EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Overview of Consolidated Plan Process Every year the City of Newport Beach receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The grant money is to primarily benefit the lower income residents of the City in three ways: • By providing decent housing • By providing a suitable living environment • By expanding economic opportunities To ensure that the funds are used to meet the most urgent needs in the community, the City develops a community needs assessment. The needs assessment includes quantitative and statistical research, resident survey results, and input from local non - profits and service agencies. Based on the needs assessment, the City compiles a list of goals and objectives to meet the community's needs in a Strategic Plan. The objectives address housing, homeless, and other community development needs. A summary of the current strategic plan is included in this Plan. Together, the community needs assessment and the Strategic Plan from the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan is developed every five (5) years. One -Year Action Plan for 2006 -2007 Program Year This is the One -Year Action Plan for program year 2006 -2007 and is a one element of the 2005 -2009 Consolidated Plan. It describes how the City will utilize the new HUD grant funds and other available resources to undertake programs and projects that will help the City meet the goals and objectives outlined in its Consolidated Plan. In the 2006 -2007 program year, which starts July 18t, 2006 and ends June 30th , 2007, the City of Newport Beach will receive $373,292 in CDBG Funds. The City will allocate these funds to the following programs: • Fish Harbor Area, Inc. Homeless & Hunger Prevention $11,500 • Fish Harbor Area, Inc. Mobile Meals $14,494 • Human Options Emergency Shelter for Battered Women $5,000 • Mercy House Emmanuel House $5,000 • Serving People In Need Substance Abuse & Rehabilitation Program $ 8,000 • South County Sr. Services Home - Delivered Meal Program • WISEPlace Steps to Independence CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 $7,000 $5,000 PAGE 1 -1 f I 1.

STRATEGIC PLAN 2. STRATEGIC PLAN Overview The following is a summary of the Five Year Strategic Plan and how the activities proposed for the upcoming program year will work toward achieving the goals included in the Strategic Plan. The full version of the Strategic Plan is in the City's 2005 -2009 Consolidated Plan and can be obtained from the City's Planning Department. The strategic goals are divided between Newport Beach program objectives and HUD- specified objectives. The Newport Beach program goals were developed based on the specific needs found within the community. The HUD - specified goals are mandated by the federal government and designed to meet common needs found in communities throughout the country. An activity will appear more than once given that some local and federal goals overlap. All activities proposed for the 2006 program year will strive to serve low- and moderate - income persons. No activities will seek eligibility under the "urgent need" eligibility. Newport Beach Program Objectives Affordable Housing Funding Priorities and Strategies: 1. Increase supply of housing units affordable to moderate - income households through new construction. 2. Maintain existing level of Section 8 housing vouchers and rent - restricted units within the City. 3. Ensure universal access to fair housing choice within the city. 4. Special Needs Funding Priorities and Strategies: 5. Increase accessibility of persons with disabilities to public facilities. 6. Improve supportive services for elderly residents. 7. Increase supportive services for persons suffering from substance abuse 8. Increase supportive services for persons living with HIV /AIDS. 9. Homeless Funding Priorities and Strategies: 10. Preserve the supply of emergency and transitional housing. 11.Improve services for homeless persons and prevent those at -risk of becoming homeless from losing their house. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 2 -1 2. STRATEGIC PLAN 12. Improve services for women and children who are homeless because of domestic violence. Non- Housing Community Development 1. Eliminate blight, blighting influences, and prevent the deterioration of property. 2. Improve health and safety through rehabilitation of community facilities. 3. Preserve community infrastructure in order to provide economic empowerment in targeted neighborhoods. HUD- Specified Objectives 1. Address Obstacles to Meeting Needs 2. Foster and Maintain Affordable Housing 3. Remove Barriers to Affordable Housing 4. Reduce Poverty 5. Develop Institutional Structure 6. Enhance Service Delivery 7. Address Threat of Lead Paint 8. Improve Public Housing CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION. PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 2 -2 2. STRATEGIC PLAN Newport Beach Program Objectives: Housing 1. Increase the supply of newly constructed affordable housing units to moderate- income households As stated in the Newport Beach Housing Element, the City's goal is to preserve and increase housing affordability. The City set a target of adding 120 senior housing units in the Consolidated Plan. This goal will be met with the completion of 120 units of senior housing at the Newport Seniors project at Lower Bayview. The City has provided $1,000,000 in subsidies and waived an additional $250,000 in fees. The Planning Commission, City Council and Coastal Commission have approved the project. The project is under construction and is expected to be completed in 2006 2. Maintain current level of Section 8 Voucher supply Section 8 vouchers are rental assistance payments to owners of private market rate units on behalf of very low- income tenants. This program allows the users to find their own housing which best suits their needs. The City will continue to support this county administered program. 3. Ensure universal access to fair housing The City is committed to ensuring the right to housing for all of its residents. Fair housing activities undertaken this year will be carried out by the Fair Housing Council of Orange County and will include conflict resolution, code enforcement, legal aid, and investigation into discrimination complaints. The City will also partner with other local jurisdictions and the Fair Housing Council of Orange County to update the regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI). The Fair Housing Council provides services above and beyond what is typically considered housing discrimination. in the coming year, the organization will address discrimination in the following areas: • Lending Practices: While data and study has not shown discrimination in lending, efforts have not been proactive. • Insuring Practices: Some insurance companies may be targeting certain zip codes for higher rates of denial or different terms and conditions for insurance coverage. • Outreach and Education: A lack of a standard in the fair housing education system may leave gaps in communities. In addition, some immigrant populations may not be aware of the right to fair housing. • Public Policies /Programs: A lack of coordination among cities in the region in regards to their planning activities may have an adverse effect on fair housing efforts on a regional basis. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 2d 2. STRATEGIC PLAN Newport Beach Program Objectives: Special Needs The City's Consolidated Plan must describe the needs of persons who are not homeless but who require supportive housing. These "special need" populations include elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addiction, persons with HIV /AIDS and their families, and public housing residents. 1. Increase accessibility to public facilities The City will continue to provide funding for ADA Sidewalk Improvements to public facilities throughout the City to ensure accessibility to residents with disabilities. In the upcoming program year, the City will provide $54,476 for such improvements. 2. Improve support services to elderly residents Seniors are the largest and fastest growing "special need" population in Newport Beach. The City will provide support to seniors to enable them to remain independent. In the upcoming program year, the City will provide $14,494 of CDBG funding to FISH Harbor Area, Inc. to administer their Mobile Meals Program and $7,000 to South County Senior Services, Inc, to administer their Home - Delivered Meal Program. Both programs deliver nutritious meals to homebound seniors throughout Newport Beach. This service allows seniors who may otherwise become institutionalized remain in their homes and maintain their self- sufficiency. 3. Improve support services to those with substance addictions Persons suffering from substance addictions are a target population of the City's Anti - Poverty Strategy. Once a person has begun the recovery process, there is a higher chance they will become self- sufficient. In the upcoming program year, the City will continue to support the efforts of Serving People In Need (SPIN) by funding their Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program with $8,000 of CDBG funding. This program provides access to recovery programs to homeless and low- income individuals whom otherwise could not afford such services. The program includes one month of room and board, counseling, and supplemental services focused on employment, medical assistance, and legal assistance. 4. Improve support services to HIV /AIDS population. In the 2006 -2007 program year, the City will provide $5,000 of CDBG funds to Emmanuel House, a transitional housing program for adults living with HIV or AIDS, the only project of its kind in Orange County. Mercy House administers the project. Funds will be used to provide staff salaries and program supplies. The program expects to assist 40 clients in Orange County. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 2 -4 2. STRATEGIC PLAN Newport Beach Program Objectives: Homeless 1. Preserve the supply of emergency and transitional housing While no emergency shelter or transitional housing facilities are located within Newport Beach, the provision of shelter is a priority for the City. The City will work with agencies in surrounding areas address homelessness. In FY 2006 -2007 the City will fund the following activities to meet this goal: • Human Options Emergency Shelter for Battered Women $5,000 • Mercy House Emmanuel House $5,000 • Serving People In Need Substance Abuse Rehabilitation $8,000 • WISE Place Steps to Independence $5,000 2. Assist homeless and prevent those "at- risk" of becoming homeless Part of the City's Anti - Poverty Strategy is to assist those "at- risk" of losing their self - sufficiency and becoming more dependent on public services. The City will fund the following projects in FY 2006 -2007 to meet this goal: • FISH Harbor Homeless and Hunger Prevention $11,500 • Human Options Emergency Shelter for Battered Women $5,000 • Serving People In Need Substance Abuse Recovery Program $8,000 • WISE Place Steps to Independence $5,000 3. Assist homeless battered women and children Homelessness may not be as visible in Newport Beach as in surrounding communities, but the City still views homelessness as an important issue that is a high priority to be addressed. The City will continue to work with its partner agencies within the Orange County Continuum of Care to best meet the needs of homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness. In the 2006 -2007 program year, the City has recommended funding for the following activities to help address the public service needs of homeless persons in and around Newport Beach: • Human Options Emergency Shelters for Battered Women $5,000 • WISE Place Steps to Independence $5,000 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 25 2. STRATEGIC PLAN Newport Beach Program Objectives: Community Development 1. Eliminate blight, blighting influences, and prevent the deterioration of property. The City is nearing completion of the work detailed in the Balboa Village Pedestrian and Streetscape Improvement Plan. CDBG funds were used to secure a Section 108 loan, which was used in conjunction with City parking funds to fund the improvements. The City expects the project to stimulate private economic investment in the area. In other areas, the City will rely on code enforcement activities to identify signs of deterioration in its early stages. • City of Newport Beach 108 Loan Repayment $188,164 2. improve health and safety through rehabilitation of community facilities. The City will continue to provide funding for ADA Improvements to public facilities throughout the City to ensure accessibility to residents with disabilities. In addition, the City will fund the Code Enforcement program to ensure the health and safety of it residents. City staff will conduct housing inspections in designated low- and moderate- income areas of the City. • City of Newport Beach ADA Sidewalk Improvements .$54,476 3. Preserve community infrastructure to provide economic empowerment in targeted neighborhoods In FY 2006 -2007, the City will use CDBG to repay the loan used for the Balboa improvements, fund code enforcement officers to identify deterioration in its early stages, and fund programs that help persons gain a higher degree of self- sufficiency. • City of Newport Beach 108 Loan Repayment $188,164 • Fish Harbor Area, Inc. Homeless & Hunger Prevention $11,500 • Serving People In Need Substance Abuse Rehabilitation $8,000 • WISEPlace Steps to Independence $5,000 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 2.6 2. STRATEGIC PLAN HUD- Specified Objectives 1. Address Obstacles to Meeting Needs The development process in housing and community development is lengthy and complex. A wide range of obstacles often hampers it. HUD asks local governments to strategize a plan to mitigate these obstacles. The City has identified the lack of developable sites, high land costs and limited funding as obstacles to affordable housing. Other obstacles in non - housing community development include NIMBY- ism (Not in My Backyard), lack of organizational capacity, and lack of available funding. In response, the City has adopted policies to overcome some of these obstacles. In regard to affordable housing, the City encourages affordable housing production by providing density bonuses to interested developers and through the inclusionary zoning requirements. The City will work closely with affordable housing developers to expedite the permitting process in order to cut costs. In regard to non - housing obstacles, the City will facilitate community involvement to increase understanding of community needs and the possible solutions to meet those needs. The City will maintain close partnerships with service providers and other community development professionals to identify and correct issues such as lack of capacity and resources. 2. Foster and Maintain Affordable Housing As stated above, the City has identified the lack of developable sites, high land costs and limited funding as obstacles to producing affordable housing. However, within the Newport Beach Sphere of Influence, there may be additional options for future residential development. Bay Knolls and Santa Ana Heights are scheduled for annexation within the next four years. Once, annexed, the City will explore opportunities for increasing the City's affordable housing supply in these areas. The City continues to monitor and enforce affordability covenants on affordable housing projects throughout the City. This includes not only housing units developed with federal funds, but also all units with an affordability covenant in place. 13. Remove Barriers to Affordable Housing J The City will continue to implement the following procedures and programs • Monitor all regulations, ordinances, departmental processing procedures, and residential development fees to ensure these requirements do not excessively constrain affordable residential development. • Continue to offer density bonus incentives for the development of affordable housing pursuant to state density bonus requirements and the City's General Plan Housing Element. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 2 -7 2. STRATEGIC PLAN • Partner with the Fair Housing Council of Orange County to provide tenant and landlord counseling to provide fair housing opportunities for Newport Beach residents. 4. Reduce Poverty Almost all of the City's funded programs are aimed at helping a family or individual increase or maintain their self- sufficiency. For example, the FISH Harbor Areas' Mobile Meals Project supports self - sufficiency of seniors and persons with disabilities. The Steps to Independence Program administered by WISEPlace provides a comprehensive program with the end goal of self- sufficiency, including transitional shelter, food, clothing, counseling, and employment assistance to homeless women without children. The program handles a variety of clientele, including victims of domestic violence, emancipated youth, seniors, and women with developmental disabilities In the 2006 -2007 program year, the City will fund the following activities that will directly contribute to reduction of poverty levels in Newport Beach: • FISH Harbor • Fish Harbor Homeless Prevention Mobile Meals • Human Options Emergency Shelter for Battered Women • SPIN Substance Abuse Rehabilitation • South County Sr. Serv. Inc Home Delivered Meals • WISE Place Steps to Independence $11,500 $14,494 $5,000 $8,000 $7,000 $5,000 5. Develop Institutional Structure The City relies heavily on its community partners in order to provide needed services to area residents. Unfortunately, the City receives a relatively small allocation of federal funds, of which only 15 percent can be provided to social service organizations for the provision of services. City staff will work with organizations that do not receive federal funds and provide a Certification of Consistency if the proposed project reflects the goals and objectives of the City's adopted Consolidated Plan. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 2 -6 2. STRATEGIC PLAN 6. Enhance Service Delivery (including Monitoring) The City continues to refine its internal procedures and build its relationships with partner agencies in order to provide the highest level of service to the targeted populations. The City will also make efforts to ensure a high level of service from its subrecipients. These efforts start at the beginning of the program year with a technical assistance meeting that covers program requirements, such as record keeping, invoicing, and procurement. Throughout the program year, the City will review payment requests and progress reports to ensure program compliance and provide technical assistance when needed. It is the City's goal to provide on -site monitoring to every subrecipient at least once during the program year. The goal of the monitoring is to ensure program compliance and improve the level of service. In regard to capital expenditures, the City will ensure that procurements and project administration comply with all federal, state, and local regulations, including environmental review, prevailing wage requirements, and Section 3 requirements. 7. Address Threat of Lead -Based Paint Most cities that administer a residential rehabilitation program can make great strides toward reducing the threat of lead -based paint in its housing stock. However, the City does have a residential rehabilitation program so it must find other ways to address lead -based paint hazards. In the upcoming year the City will take the following actions: • Work with agencies in a collaborative effort to secure funding and provide low -cost training to testing and abatement contractors and workers. • Monitor the lead- poisoning data maintained by the Orange County Department of Health Services. • Educate residents on the health hazards of lead -based paint through the use of brochures and encourage screening children for elevated blood -lead levels. 8. Improve Public Housing As stated in the fourth local housing goal in the above section, the City will assist Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) to maximize the use of Section 8 funds and other resources within Newport Beach. 'CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 2.9 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 Chapter 3. AVAILABLE RESOURCES 3. AVAILABLE RESOURCES Federal Resources The City received a total of $373,292 in CDBG funds for the 2006 -2007 program year. This year there are no carry over funds from prior years. In total, the City has $373,292 for the 2006 -2007 program year. • 2006 CDBG Entitlement $373,292 • Reprogrammed CDBG $0 • CDBG Program Income $0 • All other forms of CDBG $0 In addition, Section 8 Housing Vouchers and certificates will be available to Newport Beach residents through the Orange County Housing Authority. State and Local Resources The City will continue to provide support, such as subsidies, general funds and fee waivers, to activities that help meet the objectives specified in the Strategic Plan. Other Resources It is difficult to estimate the amount of other resources that are available for affordable housing and community development projects in Newport Beach. Over the next program year, the City may pursue the following available funding sources: • Workforce Housing Grant •. BEGIN Funds • California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA) Multi- Family Rental Housing Program • CHFA Home Mortgage Purchase Program • California Housing Rehabilitation Program -Owner Component • Low Income Housing Tax Credits • Local .Housing Trust Fund Program • Tax Exempt Housing Revenue Bond CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 PAGE 3 -1 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2006 Chapter 4. DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES 4. DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES Distribution among Priority Needs The funding available under the Consolidated Plan may be used to meet a wide variety of needs. The City established local priority needs based on the housing market analysis and other research conducted as part of the 2005 -09 Consolidated Plan. The goals listed in the Strategic Plan section of this document are the result of that research. The City gives priority to projects and programs that will pursue the goals listed in the strategic plan. Geographic Distribution All CDBG- funded public service activities will be available to Newport Beach residents citywide based on income and other eligibility criteria. These activities cater specifically to low- and moderate - income residents or to groups presumed to be of low and moderate income instead of residents in a specific area. Public Facility improvements and Code Enforcement activities will be targeted to the Balboa Peninsula area. Projects that serve an identified geographic area, such as parks, facilities, community centers and street improvements, are eligible for CDBG funding based on the percentage of low and moderate - income residents living in the service area. In most communities, the threshold is 51 percent. However, some communities, such as Newport Beach, have no or very few areas that meet this threshold. For these grantees, the CDBG law authorizes an alternate method to determine a lower threshold. The Balboa Peninsula is one of the few areas in Newport Beach that is eligible for CDBG assistance under this alternate calculation of eligibility. Please refer to the map on the following page for more details on the areas that will benefit from Code Enforcement and the Public Facilities improvements.
