TITLE: Community Development Block Grant - 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan, 2015 -2016
Action Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan Amendment
ABSTRACT:
The Five -Year Consolidated Plan is part of the City's grant application to the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The plan establishes
a framework of housing and community development priorities for Newport Beach, aids in
identifying projects and programs that benefit low- and moderate - income residents. The City anticipates
receiving approximately $1.8 million of CDBG funds for use between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2020.
The One -Year Action Plan allocates funding to specific programs and projects for a given year. The Action
Plan will appropriate approximately $449,937 of CDBG funds to specific programs and projects for the
upcoming 2015 -2016 fiscal year.
The Citizen Participation Plan outlines how the public may participate in the process of developing the
Consolidated Plan, Action Plans, amendments to these plans, and the annual end -of -year assessment
report to HUD called the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The Citizen
Participation Plan amendment is necessary to reflect procedural changes since the plan was last updated
in 2010.

FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund related to this item. This item provides for City Council
approval of the expenditure of $449,937 in CDBG funds for the 2015 -2016 program year.
DISCUSSION:
Program Description
The CDBG Program provides annual grants on a formula basis 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 1 of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974. CDBG funds may be used for a wide variety of programs, services
and facilities improvements. This means funding for a broad array of community needs, including but not
limited to:
• Community and senior services
• Fair housing enforcement and landlord /tenant mediation
• Homeless prevention and domestic violence programs
• Commercial fagade improvements
• Street and sewer improvements
• Disabled (ADA) accessibility improvements
• Housing programs
• Section 108 loan payments
According to CDBG regulations, the City may spend up to 20 percent of the annual grant allocation of funds
for program administration and 15 percent for community services such as senior meal delivery, domestic
violence counseling or homeless prevention programs. The remaining funds may be used for projects such
as commercial fagade improvements, street and sidewalk improvements, disabled accessibility
improvements, Section 108 loan payments, and /or rehabilitation of existing park facilities.
City of Newport Beach Past Program Activities
The City has participated in the CDBG Program since July 1, 1989, receiving approximately $11.7 million
during this period with annual allocations ranging from a high of $534,000 in 1995 to $323,777 in 2011. The
2015 grant allocation is $361,557.
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 tenants, realtors, apartment owners and managers, lending institutions, and other interested
parties in Newport Beach. These services have been provided free of cost to Newport Beach residents by
the Fair Housing Foundation since 2011.
The Section 108 Program allows grantees of the CDBG Program to borrow Federally - guaranteed funds for
community development purposes up to five times the amount of their annual CDBG grants by pledging to
15 -2
repay the loan with future CDBG grants. The loan program enables grantees to undertake substantially
larger community development projects than CDBG annual grants would support. In 2002, the City
received a $2,400,000 loan to partially fund the enhanced streetscape in Balboa Village. The current loan
will be fully paid in 2023, with future annual grants.
The Draft 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan, Draft 2015 -2016 Action Plan and Draft Citizen Participation Plan
In order to be eligible for CDBG grants, the City must submit a Five -Year Consolidated Plan and One -Year
Action Plan at least 45 days prior to the beginning of the program year (Attachment CC2). The City
operates on a fiscal year from July 1 st through June 30th. The purpose of the two plans are as follows:
The Consolidated Plan examines housing and community development needs in Newport Beach and
outlines the City's priorities, objectives and strategies for the investment of CDBG funds to address these
needs over the next five years.
The Action Plan describes the rationale behind specific allocations for the upcoming fiscal year and details
how the City's use of CDBG funds addresses the priorities in the Consolidated Plan. Staffs
recommendations for the expenditure of the funding available for the next fiscal year is provided below.
The City's adopted Citizen Participation Plan was last updated in 2010, and with every new Five Year
Consolidated Plan, the City reviews the plan and makes necessary changes. The proposed amendments
are mostly minor reflecting organization changes; however, the plan was missing an anti - displacement and
relocation plan required by HUD. In summary, Federal law requires the City to minimize the burden placed
on low- and moderate - income tenants, property owners, and business owners who must move either
temporarily or permanently as the result of a project funded in whole or in part by the CDBG program.
Community Outreach
Staff conducted a community meeting on February 26, 2015 and made community surveys available to
identify the community's priorities for the CDBG program. Based on this outreach and data evaluated in the
preparation of the Draft 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan, the following priorities are established within the
Draft 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan that will serve as the basis for CDBG program funding decisions over
the next five years:
• Ensure equal access to housing opportunities;
• Provide public services for low- income residents;
• Provide public services for residents with special needs;
• Prevent and eliminate homelessness;
• Strengthen economic opportunity; and
• Improve public facilities and infrastructure.
On April 10, 2015, staff published a notice in the Daily Pilot informing the general public that the City had
prepared the Draft 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan, Draft 2015 -2016 Action Plan, and Draft Citizen
Participation Plan Amendment and that such would be available for review and comment until May 12,
2015. The public was provided an opportunity to provide oral and /or written comments on all three draft
plans and the proposed activities for funding in the upcoming fiscal year. To date, no public comments
have been received. 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. Tonight's public
hearing fulfills the requirements for the public hearing.
Proposed 2015 -2016 CDBG Fund Expenditures
The Draft Action Plan includes the funding recommendations for next year's funds. The 2015 grant
allocation is $361,557, and the City also has an additional $88,380 of unspent CDBG funding available for
next year for a total of $449,937.
15 -3
Public Service Grants:
On January 24, 2015, 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
City also made the application available on the City's website and mailed notices to agencies who received
funds in the current Fiscal Year and other agencies who had expressed interest.
In response to the NOFA, three nonprofit organizations submitted applications for CDBG public service
grants requesting a total of $35,000. In consideration of HUD limitations on the use of CDBG funds for
Public Service (15 percent of the grant) as well as the level of funding available, the funding requested,
past performance and proposed accomplishments, anticipated benefit to Newport Beach residents, and
City priorities, staff recommends Public Service program /project funding as follows:
Organization Requested Recommended
Age Well Senior Services: Home Delivered Meals $20,000 $25,000
Families Forward: Housing Program $10,000 $15,000
Human Options: Community Domestic Violence Services $5,000 $5.000
Total $45,000
Program Administration:
The City contracts with a consultant to administer the City's CDBG program. Additionally, the consultant
monitors existing affordable housing agreements for compliance. Lastly, funds allocated to
administration support fair housing services provided by the Fair Housing Foundation to meet the City's
obligation to affirmatively further fair housing choice. Staff recommends that 20 percent of the grant be
allocated to administrative activities, which is consistent with HUD guidelines. The estimated total is
$60,311.
Capital Improvements and Section 108 Loan Repayment:
Staff is recommending that $125,320 be allocated to the Balboa Village Fagade Improvement Program. On
April 14, 2015, Council approved the fagade improvement program and allocated $98,500 from the Balboa
Parking Management District Fund. The combination of the two funding sources will result in $223,820
being available for fagade improvements in Balboa Village.
Finally as noted above, since 2003 the City has allocated an annual payment to the repayment of its
Section 108 loan, which is $207,306 for the next program year. This allocation is based on the current
amortization schedule and will change with the refinancing of the loan approved by Council on April 28,
2015.
Summary
In conclusion, the Council's adoption of the three plans is necessary in order for the City to be eligible for
CDBG grant funds. Staff is recommending that the $449,937 in available CDBG grant funds be allocated
as follows:
CDBG Program Administration
$60,311
Fair Housing Foundation: Fair Housing Services
$12,000
Age Well Senior Services: Home Delivered Meals
$25,000
Families Forward: Housing Program
$15,000
Human Options: Community Domestic Violence Services
$5,000
Balboa Village Commercial Fagade Improvement Program
$125,320
Section 108 Loan Repayment
$207,306
Total: $449,937

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 the approval of the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan and Citizen
Participation Plan Amendment are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ")
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect
physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section
15378)of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
Staff also recommends the City Council finds approval of the 2015 -2016 Action Plan 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 Action Plan includes funding for a commercial fagade
improvement program within Balboa Village. The program will fund cosmetic enhancements of existing
buildings (e.g. minor repair to exterior materials, paint, awnings, window and door replacement, signs, etc.)
and these minor improvements will involve negligible or no expansion of any existing buildings.
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 10, 2015. 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
ES -05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Newport Beach has prepared the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan as a requirement to
receive Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The Consolidated Plan
provides the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with a comprehensive
assessment of the City's housing and community development needs and outlines the City's
priorities, objectives and strategies for the investment of CDBG funds to address these needs
over the next five years, beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2020.
The City receives CDBG funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, awards
grants to nonprofit, for - profit or public organizations for programs and projects in furtherance
of this Plan. The CDBG program generally provide for a range of eligible activities for the
benefit of low- and moderate - income Newport Beach residents, as discussed below.
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).

2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment
Overview
The priority needs and goals identified in the Plan needs assessment were identified based on
analysis of information including the results of the City's 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan Needs
Assessment Survey and housing and community development data elements required by HUD
in the online Consolidated Plan system (the eCon Planning Suite) from the 2007 -2011 American
Community Survey (ACS) 5 -Year Estimates and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability
Strategy (CHAS) covering the same time period. Additional sources of information used to
identify needs and establish priorities were obtained through consultation with local nonprofit
agencies involved in the development of affordable housing and the delivery of public services
to children, families, elderly persons and persons with special needs throughout the
community.
In consideration of community input and available data, the six priority needs listed below are
established as part of this Plan:
• Ensure equal access to housing opportunities
• Provide public services for low- income residents
• Provide public services for residents with special needs
• Prevent and eliminate homelessness
• Strengthen Economic Opportunity
• Improve public facilities and infrastructure

Consistent with HUD's national goals for the CDBG program to provide decent housing
opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for
low- and moderate - income residents, the priority needs listed above will be addressed over the
next five years through the implementation of CDBG funded activities aligned with the
following six measurable Strategic Plan goals:

While the City and local partners were able to successfully implement the activities listed above
during the last five (5) years, there were insufficient resources to fully address the level of need
identified in the last Consolidated Plan. The amount of CDBG funds that have been allocated to
the City have diminished every year curtailing the City's ability to implement activities that

4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
Subsequent to the enactment of the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to
Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009, HUD revised the Consolidated Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91
to emphasize the importance of citizen participation and consultation in the development of
the Consolidated Plan. HUD strengthened the consultation process with requirements for
consultation with the CoC, Public Housing Authorities (PHA), business leaders, civic leaders and
public or private agencies that address housing, health, social service, victim services,
employment, or education needs of low- income individuals and families, homeless individuals
and families, youth and /or other persons with special needs. Together with the analytic
capabilities of the eCon Plan Suite, these requirements created the conditions necessary to
implement a collaborative, data - driven and place -based planning process that includes a robust
level of citizen participation and consultation.
In accordance with the City's Citizen Participation Plan, residents and stakeholders were able to
participate in the development of the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan through surveys,
community meetings and public hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low -
and moderate - income persons, particularly those living in areas where HUD funds are proposed
to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate - income neighborhoods.
Efforts were made to encourage the participation of minorities and non - English speaking
persons, as well as persons with disabilities. The consultation process included 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.
5. Summary of public comments

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
To gather the greatest breadth and depth of information, the City consulted with a wide variety
of agencies, groups and organizations concerning the housing, community and economic
development needs of the community. Each of the agencies, groups or organizations consulted
is represented below. The input received from these consultation partners helped establish and
inform the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan. Specific comments received
from these organizations are included as Appendix A.
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
strengthen relationships and alignment among these organizations in the implementation of
the NOFA process for CDBG funds and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients of
CDBG funds each year.

OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
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 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.
Coordination to address homelessness — including chronically homeless individuals and
families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth — is guided by the CoC
and its leading organizations including 2 -1 -1 Orange County and Orange County Community
Services. All service providers within the CoC have the ability to refer people with varying needs
to the appropriate service provider(s) in their area.

OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
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
The Orange County CoC consults with jurisdictions receiving Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
funds on an ongoing basis. A collaborative was formed and quarterly meetings are held with
representatives of the ESG jurisdictions and the CoC. During the meetings funding priorities are
determined which are consistent with the Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness and the
Consolidated Plans of ESG jurisdictions. An evaluation panel is selected whose primary
responsibility is to determine the agencies to receive funding. In Orange County, ESG funds are
directed toward emergency shelter and rapid- rehousing programs. Orange County also utilizes
its CDBG funding for emergency shelter rehabilitation and homeless services to the extent that
CDBG public service resources are available.
The Orange County CoC's performance standards and outcome evaluation methodology is
based on data collected from HMIS and Annual Performance Reports (APRs), including data
such as employment income, access to mainstream resources, transition to permanent housing,
remaining in permanent housing, leveraging, spending, HMIS data quality, participation in PIT
Counts and the Homeless Inventory County (HIC). These data elements are reviewed annually
for the purposes of ranking service providers. In recent years, the Orange County CoC began the
process of reviewing additional performance criteria gathered from HMIS including, average
length of stay, rate of permanent housing exits, rate of returns, net exits to permanent housing,
rate of net exits and project budgets through a Performance Improvement Calculator. This
information provides the CoC the extent to which each project has resulted in rapid return to
permanent housing and the cost of programs. The Orange County CoC takes into account the
severity of barriers. High barrier households are placed in to permanent supportive housing and
lower barrier households are rapidly returned to permanent housing. The Orange County CoC
will continue to use the Performance Improvement Calculator and review information quarterly
provided through HMIS and budget data.
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.

Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any

(91.215(1))
To enhance coordination among the CoC, public and assisted housing providers and private and
governmental health, mental health and service agencies, the City invited each of these entities
to provide input on the needs of the community in the development of this Consolidated Plan.
The City monitors CoC policy making to ensure that local efforts correspond to changes in the
regional approach to addressing the needs of homeless and low- income people. Further, the
Planning Division works with subrecipients of CDBG funds to ensure a coordinated effort among
service agencies in the region to address the needs of Newport Beach residents, including but
not limited to chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and
their families, unaccompanied youth, and persons who were recently homeless but now live in
permanent housing. To promote economic opportunities for low- income residents, the City
coordinates with subrecipient social service agencies, businesses and housing developers to
ensure that where there are job opportunities for low- income people in connection with HUD -
assisted projects, information is disseminated through appropriate channels consistent with the
objectives of Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1968.

homeless special needs and non - housing community development needs. The housing needs
assessment section evaluates household income, tenure (renter or owner), housing cost as a
function of household income, disproportionate need amongst racial and ethnic groups and
public housing needs. The homeless needs assessment examines the sheltered and unsheltered
homeless population in Orange County to inform the City's strategy to address homelessness
during the next five years. The non - homeless special needs assessment section evaluates the
needs of people who are not homeless but due to various reasons are in need of services
including but not limited to elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled,
physically disabled, persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV /AIDS,
victims of human trafficking, Veterans with Post - Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and victims
of domestic violence. The non - housing community development needs assessment section
discusses the need for public facilities, public infrastructure improvements and public services
to benefit low- and moderate- income residents.
Methodology
To assess community needs, the City examined data, held community meetings, conducted a
Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey and consulted with local stakeholders. The Needs
Assessment primarily relies on the following sources of data:
• American Community Survey (2007 -20115 -year estimates)
• Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (2007- 20115 -year estimates)
• ESRI Economic Data
• 2013 Point -In -Time Homeless Count
Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey for Residents and Stakeholders
Newport Beach residents and program stakeholders had the opportunity to respond to the
2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey to rate the need in Newport Beach for
housing facilities, housing services, community services, services for special needs populations,
neighborhood services, community facilities, infrastructure and business and jobs services. The
results of the 57 Newport Beach residents who responded to the survey are represented in
Figures 1 -8 below.

NA -10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
According to ACS data in Table 6, the City's population grew by 13 percent during the period
between the year 2000 and 2011, increasing in number from 74,500 to 84,417people. During
this time period, the number of households increased by 9 percent from 35,041 to 38,048 and
the median household income increased from $83,455 to $108,946. The City of Newport Beach
includes 13,115 households, or 34 percent of all households, that earn less than 100 percent of
Area Median Income (AMI) and 10,350 or 27 percent of all households earn less than 80
percent of AMI.
Table 7 presents the number of different household types in the City for different levels of
income. Small family households consist of 2 -4 family members, while large family households
have more than 5 persons per household. The income levels are divided by different AMI levels
corresponding with HUD income definitions as follows:
• 0 -30% AMI: extremely low-income— 10 percent of all households;
• 30 -50% AMI: low-income— 7 percent of all households;
• 50 -80% AMI: moderate - income —10 percent of all households; and
• 80- 100 %AMI: medium - income -7 percent of all households.
The most common household type in Newport Beach is small family households, representing
32.3 percent of all households in the City. Nineteen (19) percent of small family households and
large family households earn less than 80 percent of AMI, indicating that Newport Beach
households are similarly situated economically regardless of size. Similarly, 21 percent of the
households with one or more children 6 years old or younger and households containing at
least one person age 62 -74 years of age earn less than 80 percent of AMI. However, the need to
preserve affordable housing becomes more critical for 1,180 households with at least one
person over the age of 62 earning less than 80 percent of AMI, representing 9.3 percent of all
households with senior citizens.
Tables 8 and 9 indicate that 6,770 of the City's 38,048 households earning less than 100 percent
of AMI experience at least one housing problem. HUD defines four (4) different housing
problems as:
1. Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or
stove, or a refrigerator
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 30
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
2. Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush
toilet and a bathtub or shower
3. Overcrowding / severe overcrowding: A household is considered to be overcrowded if
there are more than 1.01 people per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls,
or half- rooms. A household is considered severely overcrowded if there are more than
1.5 people per room.
4. Cost burden / severe cost burden: A household is considered cost burdened if the
household pays more than 30% of its total gross income for housing costs. A household
is considered severely cost burdened if the household pays more than 50% of its total
income for housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus
utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities.
Evaluation of Tables 8 and 9 indicates that for households earning 0 -100% of AMI, the highest
priority housing needs include cost burden, severe cost burden. Table 12 shows that a low
percentage (1.53 percent) of Newport Beach's households earning less than 100 percent of AMI
is overcrowded.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
According to ACS data, there are 13,089 single person households in the City, accounting for 34
percent of the City's households. Of the single person households, 5,555 (42 percent) are
homeowners and 7,534 (58 percent) are renters. According to Table 10, 3,290 households
categorized as "other" experienced a cost burden. It can be said that most of these "other'
households are considered single person households. In addition, according to Table 11, 2,405
households categorized as "other' experienced a severe cost burden.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or
victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
The State of California Department of Justice maintains statistics on domestic violence
statewide by jurisdiction. In 2013, the Newport Beach Police Department responded to a total
of 175 calls related to domestic violence. Of these calls:
• 164 of these domestic incidents did not involve a weapon
• 11 calls involved a weapon
Therefore, there were at least 175 households during the period of a year who were in need of
some type of domestic violence services. In households were physical violence occurred, it is
possible that at least one member of the household will need to relocate within the next five
years to escape recurring violence. If 75 percent need to move, approximately 131 individuals
— possibly with minor children — may require temporary housing assistance.
The form of assistance needed is twofold. First, the City recognizes that it is crucial to prioritize
the creation of additional rental housing opportunities for low- and moderate- income
households in general because Orange County is a "high -cost area" as defined by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development in the HUD Mortgagee Letter dated July 7,
2014. Second, it is important to ensure that both new and existing affordable housing
opportunities are accessible to special needs populations such as victims of domestic violence,
persons with disabilities, single heads of household, seniors and transition age youth. To
address special needs populations, the City will also prioritize the provision of public services to
remove barriers to accessing affordable housing.

households categorized as "other' experienced a severe cost burden.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or
victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
The State of California Department of Justice maintains statistics on domestic violence
statewide by jurisdiction. In 2013, the Newport Beach Police Department responded to a total
of 175 calls related to domestic violence. Of these calls:
• 164 of these domestic incidents did not involve a weapon
• 11 calls involved a weapon
Therefore, there were at least 175 households during the period of a year who were in need of
some type of domestic violence services. In households were physical violence occurred, it is
possible that at least one member of the household will need to relocate within the next five
years to escape recurring violence. If 75 percent need to move, approximately 131 individuals
— possibly with minor children — may require temporary housing assistance.
The form of assistance needed is twofold. First, the City recognizes that it is crucial to prioritize
the creation of additional rental housing opportunities for low- and moderate- income
households in general because Orange County is a "high -cost area" as defined by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development in the HUD Mortgagee Letter dated July 7,
2014. Second, it is important to ensure that both new and existing affordable housing
opportunities are accessible to special needs populations such as victims of domestic violence,
persons with disabilities, single heads of household, seniors and transition age youth. To
address special needs populations, the City will also prioritize the provision of public services to
remove barriers to accessing affordable housing.

What are the most common housing problems?
The most common housing problem in the City is cost burden, which affects 20 percent of low -
and moderate - income households earning less than 80 percent of AMI, including 5,025 renter
households and 2,765 owner households who pay more than 30 percent of their monthly gross
income for housing costs. Within this group of cost burdened households, 5,805 are severely
cost burdened households paying more than 50 percent of their monthly gross income for
housing costs, including 3,580 renter households and 2,225 owner households.
The percentages of other housing problems, including overcrowding and substandard housing
lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, are insignificant. Table 12 indicates that
overcrowding and severe overcrowding affects 253 low- and moderate - income Newport Beach
households. Renter households make up 78 percent of the low- and moderate- income
households who have more than 1.01 people per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers,
halls, or half- rooms.
Are any populations /household types more affected than others by these problems?
According to Table 10, of the 7,790 low- and moderate - income households experiencing a cost
burden, the two most affected groups include 2,820 "other" renter households and 1,545
elderly owner households. Large related households with five or more people are not affected
by cost burden to the same extent as small family households.
According to Table 12, the majority of the low- and moderate - income households impacted by
overcrowded housing conditions are single family renter households who comprise 138 or 55
percent of the 253 total households affected by this housing problem.
Describe the characteristics and needs of Low- income individuals and families with children
(especially extremely low- income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of
either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the
needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re- housing
assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance
The leading indicators of risk for homelessness among extremely low- income individuals and
families with children who are currently housed include housing cost burden and severe
housing cost burden.
Tables 10 and 11 indicate the number of currently housed households with housing cost
burdens more than 30 percent and 50 percent, respectively, by household type, tenancy, and
household income. Based on the data in Table 10, 7,790 (75 percent) of households earning 0-
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 39
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
80 percent of AMI in the City experience a cost burden. Of these households, 5,025 (65 percent)
are renters and 2,765 (35 percent) are owners. The 3,320 extremely low- and low- income
renters with housing cost burdens are the most at risk of homelessness.
According to Table 7, 525 (5 percent) of the 10,350 households earning less than 80 percent of
AMI have one or more children 6 years old or younger, with most of these households earning
between 50 and 80 percent of AMI.
If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at -risk population(s), it should also include a
description of the operational definition of the at -risk group and the methodology used to
generate the estimates:
The assessment of at -risk populations is based on ACS and CHAS data in the Consolidated Plan
using HUD definitions for household types and housing problems.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an
increased risk of homelessness
According to Table 11, there are 2,945 renter households who earn less than 50 percent of AMI
that are severely cost burdened paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs.
Of these 2,945 households:
• 465 are small related households with four or fewer members
• 55 are large related households with five or more members
• 785 are elderly households with one or more members over the age of 62
• 1,640 are other person households
These extremely low- and low- income households are considered the most at risk of becoming
homeless.
Discussion
Based on evaluation of ACS and CHAS data in Tables 6 -12 above, the highest priority housing
need exists for the development of additional rental housing units affordable to low- and
moderate - income households. According to Table 10, 7,790 of the households earning 0 -80
percent of AMI are cost burdened households — meaning those households who pay more
than 30 percent of their income for housing costs. According to Table 11, 5,805 of the cost
burdened households are actually severely cost burdened households — meaning that they pay
more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs. Of the 5,805 severely cost burdened
households, 3,580 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 2,945
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 40
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming
homeless.
In addressing this priority need through the implementation of an affordable rental housing
development goal in the Strategic Plan, assistance should be directed to the greatest extent
feasible toward the development of units affordable to the 2,945 severely cost burdened renter
households who earn less than 50 percent of AM].
The development of additional affordable rental housing will also address overcrowding — the
second most prevalent housing problem — by increasing the supply of housing units that are
appropriately sized to accommodate small families and single person households.

NA -15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems — 91.205 (b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in
comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction
HUD requires all grantees to compare and assess the need for housing for any racial or ethnic
group present in the community. A disproportionately greater need exists when the members
of racial or ethnic group at an income level experiences housing problems at a greater rate (10
percent or more) than the income level as a whole. For example, when evaluating 0 -30 percent
of AMI households, if 50 percent of the households experience a housing problem, but 60
percent or more of a particular racial or ethnic group of households experience housing
problems, that racial or ethnic group has a disproportionately greater need.
The housing problems identified in Tables 14 -17 below are defined as:
1. Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or
stove, or a refrigerator
2. Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush
toilet and a bathtub or shower
3. Overcrowding: A household is considered to be overcrowded if there are more than
1.01 people per room.
4. Cost burden: A household is considered cost burdened if the household pays more than
30% of its total gross income for housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent
paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payment,
taxes, insurance, and utilities.

Introduction
Public housing and other assisted housing programs are part of the County's efforts to address
the affordable housing needs of low- and moderate- income families in Newport Beach. The
Orange County Department of Housing and Community Services, acting as the Orange County
Housing Authority (OCHA), oversees public housing programs for participating jurisdictions,
including Newport Beach.
As a standard performing housing authority, OCHA provides affordable housing for low- income
families, seniors and disabled persons. OCHA administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
Program (Section 8), which provides rental assistance in all unincorporated areas of the County
and in 34 participating cities.
The mission of OCHA is "to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing conditions for families
with low- income, very -low income, and extremely low- income and to manage resources
efficiently. OCHA promotes personal, economic and social upward mobility to provide families
the opportunity to make the transition from subsidized to non - subsidized housing."

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants
on the waiting list for accessible units:
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability
in any program or activity that is conducted by federal agencies or that receives financial
assistance from a federal agency. A housing provider may not deny or refuse to sell or rent to a
person with a disability and may not impose application or qualification criteria, rental fees or
sales prices and rental or sales terms or conditions that are different than those required of or
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 60
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
provided to persons who are not disabled. Further, housing providers may not require persons
with disabilities to live only on certain floors, or to all live in one section of the housing. Housing
providers may not refuse to make repairs, and may not limit or deny someone with a disability
access to recreational and other public and common use facilities, parking privileges, cleaning
or janitorial services or any services which are made available to other residents.
When possible, OCHA fulfills reasonable accommodation requests. These include disabled
access, desire to live near family, and senior appropriate housing. To complement this, over the
past five years OCHA has been awarded 50 non - elderly disabled (NED) vouchers and 510 HUD
VASH vouchers to enable the Housing Authority to better serve disabled residents.
OCHA takes the following steps proactively to serve the needs of disabled residents:
• When requested by an individual, assist program applicants and participants to gain
access to support services available within the community, but not require eligible
applicant or participant to accept supportive services as a condition of continued
participation in the program.
• Not deny persons who qualify for a Housing Choice Voucher under this program other
housing opportunities, or otherwise restrict access to OCHA programs to eligible
applicants who choose not to participate.
• Provide housing search assistance when requested. Lists of available units that include
accessible units for persons with disabilities are provided to participants. This list is
updated weekly and is available in the Lobby. Upon request, a referral list may also be
obtained by email, or by fax.
• In accordance with rent reasonableness requirements, approve higher rents to owners
that provide accessible units with structural modifications for persons with disabilities.
• Provide technical assistance, through referrals to a fair housing service provider such as
the Fair Housing Foundation, to owners interested in making reasonable
accommodations or units accessible to persons with disabilities.
In 2012, OCHA opened its waitlist for two weeks, during which time 50,000 households
submitted applications. Of these applications, 19 percent identified as having at least one
person in the house with a disability.
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders
The most pressing need is the high demand for affordable housing throughout the county. This
is documented by the long waitlists for public housing units and vouchers as noted above when
50,000 households submitted applications for vouchers. During that open enrollment period,
OCHA noted that a growing number of applicants lived outside of Orange County.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 61
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
OCHA noted that housing costs are quite high in the county, especially in Newport Beach, often
resulting in cost burdened households.
Beyond the need for affordable housing, residents also need additional access to service
programs such as:
• Job training and placement
• Youth employment and educational programs
• Childcare services
• Transportation
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large
The needs experienced by OCHA residents are similar to the needs of very low- income and low -
income households throughout the City of Newport Beach.
Discussion
In the upcoming five years, OCHA's goals include the following actions:
• 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.

NA -40 Homeless Needs Assessment — 91.205(c)
Introduction:
There are four federally defined categories under which individuals and families may qualify as
homeless: 1) literally homeless; 2) imminent risk of homelessness; 3) homeless under other
Federal statues; and 4) fleeing /attempting to flee domestic violence. Although recent reports
show that homelessness is decreasing, challenges still remain. The pool of people at risk of
homelessness — including those in poverty, those living with friends and family and those paying
over half their income for housing remains high.
Homelessness is addressed regionally by the Orange County Continuum of Care (CoQ an
umbrella organization that brings together government agencies and community -based non-
profit organizations in a coordinated effort to meet the urgent needs of those who have
become homeless or are in imminent danger of becoming homeless. Three key groups have
leadership roles within the CoC, including The Commission to End Homelessness (lead agency
and legislative body), the Orange County Community Services Department (administrative) and
2 -1 -1 Orange County, a private nonprofit (leads /coordinates network of homeless providers).
In 2012, the CoC finalized the Ten -Year Plan to End Homelessness in Orange County. This plan
provides the following nine goals to effectively end homelessness in Orange County:
• Prevent homelessness by ensuring that no one in our community becomes homeless.
• Conduct outreach to those who are homeless and at -risk of homelessness.
• Improve the efficacy of the emergency shelter and access system.
• Make strategic improvements in the transitional housing system.
• Develop permanent housing options linked to a range of supportive services.
• Ensure that people have the right resources, programs and services to remain housed.
• Improve data systems to provide timely, accurate data that can be used to define the
need for housing and related services and to measure outcomes.
• Develop the systems and organizational structures to provide oversight and
accountability.
• Advocate for social policy and systemic changes necessary to succeed.
The Ten -Year Plan to End Homelessness in Orange County represents a commitment by all
stakeholders throughout the County to end homelessness over the next decade.

Nature and Extent of Homelessness in Orange County Compared to the National Average
Every two years during the last 10 days of January, HUD requires communities across the
country conduct a comprehensive count of their homeless population in order to better
understand the nature and extent of homelessness. The most recent Point -in -Time Homeless
Count (PIT Count) was held on January 26, 2013, providing the only population data available
for the entire County on people who are literally homeless (i.e. living unsheltered on the
streets, in a vehicle or other place not fit for human habitation, or in and emergency shelter or
transitional housing program). Similar to other counties in California that reported 2011 and
2013 point -in -time results, Orange County's homeless population has declined as a percentage
of the overall population. According to HUD's Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress,
Orange County's homeless rate has fallen below the national average of 0.2 percent. Increases
or decreases in homelessness reported in PIT Counts may be partially attributable to
methodological differences, shifts in HUD requirements and data quality improvements in the
Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). These factors may affect the accuracy and
meaning of the PIT Count compared to previous counts.
2013 Point -In -Time Count Results
The PIT Count revealed that on any given night in Orange County, approximately 4,300 people
are homeless and that over a course of a year, more than 12,700 people will experience
homelessness.

If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting
homelessness each year," and "number of days that persons experience homelessness,"
describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless
individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and
unaccompanied youth):
A Chronically Homeless Individual is an unaccompanied homeless individual (living in an
emergency shelter or in an unsheltered location) with a disabling condition that has been
continuously homeless for a year or more, or has had at least four episodes of homelessness in
the past three years. Of those homeless individuals that were reported as chronically homeless,
129 individuals were sheltered and 668 individuals were unsheltered.
Families with children include at least one household member age 18 or over and at least one
household member under the age of 18. According to the PIT Count, there were 523 homeless
families with at least one adult and one child, comprised of 522 families (1,536 people) living in
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 66
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
emergency or transitional shelters and one unsheltered family (three people) in need of
housing assistance.
Veterans are persons who have served on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States.
This does not include inactive military reserves or the National Guard unless the person was
called up to active duty. The PIT count revealed 177 sheltered veterans and 269 unsheltered
veterans, including an estimated 11 sheltered female veterans and 11 unsheltered female
veterans.
Unaccompanied youth are individuals under the age of 18 years old, who are presumed to be
emancipated if they are unsheltered without an adult. According to the Orange County
Homeless Count & Survey Report, there was one interview of an unaccompanied 17 year old.
Additionally, 480 homeless individuals were categorized as severely mentally ill according to the
Orange County Homeless Count & Survey Report, meaning that they have mental health
problems that are expected to be of long, Mcontinued and indefinite duration and substantially
impair their ability to live independently. Of those homeless individuals that were reported as
severely mentally ill, 104 individuals were sheltered and 376 remained unsheltered.
Further, the Orange County Homeless Count & Survey Report revealed 89 homeless people
with HIV /AIDS, including 62 individuals who were sheltered and 27 who were unsheltered.

Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.
According to the PIT Count, an estimated 66.4 percent of unsheltered homeless individuals
were identified as White in terms of race and 69.9 percent of unsheltered homeless individuals
were identified as non - Hispanic in terms of ethnicity. The next largest unsheltered racial groups
include Black /African American (9.1 percent) and those with multiple races (8.7 percent). None
of the racial groups were disproportionately represented amongst the homeless population.

OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
The homeless population in Orange County is generally comparable to national averages. As in
Orange County, the majority of homeless people nationally identified themselves as Black or
White in terms of race. There are more Hispanics in Orange County's unsheltered homeless
population than nationally (28 percent versus 16 percent); however, Orange County overall is
34 percent Hispanic.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.
Approximately 1,678 people or 39 percent of Orange County's homeless people were
unsheltered and living in inhabitable living environments (i.e. living in the streets, vehicles or
tents) and approximately 2,573 people or 61 percent of homeless people counted were
sheltered. Of the 2,573 people sheltered, 796 were in emergency shelters, 749 were in
transitional housing and zero were in safe haven shelters —a form of supportive housing that
serves hard -to -reach homeless persons with severe mental illness who come primarily from the
streets and have been unable or unwilling to participate in housing or supportive services.
Orange County has not designated any safe haven programs.
Discussion:
As indicated earlier, the PIT Count conducted on January 26, 2013 revealed that on any given
night in Orange County, approximately 4,300 people are homeless. With the understanding that
it is not possible to locate and count each homeless individual in a single morning, as was the
strategy for the PIT Count, an annualized count is calculated using a HUD - approved
methodology to determine the estimated number of people experiencing homelessness in a
one -year period. It is estimated that over a course of a year, approximately 12,707 people will
experience homelessness in Orange County, down from 21,479 in 2009. The formula used to
develop the Orange County annualized estimate was adjusted to take into account Orange
County's seasonal shelter system and high degree of complete and accurate data collected
through the Orange County HMIS.
The results of the PIT Count are encouraging with respect to declines in the total number of
homeless identified on the day of the PIT Count and the estimated annualized count, with each
figure representing a steady decline in homelessness over the last five years. The percentage of
the County's population that may be homeless on a given night is half of what it was in 2009,
declining from 0.28 percent to 0.14 percent.
While the deployment of homeless prevention and rapid re- housing resources by the CoC and
its partner agencies has made significant inroads toward achieving the goals included in the Ten
Year Plan to End Homelessness in Orange County, the following Countywide needs are
identified:
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 69
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
• An estimated 523 housing units that are affordable to extremely -low income
households are needed to address homelessness for families with children.
• An estimated 2,562 housing units that are affordable to low- income households are
needed to address homelessness for the 2,698 people in households without children.
Included in the needs above, an estimated 446 housing units that are affordable to extremely -
low or low- income households are needed to reduce the number of sheltered and unsheltered
homeless veterans.

NA -45 Non - Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d)
Introduction:
Special needs populations consist of persons who are not homeless but due to various reasons
are in need of services and supportive housing. Persons with special needs include the elderly,
frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with
alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV /AIDS and victims of domestic violence. In
Orange County, other subpopulations with special needs include victims of human trafficking
and veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The City of Newport Beach will
consider allocating CDBG public service funding to various programs that provide services to
special needs populations, including but not limited to those serving the elderly, frail elderly,
developmentally disabled, physically disabled and victims of domestic violence. Describe the
characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
Elderly and Frail Elderly: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
defines elderly as a person who is 62 years of age or older. A frail elderly person is an elderly
person who is unable to perform at least three activities of daily living including eating, bathing
or home management activities. Generally, elderly persons have lower incomes than the
population at large. Based on 2007 -2011 CHAS data, of the 12,725 households containing at
least one elderly person, 31 percent (3,895 households) earn less than 80 percent of the Area
Median Income for Orange County.
Persons with Disabilities: HUD defines a disabled person as having a physical or mental
impairment that substantially limits major life activities. The obstacle to independent living for
these adults is not only their disability, but also the lack of financial resources, often related to
limited employment. Additionally, persons with disabilities have high dependency on
supportive services and may require accessibility modifications to accommodate their unique
conditions. Based on ACS data, of the total Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population (85,654) in
Newport Beach, 6,013 persons have a disability. Of these 6,013 disabled persons, 1,761 are
between the ages of 18 -64 years of age.
Alcohol and Other Drug Addictions: Drug abuse or substance abuse is defined as the use of
chemical substances that lead to an increased risk of problems and an inability to control the
use of the substance. According to the Indicators of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Report for
Orange, Center for Applied Research Solutions, there were 406 admissions to alcohol and other
drug treatment per 100,000 people in Orange County compared to the state average of 592
admissions in 2008. There were also 838 arrests for felony and misdemeanor drug offenses and
1,055 alcohol related arrests per 100,000 people in comparison to the state's 910 drug arrests
and 1,203 alcohol arrests in 2008.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 71
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
HIV /AIDS: Human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV) is a virus that weakens one's immune
system by destroying important cells that fight diseases and infection. Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the final stage of the HIV infection. Orange County's Health Care
Agency Department of Disease Control and Epidemiology reported 6,215 persons living with
HIV disease at the end of 2013. For persons living with HIV /AIDS, access to affordable housing,
supportive services and health care is important to maintaining their well- being.
Victims of Domestic Violence: Domestic Violence includes, but is not limited to felony or
misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a current or former spouse of the victim or by a
person who is cohabitating with or has cohabited with the victim as a spouse. In 2013, the
Newport Beach Police Department responded to a total of 175 calls related to domestic
violence. Of these calls, 164 of these domestic incidents did not involve a weapon. However, 11
calls involved a weapon of which 1 involved a firearm, 2 involved a knife or cutting instrument,
1 involved other dangerous weapons and 7 involved personal weapons such as feet or hands.
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these
needs determined?
To determine the level of need and types of services needed by special needs populations, the
City conducted surveys, consulted with local service providers and reviewed ACS data.
Supportive services required for special needs populations include case management, medical
or psychological counseling and supervision, childcare, transportation and job training provided
for the purpose of facilitating a person's stability and independence.
In housing, accessibility modifications to accommodate persons with mobility disabilities may
include, but are not limited to, wider doorways, no step thresholds, installation of ramps, grab
bars, lowered countertops and accessible hardware. The needs of residents with sensory
disabilities are different from those with mobility disabilities. Individuals with hearing
disabilities require visual adaptations for such items as the telephone ringer, the doorbell and
smoke alarms. Residents who are blind may require tactile marking of changes in floor level and
stair edges and braille markings on appliances and controls. People with low vision may require
large print markings and displays, contrasting colors to distinguish changes in level or transition
from one area to another, proper lighting, and reduced glare from lighting and windows.
For persons with special needs, the high cost of living in Orange County makes it very difficult
for to maintain a stable residence. Often these segments of the population rely on support
services from various Orange County's non - profit organizations to avoid becoming homeless or
institutionalized.

Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV /AIDS and their families within
the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:
Only one in every four of the 1.1 million Americans living with HIV has their infection under
control. In Orange County a total 6,549 people were identified as having HIV /AIDS. Of the 6,549
estimated persons living with HIV in Orange County, 63.9 percent were linked to HIV care
compared to California's 2012 percentage of 52 percent. 54.1 percent achieved viral
suppression compared to California's 40 percent in 2012. Orange County has higher linkage to
care and viral suppression percentages than California and national figures.
Of the 6,549 Orange County residents age 13 and older estimated to be living with HIV, 54.1
percent had achieved viral suppression. Hispanics estimated to be living with HIV in Orange
County are less likely to be linked to HIV care (59.3 percent) or virally suppressed (69.9 percent)
than other race /ethnicity groups. However, younger persons (13 -24 years) estimated to be
living with HIV are least likely to be linked to care (32.4 percent) and are also least likely to be
virally suppressed (29.8 percent). Men and women estimated to be living with HIV in Orange
County are equally likely to be linked to care (70.3percent), but women are more likely to be
retained in care (59.7 percent), while men are more likely to be virally suppressed (60.7
percent). Women estimated to be living in Orange County are equally likely to be linked to HIV
care (66.9 percent) and to be virally suppressed (59.8 percent) than males.
Discussion:
Newport Beach residents with special needs include, but are not limited to the elderly, frail
elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol
and other drug addictions, persons with HIV /AIDS and victims of domestic violence. In Orange
County, other subpopulations with special needs include victims of human trafficking and
veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Victims of Human Trafficking: Human trafficking is a crime that involves the forceful,
fraudulent or coercive methods of entrapping a person, real or perceived, in an attempt to
exploit them for financial gain. The exploitative nature can come in the form of labor services,
involuntary servitude, enslavement, debt bondage or commercial sex acts. As of December
2012, The Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force reported a total of 213 incidents of
human trafficking in Orange County as follows:
• Type of Trafficking
• Sex —160
• Labor -42

Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: Post - Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a
psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of a life- threatening
event such as military combat, natural disaster, terrorist incident, serious accident, physical or
sexual assault. Most survivors of trauma experience a group of symptoms for a short period of
time. However, others will have stress reactions that do not subside on their own and may get
worse over time. The 2013 PIT Count, reported 446 homeless veterans. Of these veterans, 40
percent were sheltered in either emergency or transitional housing, while 60 percent of these
homeless veterans remained unsheltered.
Challenges these special needs populations and subpopulations face include low income and
high housing cost. This segment of the population also struggles for a decent quality of life that
includes basic necessities, adequate food and clothing and medical care.
In the last five years, the City of
Newport
Beach provided CDBG public service funds for
activities including
those providing
support
services and transitional housing to victims of
domestic violence,
transportation
services
and nutritional meals program for low- income
seniors.

NA -50 Non - Housing Community Development Needs — 91.215 (f)
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities:
The City's public facility priorities are to construct, expand or rehabilitate public facilities for the
primary benefit of low- income persons. CDBG public facility projects that meet CDBG eligibility
requirements align with the goals of the Consolidated Plan, and address a CDBG National
Objective will be considered for funding in the Annual Action Plans.
Within the Consolidated Plan, a goal has been established to improve public facilities used by
low- and moderate - income residents and residents with special needs. Such projects may
include the construction of new facilities, rehabilitation of existing facilities or expansion of
existing facilities to better meet the needs of Newport Beach residents. Such facilities include,
but are not limited to youth centers, community centers, senior centers, parks and recreation
facilities and child care centers.
The City operates a dedicated facility for youth. The Community Youth Center is located at
scenic Grant Howald Park in the heart of Corona del Mar. The facility includes athletic fields,
basketball courts, tennis courts along with a game room, meeting room and dance floor. The
City also operates seven community centers: Balboa, West Newport, Bonita Creek, Carroll Beek,
Cliff Drive, Community Youth Center (CYC), and the Mariners Vincent Jorgensen Community
Center.
Newport Beach operates the Oasis Senior Center facility which helps direct seniors to valuable
outside resources and offers high - quality programming to enrich the lives of seniors, including
but not limited to activities such as educational classes, exercise programs, art education,
health promotion, transportation, counseling, support functions.
How were these needs determined?
The needs identified for public facilities in the City were determined through citizen
participation meetings and responses from the Consolidated Plan Survey. Within the
Consolidated Plan, priority is given to facilities that primarily benefit low- income beneficiaries,
particularly those with critically needed renovation or demonstrated need for expansion to
accommodate the needs of low- income residents.

Figure 21: Need for Additional or Improved Community Facilities
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements:
The sidewalks, curbs, gutters, driveway approaches, alleys, pedestrian crossings and street
lights located within low to moderate income areas are in need of improvement to preserve
neighborhood aesthetics, increase pedestrian and motorist safety, promote more efficient
traffic circulation and deter crime while promoting a safe and suitable living environment.
Public facilities improvements of this nature undertaken to benefit low- and moderate - income
primarily residential CDBG Target Areas are consistent with the goals of the Consolidated Plan.
How were these needs determined?
The needs identified for public infrastructure improvements in the City were determined in
consultation with the City of Newport Beach's Engineering Department. Respondents to the
2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan Survey also indicated that improvements to sidewalks, streets
and alleys are a low priority need.

OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services:
Public service activities are consistently ranked as a high priority by residents and other
stakeholders. Pursuant to CDBG regulations, only 15 percent of the City's annual grant
allocation (plus 15 percent of prior year program income) can be used for public service -type
activities. The City proposes to focus funds on lower- income households in order to establish,
improve, and expand existing public services, such as: mental health services, services for
domestic violence victims, services for the homeless and persons with special needs, and youth
and senior services.
The City partners with local non - profit agencies and the regional Continuum of Care to provide
homeless services to the area. The City is cognizant of the importance of the provision of
homeless services and will support programs that contribute to the regional Continuum of
Care's framework of service.
Although substance abuse services are being adequately provided by the various public and
private agencies, the City places a medium priority on substance abuse services to address the
high cost of these services for the low and moderate income persons who would otherwise not
be able to afford the services in addition to addressing the supportive service in the Continuum
of Care homeless plan.
How were these needs determined?
Public service needs are based on the City's desire to ensure that high quality services are
provided to residents to maintain a high quality of life and to promote the well -being of all
Newport Beach residents — particularly low- and moderate- income residents. As a result of the
citizen participation and consultation process and in consideration of the local nonprofits and
City Departments offering services, the City considers public services benefitting low- and
moderate - income residents a high priority in the Consolidated Plan.

Housing Market Analysis
MA -05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:
This section evaluates existing housing market conditions in Newport Beach in terms of housing
supply, demand, condition and cost. Newport Beach's housing stock primarily consists of single -
family detached residential dwellings (45 percent) and single units in attached structures (16
percent), with 16,379 or 78 percent of the owner - occupied housing stock consisting of units
with three or more bedrooms and the majority of the rental housing stock consisting of units
that have two bedrooms (7,334 units or 43 percent) or one bedrooms (4,949 units or 29
percent).
In the decade between 2000 and 2011, the median home price in Newport Beach increased by
48 percent from $675,800 to $1,000,001 and the median contract rent increased by 50 percent
from $1,203 to $1,803 as median income increased by only 31 percent. As a result, some
Newport Beach households have become cost - burdened. Data from 2007 -2011 shows that
there is an insufficient number of housing units affordable to people with incomes less than 50
percent of AMI and for those between 80 and 100 percent of AMI.
Of the 10,350 households earning 0 -80 percent of AMI in the City, 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, 3580 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.
According to Table 34 there are 5,025 housing units in the City of Newport Beach affordable to
households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. According to Table 7, there are 10,350
households in Newport Beach who earn less than 80 percent of AMI, resulting in an estimated
need for approximately 5,325 additional housing units that are affordable to households
earning less than 80 percent of AMI.
In the last decade, the City has established a Task Force that along with staff continually
investigates and research potential new affordable housing opportunities to add to its
inventory of affordable housing stock. This includes offering incentives to developers of
affordable housing, including density bonuses, fee waivers, expedited permit processing, and
the use of funds from the Affordable Housing Fund.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 80
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
In light of limited monetary resources available to create new affordable housing units and the
continuing recovery of the Southern California housing market after the recent recession,
housing affordability will remain a significant challenge during the 2015 -2019 Consolidated
Plan.

MA -10 Number of Housing Units — 91.210(a) &(b)(2)
Introduction
According to 2007 -2011 ACS data, 73 percent of the City's housing stock is comprised of single
family housing (1 -4 units). Multifamily housing (5+ units) accounts for only 24 percent of total
housing units in the City and a majority of these dwelling units are in larger multifamily
structures containing more than 20 units. Mobile homes comprise the smallest portion of the
housing stock in the City (2 percent).
The majority of the City's ownership housing (78 percent) is comprised of larger units
containing three or more bedrooms. In comparison, only 23 percent of the City's rental housing
is comprised of larger units. The tables below indicate the number of residential properties in
the City by property type, unit size and tenure.

Table 31- Affordable Housing Covenants
Describe the number and targeting (income level /type of family served) of units assisted with
federal, state, and local programs.
HUD requires that the City undertake an analysis of federal, state and locally assisted housing
units that may be lost from the City's affordable housing stock. The expiration of affordability
restrictions on government assisted rental units is the typical reason of this potential loss. Much
of the housing at -risk of conversion from affordable housing to market rate housing is
predominantly reserved for lower income households.
Use restrictions, as defined by State law, means any federal, state or local statute, regulation,
ordinance or contract which as a condition of receipt of any housing assistance, including a
rental subsidy, mortgage subsidy, or mortgage insurance, to an assisted housing development,
establishes maximum limitations on tenant income as a condition of eligibility for occupancy.
As of October 2013, the City monitors a total of 10 affordable housing projects in Newport
Beach. The 10 projects consist of a total of 376 units restricted to low- and moderate - income
households. All but two of these 10 projects received some combination of federal, state or
local subsidy.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 83
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for
any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
Conversion Risk
The table above provides an inventory of affordable housing developments in Newport Beach.
This table provides information on the funding sources, number of units, target populations,
and earliest date of conversion to market -rate housing due to expiration of affordability
controls or subsidy contracts. An assessment of this information for the period ending June 30,
2020 revealed that 112 of the 376 affordable housing units are at risk of converting to market
rate housing.
Preservation and Replacement Options
To maintain the existing affordable housing stock, the City may either attempt to preserve the
existing assisted units or facilitate the development of new units. Each negotiation to preserve
affordable units is unique in the sense that each project's ownership interests and economic
needs will vary and City resources may be insufficient to preserve all 376 units. Depending on
the circumstances of each project that includes at -risk units, different options may be used to
preserve or replace the units. Preservation options typically include: 1) transfer of units to
nonprofit ownership; 2) provision of rental assistance to tenants using other funding sources;
and 3) purchase of extended affordability covenants. In terms of replacement, the most direct
option is the development of new affordable units with long -term covenants.
Replacement of the at -risk units is expected through the implementation of the Housing
Element Policies, implementation of existing Affordable Housing Implementation Plans, and
financial assistance through the Affordable Housing Fund. The City Council has also established
an Affordable Housing Task Force that works with developers and landowners to facilitate the
development of affordable units, the preservation of at -risk units, and determines the most
appropriate use of in -lieu fee funds.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population?
The City has a significant need for additional rental housing units — particularly 0, 1 and 2
bedroom units affordable to households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. According to the
data discussed in the Needs Assessment, the most common housing problems in the City are
cost burden and to a lesser extent, overcrowding. Overcrowding affects 254 low- and
moderate - income Newport Beach households, of which 78 percent are renters who have more
than 1.01 people per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half- rooms. There
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 84
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
are 2,945 renter households who earn less than 50 percent of AMI that are severely cost
burdened paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
Of the 2,945 renter households who earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are severely cost
burdened paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs:
• 300 are small related households with four or fewer members
20 are large related households with five or more members
• 430 are elderly households with one or more members over the age of 62
• 890 are other /single person households
This breakdown by tenure, income, cost burden and household type indicates a need for
additional affordable 0, 1 and 2 bedroom rental units in Newport Beach.
Discussion
For decades, California's housing market has been among the most expensive in the country,
and the economic downturn that began toward the latter portion of the last decade has only
made the situation worse. Not only is renting expensive, but purchasing a home is also largely
out of reach. According to Out of Reach 2014, a report jointly released by the National Low
Income Housing Coalition and the Southern California Association of Non Profit Housing
(SCANPH), Orange County renters must earn $31.62 per hour or $65,760 per year in order to
afford a modest, two - bedroom apartment at Fair Market Rent. At minimum wage,
approximately 158 hours of work per week is required in order to afford a modest, two -
bedroom apartment at Fair Market Rent in Orange County. By comparison, the national
Housing Wage for 2014 was $18.92 and the statewide housing wage was $26.04.
As noted in the 2013 -2021 Housing Element, it is the City's goal to encourage the development
of an adequate and diverse supply of housing that accommodates the changing housing needs
of all Newport Beach residents. Over the next five years the City will strive to meet the
following housing goals and priorities:
• Quality residential development and preservation, conservation, and appropriate
redevelopment of housing stock;
• A balanced residential community, comprised of a variety of housing types, designs, and
opportunities for all social and economic segments;
• Housing opportunities for as many renter and owner occupied households as possible in
response to the demand for housing in the City.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 85
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
• Preservation and increased affordability of the City's housing stock for extremely low,
very low -, low, and moderate - income households;
• Housing opportunities for special needs populations;
• Equal housing opportunities for all residents; and
• Effective and responsive housing programs and policies.
Through these efforts, the City will strive to maintain a healthy community that encourages
family stability and economic growth.

MA -15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a)
Introduction
One of the most important factors in evaluating a community's housing market is the cost of
housing and whether the housing is affordable to households who live there or would like to
live there. If housing costs are relatively high in comparison to household income, a
correspondingly high prevalence of housing cost burden and overcrowding will typically occur.
Tables 30 and 31 indicate the median home value and contract rent (not including utility or
other associated costs). These values are self- reported by residents through the U.S. Census
American Community Survey.
Based on the reported housing costs, Table 33 indicates the number of units that are currently
affordable to households at different levels of the HUD Area Median Income (AMI). It is
important to note, that just because a unit is affordable to residents at that income level, it
does not necessarily mean that a household at that income level is occupying the unit.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels?
According to the 2007 -2011 CHAS and ACS data, there is insufficient affordable housing in the
City. Table 32 indicates that only 5,619 of the City's 38,045 housing units (14.8 percent) are
affordable to households earning 100 percent or less of HAMFI while there are 13,115 such
households in Newport Beach.
Approximately 3,835 households earning less than 30 percent of AMI reside in the City;
however, there are only approximately 455 dwelling units affordable to those at this income
level. Similarly, the City has 2,840 households earning between 31 and 50 percent of AMI and
only 1,015 housing units affordable to those at this income level. The shortage of affordable
units is most prevalent for households with the lowest incomes, but even households earning
between 81 and 100 percent AMI will have difficulty finding housing they can afford. The City is
home to 2,765 households earning between 81 and 100 percent AMI but only 594 housing units
are affordable to those at this income level.
Although a housing unit may be considered affordable to a particular income group, this does
not necessarily mean that the unit is actually occupied by a household in that income group.
Therefore, the affordability mismatches are likely to be more severe than presented by the
CHAS data.

The data presented in Tables 30 and 31 was sourced from 2007 -2011 during a period of decline
in the housing market that temporarily enhanced housing affordability in the City. As the
housing market rebounds as expected during the next five years, home values and rents are
generally projected to rise, which will further exacerbate housing problems such as cost
burden, severe cost burden and overcrowding — particularly for low- and moderate - income
households.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this
impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?
The median contract rent according to 2007 -2011 ACS data was $1,803, which is slightly more
than the Fair Market Rent for a two bedroom unit. According to data in Table 28, 77 percent of
rental units have two or fewer bedrooms. According to data in Table 8, 199 renter households
are overcrowded or severely overcrowded, which can be attributed to high rents as well as the
lack of affordable units with three or more bedrooms.
To produce or preserve affordable rental housing units that carry a minimum HOME
affordability period of 20 years, significant levels of subsidy are required. Taking only rents into
consideration, an owner of a two - bedroom unit would forego $129,120 of operating income
when renting the unit at Low HOME rent levels instead of Fair Market Rent.
Discussion
In the decade between 2000 and 2011, the median home price in Newport Beach increased by
48 percent from $675,800 to $1,000,001 and the median contract rent increased by 50 percent
from $1,203 to $1,803 as median income increased by only 31 percent. As a result, Newport
Beach households have become increasingly cost - burdened.
Data from 2007 -2011 shows that there is an insufficient number of housing units affordable to
people with incomes less than 50 percent of AMI. In light of scarce land and monetary
resources available to create new affordable housing units and the continuing recovery of the
Southern California housing market after the recent recession, housing affordability is expected
to remain a significant challenge in the next five years.

MA -20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing — 91.210(a)
Introduction
Assessing housing conditions in the City provides the basis for developing strategies to maintain
and preserve the quality of the housing stock. The ACS defines a "selected condition" as owner -
or renter - occupied housing units having at least one of the following conditions: 1) lacking
complete plumbing facilities; 2) lacking complete kitchen facilities; 3) more than one occupant
per room; and 4) selected monthly housing costs greater than 30 percent of household income.
Based on the definition of selected conditions, Table 34 shows that 42 percent of owner -
occupied households in the City have at least one selected condition and 41 percent of all
renter - occupied households in the City have at least one selected condition.
Definitions
Substandard housing is housing that does not meet the minimum standards contained in the
State Housing Code (i.e., does not provide shelter, endangers health, safety or well -being of
occupants). A substandard condition is one that affects the health and safety of a resident's
habitability. As defined by California Health and Safety Code, a substandard condition exists to
the extent that it endangers the health and safety of its occupants or the public. Following is a
list of substandard conditions:
• Inadequate sanitation
• Structural hazards
• Any nuisance that endangers the health and safety of the occupants or the public
• All substandard plumbing, wiring, and /or mechanical equipment, unless it conformed to
all applicable laws in effect at the time of installation and has been maintained in a good
and safe condition
• Faulty weather protection
• The use of construction materials not allowed or approved by the health and safety
code
• Fire, health and safety hazards (as determined by the appropriate fire or health official)
• Lack of, or inadequate fire - resistive construction or fire - extinguishing systems as
required by the health and safety code, unless the construction and /or systems
conformed to all applicable laws in effect at the time of construction and /or installation
and adequately maintained
• Inadequate structural resistance to horizontal forces
• Buildings or portions thereof occupied for living, sleeping, cooking, or dining purposes
that were not designed or intended to be used for such occupancies
• Inadequate maintenance that causes a building or any portion thereof to be declared
unsafe

Standard housing condition in the City of Newport Beach is defined as housing that meets the
minimum standards contained in the State Housing Code. For the purposes of the CDBG
program, a unit in substandard condition is considered suitable for rehabilitation provided that
the unit is structurally sound and the cost of rehabilitation is considered economically
warranted.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
The age and condition of Newport Beach's housing stock is an important indicator of potential
rehabilitation needs. Housing over 15 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of
paint, weatherization, heating / air - conditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing
fixtures. Commonly, housing over 30 years of age needs some form of major rehabilitation,
such as roof replacement, foundation work and plumbing systems. Due to high household
income and high housing values in Newport Beach, housing tends to be better maintained than
in many other communities with similar levels of older housing stock. However, despite having
sizable equity in their homes, some owner - occupied households (elderly households in
particular) have limited incomes and may have difficulty maintaining their homes.
According to 2007 -2011 HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data,
approximately 5,363 or 26 percent of the 20,950 owner- occupied housing units in Newport
Beach were built between 15 and 34 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999), with another
12,619 or 60 percent of the 20,950 owner - occupied housing built 34 or more years ago (built
prior to 1980). Older subdivisions in the City will demonstrate a significantly higher percentage
of older housing units and a higher concentration of lower- income, senior citizens and special
needs groups. The City presently has 933 mobile home spaces in ten mobile home parks. Of
these mobile home parks, one ( Beach and Bay Mobile Home Park) appears to be in substantial
physical decline with two others (Marina park Mobile Home Park and Seacliffe Mobile Home
Park approved for closure sins 2006.
The City is cognizant of the need for rehabilitation of low- and moderate - income housing units
and as such, adopted Goal H5 on their 2013 Housing Element which calls for the City to work
with the Orange County Housing Authority to establish a Senior /Disabled or Limited Income
Repair Loan and Grant Program to underwrite all or part of the cost of necessary housing
modifications and repairs. The City is currently conducting an analysis of different programs and
the financial feasibility of participating in such programs. Currently, the City refers low- and

Hazards
Any housing built before 1978 may contain lead -based paint. If ingested, lead may cause severe
damage to young children including decreased growth, learning disabilities, impaired hearing,
hyperactivity, nerve and brain damage. Lead attacks the central nervous system, the
neurological system, and can cause brain damage, IQ reduction, learning disabilities, decreased
attention span, hyperactivity, growth inhibition, comas, seizures, and in some cases, death.
Fetuses may also experience significant adverse effects through prenatal exposure. Children are
more susceptible to the effects of lead because their growing bodies absorb more lead, and
young children often put their hands and other objects in their mouths. Most children do not
have any symptoms, even if a blood test shows that they have an elevated blood lead level. If a
child does have symptoms, the symptoms may be mistaken for the flu or other illnesses.
Number of Children with Elevated Blood Levels of Lead
The State of California mandates lead screening for all children who participate in publicly
funded health programs. In California, screening typically occurs at ages one and two years. A
blood level of 10 ltg /dL or higher was previously referred to as an "elevated blood level (EBL)."
However, as it is now recognized that there is no safe level of lead, and adverse effects occur at
levels below 10 pg /d L, an "elevated" blood lead level is no longer defined at a particular cut
point. Therefore, categories indicating increased levels of exposure are presented here.
In accordance with State of California regulations, a "case" is defined as a child having a blood
lead level equal to or greater than 20 µg /d L, or persistent levels between 15 -19 µg /d L. Once a
case is reported, the Orange County Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program is involved
in the case management, as described below under the heading "Childhood Lead Poisoning
Prevention Program (CLPP)."
The State records the number of children tested each year, the number of children with blood
levels exceeding certain levels, and the number of reported cases. Table 38 shows the number
of children tested, BLLs indicating increased exposure, and cases in the City of Newport Beach.
Table 38 above provides this data for the prior 5 years.
Older housing is more likely to have lead -based paint and the amount of lead pigment in the
paint tends to increase with the age of the housing. The vast majority of Newport Beach's
housing stock (63.8 percent) was built prior to 1979, when the use of lead -based paint was
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 93
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
outlawed, therefore the residents of the homes built prior to 1979 are at risk of lead -based
paint hazards.
If it is assumed that low- and moderate - income residents occupy a percentage of the City's
housing units proportional to their population, then as many as 27 percent of all the pre -1980
housing units could reasonably be expected to be occupied by low- and moderate- income
families. This number may be even higher, since lower- income households may be more likely
to live in older housing than households with greater means. The City estimates the number of
housing units occupied by low- and moderate - income families that may have lead paint hazards
present to be approximately 6,624. According to Table 37, 1,585 children live in housing units
built before 1980. Young children who live in housing built before 1978 could ingest lead -based
paint and are thus at higher risk.
Discussion
As noted in the needs assessment, a large share of owner and renter households experience at
least one substandard housing condition. Based on the results of the Needs Assessment, the
two most prevalent conditions are cost burden and overcrowding and cost - burden — indicating
that the housing stock is suitable for habitation.

MA -30 Homeless Facilities and Services — 91.210(c)
Introduction
Over the past two years, Orange County has implemented policy and program changes aimed
at ensuring homeless persons in Orange County are rapidly housed and that local resources are
invested in programs with proven impacts on reducing homelessness. The table below
illustrates the number of emergency shelter, transitional housing and permanent supportive
housing beds that exist within Orange County for different types of homeless households.
Seasonal and overflow beds are not allocated by household type, so these are total number of
beds for households with adults and children and households with only adults.
Between 2013 and 2014, a total of 594 shelter (e.g. emergency, transitional and
seasonal /overflow) beds were removed from the Homeless Inventory Count (HIC). The
Homeless Count & Survey Report suggests the reasons for the removal of these shelter beds
were either because the program was not restricted to homeless persons or the program
closed due to a loss of funding.
Despite the reduction of almost 600 total beds in the HIC between 2013 and 2014, 847
permanent supportive housing beds were added to the Homeless Inventory County. This
increase in permanent supportive housing for the most vulnerable populations is attributed to
Orange County homeless service providers re- tooling their programs and shifting their focus to
moving people quickly into permanent housing.

Describe mainstream services, such as health, mental health, and employment services to the
extent those services are use to complement services targeted to homeless persons
In California, the primary programs for assisting families in poverty are CalWORKs, CalFresh,
and Medi -Cal. These programs provide clients with employment assistance, discounted food,
medical care, child care, and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing and
transportation.
The California Work Opportunities for Kids (CaIWORKs) program provides financial assistance
and Welfare -to -Work services to California families with little to no cash. Through this program
these needy families may be eligible to receive immediate short -term help with housing, food,
utilities, clothing or medical care. Child care is also available through this program.
CalFresh, formerly the Food Stamp Program, is a nutritional assistance program that provides
Electronic Benefit Transfer Cards to people on public assistance to purchase food and other
essential items.
The Medi -Cal program provides health coverage for people with low income and limited ability
to pay for health coverage, including the aged, blind, disabled, young adults and children,
pregnant women, persons in a skilled nursing or intermediate care home, and persons in the
Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program (BCCTP). People receiving federally funded cash
assistance programs, such as CalWORKs (a state implementation of the federal Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program), the State Supplementation Program (SSP) (a
state supplement to the federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program), foster care,
adoption assistance, certain refugee assistance programs, or In -Home Supportive Services
(IHSS) are also eligible.
HUD - Funded Activities
Congress designed the CDBG, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions
Grant (ESG) programs to serve low- income people, some of which may meet the federal
poverty definition, and at least 51 percent of whom are low- and moderate - income individuals
and families.
At least 70 percent of all CDBG funds must be used for activities that are considered under
program rules to benefit low- to moderate - income persons. Additionally, every CDBG activity
must meet one of three national objectives to: benefit low- and moderate- income persons (at
least 51 percent of the beneficiaries must be low- to moderate - income); address slums or
blight; or meet a particularly urgent community development need.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 99
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Under the HOME program, households must earn no more than 80 percent of the Area Median
Income (AMI), adjusted for household size, to be eligible for assistance. Furthermore, 90
percent of a HOME Participating Jurisdiction's (PJ's) annual HOME allocation that is invested in
affordable rental housing must be directed to assist households earning no more than 60
percent of AML
The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program provides homeless persons with basic shelter
and essential supportive services. This program may also assist with the operational costs of a
shelter facility and for the administration of the grant. ESG also provides short-term homeless
prevention assistance to persons at imminent risk of losing their own housing due to eviction,
foreclosure, or utility shutoffs.
Orange County's ESG program is administered through the County of Orange and its continuum
of care provider 2 -1 -1 Orange County (merged with O.C. Partnership in 2014). 2 -1 -1 Orange
County supports, creates, and sustains solutions to homelessness in Orange County by
providing leadership, advocacy, planning and management of program funding. 2 -1 -1 Orange
County provides funding and guidance for a vast network of local, non - profit agencies with
missions to help people leave homelessness permanently. These agencies are dedicated to
providing as much assistance as possible, including emergency shelter, to help homeless
persons with housing, case management, counseling, advocacy, substance abuse programs, and
other specialized services.
List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly
chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their
families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP -40
Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA -35 Special Needs Facilities and Services,
describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations.
For many Orange County residents, the first entry into the CoC is through an emergency
shelter, where individuals and families obtain emergency housing and supportive services
directed to getting people off the streets and into a safe environment. The next component of
the CoC is transitional housing, designed as short -term housing for up to two years, where
persons move into a more stabilized housing arrangement than an emergency shelter. The final
component of the CoC is permanent housing, both with and without supportive services. The
ultimate goal of the CoC system is to move people toward housing alternatives where they are
able to reside permanently in safe and sanitary housing.

MA -35 Special Needs Facilities and Services — 91.210(d)
Introduction
Special needs populations consist of persons who are not homeless but due to various reasons
are in need of services and supportive housing. The City of Newport Beach will consider
allocating CDBG public service funding to various programs that provide services to special
needs populations, including but not limited to those serving the elderly, frail elderly,
developmentally disabled, physically disabled, mentally disabled, alcohol or substance abusers,
persons with HIV /AIDS, victims of domestic violence, victims of human trafficking and veterans
with PTSD or other needs.
Elderly is defined under the CDBG program as a person who is 62 years of age or older. Based
on 2007 -2011 CHAS data, of the 7,705 households containing at least one elderly person, 23
percent (1,740 households) earn less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income for Orange
County.
People with disabilities have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or
more major life activities. Based on ACS data, of the total Civilian Noninstitutionalized
Population (85,654) in Newport Beach, 6,013 persons have a disability. Of these 6,013 disabled
persons, 1,761 are between the ages of 18 -64 years of age.
Drug abuse or substance abuse is defined as the use of chemical substances that lead to an
increased risk of problems and an inability to control the use of the substance. According to the
Indicators of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Report for Orange County, by the Center for
Applied Research Solutions, there were 406 admissions for alcohol and other drug treatment
per 100,000 people in Orange County compared to the state average of 592 admissions in 2008.
HIV is a virus that weakens the immune system by destroying important cells that fight diseases
and infection. AIDS is the final stage of HIV. Orange County's Health Care Agency Department of
Disease Control and Epidemiology reported 6,215 residents with HIV in 2013.
Domestic Violence includes, but is not limited to felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence
committed by a current or former spouse of the victim or by a person who is cohabitating with
or has cohabited with the victim. In 2013, the Newport Beach Police Department responded to
a total of 175 calls related to domestic violence. Of these calls, 164 of these domestic incidents
did not involve a weapon.
Human trafficking is a crime that involves the forceful, fraudulent or coercive methods of

exploitative nature can come in the form of labor services, involuntary servitude, enslavement,
debt bondage or commercial sex acts. As of December 2012, the Orange County Human
Trafficking Task Force reported a total of 213 incidents of human trafficking in Orange County.
PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of a life -
threatening event such as military combat, natural disaster, terrorist incident, serious accident,
physical or sexual assault. Most survivors of trauma experience a variety of symptoms for a
short period of time. However, others will have stress reactions that do not subside on their
own and may get worse over time.lncluding the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities
(mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons
with HIV /AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the
jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs
To determine the level of need and types of services needed by special needs populations, the
City conducted surveys, consulted with local service providers and reviewed ACS and CHAS
data. Supportive services required for special needs populations include case management,
medical or psychological counseling and supervision, childcare, transportation and job training
provided for the purpose of facilitating a person's stability and independence.
In housing, accessibility modifications to accommodate persons with mobility disabilities may
include, but are not limited to, wider doorways, no step thresholds, installation of ramps, grab
bars, lowered countertops and accessible hardware. The needs of residents with sensory
disabilities are different from those with mobility disabilities. Individuals with hearing
disabilities require visual adaptations for such items as the telephone ringer, the doorbell and
smoke alarms. Residents who are blind may require tactile marking of changes in floor level and
stair edges and braille markings on appliances and controls. People with low vision may require
large print markings and displays, contrasting colors to distinguish changes in level or transition
from one area to another, proper lighting, and reduced glare from lighting and windows.
For persons with special needs, the high cost of living in Orange County makes it very difficult
for to maintain a stable residence. Often this segment of the population relies on support
services from various Orange County nonprofit organizations to avoid becoming homeless or
institutionalized.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 102
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health
institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
Inadequate discharge planning and coordination contributes to homelessness in situations
where people are released from public institutions or public systems of care without having an
appropriate mainstream or supportive housing option is available upon discharge from an
institutional setting.
In other states such as North Carolina and Kentucky, discharge coordination and planning is a
matter of state law. In California, discharge coordination and planning is largely unregulated
unless county or municipal ordinances provide rules preventing public institutions from
discharging people into homelessness. One of the goals included in the Orange County Ten Year
Plan to End Homelessness is to support the development of community resources and housing
options so that hospitals, jails, and foster care programs can more effectively assist people
being discharged by providing appropriate referrals in order to facilitate smoother transition to
supportive or mainstream housing. The goal calls for the CoC to explore methods to increase
communication and coordination among institutions.
In some cases, licensed community care facilities provide a supportive housing environment to
persons with special needs in a group setting. According to the California Department of Social
Services Community Care Licensing Division, the only community care beds in Newport Beach
(405) are for elderly persons ages 60 or above contained within 13 facilities.
Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address
the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with
respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one -year
goals. 91.315(e)
See response below pertaining to entitlement cities.
For entitlement /consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to
undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs

have other special needs. Link to one -year goals. (91.220(2))
During the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan period, the Strategic Plan calls for the City to use CDBG
funds to support public services for people with special needs services including, but not limited
to those serving the elderly, frail elderly and victims of domestic violence or other needs.

MA -40 Barriers to Affordable Housing — 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment
A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains
the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing. Barriers can include 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 2013 -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.

MA -45 Non - Housing Community Development Assets — 91.215 (f)
Introduction
The City places a high priority on non - housing community development needs including those
associated with improving public facilities, such as senior center and ADA improvements.
During the implementation of the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan, the City will use CDBG funds to
address these needs and provide a suitable living environment for low- and moderate - income
people.
To expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate - income people and provide a
pathway out of poverty, the Strategic Plan and the 2015 -2016 Annual Action Plan include public
service programs that support family self- sufficiency, such as the Families Forward Housing
Program. This approach fulfills several needs in the community including housing instability and
ensuring that all persons have the opportunity to succeed without regard to family economic
status.

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
A diverse group of leading employers in healthcare, management, professional services,
education, research and retail in Newport Beach benefit from the ever growing opportunities
and expansion that the City offers as a result of access to professional offices, industrial parks,
and retail shopping centers. Recognizing that the business community needs a workforce that
is prepared for a 21st century global economy the City of Newport Beach is forward thinking
and consistently focusing on change and advancement, making it the ideal place to live and
work.
The business community in Newport Beach which includes, but is not limited to Hoag Memorial
Hospital, PIMCO, Glidewell Dental, and Pacific Life relies on a highly educated workforce. The
City of Newport Beach is fortunate to be located in an area that is home to 44 colleges and
universities. As a result, the City has a workforce that is ready to meet the needs of the
business community.
Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or
regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect
job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for
workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.
The City is constantly working on projects that not only benefit the residents of the area but
also have an economic impact to the area. As an example, the City is currently working with
Hyundai Capital to establish their offices at 4000 McArthur Boulevard. The project calls for
Hyundai Corporation occupying all ten floors of the office tower. In addition, the City is working
with the developers of 4311 Jamboree Road to construct a mixed used project. The project is
located on a 25 acre site and would include a mixed -use residential development with up to
1,244 residential units (townhomes and apartments) and 11,500 square feet of retail space.
The project will begin construction in late summer 2015.

OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment
opportunities in the jurisdiction?
The majority of employees in the civilian labor force have a post- secondary education, which is
beneficial because the fastest growing occupational sectors offer jobs that require higher
education and training. Generally, the skills and education of the current workforce in Newport
Beach correspond to the employment opportunities in the City. With the wide variety of job
opportunities available in the City, Newport Beach's current workforce place a high importance
on proximity to employment, with 73 percent of the workforce commuting less than 30
minutes to work each day according to Table 46.
Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce
Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts
will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
The Newport Beach Valley College Community Education ( IVCEE) office located at 5500
Newport Beach Center Drive contributes to economic vitality by providing training, education,
and community based programs that lead to success, employment and positive growth. This
office provides services for the Community Adult Education Program, which includes the
Workforce Training Program, Building Businesses Program, Writing, Computers and Social
Sports Activities. IVCCE programs are available to assist low- and moderate - income people with
regard to business assistance skills and vocational training along with various other forms of
assistance.
Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
(CEDS)?
Yes
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated
with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local /regional plans or initiatives that
impact economic growth.
The City of Newport Beach was included as part of the CEDS prepared by the Orange County
Workforce Investment Board ( OCWIB) for 2013 -2018. Every five years, OCWIB develops the
CEDS for the region to present the current condition of the Orange County economy and its
impact on residents and businesses. The analysis identifies economically vulnerable areas
suitable for economic development investment by considering indicators such as
unemployment, income and education as well as infrastructure, business activity and economic
competitiveness relative to other markets.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 110
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015)
The 2013 -2018 CEDS identifies several goals to promote the expansion of economic opportunity
in Orange County. The CEDS identifies geographic locations with higher unemployment and
substantially lower levels of income relative to the rest of the County in order to target future
economic development projects or other investments. Although the City of Newport Beach is
not specifically identified as a Red -Zone (cities or census tracts with abnormally high
unemployment rates or per capita income levels far below the standard), the City has adopted
the goals put forth by the CEDS. The goals put forth by the CEDS are as follows:
Goal 1: Advance the Lives of Red -Zone Residents
Goal 2: Provide World -Class Education and Workforce Opportunities
Goal 3: Plan and Develop State -of- the -Art Infrastructure
Goal 4: Promote Competitive and Growing Clusters
Goal 5: Improve Orange County's Economic Competitiveness in a Global Economy
The 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan includes a strategy that provides for CDBG capital
improvement funds for the Commercial Fagade Improvement Program. The Commercial
FaSade Improvement Program will contribute to a stronger retail environment and promote
economic and job opportunities for local low- and moderate income residents.
Discussion
Newport Beach's location at the center of Orange County and adjacent to Los Angeles, San
Diego and Riverside Counties makes it a highly desirable location for a wide variety of
businesses. In addition, Newport Beach's infrastructure, focus on safety, and highly skilled
workforce make it an ideal place for small and large companies to call home. In fact, Newport
Beach is home to a variety of world class companies including but not limited to PIMCO,
Glidewell Dental, Pacific Life, Jazz Semiconductor and Fletcher Jones Motor Cars.

MA -50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated?
(include a definition of "concentration ")
Based on a review of CPD Maps, there are no specific areas of the City where multiple housing
problems are concentrated. All Census Tracts in the City experience cost burden to some
extent. Evaluation of maps showing housing overcrowding and substandard housing did not
reveal discernable concentrations, although housing overcrowding is more prevalent for
extremely -low income households in the low- and moderate - income Census Tract Block
Groups.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low- income
families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration ")
According to Figure 14, there are two Census Tracts that have a higher level of concentration of
people of Asian descent. These two Census Tracts are located in the easterly part of the City
with between 11.99 and 27.12 percent of the Asian population concentrated in that area.
There are no neighborhoods or Census Tracts with high concentrations of low- income families
in in Newport Beach. As a result, HUD considers the City as an exception community.
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas /neighborhoods?
Generally, Newport Beach is comprised of multi - cultural mixed income neighborhoods. In the
Census Tracts that contain a higher concentration of the Asian in terms of race, the housing and
economic indicators are generally consistent with the City as a whole according to CPD Maps
data.
Are there any community assets in these areas /neighborhoods?
Each neighborhood throughout the City of Newport Beach contains its own unique community
assets including open space, trails, recreational areas, schools, job centers, retail and
restaurants.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?
There are no readily apparent strategic opportunities to be addressed with CDBG funds specific
to any of these neighborhoods.

Strategic Plan
SP -05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
The Strategic Plan is a guide for the City of Newport Beach to establish its housing and
community development priorities, objectives and strategies for the investment of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) over the next five years, beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2020.
The priority needs and goals established in this Strategic Plan (Plan) are based on analysis of
information including the results of the City's 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment
Survey and housing and community development data elements required by HUD in the online
Consolidated Plan system (the eCon Planning Suite) from the 2007 -2011 American Community
Survey (ACS) 5 -Year Estimates and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS)
covering the same time period. Additional sources of information used to identify needs and
establish priorities were obtained through consultation with local nonprofit agencies involved
in the development of affordable housing and the delivery of public services to children,
families, elderly persons and persons with special needs throughout the community.
In consideration of community input and available data, the six priority needs listed below are
established as part of this Plan.
• Ensure equal access to housing opportunities
• Provide public services for low- income residents
• Provide public services for residents with special needs
• Prevent and eliminate homelessness
• Strengthen Economic Opportunity
• Improve public facilities and infrastructure
Consistent with HUD's national goals for the CDBG programs to provide decent housing
opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for
low- and moderate - income residents, the priority needs listed above will be addressed over the
next five years through the implementation of CDBG funded activities aligned with the
following nine measurable Strategic Plan goals:
• Fair housing services
• Public services
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 113
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
• Special needs services
• Homelessness prevention services
• Commercial facade improvements
• Public facilities and infrastructure improvements
Historically, the City of Newport Beach has used the CDBG programs to fund nonprofit agencies
that provide direct services to City of Newport Beach residents. Over the next five years, the
City will continue this emphasis and will also use these resources to support City sponsored
programs and activities that support the goals and objectives of this Plan.

According to data from the 2007 -2011 American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates in HUD's
eCon Planning Suite for the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan, the City's household median income
is $108,946. Evaluation of maps generated through HUD's Community Planning and
Development mapping system (CPD Maps) reveals that each of the Census Tracts in the City of
Newport Beach has a median household income of $80,000 or more with the exception of the
western most Census Tract. The lower median income level in the area may be attributed to
the large number of renter occupied units combined with the larger percentage of structures
with 20 plus units.
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;
therefore, no geographic priorities are established within the Consolidated Plan and allocation
priorities will be driven by citywide need.

Rehabilitation
The City will invest other local, state or federal funding sources in addressing
residential rehabilitation needs to preserve the supply of ownership housing.
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.

eligible for newly acquired and rehabilitated affordable housing units. The City of
Newport Beach will use other local, state or federal resources during the period of
this Consolidated Plan to acquire or preserve housing units to create additional
affordability in the community.

Table 55 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 127
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed
above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and
families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth)
The City of Newport Beach's CDBG public service programs implemented by local nonprofit
service providers may include activities focused on the provision of services to address the
needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals, families with children,
veterans and their families and unaccompanied youth. Homelessness prevention and
supportive services for special needs populations are included among the priority needs in this
Strategic Plan and activities serving these populations may be funded as part of the Annual
Action Plan each year.
Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population
and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed
above
Newport Beach has established successful partnerships among public and private sector
entities in Orange County providing services for the homeless and other special needs
populations. Communication and cooperation between the Planning Division of the City of
Newport Beach Community Development Department - Planning Division and the partner
agencies and organizations that administer activities is strong. The Planning Division works
closely with these organizations to improve regulatory compliance, monitoring, cooperation
and partnerships among agencies and technical capacity of organizations involved in project
delivery.
With a wide variety of service providers available to address the needs of homeless populations
and special needs populations, the single most significant gap in the service delivery system
remains the lack of available funding to support these local programs. In Newport Beach, this
funding is limited to 15 percent of the annual allocation of CDBG funds. The City is not a direct
recipient of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds; therefore, most of the HUD funding to
address homelessness is available through the County of Orange and the CoC. State funding has
been drastically reduced by several years of fiscal challenges for the State of California; private
sources have diminished as foundation endowments have suffered in recent years. Finally, as
the City's HUD grants have steadily declined over the last 12 years, it has been difficult to
accommodate increasing levels of need in the community and increases in the cost of providing
services to homeless and special needs populations.

OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and
service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs
To address the lack of resources necessary to fully support local programs in Newport Beach for
special needs populations and persons experiencing homelessness, the City prioritizes services
for population segments with the greatest level of need for a particular program or activity and
intends to invest grant resources in high leverage opportunities where data suggests that the
City and its partners will be able to maximize the impact of every dollar.

Need to Increase the Number of Accessible Units (if Required by a Section 504 Voluntary
Compliance Agreement)
The OCHA does not have a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement. OCHA is actively
seeking opportunities for additional VASH, NED and other vouchers that serve disabled
residents.
OCHA also takes the following steps proactively to serve the needs of disabled residents:
• When requested by an individual, assist program applicants and participants to gain
access to support services available within the community, but not require eligible
applicant or participant to accept supportive services as a condition of continued
participation in the program.
• Not deny persons who qualify for a Housing Choice Voucher under this program other
housing opportunities, or otherwise restrict access to OCHA programs to eligible
applicants who choose not to participate.
• Provide housing search assistance when requested. Lists of available units that include
accessible units for persons with disabilities are provided to participants. This list is
updated weekly and is available in the Lobby. Upon request, a referral list may also be
obtained by email, or by fax.
• In accordance with rent reasonableness requirements, approve higher rents to owners
that provide accessible units with structural modifications for persons with disabilities.
• Provide technical assistance, through referrals to the Fair Housing Council of Orange
County, to owners interested in making reasonable accommodations or units accessible
to persons with disabilities.
Activities to Increase Resident Involvements
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.

SP -55 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains
the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing. Barriers can include 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 2013 -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.
Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the
City has established a Task Force that along with staff continually investigate and research
potential new affordable housing opportunities to add to its inventory of affordable housing
stock. This includes offering incentives to developers of affordable housing, including density
bonuses, fee waivers, expedited permit processing, and the use of funds from the Affordable
Housing Fund.
In light of limited monetary resources available to create new affordable housing units and the
continuing recovery of the Southern California housing market after the recent recession,
housing affordability will remain a significant challenge during the 2015 -2019 Consolidated
Plan.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 135
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
SP -60 Homelessness Strategy — 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through
coordination of regional strategies carried out locally by government agencies and a wide
variety of community based organizations and faith -based groups. Consistent with this
approach, the City of Newport Beach supports the efforts of Orange County Continuum of Care
(CoC) and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout Orange County. In
alignment with this strategy, the City will use CDBG funds to support local service providers
with programs to prevent homelessness and to expand the supply of affordable housing in
Newport Beach for low- and moderate - income residents.
According to the Ten -Year Plan to End Homelessness in Orange County adopted in 2012 (Ten -
Year Plan), the CoC is in the process of implementing several regional strategies that will
enhance local coordination to more effectively assist people in need. To more rapidly identify
and assess people experiencing homelessness, the CoC is working to create regional homeless
access centers that will offer fully coordinated systems of outreach and will facilitate universal
assessment, intake, referral and transportation to resources. The CoC is also developing
resources of information (such as 2 -1 -1) to better serve individuals who are homeless or at risk
of becoming homeless. In addition, the CoC is working to implement a database using real time
information from intake and assessment that is housed in the Homeless Management
Information System (HIMS). Collectively these strategies will help minimize duplication of effort
and better connect the most vulnerable individuals and families, chronically homeless, and
people at risk of becoming homeless to appropriate resources.
Since the adoption of the Ten -Year Plan in 2012, the CoC has taken initial steps toward fully
coordinated systems of outreach and assessment. The merger of OC Partnerships and 2 -1 -1 OC
immediately resulted in the creation of a single, comprehensive information and referral
system. The CoC also completed the inventory of existing access centers in Orange County and
developed a map showing the locations of each access center. The CoC also conducts
informational outreach presentations concerning homelessness in Orange County throughout
the community.
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The ultimate solution to ending homelessness is transitional to permanent housing closely
aligned with supportive services that ensure housing stability can be maintained. However,
because the demand for affordable housing far outpaces the region's supply, the CoC continues
to rely on its emergency and transitional housing system in order to address the immediate
needs of Orange County's homeless population.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 136
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Under the Ten -Year Plan, the CoC is improving the efficacy of emergency shelters and the
access system until a year -round permanent emergency shelter can be established to replace
various seasonal emergency shelters and the County's Armory Cold Weather Shelter program.
In 2013, the CoC and County identified $4.5 million in local funds to support the development
of year -round emergency shelters and multi- service centers in Orange County. Over the next
five years the CoC and the County will continue to search for an appropriate location for this
new shelter.
For transitional housing, the Ten -Year Plan recognizes a need to maintain a level of transitional
housing for the target populations that benefit most from a staged approach to housing, such
as mentally ill and chronically homeless individuals. While the CoC continues to support
transitional housing in special circumstances, the CoC is currently examining ways to shorten
stays in emergency shelters and transitional housing so that resources may be used for rapid re-
housing or placement in permanent supportive housing.
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.
In support of CoC efforts, this Strategic Plan provides for the use of CDBG funds to support
activities implemented by local nonprofit organizations that provide services to help prevent
and eliminate homelessness, including families at risk of homelessness, veterans, victims of
domestic violence and emancipated foster youth. The City will also leverage CDBG funds to
expand the supply of affordable housing in Newport Beach.
Additional efforts are underway at the regional level to shorten the period of time that
individuals and families are experience homelessness and to prevent individuals and families
who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. In 2013, 2 -1 -1 OC hosted a
regional workshop to analyze the resources and funding being used to operate transitional
housing programs and consider how these resources could be used more in alignment with the
best practices (i.e. rapid re- housing and permanent housing) for ending homelessness. Many
transitional housing providers are working with the Commission to End Homelessness to
evaluate strategies to lower program threshold requirements and improve outcomes including
shorter shelter stays and more rapid transitions to permanent housing.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 137
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Help low- income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low- income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being
discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving
assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education or youth needs
An individual or family is considered to be at -risk of becoming homeless if it experiences
extreme difficulty maintaining their housing and has no reasonable alternatives for obtaining
subsequent housing. Homelessness often results from a complex set of circumstances that
require people to choose between food, shelter and other basic needs. Examples of common
circumstances that can cause homelessness include eviction, loss of income, insufficient
income, disability, increase in the cost of housing, discharge from an institution, irreparable
damage or deterioration to housing, and fleeing from family violence.
The most effective and cost efficient means to address homelessness is to prevent episodes of
homelessness from occurring in the first place. Orange County's current CoC system encourages
services aimed at reducing incidences of homelessness, including:
• Emergency Rental and Utility Assistance: Short -term financial assistance to prevent
eviction and utility shut -off.
• Credit Counseling: Financial counseling and advocacy to assist households to repair
credit history.
• Legal /Mediation Services: Tenant - landlord legal /mediation services to prevent eviction.
• Food Banks and Pantries: Direct provision of food, toiletries and other necessities.
• Transportation Assistance: Direct provision of bus vouchers and other forms of
transportation assistance.
• Clothing Assistance: Direct provision of clothing for needy families and individuals.
• Prescription /Medical /Dental Services: Direct provision of prescription, medical and
dental services.
• Workforce Development: Direct provision of job training services designed to develop
and enhance employment skills, as well as to help clients secure and retain living wage
jobs.
• Information & Referral Services: Direct provision of 24- hour /7- days -a -week call center
services to provide health and human service information to at -risk populations.
• Recuperative care for homeless individuals who become ill or injured.

SP -65 Lead based paint Hazards — 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards
The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention
of childhood lead poisoning through housing -based approaches. This strategy requires the City
to implement programs that protect children living in older housing from lead hazards.
Overall, the City has a relatively older housing stock, with 24,274 of the City's 38,048 total
housing units (63.8 percent) built before 1980 according to ACS data. These units have the
potential to contain lead -based paint. In these units, the best way to have reasonable assurance
that lead -based paint hazards are not present is to have the painted surfaces tested.
According to the standard lead paint testing costs, a typical lead -based paint screening survey
costs approximately $450. To reduce lead -based paint hazards, the City of Newport Beach takes
the following actions:
• Monitor the lead- poisoning data maintained by the Orange County Department of
Health Services (OCDHS). According to OCDHS, there were 13 incidents of Newport
Beach children with blood lead levels greater than 9.5 micrograms per deciliter from
2009 -2013.
• Educate residents on the health hazards of lead -based paint through the use of
brochures and encourage screening children for elevated blood -lead levels.
• Disseminate brochures about lead hazards through organizations such as the Fair

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards?
Over time, the actions listed above will promote greater awareness of the hazards of lead -
based paint to children and will also address unsafe housing conditions in pre -1978 units where
children may potentially be exposed to lead -based paint hazards.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures?
The City of Newport Beach does not currently implement a Residential Rehabilitation Program,
however if they are to implement such a program in the future, 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.

SP -70 Anti - Poverty Strategy — 91.2150)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty -Level Families
Similar to other communities in Orange County and across the nation, poverty continues to be a
significant challenge. According to the 2007 -2011 American Community Survey 5 -Year
Estimates, there are 6,007 Newport Beach residents living in poverty. In an effort to
meaningfully address this challenge, all nine goals of the 2015 -2019 Strategic Plan are aligned
to support activities that promote the availability of affordable housing and provide essential
services that directly benefit low- and moderate - income residents. In the implementation of
the Plan, the City will prioritize funding for activities that most effectively address the Plan goals
over the next five years. This strategy will emphasize using CDBG funds to help individuals and
families rise out of poverty to long -term self- sufficiency.
The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals established in this 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 the City's Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance (which
makes affordable housing an integral part of every newly constructed residential project
in the City;
• Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and
eliminate homelessness;
• Supporting housing preservation programs through the County that assure low income
households have a safe, decent and appropriate place to live;
• Supporting public services through the 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 City's Commercial Fagade 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.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 140
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this
affordable housing plan
Newport Beach and much of Orange County is a high housing cost area. Although housing costs
temporarily declined and became more affordable during the recent economic recession, rents
in Newport Beach have since surpassed their pre- recession levels and are currently out of reach
for many individuals and families. National funding limitations on Section 8 Housing Choice
Vouchers and long application wait lists for both conventional public housing and City
sponsored affordable housing limit the number of families in poverty that can benefit from
these programs.
The goals of the Plan are aligned to benefit low- and moderate - income residents in an effort to
reduce the number of poverty -level families. The Youth Services, Senior Services and Special
Needs Services goals will each fund activities targeted to families in poverty and other low- and
moderate - income households with specific service needs. Providing this range of targeted
services allows children, families and seniors in Newport Beach appropriate support and
resources to rise from poverty and become more self- sufficient.

SP -80 Monitoring- 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities
carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long -term compliance with
requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the
comprehensive planning requirements
To ensure that CDBG funds are used efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulations,
the City provides technical assistance to all subrecipients at the beginning of each program year
and monitors subrecipients throughout the program year.
Technical Assistance
To enhance compliance with federal program regulations, the City provides an annual Notice of
Funding Availability (NOFA) workshop to review the Plan goals, program requirements and
available resources with potential applicants. Subsequent to the approval of the Annual Action
Plan, a mandatory subrecipient workshop is held to review program regulations in detail, to
provide useful forms and resources for documenting compliance and to review the City's
compliance procedures and requirements. Additionally, individualized technical assistance is
provided on an as- needed basis throughout a program year.
Activity Monitoring
All activities are monitored, beginning with a detailed review upon receipt of an application to
determine eligibility, conformance with a National Objective and conformance with a Plan goal.
This review also examines the proposed use of funds, eligibility of the service area, eligibility of
the intended beneficiaries and likelihood of compliance with other federal requirements such
as the National Environmental Policy Act, the System for Award Management (SAM) debarment
list, prevailing wage, Minority and Women Business Enterprise, Section 3 and federal
acquisition and relocation regulations, as applicable.
Subrecipients are required to submit an audit and other documentation to establish their
capacity, and any findings noted in the audit are reviewed with the applicant. Eligible
applications are then considered for funding. Once funded, desk monitoring includes ongoing
review of required quarterly performance reports. For CDBG public service activities, an on -site
monitoring is conducted once every two (2) years, or more frequently as needed to ensure
compliance. These reviews include both a fiscal and programmatic review of the subrecipient's
activities. The reviews determine if the subrecipient is complying with the program regulations
and City contract. Areas routinely reviewed include overall administration, financial systems,
appropriateness of program expenditures, program delivery, client eligibility determination and
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 142
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
documentation, reporting systems, and achievement toward achieving contractual goals.
Following the monitoring visit, a written report is provided delineating the results of the review
and any findings of non - compliance and the required corrective action. Subrecipients normally
have 30 days to provide the City with corrective actions taken to address any noted findings.
Individualized technical assistance is provided, as noted above, as soon as compliance concerns
are identified. For CDBG capital projects, monitoring also includes compliance with regulatory
agreement requirements.

Affordable Housing
AP -55 Affordable Housing — 91.220(g)
Introduction
Although there are two high priority affordable housing needs that have been identified in the
2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan, the City of Newport Beach will attempt to leverage other funding
sources such as the Affordable Housing Trust Fund to address the priority needs associated with
affordable housing needs identified below.
Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing
Based on evaluation of 2007 -2011 ACS and CHAS data, there is a high 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 the City's
Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance, which makes affordable housing an integral part of every newly
constructed residential project in the City, to fund future affordable housing projects.
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:
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 154
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
• 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.

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. The data presented in the
tables below is for Newport Beach and the narrative responses address the needs for the entire
county, with specific references to the City of Newport Beach.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
In the upcoming five years, OCHA's goals are
• Apply for additional housing assistance funding and programs that may become
available.
• Explore the use of Project -Based Housing Choice Vouchers or other housing funds to
promote the construction or acquisition activities that will result in additional units or
developments that will 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

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 2015 -2016 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 26, 2013, on any given night in Orange County,
approximately 4,300 people are homeless, and over a course of a year, more than 12,700
people will 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 (165 people)
• Human Options: Community Domestic Violence Services (10 people)
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 158
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
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 165 unduplicated people.
Additionally, the City supports Human Options, an organization providing emergency shelter
and support services to victims of domestic violence. The Human Options Family Healing Center
is an on -site short -term transitional housing program with five self- contained apartments for
abused women and their children who have successfully completed the 30 -45 day emergency
shelter program and are eligible to participate in the Family Healing Center program for up to
three months.
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 WISEPlace.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
To address the needs of homeless families, families with children, veterans and their families,
the City 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 165 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.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 159
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015)
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 2013 -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 2013 -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.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 161
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Discussion:
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the
City will invest other local, state and federal funds, such as the City's Affordable Housing Trust
Fund and the City's Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance, which makes affordable housing an integral
part of every newly constructed residential project in the City, to fund future affordable
housing projects 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.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 162
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
AP -85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
Introduction:
In the implementation of the 2015 -2016 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 2015 -2016 Action Plan in projects that provide assistance to those
with special needs, projects that prevent homelessness, and strengthen economic
opportunities for low- and moderate - income residents. To address underserved needs, the City
is allocating 100 percent of its non - administrative CDBG investments for program year 2015-
2016 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate - income people or people
presumed under HUD regulations to be low- and moderate - income.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
In the implementation of the 2015 -2016 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.
Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards
The City of Newport Beach does not currently implement a Residential Rehabilitation Program,
however if they are to implement such a program in the future, 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:
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 163
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
• Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and
moderate - income households, including the City's Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance (which
makes affordable housing an integral part of every newly constructed residential project
in the City);
• 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
agencies. Public service activities will be carried out by nonprofit organizations to achieve the
Strategic Plan goals. The Planning Division and the Engineering 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.
Consolidated Plan NEWPORT BEACH 164
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
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 2015 -2016 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.

Citizen Participation Plan
Citizen Participation and Consultation Plan

federal funds for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The Citizen
Participation Plan covers the five -year Consolidated Plan, each subsequent Annual Action
Plan, each year's Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report and any
amendments to the Consolidated Plan or its five Annual Action Plans. Developed as a
stand -alone document in conformance with the requirements set forth at 24 CFR 91.105,
the City's Citizen Participation Plan is as follows:
Purpose of and Accessibility to the Citizen Participation Plan
The City of Newport Beach is an entitlement jurisdiction receiving Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds directly from the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). Pursuant to the program regulations, the City is
required to prepare a five -year Consolidated Plan and annual updates to guide and
report on the use of CDBG funds. Annual reviews of program performance are also
required.
This Citizen Participation Plan sets forth the City of Newport Beach's policies and
procedures for citizen participation in the development of the Consolidated Plan
documents and any subsequent amendments. The Citizen Participation Plan provides
an opportunity for nonprofit service agencies and the community to work in partnership
with the City to identify needs and allocate CDBG funds. While this plan encourages
the participation of all citizens, special assurances will be made to ensure the
participation of the following: extremely low -, low -, and moderate - income persons;
persons living in areas where federal funds are proposed to be used; persons living in
slum and blighted areas (if any); residents of assisted housing; residents of
predominantly low- and moderate - income neighborhoods; low income residents of
target revitalization areas; minorities; non - English speaking persons; and persons with
physical or mental disabilities. Upon request, the Community Development
Department - Planning Division will make the necessary accommodations to make an
accessible copy of this written Citizen Participation Plan available to persons with
disabilities.

income persons. City staff and officials are stewards of this public money and will
openly discuss all records, except those confidential records protecting a household's
privacy.
4. Decision Making Bodies

and assessing the CDBG programs /activities related to public service, capital
expenditures, and administration expenditures. In addition, the CDBG Advisory

Additionally, the City must attest to its compliance with the acquisition and
relocation requirements of the Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended,
and implementing regulations at 49 CFR 24, as effectuated by the City's
adopted Residential Anti - Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan, as
required under Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974, as amended. The City's CDBG Residential Anti - Displacement
and Relocation Assistance Plan may be found in Section B of this document.
Plan Review and Comment
The draft Citizen Participation Plan shall be made available for public review
for a 30 -day period. Written comments will be accepted during the 30 -day
public review. A summary of the comments, views, and City responses shall
be attached to the public hearing draft of the Citizen Participation Plan.
Public Hearing
City of Newport Beach 3 Citizen Participation Plan
The City Council shall conduct a public hearing to accept public comments on
the draft Citizen Participation Plan. After public comments are heard and
considered by the City Council, it shall approve the Citizen Participation Plan.
ii. Plan Amendment
The City can make amendments to the Citizen Participation Plan through the
following amendment process:
Public Hearing
The City Council shall conduct a public hearing to accept public comments on
the draft amended Citizen Participation Plan. After public comments are heard
and considered by the City Council, it shall approve the amended Citizen
Participation Plan.
b. Five -Year Consolidated Plan
i. Plan Development
During the development of the Five -Year Consolidated Plan, the City will
consult the following services /agencies to solicit their input on housing and
community development needs:
• Local health services providers
• Social service providers including but not limited to those concerning
children, elderly, disabled, homeless and persons with HIV /AIDS
• The homeless Continuum of Care
• State and local health agencies
• Adjacent local governments
• Economic development interests including businesses and chambers of
commerce
Community and faith -based organizations
■ Public Housing Agencies
■ Housing developers
A variety of mechanisms may be utilized to solicit input from these persons,

interviews, mail surveys and consultation workshops.
ii. Public Review and Comment
City of Newport Beach 4 Citizen Participation Plan
The draft Consolidated Plan will be made available for public review for a 30-
day period. Written comments will be accepted during the 30 -day public
review. A summary of the comments and views, and City responses shall be
attached to the Consolidated Plan.
iii. Public Hearings
The City will conduct a public hearing /meeting to accept public input on
community needs during the development stage of the draft Consolidated
Plan. The City Council will also conduct one (1) public hearing to accept
comments on the draft Consolidated Plan which will be provided for public
review for a 30 -day period prior to the public hearing (see above).
iv. Plan Amendment
Substantial Change
The City will formally amend its approved Five -Year Consolidated Plan
whenever a decision is made to propose a substantial change in allocation
priorities or method of distribution of funds.
For the purpose of the Five -Year Consolidated Plan, a "substantial change"
will constitute a cumulative change equal to or in excess of 20% of the City's
CDBG entitlement for a program year.
For example, if the Five -Year Consolidated Plan's Priority Needs Summary
Table indicates a "Low Priority Need" for multi - family housing rehabilitation,
and during the five -year time frame, the City changes the priority level to
"High" in order to implement a multi - family rehabilitation program using 20% or
more of the City's annual CDBG allocation; this change would constitute a
substantial change to the Five -Year Consolidated Plan and a formal
amendment to the Plan is required.
Changes in the allocation priorities not amounting to 20% of the entitlement
will not be considered as a substantial change to the Five -Year Consolidated
Plan; therefore, no formal amendment to the Plan requiring public review and
comment will be warranted. City Council approval of the priority changes is
still required.
However, if a program or type of programs is indicated in the Five -Year
Consolidated Plan as "No Such Need," the City will need to amend the
Consolidated Plan in order to implement the program(s) regardless of the level
of funding. A change from "No Such Need" to a Low, Medium, or High level
priority is considered by HUD as a substantial amendment to the Consolidated
Plan.
v. Public Review and Comment
Substantial amendments to the Consolidated Plan will be made available for a
30 -day public review. Written comments will be accepted during the 30 -day
City of Newport Beach 5 Citizen Participation Plan
public review period. A summary of the comments and views, and City
responses must be attached to the amendment.
vi. Public Hearings
The City Council will conduct one (1) public hearing /meeting to accept public
input on any amendment to the Consolidated Plan.
c. Annual Action Plan
i. Plan Development
In addition to Newport Beach residents, the City will ensure that public
(including City staff) and private agencies that provide the following services
will be consulted in the development of the Action Plan:
• Local health services providers
• Social service providers including but not limited to those concerning:
children, elderly, disabled, homeless and persons with HIV /AIDS
• The homeless Continuum of Care
■ State and local health agencies
■ Adjacent local governments
■ Economic development interests including businesses and chambers of
commerce
Community and faith -based organizations
• Public Housing Agencies
• Housing developers
These persons /service providers /agencies will be contacted and brought into
the process in the following manner:
Each year, the City will send a written Notice of Funding Availability
(NOFA) to each cooperating department and nonprofit agency advising
them that the planning cycle has begun for CDBG funds, and that the City
is accepting project proposals.
• City staff will conduct outreach to special interest groups in Newport
Beach, such as senior citizens and the disabled, and make presentations
on the Action Plan to these groups where necessary.
• The City will conduct an eligibility analysis on all project proposals
submitted and review the eligible proposals for service provider grants.
City of Newport Beach 6 Citizen Participation Plan
The review for funding consideration will be conducted by the CDBG
Advisory Committee.
ii. Public Review and Comment
The draft Action Plan incorporating the City's proposed uses of CDBG funds
will be made available for public review for a 30 -day period. Written comments
will be accepted during the 30 -day public review. A summary of the comments
and views, and City responses will be attached to the Action Plan.
iii. Public Hearings
The CDBG Advisory Committee may hold a public meeting to discuss the
eligible project proposals and funding recommendations for both public
service grant and capital outlay projects, and make funding decisions. The
City Council will conduct one (1) public hearing to accept comments on the
draft Action Plan which will be provided for public review for a 30 -day period
(see above).
iv. Action Plan Amendment
Substantial Change:
The City will formally amend its approved Action Plan whenever a decision is
made to propose a substantial change to the Plan, either by:
• Carrying out an activity not previously described in the Action Plan;
• Canceling an activity previously described in the Action Plan;
• Increasing or decreasing the amount to be expended on a particular
activity from the amount stated in the Action Plan by more than 20
percent; or
• Substantially changing the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an

percent will not be considered as a substantial change to the Annual Action
Plan; no formal amendment to the Action Plan requiring public review and
comment will be warranted. However, City Council approval of the activity
funding changes is still required.
v. Public Review and Comment

City of Newport Beach 11 Citizen Participation Plan
to reduce the number of persons displaced. Further, they must clearly demonstrate
that the goals and anticipated accomplishments of a project outweigh the adverse
effects of displacement imposed on persons who must relocate.
Displacement Assistance
Consistent with the goals and objectives of the CDBG program, the City will take all
reasonable steps necessary to minimize displacement of persons, even temporarily. If
displacement occurs, the City will provide relocation assistance to all persons directly,
involuntarily, and permanently displaced according to HUD regulations.
If the City temporarily displaces a low- or moderate - income household, that household
becomes eligible for certain relocation payments. The assistance applies to those
persons residing in the residence at the time the application is processed and is based
on the following procedures:
• If the structure and its occupants are determined eligible for temporary
relocation assistance, the owner- occupants and tenants are eligible for the
actual reasonable cost (based on fair market rent) of temporary lodging
facilities until the structure is determined habitable by the City's housing
inspector.
The City must approve housing and the Lessor and Lessee must sign a rent
agreement before move -in. Housing must be comparable functionally to the
displacement dwelling and be decent, safe, and sanitary. This does not mean
that the housing must be in comparable size. The term "functionally
equivalent' means that it performs the same function, has the same principal
features present, and can contribute to a comparable style of living. Approved
lodging accommodations include apartments and houses. The City does not
reimburse `rental expenses" for living with a friend or family member.
Either the City will provide the owner - occupants and tenants a direct payment
for moving expenses (to and from temporary housing) and storage costs, or
the City will arrange moving and storage of furniture with a moving company.
If the City makes a direct payment, complete documentation and receipts are
necessary to process claims when storage costs exceed the amount
assumed by the direct payment.
• Damage deposits, utility hookups, telephone hookups and insurance costs
are not eligible for reimbursement.
The City may pay the cost of relocation assistance from federal funds or
funds available from other sources.
8. One - For -One Replacement Dwelling Units
The City will generally avoid awarding funds for activities that may result in
displacement. However, should the City fund such an activity, specific documentation
is required to show the replacement of all occupied and vacant dwelling units
demolished or converted to another use. The City will assure that relocation assistance
is provided as described in 24 CFR 570.606(b)(2).

B. Anti - Displacement and Relocation Plan
The City's Citizen Participation Plan must include an Anti - displacement and Relocation Plan
that describes how it will help persons in the unlikely event that they must be temporarily
relocated or permanently displaced due to the use of CDBG funds. This may occur if the
City uses CDBG funds for projects that involve the following:
• Property acquisition.
• Potential displacement of people from their homes and the need to relocate people
(either permanently or temporarily).
• The demolition or conversion of low- and moderate - income dwelling units.
1. Background
Two acts apply whenever any of the above issues are present: the Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Policies Act of 1970 (URA) and Section 104(d) of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. Each of these acts places different
obligations on the City.
The URA governs the processes and procedures which the City and the Community
Development Department must follow to minimize the burden placed on low- and
moderate - income tenants, property owners, and business owners who must move
(either temporarily or permanently) as the result of a project funded in whole or in part
by the CDBG program.
The URA applies to:
• Displacement that results from acquisition, demolition, or rehabilitation for
HUD - assisted projects carried out by public agencies, nonprofit
organizations, private developers, or others.
• Real property acquisition for HUD - assisted projects (whether publicly or
privately undertaken).
• Creation of a permanent easement or right of way for HUD - assisted projects
(whether publicly or privately undertaken).
• Work on private property during the construction of a HUD - assisted project
even if the activity is temporary.
City of Newport Beach 13 Citizen Participation Plan
2. What is Displacement?
Displacement occurs when a person moves as a direct result of federally assisted
acquisition, demolition, conversion, or rehabilitation activities, because he or she is:
• Required to move, or
• Not offered a decent, safe, sanitary and affordable unit in the project, or
• Treated "unreasonably" as part of a permanent or temporary move.
• A person may also be considered displaced if the necessary notices are not
given or provided in a timely manner and the person moves for any reason.
3. What is a Displaced Person?
The term displaced person means any person that moves from real property or moves
his or her personal property from real property permanently as a direct result of one (1)
or more of the following activities:
• Acquisition of or written notice of intent to acquire, or initiation of negotiations
to acquire, such real property, in whole or in part, for a project.
• Rehabilitation or demolition of such real property for a project.
• Rehabilitation, demolition, or acquisition (or written notice of intent) of all or a
part of other real property on which the person conducts a business or farm
operation, for a project.
• The City offers advisory and financial assistance to eligible tenants (or
homeowners) who meet the above definition.
4. Persons Not Eligible for Assistance
A person is not eligible for relocation assistance under the provisions of the URA if any
of the following occurs:
a. The person was evicted for serious or repeated violations of the terms and
conditions of the lease or occupancy agreement, violation of applicable federal,
state, or local law, or other good cause. However, if the person was evicted only to
avoid the application of URA, then that person is considered displaced and is
eligible for assistance.
b. The person has no legal right to occupy the property under state or local law.
c. The City determines that the person occupied the property to obtain relocation
assistance and the HUD Field Office concurs in that determination.
d. The person is a tenant - occupant that moved into the property after a certain date,
specified in the applicable program regulation, and, before leasing and occupying
the property, the City or its subgrantee provided the tenant - occupant written notice
of the application for assistance, the project's impact on the person, and the fact
that he or she would not qualify as a "displaced person" because of the project.
City of Newport Beach 14 Citizen Participation Plan
e. The person is a tenant - occupant of a substandard dwelling that is acquired or a
tenant - occupant of a dwelling unit to which emergency repairs are undertaken and
the HUD field office concurs that:
• Such repairs or acquisition will benefit the tenant;
• Bringing the unit up to a safe, decent, and sanitary condition is not feasible;
• The tenant's new rent and average estimated monthly utility costs will not
exceed the greater of: the old rent/utility costs or 30 percent of gross
household income; and
• The project will not impose any unreasonable change in the character or use
of the property.
f. The person is an owner - occupant of the property who moves because of an "arm's
length" acquisition.
g. The City or its subgrantee notifies the person that they will not displace him or her
for the project.
h. The person retains the right of use and occupancy of the real property for life
following the acquisition.
i. The City determines that the person is not displaced as a direct result of the
acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition for the project and the HUD field office
concurs in the determination.
5. Minimizing Displacement
As a general philosophy, the City will take reasonable steps to minimize displacement
occurring as a result of its CDBG activities. This means that the Community
Development Department will:
• Consider if displacement will occur as part of funding decisions and project
feasibility determinations.
• Assure, whenever possible that occupants of buildings to be rehabilitated are
offered an opportunity to return.
• Plan substantial rehabilitation projects in "stages" to minimize displacement.
• Meet all HUD notification requirements so that affected persons do not move
because they have not been informed about project plans and their rights.
6. Anti - Displacement Policy:
The City's policy is to minimize, to the greatest extent feasible, the displacement,
whether permanently or temporarily, of persons (families, individuals, businesses,
nonprofit organizations, or farms) from projects funded with CDBG involving single- or
multi - family rehabilitation, acquisition, commercial rehabilitation, demolition, economic
development, or capital improvement activities.
Projects that the City deems beneficial but that may cause displacement may be
recommended and approved for funding only if the City or its subgrantee demonstrates
that such displacement is necessary and vital to the project and that they take efforts
City of Newport Beach 15 Citizen Participation Plan
a
Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or
conversion, the City will make public and submit to the HUD field office the following
information in writing:
a. A description of the proposed activity.
b. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size
(number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as
low- and moderate - income units.
c. A schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion
d. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size
(number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement units.
e. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement
dwelling units.
f. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low- and
moderate - income unit for at least ten years from the date of initial occupancy.
Consistent with the goals and objectives of the CDBG program, the City will take all
reasonable steps necessary to minimize displacement of persons from their homes.
The City will avoid funding projects that cause displacement of persons or businesses
and will avoid funding any project that involves the conversion of low- and moderate -
income housing to non - residential purposes.
Decent, Safe and Sanitary Dwelling
The basic definition is found at 49 CFR 24.2(a)(8). The term decent, safe, and sanitary
dwelling means a dwelling that meets the following standards and any other housing
and occupancy codes that are applicable. It will:
a. Be structurally sound, weather tight, and in good repair.
b. Contain a safe electrical wiring system adequate for lighting and other devices.
c. Contain a safe heating system capable of sustaining a healthful temperature for the
displaced person.
d. Be adequate to accommodate the displaced person. There will be a separate, well
lit, ventilated bathroom that provides privacy to the user and contains a toilet, sink,
and a bathtub or shower, all in good working order and properly connected to
appropriate sources of water and to a sewage drainage system. There should be a
kitchen area that contains a fully usable sink, properly connected to hot and cold
water and to a sewage drainage system, and adequate space and utility service
connections for a stove and refrigerator.
e. Contain unobstructed egress to safe, open space at ground level.
City of Newport Beach 17 Citizen Participation Plan
For a mobility- impaired person, be free of any barriers that would preclude
reasonable ingress, egress, or use of the dwelling by such person. This
requirement will be satisfied if the displaced person elects to relocate to a dwelling
that he or she selects and the displaced person determines that he or she has
reasonable ingress, egress, and the use of the dwelling.
g. Comply with lead -based paint requirements of 24 CFR Part 35.
10. Real Property Policies
The City and its CDBG recipients must follow specific guidelines regarding the
acquisition and use of real property funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds.
11. Use of Real Property
The following standards apply to real property within the recipient's control and
acquired or improved, in whole or in part, using CDBG funds. These standards will
apply from the date funds are first spent for the property until five years after the
project is audited and closed.
A recipient may not change the use of any such property (including the beneficiaries of
such use) from that for which the acquisition or improvement was made unless the
recipient gives affected citizens reasonable notice of, and opportunity to comment on,
any such proposed change, and either:
a. The use of such property qualifies as meeting a national objective and is not a
building for the general conduct of government.
b. If the recipient determines, after consultation with affected citizens, that it is
appropriate to change the use of property to a use that does not qualify under the
above paragraph, it may retain or dispose of the property. The City's CDBG
program must be reimbursed in the amount of the current fair market value of the
property less any portion attributable to expenditures of non - federal funds for the
acquisition of and improvements to the property.
c. Following the reimbursement of the federal program pursuant to the above
paragraph of this section, the property is no longer subject to any federal
requirements.
12. Real Property Acquisition
All real property acquisition activities described in this section and funded in whole or
in part with CDBG funds and all real property that must be acquired for an activity
assisted with federal funds, regardless of the actual funding source for the acquisition,
are subject to the URA (as amended).
a. What is Real Property Acquisition?
Real property acquisition is any acquisition by purchase, lease, donation, or
otherwise, including the acquisition of such interests as rights -of -way and
permanent easements.
HUD Handbook 1378 and 49 CFR Part 24 currently contains such regulations.
These regulations detail a standard procedure for acquiring property and methods
of determining a purchase price and outline other documents that must be provided
City of Newport Beach 18 Citizen Participation Plan
to the City before disbursement of funds. These regulations further require the
applicant to provide relocation payments and assistance to any business or
residential occupant of the property whom the acquisition will displace.
13. Eligible Activities
The City or its sub - grantee may acquire real property for a project using CDBG funds
where the proposed use of the acquired property will be an activity that the City can
demonstrate as beneficial to low- and moderate- income persons.
14. Environmental Review Process (24 CFR Part 58)
HUD requires that all real property acquisition projects be reviewed before the
commitment of federal funds to assess the impact of a project on the environment. The
City will undertake this review process. The applicant should be aware, however, that
this review process may delay the date by which CDBG funds may be available and, in
case of serious adverse environmental impacts, may effectively stop a project.
a. If the recipient determines, after consultation with affected citizens, that it is
appropriate to change the use of property to a use that does not qualify under the
above paragraph, it may retain or dispose of the property. The City's CDBG
program must be reimbursed in the amount of the current fair market value of the
property less any portion attributable to expenditures of non - federal funds for the
acquisition of and improvements to the property.
b. If the change of use occurs within five years of the project being audited and
closed, income from the disposition of the real property will be returned to the
City's CDBG program.
c. Following the reimbursement of the federal program pursuant to the above
paragraph of this section, the property is no longer subject to any federal
requirements.
