PROGRAM
Applications were accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis, and awards are available for up to $10,000 and six months per household whose income does not exceed 65% of the Area Median Income (AMI).

D
uring the life of the program, between February and December 2024, VEHAP provided assistance to a total of 132 Vista households for a total of $1,195,000 awarded. The average assistance per household was $9,053. The average household size was 2.76 individuals, and the average household income was $30,433.27, which is below the Extremely Low-Income limit of 30% AMI.

The V
EHAP also collected data on other public assistance received by approved applicants, which notes 52 households receiving Medical, 80 households receiving CalFresh, 12 receiving CalWORKs, three receiving WIC, and one receiving Medicare. It should be noted that households may receive more than one of the above benefits. Households receiving VEHAP were also referred to other MAAC programs, including 68 to their Financial Education Network, 132 to their Housing Campaign, and three to their Workforce program.

O
n November 12, 2024, the City Council approved $200,000 from Fiscal Year 2023 year-end fund balance to continue emergency rental assistance in support of the Strategic Plan and on March 20, 2025, the Standing Committee on Homelessness discussed the design of the new emergency rental assistance program. As a result of that discussion, staff developed and published a Request for Proposals (RFP) on April 29, 2025, to solicit a program administrator, which is included as Exhibit 3.

The RF
P solicited a contractor to administer the Vista Emergency Housing Assistance Program – Category 2 Homeless (VEHAP-C2) to prevent homelessness among Vista residents who are at imminent risk of losing their housing, as defined under HUD’s Category 2 criteria. An individual or family qualifies as Category 2 homeless if they meet all of the following criteria:
• They will imminently lose their primary nighttime residence within 14 days of the date they are seeking homeless assistance;
• They have no subsequent residence identified where they can stay after losing their current housing; and
• They lack the resources or support networks (e.g., family, friends, or social services) to obtai n
ot
her permanent housing.

The R
FP made $200,000 available, required direct financial assistance to landlords, utility, and/or service providers, limited individual household awards to $5,000 for up to three months of support, and restricted administrative and staffing costs to 10% of the budget. Of the remaining funds reserved for client assistance, 75% of the funding pool is reserved for households earning up to 65% of AMI, with the remaining 25% allocated to households earning above 65% but no more than 80% of AMI.

P
roposals were received from Interfaith Community Services (Exhibit 4), Townspeople, and Retread, Inc.

Following a comprehensive review and scoring process based on experience, capacity, staffing, budget, and outcomes, staff recommend entering into an agreement with Interfaith Community Services (Interfaith).

In
terfaith’s proposal demonstrated the capacity to effectively administer the VEHAP-C2 program. Interfaith has extensive experience providing housing assistance across North County and served over 500 unduplicated Vista residents last year through its established service centers.

The pr
oposal outlines a straightforward process for eligibility screening, documentation, and disbursement of up to $5,000 in rental and utility assistance per household. Interfaith will issue payments directly to landlords and utility providers and provide basic case management, including financial literacy and 06/10/2025

PROGRAM
budgeting coaching. All data will be tracked through internal systems and Interfaith will submit monthly reports to the City of Vista detailing the number of applications received, households served, assistance amounts disbursed, and reasons for any denials. Reports will also include anonymized demographic data and documentation of income eligibility. Interfaith will conduct follow-up at six and twelve months post- assistance to assess housing stability outcomes and will provide these results as part of the City’s required annual report. All reporting will align with the requirements outlined in the RFP and be submitted in a timely manner to support program oversight and evaluation.

In
terfaith’s staffing structure is already in place, allowing for immediate program launch. The proposed budget allocates 90% of funds to direct assistance and keeps administrative costs at the 10% cap. The organization meets all insurance requirements and can begin operations within 30 days of contract execution.

G
iven their experience, infrastructure, and clear implementation plan, staff recommend awarding the VEHAP-C2 contract to Interfaith Community Services.

F
ISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the staff recommendation has a fiscal impact of $200,000 per year for up to three years from the contract date,. Funds are available in the Housing & Homelessness Services Special Department Expense Account (No. 0010355.531500.YE24).

I. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
On March 10, 2020, Vista City Council adopted the Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness (Strategic Plan) which identifies three specific goals: (1) preventing homelessness, (2) improving quality of life, and (3) reducing homelessness.

The City of Vista (City) is soliciting written proposals from qualified service providers to administer emergency rental assistance to households that meet the requirements of Category 2 Homeless as defined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). HUD defines Category 2 Homeless as individuals and families who will imminently lose their primary nighttime residence within 14 days of application for rental assistance, no subsequent residence has been identified and lack of resources or support networks to obtain permanent housing1.The goal of this Vista Emergency Housing Assistance Program – Category 2 (VEHAP-C2) is to regain housing stability for Vista residents by collecting and considering emergency housing assistance applications from households that meet the HUD Category 2 Homeless definition. Eligible assistance includes rental and utility assistance, including arrears.

II. CITY EXPECTATIONS
The City seeks a qualified and experienced Program Administrator with expertise in administering emergency housing assistance funds and supporting vulnerable households. The selected provider must:
• Serve clients within Vista city limits;
• Administer rental assistance payments directly to landlords and utility providers; • Submit anonymized monthly client data and program expenditures; and • Begin operations within 30 days of contract execution.

III. FUNDING AND METHOD OF PAYMENT
The City intends to award a one-year contract, with the option to extend for additional terms in increments at the City of Vista’s discretion, contingent on the availability of funding. The total program budget shall not exceed $200,000 in the initial 12-month term. Individual household awards shall not exceed $5,000 and are limited to a maximum of three months of assistance, including arrears.
• Administrative and staffing costs shall not exceed 10% of the budget. • Monthly invoices must include detailed services, tasks, hours, and rates. • Program funding will be allocated as follows:
o 75% of the funding pool is reserved for households earning up to 65% of Area Median Income (AMI);
o 25% of the funding pool is reserved for households earning between 66% and 80% of AMI.
o Income Limits:

• Provide up to $5,000 per household in rental assistance for a maximum of three months; • Verify payment requirement(s) with housing or service provider; • Pay arrears prior to forward assistance, if applicable; • Ensure all funds are disbursed directly to landlords or utility providers; o Required documentation:
 From the Landlord:
• Valid City of Vista business license (if applicable3); • Completed W-9 form,
• Signed affidavit confirming no duplicate rent assistance received for the same tenant/month and all rents/payments will be up to date as a result of an award.
• From the Tenant:
• Executed Rental Assistance Agreement,
• Signed affidavit confirming the tenant is not receiving other rental assistance for the covered months,

RE: Interfaith Community Services Proposal for City of Vista RFP: Vista Emergency Housing Assistance Program–Category 2

Dear Mr. Sturman:

This letter accompanies Interfaith Community Services’ proposal to the City of Vista Emergency Housing Assistance Program-Category 2. The proposed project will advance the City’s Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness and provide effective emergency housing assistance to Vista residents.

Brief organizational overview
Interfaith Community Services (Interfaith) was founded in 1979 by a group of diverse faith communities to address rising rates of hunger and homelessness in North San Diego County. Building on more than four decades of empowering homeless and low-income co mmunity members, Interfaith has grown to become the most comprehensive human services agency in North County. Last ﬁscal year, Interfaith served 20,250 individuals including 5,863 children, 694 veterans, and 3,585 seniors.

Interfaith provides both immediate safety net services and long -term, life-changing wraparound programs that help to stabilize and rebuild the lives of people in crisis. We offer more than 75 programs including:
homeless outreach, emergency shelter, transi tional housing, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, recuperative care, substance use disorder treatment, employment services, case management, youth development, basic needs (food, hygiene, mail service), and referral and advocacy.

Interfaith is a trusted local resource and has taken a leading role in shaping service delivery in the region.

Interfaith’s involvement in the San Diego County’s Continuum of Care (CoC) goes back to its origins nearly 20 years ago. Interfaith has been an integral member organization of the San Diego Coordinated Entry System (CES) since its inception and served as lead service agency for the CES expansion from the City of San Diego to North San Diego County.

Key staff
Interfaith’s executive management team members are recognized leaders in the field and bring extensive expertise in working with the target population, including:

Greg Anglea, Chief Executive Officer, provides overarching leadership for Interfaith. Greg has overseen multiple Interfaith acquisition and rehabilitation capital projects, including the Hawthorne Veteran and Family Resource Center, Haven House Year-Round Shelter, the Carlsbad Service Center, the Recovery and Wellness Center, and the Abraham & Lillian Turk Recuperative Care Center. He joined Interfaith in 2006 as Volunteer Coordinator and Faith Liaison, then served as Development Director before moving in 2011 to CSU San Marcos as Director of Major Gifts. In 2014 Anglea returned as Interfaith’s Executive Director.

Anglea is a CoC Advisory Board member, chaired the CoC committee to create the Community Plan, serves 06/10/2025

Services to the Vista Community:

In the most recent fiscal year, Interfaith served 516 unduplicated clients from the City of Vista. This included 384 adults and 132 children. Interfaith provided a range of comprehensive services to Vista residents, with access facilitated through its three service centers: 43 clients accessed the Coastal Service Center in Oceanside, 50 accessed the Carlsbad Service Center, and 373 accessed the Inland Service Center in Escondido. The remainder of Vista clients accessed other agency -wide programs. Supportive services related to basic needs (e.g. emergency food, hygiene items, diapers), information/referral, and case management were the most frequently accessed services. Rental assistance, employment supports (including transportation, vital documents, clothin g supports), and utility assistance were the most requested services. Interfaith distributed $107,729 in financial aid to Vista residents, including $87,057 in rental assistance.

Successful Implementation of Similar Services:
• City of San Marcos CDBG-CV: Interfaith held a contract with the City of San Marcos to provide rental assistance to households impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. During the contract term of September 24, 2020 to December 31, 2023, Interfaith assisted a total of 96 San Marcos families comprised of 190 adults and 147 children. This greatly exceeded the original objective to serve 35 households. Interfaith distributed $489,752 to prevent homelessness throughout the pandemic. All contract objectives were met and exceeded.
• City of Carlsbad CDBG FY23 -24 (#PSA24-02CDBG): Objectives included rental assistance and emergency housing case management to prevent homelessness to 14 Carlsbad families; basic needs services to at least 200 unduplicated Carlsbad individuals, and employme nt services to at least 20 individuals. All program objectives were met or exceeded. Total contract award: $58,823.

Proposal
City of Vista RFP Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness: Vista Emergency Housing Assistance Program– Category 2
Appro
ach:

Interfaith’s approach emphasizes homelessness prevention, helping people stay housed. Considered a national best practice, homelessness prevention is far less expensive than providing 24/7 emergency shelter and assisting individuals to exit homelessness. This conserves community resources, allowing currently homeless clients to be served more efficiently. Interfaith will provide immediate financial assistance and case management to address housing stabilization for Vista residents who face eviction and/or imminent homelessness.

The pr
oject will provide robust homelessness prevention services for Vista residents to reduce the influx of homeless individuals and families due to economic and housing pressures. Although not every household that is evicted becomes homeless, there is a high correlation between eviction and homelessness. Housing market dynamics, including overall cost-burden – the percentage of income spent on housing – remain a consistent indicator of homelessness and eviction (Byrne, Munley, Fargo, Montgomery, & Culhane, 2013; Marr, 2016). Both housing cost and income are important, but unexpected changes in income appear to be the main shock that precipitates homelessness, more so than shocks in rent level (O’Flaherty, 2009). Homelessness prevention services are more important than ever as the already overloaded homeless services system does not have the capacity to aid a large influx of newly homeless individuals. If awarded, the Vista Emergency Housing Assistance Program funds will provide an important means of intervention for Vista residents.

Int
erfaith’s homelessness prevention services are person-centered and align with the core components of Housing First, working with clients who have poor credit or financial history, poor or lack of rental history, criminal convictions unrelated to tenancy, or behaviors that indicate a lack of housing readiness. Case Managers assess each household to determine eligibility for rental assistance and other supportive services and engage clients in an individual service plan to identify and track progress toward lasting solutions. Case Ma nagers are trained in and employ evidence-based practices including motivational interviewing and person-centered planning.

Cli
ent Outreach
Interfaith will utilize its primary service locations and extensive referral networks to identify clients and provide access to services, as described below:

Inte
rfaith will circulate information on the availability of the housing assistance programs in coordination with the City of Vista. Additional community outreach efforts may include posting information to Interfaith’s website and social media channels, distribution of bilingual (English/Spanish) flyers, and presentations at community meetings/events.

Vist
a residents will be able to access services through Interfaith’s primary service centers located in Oceanside (near Oceanside/Vista border), Carlsbad, and Escondido. Case Managers are available for appointments with clients needing assistance at the following times:
• Coastal Service Center (Oceanside/Vista), 4700 North River Rd., Oceanside, CA 92054: 8:00am to 12:00pm, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
• Carlsbad Service Center, 5731 Palmer Way, Suite A, Carlsbad, CA 92008: 9:00am to 12:00pm Monday through Friday and 1:00pm to 4:00pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. • Inland Service Center (Escondido) , 550 West Washington Ave., Escondido, CA 92025: 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday.

All the service centers are accessible by public transportation and have on-site parking spaces.

In
addition, Vista residents can call Interfaith during regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 8:00am Interfaith Community Services
City of Vista VEHAP-C2
1 06/10/2025
D2
54 of 127
to 5:00pm to inquire about rental assistance. Phone lines are monitored by Interfaith’s Office of First Impressions (OFI) staff, who are trained to conduct initial screenings and refer potential clients for further screening.

Int
erfaith has an extensive referral network and accepts referrals from 2-1-1 San Diego, the Coordinated Entry System, City of Vista Housing and Homeless Services Division , homeless outreach teams, law enforcement, and partner agencies providing legal assistance, healthcare, housing programs , and other social services. Clients may also be identified and referred to the program by internal staff.

Int
ake and Enrollment
Case Managers will complete a needs assessment with each household during the screening and intake process.

Information will be collected including demographic information such as race/ethnicity, gender, income, source of income, education level, and housing status. As part of eligibility, clients must show proof of income. If the client has zero income, they sign a certification of zero income.

The
following documents will be collected in the applicant process to verify eligibility and initiate services:
• Client demographic form – including household size
• Imminent Risk of Homelessness Verification (HUD Category 2) - e.g. “pay or quit” notice, rental ledger , client-attestation
• Income Verification (i.e. paystubs, SSI statements, pensions, etc.) • Copy of the Applicant’s Identification (i.e., driver’s license; state ID card) and Social Security Cards • Vista residency verification (e.g. lease, utility account) • Consent for Services
Docu
mentation for rental assistance also includes proof of emergency and copy of bank statements. Client data is recorded in Interfaith’s client services database Efforts to Outcomes (ETO), and San Diego’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), when necessary.

Fi
nancial Assessment and Case Management
When gathering proof of income documentation, Case Managers will verify that households meet the income requirements set forth in the HUD Category 2 Homeless Definition. They will confirm that households are earning up to 65% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or 66% - 80% of AMI. In addition, Interfaith will maintain a tracking system and accounting records to document that a minimum of 75% of the rental assistance funding pool is reserved for households earning up to 65% of the AMI.

In w
orking with their Case Manager, Vista clients will identify what has destabilized the household or where they require added temporary support and through case management and assistance, address the unmet need. Case Managers will assist clients to stay in their housing or relocate to another, more affordable housing option, without entering the homeless system. Interfaith will provide financial literacy and budget coaching for households awarded rental assistance. Case managers build clients’ financial literacy by working with clients to create monthly budgets, review their credit reports, and/or discuss where to save money and how to establish bank accounts. Clients will be encouraged and invited to attend financial education sessions conducted in partnership with Mission Fed and other financial partners.

In
addition to direct financial assistance, Interfaith will connect these households to its comprehensive Supportive Services programs, including: mediation services; eviction support through referrals to Legal Aid, employment services, financial literacy and budgeting, advocacy (e.g., negotiating down payments for rental arrears or negotiating payment plans), credit repair support, tenant education, transportation assistance, emergency food supplies, affordable health care referrals, financial assistance to receive California ID cards and birth certificates, tax preparation, as well as CalFresh and Medi-Cal application assistance.

Rental Assistance Disbursement
Financial assistance for short -term rental assistance or rental in arrears (a maximum of $5,000 per household and up to three months based on need) will be provided once all verification documents have been obtained. Advocacy and communication with the landlord and landlord mediation are provided, if needed.

All
rental assistance funds will be distributed directly to landlords or utility providers. Interfaith staff will obtain the required documentation:
1) A valid City of Vista business license (if applicable), 2) A completed W-9 form, and
3) A signed affidavit confirming no duplicate rental assistance has been received for the same tenant and/or month.

The affidavit will also contain a statement that all rents/payments will be up to date as a result of the rental assistance award.

St
aff will also require clients receiving rental assistance to execute a rental assistance agreement and to si gn an affidavit confirming that they are not receiving other rental assistance for the covered months.

Data c
ollection and outcome tracking
Interfaith will utilize internal evaluation methods, including quantitative and qualitative data, to assess the project’s impact. Results will be obtained from program records, client case notes, and aggregate data collected as part of Interfaith’s recordkeeping and outcome tracking. Client data will be recorded in Interfaith’s Efforts-To -Outcomes (ETO) internal agency -wide program data collection system, as well as the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) when appropriate. Both systems generate detailed reports that are used to document service impacts and measure progress towards outcomes. This will include demographics, income levels and sources, employment and housing status, and participation in Interfaith’s programs as well as those offered by other regional human service providers. Additionally, distribution of rental assistance and other aid will be tracked in ETO and Interfaith’s accounting system to determine the number of households assisted, amount of assistance, and outcomes.

Follo
w-up: Case Managers will schedule 6 and 12 -month follow-ups with households assisted. The client will be contacted via phone or email and asked follow-up questions to record housing status. Contact attempts and results will be documented in ETO. If a household is struggling to maintain housing, additional resources will be offered.

Cu
stomer Satisfaction Survey: Interfaith will survey all awarded households to determine their satisfaction with participating in the program and working with the agency.

On a
monthly basis, Interfaith will provide the City with data to include:
• Summary of applicants who were approved and received housing assistance including the following:
o Name and address
o Participant Eligibility
o Household size and income
o Basic demographics
o Reason for financial loss
o Total housing assistance payment(s) approved including the amount paid and for what time period • Summary of Applicants who were denied housing assistance including the following:
o Name, address, and reason for housing assistance program denial • Housing status of program participants six months and 12 months after receiving housing assistance • Client Satisfaction Surveys distributed and received.

Int
erfaith will also provide an annual report within 45 days of the completion of the first contract year and, if extended, annual reports in each subsequent contract year.
