CARLSBAD PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY 5-YEAR PLAN
Recommended Action
No action is required at this time. The 5-Year Plan is being introduced for discussion and
comment.
Executive Summary
Housing & Neighborhood Services administers the federally funded Section 8 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 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 famili es
for the next five years.
Analysis
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% ofthe AMI),
and extremely low-income (under 30% of the AMI) families for the next five years.
The goals that are addressed 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. Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Goals
Attached is the FY 2015-2019 PHA 5-Year Plan for the Housing Commission's information and
background. The Housing Agency is seeking input for the next 5-Year Plan (FY 2020-2025), to
determine if there are any changes in the priorities or needs of the community.
Next Steps
The PHA 5-Year Plan is required to be available for public review and comment prior to a Public ·
Hearing and adoption by the City Council who acts as the Community Development Commission
for this process. The public review period is 45 days and the 5-Year Plan is due to the Housing and
Urban Development Department (HUD) prior to April 17, 2020. In addition, a Public Hearing will
be scheduled when the Community Development Commission hears this item. All public
comments received on the PHA 5-Year Plan will be addressed and included in the final documents
that will be submitted to HUD.
The draft PHA 5-Year Plan will be presented to the Housing Commission during the public review
and comment period for recommendation to the Community Development Commission.
Environmental Review
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.

Integrated Pest Manaaement Policy (1PM)
When bed bugs are reported:
1. Housing representative will inquire what the provisions are in the lease or rental agreement
in regards to pest management/extermination. If the· lease does not state who is
responsible, the violation will be assigned to the owner.
2. PHA must receive written documentation by a licensed pest control company that all bed
bugs have been exterminated and unit is cleared from any hazard of bed bugs. This
documentation must be received by the re-inspection date.
Page 4 of9 form HUD-50075 ( 4/2008)
6.0
Cont.
3. Abatement/termination will be processed if adequate documentation is not received timely.
A proactive owner extension may be granted if documentation is received from a licensed
pest control company stating that the extermination is taking place but additional
treatments are required. Units that are not treated and cleared of the bed bug infestation
will be added to the noncompliant unit list.
When bed bugs are discovered after entering an assisted unit:
1. At the inspection, an inquiry will be made by the PHA inspector as to whether there have
been any issues with the unit in general; including any issues with infestation. If the PHA
inspector is already in a unit and the family reports there are bed bugs or live bed bugs are
evident, the inspector will immediately exit the unit and explain to the family that the PHA
does not allow inspectors to enter units with a known bed bug infestation. After exiting the
unit, PHA staff will explain the bed bug policy to the family and advise them if they have any
questions to contact the Housing Program Manager.
2. The policy listed above under "When bed bugs are reported" will be followed.
3. Once the PHA has received confirmation from a licensed pest control company that the bed
bugs have been eliminated, the inspection will be rescheduled.
4. The participant will be advised that any future suspected issues with bed bug infestation
should be reported immediately to the property owner or their agent. If the property owner
or agent is not responsive in an appropriate timeframe, the participant needs to contact the
housing agency immediately.
