MEETING DATE: APRIL 21, 2020
TO: MATTHEW S. WEST, CITY MANAGER
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) CONSOLIDATED
PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2020-2025, ONE YEAR ACTION PLAN FOR
PROGRAM YEAR 2020-21, AND 2019-20 ACTION PLAN AMENDMENT
SUMMARY:
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, established the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to return federal funds to local
communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing
decent housing, suitable living environments, and by expanding economic opportunities,
specifically for low and moderate income persons. 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. 20-18 fulfill these requirements.
On February 26, 2020, the Citizen Participation Committee held the first required public
hearing to receive public input and testimony, considered and provided staff with direction
on the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan Goals and Priority Needs; and, considered and
provided a recommendation to the City Council on allocations for public service funding
requests for the Program Year 2020-21 Action Plan.
On April 2, 2020, the City of Tustin received a special allocation to its Community
Development Block grant funds (hereafter referred to as CDBG-CV) to be used to
prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus (COVID-19). This allocation was
authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act,
enacted on March 27, 2020. An amendment to the 2019-20 Action Plan is being
proposed, which would allocate CDBG-CV funds to new activity(ies).
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 20-18:

1. Approving the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan including the proposed use of
Program Year 2020-21 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for
inclusion in the one-year Action Plan;
2. 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; and,
3. Amending the 2019-20 Action Plan by allocating CDBG-CV funding to applicable
activities in response to the coronavirus.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan, 2020-21 Action Plan, and 2019-20 Action
Plan amendment programs and expenditures will be implemented with CDBG funds.
The City has received notification from HUD that its CDBG allocation for Program Year
2020-21 will be $848,019, and that its CDBG-CV allocation will be $498,862. 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 City
of Tustin's current 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 2020-
2025 Consolidated Plan.
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 follows:
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 2020-21 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 over 80 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, 2020.
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.

According to HUD, the City will receive $848,019 of CDBG funds for Fiscal Year 2020-
21. 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;
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 $848,019 = $127,200)
of the total grant award may be allocated to Public Services types of activities. A
maximum of 20 percent (20% x $848,019 = $169,600) of the total grant award may be
expended on Program Administration activities.
Public Service Activities Multiyear Funding
On April 16, 2019, the City Council amended the City's Citizen Participation Plan by
designating a three-year funding cycle for public service activities, as opposed to one-year
funding.
On November 14, 2019, the City published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for
public service programs/projects for the three-year funding cycle including program years

applications to various private organizations and transmitted applications to all City of
Tustin departments. Twelve (12) completed Public Service applications from non-profit
organizations and City departments were returned with funding requests totaling $550,302

On February 26, 2020, the City's Citizen Participation Committee held a public hearing,
considered funding requests for public service programs, and recommended funding
allocations based on a multiyear funding cycle. The City Council is asked to review the
Citizen Participation Committee funding recommendations for public service programs.
Following the year-one allocation for PY 2020-21, the approved public service programs
would continue to receive year-two for Program Year 2021-22, and year-three for Program
Year 2022-23, funding if they meet the following criteria:
a. Activities must continue to meet the priority and objective for which the
activities are funded in year-one;

Citizen Participation Process
Federal laws relating to CDBG funds require cities to provide citizens with specific
information about the amount of monies expected for the program and the range of
activities that may be undertaken with those funds. 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.
On February 26, 2020, the Citizen Participation Committee held the first required public
hearing to receive public input and testimony, considered and provided staff with direction
on the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan Goals and Priority Needs; considered and provided a

Anti-Poverty Strategy
The City has identified several goals, policies and programs designed to provide adequate, safe and
affordable housing for all segments of the population. Some of these goals will ensure that housing is
affordable to all segments of the City's population. Accordingly, the City will provide for new affordable
housing opportunities; work to preserve affordable housing units in the City; promote the availability of
affordable housing for large, low- income families; promote, assist, and facilitate the development of
emergency and transitional housing; and, promote equal opportunity housing programs.

moderate-income levels. CDBG funds will be targeted to address the City's non-housing community
development needs such as services to youth and seniors.
Coordination of Strategic Plan
The City of Tustin will strive to enhance coordination between the City and public and assisted housing
providers and private and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies by developing
productive working relationships with such agencies by soliciting input through the public participation
process.

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 in January of 2003. Most recently, in
2016 and 2019, respectively, the Citizen Participation Plan was amended designating a Citizen
Participation Committee to preside over the selection of public services to be funded with CDBG Funds.
The Citizen Participation Committee is comprised of the Chairperson or his/her designee from the
Planning Commission, Community Services Commission, Senior Advisory Board, Audit Commission, and
three at-large Tustin residents designated by the City Council. The Citizen Participation Plan was also
modified with regard to the funding cycle for public service activities, reverting back to a three-year
funding cycle as opposed to annual funding.
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:
• To encourage citizens, particularly residents of low- and moderate-income living in areas eligible
for the use of program funds, including minorities, non-English speaking persons, and persons
with mobility, visual, or hearing impairments, to participate in the development of the
Consolidated Plan/Action Plan.
• To assure that citizens are furnished with appropriate information about the Consolidated Plan
and its various component programs.
• The City started the Citizen Participation process by publishing a Notice of Funding Availability
(NOFA) in the local newspaper seeking Request for Funding Applications for the 2020-21, 2021-
22 and 2022-23 CDBG Program Years. In addition,the City also sent the NOFAto over 80 nonprofit
organizations. The City received 12 applications requesting three-year funding allocations as
follows: FY 2020-21$180,434; FY 2021-22$186,434; FY 2022-23 $127,500.
The 2020-21 Action Plan covers programs and projects to be undertaken during the respective year. To
develop the City's 2020-21 Action Plan, two public hearings were conducted. The first public hearing was
held by the Citizen Participation Committee on February 26, 2020. The purpose of the first hearing was
for the Committee to review the 12 public service applications received, and make a recommendation to
the City Council on funding allocations, along with reviewing and providing input on the Draft
Consolidated Plan including the updated Goals and Priorities of the Plan. Public comments/input from the
Citizen Participation Committee included input on the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan Draft Goals and
Priority needs. Their comments generally included support for the draft goals and priorities; however,
they requested the delineation of high, and low priority needs.

A second public hearing was held on April 21, 2020 by the City Council.The purpose of the second hearing
was for the City Council to review the 2020-2025 Draft Consolidated Plan and 2020-21 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 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
27, 2020, and ended on March 27, 2020. 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 supports many other affordable and
homeless housing efforts, including but not limited to the recent opening of a 57-bed low-barrier
emergency shelter for men, women, and families with children. There are additional wrap-around and
other supportive services administered at the site, and it should be noted that the facility has room for
expansion, should the need arise.
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.
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 22, 2019, a Point-In-Time Homelessness count was conducted in Tustin. The count
provided data which indicated that 73 percent of Tustin's homeless population lives in Transitional
Housing or Emergency Shelters, while 26 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.
It should additionally be noted,that in March 2019,the City of Tustin opened a new low-barrier temporary
homeless shelter with 57 emergency shelter beds for men,women,and families with children.This facility
will be operated by Temporary Shelter, Inc., and will include a variety of wrap-around and other
supportive services to be administered at the site. This site is being established to ensure that
unsheltered homeless individuals with ties to Tustin have the opportunity to be provided with a bed and
shelter. The site also has potential to expand in the future, should the need arise.
In addition to the City's participation in the County of Orange Continuum of Care, during the 2020-2025
Consolidated Plan cycle, the City of Tustin will continue to provide CDBG funding to homeless service
providers who provide emergency and transitional shelter resources, along with additional support
services for homeless and at-risk homeless individuals.
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.

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 1,2020,and concluding on June 30, 2025.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 current 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.

NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
According to 2018 American Community Survey data, the City of Tustin has approximately 80,000
residents which is comprised of approximately 27,000 households. The online reporting system for the
Consolidated Plan has generated the tables below, consisting of ACS and CHAS data. Utilizing this data, of
these families, approximately 47%are of extremely-low, low, or moderate income and in need of housing
assistance. Data also demonstrates that more 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.

Data on "single person" households is unavailable.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or
victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Physical and developmental disabilities can hinder access to housing units of traditional design and
potentially limit the ability to earn adequate income. According to 2014-2018 ACS data, a total of 4,419
persons in Tustin between 18 and 65 years of age reported a disability. Special housing needs of disabled
individuals includes wheelchair accessibility, railings, and special construction for interior living spaces.

Data specific to the City of Tustin is unavailable; however,according to the 2019 Orange County Homeless
Census and Survey, the County has approximately 356 individuals who are homeless and have been the
victims of domestic violence, 1,145 indicated they have a physical disability, and 510 indicated they have
a developmental disability, and would thus require housing assistance.
What are the most common housing problems?
Housing problems affecting Tustin residents have been identified in Tables 3 and 4 which utilize data
obtained from the 2011-2015 CHAS. Housing problems identified in Table 4 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 4 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 3 is as follows:The entire renter population is equally affected by substandard housing
lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, and they are more affected by this problem in general
than homeowners;The extremely low income (30%- 50%AMI) population of renters and the low income
(50%-80%AMI) population of owners are also most impacted by severe overcrowding with >1.51 people
per room (and complete kitchen and plumbing facilities); Both low income renters and owners are more
affected by overcrowding with 1.01-1.5 people per room (and none of the before-mentioned
problems); Both extremely low income renters and owners experience the greatest housing cost burden
greater than 50%of income (and none of the before-mentioned problems); Both low income renters and
owners have the greatest housing cost burden greater than 30% of income (and none of the before-
mentioned problems); and, extremely income renters and owners are most affected by zero/negative
income (and none of the before-mentioned problems).
An analysis of Table 4 is as follows: Extremely low-income renters and owners are the populations 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. Low income renters and owners are also most

likely to have none of the four housing problems. Extremely 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 2 which contains data from the 2011-2015 CHAS,a slight majority of the City of Tustin's
families with children are low income, followed closely by families with children who live above the
median family income level; however, very low income and extremely low-income families with children
make up the third and fourth largest populations respectively. While the majority of 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
transitional housing data available specifically for Tustin; however, the 2019 Point in Time
(PIT) Count indicates that there are currently 2,899 persons (42%of the homeless population)throughout
Orange County in transitional housing.The PIT count also indicates that 264 persons(73%of the homeless
population) are sheltered either through transitional housing, rapid re-housing, or other
such housing. Within the City of Tustin, the Orange County Rescue Mission- Village of Hope provides
transitional housing services. Families nearing the termination of their assistance at the Village of Hope,
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 referral 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:
The City of Tustin does not maintain numeric data on the number of at-risk individuals residing within the
City; however, it is recognized that there are many factors which could define the at-risk
population. These factors include but are not limited to: housing instability due to economic hardship or
domestic violence, and being a female-headed household. The City of Tustin strives to provide assistance
to the at-risk population through existing city-services, along with providing CDBG funding to public
service agencies who support these individuals.

Discussion
The City of Tustin recognizes the housing needs of extremely low,very low, and low-income families who
reside in the city. Various goals and priorities are set within this five-year Consolidated Plan to address
these needs. Goals within this cycle to address housing needs include: homeless needs and supportive
services and housing assistance. In addition, families who need additional supportive services will be
addressed through public services goals such as: youth programs; senior programs; and other public
services such as health-care services,veterans services, and homeless prevention.

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. Tables 9 through 12 provide data on the needs of racial
or ethnic groups across extremely low, very low, low and moderate/market-rate income groups. A

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 13 through 16 provide data on the needs of racial or ethnic groups across extremely low,
very low, low, and moderate-high income groups.A detailed analysis of each table will be provided in the

Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to
the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction:
The Consolidated Plan further discusses the concept of disproportionately greater need in this Section
with regard to Housing Cost Burden.Table 17 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 17) 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 17 with regard to the racial or ethnic groups displaying a disproportionately greater need.

Discussion:
This discussion provides an analysis of Table 17.Within the City of Tustin, it can be seen that a majority of
the population does not have a housing cost burden with 54 percent of the population paying less than
30 percent of their income on housing-related costs. Cost-burdened households paying between 30—50
percent of their income on housing-related costs equate to 25 percent of the population overall.Of those
families considered to be cost-burdened, the American Indian/Alaska Native group has a
disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or more) at 60 percent, and the Pacific Islander
group at 52 percent, within the cost-burdened group as a whole.Table 17 further displays that 20 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 group with
a disproportionately greater need (10 percentage points or more) is the Black/African American group
who comprises 37 percent of the group.

Housing Cost Burden
Within the City of Tustin, it can be seen that a majority of the population does not have a housing cost
burden with 54 percent of the population paying less than 30 percent of their income on housing-related
costs. Cost-burdened households paying between 30 — 50 percent of their income on housing-related
costs equate to 25 percent of the population overall. Of those families considered to be cost-burdened,
the American Indian/Alaska Native group has a disproportionately greater need at 60 percent, and the
Pacific Islander group at 52 percent, within the cost-burdened group as a whole.Table 17 further displays
that 20 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 group with
a disproportionately greater need is the Black/African American group who comprises 37 percent of the
group.

Table 27 provides data gathered from the Orange County Point in Time Count for 2019.It can be seen from the data that the highest number of
unsheltered homeless are adult individuals with 71 unsheltered,and the highest number of sheltered individuals are families,with 183 provided
shelter.There is no data specific to the City of Tustin for unaccompanied youth;however,transitional-aged youth include one(1)unsheltered and
thirteen sheltered individuals.The table also does not include data surrounding the homeless senior population in Tustin, of which there are
thirteen unsheltered and one(1)sheltered individual.The table does include data specific to homeless veterans within the City of Tustin,of which
five(5)were unsheltered,and 16 were sheltered.
Regarding a discussion on chronic homelessness,the Point in Time count does not enumerate how many chronically homeless individuals reside
within each Service Planning Area or City; however Countywide, the report indicates that 52 percent of the unsheltered adult homeless are
considered to be chronically homeless,and 25 percent of sheltered adult homeless are considered to be chronically homeless.

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.
It should additionally be noted,that during the 2020 - 2025 Consolidated Plan Cycle the City of Tustin will
continue to operate the newly-opened low-barrier temporary homeless shelter with 57 emergency
shelter beds for men, women, and families with children. This facility is operated by Temporary Shelter,
Inc., and includes a variety of wrap-around and other supportive services to be administered at the site.
This site is being established to ensure that unsheltered homeless individuals with ties to Tustin have the
opportunity to be provided with a bed and shelter. The site also has potential to expand in the future,
should the need arise.
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 living as
independently as possible. The plan includes 262 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, Human Options and, Temporary
Shelter, Inc.
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.

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 accommodations 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 2018 Census Data, 9.9%of the City of Tustin's population is 65 years
or older, and thus may require specific accommodations or assistance to meet their housing needs.
Physical and developmental disabilities can hinder access to housing units of traditional design and
potentially limit the ability to earn adequate income. According to 2018 Census Data, 5.2% of Tustin
residents between 18 and 65 years of age reported a disability. Data provided within Tustin's current
Housing Element indicates that approximately 2% of Tustin residents over the age of 65 reported a
disability. The US Census Bureau does not record data on individuals with developmental disabilities.
Female-headed households tend to have lower incomes and special needs, thus limiting housing
availability for this group. According to Tustin's current Housing Element, 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 Tustin's current Housing Element, 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 mobilitythe elderly also typically need access
to public facilities (for example, medical and shopping requirements) and public transit services.
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

DocuSign Envelope ID:76B50E78-1654-425D-978D-4007BC3F3ADA
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 significant population of residents with HIV/AIDS; however,the Orange
County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) would maintain jurisdiction over providing assistance to individuals
residing in Tustin who may have HIV/AIDS. The OCHCA has released its 2017 - 2021 Integrated HIV
Prevention and Care Plan, which provides an overview of the current landscape of HIV services in the
county and identifies goals and strategies in moving forward to address the epidemic.The Integrated Plan
addresses the HIV Care Continuum including those that are at high-risk for HIV and mirrors the goals
outlined in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for 2020. The goals of the plan are to: 1) reduce new HIV
infections; 2) increase access to care and improve health outcomes for people living with HIV; and 3)
reduce HIV-related disparities and health inequities. Data from this report indicates that during the year
2015, there were 300 new cases diagnosed throughout the County as a whole.
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
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.

NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs — 91.215 (f)
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities:
The City of Tustin's priority needs related to public facilities includes:
New Parks& Park Improvements
Construction of new park facilities and improvements to existing parks as a benefit to all Tustin residents
Citywide are proposed for the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan cycle.Tustin parks are heavily used by youth
for sports and other recreational uses. It is a priority to ensure existing facilities are safe and well-
maintained. It is also a priority to add new parks facilities to meet the growing need due to development
of residential communities within the Tustin Legacy Area. Note that CDBG-funding would only be used for
facilities/improvements with the CDBG Low/Moderate Income Census Tract Target Area.
General Public Facilities Needs
Includes general public facilities improvement needs throughout Tustin including but not limited to street
repairs, sidewalk repairs, storm drain improvements, public facility improvements, lighting
improvements, etc. As with parks improvements, CDBG-funding would only be used for public facilities
improvements within the CDBG Low/Moderate Income Census Tract Target Area.
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.
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 part of the general Public Facilities Needs 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 public facilities priority with relation to the
build-out of the Tustin Legacy area as it continues throughout the 2020 - 2025 planning cycle.

DocuSign Envelope ID:76B50E78-1654-425D-978D-4007BC3F3ADA
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. In addition, other needs have arisen as build-out of the Tustin Legacy area
occurs, and infrastructure needs to be installed.
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:
The City of Tustin places a high priority on many public services needs. Priorities which have been set,
which address public services include:
Youth Services
This priority involves providing Tustin youth with services such as after-school programs and healthcare
services. The City intents to allocate CDBG funding to assist Low/Moderate Income Tustin families to
receive such services.
Senior Services
Includes senior services and programming provided through the City's full-service Senior Center located
in Old Town Tustin, and provision of additional healthcare services or other resources to promote the
wellness of Tustin's senior population. Additional services funded by CDBG as a public service activity
include a lunch cafe program provided at the Senior Center as well as home-delivered meals provided to
homebound Tustin seniors.
Anti-Crime Programs
Anti-crime programs includes crime awareness/education, and other anti-crime programs, workshops,
trainings, and events for residents within the community. Although crime awareness is a high priority
citywide, the CDBG Low/Moderate Income Census Tract Target Area is a specific area of focus for crime
prevention activities given the increasing population density, and increasing need for police services. The
population is a potential target for crime which could be prevented through the implementation of crime
awareness programs.

residents, and the homeless population. These services may include after-school programming,
congregate or home-delivered meals, emergency and transitional housing, and low-cost healthcare
services. A core provision of the CDBG program is to provide public services to the Tustin community.
Improving access to these services is a high priority for the City of 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.

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 28,145 residential units according to 2019 California Department of
Finance data. Of the available units, 26,761 are occupied. Current real estate data indicates that the
median home price within the City is $727,922. Following county and state-wide trends, prices of homes
within Tustin have increased are projected to continue to increase.According to Tustin's current Housing
Element, 56% of Tustin's housing stock is 30 years old or older; however, the overall housing stock is
generally in good condition.
Within Tustin's housing stock,there are 308 units available to serve the special needs community, such as
the elderly and the frail elderly. Resources to serve the homeless within Tustin include the Tustin
Emergency Shelter, 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. Throughout the
aforementioned homeless service providers there are upwards of 575 units of emergency and/or
transitional housing available.
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.
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.

the largest proportion of jobs in the City of Tustin were in professional, scientific, and management
services (15%), the arts, entertainment, and accommodations (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 Tustin
demonstrating the greatest need, and containing the highest population of extremely-low, very-low,
and low income residents. The City focuses on spending CDBG funding to directly benefit this population,
and this region.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with
federal, state, and local programs.
The City of Tustin serves extremely low, very low, and low income single individuals and families with
housing assistance. According to City of Tustin AB 987 data, 124 families are currently assisted by low
income housing funds. In addition, there are 305 units which count toward inclusionary or replacement
housing requirements.The City of Tustin currently has 1,100 rental units available to the very-low and low
income populations which includes 225 affordable rental units constructed by St. Anton Partners. In
addition, 5,715 units are available to moderate income residents.
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for
any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
Units which have the potential of being lostfrom the affordable housing inventory are 99 units from Tustin
Gardens.These units are on a Section 8 project-based contract with HUD,which is implemented on a year-
by-year basis. Currently,these units are still under contract.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population?
A comparison of Tables 1 and 2 within the Housing Market Analysis demonstrates that the availability of
housing units adequately meets the needs of the population as there are 26,410 available residential units
and 25,345 owners and renters occupying these units. There is currently a surplus of 1,065 units within
the housing stock.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
Within the City of Tustin the need exists to continue to provide adequate affordable housing to special
needs groups such as the elderly, disabled, those with developmental disabilities, female-headed
households, large families, and the homeless, and to provide housing assistance to veterans.

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. Although the
median home value decreased between the 2005-2009 and the 2011-2015 data sets displayed in Table
3, the median home price in Orange County has since increased to $727,922. The California Association
of Realtors further states that the median home price throughout California and Orange County is
anticipated to continue to increase.According to data provided by HUD, Fair Market Rent Rates for Fiscal
Year 2020 are: $1,563 for efficiency units; $1,785 for 1-bedroom; $2,216 for 2-bedrooms; $3,098 for 3-
bedrooms; and, $3,578 for 4-bedroom units. 2018 Census data states that the median rent rate was
$1,765; however, Table 4 indicates that the majority of Tustin renters pay between $1,000 - $1,499 in
rent. Regarding affordability, CHAS data for 2011 - 2015 indicates there are 455 rental units available to
residents with extremely low income; 990 rental and 525 owner units available to very low-income
residents; 6,245 rental and 1,250 owner units available to moderate income residents; and, 2,075 owner
units available to those above moderate income. Within the CHAS data are 225 very low/low/moderate
income rental units available in an apartment community by St.Anton Partners,and 37 moderate income
rental units constructed by The Irvine Company.
Tustin's housing inventory includes the number and types of housing units is as follows: 8,905 of the units
are 1-unit detached structures comprising the largest percentage or 34% of Tustin's total housing stock;
3,590 of the units are 1-unit attached structures comprising 14%of the housing stock; 2-4 unit structures
comprise 3,795 of housing units or 14%; 5-19 unit structures comprise 5,130 units or 16% of the total
housing stock; 20 or more units comprise 4,125 units or 16% of the housing stock; and, mobile home,
boat, RV, van units, etc., comprise the smallest portion of the units at 875 or 3%of Tustin's total housing
stock.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels?
The majority of the rental housing stock is available to those with low income levels, according to 2011-
2015 CHAS data within Table 5. A majority of the units available to the extremely-low (0%-30% HAMFI*),
very-low(30%-50%HAMFI),and low (50%-80%HAMFI) income populations are also rental units. Itfollows
that there are fewer units available to this population for ownership,with a majority of ownership housing
available to the population at the 80%-100% HAMFI income level. The very-low and low-income
populations are relatively similar in size and have fewer units available to them. There was no data
reported on the number of units available for purchase to the extremely-low income population.

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/affordability 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.
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; however, the median rent rate is below the fair market
rent rate for all unit types. The City of Tustin will always strive to preserve the current stock of affordable
housing options available to its residents.
Discussion
The City's current 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.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing— 91.210(a)
Introduction
According to 2011-2015 ACS data, Table 7 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 58%, while owner-occupied homes with one of the selected
conditions comprises 40%. 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, 36% have none of the abovementioned conditions while 54% 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 minimal units (less than 1%) with three, and zero units with four of
the 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, rehabilitation 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 Rehabilitation: Units with conditions that are found to be
substandard are where the value of the units constitute 25%of the after-rehabilitation value of the units,
inclusive of the land value.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
According to 2011-2015 CHAS data within Table 8, 48% of owner-occupied and 54% of renter-occupied
units were built between 1950-1979, and 35%of owner-occupied and 38%of renter-occupied units were
built between 1980-1999. 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 30 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
moderate 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 9
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 approximately 54%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 largest number of emergency shelter beds within Tustin are provided by the Tustin Emergency Shelter
with 57 emergency shelter beds for men, women, and families with children. This facility is operated by
Temporary Shelter, Inc.,and includes a variety of wrap-around and other supportive services administered
at the site. This site has been established to ensure that unsheltered homeless individuals with ties to
Tustin have the opportunity to be provided with a bed and shelter. The site also has potential to expand
in the future, should the need arise.
The largest number of transitional housing beds within Tustin are provided by the Orange County Rescue
Mission Village of Hope, which currently provides 262 beds.The Village of Hope has additionally provided
26 beds of transitional housing specifically for veterans through partnership with the City of Tustin.
Laurel House provides temporary housing for teenagers in crisis (homeless and runaway youth) for up to

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 325 senior housing units (many of them at an affordable rate) and 24
assisted living facilities. The affordable senior housing units include 99 units restricted to seniors at Tustin
Gardens, a 20-unit apartment project limited solely to seniors with limited income at Tustin Terrace, a 53-
unit apartment project at Heritage Place;and 153 units available at the very- low(36 units), low(61 units),
and moderate-income rate (56 units) at Coventry Court.
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,seniorcenters, meal sites and shopping
are also continued concerns for seniors. Many seniors lack private transportation due to physical or
financial limitations.

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 2011-2015 CHAS reports that 3,380 households in the City of Tustin with five or more persons,
which constitute approximately 12%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.

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)

Persons Diagnosed with AIDS and Related Diseases:
The City of Tustin does not maintain an inventory of facilities providing supportive housing for persons
with AIDS and related diseases; however, resources and care for Tustin residents who may be diagnosed
with HIV/AIDS is provided through the Orange County Health Care Agency

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. During each year of the five-year Consolidated Plan cycle,
the City anticipates providing services to 2,000 seniors at the Tustin Senior Center.
The City typically allocates CDBG funds to Meals on Wheels Orange County, to provide meal services to
the elderly dining at the Tustin Area Senior Center, and frail elderly (home-bound elderly). During an
individual program year, Meals on Wheels OC estimates that they will serve 145 congregate and/or home
delivered meals to Tustin residents.
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.

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

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.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within
your jurisdiction?
Based on the Business Activity Table above(Table 14)which utilizes 2011-2015 ACS and 2015 Longitudinal
Employer-Household Dynamics data, the largest proportion of jobs in the City of Tustin are: retail
trade (17%); professional,scientific, and management services (14%);followed by finance, insurance,and
real estate (12%); and, arts, entertainment, and accommodations (12%).
Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
Tustin's current 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.
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. Recent
development of the Flight at Tustin Legacy corporate campus has provided an increased opportunity for
employers and jobs within the City of Tustin. Currently under construction, Schools First Federal Credit
Union will be moving its corporate office to Tustin bringing further job opportunities to the City.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment
opportunities in the jurisdiction?
According to Table 14 which contains 2011-2015 ACS data, there are 30,997 workers in the workforce
with 37,319 jobs available within the City of Tustin. This indicates there is a surplus of jobs to workers
available. Controversially, 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; construction; and, education and health care services. The greatest disparity
between workers and jobs is within education and healthcare services as there is a surplus of 383 workers
to jobs. Controversially, the following employment sectors have more jobs available than workers to fill
those jobs: arts, entertainment, and accommodations; finance, insurance, and real estate; information;
manufacturing; professional,scientific,and management services; retail trade;wholesale trade;and other
services.The greatest disparity between jobs to workers is within retail trade as there is a surplus of 2,612
jobs to workers.

partnering with the Chamber of Commerce to host workshops for local businesses.
Discussion
Accordingto the Orange County Business Journal's 2019-20 Workforce Housing Scorecard report indicates
that between 2016-2045 Orange County as a whole will generate 270,286 new jobs, construct 124,319
new housing units at a ratio of 2.17 projected new jobs for each one (1) new housing unit constructed.
The report further indicates that the County's residential and real estate market as well as the overall
economy have continued to grow at a healthy rate in recent years, surpassing pre-recession highs in both
home values and employment levels. According to the same report, the City of Tustin ranks fourth
throughout the County in projected job growth during this time-frame,overall,anticipating adding 21,545

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. The white and light blue areas of this map indicate a higher minority concentration,
as opposed to the darker colors on the map.
"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.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate-Income
Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)
Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and
moderate-income households and neighborhoods.
Internet is an essential communications and information platform that allows users to take advantage of
the increased interconnectedness of business, education, commerce, and day to day utility. Reliable
access to the internet is becoming a necessity to thrive in the modern economic environment.
Communities that lack broadband access struggle to keep pace with the country. Locations without
broadband access impedes its population's ability to take advantage of the educational and
entrepreneurial opportunities available online. This is particularly problematic for LMI areas where
economic opportunities are already often lacking.Studies suggest a strong correlation between increased
high-speed internet access and increased education and employment opportunities, especially in small
cities and rural areas.
The City of Tustin does not have significant gaps in broadband coverage. AT&T is the top service provider
to the Tustin area covering approximately 91% of the city. Census data from 2014-2018 indicates that
89.8%of Tustin residents have a broadband internet subscription, which would include residents within
the City of Tustin's Low/Moderate Income Census Tract Target Area.
Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet
service provider serve the jurisdiction.
Once broadband access has been obtained, it is important to ensure there is competition among service
providers.Any single provider that has a monopoly on an area may not be incentivized to provide standard
and consistent services.The City of Tustin has a healthy balance of competition between internet service
providers. The following are the top internet service providers serving the City of Tustin: AT&T offering
DSL services covering 91% of the area; EarthLink offering DSL services also covering 91% of the area;
Spectrum offering cable services covering 71% of the area; and, Cox offering cable services covering 34%
of the area.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction's increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.
The City of Tustin's 2019 Hazard Mitigation Plan includes an analysis of hazards such as earthquakes,
extreme heat, wildfires, drought, windstorm, dam/reservoir failure, mass transit accident, power failure,
terrorism, pandemic, hazardous materials release, and flood; however, does not address climate change.
The most recent Hazard Mitigation Plan published by the County of Orange was published in the year
2015 and does reflect that many of the effects of climate change will serve to worsen the severity and
frequency of other hazards (wildfire, flood/storm, tsunami (through sea level rise)), the hazard analysis
process will increase in complexity. The Hazard Mitigation Planning Task Force discussed this issue and
decided the current hazard analysis did reflect the impact of climate change on other hazards, but will
revisit the issue in 2020. In addition, other specific climate change hazards such as sea level rise may be
added during future hazard analysis update cycles.
The hazard mitigation plan describes the impact on climate changes to Orange County in the following
areas: on water supply and demand; concern for sea level rise; water quality impacts;flooding; property;
infrastructure; services; and ecosystem and habitat vulnerability. Since the County of Orange's plan
addresses climate change, data from this plan will be referenced throughout this section of the report.
Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income
households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.
As stated within the County of Orange's 2015 Hazard Mitigation Plan, climate change has the possibility
of producing impacts that span many sectors of the economy and reaches well beyond the area of
experiencing physical sea level rise or long term temperature rise.The impacts would be complex and can
be direct or indirect. A few examples of direct impacts are productivity from agriculture could decrease;
fire hazard could increase; drinking water levels could decrease; wildlife mortality rates and damage to
wildlife and fish habitat could increase.The consequences of these impacts may result in reduced income
for businesses, increased prices for food and resources, unemployment, reduced tax revenues due to
reduced expenditures, increased crime,foreclosures on bank loans to businesses,and migration.The web
of impacts would be complex making it challenging to come up with financial estimates of damages.The
impacts of climate change can be categorized as economic, environmental, or social.
Social impacts involve public safety, health, reduced quality of life, and inequities in the distribution of
impacts and disaster relief. Many of the impacts specified as economic and environmental have social
components as well. We could see migration out of the coastal areas where increasing pressure on the
social infrastructure could result.

listed as a priority need are of importance to the City of Tustin; however,those which have been indicated
as a low priority, are listed as such because they are a low priority to be funded specifically with CDBG
funding. These low priority needs may still be carried out during the five-year Consolidated Plan cycle,
using general fund monies.

homeless needs and supportive services; new parks and park improvements; southwest park site
acquisition; historic preservation; public facility needs; Old Town Parklets; Main Street improvements;
public service needs; anti-crime programs; graffiti abatement; economic development; marketing
Cornerstone; Code Enforcement; planning; and housing assistance.
Based on the priority needs listed above, the City also has specific five-year goals which are to be met.
The goals include strategies for: provision of youth programs; senior programming; strategies to address
homelessness; public services; public facilities; new parks/recreation facilities; existing parks/recreation
facilities improvements; affordable housing programs; economic development activities; code
enforcement; planning activities.
The Strategic Plan additionally outlines the City's method for addressing barriers to affordable housing,
its homelessness and anti-poverty strategies, and its methodology for eliminating lead-based paint
hazards within the housing stock.

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.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.

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

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy— 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Available statistics currently indicate that the City of Tustin has 26 percent of its homeless population
which is unsheltered. The City of Tustin is directly assisting the unsheltered homeless population within
Tustin through the 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.
It should additionally be noted,that in March 2019,the City of Tustin opened a new low-barrier temporary
homeless shelter with 57 emergency shelter beds for men,women,and families with children.This facility
is operated by Temporary Shelter, Inc., and includes a variety of wrap-around and other supportive
services to be administered at the site.This site is being established to ensure that unsheltered homeless
individuals with ties to Tustin have the opportunity to be provided with a bed and shelter. The site also
has potential to expand in the future, should the need arise.
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 living as
independently as possible. The plan includes up to 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, Human Options and, Temporary
Shelter, Inc.
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 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.
The Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC) system consists of five basic components:

• 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;
• 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 referral to necessary service providers or
housing finders;
• 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
• Permanent housing, or permanent supportive housing, to help meet the long-term needs of
homeless individuals and families.
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 up to 387 beds, an increase of 195 beds. This emergency and transitional housing facility
is currently in operation. Please refer to the description (see question above) of the new low-barrier
homeless shelter which has opened in Tustin and will be an asset to homeless within the community.
With respect to both emergency shelter and transitional housing needs addressed during 2020-2025
Consolidated Plan cycle, the City will allocate CDBG funds to: Families Forward Transitional Housing
Program; OC Gateway to Housing's Bridge Housing Program and, Human Options Third Step Transitional
Housing Program; Mercy House Family Care Center.
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 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.
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. 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.
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:
• Helping low-income families avoid becoming homeless.
• Reaching out to homeless persons and assessing their individual needs.
• Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons.
• 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:
• Continue to refer homeless persons and homeless families with children to service agencies and
organizations;
• Support agencies which provide shelter and other services to the homeless through financial
contributions funded through the CDBG Program.
• 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:
• Coordination and cooperation among the Cities of Tustin and Irvine, support service
providers, school districts and advocates for the homeless should be promoted.
• Creating a program and service system separate from the mainstream is inefficient and not
consistent with the concept of breaking the cycle of homelessness.

DocuSign Envelope ID:76B50E78-1654-425D-978D-4007BC3F3ADA
• 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.
• Linkages with job-training, employment and education should be encouraged.
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), 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, veterans services, family and infant care, and youth services through Boys and Girls Clubs of
Tustin, and YMCA of Orange County.

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 2011-2015 ACS and 2011-2015 CHAS was utilized. The data states that of the total
units built before 1980, 6,560 or 51%of owner-occupied units and 7,055 or 56%of renter-occupied units
are at risk for LBP hazards. In addition, in housing units built before 1980 with children present, 2,145 or
17%of owner-occupied units and 1,010 or 8%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 16,770 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 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.

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy— 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families
The City of Tustin does not have a formally adopted Anti-Poverty Strategy. However, the City's Housing
Element includes several goals, policies and programs designed to provide adequate, safe and affordable
housing for all segments of the population. Five of the six goals within the Housing Element deal with
ensuring that housing is affordable to all segments of the City's population. The City has adopted
corresponding policies and programs to implement the strategies. Included below are the City of Tustin's
Anti-Poverty Goals and Policies.
How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this
affordable housing plan
Tustin is and will continue to be home to persons requiring a variety of housing options.At different stages
in their lives, people require different housing arrangements. Additionally, the City must respond to the
housing needs of all economic segments of community and ensure that housing discrimination does not
serve as a barrier to housing in Tustin. It is also important that the City maintain a balance of housing
types and that the City's housing stock is not overly skewed towards the provision of one type of
housing. Finally, the continuing need for low income housing in the region requires the City attempt to
preserve low-income housing units that are at risk of converting to other uses.
Anti-Poverty Goals and Policies Part I
Goal 1: Provide an adequate supply of housing to meet the need for a variety of housing types to meet
the diverse socio-economic needs of all community residents.
Policy 1.1: Promote the construction of additional dwelling units to accommodate Tustin's share of
regional housing needs identified by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), in
accordance with adopted land use policies.
Policy 1.2: Pursue smart grown principles by supporting the construction of higher density housing,
affordable housing, and mixed use development (the vertical and horizontal integration of commercial
and residential uses) in proximity to transit, services, shopping, schools, senior centers and recreational
facilities, where possible.
Policy 1.3: Consider site scoring, income targeting, and other selection criteria for competitive funding
sources for affordable housing, such as Low Income Housing Tax Credits, when allocating Agency
resources for affordable housing to maximize leverage of local funds.
Policy 1.4: Continue to implement best practices for developer selection, project underwriting and due
diligence for affordable housing developments that receive financial and other assistance to ensure long-
term viability of affordable housing and to ensure the maximized leverage of local resources.

DocuSign Envelope ID:76B50E78-1654-425D-978D-4007BC3F3ADA
Policy 1.5: Preserve affordable housing units, where possible, through actions such as the maintenance
of a mobile home park zone, restrictions on R-3 zone uses, facilitating resident access to funding sources
for preservation low income housing and of assisted housing.
Policy 1.6 Promote the dispersion and integration of housing for low- and very-low income families
throughout the community as opposed to within any particular geographic area, neighborhood, or
project.
Policy 1.7: Encourage the County of Orange to exercise its responsibilities for housing accommodations
for low-and very-low income families within Tustin's sphere of influence.
Policy 1.8: Allow second (attached/detached) units in single- and multi-family districts consistent with
the Tustin City Code.
Policy 1.9: Utilize Planned Community Districts and Specific Plans to authorize and promote a variety of
lot sizes and housing types.
Anti-Poverty Goals and Policies (Continued) Part II
Policy 1.10: Promote cluster housing consistent with General Plan land use density standards to reduce
the cost of housing construction.
Policy 1.11: Encourage the availability of affordable housing for special needs households, including
large, low-income families. Special needs households include the elderly, large families, female-headed
households, households with a disabled person, and the homeless.
Policy 1.12: Encourage incentives to assist in the development of affordable housing such as 1) reducing
permit processing time and waiving or reducing applicable permit fees; 2) on-site density bonuses when
appropriate; 3) tax-exempt financing including continuing to make use of the City's membership in the
California Statewide Communities Development Authority to provide opportunities for developer
assistance in pre-development and development financing of affordable housing programs;
4)flexibility in zoning or development standards;and 5)otherfinancial incentives using Tustin Community
Redevelopment Agency housing set-aside funds and a variety of special State and Federal grant and
housing programs.
Policy 1.13: Encourage the design and occupancy of housing for senior citizens and the disabled. Promote
the construction or rehabilitation and adoption of dwelling units accessible to seniors and/or the disabled.
Policy 1.14: Provide continued support for the County Homeless Assistance Program and other homeless
assistance programs within Tustin and in adjacent cities, including the continued use of the City's
membership in California Statewide Communities Development Authority to issue private activity

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.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.

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 serve a majority of Low/Mod
income residents, and Public Facilities projects must fall within the CDBG Low/Mod Census Tract Area.

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 2020-21 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 2020-21
Action Plan reflects this"geographic" priority for allocating investment as indicated on the CDBG Low-and
Moderate-Income Areas and Project Locations maps.

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 24, 2019, a Point-In-Time Homelessness count was
conducted in Tustin. Data from this point in time count indicated that on the evening of the Point in Time
Count there were 359 homeless individuals counted within the City of Tustin. Of the 359 counted, 95
individuals (26%) were unsheltered, and 264 individuals (73%) were sheltered.
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
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 Meals on Wheels Orange County 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 orother 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 2020-21: 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 Family Care Center; Families Forward Transitional Housing Program; Orange
County Gateway to Housing's Bridge Housing Program; and, Veteran's Legal Institute Pro Bono Mobile
Legal Clinics which are designed to serve homeless or at-risk veterans.
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 has 26 percent of its homeless population
which is unsheltered. The City of Tustin is directly assisting the unsheltered homeless population within
Tustin through the 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.
It should additionally be noted, that in March 2019, the City of Tustin opened a new low-barrier
temporary homeless shelter with 57 emergency shelter beds for men, women, and families with children.
This facility is operated by Temporary Shelter, Inc., and includes a variety of wrap-around and other
supportive services which are administered at the site. This site is being established to ensure that
unsheltered homeless individuals with ties to Tustin have the opportunity to be provided with a bed and
shelter.
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 living as
independently as possible. The plan includes up to 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, Human Options and, Temporary
Shelter, Inc.
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 up to 387 beds, an increase of 195 beds. This emergency and transitional housing
facility is currently in operation.
Please refer to the description (see question above) of the new low-barrier homeless shelter which will
be opening in Tustin and will be an asset to homeless within the community.
With respect to both emergency shelter and transitional housing needs addressed during PY 2020-21,the

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. 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 theirfamilies housed,where they would otherwise become homeless without the assistance
provided by the program. Two additional homeless/at-risk homeless veterans' services will be provided
through Veterans Legal Institute, in which pro bono legal services will be provided to assist these
veterans.; and Patriots& Paws which assists low-income/at-risk veterans with furnishing their homes and
apartments. 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), 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, meals for seniors, veterans services, family and infant care, healthcare services, and youth

Through the 2020-21 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— 91.220(j)
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 2020-21 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
• Density Bonus program
• Mixed Use zoning
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.

AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
Introduction:
The five-year Consolidated Plan contains a housing and homeless needs assessment which describes
estimated housing needs for Low- and Moderate-income residents, special needs populations, and the
homeless. During the 2020-21 funding year, the City of Tustin will undertake the following additional
actions to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs including the following goals: foster and
maintain affordable housing; remove barriers to affordable housing; develop institutional structure;
enhance coordination between public and private housing and social services agencies; foster public
housing improvements and resident incentives; and, use available federal, state, and local financial
resources to underserved needs.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
To meet the needs of the City's underserved population, efforts will be made 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.
• Work to provide physical improvements to slum and blighted areas and neighborhoods with
concentrations of Low-and Moderate-income areas.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City will continue to use available federal, State, and local resources to foster and maintain affordable
housing through housing rehabilitation programs for multi- and single-family dwelling units and provide
and/or maintain homeownership opportunities through various homebuyer assistance programs.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City's Consolidated Plan notes that there does not appear to be a large number of housing units in
the City that are at risk of lead-based paint hazard; however, to comply with Title X of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1992, the City has incorporated the following policies into its housing
programs:
• Review existing building, 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.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City continues to support and implement the goals, policies, and programs, as noted in the City's
Consolidated Plan TUSTIN 170

Element includes several goals, policies and programs designed to provide adequate, safe and affordable
housing for all segments of the population. Five of the six goals within the Housing Element deal with
ensuring that housing is affordable to all segments of the City's population. The City has adopted
corresponding policies and programs to implement the strategies. Attached to this report are the City of
Tustin's Anti-Poverty Goals and Policies.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City will continue to be involved in "network-building" activities with governmental, for-profit, and
nonprofit organizations. Activities include attending quarterly Orange County Cities Advisory Committee
meetings. Tustin will also continue to fund the Fair Housing Foundation which provides fair housing and
advocacy services for the region. Additionally, the City will continue to encourage and participate in
efforts to work collectively and cooperatively with other Orange County jurisdictions.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
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.
Discussion:
Through the abovementioned actions, the underserved needs of Tustin's community will be met.

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 7, 2019, and
ended on April 5, 2019. There were no public comments received 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 16, 2019.

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 the 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 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:
• To encourage citizens, particularly residents of low- and moderate-income living in areas eligible
for the use of program funds, including minorities, non-English speaking persons, and persons
with mobility, visual, or hearing impairments, to participate in the development of the
Consolidated Plan/Action Plan.
• To assure that citizens are furnished with appropriate information about the Consolidated Plan
and its various component programs.
• The City started the Citizen Participation process by publishing a Notice of Funding Availability
(NOFA) in the local newspaper seeking Request for Funding Applications for public service
activities for the 2019-20 Program Year. In addition, the City also sent the NOFA
to over 80 nonprofit organizations. The City received 14 applications requesting$296,600.

To develop the City's 2019-20 Action Plan, two public hearings are being conducted. The first public
hearing was held by the Citizen Participation Committee on February 28, 2019. 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 16, 2019, bythe 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 begins on March 7, 2019, and ended on
April 5, 2019.
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. During 2018, Habitat for Humanity completed construction on
two affordable condominium units, designated to provide affordable housing for veterans and their
families. In its efforts to address the needs of homeless families,the City of Tustin has adopted an Exclusive
Negotiating Agreement with Family Promise of Orange County, who is proposing to construct a project
consisting of seven (7) units, including a family resource center for the purpose of providing short-term
transitional housing for homeless families.
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.

DocuSign Envelope ID:76B50E78-1654-425D-978D-4007BC3F3ADA
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.
It should additionally be noted,that in March 2019,the City of Tustin opened a new low-barrier temporary
homeless shelter with 50 emergency shelter beds for men,women,and families with children.This facility

Expected Resources

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 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 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 General Fund monies,the City's Housing Authority set-aside funds,and
Land Contribution 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

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources(private,state and local funds),including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
CDBG funding will be used to provide services to low/mod income persons,the special needs community,economic development,and address
slum and blight within the CDBG low/mod census tract target area.To further supplement these federal funds and to ensure the needs of the
community are met,the City of Tustin leverages General Fund and Housing Authority funds.For example,a Public Facilities Improvement project
completed within the CDBG Low/Moderate Income Target Area may be funded by CDBG,but will require supplemental General Fund monies in
order to be completed.Housing Authority funding is leveraged in order to provide affordable housing and other related housing services to Tustin
Residents.

1 Goal Name Preservation of At-Risk Rental Units
Goal The City will preserve its existing affordable housing by utilizing CDBG funds, Housing Authority funds, and other Federal/State
Description resources. 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.

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 11,833
Description 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
and Arbor Walk,where 279 affordable housing unit covenants remain for 45 years. Tustin Legacy also contains 153 affordable Senior
rental units at Coventry Court,225 affordable rental units in the Anton Legacy Apartments,and 37 affordable units within Amalfi
Apartments.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 2019-20 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 2019-20 Program Year,the City anticipates providing five(5)housing units(affordable ownership unit resales).
3 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 homebuyer
Description 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 2019-20 Program Year,the City anticipates assisting three(3)households.

9 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 comparatively
Description 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.
Although the Frontier Park Walking Trail and Irrigation Renovation project is ongoing,there are no new parks/recreation facilities
projects proposed for the 2019-20 Program Year.
10 Goal Name Infrastructure Improvements
Goal The majority of the streets,sidewalks,and infrastructure in the CDBG target area,were constructed more than 40 years ago. Also,
Description 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.
Although funded during the previous 2018-19 Program Year, infrastructure improvements which are anticipated to be
continued throughout the 2019-20 Program Year include:
Red Hill Improvements-Public improvements along the Red Hill Avenue corridor within the Red Hill Avenue Specific Plan
area, including, but not limited to: median improvements; striping to accomodate bicycle lanes; and, pedestrian
enhancements.

Target Area will directly benefit from the improvements.
11 Goal Name Graffiti Removal
Goal The Tustin City Council has provided direction to City Staff to fund Graffiti removal out of the City's general fund during 2019-20 as
Description opposed to using CDBG funding for these costs.Graffiti removal will remain ongoing throughout the 2019-20 Program Year,but will
not be funded through CDBG.During the 2019-20 Program Year,the City still anticipates assisting 32,993 individuals residing in the
CDBG Low/Mod Income Census Tract Targe Area by removing 3,000 cases of graffiti.

12 Goal Name Congregate/Home Delivered Meals
Goal Area senior services are presently provided through the City's full-service senior center located in Old Town Tustin. While the senior
Description 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 CDBG-funded 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 2019-20 Program Year,it is anticipated that SeniorSery will provide 145 congregate and/or home-delivered meals.
13 Goal Name Economic Development
Goal Stimulating and retaining business within the CDBG target areas is necessary to rejuvenate dilapidated areas, stimulate private
Description 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.
CDBG funds are not allocated during the 2019-20 Program Year for Economic Development activities;however,additional 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 Economic Development Department has assumed the responsibilities of economic
development with the dissolution of the City's Redevelopment Agency. The Department provides businesses with
information about 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. The City also facilitates preliminary development/business license
application meetings to discuss site location needs that would be of mutual benefit to the City and businesses and may be
able to facilitate land assembly assistance or zoning incentives. The Community Development Department provides permit
streamlining services to target businesses.
During the 2019-20 Program Year,the City anticipates that one(1)business will be assisted through CDBG funding,and that five(5)
additional Economic Development Programs will be administered.

14 Goal Name Code Enforcement
Goal Property maintenance issues are of significant importance to the community as the majority of residential,commercial,and industrial
Description 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. Programs addressing code enforcement include:
• Code Enforcement—Provide community preservation services through the funding of a full-time Code Enforcement Officer
who will work only with the CDBG Low/Moderate Income Target Area of the city.
During the 2019-20 Program Year,the City anticipates 100 Code Enforcement cases to be addressed within the CDBG Low/Moderate
Income Census Tract Target Area.

15 Goal Name Planning Activities
Goal Planning services are needed to administer the CDBG program, to prepare planning documents, and to facilitate fair housing
Description assistance-these services are necessary to support other Consolidated Plan priorities. Planning and administration programs include:
• Fair Housing Activities—Tustin has distinct and independent policies and programs that affect housing development. From
time to time the City will review these policies and programs and evaluate if modifications may be warranted to ensure the
jurisdiction is affirmatively furthering fair housing. In addition,CDBG funds will be allocated to contract with the Fair Housing
Foundation to provide fair housing services to Tustin residents. The Fair Housing Foundation activities during the 2019-20
reporting period will include:Fair Housing Community Education—Conduct fair housing community education presentations,

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.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution — 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration)where assistance will be directed
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
Census Tract Area. Please refer to the Appendix C to view a map of the CDBG Low/Mod Census Tract
Target Area, as well as a map of CDBG Funded project locations.

CDBG Low/Mod Census Tract Target Area 100
Table 8-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 includes that:
• This area has been identified as having a population at least 51% or higher of low/moderate
income residents. The housing stock in this area is primarily 30 years old or older, which indicates
it may be in need of rehabilitation.
• Needs within this area include affordable housing, child care, improved access to public facilities
and services, and infrastructure street/sidewalk improvements.
• Opportunities for improvement in this area include providing increased access to services for
youth and children, increased access to public facilities such as parks, and improving the
conditions of sidewalks and streets.
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 2019-20 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

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 24, 2019, a Point-In-Time Homelessness count was
conducted in Tustin. Data from this point in time count will be provided once it is made available by 2-1-
1 Orange County.
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
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 2019-20: 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 Family Care Center; and, Veteran's Legal Institute Pro Bono Mobile Legal Clinics
which are designed to serve homeless or at-risk veterans.
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 has 22 percent of its homeless population
which is unsheltered. The City of Tustin is directly assisting the unsheltered homeless population within
Tustin through the 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.
It should additionally be noted,that in March 2019,the City of Tustin opened a new low-barrier temporary
homeless shelter with 50 emergency shelter beds for men,women,and families with children.This facility
is operated by Temporary Shelter, Inc., and will include a variety of wrap-around and other supportive
services to be administered at the site.This site is being established to ensure that unsheltered homeless
individuals with ties to Tustin have the opportunity to be provided with a bed and shelter.
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 living 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, Human Options and, Temporary
Shelter, Inc.
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.
Please refer to the description (see question above) of the new low-barrier homeless shelter which will
be opening in Tustin and will be an asset to homeless within the community.
With respect to both emergency shelter and transitional housing needs addressed during PY 2019-20,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 Family
Care Center.

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. 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), 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, veterans services, family and infant care, and youth services through Boys and Girls Clubs of

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing— 91.220(j)
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 2019-20 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
• Density Bonus program
• Mixed Use zoning
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.

Introduction:
The five-year Consolidated Plan contains a housing and homeless needs assessment which describes
estimated housing needs for Low- and Moderate-income residents, special needs populations, and the
homeless. During the 2019-20 funding year, the City of Tustin will undertake the following additional
actions to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs including the following goals: foster and
maintain affordable housing; remove barriers to affordable housing; develop institutional structure;
enhance coordination between public and private housing and social services agencies; foster public
housing improvements and resident incentives; and, use available federal, state, and local financial
resources to underserved needs.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
To meet the needs of the City's underserved population, efforts will be made 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.

the City that are at risk of lead-based paint hazard; however, to comply with Title X of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1992, the City has incorporated the following policies into its housing
programs:
• Review existing building, 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
