1. Introduction
The 2019-2020 Action Plan is the fifth 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, 2019 and ending June 30, 2020.
The City of Newport Beach (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 provides for a range of eligible
activities which benefit 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 2019-2020 program year, the City estimates it will receive $358,444 of CDBG funds from
HUD. In the event that the actual amount of CDBG funding received from HUD is higher or lower
than anticipated, the City will adjust the funding amounts for each activity proportionally and in
compliance with regulatory requirements for funding allocations to certain types of CDBG
activities. Table 1 provides the amount of CDBG funds available for the 2019-2020 program year.

3. Evaluation of past performance
The City is currently implementing the activities included in the 2018-2019 Action Plan. As of this
writing, all activities are underway.
The investment of HUD resources during the 2017-2018 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 102 residents;
• Provide Public Services to 130 residents;
• Provide Homelessness Prevention and Assistance to 177 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 Continuum of Care of Orange County (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.

Newport Beach Civic Center. Community residents and stakeholders attended the meeting and
received a presentation on the importance of the Consolidated Plan, Action Plan and the Analysis
of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. Many questions were answered concerning each of the
planning documents and participants commented on the extensive efforts made to reach out to
the low- and moderate -income community through traditional methods such as newspaper
advertisements and flyers distributed to affordable housing sites, senior community centers,
libraries, and other public places as well as new technology-based methods such as the City's News
Splash email newsletter and the city website.
A community meeting/hearing to discuss the housing and community development needs in
Newport Beach was held on February 26, 2015 at the Community Room in the Newport Beach Civic
Center. Participants and staff discussed the CDBG program and attendees were encouraged to

1. Introduction
As a component of the Consolidated Plan process, 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 2019-2020 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.

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.

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.

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 2019-2020 Action Plan, the City made the draft Action Plan available for
public review and comment from March 22, 2019 to April 23, 2019. 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 2019-2020 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, 2019 through June 30, 2020.
The City estimates it will receive $358,444 of CDBG funds from HUD. 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 may 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, as well as a host of State
resources to be made available following the passage of several affordable housing bills in late
2017. 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
DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 33
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/18)
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City does not currently own any publicly owned land or property that may be used to address
the affordable housing needs of the Consolidated Plan.
Discussion
Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG programs, the City expects to utilize
approximately $2.7 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.

Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non -administrative CDBG
funds for program year 2019-2020 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 2019-2020 Action Plan in projects that provide public services to low -
and moderate -income people, prevent homelessness and address special needs populations to
strengthen economic opportunities for the low- and moderate -income residents of Newport
Beach.

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.
Geographic Distribution
Table 12 - Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
For the 2019-2020 program year, the City's investments in Fair Housing Services, Public Services,
and Homelessness Prevention Services 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 people that are homeless or at -risk of becoming homeless.
Discussion
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non -administrative CDBG
funds for program year 2019-2020 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 American Community Survey (ACS) and Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy (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
project construction will take approximately 2 years, with the first phase expected to open in
third-quarter 2019. The California Statewide Community 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.
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 require some form of major
DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 48
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
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 60 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
To expand the supply of affordable housing, the City awarded $1,975,000 of Affordable Housing
Trust Funds to Newport Veterans Housing, LP to acquire and rehabilitate 12 former market rate
rental units. The Cove Apartments was fully occupied as of March 2018 and will continue to be
rented affordably for a period of 55 years, with priority for occupancy directed toward low-
income seniors and veterans.
To preserve affordable housing, the City awarded $800,000 of Affordable Housing Trust Funds to
Seaview Lutheran Plaza for the rehabilitation of 100 existing apartments for senior citizens,
extending the project's affordability period an additional 30 years. On July 26, 2016, the City and
Seaview Lutheran entered into an affordable housing grant agreement for the first $800,000 of
the award for upgrades to existing bathrooms. The design and permits were approved in late
2016, and by the end of 2017, 60 of the 100 units were complete, with the balance of units
completed in March 2018. As a result of this award, the affordability requirements will remain in
place through 2069.
To preserve housing that is affordable to current owner -occupants, the City created a Senior
Housing Assistance Repair Program (SHARP) in 2016, operated in partnership with Habitat for
Humanity Orange County (Habitat OC). Initial program funding of up to $600,000 was granted by
the City Council from the City's Affordable Housing Trust Fund. This two-year program to perform
critical home repairs for lower-income seniors was extended for an additional two years so that
assistance will be available into 2020. To date, nine projects have been approved and five
applications were denied. Of the nine total projects, eight have been completed at a total cost of
$206,596. As of this writing, one application is under contract for rehabilitation and additional
projects are in the application phase. The scope of work for SHARP projects generally includes
some combination of the following repairs: roofing, painting, plumbing, electrical,
structural/accessibility (repairing and modifying hazardous steps and landings), landscaping
(when in violation of City codes), installation of smoke detectors and addressing "hoarding"
conditions. It is anticipated that the City (OASIS Senior Center) and Habitat OC will complete three
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—whether monitored by the City or as
part of a different affordable housing program not sponsored by the City—staff evaluates the
potential use of local Affordable Housing Trust funds to preserve the affordable units, subject to
funding availability.

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 January 2019, OCHA administered
a total of 11,181 housing vouchers throughout the County. The 162 housing vouchers in use in
the City of Newport Beach include:
• 19 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers;
• 19 Vouchers transferred in from other areas;
• 1 Non -elderly Disabled Voucher;
• 4 Continuum of Care Program Permanent Supportive Housing Certificates;
• 2 Family Self -Sufficiency Vouchers;
• 4 Family Unification Program vouchers; and
• 113 Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8).
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
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 2019-2020 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 most recent bi-annual Point -In -Time Homeless Count (PIT Count) data available
from the PIT Count held on January 28, 2017, on any given night in Orange County, approximately
4,792 people are homeless. To address incidences of homelessness that may occur in Newport
Beach and to prevent extremely low-income 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. To address
the needs of those residents addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, the City is providing CDBG funds
to the following activity:
• Second Chance Orange County: More Second Chances for Those in Recovery (5 people)
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 activity:
• Families Forward: Housing Program (215 people)
DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 53
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
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 215 unduplicated people with an array of services beyond housing, including
career services, childcare and a food pantry. Families Forward continues to grow its partnerships
with affordable housing developers throughout Orange County, securing access to affordable
housing units while providing the supportive case management services necessary to ensure a
long-term stable housing outcome for its clients.
Other organizations in the Continuum of Care (CoQ 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 215 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
DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 54
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
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 addressing homelessness a high priority need for the CDBG
program and will support 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.

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 2019-2020 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 2019-2020 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
To expand the supply of affordable housing, the City awarded $1,975,000 of Affordable Housing
Trust Funds to Newport Veterans Housing, LP to acquire and rehabilitate 12 former market rate
rental units. The Cove Apartments was fully occupied as of March 2018 and will continue to be
rented affordably for a period of 55 years, with priority for occupancy directed toward low-
income seniors and veterans.
To preserve affordable housing, the City awarded $800,000 of Affordable Housing Trust Funds to
Seaview Lutheran Plaza for the rehabilitation of 100 existing apartments for senior citizens,
extending the project's affordability period an additional 30 years. On July 26, 2016, the City and
Seaview Lutheran entered into an affordable housing grant agreement for the first $800,000 of
the award for upgrades to existing bathrooms. The design and permits were approved late 2016,
and by the end of 2017, 60 of the 100 units were complete, with the balance of units completed
in March 2018. As a result of this award, the affordability requirements will remain in place
through 2069.
To preserve housing that is affordable to current owner -occupants, the City created a Senior
Housing Assistance Repair Program (SHARP) in 2016, operated in partnership with Habitat for
DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 58
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Humanity Orange County (Habitat OC). Initial program funding of up to $600,000 was granted by
the City Council from the City's Affordable Housing Trust Fund. This two-year program to perform
critical home repairs for lower-income seniors was extended for an additional two years so that
assistance will be available into 2020. To date, nine projects have been approved and five
applications were denied. Of the nine total projects, eight have been completed at a total cost of
$206,596. As of this writing, one application is under contract for rehabilitation and additional
projects are in the application phase. The scope of work for SHARP projects generally includes
some combination of the following repairs: roofing, painting, plumbing, electrical,
structural/accessibility (repairing and modifying hazardous steps and landings), landscaping
(when in violation of City codes), installation of smoke detectors and addressing "hoarding"
conditions. It is anticipated that the City (OASIS Senior Center) and Habitat OC will complete three
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—whether monitored by the City or as
part of a different affordable housing program not sponsored by the City—staff evaluates the
potential use of local Affordable Housing Trust funds to preserve the affordable units, subject to
funding availability.
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
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
DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 59
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
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 Fa4ade 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 CalWORKs, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and
Medi -Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment
assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such
as housing, nutrition and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering
from substance abuse, domestic violence and mental illness.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional delivery system in Newport Beach is high -functioning and collaborative —
particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a
network of capable community-based organizations that are delivering a full range of services to
residents. Affordable housing development and preservation activities will be carried out by the
Planning Division of the Community Development Department in partnership with other
agencies. Public service activities will be carried out by nonprofit organizations to achieve the
Strategic Plan goals. The Planning Division and the 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
DRAFT 2019-2020 Action Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 60
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
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 2019-2020 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.
