public notice was published to begin the public review and comment period on April 1, 2002. Notices have
also been mailed to those on a list maintained by City staff of organizations and individuals interested in
receiving information regarding the CDBG .Program. Copies of the annual plan have been available for
review in City facilities and staff has been available to receive comments or answer questions regarding
the plan. I FISCAL IMPACT
The City of Carlsbad will receive an estimated new allocation of $632,000 in CDBG funds for program
year 2002-2003. The City may use a maximum of twenty percent of the allocation, or $126,400, for
administration of the CDBG Program. A grant agreement for the funds will not be executed until HUD

B. Projected Financial Resounres to be Available
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 pmemation of existing housing which serve
identifed 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 Mer 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
government funds to other funds.
The City anticipates that the following sources will be available for 2002-2003:

6
1. Affordable Housing Activities
Approximately 51 1 non-homeless households, families, and individuals me expected to receive housing
services in 2002-2003 through the Section 8 Tenant-Based Rental Assistance F’rogmm, new construction,
and first time homebuyer programs. Approximately 75 perce,,t 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 Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program
The 2002-2003 Section 8 Rental Assistance Program anticipates a total budget of $5,330,269 for rental
assistance payments and administrative.fees. This budget will allow the city to continue to provide rental
assistance for up to 703 very low-income households during fiscal year 2002-2003. It is anticipated that
approximately 503 households will be assisted during the 2002-2003 pmgram yew due to rental market
constraints including a lack of rental units and low interest in landlord participation. The City has
approved housing assistance payment contracts with pmprty owners to commit these funds.
b. New Construdion of Rental Units
The City anticipates the start of construction on one new affordable rental community during the next
program year. The 180 unit Villages of La Costa project will likely begin construction in the winter of
2003, and will be completed in the winter of 2004.
L New Construction of Owner Occupied Units
The 24 unit Thompson Tobatta project is anticipated to begin construction in the winter of 2003. All of
the units will be three or four bedroom units.
d. ’ Transitloml Housing for Families with Children
The City has allocated $150,000 to assist in the development of the proposed Solutions for Change Family
Center in the City of Vista. The Center will include 31 units with 100 beds to serve homeless families
with children. Fdes will pay 30% of their incomes to reside in the units. The developer anticipates that
work on the Center will begin in 2003.
e. Homebuyer Programs
As a participant in the San Diego County Regional Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) program, MCCs
are available for fmt-time homebuyers in the City of Carlsbad. The MCC program allows a fust time
homebuyer to take a federal income tax credit of twenty (20) percent of the annual interest paid on the
home mortgage. This program will provide MCCs to primarily moderate-income households and in some
cases lower-income households to help them qual@ for a home purchase loan.
The San Diego County Regional MCC Program will apply for additional funding for calendar year 2002.
Allocations are expected to be determined in June of 2002 and it is anticipated that the City of Caclsbad
will receive approximately $360,000 in MCC credit. The City of Carlsbad anticipates that three (3) MCCs
will be issued in 2002-2003 to persons purchasing a home in Carlsbad.
Implementation of a Lease Purchase Program began during the 2001-2002 fiscal year. The City of
Carlsbad, along with eleven other jurisdictions in the County of San Diego have formed the San Diego
Housing Finance Agency. The Agency will issue approximately $75 million in bonds to assist households
earning up to 140% of the County Area Median Income purchase a home. The program provides for the
Agency to purchase a home for a participating household, which would then lease the home from the
Agency for three years. At the completion of this lease period, the qualified household would assume a
twenty-seven year loan on the pmprty. It is estimated that at least five (5) households will be assisted
7
through the Lease Purchase Program during the 2002-2003 prom year.
.. 1. Housing Reserve Fund
The City has allocated $1,192,730 in CDBG and HOME funds to the Carlsbad Housing Reqrve Fund.
These funds will be used to create new affordable housing opportunities for Carlsbad residents.
Affordable housing developers have suggested that such a fund be created in which HOME and funds
might be accumulated as one year of the City’s HOME funding allocation is not a suffic,ient amotint to
leverage the additional funds needed to develop a project in the City. A potential site has been identified
which might be acquired and developed with the funds.
2. Community Development Activities In Maich of 2002. the Carlsbad City Council selected 22 community development proposals, amounting to
$761,357, for funding under the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) prngiam. The
City will be eligible to receive $632,000 in new CDBG funds for 2002-2003 to finance the projects that
will assist low and moderate-income persons. In addition, the City has $129,357 in CDBG program
income and funds available for reallocation as a result of the cancellation of a previously funded activity.
The total funds available for allocation in 2002-2003 is $761,357. Community development proposals
selected for funding in 2002-2003 are listed on the following pages.

3. Housing Activities for the Homeless
During 2002-2003, 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 2002-2003 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 1,052 individuals, all of whom are from low and moderate-income households, are
anticipated to benefit from the activities, projects, and shelter services which are to be funded for the 2002-
2003 fiscal year. Of the 1,052 individuals, approximately 708 would be considered to homeless.
30
33
The City Council has adopted a resolution declaring the City of Carlsbads 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, with the assistance of local social service
providers, continue to meet and work cooperatively to discuss the region wide approach and various
strategies, such as the previously mentioned Solutions for Change Family Center, 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 managinghonitoring
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 that are affordable to low
and moderate-income persons. The City will continue to offer these "incentives" as well as work 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 andlor 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 and Fair Housing 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, CDBG Administrators Group, and FEMA Emergency Food and
Shelter Program Board. The City will also continue to participate in the North County Homeless Task
Force. This group 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 serve as a resource information group for such programs as the HOME program, San Diego
Regional Lease-Purchase Program, and the Regional MCC (First Time Homebuyer) program. The City
31
will also continue to encourage and participate in efforts to work collectively and cooperatively with other
San Diego County jurisdictions.
The City is also a member of the Fair Housing Resource Board (FHRB), which has been expanded to
include more local governmental involvement with regional affodable housing, fair housing issues and
advocacy. HUD recognizes the FHRB as a forum to facilitate fair housing in the San Diego area
Carlsbad participated with the FHRB in contracting with the San Diego Fair Housing Council to conduct a
Regional Assessment of Impediients to Fair Housing (AI). The City will also continue to fund an
agreement with Heartland Human Relations Association (HHRA) to provide fair housing services which
includes counseling, tenanflandlord mediation, education seminars, and to mitigate andor prevent housing
discrimination practices. HHRA has also conducted special training for all members of the Carlsbad
Housing and Redevelopment Department.
F. Public Housing Improvements
The City of Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency owns a 75 unit seniors apartment project, in which a
majority of the tenants are participants in the City's Section 8 Rental Assistance Program. Minor
improvements may be made to the property in the course of maintainiig the property.
C. Public Housing Resident Initiatives
No public housing resident initiatives are proposed for the 2002-2003 Program Year.
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:
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 identifed with
elevated blood levels;
b. Include lead based paint hazard abatement as an eligible activity for
funding under the City's CDBG program and include minimum lead
based paint abatement requirements to housing quality standards which
must be met; and
C. Provide all eligible applicants of housing 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 identilled as lead poisoned.
In accordance with CDC guidelines, all children found to have elevated blood levels (above 20 micrograms
32
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 funds may 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) That the property may contain lead-based paint;
B) The hazards of lead-based paint;
C) The symptoms and treatment of lead-based paint poisoning;
D) The precautions to be taken to avoid lead-based paint poisoning (including maintenance
E) The advisability and availability of blood lead level screening for children under seven
F) In the event lead-based paint is found in the property, appropriate abatement procedures
and removal techniques for eliminating such hazards);
years of age; and,
may be undertaken.
Strategy4 Seek public and private funding to Ananee lead hazard abatement and reduction
activities.
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 is an eligible activity in the City's residential rehabilitation
program. CDBG funds are available for lead abatement and reduction.
I. Coordination Efforts
The Carlsbad Housing Authority has made a commitment to work with other public and non-pmfit
agencies to provide needed services for low-income households.
As discussed in the City's anti-poverty strategy, City staff encourage Section 8 assistance recipients to
participate in a Selfsufficiency Progmm. This Selfsufficiency Program involves publidprivate
cooperative efforts involving housing, education, employment and the supportive services to help
participating families 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 workshops,
mailing informative information regarding the Section 8 Rental Assistance program, and making rental
advertisements available to Section 8 tenants.
To foster awareness and education of organizations providing housing assistauce or other supportive
services to lower-income households and those in need, the City has a community ~esomea phone
directory available at City facilities and through other organizations withii Carlsbad that provide the public
with referrals to City facilities and services.
33
34
J. Monitoring The City has established a Monitoring Policy and Procedure that emphasizes positive feedback to
subrecipients, but also provides important information on areas that need improvement. The monitoring
policy establishes an annual schedule for on-site visits, a monitoring checklist, and follow-up procedures.
Since City of Carlsbad staff work with subrecipients on an on-going basis through the year, most program
deficiencies will be detected early in the process. However, the on-site monitoring visits serve as a "check
and balance" activity which helps ensure subrecipients are carrying out their programs as described io their
funding applications and according to their subrecipient agreements.

Re: CDBGiHOhfE input .,
Community Interface Services would lie to commend the City of Carlsbad for its excellent
efforts at meeting the vast need for affordable housing. Housing and Redevelopment Department
staffhave been very cooperative with working with persons with special needs and granting
reasonable accommodations den needed The Department has been very proactive at see-
out new affordable housing resources, particularly by applying for new Section 8 funding. The
City's Inclusionary Housing ordinance has helped to create more affordable housing, and serves
as an example for other cities.
Community Interfke Services is a Carlsbad non-profit supporting adults with developmental
disabilities to live as independently as possible in the community. Individuals served by
Community Interface have disabilities such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, seizure
disorder, and autism, and me striving to live and work in the community. Many of the persons b served subsist entirely on Social Security benefits ofjust over $700; others work part or full-time
and may have incomes of S1,OOO T S 1,200 per month. Almost all the individuals we support earn
less than 50% Area Median Income. With the current Fair Market Rent on a typical one-
bedroom dent at $809, it is virtually impossible for the vast majority of these individuals to
find decent affordable housing.
Given the desperate and growing need for affordable housing in the region, we feel it is critical to
closely examine the prioritiw for allocating CDBG and HOME funds. While CDBG funds do
allow for various activities and services to enhance the community, the primary intention of both
grants is to create and preserve affordable housing for low and very low-income households.
While the various community services and after-school programs funded in the past are very .
worthwhile and beneficial to the community, the more basic need of safe, sanitary, and affordable
housing mk take precedence.
The City of Carlsbad has been more proactive than most at striving to provide adequate
affordable housing, but the need has not been met. We encourage the City Council to allocate
CDBG and HOME bds to programs that will actually expand affordable housing opportunities
for the City's low and very low-income households.

AB #16.691- APPROVAL OF FUNDING ALLOCATIONS FOR 2002-2003
CDBGIHOME PROGRAM.
Council Member Finnila discussed how, if Council so desired, to provide funding for the
Fraternity House. She stated that from 1989 to date the City had provided $30,300 in
operating funds and $20,000 in Facility Improvements. Council Member Finnila pointed
out that the funding could come from three sources: the Council Contingency Fund, the
Community Activity Grants or by diminishing funds proposed for CDBG recipients to
form a pool of funding. Council Member Finnila suggested that proposed funding for
Fraternity House come from diminishing funds proposed for CDBG recipients. She
explained that the Community Activity Grants are not setup for organizations that reside
outside of Carlsbad yet service those living in Carlsbad. Council Member Kulchin
suggested that funding for Fraternity House come from the Community Activity Grants
fund rather than diminishing CDBG recipient funds. Council Member Hall asked if
Fraternity House could qualify under the qualification guidelines of the Community
Activity Grants. Lisa Hildabrand, Finance Director, stated that Fraternity House would
meet the qualification criteria of the Community Activity Grants. She also stated that to
