HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN
CITY OF CHULA VISTA
198§-1988
The Housing Assistance Plan (HAP) of the City of Chula Vista 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. It is a three-year plan, covering the period from
October l, 1985 to September 30, 1988. The HAP is submitted to the U. S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a component of the City
of Chula Vista's application for funding under the Con~nunity Development Block
Grant {CDBG) program.
The HAP contains five elements: a survey of housing conditions in Chula
Vista; an assessment of housing assistance needs created by those conditions;
a statement of three-year goals to redress the identified needs; an annual
goal statement; and an identification of appropriate general locations for
publicly-assisted new construction or substantial rehabilitation.
Accompanying these elements are narrative elaborations and data sheets on the
methodology used to assess conditions and needs. Much of the data on
conditions and needs was compiled for Chula Vista by the San Diego Association
of Governments (SANDAGJ__under their Local Technical Assistance Program.

NARRATIVE TO PART l, TABLE l: HOUSING STOCK CONDITIONS

HOUSING STOCK CONDITIONS, PART I, TABLE I / ~'~ ~i?
Part I, Table I, was prepared by SANDAG through its Local Technical Assistance
Program. Numbers entered in the form were derived from census data provided
by HUD. All the background informatrion and calculations are provided in the
methodology which is on file in the Community Development Department of the
City of Chula Vista.
1. Definitions: Substandard units, as dJfined by the City, means those units
whic~ fall to meet Chula Vista building/housing codes. Those codes meet
or exceed the Housing Quality Standards under 24 CFR 882.109.
Substandard units indentified in the 1980 census were those units lacking
complete plumbing facilities, which means the unit contains (1) complete
plumbing facilities which are shared with another household, (2) some, but
not all plumbing facilities, or (3) no plumbing facilities. Occupied
units housing more than 1.O1 persons per room were considered substandard,
as well as owner-occupied units built before 1940 and valued at less than
$35,000. SANDAG calculated the missing value factor for renter occupied
units.
Substandard units suitable for rehabilitation, as defined by the City,
means those substandard units which:
a. are structurally sound,
b. would have economic value after rehabilitation investment, and
c. after rehabilitation would meet at minimum the Section 8 Housing
Quality Standards and the local/building codes.
Since the lg80 census did not provide this information, percentages ~rem
the 1975 Special Census were applied to the substandard total from the
lg80 census. Of the units identified as deteriorating, 95.8% were
considered suitable for rehabilitation. This proportion is consistent
with the City's knowledge and experience of housing conditions, based upon
the operation of its housing rehabilitation program.
2. Displacement: It is anticipated that during the three year period of the
Housing Assistance Plan, 1 lower income household will require rental
assistance as a result of redevelopment activity.
-5-
It should be noted that the mobile home residents in Chula Vista are
somewhat sheltered from displacement by Exclusively Mobile Home Park
zoning and by an ordinance requiring relocation assistance by a park owner
discontinuing the operation of a park.
3. Expected to Reside: The Expected to Reside (ETR) total for Chula Vista is
646 individuals. This projection was calculated by SANDAG using their
bi-annual Regional Growth Forecasts,-which forecast population,' housing,
and employment growth for the San Diego region and SANDAG's "fair share"
allocation to Chula Vista of lower income housing responsibility from the
SANDAG Area Wide Housing Opportunity Plan (.042). The ETR total is based
on all lower income expected-to-reside as being renters.
4. Lower Income Minority Households: The 1980 census indicates a total
minority population in Chula Vista of 31.9 percent. The three largest
minority groups are: Spanish/Hispanic at 23.4 percent, Asian at 6
percent, and Black at 1.9 percent.
The following chart indicates the numbers of lower income minority
households in Chula Vista living in substandard housing. This data was
extrapolated by SANDAG by applying 1975 Special Census percentages to the
total households in the substandard housing calculation.
LOWER INCOME MINORITY HOUSEHOLDS IN SUBSTANDARD HOUSING
American
Black Hispanic Asian Native Total
Owners lB 185 49 12 264
Renters 35 351 92 22 501J
It can be seen, in comparing the owner and renter totals above with lines 6c
and 7c of Form 7091.1, that minority households occupy 35 percent of Chula
Vista's substandard owner units and 38 percent of Chula Vista's substandard
renter units.
The chart below indicates those low income minority households overpaying for
housing, by household size:

Large Family 12 53 24 4
Total 145 625 285 43
-6-
Disabled Households: The California State Department of Housing and
Community Development has estimated the existence in the San Diego Region
of 17,976 disabled households. Chula Vista's total population is 4.3% of
· the region's total population. Assuming a proportionality between total
population and disabled households, it could be estimated that Chula
' Vista's disabled household population would be 773, or 4.3% of the
regional total.
No 1980 census data exists cross-tabulating disability with income or
household size or household type. However, it is a reasonable assumption
that a substantial portion of disabled households would fall within
Section 8 income limits, especially those with work and transportation
disabilities. Additionally, it could be assumed that a substantial number
of those lower income disabled households would be in need of rental
subsidy. Their housing problems are compounded by design and location
requirements which reduce unit supply and increase unit cost.
Using 1980 Census regional data on work and transportation disability, and
limited statistical information from the Community Service Center for the
Disabled, SANDAG has calculated the percentage distribution of disabled
households over household types. Below is a chart showing those
percentages applied to the estimate of "in need" disabled households in
Chula Vista.
LOW INCOME DISABLED HOUSEHOLDS IN CHULA VISTA NEEDING RENTAL ASSISTANCE
El~er]~ Small Family Large Family Total
Percentage 32.3 53.6 12.1 lO0
Households 454 294 25 773
Non-elderly, single, disabled persons are included with elderly low-income
households in the HAP Needs Section, Table II.
6. Single Parent Households: Single parent households suffer special housing
needs as a result of a combination of factors: they tend to be lower
income; they are often minority; they have difficulty finding rental units
accepting children regardless of recent legislation.
According to the 1980 Census data, single-mother families comprise 10.6%
of all the region's families. But they form 55.4% of all below poverty
families. An additional revealing statistic is that 95.2% of all families
receiving Aid to Families wi th Dependent Children from the County Social
Services Department are female-headed. It can be assumed then, that a
significant majority of single-mother households are in need of rental
assistance. Single father households comprise 4.8% of the County's Aid to
Families with Oependent Children roles, their economic disadvantages
appearing to be less great.
-7-
Minority households have a substantially higher proportion of
single-family households than non-minority households. Black households
make up 2.7% of all Chula Vista households, but they make up 4.1% of
single-parent households. Hispanics make up 13.7% of all Chula Vista
households, and 22.5% of single-parent households. The minority
single-parent households may encounter additional obstacles to adequate
housing as a result of racial discrimination.
Finally, single-parent households, occupying principally the rental tenure
type as a result of low income status, encounter housing impediments as a
result of discrimination against children in rental units. In spite of
recent legislation against such discrimination, the perception is that it
is still widespread. Both single-mother and single-father households face
this dilemma.

NARRATIVE TO PART II: THREE-YEAR GOAL
-9-
NARRATIVE TO PART II: THREE-YEAR GOAL /f~ ~ /
Implementation Actions: The City of Chula Vista will pursue numerous efforts
to achieve the three-year goals articulated in the HAP. The City's efforts
will include new construction assistance, rehabilitation of existing
single-family and multi-family units, enhanced utilization of existing stock,
and enabling zoning and regulation. The City will look to HUD for ~inancial
assistance, as well as to the City's local resources.
Housing Rehabilitation: The Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) will
use leverage CDBG funds to accomplish the rehabilitation of 120 owner occupied
units, both single family homes and mobile homes and 136 multi-family rental
units. Under an agreement with a local lending institution, low interest
loans, deferred loans, and grants will be used to correct code violations and
to make general property improvements. In most cases, rehabilitated units
will be substandard units brought to standard condition. Some mobile homes
unsuitable for rehabilitation may be replaced with loans granted through a
local non-profit organization. Rehabilitated multi-family units will be
maintained as affordable units for lower income households through rent
restriction agreements. Tenant income will be verified and annually monitored
to assure compliance with the $1% benefit regulation.
Approximately 480 units belonging to lower income homeowners will receive home
repair and improvements such as weatherization, which will not necessarily
result in standard condition. These improvements will be provided by the MAAC
project, a non-profit community-based social service agency that receives
City, County, State and Federal grants to provide home improvement services to
low income, usually owner, households.
Rental Assistance: The City will continue to participate through the Housing
Authority of the County of San Diego in the Section 8 Existing program. The
City anticipates the allocation by HUD and the Housing Authority of 200
much-needed additional units of Section 8 Existing housing assistance during
the three year period. Additionally, the City anticipates the allocation by
HUD of 45 certificates/vouchers under the Rental Rehabilitation Program.
New Construction: The City will request that the Housing Authority apply to
HUD for any available additional Low Income Public Housing (LIPH) units with
the anticipation that 90 units could be obtained over the three-year period.
The City will consider assisting resulting Public Housing projects through
site acquisition efforts, land cost right-down, and other financial
assistance, as well as development regulation exceptions.
The City will encourage non-profit housing developers to apply for any
available Section 202/8 units in this region. The City is anticipating 137
units of such housing be awarded in our jurisdiction. Again, the City will
consider assisting with the same efforts indicated above for LIPH.
-lO-
Low Income Housing Fund: The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista
,is required by State law to set aside 20% of its excess tax increment funds in
a Low Income Housing Fund. The resultant funds can be used to assist in many
facets of housing development for households at or below 120% of median
income. The Redevelopment Agency has adopted an ordinance finding the
appropriateness of utilizing the funds anywhere in the City if that use
furthers the goals of the City's Housing Assistance Plan, which constitutes
the redevelopment project area's Replacement Housing Plan. As of ~eptember
1985, the low income housing fund has a balance of approximately $2.3 million.
The City continues to assist new construction of low income multi-family units
with this fund through such measures as site acquisition, land cost
right-down, provision of on- and off-site improvements, equity participation,
and financing assistance. Public Housing projects currently being built in
Chula Vista have been assisted by this fund with the named techniques.
The City continues to attempt to utilize these funds to assist in the
provision of a low and moderate income displaced mobile home park. All of the
aforementioned techniques are used, with the possible addition of the
provision of seed money and a down payment loan fund for the establishment of
a limited-equity cooperative mobile home park.
The City intends to request an allocation of $22 million in single-family
mortgage revenue bond authority from the State Mortgate Bond Allocation
Committee and awaits probable authorization at the end of Fiscal Year 1985-86.
The City will also continue to consider multi-family mortgage revenue bond
issues.
Shared Housing: . The City provided $20,000 of Community Development Block
Grant funds in Fiscal Year 1985-86 to a non-profit senior service organization
to operate a shared housing program. The Shared Housing Program uses a
referral, screening, and evaluation network to match low income home seekers
with homeowners having available space. The housing costs of both parties can
thus be reduced significantly. Participants to date have been predominantly
elderly and almost exclusively low income.
The City has a provision in its zoning ordinance for low income senior housing
development. Under the conditional use permit process, multi-family rental
projects exclusively for elderly at or below 80% of median income can receive
unlimited density bonuses and waivers of such development standards as lot
coverage restrictions, setbacks, and parking requirements. In addition, these
projects may al so be assisted through a City-issued multi-family mortgage
revenue bonds.
-11 -
?
Finally, the Action Program of the Housing Element of the City's General Plan
-encourages innovative housing developments, going on record as being receptive
to such approaches as reduced' unit size and reduced lot size planned
residential developments and manufactured housing subdivisions.

GENERAL LOCATIONS - PART III
GENERAL LOCATIONS - PART III
The City of Chula Vista contains 28 census tracts under the 1980 Census. They
are as follows:

It is appropriate to identify the entire City as a priority area for new
construction or substantial rehabilitation. There are no census tracts which
are exclusively industrial or agricultural. And although several census
tracts are Community Development Block Grant-eligible low income
neighborhoods, none could be characterized as seriously impacted and all could
support assisted housing without unfavorable concentration of lower income or

NARRATIVE TO PART IV - ANNUAL HOUSING ASSISTANCE GOAL
NARRATIVE TO ANNUAL HOUSING ASSISTANCE GOALS - PART IV
For the first year of the three-year goal, October 1985 to September 1986, the
City will continue to pursue HUD Rental Assistance Programs, the construction
of low income rentals and rehabilitation of single-family units and
multi-family rentals.
The City anticipates that, on its behalf, the County Housing Authority will
receive gl units of Section 8 Existing Authority from HUD. The City also
intends to request the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego to pursue
with HUD the allocation of Low Income Public Housing funds to develop up to 30
additional Low Income Public Housing units in Chula Vista. The City would
explore assisting with land cost assistance and with density bonus. The City
also anticipates receiving from HUD 15 units of Rental Rehabilitation and the
associated certificates/vouchers.
_ The City will continue to appropriately apply its multi-family, mortgage
revenue bond program. Approximately 100 units could be so financed. As a
condition of City sponsorship, projects have to certify low income tenancy of
20 percent of their units to the City. Semi-annual certified rent-rolls,
monitoring, and audits are required. Failure to sustain the 20 percent low
income occupancy could result in default on the project mortgage.
The City's Redevelopment Agency will continue to negotiate wi th multi-family
housing developers with the intention of assisting in the development of
affordable multi-family rental units by using the Low Income Housing Fund from
Redevelopment Tax Allocation Funds. Intended techniques have been listed
above. Interest still exists within the development community to build
multi-family units, and the City feels a commitment for up to 120 units during
this annual period is achievable. Occupancy of such units by lower income
households is assured through regulatory agreements.
The Community Housing Improvement Program will continue to rehabilitate
single-family, multi-family, and mobile home units. Low income occupancy of
multi-family units will be protected by rent limitation at the Section 8 Fair
Market Rents and by initial income verification and semi-annual monitoring.
Furthemore, the City will continue to recirculate the repayment of Community
Development Block Grant monies for home and rental rehabilitation loans. The
City will also utilize tax increment revenues generated from redevelopment
projects for rehabilitation loans.
