The City experienced a 93.5% growth rate in the 1960's primarily attributable to the completion of the San Diego Freeway permitting access to Los Angeles, and construction of a major regional mall, South Coast Plaza. Since 1970, population growth became more moderate and steady with rates above one percent per year. According to the California Department of Finance, as of January 1, 2002 there were 110,700 persons residing in the City (the 48th largest city in California in terms of population), an increase of 1.3% from January 1, 2001. By comparison, Orange County's population grew 2.1 % during the same time period and the State of California grew at a rate of 1.9%. As the City's population has grown, Costa Mesa has becomemore racially and ethnically diverse.

Over 13,000 of Costa Mesa's residents live below the poverty level (8.2% of Costa Mesa families). Conversely, 19.1 % of Costa Mesa families had incomes of $100,000 or more. Over one-third (35.9°/%) of Costa Mesa residents are employed in management, professional or related occupations.

CITY OF COSTA MESA 2 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan The City's 2000-2005 Consolidated Plan reports the majority of households that are "housing cost burdened" are low-income renter households.2 In 1990, 45.8% of renter households "overpaid" for housing and 33% of owner households overpaid for housing. According to the 2000 Census, 40.6% of renter households paid 30% or more of their income for rent, while 33.4% of homeowners paid 30% or more of income for housing. 3 Costa Mesa housing rental rates vary based on unit size, location and type (e.g., detached home, duplex, large apartment complex, etc.). According to the Orange County Register average rents range from $840 for a studio unit to $1,600 for a 3 - bedroom unit (average 2 -bedroom rents for $1,200 per month). In February 2003, the Newport -Mesa Daily Pilot reported the median home value of Costa Mesa's 92626 zip code at $402,000, with the 92627 zip code area reporting a median value of $359,000. The 2000 Census reports that 76.5% of Costa Mesa's housing stock was constructed before 1980. Over one third of the City's housing stock is "1 -unit detached" housing. Table 2 provides an overview of Costa Mesa's mix of housing units.

Severe cost burden is when a household pays more than 50% of their income for housing. 3 U.S. Census Bureau, Profile of Selected Housing Characteristics, Census 2000 Summary File 3. CITY OF COSTA MESA 3 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan According to Census data, occupancy rates are very low for both owner occupied (0.8%) and rental occupied housing (2.8%). Of the City's 40,399 housing units, 59.5% of occupied housing units were "renter" occupied and 40.5% were owner occupied. The majority of the City's housing units have three to four bedrooms (34.6%), however approximately 31 % have five to six bedrooms; the average Costa Mesa housing unit has 4.2 bedrooms. To date, current information regarding overcrowded and substandard housing has not been fully developed. According to the City's Consolidated Plan, in 1990, 995 households in the City were overcrowded. Eighty- seven percent of the overcrowded households in Costa Mesa were renters in 1990. (Note: Overcrowding is defined by the Census as more than one person per room. Generally, a room is defined as living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and finished recreation rooms. Overcrowding generally occurs when larger households occupy a smaller housing unit.) Recent economic trends have positioned many households in fragile financial conditions. The loss of employment or a major illness can quickly escalate into a dire financial situation perhaps ending in homelessness. Additionally, over the past years numerous studies and widespread speculation as to how and why people become and remain homeless have been undertaken. Attempts to measure the extent of homelessness on a national scale through Census counts and estimation invariably draw criticism from homeless advocates, civic leaders, and government officials. To date, there are no commonly accepted, reliable figures on the number of homeless people on any given night. The 1990 Census gathered data on homeless populations in a special operation titled "Shelter and Street Night". The 1990 "Shelter and Street Night" identified 267 homeless persons in the City of Costa Mesa, most of which (223 to 265), were found in emergency shelters. A 1995 survey by the Orange County Housing Issues Task Force found approximately 579 homeless people in 1995. Of these, 225 were served by local shelters. No reliable estimates have been prepared by HUD utilizing current Census data. The County of Orange estimates over 20,000 individuals are at -risk of becoming homeless or are homeless in Orange County at any point in time. CITY OF COSTA MESA 4 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan As an "older" Orange County community, Costa Mesa's public infrastructure has begun to show wear. To ensure valuable resources are targeted toward the most needy projects the City has created a rating system to prioritize the reconstruction of streets and sidewalks. Additionally, a list of priority transportation projects has been established; projects are aimed at improving the flow of traffic throughout the City. Finally, a list of recreation needs has been prepared in order to prioritize the creation and upgrading of recreation facilities and parks. In addition to the physical needs of the City, efforts have been undertaken to identify and prioritize the human needs of Costa Mesa's residents. Through the Consolidated Plan process, the needs of seniors citizens, youth, the disabled, and residents in general have been identified as priority needs meriting public funding. 2003-2004 Action Plan 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 (specifically CDBG and HOME funds). These objectives and priorities have been developed in support of the City's vision statement for community revitalization, i.e., effective and efficient utilization of federal funds to prevent or eliminate conditions of blight and address the priority needs of Costa Mesa's lower income households. The specific time frame covered by the 2003-2004 Action Plan begins July 1, 2003 and ends June 30, 2004. 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 — These forms serve as the City's formal application to HUD for grant funds for the FY 2003-2004.

The Consolidated Plan contains several tables that delineate housing and community needs and five-year goals to address these needs. Exhibit I provides a summary of these tables and also "Year 1 and 2" accomplishments (i.e., 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 Program Years) toward meeting five-year goals. This table will be updated annually upon the completion of a program year. 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 24, 2003. The 30 -day comment period commenced on April 7 2003 and ended May 6, 2003. This public notice also announced the HUD -required public hearing. The Costa Mesa City Council held this public hearing on April 7, 2003.

This map provides a view of the City's target area where CDBG resources may be utilized and plots where FY 2003-2004 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 the allocation of resources by project layer with the concentration of Costa Mesa's largest minority population — Hispanics. These maps are based on recently released 2000 Census data. Maps indicate that the City may 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. 5. HOMELESS AND OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS This portion of the Action Plan delineates the specific activities that the City will undertake during FY 2003-2004 to address the 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 proposes to carry out during 2003-2004 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 include the "Rent To CITY OF COSTA MESA 14 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3127/03 2003-2004 Action Plan Prevent" program (i.e., one time payment of rent or utilities to prevent eviction or utility cut-off). This program will also provide food to households in need. An estimated 2,000 individuals will receive homelessness prevention assistance during the 2003-2004 fiscal year. ■ Emergency Shelter — A portion of CDBG public service grant funds will be committed to support emergency shelter and support services offered by community based nonprofit agencies. It is estimated that 165 individuals will be assisted during FY 2003-2004 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 nonprofits) to provide transitional housing and service to 84 individuals during the 2003-2004 fiscal year. ■ Transition to Permanent Housing — Permanent housing will be accessed by individuals leaving a transitional homeless housing/supportive care programs with the assistance of community based nonprofits. A total of 45 individuals will be helped to access permanent housing during FY 2003-2004. ■ Persons With Special Needs That Are Not Homeless But Require Supportive Housing — During the 2003-2004 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, the disabled and persons recovering from substance abuse. It is estimated that 149 individuals will be assisted during the 2003-2004 fiscal year by Project Independence, Human Options and Colette's Children's Home. CITY OF COSTA MESA 15 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan 6. OTHER ACTIONS Impediments To Fair Housing Choice Costa Mesa is required to undertake an analysis of impediments to fair housing prevalent in the community and to develop an action plan to address impediments. The City participated in the preparation of a regional Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing. This regional Al was a joint effort of the Fair Housing Council of Orange County (FHCOC), 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 planning 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 Al identified impediments to fair housing choice on a regional basis, and delineates strategies regional partners may undertake to overcome identified impediments. During the 2003-2004 Program Year the City will undertake various actions to address impediments to fair housing choice. 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. - CITY OF COSTA MESA 16 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan 3. Local jurisdictions do not have a formal fair housing education system in place for employees 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 actions to address the identified impediments. 1. Continue to support fair housing services at an effective and responsive level. It is anticipated that the FHCOC will provide fair housing services to 744 Costa Mea households during the 2003-2004 Fiscal Year. 2. FHCOC is currently in the process of completing work on the data analysis of regional HMDA data. This project has been funded by a HUD grant under the Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP). Once the project has concluded, findings of significance will be made known to Grantees by FHCOC and an action plan will be developed. The latter actions will take place during Fiscal Year 2003-2004. 3. FHCOC offers fair housing education that is available to City staff. The . education takes the form of an overview presentation, available for no charge, or CITY OF COSTA MESA 17 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan more comprehensive education available for a per capita fee. The City will consider establishing a policy for staff fair housing education offered by FHCOC. 4. Provide education and outreach services to the community. As part of FHCOC's ongoing contract activities a variety of outreach and education activities are provided to Costa Mesa. Activities include public service announcements for broadcast on both audio and video media, speakers' bureau, and participate in public events such as community fairs or resource workshops. FHCOC also offers fair housing education to housing and real estate professionals for a fee. During Fiscal Year 2003-2004, the City will support FHCOC fair housing education activities through existing community outreach mechanisms. 5. FHCOC lacks the resources to undertake an audit of local insurance carriers to determine if there is a problem with redlining. FHCOC has identified possible sources to fund this audit including federal, private foundations and funds obtained in settlement of insurance redlining litigation. The City will assist FHCOC identify additional grant funds for this purpose. 6. During Fiscal Year 2003-2004, FHCOC will assist the City to assess the impact of.local policies, if any, that may impact fair housing choice. FHCOC will refine and improve, redistribute and analyze Grantees' answers to the questionnaire inquiring into various local policies previously used in the preparation of the regional A.I. FHCOC will inform Grantees of any policies thus identified that appear to have an impact, either positive or negative, on fair housing choice within their jurisdiction. 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 senior housing units in Costa Mesa, and 445 assisted living units for the elderly and frail elderly. Both the City -and local CITY OF COSTA MESA ig 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan nonprofits will continue to provide supportive services, home meal delivery, health screening, and other quality -of -life services for Costa Mesa's seniors and frail elderly. The Orange County Housing Authority reports that 134 households residing in Costa Mesa that receive Section 8 rental assistance are "elderly" or "elderly and disabled/handicapped." 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 providing resources specifically to assist persons living 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 Orange County Health Care Agency's efforts to meet the housing and service needs of this special needs population. (Note, some nonprofit agencies receiving Costa Mesa 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 nonprofits such as Project Independence, 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 California Elwyn, Project Independence, and Vantage Foundation during FY 2003-2004 to support programs that provide housing resources and/or 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 direct City assistance. CITY OF COSTA MESA 19 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan Fostering and Maintaining Affordable Housing The City of Costa Mesa has identified several actions it will undertake during the 2003-2004 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 and improve housing currently occupied by low- and moderate -income homeowners. By providing deferred payment loans and grant funds lower income households are able to bring their residence up to basic housing quality standards and incur zero or minimal additional housing costs which may impact affordability. An estimated 27 housing units will be assisted with HOME funds during the 2003-2004 Program Year. The City's Neighbors For Neighbors program will also assist in the improvement of 12 housing units during the fiscal year. Homeownership opportunities will be availed to lower and moderate - income households through programs such as the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) and the Costa Mesa Redevelopment Agency sponsored Down Payment Assistance.4 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 ten first time homebuyers will be assisted by the Redevelopment Agency during FY 2003-2004. Costa Mesa will also participate in the regional MCC program, however, due to thb 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. The City will be an active participant in the regional MCC program, however the City will not attempt to estimate the number of participants for 2003-2004. Additionally, the City will continue to evaluate proposals for the development of newly constructed homeownership opportunities proposed by local for-profit and nonprofit 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, however due to 4 Households with incomes up to 120% of area median income may be assisted with these non-federal resources. CITY OF COSTA MESA 20 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3127(03 2003-2004 Action Plan limited resources it is estimated that zero rental housing units will be rehabilitated with Agency assistance during FY 2003-2004. This program provides resources to owners of rental properties that are predominately occupied by very low- and low-income households. In exchange for public financial resources, property owners are required to maintain rents at affordable levels for a minimum period of time and maintain property and occupancy standards. The term of affordability is dependent upon the amount of assistance provided by the Agency but may range from five to 55 years. In past years Costa Mesa has supported acquisition/rehabilitation activities, which has resulted in the creation or renovation of several affordable rental housing units. No specific project is planned at the outset of FY 2003-2004, however, the City will continue to explore the feasibility of affordable housing opportunities. Another means the City will use to foster and maintain its supply of affordable rental housing is by monitoring previously assisted rental housing units to ensure they still meet housing quality standards/codes 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 operates the Section 8 program within the city limits. OCHA reports as of December 31, 2002, a total of 516 Section 8 recipient households reside in Costa Mesa — an additional 940 are on OCHA's Section 8 Wait list.5 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 maintained and upgraded. 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 5 Waitlist figure is as of 12/31/01. OCHA has stopped accepting Section 8 Rental Assistance applications for the waitlist as of Jun 2001. CITY OF COSTA MESA 21 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan opportunities. During the 2003-2004 Program Year, the City will implement the following actions in an effort to overcome these barriers. Governmental barriers identified in the Consolidated Plan 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 its Redevelopment Agency may consider waiving or providing subsidies to offset the fiscal impact of fees thus enhancing the affordability of a housing 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 CITY OF COSTA MESA 22 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan fruitful as some parcels have been developed into affordable ownership 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 Hazards In September 1999, HUD published final regulations for lead based paint hazard reduction for federally assisted housing activities. These new regulations have had 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). The City has revised its housing rehabilitation program procedures to ensure all required lead paint hazard reduction controls are put in place. To address the potential financial impact of complying with new lead paint regulations, the City provides grants to cover the cost of lead paint abatement for qualified property owners. (Grants range from $5,000 to $10,000.) Based on actual experiences of the past program years, 50% of properties participating in rehabilitation programs will most likely test positive for lead paint. At a minimum, testing for lead will cost $720 per unit (exterior and interior testing), with project design to remove lead costing an average of $400 per unit. The actual cost of removing lead-based paint hazards varies from size and scope of the project and extent of lead contamination. The average cost to replace a lead -contaminated window is $450; comprehensive lead abatement for one unit has ranged from $5,000 to $10,000. The City will explore HUD's notice of funding availability to offset some of these costs and other possible sources to pay for testing and project design. K CITY OF COSTA MESA 23 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan Aside from the impacts of the added cost of compliance the City's housing rehabilitation programs productivity has been severely hampered by lead paint hazards regulations. Program staff estimates that rehabilitation of lead -impacted projects take one to three months longer to complete as all lead hazard elimination work must be completed before actual housing rehab can be initiated. There is a dire lack of qualified consultants in Orange County that are qualified to prepare lead surveys and project designs. Program staff reports that it is taking firms on contract to provide this service one to six months to prepare the survey/design. Once these documents have been prepared it has become a challenge to find contractors qualified and willing to undertake the work. The City will continue to explore options to minimize these time delays, including issuing a new request for proposals for lead based paint hazard testing and project design services. Anti -Poverty Strategy As stated previously, the 2000 Census reports over 8% of Costa Mesa families live below the poverty level (8.2% or 1,892 out of 23,106 families). Of the 9,182 Costa Mesa residents age 65 and older, 553 (or 6.2%) live below poverty; 12.4% of families with children under 18 years of age also live below poverty. The City has identified the following actions for the 2003-2004 Program Year to reduce the number of persons and families living below the poverty level. 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 rehabilitation of owner -occupied and renter -occupied housing, 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. CITY OF COSTA MESA 24 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan 4. Continue to support public services that serve the community's lower income youth, seniors and families. Public services will services for youth, seniors, and persons with disabilities. Institutional Structure During the 2003-2004 Program Year, the City will continue efforts to build a structure of partnerships with the public housing authority, nonprofits, other public institutions and the private industry. These partnerships will be utilized to carry out activities that address the housing and community needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. For example, the City will continue to utilize the nonprofit community to assist with carrying out public services and to assist with the creation of new affordable housing opportunities. Similarly, the City will continue to build it's relationship with the Orange County Housing Authority to implement its Public Housing Authority -Plan, and conversely, the Authority will assist the City meet the affordable housing needs of lower income renters. The private lending and real estate community will continue to be key partners in the City's first time homebuyer programs. By working closely with industry representatives efficient utilization of public resources will be realized. City/Agency staff will continue to hold annual meetings with these parties to review the Agency's first time homebuyer program. Structures to Enhance Coordination in the Community During the 2003-2004 Program Year, the City of Costa Mesa will implement the following actions to develop an institutional structures and enhance coordination between public/private housing and social service agencies: 1. Costa Mesa has developed a database of local private and nonprofit housing developers that can be used to enhance communication. Information may be used during the 2003-2004 Program Year to solicit proposals for affordable housing activities or to obtain important information regarding Costa Mesa's housing market. CITY OF COSTA MESA 25 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan 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 recent years, 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 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 Community Forum 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 ofJhe regional system of care for the homeless. The regional Continuum of Care Community Forum is comprised of the County, Orange County cities, nonprofit service providers and affordable housing developers. Participation in this forum allows the City to better coordinate the utilization of its limited resources at the local and regional basis. 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. This 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 that focuses on issues to implement HUD's lead paint ' reduction regulations and to identify resources/processes to comply with regulations. CITY OF COSTA MESA 26 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan s. Costa Mesa will continue efforts to coordinate area nonprofits in an effort to reduce duplication of services funded by the City and to ensure a full array of services are available to all City residents. The City 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 nonprofits thus helping to improve the efficient and effective utilization of limited CDBG funds. 7. The City of Costa Mesa has worked closely with nonprofit housing developers to create new affordable housing opportunities. For example, the City has undertaken several affordable housing projects with Habitat For Humanity (and its subsidiary Humanity Housing of Orange County) resulting in the creation ownership housing opportunities for very low-income households. Affordable rental housing has been developed in partnership with project developers such as Civic Center Barrio Housing Corporation. Past and current projects have resulted in the creation of housing units for large lower income renter households. The city will continue to explore additional affordable housing opportunities with other non- and for-profit developers. Public Housing HUD also requires that the City identify how it will foster public housing improvements and resident initiatives during the 2003-2004 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 500 Section 8 households reside in Costa Mesa. Economic Development There has been some reluctance on the part of community leaders to utilize limited public resources in an area typically left to the private sector, i.e. job creation. CITY OF COSTA MESA 27 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan While CDBG program regulations have been modified to encourage economic development programs efforts, there still remain cumbersome regulations that are not attractive to potential employers or entrepreneurs. Additionally, some economic development programs (i.e., micro enterprise loans) involve a high-risk uses of public funds. The City will continue to support public service agencies that focus on job development for the disabled and the homeless. The City also has developed a business partnership program that assists businesses interests in the City with information on fees, utilities, permit processing, etc. 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 specific program requirements. *9 A summary of planned activities to be funded with CDBG during the 2003-2004 Program Year is provided in Exhibit 3. A detailed listing of the City's proposed use of funds is provided in Attachment 1. The City will utilize some program income accrued during prior years during 2003-2004. Additionally, some prior year unexpended CDBG funds will be reprogrammed for use in 2003-2004. The City does not have urban renewal settlements, grant funds returned to the line of credit, or income from float funded activities to use during the 2003-2004 Program Year. No urgent need activities are anticipated in 2003-2004. HOME The City of Costa Mesa HOME program for the 2003-2004 Program Year is designed to preserve existing affordable housing, expand the supply of decent and affordable housing, and strengthen public-private partnerships. HOME -funded activities CITY OF COSTA MESA 28 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan are summarized in Exhibit 3. 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 2003-2004. If HOME funds are appropriated for this activity after the beginning of the fiscal 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. 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. Monitoring involves an in-house review of progress reports and expenditures, and anon -site visit of subgrantees to ensure further compliance with federal regulations. The City's monitoring system encourages uniform reporting to achieve consistent information on beneficiaries. Technical assistance is provided as necessary. At a minimum, public service grant recipients receiving consecutive years of CDBG funding will undergo on-site monitoring every other year. If resources permit, they will be monitored annually. Any new grant recipient or a recipient that has displayed administrative/program issues will be monitored annually. A monitoring handbook and checklist have been developed by the City to assist with program evaluation and on-site monitoring. 'Rental housing units that are subject to long-term affordability are also monitored. The HOME program has established time intervals to conduct on-site CITY OF COSTA MESA 29 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan property inspections. These intervals are based on the number of rental 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 2003-2004 Program Year. CITY OF COSTA MESA 30 2003-2004 ACTION PLAN Draft 3/27/03 2003-2004 Action Plan 9.
