Article VI. - Assignment. The Contractor shall not assign any of his duties, responsibilities or obligations without prior written consent from the City.
Article VII. Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, City and any and all of City's boards, officers, employees, agents, assigns, and successors in interest, from and against any and all claims losses, demand and expenses, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees and cost of litigation, on account of bodily injury, including death, or property damage arising out of or in any way connected to the work performed by Contractor under this agreement. Without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this agreement, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where City's active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.
Article VIII. Insurance. Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the work, Contractor will maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Contractor will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, it will be amended to do so. Contractor acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of the limits and coverage required in this agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be available to City.
Contractor shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
1. Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office "Commercial General Liability" policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits shall be no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than $4,000,000 general aggregate.
Contractor's policy shall contain no endorsements limiting coverage beyond the basic policy coverage grant for any of the following:
Explosion, collapse or underground hazard (XCU)
Products and completed operations
Pollution liability
Contractual liability
Packet Page 208
Coverage shall be applicable to City for injury to employees of contractors, subcontractors or others involved in the project. Policy shall be endorsed to provide a separate limit applicable to this project.
2. Workers Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as required by law with employer's liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident for all covered losses.
3. Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 06 92 including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits shall be no less than $1,000,000 per accident, combined single limit. If Contractor owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability policy described above. If Contractor or Contractor's employees will use personal autos in any way on this project, Contractor shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person.
4. Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages. Any such coverage provided under an umbrella liability policy shall include a drop down provision providing primary coverage above a maximum $25,000 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary but covered by the umbrella. Coverage shall be provided on a "pay on behalf' basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to City for injury to employees of Contractor, subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage provided is subject to approval of City following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than $4,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate.
Article IX. - Legal Action. Should either party to this agreement bring legal action against the other, the case shall be handled in Monterey County, California, and the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled to a reasonable attorney's fee which shall be fixed by the judge hearing the case and such fee shall be included in the judgment, together with all costs.

Contractor and City agree as follows:
1. Contractor agrees to endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition date of 1985. Contractor also agrees to require all contractors, subcontractors, and anyone else involved in any way with the project contemplated by this agreement to do likewise.
2. Any waiver of subrogation express or implied on the part of City to any party involved in this agreement or related documents applies only to the extent of insurance proceeds actually paid. City, having required that it be named as an additional insured to all insurance coverage required herein, expressly retains the right to subrogate against any party for sums not paid by insurance. For its part, Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors, subcontractors or others involved in any way with the project(s) contemplated by this agreement, to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage maintained or procured by Contractor or required of others by Contractor pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to delete the subrogation condition as to City, or to specifically allow Contractor or others providing insurance herein to waive subrogation prior to a loss. This endorsement shall be obtained regardless of existing policy wording that may appear to allow such waivers.
4. It is agreed by Contractor and City that insurance provided pursuant to these requirements is not intended by any party to be limited to providing coverage for the vicarious liability of City, or to the supervisory role, if any, of City. All insurance coverage provided pursuant to this or any other agreement (express or implied) in any way relating to City is intended to apply to the full extent of the policies involved. Nothing referred to here or contained in any agreement involving City in relation to the project(s) contemplated by this agreement is intended to be construed to limit the application of insurance coverage in any way.
5. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. e1imation of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of binders of coverage, or endorsements, or certificates of insurance, at the option of City, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due Contractor, at City option.
8. Contractor agrees to endorse, and to require others to endorse, the insurance provided pursuant to these requirements, to require 30 days notice to City and the appropriate tender prior to cancellation of such liability coverage and notice of any material alteration or non-renewal of any such coverage, and to require contractors, subcontractors, and any other party in any way involved with the project contemplated by this agreement to do likewise.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or selfinsurance available to City.
10. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or Packet Page 228
SAN PABLO AVENUE TRAFFIC CALMING IMPROVEMENTS – Page 10 involved in the project by contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Contractor agrees that all layers of third party liability coverage required herein, primary, umbrella and excess, will have the same starting and expiration date. Contractor agrees further that all other third party coverages required herein will likewise have concurrent starting and ending dates.
12. Contractor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If contractor's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or selfinsured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the contractor, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
13. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
14. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, all contracts pertaining to the project will be deemed to be executed when finalized and any activity commences in furtherance of performance under this agreement.
15. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contractor of noncompliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
16. Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. The insurance shall include but not be limited to products and completed operations and discontinued operations, where applicable. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
17. Contractor agrees to waive its statutory immunity under any workers' compensation statute or similar statute, in relation to the city, and to require all subcontractors and any other person or entity involved in the project contemplated by this agreement to do likewise.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitations on other requirements or as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be all-inclusive.
19. Any provision in any of the construction documents dealing with the insurance coverage provided pursuant to these requirements, is subordinate to and superseded by the requirements contained herein. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.
20. All liability coverage provided according to these requirements must be endorsed to provide a separate aggregate limit for the project that is the subject of this agreement and evidencing products and completed operations coverage for not less than two years after issuance of a final certificate of occupancy by all appropriate government agencies or acceptance of the completed work by City.
21. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 9.A.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Haroon Noori, Administrative Analyst II
DATE: June 24, 2025
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FY 2025–2029
CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND FY 2025–2026 ANNUAL ACTION
PLAN FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan and the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, and authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to:
1. Submit the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan and all required certifications and documentation to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); and
2. Make any conforming or non-substantive modifications necessary to carry out the intent of the Plan and to remain in compliance with HUD requirements; and
3. Execute all implementing documents required by HUD for the receipt and use of CDBG funds; and
4. Enter into agreements and amendments with eligible subrecipients, contractors, and consultants for the implementation of approved CDBG-funded activities consistent with the adopted Plans.
BACKGROUND
As a HUD-designated entitlement jurisdiction, the City of Seaside receives an annual allocation of CDBG funding to support eligible activities that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income (LMI) residents. To maintain eligibility, HUD requires the City to prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan that establishes long-term community Packet Page 329
Item No. 9.A. Page 2 of 5
development objectives and an Annual Action Plan that details how annual funds will be allocated to achieve those objectives.
The Consolidated Plan serves as a strategic blueprint that guides the City's investments in affordable housing, infrastructure improvements, and public services. HUD regulations impose specific funding caps to ensure accountability and balanced programming: no more than 15% of annual funds may be used for public service activities, and no more than 20% may be used for administrative and planning purposes. The remainder must be dedicated to capital improvements or other eligible activities that meet national objectives, including benefit to LMI persons, elimination of slums or blight, or urgent community needs.
DISCUSSION
The Draft FY 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan and Draft FY 2025–2026 Annual Action Plan were prepared with technical assistance from Michael Baker International (MBI) and developed using HUD’s Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) template. These plans reflect a comprehensive needs assessment, extensive community engagement, and up-to-date demographic and housing data to ensure that the City's goals are responsive to evolving local needs.
Strategic Priorities
Based on analysis of current conditions and input received through public outreach, the following five-year strategic goals are proposed:
• Expand access to essential community services, with emphasis on youth, senior citizens, and individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. • Invest in public facilities and infrastructure, particularly in underserved neighborhoods.
• Enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities through targeted capital improvements and in areas lacking ADA-compliant access. • Preserve and improve the existing stock of affordable housing, including support for rehabilitation.
The Draft FY 2025–2026 Annual Action Plan outlines the specific programs, projects, and partners selected to implement these priorities during the first program year of the Consolidated Plan cycle.
CITY COUNCIL REVIEW AND DIRECTION
On June 5, 2025, the Seaside City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to review the Draft 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan and Draft FY 2025–2026 Annual Action Plan and receive public comment on the proposed documents. Following public input and staff presentation, the City Council approved the staff-recommended funding allocations below and directed staff to prepare final versions of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan for adoption at the June 24, 2025, City Council meeting.
Packet Page 330
Item No. 9.A. Page 3 of 5
FY2025–2026 FUNDING ALLOCATIONS
The City of Seaside administers its CDBG subrecipient funding through a two-year application cycle. Preliminary allocations for FY 2025–2026 were approved by the City Council on April 4 and June 6, 2024, based on an estimated entitlement grant of $332,000 and $102,000 in program income.
On May 13, 2025, HUD released final allocations, confirming the City will receive $304,867 in new entitlement funding—approximately $27,133 less than projected. In addition, the City anticipates it will receive $102,900 in program income and will carry over $58,781 in unexpended funds from prior program years. This results in a total of $466,548 available for FY 2025–2026 programming.
To align with this revised funding level, and in conformance with HUD methodology, staff has updated the original proposed allocation plan as follows:

1 The San Pablo Bridge Demolition and Reconstruction project was removed from consideration because it no longer qualifies under HUD’s Low- and Moderate-Income Area (LMA) national objective criteria.
The revised allocations ensure continued compliance with HUD funding caps—limiting public service activities to no more than 15% and administration to no more than 20% of total grant and program income. Additionally, the updated plan prioritizes shovelready capital improvements and preserves essential community services for Seaside’s most vulnerable populations.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Public participation is a critical component of the Consolidated Plan development process. The City undertook the following outreach and consultation efforts to identify local needs and gather community feedback:
• Virtual kickoff meeting – September 10, 2024
• Community forums – September 26 and 27, 2024
• Stakeholder interviews and focus groups with service providers, nonprofits, and residents (summer – winter 2024/2025)
• Online Community Needs Assessment Survey – August 5 through November 19, 2024
• CDAC public funding workshops and review meetings – February to March 2024 • 30-day public review period for the draft plan – May 22 through June 20, 2025 • City Council hearings – June 5 (draft review) and June 24, 2025 (final adoption) All outreach efforts were conducted in accordance with the City’s HUD-approved Citizen Participation Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This staff report and associated public hearing involve budgeting and planning activities, which do not constitute a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Environmental review will be completed at the project level prior to any expenditure of funds, consistent with HUD and CEQA/NEPA requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2025–2026 Action Plan includes $75,384 for program administration, which is Packet Page 332
Item No. 9.A. Page 5 of 5
within the 20% administrative cap allowed by HUD. These funds cover staff time, consulting staff support, compliance monitoring, and public engagement activities. This allocation minimizes reliance on the City’s General Fund and ensures compliance with federal program requirements.

Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 1
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Seaside (City) is an entitlement jurisdiction that receives federal funds from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to invest in local communities. The City receives HUD funding under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, which is designed to assist low- and moderate-income (LMI) households. The Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) must also address special needs identified as the needs of the elderly, people with disabilities, homeless individuals, and others.
The 2025-2029 ConPlan serves the following functions: 1) A planning document for the City of Seaside, which builds on a participatory process; 2) An application for federal funds under HUD’s CDBG formula grants program; 3) A strategy to be followed in carrying out HUD’s programs; and 4) An allocation of funds to specific projects for the first fiscal year of the Consolidated Plan.
The 2025-2029 ConPlan covers the time frame from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030, a period of five fiscal years. As of the preparation of this document, the City anticipates receiving only CDBG funding directly from HUD during this five-year timeframe. The Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) is a HUD-provided tool for grantees that helps with the preparation of the Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan (AAP). IDIS is the system in which projects and funding are tracked. IDIS standardizes the preparation of the Consolidated Plan and ensures that all jurisdictions meet the statutory requirements for the documents. The IDIS Consolidated Plan software tool provides data from HUD-selected sources, primarily the American Community Survey (ACS) dataset and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) dataset.
Supplemental data has been added in certain sections where IDIS data is missing, or additional data is useful for understanding current conditions. In addition, the Consolidated Plan is structured in a question-and-answer format. Limited opportunities for customization are available. In some cases, the questions are targeted toward grantees receiving other HUD funding sources that are not applicable to the City, such as HOME, Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA). As a result, not every category or question may be applicable to Seaside's jurisdiction or CDBG program.
The primary focus of the CDBG program is on assisting low-income households, which the program defines as follows:
Extremely Low
DRAFT -Income (earning between 0 to 30 percent of the Area Median Income); Packet Page 340
Seaside Consolidated Plan 2025-2029
Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Very Low-Income (earning between 30 to 50 percent of the Area Median Income); and Low-Income (earning between 50 to 80 percent of the Area Median Income).
Although middle-income households are noted in some of the tables and calculations, households with incomes above 80 percent of median income are not eligible households for purposes of the CDBG program. The maximum income for each category is defined annually by the federal government and is adjusted based on household size.
In addition, in conformance with HUD requirements, the City specifies that it will meet its Lowto-Moderate Income Activities requirements as follows: Over a three-year period, the City will spend no less than 70 percent of CDBG funds on activities that benefit low-to-moderate incomepersons.
2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview
Community outreach for the ConPlan took place simultaneously with outreach for the City’s federally required Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). Input during public meetings, Community Needs Survey responses, and stakeholder interviews were taken into consideration during the preparation of the Needs Assessment, Market Analysis, and Strategic Plan.
This ConPlan’s main target groups include:
Extremely low-income and very low-income households
Seniors
Youth, primarily aged 16-17
Persons needing ADA accessibility
The Strategic Plan’s priority needs include:
Access to community services (youth, senior services, and homelessness as priorities) Provide quality facilities and infrastructure
Improve accessibility for people with disabilities
Preserve and improve existing housing stock
Throughout the next five years, the City of Seaside anticipates funding projects related to the needs stated above, although the available of sufficient funding, ability to work in successful community-based organization partnerships, and market conditions have impacts on, and may limit
DRAFT , the City’s ability to fund priorities.
Packet Page 341
Seaside Consolidated Plan 2025-2029
Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Given the City’s relatively small CDBG allocation, funds for affordable housing or other large capital improvement projects will need to come from other sources. The planning process for this document used a realistic expectation of funds that would potentially be available.
3. Evaluation of past performance
Below is a summary of progress over the last five years in addressing 2020-2024 ConPlan goals.
Access to Community and Social Services: The City collaborated with several local nonprofit organizations providing programs to benefit the needs of the City’s diverse residents. This includes people experiencing homelessness, low-to-moderate income (LMI) seniors, youth, and other eligible households connected to resources. Youth received gang and violence prevention training, self-confidence and self-esteem improvement coaching, after-school tutoring and meals, leadership/life skills/job preparation training, access to arts workshops and classes, and technology access/other enrichment activities. Seniors were connected to both meals and legal services. Women experiencing homelessness in the community were served through shelter services and meals. Many LMI households were also served through fair housing and tenantlandlord services.
Improve Accessibility to Persons with Disabilities: The City completed park improvements to Ellis Park and Cutino Park.

Microenterprise Assistance: The City’s initial goal of providing assistance to microenterprise businesses through the CDBG program was not met due to constraints of COVID-19. The City focused on protecting residents and maintaining existing businesses. However, the City did implement the Façade Local Improvement Program (FLIP) Grant in Fiscal Year 2021 using nonHUD funds. The FLIP Program, which has assisted over 20 businesses, offered 75 percent matching grants up to $7,500 to property owners and tenants for exterior building improvements, aiming to enhance commercial districts and increase municipal revenue.

91.315(I)
1. Introduction
The City of Seaside worked with the Coalition of Homeless Services Providers, Monterey County’s designated Continuum of Care (CoC), the Monterey County Housing Authority Development Corporation (HDC), housing and service providers, and other local jurisdictions to develop the Consolidated Plan, as described below.
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 of Seaside collaborates with other local governments, nonprofits, advocacy groups, and citizens on its housing and community development efforts. This collaboration takes place through the City's cooperation with the Coalition of Homeless Services Providers (CHSP), and participation in planning processes such as the City's Housing Element and Consolidated Plan, and the Continuum of Care (COC) 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness. Additionally, the City consulted a variety of agencies, including local and regional nonprofits, government organizations, faith-based organizations, and other organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, creation of job opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, and/or provision of services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following methods:
Stakeholder surveys (web-based, social media, and paper surveys) Individual stakeholder consultations
Community meetings
Public hearings
Receipt of written comments
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 Seaside works with the CoC’s Coordinator CHSP staff on the 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness and homelessness prevention strategies A key element of this strategy is connecting people who are discharged from public institutions to available assistance from agencies addressing housing, health, social services, employment, education and youth needs.
The City also coordinates plans for providing housing for those who are DRAFT
experiencing, or at-risk

of experiencing, homelessness. In the execution of services for these populations, the City has traditionally depended on CHSP, Monterey County and nonprofit groups to perform these social services functions.
In addition to the general services and housing programs outlined above, the City successfully partnered with CHSP, Community Human Services, and Gathering for Women on creating Casa De Noche Buena, a previously vacant County-owned property in the City that was transformed into a low-barrier emergency shelter for homeless women and families with children. Opened in 2021, the shelter can accommodate 25 to 38 individuals and additionally offers meals and various supportive services with case management for up to 90 days. Stays can be extended to up to six months.
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 City of Seaside does not receive ESG funds from HUD. The City relies on the County of Monterey and nonprofit groups to perform these social service functions.

Table 3 – Other local / regional / federal planning efforts Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(l))
The collaborative implementation of this Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) over the course of the next five years begins with the coordinated efforts of multiple public agencies working together to gather feedback and information for regional and local community needs and priorities. Once needs and priorities are identified, they are then incorporated into the City’s ConPlan, forming both regional and local strategies for addressing those needs and priorities.
Stakeholders, including those listed in the table above, provided feedback on priorities, issues, and solutions in relation to CDBG-eligible activities including housing, neighborhood revitalization, and low- to moderate-income household issues. They were asked about their top priorities, how to strategically undertake neighborhood revitalization, address local housing problems, build local organization support, assist families vulnerable to crisis, outline broadband internet issues, and provide input on how the jurisdiction could best spend its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding.

The highest identified need in the City of Seaside is increased affordable housing opportunities. HUD’s CHAS dataset identifies four total housing problems: (1) lack of complete kitchen facilities, (2) lack of complete plumbing facilities, (3) cost burden, and (4) overcrowding. The most common housing problem faced by Seaside residents is cost burden, with approximately 74 percent of the City’s LMI households spending 30 percent or more of their gross household income on housing costs.
Renters in particular face higher rates of cost burden. Of the 3,838 LMI households experiencing cost burden, nearly 79 percent are renters. The majority of these renter households are very lowincome, earning between 30 to 50 percent AMI.
This section also provides an overview of housing problems faced by special needs populations, including elderly households, persons with disabilities, victims of domestic violence, and households who were either previously homeless or who are at imminent risk of becoming homeless.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
According to the 2016-2020 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, approximately 25 percent of Seaside households are comprised of households living alone. While it is difficult to estimate the number of single-person households in need of housing assistance from the data available, having only one household income increases the probability of needing housing assistance if financial hardship occurs. In addition, single-person senior households in the City may require housing assistance due to their specific needs. In Seaside, almost nine percent of single-person
DRAFT
households are senior households (65 years of age and over). Many seniors are Packet Page 367

reliant on Social Security Income which may make it challenging to access affordable housing due to their limited income.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
According to 2016-2020 ACS 5-Year Estimates, approximately 24 percent of Seaside residents reported living with a disability. The most prevalent disabilities included are ambulatory difficulty, affecting 6.2 percent of the population, and independent living difficulty, affecting 5.1 percent of the population. Residents also reported cognitive difficulties (4.9 percent), hearing difficulties (3.3 percent), self-care disabilities (2.9 percent), and vision disabilities (1.9 percent). Disabilities regarding cognition, independent living, and self-care offer insight into the number of households who may require special needs housing. Further, the National Disability Institute reports that working-age people with disabilities are much less likely to be employed compared to their nondisabled counterparts. Individuals with disabilities also may rely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) as their only source of income, exacerbating economic hardship due to limited income.
Assessing the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking can be challenging due to limited data on these populations and the probability of chronic underreporting. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system, there were 11 reported cases of rape in the City of Seaside in 2019. The Department of Justice (DOJ) also reports data on domestic violence calls by jurisdiction. In 2023, the DOJ reported 135 domestic violencerelated calls for assistance in Seaside. This is a 33.6 percent increase for calls for service in the period between 2020 to 2023. Even more troubling, approximately 82 percent of cases reported in 2023 involved a weapon.
According to the 2024 Monterey County Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, 34 percent of surveyed homeless individuals reported a history of being physically, emotionally, or sexually abused, while six percent reported currently experiencing physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. The Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) and the City of Seaside continue to collaborate with local service organizations working with single women and children who have become homeless as a result of domestic violence.
What are the most common housing problems?
The most common housing problem faced by Seaside residents is cost burden, followed by overcrowding. Cost burden is defined as households expending 30 percent or more of their income on housing costs, while severe cost burden is defined as households expending 50 percent or more of their income on housing costs.
DRAFT
In all, 3,838 low-to-moderate income (LMI)
Packet Page 368
Seaside Consolidated Plan 2025-2029
Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 30
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
are cost burdened, with almost 83 percent of LMI renters experiencing cost burden to some degree.
Cost burden can contribute to overcrowding, which is the second most common housing problem faced by residents. Overcrowded households are defined as households with more than one person per room, while severely overcrowded households are defined as households with more than 1.51 persons per room. This does not include married couples. In all, 758 households in the City are overcrowded. Since the 2020-2025 ConPlan, overcrowding has decreased by almost 23 percent for renters but has increased by 88 percent for owners. Despite the increase in overcrowded owner households, overcrowding remains more common in renter households, where households are more likely to either have more than one roommate per room or contain multi-generational family members living together to reduce costs.
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Small, related households who rent and earn less than 80 percent of the average median income (AMI) are more likely to experience cost burden. Small, related households who rent with incomes at 50 to 80 percent AMI are much more subject to severe cost burden. Rental households of all income levels are much more likely to have inadequate housing problems than those who own their homes. In addition, elderly households represent approximately 27 percent of LMI households experiencing cost burden and almost 39 percent of LMI households experiencing severe cost burden. In terms of overcrowding, single family renter households represent the largest proportion of households experiencing overcrowding issues (61 percent).
Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance Extremely low-income households are households earning between 0 to 30 percent of the area median income (AMI). In the City of Seaside, approximately 12 percent of all households fall into the extremely low-income category. They make up 1,285 total households and almost 13 percent of these extremely low-income households have children aged six years or younger. Extremely low-income households with small children may face particular risks of becoming homeless, residing in shelters, or becoming unsheltered, due to trying to balance housing costs, childcare costs, healthcare costs, and work schedule times. The largest proportion of extremely lowincome households in the City are small family households (37 percent) followed by households with at least one person aged 62 to 74 (

22 percent). In all, there are 435 extremely low-income Packet Page 369

Not applicable.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
Housing characteristics most commonly linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness include high cost burden (the gap between income and the high cost of housing), a tight rental market, and a shortage of affordable housing. These factors are further compounded by job loss and a high unemployment rate, along with personal circumstances such as health conditions, mental illness, substance abuse, and trauma. According to the 2024 Monterey County Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, 79 percent of the 2,436 unhoused individuals in the County reported an inability to afford rent as their primary obstacle to obtaining housing. 81 percent were residing in the County when they first became homeless. Data on how many homeless persons in the City alone were residing in the area when they first became homeless is unavailable.
Discussion
The City of Seaside’s 2025-2029 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) shows a substantial increase in the cost of housing. From 2012 to 2022, the median housing value increased by 60 percent while median gross rent increased by almost 50 percent. The AI also reflected on average rental housing prices. While the cost of rent in the City is less than in surrounding jurisdictions in the County, the prices continue to trend upward and remain unaffordable to the City’s lowest-income residents, resulting in high levels of cost burden. The Monterey Bay area is viewed as an extremely desirable place to live. Compounded with barriers to new development, hou

Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction
This section assesses whether racial or ethnic groups have disproportionately greater severe housing needs than the general population. For purposes of this ConPlan, disproportionately greater need is assumed to exist when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group is at least 10 percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in the category as a whole.
Severe housing problems are defined below as:
Lack of complete kitchen facilities
Lack of complete plumbing facilities
More than 1.5 persons per room
Cost burden exceeding 50 percent of monthly gross income Analysis through the tables presented below reveal disproportionately greater need in terms of severe housing problems for extremely low-income Pacific Islander and Hispanic households, very low-income Pacific Islander households, low-income Black or African American, Asian, and Pacific Islander households, and median-income Asian and Hispanic households. 0%-30% of Area Median Income

The following is an analysis of the rates of severe housing problems experienced amongst racial and ethnic groups by income bracket. Racial and ethnic groups experiencing severe need at disproportionate rates are bolded.
77 percent of households with 0 to 30 percent AMI (0-30% AMI) experienced one or more of the four severe housing problems:
67 percent of White households experienced at least one severe housing problem. 83 percent of Black or African American households experienced at least one severe housing problem.
50 percent of Asian households experienced at least one severe housing problem. There was no available data for American Indian or Alaska Native households. 100 percent of Pacific Islander households experienced at least one severe housing problem.
89 percent of Hispanic households experienced at least one severe housing problem. 66 percent of households with 30 to 50 percent AMI (30-50% AMI) experienced one or more of the four severe housing problems:
70 percent of White households experienced at least one severe housing problem. 57 percent of Black or African American households experienced at least one severe housing problem.
50 percent of Asian households experienced at least one severe housing problem.

There was no available data for American Indian or Alaska Native households. 100 percent of Pacific Islander households experienced at least one severe housing problem.
65 percent of Hispanic households experienced at least one severe housing problem. 37 percent of households with 50 to 80 percent AMI (50-80% AMI) experienced one or more of the four severe housing problems:
27 percent of White households experienced at least one severe housing problem. 55 percent of Black or African American households experienced at least one severe housing problem.
48 percent of Asian households experienced at least one severe housing problem. No American Indian or Alaska Native households experienced severe housing problems. 60 percent of Pacific Islander households experienced at least one severe housing problem.
41 percent of Hispanic households experienced at least one severe housing problem. 19 percent of households with 80 to 100 percent AMI (80-100% AMI) experienced one or more of the four severe housing problems:
16 percent of White households experienced at least one severe housing problem. 3 percent of Black or African American households experienced at least one severe housing problem.
29 percent of Asian households experienced at least one severe housing problem. There was no available data for American Indian or Alaska Native households. No Pacific Islander households experienced severe housing problems. 30 percent of Hispanic households experienced at least one severe housing problem.

NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction:
Housing cost burden is defined as a household spending more than 30 percent or more of its gross income on housing expenses. A severe cost burden exists when a household expends more than 50 percent of its gross income on housing expenses. A disproportionately greater need is assumed to exist when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group is at least 10 percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in the category as a whole.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units:
The Five-Year Agency Plan details the Housing Authority's strategy for meeting the housing needs of families within the jurisdiction and those on the waiting list for the upcoming year. Currently, the waiting list for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Family Public Housing programs is closed. However, the Housing Authority continues to issue new vouchers as funding permits. The HACM provides a waiting list preference for victims of domestic violence.
Housing Choice Voucher Waiting List (Section 8):
Current Status: Closed
Last Opened: July 1, 2024 (9:00 am) to July 12, 2024 (11:59 pm) While the HACM has no public housing stock, it continues to cultivate partnerships with service providers that increase services to the elderly and disabled that support independent living.
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders Low- and moderate-income participants in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program require ongoing access to housing assistance. Many also need additional support to maintain housing stability, such as Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) programs, case management, and access to mental health and disability services.
Eligibility for a rental voucher is determined by the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) based on total annual gross income and family size. Generally, a family's income must not exceed 50 percent of the median income for the County or metropolitan area where they choose to live. HUD publishes these median income levels, which vary by location, and HACM can DRAFT Packet Page 387
Seaside Consolidated Plan 2025-2029
Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 49
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
provide the specific income limits for different areas and family sizes. Applicants on the waiting list who are victims of domestic violence are given preference.
During the application process, HACM collects information on family income, assets, and composition. This information is verified with local agencies, employers, and banks to determine program eligibility and the eligible amount of rental assistance. If a household is deemed eligible, HACM will place its name on a waiting list unless immediate assistance is available. Once an applicant’s name reaches the top of the list, HACM will contact the household to assess eligibility and then issue a rental voucher if applicable.
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The HACM requires that households eligible HCVs must not have an income that exceeds 50 percent of the area median income (AMI). Approximately 31 percent of Seaside’s households earn 50 percent or less of the AMI. Of these households, the majority are made up of small families. When looking specifically at renter households in this income level, 2,165 are cost burdened (spending 30 percent or more of income on housing), 525 are severely cost burdened (spending 50 percent or more of income on housing), and 349 experience overcrowding issues.
When more than 30 percent of a household’s income is allocated to housing costs, the result is often a difficulty with paying for other essential goods and services. This means that the lowestincome households who cannot access HCVs or affordable housing may not have enough money to adequately meet their other needs, such as food, healthcare, education, and more. HCV holders have less net income as compared to residents with higher incomes. The HCV program helps to meet the needs of extremely low- and very low-income households by alleviating cost burden, preventing homelessness, and leaving more budget for other essential needs.
Discussion
Through the HACM, there are approximately 306 Seaside residents with Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs). The majority of these households, 123, are elderly families, followed by 105 families with disabilities. As of 2024, there are currently 298 Seaside residents on the waiting list for HCVs. In addition to HCVs, the HACM also administers one family unification, one mainstream, 17 emergency housing, and 27 HUD-VASH vouchers in Seaside.
County of Monterey residents receiving HCVs from the HACM must meet income eligibility requirements of not exceeding 50 percent of the area median income (AMI). For Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, that is $66,200 for a family of four in the City of Seaside. According to 2016-2020 CHAS data, approximately 31 percent of Seaside households earn 50 percent or less of the AMI.

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)
Introduction:
From January 31, 2024, to February 27, 2024, the Coalition of Homeless Service Providers (CHSP) led the 2024 Monterey County Point-in-Time (PIT) Homelessness Count. The PIT count surveyed sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals across the County, collecting counts of persons experiencing homelessness along with demographic characteristics, current living situations, and circumstances prior to becoming homeless. This data is crucial in assessing the needs of residents experiencing homelessness.
In the City of Seaside, homelessness increased by approximately 44 percent between 2022 and 2024, from 152 individuals to 219 individuals. Unsheltered homelessness in the City grew by 50 people (55 percent), while sheltered homelessness grew by 17 people (27 percent). Detailed information regarding demographic characteristics, current living situations, and circumstances prior to becoming homeless are only available for the County as a whole. While homelessness in the City increased by 44 percent, the County as a whole saw a lesser increase of 19 percent overall.
If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth):
Across the County of Monterey, the majority of homeless survey respondents (78 percent) reported having been homeless for one year or more. This represents a seven percent decrease in long-term homelessness from 2022. Data specific to only the City of Seaside is unavailable.
However, the PIT count also reports:
7-11 months homeless, 9 percent
4-6 months homeless, 8 percent
1-3 months homeless, 3 percent
8-30 days homeless, 1 percent
7 days or less homeless, 1 percent
Chronically homeless individuals across Monterey County totaled 820 persons, homeless veterans totaled 146 persons, members of homeless families with children totaled 366 persons, and unaccompanied homeless youth (under the age of 25) totaled 233 persons. 79 percent of chronically homeless individuals were unsheltered, with 58 percent reporting financial issues, 40 percent reporting alcohol or drug use, and 21 percent reporting incarceration.

percent of homeless veterans were unsheltered, 45 percent of homeless families with children were unsheltered, and 90 percent of unaccompanied homeless youth were unsheltered.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans.
Based on the 2024 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count for Monterey County, the estimated number and type of families in need of housing assistance are as follows:
Families with Children: There are 366 families with children experiencing homelessness, with 45 percent sheltered and 55 percent unsheltered.
Families of Veterans: There are 146 veterans experiencing homelessness, with 55 percent sheltered and 45 percent unsheltered.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.
The 2024 Monterey County Point-in-Time count generated the following statistics:
25 percent of the homeless population identified as White only. 44 percent identified as Hispanic/Latina/e/o only.
14 percent identified as Black, African, or African American only. Eight percent identified as multi-race.
Four percent identified as Asian or Asian American only. Two percent identified as American Indian, Alaska Native, or Indigenous only. Two percent identified as Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander only. One percent identified as Middle Eastern or North African only. By gender: 66 percent identified as male, 32 percent as female, and one percent as transgender.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.
Monterey County, along with agencies nationwide, conducts a Point-in-Time (PIT) count every two years to measure the prevalence of homelessness within each local CoC. On January 31, 2024, a Point-in-Time Survey was conducted, including both sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals in Monterey County. This survey provided valuable insights into the characteristics and needs of the County's homeless population, including demographics, current living situations, and circumstances prior to becoming homeless. This data is crucial for assessing the needs of those experiencing homelessness.
The 2024 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count for Monterey County provides a detailed snapshot of both unsheltered and sheltered homelessness in the area.

On any given night in the City, there are 219
Packet Page 390
Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 52
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
individuals experiencing homelessness, marking a 44 percent increase from 2022. Across the County, there are 2,436 individuals experiencing homelessness on any given night. City of Seaside Unsheltered Homelessness: Approximately 64 percent of the homeless population in Seaside is unsheltered, meaning they live in places not meant for human habitation, such as streets, parks, vehicles, or abandoned buildings. These individuals often face significant challenges, including exposure to the elements, lack of access to basic amenities, and increased vulnerability to health issues and safety concerns. City of Seaside Sheltered Homelessness: The remaining 36 percent of the homeless population is sheltered, residing in emergency shelters, transitional housing, or other temporary accommodations. While these individuals have access to basic services and a safer environment compared to those who are unsheltered, they still face instability and uncertainty about their long-term housing situation due to the temporary nature of their living situation.
Discussion:
Like other jurisdictions across the State of California and the country, homelessness in Seaside is on the rise. Between 2022 and 2024, the Point-in-Time count revealed an increase of approximately 44 percent in persons in the City experiencing homelessness. The majority of homeless individuals in the City are unsheltered (approximately 64 percent). In 2021, the first homeless shelter for women and families with children in the Monterey Peninsula opened in Seaside through a collaboration between Community Human Services (CHS) and Gathering for Women (GFW). Casa de Noche Buena is a low-barrier emergency shelter offering wrap-around services and case management for up to 38 people at a time and for up to 90 days. Stays can be lengthened to up to six months, depending on the situation. Case managers work with guests to support a successful exit from homelessness.
The City of Seaside also has a Homeless Commission, focused on numerous tasks surrounding homelessness in the community. The Commission engages in community listening sessions and provides funds through an annual stipend to Casa de Noche Buena and other shelters, to groups assisting homeless youth with school supplies and meals, and to food insecurity programs that feed the homeless population. Further, the Commission is currently trying to set up a mobile hygiene program for unsheltered homeless individuals in the community.
Stakeholder interviews revealed a community need for youth homelessness prevention, support for unhoused students, mental health and substance use services, a pathway to clear minor crimes, increased case management and wrap-around services, eviction intervention, mobile hygiene services, and a mental health focused response. Stakeholders also expressed an opposition to street sweeping of homeless encampments stating that it is counterproductive to DRAFT Packet Page 391

Elderly Households
HUD defines elderly persons as persons aged 62 or older. According to 2016-2020 ACS estimates, 12 percent of the Seaside population are elderly. The elderly face unique housing challenges due to three main factors: limited or fixed income, healthcare costs, and disabilities. Many seniors are retired and live on fixed incomes, making it difficult to afford major home repairs or significant rent increases. Consequently, seniors have special needs for affordable housing and supportive services. The Monterey Area Agency on Aging recognizes these needs, emphasizing that senior housing must be both affordable and accessible, with features like bathroom hardware to aid mobility.
Persons with Mental, Physical, or Developmental Disabilities Individuals with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities may face barriers to employment, restricted mobility, or difficulties in self-care. These challenges create special housing needs related to limited earning capacity, a lack of accessible and affordable housing, and higher healthcare costs. Developmentally disabled residents may require institutional settings, but many can live and work independently in conventional housing. More severely disabled individuals might need supervised group living environments, while the most severely disabled require medical attention and physical therapy. These conditions highlight the special housing needs of persons with disabilities.

According to 2016-2020 ACS data, 24.3 percent of Seaside’s population has at least one disability.
In the order of most prevalent to least prevalent, these include ambulatory difficulty (6.2 percent), independent living difficulty (5.1 percent), cognitive difficulty (4.9 percent), hearing difficulty (3.3 percent), self-care difficulty (2.9 percent), and vision difficulty (1.9 percent).
Large Family Households
Large households, defined as those with five or more members, often face special housing needs due to a limited supply of adequately sized, affordable housing units. Lower-income large renter households typically encounter issues such as cost burden, overcrowding, and deteriorated housing conditions. According to 2016-2020 CHAS data, approximately 12 percent of households in the City are large family households. Almost 40 percent of these large family households are extremely low-, very low-, to low-income.
Female-Headed Households
Single-parent households, particularly those headed by females, often require special assistance due to their greater need for affordable housing and access to daycare, healthcare, and other supportive services. With lower household incomes, female-headed households have limited housing options and restricted access to necessary supportive services. In Seaside, the presence of the United States Navy may increase the proportion of female-headed households in practice, if not on paper.
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
Elderly Households
Meeting the housing needs of elderly residents can be particularly challenging due to their fixed incomes and special care requirements, which often stem from physical disabilities, health care costs, and other limitations. In addition to affordable housing, seniors need services that help maintain their independence, such as protective services for health and safety, in-home support for daily activities, conservators for personal and financial care, public administration for estate management, and networks of care providing a variety of daily assistance.
During stakeholder interviews, stakeholders emphasized the need for an expansion of housing options affordable and accessible to seniors in the community, including low-income housing restricted to seniors and persons with disabilities. Stakeholders also expressed that affordable and senior housing should be located in areas with easy access to resources such as public transit, healthcare, supermarkets, and pharmacies.

important,’ approximately 51 percent of respondents rated senior housing as ‘extremely important.’ The provision of senior services also received high ratings of ‘somewhat important’ and ‘extremely important’ in the Community Needs Survey.
Persons with Mental, Physical, or Developmental Disabilities Individuals with disabilities face unique housing challenges due to health costs, limited incomes, and a lack of accessible and affordable housing. Disabilities, as defined by state and federal agencies, include any long-term physical, mental, or emotional condition that impedes independent living and affects major life activities. Suitable housing options for people with developmental disabilities include rent-subsidized homes, licensed and unlicensed single-family homes, inclusionary housing, Section 8 housing, and HUD housing.
Interviews with stakeholders revealed a need for increased affordable housing options for persons with disabilities along with the placement of resources near those housing options.
Stakeholders also expressed the need for increased access to services to support persons with disabilities. Approximately 52 percent of Community Needs Survey respondents rated housing for persons with disabilities as ‘extremely important.’ Large Family Households
Large households, defined as those with five or more members, require larger housing units with four or more bedrooms to accommodate their needs. According to 2016-2020 ACS data, housing units with four or more bedrooms currently occupied include 464 owner units and 615 renter units, for a total of 1,079 large units. This represents approximately 10 percent of occupied housing units.
Female-Headed Households
Female-headed households often face special housing needs due to limited incomes and childcare requirements. These needs are particularly acute for female householders with children, as their incomes tend to be lower than those of male householders. Single-parent households generally have a higher ratio of living expenses to income, making it more challenging to find affordable, decent, and safe housing.

NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs – 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities:
Public facilities encompass a wide range of services, with effects of improvement positively benefitting the lives of low-income and special needs residents. During Stakeholder Interviews, stakeholders expressed a need for indoor gymnasium facilities, along with the importance of nonprofit community organizations and their physical locations. Nonprofit organizations throughout Seaside are places that echo community support and safety, as many low-income families and individuals depend on these organizations for supportive services and other needs.
In the Community Needs Survey, resident respondents consistently rated youth centers, neighborhood facilities, parks and recreational facilities, childcare centers, and health facilities as extremely important. Enhancing parks and community service facilities remains a top priority for the City of Seaside.
How were these needs determined?
Needs for public facilities were determined through the community engagement process.
Stakeholder interviews, public meetings, and the Community Needs Survey informed the City about issues in the community and what residents believe would be most beneficial. In addition, the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) hosts workshops to assess and address community needs.
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements:
Public improvements encompass a wide range of services that positively benefit the quality of life for residents, including low-income and special needs residents. During stakeholder interviews, stakeholders identified a need to address the City’s aging storm drain system to prevent sinkholes and flooding, improved roadways and pedestrian infrastructure, and either the expansion or maintenance of the City’s sewer system. When community members in the Community Needs Survey were asked to rank public improvements most needed from least to extremely important, residents rated the following as extremely important:
Street Improvements (64.15 percent)

Consistently, the City strives to direct a significant portion of available resources to the development of new affordable housing. When developing affordable housing, the City refers to the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) as a gauge. Determined by the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG), the City’s RHNA for the 2023-2031 planning period includes 616 total housing units, with 86 very low-income, 55 low-income, 156 moderate-income, and 319 above moderate-income units. The City anticipates the development of 112 accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in addition to two approved housing projects (Enclave at Cypress Grove and Campus Town). Under the existing Land Use policy, the City can accommodate 197 units (132 lower- and 65 moderate-income) in the identified vacant and underutilized sites.
First kicked off in 2018, the City’s Campus Town project is proposed to include 1,485 housing units within a mix of housing types, including single-family detached, single-family attached, and multi-family buildings. In order to produce affordable housing, the City has an inclusionary housing ordinance requiring that all new developments contain at least 20 percent units restricted for occupancy to very low-, low-, or moderate-income households.
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
State Housing Element law requires the analysis of government-assisted housing units that are eligible to convert from low-income housing to market-rate housing during the next 10 years due to expiring subsidies, mortgage prepayments, or expiration of affordability restrictions and the development of programs aimed at their preservation. Currently, the City has five affordable housing projects totaling 447 units. These include the Hannon Assembled Apartments (133 units), Del Monte Manor (192 units), 5200 Coe Avenue (36 units), Villa Del Monte (80 units), and 1491 Contra Costa Street (6 units). These are funded through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), Section 8, the Inclusionary Housing Requirement, Section 202, and the Inclusionary Housing and Density Bonus. No affordable units are at current risk of being lost.
The City will continue the practice of using Affordable Purchase/Rental Housing Agreements to secure the affordability of housing on a long-term basis.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Seaside has some of the lowest housing costs on the Monterey Peninsula. A simple way of ensuring housing units meet population needs is by having a wide diversity of housing types at a range of prices. While Seaside has a strong mix of owner and renter units, with varying numbers of bedrooms. According to 2016-2020 CHAS data, 3,838 households earning between 0 to 80 percent AMI are cost burdened, expending 30 percent or more of their income on housing. These households represent almost 36 percent of all Seaside households.
DRAFT
The majority of these
Packet Page 403
Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 65
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
households, approximately 79 percent, are renters. This reflects an increased need for rental housing units affordable to those earning between 0 to 80 percent AMI.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
The City needs to increase its housing stock in order to meet affordability needs of LMI households. Renters, in particular, face higher rates of cost burden compared to their homeowner neighbors. Increasing the amount of affordable housing available in the community while simultaneously maintaining the existing housing stock remains a high priority. The City will address the affordable housing needs of low-income households by encouraging developers to build deed-restricted affordable units for purchase by low/mod residents and encouraging more rental assistance to reduce cost burden for low-income renters.
The City also needs housing to meet the needs of its senior population and households with disabilities. These needs may include affordability restrictions, proximity to services, and accessible units.
Discussion
The City is actively working on several housing projects, including the development of Campus Town which will feature a mix of unit types. With an inclusionary housing ordinance requiring that 20 percent of units in a new development be restricted to low incomes, the City strives to build a healthy mix of units. Open-ended responses to the Consolidated Plan Community Needs Survey showed that many respondents express a desire for more affordable housing development in the City. Stakeholder interviews reflected similar sentiments.

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction
This section analyzes the cost of housing in the City of Seaside. Housing costs have the potential to cause housing issues within a community, particularly when costs are too high relative to household income. This results in both cost burden and overcrowding.
Since the 1980s public housing rents have been capped at 30 percent of income. This cap is widely adopted throughout the country as the benchmark for housing affordability. According to HUD, households that spend more than 30 percent oftheir income on housing are cost burdened, while households with one or more persons per bedroom are overcrowded (excluding married couples and young children). As shown in NA-10, nearly 74 percent of the City’s households earning between 0 to 80 percent AMI are cost burdened, while approximately 11 percent of the City’s households earning between 0 to 100 percent AMI are overcrowded.
Housing costs in the City have continued to change since adoption of the 2020 Consolidated Plan that was based on 2011-2015 ACS data. Since then, the median home value (HMC) in Seaside has increased by 56 percent and the median contract rent (MCR) has increased by 29 percent. Just
17.8 percent of Seaside households pay $999 or less on monthly rent.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? A review of the current data demonstrates that there is a lack of available affordable housing for varying income levels. Rental units affordable to those earning between 0 to 30 percent AMI only fulfill 29 percent of the City’s needs. In terms of ownership housing and current household owners, there are insufficient existing units affordable to households earning between 30 to 100 percent AMI. Data was not available for ownership units affordable to households earning between 0 to 30 percent AMI or rental units affordable to households earning between 80 to 100 percent AMI.
The analysis demonstrates a need for increased rental housing affordable to extremely lowincome households and for ownership housing affordable to a wide range of income levels.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
Given upward market trends and levels of inflation, it is likely that housing affordability in Seaside will continue to be a challenge. Housing affordability challenges are more likely to impact extremely low

If available affordable housing stock continues to be constrained, then, as the City’s population increases, it is anticipated that prices will continue to increase as well due to higher pressure on the housing market. As reflected in Table 33, Seaside’s median home value (MHV) increased by 56 percent between the 2015 and 2020 ACS 5-Year Estimates. Simultaneously, median contract rent (MCR) increased by 29 percent, from $1,316 to $1,694. According to 2016-2020 ACS data, approximately 82 percent of renter households in Seaside pay $1,000 or more on rent each month. This number has been trending upwards, with 70.6 percent of Seaside renters in 2015 expending $1,000 or more on rent monthly.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? According to 2023 ACS 5-Year Estimates,the median gross rent for the City of Seaside was $2,314.
By number of bedrooms, median gross rent was: $1,325 (studio unit), $1,682 (one-bedroom), $2,123 (two-bedroom), $2,876 (three-bedroom), and $2,944 (four-bedroom). Comparatively, HUD’s fair market rent (FMR) for each bedroom size in the County of Monterey in 2023 was higher than each rental cost reported by ACS. This reflects how Seaside typically has less expensive rental costs as compared with neighboring cities.
The City of Seaside does not currently participate in the HOME program.
Discussion
In the ConPlan Community Survey, participants were asked if affordable housing is available to them and their families in the City of Seaside. Approximately 69 percent of respondents reported that affordable housing is not available to them. While housing in Seaside continues to be more affordable when compared to other cities in the Monterey Peninsula, costs are still high relative to incomes and are continuing to grow.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
This section of the ConPlan discusses the City’s existing housing supply, the age and condition of housing units, the number of vacant and abandoned units, and the risks posed by lead-based paint (LBP).
As shown in MA-10, 60 percent of the housing stock in the City of Seaside is single-family detached, while multi-unit structures make up 25 percent of the housing stock. Of the City’s 11,590 total existing housing stock, 723 units are vacant.
As is common in much of the United States, most residential development in Seaside occurred between 1950 and 1979 and are therefore at-risk of posing LBP hazards. LBP was popularized in the early twentieth century but was banned for use in public housing through the Lead-Based Paint Act of 1971 and later in 1978 for use in private residential housing. According to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), LBP can be found on window frames, walls, on the outside of a home, or on other surfaces. While LBP in good condition does not typically post a threat, chipped paint or paint dust is harmful when ingested and is of particular concern for young children. According to 2016-2020 CHAS data, approximately 73 percent of the City’s housing stock was built prior to 1980.
Table 37 of this section portrays the condition of housing stock in Seaside. HUD defines “housing conditions” similarly to the definition of “housing problems” discussed throughout the Needs Assessment. These conditions include:
1. More than one person per room;
2. Cost burden greater than 30 percent;
3. Lack of complete plumbing; and
4. Lack of complete kitchen facilities.
Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation":
The City uses California Health and Safety Code Section 17920.3 to determine habitability. The code states in part: “Any building or portion thereof, regardless of zoning designation or approved uses of the building, including any dwelling unit, guestroom or suite of rooms, or the premises on which the same is located, in which there exists any of the following listed conditions to an extent that endangers the life, limb, health, property, safety, or welfare of the occupants of the building, nearby residents, or the public shall be deemed and hereby is declared to be a substandard building.”
DRAFT Packet Page 408
Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 70
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City’s Municipal Code provides general acceptability criteria for all existing living unit properties and defines unacceptable conditions. The code states in part that unacceptable conditions include:
“A) Buildings in which adequate attic and/or roof and/or basementless space ventilation has not been provided to prevent conditions conducive to dampness, decay, fungi and/or insect infestation and deterioration of the structure; B) Buildings constructed on wood mud sills resting directly on the ground; C) Crawl space vents with vent bottom less than six inches above the finish grade. Minimum clearance between bottom of floor joists or bottom of floors without joists and the ground beneath shall be eighteen inches.
Minimum clearance under girders shall be twelve inches; D) Foundations with top of wall less than six inches above ground; and E) Wood, siding, floors, and/or door casings or sills in contact with ground or outside paving” (Ord. 796 § 1 (part), 1991).
The City conducts general code compliance citywide through the Building & Code Enforcement Division of the Building Department. Code compliance is complaint-based; staff do not actively seek code violations. Staff contacts the person against whom a complaint was filed to request an inspection to assess whether a code violation does exist. City staff works with individuals to correct violations, with corrections including improvement of substandard housing conditions and blight as well as neighborhood safety.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
A significant portion of Seaside’s housing stock, almost 73 percent, was built more than 45 years ago. According to 2016-2020 CHAS data, approximately 56 percent of occupied housing units have one or more housing conditions. As defined by HUD, housing conditions include a lack of complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, overcrowding, and cost burden. Rehabilitation is costly and lower-income households may struggle to afford the higher maintenance costs of older homes.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In the Consolidated Plan Community Survey, approximately 83 percent of participants reported homeowner housing rehabilitation and apartment building rehabilitation as somewhat or extremely important. Interviews with stakeholders further revealed a perceived need for homeowner housing rehabilitation and rental housing rehabilitation for LMI households.
Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low-or-Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards
According to 2016-2020 CHAS data and ACS 5-Year Estimates, 19 percent of the City’s owneroccupied housing and two percent of its renter-occupied housing units are at-risk of lead-based paint (LBP) hazards. These estimates total the number of housing units built prior to 1980 in which children are present. While LBP is not typically a threat when undisturbed, children are vulnerable to LBP poisoning due to ingesting chipped paint or paint dust.
The City adheres to HUD and any additional government guidelines and requirements involving LBP hazard mitigation and removal. The City continues to address the issue of LBP hazards impacting LMI families by providing notices to landlords and tenants who participate in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, borrowers/tenants of the previous CDBG Rehabilitation Loan Program, and homebuyers who use other federal or state funds, warning them of the hazards of LBP. Through the creation of new affordable housing units, low-income households are able to reside in new housing units that are free of lead-based paint hazards.
Lead-based paint brochures are available to residents and are distributed at Planning and Building Department permit counters.

MA-30 Homeless Facilities and Services – 91.210(c)
Introduction
Homelessness is a statewide issue in California. The City of Seaside collaborates with and relies on a vast network of public and nonprofit agencies in the Continuum of Care (CoC) system to provide a range of housing options and services. The CoC system strives to provide and expand housing opportunities for the homeless and formerly homeless, through emergency shelters, transitional housing, supportive housing, and permanent housing. Outreach, assessment, and case management services are also offered through this network to assist the homeless in transitioning to permanent housing. Three main entities are responsible for planning a CoC to address homelessness: the Monterey County Department of Social Services (DSS), the Coalition of Homeless Services Providers (Homeless Coalition), and the Leadership Council (CoC Governing Body). The group meets throughout the year with a primary focus on the implementation of the comprehensive, 5-Year Plan to End Homelessness known as Lead Me Home.
According to the 2024 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, 219 individuals are experiencing homelessness in Seaside. This is a 20 percent increase from the 2019 PIT Count. The strategy to alleviate homelessness includes providing financial and technical assistance to support the efforts of homeless service providers.

The Homeless Full Services Partnership Program reaches out to the most underserved and difficult-to-reach homeless adults, connecting them with essential services such as health care, mental health treatment, and housing.
Employment Services
Among those enrolled in CoC-funded programs, 25 percent have earned income. Homeless clients are referred to the Employment Development Department and Workforce Investment Act One-Stop Centers. Additionally, the Homeless Veteran Reintegration Program offers specialized employment services to homeless veterans.
List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth.

The County’s Lead Me Home Plan includes several policies that are particularly aimed at the chronically homeless. One goal of the plan is to implement a Housing First program, which is a nationally recognized approach for addressing homelessness evolved from the recognition of the vital role of housing in a person’s life. Under Housing First, the goal is to help people regain housing as quickly as possible, without numerous prerequisites such as employment, sobriety, or acceptance of services. Chronically homeless or disabled individuals especially need their housing linked with services for services to have a long term, positive effect on their lives. This is known as permanent supportive housing, and it provides people with the range of services and support they need to maintain residential stability, realize health and wellness, and achieve maximum self-sufficiency. These facilities help people access permanent housing in conjunction with services to address the issues that have contributed to their homelessness, including health or behavioral health treatment and education or job training to enhance their employability and earning potential.

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d) Introduction
Many non-homeless individuals require supportive housing and services to live independently and avoid homelessness or institutionalization. This includes individuals returning from mental health and physical health institutions. As discussed in the Needs Assessment section of this Plan, these subpopulations include, but are not limited to:
The elderly
Persons with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities Persons with HIV/AIDS
Victims of domestic violence
Children leaving group homes or aging out of foster care Farmworkers
Substance abusers
This section provides a summary of the facilities and services available to these subpopulations, as noted in the previous section (MA30 Homeless Facilities and Services). It is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all services, facilities, programs, or agencies serving these subpopulations in Seaside and Monterey County. Additionally, many of the agencies mentioned below also serve homeless individuals, as discussed in the previous section (MA-30 Homeless Facilities and Services).
Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs
Elderly and frail elderly
Many seniors, even homeowners, face financial challenges due to limited incomes. Senior households, especially those on limited incomes, need affordable housing. Seniors also face housing challenges related to physical disabilities, including declining mobility and self-care issues that interfere with their ability to remain independent. Seniors have a variety of housing options, includin DRAFT

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Independent living – Seniors reside in their home or apartment with little support or care. Assisted living facilities – Seniors maintain a level of independence, residing in an apartment, and receive varied levels of support and assistance such as light housekeeping, meals, transportation, and/or medication. Residential care facilities – Typically, smaller licensed facilities, often with 6 or fewer residents, provide services like those offered by assisted living facilities.
Intermediate care or skilled nursing facilities – Licensed facilities providing a higher, continuous level of professional care.
Although a variety of housing options are available to seniors in Seaside, facilities providing supportive services, and a higher level of care are expensive. Most affordable senior housing is classified as independent living and does not provide supportive services. Lowerincome seniors often cannot afford many of the housing options and consequently remain in independent living situations, struggling with self-care issues. The Monterey County Department of Social Services provides a Senior Information, Referral, and Assistance hotline, which is the initial point of contact for people seeking information about senior services. The program specializes in information related to the needs of seniors and people with disabilities.
Persons with Disabilities
There are various types of disabilities, including sensory, physical, mental, and developmental, which can result in mobility, self-care, and employment limitations. Most disabled persons have significantly lower incomes than the non-disabled population and require housing assistance. While it is difficult to determine how many disabled individuals require supportive housing services, it can be assumed that those with mobility and/or self-care limitations have special needs and require in-home supportive services and special housing accommodations.
The Monterey County Commission on Disabilities provides guidance to the County Board of Supervisors regarding matters related to equal access to employment, public services, communications, and public accommodations for people with disabilities. The commission operates out of the Equal Opportunities Office, which is a primary resource for disabled persons in Monterey County, including Seaside.
Persons with mental health disabilities range from those who can live and work within the community to those with severe mental illness who require special housing accommodations,

System of Care provides a variety of services to the mentally ill and identifies housing as a constant struggle for the severely mentally ill. Mental health clients are typically low income, and their illnesses often result in rental or credit histories that do not meet typical rent requirements, limiting their housing options.
According to California Department of Social Services (DSS) licensing data, there are 28 adult residential facilities and three social rehabilitation facilities in Monterey County. These facilities are regulated by the DSS, Community Care Licensing Division.
Persons with alcohol or other drug addictions
Persons with alcohol or other drug addictions may need temporary or long-term alternative housing to aid recovery. Inpatient treatment involves overnight stay. Interim, Inc. offers home-like environments for this type of treatment. Some people may go to transitional housing after inpatient treatment. Transitional housing can include sober living homes and halfway houses. The goal of this housing is typically reintegration into society with relapse prevention.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
The CoC’s Coordinator and the Coalition of Homeless Services Providers (CHSP) completed a 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness, which involved extensive collaboration with the City of Seaside. The City coordinates homeless prevention strategies with the CoC and CHSP. A key element of this strategy is connecting those discharged from public institutions to assistance from agencies addressing housing, health, social services, employment, education and youth needs. Much of this coordination revolves around a referral system between Monterey County departments that oversee such institutions.
Programs that provide supportive services for persons with developmental disabilities include the following:

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment Public policies at the local, state, and federal levels can impact housing development in the City of Seaside. The City assesses existing policies for potential negative effects on housing and works to remove barriers to affordable housing through policy change.
Affordable Housing Funding: With the dissolution of the Seaside Redevelopment Agency, funds for affordable housing were drastically reduced, eliminating the primary source for new unit production. Without this public funding source, the pace and development of new unit construction is constrained. As with development, rehabilitation of affordable housing units has become challenging due to the dissolution of the Seaside Redevelopment Agency. However, Rehabilitation may be more feasible than New Unit Production because costs are lower.
Water Supply: There is currently only a limited amount of water to support additional development on the Monterey Peninsula. The City will annually monitor all efforts to augment the existing water supply and secure additional water for development, including but not limited to private water availability, the City’s In-Lieu Storage and Recovery Program, Pure Water Monterey and the Cal-Am Desalination Project.
Planning and Development Fees: Fees for a single-family residence or for a multifamily unit constitute no more than 10 percent of the building valuation (excluding land cost). However, some fees in the City are greater than in neighboring jurisdictions and may be a constraint to development.
Parking Requirements: Current zoning policies do not differentiate between parking requirements for a small (serving six persons or less) residential care facility and large facilities, although state law specifies that small facilities should not be subject to stricter zoning standards than other residential uses. According to the City of Seaside’s 2023-2031 Housing Element, the Zoning Ordinance should be modified to reflect this. Currently, large (serving seven or more individuals), licensed residential care facilities are only allowed via a Use Permit in certain zones. However, the City plans on modifying this so that large residential facilities are permitted in all zones that allow residential use and only subject to zoning requirements of other residential uses within the same zoning area.

The City plans on amending their Zoning Ordinance to conditionally permit SRO housing with objective design standards in the Commercial MixedUse zone.

This section of the Plan describes Seaside’s economic development asset needs, whereas the Needs Assessment section of this Plan, specifically NA-50 (Non-Housing Community Development Needs), describes the city’s needs for public facilities, improvements, and services.
Economic Development Market Analysis
The City of Seaside is located on the Monterey Peninsula. It is an ocean-side community overlooking Monterey Bay on the Central Coast of California, approximately 115 miles south of San Francisco. Founded in 1887 and incorporated in 1954, the 10-square-mile community continues to grow. The City is primarily a residential community with a tourist- and service-oriented economy. The Great Recession of 2007–2009 dramatically changed the trajectory of the global economy, prompting regions everywhere to reassess their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges. The City experienced much of the worst of the housing downturn and ensuing financial crisis from the Great Recession. Seaside continues to experience the lingering effects of that economic and housing downturn.
According to the State of California’s Employment Development Department (EDD), one of the major employers in the County of Monterey is the Department of Defense (DoD) Center, located in the City of Seaside. Of the EDD’s complete list of top County employers, the DoD is the only employer on the list located in Seaside. According to 2016-2020 ACS data, the majority of the City’s residents, 69.2 percent, are private company workers.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction?
Per the City of Seaside Draft General Plan Update from May 2016, the U.S. Defense Department was the top employer with an estimated 1,300 employees. California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) was reported as the second largest employer with 1,000 employees. In addition, the Business Activity tables indicate that the major employment sectors within Seaside include arts/entertainment/accommodations, education and health care services, and retail trade.
Seaside’s local economy includes tourism generated by the Monterey Bay and attractions along the Central Coast. The City also hosts a regional auto sales and services mall that provides significant income to the City and creates employment opportunities in Seaside. Unique restaurants have become prominent in the City and bring customers from as far away as the Bay Area.
Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
Employment needs are heavily related to tourism, so infrastructure that is safe and accessible is crucial. Advances in technology are important as communication via social media and on-line business transactions are increasingly important.
More than 60 percent of Seaside residents’ occupations fall into either the “management and professional” or “service” job categories. Seaside’s increasing educational attainment levels, along with regional employment trends, suggest potential growth in higher-paying management positions. In the Draft Economic Development Element of the updated General Plan, a goal has been named to diversify job opportunities within and beyond service industries and strengthen workforce development to provide residents with higher wage, better benefits, and succession employment opportunities in Seaside.
Community engagement results showed multiple stakeholders mention a need to attract technology companies to the area and support start-ups so that they might provide more opportunities with livable wages in Seaside. Per the survey, 81 percent of respondents said that employment training is Somewhat Important or Extremely Important when asked about services needed in Seaside.
Post-pandemic, many smaller businesses in Seaside are still facing significant challenges. Staffing shortages, wage pressures, and supply chain disruptions continue to strain these businesses, and inflationary pressures are likely to persist in the short term.
The Economic Development Element of the Seaside General Plan identifies the following key infrastructure

Pursue publicly funded catalytic projects and investments, such as shared public parking garages, streetscape improvements, and infrastructure upgrades and expansion that support the vitality of retail along Broadway Avenue and Fremont Boulevard. Maintain an alignment between the Capital Improvement Plan and the City’s related public works, public utilities, and transportation plans to ensure efficient delivery of infrastructure and utilities to support the City’s economic development goals. Seek innovative ways of financing infrastructure without unduly transferring the cost burden to the residential and business sector.
Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.
Development of the former Fort Ord will present opportunities for hiring local workers, particularly those currently in low income and participants in apprenticeship programs.
The Campus Town Specific Plan proposed project is a major redevelopment of 122 acres of Seaside. proposes the construction and operation of up to 1,485 housing units, 250 hotel rooms, 75 youth hostel beds, 150,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment uses, and 50,000 sf of office, flex, makerspace, and light industrial uses. The development also proposes park/recreational areas, including approximately nine acres of public open space and 3.3 acres of private open space, and supporting infrastructure. The project will generate significant revenues, sales taxes, property taxes, and transient occupancy taxes for the City.
The project redevelops a dilapidated portion of the former Fort Ord Army Base near the freeway interchange at Lightfighter Avenue and Highway 1. An EIR has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) which summarizes the characteristics of the Proposed Project, alternatives to the Proposed Project, and the environmental impacts and mitigation measures associated with the Proposed Project.
The Campus Town project will generate jobs and business growth in Seaside. It will also provide new commercial space and housing, which can provide opportunities for residents. This could partially address Seaside workforce’s current need for living-wage entry-level jobs. It will also generate additional demand for infrastructure in the northern part of the City, including fire services.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?

The current available workforce consists of 3,324 residents 25 years or older with less than a high school education. Many residents have backgrounds in hospitality or entry-level retail and may not have the technical expertise or language skills for higher level construction or retail management positions. According to 2016-2020 ACS 5-Year estimates, 31 percent of workers are employed in the ‘arts, entertainment, and accommodation’ sector, while 23 percent are employed in the ‘retail trade’ sector. There are currently high levels of employment in positions that are not considered “living wage.” With skills training for vocational trades and other positions open to workers without a college degree, employment opportunities for Seaside residents could increase and be in higher-paying positions.
Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
Monterey County offers a wide range of workforce development services, organizations, and programs, including recruitment, training, and incentive programs that jointly support local businesses and individuals seeking employment. Workforce development and employee assistance resources include:

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
Seaside has two 2025 HUD Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs). QCTs must have 50 percent of households with incomes below 60 percent of the Area Median Gross Income (AMGI) or have a poverty rate of 25 percent or more. This is considered a concentration of low-income housing or poverty within Seaside. As discussed in NA-20, a majority of households earning 0 to 50 percent AMI experienced one or more of the four severe housing problems. Therefore, it can be inferred that QCTs 137 and 140 have a concentration of housing problems. The QCTs include the Sand City, Cabrillo, Laguna Grande, Rousch, Terrace and Olympia neighborhoods of Seaside.
Households experiencing any one of four severe housing problems – (1) overcrowding; (2) substandard housing; (3) cost burden (paying more than 30 percent of household income for housing costs); and (4) severe cost burden (spending over 50 percent of household income for housing costs) – are concentrated in several areas of Seaside.
The City allocates investment of resources on a citywide basis. Resources targeted to new construction of affordable housing are allocated on a citywide basis. Resources targeted to special needs populations are also allocated on a citywide basis where needs are identified and/or where resources can be coordinated with existing facilities and services. Activities such as infrastructure improvements or business assistance are targeted to older, low-income neighborhoods most in need of assistance, including QCTs 137 and 140.
In accordance with HUD definitions, the City of Seaside has no racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAPs).
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") There are no racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAPs) within Seaside. HUD defines the racial/ethnic concentration as a non-white population of 50 percent or more. The poverty concentration threshold for a R/ECAP is defined as 40 percent or more of individuals living at or below the poverty line.
The definition of HUD of a Low-Mod Income (LMI) area is tracts that contain 51 percent LMI residents. Several tracts in Seaside are considered LMI areas. These tracts are on the western edge of the city, clustered around Fremont Boulevard. Hispanic residents tend to be concentrated in the part of Seaside running north-south between Fremont Boulevard and Noche Buena Street. Based on HUD standards and the 2016-2020 ACS 5-Year dataset, LMI areas in Seaside include:
DRAFT Packet Page 431

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Tract 135, Block Group 1 – 57.9% low-mod

Tract 137, Block Group 3 – 81% low-mod
Tract 140, Block Group 1 – 70.7% low-mod
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? More than 72 percent of occupied homes in Seaside were built before 1980. Seaside’s racial and ethnic minority communities and low-income neighborhoods are concentrated in its Opportunity Zones and Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs), specifically Census Tracts 135 and 137. These areas exhibit several notable market characteristics. Firstly, lower-income households are prevalent, with Census Tract 137 having a median household income of $40,000, significantly lower than the California state median of $80,000. Census Tract 135 has a median household income of $71,000, which is still below the state median. Additionally, a large percentage of households live below the poverty line, with Tract 137 showing a 24 percent poverty rate compared to the state average of 12 percent.
Housing costs in these neighborhoods are affordable but rising. Home values are lower than Seaside’s citywide median, with Census Tract 137 having a median home value of $365,000, significantly lower than surrounding areas like Monterey and Pacific Grove, where home values exceed $800,000 to $1 million. However, increasing housing costs are making it more difficult for lower-income families to purchase homes or remain in the area.
There is a high renter population and housing insecurity in these census tracts. Many residents rent rather than own homes, contributing to a high demand for affordable rental housing. The cost-burden rate, which is the percentage of income spent on rent or mortgage, is high, meaning many families struggle to afford stable housing.
These neighborhoods have a large Hispanic/Latino population, along with African American, Asian, and Pacific Islander communities. Census data shows that these tracts are more diverse than other areas in Monterey County, reinforcing the need for culturally responsive economic and housing policies.
Lastly, there is limited access to economic opportunities in these areas. A higher-than-average unemployment rate and a concentration of low-wage jobs, such as service and retail work, create barriers to economic mobility for residents. Businesses in these areas are often small and minority-owned but face challenges accessing capital for expansion or sustainability.
DRAFT Packet Page 432
Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 94
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? Despite economic challenges, these neighborhoods have strong community assets that contribute to their resilience and potential for growth. Educational institutions and workforce training programs play a significant role, with California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) providing educational access and workforce development programs for residents. Seaside High School and other local schools serve a large portion of the city’s minority and low-income youth.
Cultural and social networks are also vital assets. Strong community organizations and local advocacy groups support minority and low-income residents with housing assistance, employment programs, and social services. Cultural diversity is a major asset, reflected in local businesses, events, and social cohesion.
Public transit and accessibility are well-developed in Seaside. The city is connected to major transit lines, making it easier for residents to commute to jobs in Monterey, Salinas, and other nearby cities. Bus routes serve these neighborhoods, improving accessibility despite lower private vehicle ownership rates.
Recreational and open spaces are abundant in Seaside. The city has parks, community centers, and public gathering spaces, which are essential for neighborhood well-being. The Monterey Bay coastline is a natural asset, providing outdoor recreation options that improve the quality of life.
Public and nonprofit resources are available to support low-income families. Housing assistance programs and community health services operate in these areas. Additionally, nonprofits and faith-based groups provide food assistance, after-school programs, and economic relief efforts.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The City of Seaside, California, encompasses two designated Opportunity Zones: Census Tract 135 and Census Tract 137. These areas present several strategic opportunities for economic and community development.
Firstly, economic revitalization through tax incentives is a key opportunity. Investors can leverage federal tax benefits by directing capital into these Opportunity Zones, fostering economic growth and job creation. This influx of investment can stimulate local businesses, attract new enterprises, and enhance the overall economic landscape of Seaside.
Secondly, the development of affordable housing is crucial. Both Census Tracts 135 and 137 qualify as Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Qualified Census Tracts, indicating a significant portion of households with incomes below 60 percent of the Area Median Gross Income or a poverty rate of 25 percent or more. This designation provides incentives for developers to create affordable housing, addressing housing shortages and promoting socioeconomic diversity.
DRAFT Packet Page 433
Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 95
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Lastly, infrastructure and community facility enhancements are vital. The Opportunity Zones' status can attract funding for critical infrastructure projects, including transportation improvements, utility upgrades, and the development of community centers. Enhancing infrastructure not only improves residents' quality of life but also makes the area more appealing to potential investors and businesses.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate-Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)
Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.
Low- and moderate-income households often face significant barriers to obtaining high-quality internet services. Key challenges include limited availability of affordable plans, underutilization of assistance programs, and geographical disparities in service quality.
Research indicates that states and communities with lower annual household incomes have more limited access to broadband plans costing $50 a month or less (broadbandnow.com). Programs like the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) were established to provide eligible households with monthly discounts on broadband services. Despite this, as of 2023, only 29 percent of qualifying households have enrolled, leaving approximately 48 million households without assistance. Additionally, the FCC's National Broadband Map reveals that nearly one in ten California residents cannot access broadband at a price of $60 per month or less, highlighting affordability issues in certain areas.
These national and state trends also apply to Seaside. While local data is not available, stakeholders interviewed for this project noted that a “digital divide” exists between households with internet connections and those without. Households without internet tend to have lower incomes than the general population.
Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.
There are currently at least eight internet service providers operating in Seaside. This shows a competitive broadband internet service market in Seaside. While the market is competitive, the cost of internet may still be too high for some low-income households in Seaside to afford. With the high rates of cost burden in the city, additional amenities such as the internet may be too expensive for a household trying to pay for basic housing needs.
In October 2019, the City of Seaside adopted a policy for the regulation of small wireless facilities and other infrastructure deployments in the public right of way, as outlined in Resolution 19-97.
Urgency Ordinances 1072, enacted in late 2019, and 1075, enacted in early 2020, added Chapter
17.55 to the Seaside Municipal Code. These regulations establish guidelines for small wireless facilities in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. Currently, Seaside is continuing to monitor and evaluate

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation – 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3).
Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.
Several natural hazards in Monterey County have increased in recent times. The County is particularly susceptible to flooding, especially during severe storms and there are more frequent and intense rainfall events, increasing the risk of flash floods and riverine flooding.
Extended periods of drought and rising temperatures have escalated the frequency and severity of wildfires. The County's diverse landscapes, including forested and grassland areas, are particularly vulnerable during dry seasons.
Monterey County's extensive coastline faces threats from rising sea levels, leading to coastal erosion and increased flooding in low-lying areas. This poses risks to infrastructure, homes, and natural habitats.
Increased precipitation, especially following droughts, destabilizes soil and rock formations, making certain regions prone to landslides. This is particularly concerning in hilly or mountainous areas of the County.
Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.
Low- and moderate-income households in Monterey County are especially vulnerable to climateinduced hazards due to several factors. The Seaside 2040 General Plan Update details hazard risks throughout the City. There are several undeveloped areas in the northern and eastern portions of the City immediately adjacent to and to the east of General Jim Moore Boulevard.
These areas are considered by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to be Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ). Low-density residential neighborhoods and the Seaside Middle School are adjacent to the VHFHSZs but are on the west side of General Jim Moore Boulevard, which may act as a fire break.

Map: Fire Hazard Severity Zones (Seaside 2040 General Plan) In terms of severe storms and stormwater flooding, there are small areas of Seaside within a FEMA 100-year floodplain (meaning a one percent chance of flood in a given year). The remainder of the City is in a FEMA 500-year floodplain. As discussed in the City’s General Plan, the magnitude of storm events and likelihood of stormwater flooding is projected to increase as a result of precipitation changes and sea level rise. Areas surrounding or alongside the FEMA 100-year floodplain are considered vulnerable to flooding due to their low-lying location and proximity.
According to the General Plan, an estimated 25,549 residents and nearly three billion dollars in residential and no

Further, affordable housing options may include older structures that are not built to withstand extreme weather events, making them more susceptible to damage during natural disasters.
Financial limitations hinder the ability of these households to invest in necessary mitigation measures, such as home elevation, structural retrofitting, or purchasing adequate insurance coverage.
Post-disaster recovery can be prolonged for low- and moderate-income families due to limited savings, access to credit, or insurance, leading to extended displacement or homelessness.

The City of Seaside does not operate a TBRA program.
New Unit Production The primary market factor influencing new affordable housing production is the availability of public funds and subsidies. With the dissolution of the Seaside Redevelopment Agency, funds for affordable housing were drastically reduced, eliminating the primary source for new unit production. Without this public funding source, the pace and development of new unit construction is constrained.
However, the City has several projects under development. The Ascent project at Broadway and Terrace will use former
Redevelopment Agency property and the Campus Town Project will use former Fort Ord property. 16 of 106 units for the Ascent project are planned to be designated as affordable, while 297 units in Campus Town will be designated as affordable. In addition, the Parker Flat Apartments project was approved by City Council and will involve the rehabilitation of two former military nursing barracks on the former Fort Ord to create 40 two-bedroom units, with eight rental units restricted to low-income households for 30 years.
The City has also encouraged the development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) by removing some ADU building permit fees, streamlining the plan check process, and setting aside a water allocation exclusively for ADU applicants. ADU development in the City has been successful, with the finalization of 111 units in 2023.
Rehabilitation As with New Unit Production, the rehabilitation of affordable housing units has become challenging due to the dissolution of the DRAFT
Seaside Redevelopment Agency. However, Rehabilitation may be Packet Page 447
Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 109
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
more feasible than New Unit Production because costs are lower.
The cost of private financing affects small-scale single-family or multi-family rehabilitation decisions; when interest rates are low, property owners may prefer traditional financing that has few strings attached. Due to the City’s relatively small CDBG allocation and overall limited funding availability, the 2025-2029 ConPlan cycle may develop a Mobility Access and Emergency Repair (MA/ER) program for income-qualified homeowners in need of mobility upgrades due to a disability or emergency repairs. This will help rehabilitate and preserve the current housing stock while benefiting low-income homeowners in need.
Acquisition, including
preservation
Land in Seaside is expensive due to its attractive location in the Monterey Bay and limited opportunities. This factor, combined with limited public subsidies, makes acquisition challenging.
Construction costs for rehabilitation of acquired property and the availability of private and/or tax credit financing are also limiting factors.

The City anticipates that the annual allocation of CDBG funds will continue to be reduced yearly. The City also plans to receive slightly over $100,000 per year in program income from the lease of land occupied by Embassy Suites. The City does not anticipate any other program income as it is not regular enough to provide a reasonable annual estimate.
Meeting Low-to-Moderate Income Expenditure Requirement: In conformance with HUD regulations, the City specifies that, over a three-year period, the City will spend no less than 70 percent of CDBG funds on activities that benefit low- and moderate incomepersons, in accordance with HUD standards.

Faced with reduced resources, the City has made the choice to focus its CDBG resources where the need is greatest. The communityidentified areas of need are infrastructure and facilities improvements in low-income areas, including street and park accessibility improvements, and providing essential public services for youth and seniors. Activities such as the development of affordable housing and rental housing subsidies are beyond the scope of available resources.

Table 51 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary
Packet Page 454
Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 116
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) Much as is the case with affordable housing, the City of Seaside faces challenges with limited resources that restrict its ability to significantly assist homeless and chronically homeless individuals and families, and to prevent homelessness as well. The City does partner with the Coalition of Homeless Service Providers, with Gathering for Women, and with other agencies and organizations working to address homelessness in the area. In addition, the City also has a Homeless Commission.
Historically, the City’s annual CDBG allocation is used to fund services that address poverty, address fair housing, and promote good lifestyles for the youth population, all of which aid in the prevention of homelessness. Addressing poverty is a critical issue for both homeless and chronically homeless residents as well. Notably, Legal Services for Seniors provides services to prevent the displacement of seniors from their homes by means of eviction and foreclosure. Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity’s (ECHO’s) fair housing services also aid in the prevention of eviction, which can lead to homelessness.
The City will continue to support the Coalition of Homeless Service Providers’ “Lead Me Home 5- Year Plan to End Homelessness.” The Lead Me Home Plan has established goals and objectives that lead to coordinated homeless prevention strategies, including those specific to persons being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care. Further, the Lead Me Home Plan also involves those receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, and youth needs.
Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above
The City addresses the needs of special populations through its CDBG Public Services program.
These services include (but are not limited to) senior services, food assistance, fair housing services, youth services, and homeless services. However, there are gaps in direct services for persons with disabilities and supportive housing for special needs groups.
City staff also regularly participate with three entities that shoulder planning for the Continuum of Care (CoC) to address homelessness. These include:
1) Monterey County Department of Social Services (DSS) - The lead governmental agency. 2) Coalition of Homeless Services Providers (Homeless Coalition) - A unique local collaborative effort.
DRAFT Packet Page 455
Consolidated Plan SEASIDE 117
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
3) Leadership Council (CoC Governing Body) - A unique local collaborative effort.
These committees are directly responsible for programs and funding decisions affecting residents of the County of Monterey and the City of Seaside. Continued participation is necessary to ensure that the resources needed are available to eligible City residents in need of shelter and housing.
Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs As discussed throughout this ConPlan, the City has needs for transitional and permanent supportive housing for homeless persons, and affordable housing for individuals and families in general. Like many jurisdictions across the State of California, the dissolution of the City’s redevelopment agency severely limited the ability to directly address these gaps. However, the City continues to collaborate with the following entities to address its housing needs:
Housing Authority of Monterey County (HACM)
Monterey County Department of Social Services
Coalition of Homeless Services Providers (Homeless Coalition) Leadership Council (CoC Governing Body)
Legal Services for Seniors
Community Human Services
Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO)
Gathering for Women
In addition to the City CDBG staff, the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) ensures the quality of community-related programs and services for Seaside residents, including those who are low-income and homeless. The CDAC provides residents with a gateway to connect to all housing services provided by the City, State, and Federal government agencies, as well as private and charitable organizations. It also helps facilitate the development of programs that empower communities to strengthen families and neighborhoods.
Currently, the City is undertaking a multi-year effort to develop a new General Plan. The City of Seaside’s 2023-2031 Housing Element was found to be in substantial compliance by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on March 27, 2024. The 2023-2031 6 th Cycle Housing Element was adopted.

SP-50 Public Housing Accessibility and Involvement – 91.215(c) Need to Increase the Number of Accessible Units (if Required by a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement)
The Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) is not required to increase the number of accessible units under a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement. HACM does not have public housing. However, HACM does ensure the provision of reasonable accommodations, affirming equal opportunities and accessibility for applicants and participants in housing voucher programs. HACM staff annually participate in Fair Housing Training, hosted by HUD’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. Additionally, HACM partners with local service providers that increase support to elderly and disabled community members, such as Interim, Central Coast Center for Independent Living, and the Alliance on Aging.
Activities to Increase Resident Involvements
The Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) does not have public housing. The agency has a Resident Advisory Board (RAB) that did contribute to the formation of the 2024 Annual Plan. In addition, the HACM has a Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS). FSS is available to households who receive assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program. The program is designed to help families become financially independent. FSS is not a mandatory program, but involvement is encouraged.
Is the public housing agency designated as troubled under 24 CFR part 902? No.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
As outlined in the 2023-2031 Housing Element, the rising cost of construction materials, labor, and energy, coupled with diminishing public funds, have made it increasingly difficult to create new affordable housing in Seaside. Further, a lengthy development process can also add to the cost of developing housing, which also impacts consumers. Water availability and the meter moratorium continue to be barriers to develop land.
Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing The City is addressing its barriers to affordable housing through policies outlined in the Housing Element. Most notably, these policies include:
Parcel consolidation. Offer incentives and/or regulatory reliefs to encourage lot consolidation of small parcels for multifamily development and lot mergers of contiguous substandard lots with common ownership.
Development standards and procedures. Regularly review the City’s development standards and procedures to identify potential constraints to the production, maintenance, and development of housing, and to develop appropriate measures to mitigate constraints.
Incentives. Facilitate the development and provision of affordable housing through regulatory incentives, density bonuses, and other financial assistance (as funding permits, use of prefabricated materials).
Long-term affordability. Ensure that units produced for extremely low, very low, low and moderate-income households are maintained as long-term affordable units by adopting deed restrictions and other reasonable mechanisms/deed restrictions to maintain the affordability for subsequent owners/renters of below market-rate housing. Short-term rentals. The Seaside Municipal Code 17.52.252 regulates Short-Term Rentals in Seaside. Rather than setting a limit on the number of short-term rentals, the Council chose to identify the number of non-hosted units that existed prior to April 2018 and allowed those to apply for an STR license. Hosted units may apply for an STR 8 | CITY OF SEASIDE license regardless of when they began operating. All units must pass inspection, and uphold certain criteria established to help maintain the character of the neighborhood. The Council will review the number of licenses and various enforcement efforts at least annually. The STRs must pay TOT (transien DRAFT

in a separate fund. The Council requested that 50 percent of the funds be used for affordable housing in Seaside.
Seaside has an inclusionary housing ordinance which helps promote the construction of affordable housing. The ordinance requires that for all new developments, at least 20 percent of new units constructed must be restricted for occupancy by moderate, low, or very low-income households. The City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the 2023-2031 planning period was determined by the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG). The allocation totals 616 housing units, with 86 very low-income, 55 low-income, 156 moderateincome, and 319 above moderate-income units. To meet the housing needs established by the State and AMBAG, the City projects 112 accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to be developed and has further approved additional housing projects that include affordable housing units. Planning for the Campus Town project is in process, with 297 housing units planned to be designated as affordable. The Ascent Project is also in the process of moving forward, with the developer submitting project plans for permit approval, and 16 units planned to be designated as affordable. In addition, City Council approved the Parker Flat Apartments project on the old Fort Ord, which will consist of the rehabilitation of two former military nursing barracks to create multifamily residential units, eight units of which will be restricted to low-income households for 30 years.
In 2021, the City created an affordable housing development nonprofit, Seaside Housing Collaborative, with the mission to conceptualize, plan, entitle, construct, acquire, sell, and lease affordable housing, including workforce housing. As outlined in the 2023-2031 Housing Element, the City aims to acquire and rehabilitate 20 deteriorating multifamily housing units by 2031.
Some of these units will be deed restricted as affordable housing for low-income households and persons with special needs.

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
Seaside's Family and Community Support Program (FCSP) plays a pivotal role in engaging with homeless individuals. This mobile crisis response team collaborates with local emergency services, including the Seaside Police and Fire Departments, to provide immediate assistance.
The FCSP offers crisis intervention, links individuals to mental and behavioral health services, and connects them with community resources aimed at addressing the unique challenges faced by each person (ci.seaside.ca.us).
Additionally, the Monterey Peninsula Street Outreach Program, operated by Community Human Services, extends its services to Seaside. This program focuses on building trust with homeless youth up to the age of 24, offering crisis intervention, basic necessities, and connections to housing, employment, and educational opportunities (chservices.org).
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Seaside has expanded its emergency and transitional housing options through various facilities.
Casa de Noche Buena, a collaborative effort between Community Human Services and Gathering for Women, provides 20-35 beds for single women and families with children. Services include case management, housing navigation, meals, and assistance with employment and education (chservices.org).
The Central Coast Respite Center, operated by Community Homeless Solutions, is a 6-bed facility offering respite care for homeless adults recovering from hospital stays. It provides meals, case management, and support services to facilitate the transition to permanent housing (communityhomelesssolutions.org).
Additionally, the Salvation Army's Frederiksen House is a 90-day emergency shelter for families with children, offering case management and support services to promote independent living (findhelp.org).
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 homele

To support the transition from homelessness to stable housing, Seaside emphasizes comprehensive case management and supportive services. Housing navigation is a key component, with case managers at facilities like Casa de Noche Buena working closely with guests to identify and secure permanent housing solutions, tailoring assistance to individual needs (chservices.org).
Employment and educational support programs provide job training, employment assistance, and educational resources to enhance self-sufficiency. For instance, the Monterey Peninsula Street Outreach Program connects youth with employment and educational opportunities (chservices.org).
Comprehensive support services are also offered, including mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment, and life skills education, to address barriers to independent living. The Family and Community Support Program (FCSP), for example, links individuals to appropriate mental and behavioral health services (ci.seaside.ca.us).
Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely lowincome individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs
Preventative measures are crucial in addressing homelessness. Seaside implements several strategies to support at-risk populations. The Safe Parking Program provides overnight parking spaces for individuals and families living in their vehicles, offering a secure environment and access to supportive services aimed at transitioning participants into stable housing (mcchoice.co.monterey.ca.us).
Collaborative service integration is another key strategy. The Family and Community Support Program (FCSP) collaborates with local agencies, non-profit organizations, and faith-based groups to connect individuals and families with services such as housing assistance, healthcare, social services, employment support, and educational resources (ci.seaside.ca.us).
Discharge planning is also essential. Programs like the Central Coast Respite Center ensure that individuals discharged from hospitals have access to temporary shelter and case management, reducing the risk of immediate homelessness (communityhomelesssolutions.org).
Through these comprehensive and collaborative efforts, the City of Seaside strives to effectively address homelessness by providing immediate support, facilitating transitions to permanent housing, and implementing preventative measures to support low-income individuals and families.

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards The City follows all applicable lead-based paint (LBP) hazard regulations. Adherence to HUD and HCD requirements for LBP is monitored for the CDBG program and any corresponding activities.
In addition, the City works with the County of Monterey Department of Public Health to monitor incidences of elevated lead levels in the blood of residents. The City’s Building and Code Enforcement division responds to calls regarding LBP and may require landlords to fix chipping paint. All housing rehabilitation contracts include provisions for work necessary to eliminate any existing LPB hazards on applicable surfaces.
How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Homes built prior to 1978 are one of the main sources of lead hazards and lead poisoning. The CHAS dataset provides information about how many units were built prior to 1980, which may contain LBP, and how many of these units contain children under the age of six. As discussed in MA-20, 7,770 units in the City were built before 1980, 960 of which have children present.
Actions will be taken based on incidents reported by the County and as encountered by the City's Code Enforcement Team.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The City distributes a brochure, available in English and Spanish, entitled “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home” published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In addition, all rehabilitation contracts include provisions for work necessary to eliminate any existing lead-based paint hazards on applicable surfaces.

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families The City is concerned for the wellbeing of its residents and recognizes the need for citizens to live in sound and sanitary housing, live in safe and decent neighborhoods, and have access to appropriate services and resources. Seaside’s first three redevelopment project areas, Noche Buena, Del Monte Heights, and Hannon Areas, were exclusively residential projects providing decent housing in an urban environment. Subsequent project areas focused on economic development growth, leading to the creation of the Gateway Auto Center, Laguna Grande Shopping Center, Seaside Auto Center Expansion, and City Center Revitalization Redevelopment Project. These projects created jobs and improved the City’s tax base. Through the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan period, the City will continue its multi-phased plan for Campus Town, thereby promoting new development of both housing and economic activity. In addition, the City’s Economic Development department is currently working on Seagrove, a ten-building workforce rental housing development that will feature 16 affordable housing units.
The City’s General Plan includes a proactive program for economic development. It is the City’s policy that the current emphasis on economic development is consistent with and is an integral part of its housing strategy to improve the quality of life for its residents.
In November 2012, the City adopted an Economic Opportunity Plan. The Economic Opportunity Plan is a guide to how the City of Seaside will achieve its goal of creating and maintaining a diverse, stable, and sustainable economic base. The Economic Opportunity Plan establishes a skeletal framework that will be supplemented over time as plans, programs, and market studies are prepared and adopted.
Key components of the Economic Opportunity Plan include policies and procedures, including specific criteria for evaluating solicited and unsolicited proposals, the identification of key opportunity sites including “next steps” recommendations. In 2015, a long-range property management plan for the disposition of former Redevelopment Agency-owned property was approved as well as a Small Business Support Program which includes the marketing of Seaside’s community’s amenities, assets, and includes partnering with the regional Small Business Development Center (SBDC) for small business consulting outreach and events.
As an entitlement City, Seaside’s CDBG program has long focused on promoting prosperity and stability for youth. Through funding life skills training and other related programs for at-risk youth and LMI youth, the City aims to steer youth toward economic stability, education and eventual job placement, while

The City has a Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) which advises on the CDBG program and assists with the evaluation and assessment of proposed and implemented programs/activities. Part of the CDAC’s responsibility includes receiving and reviewing quarterly reports on CDBG funding activities and keeping up to date with all CDBG-related activities in the City. In Fiscal Year 2023, CDAC received presentations from prospective subrecipients to guide funding objectives. City subrecipients are monitored by a CDBG consultant who is contracted to complete desk-monitoring. The City requires subrecipients to submit applications and reimbursement requests via City Data Services (CDS), including upload of PDF financial and other pertinent documents. In terms of outreach, public notices for all HUD plans and reports (ConPlan, Annual Action Plan, and Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report) are published in the Monterey County Weekly in both English and Spanish and are posted to applicable City webpages and social media sites.

Entitlement Funds
In FY 2025-2026, the City anticipates receiving $304,867 in CDBG funds. The City will also have $102,900 in program income and $58,781 in prior year CDBG funds available for programming. The City intends to allocate these funds as follows:
Public Services (subject to 15 percent cap)
o Greater Victory Temple – $10,194
o Legal Services for Seniors – $10,194
o Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula – $10,194
o Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) – $10,194 o Gathering for Women – Monterey - $10,194
o Girls Inc of the Central Coastal - $10,194
Public Facilities/Infrastructure
o ADA Curb Ramp Project – $240,000
o Community Human Services, Casa de Noche Buena – $40,000 o Boys and Girls Club of Monterey County, Seaside Clubhouse – $50,000 Planning and Administration (subject to 20 percent cap) – $75,384 The City does not receive HOME, ESG, or HOPWA funds and does not report on these grants. The CDBG Program has no matching requirements. Applicants for funding are asked to provide financial information in their application to indicate capacity to carry out the activity/project. Applications are submitted on the City Data Services data management portal with attachments housed on the server.
Although there is no match requirement for CDBG funds, the City actively pursues additional resources for projects otherwise not funded with CDBG monies, or for CDBG-funded projects where additional funding is needed and available.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City of Seaside does not anticipate the sale of publicly owned land or property within the jurisdiction that would be used to achieve CDBG goals. Upgrading of infrastructure in the City, including publicly owned roads, sidewalks, and public parks may instead be used to address the accessibility and community facilities/infrastructure needs identified in the Plan. In particular, publicly owned land may receive accessibility improvements for ADA compliance.
In addition to the above, the City’s Campus Town project was approved by the Seaside City Council in 2020. The development location of this project is part of the former Fort Ord Army Base. While this project is not receiving CDBG funding, the Campus Town plan proposed to add park/recreational areas, commercial space, and more than 1,000 housing units to the City of Seaside. 297 of these housing units are planned to be designated as affordable.
The City’s Parker Flat Apartments project was additionally approved by the Seaside City Council and will consist of the rehabilitation of two former military nursing barracks on the former Fort Ord to create 40 two-bedroom multifamily residential units, of which eight will be restricted to low-income households for 30 years. This project will not receive CDBG funding but is in line with the identified need for increased affordable housing options in the City of Seaside.
Discussion
Due to a reduction in resources, the City will focus its CDBG resources on activities identified as meeting the greatest community needs and according to the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan’s goals. Community identified areas of need include infrastructure and facilities improvements for accessibility or for agencies serving low-income and special needs populations, along with public services for youth, seniors and persons with disabilities, homeless women and families, and low-income households in need of fair housing services.
Activities such as the development of affordable housing or rental housing subsidies are beyond the scope of the City’s available resources.
Entitlement Funds
In FY 2025-2026, the City anticipates receiving $304,867 in CDBG funds. The City will also have $102,900 in program income and $58,781 in prior year CDBG funds available for programming. The City intends to allocate these funds as follows:

Introduction
The City of Seaside’s CDBG Program operates under a two-year funding request cycle. As part of the 2025-2026 funding cycle, on June 6, 2024, the Seaside City Council approved the following projects for the FY2025-2026 Annual Action Plan. All of these projects were selected through a comprehensive NOFA process, careful evaluation and selection by the City’s Community Development Advisory Committee and City Council.
The ADA Curb Ramp Project, to be completed in coordination with the City of Seaside Department of Public Works, replaced the former San Pablo Pedestrian Bridge reconstruction project. The San Pablo bridge demolition and reconstruction project no longer meets the Lowand Moderate-Income (LMI) National Objective requirements based on revised American Community Survey (ACS) LMI data.and the ADA Curb Ramp Project was approved the Seaside City Council on January 16, 2025 and submitted to HUD through the FY2024-2025 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendment on January 29, 2025.
In FY 2025-2026, the City anticipates receiving $304,867 in CDBG funds. The City will also have $102,900 in program income and $58,781 in prior year CDBG funds available for programming.
The City intends to allocate these funds as follows:

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
Given the limited CDBG allocation, it is difficult to address all community needs. Requests for CDBG funding for public services far exceed the available funding. The City’s CDBG allocation priorities are based on meeting the greatest community needs with the available resources.
Identified areas of need include infrastructure and facilities improvements in low-income areas, including an ADA curb ramp project, improvements to the Boys and Girls Club of Monterey County Seaside Clubhouse (serving youth) and to Casa de Noche Buena (serving homeless women and families with children), and providing essential public services to youth, seniors and persons with disabilities, homeless persons, and LMI households for fair housing. Activities such as the development of affordable housing and rental housing subsidies are beyond the scope of available resources.

AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
The City of Seaside’s Community and Economic Development Services staff are charged with the continuing responsibility to forge new partnerships with other public agencies at the federal, state, and local levels, as well as with private housing developers and nonprofit housing organizations. Additionally, the City works closely with a diverse group of nonprofit organizations to provide public services through the CDBG program and offers an Emergency Rental and Utility Assistance Program (non-CDBG funded).
Considering the City’s limited resources for adding new affordable housing stock due to financial constraints, limited land availability, and limited water, the City encourages the development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in existing residential neighborhoods. Construction of ADUs is seen as a method to increase the housing supply, aid in addressing the current housing crisis, and assist existing homeowners by providing an avenue for additional income through rent revenue.
To encourage ADU development, the Seaside City Council has removed some ADU building permit fees, streamlined the plan check process, and set aside a water allocation to be provided exclusively to ADU applicants. In 2024, 8 ADUs were issued building permits and 23 ADUs were finalized.
Planning for the City’s Campus Town Project is currently underway, with 297 housing units planned to be designated as affordable. Planning for the Ascent Project is also underway, as the developer has submitted project plans for permit approval. This project will see 16 of 106 units designated as affordable housing. On the former Ford Ord, project planning is underway with Seaside City Council approving the Parker Flat Apartments project. This project will consist of the rehabilitation of two former military nursing barracks to create 40 two-bedroom multifamily residential units, eight of which will be restricted to low-income households for 30 years.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) is the local public housing authority and is the primary public organization for affordable housing and housing support in the City of Seaside. HACM’s mission is to develop and operate affordable housing while implementing supportive programs for rental voucher holders. While HACM does not own or operate public housing units, it manages a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program (also known as Section 8) to meet the housing needs of the lowest-income renters in the City and jurisdiction. In addition, HACM operates a Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program with the goal of promoting economic selfsufficiency and long-term stability for households in its HCV program.
Currently, there are 306 HCVs in use in the City of Seaside, along with one Family Unification, 27 VASH, one Mainstream, and 17 Emergency Housing Vouchers. As of 2024, there are 298 Seaside households on the waiting list for HCVs with the HACM. According to HACM policy, waiting list preference is given to victims of domestic violence.
HACM’s programs are essential in addressing and meeting Seaside’s housing needs.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing As of June 30, 2016, HACM has converted all public housing units countywide into project-based rental assistance. The City will continue to coordinate with the Leadership Council (CoC) to implement the “Lead Me Home” 5-Year Plan to End Homelessness.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program is designed to help families become financially independent of cash aid assistance by obtaining employment. Successful participating families are rewarded with a savings account that is established by HACM. Additionally, the HACM's commitment to the program participants is solidified by the HACM collaborating with a variety of local service providers that are equally interested in helping families reach their goal of selfsufficiency. Services may include career counseling, financial literacy, parenting skills and homeownership preparation.

Discussion
Through the HACM, there are 306 City of Seaside households with Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs). Voucher holders are encouraged to participate in the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program. In accordance with goals adopted in the City’s 2025-2029 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI), Seaside plans to strengthen its partnership with the HACM through the 2025-2029 Consolidated Planning cycle in order to seek new opportunities for affordable housing.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
As with much of the State of California and the nation, homelessness is an ongoing issue in the City of Seaside that requires a strong collaborative network of resources. According to the 2024 Monterey County Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, there are 219 individuals experiencing homelessness in the City on any given night. This marks a 44 percent increase from 2022. Approximately 64 percent of Seaside’s homeless population is unsheltered, while the remaining 36 percent are sheltered.
The City of Seaside works closely with the Leadership Council (CoC) and with a network of other agencies in the jurisdiction addressing the needs of the homeless population. The City seeks to address the needs of the homeless population and to prevent homelessness from occurring in the first place through the provision of CDBG funding to public service agencies offering assistance to homeless households and to the lowest-income households.
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
During FY2025-26, the City will continue to closely coordinate with Monterey County and the Leadership Council (CoC) to reach out to homeless persons and assess their individual needs. As described in the “Lead Me Home” 5-Year Plan to End Homelessness, these agencies will:
Collaborate to develop a referral agreement between outreach workers and other housing and service providers
Designate priority access to housing and treatment slots for clients engaged by outreach workers
Develop a centralized information and referral system Streamline referrals and improve service coordination Partner hospitals with existing services to establish respite care centers and detoxification facilities
Enhance coordination with mainstream benefits programs In these efforts outlined above, the City of Seaside will act as an information and referral resource for participating housing and homeless service providers to facilitate agreements and partnerships.
Currently, the City is exploring the possibility of
DRAFT

Packet Page 487

funding to address homeless concerns in the community and open a shelter.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons In FY2020-21, the first homeless shelter for women and families with children in the Monterey Peninsula opened in the City of Seaside’s HUD Qualified Census Tract 137. Casa de Noche Buena is a collaborative effort between Community Human Services (CHS) and Gathering for Women (GFW). This low-barrier emergency shelter offers wrap-around services and case management for up to 38 people at a time and for up to 90 days. Stays can be lengthened to up to six months, depending on the situation. Case managers work with shelter guests to support a successful exit from homelessness.
In FY2025-26, the City will provide CDBG funding to CHS and GFW for the Casa de Noche Buena shelter. This includes a public services allocation to GFW for case management services, along with a public facilities allocation to CHS for improvements to the shelter. These facility repairs will ensure that there is no interruption in the work being done to address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of the homeless guests at Casa de Noche Buena.
In the City of Seaside, transitional housing services are available through the Salvation Army. This agency has not applied for CDBG funding for the current cycle.
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
The City of Seaside continues to collaborate with and rely on a vast network of public and nonprofit agencies in the Continuum of Care (CoC) system to provide a range of housing options and services. The CoC system strives to provide and expand housing opportunities for homeless and formerly homeless community members, through emergency shelters, transitional housing, supportive housing, and permanent housing. Outreach, assessment, and case management services are also offered through this network to assist homeless individuals and families in transitioning to permanent housing.
Additionally, in FY2020-21, Gathering for Women (GFW) and Community Human Services (CHS) opened Case De Noche Buena, a shelter in HUD Qualified Census Tract 137 in the City of Seaside.
The majority of funding for the Casa de Noche Buena was through HEAP. Casa de Noche Buena is the first homeless shelter specifically for women and families with children on the Monterey Peninsula.

case management for up to 38 people at a time and for up to 90 days. Stays can be lengthened to up to six months, depending on the situation. Case managers work with shelter guests to support a successful exit from homelessness to permanent housing and independent living.
In FY2025-26, the City will provide CDBG funding to CHS and GFW for the Casa de Noche Buena shelter. This includes a public services allocation to GFW for case management services, along with a public facilities allocation to CHS for improvements to the shelter. These facility repairs will ensure that there is no interruption in the work being done to address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of the homeless guests at Casa de Noche Buena.
Further, CHS’s Genesis House is a state-licensed, residential substance abuse treatment program for adults 18 years of age and older. The co-ed program offers 28 beds for stays of three to six months. The perinatal program offers eight beds for stays of six to 10 months. Children aged five and under may live with their mothers in treatment. Genesis House is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) International.
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
Through FY2025-26, the City will support projects and programs that prevent homelessness, assigning these projects high priority. These include youth support programs through Greater Victory Temple and Girls, Inc. of the Central Coast, fair housing supportive services through Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity to prevent housing discrimination and eviction, homeless case management services through Gathering for Women, legal services for low-income seniors through Legal Services for Seniors, and home-delivered meals for homebound seniors and persons with disabilities through Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula.
In addition, the City will continue to promote the following strategies outlined in the “Lead Me Home” 5 Year Plan to End Homelessness:
Integration of services at the system level
Enhancement and integration of services at the client level Improving access to mainstream benefits
Launch Employment First (job training)
Strengthen job development capacity and on-site support Economic development opportunities that will create new jobs for homeless or formerly DRAFT Packet Page 489

Discussion
Many seniors, even homeowners, face financial challenges due to limited incomes. Senior households, especially those on limited incomes, require affordable housing to lead healthy lives.
Seniors also face housing challenges related to physical disabilities. Many of the disabilities are age related, including declining mobility and self-care issues that interfere with their ability to remain independent. Seniors have a variety of housing options, including:
Independent living – seniors reside in their home or apartment with little support or care Assisted living facilities – seniors maintain a level of independence, residing in an apartment, and receiving varied levels of support and assistance such as light housekeeping, meals, transportation, and/or medication
Residential care facilities – typically a smaller licensed facility, often with six or fewer residents, that provides services similar to those provided by assisted living facilities Intermediate care or skilled nursing facilities – a licensed facility that provides a higher, continuous level of professional care
Although a variety of housing options are available to seniors, and all housing options outlined above are available in Seaside, facilities providing supportive services and a higher level of care are expensive. Most affordable senior housing is classified as independent living and does not provide supportive services that many seniors may need. Lower-income seniors cannot afford to take advantage of many of the housing options and consequently remain in independent living situations struggling with self-care issues.
The Monterey County Department of Social Services provides a Senior Information, Referral and Assistance hotline, an initial point of contact for people seeking information about senior services. The program specializes in information related to the needs of seniors and people with disabilities. Legal Services for Seniors provides a variety of low-cost legal assistance and will receive CDBG funding from the City in FY2025-26. In addition, homebound seniors are supported through Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula’s meal-delivery program, which will also receive CDBG funding through the City in FY2025

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
Assessments of public policy and its impact on affordable housing in the Seaside community have occurred through the City’s General Plan Elements, including the recently updated 2023-2031 Housing Element and the Land Use Element, the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI), and the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan (ConPlan). The City’s Housing Element was updated and approved on May 27, 2024. It details public, private, and environmental constraints on affordable housing in the City of Seaside. Additional detailed information on affordable housing in the Housing Element can be found on the City’s website and at www.seaside2040.com.
Public policies at the local, state and federal levels can impact housing development growth and pace. As echoed in the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element, the rising cost of construction materials, labor, and energy, coupled with diminishing public funds have made it increasingly difficult to create new affordable housing in Seaside. Further, a lengthy development process can add to the cost of developing housing, which later trickles down to consumers as well.
The City continuously assesses its existing policies for potential negative effects on housing and works to remove any existing identified barriers to affordable housing through policy change. The City has undertaken various actions to reduce potential barriers and constraints to affordable housing and housing for special needs populations. These actions include identifying funds in support of affordable housing development and offering fee reductions, regulatory incentives, density incentives, the operation of a home rehabilitation and repair program, amongst more.
Details of these actions can be found in the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element. The City has been aggressive in pursuing affordable housing development opportunities, despite constraints, and has mitigated regulatory barriers as effectively and as often as possible.
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
The City continues to work to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that are serving as barriers to affordable housing. These actions are outlined in the 2023-2031 Housing Element of the General Plan and most notably include:
Parcel consolidation. Offer incentives and/or regulatory reliefs to encourage lot consolidation of small parcels for multifamily development and lot mergers of contiguous substandard lots with common ownership.
Development standards and procedures.

standards and procedures to identify potential constraints to the production, maintenance, and development of housing, and to develop appropriate measures to mitigate constraints.
Incentives. Facilitate the development and provision of affordable housing through regulatory incentives, density bonuses, and other financial assistance (as funding permits, use of prefabricated materials).
Long-term affordability. Ensure that units produced for extremely low, very low, low and moderate-income households are maintained as long-term affordable units by adopting deed restrictions and other reasonable mechanisms/deed restrictions to maintain the affordability for subsequent owners/renters of below market-rate housing. Short-term rentals. The Seaside Municipal Code 17.52.252 regulates Short-Term Rentals (STRs) in Seaside. Rather than setting a limit on the number of short-term rentals, the Council chose to identify the number of non-hosted units existed prior to April 2018 and allowed those to apply for an STR license. Hosted units may apply for an STR 8 license regardless of when they began operating. All units must pass inspection, and uphold certain criteria established to help maintain the character of the neighborhood. Council will review the number of licenses and various enforcement efforts at least annually. The STRs must pay TOT (transient occupancy tax), and it is kept in a separate fund. The Council requested that 50 percent of the funds be used for affordable housing in Seaside.
Seaside also has an inclusionary housing ordinance which helps promote the construction of affordable housing. The ordinance requires that for all new developments, at least 20 percent of new units constructed must be restricted for occupancy by moderate, low, or very low-income households. The City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the 2023-2031 planning period was determined by the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG). The allocation totals 616 housing units, with 86 very low-income, 55 low-income, 156 moderateincome, and 319 above moderate-income units. To meet the housing needs established by the State and AMBAG, the City projects 112 accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to be developed and has further approved additional housing projects that include affordable housing units. Planning for the Campus Town project is in process, with 297 housing units planned to be designated as affordable. The Ascent Project is also in process of moving forward, with the developer submitting project plans for permit approval, and 16 units planned to be designated as affordable. In addition, City Council approved the Parker Flat Apartments project on the old Fort Ord, which will consist of the rehabilitation of two former military nursing barracks to create multifamily residential units, eight units of which will be restricted to low DRAFT

30 years.
Further, in 2021, the City created an affordable housing development nonprofit, Seaside Housing Collaborative, with the mission to conceptualize, plan, entitle, construct, acquire, sell, and lease affordable housing, including workforce housing. As outlined in the 2023-2031 Housing Element, the City aims to acquire and rehabilitate 20 deteriorating multifamily housing units by 2031.
Some of these units will be deed restricted as affordable housing for low-income households and persons with special needs.
Discussion:
To expedite project facilitation and provide internal support to project applicants, the City has also established a planning permit review process. When required, permit review takes place before any necessary building permits or business licenses are applied for and are intended to ensure that new development is compatible with surrounding neighborhoods and planned future development.

Introduction:
This section describes the City’s actions to address underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint (LBP) hazards, reduce poverty, develop institutional structure, and enhance public-private coordination.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs In FY2025-26, the City will use CDBG funds to target public facilities and infrastructure to make ADA accessibility improvements through the Curb Ramp Project. This project will be completed with the Department of Public Works and serves to increase accessibility for community members. Further, CDBG funds will be allocated to facilities improvements for public service agencies serving the needs of homeless women/families with children at the Casa de Noche Buena shelter and low-income youth at the Boys and Girls Club Seaside clubhouse.
In addition to public facilities and infrastructure improvement projects to address obstacles in meeting underserved needs, CDBG funds will be allocated to public service agencies for their public service work. The City will work with several organizations that focus on increasing selfsufficiency of the low-income population in Seaside. These agencies include Legal Services for Seniors, which provides legal services pertaining to housing, health, and finances for elderly residents; Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula, which provides home delivered meals to homebound seniors and persons with disabilities; Greater Victory Temple, which provides an afterschool program for low-income youth; Girls, Inc. of the Central Coast, which provides an afterschool program for low-income youth girls; Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO), which provides fair housing and tenant/landlord services; and Gathering for Women, which provides case management services for homeless women/families with children at the Casa de Noche Buena shelter.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Housing programs aimed at assisting the City’s LMI population and those with special needs are limited as a result of a lack of available resources and staffing. The City will continue to support public and nonprofit organizations in affordable housing programs/development and in programs that assist homeless persons to make the transition to permanent housing and independent living through funding public services that many low-income households rely on as they prioritize paying housing costs.
The City will continue to support the “Lead Me Home” 5-Year Plan to End Homelessness in its effort to build an affordable housing pipeline and coordination with the Housing Authority of the DRAFT Packet Page 494

County of Monterey (HACM) to rehabilitate and upgrade affordable housing units.
The Coalition of Homeless Service Provider’s participation in HUD's Homeless Assistance Programs will pay for the development, rehabilitation, or leasing of housing for homeless persons and also for supportive services for those persons. In addition to applying for funding for emergency and transitional housing, which offer supportive services, the Coalition also assisted numerous nonprofit and other agencies in applying for funding through the Homeless Assistance portion of HUD’s program to provide supportive and self-sufficiency services. These supportive and self-sufficiency services include educational and vocational services which focus on social, living, interpersonal, study and job skills. Linkage to other services and services providers is also provided. In many of the housing projects, the Monterey County Department of Behavioral Health provides case coordination and representative payees. Additional services provided in some facilities include reintegration, full case management, life skills, and substance abuse counseling.
The City actively encourages the building of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and will continue to do so through FY2025-26. To foster this type of affordable housing option, the City has streamlined the plan check process, has removed some ADU building fees, and has set aside a water allocation exclusively for ADU applicants.
In addition, the City has numerous housing development projects underway or in the planning stage. As previously discussed, the City has an inclusionary housing ordinance which requires that for all new developments, at least 20 percent of new units constructed be restricted for occupancy by moderate, low, or very low-income households. Current projects include Campus Town which features 297 housing units planned to be designated as affordable, the Ascent Project which features 16 housing units planned to be designated as affordable, and the Parker Flat Apartments which features eight housing units restricted to low-income tenants for 30 years.
As part of the 2025-2029 ConPlan, the City identified several obstacles to meeting needs that are particularly difficult to achieve in the City. Below are some of the actions the City is taking to overcome obstacles:
Increase development, preservation, and rehabilitation of affordable housing for lowincome and special needs households. Provide assistance for homeless residents and those at risk of becoming homeless through collaborations with other agencies.
Provide assistance to low-income and special needs households. Provide public facilities improvements to strengthen neighborhood revitalization. Cooperate with and provide

construction of housing units through new housing development. Provide rental and utility assistance to hundreds of LMI Seaside households through the Rental Assistance Program, which is funded through Monterey County and United Way’s SB91 Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP).
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City will mitigate lead-based paint (LBP) hazards through public facilities improvements and will continue to educate participants on the hazards of LBP. In addition, all rehabilitation contracts for public facilities or other rehabilitation projects funded through the City include provisions for work necessary to eliminate any existing LBP hazards on applicable surfaces.
If lead hazards are discovered in a residential or commercial building, the agency responsible for abatement is the Monterey Bay Air Resources District. Brochures bringing awareness to the dangers associated with LBP are available at the Seaside Creates satellite office and on the City’s website.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families During FY2025-2026, the City will allocate CDBG funds to several public service agencies focused on alleviating the struggles and burdens resulting from poverty and low household incomes.
These public service programs and activities help recipients of services save money or receive services that they could not otherwise afford. This bolsters food security, economic stability, housing stability, and overall wellbeing. Furthermore, the City’s focus on funding activities benefitting low-income youth helps to ensure that youth are on a good track for their futures, which alleviates the effects of poverty in the present and prevents the continuation of poverty in the future.
Subrecipients to be awarded CDBG funding by the City of Seaside in FY2025-26 for public services include the following:
Greater Victory Temple, Afternoon Community Program (youth) Legal Services for Seniors, Legal Services for Seniors (seniors) Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula, Home Delivered Meals (seniors and persons with disabilities)

The City will continue to use CDBG administration funds to implement the ConPlan and Annual Action Plans, complete annual CAPER reports, and comply with HUD regulations. The City will also continue to support institutions that provide housing and services to low-income populations with CDBG public services funds, and by providing other forms of support available to the City.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to support regional planning efforts such as the Leadership Council (CoC) and the “Lead Me Home” 5-Year Plan to End Homelessness. The City will also continue to foster collaboration with local and regional entities, both public and private, to address affordable housing and community needs.
Discussion:
The City of Seaside’s CDBG Program operates on a two-year funding decision cycle. FY2025-26 constitutes Year 2 of funding decisions by the Seaside City Council as well as Year 1 of the 2025- 2029 Consolidated Plan. Requests for public service funding needed to support LMI and special needs households throughout the City far exceed the anticipated funding allocation expected.
