Apartments; reported an estimated quarterly spending of $2.18 million and spoke of special programs; provided information regarding their waiting list, noted that Redondo Beach residents are their first priority on the list, which was closed in 2015.
Chair Light asked if the list has been checked to make sure it is current since it closed in 2015.
Housing Manager Delgado stated they do an annual purge of the waiting list; explained that letters are sent and if unresponsive they are taken off the list; continued the presentation and reported that the HUD Portfolio Management Specialist projected a funding shortfall; explained their next steps are mainly corrective actions to combat the shortfall expected; provided more details on their corrective measures which included:
Administrative plan updates, implementation of HUD shortfall guidelines, contingency planning, and independent financial review; recommendation is to receive and file the quarterly status report on the Section 8 Program.
Community Services Director Hause stated they are already taking steps to make sure the delta in funding versus obligations is minimized if not eliminated; assured Council that everyone currently on a voucher will not be impacted and they don’t have to drop anybody off the list.
Member Castle asked if the program has always operated on a shortfall.
Community Services Director Hause stated RB has been fortunate and not operated in a shortfall and this is the first time but noted the amount is minimal compared to the rest of the program.
Member Kaluderovic thanked Community Services Director Hause for taking the time to meet with her; felt it would be a good idea to clear the list and have people re-apply more frequently so they can prioritize employees and residents of RB; mentioned the emergency housing vouchers expire December 2026 and asked what the plan is when that happens.
Housing Manager Delgado spoke of applying for “set-aside funds” which may help, and the renewal funding may also help.
Member Kaluderovic asked if there are any unused VASH vouchers.
Housing Manager Delgado said they do have some, but they are assigned by the VA.
Member Kaluderovic asked for an explanation on billing all incoming portability vouchers, which was on the list.
Housing Manager Delgado explained it is a federal program, and families can transfer (which they call portability) anywhere in the nation and if someone comes to their City they decide whether they will absorb them financially or if they will bill their initial agency; noted because they cannot afford to absorb them, they will need to bill for everybody.

Member Obagi asked what the cause of the deficit was this year.
Housing Manager Delgado explained it is higher expenditures, noted rent increases were apparent in September.
Member Obagi mentioned the President may declare a housing emergency, asked if it would help if the Council wrote a letter to the federal government about the rising costs and the assistance needed.
More discussion followed about the growing expenses, all cities have been impacted, who to write letters to, what the City can do to seek assistance, and the need for the City to react and plan for no assistance and manage expenses accordingly.
Member Obagi spoke more about what they can do to influence getting more resources in RB for housing from the federal government.
Chair Light stated if the Housing Authority supports it, he will draft letters with the help of staff and Councilmember Kaluderovic and contact the City’s lobbyists.
Motion by Councilmember Obagi, seconded by Councilmember Castle, to receive and file the Quarterly Status Report on the Section 8 Program and direct the Mayor to write letters and contact the City’s lobbyists as he stated.
Member Kaluderovic asked the next time they meet with the Housing Authority if they could get numbers, so they have a better understanding of the impact it makes.
Community Services Director Hause stated they will bring the Administrative Plan Update to them at the next quarterly meeting.
Chair Light invited public comment.
A speaker came up and spoke about her friend on Section 8 and noted she has received several rent increases.
Housing Manager Delgado stated there are state laws that prohibit increases from going beyond CPI plus 5%, thought the current number is no more than 8% is allowed every year.

On February 17, 2004, the City Council adopted Senior Housing Ordinance No. 2927-04, amending the zoning ordinance to establish standards for senior citizen housing. On March 2, 2004, the City Council approved the Montecito Senior Housing development, located at 2001 Artesia Boulevard, consisting of 60 residential condominium units. In compliance with Ordinance No. 2927-04, a condition of project approval required the developer to enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement with the City to provide and restrict by deed five (5) units as affordable for low- and moderate-income households for a minimum of fifty-five (55) years from the date of construction, in accordance with applicable state and local laws.
The current owner is requesting to sell one of the moderate-income units (#301) within the Montecito development. Pursuant to State and local requirements, this incomerestricted unit must be sold to a qualified moderate-income household. To preserve affordability and ensure continued compliance with the City’s inclusionary housing requirements, Housing Authority approval is required for the execution of the Escrow Instructions Letter, the Agreement Containing Covenants, Restrictions, and Option to Purchase, and all related documents necessary for the sale and ongoing regulation of this affordable housing unit. The same materials will be presented to the City Council for concurrent approval during its special meeting scheduled for the same evening.
Administrative Report October 21, 2025
Approve and Execute the Affordable Housing Documents
BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2927-04 on February 17, 2004, amending the zoning ordinance to establish standards for housing for senior citizens. The Ordinance includes an inclusionary housing requirement that ten percent (10%) of the senior housing units be affordable to low- and moderate-income households in proportion to the housing needs identified in the City’s Housing Element. These units must remain affordable for a period of not less than fifty-five (55) years from the effective date of the Affordable Housing Agreement, which is February 20, 2008.
Pursuant to State and local requirements, the income-restricted unit at 2001 Artesia Boulevard, Unit #301, may be sold only to qualified moderate-income households. Moderate-income levels are based on a Countywide formula, with limits determined by household size in relation to the County’s median income.
The current owner of Unit #301 has requested approval to sell the property and has identified a qualified moderate-income buyer. The attached Agreement is a recorded instrument ensuring the long-term maintenance of affordability restrictions.
As part of the transaction, Housing staff will verify the buyer’s eligibility and income qualification in accordance with State and local guidelines. The maximum allowable sales price for this unit is $304,400, consistent with affordability standards under State law.
The Affordable Housing Agreement and associated documents for this transaction include:
1. Agreement Containing Covenants, Restrictions, and Option to Purchase –ensuring long-term affordability, providing notice of affordability restrictions to future purchasers and lenders, and reserving the City’s purchase rights.
2. Performance Deed of Trust – securing the developer’s and purchaser’s obligations under the Agreement to ensure continued compliance for the full term of affordability.
3. Escrow Instructions Letter – authorizing the execution and recordation of the necessary affordability documents at the close of escrow.
Approval of these documents will authorize the Chairman to execute the agreements on behalf of the Housing Authority and to take any actions necessary to complete the sale in compliance with the City’s affordable housing requirements.
COORDINATION
The City Attorney’s office has approved the Affordability Housing Agreement and all necessary and related documents as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Affordable Housing Program activities are processed through the City’s Housing Authority office. The Housing Authority has received a $50.00 fee for this transaction.
