BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The California Housing Authorities Law of the California Health and Safety Code
Section 34328 ("HSC") requires the Housing Authority submit to the legislative body and
the California State Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") an
annual report for the preceding fiscal year.
On March 15, 2011, the City Council approved Resolution No. 11-20 establishing the
Tustin Housing Authority ("Housing Authority") in accordance with the California
Housing Authorities Law ("CHAL"). On April 19, 2011, the Housing Authority
Commissioners ("Commissioners") adopted Resolution HA No. 11-01 approving the By -
Laws for the Housing Authority. On January 17, 2012, the Commissioners adopted
Resolution HA No. 12-01, approving the assumption of housing assets and functions
previously performed by the former Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency
("Agency"). The assumption of assets and functions became effective February 1, 2012.
In accordance with Section 34328 of CHAL, the Housing Authority shall annually file on
the first day of October with the City Clerk and HCD a complete report of its activities for
the preceding year. The report shall contain information adequate for the City and HCD
to determine the requirements of Section 34312.3 have been met for any activity
undertaken pursuant to that section and those requirements are identified below. The
report shall also make either directly or through any national, regional, or state housing
association or organization of which it may be a member, recommendations with
reference to additional legislation or other action which it deems necessary to carry out
the purposes of CHAL. As a result of assuming the Agency's assets and functions, the
report is broken out into two sections. Section One provides data as required under
Section 34328.1 and outlines compliance with Section 34312.3. Section Two lists the
activities associated with the assumption of the Agency's housing assets and functions.
Pursuant to Section 34328.1 of CHAL, Section One of the annual report contains the
following:
1. Recommendations for needed legislation to carry on properly a program of housing
and community development in this state.
2. Data on terminations of tenancies of victims of domestic violence in housing
authority units, and terminations of Section 8 vouchers of victims of domestic
violence.

a. The data shall be included in all cases where a notice of termination was given,
regardless of whether the termination was based in whole or in part on activity
related to the domestic violence, and whether the notice resulted in the victim
vacating the premises or actual termination of the voucher.
b. For each termination, the report shall briefly specify steps taken, if any, by the
authority to address the situation or assist the victim prior to the termination,
and, if known, the subsequent housing obtained by the victim. If no steps were
taken, the authority may include an explanation of why none were deemed
necessary.
c. The report shall include data on terminations of all victims of domestic violence,
as reported or known to the authority, its employees, or agents, whether or not
an arrest was made or any report was filed.
d. The report may include any other information regarding domestic violence
victim terminations deemed relevant by the authority.
e. For purposes of this section, "domestic violence" has the meaning set forth in
Section 6211 of the Family Code.
3. Pursuant to Section 34328, the Housing Authority's annual report shall contain
information adequate for the City and HCD to determine the requirements of
Section 34312.3 have been met for any activity undertaken pursuant to that
section. In accordance with Section 34312.3, the Housing Authority may do any of

acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, refinancing, or development of
multifamily rental housing or make loans to lending institutions under terms
and conditions which, in addition to other provisions determined by the
authority, shall require the lending institutions to use the net proceeds of the
loans for the making, directly or indirectly, of construction loans or mortgage
loans to finance the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, refinancing, or
development of multifamily rental housing.

4. Any activities where the authority developed, rehabilitated, or financed housing
projects or participated in the development, rehabilitation, or financing of housing
projects; or purchased, sold, leased, owned, operated, or managed housing
projects so assisted, subject to all of the requirements of Section 34312.3 shall be
reported.
5. A reporting breakdown of occupancy by income levels and rents for housing
projects assisted by the authority that demonstrate compliance with the following:
a. Not less than 20 percent of all units in housing projects are available for
occupancy on a priority basis to persons of low income and base rents are
adjusted for household size, as determined pursuant to Section 8 of the
United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. Sect 1437f) or its successor.
b. Not less than one-half of the units are occupied by, or made available to very
low-income households, as defined by Section 50105 and rental payments for
those units do not exceed the amount derived by multiplying 30 percent times
50 percent of the median adjusted gross income for Orange County, adjusted
for family size.
6. Any indebtedness incurred pursuant to a mortgage loan finance under the terms of
Section 34312.3 that is subject to acceleration and the balance owing declared
immediately due and payable upon any sale of an owner -occupied residence to a
purchaser who does not meet the required qualifications for borrowers as
established by the authority.
7. Certification the authority is requiring the owners of housing projects assisted
pursuant to Section 34312.3 to accept as tenants, on the same basis as all other
prospective tenants, in the units reserved for very low-income households, any
very low income households who are recipients of federal certificates for rent
subsidies pursuant to the existing program under Section 8 of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 1437f), or its successor. The authority shall
not permit selection criteria to be applied to Section 8 certificate holders that is any
more burdensome than the criteria applied to all other prospective tenants.
8. Certification that no resident in housing units assisted pursuant to Section 34312.3
shall be denied continued occupancy or ownership because, after admission, the
resident's family income increases to exceed the eligibility level. However, the
authority shall ensure that percentage requirements of this section shall continue to
be met by providing the next available unit or units to persons of low income or by
taking other actions to satisfy the percentage requirements of this section.
9. In determining whether the percentage requirements of subdivision (c) have been
achieved, the following terms and conditions shall be applied:
a. The requirement that 20 percent or 15 percent, as the case may be, of the
housing units assisted by an authority pursuant to this section shall be
Agenda Report
September 20, 2022
Page 5
available on a priority basis, or occupied by, households whose adjusted
gross income does not exceed the applicable limits prescribed by subdivision
(c) shall apply to the aggregate number of units assisted by an authority
pursuant to this section.
b. This section applies only to housing units first assisted after January 1, 1983,
and the percentage requirements of subdivision (c) shall be complied with by
January 1, 1986, and on January 1 of each even -numbered year thereafter.
c. The percentage requirements of subdivision (c) shall be achieved within each
of the following categories: (1) rental housing developments; (2)
homeownership developments; and (3) rehabilitation financing. Housing units
provided by rehabilitation financing shall not be counted within either of the
first two categories.
10. Units required to be reserved for occupancy by subdivision (c) and financed with
the proceeds of bonds issued on or after January 1, 1986, shall remain occupied
by, or made available to, those persons until the bonds are retired.
11. Multifamily rental housing financed pursuant to Section 34312.3 shall not be
subject to the requirements of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) and paragraph
(2) of subdivision (c), and the requirements of subdivision (d), if all of the following
requirements are fulfilled:
a. The housing authority offers each tenant a homeownership opportunity when
the bonds are retired.
b. A special trust fund or account which is funded with bond issuance proceeds
or developer contributions, or both, is established no later than the time the
multifamily rental housing is first occupied. The initial funding of the account
shall be no less than 5 percent of the face value of the bonds issued for the
multifamily rental housing project. Upon repayment of the bonds, these
funds, and all interest accruing thereon, less any amounts necessary to pay
outstanding claims, shall be used to assist housing units for persons of very
low income.
c. The requirements of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) and subparagraph (A)
of paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) shall remain in effect for the periods
required by Section 103(b)(12)(B) of Title 26 of the United States Code.
12. It is the intent of the California State Legislature, and the Legislature declares, that
housing authorities are the local entities with primary responsibility for providing
housing for low-income and very low-income households within their jurisdictions.
However, recognizing that housing projects only for low-income households cannot
be adequately assisted or developed with currently available funds, and that
excess funds from housing projects assisted pursuant to this section can be
utilized to further assist in the provision of housing for lower income households, it

is the intent of the Legislature that the authorization of this section is to be used to
enhance and supplement the traditional housing authority role of providing housing
only for low-income households.
13. The authority shall provide the Department of Housing and Community
Development funds as requested by the department to reimburse the department
for the cost of processing the report required by this section.
ANALYSIS
Section One reports there were no activities as it relates to the Housing Authority
financing and/or purchasing rental housing projects. In addition, the Housing Authority
does not own any rental housing projects and, as a result, does not have anything to
report on tenant data. Section Two highlights Housing Authority activities, which
include: 1) Affordable Ownership Housing; 2) Affordable Rental Housing; 3) Homeless
Services; and 4) Policy Activities.
Upon approval of the recommended actions, the Housing Authority's FY 2021-2022
Annual Report will be submitted to the California Department of Housing and
Community Development prior to October 1, 2022.

SECTION TWO — ASSUMPTION OF AGENCY ASSETS & FUNCTIONS
Affordable Ownership Housing
Effective February 1, 2012, the Housing Authority assumed the housing assets and
functions of the former Agency. The assumption included three hundred five (305)
covenant -restricted affordable housing ownership units, two (2) covenant -restricted
senior affordable housing rental projects and two (2) loan -restricted affordable housing
rental four-plexes. In FY 2012-2013, the homeowner of one (1) covenant -restricted
ownership unit paid off their first-time homebuyer loan, thus removing the affordability
restrictions. In FY 2015-2016, sixteen (16) affordable housing covenants expired in the
Tustin Grove development. On June 7, 2016, the Housing Authority Commission
authorized the sale of two (2) Housing Authority -owned affordable homes at market rate.
One (1) of the units was acquired in order to cure an affordable moderate income
homeowner's default and the second was acquired during a Trustee's Sale. The two (2)
units were listed for sale in FY 2015-2016, both units sold, at market rate in FY 2016-
2017. In FY 2016-2017, five (5) affordable housing covenants expired in the Ambrose
Lane development. During FY 2017-2018, two (2) Housing Authority -owned affordable
homes were acquired in a Trustee's Sale, one (1) sold in FY 2017-2018 and the other
sold in FY 2018-2019, as authorized by the Housing Authority Commission, at market
rate. As of the reporting date, the Housing Authority is managing 279 covenant -restricted
affordable housing units. The Housing Authority's primary function is to increase,
improve, and preserve the community's supply of low- and moderate -income ownership
housing available at an affordable housing cost and is detailed in the following section:
ReSales — The Housing Authority assisted three (3) existing homeowners in selling
their affordable housing units to income -eligible homeowners. Assistance included:
a. Provided existing homeowners with the maximum affordable sales price.
The Housing Authority prepared maximum affordable sales price quotes for
nine (9) homeowners who were considering selling their home; and
b. Reviewed required application documents to determine income -eligibility of
prospective homebuyers; and
c. Reviewed title reports, appraisals, and purchase documentation in order to
calculate the "silent second" the City would record against the property; and
d. Prepared affordable housing documents for signature by both parties; and
e. Followed up with the escrow company to insure all affordable housing
documents were recorded against the property as prepared.
In addition to affordable ownership sales activity, the Housing Authority assumed
the functions of administering the Residential Rehabilitation Program and facilitating
new affordable ownership purchases. As a result of the passage of AB1X 26, the
Residential Rehabilitation Program has been suspended. All housing
developments, which included affordable housing ownership units, have been
completed and the affordable housing units were sold prior to FY 2021-2022. There
are currently no affordable housing ownership units planned for construction. The
following table summarizes activity by income category for New Purchase, Resale
and Rehab activity:

2. Refinances — The Housing Authority assisted thirteen (13) affordable homeowners
refinance their existing mortgage by subordinating the City's Silent Second to the
new first mortgage. All thirteen (13) affordable homeowners successfully refinanced
their mortgage, resulting in an average savings of $37.18 per month. Six (6) of the
thirteen (13) reduced their loan term from 30 years to either 20, 15 or 10 years.
3. Monitoring — The Housing Authority is responsible for monitoring the affordability
restrictions recorded against the 279 affordable ownership units located within five
(5) housing developments. As a result of each development's different monitoring
criteria, the Housing Authority mailed out two hundred fifty-eight (258) "Annual
Owner Certification" forms prior to the end of FY 2021-2022. Homeowners must
initial and sign the forms and submit requested supporting documentation.
4. Habitat for Humanity — On July 5, 2016, the City and the Housing Authority entered
into a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with Habitat for Humanity of
Orange County ("Habitat"). In FY 2017-2018, the City conveyed a City -owned, R3-
zoned lot to Habitat for the purpose of building two (2) affordable units to be sold to
income -eligible Veterans. Construction of the two homes began in FY 2017-2018. In
FY 2018-2019, construction was completed and two Veteran families moved in to
their new homes in December 2018.
5. Transitional Units — Of the 279 units, the Housing Authority assumed eighteen (18)
transitional housing units with three (3) non-profit agencies: Human Options, Inc.;
Salvation Army; and OC Gateway to Housing ("OC Gateway"), managing six (6)
units each. On July 1, 2021, OC Gateway merged with Families Forward and, on
August 17, 2021, the City Council approved Families Forward conversion of the units
from transitional housing to permanent affordable rental housing for very low income
families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The activity summary for
those 6 units is included in the Affordable Rental Housing section below. As part of
the Housing Authority's annual monitoring, the Housing Authority requests an annual
report from each of the agencies. The following is a combined summary, for the
twelve (12) remaining transitional housing units, of the activity that occurred in FY
2021 - 2022:

Affordable Rental Housing
The Housing Authority assumed the functions of monitoring the two (2) covenant -
restricted senior affordable housing rental projects (Heritage Place and Coventry Court)
and two (2) loan -restricted affordable housing four-plexes. Since 2012, the Housing
Authority has negotiated the development of additional affordable rental housing. The
Housing Authority's primary function is to increase, improve, and preserve the
community's supply of low- and moderate -income rental housing and is detailed in the
following section:
Heritage Place and Coventry ourt — The Housing Authority assumed the functions
of monitoring the two (2) covenant -restricted senior affordable housing rental
projects (Heritage Place and Coventry Court) and two (2) loan -restricted
affordable housing four-plexes. There are fifty-three (53) affordable units (33 — very
low; and 20 — low) and one (1) manager's unit at Heritage Place. As of June 30,
2022, all 33 very low and 20 low income units were leased. Note: Due to the more
restrictive Tax Credit regulatory agreement, Heritage Place, has more very low
income units than are required by the City agreement. At Coventry Court, one
hundred fifty-three (153) of the two hundred forty (240) units are affordable (36 —
very low; 61 — low; and 56 — moderate). As of June 30, 2022, all 36 very low, 61
low, and 56 moderate affordable units were leased.
2. Residential Rental Rehabilitation — The Housing Authority assumed the functions of
monitoring two (2) loan -restricted affordable housing four-plexes that benefitted from
the Residential Rehabilitation Program for multi -family housing. Each four-plex is
required to provide three (3) moderate income units for a total of six (6) moderate
income units. As of June 30,2022, 5 units were leased. As a result of the passage
of AB1X 26, the Residential Rental Rehabilitation Program funded with
Redevelopment funds was suspended.
3. Amalfi and Anton Legacy — During FY 2014 — 2015, two covenant -restricted
affordable housing rental projects in Tustin Legacy (Amalfi and Anton Legacy)
began leasing and the Housing Authority became responsible for monitoring both
projects. At Amalfi, thirty-seven (37) of the five hundred thirty-three (533) units are
moderate -income, affordable units. As of June 30, 2022, all 37 units were leased.
There are two hundred twenty-five (225) affordable units (88 - very low; 73 — low;
and 64 — moderate) at Anton Legacy. As of June 30, 2022, 87 very low, 70 low,
and 57 moderate income units were leased. During FY 2021 — 2022, the Housing
Authority assumed the functions of monitoring the Families Forward six (6) very
low income rental housing units. As of June 30, 2022, 5 very low income units were
leased. The following table summarizes activity by income category for Rental

4. At -Risk Affordable Units — As identified in the City's 2008-09/2017-18
Comprehensive Affordable Housing Strategy, there were two hundred seventy-
seven (277) affordable rental units in Tustin which were at -risk due to expiring
affordability restrictions. These units are not restricted by agreements with the
Housing Authority and are not part of the Housing Authority's affordable rental
inventory but they are restricted through agreements with State and Federal
agencies. In November 2013, the affordability restrictions associated with the Irvine
Company Apartment Communities' Rancho Alisal, Rancho Maderas and Rancho
Tierra expired, allowing one hundred seventy-seven (177) affordable rental units to
convert to market rate. The plan to preserve affordability outlined in the Housing
Strategy was not viable with the Dissolution of Redevelopment and the recapture by
the State of the Housing Authority's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund
Balance. Affected renters were referred to the County of Orange Affordable Housing
Rental List as well as encouraged to place their names on interest lists for Amalfi
and Anton Legacy Apartments. Tustin Gardens has a Section 8 contract for ninety-
nine (99) units that is extended on an annual basis. The contract was due to expire
on July 31, 2022; however, the contract has been extended for a new 20-year period
with an expiration date of July 31, 2041. Three projects, with a combined total of four
hundred eighteen (418) units, have been identified as at risk of expiring during the
2021-2029 Housing Element planning cycle: Chatham Village, Westchester Park,
and Flanders Pointe. The Housing Authority will continue to monitor these units.
Homeless Services
The Housing Authority is responsible for overseeing the City's efforts to serve the
homeless and those efforts are detailed in the following section:
1. Tustin Veterans Outpost— In 2012, the Housing Authority assumed the management
of two (2) City -owned four-plexes. On December 16, 2014, the City Council
approved the conveyance of the 2 four-plexes to the Orange County Rescue Mission
(OCRM) for the purpose of providing services to homeless veterans. In June of
2016, OCRM completed the rehabilitation of the units and, on July 26, 2016, the first
twenty-one (21) of twenty-six (26) homeless veterans moved in to their new home
at the Tustin Veterans Outpost. As part of the annual monitoring, the Housing
Authority requests an annual report from OCRM. The following is a summary of the
activity occurring in FY 2021 - 2022:

2. House of Ruth — On November 6, 2018, the City and the Housing Authority entered
into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with Family Promise of Orange County to
build the "House of Ruth", a seven -unit transitional housing apartment development
for homeless families. On February 18, 2020, the City Council approved a
Disposition and Development Agreement with Family Promise. In May 2022, the
City conveyed the property to Family Promise. Family Promise's partner, HomeAid
of Orange County, is overseeing the construction and Brookfield Residential is the
captain builder. Construction has commenced with an anticipated completion in the
summer of 2023.
Homeless Assistance Agreement — In October 1996, the City, Local Redevelopment
Authority for MCAS Tustin ("LRA"), entered into a Homeless Assistance Agreement
("Agreement"), with the Orange County Rescue Mission, The Salvation Army,
Human Options, Irvine Temporary Housing (now known as "Families Forward"), and
Orange Coast Interfaith Shelter (now known as "OC Gateway to Housing"), to
provide homeless transitional housing and services. In 2012, the Housing Authority
assumed oversight of the Agreement. In June of 2018, a Second Amendment to the
Agreement allowed Families Forward to convert fourteen (14) Savannah
Neighborhood units in the City of Irvine from Transitional Housing to Permanent
Affordable Housing for low income households who are homeless or at risk of
homelessness. On July 1, 2021, OC Gateway merged with Families Forward and
OC Gateway transferred their six (6) units to Families Forward. On August 17, 2021,
the City Council and LRA approved the Third Amendment to the Agreement,
allowing Families Forward to convert the use of the units from transitional housing
to permanent affordable rental housing for very low income families who are
homeless or at risk of homelessness.
4. Tustin Temporary Emergency Shelter — On January 15, 2019, the Housing Authority
entered into an agreement with Temporary Shelter Inc., to operate the Tustin
Temporary Emergency Shelter ("TTES"), a low -barrier, fifty-seven (57) bed shelter
serving homeless with ties to Tustin. TTES opened on March 18, 2019. As of June
30, 2022, there were fifty-seven (57) guests. During FY 2021-2022, TTES sheltered
two hundred five (205) guests and, of the two hundred two (202) exits, eighty-six
(86) guests transitioned positively into more stable housing. The following is a
summary of the activity occurring in FY 2021 - 2022:

Policy Activities
The Housing Authority's efforts to increase, improve, and preserve the community's
supply of low- and moderate -income housing through local policies are detailed in the
following section:
Voluntary Workforce Housing Incentive Program — In September 2018, the City
Council adopted the Voluntary Workforce Housing Incentive Program, an
inclusionary housing and in -lieu fees policy. The Ordinance and In -Lieu Fee are
applicable only if a developer proposes to "up zone" property using the "Residential
Allocation Reservation" process to add residential units on property not currently
zoned for residential uses within the Downtown Commercial Core Specific Plan and
the Red Hill Specific Plan areas. Through June 30, 2022, $1,979,632.17 in In -Lieu
fees have been collected.
