IV. ACTION ITEMS:

A. Albert Ramirez requested that the Housing and Community Development Commission,

by Motion, recommend the approval of the First Amendment to Community

Development Block Grant Subrecipient Agreement (First Amendment), to the Governing

Body of the Anaheim Housing Authority substantially in the form attached, to extend the

term of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Subrecipient Agreement between

the City of Anaheim and Habitat for Humanity of Orange County (Habitat) to June 30,

2019, providing Habitat up to $500,000 as the Program Administrator for the City’s

Residential Rehabilitation Program, and authorize the Community and Economic

Director, to execute and administer the Amendment on behalf of the City.

Mr. Ramirez explained that in 2016, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban

Development (HUD) provided guidance to the City regarding the continued use of CDBG

funding for Code Enforcement activities stating that cities who use CDBG funds for code

enforcement activities should also provide incentive programs that assist eligible

households to prevent or correct such issues. He also informed staff that following a

review of the HUD guidance and related program regulations, staff researched potential

program models and recommended contracting with Habitat for Humanity of Orange

County for the administration of a Residential Rehabilitation Program. The decision to

recommend Habitat for this purpose was based on evidence that they have successfully

administrated rehabilitation programs for several years and that they possess the staffing

and expertise required to fulfill the goals of the Anaheim program. Mr. Ramirez further

noted that at the April 26, 2016 City Council meeting, Council approved Habitat for

Humanity of Orange County as the program administrator and committed $500,000 of

CDBG funds to the program, but implementation was delayed because programmatic

policies & procedures and eligibility documents needed to be further refined. He further

noted that since then Staff has worked closely with Habitat and has finalized all program

documents and that the program is currently operating, but has an ending term of June

30, 2017. Mr. Ramirez informed the Commission that the proposed First Amendment


would only extend the contract term to June 30, 2019 and ensure uninterrupted

implementation of the program.

Commissioner Kurtz motioned to approve the recommendation of the First Amendment

Community Development Block Grant Subrecipient Agreement to the City Council to

extend the term of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Subrecipient

Agreement between the City of Anaheim and Habitat for Humanity for Orange County.

After a brief discussion period Commissioner Adair seconded the motion. (Motion carried

9-0)

B. Andy Nogal requested that the HCDC recommend the approval of the Cooperation

Agreement by and between the City and the Anaheim Housing Authority (AHA) for

funding to acquire a property at 605 E. Avon Place located in the Avon Dakota

Neighborhood. Mr. Nogal explained that the 11.2 acres that make up the Avon/Dakota

Neighborhood that consists of 41 multi-family residential properties with approximately

200 units, has been identified as one of the City’s 12 challenged neighborhoods. He

informed the Commission that since 2010, the AHA staff has been working with The

Related Companies of California to improve the overall conditions of this neighborhood

and provide long-term affordable housing, and has acquired and rehabilitated multiple

properties and continues to seek acquisitions to implement the Avon Dakota

Neighborhood Revitalization Plan. In order to acquire the property at 605 E. Avon Place,

Staff is requesting approval of the Cooperation Agreement to provide funding for the

purchase through a combination of HOME and Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset

Funds in the amount not to exceed $750,000.

Commissioner Kurtz motioned to approve the recommendation of the Cooperation

Agreement by and between the City and the AHA to the Governing Body of the Anaheim

Housing Authority. After a brief discussion period, Commissioner Adair seconded the

motion. (Motion carried 9-0)

C. Andy Nogal requested that the HCDC approve the recommendation of the Affordable

Housing Agreement by and between the Anaheim Housing Authority (AHA) and the Avon

Dakota Housing Partners II, L.P. for the Phase II Neighborhood Revitalization Project in

the Avon/Dakota Neighborhood to the Governing body of the Anaheim Housing

Authority.

Mr. Nogal explained On June 22, 2010, the AHA entered into a Neighborhood

Revitalization Agreement for the Avon/Dakota Neighborhood with The Related

Companies of California to implement a phased neighborhood improvement project. He

further explained that in accordance with the Neighborhood Revitalization Plan, Staff has

been working with Avon Dakota Housing partner L.P. to improve the overall conditions of


the neighborhood and provide long-term affordable housing. It was noted that in 2012

the developer completed a 92-unit 100% affordable rental family project with the

neighborhood, and in 2013 the AHA and Developer completed the initial phase of the

Revitalization Plan. Mr. Nogal presented staff’s proposal to acquire a property located at

862 S. Dakota Street and ground lease property to the developer with other properties

currently owned by the AHA, to form Phase II of the project. He stated that the Authority

will acquire the property at 862 South Dakota at a cost of $950,000 using Low and

Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds and that if the developer is able to obtain the

necessary permissions and tax credits, construction would commence in February of

2018.

After a brief question answer session, Commissioner Kurtz motioned to approve the

recommendation of the Affordable Housing Agreement by and between the Anaheim

Housing Authority (AHA) and the Avon Dakota Housing Partners II, L.P. for the Phase II

Neighborhood Revitalization Project in the Avon/Dakota Neighborhood to the Governing

body of the Anaheim Housing Authority. Commissioner Emami seconded the motion.

(Motion carried 9-0).

D. Andy Nogal requested that the HCDC approve the recommendation of the Amended and Restated Preliminary Funding Award Letter for the Sandman Hotel to the Governing body of the Anaheim Housing Authority. Mr. Nogal explained that on May 2, 2016, the Community & Economic Development Department issued a Request for Proposals in order to utilize HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds for the development of an affordable housing project and that Innovative Housing Opportunities (IHO) was the only respondent. He also explained that as part of the RFP, the Developer identified an opportunity site known as the Sandman Motel, located at 1248 East Lincoln Avenue, for the construction of a senior housing project. He also explained that the 1.01-acre motel site is proposed to be demolished to make way for the development of an affordable senior rental housing project consisting of 54 units, including 1 manager unit. He noted the project will be 100% affordable to extremely-low, very-low and low- income seniors and that the development of 54 units is contingent upon the acquisition of an adjacent .09-acre remnant parcel located immediately to the south and combined with the 1.01-acre motel site. He added that if all permissions and tax credits are received as anticipated, construction would commence February of 2018. After a brief question answer period, Commissioner Houchen motioned to approve the recommendation of the Amended and Restated Preliminary Funding Award Letter for the Sandman Hotel to the Governing body of the Anaheim Housing Authority. Commissioner Kurtz seconded the motion. (Motion carried 9-0)

HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REPORT

City of Anaheim

COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

DEPARTMENT

DATE: JULY 19, 2017

FROM: COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT

SUBJECT: FY 2017-2018 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN; CITIZEN

PARTICIPATION PLAN

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Housing & Community Development Commission, by Motion, recommend

approval of the FY 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development

Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Solutions

Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) programs

outlining expenditures totaling $15,710,270; and the amended Citizen Participation Plan

to City Council.

DISCUSSION:

FY 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan

The City of Anaheim prepares a Consolidated Plan every 5 years, which identifies

housing & community development needs and outlines strategies to address the

identified needs. Thereafter, staff prepares an Annual Action Plan (AAP) that identifies

proposed activities for the upcoming year and serves as the City’s application to obtain

CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA Program funds from the U.S. Department of

Housing and Urban Development. The current Annual Action Plan is for FY 2017-2018.

All activities in the Annual plan are consistent with the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan

approved by the City Council in April 2015.

The programs covered under the Consolidated and Annual Action Plans are intended to

serve low-income residents in the City. These programs allow for activities such as the

development of affordable housing, provision of tenant-based rental subsidies for

persons experiencing homelessness, delivery of community- based social services and

can be utilized as match funds with other infrastructure investments. Attachment 1

provides the details, by program, on the proposed activities for this upcoming year.

Attachment 2 provides additional details on specific set-aside requirements for each

program.

FY 2017-2018 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN; CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN July 19, 2017

PAGE 2 OF 2

Citizen Participation Plan (CPP)

As a condition of funding, HUD requires all entitlement jurisdictions to have a CPP that

outlines how resident input regarding community needs and funding priorities will be

obtained.

The CPP outlines the steps the City will take to encourage and ensure the participation of

all citizens in the development of the Consolidated Plan Document, the Annual Action

Plan, and the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report documents. Due to

recent changes in the governance structure for the City, the CPP previously adopted

needed significant revision. For example, the previous CPP was based on four planning

areas in the City: West, East, Central and South. Because of District elections in

December 2016, planning areas are now defined differently by the City and the

corresponding community engagement process handled by the City’s Community

Services Department has also been revamped. The revised Citizen Participation Plan

(attached) outlines the changes in how citizen input will be obtained for the federal

entitlement program going forward. The changes proposed in the CPP reflects the

revised governance structure as well as changes to Boards and Commissions approved

by the Anaheim City Council on March 7, 2017.

It is noted that for FY 2017-18, it has been necessary to use a modified version of the

CPP to obtain citizen input based on activities at the federal level. In order to obtain

meaningful resident input on budget priorities for these programs, ideally, the annual

grant allocation should be released. However, the grant allocation for FY 2017-2018

were not released until late June 2017, thereby significantly reducing the amount of time

needed by staff to develop spending recommendations and release such documents to the

public. In recognition of the late release of necessary information, HUD has reduced the

public comment period to 2 weeks for FY 2017-2018. In previous years, staff has

attempted to obtain public comments for a much longer period; upwards for at least 90

days, and made public presentations on proposed projects at community meetings.

However, given the circumstances surrounding the federal budgeting process this year

that has not been possible. Staff has still attempted to collect public input by sending

email notification to persons attending community meetings and publishing the

availability of the Action Plan in the local newspaper. Additionally, your body, HCDC

and the Anaheim City Council will hear this item and provide the opportunity to public

comment at both meetings.

Executive Summary

AP‐05 Executive Summary ‐ 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction

This third‐year Annual Action Plan for the City of Anaheim, California has been prepared in

response to a consolidated process developed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban

Development (HUD) for the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), Emergency

Solutions Grant (ESG), Home Investment Partnership (HOME) and Housing Opportunities for

Persons with Aids (HOPWA) programs.

This 2017 Annual Action Plan is part of the City's five‐year, 2015‐2019, Consolidated Plan which

outlines housing, community and economic development needs, priorities, strategies, and

projects that will be undertaken by the City with the funds that the City receives from the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As an entitlement jurisdiction, the City

receives an annual share of federal CDBG, ESG, HOME, and HOPWA funds. In order to receive

its entitlements, the City must submit a five year Consolidated Plan and subsequent Annual

Action Plans to HUD. The funds are intended to provide extremely low‐ to moderate‐income

households with viable communities, including decent housing, a suitable living environment,

and expanded economic opportunities. Eligible activities include community facilities and

improvements, housing development, housing rehabilitation and preservation, development

activities, public services, economic development, planning, and program administration.

The Consolidated Plan serves the following functions: 1) A planning document for the City,

which builds upon a citizen participation process; 2) An application for federal funds under

HUD’s formula grant programs; 3) A strategy to be followed in carrying out HUD programs; and,

4) An action plan that provides a basis for assessing performance.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan

This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to

another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs

assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The primary objective of the City’s CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA activities is the provision of

decent, safe and sanitary, affordable housing, the provision of a suitable living environment and

the expansion of economic opportunity for extremely low‐ and moderate‐income persons. This

definition includes a wide range of programs and activities as described in the following

City of Anaheim DRAFT FY 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan

Attachment 3

sections of the third‐year Annual Action Plan. The City has established the objectives identified

in Table 8 to address the community needs identified in the Consolidated Plan; each objective

has a specific course of action and projected outcomes that are further discussed throughout

this Annual Action Plan.

3. Evaluation of past performance

This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or

projects.

The City has accomplished many of the objectives identified in the previous Consolidated Plan

and Action Plans. The City has undertaken various activities intended to increase affordable

rental and homeownership opportunities, and the City has worked to increase the supply of

quality housing to meet the community’s needs. Further, the City has undertaken various

activities intended to preserve the existing housing stock and implemented the Residential

Rehabilitation Program (RRP) to provide financial incentives for the rehabilitation of eligible

owner‐occupied single‐family homes. The purpose of the RRP is to preserve the existing

housing stock and eliminate building code violations.

The City has undertaken various activities intended to prevent individuals and families from

becoming homeless, and through the ESG program the City has provided funds to nonprofit

organizations that provide homeless prevention, rapid rehousing, emergency or transitional

shelter and other supportive services to homeless families and individuals.

The City offers various activities that enable the special needs population to live independently.

In addition, the City continues to provide affordable housing opportunities to low and

moderate income people, which includes the special needs population. The various community

development activities that have been undertaken meet the intent and objectives of the CDBG,

HOME, ESG, and HOPWA Programs; improving the quality and livability of its neighborhoods;

providing improved public and non‐profit facilities; revitalizing neighborhoods; and expanding

and improving the delivery of public services for senior citizens, children, youth, handicapped

persons and low and moderate income persons.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process

Summary from citizen participation section of plan.

This third‐year Annual Action Plan results from a process of consultation and citizen

participation, building upon existing participation mechanisms and venues. Citizens, not‐for‐


3


profit organizations, Cities, the County of Orange, and interested parties were afforded a

variety of opportunities to participate in public hearings, comment upon the plan and its

amendments, and register complaints, comments, and recommendations about the plan and its

amendments.

On May 17, 2017 HUD issued revised procedures for the submission and review of action plans

for FY 2017 funding for CPD grantees. The timing of the enactment for the FY 2017

appropriations act left insufficient time for grantees to complete their pre‐submission or pre‐

amendment citizen participation process before the statutory August 16, 2017 submission

deadline. To address this issue, HUD issued a waiver of the regulatory 30‐day citizen

participation public comment period in favor of a 14‐day comment period. Due to the timing of

the enactment of the FY 2017 appropriations act and the publication of the City’s Entitlement

amount, the City must utilize the waiver to meet the statutory submittal deadline of August 16,

2017.

The draft 2017 Annual Action Plan was published for public comment for a 14‐day period

running from July 6, 2017 through July 20, 2017. The Housing and Community Development

Commission (HCDC) held a Public Hearing to obtain comments on the proposed 2017 Annual

Action Plan on Wednesday July 19 at 5:00 p.m. in the Anaheim West Tower, Gordon Hoyt

Conference Center located at 201 S. Anaheim Blvd., Second Floor.

The document was made available to the public for public review on line at

www.anaheim.net/841/Plans‐Reports and hard copies were available at the Anaheim Central

Library and at the City Hall’s Anaheim West Tower. Hard copies were also made available to all

who asked.

The Annual Action Plan will be placed o the July 25, 2107, City Council meeting agenda, and the

document will be considered for approved, execution and submission to HUD.

The City of Anaheim 2017 Annual Action Plan will be submitted to the Los Angeles Area office of

the Department of Housing and Urban Development on prior to the statutory deadline of

August 16, 2017.

7. Summary

The primary objective of the City’s CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA activities is the provision of

decent, safe and sanitary, affordable housing, the provision of a suitable living environment and

the expansion of economic opportunity for low and moderate‐income persons. This definition

includes a wide range of programs and activities as described in the following sections of the

third‐year Annual Action Plan.

AP‐10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction

The City conducted significant consultation with citizens, municipal officials, non‐profit

agencies, public housing agencies, private developers, economic development officials,

governmental agencies and the Continuum of Care in preparing this Annual Action Plan.

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(l))

The City recognizes that the preparation of the Annual Action Plan requires discussion and

consultation with many diverse groups, organizations, and agencies. The City held twelve

District Neighborhood Meetings and three Public Hearings prior to the preparation of this

Annual Action Plan. The AAP was reviewed at a Public Hearing of the Housing and Community

Development Commission prior to its submittal to City Council for approval. These meetings

are summarized in the Citizen Participation Section.

The City also reviewed community and regional plans, held discussions with the other

participating jurisdictions in the County, and reviewed the Housing Authority Plans to

determine needs and priorities.

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 City participates in a number of implementation groups facilitated by the Continuum of

Care (CoC). These working groups review and recommend improvement and/or changes to the

current system of delivery. Examples of issues covered by the implementation groups include

the coordinated entry systems and development of permanent supportive housing solutions.

In addition to the participation of City staff, many of the agencies receiving ESG, HOME, CDBG &

HOPWA participate in the CoC to ensure that programs funded by the City are consistent and

coordinated with the efforts of the CoC. These agencies also provide input at public meetings

and assist the City in the development of services provided locally.

The City will continue to participate in the CoC implementation groups as well as meet with

assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health, and service


8


agencies to address the needs of low and moderate income Anaheim residents, homeless

individuals and families, households “at‐risk” of homelessness, and non‐homeless households

with special needs.

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

Since 1998, the County of Orange has managed a comprehensive, coordinated, and regional

Continuum of Care (CoC) strategy that includes participation of all 34 cities in Orange County,

County Agencies, the County’s homeless housing and service providers, and other community

groups, including nonprofit organizations, local governmental agencies, faith‐based

organizations, the homeless and formerly homeless, interested business leaders, schools and

other stakeholders to identify the gaps and unmet needs of the County’s homeless. Homeless

needs and priorities continue to be identified through the County’s CoC system. In February

2012, the City began consulting with the CoC Coordinator and local ESG grantees specifically in

regard to the potential uses of new ESG funds. Monthly consultation meetings are held to

coordinate the development of eligibility criteria, performance standards and outcome

measurements, as well as to establish funding, policies, and procedures for the operation and

administration of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

The County of Orange has developed a comprehensive Ten‐Year Plan to End Homelessness,

which outlines the key goals and strategies necessary to eliminate homelessness in Orange

County. The Plan includes strategies to increase and improve the efficacy of the shelter and

housing systems for homeless families and the development of a rapid re‐housing program for

emergency shelter residents. The City reviews the Ten‐Year Plan to identify how its ESG funds

could be used to assist in achieving identified goals.

Additionally, the Orange County ESG grantees (County of Orange, City of Anaheim, City of

Garden Grove, and the City of Santa Ana) have developed the Orange County ESG Collaborative

as a unified approach to requesting, reviewing and funding ESG subrecipients. This collaborative

approach has streamlined the application and review process and allowed the grantees to

better understand the impacts of funding decisions. Future Collaborative efforts will include

unified invoice and monitoring forms and other actions to better serve our homeless and at‐risk

of homeless families.

As part of the 2014‐2021 Housing Element, the City formed a 10 member Housing Element Ad Hoc Committee. Each City Council

member appointed one Anaheim resident and one stakeholder. The Committee provided representative assistance in the review

and preparation of the Housing Element update to help ensure the document is an accurate reflection of the City’s collective vision

for the future of housing development within Anaheim.

AP‐12 Participation – 91.105, 91.200(c)

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal‐setting

The City considers the involvement of its low‐ and moderate‐income residents to be essential to the development and

implementation of its Five‐Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans.

The City of Anaheim has an approved Citizen Participation Plan, as required by HUD. The City has abided by its Citizen Participation

Plan in the preparation and development of the FY 2015‐2019 Consolidated Plan and the FY 2017‐2018 Annual Action Plan.

On May 17, 2017 HUD issued revised procedures for the submission and review of action plans for FY 2017 funding for CPD grantees.

The timing of the enactment for the FY 2017 appropriations act may leave insufficient time for grantees to complete their pre‐

submission or pre‐amendment citizen participation process before the statutory August 16, 2017 submission deadline. To address

this potential issue, HUD has issued a waiver of the regulatory 30‐day citizen participation public comment period in favor of a 14‐

day comment period. Due to the timing of the enactment of the FY 2017 appropriations act and the publication of the City’s

Entitlement amount, the City must utilize the waiver to meet the statutory submittal deadline of August 16, 2017.

The 2017 Annual Action Plan was published for a fourteen‐day public comment period, per HUD's waiver, from July 6, 2017 through

July 21, 2017, during which residents could review and submit comments and recommendations on the draft Annual Action Plan.

The Housing and Community Development Commission held a Public Hearing on July 19, 2017 to receive comments on the draft

plan. On July 25, 2017, the Final third‐year Annual Action Plan was placed on the City Council meeting agenda, and the document

was approved for execution and submission to HUD. The public was permitted to comment at all of these open meetings.

The City ensures that all Public Hearings are held at times and locations convenient to potential and actual beneficiaries and with

accommodations for persons with disabilities. Upon request, in advance of the meeting, the City will attempt to make

accommodations for those individuals in need of special assistance. The City also provides technical assistance workshops for all

interested in the programs.

Expected Resources

AP‐15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c) (1, 2)

Introduction

Anaheim, like many jurisdictions, is faced with the challenging task of meeting increasing needs with fluctuating and/or decreasing

federal, state and local resources. If there are further funding cuts to CDBG, HOME, ESG or HOPWA over the coming years, the City

will adjust accordingly and craft Annual Action Plans reflective of funding realities.

This Plan anticipates a one time influx of Program Income form the NSP Program. On June 14, 2016 HUD issued the Notice of the

Neighborhood Stabilization Program: Changes to Closeout Requirements related to Program Income (Program Income Notice) (FR

5933‐N‐01). The Program Income Notice described changes to the closeout requirements applied to the Neighborhood Stabilization

Program who are also grantees under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and allows the transfer of program

income from NSP to the CDBG program. The City of Anaheim intends to transfer all NSP program income to the CDBG program

during this Annual Action Plan period.

The figures shown in the table below reflect HUD's current allocations. The figure for “Expected Amount Available Remainder of

ConPlan” anticipates level funding using the 2017 allocation amounts and projecting those amounts over the three remaining years

covered by the Consolidated Plan.

Table 5 ‐ Expected Resources – Priority Table

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how

matching requirements will be satisfied

The City recognizes that the City's annual entitlement and formula allocations are not sufficient to meet all of its needs, and that

leveraging resources is critical to achieving the City’s goals. The City continues to cultivate funding partners who can match the City's

investment of CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG funds. The need remains great, and additional funds are sought to ensure that more

affordable housing and important programs and activities are available for those in need. To that end the City seeks funds from the


20


State and grants from other entities, both public and private. Indeed, the City has been successful recently in leveraging funds from

Anaheim Public Utilities and the State of California Housing Funds such as State Multi‐family Housing Program (MHP) and State

Mental Health Services Act (MHSA).

Matching requirements have been satisfied with other eligible financial resources and/or in‐kind services, and the City will continue

to seek this type of matching as well as financial matches.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs

identified in the plan

The Housing Authority owns parcels of land throughout the City that will be made available to Affordable Housing Developers

through an RFP process for the development of affordable housing for low‐income households. The Housing Authority also owns

several apartment complexes in the Avon Dakota Neighborhood consisting of 27 units which will be rehabilitated and converted to

long term affordable housing for low‐income households.

AP‐35 Projects – 91.220(d)

Introduction

The development of the Annual Action Plan involved consultation with those agencies involved

in delivering housing and housing services within Anaheim, as noted in section PR‐10. In

addition there were meetings conducted with appropriate housing and social service agencies

regarding the housing needs of children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities and homeless

persons.

The FY 2017 Annual Action Plan sets forth a description of activities for the use of funds that

will become available during the coming Federal fiscal year, determines goals for individuals

and households to be served, and describes the implementation plan and geographic location

of the activities to be undertaken.

AP‐50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low‐income and

minority concentration) where assistance will be directed

HUD‐funded activities are limited to the City’s Low‐and Moderate‐Income areas, which

encompass the majority of the City’s residential areas. Areas of the City outside of the CDBG

target areas will benefit from activities that are limited‐clientele in nature (i.e., elderly persons,

homeless persons, and severely disabled adults). Eligibility is typically established by household

income and household size. The following map shows the City’s low/mod Census Tracts and the

level of poverty in each.

Program funds will be expended based on program criteria. For example, public services are

available on a citywide basis for qualified beneficiaries; fair housing and program administration

activities will also be carried out on a citywide basis. Housing code enforcement and community

development projects (i.e., street and park improvement projects) will be carried out in the

City’s Low‐ and Moderate‐Income Areas (i.e., areas of the City where the majority of residents

meet HUD’s Low‐ and Moderate‐Income definition).

HOME funds will be utilized to support housing acquisition, rehabilitation and new

construction activities for low‐income households. To qualify for these funds an evaluation of

household income will be undertaken.

ESG funding will be used to support programs that help prevent homelessness or that assist

those already homeless with emergency/transitional housing and related support services. To

ensure only eligible households are assisted, each program participant is required to document

their eligibility.

HOPWA funding will be used to support programs specifically for persons with HIV/AIDS

throughout the County of Orange. To qualify for these funds an evaluation of household income

will be undertaken.

HUD also requires the City to indicate if resources will be utilized to benefit areas with

racial/ethnic minority concentrations. Based on Census Bureau ethnicity/race estimates,

Anaheim is approximately 52.6% Hispanic/Latino; this population resides throughout the City

but with concentrations highest in the central city. The second largest minority population in

Anaheim is Asian, which comprise approximately 15.1% of the City’s population. Asian

households are mainly concentrated in the City’s west‐side and east‐side areas.

Affordable Housing

AP‐55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)

Introduction

The most important impediment to affordable housing revolves around the lack of

Federal, State and local resources for affordable housing initiatives. The lack of programs and

resources to reduce excessive rent or mortgage burdens to qualified persons is a key factor.

Another barrier to affordable housing in Anaheim is the high cost of housing created by a

demand for housing, both existing and new, which exceeds the current supply. Despite the

recent downturn in the housing market nationally, housing prices, both purchase and rental,

remain high, especially for lower income households.

In addition, both the cost of site acquisition and development costs are very high. These facts

make housing construction expensive and put affordable housing out of the reach of low‐

income households.

The Housing Needs Assessment also identified stringent criteria in the mortgage origination

process due to the 2009 foreclosure crisis, which also is outside the scope and control of City

policy. In some instances, issues revolving around personal finances (lack of down payment,

credit history, employment history) affect the availability of affordable housing for Anaheim

residents.

The City of Anaheim approved a Preliminary Funding Award Letter for Innovative Housing

Opportunities, Inc. (Developer) for the development of a 54‐unit affordable rental senior

housing project for extremely‐low, very‐low and Low‐ income seniors. Subject to final financing

commitments, the Developer will obtain a long term ground lease for a City‐owned site, a

HOME funds Loan and 53 Section 8 Project‐Based Vouchers to help finance construction of the

project.

The Homeless Assistance Pilot Program (HAPP) is a program designed to help stabilize and

house our homeless families with children in Anaheim schools. The program partners are the

Illumination Foundation, Anaheim Union High School District and the City of Anaheim. The

program focuses on providing self‐sufficiency case management services and tenant based

rental assistance to families that have children attending Anaheim schools. It’s anticipated that

the program will serve 30 households in the FY 17/18 fiscal year.

The Chronically Homeless Individuals Pilot Program (CHIPP) is a program designed to house

individuals that do not meet the chronically homeless definition or have a low scoring VI‐

SPDAT. The program partners are the Illumination Foundation, MERCY and the City of Anaheim.

The program focuses on providing self‐sufficiency case management services and tenant based

rental assistance. It’s anticipated that the program will serve 15‐30 households in the FY 17/18

fiscal year.

The numbers shown in the tables 11 & 12 are broken down as follows: Table 11 ‐ One Year Goals for the Number of Households to be Supported

Homeless = the number of anticipated persons assisted with ESG (1000) + number of new rental units in senior project (6) Non‐Homeless = the number of expected residential rehabilitation households (30) + the expected number of new units constructed (47) + number of units acquired (12) Special‐needs ‐ the expected number of persons served with HOPWA funds (239)

AP‐65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)

Introduction

Homelessness affects many people from all social, economic, and racial backgrounds. The

causes of homelessness are varied and include loss of employment, mental illness, substance

abuse, a health crisis, domestic violence, foreclosure, limited income (such as SSI, for elderly

and people with disabilities which prevent them from aging in place due to high cost of living)

and loss of familial support. Individuals or families that are homeless have a variety of special

needs, including emergency shelter, counseling, job training, transitional housing, and

permanent supportive housing. The long‐term housing needs are for transitional housing and

permanent supportive housing.

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

The needs of homeless persons are complex and require a wide range of specialized services.

Numerous agencies are often involved in the care of a homeless person, providing distinct

services such as housing, mental health counseling, employment training, and case work

services. A number of activities and services are funded to help the needs of the homeless and

other special needs populations.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons

Homeless persons and families have both housing and service needs. The immediate long‐term

housing needs are for transitional housing and permanent supportive housing. Homelessness

results from a combination of factors related to the persons and families who are homeless and

the socioeconomic systems that support them. Personal factors include generational poverty,

weak or absent family and social networks, inadequate education or job skills, family break‐up

resulting from violence or divorce, catastrophic illness, prison re‐alignment, mental illness, and

substance abuse/addiction. Socioeconomic factors include an inadequate supply of affordable

housing, reduction in health and human services, the high cost of child care and transportation,

and the lack of jobs that pay living wages.

The affordable housing strategies will help to address these needs, while the City’s ESG

programs will provide a number of services and assistance to those who find themselves

without shelter.

In February 2012, the City Council approved a code amendment to permit emergency shelters

in the City’s Industrial (I) Zone subject to specified standards. A code amendment was also


43


approved by the City Council in September 2013 relating to the siting of supportive and

transitional housing uses in residential zones in compliance with Senate Bill SB (2) State law. On

May 5, 2015, the Anaheim City Council voted to approve funding for a cooperative agreement

with the County of Orange and the City of Fullerton to facilitate the study and fund the

purchase of property in connection with the potential establishment of a year‐round homeless

emergency shelter On November 17, 2015, the County of Orange Board of Supervisors

subsequently approved funding for the acquisition and conversion of an existing industrial

warehouse building located in the City of Anaheim for the creation of a 200 bed Homeless

Shelter with a multi‐service center aimed at helping people transition into permanent housing

and employment.

The City entered into an Affordable Housing Agreement (Lincoln Avenue Apartments) with a

Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) for the development of a 70‐unit

affordable rental housing project for very low and extremely low‐income households. The

Developer obtained approval for a combination of HOME CHDO funds and Section 8 PBV

assistance to create housing for families assisted by the Homeless Assistance Pilot Program, a

partnership between the City, Anaheim Union High School District and the Illumination

Foundation. The project will provide 48 units for Homeless persons, 15 units for Homeless

persons with mental ill ness and 7 general affordable units.

The City initiated the Homelessness Assistance Pilot Program referenced above, which focuses

on homeless families with children in Anaheim schools. The program provides supportive

services and rental assistance for up to 24 months. To date 75 households with 158 children

have been assisted.

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

homelessness, including providing Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers to homeless people,

providing funds to keep people in their homes in times of financial crisis, and implementing a

rapid re‐housing program. Other support services, such as job and training assistance, food

assistance, and counseling are also available to help persons and families recover from

homelessness and to avoid returning to homelessness.


44


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.

Every jurisdiction receiving McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act funds must develop and

implement a Discharge Coordination Policy, to the maximum extent practicable. The County of

Orange is equipped to serve people discharged from publicly funded institutions or systems of

care (such as health care facilities, foster care or other youth facilities, or correction programs

and institutions) in order to prevent such discharge from immediately resulting in homelessness

for such people. The City will refer people facing such conditions to the County of Orange for

additional resources.

The City has certified to HUD that it will undertake efforts to develop and implement a

homeless discharge plan. HUD has stated that as part of the City developing and implementing

a homeless discharge coordination policy it may use ESG homeless prevention funds to assist

Very Low‐Income individuals and families at risk of becoming homeless after being released

from publicly funded institutions such as health care facilities, foster care or other youth

facilities, or corrections institutions or programs.

On a regional basis, the County’s Community Services – Housing and Community Development

Department has taken the lead in developing and implementing a discharge plan for the entire

county and has solicited the assistance of cities such as Anaheim. As this plan evolves, the City

will explore various options in programming that ensures the needs of Anaheim’s residents are

met while also addressing regional planning efforts. At the present time ESG homelessness

prevention funds are not being utilized in support of a discharge plan.

AP‐75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)

Introduction

The most important impediment to affordable housing revolves around the lack of income of

the City residents. Exacerbating this factor is the lack of Federal and State resources for

affordable housing initiatives. The lack of programs and resources to reduce excessive rent or

mortgage burdens to qualified persons is a key factor. The City will do all that it can with the

limited resources available to maintain and produce affordable housing, both owner and renter

units. Home rehabilitation programs are in place and have been effective in keeping

homeowners in habitable housing.

The most effective means to remove barriers to affordable housing is to have better paying jobs

for City residents. The City and its economic development programs are working to retain,

expand and attract businesses and to provide the qualified workforce necessary for those new

jobs.

Moreover, through the HOME funded first‐time homebuyer program, financial support of two

community housing development organizations, and three housing rehabilitation programs, the

city is incrementally addressing the lack of affordable housing for a variety of households. CDBG

funds will be used to continue the City’s owner‐occupied housing rehabilitation programs and

financial support of the Building Department’s successful code enforcement program.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve

as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning

ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the

return on residential investment

The City has taken the following actions to increase the supply of land available for the future

development of affordable housing and reduce barriers to affordable housing: a. Certified a

Final Environmental Impact Report for a General Plan Amendment; b. Approved a General Plan

Amendment to expand housing opportunities; c. Approved the conversion of 743 acres of

underutilized and/or underperforming commercial land primarily along major arterials to

residential land use; d. Approved a Zoning Code Amendment to provide more flexible

development standards for multiple family development; and e. Adopted a new Multiple Family

Affordable Housing Developments ordinance to encourage the development of affordable

housing for very low income families and was later merged with the City’s Density Bonus

Ordinance to allow for the creation of deeper incentives such as less stringent landscaping,

setbacks, building separation and building heights for developers who construct new affordable


47


rental housing projects; d. The Community Development Department continues to work with

the Planning Department to refine the Ordinance to seek greater incentives for the

development of affordable housing.

In February 2012, the City Council approved a code amendment to permit emergency shelters

in the City’s Industrial (I) Zone subject to specified standards. A code amendment was also

approved by the City Council in September 2013 relating to the siting of supportive and

transitional housing uses in residential zones in compliance with Senate Bill SB (2) State law. On

May 5, 2015, the Anaheim City Council voted to approve funding for a cooperative agreement

Shelter with a multi‐service center aimed at helping people transition into permanent housing

AP‐85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)

Introduction

Despite efforts made by the City and social service providers, a number of significant obstacles

to meeting underserved needs remain. With funding resources being scarce, funding becomes

the greatest obstacle for the City of Anaheim to meet its underserved needs. With insufficient

funding it leads to issues with maintaining funding levels and also limits the availability of

funding to the many worthy public service programs, activities and agencies.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs

The City is comfortable with the level of communication and contact among various social

service, housing and economic development service providers. Information and referral

services are provided to residents upon request. The City always works to assist residents in

obtaining the information they require to meet their housing and supportive service needs.

There are no identified gaps in the City's housing and community development programs and

services. However, because the level of demand for these programs exceeds the amount of

funding available to meet the demand, waiting lists have been established for many housing

and community development programs.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing

The City will continue to support and fund the Housing Rehabilitation, Emergency

Rehabilitation, First Time Home Buyers and Home CHDO projects in effort to foster and

maintain affordable housing.

Recognizing the ongoing need for affordable housing, the City has undertaken, or is in the

process of undertaking, various activities designed to improve the overall affordability of

housing opportunities throughout Anaheim. Since 2005, 2,431 new rental, for‐sale and

rehabilitation units have been completed with another 212 in the development pipeline for a

total of 2,643 affordable units.

Actions planned to reduce lead‐based paint hazards

The City communicates with the Orange County Health Care Agency Lead Poisoning Prevention

Program to identify reported cases of elevated blood levels in Anaheim. In FY 2015‐2016, there

were no reported cases of childhood lead poisoning in Anaheim.

The City and Housing Authority have implemented lead‐based paint testing and removal


49


activities as required under HUD’s Lead‐Based Paint regulations. The City has several

environmental consultants on‐call to assist with lead‐based paint testing and evaluation

services as needed.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty‐level families

The City will continue to provide activities to prevent individuals and families from becoming

homeless and to reduce the amount of homeless individuals and families. Activities include

making funds available to nonprofit organizations; providing assistance to individuals and

families at risk of homelessness and facing a one‐time extenuating circumstance of financial

hardship; providing interim rental assistance and other housing‐related costs to families at risk

of homelessness through the HPRP/RAFT Program; providing Section 8 Housing Choice

Vouchers to homeless individuals and families; and providing additional activities and

programs.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure

There are no identified gaps in institutional structural. The City's Community & Economic

Development Department houses several divisions that develop and implement affordable

housing programs and support services. The following agencies operate under the auspices of

the Department: the Anaheim Housing Authority, Housing Development, and Economic

Development, including Development Services and Property Services; and Workforce

Development, including Workforce Center, Workforce Administration, and Anaheim Workforce

Investment Board.

All of these divisions are managed by the Executive Director of Community & Economic

Development. Thus, the Executive Director is readily able to coordinate and integrate all

affordable housing and supportive service programs that operate through the Department. The

Department works closely with the Community Services Department Neighborhood Services

Division to conduct an active citizen participation process with neighborhood organizations. The

Department also participates in the Neighborhood Improvement Program in collaboration with

other City Departments including Police, Community Services, City Attorney, Planning, Public

Works, and Public Utilities, to address factors that contribute in the deterioration of

neighborhoods.

Public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and other service agencies all play an integral role in

the provision of affordable housing and support services. The City will continue to work with

these agencies to meet the proposed housing and community development goals. The City has

also developed working relationships with identified HOME Community Housing Development


50


Organizations (CHDOs). CHDOs are organizations that will sponsor, develop and/or own

affordable housing projects that benefit residents at or below 80 percent of the area's median

family income. HUD requires a minimum of 15 percent of each year’s HOME grant amount to

be set aside for CHDO activities.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social

service agencies

The City recognizes that the preparation of the Annual Action Plan requires discussion and

consultation with many diverse groups, organizations, and agencies. The City held twelve

neighborhood meetings and three public hearings in the course of preparing the AAP, and the

Plan was reviewed at a meeting of the Housing & Community Development Commission prior

prior to its submittal to City Council for its approval. These meetings are summarized in the

Citizen Participation Section.

The City also reviewed community and regional plans, held discussions with the other

participating jurisdictions in the County, reviewed the Housing Authority Plans, as well as

assessing the findings of a web‐based survey to determine needs and priorities.

Input from these private and governmental health, mental health and services agencies was

instrumental in preparing the Plan.

HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2)

1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows:

The City does not receive any atypical loans, grant instruments, nonconforming loan

guarantees, and other forms of investments.

2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:

In the case of down payment assistance loans funded with Home funds, the full HOME

investment is recaptured out of net sale proceeds, as defined under 24 CFR 92.254

paragraph (a)(5)(ii)(A)(1). HOME loans are due 30 years from the date the property was

purchased, or upon the sale or transfer of the property, whichever occurs first. Interest is

charged on the loan at a yearly rate of three percent. In the event of a foreclosure or deed

in lieu of foreclosure of the First Deed of Trust, any provisions stipulated in the City’s Deed

of Trust, or any provisions in any other collateral agreement restricting the use of the

property to low income households or otherwise restricting the Borrower’s ability to sell the

property shall have no further force or effect on subsequent owners or purchasers of the

property. The restrictions, if any, on transferability of the property will automatically

terminate if title to the property is transferred by foreclosure or deed‐in‐lieu of foreclosure,

or if the mortgage is transferred to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban

Development. Any person, including successors or assigns (other than the borrower or a

related entity of the borrower), receiving title to the property through a foreclosure or deed

in lieu of foreclosure of the First Deed of Trust shall receive title to the property free and

clear from such restrictions. Further, if the senior lien holder acquires title to the property

pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the City’s Deed of Trust shall automatically

terminate upon the senior lien holder’s acquisition of title, provided that (a) the lender has

been given written notice of a default under the First Deed of Trust and (b) the lender shall

not have cured the default under the First Deed of Trust, or diligently pursued curing the

default as determined by the senior lien holder within the 60‐day period provided in such

notice sent to the lender.

3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:

The HOME rule at §92.254(a)(4) establishes the period of affordability for all homebuyer

housing. How to calculate the amount of HOME assistance in each unit and therefore the

applicable period of affordability varies depending on whether the unit is under resale or


53


recapture provisions.

a. Period of Affordability Under Resale Provisions

Under resale, §92.254(a)(5(i) of the HOME rule states that the period of affordability is

based on the total amount of HOME funds invested in the housing. Any HOME program

income used to assist the project is included when determining the period of affordability

under a resale provision.

b. Period of Affordability Under Recapture Provisions

For HOME‐assisted homebuyer units under the recapture option, the period of affordability

is based upon the direct HOME subsidy provided to the homebuyer that enabled the

homebuyer to purchase the unit. Any HOME program income used to provide direct

assistance to the homebuyer is included when determining the period of affordability. The

following table outlines the required minimum affordability periods.

Less than $15,000 = 5 Years Affordability

Between $15,000 and $39,999.99 = 10 Years Affordability

More than $40,000 = 15 Years Affordability

4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:

Not Applicable

Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)

Reference 91.220(l)(4)

1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment)

See attached ESG Policy and Procedure Manual.

2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system.

The County of Orange in collaboration with the CoC, the OC Commission to End

Homelessness, and other ESG entitlement jurisdictions including the City, will utilize

assessment and evaluation instruments developed in consultation with the HMIS lead


54


agency and previously funded HPRP grantees. The County will ensure the ongoing

coordination of program design and eligibility standards. ESG subrecipient staff will conduct

initial intake interviews with clients to verify program eligibility and assess levels of need. In

order to be eligible for ESG assistance, clients must be homeless as defined by HUD and may

earn no more than 30% of Area Median Income. Subgrantees will complete income

verification forms to be submitted for 3rd party verification.

3. Identify the process for making sub‐awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith‐based organizations).

The City may make its ESG funds available to non‐profit organizations through the issuance

of a notice of funding availability. Any 501(c)(3) organization in good standing may submit a

request for funding for eligible ESG activities. These applications will be reviewed and

evaluated by the City’s Housing Community Development Commission that will develop

funding recommendations. The recommendations will be forward to the Anaheim City

Council for consideration.

4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.

The City is consulting with the CoC on an ongoing basis to develop policies and funding

recommendations regarding the use of ESG funds. Based on the CoC’s strategy that reflects

the participation of all 34 cities in Orange County, County Agencies, the County’s homeless

housing and service providers, and other community groups, including non‐profits, local

governmental agencies, faith‐based organizations, the homeless and formerly homeless,

interested business leaders, schools and other stakeholders to identify the gaps and unmet

needs of the County’s homeless, the City will determine the best method to meet this

homeless participant requirement as part of its funding recommendation process.

5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.

The City will continue to use the outcome standards indicated in the previous five‐year

Consolidated Plan as preliminary performance standards. The City will continue to review

these standards in consultation with the CoC to determine their relevance and usefulness in

measuring the performance of the ESG program.

Citizen Participation Plan

In accordance with HUD regulations found in 24 CFR Part 91, this Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) is designed to provide opportunities for Anaheim residents to give input on community needs and priority uses of the following federal entitlement programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) including Section 108 Loan submittals, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). The CPP outlines the steps the City will take to encourage and ensure the participation of all citizens in the development of the Consolidated Plan Document (CPD), the Annual Action Plan, and the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) documents. While this CPP aims to ensure the participation of all Anaheim residents, special efforts will be made to engage very low and low income persons, particularly those living in blighted areas; persons living in areas where federal funds are proposed to be used; minority residents; residents of assisted housing; low income residents of target revitalization areas; non‐English speaking persons; and persons with physical disabilities. Additionally, this plan engages the Continuum of Care, other homeless related nonprofit organizations, and public housing agencies in the development of the Consolidated Plan and its associated Annual Action Plans.

A. Program Applicability

Each year the City of Anaheim receives from HUD the following entitlement grants on behalf of its residents:

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program;

Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program;

HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program;

Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program; and

Any new or successor program(s), if any, developed by HUD to consolidate, expand orotherwise alter the above named programs and which HUD determines shall begoverned by the Citizen Participation Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91, as amended.

B. The Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans Development Process

The City of Anaheim program year for each Annual Action Plan of the Consolidate Plan begins on July 1st and ends on the following June 30th every year. In order to receive HUD entitlement grants, the City's Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans are submitted to HUD by May 15th, 45 days before the beginning of a new program year. The current Consolidated Plan was adopted by the City Council in May 2015. This amended plan reflects the change from at‐large elections to District area elections and the restructuring of the City’s Boards and Commissions as approved by the Anaheim City Council on March 7, 2017. The process for developing the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan starts in February of each year. An Annual Action Plan budget and program description for HUD‐funded activities is adopted for each program year.

C. Public Hearings

The City of Anaheim has two advisory bodies that are involved in the preparation of the Consolidated Plan, the Annual Action Plans and the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report. The first advisory body is called the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) and it consists of

1

Attachment 4

nine (9) community residents appointed by the City Council. HCDC meets the first and third Wednesday of every month and conducts business according to its Bylaws. Every program year, HCDC holds two HUD required public hearings to obtain residents' views and to respond to proposals and questions about the HUD funded programs.

The two public hearings conducted by HCDC are:

The first public hearing is held at least 30 days prior to the City Council approval. The purpose ofthis public hearing is to receive public input on the activities proposed in the upcoming AnnualAction Plan. These activities range from capital improvement projects to programadministration.

The second public hearing is held at least 15 days prior to submitting to HUD the ConsolidatedAnnual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER). The intend of this public hearing is to collectpublic comments on activities and accomplishments of the previous program year. Thecomments received are included with the preparation of the CAPER.

The second advisory body is the Community Services Board (CSB) and it consists of seven (7) community residents appointed by the City Council. CSB meets the second Thursday of every month and conducts business according to its Bylaws. CSB holds two public hearings to receive input on public service activities, and formulates funding recommendations for these activities under the CDBG program. The funding recommendations developed by the CSB are forwarded to HCDC for inclusion in the Annual Action Plan budget.

Together, these public hearings provide opportunities to engage the members of the public to identify housing and community development needs. The public hearings will result in the development of proposed activities and strategies, the implementation of programs to affirmatively further fair housing, and the performance review of the previous program year activities. All public meetings and public hearings on the Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, CAPER, Citizen Participation Plan shall be conducted according to the California Ralph M. Brown Act.

Any other public hearings shall be conducted according to Section D (General Citizen Participation Requirements) of this CPP.

D. General Citizen Participation Requirements

1. General Policies

This Plan sets out the basic mandates for compliance under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and under 24 CFR Part 91. The parameters will continue to be a determination by the Mayor and City Council of the appropriate uses of all HUD entitlement grants, based upon the City's needs. The City will also follow the CPP in order to comply with citizen participation statutory and regulatory requirements.

recently, launched the Chronically Homeless Individuals Pilot Program (CHIPP), which

both provide rental assistance and supportive services for persons who are homeless in

Anaheim. However, to date, the City has lacked a centralized Anaheim-based location

where these services can be delivered. In order to address this gap, the Authority is

seeking approval to initiate the operation of the Anaheim Service Center (ASC) at the

property located at 883 South Anaheim Blvd. The center will be operated by the

Illumination Foundation (IF), an organization that, since July 2008, has worked tirelessly

to break the cycle of homelessness for Southern California’s most vulnerable population.

IF is the service provider for both the HAPP and CHIPP program. The building has

recently undergone significant rehabilitation, including upgrades to address accessibility

issues, and is ideally configured for the delivery of services including intake, case

management, and peer group meetings.

In addition to serving as the headquarters for the HAPP and CHIPP program, the ASC

will operate as a resource center for individuals and families who are at-risk of

homelessness, as well as persons who are already experiencing homelessness and are

seeking services.

Under this model, IF staff will be available to assist families and/or individuals to

navigate through the myriad of services that are available through local social service

agencies, the City and the County in the hopes of connecting persons to the appropriate

services, based on individual need. IF will work closely with the Anaheim Collaborative,

as well as CityNet, the City’s street outreach provider, to ensure that persons in need of

these services have access to, and are aware of, the ASC.
