supplemental financing from other public and private sources. CDBG funds are allocated to leverage local, state, and federal resources to maximize the impact of investments in public infrastructure, affordable housing, housing rehabilitation, emergency shelter operations, and community services.
Over the five-year Consolidated Plan period, the City plans to use CDBG funds to fill funding gaps in projects that could also be supported by:
· Local sources- such as the City’s Affordable Housing Impact Fee Fund and 1% TOT (Transient Occupancy Tax) for Affordable and Workforce Housing, which support development and preservation of housing for low- and moderate-income households;
· State funds- including the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC), Homekey, Prohousing Incentive Program (PIP), Homeless Housing And Prevention (HHAP), and program income from CalHome, used for affordable housing, homeless housing and prevention, emergency shelter operation, housing rehabilitation and first-time homebuyer assistance;
· Federal sources- such as the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, administered by the City of Napa Housing Division which supports affordable housing construction and acquisition; · Private sector investments and nonprofit contributions- These funds are usually assembled by affordable housing developers for development projects with multiple funding layers.
For housing rehabilitation, the City operates a loan and grant program funded by both CDBG and CalHome program income. While these sources are not typically co-mingled at the project level, they are used concurrently to serve different households based on programmatic requirements.. This allows the City t
o maximize the number of households served and reduce the long-term costs of housing maintenance and displacement.
Affordable housing development projects funded with CDBG often serve as a component of a larger funding mix, including federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), PLHA, HOME, and local gap financing from the Affordable Housing Impact Fee Fund. These projects frequently involve public-private partnerships, and CDBG funds are essential in acquisition, improving site readiness, infrastructure, or servic
e access.
The 1% TOT is designed to support housing for households earning up to 120% of the Area Median ATTACHMENT 2

In
come (AMI). While this funding extends beyond HUD’s CDBG income eligibility threshold, it is often used in mixed-income projects where CDBG can support low- and moderate-income units within a broader development.
The City does not currently receive federal grants with formal matching requirements under CDBG.
However, the City’s strategy emphasizes leveraging all available resources, and matching is met on a project-by-project basis through developer contributions, local funding, and layered financing when applicable.

If
appropriate, describe publicallypublicly owned land or property located within the ju
risdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The Cit
y of Napa is actively utilizing its publicly owned assets to address housing needs. An example is the 2.75-acre parcel at 3875 Jefferson Street, acquired using the 1% Transient Occupancy Tax dedicated to Affordable and Workforce Housing. Through a competitive RFP process, the City is inviting proposals for affordable housing developments where at least 75% of the units serve households earning at or below 80% of AMI aligning with the Surplus Lands Act exemption requirements.
Additionally, the City and County are monitoring statewide legislative opportunities that could expand development capacity on publicly or institutionally owned land. For instance, the Affordable Housing on Faith and Higher Education Lands Act (SB 4) streamlines permitting and promotes by-right development of affordable housing on land owned by faith-based or nonprofit educational institutions, potentially enabling future collaborations at such sites.

scribe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The Cit
y of Napa determined allocation priorities based on information presented in the Consolidated Plan along with insights staff learned regarding evolving community needs over the past year. In addition, the City considered the level of resources available from the CDBG program and the potential to leverage these funds to support a range of activities, along with the availability of additional funding sources to address various needs. The allocation priorities in the First Year Annual Action Plan are consistent with priorities outlined in the Consolidated Plan.
A shortage of funding is expected to constitute the primary obstacle to addressing underserved needs in Napa. As shown in the Strategic Plan portion of the Consolidated Plan, the City of Napa has identified 22 goals for the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan planning period but does not anticipate having the funding necessary to allocate resources toward each of these goals. However, the City continues to search for additional funding sources to support housing and community development goals and apply for funding as appropriate.

De
scription of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The Cit
y of Napa does not allocate CDBG funds based on geographic priority areas. To the extent that activities funded through CDBG serve a particular geographic area, these activities are located in lower- income Census Tracts, according to CDBG regulations (i.e. low/moderate income area benefit). In recent years, these types of activities have consisted of improvements to sidewalks and parks in low-income Census tracts. In addition, Napa allocates funds to organizations that provide housing and services to low- and moderate-income persons based on CDBG program regulations (low/moderate income limited clientele). This has included funding allocated to facilities and organizations providing services to homeless individuals and victims of domestic violence, child facilities, as well as to support fair housing activities.

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The Cit
y of Napa addresses homelessness on an ongoing basis in coordination with the Napa City-County Continuum of Care. As a part of these efforts, the City of Napa holds contracts for and seeks out funding to support a variety of street outreach, intervention, and prevention and diversion programs. Napa’s one-year goals and projects specified in the Fifth Year Annual Action Plan support these efforts by providing operational support to the Catholic Charities’ Rainbow House Family Shelter, which offers outreach, assessment, and referral to households experiencing homelessness. In addition, the Fifth Year Annual Action Plan includes funding for a Spanish-speaking counselor at the NEWS domestic violence shelter. The City continues to utilize General Fund money to leverage support for operational expenses of the South Napa Shelter and operates the North Napa Center as a secondary shelter through the Encampment Resolution Funding Grant.
Addres
sing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Fi
rst Year Annual Action Plan allocates funding to provide support to the Catholic Charities’ Rainbow House Family Shelter and NEWS domestic violence shelter, both of which support the City’s ongoing efforts to address emergency and transitional housing needs in Napa. The City of Napa also engages in ongoing activities to address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons through participation in the Continuum of Care and by maintaining close networks with agencies that provide emergency and transitional housing to Napa residents. Additionally, the City ensures that local policies facilitate the development of emergency and transitional housing. Furthermore, the City, Housing Authority, and County have worked with outside consultants to redesign the community’s homeless system in order to implement national best practices including a housing-focused approach.
The changes to the system began implementation in Fiscal Year 2017-2018 and have continued to evolve into an operational model. The changes implemented to date include a new homeless shelter system operator, 24-hour services at the South Napa Shelter, a change of location for the family homeless shelter, enhanced case management, a new vision for the street outreach and intervention teams, the opening of a non-congregate homeless shelter, and consolidated and easier access to services.

lping 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
Al
ong with the City of Napa, there are a number of agencies in and near Napa that provide assistance to help homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing, as detailed in section MA-30 of the Consolidated Plan. The City engages in ongoing coordination with these agencies, in part through participation in the Napa County Continuum of Care.
This Annual Plan allocates funding to the Catholic Charities' Rainbow House Family Shelter, On The Move, and NEWS domestic violence shelter, all three agencies provide services to assist individuals and households transition from homelessness to permanent housing. The City’s ability to further support services for people transitioning from homelessness is somewhat limited by funding constraints, including the CDBG program’s 15 percent cap on public services spending. However, as described above, the City, Housing Authority, and County have redesigned the community’s housing and shelter system to shorten shelter stays, increase the number of homeless households leaving shelters for permanent housing, and increase households’ capacity to remain in their housing, focusing on prevention before homelessness occurs.
In addition to services that are tailored specifically for households transitioning from homelessness, access to affordable housing is critical in ensuring homeless individuals and families transition from homelessness. Although Napa’s First Year Annual Action Plan does not allocate CDBG funds to support the construction of new affordable units, the City uses its Affordable Housing Impact Fee Fund, One Percent TOT for Affordable and Workforce Housing, and other funding sources to provide financial support to affordable developments. In the Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the City completed one new permanent supportive housing project that provides 44 units to low-income households placed through the County’s Coordinated Entry System. In Fiscal Year 2023-2024, a 54-unit permanent supportive housing project assisting low-income households became available for occupancy. Both projects require precise coordination between the developer, City, Housing Authority, County, funders, and service providers. In Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the City completed an additional housing project that provides 90-units to households.
Napa also ensures that City ordinances and policies are designed to facilitate affordable housing production and remove constraints to the development of affordable housing. Programs to address the City’s affordable housing needs are discussed in greater detail elsewhere in the Consolidated Plan and in the City’s Housing Element.

The Cit
y implements a number of policies and programs to provide access to affordable housing, which is essential to prevent homelessness among at-risk households, as detailed elsewhere in this document and in the City’s Housing Element. Ongoing actions that the City of Napa engages in to provide access to affordable housing include, but are not limited to:
Operating the Section 8 HCV program through the HACN; Providing rental assistance through the HACN Family Unification Program, which can be used by youth aging out of foster care and by families at-risk of losing their children due to lack of housing or risk of homelessness;
Adopting land use and other regulations that support the development of affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing; and Providing financial support for affordable housing activities, including using available funding sources to provide financial support to assist in the development of new affordable housing and housing for at-risk populations or populations with special needs. The City has launched a pilot diversion and prevention program to assist with stabilizing households to prevent homelessness and or reducing the amount of time a client experiences homelessness if they can be connected with stable housing resources.
Many extremely low-income and special needs households may require specific services to avoid becoming homeless. Sections MA-30 and MA-35 of the Consolidated Plan detail services available to households in Napa that are at risk of becoming homeless, many of which are supported in part through coordination between the City and other organizations. In addition, the First Year Annual Action Plan allocates funding to support fair housing activities, which can assist in preventing wrongful evictions and discriminatory housing practices that could result in homelessness. A shortage of funding constitutes the primary barrier to helping low-income individuals and families to avoid becoming homeless.

Int

The Cit
y of Napa engages in ongoing efforts to ensure that local policies generally support the production of both market-rate and affordable housing and remove constraints to residential investment. In accordance with State law, the City of Napa adopted a Housing Element Update in early 2023 that details how the jurisdiction will plan for affordable housing, including an analysis of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing and specific actions that the City will take to remove any barriers. The City’s Housing Element has been approved by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (see Section MA-40 of the Consolidated Plan). The Housing Element includes actions that the City will take to further support affordable housing through City policies, as discussed below.
Act
ions 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
The Cit
y of Napa’s 2023-2031 Housing Element includes the following programs to remove barriers to the provision of new and rehabilitated affordable housing:
Identification of 86 sites to meet Napa’s Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) goal of 2,669 new units for the planning period (which includes 1,806 units for extremely low to moderate income households). The Housing Element indicates these 86 sites have a combined development capacity of over 3,500 housing units (32% over RHNA). Adoption of the Napa 2040 General Plan, which designated numerous additional mixed-use sites that allow for multifamily housing.
Increase in residential density allowances throughout the City to encourage residential development.
Zoning and Municipal Code amendments to implement new mixed-use development standards outlined in the General Plan
Numerous additional policies and programs in the City of Napa’s Housing Element work together to reduce barriers to affordable housing.
During the planning period of this plan, the City will reassess potential barriers to affordable housing and strategies to address any barriers as part of the Housing Element Update for the 2032-2039 Housing Element planning period.

The Cit
y of Napa has a number of policies already in place and additional planned actions to foster and maintain affordable housing during the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year as well as in subsequent years. Ongoing and planned future actions to support the development and preservation of affordable housing are detailed in the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element and throughout the 2025-2035 Consolidated Plan.
These actions include, but are not limited to:
Identification of sites for affordable housing, including sites zoned to densities sufficient to make affordable housing development feasible;

While NapaThe City does not plans to use CDBG funds to support the construction of one new afford
able housing rental project units units during the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year, the. The City does also in
tends to use other available resources to support the development of affordable housing as well. The City expec
ts to havehas approximately $8.91 million in its Housing Impact Fee Fund by as June April 3022,
20252026, approximately $4.87.1 million of which is reserved for loans to support affordable hous
ing in Napa. The City also anticipates havinghas approximately $9.57.9 million available from its On
e Percent TOT for Affordable and Workforce Housing by as of June April 22, 30, 20252026, ap
proximately with approximately $264,0003.7 million of which is reserved for loans to support afford
able and workforce housing in Napa. As additional revenues accrue to the City from these and other sources, the City will make these funds available to support affordable housing activities, including new construction and preservation, on an ongoing basis.
The City’s Housing Impact Fee revenues depend on Napa construction activity, while the One Percent TOT Fund funding from local hotels is affected by spending at local hotels, both of which are somewhat dependent on local economic activity. TOT funds were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic effects on tourism and lodging. While construction may not be as affected in the near term, Napa can expect a decrease in construction activity due to ongoing economic volatility, reducing demand for new commercial space and market-rate residential units. Consequently, the City may collect less revenue than expected until economic conditions improve.
As shown throughout the Consolidated Plan, the City continues to apply CDBG funds to support housing rehabilitation for low- and moderate-income households during the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year and in future years. The City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program helps to preserve existing units and allows low- and moderate-income households to remain in their homes.
Act
ions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As d
iscussed in section SP-65 of the Consolidated Plan, Napa operates a Lead Based Paint Abatement Program as part of the City’s Rehabilitation Loan Program. The First Year Annual Action Plan will continue to implement housing rehabilitation activities, as discussed in sections AP-35 and AP-38 above, and the Lead Based Paint Abatement Program will continue to be incorporated into City-funded housing rehabilitation activities. All low- and moderate-income residents of Napa are eligible for the program and lead based paint testing.

The City of Napa addresses poverty through affordable housing policies and economic development efforts, aiming to provide stable living environments and job opportunities for low-income households.
In addition to programs and policies that are implemented by City agencies, the City of Napa addresses poverty through close coordination with governmental and nonprofit service agencies that provide permanent supportive housing and services that address barriers to overcoming poverty. Relevant services available through other governmental or non-profit agencies include job training, assistance with finding employment, low-cost or subsidized childcare, life skills training, mental health services, and drug and alcohol counseling, as detailed in sections MA-30 and MA-35 of the Consolidated Plan. The City and other agencies that serve low-income households and homeless individuals and families provide cross-referrals to ensure that residents are aware of all available services and potential housing opportunities.
