Meet other community development needs having a particularly urgency because e
conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the com

The City of Carlsbad is committed to using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG:
to enhance both the physical environment of the City and to assist low and moderate ii
persons. The maximum feasible priority will be given to projects which benefit low and mc
income residents or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. To achieve tt
Department of Housing & Urban Development goals, all CDBG projects/services that are 1
by the City of Carlsbad will be required to meet at least one and preferably more than on€
three National Objectives listed above.
In addition to meeting National Objectives, each Community Development Block Grant ((
project must also meet at least one of the City’s Primary Community Development Obje
The City of Carlsbad’s Primary Community Development Objectives are:
1. Provide direct benefit to low and moderate income persons through the provi:
maintenance of affordable housing units or housing related services for Carlsbac
Provide assistance to prevent or eliminate residential Building or Municipal
violations and/or the deterioration of potential or existing affordable housing unit:
Provide public services which meet the basic needs (food, clothing, shelter, health)
and moderate income persons/households.
2.
3.
These Primary Community Development Objectives were developed to address the treme
need for the provision and/or maintenance of affordable housing units or housing related s
services. There also exists a number of housing units that have deteriorated and may CL
be in violation of local regulations. Recently, the City of Carlsbad has experienced ai
greater need for basic services for low and moderate income individuals and families. Bt
of the identified need for additional affordable housing units and housing related servic
primary goal of the Community Development Plan is focused on how to meet this need.
0 * -t
The need for additional affordable housing units in the City of Carlsbad has been dacume
by San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) during an analysis of housing nl
countywide. The regional share of affordable housing units in Carlsbad is significant foi
period (1 991 -1 996). Consequently this Community Development Plan gives first priorit
assistance to the construction or creation of new affordable housing units to meet our fair s
of for very low (1,443) and low (1,066) income households.
To address the State of California requirement to provide housing opportunities for all segrr
of the population the City of Carlsbad has amended the Housing Element of the General I
The housing opportunities will include additional units for very low, low and moderate inc
persons/households in Carlsbad. The Housing Element will be in effect between 1991 and 1
The Housing Element identifies a variety of programs with time schedules (including both :
and long term goals) that will be necessary to meet the affordable housing needs for all inc
ranges. The Housing Element describes the need for more housing opportunities and hoi
related support services for individuals and families that meet low and moderate inc
guidelines. The Housing Element of the General Plan is incorporated by reference into Community Development Plan.
The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) also addresses the short and
term community development and housing needs of low and moderate inc
persons/households as required by the National Affordable Housing Act. The CHAS will I
effect until November 1, 1996. The CHAS was prepared by the Housing & Redevelopi
Department in 1991 and is intended to be a comprehensive assessment of housing neec
coordinated housing development plan incorporating Federal, State and local public and pr
resources; and a one-year implementation plan. The CHAS is incorporated by reference
this Community Development Plan.
The Primary Community Development Objectives are intended to comply with the
requirements for a Community Development Plan. The Primary Community Develop1
Objectives will be used as a tool to evaluate the eligibility of all future CDBG proposals pri
submission to the City Council for funding recommendation on an annual basis.
