§302(c)(4)(C) Provide a description of how the Plan is consistent with the programs set forth in the Local Government’s Housing Element.
The City's 6th Cycle Housing Element which will cover from 20223 through 2031 aims to expand the City’s affordable housing inventory by the following amounts: extremly/very low (920 units); low (600 units); moderate (1,692 units) and above moderate (3,462 units).
Through Program 2: Financial Assitnce and Gap Financing, the City’s aims to provide gap-financing for nonprofit housing developments. For this reason, the City will allocate 75% of the HCD PLHA grant funding in year one (1),70% in year three (3), 40% in year four (4) and 55% in year five (5). The aforementioned Division Street project, falls within the Alisal Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area, supporting Action H-5 of the City’s Housing Element. Additionally, Policy H-6 encourages the provision of housing and services for individuals experiencing homelessness through the use of state and federal programs. The City is proposing to leverage 20% of HCD PLHA funds in year one (1), 85% in year two (2), 25% in year three (3), 45% in year four (4), and 30% in year five (5) for best practices such as rapid rehousing, rental assistance, supportive/case management services, operating and capital costs to permenant supportive housing projects to reduce homelessness.

§302(c)(4)(A) Describe the manner in which allocated funds will be used for eligible activities.
The City of Salinas (City) will allocate HCD Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds to three (3) activities: 1) providing gap financing for construction of multi-family and senior affordable rental housing projects within the City, targeted to households that are 60% AMI or below; 2) creating an ADU Program which provides revolving loans to moderate or low-income households to accelerate ADU production; and 3) supporting the implementation of the Continuum of Care’s 10 Year Plan to Reduce Homelessness, including rapid rehousing, rental assistance, and supportive/case management services to assist in securing or retaining housing; operating and capital costs for Navigation Center and the emergency shelter (Chinatown Navidation Center and SHARE Center) and new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing (Step Up in Salinas, Step Up on Fairview, and Step Up on Sanborn). §302(c)(4)(B) Provide a description of the way the Local government will prioritize investments that increase the supply of housing for households with incomes at or below 60 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).
The City will allocate all Activity 1 funding to provide gap financing for construction of multi-family and senior affordable rental housing projects within the City, targeted to households that are 60% AMI or below. There are multiple affordable housing projects in our 5-year pipeline including Parkside Manor Apartments (senior housing), 855 East Laurel Drive (100% affordable rental Multifamily housing project), Division Street Project is on City owned property (Mixed Use/Multifamily housing), and Alisal Marketplace Apartments (Mixed Use/Multifamily housing) is on City owned property. All units produced through these projects that receive PLHA funding will be occupied by households at or below 60% AMI. Over the next five (5) years, the City anticipates this funding will contribute to the production of at least five (5) affordable housing complexes for Activity 1. All new units will have an affordability restriction of 55 years. The City will prioritize affordable housing projects at 60% AMI or below that are essentially “shovel ready”. If multiple projects meet these criteria, the City will conduct a formal Request for Proposal and each application will be rated and ranked similar to the City’s HUD HOME Investment Partnership Program.
