FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
This item provides for City Council approval of the use of CDBG funds in the amount of
$388,285 for the 2016-2017 fiscal year. The costs associated with staff management of
the CDBG program are approximately $17,000 per year and sufficient staff resources
will be budgeted with the City's FY2016-2017 General Fund Budget.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Newport Beach receives a formula grant allocation of CDBG funds each
year. The objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by
providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic
opportunities, principally for low and moderate -income persons. CDBG is authorized
under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. CDBG funds
may be used for a wide variety of programs, services and facilities improvements,
including but not limited to:
• Community and senior services
• Fair housing enforcement and landlord/tenant mediation
• Homeless prevention and domestic violence programs
• Commercial fagade improvements
• Street and sewer improvements
• Disabled (ADA) accessibility improvements
• Housing programs
• Section 108 loan payments
Since July 1, 1989, the City of Newport Beach has received a direct allocation of
approximately $12 million CDBG funds from HUD with annual allocations ranging from a
low of $323,777 in 2011, to a high of $534,000 in 1995. The 2016 formula grant
allocation is $359,743. The Action Plan appropriates the 2016 grant and $28,542 from
prior year resources for a total of $388,285.
According to CDBG regulations, the City may spend up to 20 percent of the annual
formula grant allocation of CDBG funds for program administration and 15 percent for
community services such as senior meal delivery, domestic violence counseling or
homeless prevention programs. The remaining amount of funding may be used for
projects such as commercial fagade improvements, street and sidewalk improvements,
disabled accessibility improvements, construction or rehabilitation of park and
recreational facilities.
Each year, the City uses a portion of the funds reserved for program administration to
comply with Fair Housing Act requirements and make fair housing enforcement and
landlord/tenant mediation services available to the community. These services have
been provided free of cost to Newport Beach residents by the Fair Housing Foundation
since 2011.

On December 21, 2015, the City published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) in
the Daily Pilot newspaper to announce the availability of CDBG funds and solicit
proposals from tax-exempt nonprofit organizations that provide eligible CDBG services
or projects that benefit Newport Beach residents. The notice and application form were
also available on the City website.
In response to the NOFA, five (5) nonprofit organizations submitted applications for
CDBG grants. In consideration of HUD limitations on the use of CDBG funds for
Administration (20 percent of the grant) and Public Service (15 percent of the grant) and
given the level of funding available, the amount of funding requested, past performance
and proposed accomplishments, anticipated benefit to Newport Beach residents, and
City priorities, staff recommends program/project funding levels in the Action Plan as
follows:
Public Services 15% statutory limit of annual rant

Total:
$391,385
$388,285
The Action Plan, found in the draft resolution as Attachment A, describes each program
and two new activities are proposed for the upcoming year.
1. The Council on Aging is a public service program that will provide an
ombudsman in existing long-term care facilities and act on behalf of those
seniors unable to advocate for themselves. The program is designed to
combat the growing problem of abuse and neglect of the elderly in long-term
care facilities, and staff is recommending that $6,000 be allocated to this new
program.
2. The West Newport Recreation Facility would be a new facility potentially
located on a portion of the City's Utilities Yard on West 16th Street. The facility
would serve nearby low and moderate -income residents in the area thereby
allowing the use of CDBG funds. The facility is in the early planning phase
and the funds will be used for planning, design and environmental review
activities, and staff is recommending that $100,831 be allocated towards this
effort.

On April 9, 2016, staff published a notice in the Daily Pilot informing the general public
that the City of Newport Beach had prepared the Draft 2016-2017 Action Plan. The
notice also indicated the plan would be available for review and comment until May 10,
2016. The public has been provided an opportunity to provide oral and/or written
comments on the proposed activities included in the Draft 2016-2017 Action Plan. At the
time this report was prepared, no public comments have been received. Additionally,
the current Citizen Participation Plan requires that a public hearing be held to receive
testimony from interested residents or parties regarding the Action Plan. The May 10,
2016, public hearing fulfills this requirement.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The development of required plans and allocation of CDBG program funds is an
administrative activity exempt under 24 CFR Part 58, Section 58.34 of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ("NEPA"), as amended.
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will
not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378)
of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or
indirectly. Funding for the West Newport Recreational Facility will be used for planning,
design and environmental review activities for the future project.
NOTICING:
In accordance with HUD requirements for a 30 -day public review and comment period,
notice of the public hearing was published in the Daily Pilot on April 9, 2016. Notice was
also sent to each of the applicants requesting funding and emailed to all parties that
have signed up to receive notifications of the Planning Division. Further, the agenda
item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting
at which the City Council considers the item).

1. Introduction
The 2016-2017 Action Plan is the second of five annual plans implementing the 2015-2019
Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals for the investment of annual allocations of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The Action Plan identifies available resources, annual goals, projects and
activities for the period beginning July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017.
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).
For the 2016-2017 program year, the City will receive $359,743 of CDBG funds from HUD. When
this amount is combined with prior year resources, $388,285 is available for inclusion in the 2016-
2017 Annual Action Plan.
The CDBG program activities to be implemented from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 include:
13-13
2016-2017 CDBG Public Service Activities
• Age Well Senior Services: Home Delivered Meals

HUD's Community Planning and Development (CPD) Outcome Performance Measurement Framework
classifies objectives in three categories: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic
opportunity. The 2015-2019 Strategic Plan identified six high priority needs to be addressed through the
implementation of activities aligned with six Strategic Plan Goals.
The six high priority needs include:
• 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
The following six goals are identified in the Strategic Plan:
• Fair Housing Services
• Public Services
• Special Needs Services
• Homelessness Prevention Services
13-14
• Commercial Fagade Improvements
• Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements

3. Evaluation of past performance
The City is currently implementing the projects and activities included in the 2015-2016 Action
Plan. As of this writing, all projects and activities are underway.
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 during the last
Consolidated Plan period:
• Maintain existing level of Section 8 vouchers and rent -restricted units within the City at
risk of conversion to market rate housing through refinancing. (2,433 Housing Units)
• Ensure universal access to fair housing choice within the City. (903 People)

infrastructure in order to eliminate blight, blighting influences, and prevent deterioration
of property. The improvements will stimulate future economic investments and create a
suitable living environment. (5 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 federal, state and local resources to fully
address the level of need identified in the last Consolidated Plan.
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,
13-16
these requirements created the conditions necessary to implement a collaborative, data -driven
and place -based planning process that includes a robust level of citizen participation and
consultation.
The City adopted its current Citizen Participation Plan on May 12, 2015 that reflects regulatory
changes and process improvements. In accordance with the City's adopted Citizen Participation
Plan, the City facilitated citizen participation through surveys, community meetings and public
hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low- and moderate -income persons,
particularly those living in slum and blighted areas and in areas where HUD funds are proposed to
be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate -income neighborhoods. The
consultation process included representatives of the CoC, PHA, and other specified groups who
completed surveys, provided local data and assisted the City to ensure practical coordination of
strategies to maximize impact and to avoid duplication of effort.
5. Summary of public comments
2016-2017 Action Plan

1. 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
The input gathered from these consultation partners helped establish and inform the objectives
and goals described in the current Strategic Plan. Specific comments received from consultation
partners are included in the Attachments section of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. In the
development of the 2016-2017 Action Plan, the City provided each agency with an opportunity
to comment on the draft Action Plan during the public review and comment period.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and
service agencies (91.215(1)).
The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service
providers to maximize the effectiveness of the CDBG program. As a result, during the
development of this Consolidated Plan, the City consulted closely with organizations that provide
assisted housing, health services and other community -focused programs. Outreach efforts
included surveys including specific questions associated with coordination, invitations to
community meetings and follow-up in-person interviews where appropriate.
The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the
upcoming five-year planning period with these organizations and agencies. The City will continue
strengthening relationships and alignment among these organizations.

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 (CoQ for Orange County guides the development of homeless strategies
and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. Orange
County's homeless system of care is comprised of a network of public, private, faith -based, for-
profit, and nonprofit service providers who utilize several federal, state and local resources to
provide services for homeless people. The region's municipalities, including the City of Newport
Beach, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming
homeless. The County's nonprofit community plays a key role in the Continuum of Care system.
Hundreds of agencies throughout the County provide programs ranging from feeding the
homeless on the street to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services
are available to homeless families with children, and single men and women. The County's
nonprofit community also serves special needs populations, such as victims of domestic violence,
veterans, the disabled and youth.
The CoC guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to
end homelessness throughout the region. The City provided a detailed questionnaire to the CoC
to identify the CoC's perceived needs in the county and its objectives to address the needs of
different homeless populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals,
families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth and persons at risk of homelessness.
Following the delivery and response to this questionnaire, the City followed up with the CoC to
clarify existing needs and objectives and understand opportunities for collaboration and
coordination during the five-year planning process.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate
outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS
In the development of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City of Newport Beach consulted
with 25 housing, social service and other entities involved in housing, community and economic
development in Newport Beach and how CDBG funds and other resources should be invested to
provide decent affordable housing, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities for
low- and moderate -income residents. The Orange County Continuum of Care was consulted
directly by telephone and e-mail to discuss performance standards, outcomes, and policies and
procedures for HMIS.
13-21
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.
Table 3 provides a listing of the entities consulted as part of this planning process.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting
The City established and followed a process for the development of the five-year Consolidated Plan that
included broad participation from the community. To assist in the identification of priority needs in the
City, the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey was prepared and distributed to
residents of the City to solicit resident input in the prioritization of needs related to community services,
community facilities, infrastructure, neighborhood services, special needs services, businesses and jobs,
and housing. The surveys were available online and also were made available at various public facilities.
A community meeting to discuss the housing and community development needs in the community was
held on February 26, 2015. The public hearing took place on May 12, 2015 to receive comments on the
draft 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan.
At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low- and moderate -income residents,
members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these populations, and
others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan
programs had the opportunity to be actively involved.
In the preparation of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City followed the process established for
citizen participation set forth in the Citizen Participation Plan. To promote greater public accessibility to
program documents, the Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated Plan, Action Plans, CAPERS and the
Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice are posted on the City website at:
https://www.newportbeachca.gov/index.aspx?page=1871
In the preparation of the 2016-2017 Action Plan, the City made the draft Action Plan available for public
review and comment from April 8, 2016 to May 10, 2016. Residents were invited to review the draft Action
Plan and to attend the public hearing or submit written comments concerning the projects and activities
in the Action Plan.

Expected Resources
AP -15 Expected Resources — 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The projects and activities included in the Action Plan 2016-2017 are based on resources that are
reasonably anticipated to be available to the City from federal, state, local and private sources
from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. The actual resources available to support activities
during the implementation of the remainder of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan may vary
significantly due to factors outside of the City's control. For example, HUD formula grant
allocations are subject to change each year based on a number of factors such as the amount of
the national appropriation, changes in ACS population data applied to the CPD grant formulas,
statutory changes to the CPD grant formulas, the addition or removal of entitlements receiving a
particular CPD grant and the availability of reallocated funds. Additionally, state, local and private
resources will vary significantly depending on economic conditions.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City and its development partners will continue to seek new opportunities to leverage federal funds,
such as the Low Income Tax Credit program and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
Section 202 and 811 forthe Elderly Program. Depending on the financing structure of a given activity,
the City may use CDBG funds to leverage appropriate state, local and private resources, including
but not limited to those listed below.
State Resources
• State Low -Income Housing Tax Credit Program
• Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN)
• CalHome Program
• Multifamily Housing Program (MHP)
• Housing Related Parks Grant
• CaIHFA Single and Multi -Family Program
• Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding
Local Resources
• Orange County Housing & Finance Agency (OCHFA) Funding
• Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA) Funding
• Orange County Continuum of Care Program
• Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) Programs
Private Resources
• Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP)
• Community Reinvestment Act Programs
• United Way Funding
• Private Contributions
Matching Requirements
The City of Newport Beach does not receive HOME funds as part of its entitlement allocation.
The amount of matching is therefore; not applicable for the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan.
If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City does not currently own any publicly owned land or property that can be used to address
13-41
the needs of the Consolidated Plan.
Discussion
Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG programs, the City expects to utilize
approximately $1.9 million of CDBG funds during the five-year period beginning July 1, 2015 and
ending June 30, 2020 to achieve the goals of the Strategic Plan.

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 2016-2017 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.

AP -50 Geographic Distribution — 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
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 and
there were no areas of the City containing minority concentrations; therefore, no geographic
priorities were established within the Consolidated Plan and allocation priorities will be driven
by citywide need. All CDBG funds will be directed toward activities benefitting low- and
moderate -income residents citywide.
The only exception to this approach would be for CDBG projects that are qualified on a low- and
moderate -income area basis where a specific proportion of the residents within the service area
must be low- and moderate -income residents, such as the new West Newport Recreation Facility.

Table 11- Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
For the 2016-2017 program year, the City's investments in Fair Housing Services, Public Services,
Special Needs Services and Homelessness Prevention Services projects are based on a citywide
geography because individuals in need of these services may live anywhere within the
jurisdiction—particularly services for special needs populations such as victims of domestic
violence.
Discussion
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non -administrative CDBG
funds for program year 2016-2017 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate -
income people.

Affordable Housing
AP -55 Affordable Housing — 91.22O(g)
Introduction
During the development of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City of Newport Beach
identified two high priority affordable housing needs, and as stated in the Consolidated Plan, the
City of Newport Beach will continue its efforts to leverage other funding sources such as the
Affordable Housing Trust Fund to address the 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
13-53
renter tenure:
• 5,363 or 26 percent of the 20,950 owner -occupied housing units built between 15 and 34
years ago (built between 1980 and 1999).
• 12,619 or 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.

AP -60 Public Housing — 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Newport Beach Housing Authority does not administer Section 8 and does not own HUD
Public Housing. Newport Beach is within the service area of the Orange County Housing Authority
(OCHA) for the purposes of Section 8 and Public Housing. As of 2015, OCHA administered a total
of 11,381 housing vouchers throughout the County. Of these, 142 were issued to Newport Beach
residents. Families received 47 housing vouchers, 29 housing vouchers were issued to Irvine's
disabled population, and 66 housing vouchers were issued to elderly households. OCHA monitors
all units to ensure they are in adequate condition, meeting the Section 8 Housing Quality
Standards (HQS).
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
OCHA's stated goals include:
• Apply for additional housing assistance funding and programs that may become available.
• Explore the use of Project -Based Housing Choice Vouchers or other housing funds to
promote the construction or acquisition activities that will result in additional units or
developments that will serve special needs populations.
• Ensure consistent quality of assisted housing services by maintaining high performer
status in Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) scores.
• Promote Family Self -Sufficiency incentives and homeownership opportunities for Housing
Choice Voucher participants in partnership with local programs and related service
providers.
• Expand assisted housing choices by conducting outreach efforts to increase the number
of property owners and their participation in housing assistance programs.
• Identify and utilize technology to enhance operational effectiveness and efficiency in
delivery of housing assistance services
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
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
13-56
two affordable homeownership units, but these types of efforts are limited.
OCHA also manages a Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership Program that it markets to all
OCHA program tenants.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
Not applicable. OCHA is designated as a High Performing PHA.
Discussion
Newport Beach continues to support OCHA in effective administration of its limited affordable
housing resources. The City also continues to work with OCHA to include the residents with
Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in the federally -funded programs administered by the City,
including any homeownership programs.
13-57
AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
Introduction
The City will invest CDBG funds during the 2016-2017 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 24, 2015, on any given night in Orange County,
approximately 4,450 people are homeless, and over a course of a year, more than 15,291 people
are expected to 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 (20 people)
13-58
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 (CoC) 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.
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,
13-59
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.
13-60
AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.22O(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 2014-2021 Housing Element, the City evaluated significant public
policies affecting affordable housing development such as land use controls, tax policies affecting
land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges and growth limitations. Based on this
evaluation, the City determined that it has taken all appropriate and necessary steps to
ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may have been a barrier to affordable
housing. Moreover, the City will continue to use its Affordable Housing Trust Fund to fund future
affordable housing projects.
13-61
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.
13-62
AP -85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
Introduction:
In the implementation of the 2016-2017 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 2016-2017 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 2016-2017 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 early 2016, the City awarded $1,600,000 Affordable Housing Trust Funds to Seaview Lutheran
Plaza for the rehabilitation of 100 apartments for senior citizens, extending the project's
affordability period and additional 30 years. Additionally, $1,975,000 was awarded to Newport
Veterans Housing to rehabilitate 12 market rate units to be rented affordably to veterans for a
period of 55 years. 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
In the implementation of any future Residential Rehabilitation Programs, the City will
disseminate brochures provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to all applicants as
part of the transmittal of the program application. Any unit receiving assistance through the
program that was built prior to January 1, 1978 will be tested for lead-based paint. If lead-based
paint is present, appropriate abatement procedures are implemented as part of the
13-63
rehabilitation contract consistent with the requirements of 24 CFR Part 35.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals established in the 2015-2019
Consolidated Plan -Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan will help to reduce the number of
poverty -level families by:
• Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and
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 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.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional delivery system in Newport Beach is high -functioning and collaborative —
particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a
network of capable community-based organizations that are delivering a full range of services to
residents. Affordable housing development and preservation activities will be carried out by the
Planning Division of the Community Development Department in partnership with other
agencies. Public service activities will be carried out by nonprofit organizations to achieve the
Strategic Plan goals. The Planning Division and the Public Works Department will work together
13-64
with contractors to implement public facility improvement projects.
One of the key ways the City is developing and expanding institutional structure to meet
underserved needs is by funding a wide variety of services targeted to seniors, special needs
populations and individuals or families at risk of homelessness with CDBG public service grants.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
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 2016-2017 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.
