CITY MGR.:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt City Council Resolution No. 93-238 to APPROVE the submittal of an applica
California State Department of Housing and Community Development for 1993 Fedt
Investment Partnership Program Funds in the amount of $1 million to provide rental
opportunities to very low income residents within the City of Carlsbad; and authorizing tt
and Redevelopment Director to execute a standard agreement if selected for HOME fundin
related documents necessary to participate in the program.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 provides Federally administered block grz
nation's states, cities and counties. One of the major programs funded under the noted t-
is the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. The purpose of the program is to as
acquisition, development, construction, or rehabilitation of housing affordable to persons
of low income and to provide direct assistance to low income families in the form of te
rental assistance.
HOME funds were allocated by a formula to eligible participating jurisdictions, state
governments, throughout the United States. Although the City of Carlsbad is not entitled
California Department of Housing and Community Development.
The intent of the HOME program is 1) to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary and
housing, primarily rental housing; 2) to strengthen the abilities of state and local gove
provide housing; 3) to assure that federal housing services, financing, and other inves
provided to state and local governments in a coordinated, supportive fashion.
In July of 1993, the State was allocated $20 million for the HOME program to distribute
The Department of Housing and Community Development has prepared regulations to (
State's HOME program and is making those funds available through a Notification
Availability (NOFA) process. Individual applications are limited to $1 million, per agenc
include the entire range of activities that are eligible under HOME or can be restricted to o
The City must compete with other eligible agencies for these HOME funds.
For program year 1993, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the submi:
application for HOME funds in the amount of $1 million for a tenant-based rental assistanc
If approved for funding, this new program will expand upon the City's existing rental program. Currently, the City is providing rental assistance to approximately 473 very
households. Staff anticipates that we would be able to assist an additional 100 very
households if we receive the requested HOME funds from the State.

a m e
PAGE 2
AB# JX,YIY
Because of the City's experience in operating a rental assistance program for nearly twenty fiv~
(25) years, staff believes that Carlsbad will be very competitive in the noted application process
In general, the proposed program will be administered in the same fashion as the existing renta
assistance program (see HOME Application).
Staff believes the City's best opportunity to compete successfully for HOME funds is througl
a rental assistance proposal. This type of program will provide the most immediate benefits tc
those in need as well as serve our Housing Element goals. Therefore, staff is recommending tha
Carlsbad apply for the funds.
The Housing Commission reviewed staffs request to submit an application for the HOMl
funding on September 9, 1993. They recommended approval of the application with one chang
from stafrs original proposal. The description of the proposed Tenant-Based Rental Assistanc
Program, within the HOME application, originally included a provision that participant
receiving this assistance from the City would be required to reside in Carlsbad, withou
exception. The Housing Commission felt that this was too restrictive and that the participant
acceptable rental unit within Carlsbad. The HOME application and program description has bee
revised to reflect the Housing Commission's recommendation regarding the residenc
requirement e
should be allowed to use their rental assistance in another city if they were unable to liocate a
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff currently estimates the cost of administering the proposed program to be approximatel
$41,000 per year, or $82,000 for a two year program, Per the program implementatio
guidelines set forth by the State, the City of Carlsbad may use five percent (5%) of its grar
award, or a total of $50,000, for administrative costs. Staff is recommending that the City us
the available $50,000, if approved by the State, and $32,000 in Redevelopment Low/Moderat
Income Housing funds to cover the administrative expenses for the proposed program.
To apply for the noted HOME funds, the City must meet a "matching funds" requirement. Fc
the program proposed, the matching funds requirement is $250,000. Since the City cannot us
other federal sources to meet this requirement, staff is proposing that the City us
Redevelopment Low/Moderate Income Housing Funds. A portion ($32,000) of these funds wi
be used to cover administrative expenses, as noted above, and the remaining funds ($218,00C
would be used to provide additional rental assistance to very low income households. Throug
separate action, staff will request that the Housing and Redevelopment Commission authoriz
the expenditure of these funds for the proposed program.

With $1 million from the HOME program and $250,000 in Low/Moderate Income Housin;
funds, staff estimates that 100 additional very low income households can be provided aenta
assistance o
At this time, staff does not anticipate a fiscal impact on the General Fund. The Housing an(
Redevelopment Department will administer the new program as well as the existing Section I
program with no new staff.

ATTACHMENT 7. BUDGET
The City of Carlsbad estimates the administrative cost of operating the proposed tenant-based rental assistance program a* approximately $41,000 per year, or $ 82,000 for the proposed twc year program. The City will finance these administrative costs through the HOME program to the extent allowed by applicable regulations. It is our understanding that the City may use
$50,000 of the total funds we are eligible to receive ($1 milli( total) for administrative costs. Therefore, the City intends to use $50,000 in HOME funds and $32,000 in Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds for the purposes of covering administrative cos directly related to the HOME-funded tenant-based rental
assistance program.
The Carlsbad Housing Authority intends to incorporate the Home-
funded rental assistance program into the City's existing Secti
8 Rental Assistance program for implementation purposes. A new computer software program has been installed to improve the operation of the Cit.y's rental assistance program(s).
Exhibit B provides a breakdown of the charges as related to the
$50,000 in HOME funds which the City has indicated it will use cover a portion of administrative costs for the proposed progrz Since Exhibit B only represents a portion of the two year budge for the proposed Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program. A full two year budget breakdown is attached to Exhibit B for your additional information. The costs to operate the HOME Rental
Assistance Program were based on administrative fees (per certificate/ voucher) allowed for the Section 8 Rental Assistar Program.
Also attached to Exhibit 8 is a letter from the City's Housing and Redevelopment Director, Mr. Evan Becker, committing the USE
of $250,000 in Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds to the proposed Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program. As stated previously, $32,000 of these funds will be used to cover administrative costs, if necessary, and the remaining $218,000 will be used to provide direct rental assistance to eligible households.
The Rental Assistance Program proposed within this application will be administered over a two year period. Carlsbad Housing Authority staff will conduct an annual recertification to determine the continued eligibility of participants. If a participant no longer is eligible for the program, the rental assistance will be terminated. The same process the Housing Authority uses for monitoring the eligibility of participants use of Section 8 (federal) funds will be used for monitoring t
HOME-funded program. This process is outlined within the Secti
8 Administrative Plan and the program description for the HOME
funded program as outlined within the application. A copy of t

ATTACHMENT 9. QUARTERLY SCHEDULE
Fortunately, the City of Carlsbad's Housing Authority already operates a very successful Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Progra which is funded through the Federal Section 8 program. Therefore
the City will be able to immediately begin to implement the program proposed for HOME funding upon approval. Based on the
assumptions that 1) the State of California will provide execute contracts to approved agencies by the end of January, 1994, 2)
the City will be funded for the full requested amount, and 3) that 100 households can be assisted throuqh the proposed progran
the quarterly schedule as proposed in Exhibit D to this application is realistic for program implementation purposes.
It is anticipated that the City of Carlsbad's Housing Authority will be able to process 100 households for participation on the
HOME Rental Assistance Program within one Year after approval 01 the funding. Since the HOME Rental Assistance Program requires i two year contract with participants, the second year of the
program will simply require maintenance of the 100% lease-up rate. If initial participants become ineligible for the program or choose to terminate their assistance, the Housing Authority
will process a new applicant from the existing Section 8 Rental Assistance Program to maintain the 100% lease-up rate. We do no1
anticipate any problems in Illeasing upt1 the proposed vouchers within one year and/or maintaining the program the second year.

ATTACHMENT 10. PROGRAM DESIGN AND PROCESS
A detailed plan describing 1) the use of HOME funds for HOME activities; 2) procedures to be used to ensure compliance with
federal regulations; 3) the community's housing needs and how th use of HOME funds will address them; 4) the form for using the
HOME funds; and 5) the manner in which the tenant-based rental assistance program will be administered is attached for your review.
If approved for HOME funding by the State of California, the Cit of Carlsbad intends to operate/administer a tenant-based rental assistance program to complement the City's existing Section 8 Rental Assistance program. The City anticipates that it will be able to assist at least 100 additional very low income household through the proposed program.
The City of Carlsbad intends to use the $1 million requested in
HOME funds in combination with $250,000 in Redevelopment Housinc Set-Aside funds to administer the rental subsidies program proposed within this application. A portion ($50,000) of the HOB
program. In addition, the City will use $32,000 in Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds to cover the administrative costs not reimbursable through the HOME program due to the I1capta on available funding for this purpose. Attached is a Carlsbad Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution authorizing the use of a total of $250,000 in Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds for the noted program/purpose.
The City of Carlsbad8s Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) identifies a strong need for rental assistance within the community. Attached as Exhibit F are copies of the "Needs Assessmenttt and ttStrategiesll sections of the City's 1991.
96 CHAS. The 'INeeds Assessment" summarizes available data on thi most significant current housing needs of very low income, othei low income and moderate income families. The llStrategies@* sectic outlines the general plans and priorities to be pursued over thc five year period of 'the CHAS. This application for funding is ii
compliance with the strategies/priorities outlined within the City of Carlsbad's approved 1991-96 CHAS.
As noted in the CHAS, there are 3104 very low income and 1754 other low income renter households currently residing in Carlsbad. It is estimated that approximately 1,427 of these low income households currently pay more than 50 percent of their income on housing costs. The CHAS also indicates that there are approximately 652 very low income and 314 low income elderly renter households in Carlsbad. It is estimated that 43 percent
(415) of these very low and low income elderly renter household are paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing.
The need for rental assistance is further demonstrated by the fact that the City currently has 1100 households on the Section Waiting List. In order to assist the households waiting for
rental subsidies, the City must obtain additional funding for t
funds will be used to cover the administrative costs of the
33
W 0
program. The HOME funds, requested in this application, will be
used to meet a significant need within the community.

Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) shows that there are st
approximately 3,051 low-income renter households living within the City who are i
need of rental assistance. While rent burden is a struggle for any family, it
particularly troublesome for a family whose head-of-household or spouse is enrolle
in an educational or job training program. For that reason, assistance under the HOM
program wilil be targeted to those very low income families who qualify for a Feder Preference, local priority (residency) and demonstrate a commitment to sel

RE : SOURCE OF MATCHING FUNDS FOR CITY OF CARLSBAD'S 1993 APPLICATION FOR HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS
PROGRAM FUNDING FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Dear Mr. Maddy:
On September 21, 1993, the Housing and Redevelopment Commission authorized the expenditure of a maximum of $250,000 from the
Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Set-Aside
Fund for the purposes of providing a rental assistance program for very low income households. The Commission authorized the
expenditure in combination with Federal HOME Investment
Partnership Program funds to finance the costs of providing the
rental subsidies.
Attached is a copy of the resolution approved by the Housing and
Redevelopment Commission in regard to the above noted action. As
Housing and Redevelopment Director, I am authorized by the
Commission to execute any documents related to commitment of the
LOW and Moderate Income Housing funds for the HOME funded rental
assistance program.
The funds are provided as a grant to the proposed program. Therefore, no repayment is required or expected by the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency.
If you have any questions regarding the commitment of Low and Moderate Income Housing Set-Aside funds, please contact my offic
at (619) 434-2815.
Sincerely,
EVAN E. BECKER

COMPREBISNSIVIS HOUSING AFFORDABILITY STRATEGY (CIIAS)
SECTION I. COMMUNITY PROFILE
PART 1. NEEDS ASSESBXENT
This part summariaea available data on tho most significant
current housing needs of very low Income, other low income and moderate income families and project8 those needs over the fivc
year CEAS period, October 1, 1991 to September 30, 1996. This part also summarizes the most significant current supportive housing needs of homeless persons and others with special need:
A. Housing Assistance Needs
1. Current estimates. Table lA, "Housing Assistance Ne( of Low and Moderate Income Households8o, provides 199
Census data, updated October 1, 1991, for the City o
Carlsbad on housing needs of households of very low
income (0 to 50 percent of county median income) and
other low income (51 to 80 percent of county median income). The data is further analyzed by household
characteristics (elderly, small and large family non
elderly).
Using this information, 51 percent (4,858 households of the total number of renter households in the City Carlsbad are low income. Of this total, 3,104 households are very low income and 1,754 are other 1
income. A significant number of these households are
experiencing cost burdens in terms of housing costs. the low income households, 72 percent (3,509
households) are small family households (two to four
related persons).
According to the 1990 Census, of all renter househol 841 or 8,9% live in overcrowded conditions. This percentage applied to low income renter households would result in 432 households. Overcrowded is defir
as a housing unit containing more than 1.01 person I

2. Five-year Droiections. During the next five years as part of its regional share, the City of Carlsbad is expected to need 2,509 new housing units for lower
income households, of which 1,443 are very Low income
and 1,066 are low income housing units. In accordance with state law, regional share identifies the need fa
new housing units by jurisdiction and distributes tha
need to all income groups: very low whose income does
not exceed 50 percent of regional median, low whose
income is between 50 percent and 80 percent of region
median, moderate whose income is between 80 and 120
income exceeds 120 percent of regional median.
Foreseeable changes in housing needs that may result
from those employed or expected to be employed in the
City, but not currently residing there, are
incorporated into the San Diego Association of
Government's (SANDAG) regional share calculation. Foreseeable changes therefore would be reflected in t
City's total regional share of 6,273 housing units fc
the time frame of this CHAS.
As calculated by SANDAG, the City of Carlsbad is
expected to assist 1,125 lower income households dur the next five years as part of its fair share. Fair
share calculations utilize both the existing need an1 the projected need based on growth. Housing units fo

The homeless youth population includes both runaway i
throwaway youth. Regionally, urban homeless youth
account for approximately 25 percent of all homeless Many of these youths, about 20 percent of the 25 percent, are within the family units described above The balance, about 6 percent of the 25 percent, are teenagers on their own.
Adults account for approximately 75 percent of the
urban homeless. This homeless category includes
families and single adults. The majority of single
adults are young males seeking employment. Approximately-40 percent of urban single-homeless me are veterans. About 25 percent of the single adults
female and 5 percent are elderly.
It is estimated that 33 percent of the single-homele adult population suffer from severe and persistent
mental illness. Evidence indicates that up to 50
percent of the County's homeless adult population ma
be active substance abusers. Data is currently unavailable regarding racial/ethnic status of homele special needs by family type, and special needs by

services (i.e., job counseling/training), mental heal services and general health services. Existing servic
agencies indicate that a growing need exists for
limited-term shelter or transitional facilities for
homeless individuals and families.
The special needs of homeless mentally ill, alcohol a drug abusers, victims of domestic violence and runawa
and throwaway youth are group specific. Mentally ill homeless persons require housing supported by mental health care and counseling. Alcohol and drug abusers
require treatment facilities and programs and medical and social. support. Victims of domestic violence need
shelter and social services, related to making the
transition to independent living. Runaway and reject€
youths required shelter and counseling and social
services related to reintegrating them with their families or enabling them to live independently. For

2. At-risk Dopulation. The "at-risk" population are low
income families and individuals who, upon loss of employment, would lose their housing and end up residing in shelters or being homeless. Lower income
families, especially those that earn less than 30 percent of the regional median income, are at risk o
becoming homeless. These families generally are
experiencing a cost burden of paying more than 30
percent of their income for housing or more likely,
severe cost burden of paying more than 50 percent of
their income for housing. Based on regional percenta
reported in the 1987 American Housing Survey, there an estimated 1,427 low income renter households payi more than 50 percent of their income on housing in t

City of Carlsbad. These households are at risk of becoming homeless.
But it is not only the very low income households whi are at risk. According to Lomas Mortgage USA, San Die is the second least affordable city in the nation for
housing. Sudden unemployment in a two-income family c
precipitate homelessness because there is no lower cc
housing available for the family. Overall, Harvard
University estimates that nationally the average
household is just four paychecks away from being
homeless.
The at-risk population also includes individuals who are in imminent danger of residing in shelters or be:
unsheltered because they lack access to permanent
housing and do not have an adequate support network,
such as parental family or relatives into whose home:
they could temporarily reside. These individuals, especially those being released from penal, mental 01 substance abuse facilities, require social services
that help them make the transition back into society
and remain off the streets. Needed services include counseling, rental assistance and job traininglassistance.
Supportive Housing Needs for Others with Special Neet
1. Current estimates. The following information wa
C.
gathered from a variety of sources. It is
typically regional in scope due to the lack of more specific local data.
a. Elderly and frail elderly. Table 1A provid
1990 Census data for the City on elderly
households. It shows that there are approximately 966 low income elderly rente
households. Based on regional percentages, percent of low income elderly renter households are estimated to pay more than
percent of their income for housing. The
health and social needs of these elderly a
significantly impacted when so much of the
limited resources goes to housing.
According to the San Diego County Area Age
on Aging, the population over 65 years of
has four main concerns:
(1) Income - people over 65 are usually
retired and liviny on a fixed income
which is typically half that of those under 65.
64
e I I 0 0
(2) Health Care - because the elderly have higher rate of illness, easy access to health care facilities is crucial.
Transportation - many seniors utilize public transportation. However, 13.8 percent of individuals age 65+ have a
public transportation disability which necessitates the use of other modes of
transportation,
(3)
(4) Housing - of those over 65 years of ag
40 percent rent and 25 percent live
alone (county-wide figure).
These characteristics indicate the need for
smaller, low cost housing units which have
easy access to public transportation and
health care facilities. These factors shou.
guide the development of new housing for 14 income elderly households.
The housing needs of the elderly include
supportive housing, such as intermediate c
facilities, group homes, Single Room
Occupancy (SRO) housing and other housing
that includes a planned service component.
Needed services include personal care, housekeeping, meals, personal emergency response and transportation. A social work should assist the elderly returning to the community from a health care institution.
Supportive services for households of the
elderly and frail elderly are provided, in part, by the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) in
San Diego County. The major goals of AAA a
to secure maximum independence for the
elderly, to prevent unnecessary institutionalization, to reduce isolation loneliness, to improve health and well bej
to assist the vulnerable or frail elderly,
and to ensure quality of life in long-terr
facilities.
The AAA services include meals at senior centers, meals to homebound seniors, lega: assistance, in-home support adult day cart transportation, and part-time employment. These are made available through contract! with service providers. The AAA also offe.
services through an Information and Refer
Program and a Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. Case management services include

Multi-purpose Senior Services Program, the Linkages Program, a Management and Assessmt of Social and Health needs program, and an AIDS Waiver Program.
b. Persons with Dhvsical disabilities. Based t
the SANDAG factor of 7 percent of the tota
population having a disability, it is estimated that there are 2,500 households with a physical disability in the City of Carlsbad. This segment of the population i
increasing due to lower death rates and higher longevity rates resulting from
advances in medicine. The special needs
required for housing physically disabled individuals include not only affordability but also special construction features to provide for access and use according to th particular disability of the occupant. The location of housing for disabled people is also important because many such household
need access to a variety of sociql service
throughout the County.
In addition to the housing needs of physically disabled persons described abov
there should be support services designed

c. Persons with mental illness.
The following section provides conservatih
estimates of need based on the California
Department of Mental Health standard that
to two percent of persons in the general
population suffer a serious mental illness
from serious and persistent mental illnes: Carlsbad, based on the City's 1990 Census
adult population of 49,499. Among persons
suffer from serious and persistent mental
illness, there is a substantial need for
stable, decent housing.
The lack of access to this basic need oftc leads to mentally ill persons being hornel(
near-homeless, or living in unstable and/(
substandard housing situations. It is
estimated by the Regional Task Force on t
Homeless that one-third of persons who ar
There are an estimated 990 adults who sufl

r 0 0
homeless also suffer from serious and persistent mental illness. An estimated 50
percent of the homeless mentally ill also have substance abuse problems.
The major barrier to stable, decent housinq
for the seriously mentally ill is the availability of affordable housing. A
substantial majority of persons in this population depend solely on Social Securiti
Insurance payments of approximately $600 pt
month. Based on federal housing standards,
affordable rent payments would be slightly
over $200. Relative to their income, few
persons in this population can afford rent:
housing on the open market.
Of those persons living in the urban san
Diego County area who are being served by ! Diego Mental Health Services (SDMHS), approximately 80 percent of clients have ai annual income of $12,000 or less - an incoi somewhat below the $13,600 maximum annual gross income for the Section 8 program.
d. Persons with develoDmenta1 disabilities. A:
Board XIII, the advocacy organization for developmentally disabled persons in San Dil
County, states that 25,450 to 54,620
developmentally disabled persons reside in
San Diego County. Historically, housing fo developmentally disabled persons in group
homes is cited in the Annual Program
Development Fund Needs Assessment.
However, the Department of Developmental
Services in Sacramento reports, in its rec
study, that there are 25,450 developmental
disabled adults in San Diego County.
The San Diego County Regional Center (SDCR prepares a Resource Development Plan annua which is presented to the State Department
Developmental Services. SDCRC's philosophy that all developmentally-disabled adults P are unable to live on their own should res in group homes with 6 or less persons. SDC
reports that in the past year there were a
least 49 developmentally disabled persons
whose housing needs were left unmet for sj months .
#
e. Persons with HIV infection and with AIDS.
following provides a rough estimate of
67
e 0
current and future housing assistance needs for persons living in San Diego County with the HIV infection, and with AIDS. These estimates are based on assumptions rather than solid data. The figures should be regarded as a "best guess1* given current knowledge, particularly when they are broke down into small numbers by individual
jurisdictions .
Most available HIV/AIDS planning documents
have not attempted to estimate or project
housing needs. Several reports, however, ha estimated that 5 percent of all people with
HIV infection may need 90 days temporary
shelter during the course of a year, and th
5 percent of persons with AIDS need group
home or long-term residential placement of to 12 months. (The numerical data in this section was obtained from the Office of AIt Coordination, Department of Health Services
County of San Diego.)
Countv-wide Estimate. It is estimated that there are nearly 30,000 persons with HIV
infection in San Diego County. Five percenl
of that total would indicate that 1,450 to
1,500 people with HIV infection will need !
is 130,000 to 135,000 bed-days or a daily
average of 350 to 370 beds. This number WOI still be within the expected range for 199;
1995.
To estimate the number of people living wi.
AIDS in the County of San Diego, figures a extrapolated from the State projections fo.
1991 and 1992. These assume a similar grow in numbers of persons living with AIDS through 1995.
Estimates by SDecific Jurisdictions. The o
basis to estimate distribution of HIV
infection and/or AIDS by jurisdiction with
the County is through zip code analysis of individual's place of residence at the tin of their diagnosis. Assumptions must be ma
that this distribution does not change ovc
time, and that HIV infection is distribute
in the same proportions as AIDS case
reporting.
The percentage of cumulative case reportii in the City of Carlsbad, as a percentage c
days of temporary shelter ddng 1991, thal
68
I e 0
the regional total, is .9 percent. This translates to 20 cases when applied to the County case total of 2,211. This proportion of the County-wide estimates is also applicable in terms of 90-day shelter and long-term housing needs for 1991. Long-term housing need estimates for those with HIV
should be increased 33 percent annually through 1995.
f. Foster Children. The County Foster Care
Program is financed by the State of California. Under this program, a licensed
family may receive $350 - $500 a month for
each foster child. The average number of
monthly placements of foster children rose
6,283 in 1989-90 from 2,781 placements in
1984-85, an increase of 126 percent. There
are currently 6,283 children in foster car1 (The numerical data in this section was obtained from the Office of Child Services Department of Health Services, County of Sq Diego. )
Inadequate housing for families seeking
foster care placement is not significant. '
housing needs of foster children are great1 when the foster child reaches the age of 1 years and no longer qualifies for State- funded foster care. It is estimated that o third of those currently in foster care wi become homeless when they reach the age of years.
According to the Child Services Division o the County of San Diego Health Services Department, rental assistance is the best
to prevent homelessness among foster care children reaching the age of 18 years. However, given the limited funding and
constraints involved with federally-fundec
rental assistance programs, it is not
currently possible to target federal rent:
assistance to this population.
g. Families ParticiDatina in Self-Sufficiencl Prouram. The City Housing Authority (CHA) does not yet have an estimate of the numbt of households currently on the federal

The City has requested a copy of the "self- sufficiency program" legislation from the

SECTION 11. BIVE YEAR STRATEGY
PART 3. STRATEGIES
This part states the City of Carlsbad's general plans and
priorities to be pursued over the five year period (1991-1996) the CBAS. It flows from the City of Carlsbad's overall analpsia of needs and market and inventory conditions, as described in
Carlsbad's action plan for addressing imbalances between its needs for housing assistance and its affordable housing and supportive housing and services inventory.
Parts 1 and 2. The five year strategy Uesoribes the city of
A. General Policv Stratesv
It is the general policy of the City of Carlsbad to assisl low and very low income groups as a first priority througl: use of available Federal, State and local resources. In accordance with state law, a very low income household is one whose gross household income does not exceed 50 percei of the median income for San Diego County, which is currently $41,300 for a family of four. A low income household is one whose gross household income is between ! and 80 percent of the median income for San Diego County.
The regional housing needs statement for San Diego reflec a greatly increased need for housing opportunities in the low and very low income ranges. The regional need stateme indicates that Carlsbad's share of low income housing sho be 40% of its new development within the next five years.
service jobs in Carlsbad, the demand for housing in these traditional lower-wage earner occupations will increase. regional housing needs statement indicates that the City Carlsbad will need to provide 2,509 housing units over th next five years for low income (including 1,066 for very income) households.
Due to the future growth of industrial, retail, office an
B. PRIORITIES FOR ASSISTANCE
The City of Carlsbad has a significant need for construct or creation of new housing units which are affordable to
and very low income households. As stated previously, it estimated that the City will need approximately 2500 unit
of new housing for low and very low income households OVE the next five years (1991-1996). Consequently, our first priority for assistance will be construction or creation
objective is $0 provide 1,125 units of new affordable housing. However, tho City ha8 committed to providing a
new affordable housing units. Our regional v'fairahare"

total of at least 1400 units of new housing affordable to
low and very low income hous8holds.
Where appropriate and consistent with federal regulations
for the Community Development Block Grant Program and stat regulations for the use of Redevelopment Tax Increment funds, these financing sources will be used to create additional housing units for low and very low income
and moderate rehabilitation, 3) in-kind public improvemen1
and/or 4) provide rental or homebuyer assistance programs, The City will also fund public service agencies which provide programs related to and supporting physical community revitalization and/or housing development
activities.
Outlined below are the programs to be financed by the Cit! of Carlsbad during the next five years in an effort to
provide low and very low income households with affordablc
housing. These priorities are based on the identified neec
for assistance among all subgroups of low and very low
income persons and an assessment of the resources likely * be available during the five year period of this CHAS:
1. Develop new construction, provide substantial
households through 1) new housing production, 2) substantj
rehabilitation and related infrastructure.
"New construction" refers to the acquisition of land
and the development of housing units, either single
family or multi-family. ttSubstantial rehabilitation" refers to the improvement of a property (housing uni
in accordance with Section 8 Housing Quality Standar
The City will complete substantial rehabilitation wh necessary to provide housing to low and very low inc households that is decent, safe, sanitary and affordable. "Related infrastructure" means street, underground water and sewer systems, drainage system
electrical supply lines, etc. needed to support a housing development.
Acquisition of facilities/housing units and moderate rehabilitation.
"Acquisition of facilities/housing units" refers to City participation in the purchase of existing housi
units, such as apartments, condominiums or townhomea or other buildings suitable for temporary shelter. 1: units purchased would provide affordable housing for
moderate, low and very low income households (with particular emphasis on low and very low income households). '@Moderate Rehabilitation" means rehabil

Quality Standards, or other standards acceptable to t
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Provide rantal and/or home buyer assistance.
"Rental assistance" may mean providing a tenant with
financial assistance (tenant-based) m restricting tk
rent of a given rental unit to no more than 30 percer
of gross income (project-based). A t'home buyer
assistancetv program may include counseling on variouz topics such as 1) family budget planning, 2) the homc
purchase market and 3) methods of financing a home.
Also, the program may include various forms of financial assistance, perhaps in the form of interesl
subsidies.
Provide support facilities and services.
"Support facilities and servicesgg are defined as tho! facilities/services which either assist residents to
obtain/maintain affordable housing in Carlsbad and/o.
provide temporary shelter for the homeless, near homeless and/or migrant famworkers.
Below is the narrative analysis of CHAS Table 3 "Priorities fo Assistance Among Different Categories of Low and Very Low Incoi Households With Needs For Assistance":
In establishing its priorities, the City of Carlsbad has considered not only who among the various categories of low income households are most in need of assistance but also whic
of the assistance programs outlined above will best meet the
housing needs of the identified households. The priorities emerged from many considerations, among them the City's analys of its housing stock and market conditions, its analysis of th relative housing needs of its low and very low income families
and its assessment of the resources likely to be available ove

guide; tho priorities may be amended a8 needed in.coordinatioa with the U.8. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
LOW INCOME ELDERLY RENTER HOUSEHOLDS
A low income elderly household is defined as: a one or two per
household containing at least one person of 62 years of age
and/or a non-elderly handicapped individual, including those
currently institutionalized but who are capable of "group homc living, with a gross household income which is less than 80

percent of the county median for San Diego ($41,300); this
* amounts to $33,050 for a family of four.
The following program priorities have been set for this group o
households:
Level 1 priority: develop new construction, substantial
Level 2 priority:
Level 3 priority:
rehabilitation, related infrastructure
provide moderate rehabilitation and/or acquisition of facilities/units
provide rental or homebuyer assistance and/or develop support facilities and services
There are approximately 652 very low income and 314 low income elderly renter households in Carlsbad. It is estimated that 43 percent (415) of these very low and low income elderly renter
households are paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing. The characteristics of persons over the age of 65 yea]
of age indicate that they have a need for smaller, low cost housing units which provide easy access to public transportatic
and health care facilities. These factors will guide the
development of new housing in Carlsbad for low income householc
The second best way to assist this group is through moderate rehabilitation of existing housing suitable for renting.
It is also estimated that there are 2,500 households in Carlsb( with a physical disability. The special needs required for
housing physically disabled individuals include not only
affordability but also special construction features to provid
for access and use according to the particular disability of t
occupant.
LOW INCOME NON-ELDERLY, SMALL FAMILY RENTER HOUSEHOLDS
There are 2212 very low and 1,297 low income, small famkly (2- persons), renter households in Carlsbad; this represents 72
percent of the total number of low income renter households. I is estimated that 1,427 low income renter households pay more than 50 percent of their income on housing in Carlsbad. Also, is estimated that 8.9 percent of low income renter households Carlsbad live in overcrowded conditions.
The following program priorities have been set for this group households:
Level 1 priority: Provide moderate rehabilitation and/c

Level 3 priority: Provide rental or homebuyer assistance

A quick and less expensive method for providing affordable housing to this group of households is through purchase of existing units and preservation by moderate rehabilitation. A second method for assisting this group is construction of new
units, substantial rehabilitation and related infrastructure.
LOW INC OMS NON-ELDERLY, LARGE FAMILY REWI'ER HO USEHOLD@
There are approximately 240 very low and 143 low income non-
elderly large (5 or more persons) renter households in the Citl
of Carlsbad; this represents an estimated 8 percent of the low income renter households. Presently, their is a shortage of lar
(3 or more bedrooms) rental units in Carlsbad. Consequently, a significant number of these large family households are living overcrowded conditions. There is a need for new construction 01 larger affordable rental units to provide housing assistance tc these households.
It is estimated that 1,427 low income renter households pay mo:
that 50 percent of their income on housing costs.
The following program priorities have been set for this group I
households:
Level 1 priority: develop new construction, substantial rehabilitation, related infrastructuri
Level 2 priority: provide moderate rehabilitation and/o acquisition of units/facilities
Level 2 priority: provide rental or homebuyer assistanc and develop support facilities and services
New construction of larger, more affordable rental units appea to be the best method for serving the needs of this low income
household group because the market does not currently supply a
adequate number of properly sized units for large families in Carlsbad, Larye families currently approved for rental assista
payments through the City of Carlsbad's Section 8 program haw
difficult time locating an appropriately sized rental unit. TI often must locate housing in another city to remain eligible f
the rental assistance.
The second most effective method for providing assistance to 1 group of households is acquisition and rehabilitation of exisl large rental units. At the same time, some form of affordable rental rate guarantees will assist the City in maintaining thc long term affordability of these rehabilitated units. The Cit] would also like to develop a first time homebuyer program to
81

assist low income households in tlmoving outn of the rental mark . and into a more permanent affordable "homen environment,
LOW INCOm HOMELESS PERSONS AND DOCWXENTED MIGRANT FAR&fWORKERS
According to the 1990 census, Carlsbad has approximately 941 homeless persons within the city limits. It is estimated that families account for approximately 33 percent of this homeless
population. These families tend to be resident homeless familic
or transient, intact families headed by a single parent, usual:
a female. Adults account for approximately 75 percent of the
urban homeless; this category includes families and single
adults. The majority of single adults are young males seeking
employment. Approximately 40 percent of urban single-homeless 1
are veterans, about 25 percent of the single adults are female and 5 percent are elderly.
The rural homeless are generally farmworkers and other day
laborers. The majority (95%) of these are males living alone.
However, families are beginning to join them. They need safe a sanitary housing, which could be a congregate living arrangeme
The facility and service needs of homeless families and
individuals are many and varied. Existing service agencies indicate that a growing need exists for limited-term shelter o transitional facilities for homeless individuals and families.
The following program priorities have been set for this group
households:
Level 1 priority:
Level 2 priority:

and moderate rehabilitation

Level 2 priority:
Level 3 priority: develop new construction, substantial
To appropriately assist homeless families and individuals
(including migrant farmworkers), the City must first address 1
most immediate needs for temporary shelter, food, clothing,
social services, etc. Therefore, the first priority will be tl development of adequate support facilities and services. The second priority is to move the homeless into permanent housinc
the most effective method for providing permanent housing appc
to be through acquisition of existing housing units and/or rei
assistancejguarantees. If acquisition of existing units is no
feasible, the City will consider construction of new units to

create additional affordable housing opportunities for the
* homeless; this activity is given a level 3 priority.
&OW INC OMB HOMEtES s WITH SPECIAL NE ED8
It is estimated that 33 percent of single homeless adults suffe
from severe and persistent mental illness. Evidence indicates
that up to SO percent of the homeless population may be active
substance abusers.
The special needs of homeless mentally ill, alcohol and drug abusers, victims of domestic violence and runaway/throwaway youths are group specific.
The following program priority has been set for this group of households:
Level 1 priority: develop support facilities and servicc
It appears that the most effective method for addressing the
needs of homeless persons with special needs is to fund projeci
and/or agencies which provide the specialized services requirec
to assist these households.
LOW INCOME "AT-RISK" HOUSEHOLD8
The I1at-riskt1 households are low income families and individua
who, upon loss of employment, would lose their housing and end
especially those that earn less than 30 percent or less of the median income for San Diego County are especially at risk of
becoming homeless. These households generally are experiencing cost burden of paying more than 50% of their income for housinl
The at-risk population also includes individuals who are in
imminent danger of residing in shelters or being unsheltered
because they lack access to permanent housing and do not have
adequate support networks, such as a parental family or relati whose homes they could temporarily reside. These individual, especially those being released from penal, mental or substanc abuse facilities, require social services to assist them in
making the transition back into society and remain off the streets.
The following program priorities have been set for this group
households:
in shelters or homeless (on the street), Low income families,
Level 1 priority: develop support facilities and servic
Level 2 priority: provide rental assistance
Due to the fact that this group of households has very special
83
W e
immediate needs which can be best addressed through social - service agencies, it appears that the most effective method foi
providing assistance to this group is through the funding of support of facilities and services. After the basic needs have
been met, the City may then provide rental assistance as a
"crisis management" tool.
OTEER LO W XNCOMg E OUSEBOLDS WIT3 SPECIAL NE ED8
The "other households with special needs" category includes
households with persons who are mentally ill, developmentally
disabled, AIDS or HIV infection victims, foster children, and
families eligible to participate in an economic self-sufficienc
program.
The following program priorities have been set for this group I
households:
Level 1 priority: develop support facilities and servic
Level 2 priority: provide rental assistance
Level 3 priority: develop new construction, substantial
rehabilitation and related infrastructure and provide acquisitia of existing housing units and moderat rehabilitation
The first priority for this group is to provide for their
immediate basic needs. The lack of access to basic needs often
lead this group of households to be homeless, near homeless, o
living in unstable and/or substandard housing situations.
Special need individuals require intensive guidance, in most
cases, with monitoring and access to support services to maint
a sense of independence. The second priority is to provide ren
assistance when needed to create access for this group to affordable housing. Our third priority is to provide additiona
affordable housing units through new construction and/or
acquisition and rehabilitation of existing market units and,
ultimately, guaranteeing their future affordability.
ALL OTHER L OW INCOME RENTER HOUSEHOLDS
At the time this strategy was developed, the City had no
information on the specific needs of "other low income renter
households" in Carlsbad. Therefore, for purposes of setting priorities, we have assumed that the needs of all other low
income renter households are similar to those of the "small, 1
income renter household. The following program priorities haw
been set for group of households:
Level 1 priority: Provide moderate rehabilitation and/c acquisition of units/facilities
84
> W 0
Level 2 priority: Develop new construction, substantial
Level 3 priority:
rehabilitation, related infrastructure
Provide rental or homebuyer assistance and/or develop support facilities and services
It appears that the quickest and least expensive method for
providing affordable housing to this group of households is
through purchase of existing units and preservation by moderate
rehabilitation. The second most effective means to assisting tl- group is construction of new units, substantial rehabilitation
and related infrastructure.
EXISTING LOW INCOME HOMEOWNERS AND FIRST TIME LOW INCOME BOMEBI
At the time this strategy was developed, the City had no information on the specific needs of low income households who
own their home. Therefore, for purposes of setting priorities 1 this group of households, we have assumed that the primary nee( of this group are 1) support facilities and services for low income households who may be in jeopardy of losing their homes
2) rehabilitation for long-time homeowners; and, 3) homebuying assistance for households who would like to purchase a home foi
the first time. The following program priorities have been
established for this group of households:
Lona-Time Homeowners:
Level 1 priority: Support Facilities and Services long-time homeowners who may be jeopardy of losing their home
for long-time homeowners with substandard units
Develop new construction, substantial rehabilitation, rela
infrastructure
Level 2 priority! Moderate RehabilitationjAcquisit
Level 3 priority:
First-Time Homebuvers with and without children:
Level 1 priority: Providing first-time homebuyer assistance to qualifying low inc households
Develop new construction,
substantial rehabilitation, relz
infrastructure
Level 1 priority:
Level 3 priority: Moderate Rehabilitation/Acquisil
85
0 m
Level 3 priority: Develop support facilities and
services
For low income households who currently own their home, it is assumed, for purposes of this strategy, that their needs center
around maintaining their home (in both structural and financial terms). Therefore, it appears that our primary focus for
assistance to this group should be rehabilitation of substandar
and/or near substandard housing units and financial counseling
objective of the city will be to assist homeowners to maintain
their existing homes. However, if an existing unit cannot be
rehabilitated or the cost of the home is simply too expensive f
the household, the City will consider the provision of relocati
assistance - to help the household locate a more affordable
housing unit. Construction of new units for existing homebuyers
receives only a level 3 priority.
For low income households (with or without children) who would
like to own their home, the primary need is assumed to be . financing. It is often difficult for low income households wit1
no previous homeownership history to obtain financing to purchi
a home. The City's primary form of assistance for this group ol households will be a "first-time homebuyer assistance program.'
As part of their Community Reinvestment Act requirements, the
City will work with local financial institutions to develop a financing program for first-time low income homebuyers. Since
there is also a shortage of housing units available which are affordable to low income homebuyers, the City will also give h: priority to the new construction of housing units.
The City may consider, as a level 3 priority, the acquisition i
rehabilitation (if necessary) of existing condominiums, townhoi
or single family homes for the purposes of t9resalet8 to low incc
households. If the City identifies support facilities and services which can provide assistance to low income first-time homebuyers, we will consider funding for them.

This part explains the extent to which the costs or incentives develop, maintain or improve affordable housing in the City of
Carlsbad are affected by local or state public policies, as embodied in statutes, ordinances, regulations or administrativ procedures and processes.
Although development constraints apply to all housing producti they significantly impact housing that is affordable to low
income households. Table 3A outlines the governmental and non-
governmental "constraints and mitigating opportunities" which
have been identified by the City of Carlsbad as part of our Housing Element. These "constraints and mitigating opportunitj are discussed in more detail in "Section Three" of the Carlsbi

D. PROGRAMS, SER VXCES AND SPECIAL I NITIATIVB STRATEGIES
This part describe8 the program8 and services to be provided, 1 the aped81 initiative8 to be undertaken, to implement the cit of Carlsbad's five year strategy to provide affordable housing
for low and very low income households and supportivo housing homelesrr persons and other person8 with special needs.
Due to the anticipated lack of adequate program funding, the C of Carlsbad will, most likely, not be able to meet/address all the needs of the groups/households identified within this five
year strategy section. However, every effort will be made to
provide housing assistance to as many low income persons
(including those with special needs and the homeless) as possi
during the next five year period (1991-96). Highlighted below programs and activities which represent the strategy to be use
by the City to address the specific affordable housing needs o low and very low income households (including those with speci needs and the homeless) in Carlsbad:
PROGRAN #l AND f2:
TO INCREASE THE SUPPLY OF STANDARD, AFFORDABLE HOUSING THROUGH
THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW UNITS AND ACQUISITION AND/OR
REHABILITATION OF EXISTING HOUSING UNITS.
Strategy Summary:
Acauisition and Rehabilitation: The City/Redevelopment Agency
will acquire deteriorating and substandard rental housing fron
private owners, utilizing various local, state and federal funding sources for rehabilitation. Of the rental units acquix for rehabilitation, approximately 20% will be set-aside for households in the very low income range. The remaining 80% wil be set-aside for households in the low and moderate income rar
New Housincr Development:
primarily achieved through private/publio sector partnership
efforts. The City will assist in the effort by 1) modifying cc
and standards which will reduce the cost of housing but retair
quality design and architecture; 2) ensuring that there is
sufficient developable acreage in all residential densities tc
provide varied housing types for all economic ranges; 3) encouraging adaptive reuse of older commercial or industrial
buildings for combined living/working spaces; 4) encouraging increased integration of housing with non-residential development.

communities and qualif led subdivisions will place responsibilit-
upon private developers to be part of the "affordable housing
crisis" solution by building low income affordable units within all new housing developments.
The City has also assumed responsibility itself for producing/ creating at least 200 units of new housing over the next five years. Of the 200 new units, a minimum of 100 will be made
available to very low income households. At this time, the City expects to produce/create these new units by purchasing existin
housing units and guaranteeing their long term affordability and/or direct participation in the construction of new very low income affordable housing units.
Lame Family Unit Development: In those developments where the City requires the developer to include 10 or more units of
of the total units will be required to have 3 or more bedrooms.
Senior Housina DeveloBment: The City will study the feasibiliti
of creating one or more,low income senior housing projects in Carlsbad in an effort to provide 200 additional units of housix
for this group.
Inclusionarv Housina Reauirement for Affordable Housina: The Cj
will require that a minimum of 15 percent of all units approvec
for any master plan community, residential specific plan or qualified subdivision be affordable to low income households. : it is economically not feasible to build the required units, t'
developer may be able to make an in-lieu contribution consisti
of funds, land or some other asset to the City for use in
providing shelter to low income households. The City will cond
a study to determine the appropriate in-lieu contribution to b
paid by developers who cannot, in fact, build the required uni
affordable units will be created through this inclusionary housing requirement.
Lower Income Housina Development Incentives: The City will develop a "density bonus ordinance" which will permit a minimu
density bonus of 25 percent and one or more additional economi incentives or concessions in return for a developer guaranteei that a minimum of 50 percent of the units for seniors or other
special need households or 20 percent of the units for low inc
households or 10 percent of the units for very low income
households. These units must remain affordable for a period 01
not less than 30 years.
The City will also consider development standards for alternal housing types, such as hotels, managed living units, homeless shelters and farm worker housing. The City will authorize
alternative housing projects through a Conditional Use Permit
Special Use Permit.

Priority will be given to the housing needs for low income households (incl. handicapped, seniors, large family and very low income) in the guidance provided to the private sector for new housing construction and for the use of city funds.
Smaller Housinu DeVelODment: The Planning Department will study the relationship between the size of houses, lot sizes, density
and construction and development costs. The study will present findings together with recommendations on: 1) minimum sizes for
permitted substandard lots; 2) the appropriate floor areas for
associated houses; and, 3) the applicability of providing den&
bonuses as to achieve reduced development costs.
Land Bankina: The City will implement a land banking program under which it will acquire land suitable for development of housing affordable to low income households. This land will be used to reduce the costs of producing housing affordable to 101 income households to be developed by the City or other parties
Housinu Trust Fund: The city will create a Housing Trust fund facilitate the construction and rehabilitation of affordable
housing for low income households.
Enerw Conservation: The City will promote energy and resource conservation in all new housing development.

Carlsbad. Finally, a public workshop was held on January 15, 19
to discuss the programs needed to create new affordable housing
units. City Council, Planning Commission and Design Review Boar
(Redevelopment) members were present to discuss the issues and provide direction to city staff.
Housing and Redevelopment Staff has also developed two (2)

Elected offici2 (City Council) have agreed to take the political actions necessary to create affordable housing in Carlsbad. vowever, tl problems associated with the NIMBY (Not-In-My-Back-Yard) syndrc need to be addressed through education programs in order to reduce the amount of opposition to specific projects which wil be presented at later dates.
Due to financial constraints, the City of Carlsbad is limited its ability to meet all of the housing needs of low income
households. However, a sincere effort will be made to combine city resources with private industry and nonprofit agency resources to meet as much of the need as financially feasible
within the time period identified within this CHAS.
The City will also be legally constrained in solving the undocumented migrant worker housing and related human service needs. These unmet needs are a result of Federal legal, financ and structural limitations which prevent Federal, State and IC agencies from legally providing certain services to undocument individuals.
Presently, the process for reviewing and approving affordable housing projects is very time-consuming. The City must impleml changes to the process in order to create affordable housing
units in a more timely fashion.
The delay in providing new rental assistance payments to low
income households also presents a problem. The federal
regulations and lack of adequate funding for the City's Secti Rental Assistance Program create significant constraints to providing quick access to the assistance. The City currently
not have an emergency housing payment program. However, the C
has provided funding to a local nonprofit organization to prc counseling and services coordination assistance to those
who are proposing various affordable housing projects in

Through regular meetings, the City will continue to identify ti
constraints to affordable housing and develop/implement prograi
to mitigate them. The key to successful development of affordal housing for low income households in Carlsbad is communication flexibility and adequate funding. The City will communicate
openly with private developers and service providers as well a!
make every effort to maintain the flexibility in policies and/c
ordinances necessary to create public/private housing developmc partnerships.
The City will also develop an on-going monitoring system to
assess its progress towards meeting the affordable housing goa outlined within this strategy and the Housing Element on an
annual basis. The monitoring system will allow the City to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the various programs
implemented to create affordable housing for low income
households.
