AP-05 Executive Summary -91.200(c), 91.220(b)
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) 2017-2018.The Action Plan describes the following: resources available, activities to
be undertaken during FY 2017-2018 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.

•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
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or
projects.
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 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.
In years past, 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 ofSan 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 2016, the city partnered with Interfaith Community Services to acquire vacant commercial
property which now serves as the Carlsbad Service Center. This Service Center is in the heart of the city
and is easily accessible to all residents. Services such as case management, job training, employment
skills, job placement, emergency food distribution, and ESL classes are just some of the services
available.

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(I)).
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 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 Effort which was a key federal strategy initiative aimed to end veteran homelessness. The city
remains committeed to this effort, now called Open Doors, and has 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 (Emergency Shelter Grant) 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.

The Carlsbad Housing Agency administers the Section 8 Rental Assistance program for Carlsbad residents. For calendar year (CY)2016, the City
of Carlsbad's allocation was $5,545,117 for rental assistance payments and $588,690 for operating expenses. HUD is currently operating under a
Continuing Resolution until April 28,2017. Since January 2017, the Carlsbad Housing Agency has received 94 percent of CY 2016 housing
assistance payments funding and 77 percent of administrative allocation. Once the CY 2017 Appropriations Act is approved, HUD will notify the
housing agencies within 60 days what the final funding appropriations will be for CY 2017. The program provides rent subsidy payments for very
low-income households in privately owned rental housing units.Each month, 600 families are assisted with Section 8 Rental Assistance funds.

AP-75 Action Plan Barrier to Affordable Housing —91.420, 91.220(j)
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
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 decreasing
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 Pi' 2017-2018 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

2017
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Item #6 April 25, 2017 Page 42 of 66
has identified two primary strategies to reduce lead-based paint hazards in Carlsbad to be carried out
during the FY 2015-2019 CP period.
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 arid 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 ofSan 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 2017-18 to reduce poverty in Carlsbad:
1.Inciusionary Housing Ordinance
2.Housing Reserve Fund
3.Affordable Housing Trust Fund
4.Section 8 Vouchers

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 thy can also help strengthen the housing and
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 2017-2018 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.
