Executive Summary The Housing & Homeless Services Department, operating as the Carlsbad Housing Agency, administers the federal Housing Choice Voucher Program on behalf of the City of Carlsbad. This program provides federal funds that the housing agency uses to help low-income and very low- income families within Carlsbad with housing. As part of this program, the City Council, acting as the Community Development Commission, is being asked to approve an annual plan that is aligned with the five-year Public Housing Agency Plan. The plan serves to inform the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the local community about the housing agency's overarching mission and strategic initiatives aimed at meeting the needs of low-income and very low-income families within its jurisdiction. The plan must be formally adopted by the housing agency’s board of commissioners. The City Council, acting as the Community Development Commission, is the governing board for the Carlsbad Housing Agency and the Housing Commission makes recommendations to the Community Development Commission on housing related matters. Explanation & Analysis The Housing Choice Voucher Program is governed by federal regulations, which allow local discretion on some policy decisions and administrative procedures. Federal law requires every public housing agency to file a five-year public housing agency plan with HUD as well as an annual plan that is consistent with the five-year plan. April 16, 2024 Item #11 Page 1 of 15 COMMUNITY DEVE OPMENT COMM,HS.II01 N Staff Report The Carlsbad 5-Year Public Housing Agency Plan outlines objectives intended to address the needs of low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income families. These objectives include expanding the supply of government-assisted housing, increasing assisted housing choices, promoting self-sufficiency and asset development of families and individuals, and ensuring equal opportunity and affirmatively further fair housing. Every public housing agency is required each year to identify any elements of the plan that have been revised since its last annual plan was submitted. There is one area that has been updated for this period: Financial resources - The overall funding received for housing assistance payments and program administration increased by approximately 9% in the 2023 calendar year. 2021 2022 2023 Annual contributions $9,006,045 $9,074,705 $9,861,136 For rental assistance payments $8,145,383 $8,365,470 $9,167,172 For program operating expenses $860,662 $709,235 $693,964 The Housing Commission passed a resolution on April 11, 2024, recommending approval of the annual plan for 2024-25 (Exhibit 2). Community Engagement The Carlsbad Housing Agency 2024-25 Public Housing Agency Plan was available for public review and comment for 45 days before it was considered by the Community Development Commission. Public comments from the public review period and the public hearing will be included in the final public housing agency plan to be submitted to HUD. Fiscal Analysis There is no direct fiscal impact associated with approving these plans. The programs in the public housing agency plan receive federal funds allocated for administration of the rental assistance program. Next Steps All required documents will be executed and submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban Development along with any public comments. Environmental Evaluation This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
