Executive Summary
AP -05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
.The federal Housing and Community Act of 1974, as amended, created the CDBG program to return
federal funds to local communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing
adequate housing and a suitable living environment and by expanding economic opportunities,
specifically for low- and moderate -income persons. Grants are awarded to communities to carry out a
wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic
development, and the provision of improved community facilities and services.
For participation in the CDBG program, the federal government requires that local jurisdictions prepare a
5 -year Consolidated Plan document and state within its plan, the jurisdiction's goals and priorities. The
City's current Consolidated Plan, adopted on April 21, 2015, covers Program Years 2015-2020. The City is
also required to submit an Annual Action Plan for each of the five years covered in the Consolidated Plan.
The Consolidated Plan serves the following functions:
1. A planning document for the City of Tustin;
2. An application for federal funds under HUD's formula grant programs;
3. An action plan that provides a strategy for carrying out goals and priorities (also serves as the
City's annual application); and,
4. A basis for assessing performance.
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 the entitlement
money. The purpose of the Action Plan is to detail how the City will spend its annual allocation of funds
to meet community needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. This Action 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. The review period began on March 8, 2018, and will
end on April 6, 2018. A summary of any comments received will be provided at the close of the comment
period. HUD mandates that the Action Plan must be submitted no later than 45 days prior to the start of
the Program Year, by May 17, 2018.

1. 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 most recently in June 2017. This
amendment, adopted in June 2017, established a one-year funding cycle for public service activities, as
opposed to a three-year funding cycle. Establishing a one-year funding cycle allows teh City Council to
more closely monitor CDBG allocations on an annual basis, and maintains the flexibility to make
adjustments to these allocations annually.
The Citizen Participation Plan indicates that its Citizen Participation Committee members should be active
community leaders who are aware of the needs of the community and are able to assist in obtaining
citizen input and make a recommendation to the City Council concerning public service project selection
and funding allocations for the CDBG program. The Citizen Participation Committee consists of the
following members;
• The Planning Commission Chairperson or his/her designee;
• The Community Services Commission Chairperson or his/her designee;
• The Senior Advisory Board Chairperson or his/her designee;
• The Audit Commission Chairperson or his/her designee; and,
• Three (3) at -large representatives appointed by the City Council.
The Citizen Participation Pian 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 public service
activities for the 2018-19 Program Year. In addition, the City also sent the NOFA to over
60 nonprofit organizations. The City received 12 applications requesting $268,700.

To develop the City's 2018.19 Action Plan, two public hearings are being conducted. The first public
hearing was held by the Citizen Participation Committee on February 22, 2018. The purpose of the first
hearing was to evaluate and review public service applications, and recommend funding to the City
Council.
A second public hearing was held on April 17, 2018 by the City Council. The purpose of the second hearing
is 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.
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 Senior Center.
The City also, as required by HUD, published a notice of the availability of a draft Action Plan, for public
review. The thirty (30) day public review and comment period began on March 8, 2018, and ends on April
6, 2018.
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. Additional housing -related efforts by the City of Tustin
include conveying two city -owned fourplexes to the Orange County Rescue Mission, these units were
remodeled, and they opened in 2016 as the Veteran's Outpost which now provides 26 homeless veterans
and their families with housing at the site. On October 4, 2017, the City of Tustin conveyed city -owned
land to Habitat for Humanity Orange County, for the construction of two affordable condominium units,
designated to provide affordable housing for veterans and their families. These units are currently under
construction, and are anticipated to be complete during the 2018-19 Action Plan cycle. The City of Tustin
and Housing Authority are currently negotiating with Jamboree Housing Corporation for the development
of affordable rental housing in Tustin Legacy. In its efforts to address the needs of homeless families, the
City is currently negotiating with Family Promise of Orange County for the development of a transitional
homeless shelter.
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 -stiff ciency and permanent housing.,
Annual Action Plan
2018
ome contW No. ZM4111 lae. OOWM4

An important element of meeting this objective is to fund projects that will meet the Department's goal
of ending chronic homelessness,
The Orange County Continuum of Care system consists of six basic components:
• Advocacy on behalf of those who are homeless or at -risk of becoming homeless.
• A system of outreach, assessment, and prevention for determining the needs and conditions of
an individual or family who is homeless.
• Emergency shelters with appropriate supportive services to help ensure that homeless individuals
and families receive adequate emergency shelter and referrals.
• Transitional housing to help homeless individuals and families who are not prepared to make the
transition to permanent housing and independent living.
• Permanent housing, or permanent supportive housing, to help meet the long term needs of
homeless Individuals and families.
• Reducing chronic homeless in Orange County & addressing the needs of homeless families &
individuals using motels to meet their housing needs.
As part of the City of Tustin's participation in the CoC program, and in partnership with 2-1-1 Orange
County, on January 27, 2017, a Point -In -Time Homelessness count was conducted in Tustin. The count
provided data which indicated that 78 percent of Tustin's homeless population lives in Transitional
Housing or Emergency Shelters, while 22 percent reside in places not meant for human habitation.
The data collected from the Point -In -Time Count will provide direction to the City of Tustin's overall efforts
to address homelessness within the City. These efforts include: the City's participation in the Association
of California Cities - Orange County's Homelessness Task Force; the United to End Homelessness coalition
through Orange County United Way; and, collaboration between the Tustin Police Department,
CityNet, Orange County Health Care Agency (PERT Mental Health Services), Orange County Rescue
Mission, and the Tustin -based nonprofit Operation Warm Wishes, to provide• resources and services to
the transient homeless in Tustin.
Homelessness efforts that are proposed to be funded by the Community Development Block Grant during
the 2018-19 Program Year include: funding for Family Promise of Orange County's Emergency Shelter and
Transitional Housing programs; Goodwill of Orange County's Emergency Funding Grants which are used
for veterans on the verge of experiencing homelessness; Human Options Third Step Transitional Housing
Program; Mercy House Emergency Shelter services, and, Veteran's legal Insitute Pro Bono Mobile Legal
Clinics which are designed to serve homeless or at -risk veterans,

introduction
There are several potential sources of funding that might enable the City of Tustin to address housing and community development priority needs
MW the specific: objectives identified in the Strategic Plan component of the City of Tustin's 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 Citys 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
housft. To ensure the financial feasibility of a project, the City will considerthe use of funds from othersources, such as General Fund monies, the
Chys Housing Authority set-aside funds, and land Contribution funds, to further affordable housing and community development goals whenever
a snatch, grant, or loan is necessary or appropriate. Within Section SP -45 (Goals Summary) of the Consolidated Plan, the City's estimates for CDBG

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
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. The City will continue to allocate its CDBG funding to projects with the CDBG
Low/Moderate Census Tract Target Area, or to directly benefit low/moderate income residents.
To meet the underserved needs of the community, the City will: make efforts to coordinate with federal,
State, and local agencies to provide appropriate assistance to residents, coordinate with public service
providers to promote adequate services to residents; and, work to provide physical improvements to slum
and blighted areas and neighborhoods with concentrations on the CDBG Low/Moderate Census Tract
Target Area.

The City of Tustin does not contain a "Target Area" as defined by HUD; however, the City has identified
the census tracts/block groups which contain 51% or higher low/mod income residents. 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 ensure that they serve a
majority of Low/Mod income residents, and Public Facilities projects must fall within the CDBG Low/Mod

it may be in need of rehabilitation.
• Needs within this area include affordable housing, child care, improved access to public facilities

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 2018-19 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

The City of Tustin has set one-year Action Plan goals with regard to the provision of affordable housing in
the following areas: preservation of at -risk affordable housing rental units (280 units to be preserved);
first-time homebuyer/workforce housing (providing five units); new housing construction (two units);

Please see AP -20 for further details on each of these housing goals. In addition, data below provides the
number of homeless, special -needs, and other families assisted with affordable housing. One-year goals
are also listed regarding rental assistance and production of new units. Due to the dissolution of the
State's Redevelopment Agencies, the City is not providing rehabilitation of existing units or acquisition of
existing units at this time, but is hopeful that these efforts will continue once funding becomes available.

Introduction
As part of the City of Tustin's participation in Orange County's Continuum of Care program, and in
partnership with 2-1-1 Orange County, on January 27, 2017, a Point -in -Time Homelessness count was
conducted in Tustin. The count provided data which indicated that 78 percent of Tustin's homeless
population lives in Transitional Housing or Emergency Shelters, while 22 percent reside in places not
meant for human habitation.
The data collected from the Point -In -Time Count will provide direction to the City of Tustin's overall efforts
to address homelessness within the City. These efforts include: the City's participation in the Association
of California Cities - Orange County's Homelessness Task Force; the United to End Homelessness coalition
through Orange County United Way, and, collaboration between the Tustin Police Department,
CityNet, Orange County Health Care Agency (PERT Mental Health Services), Orange County Rescue
Mission, and the Tustin -based nonprofit Operation Warm Wishes, to provide resources and services to
the transient homeless in Tustin.
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 services include

based nonprofit Operation Warm Wishes, to provide resources and services to the transient homeless in
Tustin.
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 Accommodation
Plan, established for the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan area, as one of the strategies to address
homelessness. The Homeless Accommodation Plan provides assistance for supportive housing and
supportive services to help homeless persons and families transition from homelessness to Irving as
Independently as possible. The plan includes 387 beds 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. The Village of Hope has also increased their transitional
housing capacity to 387 beds, an increase of 195 beds. This emergency and transitional housing facility is
currently in operation.
With respect to both emergency shelter and transitional housing needs addressed during PY 2018-19, the
City will allocate CDBG funds to: Family Promise of Orange County's Emergency Shelter and Transitional
Housing programs; and, Human Options Third Step Transitional Housing Program; Mercy House
Emergency shelter services.
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 Ilving: The Orange County Housing Authority will continue to assist

homeless persons on the Section 8 waiting list..CDBG funding will specifically be allocated to Goodwill of
Orange County to provide emergency funding grants to veterans and their families on the verge of
homelessness. The program administered by Goodwill of Orange County has the potential to keep
veterans and their families housed, where they would otherwise become homeless without the assistance
provided by the program. An additional homeless/at-risk homeless veterans' service will be provided
through Veterans Legal Institute, in which pro bono legal services will be provided to assist these
veterans. Further efforts to help the homeless also are provided by local nonprofits and churches.
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 of Care process and
the Association of California Cities — Orange County's Homelessness Task Force. 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),Justin-renter households have access to___--
OCHA's Family Self -Sufficiency Program. Preference for this program is given to families with children ( 1
who are homeless or who are in danger of becoming ome ess (those pay ng over SO 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, veterans services, family and infant care, and youth services through the Tustin Family and
Youth Center, Boys and Girls Clubs of Tustin, and YMCA of Orange County.
Discussion
Through the 2018-19 Program Year, the City of Tustin will continue to support its Consolidated Plan
priority needs and performance goals regarding a strategy for homelessness through planned activities
such as the Homeless Housing Partnership Program, Section 8 Rental Assistance, and providing
administrative support for affordable housing activities.

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.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
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 during the 2018-19 funding year.
•
Accessory dwelling units
•
Deed restrictions
•
Fees, extractions, and permit procedures
•
Environmental constraints
•
Pre -application conferences
•
Permit processing and coordination
•
Section 8 Rental Assistance
•
Housing referral program
•

Discussion:
Tustin's Consolidated Plan Section MA -40 further discusses the barriers to affordable housing and
elaborates on constraints such as zoning, housing development fees, the development review process,
Infrastructure constraints, Davis -Bacon Wage Compliance, floodplain insurance, and other existing needs.
