and Neighborhood Development, Strategy 15: Create affordable and workforce housing
options, and Strategy 16: Address homelessness.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The California Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 34328 requires the Tustin
Housing Authority (Housing Authority) submit to the legislative body and the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) an annual report for the
preceding fiscal year.
On March 15, 2011, the City Council approved Resolution No. 11-20 establishing the
Housing Authority in accordance with State law, with the duties and powers allowed
under HSC Section 34200 et seq. On April 19, 2011, the Housing Authority adopted
Resolution HA No. 11-01 approving the By -Laws for the Housing Authority, and on
January 17, 2012, adopted Resolution HA No. 12-01, approving the assumption of
housing assets and functions previously performed by the former Tustin Community
Redevelopment Agency, which was dissolved on February 1, 2012.
In accordance with HSC Section 34328, the Housing Authority shall annually file a report
of its activities for the preceding year with the City Clerk and HCD. State law outlines a
short list of required informational points that must be included, largely focused on
financial expenditures and obligations to maintain affordable units that have benefited
from Housing Authority investment. Tustin currently has a total of 263 affordable
ownership units, 995 affordable rental units, and 12 transitional units; and affordability
is maintained through regulatory agreements and covenants between a public agency
and the property owner. However, a mix of public agency agreements exist in Tustin —
some are with the Housing Authority, some are with the County of Orange, and the
majority are with the City of Tustin. While this Annual Report is obligated to report on
activities of the Housing Authority, to better provide a broader picture of affordable
housing within the city, all units with affordable regulations are documented regardless
of which entity recorded a covenant.
The Annual Report is broken out into two sections. Section One provides data as
required under HSC Section 34328.1 and outlines compliance with HSC Section
34312.3. As the Housing Authority did not enter into any new financial obligations, did
not expend funding on new affordable units, and does not own any housing properties,
reporting is minimal. Section Two provides an inventory of units and describes recent
activities associated with affordable housing, including housing activities that address
homelessness. The principal effort undertaken each year is what is known as
"monitoring", which is an annual process of ensuring covenants and regulatory
agreements are adhered to, and this effort is conducted by Housing Authority staff for
all units except for those holding agreements with the County of Orange or subsidized
by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 8 vouchers.
Some additional information is included to offer status of different projects that is not
required by statute.

ANNUAL REPORT
Fiscal Year 2024-25
ESTABLISHED
The Tustin Housing Authority (Housing Authority) was established on March 15, 2011 by
the City of Tustin City Council, and its by-laws were adopted on April 19, 2011 by the
Housing Authority, largely in reaction to legislation that proposed dissolution of all
redevelopment agencies across the state. Ultimately, following litigation, the California
Supreme Court upheld the legislation, and all redevelopment agencies were dissolved on
February 1, 2012. Pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code Section 34176, a
housing authority could assume the housing assets and functions of the former
redevelopment agency, which is what occurred in Tustin. This Annual Report (Report)
provides an update on activities of the Housing Authority.
ANNUAL REPORT
Section 34200 et seq. of California Health and Safety Code (HSC) defines requirements
and obligations of local housing authorities. In accordance with HSC Section 34328, this
Report includes the statutory reporting of Housing Authority for the preceding year, to be
filed with the City Clerk and the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD). The Report is broken into two sections: Section One includes
compliance reporting information pursuant to HSC Section 34328 and 34312.3; and
Section Two provides an overview of activities associated with the affordable housing
assets and functions during the year.
The Housing Authority is a separate legal and political entity from the City of Tustin (City).
However, this Report is an opportunity to highlight all activities related to affordable
housing, therefore, in Section Two, affordable housing activities occurring outside of the
Housing Authority's purview are also included and noted as such.
The Report supports the City's Strategic Plan, Goal A: Economic and Neighborhood
Development, by preserving and expanding affordable and workforce housing options
under Strategy 15 and by addressing homelessness through transitional housing and
partnerships with service providers under Strategy 16. These efforts reflect the City's
ongoing commitment to strong neighborhoods and housing opportunities for all residents.
SECTION ONE — COMPLIANCE WITH HOUSING AUTHORITY LAWS
Pursuant to Section 34328.1 of the HSC, the Annual Report provides the following
statutory reporting information for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25.
1. Data on terminations of tenancies of victims of domestic violence in housing
authority units, and terminations of Section 8 vouchers of victims of domestic
violence.
a. The Housing Authority does not currently own or operate housing units or
issue Section 8 vouchers. As a result, the Housing Authority does not have
any data to report.

2. All prior year activities related to the issuance of bonds, loans, or other financial
transactions for the purposes of affordable housing.
a. The Housing Authority did not issue bonds, nor undertake new financial
commitments in FY 2024-25.
3. Any activities where the Housing Authority developed, rehabilitated, or financed
housing projects or participated in the development, rehabilitation, or financing of
housing projects, or purchased, sold, leased, owned, operated, or managed housing
projects so assisted.
a. A homeowner of an affordable unit relocated but retained possession of the
unit, in violation of the covenant on the home, which states the unit must be
owner -occupied. As a result, the City exercised its option to repurchase the
property at the affordable housing cost of $466,651. The unit was then
resold to an income -eligible household at the affordable housing cost of
$479,692. After charges and fees associated with the sale of the property,
the City received $460.393, effectively spending about $6,000 to transition
the unit to a new homebuyer.
4. Any indebtedness incurred pursuant to a mortgage loan finance that is subject to
acceleration and the balance owing declared immediately due and payable upon
any sale of an owner -occupied residence to a purchaser who does not meet the
required qualifications for borrowers as established by the authority.
a. The Housing Authority has no activity to report, all home purchasers during
FY 2024-25 were verified to be income -qualified.
5. Certification that the Housing Authority shall require the owners of housing projects
assisted pursuant to HSC Section 34312.3 to accept as tenants, on the same basis
as all other prospective tenants, in the units reserved for very low-income
households, any very low-income households who are recipients of federal
certificates for rent subsidies pursuant to the existing program under Section 8 of
the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 1437f), or its successor. The
Housing Authority shall not permit selection criteria to be applied to Section 8
certificate holders that is any more burdensome than the criteria applied to all other
prospective tenants.
a. The Housing Authority complies with this requirement through regulatory
agreements.
6. A determination that no resident in housing units assisted pursuant to HSC Section
34312.3 was denied continued occupancy or ownership because, after admission,
the resident's family income increased to exceed the eligibility level. However, the
Housing Authority shall ensure that percentage requirements of this section shall
continue to be met by providing the next available unit or units to persons of low-

income or by taking other actions to satisfy the percentage requirements of this
section.

monitoring.
7. A determination in whether the percentage requirements of subdivision (c) of HSC
Section 34312.3 have been achieved.
a. The Housing Authority did not fund any new units in FY 2024-25. All
previously assisted units remain in compliance.

and community development in this state.
a. The Housing Authority does not have any recommendations for needed
legislation at this time.
SECTION TWO — HOUSING AUTHORITY ACTIVTIES
The Housing Authority's primary function is to increase, improve, and preserve the
community's supply of low- and moderate -income housing available at an affordable cost.
These efforts are summarized in the following section, which functions to both fulfill
reporting requirements and to highlight recent activities related to affordable housing
undertaken by both the Housing Authority and the City.
Affordable Ownership Housing
As of the reporting date, 263 covenant -restricted, affordable owner -occupied units exist
in Tustin, as shown in the following Exhibit 1. All units have affordability covenants that
restrict the income levels of the homebuyers at the time of purchase. Some units also

have "silent second" loans' that are used to maintain affordability. Only nine of the for -
sale units have affordability covenants that are held by the Housing Authority. The vast
majority of units have affordability covenants held by the City. Nevertheless, all units are
annually monitored by staff to ensure adherence with covenants and agreements and are
included here to provide a broader picture of affordable homeownership units within
Tustin.

Resales —The affordable units detailed in Exhibit 1 are each governed by a covenant
that regulates the allowable income limits for the buyer (at the date of purchase) for
a set amount of time, typically 45 years. During this time period, an owner may sell
their property, but the income restriction remains in place until the covenant is
expired. Therefore, the new buyer must also meet the income limits associated with
that unit, and the sales price must be affordable to that income level under current
standards, which are annually updated by HCD.
In FY 2024-25, two affordable units were resold. As described in Section 1, one
owner was out of compliance with the covenant in place, and the owner sold the unit
back to the City. The unit was then resold to an income -eligible household. The
second sale was directly from one property owner to another income -qualified
property owner. In conjunction with these sales, Housing Authority staff:
A silent second loan is a loan from an agency that is subordinate to the primary, market rate, mortgage
in order to make the housing unit affordable to lower -income homeowners. While these loans can be
structured in various ways, the homeowner typically does not make payments on the silent second loan
until the primary mortgage is repaid, or the property is sold.

2. Refinances — The Housing Authority did not have any affordable homeowners
refinance their existing mortgages in FY 2024-25.

Development Agreement with Intercorp Socal-1, LLC, for a 40-unit townhome

income units. In FY 2024-25, the Housing Authority assisted with all components of
the sale of the two very low-income units to income -eligible households. Covenants
and agreements were recorded as part of the process.

1. Amalfi and Anton Legacy — These two covenant -restricted affordable housing rental
projects were built in Tustin Legacy and the Housing Authority monitors them for
adherence to covenants. Amalfi was developed as a mixed -income community with
37 of the 533 units restricted as moderate -income units. As of June 30, 2025, 36 of
the affordable units were leased with 1 unit in transition to a new tenant. Anton

88 very low-income, 72 low-income, and 55 moderate -income units were leased with
the balance in transition to new tenants.
2. Coventry Court and Heritage Place — These developments are both senior
affordable housing rental projects. Due to the more restrictive Tax Credit regulatory
agreement, Heritage Place, has more very low-income units than are required by

the City agreement. As of June 30, 2025, all affordable units were leased to income -
eligible households.
3. Families Forward —Families Forward operates six very low-income rental housing
units at Tustin Legacy. As of June 30, 2025, all affordable units were leased to
income -eligible households.
4. Miscellaneous Units — The Housing Authority monitors four affordable units with
covenants that stemmed from unique circumstances (one from a code enforcement
case and three from a rehabilitation project). As of June 30, 2025, all four units were
leased to income -eligible households.
5. Tustin Gardens — This project's affordability is maintained and monitored through a
federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) subsidy. The
subsidy for this project was renewed by HUD in 2021, extending the affordability of
the project through 2041.
6. Chatham Village, Westchester Park, and Flanders Pointe — All three of these
developments hold affordability covenants with the County of Orange, and are
monitored by the Orange County Housing Authority. The Housing Authority is
required to report if affordable covenants are nearing expiration, and each of these
projects is at risk of expiring: Chatham Village (12/31/2027), Westchester Park
(10/1/2029), and Flanders Pointe (12/31/2029). Tustin staff will be coordinating with
the County of Orange to identify options for covenant extensions, if any.
Homeless Services
The Housing Authority was designated as the entity to oversee efforts to serve the
homeless and those efforts are detailed in the following section.
1. Tustin Veterans Outpost — On December 16, 2014, the City Council approved the
conveyance of the two City -owned four-plexes to the Orange County Rescue
Mission (OCRM) for the purpose of providing services to homeless veterans. OCRM
completed the rehabilitation of the units and began operation in July 2016. The
program was so successful, OCRM purchased three neighboring four-plex units in
September 2019, bringing the total number of beds offered to 52. The new units
were first focused on veterans experiencing homelessness, however, with the
expanded capacity, OCRM was able to help veterans and their families who are
working and going to college. Exhibit 3 is a summary of the activity occurring for all
veterans served at the Veterans Outpost in FY 2024-25.

Other Activities
The following section provides a brief update on a project funded by the City in FY 2023-
24.
1. Families Forward Development Project — In September 2018, the City Council
adopted the Voluntary Workforce Housing Incentive Program, an inclusionary
housing and in -lieu fees policy codified as Tustin City Code B9923. The policy
established a framework by which developers would provide affordable units and/or
pay a fee to the City to be used for affordable housing purposes within the Downtown
Commercial Core and Red Hill Specific Plan areas. (This policy was modified by
Resolution 24-14 in March 2024, which temporarily suspends collection of in -lieu
fees.) In -lieu fees collected to date, along with interest, total approximately $2.1
million.
On November 7, 2023, the City Council approved an Affordable Housing Grant
Agreement between Families Forward and the City of Tustin and Tustin Housing
Authority in the amount of $2,000,000 from the in -lieu fees fund, which will effectively
exhaust the balance of the fund once expended. Families Forward will construct
eight affordable housing units for families with minor children who are at -risk of or
are experiencing homelessness and are extremely low- to low-income. The funding
will be leveraged with funds from Families Forward and a $2,500,000 capital grant
from CalOptima Health. Families Forward submitted the entitlement package for the
project in Fiscal Year 2024-25. Construction is anticipated to begin in Fiscal Year
2025-26.
