TITLE: Resolution No. 2020-51: Community Development Block Grant —
2020-24 Consolidated Plan, 2020-21 Action Plan, and Citizen
Participation Plan Amendment
ABSTRACT:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") requires the City of
Newport Beach ("City") to prepare and submit a Consolidated Plan to establish the
housing and community development priorities for Newport Beach for the next five years
under the Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") Program. The Consolidated
Plan is a roadmap describing how the City will spend CDBG funds in fiscal years 2020-
21 through 2024-25, on projects and programs that benefit low- and moderate -income
residents.
The one-year Action Plan allocates $372,831 of CDBG funds to specific programs and
projects in the upcoming 2020-21 fiscal year and meet the goals of the proposed 2020-
24 Consolidated Plan.
The Citizen Participation Plan outlines how the public may participate in developing the
Consolidated Plan, the Action Plans, and other reports and plans related to the CDBG
Program. The Citizen Participation Plan amendment reflects updates to City and HUD
procedures since the plan was last updated in 2015. The three documents were prepared
and made available for the HUD -required 30 -day public review and comment period,
which began on April 10, 2020, and concludes with this public hearing before the City
Council on May 12, 2020.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Conduct a public hearing to receive comments on the Draft 2020-24 Consolidated
Plan, Draft 2020-21 Action Plan, and Draft Citizen Participation Plan Amendment;
b) Find the approval of the 2020-24 Consolidated Plan, 2020-21 Action Plan, and Citizen
Participation Plan Amendment exempt from the National Environmental Policy Act
("NEPA") pursuant to 24 CFR Part 58, Section 58.34;

FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund related to this item. This item provides for
City Council approval of the expenditure of $574,342 in CDBG funds for the 2020-21 fiscal
year. The costs associated with staff management of the CDBG program are
approximately $17,000 per year and enough staff resources will be budgeted with the
City's FY 2020-21 Budget.
DISCUSSION:
CDBG Program Background
The City receives a formula grant allocation of CDBG funds each year from the federal
government, through HUD. The objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban
communities by providing suitable housing and expanding economic opportunities for
low- and moderate -income residents. CDBG funds may be used for a variety of programs,
services, and facility improvements, such as:
• Community and senior services
• Fair housing services and landlord/tenant dispute resolution
• Homelessness prevention and social services
• Public facilities and infrastructure improvements
• Disabled (ADA) accessibility improvements
• Housing programs
• Section 108 loan payments

Plan, 2020-21 Action Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan Amendment
May 12, 2020
Page 3
According to CDBG regulation, the City may spend up to 20 percent of the annual formula
grant allocation of CDBG funds for program administration. Fifteen percent of the grant
allocation may be used for community services such as senior meal delivery or homeless
prevention programs. The remaining amount of funding may be used for economic
development programs like grants to small businesses, or for projects such as street and
sidewalk improvements, disabled accessibility improvements, public facilities
improvements such as the construction or rehabilitation of park and recreational facilities,
provided the projects meet applicable CDBG regulations and national objectives.
Past Program Activities
Since July 1, 1989, the City of Newport Beach has received a total direct allocation of
approximately $13.1 million CDBG funds from HUD with annual allocations ranging from
a low of $319,676 in 2017, to a high of $534,000 in 1995. The 2020-21 formula grant
allocation is $372,831.
Each year, the City also 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.
The Section 108 Program allows grantees of the CDBG Program to borrow Federally
guaranteed funds for community development in an amount up to five -times their annual
CDBG grant by pledging to repay the loan with future CDBG grants. The loan program
enables grantee to undertake substantially larger community development projects than
CDBG annual grants would support. In 2002, the City received a loan of $2,400,000 to
partially fund streetscape enhancements in Balboa Village. The current loan will be fully
repaid in 2023, using a portion of the annual grant proceeds.
Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan
In order to be eligible for CDBG grants, every five years the City must prepare and submit
a Consolidated Plan, at least 45 -days prior to the beginning of the program year. The City
operates on a fiscal year from July 1 through June 30.
The Consolidated Plan examines housing and community development needs in Newport
Beach and outlines the City's priorities, objectives and strategies for investment of CDBG
funds to address those needs over the next five years.
The Action Plan details how the next fiscal year's funding will be specifically allocated and
describes how those specific projects address the priorities outlined in the Consolidated
Plan. Staff's recommendations for the expenditure of funding for fiscal year 2020-21 is
provided below.
The Citizen Participation Plan is updated with every new Consolidated Plan and describes
the City's policies and procedures for obtaining input from citizens and other interested
parties when preparing the various planning documents and summary reports related to
administration of the CDBG program and is a requisite to receiving CDBG funds.

Plan, 2020-21 Action Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan Amendment

The Citizen Participation Plan covers the Consolidated Plan, each subsequent annual
Action Plan, as well as each of the fiscal year-end Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Reports, as well as any amendments to the Consolidated Plan or its five
annual Action Plans. The City's adopted Citizen Participation Plan was last updated and
approved by City Council in 2015.
Community Outreach
Staff held a community meeting on Tuesday, February 18, 2020, and the City Council
held a public hearing on Tuesday, March 24, 2020, to solicit feedback from residents and
other interested parties, and to identify the community's priorities for the CDBG program
funds. A community survey was made available at the meetings, through a link on the
City's website, and via email communications to interested parties; the City received a
record number of 292 responses. Based on this outreach and the data evaluated in
preparation of the Draft 2020-24 Consolidated Plan, the following priorities were identified
and will serve as the basis for CDBG program funding decisions over the next five years:
• Ensure equal access to housing opportunities
• Provide public services for low- and moderate -income residents
• Improve public facilities and infrastructure
• Address material barriers to accessibility
• Economic development
• Prevent and eliminate homelessness
On April 10, 2020, a notice was published in the Daily Pilot informing the general public
the City had prepared Draft 2020-24 Consolidated Plan and Draft 2020-21 Action Plan
(Exhibit A to Attachment A), and Draft Citizen Participation Plan Amendment (Exhibit B
to Attachment A), and the documents would be available for review and comment until
the public hearing on May 12, 2020. The public was provided an opportunity to provide
oral and/or written comments on the three draft plans and the proposed activities for
funding in the upcoming fiscal year. To date, no public comments have been received.
Additionally, the current adopted Citizen Participation Plan requires that a public hearing
be held to receive testimony from interested residents or parties regarding the Action
Plan. The May 12, 2020, public hearing fulfills this requirement.
Proposed 2020-21 Action Plan
On January 26, 2020, the City published a Notice of Funding Availability ("NOFA") in the
Daily Pilot newspaper and on the City website, to announce the availability of CDBG funds
for fiscal year 2020-21, and solicit proposals from nonprofit organizations that provide
eligible CDBG services or projects that benefit Newport Beach residents.
The City received applications, from five organizations, requesting CDBG grants. In
consideration of the funding available, the amount of funding requested, past
performance, anticipated benefit to Newport Beach residents, and City priorities, staff
recommends program/project funding levels in the Action Plan as outlined in the table
below.

The 2020-21 CDBG allocation from HUD will be $372,831; which together with $201,511
of unallocated CDBG funds from prior years, totals $574,342 for program year 2020-21.

The Draft 2020-21 Action Plan describes each program. In consideration of the amount
of public service funding available and the amounts requested pursuant to the NOFA,
staff does not recommend funding two new public service applicants — Club Place to Play
and Affordable Housing Clearinghouse, because doing so would preclude the City's
ability to fund the requests of existing public service providers serving senior citizens and
persons experiencing homelessness. Past levels of performance of the existing public
service providers was a key factor considered by the staff committee tasked with
reviewing applications and formulating funding recommendations for City Council
consideration. Historically, all the existing service providers have successfully
accomplished their annual performance goals. With the proposed funding levels shown
in the table above, Age Well Senior Services plans to serve approximately 96 Newport
Beach residents during the 2020-21 fiscal year, and focuses on serving senior citizens,
who make up approximately 22% of Newport Beach's population.

Staff recommends funding Age Well Senior Services above their requested amount to
assist with the additional meal services provided to the community during the COVID-19
health crisis, which is preventing many senior citizens from leaving their homes to shop
for their own groceries. Families Forward plans to serve approximately 12 unduplicated
Newport Beach residents with the proposed funding levels and provide services to
families to address homelessness. Staff also recommends allocating funding to
supplement the City's motel voucher program — part of the City's ongoing efforts to
address homelessness, which funding will provide approximately 15 individuals with
short-term lodging while working to address their long-term housing and service needs.
Staff does not recommend CDBG funding for a specific Capital Project other than the
Section 108 Loan Repayment, which as of April 2020 has a balance of $606,417, and will
be fully repaid in August 2022.
Staff is not recommending funding Club Place to Play and Affordable Housing
Clearinghouse this year. Club Place to Pay is a newly formed venture that provides child
camp activities. They provided very little information on how they would spend the CDBG
funds and whether they would be able to collect the necessary income verification
required. Affordable Housing Clearinghouse provides financial literacy and home -buyer
assistance programs. While they may be able to provide some service to residents, staff
did not think they could produce the deliverable of a low-income household purchasing a
home in Newport Beach.
CDBG Administration Consultant
Pursuant to a Request for Proposal (RFP 20-21), the City has selected a new CDBG
program administration consultant, Priscila Davila and Associates, Inc., who will
administer the program for fiscal year 2020-21 beginning on July 1, 2020.
Additional CARES Act Funding & Economic Development
Under the 2020 federal stimulus plan — Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
Act ("CARES Act"), the City will receive an additional allocation of $219,324 of CDBG
funding from HUD. Considering the economic impacts resulting from the global pandemic
COVID-19, and the financial hardships felt by many small businesses in Newport Beach,
staff will investigate if an economic development program can be developed that will
utilize both the CARES Act funds as well as the $250,371 earmarked in the Draft 2020-
21 Action Plan to help and support local small businesses. Additional details regarding
use of the funds is forthcoming from HUD and will help staff determine if an economic
development program may be developed. If a program can be developed, City staff will
return to City Council at a future date to amend the 2020-21 Action Plan and recommend
an economic development program.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The development of required plans and allocation of CDBG program funds is an
administrative activity exempt under 24 FR Part 58, Section 58.34 of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended.
Staff recommends the City Council find approval of the 2020-24 Consolidated Plan, 2020-
21 Action Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan Amendment are 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.
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 10, 2020. 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).

Executive Summary
Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 1.
The City of Newport Beach has prepared the 2020-2024 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, 2020 and ending
June 30, 2025.
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 program year 2020-2021, the City will receive $372,831 of CDBG funds from HUD. When these amounts
are combined with prior year resources of $201,511 available for inclusion in the 2020 Annual Action Plan,
the City will allocate $574,342.

2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Pian 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 2020-2024 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 2011-2015 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 (6) priority needs listed below are established
as part of this Plan:
• Ensure equal access to housing opportunities
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Executive Summary 9
23-21
• Provide public services for low- and moderate -income residents
• Improve public facilities and infrastructure
• Address material barriers to accessibility
• Economic development
• Prevent and eliminate homelessness
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 five measurable Strategic Plan goals:

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 2020-2024 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.
5. Summary of public comments
A community meeting/hearing to discuss the housing and community development needs in Newport Beach
was held on February 18, 2020 at the Bay Island Room in the Newport Beach Marina Park. Participants and
staff discussed the CDBG program and attendees were encouraged to complete the City's 2020-2024
Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey.
A public hearing to receive comments on the draft 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and the 2020-2021 Annual
Action Plan will be held before the Newport Beach City Council on May 12, 2020,

PR -10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
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 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 to better understand the holistic needs of low- and moderate -income residents
in the City of Newport Beach. 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.

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. City Net provides outreach to homeless populations and connects
supportive organizations to leverage synergies and improve outcomes. 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 adults, families, and youth. 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.
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
Consolidated Plans of ESG jurisdictions and resident needs based on community feedback. 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.
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: The Process
16
16
23-28
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 permanent supportive housing and lower barrier households are rapidly returned to permanent
housing. The Orange County CoC will continue to evaluate performance data quarterly and identify
opportunities for incremental improvements and changes to best serve the residents of Orange County,
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.

2014-2021 City of Newport Strategic Plan goals are consistent with Housing Element policies and
Housing Beach goals to ensure equal housing opportunities for residents through
Element fair housing services.
Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of
general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(1))
To enhance coordination among the CoC, public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental
health, mental health and service agencies, the City invited each of these entities to provide input on the needs
of the community in the development of this Consolidated Plan. 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.

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, the severely mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons
with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS 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 Survey and consulted with local stakeholders. The Needs Assessment primarily relies on the following
sources of data:
• American Community Survey (2011-2015, 5 -year estimates)
• Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (2011-2015, 5 -year estimates)
• Point in Time Count (2019)
• Center for Disease Control (2013-2017 Drug Overdose Death Rate Increases)
• Annual HIV Surveillance Report (2017)
• State of California Department of Justice (2018)
• National Crime Victimization Survey (2018)
This report utilizes the 2011-2015 ACS 5 -year estimates and the 2011-2015 CHAS 5 -year estimates as they
were the most current data sets supplied through HUD's eCon Planning Suite.
Consolidated Plan Survey for Residents and Stakeholders
Newport Beach residents and program stakeholders had the opportunity to respond to the 2020-2024
Consolidated Plan 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

Summary of Housing Needs
According to ACS 5 -year estimates (Table 6), from 2009 to 2015 the City's population increased by two
percent from 85,186 to 86,605 people and the number of households increased by seven percent from 35,570
to 38,075. The nominal median household income increased from $107,500 to $113,071. The City of Newport
Beach includes 38,075 households, of which 11,895 households, or 31 percent, earn less than 80 percent of
Area Median Income (AMI) and 26,180, or 69 percent, of all households earn more than 80 percent of AMI.
When evaluating housing needs and problems, the Consolidated Plan considers households that are cost
burdened (pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing costs), overcrowded (more than one person
per room), and lack complete plumbing and/or kitchen facilities. Of all households earning less than 80 percent
of AMI, 6,745, or 57 percent, experienced at least one of these housing problems. This is most pronounced
(74 percent) for households that earn less than 50 percent of AMI.
The ACS and CHAS data in Tables 6-13 below focus on the housing needs of different households in the City
for different levels of income. Analysis of the tables indicate a high need for housing assistance for households
at or below 50 percent of AMI, of which 5,225 pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing costs
(4,445 of whom pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs). Renter households that earn
less than 50 percent of AMI are much more likely to experience cost burden than owner households at the
same income range, 41 percent and 29 percent respectively.
Table 7 presents the number of different household types in the City for different levels of income. Small family
households consist of 2-4 related household members, while large family households have more than 5 related
members per household. Of households within Newport Beach, 13,180, or 35 percent, are considered small
family households and 1,760, or 5 percent, are large family households. The income levels are divided by
different AMI levels corresponding with HUD income definitions as follows:
• 0-30 percent of AMI: extremely low-income (11 percent of all households)
• 30-50 percent of AMI: low-income (9 percent of all households)
• 50-80 percent of AMI: moderate -income (12 percent of all households)
• 80-100 percent of AMI: medium income (6 percent of all households)
• Greater than 100 percent of AMI: upper income (63 percent of all households)
Tables 8 and 9 indicate the number of renter- and owner -occupied households for different AMI levels that
are experiencing housing problems. Evaluation of those tables reveals that 7,360 of the City's 14,230
households earning less than 100 percent of AMI experience at least one housing problem. HUD defines four
different housing problems as:
Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or stove, or a
refrigerator

23-59
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.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
There are 12,565 single person households in the City, representing 33 percent of all households.
Approximately 1,633 of the single person households are 65 years of age or older according to the ACS
(51101), indicating that approximately 10,932 single person households are ages 18-64.
In the tables above, the "Other' household category includes single person households as well as unrelated
households. According to Table 10, 2,830 households categorized as 'other' experienced a cost burden. Of
those `other' households that are cost burdened, the majority are renters that earn between 50-80 percent
of AMI. According to Table 11, 1,955 households categorized as "other' experienced a severe cost burden. Of
these 'other" households experiencing a severe cost burden, the majority earn between 0-30 percent of AMI.
By definition, single person households do not experience housing overcrowding. No data is available for single -
person households occupying substandard housing units.
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.
Based on ACS data, the total Civilian Noninstitutionalized population age 16 and over in Newport Beach is at
least 71,171. Of this population, an estimated 6,621 persons have a disability and may require housing assistance.
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 health care
costs, are dependent on supportive services, and may require accessibility modifications to accommodate their
disability. As such, evaluation of household income characteristics reveals that households with members that
have a disability are more likely to be low- and moderate -income households with one or more of the four
housing problems.

The State of California Department of] ustice maintains statistics on domestic violence statewide by jurisdiction.
In 2018, the Newport Beach Police Department responded to a total of 255 calls related to domestic violence.
Of these calls:
• 209 of these domestic incidents did not involve a weapon
• 46 calls involved a weapon
• 3 involved a firearm
• 4 domestic incidents involved a knife or cutting instrument
• 4 domestic incidents involved other dangerous weapons
• 35 domestic incidents involved personal weapons (i.e. feet or hands, etc.)
Therefore, if each one of these calls represented a household with member(s) who required housing assistance,
it can be estimated that there were up to 255 households in 2018 who were in need of some form of housing
assistance. According to the 2018 National Crime Victimization Survey, this is a conservative estimate since
most cases (53 percent) of domestic violence are never reported to legal authorities. In households where
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 191 individuals —
possibly with minor children — may require temporary housing assistance.
The form of housing assistance required for special needs populations may vary depending on the specific
circumstances of each case. The City recognizes that it is crucial to prioritize the creation of additional affordable
housing opportunities for low- and moderate -income households. It is also 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 households, seniors and transition age youth.
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 2,160 renter households and 895 owner
households who pay more than 30 percent of their monthly gross income for housing costs. Within this group
of cost burdened households, 6,590 are severely cost burdened households paying more than 50 percent of
their monthly gross income for housing costs, including 3,690 renter households and 895 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 210 low- and moderate -income Newport Beach households. Renter households make up 90 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 8,943 low- and moderate -income households experiencing a cost burden, the
two most affected groups include 1,649 "other" renter households and 2,000 elderly owner households. Large
related households with five or more people are not affected as significantly 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 100 or 48 percent of the 210 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, 8,943 (75 percent) of households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City experience a cost
burden. Of these households, 5,729 (64 percent) are renters and 3,214 (36 percent) are owners. The 6,614
extremely low- and low-income renters with housing cost burdens are the most at risk of homelessness.
According to Table 7, 653 (1.7 percent) of the 11,895 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 3,320 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 3,320
households:
• 870 are small related households with four or fewer members
• 35 are large related households with five or more members
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessrrrent
57
57
23-69
• 1,145 are elderly households with one or more members over the age of 62
• 1,170 are other person households
These extremely low- and low-income households are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless.
Based on evaluation of ACS and CHAS data in Tables 6-13 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, 8,943 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, 6,614 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 6,614 severely cost burdened
households, 4,140 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 3,320 households earn less
than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless.

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 percentage points 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:
5. Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or stove, or a
refrigerator
6. Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet and a
bathtub or shower
7. Overcrowding: A household is considered to be overcrowded if there are more than 1.01 people
per room.
8. 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.

NA -3S Public -dousing - n
Public housing and other assisted housing programs are part of the County's efforts to address the affordable
housing needs of low- and moderate -income families in Newport Beach. 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."

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list
for accessible units:
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in any program
or activity that is conducted by federal agencies or that receives financial assistance from a federal agency. A
housing provider may not deny or refuse to sell or rent to a person with a disability and may not impose
application or qualification criteria, rental fees or sales prices and rental or sales terms or conditions that are
different than those required of or provided to persons who are not disabled. Further, housing providers may
not require persons 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.
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.
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment
75
75
23-87
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.

NA -40 Homeless Needs Assess - .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. f
According to the 2019 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress, over one quarter of the
nation's homeless population is in California and nearly half of all the nation's homeless individuals are in three
states: California (27 percent), New York (16 percent), and Florida (five percent). California and New York
have the highest rate of homelessness among all individuals, at 38 and 46 people per 10,000 individuals.
Homelessness is addressed regionally by the County of Orange who took upon the responsibilities of managing
Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC) (effective July 5th, 2019), 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.

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 22, 2019,
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 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 is around 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.
2019 Point -In -Time Count Results
The PIT Count revealed that on any given night in Orange County, approximately 6,860 people are homeless.

Data presented for those becoming and exiting homeless above is for the entire CoC geography. As noted in
the Newport Beach specific data, the largest share of homeless individuals is adults. However, throughout
Orange County, stakeholders have anecdotally reported an increase in the number of seniors and youth (under
the age of 24) entering the homeless system.

A Chronically Homeless Individual is an unaccompanied homeless individual (living in an emergency shelter or
in an unsheltered location) with a disabling condition that has been continuously homeless for a year or more,
or has had at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years. Of those homeless individuals that
were reported as chronically homeless, 1,932 individuals were sheltered and 559 individuals were unsheltered
in Orange County. The data is not available for just the City of Newport.
Specific to the City of Newport Beach, 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 2
homeless families with at least one adult and one child, comprised of 2 families living in emergency or transitional

Specific to the City of Newport Beach, 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 0 sheltered veterans and 4 unsheltered veterans.
Specific to the City of Newport Beach, unaccompanied youth are individuals under the age of 25 years old,
who are presumed to be emancipated if they are unsheltered without an adult. There were 0 unsheltered
unaccompanied youth and 0 sheltered unaccompanied youth.
Additionally in Orange County, 984 homeless individuals were categorized as having mental health issues
according to the Orange County Homeless Count & Survey 2019 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. The data is not available for just Newport Beach.
Further, the Orange County Homeless Count & Survey 2019 Report revealed 106 homeless people with
HIV/AIDS, including 39 individuals who were sheltered and 67 who were unsheltered in Orange County.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families
of veterans.
According to the Orange County 2019 PIT Count, there were 466 homeless families with at least one adult
and one child, comprised of 356 families (1,154 people) living in emergency or transitional shelters and 110
unsheltered families (396 people) in need of housing assistance. Countywide, an estimated 466 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 99 sheltered veterans and 212 unsheltered veterans. Countywide, an
estimated 311 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 regarding data for Orange County, an estimated 79.7 percent of unsheltered
homeless individuals were identified as White in terms of race and 63.8 percent of unsheltered homeless
individuals were identified as non -Hispanic in terms of ethnicity. The next largest unsheltered racial groups
include Black/African American (12.3 percent) and Asian (3.5 percent). None of the racial groups were
disproportionately represented amongst the homeless population. The data for only the homeless population
in Newport Beach is not available
Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment
23-93
Approximately 3,961 people or 57 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 2,899 people or
43 percent of homeless people counted were sheltered. Of the 2,899 people sheltered, 2,011 were in
emergency shelters, 888 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 22, 2019 revealed that on any given night in Orange
County, approximately 6,860 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. 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.
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. There is further need for increased resources and outreach to address
unsheltered veterans, seniors, and transitional aged youth.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment -
91.205
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 2011-2015 CHAS data, of the 14,665
households containing at least one elderly person, 35 percent (5,132 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
(86,605) in Newport Beach, 6,621 persons have a disability. Of these 6,621 disabled persons, 1,934 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 2012 study on Alcohol and Other Drug Use Prevalence by the Orange County
Health Care Agency, there were estimated 5,500 hospitalizations and 700 deaths related to substance abuse
each year.
HIVIAIDS: 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. According to HIV Surveillance Statistics from the Orange County Health
Care Agency reported 6,369 persons living with HIV disease at the end of 2018. 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 2018, the Newport Beach Police Department responded to a
total of 255 calls related to domestic violence. Of these calls, 209 of these domestic incidents did not involve a
weapon. However, 46 calls involved a weapon of which 3 involved a firearm, 4 involved a knife or cutting
instrument, 4 involved other dangerous weapons and 35 involved personal weapons such as feet or hands.
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 2019, the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force reported a total of 415
incidents of human trafficking in Orange County as follows:
• Type of Trafficking
• Sex — 359
• Labor— 48
• Sex and Labor — 6
• Unknown — 2
• Gender
• Female — 389
• Male — 26
• Age

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 2019 PIT Count, reported 311 homeless veterans. Of these
veterans, 99 were sheltered in either emergency or transitional housing, while 212 these homeless veterans
remained unsheltered.
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 national and local data sources. 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 non-profit organizations to avoid becoming homeless or institutionalized.
For persons with HIV/AIDS, there are various Orange County non-profit organizations that provide testing to
prevent and detect HIV/AIDS issues as well as provide healthcare and supportive services.
Various Orange County non-profit organizations also provide supportive services to victims of domestic
violence such as food aid, counseling, case management, and housing.
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 6,396 people were identified as having HIV/AIDS. According to HIV Surveillance Statistics from
the Orange County Health Care Agency 2018, of the 6,549 estimated persons living with HIV in Orange
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment
35
23-97
County, 81.7% were linked to HIV care compared to California's 2012 percentage of 52 percent. 60.8 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.
Hispanics estimated to be living with HIV in Orange County are more likely to be linked to HIV care (48.2
percent) than other race/ethnicity groups. However, younger persons (0-18 years) estimated to be living with
HIV are less likely to be linked to care (24 percent). Men are more likely to experience mortality than women
in Orange County. With 4.4 death rates among men per 100,000 compared to 0.6 death rates among women
per 100,000 in Orange County.
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).
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 drug and substance abuse and nutritional meals program for homebound
seniors.

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.
In consultation with stakeholders, there is a need 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 senior centers, childcare centers, youth centers, parks,
community centers, and further health care facilities in response to COVID-19.
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 input,
stakeholder 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.

Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services:
Public service activities are consistently ranked as a high priority by residents and other stakeholders. 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: senior activities,
youth activities, childcare activities, and economic development programs.
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 utilizes 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.

MA -05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:
This section evaluates existing housing market conditions in Newport Beach in terms of housing supply,
demand, condition and cost. Newport Beach's housing stock primarily consists of single-family detached
residential dwellings (48 percent) and single units in attached structures (17 percent), with 16,590 or 79 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 (7,215 units or 42 percent) or one bedrooms
(4,345 units or 25 percent).
According to Zillow, in the years between January 2015 to January 2020, the median sales price of a home in
Newport Beach increased by 17% from $1,570,000 to $1,840,000. According to Zumper, a rental listing
aggregator, average rents for 1 -bedroom, 2 -bedroom, and 3 -bedroom all increased from January 2015 to
February 2020. Both Zillow and Zumper data exceeded the ACS 2011-2015 estimated documented in the
Cost of Housing table below. As a result, some Newport Beach households have become cost burdened. Data
from 2011-2015 shows that there is an insufficient number of housing units affordable to people with incomes
less than 30% of AMI and for those between 30 and 80% of AMI.
Of the 11,895 households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City, 8,943 are cost burdened households —
meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Additionally, 6,614 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 6,614 severely cost burdened households, 4,410 are renters.
Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 3,320 households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and
are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless.
According to Table 34 there are 4.670 housing units in the City of Newport Beach affordable to households
earning less than 80 percent of AMI. According to Table 7, there are 11,895 households in Newport Beach
who earn less than 80 percent of AMI, resulting in an estimated need for approximately 7,225 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 investigates and researches 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, housing affordability will
remain a significant challenge during the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.

Introduction
According to 2011-2015 ACS data, 76 percent of the City's housing stock is comprised of single-family housing
(1-4 units). Multifamily housing (5+ units) accounts for only 23 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 (79 percent) is comprised of larger units containing three or
more bedrooms. In comparison, only 27 percent of the City's rental housing is comprised of larger units. The
tables below indicate the number of residential properties in the City by property type, unit size and tenure.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and
local programs.
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,
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Markel: Analysis

23-106
or mortgage insurance, to an assisted housing development, establishes maximum limitations on tenant income
as a condition of eligibility for occupancy.
As of October 2019, the City monitors a total of 7 affordable housing projects in Newport Beach. The 7
projects consist of a total of 270 units restricted to low- and moderate -income households. All but two of
these 7 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.
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, 2025 revealed that 43 of the 270 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 270 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 210 low- and moderate -income Newport Beach households, of which
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis
95
95
23-107
90 percent are renters who have more than 1.01 people per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers,
halls, or half -rooms. There are 3,320 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:
Of the 3,320 renter households who earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are severely cost burdened paying
more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs:
• 520 are small related households with four or fewer members
• 35 are large related households with five or more members
• 629 are elderly households with one or more members over the age of 62
• 400 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.
,f I:
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 2019, a
report released by the National Low -Income Housing Coalition), Orange County renters must earn $39.17
per hour or $81,480 per year in order to afford a two-bedroom apartment at Fair Market Rent. At minimum
wage, approximately 131 hours of work per week is required in order to afford this two-bedroom apartment
at Fair Market Rent in Orange County. By comparison, the national Housing Wage for 2019 was $22.96 and
the statewide housing wage was $34.69.
As noted in the 2014-2021 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;

MA -IS 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 35 and 36 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.
However, in looking at more current housing sales and rental market data — the cost of housing has risen
tremendously over the past five years.
According to Zumper, a rental listing aggregator, average rents for 1 -bedroom, 2 -bedroom, and 3 -bedroom
all rose from January 2015 to February 2020 and significantly exceeded the median contract rent as reported
by the ACS 2011-2015 estimates documented in the Cost of Housing table below.
Similarly, owner -occupied housing costs have also increased over the past five years. According to Zillow, from
January 2015 to January 2020, the median sales price rose from $1,570,000 to $1,840,000 (an increase of
17%), far outpacing the ACS estimates for median home value.
Based on the reported housing costs, Table 37 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 2011-2015 CHAS and ACS data, there is insufficient affordable housing in the City, Table 37
indicates that only 4,670 of the City's 38,070 housing units (12.2 percent) are affordable to households earning
100 percent or less of HAMFI while there are 14,230 such households in Newport Beach.
Approximately 4,235 households earning less than 30 percent of AMI reside in the City; however, there are
only approximately 410 dwelling units affordable to those at this income level. Similarly, the City has 3,250
households earning between 31 and 50 percent of AMI and only 910 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 4,410 households earning between 81 and 100 percent AMI but only 3,350 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.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
Affordability of housing is likely to worsen as Newport Beach households have become increasingly cost
burdened from 2015 to 2020. According to Zillow, in the years between January 2015 to January 2020, the
median sales price of a home in Newport Beach increased by 17% from $1,570,000 to $1,840,000. According
to Zumper, a rental listing aggregator, average rents for 1 -bedroom, 2 -bedroom, and 3 -bedroom all increased
from January 2015 to February 2020. Both Zillow and Zumper data exceeded the ACS 2011-2015 estimated
documented in the Cost of Housing table.
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 2011-2015 ACS data was $1,929. According to Zumper, a rental listing
aggregator, average rents for 1 -bedroom, 2 -bedroom, and 3 -bedroom all increased from January 2015 to
February 2020. Zumper data exceeded the ACS 2011-2015 estimated values. According to data in Table 32,
73 percent of rental units have two or fewer bedrooms. According to data in Table 8, 205 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 significant operating income when renting the unit at Low HOME rent levels
instead of Fair Market Rent.

Discussion
According to Zillow, in the years between January 2015 to January 2020, the median sales price of a home in
Newport Beach increased by 17% from $1,570,000 to $1,840,000. According to Zumper, a rental listing
aggregator, average rents for 1 -bedroom, 2 -bedroom, and 3 -bedroom all increased from January 2015 to
February 2020. Both Zillow and Zumper data exceeded the ACS 2011-2015 estimated documented in the
Cost of Housing table below. As a result, some Newport Beach households have become cost burdened. Data
from 2011-2015 shows that there is an insufficient number of housing units affordable to people with incomes
less than 30% of AMI and for those between 30 and 80% of AMI.
Data from 2011-2015 shows that there is an insufficient number of housing units affordable to people with
incomes less than 50 percent of AMI. In light of scarce land and monetary resources available to create new
affordable housing units and rising prices, housing affordability is expected to remain a significant challenge in
the next five years.

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 8 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
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.

Table 41 - Vacant Unite
The City of Newport Beach does not have data for vacancy counts sorted by what is suitable for rehabilitation
and not suitable for rehabilitation as per Table 42. According to RealtyTrac on April 7, 2020, there were 6 un-
occupied bank -owned properties in Newport Beach that could be potentially suitable for rehabilitation.
Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
The age and condition of Newport Beach's housing stock is an important indicator of potential rehabilitation
needs. 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.

23-117
According to 2011-2015 HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, approximately
5,680 or 27 percent of the 20,920 owner -occupied housing units in Newport Beach were built between 15
and 34 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999), with another 11,905 or 57 percent of the 20,920 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. The City presently has 845 mobile home spaces in ten mobile
home parks. Of these mobile home parks, one (Beach and Bay Mobile Home Park) appears to be in substantial
physical decline with two others (Marina Park Mobile Home Park and Seacliffe Mobile Home Park) approved
for closure since 2006.
The City is cognizant of the need for rehabilitation of low- and moderate -income housing units and as such,
adopted Goal H5 on their 2014 Housing Element which calls for the City to work with the Orange County
Housing Authority to establish a Senior/Disabled or Limited Income Repair Loan and Grant Program to
underwrite all or part of the cost of necessary housing modifications and repairs. The City is currently
conducting an analysis of different programs and the financial feasibility of participating in such
programs. Currently, the City refers low- and moderate -income residents to Orange County for rehabilitation
of mobile homes, to Neighborhood Housing for first time buyer programs, and to Rebuilding Together for
handyman service for low-income and senior households.
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. Consequently, there are just over 10,000 homes
that were built before 1978 in Newport that 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 pg/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 pg/dL, an "elevated" blood lead level
is no longer defined at a particular cut point. Therefore, categories indicating increased levels of exposure are
presented here.
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis
106
106
23-118
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 pg/dL, or persistent levels between 15-19 pg/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 41 shows the number of children tested, BLLs indicating
increased exposure, and cases in the City of Newport Beach. Table 41 provides this data for the years 2011-
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 (64 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 23 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 41, 1,474 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 — indicating that the housing stock is suitable for habitation.
However, cost is an issue that needs to be overcome. There is a risk of lead-based paint hazard to some low -
and moderate -income residents, but it is not the most prevalent condition.

Describe the restoration and revitalization needs of public housing units in the jurisdiction:
There are no public housing units in Newport Beach owned by OCHA. OCHA uses HQS standards for the
inspection of all voucher units. OCHA only operates Housing Choice Voucher -based assistance.
Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderate -
income families residing in public housing:
OCHA continues to work to de -concentrate households from older cities to more desirable south county
cities and coastal areas. Additionally, OCHA continues to address the affordability gap and identify ways to
leverage additional programs to limit the amount of cost -burdened households.
Internally, OCHA maintains a goal of retaining a high Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP)
rating in voucher management and program operations to ensure it is effectively and efficiently serving the
needs of residents.
Discussion:
OCHA is well-positioned to maintain and expand the supply of affordable housing units in the City of Newport
Beach and throughout Orange County through its partnerships with the State of California, Orange County
Department of Community Development and Housing, the City of Newport Beach and other cities throughout
the county and Housing Partners.

Homeless
Introduction
Over the past two years, Orange County has implemented policy and program changes aimed at ensuring
homeless persons in Orange County are rapidly housed and that local resources are invested in programs with
proven impacts on reducing homelessness. 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.
According to the 2019 CoC Homeless Inventory Count Report, there were a total of 821 emergency shelter
beds, 366 transitional housing beds, and 1,369 permanent supportive housing beds. Of the 821 emergency
shelter beds, 801 were year-round beds and 20 were voucher, seasonal, or overflow beds, Of the 801 year-
round beds, 552 were for households with adults and children, 225 were for households with only adults, and
24 were for unaccompanied youth. The 20 voucher, seasonal, or overflow beds were for households with
adults and children. Of the 366 transitional housing beds, 217 were for households with adults and children
while 149 were for households with only adults. Of the 1,369 permanent supportive housing beds, 665 were
for households with adults and children, 150 were for households with only adults, 281 were for chronically
homeless households, 261 were for veterans, and 12 were for unaccompanied youth.

Describe mainstream services, such as health, mental health, and employment services to the extent those
services are use to complement services targeted to homeless persons
In California, the primary programs for assisting families in poverty are CalWORKS, CalFresh, and Medi -Cal.
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 for homeless persons.
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. This helps homeless persons retain basic needs and allows them to
become self -sustainable through Welfare -to -Work services.
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. This helps homeless
persons receive the food they need.
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.
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.
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.
As listened in screen SP -40; the Fair Housing Foundation is a non-profit organization that actively supports
housing needs of these populations through education, advocacy, and litigation to ensure access to safe housing
and to prevent discrimination against a person's race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin,

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.
Based on 2011-2015 CHAS data, of the 14,665 households containing at least one elderly person, 35 percent
(5,132 households) of which 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 (86,605) in Newport Beach,
6,621 persons have a disability. Of these 6,621 disabled persons, 1,934 are between the ages of 18-64 years
of age.
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. The 2017 California HIV Surveillance report published by the California
Department of Public Health reported 7,294 residents with HIV in Orange County.
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 2018, the Newport Beach Police Department responded to a total of 255 calls related to domestic
violence. Of these calls, 209 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 exploitative nature can come in the form
of labor services, involuntary servitude, enslavement, debt bondage or commercial sex acts. In 2016, the Orange
County Human Trafficking Task Force reported a total of 284 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.
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.
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.
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)

During the 2020-2024 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.
In the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan, the City will provide CDBG public service funds to the following activities
addressing these needs: First, is Fair Housing Services that provide access to fair affordable housing by providing
fair housing education, counseling, anti -discrimination, and landlord -tenant mediation services. Second, is Age
Well Senior Services that provides home delivered meals for elderly and especially frail elderly persons.

MA -40 Barriers to Affordable Housing -
F
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 the community meeting, the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment
Survey, the 2014-2021 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. About 40 percent of the
City's 38,070 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
2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey indicate a high need for additional affordable housing
in Newport Beach.

- Non -Housing Community i Irl sets - 91.215
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
2020-2024 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 2020-2021 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.

MA -50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated?
(include a definition of "concentration")
For, the purposes of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, "multiple housing problems" as census tracts with 20
percentage points more than the City's overall share of cost burdened and overcrowded households. No
Census Tract fits this definition in the City of Newport Beach.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are
concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
For the purposes of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, we are defining a "minority concentration" as census
tracts that are 20 percentage points above the City's overall share of minority population. There are no census
tracts that meet this definition of minority concentration. However, there are areas where there are more
people of Hispanic descent. First, is the Census Tract located in the eastern part of the City. Second, is the
Census Tract located in the northern part of the City.
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 generally similar income in neighborhoods. In the Census Tracts
that contain a higher concentration of the Asian and Hispanic 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 outside of further investment to address housing problems like cost burden and
overcrowding in the affected areas.

MA -65 Hazard
Mitigation E J E i
Describe the jurisdiction's increased natural hazard risks associated with climate
change.
Climate change has increased the prevalence and severity of natural hazard risks such as droughts, flash floods,
extreme heat events, landslides, and wildfires. Climate change intensifies dry seasons that create greater
susceptibility to wildfires. This can have further indirect effects on potential future flooding and landslides due
to decreased vegetation that was lost to wildfires. More dense vegetation has mitigating effects on the intensity
and likelihood of flooding and landslides due to its roots and connecting the soil to decrease susceptibility to
dangerous floods and landslides. Extreme heat events due to climate change can disparately affect low- and
moderate -income residents who cannot afford utility bills to cool down enough to prevent heat stroke
especially in people with vulnerable pre-existing medical conditions. Areas of Newport Beach that are within
100 -year food plain included stretches of land northeast of Huntington Beach. Additionally, there is a risk in
areas near the Santa Ana River.
Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate -income households based
on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.
Low- and moderate -income residents and special needs populations are especially vulnerable to the risks of
climate -related hazard risks. The residences of low- and moderate -income households are more often in worse
condition and thus are more susceptible to external weather conditions such as extreme heat. Likewise, elderly
residents are at a greater risk to weather conditions such as extreme heat. :ower income residents are more
likely to lack funds to prepare food, water, and emergency supplies that are necessary immediately natural
disasters such as wildfires or flooding.

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, 2020 and ending June 30, 2025. The priority needs and goals established in this Strategic Plan (Plan) are
based on analysis of information including the results of the City's 2020-2024 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 2011-2015 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- and moderate -income residents
• Prevent and eliminate homelessness
• Improve public facilities and infrastructure
• Address material barriers to accessibility
• Economic development assistance
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 five measurable Strategic Plan goals:
• Program Administration
• Fair Housing Services
• Public Service
• Homeless Services
• Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements
• Economic Development Assistance

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.

Description
The prevalence of homelessness in Orange County and Newport Beach correlates
with the rising cost of housing, which has created more housing instability and the
likelihood that a household disruption such as an unanticipated medical cost, job loss
or change or other event can cause homelessness.
As such, the need for comprehensive homeless services, programming and facilities is
a critical need within the City. This need includes early intervention homeless
prevention, increasing the supply of emergency and transitional shelter options,
permanent housing solutions, and the provision of critical services to those who are
at -risk of becoming homeless, currently homeless, or recently homeless.

development of affordable multifamily rental units as it is to subsidize home purchase

to develop new housing units.
Rehabilitation
The City will invest non-CDBG 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
non-CDBG resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to
low- and moderate -income households in the community. Additionally, rehabilitation
will assist in resolving housing problems that residents face throughout Newport
Beach. 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 shown,
including
thousands of Newport Beach households are cost burdened or face one of the five
preservation
housing problems. They are likely eligible for newly acquired and rehabilitated
affordable housing units. The City of Newport Beach will use non-CDBG 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.

Introduction
For program year 2020-2021, the City will receive $372,831 of CDBG funds from HUD. When these amounts
are combined with prior year resources of $201,511 available for inclusion in the 2020 Annual Action Plan,
the City will allocate $574,342. The City anticipates the availability of approximately $2.17 million of CDBG
resources during the five-year period beginning July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2025.
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and
local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied

housing. If such sites are identified, the City will consider the use of CDBG or other resources to assist with
site preparation. At the point of developing this Consolidated Plan and Action Plan, the City does not have any
publicly owned land that can be used to support the development of affordable housing within the City of
Newport Beach.

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 nonprofit
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 housing developers and contractors. Public service activities will be carried out by nonprofit
organizations and the Planning Division of the Community Development Department as necessary to achieve
the Strategic Plan goals. The Planning Division and the Engineering Division will work together with contractors
to implement public facilities and improvement projects. There is additional need for gaps in assisting with fair
housing services and homeless prevention services. Rising housing prices from 2015 to 2020 have increased
the amount of residents that are cost -burdened. There are gaps in accessibility features to public facilities as
non-profit organizations cannot provide these upgrades for the City themselves.

Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above meet the needs
of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans
and their families, and unaccompanied youth)
The City of Newport Beach's CDBG public service programs implemented by local nonprofit service providers
may include activities focused on the provision of services to address the needs of homeless persons, particularly
chronically homeless individuals, families with children, veterans and their families and unaccompanied youth.
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. Inflation
has diminished the relative purchasing power of these programs over the years and budget increases have not
substantially kept pace with inflation. Finally, as the City's HUD grants have steadily declined, 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.

Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system
for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs
To address the lack of resources necessary to fully support local programs in Newport Beach for special needs
populations and persons experiencing homelessness, the City prioritizes services for population segments with
the greatest level of need for a particular program or activity and intends to invest grant resources in high
leverage opportunities where data suggests that the City and its partners will be able to maximize the impact
of every dollar.

Voluntary Compliance Agreement)
The OCHA does not have a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement. 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 Iimited.00HA also manages a Housing Choice Voucher

SP -55 Barriers to affordable housing - 91.215(h)
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 2014-2021 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. About 40 percent of the
City's 38,070 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
2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey indicate a high need for additional affordable housing
in Newport Beach.

Sig -60 Homelessness Strategy - 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing
their individual needs
The City of Newport Beach partners with City Net to conduct outreach to homeless individuals and evaluate
their individual needs. City Net is an organization that coordinates outreach among homeless service providers
in the county with vulnerable homeless neighbors. City Net collects data for a Homeless Services Dashboard
Report with frequent meetings on how to improve public services.
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.
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.
The CoC utilizes the (CES) Coordinated Entry System that enables people to move through the system faster
by reducing the amount of time people spend moving from program to program. Secondly, it reduces new
entries into homelessness by offering prevention resources. Third, it improves data collection and quality
information to enable providing more accurate information on what kind of assistance is needed.
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.
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan
153
23-165
2-1-1 CoC assists homeless residents in connecting with homeless prevention programs. 2-1-1 CoC maintains
a list of homeless shelters and services in the region. City Net collects data on homeless persons to better
enable homeless service providers to better fulfill their mission. Additionally, Homeless Shelter Directory is a
non-profit organization that provides a directory for resources in the City of Newport Beach.
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. The Cold Weather Shelter program provides up to 400 beds for homeless
along with showers, warm clothing, and free nutritious meals during cold weather. These beds are located in
Fullerton and Santa Ana.
For transitional housing, the CoC 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.
The City supports a number of programs to assist low-income individuals and families to avoid becoming
homeless, including Section 8 Housing Choice vouchers. Other support services, such as job and training
assistance, food assistance, and counseling are also available to help individuals recover from homelessness and
to avoid becoming homeless. Case management services are offered to help prevent individuals from falling
back into homelessness.
2-1-1 CoC maintains a list of homeless shelters and services in the region that homeless residents or at -risk
residents can utilize. Additionally, Homeless Shelter Directory is a non-profit organization that provides a
directory for resources in the City of Newport Beach.
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. Many transitional housing providers are working with the Commission to End
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan"54

Homelessness to evaluate strategies to lower program threshold requirements and improve outcomes
including shorter shelter stays and more rapid transitions to permanent housing.
2-1-1 CoC assists homeless residents in connecting with homeless prevention programs. City Net collects data
on homeless persons to better enable homeless service providers to better fulfill their mission.
Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals
and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or
system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health,
social services, employment, education or youth needs
An individual or family is considered to be at -risk of becoming homeless if it experiences extreme difficulty
maintaining their housing and has no reasonable alternatives for obtaining subsequent 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 24-hour/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.

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 22,835 of the City's 43,685 total housing units (52.2
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.
The City of Newport Beach does not have updated data for lead based paint hazards for 2020.
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. More recent data is not
available for Newport Beach.
• 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.
[-low 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.

SP -70 Arai -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 2011-2015 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 five goals of
the 2020-2024 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 utilizing non -HUD resources throughout the County to
ensure low income households have a safe, decent and appropriate place to live; and
• Supporting public services through the nonprofits funded by CDBG that serve the community's
youth, seniors, families and those with special needs.
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.
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
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Stratc6ic Plan
157
23-169
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.

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 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.

Introduction
For program year 2020-2021, the City will receive $372,831 of CDBG funds from HUD. When these amounts
are combined with prior year resources of $201,511 available for inclusion in the 2020 Annual Action Plan,
the City will allocate $574,342. The City anticipates the availability of approximately $2.17 million of CDBG
resources during the five-year period beginning July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2025.
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and
local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Depending on the financing structure of a given activity, it may be advantageous for the City to use CDBG
funds to leverage appropriate state, local, and private resources, including but not limited to those listed below.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to
address the needs identified in the plan
Newport Beach will comply with new State requirements under AB1486 and AB1255 to inventory and
support developers to access and utilize surplus municipal and state land for the construction of affordable
housing. If such sites are identified, the City will consider the use of CDBG or other resources to assist with
site preparation. At the point of developing this Consolidated Plan and Action Plan, the City does not have any
publicly owned land that can be used to support the development of affordable housing within the City of
Newport Beach.
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 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing
underserved needs
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating a majority of its non -administrative CDBG funds for program
year 2020-2024 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate -income people throughout the City.
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 2020-2021 Action
Plan in projects that provide public services to low- and moderate -income people and projects that prevent
homelessness as well as strengthen economic opportunities for the low- and moderate -income residents of
Newport Beach.

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.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
The City's investments in Fair Housing Services, Public 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 seniors and homeless individuals.

Introduction
The City of Newport Beach will look at using non-CDBG local, state, and federal funding sources to develop
new housing units. 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 non-CDBG resources to retain
existing housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate -income households in the community.
Additionally, rehabilitation will assist in resolving housing problems that residents face throughout Newport
Beach. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities ensures that all
economic segments of the community have the opportunityto live in decent housing that meets local standards.
Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing
Based on evaluation of 2011-2015 ACS and CHAS data, there is a 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, 8,943 are cost burdened households — meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income
for housing. Additionally, 6,614 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 4,410 severely
cost burdened households, 3,580 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 3,320
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:
• 5,680 or 27 percent of the 20,920 owner -occupied housing units built between 15 and 34 years ago
(built between 1980 and 1999).
• 11,905 or 57 percent of the 20,920 owner -occupied housing units in Newport Beach were built 34
or more years ago (built prior to 1980).
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan

23-184
4,745 or 28 percent of the 17,160 renter -occupied housing units in Newport Beach were built
between 15 and 34 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999).
10,930 or 63 percent of the 17,160 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.

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

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 OCHA
program tenants.

AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.220(i)
Introduction
The City will invest CDBG funds during the 2020-2021 program year to address high priority needs identified
in the 2020-2024 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 22, 2019, on any given night in Orange County, approximately 6,860 people are
homeless. 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 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 that may be addressed by non-profit organizations. Non-profit organizations
currently exist to fulfill some of these needs of individuals. Organizations such as Human Options, an Orange
County -based non-profit that provides assistance to individuals experiencing domestic violence. Laura's House
provides emergency shelter to women and children fleeing domestic violence situations. Radiant Health Centers
provides services for those with HIV/AIDS such as free HIV and Hepatitis C testing.
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 (12 people)
• Newport Beach Motel Voucher Program (15 people)
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan
176
23-188
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 12 additional unduplicated
people because of CDBG funding. In addition, the City will support a City -run motel voucher program to assist
15 homeless individuals.
Other organizations in the Continuum of Care (CoC) addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing
needs of homeless persons include City Net, 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 12 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, 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.
City Net is an organization that coordinates outreach among homeless service providers in the county with
vulnerable homeless neighbors. City Net collects data for a Homeless Services Dashboard Report with frequent
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan
177
23-189
meetings on how to improve public services that enables organizations in Newport Beach to better coordinate
their efforts and leverage key synergies.
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.
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.

AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing - 01,220(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 2014-2021 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 38,075 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
2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey indicate a high need for additional affordable housing
in Newport Beach.
Actions 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.
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. City Net has

supported resident referrals by coordinating connections between low- and moderate income residents and
applicable support networks.

AP -85 Other Actions - 91.220(k)
Introduction:
In the implementation of the 2020-2021 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 2020-2021 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 2020-2021 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 2020-2021 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 activities funded with other non-CDBG federal, state and local resources will support
the City's effort in reducing 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;
Newport Beach Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan
181
23-193
• 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; and
• Supporting public services through various nonprofits funded by CDBG that serve the community's
youth, seniors, families and those with special needs.
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. Organizations such as
City Net coordinate housing support groups to increase coordination and leverage key synergies to improve
resident outcomes. 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.
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.

Citizen Participation Plan
As required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
regulations found at 24 CFR 91.105, this Citizen Participation Plan sets forth the
City of Newport Beach's policies and procedures for providing citizens and other
interested parties with opportunities to participate in an advisory role in the
planning, implementation, and evaluation of the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) program. The purpose of the CDBG program is the provision of
decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic
opportunities for low- and moderate -income residents earning less than 80 percent
of the Area Median Income, or in predominantly low- and moderate -income
neighborhoods where at least 51 percent of the households are low and moderate -
income households.
As a recipient of CDBG funds, the City is required to produce the following
Consolidated Plan Documents:
1. Citizen Participation Plan - the City's policies and procedures for
community participation in the planning, implementation, and evaluation
of the CDBG program.
2. Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice or Assessment of Fair
Housing (AI or AFH) - a five-year plan completed by the City individually
or as part of a local consortium of other HUD grantees pursuant to HUD
guidance for the evaluation of local housing conditions, economics,
policies and practices and the extent to which these factors impact the
range of housing choices and opportunities available to all residents in an
environment free from discrimination.
3. Consolidated Plan - a five-year plan that documents the City of Newport
Beach's housing and community development needs, outlines strategies
to address those needs and identifies proposed program
accomplishments.
4. Annual Action Plan - an annual plan that describes specific CDBG projects
and activities that will be undertaken over the course of the program
year, which runs from July 1 to June 30.
5. Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) - an
annual report that evaluates the City's accomplishments and use of CDBG
funds.
The HUD requirements for citizen participation do not restrict the responsibility or
authority of the City of Newport Beach for the development and execution of the
Consolidated Plan Documents, but rather facilitate citizen access to, and
engagement with the CDBG program.
In accordance with the regulations, the minimum annual number of public hearings
at which citizens may express their views concerning the Consolidated Plan
Documents shall be two (2) public hearings. These public hearings shall occur at
two different points during the program year, as directed by the Newport Beach
CDBG Advisory Committee. Additional public hearings and comment periods will be
held in the development of the AFH or AI and the Consolidated Plan for 2020-2024

and in the event of substantial amendments to the Citizen Participation Plan,
Consolidated Plan, AFH or AI, or Action Plan become necessary as described later in
this document. The City, at its discretion, may conduct additional outreach, public
meetings or public hearings as necessary to foster citizen access and engagement.
A. Encouragement of Citizen Participation
The City of Newport Beach provides for and encourages citizens to participate in the
development of the Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated Plan, AFH or AI, Action
Plan, and CAPER. The City encourages participation by low- and moderate -income
persons, particularly those living in slum and blighted areas (if any such areas are
formally designated) and in areas where CDBG funds are proposed to be used, and
by residents of predominantly low- and moderate -income neighborhoods'. The City
will also take appropriate actions to encourage the participation of all its citizens,
including minorities and non-English speaking persons, as well as persons with
disabilities.
The City will make a concerted effort to notify and encourage the participation of
citizens, local and regional institutions, the local Continuum of Care organization
addressing homelessness, and public and private organizations including
businesses, developers, nonprofit organizations, philanthropic organizations,
community-based and faith -based organizations, broadband internet service
providers, organizations engaged in narrowing the digital divide, agencies whose
primary responsibilities include the management of flood prone areas, public land or
water resources, emergency management agencies, state and local health service
providers, social service providers, fair housing organizations, state and .local
governments, public housing agencies, affordable housing developers, businesses,
community and faith based organizations, and other stakeholders in the
amendment of the Citizen Participation Plan or the development of the AI or AFH,
Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plans through mailings (including electronic
mailings), online postings and public notices in the newspaper.
The City may also explore alternative public involvement techniques and
quantitative ways to measure efforts that encourage citizen participation in a
shared vision for change in communities and neighborhoods, and the review of
program performance as directed by the CDBG Advisory Committee comprised of
the City Manager, the Community Development Director and the Principal Planner.
All communication, public comments, and complaints concerning the Citizen
Participation Plan and the Consolidated Plan Documents should be directed to:

B. Citizen Participation Plan
The following describes the process and procedures related to the development of
the Citizen Participation Plan.
1. Plan Development
The City's Citizen Participation Plan development procedures are outlined below.
a. Plan Considerations
As a part of the Citizen Participation Plan process, and prior to the adoption
of the Consolidated Plan, the City will make available the information
required by HUD. This information will be made available to citizens, public
agencies, and other interested parties.
The information to be supplied will include: the amount of funding that the
City expects to receive (including grant funds and program income, as
applicable), the range of activities that may be undertaken, and the
estimated amount of funds that will benefit persons of low- and moderate -
income.
The City will also provide an assessment of community development and
housing needs and identify short-term and long-term community
development objectives directed toward the provision of decent housing and
the expansion of economic opportunities primarily for persons of low- and
moderate -income.
Additionally, the City must attest to its compliance with the acquisition and
relocation requirements of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real
Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and implementing
regulations at 49 CFR 24, as effectuated by the City's adopted Residential
Anti -Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan, as required under Section
104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as
amended. The City's CDBG Residential Anti -Displacement and Relocation
Assistance Plan may be found in Section M of this document.
b. Plan Review and Comment
The draft Citizen Participation Plan shall be made available for public review
for a 30 -day period. The Citizen Participation Plan shall be provided in a
format accessible to persons with disabilities upon request. Such formats
may include, but are not limited to providing oral, Braille, electronic or large
print versions of the plan to those visually impaired and delivering copies to
those who are homebound. The Citizen Participation Plan will encourage
comment and participation by minority and non-English speakers. Publication
of the plan will be advertised in other non-English languages as specified in
the City's Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan and translation services will
be available upon request.

F. Analysis of Impediments or Assessment of Fair Housing (Al or AFH)
The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) or Assessment of Fair
Housing (AFH) is a five-year plan completed by the City individually or as part of a
local consortium of other HUD grantees pursuant to HUD guidance for the
evaluation of local housing conditions, economics, policies and practices and the
extent to which these factors impact the range of housing choices and opportunities
available to all residents in an environment free from discrimination. As of April
2019, HUD has suspended the AFH planning framework. HUD currently requires the
submission of an Al for grantees submitting Consolidated Plans for FY2019. The
following describes the process and procedures related to the development of the
AI or AFH.
1. Plan Development
The City shall follow the following procedure in the drafting and adoption of
the AI or AFH:
a. Plan Considerations
As soon as feasible after the start of the public participation process for the
AI or AFH, the City will make the HUD -provided data and any other
supplemental information available to residents, public agencies and other
interested parties by posting the data on the City's website and referencing
this information in public notices.
The City will make a concerted effort to notify and encourage the
participation of citizens, local and regional institutions, the local Continuum of
Care organization addressing homelessness, and public and private
organizations including businesses, developers, nonprofit organizations,
philanthropic organizations, community-based and faith -based organizations,
broadband internet service providers, organizations engaged in narrowing
the digital divide, agencies whose primary responsibilities include the
management of flood prone areas, public land or water resources, emergency
management agencies, state and local health service providers, social service
providers, fair housing organizations, state and local governments, public
housing agencies, affordable housing developers, businesses, community and
faith based organizations, and other stakeholders in the development of the
AI or AFH through mailings (including electronic mailings), online postings
and public notices in the newspaper, as well as telephone or personal
interviews, mail surveys, and consultation workshops.
b. Plan Review and Comment
The draft AI or AFH shall be made available for public review for a 30 -day
period. Written comments will be accepted during public review period by the
Real Property Administrator or designee. A summary of the comments and
the City's responses to the comments will be attached to the draft AI or AFH.
City of Newport Beach
Page 14
Draft Citizen Participation Plan I April 2020

23-218
Copies will be made available following the process described in Section G of
this document.
c. Public Hearing
The City Council shall conduct a public hearing to accept public comments on
the draft AI or AFH. The City Council shall approve or reject the AI or AFH.
Section G describes the process for publishing notice for and conducting
public hearings.
d. Submittal to HUD
Upon adoption of an AI, the City shall retain the AI in its records and
annually report on the status and disposition of the Fair Housing Plan
recommendations. Upon adoption of an AFH, the City shall submit the AFH to
HUD for review and acceptance or rejection. The goals of the AFH shall be
incorporated into the Consolidated Plan prior to submission of the
Consolidated Plan to HUD.
2. AI or AFH Amendment
The City shall follow the following procedure to complete substantial
amendments to AI or AFH, as needed.
a. Amendment Considerations
The City shall substantially amend the AI if a "substantial change" is
proposed by City staff or the City Council. For the purpose of the AI, a
"substantial change" is defined as the addition or deletion of Fair Housing
Plan recommendations.
The City shall substantially amend the AFH if a "substantial change" is
proposed by City staff or the City Council or as otherwise required by HUD.
An AFH that was previously accepted by HUD must be revised and submitted
to HUD for review if a material change occurs. A material change is a change
in circumstances in the jurisdiction of a program participant that affects the
information on which the AFH is based to the extent that the analysis, the
fair housing contributing factors, or the priorities and goals of the AFH no
longer reflect actual circumstances. Examples include Presidentially declared
disasters, under title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), in the program
participant's area that are of such a nature as to significantly impact the
steps a program participant may need to take to affirmatively further fair
housing; significant demographic changes; new significant contributing
factors in the participant's jurisdiction; and civil rights findings,
determinations, settlements (including Voluntary Compliance Agreements),
or court orders; or, upon HUD's written notification specifying a material
change that requires the revision. A revision to the AFH consists of preparing
and submitting amended analyses, assessments, priorities, and goals that
City of Newport Beach
Page 15

23-219
take into account the material change, including any new fair housing issues
and contributing factors that may arise as a result of the material change.
b. Public Review and Comment
The City encourages residents and stakeholders to participate in the
development of substantial amendments. Substantial Amendments to the AI
or AFH shall be made available for public review for a 30 -day period. Written
comments will be accepted by the Community Development Department Real
Property Manager or designee during the public review period. A summary of
the comments and the City's responses to the comments will be attached to
the Consolidated Plan Substantial Amendment.
The City will encourage participation from all residents, especially low- and
moderate -income residents, minorities, and those with disabilities. The City
will take efforts to make the plan accessible to all such groups. Copies will be
made available following the process described in Section G of this
document.
c. Public Hearing
The City Council shall conduct a public hearing to accept public comments on
the draft amendment to the AI or AFH. The City Council may approve or
reject the amendment to the AI or AFH. A revised AFH must be submitted
within 12 months of the onset of a material change that triggers a
"Substantial Amendment," or at such later date as HUD may specify. Section
G describes the process for publishing notice for and conducting public
hearings.
G. Public Hearings, Notification and Access
The following policies and procedures outlining the public hearing process and
public hearing notification apply to the development and substantial amendment of
the Consolidated Plan, Citizen Participation Plan, Annual Action Plan, CAPER, and AI
or AFH.
1. Public Meetings and Hearings

L. CDBG Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR)
In the event of a federally -declared major disaster or emergency for which the City
of Newport Beach is to receive and administer HUD disaster recovery assistance
pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
and related Congressional Appropriations, either directly from HUD or through the
State of California, the following citizen participation requirements shall apply to the
development of Action Plans and Substantial Amendments to Action Plans for
disaster recovery:
1. Before the City adopts the Action Plan for a disaster recovery grant or any
substantial amendment to a regular Action Plan or disaster recovery grant
Action Plan to address matters related to the declared disaster, the City will
publish the proposed plan or amendment on the City website and will cross-
reference with any additional disaster recovery websites established to
provide information to the public concerning assistance that may be
available.
2. The City and/or subrecipients will notify affected citizens through USPS
and/or electronic mailings, press releases, public service announcements,
public notice(s), and/or through social media.
3. The City will ensure that all citizens have equal access to information about
the programs, including persons with disabilities and Limited English
Proficiency (LEP) persons. Program information will be made available in the
appropriate languages for the City.
4. Subsequent to publication of the Action Plan or substantial amendment, the
City will provide a reasonable opportunity of at least seven (7) days for
receiving comments, or a different period as prescribed by HUD or the
Federal Register Notice governing administration of the HUD disaster
recovery assistance.
5. The City will take comments via USPS mail to: Real Property Administrator,
Community Development Department, 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport
Beach, CA 92660.
6. In the action plan, the City will specify criteria for determining what changes
in the City's plan constitute a substantial amendment to the plan. At a
minimum, the following modifications will constitute a substantial
amendment: a change in program benefit or eligibility criteria; the addition
or deletion of an activity; or the allocation or reallocation of a monetary
threshold of more than $750,000.
7. A public website shall be established and publicized specifically for the
disaster. Initially, the City's CDBG website may be used at:

(QPR); procurement policies and procedures; executed contracts; status of
City of Newport Beach
Page 22
Draft Citizen Participation Plan I April 2020
25
23-226
services or goods currently being procured by the City (e.g., phase of the
procurement, requirements for proposals, etc.).

complaint, to the extent practicable.
10.The City will notify HUD when it makes any plan amendment that is not
substantial. HUD or the State will be notified at least five business days
before the amendment becomes effective.
M. Anti -Displacement and Relocation
The City's Anti -displacement and Relocation Plan describes how Newport Beach will
assist persons who must be temporarily relocated or permanently displaced due to
the use of HUD CPD funds. This plan takes effect whenever the City funds projects
that involve the following:
• Property acquisition;
• Potential displacement of people from their homes and the need to
relocate people (either permanently or temporarily); and
• The demolition or conversion of low- and moderate -income dwelling units.
1. Background
Two acts apply whenever any of the above issues are present: the Uniform
Relocation Assistance and Real Property Policies Act of 1970 (URA) and
Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
Each of these acts places different obligations on the City.
The URA governs the processes and procedures which the City and the
Finance Department must follow to minimize the burden placed on low- and
moderate -income tenants, property owners, and business owners who must
move (either temporarily or permanently) as the result of a project funded in
whole or in part by the CDBG program. 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); and
City of Newport Beach
Page 23
Draft Citizen Participation Plan I April 2020
23-227
• Work on private property during the construction of a HUD -assisted
project even if the activity is temporary.
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 their personal property from real property permanently as a direct
result of one or more of the following activities:
• Acquisition of, 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; and
• 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.
Newport Beach 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:
• The person was evicted for serious or repeated violation 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;
• The person has no legal right to occupy the property under State or
local law;
City of Newport Beach
Page 24
Draft Citizen Participation Plan I April 2020
27
23-228
• The City determines that the person occupied the property to
obtain relocation assistance and the HUD Field Office concurs in
that determination;
• 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, Newport Beach 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;
• 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:
o Such repairs or acquisition will benefit the tenant;
o Bringing the unit up to a safe, decent, and sanitary condition
is not feasible;
o 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
o The project will not impose any unreasonable change in the
character or use of the property.
• The person is an owner -occupant of the property who moves
because of an arm's length acquisition;
• Newport Beach or its subgrantee notifies the person that they will
not displace him or her for the project; and
• The person retains the right of use and occupancy of the real
property for life following the acquisition.
Newport Beach 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.
S. Minimizing Displacement
Newport -Beach 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; and
City of Newport Beach
Page 25
Draft Citizen Participation Plan I April 2020
9:
23-229
• 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 seeks 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 Newport Beach deems beneficial but that may cause
displacement may be recommended and approved for funding only if
Newport Beach or its subgrantee demonstrates that such displacement is
necessary and vital to the project and that they take efforts 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.
7. Displacement Assistance
Consistent with the goals and objectives of the CDBG program, Newport
Beach 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 Newport Beach 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 Newport Beach's housing inspector;
• Newport Beach 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 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.
Newport Beach does not reimburse "rental expenses" for living with
a friend or family member;
City of Newport Beach
Page 26
Draft Citizen Participation Plan I April 2020
29
23-230
• Either Newport Beach will provide the owner -occupants and tenants
a direct payment for moving expenses (to and from temporary
housing) and storage costs, or Newport Beach will arrange moving
and storage of furniture with a moving company. If Newport Beach
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; and
• The City may pay the cost of relocation assistance from Federal
funds or funds available from other sources.
S. One -For -One Replacement Dwelling Units
Newport Beach will generally avoid awarding funds for activities resulting in
displacement. However, should Newport Beach fund an activity, specific
documentation is required to show the replacement of all occupied and
vacant dwelling units demolished or converted to another use. Newport
Beach will assure that relocation assistance is provided as described in 24
CFR 570.606(b)(2).
Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such
demolition or conversion, Newport Beach will make public and submit to the
HUD field office the following information in writing:
• A description of the proposed assisted activity;
• 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;
• A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the
demolition or conversion;
• The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling
units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as
replacement units;
• The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of
replacement dwelling units; or
• 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, Newport
Beach 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.

9. Decent, Safe and Sanitary Dwelling
The basic definition is found at 49 CFR 24.2(1). 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:
• Be structurally sound, weather tight, and in good repair;
• Contain a safe electrical wiring system adequate for lighting and
other devices;
• Contain a safe heating system capable of sustaining a healthful
temperature for the displaced person;
• 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;
• Contain unobstructed egress to safe, open space at ground level;
• 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 they select and the displaced
person determines that they have reasonable ingress, egress, and
the use of the dwelling; and
• Comply with lead-based paint requirements of 24 CFR Part 35.
N. Real Property Policies
The City and its CDBG subrecipients must follow specific guidelines regarding the
acquisition and use of real property funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds.
1. 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:
City of Newport Beach
Page 28
Draft Citizen Participation Plan I April 2020
31
23-232
• The use of such property qualifies as meeting a national objective and
is not a building for the general conduct of government;
• The requirements in the paragraph below are met;
• 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 Newport Beach 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;
• 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 Newport Beach CDBG program; and
• 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.
2. 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).
3. 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 to Newport Beach 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.
4. Eligible Activities
Newport Beach 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.
5. Environmental Review Process (24 CFR Part 58)
City of Newport Beach
Page 29
Draft Citizen Participation Plan I April 2020
M
23-233
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. Newport Beach 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.
