Executive Summary The Housing & Neighborhood Services Department administers the federally funded Section 8 Rental Assistance Program for the City of Carlsbad Public Housing Agency (PHA). Pursuant to Code of Federal Regulations 24 Part 903, a PHA is required to submit a 5-Year and Annual Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 5-Year and Annual PHA Plan provide a basic guide to PHA policies, rules, and requirements concerning the Agency's operations, programs and services. In addition, the Plan advises HUD and members of the public about the mission and strategies for serving the needs of low-income and very low-income families within the Agency's jurisdiction. Discussion On April 7, 2015, the Community Development Commission approved the 5-Year Plan for fiscal years 2015-2019 and approved the submission of the plan to HUD. For the Annual Plan, the PHA is required to identify any PHA Plan elements that have been revised since the last Annual Plan submission. There are two areas that have been revised and are addressed in the Annual PHA Plan Elements segment: • Financial Resources -the amount of funding received for housing assistance payments and administration changed since the last reporting period. • Rent Determination -payment standards increased effective October 1, 2016 resulting in a change in the participant rent determination calculation. Further, the PHA needs to indicate the progress in meeting the goals and objectives identified in the last 5-Year PHA Plan that was adopted. The purpose of the 5-Year PHA Plan is to identify goals and objectives to serve the needs of low-income (under 80% of the area median income - AMI), very low-income (under 50% of the AMI), and extremely low-income (under 30% of the Item #5 April 11, 2017 Page 1 of 25 AMI} families for the next 5 years. The goals are: 1. Expand the supply of assisted housing; 2. Improve the quality of assisted housing; 3. Increase assisted housing choices; 4. Promote self-sufficiency and asset development of families and individuals; 5. Ensure equal opportunity and affirmatively further fair housing; and 6. Ensure the needs are met of child and adult victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking per the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2005. Fiscal Analysis The PHA Plan governs the federal funds allocated for administration of the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program. 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 housing agency has been receiving 94% of CY 2016 housing assistance payments funding and 77% of administrative funding 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. Next Steps Once the Plan is approved, the following documents are required to be submitted with the PHA Plan template (Form HUD-50075-HP}: • Form HUD-50077-ST-HCV-HP, PHA Certifications of Compliance with the PHA Plans and Related Regulations (which includes all certifications relating to Civil Rights}; • Form HUD-50077-SL, Certification by State or Local Official of PHA Plans Consistency with the Consolidated Plan or State Consolidated Plan; and • Resident Advisory Board (RAB} comments and a narrative describing the analysis of any recommendations and decisions made regarding the recommendations. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require environmental review. Public Notification The draft Public Housing Agency Annual Plan is available for public review and comment for 45 days prior to adoption by the Community Development Commission. The public review period began on February 25, 2017 and will end on April 11, 2017. Public comments from the public review period and the public hearing will be addressed and included in the final Public Housing Agency Plan submission to HUD. Item #5 April 11, 2017 Page 2 of 25 Information regarding public notifications of this item such as mailings, public hearing notices posted in the newspaper and on the City website are available in the Office of the City Clerk.

DECONCENTRATION POLICY (Excerpt from PHAAdministrative Plan) Local Objectives Mission of Housing & Neighborhood Services: Enhance the quality of life and sense of community for those who live in Carlsbad by providing better connections to city information and services and through focused program development and implementation, community engagement and outreach services and provision of affordable housing opportunities. Item #5 April 11, 2017 Page 8 of 25 The Section 8 Rental Assistance Program is designed to achieve three major objectives: 1. To provide affordable decent, safe and sanitary rental housing, of a modest (non-luxury) nature, for very low-income families. 2. To promote freedom of rental housing choice and spatial deconcentration of very low-income families of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. 3. To provide an incentive to private property owners to rent to very low-income families by offering timely assistance payments and annual inspections. Owner Outreach The PHA encourages owners of decent, safe, and sanitary rental units to rent to Section 8 participants. The PHA maintains an ongoing list of available rental units and interested owners/property managers. The list is available in the lobby and is updated on a monthly basis. When listings from owners/property managers are received, they will be compiled by the PHA staff by bedroom size and date of availability. Actions to encourage participation by owners of suitable rental units located outside areas of low-income and minority areas: 1. The PHA maintains communication with the San Diego County Apartment Association and local property management companies. These resources will be used to make owners aware of the benefits of the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program. 2. In order to expand participation of new owners who are interested in the program or are unfamiliar with the program, the Housing Program Manager will call the prospective owner to explain the benefits of the Section 8 program and encourage their participation. 3. Housing representatives will attend local agency and community fairs to increase awareness of the program and benefits for owners. Housing representatives will also participate in Owner seminars/workshops, which are organized in coordination of with other local housing agencies, San Diego County Apartment Association, North County Apartment Managers Association, and local property management companies. 4. Owner information packets describing the benefits of the rental assistance program will be available upon request. 5. The PHA will market the Section 8 program by conducting Rental Owner workshops for prospective owners periodically to explain the program benefits, especially during periods of low voucher utilization and low vacancy rates. 6. The PHA will utilize the media, including newspapers, magazines, internet, television, and radio to market the Section 8 program as determined necessary. The PHA will periodically evaluate the distribution of assisted families to identify areas within the jurisdiction where owner outreach should be targeted. Family Outreach Outreach will inform all eligible segments of Carlsbad's population of the availability of the Section 8 Rental Assistance program. If applicant groups are not reflective of the eligible population, additional outreach aimed at targeted groups will be increased. The PHA will publicize the availability of rental assistance for very low-income families in newspapers of general circulation, minority media, and by other suitable means. Notices will also be provided in Spanish. Item #5 April 11, 2017 Page 9 of 25 In addition, the PHA will distribute fact sheets to the broadcasting media, and initiate personal contact with members of the news media and community service agencies to utilize public service announcements. Liaisons have been established with a variety of city and county agencies, private social service agencies, non- profit agencies and special interest groups. The PHA will communicate the status of rental assistance availability to the service providers in the community, advising them of eligibility factors and guidelines so that they can make appropriate referrals. Payment Standards Payment Standards are currently set above 100% but at or below 110% of the Fair Market Rent (FMR}. Traditionally FM Rs have not been adequate to ensure success among assisted families in Carlsbad's segment of the FMR area. The higher payment standards reflect the higher rents in Carlsbad and increase the housing options for families in Carlsbad; therefore, furthering the PHA's efforts for fair housing and deconcentration. ( c) If the PHA answered yes for any element, describe the revisions for each element below: Financial Resources -CY 2016 Annual Contributions for HCV Program - Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) Annual Contributions for HCV Program - Administrative Fees for Program Operations Total Resources Rent Determination $5,545,117. $ 588,690. $6,133,807. Payment Standards were increased in accordance with FFY 2017 published FMRs. Payment Standards are set between 100% and 110% of the FMR. B.2 New Activities.

MARCH 9, 2017 COUNCIL CHAMBERS Acting Chairperson Newman called the Meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Commissioner Williams led with the Pledge of Allegiance. ROLL CALL Present: Absent: Staff Present: APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioners: Arline Carrillo Joy Evans Alan Newman Shaunee Williams Susan Igoe, Chairperson Housing Program Manager: Bobbi Nunn Minutes of February 9, 2017, were approved as written. ITEM NOT ON AGENDA There were no items not on the agenda. NEW BUSINESS Chairperson Newman brought the meeting to order. Exhibit 2 Bobbi Nunn, Housing Program Manager, gave a presentation of the Carlsbad Annual Public Housing Agency Plan. Chairperson Newman commented the $1915 for a two-bedroom, that sets the price that the rental has to be for Section 8. Ms. Nunn said that is what we will subsidize. If they had a two-bedroom voucher, and they were looking for a unit to rent, they would want to rent a place that was right at $1915 so they are not paying more than 30% of their income towards their rent. Chairperson Newman asked if the $1915 is supposed to include utilities. Ms. Nunn answered correct. Chairperson Newman asked can people rent for more than that and then just pay the difference. Item #5 April 11, 2017 Page 18 of 25 HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES March 9, 2017 PAGE 2 of4 Ms. Nunn answered within a limit. When they are first moving into a unit, they cannot pay more than 40% of their adjusted income toward their rent. That is a federal regulation. The rent and utility allowance needs to be factored in when we are looking at whether we can approve a higher rent when it is more than the payment standard. Chairperson Newman said if they keep it at the $1915, then the most they have to pay is 30%. Ms. Nunn answered correct. Chairperson Newman said then it can actually stretch their income. It will give them a little more leeway. Ms. Nunn said correct. It will give them a little more flexibility. Of course, it depends on what their income source is too. The more income the participant has coming in, then the higher their 10% is going to be, which gives them more flexibility in choosing a rental. Chairperson Newman said that was a big leap. Ms. Nunn said it was a very nice surprise. It has helped, especially in this very tight market. Commissioner Evans said she has a question. First thing, thank you for a wonderful presentation. My question is, the Seagrove Townhouses, six units for sale, what does that mean. I didn't know Section 8 could buy anything. Ms. Nunn answered actually it is not Section 8. Someone would have to be able to qualify on their own with their own income. It is not a Section 8 subsidized unit. They are the same thing as our affordable complexes, but once in a while we will have developers that will provide their requirement in a for sale product instead of a for rent product. For most of our affordable units, developers choose to do it in a for rent product. They can also get additional funds from the state and the federal government for tax credits. This one developer decided to do it as a for sale product. There are six units for sale. The prices are based on 80% of the median income. I am just throwing out numbers, but if something would be on the market selling for $550,000, but if you figured out the 80%, it may only be $200,000. Someone would have to be able to have enough income to qualify for that unit and be able to make that payment and make the associated costs and their costs can't exceed 30% of their income. It has nothing to do with the Rental Assistance Program. It is something that we report on to the Housing and Urban Development to advise them what we are doing as an agency and as a city to promote affordable housing besides the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program and affordable housing options. Chairperson Newman said thank you for the presentation. Commissioner Williams made a motion to approve that the Housing Commission adopt Resolution No. 2017-002, recommending that the Community Development Commission approve the Carlsbad Public Housing Agency (PHA) Annual Plan for fiscal year 2017 for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Commissioner Williams seconded the motion. VOTE: 4-0 AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: Carrillo, Evans, Newman and Williams None None Igoe Item #5 April 11, 2017 Page 19 of 25 HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES March 9, 2017 PAGE 3 of4 Ms. Nunn gave the Housing Commissioners a flyer about one of the affordable complexes, Juniper at the Preserve, which is the one in the Quarry Creek area. It will have 64 units. Commissioner Newman commented that is the one we approved about a year ago. Ms. Nunn said right. The flyer has their phone number and also information about their bedroom layouts. There is not a waiting list yet. This is just an interest list. Also, Debbie wanted to share with you information that was sent to the Mayor and City Council members regarding homelessness in Carlsbad. I believe that was a major topic of conversation at your last Housing Commission meeting. She asked me to share this briefing paper that is an Executive Summary with a strategy of what the city is looking to do regarding the homeless situation here in Carlsbad. Right now we were involved in the Point in Time count, which it was the first year we did that as a city itself. Marie Jones-Kirk in our office is the Community Services Coordinator and she initiated the City of Carlsbad doing their own Point in Time count. The Point in Time count happens every January, where we go out at 4 a.m. to count homeless people and count places that look like people are sleeping or if they are sleeping in cars. This is turned into the Regional Center, and then at the end of April they will actually tabulate all of that information and then advise us what they feel our numbers are for homelessness in Carlsbad. At that time, that information will be taken to City Council for direction on what they would like to do from that point. Commissioner Carrillo commented that she lives at Pacific Wind. The developer met at the school, Jefferson Elementary. Ms. Nunn asked which place is that. Is it the one where they are taking out the duplexes and putting in 93 units? Commissioner Carrillo said yes. I plan to stay unless I get a higher rent. The developer was really nice and told us what the future plans are. He said the plans are to help people find places starting in January. Ms. Nunn asked January 2018? Commissioner Carrillo said yes, the beginning of next year. Ms. Nunn added she wanted to advise the Commission about the Hiring Center. I am not sure if you are aware that the City of Carlsbad has had a Hiring Center for a while now. They recently changed contract and Interfaith Community Services is now in charge of the Hiring Center. Interfaith Community Services has a grand opening on April 5th. I wanted to give the Commission invitations to the grand opening. Not only is the Hiring Center moving out of the modular trailer that it was in over by the water building, it is moving in to a new location on Palmer Way, and they will also have case management, employment training, job readiness, ESL classes, Cal Fresh applications for people to apply; Cal Fresh is the new term for food stamps or a food supplement program, and then they will have storage for emergency food supplies and hygiene items for clients. In May of 2016, the City Council approved $600,000 of Community Block grant money to assist Interfaith with the property acquisition and the building that they are now in. It is easily accessible to residents from all over the city as it is just off of El Camino Real and Faraday. It is conveniently located by the bus route. We are excited about that, and it is down the street from La Posada de Guadalupe. That is all of the announcements.

In addition, the Plan advises HUD and members of the public the PHA's mission and strategies for serving the needs of low-income and very low-income families for the next five years. The 5-Year Plan covering fiscal years 2015 -2019 was approved by the Community Development Commission on April 7, 2015.
