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. Located 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 99,835 (CA Department of Finance, 2021-2023).

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 Fifth year (2024) of the Consolidated Plan, which is in effect from 2020 through 2024. The Annual Action Plan sets forth the 2024 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.

•Priority 1: Increase and preserve affordable housing opportunities for low-and-moderate income households.
•Priority 2: Prevent and reduce homelessness.
•Priority 3: Improve public infrastructure and facilities to promote safe and vibrant communities. •Priority 4: Foster poverty reduction through economic and community development, including for residents with special needs.

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 environmental justice agencies and advocates such as the California Environmental Justice Alliance. 04/23/2024 C7 31 of 59

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.

2024-2025 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDING

Honorable Mayor and City Council Members,

My name is Nannette Stamm, and I am the Chief Community Health Officer at Vista Community Clinic.

On behalf of Vista Community Clinic, I would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for the continued support via CDBG funds that the City of Vista has provided to our Wellness Clinic. We are grateful that the City is proposing to continue this support through CDBG funding in FY 2024-2025. Our Wellness Clinic has been an instrumental 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 three (3) Vista-based clinics (Vale Terrace, Grapevine and Durian). During the first half of this FY (7/1/23 – 12/31/23), we served 4,080 Vista residents through our Wellness Clinics. Of those served 97% were extremely low-income (0-30% AMI) and 81% were Hispanic. The immunization program also served 71 people experiencing homelessness and 979 Female Head of Households. We anticipate continuing to serve similar numbers in the future. The recent COVID-19 pandemic 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 our work through CDBG funding.

Parents are working hard to support their families, but it’s sad to see that no matter how hard they work, so many of them still can’t afford childcare! Upwards opens up so many child care options for families who may not qualify for other types of programs. They also assist childcare providers with actually maintaining and growing their businesses which is an incredible help!

There is a shortage of childcare in our community! The number of families in need of childcare is concerning and needs attention! We need to invest in expanding childcare services if we want to see our community thrive!

There is also a huge opportunity for job creation here! If we open more childcare centers, there will be more childcare jobs! We need more women in the workforce! Let’s help them out!

I would be so excited if you gave Upwards the opportunity to help our community! Their programs have the potential to help so many families and providers who really need it!

I would love to see city council prioritize childcare by working with Upwards! Accessible childcare for ALL families should be of high priority and concern! We need to address this NOW! Let’s help families and the working class!

Thanks so much!

Sincerely,
Michelle Martinez
