Action Items are items expected to cause discussion and/or action by the City Council but do not legally require a public hearing. Closed Session may only be attended by members of the City Council, support staff, legal counsel, and others specified on the agenda. Closed session may be held in very limited circumstances as authorized by law.

Ordinances usually amend, repeal, or supplement the Municipal Code; provide zoning specifications; or appropriate money for specific purposes. Most ordinances require two hearings and go into effect 30 days after the final approval. Proclamations are issued by the City to honor significant achievements by community members, highlight an event, promote awareness of community issues, and recognize City employees.

Department: Finance G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: No Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(C)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution transferring unclaimed monies in the amount of $172,964.08 from the Deposits Fund to the City General Fund. SUMMARY The City of Chula Vista (“City”) currently holds unclaimed monies in the Deposits Fund from uncashed accounts payable checks. Government Code sections 50050 et seq. state that money which remains unclaimed for three years may become the property of the City after certain advertising requirements are met. Public notice was properly published on April 18, 2025, and April 25, 2025, stating that certain monies would become City property if still unclaimed on June 2, 2025. The unclaimed amount of $172,964.08 is now City property and is eligible for transfer to the City General Fund. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Page 34 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not Applicable DISCUSSION The City currently holds unclaimed monies in the Deposits Fund. These funds originate from stale-dated accounts payable checks that have remained unclaimed for three or more years. Pursuant to Government Code section 50050 et seq., money that remains unclaimed for three years may become the property of the City following compliance with certain public notice requirements. Specifically, the City must publish notice of the unclaimed funds in a newspaper of general circulation once a week for two consecutive weeks. (Gov. Code, § 50050.) If no valid claim is made within the prescribed period, the funds become property of the City and may be transferred to the general fund. (Gov. Code, §§ 50050, 50051, 50053.) The City published notices in the Star News on April 18 and April 25, 2025. The notices stated that, as of June 2, 2025, certain unclaimed funds on deposit in the City treasury, which had remained unclaimed for three or more years, would become property of the City unless claimed by that date. As of June 2, 2025, the amount of $172,964.08 remains unclaimed and is now eligible for transfer to the General Fund. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Councilmembers do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act. (Cal. Gov. Code, § 87100 et seq.) Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Councilmembers, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Approval of this resolution will result in the transfer of $172,964.08 from the Deposits Fund to the City General Fund, resulting in a positive fiscal impact of $172,964.08 to the General Fund. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact for this one-time transfer. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution establishing the appropriations limit (Gann Limit) for the City of Chula Vista for Fiscal Year 2025-26. SUMMARY Article XIIIB of the California Constitution requires each local government to establish an appropriations limit for the General Fund by resolution each year at a regularly scheduled meeting or noticed special meeting. The purpose of the appropriations limit is to restrict spending of certain types of revenues to a level predicated on a base year amount increased annually by an inflation factor (“Appropriations Limit”). ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not Applicable Page 42 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 2 DISCUSSION Article XIIIB of the California Constitution imposes the concept of spending limits on local governments. This Constitutional provision and related implementing legislation specifies that annual increases in general fund appropriations financed from “Proceeds of Taxes” are limited to a base year amount increased annually by an inflation factor (“Appropriations Limit”). By definition, “Proceeds of Taxes” includes such revenues as property taxes, sales and use taxes, utility user taxes, transient occupancy taxes, and state subventions. Revenues from other sources like fees, charges, and federal grants are considered “Non-Proceeds of Taxes” and are not subject to the annual spending limit. The proceeds of taxes for the City of Chula Vista (“City”) have historically been less than the statutory Appropriations Limit. Under current guidelines, local jurisdictions may choose among measures of population growth and inflation to compute the annual inflation factor. These measures of growth are provided by the State Department of Finance and the San Diego Assessor’s Office. According to these sources, the City’s population increased 0.19 percent. California per capita personal income increased by 6.44 percent and the City’s local assessment roll increased by 3.85 percent from the addition of local, nonresidential new construction. The City of Chula Vista’s annual population growth (0.19%) and the annual change in California’s per capita personal income (6.44%) were selected to calculate the fiscal year 2025-26 Appropriations Limit. The fiscal year 2025-26 Appropriations Limit has been calculated as follows: Fiscal Year 2024-25 Appropriations Limit $1,362,259,057 Increased by an inflation factor composed of the Increase in population and Increase in California per capita income X 1.0664224 Fiscal Year 2025-26 Appropriations Limit $1,452,743,519 The “Proceeds of Taxes” included in the fiscal year 2025-26 proposed budget that are subject to the Appropriations Limit are estimated to be $239,352,012 (see Attachment 1). The City has what is referred to as an appropriation “gap” of $1,213,391,507 ($1,452,743,519 - $239,352,012). As a result, the City may collect and spend up to $1,213,391,507 more in taxes during fiscal year 2025-26 without exceeding the Constitutional limit. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act. (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.) Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.

ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT This action will enable the City to appropriate and spend tax revenues estimated at $239,352,012 included in the proposed budget for fiscal year 2025-26. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Consequently, California per capita personal income change was used in the formula to compute the Appropriations Limit as this increase is the greater of the two amounts; and WHEREAS, the fiscal year 2025-26 Appropriations Limit has been calculated to be $1,452,743,519; and WHEREAS, the "Proceeds of Taxes" as included in the fiscal year 2025-26 Proposed Budget that are subject to the Appropriations Limit are estimated to be $239,352,012; and Page 45 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda Resolution No. Page 2 WHEREAS, the City has what is referred to as an appropriation "gap” of $1,213,391,507 ($1,452,743,519 - $239,352,012) (“Appropriation Gap”); and WHEREAS, as a result of this Appropriation Gap the City may collect and spend up to $1,213,391,507 more in taxes during fiscal year 2025-26 without exceeding the Constitutional limit. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby establish an Appropriations Limit of $1,452,743,519 for fiscal year 2025-26 pursuant to the requirements of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and California Government Code section 7910.

Recommended Action Adopt a resolution approving the proposed list of projects for fiscal year 2025-26 funded by the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account created by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SUMMARY Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2034(a)(1), prior to receiving an apportionment of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, a City m ust submit a list of projects proposed to be funded to the California Transportation Commission. Staff is recommending City Council adoption of a resolution approving the City’s Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account project list for fiscal year 2025-26. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Section 15302 Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction), Section 15303 Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), and Section 15061(b)(3) because the proposed actions would not result in a significant effect on Page 48 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 2 the environment, create a cumulative impact, damage a scenic highway, or cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Thus, no further environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Senate Bill 1, or “SB 1”) established the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) which provides new funds to cities and counties throughout California to use for roadway maintenance and rehabilitation. SB1 increased per gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration taxes, stabilized the fuel tax rates and provided for inflationary adjustments to rates in future years. Required Annual Authorization The RMRA local streets and roads allocations are intended to be focused on improving the overall condition of the municipality’s pavement condition. Once a municipality reaches an average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 80, other transportation related projects may be proposed. As of April 2025, the City’s average PCI is 70 (good); therefore, RMRA funds should continue to be utilized specifically for roadway maintenance and rehabilitation. Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the California Transportation Commission (CTC) in a fiscal year, the City must submit an adopted list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds to the CTC by July 1st each year. All projects proposed to receive the fiscal year funding must be adopted by resolution by the City Council at a regular public meeting for each fiscal year (Streets and Highway Code Section 2034(a)(1)). The adopted list must include a description and the location of each proposed project, the estimated useful life of the improvement, and a proposed schedule for the project’s completion. The projected RMRA revenue for Chula Vista in fiscal year (FY) 2025-26 is $ 7,300,307 (Attachment 1) which was programmed with the adoption of the City’s FY 2025-26 CIP Program. The proposed project lists STM0415 and STL0477 for FY 2025-26 (Attachment 2), which includes street segments consisting of public roadway segments with PCI ratings between 14 to 94 that are recommended for maintenance and rehabilitation treatment, and PCI ratings between 62 to 89 that are recommended for maintenance treatment only. The overall City average PCI is projected to increase as these projects and other paving projects with TransNet funding are completed. The RMRA also requires that the City submit an annual expenditure report for all active and completed projects funded by the RMRA. The annual report will provide details on the projects completed to date and any updates to the original listing. This is the ninth year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding and such funding will enable the City to supplement the road maintenance and rehabilitation efforts needed on streets throughout the City. Page 49 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 3 The following are the previously adopted SB1 RMRA projects, including status: PROJECT STATUS FY 2017-18 (CIP STM0395) Completed FY 2018-19 (CIP STM0396) Completed FY 2019-20 (CIP STM0400) Completed FY 2020-21 (CIP STM0401) Completed FY 2021-22 (CIP STL0457) Construction Phase FY 2021-22 (CIP STM0410) Design Phase FY 2022-23 (CIP STL0460) Design Phase FY 2022-23 (CIP STM0412) Design Phase FY 2023-24 (CIP STL0465) Design Phase FY 2023-24 (CIP STM0413) Design Phase FY 2024-25 (CIP STL0472) Design Phase FY 2024-25 (CIP STM0403) Design Phase The projects proposed for adoption in FY 2025-26, CIP STL0477 - RMRA Pavement Maintenance FY 2025-26 and CIP STM0415 - RMRA Pavement Rehabilitation FY 2025-26, are estimated to start construction work in winter of 2026 with completion by Summer of 2027. Maintenance of Effort [Streets and Highways Code Sec. 2036] The RMRA contains a local agency Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirement that applies to funds allocated through the RMRA. Similar to the existing requirements for the Gas Tax and TransNet, the MOE requirement ensures that these new funds do not supplant existing levels of City and County discretionary revenue spending on streets and roads. For RMRA, the City must maintain discretionary fund spending for street, road, and highway purposes at no less than the average of fiscal years 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12, excluding one-time funds. The RMRA MOE for Chula Vista is $4,515,412 (Attachment 3). The City anticipates meeting the MOE requirement for FY 2025-26. The State Controller may perform audits to ensure compliance with these MOE rules. If the State Controller determines that the City has not met its MOE, the City will be required to reimburse the state for the funds it received during that fiscal year, although the City may expend during that fiscal year and the following fiscal year a total amount that is sufficient to comply. Any funds withheld or returned as a result of a failure to comply will be reapportioned to the other counties and cities whose expenditures are in compliance. Due to this requirement, the City established a separate account for RMRA funds within the Gas Tax Account. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found that Mayor John McCann has property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. However, the decision solely concerns repairs, replacement or maintenance of existing streets, water, sewer, storm drainage or similar facilities, and the member’s property will not be affected disproportionately to other properties receiving the same services. Consequently, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 2, sections 18700 and 18702.2(d)(1)), this item does not present a real property-related conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Page 50 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 4 Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT This action relates to funds to be received and expenditures to be incurred in fiscal year 2025-26, resulting in no fiscal impact in the current year. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Projected RMRA revenues and expenditures totaling $7,300,307, along with any remaining funds from previously completed RMRA projects, were incorporated into the FY 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program and adopted by the City Council as part of the City Manager’s Budget on May 20, 2025. No additional impact to the RMRA Fund is anticipated in fiscal year 2025-26. Any variance between actual RMRA allocations and the estimates used to develop the CIP will be addressed through the City’s Quarterly Financial Report process. Upon completion, the improved street segments will be incorporated into the Public Works Department’s routine street maintenance program, which is funded annually through the department’s operating budget. These improvements are designed to increase the useful life of the streets and reduce the need for more costly repairs over time. ATTACHMENTS 1. Local Streets and Roads Projected Revenues 2.

Department: Housing and Homeless Services G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: Yes Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Under the National Environmental Policy Act, the activity is exempt pursuant to Title 24, Part 58.34(a)(2)(3) & (10) of the Code of Federal Regulations. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution: (1) Approving the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan and the Fiscal Year 2025–26 Annual Action Plan for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development covering the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, and the Emergency Solutions Grant; (2) Authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary subrecipient agreements and HUD-related documents; and (3) Appropriating associated grant funds for program implementation. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY As a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) Entitlement Community, the City of Chula Vista (“City”) receives annual funding to support programs and services that enhance the quality of life for its most vulnerable populations. As a recipient of these funds, the City is required to develop and submit a Five-Year Consolidated Plan (“Consolidated Plan”) that describes the housing and community development needs of low- and moderate-income residents, and outlines strategies to address those needs. In addition, the City must develop and submit an Annual Action Plan (“Action Plan”) each year of the Consolidated Plan term. Page 66 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 2 On April 1, 2025, the draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025-26 Action Plan were released for a 30- day public comment period, which closed on April 30, 2025. No public comments were received. Staff now seeks Council approval of the final Consolidated Plan and Action Plan for submission to HUD. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”). Under CEQA, the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed activity will not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Under NEPA, the activity is exempt pursuant to Title 24, Part 58.34(a)(2)&(3) of the Code of Federal Regulations and pursuant to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development Environmental Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary at this time. Although environmental review is not required at this time, once the scope of potential project(s) has been defined, environmental review will be required for each project and the appropriate environmental determination will be made. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Input was solicited from the Housing and Homelessness Advisory Commission (“HHAC”) during its February 24, 2025, meeting. Comments received from HHAC have been incorporated into the priorities of the 2025- 2029 Consolidated Plan. DISCUSSION As an entitlement community with HUD, the City receives annual funding under three entitlement block grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (“HOME”), and Emergency Solutions Grant (“ESG”). The grant amounts allocated to each jurisdiction are determined using a formula based on statistical and demographic data. The purpose of this funding is primarily to provide low- and moderate-income persons housing, a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities. As a recipient of these funds, the City is required to prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan describing the housing and community development needs of the City’s low- and moderate-income residents and outlining strategies to address those needs over a five-year period. The Consolidated Plan provides the necessary policy guidance for implementation of programs and services to be funded, as further detailed in the Action Plan submitted to HUD, as the formal funding application for the respective program year. Both the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025-26 Action Plan are included as Attachment 1 to this staff report. Citizen Participation through Planning Process Community Meetings Engaging residents and community members in identifying and understanding current housing and community development needs, and prioritizing resources to address those needs, is a key component of Page 67 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 3 developing the Consolidated Plan. HUD requires the City to gather input from a broad range of residents, including minorities, non-English-speaking persons, low- and moderate-income households, individuals with disabilities, advocates for seniors, illiterate persons, and people experiencing homelessness, populations the grant programs are intended to serve. The community input received is used to shape the strategies and funding priorities described in the Consolidated Plan. To encourage participation, the City used its new public engagement platform, Community Voices. A dedicated webpage was launched in December 2024 to provide information on public meetings for Consolidated Plan development and to host a community needs survey, which was open from December 20, 2024, through February 28, 2025. City staff also held four public input meetings, one in each Council District, to give residents the opportunity to engage directly with staff and share their funding priorities. These meetings and the online survey were promoted through social media, the City’s newsletter, and announcements at community gatherings such as the Chula Vista Community Collaborative. Staff also distributed flyers and shared the Community Voices webpage with community partners and organizations that serve difficult-to-reach populations. Additional outreach included announcements through several local news outlets. City Council also hosted public hearings on February 4 and April 15, providing further opportunities for residents to participate in the grant planning process. A full list of public engagement activities are summarized in Table 1. Table 1: Community Input Opportunities Meeting Date Chula Vista Community Collaborative Announcement 1/14/2025 District 3 Community Input Meeting 1/16/2025 District 1 Community Input Meeting 1/27/2025 District 2 Community Input Meeting 1/30/2025 District 4 Community Input Meeting 2/3/2025 City Council Opening Public Hearing 2/4/2025 City Economic Development Department Consultation 2/24/2025 Housing and Homelessness Advisory Commission Meeting 2/24/2025 City Engineering & Public Works Departments Consultation 2/26/2025 City Council Recommendations Public Hearing 4/15/2025 Feedback received during the community input meetings focused heavily on public services, with residents expressing an increased need for senior and youth services in this category. This represents a shift from the previous Consolidated Plan period, during which residents prioritized homeless services. In each meeting, residents also emphasized the need for job creation and economic development, which aligns with the results of the online survey described below. In addition, attendees consistently noted the need for sidewalks in parts of the City’s west side where they are currently lacking. Participants also identified a growing need for programs eligible under HOME funding, such as rental assistance and the construction of affordable housing. Funding priorities determined through this community input process have been incorporated into the Consolidated Plan as goals and outcomes, which will be submitted to City Council for approval prior to HUD submission. Survey Results The community needs survey provided residents with an opportunity to weigh in on a variety of programs and projects that would benefit families and neighborhoods in Chula Vista. In total, 169 individuals Page 68 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 4 participated in the survey. While approximately 91% of respondents were community residents, the City also received input from local businesses and social service providers. Respondents were asked to prioritize needs within HUD-eligible funding categories, including: Services for Special Needs, Public Facilities, Public Services for Low-Income populations, Infrastructure, Facilities, Services for People Experiencing Homelessness, Affordable Housing, and Economic Development. While the responses, displayed in Figure 1, were similar to those received in 2020, there was a notable increase in Economic Development as a priority, with that category ranking second overall. Affordable Housing was the highest-ranked priority for the first time. Each of the funding categories included specific activities and programs designed to address identified needs. Based on these survey results, the funding priorities for the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025–26 Annual Action Plan were established and are described below. Survey responses also closely mirrored the feedback gathered during the community input meetings. Figure 1: HUD Funding Categories Identified Priorities 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan The 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan draws upon both qualitative and quantitative data collected through community engagement, market analysis, and the community needs survey to identify the City’s highest- priority needs for directing entitlement funding. The Consolidated Plan includes a Needs Assessment and Market Analysis, which provide insight into varying levels of need within the community and the broader conditions in which grant-funded programs will be implemented. The Needs Assessment incorporates national data from the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), along with relevant local data sources. Based on these data and community input, the Strategic Plan identifies the City’s priority needs, explains the rationale for funding allocations, and sets forth specific, measurable goals to be addressed over the five-year period. Table 2 presents the goals established to address the City’s highest-priority needs, as identified through the community survey and public input. These goals are ranked by priority level and are generally consistent Page 69 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 5 with those identified in the previous Consolidated Plan. Table 2: 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan Prioritized Goals Rank Goal Description Activities 1 Affordable Housing Increase and preserve affordable rental and homeowner housing to improve access to housing opportunities that reflect community needs. New construction Acquisition Rehabilitation First time homebuyer assistance Tenant-based rental assistance 2 Economic Development Enhance the City’s economic stability by investing in inclusive economic growth initiatives that develop and strengthen small businesses, employment and workforce development programs and improving access to job opportunities. Business Financial Assistance Programs Business Technical Assistance Job Training 3 Address Homelessness Assist individuals and families to gain stable housing after experiencing homelessness or a housing crisis by providing appropriate housing and service solutions grounded in best practices. Operation of emergency shelters Homeless prevention programs Homeless outreach Homeless services 4 Public Services Invest in community services that promote equity and serve vulnerable populations Services to low/moderate income: o Homeless o Veterans o Youth o Seniors o Victims of domestic violence o Special needs 5 Capital Improvement Infrastructure & Facilities Support the development of vibrant, equitable, and adaptable neighborhoods by investing in public facilities and infrastructure. CIPs Public Facilities All priorities are consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs: to provide decent housing, maintain a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents. These Priority Needs serve as the foundation for investment decisions in Chula Vista over the five-year period beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2030. Entitlement funds will be allocated annually through an Annual Action Plan, which directly aligns with these priorities. The first such Annual Action Plan is described below. 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan Resources HUD released the entitlement grant amounts on May 13, 2025. For the 2025–26 program year, Chula Vista will receive $2,346,364 in CDBG funds (adjusted for rounding), $206,837 in ESG funds, and $795,805 in HOME funds (also adjusted for rounding). These allocations are summarized in Table 3 below. Compared to the previous year, this represents a $7,063 decrease in CDBG funding, a $7,795 increase in HOME funding, and a $2,826 increase in ESG funding.

City staff advertised the NOFA in The Star News and El Latino newspapers, announced it at the February 4 Council public hearing, shared it at local meetings such as the Chula Vista Community Collaborative, and emailed it to all previously funded agencies and interested stakeholders. The NOFA was released on February 3, 2025, with a submission deadline of March 3, 2025. Housing staff reviewed all proposals to ensure compliance with program regulations and alignment with the City’s established goals and objectives. An executive summary was prepared for each application, outlining the requested funding amount, proposed use of funds, and anticipated community benefits. The federal grant funding recommendations for CDBG, HOME, and ESG are presented below. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) For Fiscal Year 2025–26, the City will utilize $2,346,364 in CDBG entitlement funds, along with $246,155 in unencumbered prior-year funds (i.e., funds originally allocated to projects completed under budget). All projects considered for funding must meet at least one of the three CDBG National Objectives: (1) primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons; (2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or (3) address urgent community needs arising from a declared emergency, such as a natural disaster. Projects are classified into three distinct categories: 1. Administration and Planning 2. Public Services 3. Capital Improvement Projects (“CIPs”) and Community Development Below is a summary of the funding recommendations under each respective category. 1. Administration/Planning Recommendations Funds in this category cover all City staff costs associated with the management and administration of the City’s CDBG program, including regulatory compliance, contract administration, subrecipient monitoring, and fiscal oversight. This also includes preparation of required planning documents, such as the Annual Action Plan, the Consolidated Plan, and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. As shown in Table 4, federal regulations limit administrative and planning expenditures to no more than 20% of the annual CDBG entitlement amount, which equates to a cap of $469,273 for Fiscal Year 2025– 26. Page 71 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 7 A portion of the City’s CDBG administrative allocation is designated for a contracted Fair Housing Provider. This year, for the second time, the City received multiple applications for this role. After thorough evaluation, staff recommends contracting with the Legal Aid Society of San Diego, which proposed enhanced staffing and service delivery. Table 4: 2025-2026 CDBG Administration Funding Applicant Program Recommended 1 Housing and Homeless Services Department CDBG Administration/Planning $404,273 2 Legal Aid Society of San Diego Fair Housing and Tenant/Landlord Services $65,000 Total $469,273 2. Public Services Program Recommendation Funds for Public Services activities are awarded to local agencies and community organizations to implement programs that support low-income residents, including seniors, individuals with disabilities, people at risk, and persons experiencing homelessness. Federal regulations cap Public Services funding at 15% of the annual CDBG entitlement, which totals $351,955 for Fiscal Year 2025–26. Staff’s funding recommendations are based on priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan, as well as on application evaluations using a tiered ranking system that categorizes programs by demonstrated community need. This system includes three tiers, with Tier I representing the highest need. The rankings are summarized in Table 5. Table 5: Public Services Community Need Ranking Tier I (highest) Tier II Tier III Emergency Needs: Programs that address basic, fundamental needs including shelter, food, and other commodities. Special Needs/Disabled: Programs that provide services to persons with disabilities, special needs, and who are at high-risk. Other General Services: All other services which do not fall within Tier I or II and provide general public services to low/moderate income persons. A total of seventeen public service applications were received and fourteen are recommended for funding. All recommended funding requests are previous grant recipients and are in good standing with the City and HUD. Applications that were not selected for funding were either ineligible according to program requirements, did not align with City funding goals, or will be funded using other City resources. Summarized in Table 6 are the list of applicants, program name, requested funding, and amount of recommended funding by staff.

Project Future $50,000 $30,000 Total $351,955 1The amount of funding recommended reflects previous allocations to this project. 3. CIPs and Community Development After funding is allocated for Public Services and Administration, a total of $1,771,292 remains available for eligible Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs), public facility improvements, and housing or economic development activities. This amount includes $246,155 in unencumbered prior-year CDBG funds. Of the available funds, the City has earmarked $695,903 for the annual Castle Park Infrastructure Section 108 loan payment, which has three years remaining of its 20-year term. This leaves $1,075,389 for new project allocations. To be eligible for CDBG funding in the CIP category, a project must be located in a primarily residential area designated as low- and moderate-income by the U.S. Census. Projects must not serve a regional function (e.g., serving the entire City or county). Funding priority is given to projects that demonstrate strong feasibility, measurable community benefit, and the ability to leverage additional funding sources. Relevance to the City of Chula Vista’s Critical Needs List and/or Pedestrian Master Plan is also considered in project evaluation. A total of five applications, plus the Section 108 loan repayment, are included in this category and are detailed in Table 7. These include: the Section 108 Loan payment, the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP), one capital project (Naples Street & Granjas), the BOOST program offered by Upwards (formerly WeeCare Inc.), and an allocation for housing acquisition and rehabilitation.

The project will install missing curbs, gutters, and sidewalks at various locations. Under CDBG regulations, CIP projects must serve areas in which at least 51% of residents are low- and moderate-income. A project map is included, showing the location and the HUD-designated Low/Moderate Income Census Tract (shaded in yellow). The BOOST Program, offered by Upwards (formerly WeeCare Inc.), supports micro-enterprise in- home daycare providers through personalized coaching and technical assistance. The program serves low-income business owners in Chula Vista, helping them strengthen their businesses and increase income, while also expanding access to local childcare options. BOOST directly aligns with the City’s 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan goals for economic development, including small business assistance and job creation. Upwards was previously funded during the 2024–2025 program year, has demonstrated strong understanding of CDBG compliance, and remains in good standing with HUD. The Community Housing Improvement Program has provided low-interest and forgivable loans to single-family and mobile homeowners for health and safety repairs since the 1970s. The program has supported over 1,250 households, helping residents remain in their homes as they age and maintain safe, livable conditions. Over the past two years, 13 homeowners have received loans, and another 10 are currently in process. CDBG funds are often used as gap financing or leveraging for larger housing projects, such as the acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable housing. Most recently, CDBG funds helped leverage other Figure 2: Naples Street and Granjas Road Project Page 74 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 10 sources to acquire the Palomar Motel, which is now being converted into Permanent Supportive Housing. Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Chula Vista will receive $206,837 in ESG entitlement funds for Fiscal Year 2025-26. ESG funds may be used to provide homelessness-related services in the following categories: 1. Homeless Prevention 2. Rapid Re-Housing (rental assistance) 3. Street Outreach 4. Emergency Shelter 5. Homeless Management Information Systems (“HMIS”) The City received one ESG proposal: an application from SBCS Corporation to support operations at the Casa Nueva Vida shelter. SBCS is a prior ESG recipient and remains in good standing with both the City and HUD. The remaining ESG funds will be allocated to Planning and Administration costs (7.5% of the entitlement, or $15,513) and to Homeless Prevention Services, as outlined in Table 8. The Homeless Prevention program will be administered by Housing staff and will take the form of a rental arrears program. This program has proven to be a critical tool for helping households remain stably housed during temporary income disruptions.

New construction 2. Acquisition 3. Rehabilitation 4. First-time homebuyer assistance 5. Tenant-based rental assistance For Fiscal Year 2025–26, the City will utilize its $795,805 HOME entitlement allocation to address housing priorities identified in the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan, as detailed in Table 9. Under HOME regulations, up to 10% of the annual allocation may be used for administrative costs ($79,581), and at least 15% ($119,371) must be reserved for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) to create affordable housing units. If not expended within federal timeframes, CHDO set-aside funds may be recaptured by HUD. For 2025–26, the City will allocate the required 15% to Production of Affordable Housing, to be awarded through a competitive Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) or Request for Proposal (RFP) process. At the April 15 public hearing during the Annual Action Plan comment period, staff noted that, due to a technical error, an application from SBCS Corporation for tenant-based rental assistance was not received in time and was not included in the draft plan. Since then, staff have worked with SBCS and identified $419,911 Page 75 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 11 in HOME funds for the SBCS TBRA program, now incorporated into the final plan.

This flexibility allows the City to strategically leverage CDBG funds with ESG and HOME resources to maximize the impact of federal investments in addressing the housing and service needs of low- and moderate-income residents. As housing costs continue to rise faster than income growth, affordability remains a growing challenge for many in the community. The City’s Housing and Homeless Services Department continues to pursue additional funding opportunities and partnerships to expand affordable housing through programs supported by HOME and other federal sources. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan and the 2025–26 Annual Action Plan funding recommendations and authorize the City Manager to execute all associated grant documents, as well as Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) and subrecipient agreements, in substantially the form presented in Attachments 2–5. Both plans were made available on the City’s federal grants webpage for the required 30-day public review period, which ran from April 1, 2025, through May 1, 2025, with no public comments received. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the Naples Street & Granjas Road CIP which is the subject of this action. It was determined that Mayor John McCann has real property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property located at 31 4th Avenue which is also subject of this action. Consequently, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 2, sections 18700 and 18702.2(a)(7), this item presents a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.) for the above-identified member. Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. Page 76 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 12 CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no current year fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund as a result of this action. All costs associated with the administration of the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs are covered by their respective federal grants and will be incurred in the next fiscal year. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There are no fiscal impacts to the General Fund as a result of this action. In the unlikely event that HUD withdraws funding for the City's CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs, the associated agreements/memorandum of understandings specify that the City will not be obligated to reimburse subrecipients or internal departments for related expenditures.

Introduction The Consolidated Plan is a five-year planning document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be submitted by all participating jurisdictions that receive HUD formula entitlement grant funds. It is designed to help grantees assess their affordable housing needs, community development needs, market conditions, and in turn make strategic investment decisions to meet those needs. It also includes the Annual Action Plan which serves as the City’s official application to HUD for the following federal resources: Community Development Block Grants (CDBG): CDBG is a flexible funding source that can be used for both housing and non-housing activities, including neighborhood revitalization, workforce and economic development, community and nonprofit facilities, and infrastructure and public services in low/moderate-income communities. The City anticipates approximately $12 million in CDBG funds for the Consolidated Plan period. HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME): HOME is used for building, acquiring, and rehabilitating affordable housing for rent and homeownership. It may also be used for direct rental assistance to low/moderate-income residents. The City anticipates approximately $3.5 million in HOME funds for the Consolidated Plan period. Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG): ESG funds programs and services supporting homeless individuals and families. This includes operating shelters, providing essential services to shelter residents, offering Rapid Rehousing, and preventing homelessness. The City anticipates approximately $1 million in ESG funds for the Consolidated Plan period. Annual Action Plans (one for each of the five years covered by the Consolidated Plan) provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan. Grantees report on accomplishments and progress toward Consolidated Plan goals in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) required to be submitted to HUD annually. The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans (one for each of the five years covered by the Consolidated Plan) which provide a summary of the actions, activities, and the specific resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan. Grantees then report on annual and cumulative accomplishments and progress toward meeting the identified Consolidated Plan goals in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), which is required to be submitted to HUD annually 90 days after the fiscal year ends. As the City’s fiscal year ends June 30th, the CAPER is due to HUD on or around September 28th. Page 85 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda Consolidated Plan CHULA VISTA 6 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) As an entitlement jurisdiction, the City must submit the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, as required by HUD, by the due date of “no less than 45 days prior to the start of the grantee's program year start date”. As Chula Vista’s fiscal year begins July 1st, this means the Consolidated Plan and each subsequent Annual Action Plan is due to HUD on or around May 15th each year. 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The Consolidated Plan contains a Needs Assessment and Market Analysis that provide insight into the different levels of need within the community and the market in which grant-funded programs will be implemented. The Needs Assessment incorporates national data from the American Community Survey ACS) 5-Year Estimates and Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, in addition to specific local data. Based on this data and input from citizen participation, the Strategic Plan identifies the City’s priority needs, including the rationale for establishing allocation priorities and specific measurable goals to be addressed during the five-year period. Regulations governing the CDBG program require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet one of the following three broad national objectives: 1) Benefit people with low- and moderate- incomes; 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; 3) Meet an urgent need (such as earthquake, flood, or hurricane relief). Additionally, activities funded must also meet one of HUD’s eligible use categories. According to HUD’s Consolidated Plan Final Rule, the overall goal of community planning and development programs is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities principally for low- and moderate-income persons as follows: Outcomes and Objectives Decent Housing (DH): includes assisting homeless persons to obtain appropriate housing and assisting persons at risk of becoming homeless; retention of the affordable housing stock; and increasing the availability of permanent housing in standard condition and affordable cost to low/moderate-income families, particularly to members of disadvantaged minorities, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. Decent housing also includes increasing the supply of supportive housing, which combines structural features and services needed to enable persons with special needs, including persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, to live with dignity and independence; and providing housing affordable to low/moderate-income persons accessible to job opportunities. A Suitable Living Environment (SL): includes improving the safety and livability of neighborhoods; increasing access to quality public and private facilities and services; reducing the isolation of income groups within a community or geographical area through the spatial de- concentration of housing opportunities for persons of lower-income and the revitalization of Page 86 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda Consolidated Plan CHULA VISTA 7 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) deteriorating or deteriorated neighborhoods; restoring and preserving properties of special historic, architectural, or aesthetic value; and conservation of energy resources. Expanded Economic Opportunities (EO): includes job creation and retention; establishment, stabilization and expansion of small businesses (including micro-businesses); the provision of public services concerned with employment; the provision of jobs involved in carrying out activities under programs covered by this plan to low/moderate-income persons living in areas affected by those programs and activities; availability of mortgage financing for low/moderate- income persons at reasonable rates using nondiscriminatory lending practices; access to capital and credit for development activities that promote the long-term economic and social viability of the community; and empowerment and self-sufficiency opportunities for low/moderate- income persons to reduce generational poverty in federally assisted and public housing. In addition to meeting one of the General Objective Categories above, HUD requires that project activities funded with entitlement funds also meet one of the following General Outcome Categories: Availability/Accessibility (1), Affordability (2), or Sustainability (3). Each activity funded will thus have a combination of the Objective and Outcome Category listed in the description (i.e. DH-2 would be Decent Housing that is Affordable), which allows for measuring of accomplishments for each of the Consolidated Plan's five years. FY 2025-2029 Priorities The needs identified in this Consolidated Plan focus on housing, homelessness prevention and response, economic development, public services, and public facilities and infrastructure. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated needs already existing within the community and will also be addressed during the first few years of the plan. Specifically, during the development of the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the following six (6) priorities, all of which were established as a High Priority Need: Priority 1: Affordable Housing (DH-2) [High Need]- Promote, preserve, and assist in the development of affordable housing for low/moderate-income residents, special needs groups, those at-risk of homelessness, and disproportionately impacted residents. The quantifiable five- year goal is to assist 500 households (100 households annually). Priority 2: Infrastructure and Facilities (SL-1) [High Need]- Improve and expand infrastructure and facilities that benefit primarily residential low/moderate-income neighborhoods. The quantifiable five- year goal is to improve 10 public facilities/infrastructure projects to benefit 5,000 low/moderate-income income residents in the eligible areas (2 projects/1,000 annually). Priority 3: Public Services (SL-1) [High Need]- Provide and improve access to public services for low/moderate-income persons and those with special needs. Public Services will be funded based on applications received for a variety of services, including, but not limited to: Senior Services, Disabled Services, Youth Services, General Public Services, Homeless Facilities/ Supportive Services, Victims of Domestic Violence Services, Abused and Neglected Children, Foster Youth, Illiterate Adults, and other Page 87 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda Consolidated Plan CHULA VISTA 8 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) special needs. The quantifiable five- year goal is to serve 5,000 people (1,000 people annually). Priority 4: Economic Development (EO-1) [High Need]- Provide for the economic development needs of low/moderate-income persons and neighborhood target areas. The quantifiable five- year goal is to assist 5 businesses (1 business annually) and create/retain 50 jobs (10 annually). Priority 5: Administration and Planning (SL-1) [High Need]- Provide for administration and planning activities to develop housing and community development strategies and programs needed to carry out actions that address identified needs in the Consolidated Plan in accordance with HUD regulations and provide Fair Housing services for all residents. The quantifiable five- year goal is to assist 600 households 120 households annually). Priority 6: Address Homelessness (SL-1) [High Need]- Provide for programs to address the needs of the homeless population. The quantifiable five- year goal is to assist 600 households (120 households annually). 3. Evaluation of past performance The City’s CDBG funded programs implemented over the last two Consolidated Plan Cycles have aided in solving neighborhood and community problems by providing a funding source for underserved needs. Specifically, the Capital Improvement Projects have given low- income neighborhoods an improved infrastructure system; public services have helped the City's elderly, youth, homeless, at-risk, victims of domestic violence, and other special needs groups; residents have benefitted from Fair Housing and Tenant/Landlord Counseling Services; residents have been provided affordable housing through construction of new housing units and down payment assistance; the housing stock has been sustained through rehabilitation of housing units/lead-based paint testing and abatement, and code enforcement; and emergency shelter and supportive services have been provided to homeless persons/families and/or those at risk of becoming homeless. All of these projects and experiences have helped guide the City in choosing the goals and projects for the new Consolidated Plan Cycle. The City will continue the priorities and projects from the previous Consolidated Plan, as there are still unmet needs due to the limited amount of grant funds received each year. It is anticipated that funding received in the next five years will not be sufficient to complete the remaining infrastructure projects needed within the low/moderate-income areas identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Moreover, affordable housing, public services, fair housing and administration are still High priority needs in the community and will therefore receive continued funding. As economic development has somewhat more restrictive regulations attached to it, it will be included in the Consolidated Plan as a High priority need, but it may not be funded with CDBG funds during this cycle. Instead, the City will seek to fund economic development using leveraged resources and will consider CDBG funding should funds become available. 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process Page 88 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda Consolidated Plan CHULA VISTA 9 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) In accordance with the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan, the City facilitated citizen participation through surveys, community meetings and public hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low/moderate-income persons, particularly those living in slum and blighted areas and in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low/moderate- income neighborhoods. The City also made efforts to encourage the participation of minorities and non- English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. The consultation process with various stakeholders in the community include representatives of the Continuum of Care (CoC), the local Public Housing Authority (PHA), and other specified groups who completed surveys, provided local data, and assisted the City to ensure strategies were coordinated to maximize impact and avoid duplication of efforts. A Community Needs Survey was conducted to solicit input from residents, business owners and providers in the City of Chula Vista. Respondents were informed that the City was updating the Consolidated Plan for federal funds that primarily serve low- to moderate-income residents and areas. The survey polled respondents about the housing and community development needs in their community for various types of improvements that can potentially be addressed using entitlement funds. A total of 169 survey responses were collected in English and in Spanish. Consolidated Plan Community Input Meetings were conducted to introduce the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan and federal programs, and to solicit input on the level of need for various types of improvements that can potentially be addressed by the Consolidated Plan. Four Community Input Meetings were held with one occurring in each city council district and sought to obtain broad input from the City’s diverse communities. To promote attendance at the forums, targeted social media posts were implemented to reach a broader audience as well as press releases promoted the events. Additionally, two City Council Public hearings were held. More than 50 individuals participated in the forums and provided feedback on what they considered as the housing, economic, and community development priorities within the City. 01/14/25: Chula Vista Community Collaborative Announcement 01/16/25: District 3 Community Input Meeting 01/27/25: District 1 Community Input Meeting 01/30/25: District 2 Community Input Meeting 02/03/25: District 4 Community Input Meeting 02/04/25: CV Public Hearing 02/24/25: City Economic Development Department Consultation 02/24/25: Housing and Homelessness Advisory Commission Meeting 02/26/25: City Engineering & Public Works Departments Consultation 04/15/25: CV Public Hearing Further description of the consultation and citizen participation efforts can be found in Sections PR-10, PR-15, and Appendices C through F.

Summary The City’s Consolidated Plan process examined several data sources including the 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates, the 2016-2020 and Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, local data, and consultation with citizens and stakeholders. The process resulted in establishing seven (7) priority needs to be addressed through the investment of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds over the five-year period of the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. Activities submitted for consideration in response to any solicitation or Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) process must conform with one of the five (5) Strategic Plan priorities and related measurable goals/outcome indicators in order to receive consideration for inclusion in any of the five (5) annual action plans. During the course of the next five years the City anticipates receiving approximately $12,000,000 of CDBG funds, $3,500,000 of HOME funds, and $1,000,000 of ESG funds per year to undertake the following activities to meet the priorities and corresponding goals of the Consolidated Plan, all of which were determined to be a High Priority needs level. In the first year, the following will be dedicated to meeting the needs: Page 90 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda Consolidated Plan CHULA VISTA 11 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Administration $469,273 Public Services $351,955 Capital Improvement/Community Development Projects $1,771,292 Affordable Housing (HOME) $795,805 Emergency Shelter/Homeless Prevention (ESG) $206,837 The Process PR-05 Lead & Responsible Agencies 24 CFR 91.200(b) Describe agency/entity responsible for preparing the Consolidated Plan and those responsible for administration of each grant program and funding source.

Introduction As part of the Consolidated Plan Process, jurisdictions must consult and coordinate with continuum of care and appropriate public and private agencies, such as the State and other local jurisdictions; public and private agencies that provide assisted housing, health services, social and fair housing services including services to children, elderly persons, homeless persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, homeless persons, and other categories of residents), and among its own departments, to assure that its consolidated plan is a comprehensive document and addresses statutory purposes. In the process of developing the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with community members and representatives from a number of local organizations providing housing and services to low- and moderate-income households. In addition to public meetings, a survey containing the City’s funding goals and objectives was distributed. Many of the social service providers noted a continued need for funding sources for additional social services and public service programs; however, no more than 15% of a CDBG award may be used for funding public services. Throughout the year, Chula Vista staff meets with other representatives of various non-profit, public, and private agencies that serve the needs of the homeless, persons at risk of homelessness, persons with mental health conditions, the disabled, and other low- to moderate-income persons. To facilitate this consultation during the Consolidated Planning Process, the City solicited feedback through the following methods: Stakeholder surveys (web-based and paper-surveys) Individual stakeholder consultations Community meetings Public hearings Receipt of written comments The input gathered from these consultation partners helped establish the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan and further detail can be found in Table 2 below. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies 91.215(I)) The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of their programs. As a result, during the development of this Page 92 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 13 Consolidated Plan, the City consulted closely with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community-focused agencies, as shown in Table 2 below. The City of Chula Vista also participates in several working groups that are comprised of public/private agencies to enhance regional coordination on a variety of issues in San Diego County. These groups include the San Diego Regional Continuum of Care Council (RCCC), San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing (SD RAFFH), San Diego Association of Government’s (SANDAG’s) Regional Planning Technical Group, SANDAG’s Regional Housing Working Group, SANDAG’s Cities/Counties Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC), South County Economic Development Council, San Diego Housing Federation, and San Diego County’s CDBG Coordinator’s Group. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness A Continuum of Care (CoC) is an integrated system of care that guides and tracks homeless individuals and families through a comprehensive array of housing and services designed to prevent and end homelessness. A CoC must have community plan to organize and deliver housing and services to meet the specific needs of people who are homeless as they move to stable housing and maximize self- sufficiency. That plan should include action steps to end homelessness and prevent a return to homelessness. HUD identifies four necessary parts of a continuum: 1. Outreach, intake and assessment 2. Emergency shelter 3. Transitional housing with supportive services 4. Permanent & permanent supportive housing with services if needed Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS As stated above, the City coordinates with the San Diego Regional Continuum of Care Council and other public and private organizations within the Continuum of Care that serve Chula Vista. Staff from various departments will continue to work together with the COC to develop performance standards that provide a measure to evaluate each ESG subrecipients effectiveness, such as how well the service provider succeeded at 1) targeting those who need the assistance most; 2) reducing the number of people living on the streets or emergency shelters; 3) shortening the time people spend homeless; and 4) reducing each program participant’s housing barriers or housing stability risks. These performance standards will be incorporated into the City’s Subrecipient Agreements, and to the extent possible, will be tracked and measured in HMIS.

Table 3 – Other local / regional / federal planning efforts Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(l)) The City attempts to maintain a current and comprehensive list of agencies, organizations, and other stakeholders to invite representatives from each entity to participate in the planning process at multiple points in the planning process. As shown in Table 2, the City consulted with approximately 8 different organizations. Given the amount of time needed to consult additional agencies and organizations and the limited number of staff and resources available, several agencies may not have been consulted that would have provided valuable information; however, the number and types of agencies contacted represent a relevant spectrum of detail related to the City’s needs. Moreover, the City provides several opportunities for consultation throughout each fiscal year that would allow for additional input. Table 3 above illustrates the City’s efforts considering Other local / regional / federal planning efforts. Narrative (optional): In the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City afforded the above-mentioned public entities with the opportunity to provide input on the Consolidated Plan and welcomed their input concerning the future implementation of projects to address the City’s Strategic Plan goals.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation. Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal setting. In the development of the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the City developed and implemented a comprehensive citizen participation and consultation process and conducted needs assessment and market analysis to identify levels of relative need regarding affordable housing, homelessness, special needs, and community development. This information was gathered through consultation with public officials and local agencies, public outreach, community meetings, review of demographic and economic data, and housing market analysis. The City’s Citizen Participation Plan, which can be found in Appendix C, provides for a variety of efforts to broaden public participation in the development of the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan and various other aspects of the overall Program. Several opportunities for input were available, which are described in Table 4 below. Further details of these efforts can be found in Appendix D. The process implemented by the City impacted goal setting as it incorporated citizen input at various stages throughout the development of the plan. Specifically, the Community Development Needs Survey results were tabulated and weighted in order to assign High, Medium, Low, or No Such Needs to the various activity categories. All comments were also reviewed by staff to ensure the needs assessment and strategic plan incorporated those comments as appropriate. The outreach materials, survey, and results can be found in Appendix E, while the proof of publications pertaining to the public notices can be found in Appendix F. At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low- and moderate-income residents, members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved.

Table 4 – Citizen Participation Outreach Page 104 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 25 Needs Assessment NA-05 Overview Needs Assessment Overview The Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan identifies the City’s needs as they relate to housing, homelessness, community development, and special needs populations. The housing needs assessment section evaluates household income, tenure (renter or owner), housing cost as a function of household income, disproportionate needs amongst racial and ethnic groups, and public housing needs. The homeless needs assessment examines the sheltered and unsheltered homeless population in San Diego County to inform the City’s strategy to address homelessness during the next five years. The non- homeless special needs assessment section evaluates the needs of people who are not homeless, but due to various reasons are in need of services including but not limited to: elderly, frail elderly, severely mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence. The non-housing community development needs assessment section discusses the need for public facilities, public infrastructure improvements, and public services to benefit low- and moderate-income residents. From this Needs Assessment, the City will identify those needs with the highest priority, which will form the basis for the Strategic Plan and the programs and projects to be administered during the five-year Consolidated Plan for FY 2025-2029. Information contained in the assessment is gathered through data analysis, consultations, and citizen participation. To assess community needs, the City examined data, held community meetings, conducted a Community Needs Survey, and consulted with local stakeholders. The Needs Assessment primarily relies on the following sources of data: American Community Survey (ACS) (2016-2020 current year estimates) Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS data 2016-2020) 2025 Point- in- Time Homeless Count The California Association of Realtors (CAR) website was accessed to obtain information on current market trends and affordability The Housing Element and Development Codes were reviewed to provide insight on zoning and land use policies and units at risk of conversion Previous Consolidated Plans and other Community Strategic Plans were used to provide supporting data on demographics, City programs, needs, and strategies Various data requests were sent to County level staff from the Department of Health and Human Services and Housing Authority Page 105 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 26 NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a, b, c) Summary of Housing Needs The following section describes the estimated housing needs projected for the next five-year period for the following categories of persons: extremely low-income, low-income, moderate-income, and middle income families, renters and owners, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, including persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, single persons, large families, public housing residents, victims of domestic violence, families on the public housing and section 8 tenant-based waiting list, and discuss specific housing problems, including: cost burden, severe cost-burden, substandard housing, and overcrowding especially large families).To the extent that any racial or ethnic group has a disproportionately greater need for any income category in comparison to the needs of that category as a whole, an assessment of that specific need is completed. Disproportionately greater need exists when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group is at least ten percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in the category as a whole. Table 5 below illustrates the percentage change for population, households and median income since the last Census. Demographics Base Year: 2009 Most Recent Year: 2020 % Change Population 257,300 268,780 4% Households 78,065 79,485 2% Median Income $65,185 $86,132 32% Table 5 - Housing Needs Assessment Demographics Data Source: 2000 Census (Base Year), 2016-2020 ACS (Most Recent Year) Population Growth Since the last Consolidated Plan, the City’s population increased by 4 percent from 257,300 to 268,780 11,480 people); the number of households increased by 2 percent from 78,065 to 79,485 (1,420 households); and the Median Income increased 32 percent from $65,185 to $86,132 ($20,947). The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) has forecasted that the City of Chula Vista’s population will increase by approximately 17 percent, while housing units and households will each increase by about 30 percent by 2050. The current growth trend is substantially slower than during the last Consolidated Plan. Race and Ethnicity It is important that the City considers the racial and ethnic composition of residents when planning for housing and community development needs, including fair housing. The City’s current Racial/Ethnic composition is mostly Hispanic (60 percent), White (17 percent), and Asian (16 percent). This differs from the County, where percentages are 34 percent Hispanic, 45 percent White, and 13 percent Asian. Page 106 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 27 Racial/Minority Concentration HUD typically defines a minority concentration as any tract where the neighborhood’s total percentage of minority persons is at least 20 percentage points higher than the total percentage of all minorities for the MSA as a whole. However, some sources have defined concentration as twice the percentage of the County or ten percentage points more than the citywide proportion. Figure 2 below shows racial/minority concentrations in the City that are greater than the County percentage of 54.2 percent. As shown in the Figure 2 map, ethnic concentrations exist in most of the City, with high concentrations in only a few tracts. The areas of ethnic concentrations are also tracts with concentrations of low-and moderate-income and housing problems. These concentrations indicate that while the City is diverse, housing patterns have developed which may need to be considered when addressing housing needs and fair housing planning.

Small Family Households consist of 2-4 family members, while large family households have more than 5 persons per household. The household characteristics of a community are important indicators of both current and future housing needs. According to the data, the following are characteristics of the household types in Chula Vista: Small Families make up most households representing 41,400 households (52 percent). Large families represent 16 percent of the households with 12,810 households. Page 107 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 28 An additional 18,510 households contained one or more elderly (person 62-74 years of age) and 9,000 contained one or more frail elderly (person 75 years of age or older). This indicates that approximately 30 percent of households contain an elderly person. Approximately 14,743 households have one or more children under age six, representing about 19 percent of the total households. Approximately 37,120 households (47 percent) earn less than 80 percent of the HAMFI. This data is relatively the same as during the last Consolidated Plan, where it was reported that approximately 36,630 households earned less than 80 percent of the HAMFI. Thus, there are an additional 490 households in need for the current planning period. Age Characteristics Age characteristics of a community are important indicators of both current and future housing needs. For example, a large elderly population may indicate a need for affordable senior housing units in the current market, while a large middle-aged population may indicate a need for such housing type in the future. Per Census data, the median age in Chula Vista is 37.8, and seniors over age 65 represent 14.2 percent of the population. There are an additional 35,856 (thirteen percent) in the 50-59 age category who will be eligible for senior housing in the next few years. Thus, as the population appears to be aging and the need for affordable senior housing will be greater than other groups in the near future. Additionally, youth make up a significant portion of the population representing 24.4 percent of the population reported as being under 18. In comparison, San Diego County reported a median age of 37, while youth made up 20.6percent and seniors represented 16 percent Household Type by Income Level Household income is an important consideration when evaluating housing and community development needs because low-income typically constrains people’s ability to procure adequate housing or services. Census data reported median household income for Chula Vista as $105,173compared to $102,285in San Diego County. For planning and resource allocation purposes of federal programs, households are typically grouped into the following categories in relation to the different HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI) levels corresponding with HUD income definitions as follows.

The report further states that two types of priority problems determine whether households have worst case needs: 1) Severe rent burden- a renter household is paying more than one-half of its income for gross rent (rent and utilities) and 2) Severely inadequate housing refers to units having one or more serious physical problems related to heating, plumbing, and electrical systems or maintenance. As related to Tables 7 and 8, HUD defines four (4) different housing problems as: 1) Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or stove, or a refrigerator. 2) Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet and a bathtub or shower. 3) Overcrowding / severe overcrowding: A household is considered to be overcrowded if there are more than 1.01 people per room. A household is considered severely overcrowded if there are more than 1.5 people per room. Page 110 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 31 4) Cost burden / severe cost burden: A household is considered cost burdened if the household pays more than 30 percent of its total gross income for housing costs. A household is considered severely cost burdened if the household pays more than 50 percent of its total income for housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities. Housing Problem Assessment Continued Based on the data above in Table 7, the following housing problems exist in Chula Vista: 139 households are living in Substandard Housing - Lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, all of which are renters. 2,215 households are Severely Overcrowded - With >1.51 people per room (and complete kitchen and plumbing), the majority of which are renters. 3,880 households are Overcrowded - With 1.01-1.5 people per room (and none of the above problems), majority of which are renters. 13,345 households experience Housing cost burden greater than 50% of income (and none of the above problems), with both renters and owners experiencing. 12,180 households experience Housing cost burden greater than 30% of income (and none of the above problems), with both renters and owners experiencing. 650 households have zero/negative Income (and none of the above problems). In addition to renters being more impacted than owners, data in Table 8 above also illustrate that low and moderate-income households are disproportionately impacted by housing problems, compared to those earning higher income; thus, there is a high need for housing assistance targeted at 27,429 households earning at or below 80 percent of AMI experiencing housing problems. Those with worst- case housing needs are identified in the current plan as: 55 extremely- low-income and 30 very-low-income renter-households in substandard housing 4,760 extremely- low-income and 2,605 very-low-income renter-households paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs.

As shown in Table 8, renters are more impacted than owners with one or more housing problems 12,875 Renters compared to 6,710 Owners). Moreover, low- and moderate-income households are disproportionately impacted by housing problems as 96 percent of renters and 97 percent of owners with a problem earned less than 88 percent HAMFI. Specifically, there are 12,435 low- and moderate- income renters and 5,915 low- and moderate- income owners with one or more housing problems. Thus, as stated, there is still a high need for housing assistance to address affordability, overcrowding, and substandard housing.

In fact, a large portion, (31 percent) of the City’s total households are low- and moderate-income cost burdened households. Small families appear overrepresented as nearly 50 percent of all small families are cost burdened. This is especially important based on the increased costs other than housing that these families incur.

Overcrowding rates also vary significantly by income, type, and size of household. Generally, low- and moderate-income households and large families experience a disproportionate share of overcrowding. Renter households show a much higher rate of overcrowding than owner households with single family rental households accounting for 65 percent of the total low- and moderate-income households being overcrowded.

Per the 2023 ACS data, there are 5,524male households with no spouse or partner present and 14,409 female headed households with no spouse or partner present. Of14,701 households living alone, 6,877 were 65 and older (46.8 percent). Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. Disabled: According to the 2023 ACS Data, approximately 27,159Chula Vista residents (10.1 percent of the population) have a disability. Of the non-institutionalized population with a disability over 16, only 26 percent is employed. Of the population over 25 with a disability, 25.7 percent have less than a high school graduate education and median earnings are slightly less than the rest of the population at 29,718 compared to $4,809. Of those with a disability the majority are Hispanic and White (similar to the overall demographics of the city), 2,579 are under the age of 18, and 4,870 are elderly/7,737 are frail elderly. Disability types were reported as follows: 7,413 have a hearing impairment, 4,890 have a vision impairment, 9,985 have cognitive difficulty, 13,230 have ambulatory disability, 6,087 have a self-care limitation, and 11,415 have an independent living limitation. Victims of Domestic Violence: Domestic Violence (DV) is one of the top crimes in the City of Chula Vista. It is among the top ten most common types of police call for service. In 2024, there were 2,613 calls for service for domestic violence. Assuming each of the crime calls referenced is an unduplicated household, it is likely that as many as 2,613 households in Chula Vista may need to relocate, possibly with minor children and may require temporary housing assistance. According to the City’s last CAPER, the South Bay Community Services Family Violence Program assisted 996 victims of domestic violence, which indicates that many victims may not be seeking help and/or there may be a barrier to obtaining legal help. Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking: According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) In the United States, over half of women and almost one in three men have experienced sexual violence involving physical contact during their lifetimes. One in four women and about one in 26 men have experienced completed or attempted rape. In 2024, the Chula Vista Police Department reported 68 rapes in the City. Applying an estimated ratio of 19 percent of women experiencing these problems to the population of females over age 15 in the City (109,468), approximately 20,798.92residents could have a need for services Page 115 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 36 What are the most common housing problems? The cost of housing is directly related to the extent of housing problems in a community. If housing costs are relatively high in comparison to household income, there will be a correspondingly higher prevalence of overpayment and overcrowding, as is the case in Chula Vista. The most common housing problem in the City is cost burden. This problem primarily affects renter households earning 0-30 percent of AMI and who pay 50 percent of their income for rent and utilities, as well as for homeowner households earning between 30-80 percent of AMI who experience a cost burden or severe cost burden. Per the CHAS data: 9,920 households experience Housing cost burden greater than 50% of income (and none of the 24,930households experience Housing cost burden greater than 30% of income (and none of the above problems), with both renters and owners experiencing. The second most common housing problem in the City is overcrowding, where the CHAS data shows 6,129 households are Overcrowded with 1.01-1.5 people per room (and none of the other problems). Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Low- and moderate-income households are disproportionately impacted by housing problems, compared to those earning higher income; thus, there is a high need for housing assistance targeted at the 37,120households earning at or below 80 percent of HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI) experiencing housing problems. In addition, special needs groups like victims of domestic violence, the disabled, and those at risk of homelessness are more affected by these problems, as they tend to need supportive services in addition to affordable housing. Given the fixed incomes of many elderly and disabled coupled with increased health care and housing costs generally affecting these types of households, the impact may be severe. Single parents are affected as they have only one income to support two or more people in the household. Victims of domestic violence are often severely impacted by these problems as well, as their incomes may drastically change if they have to leave their job for safety and lose a partner, whom they may be sharing expenses with. Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance Families with incomes below the poverty level, typically those households with extremely- low and very low- incomes, are at greatest risk of becoming homeless and typically require special programs to assist them in meeting their rent and mortgage obligations to prevent homelessness. The Census estimated 6 Page 116 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 37 percent of the residents in Chula Vista as living in poverty. In comparison, the County of San Diego had 10.1 percent. Those with a disability in Chula Vista experience poverty at 14.6percent. These households need assistance with housing subsidies, utility and other living expense subsidies, as well as other supportive services. Single-parent households, particularly female-headed families with children, often require special consideration and assistance as a result of their greater need for affordable housing, accessible day care, health care, and other supportive services. Because of their relatively lower- incomes and higher living expenses, single-parent households usually have more limited options for affordable, decent, and safe housing. As a result, single parents are considered to be among the most at- risk groups facing poverty and would be at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered. There are approximately 1,190 male householders with no wife present and own children under 18, plus 5,520 female householders with no husband present and own children under 18, and 2,710 grandparents responsible for their own grandchildren under 18. Rapid re-housing is a solution to homelessness designed to help individuals and families to quickly exit homelessness and return to permanent housing. It is offered without preconditions (such as employment, income, absence of criminal record, or sobriety) and the resources and services provided are typically tailored to the unique needs of the household. Formerly homeless families and individuals who receive rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing termination of that assistance are similarly at risk of homelessness, if the socioeconomic conditions that contributed to the original incidence of homelessness have not been adequately addressed, as they will be faced with providing for their household without assistance. To increase the likelihood that recipients of rapid re-housing assistance are able to remain housed, the provision of case management services that connect assisted households with mainstream resources and employment opportunities is essential. If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates: Many extremely- low and low-income households are considered at risk of becoming homeless because they often overpay for housing and would likely lose their homes if they were to become unemployed. Victims of domestic violence, persons with HIV/AIDS, youth recently released from the foster system, parolees, and other persons released from medical facilities may also be considered at risk. HUD has provided criteria for the definition of At-Risk of Homelessness based on the Emergency Solutions Grants program rule. This definition allows certain groups to qualify as at-risk of homelessness under three categories, including: 1) individuals and families; 2) unaccompanied children and youth; and 3) families with children and youth. Federal agencies typically define those who are at risk of homelessness as individuals and families who: 1) Have an annual income below 30 percent of median family income for the area, as determined by HUD, and 2) Do not have sufficient resources or support networks, immediately available to prevent them from moving to an emergency shelter or place not meant for habitation, and 3) Exhibit one or more risk factors of homelessness, including recent housing instability or exiting a publicly funded institution or system of care such as foster care or a mental health facility The assessment of at-risk populations is based on ACS and CHAS data in the Consolidated Plan using Page 117 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 38 HUD definitions for household types and housing problems. Given the extensive research needed to accurately estimate the at-risk based on the above criteria, the City has chosen only to quantify those at risk of homelessness as the 16,353 (6 percent) the population that were living below the poverty level. It can be presumed that any of the sub-populations described above would be included in this group. Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness Per the Office of The Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), who advises the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, there are five different housing conditions that contribute to the definition of housing instability: (1) high housing costs, (2) poor housing quality, (3) unstable neighborhoods, (4) overcrowding, and (5) homelessness. 1) High housing costs refers to housing that takes up more than thirty percent of a household's gross monthly income. Since poor families must pay higher proportions of their income on rent, high housing costs disproportionately affect this population (Housing Assistance Council 1997). 2) Poor housing quality refers to housing that lacks complete plumbing or a kitchen, has inadequate heating, has inadequate electricity, or has upkeep problems" (such as leaks, holes, or peeling paint) (Housing Assistance Council 1997). 3) Unstable neighborhoods are those characterized by conditions such as poverty, crime, and lack of job opportunities. Most subsidized housing is located in neighborhoods with these characteristics (Brandon 1995). Other problems that characterize unstable neighborhoods include noise, traffic, litter, poor or very limited city services, and undesirable neighbors (Newman and Schnare 1993). 4) Overcrowding refers to more than one person living in a room (Housing Assistance Council 1997). Overcrowding is often the result of high housing costs or the lack of housing assistance. 5) Homelessness refers to the lack of a fixed, regular, and adequate night-time residence. The City of Chula Vista struggles with these conditions and therefore has a high need to address these issues. Housing instability itself, which can be broadly defined as falling behind on rent, moving frequently, or experiencing a period of homelessness, is associated with enormous health consequences: poorer self-reported health and more frequent hospitalizations for both parents and children, which means more need for services. Housing instability can cause a continued reliance or return to public assistance. Welfare agencies have begun to address several issues related to housing instability that can impede a successful transition from welfare to work: the financial burden of meeting the cost of housing and limited housing options in areas near job opportunities or served by local transit systems. Left unaddressed, welfare clients' successful transition to economic self-sufficiency is jeopardized by these issues. Self-sufficiency, if attained, is often temporary in the face of such obstacles. If agencies are to successfully support clients, they must consider approaches to dealing with a range of housing barriers to employment caused by unstable housing conditions as well. Page 118 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 39 Discussion Homelessness and poverty go hand in hand; people experiencing poverty are frequently unable to pay for housing, food, childcare, health care, and other basic necessities. Lower-income families, especially those earning extremely low- income (those earning less than 30 percent of the median), are considered to be at- risk of becoming homeless. These families are often living below the poverty level and are generally experiencing a housing cost burden, paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. In more severe cases, some families pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Households paying a greater portion of their income for housing are at a higher risk of becoming homeless due to financial setbacks and a lack of savings, created as a direct result of their housing cost burden. As discussed earlier, there are approximately 1,315 extremely- low-income and 1,595 very-low-income renter-households paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs, plus 50 extremely- low- income and 4 very-low-income renter-households in substandard housing who are currently housed, but who may be at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered. These are the households with the worst-case housing needs. For those with special needs, care facilities are one way to serve the needs of the disabled. According to the State Community Care Licensing Division, within the City there are licensed adult day care facilities, adult residential care facilities, residential care facilities for the elderly and small family homes. Given the limited capacity of the above-mentioned and the aging population who tend to develop disabilities as they age, additional facilities are likely to be needed. The disabled population may also need fair housing services, as disability discrimination is generally on the rise in California and denial of reasonable accommodation is prevalent. NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has a disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole. Introduction A disproportionate need exists when members of a racial/ethnic group experience housing problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than the proportion of the jurisdiction/income level as a whole. The following section assesses the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole for the population of low- and moderate-income households. The four housing problems are: 1) Lacks complete kitchen facilities; 2) Lacks complete plumbing facilities; 3) More than one person per room; and/or 4) Cost Burden greater than 30%.

Discussion Typically, as income increases, the number of housing problems decreases for the overall jurisdiction. When looking at the maps in Figures 1 through 4 and jurisdiction as a whole, lower income is concentrated in the western half of the City; however, when looking at housing problems by income, concentration patterns move towards the eastern section of the City, which is where the newer developments are located. NA-20 Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has a disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole. Introduction A disproportionate need exists when members of a racial/ethnic group experience severe housing problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than the proportion of the jurisdiction/income level as a whole. The following section assesses the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole for the population of low- and moderate-income households.

Cost Burden over 50% Moderate- Income Disproportionate Need As shown in Table 20, there are approximately 1,235 moderate-income households with one or more housing problems, which represents about 13.55 percent of the households in this income group. Discussion Typically, as income increases, the number of severe housing problems decreases for the overall jurisdiction. Based on the analysis above, there is a disproportionate greater need for black households, as 27 percent of black households in Chula Vista have one or more housing problems. The highest percentage of any racial/ethnic group. NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has a disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole. Introduction: HUD defines cost burden as the extent to which gross housing costs, including utility costs, exceed 30 percent of a given household’s gross income. A household is considered severely cost burdened if gross housing costs, including utility costs, exceed 50 percent of a household’s gross income. A disproportionate need exists when members of a racial/ethnic group experience cost burden problems Page 125 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 46 at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than the proportion of the jurisdiction/income level as a whole. The following section assesses the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole for the population of low and moderate-income households. Housing Cost Burden Housing Cost Burden <=30% 30-50% >50% No / negative income (not computed) Jurisdiction as a whole 47,175 16,510 15,130 675 White 13,525 3,255 2,645 240 Black / African American 2,135 1,075 1,795 0 Asian 7,135 2,000 1,380 75 American Indian, Alaska Native 35 85 15 0 Pacific Islander 145 20 55 0 Hispanic 23,245 9,695 8,915 360 Table 21 – Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens AMI Data Source: 2016-2020 CHAS Cost Burden by Race/Ethnicity and Income Table 21 shows that that the majority of households experiencing overpayment/housing cost burden earn less than 50 percent of the median income (80 percent), which is similar for all races except American Indian/Alaska Native, 89 percent of whom earn under 50 percent of the AMI, though they only represent 135 households. As a jurisdiction, households that experience cost burden (pay more than 30 percent or more of their income on housing were identified as follows: 47,175 (60 percent) of all households are extremely low-income. Disproportionate need exists for White and Pacific Islander households (70 percent and 66 percent respectively). 16,510 (21 percent) of all households earn Very- low-income. Disproportionate need exists for Native American/Alaskan Natives (63 percent). 15,130 (19 percent) of all households earn above Low- and moderate-income or above 50 percent of the AMI. Discussion: According to the CPD cost burden map, approximately three tracts are impacted the most with cost burden whereby more than 58 percent pay over 30 percent of their income for housing costs. These tracts include: 06073012302, 06073013104, and a portion of tract 06073013310. These tracts also contain high minority concentrations. Page 126 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 47 NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion – 91.205(b)(2) Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole? Based on the preceding analysis, the following racial or ethnic groups were found to have a disproportionately greater level of housing problems relative to the percentage of all households in the given income category experiencing housing problems: Extremely- low-income White and Pacific Islander households. Very- low-income Native American/Alaskan households. When looking at the maps and jurisdiction as a whole, lower income is concentrated in the western half of the City; however, when looking at housing problems by income, concentration patterns move towards the eastern section of the City, which is where the newer developments are located. If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? As the majority of the housing stock is old and the majority of housing problems appear to be severe overpayment/cost burden and potentially overcrowding to accommodate for the lack of affordable housing of the appropriate size. Thus, increased economic opportunity to access higher median income and/or increased availability of affordable housing appear to be the major needs for those disproportionately impacted. Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? Based on the data presented in section NA-15, there are several households in the City of Chula Vista who experience one or more of the four housing problems. Examination of CPD GIS data from the CPD website at egis.hud.gov reveals the following for each of the racial or ethnic groups determined to have a housing problem or a severe housing problem: White: There is one census tract with a small concentration in the Northwest portion of the City. Black: There is one tract with a small concentration on the Northeast portion of the City. Asian: There are two tracts that have a moderate concentration in the Southeast portion of the City. American Indian/Alaska Native: There are no concentrations of this race in any area of the City. Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander: There are three tracts with very small concentrations (between 2-7%) both on the West and East sides of the City. Hispanic: Reflective of the City’s population demographics, there are several tracts with high concentrations; however, all are in the lower income areas along the Western half of the City. Page 127 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 48 Areas of moderate concentrations are adjacent to the lower income areas. Smaller concentrations exist as you move East of the 805 freeway, and there is one tract with a concentration level below 13%. Other Race: There are six tracts (only one on the West side) that have small to moderate concentrations. Two or More Races: There are five tracts on the West side and many more on the Eastern higher income areas. Based on the foregoing analysis of maps, these concentrations indicate that while the City is diverse, housing patterns have developed which may need to be considered when addressing housing needs and fair housing and community planning. For funding target area purposes, there are also several tracts that have small concentrations of non-English speakers, which also happen to be the same tracts that have a high concentration of Hispanics, households living in poverty, and have low- and moderate- income.

The units are available to low- income families, senior citizens and disabled persons: Dorothy Street Manor (22 family units located in Chula Vista) L Street Manor (16 family units located in Chula Vista) Melrose Manor Apartments (24 family units located in Chula Vista) Town Centre Manor (59 senior units located in Chula Vista) In addition, the HACSD manages the Housing Choice Voucher program in the City of Chula Vista. As of the period ending December 31, the following numbers of people are leased under the HCV Program. According to Table 22, there are approximately 13,977 Vouchers in use in the County, mostly tenant based. GIS data from CPD indicate that only one Census tract on the East side of the City has a moderate concentration of vouchers and smaller concentrations are scattered. In addition, most of the housing developments (18 Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) units, one HUD Multi-family Development, and one public housing development) are scattered throughout the City and are not concentrated in any one area of the City; though, more than half are located West of the 805 Freeway and may be one reason those tracts are determined to be low- and moderate-income areas. According to Table 23, of the Vouchers, 4,362 are held by elderly program participants aged 62 or older, 3,383 are disabled, and 3 program participants were homeless at the time of admission. The majority of Vouchers are held by families identified in Table 24 as 52 percent White, 30 percent Black/African American, 16 percent Asian, less than 1 percent Native, and less than 1 percent Pacific Islander. Ethnic composition of vouchers, Table 25, is 69 percent non-Hispanic and 31 percent Hispanic.

Four of the units are occupied by resident managers (one per development). Of the 117 units available to low-income tenants, there are 12 accessible units. Two accessible units are located at each of the three public housing family developments (two two-bedroom units and four three-bedroom units) and six one-bedroom units are located at the senior/disabled public housing development. The HACSD July 2024 Public Housing Authority Plan indicates that there were 48,122 applicants for the Public Housing Program, 22.4 percent of which are families with disabilities. According to the San Diego County Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, 22.8 percent of the region’s disabled population had mobility disabilities. Based on that percentage, it is estimated that of its 3,987 public housing waiting list families with disabilities up to 909 applicants may need accessible units. Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders As of the end of 2023, there were 96,290 families on its HCV Program waiting list (this includes HCV and Project-Based lists). The following provides statistics on other attributes: 62.5 percent White 22.2 percent Black/African American 3.5 percent American Indian/Alaska Native 6.9 percent Asian 2.8 percent Pacific Islander 38.1 percent Hispanic/Latino 20.7 percent are disabled 10.6 percent are elderly The Public Housing waiting list had 48,122 households who were: 60.8 percent White 24.8 percent Black/African American 3.4 percent American Indian/Alaska Native 5.7 percent Asian 2.9 percent Pacific Islander 43.5 percent Hispanic/Latino 9.3 percent are elderly 22.4 percent are disabled Page 133 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 54 In order to ascertain the needs of residents of HACSD’s Public Housing Program and participants of its HCV Program, the HACSD’s Resident Advisory Board meets at least twice per year. Annually, at least one meeting is held with the residents of public housing. The areas of interest and immediate needs of public housing residents and HCV holders included: Transportation services for medical appointments and stores; services for domestic violence victims, seniors and disabled; transportation to special events and on weekends; emergency food assistance; family self-sufficiency employment services; fair housing information including tenant rights; clothing assistance; tax preparation services; employment training; information on employment; tutoring; emergency preparation, and scholarships for college. HCV holders have indicated the following issues when searching for eligible rental units to initiate their assistance: high rents, low vacancy rates, landlords not interested in participating in the program, overly strict credit worthiness standards, and amount of security deposits. How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large It is difficult to compare the housing needs of public housing residents and HCV holders to the population at large because participants of these affordable housing programs are not encountering the challenges of those not receiving the benefit of public housing programs. While monthly housing costs are limited for program participants of the HACSD’s rental assistance programs, according to the 2023 American Community Survey, over 530,000 of the County’s renters were considered burdened by their housing cost. About 150,000 renters spent more than half of their income on rent and utilities in 2023. According to the Southern California Rental Housing Association, rent decreased in the County by seven percent from 2023-2024. Discussion The vast number of people on waiting lists for public housing programs clearly show the high need for affordable housing. The voucher system places no rent limits on the units and the voucher holder can choose housing that rents at levels higher than the Fair Market Rents (FMRs), making it a very popular program. While the voucher system allows households to have greater access to housing since they may choose to live anywhere that accepts Section 8, many landlords tend to dislike accepting the vouchers based on their fear of having lower-income tenants. Advertisements containing discriminatory phrases such as “No Section 8” are one area where voucher holders may experience bias; another is when they physically visit complexes that will not accept their voucher. Thus, fair housing services may be needed by residents using the voucher program. Page 134 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 55 NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c) Introduction: One of the goals of the Consolidated Plan is to coordinate services and facilities available for the homeless as a continuum of care. A continuum of care begins with a point of entry in which the needs of a homeless individual or family are assessed. Once a needs assessment is completed, the individual/family may be referred to permanent housing or to transitional housing where supportive services are provided to prepare them for independent living. The goal of a comprehensive homeless service system is to ensure that homeless individuals and families move from homelessness to self-sufficiency, permanent housing, and independent living. Homelessness is addressed regionally through the Continuum of Care (CoC), which is a regional or local planning body that coordinates housing and services funding for homeless families and individuals. The Regional Task Force on the Homeless (Task Force) is San Diego County’s leading agency for information on issues of homelessness. According to the Task Force, the San Diego region’s homeless population can be divided into two general groups: 1) urban homeless and 2) rural homeless, including farm workers and day laborers who live in the hillsides, canyons, and fields of the northern regions of the county. It is important to recognize that homeless individuals may fall into more than one category (e.g., a homeless individual may be a veteran and a substance abuser), making it difficult to accurately quantify and categorize the homeless. The homeless population is also very difficult to quantify. Census information on homeless populations is often unreliable due to the difficulty of efficiently counting a population without permanent residences. Given this impediment, local estimates of the homeless and anecdotal information are often where the population numbers of the homeless come from. The Task Force produces estimates that are obtained using observations of homeless service providers; estimates local officials; reports from local surveys and studies; utilization rates of homeless facilities, services, and meal programs; and estimated counts of persons observed at known location. The Regional Task Force on the Homeless conducted a Point-In-Time (PIT) count in 2025 which resulted in an estimate of 9,905 individuals who were homeless in the San Diego County region (both sheltered and unsheltered). This was a 6.5 percent decrease from 2024. In Chula Vista, 470 unsheltered homeless persons were identified during the count (33 fewer than in 2024). Among neighboring cities, the City of Imperial Beach had the lowest homeless count (17), while City of San Diego had the highest homeless count (3,354). In addition to the homeless population living in shelters or on the streets, many residents—due to high housing cost, economic hardships, or physical limitations— live on the brink of homelessness yet are housed temporarily through friends or families. Experts estimate that 2 to 3 families are on the verge of homelessness for every family staying in a homeless shelter. The “at-risk” population is comprised of families and individuals living in poverty, who, upon loss of Page 135 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2025-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 56 employment or other emergency requiring financial reserves, would lose their housing and become homeless. These families are generally experiencing a housing cost burden, paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. According to the 2023 American Community Survey estimates, over 63,000 of the County’s renters earn less than $19,999 per year and may fall under the extremely low- income renter- households category (0-30% AMI).

The data found is provided in Table 26.

According to the San Diego Military Advisory Council’s 2019 San Diego Military Economic Impact Study, San Diego is to home to seven military bases and over 111,000 active military personnel, this includes the largest concentration of Marine Corps in the United States. It is estimated that more than 198,000 veterans reside in San Diego County, which account for approximately 14% of residents. According to the most recent HMIS data from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, 5,432 veteran and veteran family members were served. Most veterans and their families require services similar to the civilian population. Their housing crises are due to a lack of affordable housing and economic hardship, but they are coupled with the unique challenges brought on by having experienced multiple and/or extended deployments. Many of these families can be housed through rapid re-housing by receiving housing location services, rental and move-in assistance, and case management to end their housing instability. A smaller percentage of veteran families need to be served through HUD Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH), which combines a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance with clinical case management from the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. Per the Regional Task Force on the Homeless Project Level Dashboard and Table 27, when comparing the homeless population to the general population it is evident that racial disparities exist. The most striking disproportionality can be found among Black/African Americans, who make up nearly 26 percent of the homeless population despite only representing 5.5 percent of the general population. Hispanics are equally represented as residents in San Diego County and in the homeless population at 34 percent respectively. Page 138 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 59 Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. Per the Regional Task Force on the Homeless Project Level Dashboard, 54 percent of homeless persons served have a disabling condition. Disabilities can pose challenges for individuals seeking access to and remaining in stable housing, finding employment, and performing activities of daily living. Other notable demographics include 18 percent of those served are survivors of domestic violence, 44 percent have no income, and 29 percent are unemployed. Discussion: Homelessness has become an increasing problem throughout the country. Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include a lack of housing affordable to low- and moderate-income persons, increases in the number of persons whose income fall below the poverty level, reductions in subsidies to the poor, drug/alcohol abuse, and the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill. The County suffers from a severe lack of affordable housing for both renters and buyers. The inability of homeless people to afford housing is compounded by the limited employment and entitlement options available to homeless people. With limited working skills, homeless people earn only modest wages. Moreover, cutbacks in federal assistance programs also play a critical part in the plight of the homeless. This has been particularly true with public assistance programs, where benefit levels have not kept pace with the cost of living. Those who are at risk of homelessness are those who are experiencing extreme difficulty maintaining housing and have no reasonable alternatives of obtaining subsequent housing. Contributing factors putting people at-risk include eviction, loss of income, low-income, disability, unaffordable increase in the cost of housing, discharge from an institution without subsequent housing in place, irreparable damage or deterioration to residence, and fleeing from family violence. NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b, d) Introduction: Certain segments of the population may have more difficulty in finding decent, affordable housing due to their special needs. Special needs populations consist of persons who are not homeless but due to various reasons need services and supportive housing. These “special needs” groups include large households, single-parent households, the elderly and frail elderly, disabled persons, victims of domestic violence, persons with substance abuse problems, young people aging out of the foster system, and persons living with HIV/AIDS and related diseases. These special need populations have difficulty finding appropriate housing and services to meet their needs due to economic, social, mental, and/or physical conditions. The gap between rental costs and median family income has been one of the largest contributing factors to the number of homeless individual and families in the County. The City will continue allocating CDBG public service funding to various programs that provide services to special Page 139 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 60 needs populations, including but not limited to those serving the elderly, frail elderly, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, mentally disabled, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence. Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: Large Households: Large households are defined as having five or more members. Large households are a special needs group because the availability of adequately sized, affordable housing units is often limited. In order to save for necessities such as food, clothing and medical care, low- and moderate- income large households typically reside in smaller units, resulting in overcrowding. Furthermore, families with children, especially those who are renters, may face discrimination or differential treatment in the housing market. According to the 2023 ACS estimates approximately 38 percent of the households in Chula Vista are composed of 4 people or more. Single-Parent Households: Single-parent households, particularly female-headed families with children, often require special consideration and assistance because of their greater need for affordable housing and accessible day care, health care, and other supportive services. Female- headed families with children are a particularly vulnerable group because they must balance the needs of their children with work responsibilities, often while earning limited incomes. As of 2023, the ACS estimates that 22.6 percent of Chula Vista households were headed by single parents; 6.3 percent of were headed by males, and 16.4 percent were headed by females. Elderly and Frail Elderly: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines elderly as a person who is 62 years of age or older. A frail elderly person is an elderly person who is unable to perform at least three “activities of daily living” including eating, bathing, or home management activities. Generally, elderly persons have lower incomes than the population at large and need assistance with daily routine: mobility, transportation, nutrition, medication, personal care, etc. Based on Census data, there are 8,421 persons 65-74 years of age and 7,234 residents aged 75+ in Chula Vista. Persons with Disabilities: HUD defines a disabled person as having a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits major life activities. The obstacle to independent living for these adults is not only their disability, but also the lack of financial resources. Additionally, persons with disabilities have high dependency on supportive services and may require accessibility modifications to accommodate their unique conditions. According to the Census, approximately 12,772 residents (11 percent of the population) have a disability. Care facilities are one way to serve the needs of the disabled. According to the State Community Care Licensing Division, within the City there are 6 licensed adult day care facilities, 58 adult residential care facilities, 27 residential care facilities for the elderly, and 2 small family homes. Given the limited capacity of the above-mentioned and the aging population who tend to develop disabilities as they age, additional facilities are likely to be needed. The disabled population may also need fair housing services, as disability discrimination is generally on the rise in California and denial of reasonable accommodation is prevalent. Page 140 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 61 Victims of Domestic Violence: Many single women and women with children become homeless as the result of domestic violence. According to the Regional Task Force on the Homeless Project Level Dashboard, it is estimated that nearly 18 percent of homeless adults served in 2024 were a victim of domestic violence at some point in the past. What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? Supportive services required for special needs populations include case management, medical or Affordability needs of special needs groups can usually be addressed through rental subsidies and affordable housing development. These households tend to have lower incomes and as a result often have greater needs for affordable housing, healthcare, and child-care. Without access to affordable housing, many of these households may be at risk of becoming homeless. These groups are also particularly vulnerable to discrimination, as confirmed by complaints received by the Fair Housing Foundation, which identifies familial status and disability as prevalent discrimination complaint issues. Affordable housing with childcare centers or in close proximity to schools, public transportation, and recreation facilities can address critical needs of lower-income single-parent families. Households with an elderly head-of-household have special housing needs due to three concerns: fixed income, health care costs, and physical disabilities. Seniors are often retired and have relatively lower, fixed incomes. At the same time, however, health costs are rising. Many may have become disabled and require special home care or assistance with daily chores and home tasks. These characteristics indicate a need for smaller, lower cost housing units with easy access to public transportation and to healthcare facilities. Persons with disabilities have a greater need for affordable housing as well as supportive services. In addition to health care services, persons with disabilities need affordable and accessible housing as well as accessible transportation. In order to provide accessible housing, special designs and/or accommodations may be necessary. These may include ramps, holding bars, wider doorways, lower sinks and cabinets, and elevators. Housing should be accessible through the use of special design features to accommodate wheelchairs and persons with mobility limitations. Due to their specific housing needs, persons with disabilities are vulnerable to discrimination by landlords, who may not be familiar with the reasonable accommodation protections contained in the Fair Housing Act. Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area: Persons with HIV/AIDS are considered a special needs group due to their need for affordable housing, health care, counseling and other supportive services. Persons with HIV/AIDS sometimes face bias and misunderstanding about their illness that affect their access to housing. Such persons may also be targets of hate crimes, which include crimes committed because of a bias against sexual orientation. These households may also have special needs in that they may have trouble balancing their incomes with medical expenses due to their illness, putting them at risk of becoming homeless and making access to affordable housing imperative. According to San Diego HIV Planning Group, as of mid-2023 there are 14,634 persons with HIV/AIDS living in the County. Cases in Females have increased to 13.6 Page 141 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 62 percent and males represent 86.4 percent of persons living with HIV/AIDS in San Diego County. Approximately 62.1 percent of individuals were recently diagnosed were between 20-39 years of age; with the majority (57.8 percent) of persons with HIV/AIDS were 50+ years of age in 2022. About 40.9 percent of persons living with HIV/AIDS in the County are Hispanic/Latino, 39.1 percent White, 12.1 percent African American, and 3.3 percent Asian/Pacific Islander. If the PJ will establish a preference for a HOME TBRA activity for persons with a specific category of disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness), describe their unmet need for housing and services needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2) (ii)) Discussion: Residents with special needs include, but are not limited to the elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol and other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence. Challenges these special needs populations face includes low -income and high housing cost. This segment of the population also struggles for a decent quality of life that includes basic necessities, adequate food and clothing and medical care. In the last five years, the City has provided CDBG public service funds for activities including support services for victims of domestic violence, homeless persons and those at-risk of becoming homeless, as well as nutritional meals program for low-income seniors, medical, dental, and development/anti-crime services for low-income youth, therapeutic services for the disabled, and literacy services for illiterate adults. Based on the prevalence of special needs groups in the city, there will be a high need to continue providing these types of services during the next five (5) years and prioritizing homeless persons for the HOME TBRA activity. NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs – 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities: The Non-Housing Community Development Needs section is based on consultation with staff from the City, interviews with social service providers and public agencies, comments provided through Consolidated Plan Community Outreach, resident surveys, and information from various existing documents. Under the CDBG Program, grantees may use funds to undertake a variety of public facilities and public improvement projects. In general, public facilities and public improvements are interpreted to include all facilities and improvements that are publicly owned, or that are owned by a nonprofit and open to the general public. Examples include: 1) Infrastructure improvements (construction or installation) including, but not limited to streets, sidewalks, curbs, and water and sewer lines; 2) Neighborhood facilities including, but not limited to public schools, libraries, recreational facilities, parks, playgrounds; and facilities for persons with special needs such as facilities for the homeless or domestic violence shelters, nursing homes, or group homes for the disabled. The City places a High Priority level on non-housing community development needs including those associated with neighborhood services such as graffiti removal and code compliance, public facilities improvements such as park and community center rehabilitation or ADA improvements and infrastructure improvements Page 142 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 63 including sidewalks, curbs, gutters, driveway approaches, alleys and pedestrian crossings. In addition, Persons who are physically disabled often have accessibility needs. The Americans with Disabilities Act ADA) provides comprehensive civil rights protection to persons with disabilities in the areas of public accommodation, employment, state and local government services, and telecommunications. The design, implementation, and maintenance of all park facilities must comply with ADA. Persons of all abilities must have the opportunity to participate in recreational activities. The City will continue to work toward compliance with ADA. CDBG funds may be budgeted for pedestrian ramps and toward upgrading of public facilities, community parks, and other areas where accessibility improvements are identified. During the implementation of the FY 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City will use CDBG funds to address some of these needs and provide a suitable living environment for low- and moderate-income people living in low- and moderate-income areas. To address the City’s infrastructure needs and other City facilities and services, the City Council placed a funding measure on the November 2016 ballot to address high priority infrastructure projects. On November 8, 2016, Chula Vista voters approved Measure P, authorizing a temporary ½ cent sales tax increase on retail sales within the City for a period of ten (10) years. Staff prepared the Infrastructure, Facilities and Equipment Expenditure Plan to identify the recommended allocation of the temporary ½ cent sales tax revenues which will generate an estimated $16 million per year and expires in 10 years. Measure P was voted on and approved once again in 2024 for an additional 10 years of funding for infrastructure needs. This tax will generate $337 million to continue funding projects. How were these needs determined? The needs identified for Infrastructure and Public Facilities were determined through citizen participation meetings, responses from the Consolidated Plan Survey, review of citizen comments online and in other recent planning documents, and maps were analyzed along with Census data. In addition, the City Manager’s Office, Parks and Recreation Department, Public Works Department, and Economic Development Department were consulted to provide insight and the City’s three-year Capital Improvement Plan was reviewed. Capital projects that affect public health and safety, and/or federal state legal mandates are given the highest priority. Emphasis is placed on capital projects that maintain existing service levels or prevent damage to critical property or disruption of service to the community. Projects that would enhance existing services or improve efficiency beyond industry standards receive secondary priority. The recommended funding is based on the criteria established through the Asset Management Program which identifies the major citywide infrastructure systems considered in critical need of repair or replacement. Analysis conducted by consultants experienced in evaluating infrastructure system conditions, ranked infrastructure from lowest to highest probability of failure, identified a timeline for repair and replacement and estimated associated cost. The sales tax revenues generated over the 10-year timeframe could address all infrastructure assets designated with the highest probability of failure which, if not addressed, could result in significant impact to public safety response or availability of highly used community infrastructure. Page 143 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 64 Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements: The sidewalks, curbs, gutters, driveway approaches, alleys, pedestrian crossings and streetlights located within the city’s low- and moderate-income areas are among the oldest infrastructure in the City and are in need of improvement to preserve neighborhood aesthetics, increase pedestrian and motorist safety, promote more efficient traffic circulation and deter crime while promoting a safe and suitable living environment. Public facilities improvements of this nature undertaken to benefit low- and moderate- income primarily residential Census Tract Block Groups are consistent with the goals of the Strategic Plan. How were these needs determined? The needs identified for public infrastructure improvements in the City were determined in consultation with the Public Works Department, Engineering Department, Economic Development, and City Manager’s Office. Respondents to the Consolidated Plan Survey also indicated that improvements to sidewalks, streets and alleys are a High priority need. Within the Consolidated Plan, High priority is given to public infrastructure improvement projects that primarily benefit and accommodate the needs of low-income residents. The City’s public infrastructure improvement priorities are to construct, expand or rehabilitate infrastructure for the primary benefit of low-income persons. Only public infrastructure projects that meet CDBG eligibility requirements align with the goals of the Strategic Plan, and address a CDBG National, will be considered for funding in the Annual Action Plans during the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services: Public service activities are consistently ranked as a High priority by residents and other stakeholders. Pursuant to CDBG regulations, only 15 percent of the City’s annual grant allocation (plus 15 percent of prior year program income) can be used for public service-type activities. Based on the Needs Assessment, the City proposes to focus funds on lower-income households in order to establish, improve, and expand existing public services, such as youth and senior services, mental health services, meals, and childcare for working families. The City has several initiatives that the CDBG program can complement and consider when determining projects to fund in the next five years. How were these needs determined? Public service needs are based on the City’s desire to ensure that high quality services are provided to residents to maintain a high quality of life and to promote the well-being of all residents- particularly low and moderate-income residents. As a result of the citizen participation and consultation process and in consideration of the local nonprofits and City Departments offering services, the City considers public services benefitting low- and moderate-income residents as high priority in the Strategic Plan. Residents rated senior services, homeless services, and youth services as high priority needs in the Consolidated Plan Survey. Page 144 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 65 Also, a review of the City’s FY 2023-2024 Consolidated Annual Performance Report (CAPER), shows that the City partnered with several non-profits, which confirms need and use of the services. Within the Consolidated Plan, High priority is given to public service projects that primarily benefit and accommodate the needs of low- and moderate-income residents, special needs groups in particular. Only public service projects that meet CDBG eligibility requirements align with the goals of the Strategic Plan, and address a CDBG National, will be considered for funding in the Annual Action Plans during the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. Housing Market Analysis MA-05 Overview Housing Market Analysis Overview: Based on the data reviewed in the Needs Assessment and the following Market Analysis, several characteristics of Chula Vista’s housing market have indicated that affordable housing is a key issue in the City. As such, the City has given this Need a High Priority level in the Consolidated Plan. Currently there is high demand for larger homes to accommodate large families and alleviate significant overcrowding that disproportionately impacts low- and moderate-income residents. As the City’s population continues to age, there may be less pressure on the housing market for larger homes and greater need for smaller, more affordable homes, so balance will be needed when approving development projects. In the last decade, the City has continued to pursue affordable housing development; however, the elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing, as well as staff to implement housing programs. With a lack of monetary resources available to create new affordable housing units of adequate size and lack of current inventory, housing affordability and overcrowding problems will continue to be a challenge to the community during the period of the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. According to the 2019-2023 American Community Survey Estimates, there are 85,193 residential properties in Chula Vista (not including Mobile Home, boat, or RV units) available in the community. As shown in the following Housing Market Analysis section, extremely low-income and low-income households generally cannot afford to own or rent market rate housing and require assistance to obtain decent and affordable housing. As previously discussed in the Needs Section, a large percentage of households are at or below the area median income and experiencing a disproportionate housing need. MA-10 Number of Housing Units – 91.210(a)&(b)(2) Introduction A housing unit is defined as a house, an apartment, or a single room, occupied as a separate living quarter or, if vacant, intended for occupancy as a separate living quarter. A community's housing stock is Page 145 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 66 the compilation of all its housing units. A community’s housing stock characteristics can provide an indicator of overall housing conditions and needs. Housing diversity is an important factor in ensuring adequate housing opportunities for residents. This section addresses the housing characteristics of the housing supply in Chula Vista including growth, type and tenure, age, condition, costs, affordability, and availability. According to 2016-2020ACS data, 67 percent of the City’s housing stock is comprised of single-family attached/detached housing units, with an additional five (4) percent (3,675units) of 2-4 units. Multifamily housing (5+ units) accounts for 24 percent of total housing (20,465units) in the City and a majority of these dwelling units are in larger multifamily structures containing more than 20 units. Mobile homes comprise the smallest portion of the housing stock in the City with 3,930 units (5 percent). Tables 28 and 29 below illustrate the number of residential properties in the City by property type, unit size, and tenure. All residential properties by number of units Property Type Number % 1-unit detached structure 45,575 53% 1-unit, attached structure 12,215 14% 2-4 units 3,675 4% 5-19 units 8,865 10% 20 or more units 11,600 14% Mobile Home, boat, RV, van, etc. 3,930 5% Total 85,860 100% Table 28 – Residential Properties by Unit Number Data Source: 2016-2020 ACS Unit Size by Tenure Owners Renters Number % Number % No bedroom 305 1% 1,035 3% 1 bedroom 720 2% 6,580 21% 2 bedrooms 6,975 15% 13,355 42% 3 or more bedrooms 39,755 83% 10,765 34% Total 47,755 101% 31,735 100% Table 2729 – Unit Size by Tenure Data Source: 2016-2020 ACS Affordable Housing Developments Affordable housing is housing which is deemed affordable to those with a median household income or below as rated by the national government or a local government by a recognized housing affordability index. For Chula Vista and San Diego County the current 2025 median income is $130,800. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines "affordable" as housing that costs no more than 30 percent of a household's monthly income. Public agencies usually define affordable Page 146 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 67 housing as units with rent restrictions or price restrictions to maintain affordability as defined by HUD for the longest feasible time. There are currently 43 affordable housing developments in Chula Vista, as shown below, that provide 2,384 subsidized units of affordable housing. As shown in the map, affordable housing developments are scattered throughout the City and are not concentrated in any one area. Additionally, there appears to be opportunity for affordable housing development in the North and Eastern sections of the City that would also increase opportunities for tracts with disability concentrations. Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs. Housing developments/projects can receive housing assistance from a variety of sources in order to ensure that rents are affordable to low- and moderate-income households, though typically funding is provided by the federal and/or state government. These units are referred to as “Assisted Units” and contain special covenants to ensure affordability. The City uses various funding sources to preserve and increase the supply of affordable housing through new construction and the acquisition and/or rehabilitation of renter-occupied units. Affordability covenants in Chula Vista include developments that hold federal subsidy contracts, received tax credits or mortgage revenue bonds, were created through the City’s Balanced Community’s Policy, and/or were financed by redevelopment funds or non-profit developers. The inventory of affordable housing developments in Chula Vista is shown above and includes affordable units for lower-income households (senior and non-senior). Additional units are set aside for special needs populations (former foster youth, victims of domestic violence, and other special needs). There are currently 48 affordable housing developments in Chula Vista that have received mortgage assistance through the federal government/State of California/local government, which are targeted to 2,934 subsidized units. Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts. According to the City’s Housing Element, two projects are eligible to convert to market-rate units due to expiring affordability restrictions during the Consolidated Plan Period and are considered to be “at risk”: Park Village Apartments for families and Rolling Hills Garden apartments for seniors (developed under a State of California Housing and Community Development Family Demonstration Program, with financial assistance from the City’s former Redevelopment Agency, and another under the City’s Balanced Communities Policy). These two rental complexes provide 132 affordable housing units at risk of conversion to market rate housing. The City has strived to provide affordable housing for both owners and renters over the last few decades, though there is still a huge need. The City is currently working on the following affordable housing developments that will provide a minimum of 201 additional affordable units to the housing stock: Paseo Del Rey (96 units) Palomar Motel (27 units) Page 147 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 68 E St Apartments (78 units) Preservation of assisted units is an issue because the subsidy periods of projects constructed over 20 years ago are beginning to come up for renewal or termination. The expiration of affordability restrictions on government assisted rental units are the typical reason for this potential loss. Much of the housing at-risk of conversion from expiring contracts in Chula Vista affects low- income seniors (104 units) and families (28 units). According to the City’s Housing Element, there are two strategies that could be used for preservation 1) provide rental subsidies to the existing units, which would cost approximately $51,705,720 to provide subsidies for 55 years ($940,104 annually); or 2) provide for new construction replacement of 132 units, which would cost $39,039,000. Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Chula Vista’s housing stock primarily consists of single-family housing units (67 percent), leaving limited choices for renters seeking multi-family units. The vast majority (74 percent) of homes were built prior to 1980, indicating a significant need for residential rehabilitation. While housing built prior to 1960 is similar for both renters and owners (20.4 percent and 12.2 percent respectively), 30 percent of renter occupied housing was developed between 1960 and 1979. Only 16.6 percent of renter occupied housing are in new stock developed after 2000. Per the 2023 ACS, the City’s occupied housing is comprised of 60 percent ownership units 52,160units) and 41 percent renter (35,869 units). This indicates that single family homes are likely being rented out and there may be a significant number of small landlords given that only 34 percent of the housing stock is multi-family. Comparison of tenure by bedrooms shows only three (3) percent of smaller (0-1 bedroom) units are available for ownership (1,388 units), compared to 35 percent of rental units (12,586 units). The 2024 Census reported 15,701 one-person households 6,553 owners and 9,148 renters). Of these, 6,887 households are over 65 years of age (3,353 owners and 3,524 renters). Given there are only about 13,974 small units available for the 15,701 single households there are clearly not enough units to meet the need. As the population ages this will become an increasingly important issue. While most of the housing stock is more than 3 bedrooms, 84 percent is ownership housing; leaving limited choices for renters (32 percent). As a result, single households will be challenged to find ownership opportunities of appropriate size within the City and large households will face challenges finding larger more suitable units to rent. The 2023 ACS breaks out bedroom data to include 4- and 5-bedroom units, which shows only 2,801 larger units available for renters. In contrast, there are 24,003 larger units available for owners. The 2020 Census reported 33,563 households with four or more persons (21,726 owner-occupied households and 11,837 renter-occupied households). It also reported 2,011 households with more than 1.5 persons per room (492 ownership and 1,519 renters), which is considered severe overcrowding. An additional 7,061 units were reported as overcrowded (1.01 to 1.50 occupants per room) (2,635 owners and 4,426 renters) housing units have more than one person per room. Thus, finding rental housing of adequate size for large families is more severe than the other groups and is consistent with the overcrowding issues identified in the Needs Assessment section. Describe the need for specific types of housing: Page 148 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 69 As only three (3) percent of smaller (0-1 bedroom) units are available for ownership (1,388 units), and 35 percent are rental units (12,586 units), single households are challenged to find ownership opportunities of appropriate size within the City. There are approximately 15,701single households and 13,974 smaller units available. This is a gap of 1,727 units and impacts seniors a substantial number of seniors who make up 44 percent of single households. This number is likely to increase as Southwestern College also generates a high demand for housing to accommodate students, many of which are of low income, independent, and are not able to secure paid work due to the commitment required to focus on coursework, leaving them with less income available to afford housing. Large households also face challenges finding larger more suitable units to rent. The 2019-2023ACS breaks out bedroom data to include 4- and 5-bedroom units, which shows only 2,801 units available for rental contrasted to 24,003 available for ownership. The 2019 Census reported 33,563households with more than four members, which shows a gap of approximately 9,560 larger units. Thus, the problems for large renter families are more severe than the other groups and is consistent with the overcrowding issues from the Needs Assessment section. In order to provide for a more diverse housing stock mix that would accommodate housing needs, the City will need to encourage smaller unit homeownership housing, that could accommodate single and elderly households. This would also likely impact generational wealth opportunities and help address income inequality issues throughout the City. Housing with four (4) or more bedrooms should also be encouraged to benefit large renter households. In addition, ADA accessible housing is a need as the disabled are often limited in their housing choices and many senior households may benefit from similar modifications. Special needs groups would also benefit from having a set-aside requirement in any of the future housing developments. Income targeting to those earning 50 percent or less of the area median would help address the worst-case needs of the severely over cost burdened households. Discussion Housing affordability continues to be a challenge. According to Table 32 in Section MA-15, there are 1,365renter housing units in the City affordable to those earning less than 30 percent AMI, with no information for owner households in this category, but Table 6 in Section NA-10 shows there are 11,800households in that income bracket. There are 4,235housing units affordable to those in the 30-50 income category, but there are 10,965households in that income bracket. Thus, there is an estimated need for approximately 10,3453 housing units affordable to those earning less than 30 percent AMI though this is likely lower given the missing ownership data) and an additional 4,385 housing units that are affordable to households earning between 30-50 percent of AMI. Per the City’s Housing Element, there are new construction goals of 50 extremely low units, 100 very low units and 400 low units to be constructed by 2029. This is not nearly enough to meet the gaps, but with other programs such as rental subsidies, rehabilitation, provision of public services, and other community development programs, needs will be addressed. During the period of the Consolidated Plan from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029, the City will continue to prioritize the development of additional affordable rental housing units and the preservation of both rental and ownership units that are currently affordable to low- and moderate- income households. Page 149 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 70 MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction The cost of housing is directly related to the extent of housing problems in a community. If housing costs are relatively high in comparison to household income, there will be a correspondingly higher occurrence of overpayment and overcrowding. One of the most important factors in evaluating a community’s housing market is the cost of housing and, even more significant, whether the housing is affordable to households who live there or would like to live there. This section summarizes the cost and affordability of the housing stock to Chula Vista residents. As the Census data pertaining to housing cost can be unreliable, more accurate data sources are utilized in the discussions following these tables. According to the Census data in Table30 home values have increased 40percent and rents have increased substantially 36 percent over the last 10 years. As this default data presented in the table above is outdated, MLS and CAR data is used for the following discussion instead. Cost of Housing Base Year: 2009 Most Recent Year: 2020 % Change Median Home Value 375,700 526,500 40% Median Contract Rent 1,213 1,644 36% Table 2830 – Cost of Housing Data Source: 2000 Census (Base Year), 2016-2020 ACS (Most Recent Year) Rent Paid Number % Less than $500 1,964 6.2% 500-999 2,755 8.7% 1,000-1,499 8,985 28.3% 1,500-1,999 9,155 28.8% 2,000 or more 8,880 28.0% Total 31,739 100.0% Table 31 - Rent Paid Data Source: 2016-2020 ACS Median Rental Costs As stated, Tables 30 and 31 indicate the median home value and contract rent (not including utility or other associated costs). These values are self-reported by residents through the U.S. Census American Community Survey (ACS), are somewhat dated, and do not illustrate cost by bedroom. Per the City’s Housing Element the 2019 average monthly rents in Chula Vista ranged from $1,134 for a studio apartment, $1,487 for a one-bedroom, $1,820 for a two-bedroom, and $2,213+ for three-bedroom Page 150 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 71 apartment. To be able to afford the average two-bedroom apartment, a household would need to earn 6,070 a month or over $35.00 an hour. Housing Affordability Number of Units affordable to Households earning Renter Owner 30% HAMFI 1,365 No Data 50% HAMFI 4,235 2,095 80% HAMFI 17,330 3,989 100% HAMFI No Data 7,444 Total 22,930 13,528 Table 2932 – Housing Affordability Data Source: 2016-2020 CHAS Monthly Rent Monthly Rent ($) Efficiency (no bedroom) 1 Bedroom 2 Bedroom 3 Bedroom 4 Bedroom Fair Market Rent 2,062 2,248 2,833 3,819 4,638 High HOME Rent 1,779 1,907 2,291 2,638 2,923 Low HOME Rent 1,326 1,420 1,705 1,970 2,197 Table 3033 – Monthly Rent Data Source Comments: Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? According to the ACS data in Table 6, approximately 37120 households (47 percent) earn less than 80 percent of the HAMFI in Chula Vista. According to CHAS data in Table 32, there are 29,041 housing units in the City that are affordable to low- and moderate-income households. Thus, it would appear that there are no adequate units to support needs. Per the Needs Assessment, there are approximately 11,800 households earning less than 30 percent of AMI reside in the City; however, there are only approximately 1,365 renter units affordable to those at this income level. Similarly, the City has 10,965 households earning between 31 and 50 percent of AMI and only 6,330 housing units affordable to those at this income level (4,235 renter and 2,095 owner). The shortage of affordable units is most prevalent for households with the lowest incomes, unlike households earning between 50 and 100 percent AMI where there is an ample amount of housing available. In order to address the disproportion, the City would need to add 15,070 units for those earning less than 50 percent AMI (10,435 units for extremely- low and 4,635 units for very low-income households). Although a housing unit may be considered affordable to a particular income group, this does not necessarily mean that the unit is actually occupied by a household in that income group. Therefore, the affordability mismatches are likely to be more severe than presented by the data in the tables. Housing affordability within the City is a reflection of a region-wide phenomenon. The cost of both land and housing (for sale and for rent) is high in Chula Page 151 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 72 Vista, on average, higher than in many areas of the county. This makes it increasingly challenging to create and maintain affordable housing. How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? Housing affordability can be inferred by comparing the cost of housing in a City with the maximum housing costs affordable to households of different income levels. This information can provide a picture of who can afford what size and type of housing as well as indicate the type of households that would likely experience overcrowding or housing cost burden. The California Association of Realtors (CAR)'s Traditional Housing Affordability Index (HAI) measures the percentage of households that can afford to purchase the median priced home in the state and regions of California based on traditional assumptions. C.A.R. also reports its traditional and first-time buyer indexes for regions and select counties within the state (FTBHAI). San Diego County is not very affordable, only 25 percent of residents can afford to buy, which is similar to the State of California (31 percent), but in contrast to the United States as a whole where 55 percent can afford to buy. A first-time buyer is assumed in the HAI to make a 20 percent down payment, which based on the median price of $881,030 in San Diego County in December of 2024, would be $176,206. In Chula Vista the average price of homes ranges from $590,000 for a two-bedroom house, to $750,000 for a three-bedroom, $903,300 for a four-bedroom, and $1,100,000 for a five-bedroom. These prices require a down payment of $118,000 minimum. The average low- and moderate-income household is not likely to have substantial savings in that amount. Moreover, the payment associated with that scenario of $3,501 per month and an annual income needed of $140,040is not realistic given a median income of $86,132. As home values and rents have continued to substantially rise, this has further exacerbated housing problems such as cost burden, severe cost burden and overcrowding—particularly for low- and-moderate income households. Given the low inventory of sales and rentals and the high percentage of residents who continue to stay in the same house per the Census, it is unlikely that affordability will increase naturally in the market. How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? Fair Market Rents (FMRs) are used to guide payment amounts under certain programs, including initial renewal rents for some expiring project-based Section 8 contracts. They also serve as a rent ceiling in the HOME rental assistance program. The 2024 and 2025 Fair Market Rents for San Diego County shown in Table 33 are much lower than the rents advertised online for the rental market survey conducted. Most extremely- low and low-income households cannot afford the fair market rents or the market rents. Thus, these income groups have a greater need for affordable housing and will be targeted in the City’s overall strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing. Page 152 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 73 To produce or preserve affordable rental housing units that carry a minimum HOME affordability period of 20 years, significant levels of subsidy are required. In addition, a substantial amount of funds is needed to assist with down payment to make a mortgage payment affordable. Discussion Creating new affordable housing units continues to be a challenge and housing affordability problems have become increasingly difficult. As such, the provision of Affordable Housing Opportunities will continue to be a high priority need in the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction Assessing housing conditions in the City provides the basis for developing strategies to maintain and preserve the quality of the housing stock. The ACS defines a “selected condition” as owner- or renter occupied housing units having at least one of the following conditions: 1) lacking complete plumbing facilities; 2) lacking complete kitchen facilities; 3) more than one occupant per room; and 4) selected monthly housing costs greater than 30 percent of household income. Based on the definition of selected conditions, Table 34 shows that 33 percent of owner-occupied households in the City have at least one selected condition and 52 percent of all renter-occupied households in the City have at least one selected condition. This translates to 15,855 owner households and 16,480 renter households respectively that may need some type of housing assistance. Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation": A substandard condition is one that affects the health and safety of a resident’s habitability. As defined by the California Health and Safety Code, a substandard condition exists to the extent that it endangers the health and safety of its occupants or the public. Substandard conditions include inadequate sanitation, structural hazards, any nuisance which endangers the health and safety of the occupants or the public, all substandard plumbing, wiring, and/or mechanical equipment, unless it conformed to all applicable laws in effect at the time of installation and has been maintained in a good and safe condition, infestation of insects, vermin, or rodents as determined by a health officer, faulty weatherproofing, lack of fire resistant systems, visible mold, inadequate structural resistance to horizontal forces, buildings or portions thereof occupied for living, sleeping, cooking, or dining purposes which were not designed or intended to be used for such occupancies, and inadequate maintenance which causes a building or any portion thereof to be declared unsafe. Standard’ housing condition in the City is defined as being in conformance with the California State Health and Safety codes. For the purposes of the Consolidated Plan grant programs, a unit in Page 153 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 74 substandard condition is considered “suitable for rehabilitation” provided that the estimated cost of rehabilitation does not exceed the estimated cost of reconstructing the unit.

Low vacancy rates suggest households may have trouble finding housing with an affordable monthly payment. A high number of vacant units indicate an over-supply of housing units. A four to six percent vacancy rate is considered “healthy”. A balanced vacancy rate for a community is typically around 5%. Vacancy rates lower than 5% favor landlords and can signal a shortage of choice for renters, while vacancy rates above 5% favor renters. According to the 2020 census, the vacancy rate in Chula Vista was 3.1 percent, representing a tight housing market. There was a total of 2,705 vacant units reported. In the County, the rates were higher with a homeowner vacancy rate of 6 with a total of 69,741 vacant units reported. According to the City’s Housing Element there are 120 vacant sites available to meet State Regional Housing Needs. It is difficult to find matching data to assess the need for this issue. Local officials typically learn of potential vacant and abandoned properties through registration, neighbor complaints, visual surveys, property tax delinquency, or other means, and turn first to code enforcement and tax liens to make owners take responsibility for the property and return it to productive use. Vacant and abandoned properties can quickly fall into disrepair enough that they no longer comply with local building codes. Code enforcement officials, who are empowered to secure properties that pose a threat to public health, safety, and welfare, can then issue citations and levy fines on problem properties. One of the greatest obstacles to timely and effective code enforcement is tracking down and holding responsible the owners and servicers of loans in default. Real estate owned (REO) properties pose special challenges. Mortgage servicers, which are usually national or international companies, must contend with the local laws and codes that apply to a given property. When officials can identify the property owners and hold them responsible, they can ensure that code violations are rectified and mitigate the negative impact of the property. If the owners are not responsive, local governments can take control of the property and pursue the appropriate course: either rehabilitation or demolition and reuse. Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation The age of housing is often an indicator of housing conditions. In general, housing that is 30 years or older may need minor repair. Moreover, many federal and state programs also use the age of housing as one factor in determining housing rehabilitation needs. Typically, housing over 30 years of age is more likely to have rehabilitation needs that may include plumbing, roof repairs, electrical repairs, foundation rehabilitation, or other significant improvements. Housing over 50 years old is considered aged and more likely to generate major repairs such as significant rehabilitation to the structure, foundation, electrical, and plumbing systems. Units built after 1990 may require aesthetic and maintenance repairs such as new roofs and windows and paint improvements. Approximately 48% of the housing stock is over 40 years old, and 20% of the housing stock is approaching 50 years of age or older and more likely to require major rehabilitation. Housing that is not maintained can discourage investment, reduce neighboring property values, and negatively impact the quality of life in a neighborhood. The age of the Page 155 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 76 City’s housing stock indicates a potential need for continued code enforcement, property maintenance and housing rehabilitation programs. Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low- or Moderate-Income Families with LBP Hazards A large portion of the City’s housing stock (41.5 percent) was built prior to 1979, making the residents of these homes at risk lead-based paint hazards. Lead can cause severe damage in young children. It attacks the central nervous system, the neurological system, and can cause brain damage, IQ reduction, learning disabilities, decreased attention span, hyperactivity, growth inhibition, comas, seizures, and in some cases, death. The most common source of child lead poisoning is exposure to lead-based paint and lead-contaminated dust) in the child's home. There are 38,874 housing units built before 1980, As 41.5 percent of these units might contain lead- based paint and 45.6 percent of the City’s population is low- and moderate income, it can be estimated that 16,132.71 housing units with lead-based paint hazards may be estimated to be occupied by low- and moderate-income families. Moreover, the majority of low- and moderate-income households are concentrated in the same Census Tract/Block Groups where the housing stock is generally older. Discussion As noted in the Needs Assessment, a large share of owner and renter households experience at least one substandard housing condition. Based on the results of the Needs Assessment, the most prevalent conditions are cost burden and overcrowding. The high number of low- and moderate- income households and special needs groups, including seniors with limited income and higher rates of disability struggling with issues more important than fixing their homes, indicate that many units in the housing stock may not be suitable for habitation. Based on the age of the housing stock, a significant need exists for the preservation of older housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income households. The City will continue to address this need through the implementation of programs designed to preserve the stock of affordable housing, which is a High Priority Need. Page 156 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 77 MA-25 Public and Assisted Housing – 91.210(b) Introduction Public housing is a form of housing tenure in which the property is owned by a government authority, which may be central or local, which may be owned and managed by the state, by non-profit organizations, or by a combination of the two, usually with the aim of providing affordable housing. Typically, this type of housing is seen as a potential remedy to housing inequality. According to HUD, public housing was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Public housing comes in all sizes and types, from scattered single-family houses to high rise apartments for elderly families. There are approximately 1.2 million households living in public housing units, managed by some 3,300 PHAs. County of San Diego Housing and Community Development Services (HCDS) serves as the Housing Authority for the County. The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego administers several publicly owned rental housing units within San Diego County. These rental units are available to low-income families, senior citizens, and disabled persons. The Housing Authority participates in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), Public Housing, Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH), Section 8 Project-Based Voucher (PBV), Moderate Rehabilitation, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) programs. The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego has 8 waiting lists that are open now or opening soon.

Typically, this type of housing is seen as a potential remedy to housing inequality. According to HUD, public housing was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Public housing comes in all sizes and types, from scattered single-family houses to high rise apartments for elderly families. The County of San Diego Housing and Community Development Services (HCDS) serves as the Housing Authority for the County. The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego administers several publicly owned rental housing units within San Diego County. These rental units are available to low-income families, senior citizens, and disabled persons. The Housing Authority participates in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), Public Housing, Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH), Section 8 Project-Based Voucher (PBV), Moderate Rehabilitation, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) programs. Describe the supply of public housing developments: As stated in the Needs Assessment section NA-35, the Housing Authority of the San Diego (HACSD) owns and administers four (4) public housing rental complexes located in the City of Chula Vista; with a total of 121 units. The units are available to low- income families, senior citizens, and disabled persons as follows: Dorothy Street Manor (22 family units located in Chula Vista) L Street Manor (16 family units located in Chula Vista) Melrose Manor Apartments (24 family units located in Chula Vista) Town Centre Manor (59 senior units located in Chula Vista) In addition, the HACSD manages the Housing Choice Voucher program in the City of Chula Vista. According to Table 38, there are approximately 14,450 Vouchers available in the County, mostly tenant- based, and 1472 are special purpose vouchers (1,403 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing, 69 Family Unification Program, and 0 Disabled). Describe the number and physical condition of public housing units in the jurisdiction, including those that are participating in an approved Public Housing Agency Plan: The City of Chula Vista does not have a public housing authority. The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego serves as the City’s public housing authority. As outlined above, the HACSD has 117 public housing units available to residents plus four resident-manager units, for a total of 121. These units are addressed in the HACSD PHA Plan. Page 158 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 79 The PHAS is an in-depth evaluation of a Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) performance including the physical condition of properties, financial health, management systems, and the effectiveness of its modernization Capital Fund Program. The HACSD received a Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) physical score of 93 out of a possible 100 points for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2018. The HACSD was awarded 10 points out of a maximum score of 10 for its administration of its Capital Fund Program. The HACSD continues to improve its Public Housing stock with funding from its Capital Fund Program. More current scores have not yet been released due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. HUD will resume issuing new PHAS scores beginning with PHAs with fiscal year end date of June 30, 2021. HACSD was determined to be a high performer in 2017. HUD's Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) conducts physical property inspections of properties that are owned, insured or subsidized by HUD, including public housing and multifamily assisted housing. About 20,000 such inspections are conducted each year to ensure that assisted families have housing that is decent, safe, sanitary and in good repair. REAC scores range from 1 to 100 (100 being best) and a score below 60 is considered a failed score. Scores for units within Chula Vista were all passing as of August 25, 2021. The three most recent HUD inspection scores for properties in Chula Vista are shown below: Public Housing Condition Public Housing Development Average Inspection Score Congregational Tower 97c Garden Villas 92c Oxford Terrace 91c Table 39 - Public Housing Condition Describe the restoration and revitalization needs of public housing units in the jurisdiction: Dorothy Street Manor (22 family units located in Chula Vista) L Street Manor (16 family units located in Chula Vista) Melrose Manor Apartments (24 family units located in Chula Vista) Town Centre Manor (59 senior units located in Chula Vista) As is the case with complexes of this age, major systems and components begin to meet or exceed their life expectancies and must be restored or replaced at an accelerating rate, which often exceeds the funding available to take the appropriate actions in a timely manner. Per the HACSD’s FY 2024 Action Plan, improvements were to be completed at Town Centre Manor which include electrical and plumbing updates, ADA accessibility improvements, elevator modernization, and fire safety systems. Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderate-income families residing in public housing: Page 159 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 80 The HACSD holds an annual Capital Improvement and Resident Services meeting with public housing residents to elicit information, feedback and recommendations for future capital fund projects and other resident needs. The HACSD works with residents to prioritize resident needs so that funds are directed first to higher priority items with a priority focus on energy efficiency improvements. A contracted property management company is directed to promptly address all needed repairs. HACSD conducts annual quality control inspections. The HACSD is currently addressing the high priority deficiencies identified in the Physical Needs Assessment. The long-term goal of the HACSD is to address all the deficiencies identified in the report. Discussion: As was discussed above, as the HACSD public housing ages, restoration and rehabilitation needs are expected to increase at an accelerating rate. However, income from rents generally remains level, while other sources of income, such as capital funding, do not necessarily rise at the same rate as accelerating costs. The HACSD is seeking other options, such as conversion of the public housing units, in order to provide these affordable housing units over the long term. Page 160 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 81 MA-30 Homeless Facilities and Services – 91.210(c) Introduction The facility and service needs of homeless families and individuals generally include emergency shelter, transitional housing, supportive services such as job training and counseling, and mental and general health services. Emergency shelters often provide accommodation for a few days up to three months. Transitional housing provides shelter for an extended period of time (as long as 18 months) and generally includes integration with other social services and counseling programs that assist people in attaining a permanent income and housing. Permanent supportive housing is rental housing for low-income or homeless people with severe mental illness, substance abuse, or HIV/AIDS with accompanying services that also further self-sufficiency. Outreach activities and programs are designed to contact or interact with the chronic homeless, hard to house homeless, homeless families with children and persons at risk of homelessness, and to provide information regarding and access to the region’s system of care.

In the region, the San Diego Workforce Partnership provides job training programs throughout the region. There are also various community colleges in the region that provide no to low-cost educational opportunities. As previously mentioned previously, the City of Chula Vista participates in the Regional Continuum of Care Council. List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations. Preventive services are aimed at preventing the incidences of homelessness by assisting individuals and families from slipping into the cycle of homelessness due to a temporary or sudden loss of income. Preventive services include Short-term financial assistance to prevent eviction, foreclosure or utility shut off, Tenant-landlord legal/mediation services to prevent eviction, food banks and pantries, transportation/gas voucher, clothing assistance, prescription/medical/dental services, and information and referral services. Government assistance and homeless programs work to enable the homeless community to obtain income, housing and other services. In California, the primary programs for assisting families in poverty are most often administered (in whole or in part) by state and county agencies. There are several Federal and State Programs aimed at addressing the needs of the Homeless. Regionally, the CoC uses its federal and state funding to support federal, state and local initiatives that will have a meaningful impact on preventing and ending homelessness. Locally, the City of Chula Vista are direct recipients of HUD CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds which are used to develop affordable housing and community and economic development activities that meet the goals and objectives listed in this Consolidated Plan. MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d) Introduction The City has a strong network of public, private, and nonprofit organizations offering facilities and services. The following section identifies many of the services available to assist particularly vulnerable people that are elderly, frail elderly, that have disabilities, who live in poverty or are refugees, who have Page 162 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 83 alcohol or other drug addictions, and/or are domestic violence survivors to particularly vulnerable special needs) populations. Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs Special needs populations require unique housing support. An estimated 49% of households with a disability have a housing need that may require modifications to make a unit more accessible, such as shower grab bars, ramps, or wide doors. This population may need help with one or more daily activity requiring assistance from a hired caregiver or family member. If neither option is available due to lack of family members or for financial reasons, group homes offer vital support for populations with disabilities. An estimated 11% of elderly (aged 62 years and older) and 11% of frail elderly (elderly and require assistance with daily living) have housing or service needs; this is based on the share of elderly and frail elderly living in poverty. These needs are similar to those with disabilities, such as modifications to the home or care provided by a family member, or at home caregiver. Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing Several organizations in San Diego offer supportive housing referral and placement services for residents returning from mental and physical health institutions and those who are experiencing homelessness. This includes San Diego Health and Human Services as well as disability advocacy groups. Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e) The City prioritizes public service activities that serve the most vulnerable populations in the City. This includes recreation programming for seniors through the Norman Park Senior Center, therapeutic recreation programs for adults with disabilities, food delivery services offered by Meals on Wheels and Mama’s Kitchen. For entitlement/consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. (91.220(2)) See above. MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e) Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment Page 163 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 84 Public policies directly and indirectly impact affordable housing development and residential investment; both positively and negatively. Providing for a range of housing types and prices allows residents of all ages and incomes the opportunity to find adequate housing that meets their needs and ability to pay; however, there are often barriers that prevent residents finding decent affordable housing. Barriers to the development of affordable housing occur at all three levels of government, as well as in the private market and within the community. Local government cannot control many factors that tend to restrict housing supply, especially those that relate to regional, national, and international economy. However, they do have control over several policies which are examined in this section. At the state level California’s housing-element law acknowledges that, in order for the private market to adequately address the housing needs and demand of Californians, local governments must adopt plans and regulatory systems that provide opportunities for (and do not unduly constrain), housing development. A variety of requirements and regulations can impede a community’s ability to respond quickly to the growing need for housing, including zoning restrictions, land use regulations, low density requirements, off-street parking requirements, preservation or environmental impact regulations, and permitting processes, among other factors. Typically, such housing policies and processes are controlled at the local government level. While the authority to regulate land use is delegated primarily to local governments, states have the constitutional authority to reduce or remove regulations that drive up housing costs, offer financial and technical support for local communities to zone for affordable housing, and empower municipalities to use their own resources to create incentives for development. California has tried to streamline permitting processes and ease restrictive zoning laws that hinder the development of affordable housing and enacted legislation allowing fewer parking spaces in housing developments to increase affordability in areas close to public transit and promote the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in single-family and multifamily residential neighborhoods. Still, California is one of the most highly regulated of the 50 States, ranking number 9 on the Wharton Residential Land Use Regulation Index (WRLURI). Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) Based on the analysis conducted for the Regional AI, the following was a preliminary list of fair housing impediments identified in San Diego County: Outreach and Education: Fair housing education is identified as one of the most important strategies for furthering fair housing. However, traditional outreach methods of publishing notices and press releases in newspapers and posting information on websites are not adequate to reach the general public with diverse needs and interests. Outreach methods should be expanded to include other media of communications as well as utilizing networks of neighborhood groups and organizations. Enforcement: Rigorous enforcement of fair housing laws is most effective in deterring housing discrimination. However, not enough enforcement activities are pursued. Fair housing service providers should encourage victims to pursue litigation and refer victims to agencies and Page 164 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 85 organizations with the capacity to handle litigation. Also, favorable outcomes in litigation should be publicized to encourage other victims to come forward. Racial Segregation and Linguistic Isolation: In San Diego County, 15.4 percent of residents indicated they spoke English “less than very well” and can be considered linguistically isolated. The cities of National City, Chula Vista, El Cajon, and Escondido have the highest percentage of total residents who spoke English “less than very well”. Most of these residents were Spanish speakers. Lending: Throughout San Diego County, White applicants were noticeably overrepresented in the loan applicant pool, while Hispanics were severely underrepresented. Black and Hispanic applicants also seem to be significantly more likely to receive subprime loans. The SDRAFFH and jurisdictions should meet with the lending community to discuss ways to expand access to financing for all but especially for minority households. Housing Options: It can be difficult for persons with disabilities to find housing that suits their needs, and the existing housing tends to have long waiting lists. Local jurisdictions should encourage universal design principles in new housing developments, in addition to accessing necessary education on accessibility requirements. Overconcentration of Housing Choice Vouchers: There is an overconcentration of vouchers in certain cities in the County. There needs to be an increase in outreach and education through fair housing service providers to educate renters on their options. With state housing law being amended annually in areas such as density bonus and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), impediments to affordable housing are decreasing quickly. The City has deferred to state law in both examples mentioned above ensuring quicker review times on affordable development projects. This year marks the halfway point of the City of Chula Vista’s sixth Housing Element cycle. The state Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) allocates a certain number of units of different income levels to each City at every cycle called Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA). RHNA represents the City’s fair share of the housing needs for the San Diego region, including an equitable share of affordable housing. HCD has allocated the following RHNA to the City of Chula Vista for the 2021-2029 Housing Cycle: Income Level Number Allocated Number Needed Very Low 2,750 2,583 Low 1,777 1,337 Moderate 1,911 1,911 Total 6,438 5,831 Table 41 - RHNA Allocation of Affordable Units by Income Level Page 165 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 86 MA-45 Non-Housing Community Development Assets – 91.215 (f) Introduction Economic development is a major contributor to a community’s standard of living and quality of life. Standard of living is typically measured by a series of indicators that include, but are not limited to, educational achievement, housing and neighborhood conditions, general health and safety, household income, employment opportunities, and wages. The City’s ability to retain and attract businesses that employ the local workforce and raise the standard of living is essential to successful economic development. Economic Development Market Analysis There are many different types of assets that communities have. These include natural amenities, cultural and historic resources, human capital, and current industries, as well as the potential for new and emerging industries—such as renewable energy. Assets can include the presence of an institution, such as a college or university, or a hospital or medical center. Asset-based economic development builds on existing local resources to strengthen local and regional economies, and focuses on a community’s natural environmental, sociocultural, and economic advantages and how these can be leveraged into sustained economic growth and productivity. It focuses on building capacity in communities and strengthening connections within regions. The following section identifies gaps and deficiencies in the local economy and discusses efforts to attract new investments/industries, in the more traditional style of economic development. Goals for retaining existing jobs and creating new jobs, increasing per capita income, and increasing the local tax base are also included as, the City desires to enhance the community’s quality of life/sense of place, strengthen community pride by building on local traditions/creating new ones, and seeks to build stronger regional networks.

Page 168 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 89 According to the ACS data below in Table 49, Chula Vista is home to a variety of companies and industries. The key industry clusters in the City include Education and Health Care Services (25 percent of jobs), Retail Trade (19 percent of jobs), and Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations (19 percent of jobs). The City’s largest employers, representing 20,065 jobs per the City’s Finance Department 2024 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report are as follows: Business Number of Employees Percent of Total Employment Sweetwater Union High School District 3,983 6.08% Chula Vista Elementary School District 3,923 5.99% Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center 3,114 4.75% Southwestern Community College 1,994 3.04% Wal-Mart 1,451 2.22% City of Chula Vista 1,443 2.20% Rohr Inc./Goodrich Aerospace 1,303 1.99% Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista 1,073 1.64% SBCS Corporation 1,004 1.53% Costco Wholesale 777 1.19% Total 20,065 Table 49 – Major Employers Data Source: 2016-2020 ACS Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: Per Table 46, educational opportunities for the 13,827 residents with less than a high school education 2023 ACS) is one of the most prominent needs for the workforce, as these residents are limited to lower income positions. In addition, opportunities for businesses in the growing sectors of the economy typically provide jobs for the residents with higher education. South San Diego County residents also face many infrastructure challenges including an international border that needs major infrastructure investment. The efficient movement of goods and people safely through these ports of entry are critical to the region’s economy and provide a competitive advantage. Funding is also needed for the construction of new roadways, expansion and maintenance of existing roadways, and other infrastructure projects to accommodate current and projected growth demands. Within the City of Chula Vista, aging infrastructure continues to present challenges to the City in facilitating the revitalization of neighborhoods. The City completed the following planning documents to address these issues: the Urban Core Specific Plan, the Palomar Gateway District Specific Plan, and the Bayfront Specific Plan. Chula Vista voters approved Measure P – a temporary, ten-year, half-cent sales tax to fund high priority infrastructure needs. Collection of the sales tax began April 1, 2017. The sales tax is projected to raise 178 million in the first 10 years. More funds are expected in the next 10 years since voters approved a Page 169 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 90 second term of this sales tax. The Infrastructure, Facilities and Equipment Expenditure Plan guides implementation of Measure P sales tax funds. Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. The Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center opened in the City on May 15, 2025. The opening of this resort is the culmination of decades of planning and development that will have a large economic impact on the City. It is estimated that the Gaylord Resort will generate approximately $500 million annually and create over 4,000 permanent jobs in the area. Due to the high level of planning, infrastructure needs were predetermined and met throughout the construction process. How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? The City has begun to transform the downtown area into a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented residential and commercial center. Nationally, consumer preferences are changing in favor of more compact urban housing types that offer access to retail, services, and transit. The majority of employees in the civilian labor force have a post-secondary education. Generally, the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to the employment opportunities in the City. There are also a variety of job opportunities available in the City, given 53% of the workforce commutes less than 30 minutes to work each day according to Table 45. Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. An educated and highly trained workforce would support existing and new businesses and remove limitations that lead to lower education and lower skilled industry growth. A number of workforce training initiatives and programs are available to Chula Vista residents. The following discussion provides details on the region’s major programs: San Diego Workforce Partnership (SDWP): SDWP has established programs and services promoting self-sufficiency and addressing the current and long-term needs of the region’s employers and job seekers. The network of One-Stop Career Centers and the service providers offer adult and youth employment and training programs, labor market information, employment resources, summer and after-school jobs for youth, and job training for dislocated workers. In addition, SDWP’s Adult Programs Committee provides governance to Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Adult funded programs. Page 170 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 91 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS): Through the Workforce Development Service providers and partnerships established in the CEDS Study Area, job seekers can receive skills training for a wide range of occupations that support existing and emerging businesses. San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council: The Labor Council is the local central body affiliate of the AFL-CIO. It includes 125 affiliated labor groups within San Diego County. Nearly every sector of the workplace is represented in the membership, including the building and construction trades, hotel workers, longshoremen, nurses, fire fighters, teachers and more. The Labor Council provides training in a variety of skills and trades from entry level to journeyman. In the past, the Labor Council has worked alongside the SDWP, community colleges, and local employers to provide a range of job training programs and help meet employers’ need for skilled workers. The Labor Council’s programs also include Vocational English as a Second Language (VESL), pre-employment training in employer and workplace expectations, work ethics, resume preparation and job interviewing skills. A state-of-the-art computer technology center is available to help job seekers improve their English, math, and general computer skills, thereby improving their chances for better jobs. Technical skills are also taught in several trades so clients can be placed with some of the area’s largest union employers. AB109 Public Safety Realignment: Under the direction of the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP), the San Diego Public Safety Agencies, including the Probation Department, Sheriff’s Department, District Attorney’s Office, Public Defender’s Office, came together with the San Diego Superior Court and other key partners, including the Health and Human Services Agency, to develop an AB 109 Implementation Plan focused on maintaining the highest level of public safety and ultimately, striving to reduce recidivism. As the agency charged with managing the realigned population, Probation will also engage community providers to obtain reentry services including educational, job preparation, and vocational training/employment services, cognitive behavioral treatment, family strengthening strategies, restorative justice programs, and housing resources. Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? The City of Chula Vista participated in the development of the County of San Diego Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth. The City is investing in the development of economic growth opportunities for residents and locals through the newly opened Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center as well as through a University Innovation District. The Gaylord Resort is located on the Western side of the City and is creating thousands of permanent job opportunities in a historically underserved community. Conversely, the University Innovation District is being built on the Eastern side of the City and will create space for Page 171 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 92 approximately 20,000 students and 6,000 faculty/staff. This site will also house production studios for different media and will aid in the creation of approximately 8,000 jobs. Discussion Economic development and growth are at the forefront of two major developments in the City and positive outcomes are expected. These projects will benefit Chula Vista residents primarily, and the Southern San Diego region as a whole. MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") Housing problems impact low- and moderate- income households disproportionately, compared to higher income households; thus, areas with concentrations of low- and moderate-income households are likely to have high rates of housing problems. An area of low- and moderate-income concentration is usually defined as a census tract or block group in which the number of low-income persons (defined as persons earning 50 percent or less of the County median income) exceeds 51 percent of the total number of persons. Per the 2020 ACS, there are 70 Census Tract block groups considered to be low- and moderate-income. Overall, low-and moderate- income block groups cover more than half of the City, with high concentrations of low- and moderate- income households in the central core of the City. Based on a review of CPD GIS data, there are specific areas of the City where multiple housing problems are concentrated, nearly all of which are west of the 805 freeway. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") An ethnic concentration occurs when the percentage of a particular ethnic or racial group of residents in the census tract exceeds the County percentage of the same ethnic group. A high concentration occurs when the percentage of a particular ethnic group is more than twice the County-wide average for that same group. Concentrations typically occur for either social or economic reasons. CPD GIS data demonstrates ethnic concentrations exist as follows: Figure 2 shows racial/minority concentrations in the City that are greater than the County percentage of 54.2 percent. As shown in the map, ethnic concentrations exist in most of the City, with high concentrations in only a few tracts. The areas of ethnic concentrations are also tracts with concentrations of low-and moderate-income and housing problems. These concentrations indicate that while the City is diverse, housing patterns have developed which may need to be considered when addressing housing needs, minority outreach, and Page 172 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 93 fair housing planning. The geographic concentrations of the Hispanic population generally overlap with the concentrations of low- and moderate-income residents. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? The City also has a large population of Asian residents. While Asian residents still make up a small proportion of the City (approximately 15.5 percent), the proportion of Asian residents in Chula Vista is slightly higher than the California overall. Refer to the Figure 2 map below for minority concentration areas. In Chula Vista, the areas of low- and moderate-income concentrations and minority concentrations generally overlap. These areas also correlate with the concentration of the City’s multi-family housing and rental housing. According to the 2020 Census, Chula Vista has a 58.7 percent homeownership rate. Which translates into approximately 41.3% of City households are renters. The average household size for households (3.25 persons) in Chula Vista was higher than the California as a whole of 2.94 persons). As previously discussed, lower income renter-households had disproportionate affordable housing need. All these characteristics point to significant housing assistance needs among lower income renter- households in these areas. In Chula Vista, the areas of low- and moderate-income concentrations and minority concentrations generally overlap. These areas also correlate with the concentration of the City’s multi-family housing and rental housing. According to the 2023 ACS Data, Chula Vista has a 62.11 percent homeownership rate. Which translates into approximately 37.9% of City households are renters. The average household size for households (3.10 persons) in Chula Vista was higher than the California as a whole of 2.86 persons). As previously discussed, lower income renter-households had disproportionate affordable housing need. All these characteristics point to significant housing assistance needs among lower income renter-households in these areas. April 2025 data from the multiple listing service (MLS) shows the median sale price of a home as $950,000. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? The City has a strong network of active and dedicated nonprofit organizations and community groups that work to address the housing and community development needs in these neighborhoods and the City at large. The following service agencies are located in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods: Salvation Army San Ysidro Health Clinic Family Health Centers of San Diego South Bay Community Services MAAC Project South County Economic Development Cooperation Various churches provide meals and services to the homeless Page 173 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 94 Catholic Charities Chula Vista Friends of the Library Police Activity League (Chula Vista) Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? Yes, there are other strategic opportunities in some of these areas, including the Chula Vista Bayfront. There are other properties in low- and moderate-income areas that have development opportunities. Other sections of the City have been rated as potential developable using sustainability measures. Figure 4 below shows transit access to major employers and medical occupations in relation to the low- and moderate-income areas. The City will strategically spend funds and seek projects in these areas which overlap low- and moderate-income areas, as well as areas of racial concentrations, and areas with high rates of disabled residents. Figure 1 LMA Map Page 174 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 95 Figure 2 Racial/Ethnic Concentration Map Page 175 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 96 Figure 3 Affordable Housing Page 176 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 97 Figure 4 Employers and Transportation MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate-Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2) Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate- income households and neighborhoods. The Digital Divide refers to the differing amount of information between those who have access to the Internet (especially broadband access) and those who do not have access. Efforts to narrow the digital divide in low-income communities include providing broadband infrastructure to communities in need of such infrastructure. Broadband is the common term used to refer to a very fast connection to the Internet. Such connections are also referred to as high-speed. CDBG funds may be used to install wiring, fiber optic cables, and permanently affixed equipment such as receivers for areas to receive broadband/internet access. Eligible activities include acquisition, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or installation of public facilities and improvements to digital literacy classes. Public services Page 177 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 98 may include the installation of satellite dishes and similar equipment in private homes or the provision of wireless routers and/or computers to income-eligible persons or households. There is a monthly cost for accessing Internet service, and some households may be unable to afford the cost. Subsidizing the cost on behalf of an individual or family would be eligible as public service. Pew Research reported that 31.4 percent of households whose annual income fall below $50,000 with children ages 6 to 17, do not have high-speed internet connection at home which places low-income students at a learning disadvantage to their counterparts. In the City of Chula Vista, similar disparities in Internet usage and device access exit. Despite 94.5 percent of the city having broadband coverage, not all residents have the devices or subscriptions to access the Internet. From census data in 2023, an estimated 3,463 residents (or 3.9 percent of households) did not have access to digital devices and over 4,823individuals (5.47 percent) did not have a broadband Internet subscription. Analysis by neighborhood shows that there is an East and West digital divide in the city, with the West side displaying lower rates of Internet access and use. The City of Chula Vista adopted a Digital Equity and Inclusion Plan. For further information please visit here https://www.chulavistaca.gov/businesses/smart-city/internet-access Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction. Weak competition yields high prices for consumers and little pressure for companies to upgrade their networks to offer better service. Affordability of services, devices, and training is a central barrier to Internet access. In Chula Vista, the average monthly cost for Internet is $30. 8012 Starting rates range from $14.95 - $49. 99 per month and 3. 2 percent of Chula Vista residents have access to only one or no wired Internet service providers at their address (wired Internet service is hard wired to the provider and implies the use of cable, DSL or ROS to connect as opposed to a wireless Internet service). Choice between multiple service providers is essential because competition can encourage providers to keep rates low and fair. Although there are low-cost internet programs available in the area, there are barriers to entry, including previous outstanding balances on Internet bills or having a current or recent active subscription. In California, the California Public Utilities Commission authorized the California Advanced Services Fund CASF) through the adoption of Assembly Bill (AB) 1655 on December 20, 2007. The CASF provides grants to “telephone corporations” to bridge the “digital divide” in unserved and underserved areas in the state. With an initial funding of $100 million, the CASF supports projects that will a) provide broadband services to areas currently without broadband access and b) build out facilities in underserved areas, if funds are still available. Under existing statute, households in census blocks offered wireline and/or fixed wireless service broadband Internet service at speeds of 6 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream or greater are considered served. The California Interactive Page 178 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 99 Broadband Map found at https://www.broadbandmap.ca.gov provides mapped records of wireline, wireless, and fixed wireless broadband coverage across California. Wireline broadband Internet access service provides a physical connection to a physical location (a home or business) through a cable fixed network. Whereas wireless broadband Internet access service connects a home or business to the Internet using a radio link between the customer’s location and the service provider’s facility. Wireless broadband can be mobile or fixed. Chula Vista’s rate of broadband Internet access is 98 percent. The most widely used method of accessing broadband Internet services is mobile wireless Internet service. There are 2 Internet providers in Chula Vista offering residential service. There are 4 companies offering business Internet services. Real estate developers and builders have new obligations under one of HUD’s new rules, “Narrowing the Digital Divide Through Installation of Broadband Infrastructure in HUD-Funded New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation of Multifamily Rental Housing” (published Dec. 20) that would provide residents and their children the opportunity to bridge the digital divide by connecting to the world of opportunity. Under the final rule governing installation of broadband, any new and substantially rehabilitated public housing project of four or more units must include infrastructure capable of supporting broadband access to residents as of Jan. 19, 2020, unless the federal fund recipient can document one of three grounds for waivers. MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3) Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change. Chula Vista has several natural hazards risks that could increase with climate change. Fire Risk: A large portion of the City of Chula Vista is located within a High and Very High hazard area for wildfires. Frequency and intensity of fires is expected to increase with climate change. Flood Risk: The floodplains of the Sweetwater and Otay Rivers and several of their tributaries have the potential to flood during a 100-year storm. Portions of the City are also subject to flood inundation in the event of the failure of the Sweetwater, Upper Otay, or Savage (Lower Otay) dams. The potential for 100-tear storms is expected to increase with climate change. Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods. Low lying areas of the City at risk of flooding are inhabited primarily by low-and moderate-income families. These areas are also home to the City’s older housing stock and structures that pose an increased risk of damage. Page 179 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 100 Strategic Plan SP-05 Overview Strategic Plan Overview During the development of the City's FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, which forms the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the Strategic Plan and five subsequent Annual Action Plans, the following priority needs, and objectives were established: Priority 1: Affordable Housing (DH-2) [High Need]- Promote, preserve, and assist in the development of affordable housing for low- and moderate- income residents, special needs groups, those at-risk of homelessness, and disproportionately impacted residents. Priority 2: Infrastructure and Facilities (SL-1) [High Need]- Improve and expand infrastructure and facilities that benefit primarily residential low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Priority 3: Public Services (SL-1) [High Need]- Provide and improve access to public services for low- and moderate-income persons and those with special needs. Public Services will be funded based on applications received for a variety of services, including, but not limited to: Senior Services, Disabled Services, Youth Services, General Public Services, Homeless Facilities/Supportive Services, Victims of Domestic Violence Services, Abused and Neglected Children, Foster Youth, Illiterate Adults, and other special needs. Priority 4: Economic Development (EO-1) [High Need]- Provide for the economic development needs of low- and moderate-income persons and neighborhood target areas. Priority 5: Administration and Planning (SL-1) [High Need]- Provide for administration and planning activities to develop housing and community development strategies and programs needed to carry out actions that address identified needs in the Consolidated Plan in accordance with HUD regulations and provide Fair Housing services for all residents. Priority 6: Address Homelessness (SL-1) [High Need]- Provide for programs to address the needs of the homeless population. These Priority Needs form the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction during the next five-year period, beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2029. They are a result of various community outreach efforts and consultation meetings developed under the Citizen Participation process. During the course of the next five years the City anticipates receiving approximately $12,000,000 of CDBG, $3,500,000 of HOME, and $1,000,000 of ESG funds per year to address the above-mentioned activities to meet the priorities and corresponding goals of the Consolidated Plan, all of which were determined to be a High Priority needs level. All of the priorities are consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG and HOME programs to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents. The City is able to provide these programs through collaboration and coordination with local nonprofit agencies that provide direct services to Page 180 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 101 Chula Vista residents. Over the next five years, the City will continue this emphasis and will also use these resources to support City sponsored programs and activities that support the goals and objectives of this Plan and to meet the worst-case needs of residents.

N/A City-Wide Table 50 - Geographic Priority Areas Table 51 - Geographic Priority Areas General Allocation Priorities Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA) The six Priority Needs established in the Strategic Plan form the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction during the next five-year period, beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2029. They are a result of various community outreach efforts and consultation meetings developed under the Citizen Participation process. During the course of the next five years the City anticipates receiving approximately $12,000,000 of CDBG, $3,500,000 of HOME, and $1,000,000 of ESG funds per year to address the above-mentioned activities to meet the priorities and corresponding goals of the Consolidated Plan, all of which were determined to be a High Priority needs level. Geographic distribution of funding is based on the nature of the activity to be funded. The City intends to fund activities in areas most directly impacted by the needs of low- and moderate-income residents and those with other special needs. Approximately 15 percent of the City’s CDBG allocation will be provided for public service activities, which are provided to low- and moderate-income residents throughout the community. An additional 20 percent will be allocated to Administration and Planning and fair housing services administered by the Legal Aid Society of San Diego in 2025-26, which are also provided to low- and moderate-income residents throughout the community. The remaining 65 percent, and any unexpended Administration funds from the prior year will be designated for Capital Projects administered by the Public Works Department which take place in the primarily residential low- and moderate-income areas. All of the priorities are consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG and HOME programs to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents. The City is able to provide these programs through collaboration and coordination with local nonprofit agencies that provide direct services to Chula Vista residents. Over the next five years, the City will continue this emphasis and will also use these resources to support City sponsored programs and activities that support the goals and objectives of this Plan and to meet the worst-case needs of residents. Page 182 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 103 Chula Vista is the second largest city in San Diego County. The City encompasses approximately 52 square miles of land area from San Diego Bay eastward to Otay Lakes and includes most of the land between Sweetwater River to the north and the Otay River to the south. The Bayfront, rivers, hills define Chula Vista. Located minutes from downtown San Diego and the U.S-Mexico border, Chula Vista has convenient access to the regions cultural, recreational, educational, and business opportunities. Specific community data is described below and the location of the low- and moderate-income areas can be found on the Map. Communities The City’s communities can be distinguished by geographic planning areas that follow the overall development patterns of the City. Northwest – That area north of L Street and east of Interstate 5, also referred to as the City’s historic urban core; Southwest – That area south of L Street, generally encompassing those neighborhoods included within the Montgomery annexation of 1985; East – That area east of Interstate 805, generally encompassing master planned communities developed from the early 1990’s; and, Bayfront – That area west of Interstate-5 and north of L Street, currently underdeveloped with some development and large vacant waterfront properties. Geographic Allocations While the City has not established specific target areas to focus the investment of CDBG/HOME/ESG funds, specific geographic distribution of investments, infrastructure improvements and public facilities will be focused primarily in areas of concentrations of low- and moderate-income population which are primarily located within the Northwest and Southwest areas of the City. The Figure 4 map above contains a list of block groups illustrating the low- and moderate- income areas in the City (defined as a block group where at least 51 percent of the population with incomes not exceeding 80 percent of the Area Median Income). For community-wide activities, income verification is used to ensure low-to moderate-income beneficiary levels.

Table 52 – Priority Needs Summary Table 51 – Priority Needs Summary SP-30 Influence of Market Conditions – 91.215 (b) Influence of Market Conditions Affordable Housing Type Market Characteristics that will influence the use of funds available for housing type Tenant Based Rental Assistance TBRA) The City of Chula Vista receives approximately $900,000 annually in HOME funds. Approximately 3,224 households are already participating in the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8 program). There are 4 existing public housing projects in Chula Vista. Given the limited funding and existing rental assistance programs, the City may utilize HOME TBRA funds to specifically assist special needs population and/or displaced residents. The higher market-rate rents in East Chula Vista will limit the ability of Housing Choice Voucher holders and TBRA programs to successfully obtain rental housing within this area. Page 187 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 108 Affordable Housing Type Market Characteristics that will influence the use of funds available for housing type TBRA for Non- Homeless Special Needs The City of Chula Vista receives approximately $900,000 annually in HOME funds. Approximately 3,224 households are already participating in the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8 program). There are 4 existing public housing projects in Chula Vista. Given the limited funding and existing rental assistance programs, the City may utilize HOME TBRA funds to specifically assist special needs population and/or displaced residents. The higher market-rate rents in East Chula Vista will limit the ability of Housing Choice Voucher holders and TBRA programs to successfully obtain rental housing within this area. New Unit Production The majority of the City’s lower and moderate-income households (67%) experience a housing cost burden, paying more than 30% of their income towards housing costs. The supply of affordable housing is limited compared to the need. Based on funding availability and allocations, the City may allocate a portion of its HOME or CDBG funds to increase the supply of safe, decent, affordable housing for lower income households (including extremely low- income households), particularly for those large families, disabled, the homeless, and those at risk of homelessness. Rehabilitation The age of the housing is often an indicator of housing conditions. In general, housing that is 30 years or older may need minor repair, with housing over 50 years old more likely to generate major repairs. In Chula Vista, the majority (62 percent) of Chula Vista’s housing is at least 30 years or older. The City will provide assistance to rehabilitate owner-occupied single-family homes and to rehabilitate multi-family units to preserve or increase the City’s affordable housing stock. No funding will be spent on owner occupied rehabilitation for properties built after 1985. Acquisition, including preservation The Housing Element identified 501 assisted housing units that are considered at risk” of converting to market-rate housing over the next ten years. The City will work toward the preservation of these units. The City will also pursue acquisition/rehabilitation of multi-family housing and deed restricting the improved units as affordable housing. Table 52 – Influence of Market Conditions Population Growth Since the last Consolidated Plan, the City’s population increased by 4 percent from 257,300 to 268,780 11,480 people); the number of households increased by 2 percent from 78,065 to 79,485 (1,420 households); and the Median Income increased 32 percent from $65,185 to $86,132 ($20,947). The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) has forecasted that the City of Chula Vista’s population will increase by approximately 17 percent, while housing units and households will each increase by about Page 188 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 109 30 percent by 2050. The current growth trend is substantially slower than during the last Consolidated Plan. Race and Ethnicity It is important that the City consider the racial and ethnic composition of residents when planning for housing and community development needs, including fair housing. The City’s current Racial/Ethnic composition is mostly Hispanic (60 percent), White (17 percent), and Asian (16 percent). This differs from the County, where percentages are 34 percent Hispanic, 45 percent White, and 13 percent Asian. Racial/Minority Concentration HUD typically defines a minority concentration as any tract where the neighborhood’s total percentage of minority persons is at least 20 percentage points higher than the total percentage of all minorities for the MSA as a whole. However, some sources have defined concentration as twice the percentage of the County or ten percentage points more than the citywide proportion. The figure below shows racial/minority concentrations in the City that are greater than the County percentage of 54.2 percent. As shown in the map, ethnic concentrations exist in most of the City, with high concentrations in only a few tracts. The areas of ethnic concentrations are also tracts with concentrations of low-and moderate- income and housing problems. These concentrations indicate that while the City is diverse, housing patterns have developed which may need to be considered when addressing housing needs and fair housing planning.

The City anticipates receiving similar amounts of HUD funds annually during the five- year period beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2030, resulting in approximately $12,000,000 of CDBG funds, $3,500,000 of HOME funds, and $1,000,000 of ESG funds during the Consolidated Planning period. Program income is generated from loan payoffs and is difficult to estimate; however, based on historical amounts receipted each year, the City anticipates approximately $50,000 annually for a total of approximately $250,000 of additional resources during the Consolidated Plan period. Program income received from the repayment of rehabilitation loans (CDBG and HOME), First-Time Homebuyer loans, and residual receipt payments will be automatically re-programmed for loan activities in those same or similar programs from which the funds were originally provided to the greatest extent possible. These funds will otherwise be re-programmed for tenant-based rental assistance programs. If additional program income funds are received that are not automatically reprogrammed, specific projects will be identified during the mid-year re-allocation process or Annual Action Plan.

Table 53 - Anticipated Resources Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied The City of Chula Vista has successfully leveraged funds from federal, state, local and private resources to complete several Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and affordable housing developments in the City’s low- income communities. The most recent CIP projects with leveraged funds are 1) Casa Anita March 2023, City Housing Authority Low and- Moderate Income Housing funds (LMIHF), No Place Like Home NPLH), and 96 affordable units; and 2) Columba, completed in December 2023, used LIHTC, CDLAC bond, and private financing to construct 198 units. In addition, the leveraged funding from private and non-federal public sources are as follows: Page 192 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 113 Federal Resources: Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, HUD Veterans Affairs supportive Housing (HUD-VASH), Supportive Housing for the Elderly Section 202), Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811), Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), Youthbuild, Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program State Resources: State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN), CalHome Program, Multifamily Housing Program (MHP), Housing Related Parks Grant, CalHFA Single and Multi-Family Program, Mental Health Service Act MHSA) Funding Local Resources: Housing Authority of the County of San Diego, Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA) Funding Private Resources: Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP), Community Reinvestment Act Programs, United Way Funding, Private Contributions, Matching Requirements HOME: HUD requires HOME recipients to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.222. ESG: The City must ensure that ESG funds are matched "dollar for dollar" in accordance with HUD regulations. Matching contributions may be obtained from any source, including Federal source other than ESG program, as well as state, local, and private sources. Additionally, under the ESG program, the recipient may require its subrecipients to make matching contributions consistent with this section to help meet the recipient's matching requirement. If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan There is relatively little availability of publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that can be used to address the needs identified in the plan.

This is accomplished through membership in the Regional Continuum of Care Council CoC) and the South Bay Homeless Alliance. The South Region Homeless Alliance includes representation from local organizations including south county cities (San Diego, Chula Vista, National City, Imperial Beach, Coronado as well as unincorporated County of San Diego areas such as Bonita and Spring Valley. The Alliance also includes representation from the Chula Vista Schools faith-based organizations and a diverse group of social service agencies. The City of Chula Vista formed a Homeless Outreach Team (HOT), which is made up of police officers, various City departments and representatives of community outreach organizations. This team has been tasked with analyzing environmental and societal factors related to quality of life in Chula Vista as it relates to homelessness, developing strategies to deal with these factors, and implementing these strategies for the betterment of everyone. The City of Chula Vista will utilize Emergency Solutions Grant funds in accordance with guidelines established by the RCCC Steering Committee, as described below: Leverage existing resources to achieve the program’s match and case management requirements; Page 195 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 116 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. While services are available to Chula Vista residents, the level of services available is not adequate to meet the needs. With an ESG entitlement of $206,837 and a 15% public services cap of $351,955, there is limited funding to deliver services to all of the groups. Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above Gaps There is a variety of services for special needs populations and persons in experiencing homelessness in Chula Vista. However, major gaps in service delivery system exist: Inadequate funding to provide the level of services needed (ESG Entitlement of $206,837, and 15% of CDBG public services cap of $351,955). Lack of coordination among regional Prioritizing which population groups to serve with limited resources; and Lack of sustainable funding sources. Strengths Strengths include working with the local Regional Continuum of Care to establish coordinated efforts to serve special needs populations and those experiencing homelessness. One of the models that is being used is the Housing First model, where homeless individuals who are high utilizers of public services are provided with housing along with extensive case management and health services. The services usually include mental health services. In addition, the local groups such as Keys to Housing, and the San Diego Housing Federation policy group are just a few key organizations that are working with local governmental entities and non-profits to map out how to best serve these population groups. Additionally, the coordination efforts and leveraging brought by the Homeless Outreach Team has provided the City with tremendous opportunities to provide our most vulnerable with immediate services needed.

Through collaboration, the City identifies common goals and strategies to avoid overlaps in services and programs and identify potential leveraging resources. To help bridge the funding gap, the City allocates the maximum allowable 15 percent of the CDBG funds to support much needed services. In addition, the City proactively pursues funding at the local, State, and Federal funds to leverage CDBG and HOME funds. The extraordinary efforts the City undertook to achieve a Housing Element certification from the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) were intended to maintain the City’s eligibility for State housing funds.

The HACSD is not under a VCA. Activities to Increase Resident Involvements The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) is the lead agency responsible for the public housing units in the City of Chula Vista. As outlined in the HACSD PHA Plan, to encourage and increase public housing resident involvement, the HACSD continues to offer scholarships to public housing residents who are attending two- or four-year colleges or vocational training. To stimulate public housing resident interest and involvement, the HACSD produces monthly public housing resident newsletters publicizing important information of interest to the residents, such as ROSS grant programs, activities and achievements. The grant funds a service coordinator to coordinate supportive services and other activities designed to help and encourage the involvement of public housing residents in attaining economic and housing self-sufficiency. The coordinator provides services to residents of HACSD’s 117 rent-restricted public housing units. Services provided, thus far, include assistance in establishing a food delivery program to the senior/disabled complex, disaster preparedness plans, vials of life to record pertinent medical information, resume’ building workshops, access to career fairs, community resource guides, resources to provide low- cost eyeglasses and assistance with the disability benefits application process. As discussed in the PHA plan, public housing residents are encouraged to join the RAB, which meets several times a year. RAB meeting topics included the public housing scholarship program, the public housing budget, the Consolidated Plan overview, fair housing, security deposit and homeless assistance, communication barriers for those with limited English proficiency, family self-sufficiency, the ROSS grant, efforts to end homelessness, and the new on-line application portal. Annually, residents are encouraged to attend a Capital Funding and Resident Services meeting. The meeting discusses the many services available to residents including transportation to medical appointments and stores, transportation to domestic violence groups, senior/disabled transportation to special events on weekends, emergency food assistance, employment services, fair housing services, clothing assistance as well as many other services. Is the public housing agency designated as troubled under 24 CFR part 902? No Plan to remove the ‘troubled’ designation Page 202 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 123 The City of Chula Vista does not operate its own public housing agency. The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) serves as the City’s public housing agency. HACSD is not designated as a troubled agency. SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h) Barriers to Affordable Housing Public policies directly and indirectly impact affordable housing development and residential investment; both positively and negatively. Providing for a range of housing types and prices allows residents of all ages and incomes the opportunity to find adequate housing that meets their needs and ability to pay; however, there are often barriers that prevent residents finding decent affordable housing. Barriers to the development of affordable housing occur at all three levels of government, as well as in the private market and within the community. Local government cannot control many factors that tend to restrict housing supply, especially those that relate to regional, national, and international economy. However, they do have control over several policies which are examined in this section. At the federal level, an executive order has recently been issued to establish the White House Council on Eliminating Barriers to Affordable Housing Development (chaired by HUD Secretary Ben Carson), to address, reduce, and remove the multitude of overly burdensome regulatory barriers that artificially raise the cost of housing development and help to cause a lack of housing supply. The goal is to loosen restrictive zoning and building regulations, increase the supply of housing, and bring housing costs down. At the state level California’s housing-element law acknowledges that, in order for the private market to adequately address the housing needs and demand of Californians, local governments must adopt plans and regulatory systems that provide opportunities for (and do not unduly constrain), housing development. A variety of requirements and regulations can impede a community’s ability to respond quickly to the growing need for housing, including zoning restrictions, land use regulations, low density requirements, off-street parking requirements, preservation or environmental impact regulations, and permitting processes, among other factors. Typically, such housing policies and processes are controlled at the local government level. While the authority to regulate land use is delegated primarily to local governments, states have the constitutional authority to reduce or remove regulations that drive up housing costs, offer financial and technical support for local communities to zone for affordable housing, and empower municipalities to use their own resources to create incentives for development. California has tried to streamline permitting processes and ease restrictive zoning laws that hinder the development of affordable housing and enacted legislation allowing fewer parking spaces in housing developments to increase affordability in areas close to public transit and promote the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in single-family and multifamily residential neighborhoods. Still, California is one of the most highly regulated of the 50 States, ranking number 9 on the Wharton Residential Land Use Regulation Index (WRLURI). Page 203 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 124 Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing The City of Chula Vista works to remove barriers to affordable housing while still protecting the health and safety of its residents by taking actions to reduce costs or providing off-setting financing incentives to assist in the production of safe, high quality, affordable housing. To mitigate the impacts of these barriers the City may: Apply for State and federal funding to gap finance affordable housing production and rehabilitation of existing affordable housing stock. Continue to streamline the environmental review process for housing developments, using available state categorical exemptions and federal categorical exclusions, when applicable. Provide training opportunities in the area of CEQA and NEPA as needed so staff gain expertise in the preparation of environmental review documents. Continue to improve the permit processing and planning approval processes to minimize delay in housing development in general and affordable housing development in particular. Continue providing rehabilitation assistance and homeownership assistance, and to assist in the construction and preservation of affordable housing. Encourage public participation when a proposed project is being considered for approval. Implement policies and strategies identified in the 2021-2029 Housing Element. The City works to remove barriers to affordable housing by implementing a Housing Element that is consistent with California law and taking actions to reduce costs or provide off-setting incentives to assist in the production of safe, high-quality, affordable housing. The City is committed to removing governmental constraints that hinder the production of housing, as evidenced by the numerous affordable housing developments that have occurred over the last few years. To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the City will invest HOME to promote home ownership opportunities and the preservation of existing affordable housing units over the next five years. Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds, the City will continue to leverage its HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources. New transit- oriented development strategies and the massive investments in the Streets and other areas of community development should also attract investors and developers. This strategy will increase the supply of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing in the City. The City will also contract with the Legal Aid Society of San Diego to address any impediments to Fair Housing Choice. SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d) Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs Page 204 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 125 The City continues its commitment to alleviating and ending homelessness in Chula Vista and seeks to expand on the success of the Housing First initiative. Many new resources flowing to the City will further address the immediate and long-term needs of the homeless population. These include funding from ESG and CDBG CARES Act funds, and Homelessness Emergency Aid Program (HEAP). With use of HEAP funds, the City was able to launch its first coordinated outreach in partnership with the Alpha Project. The City’s Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) is a partnership with an assigned County Psychiatric Emergency Response Team (PERT) member, the Chula Vista Police Department, San Diego County Mental Health technicians, The Department of Housing and Homeless Services and social service partners. The goal of the HOT is to provide outreach and engagement through supportive and social services. Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City will utilize Emergency Solutions Grant funds in accordance with the guidelines established by the RCCC to assist homeless persons, including those accessing emergency and transitional housing detailed below: 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. While services are available to Chula Vista residents, the level of services available is not adequate to meet the needs. With a limited ESG Entitlement and a 15% public services cap on CDBG, there is limited funding to deliver services to all of the groups listed above. For homeless services, each Sub-recipient Agreement includes goals and objectives to ensure that clients make the transition from being homeless to having a permanent residence. The two social service providers that serve these populations in Chula Vista are South Bay Community Services and Interfaith Shelter Network. The Chula Vista Police Department also provides some level of services to residents who are being discharged from local jail facilities. 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 Page 205 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 126 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 ultimate solution to ending homelessness is transitional to permanent housing closely aligned with supportive services that ensure housing stability can be maintained. However, because the demand for affordable housing far outpaces the region’s supply, the CoC continues to rely on its emergency and transitional housing system in order to address the immediate needs of the County’s homeless population. The City will continue its efforts in addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons by collaborating with agencies that provide shelter for the homeless. The City implemented its Zoning Ordinance, which allows for emergency shelters and transitional housing, with or without discretionary approval in the Overlay zone per State Law. The City will assist in addressing gaps to serving the homeless through the newly established Homeless Task Force. Annually, the City uses 15 percent of the CDBG allocation to provide public and supportive services for homeless, low- and moderate-income residents, as well as those with special needs. Homeless supportive services may include emergency rent relief and utility subsidies and emergency food distribution. The City’s Department of Housing and Homeless Services allocated over $1,000,000 of funding to provide tenant based rental assistance vouchers to serve the City’s low-income families, with a primary focus on the homeless population. In the summer of 2021, the City completed construction on a new homeless bridge shelter. The goal of which is to partner with an operator to provide necessary services to transition to a permanent housing solution. Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs The City will continue its efforts in 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 by collaborating with agencies that provide shelter for the homeless. The City will also provide referrals to public assistance programs offered by other agencies and continue supporting these types of programs through the public service category of the CDBG Program.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? The City’s implementation of the CHIP program allows low-income households to improve the safety of their homes and reduce the risks posed by LBP. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The program detailed above is included in all planning documents of the City’s Department of Housing and Homeless Services. SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j) Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families The City’s programs promote the production of affordable housing which allows low-income households to improve their quality of life and life with reduced housing cost burden. How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan The goals are comprised of affordable house and incorporated in the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element of the General Plan. SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230 Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements. City staff from the Department of Housing and Homeless Services conduct monitoring visits of subrecipients bi-annually to ensure compliance with plan requirements. This also includes ensuring the annual Notice of Sunding Availability is marked equitable to minority enterprises within the City.

The City anticipates receiving similar amounts of HUD funds annually during the five- year period beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2030, resulting in approximately $12,000,000 of CDBG funds, $3,500,000 of HOME funds, and $1,000,000 of ESG funds during the Consolidated Planning period. Program income is generated from loan payoffs and is difficult to estimate; however, based on historical amounts receipted each year, the City anticipates approximately $50,000 annually for a total of approximately $250,000 of additional resources during the Consolidated Plan period. Program income received from the repayment of rehabilitation loans (CDBG and HOME), First-Time Homebuyer loans, and residual receipt payments will be automatically re-programmed for loan activities in those same or similar programs from which the funds were originally provided to the greatest extent possible. These funds will otherwise be re-programmed for tenant-based rental assistance programs. If additional program income funds are received that are not automatically reprogrammed, specific projects will be identified during the mid-year re-allocation process or Annual Action Plan.

The projects are consistent with the citizen input received during the development of the Consolidated Plan. One of the greatest challenges in meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income persons is having limited financial resources. The City will continue to use CDBG funding to support public service agencies that address the special needs of the underserved, including the elderly and frail elderly and persons belonging to protected classes that have been the victims of housing discrimination. The City also proactively seeks additional resources to better meet the underserved needs. The City has a detailed list of approved Capital Improvement Projects that demonstrate a general public need but, due to the loss of redevelopment, funding is scarce. Federal funds are used to serve the target community, meet the established goals for these funds, and to serve the greatest number of members of the community. The City will use its existing HOME Investment Partnership funds to provide First Time Homebuyer assistance, Acquisition and Rehabilitation of existing housing stock for affordable housing, preservation of affordable housing, and new construction of affordable housing. For public services, the City utilizes CDBG funds. CDBG regulations, limit the amount the City can spend on public services and is capped at 15% of the City’s annual entitlement. The City provides funding to non-profit organizations that demonstrate an ability to provide needed services that directly benefit the residents of the Chula Vista. The use of the City of Chula Vista CDBG funds for public services enables non-profit organization and City Departments to leverage these funds with other funding sources for projects and activities that serve the greatest number of residents with the limited amount of funding.

As previously stated, the assignment of priority levels is primarily a result of input from public and private agencies responding to the City's Housing and Community Development Needs Survey, consultation interviews, and statistical data compiled from the Needs Assessment. Only eligible activities that received a High Page 237 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 158 priority level in the Consolidated Plan, will be funded. Discussion See the narratives above. Affordable Housing AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g) Introduction As stated, there are limited opportunities and funding available to provide affordable housing opportunities. The City will attempt to seek new partnerships in the upcoming year. During FY 2025- 2026, the City will address affordable housing needs as follows: One Year Goals for the Number of Households to be Supported Homeless 0 Non-Homeless 120 Special-Needs 60 Total 180 Table 35 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Requirement One Year Goals for the Number of Households Supported Through Rental Assistance 60 The Production of New Units 100 Rehab of Existing Units 10 Acquisition of Existing Units 10 Total 180 Table 36 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Type Discussion The Strategic Plan identifies a high priority need to expand the supply of affordable housing and a high priority need to preserve the supply of affordable housing. During FY 2025-2026, the City will invest CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds in the preservation of affordable housing units. Page 238 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 159 AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h) Introduction The City of Chula Vista does not operate a public housing agency. The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) serves as the City’s public housing agency for the four Public Housing projects located in the City of Chula Vista. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs of public housing The City of Chula Vista consults with the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego concerning consideration of the local public housing agency (PHA) needs and planned program activities. The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) operates four conventional public housing developments in Chula Vista, with a total of 121 units. They are all managed by Terrantino Property Management and were recently upgraded to meet ADA and Section 504 These public housing units include: Dorothy Street Manor- 22 low-income family units Melrose Manor- 24 low-income family units Town Centre Manor- 59 low-income senior/disabled units L Street Manor- 16 low-income family units Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership The City encourages public housing residents to participate in policy, procedure and program implementation and development through its Housing Advisory Committee (HAC). The HAC is an appointed Board representing Chula Vista residents, including public housing and elderly residents. The HAC serves as an organized spokesperson to participate and provide feedback on housing issues and housing development projects. Public housing residents are encouraged to participate in homeownership programs. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance Page 239 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 160 N/A- The PHA is not designated as troubled. Discussion See Narratives above. AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction As noted, one of the Con Plan goals calls for "assisting individuals and families to stabilize in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis or homelessness, by providing client-appropriate housing and support services." Actions undertaken to achieve this goal include the allocation of ESG and CDBG funds totaling to assist homeless households via the Interfaith Rotational Shelter, Casa Nueva Vida Transitional Shelter, the Hotel/Motel Voucher Program, the Tenant-based Rental Assistance Program and the new Homeless Bridge Shelter. 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 Goal 1: Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs. Action: In addition to the 1-year goals specified in the AP-20 Homelessness Goal, the City continues to participate as a member in the Regional Task Force on Homelessness (RTFH) and its Coordinated Entry System (CES) which has become an umbrella for local efforts. The RTFH built a regional system for coordinated assessment. The RTFH received guidance from HUD Technical Assistance and established the CES, a region-wide system to assess and place homeless individuals and families in housing, which ensures compliance with the HEARTH Act. CES uses a coordinated assessment tool to determine a homeless person’s level and type of need and match the person to an appropriate housing resource. The City partners with McAlister Institute to work alongside our Homeless Outreach Team (HOT). The team is equipped with a PERT clinician, a social worker from the Health and Human Services Agency and other social service organizations to conduct routine outreach efforts throughout the city, particularly along encampments. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Goal 2: Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons. Action: The City is committed to increasing resources to help homeless persons. While many efforts are Page 240 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 161 focused on the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) Housing First Model, which aims to help homeless individuals and families quickly and easily access and sustain permanent housing, emergency and transitional housing programs are also receiving benefit from these resources too. The new Bridge Shelter serves approximately 60 persons daily by providing not only a safe, stable shelter environment, but direct connection to housing navigation staff at the shelter. The staff’s main focus is to rapidly rehouse shelter residents into permanent housing or other long-term housing option. This process depends on the homeless person’s vulnerability assessment, and CES housing resource match opportunities. Shelter residents work with Housing Navigators in a stable environment, while also having access to a multitude of resources, for assistance with documentation, meeting medical and mental health needs, benefit eligibility, etc. 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 Goal 3: 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. Action: The City subcontracts with local providers to assist families and individuals in short-term housing programs to move to permanent housing via the Rapid Re-Housing intervention. The goals of the program are to help clients to move quickly from homelessness to stably housed. This program provides households with security and utility deposits, and short or medium-term rental assistance. Clients receive case management targeted to housing stability. 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 Goal 4: 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, Page 241 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 162 employment, education, or youth needs. Action: The City utilizes its Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program which aims to assists low-income individuals and families who are at risk of becoming homeless. Discussion See Narratives above. AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j) Introduction: Public policies directly and indirectly impact affordable housing development and residential investment; both positively and negatively. Providing for a range of housing types and price points allows residents of all ages and income levels the opportunity to find adequate housing that meets their needs and financial capabilities; however, there are often barriers that prevent residents finding decent affordable housing. Barriers to the development of affordable housing occur at all three levels of government, as well as in the private market and within the community. Local government cannot control many factors that tend to restrict housing supply, especially those that relate to regional, national, and international economy. However, they do have control over several policies which are examined in the City's Housing Element. 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 Public policies directly and indirectly impact affordable housing development and residential investment; both positively and negatively.

Page 242 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 163 AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Introduction: HUD requires that cities receiving block grant funds take actions to affirmatively further fair housing choice. Fair housing choice is achieved by ensuring that persons are not denied housing opportunity because of their race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, or familial status (family with children). Cities report on the progress of affirmatively furthering fair house choice by completing an Analysis of Impediments (AI). The AI is a review of the nature and extent of impediments to fair housing choice in the San Diego County and the City of Chula Vista. The last two AIs have been produced in collaboration with the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing (SDRAFH), formerly known as the Fair Housing Resources Board (FHRB). The SDRAFH is a dedicated group of professionals who work together to ensure that all residents in San Diego County have equal access to housing. It is comprised of members of the fair housing community, local jurisdictions, enforcement agencies and housing providers. This group leverages the region’s CDBG funds to produce the AI for the region. The SDRAFH completed an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) for the period of 2020 through 2025. The City of Chula Vista is an active member of the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing and serves as the member of the Steering Committee. The City of Chula Vista affirmatively furthers fair housing by contracting for the provision of fair housing services and conducting fair housing testing to detect any fair housing violations. The services include education and outreach to residents and housing providers, assistance with submitting fair housing complaints to HUD, legal services, and tenant/landlord mediation. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacle in meeting the underserved needs is the continued lack of available funding for community development and housing activities, including public services and other programs. Given the federal budget and drastic state budget cuts, local jurisdictions like Chula Vista and the County of San Diego, are being forced to cut social service programs. In Southern California, the continued high cost of living, housing costs for both rental and ownership, and the reduction of funds all combine to create a major obstacle in providing affordable housing that is truly affordable. The City is eager to work more closely with social service providers in order to combine efforts to ensure that the available federal funds are being used in the most effective way possible. The Chula Vista Community Collaborate continues to hold its City quarterly social service provider meetings in Chula Vista to facilitate networking for solutions to the underserved needs. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City has two programs to foster and maintain affordable housing: the Balanced Communities Policy and the affordable housing inspection program. The Balanced Communities Policy fosters the development of affordable housing in that it requires all developers of new for-sale housing units to either provide 10% of those units at affordable prices or pay a housing in-lieu fee to the City. The Page 243 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 164 Developers also have the option of building affordable rental housing. The City’s inspection program ensures that the City’s 2,000+ units of affordable rental housing are maintained in a clean and safe condition and that the incomes of those families living in the different sections of the City have been verified as meeting the limits required by the funding source that help build the units. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The City will continue to inform residents applying for loans or grants through its First-Time Homebuyer Program and Rehabilitation program about the hazards of lead-based paint. Code Enforcement and building inspectors will continue to identify lead-based paint hazards as part of their ongoing activities, if the scope of the complaint allows them into the unit, or if it is part of an on-going investigation. CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs require compliance with all of HUD’s regulations concerning lead-based paint. All housing programs operated by the City are in compliance with HUD’s most recent standards regarding lead-based paint. Specifically for the following: The City’s First-Time Homebuyer Program, lead abatement disclosure is the responsibility of the seller, and the City will not participate in any homebuyer assistance if the seller refuses to abate known lead hazards. Each homebuyer is required to obtain an independent third-party inspection report. The City’s Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program meets the federal requirements for providing lead-based paint information with each rehabilitation loan and requiring paint testing of disturbed surfaces for lead in all single-family homes constructed before 1978. If a home was found to have lead-based paint, the cost of lead-based paint removal is an eligible activity under the homeowner rehabilitation program. City building inspectors are alerted to any housing units that apply for a permit for construction or remodeling, which may contain lead-based paint and other lead hazards. The City of Chula Vista will work closely, if needed, with the County of San Diego’s Childhood Lead Poising Prevention Program (CLPPP), a division of the San Diego Health and Human Services Agency. The CLPPP provides outreach and education programs and case management services for San Diego County residents, including Chula Vista residents. City’s Acquisition Rehabilitation Program and Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program guidelines describe the level of abatement that is needed if lead hazards are present. Lead Based Paint Requirements Affordable Housing Developers Each Developer of Affordable rental housing must ensure that all housing constructed, redeveloped, rehabilitated, or acquired with HOME and or CDBG funds must comply with applicable provisions of Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. 4821–4846), the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 4851–4856), and implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 35, subparts A, B, J, K, M and R upon completion of the development. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families As previously stated, the City’s anti-poverty strategy of providing safe, affordable housing will assist Page 244 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 165 in reducing the number of poverty level families in Chula Vista. By providing safe, affordable housing for those on a limited income, those families will be able to live in an environment where no more than 30% of their limited income is spent on housing. In addition, Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funding requires affordable housing developments provide programs (e.g. after school, computer labs, budgeting and language classes) to assist residents in excelling in both school and the work environment. These affordable housing developments assist families in moving up the economic ladder by providing the tools that add to their success. LIHTC continues to be the most important source for leveraging the City’s HOME, and CDBG funds for affordable housing development projects. The City is also researching using CDBG funds for economic development during this Consolidated Plan period and will continue to seek funding opportunities including HUD’s Economic Development Partnerships. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The City of Chula Vista is a member of one key organization which relies heavily on public and private coordination in the region to address the needs of the low-income community members. The Chula Vista Community Collaborative (CVCC) is a collaboration among partners and stakeholders in Chula Vista which includes Residents and Parents; Schools and School District Staff; Social Service/Non-profit Agencies; Local Government; Faith-based Community; Health Professionals; and Business Owners. Together, CVCC works to develop coordinated strategies and systems that protect the health, safety, and wellness of its residents, as well as share information and resources that strengthen families and communities. Regular meetings are held with the goal of obtaining and sharing information about services, resources, employment and training opportunities, as well as any events accessible to the Chula Vista community. The meetings are a useful venue to network and efficiently coordinate activities with partnering agencies. Although the City of Chula Vista administers the CDBG, ESG, and HOME programs, the City does engage in contracts with outside agencies for the delivery of services to the public, other than the required fair housing services and funding requests received from City Departments. Non-profits apply for public service funds, capital improvement, and creation of affordable housing. The City monitors the affordable housing programs for all properties in its portfolio including those owned by private parties, under a deed restriction between the City and the respective party. The City has developed a strong relationship with both affordable and for-profit housing developers in not only the creation of affordable units but the ongoing maintenance of the developments as well. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies Non-profit social service agencies continue to play an important role in serving the needs of low-and moderate-income residents in Chula Vista. There is a 15 percent cap on the amount of public service funds to be used from the CDBG Allocation. The City surveyed social service providers who serve Chula Vista during the needs assessment process and will continue to attend the Chula Vista Page 245 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2020-2029 Chula Vista Consolidated Plan 166 Community Collaborative meetings to foster networking among the providers. Discussion: In the implementation of the FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG, HOME, ESG funds, and other resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. The City will continue to coordinate the housing strategy with local and regional transportation planning strategies to ensure to the extent practicable that residents of affordable housing have access to public transportation.

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: Recapture Requirements: If the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the homebuyer for the duration of the period of affordability, the City of Chula Vista (“City”) may recapture the entire amount of HOME assistance from the homebuyer, subject to the limitation that when the recapture requirement is triggered by a sale (voluntary or involuntary) of the property, and there are no net proceeds, or the net proceeds are insufficient to repay the HOME funds due, the City can only recapture what is available from net proceeds. The net proceeds are calculated as the sales price minus superior loan repayments (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs. The property will no longer be subject to the affordability requirements after the City has recaptured the HOME funds in accordance with the 24 CFR 92.254(5)(ii). For more specific details, refer to the Chula Vista homebuyer program recapture option which is processed in accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 92.254 of the HOME Regulations. 3.

Each Consolidated Plan must contain a strategy for citizen participation in the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan process. It is the policy of the City of Chula Vista to ensure adequate citizen involvement in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of its housing and community development programs. This document outlines the City’s plan for soliciting and receiving citizen input during preparation of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan covering the program years 2025-2029, and the individual Annual Action Plans during these same years. This Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) was drafted in accordance with HUD’s Consolidated Plan regulations found at 24 CFR 91.100 & 91.105. ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES AND CONTACT INFORMATION The City of Chula Vista (“City”) is the recipient of all CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds. Specific program information is available at: https://www.chulavistaca.gov/departments/housing -and-homeless-services. See Appendix B for detailed grant descriptions. The Department of Housing and Homeless Services has responsibility for administration of the Consolidated Plan process, which includes all activities related to development and dissemination of Consolidated Plans, Annual Action Plans, and Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Reports. ENCOURAGING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION It is the intent of the City of Chula Vista is to encourage and facilitate the participation of residents in the formulation of priorities, strategies and funding allocations related to the Consolidated Plan process, emphasizing involvement by low- and moderate-income persons, especially those living in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. See Appendix A for map of low-moderate income areas of the City. The City also encourages participation of minority populations, including people who do not speak English and persons with special needs. The City shall encourage the participation of residents of public and assisted housing developments, in the process of developing and implementing the Consolidated Plan. Finally, the City consults with the public and private agencies that provide housing, health and social services to City residents to identify the greatest needs of City residents, particularly low- to moderate-income residents and those with special needs. ROLE OF LOW /MODERATE -INCOME PEOPLE The primary purpose of the programs covered by this CPP is to improve communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and growing economic opportunities —all principally for low- and moderate-income people. Because the amount of federal CDBG, HOME, and ESG money the City receives and/or administers each year is primarily based on the severity of both poverty and substandard housing conditions in Chula Vista, the City recognizes the importance of public participation that genuinely involves people who have experienced these conditions. It is the City’s intent to provide opportunities for meaningful involvement by low -income people at all stages of the process, including: Page 256 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda City of Chula Vista Citizen Participation Plan pg. 2 Needs identification;, Priority setting; Funding allocations; and Program recommendations. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION GOALS FOR 202 5 -2029 The City continually strives to improve participation processes so that all citizens are heard and included in community decisions. The residents of Chula Vista are diverse and should be met where they ar e, understanding the existence of various challenges and preferences. During this 5-year period, the City has set goals to expand participation methods and collect more valuable feedback. The following citizen participation methods will be implemented when possible: 1. Take a defined period of time and attend community input meetings that equally encompass all four districts within the city limits to gather public comments but also build trust and rapport with residents. 2. Use online audience participation tools to collect feedback quickly, both at in-person and online meetings. STAGES OF THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN PROCESS The policies and procedures in this CPP relate to five specific stages of action mentioned in law or regulation. See Appendix C for a detailed view of the plan process. These stages include: Stage 1. The needs assessment stage, i.e., the identification of housing and community development needs that generally occurs during development of a Consolidated Plan. For the 202 5/2029 Consolidated Plan, this stage will occur from January through March of 2025. Stage 2. The plan development stage, i.e., preparation of a Draft Consolidated Plan and/or Draft Annual Action Plan. This will occur during February and March of 2025 for the Five-year Consolidated Plan and for the 2025/26 Action Plan. Stage 3. The approval stage, i.e., formal approval by elected officials of a final Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan. The timing of this stage depends on the meeting schedule of the City Council, but generally occurs during March-May. Stage 4. The amendment stage, i.e., when a change is made in the proposed use of funds in an Annual Action Plan or to the priorities established in the Consolidated Plan, a formal Substantial Amendment will be proposed, considered and acted upon. (See “Stages in the Process” of this CPP for the definition of what constitutes a substantial amendment). This stage only occurs if a substantial amendment is required. Stage 5. The performance review phase, i.e., preparation of the CAPER. This occurs during August and September of each year. PROGRAM YEAR IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA The “program year” established by the City for the use of these funds is July 1 through June 30.

In addition, when hard copies are not available to due emergency closures of public facilities, online copies of documents will be made available for public review. Page 259 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda City of Chula Vista Citizen Participation Plan pg. 5 NOTE: If virtual hearings are used, real-time responses and accommodations for persons with disabilities and/or with limited English proficiency will be made available to the greatest extent possible. Refer to Public Hearing section for description of how the public may access virtual meetings and offer input. PUBLIC HEARINGS Public hearings will be held at key stages of the process to obtain the public’s views and to provide the public, to the greatest extent possible, with responses to their questions and comments. The City holds public hearings to obtain input regarding community needs during development of a Consolidated Plan, to review proposed uses of the funds in each Annual Action Plan, and to review program performance. More information about these specific hearings is contained in “Stages of the Process” of this CPP. ACCESS TO CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARINGS Public hearings at City Council meetings will be held only after there has been adequate notice as described in “Public Notice” of this CPP. At a minimum, an advertisement in an English and Spanish language general circulation publication must be published no less than 10 days prior to the date of the public hearing is required. The City website at www.chulavistaca.gov also posts the City Council meeting agendas and information on each agenda item. Public hearings are held before the City of Chula Vista Council in Council Chambers; 276 Fourth Avenue Chula Vista, CA 91910—accessible by public transit. There is free Spanish simultaneous interpretation available on-site. Should the City face an emergency or crisis which would impede in-person public hearings, the public may still participate via teleconference, and watch the meeting online or on television. To make in-person public comments at City Council meetings, members of the public may submit a request to speak to City Clerk staff before the close of the public comment period on an item or before the close of the general Public Comment period for non-agenda items. Electronic public comments can be submitted at https://www.chulavistaca.gov/departments/mayor-council/council-meeting-agenda, locate the meeting and click the comment bubble icon. Select the item and click "Leave Comment." You may also email cityclerk@chulavistaca.gov. eComments, emails, and other written comments must be received by noon for a regular City Council meeting.

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, any resident who needs special assistance to participate in a City Council meeting must contact the City Clerk’s Office at cityclerk@chulavistaca.gov Page 260 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda City of Chula Vista Citizen Participation Plan pg. 6 or (619) 691-5041. Providing at least 48 hours' notice will help ensure that reasonable arrangements can be made. PUBLIC INPUT MEETINGS The City holds public input meetings related to the Consolidated Plan process in several areas in the City of Chula Vista (i.e. East, South, and Northwest) in and around the month of September. Anyone interested in being notified of the meetings can call or otherwise contact the Department of Housing and Homeless Services to be placed on the community meeting mailing list. Because the housing and community development needs of low - and moderate-income people are so great and so diverse, priorities must be set to decide which needs should get more attention and more resources than other needs. This is the basic reason the Consolidated Plan exists. The City holds public input meetings to obtain residents’ opinions about needs and what priority those needs have during the development stage of the Consolidated Plan (every 5 years). Public input meetings about needs will be completed at least 30 days before a draft Consolidated Plan is published for comment, so that the needs identified can be considered by the City and addressed in the draft Plan. DRAFT ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AND/OR CONSOLIDATED PLAN The law providing the funds related to this CPP calls for improved accountability of jurisdictions to the public. In that spirit and in compliance with the terms of the law, the City will use the procedures below. GENERAL INFORMATION At the beginning of this stage, usually in November of each year, the City will provide public notice of the anticipated receipt of grant funds, including an estimate of the amount of CDBG, HOME, and ESG, funds it expects to receive in the following year and a description of the range of types of activitie s that can be funded with these resources. Also, the notice will provide an estimate of the amount of these funds that will be used in ways that will benefit low - and moderate-income people. Contact information will be included in the notice so that interested persons can obtain additional information. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE City staff will work with organizations representative of low - and moderate-income people who are interested in submitting a proposal to obtain funding for an activity. Technical assistance workshops regarding the funding process and how to apply will be provided to interested organizations early in the process. ANTI -DISPLACEMENT The City strives to avoid or minimize the displacement of individuals as a result of HUD funded activities. Therefore, to the greatest extent feasible, the City: Considers the impact of displacement in site selection, during the project planning phase ; Page 261 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda City of Chula Vista Citizen Participation Plan pg. 7 Provides information to displaced individuals on available assistance and relocation benefits ; and Reviews Anti-displacement Plans and Relocation Plans prior to funding. Prior to approval of any HUD funded activity with the potential for temporary or permanent displacement of individuals, the responsible agency (City or private developer) provides a written plan of action for comparable replacement low-income housing and assistance to displaced persons, based on the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisitions Polices Act of 1970 (URA, 49 CFR part 24). AVAILABILITY OF A PROPOSED PLAN Copies of Proposed Consolidated Plans and/or Annual Action Plans are made available by request. In addition, copies are made available at the locations specified above in “Public Access to Information” of this CPP. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND FURTHER ACTION In addition to the public input meetings held in the community regarding proposed Plans, public hearings about proposed Plans are held by the City Council. All comments from the public input meetings, as well as those received in writing during the 30-day public comment period, are presented to the Chula Vista City Council for their consideration. In the event that the City receives notification of one -time federal funds or grant opportunities, the City may use the suggested public comment period. All s uch comments are considered by staff and presented in the final Plans. FINAL ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AND/OR CONSOLIDATED PLAN Copies of the final Plan and a summary will be made available to the public upon request at cost. In addition, copies will be available at the locations specified above in “Public Access to Information.” SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND ACTION PLAN Occasionally, public comments warrant an amendment to the Consolidated Plan and/or Action Plan. The City will make documents available for interested parties of the draft Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan and Executive Summary for a comment period no less than 30-days. In the event that the City receives notification of one-time federal funds or grant opportunities, the City may use the suggested public comment period. The criteria for whether to amend a Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan is referred to by HUD as “Substantial Amendment Criteria.” The following are defined as substantial amendments by the City and will require public notice and provision of a public comment period: Over 50% of the original location of beneficiaries are impacted by the change; Contract scope of work of the proposed activity is modified to the point where it would generally be considered a new activity; Subrecipient assumes the responsibility of a project identified in the Action Plan; Page 262 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda City of Chula Vista Citizen Participation Plan pg. 8 A new program or proposed activity is proposed for funding that was not previously identified in the Consolidated Plan and Action Plans; or An administrative decision to reallocate funds from an activity in the Action Plan to other activities of equal or lesser priority need level, unless the decision is a result of: A federal government, state government, or local government declared state of emergency. A change in allocation priorities or a change in the method of distribution of funds; Any use of HUD 108 financing that was not described in the Consolidated Plan; Any changes in federal funding level after the Draft Consolidated Plan’s comment period has expired; and The resulting effect on the distribution of funds will not be considered an amendment or a substantial amendment. PUBLIC NOTICE AND PUBLIC HEARING FOR SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENTS The City will provide reasonable notice of a proposed Substantial Amendment so that residents will have an opportunity to review and comment on it. Notice will be made according to the procedures described in “Public Notice” of this CPP and will allow a 30 -day period for public comment. In the event that the City receives notification of one-time federal funds or grant opportunities, the City may use the suggested public comment period. In preparing a final Substantial Amendment, due consideration will be given to all comments and views expressed by the public. The final Substantial Amendment will have a section that presents all comments and explains why any comments were not accepted. It may be necessary to expedite substantial amendments in the event of a declared disaster or emergency. There are three types of disasters/emergency events that may necessitate an expedited substantial amendment, including: (1) man-made disasters; (2) natural disasters; or (3) terrorism. Manmade disasters can include chemical spills, mass rioting, power outages, dam failure, plant explosions, etc. Natural disasters can include earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, wild fires, flooding and public health issues, such as wide-spread disease or pandemic. Terrorism events include bomb threats, biochemical attacks (like the spread of anthrax) or cyber -attacks (like hacking, phishing, ransomware and virus distribution). These expedited substantial amendments may include funding new activities and/or the reprogramming of funds, including canceling activities to meet needs resulting from a declared disaster or emergency. Therefore, the City may use CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds to meet these needs with a 5-day public comment period instead of a 30-day public comment period, which is otherwise required for substantial amendments. CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REPORT (CAPER) Every year, the City must submit to HUD the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report CAPER), within 90 days of the close of the program year, i.e., by September 28. In general, the CAPER describes how funds were actually spent and the extent to w hich these funds were used for activities that benefited low- and moderate-income people.

Notice will be made according to the procedures described in Public Notice” above. Public comments will be accepted during a 15-day comment period described in the public notice. Copies of the CAPER will be made available to the public upon request. In addition, copies will be available at the locations listed in “Public Access to Information.” In preparing a CAPER for submission to HUD, consideration will be given to all comments and views expressed by the public, orally or submitted in writing. The CAPER sent to HUD will have a section that presents all comments. NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS (NOI/RROF) This notice is to be published when an Environmental Review Record (ERR) is complete and has been signed by the preparer and the certifying officer. The notice must specify, at a minimum, an additional 15-calendar day period within which persons may object to the use release of funds.

(The Page 345 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda Page 2 Scope of Work definition of annual income is defined in Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937.) Verification of income should be completed in accordance with the rule of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. f) Written certification of income eligibility must be obtained prior to occupancy. If applicants or household members that are being assisted have given false information and do not meet their family obligations, the Subrecipient must notify the City and rental assistance must be terminated. g) Eligible Households who receive assistance under this Agreement must be currently on a waiting list for a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and must be transitioned from the HOME TBRA program to the Section 8 program if a Housing Choice Voucher becomes available to them. h) Eligible Households who receive assistance under this Agreement must be currently on a waiting list for Public Housing and Affordable Housing. i) Eligible Households must participate in family self-sufficiency services and develop a housing plan. j) No TBRA application shall be accepted by the Subrecipient after expiration of this contract unless otherwise extended in writing by the City, but in no event will the contract be extended beyond an additional one year. k) The Subrecipient is responsible for obtaining the following documentation for each Eligible Household applying to receive TBRA: i) Tenant Income, asset, and criminal history certification.

Households may rent units outside the City of Chula Vista only in instances when doing so is necessary for reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities. 3) General Program Rules Part II a) The Subrecipient will apply its stated method of continued program participation, including annual income certification and unit inspections, as documented in their Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program Administrative Plan. If Income exceeds 60% of Area Median Income at recertification, assistance must be terminated. Page 346 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda Page 3 Scope of Work b) Assisted units may be publicly or privately owned; however, units covered under a project‐based rental assistance agreement or Public Housing Authority units are not eligible. c) Subrecipient must perform initial and annual on‐site inspections of rental housing occupied by tenants receiving HOME‐assisted TBRA to determine compliance with property standards for 24 CFR Part 92.251. The City will be required to inspect units at initial occupancy and certify that the unit meets minimum HUD Housing Quality Standar ds (HQS).Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) will not begin until the unit has passed a HQS inspection and the unit has been approved by Subrecipient. d) The Subrecipient shall execute a Housing Assistance Payment contract with the landlord. In addition, the Subrecipient shall obtain a copy of the signed lease agreement and Lease Addendum executed between the landlord and the tenant. e) The Subrecipient shall maintain a waiting list of families and a written tenant selection policies and criteria that provide housing to low and very low‐income families that is consistent with the City’s Consolidated Plan. During the term of the contract, the preferences established by the Subrecipient must be consistent with the purpose of providing assistance to very low and low‐income families and the TBRA‐AP. The waiting list shall be used to fill openings based on their priority status and chronological place on the waiting list. f) The term of the lease between the tenant and the owner must be at least for one year, unless both mutually agree in writing. The subsidy payments to the landlord under the HOME TBRA program shall not exceed 12 months from the date of initial occupancy and in no event exceed the actual period of occupancy, if less than 12 months. Tenants may have the option for a one-time re-certification for an additional 12 months with payments not to exceed a total of 24 months. The tenant shall be solely responsible for any damages caused by breaching the lease that exceed the security deposit. g) Rental assistance calculations must be prorated during the initial month. Leases should begin on the first day actual tenant occupancy. Subrecipient shall not be held responsible for paying the rent if the resident chooses to move into the unit prior to Subrecipient approval. h) Certain lease provisions are prohibited under the Regulations. These provisions are contained in the Lease Addendum which shall be executed by the landlord and tenant. i) The amount of rental assistance paid on behalf of an Eligible Household is limited to the difference between the established rent for the unit and thirty percent (30%) of the Eligible Household's gross monthly income. Page 347 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda Page 4 Scope of Work Example: $500 rent and $12,000 annual gross income would require a subsidy of: ($12,000/12 months) x .30 = $300 (tenant payment) $500 rent minus $300 tenant payment = $200 monthly subsidy Exclusions are permissible when calculating income, (e.g., dependents, disability, elderly, and child care). j) Utility allowances are permissible when calculating rent. k) Applicant’s and Participant’s minimum rent is $50.00. l) Subrecipient will develop and provide each participant with a Tenant Handbook (i.e. Family Obligations) outlining the participant’s responsibilities. m) Match‐ As with all HOME Activities, TBRA program expenditures require a 25% non‐ federal local match. City will provide the required matching funds. n) The Subrecipient shall use the Housing Choice Voucher Model for calculating rental subsidies. The maximum amount that the HOME TBRA program may pay to assist any given household is the difference between 30 percent of the household’s adjusted monthly income and the lower of the contract rent or payment standard. The payment standard is lesser of the County of San Diego’s Payment Standard or the Fair Market Rent (100%). For the initial lease for the unit, the family’s share (total family contribution) cannot exceed 40% of the family’s monthly adjusted income (including exempt income). The minimum tenant payment is $50.00. o) Issues not covered in this agreement are to be handled in accordance with HUD 24 CFR Part 92, HOME Investment Partnerships Program Final Rule, Community Planning and Development Notice 96‐07 (CPD Notice 96‐07), and HUD’s Technical Guide for Determining Income and Allowances for the HOME Program. 4) Additional Requirements: a) The City and/or the City’s monitoring agents will monitor the performance of the Subrecipient as it relates to this Agreement on a periodic basis. City may request quarterly meetings. b) The Subrecipient will transmit to the City a Monthly Payment Authorization form (Attachment F), authorizing payment for all Eligible Households. Households that are subsequently determined to be ineligible or who have served notice they have vacated must be removed from the next monthly submittal. Subrecipient must notify the City within 10 days in the event that a tenant moves out of a TBRA assisted unit. c) In addition to the required quarterly reports identified in Section XVI of this Contract, the Subrecipient shall document eligibility mentioned above to ensure that those served ar e at or below 60 percent of the Area Median Income as established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This information is to be collected and compiled at the kept for (5) years, and shall be submitted to the City of Chula Vista upon receipt of a written request and at the time of any monitoring of project records.

PURPOSE This notice outlines the basic requirements for using HOME funds for a tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA) program. The Department will also issue a model program that expands upon this notice. The purpose of the model will be to assist State and local participating jurisdictions (PJs) with basic decisions regarding TBRA program design and operation. The Department has exercised its discretion based on the statute to make the TBRA program, as described in recent regulations and this notice, flexible and responsive to local market conditions and housing needs. The current regulations may not address all the design or operational considerations. As a result, some PJs may wish to structure TBRA programs in a manner that is not entirely consistent with HOME regulations. In some instances, it may be possible to waive certain regulatory requirements, if statutory flexibility exists and the PJ can demonstrate good cause for the request. II. BACKGROUND TBRA was first authorized under section 212 of the Cranston- Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA). HUD implemented the basic requirements for using HOME funds for TBRA through publication of interim regulations at 24 CFR Part 92 on December 16, 1991. TBRA programs directly assist individual low-income families by making up the difference between actual housing costs and what a family can afford to pay. Tenants are free to select any standard unit, whether or not it is HOME-assisted. In October, 1992, the initial TBRA provisions were amended by section 220 of the Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA) of 1992. HCDA made two significant amendments. First, it eliminated the provision that required PJs to use the local Section 8 waiting list to determine who would receive assistance. Instead, PJs were permitted to select tenants in accordance with written tenant selection policies and criteria that provide housing to low and very low-income families and were reasonably related to the Federal preferences. Second, it permitted PJs to administer programs that provide only security deposit assistance, rather than requiring that security deposits only be provided in the context of an ongoing rental assistance program. These statutory revisions have been incorporated by interim rules published in the Federal Register on December 22, 1992 and June 23, 1993. HUD also implemented regulatory changes to provide PJs greater flexibility in administering TBRA programs. Publication of a rule on April 19, 1994 made it possible for a PJ to establish its own payment standard based on local market conditions and a determination of rent reasonableness. The rule further clarified the term "reasonably related to Federal preferences" and permitted a PJ's non-Federal contributions to a TBRA program that is not HOME-funded, other than contributions for administrative costs, to count as match for the HOME 2 Page 357 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 3 Program. A rule published on July 12, 1995 provided information on using HOME TBRA to assist special needs populations. On January 26, 1996, the Balanced Budget Downpayment Act, I, suspended the Federal preferences applicable to public housing admissions and the Section 8 voucher and certificate programs for Fiscal Year 1996 (which ended on September 30, 1996). HUD's FY 1997 appropriation act extended this suspension through Fiscal Year 1997, which ends on September 30, 1997. During Fiscal Year 1997, public housing authorities are authorized to establish their own preferences. These local preferences may be established after opportunity for public notice and comment and must be consistent with the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. The temporary suspension of the Federal preferences extends to the selection criteria for TBRA programs funded by HOME. III. SUSPENSION OF FEDERAL PREFERENCES As described in the previous section of this notice, the Federal preference requirements applicable to HOME-funded TBRA programs have been suspended for the remainder of Fiscal Year 1997. The effect of this suspension is to permit a PJ to establish and provide TBRA based entirely on a locally-established system of written tenant selection criteria that is consistent with its Consolidated Plan. During this time period, the preferences established by the PJ must be consistent with the purposes of providing assistance to very low- and low-income families. However, locally-established preferences will not be required to be reasonably related to the Federal preferences. For a PJ that is currently administering a TBRA program, the effect of this suspension may be simply to permit it to alter the order in which families on the waiting list are selected, based upon its system of preferences. Alternately, a PJ may wish to fundamentally change its TBRA program by establishing a preference system very different than the one it currently administers. For a PJ that is in the process of designing a TBRA program, this suspension may affect its program design and tenant selection system. The current suspension is temporary. Legislative action will be necessary to extend the suspension beyond September 30, 1997 or to make it permanent. Before making any changes to an existing or proposed TBRA program, a PJ should consider whether it could easily bring its program back into conformance with the law if the suspension terminates. This notice assumes that the Federal preference suspension will continue on a provisional basis. However, because the suspension may not be in effect beyond September 30, 1997, it also outlines the requirements that would apply to HOME TBRA programs should the suspension not be extended or made permanent. At the time that this Notice was published, the Congress was considering rescinding the Housing Act of 1937 which contains the Federal preference requirements. Page 358 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 4 Should Congress take such action, it would eliminate the need for the PJ's written tenant selection criteria to be reasonably related to Federal preferences. Each PJ would be free to establish tenant selection criteria based solely on the needs identified in its Consolidated Plan. IV. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES A. Eligible Uses HOME TBRA can be used to undertake one or a combination of the following activities: Free-standing rental assistance. A PJ may administer a rental assistance program to assist low- and very low-income families. These freestanding programs are similar to the Section 8 certificate and voucher programs in that tenants choose their housing within guidelines established by the PJ. Special purpose programs. Within limitations described in Section VII, E of this notice, PJs can use TBRA to support a variety of local goals including self-sufficiency and homeownership initiatives and assistance to special populations. o Self-sufficiency programs. PJs may require HOME TBRA recipients to participate in self-sufficiency programs as a condition of assistance. However, such conditions may not be placed on tenants living in a HOME-assisted project who receive TBRA as relocation assistance. o Homebuyer programs. HOME TBRA may assist a tenant, who has been identified as a potential low-income homebuyer through a lease-purchase agreement, with monthly rental payments for a period up to 36 months. 1 While the HOME TBRA payment cannot be used to create equity, all or a portion of the homebuyer's monthly contribution toward housing expenses may be set aside for this purpose. If a PJ determines that a tenant has met the lease-purchase criteria and is ready to assume ownership, HOME funds may be provided for downpayment assistance. o Targeted Populations. PJs may establish local preferences for special needs groups in a broad, community-wide TBRA program or may design a program that exclusively serves one or more special needs groups. Anti-displacement assistance. TBRA can be used to minimize displacement associated with HOME-funded activities. TBRA can be 1 HOME TBRA may not exceed 24 months but may be renewed at the PJ's discretion. Page 359 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda provided to income-eligible tenants who live in units that will be acquired, demolished or rehabilitated with HOME funds. Existing tenants in HOME-assisted projects who receive TBRA may remain in the project or move to another suitable unit. These tenants may be assisted with TBRA regardless of whether the PJ administers a broader TBRA program and are not required to meet written tenant selection policies and criteria. 2 Security and utility deposit assistance. PJs may provide security deposit assistance to tenants regardless of whether the PJ is providing ongoing tenant-based rental assistance. Utility deposit assistance may be provided only in conjunction with a TBRA program or a security deposit program. B. Ineligible Uses HOME TBRA funds cannot be used for the following: o to assist resident owners of cooperative housing that qualifies as homeownership housing (cooperative and mutual housing may qualify as either rental or owner-occupied housing under the HOME Program, depending upon the provisions of the agreement applying to the unit). TBRA may, however, be used by a tenant who is renting from a cooperative unit owner; o to prevent the displacement of tenants from projects assisted with Rental Rehabilitation Program funds under 24 CFR 511. (See 24 CFR 92.214); o to provide TBRA vouchers to homeless persons for overnight or temporary shelter. The HOME TBRA subsidy must be sufficient to enable the homeless person to rent a transitional or permanent housing unit that meets Housing Quality Standards (HQS). V. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION Certification - To establish a TBRA program, a PJ must certify in its Consolidated Plan that TBRA is an essential part of its approved housing strategy and that market conditions in the locality make TBRA a viable option. This means that an assessment of market factors has been 2 The 1992 HCDA amendments require the PJ to certify in its Consolidated Plan that it has a Residential Anti-displacement and Relocation Plan for the HOME Program equivalent to the Plan required for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. 5 Page 360 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda undertaken and, because there is an ample supply of housing, a TBRA program is an effective way to expand affordable housing opportunities in the community. Program Operation - A PJ may administer its TBRA program or contract administrative functions out to another entity, such as a local public housing agency (PHA), another public or private agency, or a nonprofit organization. In deciding whether to administer its program or contract out, the PJ should consider its TBRA program design. If its TBRA program will be modeled after the Section 8 certificate or voucher programs or uses the Section 8 waiting list, it may be administratively simpler to contract with the PHA. Alternately, if the program will use an independent waiting list or target special populations, it may be preferable for the PJ or another entity to administer the TBRA program. A PJ that is an urban county or consortium may establish a TBRA program that is limited to a single or multiple jurisdictions, but does not encompass the entire PJ. For instance, one local government participating in a consortium may administer a TBRA program in its jurisdiction. It should be noted that the provision of TBRA is not an eligible Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) set-aside activity. If a PJ selects a CHDO to administer its TBRA program, the CHDO is acting as a subrecipient and general HOME program funds (not CHDO set-aside funds) must be used. Administrative Costs - HOME funds may be used to pay for reasonable planning and administrative expenses associated with operating a TBRA program, regardless of what entity operates the program. Such expenses are limited by the ten percent cap on administrative costs. TBRA administrative costs are not considered "project soft costs" under 24 CFR 92.206(b). Match - As with all HOME activities, TBRA program expenditures require a 25% local match. A PJ may count non-Federal funds that it contributes to its HOME TBRA program as a matching contribution. It may also count as match any funds it contributes to a TBRA program which does not use HOME funds but meets the HOME Program requirements (see 24 CFR 92.219(b)(1)). HOME funds expended for TBRA may be matched with funds from any eligible match source, not just TBRA-related contributions. Payment of costs associated with administration of a TBRA program does not count as match. TBRA Project Set-Up - To access funds, information concerning the project must first be provided through the HOME Cash and Management Information System (C/MI), or the Integrated Data and Information System (IDIS), which is replacing the C/MI. Until a PJ has been converted to IDIS, all TBRA projects set up through the C/MI system should be reported on Form HUD-40095. Each TBRA project may include several hundred individual households. Once a TBRA project has been 6 Page 361 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda set up, the PJ may add families to the project for up to 6 months. The TBRA set-up form requires each tenant's Social Security number and certain demographic information. The set-up of TBRA projects in IDIS is similar to the set-up in the HOME C/Ml. However, there is neither a limitation on the number of households that can be included in a single project (referred to as an activity in IDIS) nor a time limit for adding families to the project. Drawing Down Funds - As with all HOME funds, TBRA funds drawn from the U.S. Treasury must be expended within 15 days. Thus, draws may not be made for TBRA on a quarterly basis. VI. TENANT SELECTION A. Income Eligibility/Verification HOME funds can only be used to assist low-income families with incomes at or below 80% of area median income as determined by HUD. In addition, for each fiscal year's HOME allocation, 90% of the families assisted with HOME funds for TBRA and other rental activities must have incomes which are at or below 60% of area median income (see 24 CFR 92.216). The PJ must determine the income and eligibility of all proposed beneficiaries before the TBRA contract is signed. The HOME final rule, which was published on September 16, 1996, amended the income definition to permit PJs to choose from among three definitions of income (the Section 8 definition, the U.S. Census long form definition, and the IRS definition of adjusted gross income). A PJ that chooses the Section 8 definition of income for its TBRA program should follow the procedures outlined in the Technical Guide for Determining Income and Allowances for the HOME Program, which HUD issued in May, 1994. In addition, PJs should note that a rule published on April 5, 1996 added nine exclusions to the definition of income applicable to HOME TBRA programs. That definition was subsequently moved to 24 CFR 5.609 by a regulation published on October 18, 1996. (See the Appendix to this notice for a list of the nine additional exclusions). PJs opting for the IRS or Census definitions must adhere to the instructions developed by those agencies for calculating income. In accordance with the Section 8 program rule at 24 CFR 982.352(c)(6), Section 8 rental assistance voucher and certificate holders cannot also receive TBRA under the HOME Program because the two programs would provide duplicative subsidies. HOME TBRA recipients who are offered a Section 8 voucher or certificate must relinquish HOME assistance, if they wish to accept the Section 8 assistance. Similarly, a family currently receiving Section 8 rental assistance may not accept HOME TBRA without relinquishing 7 Page 362 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 8 the Section 8 assistance. However, a Section 8 rental assistance recipient @a receive HOME-funded security deposit and utility deposit assistance. Similarly, a family cannot receive HOME TBRA if they are receiving rental assistance under another Federal program (e.g., Section 521 of the Housing Act of 1949 provided through the Rural Housing Service) or a State or local rental assistance program, if the HOME subsidy would result in duplicative subsidies to the family. [NOTE: Some State and local rental assistance programs do not provide assistance in amounts sufficient to lower a tenant's rental payment to 30 percent of income. In such cases, HOME TBRA could be provided as supplemental assistance to further reduce the tenant's rent payment to 30 percent of income.] In addition, HOME TBRA should not be provided to a family who proposes to rent a unit that receives project-based rental assistance through Federal, State or local programs, if the HOME assistance would provide a duplicative subsidy. Income and eligibility determinations for a newly-participating tenant remain valid for up to six months. Income eligibility criteria must be met, regardless of the type of TBRA program the PJ will administer (i.e., anti-displacement, security deposit, or freestanding). Special needs populations are not presumed to be low-income. The PJ (or TBRA administrator) must reexamine family income, size, and composition at least annually. The family's contribution toward rent may need to be adjusted as a result of the annual income reexamination. Although not required by the HOME regulations, the PJ may require families to report changes in income that occur between annual income examinations. Because HOME funds may only be used to assist families with incomes at or below 80% of area median income, assistance to tenants whose incomes rise above 80% of area median income must be terminated after the PJ gives reasonable notice to tenant and owner. Since the PJ normally would make any required payment adjustment or contract termination at the end of the rental lease period, it should time the income recertification process so that tenants whose assistance will be terminated or whose required contributions toward rent will be increased can be given reasonable notice of the change. In determining what period constitutes reasonable notice, the PJ should consult both State law and common practice in the area. B. Tenant Selection Criteria Scenario 1: Under the Federal Preference Suspension The HOME Program rule requires that PJs select tenants in accordance with written tenant selection policies and criteria. These policies and criteria must be consistent with the purpose of providing housing to very low- and low-income families. Under the temporary suspension of the Federal preferences in effect until September 30, 1997, PJs may establish their own preference systems for selecting families for rental assistance. Page 363 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 9 The locally-established preference system must be consistent with the priorities established in the Consolidated Plan. The Federal preference suspension applies to PHAs administering Section 8 rental assistance, as well as to PJs administering HOME TBRA. A PHA and a PJ administering rental assistance in the same jurisdiction are not required to use the same preference system. However, HUD encourages entities providing assistance to families within the same jurisdiction to coordinate their efforts to the greatest extent possible. Scenario 2: Elimination of the Housing Act of 1937 Should Congress rescind the Housing Act of 1937, there would no longer be any Federal preferences for admission to public housing and Section 8 assistance. Consequently, PJs would no longer be required to establish preferences for their TBRA programs that are reasonably related to the Federal preferences. Each PJ administering a TBRA program would establish a written tenant selection system consistent with the needs identified in its Consolidated Plan. Scenario 3: Federal Preference Requirements In Effect (suspended through 9/30/97) PJs that operate TBRA programs must select tenants in accordance with written tenant selection policies and criteria. The policies and criteria must be consistent with the purpose of providing housing to very low- and low-income families and be reasonably related to preference rules established under section 6(c)(4)(A) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. The term "reasonably related to Federal preference rules" means that at least 50% of the families assisted must qualify for one of the three Federal preferences. Those Federal preferences are: o families living in substandard housing, including families that are homeless or living in a shelter for homeless families; o families paying more than 50% of family income (gross) for rent; or o families involuntarily displaced at the time they are seeking TBRA assistance. PJs may rank the Federal preferences to serve those families they deem most in need. For instance, a PJ may give preference to families who are involuntarily displaced over those living in substandard housing. In addition, the PJ may rank the definitional elements of each Federal preference to reflect its own priorities. Section 6(c)(4)(A) of the Housing Act of 1937 requires that PHA's prohibit any individual or family evicted from public housing or assisted under Page 364 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda Section 8 because of drug-related criminal activity from having a preference for three years, unless the evicted tenant successfully completes a rehabilitation program approved by the agency. Each PJ should determine whether this or a similar policy is appropriate for its HOME TBRA program. The PJ may establish local preferences for assisting the 50% of families who are not required to qualify for a Federal preference. Local preferences must be established in writing and respond to local housing needs and priorities. Examples of local preferences that might be provided include preferences for families who: o have veteran's status; o lack adequate housing and whose children eventually may be proposed for placement in foster care as a result. (These families are usually identified by local agencies that are involved in providing for children's welfare); o are members of special needs populations, such as battered spouses, persons with AIDS, senior citizens or those with disabilities. In establishing local preferences, PJs must consider how specific preferences will impact fair housing efforts in its community. The local preferences must not result in discrimination against any person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or familial status. In monitoring a PJ's fair housing efforts, HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity will consider both the intent and the effect of local preference rules. C. Waiting Lists To implement its tenant selection policies for an ongoing TBRA program in a fair and orderly manner, a PJ must use a waiting list for families applying for TBRA. The PJ may choose to use a Section 8 waiting list that covers the jurisdiction or may establish a separate waiting list for HOME TBRA applicants. In determining which list to use, the PJ will need to consider the following factors: o The preferences established by the PHA and how those preferences compare with the Pj's priorities for assistance. If the PHA has adopted its own preferences as permitted under the temporary suspension of Federal preferences, the PJ should examine those preferences. If the suspension is terminated or the PHA has chosen not to establish its own preference system, the PJ should examine both the local preferences established by the PHA and the manner in which it prioritizes the Federal preferences. If the 10 Page 365 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda PHA's preference system will not result in assistance being provided to the subpopulations that the PJ deems most in need, the PJ should consider establishing a separate HOME TBRA waiting list. o The length of the PHA's Section 8 waiting list and the turnover rate of vouchers and certificates. In communities where the existing Section 8 waiting list is very long and the unavailability of new or turnover resources results in long periods on the waiting list, a PJ's priority may be to provide interim assistance to families who are currently on the Section 8 waiting list. In these instances, the PJ will adopt the Section 8 waiting list and use HOME TBRA to supplement the existing Section 8 program. o The PJs preferred program design. If the PJ wishes to administer a TBRA program that closely resembles the Section 8 voucher or certificate program and finds the PHA's preference system acceptable, it may wish to adopt the Section 8 waiting list (and, perhaps, to contract with the PHA as the administering agent) for simplicity's sake. However, if the PJ wishes to implement a program that is very different from the Section 8 programs, there may be no advantage in adopting the Section 8 waiting list. o The Pj's capacity and preference with respect to an administering agent. If the PJ plans to administer the TBRA program itself or to contract out with a capable nonprofit organization, it will have flexibility with respect to choosing a waiting list for its program. However, if the PJ lacks capacity to administer the program and chooses to contract with a PHA, it may have little choice but to adopt the PHA waiting list. The PHA may be reluctant to take on the added responsibility of establishing and maintaining a separate waiting list and administering selection criteria that are very different from its existing program. D. Section 8 Availability The HOME statute requires that families who receive HOME TBRA and are also on the Section 8 waiting list continue to qualify for Section 8 assistance to the same extent as they did before they received the HOME TBRA. Consequently, when the Federal preferences are in force, the PHA must carefully document how an applicant for HOME assistance who is also on the Section 8 waiting list meets Federal preference requirements at the time HOME assistance is provided to preserve the applicant's qualification to receive future Section 8 assistance. If a Section 8 voucher or certificate becomes available through turnover or additional budget authority and the next eligible family on the Section 8 waiting list is a HOME TBRA recipient, that family must be offered a Section 8 voucher or certificate. The PJ and PHA should develop a procedure for offering Section 8 assistance to HOME TBRA recipients who become eligible for a voucher or certificate at regular intervals (e.g., monthly, quarterly, or less frequently, depending on average turnover of vouchers and certificates). 11 Page 366 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda Under the current suspension of Federal preferences, the PJ should document how the HOME TBRA recipient meets Federal preference requirements and, if the PHA has adopted a local preference system, the local preference requirements. This will permit the PJ to determine a HOME TBRA recipient's initial eligibility for Section 8 under the Federal preference system if the suspension lapses. Should legislation permanently eliminate the Federal preferences, the HOME Program requirement that HOME TBRA recipients maintain their place and status on the Section 8 waiting list would also be eliminated. However, HOME TBRA is often a temporary resource for a low-income family. Consequently, the PJ should coordinate with the local PHA so that the PHA's policies do not disqualify applicants who come to the top of Section 8 waiting list because they are currently receiving HOME TBRA. E. Assisting Special Needs Populations HOME TBRA may be used to assist special needs populations regardless of whether the Federal preference suspension is in effect. This can be done in one of two ways: o General TBRA Program. A PJ administering a community-wide TBRA program may establish a local preference for persons with special needs (e.g., persons with disabilities) or for a specific category of individuals with special needs (e.g., chronically mentally ill individuals). A preference may be provided for persons with a particular type of special need, if the specific category of need is identified in the PJ's consolidated plan as having unmet need and the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. In conjunction with the TBRA, the PJ may offer non-mandatory services appropriate for persons with a particular disability. The nature of these services should be identified in consultation with persons with special needs residing in the community. Generally, TBRA and related services should be made available to all persons with disabilities who can benefit from such services. o TBRA Program for Persons with Special Needs. A PJ may establish a TBRA category of special needs or disabilities. The PJ may accomplish this simply by limiting eligibility for assistance to special needs groups it wishes to target. If the Federal preference rules are in effect, then 50% of the individuals assisted must qualify or would qualify in the near future for a Federal preference. As with a general TBRA program, the PJ may provide appropriate, non-mandatory social services in conjunction with the TBRA. TBRA may be provided exclusively to persons with a particular type of special need, if the specific category of need is identified in the PJ's consolidated plan as having unmet need and the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. 12 Page 367 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda VII. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS A. Rent Requirements Payment Standards Each PJ administering a TBRA program must establish a payment standard for units of each available bedroom size. This standard is intended to represent the rent and utility costs of moderately priced units that meet the Section 8 Housing Quality Standards (HQS) in the jurisdiction. It is important that the PJ establish its payment standard carefully. A standard that is set too low in comparison to the market will result in assisted families experiencing difficulty in finding housing. A payment standard that is set too high will result in excessive subsidies and fewer families being assisted. A PJ may determine its HOME payment standard in one of two ways: 1) The PJ may develop a standard based on documented local market conditions. 2) To conform more closely to PHA rent standards, the PJ may adhere to the following: o For each unit size, the rent standard may not be less than 80% of the published Section 8 Existing Housing fair market rent (FMR) in effect when the PJ adopts its rent standard amount. o For each unit size, the rent standard may not be more than the FMR or HUD-approved community-wide exception rent (discussed below) in effect when the PJ adopts its rent standard amount. o For not more than 20% of the total number of units assisted in their TBRA program, a PJ may approve, on a unit-by-unit basis, a subsidy based on a rent standard that exceeds the applicable FMR by up to ten percent. NOTE: The PJ must disapprove a lease if the rent is not reasonable, based on rents that are charged for comparable unassisted rental units. 13 Page 368 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda Community-wide Exception Rents Under certain circumstances, HUD approves maximum gross rents for the Section 8 Certificate Program for units in a designated municipality, county or similar locality that are higher than the FMR (see 24 CFR, 882.106(a)(3)). These rents, generally referred to as community-wide exception rents, may equal up to 120% of the FMR applicable to the entire jurisdiction. The PJ may use HUD-approved exception rents in lieu of the FMR to establish the rent standard for HOME TBRA. HOME does not require that a PJ provide additional rationale for adopting exception rents. TBRA in HOME-Assisted Units Rents in HOME-assisted units must meet the requirements of 24 CFR 92.252. When a family that receives HOME TBRA resides in a HOME- assisted unit, the maximum rental assistance subsidy is the difference between the HOME rent and 30% of the family's adjusted monthly income. PJ and Tenant Rent Contributions The maximum amount of subsidy the PJ may provide to a family is ' the difference between 30% of the family's monthly adjusted income and the payment standard established by the PJ for the size of unit the family will occupy. The PJ's contribution toward rent may vary each year because the family moves, the rent on the unit increases or decreases, or the family's income changes. The PJ also must establish a minimum tenant rent contribution. If the PJ is assisting a tenant with a very low-income, that contribution may be minimal. If a PJ contracts with a PHA to operate its program, it may wish to adopt the Section 8 housing certificate or voucher program rules. Under the certificate program, families pay a specified percentage of their income for housing, usually 30%, and a limit is set on what the owner can charge for rent. Housing vouchers assume that the family will pay 30% of adjusted income, but do not limit the amount an owner can charge for rent. Vouchers limit only the subsidy amount and, therefore, a family may pay more than 30% of its income for rent. A tenant's contribution to rent may change each year as a result of changes in adjusted family income. HUD generally publishes area median incomes in January. Rent Increases and Decreases The owner may adjust the rent levels as leases are renewed. They must be reviewed and approved by the PJ. HUD generally publishes FMRs in late September. 14 Page 369 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda B. Terms of Assistance Unlike the Section 8 programs which make payments to the landlord, HOME TBRA payments may be made either to the unit owner or the tenant. The term of the rental assistance contract must begin on the first day of the lease. For a rental assistance contract between the PJ and an owner, the term of the contract must end upon termination of the lease. If a PJ makes payments directly to the family, that agreement need not end upon termination of the lease, but no payments may be made after termination of the lease until the family enters into a new lease. TBRA agreements may not exceed 24 months. However, the PJ, at its discretion, may renew a TBRA agreement. C. Lease Requirements The term of the lease between a tenant and the owner must be for not less than one year, unless another term is mutually agreed upon by the tenant and the owner. The lease may not contain any of the following terms (see 24 CFR 92.253(b)): o agreement by the tenant to be sued, to admit guilt, or to a judgment in favor of the owner in a lawsuit brought in connection with the lease. o agreement by the tenant that the owner may take, hold or sell personal property of household members without notice to the tenant and a court decision on the rights of the parties. This prohibition, however, does not apply to an agreement by the tenant concerning disposition of personal property remaining in the housing unit after the tenant has moved out of the unit. In that case, the owner may dispose of this personal property in accordance with state law. o agreement by the tenant not to hold the owner or the owner's agents legally responsible for any action or the failure to act, whether intentional or negligent. o agreement of the tenant that the owner may institute a lawsuit without notice to the tenant. o agreement by the tenant that the owner may evict the tenant or household members without instituting a civil court proceeding in which the tenant has the opportunity to present a defense or before a court decision on the rights of the parties. o agreement by the tenant to waive any right to a trial by jury. 15 Page 370 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda o agreement by the tenant to waive the tenant's right to appeal or to otherwise challenge in court a decision in connection with the lease. o agreement by the tenant to pay attorney fees or other legal costs even if the tenant wins in a court proceeding by the owner against the tenant. The tenant, however, may be obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses. D. Termination of Tenancy The PJ must develop standards outlining when unit owners may terminate tenancy or refuse to renew a lease in its TBRA program. These standards must be established in writing and be included in the lease between the owner and the TBRA recipient and/or, if appropriate, the TBRA agreement between the PJ and tenant. The PJ should address the permissible grounds for termination or tenancy/refusal to renew and establish notification requirements for these actions. Please note that the requirement for 30 days notice for termination of tenancy/refusal to renew in HOME-assisted units does not apply to owners of units occupied by HOME TBRA recipients. E. Portability The PJ may require tenants to use their TBRA within the PJ or may establish a portability policy, allowing use of TBRA outside of the jurisdiction. The experience of many PHAs using portable housing vouchers has been that most tenants move to nearby jurisdictions, usually only across city or county lines. If a PJ permits portability, it must develop procedures to satisfy HOME TBRA requirements at a distance. Unless it limits portability to contiguous jurisdictions, it may be impractical for the PJ to attempt to oversee the program itself. Thus, it may wish to make arrangements with a government agency or PHA in the jurisdiction to which the family is moving to administer the TBRA or to use a subrecipient or contractor to do so. Requirements that the PJ should consider in establishing a portability policy include the need to: o initially and annually inspect units occupied by TBRA families; o execute necessary documents with the family and the owner; and o make monthly rent payments and/or security deposit payments on behalf of the PJ to the owner and/or utility companies. 16 Page 371 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda F. Eligible Units The PJ must establish occupancy standards that will be used to determine the unit size (i.e., number of bedrooms) that TBRA families of various sizes and composition will be permitted to occupy. The PJ's standards for occupancy must be at least as stringent as those set out in the Section 8 Housing Quality Standards (HQS). At the time that it is approved for TBRA, the family should be counseled regarding the size of the unit for which it is approved, whether it will be permitted to select a unit that is larger or smaller than the approved unit size and what the consequences of such a decision will be with respect to the family's monthly contribution toward rent. The PJ may refer the TBRA family to suitable units. However, the PJ must inform the family that it is not obligated to select a referral unit. Rental units are selected by the tenant, and: o may be owned by the PJ, a PHA or another public entity or be privately owned housing; o may include units developed or rehabilitated with HOME assistance; o may be transitional housing units, if the lease terms meet the minimum lease requirements; o must not be units receiving public or Indian housing assistance, any Section 8 rent subsidies, or any other Federal, State or local subsidy that provides a duplicative subsidy to the HOME TBRA recipient or the unit which they propose to rent; and o if part of a cooperative, must be rented from the owner of the cooperative unit. HOME TBRA cannot be used to pay cooperative shares if the cooperative membership is considered ownership under HOME. In conjunction with the annual reexamination of income, the PJ must reexamine the TBRA family's size and composition to determine whether its circumstances have changed. Depending upon the occupancy requirements established by the PJ, a family whose size or composition has changed may be required to find a unit that is suitable to its current circumstances. Housing occupied by a family receiving TBRA must meet Section 8 HQS. The housing must meet both the performance and acceptability requirements outlined at 24 CFR 982.401. PJs may request waivers to permit specific variations on HQS. Examples that may justify deviations include local climatic or geological conditions or local codes. The PJ must inspect units selected by families receiving TBRA to determine whether they 17 Page 372 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda meet HQS before authorizing their initial rental and, thereafter, must inspect the units annually. The owner must maintain the premises in compliance with all applicable housing quality standards and local code requirements throughout the period of the TBRA family's occupancy. G. Self-Sufficiency Programs PJs administering a freestanding TBRA program may require HOME TBRA recipients to participate in self-sufficiency programs as a condition of assistance. All terms and conditions of participation should be clearly spelled out in the written agreement between the tenant and the PJ. During the term of the TBRA contract, the PJ may not withdraw rental assistance based on the tenant's failure to continue participation in the program without providing proper notice in accordance with the standards the PJ established in the TBRA agreement. Because it may prove administratively simpler, PJs considering conditioning rental assistance on participation in such programs may wish to limit the term of assistance to a short period of time (e.g., 6 or 12 months) rather than attempting to terminate assistance for noncompliance during the contract term. In such instances, TBRA participants should be assured that the assistance will be renewed if the conditions established by the PJ are met. H. Making the Payments Unlike the Section 8 program, which requires that subsidy payments be made directly to the owner, a PJ using HOME TBRA funds may provide monthly payments to the tenant directly or to the owner on behalf of the tenant. Paying tenants directly may eliminate paperwork and save staff time because no contract between the PJ and owner is necessary. The PJ must, however, examine the lease to make certain it does not contain prohibited lease terms and inspect the unit. A "real-world" tenant- owner market relationship, in which tenants pay owners, results. If the PJ makes payments directly to tenants, the contract should include provisions to recoup HOME funds for nonpayment of rent. If the PJ decides to pay owners directly, the PJ has the advantage of negotiating the rent. Also, paying the owner directly may encourage private owners to participate because they will receive at least a partial rent payment from the PJ each month. If a PHA administers the program for the PJ, this procedure may be preferable because Section 8 payments are made only to owners. Consequently, the HOME TBRA payments can be easily integrated into the PHA's financial management system, resulting in lower front-end and processing costs. The PJ also may choose to reimburse tenants for rent paid to the owner. However, this may not be practical because families may not have the money up-front to make their entire rent payment. 18 Page 373 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda I. Utility Deposits The PJ may pay utility deposits for tenants who are also participating in a TBRA program or a security deposit program. Deposits may be made for utilities authorized under the Section 8 utility allowance (such as electric, gas, water and trash). Deposits for services incidental to housing, such as telephone service and cable television, cannot be paid with HOME funds. The PJ may make the utility deposit available to the family as a loan or grant or may make payment directly to the utility company. If offered as a grant, the tenant may keep any remaining funds when the family departs from the unit. If offered as a loan, the PJ must make arrangements with the tenant or utility company to return any remaining funds to it. Returned funds are treated as program income and must be reinvested in other HOME-eligible activities (see 24 CFR 92.503(b)). In determining whether to grant or loan these funds, the PJ should consider the time and effort involved in collecting any remaining funds from the tenant or utility company. VIII. SECURITY DEPOSIT PROGRAM TBRA may be used for security deposits, regardless of whether the tenant is receiving ongoing rental assistance. For a security deposit program: o the relevant state or, local definition of "security deposit" in the jurisdiction where the unit is located applies. o the maximum amount of HOME funds that may be provided for a security deposit is the equivalent of two months rent for the unit. o only the prospective tenant, not the unit owner, may apply for HOME security deposit assistance. o all of the above TBRA requirements apply except for the term of assistance and maximum subsidy amount. o the lease associated with the security deposit may not contain the prohibited lease provisions outlined in Section VII, C, of this notice and must be in effect for at least one year unless there is mutual agreement between landlord and tenant. o payment may be made to the tenant or the landlord. 19 Page 374 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda The PJ may provide security deposits as either a grant or a loan. If offered as a grant, the tenant may keep any remaining funds when the family leaves the unit. If the PJ lends the funds, it must arrange for the tenant or owner to return the funds. If the unit owner subtracts funds from the security deposit to cover damages, the PJ may accept the remaining balance as repayment or require the tenant to repay the entire amount. This requirement should be set out in the written agreement between the PJ and the tenant. In determining whether to grant or loan these funds, the PJ should consider the time and effort involved in collecting any remaining security deposit funds from the tenant or owner after the tenant leaves the unit. Returned security deposit funds are treated as program income and must be reinvested in HOME-eligible activities (see 24 CFR 92.503(b)). 20 Page 375 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda APPENDIX: Exclusions from Income Under Section 8 Income Definition Annual income does not include the following: 1) Resident service stipends of less than $200 per month (e.g., fire patrol, hall monitoring, lawn maintenance, resident initiatives coordination, and resident management). 2) Adoption assistance payments. 3) The full amount of student financial assistance paid directly to the student or to the educational institution. 4) Earned income of full-time students age 18 years or older. 5) Payments received for the care of foster adults (usually persons with disabilities, unrelated to the tenant family, who are unable to live alone). 6) State or local employment training programs and training of resident management staff. 7) State tax rent credits and rebates for property taxes paid on a dwelling unit. 8) Homecare payments made by a State agency to families that have developmentally disabled children or adult family members living at home. 9) Deferred periodic payments of Social Security. Supplemental Income payments and Social Security payments received in a lump sum.

The memorandum is divided into two sections. Section I addresses PJs located in areas covered by a major disaster declaration made under Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act). Section II describes regulatory waivers available to all HOME PJs, not just those included in a major disaster declaration. Provisions that are not specifically suspended or waived remain in full effect. CPD Field Offices shall inform PJs of the availability of these suspensions and waivers. A PJ that intends to implement the HOME statutory suspensions and/or regulatory waivers identified below, must send written notification via e-mail to the CPD Division in its local HUD Field Office before it implements the waiver or suspension. This written notification must identify which suspensions and/or waivers the PJ plans to use. Waiver and Suspension Authority Section 290 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (NAHA), as amended, authorizes HUD to suspend HOME statutory requirements to assist PJs in addressing the damage in an area for which the President has issued a major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Stafford Act and to assist them in disaster recovery. Upon determination of good cause, in accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, HUD may waive regulatory provisions subject to statutory limitations. These provisions provide HUD the authority to make waiver determinations for the HOME program. I. Statutory Suspensions and Regulatory Waivers Available Only to Major Disaster Areas Pursuant to the authority provided in Section 290 of NAHA and 24 CFR 5.110, I hereby find good cause, as stated in the justifications that follow, to suspend the statutory provisions and waive the related regulatory provisions described below for PJs covered by a major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Stafford Act as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These suspensions and waivers are also available to any PJ that receives a major disaster declaration related to the COVID- www.hud.gov espanol.hud.gov Page 384 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2 19 pandemic after the date of this memorandum. These suspensions and waivers are intended to provide maximum administrative flexibility to PJs and better assist low-and very low-income households as they deal with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 1. 10% Administration and Planning Cap Requirement: Limitation on the Use of HOME Funds for Administrative Costs Citations: Section 212(c) of NAHA and 24 CFR 92.207 Explanation: These provisions limit the amount of HOME funds that a PJ may use for administrative and planning costs associated with its HOME award. A PJ may expend up to 10 percent of its annual HOME allocation, plus any program income received, for administrative and planning costs. These provisions are suspended to enable the PJ to expend up to 25 percent of its FY 2019 and FY 2020 allocations and program income received for administrative and planning costs. Justification: This suspension is required to provide the PJ adequate funds to pay for the increased cost of administering HOME-related activities to address the effects of COVID-19, including attempts to prevent the spread of the virus. The suspension is also intended to relieve the PJ of the burden of identifying other general funds to pay HOME administrative and planning costs at a time when the State and local tax revenues that provide general operating revenue are decreasing. Applicability: This suspension and waiver applies to the FY 2019 and FY 2020 HOME allocations of PJs that are covered by a major disaster declaration. 2. CHDO Set-aside Requirement Requirement: Set-aside for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) Citations: Section 231 of NAHA and 24 CFR 92.300(a)(1) Explanation: These provisions establish a set-aside for CHDOs. The PJ must use 15 percent of each annual allocation of HOME funds only for housing owned, developed, or sponsored by CHDOs. Justification: The suspension and waiver are required to relieve the PJ of requirements that may impede the obligation and use of funds to expeditiously assist families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Suspension of the CHDO set-aside will immediately make additional HOME funds available for activities such as tenant-based rental assistance for which CHDO set-aside funds cannot be used. Page 385 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 3 Applicability: The CHDO set-aside requirement is reduced to zero percent for the fiscal year 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 allocations of State and local PJs. 3. Limits and Conditions on CHDO Operating Expense Assistance Requirement: Operating Assistance for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) Citations: Section 212(g) and 234(b) of NAHA; 24 CFR 92.208 and 24 CFR 92.300(e) and (f) Explanation: Section 212(g) of NAHA and 24 CFR 92.208 limit the amount of CHDO operating assistance that a PJ may provide to 5% of each annual HOME allocation. Section 234(b) of NAHA and 24 CFR 92.300(f) limit the amount of CHDO operating assistance, in combination with certain other forms of assistance, that each CHDO may receive to the greater of 50% of its annual operating budget or $50,000. 24 CFR 92.300(e) requires a CHDO receiving operating assistance that is not currently receiving CHDO set-aside funding for a specific project to be expected to receive such funding within 24 months. These statutory provisions are suspended and regulatory provisions are waived to permit a PJ to provide up to 10% of its FY 2019 and FY 2020 HOME allocations as operating assistance to CHDOs and to permit a CHDO to receive funding to fill operating budget shortfalls, even if the amount exceeds the higher of $50,000 or 50% of its annual operating budget. Furthermore, PJs will not be required to include a provision in the written agreement with the CHDO that the CHDO is expected to receive CHDO set- aside funds within 24 months of receiving the additional operating assistance, as required in 24 CFR 92.300(e). Justification: The suspension and waiver of these requirements is required to ensure that CHDOs are able to maintain operations and retain staff capacity to own, develop and sponsor housing with CHDO set-aside funds to serve communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Applicability: PJs in areas covered by a major disaster declaration may use up to 10% of their FY 2019 and FY 2020 allocations for CHDO operating assistance. A CHDO receiving increased operating assistance must use the assistance to maintain organizational capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic. CHDOs may receive increased operating assistance under these suspensions and waivers through June 30, 2021. Page 386 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 4 4. Matching Contribution Requirements Requirement: Reduction of Matching Contributions Citation: 24 CFR 92.218 and 92.222(b) Explanation: The provisions of 24 CFR 92.218 and 24 CFR 92.222(b) require all HOME PJs to contribute throughout the fiscal year to housing that qualifies as affordable housing under the HOME program. The contributions must total no less than 25 percent of the HOME funds drawn from the PJ’s HOME Investment Trust Fund Treasury account. The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically reduced economic activity, reducing state and local tax revenues and placing financial strain on PJs as they deliver urgently needed public health, emergency housing, education, community and social services. Reducing the matching requirement for PJs in areas covered by a major disaster declaration by 100 percent for FY 2020 and FY 2021 will ease the economic burden on PJs and eliminate the need for them to identify other sources of match for HOME activities. Justification: Given the urgent housing and economic needs created by COVID-19, and the substantial financial impact the PJ will face in addressing those needs, waiver of these regulations will relieve the PJ from the need to identify and provide matching contributions to HOME projects. Applicability: This match reduction applies to funds expended by a PJ located in Presidentially declared-disaster area between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2021. II. Regulatory Waivers Available to All Participating Jurisdictions The following regulatory waivers are available to all PJs, not just those PJs covered by a major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Stafford Act. Pursuant to the authority provided in 24 CFR 5.110, I hereby waive the HOME regulatory requirements specified below for all HOME PJs. 1. Citizen Participation Reasonable Notice and Opportunity to Comment Citation: 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k) (Local governments), 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i) (States), and, 24 CFR 91.235(e) (Insular areas) 24 CFR 91.401 (Consortia) Explanation: The regulations at 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k) (Local governments), 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i) (States), 24 CFR 91.235(e) (Insular Areas), and 24 CFR 91.401 (Consortia) set forth the citizen participation requirements for PJs. For substantial amendments to the consolidated plan, the regulations require the PJ to follow its citizen participation plan to provide citizens with reasonable notice and opportunity to comment. The citizen participation Page 387 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 5 plan must state how reasonable notice and opportunity to comment will be given. This waiver will permit PJs amending their plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce the comment period to 5 days. Justification: Given the unprecedented economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, PJs may need to expeditiously reprogram HOME funds to activities that more directly meet their immediate housing needs, including reprogramming funds to cover increased administrative costs or away from other development activities. Requiring these PJs to complete the required public comment period would cause undue delays in the face of urgent and growing need. PJs must have the ability to respond immediately to the unprecedented housing need caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Applicability: This waiver is in effect for any necessary substantial amendments to FY 2020 and earlier consolidated plans or action plans. 2. Income Documentation Requirement: Source Documentation for Income Determinations Citations: 24 CFR 92.203(a)(1) and (2), 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: These sections of the HOME regulation require initial income determinations for HOME beneficiaries by examining source documents covering the most recent two months. 24 CFR 92.64(a) applies these requirements to Insular Areas. Justification: This waiver permits the PJ to use self-certification of income, as provided at §92.203(a)(1)(ii), in lieu of source documentation to determine eligibility for HOME assistance of persons requiring emergency assistance related to COVID-19. Many families affected by actions taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19, such as business closures resulting in loss of employment or lay- offs, will not have documentation that accurately reflects current income and will not be able to qualify for HOME assistance if the requirement remains effective. Applicability: The waiver applies to individuals and families that have lost employment or income either permanently or temporarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic and who are applying for admission to a HOME rental unit or a HOME tenant-based rental assistance program. This waiver also applies to homeless individuals and families who are applying for admission to a HOME rental unit or a HOME tenant-based rental assistance program. Timely provision of this assistance will reduce the spread of COVID-19. If a PJ chooses to use this waiver availability, the PJ must ensure that self- certified income takes into consideration all income, including any Page 388 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 6 unemployment and emergency benefits the applicant will receive. However, for purposes of an applicant’s self-certification, emergency tax relief (commonly referred to as stimulus payments) is not to be included as an emergency benefit. Also, the PJ must arrange to conduct on-site rent and income reviews within 90 days after the waiver period. The PJ must include tenant income certifications in each project file. This waiver remains in effect through December 31, 2020. 3. On-Site Inspections of HOME-assisted Rental Housing Requirement: Ongoing Periodic Inspections of HOME-assisted Rental Housing Citation: 24 CFR 92.504(d)(1)(ii) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: These provisions require that during the period of affordability PJs perform on-site inspections of HOME-assisted rental housing to determine compliance with the property standards at §92.251 and to verify the information submitted by the owners in accordance with the income and rent requirements of §92.252. On-site inspections must occur at least once every three years during the period of affordability. 24 CFR 92.64(a) applies these requirements to Insular Areas. Justification: Waiving the requirement to perform ongoing on-site inspections will help protect PJ staff and limit the spread of COVID-19. To protect PJ staff and reduce the spread of COVID-19, this waiver extends the timeframe for PJs to perform on-going periodic inspections and on-site reviews to determine a HOME rental project’s compliance with property standards and rent and income requirements. Applicability: The waiver is applicable to ongoing periodic inspections and does not waive the requirement to perform initial inspections of rental properties upon completion of construction or rehabilitation. Within 120 days of the end of this waiver period, PJs must physically inspect units that would have been subject to on-going inspections during the waiver period. The waiver is also applicable to on-site reviews to determine a HOME rental project’s compliance with rent and income requirements if the project owner is unable to make documentation available electronically. The waiver is in effect through December 31, 2020 4. Annual Inspection of Units Occupied by Recipients of HOME Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Requirement: Annual Inspections of TBRA Units Page 389 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 7 Citation: 24 CFR 92.504(d)(1)(iii); 24 CFR 92.209(i) requirement for annual re-inspections and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: These provisions require PJs to annually inspect each unit occupied by a recipient of HOME TBRA. 24 CFR 92.64(a) applies these requirements to Insular Areas. Justification: Waiving the requirement that these annual inspections be performed according to schedule will protect the health of both inspectors and TBRA tenants by observing physical distancing recommendations to limit the spread of COVID-19. Applicability: The waiver is applicable to annual HQS inspections required to occur from the date of this memorandum through December 31, 2020. At the end of this waiver period, PJs must inspect units that would have been subject to HQS inspections during the waiver period within 120 days of the expiration of the waiver. In addition, PJs shall make reasonable efforts to address any tenant- reported health and safety issues during the waiver period. 5. Four-Year Project Completion Requirement Requirement: Four-Year Project Completion Deadline Citation: 24 CFR 92.205(e)(2) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: The provision requires that projects assisted with HOME funds be completed within 4 years of the date that HOME funds were committed. If the project is not complete, in accordance with the definition of “project completion” at 24 CFR 92.2, by the deadline, the project is involuntarily terminated in HUD’s Integrated Data Information System (IDIS), and the PJ must repay all funds invested in the project. The regulations permit a PJ to request an extension of the deadline for up to one-year. 24 CFR 92.64(a) applies these requirements to Insular Areas. Justification: This waiver is necessary to provide additional time to permit completion of HOME-assisted projects that may be delayed as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on project timelines. These delays may occur as a result of worker illnesses or efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19, such as smaller construction crews or delays in local permitting or inspections due to government office closures. Applicability: This waiver applies to projects for which the 4-year project completion deadline will occur on or after the date of this memorandum. The completion deadlines for covered projects are extended to December 31, 2020. Page 390 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 8 6. Nine-Month Deadline for Sale of Homebuyer Units Requirement: Qualification as Affordable Housing: Homeownership Citation: 24 CFR 92.254(a)(3) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: This provision requires that a homebuyer housing unit developed with HOME funds have a ratified contract for sale to an eligible homebuyer within 9 months of the date of completion of construction or rehabilitation. If there is no ratified sales contract with an eligible homebuyer within 9 months of completion of construction or rehabilitation, the housing must be rented to an eligible tenant in accordance with §92.252. 24 CFR 92.64(a) applies these requirements to Insular Areas. Justification: Many PJs will not be able to meet this deadline due to the effect the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the ability of eligible households to qualify for mortgages as a result of income losses or the inability to schedule inspections, titles searches, or closings during periods of business closures. The waiver is necessary to prevent the loss of homeownership opportunities for HOME-eligible families and temporarily suspend the required corrective action of repayment of HOME funds or conversion of the homebuyer units to rental housing. Applicability: The waiver applies to projects for which the 9-month homebuyer sale deadline occurs on or after the date of this memorandum and extends the deadline for those projects to December 31, 2020. This waiver does not apply to the remaining requirements of the regulation, including that a homebuyer must receive housing counseling, and that a PJ must determine eligibility of a family by including the income of all persons living in the housing. 7. Use of HOME Funds for Operating Reserves for Troubled HOME Projects Requirement: Troubled HOME Projects Citations: 24 CFR 92.210(a) and (b) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: 24 CFR 92.210 establishes provisions to permit HOME rental projects that are not financially viable (i.e., projects for which operating costs significantly exceed operating revenue) to be preserved through the use of HOME funds to recapitalize project reserves. 24 CFR 92.210(a) requires HUD to review market needs, available resources, and the likelihood of long-term viability of the project before approving this use of HOME funds. 24 CFR 92.210(b) requires a written memorandum of agreement between HUD and the PJ as a precondition of this funding and certain Page 391 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 9 limitations on the amount of funding. 24 CFR 92.64(a) applies these requirements to Insular Areas. Justification: The waiver is necessary to enable PJs to take rapid action to preserve the financial viability of HOME-assisted affordable rental projects currently under a HOME period of affordability. Because existing tenants in HOME units may be unable to meet their rent obligations due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, HOME rental projects may experience operating deficits due to the sudden decrease in rental revenue. Applicability: The waiver applies to HOME-assisted rental projects currently within the period of affordability established in the HOME written agreement. PJs will not be required to obtain HUD approval or execute a memorandum of agreement with HUD before providing this assistance. PJs may only exercise this waiver authority when the project owner agrees to forego: 1) any distributions of residual receipts resulting from the project throughout the waiver period and for a period of 6 months thereafter; 2) any right under the existing lease agreement or State or local law to pursue legal action against tenants of HOME-assisted units for non-payment of rent and the collection of any fees associated with late payments without prior approval of the PJ; and 3) any adverse credit reporting against tenants of HOME- assisted units for nonpayment of rent or fees without prior approval of the PJ. The PJ may provide additional HOME funds to recapitalize operating deficit reserves for HOME-assisted rental projects if the PJ determines that the project is experiencing operating deficits related to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic during the waiver period. The PJ may only provide this assistance to projects experiencing operating deficits that will not be covered by insurance or other sources (e.g., other private, local, state, or federal funds). The maximum amount of HOME assistance that may be provided is equal to the total of the project’s operating expenses, previously scheduled payments to a replacement reserve, and actual debt service (excluding debt service of loans in forbearance) multiplied by the proportionate share of HOME- assisted units to the total number of units in the project for the period beginning on April 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2020. Project operating expenses may be demonstrated by one of the following: The Owner’s most recent year to date financials for the project; Certified project-level accounting records covering the most recent 3 months; and Copies of project-level bank statements covering the most recent 3 months. Page 392 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 10 Project operating expenses may also be adjusted due to COVID-19-related expenditures and foregone expenses due to social distancing measures and other COVID-19-related impacts. An owner may demonstrate these expenses with recent receipts, copies of work orders, revised budgets that have been certified by the project owner as true, accurate representations of current expenditures. In order to take advantage of this waiver, PJs must amend the HOME written agreement with the project owner to include the amount of HOME funds that will be provided to an operating reserve (i.e., the proportion of total costs attributable to HOME units as described in the paragraph above), the costs eligible to be paid with HOME funds in the operating reserve (i.e., operating expenses, scheduled payments to a replacement reserve, and qualifying debt service), and the documentation the PJ is required to maintain to demonstrate the allowable amounts and eligibility of costs paid with the HOME funds in the operating reserve. The written agreement must specify that the owner must forego: 1) any distributions of residual receipts during the period this waiver is in effect and for a period of 6 months thereafter; 2) any right under the existing lease agreement or State or local law to pursue legal action against tenants of HOME-assisted units for non-payment of rent and the collection of any fees associated with late payments without prior approval of the PJ; and 3) any adverse credit reporting against tenants of HOME-assisted units for nonpayment of rent or fees without prior approval of the PJ. Within 6 months following the waiver period, the PJ must review the project’s records of actual revenue and operating expenses, total amount of HOME funds expended from the operating reserve, and the eligibility of expenses by examining invoices and receipts. The written agreement must require the project owner to repay any expenditures for costs determined to be ineligible and any balance of HOME funds remaining in the reserve after December 31, 2020. Any HOME funds repaid to the PJ must be deposited in the local HOME account and reported as program income in IDIS. The waiver is effective through December 31, 2020. 8. Timeframe for a Participating Jurisdiction’s Response to Findings of Noncompliance Requirement: Corrective and Remedial Actions Citations: 24 CFR 92.551(b)(1) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: 24 CFR 92.551(b)(1) requires that if HUD determines preliminarily that a PJ has not met a provision of the HOME regulations, the PJ must be notified and given an opportunity to respond within a time period prescribed by Page 393 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 11 HUD, not to exceed 30 days. 24 CFR 92.64(a) applies this requirement to Insular Areas. Justification: The waiver is necessary to permit HUD to provide PJs with an extended period to respond to findings of noncompliance in recognition of the unanticipated circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic. While HUD must continue its oversight function for the HOME Program, requiring PJs to respond to all findings of noncompliance within 30 days may interfere with a PJ’s ability to address the unprecedented housing needs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Applicability: The waiver applies to all findings of HOME regulatory noncompliance issued from the date of this memorandum through December 31, 2020. In the notice of findings, HUD will specify a time period for the PJ’s response based on the nature of the noncompliance and required corrective action(s). HUD may also, upon request by the PJ, extend time periods imposed before the date of this memorandum. Questions regarding this waiver should be directed to Virginia Sardone, Director, Office of Affordable Housing Programs (OAHP), or your OAHP desk officer. Participating jurisdictions and other HOME Program participants should contact the CPD Division of their local HUD Field Office. Page 394 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT WASHINGTON, DC 20410-7000 OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT April 10, 2020 MEMORANDUM FOR: All CPD Field Division Directors, Deputy Directors, and Program Managers FROM: John Gibbs, Acting Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (D) SUBJECT: Suspensions and Waivers to Facilitate Use of HOME-Assisted Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) for Emergency and Short-term Assistance in Response to COVID-19 Pandemic This memorandum provides guidance and the necessary statutory suspensions and regulatory waivers to enable HOME participating jurisdictions (PJs) affected by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to use HOME tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA) funds to facilitate urgent housing assistance to the communities and families experiencing financial hardship. The memorandum is divided into two sections. Section I addresses PJs located in the areas covered by a major disaster declaration made under Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act). Section II describes regulatory waivers available to all HOME PJs not just those PJs included in a major disaster declaration. Provisions that are not specifically suspended or waived remain in full effect. While HOME program funds are primarily a resource for the physical development of affordable housing, the Department recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread economic damage and created an unprecedented need for housing assistance among individuals and families directly affected by these unanticipated economic changes. The suspensions and waivers provided in this memorandum will allow PJs to use HOME funds for TBRA to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including 1) providing immediate rental assistance to individuals and families seeking housing, 2) assisting households that have housing but face reduced or lost wages, and 3) assisting existing TBRA families that need additional assistance due to reduced or lost wages. CPD Field Offices shall inform PJs of the availability of these suspensions and waivers. A PJ that intends to implement the HOME statutory suspensions and/or regulatory waivers identified below must send written notification via e-mail to the CPD Division in its local HUD Field Office before it implements the waiver and/or suspension. This written notification must identify which suspensions and/or waivers the PJ plans to use. Waiver and Suspension Authority Section 290 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (NAHA), as amended, authorizes HUD to suspend, respectively, HOME statutory requirements to assist PJs in addressing the damage in an area for which the President has issued a major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Stafford Act and to assist them in disaster recovery. www.hud.gov espanol.hud.gov Page 395 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 2 Upon determination of good cause, in accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, HUD may waive regulatory provisions subject to statutory limitations. These provisions provide HUD the authority to make waiver determinations for the HOME program. I. Statutory Suspensions and Regulatory Waivers Available Only to Major Disaster Areas Pursuant to the authority provided in Section 290 of NAHA and 24 CFR 5.110, I hereby find good cause, as stated in the justifications that follow, to suspend HOME statutory requirements and waive related regulatory requirements specified below for PJs covered by a major disaster declaration under the Title IV of the Stafford Act as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consolidated Plan – HOME Certification, Analysis of Local Market Conditions, and Citizen Participation Citations: Section 212(a)(3)(A)(i) of NAHA and 24 CFR 92.209(b) 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k), 24 CFR 91.215(b)(1) and (e) and 24 CFR 91.225(d)(1) (Local governments), 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i), 24 CFR 91.315(b)(1) and (e) and 24 CFR 91.325(d)(1) (States), 24 CFR 91.401, 24 CFR 91.415 and 24 CFR 91.425(2)(i) (Consortia), and 24 CFR 91.235(e) and 24 CFR 92.61 (Insular Areas) Explanation: Section 212(a)(3)(A)(i) of NAHA requires that a PJ that intends to use HOME funds for TBRA certify that the provision of such assistance is an essential part of its Consolidated Plan based on an analysis of local market conditions. This requirement is codified in 24 CFR 92.209(b) and for Insular Areas 24 CFR 92.61, as well as in the Consolidated Submissions for Community Planning and Development Programs regulations at 24 CFR 91.215(b)(1) and (e) and 91.225(d)(1) (for local governments), 24 CFR 91.315(b)(1) and (e) and 91.325(d)(1) (for States), and 24 CFR 91.415 and 91.425(2)(i) (for Consortia). When amending its Consolidated Plan, a PJ must follow the citizen participation plan it developed and adopted in accordance with 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k) (for local governments), 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i) (for States), 24 CFR 91.235(e) (Insular Areas), and 24 CFR 91.401 (for Consortia). The citizen participation plan must provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment. The citizen participation plan must state how reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment will be given and provide a period of not less than 30 calendar days to allow citizens to submit comments. This suspension will eliminate: 1) the requirement for PJs to amend their Consolidated Plans to include or revise an analysis of local market conditions before implementing a TBRA program; and 2) the requirement that PJs certify that the use of HOME funds for TBRA is an essential element of the Consolidated Plan and that it has conducted an analysis of local needs. PJs that choose to use HOME TBRA to Page 396 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 3 address the urgent housing needs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may do so by amending their Annual Action Plan to reflect the use of HOME funds for TBRA without meeting these requirements. Justification: Given the unprecedented economic disruptions and associated job losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an urgent need for TBRA assistance in communities across the country. Requiring PJs to conduct an analysis of local market conditions, amend their Consolidated Plan, and complete the required public comment period would cause undue delays in commencing TBRA programs to address the urgent and growing need. PJs must have the ability to respond immediately to the unprecedented housing needs created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Applicability: This suspension and regulatory waiver is applicable to a PJ’s current 5-year Consolidated Plan and any Consolidated/Action Plans being amended to reprogram funds to TBRA to address housing needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tenant Selection and Targeted Assistance Citation: Section 212(a)(3)(A)(ii) of NAHA, 24 CFR 92.209(c) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: Section 212(a)(3)(A)(ii) of NAHA requires a PJ to establish written tenant selection criteria for its TBRA program. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.209(c), or 24 CFR 92.64(a) for Insular Areas, those criteria must be consistent with the local housing needs and priorities established in the PJ’s Consolidated Plan. This suspension will eliminate the need for PJs to develop or revise written tenant selection criteria and will allow PJs to assist individuals requiring immediate housing assistance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Justification: Given the sudden onset and severe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, PJs could not anticipate the urgent, widespread housing needs created by the pandemic or reflect those needs and priorities in the Consolidated Plan. Suspending this provision will provide PJs with greater flexibility to expeditiously use TBRA as a resource to assist individuals and families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Applicability: Suspending Section 212(a)(3)(A)(ii) of NAHA and waiving 24 CFR 92.209(c) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) for Insular Areas eliminates the requirement for PJs to establish new or revise existing tenant selection criteria for the HOME TBRA program. The statutory suspension and regulatory waiver are in effect through December 31, 2020, for TBRA provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a PJ must document its criteria for selecting individuals and families to be assisted by the TBRA program. Page 397 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 4 II. Regulatory Waivers Available to All Participating Jurisdictions The following regulatory waivers are available to all PJs, not just those PJs covered by a major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Stafford Act. Pursuant to the authority provided in 24 CFR 5.110, I hereby waive the HOME regulatory requirements specified below for all HOME PJs. Citizen Participation Reasonable Notice and Opportunity to Comment Citation: 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k) (Local governments), 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i) (States), 24 CFR 91.235(e) (Insular Areas), and 24 CFR 91.401 (Consortia) Explanation: The regulations at 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k) (Local governments), 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i) (States), 24 CFR 91.235(e) (Insular Areas), and 24 CFR 91.401 (Consortia) set forth the citizen participation requirements for PJs. For substantial amendments to the Consolidated Plan, the regulations require the PJ to follow its citizen participation plan to provide citizens with reasonable notice and opportunity to comment. The citizen participation plan must state how reasonable notice and opportunity to comment will be given. This waiver will permit PJs amending their plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce the comment period to 5 days. Justification: Given the unprecedented economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for this type of assistance in communities across the country is clear. Requiring these PJs to complete the required public comment period would cause undue delays in commencing TBRA programs to address an urgent and growing need. PJs must have the ability to respond immediately to the unprecedented housing need caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Applicability: This waiver applies to any approved Annual Action Plan being amended to reprogram funds to TBRA to address housing needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rent Reasonableness Citations: 24 CFR 92.209(f) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: In accordance with the HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.209(f), a PJ must disapprove a lease if the rent is not reasonable, based on an assessment of rents charged for comparable unassisted rental units. The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.64(a) applies this requirement to Insular Areas. This waiver will permit PJs to provide immediate rental assistance to individuals and families seeking housing and assist individuals and families that have housing but are experiencing reduced or lost wages, without requiring an assessment of rents charged for comparable unassisted rental units. Page 398 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 5 Justification: Given the unprecedented need for rental assistance for individuals facing financial hardship during the pandemic, requiring PJs to conduct a rent comparison prior to providing rental assistance presents an undue administrative burden. PJs must focus on providing immediate housing for income-eligible individuals currently not in stable housing, as well as assistance to income-eligible individuals that currently have housing, but are unable to pay rent and/or utilities due to lost or reduced wages. In the latter case, some households affected by sudden economic disruptions may be occupying housing with rents that would exceed a PJ’s established rent reasonableness standard. Without this waiver, those households could not be assisted with HOME TBRA. Applicability: This waiver is applicable to TBRA provided to individuals and tenant households experiencing financial hardship because of a reduction or loss of income. This requirement is waived through December 31, 2020, for TBRA provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. PJs using this waiver authority must execute a rental assistance contract with the owner or tenant. Eligible Tenant-based Rental Assistance Costs and Maximum TBRA Subsidy Citation: 24 CFR 92.209(a) and (h) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.209(a) state that eligible TBRA costs include rental assistance and security deposit payments made to income-eligible households. PJs can also use HOME funds to provide utility deposit assistance if such assistance is provided in conjunction with TBRA or a security deposit payment. The amount of monthly utility costs included in HOME TBRA is limited by the utility allowance established by the PJ for its TBRA program, irrespective of whether those utilities are paid by the landlord or the tenant. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.209(h), the maximum amount of monthly assistance a PJ may pay to, or on behalf of, a tenant, may not exceed the difference between the PJ’s rent standard and 30 percent of the tenant’s monthly adjusted income. The PJ must establish a minimum tenant contribution to rent, and a rent standard that is based on local market conditions or the subsidy standards under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.64(a) apply these requirements to Insular Areas. This waiver will allow PJs to pay the full cost of monthly utilities in addition to rental assistance and security deposit payments for new and existing TBRA families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. PJs may provide up to 100 percent subsidy for rent, security deposit payments, and utility bills paid by tenants affected by a reduction or loss of income from the COVID-19 pandemic. The waiver also eliminates the need for the PJ to establish utility allowances for different types and sizes of units for its TBRA program, which eliminates a significant administrative burden. Page 399 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 6 Justification: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread loss or reduction of income, significantly affecting the financial stability of households, including existing TBRA families, and rendering many unable to pay rent and/or utilities. Households must be able to maintain the basic utilities required to ensure housing remains safe and sanitary. Permitting PJs to use HOME funds to pay for utilities will enable affected households to maintain decent, safe and sanitary housing, which necessarily requires electricity, water, and/or gas service during the pandemic. As individuals experience financial hardship, the amount of assistance required to ensure they remain housed will often exceed the PJ’s payment standard. In addition, individuals may be unable to pay the PJ’s minimum required tenant contribution toward rent. Requiring PJ’s to establish or revise payment standards and the minimum tenant contribution to rent policies in the current emergency would be burdensome and delay the provision of TBRA in response to the pandemic. Applicability: This waiver is applicable to TBRA provided to individuals or families experiencing financial hardship, including existing TBRA families that have experienced a loss or reduction in income due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This requirement is waived through December 31, 2020, for rental assistance provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. PJs using this waiver authority must execute a rental assistance contract with the owner or tenant for a term mutually agreed upon by all parties, but not to exceed the December 31, 2020, waiver period. The PJ may make utility payments directly to the tenant or utility company based on utility bills submitted for the assisted unit, either by mail or electronically. Term of Rental Assistance Contract Citation: 24 CFR 209(e) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 209(e) state that the term of the rental assistance contract must begin on the first day of the term of the lease. For a rental assistance contract between a PJ and an owner, the term of the contract must terminate upon termination of the lease. For a rental assistance contract between a PJ and a family, the term of the contract is not required to terminate upon the termination of the lease, but no payments may be made after lease termination until the family executes a new lease. The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.64(a) apply these requirements to Insular Areas. This waiver eliminates the requirement that the rental assistance contract must begin on the first day of the term of lease. Justification: This waiver is necessary to enable PJs to assist tenants that are currently housed, including existing TBRA households, but have experienced sudden financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because affected households already have an executed lease, it is impossible for the TBRA contract to begin on the first day of the term of the lease Applicability: This requirement is waived through December 31, 2020, for TBRA provided in Page 400 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 7 response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The PJ’s requirement to execute a rental assistance contract with the owner or tenant is not waived. PJs using this waiver authority must execute a rental assistance contract with the owner or tenant for a term mutually agreed upon by all parties, but not to exceed the December 31, 2020, waiver period. Tenant Protections – Lease Citation: 24 CFR 92.209(g) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.209(g) require that each HOME-assisted tenant have a lease that complies with the tenant protection requirements of 24 CFR 92.253(a) and (b). In accordance with 24 CFR 92.253(a), there must be a lease between the tenant and the owner of rental housing assisted with HOME TBRA. The lease must have a term of not less than one year, unless both parties mutually agree to a shorter period. The lease cannot contain any of the prohibited lease terms defined in 24 CFR 92.253(b). The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.64(a) apply these requirements to Insular Areas. This waiver will permit PJs to assist individuals currently housed but facing financial hardship, where an executed lease is already in place. Justification: During the COVID-19 pandemic, PJs may assist individuals that are already in rental units but are unable to pay rent and/or utilities due to job loss or reduced wages. These individuals already have an executed lease that may include one or more of the prohibited lease terms included in 24 CFR 92.253(b). Requiring PJs to immediately execute or amend leases creates an undue administrative burden and may disqualify some in-place tenants from receiving TBRA. Applicability: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the requirement that a tenant assisted by TBRA have a lease that complies with the requirements of 24 CFR 92.253(a) and (b) is waived through December 31, 2020, for rental assistance provided to tenants already housed who have an executed lease. PJs using this waiver authority are required to execute a rental assistance contract with the tenant for a term mutually agreed upon by all parties, but not to exceed the waiver period ending on December 31, 2020. PJs must still comply with all VAWA requirements contained in 24 CFR 92.359 by including, at a minimum, a lease addendum that addresses all VAWA requirements. Housing Quality Standards Citation: 24 CFR 92.209(i) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.209(i) require that all housing occupied by households receiving HOME TBRA must meet the housing quality standards (HQS) at 24 CFR 982.401. The PJ is required to inspect the unit for compliance prior to occupancy and annually thereafter. The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.64(a) Page 401 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 8 apply these requirements to Insular Areas. This waiver will permit the PJ to rapidly house or assist individuals affected by the COVID-19 pandemic without requiring an initial HQS inspection. Justification: The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented need for rental assistance for tenant households facing financial hardship. PJs must act quickly to address these needs and requiring HQS inspections of all units where HOME TBRA assistance is provided would create an administrative burden and reduce PJs’ ability to respond timely to the housing needs created by the pandemic. In addition, requiring initial HQS inspections would increase housing inspectors’ risk of contracting or spreading the COVID-19 virus. Applicability: This waiver is applicable to TBRA provided to tenant households experiencing financial hardship. This requirement is waived through December 31, 2020, for rental assistance provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The lead-safe housing requirements of 24 CFR part 35, subpart M, made applicable to units leased by recipients of HOME TBRA by the HOME regulation at 24 CFR 92.355, cannot be waived. Consequently, units built before 1978 must undergo visual evaluation and paint repair in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35, subpart M. PJs using this waiver authority must establish procedures to minimize the risk that tenants are in housing that does not meet HQS, as well as procedures for conducting physical inspections within 120 days following the end of the December 31, 2020, waiver period. Annual Inspection of Units Occupied by Recipients of HOME TBRA Citation: 24 CFR 92.504(d)(1)(iii); 24 CFR 92.209(i) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: Provisions require PJs to annually inspect each unit occupied by a recipient of HOME TBRA. Justification: Waiving the requirement that these annual inspections be performed according to schedule will protect the health of both inspectors and tenants by observing physical distancing recommendations to limit the spread of COVID-19. Applicability: The waiver is applicable to annual HQS re-inspections required to occur from the date of this memorandum through December 31, 2020. Within 120 days of the end of this waiver period, PJs must physically inspect units that would have been subject to HQS inspections during the waiver period. Income Determinations Citations: 24 CFR 92.203(a)(2) and 24 CFR 92.64(a) (Insular Areas) Explanation: The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.203(a)(2) require the PJ to determine a TBRA tenant’s annual income by examining at least 2 months of source Page 402 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda 9 documentation evidencing income and projecting anticipated income forward for the next 12 months. The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.64(a) apply these requirements to Insular Areas. This waiver will permit PJs to follow the regulations at 24 CFR 92.203(a)(1)(ii) in lieu of requiring a review of source documentation. The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.203(a)(1)(ii) allow the PJ to obtain a written statement of the amount of the family’s anticipated annual income and household size, along with a certification that the information is complete and accurate. Justification: Given the rapid and unanticipated economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, source documentation from the past two months may not reflect the current financial circumstances of many households. Requiring PJs to determine an individual’s annual income using source documentation would be administratively burdensome, may not reflect current or anticipated income, and may result in individuals or families being incorrectly disqualified from receiving TBRA. Applicability: This waiver is applicable to TBRA provided to individuals or families experiencing financial hardship. This requirement is waived through December 31, 2020, for rental assistance provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The PJ must ensure that the tenant’s self-certification indicates how the tenant’s financial situation has changed, (i.e., job loss or reduced wages), and includes all income, including any unemployment or emergency benefits received by the tenant as a result of the pandemic. However, for purposes of a tenant’s self-certification, emergency tax relief (commonly referred to as stimulus payments) should not be included as an emergency benefit. The PJ must include tenant income certifications in each project file. Questions regarding this waiver should be directed to Virginia Sardone, Director, Office of Affordable Housing Programs (OAHP), or your OAHP desk officer. Participating jurisdictions and other HOME Program participants should contact the CPD Division of their local HUD Field Office. Page 403 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda v . 0 0 5 P a g e | 1 June 10, 2025 ITEM TITLE Affordable Housing: Approve up to $4.0 Million for an Affordable Housing Development to be Located at 201 Third Ave Report Number: 25-0160 Location: 201 Third Avenue Department: Housing and Homeless Services G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: Yes Environmental Notice: This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations Section 15300.1 (Relation to Ministerial Projects). Recommended Action Adopt a Housing Authority resolution awarding a loan of up to $4.0M to Community HousingWorks for the development of affordable housing, from previously appropriated funds in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund, and authorizing the Director of the Housing Authority to negotiate and execute a loan agreement, regulatory agreement, and all associated loan documents, and to carry out all other actions necessary for the development of the Project. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY The Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (Housing Fund), administered by the Chula Vista Housing Authority (Housing Authority), has a balance of approximately $7.0 million that must be committed on or before June 30, 2025. To partially fulfill this obligation, staff recommends awarding $4.0 million in Housing Fund funds to a proposed 79-unit affordable project to be located at 201 Third Avenue, developed by Community HousingWorks. (This item is a reissuance of Successor Agency Resolution No. 2025-002, adopted on March 18, 2025, as a Housing Authority action.) ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations Section 15300.1 (Relation to Ministerial Projects). Section 21080 of the Public Resources Code exempts from the application of CEQA those projects over which public agencies exercise only ministerial authority. In addition, this activity is not a “project” and is therefor e not subject to the California Page 404 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 2 Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3). This determination is predicated on Section 15004 of the CEQA Guidelines, which provides direction to lead agencies on the appropriate timing for environmental review. This action does not constitute approval of a project. If any CEQA approval is required, such approval will occur once the environmental review has been completed in accordance with CEQA Section 15004. This action will not f oreclose review of alternatives or mitigation measures by the public as part of the CEQA process. The proposed actions are approval of a loan and do not constitute approval of the development activity. If required, future actions to consider and approve development entitlement approvals related to the future development of the site will require additional review under the provisions of CEQA by the lead agency. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Housing and Homelessness Advisory Commission considered the item on February 24, 2025, and voted 4-1-1 to provide an advisory recommendation for Housing Authority approval. DISCUSSION Reissuance as Housing Authority Action The proposed action was brought before Council as a Successor Agency action on March 18, 2025. The item was approved by a vote of 4-1. Staff subsequently determined that the item should have been considered and approved by the Housing Authority, not the Successor Agency. (While the Housing Authority is the Housing Successor within the meaning of California Health and Safety Code (HSC) 34176, it is not the Successor Agency, which has a distinct meaning and function under state law.) The resolution has been revised to remove all references to the Successor Agency and to reflect the proper titles of persons acting on behalf of the Housing Authority. Urgency of Commitment As discussed further below, the funds must be committed to a specific project on or before June 30, 2025. If not committed, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has authority to recover the funds on behalf of the State, for use in other jurisdictions. The proposed action will ensure that Housing Fund monies are used to meet the housing needs of Chula Vista residents. Housing Fund HSC 34176(b) specifies a process by which the local housing authority may automatically assume the rights, powers, assets, duties, and obligations of the housing functions of the local redevelopment agency following the dissolution of redevelopment in 2012. The Housing Authority fulfilled this criteria, and thus became the Housing Successor in 2012, assuming control of all housing-related assets and obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista, including the Housing Fund. The Housing Fund collects revenues primarily through loan repayments and bond administration fees. Under HSC Section 34176.1, successor agencies may not accumulate an “Excess Surplus” of funds, or a high unencumbered balance, as determined by a set formula. The Housing Authority currently has an Excess Surplus of $7,092,093 that must be expended or encumbered by June 30, 2025. The $4.0 million proposed in this resolution was already appropriated for affordable housing production on July 16, 2024 via Housing Authority Resolution No. 2024-006/City Council Resolution No. 2024-135. Tonight’s action allocates the Page 405 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 3 funds to this specific development. The bulk of the remaining Excess Surplus funds were committed to the Palomar Motel project on March 4, 2025. The Housing Fund is subject to state restrictions on the income level and target population for assisted units. Some of these requirements vary based on the composition of units that have been previously funded with Housing Fund monies over the past 10 years. The requirements for the current Excess Surplus funds are that 30% of assisted units must be restricted to Extremely Low Income households, i.e., at 30% of Area Median Income (AMI). Additionally, no more than 20% of units may be restricted at between 60% and 80% of AMI. Finally, in order to ensure a broad range of ages can access affordable housing, the current round of Excess Surplus funds may not be dedicated to senior housing. The funds would be disbursed in the form of a 55-year “residual receipts” loan, sometimes referred to as a “soft” loan. Repayments would be issued to the Housing Authority annually from a portion of “surplus cash flow,” i.e., net revenue. Any remaining balance would be due in full at the end of the 55 -year term. In connection with the loan, a regulatory agreement would also be executed restricting the occupancy to eligible low-income households and setting the income and rent limits in accordance with applicable thresholds. The loan would be evidenced by a promissory note and secured against the property with a deed of trust. Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) In the late summer of 2024, the City published an announcement that it was preparing to issue a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the construction of new affordable housing. The NOFA was issued on November 8, 2024, with a submittal deadline of Friday, December 20. The NOFA was advertised on the City’s website, via email to the developer community, and via the PlanetBids portal. The NOFA set out a number of threshold requirements that all projects had to meet in order to be considered eligible for funding: Site control (through direct ownership, a ground lease, active option to purchase, or other enforceable ability to develop the site) Application is complete, responsive, and responsible Budget: Projected development budget shows no financing gaps, with appropriate amou nts for reserves, contingency, etc. Budget: Projected positive cash flow for first 15 years of operations Timeline: Projected construction start within 3 years Experience: Developer and property management company (or key personnel) have developed/managed at least 3 affordable projects in past 10 years Income restrictions: At least 30% of units funded by the Housing Authority restricted at 30% of Area Median Income (AMI), and no more than 20% restricted at 60%-80% of AMI Not restricted to senior citizens (required in order to meet Housing Fund requirements set by State) For all projects that met the threshold requirements, projects were scored according to a number of factors: Affordability: points awarded based on the number of affordable units and the depth of affordability. (Because the minimum affordability requirements of Housing Fund dollars are already robust, this component was only lightly weighted.) Page 406 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 4 Location: priority given to projects in higher-resource neighborhoods, as well as projects close to amenities such as parks, schools, and transit. Since it was expected that many projects would still be in the preliminary stages of design, this was given heavy consideration. Readiness to proceed: points given to projects that had minimal barriers to planning & building approvals, had other financing commitments in place, and had a plan to address cost efficiency. This was also a major consideration in evaluating proposals. Developer Experience and proposal quality: points given to organizations with a superior track record in completing similar projects, and to proposals based on a holistic assessment of overall quality, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness in design and overall concept. Because affordable housing projects typically need additional funding from state and federal agencies, the scoring criteria was designed to align with the criteria set forth by California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) and HCD for their programs. Three proposals were submitted in response to the NOFA as detailed in Table 1. Table 1: NOFA Submittals Developer Project Name Address Number of Units Population Set-Asides Community HousingWorks E St Apts 201 Third Avenue 79 People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), general low-income SBCS Corporation and M. Kevin O’Neill Construction, Inc. Terraces on Third 647 Third Avenue 54 Veterans, general low- income Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation Park Hill UMC 545 E. Naples 70 Large families, general low-income The review committee was comprised of three staff members from the Housing and Homeless Services Department and one staff member from the Finance Department. After reviewing the submittals and conducting a preliminary scoring exercise, staff determined that the Terraces on Third proposal, while commendable, was not competitive enough in a number of areas to be considered for funding. The remaining top two proposals, E St Apts and Park Hill UMC, were very close in the preliminary scoring. In order to make a final determination, staff conducted interviews with Community HousingWorks (CHW) and Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation (Wakeland). The interviews were each one hour in length and consisted of a short presentation by the developers, followed by a question- and-answer segment. The information gleaned from the interviews were factored into the final scoring for each project. While the final scores between the CHW and Wakeland proposals were close, the clear consensus among staff was that CHW’s proposal was the most appropriate awardee. While Wakeland’s proposal is situated in an appealing location based on CTCAC scoring and has strong potential for future funding rounds, CHW’s proposal has a clearer path to obtaining the necessary financing and beginning construction more quickly. Page 407 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 5 In addition, it would serve a target population that is underserved by both market-rate developers and conventional affordable housing projects, at a location appropriate to their needs. Community HousingWorks CHW is a nonprofit affordable housing developer founded in 1988. It currently oversees more than 4,000 units of affordable housing across 51 developments. The organization is currently leasing up its most recently completed project, Kimball Highland Apartments in National City. The organization has the experience, personnel, and financial strength to ensure the long-term stability of its projects. CHW’s business model is to remain long-term owners of its developments, ensuring responsible long-term stewardship of its properties. Although CHW is based in San Diego County, and two-thirds of its portfolio is located in the county, this would be its first development in Chula Vista. This expansion of Chula Vista’s developer pool will help promote a more robust and competitive industry. E St Apartments Project The E St Apartments project (the Project) is located at 201 Third Avenue, at the southeast intersection of E Street and Third Avenue, in Chula Vista’s historic downtown Third Avenue district (City Council District 2). The site is less than a block away from two other affordable projects, Citrus Villa Apartments (completed at the end of 2024) and Congregational Place (scheduled to be completed in January 2026). The City has long identified the Third Avenue district as a place where greater density is appropriate, and together these three developments will help support local businesses and downtown activity. The E St Apts project is the only non-senior project of the three and would complement the other two projects in serving a range of needs within the community. Figure 1: E St Apts Location Page 408 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 6 Prior Land Use & Proposed Project The site is currently vacant and primed for development. A market-rate developer previously conceived a project for the site with a mix of conventional apartments and live-work lofts. The previous developer generated building plans and secured planning approvals in using the Density Bonus program, a State program that allows for additional units and reductions in zoning standards in exchange for restricting a portion of units as affordable. As previously approved the project would have provided 53 multi-family units, including five live-work units and six very-low income units, and 20 parking spaces. CHW’s proposal removes the live-work lofts, adds units, reduces the parking spaces, and adds space for resident services. CHW is exploring the possibility of including a small ground-floor commercial space in its design. While not required by applicable regulations, this would help fulfill the goals of the Urban Core Specific Plan and foster street-level activity. This space could potentially serve as a public-facing office of the San Diego Regional Center (its services partner), community-serving retail, or other neighborhood space. CHW’s modifications to the approved plans can be approved through a plan change or a declaration of substantial conformance with the approved plans. While a declaration of substantial confo rmance is a discretionary process, it can be approved at the staff level without a public hearing. Alternatively, the Project could potentially be approved as a new proposal with the use of AB 2162, which provides by right approvals for projects with at least 25% of units set aside as supportive housing. All of these options provide a streamlined pathway to approvals. As proposed, the Project consists of 79 units, 75 of which are studio apartments, with three two-bedroom units for residents and one two-bedroom unit reserved for an onsite manager. Twenty of the units would be set aside for adults with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (IDD). CHW has an agreement with the San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) to provide referrals and supportive services for the IDD units. Page 409 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 7 The proposed affordability of the Project (using 2024-25 figures) is shown below in Table 2. Table 2: Unit Affordability Bedroom Type # of Units Income Category / % of Area Median Income (AMI) Maximum Rent (incl. utilities) Maximum Income Studio 10 Extremely Low Income (30% of AMI) $795 $31,850* Studio 8 Very Low Income (50% of AMI) $1,326 $53,050* Studio 57 Low Income (60% of AMI) $1,591 $63,650* 2 BR 1 Extremely Low Income (30% of AMI) $1,023 $40,950** 2 BR 1 Very Low Income (50% of AMI) $1,705 $68,200** 2 BR 1 Low Income (60% of AMI) $2,046 $81,850** *Assumes a household size of 1. Limit may vary based on actual household size. **Assumes a household size of 3. Limit may vary based on actual household size. The Extremely Low Income units would be reserved for IDD individuals, who typically rely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and other public resources for income. The remaining units would enable households across a diverse array of incomes to live affordably in high-quality housing. Due to the physical constraints of the site, only minimal parking (4 spaces) would be provided, which would be reserved for property management and resident services staff. While the impact of a relative lack of parking on the Project’s operations, as well as on nearby street parking, is a concern, it is expected that few, if any, of the 20 IDD households will drive or own cars. Moreover, the Project is located in the most pedestrian-friendly and transit-rich district of Chula Vista, a point of emphasis in the City’s Urban Core Specific Plan. According to 2023 Census data, more than 1,700 households in zip code 91910 (about 6.5% of total households) do not own a vehicle. The Project will be heavily marketed to these households who live and work nearby, and who may already be reliant on public transit for their daily needs. This may include, for example, young adults who do not yet own a car, senior citizens with limited mobility, and local retail and service industry staff who can walk or ride transit to work. This marketing strategy aligns with the City’s priority policy for affordable housing leasings, codified in Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.94.080, and helps ensure that the Project primarily benefits existing Chula Vista residents whose lives are centered around the downtown district. The City is also implementing strategies to optimize parking facilities and manage the availability of curb parking downtown as the area grows. In August 2022, the City adopted the Downtown Chula Vista Parking District, and it owns and operates the Park Plaza parking structure, a few blocks away from the Project at F Street and Garrett Avenue. This parking structure is free to the public and consistently has available spaces at any given time. Finally, CHW intends to explore creative options for meeting the transportation needs of Project residents, including entering into arrangements for offsite parking with nearby public or private parking lots; securing free monthly transit passes for residents; providing secure onsite bicycle parking; and coordinating with Circuit, a local ridesharing service partially funded by the City. A secondary potential concern is that studio apartments don’t reflect the needs or character of Chula Vista’s family-oriented community. While Chula Vista continues to have a need for larger family-sized units, the proposed project will fill a growing niche within the community. Census data shows that nearly one quarter of all households in zip code 91910 consist of single adults. The creation of more small apartments may also relieve overcrowding in larger family-sized homes by allowing household members to move out and live independently. Page 410 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 8 Project Financing and Timeline The ability to secure state and federal financing is typically the largest hurdle for affordable projects. CHW’s proposal has a leg up in that department. The County of San Diego released its own NOFA in November, also closing on December 20, 2024, which included a pool of Project-Based Section 8 Vouchers (PBVs). PBVs provide a guaranteed long-term operating subsidy for the units and can be used to underwrite a larger conventional construction loan and permanent mortgage. CHW applied to the County’s NOFA on behalf of the Project, and expressed optimism that it will receive an award. In addition, SDRC’s affiliation with the Project in connection with the IDD set-aside also opens up the opportunity to secure up to $2.85 million in construction subsidies for the Project, a unique advantage among affordable projects. The projected timeline for the Project would be to apply for an allocation of Low Income Housing Tax Credits in January 2026. If successful, it would be able to begin construction in September 2026. Construction would take approximately 18 months, and units would begin leasing up in February 2028. Table 3: Financing and Timeline Source Amount Application Date Housing Authority $4,000,000 December 2024 County of San Diego Project- Based Vouchers (20 PBVs) December 2024 San Diego Regional Center $2,850,000 March 2025 HCD Multifamily Housing Program (MHP) $5,000,000 April 2025 San Diego County Innovative Housing Trust Fund $5,427,200 September 2025 Tax Credit Equity $26,559,062 January 2026 Private Loan $10,460,000 September 2026 Total Development Cost* $52,247,600 *Total Development Cost exceeds individual sources because funding scenario is still fluid and has been simplified here for the sake of clarity. Local Housing Trust Fund The City has applied to HCD for $500,000 in Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF) funds, to be paired with a $500,000 local match from inclusionary housing funds. Chula Vista’s NOFA included this additional $1,000,000 as a potential funding source for projects. HCD recently issued a preliminary denial of the City’s application, which the City has appealed. If the appeal is successful and the funds are awarded, staff may seek Council approval to award a portion of the LHTF funds to the Project. These additional funds would help expand the development scope and help bring it forward into construction sooner. Conclusion and Next Steps E St Apartments is a thoughtful proposal that meets all requirements of the NOFA and the Housing Fund regulations. The design, budget, populations served, and path to completion have all been carefully considered. Once developed, the Project will be an asset to Western Chula Vista and the Third Avenue corridor in particular. Staff is pleased to recommend it for $4.0 million in Housing Fund funds. Page 411 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 9 If approved, the Housing Authority and CHW would enter into a Loan Agreement by July 30, 2025, in order to meet State requirements for the commitment of Excess Surplus Housing Fund funds. The loan itself would not be disbursed until a later date, to be negotiated between CHW and the Housing Authority based on the completion of specific milestones and subject to regulations such as the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT The funds for this action were appropriated via Housing Authority Resolution No. 2024-006 (City Council Resolution No. 2024-135), adopted on July 16, 2024. There is no additional current-year fiscal impact. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Loan repayments will be deposited to the Housing Fund and recycled into funding for new affordable housing projects and programs. There are no other long-term fiscal impacts.

Recommended Action Adopt resolution waiving the competitive bidding requirements and authorizing the purchase of up to twenty-two (22) Ford Interceptor Utility Vehicles from Sedano Ford. SUMMARY On January 9, 2024, the City Council approved the purchase of up to twenty-five (25) Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid Vehicles from Sedano Ford. Sedano Ford has offered to provide the 2025 model at the City’s current contracted price. The Police Department is requesting to waive the competitive bidding requirements and purchase up to twenty-two (22) Ford Interceptor Utility Vehicles from Sedano Ford. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. Page 415 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 2 DISCUSSION Request For Bid (RFB) # B14-2024 – Ford Interceptor Utility Vehicle On November 6, 2023, the City of Chula Vista issued RFB # B14-2024 for ten to twenty-five 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid vehicles for the Police Department. As a result of the bid process, the City recommended the selection of Sedano Ford to purchase the vehicles. During the bid process, 154 vendors were notified of the opportunity. The following three bids were received: Vendor Item Description Unit Cost Desert Auto Group V, LLC 2025 Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid Vehicle $71,666.13 Fritts Ford 2025 Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid Vehicle $58,581.13 Sedano Ford 2025 Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid Vehicle $58,171.89 On January 9, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 2024-005 approving the purchase of up to twenty- five (25) Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid Vehicles from Sedano Ford as a result of RFB # B14-2024. The Police Department purchased the 25 vehicles previously authorized by the City Council. The Police Department now needs to purchase additional vehicles. Based on the vehicle production schedule and current inventory at Sedano Ford, the vendor has offered to provide the 2025 model at the City’s current contracted price, from the previous contract awarded in January 2024. Additionally, Sedano Ford has offered to waive the fee to upgrade the vehicle from a hybrid to the EcoBoost, which is valued at $1,000 per unit. The Police Department is requesting to waive the competitive bid requirement and purchase up to twenty - two (22) Ford Interceptor Utility Vehicles from Sedano Ford. In accordance with Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) section 2.56.70(B)(3) Impractical/Impossible, the City Council may waive the competitive bidding requirements if determined by resolution of the City Council that the competitive bidding requirements as applied to that contract are impractical for the City. Due to the current economic climate and tariff uncertainty, the City is materially better served by waiving the competitive bid process and applying a different purchasing procedure, consistent with good purchasing practices, and approved by the Purchasing Agent. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), is not applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no current year fiscal impact as a result of this action. Page 416 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 3 ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The purchase of twenty-two (22) Ford Interceptor Utility vehicles will cost $1,279,782. This funding is included within the fiscal year 2025-26 Adopted Budget in both the Measure A and Measure P Sales Tax Funds. The ongoing fiscal impact from maintenance and fuel costs will be considered as part of the annual budget development process. ATTACHMENTS 1.

SUMMARY The City Attorney’s Office provides legal review, advice, consultation, and representation on a wide variety of legal issues and litigation related to City operations and staff. The advisory and transactional section of the City Attorney’s Office is currently understaffed. The amendment to this agreement will allow the City to continue to use the law firm of Liebert Cassidy Whitmore for on-call legal services as needed. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with CEQA and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. Page 421 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 2 DISCUSSION The City Attorney’s Office provides a wide variety of legal services to the City, including legal review, advice, consultation, and representation on diverse matters impacting the City, including its officials, management, and departments. The City Attorney’s Office has utilized private law firms to assist in managing the City’s legal needs. The City presently has a legal services agreement with Liebert Cassidy Whitmore for general on-call legal services. This firm has provided responsive, high quality legal assistance on a variety of matters pursuant to this agreement, including labor and employment law matters. Given the large volume of legal work and the temporarily reduced level of staffing in the City Attorney’s Office, the capacity in the existing agreement has been expended. The requested third amendment to the legal services agreement for on-call legal services with Liebert Cassidy Whitmore will increase the not-to- exceed amount on the agreement from $50,000 to $100,000. The cost of this contract amendment is included within the current year budget, so no additional appropriation is necessary. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no additional current-year fiscal impact as a result of this action. Funding is available based on current year budget appropriations. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact as a result of this action. ATTACHMENTS 1. Third Amendment to LSA with Liebert Cassidy Whitmore Staff Contact: Marco A.

Cassell appeared in court on June 16. Cassell was originally indicted in 2017 and pleaded not guilty. That same year he resigned his post as board member at Third Avenue Village Association citing personal reasons. Cassell and six other defendants were accused of directing payments to Sergio Barajas, a one-time director of the National Community Stabilization Trust, a non-profit that used federal funds to restore foreclosed properties that were lost in the 2008 housing crisis. As alleged in the indictment Cassell, doing business as Heartland Coalition and Ignition Ventures, paid Barajas about $185,025 in exchange for receiving about 626 NCST foreclosures and made about $2.8 million from resale of those properties. According to court records, Cassell pleaded guilty in March as part of a group plea agreement.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Housing Authority adopt a resolution authorizing and appropriating $3,550,000 from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund for administration costs, homeless prevention services, and affordable housing production. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY The Chula Vista Housing Authority, acting in its capacity as the Housing Successor (as defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 34176) to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista, administers the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (“Housing Fund”). In Fiscal Year 2025-26 (“FY 25-26”), staff recommends Housing Fund monies be appropriated for the following actions: $300,000 for administration, $250,000 for homelessness prevention services, and $3 million for affordable housing production. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Page 449 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION On April 23, 2025, the Housing and Homeless Advisory Commission voted 5-0 to recommend the proposed funding allocations for Housing Authority approval. DISCUSSION Background The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista, along with all redevelopment agencies statewide, was dissolved by the State legislature in 2012. At the time of dissolution, the remaining assets and liabilities of the former redevelopment agency were required to be assumed by a Housing Successor, as defined in California Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 34176. Pursuant to HSC Section 34176(b)(2), the Chula Vista Housing Authority was designated as the Housing Successor. All rights, powers, committed assets, liabilities, duties, and obligations associated with the affordable housing activities of the agency were transferred to the Housing Authority, who acting as the Housing Successor, transferred these assets to the Housing Fund. As of June 30, 2024, the unencumbered balance of the Housing Fund was $14,741,072. Under HSC Section 34176.1, Housing Funds may be spent on: 1. Administrative costs for the operation of the housing successor, at the greater of (a) $200,000 per year, adjusted for inflation ($263,100 for FY 2023-24); or (b) 5% of the statutory value of real property owned by the Housing Successor and the value of loans and grants receivable ($1,304,188 for FY 2023-24); 2. Homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services up to $250,000 per year; and 3. Affordable housing development assisting households with up to 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), subject to specific income and age targets over a five-year period. State law also limits the amount of uncommitted funds a housing successor may retain. Funds that exceed this amount are known as the “Excess Surplus,” calculated based on the greater of the following: $1,000,000; or The total amount of deposits made into the Housing Fund over the preceding four years. Once an excess surplus is determined, the Housing Successor must account for these funds separately and commit said monies within three years. Excess Surplus funds may be claimed by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) if not committed within a timely manner. Entering Fiscal Year FY 24-25 the Housing Fund had an Excess Surplus balance of $10,640,600, of which at least $7,092,093 needed to be expended or encumbered by June 30, 2025. These funds were primarily committed via two project loan approvals for the E Street Apartments ($4 million) and Palomar Motel permanent supportive housing project ($3 million) in March 2025. The Housing and Homeless Advisory Commission recommended both projects for funding at their February 24, 2025 meeting. Combined with administrative and other eligible programming, the City expects to expend or encumber approximately $7.3 million by June 30, 2025, leaving a balance of approximately $3,340,600 which will need to be expended or encumbered by June 30, 2026. Page 450 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 3 The proposed appropriations will fulfill this requirement and enable continued compliance with State requirements for the Housing Fund. Administration ($300,000) Pursuant to HSC Section 34176.1(a)(1), the City reported an available administrative cost limit [HSC Section 34176.1(a)(1)] of $1,304,188 in FY 2023-24. Because eligible administrative costs are primarily limited to compliance and monitoring-related activities, staff is proposing to commit $300,000 in FY 25-26 Housing Funds for administration of Housing Successor activities. This allocation includes the extension of existing contracts with RSG, Inc., which performs inspections and compliance reviews of Housing Authority assets, and Housing Compliance Services, which maintains a portal for compliance reporting. Homeless Prevention Services ($250,000) Up to $250,000 in Housing Fund monies may be used for Homeless Prevention Services per year if the former redevelopment agency did not have any outstanding inclusionary housing or replacement housing production requirements as of 2012 [HSC Section 34176.1(a)(2)]. The City is eligible for this expense because it did not have any outstanding inclusionary or replacement housing requirements upon dissolution and intends to commit $250,000 towards the Homeless Prevention Program in FY 25-26 Housing Funds. Homelessness Prevention Program ($250,000) – Senior Shallow Subsidy Program Housing insecurity among older adults is an increasingly urgent issue as fixed incomes fail to keep pace with rising housing costs, often forcing older adults to forego basic need purchases such as healthy food or medicine in lieu of paying rent. The impact of eviction or displacement is especially severe for seniors, who may experience compounding health and mental health challenges as a result. Shallow subsidy programs have recently been a critical intervention in addressing those risks by promoting aging in place, housing stability, and long-term community wellness. The City’s initiative builds on two successful regional models. In 2022, Serving Seniors piloted the region’s first shallow rental subsidy program, providing $300 monthly subsidies for 24 months to 21 clients aged 63– 82. The program targeted low-income seniors and was funded with $350,000. Following this, the County of San Diego (“County”) launched a larger pilot in 2023, offering $500 monthly subsidies to 222 older adult households for up to 18 months. In 2024, the County expanded its program to serve an additional 160 households with a total budget of $2 million. These models proved that shallow subsidies can be an effective tool in preventing homelessness, especially for seniors living on fixed incomes. In FY 25-26, the City will allocate $250,000 in Housing Funds to implement a Pilot Senior Shallow Rental Subsidy Program aimed at preventing homelessness among older adult residents. The program is designed to provide fixed, monthly rental assistance to eligible low-income seniors (ages 55+) at risk of housing instability, helping them to remain housed and avoid displacement. The Pilot Senior Shallow Rental Subsidy Program offers a $500 monthly subsidy, paid directly to landlords, and is not tied to rent fluctuations. Instead, it serves as a stabilizing measure to help bridge the gap between income and housing costs. Tenants remain responsible for the remaining portion of their rent and must meet annual recertification requirements to remain eligible. Prioritization of applicants is based on Housing Successor funding guidelines, which require an equitable distribution of Housing Funds. Priority for the program is given to households earning 30% of Area Median Income (“AMI”) or less, with at least 30% of funds reserved for this population. Households earning between Page 451 of 461 City of Chula Vista - City Council June 10, 2025 Revised Agenda P a g e | 4 31% and 50% of AMI are eligible as funding allows. No more than 20% of total program funds may be used to assist households earning between 60% and 80% of AMI. This tiered priority structure, outlined in the program’s Priority Selection Process, ensures that funds are equitably distributed and that the most vulnerable households are served first. Eligible participants must reside in Chula Vista, be the primary leaseholder, and demonstrate rent burden or housing instability. Households receiving long-term federal rental assistance are not eligible, though those who previously received COVID-19 rental relief may still qualify. With a total allocation of $250,000, the City anticipates assisting approximately 40 older adult households in the initial year of the program, depending on duration of enrollment and continued funding availability. If approved by this action, staff would anticipate opening the pilot program in early July 2025. Affordable Housing Production ($3,000,000) Affordable housing development is a primary function of the Housing Fund. “Development” is broadly defined to include new construction, substantial rehabilitation, acquisition/rehabilitation, and preservation of existing affordable housing. HSC Section 34176.1 prescribes income and age requirements for projects assisted through the Housing Fund, as measured by various compliance timeframes, summarized below: Over each five-year compliance period (the current period beginning July 1, 2019), at least 30 percent of such development expenditures must assist extremely low-income households (30% of AMI), while no more than 20 percent may assist low-income households (between 60% to 80% of AMI). The balance of the funds may be used on very low-income households (defined as households earning between 30% and 60% of AMI). The Housing Successor is on track to be in compliance with this requirement during the current five-year compliance period. If more than 50% of the total aggregate number of rental units produced by the city, housing authority, or former redevelopment agency during the past 10 years are restricted to seniors, the housing successor may not spend more Housing Funds on senior rental housing. It is the City’s intent to issue a Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”) in summer of 2025 to provide up to $3,000,000 in FY 25-26 Housing Funds for financing towards a project that meets the Housing Successor expenditure and production requirements. The exact timing of the NOFA will be based on feedback from the developer community and other agencies to maximize the potential for leveraging of other funds. After the NOFA process is completed, staff will return to the Housing & Homeless Advisory Commission and City Council with a funding recommendation for a specific project. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.

This action will allocate surplus funds from the Housing Fund in the amount of $300,000 for administration, $250,000 for a Homelessness Prevention Program, and $3,000,000 towards affordable housing development as detailed in Table 1.
