Trimble, Program Manager 949/644 -3230. Email: dtrimble(a)city.newport- beach.ca.us SUBJECT: Review of the FY 2004 -2005 Community Development Block Grant One - Year Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. ISSUE: . 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, provide input, and be informed about the projected use of funds. More importantly, it is the tool that verifies and assists in the implementation of the goals and strategies outlined in the Five -Year Consolidated Plan. RECOMMENDATION: After receiving public comments and recommendations on the Draft Action Plan, including the budget for the CDBG program, staff recommends the Council approve the recommendations for funding and schedule the revised Action Plan for City Council approval at the May 11, 2004 Public Hearing. DISCUSSION: Citizen Participation During the April 13, 2004 City Council meeting, the Council will initiate a public hearing to solicit input from the community and to comment of the draft FY2004 -2005 One -Year Action Plan and to review the various projects proposed for the 2004 -2005 CDBG program year. The Newport Beach Planning Department is also entrusted by the Newport Beach City Council with the responsibility of reviewing all applications for CDBG funding by public service and fair housing agencies, and of making funding recommendations to the City Council. A draft version of the Action Plan was developed and released for a 30 -day public . review and comment period beginning on April 1, 2004. On May 11, 2004, the Newport Beach City Council will also conduct a public hearing to review any additional comments received on the draft Action Plan, and to make final funding decisions on the proposed activities. The City Council's funding decisions will be incorporated into the final Action Plan and submitted to HUD on or about May 15, 2004 for approval. All comments received on the draft Action Plan will be summarized and included in the final Action Plan. Public Services and Fair Housing In January of 2004, the City published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) in the Daily Pilot newspaper to announce the availability of CDBG funds and solicit proposals from tax - exempt nonprofit organizations that provide eligible CDBG services or projects that benefit Newport Beach residents. The City also mailed notices to agencies who receive funds in the current Fiscal Year and other agencies who had expressed interest in receiving funds. In response to the NOFA, nine public service providers submitted applications for CDBG grants for Fiscal Year 2004 -2005, requesting a total of $126,384. Included in this report is a summary of the CDBG Public Service Grant Applications and staff recommendations to the City Council. These recommendations are based on the priority needs identified in the Newport Beach 2000 -2005 Consolidated Plan: Public Services Priority Need Level Homeless Persons and At -risk Individuals Emergency Shelter High Transitional Housing High Permanent Housing High Substance Abuse Treatment High Mental Health Care High Victims of Domestic Violence High Youth Medium Special Needs Population Elderly and Frail Elderly High Persons with Disabilities Medium Persons with Drug /Alcohol Abuse Medium Affirmatively furthering fair housing choices are a mandated priority for the use of CDBG funds. The City has the option to fund fair housing services as part of the public service grants (subject to the 15% maximum allocation) or as part of the general administration funds (subject to the 20% maximum allocation). • FY 2004 -2005 CDBG One -Year Action Plan April 13, 2004 Page 2 2 Summary of Applications • The following information includes a brief description of the public service providers and proposed services, including the amount of funding requested.

Families Forward $5,000 The goal of Families Forward Food Pantry program is to alleviate hunger and meet critical food needs for families in crisis. The food pantry provides up to nine bags of groceries to a needy family once per month for up to 6 months. The program estimates assisting 50 clients or 20 families from Newport Beach. Funds will be used to cover personnel costs. WISE Place $5,000 "Steps to Independence" provides transitional shelter, food, clothing, counseling, and employment assistance to homeless women without children. The program handles a variety of clientele, including victims of domestic violence, emancipated youth, seniors, and women with developmental disabilities. The end goal is self- sufficiency. Residency ranges from 6 to 12 months, during which supportive services such as case • management, employment counseling, psychological counseling, and life- skills classes FY 2004 -2005 CDBG One -Year Action Plan April 13, 2004 Page 3 3 are offered. The shelter is located at 1411 N. Broadway in Santa Ana. The program estimates assisting between 75 and 90 formerly homeless women. Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter (OCIS) $20,000 • OCIS is one of only two emergency shelters in Orange County. The program offers both emergency shelter and transitional housing. The program anticipates providing emergency shelter for 50 -55 homeless individuals per night and transitional housing for 18 families at a time. Funds will be used for administrative costs. Serving People in Need (SPIN) $10,000 The SPIN Substance Abuse Recovery Program (SARP) provides access to recovery programs to homeless and low income individuals who cannot afford it otherwise. The program includes one month's room and board, counseling, and supplemental services focused on employment, medical assistance, and legal assistance. Funds will be used for case management, shelter costs, and operational costs. Funds will cover costs for case management for 9 individuals from Newport Beach and indirectly support the whole program that serves 450 individuals annually. FISH Harbor Area Inc. — Mobile Meals $30,000 Mobile Meals delivers nutritional meals to individuals who are homebound due to age, illness, or disability.

FISH Harbor Area Inc. — Hunger and Homeless Prevention $20,000 This program offers rental /utility assistance, supplemental groceries, and case management to low income families. It is estimated that 78 of the 5,200 annual client contacts will be Newport Beach residents. Mercy House $7,500 This program will provide program supplies at Emmanuel House, a transitional housing program for adults living with HIV or AIDS. The only project of its kind in Orange County, Emmanuel House provides homeless adults afflicted with this disease the opportunity to live in a dignified home environment and receive supportive services necessary to rebuild their lives. Funds will be used to provide a food pantry that contains nutritional supplements in addition to food and household supplies. FY 2004 -2005 CDBG One -Year Action Plan April 13, 2004 Page 4 0 L1 Fair Housing Council of Orange County S13,884 The program will further fair housing in Newport Beach through education, landlord /tenant counseling, and legal action when necessary. It is anticipated the program will assist 355 Newport Beach residents with landlord /tenant related problems and 5 households with allegations of discrimination. Fund Allocation Given the level of funding available, the amount of funding requested, past performance and proposed accomplishments, anticipated benefit to Newport Beach residents, and City priorities, staff recommends that the City Council provide funding for public service and fair housing activities as follows: Service Provider / Program Amount Requested Amount Recommended Designated Drivers Association $15,000 $0 Families Forward $5,000 $0 W I S EPlace $5,000 $5,000 Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter (OCIS) $20,000 $10,000 Serving People in Need (SPIN) $10,000 $10,000 FISH Harbor Area Inc. $50,000 $35,000 Mercy House $7,500 $5,550 Public Service Total $112,500 $65,550 Fair Housing Council of Orange County' $13,884 $13,884 'Fair Housing services are funded from the Administration portion of the City's CDBG allocation and do not count towards the 15% restriction for public services. This recommended allocation provides a consistent level of funding to each of the existing providers. Unfortunately, given the increased demand for public service funding, staff is not able to recommend funding for the Designated Drivers Association or Families Forward. Staff has determined that the Designated Drivers Association program does not truly meet the objectives of the Five -Year Consolidated Plan. In the case of Families Forward, Fish Harbor currently provides similar services and is located in closer proximity to Newport Beach.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY m 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Overview of Consolidated Plan Process Every year the City of Newport Beach receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The grant money is to primarily benefit the lower income residents of the City in three ways: • By providing decent housing • By providing a suitable living environment • By expanding economic opportunities To ensure that the funds are used to meet the most urgent needs in the community, the City develops a community needs assessment. The needs assessment includes quantitative and statistical research, resident survey results, and input from local non - profits and service agencies. Based on the needs assessment, the City compiles a list of goals and objectives to meet the community's needs in a Strategic Plan. The objectives address housing, homeless, and other community development needs. A summary of the current strategic plan is included in this Plan. Together, the community needs assessment and the Strategic Plan form the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan is developed every five (5) years. One -Year Action Plan for 2004 -2005 Program Year This is the One -Year Action Plan for program year 2004 -2005. This document describes how the City will utilize the new HUD grant funds and other available resources to undertake programs and projects that will help the City meet the goals and objectives outlined in its Consolidated Plan. In the 2004 -2005 program year, which starts July 15', 2004 and ends June 301" , 2005, the City of Newport Beach will receive $437,000 in CDBG Funds. In addition, the City will reallocate unspent funds from previous program years that have been freed up from completed projects. Overall, the City will allocate $413,159.20 to the following programs: • WISEPlace • Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter • Serving People In Need (SPIN) • Mercy House • FISH Harbor • FISH Harbor • Fair Housing Council • City of Newport Beach • City of Newport Beach • City of Newport Beach • City of Newport Beach Steps to Independence $5,000 Homeless Shelter $20,000 Substance Abuse Rehabilitation $10,000 Emmanuel House $5,550 Mobile Meals $20,000 Homeless and Hunger Prevention $15,000 Fair Housing Services $13,884 Code Enforcement $25,000 ADA Sidewalk Improvements $50,000 108 Loan Repayment $186,301 CDBG Administration $72,424 /D CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2004 PAGE 1 -1 • • E • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2004 Chapter 2.

STRATEGIC PLAN • Newport Beach Program Objectives: Housing 1. Develop 139 units of senior housing As stated in the Newport Beach Housing Element, the City's goal is to preserve and increase housing affordability. The City set a target of adding 139 senior housing units in the Consolidated Plan. This goal will be surpassed with the development of 150 units of senior housing at the Lower Bayview Project. The City has provided $1,000,000 in subsidies and waived an additional $250,000 in fees. The project has been approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council and is awaiting approval from the Coastal Commission. The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2004. 2. Maintain current level of Section 8 Voucher supply Section 8 vouchers are rental assistance payments to owners of private market rate units on behalf of very low- income tenants. This program allows the users to find their own housing which best suits their needs. The City will continue to support this county administered program. 3. Ensure universal access to fair housing The City is committed to ensuring the right to housing for all of its residents. Fair housing activities undertaken this year will be carried out by the Fair Housing Council of Orange County and will include conflict resolution, code enforcement, legal aid, and investigation into discrimination complaints. The Fair Housing Council provides services above and beyond what is typically considered housing 40 discrimination. in the coming year, the organization will address discrimination in the following areas: Lending Practices: While data and study has not shown discrimination in lending, efforts have not been proactive. • • Insuring Practices: Some insurance companies may be targeting certain zip codes for higher rates of denial or different terms and conditions for insurance coverage. • Outreach and Education: A lack of a standard in the fair housing education system may leave gaps in communities. In addition, some immigrant populations may not be aware of the right to fair housing. • Public Policies/Programs: A lack of coordination among cities in the region in regards to their planning activities may have an adverse effect on fair housing efforts on a regional basis. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2004 PAGE Z -Z 2. STRATEGIC PLAN Newport Beach Program Objectives: Special Needs The City's Consolidated Plan must describe the needs of persons who are not homeless but who • require supportive housing. These "special need" populations include elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addiction, persons with HIV /AIDS and their families, and public housing residents. 1. Increase accessibility to public facilities 2. Improve support services to elderly. Seniors are the largest and fastest growing "special need" population in Newport Beach. The City will provide support to seniors to enable them to remain independent. In the 2004 -2005 program year, the City received several proposals to provide services to special need populations. To date, the following programs have been recommended for funding: 3. Improve support services to those with substance addictions. Persons suffering from substance addictions are a target population of the City's Anti - Poverty Strategy. Once a person has begun the recovery process, there is a higher chance they will become self - sufficient. In the 2004 -2005 program year, the City received several proposals to provide services to special need populations. To date, the following programs have been recommended for funding: 4. Improve support services to HIV /AIDS population. In the 2004 -2005 program year, the City received several proposals to provide services to special need populations.

STRATEGIC PLAN Newport Beach Program Objectives: Homeless F. Preserve the supply of emergency and transitional housing While no emergency shelter or transitional housing facilities are located within Newport Beach, the provision of shelter is a priority for the City. The City will work with agencies in surrounding areas address homelessness. In 2004 the City will fund the following activities to meet this goal: • WISEPIace Steps to Independence $5,000 • Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter Homeless Shelter $20,000 • Serving People In Need (SPIN) Substance Abuse Rehabilitation $10,000 • Mercy House Emmanuel House $5,550 • FISH Harbor Homeless and Hunger Prevention $15,000 2. Assist homeless and prevent those "at- risk" of becoming homeless Part of the City's Anti - Poverty Strategy is to assist those "at- risk" of losing their self sufficiency and becoming more dependent on public services. The City will fund the following projects in the 2003 program year to meet this goal: • WISEPIace Steps to Independence $5,000 • Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter Homeless Shelter $20,000 • Serving People In Need (SPIN) Substance Abuse Rehabilitation $10,000 • Mercy House Emmanuel House $5,550 • FISH Harbor Homeless and Hunger Prevention $15,000 3. Assist homeless battered women and children Homelessness may not be as visible in Newport Beach as in surrounding communities, but the City still views homelessness as an important issue that is a high priority to be addressed. The City will continue to work with its partner agencies within the Orange County Continuum of Care to best meet the needs of homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness. In the 2004 -2005 program year, the City has recommended funding for the following activities to help address the public service needs of homeless persons in and around Newport Beach: • WISEPIace Steps to Independence $5,000 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2004 PAGE 2 -4 2. STRATEGIC PLAN Newport Beach Program Objectives: Community Development 1. Stimulate investment through alleviation of physical and economic distress The City is nearing completion of the work detailed in the Balboa Village Pedestrian and Streetscape Improvement Plan. CDBG funds were used to secure a Section 108 loan, which was used in conjunction with City parking funds to fund the improvements. The City expects the project to stimulate private economic investment in the area. In other areas, the City will rely on code enforcement activities to identify signs of deterioration in its early stages. • City of Newport Beach • City of Newport Beach Code Enforcement 108 Loan Repayment 2. Improve health and safety through rehabilitation of community facilities. The City will not fund any projects in 2003 that will work toward meeting this objective. $25,000 $186,301 3. Preserve neighborhoods and provide economic empowerment to lower income residents In 2003, the City will use CDBG to repay the loan used for the Balboa improvements, fund code enforcement officers to identify deterioration in its early stages, and fund programs that help persons gain a higher degree of self- sufficiency. • City of Newport Beach Code Enforcement $25,000 • City of Newport Beach 108 Loan Repayment $186,301 • WISEPlace Steps to Independence $5,000 • Serving People In Need (SPIN) Substance Abuse Rehabilitation $10,000 4.

STRATEGIC PLAN HUD - Specified Objectives 1. Address Obstacles to Meeting Needs The development process in housing and community development is lengthy and complex. It is often hampered by a wide range of obstacles. HUD asks local governments to strategize a plan to mitigate these obstacles. The City has identified the lack of developable sites, high land costs and limited funding as obstacles to affordable housing. Other obstacles in non - housing community development include NIMBY -ism (Not in My Backyard), lack of organizational capacity, and lack of available funding. In response, the City has adopted policies to overcome some of these obstacles. In regard to affordable housing, the City encourages affordable housing production by providing density bonuses to interested developers and through the inclusionary zoning requirements. The City will work closely with affordable housing developers to expedite the permitting process in order to cut costs. To address the lack of funding, the City will apply to other funding sources, such as the BEGIN program and a workforce housing grant. In regard to non - housing obstacles, the City will facilitate community involvement to increase understanding of community needs and the possible solutions to meet those needs. The City will maintain close partnerships with service providers and other community development professionals to identify and correct issues such as lack of capacity and resources. 2. Foster and Maintain Affordable Housing As stated above, the City has identified the lack of developable sites, high land costs and limited funding as obstacles to producing affordable housing. The City continues to monitor and enforce affordability covenants on affordable housing projects throughout the City. 3. Remove Barriers to Affordable Housing The City will continue to implement the following procedures and programs: • Monitor all regulations, ordinances, departmental processing procedures, and residential development fees to ensure these requirements do not excessively constrain affordable residential development. • Continue to offer density bonus incentives for the development of affordable housing pursuant to state density bonus requirements and the City's General Plan Housing Element. • Partner with the Fair Housing Council of Orange County to provide tenant and landlord counseling to provide fair housing opportunities for Newport Beach residents. 4. Reduce Poverty Almost all of the City's funded programs are aimed at helping a family or individual increase or maintain their self - sufficiency. For example, Newport Beach Meals on Wheels and Project CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTiOH PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2004 PAGE 2 -6 2. STRATEGIC PLAN Independence work toward supporting self - sufficiency of seniors and persons with disabilities. Every homeowner the City assists through down payment assistance or rehabilitation increase their self - sufficiency by protecting their principal investment: their home. The City will also help families rise out of poverty through seminars focused on the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). It is estimated that 44,000 families in Orange County are eligible for the tax credit but do not take it. In partnership with the Legal Aid Society of Orange County, Wells Fargo, and others, the City will help families prepare their tax returns. Participants in last year's seminars averaged a return of $3000. In the 2004 -2005 program year, the City will fund the following activities that will directly contribute to reduction of poverty levels in Newport Beach: Childcare Scholarships 5. Develop Institutional Structure Page ### For organizations that did not receive funding, the City will provide a Certification of Consistency if the proposed project reflects the goals and objectives of the City's adopted Consolidated Plan. 6. Enhance Service Delivery (including Monitoring) The City continues to refine its internal procedures and build its relationships with partner agencies in order to provide the highest level of service to the targeted populations. The City will also make efforts to ensure a high level of service from its subrecipients. These efforts start at the beginning of the program year with a kick -off meeting that covers program requirements, such as record - keeping, invoicing, and procurement. Throughout the program year, the City will review payment requests and progress reports to ensure program compliance and provide technical assistance when needed. It is the City's goal to provide on -site monitoring to every subrecipient at least once during the program year. The goal of the monitoring is to ensure program compliance and improve the level of service. 7. Address Threat of Lead Based Paint The City will pursue other actions as well, such as monitoring lead- poisoning data maintained by Orange County Department of Health Services, educating residents on the health hazards of lead based paint through the use of brochures and encouraging the screening of children for elevated blood -lead levels, and disseminating brochures through the rehabilitation program and the City's partners in affordable and fair housing. 8. Improve Public Housing As stated in the fourth local housing goal in the above section, the City will assist Orange County Housing Authority(OCHA) to maximize the use of Section 8 funds and other resources within Newport Beach. In the coming year, the City will follow up with interested property owners and OCHA to explore the idea of creating project -based section 8 within the City.

Other Resources • It is difficult to estimate the amount of other resources that are available for affordable housing and community development projects in Newport Beach. Over the next program year, the City may pursue the following available funding sources: • Workforce Housing Grant • BEGIN Funds • California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA) Multi - Family Rental Housing Program • CHFA Home Mortgage Purchase Program • California Housing Rehabilitation Program -Owner Component • Low Income Housing Tax Credits • Local Housing Trust Fund Program ,.P- D 0 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2004 Chapter 4. DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES ,�-,1 4. DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES Distribution among Priority Needs The funding available under the Consolidated Plan may be used to meet a wide variety of needs. The . City established local priority needs based on the housing market analysis and other research conducted as part of the 2000 Consolidated Plan. The goals listed in the Strategic Plan section of this document are the result of that research. The City gives priority to projects and programs that will pursue the goals listed in the strategic plan. Geographic Distribution All CDBG- funded public service activities will be available to Newport Beach residents citywide based on income and other eligibility. These activities cater specifically to low and moderate income residents or to groups presumed to be of low and moderate income instead of residents in a specific area. Public Facility improvements and Code Enforcement activities will be targeted to the Balboa Peninsula area. Projects that serve an identified geographic area, such as parks, facilities, community centers and street improvements, are eligible for CDBG funding based on the percentage of low and moderate - income residents living in the service area. In most communities, the threshold is 51 percent. However, some communities, such as Newport Beach, have no or very few areas that meet this criteria. For these grantees, the CDBG law authorizes an alternate method to determine a lower threshold. The Balboa Peninsula is one of the few areas in Newport Beach that is eligible for CDBG assistance under this . alternate calculation of eligibility. Please refer to the map on the following page for more details on the areas that will benefit from Code Enforcement and the Public Facilities Improvements. 22 0 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2004 PAGE 4 -1 0 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2004 Chapter 5.
