1.Introduction
Carlsbad occupies approximately 39 square miles of rolling hills, beaches and bluffs along the
northern coast of San Diego County. The city is located about 30 miles north of San Diego and
about 90 miles south of Los Angeles. In addition to the Pacific Ocean coastline along its western
boundary, the communities surrounding Carlsbad include the city of Oceanside to the north,
the city of Encinitas to the south, and the cities of Vista and San Marcos and unincorporated
areas of San Diego County to the east.
This Action Plan outlines Carlsbad's planned uses of Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG)funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-2017.The Action Plan describes the following: resources
available,activities to be undertaken during FY 2016-2017 and their relation to the five year
strategic plan,other actions to address affordable housing,homelessness,and other special
needs, as well as provides Carlsbad's Monitoring Plan.
•Resources available
•Activities to be undertaken during FY 2016-2017 and their relation to the five year
strategic plan
•Other actions to address affordable housing, homelessness, and other special needs
•Monitoring Plan
The City of Carlsbad participates in the HOME program under the County of San Diego.HOME
funds are being administered directly by the County of San Diego Housing and Community
Development Department.Homebuyer assistance is available to Carlsbad residents via County's
HOME-funded Downpayment and Closing Cost Program.
2.Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
This Annual Plan (AP) incorporates outcome measures for activities in accordance with the
Federal Register Notice dated March 7, 2006, which require the following Performance
Measure Objectives/Outcomes to be associated with each activity funded:
General Objective Categories-activities will meet one of the following:

•A Suitable Living Environment (SL)
•Economic Opportunity (EO)General
Annual Action Plan 3
2016
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Outcome Categories-activities will meet one of the following:
•Availability/Accessibility (1)
•Affordability (2)
•Sustainability (3)
The City of Carlsbad has a range of housing and community development needs.CDBG funds
alone are not adequate to address the various needs identified during the public outreach
process and summarized in the Needs Assessment of Carlsbad's Consolidated Plan (CP) FY
2015-2019. Recognizing the national objectives of these funding programs and specific program
regulations, the city intends to use these funds to coordinate programs, services, and projects
to create a decent and suitable living environment to benefit low-and moderate-income
households and those with special needs. Needs which have been determined to be a High
Priority level will receiving funding during this AP. Needs with a Low Priority may be funded
based on the availability of funds.The priorities for the FY 2015-2019 CP established in
consultation with residents and community groups are:
High Priority:
•Increase the supply of affordable housing units
•Provide supportive services for the homelessness, lower-income residents, and persons
with special needs
•Improve and provide facilities to serve lower income persons
•Provide fair housing services to residents
•Planning and administration
Low Priority:
•Conserve and rehabilitate the existing housing stock
The priorities identified above specifically address the use of CDBG funds. The city no longer
receives its specific allocation of HOME funds from the County of San Diego. The city facilitates
the development of new affordable housing primarily through its Inclusionary Housing
Program, which is locally funded, and its' Housing Reserve Fund. The Carlsbad Housing Agency
also administers the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program for low income tenants.
3.Evaluation of past performance
In the past,as a participant of the County's HOME Consortium, the City of Carlsbad would
receive a small allocation of HOME funds for the city's affordable housing activities.However,
since 2014, the significant reductions in HOME funds necessitated the County to restructure its
Annual Action Plan 4
2016
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
HOME program to more efficiently expend the limited funds.The city no longer receives its
specific allocation of HOME funds from the County.City residents will continue to be eligible to
apply for the HOME-funded Downpayment and Closing Costs program via the a new program
that began in September of 2014 through a partnership between County of San Diego and the
San Diego County Housing Commission.
During the last five years, the city utilized HOME and other funding to assist in the development
of affordable housing.The city provided a total of $3,750,000 in the form of residual receipts
loans from the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Set-Aside
Fund. In 2009, the city assisted San Diego Habitat for Humanity with the development of six
condominium units (Roosevelt Garden) for lower-income families. The city also provided
financial assistance to Meta Housing Corporation for the Tavarua Senior Apartments,a 50-unit
apartment community completed in 2013. Ten of the 50 units are designated for qualifying
older adults with mental illness eligible for supportive services under the Mental Health
Services Act (MHSA) program. This program is part of a larger regional supportive housing
initiative by the County of San Diego's Behavioral Health Services Division (BHS)to link
homeless or at risk of homelessness individuals with mental illness to permanent housing and
social services.
The city also provided HOME funds in 2012 to Solutions for Change to assist in the acquisition
of Vista Terrace Apartments in the City of Vista to serve as a regional resource for homeless
families with children from the region who are graduating from their program which helps the
families become stable members of the community and provide them with homes. One unit in
Vista Terrace was converted to a community room for residents of the apartments.In 2014, the
city provided an additional $454,000 to Solutions for Change in order to assist the agency with
the acquisition of a 16-unit apartment complex to be used for graduates of the Solutions
University for homeless families.
During the previous Consolidated Plan period, the city assisted over 9,000 homeless persons or
persons at-risk of homelessness (duplicated counts) with temporary shelter and supportive
services. An additional 3,600 lower-income persons or persons with special needs were assisted
through a variety of public service programs, including the North County Health Services
Immunization and Health Screening Program, after school programs, and meal or food delivery
programs.
In addition,a total of six projects to improve community facilities have been completed since
2010, including the Casa de Amparo Twin Oaks facility, Catholic Charities La Posada de
Guadalupe Men's Shelter, North County Health Services Health Care Center, and Hospice of the
North Coast Hospice House.In 2013, the city provided funds for the development of a

pedestrian railway crossing at Chestnut Avenue to benefit the lower-income residents in that
neighborhood. Funding was also allocated for a lighting assessment study in the city's Barrio
area to improve lighting and public safety.
4.Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process

1.Introduction
As part of the development of this AP,the City conducted an outreach program to consult and
coordinate nonprofit agencies, affordable housing providers, and government agencies regarding the
needs of the low-and moderate-income community.The outreach program has been summarized in
the Executive Summary and Citizen Participation sections of this AP.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(1)).
The City of Carlsbad serves as the city's public housing agency whereby the Section 8 Rental
Assistance Program is implemented and administered daily. The city actively participates in a
variety of coalitions made up of affordable housing and community development coordinators
from all 18 incorporated cities and various nonprofit organizations in the San Diego region.
These strong partnerships result coordination of activities, sharing of information, and jointer
operation of specific HUD programs. These coalitions include:CDBG Coordinators Group;
County of San Diego HOME Consortium; Regional Continuum of Care Council; California Finance
Officers' Group; California Association of Housing Authorities; National Association of Housing
Redevelopment Officials; Housing Authorities within the County of San Diego; participating
cities in the First-Time Homebuyer Program; and notably, the city engages and contributes as a
member of the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing (www.sdfairhousing.org). Also
included is the San Diego Housing Federation, made up of affordable housing organizations and
lenders that sponsor programs and activities in partnership with the County of San Diego and
cities in the region.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The City of Carlsbad is an active member of the San Diego Regional Continuum of Care Council
(RCCC)which is a large cooperative community group consisting of representatives of the 18
cities within the County of San Diego, nonprofit homeless providers and other interested
parties. The RCCC regularly meets to identify gaps in homeless services, establish funding
priorities, and to pursue an overall systemic approach to addressing homelessness. The RCCC
makes recommendations for allocation of funds available under the Emergency Shelter Grants
(ESG)program. The representatives seek ways to improve collaboration and share scarce
resources. The consensus approach from service providers is to emphasize prevention of
Annual Action Plan 9
2016
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
homelessness first, then transitional housing and support services for individuals and families,
and finally support for chronically homeless individuals. Facilities in proximity to Carlsbad
serving this population include the Brother Benno Foundation providing transitional housing for
men in recovery from substance abuse, the Women's Resource Center which provides
emergency safe shelter for victims of domestic violence, Catholic Charities'La Posada de
Guadalupe men's shelter which targets homeless men, Community Resource Center which
provides emergency safe shelter for victims of domestic violence, and Casa de Amparo which
provides targeted support for children and youth who have been removed from their homes by
Child Protective Services.
During 2015, the city actively participated alongside both nonprofit and for profit agencies in
the 25 Cities initiative aimed to end veteran homelessness. The city contributed 10 unique
Section 8 Rental Assistance vouchers to aid in the effort.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
The City of Carlsbad does not receive ESG funds from HUD.
The Regional Continuum of Care Consortium (RCCC)coordinates efforts to address homeless in
the San Diego region and is the HUD designated Continuum of Care (CoC)for the region. The
RCCC manages the application for, receipt and distribution of federal and other grant funds,
including the Homeless Super NOFA (Notice of Funding Availability).
The Regional Task Force on the Homeless (RTFH) was selected by the RCCC to manage the
region's homeless management information system (HMIS). This system coordinates the
region's AHAR efforts and is working to combine data from multiple consortium area systems
into one data warehouse. The HMIS produces quarterly and annual reports that assist in
monitoring key indicators to assess needs and progress on strategic goals pertaining to
homelessness. In 2010,a Data Advisory Committee was created to provide community-based
oversight, system evaluation, and comprehensive HMIS planning.
Carlsbad does not receive any dedicated homeless assistance funding as a result of the Super
NOFA or the RCCC activities.However, annually the city uses a portion of its CDBG Public
Service Dollars to assist agencies that serve the homeless and those at risk of becoming
homeless.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
The city's goal is to leverage federal, state, and local funds to maximize the number of households that can be assisted. The city may
use local Housing Trust Funds to further affordable housing goals whenever a match, grant, or loan is necessary and appropriate to
ensure the financial feasibility of a project.
If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs
identified in the plan
The City of Carlsbad worked towards meeting its affordable housing objectives by allocating CDBG funds in previous years to
Solutions for Change for the planned acquisition of a 16-unit apartment complex in Carlsbad for graduates of the Solutions
University for homeless families. Prior year CDBG funds were also used to assist in the acquisition of a health care center in the City
that continues to provide services to low-income residents.No other publicly owned land or property is anticipated to be used to
address needs identified in this plan.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority
concentration) where assistance will be directed
Through the city's Inclusionary Housing program, the city intends to develop lower-income affordable
housing units throughout Carlsbad, thereby reducing the impact of housing on any one area. City staff
will be responsible for initiating or facilitating the development 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. Carlsbad will consider the allocation of
resources to public service organizations located outside of the city limits in those instances where such
public services provide adequate access to Carlsbad residents.
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
While the city has identified a number of priority strategies and implementing programs in the FY 2015-
2019 Consolidated Plan, given limited resources, the city may not pursue each program every fiscal
year. Priorities for allocation are a result of various community outreach efforts and consultation
meetings and recommendations by city staff and the Carlsbad City Council.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing
Introduction
The City of Carlsbad works to remove barriers to affordable housing and the financial impacts of efforts
to protect public health and safety by taking actions to reduce the costs or provide financial incentives
to assist in the production of safe, high quality, affordable housing.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances,
building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential
investment.
The City of Carlsbad works diligently to remove barriers to affordable housing and the financial impacts
of efforts to protect public health and safety by taking actions to reduce the costs or provide off-setting
financial incentives to assist in the production of safe, high quality, affordable housing. The following
measures may be taken to alleviate the barriers to affordable housing:
•Apply for State and federal funding to provide gap financing for affordable housing production
and rehabilitation of existing affordable housing stock.
•Continue to support applications for Tax Exempt Bond financing from the California Debt Limit
Allocation Committee.
•Continue to support applications for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits from the California Tax
Credit Allocation Committee.
•Continue to streamline the environmental review process for housing developments, using
available state categorical exemptions and federal categorical exclusions, when applicable. Also,
send staff to CEQA and NEPA trainings as needed to gain expertise in the preparation of
environmental review documents.
•Continue to improve the permit processing and planning approval processes to minimize delay
in housing development in general and in particular affordable housing development.
•Continue providing rehabilitation assistance and homeownership assistance, and to assist in the
construction and preservation of affordable housing.
•Encourage public participation when a proposed project is being considered for approval.
•Implement policies and strategies identified in Carlsbad's 2013-2021 Housing Element.
Housing affordability is affected by numerous factors in both the private and public sectors. With the
dissolution of redevelopment in California, the City of Carlsbad has lost its most powerful tool and
funding mechanism to provide affordable housing in the community. Funding at the State and Federal
levels has also continued to experience significant cuts. With reduced funding and increased housing
costs, the city faces significant challenges in providing affordable and decent housing opportunities for
its lower and moderate income residents, especially with extremely low incomes. Actions by the city can
have a significant impact on the price and availability of housing in Carlsbad.Lack of affordable housing

2016
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
funds, land use controls, site improvement requirements, building codes, fees, and other local programs
intended to improve the overall quality of housing may serve as a constraint to affordable housing
development. These governmental constraints can limit the operations of the public, private, and
nonprofit sectors, making it challenging to meet the demand for affordable housing and ever dwindling
supply in the region.

Introduction
Priority Needs established in the FY 2015-2019 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, which form the
basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the FY 2016-2017 One-Year Action Plan, are as
follows:
High Priority
•Increase the Supply of Affordable Housing Units
•Provide Supportive Services for the Homeless, Lower-Income Residents, and Persons
with Special Needs
•Improve and Provide Facilities to Serve Lower-Income Persons
•Provide Fair Housing Services to Residents
•Planning and Administration
Low Priority
•Conserve and Rehabilitate the Existing Housing Stock
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
Limited financial resources are the biggest obstacle to meeting underserved needs in Carlsbad. The city's
policy is to leverage, to the maximum extent feasible, the use of funds available in providing public
services and affordable housing. The city supports the use of CDBG and Housing Trust funds for
development activities and "gap financing" by private and non-profit entities in their efforts to develop
affordable housing.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
In order to foster and maintain affordable housing for lower income households, the city will use CDBG
funds to assist with the development of affordable multi-family housing. The city also fosters
development of affordable housing through implementation of its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance,
which requires that 15 percent of all housing units constructed in city be affordable to lower and
moderate income households. For projects proposing seven units or less,a fee is collected and
deposited into the city's Housing Trust Fund to be used to foster and maintain affordable housing.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The Residential lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X)emphasizes prevention of
childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. This strategy requires jurisdictions to
focus on implementing practical changes in older housing to protect children from lead hazards. The city
has identified two primary strategies to reduce lead-based paint hazards in Carlsbad to be carried out
during the FY 2015-2019 CP period.
Annual Action Plan 30
2016
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Strategy 1:Integrate lead hazard evaluation and reduction activities into all housing 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:
•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;
•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
•Provide all eligible applicants of housing programs, with information regarding lead-based paint.
Strategy 2:Support the development of comprehensive health programs for the screening of children
for lead Poisoning and a follow-up on those identified as lead poisoned.In accordance with Center for
Disease Control (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 encourages 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.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The city currently has various programs and policies in place to help reduce the number of households
with incomes below the poverty line. These policies and programs aim to improve coordination and
collaboration among city departments; and nonprofit agencies which provide health and social services,
employment training, legal assistance, and other support services for low income persons. The city will
pursue the following programs during FY 2016-17 to reduce poverty in Carlsbad:
1.Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
2.Housing Reserve Fund
3.Affordable Housing Trust Fund
4.Section 8 Vouchers
5.Village Revitalization Partnership Program
6.Economic Development Strategic Plan
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
There are many organizations within the County of San Diego that provide housing or supportive
services to Carlsbad residents. These agencies tend to be smaller organizations with many using
volunteers. The city will continue to encourage greater efforts to make use of available housing, social
service and mental and other health care resources. The city can also help strengthen the housing and

2016
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
service delivery system by helping to educate such organizations and agencies regarding the resources
that are available.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The city proposes to strengthen, coordinate and integrate the governmental institutions, non-profit and
private delivery systems discussed in the FY 2015-19 CP and FY 2016-17 Action Plan through on -going
"strategy and development" meetings between city staff, private developers, non-profit organizations
and various financial institutions. Through these meetings, the city will continue to identify the
constraints to affordable housing and develop/implement programs to mitigate them. The key to
successful development of affordable housing for lower-income households in Carlsbad is
communication, flexibility, and adequate funding. The city will communicate openly with private
developers and service providers as well as make every effort to maintain the flexibility in policies
and/or ordinances necessary to create public/private housing development partnerships.
