ITEM TITLE: Report: Application for Rental
Rehabilitation Program funds for FY 1991-1992
Resolution \~~\~ Approving Rental
Rehabilitation Program description and
related documents, and authorizing submittal
to HUD
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Director 0? .
REVIEWED BY: City Manage~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes___No_X_)
The city is participating in the U. S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development Rental Rehabilitation Program for FY
1990-1991, having been allocated $68,000. Our allocation
for FY 1991-1992 is $37,000. This allocation of funds is in
addition to other funds that the City receives from the
federal government. In order to receive these funds we must
submit an application to HUD.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution approving
the Rental Rehabilitation Program and documents for FY 1991-
1992, and authorizing the submittal to HUD.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The Rental Rehabilitation Program (RRP) which was created by
the 1983 Housing and Urban-Rural Recovery Act is designed to
improve the supply of rental housing units affordable to
lower-income families. The RRP uses a dual approach.
First, it provides grants to localities for rehabilitation
assistance to private property owners of substandard multi-
family units occupied by lower-income families, and it also
provides rental subsidies through the local housing
authority to the low-income tenants of the rehabilitated
units to assure housing affordability. The provision of the
rental subsidies to the units' tenants avoids those frequent
circumstances where the debt service incurred by property
owners is passed on to the tenants to the degree that the
tenant's rents are no longer affordable.
The creation of the RRP reflects the federal emphasis on
improving and preserving the nation's existing housing stock
~-I
rather than underwriting new housing construction. The
program also responds to the Federal trend towards local
determination. After establishing basic benefit and
management requirements, the enabling act allows broad
opportunities for local program design and flexibility.
Our allocation for this year is $37,000. Last year we
received $68,000. The amount of funds allocated to each
jurisdiction is based on a formula which considers the
following local factors: the number of low-income rental
households; the number of rental units built to 1940; and
the number of rental units with overcrowding, high rent
costs, incomplete kitchen facilities, or incomplete
plumbing. The City is receiving a significant reduction in
funding because the amount of authorized funding for the RRP
in Fiscal Year 1991 was less than in Fiscal Year 1990.
The attached program description which has previously been
approved by Council has been updated to incorporate
information on our recent housing rehabilitation activities
and qualifications.
FISCAL IMPACT:
the recommended
by HUD.
No general fund monies would be involved in
action. Program expenses would be provided

RENTAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM
CITY OF CHULA VISTA
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The City of Chula vista will encourage and assist in the
rehabilitation of residential rental units in Chula vista
under the Rental Rehabilitation Program authorized by the U.
S. community Development and Urban-Rural Recovery Act of
1983. Grant and rental subsidy resources available from HUD
will be used to increase the stock of standard rental
housing in the City and to assure the affordability of such
housing to lower income families. The program has been
designed to maximize both improvement assistance to
substandard rental units which will house larger families
and affordability to very low-income households.
I. PROGRAM ACTIVITIES
In FY 1991-1992, the city of Chula vista will encourage and
assist in the rehabilitation of approximately 5 rental
dwelling units. The program will be pursued by the City's
existing staff responsible for the City's Community Housing
Improvement Program (CHIP) which is funded by the City of
Chula vista Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income
Housing Fund. Rental projects in the targeted neighborhoods
will be identified for assistance consideration, using the
Housing Rehabilitation Specialist/Code Enforcement Officer
and the Housing Rehabilitation Administrator. Projects
evidencing substandard conditions and predominant occupancy
by lower income tenants will be encouraged to apply for
program assistance. Proposed projects will be evaluated by
the Loan Committee of the existing CHIP Rehabilitation
Program for satisfaction of program goals. Approved
projects will be referred to a City-selected lender or loan
processor, for both market rate private rehabilitation loans
and program loans. Program loans will be in the form of
ten-year, 0% interest deferred loans, forgiven in full at
term, provided the owner does not discriminate or convert
the property to condominiums during the term of the loan.
Maximum assistance will be 50% of the per unit
rehabilitation cost, to a maximum of $6500 per unit for one
bedroom units, $7500 per unit for two bedroom units, and
$8500 per unit for units with three or more bedroom units.
Program loans and attendant prohibitions will be secured by
a lien on the subject property. Affected eligible tenants
will receive a preference for section 8 Existing rental
subsidies from the San Diego County Housing Authority.
Affected lower income tenants not suitably housed in
rehabilitated units will receive technical and financial
relocation assistance from program funds.

Two staff members will be working on the Rental
Rehabilitation Program, Tony ciotti and Roger Jones. Mr.
Ciotti has been the City's Housing Rehabilitation
Coordinator for 13 years, and he has been certified by NAHRO
as a Rehabilitation Finance Specialist. He has primary
responsibility for the administration and execution of the
program. Roger Jones is the City's Housing Rehabilitation
Specialist, and he is certified by NAHRO as a Rehabilitation
Construction Specialist. He conducts the initial
inspections to determine Code violations and items in need
of rehabilitation.
II. NEIGHBORHOOD SELECTION
The Rental Rehabilitation Program will be operated in the
CHIP target neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are among
the lowest income neighborhoods in the city, with 1980
Census data indicating that the median income in the Census
Tracts these neighborhoods comprise is below 80% of the area
median income. These neighborhoods are a mix of single-
family and multifamily units, with the great majority of
rental rates being below prevailing market rates in Chula
vista and below the current section 8 Existing Fair Market
Rents. Capital Improvement activities and redevelopment of
the surrounding commercial areas promise to revitalize these
declining neighborhoods, but the modest nature of the
housing stock and the scope of the revitalization activities
will not result in gentrification of the neighborhoods.
Rent levels will rise over the next five years, but not at
as great a rate as rents in the market area.
Selection of the neighborhoods is based on 1980 Census data,
A Housinq Studv of the citv of Chula Vista, dated May 1984,
and field observation.
III. LOWER INCOME BENEFIT
A minimum of 70% of the rental rehabilitation grant will be
used to assist lower income families. One-hundred percent
lower income benefit will be striven for, but achieving that
level is unlikely. No neighborhoods in Chula Vista are so
significantly lower income, and no rental projects are so
significantly substandard, that more than 70% low income
occupancy of a rental project would likely be encountered.
If 100% lower income occupancy were necessary, significant
numbers of non-lower income families would have to be
displaced by the property owner/applicant, which the city
feels is an unacceptable circumstance. Given the
characteristics of the Chula Vista neighborhoods and the
displacement which would result, no practical program design
exists which would achieve 100% low income benefit level.
Through the public hearing process to consider the program
description, the public has been consulted regarding the
inability to achieve a 100% lower income benefit level.
J~-~

IV. USE OF RENTAL REHABILITATION GRANTS FOR HOUSING FOR
FAMILIES
A minimum of 70% of the units assisted under the program
will be two-bedroom or larger. First priority for
assistance will go to three bedroom units. As apartment
projects in Chula vista seldom contain three bedroom units,
outreach will be concentrated on rental duplexes. All
assistance given under the program will be approved by the
City's CHIP Loan Committee, using as one of their criteria
for project selection the goal of a minimum of 70% total
program assistance to units of two bedrooms or larger and
highest priority to three-bedroom units.
V. USE OF RENTAL REHABILITATION GRANTS FOR UNITS IN
SUBSTANDARD CONDITION THAT ARE OCCUPIED BY VERY LOW-INCOME
FAMILIES
Priority will be given to projects with substandard units
occupied by very low-income families. All assistance given
under the program will be approved by the City'S CHIP Loan
Committee, using as one of their criteria for project
selection the priority to projects with substandard units
occupied by very low-income families.
VI. SELECTION OF PROPOSALS
Proposals will be selected by the CHIP Loan Committee based
on the following criteria:
a. Correction of substandard units, especially those
occupied by very low income families.
b. predominance of assistance to large families in
lower-income categories, with a minimum of 70% of
all units assisted being two bedrooms or larger,
and with highest priority going to three-bedroom
units.
c. Maximum stimulation of private investment.
d. Minimization of displacement of tenants.
The Loan Committee will also evaluate the pro forma and loan
processing information in order to select financially
feasible projects with maximum program benefit. Operating
income and replacement reserve levels will be considered.
The Loan Committee will consider the distribution of Section
8 Existing Vouchers to a project or the provision of
financial relocation assistance in their evaluation of
program benefit. Relocation expenses paid to project unit
~~5
4
displacees will be deducted from the per unit maximum
assistance levels.
VII. FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY
The Rental Rehabilitation Program will be financially
feasible. Private funds will be available through private
lending institutions, with lending services for both program
deferred loans and private loans obtained from the Bank of
America.
VIII. NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION
Neighborhood preservation is currently under way in the
target neighborhood, using the City of Chula Vista
Redevelopment Agency Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund
and program income from rehabilitation loans made in the
past years using CDBG funds for housing rehabilitation,
Block Grant-funded Capital Improvement Projects, and Block
Grant-funded social service activities. Additional property
improvement under the program will further enhance
neighborhood preservation in target areas.
IX. SCHEDULE FOR COMMITTING RENTAL REHABILITATION GRANT
AMOUNTS
Specific projects have not yet been selected for the
program, but as the City operates an existing multifamily
rehabilitation program using Redevelopment Agency and CDBG
program income funds as previously mentioned. Therefore,
projects suitable for this program can be easily identified.
All staff and mechanisms for processing and approving loans
are in place.
Our best local estimate is that the average subsidy per unit
will be $7500. Therefore, the program would rehabilitate
approximately 5 units in 12 months. As it would be most
advantageous for the Loan Committee to evaluate a number of
project proposals simultaneously, project proposals will be
batched for consideration. The total grant amount should be
committed by May 31, 1992. .
X. NEED FOR RENTAL HOUSING ASSISTANCE
Not applicable.
XI. NON-DISCRIMINATION AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
Affirmative marketing and fair housing principles will be
pursued by the program. The program will not participate in
unit marketing, but property owners will be counseled in
affirmative marketing principles and monitored for
compliance.
~~-b
5
The city will provide fair housing counseling to owners of
assisted units and to perspective tenants. The following
steps will be taken:
a. written material on Federal Fair Housing Laws will
be distributed to owners and tenants. All
advertisements or public announcements regarding
the program will include the Equal Housing
Opportunity logo.
b. Each unit assisted through the Rental
Rehabilitation Program will be marketed in a manner
to affirmatively further fair housing, including
but not limited to the following:
1) Listing available units with the Section 8
Existing Marketing Section of the Housing
Authority
2) Attempting to fill vacant units with families
who are active certificate holders through the
Section 8 program, or who are applicants on the
waiting list for Section 8 certificates or
vouchers.
3) Using the Equal Housing Opportunity logo in any
newspaper advertisement or written
communication to community groups,
organizations, agencies, or other community
contacts.
Owners will utilize various community contacts to advertise
unit availability to those persons in the housing market
area least likely to apply for the unit. Applications will
be solicited from such individuals.
The City will gather and maintain records to demonstrate
compliance as follows:
a. Copies of all written material regarding vacant
units for rent will be kept by the property owner
and by the city. Records will be kept of
applications received in response to available
vacancies.
b. The City will periodically review affirmative
marketing efforts by owners to ensure compliance
with Equal Housing opportunity provisions. When an
owner has failed to follow affirmative marketing
requirements, appropriate actions, available under
program regulations and/or applicable laws, will be
taken to enforce conformity. In cases where
housing discrimination is established to have
occurred, such established housing descrimination
J{-?
6
shall be a condition of default on program deferred
loans.
Owners will be encouraged to comply with provisions of
affirmative marketing of the units for no less than seven
years after the completion date of rehabilitation of all
units in the project.

RENTAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM TENANT ASSISTANCE POLICY
I. INTENT
The Chula vista Rental Rehabilitation Program will seek
to minimize the permanent displacement of residential
rental tenants as a result of program activities. In
cases where permanent displacement of low income
families (less than 80% of median income) is
unavoidable, financial and technical relocation
assistance will be provided to those families. Very
low-income families (less than 50% of median income)
will not be permanently displaced in favor of non very
low-income families. Cost and assistance needs
resulting from temporary displacement of tenants during
property improvement will be the responsibility of the
property owner and will not be paid from program funds.
The Rental Rehabilitation Program will be administered
so as to not cause the displacement of persons because
of their particular race, color, religion, sex, age,
handicap, or natural origin.
II. DEFINITIONS OF DISPLACEMENT
A. Non low-income families moving from a unit
undergoing rehabilitation under the program will
not be considered displacees under the Tenant
Assistance Program:
B. Low-income and very low-income families will be
considered displacees if their displacement is a
direct result of program activity and not an action
for cause.
C. Examples: of program related displacement include,
but are not limited to, unit underutilization, unit
overcrowding, housing cost overpayment (family
paying more than 30% of monthly gross income for
housing expenses), or tenant ineligibility to
section 8. Existing rental subsidy assistance as a
result of unit rent exceeding section 8 Fair Market
Rent. No tenant will be considered displaced if
the tenant has been offered a decent, safe, and
sanitary dwelling unit in the project at an
affordable rent. Qualification as displacees will
be solely determined by the City.
III. A. Displacees will receive either section 8 rental
subsidy assistance, or relocation assistance under
the provisions for permanent displacement of the
U. S. Uniform Relocation Assistance and Property
efl{ -/0
Acquisition Act of 1970, at the option of the
city. provisions of the Act include technical
assistance, moving allowances, and rental
differential payments. Displacees receiving
section 8 certificates will also be eligible for
technical assistance and moving allowances.
B. Technical assistance will include information and
counseling to familiarize Displacees with
opportunities to select appropriate replacement
housing within the full range of available
housing, with individual rights under the federal
Fair Housing Law, and with methods for searching
for suitable replacement housing.
C. No displacees will be discriminated against in the
provision of information, counseling, referrals,
or other relocation services.
