Executive Summary ES -05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction The City of Newport Beach has prepared the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan as a requirement to receive Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The Consolidated Plan provides the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with a comprehensive assessment of the City's housing and community development needs and outlines the City's priorities, objectives and strategies for the investment of CDBG funds to address these needs over the next five years, beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2020. The 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 this Plan. The CDBG program generally provide for a range of eligible activities for the benefit of 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).

Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The priority needs and goals identified in the Plan needs assessment were identified based on analysis of information including the results of the City's 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey and housing and community development data elements required by HUD in the online Consolidated Plan system (the eCon Planning Suite) from the 2007 -2011 American Community Survey (ACS) 5 -Year Estimates and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) covering the same time period. Additional sources of information used to identify needs and establish priorities were obtained through consultation with local nonprofit agencies involved in the development of affordable housing and the delivery of public services to children, families, elderly persons and persons with special needs throughout the community. In consideration of community input and available data, the six priority needs listed below are established as part of this Plan: • Ensure equal access to housing opportunities • Provide public services for low- income residents • Provide public services for residents with special needs • Prevent and eliminate homelessness • Strengthen Economic Opportunity • Improve public facilities and infrastructure Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 )exp. 07/31/2015) 3 Consistent with HUD's national goals for the CDBG program to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate - income residents, the priority needs listed above will be addressed over the next five years through the implementation of CDBG funded activities aligned with the following six measurable Strategic Plan goals: Table 1- Strategic Plan Summary 3. Evaluation of past performance The investment of HUD resources during the 2010 -2014 program years 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 within the first four years of the Consolidated Plan period: Preserve and improve the existing housing stock and ensure eaual access • Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher — Maintain existing level of Section 8 vouchers and rent - restricted units within the City at risk of conversion to market rate housing through refinancing. (1,917 Housing Units) • Fair Housing Program — Ensure universal access to fair housing choice within the City.

(4 Public Facilities) While the City and local partners were able to successfully implement the activities listed above during the last five (5) years, there were insufficient resources to fully address the level of need identified in the last Consolidated Plan. The amount of CDBG funds that have been allocated to the City have diminished every year curtailing the City's ability to implement activities that benefit low- and moderate - income residents. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 5 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process 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 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. In accordance with the City's Citizen Participation Plan, residents and stakeholders were able to participate in the development of the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan through surveys, community meetings and public hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low - and moderate - income persons, particularly those living in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate - income neighborhoods. Efforts were made to encourage the participation of minorities and non - English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. 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. S. Summary of public comments A community meeting /hearing to discuss the housing and community development needs in Newport Beach was held on February 26, 2015 at the Community Room in the Newport Beach Civic Center. Participants and staff discussed the CDBG program and attendees were encouraged to complete the City's 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey.

Summary Examination of 2007 -2011 American Community Survey (ACS) 5 -Year Estimates and the 2007- 2011 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, in addition to local data, as well as consultation with citizens and stakeholders revealed seven high priority needs to be addressed through the investment of an anticipated $1.8 million of CDBG funds over the five - year period of the Consolidated Plan. The investment of CDBG funds in eligible activities shall be guided principally by the six goals of the Strategic Plan. Activities submitted for consideration in response to any solicitation or Notice of Funds Availability (NCFA) process must conform with one of the six Strategic Plan strategies and the associated action - oriented, measurable goals in order to receive consideration for CDBG funds.

Introduction 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 To gather the greatest breadth and depth of information, the City consulted with a wide variety of agencies, groups and organizations concerning the housing, community and economic development needs of the community. Each of the agencies, groups or organizations consulted is represented below. The input received from these consultation partners helped establish and inform the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan. Specific comments received from these organizations are included as Appendix A. 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 strengthen relationships and alignment among these organizations in the implementation of the NOFA process for CDBG funds and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients of CDBG funds each year. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 9 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 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 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. Coordination to address homelessness — including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth — is guided by the CoC and its leading organizations including 2 -1 -1 Orange County and Orange County Community Services. All service providers within the CoC have the ability to refer people with varying needs to the appropriate service provider(s) in their area. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 10 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 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 The Orange County CoC consults with jurisdictions receiving Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds on an ongoing basis. A collaborative was formed and quarterly meetings are held with representatives of the ESG jurisdictions and the CoC. During the meetings funding priorities are determined which are consistent with the Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness and the Consolidated Plans of ESG jurisdictions. An evaluation panel is selected whose primary responsibility is to determine the agencies to receive funding. In Orange County, ESG funds are directed toward emergency shelter and rapid- rehousing programs. Orange County also utilizes its CDBG funding for emergency shelter rehabilitation and homeless services to the extent that CDBG public service resources are available. The Orange County CoC's performance standards and outcome evaluation methodology is based on data collected from HMIS and Annual Performance Reports (APRs), including data such as employment income, access to mainstream resources, transition to permanent housing, remaining in permanent housing, leveraging, spending, HMIS data quality, participation in PIT Counts and the Homeless Inventory County (HIC). These data elements are reviewed annually for the purposes of ranking service providers. In recent years, the Orange County CoC began the process of reviewing additional performance criteria gathered from HMIS including, average length of stay, rate of permanent housing exits, rate of returns, net exits to permanent housing, rate of net exits and project budgets through a Performance Improvement Calculator. This information provides the CoC the extent to which each project has resulted in rapid return to permanent housing and the cost of programs. The Orange County CoC takes into account the severity of barriers. High barrier households are placed in to permanent supportive housing and lower barrier households are rapidly returned to permanent housing. The Orange County CoC will continue to use the Performance Improvement Calculator and review information quarterly provided through HMIS and budget data. 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.

The City monitors CoC policy making to ensure that local efforts correspond to changes in the regional approach to addressing the needs of homeless and low- income people. Further, the Planning Division works with subrecipients of CDBG funds to ensure a coordinated effort among service agencies in the region to address the needs of Newport Beach residents, including but not limited to chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, unaccompanied youth, and persons who were recently homeless but now live in permanent housing. To promote economic opportunities for low- income residents, the City coordinates with subrecipient social service agencies, businesses and housing developers to ensure that where there are job opportunities for low- income people in connection with HUD - assisted projects, information is disseminated through appropriate channels consistent with the objectives of Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1968.

Table 5— Citizen Participation Outreach Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 24 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) Needs Assessment NA -05 Overview Needs Assessment Overview The Needs Assessment section of the Consolidated Plan examines housing, homelessness, non - homeless special needs and non - housing community development needs. The housing needs assessment section evaluates household income, tenure (renter or owner), housing cost as a function of household income, disproportionate need amongst racial and ethnic groups and public housing needs. The homeless needs assessment examines the sheltered and unsheltered homeless population in Orange County to inform the City's strategy to address homelessness during the next five years. The non- homeless special needs assessment section evaluates the needs of people who are not homeless but due to various reasons are in need of services including but not limited to elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV /AIDS, victims of human trafficking, Veterans with Post - Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and victims of domestic violence. The non - housing community development needs assessment section discusses the need for public facilities, public infrastructure improvements and public services to benefit low- and moderate - income residents. Methodology To assess community needs, the City examined data, held community meetings, conducted a Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey and consulted with local stakeholders. The Needs Assessment primarily relies on the following sources of data: • American Community Survey (2007- 20115 -year estimates) • Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (2007 -20115 -year estimates) • ESRI Economic Data • 2013 Point -In -Time Homeless Count Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey for Residents and Stakeholders Newport Beach residents and program stakeholders had the opportunity to respond to the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey to rate the need in Newport Beach for housing facilities, housing services, community services, services for special needs populations, neighborhood services, community facilities, infrastructure and business and jobs services. The results of the 57 Newport Beach residents who responded to the survey are represented in Figures 1 -8 below.

During this time period, the number of households increased by 9 percent from 35,041 to 38,048 and the median household income increased from $83,455 to $108,946. The City of Newport Beach includes 13,115 households, or 34 percent of all households, that earn less than 100 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) and 10,350 or 27 percent of all households earn less than 80 percent of AMI. Table 7 presents the number of different household types in the City for different levels of income. Small family households consist of 2 -4 family members, while large family households have more than 5 persons per household. The income levels are divided by different AMI levels corresponding with HUD income definitions as follows: • 0-30 %AMI: extremely low-income— 10 percent of all households; • 30-50% AMI: low- income —7 percent of all households; • 50-80%AMI: moderate-income — 10 percent of all households; and • 80-100% AMI: medium- income -7 percent of all households. The most common household type in Newport Beach is small family households, representing 32.3 percent of all households in the City. Nineteen (19) percent of small family households and large family households earn less than 80 percent of AMI, indicating that Newport Beach households are similarly situated economically regardless of size. Similarly, 21 percent of the households with one or more children 6 years old or younger and households containing at least one person age 62 -74 years of age earn less than 80 percent of AMI. However, the need to preserve affordable housing becomes more critical for 1,180 households with at least one person over the age of 62 earning less than 80 percent of AMI, representing 9.3 percent of all households with senior citizens. Tables 8 and 9 indicate that 6,770 of the City's 38,048 households earning less than 100 percent of AMI experience at least one housing problem. HUD defines four (4) different housing problems as: 1. Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or stove, or a refrigerator Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 30 OMs Control No: 25060117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) 2. Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet and a bathtub or shower 3. Overcrowding / severe overcrowding: A household is considered to be overcrowded if there are more than 1.01 people per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half- rooms. A household is considered severely overcrowded if there are more than 1.5 people per room. 4. Cost burden / severe cost burden: A household is considered cost burdened if the household pays more than 30% of its total gross income for housing costs. A household is considered severely cost burdened if the household pays more than 50% of its total income for housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities. Evaluation of Tables 8 and 9 indicates that for households earning 0 -100% of AMI, the highest priority housing needs include cost burden, severe cost burden. Table 12 shows that a low percentage (1.53 percent) of Newport Beach's households earning less than 100 percent of AMI is overcrowded.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance. According to ACS data, there are 13,089 single person households in the City, accounting for 34 percent of the City's households. Of the single person households, 5,555 (42 percent) are homeowners and 7,534 (58 percent) are renters. According to Table 10, 3,290 households categorized as "other" experienced a cost burden. It can be said that most of these "other" households are considered single person households. In addition, according to Table 11, 2,405 households categorized as "other" experienced a severe cost burden. Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. The State of California Department of Justice maintains statistics on domestic violence statewide by jurisdiction. In 2013, the Newport Beach Police Department responded to a total of 175 calls related to domestic violence. Of these calls: • 164 of these domestic incidents did not involve a weapon • 11 calls involved a weapon Therefore, there were at least 175 households during the period of a year who were in need of some type of domestic violence services. In households were physical violence occurred, it is possible that at least one member of the household will need to relocate within the next five years to escape recurring violence. If 75 percent need to move, approximately 131 individuals — possibly with minor children — may require temporary housing assistance. The form of assistance needed is twofold. first, the City recognizes that it is crucial to prioritize the creation of additional rental housing opportunities for low- and moderate- income households in general because Orange County is a "high -cost area" as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in the HUD Mortgagee Letter dated July 7, 2014. Second, it is important to ensure that both new and existing affordable housing opportunities are accessible to special needs populations such as victims of domestic violence, persons with disabilities, single heads of household, seniors and transition age youth. To address special needs populations, the City will also prioritize the provision of public services to remove barriers to accessing affordable housing.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance. According to ACS data, there are 13,089 single person households in the City, accounting for 34 percent of the City's households. Of the single person households, 5,555 (42 percent) are homeowners and 7,534 (58 percent) are renters. According to Table 10, 3,290 households categorized as "other" experienced a cost burden. It can be said that most of these "other" households are considered single person households. In addition, according to Table 11, 2,405 households categorized as "other" experienced a severe cost burden. Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. The State of California Department of Justice maintains statistics on domestic violence statewide by jurisdiction. In 2013, the Newport Beach Police Department responded to a total of 175 calls related to domestic violence. Of these calls: • 164 of these domestic incidents did not involve a weapon • 11 calls involved a weapon Therefore, there were at least 175 households during the period of a year who were in need of some type of domestic violence services. In households were physical violence occurred, it is possible that at least one member of the household will need to relocate within the next five years to escape recurring violence. If 75 percent need to move, approximately 131 individuals — possibly with minor children — may require temporary housing assistance.

Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 38 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) What are the most common housing problems? The most common housing problem in the City is cost burden, which affects 20 percent of low - and moderate - income households earning less than 80 percent of AMI, including 5,025 renter households and 2,765 owner households who pay more than 30 percent of their monthly gross income for housing costs. Within this group of cost burdened households, 5,805 are severely cost burdened households paying more than 50 percent of their monthly gross income for housing costs, including 3,580 renter households and 2,225 owner households. The percentages of other housing problems, including overcrowding and substandard housing lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, are insignificant. Table 12 indicates that overcrowding and severe overcrowding affects 253 low- and moderate - income Newport Beach households. Renter households make up 78 percent of the low- and moderate - income households who have more than 1.01 people per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half- rooms. Are any populations /household types more affected than others by these problems? According to Table 10, of the 7,790 low- and moderate - income households experiencing a cost burden, the two most affected groups include 2,820 "other" renter households and 1,545 elderly owner households. Large related households with five or more people are not affected by cost burden to the same extent as small family households. According to Table 12, the majority of the low- and moderate - income households impacted by overcrowded housing conditions are single family renter households who comprise 138 or 55 percent of the 253 total households affected by this housing problem. Describe the characteristics and needs of Low - income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low- income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re- housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance The leading indicators of risk for homelessness among extremely low- income individuals and families with children who are currently housed include housing cost burden and severe housing cost burden. Tables 10 and 11 indicate the number of currently housed households with housing cost burdens more than 30 percent and 50 percent, respectively, by household type, tenancy, and household income. Based on the data in Table 10, 7,790 (75 percent) of households earning 0- Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 39 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) 80 percent of AMI in the City experience a cost burden. Of these households, 5,025 (65 percent) are renters and 2,765 (35 percent) are owners. The 3,320 extremely low- and low- income renters with housing cost burdens are the most at risk of homelessness. According to Table 7, 525 (5 percent) of the 10,350 households earning less than 80 percent of AMI have one or more children 6 years old or younger, with most of these households earning between 50 and 80 percent of AMI. If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at -risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at -risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates: The assessment of at -risk populations is based on ACS and CHAS data in the Consolidated Plan using HUD definitions for household types and housing problems. Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness According to Table 11, there are 2,945 renter households who earn less than 50 percent of AMI that are severely cost burdened paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs. Of these 2,945 households: • 465 are small related households with four or fewer members • 55 are large related households with five or more members • 785 are elderly households with one or more members over the age of 62 • 1,640 are other person households These extremely low- and low- income households are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless. Discussion Based on evaluation of ACS and CHAS data in Tables 6 -12 above, the highest priority housing need exists for the development of additional rental housing units affordable to low- and moderate- income households. According to Table 10, 7,790 of the households earning 0 -80 percent of AMI are cost burdened households — meaning those households who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing costs. According to Table 11, 5,805 of the cost burdened households are actually severely cost burdened households — meaning that they pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs. Of the 5,805 severely cost burdened households, 3,580 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 2,945 Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 40 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless. In addressing this priority need through the implementation of an affordable rental housing development goal in the Strategic Plan, assistance should be directed to the greatest extent feasible toward the development of units affordable to the 2,945 severely cost burdened renter households who earn less than 50 percent of AMI. The development of additional affordable rental housing will also address overcrowding — the second most prevalent housing problem — by increasing the supply of housing units that are appropriately sized to accommodate small families and single person households.

Introduction HUD requires all grantees to compare and assess the need for housing for any racial or ethnic group present in the community. A disproportionately greater need exists when the members of racial or ethnic group at an income level experiences housing problems at a greater rate (10 percent or more) than the income level as a whole. For example, when evaluating 0 -30 percent of AMI households, if 50 percent of the households experience a housing problem, but 60 percent or more of a particular racial or ethnic group of households experience housing problems, that racial or ethnic group has a disproportionately greater need. The housing problems identified in Tables 14-17 below are defined as: 1. Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or stove, or a refrigerator 2. Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet and a bathtub or shower 3. Overcrowding: A household is considered to be overcrowded if there are more than 1.01 people per room. 4. Cost burden: A household is considered cost burdened if the household pays more than 30% of its total gross income for housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities. 0 % -30% of Area Median Income Housing Problems Has one or more of four housing problems Has none of the four housing problems Household has no /negative income, but none of the other housing problems Jurisdiction as a whole 2,305 350 415 White 1,865 270 365 Black / African American 0 0 0 Asian 190 15 35 American Indian, Alaska Native 0 20 0 Pacific Islander 0 0 0 Hispanic 235 50 10 Table 14 - Disproportionally Greater Need 0 - 30 %AMI Data Source: 2007 -2011 CHAS Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 42 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) *The four housing problems are: 1.

The Orange County Department of Housing and Community Services, acting as the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA), oversees public housing programs for participating jurisdictions, including Newport Beach. As a standard performing housing authority, OCHA provides affordable housing for low- income families, seniors and disabled persons. OCHA administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8), which provides rental assistance in all unincorporated areas of the County and in 34 participating cities. The mission of OCHA is "to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing conditions for families with low- income, very -low income, and extremely low- income and to manage resources efficiently. OCHA promotes personal, economic and social upward mobility to provide families the opportunity to make the transition from subsidized to non - subsidized housing."

Further, housing providers may not require persons Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 60 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) with disabilities to live only on certain floors, or to all live in one section of the housing. Housing providers may not refuse to make repairs, and may not limit or deny someone with a disability access to recreational and other public and common use facilities, parking privileges, cleaning or janitorial services or any services which are made available to other residents. When possible, OCHA fulfills reasonable accommodation requests. These include disabled access, desire to live near family, and senior appropriate housing. To complement this, over the past five years OCHA has been awarded 50 non - elderly disabled (NED) vouchers and 510 HUD VASH vouchers to enable the Housing Authority to better serve disabled residents. OCHA takes the following steps proactively to serve the needs of disabled residents: • When requested by an individual, assist program applicants and participants to gain access to support services available within the community, but not require eligible applicant or participant to accept supportive services as a condition of continued participation in the program. • Not deny persons who qualify for a Housing Choice Voucher under this program other housing opportunities, or otherwise restrict access to OCHA programs to eligible applicants who choose not to participate. • Provide housing search assistance when requested. Lists of available units that include accessible units for persons with disabilities are provided to participants. This list is updated weekly and is available in the Lobby. Upon request, a referral list may also be obtained by email, or by fax. • In accordance with rent reasonableness requirements, approve higher rents to owners that provide accessible units with structural modifications for persons with disabilities. • Provide technical assistance, through referrals to a fair housing service provider such as the Fair Housing Foundation, to owners interested in making reasonable accommodations or units accessible to persons with disabilities. In 2012, OCHA opened its waitlist for two weeks, during which time 50,000 households submitted applications. Of these applications, 19 percent identified as having at least one person in the house with a disability. Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders The most pressing need is the high demand for affordable housing throughout the county. This is documented by the long waitlists for public housing units and vouchers as noted above when 50,000 households submitted applications for vouchers. During that open enrollment period, OCHA noted that a growing number of applicants lived outside of Orange County. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 61 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) OCHA noted that housing costs are quite high in the county, especially in Newport Beach, often resulting in cost burdened households. Beyond the need for affordable housing, residents also need additional access to service programs such as: • Job training and placement • Youth employment and educational programs • Childcare services • Transportation How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The needs experienced by OCHA residents are similar to the needs of very low- income and low - income households throughout the City of Newport Beach. Discussion In the upcoming five years, OCHA's goals include the following actions: • 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. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 62 OMB Control No: 25060117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA -40 Homeless Needs Assessment — 91.205(c) Introduction: There are four federally defined categories under which individuals and families may qualify as homeless: 1) literally homeless; 2) imminent risk of homelessness; 3) homeless under other Federal statues; and 4) fleeing /attempting to flee domestic violence. Although recent reports show that homelessness is decreasing, challenges still remain. The pool of people at risk of homelessness — including those in poverty, those living with friends and family and those paying over half their income for housing remains high. Homelessness is addressed regionally by the Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC), an umbrella organization that brings together government agencies and community -based non- profit organizations in a coordinated effort to meet the urgent needs of those who have become homeless or are in imminent danger of becoming homeless. Three key groups have leadership roles within the CoC, including The Commission to End Homelessness (lead agency and legislative body), the Orange County Community Services Department (administrative) and 2 -1 -1 Orange County, a private nonprofit (leads /coordinates network of homeless providers). In 2012, the CoC finalized the Ten -Year Plan to End Homelessness in Orange County. This plan provides the following nine goals to effectively end homelessness in Orange County: • Prevent homelessness by ensuring that no one in our community becomes homeless. • Conduct outreach to those who are homeless and at -risk of homelessness. • Improve the efficacy of the emergency shelter and access system. • Make strategic improvements in the transitional housing system. • Develop permanent housing options linked to a range of supportive services. • Ensure that people have the right resources, programs and services to remain housed. • Improve data systems to provide timely, accurate data that can be used to define the need for housing and related services and to measure outcomes. • Develop the systems and organizational structures to provide oversight and accountability. • Advocate for social policy and systemic changes necessary to succeed. The Ten -Year Plan to End Homelessness in Orange County represents a commitment by all stakeholders throughout the County to end homelessness over the next decade. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 63 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/20151 Nature and Extent of Homelessness in Orange County Compared to the National Average Every two years during the last 10 days of January, HUD requires communities across the country conduct a comprehensive count of their homeless population in order to better understand the nature and extent of homelessness. The most recent Point -in -Time Homeless Count (PIT Count) was held on January 26, 2013, providing the only population data available for the entire County on people who are literally homeless (i.e. living unsheltered on the streets, in a vehicle or other place not fit for human habitation, or in and emergency shelter or transitional housing program). Similar to other counties in California that reported 2011 and 2013 point -in -time results, Orange County's homeless population has declined as a percentage of the overall population. According to HUD's Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress, Orange County's homeless rate has fallen below the national average of 0.2 percent. Increases or decreases in homelessness reported in PIT Counts may be partially attributable to methodological differences, shifts in HUD requirements and data quality improvements in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). These factors may affect the accuracy and meaning of the PIT Count compared to previous counts. 2013 Point -In -Time Count Results The PIT Count revealed that on any given night in Orange County, approximately 4,300 people are homeless and that over a course of a year, more than 12,700 people will experience homelessness.

Of those homeless individuals that were reported as chronically homeless, 129 individuals were sheltered and 668 individuals were unsheltered. Families with children include at least one household member age 18 or over and at least one household member under the age of 18. According to the PIT Count, there were 523 homeless families with at least one adult and one child, comprised of 522 families (1,536 people) living in Consolidated Plan NEWPORTBEACH 66 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) emergency or transitional shelters and one unsheltered family (three people) in need of housing assistance. Veterans are persons who have served on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States. This does not include inactive military reserves or the National Guard unless the person was called up to active duty. The PIT count revealed 177 sheltered veterans and 269 unsheltered veterans, including an estimated 11 sheltered female veterans and 11 unsheltered female veterans. Unaccompanied youth are individuals under the age of 18 years old, who are presumed to be emancipated if they are unsheltered without an adult. According to the Orange County Homeless Count & Survey Report, there was one interview of an unaccompanied 17 year old. Additionally, 480 homeless individuals were categorized as severely mentally ill according to the Orange County Homeless Count & Survey Report, meaning that they have mental health problems that are expected to be of long, continued and indefinite duration and substantially impair their ability to live independently. Of those homeless individuals that were reported as severely mentally ill, 104 individuals were sheltered and 376 remained unsheltered. Further, the Orange County Homeless Count & Survey Report revealed 89 homeless people with HIV /AIDS, including 62 individuals who were sheltered and 27 who were unsheltered.

According to the PIT Count, there were 523 homeless families with at least one adult and one child, comprised of 522 families (1,536 people) living in emergency or transitional shelters and one unsheltered family (three people) in need of housing assistance. Countywide, an estimated 523 housing units that are affordable to extremely -low income households are needed to reduce the number of homeless families with children. Additionally, the PIT count revealed 177 sheltered veterans and 269 unsheltered veterans, including an estimated 11 sheltered female veterans and 11 unsheltered female veterans. Countywide, an estimated 446 housing units that are affordable to extremely -low or low - income households are needed to reduce the number of homeless veterans. Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. According to the PIT Count, an estimated 66.4 percent of unsheltered homeless individuals were identified as White in terms of race and 69.9 percent of unsheltered homeless individuals were identified as non - Hispanic in terms of ethnicity. The next largest unsheltered racial groups include Black /African American (9.1 percent) and those with multiple races (8.7 percent). None of the racial groups were disproportionately represented amongst the homeless population. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 68 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The homeless population in Orange County is generally comparable to national averages. As in Orange County, the majority of homeless people nationally identified themselves as Black or White in terms of race. There are more Hispanics in Orange County's unsheltered homeless population than nationally (28 percent versus 16 percent); however, Orange County overall is 34 percent Hispanic. Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. Approximately 1,678 people or 39 percent of Orange County's homeless people were unsheltered and living in inhabitable living environments (i.e. living in the streets, vehicles or tents) and approximately 2,573 people or 61 percent of homeless people counted were sheltered. Of the 2,573 people sheltered, 796 were in emergency shelters, 749 were in transitional housing and zero were in safe haven shelters —a form of supportive housing that serves hard -to -reach homeless persons with severe mental illness who come primarily from the streets and have been unable or unwilling to participate in housing or supportive services. Orange County has not designated any safe haven programs. Discussion: As indicated earlier, the PIT Count conducted on January 26, 2013 revealed that on any given night in Orange County, approximately 4,300 people are homeless. With the understanding that it is not possible to locate and count each homeless individual in a single morning, as was the strategy for the PIT Count, an annualized count is calculated using a HUD - approved methodology to determine the estimated number of people experiencing homelessness in a one -year period. It is estimated that over a course of a year, approximately 12,707 people will experience homelessness in Orange County, down from 21,479 in 2009. The formula used to develop the Orange County annualized estimate was adjusted to take into account Orange County's seasonal shelter system and high degree of complete and accurate data collected through the Orange County HMIS. The results of the PIT Count are encouraging with respect to declines in the total number of homeless identified on the day of the PIT Count and the estimated annualized count, with each figure representing a steady decline in homelessness over the last five years. The percentage of the County's population that may be homeless on a given night is half of what it was in 2009, declining from 0.28 percent to 0.14 percent. While the deployment of homeless prevention and rapid re- housing resources by the CoC and its partner agencies has made significant inroads toward achieving the goals included in the Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness in Orange County, the following Countywide needs are identified: Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 69 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) • An estimated 523 housing units that are affordable to extremely -low income households are needed to address homelessness for families with children. • An estimated 2,562 housing units that are affordable to low- income households are needed to address homelessness for the 2,698 people in households without children. Included in the needs above, an estimated 446 housing units that are affordable to extremely - low or low- income households are needed to reduce the number of sheltered and unsheltered homeless veterans. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 70 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA -45 Non - Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction: Special needs populations consist of persons who are not homeless but due to various reasons are in need of services and supportive housing. Persons with special needs include the elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV /AIDS and victims of domestic violence. In Orange County, other subpopulations with special needs include victims of human trafficking and veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The City of Newport Beach will consider allocating CDBG public service funding to various programs that provide services to special needs populations, including but not limited to those serving the elderly, frail elderly, developmentally disabled, physically disabled and victims of domestic violence. Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: Elderly and Frail Elderly: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines elderly as a person who is 62 years of age or older. A frail elderly person is an elderly person who is unable to perform at least three activities of daily living including eating, bathing or home management activities. Generally, elderly persons have lower incomes than the population at large. Based on 2007 -2011 CHAS data, of the 12,725 households containing at least one elderly person, 31 percent (3,895 households) earn less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income for Orange County. Persons with Disabilities: HUD defines a disabled person as having a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits major life activities. The obstacle to independent living for these adults is not only their disability, but also the lack of financial resources, often related to limited employment. Additionally, persons with disabilities have high dependency on supportive services and may require accessibility modifications to accommodate their unique conditions. Based on ACS data, of the total Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population (85,654) in Newport Beach, 6,013 persons have a disability. Of these 6,013 disabled persons, 1,761 are between the ages of 18 -64 years of age. Alcohol and Other Drug Addictions: Drug abuse or substance abuse is defined as the use of chemical substances that lead to an increased risk of problems and an inability to control the use of the substance. According to the Indicators of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Report for Orange, Center for Applied Research Solutions, there were 406 admissions to alcohol and other drug treatment per 100,000 people in Orange County compared to the state average of 592 admissions in 2008. There were also 838 arrests for felony and misdemeanor drug offenses and 1,055 alcohol related arrests per 100,000 people in comparison to the state's 910 drug arrests and 1,203 alcohol arrests in 2008. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 71 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) HIV /AIDS: Human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV) is a virus that weakens one's immune system by destroying important cells that fight diseases and infection. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the final stage of the HIV infection. Orange County's Health Care Agency Department of Disease Control and Epidemiology reported 6,215 persons living with HIV disease at the end of 2013. For persons living with HIV /AIDS, access to affordable housing, supportive services and health care is important to maintaining their well- being. Victims of Domestic Violence: Domestic Violence includes, but is not limited to felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a current or former spouse of the victim or by a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabited with the victim as a spouse. In 2013, the Newport Beach Police Department responded to a total of 175 calls related to domestic violence. Of these calls, 164 of these domestic incidents did not involve a weapon. However, 11 calls involved a weapon of which 1 involved a firearm, 2 involved a knife or cutting instrument, 1 involved other dangerous weapons and 7 involved personal weapons such as feet or hands. What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? To determine the level of need and types of services needed by special needs populations, the City conducted surveys, consulted with local service providers and reviewed ACS data. Supportive services required for special needs populations include case management, medical or psychological counseling and supervision, childcare, transportation and job training provided for the purpose of facilitating a person's stability and independence. In housing, accessibility modifications to accommodate persons with mobility disabilities may include, but are not limited to, wider doorways, no step thresholds, installation of ramps, grab bars, lowered countertops and accessible hardware. The needs of residents with sensory disabilities are different from those with mobility disabilities. Individuals with hearing disabilities require visual adaptations for such items as the telephone ringer, the doorbell and smoke alarms. Residents who are blind may require tactile marking of changes in floor level and stair edges and braille markings on appliances and controls. People with low vision may require large print markings and displays, contrasting colors to distinguish changes in level or transition from one area to another, proper lighting, and reduced glare from lighting and windows. For persons with special needs, the high cost of living in Orange County makes it very difficult for to maintain a stable residence. Often these segments of the population rely on support services from various Orange County's non - profit organizations to avoid becoming homeless or institutionalized. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 72 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV /AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area: Only one in every four of the 1.1 million Americans living with HIV has their infection under control. In Orange County a total 6,549 people were identified as having HIV /AIDS. Of the 6,549 estimated persons living with HIV in Orange County, 63.9 percent were linked to HIV care compared to California's 2012 percentage of 52 percent. 54.1 percent achieved viral suppression compared to California's 40 percent in 2012. Orange County has higher linkage to care and viral suppression percentages than California and national figures. Of the 6,549 Orange County residents age 13 and older estimated to be living with HIV, 54.1 percent had achieved viral suppression. Hispanics estimated to be living with HIV in Orange County are less likely to be linked to HIV care (59.3 percent) or virally suppressed (69.9 percent) than other race /ethnicity groups. However, younger persons (13 -24 years) estimated to be living with HIV are least likely to be linked to care (32.4 percent) and are also least likely to be virally suppressed (29.8 percent). Men and women estimated to be living with HIV in Orange County are equally likely to be linked to care (70.3percent), but women are more likely to be retained in care (59.7 percent), while men are more likely to be virally suppressed (60.7 percent). Women estimated to be living in Orange County are equally likely to be linked to HIV care (66.9 percent) and to be virally suppressed (59.8 percent) than males. Discussion: Newport Beach residents with special needs include, but are not limited to the elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol and other drug addictions, persons with HIV /AIDS and victims of domestic violence. In Orange County, other subpopulations with special needs include victims of human trafficking and veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Victims of Human Trafficking: Human trafficking is a crime that involves the forceful, fraudulent or coercive methods of entrapping a person, real or perceived, in an attempt to exploit them for financial gain. The exploitative nature can come in the form of labor services, involuntary servitude, enslavement, debt bondage or commercial sex acts. As of December 2012, The Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force reported a total of 213 incidents of human trafficking in Orange County as follows: • Type of Trafficking • Sex —160 • Labor -42 Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 73 OMB Control No: 25060117 (exp. 07/31/2015) • Sex and Labor -3 • Other -2 • Unknown -6 • Gender • Female —197 • Male —15 • Transgender -1 • Age • Adult -153 • Minor -60 • Nationality • Foreign — 81 • United States —132 Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: Post - Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of a life- threatening event such as military combat, natural disaster, terrorist incident, serious accident, physical or sexual assault. Most survivors of trauma experience a group of symptoms for a short period of time. However, others will have stress reactions that do not subside on their own and may get worse over time. The 2013 PIT Count, reported 446 homeless veterans. Of these veterans, 40 percent were sheltered in either emergency or transitional housing, while 60 percent of these homeless veterans remained unsheltered. Challenges these special needs populations and subpopulations face include low income and high housing cost. This segment of the population also struggles for a decent quality of life that includes basic necessities, adequate food and clothing and medical care. In the last five years, the City of Newport Beach provided CDBG public service funds for activities including those providing support services and transitional housing to victims of domestic violence, transportation services and nutritional meals program for low- income seniors. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 74 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31 /2015) NA -50 Non - Housing Community Development Needs — 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities: The City's public facility priorities are to construct, expand or rehabilitate public facilities for the primary benefit of low- income persons. CDBG public facility projects that meet CDBG eligibility requirements align with the goals of the Consolidated Plan, and address a CDBG National Objective will be considered for funding in the Annual Action Plans. Within the Consolidated Plan, a goal has been established to improve public facilities used by low- and moderate - income residents and residents with special needs. Such projects may include the construction of new facilities, rehabilitation of existing facilities or expansion of existing facilities to better meet the needs of Newport Beach residents. Such facilities include, but are not limited to youth centers, community centers, senior centers, parks and recreation facilities and child care centers. The City operates a dedicated facility for youth. The Community Youth Center is located at scenic Grant Howald Park in the heart of Corona del Mar. The facility includes athletic fields, basketball courts, tennis courts along with a game room, meeting room and dance floor. The City also operates seven community centers: Balboa, West Newport, Bonita Creek, Carroll Beek, Cliff Drive, Community Youth Center (CYC), and the Mariners Vincent Jorgensen Community Center. Newport Beach operates the Oasis Senior Center facility which helps direct seniors to valuable outside resources and offers high - quality programming to enrich the lives of seniors, including but not limited to activities such as educational classes, exercise programs, art education, health promotion, transportation, counseling, support functions. How were these needs determined? The needs identified for public facilities in the City were determined through citizen participation meetings and responses from the Consolidated Plan Survey. Within the Consolidated Plan, priority is given to facilities that primarily benefit low- income beneficiaries, particularly those with critically needed renovation or demonstrated need for expansion to accommodate the needs of low- income residents.

Public facilities improvements of this nature undertaken to benefit low- and moderate - income primarily residential CDBG Target Areas are consistent with the goals of the Consolidated Plan. How were these needs determined? The needs identified for public infrastructure improvements in the City were determined in consultation with the City of Newport Beach's Engineering Department.

Pursuant to CDBG regulations, only 15 percent of the City's annual grant allocation (plus 15 percent of prior year program income) can be used for public service -type activities. The City proposes to focus funds on lower- income households in order to establish, improve, and expand existing public services, such as: mental health services, services for domestic violence victims, services for the homeless and persons with special needs, and youth and senior services. The City partners with local non - profit agencies and the regional Continuum of Care to provide homeless services to the area. The City is cognizant of the importance of the provision of homeless services and will support programs that contribute to the regional Continuum of Care's framework of service. Although substance abuse services are being adequately provided by the various public and private agencies, the City places a medium priority on substance abuse services to address the high cost of these services for the low and moderate income persons who would otherwise not be able to afford the services in addition to addressing the supportive service in the Continuum of Care homeless plan. How were these needs determined? Public service needs are based on the City's desire to ensure that high quality services are provided to residents to maintain a high quality of life and to promote the well -being of all Newport Beach residents — particularly low- and moderate - income residents. As a result of the citizen participation and consultation process and in consideration of the local nonprofits and City Departments offering services, the City considers public services benefitting low- and moderate - income residents a high priority in the Consolidated Plan.

Newport Beach's housing stock primarily consists of single - family detached residential dwellings (45 percent) and single units in attached structures (16 percent), with 16,379 or 78 percent of the owner - occupied housing stock consisting of units with three or more bedrooms and the majority of the rental housing stock consisting of units that have two bedrooms (7,334 units or 43 percent) or one bedrooms (4,949 units or 29 percent). In the decade between 2000 and 2011, the median home price in Newport Beach increased by 48 percent from $675,800 to $1,000,001 and the median contract rent increased by 50 percent from $1,203 to $1,803 as median income increased by only 31 percent. As a result, some Newport Beach households have become cost - burdened. Data from 2007 -2011 shows that there is an insufficient number of housing units affordable to people with incomes less than 50 percent of AMI and for those between 80 and 100 percent of AMI. Of the 10,350 households earning 0 -80 percent of AMI in the City, 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, 3580 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. According to Table 34 there are 5,025 housing units in the City of Newport Beach affordable to households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. According to Table 7, there are 10,350 households in Newport Beach who earn less than 80 percent of AMI, resulting in an estimated need for approximately 5,325 additional housing units that are affordable to households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. In the last decade, the City has established a Task Force that along with staff continually investigates and research potential new affordable housing opportunities to add to its inventory of affordable housing stock. This includes offering incentives to developers of affordable housing, including density bonuses, fee waivers, expedited permit processing, and the use of funds from the Affordable Housing Fund. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 80 OMB Control No: 25060117 (exp. 07/31/2015) In light of limited monetary resources available to create new affordable housing units and the continuing recovery of the Southern California housing market after the recent recession, housing affordability will remain a significant challenge during the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 81 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA -10 Number of Housing Units — 91.210(a) &(b)(2) Introduction According to 2007 -2011 ACS data, 73 percent of the City's housing stock is comprised of single family housing (1 -4 units). Multifamily housing (5+ units) accounts for only 24 percent of total housing units in the City and a majority of these dwelling units are in larger multifamily structures containing more than 20 units. Mobile homes comprise the smallest portion of the housing stock in the City (2 percent). The majority of the City's ownership housing (78 percent) is comprised of larger units containing three or more bedrooms. In comparison, only 23 percent of the City's rental housing is comprised of larger units.

HUD requires that the City undertake an analysis of federal, state and locally assisted housing units that may be lost from the City's affordable housing stock. The expiration of affordability restrictions on government assisted rental units is the typical reason of this potential loss. Much of the housing at -risk of conversion from affordable housing to market rate housing is predominantly reserved for lower income households. Use restrictions, as defined by State law, means any federal, state or local statute, regulation, ordinance or contract which as a condition of receipt of any housing assistance, including a rental subsidy, mortgage subsidy, or mortgage insurance, to an assisted housing development, establishes maximum limitations on tenant income as a condition of eligibility for occupancy. As of October 2013, the City monitors a total of 10 affordable housing projects in Newport Beach. The 10 projects consist of a total of 376 units restricted to low- and moderate - income households. All but two of these 10 projects received some combination of federal, state or local subsidy. Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 83 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Conversion Risk The table above provides an inventory of affordable housing developments in Newport Beach. This table provides information on the funding sources, number of units, target populations, and earliest date of conversion to market -rate housing due to expiration of affordability controls or subsidy contracts. An assessment of this information for the period ending June 30, 2020 revealed that 112 of the 376 affordable housing units are at risk of converting to market rate housing. Preservation and Replacement Options To maintain the existing affordable housing stock, the City may either attempt to preserve the existing assisted units or facilitate the development of new units. Each negotiation to preserve affordable units is unique in the sense that each project's ownership interests and economic needs will vary and City resources may be insufficient to preserve all 376 units. Depending on the circumstances of each project that includes at -risk units, different options may be used to preserve or replace the units. Preservation options typically include: 1) transfer of units to nonprofit ownership; 2) provision of rental assistance to tenants using other funding sources; and 3) purchase of extended affordability covenants. In terms of replacement, the most direct option is the development of new affordable units with long -term covenants. Replacement of the at -risk units is expected through the implementation of the Housing Element Policies, implementation of existing Affordable Housing Implementation Plans, and financial assistance through the Affordable Housing Fund. The City Council has also established an Affordable Housing Task Force that works with developers and landowners to facilitate the development of affordable units, the preservation of at -risk units, and determines the most appropriate use of in -lieu fee funds. Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? The City has a significant need for additional rental housing units — particularly 0, 1 and 2 bedroom units affordable to households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. According to the data discussed in the Needs Assessment, the most common housing problems in the City are cost burden and to a lesser extent, overcrowding. Overcrowding affects 254 low- and moderate - income Newport Beach households, of which 78 percent are renters who have more than 1.01 people per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half- rooms. There are 2,945 renter households who earn less than 50 percent of AMI that are severely cost burdened paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs. Describe the need for specific types of housing: Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 84 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) Of the 2,945 renter households who earn less than 50 percent of AM[ and are severely cost burdened paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs: • 300 are small related households with four or fewer members • 20 are large related households with five or more members • 430 are elderly households with one or more members over the age of 62 • 890 are other /single person households This breakdown by tenure, income, cost burden and household type indicates a need for additional affordable 0, 1 and 2 bedroom rental units in Newport Beach. Discussion For decades, California's housing market has been among the most expensive in the country, and the economic downturn that began toward the latter portion of the last decade has only made the situation worse. Not only is renting expensive, but purchasing a home is also largely out of reach. According to Out of Reach 2014, a report jointly released by the National Low Income Housing Coalition and the Southern California Association of Non Profit Housing (SCANPH), Orange County renters must earn $31.62 per hour or $65,760 per year in order to afford a modest, two- bedroom apartment at Fair Market Rent. At minimum wage, approximately 158 hours of work per week is required in order to afford a modest, two - bedroom apartment at Fair Market Rent in Orange County. By comparison, the national Housing Wage for 2014 was $18.92 and the statewide housing wage was $26.04. As noted in the 2013 -2021 Housing Element, it is the City's goal to encourage the development of an adequate and diverse supply of housing that accommodates the changing housing needs of all Newport Beach residents. Over the next five years the City will strive to meet the following housing goals and priorities: • Quality residential development and preservation, conservation, and appropriate redevelopment of housing stock; • A balanced residential community, comprised of a variety of housing types, designs, and opportunities for all social and economic segments; • Housing opportunities for as many renter and owner occupied households as possible in response to the demand for housing in the City. • Preservation and increased affordability of the City's housing stock for extremely low, very low -, low, and moderate - income households; • Housing opportunities for special needs populations; • Equal housing opportunities for all residents; and Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 85 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) • Effective and responsive housing programs and policies. Through these efforts, the City will strive to maintain a healthy community that encourages family stability and economic growth. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 86 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA -15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction One of the most important factors in evaluating a community s housing market is the cost of housing and whether the housing is affordable to households who live there or would like to live there. If housing costs are relatively high in comparison to household income, a correspondingly high prevalence of housing cost burden and overcrowding will typically occur. Tables 30 and 31 indicate the median home value and contract rent (not including utility or other associated costs). These values are self- reported by residents through the U.S. Census American Community Survey. Based on the reported housing costs, Table 33 indicates the number of units that are currently affordable to households at different levels of the HUD Area Median Income (AMI). It is important to note, that just because a unit is affordable to residents at that income level, it does not necessarily mean that a household at that income level is occupying the unit.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? According to the 2007 -2011 CHAS and ACS data, there is insufficient affordable housing in the City. Table 32 indicates that only 5,619 of the City's 38,045 housing units (14.8 percent) are affordable to households earning 100 percent or less of HAMFI while there are 13,115 such households in Newport Beach. Approximately 3,835 households earning less than 30 percent of AMI reside in the City; however, there are only approximately 455 dwelling units affordable to those at this income level. Similarly, the City has 2,840 households earning between 31 and 50 percent of AMI and only 1,015 housing units affordable to those at this income level. The shortage of affordable units is most prevalent for households with the lowest incomes, but even households earning between 81 and 100 percent AMI will have difficulty finding housing they can afford. The City is home to 2,765 households earning between 81 and 100 percent AMI but only 594 housing units are affordable to those at this income level. Although a housing unit may be considered affordable to a particular income group, this does not necessarily mean that the unit is actually occupied by a household in that income group. Therefore, the affordability mismatches are likely to be more severe than presented by the CHAS data. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 88 OMB Control No: 2506-0317 (exp. 07 /31/2015) How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and /or rents? The data presented in Tables 30 and 31 was sourced from 2007 -2011 during a period of decline in the housing market that temporarily enhanced housing affordability in the City. As the housing market rebounds as expected during the next five years, home values and rents are generally projected to rise, which will further exacerbate housing problems such as cost burden, severe cost burden and overcrowding — particularly for low- and moderate - income households. How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? The median contract rent according to 2007 -2011 ACS data was $1,803, which is slightly more than the Fair Market Rent for a two bedroom unit. According to data in Table 28, 77 percent of rental units have two or fewer bedrooms. According to data in Table 8, 199 renter households are overcrowded or severely overcrowded, which can be attributed to high rents as well as the lack of affordable units with three or more bedrooms. To produce or preserve affordable rental housing units that carry a minimum HOME affordability period of 20 years, significant levels of subsidy are required. Taking only rents into consideration, an owner of a two - bedroom unit would forego $129,120 of operating income when renting the unit at Low HOME rent levels instead of Fair Market Rent. Discussion In the decade between 2000 and 2011, the median home price in Newport Beach increased by 48 percent from $675,800 to $1,000,001 and the median contract rent increased by 50 percent from $1,203 to $1,803 as median income increased by only 31 percent. As a result, Newport Beach households have become increasingly cost - burdened. Data from 2007 -2011 shows that there is an insufficient number of housing units affordable to people with incomes less than 50 percent of AM. In light of scarce land and monetary resources available to create new affordable housing units and the continuing recovery of the Southern California housing market after the recent recession, housing affordability is expected to remain a significant challenge in the next five years. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 89 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 )exp. 07 /31/2015) MA -20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing — 91.210(a) Introduction Assessing housing conditions in the City provides the basis for developing strategies to maintain and preserve the quality of the housing stock. The ACS defines a "selected condition" as owner - or renter - occupied housing units having at least one of the following conditions: 1) lacking complete plumbing facilities; 2) lacking complete kitchen facilities; 3) more than one occupant per room; and 4) selected monthly housing costs greater than 30 percent of household income. Based on the definition of selected conditions, Table 34 shows that 42 percent of owner - occupied households in the City have at least one selected condition and 41 percent of all renter - occupied households in the City have at least one selected condition. Definitions Substandard housing is housing that does not meet the minimum standards contained in the State Housing Code (i.e., does not provide shelter, endangers health, safety or well -being of occupants). A substandard condition is one that affects the health and safety of a resident's habitability. As defined by California Health and Safety Code, a substandard condition exists to the extent that it endangers the health and safety of its occupants or the public. Following is a list of substandard conditions: • Inadequate sanitation • Structural hazards • Any nuisance that endangers the health and safety of the occupants or the public • All substandard plumbing, wiring, and /or mechanical equipment, unless it conformed to all applicable laws in effect at the time of installation and has been maintained in a good and safe condition • Faulty weather protection • The use of construction materials not allowed or approved by the health and safety code • Fire, health and safety hazards (as determined by the appropriate fire or health official) • Lack of, or inadequate fire - resistive construction or fire - extinguishing systems as required by the health and safety code, unless the construction and /or systems conformed to all applicable laws in effect at the time of construction and /or installation and adequately maintained • Inadequate structural resistance to horizontal forces • Buildings or portions thereof occupied for living, sleeping, cooking, or dining purposes that were not designed or intended to be used for such occupancies • Inadequate maintenance that causes a building or any portion thereof to be declared unsafe Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 90 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Standard housing condition in the City of Newport Beach is defined as housing that meets the minimum standards contained in the State Housing Code. For the purposes of the CDBG program, a unit in substandard condition is considered suitable for rehabilitation provided that the unit is structurally sound and the cost of rehabilitation is considered economically warranted.

Housing over 15 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating / air - conditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing fixtures. Commonly, housing over 30 years of age needs some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work and plumbing systems. Due to high household income and high housing values in Newport Beach, housing tends to be better maintained than in many other communities with similar levels of older housing stock. However, despite having sizable equity in their homes, some owner - occupied households (elderly households in particular) have limited incomes and may have difficulty maintaining their homes. According to 2007 -2011 HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, approximately 5,363 or 26 percent of the 20,950 owner - occupied housing units in Newport Beach were built between 15 and 34 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999), with another 12,619 or 60 percent of the 20,950 owner - occupied housing built 34 or more years ago (built prior to 1980). Older subdivisions in the City will demonstrate a significantly higher percentage of older housing units and a higher concentration of lower- income, senior citizens and special needs groups.

Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards Any housing built before 1978 may contain lead -based paint. If ingested, lead may cause severe damage to young children including decreased growth, learning disabilities, impaired hearing, hyperactivity, nerve and brain damage. Lead attacks the central nervous system, the neurological system, and can cause brain damage, IQ reduction, learning disabilities, decreased attention span, hyperactivity, growth inhibition, comas, seizures, and in some cases, death. Fetuses may also experience significant adverse effects through prenatal exposure. Children are more susceptible to the effects of lead because their growing bodies absorb more lead, and young children often put their hands and other objects in their mouths. Most children do not have any symptoms, even if a blood test shows that they have an elevated blood lead level. If a child does have symptoms, the symptoms may be mistaken for the flu or other illnesses. Number of Children with Elevated Blood Levels of Lead The State of California mandates lead screening for all children who participate in publicly funded health programs. In California, screening typically occurs at ages one and two years. A blood level of 10 µg /dL or higher was previously referred to as an "elevated blood level (EBL)." However, as it is now recognized that there is no safe level of lead, and adverse effects occur at levels below 10 itg /cIL, an "elevated" blood lead level is no longer defined at a particular cut point. Therefore, categories indicating increased levels of exposure are presented here. In accordance with State of California regulations, a "case" is defined as a child having a blood lead level equal to or greater than 20 µg /cIL, or persistent levels between 15 -19 M /dL. Once a case is reported, the Orange County Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program is involved in the case management, as described below under the heading "Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPP)." The State records the number of children tested each year, the number of children with blood levels exceeding certain levels, and the number of reported cases. Table 38 shows the number of children tested, BLLs indicating increased exposure, and cases in the City of Newport Beach. Table 38 above provides this data for the prior 5 years. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 93 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Older housing is more likely to have lead -based paint and the amount of lead pigment in the paint tends to increase with the age of the housing. The vast majority of Newport Beach's housing stock (63.8 percent) was built prior to 1979, when the use of lead -based paint was outlawed, therefore the residents of the homes built prior to 1979 are at risk of lead -based paint hazards. If it is assumed that low- and moderate - income residents occupy a percentage of the City's housing units proportional to their population, then as many as 27 percent of all the pre -1980 housing units could reasonably be expected to be occupied by low- and moderate- income families. This number may be even higher, since lower- income households may be more likely to live in older housing than households with greater means. The City estimates the number of housing units occupied by low- and moderate - income families that may have lead paint hazards present to be approximately 6,624. According to Table 37, 1,585 children live in housing units built before 1980. Young children who live in housing built before 1978 could ingest lead -based paint and are thus at higher risk. Discussion As noted in the needs assessment, a large share of owner and renter households experience at least one substandard housing condition. Based on the results of the Needs Assessment, the two most prevalent conditions are cost burden and overcrowding and cost - burden — indicating that the housing stock is suitable for habitation.

The table below illustrates the number of emergency shelter, transitional housing and permanent supportive housing beds that exist within Orange County for different types of homeless households. Seasonal and overflow beds are not allocated by household type, so these are total number of beds for households with adults and children and households with only adults. Between 2013 and 2014, a total of 594 shelter (e.g. emergency, transitional and seasonal /overflow) beds were removed from the Homeless Inventory Count (HIC). The Homeless Count & Survey Report suggests the reasons for the removal of these shelter beds were either because the program was not restricted to homeless persons or the program closed due to a loss of funding. Despite the reduction of almost 600 total beds in the HIC between 2013 and 2014, 847 permanent supportive housing beds were added to the Homeless Inventory County. This increase in permanent supportive housing for the most vulnerable populations is attributed to Orange County homeless service providers re- tooling their programs and shifting their focus to moving people quickly into permanent housing.

These programs provide clients with employment assistance, discounted food, medical care, child care, and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing and transportation. The California Work Opportunities for Kids (CaIWORKs) program provides financial assistance and Welfare -to -Work services to California families with little to no cash. Through this program these needy families may be eligible to receive immediate short-term help with housing, food, utilities, clothing or medical care. Child care is also available through this program. CalFresh, formerly the Food Stamp Program, is a nutritional assistance program that provides Electronic Benefit Transfer Cards to people on public assistance to purchase food and other essential items. The Medi -Cal program provides health coverage for people with low income and limited ability to pay for health coverage, including the aged, blind, disabled, young adults and children, pregnant women, persons in a skilled nursing or intermediate care home, and persons in the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program (BCCTP). People receiving federally funded cash assistance programs, such as CalWORKs (a state implementation of the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program), the State Supplementation Program (SSP) (a state supplement to the federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program), foster care, adoption assistance, certain refugee assistance programs, or In -Home Supportive Services (IHSS) are also eligible. HUD - Funded Activities Congress designed the CDBG, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs to serve low- income people, some of which may meet the federal poverty definition, and at least 51 percent of whom are low- and moderate - income individuals and families. At least 70 percent of all CDBG funds must be used for activities that are considered under program rules to benefit low- to moderate - income persons. Additionally, every CDBG activity must meet one of three national objectives to: benefit low- and moderate - income persons (at least 51 percent of the beneficiaries must be low- to moderate - income); address slums or blight; or meet a particularly urgent community development need. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 99 OMB Control No: 250 6-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015( Under the HOME program, households must earn no more than 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), adjusted for household size, to be eligible for assistance. Furthermore, 90 percent of a HOME Participating Jurisdiction's (PJ's) annual HOME allocation that is invested in affordable rental housing must be directed to assist households earning no more than 60 percent of AMI. The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program provides homeless persons with basic shelter and essential supportive services. This program may also assist with the operational costs of a shelter facility and for the administration of the grant. ESG also provides short-term homeless prevention assistance to persons at imminent risk of losing their own housing due to eviction, foreclosure, or utility shutoffs. Orange County's ESG program is administered through the County of Orange and its continuum of care provider 2 -1 -1 Orange County (merged with O.C. Partnership in 2014). 2 -1 -1 Orange County supports, creates, and sustains solutions to homelessness in Orange County by providing leadership, advocacy, planning and management of program funding. 2 -1 -1 Orange County provides funding and guidance for a vast network of local, non - profit agencies with missions to help people leave homelessness permanently. These agencies are dedicated to providing as much assistance as possible, including emergency shelter, to help homeless persons with housing, case management, counseling, advocacy, substance abuse programs, and other specialized services. List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP -40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA -35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations. For many Orange County residents, the first entry into the CoC is through an emergency shelter, where individuals and families obtain emergency housing and supportive services directed to getting people off the streets and into a safe environment. The next component of the CoC is transitional housing, designed as short -term housing for up to two years, where persons move into a more stabilized housing arrangement than an emergency shelter. The final component of the CoC is permanent housing, both with and without supportive services. The ultimate goal of the CoC system is to move people toward housing alternatives where they are able to reside permanently in safe and sanitary housing. The figure above entitled "Homeless Service Providers and Facilities in Orange County" lists the different facilities and service agencies in Orange County that serve the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 100 OMB Control No: 25060117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) MA -35 Special Needs Facilities and Services — 91.210(d) Introduction Special needs populations consist of persons who are not homeless but due to various reasons are in need of services and supportive housing. The City of Newport Beach will consider allocating CDBG public service funding to various programs that provide services to special needs populations, including but not limited to those serving the elderly, frail elderly, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, mentally disabled, alcohol or substance abusers, persons with HIV /AIDS, victims of domestic violence, victims of human trafficking and veterans with PTSD or other needs. Elderly is defined under the CDBG program as a person who is 62 years of age or older. Based on 2007 -2011 CHAS data, of the 7,705 households containing at least one elderly person, 23 percent (1,740 households) earn less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income for Orange County. People with disabilities have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Based on ACS data, of the total Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population (85,654) in Newport Beach, 6,013 persons have a disability. Of these 6,013 disabled persons, 1,761 are between the ages of 18 -64 years of age. Drug abuse or substance abuse is defined as the use of chemical substances that lead to an increased risk of problems and an inability to control the use of the substance. According to the Indicators of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Report for Orange County, by the Center for Applied Research Solutions, there were 406 admissions for alcohol and other drug treatment per 100,000 people in Orange County compared to the state average of 592 admissions in 2008. HIV is a virus that weakens the immune system by destroying important cells that fight diseases and infection. AIDS is the final stage of HIV. Orange County's Health Care Agency Department of Disease Control and Epidemiology reported 6,215 residents with HIV in 2013. Domestic Violence includes, but is not limited to felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a current or former spouse of the victim or by a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabited with the victim. In 2013, the Newport Beach Police Department responded to a total of 175 calls related to domestic violence. Of these calls, 164 of these domestic incidents did not involve a weapon. Human trafficking is a crime that involves the forceful, fraudulent or coercive methods of entrapping a person, real or perceived, in an attempt to exploit them for financial gain. The Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 101 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31 /2015) exploitative nature can come in the form of labor services, involuntary servitude, enslavement, debt bondage or commercial sex acts. As of December 2012, the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force reported a total of 213 incidents of human trafficking in Orange County. PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of a life - threatening event such as military combat, natural disaster, terrorist incident, serious accident, physical or sexual assault. Most survivors of trauma experience a variety of symptoms for a short period of time. However, others will have stress reactions that do not subside on their own and may get worse over time.lncluding the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV /AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs To determine the level of need and types of services needed by special needs populations, the City conducted surveys, consulted with local service providers and reviewed ACS and CHAS data. Supportive services required for special needs populations include case management, medical or psychological counseling and supervision, childcare, transportation and job training provided for the purpose of facilitating a person's stability and independence. In housing, accessibility modifications to accommodate persons with mobility disabilities may include, but are not limited to, wider doorways, no step thresholds, installation of ramps, grab bars, lowered countertops and accessible hardware. The needs of residents with sensory disabilities are different from those with mobility disabilities. Individuals with hearing disabilities require visual adaptations for such items as the telephone ringer, the doorbell and smoke alarms. Residents who are blind may require tactile marking of changes in floor level and stair edges and braille markings on appliances and controls. People with low vision may require large print markings and displays, contrasting colors to distinguish changes in level or transition from one area to another, proper lighting, and reduced glare from lighting and windows. For persons with special needs, the high cost of living in Orange County makes it very difficult for to maintain a stable residence. Often this segment of the population relies on support services from various Orange County nonprofit organizations to avoid becoming homeless or institutionalized. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH OMB Control No: 25060117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 102 Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing Inadequate discharge planning and coordination contributes to homelessness in situations where people are released from public institutions or public systems of care without having an appropriate mainstream or supportive housing option is available upon discharge from an institutional setting. In other states such as North Carolina and Kentucky, discharge coordination and planning is a matter of state law. In California, discharge coordination and planning is largely unregulated unless county or municipal ordinances provide rules preventing public institutions from discharging people into homelessness. One of the goals included in the Orange County Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness is to support the development of community resources and housing options so that hospitals, jails, and foster care programs can more effectively assist people being discharged by providing appropriate referrals in order to facilitate smoother transition to supportive or mainstream housing. The goal calls for the CoC to explore methods to increase communication and coordination among institutions. In some cases, licensed community care facilities provide a supportive housing environment to persons with special needs in a group setting. According to the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division, the only community care beds in Newport Beach (405) are for elderly persons ages 60 or above contained within 13 facilities. Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one -year goals. 91.315(e) See response below pertaining to entitlement cities. For entitlement /consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one -year goals. (91.220(2)) During the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan period, the Strategic Plan calls for the City to use CDBG funds to support public services for people with special needs services including, but not limited to those serving the elderly, frail elderly and victims of domestic violence or other needs. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 103 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) In the 2015 -2016 Annual Action Plan, the City will provide CDBG public service funds to the following activities addressing special needs populations: Elderly and Frail Elderly Age Well Senior Services: Home Delivered Meals Program (112 people) Domestic Violence Human Options: Domestic Violence Services Program (10 people) Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 104 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) MA -40 Barriers to Affordable Housing — 91.210(e) Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing. Barriers can include 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 2013 -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. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 105 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA -45 Non - Housing Community Development Assets — 91.215 (f) Introduction The City places a high priority on non - housing community development needs including those associated with improving public facilities, such as senior center and ADA improvements. During the implementation of the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan, the City will use CDBG funds to address these needs and provide a suitable living environment for low- and moderate - income people. To expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate- income people and provide a pathway out of poverty, the Strategic Plan and the 2015 -2016 Annual Action Plan include public service programs that support family self- sufficiency, such as the Families Forward Housing Program. This approach fulfills several needs in the community including housing instability and ensuring that all persons have the opportunity to succeed without regard to family economic status.

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: A diverse group of leading employers in healthcare, management, professional services, education, research and retail in Newport Beach benefit from the ever growing opportunities and expansion that the City offers as a result of access to professional offices, industrial parks, and retail shopping centers. Recognizing that the business community needs a workforce that is prepared for a 21st century global economy the City of Newport Beach is forward thinking and consistently focusing on change and advancement, making it the ideal place to live and work. The business community in Newport Beach which includes, but is not limited to Hoag Memorial Hospital, PIMCO, Glidewell Dental, and Pacific Life relies on a highly educated workforce. The City of Newport Beach is fortunate to be located in an area that is home to 44 colleges and universities. As a result, the City has a workforce that is ready to meet the needs of the business community. Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. The City is constantly working on projects that not only benefit the residents of the area but also have an economic impact to the area. As an example, the City is currently working with Hyundai Capital to establish their offices at 4000 McArthur Boulevard. The project calls for Hyundai Corporation occupying all ten floors of the office tower. In addition, the City is working with the developers of 4311 Jamboree Road to construct a mixed used project. The project is located on a 25 acre site and would include a mixed -use residential development with up to 1,244 residential units (townhomes and apartments) and 11,500 square feet of retail space. The project will begin construction in late summer 2015. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 109 CMe Control No: 25060117 (exp. 07/31/2015) How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? The majority of employees in the civilian labor force have a post- secondary education, which is beneficial because the fastest growing occupational sectors offer jobs that require higher education and training. Generally, the skills and education of the current workforce in Newport Beach correspond to the employment opportunities in the City. With the wide variety of job opportunities available in the City, Newport Beach's current workforce place a high importance on proximity to employment, with 73 percent of the workforce commuting less than 30 minutes to work each day according to Table 46. Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. The Newport Beach Valley College Community Education ( IVCEE) office located at 5500 Newport Beach Center Drive contributes to economic vitality by providing training, education, and community based programs that lead to success, employment and positive growth. This office provides services for the Community Adult Education Program, which includes the Workforce Training Program, Building Businesses Program, Writing, Computers and Social Sports Activities. IVCCE programs are available to assist low- and moderate - income people with regard to business assistance skills and vocational training along with various other forms of assistance. Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? Yes If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local /regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth. The City of Newport Beach was included as part of the CEDS prepared by the Orange County Workforce Investment Board (OCWIB) for 2013 -2018. Every five years, OCWIB develops the CEDS for the region to present the current condition of the Orange County economy and its impact on residents and businesses. The analysis identifies economically vulnerable areas suitable for economic development investment by considering indicators such as unemployment, income and education as well as infrastructure, business activity and economic competitiveness relative to other markets. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 110 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) The 2013 -2018 CEDS identifies several goals to promote the expansion of economic opportunity in Orange County. The CEDS identifies geographic locations with higher unemployment and substantially lower levels of income relative to the rest of the County in order to target future economic development projects or other investments. Although the City of Newport Beach is not specifically identified as a Red -Zone (cities or census tracts with abnormally high unemployment rates or per capita income levels far below the standard), the City has adopted the goals put forth by the CEDS. The goals put forth by the CEDS are as follows: Goal 1: Advance the Lives of Red -Zone Residents Goal 2: Provide World -Class Education and Workforce Opportunities Goal 3: Plan and Develop State -of- the -Art Infrastructure Goal 4: Promote Competitive and Growing Clusters Goal 5: Improve Orange County's Economic Competitiveness in a Global Economy The 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan includes a strategy that provides for CDBG capital improvement funds for the Commercial Facade Improvement Program. The Commercial Facade Improvement Program will contribute to a stronger retail environment and promote economic and job opportunities for local low- and moderate income residents. Discussion Newport Beach's location at the center of Orange County and adjacent to Los Angeles, San Diego and Riverside Counties makes it a highly desirable location for a wide variety of businesses. In addition, Newport Beach's infrastructure, focus on safety, and highly skilled workforce make it an ideal place for small and large companies to call home. In fact, Newport Beach is home to a variety of world class companies including but not limited to PIMCO, Glidewell Dental, Pacific Life, Jazz Semiconductor and Fletcher Jones Motor Cars. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 111 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA -50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration ") Based on a review of CPD Maps, there are no specific areas of the City where multiple housing problems are concentrated. All Census Tracts in the City experience cost burden to some extent. Evaluation of maps showing housing overcrowding and substandard housing did not reveal discernable concentrations, although housing overcrowding is more prevalent for extremely -low income households in the low- and moderate - income Census Tract Block Groups. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low- income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration') According to Figure 14, there are two Census Tracts that have a higher level of concentration of people of Asian descent. These two Census Tracts are located in the easterly part of the City with between 11.99 and 27.12 percent of the Asian population concentrated in that area. There are no neighborhoods or Census Tracts with high concentrations of low- income families in in Newport Beach. As a result, HUD considers the City as an exception community. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas /neighborhoods? Generally, Newport Beach is comprised of multi - cultural mixed income neighborhoods. In the Census Tracts that contain a higher concentration of the Asian in terms of race, the housing and economic indicators are generally consistent with the City as a whole according to CPD Maps data. Are there any community assets in these areas /neighborhoods? Each neighborhood throughout the City of Newport Beach contains its own unique community assets including open space, trails, recreational areas, schools, job centers, retail and restaurants. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? There are no readily apparent strategic opportunities to be addressed with CDBG funds specific to any of these neighborhoods. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 112 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Strategic Plan SP -05 Overview Strategic Plan Overview The Strategic Plan is a guide for the City of Newport Beach to establish its housing and community development priorities, objectives and strategies for the investment of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) over the next five years, beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2020. The priority needs and goals established in this Strategic Plan (Plan) are based on analysis of information including the results of the City's 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey and housing and community development data elements required by HUD in the online Consolidated Plan system (the eCon Planning Suite) from the 2007 -2011 American Community Survey (ACS) 5 -Year Estimates and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) covering the same time period. Additional sources of information used to identify needs and establish priorities were obtained through consultation with local nonprofit agencies involved in the development of affordable housing and the delivery of public services to children, families, elderly persons and persons with special needs throughout the community. In consideration of community input and available data, the six priority needs listed below are established as part of this Plan. • Ensure equal access to housing opportunities • Provide public services for low- income residents • Provide public services for residents with special needs • Prevent and eliminate homelessness • Strengthen Economic Opportunity • Improve public facilities and infrastructure Consistent with HUD's national goals for the CDBG programs to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate - income residents, the priority needs listed above will be addressed over the next five years through the implementation of CDBG funded activities aligned with the following nine measurable Strategic Plan goals: • Fair housing services • Public services Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 113 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) • Special needs services • Homelessness prevention services • Commercial facade improvements • Public facilities and infrastructure improvements Historically, the City of Newport Beach has used the CDBG programs to fund nonprofit agencies that provide direct services to City of Newport Beach residents. Over the next five years, the City will continue this emphasis and will also use these resources to support City sponsored programs and activities that support the goals and objectives of this Plan.

Evaluation of maps generated through HUD's Community Planning and Development mapping system (CPD Maps) reveals that each of the Census Tracts in the City of Newport Beach has a median household income of $80,000 or more with the exception of the western most Census Tract. The lower median income level in the area may be attributed to the large number of renter occupied units combined with the larger percentage of structures with 20 plus units. Based on evaluation of CPD Maps data, there are no areas within the City exhibiting a greater level of need for affordable housing or services for low- and moderate - income residents; therefore, no geographic priorities are established within the Consolidated Plan and allocation priorities will be driven by citywide need.

Rehabilitation The City will invest other local, state or federal funding sources in addressing residential rehabilitation needs to preserve the supply of ownership housing. 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. Acquisition, As the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis in this document have clearly including shown, thousands of Newport Beach households are cost burdened and likely preservation eligible for newly acquired and rehabilitated affordable housing units. The City of Newport Beach will use other local, state or federal resources during the period of this Consolidated Plan to acquire or preserve housing units to create additional affordability in the community.

Homelessness prevention and supportive services for special needs populations are included among the priority needs in this Strategic Plan and activities serving these populations may be funded as part of the Annual Action Plan each year. Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above Newport Beach has established successful partnerships among public and private sector entities in Orange County providing services for the homeless and other special needs populations. Communication and cooperation between the Planning Division of the City of Newport Beach Community Development Department - Planning Division and the partner agencies and organizations that administer activities is strong. The Planning Division works closely with these organizations to improve regulatory compliance, monitoring, cooperation and partnerships among agencies and technical capacity of organizations involved in project delivery. With a wide variety of service providers available to address the needs of homeless populations and special needs populations, the single most significant gap in the service delivery system remains the lack of available funding to support these local programs. In Newport Beach, this funding is limited to 15 percent of the annual allocation of CDBG funds. The City is not a direct recipient of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds; therefore, most of the HUD funding to address homelessness is available through the County of Orange and the CoC. State funding has been drastically reduced by several years of fiscal challenges for the State of California; private sources have diminished as foundation endowments have suffered in recent years. Finally, as the City's HUD grants have steadily declined over the last 12 years, it has been difficult to accommodate increasing levels of need in the community and increases in the cost of providing services to homeless and special needs populations.

OCHA is actively seeking opportunities for additional VASH, NED and other vouchers that serve disabled residents. OCHA also takes the following steps proactively to serve the needs of disabled residents: • When requested by an individual, assist program applicants and participants to gain access to support services available within the community, but not require eligible applicant or participant to accept supportive services as a condition of continued participation in the program. • Not deny persons who qualify for a Housing Choice Voucher under this program other housing opportunities, or otherwise restrict access to OCHA programs to eligible applicants who choose not to participate. • Provide housing search assistance when requested. Lists of available units that include accessible units for persons with disabilities are provided to participants. This list is updated weekly and is available in the Lobby. Upon request, a referral list may also be obtained by email, or by fax. • In accordance with rent reasonableness requirements, approve higher rents to owners that provide accessible units with structural modifications for persons with disabilities. • Provide technical assistance, through referrals to the Fair Housing Council of Orange County, to owners interested in making reasonable accommodations or units accessible to persons with disabilities. Activities to Increase Resident Involvements 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.

Barriers can include 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 2013 -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. Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the City has established a Task Force that along with staff continually investigate and research potential new affordable housing opportunities to add to its inventory of affordable housing stock. This includes offering incentives to developers of affordable housing, including density bonuses, fee waivers, expedited permit processing, and the use of funds from the Affordable Housing Fund. In light of limited monetary resources available to create new affordable housing units and the continuing recovery of the Southern California housing market after the recent recession, housing affordability will remain a significant challenge during the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan. Consolidated Plan NEWPORTBEACH 136 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) SP -60 Homelessness Strategy— 91.215(d) Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through coordination of regional strategies carried out locally by government agencies and a wide variety of community based organizations and faith -based groups. Consistent with this approach, the City of Newport Beach supports the efforts of Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC) and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout Orange County. In alignment with this strategy, the City will use CDBG funds to support local service providers with programs to prevent homelessness and to expand the supply of affordable housing in Newport Beach for low- and moderate - income residents. According to the Ten -Year Plan to End Homelessness in Orange County adopted in 2012 (Ten - Year Plan), the CoC is in the process of implementing several regional strategies that will enhance local coordination to more effectively assist people in need. To more rapidly identify and assess people experiencing homelessness, the CoC is working to create regional homeless access centers that will offer fully coordinated systems of outreach and will facilitate universal assessment, intake, referral and transportation to resources. The CoC is also developing resources of information (such as 2 -1 -1) to better serve individuals who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. In addition, the CoC is working to implement a database using real time information from intake and assessment that is housed in the Homeless Management Information System (HIMS). Collectively these strategies will help minimize duplication of effort and better connect the most vulnerable individuals and families, chronically homeless, and people at risk of becoming homeless to appropriate resources. Since the adoption of the Ten -Year Plan in 2012, the CoC has taken initial steps toward fully coordinated systems of outreach and assessment. The merger of OC Partnerships and 2 -1 -1 OC immediately resulted in the creation of a single, comprehensive information and referral system. The CoC also completed the inventory of existing access centers in Orange County and developed a map showing the locations of each access center. The CoC also conducts informational outreach presentations concerning homelessness in Orange County throughout the community. Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The ultimate solution to ending homelessness is transitional to permanent housing closely aligned with supportive services that ensure housing stability can be maintained. However, because the demand for affordable housing far outpaces the region's supply, the CoC continues to rely on its emergency and transitional housing system in order to address the immediate needs of Orange County's homeless population. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 137 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) Under the Ten -Year Plan, the CoC is improving the efficacy of emergency shelters and the access system until a year -round permanent emergency shelter can be established to replace various seasonal emergency shelters and the County's Armory Cold Weather Shelter program. In 2013, the CoC and County identified $4.5 million in local funds to support the development of year -round emergency shelters and multi- service centers in Orange County. Over the next five years the CoC and the County will continue to search for an appropriate location for this new shelter. For transitional housing, the Ten -Year Plan recognizes a need to maintain a level of transitional housing for the target populations that benefit most from a staged approach to housing, such as mentally ill and chronically homeless individuals. While the CoC continues to support transitional housing in special circumstances, the CoC is currently examining ways to shorten stays in emergency shelters and transitional housing so that resources may be used for rapid re- housing or placement in permanent supportive housing. 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. In support of CoC efforts, this Strategic Plan provides for the use of CDBG funds to support activities implemented by local nonprofit organizations that provide services to help prevent and eliminate homelessness, including families at risk of homelessness, veterans, victims of domestic violence and emancipated foster youth. The City will also leverage CDBG funds to expand the supply of affordable housing in Newport Beach. Additional efforts are underway at the regional level to shorten the period of time that individuals and families are experience homelessness and to prevent individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. In 2013, 2 -1 -1 OC hosted a regional workshop to analyze the resources and funding being used to operate transitional housing programs and consider how these resources could be used more in alignment with the best practices (i.e. rapid re- housing and permanent housing) for ending homelessness. Many transitional housing providers are working with the Commission to End Homelessness to evaluate strategies to lower program threshold requirements and improve outcomes including shorter shelter stays and more rapid transitions to permanent housing.

Homelessness often results from a complex set of circumstances that require people to choose between food, shelter and other basic needs. Examples of common circumstances that can cause homelessness include eviction, loss of income, insufficient income, disability, increase in the cost of housing, discharge from an institution, irreparable damage or deterioration to housing, and fleeing from family violence. The most effective and cost efficient means to address homelessness is to prevent episodes of homelessness from occurring in the first place. Orange County's current CoC system encourages services aimed at reducing incidences of homelessness, including: • Emergency Rental and Utility Assistance: Short -term financial assistance to prevent eviction and utility shut -off. • Credit Counseling: Financial counseling and advocacy to assist households to repair credit history. • Legal /Mediation Services: Tenant - landlord legal /mediation services to prevent eviction. • Food Banks and Pantries: Direct provision of food, toiletries and other necessities. • Transportation Assistance: Direct provision of bus vouchers and other forms of transportation assistance. • Clothing Assistance: Direct provision of clothing for needy families and individuals. • Prescription /Medical /Dental Services: Direct provision of prescription, medical and dental services. • Workforce Development: Direct provision of job training services designed to develop and enhance employment skills, as well as to help clients secure and retain living wage jobs. • Information & Referral Services: Direct provision of 24hour /7- days -a -week call center services to provide health and human service information to at -risk populations. • Recuperative care for homeless individuals who become ill or injured. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 139 OMB Control No: 25060117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP -65 Lead based paint Hazards — 91.215(i) Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing -based approaches. This strategy requires the City to implement programs that protect children living in older housing from lead hazards. Overall, the City has a relatively older housing stock, with 24,274 of the City's 38,048 total housing units (63.8 percent) built before 1980 according to ACS data. These units have the potential to contain lead -based paint. In these units, the best way to have reasonable assurance that lead -based paint hazards are not present is to have the painted surfaces tested. According to the standard lead paint testing costs, a typical lead -based paint screening survey costs approximately $450. To reduce lead -based paint hazards, the City of Newport Beach takes the following actions: • Monitor the lead- poisoning data maintained by the Orange County Department of Health Services (OCDHS). According to OCDHS, there were 13 incidents of Newport Beach children with blood lead levels greater than 9.5 micrograms per deciliter from 2009 -2013. • Educate residents on the health hazards of lead -based paint through the use of brochures and encourage screening children for elevated blood -lead levels. • Disseminate brochures about lead hazards through organizations such as the Fair Housing Foundation and the City's Building Department. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Over time, the actions listed above will promote greater awareness of the hazards of lead - based paint to children and will also address unsafe housing conditions in pre -1978 units where children may potentially be exposed to lead -based paint hazards. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The City of Newport Beach does not currently implement a Residential Rehabilitation Program, however if they are to implement such a program in the future, 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. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 140 OMB Control No: 25060117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP -70 Anti - Poverty Strategy— 91.215(j) Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty -Level Families Similar to other communities in Orange County and across the nation, poverty continues to be a significant challenge. According to the 2007 -2011 American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates, there are 6,007 Newport Beach residents living in poverty. In an effort to meaningfully address this challenge, all nine goals of the 2015 -2019 Strategic Plan are aligned to support activities that promote the availability of affordable housing and provide essential services that directly benefit low- and moderate- income residents. In the implementation of the Plan, the City will prioritize funding for activities that most effectively address the Plan goals over the next five years. This strategy will emphasize using CDBG funds to help individuals and families rise out of poverty to long -term self- sufficiency. The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals established in this 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 moderate - income households, including projects approved under the State Density Bonus law and other projects undertaken with the City's Affordable Housing Trust Fund ; • Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness; • Supporting housing preservation programs through the County that assure low income households have a safe, decent and appropriate place to live; • Supporting public services through the 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 City's Commercial Fagade 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 CaIWORKs, 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. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 141 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan Newport Beach and much of Orange County is a high housing cost area. Although housing costs temporarily declined and became more affordable during the recent economic recession, rents in Newport Beach have since surpassed their pre- recession levels and are currently out of reach for many individuals and families. National funding limitations on Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and long application wait lists for both conventional public housing and City sponsored affordable housing limit the number of families in poverty that can benefit from these programs. The goals of the Plan are aligned to benefit low- and moderate - income residents in an effort to reduce the number of poverty -level families. The Youth Services, Senior Services and Special Needs Services goals will each fund activities targeted to families in poverty and other low- and moderate - income households with specific service needs. Providing this range of targeted services allows children, families and seniors in Newport Beach appropriate support and resources to rise from poverty and become more self- sufficient. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) 142 SP -80 Monitoring- 91.230 Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long -term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements To ensure that CDBG funds are used efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulations, the City provides technical assistance to all subrecipients at the beginning of each program year and monitors subrecipients throughout the program year. Technical Assistance To enhance compliance with federal program regulations, the City provides an annual Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) workshop to review the Plan goals, program requirements and available resources with potential applicants. Subsequent to the approval of the Annual Action Plan, a mandatory subrecipient workshop is held to review program regulations in detail, to provide useful forms and resources for documenting compliance and to review the City's compliance procedures and requirements. Additionally, individualized technical assistance is provided on an as- needed basis throughout a program year. Activity Monitoring All activities are monitored, beginning with a detailed review upon receipt of an application to determine eligibility, conformance with a National Objective and conformance with a Plan goal. This review also examines the proposed use of funds, eligibility of the service area, eligibility of the intended beneficiaries and likelihood of compliance with other federal requirements such as the National Environmental Policy Act, the System for Award Management (SAM) debarment list, prevailing wage, Minority and Women Business Enterprise, Section 3 and federal acquisition and relocation regulations, as applicable. Subrecipients are required to submit an audit and other documentation to establish their capacity, and any findings noted in the audit are reviewed with the applicant. Eligible applications are then considered for funding. Once funded, desk monitoring includes ongoing review of required quarterly performance reports. For CDBG public service activities, an on -site monitoring is conducted once every two (2) years, or more frequently as needed to ensure compliance. These reviews include both a fiscal and programmatic review of the subrecipient's activities. The reviews determine if the subrecipient is complying with the program regulations and City contract. Areas routinely reviewed include overall administration, financial systems, appropriateness of program expenditures, program delivery, client eligibility determination and Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 143 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) documentation, reporting systems, and achievement toward achieving contractual goals. Following the monitoring visit, a written report is provided delineating the results of the review and any findings of non - compliance and the required corrective action. Subrecipients normally have 30 days to provide the City with corrective actions taken to address any noted findings. Individualized technical assistance is provided, as noted above, as soon as compliance concerns are identified. For CDBG capital projects, monitoring also includes compliance with regulatory agreement requirements.

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 residents. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG funds through the 2015 -2016 Action Plan in projects that provide public services to low - and moderate - income people and those with special needs and projects that prevent homelessness and strengthen economic opportunities for the low- and moderate - income residents of Newport Beach.

Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 154 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Affordable Housing AP -55 Affordable Housing — 91.220(g) Introduction Although there are two high priority affordable housing needs that have been identified in the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan, the City of Newport Beach will attempt to leverage other funding sources such as the Affordable Housing Trust Fund to address the priority needs associated with affordable housing needs identified below. Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing Based on evaluation of 2007 -2011 ACS and CHAS data, there is a high 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. 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 some form of major 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 Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 155 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 34 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999). • 12,619 or 61 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.

Consolidated Plan NEWPORTBEACH 156 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015( 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. The data presented in the tables below is for Newport Beach and the narrative responses address the needs for the entire county, with specific references to the City of Newport Beach. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing In the upcoming five years, OCHA's goals are • 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 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 Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 157 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) 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. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 158 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i) Introduction The City will invest CDBG funds during the 2015 -2016 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 results of the most recent data available from the bi- annual Point -In -Time Homeless Count (PIT Count) held on January 26, 2013, on any given night in Orange County, approximately 4,300 people are homeless, and over a course of a year, more than 12,700 people will experience homelessness. To address incidences of homelessness in Newport Beach and to prevent extremely -low income Newport Beach 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. 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 activities: • Families Forward: Housing Program (165 people) • Human Options: Community Domestic Violence Services (10 people) Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 159 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 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 165 unduplicated people. Additionally, the City supports Human Options, an organization providing emergency shelter and support services to victims of domestic violence. The Human Options Family Healing Center is an on -site short -term transitional housing program with five self- contained apartments for abused women and their children who have successfully completed the 30 -45 day emergency shelter program and are eligible to participate in the Family Healing Center program for up to three months. 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 WISEPlace. 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 165 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. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 160 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 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 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 ending and preventing homelessness a high priority and 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. Consolidated Plan NEWPORTBEACH 161 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015( 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 2013 -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 2013 -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. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 162 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) Discussion: To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the City will invest Affordable Housing Trust Fund resources to incentivize the development of affordable housing during the five -year period of the Consolidated Plan. In addition, the City will continue to work with the County and refer low- and moderate income residents for participation in their Housing Rehabilitation Program. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 163 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) AP -85 Other Actions — 91.220(k) Introduction: In the implementation of the 2015 -2016 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, reduce the number of poverty -level families, develop institutional structure and enhance coordination between public and private social service agencies. 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 2015 -2016 Action Plan in projects that provide assistance to those with special needs, projects that prevent homelessness, and strengthen economic opportunities 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 2015- 2016 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 In the implementation of the 2015 -2016 Annual Action Plan, the City will continue to look at alternate funding sources and programs to preserve and maintain existing affordable housing such as the County's Residential Rehabilitation Program. Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards The City of Newport Beach does not currently implement a Residential Rehabilitation Program, however if they are to implement such a program in the future, 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: Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 164 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) • Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and 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 Facade 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 Engineering 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. Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 165 OMB Control No: 25060117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies 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. Discussion: In the implementation of the 2015 -2016 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, reduce the number of poverty -level families, develop institutional structure and enhance coordination between public and private social service agencies.

The Citizen Participation Plan covers the five -year Consolidated Plan, each subsequent Annual Action Plan, each year's Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report and any amendments to the Consolidated Plan or its five Annual Action Plans. Developed as a stand -alone document in conformance with the requirements set forth at 24 CFR 91.105, the City's Citizen Participation Plan is as follows: Purpose of and Accessibility to the Citizen Participation Plan The City of Newport Beach is an entitlement jurisdiction receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Pursuant to the program regulations, the City is required to prepare a five -year Consolidated Plan and annual updates to guide and report on the use of CDBG funds. Annual reviews of program performance are also required. This Citizen Participation Plan sets forth the City of Newport Beach's policies and procedures for citizen participation in the development of the Consolidated Plan documents and any subsequent amendments. The Citizen Participation Plan provides an opportunity for nonprofit service agencies and the community to work in partnership with the City to identify needs and allocate CDBG funds. While this plan encourages the participation of all citizens, special assurances will be made to ensure the participation of the following: extremely low -, low -, and moderate - income persons; persons living in areas where federal funds are proposed to be used; persons living in slum and blighted areas (if any); residents of assisted housing; residents of predominantly low- and moderate - income neighborhoods; low income residents of target revitalization areas; minorities; non - English speaking persons; and persons with physical or mental disabilities.

Plan Review and Comment The draft Citizen Participation Plan shall be made available for public review for a 30 -day period. Written comments will be accepted during the 30 -day public review. A summary of the comments, views, and City responses shall be attached to the public hearing draft of the Citizen Participation Plan. Public Hearing City of Newport Beach 3 Citizen Participation Plan The City Council shall conduct a public hearing to accept public comments on the draft Citizen Participation Plan. After public comments are heard and considered by the City Council, it shall approve the Citizen Participation Plan. ii. Plan Amendment The City can make amendments to the Citizen Participation Plan through the following amendment process: Public Hearing The City Council shall conduct a public hearing to accept public comments on the draft amended Citizen Participation Plan. After public comments are heard and considered by the City Council, it shall approve the amended Citizen Participation Plan. b. Five -Year Consolidated Plan i. Plan Development During the development of the Five -Year Consolidated Plan, the City will consult the following services /agencies to solicit their input on housing and community development needs: • Local health services providers • Social service providers including but not limited to those concerning children, elderly, disabled, homeless and persons with HIV /AIDS • The homeless Continuum of Care • State and local health agencies • Adjacent local governments • Economic development interests including businesses and chambers of commerce • Community and faith -based organizations • Public Housing Agencies • Housing developers A variety of mechanisms may be utilized to solicit input from these persons, service providers, or agencies. These include telephone or personal interviews, mail surveys and consultation workshops. ii. Public Review and Comment City of Newport Beach 4 Citizen Participation Plan The draft Consolidated Plan will be made available for public review for a 30- day period.

Plan Amendment Substantial Change The City will formally amend its approved Five -Year Consolidated Plan whenever a decision is made to propose a substantial change in allocation priorities or method of distribution of funds. For the purpose of the Five -Year Consolidated Plan, a "substantial change" will constitute a cumulative change equal to or in excess of 20% of the City's CDBG entitlement for a program year. For example, if the Five -Year Consolidated Plan's Priority Needs Summary Table indicates a "Low Priority Need" for multi - family housing rehabilitation, and during the five -year time frame, the City changes the priority level to "High" in order to implement a multi - family rehabilitation program using 20% or more of the City's annual CDBG allocation; this change would constitute a substantial change to the Five -Year Consolidated Plan and a formal amendment to the Plan is required. Changes in the allocation priorities not amounting to 20% of the entitlement will not be considered as a substantial change to the Five -Year Consolidated Plan; therefore, no formal amendment to the Plan requiring public review and comment will be warranted. City Council approval of the priority changes is still required. However, if a program or type of programs is indicated in the Five -Year Consolidated Plan as "No Such Need," the City will need to amend the Consolidated Plan in order to implement the program(s) regardless of the level of funding. A change from "No Such Need" to a Low, Medium, or High level priority is considered by HUD as a substantial amendment to the Consolidated Plan. v. Public Review and Comment Substantial amendments to the Consolidated Plan will be made available for a 30 -day public review. Written comments will be accepted during the 30 -day City of Newport Beach 5 Citizen Participation Plan public review period.

The URA applies to: • Displacement that results from acquisition, demolition, or rehabilitation for HUD - assisted projects carried out by public agencies, nonprofit organizations, private developers, or others. • Real property acquisition for HUD - assisted projects (whether publicly or privately undertaken). • Creation of a permanent easement or right of way for HUD - assisted projects (whether publicly or privately undertaken). • Work on private property during the construction of a HUD - assisted project even if the activity is temporary. City of Newport Beach 13 Citizen Participation Plan 2. What is Displacement? Displacement occurs when a person moves as a direct result of federally assisted acquisition, demolition, conversion, or rehabilitation activities, because he or she is: • Required to move, or • Not offered a decent, safe, sanitary and affordable unit in the project, or • Treated "unreasonably" as part of a permanent or temporary move. • A person may also be considered displaced if the necessary notices are not given or provided in a timely manner and the person moves for any reason. 3. What is a Displaced Person? The term displaced person means any person that moves from real property or moves his or her personal property from real property permanently as a direct result of one (1) or more of the following activities: • Acquisition of or written notice of intent to acquire, or initiation of negotiations to acquire, such real property, in whole or in part, for a project. • Rehabilitation or demolition of such real property for a project. • Rehabilitation, demolition, or acquisition (or written notice of intent) of all or a part of other real property on which the person conducts a business or farm operation, for a project. • The City offers advisory and financial assistance to eligible tenants (or homeowners) who meet the above definition. 4. Persons Not Eligible for Assistance A person is not eligible for relocation assistance under the provisions of the URA if any of the following occurs: a. The person was evicted for serious or repeated violations of the terms and conditions of the lease or occupancy agreement, violation of applicable federal, state, or local law, or other good cause. However, if the person was evicted only to avoid the application of URA, then that person is considered displaced and is eligible for assistance. b. The person has no legal right to occupy the property under state or local law. c. The City determines that the person occupied the property to obtain relocation assistance and the HUD Field Office concurs in that determination. d. The person is a tenant - occupant that moved into the property after a certain date, specified in the applicable program regulation, and, before leasing and occupying the property, the City or its subgrantee provided the tenant - occupant written notice of the application for assistance, the project's impact on the person, and the fact that he or she would not qualify as a "displaced person" because of the project. City of Newport Beach 14 Citizen Participation Plan e. The person is a tenant - occupant of a substandard dwelling that is acquired or a tenant - occupant of a dwelling unit to which emergency repairs are undertaken and the HUD field office concurs that: • Such repairs or acquisition will benefit the tenant; • Bringing the unit up to a safe, decent, and sanitary condition is not feasible; • The tenant's new rent and average estimated monthly utility costs will not exceed the greater of: the old rent/utility costs or 30 percent of gross household income; and • The project will not impose any unreasonable change in the character or use of the property. f. The person is an owner - occupant of the property who moves because of an "arm's length" acquisition. g. The City or its subgrantee notifies the person that they will not displace him or her for the project. h. The person retains the right of use and occupancy of the real property for life following the acquisition. i. The City determines that the person is not displaced as a direct result of the acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition for the project and the HUD field office concurs in the determination. 5. Minimizing Displacement As a general philosophy, the City will take reasonable steps to minimize displacement occurring as a result of its CDBG activities. This means that the Community Development Department will: • Consider if displacement will occur as part of funding decisions and project feasibility determinations. • Assure, whenever possible that occupants of buildings to be rehabilitated are offered an opportunity to return. • Plan substantial rehabilitation projects in "stages" to minimize displacement. • Meet all HUD notification requirements so that affected persons do not move because they have not been informed about project plans and their rights. 6. Anti - Displacement Policy: The City's policy is to minimize, to the greatest extent feasible, the displacement, whether permanently or temporarily, of persons (families, individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, or farms) from projects funded with CDBG involving single- or multi - family rehabilitation, acquisition, commercial rehabilitation, demolition, economic development, or capital improvement activities. Projects that the City deems beneficial but that may cause displacement may be recommended and approved for funding only if the City or its subgrantee demonstrates that such displacement is necessary and vital to the project and that they take efforts City of Newport Beach 15 Citizen Participation Plan a to reduce the number of persons displaced. Further, they must clearly demonstrate that the goals and anticipated accomplishments of a project outweigh the adverse effects of displacement imposed on persons who must relocate. Displacement Assistance Consistent with the goals and objectives of the CDBG program, the City will take all reasonable steps necessary to minimize displacement of persons, even temporarily. If displacement occurs, the City will provide relocation assistance to all persons directly, involuntarily, and permanently displaced according to HUD regulations. If the City temporarily displaces a low- or moderate - income household, that household becomes eligible for certain relocation payments. The assistance applies to those persons residing in the residence at the time the application is processed and is based on the following procedures: • If the structure and its occupants are determined eligible for temporary relocation assistance, the owner - occupants and tenants are eligible for the actual reasonable cost (based on fair market rent) of temporary lodging facilities until the structure is determined habitable by the City's housing inspector. The City must approve housing and the Lessor and Lessee must sign a rent agreement before move -in. Housing must be comparable functionally to the displacement dwelling and be decent, safe, and sanitary. This does not mean that the housing must be in comparable size. The term "functionally equivalent" means that it performs the same function, has the same principal features present, and can contribute to a comparable style of living. Approved lodging accommodations include apartments and houses. The City does not reimburse "rental expenses" for living with a friend or family member. • Either the City will provide the owner - occupants and tenants a direct payment for moving expenses (to and from temporary housing) and storage costs, or the City will arrange moving and storage of furniture with a moving company. If the City makes a direct payment, complete documentation and receipts are necessary to process claims when storage costs exceed the amount assumed by the direct payment. Damage deposits, utility hookups, telephone hookups and insurance costs are not eligible for reimbursement. The City may pay the cost of relocation assistance from federal funds or funds available from other sources. One - For -One Replacement Dwelling Units The City will generally avoid awarding funds for activities that may result in displacement. However, should the City fund such an activity, specific documentation is required to show the replacement of all occupied and vacant dwelling units demolished or converted to another use. The City will assure that relocation assistance is provided as described in 24 CFR 570.606(b)(2). City of Newport Beach 16 Citizen Participation Plan 0 Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the City will make public and submit to the HUD field office the following information in writing: a. A description of the proposed activity. b. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as low- and moderate - income units. c. A schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion d. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement units. e. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units. f. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low- and moderate - income unit for at least ten years from the date of initial occupancy. Consistent with the goals and objectives of the CDBG program, the City will take all reasonable steps necessary to minimize displacement of persons from their homes. The City will avoid funding projects that cause displacement of persons or businesses and will avoid funding any project that involves the conversion of low- and moderate - income housing to non - residential purposes. Decent, Safe and Sanitary Dwelling The basic definition is found at 49 CFR 24.2(a)(8). The term decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling means a dwelling that meets the following standards and any other housing and occupancy codes that are applicable. It will: a. Be structurally sound, weather tight, and in good repair. b. Contain a safe electrical wiring system adequate for lighting and other devices. c. Contain a safe heating system capable of sustaining a healthful temperature for the displaced person. d. Be adequate to accommodate the displaced person. There will be a separate, well lit, ventilated bathroom that provides privacy to the user and contains a toilet, sink, and a bathtub or shower, all in good working order and properly connected to appropriate sources of water and to a sewage drainage system. There should be a kitchen area that contains a fully usable sink, properly connected to hot and cold water and to a sewage drainage system, and adequate space and utility service connections for a stove and refrigerator. e. Contain unobstructed egress to safe, open space at ground level. City of Newport Beach 17 Citizen Participation Plan f. For a mobility- impaired person, be free of any barriers that would preclude reasonable ingress, egress, or use of the dwelling by such person. This requirement will be satisfied if the displaced person elects to relocate to a dwelling that he or she selects and the displaced person determines that he or she has reasonable ingress, egress, and the use of the dwelling. g. Comply with lead -based paint requirements of 24 CFR Part 35. 10. Real Property Policies The City and its CDBG recipients must follow specific guidelines regarding the acquisition and use of real property funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds. 11. Use of Real Property The following standards apply to real property within the recipient's control and acquired or improved, in whole or in part, using CDBG funds. These standards will apply from the date funds are first spent for the property until five years after the project is audited and closed. A recipient may not change the use of any such property (including the beneficiaries of such use) from that for which the acquisition or improvement was made unless the recipient gives affected citizens reasonable notice of, and opportunity to comment on, any such proposed change, and either: a. The use of such property qualifies as meeting a national objective and is not a building for the general conduct of government. b. If the recipient determines, after consultation with affected citizens, that it is appropriate to change the use of property to a use that does not qualify under the above paragraph, it may retain or dispose of the property. The City's CDBG program must be reimbursed in the amount of the current fair market value of the property less any portion attributable to expenditures of non - federal funds for the acquisition of and improvements to the property. c. Following the reimbursement of the federal program pursuant to the above paragraph of this section, the property is no longer subject to any federal requirements. 12. Real Property Acquisition All real property acquisition activities described in this section and funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds and all real property that must be acquired for an activity assisted with federal funds, regardless of the actual funding source for the acquisition, are subject to the URA (as amended). a. What is Real Property Acquisition? Real property acquisition is any acquisition by purchase, lease, donation, or otherwise, including the acquisition of such interests as rights -of -way and permanent easements. HUD Handbook 1378 and 49 CFR Part 24 currently contains such regulations. These regulations detail a standard procedure for acquiring property and methods of determining a purchase price and outline other documents that must be provided City of Newport Beach 18 Citizen Participation Plan to the City before disbursement of funds. These regulations further require the applicant to provide relocation payments and assistance to any business or residential occupant of the property whom the acquisition will displace. 13. Eligible Activities The City or its sub - grantee may acquire real property for a project using CDBG funds where the proposed use of the acquired property will be an activity that the City can demonstrate as beneficial to low- and moderate - income persons. 14. Environmental Review Process (24 CFR Part 58) HUD requires that all real property acquisition projects be reviewed before the commitment of federal funds to assess the impact of a project on the environment. The City will undertake this review process. The applicant should be aware, however, that this review process may delay the date by which CDBG funds may be available and, in case of serious adverse environmental impacts, may effectively stop a project. a. If the recipient determines, after consultation with affected citizens, that it is appropriate to change the use of property to a use that does not qualify under the above paragraph, it may retain or dispose of the property. The City's CDBG program must be reimbursed in the amount of the current fair market value of the property less any portion attributable to expenditures of non - federal funds for the acquisition of and improvements to the property. b. If the change of use occurs within five years of the project being audited and closed, income from the disposition of the real property will be returned to the City's CDBG program. c. Following the reimbursement of the federal program pursuant to the above paragraph of this section, the property is no longer subject to any federal requirements.
