Introduction 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 I, 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. The 2024-2025 Action Plan is the last year of five annual plans implementing the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals for the investment of annual allocations of CDBG funds from HUD. The Action Plan identifies available resources, annual goals, projects, and activities for the period beginning July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created the CDBG Program with three primary objectives against which HUD evaluates the Consolidated Plan and the City's performance under the Plan. Those primary objectives are decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate -income persons. The CDBG regulations require that each activity meet one of the following national objectives: • Benefit low- and moderate -income persons; Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency (usually the result of a natural disaster). For the 2024-2025 program year, the City is anticipating receiving approximately $399,099 in CDBG funds from HUD. In addition, the City will be using program income of $305,774. Therefore, the total amount of CDBG funds available for PY 2024-25 is $704,873, as shown in the table below. In the event that the actual amount of CDBG funding received from HUD is higher or lower than anticipated, the City will adjust the funding amounts for each activity proportionally and in compliance with regulatory requirements for funding allocations to certain types of CDBG activities.

Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan 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 201 1-2015 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year 2 1 P a g e 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 • 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 3 1 P a g e Consistent with HUD's national goals for the CDBG program to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate -income residents, the priority needs listed above will be addressed over the next five years through the implementation of CDBG funded activities aligned with the following six measurable Strategic Plan goals: Sort Start End Geographic Goal Outcome • Goal Name Category ..

Evaluation of past performance The City is currently implementing the activities included in the 2023-2024 Action Plan. As of this writing, all activities are underway. The investment of HUD resources during the 2023-2024 program year was a catalyst for positive change in the community. Together with other federal, state and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City and its partners to accomplish the following goals: 1) Provide fair housing services to residents. 2) Provide homeless prevention and assistance services to residents. 3) Provide public services such as home delivered meals to senior residents and addressing elder abuse and neglect for senior residents. 4) Provide special needs services such as for community domestic violence for residents and substance abuse and recovery services for residents. 5) Provide for Section 108 Debt Service and Public Facilities improvements. 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 Continuum of Care (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 representativesof 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. 2024-2025 Action Plan In the development of the Action Plan, the City solicited applications from eligible subrecipients including non-profit organizations and public agencies for fair housing services and a variety of public service 61 Page activities. The draft Action Plan was available for public review and comment from March 23, 2024, to April 23, 2024. A public hearing to receive comments on the draft 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan was held before the Newport Beach City Council on April 23, 2024. 5. Summary of public comments The City received insert public comment during the Public Hearing meeting held on April 23, 2024. 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them All comments and views received by the City in the development and approval of Action Plan were accepted and taken into consideration. 7. Summary The 2024-2025 Action Plan addresses five of the six Strategic Plan Goals from the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan by allocating approximately $399,099 from PY 2024-25, and $305,774 in program income. Therefore, the total amount of CDBG funds available for PY 2024-25 is $704,873 to projects and activities to be implemented from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. 7 1 P a g e The Process 1.

Introduction HUD requires that each jurisdiction encourage its citizens to participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan and subsequent Action Plan. To ensure the opportunity is provided, the City of Newport Beach maintains a Citizen Participation Plan. The Citizen Participation Plan set forth policies and procedures for citizen interaction in planning, implementation, and assessment of the City's Consolidated Plan/Action Plan. The objectives of the Citizen Participation Plan are: • To encourage citizens, particularly residents of low- and moderate -income living in areas eligible for the use of program funds, including minorities, non-English speaking persons, and persons with mobility, visual, or hearing impairments, to participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan/Action Plan. • To assure that citizens are furnished with appropriate information about the Consolidated Plan and its various component programs. On January 13, 2024, the City published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) in the Daily Pilot newspaper, City website, and emailed nonprofits, to announce the availability of CDBG funds and solicit proposals from tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations that provide eligible CDBG services or projects that benefit Newport Beach residents. On March 23, 2024, staff published a notice in the Daily Pilot and City website informing the public that the City of Newport Beach had prepared the Draft 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan. The notice also indicated the plan would be available for review and comment from March 23, 2024, to April 23, 2024. The public has been provided an opportunity to provide oral and/or written comments on the proposed activities included in the Draft 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan. Additionally, the current Citizen Participation Plan requires that a public hearing be held to receive testimony from interested residents or parties regarding the Action Plan. The public hearing was held by the City Council on April 23, 2024, which fulfills this requirement. 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)) Through the CDBG program, Newport Beach works closely with a range of housing, social service, health and other providers operating in Newport Beach and within the region. Throughout the Consolidated Plan cycle and during the development of each Action Plan, the City creates multiple forums for consultation and input from various stakeholders and partners operating in the City. During the delivery of services, the City works as a conduit to align efforts among agencies and partners and ensure coordination in the delivery of services, especially for those programs that are provided regionally within Orange County. 9 1 P a g e 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 regions 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. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City does not receive ESG funding. However, the City works closely with the CoC homeless system to create funding policies and procedures. The City supports the network of homeless service providers existing in and outside of Newport Beach and works to align the City's approach to addressing homelessness with that of the CoC. 2.

Table 3 — Citizen Participation Outreach 311Page AP-15 Expected Resources - 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction For program year 2024-2025, the City anticipates receiving approximately $399,099 in CDBG funds from HUD. In addition, the City will be using $305,774 from program income. Therefore, the total amount of CDBG funds available for PY 2024-25 is $704,873.

Public Services 321 Page 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 CDBGfunds to leverage appropriate state, local, and private resources, including but not limited to those listed below. State Resources • State Low -Income Housing Tax Credit Program • Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN) • CalHome Program • Multifamily Housing Program (MHP) • Housing Related Parks Grant • CaIHFA Single and Multi -Family Program • Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding Local Resources • Orange County Housing & Finance Agency (OCHFA) Funding • Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA) Funding • Orange County Continuum of Care Program • Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) Programs Private Resources • Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP) • Community Reinvestment Act Programs • United Way Funding • Private Contributions • Public -Private Partnerships If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used toaddress the needs identified in the plan Newport Beach will comply with new State requirements under AB 1486 and AB 1255 to inventory and support developers to access and utilize surplus municipal and state land for the construction of affordablehousing. 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 Action Plan, the City does not have anypublicly 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 Investment Partnerships funds as part of its entitlement allocation. The amountof matching is therefore not applicable for the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan. 33 1 Page Discussion Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG programs, the City expects to utilize approximately $2.07million of CDBG funds during the five-year period beginning July I, 2020 and ending June 30, 2025 to achieve the goals of the Strategic Plan. 341Page AP-20 Annual Goals and Objectives Goals Summary Information Table 2 - Goals Summary ..

Table 3 - Proiect Information Project Name Program Administration 2 Fair Housing Services 3 Public Services 4 Homeless Services 5 Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements 6 Emergency Response Funding 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 programyears 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 2024-2025 Action Plan in projects that provide public services to low- and moderate -income people and projects that prevent homelessness for the low- and moderate -income residents of Newport Beach. 381 Page AP-38 Project Summary Project Summary Information I Project Name Program Administration Target Area Citywide Goals Supported All Needs Addressed All Funding CDBG: $128,973 Description Effective and cost-efficient implementation of the CDBG program.

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. Geographic Area Table 4 - Geographic Distribution Citywide Newport Beach will allocate resources across the City based on need and eligibility 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. Discussion Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non -administrative CDBG funds for program year 2024-2025 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate -income people. 431 Page 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 can live in decent housing that meets local standards. Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing Based on evaluation of 201 1-2015 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. The City's updated its General Plan Housing Element to 4,845 new housing units. Of that number, 70 percent are required to be affordable to very -low, low - and moderate -income households. In order to accommodate that requirement, the City is exploring new policies to encourage production of affordable housing in the 2021-2029 planning period. 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). 441 Page • 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). • 4,745 or 28 percent of the 17,160 renter -occupied housing units in Newport Beach were builtbetween 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 34or 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.

As mentioned previously, the City is also exploring new affordable housing policies as part of its Housing Element update that would encourage the production of new affordable units. 451 Page y Y 91.220ijr Introduction The City of Newport Beach 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 purposesof 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 servespecial 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 ChoiceVoucher participants in partnership with local programs and related service providers. • Expand assisted housing choices by conducting outreach efforts to increase the number of propertyowners and their participation in housing assistance programs. • Identify and utilize technology to enhance operational effectiveness and efficiency in delivery ofhousing assistance services. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate inhomeownership. 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. 461 Page If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or otherassistance Not applicable. OCHA is designated as a High Performing PHA. Discussion Newport Beach continues to support OCHA in effective administration of its limited affordable housing resources. The City also continues to work with OCHA to include the residents with Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in the federally funded programs administered by the City, including any homeownership programs. 471 Page AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.220(i) Introduction The City will invest CDBG funds during the 2024-2025 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 The Point In Time is a biennial count of people experiencing homelessness on a given night that takes place during the last ten days in January. The count provides vital information that helps the County better understand homelessness in the community and guides the way the County and its partners respond to homelessness in Orange County. There was not a Point In Time Count conducted in 2023. The County of Orange and Orange County CoC conducted the sheltered count the night of Monday, February 21, 2022. Emergency Shelters and Transitional Housing Programs collected participant -level demographic information from individuals and families staying the night in each program. The 2022 Unsheltered Count process took place over three days - Tuesday, February 22 through Thursday, February 24 - to ensure the 800 square mile Orange County jurisdiction was canvassed effectively. This methodology allowed the count teams to collect unique ID data points that were used to deduplicate records for the three-day street count process. The survey data was collected with ArcGIS Survey 123, a phone application that captures GIS locations and provides vital information that guides the way the County responds to homelessness in Orange County. The methodology for the 2022 Everyone Counts process provides the most accurate data on the scope of homelessness in Orange County, ensuring that Everyone Counts. According to the results of the most recent data available from the bi-annual Point -In -Time Homeless Count (PIT Count) held on February 21, 2022, on any given night in Newport Beach, approximately 96 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 48 1 Page 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 reachingout 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, throughits 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 (25 people) • Newport Beach Motel Voucher Program (30 people) Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City has taken several steps to address this very complex issue. City staff and City Net, a contractor that assists with community outreach and case management services, work in collaboration to engage these individuals and connect them with services such as emergency housing, mental and health care, benefits counseling and a variety of other community -based programs and services. It is not uncommon for individuals to be resistant to engagement at first. The more successful interventions are built upon a pattern of consistent engagement and building trust so that the individual will be able to accept the assistance that will lead to a lasting solution to their homelessness. The City has a dedicated, full-time police officer and a homeless coordinator who focus on the issue of homelessness. The Homeless Liaison Officer works closely with the County of Orange Health Care Agency's case management staff and City Net to provide homeless outreach services. The uniqueness of each homeless individual's situation requires an individual approach. Since everyone's needs are different, City staff works with homeless individuals on a case -by -case basis. It is important to understand that individuals are often resistant to seeing case workers or police officers assigned to work with those experiencing homelessness. Multiple visits may be required before gaining a person's trust in a way that opens a conversation about solutions. That is why, in addition to the full-time officer, the City has contracted with City Net to provide homeless outreach services. Street outreach services seeks to connect unsheltered homeless individuals with emergency shelter, housing, critical services, healthcare, or urgent, non - facility -based care. Newport Beach has entered a partnership with the City of Costa Mesa for shelter beds at the Costa Mesa Bridge Shelter, which opened in Spring 2021. In addition to temporary housing, the Bridge Shelter provides case workers who assist homeless individuals with addiction and mental health counseling, job searches, and accessing permanent housing. 49 1 Page Cities and counties are obligated to follow state laws, federal laws and court rulings that define the parameters of what can and cannot be done when addressing the impacts of homelessness. Newport Beach, along with the rest of the cities in Orange County, must follow and comply with those laws and court rulings. In September 2018, the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that if there is no option for sleeping indoors, the government cannot criminalize individuals experiencing homelessness from sleeping outdoors on public property. As a result, the federal judge overseeing Orange County's homeless issues was asked to block cities from enforcing anti -camping laws if the city does not have an adequate, alternative sleeping location for individuals experiencing homelessness, such as a shelter bed or other housing. To address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless people, the City supports the Families Forward Housing Program that provides transitional housing, counseling, and case management tofamilies at risk of homelessness. Each year, Families Forward serves approximately 25 additional unduplicated people because of CDBG funding. In addition, the City will support a City -run motel voucher program to assist 30 homeless individuals. Other organizations in the Continuum of Care (CoC) addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housingneeds 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 supportsthe Families Forward Housing Program, which provides transitional housing, counseling, and case management to families at risk of homelessness. Each year, Families Forward serves approximately 25 unduplicated Newport Beach residents 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. In addition, Trellis International is a local non-profit organization which provides volunteer opportunities for individuals experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity to learn and/or rebuild job skills and a path toward stable employment and housing. Through volunteer projects managed by Trellis' Community Impact Team (CIT), participants develop and refine job skills needed to reenter the job market and remain employed. The projects in Newport Beach may include cleanup of beaches, hiking trails, parking lots, piers and other public areas, graffiti removal, vegetation trimming and removal, and more. 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 501 Page 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 careinto 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 serviceagencies 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 meetings on how to improve public services that enables organizations in Newport Beach to better coordinatetheir 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 andfaith-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 providerswith programs to prevent homelessness and to expand the supply of affordable housing in Newport Beachfor low- and moderate -income residents. Discussion The City of Newport Beach considers ending and preventing homelessness a high priority and will supportCDBG public service activities that help prevent homelessness and that provide a structured path to stablehousing for individuals and families who become homeless. A mobile crisis intervention program to address mental health issues in the community is up and running in Newport Beach. The Be Well OC Mobile Crisis Response Team is working closely with City's public safety departments to address mental health challenges among the City's homeless population, as well as residents and visitors who may be experiencing a mental health crisis. Under the Be Well OC program, Newport Beach now has a dedicated two -person team of experienced crisis counselors working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. The team responds to mental health calls for service to the Police Department's non -emergency or 911 call lines. Individuals may be transported to Be Well OC's local crisis center, or a detox facility or shelter, as needed. The service provides direct mental health intervention and will reduce the need for police and emergency medical services in these cases. The Be Well OC program supplements and augments the City's current efforts to address homelessness, which include a shelter partnership with the City of Costa Mesa, and the pilot program with Trellis International providing volunteer opportunities for individuals experiencing homelessness to learn and/or rebuild job skills and a path toward stable employment and housing. 511 Page AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing - 91.220(j) Introduction: A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the developmentor 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 arelawful 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 affordablehousing. 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 dueto the high cost of housing in Newport Beach and throughout the region in general. Over 20 percent of theCity'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 the2020-2024 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 2021-2029 Housing Element, the City evaluated significant public policies affecting affordable housing. The Housing Element identifies and analyzes the Citys existing and projected housing needs. The Housing Element contains a detailed outline and work program of the City's goals, policies, and quantified objectives for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing for a sustainable future. This includes timelines for the City to accomplish each identified action within the Housing Plan. As is common in many communities, a variety of constraints affect the provisions and opportunities for adequate housing in the City of Newport Beach. Housing constraints consist of both governmental constraints, including but not limited to land use controls, development fees and permitting fees, development standards, building codes and permitting processes; as well as, nongovernmental or market constraints, including but not limited to land costs, construction costs, and availability of finances. Combined, these factors create barriers to availability and affordability of new housing, especially for lower and moderate -income households. On September 13, 2022, the Newport Beath City Council adopted an update to its Housing Element for the 2021-2029 planning cycle in response to the 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation of 4,845 new housing units for Newport Beach. On October 5, 2022, the City received a letter from HCD certifying the City's Housing Element as being in full compliance with State Housing Element Law. 52 1 Page Discussion: To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the City's goals, policies, and programs will be aimed at providing additional housing opportunities, removing governmental constraints to affordable housing, improving the condition of existing housing, and providing equal housing opportunities for all residents. These goals, policies, and programs further the City's overall housing policy goal to encourage a more diverse, sustainable, and balanced community through implementation of strategies and programs that will result in economically and socially diversified housing choices that preserve and enhance the special character of Newport Beach. The City of Newport Beach has identified the following housing goals as part of the 2021-2029 General Plan Housing Element: • Quality residential development and preservation, conservation, and appropriate redevelopment of housing stock. • A balanced residential community, comprised of a variety of housing types, designs, and opportunities for all social and economic segments. • Housing opportunities for as many renter- and owner -occupied households as possible in response to the demand for housing in the City. • Preservation and increased affordability of the City's housing stock for extremely low-, very low—, low-, and moderate -income households. • Housing opportunities for special needs populations. • Equal housing opportunities for all residents. • Effective and responsive housing programs and policies. The goals listed above are described in further detail in the Housing Plan. As directed by the recently adopted 2021-2029 General Plan Housing Element, the City is developing an inclusionary housing program that would require developers to provide a minimum percentage of lower -and moderate -income dwelling units within new residential developments. The City is considering several policies, regulations, and incentives to help achieve the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation of 4,845 new housing units that the City must plan for over the next 8 years. Of the total RHNA, about 71 % must be planned to accommodate moderate- and lower -income households. 531 Page Introduction: In the implementation of the 2024-2025 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 offunding 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 2024-2025 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 2024-2025 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 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan, the City will continue to look at alternate fundingsources 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 will administer a Residential Rehabilitation Program. 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. Anyunit receiving assistance through the program that was built prior to January I, 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 theState Density Bonus law to incentivize the development of additional affordable housing units; • Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminatehomelessness; • Supporting housing preservation programs that ensure low-income households have a safe, decentand appropriate place to live; and • Supporting public services through various nonprofits funded by CDBG that serve the community's 54 1 Page youth, seniors, families and those with special needs. In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the numberof 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 withemployment 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 substanceabuse, domestic violence, and mental illness. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The institutional delivery system in Newport Beach is high -functioning and collaborative — particularly therelationship 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 thePlanning Division of the Community Development Department in partnership with other agencies. Publicservice activities will be carried out by nonprofit organizations to achieve the Strategic Plan goals. The PlanningDivision and the Engineering Department will work together with contractors to implement public facilityimprovement projects. One of the keyways the City is developing and expanding institutional structure to meet underserved needs isby 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 continueconsulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in thedelivery of housing and supportive services to low- and moderate -income residents in Newport Beach. Discussion In the implementation of the 2020-2024 Consolidated 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. 551Page Introduction: In the implementation of programs and activities under the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan, the City of Newport Beach will follow all HUD regulations concerning the use of program income, forms of investment, overall low -and moderate -income benefit for the CDBG program.
