STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: On March 10, 2020, the City Council adopted the Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness, which guides all homelessness initiatives in the City of Vista. One prong of this strategy, “Prevent Homelessness,” focuses on prevention and diversion activities for individuals and families at risk of becoming homeless, emphasizing self-sufficiency and stabilization. Considered a national best practice, prevention is far less expensive than providing shelter beds with accompanying services.

On August 11, 2020, the City Council approved an agreement with North County Lifeline to administer the Vista Homeless Prevention Pilot Program, funded by a one-time state allocation of $250,000 for homeless prevention and intervention funding. Between August 2020 and August 2022, the Pilot Program provided supplemental resources (including rental and utility assistance, security deposit costs, and application fees) to 64 families, or 168 Vista residents earning less than 80% Area Median Income (AMI).

SUBJECT: SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH INTERFAITH COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR ADMINISTRATION OF VISTA EMERGENCY HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM – CATEGORY 2

on June 1, 2023, City Council directed staff to revise the Pilot Program to an on-going Rental Assistance Program.

On January 9, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-8, approving an agreement with MAAC for the administration of the Vista Emergency Housing Assistance Program (VEHAP), which provided financial assistance and housing stability to low-income Vista families and individuals who are at risk of losing their housing. This program includes rental and utility assistance, including arrears; and counseling and legal aid to prevent eviction. Applications were accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis, with awards of up to $10,000 and six months per household whose income does not exceed 65% of the AMI. During the life of the program (February to December of 2024), VEHAP produced the following results:
• 133 Vista households assisted;
• $1,187,564.56 awarded;
• $8,929 average assistance per household;
• 2.76 individuals on average per household; and,
• $30,612.28 average household income, which is below the Extremely Low-Income limit of 30% AMI ($31,850).

Over the program’s duration, 234 rental assistance applications were denied. Most denials were due to: “Not a Vista Resident” (158 applications), “Failure to Complete Application” (35 applications), and “Experiencing Homelessness” (29 applications). Four were denied due to exceeding income eligibility.

On 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. On June 10, 2025, the City Council adopted City Council Resolution No. 2025-114 approving an agreement with Interfaith Community Services 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 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 obtain other permanent housing.

Under the current program design, $200,000 supports rental assistance, individual household awards are limited to $5,000 for up to three months of support, and administrative and staffing costs are restricted 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.

Under the administration of Interfaith Community Services, three monthly reports have been submitted to the City. During July and August, no households were approved for assistance, though implementation and outreach efforts—including community referrals, application intake, and eligibility screening—were well underway. Preliminary data indicate that the primary barrier to assistance has been household ineligibility under HUD’s Category-2 Homelessness definition, which requires applicants to demonstrate imminent loss of housing within 14 days and a lack of available alternative housing or resources. Early observations suggest that while many households are at risk of housing instability, they may not meet the strict HUD Category-2 definition used for this program.

SUBJECT: SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH INTERFAITH COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR ADMINISTRATION OF VISTA EMERGENCY HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM – CATEGORY 2
On October 2, 2025, the City Council received an update on the Implementation of the Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness, including eligibility and support through VEHAP-C2, and on October 28, 2025 approved a First Amendment to the Agreement with Interfaith Community Services to expand the program to include mortgage assistance for households making up to 80% AMI (Exhibit 3).

Since the program’s inception July 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026, 32 households totaling 103 Vista residents received $116,587.22 in rental assistance funds. The average funds awarded per household was $3,643.35. 23 of the households awarded fell under the 30% AMI limit for Extremely Low Income, while nine fell under the 50% AMI limit for Very Low Income.

Staff are recommending a Second Amendment to the Agreement with Interfaith Community Services to extend the term of VEHAP-C2 contract by twelve months to June 30, 2027. There is no increase to the contract ceiling with this Second Amendment.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact with the approval of this item.

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 m 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 community 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, transitional 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.

Qualifications
Interfaith has operated programs for people experiencing homelessness or at -risk of homelessness for the past 30 years. We embrace a Housing First approach informed by principles of Trauma Informed Care, Harm Reduction, and evidence -based practices. This includes providing support and stabilization for homeless adults, veterans, families with children, seniors, and persons with severe mental illness, long histories of substance abuse, and a range of chronic health issues.

Interfaith has a demonstrated ability to successfully comply with different Federal, State, and local public, as well as private fenders' regulations and eligibility criteria.

Amid the devastating economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, Interfaith became a trusted partner with local governments in distributing emergency financial aid and providing responsive services. This resulted in increased capacity and service delivery of homelessness prevention services over a 5 -year track record since 2020:

FY2019-2020: 911 persons prevented from homelessness, $324,807 FY2020-2021: 1,226 persons prevented from homelessness, $852,325 FY2021-2022: 1,485 persons prevented from homelessness, $1,009,296 FY2022-2023: 1,601 persons prevented from homelessness, $1,063,206 FY2024-2025: 1,493 persons prevented from homelessness, $838,138 Interfaith Community Services

Interfaith Community Services
Proposal
City of Vista RFP Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness: Vista Emergency Housing Assistance Program — Category 2
Approach:

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 project 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.

Interfaith'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 Managers are trained in and employ evidence -based practices including motivational interviewing and person -centered planning.

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

Interfaith 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.

Vista 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:OOam to 12:OOpm, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Carlsbad Service Center, 5731 Palmer Way, Suite A, Carlsbad, CA 92008: 9:OOam to 12:OOpm Monday through Friday and 1:OOpm to 4:OOpm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Inland Service Center (Escondido), 550 West Washington Ave., Escondido, CA 92025: 8:OOam to 5:OOpm, 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 106/09/2026 C9 56 of 76

Docusign Envelope ID: 801B8269-0950-454B-ACE8-F32BD1DCB8E0 Interfaith Community Services City of Vista VEHAP-C2
to 5:OOpm 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.

Interfaith 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.

Intake 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
Documentation 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.

Financial 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 working 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 fmancial literacy and budget coaching for households awarded rental assistance. Case managers build clients' fmancial 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. 206/09/2026 C9 57 of 76

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.

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

Data collection 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.

Follow-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.

Customer 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
