Re: Community Development Block Grant, 2017-2018 Action Plan
During the May 9, 2017 meeting, Mayor Muldoon requested information about the City's
Community Development Block Grant Section 108 Loan.
Section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 provides for a loan
guarantee component of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
The loan guarantee program provides communities with a source of financing for
economic development, housing rehabilitation, public facilities, and other physical
development projects, including improvements to increase their resilience against natural
disasters.
In fiscal year 2003, the City received $2,400,000 as a Section 108 loan to assist with the
funding of the Balboa Village Improvement Program where the City invested over
$10,000,000 to improve public spaces. The loan is collateralized by Community
Development Block Grant allocations and should the program be eliminated, the General
Fund. The CDBG program is a long-term, stable program and the risk to the General
Fund is considered low.
The original loan was refinanced in fiscal year 2015, lowering the average interest rate
from 6.5% to 1.5%, which reduced the total remaining interest payments by $239,998.
The economic gain on refinancing is $187,665 (the present value difference between the
old and new debt service schedules). Future principal payments range from $169,000 to
$208,000. The outstanding balance on June 30, 2017, will be $1,066,000 and the final
maturity of the loan is on August 1, 2022.
The loan was financed as part of a larger Department of Housing and Urban Development
bond issuance with many participating agencies. As is the norm with most tax-exempt
bond issues, there is a ten-year lock -out period where the bonds cannot be redeemed
under any circumstance. After the lock -out period, the bonds may be optionally redeemed
at par without an early redemption premium; however in respect to the City's loan, the
lock -out period ends in 2025, which is after its maturity date of August 1, 2022. Therefore,
the City will be unable to pay off the loan early.

DISCUSSION:
The City of Newport Beach receives a formula grant allocation of CDBG funds each
year. The objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by
providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic
opportunities, principally for low and moderate -income persons. CDBG is authorized
under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. CDBG funds
may be used for a wide variety of programs, services and facilities improvements,
including but not limited to:
Community and senior services
Fair housing enforcement and landlord/tenant mediation
Homeless prevention and domestic violence programs
Commercial fapade improvements

Section 108 loan payments
Since July 1, 1989, the City of Newport Beach has received from HUD a direct
allocation of approximately $12.4 million in CDBG funds, with annual allocations ranging
from a low of $323,777 in 2011, to a high of $534,000 in 1995. The 2017-2018 grant
allocation is estimated to be $359,743, based on last year's grant amount.
According to CDBG regulations, the City may spend up to 20 percent of the annual
formula grant allocation of CDBG funds for program administration and 15 percent for
community services such as senior meal delivery, domestic violence counseling or
homeless prevention programs. The remaining amount of funding may be used for
projects such as commercial fagade improvements, street and sidewalk improvements,
disabled accessibility improvements, public facilities such as the construction or
rehabilitation of park and recreational facilities provided the projects meet applicable
CDBG regulations and national objectives.
Each year, the City uses a portion of the funds reserved for program administration to
comply with Fair Housing Act requirements and make fair housing enforcement and
landlord/tenant mediation services available to the community. These services have
been provided free of cost to Newport Beach residents by the Fair Housing Foundation
since 2011.
On December 19, 2016, the City published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) in
the Daily Pilot newspaper to announce the availability of CDBG funds and solicit
proposals from tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations that provide eligible CDBG services
or projects that benefit Newport Beach residents. The notice and application form were
also available on the City website.
In response to the NOFA, five nonprofit organizations submitted applications for CDBG
grants. In consideration of the funding available, the amount of funding requested, past
performance, anticipated benefit to Newport Beach residents, and City priorities, staff
recommends program/project funding levels in the Action Plan as follows:
Public Services (subject to 15% grant cap)

The Action Plan, found in the draft resolution as Attachment A, describes each program.
There is one new public service activity proposed for the upcoming year and two new
capital projects.
1. The StandUp for Kids Street Outreach is a public service program that will
provide services by reaching out to teens and youths (ages 12-24) who are
homeless, at -risk, aging -out foster youth, and runaways. This non-profit
organization will provide for necessities (food, hygiene products, and
clothing), bus passes, emergency housing, and medical expenses not
covered by MediCal (co -payments for medical and dental exams,
prescriptions, mental health, and substance abuse treatments). The program
is designed to prevent and eliminate youth homelessness, and staff is
recommending that $5,000 be allocated to this new program.
2. The Community Facilities ADA project will provide funding to make Americans
with Disabilities Act improvements to public facilities throughout the City of
Newport Beach. This project would focus on the removal of physical or
architectural barriers to accessibility for persons with disabilities.
3. The Community Infrastructure ADA project will provide funding to make
Americans with Disabilities Act improvements to public infrastructure such as
sidewalks and pedestrian routes throughout the City of Newport Beach. The
Harbor View Hills neighborhood will be targeted, as that area does not
provide ramps. Other neighborhoods will be examined and improved on a
priority need basis. Again, this project would focus on the removal of physical
or architectural barriers to accessibility for persons with disabilities.
On April 7, 2017, staff published a notice in the Daily Pilot informing the general public
that the City of Newport Beach had prepared the Draft 2017-2018 Action Plan. The
notice also indicated the plan would be available for review and comment until May 9,
2017. The public has been provided an opportunity to provide oral and/or written
comments on the proposed activities included in the Draft 2017-2018 Action Plan. At the
time this report was prepared, staff has not received any public comments. Additionally,
the current Citizen Participation Plan requires that a public hearing be held to receive
testimony from interested residents or parties regarding the Action Plan. The May 9,
2017, public hearing fulfills this requirement.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The development of required plans and allocation of CDBG program funds is an
administrative activity exempt under 24 CFR Part 58, Section 58.34 of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ("NEPA"), as amended.
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of
the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. The provision of public
social services, program administration, and the debt service on the Section 108 loan
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or
indirectly. Section 15301 allows for the minor alteration of existing public facilities
involving negligible or no expansion of the use. The Action Plan includes two
Community ADA improvement projects that will result in the removal of physical or
architectural barriers within existing public facilities to accessibility for persons with
disabilities. The project will also result in the construction of compliant facilities including
curb ramps, sidewalks, wheelchair ramps, handrails, building entries, and restrooms
within existing public facilities and public rights-of-way. Collectively these improvements
to existing public facilities do not expand the existing uses or structures.
NOTICING:
In accordance with HUD requirements for a 30 -day public review and comment period,
notice of the public hearing was published in the Daily Pilot on April 7, 2017. Notice was
also sent to each of the applicants requesting funding and emailed to all parties that
have signed up to receive notifications of the Planning Division. Further, the agenda
item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting
at which the City Council considers the item).

Executive Summary
AP -05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The 2017-2018 Action Plan is the third of five annual plans implementing the 2015-2019
Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals for the investment of annual allocations of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The Action Plan identifies available resources, annual goals, projects and
activities for the period beginning July 1, 2017 and ending June 30, 2018.
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 the
Strategic Plan. The CDBG program generally provide for a range of eligible activities for the
benefit of low- and moderate -income Newport Beach residents, as discussed below.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created the CDBG Program with three
primary objectives against which HUD evaluates the Consolidated Plan and the City's
performance under the Plan. Those primary objectives are decent housing, suitable living
environments, and expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate -income persons.
The CDBG regulations require that each activity meet one of the following national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate -income persons;
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or
• Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency (usually the result
of a natural disaster).
For the 2017-2018 program year, the City estimates receiving $359,743 of CDBG funds from HUD.
When this amount is combined with prior year unallocated funds and program income received,
the City estimates that will be $1,587,031 available for inclusion in the 2017-2018 Annual Action
Plan.
The specific sources of funds taken into consideration for the 2017-2018 program year estimated
budget are categorized in Table 1.

3. Evaluation of past performance
The City is currently implementing the projects and activities included in the 2016-2017 Action
Plan. As of this writing, all projects and activities are underway.
The investment of HUD resources during the 2015-2016 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:
• Provide Fair Housing services to 145 residents;
• Provide Public Services to 109 residents;
• Provide Special Needs to 11 residents;
• Provide Homelessness Prevention and Assistance to 243 residents; and
• Make the scheduled debt service payments on the City's Section 108 Loan.
4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
2015-2019 Citizen Participation Plan
Subsequent to the enactment of the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to
Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009, HUD revised the Consolidated Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91
to emphasize the importance of citizen participation and consultation in the development of the
Consolidated Plan. HUD strengthened the consultation process with requirements for
consultation with the CoC, Public Housing Authorities (PHA), business leaders, civic leaders and
public or private agencies that address housing, health, social service, victim services,
employment, or education needs of low-income individuals and families, homeless individuals
and families, youth and/or other persons with special needs. Together with the analytic
capabilities of the eCon Plan Suite, these requirements created the conditions necessary to
implement a collaborative, data -driven and place -based planning process that includes a robust
level of citizen participation and consultation.
The City adopted its current Citizen Participation Plan on May 12, 2015 that reflects regulatory
changes and process improvements. In accordance with the City's adopted Citizen Participation
Plan, the City facilitated citizen participation through surveys, community meetings and public
hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low- and moderate -income persons,
particularly those living in areas and in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by
residents of predominantly low- and moderate -income neighborhoods. The consultation process
included representatives of the CoC, PHA, and other specified groups who completed surveys,
provided local data and assisted the City to ensure practical coordination of strategies to
maximize impact and to avoid duplication of effort.

AP -10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(1)
1. Introduction
The City of Newport Beach consulted with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and
organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, creation of job opportunities
for low- and moderate -income residents, and/or provision of services to children, elderly
persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless
persons. To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following
methods:
• Stakeholder surveys (web -based and paper -surveys)
• Individual stakeholder consultations
• Community meetings
• Public hearings
• Receipt of written comments
The input gathered from these consultation partners helped establish and inform the objectives
and goals described in the current Strategic Plan. Specific comments received from consultation
partners are included in the Attachments section of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. In the
development of the 2017-2018 Action Plan, the City provided each agency with an opportunity
to comment on the draft Action Plan during the public review and comment period.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(1)).
The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various
service providers to maximize the effectiveness of the CDBG program. As a result, during the
development of this Consolidated Plan, the City consulted closely with organizations that
provide assisted housing, health services and other community -focused programs. Outreach
efforts included surveys including specific questions associated with coordination, invitations to
community meetings and follow-up in-person interviews where appropriate.
The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the
upcoming five-year planning period with these organizations and agencies. The City will
continue strengthening relationships and alignment among these organizations.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 15-24
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness
The Continuum of Care (CoC) for Orange County guides the development of homeless
strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region.
Orange County's homeless system of care is comprised of a network of public, private, faith -
based, for-profit, and nonprofit service providers who utilize several federal, state and local
resources to provide services for homeless people. The region's municipalities, including the
City of Newport Beach, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at
risk of becoming homeless. The County's nonprofit community plays a key role in the
Continuum of Care system. Hundreds of agencies throughout the County provide programs
ranging from feeding the homeless on the street to creating permanent supportive housing
opportunities. These services are available to homeless families with children, and single men
and women. The County's nonprofit community also serves special needs populations, such as
victims of domestic violence, veterans, the disabled and youth.
The CoC guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs
to end homelessness throughout the region. The City provided a detailed questionnaire to the
CoC to identify the CoC's perceived needs in the county and its objectives to address the needs
of different homeless populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals,
families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth and persons at risk of homelessness.
Following the delivery and response to this questionnaire, the City followed up with the CoC to
clarify existing needs and objectives and understand opportunities for collaboration and
coordination during the five-year planning process.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate
outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS
In the development of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City of Newport Beach consulted
with 25 housing, social service and other entities involved in housing, community and economic
development in Newport Beach and how CDBG funds and other resources should be invested
to provide decent affordable housing, a suitable living environment and economic
opportunities for low- and moderate -income residents. The Orange County Continuum of Care
was consulted directly by telephone and e-mail to discuss performance standards, outcomes,
and policies and procedures for HMIS.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 15-25
The Orange County CoC established a collaborative implementation and management with the
three CoCs located in Los Angeles County (City of Pasadena, City of Glendale, and Los Angeles
County). The Collaborative developed and maintains a Policies and Procedures guide for the use
of the HMIS system. Additionally, HMIS system administrators provide training as needed to
HMIS users and provide troubleshooting assistance on an "as needed" basis.
Table 4 provides a listing of the entities consulted as part of this planning process.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting
The City established and followed a process for the development of the five-year Consolidated
Plan that included broad participation from the community. To assist in the identification of
priority needs in the City, the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey was
prepared and distributed to residents of the City to solicit resident input in the prioritization of
needs related to community services, community facilities, infrastructure, neighborhood
services, special needs services, businesses and jobs, and housing. The surveys were available
online and also were made available at various public facilities.
A community meeting to discuss the housing and community development needs in the
community was held on February 26, 2015. The public hearing took place on May 12, 2015 to
receive comments on the draft 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan.
At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low- and moderate -income
residents, members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these
populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by
the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved.
In the preparation of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City followed the process
established for citizen participation set forth in the Citizen Participation Plan. To promote
greater public accessibility to program documents, the Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated
Plan, Action Plans, CAPERs and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice are posted
on the City website at:
https://www.newportbeachca.gov/index.aspx?page=1871
In the preparation of the 2017-2018 Action Plan, the City made the draft Action Plan available
for public review and comment from April 7, 2017 to May 9, 2017. Residents were invited to
review the draft Action Plan and to attend the public hearing or submit written comments
concerning the projects and activities in the Action Plan.

AP -15 Expected Resources — 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The projects and activities included in the 2017-2018 Action Plan are based on resources that
are reasonably anticipated to be available to the City from federal, state, local and private
sources from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. The $995,085 of program income is the net
proceeds available from the sale of the Balboa Theater in 2016. The $231,486 of prior year
resources is as a result of 1) cancellation of the 2015-2016 Commercial Fagade Improvements
Activity; 2) cancellation of the 2016-2017 West Newport Recreation Facility Activity; and 3)
unexpended funds from other completed CDBG activities. The actual resources available to
support activities during the implementation of the remainder of the 2015-2019 Consolidated
Plan may vary significantly due to factors outside of the City's control. For example, HUD
formula grant allocations are subject to change each year based on a number of factors such as
the amount of the national appropriation, changes in ACS population data applied to the CPD
grant formulas, statutory changes to the CPD grant formulas, the addition or removal of
entitlements receiving a particular CPD grant and the availability of reallocated funds.
Additionally, state, local and private resources will vary significantly depending on economic
conditions.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City and its development partners will continue to seek new opportunities to leverage
federal funds, such as the Low -Income Tax Credit program and U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development Section 202 and 811 for the Elderly Program. Depending on the financing
structure of a given activity, the City may use CDBG funds to leverage appropriate state, local
and private resources, including but not limited to those listed below.
State Resources
• State Low -Income Housing Tax Credit Program
• Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN)
• CalHome Program
• Multifamily Housing Program (MHP)
• Housing Related Parks Grant
• CaIHFA Single and Multi -Family Program
• Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding
Local Resources
• Orange County Housing & Finance Agency (OCHFA) Funding
• Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA) Funding
• Orange County Continuum of Care Program
• Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) Programs
Private Resources
• Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP)
• Community Reinvestment Act Programs
• United Way Funding
• Private Contributions

Matching Requirements
The City of Newport Beach does not receive HOME funds as part of its entitlement allocation.
The amount of matching is therefore; not applicable for the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City does not currently own any publicly owned land or property that can be used to
address the needs of the Consolidated Plan.
Discussion
Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG programs, the City expects to utilize
approximately $2.9 million of CDBG funds and program income during the five-year period
beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2020 to achieve the goals of the Strategic Plan.
The City does not anticipate receiving any new program income funds during the remainder of
the five-year period, based on past and current projects and activities.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non -administrative CDBG
funds for program year 2017-2018 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 2017-2018 Action Plan in projects that provide public services to low -

AP -50 Geographic Distribution — 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
Based on evaluation of CPD Maps data, there are no areas within the City exhibiting a greater
level of need for affordable housing or services for low- and moderate -income residents and
there were no areas of the City containing minority concentrations; therefore, no geographic
priorities were established within the Consolidated Plan and allocation priorities will be driven
by citywide need. All CDBG funds will be directed toward activities benefitting low- and
moderate -income residents citywide.
The only exception to this approach would be for CDBG projects that are qualified on a low- and
moderate -income area basis where a specific proportion of the residents within the service
area must be low- and moderate -income residents, such as the new community public facility
and community infrastructure.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
For the 2017-2018 program year, 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 with needed assistance and youths that are homeless or at -risk
to become homeless.
Discussion
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non -administrative CDBG
funds for program year 2017-2018 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate -
income people.

AP -55 Affordable Housing — 91.220(g)
Introduction
As stated in the Consolidated Plan, the City of Newport Beach will continue its efforts to
leverage other funding sources such as the Affordable Housing Trust Fund to address the local
housing needs identified below.
Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing
Based on evaluation of 2007-2011 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, 7,790 are cost burdened households — meaning households
paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Additionally, 5,805 of the cost
burdened households are considered severely cost burdened households — meaning that they
pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Of the 5,805 severely cost burdened
households, 3,580 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 2,945
households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming
homeless. The City will continue to use its Affordable Housing Trust Fund and other available
options under the State Density Bonus law to create additional affordable housing. In February
2013, the City approved the Uptown Newport Planned Community consisting of 1,244 units
that included the requirement to construct affordable housing pursuant to State Density Bonus
Law. In April 2017, the City issued building permit for the first 462 units that include 92 units for
very -low income households. The California Statewide Communities Development Authority
(CSCDA) has issued $161,620,000 in tax-exempt and taxable multifamily affordable housing
bonds that will ensure the affordability for 55 years. The project construction will take
approximately 2 years.
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:
• 5,363 or 26 percent of the 20,950 owner -occupied housing units built between 15 and
34 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999).
• 12,619 or 61 percent of the 20,950 owner -occupied housing units in Newport Beach
were built 34 or more years ago (built prior to 1980).
• 3,934 or 23 percent of the 17,098 renter -occupied housing units in Newport Beach were
built between 15 and 34 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999).
• 11,655 or 68 percent of the 17,098 renter -occupied housing units in Newport Beach
were built 34 or more years ago (built prior to 1980).
Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low -
and moderate -income households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain
existing housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate -income households in
the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation
activities ensures that all economic segments of the community have the opportunity to live in
decent housing that meets local standards.

Discussion
In 2016, the City created a Senior Housing Assistance Repair Program (SHARP) in collaboration
with Habitat for Humanity Orange County (Habitat OC) granting up to $600,000 for critical
home repair for lower-income seniors. Program funding is from the City's Affordable Housing
Fund. The first project is complete and repairs were made to the siding, roof, paint, chimney,
faucets, outlets, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Five additional units are under
consideration and it is anticipated that the City may complete approximately 10 additional
projects in the coming program year.
The City of Newport Beach is registered as a Qualified Preservation Entity with the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). When notification is received of
the expiration of a prior affordable housing agreement, City staff evaluates the potential use of
funds to preserve the affordable units.

AP -60 Public Housing — 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Newport Beach Housing Authority does not administer Section 8 and does not own HUD
Public Housing. Newport Beach is within the service area of the Orange County Housing
Authority (OCHA) for the purposes of Section 8 and Public Housing. As of 2016, OCHA
administered a total of 9,973 housing vouchers throughout the County. Of these, 115 were
issued to Newport Beach residents. Families received 34 housing vouchers, 23 housing
vouchers were issued to Newport Beach's disabled population, and 58 housing vouchers were
issued to elderly households. OCHA monitors all units to ensure they are in adequate condition,
meeting the Section 8 Housing Quality Standards (HQS).
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
OCHA's stated goals include:
• Apply for additional housing assistance funding and programs that may become
available.
• Explore the use of Project -Based Housing Choice Vouchers or other housing funds to
promote the construction or acquisition activities that will result in additional units or
developments that will serve special needs populations.
• Ensure consistent quality of assisted housing services by maintaining high performer
status in Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) scores.
• Promote Family Self -Sufficiency incentives and homeownership opportunities for
Housing Choice Voucher participants in partnership with local programs and related
service providers.
• Expand assisted housing choices by conducting outreach efforts to increase the number
of property owners and their participation in housing assistance programs.
• Identify and utilize technology to enhance operational effectiveness and efficiency in
delivery of housing assistance services
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
OCHA supports resident councils and actively seeks input from PHA residents on the
management and implementation of OCHA policies and procedures.
Housing prices in Orange County are so high that homeownership opportunities are limited for
OCHA residents. On a limited basis, OCHA has partnered with Habitat for Humanity to provide
2017-2018 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 48
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)

two affordable homeownership units, but these types of efforts are limited.
OCHA also manages a Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership Program that it markets to all
OCHA program tenants.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
Not applicable. OCHA is designated as a High Performing PHA.
Discussion
Newport Beach continues to support OCHA in effective administration of its limited affordable
housing resources. The City also continues to work with OCHA to include the residents with
Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in the federally -funded programs administered by the City,
including any homeownership programs.

AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
Introduction
The City will invest CDBG funds during the 2017-2018 program year to address high priority
needs identified in the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan including preventing homelessness and
providing public services to homeless populations.
Homelessness Prevention Services
According to the results of the most recent data available from the bi-annual Point -In -Time
Homeless Count (PIT Count) held on January 24, 2015, on any given night in Orange County,
approximately 4,450 people are homeless, and over a course of a year, more than 15,291
people are expected to experience homelessness. To address incidences of homelessness in
Newport Beach and to prevent extremely -low income Newport Beach families from becoming
homeless, the City places a high priority on programs that work to prevent homelessness or
rapidly assist homeless individuals living in the community. To address this need, the City will
support CDBG public service activities that help prevent homelessness and that provide a
structured path to stable housing for individuals and families who become homeless.
Services for Residents with Special Needs
Analysis of available data and consultation with organizations providing services for special
needs populations revealed a high need for a range of additional services including, but not
limited to, those concerned with domestic violence, human trafficking, mental disabilities,
physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, substance abuse/alcoholism and HIV/AIDS.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing
their individual needs
To reach out to unsheltered homeless persons and assess their individual needs for the purpose
of connecting them with available emergency shelter and transitional housing resources, the
City of Newport Beach, through its Planning Division will provide information and referrals —
primarily to 2-1-1 Orange County. Additionally, to reduce and end homelessness, the City of
Newport Beach will provide CDBG public service funds to the following activities:
• Families Forward: Housing Program (200 people)
• Stand Up for Kids Orange County: Youth Street Outreach Program (15 people)
2017-2018 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 50
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
15-65
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
To address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons, the City
supports the Families Forward Housing Program that provides transitional housing, counseling
and case management to families at risk of homelessness. Each year, Families Forward serves
approximately 200 unduplicated people.
Additionally, the City supports Stand Up for Kids, an organization providing services by reaching
out teens and youths (ages 12-24) who are homeless, at -risk, aging -out foster youth, and
runaways. The organization provides for necessities (food, hygiene products and clothing), bus
passes, emergency housing and medical expenses not covered by Medi -Cal (co -payments for
Medi -Cal and dental exams, prescriptions, mental health, and substance abuse treatments).
The organization will serve approximately 15 unduplicated people.
Other organizations in the Continuum of Care (CoC) addressing the emergency shelter and
transitional housing needs of homeless persons include Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter, Orange
County Rescue Mission and WISE Place.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
To address the needs of homeless families, families with children, veterans and their families,
the City supports the Families Forward Housing Program, which provides transitional housing,
counseling and case management to families at risk of homelessness. Each year, Families
Forward serves approximately 200 unduplicated people through its transitional housing
program. When paired with financial counseling, career coaching and other available case
management services, Families Forward makes certain that families are ready to succeed in
their transition to permanent housing.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs

The Orange County CoC Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness included a goal to establish
countywide protocols and procedures to prevent people from being discharged from public and
private institutions of care into homelessness that will help decrease the number of persons
being discharged into homelessness. The CoC is seeking improve coordination among publicly
and privately funded institutions of care and local service agencies in the County of Orange in
order to decrease the number of persons being discharged into homelessness annually.
Discussion
The City of Newport Beach considers ending and preventing homelessness a high priority and
will support CDBG public service activities that help prevent homelessness and that provide a
structured path to stable housing for individuals and families who become homeless.

AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j)
Introduction:
A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains
the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property
taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and
availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from
impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair
housing choice are usually unlawful.
Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan Needs
Assessment Survey, the 2014-2021 Housing Element and market analysis, the primary barriers
to affordable housing in Newport Beach are housing affordability and the lack of monetary
resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in
the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply and insufficient resources are
available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.
For low- and moderate -income households, finding and maintaining decent affordable housing
is difficult due to the high cost of housing in Newport Beach and throughout the region in
general. Over 20 percent of the City's 38,048 households experience a cost burden or severe
cost burden, meaning that they pay more than 30 or 50 percent of their income for housing,
respectively. Consistent with available data, responses to the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan
Needs Assessment Survey indicate a high need for additional affordable housing in Newport
Beach.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
In the development of the 2014-2021 Housing Element, the City evaluated significant public
policies affecting affordable housing development such as land use controls, tax policies
affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges and growth limitations.
Based on this evaluation, the City determined that it has taken all appropriate and necessary
steps to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may have been a barrier to
affordable housing. Moreover, the City will continue to use its Affordable Housing Trust Fund to
fund future affordable housing projects.

Discussion:
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the
City will invest Affordable Housing Trust Fund resources to incentivize the development of
affordable housing during the five-year period of the Consolidated Plan. In addition, the City
will continue to work with the County and refer low- and moderate income residents for
participation in their Housing Rehabilitation Program.

AP -85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
Introduction:
In the implementation of the 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG resources
to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, reduce the number of poverty -level
families, develop institutional structure and enhance coordination between public and private
social service agencies.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate -income people
include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, and the high cost of housing
that is not affordable to low-income people. To address these obstacles, the City is investing
CDBG funds through the 2017-2018 Action Plan in projects that provide assistance to those
with special needs, projects that prevent homelessness 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 2017-2018 to projects and activities that
benefit low- and moderate -income people or people presumed under HUD regulations to be
low- and moderate -income.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
In early 2016, the City awarded $1,600,000 Affordable Housing Trust Funds to Seaview
Lutheran Plaza for the rehabilitation of 100 apartments for senior citizens, extending the
project's affordability period and additional 30 years. Additionally, $1,975,000 was awarded to
Newport Veterans Housing to rehabilitate 12 former market rate units to be rented affordably
for a period of 55 years, with a priority for low-income seniors and veterans. The City will
continue to evaluate alternate funding sources and programs to preserve and maintain existing
affordable housing such as the County's Residential Rehabilitation Program. In the
implementation of the 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan, the City will continue to look at alternate
funding sources and programs to preserve and maintain existing affordable housing such as the
County's Residential Rehabilitation Program. The City also continues to consider Density
Bonuses and other incentives on a project -by -project basis to encourage the construction of
housing for persons and families of very low, low, and moderate income.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
In the implementation of any future Residential Rehabilitation Programs, the City will
disseminate brochures provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to all applicants
as part of the transmittal of the program application. Any unit receiving assistance through the
2017-2018 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 55
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
15-70
program that was built prior to January 1, 1978 will be tested for lead-based paint. If lead-based
paint is present, appropriate abatement procedures are implemented as part of the
rehabilitation contract consistent with the requirements of 24 CFR Part 35.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals established in the 2015-2019
Consolidated Plan -Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan will help to reduce the number of
poverty -level families by:
• Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and
moderate -income households, including investment of the City's Housing Trust Fund
resources and using the State Density Bonus law to incentivize the development of
additional affordable housing units;
• Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and
eliminate homelessness;
• Supporting housing preservation programs that ensure low income households have a
safe, decent and appropriate place to live;
• Supporting public services through various nonprofits funded by CDBG that serve the
community's youth, seniors, families and those with special needs; and
• Promoting economic opportunity for all residents working for employers doing business
with the City of Newport Beach through the Commercial Fagade Improvement Program.
In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to
reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the
Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start provide a pathway out of poverty for families who are
ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally, in California, the
primary programs that assist families in poverty are CaIWORKs, CalFresh (formerly food stamps)
and Medi -Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment
assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs
such as housing, nutrition and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons
suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence and mental illness.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional delivery system in Newport Beach is high -functioning and collaborative —
particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a
network of capable community-based organizations that are delivering a full range of services
to residents. Affordable housing development and preservation activities will be carried out by
the Planning Division of the Community Development Department in partnership with other
2017-2018 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 56
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
15-71
agencies. Public service activities will be carried out by nonprofit organizations to achieve the
Strategic Plan goals. The Planning Division and the Public Works Department will work together
with contractors to implement public facility improvement projects.
One of the key ways the City is developing and expanding institutional structure to meet
underserved needs is by funding a wide variety of services targeted to seniors, special needs
populations and individuals or families at risk of homelessness with CDBG public service grants.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the
City will continue consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and
organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low- and moderate -
income residents in Newport Beach.
Discussion:
In the implementation of the 2017-2018 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.

Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in
connection with the awarding of any Federal contract, the making of any Federal grant, the

Specific CDBG Certifications
The Entitlement Community certifies that:
Citizen Participation -- It is in full compliance and following a detailed citizen participation plan that
satisfies the requirements of 24 CFR 91.105.
Community Development Plan -- Its consolidated housing and community development plan identifies
community development and housing needs and specifies both short-term and long-term community
development objectives that provide decent housing, expand economic opportunities primarily for
persons of low and moderate income. (See CFR 24 570.2 and CFR 24 part 570)
Following a Plan -- It is following a current consolidated plan (or Comprehensive Housing Affordability
Strategy) that has been approved by HUD.
Use of Funds -- It has complied with the following criteria:
1. Maximum Feasible Priority. With respect to activities expected to be assisted with CDBG funds,
it certifies that it has developed its Action Plan so as to give maximum feasible priority to
activities which benefit low and moderate income families or aid in the prevention or elimination
of slums or blight. The Action Plan may also include activities which the grantee certifies are
designed to meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because
existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the
community, and other financial resources are not available);
2. Overall Benefit. The aggregate use of CDBG funds including section 108 guaranteed loans
during program year(s) 2017 , , (a period specified by the grantee consisting of one,
two, or three specific consecutive program years), shall principally benefit persons of low and
moderate income in a manner that ensures that at least 70 percent of the amount is expended
for activities that benefit such persons during the designated period;
3. Special Assessments. It will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public improvements
assisted with CDBG funds including Section 108 loan guaranteed funds by assessing any amount
against properties owned and occupied by persons of low and moderate income, including any fee
charged or assessment made as a condition of obtaining access to such public improvements.
However, if CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of a fee or assessment that relates to
the capital costs of public improvements (assisted in part with CDBG funds) financed from
other revenue sources, an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect
to the public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds.
The jurisdiction will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public improvements assisted
with CDBG funds, including Section 108, unless CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of
fee or assessment attributable to the capital costs of public improvements financed from other
revenue sources. In this case, an assessment or charge may be made against the property with
respect to the public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds. Also, in the
case of properties owned and occupied by moderate -income (not low-income) families, an
assessment or charge may be made against the property for public improvements financed by a
source other than CDBG funds if the jurisdiction certifies that it lacks CDBG funds to cover the
assessment.
Excessive Force -- It has adopted and is enforcing:
A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies within its
15-88
jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent civil rights demonstrations; and
2. A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically barring entrance to or
exit from a facility or location which is the subject of such non-violent civil rights
demonstrations within its jurisdiction;
Compliance With Anti -discrimination laws -- The grant will be conducted and administered in
