B. Resources
There are numerous potential sources of funding which might enable the City of Tustin to
address priority housing and community development needs and specific objectives identified
in the Strategic Plan component of the Consolidated Plan. However, actual financial resources
currently available to the City are somewhat limited. A variety of resources must be used to
attain the City's goals and objectives, described in the Consolidated Plan. Throughout the fiscal
year, the City will continue to pursue additional funding opportunities.
The City's goal is to leverage, to the maximum extent feasible, the use of available Federal, State,
and local funds with private monies in the creation of viable communities, development of
affordable housing, and the maintenance and preservation of existing housing. To ensure the
financial feasibility of a project, the City will consider the use of funds from other sources, such
as Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside Funds, to further affordable housing and community
development goals whenever a match, grant, or loan is necessary or appropriate.
The following resources are anticipated to be available for the 2002-03 fiscal year:

2002-03 Action Man
C. Activities to be Undertaken
CDBG monies allocated to the City for the 2002-03 funding year will not address all of the
community's priority needs. Instead, allocations are focused toward specific projects
addressing high community priorities and producing tangible community benefits.
The following are the needs rated by the community as high priorities and their relation to
the Five-Year priorities indicated in the Consolidated Plan. Included also are actions that
the City will undertake within the program year to address those needs. Table 3 summarizes
the City's priorities, objectives, and goals for the program year.
Housing Needs
Priority Activity Type A: First-time Homebuyers Program
The 1990 Census data as shown in Consolidated Plan Table I-D indicates that approximately 33
percent of the City's renters with low- and moderate-incomes are cost burdened, but less than 15
percent are severely cost-burdened. These conditions indicate that an oppommity may exist for
low- and moderate-income renter households to transition to becoming first-time homebuyers
with some assistance.
To address the above opportunities, various resources will be expended. Housing programs
currently assisted by the City include:
Programs:
Low Interest Rate/Low Down-payment Mortgages;
· Downpayment Assistance;
· Mortgage Credit Certificate Program.
Priority Type B: Preservation of Existing Affordable Units
The City will continue to preserve its existing affordable housing by utilizing CDBG funds
and other resources such as housing set-aside funds, and other Federal and State available
housing funds.
Programs:
· Assistance to potential nonprofit acquisition to expired Section 8 project-based
contracts.
City of Tustin
2002-03 Action Plan
Strategies:
Continue to preserve existing assisted housing.
Monitor the implementation of the affordable housing program adopted as a part of
the East Tustin Specific Plan.
Continue to require developers converting apartments to condominiums to process a
use permit, provide relocation assistance, and/or provide incentives and assistance for
purchase of the units by low- and moderate-income households.
Continue to provide housing referral services to families in need of housing assistance
and information.
Code enforcement. Funding is provided for code enforcement activities focused in
low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The code enforcement efforts support a
housing rehabilitation program funded with non-Federal monies.
Continue to provide opportunities for affordable granny flats and secondary residential
dwelling units in the single-family residential district lots through existing Zoning
Ordinance provisions.
Continue the provision of counseling and dispute resolution services by the Fair
Housing Council of Orange County.
Continue the provision of services by the Fair Housing Council of Orange County to
ensure equal housing opportunities within the City.
Ensure that processing of permits for low- and moderate-income housing are fast-
tracked with low- and moderate-income housing permits being given priority over
other permit applications.
Priority Activity Type C: Rehabilitation of Existing Housing Stock
As indicated in the Consolidated Plan, a large number of older housing units are located within the
South Central and Town Center redevelopment project areas. These older homes are in need of
rehabilitation. Currently rehabilitation programs have been targeting specific areas located in the
southwest portion of the City.
Programs:
Owner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants.
Multi-Family Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Conservation to Ownership Housing.
Rental Rehabilitation Loans and Grants.
City of Tustin
12
200203 Action Plan
· Small Project Multi-Family Rental Acquisition and Rehabilitation.
Strategies:
Require appropriate deed restrictions to ensure continued affordability for low- or
moderate-income housing constructed or rehabilitated with the assistance of public
or Redevelopment Agency funds, as legally required.
Allocate available CDBG and Redevelopment Agency funds to finance public
improvements and rehabilitation of residential units in the City's target areas.
Use 20 percent housing set-aside funds as subsidies (i.e. land write downs, acquisition,
and rehabilitation assistance grants and loans, etc.) from the South/Central
Redevelopment Project to reduce the affordability gap for developing new and
rehabilitating existing owner and rental units for low- and moderate-income
households.
Priority Activity Type D: New Housing Construction
With the exception of development opportunities that will occur on the MCAS-Tustin base site, the
City is mostly built out. Consequently, the City has limited opportunities for new ownership and
rental construction on infill sites in the City. This program would assist the development of affordable
units within newly constructed projects in either South Central or Town Center project areas.
Programs:
New Owner Housing Construction
New Senior Rental Construction
Strategy:
The City will assist in the development of affordable new owner or senior rental
housing. Priority would be given to ownership housing consistent with the City's
Housing policy.
The City will provide for mixed-use site opportunities in Old Town where new
ownership townhomes could be constructed.
The City will provide referrals to the Orange County Housing Authority where
necessary for the development and operation of Federally assisted low- and moderate-
income housing programs.

Community Development Needs
The Community Development needs are summarized below.
Priority: Youth Centers/Services
Youth centers/services have been identified by the community as essential to provide
recreational options to area youth. The target area for the CDBG program is severely limited
in its park and recreation resources available to area youth desiring to participate in
constructive, affordable, and organized activities.
City of Tustin
14
2002-03 A~on Plan
Program:
Tustin Family Youth Center- CDBG funds will be allocated to the City of Tustin
Parks and Recreation Department to provide a full-time recreation coordinator at the
Tustin Family Youth Center located in the southwest neighborhood of the City. The
Center provides affordable recreation services to children, the majority of whom are
of low-income families.
Priority: Neighborhood Facilities
Community facilities to serve children, youth, and adults are high priorities for the City of
Tustin. The number of existing facilities in the City are not adequate to serve the growing
population and the changing needs of target-area residents.
Programs:
Frontier Park. Frontier Park is a local park serving the immediate residents within the
vicinity. The park is in need of rehabilitation to meet ADA requirements and to
provide newer, safer play equipment for the children within the immediate vicinity.
Prior year CDBG funds will be utilized to complete this project.
Priority: Chiidcare Facilities/Services
Childcare facilities and services that are affordable to low- and moderate-income families are
inadequate to serve the number of families in need in the target area.
Program:
Orange Children and Parents Together, Inc.- Head Start Pre-school program.
Although no current CDBG funds will be allocated to assist OCPT to provide a Head
Start pre-school program serving Tustin's southwest neighborhood, the City provides
other resources to assist OCPT. All of the children who participate in this program are
from low- and moderate-income families.
Priority: Recreation Facilities
The City's CDBG target area was largely planned and developed prior to its annexation to
the City of Tustin. Therefore, the area is comparatively limited in terms of park and
recreational opportunities. The higher population density within the target area also
contributes to the need for recreational facilities. As a result, considerable attention has been
focused on ways to provide additional private and public youth, adult, and senior services and
facilities to supplement those which are heavily used at this time.
City of Tustin
2002-03 Action P~n
15
Program:
MCAS-Tustin Legacy Community Park. With the closing of the MCAS-Tustin in
July of 1999, the City is undertaking steps to rehabilitate existing amenities within
the base. Prior year CDBG funds will be utilized for the rehabilitation of the existing
buildings to accommodate a community center, sports field maintenance, demolition
of underutilized structures and facilities, and upgrading health and safety code
requirements.
Priority: Street and Sidewalk Improvements/Infrastructure
The majority of the street and sidewalk improvements, as well as other types of infrastructure
in the target area, were constructed more than 25 years ago. Also, some areas were never
developed with sidewalks. These facilities have reached the age .where they beginning to
deteriorate more rapidly and require reconstruction. With the population growing, the need
for new street and infrastructure is also increasing. The City objective is to promote the
improvement of existing infrastructure and the creation of new infrastructure where such
infrastructure is nonexistent or completely inadequate, as on the MCAS-Tustin base property.
Program:
Valencia/Armstrong Street Construction- Valencia/Armstrong Avenue are located
within the MCAS base in Tustin. The MCAS base closed in July of 1999. As part
of the economic development, major-street construction needs to be completed to
accommodate the future uses at the base. Prior CDBG funds will be utilized for the
construction of the Valencia Avenue from Armstrong Avenue through MCAS Tustin.
Priority: Senior Services
Area senior services are presently provided through the City's full-service senior center
located in Old Town Tustin. Although the senior center is not geographically.distant from the
target area, multi-cultural and economic limitations and barriers may be preventing full
participation in the center's programs. Additional services are necessary to target this
population.
Program:
Feedback Foundation - Tustin TLC Nutrition Program for the Elderly. The Feedback
Nutrition Program for the elderly (including congregate and home-delivered meals)
provides nutritious meals to the Tustin's elderly. The program objective is to alleviate
poor nutrition among the vulnerable elderly population, especially prevalent among
those who live alone and/or on limited incomes. The program not only provides meals
at a congregate site in Tustin, but also deliver meals to at-risk seniors (homebound)
City of Tustin
16
2002-133 Action Plan
residing within the City. CDBG funds will be allocated to reimburse the raw food and
other meals' related costs.
Priority: Crime Awareness
The target area has become the community's highest priority for crime prevention activities,
given the increasing population density and increasing need for police services. The
population is a potential target for victim-related crime, which could be prevented by the
implementation of crime awareness programs.
Program:
Assessment and Treatment Services Center (ATSC) - CDBG funds will be allocated
to the ATSC to provide staff for youth and family counseling services. ATSC
provides counseling to minor and first-time offenders of the law, youth who
demonstrate poor school behavior or performance, youth with family problems or who
are victims of domestic violence, and youth who use drugs or alcohol or who are
delinquent. While program participation is voluntary, a child and his/her entire family
must agree to undergo therapy together. Referrals are made to this organization by the
Tustin Police and area schools. Counseling services are provided by ATSC staff or
coordinated with other agencies.
Priority: Health Services
Based on the 1990 census, the Southwest area of the City (CDBG target area) is concentrated
with high-density residential and low-income households. Often, the majority of the
households' income is utilized to pay for housing. Consequently, limited or maybe none at
all is set aside for health insurance. Preventive medical and dental care is a luxury that typical
households may not be able to afford. Low-cost health services are needed to help the
household with preventive health and dental care.
Program:
TAFFY (Dental Clinic) - Prior CDBG funds will be utilized to provide dental care to
low-income persons with a particular emphasis on children. The program will provide
dental care that includes prevention, treatment, and restoration at a sliding-scale fee or at
no cost to the low-income persons.
Priority: Code Enforcement
Property maintenance issues are of significant importance to the community as the majority
of residential, commercial, and industrial structures in the target area are at least 25 years in
age. Absentee property owners contributed to delayed property maintenance in many cases.
City of Tustin
2002-03 Action Plan
17
Active Code Enforcement is needed to ensure that properties are properly maintained in
accordance with City standards.
Program:
Code Enforcement - CDBG funds will be allocated for salary and benefits for one
code enforcement officer to support the City's Housing Rehabilitation program
targeting the southwest neighborhood (low- and moderate-income target areas).
Graffiti Removal - CDBG funds will be allocated for the removal of graffiti in the
southwest neighborhood. The southwest neighborhood has been determined by HUD
as the CDBG low- and moderate-income target areas.
Priority: Economic Development
To stimulate businesses within the CDBG target areas, the City initiated a Commercial
Rehabilitation program. The program will provide financial assistance to private for-profit
businesses for facade improvements. Monetary assistance will be provided for either design
or construction costs.
Program: ,.
Old Town Commercial Rehabilitation - Prior CDBG funds will be utilized to provide
grant funding for design of commercial building rehabilitation within the Old Town
redevelopment area.
PrioriW: Planning/Administration
Planning Services are needed to administer the CDBG program, to prepare planning
documents for Old Town Tustin, and to provide fair housing assistance. These services are
necessary to support the other priorities.
Program:
Fair housing activities - CDBG funds will be allocated to contract with the Fair
Housing Council of Orange County to provide fair housing services to Tustin
residents. Services include landlord/tenant dispute resolution, education, counseling,
and fair housing monitoring and compliance. The contract also includes the
implementation of the Analysis of Impediment to Fair Housing Choice.
Planning and Administration - CDBG funds will be allocated for the administration
of the CDBG program.
City of Tustin
18
2002-03 Action Plan
Old Town Design Guidelines - CDBG funds will be allocated for the preparation of
design guidelines for Old Town Tustin. Old Town Tustin is located in the CDBG Iow
and moderate-income target area.
Old Town Zoning Studies - CDBG funds will be allocated to pay for a Zoning Studies
to allow mixed-uses in Old Town Tustin. Mixed-use zoning would provide
opportunities for the development of mixed residential and commercial uses in Old
Town area. Mixed-use zoning would also provide the opportunity for the
development of affordable housing in Old Town (CDBG low- and moderate-income
target area).

experienced an increase in population density and
declining property maintenance. These areas are often
infested with gang -related grafitti. To arrest the
declining of property values and further deterioration,
the City has placed this priority as high.

This activity meets the priority identified in the
Consolidated Plan under the Code Enforcement Need. The
City identified this activity as a significant
importance due to the increasing age of structures
within the CDBG target areas and the number of absentee
property owners which have contributed to delayed
property maintenance. Code Enforcement activity is
needed to ensure that properties are properly
maintained. Funds will be allocated for the salary and
benefits for a full-time code enforcement officer
targeting the CDBG low- and moderate -income areas.

D. Geographic Distribution
Tustin is a relatively small jurisdiction with limited areas which meet the federal criteria of
slum and blight, as defined under California State Redevelopment Law, or concentrations
of low- and moderate-income persons. Nevertheless, FY 2002-03 funds have been allocated
on the basis of meeting the national objectives of the CDBG program, including programs
addressing slum and blight and/or benefiting low- and moderate-income persons.
Further, boundaries of the South Central redevelopment project area overlap areas of low-
and moderate-income concentrations. The Tustin community believes it is important to
focus public services and improvements in that portion of the City known as the Southwest
Neighborhood. The 2002-03 Action Plan reflects those "geographic" priorities for allocating
investment.
Maps illustrating Tustin's target areas for CDBG funded projects are on the following pages.

E. Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities
Statistical data, including the 1990 'c&nsUs and data maintained by the Tustin Police
Department, indicate that homelessness is not a major issue within the Tustin community.
Nevertheless, it is recognized that homelessness is a regional issue for which the City of
Tustin must provide a "fair share" of services to address the needs of the homeless.
1. Activities to Address Emergency Shelter and Transitional Housing Needs of Homeless
Individuals and Families
In late 1996 and 1998, Tustin was awarded more than $1 million and approximately
$800,000, respectively, for a supportive housing facility under the Continuum of Care
Homeless Assistance Grant program. The grant will be used to renovate existing military
barracks for use as a transitional living facility (Rescue Mission) for 192 single men and
women. The Rescue Mission project is a transitional housing project. In September 1999,
the City of Tustin and Department of Navy executed an interim lease for the site with the
City subsequently subleasing the site to the Orange County Rescue Mission. The building
is c .un'ently being renovated. Upon completion, the Rescue Mission project will provide 192
new beds for the homeless.
In addition, there will be fifty (50) transitional housing units to be operated by several
nonprofit organizations at the Tustin Legacy. Descriptions for these facilities are provided
in Table 3. For FY 2002-03, the City will allocate funds for Laurel House, a local
temporary shelter for teens, using CDBG funds.
2. Activities to Prevent Low-income Individuals and Families with Children fi.om Becoming
Homeless
The City of Tustin participates in the County of Orange Continuum Care program. The
Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) established a Family Self-Sufficiency
Program. Preference for this program is given to families with children who are homeless
or who are in danger of becoming homeless (those paying over 50 percent of household
income for rent). In addition to providing housing assistance, this program provides a
variety of support services designed to assist participants become economically
independent including job training and employment for program participants.
Tustin has allocated the maximum allowable amount of its CDBG funds to public service
programs. While some of the organizations funded do not directly serve the homeless,
many of their activities may prevent homelessness. These activities include Episcopal
Service Alliance (TFFAP Program), Dental Clinic (TAFFY), counseling program
(ATSC), and Tustin Family and Youth Center programs.

2002-03 Action Plan
3. Activities to Help Homeless Persons Make the Transition to Permanent Housing and
Independent Living
The City recognized that the homeless are often in need of low rent or subsidized housing
in order to make the transition to independent living. The Orange County Housing
Authority will continue to assist homeless persons on the Section 8 waiting list. Other
efforts to help the homeless also are provided by local nonprofits and churches.
4. Activities to Address the Special Needs of Persons Who Are Not Homeless
The City's Senior Center provides assistance to the elderly and frail elderly. These
include transportation services, case management, information and referrals, shared
housing program, senior activities, health and fitness, and other recreational activities.
The City allocates CDBG funds to assist the Feedback Foundation to provide meals
services to the elderly and frail elderly (home-bound elderly). The City will continue to
refer those persons with special needs, such as persons with disabilities (mental, physical,
developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug dependencies, and persons with
HIV/AIDS to appropriate agencies.
The following table summarizes the organizations that provide homeless services and special
needs services for FY 2002-03:

Other Actions
1. General
The five-year Consolidated Plan contains a housing and homeless needs assessment
which describes estimated housing needs for low- and moderate-income residents,
special needs populations, and the homeless. During the 2002-03 funding year, the
City of Tustin will undertake the following actions to address obstacles to meeting
underserved needs including:
· Foster and maintain affordable housing
The City will continue to use available Federal, State, and local resources to
foster and maintain affordable housing through housing rehabilitation
programs for multi- and single-family dwelling units and provide and/or
maintain homeownership opportunities through a first-time homebuyer
program and an emergency mortgage program.
· Remove barriers to affordable housing
As stated in the Consolidated Plan, the City has adopted indirect assistance
programs to address negative impacts created by barriers to affordable
housing. The following summarizes the types of programs Tustin has
included into its Housing Element and will continue to promote during the
2002-03 funding year.

Evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City's Consolidated Plan notes that there does not appear to be a great
number of housing units at risk of lead-based paint hazard. However, to
comply with Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of
1992, the City will implement into its housing policies over the next five years
the following:
Include lead-based paint hazard reduction as an eligible activity in
rehabilitation programs;
Review existing regulations, housing, and rehabilitation codes to assure
lead-based paint hazard reduction is incorporated;
Require testing and hazard reduction in conjunction with rehabilitation;
and,
Require inspections for lead at appropriate times when housing is
otherwise being inspected or evaluated.
Reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City continues to support and implement several goals, policies, and
programs, as noted in the Housing Element of the General Plan, designed to
provide adequate, safe, and affordable housing to all segments of the
population. Those goals include:
City of Tustin
45
2002-03 Action Plan
Providing an adequate supply of housing to meet the City's need for a
variety of hous;.ng ~.ypez to meet diverse socio-economic needs.
Ensuring equal housing opportunities for all existing and future City
residents.
Ensuring a reasonable balance of rental and owner-occupied housing.
Preserving the existing supply of affordable housing.
Conserving, maintaining, rehabilitating, and/or replacing existing housing
in neighborhoods which are safe, healthful, and attractive, in accordance
with adopted Land Use policy.
Develop institutional structure
The City will continue to be involved in "network-building" activities with
governmental, for-profit, and nonprofit organizations. This includes
attendance at quarterly meetings of the Orange County Housing Authority
Advisory Committee. Tustin will also continue to fund the Fair Housing
Council of Orange County which provides fair housing and advocacy services
for the region. Further, the City will continue to encourage and participate in
efforts to work collectively and cooperatively with other Orange County
jurisdictions.
Enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies
The City of Tustin does not own or operate any public housing projects.
Nevertheless, the City will continue to support and encourage efforts of the
Orange County Housing Authority to coordinate between private housing and
social service agencies.
Foster public housing improvements and resident incentives
While the City does not own or operate any public housing projects, Tustin
will continue to support and encourage public housing improvements and
resident incentives as carried out by the Orange County Housing Authority.
Use available Federal, State, and local financial resources to meet underserved
needs.
Coordinate with Federal, State, and local agencies to provide appropriate
assistance to residents.
City of Tustin
46
2002-03 Action Plan
Coordinate with public service providers to promote adequate services to
residents.
Work to provide physical improvements to slum and blighted areas and
neighborhoods with concentrations of low- and moderate-income areas.
2. Public Housing
The City of Tustin does not have a Housing Authority. The City of Tustin contracts
with the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) to provide public housing and
a variety of housing assistance programs to qualifying City residents.
The City does not own or operate public housing, and no public housing developments
are proposed for Fiscal Year 2002-03.
G. Program - Specific Requirements
CDBG - A description of all CDBG funds expected to be available during the 2002-03
program year is provided in Table 1. A more comprehensive listing of the City's proposed use
of those funds is provided in Table 4. No program income has been received from the
previous program year; none is anticipated for 2002-03. The City has no urban renewal
settlements, grant funds returned to the line of credit, or income from float-funded activities.
H. Citizen Participation and Consultation
HUD requires that each jurisdiction encourage its citizens to participate in the development
of the Consolidated Plan/Action Plan. To ensure that this opportunity is provided, the City
of Tustin adopted its Citizen Participation Plan in 1995. The Citizen Participation Plan sets
forth policies and procedures for citizen participation in planning, implementation, and
assessment of the City of Tustin Consolidated Plan/Action Plan.
The objectives of the Citizen Participation Plan are:
To encourage citizens, particularly residents of low- and moderate-income living in
areas eligible for the use of program funds, including minorities, non-English speaking
persons, and persons with mobility, visual, or hearing impairments, to participate in
the development of the Consolidated Plan/Action Plan.
.
To assure that citizens are furnished with appropriate information about the
Consolidated Plan and its various component programs.
The City started the Citizen Participation process by publishing a Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) in the local newspaper seeking Request for Funding Applications for the
City of Tustin

2002-03 Action Plan
Ie
Jo
2002-03. CDBG funds. In addition, the City also sent the NOFA to over 90 nonprofit
organizations. The City received 24 applications totaling $923,978 in funding requests.
To develop the City's 2002-03 Action Plan, two public heatings were conducted. The first
public hearing was held during the preparation of the Action Plan. The hearing was held on
February 6, 2002. The purpose of the first heating was to obtain citizens' input and views on
possible needs, goals, and objectives; to inform citizens about the CDBG program goals and
objectives, including its process and procedures; and, to receive input and recommendations
on the proposed use of CDBG funds to the City Council. The second public heating was held
on April 15, 2002. The purpose of the second hearing was for the City Council to review the
Citizen Participation Committee's recommendation on the proposed use of CDBG funds for
Fiscal Year 2002-03 for submission to HUD.
All notices for the above hearings were published in the local newspaper at least 10 days prior
to the hearing date and notices were posted at City Hall and at the library. All citizens were
encouraged to participate, and those who required special accommodation were accounted for.
The City also, as required by HUD, published a notice of the availability of a draft Action
Plan for public review. The thirty (30) day public review and comment period began on
February 28, 2002, and ended on March 29, 2002. No comments were received from this
public review.
Communication
The City of Tustin provides its Citizen Participation Committee with a package of CDBG
materials and conducted a workshop to explain the CDBG process and procedures. The City
also provides maps and tables to assist citizens in understanding the CDBG overall goals and
objectives. The City utilized the HUD-provided Community 2020 software in developing the
CDBG low- and moderate-income target areas map and the CDBG proposed projects location
map. The City, with the help of HUD, posts its Executive Summary on the HUD web page
as a tool for interested citizens to understand the type of projects funded by the CDBG
program. Information related to the CDBG program is also available on the City's Webpage.
The City prepares a performance report at the end of the program year utilizing the IDIS
program.
Community Vision
The City delineates the Community's vision in its Five-year (2000-2005) Consolidated Plan.
The Consolidated Plan outlines community priority needs and its short-term and long-term
goals and objectives. A copy of the Consolidated Plan is available to the public upon request
at no cost. The City updates this Consolidated Plan as the community's vision and goals
change throughout the years. The City annually submits an Action Plan to HUD as an
application to receive funding. Within the Action Plan, the City provides benchmarks on each
activity funded. These benchmarks will be utilized to measure the City's progress in
achieving the stated goals and vision.
City of Tustin

2002-03 Action Plan
K. Strategies
With limited resources, the City strives to address the affordable housing, economic
opportunity, and Continuum of Care issues. Section C of this Action Plan describes the
activities and strategies that the City will undertake during the program year to address the
Affordable Housing issue. Section F indicates strategies that the City will undertake to
address obstacles in meeting the under-served needs, foster and maintain affordable housing,
remove barriers to affordable housing, evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce
the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance the
coordination between the public and private housing and social services agencies.
Section E of this Action Plan describes the activities that the City will undertake to address
the homeless population. The City in its Consolidated Plan addresses the Continuum of Care
strategies in further detail.
Section C of this Action Plan describes the activities that the City will undertake to expand
its economic opportunities. Due to the closure of the MCAS-Tustin, the City is cautiously
undertaking an economic development plan to address all the economic opportunities that will
be available.
L. Action Plan
Each year the City prepares an Action Plan not only for submission to HUD, but also to utilize
the Action Plan as a tool to provide the public with information on how the City utilizes its
entitlement grant for the program year. The Action Plan provides a description of each
activity, the amount of funding, and the projected accomplishment. All of the above are
summarized in the Proposed Project Table (Table 4) of the Action Plan.
M. Integrated Approach to Planning and Development
Utilizing the Consolidated Plan process, the City was able to identify community needs, goals,
and objectives. The City also was able to identify available resources and effectively utilize
the funds. The Consolidated Plan provides the City with strategies, goals, and identifiable
benchmarks that the City can assess at the end of program year for program achievements.
Each year the City invites public participation in identifying the needs of the community and
prioritizing them in the order of high, medium, low, or no priority. With these identified
needs, the City develops its Consolidated Plan/Action Plan by establishing activities to
address those needs utilizing the available resources.
N. Monitoring System
To ensure program compliance, the City conducts a formal on-site monitoring visit to each
subrecipient. The City established a monitoring procedure to ensure that each subrecipient
is carrying out the eligible activity, utilizing appropriate accounting methods, and verifying
City of' Tustin
49
2002-03 Action Plan
information provided to the City within the quarterly performance report. The on-site
monitoring visit also provides the City with an opportunity to identify potential problem areas
and to assist the subrecipients with 't¢c~ic'a! assistance. The City utilizes a monitoring
checklist form (see Appendix E) as a standard form to monitor the subrecipients.

assisted with CDBG funds, including Section 108, unless CDBG funds are used to pay the
