Exhibit 1
§302(c)(4)Plan Rev.517121
§302(c)(4)(A)Describe the manner in which allocated funds will be used for eligible activities.
The City of Chula Vista is proposing 100%of its PLHA funding towards housing opportunities for those earning up to 30 percent of the San Diego County Area Median Income(AMI)through funding of a minimum
65 bed Bridge Shelter as well as associated wrap-around services for homeless persons.In response to the City's declaration of a shelter crisis in 2018 and the public health crisis of COVID-19,Chula Vista
intends to prioritize its PLHA funding to fund in part the operation of a Bridge Shelter that will provide an opportunity for those most vulnerable within the community safe and stable shelter.Chula Vista will
continue to seek funding for other activities as described based upon leveraging and the most efficient and effective use of various funding sources that may be available at that time. Use of PLHA funds for this
unmet housing need through beds in a Bridge Shelter is consistent with the City's 2013-2021 Certified Housing Element.
§302(c)(4)(B)Provide a description of the way the Local government will prioritize investments that increase the supply of housing for households with incomes at or below 60 percent of Area Median Income
(AM 1).
PLHA funding will only he allocated to an activity(e.g.homeless shelter)seeking to benefit households that are homeless with household incomes at or less than 30%of the Area Median Income services and,as
such,serving the homeless meets the requirement to prioritize investments that increase the supply of housing for households with incomes at or below 60%AMI.
The City has experience in leveraging HOME funds and Housing Successor funds to support acquisition and rehabilitation and new construction projects serving households at 30%to 60%AMI that have been
funded with tax credits,Multifamily Housing Revenue bonds,State Multifamily Housing funds and other state and county funds.This existing plan will be utilized for administering PLHA funds as well.The funding
of homeless services and shelters requires the leveraging of multiple layers of financing.The City and its Housing Authority proposes to combine its available CDBG,ESG,HOME and remaining Housing
Successor funds with PLHA funds to maximize the services and beds available.
§302(c)(4)(C)Provide a description of how the Plan is consistent with the programs set forth in the Local Government's Housing Element.
As outlined within Chula Vista's 2013 Housing Element,Objective H-6 specifically calls for the City to"promote the development of a variety of housing choices,coupled with appropriate services,to meet the
needs of special population groups,including the homeless,those"at-risk"of becoming homeless,persons with disabilities,and seniors."With over 312 homeless persons within Chula Vista as of the 2020 Point
in Time Count and 68%of those being unsheltered and as further detailed within the Housing Element there is a significant gap of the number of unsheltered within the community and the beds available for the
general population of homeless.
