applied for program funds to administer one or more eligible activities; and

Allocation (“PLHA”) Program and has been awarded a total of $6,122,919 in formula-based funds
across five allocation years from 2019 to 2023; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted its initial PLHA Plan through Resolution No. 2020-161 on
July 14, 2020, and subsequently amended the Plan via Resolution No. 2023-001 to designate all
PLHA funds for bridge shelter operations and associated wrap-around services at the Chula Vista
Village at Otay shelter; and
WHEREAS, the Department may approve funding allocations for the PLHA Program,
subject to the terms and conditions of the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Final Guidelines

WHEREAS, on December 3, 2024, the City adopted Resolution No. 2024-229 in response

AOWH designation contained therein; and
WHEREAS, the Department has confirmed that no further amendment or formal
submission is required for the City to revert to its previously approved PLHA Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that Resolution No. 2024-229 is no longer necessary
and that the funding designation set forth in Resolution No. 2023-001 remains valid, consistent
with current Department guidance, and aligned with the City’s strategic priorities, including the
continued operation of the Chula Vista Village at Otay Shelter; and
WHEREAS, rescinding Resolution No. 2024-229 will promote transparency and

and ongoing use of PLHA funds for emergency shelter operations and related services.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista, the City
Council finds and declares that this action is consistent with guidance issued by the California
