ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Housing & Neighborhood Services Department for the City of Carlsbad administers the
federally funded Section 8 Rental Assistance Program for the Public Housing Authority. Pursuant
to code of federal regulations 24 Part 903, a Public Housing Authority is required to submit a 5--
Year and Annual Plan. The 5-Year and Annual PHA Plan provide a basic guide to Public Housing
Agency's policies, rules, and requirements concerning the Public Housing Agency's operations,
programs and services. In addition, the Plan advises HUD and members of the public of the
Public Housing Agency's mission and strategies for serving the needs of low-income and very low-
income families.
For a 5-Year Plan update, the Public Housing Agency is required to complete the Public
Housing Agency Missions, Goals and Objectives that will enable the agency to serve the needs
of low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income families. In addition, as a High
Performing Housing Agency, the only requirement for the PHA Annual Plan is to identify PHA
Plan elements that have been revised since the last Annual Plan submission. The areas that
need to be addressed in the PHA Plan Update segment are: Financial Resources; Rent
Determination, specifically Payment Standards; Fiscal Year Audit; and efforts concerning the
Violence Against Women Act.
Once the Plan is approved, the following documents must be submitted in addition to the PHA
Plan template (form HUD 50075):
• Form HUD-50077, PHA Certifications of Compliance with the PHA Plans and
Related Regulations (which includes all certifications relating to Civil Rights); and

ITEM NOT ON AGENDA
There were no items not on the agenda.
NEW BUSINESS
Debbie Fountain, Director of Housing and Redevelopment, presented the item on the agenda which is our
Carlsbad Public Housing Agency 5-Year and Annual Plan and Bobbi Nunn, our Housing Program
Manager, will be making the presentation to you tonight.
Ms. Nunn presented the City of Carlsbad's 5-Year Annual and Public Housing Agency Plan. The Public
Housing Agency Plan is pursuant to the code of federal regulations, the CFR 24 Part 903, which requires
that a housing authority submit a 5-Year and Annual Housing Agency Plan. The purpose of the plan is to
provide a basic guide to the agency's policies and rules, the agency's programs and services that they
provide, how they are operated, and most importantly, the agency's mission and strategies on how they
are going to address the needs for extremely low, very low and low income households within the
Carlsbad community.
The 5-Year Plan and each Annual Plan must be adopted by the Public Housing Agency's board, which is
the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. A copy of the 5-Year and Annual Plan is submitted to the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development along with the Certification of Compliance, which
basically states that we are in compliance with our Housing Agency Plan and related federal regulations,
which govern the program. Any advisory board comments, comments from the Housing Commission, will
also be included in the Plan; and any elements of the Plan, which are challenged during the public review
period and the public hearing, also need to be submitted with a copy of the Plan.
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
MARCH 11, 2010
PAGE 2 of 6
The Plan does require public participation; the public review and comment period ends on April 12, 2010.
A public hearing is tentatively scheduled for April 13, 2010. Any public comments will be addressed in the
final PHA Plan that is submitted to the Housing and Urban Development Department.
The 5-Year Public Housing Agency Plan mission is to promote adequate and affordable housing and to
improve or enhance the quality of life and sense of community. The 5-Year Plan identifies the housing
agency's mission and the housing agency's mission has changed somewhat in that we are now going to
be in support of the mission of Housing & Neighborhood Services, which is now what the Housing and
Redevelopment Department is being referred to as. The Housing & Neighborhood Services mission is to
improve or enhance the quality of life and sense of community for those who live and or work in Carlsbad.
The 5-Year Plan also needs to identify the goals and objectives on how the needs of low-income
households will be assisted in the conning five years.
The first goal is that we want to expand the housing opportunities here in Carlsbad. The objectives to
attain these goals is to apply for additional funding when it is available and funding that would further
Carlsbad's initiatives. The other objective is to continue to leverage private and/or public funds and to
utilize our housing trust funds through the city's inclustonary housing ordinance. In addition, utilizing
HOME and CDBG funds to expand assisted housing.
The second goal is to improve the quality of assisted housing that is available. The means to do this is to
improve program management by continually improving the management of the program and continue to
be ranked as a high performing housing agency in accordance with the HUD guidelines; continue to be
aware of the customer satisfaction, whether the customer be a client receiving rental assistance or an
owner who is participating and partnering'with the Housing Agency; also to fully utilize the funding that is
available so that we are able to assist as many families as possible and provide them safe and sanitary
housing in an affordable manner.
The third goal is to increase housing choices by doing outreach to owners and maintaining good
relationships with curre'ii^pwners. We are able to increase the rental choices that are in the community by
doing so. In addition, we make sure th£ payment standards are reasonable so that rentals are available in
all areas within the city andwe are not limiting the number of rentals that are available to our clients. The
Housing Agency continues tof operate a Family Self-Sufficiency Program to help those clients become
self-sufficient by working withj them to identify individual barriers to success and to overcome those
barriers by referring the families to resources that are available that can help them. At this point, the
Family Self-Sufficiency Program for the_City of Carlsbad is coming to the end. We have seven families
that are still involved. Sincere don't receive funds to administer that program any longer, we are
basically phasing that program out. Unless there is some funding that becomes available to support it,
and then we will apply for those funds.
We also continue to collaborate with pur local non-profit and social service agencies so that we are aware
of what resources there are out there to help not only for our Family Self-Sufficiency participants, but
clients who are on our program as well.
The fifth goal is to further equal opportunity and fair housing. The way the Housing Agency will be doing
that in the next year is to continue education. We have educational materials that are always available, as
well as when our clients are moving or when they are first getting on the program, they are briefed on the
fair housing laws and what recourses they have if they feel they have been discriminated against. We
also provide reasonable accommodations, if our clients are requesting reasonable accommodation, as
much as we financially can do so and if it is reasonable, then we do accommodate them. The City of
Carlsbad, through the Housing Agency, continues to contract with the Center for Social Advocacy, which
also provides advocacy for fair housing issues.
As far as the Annual Public Housing Plan, the only thing that needs to be addressed are any elements that
have been revised since the last Plan, which was submitted last fiscal year. There were four areas that
had been revised. Those are:
• The financial resources available;
• The rent determination, our payment standards changed effective October 1, 2009;
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
MARCH 11,2010
PAGE 3 of 6
• Our fiscal year audit; and
• Violence Against Women's Act (we did actually identify that in our last Annual Plan, but in
notifications we are receiving from HUD, they wanted us to address it again).
For the Annual Public Housing Agency Plan, our financial resources changed. For calendar year 2009,
our annual contributions for the rental assistance program were 4.9 million dollars. This is actually quite a
bit less than what we anticipated to receive because HUD required us to spend down money that we had
in our reserve funds for housing assistance payments. We will be seeing an increase in this next coming
year because we successfully did that.
Our rent determination has changed in that payment standards were! revised effective October 1, 2009.
The payment standards have actually been reduced. However, it:has not impacted any of our clients as of
yet. The reason why the payment standards were reduced is .because the fair market rents that were
published by HUD back in October were reduced. So we are still keeping our standards as high as we
possibly can in order for our clients to be able to find suitable housing when they have to move. We also
still need to make sure that the standards are in line with what the current market rates are. We don't
want to overinflate the market by allowing a higher payment standard than what rents are actually renting
for.
In our fiscal year audit for year-end June 2009, there were no audit findings. As far as the Violence
Against Women's Act, our staff continues to be advised of outside resources that are available for children
or adult victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking. We have brochures that
are available in our lobby that are titled, "Violence Against Women's Act: What Applicants, Tenants,
Owners and Landlords Need to Know." sThose brochures are also made available when we have new
clients coming on the program. Also, when wesdo^wner outreach workshops, we provide those
brochures. :
't,
Our fiscal year 2005/2009 progress report is an attachment to this Plan for the Public Housing Agency
goal of expanding housing, we did add a total of 305 affordable units in the last five years; Cassia Heights
provided 56 units in 2005; there were three units that were provided in 2006 through the Laguna Point
project; 168 units at Hunters Point in 2007; and then in 2008 there was an additional 78 units through the
Glen Ridge apartment development.
The Housing Agency was .able to attain a 98% reporting rate, which is really important because that is the
data source that HUD uses when they are ranking the Housing Agency. The last two fiscal years, the
Carlsbad Housing Agency has maintained a High Performer ranking from the Housing and Urban
Development and then prior to that, we were ranked as Standard Performer.
We also have continued to utilize our HUD funding allocation. That is important too, because that is one
of the indicators that HUD ranks on when they are looking at our SEMAP indicators, which stands for
Section Eight Management Assessment.
Just to give you some general current program information, the number of households that we assisted
last month was 595, and that included 61 clients that are port-ins from other agencies. This number has
gone down a little bit as a result of the increase in our monthly housing assistance payments. A lot of our
clients have had reductions in their social security income, their SSI payments and so that in turn has
increased the amount of money that we are paying towards rental assistance payments. Also, several of
our clients either had their hours cut or have lost their jobs completely. That also has impacted our
program. Our average monthly payment is now at $796. The last time I came to you, fiscally it was $746
per month. It has gone up $50, which is a 7% increase.
Regarding the waiting list, we have 1,185 applicants on the waiting list and 31% of those families are
applicants who are elderly. This number will fluctuate because we are still going through the process of
purging the waiting list. When we are ready to pull people from our waiting list, we will have a fresh pull of
local residents that have the highest priority. Also, when we pull the applicants from the waiting list, we will
be able to fill those spots quickly. The goal is for us to have current information.
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
MARCH 11,2010

Our calendar year 2010 funding update is based on last week's information, we will be receiving 5.96
million in renewal funding and then $561,707 in administrative funds to operate the program. That
concludes the presentation.
Commissioner Igoe said on the last page of the presentation, is the number 5.96 million, the renewal
funding, is that for five years?
Ms. Nunn answered no, this would be just for the calendar year 2010. Before we were funded based on
our fiscal year, and now HUD determines their funding based on federal fiscal year, which starts in
October. When they allocate funds to the agencies, they are allocating for calendar year. Based on the
2010 calendar year budget that was approved the end of last month, this is the amount of money that we
are expected to receive. We are hoping that the administrative funds will go up. That is based on the
number of units that we have leased. Since we have a little bit of extra money coming in for our housing
assistance payments, we will possibly be absorbing some of our port-ins to increase our administrative
funds because when we are administering port-ins from other jurisdictions, often times the money we
receive is not as much as we receive if they were within our program.
Commissioner Wrisley asked if the public hearing, the 'Housing and Redevelopment Commission, is that
the City Council sitting as the Housing and Redevelopment Commission?
Ms. Nunn answered yes.
Chairperson Smith said Ms. Nunn stated there is a waiting list of about 1,000 or more.
Ms. Nunn said that is what shows up in our computer, yes.
Chairperson Smith asked when will people be able to make application and when will these applicants be
taken care of? •, <
Ms. Nunn said realistically, all the 1,000 people who are on our waiting list would probably never be served
because many of them are still non-residents and unless they are a resident or working in Carlsbad, they
are considered not as great of a priority, pur directive has been to assist members of the community or
people who are working in our community first with the limited funding that we do have available. Of our
waiting list, approximately a third of that 1,185 number are people who would actually meet our highest
priority. So once we assist those families, we will probably look at opening the waiting list. Again, that
decision will probably come back to the Housing Commission.
Chairperson Smith commented that we don't know when.
Ms. Nunn answered no. We actually had hoped that it would have been before now, but because of the
economy that really put a big impact on our funding and what we were able to do with it. We are assisting
less families now than we were last year just because of the way the economy impacted our clients and in
turn impacted the amount of fnoney that we are paying out each month in assistance payments.
Chairperson Smith said than what Ms. Nunn is saying is that no one has been called.
Ms. Nunn said no one has been called off our waiting list since June 2009.
Commissioner Kirk said with regard to priorities, are port-ins our highest priority?
Ms. Nunn said at this point, they both are. They are a higher priority in that we just don't receive that much
money in order to administer them. We receive more money if they are showing up under our numbers.
The fact that they are already within our city and receiving assistance, we have this additional funds so it is
a way to get our numbers up so that we can get more administrative funds so then we can start looking at
the waiting list.
Commissioner Kirk asked what is the timeline for having the waiting list refreshed with viable candidates?
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
MARCH 11,2010
PAGE 5 of 6
Ms. Nunn said it is at the point of being done. When you are at the point when you are pulling names off
the waiting list, it is a three to four month process because you are sending out the information, you are
getting them to fill out the information, waiting for it to return, and then you have to turn around and send
out the verifications to make sure all the information they are stating is actually true and correct and that
we can verify it. Once that happens, they go through the process of being determined eligible and then
briefed on how the program works and then they can go out and look for a place.
Commissioner Kirk said one more question along that line. Is there a way to prequalify candidates which
we would consider high priority within Carlsbad so that they could, in fact, be brought in quickly rather than
a gap with the port-ins even though the port-ins are important? Just so we can balance that out and
increase the ratio of viable candidates within Carlsbad and have a balance between that and port-ins.
Ms. Nunn said the only issue with prequalifying would be that the verifications have to be within 60 days.
Otherwise, they have to be reverified so that is one of the constraints we are working with.
Commissioner Kirk said he would certainly like to see us be able to actually have a priority.
Ms. Nunn said this would be a stop gap so in the meantime we can do that to get the numbers up initially,
but then that way it gives us some breathing time to start the process of pulling names off the list. One of
the other situations that is involved is that we are not only cleaning our waiting list to make sure that we
have the most current information, we are also working with our other housing agencies so if they by
chance have any of our clients on their waiting list that we are not aware of, that we are pulling those
people in as well. Because they may have older dates that they'are not aware that they should be on our
waiting list instead. We are working with the'other he-using agencies to make sure that whoever they have
on their waiting list that if we don't have them on our 'waiting list, that we are reaching out to them and
saying they should be on the City;of Carlsbad's waiting list because this is now where you live and this is
where you are going to have the greater priority.
Commissioner Kirk said regarding the renewal funding, how much renewal funding did we have last year
and the year before that?
Ms. Nunn answered she would have:io get back to him qirthe year before that. Last year we received 4.9
million. Before we used to be able to keep up to two months full HAP in reserves and then they changed
that to one month so we had to spend down some of our money that we had. So 4.9 is what we actually
received from HUD in addition to what we already had in reserves.
Commissioner Kirk asked, is that including administrative funds?
Ms. Nunn said no, that is just strictly for housing assistance payments. She asked Commissioner Kirk if
he would like to know what it was for the year before?
Commissioner Kirk said that is not necessary. If she had the information at hand, it would be great, but
last year's information is fine.
Commissioner Igoe congratulated Ms. Nunn on getting the High Performer rating from HUD. That just
shows a lot of hard work and a lot of team work.
Ms. Nunn said her staff is very diligent.
Chairperson Smith thanked Ms. Nunn for explaining everything to the Commission. These people work
hard. I would like to ask if there are no other questions, would somebody read the resolution so we can
vote on this.
Commissioner Igoe made a motion to adopt the Resolution 2010-001 recommending that the Housing
and Redevelopment Commission approve the Carlsbad Public Housing Agency PHA 5-Year and Annual
Plan for fiscal year 2010 for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Housing and Redevelopment Commission APPROVE the Carlsbad Public Housing Agency

II. BACKGROUND
Housing & Neighborhood Services administers the federally funded Section 8 Tenant-Based
Rental Assistance Program for the Public Housing Authority 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 provides 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.
III. DISCUSSION
The Draft PHA 5-Year and Annual Plan is available for public review and comment prior to a
Public Hearing and adoption by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. The public
review period will end on April 12, 2010 and the Public Hearing before the Housing and
Redevelopment Commission is tentatively scheduled for April 13, 2010. Public comments on
the Draft PHA 5-Year and Annual Plan will be addressed and included in the final document.
For a 5-Year Plan update, the PHA is required to complete the PHA Missions, Goals and
Objectives that will enable the PHA to serve the needs of low income, very low-income, and
extremely low-income families. In addition, the PHA is required to identify any PHA Plan
elements that have been revised since the last Annual Plan submission. The only areas that
need to be addressed in the PHA Plan Update segment are: Financial Resources; Rent
Determination, specifically Payment Standards; Fiscal Year Audit; and efforts concerning the
