IV. ACTION ITEMS:
A. Albert Ramirez requested that the Housing and Community Development Commission,
by Motion, recommend the approval of the First Amendment to Community
Development Block Grant Subrecipient Agreement (First Amendment), to the Governing
Body of the Anaheim Housing Authority substantially in the form attached, to extend the
term of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Subrecipient Agreement between
the City of Anaheim and Habitat for Humanity of Orange County (Habitat) to June 30,
2019, providing Habitat up to $500,000 as the Program Administrator for the City’s
Residential Rehabilitation Program, and authorize the Community and Economic
Director, to execute and administer the Amendment on behalf of the City.
Mr. Ramirez explained that in 2016, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) provided guidance to the City regarding the continued use of CDBG
funding for Code Enforcement activities stating that cities who use CDBG funds for code
enforcement activities should also provide incentive programs that assist eligible
households to prevent or correct such issues. He also informed staff that following a
review of the HUD guidance and related program regulations, staff researched potential
program models and recommended contracting with Habitat for Humanity of Orange
County for the administration of a Residential Rehabilitation Program. The decision to
recommend Habitat for this purpose was based on evidence that they have successfully
administrated rehabilitation programs for several years and that they possess the staffing
and expertise required to fulfill the goals of the Anaheim program. Mr. Ramirez further
noted that at the April 26, 2016 City Council meeting, Council approved Habitat for
Humanity of Orange County as the program administrator and committed $500,000 of
CDBG funds to the program, but implementation was delayed because programmatic
policies & procedures and eligibility documents needed to be further refined. He further
noted that since then Staff has worked closely with Habitat and has finalized all program
documents and that the program is currently operating, but has an ending term of June
30, 2017. Mr. Ramirez informed the Commission that the proposed First Amendment
HCD Draft Minutes May 31, 2017 Page 3
would only extend the contract term to June 30, 2019 and ensure uninterrupted
implementation of the program.
Commissioner Kurtz motioned to approve the recommendation of the First Amendment
Community Development Block Grant Subrecipient Agreement to the City Council to
extend the term of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Subrecipient
Agreement between the City of Anaheim and Habitat for Humanity for Orange County.
After a brief discussion period Commissioner Adair seconded the motion. (Motion carried
9-0)
B. Andy Nogal requested that the HCDC recommend the approval of the Cooperation
Agreement by and between the City and the Anaheim Housing Authority (AHA) for
funding to acquire a property at 605 E. Avon Place located in the Avon Dakota
Neighborhood. Mr. Nogal explained that the 11.2 acres that make up the Avon/Dakota
Neighborhood that consists of 41 multi-family residential properties with approximately
200 units, has been identified as one of the City’s 12 challenged neighborhoods. He
informed the Commission that since 2010, the AHA staff has been working with The
Related Companies of California to improve the overall conditions of this neighborhood
and provide long-term affordable housing, and has acquired and rehabilitated multiple
properties and continues to seek acquisitions to implement the Avon Dakota
Neighborhood Revitalization Plan. In order to acquire the property at 605 E. Avon Place,
Staff is requesting approval of the Cooperation Agreement to provide funding for the
purchase through a combination of HOME and Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset
Funds in the amount not to exceed $750,000.
Commissioner Kurtz motioned to approve the recommendation of the Cooperation
Agreement by and between the City and the AHA to the Governing Body of the Anaheim
Housing Authority. After a brief discussion period, Commissioner Adair seconded the
motion. (Motion carried 9-0)
C. Andy Nogal requested that the HCDC approve the recommendation of the Affordable
Housing Agreement by and between the Anaheim Housing Authority (AHA) and the Avon
Dakota Housing Partners II, L.P. for the Phase II Neighborhood Revitalization Project in
the Avon/Dakota Neighborhood to the Governing body of the Anaheim Housing
Authority.
Mr. Nogal explained On June 22, 2010, the AHA entered into a Neighborhood
Revitalization Agreement for the Avon/Dakota Neighborhood with The Related
Companies of California to implement a phased neighborhood improvement project. He
further explained that in accordance with the Neighborhood Revitalization Plan, Staff has
been working with Avon Dakota Housing partner L.P. to improve the overall conditions of
HCD Draft Minutes May 31, 2017 Page 4
the neighborhood and provide long-term affordable housing. It was noted that in 2012
the developer completed a 92-unit 100% affordable rental family project with the
neighborhood, and in 2013 the AHA and Developer completed the initial phase of the
Revitalization Plan. Mr. Nogal presented staff’s proposal to acquire a property located at
862 S. Dakota Street and ground lease property to the developer with other properties
currently owned by the AHA, to form Phase II of the project. He stated that the Authority
will acquire the property at 862 South Dakota at a cost of $950,000 using Low and
Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds and that if the developer is able to obtain the
necessary permissions and tax credits, construction would commence in February of
2018.
After a brief question answer session, Commissioner Kurtz motioned to approve the
recommendation of the Affordable Housing Agreement by and between the Anaheim
Housing Authority (AHA) and the Avon Dakota Housing Partners II, L.P. for the Phase II
Neighborhood Revitalization Project in the Avon/Dakota Neighborhood to the Governing
body of the Anaheim Housing Authority. Commissioner Emami seconded the motion.
(Motion carried 9-0).
D. Andy Nogal requested that the HCDC approve the recommendation of the Amended and Restated Preliminary Funding Award Letter for the Sandman Hotel to the Governing body of the Anaheim Housing Authority. Mr. Nogal explained that on May 2, 2016, the Community & Economic Development Department issued a Request for Proposals in order to utilize HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds for the development of an affordable housing project and that Innovative Housing Opportunities (IHO) was the only respondent. He also explained that as part of the RFP, the Developer identified an opportunity site known as the Sandman Motel, located at 1248 East Lincoln Avenue, for the construction of a senior housing project. He also explained that the 1.01-acre motel site is proposed to be demolished to make way for the development of an affordable senior rental housing project consisting of 54 units, including 1 manager unit. He noted the project will be 100% affordable to extremely-low, very-low and low- income seniors and that the development of 54 units is contingent upon the acquisition of an adjacent .09-acre remnant parcel located immediately to the south and combined with the 1.01-acre motel site. He added that if all permissions and tax credits are received as anticipated, construction would commence February of 2018. After a brief question answer period, Commissioner Houchen motioned to approve the recommendation of the Amended and Restated Preliminary Funding Award Letter for the Sandman Hotel to the Governing body of the Anaheim Housing Authority. Commissioner Kurtz seconded the motion. (Motion carried 9-0)

HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT
DATE: JULY 19, 2017
FROM: COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: FY 2017-2018 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN; CITIZEN
PARTICIPATION PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Housing & Community Development Commission, by Motion, recommend
approval of the FY 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Solutions
Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) programs
outlining expenditures totaling $15,710,270; and the amended Citizen Participation Plan
to City Council.
DISCUSSION:
FY 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan
The City of Anaheim prepares a Consolidated Plan every 5 years, which identifies
housing & community development needs and outlines strategies to address the
identified needs. Thereafter, staff prepares an Annual Action Plan (AAP) that identifies
proposed activities for the upcoming year and serves as the City’s application to obtain
CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA Program funds from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development. The current Annual Action Plan is for FY 2017-2018.
All activities in the Annual plan are consistent with the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan
approved by the City Council in April 2015.
The programs covered under the Consolidated and Annual Action Plans are intended to
serve low-income residents in the City. These programs allow for activities such as the
development of affordable housing, provision of tenant-based rental subsidies for
persons experiencing homelessness, delivery of community- based social services and
can be utilized as match funds with other infrastructure investments. Attachment 1
provides the details, by program, on the proposed activities for this upcoming year.
Attachment 2 provides additional details on specific set-aside requirements for each
program.
FY 2017-2018 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN; CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN July 19, 2017
PAGE 2 OF 2
Citizen Participation Plan (CPP)
As a condition of funding, HUD requires all entitlement jurisdictions to have a CPP that
outlines how resident input regarding community needs and funding priorities will be
obtained.
The CPP outlines the steps the City will take to encourage and ensure the participation of
all citizens in the development of the Consolidated Plan Document, the Annual Action
Plan, and the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report documents. Due to
recent changes in the governance structure for the City, the CPP previously adopted
needed significant revision. For example, the previous CPP was based on four planning
areas in the City: West, East, Central and South. Because of District elections in
December 2016, planning areas are now defined differently by the City and the
corresponding community engagement process handled by the City’s Community
Services Department has also been revamped. The revised Citizen Participation Plan
(attached) outlines the changes in how citizen input will be obtained for the federal
entitlement program going forward. The changes proposed in the CPP reflects the
revised governance structure as well as changes to Boards and Commissions approved
by the Anaheim City Council on March 7, 2017.
It is noted that for FY 2017-18, it has been necessary to use a modified version of the
CPP to obtain citizen input based on activities at the federal level. In order to obtain
meaningful resident input on budget priorities for these programs, ideally, the annual
grant allocation should be released. However, the grant allocation for FY 2017-2018
were not released until late June 2017, thereby significantly reducing the amount of time
needed by staff to develop spending recommendations and release such documents to the
public. In recognition of the late release of necessary information, HUD has reduced the
public comment period to 2 weeks for FY 2017-2018. In previous years, staff has
attempted to obtain public comments for a much longer period; upwards for at least 90
days, and made public presentations on proposed projects at community meetings.
However, given the circumstances surrounding the federal budgeting process this year
that has not been possible. Staff has still attempted to collect public input by sending
email notification to persons attending community meetings and publishing the
availability of the Action Plan in the local newspaper. Additionally, your body, HCDC
and the Anaheim City Council will hear this item and provide the opportunity to public
comment at both meetings.

member appointed one Anaheim resident and one stakeholder. The Committee provided representative assistance in the review
and preparation of the Housing Element update to help ensure the document is an accurate reflection of the City’s collective vision
for the future of housing development within Anaheim.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal‐setting
The City considers the involvement of its low‐ and moderate‐income residents to be essential to the development and
implementation of its Five‐Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans.
The City of Anaheim has an approved Citizen Participation Plan, as required by HUD. The City has abided by its Citizen Participation
Plan in the preparation and development of the FY 2015‐2019 Consolidated Plan and the FY 2017‐2018 Annual Action Plan.
On May 17, 2017 HUD issued revised procedures for the submission and review of action plans for FY 2017 funding for CPD grantees.
The timing of the enactment for the FY 2017 appropriations act may leave insufficient time for grantees to complete their pre‐
submission or pre‐amendment citizen participation process before the statutory August 16, 2017 submission deadline. To address
this potential issue, HUD has issued a waiver of the regulatory 30‐day citizen participation public comment period in favor of a 14‐
day comment period. Due to the timing of the enactment of the FY 2017 appropriations act and the publication of the City’s
Entitlement amount, the City must utilize the waiver to meet the statutory submittal deadline of August 16, 2017.
The 2017 Annual Action Plan was published for a fourteen‐day public comment period, per HUD's waiver, from July 6, 2017 through
July 21, 2017, during which residents could review and submit comments and recommendations on the draft Annual Action Plan.
The Housing and Community Development Commission held a Public Hearing on July 19, 2017 to receive comments on the draft
plan. On July 25, 2017, the Final third‐year Annual Action Plan was placed on the City Council meeting agenda, and the document
was approved for execution and submission to HUD. The public was permitted to comment at all of these open meetings.
The City ensures that all Public Hearings are held at times and locations convenient to potential and actual beneficiaries and with
accommodations for persons with disabilities. Upon request, in advance of the meeting, the City will attempt to make
accommodations for those individuals in need of special assistance. The City also provides technical assistance workshops for all
interested in the programs.

Introduction
Anaheim, like many jurisdictions, is faced with the challenging task of meeting increasing needs with fluctuating and/or decreasing
federal, state and local resources. If there are further funding cuts to CDBG, HOME, ESG or HOPWA over the coming years, the City
will adjust accordingly and craft Annual Action Plans reflective of funding realities.
This Plan anticipates a one time influx of Program Income form the NSP Program. On June 14, 2016 HUD issued the Notice of the
Neighborhood Stabilization Program: Changes to Closeout Requirements related to Program Income (Program Income Notice) (FR
5933‐N‐01). The Program Income Notice described changes to the closeout requirements applied to the Neighborhood Stabilization
Program who are also grantees under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and allows the transfer of program
income from NSP to the CDBG program. The City of Anaheim intends to transfer all NSP program income to the CDBG program
during this Annual Action Plan period.
The figures shown in the table below reflect HUD's current allocations. The figure for “Expected Amount Available Remainder of
ConPlan” anticipates level funding using the 2017 allocation amounts and projecting those amounts over the three remaining years
covered by the Consolidated Plan.

AP‐50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low‐income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
HUD‐funded activities are limited to the City’s Low‐and Moderate‐Income areas, which
encompass the majority of the City’s residential areas. Areas of the City outside of the CDBG
target areas will benefit from activities that are limited‐clientele in nature (i.e., elderly persons,
homeless persons, and severely disabled adults). Eligibility is typically established by household
income and household size. The following map shows the City’s low/mod Census Tracts and the
level of poverty in each.
Program funds will be expended based on program criteria. For example, public services are
available on a citywide basis for qualified beneficiaries; fair housing and program administration
activities will also be carried out on a citywide basis. Housing code enforcement and community
development projects (i.e., street and park improvement projects) will be carried out in the
City’s Low‐ and Moderate‐Income Areas (i.e., areas of the City where the majority of residents
meet HUD’s Low‐ and Moderate‐Income definition).
HOME funds will be utilized to support housing acquisition, rehabilitation and new
construction activities for low‐income households. To qualify for these funds an evaluation of
household income will be undertaken.
ESG funding will be used to support programs that help prevent homelessness or that assist
those already homeless with emergency/transitional housing and related support services. To
ensure only eligible households are assisted, each program participant is required to document
their eligibility.
HOPWA funding will be used to support programs specifically for persons with HIV/AIDS
throughout the County of Orange. To qualify for these funds an evaluation of household income
will be undertaken.
HUD also requires the City to indicate if resources will be utilized to benefit areas with
racial/ethnic minority concentrations. Based on Census Bureau ethnicity/race estimates,
Anaheim is approximately 52.6% Hispanic/Latino; this population resides throughout the City
but with concentrations highest in the central city. The second largest minority population in
Anaheim is Asian, which comprise approximately 15.1% of the City’s population. Asian
households are mainly concentrated in the City’s west‐side and east‐side areas.

Affordable Housing
AP‐55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
The most important impediment to affordable housing revolves around the lack of
Federal, State and local resources for affordable housing initiatives. The lack of programs and
resources to reduce excessive rent or mortgage burdens to qualified persons is a key factor.
Another barrier to affordable housing in Anaheim is the high cost of housing created by a
demand for housing, both existing and new, which exceeds the current supply. Despite the
recent downturn in the housing market nationally, housing prices, both purchase and rental,
remain high, especially for lower income households.
In addition, both the cost of site acquisition and development costs are very high. These facts
make housing construction expensive and put affordable housing out of the reach of low‐
income households.
The Housing Needs Assessment also identified stringent criteria in the mortgage origination
process due to the 2009 foreclosure crisis, which also is outside the scope and control of City
policy. In some instances, issues revolving around personal finances (lack of down payment,
credit history, employment history) affect the availability of affordable housing for Anaheim
residents.

The City of Anaheim approved a Preliminary Funding Award Letter for Innovative Housing
Opportunities, Inc. (Developer) for the development of a 54‐unit affordable rental senior
housing project for extremely‐low, very‐low and Low‐ income seniors. Subject to final financing
commitments, the Developer will obtain a long term ground lease for a City‐owned site, a
HOME funds Loan and 53 Section 8 Project‐Based Vouchers to help finance construction of the
project.
The Homeless Assistance Pilot Program (HAPP) is a program designed to help stabilize and
house our homeless families with children in Anaheim schools. The program partners are the
Illumination Foundation, Anaheim Union High School District and the City of Anaheim. The
program focuses on providing self‐sufficiency case management services and tenant based
rental assistance to families that have children attending Anaheim schools. It’s anticipated that
the program will serve 30 households in the FY 17/18 fiscal year.
The Chronically Homeless Individuals Pilot Program (CHIPP) is a program designed to house
individuals that do not meet the chronically homeless definition or have a low scoring VI‐
SPDAT. The program partners are the Illumination Foundation, MERCY and the City of Anaheim.
The program focuses on providing self‐sufficiency case management services and tenant based
rental assistance. It’s anticipated that the program will serve 15‐30 households in the FY 17/18
fiscal year.

AP‐65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
Homelessness affects many people from all social, economic, and racial backgrounds. The
causes of homelessness are varied and include loss of employment, mental illness, substance
abuse, a health crisis, domestic violence, foreclosure, limited income (such as SSI, for elderly
and people with disabilities which prevent them from aging in place due to high cost of living)
and loss of familial support. Individuals or families that are homeless have a variety of special
needs, including emergency shelter, counseling, job training, transitional housing, and
permanent supportive housing. The long‐term housing needs are for transitional housing and
permanent supportive housing.
Describe the jurisdictions one‐year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing
their individual needs
The needs of homeless persons are complex and require a wide range of specialized services.
Numerous agencies are often involved in the care of a homeless person, providing distinct
services such as housing, mental health counseling, employment training, and case work
services. A number of activities and services are funded to help the needs of the homeless and
other special needs populations.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Homeless persons and families have both housing and service needs. The immediate long‐term
housing needs are for transitional housing and permanent supportive housing. Homelessness
results from a combination of factors related to the persons and families who are homeless and
the socioeconomic systems that support them. Personal factors include generational poverty,
weak or absent family and social networks, inadequate education or job skills, family break‐up
resulting from violence or divorce, catastrophic illness, prison re‐alignment, mental illness, and
substance abuse/addiction. Socioeconomic factors include an inadequate supply of affordable
housing, reduction in health and human services, the high cost of child care and transportation,
and the lack of jobs that pay living wages.
The affordable housing strategies will help to address these needs, while the City’s ESG
programs will provide a number of services and assistance to those who find themselves
without shelter.
In February 2012, the City Council approved a code amendment to permit emergency shelters
in the City’s Industrial (I) Zone subject to specified standards. A code amendment was also
Annual Action Plan 2017
43
OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
approved by the City Council in September 2013 relating to the siting of supportive and
transitional housing uses in residential zones in compliance with Senate Bill SB (2) State law. On
May 5, 2015, the Anaheim City Council voted to approve funding for a cooperative agreement
with the County of Orange and the City of Fullerton to facilitate the study and fund the
purchase of property in connection with the potential establishment of a year‐round homeless
emergency shelter On November 17, 2015, the County of Orange Board of Supervisors
subsequently approved funding for the acquisition and conversion of an existing industrial
warehouse building located in the City of Anaheim for the creation of a 200 bed Homeless
Shelter with a multi‐service center aimed at helping people transition into permanent housing
and employment.
The City entered into an Affordable Housing Agreement (Lincoln Avenue Apartments) with a
Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) for the development of a 70‐unit
affordable rental housing project for very low and extremely low‐income households. The
Developer obtained approval for a combination of HOME CHDO funds and Section 8 PBV
assistance to create housing for families assisted by the Homeless Assistance Pilot Program, a
partnership between the City, Anaheim Union High School District and the Illumination
Foundation. The project will provide 48 units for Homeless persons, 15 units for Homeless
persons with mental ill ness and 7 general affordable units.
The City initiated the Homelessness Assistance Pilot Program referenced above, which focuses
on homeless families with children in Anaheim schools. The program provides supportive
services and rental assistance for up to 24 months. To date 75 households with 158 children
have been assisted.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City supports a number of programs to assist low‐income individuals and families to avoid
homelessness, including providing Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers to homeless people,
providing funds to keep people in their homes in times of financial crisis, and implementing a
rapid re‐housing program. Other support services, such as job and training assistance, food
assistance, and counseling are also available to help persons and families recover from
homelessness and to avoid returning to homelessness.
Annual Action Plan 2017
44
OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Helping low‐income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low‐income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
Every jurisdiction receiving McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act funds must develop and
implement a Discharge Coordination Policy, to the maximum extent practicable. The County of
Orange is equipped to serve people discharged from publicly funded institutions or systems of
care (such as health care facilities, foster care or other youth facilities, or correction programs
and institutions) in order to prevent such discharge from immediately resulting in homelessness
for such people. The City will refer people facing such conditions to the County of Orange for
additional resources.
The City has certified to HUD that it will undertake efforts to develop and implement a
homeless discharge plan. HUD has stated that as part of the City developing and implementing
a homeless discharge coordination policy it may use ESG homeless prevention funds to assist
Very Low‐Income individuals and families at risk of becoming homeless after being released
from publicly funded institutions such as health care facilities, foster care or other youth
facilities, or corrections institutions or programs.
On a regional basis, the County’s Community Services – Housing and Community Development
Department has taken the lead in developing and implementing a discharge plan for the entire
county and has solicited the assistance of cities such as Anaheim. As this plan evolves, the City
will explore various options in programming that ensures the needs of Anaheim’s residents are
met while also addressing regional planning efforts. At the present time ESG homelessness
prevention funds are not being utilized in support of a discharge plan.

AP‐75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
The most important impediment to affordable housing revolves around the lack of income of
the City residents. Exacerbating this factor is the lack of Federal and State resources for
affordable housing initiatives. The lack of programs and resources to reduce excessive rent or
mortgage burdens to qualified persons is a key factor. The City will do all that it can with the
limited resources available to maintain and produce affordable housing, both owner and renter
units. Home rehabilitation programs are in place and have been effective in keeping
homeowners in habitable housing.
The most effective means to remove barriers to affordable housing is to have better paying jobs
for City residents. The City and its economic development programs are working to retain,
expand and attract businesses and to provide the qualified workforce necessary for those new
jobs.
Moreover, through the HOME funded first‐time homebuyer program, financial support of two
community housing development organizations, and three housing rehabilitation programs, the
city is incrementally addressing the lack of affordable housing for a variety of households. CDBG
funds will be used to continue the City’s owner‐occupied housing rehabilitation programs and
financial support of the Building Department’s successful code enforcement program.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The City has taken the following actions to increase the supply of land available for the future
development of affordable housing and reduce barriers to affordable housing: a. Certified a
Final Environmental Impact Report for a General Plan Amendment; b. Approved a General Plan
Amendment to expand housing opportunities; c. Approved the conversion of 743 acres of
underutilized and/or underperforming commercial land primarily along major arterials to
residential land use; d. Approved a Zoning Code Amendment to provide more flexible
development standards for multiple family development; and e. Adopted a new Multiple Family
Affordable Housing Developments ordinance to encourage the development of affordable
housing for very low income families and was later merged with the City’s Density Bonus
Ordinance to allow for the creation of deeper incentives such as less stringent landscaping,
setbacks, building separation and building heights for developers who construct new affordable

47

rental housing projects; d. The Community Development Department continues to work with
the Planning Department to refine the Ordinance to seek greater incentives for the
development of affordable housing.
In February 2012, the City Council approved a code amendment to permit emergency shelters
in the City’s Industrial (I) Zone subject to specified standards. A code amendment was also

AP‐85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction
Despite efforts made by the City and social service providers, a number of significant obstacles
to meeting underserved needs remain. With funding resources being scarce, funding becomes
the greatest obstacle for the City of Anaheim to meet its underserved needs. With insufficient
funding it leads to issues with maintaining funding levels and also limits the availability of
funding to the many worthy public service programs, activities and agencies.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City is comfortable with the level of communication and contact among various social
service, housing and economic development service providers. Information and referral
services are provided to residents upon request. The City always works to assist residents in
obtaining the information they require to meet their housing and supportive service needs.
There are no identified gaps in the City's housing and community development programs and
services. However, because the level of demand for these programs exceeds the amount of
funding available to meet the demand, waiting lists have been established for many housing
and community development programs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City will continue to support and fund the Housing Rehabilitation, Emergency
Rehabilitation, First Time Home Buyers and Home CHDO projects in effort to foster and
maintain affordable housing.
Recognizing the ongoing need for affordable housing, the City has undertaken, or is in the
process of undertaking, various activities designed to improve the overall affordability of
housing opportunities throughout Anaheim. Since 2005, 2,431 new rental, for‐sale and
rehabilitation units have been completed with another 212 in the development pipeline for a
total of 2,643 affordable units.
Actions planned to reduce lead‐based paint hazards
The City communicates with the Orange County Health Care Agency Lead Poisoning Prevention
Program to identify reported cases of elevated blood levels in Anaheim. In FY 2015‐2016, there
were no reported cases of childhood lead poisoning in Anaheim.
The City and Housing Authority have implemented lead‐based paint testing and removal
Annual Action Plan 2017
49
OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
activities as required under HUD’s Lead‐Based Paint regulations. The City has several
environmental consultants on‐call to assist with lead‐based paint testing and evaluation
services as needed.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty‐level families
The City will continue to provide activities to prevent individuals and families from becoming
homeless and to reduce the amount of homeless individuals and families. Activities include
making funds available to nonprofit organizations; providing assistance to individuals and
families at risk of homelessness and facing a one‐time extenuating circumstance of financial
hardship; providing interim rental assistance and other housing‐related costs to families at risk
of homelessness through the HPRP/RAFT Program; providing Section 8 Housing Choice
Vouchers to homeless individuals and families; and providing additional activities and
programs.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
There are no identified gaps in institutional structural. The City's Community & Economic
Development Department houses several divisions that develop and implement affordable
housing programs and support services. The following agencies operate under the auspices of
the Department: the Anaheim Housing Authority, Housing Development, and Economic
Development, including Development Services and Property Services; and Workforce
Development, including Workforce Center, Workforce Administration, and Anaheim Workforce
Investment Board.
All of these divisions are managed by the Executive Director of Community & Economic
Development. Thus, the Executive Director is readily able to coordinate and integrate all
affordable housing and supportive service programs that operate through the Department. The
Department works closely with the Community Services Department Neighborhood Services
Division to conduct an active citizen participation process with neighborhood organizations. The
Department also participates in the Neighborhood Improvement Program in collaboration with
other City Departments including Police, Community Services, City Attorney, Planning, Public
Works, and Public Utilities, to address factors that contribute in the deterioration of
neighborhoods.
Public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and other service agencies all play an integral role in
the provision of affordable housing and support services. The City will continue to work with
these agencies to meet the proposed housing and community development goals. The City has
also developed working relationships with identified HOME Community Housing Development
Annual Action Plan 2017
50
OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Organizations (CHDOs). CHDOs are organizations that will sponsor, develop and/or own
affordable housing projects that benefit residents at or below 80 percent of the area's median
family income. HUD requires a minimum of 15 percent of each year’s HOME grant amount to
be set aside for CHDO activities.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City recognizes that the preparation of the Annual Action Plan requires discussion and
consultation with many diverse groups, organizations, and agencies. The City held twelve
neighborhood meetings and three public hearings in the course of preparing the AAP, and the
Plan was reviewed at a meeting of the Housing & Community Development Commission prior
prior to its submittal to City Council for its approval. These meetings are summarized in the
Citizen Participation Section.
The City also reviewed community and regional plans, held discussions with the other
participating jurisdictions in the County, reviewed the Housing Authority Plans, as well as
assessing the findings of a web‐based survey to determine needs and priorities.
Input from these private and governmental health, mental health and services agencies was
instrumental in preparing the Plan.

2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
In the case of down payment assistance loans funded with Home funds, the full HOME
investment is recaptured out of net sale proceeds, as defined under 24 CFR 92.254
paragraph (a)(5)(ii)(A)(1). HOME loans are due 30 years from the date the property was
purchased, or upon the sale or transfer of the property, whichever occurs first. Interest is
charged on the loan at a yearly rate of three percent. In the event of a foreclosure or deed
in lieu of foreclosure of the First Deed of Trust, any provisions stipulated in the City’s Deed
of Trust, or any provisions in any other collateral agreement restricting the use of the
property to low income households or otherwise restricting the Borrower’s ability to sell the
property shall have no further force or effect on subsequent owners or purchasers of the
property. The restrictions, if any, on transferability of the property will automatically
terminate if title to the property is transferred by foreclosure or deed‐in‐lieu of foreclosure,
or if the mortgage is transferred to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. Any person, including successors or assigns (other than the borrower or a
related entity of the borrower), receiving title to the property through a foreclosure or deed
in lieu of foreclosure of the First Deed of Trust shall receive title to the property free and
clear from such restrictions. Further, if the senior lien holder acquires title to the property
pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the City’s Deed of Trust shall automatically
terminate upon the senior lien holder’s acquisition of title, provided that (a) the lender has
been given written notice of a default under the First Deed of Trust and (b) the lender shall
not have cured the default under the First Deed of Trust, or diligently pursued curing the
default as determined by the senior lien holder within the 60‐day period provided in such
notice sent to the lender.

Under resale, §92.254(a)(5(i) of the HOME rule states that the period of affordability is
based on the total amount of HOME funds invested in the housing. Any HOME program
income used to assist the project is included when determining the period of affordability
under a resale provision.
b. Period of Affordability Under Recapture Provisions
For HOME‐assisted homebuyer units under the recapture option, the period of affordability
is based upon the direct HOME subsidy provided to the homebuyer that enabled the
homebuyer to purchase the unit. Any HOME program income used to provide direct
assistance to the homebuyer is included when determining the period of affordability. The
following table outlines the required minimum affordability periods.
Less than $15,000 = 5 Years Affordability
Between $15,000 and $39,999.99 = 10 Years Affordability
More than $40,000 = 15 Years Affordability
4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:
Not Applicable
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Reference 91.220(l)(4)
1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment)
See attached ESG Policy and Procedure Manual.
2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system.
The County of Orange in collaboration with the CoC, the OC Commission to End
Homelessness, and other ESG entitlement jurisdictions including the City, will utilize
assessment and evaluation instruments developed in consultation with the HMIS lead

agency and previously funded HPRP grantees. The County will ensure the ongoing
coordination of program design and eligibility standards. ESG subrecipient staff will conduct
initial intake interviews with clients to verify program eligibility and assess levels of need. In
order to be eligible for ESG assistance, clients must be homeless as defined by HUD and may
earn no more than 30% of Area Median Income. Subgrantees will complete income
verification forms to be submitted for 3rd party verification.
3. Identify the process for making sub‐awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith‐based organizations).
The City may make its ESG funds available to non‐profit organizations through the issuance
of a notice of funding availability. Any 501(c)(3) organization in good standing may submit a
request for funding for eligible ESG activities. These applications will be reviewed and
evaluated by the City’s Housing Community Development Commission that will develop
funding recommendations. The recommendations will be forward to the Anaheim City
Council for consideration.
4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.
The City is consulting with the CoC on an ongoing basis to develop policies and funding
recommendations regarding the use of ESG funds. Based on the CoC’s strategy that reflects
the participation of all 34 cities in Orange County, County Agencies, the County’s homeless
housing and service providers, and other community groups, including non‐profits, local
governmental agencies, faith‐based organizations, the homeless and formerly homeless,
interested business leaders, schools and other stakeholders to identify the gaps and unmet
needs of the County’s homeless, the City will determine the best method to meet this
homeless participant requirement as part of its funding recommendation process.
5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.
The City will continue to use the outcome standards indicated in the previous five‐year
Consolidated Plan as preliminary performance standards. The City will continue to review
these standards in consultation with the CoC to determine their relevance and usefulness in
measuring the performance of the ESG program.

Citizen Participation Plan
In accordance with HUD regulations found in 24 CFR Part 91, this Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) is designed to provide opportunities for Anaheim residents to give input on community needs and priority uses of the following federal entitlement programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) including Section 108 Loan submittals, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). The CPP outlines the steps the City will take to encourage and ensure the participation of all citizens in the development of the Consolidated Plan Document (CPD), the Annual Action Plan, and the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) documents. While this CPP aims to ensure the participation of all Anaheim residents, special efforts will be made to engage very low and low income persons, particularly those living in blighted areas; persons living in areas where federal funds are proposed to be used; minority residents; residents of assisted housing; low income residents of target revitalization areas; non‐English speaking persons; and persons with physical disabilities. Additionally, this plan engages the Continuum of Care, other homeless related nonprofit organizations, and public housing agencies in the development of the Consolidated Plan and its associated Annual Action Plans.
A. Program Applicability
Each year the City of Anaheim receives from HUD the following entitlement grants on behalf of its residents:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program;
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program;
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program;
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program; and
Any new or successor program(s), if any, developed by HUD to consolidate, expand orotherwise alter the above named programs and which HUD determines shall begoverned by the Citizen Participation Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91, as amended.
B. The Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans Development Process
The City of Anaheim program year for each Annual Action Plan of the Consolidate Plan begins on July 1st and ends on the following June 30th every year. In order to receive HUD entitlement grants, the City's Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans are submitted to HUD by May 15th, 45 days before the beginning of a new program year. The current Consolidated Plan was adopted by the City Council in May 2015. This amended plan reflects the change from at‐large elections to District area elections and the restructuring of the City’s Boards and Commissions as approved by the Anaheim City Council on March 7, 2017. The process for developing the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan starts in February of each year. An Annual Action Plan budget and program description for HUD‐funded activities is adopted for each program year.
C. Public Hearings
The City of Anaheim has two advisory bodies that are involved in the preparation of the Consolidated Plan, the Annual Action Plans and the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report. The first advisory body is called the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) and it consists of
1
Attachment 4
nine (9) community residents appointed by the City Council. HCDC meets the first and third Wednesday of every month and conducts business according to its Bylaws. Every program year, HCDC holds two HUD required public hearings to obtain residents' views and to respond to proposals and questions about the HUD funded programs.
The two public hearings conducted by HCDC are:
The first public hearing is held at least 30 days prior to the City Council approval. The purpose ofthis public hearing is to receive public input on the activities proposed in the upcoming AnnualAction Plan. These activities range from capital improvement projects to programadministration.
The second public hearing is held at least 15 days prior to submitting to HUD the ConsolidatedAnnual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER). The intend of this public hearing is to collectpublic comments on activities and accomplishments of the previous program year. Thecomments received are included with the preparation of the CAPER.
The second advisory body is the Community Services Board (CSB) and it consists of seven (7) community residents appointed by the City Council. CSB meets the second Thursday of every month and conducts business according to its Bylaws. CSB holds two public hearings to receive input on public service activities, and formulates funding recommendations for these activities under the CDBG program. The funding recommendations developed by the CSB are forwarded to HCDC for inclusion in the Annual Action Plan budget.
Together, these public hearings provide opportunities to engage the members of the public to identify housing and community development needs. The public hearings will result in the development of proposed activities and strategies, the implementation of programs to affirmatively further fair housing, and the performance review of the previous program year activities. All public meetings and public hearings on the Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, CAPER, Citizen Participation Plan shall be conducted according to the California Ralph M. Brown Act.
Any other public hearings shall be conducted according to Section D (General Citizen Participation Requirements) of this CPP.
D. General Citizen Participation Requirements
1. General Policies
This Plan sets out the basic mandates for compliance under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and under 24 CFR Part 91. The parameters will continue to be a determination by the Mayor and City Council of the appropriate uses of all HUD entitlement grants, based upon the City's needs. The City will also follow the CPP in order to comply with citizen participation statutory and regulatory requirements.
2. Public Access to Information and Records

HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT
DATE: JULY 19, 2017
FROM: COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: CREATION AND OPERATION OF THE ANAHEIM SOLUTIONS
CENTER
INFORMATION:
In 2013, the City of Anaheim (City) introduced “Coming Home Anaheim”, the City’s
response to addressing the needs of our homeless residents. This initiative is a
collaborative response that brings together the resources of the City, local service
providers and the faith-based community.
Under the umbrella of the Coming Home Anaheim initiative, the City established the
Homeless Assistance Pilot Program (HAPP) for homeless families in 2015 and more
recently, launched the Chronically Homeless Individuals Pilot Program (CHIPP), which
both provide rental assistance and supportive services for persons who are homeless in
Anaheim. However, to date, the City has lacked a centralized Anaheim-based location
where these services can be delivered. In order to address this gap, the Authority is
seeking approval to initiate the operation of the Anaheim Service Center (ASC) at the
property located at 883 South Anaheim Blvd. The center will be operated by the
Illumination Foundation (IF), an organization that, since July 2008, has worked tirelessly
to break the cycle of homelessness for Southern California’s most vulnerable population.
IF is the service provider for both the HAPP and CHIPP program. The building has
recently undergone significant rehabilitation, including upgrades to address accessibility
issues, and is ideally configured for the delivery of services including intake, case
management, and peer group meetings.
In addition to serving as the headquarters for the HAPP and CHIPP program, the ASC
will operate as a resource center for individuals and families who are at-risk of
homelessness, as well as persons who are already experiencing homelessness and are
seeking services.
Under this model, IF staff will be available to assist families and/or individuals to
navigate through the myriad of services that are available through local social service
agencies, the City and the County in the hopes of connecting persons to the appropriate
services, based on individual need. IF will work closely with the Anaheim Collaborative,
as well as CityNet, the City’s street outreach provider, to ensure that persons in need of
these services have access to, and are aware of, the ASC.
