To participate in the CDBG program, the City is required to prepare a Consolidated Plan that identifies needs for affordable and supportive housing, community development, public services, and economic opportunities. The Consolidated Plan is required every five years. Annually, the City is also required to prepare a one -year Action Plan that implements the goals and objectives contained in the Consolidated Plan. The documents set forth in Resolution No. 15 -14 fulfill these requirements. On February 17, 2015, the City Council held the first required public hearing to receive public input and testimony, considered and provided staff with direction on the 2015 -2020 Consolidated Plan Priority Needs; considered and provided staff with direction on public service performance evaluations for continued funding; and, set a second required public hearing on April 7, 2015 to finalize the 2015 -2020 Consolidated Plan update and the Program Year 2015 -16 Action Plan.

Authorizing the Community Development Director to submit the Consolidated Plan to the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and make minor modifications to the Consolidated Plan and execute documents, certifications, contracts, or other instruments as may be required to carry out the CDBG program. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed 2015 -2016 programs and expenditures will be implemented with CDBG funds. The City has received notification from HUD that it's allocation for Program Year 2015 -2016 will be $711,414. No impacts to the General Fund are anticipated. CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN: Administration of the CDBG program falls under Goal A of the City of Tustin's Strategic Plan pertaining to Economic and Neighborhood Development. Goal A of the Strategic Plan strives to enable business opportunities and job development and to enhance the vibrancy and quality of life in all neighborhoods and areas of the community. Neighborhood revitalization and promoting economic development are both primary components within management of the CDBG program. BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION: Consolidated Plan To participate in the CDBG program, each jurisdiction is required to prepare a Consolidated Plan, "The Plan ", a five -year planning document intended to identify a jurisdiction's overall needs for affordable and supportive housing, community development, public services, and economic opportunities. The Plan also outlines a five -year strategy for addressing those needs and identifies resources and programs which might assist in meeting these goals. In developing the Consolidated Plan, the Council's adopted 2013 Housing Element and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy were utilized in developing the City's affordable housing strategies, goals and objectives. In May 2012, HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) introduced the eCon Planning Suite, a collection of new online tools to help grantees create market - driven, leveraged housing and community development plans. One of these tools, the Consolidated Plan Template, is now required for all Consolidated Plans submitted to HUD. The City has utilized this online template for completion of its 2015- 2020 Consolidated Plan. City Council Report CDBG Consolidated Plan & Action Plan April 21, 2015 Page 3 The Consolidated Plan has four (4) components: 1) Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment; 2) Housing Market Analysis; 3) Strategic Plan; and 4) Action Plan. In general the components are summarized as follow: • Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment - a five -year estimate of housing and supportive services needs, including the nature and extent of homelessness in the community. • Housing Market Analysis - a description of significant characteristics of the housing market, a brief inventory of facilities and services meeting housing needs of homeless persons, and an explanation of barriers to affordable housing. • Community Housing and Development Strategic Plan - a plan /strategy identifying key goals for addressing priority housing /community development needs. • Action Plan - a description of activities and projects to be undertaken with grant funds during the 2015 -16 program year. The Consolidated Plan, as required by federal regulations, must be available for public review for a period of not less than 30 days. The City advertised the availability of this document in the Tustin News for review and comment, and mailed notices of availability directly to 82 non - profit and public services agencies. No public comments were received during the comment period. This Consolidated Plan document may be amended based on the City Council's action at this meeting. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandates that the Plan must be submitted to HUD no later than 45 days prior to the beginning of the program year or May 16, 2015. Action Plan A section of the Consolidated Plan called the one -year Action Plan, serves as the City's application to HUD for CDBG program funding. The City must submit an Action Plan annually to receive its entitlement money. The purpose of the Action Plan is to detail how the City intends to spend its annual allocation of funds to meet community needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. Program Requirements and Regulations According to HUD, the City will receive $711,414 of CDBG funds for Fiscal Year 2015- 2016. These funds are allocated on a formula basis to cities to carry out activities that provide opportunities to develop viable urban communities. Communities are permitted to develop their own programs and funding priorities, as long as each activity meets one of the three CDBG National Objectives. These objectives are for projects that: 1) Benefit low- and moderate - income persons; City Council Report CDBG Consolidated Plan & Action Plan April 21, 2015 Page 4 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; 3) Meet community development needs having a particular urgency (conditions that pose serious or immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community, where other sources of funding are not available). The program also requires that at least 70 percent of the total CDBG funds must be used for activities that benefit low- and moderate - income persons over a one -, two -, or three -year period; and individual activities designed to benefit low- and moderate - income persons must assist at least 51 percent low- and moderate- income persons. To assure that activities will meet the National Objectives, HUD established guidelines for Eligible and Ineligible activities. Eligible activities include, but not limited to, the following: • Housing related activities • Removal of Architectural Barriers to Public Facilities • Rehabilitation and Preservation Activities • Public Facilities and Improvements • Public Services Activities • Economic Development Activities • Planning and Program Administration, etc. In addition, the program also limits the amount of allocation for Public Services activities and Program Administration. A maximum of 15 percent (15% x $711,414 = $106,712) of the total grant award may be allocated to Public Services types of activities. A maximum of 20 percent (20% x $711,414 = $142,282) of the total grant award may be expended on Program Administration activities. Public Service Activities Multiyear Funding On April 17, 2007, the City Council amended the City's Citizen Participation Plan by designating the Tustin Community Foundation as the Citizen Participation Committee for Public Service Activities and that funding for public services are to be allocated through a three (3) multiyear funding cycle. Accordingly, on February 12, 2014, the Tustin Community Foundation acting as the City's Citizen Participation Committee held a public hearing, considered funding requests for public service programs, and recommended allocation based on a multi -year funding cycle. On May 6, 2014, the City Council accepted the recommendation and approved the funding allocation for public services programs for a three (3) year period. Following the Year One (1) allocation for Program Year 2014 -15, the approved public service programs shall continue to receive Year Two (2) for Program Year 2015 -16 and Year Three (3) for Program Year 2016 -17 funding if they meet the following criteria: City Council Report CDBG Consolidated Plan & Action Plan April 21, 2015 Page 5 a. Activities must continue to meet the priority and objective for which the activities are funded in Year One (1); b. Activities must continue to leverage funds with other sources; C. Activities must be in compliance with contractual obligations; d. Activities must report accomplishments correctly in the Quarterly and Annual Performance Reports and /or other documentation as described in current year contract; e. Activities must receive a successful assessment of project performance and progress from City staff. A list of public service programs and their accomplishments is attached as Attachment B. The City Council, at the February 17, 2015, public hearing, considered the public service accomplishments, and directed staff to continue funding for all public service projects in Year 2. After publication of City Council's staff report at this meeting, City staff received formal notification of its 2015 -16 grant award from HUD. The funding amount awarded was higher than previously estimated, therefore additional public services funding was allocated to graffiti removal. The following are recommendations for public service funding allocations: Public Services Activities (max. $106,712) Boys and Girls Club $ 12,500 (continue) Community SeniorSery (Senior Meals) $ 15,000 (continue) Graffiti Removal - CDBG target areas $ 34,179 (continue) Mercy House $ 5,000 (continue) Olive Crest $ 5,000 (continue) Tustin Parks and Recreation Department (Youth Center Staff) $ 20,033 (continue) Tustin Parks and Recreation Department (Kids Corner) $ 15.000 (continue) Public Services Subtotal $106,712 Non Public Services Activities /Programs On November 20, 2014, a Notice of Funding Availability for fair housing services and other non public service projects was published in the Tustin News newspaper. One application was received from the Fair Housing Foundation and five (5) non public services (City of Tustin) applications were received.

Federal regulations also require a jurisdiction to hold at least two public hearings to obtain the views of citizens on such issues as housing, other community development needs, and the use of the CDBG monies. The first public hearing was conducted on February 17, 2015, wherein the City Council received public input and testimony, considered and provided staff with direction on the 2015 -2020 Consolidated Plan Priority Needs, considered and provided staff with direction on public service performance evaluations for continued funding; and set a second required public hearing on April 7, 2015.

Summary The overall goal of the community development and planning programs covered by the Consolidated Plan is to develop a viable urban community by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities principally for low- and moderate - income persons. The Federal government requires that local jurisdictions prepare this document and state within its plan that the jurisdiction will pursue this goal for all of its community development and planning programs, including housing programs. The Consolidated Plan serves the following functions: 1. A planning document for the City of Tustin, which builds on a participatory process at the lowest levels. 2. An application for federal funds under HUD's formula grant programs. 3. A strategy to be followed in carrying out HUD programs. 4. An action plan that provides a basis for assessing performance.

Introduction HUD requires that each jurisdiction encourage its citizens to participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan and subsequent Action Plan. To ensure that this opportunity is provided, the City of Tustin adopted its Citizen Participation Plan in 1995 and revised it in January of 2003. In April 2007, the City Council amended the City's Citizen Participation Plan to shift Citizen Participation Committee duties to the Tustin Community Foundation. Foundation board members were charged with the task to review public service project funding applications and to develop a three -year funding recommendation for the City Council. The Tustin Community Foundation represents a broad cross section of City of Tustin residents and has the ability to leverage CDBG funds with private funds to bolster the effectiveness of public service projects. The Citizen Participation Plan set forth policies and procedures for citizen interaction in planning, implementation, and assessment of the City of Tustin Consolidated Plan /Action Plan. The objectives of the Citizen Participation Plan are: 1. 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. 2. To assure that citizens are furnished with appropriate information about the Consolidated Plan and its various component programs. 3. 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 2014 -15, 2015- 16 and 2017 -18 CDBG Program Years. In addition, the City also sent the NOFA to 80 nonprofit organizations. The City received 11 applications requesting $754,274 in funding (FY 2014 -15 $247,280; FY 2015 -16 $251,423; FY 2016 -17 $255,571). The 2015 -16 Action Plan covers programs and projects to be undertaken during the respective year. To develop the City's 2015 -16 Action Plan, two public hearings were conducted. The first public hearing was held by the City Council on February 17, 2015. The purpose of the first hearing was to evaluate the performance of the approved public service activities for continuation of funding in Year 2. A second public hearing was held on April 21, 2015 by the City Council. The purpose of the second hearing was for the City Council to review the Draft Action Plan, including public service and nonpublic service activities, and approve a funding allocation for submission to HUD. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 10 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp.07 /31/2015) 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 Consolidated Plan and Action Plan, for public review. The thirty (30) day public review and comment period began on February 19, 2015, and ended on March 21, 2015. To allow further notification to an interest list of non - profits and other public services agencies, a second public comment period was opened on March 19, 2015, through April 17, 2015. No comments were received from this public review. 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 of Tustin does not own or operate any public housing; however, the City will continue to support and encourage efforts of the Orange County Housing Authority to coordinate private housing resources and social service agencies programs. In addition, the City of Tustin recently sold two city - owned fourplexes to the Orange County Rescue Mission which will provide 32 homeless veterans with housing at the site. The Orange County Rescue Mission Village of Hope will additionally be providing 67 new transitional housing units. 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 To address the regional needs of homeless individuals and families, the City of Tustin participates in the Continuum of Care (CoC) program sponsored through the County of Orange. The purpose of the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs is to fund projects that will fill gaps in locally developed Continuum of Care systems to assist homeless persons to move to self- sufficiency and permanent housing. An important element of meeting this objective is to fund projects that will meet the Department's goal of ending chronic homelessness. Since the year 2000, the County of Orange has coordinated an Associated Application for homeless assistance on behalf of all jurisdictions and agencies in the County of Orange who wished to participate. The County of Orange /Housing and Community Services Department (HCS) is responsible for oversight, planning and coordination of the Continuum of Care Strategy, application process, and project evaluation and prioritization. A Continuum of Care system is developed through a community -wide process involving nonprofit organizations, government agencies, other homeless providers, housing developers, services providers, private foundations, neighborhood groups, and homeless or formerly homeless persons. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 11 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC) system consists of five basic components: 1. Advocacy on behalf of those who are homeless or at -risk of becoming homeless and to ensure social justice is maintained for all residents regardless of socio- economic status; 2. A system of outreach, assessment, and prevention for determining the needs and conditions of an individual or family who is homeless; 3. Emergency shelters with appropriate supportive services to help ensure that homeless individuals and families receive adequate emergency shelter and referral to necessary service providers or housing finders; 4. Transitional housing with appropriate supportive services to help those homeless individuals and families who are not prepared to make the transition to permanent housing and independent living; and 5. Permanent housing, or permanent supportive housing, to help meet the long -term needs of homeless individuals and families. In addition to the City's participation in the County of Orange Continuum of Care, significant accomplishments which will be made during the 2015 -2020 Plan cycle include that the City of Tustin recently sold two city -owned fourplexes to the Orange County Rescue Mission which will provide 32 homeless veterans with housing at the site. Each fourplex has two (2) three bedroom units, one (1) two bedroom unit, and one (1) one bedroom unit. After rennovations are made to the units by the Orange County Rescue Mission, they will be made available for housing homeless veterans. The Orange County Rescue Mission Village of Hope will additionally be providing 67 new transitional housing units. 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 As seen above, the City of Tustin participates in the County of Orange's Continuum of Care Program; however, does not utilize ESG funds. 2.

Table 4— Citizen Participation Outreach Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 17 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Needs Assessment NA -05 Overview Needs Assessment Overview This section of the Consolidated Plan discusses the estimated housing needs for the City of Tustin projected for the five -year period commencing July 1, 2015, and concluding on June 30, 2020. The housing data contained in this Section of the Plan is based on data pre- designated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) within the Plan template on HUD's Integrated Disbursement & Information System (IDIS). The data is from sources such as the 2000 & 2010 Census, 2009 -2013 American Community Survey (ACS) data, 2008 -2018 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data. Additionally, data has been extracted from both the City's 2013 Housing Element and Technical Memorandum which has received certification from the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the 2012 Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Housing Needs Assessments (2012 RHNA), and the Comprehensive Affordable Housing Strategy (2008 -2018) prepared for the City of Tustin. The discussion also reflects consultation with social service agencies concerning the housing needs of children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, homeless persons, and other persons served by such agencies and the citizen participation process. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 18 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA -10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c) Summary of Housing Needs According to 2000 Census and 2007 -2011 ACS data, the City of Tustin has approximately 75,000 residents which is comprised of approximately 25,000 families. Of these families, approximately 45% are of extremely -low, low, or moderate income and in need of housing assistance. Data also demonstrates that twice as many renters than owners, are likely to experience one or more of the common housing problems. The four common housing problems include: lacking complete kitchen facilities; lacking complete plumbing facilities; more than one person per room; and, a cost burden greater than 30 percent. A number of factors will influence the degree of demand or "need" for housing in Tustin. The major "needs" categories considered in the Plan include: • Housing needs resulting from one or more identified housing problems (lacking complete kitchen facilities; lacking complete plumbing facilities; more than one person per room; and, a cost burden greater than 30 percent); Housing needs resulting from one or more identified severe housing problems (lacking complete kitchen facilities; lacking complete plumbing facilities; overcrowding (more than 1.5 persons per room not including bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half- rooms); and, a cost burden greater than 50 percent); • Housing needs that result when households are paying more than they can afford for housing; • Housing needs resulting from overcrowding; • Housing needs resulting from the presence of "special needs groups" such as the elderly, large families, female headed households, households with a disabled person, and the homeless; and • Housing needs resulting from conversion of the assisted housing stock to market rate.

Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 24 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Data specific to the City of Tustin is unavailable; however, according to the 2009 Orange County Homeless Census and Survey, the County has approximately 475 individuals who are homeless and have been the vicitims of domestic violence and would require housing assistance. What are the most common housing problems? Housing problems affecting Tustin residents have been identified in Tables 7 and 8 which utilize data obtained from the 2007 -2011 CHAS. Housing problems identified in Table 7 include: substandard housing- lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities; severely overcrowded with > 1.51 people per room (and complete kitchen and plumbing); overcrowded with 1.01 - 1.5 people per room (and none of the before - mentioned problems); housing cost burden greater than 50% of income (and none of the before - mentioned problems); housing cost burden greater than 30% of income (and none of the before - mentioned problems): and, zero /negative income (and none of the before - mentioned problems). Further housing problems identified in Table 8 include households with one or more Severe Housing Problems which include lacking a kitchen or complete plumbing, severe overcrowding or a severe cost burden. In addition the table displays the number of households with none of the four housing problems or if the household has a negative income, but none of the other housing problems. Data for each of these housing problems is displayed for both renters and home - owners. The data further provides that the most common housing problem for renters is having a housing cost burden greater than 30% of their income, and for owners it is having a cost burden of greater than 50% of their income. Are any populations /household types more affected than others by these problems? An analysis of Table 7 is as follows: Among the low income population (30 %AMI), both renters and owners are more affected by substandard housing lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities than other income levels; The low income population of renters and owners are also most impacted by severe overcrowding with > 1.51 people per room (and complete kitchen and plumbing facilities); Moderate income renters (50 %- 80%AMI) and low income owners (30 %AMI) are more affected by overcrowding with 1.01 -1.5 people per room (and none of the before - mentioned problems); Very-low income renters (<30% AMI) and moderate income owners experience the greatest housing cost burden greater than 50% of income (and none of the before - mentioned problems); both moderate income renters and owners have the greatest housing cost burden greater than 30% of income (and none of the before- mentioned problems); and, Very-low income renters and owners are most affected by zero /negative income (and none of the before - mentioned problems). An analysis of Table 8 is as follows: Very-low income renters are the population most affected by having one or more of the four housing problems including lacking a kitchen or complete plumbing, severe overcrowding, or a severe cost burden. Both very-low and moderate income owners are most affected by having one or more of the same housing problems. Moderate income renters and owners are also Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 25 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) most likely to have none of the four housing problems. Very-low income renters and owners are most affected by having a negative income, but none of the other housing problems. 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 According to Table 6 which contains data from the 2007 -2011 CHAS, a majority of the City of Tustin's families with children are moderate income; however, very low income and low income families with children make up the second and third largest population respectively. While the majority of extremely low income households are currently housed, they are in a precarious position, particularly those overpaying for housing in light of the current housing market, and could face the threat of homelessness. There is no data available specifically for Tustin; however, the Orange County Homeless Count & Survey Report indicates that there are currently 1,022 persons throughout Orange County in transitional housing. Within the City of Tustin, the Orange County Rescue Mission- Village of Hope provides transitional housing services. The Orange County Rescue Mission has indicated that there are approximately 48 families nearing the termination of their assistance. These families may have needs such as affordable housing, child care, or other supportive services for families and children. The City of Tustin provides such services through the Orange County Housing Authority and special programming for youth and children as well as refferai services through the Tustin Family Youth Center and Kids Corner Preschool. 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: An estimate of the total number of at -risk individuals within the City of Tustin includes the residents of the 100 affordable units within the Tustin Gardens Community. These affordable units have been identified as at -risk for conversion to market -rate, thus creating risk for the residents as well. According to Continuum of Care reports, there is an additional indication that female- headed households may be at -risk for becoming homeless. Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness Any of the housing problems discussed within this seciton are contributing factors toward instability and the risk of homelessness. Those factors include: households lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities; overcrowding or severe overcrowding; and /or, having a housing cost burden greater than 30 or even 50 percent of annual income. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 26 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Discussion The City of Tustin recognizes the housing needs of extremely -low, low, and moderate income families who reside in the city. Various goals and priorites are set within this five -year Consolidated Plan to address these needs. Goals within this cycle to address housing needs include: preservation of at -risk units; single & multi - family rehabilitation, multi - family rental new construction / acquisition / rehabilitation; first -time homebuyer assistance; new housing construction; downpayment assistance; homeless housing partership program; Section 8 rental assistance; and, administrative support for affordable housing. In addition, families who need additional supportive services will be addressed through public services goals such as: senior services; youth centers; child care centers; and, new parks /recreation facilities.

Introduction The Consolidated Plan must identify the specific needs of any racial or ethnic group that has a disproportionately greater need, experiencing one or more of the four housing problems, in comparison to others in each specific income category as a whole. The four housing problems include: lacking complete kitchen facilities; lacking complete plumbing facilities; more than one person per room; and, a cost burden greater than 30 percent. A disproportionately greater need exists when the members of a racial or ethnic group at an income level experience housing problems at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole.

The percentage of the jurisdiction as a whole with one or more of four housing problems will be given, along with the racial or ethnic groups affected by a disproportionately greater need. Table 13: Among the very-low income population (0 % -30% AMI), 92 percent of the jurisdiction as a whole has one or more of the four housing problems. Given the high percentage of the jurisdiction with housing problems, there are no individual racial or ethnic groups displaying a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole). Although there is no disproportionately greater need, as information, the Black /African American and American Indian, Alaska Native racial /ethnic groups both have 100 percent of the population with one or more of the four housing problems. Table 14: Among the low income population (30%-50% AMI), 86 percent of the jurisdiction as a whole has one or more of the four housing problems. The racial or ethnic groups displaying a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole) are Black /African Americans and Pacific Islanders both with 100 percent of their populations having one or more of the four housing problems. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 30 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Table 15: Among the moderate income population (50%- 80 %AMI), 63 percent of the jurisdiction as a whole has one or more of the four housing problems. The racial or ethnic group displaying a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole) is the Pacific Islander group with 100 percent of their population displaying one or more of the four housing problems. Table 16: The final table provides data on the 80%- 100 %AMI population. Within this jurisdiction as a whole, 57% of the population has one or more of the four housing problems. There are no racial or ethnic groups with a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole).

Introduction The Consolidated Plan must also identify the specific needs of any racial or ethnic group that has a disproportionately greater need, experiencing one or more of the severe housing problems, in comparison to others in each specific income category as a whole. Severe housing problems include: lacking complete kitchen facilities; lacking complete plumbing facilities; overcrowding (more than 1.5 persons per room not including bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half- rooms); and, a cost burden greater than 50 percent. A disproportionately greater need exists when the members of a racial or ethnic group at an income level experience housing problems at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole. Tables 17 through 20 provide data on the needs of racial or ethnic groups across very-low, low, moderate and moderate -high income groups.

Introduction: The Consolidated Plan further discusses the concept of disproportionately greater need in this Section with regard to Housing Cost Burden. Table 21 provides data displaying housing cost burdens of the City of Tustin as a whole and across various racial or ethnic categories. As defined by HUD, households with less than 30 percent of a housing cost to income ratio are not considered to have a cost burden. Households that pay between 30 —50 percent of their income on housing - related costs are considered to be cost - burdened households. Households with a cost to income ratio greater than 50 percent, therefore spending more than 50 percent of their income on housing - related costs, are considered to be a severely cost- burdened household. Those with no /negative income (not computed in Table 21) are the number of households whose income is $0 or negative due to self - employment, dividends, and net rental income. Assuming that households in this category have housing costs, the cost burden would be 100 percent. Households paying greater than 30 percent of their income on housing - related costs have less income left over for other necessities such as food, clothing, and healthcare. Upper income households are generally capable of paying a larger proportion of their income for housing, and therefore estimates of housing overpayment generally focus on lower income groups. A discussion will follow providing an analysis of Table 21 with regard to the racial or ethnic groups displaying a disproportionately greater need.

Within the City of Tustin, it can be seen that a majority of the population does not have a housing cost burden with 55 percent of the population paying less than 30 percent of their income on housing - related costs. There are no racial or ethnic groups within this income category with a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or higher than the City as a whole). Cost - burdened households paying between 30— 50% of their income on housing - related costs equate to 26 percent of the population. Of those families considered to be cost - burdened, the White racial /ethnic group has a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or more) at 46 percent within the cost - burdened group as a whole. Table 21 further displays that 19 percent of the population is considered to have a severe cost burden paying more than 50 percent of their household income on housing - related costs. Within this category, the racial or ethnic groups with disproportionately greater needs (10 percentage points or more) are Whites who make up 43 percent of this group, and Hispanics who comprise 37 percent of the group. Those with none or negative income, and assumed to have a hosing cost burden of 100 percent, make up less than 1 percent of the population as a whole. Of this group, all racial or ethnic groups who have data on the table are considered to have a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or more) than the population as a whole since the population is a very small percentage. Those groups are Hispanic which comprises 55 percent, White which makes up 30 percent of the population, and Asian with 20 percent.

Housing Problems Among the low income population (30%-50% AMI), the racial or ethnic groups displaying a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole) are Black /African Americans and Pacific Islanders both with 100 percent of their populations having one or more of the four housing problems. Among the moderate income population (50 % -80% AMI), the racial or ethnic group displaying a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole) is the Pacific Islander group with 100 percent of their population possessing one or more of the four housing problems. Severe Housing Problems Among the very-low income population (0 % -30% AMI), the racial or ethnic group displaying a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole) is the Hispanic group with 95 percent of their population displaying one or more of the four severe housing problems. Among the low income population (30%-50% AMI), the racial or ethnic group displaying a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole) is the Hispanic group with 75 percent of their population possessing one or more of the four severe housing problems. Among the moderate income population (50 % -80% AMI), the racial or ethnic groups displaying a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole) are the Black /African Americans with 36 percent of their population and Pacific Islanders with 100 percent of their population displaying one or more of the severe housing problems. Among the 80% -100% AMI population, the racial or ethnic group displaying a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole) is the Asian group with 32 percent of their population displaying one or more of the severe housing problems. Housing Cost Burden Cost - burdened households paying between 30— 50% of their income on housing - related costs equate to 26 percent of the population. Of those families considered to be cost - burdened, the White racial /ethnic Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 38 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) group has a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or more) at 46 percent within the cost - burdened group as a whole. Data shows that 19 percent of the population is considered to have a severe cost burden paying more than 50 percent of their household income on housing - related costs. Within this category, the racial or ethnic groups with disproportionately greater needs (10 percentage points or more) are Whites who make up 43 percent of this group, and Hispanics who comprise 37 percent of the group. Those with none or negative income, and assumed to have a hosing cost burden of 100 percent, make up less than 1 percent of the population as a whole. Of this group, all racial or ethnic groups who have data on the table are considered to have a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or more) than the population as a whole since the population is a very small percentage. Those groups are Hispanic which comprises S5 percent, White which makes up 30 percent of the population, and Asian with 20 percent. if they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? An analysis of the racial or ethnic groups displaying the greatest need with regard to housing problems, severe housing problems, and housing cost burdens are described above. Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? The very-low to moderate income families are most concentrated within the southwest portion of the City of Tustin within the CDBG Low /Mod Census Tract Target Area.

Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 43 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA -40 Homeless Needs Assessment — 91.205(c) Introduction: Available statistics currently indicate that the City of Tustin does not have a significant population nor subpopulation of homeless persons or homeless families with children. Police reports and windshield surveys within the City indicate there may be approximately ten homeless individuals that currently live in the City. There are no known or established areas where homeless persons congregate, and most persons migreate through Tusitn to other areas within Orange County, rather than stay for extended periods of time. The City anticipates that homeless persons or homeless persons with children will be assisted on an as- needed basis by making appropriate referrals to organizations or agencies that provide shelter, food, and other services for homeless persons and homeless families with children. The City of Tustin does recognize that homelessness is a regional issue which needs to be addressed by all jurisdictions regardless of individual circumstances; therefore, the City of Tustin participates in the Orange County Continuum of Care plan to address homelessness on a regional level. According to the Orange County Homeless Count and Survey Report prepared in July 2013, the County currently has 4,251 homeless with approximately 40% unsheltered and 60% sheltered.

It can be seen from the data that throughout Orange County, that the number of persons in families with both adults and children comprises the highest percentage of the sheltered homeless population at 51 %. There were 14 total unaccompanied youth or children who were counted, with 13 of those children or youth being sheltered. Overall, the majority of the homeless population is comprised of households with only adults. Of this population, 62% are unsheltered and 37% are sheltered. Data also demonstrates that a majority of chronic homeless individuals are unsheltered. There were 10 chronically homeless families represented by the data with nine of those families residing in a sheltered environment. Total homeless veterans is 446 with 60% unsheltered and 40% sheltered. Out of the total homeless population approximately 1.5% of this population is a person with HIV /AIDS, and within that population, a majority are sheltered. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 46 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Nature and Extent of Homelessness: (Optional) Race: Sheltered: Unsheltered (optional) White 1,461 857 Black or African American 326 117 Asian 96 31 American Indian or Alaska Native 131 56 Pacific Islander 31 26 Ethnicity: Sheltered: Unsheltered (optional) Hispanic 869 469 Not Hispanic 1,286 1,173 Alternate Data Source Name: OC Homeless Count and Survey Report 2013 Data Source Data for sheltered homeless obtained from the Orange County CoC PIT Count 2014. Data for unsheltered homeless Comments: obtained from the Orange County Homeless Count and survey Report 2013. Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans. Based on the 2013 Orange County Housing Count and Survey Report, there were four families countywide, including children, in need of shelter. There were 269 veterans in need of shelter. It can be seen from this data that unsheltered veterans are of greater need than families with children with regard to housing assistance. Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. Within Orange County, the highest population of sheltered homeless by race /ethnicity is the White race comprising 35% of the population. The second and third highest populations of sheltered homeless are the non - Hispanic and Hispanic populations comprising 30% and 20% of the population respectively. A similar trend can be seen across Orange County's unsheltered homeless as well with the non - Hispanic, White, and Hispanic populations accounting for the first, second, and third largest percentage of the population at 43 %, 31 %, and 17% respectively. Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. Based on the PIT Count conducted throughout Orange County on January 24, 2014, approximately 43% of the homeless populaton is sheltered while 56% remain unsheltered. Among those unsheltered homeless, 99% of them are households without children. Among the sheltered homeless, the majority are also households without children at 67% of the sheltered homeless population. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 47 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 lexp. 07/31/2015) Discussion: The City of Tustin will continue its participation in the County of Orange's Continuum of Care program to provide supportive services and housing to the County's homeless and at -risk of becoming homeless population. In addition to the City's participation in the County of Orange Continuum of Care, significant accomplishments which will be made during the 2015 -2020 Plan cycle include that the City of Tustin recently sold two city -owned fourplexes to the Orange County Rescue Mission which will provide 32 homeless veterans with housing at the site. Each fourplex has two (2) three bedroom units, one (1) two bedroom unit, and one (1) one bedroom unit. After rennovations are made to the units by the Orange County Rescue Mission, they will be made available for housing homeless veterans. The Orange County Rescue Mission Village of Hope will additionally be providing 67 new transitional housing units. Furthermore, four homeless service providers including the Salvation Army, Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter, Families Forward, and Human Options currently are operating 48 family units. The Orange County Rescue Mission operates a 192 -unit transitional /emergency shelter (Village of Hope) and the Orange County Social Services Agency operates a 90bed facility for abused and neglected children and their families. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 48 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) NA -45 Non - Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction: Certain segments of the population may have a more difficult time finding decent affordable housing due to special circumstances and may require specific accomodations or assistance to meet their housing needs. Included as special needs groups are the elderly, disabled, including persons with developmental disabilities, female- headed households, and large families. The City of Tustin recognizes the needs of this population and has set goals and priorities to address them. Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: The special needs of many elderly households result from their lower, fixed incomes, physical disabilities, and need for assistance. According to Amercian Community Survey (ACS) Data from 2009- 2013 8.2% of the City of Tustin's population is 65 years or older. With regard to the tenure of households, households with a head of the house aged 65 years or older comprised 15.7% of all households in the City. Physical and developmental disabilities can hinder access to housing units of traditional design and potentially limit the ability to earn adequate income. According to 2009 -2011 ACS Data, a total of 2,192 persons in Tustin between 18 and 65 years of age reported a disability. In addition, 1,745 persons over age 65 reported a disability. The US Census Bureau does not record data on individuals with developmental diabilities; however, the Regional Center of Orange County estimates there are at least 428 individuals with developmental disabilities living in Tustin. Female- headed households tend to have lower incomes and special needs, thus limiting housing availability for this group. According to 2007 -2011 ACS Data, the City of Tustin had 1,652 female- headed households with children less than 18 years of age. Under Census Bureau guidelines, a family household containing five or more persons is considered a large family. According to 2007 -2011 ACS Data, 3,852 households had five or more persons equating to approximately 15% of Tustin families. What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? The special housing needs of the elderly are an important concern to the City of Tustin. This is especially significant because many retired persons are likely to be on fixed low incomes, and at greater risk of housing overpayment. In addition, the elderly maintain special needs related to housing construction and location. The elderly often require ramps, handrails, lower cupboards and counters to allow greater access and mobility. In terms of location, because of limited mobility the elderly also typically need access to public facilities (for example, medical and shopping requirements) and public transit services. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 49 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Access and affordability are the two major housing concerns of disabled persons. Access is particularly important for the physically disabled. Physically disabled persons often require specially designed dwellings to permit access within the unit, such as lowered countertops, wider doorways, and modified bathroom facilities, as well as to and from the site. Especially of concern is the fact that many members of this demographic group are often on a fixed, most often lower income, and often rely on federal or state aid. The housing needs of female- headed households with children are generally related to affordability since such households typically have lower than average incomes. These families also have a large need for affordable child care. For these households, ideal housing is severely restricted. Due to financial constraints, the family is often not able to find housing that is close to needed services, schools, and public transportation. Large family households need special consideration because they generally require larger dwellings with sufficient bedrooms to meet their housing needs, without overcrowding. Additionally, there is a limited availability of 3+ bedroom apartment units in the City available to meet the needs of large families. Furthermore, family households with five or more persons often face limitations in being below national poverty levels, and often experience difficulty securing adequate housing suitable for their expanded needs. Difficulties in securing housing large enough to accommodate all members of a household are heightened for renters, because multifamily rental units are typically smaller than single - family units. Thus, large families typically suffer disproportionately from both overcrowding and inability to pay. Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV /AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area: The City of Tustin does not have a signficiant population of residents with HIV /AIDS; however, the AIDS Services Foundation acts as a referral agency putting persons with special needs in contact with providers. In July 2012, the Orange County HIV Planning Council and Orange County Health Care Agency Public Health Services completed the Comprehensive HIVServices Plan for 2012 -2014. Within the Plan, the Committee indicated the need of coordination between the AIDS housing and service - providers, advocates, and people living with HIV /AIDS (PLWH /A) with mainstream advocacy and homelessness groups in order to increase the effectiveness of service delivery. Discussion: The City of Tustin actively works toward addressing the needs of the non - homeless special needs population. Coordination between the City of Tustin, public and assisted housing providers, private and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies is enhanced through activities such as Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 50 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) developing productive working relationships with these agencies, soliciting input through the public participation process, and seeking professional advice and input from these agencies. The City of Tustin coordinates with the appropriate County and State offices by referral as required, specifically for housing in any types of residential care facilities where six or fewer persons are residing, as stipulated in State laws. Additionally, the City of Tustin maintains a listing of the entire County and State inventory of licensed facilities providing supportive housing and acquires updates as necessary from the State's Community Care Licensing - Residential Division Office located in Santa Ana. Referrals are also made to the Orange County Public Housing Authority for persons of lower incomes with special needs who are requesting affordable housing.

Parks and /or Recreation Facilities The City of Tustin has several priority needs during this Consolidated Plan cycle related to parks and /or recreation facilities. The needs include: Tustin Sports Park ball diamond and multipurpose field rennovations; Centennial Park playground rennovation; acquiring a new parksite to serve southwest Tustin within the low /moderate Census Tract Target Area; Columbus Tustin Park picnic shelter replacement; and, parklets within Old Town. Parking Facilities Parking facilities have been identified as a high priority need for the City of Tustin. The Stevens Square parking facility within Old Town Tustin is in need of refurbishment, ADA accessibility upgrades, and expansion to meet the needs of visitors to the Old Town area. Non - Residential Historic Preservation The City of Tustin has identified the presevation of its historic commercial properties to be a high priority need. How were these needs determined? 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, organized activities. The City of Tustin's Public Facilities needs were determined based on feedback from the community and consultations with City Staff. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 52 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements: The City of Tustin's priority needs related to public improvements includes: Water /Sewer Improvements Water and sewer improvements have been identified as a low priority for the City. Infrastructure, such as water wells, are in need of rehabilitation and improvements. Street /Sidewalk Improvements The City identified street and sidewalk improvements as a high prioriy with relation to Armstrong and Warner Avenue extensions, Main Street improvements, and sidewalks rennovations citywide. Phase II of improvemetnts to Newport Avenue is identified as a low priority. Flood Drain Improvements The City of Tustin has set a high priority on various flood drain improvements to the Peters Canyon Channel, Barranca Channel, and Barranca Detention Basin. How were these needs determined? The majority of the street and sidewalk improvements as well as other types of infrastructure in the target area were constructed more than 30 years ago. Also, some areas were never developed with sidewalks. These facilities have reached the age where they are beginning to deteriorate more rapidly and require reconstruction. The City of Tustin's public improvements needs were determined based on feedback from the community and consultations with City Staff. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services: Priorities for public services activities vary by activity. The City has identified that the graffiti abatement program is a high priority in that quick response graffiti removal help control blight. Anti -Crime Programs 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 through the implementation of crime awareness programs. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 53 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Youth Programs Youth Programs have been identified by the community as essential for providing recreational options to area youths. 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, organized activities. Child Care Facilities /Services Existing Child Care Facilities and Services affordable to low- and moderate - income families are inadequate to serve the number of families in need in the target area. In addition, the ethnic diversity in this area further complicates the problem. The City identified the need for adequate and affordable Child Care Facilities and Services as a high 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, multicultural and economic limitations and barriers may be preventing full participation in the center's programs. Additional services are necessary to target this population. The City identified senior services as a high priority. Economic Development Commercial and shopping centers within the target area are located on relatively small or shallow lots that lend themselves mainly to "strip mall" type developments for small business. Following are a few of the City's high priority economic development needs: job creation and business incentive program; Old Town vacant and underutilized land development; partner with the Chamber of Commerce to host workshops for local businesses; enhance the marketing and branding efforts for Tustin Legacy through temporary and permanent sign programs; land use and transportation planning at Tustin Legacy to create a destination; study the viability of the Tustin hangar as a focal point for destination development within Tustin Legacy; host a Mayor's Business Recognition Luncheon; and, other economic development activities such as targeting defined business areas and assisting with a "Shop Locally" campaign. 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 30 years in age. Absentee property owners and declining rent structures have contributed to delayed property maintenance in many cases. Active code enforcement is needed to ensure that properties are properly maintained in accordance with City standards. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 54 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Planning Planning services are needed to administer the CDBG program and to provide fair housing assistance. These services are necessary to support the other priorities of the target area including planning activities for the implementation of the Downtown Commercial Core Plan within the CDBG target area. Development the Downtown Commercial Core Plan will provide a comprehensive planned vision to encourage economic growth and coordinated development in Old Town Tustin. How were these needs determined? The City of Tustin's public improvements needs were determined based on feedback from the community, non - profit organizations, and consultations with City Staff. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 55 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Housing Market Analysis MA -05 Overview Housing Market Analysis Overview: The Market Analysis Section of the Consolidated Plan includes an overview of the housing market conditions within the City of Tustin, provides an inventory of facilities and services for the homeless and special needs populations, discusses barriers to affordable housing, and looks at additional needs of the community based on geography and region. The City's housing stock contains 26,418 residential units according to 2011 ACS data. Of the available units, 24,945 are occupied. Data from the Association of California Realtors indicates that the median home price within the City is $653,850. Following county and state -wide trends, prices of homes within Tustin have increased are projected to continue to increase. According to Tustin's 2013 Housing Element, 56% of Tustin's housing stock is 30 years old or older; however, the overall housing stock is generally in good condition. City Code Enforcement staff and the Neighborhood Improvement Task Force, which is comprised of staff from various City departments, have indicated that less than 10% of the City's housing stock is in need of minor repairs. Only 2% of the total housing units, particularly existing four - plexes within the City's southwest neighborhood, may be considered in need of substantial rehabilitation. Within Tustin's housing stock, there are 308 units available to serve the special needs community, such as the elderly and the frail elderly. There are 242 units available to the homeless population which includes emergency and transitional housing. Facilities to serve the homeless within Tustin include the Orange County Rescue Mission's Village of Hope, Mercy House Emergency Shelter, OC Social Services' Tustin Family Campus, Human Options, Laurel House, and Olive Crest. Barriers or impediments to affordable housing are caused when the incentive to develop this housing is removed due to excessive development costs or the lack of community commitment. Some development costs are motivated by economic conditions and other issues that affected the real estate market, and are outside the control of local government. In addition, the development of affordable housing is affected by both the economic market conditions and the housing policies of federal, state and local governments, and the "Not In My Back Yard" (NIMBY) phenomenon. Although federal and state environmental regulations are implemented at the local level, these policies have and seem to continue to add to the cost of development. Public policy and community issues that may potentially affect the cost of development and housing projects within the City include the following: land use development; cost of labor and materials; cost of land; environmental problems (wastewater, floodplains, and capacity); and, deed restrictions and covenants. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 56 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) With regard to Tustin's job market, the California State Department of Employment Development (EDD) estimates that the unemployment rate statewide during December 2014 was 7 %, as compared with a rate of 7.1% within Santa Ana, 5.7% within Anaheim, 3.3% within Irvine, and a rate of approximately 4.3% within the City of Tustin. According to 2007 -2011 ACS and 2011 Longitudinal Employer - Household Dynamics data indicated that the largest proportion of jobs in the City of Tustin were in professional, scientific, and management services (15 %), the arts, entertainment, and accomodations (13 %), followed by education and health care services (11 %). There are 31,109 jobs total within the community and 32,459 workers to fill those jobs. The Market Analysis Section of the Consolidated Plan further discusses the region within Tusitn demonstrating the greatest need, and containing the highest popualtion of very-low, low, and moderate income residents. The City focuses on spending CDBG funding to directly benefit this population, and this region.

Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 60 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) MA -15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction Following county and state -wide trends, the City of Tustin's cost of housing has increased. According to 2000 Census and 2007 -2011 ACS data, the median home value increased from $251,000 in the year 2000, to $540,500 by the year 2011.

The majority of housing stock is available to those with moderate income levels, according to 2007 -2011 CHAS data within Table 31. A majority of the units available to the extremely -low (0 % -30% HAMFI *), low (30 % -50% HAMFI), and moderate (50 % -80% HAMFI) income populations are rental units. It follows that there are fewer units available to this population for ownership, with a majority of ownership housing available to the population at 80% -100% HAMFI income level. The very-low and low income populations are relatively similar in size and have fewer units available to them. * HUD Adjusted Median Family Income How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and /or rents? According to Census data, ACS data, and data from the California Association of Realters, trends in the housing market suggest that affordability of units will continue decrease as the rents and values increase. The distinction between renter and owner housing overpayment /affordablity is important because, while homeowners may over - extend themselves financially to afford the option of home purchase, the owner always maintains the option of selling the home, thereby generally lowering housing costs. In addition, home ownership affords tax benefits to reduce monthly costs. Renters however, are limited to the rental market, and are generally required to pay the rent established in that market. According to the American Community Survey data, of the total 4,585 lower income households identified as over - payers, 3,368 were renter households and 1,217 were owner households. This discrepancy is largely reflective of the disproportionate number of rental housing units in the City and the tendency of renter households to have lower incomes than owner 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 City of Tustin does not utilize HOME funding. Discussion The City's 2013 Housing Element states that the cost of housing have put home - ownership beyond the reach of many potential first -time homebuyers. In addition to information related to Housing Constraints provided in the City's Housing Element Technical Memorandum, a Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy was prepared in 2008. The report contains a detailed affordability gap analysis to illustrate the "gap" between the cost of developing housing for rent and ownership and what households at a variety of income levels can afford to pay toward their housing expenses. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 63 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA -20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing- 91.210(a) Introduction According to 2007 -2011 ACS data, Table 33 displays information on the housing stock that contains none, one, or more of the following housing problems: lacks complete kitchen facilities; lacks complete plumbing facilities; has more than one person per room; or, has a housing -cost burden greater than 30%. It is shown in the data that owner- occupied homes with none of the abovementioned conditions comprises the majority of Tustin's housing stock at 54%, while owner - occupied homes with one of the selected conditions comprises 44 %. There are 2% of owner - occupied homes with two of the selected conditions, and there are no owner - occupied homes within Tustin's housing stock with three or four of the conditions. With regard to renter - occupied units, 38% have none of the abovementioned conditions while 53% have one of the conditions and 9% have two of the conditions. Similar to the owner - occupied homes, Tustin's renter - occupied housing stock has less than 1% of its units with three conditions and none with four conditions. According to the City of Tustin's 2013 Housing Element, 2011 ACS data provides that 56% of the City's housing stock is 30 years old or older - the age at which housing typically begins to require major repairs. In addition, the lack of adequately sized affordable housing can lead to overcrowding and in turn, deteriorated housing conditions. Maintenance and improvement of existing housing conditions over the long term will require ongoing maintenance of existing units, rehabilitaion or replacement of substandard housing and programs to maintain neighborhood quality. Definitions Substandard Condition: Unit that substantially lacks any of the following: roof, walls and windows that do not leak; working plumbing or gas facilities; water supply of hot and cold running water connected to a sewage disposal system; heating system that works; electrical lighting and wiring in working order; building and grounds kept clean, sanitary, free from garbage, rodents and vermin; adequate number of garbage cans or dumpster in good repair; floors, stairways and railing in good repair; and other standards established by state or local codes. Substandard Suitable for Substantial Rehabilitaton: Units with conditions that are found to be substandard are where the value of the units constitute 25% of the after - rehabilitaton value of the units, inclusive of the land value.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation According to 2007 -2011 CHAS data within Table 34, 48% of owner - occupied and 65% of renter - occupied units are 36 years old or older. When the housing stock is 30 years old or older, it reaches the age at which housing typically begins to require major repairs. There is a higher percentage of units 36 years old or older within Tustin's housing stock, therefore owner and rental rehabilitation may be required. Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards Although accurate information is not available and no formal assessment has been prepared, Tustin is required to estimate the number of housing units within the City that are occupied by low- income or moerate income households that may have lead -based paint hazards. However, without an actual survey of units in the City, the numbers of units with actual hazards is difficult to determine. Instead Table 35 provides an estimate of the number of units that may possibly contain lead -based paint based on percentages typically found within the housing stock. Discussion Despite the statistic that 56% of Tustin's housing stock is 30 years old or older, the overall housing stock is generally in good condition. According to the City's Code Enforcement staff and the Neighborhood Improvement Task Force, which is comprised of staff from various City departments, less than 10% of the City's housing stock is in need of minor repairs. Only 2% of the total housing units, particularly existing four - plexes within the City's southwest neighborhood (CDBG Low /Mod Census Tract Target Area), may be considered in need of substantial rehabilitation. Code Enforcement staff estimates that there are approximately 200 illegal units /conversions citywide which would need to be brought up to City Code standards, or demolished. To date, the City has not identified any housing units in need of replacement. The City of Tustin takes a proactive approach toward housing conditions through the City's Code Enforcement program and the Neighborhood Improvement Task Force program. Together, these programs allow the City to identify housing units in need of repair and provide assistance needed to maintain the City's housing stock in good condition.

The Regional Center of Orange County (RCOC) is one of 21 regional centers in California that provides point of entry to services for people with developmental disabilities. The RCOC is a private, non - profit community agency that contracts with local businesses to offer a wide range of services to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. 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. Within the City of Tustin, there are a variety of non - profit services which provide direct housing and other services to homeless persons. These include a transitional housing facility, temporary housing for teenagers in crisis and a meals program affiliated with the Community SeniorServ. A number of churches in Tustin also provide food services to the homeless. The transitional or emergency shelters serving Tustin residents are the Orange County Rescue Mission Village of Hope facility with 192 units /beds, Sheepfold, Laurel House, Tustin Family Campus in connection with Orangewood Children's Home with 92 units /beds, Human Options, and Olive Crest. The 38 -bed Sheepfold transitional housing facility, located in "Old Town' Tustin, provides shelter, food, clothing, job training, and job - referral services to women with children. Guests are admitted on a first - come, first serve basis. Usually all beds are filled. In addition to serving the immediate Tustin area, The Sheepfold provides service to a large service area extending beyond Tustin's boundaries, including many portions of Orange and San Bernardino Counties. Laurel House provides temporary housing for teenagers in crisis (homeless and runaway youth) for up to six 6 youths in a home environment. The facility also provides food, informal counseling, access to medical care and clothing. The young people served are primarily Tustin residents and students of Tustin Unified School District. Olive Crest provides shelter and counseling to teenagers who are about to emancipate from the foster care system into independent living. They are also taught life skills such as making and following a budget, job search and interview skills to help them succeed when they live as independent adults. The Community SeniorSery focuses its resources toward the needs of senior citizens, including residents within the City of Tustin, by providing nutrition and supportive services, dining centers, home delivered meals, case management, in -home care, day health care centers, and adult day care. Services are offered to anyone who is in need, but primarily to seniors countywide. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 70 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) A number of local churches in Tustin also provide services to the homeless and low income families including St. Cecilia's, Redhill Lutheran which has a food pantry three days a week, Tustin Presbyterian Church which distributes collected food through the TAFFY Program and Tustin Senior Center, and Aldersgate Church which provides food to the Commercial Service Alliance. A couple of non - profits organizations such as Western Medical Center and Newport Medical Center also provide meals once a week to the homeless and low- income families. Numerous other agencies provide shelter and other services to the homeless in the nearby cities of Santa Ana, Irvine, and Orange. The City of Tustin makes referrals to these agencies, which include Mercy House Transitional Center in Santa Ana. The Orange County Homeless Issues Task Force, a non- profit homeless advocacy organization, maintains a list of these and other homeless services in Orange County. In the City of Tustin's 2008 -2018 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), included within the affordable housing program elements, are programs targeted to prevent low- income individuals and families with children from becoming homeless. These programs include: Homeless Housing Partnership Program and Section 8 Rental Assistance. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 71 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA -35 Special Needs Facilities and Services — 91.210(d) Introduction Certain segments of the population may have a more difficult time finding decent, affordable housing due to special circumstances. These groups may require specific alterations to housing to meet their needs. In the requirements for preparing a Consolidated Plan, Tustin addresses the special needs and suitability of the housing stock the elderly, disabled, large families, the homeless and farm workers, as summarized below. Including 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 Elderly Persons Currently Tustin has a total of 190 affordable senior housing units and 24 assisted living facilities. The affordable senior housing units include a 100 units restricted to seniors (Tustin Gardens), a 20 -unit apartment project limited solely to seniors with limited income (Tustin Terrace), an 16 apartment units that are State Bond /Tax Credit restricted (Westchester Park), and a 54 -unit apartment project (Heritage Place). The special housing needs of the elderly are an important concern to the City of Tustin. This is especially significant because many retired persons are likely to be on fixed low incomes, and at greater risk of housing overpayment. In addition, the elderly maintain special needs related to housing construction and location. The elderly often require ramps, handrails, lower cupboards and counters to allow greater access and mobility. In terms of location, because of limited mobility the elderly also typically need access to public facilities (for example, medical and shopping requirements) and public transit services. Elderly citizens also may need special security devices for their homes to allow greater self - protection. In many instances, the elderly prefer to stay in their own dwellings rather than relocate to a retirement community, and may require assistance with home repairs and manual house /yard work. In general, every effort should be made to maintain their dignity, self- respect, and quality of life. Finding reliable means of transportation to medical appointments, senior centers, meal sites and shopping are also continued concerns for seniors. Many seniors lack private transportation due to physical or financial limitations. The major County providers of important programs specifically for Orange County's older adult population are: Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 72 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) • Office on Aging (OoA) • CalOPTIMA • Health Care Agency (HCA) • Housing and Community Development Department (H &CD) • Public Administrator /Public Guardian (PA /PG) • Social Services Agency (SSA) • Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) • Veterans Services Office (VSO) Large Families As evidenced by the survey of costs, discussed previously, for single - family rental units available, lower income; large families with larger unit needs may have problems finding housing or may require assistance. Data from 2007 -2011 CHAS reports that 3,485 households in the City of Tustin with five or more persons, which constitute 14% of all households in the City. Large family households need special consideration because they generally require larger dwellings with sufficient bedrooms to meet their housing needs, without overcrowding. Additionally, there is a limited availability of 3+ bedroom apartment units in the City available to meet the needs of large families. Furthermore, family households with five or more persons often face limitations in being below national poverty levels, and often experience difficulty securing adequate housing suitable for their expanded needs. Difficulties in securing housing large enough to accommodate all members of a household are heightened for renters, because multifamily rental units are typically smaller than single - family units. Thus, large families typically suffer disproportionately from both overcrowding and inability to pay. Supportive Housing Needs Cont. Disabled Persons Tustin's Housing Element sets forth policies to encourage the development of handicapped - accessible housing. New construction of apartment units (including 1,652 in the East Tustin Specific Plan project area) developed in the City of Tustin during the 1980s and 1990s have been constructed in accordance with the State's Title 24 requirements, which required 5 percent of the units on the ground floor to built as handicapped - accessible units. Access and affordability are the two major housing concerns of disabled persons. Access is particularly important for the physically disabled. Physically disabled persons often required specially designed dwellings to permit access within the unit, such as lowered countertops, wider doorways, and modified bathroom facilities, as well as to and from the site. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 73 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The disabled, like the elderly, have special needs with regard to the location of their housing units. There is typically a desire to be located near public facilities and needed services, as well as close proximity to public transportation facilities that often provide needed mobility for them. Female Headed Households According to the Public Policy Institute of California, single- mother households have had very high poverty rates in California (about 30 percent) compared to an overall rate of 13 percent. This is especially troubling because "...Single mothers in poverty may increasingly find themselves in a 'catch 22' situation: they may earn just enough from employment to move them beyond the income threshold necessary to qualify for means - tested public assistance, but not enough to provide for an adequate level of subsistence or to free them from the grasp of poverty." (Poverty and the Single Mother Family: A Macroeconomic Perspective, Bowen, et. al., 1995, p.117) Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing The following is a listing of the inventory of licensed care facilities in the City of Tustin. The listing provides inventory of housing or supportive housing by type of special needs group: Persons with Disabilities Casa Grande Community Care - Serves adults ages 18 -59 who are mentally disordered. Gallegos Family Home - Serves children ages 5 -17 who are developmentally disabled. Groom Family Home - Serves adults ages 18 -59 who are developmentally disabled. High Hopes Head Injury Program - Serves clients who have head and brain injuries. Scott Board and Care - Serves adults ages 18 -59 who are developmentally disabled. Arc Mid Cities - Serves adults ages 18 -59 who are developmentally disabled. Tustin Villageway Guesthome - Serves adults ages 18 -59 who are mentally disordered.

According to the Orange County Health Care Agency Public Health Division - HIV Community Services, cumulatively, since 1981, the City of Tustin has had 186 reported cases of AIDS, an incidence rate of 248.6 per 100,000. Throughout Orange County, an estimated 6,676 residents are living with AIDS. 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) With regard to activities which address other special -needs groups who are not homeless, the City's Senior Center is supportive in providing 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 Community SeniorSery to provide meal service to the elderly and frail elderly (home -bound elderly). The City will continue to refer persons with special needs, such as persons with disabilities (mental, physical, and developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug dependencies, and persons with HIV /AIDS to appropriate agencies.

Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 75 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA -40 Barriers to Affordable Housing — 91.210(e) Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment Barriers or impediments to affordable housing are caused when the incentive to develop this housing is removed due to excessive development costs or the lack of community commitment. Some development costs are motivated by economic conditions and other issues that affected the real estate market, and are outside the control of local government. In addition, the development of affordable housing is affected by both the economic market conditions and the housing policies of federal, state and local governments, and the "Not In My Back Yard" (NIMBY) phenomenon. Although federal and state environmental regulations are implemented at the local level, these policies have and seem to continue to add to the cost of development. Public policy and community issues that may potentially affect the cost of development and housing projects within the City include the following: • Land use development • Cost of labor and materials • Cost of land • Environmental problems (wastewater, floodplains, and capacity) • Deed restrictions and covenants Barriers to Affordable Housing Continued Discussion Zoning Ordinances Development standards include zoning ordinances, subdivision ordinances and building code requirements. The most far - reaching constraints are those contained in the City's zoning ordinance, which is the most traditional tool used by a local jurisdiction to regulate the use of private land. Zoning regulates the use, density, floor area, setbacks, parking, placement and mix of residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Zoning can also regulate the intensity of residential land use through minimum lot size requirements. The City, while encouraging housing, is also concerned about the living environment that is created based on standards such as: • Density • Height • Setbacks • Under grounding of utilities • Aesthetics • Parking Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 76 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Housing Development Fees Various fees and assessments are charged by the City and other outside agencies (e.g., school districts, sewer /sanitation agencies) to cover costs of processing permits and providing services and facilities, such as utilities, schools and infrastructure. Almost all of these fees are assessed based on the concept of cost recovery through a pro rata share system, based on the magnitude of the project's impact or the extent of the benefit which will be derived. Tustin is highly urbanized with most of its necessary infrastructure, such as streets, sewer and water facilities already in place. Nonetheless, site improvements can significantly add to the cost of producing housing. Cost - effective site planning or use of housing set -aside funds for those projects within the redevelopment project areas can minimize site improvement costs. Development Review Process The evaluation and review process required by City procedures contributes to the cost of housing in that holding costs incurred by developers are ultimately manifested in the unit's selling price. State Law establishes maximum time limits for project approvals and City policies provide for the minimum processing time necessary to comply with legal requirements and review procedures. Infrastructure Constraints All development within the City is scrutinized for its impacts on the community in transportation, sewer, parks, recreation and pedestrian use. The cost of new or improved infrastructure is often paid by the developer, who shifts the cost to the project, thus increasing the housing costs. Davis -Bacon Wage Compliance A prevailing wage must be paid to laborers when federal funds are used for any project over $2,000 or any multi - family project over eight units. The prevailing wage is usually higher than competitive wages. Davis -Bacon requires extensive paperwork that adds to housing costs to document the prevailing wages in order to comply with monitoring requirements. Floodplain Insurance When federal funds are used to rehabilitate homes or build new homes located in a floodplain zone, the developer or homeowner is required to obtain flood insurance. This requirement can be costly and impact low- income homeowners, especially where minor rehabilitation is involved. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 77 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Existing Needs Existing needs as discussed within the Needs Assessment Section of the Consolidated Plan include housing problems such as substandard housing lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, overcrowding, cost burdened families, and families with a disproportionately greater need.

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: Tustin's 2013 Housing Element identified the potential for establishing a Transit Oriented Development Housing Program. This program would provide funding to stimulate the production of higher density housing and related infrastructure within close proximity to qualifying transit stations (such as the Tustin Metrolink Station) that encourage increased public transit ridership and minimize necessary automobile trips. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 81 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 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 has identified marketing land within the Tustin Legacy Area as a high priority need. Marketing the land to establish retail, office, and professional uses will increase the job market in Tustin. How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? According to Table 40 which contains 2007 -2011 ACS data, there are 32,459 workers in the workforce with 31,109 jobs available within the City of Tustin. This indicates there is a surplus of workers to jobs available. A further breakdown of the businesses by sector in comparison of workers to jobs indicates that the following businesses have more workers than jobs available: agriculture, mining, oil, and gas extraction; arts, entertainment, and accomodations; construction; education and health care services; manufacturing; and, transportation and warehousing with the greatest disparity being within education and healthcare services as there is a surplus of 913 workers to jobs. Controversly, the following employment sectors have more jobs available than workers to fill those jobs: finance, insurance, and real estate; information; professional, scientific, and management services; retail trade; wholesale trade; and, other services with the greatest disparity being within the retail trade sector as there is a surplus of 1,395 jobs to workers. 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 City of Tustin has allocated CDBG funding toward a Job Creation and Business Incentive Program. This program would provide a forgivable loan for a new business hiring one full time equivalent low to moderate - income Tustin resident. The loans are forgivable after two years if the business complies with the program requirements. This program has been identified within the City's Consolidated Plan as a high priority economic development need. Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? No Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 82 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 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 Tustin does not participate in a CEDS; however, there are many Economic Development activities identified as priority needs within this five -year Consolidated Plan cycle which would further economic growth including: targeting defined business areas and assisting with a "Shop Locally Campaign;" carring out a Job Creation and Business Incentive Program; through coordination of City events to promote local restaurants; utilizing social media to promote Tustin businesses; and, through partnering with the Chamber of Commerce to host workshops for local businesses. Discussion The City of Tusin demonstrates a good "jobs- housing balance" in comparision to the region as a whole. The "jobs- housing balance" test is a general measure of a community's employment opportunities with respect to its residents' needs. A balanced community would reach equilibrium between employment and housing opportunities so the majority of the residents could also work within the community. The 2011 jobs- housing balance for the City of Tustin as well as Orange County and the Southern California region. Tustin had a jobs /housing ratio of 1.40 in 2011, while Orange County and the region had jobs /housing ratios of 1.38 and 1.23, respectively. This demonstrates that Tustin is a job -rich community when compared to county and regional averages. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Ex MA -50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration ") Included within this section of the Consolidated Plan are CPD Maps which display the concentration of families of Extremely Low Income, Low Income, and Moderate Income who are experiencing at least one of the four severe housing problems which are discussed within the Needs Assessment section of this Plan. These families are generally concentrated within Tustin's CDBG Low /Mod Census Tract Target Area, which is the southwestern portion of Tustin. The definition of "concentration" for these purposes, includes census tracts in which 51% or more of the population has one of the four housing problem. 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 data obtained from CPD Maps (below), minority concentrations and low- income family concentrations are also located within certain census tracts which fall within the overall CDBG Low /Mod Income Target Area. "Areas of racial /ethnic minority concentration" are defined as those Census tracts where a minority population; that being a race or ethnic group with a minority representation City -wide, has a percentage equal to or greater than the percentage representation City -wide. "Areas of low- income concentration" are defined as those Census blocks /tracts where the concentration of low- and moderate - income persons is at least 51 percent. However, certain communities are allowed to use the "exception criteria" and to undertake area benefit activities in any residential areas where the proportion of low and moderate - income persons falls within the upper quartile of all areas within the community's jurisdiction. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas /neighborhoods? Characteristics of the housing market within these areas /neighborhoods includes that families are generally of low to moderate income and will thus have greater housing cost burdens, and may experience one or more of the four housing problems referenced within the Needs Assessment section of this Consolidated Plan. They will have the need for affordable housing opportunities and additional supportive services. Are there any community assets in these areas /neighborhoods? Community assets within these area /neighborhoods include multiple City parks, the Tustin Area Senior Center, Tustin Family Youth Center, and Kids Corner Preschool. A majority of the residents served by these facilties are low /mod income. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 84 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 )exp. 07/31/2015) Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The City of Tustin utilizes CDBG funding within this Low /Moderate Income Census Tract Target Area for public facilities needs, infrastructure /improvements, public services needs including youth and senior services, and economic development. There are opportunities to continue to initiate improvements to existing facilities, or fund the creation of new facilities to better serve the residents in this area. The City of Tustin will continue to focus the spending of CDBG funding within this Target Area.

The dissolution of the City's Redevelopment Agency has further impacted available funding for priority needs. Nonetheless, throughout the fiscal year, the City will pursue additional funding opportunities. The City's aim is to leverage, to the maximum extent feasible, the use of available federal, State, and local funds in an effort to create a viable community, develop new affordable housing opportunities, and maintain and preserve existing housing. To ensure the financial feasibility of a project, the City will consider the use of funds from other sources, such as the City's Housing Authority set -aside funds, to further affordable housing and community development goals whenever a match, grant, or loan is necessary or appropriate.

Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 139 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP -55 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.215(h) Barriers to Affordable Housing Barriers or impediments to affordable housing are caused when the incentive to develop this housing is removed due to excessive development costs or the lack of community commitment. Some development costs are motivated by economic conditions and other issues that affected the real estate market, and are outside the control of local government. In addition, the development of affordable housing is affected by both the economic market conditions and the housing policies of federal, state and local governments, and the "Not In My Back Yard" (NIMBY) phenomenon. Although federal and state environmental regulations are implemented at the local level, these policies have and seem to continue to add to the cost of development. Public policy and community issues that may potentially affect the cost of development and housing projects within the City include the following: • Land use development • Cost of labor and materials • Cost of land • Environmental problems (wastewater, floodplains, and capacity) • Deed restrictions and covenants Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the 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 programs listed below are identified as the means by which the City of Tustin will address barriers to affordable housing: • Second Units • Deed Restrictions • Fees, Extractions, and Permit Procedures • Environmental Constraints • Pre - application Conferences • Shared Housing • Permit Processing and Coordination • Section 8 Rental Assistance • Housing Referral Program • Density Bonus Program • Mixed Use Zoning Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 140 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) SP -60 Homelessness Strategy — 91.21S(d) Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs Available statistics currently indicate that the City of Tustin does not have a significant population nor subpopulation of homeless persons or homeless families with children. The City anticipates that homeless persons and homeless persons with children will be assisted on an as needed basis by making appropriate referrals to organizations or agencies that provide shelter, food and other services for homeless persons and homeless families with children. However, the City of Tustin recognizes that homelessness is a regional issue which needs to be addressed by all jurisdictions regardless of individual circumstances. The City of Tustin's Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) for 2008 -2018 identifies the Homeless Housing Partnership Program. The Homeless Housing Partnership program provides assistance for supportive housing and supportive services to help homeless persons and families transition from homelessness to living as independently as possible. The Homeless Housing Partnership Program includes 192 transitional housing units at the Village of Hope campus (operated by the Orange County Rescue Mission) to facilitate the movement of homeless individuals and families to permanent housing within 24 months and supportive services designed to address the special needs of homeless persons. To address the regional needs of homeless individuals and families, the City of Tustin participates in the Continuum of Care (CoQ program sponsored through the County of Orange. The purpose of the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs is to fund projects that will fill gaps in locally developed Continuum of Care systems to assist homeless persons to move to self- sufficiency and permanent housing. An important element of meeting this objective is to fund projects that will meet the Department's goal of ending chronic homelessness. Since the year 2000, the County of Orange has coordinated an "Associated Application" for homeless assistance on behalf of all jurisdictions and agencies in the County of Orange who wished to participate. The County of Orange /Housing and Community Services Department (HCS) is responsible for oversight, planning and coordination of the Continuum of Care Strategy, application process, and project evaluation and prioritization. A Continuum of Care system is developed through a community -wide process involving nonprofit organizations, government agencies, other homeless providers, housing developers, services providers, private foundations, neighborhood groups, and homeless or formerly homeless persons. Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Emergency shelter and transitional housing needs for the City of Tustin's homeless population is addressed through the County of Orange's Continuum of Care Program. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 141 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07 /31/2015) The Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC) system consists of five basic components: 1. Advocacy on behalf of those who are homeless or at -risk of becoming homeless and to ensure social justice is maintained for all residents regardless of socio- economic status; 2. A system of outreach, assessment, and prevention for determining the needs and conditions of an individual or family who is homeless; 3. Emergency shelters with appropriate supportive services to help ensure that homeless individuals and families receive adequate emergency shelter and referral to necessary service providers or housing finders; 4. Transitional housing with appropriate supportive services to help those homeless individuals and families who are not prepared to make the transition to permanent housing and independent living; and S. Permanent housing, or permanent supportive housing, to help meet the long -term needs of homeless individuals and families. The 2009 Continuum of Care SuperNOFA is designed to fund the following components in the Orange County Continuum of Care system for homeless individuals and families: (1) homeless outreach and assessment, (2) transitional housing and appropriate supportive services, and (3) permanent housing or permanent supportive housing, and 4) HMIS. The remaining components of the Orange County's system of care are funded through a variety of other sources. In conjunction with the CoC, each year, the County of Orange conducts a regional homeless needs assessment. Hundreds of homeless shelters and service providers throughout the County are surveyed to count: • Existing inventory of beds and services • Number of homeless • Homeless demographics • Housing Authority "waiting list" statistics • Social Services Agency welfare statistics • Health Care Agency statistics for homeless • Other regional data In addition, the City of Tusitn has five transitional or emergency shelters within the City. They are the Orange County Rescue Mission Village of Hope facility, Sheepfold, Laurel House, Human Options, and Olive Crest. 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 Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 142 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. The Homeless Housing Partnership program provides assistance for supportive housing and supportive services to help homeless persons and families transition from homelessness to living as independently as possible. The Homeless Housing Partnership Program includes 192 transitional housing units at the Village of Hope campus (operated by the Orange County Rescue Mission) to facilitate the movement of homeless individuals and families to permanent housing within 24 months and supportive services designed to address the special needs of homeless persons. 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 The following strategy not only addresses the City of Tustin's efforts to assist individuals and families in avoiding becoming homeless, but addresses the overall strategy for assisting the homeless with individual needs, transitional housing needs, and permanent housing needs. The strategy addresses the following: 1. Helping low- income families avoid becoming homeless. 2. Reaching out to homeless persons and assessing their individual needs. 3. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons. 4. Helping homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent living. The City of Tustin will meet these needs of homeless persons and homeless families with children through the following strategies: 1. Continue to refer homeless persons and homeless families with children to service agencies and organizations; 2. Support agencies which provide shelter and other services to the homeless through financial contributions funded through the CDBG Program. 3. Provide for and support the establishment of a homeless accommodation strategy in the reuse of Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin. The City of Tustin has prepared a Reuse /Specific Plan for Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin, which was closed July 1999. The Reuse Plan provides the following fundamental guiding principles: a. Coordination and cooperation among the Cities of Tustin and Irvine, support service providers, school districts and advocates for the homeless should be promoted. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 143 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) b. Creating a program and service system separate from the mainstream is inefficient and not consistent with the concept of breaking the cycle of homelessness. c. Established public and private providers should be used for delivery on -site or off -site (by contracting and visiting clinical personnel) of certain program and services. This should be the preferred approach and will assist in the streamlining and consolidation of existing programs. d. Linkages with job- training, employment and education should be encouraged. Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 144 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP -65 Lead based paint Hazards — 91.215(i) Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards Although accurate information is not available and no formal assessment has been prepared, Tustin is required to estimate the number of housing units within the City that are occupied by low- income or moderate income households that may have Lead Based Paint (LBP) hazards. However, without an actual survey of units in the City, the numbers of units with actual hazards (physical, chemical, etc.) is difficult to determine. Instead, the following discussion and Table 9 within the Housing Market Analysis section of this Consolidated Plan, provides an estimate of the number of units that may possibly contain LBP based on percentages typically found within the housing stock. In deriving this estimate, a review of housing unit age data from the 2007 -2011 ACS and 2007 -2011 CHAS was utilized. The data states that of the total units built before 1980, 6,358 or 48% of owner - occupied units and 7,651 or 65% of renter - occupied units are at risk for LBP hazards. In addition, in housing units built before 1980 with children present, 1,350 or 10% of owner occupied units and 790 or 7% of renter - occupied units are at risk. To address the potential threat of lead -based paint within homes in Tustin, the City will implement into its housing policies over the next five years the following: • Include lead -based paint hazard reduction as an eligible rehabilitation activity through the City's CDBG grant program. • 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. • Require inspections for lead at appropriate times when housing is otherwise being inspected or evaluated. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Despite the use of the above methodology, the City believes that it is highly unlikely that the estimated total of 14,009 units, contain LBP hazards. The properties most at risk are those with deteriorated units, particularly those with leaky roofs and plumbing. The Census also revealed that rental properties in Tustin built between the years of 1940 -1959 have the largest percentage (55 percent) of lower income households occupying them. This may give indication to the greatest area of need for assessment (approximately 154 units). According to the Orange County Public Health - Epidemiology Division, the City of Tustin had six persons who reported incidents of lead poisoning between 1990 and 2000. Between 2000 and 2009 the City of Tustin had five cases of children under the age of 16 who met the case definition of requiring a home visit and environmental investigation for the presence of elevated lead levels. It can also be assumed Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 145 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 )exp. 07/31/2015) that lower income households often occupy older, lower cost housing units, and residents occupying older housing units experience the highest incidence of lead based poisoning. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? To address the potential threat of lead -based paint within homes in Tustin, the City will implement into its housing policies over the next five years the following: • Include lead -based paint hazard reduction as an eligible rehabilitation activity through the City's CDBG grant program. • 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. • Require inspections for lead at appropriate times when housing is otherwise being inspected or evaluated.

Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 152 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Expected Resources AP -15 Expected Resources — 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction There are several potential sources of funding that might enable the City of Tustin to address housing and community development priority needs and the specific objectives identified in the Strategic Plan component of the Consolidated Plan; however, as a result of the lower levels of State and federal funding than in prior years, actual financial resources currently available to the City are somewhat limited. The dissolution of the City's Redevelopment Agency has further impacted available funding for priority needs. Nonetheless, throughout the fiscal year, the City will pursue additional funding opportunities. The City's aim is to leverage, to the maximum extent feasible, the use of available federal, State, and local funds in an effort to create a viable community, develop new affordable housing opportunities, and maintain and preserve existing housing. To ensure the financial feasibility of a project, the City will consider the use of funds from other sources, such as the City's Housing Authority set -aside funds, to further affordable housing and community development goals whenever a match, grant, or loan is necessary or appropriate. Within Section SP -45 (Goals Summary) of the Consolidated Plan, the City's estimates for CDBG funding and General Fund monies are provided in addressing each goal.

These programs include: • Funding for nonprofits to assist with the acquisition of Section 8 project -based projects with expiring contracts. Strategies to preserve existing affordable housing units include: • 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 —CDBG funding will be used to provide code enforcement activities focused in Low- and Moderate - income neighborhoods. Code enforcement efforts support the City's housing rehabilitation program, which is funded with non - Federal monies. • Provide opportunities for affordable secondary residential dwelling units in single - family residential districts through existing Zoning Ordinance provisions. • Continue the provision of counseling and dispute resolution services via the Fair Housing Foundation. • Continue the provision of services by the Fair Housing Foundation 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. Annual Action Plan 2015 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 2 Goal Name First -Time Homebuyer /Workforce Housing Goal Based on the U.S. Census Bureau's 2011 American Community Survey, there are 6,617 renter households out of a total of Description 11,833 renter households (56 %) within Tustin that are "cost burdened" renters. This presents an opportunity for Low- and Moderate - income renter households to transition to homeowners, with some assistance. To address these opportunities, the City will provide technical assistance to assist Low- to Moderate - income households by identifying existing public and private lender financing programs. Additionally, the City will continue to monitor the Villages of Columbus and Tustin Field housing tracts at Tustin Legacy where 273 affordable housing unit covenants remain for 45 years. Tustin Legacy housing developers are required to comply with the City's inclusionary housing requirements as specified in the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. Specifically PY 2015 -16 programs include the following: • The City will provide referrals or direct assistance to Low- and Moderate - income households to help them identify and /or apply for homebuyer downpayment.assistance programs that offer low interest rates and /or deferred interest loans. Programs include those offered by the State and Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) lender programs. • Assist Low- and Moderate - income homebuyers with a deferred second mortgage program for the amount of a buyer's "affordability gap." During the 2015 -16 Program Year, the City anticipates providing assistance to 10 households. Annual Action Plan 2015 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 3 Goal Name New Housing Construction Goal With the exception of development opportunities occurring on the available land from the reuse at the former MCAS- Tustin Description base site (i.e., Tustin Legacy), the City of Tustin is mostly built out. Consequently, the City has limited opportunities for new ownership and rental construction on infill sites in the City; however, the following programs have been designed to assist with the development of affordable units within newly constructed projects in any portion of the City. Programs include: • New Ownership Housing Construction • New Rental Units Strategies to encourage new housing construction include: • The City will support the development of new affordable ownership within Tustin Legacy. • 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 when necessary for the development and operation of federally assisted Low- and Moderate - income housing programs. • Allow for the development of affordable rental apartments. During the 2015 -16 Program Year, the City anticipates providing two new housing units through Habitat for Humanity. Annual Action Plan 2015 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 10 4 Goal Name Mortgage Credit Certification Goal The City will provide assistance to Low- and Moderate - income households to help them identify and /or apply for Description homebuyer downpayment assistance programs that offer low interest rates and /or deferred interest loans. Programs include those offered by the State and Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) lender programs. Additional programs include the MCC (Mortgage Credit Certification) Program which reduces the federal income taxes paid by first time homebuyers. Eligible first time homebuyers receive a tax credit, reducing the amount of their federal income tax by 15% of the annual interest they pay on their mortgage. Program participants have the option to utilize their tax credit immediately and reduce the current amount of federal income tax withheld from their wages. The tax credit may also assist in qualifying for a home loan. During the 2015 -16 Program Year, the City anticipates assisting two households. Annual Action Plan 2015 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015( 11 5 Goal Name Strategies to Address Homelessness Goal This priority encourages activities which support the homeless, those at -risk of being homeless, and families in transition Description from homelessness to independent living, by providing support services, counseling, and transitional housing. Programs include: • Homeless Housing Partnership Program • Mercy House • Olive Crest Transitional Housing Placement Program Strategies for support of ancillary services to support the homeless include: • Continue to support Orange County Social Services Agency programs in conjunction with the Tustin Family Campus for abused and neglected children. • Mercy House— Mercy House Cold Weather Shelter Armory Program provides emergency shelter and support services to the homeless population. CDBG funds will be used towards shelter supplies provided to the homeless. • Olive Crest — Olive Crest provides shelter, support, education, and counseling to youth (16 —19 years old) transitioning out of the foster care system.

Establishment of a new youth center /child care facility within the Tustin Legacy area anticipated during the 2015 -16 Program Year. 9 Goal Name Other Youth Programs Goal Youth centers /services have been identified by the community as essential to provide recreational options to area Description youth. The target area for the CDBG program is severely limited in terms of park and recreation resources that are available to area youth desiring to participate in constructive, affordable, and organized activities. Therefore, priority programs to address the need for youth centers and services within the City of Tustin include: • 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 free and affordable recreation services to children, the majority of whom are of Low - income families. • Boys and Girls Club —The Upward Bound enrichment program is provided by the Boys and Girls Club for the academic, social, and character development needs of at -risk youth in the southwest area of Tustin (CDBG Low- and Moderate - income tracts). The Upward Bound program provides a comprehensive non - student day program for 100 at -risk youth with computerized tutoring and homework assistance, arts, sports, fitness and recreation. CDBG funds will be utilized to pay for a portion of staff's salary. Additional childcare facilities and services that are affordable to Low- and Moderate - income families are needed to serve the number of families in need in the target area. • Kids Corner Preschool —A preschool program will be provided at the Tustin Family and Youth Center. Free preschool services will benefit Low- and Moderate - income families.

Annual Action Plan 2015 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 13 10 Goal Name Existing Parks /Recreation Facilities Goal The City's CDBG target area was largely developed prior to its annexation by the City of Tustin; therefore, the area is Description comparatively limited in terms of park and recreational opportunities. The higher population density within the target area also contributes to the need for more 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. Programs to address this priority include: • Frontier Park Playground — CDBG funding was allocated in the '14 -'15 Program year and will be used for the replacement of the entire playground area and will include new play structures for both 2 -5 and 5 -12 year olds, a new playing surface, and new accessible compliant ramps. This project will improve park experience by providing more amenities for the residents and their children. During the 2015 -16 Program Year, the City anticipates renovations at one park. 11 Goal Name Infrastructure Improvements Goal The majority of the streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure in the CDBG target area, were constructed more than 40 years Description ago. Also, some portions of the target area were never developed with storm drain and /or sidewalks. These facilities have reached the age where they are beginning to deteriorate more rapidly and require reconstruction. With the population growing, the need for new street surfacing and infrastructure is also increasing. The City's objective is to promote the improvement of existing infrastructure and the creation of new infrastructure where such infrastructure is nonexistent or completely inadequate. Infrastructure improvements include: • Laurelwood Curb Ramp Construction Project - CDBG funding will be utilized for the Laurelwood curb ramp construction project. The Laurelwood tract of homes is located within a the CDBG Low /Mod Income Census Tract Target Area. • Old Town Street Improvements - Improvements to Main Street to incorporate traffic calming measures, make the street pedestrian friendly, create a gateway into Old Town Tustin. During the 2015 -16 Program Year it is anticipated that 5,740 residents within the project areas will directly benefit from the improvements. Annual Action Plan 2015 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 14 12 Goal Name Graffiti Removal Goal CDBG funds will be allocated for the removal of graffiti in the southwest neighborhood.

While Description the senior center is geographically close to the CDBG target area, multi - cultural and economic limitations may be preventing full participation in the center's programs. Additional services are necessary to target this population. Current programs include: • Community SeniorSery — Community SeniorServ's Nutrition Program for the elderly includes congregate and home - delivered meals. These programs provide nutritious meals to Tustin's elderly residents. The program's 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 home delivery of meals to at -risk seniors (homebound) residing within the City. CDBG funds will be allocated to reimburse the raw food and other meals' related costs. During the 2015 -16 Program Year, it is anticipated that SeniorSery will provide 300 congregate and /or home - delivered meals. Annual Action Plan 2015 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 15 14 Goal Name Economic Development Goal Stimulating and retaining business within the CDBG target areas is necessary to rejuvenate dilapidated areas, stimulate Description private investment, strengthen the City's financial base, improve public facilities, create jobs, and prevent further economic decline to enhance the quality of life in the area. City staff resources and funds will be utilized to assist businesses that benefit the CDBG target area. Programs assisting business includes: • Start up and Technical Assistance —The City Manager's office has assumed the responsibilities of economic development with the dissolution of the City's Redevelopment Agency. The City Manager's office provides businesses with access to a variety of financing programs authorized by either the federal or state government, as well as programs provided by other private, public and nonprofit agencies.

During the 2015 -16 Program Year, the City anticipates that five Economic Development Programs will be administered. 15 Goal Name Code Enforcement Goal Property maintenance issues are of significant importance to the community as the majority of residential, commercial, and Description industrial structures in the target area are around 45 years in age having been built in the late 1960's and 1970's. Absentee property owners contributed to delayed property maintenance in many cases. Active Code Enforcement is needed to ensure that properties are properly maintained in accordance with City standards.

This area is generally within the southwest area of the City. Funding for all CDBG activities within the City of Tustin will benefit the Low /Mod income population. Public Service activities must serve a majority of Low /Mod income residents, and Public Facilities projects must fall within the CDBG Low /Mod Census Tract Area. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds CDBG Low /Mod Census Tract Target Area 100 Table 4 - Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City of Tustin's rationale for prioritizing CDBG funds to be expended to directly benefit the low /mod income population or within those census tracts /block groups which have been identified as low /mod income tracts has not changed from that provided within the Consolidated Plan (Strategic Plan, Section 10). Discussion Tustin is a relatively small jurisdiction with limited areas which meet the federal criteria of slum and blight or concentrations of Low- and Moderate - income persons. Nevertheless, PY 2015 -16 funds have been allocated on the basis of meeting the national objectives of the CDBG program, including programs benefiting Low- and Moderate - income persons or possibly preventing slum and blight. Based on Consolidated Plan priorities, the City will focus public services and improvements in the portion of the City known as the Southwest Neighborhood which is also in the CDBG target area. The 2015 -16 Action Plan reflects this "geographic" priority for allocating investment as indicated on the CDBG Low -and Moderate - Income Areas and Project Locations maps.

Annual Action Plan 2015 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 30 AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i) Introduction Data maintained by the Tustin Police Department, indicates that homelessness is not a major issue within Tustin; 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 region's homeless. To this end, the City of Tustin participates in the County of Orange's annual Continuum of Care (CoC) application process. With regard to activities which address other special -needs groups who are not homeless, the City's Senior Center is supportive in providing 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 Community SeniorSery to provide meal service to the elderly and frail elderly (home -bound elderly). The City will continue to refer persons with special needs, such as persons with disabilities (mental, physical, and developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug dependencies, and persons with HIV /AIDS to appropriate agencies. The following organizations will utilize CDBG funding to provide homeless services and special needs services for PY 2015 -16: Mercy House through their Cold Weather Shelter Armory Program; Olive Crest through their Transitional Housing Placement Program; and, Community SeniorSery through their Senior Congregate and Home Delivered Meal Program. 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 Available statistics currently indicate that the City of Tustin does not have a significant population nor subpopulation of homeless persons or homeless families with children. The City anticipates that homeless persons and homeless persons with children will be assisted on an as needed basis by making appropriate referrals to organizations or agencies that provide shelter, food and other services for homeless persons and homeless families with children. However, the City of Tustin recognizes that homelessness is a regional issue which needs to be addressed by all jurisdictions regardless of individual circumstances. The City identifies the Homeless Assistance Plan, established for the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan area, as one of the strategies to address Annual Action Plan 2015 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 31 the homelessness issue. The Homeless Assistance Plan provides assistance for supportive housing and supportive services to help homeless persons and families transition from homelessness to living as independently as possible. The plan includes 192 transitional housing units at the Village of Hope facility to assist in the movement of homeless individuals and families to permanent housing within 24 months and supportive services designed to address the special needs of homeless persons. Other homeless service providers operating in the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan area are the Orange County Social Services Tustin Family Campus, Salvation Army, Orange Coast Interfaith, Families Forward, and Human Options. The City has developed a strategy that will continue to refer homeless persons and homeless families with children to service agencies and organizations. Through financial contributions, the City will support agencies which provide shelter and other services to the homeless. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Tustin and Orange County Rescue Mission executed a ground lease to support the Rescue Mission's construction /rehabilitation of a 5.1 acre site to establish a 192 -unit emergency and transitional housing project at the former MCAS Tustin. This emergency and transitional housing facility is currently in operation. With respect to PY 2015 -16, the City will allocate CDBG funds to Mercy House Armory, an emergency shelter program for homeless individuals, and Olive Crest, a transitional housing program for young adults in the foster care system. In addition, the Village of Hope is anticipated to establish 67 new transitional housing units, and the Rescue Mission is anticipated to establish 8 new transitional housing units specifically for veterans and their families. 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 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. Additional efforts to help the homeless also are provided by local nonprofits and churches. Annual Action Plan 2015 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 32 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. As stated above, the City of Tustin participates in the County of Orange Continuum Care process. Through this process the City is able to keep current with the region's homeless shelter and service needs. Additionally, through its partnership with the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA), Tustin renter households have access to OCHA's 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 help prevent homelessness. These activities include counseling programs for victims of domestic violence, at -risk youth, and youth services through the Tustin Family and Youth Center. Discussion Through the 2015 -16 Program Year, the City of Tustin will continue to support its Conolidated Plan priority needs and performance goal regarding a strategy for homelessnes through planned activities such as the Homeless Housing Partnership Program, Section 8 Rental Assistance, and providing administrative support for affordable housing activities. Annual Action Plan 2015 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 33 AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.2200) Introduction: Barriers or impediments to affordable housing are caused when the incentive to develop this housing is removed due to excessive development costs or the lack of community commitment. Some development costs are motivated by economic conditions and other issues that affected the real estate market, and are outside the control of local government. In addition, the development of affordable housing is affected by both the economic market conditions and the housing policies of federal, state and local governments, and the "Not In My Back Yard" (NIMBY) phenomenon.
