FY 2001 -2002 Community Development Block Grant One -
Year Action Plan
As part of the annual Community Development Block Grant
application process, the City must prepare and submit a One -Year
Action Plan that details how the grant funds will be allocated for
the upcoming fiscal year.
1. Conduct public hearing.
2. Approve the Action Plan, including the budget for the
CDBG program, for submittal to FEUD.
Purpose of the Action Plan
The Action Plan represents the City of Newport Beach's official application to HUD for
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds. The Action Plan describes the
activities to be implemented during the coming fiscal year. It also provides a
participatory process through which our citizens are given an opportunity to determine,
give input, and be informed about the projected use of funds. More importantly, it is the
tool which verifies and assists in the implementation of the goals and strategies outlined
in the Five -Year Consolidated Plan to meet our City's housing and community
development needs.
Citizen Participation
On March 13, 2001, the City Council initiated a public review to solicit input from the
community and to review the various projects proposed for the 2001 -2002 CDBG
program. The City Council also approved funding recommendations for social service
agencies.
A draft version of the Action Plan was subsequently developed and was released for a 30-
day public review and comment period beginning on April 9, 2001. On May 8, 2001, the
Newport Beach City Council will conduct a public hearing to receive comments on the
draft Action Plan, and to make funding decisions on the proposed activities. The City
Council's funding decisions will be incorporated into the final Action Plan to be
submitted to HUD no later than May 17, 2001 for approval. All comments received on
the draft Action Plan will be summarized and included in the final Action Plan.
Summary

ACTION PLAN: ONE -YEAR USE OF FUNDS
The Action Plan outlines the planned use of Community Development Block Grant funds
in Newport Beach for Fiscal Year (FY) 2001/2002. The Plan describes the resources
available for program implementation-, activities to be undertaken during FY 2001/2002;
a monitoring plan; the City's homelessness and anti - poverty strategy; actions to further
fair housing choice; and coordination efforts to implement the Action Plan.
Housing and Community Development Resources
The City of Newport Beach has access to a variety of federal, state and,local resources to
address its housing and community development priorities. Specific funding sources will
be utilized based on the opportunities and constraints of each particular project or
program. The City's goal is to leverage federal, state, and local funds to maximize the
number of households that can be assisted.
Federal Programs
A significant funding source for the City for housing and economic development
activities in blighted and low and moderate income areas is the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program. Through this program, grants are awarded to the City
from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on a formula basis
for housing and community development activities. For Program Year 2001/02, Newport
Beach has been allocated $518,000 in CDBG funds.
The City also participates in the HUD Section 8 Rental Certificates and Voucher Program
administered by the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA). This program provides
rental assistance payments to private owners who lease their units to eligible very -low
income families. As of March 2001, the City had 94 households receiving Section 8
rental certificates and vouchers.
Local Programs
The City uses a variety of programs to address both the economic and housing needs of
residents. Programs such as density bonuses, waiver of planning and development fees,
and relaxation of development standards are made available to developers of affordable
housing. These supplemental City programs enable the City and developers to leverage
private and commercial sources of capital with public housing funds. The City will
continue its policy to waive or reduce requirements and offer density bonuses as an
incentive to produce low cost housing.
Furthermore, the City has recently received $2,020,000 for the provision of affordable
housing in Newport Beach as a result of the development at the Ford/Loral site. The City
is currently analyzing housing rehabilitation and new affordable housing opportunities in
City of Newport Beach U
FY 2001 -2002 Action Plan Page 7
order to achieve the greatest benefit with these funds. In March 2000, the City Council
established an Affordable Housing Task Force to determine the best use of these and
other City resources for affordable housing in Newport Beach.
Economic development is also a key focus for the City. Several funding sources will be
used to assist the economic stimulation efforts on the Balboa Peninsula. These City
financial resources include off- street parking funds and established neighborhood
enhancement funds. The City has also formed the Balboa Village Business Improvement
District to promote economic activities and provide improvements for the area. The
formation of the district enables businesses to generate assessment funds, combined with
Business Improvement District matching funds, invest in collective economic
development activities.
Non - Profit Resources
Non - profit organizations receive funds from several different sources for the provision of
social services to community residents. These include tax deductible contributions,
grants, and nominal user fees for their on -going affordable housing and supportive
services. For construction activities, non - profit organizations receive funding from other
public and private sources such as tax credits and grants.

Relation to Strategic Plan Priorities
The City's 2000 -2004 Consolidated Plan identifies priority housing and community
development activities to be pursued in order to provide decent and affordable housing,
as well as needed community services and facilities for its residents. The City will focus
its resources and efforts on several programs during FY 2001/2002 as described in the
listing of Proposed Projects. As a means of showing the relationship of these activities
with priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan, Housing and Community
Development Strategy, the following summarizes the priority needs and identifies those
2001/2002 CDBG activities that address the needs. Discussions of other non -CDBG
funded housing - related activities are also included to provide a complete picture of the
City's efforts.
PRIORITY: BALBOA PENINSULA PUBLIC FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS
Five -Year Objectives:
♦ To improve public facilities in order to stimulate economic revitalization in areas
of low and moderate income residents.
♦ To prevent blighting influences and the deterioration of property.
♦ To eliminate conditions which are detrimental to health, safety and public welfare
through the rehabilitation of neighborhood and community facilities.
Supporting Rationale: Through the use of extensive community outreach including
public meetings, homeowner association meetings, business group meetings and other
meetings, the City has developed and approved the Balboa Village Pedestrian and
Streetscape Improvement Plan. The City is planning to leverage public facility CDBG
funds with City off - street parking funds and City neighborhood enhancement funds to
stimulate economic renewal in the area.
Proposed FY 2001/2002 Activities:
1. Capital Improvements
The public facility improvements for the Balboa Village Pedestrian and Streetscape
Improvement Plan will be implemented over the five -year Consolidated Plan period.
CDBG funds will be used to develop construction drawings, provide for pre -
construction costs, and fund a fagade improvement program. Funds for the FY
2001/02 year will be used for Phase One construction, which includes improvements
and street widening to Balboa Boulevard, Pier Parking Lot, Pier Plaza, and the Lot A
connecting access to Main Street.
Proposed Funding: $311,700 - FY 2001/02 CDBG
- Proposed Accomplishments: Phase One Construction Activities

2. Code Enforcement
In addition to public facility improvements, the Balboa Village Pedestrian and
Streetscape Improvement Plan identifies the need for code enforcement activities for
the area. CDBG funds in conjunction with other City resources will be used to
continue a code enforcement position to specifically address issues in the Balboa
Village area.
Proposed Funding: $ 25,000 - FY 2001/02 CDBG
Proposed Accomplishments: One -half of a code enforcement position
PRIORITY: HOMELESS AND SPECIAL NEEDS PERSONS
Five -Year Objectives:
♦ To preserve the availability of housing for persons and families in need of
emergency shelter and transitional housing.
♦ To assist homeless persons and to prevent those "at risk" from becoming
homeless.
♦ To assist battered and homeless women and children.
♦ To provide social service funds which benefit low and moderate income persons
within the community.
Supporting Rationale: The existing Newport Beach Housing Element includes a
program (Program No. 12) that identifies assistance to persons and families in need of
emergency shelter and transitional housing as a top priority. While no emergency shelter
or transitional housing is located in the City at this time, the City assists agencies that
have the capacity to identify and assist the homeless population.
— i Proposed FY 2001/2002 Activities:
1. Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter (OCIS)
The Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter (OCIS), the oldest and largest shelter in the
County, provides temporary and emergency housing along with 24 -hour staff
assistance for homeless individuals and families. The agency also aims to help
homeless persons and families become self - supporting members of the community.
This is achieved through a variety of supportive services such' &, counseling,
employment assistance, guidance, parent education, transportation assistance and
medical and mental health care referrals. Funds will be used to help cover a portion
of the administrative costs of a shelter administrative staff support position.
Proposed Funding: $10,000 - FY 2001/02 CDBG
Proposed Accomplishments: Assist 25 homeless persons

2. WISE Place
WISE Place provides temporary shelter and assistance to homeless women and
— children including battered, senior, and disabled women. The agency provides
emergency and transitional housing, as well as supportive services such as food,
clothing, counseling, life skills training, and employment assistance. Besides
providing shelter, WISE Place administers the "Steps to Independence" and "Senior
Step" programs that aim to provide homeless women with the necessary tools to
become self - sufficient, independent members of the community.
Proposed Funding: $4,000 - FY 2001/02 CDBG
Proposed Accomplishments: Provide temporary shelter for 2 residents
3. FISH- HARBOR -AREA, Inc. — Homeless Prevention
FISH is a Newport Beach based local service agency that assists `at -risk' households
and individuals facing evictions and prevents them from becoming homeless. The
agency's Homeless Prevention and Support Services Program provides rent subsides,
utility assistance, food and case management.
Proposed Funding: $17,700 - FY 2001/02 CDBG
Proposed Accomplishments: Assist 135 residents `at risk' of becoming
homeless
4. SPIN (Serving People in Need)

income, homeless, and at -risk families and individuals. SPIN's Substance Abuse
Rehabilitation Program (SARP) offers rehabilitation and recovery assistance for low
income and homeless individuals while providing supportive services to enable
clients to remain drug free and self - sufficient. SARP provides room and board in
recovery homes located throughout Orange County for up to one month coupled with
a variety of supportive and job training services. Funds will be used for room and
board in a recovery home and case management.
Proposed Funding: $10,000 - FY 2001/02 CDBG
Proposed Accomplishments: Assist 13 low- income and homeless individuals

PRIORITY: LOW INCOME ELDERLY
Five -Year Objectives:
♦ To provide assistance to the elderly.
♦ To fund social service agencies that provide meals to frail elderly and needy
_ homebound persons and families.
Supporting Rationale: Over the past 40 years, the elderly population in Newport Beach
has grown steadily and this trend is expected to continue. In 1990, 15.5% of the City
population was 65 years of age or older. As residents age, many become "frail" and
homebound. Programs that help elderly persons meet their everyday needs enable these
residents to remain independent and continue to live in the community.
Proposed FY 2001/2002 Activities:
1. FISH - HARBOR -AREA, Inc. — Mobile Meals Service
FISH is a Newport Beach based local service agency that operates the Mobile Meals
program. This program provides meal deliveries to low- income elderly and disabled
shut -ins.
Proposed Funding: $20,000 - FY 2001/02 CDBG
Proposed Accomplishments: Provide meals for 120 low - income elderly and
disabled residents.
2. South County Senior Services
South County Senior Services is an Orange County -based social service agency that
assists low- income seniors and disabled persons. Through the Oasis Senior Center, the
agency provides three nutritious home - delivered meals per day to elderly and disabled
Newport Beach residents who are unable to leave their homes. Funds will be used for
food and delivery costs.
Proposed Funding: $16,000 - FY 2001/02 CDBG
Proposed Accomplishments: Provide meals for 150 elderly and disabled
homebound residents.

Affordable Housing
As stated in the Newport Beach Housing Element, the City's goal is to preserve and
increase housing affordability. This can be achieved through the construction of rental
housing for the very -low and lower income persons and the provision of incentives and
direct assistance to the housing industry, within the limitations of available resources, to
facilitate the provision of housing for the lower and moderate income.
The following summarizes the City's objectives and actions for affordable housing:
♦ Complete construction of approximately 140 affordable housing units for low-
income senior citizens prior to the end of the 2004 -2005 fiscal year.
♦ Continue to assist approximately 90 households with Section 8 Certificates
through the Orange County Housing Authority. Continue to participate as a
member of the Orange County Housing Authority Cities Advisory Committee.
Use local housing funds to enable the construction of new housing units by
facilitating the development and construction of housing for lower and moderate
income household.
♦ Work with major landowners and developers of market rate housing to ensure that
housing for low and moderate income households is provided.
♦ Continue the use of density bonuses as an indirect source of subsidy providing
significant financial incentives to private developers.
Homelessness
Newport Beach follows a comprehensive strategy to address homelessness. This strategy
is comprised of activities to address the following three issues:
♦ Emergency and Transitional Housing
♦ Persons At Risk of Becoming Homeless
♦ Persons in Transition from Homelessness to Permanent Housing
While no emergency shelter or transitional housing is located in Newport Beach at this
time, the City assists agencies that have the capacity to identify and help the homeless
population. The City has been working with the Orange County Continuum of Care
Committee to identify and address the unmet needs of the homeless in Oranp County.
Newport Beach has allocated the maximum allowable amount of its CDBG funds for
public service programs (15 percent or $77,700) and has prioritized its public service
funding in the following manner for FY2001 /2002:
City of Newport Beach
2001 -2002 Action Plan Page 21
IS
Shelter Programs
33%
Senior & Disabled
33%
Substance Abuse Recovery
17%
— Rent and Utility Subsidies
17%
Of these public service funds, approximately 54 percent will be provided to address
homeless issues and provide related services. In addition to the public service funding,
the City has allocated approximately 14 percent of the administration funds for the Fair
Housing Council of Orange County. The Council provides housing advocacy and
counseling services to Newport Beach residents, which plays an important role in
assisting those tenants who may be at risk of becoming homeless due to eviction.
Actions to Further Fair Housing
Actions for Fair Housing Planning
The City is updating its Housing Element as required by state law. As part of this update,
the City will incorporate fair housing goals, policies, and programs into the Element to
affirm the City's position with regard to furthering fair housing choice.
Actions to Address Impediments
Newport Beach joined many jurisdictions in Orange County in the regional effort to
further fair housing. In 2000, the Fair Housing Council of Orange County completed the
update of the regional Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice. However,
Newport Beach was not included in that update effort. The City is currently working
with the Council to identify specific issues and actions necessary to remove impediments
that impede fair housing choice in the City. Once this analysis is completed, Newport
Beach will be included in the 2000 AI as an addendum. The current regional Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, which includes the City of Newport Beach,
identifies the following impediments and actions:
1. This area has established effective fair housing education, counseling, and
enforcement programs that have been supported for over 20 years by the jurisdictions
in the region. This example of private- public cooperation to affirmatively further fair
housing has evolved into a model for other areas and is recognized as one of the best
in the nation.
Action: Continue to operate and support fair housing services, including but not
limited to an array of detailed objectives as specified and updated annually in an
agreement with the Fair Housing Council of Orange County, at their necessary
level of effectiveness and responsiveness, and remain open to address issues
identified in the AI.
Milestone: Continue action throughout the Consolidated Plan period.
City of Newport Beach
2001 -2002 Action Plan Page 22
a1
2. Resources have not been utilized to maintain an on -going monitoring function of fair
housing advertising and lending practices. In the past, entitlement jurisdictions,
- through the Fair Housing Council, have only provided a "reactive" service following
the receipt of a complaint in these areas of concern, By "affirmatively monitoring' on
a daily basis, however, real estate advertising, lending information and Home
Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data could be analyzed as soon as it becomes
available.
Action: The jurisdiction or its fair housing service provider will develop a fair
housing affirmative monitoring function concerning lender practices and real
estate advertising and/or form a partnership with an educational institution to
carry out such a function.
Milestone: FHCOC will team up with the California Community Reinvestment
Corporation to monitor lending and real estate practices in Orange County.
3. Rather than being fully computerized, the usually more expensive use of labor -
intensive manual tabulating, service reporting, and tracking systems are in place.
These may be a constraint to the full potential of using available fair housing data.
Action: Technological improvements are to be made that will enable more
efficient reporting and tracking of fair housing violations in the jurisdiction and
this regional area.
Milestone: Accomplished computer programming in November 1996. The
FHCOC began tracking processes during FY 1997/98 and will continue through
FY 2001/2002.
4. While the fair housing community education and outreach efforts have been
commendable, the underlying housing- industry mailing lists need to be expanded to
enable even more wide- spread dissemination of fair housing information.
Action: The hundreds identified as members of the housing industry in the AI
must be added to the regular fair housing education and outreach mailing list.
Thereafter, commence distribution of education information to them on a routine
basis to the extent resources permit.
— Milestone: Continue to distribute and expand lists in FY 2001/2002.
5. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) has made a commendable
effort to analyze the transit needs of under -served populations and areas in the region,
but this analysis did not go far enough to determine if the OCTA has done everything
possible to evaluate the feasibility of linking transportation service from certain target
— communities to major employers.
City of Newport Beach
2001 -2002 Action Plan Page 23
a�
Action: Determine if the transit providers in this region can provide and/or
evaluate the possibility of providing services from certain communities to major
employment centers. If found appropriate, encourage OCTA to voluntarily do so
- as soon as possible.
Milestone: Began networking with OCTA about this subject during FY 1997/98.
— During FY 2001/2002, The Fair Housing Council will continue to identify
OCTA's organizational structure and its process for approving transportation
routes in the region and pursue expanded services by OCTA.
6. The entitlement jurisdictions that are part of the consortium have distinct but viable
independent policies and programs affecting housing development, and each
respective jurisdiction should continue with its responsibility of reVi.jewing its policies
and programs in relation to Al concerns and objectives. Furthermore, each respective
housing element should include policies related to fair housing goals and objectives.
Finally, jurisdictions should consider requiring potential recipients of locally
administered federally connected housing assistance funds, such as first -time home
buyer, rehabilitation assistance, or new construction, to comply with fair housing
laws.
Action: Continue with our responsibilities of reviewing internal policies and
programs in relation to AI concerns and objectives. Furthermore, each
jurisdiction's respective housing element should eventually include policies
related to fair housing goals and objectives. Participating jurisdictions will
eventually require that potential recipients of locally administered federal housing
assistance funds, such as first -time homebuyer, rehabilitation assistance, or new
construction, comply with fair housing laws. Continue to support the provision of
fair housing education information to staff within this jurisdiction.
Milestone: Accomplish by end of this Consolidated Plan period.
7. An inordinate percentage of loan request denials may have occurred in the past for
_ certain population groups. Even though it was beyond the scope of the AI to
determine why this was so, it was possible to conclude that those same population
groups may lack sufficient information about the home buying and home lending
process. Loan denial statistics in the region should be reviewed further.. Jurisdictions
or their fair housing service provider should explore the possibility of networking
with major realtor firms and/or lenders to provide home buyer and lending
educational programs for under -served populations and for those applicant groups
with higher loan denial rates.
Action: The jurisdiction or its fair housing service provider will explore the
possibility of networking with major realtor firms and/or lenders to provide
homebuyer and lending educational programs for underserved populations and for
-- those applicant groups with higher loan rejection rates.
City of Newport Beach
2001 -2002 Action Plan
Page 24
I
Milestone: Continue throughout the Consolidated Plan period.
8. The Al alleges that an inordinate number of hazard insurance companies may be
declining to write fire insurance policies for homes located in certain zip codes in the
region that have higher concentrations of fair housing protected class groups, or have
higher concentrations of housing for low -to- moderate income people. Even though it
was beyond the scope of this Al to determine why it was so alleged, it is
recommended that this matter be reviewed further by the jurisdictions or its fair
housing services provider and/or by some appropriate government authority.
Action: The Al alleges that an inordinate number of hazard insurance companies
may be declining to write fire insurance policies for homes located in certain zip
codes in the region which may have a higher concentration of fair housing
protected class groups, or may have a higher concentration of housing for low and
moderate income people. Therefore, this matter will be reviewed further by the
jurisdiction or its fair housing service provider and/or by appropriate public or
private entity who will then take any necessary corrective actions or measures.
Milestone: This action was completed. The FHCOC has reached settlements
with three major insurance companies to change their underwriting policies. No
further action is required.
Anti - Poverty Strategy
As funding permits, the City will continue to use its CDBG social service money to fund
- agencies that provide housing for the elderly, counseling programs for persons with drug
and alcohol addictions, and provide shelter for the homeless and abused women and
children. Particularly, the City will provide assistance to those with incomes below the
poverty line and those "at -risk" of becoming homeless.
The City will continue to participate in the Section 8 Rental Assistance program to
provide Section 8 Rental Assistance Certificates and Vouchers to very low income
households, especially those with incomes below the poverty level.
- Through its economic revitalization efforts, the City will continue to, create and retain
jobs for low and moderate income persons, enabling people be self - sufficient financially.
City of Newport Beach
2001 -2002 Action Plan

3a
- Coordination
The City will coordinate and implement its strategies through the following actions:
♦ Target programs to those areas and populations exhibiting the greatest need as
indicated in the Consolidated Plan.
♦ Encourage public service providers to coordinate and work together to maximize
services and limit duplication of efforts.
Monitoring
Annual monitoring will assure compliance within the CDBG program. The City receives
quarterly reports or annual performance reports from all CDBG subrecipients. The City
reviews the performance reports and selects subrecipients for periodical detailed site visit
monitoring. These monitoring visits are documented and placed in the City's Files.
The City will ensure that the monitoring system is consistent with the HUD suggested
format. Project and Financial data on CDBG- funded activities will be maintained using
the HUD software — IDIS (Integrated Disbursement Information System). Use of this
system will allow HUD staff easy access to local data for review and progress evaluation.

Summary of Citizen Participation Process
_ On February 12, 2001, the City sent a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) to public
service providers announcing the availability of $77,700 in CDBG funds for social
service purposes. City staff reviewed the 2001/02 service provider applications for
funding and made recommendations to the City Council. On March 13, 2001, the City
Council held a public hearing to solicit input from the community and to review the
various projects proposed for the 2001/02 CDBG program.
The Draft 2001/2002 Action Plan is available for the 30 -day public review and comment
period beginning on April 9, 2001. The City advertised the availability of the Draft
2001/02 Action Plan for public review and comment in the Newport Beach -Costa Mesa
