advised the City that additional Emergency Solution Grant entitlement funds will be
available for fiscal year 2011/2012 in the amount of $49,403. This item approves the
amendment to the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan and 2011-2012 Annual Action Plan which
contains the spending plan to incorporate the use of these funds.

DISCUSSION
As an entitlement community with the Department of Housing and Urban Development,
the City receives funds under three block grant programs:
• Community Development Block Grant
• Home Investment Partnerships
• Emergency Solution Grant Funds, formerly known as Emergency Shelter Grant
As a recipient of these HUD funds, the City is required to develop afive-year plan
outlining its housing and community development needs and objectives. In addition to the
Consolidated Plan, the City is required to submit an Annual Action Plan indicating how the
City plans to use the funds it will receive from HUD to address the priority needs identified
in the Consolidated Plan. The Annual Plan constitutes the City's annual application to
HUD for its grant funds.
The entitlement amounts allocated to each jurisdiction are determined using a formula
based on statistical and demographic data. The funds aim to provide decent housing, a
suitable living environment, and to expand economic opportunities, principally for 1ow-
and moderate-income persons.
Due to a delay at the Federal level, the City had not been notified of the final second
allocation of ESG funding for the current fiscal year at the time the other funds were
programmed. The City has now been advised by HUD of the final 2011-2012 grant
allocations for the Emergency Solutions Grant and the City is required to prepare a HUD
Amendment and incorporate the use of said funds.
2010-2015 FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND 2011-2012 ANNUAL
ACTION PLAN AMENDMENT
The goals of the second allocation of Emergency Solution Grant funds are to help homeless
families or those who are at risk of becoming homeless who can be rapidly re-housed and,
with a plan, can become self sufficient. The ESG funds would provide short term to
medium term rental assistance (along with case management) to assist those families who
need extra help to become self sufficient. The draft ESG substantial amendment is
included as Attachment 1.
Citizen Participation Process
HUD requires that both the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan and 2011-2012 Annual Action
Plans be amended to incorporate the use of the second allocation of ESG funding and to
solicit input from various groups as well as obtain public comment.
For the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan and the 2011-2012 Annual Action Plan Amendment,
the City's outreach efforts included meeting with the Regional Continuum of Care
stakeholders, presenting the City's recommendations at the South Bay Homeless Advocacy
March and April meetings. The Substantial Amendment to the Consolidated Plan and the
Annual Action Plan were available fora 30-day review and comment period from March
16, 2012 to April 16, 2012. In the event Staff receives public comment tonight, we will
2-2

Page 3 of 4
incorporate all public comments received and submit the Consolidated Plan and Annual
Action Plan Amendment to HUD by May 14, 2012.
EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT (ESG) PROGRAM
Chula Vista received a first ESG entitlement allocation of $87,827 for fiscal year 2011-
2012. Staff was advised that a second allocation was going to be provided to the City, but
the exact dollar amount was not available. Using estimated figures, the City allocated a
total of $122,027 of ESG program funds in the current year budget. These ESG funds are
designed to be the first step in a continuum of assistance to prevent homelessness and to
enable homeless individuals and families to move toward independent living. ESG is a
formula-funded program that uses the CDBG formula as the basis for. allocating funds to
eligible jurisdictions.
With the availability of the final amount of the second allocation, these funds will be used
primarily toward assisting homeless prevention activities. A .portion is also available to
cover the administration costs. The original allocation was already allocated and
appropriated as demonstrated in the table below.

HUD GRANT AGREEMENT
By May 11, 2012, the final Annual Action Plan must be submitted to the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development. Once HUD approves the proposed Amendments, the
City Manager signs the Grant Agreements for the ESG Entitlement program. A Sample
grant agreement is included in Attachment 2.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has determined that the second allocation under the Administration and Homeless
Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing is not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule
found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this
decision.
The existing South Bay Community Services Casa Nueva Vida project is site specific. For
this reason, Staff reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the projects and programs.

CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
$122,027 has already been appropriated in the current budget. An additional $15,203 will
be included in the FY13 operating budget.
In the remote event that HUD should withdraw the City's CDBG and HOME funding, the
agreements provide that the City is not obligated to compensate the Subrecipients for
program expenditures.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact. The City receives an annual entitlement of ESG funds.

On May 10, 2011, the City of Chula Vista (City), submitted its fiscal year (FY) 2011-12
Consolidated Annual Funding Plan (Plan) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUDj. This Plan identified FY 2011-12 projects and funding amounts for the
Emergency Shelter Grant program.
On May 2010, the City submitted the 2010-2015 Five Year Consolidated Plan (Consolidated
Plan) that covers the period of July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2015 to HUD. The Consolidated Plan
identified goals and the resources to meet those goals during the Consolidated Plan's five-year
period based on study of local needs. The Emergency Shelter Grant, now the Emergency
Solutions Grant, funds services for specific needs populations.
On May 2011 the City submitted the Annual Action Plan, which included the one year vision,
goals and objectives towards the five year goals identified in the Consolidated Plan. The Action
Plan identified the following activities to be funded with the 2011-12 Emergency Solutions
Grant allocation in the amount of $122,027. This amount represented the $89,722 annual
entitlement along with an increase of $32,302 generated through the Hearth Act.
For the purposes of this report, the 2011/2012 grant allocation of $122,027 will be referred to
as ESG-1.

Subsequent to the grant increase notification, the City received the final HUD Funding
Agreements which only included an ESG allocation of $87,827 and not the total anticipated
amount of $122,027. In response, the City programmed $87,827 and not the $122,027 as
approved by the City Council.
Substantial Amendment
In December, 2011, the Department of Housing and Urban Development released the final ESG
funding amount. The City would receive an increase of $43,317, $15,203 more than anticipated
(referred to as ESG-2). The new allocation, coupled with the entitlement allocation of $83,621
increased the city's ESG funds to a total of $137,230. As stated, the original ESG amount

2011/2012 Action Plan Amendment Emergency
programmed in the 2011/2012 Action Plan was $122,027. Regulations require that an increase
in funding for any activity identified in the Annual Action Plan requires a substantial
amendment to notify the public of the intention to increase funding to an activity by
identifying: 1) amount of funding to be allocated; and, 2) activity description. This amendment
will program the difference between the amount previously programmed through the Annual
Action Plan and the final amount granted of $15,203. This amendment will satisfy the
requirement to program the ESG-2 funds. Following is the revised list of ESG activities to be
undertaken for the 2011/2012 program funds.

Summary of Consultation Process
On January 26, 2012, the City of Chula Vista consulted with the RCCC's Steering Group to
discuss the new ESG regulations and to plan for the portion of the FY 2011-12 allocation
restricted to homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing. On January 31, 2012, the full RCCC
approved the use of the ESG homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing in ways that:
• Foster greater access to permanent housing, that is affordable to persons at or below
30% of the area median income;
• Leverage existing resources to achieve the program's match and case management
requirements;
• Coordinate across regional entitlement jurisdictions by utilizing standardized eligibility
and assessment tools;
• Support federal and local goals for priority populations, including but not limited to
veterans, families and other special needs populations;
• Allow for variations in the program design that responds to the needs and resources of
the jurisdiction;
• Comply with new eligibility and verification requirements (HMIS, housing status,
habitability standards, homeless definitions, etc); and
• Allow each program to take responsibility for arranging intake, assessment, case
management, reporting, and meeting public notice requirements.

2011/2012 Action Plan Amendment Emergency
Summary of Citizen Participation Process
A Public Notice describing the Substantial Amendment and its availability for review was
available on the City of Chula Vista's Housing website at www.chulavistaca.gov/cvrh and was
published in the Star News on March 2, 2012 for a 30 day public comment period.
Presentations were also provided to the South Bay Homeless Advocacy Coalition, a group
comprised of nonprofit organizations, local government agencies and members of the public.
The presentations took place on January 9, 2012 and March 12 and included a description of
the proposed use of funds received from HUD through the Hearth Act. A copy of the
substantial amendment was also provided to the coalition members on April 9 to solicit
additional public input. No comments were received during this period.
Match
In accordance with 24 CFR 576.201, program regulations require the City to match the second
allocation with an equal amount of funding from federal, state or local resources. The City of
Chula Vista will utilize a match from the City's Neighborhood Stabilization program to meet this
match requirement. Other sources of match may be identified as the project is underway and
the City works with other organizations to leverage the City's resources.
Proposed Activities
The City of Chula proposes to use the FY 2011-12 second allocation of the Emergency Solutions
Grant is to provide case management, security deposit, utility deposit assistance, and rental
assistance for approximately 5 households whose incomes are at or below 30% of the area
median income.

Performance Indicators:

Projected Accomplishments (first year):
Provide case management and rental assistance (security deposit assistance and utility deposit
assistance, if needed), to approximately 5 eligible households who are eligible.
Projected Accomplishments (24-months):
Provide case management and rental assistance (security deposit assistance and utility deposit
assistance, if needed), to approximately 5 eligible households who are eligible.
Discussion of Funding Priorities:
The City of Chula Vista, in collaboration with the RCCC, choose to fund this proposed activity to
foster greater access to affordable permanent housing for families who can become self-
sufficientafter receiving rental assistance for up to 12 months.
The proposed activities will support the national priority to end homelessness by 2015 by
providing Rapid Re-Housing resources to eligible homeless families.
There are a number of major obstacles that hinder the goal of ending homelessness in the San
Diego region including: the cost of the local permitting process, the cost of land, lack of
incentives as barriers to developing affordable housing in general, the lack of permanent
supportive housing, the lack of coordination between governmental agencies administering
programs that is particularly evident in discharge planning from medical and penal institutions;
and, barriers to the access of mainstream resources, which include the eligibility process. A
protracted eligibility process with strict documentation requirements, combined with limited
resources, continue to be identified as major barriers in an annual survey of consumers and by
service providers. Lack of access to specialized services is particularly evident with the major
health programs such as, Medicare, Medicaid/Medi-Cal and with some housing programs
where local priorities prevail. Although most chronically homeless qualify for some form of
disability income, those attempting to access benefits generally fail three times before
successfully receiving the benefits. General Relief is very limited and does not include
homelessness as eligibility criteria. The regional planning efforts include recommendations to
address and overcome these obstacles.

Detailed Budget:
Refer to Appendix D - FY2011-12 Detailed Budget Table
Written Standards for Provision of ESG Assistance
The City of Chula Vista, in collaboration with the RCCC and other ESG entitlement jurisdictions,
will utilize and re-engineer and build upon the assessment and evaluation instruments
developed by the region for the previously funded HPRP for the new ESG regional programs.
The City, in collaboration with the RCCC, will ensure the ongoing effectiveness of the program's
design and standards. In addition, the City will ensure that sub-awardees comply with eligibility
and verification requirements including HMIS. To ensure long-term compliance with program
requirements, the County of San Diego will monitor the grant activities carried out by the sub-
awardees, and the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan.
The City of Chula Vista will conduct ongoing monitoring to ensure program expenditure goals
and requirements are met in accordance with HUD guidelines.
Process for Making Sub-awards
The City of Chula Vista Development Services Housing Division will administer the HPRP
program using the same model as the recently funded HPRP program.
Performance Standards
The City of Chula Vista ESG's second allocation will complement and contribute to the
Continuum of Care program performance measures by providing permanent supportive
housing assistance to eligible homeless families. Participants of the program will receive case
management and other services.
The program's design will eliminate two barriers to ensure homeless families are rapidly-re-
housed by providing security and utility deposit assistance coupled with long term rental
subsidies. The RCCC goals and objectives promote moving homeless individuals and families
through a continuum that offers a wide variety of housing options to ensure individuals and
families remain permanently housed 6 months or more.
