Introduction The 2019-2020 Action Plan is the fifth of five annual plans implementing the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals for the investment of annual allocations of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Action Plan identifies available resources, annual goals, projects and activities for the period beginning July 1, 2019 and ending June 30, 2020. The City of Newport Beach (City) receives CDBG funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, awards grants to nonprofit, for-profit or public organizations for programs and projects in furtherance of the Strategic Plan. The CDBG program generally provides for a range of eligible activities which benefit low- and moderate -income Newport Beach residents, as discussed below. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created the CDBG Program with three primary objectives against which HUD evaluates the Consolidated Plan and the City's performance under the Plan. Those primary objectives are decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate -income persons. The CDBG regulations require that each activity meet one of the following national objectives: • Benefit low- and moderate -income persons; • Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or • Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency (usually the result of a natural disaster). For the 2019-2020 program year, the City estimates it will receive $358,444 of CDBG funds from HUD. In the event that the actual amount of CDBG funding received from HUD is higher or lower than anticipated, the City will adjust the funding amounts for each activity proportionally and in compliance with regulatory requirements for funding allocations to certain types of CDBG activities. Table 1 provides the amount of CDBG funds available for the 2019-2020 program year.

Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan HUD's Community Planning and Development (CPD) Outcome Performance Measurement Framework classifies objectives in three categories: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunity. The 2015-2019 Strategic Plan includes five high priority needs to be addressed through the implementation of activities aligned with five Strategic Plan Goals. The five high priority needs include: (1) Ensure equal access to housing opportunities (2) Provide public services for low-income residents (3) Provide public services for residents with special needs (4) Prevent and eliminate homelessness (5) Improve public facilities and infrastructure DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/18) The following five goals are identified in the Strategic Plan: (1) Fair Housing Services (2) Public Services (3) Special Needs Services (4) Homelessness Prevention Services (5) Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements Table 2 - Strategic Plan Summary DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 4 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/18) Need(s) 5 -Year 2019-2020 Goal Name Category Outcome Outcome Addressed Indicator Indicator 1.

Evaluation of past performance The City is currently implementing the activities included in the 2018-2019 Action Plan. As of this writing, all activities are underway. The investment of HUD resources during the 2017-2018 program year was a catalyst for positive change in the community. Together with other federal, state and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City and its partners to accomplish the following goals: • Provide Fair Housing services to 102 residents; • Provide Public Services to 130 residents; • Provide Homelessness Prevention and Assistance to 177 residents; and • Make the scheduled debt service payments on the City's Section 108 Loan. 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process 2015-2019 Citizen Participation Plan Subsequent to the enactment of the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009, HUD revised the Consolidated Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91 to emphasize the importance of citizen participation and consultation in the development of the Consolidated Plan. HUD strengthened the consultation process with requirements for consultation with the Continuum of Care of Orange County (CoC), Public Housing Authorities (PHA), business leaders, civic leaders and public or private agencies that address housing, health, social service, victim services, employment, or education needs of low-income individuals and families, homeless individuals and families, youth and/or other persons with special needs. Together with the analytic capabilities of the eCon Plan Suite, these requirements created the conditions necessary to implement a collaborative, data -driven and place -based planning process that includes a robust level of citizen participation and consultation. The City adopted its current Citizen Participation Plan on May 12, 2015 that reflects regulatory changes and process improvements. In accordance with the City's adopted Citizen Participation Plan, the City facilitated citizen participation through surveys, community meetings and public hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low- and moderate -income persons, particularly those living in areas and in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate -income neighborhoods. The consultation process included representatives of the CoC, PHA, and other specified groups who completed surveys, provided local data and assisted the City to ensure practical coordination of strategies to maximize impact and to avoid duplication of effort.

Introduction As a component of the Consolidated Plan process, the City of Newport Beach consulted with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, creation of job opportunities for low- and moderate -income residents, and/or provision of services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following methods: • Stakeholder surveys (web -based and paper -surveys) • Individual stakeholder consultations • Community meetings • Public hearings • Receipt of written comments The input gathered from these consultation partners helped establish and inform the objectives and goals described in the current Strategic Plan. Specific comments received from consultation partners are included in the Attachments section of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. In the development of the 2019-2020 Action Plan, the City provided each agency with an opportunity to comment on the draft Action Plan during the public review and comment period. 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(1)). The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of the CDBG program. As a result, during the development of this Consolidated Plan, the City consulted closely with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community -focused programs. Outreach efforts included surveys including specific questions associated with coordination, invitations to community meetings and follow-up in-person interviews where appropriate. The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the upcoming five-year planning period with these organizations and agencies. The City will continue strengthening relationships and alignment among these organizations. DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 9 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/18) 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 Continuum of Care (CoC) for Orange County guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. Orange County's homeless system of care is comprised of a network of public, private, faith -based, for- profit, and nonprofit service providers who utilize several federal, state and local resources to provide services for homeless people. The region's municipalities, including the City of Newport Beach, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. The County's nonprofit community plays a key role in the Continuum of Care system. Hundreds of agencies throughout the County provide programs ranging from feeding the homeless on the street to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are available to homeless families with children, and single men and women. The County's nonprofit community also serves special needs populations, such as victims of domestic violence, veterans, the disabled and youth. The CoC guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. The City provided a detailed questionnaire to the CoC to identify the CoC's perceived needs in the county and its objectives to address the needs of different homeless populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth and persons at risk of homelessness. Following the delivery and response to this questionnaire, the City followed up with the CoC to clarify existing needs and objectives and understand opportunities for collaboration and coordination during the five-year planning process. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS In the development of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City of Newport Beach consulted with 25 housing, social service and other entities involved in housing, community and economic development in Newport Beach and how CDBG funds and other resources should be invested to provide decent affordable housing, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities for low- and moderate -income residents. The Orange County Continuum of Care was consulted directly by telephone and e-mail to discuss performance standards, outcomes, and policies and procedures for HMIS. DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 10 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/18) The Orange County CoC established a collaborative implementation and management with the three CoCs located in Los Angeles County (City of Pasadena, City of Glendale, and Los Angeles County). The Collaborative developed and maintains a Policies and Procedures guide for the use of the HMIS system. Additionally, HMIS system administrators provide training as needed to HMIS users and provide troubleshooting assistance on an "as needed" basis.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting The City established and followed a process for the development of the five-year Consolidated Plan that included broad participation from the community. To assist in the identification of priority needs in the City, the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey was prepared and distributed to residents of the City to solicit resident input in the prioritization of needs related to community services, community facilities, infrastructure, neighborhood services, special needs services, businesses and jobs, and housing. The surveys were available online and also were made available at various public facilities. A community meeting to discuss the housing and community development needs in the community was held on February 26, 2015. The public hearing took place on May 12, 2015 to receive comments on the draft 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low- and moderate -income residents, members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved. In the preparation of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City followed the process established for citizen participation set forth in the Citizen Participation Plan. To promote greater public accessibility to program documents, the Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated Plan, Action Plans, CAPERS and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice are posted on the City website at: https://www.newportbeachca.gov/index.aspx?page=1871 In the preparation of the 2019-2020 Action Plan, the City made the draft Action Plan available for public review and comment from March 22, 2019 to April 23, 2019.

The City estimates it will receive $358,444 of CDBG funds from HUD. The actual resources available to support activities during the implementation of the remainder of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan may vary significantly due to factors outside of the City's control. For example, HUD formula grant allocations are subject to change each year based on a number of factors such as the amount of the national appropriation, changes in ACS population data applied to the CPD grant formulas, statutory changes to the CPD grant formulas, the addition or removal of entitlements receiving a particular CPD grant and the availability of reallocated funds. Additionally, state, local and private resources will vary significantly depending on economic conditions.

Depending on the financing structure of a given activity, the City may use CDBG funds to leverage appropriate state, local and private resources, including but not limited to those listed below. State Resources • State Low -Income Housing Tax Credit Program • Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN) • CalHome Program • Multifamily Housing Program (MHP) • Housing Related Parks Grant • CaIHFA Single and Multi -Family Program • Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding Local Resources • Orange County Housing & Finance Agency (OCHFA) Funding • Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA) Funding • Orange County Continuum of Care Program • Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) Programs Private Resources • Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP) • Community Reinvestment Act Programs • United Way Funding • Private Contributions Matching Requirements The City of Newport Beach does not receive HOME funds as part of its entitlement allocation.

The City does not anticipate receiving any new program income funds during the remainder of the five-year period, based on past and current projects and activities.

All CDBG funds will be directed toward activities benefitting low- and moderate -income residents citywide. The only exception to this approach would be for CDBG projects that are qualified on a low- and moderate -income area basis where a specific proportion of the residents within the service area must be low- and moderate -income residents, such as the new community public facility and community infrastructure. Geographic Distribution Table 12 - Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Citywide 100% Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically For the 2019-2020 program year, the City's investments in Fair Housing Services, Public Services, and Homelessness Prevention Services are based on a citywide geography because individuals in need of these services may live anywhere within the jurisdiction—particularly services for seniors with needed assistance and people that are homeless or at -risk of becoming homeless. Discussion Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non -administrative CDBG funds for program year 2019-2020 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate - income people. DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 47 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) AP -55 Affordable Housing — 91.220(g) Introduction As stated in the Consolidated Plan, the City of Newport Beach will continue its efforts to leverage other funding sources such as the Affordable Housing Trust Fund to address the local housing needs identified below. Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing Based on evaluation of 2007-2011 American Community Survey (ACS) and Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, there is a need for additional rental housing units affordable for households earning less than 50 percent of AMI. Of the households earning 0-80 percent of AMI, 7,790 are cost burdened households — meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Additionally, 5,805 of the cost burdened households are considered severely cost burdened households — meaning that they pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Of the 5,805 severely cost burdened households, 3,580 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 2,945 households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless. The City will continue to use its Affordable Housing Trust Fund and other available options under the State Density Bonus law to create additional affordable housing. In February 2013, the City approved the Uptown Newport Planned Community consisting of 1,244 units that included the requirement to construct affordable housing pursuant to State Density Bonus Law. In April 2017, the City issued building permit for the first 462 units that include 92 units for very -low income households. The project construction will take approximately 2 years, with the first phase expected to open in third-quarter 2019. The California Statewide Community Development Authority (CSCDA) has issued $161,620,000 in tax-exempt and taxable multifamily affordable housing bonds that will ensure the affordability for 55 years. Preserve the Supply of Affordable Housing As the City's housing stock ages, a growing percentage of housing units may need rehabilitation to allow them to remain safe and habitable. The situation is of particular concern for low- and moderate -income homeowners who are generally not in a financial position to properly maintain their homes. The age and condition of Newport Beach's housing stock is an important indicator of potential rehabilitation needs. Commonly, housing over 15 years of age will exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating / air-conditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing fixtures. Housing over 30 years of age will typically require some form of major DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 48 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work and plumbing systems. According to CHAS data showing the year that housing units were built categorized by owner and renter tenure: • 5,363 or 26 percent of the 20,950 owner -occupied housing units built between 15 and 34 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999). • 12,619 or 60 percent of the 20,950 owner -occupied housing units in Newport Beach were built 34 or more years ago (built prior to 1980). • 3,934 or 23 percent of the 17,098 renter -occupied housing units in Newport Beach were built between 15 and 34 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999). • 11,655 or 68 percent of the 17,098 renter -occupied housing units in Newport Beach were built 34 or more years ago (built prior to 1980). Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low - and moderate -income households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate -income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities ensures that all economic segments of the community have the opportunity to live in decent housing that meets local standards.

The Cove Apartments was fully occupied as of March 2018 and will continue to be rented affordably for a period of 55 years, with priority for occupancy directed toward low- income seniors and veterans. To preserve affordable housing, the City awarded $800,000 of Affordable Housing Trust Funds to Seaview Lutheran Plaza for the rehabilitation of 100 existing apartments for senior citizens, extending the project's affordability period an additional 30 years. On July 26, 2016, the City and Seaview Lutheran entered into an affordable housing grant agreement for the first $800,000 of the award for upgrades to existing bathrooms. The design and permits were approved in late 2016, and by the end of 2017, 60 of the 100 units were complete, with the balance of units completed in March 2018. As a result of this award, the affordability requirements will remain in place through 2069. To preserve housing that is affordable to current owner -occupants, the City created a Senior Housing Assistance Repair Program (SHARP) in 2016, operated in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Orange County (Habitat OC). Initial program funding of up to $600,000 was granted by the City Council from the City's Affordable Housing Trust Fund. This two-year program to perform critical home repairs for lower-income seniors was extended for an additional two years so that assistance will be available into 2020. To date, nine projects have been approved and five applications were denied. Of the nine total projects, eight have been completed at a total cost of $206,596. As of this writing, one application is under contract for rehabilitation and additional projects are in the application phase. The scope of work for SHARP projects generally includes some combination of the following repairs: roofing, painting, plumbing, electrical, structural/accessibility (repairing and modifying hazardous steps and landings), landscaping (when in violation of City codes), installation of smoke detectors and addressing "hoarding" conditions. It is anticipated that the City (OASIS Senior Center) and Habitat OC will complete three additional projects in the coming program year. The City of Newport Beach is registered as a Qualified Preservation Entity with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). When notification is received of the expiration of a prior affordable housing agreement—whether monitored by the City or as part of a different affordable housing program not sponsored by the City—staff evaluates the potential use of local Affordable Housing Trust funds to preserve the affordable units, subject to funding availability. DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 50 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) AP -60 Public Housing— 91.220(h) Introduction The Newport Beach Housing Authority does not administer Section 8 and does not own HUD Public Housing. Newport Beach is within the service area of the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) for the purposes of Section 8 and Public Housing. As of January 2019, OCHA administered a total of 11,181 housing vouchers throughout the County. The 162 housing vouchers in use in the City of Newport Beach include: • 19 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers; • 19 Vouchers transferred in from other areas; • 1 Non -elderly Disabled Voucher; • 4 Continuum of Care Program Permanent Supportive Housing Certificates; • 2 Family Self -Sufficiency Vouchers; • 4 Family Unification Program vouchers; and • 113 Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8). OCHA monitors all units to ensure they are in adequate condition, meeting the Section 8 Housing Quality Standards (HQS). Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing OCHA's stated goals include: • Apply for additional housing assistance funding and programs that may become available. • Explore the use of Project -Based Housing Choice Vouchers or other housing funds to promote the construction or acquisition activities that will result in additional units or developments that will serve special needs populations. • Ensure consistent quality of assisted housing services by maintaining high performer status in Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) scores. • Promote Family Self -Sufficiency incentives and homeownership opportunities for Housing Choice Voucher participants in partnership with local programs and related service providers. • Expand assisted housing choices by conducting outreach efforts to increase the number of property owners and their participation in housing assistance programs. • Identify and utilize technology to enhance operational effectiveness and efficiency in delivery of housing assistance services. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 51 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) participate in homeownership OCHA supports resident councils and actively seeks input from PHA residents on the management and implementation of OCHA policies and procedures. Housing prices in Orange County are so high that homeownership opportunities are limited for OCHA residents. On a limited basis, OCHA has partnered with Habitat for Humanity to provide two affordable homeownership units, but these types of efforts are limited. OCHA also manages a Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership Program that it markets to all OCHA program tenants. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance Not applicable. OCHA is designated as a High Performing PHA. Discussion Newport Beach continues to support OCHA in effective administration of its limited affordable housing resources. The City also continues to work with OCHA to include the residents with Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in the federally -funded programs administered by the City, including any homeownership programs. DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 52 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i) Introduction The City will invest CDBG funds during the 2019-2020 program year to address high priority needs identified in the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan including preventing homelessness and providing public services to homeless populations. Homelessness Prevention Services According to the most recent bi-annual Point -In -Time Homeless Count (PIT Count) data available from the PIT Count held on January 28, 2017, on any given night in Orange County, approximately 4,792 people are homeless. To address incidences of homelessness that may occur in Newport Beach and to prevent extremely low-income families from becoming homeless, the City places a high priority on programs that work to prevent homelessness or rapidly assist homeless individuals living in the community. To address this need, the City will support CDBG public service activities that help prevent homelessness and that provide a structured path to stable housing for individuals and families who become homeless. Services for Residents with Special Needs Analysis of available data and consultation with organizations providing services for special needs populations revealed a high need for a range of additional services including, but not limited to, those concerned with domestic violence, human trafficking, mental disabilities, physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, substance abuse/alcoholism and HIV/AIDS. To address the needs of those residents addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, the City is providing CDBG funds to the following activity: • Second Chance Orange County: More Second Chances for Those in Recovery (5 people) 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 To reach out to unsheltered homeless persons and assess their individual needs for the purpose of connecting them with available emergency shelter and transitional housing resources, the City of Newport Beach, through its Planning Division will provide information and referrals — primarily to 2-1-1 Orange County. Additionally, to reduce and end homelessness, the City of Newport Beach will provide CDBG public service funds to the following activity: • Families Forward: Housing Program (215 people) DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 53 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons To address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons, the City supports the Families Forward Housing Program that provides transitional housing, counseling and case management to families at risk of homelessness. Each year, Families Forward serves approximately 215 unduplicated people with an array of services beyond housing, including career services, childcare and a food pantry. Families Forward continues to grow its partnerships with affordable housing developers throughout Orange County, securing access to affordable housing units while providing the supportive case management services necessary to ensure a long-term stable housing outcome for its clients. Other organizations in the Continuum of Care (CoQ addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons include Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter, Orange County Rescue Mission and WISE Place. 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 To address the needs of homeless families, families with children, veterans and their families, the City supports the Families Forward Housing Program, which provides transitional housing, counseling and case management to families at risk of homelessness. Each year, Families Forward serves approximately 215 unduplicated people through its transitional housing program. When paired with financial counseling, career coaching and other available case management services, Families Forward makes certain that families are ready to succeed in their transition to permanent housing. 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 Orange County CoC Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness included a goal to establish countywide protocols and procedures to prevent people from being discharged from public and private institutions of care into homelessness that will help decrease the number of persons DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 54 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) being discharged into homelessness. The CoC is seeking improve coordination among publicly and privately funded institutions of care and local service agencies in the County of Orange in order to decrease the number of persons being discharged into homelessness annually. Discussion The City of Newport Beach considers addressing homelessness a high priority need for the CDBG program and will support public service activities that help prevent homelessness and that provide a structured path to stable housing for individuals and families who become homeless. DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 55 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) AP -75 Barriers to Affordable Housing — 91.220(j) Introduction: A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful. Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the 2014-2021 Housing Element and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in Newport Beach are housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply and insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand. For low- and moderate -income households, finding and maintaining decent affordable housing is difficult due to the high cost of housing in Newport Beach and throughout the region in general. Over 20 percent of the City's 38,048 households experience a cost burden or severe cost burden, meaning that they pay more than 30 or 50 percent of their income for housing, respectively. Consistent with available data, responses to the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey indicate a high need for additional affordable housing in Newport Beach. 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 In the development of the 2014-2021 Housing Element, the City evaluated significant public policies affecting affordable housing development such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges and growth limitations. Based on this evaluation, the City determined that it has taken all appropriate and necessary steps to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may have been a barrier to affordable housing. Moreover, the City will continue to use its Affordable Housing Trust Fund to fund future affordable housing projects.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate -income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, and the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low-income people. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG funds through the 2019-2020 Action Plan in projects that provide assistance to those with special needs, projects that prevent homelessness for low- and moderate -income residents. To address underserved needs, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non -administrative CDBG investments for program year 2019-2020 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate -income people or people presumed under HUD regulations to be low- and moderate - income. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing To expand the supply of affordable housing, the City awarded $1,975,000 of Affordable Housing Trust Funds to Newport Veterans Housing, LP to acquire and rehabilitate 12 former market rate rental units. The Cove Apartments was fully occupied as of March 2018 and will continue to be rented affordably for a period of 55 years, with priority for occupancy directed toward low- income seniors and veterans.

To preserve housing that is affordable to current owner -occupants, the City created a Senior Housing Assistance Repair Program (SHARP) in 2016, operated in partnership with Habitat for DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 58 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Humanity Orange County (Habitat OC). Initial program funding of up to $600,000 was granted by the City Council from the City's Affordable Housing Trust Fund. This two-year program to perform critical home repairs for lower-income seniors was extended for an additional two years so that assistance will be available into 2020.

As of this writing, one application is under contract for rehabilitation and additional projects are in the application phase. The scope of work for SHARP projects generally includes some combination of the following repairs: roofing, painting, plumbing, electrical, structural/accessibility (repairing and modifying hazardous steps and landings), landscaping (when in violation of City codes), installation of smoke detectors and addressing "hoarding" conditions. It is anticipated that the City (OASIS Senior Center) and Habitat OC will complete three additional projects in the coming program year. The City of Newport Beach is registered as a Qualified Preservation Entity with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). When notification is received of the expiration of a prior affordable housing agreement—whether monitored by the City or as part of a different affordable housing program not sponsored by the City—staff evaluates the potential use of local Affordable Housing Trust funds to preserve the affordable units, subject to funding availability. The City also continues to consider Density Bonuses and other incentives on a project -by -project basis to encourage the construction of housing for persons and families of very low, low, and moderate income. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards In the implementation of any future Residential Rehabilitation Programs, the City will disseminate brochures provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to all applicants as part of the transmittal of the program application. Any unit receiving assistance through the program that was built prior to January 1, 1978 will be tested for lead-based paint. If lead-based paint is present, appropriate abatement procedures are implemented as part of the rehabilitation contract consistent with the requirements of 24 CFR Part 35. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals established in the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan -Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty -level families by: • Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 59 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) moderate -income households, including investment of the City's Housing Trust Fund resources and using the State Density Bonus law to incentivize the development of additional affordable housing units; • Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness; • Supporting housing preservation programs that ensure low income households have a safe, decent and appropriate place to live; • Supporting public services through various nonprofits funded by CDBG that serve the community's youth, seniors, families and those with special needs; and • Promoting economic opportunity for all residents working for employers doing business with the City of Newport Beach through the Commercial Fa4ade Improvement Program. In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start provide a pathway out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally, in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKs, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi -Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence and mental illness. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The institutional delivery system in Newport Beach is high -functioning and collaborative — particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable community-based organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. Affordable housing development and preservation activities will be carried out by the Planning Division of the Community Development Department in partnership with other agencies. Public service activities will be carried out by nonprofit organizations to achieve the Strategic Plan goals. The Planning Division and the Public Works Department will work together with contractors to implement public facility improvement projects. One of the key ways the City is developing and expanding institutional structure to meet underserved needs is by funding a wide variety of services targeted to seniors, special needs populations and individuals or families at risk of homelessness with CDBG public service grants. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 60 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will continue consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low- and moderate - income residents in Newport Beach.
