Strategy and Plan for the Community Development Block Grant/HOME Program to the U.S. Department

ITEM EXPLANATION:
On March 24, 1998, the City Council selected the organizations to receive funding under the City’s
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program for fiscal year
1998-99. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the preparation of an
annual housing planning document as a condition to receiving CDBG and HOME funding.
The annual plan must include the following: 1) Standard Form 424-Application for Federal Assistance; 2)
Description of activities to be undertaken to address priority housing and community development needs
and local objectives; 3) Activities to address the housing needs of homeless; and 4) Actions to foster and
maintain affordable housing. The City has prepared the annual plan, also known as the Consolidated
Funding Strategy and Plan, for fiscal year 1998-99 in accordance with the federal regulations for the
consolidated submission for community planning and development programs.
Regulations for the Consolidated Plan require a period not less than thirty (30) days for the public to
review and comment on the Consolidated Plan. The “public review and comment” period for the 1998-99
Consolidated Plan was initiated on March 30, 1998. Comments were accepted until April 30, 1998. All
comments received regarding the housing and community development needs of the community, projects
submitted for CDBG/HOME funding, and the City’s Consolidated Plan are included within Appendix B of
the Annual Consolidated Plan.
The 1998-99 Consolidated Plan is presented to the City Council, at this time, to approve the submittal of
the City’s 1998-99 Consolidated Plan for the Community Development Block Grant/HOME program to the
U.S. Department of HUD. In order to remain eligible for CDBG/HOME funding in fiscal year 1998-99, the
City of Carlsbad must submit the Annual Consolidated Plan to the U. S. Department of HUD by May 15,
1998.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City of Carlsbad will receive an estimated new allocation of $606,000 in CDBG funds for program
year 1998-99. An additional $32,996.80 in CDBG funds is also available for reallocation from previously
approved, canceled or completed projects. The City may use a maximum of twenty percent (20%) of the
new allocation, or $121,200, for administration of the CDBG and HOME program. The CDBG Program
has no impact on the General Fund. A grant agreement for these funds will not be executed by the U.S.
Department of HUD until the City’s 1998-99 Consolidated Plan has been submitted to their office for
review and approval.
EXHIBITS:
I, Resolution No. 98-l YZ authorizing the Housing and Redevelopment Director to submit a
Consolidated Funding Plan Strategy for 1998-99 to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban

B. Projected Financial Resources to be Avaiiable
The financial resources for addressing housing and community development needs are fairly limited for
the City of Carlsbad. To ultimately reach the vision and goals of the City, a variety of resources must
be used to achieve each objective. Limited City resources must be leveraged with additional funds
from private and public sources and programs.
The City’s policy is to leverage, to the maximum extent feasible, the use of funds available in the
development of affordable housing and the maintenance and preservation of existing housing which
serve identified needs categories. The City supports the use of CDBG, HOME, and Redevelopment
Set-Aside funds for predevelopment activities and “gap financing” by private and non-profit entities in
their efforts to develop affordable housing. The City will consider the utilization of Redevelopment
Housing. Set Aside Funds to further affordable housing goals whenever a match, grant, or loan is
necessary and appropriate to ensure the financial feasibility of a project. Criteria for the leveraging of
funds will be the ratio of federal funds to other funds.
The City anticipates that the following resources will be available for 1998-99:

FY 1998-99 Action Plan Page 9 19
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED FUNDING STRATEGY & PLAN
1. Affordable Housing Activities
Approximately 523 non-homeless households, families, and individuals are expected to receive housing
services in 1998-99 through the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program, new construction, first time
home buyer program, and single family residential rehabilitation. Nearly 96 percent of this number is
expected to be very low income households whose income is below 50 percent of the median family
income for San Diego County. The following describes the specific plan for investment the City
reasonably expects to be-available this upcoming program year.
a. Section 8 Rental Assistance Program
The 1998-99 Section 8 Rental Assistance Program budget includes a total of $2,527,392 for housing
assistance payments and $335,420 for administrative fees ($2,882,872 total). This budget will allow
the city to continue to provide rental assistance to a total of 503 very low-income households during
fiscal year 1998-99. The City has approved contracts with appropriate property owners to commit these
payments.
With the proposed cuts in the budget for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s
Section 8 Rental Assistance Program, it is expected that no additional Section 8 certificates/vouchers
will be available for 1998-99.
b. New Construction of Rental Units
The City will assist in the financing of a construction project known as the Laurel Tree Apartments.
To date, the City has committed to provide $700,000 in Redevelopment Low Income Housing Set
Aside and Housing Trust Funds to meet the matching funds requirement of the HOME program.
The Laurel Tree Apartment project will provide approximately 138 new housing units, with 128 units
affordable to very low-income households. The units will vary in size from one bedroom units to four
bedroom units, accommodating single persons, and small and large related households. It is envisioned
that 14 one bedroom units will be provided, 64 two bedroom units, 46 three bedroom units, and 14
four bedrooms units.
City Council approved this project in October 1995. MAAC Project, the non-profit housing developer,
has received financing for Laurel Tree Apartments. It is anticipated that construction on Laurel Tree
Apartments will begin in the Summer of 1998 and units will be available for occupancy by Fall 1999.
The City Council has agreed to provide construction financing for the Ranch0 Carrillo Apartments.
The City will provide up to $1.16 million from the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund to assist in
the construction of 116 units affordable to very low and low tenants. The units will consist of 12 one-
bedroom units, 48 two-bedroom units and 56 three-bedroom units. The project was approved by the
City Council in February of 1998. Construction is anticipated to begin in September of 1998 and
available for occupancy in the fall of 1999.
C. New Construction of Owner Occupied Units
The City is intends to assist with the development costs of a for sale residential project known as Sambi
Seaside Heights. To date, the City has committed to provide $453,600 from the City’s Affordable
Housing Trust Fund to this project.
Sambi Seaside Heights would provide approximately 235 new housing units, with 42 units affordable to
low-income households. The units will vary in size from two bedroom to three bedroom units,
Page 10 FY 1998-99 Action Plan
CITY OF G.ARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED FUNDING STRATEGY & PLAN
accommodating small and large related households. It is envisioned that 12 two bedroom units and 30
three bedrooms units will be provided. No date for construction on Sambi Seaside Heights has been
established.
The City council has also’ggreed to provide $75,000 from the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund to
assist in the development of five four-bedroom single family homes in Calavera Hills. The units will
include 1,800 square feet of living are and a two car garage. The units will be available for purchase
by low income households. No date for construction has been established.
d. Single Family Residential Rehabilitation
A single family residential rehabilitation program is currently being administered by the County of San
Diego on behalf of the City of Carlsbad. This residential rehabilitation program targets very low and
low-income single family homeowners, including mobile homes. The program provides two types of
loans, an interest subsidy loan and a deferred loan. For the interest subsidy loans, the City’s funds will
be leveraged with funds from a private financial institution. The financial institution will provide
conventional financing with the City paying part of the interest rate to offer qualified lower-income
household a below market interest loan. Deferred loans will be made by the City to lower-income
households who cannot qualify for conventional financing. The loan will be offered with no interest
and will be repaid upon change in title of the property. Grants will be provided to elderly or
handicapped households for rehabilitation regarding health and safety issues and to lower-income
households for weatherization.
There is an existing balance of approximately $281,600 as of April 1, 1998 in previously allocated
HOME Consortium funds for the rehabilitation of single family homes. These funds will be able to
provide assistance to twelve (12) single family home owners and four (4) mobilehome owners.
The City has approximately $210,183 in new funding available from the County of San Diego HOME
Consortium for the single family and multifamily residential rehabilitation program. With limited
resources allocated for this program, it is anticipated that ten (10) additional lower-income households
will be assisted with residential rehabilitation in fiscal year 1998-99.
e. Homebuyer Programs
As a participant in the San Diego County Regional Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) program,
MCCs are available for first-time home buyers in the City of Carlsbad. The MCC program allows a
first time home buyer to take a federal income tax credit of 20 percent of the annual interest paid on the
home mortgage. This program will provide MCC’s to primarily moderate-income households and in
some cases lower-income households to help them qualify for a home purchase loan.
As of February 27,1997, the City has a balance of approximately $121,970 in MCC credit, amounting
to approximately five (5) Mortgage Credit Certificates. The San Diego County Regional MCC
Program did apply for additional funding for calendar year 1998. The City of Carlsbad will receive
$93,039 in MCC credit. The City of Carlsbad anticipates that four MCCs will be issued in 1998-99 to
persons purchasing a home in Carlsbad.
Additionally, the City will be providing subsidy assistance to low income first time home buyers
through the Carlsbad Homebuyer Assistance Program (CHAP). The City will provide a maximum of
$20,000 in the form of a non interest bearing loan to bridge the gap between the loan amount a low
income household can qualify for and the purchase price of a home. The term of this loan is 15 years.
FY 1998-99 Action Plan . . Page 11
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED FUNDING STRATEGY & PLAN
Payments will be deferred the first five years of the loan. It is anticipated that the CHAP will be
available by the Fall of 1998.
As of March 31, 1998, the City has $1,365,455 reserved in the Affordable Housing Trust fund for the
CHAP. Approximately 68 low income households will be provided with home buyer assistance.
2. Community Development Activities
In April 1997, the City of Carlsbad evaluated and selected 24 community development proposals,
amounting to $638,996.80, for funding under the federal Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program. The City will be eligible to receive $606,000 in new CDBG funds for 1998-99 to
finance the projects which will assist low and moderate income persons. In addition, the City has
$32,996.80 in CDBG funds which were allocated in previous year to projects which have been
canceled or completed with a surplus of funds and will need to be reallocated to other eligible activities.
The total funds available for allocation in 1998-99 is $638,996.80. A list of the community
development proposals selected for funding in 1998-99 are listed in Table 3-Listing of Proposed
Projects.

CONSOLIDATED FUNDING STRATEGY & PLAN
3. Housing Activities for the Homeless
During 1998-99, the City will attempt to address the needs of homeless individuals, families, or persons
with special needs: severe mental illnesses, drug or alcohol addiction, diagnosed with AIDS or HIV,
fleeing domestic violence and non-homeless persons with special needs through the funding of various
non-profit agencies under Carlsbad’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The
following organizations have been selected for funding during fiscal year 1998-99 and provide-facilities
and services for non-homeless persons with special needs, homeless persons, homeless persons with
special needs, and other low and moderate-income households:

Approximately 1,769 individuals/families, all of whom are from low and moderate-income households,
are anticipated to benefit from the activities, projects, and shelter services which were funded for the
1998-99 fiscal year. Of the 1,769 individuals and families, approximately 485 are considered to be
homeless.
FY 1998-99 Action Plan Page 55
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED FUNDING STRATEGY 8~ PLAN
On September 5, 1995, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring the City of Carlsbad’s intention
to participate with other jurisdictions in the North San Diego County Coastal region to address the
needs of homeless persons and families on a region wide basis. North County jurisdictions and local
social service providers have been meeting to discuss potential projects for the 1998 federal Continuum
of Care Homeless Assistance application. One project being considered for inclusion in the County of
San Diego application is a year round entry level, service enhanced shelter for the homeless to serve
the North County region? The application will be submitted by July 1998. North County jurisdictions,
with the assistance of local social service providers, will continue to meet and work cooperatively to
discuss the region wide approach and various strategies, such as the North County Regional Homeless
Shelter, to address the shelter and supportive service needs of the homeless.
D. Geographic Distribution - All Priorities
The City intends to develop lower-income affordable units throughout the entire city thereby reducing
the impact of housing on any one area within Carlsbad. City staff will be responsible for initiating or
facilitating the development of this housing through agreements with local for-profit and non-profit
housing developers (including agreements to provide City assistance) and through managing/monitoring
the affordability of these housing units in future years.
City resources for the provision, construction, or improvements to public services or facilities to meet
the community development needs will also be distributed throughout the City. The City will also
consider the allocation of resources to public service organizations located outside of the City limits in
those instances where such public services are limited within the San Diego North County Coastal area,
but provide adequate access to Carlsbad residents.
E. Institutional Structure
1. Funding and Incentives for Affordable Housing
The City of Carlsbad has been working with local non-profit organizations and other private entities to
identify sources of funding which may be available for affordable and supportive housing. For
identified federal, state and/or other private sources of funding which may not be available to the City,
other eligible agencies will be encouraged to apply. The City provides a variety of “incentives” to
encourage private, non-profit and/or for-profit housing developers to build housing units in Carlsbad
which are affordable to low and moderate income persons. The City will continue to offer these
“incentives” as well as with local private developers to identify and use all available financing resources
for the purposes of creating new affordable housing units.
To meet “matching funds” requirements of state and/or federal affordable and supportive housing
financing programs, the City will consider the use of redevelopment funds, “in-lieu” fees, private
contributions and/or general city funds. The various “matching fund” requirements will be identified
and considered on a case-by-case basis prior to submitting, or assisting with the submission of an
application, for any federal and/or state housing financing program. The City’s “underwriting” of
specific projects and proposals will be evaluated based on the need being served and the effectiveness
or “leveraging” in the use of City resources.
2. Network Building Activities
The City will continue to be engaged in network-building activities with governmental, for-profit and
non-profit organizations. This will include participation in the San Diego County Non-Profit Housing
and Community Development Federation.
Page 56 FY 1998-99 Action Plan
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED FUNDING STRATEGY & PLAN
The Community Housing Resources Board (CHRB) has been expanded to include more local
governmental involvement with regional affordable housing, fair housing issues and advocacy.
Carlsbad is a member of the CHRB, which is recognized by HUD as a forum to facilitate fair housing
in the San Diego area.
The City will continue to fund an agreement with Heartland Human Relations Association (HHRA) to
provide fair housing s&vices which includes counseling, tenant/landlord mediation, education
seminars, and to mitigate and/or prevent housing discrimination practices.
The City will also continue to be active participants in the North County Homeless Coalition. This
group meets monthly and provides a forum for discussion of current housing issues and other social
service activities.
In a cooperative effort, the City of Carlsbad will continue to meet with other San Diego County
jurisdictions to form a resource information group for such programs as the CDBG program,
Residential Rehabilitation programs, and the Regional MCC (First Time Homebuyer) program. The
City will also continue to encourage and participate in efforts to work collectively and cooperatively
with other San Diego County jurisdictions.
On September 5, 1995, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring the City of Carlsbad’s intention
to participate with other jurisdictions in the North San Diego County Coastal region to address the
needs of homeless persons and families on a region wide basis. North County jurisdictions and local
social service providers have been meeting and working cooperatively together to discuss the region
wide approach and various strategies to address the shelter and supportive service needs of the
homeless. One possible strategy being discussed is the development of a year round entry level,
service enhanced shelter for the homeless.
F. Public Housing Improvements
The City of Carlsbad does not own or operate public housing and, no public housing developments are
proposed for FY 1998.
G. Public Housing Resident Initiatives
The City of Carlsbad does not own or operate public housing and, no public housing developments are
proposed for FY 1998.
H. Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction
The activities and programs to evaluate and reduce lead based paint hazards, and the integration of
lead-based paint hazard reduction in housing policies and programs for the coming year are intended to
remain as described in the Five-Year Strategy.
These strategies include the following:
Strategy 1: Integrate lead hazard evaluation and reduction activities into all housing programs,
particularly residential rehabilitation programs.
Currently, many federal programs have requirements for evaluating and reducing lead hazards. For
those state and local housing and community development programs, the City will pursue the following
activities to evaluate and reduce lead hazards:
FY 1998-99 Action Plan Page 57
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED FUNDING STRATEGY & PLAN
a. Require inspection for and abatement of lead based paint hazards as a
requirement of all residential rehabilitation programs when children
under the age of seven reside in the dwelling unit and have been
identified with elevated blood levels;
b. Include lead based paint hazard abatement as an eligible activity under
the City’s residential rehabilitation programs and add minimum lead
based paint abatement requirements to housing quality standards which
must be met; and
C. Provide all eligible applicants of housing programs, particularly
residential rehabilitation programs, with information regarding lead
based paint.
Strategy 2: Support the development of comprehensive public health programs for the screening
of children for lead poisoning and a follow-up on those identified as lead poisoned.
In accordance with CDC guidelines, all children found to have elevated blood levels (above 20
micrograms per deciliter) should both be provided with public health management services and be
tested every three months. The County of San Diego’s Department of Health Services currently
provides this service. The City should encourage the abatement of lead based paint hazards once a
child under the age of seven is identified as having elevated blood levels. CDBG can be used to help
the City or other organizations in developing a comprehensive approach to lead poisoning prevention.
Strategy 3: Provide public information and education.
Public information campaigns can alert households residing in pre-1978 housing of the dangers of lead
poisoning, provide advice on the maintenance of the home, and suggest ways to reduce exposure to
lead based paint hazards. Information should also be provided to landlords and owners of property
with pre-1978 residential structures.
The following information should be provided to homeowners, renters, and landlords of pre-1978
housing:
A)
B)
c>
D)
E)
F)
That the property may contain lead-based paint;
The hazards of lead-based paint;
The symptoms and treatment of lead-based paint poisoning;
The precautions to be taken to avoid lead-based paint poisoning (including maintenance
and removal techniques for eliminating such hazards);
The advisability and availability of blood lead level screening for children under seven
years of age; and,
In the event lead-based paint is found in the property, appropriate abatement
procedures may be undertaken.
Strategy 4:
activities.
Seek public and private funding to finance lead hazard abatement and reduction
Significant lead hazard reduction and abatement can be costly and beyond the means of lower-income
homeowners and owners of lower-income rental properties. The City and other community
organizations should be encouraged to pursue public and private funding to finance lead abatement and
reduction activities. Lead reduction and abatement should be an eligible activity in the City’s
Page 58 FY 1998-99 Action Plan 6 3
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED FUNDING STRATEGY & PLAN
residential rehabilitation program. CDBG funds are available for lead abatement and reduction.
Additional resources for lead hazards are listed in Appendix F of the 1995-2000 Consolidated Plan.
I. Coordination Efforts
The Carlsbad Housing Authority, recognizing an increasing need for social services just as funding
sources are being depleted, has made a commitment to work with other public and non-profit agencies
to provide needed servic& for low-income households.
As discussed in the City’s anti-poverty strategy, the City will be encouraging Section 8
certificate/voucher recipients to participate in a Self-Sufficiency program. This Self-Sufficiency
program involves public/private cooperative efforts involving housing, education, employment and the
supportive services to help participating families to become upwardly mobile.
In an effort to increase housing opportunities throughout the City of Carlsbad, staff has enlisted the
cooperation of the real estate community, property managers and owners by conducting quarterly
workshops, mailing informative information regarding the Section 8 Rental Assistance program,
making rental advertisements available to Section 8 tenants, and through public media announcements.
To foster awareness and education of organizations providing housing assistance or other supportive
services to lower-income households and those in need, the City has a community resources phone
directory available at City facilities and through other organizations within Carlsbad that provide the
public with referrals to City facilities and services.
The City annually assists in the funding of Heartland Human Relations Association, in order to promote
Fair Housing. Heartland’s counselors provide information regarding the rights and responsibilities of
both tenants and landlords. Heartland also provides community education via speakers and literature
and assistance to victims of housing discrimination. Periodically, Heartland Human Relations
Association conducts audits of real estate and rental practices throughout the County of San Diego to
determine the extent of discrimination in a given area. The City has completed it’s assessment of
impediments to fair housing choice within the community and is currently implementing
recommendations of this assessment of impediments to alleviate these barriers and to continue to
promote fair housing.

Following a Plan - It is following a current consolidated plan (or Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy) that has been approved by HUD.
Use of Funds - It has complied with the following criteria:
1. Maximum Feasible Prioritv. With respect to activities expected to be assisted with
CDBG funds, it certifies that it has developed its Action Plan so as to give maximum
feasible priority to activities which benefit low and moderate income families or aid in
the prevention or elimination of slums. or blight. The Action Plan may also include

Oscar De La Riva
3676 Harding Street
Carlsbad CA 92008
Comment:
The City of Carlsbad has limited financial resources to assist lower income youths access recreational
and sport facilities and activities even in the very neighborhood they live in. Everything from the Stay
n’ Play Program, the Boys and Girls Club, and City recreational programs cost money that these
children cannot afford. It is particularly difficult financially for those families with several children
interested in participating in such activities. Please refer to written correspondence received on March
31, 1998 and the City Council minutes for the meeting of March 17, 1998 on file in the offices of the
City Clerk.
Response:
&It-. De La Riva has brought this issue before City Council on several occasions and has been working
with this issue for several months. Staff was directed to work with Mr. De La Riva.’ Several
recreational programs offer scholarships to assist lower income youths with fees. However, at the time
MTi. De La Riva inquired about them, the scholarships had already been awarded. Additionally, on
April 14, 1998, the City of Carlsbad approved a scholarship program, Opportunity Grants program, for
City operated recreational youth activities. Low cost, if not free access, to community facilities is
available. However, it is limited to non-profit organizations and not to the general public.
Additionally, many of the recreational and afterschool programs do provide some financial assistance
with participation fees through the use of sliding scale fees and scholarships.
While there are many afterschool, recreational, and sports programs and activities in the Old Carlsbad
area, these activities and possible financial assistance programs may not be adequately advertised to the
community. It was suggested that Mr. De La Riva meet with the various Boards of Directors of such
programs, as well as community groups, to share his thoughts of the unmet recreational and cultural
needs of the youths within the Old Carlsbad area and possible cooperative efforts to meet such needs.
Mr. De La Riva was also encouraged to contact community sponsors, sports leagues, clubs and
foundations to solicit contributions to assist the Carlsbad youths with program participation fees and
other related costs.
Comments from the Public Hearing held on March 17, 1998:
It was noted that a CDBG Funding Committee Member had a conflict of interest. A Committee
Member serves on the Board of Directors of the Community Resource Center and the Boys and Girls
Club of Carlsbad, both of which applied for CDBG funding. Additionally, that such conflict of interest
may have played a role in the significant funding recommendation for the Boys and Girls Club and the
minimal recommendation received by another similar project. Please refer to the City Council minutes
for the meeting of March 17, 1998 on file in the offices of the City Clerk.
Response:
The CDBG Funding Committee Member does serve on the Board of Directors for the Boys and Girls
Club of Carlsbad but does not serve as a Board member for the Community Resource Center. The
Committee member did inform the members of the CDBG Funding Committee and City staff of her
position with the Boys and Girls Club of Carlsbad prior to any decisions made regarding the
recommendation of funding.
FY 1998-99 Action Plan Page 89
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED FUNDING STRATEGY & PLAN
Although there seems to be an apparent conflict of interest, the CDBG Funding Committee is not
responsible for evaluating and scoring proposals submitted for funding consideration. The task of
evaluating and assigning an evaluation score is the sole responsibility of staff. Therefore, there was no
influence from any of the CDBG Funding Committee members on the evaluation scores proposals
received. The Committee members were responsible for determining the dollar amount those top
ranking proposals wouldJeceive.
The Committee member with a potential conflict of interest was excused from all discussions and
decisions regarding the funding recommendation for the Boys & Girls Club. However, the six other
Committee members did feel that the high evaluation score, the organization’s ability and program
benefits merited a high funding recommendation. The low evaluation score and concerns with Join
Hands-Save a Life’s organizational and financial ability was the basis for the minimal funding
recommendation received by Join Hands.
City Council recognizes that a conflict of interest whether real or apparent should be avoided. The
City has developed an application form for all persons interested in future appointments to the CDBG
Funding Committee. The application form specifically requests applicants to provide a list of
organizations they are associated with and their position of responsibility. This application form will be
implemented for the 1999-2000 program year to avoid any possible conflicts of interest.
