HomeMy WebLinkAbout2019-04-09; Community Development Commission; ; Approval of the FY 2019 Public Housing Agency Annual PlanAnnually, the PHA is required to identify any PHA Plan elements that have been revised since
the last Annual Plan submission. There is one area that has been revised and is addressed in
the CY 2019 Annual PHA Plan Elements segment:
• Financial Resources -the amount of funding received for housing assistance payments
and program administration has changed since the last reporting period. For CY 2018,
the Housing Agency received Annual Contributions totaling $7,170,531. Of that amount,
$6,590,187 was for rental assistance payments and $580,344 for program operating
expenses. The funding amount received for CY 2018 is an increase by approximately
$99,000 over CY 2017 funding allocations.
Further, the PHA needs to indicate the progress in meeting the goals and objectives identified
in the last approved and adopted 5-Year PHA Plan. The purpose of the 5-Year PHA Plan is to
identify goals and objectives to serve the needs of families, over the next 5 years, who are 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 AMI).
The goals are:
1. Expand the supply of assisted housing by leveraging private or other public funds; and
collaborate with private developers and non-profit agencies to create additional housing
opportunities.
Carlsbad's affordable housing ordinance assists in the development of new
affordable housing units; resulting in an increase of affordable rental housing
that is available for low-income households. In 2018, Portola Senior Apartments
was built and provided 101 rental units for low-income seniors (55 years or
older) and Sea Grove Town homes provided 6 affordable units for purchase.
2. Improve the quality of assisted housing and improve voucher management.
Carlsbad Housing Agency has been designated by HUD as a High Performing
Housing Agency for FY 2015, 2016, and 2017;
Housing Assistance costs were within the HUD funding allocation;
Reporting rate to HUD is at 100%; and
Converted to a new Section 8 software program to streamline processing
functions.
3. Increase assisted housing choices.
Owner outreach to increase awareness and the benefits of the rental assistance
program;
Payment Standards are set between 90% and 110% which allows a broader
range of rental opportunities; and
Hosted a Q&A booth at the San Diego County Apartment Association EXPO.
April 9, 2019 Item #7 Page 2 of 26
4. Promote self-sufficiency and asset development of families and individuals.
Administer the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program;
Collaborate with non-profit organizations and support services; maintain the
Community Resource Directory to provide information on services available; and
Contracted with the Carlsbad Service Center; the Center provides job training,
employment preparedness, food distribution, Cal Fresh application assistance,
and a Hiring Center.
5. Ensure equal opportunity and affirmatively further fair housing.
Contracted with Legal Aid Society of San Diego to provide Fair Housing education
and counseling; and provide landlord and tenant mediation services;
Hosted a Fair Housing workshop for staff and tenants on July 11, 2018;
Staff members attended a Fair Housing and new housing laws workshop on
February 27, 2019; and
Fair Housing information is provided in the lobby and in briefing and move
packets.
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
Staff has been advised of outside resources available for persons who are victims
of domestic violence, dating violence, and sexual assault or stalking;
Brochure titled: Violence Against Women Act-What Applicants, Tenants,
Owners and Landlords Need to Know is available in the lobby and is included in
briefing and move packets. Brochure is also available in Spanish.
HUD form 5380 Notice of Occupancy Rights under the Violence Against Women
Act (VAWA} and HUD form 5382 Certification of Domestic violence, Dating
Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking are included in briefing and move packets.
VAWA Emergency Transfer Plan has been implemented and incorporated into
the Section 8 Administrative Plan.
j The PHA Plan governs the federal funds allocated for administration of the Section 8 Rental
Assistance Program. For calendar year (CY) 2018, the City of Carlsbad's funding allocation was
$6,590,187 for rental assistance payments and $580,344 for program operating expenses. It is
expected that HUD will publish and release the funding allocations for CY 2019 in April. It is
currently anticipated that the amount of funding received for rental assistance payments will
provide rental subsidies for approximately 540 families. Over the last few years, federal
funding for program administration has either stayed the same or declined while program
operating expenses have increased. An operating funding shortfall could impact the Affordable
Housing Trust Fund. The amount is not determinable at this time.
Next Steps
Once the Plan is approved, the following documents and public comment items are required to be
executed and submitted to HUD 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);

hearing.
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.

45 days prior to adoption by the Community Development Commission. The public review
period will end on April 9, 2019 with a public hearing before the Community Development

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,Un.its to rent to Section 8 participants. The
PHA maintains an ongoing list of available rental units and pa~ibl~~ting owners/property managers. The list is
available in the lobby and is updated on a monthly basis. W~in'frstings from owners/property managers are

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.

Exhibit 2
Ms. Bobbi Nunn, Housing Program Manager, gave her presentation on the Carlsbad Public Housing Agency
Annual Plan.
Commissioner Evans asked if there are any new projects coming up for affordable housing.
Ms. Nunn said she cannot answer that question but Debbie can.
Ms. Fountain answered there are a few projects on the horizon right now. One is Marja Acres on El Camino
Real. It will be a SO-unit senior affordable housing apartment for low income. The Pacific Wind project
on Carol Place and Harding that we brought to you a while ago made it through for approval with the City
Council. There was a lawsuit with that project and it was settled last year. We already approved funding
for this project so they will not be coming back asking for more funding. That one ended up being 87 units
for family for rent. It is a great location as it is across from a school.

We are still waiting for the Veteran's project. That one is a 50 unit apartment across from the Senio r
Center on Harding and also on Oak behind the Smart and Final. That will have 50% of the units for
homeless veterans and the other 50% fo r veterans and their families.
Chairperson Newman asked if there was a new one, Aviara Apartments.
Ms. Fountain answered yes. On Aviara south of Palomar Airport Road there will be a luxury apartment.
They are working on the Environmental Impact Report.
Commissioner Evans asked, so they have not broken ground yet. How long will it be? Are we talking
mont hs or years?

Commissioner Evans asked if that program is open if people need it.
Ms. Fountain said yes. We currently have a space at the Se nior Center with a case worker there on
Mondays and Fridays for interviews. We can get you that information. Another program that we are
trying to figure out a solution to is with the second-dwelling units. There are several in Carlsbad that are
vacant. We would like to encourage them to make that housing available. We would like to come up with
a program to help with the interviews, background checks, credit checks and lease agreements. Most of
the second-dwelling units are studios or one bedroom units so they would be for smaller households. Our
department sends out surveys to those who have second-dwelling units and usually we only rece ive back
about one-third of the ones we send out. They can receive a good income if they rent them out.
Chairperson Evans agreed most people could use the help with renting out a second-dwelling unit.
Ms. Fountain said that staff has sent out letters to those individuals.
Chairperson Newman commented that most of the people who have a second-dwelling unit probably
purchased the property without any intent to rent the unit out. They may have thought they could use it
for a re lative or their own co llege student.

Commissioner Evans said she would like to volunteer for the shared housing program.
Commissioner Newman asked what the Section 8 amounts are for renting a unit.
Ms. Nunn said she believes it is $1562 for a studio, $1749 for a one-bedroom, $2166 for a two-bedroom
and $3256 for a three-bedroom. Our payment standards increased last year. We were given higher
payment standards but not any additional funding. Because of this, we are not able to assist as many
people as before.
Chairperson Newman commented that it is still below market rate for this area.
Ms. Nunn said if you look at the unit count, we received 23 units of mainstream funding for five years of
non-elderly disabled households. We are probably only able to assist 83 percent of that.

Ms. Nunn said the Elder Help shared housing is being promoted to people in our office. A lot of people
would like their own place, but financially that is not always possible.
Ms. Fountain said that a good thing with the Section 8 Program it is not limited to the affordable housing
complexes. A person with a voucher can look for a market rate unit if it meets the payment standards
and the owner is willing to accept it. In the past people wanted their own place, but they are realizing it
is more difficult. With low vacancy rates, there isn't a lot of incentive for owners because they can get
higher rents. There are challenges but there are also opportunities. The rental assistance is helping some
of our homeless clients to get into housing. If we have a homeless family and they qualify and they can
find a suitable unit, staff will assist them. The staff does a great job trying to match up people. Not
everyone can live in Ca rlsbad .
Chairperson Newman made a motion to accept the resolution of the Housing Commission of the City of
Carlsbad, California, recommending approval of the Carlsbad Annual Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan
for fiscal year 2019 and authorization to submit to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
Commissioner Williams seconded the motion.

Our next regular scheduled meeting is next week so we will cancel that. Arlene Carrillo did resign from
the Housing Commission primarily because she had a change in her life situation. There will be some
changes to the boards and commissions directed from the City Council. Some feel the Housing
Commission should have seven members, but we want to make sure there is a work plan that is
appropriate.

The City of Carlsbad Housing & Neighborhood Services
A REPORT TO THE HOUSING COMMISSION
DATE: March 7, 2019
SUBJECT: CARLSBAD PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY ANNUAL PLAN
I. RECOMMENDATION
Staff: Bobbi Nunn
Housing Program Manager
Item No. 1
That the Housing Commission ADOPT Resolution No. 2019-001, RECOMMENDING that the Community
Development Commission APPROVE the Carlsbad Public Housing Agency (PHA} Annual Plan for Fiscal Year
2019 for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
II. BACKGROUND
Housing & Neighborhood Services administers the federally funded Section 8 Rental Assistance Program
for the Public Housing Agency in Carlsbad, which is more specifically known as the Carlsbad Housing
Agency. Pursuant to code of federal regulations (CFR} 24 Part 903, a Public Housing Authority (PHA} is
required to submit a 5-Year and Annual Plan. The 5-Year and Annual PHA Plan provide a basic guide to
PHA policies, rules, and requirements concerning the PHA's operations, programs, and services. 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.
The PHA Plan and any revisions of the plan must be formally adopted by the PHA Board of Commissioners
or other PHA officials. The Community Development Commission is the governing board for the Carlsbad
Housing Agency.
III. DISCUSSION
The Draft PHA Annual Plan is available for public review and comment prior to the Public Hearing and
adoption by the Community Development Commission. The public review period will end on April 9, 2019,
and the Public Hearing is tentatively scheduled for April 9, 2019. All public comments received on the draft
PHA Annual Plan will be addressed and included in the final documents that will be submitted to HUD.
April 9, 2019 Item #7 Page 25 of 26
CARLSBAD PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY ANNUAL PLAN
FEBRUARY 14, 2019
The PHA is required to identify any PHA Plan elements that have been revised since the last Annual Plan
submission. The following areas are addressed:
• Deconcentration and Other Policies that Govern Eligibility, Selection, and Admissions; and
• Financial Resources.
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 on April 7, 2015. 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 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; and
5. Ensure equal opportunity and affirmatively further fair housing.
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.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Housing Commission adopt Resolution No. 2019-001, recommending that
the Community Development Commission approve the Annual PHA Plan for Fiscal Year 2019 for
submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Question 3: Can the city adopt an ordinance to review and approve any property owners t_hat
want to stop providing Section 8 housing?
Answer: The federal government requires owners to enter into an agreement to accept public
subsidies for an individual participant on the Section 8 rental assistance program. These
regulations do not allow for mandatory participation by a rental property owner. Further, given
that the City ~s not party to a contract with the owner, there would not be any ability for the
City to prevent the landlord from exi.ting the program if do.ne consistent with the terms of the
Section 8 agreement and the tenant's lease.
The City Attorn.ey consulted a specialized housing attorney who indicated that the answer
might be different if participation in Section 8 was a condition of approval or if the City
provided funds for the project or otherwise entered into an agreement with the landlord.
It is possible for the City to adopt an ordinance forbidding discrimination against Section 8
tenant5> which has been done by many cities.
Question 4: How many Section 8 units are at Tyler Court Apartments, and at Tavarua Senior
Ap~rtments?
Answer: Tyler Court has a total of 75 units, with 22 receiving Section 8 rental assistance.
Tavarua (Harding S~reet) has a total of SO units, with 11 households receiving Section 8 rental
. assista·nce. Portora (Robertson Ranch) is another senior apartment complex recently
constructed in Carlsbad. It provides for a total of 101 units, with 16 households receiving
Section 8 rental assistance.

Dear Mayor, Council members, City Manager and HNS Director,
Thank you for the opportunity to speak and to say thank you and your staff for an
amazing amount of work that you do all the time.
Since I am on the waiting list for the Section 8 program, I have a vested interest in
knowing what my housing future will look living in Carlsbad.
1. I have general questions about the Public Housing Agency Budget.
2. I have general questions about how this budget fits in with the HNS budget.
3. I have some questions about how the Homeless Response Plan fits into this
HNS budget.
I have included sections from the PHA Annual Budget 2018 and 2019
I have included sections from the Staff Report dated April 9, 2019
I have include sections from the 2018-2019 Fiscal Year Operating Budget/CIP
Please place Carlsbad Housing and Neighborhood Services on the agenda for
Council Meeting discussion and review within the next month or so and before the
close of the Fiscal year. My hope is that we can discuss what is working for Staff
and their priorities and the needs of those in our community who are over 55 yrs.
old, on fixed incomes, and who do not belong to one other class currently covered
under HUD funding or the needs of the Homeless Response Plan.
