1. Introduction
The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan for the City of San Clemente satisfies federal requirements to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The primary objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income individuals.
Each activity to be undertaken with CDBG funds must meet one of the three national objectives:
x Benefit low and moderate-income persons,
x Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight or x Meet a community need having particular urgency, such as a nationally declared disaster.
To receive CDBG funds, the City must prepare a Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan is a multi-year strategic plan that identifies priority housing and community needs, and it also identifies the City's activities over five years to address priority needs. The Action Plan, a component of the Consolidated Plan, is the City's annual expenditure plan for using CDBG funds to address the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan.
To date, HUD has not announced funding for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025. For planning purposes, the City anticipates receiving $300,000 in 2024 CDBG funding – approximately 3% less than the City's current year CDBG allocation. The City has also identified $134,471 in prior year CDBG funds that will be available during FY 2024-2025 to fund eligible activities. Program income received during FY 2024-2025 will be available to support housing rehabilitation activities.
The 2024-2025 Action Plan details the specific activities the City will undertake with CDBG resources to address the housing and community needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. Planned activities include housing rehabilitation, minor commercial property improvements, public infrastructure improvements, public social services grants, and program administration (including fair housing services).
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The five-year CDBG program objectives and outcomes identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan are summarized below. Corresponding proposed outcomes for FY 2024-25 are also provided below:
x Infrastructure and Facility Improvements: Improve public infrastructure and facilities that benefit 7,000 low- and moderate-income residents / FY 24-25 Goal: 2 project (year 2 funding for Max Berg Park, which will benefit 4,090 residents and Bonito Canyon Park Improvements, which will benefit 4,130 residents)
x Provide housing rehabilitation assistance to 20 homeowners and 2 rental housing owners / FY 24- 25 Goal: Rehab 3 owner-occupied and 0 rental units
2 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24 x Provide access to public social services for 12,500 low- and moderate-income persons / FY 24-25 Goal: Assist 2,721 individuals
x Provide access to housing and supportive services for 2,500 persons at risk of becoming homeless or who are homeless / FY 24-25 Goal: Assist 1,690 with services to prevent homelessness x Support activities to promote economic opportunities by assisting 10 businesses that serve lowerincome residents / FY 24-25 Goal: Assist 3 businesses x Provide CDBG program oversight and coordination, including fair housing services to 300 households / FY 24-25 Goal: Provide 1 Year of program admin and assist 50 households with fair housing services
3. Evaluation of past performance
FY 2023-2024 (the current fiscal year) is the fourth year of the City's 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan cycle.
Most planned activities will be completed by June 30, 2024. A table that summarizes the City's Consolidated Plan goals for three completed program years (FY 2020-2021, FY 2021-2022, and FY 2022- 2023) is provided in Attachment 1.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Resident and community stakeholder participation in prioritizing the use of CDBG funds is an essential component of the Consolidated Plan (and Action Plan) planning process. For the 2024-2025 Action Plan, the City obtained public input in a variety of ways:
x Consistent with HUD regulations (24 CFR 91.105 (a)(2)(iv)), the City utilized focus groups to ascertain public service grant priority needs. Specifically, the City's Social Service Budget Committee reviewed social service needs in the community and developed funding recommendations for the City Council's consideration. The Committee is comprised of a representative of the City Council, the City's Human Relations Committee, and City staff. x The City's Social Service Budget Committee held a meeting on February 15, 2024, to provide public input regarding allocating CDBG public service grant funds. x On March 15, 2024, a notice was published in the local newspaper announcing the required 30-day public comment period for the draft 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan. The notice also announced a public hearing to be held by the City Council.
x On April 16, 2024, the San Clemente City Council held a public hearing to accept additional public input regarding the draft 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan and authorize submission of the plan to HUD.

1. Introduction
Pursuant to HUD regulations, the City has taken several steps to obtain resident and stakeholder input to develop the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan. The City Council held a hearing to receive public comment on the proposed use of CDBG funds. The City's Social Service Budget Committee provided funding recommendations for public service grants. The City also utilized its internet web page and the newspaper to notify residents of the opportunity to review and comment on the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan draft.
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(l))
The City of San Clemente works closely with the County of Orange Housing Authority (OCHA); OCHA administers the federal rental assistance voucher and certificate programs. The City has limited resources to assist with the development of housing opportunities. Still, City staff will work with developers as opportunities evolve to encourage housing development for lower-income residents.
Through the annual CDBG Public Service Grants, City staff can ascertain the services residents need and develop partnerships with local agencies to coordinate the delivery of needed services.
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.
As a supporter of the Orange County Continuum of Care (OC CoC) planning process, the City provides information regarding the activities it will fund to address local homeless issues. The OC CoC uses this information to prepare the region's application to HUD for Homeless Assistance Grant funds. As needed, City staff will expedite certifications of consistency with the Consolidated Plan and other forms of support for the OC CoC. The City also supports and participates in the biennial Point-In-Time Survey of the region's homeless.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds; therefore, it does not help the OC-CoC to determine ESG allocations, evaluate grant outcomes, or develop policies and procedures for administering the regional Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). 6 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24

Additionally, the City identified $134,471 in prior year CDBG funds that will be available during FY 2024-2025. Program income received during FY 2024-2025 will also be available to fund housing rehabilitation activities. Housing voucher/certificate resources via OCHA and state Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) will also be available to support activities that may address the Consolidated Plan's goals. The City has access to In-lieu Affordable Housing Fee resources; however, no project has been identified to use these funds.

In 2012, the State Legislature and the governor passed legislation to dissolve all redevelopment agencies in the State; consequently, local resources supporting Consolidated Plan strategies are limited. The City has identified other resources that will be available to carry out activities that address the goals of the Consolidated Plan:
x OCHA reports that as of January 2024, 145 San Clement households receive rental assistance. It was anticipated that 145 households would be assisted annually during the five-year Consolidated Plan programming cycle. x For FY 2024-2025, the City will utilize PLHA resources to fund homeless outreach services. PLHA is state funding allocated to local governments to help address unmet housing needs.
x In-lieu Affordable Housing Fund resources generated via the City's Inclusionary Housing Program (IHP) are available to assist nonprofit agencies in purchasing land or existing housing units to provide long-term affordable housing. The City adopted the IHP in 1980 to increase the supply of affordable housing. The program requires developers of six or more units to set aside 4% of total units developed for households earning 50% or less of the area median income. The affordable requirement can be provided on-site, off-site, or through an in-lieu fee. Past housing development activity has generated a fund of approximately $1,000,000. No specific project(s) is presently slated to benefit from this resource; however, these funds should be considered one-time funds as most large-scale housing development in the City is complete as the City approaches build-out. Future in-fill redevelopment is anticipated to allow new housing development, such as the Shorecliffs Senior Housing Project on Avenida Vaquero and the Memorial Care Senior Housing Project on Camino De LosMares.
CDBG does not require matching funds.
If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needsidentified in the planAs indicated in the Consolidated Plan, San Clemente is nearly "built out" with limited vacant land; nonetheless, the City's Housing Element identifies several vacant and underutilized sites that may be suitable for housing development. Most properties identified in the Housing Element residential sites inventory are in the City's Affordable Housing Overlay. The Overlay Zone intends to encourage affordable rental and for-sale housing in commercial and mixed-use zones. Other in-fill sites outside of the overlay have also been identified for potential housing development, which may include affordable units. 13 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24 Discussion
Funding resources are limited to implement the City's 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan. The City anticipates receiving $300,000 in 2024 CDBG funding from HUD. An additional $134,471 in uncommitted prior-year CDBG funding, plus program income generated from CDBG-funded housing rehabilitation loan repayments (i.e., Revolving Loan Funds), will be available to address priority needs. OCHA has aggressively pursued new rental assistance resources - the City will continue to support OCHA's efforts to secure these resources.
Additionally, the City will continue supporting programs that serve City residents with PLHA funds. Finally, the City has identified vacant and underutilized land that may be suitable for housing development - in-lieu fees for affordable housing development are available to support affordable housing activities; however, no projects are slated for development utilizing these resources in FY 2024-2025. 14 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24 Annual Goals and Objectives

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The City's Consolidated Plan identifies the homeless, persons with special needs, seniors, and very lowincome households as underserved. The City will allocate a portion of its CDBG funds for activities that address the housing and service needs of lower-income households and households with special needs.
Consistent with the City's Homeless Strategy, resources will be allocated to provide safety net services to help at-risk households maintain their current housing. The City will use CDBG program income (i.e., funds generated by the repayment of housing rehabilitation loans) to help homeowners improve their residences and not incur additional housing cost burden. The City will also encourage and support OCHA's efforts to obtain additional rental assistance funding for San Clemente households. 18 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24 Projects

According to data from the Consolidated Plan, these households contribute a significant portion of their income to maintain housing. Consistent with the City's Homeless Strategy, resources will be allocated to help these households remain housed in place rather than fall into homelessness by providing social safety net services. The City's housing rehabilitation program can assist elderly and disabled homeowners in improving their residences to address specific household needs. Additionally, the City will encourage and support OCHA's efforts to obtain additional rental assistance funding for San Clemente households. For FY 2024-2025, the City will also fund Vocational Visions to provide employment assistance services to adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. 25 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24 AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed Most activities slated for CDBG funding during FY 2024-2025 will be available citywide to income-eligible individuals and households.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically FY 2024-2025 CDBG funding is principally allocated in the City's CDBG-eligible Census Tracts; however, the City's primary intent is to serve lower-income residents who need housing or services regardless of where they live in the City. Area-wide activities (e.g., public improvements) are typically limited to the City's CDBG-eligible areas.
Discussion
The City's primary intent is to use CDBG funds to assist eligible households that need services regardless of where they live in the City. A portion of funds focuses on specific areas of the City with a significant percentage of low- and moderate-income residents.

28 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
As the Consolidated Plan outlines, the City's homeless strategy emphasizes preventing homelessness since it is less expensive and disruptive to keep a household housed in place. To this end, the City has supported local agencies with CDBG resources that provide various services for lower-income households, including food banks, rent/utility assistance, and reduced-cost childcare and healthcare services. These safety-net programs can help a household maintain its current housing situation and avoid homelessness.
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
No CDBG resources will be allocated for homeless outreach services in FY 2024-2025. However, the City will utilize PLHA funds to fund homeless outreach staff.
The City of San Clemente will also continue to support agencies working directly with sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations. For example, Family Assistance Ministries conducts extensive outreach and vulnerability assessments throughout San Clemente and neighboring communities. Other agencies conduct similar outreach and assessment services for specific homeless populations, such as domestic violence victims and transitional-age youth.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Consolidated Plan indicates that Family Assistance Ministries manages 44 emergency and 14 transitional shelter beds in San Clemente. These shelter beds are earmarked for homeless families with children. Additionally, Laura's House offers shelter for victims of domestic violence.
No FY 2024-2025 CDBG funds are allocated for emergency shelter or transitional housing.
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
As outlined above, the City will focus its CDBG resources on providing social safety net services to help atrisk households avoid becoming homeless. The 2022 Orange County homeless Point In Time County survey indicates there are 50 sheltered San Clemente homeless individuals; however, 81 individuals are reported as unsheltered-homeless.
29 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24 Upon request, the City will support agencies that provide homeless housing and supportive services by providing a Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan. (Note that in addition to being consistent with the Consolidated Plan, programs must also comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations). Additionally, the City will continue to support the OC-CoC's efforts to seek resources to address regional homeless issues and support OCHA's efforts to obtain additional housing assistance vouchers for homeless Veterans (VASH). OCHA reports that in January 2024, four veteran households will benefit from VASH housing assistance in San Clemente. Additionally, ten households receive rental assistance via the Continuum of Care Voucher program. This program provides rental subsidies and supportive services to individuals with disabilities who have experienced homelessness.
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's strategy is to help a household at risk of becoming homeless to stay in their home. CDBG funding is allocated to provide social safety net services to help at-risk households avoid becoming homeless. The City will also continue to support the regional homeless planning efforts, including the OC-CoC's Discharge Plan, which will help prevent individuals from leaving institutions, hospitals, etc., and becoming homeless.
Discussion
The City's homeless strategy is to prevent homelessness and support local service providers' efforts to seek additional resources. The City's CDBG funds are allocated for safety net services to help households at risk of homelessness redirect limited income toward housing. 30 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
Barriers to affordable housing and actions to overcome barriers are listed in the City's Housing Element and discussed in the Consolidated Plan.
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
Affordable Housing Funds: The City will encourage developers to include affordable housing units within developments and seek other private and public funding sources to reduce these units' development costs.
To the extent that resources are available, Inclusionary Housing In-lieu Funds may assist nonprofit agencies in purchasing land or existing housing units to provide long-term affordable housing.
Environmental Review: The City's Housing Element details the impact of environmental review compliance.
The Housing Element also identifies the exemptions that state and federal laws provide to streamline the environmental review process. City staff plays a vital role by assisting property owners and developers in navigating the various environmental review regulations.
Planning and Development Fees: According to the City's Housing Element, housing construction imposes certain short- and long-term costs upon local government, such as the cost of providing planning services and inspections. Fees assessed by the City to recoup these costs are typical for Orange County communities.
Permit and Processing Procedures: The processing time required to obtain approval of development entitlements and building permits is sometimes cited as contributing to construction costs. The City's development approval process is designed to accommodate, not hinder, development and not unduly constrain housing. The City's Housing Element outlines the time and cost savings development processes, including one-stop permitting, pre-permit application meetings, and concurrent permit application processing. For an affordable housing project, City staff interacts with project sponsors early in the process to determine project feasibility.
Land Use Controls: Generally, land use controls are considered necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare and maintain the quality of life. Such controls are not considered a significant constraint on the development of housing. The City has implemented reasonable controls appropriate for the community and detailed these controls in the City's Housing Element.
Discussion
The City's Housing Element identifies several barriers to developing affordable housing opportunities. The Housing Element also identified several actions the City can take to reduce these impacts. No projects are currently planned or under construction that are using these incentives. 31 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24 AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction
Outlined below are the actions the City will implement to address the sub-strategies of the Consolidated Plan.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City will allocate a portion of CDBG funds for activities that address the service needs of lower-income and special-needs households. Additionally, the City will encourage and support OCHA's efforts to obtain additional rental assistance funding for these households. CDBG resources will be available to help with housing rehabilitation. This program is available to assist homeowners in improving their residences and address specific household needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing San Clemente has identified actions it will implement during FY 2024-2025 to foster and maintain affordable housing. The Consolidated Plan identifies programs such as Housing Rehabilitation assistance as the means to maintain and improve housing currently available to low- and moderate-income residents. By providing deferred payment loans or grants, homeowners can rehabilitate their properties to meet basic housing quality standards and incur zero or minimal additional housing costs. FY 2024-2025 CDBG funding and program income received during the year will be available to assist with housing rehabilitation.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City will ensure compliance with federal lead-based paint regulations. All housing units constructed before 1978 that are rehabbed with CDBG funds must be tested for lead paint hazards. If lead is found, additional assistance may be provided to eliminate lead hazards in compliance with current regulations.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families Approximately 5.6% of the City's population live below the poverty level, including 2.4% of children under 18 and 5.5% of seniors (aged 65 and older). During FY 2024-2025, the City will fund the following activities to help reduce the number of poverty-level households:
x Support public services that provide a social safety net for lower-income households, especially for the near-homeless
x Support OCHA's administration of the federal rental assistance program for very low-income renters
x Subject to the availability of funds, provide housing rehabilitation assistance for lower-income and special-needs homeowners
x Commercial property upgrades to improve neighborhood aesthetics and expand economic opportunities for lower-income residents.
32 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24 Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City has made an effort to establish an institutional structure to help identify and access resources to improve the community. The City will continue to work with nonprofit and public entities to deliver public services. As a supporter of the Orange County Continuum of Care, the City will provide critical information to the County of Orange to prepare the County's Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance grant application to HUD. The City will also continue to assist OCHA in implementing its Public Housing Authority (PHA) Plan to provide rental assistance vouchers and certificates.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City of San Clemente does not operate public housing, but OCHA provides rental assistance in the community. Federal legislation requires that OCHA prepare five-year and one-year plans highlighting its mission, goals, and objectives related to public and assisted housing programs. The City will review OCHA's plans and provide OCHA the opportunity to review and consult with the City regarding its Consolidated Plan/Annual Action Plan. This cross-consultation aims to provide consistent and coordinated housing services for City residents.
San Clemente has also developed positive relationships with private and nonprofit housing developers.
Additionally, ongoing relationships with local nonprofit social service providers help promote the efficient and effective use of limited private and public resources to address the community's service needs.
Broadband: According to BroadbandNow.com, Cox Communications is the top broadband service provider in San Clemente, covering 98.3% of the City. AT&T Internet is also available via fiber optic cable to 68.0% of San Clemente properties. Several additional providers offer satellite or 5-G-based broadband service.
Most broadband service providers in Orange County participate in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). The ACP was created with the passage of the Infrastructure and Jobs Act of 2021. The purpose of the ACP is to provide eligible households with a $30 discount on monthly broadband internet service. ACP eligibility is based on household income (200% of federal poverty or less) or participation in specific government assistance programs, such as SSI, Medicaid, or WIC. Funding may also be available to provide "discounts" for connective devices such as a laptop, a desktop computer, or a tablet. Information about the ACP is readily available online; however, many of the City's nonprofit service providers will inform clients of this program and assist clients in applying for discounts. Additionally, the City will continue encouraging developers and property owners to incorporate broadband infrastructure into new or substantially rehabilitated housing projects, especially affordable housing projects.
Resiliency: The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires the State of California and local governments to prepare mitigation plans to document their hazard mitigation planning process and to identify hazards, potential losses, mitigation needs, goals, and strategies. Each state and local government must have a federally approved mitigation plan to qualify for hazard mitigation grant funding. 33 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24 The City of San Clemente Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan aims to promote sound public policy to protect citizens, critical facilities, infrastructure, private property, and the environment from natural hazards. The mitigation plan seeks to increase public awareness, document the resources for risk reduction and loss prevention, and identify activities to guide the City toward building a safer, more sustainable community.
The mitigation plan lists activities to help reduce risk and prevent loss from future natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, flooding, tsunamis, wildfires, and the impacts of nuclear waste and climate change. FEMA approved the City's Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan in 2005. The City is currently seeking proposals to develop an Emergency Services Action Plan (ESAP) to address emergency service needs. The ESAP will include an updated Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan that is in line with the current state Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) best practices. City staff anticipates having an LHMP in place by early 2025.
Discussion
HUD-funded grant recipients are required to affirmatively further fair housing and not discriminate in housing or services directly or indirectly based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, familial status, or disability. Grant recipients such as San Clemente are required to (1) examine and attempt to alleviate housing discrimination within their jurisdiction; (2) promote fair housing choices for all persons; (3) provide opportunities for all persons to reside in any given housing development, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, and other personal or familial attributes; (4) promote housing that is accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities; (5) and comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of the Fair Housing Act. HUD encourages jurisdictions to consult with one another and initiate region-wide area fair housing planning. The Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice is the primary document for this purpose. In addition to identifying impediments, a strategy to overcome barriers must be developed and implemented - accomplishments are reported annually. The City participated in developing a countywide AI, which the City Council adopted in May 2020.
A summary of impediments to fair housing and the action steps the City will take to affirmatively further fair housing during FY 2024-2025 are found in Attachment 4. 34 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Draft 3/15/24 Program Specific Requirements
AP-90 Program Specific Requirements – 91.220(l)(1,2,4)

Regional Goals and Strategies"
Goal 1: Increase the supply of affordable housing in high opportunity areas.1 Strategies:
1. Explore the creation of a new countywide source of affordable housing.
2. Using best practices from other jurisdictions, explore policies and programs that increase the supply of affordable housing, such as linkage fees, housing bonds, inclusionary housing, public land set-aside, community land trusts, transit-oriented development, and expedited permitting and review.
3. Explore providing low-interest loans to single-family homeowners and grants to homeowners with household incomes of up to 80% of the Area Median Income to develop accessory dwelling units with affordability restrictions on their property.
4. Review existing zoning policies and explore zoning changes to facilitate the development of affordable housing.
5. Align zoning codes to conform to recent California affordable housing legislation.
Goal 2: Prevent displacement of low- and moderate-income residents with protected characteristics, including Hispanic residents, Vietnamese residents, other seniors, and people with disabilities.
Strategies:
1. Explore piloting a Right to Counsel Program to ensure legal representation for tenants in landlord-tenant proceedings, including those involving the application of new laws like A.B. 1482.
Goal 3: Increase community integration for persons with disabilities.
Strategies:
1. Conduct targeted outreach and provide tenant application assistance and support to persons with disabilities, including individuals transitioning from institutional settings and individuals who are at risk of institutionalization. As part of that assistance, maintain a database of housing that is accessible to persons with disabilities.
2. Consider adopting the accessibility standards adopted by the City of Los Angeles, which require at least 15 percent of all new units in city-supported Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) projects to be ADA1 The term “high opportunity areas” generally means locations where there are economic and social factors and amenities that provide a positive impact on a person’s life outcome.

Goal 4: Ensure equal access to housing for persons with protected characteristics, who are disproportionately likely to be lower-income and to experience homelessness.
Strategies:
1. Reduce barriers to accessing rental housing by exploring eliminating application fees for voucher holders and encouraging landlords to follow HUD's guidance on the use of criminal backgrounds in screening tenants.
2. Consider incorporating a fair housing equity analysis into the review of significant rezoning proposals and specific plans.
Goal 5: Expand access to opportunities for protected classes.
Strategies:
1. Explore the voluntary adoption of Small Area Fair Market Rents or exception payment standards in order to increase access to higher opportunity areas for Housing Choice Voucher holders.
2. Continue implementing a mobility counseling program that informs Housing Choice Voucher holders about their residential options in higher opportunity areas and provides holistic support to voucher holders seeking to move to higher opportunity areas.
3. Study and make recommendations to improve and expand Orange County's public transportation to ensure that members of protected classes can access jobs in employment centers in Anaheim, Santa Ana, and Irvine.
4. Increase support for fair housing enforcement, education, and outreach.
