SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
The City will monitor its performance through the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). Each year the City will review and report progress it has made in carrying out its Strategic Plan and Annual Action Plan. The CAPER will include a description of resources made available, investment of available resources, geographic distribution and location of investments, results/outcomes, actions taken to affirmatively further fair housing, and any other actions taken during the Program Year (PY) as outlined in the Annual Action Plan.
Throughout the PY the City will utilize the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) for setting up, funding, drawing down, and reporting Community Development Block Grant and other funds as required. IDIS reports will be incorporated into the CAPER and made available to the public as required.
The City will utilize a performance measurement system to ensure accurate reporting of results in IDIS and in the CAPER for the programs and projects undertaken by the City during the PY.
In addition to the HUD monitoring and reporting requirements, the City will undertake the following monitoring program for its housing and community development programs and projects:
• The City will review and report annually to the State Department of Housing and Community Development on the progress the City has made in implementing its Housing Element. • The City will annually monitor Sub-Recipients to ensure compliance with federal and local requirements outlined in the agreements. The monitoring will include site visits and a review of files, including documentation of federal overlay requirements.
The City will annually monitor assisted housing projects for compliance with affordability requirements.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds may not be sufficient to fully fund activities undertaken and are leveraged with a variety of Federal, State funds, charitable organizations and private donations. The CDBG funds do not require matching funds.
If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan There is no publicly owned land or properties located within the City that will be used to address needs identified in the Strategic Plan.
Discussion
In addition to the City’s CDBG funds, the City will also have $500,000 available in State HOME Program Income (PI) funds for Housing Rehabilitation and First Time Home Buyer programs.
The City operates an Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation (OOR) Program. The amount and availability of Program Income (PI) cannot be predicted due to the fact that PI is generated by past loans being paid off and the proceeds deposited into the OOR Program.
The City will aggressively pursue or support applications by other entities for, Federal and State funding over the duration of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan to address priority needs; however, other funding sources available to the City or its partners will be through a competitive application process. The City cannot be assured an application(s) will be successful based on the rating and ranking criteria. Should the City be successful in applying for other Federal or State funding sources and matching funds be required, the City will continue to struggle to meet future matching requirements.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The activities funded during the 2025-2026 PY are consistent with priority needs identified in the Strategic Plan. Lack of funding is the greatest obstacle to addressing underserved needs. The City has $585,041 in CDBG funds available for the PY. The City received nearly $1,040,000 in funding requests. As a result, some funding requests were not fully funded. Four (4) applications that were received were not approved for funding.
In addition, the CDBG Program puts a cap on the amount of funds that can be spent on Public Services.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)set limits for both Public Services and Program Administration. The spending cap for Public Services is 15% and 20% for Program Administration of the City’s yearly CDBG allocation, plus program income.
A combined total of $133,315.23 from Program Income and Revolving Loan funds were used to fund the City’s Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program.

Resources targeted to new construction and preservation of existing housing will be allocated on a City-wide basis.
Resources targeted to special needs populations, including homeless, will also be allocated on a City-wide basis, where needs are identified and/or where resources can be coordinated with existing facilities and services.
Activities such as public facilities and improvements will be targeted to areas identified as Qualified Low/Mod Census Tracts; these are those older, low-income neighborhoods within the City most in need of assistance.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The purpose of this section is to outline actions the City will take to address the needs of public housing.
The City does not own or operate Public Housing or have any oversight over the operation of the Regional Housing Authority (RHA); therefore, the City will act to continue its efforts to maintain a close working relationship with the RHA supporting their actions to address the needs of Public Housing.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing As noted above, the City does not own or operate any public housing in the City. The RHA serves the City.
During the Program Year, the City will continue it close working relationship with the RHA to expand housing opportunities for the City's residents.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
Since the City does not own or operate public housing or have oversight over RHA operations, there are no actions directed specifically to Public Housing tenants.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
The RHA is not designated as “troubled”.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
This section identifies the actions the City will take during the 2025-2026 Program Year (PY) to address homelessness. The City’s goals are to address chronic homelessness by assisting transitional housing programs that provide on-going supportive services such as case management, education, and job training to help ensure that people do not return to homelessness. The City will also provide assistance to homeless persons and low-income families at risk of becoming homeless.
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
The City does not provide any homeless services; however, the City does work in partnership with the Sutter-Yuba Homeless Consortium (SYHC) and Continuum of Care to address homelessness. Annually the SYHC conducts a Point-in-Time (PIT) count. The PIT provides valuable information, including demographic and living situation information that allows service providers and the community to better identify and evaluate the homeless population and their needs. During the PY the City will provide CDBG funds to the SYHC and its efforts to address homeless needs.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons During the PY the City will allocate a portion of CDBG funds under the Public Service Category to organizations that provide emergency shelter and transitional housing services to the homeless. The City will provide CDBG funding to the SYHC who is acting as the lead agency for all three (3) non-profit agencies to address the needs and provide services to the homeless population. Funding for Bridges to HousingHomeless Assistance, (security deposits and rental assistance); Hands of Hope-Day via Coordinated Entry day services, case management, and referrals for supportive services; and the Regional Emergency Housing Team (REST) for emergency winter shelter.
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 will provide CDBG funding for several organizations that serve the homeless, including families with children and veterans. In conjunction with the SYHC, organizations that will be assisted during the PY
DRAFT 2025 - 2029 Consolidated Plan 129
are: Bridges to Housing; assists homeless or about to be homeless families with one-time financial assistance, (security deposits, utility deposits, etc.), referrals, case management, and on-going support to ensure they do not become homeless again. Hands of Hope-Day via Coordinated Entry day services, case management, and referrals for supportive services and the Regional Emergency Housing Team (REST) for emergency winter shelter. The Central Valley Homeless Veterans Assistance Program is a supporter of the Yuba-Sutter Veterans Stand Down event held annually.
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
The City’s efforts during the PY to prevent homelessness will include affordable housing programs that maintain the existing affordable housing stock or increase the number of affordable housing units available to low-income households. As noted above, the City will also support housing programs that address the underlying reasons for homelessness and provide on-going support services for formerly homeless families and programs that provide assistance to low-income families at risk of becoming homeless, such as the Bridges to Housing Program.
Discussion
In addition to resources available to and controlled by the City, organizations within the community for which their mission is to provide services to the homeless may receive funds from a variety of federal, state, and local sources. These funding sources include Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Emergency Food and Shelter Program, (EFSP, FEMA), and Continuum of Care-Supportive Housing Program, (SHP), charitable organizations and private donations. Throughout the PY the City will work closely and support the efforts of the Sutter-Yuba Homeless Consortium to address the housing and supportive needs of the homeless.
DRAFT 2025 - 2029 Consolidated Plan 130
AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The City’s 2021 Housing Element provides a detailed analysis of potential barriers to affordable housing development, including local, State, and Federal governmental constraints, market constraints, and environmental constraints. The following provides a summary of discussion contained in the City’s Housing Element:
Governmental Constraints:
Governmental constraints include the regulatory functions that are basic to the role of local government; however, there is much debate about whether or not these regulations discourage the availability of housing to people of all income levels.
Land Use Regulations:
The land use categories contained in the City’s General Plan, (Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential and High Density Residential), provide for residential grown at various density levels.
Zoning requirements for setbacks, lot coverage and parking are not perceived as a constraint to housing development in the City.
Permits and Fees:
The 2021 Housing Element concludes that permits and fees in the City are low in comparison to most other cities in the Sacramento region and do not represent a significant financial constraint to housing development. The City Council has recently approved a reduction in Development Impact Fees within the existing City limits to equal the Infill Development Impact fees in order to encourage housing development.
Infrastructure:
The provision of on-site improvements, such as streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, landscaping, water, and sewer are standard conditions of approval. In many cases, off-site improvements and/or mitigations may also be required to accommodate development. These off-site improvements might include street widening, traffic signals, public utility easements, and flood control improvements. Both on-site and offsite improvements are incorporated into the total project costs discussed under Market Constraints below.
DRAFT 2025 - 2029 Consolidated Plan 131
Development Review Process:
The City’s development review guidelines work to ensure a streamlined project review process and ensure fairness and consistency in the development review process. The City’s development and design review processes are not perceived as a barrier to development.
Building Code and Enforcement:
The City’s building codes represent basic construction standards within the State of California and thus do not place an undue burden on the construction or rehabilitation of affordable housing.
Reasonable Accommodation and Housing for Persons with Disabilities:
In accordance with California State SB 520, the Housing Element analyzes potential and actual government constraints specifically on development of housing for persons with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is supported at the State and local level. The City follows State codes, which are more restrictive than Federal codes.
In conformance with the passage of SB 520, the City has evaluated its zoning code, building code, and permit processing procedures for compliance with ADA guidelines. Using the SB 520 Analysis Tool, staff found no significant barriers to the development, maintenance, and improvement of housing for persons with disabilities. Answers to the questions contained in the Analysis Tool are kept on file and will be periodically updated as required.
The City does not have an official provision for reasonable accommodation, (modifications or exceptions to zoning laws and other land use regulations which make it easier for persons with disabilities to gain access to housing). The Housing Element identifies a program for adopting a reasonable accommodation ordinance scheduled for completion during the current Housing Element cycle. At this time staff report an informal policy to “do whatever possible to assist” persons with disabilities to have access to housing.
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
Consistent with the Housing Element, Housing Program Schedule, the City is addressing the following policies that may act as barriers to the development of affordable housing. • Amend the zoning code to allow second units in R-2 and R-3 zones per state law – Completed.
DRAFT 2025 - 2029 Consolidated Plan 132
• Amend the zoning code to address requirements of AB2634, allowing for single-room occupancy (SRO) housing without a use permit in C zones. SRO housing is one type of housing appropriate for extremely low-income housing and special needs groups--Completed. • The City will continue to ensure zoning standards and development requirements to facilitate the construction of higher density housing. The City will also encourage development of housing at the higher end of the density range in land designated as low/medium and medium high density through the provision of density bonuses and negotiated alternative parking standards, street improvement standards, maximum density, and lot coverage—On-going. • Develop regulations for condominium conversions that minimize the displacement of lower income residents and prevent the loss of affordable housing units; conversions can be allowable as an opportunity for homeownership for current residents—On-going.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
This section addresses the City’s planned actions during the 2025-2026 Program Year (PY) to carry out strategies covered in the Consolidated Plan including, fostering and maintaining affordable housing, evaluation and reduction of lead based paint hazards, reduce the number of families within the poverty level, and develop the institutional structure and enhancing coordination between public and private agencies that serve low-income and special needs populations.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The greatest obstacle to meeting underserved needs in the City is the lack of funding. During this PY and the duration of the Con Plan period the City will continue its efforts to identify funding sources, support funding applications by developers and service providers that expand the availability of affordable housing and support applications for homeless assistance and supportive service funds. The City will also implement zoning and land use policies that encourage the development of affordable housing. The City will continue to participate and encourage partnerships between local agencies and organizations so underserved needs may be better met by collaborative use of resources.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City will continue to offer and/or provide funding for a range of affordable housing activities, including single-family housing rehabilitation, multi-family housing rehabilitation, and first-time homebuyer programs. The City will work in partnership with private developers, local non-profit agencies, and the Regional Housing Authority to develop and preserve affordable housing units.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City will continue to implement HUD’s lead-based paint regulations that became effective in September 2000. Efforts by the City to reduce lead-based paint hazards include the disclosure to homeowners of possible lead hazards, sponsoring certification training for contractors, implementation of lead risk assessment, clearance testing procedures, and supervision of lead-related work performed. In addition, the City will continue to adhere to its Housing Rehabilitation Program guidelines that were amended to stipulate the type and amount of assistance provided and define costs covered under the City’s Lead Reduction Program.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City will continue its efforts to increase the availability of affordable housing opportunities and assist homeless individuals or those who may be at risk of homelessness. In addition, the City will implement land use policies that seek to balance the creation of jobs and housing and ensure a variety of employment
DRAFT 2025 - 2029 Consolidated Plan 134
opportunities requiring varying levels of skills and training.
The City will continue its efforts to develop and maintain cooperative relationships with public and private organizations that share a common mission for improving the quality of life for individuals through housing, social services, employment and skills training, and economic development.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City's Development Services Department is the City Department responsible for the administration of the City’s Housing Programs, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The Development Services Department also oversees the City’s Community Development activities. The City is allocated CDBG funds annually and both internal City Departments and external Sub-Recipient agencies implement the programs and projects identified in the Annual Action Plan. The Development Services Department will continue to collaborate with other City Departments, the City Council, City Commissions, as well as local agencies and organizations and residents to develop programs and activities that serve low- and moderate-income individuals and families within the jurisdiction.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to meet with and maintain a dialog with non-profit agencies and organizations that serve low- and moderate-income persons. The City will work to enhance and improve the organizational capaCity and foster a collective planning process.
The City will continue to work closely with the Regional Housing Authority to develop, preserve, and improve the supply of affordable housing in the City.
Discussion:
Although there are coordinated programs and services to address the needs of lower-income households and the homeless, it is recognized that many unmet needs will remain.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Yuba City is an entitlement jurisdiction for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, one of several Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) formula entitlement programs. As an entitlement jurisdiction, HUD requires the City to complete and submit an Annual Action Plan Amendment (Action Plan Amendment) in order to receive CDBG funds annually. The 2024 Action Plan Amendment is the fifth and final Action Plan Amendment covered by the 2020 Consolidated Plan (Con Plan).
The purpose of this amendment is to transfer $27,000 from the 2024 Yuba Sutter Gleaner’s Foodbank – Truck Repair, to the City’s 2025 Public Works – ADA Sidewalk and Public Facilities Improvement project.
The format of the 2024 Action Plan Amendment is required and consistent with HUD’s Integrated and Disbursement Information System (IDIS).
The 2024 Action Plan Amendment consists of five (5) sections including: 1) Executive Summary; 2) Expected Resources; 3) Annual Goals and Objectives; 4) Affordable Housing; and, 5) Program Specific Requirements.
Yuba City’s Development Services Department is the lead agency responsible for developing the 2024 Action Plan Amendment and is responsible for the administration of CDBG funds, including implementation of projects and programs and monitoring projects and programs to ensure compliance with HUD requirements and regulations.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The city is required to implement and use HUD’s Outcome Performance Measurement System (OPMS).
The OPMS was developed to enable HUD to collect and standardize performance data on entitlementfunded activities from all grantees nationwide for use in reporting to Congress on the effectiveness of HUD’s formula entitlement programs.
Based on the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis information, the City’s 2020 Con Plan identifies the following affordable housing and community development goals by OPMS objectives and outcomes.
3. Evaluation of past performance
The city is required, annually at the conclusion of the Program Year (PY), to complete and submit to HUD a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) reporting on the Action Plan
2024 Annual Action Plan 2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Amendment Goal outcomes and expenditures. Subsequently to the submittal of the CAPER, HUD assesses the City’s management of CDBG program funds.
Overall, the city has performed satisfactorily managing the CDBG Program and addressing its priority needs through the programs set out in the 2020 Con Plan.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process The Citizen Participation process included a variety of efforts to encourage public participation, especially from lower income residents and service providers, in the development of the 2024 Action Plan Amendment. Two meetings were held during the Action Plan Amendment development process to solicit public input. The first public meeting was held via Zoom on March 8, 2024 to solicit input and request participation in the application process and in the development of the 2024 Action Plan Amendment. The Public Hearing will be held on June 18, 2024, and published in the Appeal-Democrat for a 30-day comment period, in accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan. A 30-day public review and comment period commenced on May 18, 2024, and ended on June 18, 2024.
The meetings were noticed on the City’s website, in addition, information regarding the meetings was emailed directly to the City’s CDBG Interest List, including public and private service providers and government agencies.

Narrative (optional)
The City’s Development Services Department (DSD) is the lead agency responsible for overseeing development of the Annual Action Plan Amendment.
HUD requires entitlement jurisdictions that receive CDBG, HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) or Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds directly from HUD to complete an Annual Action Plan Amendment.
The City does not receive HOME or ESG funds directly from HUD; as a result, the Action Plan Amendment focuses only on identifying and prioritizing programs allowed under CDBG funding.
The City’s Development Services Department is responsible for the administration of the CDBG funds, including facilitating project/program implementation, monitoring project activities and outcomes, and ensuring compliance with all HUD requirements and regulations such as fair housing, Davis-Bacon requirements (prevailing wages), environmental reviews, affirmative action, competitive bidding procedures, and fiscal and contract administration. CDBG activities are carried out by both internal City Departments as well as external Sub-Recipients.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1. Introduction
The consolidated planning process requires jurisdictions to contact and consult with other public and private agencies when developing the Plan. The Plan itself must include a summary of the consultation process, including identification of the agencies that participated in the process. Jurisdictions also are required to summarize their efforts to enhance coordination between public and private agencies.
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(l))
The City has developed and maintained on-going, collaborative relationships with the Regional Housing Authority, Sutter-Yuba Homeless Consortium, (SYHC), local service providers, Sutter County agencies and the Yuba-Sutter Economic Development Corporation in an effort to enhance the coordination of services to low and moderate-income persons, special needs groups, and businesses. The City’s efforts have included attending meetings, exchange of information and coordination of services.
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.
The city works in cooperation with the SYHC to address the needs of homelessness in the community.
The SYHC consists of over 50 members, including the City of Yuba City, that utilize the Continuum of Care planning process to address homeless needs in the City of Yuba City and throughout the region.
The SYHC allows for maximizing funding resources, helps to avoid duplication of services and provides for a comprehensive approach to homelessness. During the 2024 Action Plan Amendment process, the City consulted members of the SYHC in order to meet the Action Plan Amendment requirements.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS This section is not applicable as the city is not an ESG grantee. The Sutter-Yuba Homeless Consortium is the entity that administers the HMIS.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
CDBG funds may not be sufficient to fully fund activities undertaken and are leveraged with a variety of Federal, State funds, charitable organizations and private donations. The CDBG funds do not require matching funds.
2024 Annual Action Plan Amendment 13
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 regional Housing Authority (RHA) manages the City’s Homes2Families (H2F) and Neighborhood Stabilization properties (NSP). These properties are owned by the City and are used for affordable rental units based on California’s Department of Housing and Community Development guidelines. There are currently seventeen (17) NSP properties and five (5) H2F properties.
Discussion
The city operates the Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program, (Housing Rehabilitation Program). The amount and availability of funds for this Program cannot be predicted due to HUD funding constraints and the unknown amount of Program Income that will be received. Program Income is generated by past loans being paid off and the proceeds deposited into the Housing Rehabilitation Program activity.
The City will pursue, or support applications by other entities for, Federal and State funding over the 2024 Program Year to address priority needs; however, other funding sources available to the City or its partners will be through a competitive application process. Due to limited funding availability, the City will struggle to meet future matching requirements should the City be successful in applying for other Federal or State funding sources and matching funds be required.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The activities recommended for funding for the 2024 PY are consistent with the priority needs identified in the Strategic Plan. Lack of funding is the greatest obstacle to addressing underserved needs. The City has $567,725 in CDBG funds available for the PY. In addition, a total of $95,993.82 of unexpended CDBG funds from 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2023 Program Years will be used to fund the proposed programs and projects for the 2024 Program Year.
$27,000 will be transferred from the 2024 allocation into the 2025 PY projects.
The city received $1,830,554.93 in funding requests. In addition, the City is limited to the amount of funds that can be spent on Public Services and Program Administration & Planning in accordance with HUD regulations. As a result, the City is limited from spending more than 15% of its annual allocation, plus Program Income, on Public Service activities; therefore, some activities are not funded completely, and some are partially funded based on the amount requested.
2024 Annual Action Plan Amendment 18
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City is requesting $110,000 for Program Administration for the 2024 PY, this is less than the allowable 20% of the 2024 allocation because there are unexpended administrative funds from previous years.

Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City allocates the majority of funding on a city-wide basis; however, the distribution of funding is predicated somewhat on the nature of the activity to be funded. Resources targeted to new construction and preservation of existing housing will be allocated on a city-wide basis.
Discussion
Resources targeted at special needs populations, including homeless, will also be allocated on a citywide basis, where needs are identified and/or where resources can be coordinated with existing facilities and services.
Activities such as public facilities and improvements will be targeted to areas identified as Qualified Low/Mod Census Tracts; these are those older, low-income neighborhoods within the city most in need of assistance.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The purpose of this section is to outline actions the city will take to address the needs of Public Housing.
The City does not own or operate Public Housing or have any oversight over the operation of the Regional Housing Authority (RHA); therefore, the City will act to continue its efforts to maintain a close working relationship with the RHA supporting their actions to address the needs of Public Housing.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
As noted above, the city does not own or operate any Public Housing in the City; the RHA serves the City. During the 2024 Program Year, the city will continue its close working relationship with the RHA to expand housing opportunities for the City's residents. Funding from the Permanent Local Housing Allocation grant is being looked at by the city and the RHA to be used for Public Housing needs.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
The RHA is not designated as troubled.
Discussion
The RHA and the City have and continue to have a close working relationship where funding opportunities that the city has are shared with the RHA in collaboration to work to address the housing needs of the city. The city and the RHA work together on maintenance of existing Public Housing; the city is committed to remove barriers to developing additional permanent and Public Housing options.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(I) Introduction
This section identifies the actions the city will take during the 2024 Program Year, (2024 PY), to address homelessness. The City’s goals are to address chronic homelessness by assisting Transitional Housing Programs that provide on-going supportive services such as case management, education and job training to help ensure that people do not return to homelessness. The city will also provide assistance to homeless persons and low-income families at risk of becoming homeless.
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
The City works in partnership with the Sutter-Yuba Homeless Consortium (SYHC) to address homelessness. Annually the SYHC conducts a Point-in-Time (PIT) count. The PIT provides valuable information, including demographic and living situation information that allows service providers and the community to better identify and evaluate the homeless population and their needs. During the 2024 PY the City will provide CDBG funds to the SYHC and its efforts to address homeless needs.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons During the 2024 PY the City will allocate a portion of CDBG funds under the Public Service Category to organizations that provide emergency shelter and transitional housing services to the homeless. The City will provide CDBG funding to the SYHC who is acting as the lead agency for all six (6) non-profit agencies to address the needs and provide services to the homeless population. Funding for three of the service providers are for the Sutter County Homeless Shelter for day-to-day operational services, Hands of Hope for that provides showers, laundry facilities, clothes closet, computer access as well as referral and advocacy services, and REST for emergency winter overnight services.
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 will provide CDBG funding for several organizations that serve the homeless, including families with children and veterans. In conjunction with the SYHC, organizations that will be assisted during the 2024 PY are: 1) Bridges to Housing – provides financial assistance to homeless or at-risk individuals who are in need of deposit and rental assistance. They will also provide assistance to help pay for past due rent and utilities as well as referrals, case management and on-going support to ensure they do not
2024 Annual Action Plan Amendment 29
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
become homeless again. 2) Central Valley Homeless Veterans Assistance Program – provides financial assistance to low-income veterans in order to obtain emergency, transitional and permanent housing, as well as helping at-risk veterans maintain their permanent housing stability. This agency also provides financial assistance to extremely low-moderate income veterans for utility payments, if no other options are available, to help maintain the veteran's housing in a habitable condition. 3) Hands of Hope – assists with the operation of the Coordinated Entry System (CES) that allows fair and equal access to housing and supportive services. 4) The Salvation Army – provides rental assistance and supportive services to homeless individuals and households in the community. This program provides financial assistance in the following ways: application fees, moving expenses, monthly rental assistance, utility assistance, rental deposits, and storage fees. 5) Regional Emergency Shelter Team (REST) – provides seasonal emergency shelter to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Yuba City; the Emergency Winter Shelter operates each year from late November to early April. This program provides shelter, meals, case management, and other supportive services.
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.
The City’s efforts during the 2024 PY to prevent homelessness will include Affordable Housing Programs that maintain the existing affordable housing stock or increase the number of affordable housing units available to low-income households. As noted above, the City will also support housing programs that address the underlying reasons for homelessness and provide on-going support services for formerly homeless families and programs that provide assistance to low-income families at risk of becoming homeless, such as the Bridges to Housing Program.
Discussion
In addition to resources available to and controlled by the City, organizations within the community for which their mission is to provide services to the homeless may receive funds from a variety of federal, state and local sources. These funding sources include Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), California Emergency Solutions and Housing (CESH), Homeless Emergency Aid Program, (HEAP), Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), Homeless Housing and Prevention Program (HHAP) and Continuum of Care Program Competition, as well as charitable organizations and private donations. Throughout the 2024 PY the City will work closely and support the efforts of the SYHC to address the housing and supportive needs of the homeless.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The most significant barrier to affordable housing in the City of Yuba City is the Lack of affordable housing due to the housing market influencing rising rents, due in part to the cost of development, which outpaces the ability for residents to access housing. Where affordable rental housing is available, standards to secure housing continue to make housing inaccessible for some low- and extremely lowincome households. The City targets housing resources, including entitlement CDBG and State of California HOME and Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds, to the creation of affordable rental units, preservation of existing affordable rental units and owned homes, and permanent supportive housing for low-income and very low-income households.
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’s 2021-2029 Housing Element provides a detailed analysis of potential barriers to affordable housing development, including local, State and Federal governmental constraints, market constraints and environmental constraints. This updated Housing Element incorporated community outreach regarding fair housing issues from the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments (2020) and allowed the City to reach members across all socioeconomic segments. The following provides a summary of discussion contained in the City’s Housing Element:
Governmental Constraints:
Governmental constraints include the regulatory functions that are basic to the role of local government; however, there is much debate about whether or not these regulations discourage the availability of housing to people of all income levels.
Land Use Regulations:
The land use categories contained in the City’s General Plan, (Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential and High Density Residential), provide for residential grown at various density levels.
Infrastructure:
The provision of on-site improvements, such as streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, landscaping, water and sewer are standard conditions of approval. In many cases, off-site improvements and/or mitigations may also be required to accommodate development. These off-site improvements might include street widening, traffic signals, public utility easements, flood control improvements. Both on-site and off-site
2024 Annual Action Plan Amendment 31
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
improvements are incorporated into the total project costs discussed under Market Constraints below.
Development Review Process:
The City’s development review guidelines work to ensure a streamlined project review process and ensure fairness and consistency in the development review process. The City’s development and design review processes are not perceived as a barrier to development.
Building Code and Enforcement:
The City’s building codes represent basic construction standards within the State of California and thus do not place an undue burden on the construction or rehabilitation of affordable housing; however, stakeholders expressed that incomplete code enforcement may exacerbate issues that low-income individuals may face. (i.e. when code enforcement does not adequately follow up on housing condition violations result in tenants or owners being displaced due to cost of repairs.) Reasonable Accommodation and Housing for Persons with Disabilities:
In accordance with California State SB 520, the Housing Element analyzes potential and actual government constraints specifically on development of housing for persons with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is supported at the State and local level. The City follows State codes, which are more restrictive than Federal codes.
Discussion:
Consistent with the 2021-2029 Housing Element, Housing Program Schedule, the City is addressing the following policies that may act as barriers to the development of affordable housing.
Conservation of Existing Housing
Continue to enforce City building, fire, health, and zoning codes to remedy existing pockets of blight and deterioration to conserve and improve the condition of existing affordable housing stock in coordination with rehabilitation and other infrastructure improvement programs. The City will collaborate with the Housing Authority to target efforts in the rehabilitation assistance programs throughout the City, with a focus on ensuring equal access to the programs across all socioeconomic groups. The City will provide marketing materials in languages other than English, as needed. The City will create a program to prevent displacement and mitigate relocation impacts as a result of code enforcement activities. • Accessory Dwelling Units. - Continue the City’s policy that allows for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) within single-family residential neighborhoods by reducing lot coverage requirements and allowing for tandem parking when setback requirements are met. In addition, the zoning code will be amended to allow ADUs and Junior ADUS (JADUs) in all residential zones (R-1, R-2,
2024 Annual Action Plan Amendment 32
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
and R-3), in accordance with Assembly Bill (AB) 2299 and Senate Bill (SB) 1069. • Facilitate a Variety of Housing Types. – The City will continue to ensure that zoning standards and development requirements facilitate the construction of a diversity of housing types, including apartment complexes, group housing, and townhomes to meet the needs of all households and income levels.
• Infrastructure Provision and Financing. – Minimize infrastructure costs for residential development by identifying infrastructure needs and available sources of funding for infrastructure improvements.
• Density Bonus. – The City will codify the City’s density bonus ordinance in compliance with the state’s density bonus law (Government Code Section 65915, as revised) and will continue to offer specific incentives for the development of individual or group-care housing affordable to seniors and special-needs population through City-specific density bonuses, reduced parking requirements, and development fee reductions for projects in infill locations. • Partner with Housing Advocates. – Continue and expand, where feasible, partnerships with forprofit or nonprofit housing organizations, including the Regional Housing Authority, to provide affordable housing. Consider contracting with additional organizations to provide housing services and information for special-needs groups within the City. • Farmworker Housing. – Continue to work with Sutter County, the farm industry, and neighborhoods where housing projects are proposed to facilitate the provision of farmworker housing. Assist in meeting the housing needs of farmworkers in and around Yuba City. • Facilitate Construction of Special-Needs Housing. – The City will remove barriers for specialneeds groups by amending the zoning code to address the following:
▪ Transitional and Supportive Housing
▪ Reasonable Accommodation
▪ Employee Housing
▪ Single-Room Occupancy Units
▪ Low-Barrier Navigation Centers

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
This section addresses the City’s planned actions during the 2024 Program Year, (2024 PY), to carry out strategies covered in the Consolidated Plan including, fostering and maintaining affordable housing, evaluation and reduction of lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of families within the poverty level and develop the institutional structure and enhancing coordination between public and private agencies that serve low-income and special needs populations.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The greatest obstacle to meeting underserved needs in the City is the lack of funding. During the 2024 PY and the duration of the 2020 Con Plan period the City will continue its efforts to identify funding sources, support funding applications by developers and service providers that expand the availability of affordable housing and support applications for homeless assistance and supportive service funds. The City will also implement zoning and land use policies that encourage the development of affordable housing. The City will continue to participate and encourage partnerships between local agencies and organizations so underserved needs may be better met by collaborative use of resources. Additionally, the applications received by the City often do not address some of the greater issues such as acquisition or development of new affordable housing units and economic development activities.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City will continue to offer and/or provide funding for a range of affordable housing activities including single-family Housing Rehabilitation, multi-family housing rehabilitation and First-time Homebuyer Programs. The City will work in partnership with private developers, local non-profit agencies and the Regional Housing Authority to develop and preserve affordable housing units.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City will continue to implement HUD’s lead-based paint regulations that became effective in September 2000. Efforts by the City to reduce lead-based paint hazards include the disclosure to homeowners of possible lead hazards, sponsoring certification training for contractors, implementation of lead risk assessment and clearance testing procedures and supervision of lead-related work performed. In addition, the City will continue to adhere to its Housing Rehabilitation Program guidelines that were amended to stipulate the type and amount of assistance provided and define costs covered under the City’s lead reduction program.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City will continue its efforts to increase the availability of affordable housing opportunities and assist homeless individuals or those who may be at risk of homelessness. In addition, the City will implement land use policies that seek to balance the creation of jobs and housing and ensure a variety
2024 Annual Action Plan Amendment 34
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
of employment opportunities requiring varying levels of skills and training.
The City will continue its efforts to develop and maintain cooperative relationships with public and private organizations that share a common mission for improving the quality of life for individuals through housing, social services, employment and skills training and economic development.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City's Development Services Department is the City Department responsible for the administration of the City’s Housing Programs, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
The Development Services Department also oversees the City’s Community Development activities. As an entitlement jurisdiction, the City receives an annual CDBG allocation through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Both internal City Departments and external Sub-Recipient agencies implement the programs and projects identified in the 2024 Annual Action Plan Amendment.
The Development Services Department will continue to collaborate with other City Departments, the City Council, City Commissions, as well as local agencies and organizations and residents to develop programs and activities that serve low and moderate-income individuals and families within the jurisdiction.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to meet with and maintain a dialogue with non-profit agencies and organizations that serve low and moderate-income persons. The City will work to enhance and improve the organizational capacity and foster a collective planning process.
The City will continue to work closely with the Regional Housing Authority and Habitat for Humanity to develop, preserve and improve the supply of affordable housing in the City.
Discussion:
Although there are coordinated programs and services to address the needs of lower income households and the homeless, it is recognized that many unmet needs will remain.
