BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The California Housing Authorities Law of the California Health and Safety Code ("HSC") requires the Housing Authority submit to the legislative body and the California State Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") an annual report for the preceding fiscal year.. On March 15, 2011, the City Council approved Resolution No. 11-20 establishing the Tustin Housing Authority ("Housing Authority') in accordance with the California Housing Authorities Law ("CHAL"). On April 19, 2011, the Housing Authority Commissioners ("Commissioners") adopted Resolution HA No. 11-01 approving the By - Laws for the Housing Authority. On January 17, 2012, the Commissioners adopted Resolution HA No. 12-01, approving the assumption of housing assets and functions previously performed by the former Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency ("Agency"). The assumption of assets and functions became effective February 1, 2012. In accordance with Section 34328 of CHAL, the Housing Authority shall annually file on the first day of October with the City Clerk and HCD a complete report of its activities for the preceding year. The report shall contain information adequate for the City or HCD to determine the requirements of Section 34312.3 have been met for any activity undertaken pursuant to that section. The report shall also make either directly or through any national, regional, or state housing association or organization of which it may be a member, recommendations with reference to additional legislation or other action which it deems necessary to carry out the purposes of CHAL. As a result of assuming the Agency's assets and functions, the report is broken out into two sections. Section One outlines compliance with HSC Section 34312.3 and Section Two lists the activities associated with the assumption of the Agency's housing assets and functions. Pursuant to Section 34328.1 of CHAL, Section One of the annual report contains the following: Recommendations for needed legislation to carry on properly a program of housing and community development in this state. 2. Data on terminations of tenancies of victims of domestic violence in housing authority units, and terminations of Section 8 vouchers of victims of domestic violence. Agenda Report September 19, 2017 Page 3 a. The data shall be included in all cases where a notice of termination was given, regardless of whether the termination was based in whole or in part on activity related to the domestic violence, and whether the notice resulted in the victim vacating the premises or actual termination of the voucher. b. For each termination, the report shall briefly specify steps taken, if any, by the authority to address the situation or assist the victim prior to the termination, and, if known, the subsequent housing obtained by the victim. If no steps were taken, the authority may include an explanation of why none were deemed necessary. c. The report shall include data on terminations of all victims of domestic violence, as reported or known to the authority, its employees, or agents, whether or not an arrest was made or any report was filed. d. The report may include any other information regarding domestic violence victim terminations deemed relevant by the authority. e. For purposes of this section, "domestic violence" has the meaning set forth in Section 6211 of the Family Code. 3. Pursuant to Section 34328, the Housing Authority's annual report shall contain information adequate for the City and HCD to determine the requirements of Section 34312.3 have been met for any activity undertaken pursuant to that section. In accordance with Section 34312.3, the Housing Authority may do any of the following and report accordingly: a. Issue revenue bonds for the purpose of financing the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, refinancing, or development of multifamily rental housing and for the provision of capital improvements in connection with and determined necessary to the multifamily rental housing. b. Make or undertake commitments to make construction loans and mortgage loans to finance the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, refinancing, or development of multifamily rental housing. c.

Any activities where the authority developed, rehabilitated, or financed housing projects or participated in the development, rehabilitation, or financing of housing projects; or purchased, sold, leased, owned, operated, or managed housing projects so assisted, subject to all of the requirements of Section 34312.3 shall be reported. 5. A reporting breakdown of occupancy by income levels and rents for housing projects assisted by the authority that demonstrate compliance with the following: a. Not less than 20 percent of all units in housing projects are available for occupancy on a priority basis to persons of low income and base rents are adjusted for household size, as determined pursuant to Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. Sect 1437f) or its successor. b. Not less than one-half of the units are occupied by, or made available to very low income households, as defined by Section 50105 and rental payments for those units do not exceed the amount derived by multiplying 30 percent times 50 percent of the median adjusted gross income for Orange County, adjusted for family size. 6. Any indebtedness incurred pursuant to a mortgage loan finance under the terms of Section 34312.3 that is subject to acceleration and the balance owing declared immediately due and payable upon any sale of an owner -occupied residence to a purchaser who does not meet the required qualifications for borrowers as established by the authority. 7. Certification the authority is requiring the owners of housing projects assisted pursuant to Section 34312.3 to accept as tenants, on the same basis as all other prospective tenants, in the units reserved for very low income households, any very low income households who are recipients of federal certificates for rent subsidies pursuant to the existing program under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 1437f), or its successor. The authority shall not permit selection criteria to be applied to Section 8 certificate holders that is any more burdensome than the criteria applied to all other prospective tenants. 8. Certification that no resident in housing units assisted pursuant to Section 34312.3 shall be denied continued occupancy or ownership because, after admission, the resident's family income increases to exceed the eligibility level. However, the authority shall ensure that percentage requirements of this section shall continue to be met by providing the next available unit or units to persons of low income or by taking other actions to satisfy the percentage requirements of this section. 9. In determining whether the percentage requirements of subdivision (c) have been achieved, the following terms and conditions shall be applied: a. The requirement that 20 percent or 15 percent, as the case may be, of the housing units assisted by an authority pursuant to this section shall be Agenda Report September 19, 2017 Page 5 available on a priority basis, or occupied by, households whose adjusted gross income does not exceed the applicable limits prescribed by subdivision (c) shall apply to the aggregate number of units assisted by an authority pursuant to this section. b. This section applies only to housing units first assisted after January 1, 1983, and the percentage requirements of subdivision (c) shall be complied with by January 1, 1986, and on January 1 of each even -numbered year thereafter. c. The percentage requirements of subdivision (c) shall be achieved within each of the following categories: (1) rental housing developments; (2) homeownership developments; and (3) rehabilitation financing. Housing units provided by rehabilitation financing shall not be counted within either of the first two categories. 10. Units required to be reserved for occupancy by subdivision (c) and financed with the proceeds of bonds issued on or after January 1, 1986, shall remain occupied by, or made available to, those persons until the bonds are retired. 11. Multifamily rental housing financed pursuant to Section 34312.3 shall not be subject to the requirements of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) of subdivision (c), and the requirements of subdivision (d), if all of the following requirements are fulfilled: a. The housing authority offers each tenant a homeownership opportunity when the bonds are retired. b. A special trust fund or account which is funded with bond issuance proceeds or developer contributions, or both, is established no later than the time the multifamily rental housing is first occupied. The initial funding of the account shall be no less than 5 percent of the face value of the bonds issued for the multifamily rental housing project. Upon repayment of the bonds, these funds, and all interest accruing thereon, less any amounts necessary to pay outstanding claims, shall be used to assist housing units for persons of very low income. c. The requirements of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) and subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) shall remain in effect for the periods required by Section 103(b)(12)(B) of Title 26 of the United States Code. 12. It is the intent of the Legislature, and the Legislature declares, that housing authorities are the local entities with primary responsibility for providing housing for low-income and very low income households within their jurisdictions. However, recognizing that housing projects only for low-income households cannot be adequately assisted or developed with currently available funds, and that excess funds from housing projects assisted pursuant to this section can be utilized to further assist in the provision of housing for lower income households, it is the Agenda Report September 19, 2017 Page 6 intent of the Legislature that the authorization of this section is to be used to enhance and supplement the traditional housing authority role of providing housing only for low-income households. 13. The authority shall provide the Department of Housing and Community Development funds as requested by the department to reimburse the department for the cost of processing the report required by this section. ANALYSIS The Housing Authority has not participated in the construction or acquisition of housing projects as defined by CHAL and Section One of the attached annual report acknowledges the lack of activity accordingly. Section Two lists activity linked to former Agency functions and assets. Staff will be available to respond to any questions at the Housing Authority Commission and City Council meeting of September 19, 2017. As a result of the recommended actions, the Housing Authority's FY 2016-2017 Annual Report will be submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development prior to October 1, 2017. �- _C� (]Joh Buchanan for of Economic Development Tustin Housing Authority Janine Hernandez Management Assistant Tustin Housing Authority Jerry Craig Deputy Dir Tustin HZ rpf Edemo-mic Development ority Attachment: Tustin Housing Authority FY 2016-2017 Annual Report TUSTIN BUILDING OUR FUTURE HONORING OUR PAST TUSTIN HOUSING AUTHORITY ANNUAL REPORT FY 2016 - 2017 TUSTIN HOUSING AUTHORITY FY 2016 - 2017 ESTABLISHED The Tustin Housing Authority ("Housing Authority") was established on March 15, 2011 and the By -Laws were adopted on April 19, 2011.

As a result, the Housing Authority is requesting relief from HCD's requirement that the authority reimburse the department. SECTION TWO — ASSUMPTION OF AGENCY ASSETS & FUNCTIONS Effective February 1, 2012, the Housing Authority assumed the housing assets and functions of the former Agency. The assumption included three hundred five (305) covenant -restricted affordable housing ownership units, two (2) covenant -restricted senior affordable housing rental projects and two (2) loan -restricted affordable housing rental four-plexes. In FY 2012-2013, the homeowner of one covenant -restricted ownership unit paid off their first-time homebuyer loan, thus removing the affordability restrictions. In FY 2015-2016, sixteen (16) affordable housing covenants expired in the Tustin Grove development. On June 7, 2016, the Housing Authority Commission authorized the sale of two (2) Authority -owned affordable homes at market rate. One (1) of the units was acquired in order to cure an affordable moderate income homeowner's default and the second was acquired during a Trustee's Sale. The two (2) units were listed for sale in FY 2015-2016, both units sold, at market rate in FY 2016-2017. In FY 2016-2017, five (5) affordable housing covenants expired in the Ambrose Lane development. As of the reporting date, the Housing Authority is managing 281 covenant - restricted affordable housing units. The functions the Housing Authority assumed are detailed in the following FY 2016-2017 activities report: 1. The Housing Authority assisted two (2) existing homeowners sell their affordable housing units to income -eligible homeowners. Functions included the following: a. Provided existing homeowners with the maximum affordable sales price. The Housing Authority prepared maximum affordable sales price quotes for ten (10) homeowners who were considering selling their home; and b. Reviewed required application documents to determine income -eligibility of prospective homebuyers; and c. Reviewed title reports, appraisals, and purchase documentation in order to calculate the "silent second" the City would record against the property; and d. Prepared affordable housing documents for signature by both parties; and e. Followed up with the escrow company to insure all affordable housing documents were recorded against the property as prepared. In addition to affordable ownership sales activity, the Housing Authority assumed the functions of administering the Residential Rehabilitation Program and facilitating new affordable ownership purchases. As a result of the passage of AB1X 26, the Residential Rehabilitation Program has been suspended. The Housing Authority is exploring other alternatives for funding the Residential Rehabilitation Program. All housing developments, which included affordable housing ownership units, have been completed and the affordable housing units were sold prior to FY 2016-2017. There are currently no affordable housing ownership units planned for construction. The following table summarizes activity by income category for New Purchase, Resale and Rehab activity: Ownership Income Level New Purchases Resales Rehab TOTAL Very Low Income 0 0 0 0 Low Income 0 0 0 0 Moderate Income 0 2 0 2 TOTAL 0 2 0 2 2. The Housing Authority assisted six (6) affordable homeowners refinance their existing mortgage by subordinating the City's Silent Second to the new first mortgage. Five (5) of the 6 affordable homeowners successfully refinanced their mortgage, resulting in an average savings of $111.94 per month. Two (2) of the five reduced their loan term from 30 years to either 20, 15 or 10 years. 3. The Housing Authority is responsible for monitoring the affordability restrictions recorded against the 281 affordable ownership units located within six (6) housing developments. As a result of each development's different monitoring criteria, the Housing Authority mailed out two hundred sixty (260) "Annual Owner Certification" forms prior to the end of FY 2016-2017. Homeowners must initial and sign the forms and submit requested documentation. 4. Of the 281 units, the Housing Authority assumed eighteen (18) transitional housing units with three (3) non-profit agencies managing six (6) units each. As part of the Housing Authority's annual monitoring, the Authority requests an annual report from each of the agencies. The following is a summary of the activity occurring in FY 2016 - 2017: a. Twenty-nine (29) families were served. Nine (9) men, twenty-eight (28) women, and sixty-eight (68) children, and one (1) with disabilities. b. As of June 30, 2017, there were thirteen (13) families, with five (5) men, thirteen (13) women, and thirty-five (35) children in the program. c. Thirteen (13) families have moved into permanent housing: one (1) in unsubsidized ownership housing; four (4) are in subsidized rental housing; and eight (8) are in unsubsidized rental housing. d. Thirty (30) adults were employed before entering the program and three (3) additional adults obtained employment while in the program. Four (4) adults lost their job while in the program, of which four (4) were able to find a new job. Three (3) were unemployed throughout the program. Two (2) individuals received a promotion and six (6) received raises. One (1) individual received a pay reduction. e. Five (5) adults were attending college before entering the program and five (5) adults enrolled into either college, a trade school or GED program during the program. Two (2) adults received either a college degree, trade school certificate, high school diploma or completed their GED during the program. Two (2) children either completed their GED or obtained a high school diploma during the program. One (1) preschooler was enrolled in an Early Start or Head Start program. Fourteen (14) preschoolers were in child care. f. Twenty -three (23) families received counseling or life skills training during the program, totaling over two hundred and ninety-five (295) hours. In addition, eight (8) children received over ninety-five hours (95) of counseling specific to their needs. 5. The Housing Authority assumed the functions of monitoring the two (2) covenant - restricted senior affordable housing rental projects (Heritage Place and Coventry Court) and two (2) loan -restricted affordable housing four-plexes. There are (53) affordable units (17 — very low; and 36 — low) and one manager's unit at Heritage Place. As of June 30, 2017, 52 units were leased. At Coventry Court, one hundred fifty-three (153) of the two hundred forty (240) units are affordable (36 — very low; 61 — low; and 56 — moderate). As of June 30, 20177 (151) affordable units were leased. As a result of the passage of AB1X 26, the Residential Rehabilitation Program funded with Redevelopment funds was suspended. 6. During FY 2014 — 2015, both of the two covenant -restricted affordable housing rental projects in Tustin Legacy (Amalfi and Anton Legacy) began leasing. During FY 2015-2016, the Housing Authority assumed the functions of monitoring both projects. At Amalfi, thirty-seven (37) of the five hundred thirty-three (533) units are moderate -income, affordable units. As of June 30, 2017, (36) units were leased. There are two hundred twenty-five (225) affordable units (88 - very low; 73 — low; and 64 — moderate) at Anton Legacy. As of June 30, 20177 (86) very low, (69) low, and (61) moderate units were leased. The following table summarizes activity by income category for Rental Housing activity: Rental Housing Income Level Rehab Senior Family Very Low Income 0 52 86 Low Income 0 97 69 Moderate Income 0 54 97 TOTAL 0 203 252 7. As identified in the City's 2008-09/2017-18 Comprehensive Affordable Housing Strategy, there were two hundred seventy-seven (277) affordable rental units in Tustin which were at -risk due to expiring affordability restrictions. These units are not restricted by agreements with the Housing Authority and are not part of the Housing Authority's affordable rental inventory but they are restricted through agreements with State and Federal agencies. In November 2013, the affordability restrictions associated with the Irvine Company Apartment Communities' Rancho Alisal, Rancho Maderas and Rancho Tierra expired, allowing one hundred seventy-seven (177) affordable rental units to convert to market rate. The plan to preserve affordability outlined in the Housing Strategy was not viable with the Dissolution of Redevelopment and the recapture by the State of the Housing Authority's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund Balance. Affected renters were referred to the County of Orange Affordable Housing Rental List as well as encouraged to place their names on interest lists for Amalfi and Anton Legacy Apartments. We continue to monitor the remaining 100 units which are at risk. 8. The former Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency purchased two (2) four- plexes with low and moderate income housing funds in 2000, then sold them to the City in 2010. The City and the Housing Authority, which had been managing the units since the Dissolution of Redevelopment, and the Orange County Rescue Mission (OCRM) developed a proposal for OCRM to purchase the four-plexes for the purpose of providing services to homeless veterans. On December 16, 2014, the City Council approved the proposal to convey the two (2) City -owned four-plexes to OCRM for homeless Veterans' housing. On February 10, 2015, the sale was executed. In June of 2016, OCRM completed the rehabilitation of the units and, on July 26, 2016, the first twenty-one (21) of twenty-six (26) homeless veterans moved in to their new home at the Tustin Veterans Outpost. As part of the annual monitoring, the Housing Authority requests an annual report from OCRM. The following is a summary of the activity occurring in FY 2016 - 2017: a. Twenty-six (26) veterans were served, three (3) of whom were disabled. Twenty (20) men and six (6) women, with four (4) spouses, and eight (8) children accompanied by a veteran. Five thousand two hundred eighty-four (5,284) bed nights were provided. b. As of June 30, 2017, there were twelve (12) veterans being served, nine (9) men and three (3) women, with three (3) spouses, and three (3) children were accompanied by a veteran. c. Fifteen thousand eight hundred fifty-two (15,852) meals were provided, resulting in one thousand eight hundred twenty-five (1,825) food purchase and preparation training units. d. Seven hundred twenty-six (726) individual counseling sessions, and fifty- two (52) group counseling sessions were provided during the program. Six hundred seventy-six (676) mental health counseling sessions were provided. Five thousand two hundred eighty-four (5,284) showers were provided. Twenty-one (21) veterans enrolled in healthcare (VA benefits/Medi-Cal). e. Thirteen (13) veterans obtained a trade school certificate (food handlers, forklift driver, etc.) during the program. Six (6) children attended school during the program. Three (3) veterans were employed and twenty-three (23) were unemployed before entering the program.

There were six hundred thirty-three (633) referrals provided for community resources. 9. On July 5, 2016, the City and the Housing Authority entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with Habitat for Humanity of Orange County ("Habitat"). The City will convey a City -owned, R3 -zoned lot to Habitat for the purpose of building two (2) affordable units to be sold to income -eligible Veterans. During FY 2016-2017, Habitat has been working with the Community Development Department on entitlements and plan approvals. The property will be conveyed to Habitat in the Fall of 2017 and construction will commence shortly thereafter. Construction of the 2 homes is projected to be complete within eighteen months.
