City of Newport Beach / Regional Ian d 5-Year Farr Housing Action Plan Page 1 1 c associates B. SCOPE OF WORK Approach The GRC/KWA Team proposes to prepare the Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) which includes 16 jurisdictions in Orange County. The proposed Regional Al will include analyses, findings and actions to address potential impediment to fair housing at the regional and local levels. Project Management Scheduling. At the kick-off meeting with City staff, GRC will prepare a detailed work pian that describes the scope of work and highlight the key deliverables and milestones for the preparation, adoption and HUD approval of Al. This schedule will identify the submittal dates of all preliminary draft (City staff review copies), draft and final products, community meetings, public review periods, study sessions and public hearings. Prior to the kick-off meeting, GRC will prepare a list of City documents and information needed for this project. Staff Meetings. To ensure efficient coordination with City staff and a continuous flow of information, GRC will meet with City staff at least once every month, or more frequently as needed to ensure that the time schedule is met. GRC will immediately notify the City of any unanticipated changes to the scope of work resulting from new HUD requirements or significant public comments. Only with written City approval will GRC change the scope. Public Participation GRC, along with City staff, will conduct five (5) subregional shared community meetings. These community meetings will include: 1) northern participating cities in Orange County; 2)central cities;3)western cities;4)southern cities; and 5)the City of Santa Ana. These meetings will provide the residents, businesses and service providers the opportunity to gain awareness of fair housing laws, and for residents and service agencies to share fair housing issues and concerns. All notices, handout materials and presentations will be prepared by GRC. GRC will send invitation letters to all 16 participating cities, public agencies and service providers, lending institutions, and real estate companies, but especially to those agencies and organization that serve the low/moderate-income and special needs communities. The community meetings will be conducted in English and Spanish by the GRC team and all materials will be available in both languages. Vietnamese translation will be made available at meetings, if necessary. In addition, workshop notices will be published in the local paper and posted on the city websites. City of Newport Beach /Regional Al and 5-Year Fair Housing Action Plan Page 6 1 ic associates To supplement the community meetings and to assist in further understanding the fair housing Issues of each city, a fair housing survey in English, Spanish and Vietnamese will be available to residents, businesses and public agencies in Orange County. The survey will be online on each participating city's website and available in hardcopy. GRC will design the fair housing survey using SurveyMonkey®. Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice The goal of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice is to conduct a comprehensive examination of the region and each of the 16 cities for the purpose of comparison. The team will examine each city's ability to provide its residents fair housing choices regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin. The Al development process will include the following tasks: A. Regional and Local Profiles The GRC team will collect, analyze and prepare a descriptive profile.of the region and the participating cities. The profile will include demographic, socioeconomic and housing characteristics, trends and projections. The descriptive profiles will include tables,charts and GIS maps, In addition, this task will involve: • Review of the current Regional Al and Als of the four additional cities; • Review of recent Consolidated Plans and Housing Elements; • Census information analysis, especially the most recent American Community Survey(ACS) data. in order to have consistency of information, the same data sources will be used for comparison purposes; • Use of the HUD CPD mapping tool to analyze and illustrate geographic patterns and relationships. The following maps will be prepared and included in the AI's Appendices. ✓ Racial/ethnic concentrations ✓ Low/Moderate income concentrations ✓ Senior households ✓ Family households ✓ Location of public housing ✓ Owner/renter households ✓ Care facilities in relation to Low/Mod areas ✓ Public transit network Describe public housing programs available to low/moderate income residents -- Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program and Public Housing City of Newport fleach J Regional At and 5-Year Fair Housing Action Plan Page 7 a—arc associates program and other community-based programs (emergency shelters, transitional and supportive housing) • Describe the rental and ownership housing market. • Describe the existing and proposed public transit system within each city and the connection to the regional system.

C. Public Policies and Practices This section will present the various public policies that could influence fair housing choices in each city. After reviewing the General Plan, zoning ordinances, Consolidated Plan and Housing Element of each city, the team will evaluate the potential impediments to fair housing choice and affordable housing development. • Housing Element policies and housing and land use-related policies identified in other elements of the a city's General Plan. All policies should advance the goals of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act. • Review and assess other barriers for fair housing, including administrative policies affecting housing activities or community development resources for areas of minority concentration and for persons with disabilities. • Review and assess planning and development approval process, including the length of time required, fees and CEO.A. • Community representation on planning and zoning boards and commissions. D. Fair Housing Practices • Discuss fair housing practices in the homeownership and rental housing market. • Analyze information on discrimination cases, complaints, findings and actions provided by fair housing services. Information may be obtained from the State Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the federal Fair Housing Enforcement Center, and the City's current fair housing service provider. • Examine fair housing services and the level of outreach available for each city and its residents. • Interview each city's fair housing service provider and the Orange County Housing Authority to assess additional steps being taken to promote fair housing choice, especially Section 8 tenants. E. Action Plan The Action Plan includes a summary of conclusions and findings of potential impediments in each city and the region as a whole. The Action Plan also reviews the progress in implementing action programs identified in the previous Regional Al and the AI's of the four additional cities. Finally, the Action Plan will identify recommendations and implementation programs to address the impediment finds. The Action Plan will include: • Summary of the common problems and barriers to fair housing found in the regional (all 16 cities) and conclusions and impediments identified for specific Cityof Newport Beach f Regional Al and S-Year Fair Housing Action Pian Page 9 1 c associates cities. This may include racial/ethnic and Income concentrations, housing affordability and public transit accessibility, housing conditions, access to home financing, and fair housing complaints. • Evaluate the effectiveness of previous Al actions in eliminating impediments to fair housing. A matrix will be prepared that identifies the previous impediments, previous proposed action, current status (whether the action was implemented and its effectiveness) and a recommendation to carry it forward to this Al. • Finally, the Action Plan will highlight housing impediments identified in this Regional Al, and propose actions and a timeframe for implementation. The proposed actions will be region-wide (all 16 cities) and some will be specific to a city or groups of cities. • Appendix, including all contacts, forum participants, survey sample and tabulation report from the City's fair housing service provider over the last five years, as well as letters from various state and federal agencies.
