Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
As an entitlement jurisdiction under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the City of Vista (“City”) receives federal funds in proportion to its population size, concentration of poverty, and other socioeconomic and demographic data. Locat ed seven miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, Vista is a thriving community in northern San Diego County and is the commercial heart of the fast-growing Highway 78 Corridor. The Charter Law city was incorporated in 1963 and is approximately 19 square miles with an estimated population of 100,291 (CA Department of Finance, 2021-2022).
In 1991, the City of Vista became an entitlement city, in which the City receives an annual entitlement of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). CDBG funding must be allocated to activities that benefit low-income persons and/or low-income neighborhoods. Low-income neighborhoods are identified as having a high concentration (51% or more) of low-to-moderate-income individuals and/or families. Every five years, the City prepares and adopts a five-year Consolidated Plan, which identifies strategies for addressing the City's overall housing and community development goals. This is the fourth year (2023) of the Consolidated Plan, which is in effect from 2020 through 2024. The Annual Action Plan sets forth the 2023 projects and activities and identifies the expected resources that will further the priorities and goals in the Consolidated Plan. The City estimates to receive grants funds from HUD in the amount of $990,268.
The City does not receive other federal funding sources such as The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) or Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). Beginning in FY 2014-2015, based on new federal criteria, the City was determined to be ineligible to receive direct funding from the HOME program; therefore, the City participates in the San Diego HOME Consortium. The Consortium consists of the cities of Carlsbad, Encinitas, La Mesa, San Marcos, Santee, Vista, and the County of San Diego. Jointly, the San Diego HOME Consortium is eligible to receive HOME funds as a single participating jurisdiction and the County of San Diego serves as the lead agent for the Consortium. On February 28, 2023 the City authorized the renewal of an agreement to participate in the San Diego County HOME Consortium for Fiscal Year 2024/25 with an automatic renewal to participate in Fiscal Years 2025/26 and 2026/27.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items, or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j) Introduction
As part of the Consolidated Plan process, a regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) was conducted for all jurisdictions in the County. The City of Vista is currently in a collaborative process with the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing (SDRAFFH) to develop the 2020-2024 AI. The AI is a review of barriers that prevent people from choosing their preferred housing including an assessment of the availability of affordable, accessible housing.
Land use controls, site improvement requirements, building codes, fees, and other local programs to improve the overall quality of housing are constraints to housing development. These issues were explored in the development of the City's 2021-2029 Housing Element.
State law requires each community to play a role in meeting the region’s housing needs. A jurisdiction must demonstrate in the Housing Element that its land inventory is adequate to accommodate its share of the region’s projected growth. Vista’s share of regional future housing needs is 2,561 new units between June 30, 2020 and April 15, 2029 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 of Vista is committed to reducing the barriers of housing to vulnerable populations due to environmental hazards. Communities of color and lower-income communities are disproportionately burdened with poor housing conditions due to a variety of environmental threats and hazards. Under California Government Code 65040, environmental justice is designed as “the fair treatment of people of all races, cultures, and incomes with respect to the development, adoption, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.” The City is committed to expanding safe and healthy housing opportunities for people of all groups through the continuous expansion of environmental justice policies, conducting thorough environmental review of all housing developments, and creating partnerships with 04/25/2023 C12 Page 34 of 65

environmental justice agencies and advocates such as the California Environmental Justice Alliance.
Discussion
The City of Vista has worked collaboratively with the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing to complete the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing which identifies regional barriers and local barriers to fair housing around the city, with heavy emphasis on racial and economic disparity and environmental justice. Methodologies were identified to reduce barriers in the City include adjusting zoning amendments to expand affordable and alternative housing opportunities, and increasing accessibility to information

Introduction
In addition to addressing affordable housing and homelessness, the City will support community development activities to better address the vast needs of the community.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs Limited resource availability is often the biggest obstacle in meeting the needs of the underserved; therefore, ensuring collaboration and leveraging of funds is vital. The City has and will continue to work with other governmental organizations, nonprofits, businesses, and other entities to coordinate the provision of services in Vista.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City will continue to work with affordable housing developers to expand housing options for low- income individuals.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City has established institutional structure for the implementation of the Consolidated Plan and corresponding Annual Action Plans – with the City serving as the lead and the liaison to other governmental and non-governmental agencies. Open communication has been established and will be maintained throughout the implementation of the plan. Regular Program Monitoring and Program Evaluation Metrics have been established to ensure the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan is successful and achieving the target goals. Financial management policies are in place to ensure quarterly invoicing is conducted in an efficient and accurate manner.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to serve as a liaison between public and private housing and social service agencies. In addition, those addressing homelessness participate in the Alliance for Regional Solutions. Through this group, a system is being utilized to register, triage, track, and place homeless individuals and families.

FY 2022/23 - BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (BA) REQUEST
BA’s are not required within a single budget unit when actual expenditure amounts to be charged against discretionary accounts do not exceed thetotal discretionary appropriations. It is always essential to code actual expenditures to the most accurate GL object account when paid regardless of whether a particular line item contains a budgeted amount or not. What is the payment actually for? What is really being acquired? The “always actual rule” is fundamental to proper accounting and also provides valuable information during successive Budget cycles. An adjustment might be deemed appropriate if a unit’s “budget plan” were to be significantly altered (i.e., unforeseen need of a material amount or correction of errors). City Manager may approve adjustments within the same fund between budget units only if the fund’s total appropriations are not increased. City Council approval required for cross-fund adjustments and all increases in total expenditure appropriations or revenue sources. Requires one of 3 resolutions: (1) amending the Operating Budget or (2) the CIP Budget or (3) the combined budgets as applicable.

You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Greetings Mayor Franklin and esteemed City Councilmembers, It is unfortunate that I am unable to attend the March 28 City Council meeting, as are the therapists working currently in our City-funded program – spring break week happens to be a popular one for scheduling vacations! We wish to share a few thoughts:
First, thank you for your continued support of Palomar Family Counseling Service. Your support helps us meet the mental health needs of low-income City residents, something we’ve been doing for over 60 years.
It’s well known that that the nation’s mental health crisis began long before the coronavirus pandemic did. And now, three years of loss, stress, isolation and treatment disruption has only increased the number of individuals struggling with their mental health.
Surgeon General Vivek Murthy recently stated: “The pandemic has been a source of trauma for many people, and when you think about it in that context, the effects of the trauma take time to resolve. As things start to get normal, the full brunt of the trauma they’ve been through starts to surface in their lives, and they have to deal with that.” The number of people reporting symptoms of anxiety or depression skyrocketed during the pandemic and has remained high. Substance use has increased as well, and an alarming number of children and adolescents are showing up in emergency rooms seeking mental or behavioral health treatment. And not everyone has equal access to care. In fact, some of the same people hit hardest by the stresses of the pandemic — like low-income families or people of color — may be most at risk of not getting the mental health treatment they need. And the tragic correlation between mental illness and homelessness – one of the City’s top priorities – is well established.
Palomar Family Counseling Service uses the City of Vista’s Community Block Development Grant monies to fund counseling services for low income children, many of them attending school at Foothill Oak, Grapevine, and Maryland elementary schools.
This is important because NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) tells us that 1 in 6 youth, aged 6 to 17, experience serious mental health disorders. We know that early intervention leads to improved outcomes, and we know that service provision on school campuses helps eliminate barriers to treatment that may keep under-resourced families from participating otherwise.
We encourage support for the Annual Action Plan that prioritizes collaborative partnerships with organizations such as ours. Like homelessness, mental health is a massive challenge that can only be met with coordinated and concerted interventions from multiple angles. We are honored to play a part in the City of Vista.

My name is Nannette Stamm and I am the Chief Health Promotion Officer at Vista Community Clinic.
On behalf of Vista Community Clinic, I would like to express our gratitude for the continued support via CDBG funds that the City of Vista has provided to our Wellness Clinic. We are thankful that the City is proposing to continue this support through CDBG funding in FY 23-24. Our Wellness Clinic has been an invaluable tool for helping to improve the health and well-being of low-income residents of the City of Vista by providing low- to no-cost immunizations on a walk-in basis and/or by appointment at our 3 Vista-based clinics (Vale Terrace, Grapevine and Durian). During the first half of this FY (7/1/22 – 12/31/22), we served 4,844 Vista residents through our Wellness Clinics. Of those served 96% were extremely low-income (0-30% AMI) and 80% were Hispanic. The immunization program also served 69 people experiencing homelessness and 1,716 Female Head of Households.
We anticipate continuing to serve similar numbers in the future. The ongoing situation that we have experienced with COVID-19 underscores the important and vital role that community health centers, like Vista Community Clinic, play in helping our community address vital public health needs. Thank you for supporting this work through CDBG funding.
