COORELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
The Housing Successor Agency Annual Report documents how the provision of and
management of Tustin's affordable housing contributes to Goal A of the City's Strategic
Plan, enhancing the vibrancy and quality of life in all neighborhoods and areas of the
community.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On March 15, 2011 , the City Council approved Resolution No. 11-20 establishing the
Tustin Housing Authority ("Housing Authority") in accordance with the California
Housing Authorities Law (CHAL). On April 19, 2011 , the Housing Authority
Commissioners ("Commissioners") adopted Resolution HA No. 11-01 approving the By-
Laws for the Housing Authority. On January 17, 2012, the Commissioners adopted
Resolution HA No. 12-01 , approving the assumption of housing assets and functions
previously performed by the former Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency
("Agency"). The Housing Authority's assumption of assets and functions became
effective February 1 , 2012, establishing the Housing Authority as the Housing
Successor Agency for the former Agency.
On October 13, 2013, Senate Bill ("SB") 341 was chaptered into law, amending HSC
Section 34176.1 to address particular provisions and functions related to the new
housing successor entities of former redevelopment agencies. SB 341 requires all
housing successor entities to file an annual report within six months after the end of
each fiscal year ("FY"), starting with the FY ending in 2014, and to provide an
independent financial audit to the legislative body. The purpose is to provide the
governing body of the housing successor an annual report on the housing assets and
activities of the housing successor under Part 1 .85, Division 24 of the HSC, in particular
sections 34176 and 34176.1 (Dissolution Law).

Section 34176.1(a)(3)(A) requires that the Housing Successor expend at least 30% of the
LMIHAF used for affordable housing development on rental housing affordable to and occupied
by households earning 30% or less of the AMI. If the Housing Successor fails to comply with the
Extremely-Low Income requirement in any five-year report, then the Housing Successor must
ensure that at least 50% of the funds remaining in the LMIHAF be expended in each fiscal year
following the latest fiscal year following the report on households earning 30% or less of the AMI
until the Housing Successor demonstrates compliance with the Extremely-Low Income
requirement. The first 5-year period the Housing Successor was required to report compliance
with Section 34176.1(a)(3)(A) was 2014-2019 and every five years hereafter.
The Housing Successor only utilized funds for administration and monitoring of housing
units subject to affordable housing agreements and for homeless prevention and rapid
rehousing services. There were no funds expended for the development of rental housing
during FY 2019-2020. The Housing Successor was in compliance with Section
34176.1(a)(3)(A) for the first 5-year reporting period, 2014-2019, and remains in compliance
in FY 2019-2020..

XI. SENIOR HOUSING TEST
The Housing Successor is to calculate the percentage of units of deed-restricted rental housing
restricted to seniors and assisted by the Housing Successor, the former redevelopment agency
and/or the City within the previous 10 years in relation to the aggregate number of units of deed-
restricted rental housing assisted by the Housing Successor, the former redevelopment agency
and/or City within the same time period. If this percentage exceeds 50%, then the Housing
Successor cannot expend future funds in the LMIHAF to assist additional senior housing units
until the Housing Successor or City assists and construction has commenced on a number of
restricted rental units that is equal to 50% of the total amount of deed-restricted rental units.
The following provides the Housing Successor's Senior Housing Test for the 10-year period of
July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2020:

account during the Housing Successor's preceding four Fiscal Years, whichever is greater.
The following provides the Excess Surplus test for the preceding four Fiscal Years:
Year FY 2016/17 FY 2017/18 FY 2018/19 FY 2019/20
Beginning $1,928,577.43 $2,549,831.63 $2,672,551.32 $3,469,315.85
Balance
Add: Deposits $916,066.85 $744,065.17 $1,559,090.91 $93,224.85
(Less) ($294,812.65) ($621,345.48) ($762,326.38) ($1,365,835.26)
Expenditures
Ending $2,549,831.63 $2,672,551.32 $3,469,315.85 $2,196,705.44
Balance
Given that the Housing Successor has 35 years remaining of monitoring our 279 housing units,
50 years of monitoring our 415 affordable rental units, and there is no other funding source for
monitoring and administrative expenses, the balance of funds is encumbered and there is no
Excess Surplus.
