CITY OF COSTA MESA 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
2000-2001 ACTION PLAN
Executive Summary
The Action Plan serves as a link between the objectives developed to address
priority housing and community needs identified in the City's 2000-2005 Consolidated
Plan with the annual expenditure of federal resources. The specific time frame covered
by the 2001-2002 Action Plan begins July 1, 2001 and ends June 30, 2002. The City
refers to this time frame as a Fiscal Year (FY); HUD refers to this time frame as a
Program Year (PY).
The Action plan is the portion of the Consolidated Plan that is revised annually. The
Action Plan includes several HUD required components including:
1. Standard Form 424 — This form serves as the City's formal application to HUD
for grant funds for the 2001-2002 PY.
2. Resources — Federal, non-federal and private funds expected to be available to
address priority needs and specific objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan
(including program income). Also, the Action Plan must provide information
regarding the leveraging of non-federal and private resources with federal grant
funds, and how match requirements of HUD programs will be met.
3. Description of Activities to be Undertaken — Activity description information
must be provided in a format prescribed by HUD, that is in table format utilizing
HUD's Community 2020 software. Descriptions of activities include:
■ Number and type of households that will benefit from grant funded activities.
■ Specific local objective and priority needs.
■ Proposed accomplishments.
■ Target date for completion.
CITY OF COSTA MESA 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
4. Geographic Distribution — A description of the geographic distribution of direct
assistance, including information regarding the distribution of federally funded
assistance in areas of minority concentration.
5. Homeless and other Special Needs — An outline specifying the activities that
will be undertaken during the Program Year to address the needs of the City's
households at risk of homelessness, those currently homeless, and persons that
are not homeless, but have special needs. HUD requires that actions to address
the following activities be outlined in detail:
■ Emergency shelter
■ Transitional housing
■ Homelessness prevention
■ Transition to permanent housing
■ Persons with special needs, but not homeless
6. Other Actions - HUD requires the City to reevaluate how the additional
strategies outlined in the Consolidated Plan will be addressed during the
Program Year. These additional strategies include:
■ Addressing obstacles to meeting underserved needs
■ Fostering and maintaining affordable housing
■ Removing barriers to affordable housing
■ Evaluating and reducing lead-based paint hazards
■ Reducing the number of poverty level families
■ Developing institutional structures
■ Enhancing coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
■ Fostering public housing improvements and resident initiatives, and if
applicable, public housing revisions to annual actions plan for Comprehensive
Grant program. If designated as a "troubled" public housing authority by
HUD, the Annual Action Plan must provide a plan to address problems. This
CITY OF COSTA MESA 2 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
element of the Action Plan is not applicable to Costa Mesa since the
City does not operate a public housing authority.
Additionally, the City of Costa Mesa will address its Impediments to Fair
Housing Choice analysis and action plan in this section of the Annual Action
Plan.
7. Program Specific Requirements — There are certain program requirements that
must be included in the Action Plan for the CDBG and HOME programs.
8. Monitoring - The City is required to provide a description of the standards and
procedures the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance
of the Consolidated Plan and the Action Plan.
9. Certifications - HUD requires that the City submit various certifications related
to the implementation of the Consolidated/Annual Action Plan, and the CDBG
and HOME programs.
In compliance with HUD regulations, a 30 -day public comment period was held
so members of the public were afforded the opportunity to review and comment on
proposed activities. A public notice was published in the Newport -Mesa Daily Pilot on
March 25, 2001. The 30 -day comment period commenced on March 26th and ended
April 25. This public notice also announced the HUD -required public hearing. The
Costa Mesa City Council held this public hearing on April 16, 2001. As required, a
summary of all written public comments and comments from public meetings/hearings
are summarized in Attachment 3 Proof of Publication And Summary of Public
Comments.

Other Non -Federal Public and Private Resources
As part of the Action Plan, federal regulations require the City of Costa Mesa to
delineate non-federal and private resources expected to be available to address the
priorty needs and specific objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan. Table 3 below
provides information regarding non-federal and private resources expected to be
available during the 2001-2002 Program Year. Exhibit 1 provides a listing of several
resources available to the City of Costa Mesa to carry out Consolidated Plan activities.
Table 3 - Non -Federal Public and Private Resources For FY 2001-2002
Source: City of Costa Mesa Redevelopment Agency and Housing Community
Development Division
1. The City will continue to participate in MCC program, however due the first come
first served nature of the program it is not possible to estimate total resources the
program will provide Costa Mesa homebuyers.
2. Total includes funds for program administration, rental rehabilitation, first time
homebuyer assistance and other related program costs.
3. Assumes five first trust deeds of $200,000, plus $3.76 million in program funds
from public service providers.
Leveraging of Resources
HUD requires the City to discuss how federal resources to be made available during
the 2001-2002 Program Year will leverage other non-federal public and private
resources.
The City will continue to layer private and non-federal resources with federal
resources especially when gaps in financing of affordable housing projects are
identified. With respect to public services funded with CDBG funds, the City requires all
grant subrecipients to identify other resources they will utilize during the Program Year
to operate and implement CDBG supported activities. It is the City's intent to ensure
CITY OF COSTA MESA 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
adequate non-federal and private funds are available thus minimizing the dependence
on federal funds.
Federal Match Requirements
There is no federal requirement for the City to match CDBG funds with other non-
federal program resources.
The HOME program does require that for every HOME dollar spent, the City
must provide a 25% match with non-federal dollars. HUD allows the City to use various
resources to meet this match requirement. Eligible forms of match include:
■ Cash
■ Value of waived taxes, fees or charges
■ Value of donated land
■ Value of donated materials and/or labor
Costa Mesa will continue to implement its current strategy to match HOME funds
by undertaking projects that blend local and private resources with HOME funds. Based
on past actions, match sources will include the value of waived fees and charges, the
value of donated land, and the value of donated labor/materials. As required, the City
will maintain a log of current match sources including a balance of excess match (if
applicable).
3. ACTIVITIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN
Descriptions of the activities the City of Costa Mesa will undertake during the
2001-2002 Program Year are provided as Attachment 1 (CPD Consolidated Plan
Listing of Proposed Projects). These activities have been selected for
implementation in order to address HIGH priority needs identified in the City's
Consolidated Plan's five-year goals.
CITY OF COSTA MESA 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
Descriptions of activities includes:
■ The number and type of individuals/households that will be assisted by the
proposed activity.
■ Specific local objective and priority need.
■ Location of activity.
■ Proposed start/end dates.
■ Federal funds to be made available.
Attachment 1 provides descriptions of proposed activities the City will undertake
in the format prescribed by HUD, utilizing HUD's Community 2020 software.
4. GEOGRAPHIc DISTRIBUTION
The description of the geographic distribution of federal grant funds is depicted in
Map No. 9. This map provides a view of the City's target area where CDBG resources
will be focused and plots where proposed activities will be located. Additionally, HUD
requires that the City provide information regarding the geographic distribution of HUD
funds and how this distribution relates to areas of minority concentration. Map No. 2
depicts this allocation of resources by project with the concentration of Costa Mesa's
largest minority population — Hispanics.
As these maps indicate, the City of Costa Mesa will focus its Consolidated Plan
funded activities in the community's low- and moderate -income areas - predominately
situated in Costa Mesa's "Westside." Areas of the City outside of the CDBG target
areas will benefit from activities that are limited -clientele in nature, i.e., a
person/household can benefit from federally assisted program provided they meet
program eligibility criteria.
CITY OF COSTA MESA 10 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
5. HOMELESS AND OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS
This portion of the Action Plan delineates the specific activities that the City will
undertake during the 2001-2002 Program Year to address identified objectives and
goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan aimed at implementing the HUD required
Continuum of Care for the homeless strategy. The summary below outlines the
activities the City will carry out during the 2001-2002 Program Year to address the
needs of Costa Mesa's homeless individuals and families, those at risk of becoming
homeless, and households with special needs. It is important to note that the City of
Costa Mesa has established a policy of dedicating 40% of its CDBG public service
grant funds toward homelessness prevention and homeless assistance programs.
These resources not only address the needs of Costa Mesa's homeless, but also
contribute to the regional Continuum of Care strategy for Orange County.
■ Prevention — A portion of CDBG public service will be allocated to activities
that will aim to prevent homelessness. These activities will include `Rent To
Prevent" (i.e., one time payment of rent or utilities to prevent eviction or utility
cut-off). An estimated 300 individuals will receive homelessness prevention
assistance during the 2001-2002 Program Year.
■ Emergency Shelter — A portion of CDBG public service grant funds will be
committed to support emergency shelter and support services programs
offered by community based non-profit agencies. An estimated that 195
individuals will be assisted during the 2001-2002 Program Year with
emergency shelter.
Transitional Housing — Transitional housing is a key component to the City's
Continuum of Care strategy. Transitional housing provides a critical link to
permanent housing and self-sufficiency. The City will provide assistance
(through community based non -profits) to provide transitional housing and
service opportunities to 90 individuals during the 2001-2002 Program Year.
CITY OF COSTA MESA 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
■ Transition to Permanent Housing — Permanent housing will be accessed by
individuals leaving a transitional homeless housing program with the
assistance of community based non -profits. A total of 50 individuals will be
helped to access permanent housing during the 2001-2002 Program Year.
■ Persons With Special Needs That Are Not Homeless But Require Supportive
Housing — During the 2001-2002 Program Year, the housing needs of
persons with special needs will be addressed by supporting programs
administered by local community based non-profit agencies. Individuals with
special needs include victims of domestic violence and the disabled. It is
estimated that 158 individuals will be assisted during the 2001-2002 Program
Year.
6. OTHER ACTIONS
Impediments To Fair Housing Choice
The City of Costa Mesa is required to undertake an analysis of impediments to
fair housing prevalent in the community, and develop an action plan to address
impediments. The City participated in the preparation of a regional Analysis of
Impediments (Al) to Fair Housing. This regional Al was a joint effort of the Fair Housing
Council of Orange County, the County of Orange, and 13 Orange County jurisdictions
that receive federal grant funds from HUD. HUD regulations require that an Al be
prepared in conjunction with the Consolidated Plan cycle (i.e., at least every five years).
The regional Al was prepared in 2000, and covers the time period of program years
2001-2002 through 2005-2006.
The current Al identified impediments to fair housing choice on a regional basis,
and delineates strategies regional partners may undertake to overcome identified
impediments. During the 2001-2002 Program Year the City will undertake the following
actions to address impediments to fair housing choice:
CITY OF COSTA MESA 12 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
Identified Impediments: The regional Al identified the following impediments to fair
housing choice. It is important to note that not all impediments may be present in Costa
Mesa.
1. A need exists for cost sensitive and effective fair housing counseling that
provides comprehensive educational services and fair housing enforcement.
2. There is a need for a pro -active evaluation of fair lending practices in the region
to evaluate, explain and eliminate disparity in lending practices by race and
national origin as evidenced by Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (NMDA)
aggregate report data.
3. Local jurisdictions do not have a formal fair housing education system in place for
employs who impact fair housing issues, such as planning/zoning staff, housing
authority staff, and code enforcement staff.
4. Residents do not have adequate information regarding basic housing rights,
which may lead to an increase in undetected discrimination.
5. Insurance companies may be targeting certain zip codes for higher denial rates
or different terms and conditions.
6. Local entitlement communities may have policies and programs that affect
housing development, which may indirectly act as an impediment to fair housing
choices.
Actions to Address Identified Impediments: The following actions have been
identified in the regional Al as possible actions to address the identified impediments.
CITY OF COSTA MESA 13 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
1. Continue to support fair housing services at an effective and responsive level. It
is anticipated that the Fair Housing Council of Orange County will provide fair
housing services to 850 households during the 2001-2002 Program Year.
2. Undertake a study of regional HMDA data to determine an appropriate coarse of
action, if any. Study may be conducted by grantee staff or outside contractor.
3. Grantees should consider implementing policy requiring all employees whose
position impact fair housing issues to attend fair housing training on an annual
basis.
4. Provide education and outreach services to the community.
5. Conduct an audit of local insurance carriers to determine if there is a problem
with redlining and if so, isolate the basis for higher denial rates.
6. Review and monitor local policies to assess impact on fair housing choice.
Require potential recipients of government funding to assist with affirmatively
further fair housing.
Actions to Address Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs
The need for affordable housing for lower income households and supportive
housing for persons with special needs continues to exceed the available resources.
There are 380 Section 8 and/or Section 202 housing units in Costa Mesa, and 445
assisted living units for the elderly and frail elderly. Both the City and local non -profits
will continue to provide supportive services, home meal delivery, health screening, and
other quality -of -life services for Costa Mesa's seniors.
Affordable housing opportunities for persons with HIV/AIDS are limited. These
facilities are scattered throughout the County. It is not anticipated that the City will be
CITY OF COSTA MESA 14 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
providing resources specifically to assist those afflicted with HIV/AIDS. The City will
support the City of Santa Ana's (the regional recipient of federal Housing Opportunities
for Persons With AIDS funds) and the County Health Care Agency's efforts to meet the
housing and service needs of this special needs population. Additionally, some public
service agencies receiving CDBG public service grant funds may assist persons with
HIV/AIDS.
It is estimated that 975 Costa Mesa residents have physical or mental disabilities
that require specialized housing. A majority of these individuals are in need of
supportive housing. Building requirements for handicap -accessible units are costly.
Due to these costs, developers have been reluctant to undertake the construction of
new handicap -accessible units; thus, the supply has not substantially increased in
recent years. The City, the County of Orange, and non -profits such as Dayle McIntosh,
Regional Center of Orange County, and Goodwill Industries will continue to provide
referral sources for both housing and other needs of the disabled. The City will provide
CDBG funds to the Dayle McIntosh Center for the Disabled during the 2001-2002
Program Year to implement the 68 program which aims to provide resources and
support services to assist persons with disabilities maintain an independent life style.
Also based on statistical data, 719 City residents with drug and/or alcohol
addictions are in need of supportive housing. There are several private recovery homes
operating within the City; however, these recovery homes do not receive City
assistance.
Fostering and Maintaining Affordable Housing
The City of Costa Mesa has identified several actions it will undertake during the
2001-2002 program year to foster and maintain affordable housing. The Consolidated
Plan identified programs such as HOME funded Single Family Rehabilitation Loans and
Neighborhood Improvement Grants as a means to maintain housing currently occupied
by low- and moderate -income homeowners. By providing low interest loans, deferred
payment loans, and grant funds, households are able to bring their residence up to
CITY OF COSTA MESA 15 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
basic housing quality standards and incur no or minimal additional housing costs which
may impact affordability. An estimated 32 housing units will be assisted during the
2001-2002 Program Year. The City's Neighbors For Neighbors program will also assist
in the improvement of 12 housing units during the program year. Homeownership
opportunities will be availed to lower and moderate -income households through
program such as the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) and the Costa Mesa
Redevelopment Agency sponsored Down Payment Assistance.' These programs
foster affordable housing in the community by providing subsidies to eligible households
so they may purchase a home in Costa Mesa. It is estimated that five households will
be assisted by the Redevelopment Agency. Costa Mesa is a participant in the regional
MCC program. Due to the first-come first-served nature of the MCC program it is
increasingly difficult to estimate the number of Costa Mesa homebuyers accessing
these resources on an annual basis. With City will be an active participant in the
regional MCC program, however the City will not attempt to estimate the number of
participants for 2001-2002. Additionally, the City will continue to evaluate proposals for
the development of newly constructed homeownership opportunities proposed by local
for-profit and non-profit developers.
Efforts to foster and maintain the City's supply of rental housing will be supported
by the Redevelopment Agency's Rental Rehabilitation Loan program. It is estimated
that four rental housing units will be rehabilitated with Agency assisted during the 2001-
2002 Program Year. This program will provide resources to owners of rental properties
that are predominately occupied by very low- and low-income households. In exchange
for these financial resources, property owners will maintain rents at affordable levels for
a minimum period of time (term of affordability is dependent upon the amount of
assistance provided by the Agency - five to 15 years), and property
maintenance/occupancy standards. Costa Mesa will also examine the viability of new
acquisition/rehabilitation activities. While this type of program is very costly, it does
result in the creation or renovation of new affordable housing units. Another means the
Households with incomes up to 120% of area median income may be assisted with these non-federal
resources.

City will continue to use to foster and maintain its supply of affordable rental housing is
monitoring of previously assisted units to ensure they still meet minimum housing
quality standards and are occupied by eligible low-income households. While the City
does not operate a public housing authority, it does support the efforts of the Orange
County Housing Authority (OCHA), which the Section 8 program within the city limits.
A total of 436 Section 8 recipients reside in Costa Mesa. Finally, ongoing Code
Enforcement will ensure the quality of Costa Mesa's owner and renter housing supply.
By enforcing housing and building codes, the City's housing stock will be upgraded and
maintained.
Barriers to Affordable Housing
Consolidated Plan data shows that Costa Mesa has an adequate supply of
housing. for its residents; however, it may not be affordable to lower income groups.
The Consolidated Plan identifies several governmental and non-governmental barriers
present in Costa Mesa that may act as obstacles to expanding affordable housing
opportunities. During the 2001-2002 Program Year, the City will implement the
following actions in an effort to overcome barriers.
Governmental barriers include land use controls, entitlement processing/fees,
and building codes. Land use controls are necessary to ensure the orderly and
appropriate development of real property. Costa Mesa's current land use controls are a
combination of policies established from past experiences blended with a perspective
for the future. Compared to neighboring communities, Costa Mesa has designated
more residential land for medium and high density development. It is unlikely that any
further "up -zoning" will take place, thus new housing development will need to seek
other means to increase affordability of developed units. Fees, land dedications, and
public improvements are usually required as part of land development to ensure an
adequate supply of parks, infrastructure capacity, schools, etc. These fees are charged
by the City and other special districts with jurisdiction in Costa Mesa. If resources are
available, the City and/or Redevelopment Agency may consider waiving or providing a
subsidy to offset the impact of fees, thus enhancing the affordability of a housing
CITY OF COSTA MESA 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
project. Fee waivers/subsidies will be considered on a case-by-case basis. To address
the increase costs to a project due to the amount of time needed for permit processing,
the City will continue to utilize a fast-track permit process for City sponsored housing
activities. Presently, City -assisted housing rehabilitation projects receive priority review
during the permit process. Finally, building and housing codes are implemented to
ensure the safety of the community (more specifically, the residents of housing units). It
is unlikely that the City will waive building or housing code requirements as a means to
increase affordability.
Non-government barriers include the availability and cost of land, and the cost of
construction and financing. Since Costa Mesa is essentially "built out," finding vacant
land suitable for housing development is difficult. Assembling smaller parcels into
larger parcels is an option. The City has undertaken an inventory of vacant City owned
property that may be suitable for housing development. These efforts have proven
fruitful, as parcels have been developed into housing in partnership with Habitat For
Humanity.
The cost of financing is a function of national trends and policies. Similarly,
construction costs are predominately based on local economic factors. The City will
continue to consider providing subsidies for housing activities in an effort to enhance
affordability. Subsidies may be in the form of donated or reduced value land, off-site
improvements, and direct subsidies (e.g., gap financing, first time homebuyer
assistance).
Lead -Based Paint
In September 1999, HUD published final regulations for lead based paint hazard
reduction. These new regulations will have a profound impact on the City's housing
rehabilitation programs. In addition to the education and disclosure measures already
in place, new regulations require enhanced testing and comprehensive abatement
procedures, which may include temporary displacement of households. While the
City is poised to implement these regulations, it appears inevitable that many property
CITY OF COSTA MESA 18 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
owners will balk at the added cost of lead paint abatement requirements and forego
improvement of their property with public funds. The financial impact of compliance with
new lead paint regulations may result in more units falling into a state of disrepair as
property owners opt out of City funded rehabilitation programs. The City has revise its
housing rehabilitation program procedures to ensure all required lead paint hazard
reduction controls are put in place. To address this potential financial impact of
complying with new lead paint regulations, the City will provide grants to cover the cost
of lead paint abatement for qualified property owners.
Anti -Poverty Strategy
The City has identified the following actions for the 2001-2002 Program Year to
reduce the number of poverty level families.
1. Continue to support activities that preserve and expand the supply of housing
that is affordable to very low-income households. Activities include funding for
owner occupied and rental housing rehabilitation, and support for OCHA's
Section 8 Rental Assistance program.
2. Continue to support a continuum of housing and service programs that prevent
homelessness and also assist those already homeless.
3. Continue to support code enforcement programs to ensure lower income
households have a safe, decent and appropriate place to live.
4. Continue to support public services that serve the community's lower income
youth, seniors and families. Public services will include counseling, health care,
recreation, and employment services.
CITY OF COSTA MESA 19 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
Structures to Enhance Coordination in the Community
During the 2001-2002 Program Year, the City of Costa Mesa will implement the
following actions to develop an institutional structure and enhance coordination between
public and private housing and social service agencies.
1. Costa Mesa has developed a database of local private and non-profit housing
developers that can be used to enhance communication. Information may be
used during the 2001-2002 Program Year to solicit proposals for affordable
housing activities or to obtain important information regarding Costa Mesa's
housing market.
2. In order to ensure smooth implementation of its first time homebuyers
programs, Costa Mesa may hold educational/information meetings with
private lending institutions, the local Realtor community, and interested
program participants. In the past, these meetings proved beneficial at
enhancing the coordination of the program between buyers, lenders and the
City. Additionally, the City will continue to participate in the Orange County
Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) pool in order to ensure these resources
are utilized in a coordinated manner.
3. Costa Mesa will continue to support and assist with the development of
Orange County's regional Continuum of Care system. This includes
attending regional Continuum of Care Steering Committee quarterly
meetings, providing "Certificates of Consistency" for agencies within its
jurisdiction applying for grant funds from HUD through the County, and
supporting the priority needs of the regional system of care for the homeless.
The regional Continuum of Care Steering Committee is comprised of the
County, Orange County cities, non-profit service providers and affordable
housing developers. Participation in this committee allows the City to better
coordinate the utilization of its limited homeless resources on a local and
regional basis.
CITY OF COSTA MESA 20 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
4. Impediments to fair housing are not necessarily local issues, but tend to be
regional in nature. The City of Costa Mesa participated in the preparation of a
regional Analysis of Impediments (AI) to fair housing. The forum will be used
to enhance communication and coordination of efforts to identify and reduce
housing discrimination.
5. Costa Mesa will continue to participate in the regional lead paint hazards
reduction working group. This is an informal group of Orange County cities
and the County of Orange, which focuses on issues to implement HUD's lead
paint reduction regulations and identify resources/processes to comply with
regulations.
6. Costa Mesa places great emphases on its efforts to coordinate with nonprofits
in order to reduce duplication of efforts and to ensure a full array of services
are available to City residents. The City strongly encourages the use of
coalitions and collaboratives to deliver public services. (Encouragement is
provided by allocating extra rating points for agencies that apply for CDBG
public service grant funds as part of a coalition or collaborative.) Costa Mesa
will continue to encourage the use of collaborative efforts by non -profits thus
helping to improve the efficient and effective utilization of limited CDBG funds.
HUD also requires that the City identify how it will foster public housing
improvements and resident initiatives during the 2001-2002 Program Year. The City of
Costa Mesa does not own or manage public or assisted housing, however, the City will
support the initiatives of the Orange County Housing Authority. It is reported that over
430 Section 8 households reside in Costa Mesa.
CITY OF COSTA MESA 21 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
7. PROGRAM SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
HUD requires that the Annual Action Plan provide evidence that activities to be
funded with federal funds are in compliance with program specific requirements.
CDBG
A summary of planned activities to be funded with CDBG during the 2001-2002
Program Year is provided in Exhibit 2. A detailed listing of the City's proposed use of
funds is provided in Attachment 1. The City anticipates will utilize the program income
accrued during prior years during 2001-2002. Additionally, prior year unexpended
CDBG funds will be reprogrammed for use in 2001-2002. The City has no urban
renewal settlements, grant funds returned to the line of credit, or income from float
funded activities to use during the 2001-2002 Program Year. No urgent need activities
are anticipated in 2001-2002.
HOME
The City of Costa Mesa HOME program for the 2001-2002 Program Year is
designed to preserve existing affordable housing, expand the supply of decent and
affordable housing, and strengthen public-private partnerships. These activities are
summarized in Exhibit 2. All HOME assisted units will have appropriate covenants and
language included in written agreements in accordance with HUD regulations.
Costa Mesa does not anticipate utilizing HOME funds to undertake first time
homebuyer assistance during 2001-2002. If HOME funds are appropriated for this
activity after the beginning of the Program Year, the City will ensure that the Action Plan
is revised and program guidelines include resale provisions or a means to recapture
down payment assistance as required by the HOME program. Similarly, if HOME funds
are used to refinance existing debt on multi -family housing units that are being
rehabilitated with HOME funds, the City will ensure that all applicable HOME guidelines
are included in appropriate contracts and agreements.
CITY OF COSTA MESA 22 2001-2002 ACTION PLAN
4/5/01
8. Monitoring
Careful on-going evaluation of the housing and public service delivery system is
perhaps the most effective tool in detecting problems, service gaps, and for making
appropriate modifications to ensure project/program compliance. Costa Mesa has
instituted a monitoring plan for all subgrantees receiving CDBG public service grant
funds using a HUD suggested format. Monitoring involves in-house review of progress
reports and expenditures and an on-site visit of subgrantees to ensure compliance with
federal regulations. The City's monitoring system encourages uniform reporting to
achieve consistent information on beneficiaries. Technical assistance is provided as
necessary. CDBG and HOME activities are also monitored through monthly
appropriations ledgers and progress reports from program managers. Program
monitoring has been strengthened further with the introduction of the HUD's Community
2020 and IDIS software.
Housing units that are subject to long-term affordability are also monitored. The
HOME program has established time intervals to conduct on-site property inspections.
These intervals are based on the number of units in the HOME assisted project. HOME
required inspections can vary from once per year to once every three years. Costa
Mesa has established a master list of HOME assisted units listing inspection intervals
and dates for the next on-site inspection. To ensure qualified low-income households
occupy rental units, an annual recertification of tenant eligibility is required by the City.
These monitoring efforts will be continued during the 2001-2002 Program Year.

WRITTEN COMMENTS:
No written comments regarding the published 2001-2002 Action Plan have been
received.
ORAL COMMENTS:
March 27, 2001 City of Costa Mesa Redevelopment and Residential Rehabilitation
Committee meeting:
• Mr. Art Luna representing the Dayle McIntosh Center for the Disabled thanked the
City for its continued support with CDBG public service grant funds.
Ms. Sue Lee representing the Assistance League of Newport Mesa wanted to
provide the committee with additional information regarding the reason their dental
program for children does not utilize volunteer dentist. They require paid dentist to
provide their own insurance. If they were to use volunteer dentist, the agency would
be responsible for this very expensive insurance coverage.
• Ms. Tammy Blackman-Dowley representing Girls, Inc. provided additional
clarification as to the limitation of their programs for females.
• George Neureuther representing the Someone Cares Soup Kitchen, provided
clarification regarding their program. They were unable to finalize a partnership
agreement with THINK Together, and were seeking new agencies to provide tutoring
services on a subcontract basis.
• Ms. Debby O'Connor representing FISH -Harbor area thanked the City for its
continued support with CDBG public service grant funds.
• Mr. Oscar Santoyo, representing Save Our Youth, thanked the City for its continued
