ITEM TITLE: Resolution 4.2/71Approving the agreement between the City of
Chula Vista and the San Diego Association of Governments for
local technical assistance in the preparation of the City of
Chula Vista' s Housing Assistance Plan
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Director
REVIEWED BY: City Manager"- (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
The City is required to have a Housing Assistance Plan approved by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in order to receive
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The San Diego Association of
Governments (SANDAG) has offered assistance in preparing that plan, and an
agreement has been prepared.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Council adopt the resolution approving the
agreement between the City of Chula Vista and the San Diego Association of
Governments for assistance in the preparation of the annual Housing Assistance
Plan.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
DISCUSSION:
The Housing Assistance Plan is a Federal requirement for eligibility for
receiving Community Development Block Grant funds. The CDBG funds are
provided to communities by the Federal government to assist low and moderate
income individuals, to prevent or eliminate slums and blight, or to address
urgent needs. As housing assistance to low income households is a prime
factor in these pursuits, HUD has tied program funding to housing assistance.
This report is a documentation of the City's assessment of lower income
housing needs within its jurisdiction and a statement of the steps the City
intends to take to redress those needs.
Much of the data on housing conditions and needs for previous Housing
Assistance Plans were provided for Chula Vista by SANDAG. Through the Local
Technical Assistance Program, SANDAG will assist cities in the preparation of
the needs assessment sections of their Housing Assistance Plans. The needs
assessment is based on census data, growth forecasts, and other statistical
data.

Once the City has received the needs assessment portions of the plan from
SANDAG, staff will prepare the housing goals sections of the plan in response
to the stated needs and in accordance with HUD regulations. The plan will
then be brought forward to the Council for consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fee to prepare Parts I and II of Chula Vista' s Housing
Assistance Plan by SANDAG is not to exceed $1 ,200. The total cost of the
SANDAG service is not to exceed $2,200, but the first $1 ,000 of the cost is
absorbed by SANDAG under the Local Technical Assistance Program. Sufficient
funds are available in Account #632-6320-BG131 . No General Fund monies will
be used.
