Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
Introduction:
The 2025-2029 Housing and Community Development Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan)
for the City of Tustin is the comprehensive five-year planning document identifying the needs and
respective resource investments in satisfying the City's housing, homeless population, non -
homeless special needs population, community development, and economic development needs.
The Consolidated Plan outlines the City's intent in using its Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) allocations to offer decent housing, provide a suitable living environment, and expand
economic opportunities.
This document —the City of Tustin's Five-year Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2025-2029
provides the vision, goals, and plan for allocating federal housing and community development
funds granted to the City by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
HUD block grant funds covered by this plan include:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): The Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974 created the CDBG Program. The primary objective of the CDBG program is the
development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living
environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- -and
moderate -income. The CDBG regulations require that each activity meet one of the following
national objectives:
Benefit low- and moderate -income persons;
Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or
Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency.
The City is an entitlement jurisdiction, meaning it receives federal funds from HUD in proportion
to its population size. All funds must assist low- to moderate -income (LMI) individuals and families.
The Consolidated Plan serves the following functions:
It is a planning document for the City of Tustin which builds on existing citizen participatory
processes;
» An application for federal funds under HUD's CDBG formula grants program;
» A strategy to guide federal funding allocations, programs, policies, priorities; and
An allocation of funds to specific projects for the first program year of the Consolidated
Plan Cycle (2025-26 one-year Action Plan).

Docusign Envelope ID: 22B5F71A-416D-49BF-BDDC-360ED355817B
The 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.
Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan:
The City used quantitative data collected via the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis, along
with stakeholder consultations and community participation, to identify the priority needs for
residents and the strategies that can be used to address those needs.
HUD's Community Planning and Development (CPD) Outcome Performance Measurement
Framework classifies objectives in three categories: decent housing, a suitable living
environment, and economic opportunity. Based on the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis,
the Strategic Plan identifies seven priority needs to be addressed through the implementation of
activities aligned with eight Strategic Plan goals.
The seven priority needs for Tustin include support for:
Affordable Housing
Public Services
Economic Development
Public Improvements
Public Facilities
Neighborhood Revitalization
Program Administration/Planning Activities including provision of Fair Housing services
The eight a Strategic Plan goals include accomplishments such as:
Increase access to affordable housing
Support community services
Enhance public facilities and infrastructure
Support efforts to address homelessness
Promote economic development
» Neighborhood revitalization
» Affirmatively further fair housing
Support programs through program administration
Evaluation of past performance:
Consolidated Plan activities must meet one (1) of the three (3) national goals set by HUD for all
but administrative activities. The City is responsible for ensuring the Consolidated Plan meets
4
Docusign Envelope ID: 22B5F71A-416D-49BF-BDDC-360ED355817B
these goals and that its HUD -funded activities carried out under the Consolidated Plan meet its
five-year priorities and strategies. The City will measure the effectiveness of its programs through
four (4) elements of its performance evaluation system.
1. Five -Year Matrix: This matrix quantifies and summarizes the City's five-year planned
accomplishments in relation to the national performance measurement objectives,
outcomes, and the City's five-year priorities and strategies.
2. Annual Plan Tables: These tables contain measurable short-term objectives planned for
the coming year along with the planned activities, unit of accomplishment, and the number
of expected accomplishments upon completion of activities.
3. Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS): This system reports
accomplishments and other information to HUD. During the program year, the City will
enter its planned and actual accomplishments for each activity into IDIS. At the end of the
program year, the City will use IDIS to summarize its accomplishments, enter them into
the Five -Year Matrix, and update the Annual Plan tables.
4. Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER): The City will publish
the Matrix and Annual Plan Tables in each year's CAPER, which reports its
accomplishment to HUD, to reflect its number of planned and actual accomplishments and
how they relate to the long- and short-term objectives set in the Consolidated Plan and
Annual Action Plan. Such updates will allow HUD, the City's partners, City residents, and
others to track the City's performance.
During the previous five-year planning period (2020-2024), the City undertook a range of housing
and community development activities to primarily benefit the extremely low-, very low-, low-, and
moderate -income residents and those with special needs. For more detailed information, please
refer to the recent CAPER available on the City's website at www.tustinca.org/cdbq.
Summary of Citizen Participation Process and Consultation Process:
In preparing its Consolidated Plan and Action Plan, the City of Tustin contacted over 100
agencies, groups, and organizations that provide housing and supportive housing services to
residents within the City and in Orange County. Significant aspects of the development process
included consultations and cooperation between these groups in order to provide the most current
information available. To gather additional input from Tustin residents and businesses, a
community survey was released between November — December 2024 which gathered feedback
on the priority needs and goals for the CDBG program. There were approximately 100 responses
received to the community survey.
Appendix B to this report contains the notices of both public hearings, a notice of public review,
and a full list of all agencies contacted during preparation of the Action Plan.

Introduction:
HUD mandates that each jurisdiction encourage citizen participation in the development of the
Consolidated Plan and subsequent Action Plan. To facilitate this, the City of Tustin established
its Citizen Participation Plan in 1995, which was revised in January 2003. The Plan was further
amended in 2016 and 2019 to create a Citizen Participation Committee responsible for overseeing
the selection of public services funded with CDBG funds. This committee consists of the
Chairperson or their designee from the Planning Commission, Community Services Commission,
Senior Advisory Board, and Audit Commission, along with three at -large Tustin residents
appointed by the City Council. Additionally, the Citizen Participation Plan was updated to change
the funding cycle for public service activities, returning to a three-year cycle instead of an annual
one.
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:
1. To encourage citizens, particularly residents of low- and moderate -income living in areas
eligible for the use of program funds, including minorities, non-English speaking persons,
and persons with mobility, visual, or hearing impairments, to participate in the
development of the Consolidated Plan/Action Plan.
2. To assure that citizens are furnished with appropriate information about the
Consolidated Plan and its various component programs.
3. The City started the Citizen Participation process by publishing a Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) in the local newspaper seeking Request for Funding Applications for
the CDBG funds.
The 2025-26 Action Plan covers programs and projects to be undertaken during the respective
year. To develop the City's 2025-26 Action Plan, two public hearings were conducted. The first
public hearing was held by the Citizen Participation Committee on February 26, 2025. The
purpose of the first hearing was to inform interested citizens about the CDBG program, collect
community feedback on CDBG goals and priorities including community needs, and receive input
and recommendations from the CPC, to be submitted to the City Council for consideration.
Members of the public attended this hearing in an in -person and in a virtual setting. Public
comments/input from the Citizen Participation Committee included recommendations and support
for the draft goals and priorities.
A second public hearing is anticipated to be held on April 15, 2025, by the City Council. The
purpose of the second hearing is for the City Council to review the 2025-2029 Draft Consolidated
Consolidated Plan TUSTIN
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

Plan and 2025-26 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 -day public review and comment period began
on March 13, 2025, and will end on April 14, 2025.
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(I)).
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, in February 2021 the Tustin City Council approved a project
by Home Aid of Orange County in conjunction with Family Promise of Orange County, to construct
a facility with (7) units, including a family resource center, for the purpose of providing short-term
transitional housing for families with children who are experiencing homelessness.
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 by the County of Orange. The goal of the
Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs is to fund projects that fill gaps in locally
developed systems, helping homeless individuals and families move towards self-sufficiency and
permanent housing. A key focus of this effort is funding initiatives that contribute to the
Department's objective of ending chronic homelessness.
The Orange County Continuum of Care system includes six essential components: Advocacy for
individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness; Outreach, assessment, and prevention
services to evaluate the needs of homeless individuals or families; Emergency shelters with

supportive services to ensure proper shelter and referrals; Transitional housing to assist
individuals and families transitioning to permanent housing and independent living; Permanent
housing and supportive housing to address long-term needs; and efforts to reduce chronic
homelessness in Orange County, including addressing the housing needs of homeless families
and individuals using motels.
The County and Orange County Continuum of Care conducted the 2024 Point -in -Time (PIT)
Count during the week of January 22, 2024, as required every two years by the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The sheltered count took place on the night of
Monday, January 22, 2024, while the unsheltered count was conducted from Tuesday, January
23, 2024, to Thursday, January 25, 2024.
According to the latest available data, approximately 88 unsheltered homeless individuals and
335 sheltered homeless individuals are present in Tustin on any given night. This information will
be utilized to ensure that residents have access to fair housing resources and services.
The city is actively engaged in several initiatives to address homelessness, including participation
in the Association of California Cities - Orange County's Homelessness Task Force, the United
to End Homelessness coalition through the Orange County United Way, and collaboration
between the Tustin Police Department, CityNet, the Orange County Health Care Agency (PERT
Mental Health Services), Orange County Rescue Mission, and the Tustin -based nonprofit
Operation Warm Wishes. These efforts are aimed at providing resources and services to the
homeless population in Tustin.
In addition, in March 2019, the City of Tustin opened a new low -barrier temporary homeless
shelter with 77 emergency shelter beds for men, women, and families with children. Operated by
Temporary Shelter, Inc., the facility offers a range of wraparound and supportive services to assist
those in need. This shelter was established to provide unsheltered homeless individuals with ties
to Tustin the opportunity to access a bed and shelter.
During the 2024-25 Program Year, Tustin also opened the House of Ruth, which offers seven
units of emergency and temporary housing for families who are homeless or at risk of
homelessness. The House of Ruth will provide housing navigation services for these families. It
is administered by Family Promise of Orange County.
Throughout the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan cycle, the City of Tustin will continue to support
homeless service providers with CDBG funding, ensuring the availability of emergency and
transitional shelter resources, along with additional services for homeless and at -risk individuals.

Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting
In preparing its Consolidated Plan, the City of Tustin reached out to over 100 agencies, groups,
and organizations that provide housing and supportive housing services to residents within the
City and throughout Orange County. Key components of the development process involved
consultations and collaboration among these groups to ensure the most up-to-date information
was included. A community survey was also designed to gauge the needs and priorities of the
Tustin community. The survey received over 100 responses.
The notification for the first citizen participation meeting was published in the Tustin News on
February 13, 2025. The public participation meeting for the City's Consolidated Plan was held on
February 26, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. at the City Council Chamber, located at 300 Centennial Way,
Tustin, CA 92780.
During the first required public hearing, the Citizen Participation Committee provided feedback on
the draft goals and priority needs for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. Input from the Citizen
Participation Committee included ranking the identified community needs as "high" or "low" and
general feedback on program priorities and goals. Public comments during the meeting included
support for various community needs such as housing/homeless services, and healthcare
services.
The formal public comment period for the draft Consolidated Plan began on March 13, 2025, and
will end on April 14, 2025. Notification of the public comment period was also sent directly to 100
agencies and organizations, as detailed in the attached documentation.
At the close of the public comment period, staff will present the final Consolidated Plan to the
Tustin City Council (anticipated) on April 15, 2025, for approval and direction to submit it to HUD.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview:
This section of the Consolidated Plan outlines the projected housing needs for the City of Tustin
for the five-year period beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2030. The housing data
presented here is based on information pre -determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) in the Plan template within HUD's Integrated Disbursement &
Information System (IDIS). The majority of the data is drawn from the 2016-2020 Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data provided by HUD. Additionally, where available,
updated data from the 2017-2021 and 2018-2022 American Community Survey (ACS) has been
incorporated. Further data has been sourced from the 2021 Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) Regional Housing Needs Assessments (2021 RHNA), and the City of
Tustin's Certified 2021-2029 Housing Element.
This section also reflects consultations with social service agencies to address the housing needs
of specific populations, including children, the elderly, individuals with disabilities, the homeless,
and other groups served by these agencies, as well as input from the citizen participation process.
An analysis of housing needs and related issues, such as substandard housing, overcrowding,
and housing cost burden, will be presented in the Housing Needs Assessment section.
Additionally, the Disproportionately Greater Need section will examine whether certain racial or
ethnic groups experience housing problems at a rate that exceeds 10% compared to the general
income group. The Public Housing section, developed in collaboration with the Orange County
Housing Authority (OCHA), will summarize the needs of public housing residents. The Homeless
Needs Assessment will explore the scope of both unsheltered and sheltered homelessness in
Tustin, while the Non -Homeless Special Needs Assessment will focus on individuals requiring
supportive housing, such as the elderly and persons with disabilities. Lastly, the Non -Housing
Community Development Needs section will discuss the need for public facilities, infrastructure,
public improvements, and other public services.

NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs:
Affordable housing as whole, is a critical need throughout the Orange County region, including
Tustin. The City of Tustin is committed to preserving existing affordable housing resources while
encouraging the development of new affordable housing options. Based on the latest census and
American Community Survey (ACS) data, Tustin is classified as a "high -cost housing" area.
According to the 2017-2021 ACS Five -Year Estimates, Tustin has 13,165 renter -occupied
housing units, which account for 49.6% of all occupied housing units in the City. The ACS data
also reveals that approximately 5,520 (41.9%) of these renter households spend more than 30%
of their income on rent. In comparison, nearly the same number of owner -occupied units exist
(13,395 or 50.4%), with 72.7% of these households paying over 30% of their income toward their
mortgage. The ACS shows a higher proportion of cost -burdened households (those spending
more than 30% of income on housing) than the HUD's 2016-2020 CHAS data, as shown in Table
5.
Very low-income renters are particularly affected by housing challenges. According to the HUD -
provided 2016-2020 CHAS data (Table 4), 73.91 % of renter -occupied households earning less
than 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) face one or more housing problems. The National
Low Income Housing Coalition's 2023 Housing Wage Calculator shows that, in order to afford the
rent for a two -bedroom apartment in Tustin at the fair market rent of $2,539, workers would need
to earn at least $65 per hour, or $135,200 annually. By contrast, a household earning 30% AMI
($44,050 annually) can only afford a rent of $1,101 per month. To afford a two -bedroom apartment
at a fair market rate, it would require 4.1 full-time minimum wage workers.
As of 2020, ACS data shows Tustin's population is approximately 80,800, with about 26,500
households. The Consolidated Plan's online reporting system has compiled data from both the
ACS and CHAS, identifying that approximately 50.7% of families in Tustin are extremely low, low,
or moderate -income and in need of housing assistance. The data also highlights that renters are
more likely than homeowners to experience one or more common housing problems, including
lack of complete kitchen facilities, lack of complete plumbing facilities, overcrowding (more than
one person per room), and cost burdens exceeding 30% of income.
Several factors will influence the level of demand or "need" for housing in Tustin. The key "needs"
categories addressed in the Plan include:
Housing needs arising from one or more identified housing problems, such as lacking
complete kitchen facilities, lacking complete plumbing facilities, overcrowding (more than
one person per room), and a cost burden greater than 30% of income.
Housing needs due to severe housing problems, including lack of complete kitchen or
plumbing facilities, overcrowding (more than 1.5 persons per room, excluding bathrooms,
porches, foyers, halls, or half -rooms), and a cost burden exceeding 50% of income.
Housing needs when households are paying more than they can afford for housing.
Housing needs caused by overcrowding.

The data is displayed by household type, tenancy, and household income expressed as AMI.
Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing
assistance:
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nonfamily households include individuals who live alone
or share their residence with unrelated people. Based on the 2018-2022 American Community
Survey Five -Year Estimates (Table S1101 - Households and Families), the City of Tustin has
7,188 nonfamily households, which represents 21.7% of all households in the city. The at -risk

single -person population in need of housing assistance includes seniors, homeless individuals,
people living in poverty, those with HIV/AIDS, survivors of domestic violence, individuals with
disabilities or mental illness, those facing foreclosure, and people who have recently lost their
jobs.
As the ACS data indicates, nearly 20% of all Tustin households consist of individuals living alone.
Additionally, 73.4% of nonfamily households are single -person households, with 25.3% of these
individuals aged 65 or older. The data from ACS Table B19201 (shown in Exhibit 2 - NA-10)
reveals that nearly 21 % of nonfamily households live in poverty, while almost 50% of nonfamily
households are low-income, earning less than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
Exhibit 1 — NA-10 — Housing Needs Assessment (Nonfamily Households/Female-Headed
Households) provides further details from ACS Table S1101 regarding the information
mentioned in the narrative.
Exhibit 2 — NA-10 — Housing Needs Assessment (Income and Poverty Levels) provides
additional details from ACS Table 1319201 regarding the income and poverty data referenced in
the narrative.
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:
According to ACS Table S1810 — Disability Characteristics from the 2018-2022 American
Community Survey Five -Year Estimates, the estimated population in the City of Tustin with a
disability is 5,827, or 7.3% of the total population. The largest group of individuals with disabilities
are those aged 75 and over, comprising 1,920 people, or 45.3% of this age group. Additionally,
there are 3,290 individuals in Tustin between the ages of 18 and 65 who report having a disability.
Physical and developmental disabilities can limit access to housing units designed for traditional
layouts and may also restrict the ability to earn sufficient income. Special housing needs for
individuals with disabilities include wheelchair accessibility, handrails, and custom construction
for interior living spaces.
Although specific data for Tustin is unavailable, the 2024 Orange County Homeless Census and
Survey indicates that the County has approximately 674 individuals who are homeless and have
experienced domestic violence, 2,044 individuals with a physical disability, and 715 individuals
with a developmental disability, all of whom may require housing assistance.

What are the most common housing problems?
The most prevalent housing issue in Tustin is the cost burden of owning or renting a home.
According to HUD standards, families who spend more than 30% of their gross income on housing
are considered cost burdened. As detailed in Tables 5 and 6, 2,225 owner -occupied households
(8.4% of all households) pay more than 30% of their income toward housing costs, and 880
owner -occupied households (3.32% of all households) pay more than 50% of their income toward
housing costs, which represents 47.78% of all households in Tustin. Homeowners with incomes
between 51-80% of AMI (900 households) are most impacted by the 30% cost burden, accounting
for 40.45% of those paying more than 30% of their income on housing. Additionally, homeowners
with incomes between 0-30% of AMI experience the highest cost burden, with 46.6% of those
paying more than 50% of their income on housing falling into this income category.
Renter -occupied households face similar cost burdens. A total of 6,935 renter -occupied
households (26.2% of all households) spend more than 30% of their income on housing, and
2,625 renter -occupied households (9.9% of all households) pay more than 50% of their income
on housing expenses, which represents 36.1 % of Tustin's total households. Renters with incomes
below 30% AMI (1,035 households) and those with incomes between 50-80% AMI (1,000
households) are most affected, with 77.52% of cost -burdened renters in these income categories
spending more than 50% of their income on housing.
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these
problems?
As shown in Table 5, small, related renter households make up the largest group of individuals
facing cost burdens in both the >30% and >50% cost burden categories. A total of 3,455 small,
related renter households are experiencing cost burdens, representing 27.28% of all cost -
burdened households. The next largest group is elderly renters, with 2,830 elderly renter
households facing cost burdens, accounting for 22.35% of all cost -burdened households.

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 presents data from the 2016-2020 CHAS, 15,380 households in
Tustin, or 58.03% of all households, have children. Of these, the majority (12,295 households, or
79.94%) are small families. Among families with children, 44.6% are low-income, and 9.43% are
extremely low-income. While most low-income households are currently housed, they face a
precarious situation, especially those who are overpaying for housing amid the current market
conditions, putting them at risk of homelessness.
Although there is no specific data available for transitional housing in Tustin, the 2024 Point in
Time (PIT) Count reports that 3,149 individuals, or 43.01 % of the homeless population in Orange
County, are sheltered through transitional housing, rapid re -housing, or similar programs. In
Tustin, transitional housing services are provided by Families Forward, Human Options, and the
Orange County Rescue Mission -Village of Hope. Families nearing the end of their assistance at
the Village of Hope may require affordable housing, childcare, or additional supportive services
for families and children. The City of Tustin addresses these needs through the Orange County
Housing Authority, specialized programming for youth and children, and referral services provided
by 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 collect specific data on the number of at -risk individuals within the
City; however, it acknowledges that various factors can define the at -risk population. These
factors include, but are not limited to, housing instability caused by economic hardship, domestic
violence, and being a female -headed household. The City is committed to supporting the at -risk
population by providing services through existing City programs, as well as offering CDBG funding
to public service agencies that assist these individuals.

Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and
an increased risk of homelessness:
The lack of affordable housing for lower -income households is closely linked to housing instability
and an increased risk of homelessness. Both owner -occupied and renter -occupied households
facing cost burdens —spending more than 30% and 50% of their income on housing —are
vulnerable to instability and homelessness.
Other factors contributing to housing instability and homelessness risk include prolonged
unemployment, foreclosure, mental illness, domestic violence, substance abuse (drugs and/or
alcohol), unexpected medical expenses, disabilities, and the transition from institutions such as
jail, mental health facilities, or skilled nursing care centers. Emergency or unforeseen expenses
can also lead to housing instability.
The City of Tustin collaborates with various programs and agencies to address these issues and
reduce the risk of instability. Tustin participates in the County of Orange's Continuum of Care
process and the Association of California Cities — Orange County's Homelessness Task Force,
which helps the City stay informed about regional homeless shelter and service needs.
Additionally, through its partnership with the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA), Tustin
renters have access to OCHA's Family Self -Sufficiency Program. This program prioritizes families
with children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness (those paying over 50% of their
household income in rent). Beyond housing assistance, the program offers support services,
including job training and employment opportunities, to help participants achieve economic
independence.

Discussion:
Housing challenges continue to impact residents of Tustin, with the most significant issue being
the high cost of housing. To address this, the City of Tustin collaborates with the Orange County
Housing Authority, private developers, nonprofit developers, agencies like Neighborhood
Partnership Housing Services, and other government entities such as the State of California
Department of Housing and Community Development. These partnerships work to provide
resources that help make housing more affordable. The City is also proactive in seeking funding
opportunities to develop additional affordable rental housing.
Furthermore, Tustin has a certified 2021-2029 Housing Element and has taken specific actions
to align with the goals outlined in the certified Housing Element. These efforts include rezoning
and various City Code Amendments aimed at increasing affordable housing opportunities and
meeting the City's obligations under the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).
However, limited funding for these activities makes the development of affordable housing
challenging. With the changing landscape of available funds, the City is constantly exploring new
partnerships with public and private sector agencies to find innovative solutions to affordable
housing development.
The City of Tustin is committed to addressing the housing needs of extremely low, very low-, and
low-income families. The strategic plan and goals in this five-year Consolidated Plan are designed
to meet these needs. The goals for this cycle include addressing homelessness, providing
supportive services, and offering housing assistance. Additionally, families in need of further
supportive services will be assisted through public service goals, such as youth programs, senior
programs, healthcare services, veterans' services, and homelessness prevention.

NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems — 91.205 (b)(2)
Introduction:
The Consolidated Plan must identify the specific needs of any racial or ethnic group that faces a
disproportionately greater need, meaning they experience one or more housing problems at a
higher rate than other groups within the same income category. According to HUD, "A
disproportionately greater need exists when members of a racial or ethnic group at a given income
level experience a housing problem at a rate that is at least 10 percentage points higher than the
income level as a whole." For example, if 60% of all low-income households in a jurisdiction face
housing problems, but 71 % of low-income Hispanic households face housing problems, then low-
income Hispanic households have a disproportionately greater need.
Housing problems include lacking complete kitchen or plumbing facilities, overcrowding (more
than 1.5 persons per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half -rooms), and cost
burdens greater than 30%.
Tables 9 through 12 provide data on the needs of racial or ethnic groups across the following
income categories:
Extremely Low -Income (0-30% AMI)
Very Low -Income (30-50% AMI)
Low -Income (50-80% AMI)
Moderate -Income (80-100% AMI)

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 must also identify the specific needs of any racial or ethnic group that
experiences a disproportionately greater incidence of severe housing problems, compared to
others within each specific income category. Severe housing problems include: lacking complete
kitchen facilities; lacking complete plumbing facilities; overcrowding (more than 1.5 persons per
room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half -rooms); and a cost burden greater than
50%. A disproportionately greater need exists when members of a racial or ethnic group at a given
income level experience severe housing problems at a rate that exceeds the overall rate for that
income level by 10 percentage points or more.
This section will examine data related to households experiencing severe housing problems at a
significantly higher rate. These problems include lacking complete kitchen or plumbing facilities,
overcrowding, and a severe cost burden exceeding 50%.
Tables 13 through 16 provide data on the needs of racial or ethnic groups across four income
categories:
Extremely Low -Income 0-30% AMI
Low -Income 30-50% AMI
» Moderate -Income 50-80% AMI

NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens — 91.205 (b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has a disproportionately greater need in comparison to
the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction:
The Consolidated Plan further explores the concept of disproportionately greater need in relation
to Housing Cost Burden. According to HUD, a disproportionately greater housing cost burden
occurs when members of a racial or ethnic group at a specific income level experience a housing
cost burden at a rate 10% higher than the income level as a whole.
Table 17 provides data on housing cost burdens in the City of Tustin, broken down by racial and
ethnic categories. As defined by HUD, households with less than 30% of their income spent on
housing are not considered cost -burdened. Households that spend between 30-50% of their
income on housing -related costs are classified as cost -burdened. Those with a housing cost -to -
income ratio greater than 50%, meaning they spend more than 50% of their income on housing -
related expenses, are considered severely cost -burdened. Households with no or negative
income (not included in Table 17) are those with income of $0 or negative due to factors such as
self-employment, dividends, and net rental income. If these households incur housing costs, their
cost burden would be 100%.
Households paying more than 30% of their income on housing -related costs typically have less
remaining income for other essentials like food, clothing, and healthcare. Higher -income
households are generally better able to afford a larger portion of their income for housing, so
estimates of housing overpayment mainly focus on lower -income groups. A detailed analysis of
Table 17 follows, focusing on racial or ethnic groups that display a disproportionately greater need
for housing assistance.

Discussion:
[Exhibit 5 — NA-25 — Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens provides expanded details
regarding the calculations stated in the following narrative.]
Based on the data presented in Table 17, a total of 26,325 households across all income groups
were surveyed to assess the extent to which low- to moderate -income households' experience
housing cost burdens. The findings reveal that the majority of Tustin households, 58.46%, are not
cost -burdened, meaning they pay less than 30% of their monthly income on housing expenses.
However, among those experiencing a housing cost burden (paying more than 30% of their
income for housing), a disproportionately greater burden is observed among White and Hispanic
households. Nearly 13% of White households and just over 17% of Hispanic households face a
greater housing cost burden compared to other racial/ethnic groups in the City. Additionally, these
two racial/ethnic groups also experience a disproportionately greater severe housing cost burden
(paying more than 50% of their income for housing expenses) than any other groups in Tustin.

Housing Cost Burden
In the City of Tustin, the majority of the population does not experience a housing cost burden,
with 58.08% of households spending less than 30% of their income on housing -related costs. A
smaller portion of the population, 22.21 %, is considered cost -burdened, paying between 30% and
50% of their income on housing. Among these cost -burdened households, the American
Indian/Alaska Native group has a disproportionately greater need, with 77.78% of individuals in
this group facing housing cost burdens.
Further data from Table 17 shows that 19.06% of the population is severely cost -burdened, paying
more than 50% of their household income on housing. Within this category, the Pacific Islander
population has a disproportionately greater need, with 91.84% of individuals in this group
experiencing severe cost burdens. It is important to note that both the American Indian/Alaska
Native and Pacific Islander populations represent less than half of a percent of the overall sample,
at 0.17% and 0.48%, respectively.

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment — 91.205(c)
Introduction:
To address the regional needs of homeless individuals and families, the City of Tustin actively
participates in the Continuum of Care (CoC) program, sponsored by the County of Orange. The
goal of the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs is to fund projects that fill gaps in
locally developed systems, helping homeless individuals transition to self-sufficiency and
permanent housing. The key objective of these efforts is to fund projects aligned with the
Department's mission to end chronic homelessness.
Orange County's Point -in -Time (PIT) Count, known as Everyone Counts OC, plays a crucial role
in establishing a baseline for the County's efforts in building a comprehensive, responsive System
of Care for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The 2024 PIT Count, conducted
by the County and the Orange County Continuum of Care, took place during the week of January
22, 2024, as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) every
two years. The sheltered count occurred on the night of January 22, 2024, while the unsheltered
count took place from January 23 through 25, 2024.
The County's 2024 PIT Count follows HUD guidelines, collecting key data on chronic
homelessness, disabling conditions, demographics (including single adults, families, veterans,
survivors of domestic violence, and youth), and specific subpopulations. The methodology used
for the unsheltered count remains consistent with previous PIT Counts in 2019 and 2022, allowing
for comparisons across the three counts. Volunteers canvassed the entire county using ArcGIS
maps and a mobile survey application to identify people experiencing unsheltered homelessness.
The survey, which includes HUD -required questions as well as additional demographics, helps
the County gain a deeper understanding of homelessness in Orange County. Once the data is
collected, the County's Office of Care Coordination (OCC), in partnership with City Net and Hub
for Urban Initiatives, reviews and addresses any discrepancies to ensure the accuracy of the final
count. The survey results are then compiled and analyzed for the PIT Count summary.
According to the most recent data from the Point -in -Time (PIT) Count, 423 homeless individuals
were identified in Tustin, with 88 (20.8%) being unsheltered and 335 (79.2%) sheltered. While the
2024 PIT Count has limited data for Tustin, it provides data for broader subareas, including the
Central Service Planning Area, of which Tustin is a part. Table 21 outlines the 2024 PIT
Count data for both the entire County and the Central Service Planning Area, where applicable.
This data will be used to ensure residents have access to fair housing resources and services.
The City is also involved in additional efforts to combat homelessness, including its participation
in the Association of California Cities - Orange County's Homelessness Task Force and the United
to End Homelessness coalition through Orange County United Way. Additionally, the City
collaborates with the Tustin Police Department, CityNet, the Orange County Health Care Agency
(PERT Mental Health Services), the Orange County Rescue Mission, and the Tustin -based
nonprofit Operation Warm Wishes to provide essential resources and services to the transient
homeless population in Tustin.

The City of Tustin provides support to various special -needs groups, including the elderly and frail
elderly, through its Senior Center. The Center offers a wide range of services such as
transportation, case management, information and referrals, a shared housing program, senior
activities, health and fitness programs, and other recreational activities to help meet the needs of
this population.
Additionally, the City allocates CDBG funds to Meals on Wheels Orange County, which provides
meal services to homebound elderly individuals, ensuring they receive proper nutrition and
support. The City also continues to refer individuals with special needs —such as those with
disabilities (mental, physical, and developmental), alcohol or drug dependencies, and those with
HIV/AIDS—to appropriate agencies for specialized care and assistance.

Discussion:
The City of Tustin acknowledges that homelessness is a regional issue that requires a collective
approach from all jurisdictions, regardless of individual circumstances. As part of its efforts to
address homelessness, the City highlights the Homeless Accommodation Plan, established for
the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan area (formerly the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan area). This plan
provides essential supportive housing and services to help homeless individuals and families
transition from homelessness to greater self-sufficiency. The plan includes 387 beds at the Village
of Hope facility, an increase of 195 beds, which supports the goal of moving homeless individuals
and families to permanent housing within 24 months. The facility also offers supportive services
designed to address the unique needs of homeless persons.
Additional homeless service providers operating in the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan area include
the Orange County Social Services Tustin Family Campus, Salvation Army, Orange Coast
Interfaith, Families Forward, Human Options, and Temporary Shelter, Inc.
In addition, during the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan Cycle, the City will continue to operate a
newly opened low -barrier temporary homeless shelter, which provides 77 emergency shelter beds
for men, women, and families with children. This facility, operated by Temporary Shelter, Inc.,
includes a variety of wrap -around and supportive services to assist individuals and families in
need. The shelter is designed to ensure that unsheltered individuals with ties to Tustin have
access to a safe and supportive environment.
The City of Tustin, in partnership with the Orange County Rescue Mission, has also executed a
ground lease for the construction/rehabilitation of a 5.1-acre site to establish a 192-unit
emergency and transitional housing project at the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan area. This project
repurposes former military barracks, now equipped with private bathrooms and kitchenettes.
Additionally, the Village of Hope has expanded its transitional housing capacity to 387 units, an
increase of 195 units, and is currently operational.
Further efforts to expand transitional housing in Tustin are demonstrated by the recent opening
of the "House of Ruth" project. In partnership with Home Aid Orange County and Family Promise
of Orange County, this project includes a new seven -unit facility and family resource center aimed
at providing housing and support services to families with children who are experiencing
homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
To address both emergency shelter and transitional housing needs, the City will continue to
prioritize allocating CDBG funds to homeless service agencies. Furthermore, the City will maintain
its involvement in the County of Orange's Continuum of Care program, which provides supportive
services and housing for the homeless and at -risk populations. The City will also continue its
strategy of referring homeless individuals and families to appropriate service agencies and
organizations and will continue to support these agencies through financial contributions for
shelter and other services for the homeless.

NA-45 Non -Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d)
Introduction:
Certain segments of the population may face greater challenges in finding decent and affordable
housing due to unique circumstances and may require specific accommodation or assistance to
meet their housing needs. Special needs groups include the elderly, individuals with disabilities
(including those with developmental disabilities), female -headed households, and large families.
The City of Tustin acknowledges the needs of these populations and has established goals and
priorities to address them effectively.
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
The special needs of many elderly household's stem from their lower, fixed incomes, physical
disabilities, and the need for assistance. According to 2022 ACS data, 15.14% of the City of
Tustin's population is aged 65 or older, which may require specific accommodations or assistance
to meet their housing needs.
Physical and developmental disabilities can limit access to housing units designed in traditional
ways and may also affect the ability to earn sufficient income. As per 2022 ACS data, 8.75% of
Tustin residents between 18 and 65 years old reported having a disability. Additionally, about
31.28% of Tustin residents over 65 years old reported a disability. The U.S. Census Bureau does
not collect specific data on individuals with developmental disabilities.
Female -headed households often experience lower incomes and face special needs, which limits
housing availability for this group. According to 2023 ACS data, there are 1,229 female -headed
households in Tustin with children under the age of 18.
According to Census Bureau guidelines, a family household with five or more persons is
considered a large family. In Tustin, 3,852 households (approximately 15% of the city's families)
fall into this category, based on 2023 ACS data.
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 a significant concern for the City of Tustin. Many
retired individuals are on fixed, low incomes, which puts them at greater risk of housing
overpayment. Additionally, the elderly often have specific needs related to housing construction
and location. To enhance accessibility and mobility, elderly individuals may require modifications
such as ramps, handrails, and lower cupboards and counters. In terms of location, due to limited
mobility, they also need easy access to public facilities, such as medical services, shopping areas,
and public transit.
For persons with disabilities, access and affordability are the two primary housing concerns.
Access is particularly critical for those who are physically disabled, as they often need specially
designed housing that includes features like lowered countertops, wider doorways, and modified

51
Docusign Envelope ID: 22B5F71A-416D-49BF-BDDC-360ED355817B
bathrooms, as well as accessible paths to and from the property. A significant challenge for many
individuals in this demographic is that they are often on fixed, lower incomes and may depend on
federal or state aid, further complicating their ability to secure affordable housing.
Female -headed households with children primarily face affordability challenges, as they tend to
have lower -than -average incomes. These households also have a significant need for affordable
childcare. As a result, finding suitable housing near essential services, schools, and public
transportation becomes difficult due to financial constraints.
Large family households require special consideration because they typically need larger homes
with enough bedrooms to prevent overcrowding. However, there is a limited availability of 3+
bedroom apartment units in Tustin to meet the needs of large families. Additionally, households
with five or more members are more likely to be below the national poverty level, which makes it
challenging to find adequate housing. Renters face even more difficulty since multifamily rental
units tend to be smaller than single-family homes. As a result, large families often experience both
overcrowding and affordability issues disproportionately.
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 large population of residents living with HIV/AIDS (Persons
Living with HIV (PLWH); however, the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) oversees
support for individuals in Tustin who may be affected by HIV/AIDS. The OCHCA has released its
2022-2026 Integrated HIV Prevention and Care Plan, which outlines the current state of HIV
services in the county and sets goals and strategies for addressing the epidemic moving forward.
This plan focuses on the HIV Care Continuum, particularly for those at high risk of contracting
HIV, and aligns with the objectives outlined in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for 2022-2025. The
key goals of the plan are: 1) to reduce new HIV infections; 2) to increase access to care and
improve health outcomes for people living with HIV; and 3) to reduce HIV -related disparities and
health inequities. According to the report, in 2021, there were 6,770 individuals diagnosed with
HIV, including 274 new cases across the county. Demographic data for the newly diagnosed
cases is presented on the following page.

Discussion:
The City of Tustin is committed to addressing the needs of its non -homeless special needs
population. The City enhances coordination with the public and assisted housing providers, as
well as private and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies. This is
accomplished through developing strong working relationships with these organizations,
gathering input through public participation processes, and seeking professional advice and
recommendations.
The City also collaborates with County and State offices by making necessary referrals,
particularly for housing in residential care facilities with six or fewer residents, in compliance with
State regulations. Additionally, the City keeps an up-to-date listing of the County and State's
licensed facilities that offer supportive housing, regularly receiving updates from the State's
Community Care Licensing - Residential Division Office in Santa Ana. Referrals are also made to
the Orange County Public Housing Authority for low-income individuals with special needs who
seek affordable housing options.

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:
The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan cycle encourages prioritizing construction of new park facilities
and improvements to existing parks, benefiting all Tustin residents Citywide. Tustin's parks are
widely used by youth for sports and recreational activities, making it a priority to ensure these
facilities are safe and well -maintained. Additionally, there is a focus on adding new park amenities
to address the increasing demand due to the development of residential communities in the Tustin
Legacy Area. It is important to note that CDBG funding will only be allocated for facilities and
improvements within the CDBG Low/Moderate Income Census Tract Target Area (Appendix C).
General Public Facilities Needs:
The plan includes prioritizing various public facility improvement needs across Tustin, such as
street repairs, sidewalk repairs, storm drain upgrades, public facility enhancements, lighting
improvements, and more. Similar to park improvements, CDBG funding will be exclusively used
for public facility upgrades 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
facilities in need of repair within the CDBG Low/Moderate Income Target Area.
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.
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 including:
Youth Services
This priority involves providing Tustin youth with services such as after -school programs and
healthcare services. The City intends 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 include 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.
Homeless Needs and Supportive Services

Addressing the needs of the homeless includes providing transitional and emergency housing
and allocating CDBG funds to public service agencies who provide additional supportive services
to the at -risk and veteran homeless population.
General Public Service Needs
General public service needs include services to Tustin youth, seniors, low/moderate income
Tustin 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.

NA-15 — Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems
(Detailed Calculations)
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 housing problems, in comparison to others in each specific income
category as a whole. According to HUD, "A disproportionately greater need exists when the members of a racial or
ethnic group at a given income level experience a housing problem at a greater rate (10% points or more) than the
income level as a whole." For example, if 60% of all low-income households within a jurisdiction have a housing
problem, and 71% of low-income Hispanic households have a housing problem, low-income Hispanic have a
disproportionately greater need.
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 30 percent.
Tables 9 through 12 provide data on the needs of racial or ethnic groups across all four income groups:
• Extremely Low -Income 0-30% AMI
• Very Low -Income >30-50% AMI
• Low -Income >50-80% AMI
• Moderate -Income >80-100% AMI

disproportionately greater need, experiencing one or more of the severe housing problems, in comparison
to others in each specific income category as a whole. According to HUD, "A disproportionately greater
need exists when the members of a racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience a housing
problem at a greater rate (10% points or more) than the income level as a whole." For example, if 60% of
all low-income households within a jurisdiction have a severe housing problem, and 71% of low-income
Hispanic households have a housing problem, low-income Hispanic have a disproportionately greater
need because this group is 11% points higher than all other ethnic groups.
This section will review data related to households who are experiencing one of four severe housing
problems at a significantly higher level. 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 severe cost burden greater than 50 percent.
Tables 13 through 16 on the following pages provide detailed data calculations on the needs of racial or
ethnic groups across all four income groups:
• Extremely Low -Income 0-30% AMI
• Low -Income >30-50% AMI
• Moderate -Income >50-80% AMI
• Middle -Income >80-100% AMI

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units
assisted with federal, state, and local programs:
The City of Tustin provides housing assistance to extremely low, very low, and low-income single
individuals and families. According to the City's AB 987 data, 124 families are currently receiving
support through low-income housing funds. As of December 31, 2023, there are 279 units that
contribute to inclusionary or replacement housing requirements. Additionally, Tustin offers 1,528
rental units for very low- and low-income residents, and 5,715 units are available for moderate -
income households.
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing
inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts:
During the 2021-2029 Housing Element planning cycle, three (3) projects have been identified as
at risk of expiring: Chatham Village (12/31/2027), Westchester Park (10/1/2029), and Flanders
Pointe (12/31/2029). The Housing Authority will continue to monitor these units. 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.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population?
While data from the American Community Survey and other sources provides valuable insights,
the dynamic needs, preferences, and circumstances of individuals within family units make it
difficult to create a precise formula for determining the exact number of households requiring
assistance. Some may need rental subsidies, while others may require larger units. For the
purposes of this assessment, unmet needs were estimated by identifying households that spend
more than 30% of their gross monthly income on housing expenses, referred to as "cost -
burdened" households. It is important to note that the City does not aim to assist only those
households experiencing a cost burden.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
The City of Tustin recognizes the ongoing need to provide adequate affordable housing for special
needs groups, including the elderly, disabled individuals, those with developmental disabilities,
female -headed households, large families, the homeless, and veterans.
Discussion:
The City of Tustin is committed to maintaining and preserving its housing stock to prevent
unhealthy living conditions, avoid costly future rehabilitation, stop neighborhood deterioration, and
foster community pride. The City enforces codes and offers incentives to encourage proper

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a)
Introduction:
Following county and statewide trends, the cost of housing in the City of Tustin has risen
significantly over the past five years. Data from HUD, as shown in Tables 3 and 4, illustrates the
increase in housing costs for both owners and renters between 2009 and 2020. Both tables
indicate a rise in housing costs for both owner -occupied and renter -occupied households.
Table 5 of the Needs Assessment reveals that 6,935 renter -occupied households (26.2% of total
households) and 2,225 owner -occupied households (8.4% of total households) spend more than
30% of their income on housing costs, putting them at high risk for homelessness and other
economic challenges. According to the 2023 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates, the
median gross rent for renter -occupied households in Tustin is $2,615, and 61.8% of these
households spend over 30% of their monthly income on housing.
HUD data in Table 3 shows that the median home value in Tustin increased by 35% from 2009
to 2020, reaching $693,000. Since 2020, home prices have surged dramatically, driven in part by
pandemic -related financial stabilization measures, including extremely low mortgage rates of 2%
to 3%. These low rates spurred high demand, leading to a significant rise in home values.
According to Zillow, the average home value in Tustin for 2024 is $1,132,048, reflecting an 11.6%
increase from 2023 and a 39% increase since 2020. Additionally, the 2023 American Community
Survey 1-Year Estimates show that the median monthly cost of owning a home in Tustin is $3,277,
with a median mortgage of $939,300. Approximately 40.7% of Tustin homeowners spend more
than 30% of their monthly income on housing costs.
Data from HUD in Table 3 reveals that median contract rents increased by 27%, from $1,424 to
$1,806, between 2009 and 2020. More recently, the 2023 ACS 1-Year Estimates show the
median rent has risen to $2,615, a $809 increase, or a 45% jump, since 2020. Furthermore, Table
4 shows that nearly 34% of all renters in Tustin pay more than $2,000 per month in rent.
Table 6 compares the 2024 Fair Market Rent (FMR) for Orange County, as published by HUD,
with the median rent data from the 2016-2020 ACS. It illustrates a continued upward trend in
rents, with increases of at least 7% for all bedroom sizes between 2020 and 2024 compared to
2016-2020 ACS median rent.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels?
According to Table 5, the majority of rental housing in Tustin is affordable to individuals with low-
income levels, based on 2016-2020 CHAS data. Many of the units accessible to the extremely
low (0%-30% HAMFI*), very low (30%-50% HAMFI), and low (50%-80% HAMFI) income
populations are rental units. As a result, fewer ownership units are available to these income
groups, with most of the available ownership housing being accessible to those at the 80%-100%
HAMFI income level. The very low- and low-income populations are similar in size, but both face
limited housing options. Additionally, no data was available on the number of units for purchase
by 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 information from the California Association of Realtors,
housing market trends indicate that housing affordability will continue to decline as home values
and rents rise.
The distinction between renter and owner housing affordability is important because, while
homeowners may stretch their finances to afford a home purchase, they always have the option
to sell, which can help reduce housing costs. Additionally, homeownership offers tax benefits that
can lower monthly expenses. In contrast, renters are limited to the rental market and are generally
required to pay the prevailing market rent, with fewer options for reducing their housing costs.
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 have HOME funding; however, the median rent rates remain below
the fair market rent for all unit types. The City is committed to preserving the existing affordable
housing options available to its residents.
Discussion:
The demand for affordable housing continues to increase, with most residents in the City of Tustin
facing a housing cost burden due to the current average housing costs. The City of Tustin
prioritizes the creation and preservation of affordable housing opportunities for both renters and
homeowners. The City is actively pursuing additional funding opportunities to leverage federal
resources for the development and maintenance of affordable housing, while also fostering strong
relationships with both for -profit and nonprofit developers.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing — 91.210(a)
Introduction:
The housing stock in Tustin is gradually aging, with over 46% of all owner -occupied and renter -
occupied homes being over 45 years old. As the housing stock continues to age, the percentage
of units in poor condition will increase unless proper maintenance and rehabilitation are carried
out. This is particularly common in lower -income areas where funds for repairs are often
unavailable. Every resident of Tustin deserves suitable and affordable living conditions, but home
repairs can become costly.
Approximately 42% of all occupied housing units in Tustin have at least one selected condition.
For this section, selected conditions include lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, having
more than one person per room, and experiencing a cost burden greater than 30%. According to
the 2022 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, very few occupied units (1.61 %, or 426
units) lack complete plumbing or kitchen facilities.
As shown in Table 8, 50% of Tustin's housing stock was built before 1979. Of these units, 47%
are owner -occupied, and 54% are renter -occupied. According to the 2022 ACS data, just over
10% of owner -occupied units and 16% of renter -occupied units have children under 6 years old.
These households represent those at risk of lead -based hazards in Tustin's housing stock.
Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard
condition but suitable for rehabilitation":
Definitions
Standard Condition: A standard unit would be a unit that meets state and local housing and
building codes.
Substandard Suitable for Substantial Rehabilitation: Units with conditions that are found to
be substandard but suitable for substantial rehabilitation are those units where the cost of the
improvement to bring it up to all local, state and federal codes does not exceed 50% of the value
of the unit inclusive of the land value.

Owned) status, with an additional 509 properties in distress, meaning they are in foreclosure
and/or delinquent on property taxes.
Describe the need for owner and rental rehabilitation based on the condition of the
jurisdiction's housing.
Given the age of the City's housing stock, with 46% of units over 45 years old, it is anticipated
that a significant number of units will require repairs and/or rehabilitation, particularly for major
housing systems such as roofs, heating and air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical. These
critical components typically have a life expectancy of 15 to 30 years and will soon need to be
replaced. The Community Assessment Survey identified programs that assist low- and moderate -
income renters and homeowners with new affordable units, down -payment assistance and energy
efficiency improvements as the highest priority.
In 2024, the City launched its CDBG-funded housing rehabilitation program. In partnership with
Habitat for Humanity, the City implements the Home Repair Program, which provides grants of
up to $15,000 to low-income seniors (62 years and older), veterans, or disabled households for
essential home repairs. The focus of the program is to improve the health and safety of homes,
addressing repairs to plumbing, electrical, roofing, kitchen facilities, and alleviating overcrowding.
The City will continue to operate the Home Repair Program throughout the 2021-2029 Housing
Element Planning Cycle.
Estimate the number of housing units within the jurisdiction that are occupied by
low or moderate income families that contain lead -based paint hazards. 91.205(e),
91.405
Lead -based paint hazards refer to any condition that causes exposure to lead from lead -based
paint dust, contaminated soil, or deteriorated lead -based paint found on accessible surfaces,
friction surfaces, or impact surfaces. These hazards can lead to adverse health effects,
particularly for children. Lead poisoning remains one of the most common and preventable health
risks for children in the United States. Even low levels of lead in a child's blood can cause harmful
effects on their physical and developmental health. Children are more vulnerable because their
growing bodies absorb more lead, and they frequently put their hands and objects in their mouths.
Additionally, their brains and nervous systems are more sensitive to lead's damaging effects.
Residents living in housing built before 1978 are considered at risk of exposure to lead -based
paint. Older homes are more likely to contain lead -based paint, with the amount of lead pigment
increasing as the age of the housing rises. As mentioned earlier, 50% of Tustin's occupied
housing stock was built before 1980 and may contain lead -based paint. To address this, the City's
Home Repair Program will follow federal guidelines for handling lead -based paint.
According to the 2022 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates (Table S1702), 8.1% of
Tustin's families live below the poverty level. Assuming these families reside in older areas of the
City, it can be estimated that around 1,080 housing units occupied by low- or moderate -income
families may be at risk of lead -based paint exposure. Additionally, 10.5% of families living in
poverty have children under five years old, which suggests that approximately 113 units may
present a higher risk for lead -based paint hazards. This analysis does not account for the likely

presence of a larger population of households with incomes above the poverty level but below
low- and moderate -income thresholds living in older units, which could significantly increase the
estimated number of units at risk.
Discussion:
Although around 81 % of Tustin's housing was built 25 years ago or earlier, the overall condition
of the housing remains generally good. According to the City's Code Enforcement team and the
Neighborhood Improvement Task Force —comprised of staff from various City departments —
roughly 15% of the housing stock requires minor repairs. About 5% of the housing units,
particularly four-plexes in the southwest neighborhood (CDBG Low/Mod Census Tract Target
Area), may need significant rehabilitation. Code Enforcement estimates that around 200 illegal
units or conversions exist citywide, which would need to either meet City Code standards or be
demolished. To date, no housing units have been identified as requiring replacement. The City of
Tustin actively addresses housing conditions through its Code Enforcement program and the
Neighborhood Improvement Task Force, which together help identify homes in need of repair and
provide the necessary assistance to keep the housing stock in good condition.
To tackle the need for rehabilitating Tustin's aging housing stock, the city has established the
Home Repair Program. This program offers $15,000 grants to low-income seniors (aged 62 and
older), veterans, and disabled households for health and safety improvements, helping to
preserve their homes and ensure they remain safe, decent, and sound. The program covers
repairs such as roof replacement, plumbing, windows, electrical systems, and exterior painting.
Homeowners are referred to the program in collaboration with Code Enforcement.

Describe mainstream services, such as health, mental health, and employment
services to the extent those services are use to complement services targeted to
homeless persons:
To complement Tustin's homeless services, the State Department of Developmental Services
(DDS) provides community -based support to approximately 400,000 individuals with
developmental disabilities and their families through a network of 21 regional centers, four
developmental centers, and two community -based facilities. The Regional Center of Orange
County (RCOC) is one of these 21 regional centers in California, serving as a point of entry for
services for individuals with developmental disabilities. RCOC is a private, non-profit community
agency that partners with local businesses to offer a wide variety of services to individuals with
developmental disabilities and their families.
List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons,
particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children,
veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities
are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special
Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically
address the needs of these populations:
As previously mentioned, the City of Tustin participates in the County of Orange's full -service
continuum of care, which addresses homelessness at every stage. Additionally, Tustin hosts
various non-profit organizations that provide direct housing and support services to homeless
individuals. These services include emergency shelters, transitional housing, temporary housing
for teenagers in crisis, veteran support, and housing specifically for veterans and their families.
Several local churches in Tustin also offer food and other assistance to the homeless.
The largest provider of emergency shelter beds in Tustin is the Tustin Temporary Emergency
Shelter, which offers 77 beds for men, women, and families with children. Operated by Temporary
Shelter, Inc., this facility provides a variety of wrap -around and supportive services on -site. It has
been established to ensure that homeless individuals with ties to Tustin can access a bed and
shelter.
The largest provider of transitional housing beds in Tustin is the Orange County Rescue Mission's
Village of Hope, which offers 262 beds. Additionally, the Village of Hope provides 26 units of
transitional housing specifically for veterans through a partnership with the City of Tustin.
Laurel House offers temporary housing for up to six homeless and runaway youth in crisis,
providing a home -like environment. The facility also offers food, informal counseling, medical
care, and clothing. The young people served are primarily Tustin residents and students of the
Tustin Unified School District.
Olive Crest provides shelter and counseling for teenagers transitioning out of the foster care
system into independent living. They offer life skills training, such as budgeting, job search
techniques, and interview skills, to help these young adults succeed in their independent lives.

Additionally, Habitat for Humanity has constructed two affordable housing units specifically for
veterans and their families.
Several local churches in Tustin, including St. Cecilia's, Tustin Presbyterian Church, and
Aldersgate United Methodist Church, also provide services for the homeless and low-income
families.
Numerous other agencies provide shelter and services to homeless individuals in Tustin as well
as surrounding cities such as Santa Ana, Irvine, and Orange. The City of Tustin refers individuals
to these agencies, including CityNet, Human Options, Mercy House, Families Forward, OC
Gateway to Housing, and Family Promise of Orange County, among others. The Orange County
Homeless Issues Task Force, a non-profit advocacy organization, maintains a list of these and
other services available in Orange County.
The City of Tustin actively assists the unsheltered homeless population through a collaborative
effort involving the Tustin Police Department, CityNet, Orange County Health Care Agency (PERT
Mental Health Services), Orange County Rescue Mission, and the Tustin -based non-profit
Operation Warm Wishes. This collaboration provides resources and services to homeless
individuals in Tustin.

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services — 91.210(d)
Introduction:
Certain segments of the population may face greater challenges in finding decent, affordable
housing due to their unique circumstances and special needs. This includes the elderly and frail
elderly, individuals with mental, physical, or developmental disabilities, those struggling with
alcohol or drug addiction, persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families, as well as victims of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. These groups may require
specific housing modifications or support services to meet their needs.
While these non -homeless special needs populations are not automatically at risk of
homelessness, without adequate supportive housing and services, they are more likely to remain
in poverty and may eventually face homelessness or institutionalization. In preparing the
Consolidated Plan, Tustin addresses the needs of these special populations and evaluates the
suitability of the housing stock to accommodate their requirements, as outlined 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, the City of Tustin has a total of 325 senior housing units, many of which are affordable,
as well as 24 assisted living facilities. The affordable senior housing units include 99 units at
Tustin Gardens, which are restricted to seniors, a 20-unit project at Tustin Terrace for seniors with
limited incomes, 53 units at Heritage Place, and 153 units at Coventry Court, available to very
low-income (36 units), low-income (61 units), and moderate -income (56 units) seniors.
The special housing needs of the elderly are a significant concern for Tustin, especially since
many retired individuals live on fixed, low incomes, making them more vulnerable to housing cost
burdens. Additionally, elderly residents often require housing modifications to accommodate
mobility and accessibility needs, such as ramps, handrails, and lower cupboards and counters. In
terms of location, seniors typically need easy access to public services like medical care,
shopping, and public transportation due to limited mobility. Two facilities catering to elderly
residents with specialized needs include Silverado Tustin Hacienda Memory Care Community
and The Groves of Tustin Senior Living.
Elderly individuals may also need security devices for their homes to ensure personal safety.
Many prefer to remain in their own homes rather than move to a retirement community, so they
may require assistance with home repairs and yard work. It is essential to maintain their dignity,
self-respect, and quality of life. Transportation is another key concern for seniors, as many lack
private vehicles due to physical or financial limitations. Reliable transportation to medical
appointments, senior centers, meal sites, and shopping is vital for many elderly residents.

Persons with alcohol or drug addictions may also require affordable housing with supportive
services, as well as access to counseling, court services, healthcare, and substance abuse
intervention programs.
The needs of these populations in Tustin are assessed through available demographic data and
information from public services and nonprofit providers. Collaboration with these agencies during
the development of the City's strategic plan helps identify programs that align with local demand.
Mentally ill residents in Tustin may require affordable housing along with a wider range of
supportive services than the general population. These services may include counseling,
prescription assistance, healthcare, substance abuse counseling, job referrals, and crisis
intervention.
According to data from the 2018-2022 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates,
approximately 5,827 people in Tustin, or 7.3% of the population, live with a disability. The
prevalence of disability is significantly higher among seniors, with 45.3% of individuals aged 75
and older living with some form of disability. These residents may need affordable and accessible
housing, home improvement programs to add accessibility features, fair housing counseling, and
healthcare assistance.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical
health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing:
The City does not currently operate any programs specifically for individuals transitioning from
mental and physical health institutions. Tustin residents are referred to the following County
programs that aim to provide comprehensive support, including mental health services, housing
assistance, and employment resources.
1. Orange County Health Care Agency (HCA) Behavioral Health Services:
The HCA's Behavioral Health Services Division provides a continuum of care, including
prevention, early intervention, outpatient services, intensive inpatient services, and ancillary
support services. These services are designed to improve health outcomes and facilitate linkages
to housing and non -medical services.
2. Community Assistance Recovery Empowerment (CARE) Act:
The CARE Act allows designated individuals, such as family members, public guardians, and
certain professionals, to petition for a CARE Plan or Agreement for individuals with untreated

schizophrenia or psychosis. This plan includes housing and treatment services aimed at
supporting successful community integration.
3. Orange County Rescue Mission (OCRM):
OCRM is a faith -based nonprofit organization focused on reducing homelessness and supporting
individuals transitioning from institutional settings. They offer programs that include housing, food,
clothing, job training, medical care, dental care, psychological counseling, and spiritual support.
Many programs are tailored for veterans, families, youth, victims of domestic violence, and victims
of sex trafficking.
4. Mariposa Women & Family Center:
Mariposa provides comprehensive mental health and substance abuse support, including
counseling and legal resources, to individuals transitioning back into society. Their programs are
designed to assist vulnerable populations in achieving stability and healing.
5. Goodwill of Orange County's Employment WORKS Program:
This program offers individualized job placement and retention services to adults living with
mental health diagnoses. Participants work with employment specialists and peer mentors to
identify job opportunities and achieve vocational goals, supporting their reintegration into the
workforce.
6. Mental Health Association of Orange County (MHAOC):
MHAOC provides comprehensive mental health services, including counseling, advocacy, and
education. They offer a wide range of programs to promote mental wellness, address mental
health challenges, and reduce stigma, supporting individuals transitioning from institutional care.
7. National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Orange County:
NAMI offers education, support, and advocacy for individuals and families affected by mental
illness. They provide support groups, educational programs, and a helpline for immediate
assistance, aiding those re-entering the community after institutional stays.
These programs collectively offer a robust support system for individuals returning from mental
and physical health institutions in Orange County, addressing various needs from healthcare to
employment and community integration.

City expects to serve approximately 2,000 seniors at the Tustin Senior Center.
The City also allocates CDBG funds to Meals on Wheels Orange County to provide meal services
for the elderly, both at the Tustin Area Senior Center and for frail, home -bound elderly individuals.
Meals on Wheels OC estimates that they will deliver around 145 congregate and/or home -
delivered meals to Tustin residents each year.
Additionally, the City will continue to refer individuals with special needs, including those with
physical, mental, or developmental disabilities, alcohol or drug dependencies, and those with
HIV/AIDS, to the appropriate agencies for further assistance.

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing — 91.210(e)
Describe any negative effects of public policies on affordable housing and residential
investment:
As outlined by the Consolidated Plan regulations, a barrier to affordable housing is any public
policy, including land use controls, property taxes, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and
charges, growth limits, and other related policies. These barriers arise when incentives for
developing affordable housing are diminished due to excessive development costs or a lack of
community support. While some development costs are influenced by economic conditions and
other market factors beyond local government control, the development of affordable housing is
also impacted by federal, state, and local housing policies, as well as the "Not In My Backyard"
(NIMBY) attitude.
Although federal and state environmental regulations are enforced locally, these policies have
contributed and may continue to contribute to increased development costs. Public policy and
community concerns that may influence the cost of development and housing projects within the
City include the following:
Land use development
Labor and material costs
Land costs
Environmental challenges (such as wastewater, floodplains, and capacity issues)
Deed restrictions and covenants
Barriers to Affordable Housing Continued Discussion
Zoning Ordinances
Development standards encompass zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, and building
code requirements. Among these, the most impactful constraints are those established in the
City's zoning ordinance, which is a primary tool used by local jurisdictions to regulate the use of
private land. Zoning controls aspects such as land use, density, floor area, setbacks, parking, and
the placement and mix of residential, commercial, and industrial developments. It can also
manage the intensity of residential land use by imposing minimum lot size requirements.
While the City encourages the development of housing, it is also mindful of the quality of the living
environment created, with consideration given to standards such as:
Density
Height
Setbacks
Undergrounding of utilities
Aesthetics
Parking

Housing Development Fees
The City and various external agencies (e.g., school districts, sewer/sanitation agencies) charge
fees and assessments to cover the costs of processing permits and providing essential services
and facilities, such as utilities, schools, and infrastructure. These fees are generally assessed
based on the principle of cost recovery, distributed proportionally to the project's impact or the
extent of the benefits derived.
Tustin is a highly urbanized area, with most of its infrastructure, including streets, sewer, and
water facilities, already established. However, site improvements can still significantly increase
the cost of housing development. Cost-effective site planning and the use of housing set -aside
funds for projects within redevelopment areas can help reduce these site improvement costs.
Development Review Process
The evaluation and review process mandated by City procedures adds to the cost of housing, as
the holding costs incurred by developers are ultimately reflected in the unit's selling price. While
State Law sets maximum time limits for project approvals, City policies ensure that the minimum
processing time needed to comply with legal requirements and review procedures is followed.
Infrastructure Constraints
All development within the City is carefully evaluated for its impact on transportation, sewer
systems, parks, recreation, and pedestrian use. The cost of new or upgraded infrastructure is
typically covered by the developer, who then passes these costs onto the project, thereby raising
housing costs.
Davis -Bacon Wage Compliance
When federal funds are used for any project over $2,000 or for multi -family projects with more
than eight units, prevailing wages must be paid to laborers. These wages are typically higher than
standard market rates. The Davis -Bacon Act also requires extensive documentation to verify
compliance with prevailing wage standards, which adds to the overall cost of housing due to the
additional paperwork and monitoring requirements.
Floodplain Insurance
When federal funds are used to rehabilitate or construct homes in a floodplain zone, developers
or homeowners are required to obtain flood insurance. This requirement can be expensive and
may pose a financial burden, particularly for low-income homeowners, even in cases of minor
rehabilitation.
Existing Needs
The existing needs outlined in the Needs Assessment section of the Consolidated Plan include
housing issues such as substandard conditions, including a lack of complete plumbing or kitchen
facilities, overcrowding, cost -burdened families, and households facing disproportionately higher
levels of need.

Consolidated Plan regulations require an evaluation of community development needs, covering
areas such as public facilities, public improvements, public services, and economic development.
The Community Development Department, as the primary entity overseeing the Consolidated
Plan, is dedicated to creating effective investment strategies to address these needs through the

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment
sectors within your jurisdiction?
Based on 2016-2020 ACS data (Table 17), the two highest occupations sectors in the City are
Management, business and financial and sales and office. The smallest occupation sector is
farming, fisheries and forestry occupations. As Tustin is an urbanized city, these sectors are in
line with the type of work that would be typically available in a built -out, urban area.
Employment projections from 2016 to 2040 indicate that employment in the City of Tustin is
expected to grow by approximately 42 percent. The largest share of employment is projected to
be in service occupations, accounting for 41.1 percent of the workforce. However, due to shifts in
retail shopping trends, with more customers making purchases online, there is expected to be a
decreased demand for retail space, which could potentially affect retail employment moving
forward.

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
Nearly half of Tustin's active workforce has completed a college education. Many of the City's
residents commute to neighboring cities or further for work, with an average commute time
exceeding 30 minutes. Creating local employment opportunities would benefit the community,
particularly by establishing a balance between jobs and housing. This includes working with
existing businesses to expand and attract new companies in targeted industries, as well as
supporting business startups. Encouraging the relocation of companies to Tustin and enhancing
transportation options would also have a positive impact on the local workforce. Additionally, job
training, skill development, and education tailored to the needs of local industries would be crucial
for improving employment prospects for Tustin residents.
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 is presently marketing land within the Tustin Legacy Area to attract retail, office, and
professional uses, which will help expand the local job market. The recent development of the
Flight at Tustin Legacy corporate campus has already created more opportunities for employers
and jobs in the City. Additionally, the opening of the SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union corporate
campus has further contributed to job growth in Tustin. A new corporate and education campus
for Advantech is also under construction in the Advanced Education and Technology Park (ATEP)
area of Tustin Legacy, and it is expected to bring many new job opportunities to the City. In
addition, a large corporate/education campus (Advantech) has broken ground in the Advanced
Education and Technology Park (ATEP) area of Tustin Legacy, which is slated to bring many new
jobs to Tustin.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to
employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
According to Table 14, which includes data from the 2011-2015 ACS, there are 33,769 workers
in the workforce and 42,413 jobs available in the City of Tustin, indicating a surplus of jobs relative
to workers. However, a closer look at the breakdown of businesses by sector reveals that certain
industries have more workers than available jobs. These industries include agriculture, mining, oil
and gas extraction, education and healthcare services, and transportation and warehousing. The
most significant imbalance is seen in the retail trade sector, with a shortage of 2,492 workers,
followed by finance, insurance, and real estate (with a deficit of 1,956 workers) and construction
(with a shortage of 1,656 workers).
These trends represent a shift from pre -pandemic patterns. Notably, the construction sector has
seen a reversal. Before the pandemic, there were more workers in construction than available
jobs, but post -pandemic —despite a booming construction market —there is now a shortage of
construction workers. During the early days of the pandemic, construction activities slowed, and

Docusign Envelope ID: 22B5F71A-416D-49BF-BDDC-360ED355817B
many workers left the industry to pursue other opportunities. The resulting decrease in
experienced construction tradespeople has led to rising construction costs, as higher wages are
now being offered to attract workers back into the sector.
Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by
Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations.
Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
The City of Tustin has previously directed CDBG funding to support a Job Creation and Business
Incentive Program. This program offered a forgivable loan to new businesses that hired one full-
time equivalent employee who was a low- to moderate -income Tustin resident. The current
Consolidated Plan maintains a strong emphasis on Economic Development needs, prioritizing a
range of incentives and support for the local workforce in Tustin.
Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy (CEDS)?
Not Applicable.
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be
coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans
or initiatives that impact economic growth.
The City of Tustin maintains a variety of Economic Development and Business Assistance
activities, some of which may have the potential to leverage CDBG funds. Programs and activities
include: Micro -enterprise assistance including the City of Tustin's partnership with the Small
Business Development Center, and the City's Small Business Grant Program which anticipates
providing approximately $85,000 in small business grants during 2024; Tustin's newly created
Business Concierge Program which guides business owners through the permitting process and
ensures a streamlined approach to opening their businesses; Partnership with the Tustin
Chamber of Commerce and supporting Tustin's Businesses through events, and ribbon -cutting
ceremonies; Real Property Marketing in the Tustin Legacy area to bolster local economy; to name
a few.
Discussion:
As shown in Table 15, the 2016-2020 ACS data indicates that the City of Tustin had 33,769
employed residents. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the unemployment rate statewide
in October 2023 was 5.1 %, whereas Tustin's unemployment rate was notably lower at 3.1 %.
Table 15 also highlights the top industries where Tustin's workforce is employed. These include

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated?
(include a definition of "concentration")
This section of the Consolidated Plan includes CPD Maps that illustrate the concentration of
families with Extremely Low Income, Low Income, and Moderate Income who are experiencing
at least one of the four severe housing problems outlined in the Needs Assessment section of
this Plan. These families are predominantly concentrated within Tustin's CDBG Low/Mod Census
Tract Target Area, located in the southwestern part of the city. For the purposes of this analysis,
"concentration" refers to census tracts where 51 % or more of the population is affected by one of
the four housing problems.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income
families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
"Areas of racial/ethnic minority concentration" are defined as Census tracts where the percentage
of a minority population —defined as any race or ethnic group with a minority representation city-
wide —equals or exceeds the overall city-wide percentage of that group.
"Areas of low-income concentration" refer to Census blocks/tracts where at least 51 % of the
population consists of low- and moderate -income individuals. However, some communities are
permitted to use the "exception criteria" and undertake area benefit activities in any residential
areas where the proportion of low- and moderate -income persons is within the upper quartile of
all areas in the jurisdiction.
Based on data from CPD Maps (shown on the following page), concentrations of both minority
populations and low-income families can be found in certain Census tracts within the CDBG
Low/Mod Income Target Area. The white and light blue areas on the map indicate higher
concentrations of minority populations, while the darker colors represent areas with lower
concentrations.

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?
The housing market in these areas/neighborhoods is characterized by families with low to
moderate incomes, which often results in higher housing cost burdens. These families are more
likely to experience one or more of the four housing problems outlined in the Needs Assessment
section of this Consolidated Plan. As a result, there is a significant need for affordable housing
options and additional supportive services.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?
Community assets in these areas/neighborhoods include several City parks, the Tustin Area
Senior Center, the Tustin Family Youth Center, and Kids Corner Preschool. These facilities
primarily serve low- and moderate -income residents.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?
The City of Tustin allocates CDBG funding within the Low/Moderate Income Census Tract Target
Area to address public facility needs, infrastructure improvements, public services (including
youth and senior services), and economic development. There are ongoing opportunities to
enhance existing facilities or develop new ones to better serve the residents in this area. The City
will continue to prioritize CDBG funding within this Target Area.

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.
The internet has become a crucial platform for communication and information, enabling users to
benefit from the interconnectedness of business, education, commerce, and daily activities.
Reliable internet access is increasingly essential for success in today's economy. Communities
without broadband access face challenges in keeping up with broader trends, limiting their ability
to access educational and entrepreneurial opportunities online. This issue is especially significant
in low- and moderate -income (LMI) areas, where economic opportunities are already limited.
Research shows a strong link between increased high-speed internet access and improved
education and employment prospects, particularly in small cities and rural areas.
The City of Tustin has minimal gaps in broadband coverage, with AT&T serving approximately
91 % of the area. According to 2023 census data, 95.1 % of Tustin residents have broadband
internet subscriptions, and only 1.3% lack computer access, including residents in the City'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 is established, it's crucial to maintain competition among service
providers. A single provider monopolizing an area may have little incentive to deliver consistent,
high -quality services. The City of Tustin enjoys a healthy level of competition among internet

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 outlines an analysis of various hazards, including
earthquakes, extreme heat, wildfires, drought, windstorms, dam/reservoir failure, mass transit
accidents, power failures, terrorism, pandemics, hazardous materials releases, and flooding.
However, it does not specifically address climate change. The most recent Hazard Mitigation Plan
published by the County of Orange in 2020 acknowledges that climate change will exacerbate
the severity and frequency of other hazards, such as wildfires, flooding/storms, and tsunamis (due
to sea level rise). As a result, the hazard analysis process will become more complex, and specific
climate change hazards, like sea level rise, may be incorporated into future updates.
Climate change has been identified as a significant natural hazard, with the most likely impacts
being floods, urban fires, and drought. The County's hazard mitigation plan discusses the effects
of climate change on various areas, including water supply and demand, concerns about sea level
rise, water quality, flooding, property, infrastructure, services, and the vulnerability of ecosystems
and habitats.
Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate -
income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.
According to the County of Orange's 2020 Hazard Mitigation Plan, climate change has the
potential to impact numerous sectors of the economy, extending far beyond areas directly affected
by sea level rise or long-term temperature increases. These impacts will be complex, with both
direct and indirect consequences. Direct impacts could include reduced agricultural productivity,
increased fire hazards, decreased drinking water levels, and higher wildlife mortality rates, along
with damage to wildlife and fish habitats.
The consequences of these impacts could lead to a range of challenges, including reduced
business income, rising food and resource prices, unemployment, lower tax revenues due to
decreased spending, increased crime, foreclosures on business loans, and migration. The
interconnectedness of these effects makes it difficult to estimate financial damages accurately.
The impacts of climate change can be classified into three categories: economic, environmental,
and social.
Social impacts would involve public safety, health concerns, reduced quality of life, and
inequalities in the distribution of impacts and disaster relief. Many of the economic and
environmental impacts also have significant social components. For instance, migration from
coastal areas could lead to increased pressure on social infrastructure in other regions.
Municipalities will face difficult decisions regarding which critical assets to protect, relocate, or
remove, while also determining what is economically feasible. Balancing goals such as protecting
essential infrastructure, maintaining coastal recreation, and safeguarding ecosystems will be a
complex challenge. Agencies must recognize potential conflicts and prioritize actions, working
closely with regulatory bodies to develop solutions.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview:
The Strategic Plan section summarizes the City's five-year goals to address community needs
described earlier in the Consolidated Plan. The City strives to accomplish these goals by
maximizing and utilizing all available funding resources to conduct housing and community
development activities that will serve the low -moderate income residents of the City of Tustin. By
focusing resources to the priority needs and creating opportunities at the individual and
neighborhood levels, the City hopes to improve the quality of life for residents.
For the 2025 to 2029 period, the City has identified seven (7) priority needs which have been
developed according to the City Council's Strategic Plan, CDBG program eligibility, and feedback
from the Tustin community. These needs and goal statements will also allow the City to update
and align to how activities are structured and reported in the Integrated Disbursement and
Information System (IDIS). Additionally, the City's new needs, goals, and project structure enables
effective outcome reporting to its partners and the public.
Each Annual Action Plan linked to this Strategic Plan will describe the activities planned for the
coming program year to meet its five-year goals. Additionally, each Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) will report the City's progress in carrying out the
goals, projects, and activities in terms of the planned accomplishments for each need.

General Allocation Priorities
Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA
for HOPWA)
The City of Tustin's CDBG funding is typically allocated to public services activities, public facilities
and improvements, rehabilitation and preservation activities, economic development and program
admin activities which directly benefit low/moderate income persons as a majority.
Geographically, Tustin's efforts are concentrated within the CDBG Low/Mod Census Tract Target
Area which is located in the southwest portion of the City. This Target Area contains census tracts
which have been identified by HUD as having at least 51% low/mod income residents.

Description
Many challenges are faced by the City's vulnerable populations (including low and moderate -
income residents as well as special needs populations) and they do not have regular access
to critical services and programs such as youth programming, job training, transportation,
legal services, senior programming, medical care, and other social services. In addition, the
need for comprehensive homeless services, programming and facilities is a critical need
within the City. This need includes early intervention homeless prevention, increasing the
supply of emergency and transitional shelter options, permanent housing solutions, and the
provision of critical services to those who are at -risk of becoming homeless, currently
homeless, or recently homeless.
Basis for Relative
A core provision of the CDBG program is to provide Public Services to the Tustin community.
Priority
Improving access to these services is a high priority of the City of Tustin. This need is
additionally demonstrated by the state and region's historic homelessness crisis. The state of
California represents roughly one -tenth of the nation's population but has over 25% of the
nation's individuals currently experiencing homelessness.

SP-35 Anticipated Resources - 91.215(a)(4), 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction:
There are several potential funding sources that could help the City of Tustin address its housing
and community development priorities, as well as the specific objectives outlined in the Strategic
Plan component of the Consolidated Plan. However, due to reduced levels of State and federal
funding compared to previous years, the financial resources currently available to the City are
somewhat limited. Despite these challenges, the City will continue to seek additional funding
opportunities throughout the fiscal year.
The City's goal is to maximize the use of available federal, State, and local funds to build a thriving
community, create new affordable housing opportunities, and maintain and preserve existing
housing. Section SP-45 (Goals Summary) of the Consolidated Plan includes the City's estimates
for CDBG and General Fund allocations to support each goal.

In its current configuration, the City's institutional structure is well balanced in offering
opportunities to various agencies and organizations. The City actively encourages a system for
sharing resources and information through networking with other organizations such as federal,
state, county, and local non-profit agencies. The current listing reflects agencies that are receiving
CDBG funding for at least the duration of the 2024-25 funding cycle and thus will be providing
services to Tustin residents, as well as agencies who provide additional services and/or homeless
services to the community such as the Orange County Housing Authority, Mercy House, Laurel
House, Olive Crest and Orange County Health Care Agency.

Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services
listed above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless
individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and
unaccompanied youth)
The City of Tustin offers a variety of resources to support homeless individuals, including
organizations such as the Orange County Rescue Mission, Village of Hope, Tustin Family
Campus, Tustin Emergency Shelter, Human Options, Mercy House, Olive Crest, Families
Forward, Family Promise of Orange County, Orange County Gateway to Housing, and Laurel
House. These services encompass supportive housing, transitional housing, and emergency
shelters, including those dedicated to abused women and children.
Additionally, the Orange County Public Health Care Agency provides comprehensive services for
individuals living with HIV/AIDS. These services include case management, dental care, food
assistance, HIV housing support, partner services, prevention and education, HIV testing,
hotlines, legal assistance, medical care, mental health support, substance abuse resources, and
transportation services.
Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs
population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to,
the services listed above
The City of Tustin works in partnership with local, county, state, and federal organizations to
address service gaps and ensure an effective delivery system for individuals with special needs
and those experiencing homelessness. This includes senior services provided by the Tustin Area
Senior Center and Meals on Wheels Orange County, as well as support for individuals with
disabilities through the Orange County Health Care Agency and Regional Centers of Orange
County.
Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional
structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority
needs
The City of Tustin overcomes its largest gap in delivery of programs with its recognition as an
entitlement City. This enables the City to implement programs that previously went unfunded or
underfunded.

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 77 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 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 Tustin Legacy Specific Plan area (formally
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 Tustin Legacy Specific Plan area (formally 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:
1. 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;
2. A system of outreach, assessment, and prevention for determining the needs and
conditions of an individual or family who is homeless;
3. 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;
4. 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
5. 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 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.
The City is also working to expand transitional housing options through the recent opening of the
"House of Ruth" project by HomeAid Orange County in partnership with Family Promise of Orange
County. This project consists of a newly constructed seven -unit facility and family resource center,
designed to provide housing and support services to families with children who are experiencing
homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
With respect to both emergency shelter and transitional housing needs addressed during 2025-
2029 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 has been 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 has been provided in the past through Veterans Legal Institute, in
which pro bono legal services will be provided to assist these veterans. Regardless of CDBG
funding allocated to these specific program(s), they continue to provide support for Tustin
residents throughout the community. Further efforts to help the homeless not funded by CDBG
include additional programming from 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:
1. Helping low-income families avoid becoming homeless.
2. Reaching out to homeless persons and assessing their individual needs.
3. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons.
4. 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:
1. Continue to refer homeless persons and homeless families with children to service
agencies and organizations;
2. Support agencies which provide shelter and other services to the homeless through
financial contributions funded through the CDBG Program.
3. 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:
a. Coordination and cooperation among the Cities of Tustin and Irvine, support service
providers, school districts and advocates for the homeless should be promoted.
b. Creating a program and service system separate from the mainstream is inefficient and
not consistent with the concept of breaking the cycle of homelessness.
c. 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.
d. 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.

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards — 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards
In Orange County, lead poisoning is addressed by the Orange County Health Care Agency Public
Health Services' Lead Poisoning Prevention Program. The Lead Poisoning Prevention Program
provides services to the community to increase awareness of lead hazards, and provides
resources to parents, medical providers, homeowners, contractors, and workers.
According to 2016 — 2020 ACS data, approximately 6,140 owner -occupied and 7,210 renter -
occupied housing units within the City of Tustin were constructed before 1980 and have the
potential to contain lead -based paint. With the potential for lead -based paint hazards, the City will
utilize a Lead Hazards Review Worksheet which demonstrates compliance with HUD's Lead Safe
Housing Rule found within 24 CFR Part 35, and will work with contractors to identify and address
lead -based paint hazards in federally -funded housing rehabilitation projects. Where disturbed
paint is observed, or if paint will be disturbed as part of the rehabilitation activities, the City will
provide interim controls where lead -based paint is found. In order to further efforts to reduce lead -
based paint hazards, the City will continue to seek partnerships with organizations such as the
Orange County Public Health Care Agency Public Services.
To additionally 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.
• Removal of lead -based paint is also a priority health -safety initiative within the City of
Tustin's Home Repair Program.
How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and
hazards?
Older housing is more likely to have lead -based paint, and the amount of lead pigment in the paint
tends to increase with the age of the housing. Nearly half of Tustin's owner -occupied housing
stock (53%) and 46% of all renter -occupied housing stock was built after 1980, when the use of
lead -based paint was outlawed, eliminating the risk of lead -based paint hazards for residents of
these homes. The properties most at risk are those with deteriorated units, particularly those with
leaky roofs and plumbing. 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. Rental units built before 1980 constitute 56% of the

rental housing stock within the City of Tustin, and are considered an area of focus for lead -based
paint identification and reduction in federally -funded housing rehabilitation projects.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures?
When federal funds are used to assist in the rehabilitation of housing units, testing for lead -based
paint is required. When lead -based paint is found, the abatement efforts are included in the scope
of the rehabilitation assistance.
To additionally 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 (specifically the Home Repair 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

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. Four of the five 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. Appendix D includes the Housing Element Goals and Policies which serves as 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 the 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: Provision of an adequate supply of housing to meet the need for a variety of housing
types and the diverse socio-economic needs of all community residents commensurate with the
City's identified housing needs in the RHNA allocation.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a
description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City recognizes that the City's annual entitlement is not sufficient to meet all of the needs of the community. It is therefore important
to leverage resources to achieve the goals of the City. The City works diligently with private, state and local partners to leverage the
City's CDBG funds.
CDBG funds will be used to provide services to low- and moderate -income individuals, the special needs community, support economic
development, and address slum and blight within the CDBG target area for low- and moderate -income census tracts. These funds will
be leveraged with the City's general funds to support projects such as park improvements, street enhancements, and other public
facility upgrades. General fund estimates will be provided on a project -specific basis.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-

The City of Tustin does not have a "Target Area" as defined by HUD; however, the City has
identified census tracts and block groups where 51 % or more of the residents are low- or
moderate -income. This area is primarily located in the southwest part of the City. All CDBG
funding within the City of Tustin will be directed toward benefiting the low- and moderate -income
population. Public service activities must serve a majority of low- or moderate -income residents,
and public facilities projects must be located within the CDBG Low/Mod Census Tract Target
Area.
Geographic Distribution
Target Area I Percentage of Funds
CDBG Low/Mod Census Tract Target Area 100
Table 4 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
The City of Tustin's rationale for prioritizing CDBG funds to directly benefit the low- and moderate -
income population, or to be allocated within census tracts/block groups identified as low- or
moderate -income, remains consistent with the approach outlined in the Consolidated Plan
(Strategic Plan, Section 10).
Discussion:
Tustin is a relatively small jurisdiction with limited areas that meet the federal criteria for slum and
blight or concentrations of low- and moderate -income individuals. Nevertheless, the PY 2025-26
funds have been allocated in accordance with the national objectives of the CDBG program,
including supporting programs that benefit low- and moderate -income persons or help prevent
slum and blight.
In line with the priorities outlined in the Consolidated Plan, the City will focus public services and
improvements in the area of the City designated as the CDBG target area. The 2025-26 Action
Plan reflects this geographic focus for investment, as shown on the CDBG Low- and Moderate -
Income Areas and Project Locations maps.

Introduction:
The City of Tustin has established one-year Action Plan goals for the provision of affordable
housing in the following areas: homeowner rehabilitation (assisting eight households),
preservation of at -risk affordable rental housing (targeting the preservation of 100 units). For
further details on these housing goals, please refer to AP-20. Additionally, the data below outlines
the number of homeless, special -needs, and other families assisted with affordable housing. One-
year goals for rental assistance and the production of new housing units are also included.
In the prior year 2024-25 program, the City of Tustin launched a new affordable housing initiative,
the Homeowner Rehabilitation Program. The City of Tustin intends to continue the program in the
2025-26 program year, in alignment with current Housing Element policies. In partnership with
Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, this program aims to increase, improve, and preserve
affordable housing using federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The
program provides grants for eligible home repairs to low- and moderate -income homeowners
earning at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI), as defined by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Eligible repairs include, but are not limited to, the repair,
replacement, or installation of major systems such as plumbing, heating, electrical, windows,
roofing, painting, and handicap accessibility.

Introduction:
To address the regional needs of homeless individuals and families, the City of Tustin participates
in the Continuum of Care (CoC) program sponsored by the County of Orange. The purpose of
the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs is to fund projects that fill gaps in the
locally developed Continuum of Care system, helping homeless individuals move toward self-
sufficiency and permanent housing. A key component of this effort is funding projects that align
with the Department's goal of ending chronic homelessness.
Orange County's Point -In -Time (PIT) Count, branded as Everyone Counts OC, plays a critical
role in establishing a baseline for the County's efforts to build a comprehensive and responsive
System of Care for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The County and the
Orange County Continuum of Care conducted the 2024 PIT Count during the week of January
22, 2024, as required biennially by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). The sheltered count took place on the night of Monday, January 22, 2024, and the
unsheltered count occurred between Tuesday, January 23, 2024, and Thursday, January 25,
2024.
According to the most recent data, on any given night in Tustin, approximately 88 homeless
individuals are unsheltered, while 335 are sheltered. This information will help ensure that
residents have access to fair housing resources and services. Additional efforts to address
homelessness 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 ongoing collaboration between the Tustin Police Department, CityNet,
the 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 transient homeless individuals in Tustin.
For other special -needs groups who are not homeless, the City's Senior Center offers support to
the elderly and frail elderly. Services provided include transportation, case management,
information and referrals, shared housing programs, senior activities, health and fitness programs,
and recreational activities.
The City allocates CDBG funds to Meals on Wheels Orange County to provide meal services to
homebound elderly individuals. Additionally, the City will continue to refer individuals with special
needs —such as persons with disabilities (mental, physical, and developmental), those with
alcohol or drug dependencies, and individuals with HIV/AIDS—to the appropriate agencies.
For PY 2025-26, the following organizations will utilize CDBG funding to provide homeless
services and special needs support: Goodwill of Orange County, Human Options, Families
Forward, Family Promise of OC, and Mary's Path.

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 77 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 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 Tustin Legacy Specific Plan area (formally
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 Tustin Legacy Specific Plan area (formally 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 the Orange County Rescue Mission have entered into a ground lease
agreement to support the construction and rehabilitation of a 5.1-acre site, which will become a
192-unit emergency and transitional housing project at the former MCAS Tustin. The Village of
Hope has expanded its transitional housing capacity, increasing to 387 beds, a rise of 195 beds.
This emergency and transitional housing facility is currently operational.
Additionally, please refer to the earlier description of the new low -barrier homeless shelter in
Tustin, which provides critical assistance to homeless individuals within the community.
The City is also working to expand transitional housing options through the recent opening of the
"House of Ruth" project by HomeAid Orange County in partnership with Family Promise of Orange
County. This project consists of a newly constructed seven -unit facility and family resource center,
designed to provide housing and support services to families with children who are experiencing
homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
For the 2025-26 program year, the City will allocate CDBG funds to support emergency shelter
and transitional housing initiatives. Specifically, funds will be directed to: Family Promise of
Orange County's House of Ruth Emergency/Temporary Housing Program, Families Forward
Transitional Housing Program, and Human Options' Third Step Transitional Housing Program.
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 recognizes that homeless individuals often require affordable or subsidized housing to
successfully transition to independent living. The Orange County Housing Authority will continue
to assist homeless individuals on the Section 8 waiting list. CDBG funds will be specifically

allocated to Goodwill of Orange County to provide emergency grants to veterans and their families
who are at risk of homelessness. This program has the potential to prevent homelessness for
veterans and their families by providing the financial support necessary to keep them housed.
Additionally, services for homeless and at -risk veterans will be provided through Patriots & Paws,
an organization that helps low-income and at -risk veterans furnish their homes and apartments.
The City also acknowledges the valuable efforts of local nonprofits and churches that work
tirelessly to provide support and services for the homeless in the community.
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.
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:
1. Helping low-income families avoid becoming homeless.
2. Reaching out to homeless persons and assessing their individual needs.
3. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons.
4. 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:
1. Continue to refer homeless persons and homeless families with children to service
agencies and organizations;
2. Support agencies which provide shelter and other services to the homeless through
financial contributions funded through the CDBG Program.
3. 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:
a. Coordination and cooperation among the Cities of Tustin and Irvine, support service
providers, school districts and advocates for the homeless should be promoted.

Docusign Envelope ID: 22B5F71A-416D-49BF-BDDC-360ED355817B
b. Creating a program and service system separate from the mainstream is inefficient and
not consistent with the concept of breaking the cycle of homelessness.
c. 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.
d. Linkages with job -training, employment and education should be encouraged.
As previously mentioned, the City of Tustin participates in the County of Orange's Continuum of
Care process and the Association of California Cities — Orange County's Homelessness Task
Force. This collaboration allows the City to stay informed about the region's homeless shelter and
service needs. Through its partnership with the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA), Tustin
renter households also have access to OCHA's Family Self -Sufficiency Program. Preference for
this program is given to families with children who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless,
such as those spending over 50 percent of their income on rent. In addition to housing assistance,
the program offers a range of support services, including job training and employment
opportunities, to help participants achieve economic independence.
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 aim to prevent homelessness. These services include counseling for victims of
domestic violence, support for at -risk youth, meals for seniors, veterans' services, family and
infant care, healthcare services, and youth programs through local organizations such as the Boys
and Girls Clubs of Tustin, MOMS Orange County, and Meals on Wheels Orange County.
Discussion:
Throughout the 2025-26 Program Year, the City of Tustin will continue to support the priority
needs and performance goals outlined in its Consolidated Plan, focusing on strategies to address
homelessness. Planned activities include the Homeless Housing Partnership Program, Section 8
Rental Assistance, and providing administrative support for affordable housing initiatives.

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.
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
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 outlined in the Consolidated Plan, the City has implemented indirect assistance programs to
mitigate the negative impacts caused by barriers to affordable housing. The following programs
are identified as the strategies the City of Tustin will use to address these barriers during the
2025-26 Program Year:
• Accessory dwelling units
• Deed restrictions
• Fees, exactions, 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

detailing constraints such as zoning regulations, housing development fees, the development
review process, infrastructure limitations, Davis -Bacon Wage Compliance, floodplain insurance,

AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
Introduction:
The five-year Consolidated Plan includes a housing and homeless needs assessment, outlining
estimated housing needs for Low- and Moderate -income residents, special needs populations,
and the homeless. During the 2025-26 Program Year, the City of Tustin will take the following
actions to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, focusing on goals such as fostering
and maintaining affordable housing, removing barriers to affordable housing, developing
institutional structures, enhancing coordination between public and private housing and social
services agencies, improving public housing, and utilizing available federal, state, and local
resources.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
To meet the needs of Tustin's underserved population, the City will make efforts to:
• Coordinate with federal, state, and local agencies to provide appropriate assistance to
residents.
• Collaborate with public service providers to ensure adequate services are available.
• Work to improve physical conditions in slum and blighted areas, focusing on
neighborhoods with high concentrations of Low- and Moderate -income residents.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City will continue to leverage federal, state, and local resources to foster and maintain
affordable housing through programs such as:
• Housing rehabilitation for single-family dwellings.
Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards
In Orange County, lead poisoning is addressed by the Orange County Health Care Agency Public
Health Services' Lead Poisoning Prevention Program. The Lead Poisoning Prevention Program
provides services to the community to increase awareness of lead hazards, and provides
resources to parents, medical providers, homeowners, contractors, and workers.
According to 2016 — 2020 ACS data, approximately 6,140 owner -occupied and 7,210 renter -
occupied housing units within the City of Tustin were constructed before 1980 and have the
potential to contain lead -based paint. With the potential for lead -based paint hazards, the City will
utilize a Lead Hazards Review Worksheet which demonstrates compliance with HUD's Lead Safe
Housing Rule found within 24 CFR Part 35, and will work with contractors to identify and address
lead -based paint hazards in federally -funded housing rehabilitation projects. Where disturbed
paint is observed, or if paint will be disturbed as part of the rehabilitation activities, the City will
provide interim controls where lead -based paint is found. In order to further efforts to reduce lead -

based paint hazards, the City will continue to seek partnerships with organizations such as the
Orange County Public Health Care Agency Public Services.
To additionally 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.
• Removal of lead -based paint is also a priority health -safety initiative within the City of
Tustin's Home Repair Program.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
The City supports and implements the goals and policies outlined in the Housing Element of the
General Plan and the Consolidated Plan. These documents aim to provide adequate, safe, and
affordable housing for all segments of the population.
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. Four of the five 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. Exhibit 6 includes the Housing Element Goals and Policies which serves as the City
of Tustin's Anti -Poverty Goals and Policies.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
Tustin will continue to participate in "network -building" activities with governmental, nonprofit, and
for -profit organizations. These activities include attending quarterly meetings of the Orange
County Cities Advisory Committee. The City will also continue funding the Fair Housing
Foundation, which provides fair housing and advocacy services regionally. Additionally, Tustin
will support collective and cooperative efforts with other Orange County jurisdictions.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
Although Tustin does not own or operate public housing, it will continue to support the Orange
County Housing Authority's efforts to coordinate housing resources with social service agencies.

low- and moderate -income persons. The Consolidated Plan also outlines a five-year
strategy to meet those needs and identifies resources and programs that would
address them. The One-year Action Plan, a section of the Consolidated Plan, serves
as the City of Tustin's application to HUD for CDBG funding. The City must submit an
Action Plan annually for each of the five years covered by the Consolidated Plan. The
purpose of the Action Plan is to detail exactly how the City will spend its annual
allocation of funds to meet community needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. The
Draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, and One-year Action Plan will be available for
public review and comment for thirty (30) days beginning March 13, 2025, and ending
