DISCUSSION
On May 6, 2008, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Annual Action
Plan (Action Plan) for three Federal Grant Programs and authorized its submittal to the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (BUD). The Action Plan is
developed annually using significant public input and describes the City's spending
priorities. It serves as the local guide for three of BUD's grant programs [Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), and
Emergency Shelter Grant] which support activities to benefit lower income households.
In September 2008, BUD notified the City of Chula Vista that in addition to the annual
CDBG entitlement, the City is eligible . to receive approximately S2.8M in one-time
CDBG funds through the new Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). The purpose
of the NSP program is to assist cities dealing with the negative effects of abandoned and
foreclosed properties. In order to receive the grant funds, the City must submit to BUD
an amendment to the existing CDBG Annual Action Plan by December 1, 2008
identifying how funds will be obligated within an 18 month period. The NSP funds may
be used to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes/properties, rehabilitate, redevelop,
resell and/or rent these homes to help stabilize neighboring homes and neighborhoods.
The funds may not be used to assist households at risk of foreclosure.
In addition, BUD identified targeted responsibilities for state and local governments
implementing the NSP. A summary of those responsibilities are listed below:
I. Priority emphasis must be placed in targeting the funds to low- and moderate-income
areas, and other areas with the greatest need;
2. All funds must serve households less than 120 Percent of .Area Median Income
(Ai.'vU); and
3. Not less than
individuals or
income).
25 percent of the funds shall be used toward very low
families (incomes that do not exceed 50 percent of area
lllcome
median
Annual Action Plan
The City of Chula Vista's Consolidated 5 Year Plan (adopted May 10, 2005) is a
comprehensive planning document which identifies the City's needs in housing,
homelessness, and community and economic development. The Annual Action Plan
includes the allocation of funds for capital improvements, community enhancement
projects, economic development, public services, affordable housing, first-time
homebuyer programs and administration! planning activities. Any subsequent changes or
revision to the approved Annual Action Plan constitutes a formal amendment to the Plan.
Under the NSP the City must fast-track community input by utilizing web sites and a
streamlined process. In addition to the Housing Advisory Committee meeting on
November 13th, staff held public meetings to encourage input on the program, including
two general public meetings on October 16th and November 6th and an informational item
with the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation on Novemberl3th. A IS-day comment
period to allow for the public to review the proposed amendment and make comments or
3-2

Page 3 of 5
sugaestions began on November 10th and will end on November 24,2008. As of the date
_c _
of this report, there were no comments received. Comments received after the date of
this meeting will be incorporated into the amendment.
Proposed .Amendment
The proposed amendment includes the allocation of $2.8M in NSP funds which are to be
channeled through the Community Development Block Grant Program. In order to
maximize use of the new funds, staff is prop()sing to allocate an additional $452,936 of
prior year HOME funds, totaling $3 million dollars in direct assistance to be used for the
purpose of stabilizing the housing crisis in our community.
As stated above, HUD has identified a series of criteria to identify those areas of "greatest
need" and establishing the most effective mechanisms for "stabilizing" neighborhoods.
Staff used a variety of data sources to document existing and predicted foreclosure data
as illustrated in the proposed amendment and identified areas of "greatest need" within
the City to address HUD's Target Responsibility #1. These target neighborhoods include
portions of southwest Chula Vista, Eastlake, and Otay Ranch communities, as illustrated
in Exhibit F of the attached draft 2008/2009 Annual Action Plan Amendment.
After review of the eligible uses, identification of the target neighborhoods, and public
input, staff has identified those activities that most directly impact a!1d assist declining
neighborhoods due to foreclosures, as follows:
. Target NSP funds for down payment and closing cost assistance for low- and
moderate-income buyers within the target neighborhoods. The City currently
administers a Down Payment and Closing Assistance Program funded through the
HOME program, limited to assisting households earning no more than 80% of the
AIea Median Income (AMI). The new NSP program will allow funds to be used by
families eaming up to 120% of the i\ML addressing HUD's Target Responsibility #2.
By allocating additional funds to an established City program the City will be able to
assist more families and remove up to 35 foreclosed properties from the market.
. Issue a Notice of Funding Availability (NOF A) to assist an organization in the
purchase and rehabilitation of foreclosed properties with the pW.--pose of creating
permanent rental housing opportunities for residents below 50% of the AMI
(residents oJ this income category have limited disposable income to maintain
homeownership). The partners, including but not limited to, Community Housing
Development Organizations (CHDO) and/or the Regional Continuum of Care will
assist the City iIi identifying the best method for leveraging NSP funds with other
special needs or low income housing funding opportunities. By leveraging NSP
funds with HOME funds $IM has been allocated to each income category and
thereby has exceeded the HUD requirement to assist very low income residents, with
35% of the NSP funds designated for 50% Acvl1, addressing HUD's Target
Responsibility #3.

DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found a conflict
exists, in that Councilmembers McCann and Ramirez have property holdings within 500
feet of the boundaries of the target neighborhoods which are the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
HOME Investment Partnership funds are block grant funds available to the City for
affordable housing purposes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. Downpayment assistance loans and related administration are an eligible
HOtvlE use. Funds totaling $452,936 will be allocated to a new non-CIP project number
for this purpose.
By December 151 the City must submit an Action Plan Amendment to identify the
expenditure of NSP Funding in the amount of $2,830,072. NSP funds will be brought
back for appropriation, once the City is notified that the substantial amendment has been
approved by HUD.

First Amendment to the
2008/2009 Annual Action Plan
for Implementation of the
Neighborhood Stabilization Program
A. AREAS OF GREATEST NEED
Introduction
Chula Vista is the second largest municipality in the County of San Diego metropolitan
statistical area (MSA, also known as "San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos"), with an estimated
population of 231,305 residents (based on San Diego Association of Governments). The
City covers approximately 50 square miles along the San Diego Bay and is surrounded by
National City, the City of San Diego, and the unincorporated areas of the County. Two
major north-south freeways, Interstate 5 and Interstate 805 traverse Chula Vista. The area
west of the 1-805 "western Chula Vista" is built up and includes redevelopment areas. The
"eastern area" is comprised of several master-planned communities in various stages of
approval and implementation.
Foreclosure Process California
California is a non-judicial foreclosure state. The foreclosure process begins with a
recorded Notice of Default (NOD), which is a public notification' that the borrower has
fallen behind in the monthly mortgage payments. If the default is not cured, or the loan
renegotiated or replaced, the NOD is followed by a Notice of Trustee's Sales (NOTS/NDS)
after a minimum of three months. The actual Trustee's Sale can not occur less than 20 days
after public notice. The Trustee's Sale is a public auction, at which anyone may place a
bid, including the lender and any junior lien holders. The foreclosure process may be
stopped if the default is cured 5 days in advance of the sale date. If no one bids, and the
foreclosure process was not stopped, title (ownersh i p) of the property reverts to the lender
as REO property (Real Estate Owned property). The typical foreclosure process takes at
least 117 days in California.
In Chula Vista within the past four months (from June 1,2008 through September 30, 2008)
there were a total of 935 properties taken all the way through the foreclosure process.
Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA)
The HER-'" statue indicates that a grantee should give priority emphasis in targeting the
funds that they receive to "those metropolitan areas, metropolitan cities, urban areas, rural
areas, low- and moderate-income areas, and other areas with the greatest need, including
those-
(A) with the greatest percentage of home foreclosures;
(B) with the highest percentage of homes financed by a subprime Mortgage related
loans; and
(C) identified by the State or unit of general local government as I ikely to face a
significant rise in the rate or home foreclosures."
In order to determine the impacted areas, or Target Neighborhoods, a variety of data
sources were reviewed.

Low- and Moderate-Income Eligible Census Tracts
The City of Chula Vista began its needs assessment by identifying the census tract block
groups in the City with income levels at or below 120 percent 01 the Area Median Income
(AMI). For purposes of this Amendment, the low, moderate, and middle-income areas will
be noted as "LMMI". This data was provided by the U.S. Department 01 Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) and this data can be lound on the HUD website at the
lollowing web address: http://www.huduser.or<jpublications/commdevl/nsp target.html.
There are a total of 51 census tract block groups in the City and 32 of them are qualified
LMMI areas (81-120% AMI), as illustrated in Exhibit A. Exhibit A further delineates those
areas that are eligible under annual CDBG allocations at 80% of the area median Income
and below.
HUD High Foreclosure Risk Areas
Foreclosures have occurred through the City of Chula Vista, but are concentrated in certain
areas. HUD has compiled a set of data that include the following:
. Area of unemployment rate;
. Area average housing sales price decline (since the peak of the market);
. High cost loan rate (mortgages with interest-only payment options, stated Income
mortgages, mortgages with high loan to ratios, etc.);
. The predicted 18 month underlying loreclosure rate; and
. Housing units that have been vacant for at least 90 days.
The data is made available at the Census Tract Block Group (CTBG) level lor the entire
country. The data for Chula Vista was evaluated and a lO-step priority ranking lor those
CTBGs most at risk of becoming blighted due to large numbers 01 vacant, loreclosed units
was developed. Using the high cost loan rate and predicted 18-month underlying
foreclosure rates as key indicators for Chula Vista, the standard deviation was calculated for
the high cost loan rates. The standard deviation was then used as the threshold between
rank order numbers. A visual representation of these impacts is shown as Exhibit Band
summarized by census tract in Table 1.
Properties in Foreclosure
In order to establish those areas with the highest number 01 properties in the loreclosure
process, Chicago Title data was used to establish the number and locations of Notice of
Delaults (NOD), Trustee Sales (N DS), and Real-Estate Owned (REO) properties as recorded
rrom the period 01 June 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008. These impacts are illustrated in
Exhibit C and summarized by census tract in Table 1.
Abandoned Residential Property
In August 2007, the City of Chula Vista adopted an Ordinance which requires mortgage
lenders to inspect defaulted properties to confirm that they are occupied. If a property is
lound to be vacant, the program requires that the lender exercise the abandonment clause
within their mortgage contract, register the property with the City and immediately begin to
secure and maintain the property to the neighborhood standard. A visual representation 01
properties that were registered in the Abandoned Residential Property Program as 01
October 15,2008 is shown as Exhibit D and summarized by census tract in Table 1.

Target Neighborhoods - Areas of Greatest Need
Based on the data collected above, those census tracts that had the highest risk and
foreclosures were identified, as illustrated in Exhibit E and Table 2. They included one or
more of the following criteria:
. HU D Risk score of 7 or higher;
. 100 or more recorded properties in foreclosure; and/or
. 50 or more properties registered in Abandoned Residential Properties program.

Since funding is limited, further analysis of the identified census tracts was required in
order to determine which should be included as Target Neighborhoods, in order to impact
specific communities within the City. Census tracts 12500 and 12600 are largely occupied
by the undeveloped Bayfront with little residential property and were therefore excluded.
In addition, census tracts 13205 and 13206 are located along primarily industrial corridors
with little residential property. Tracts 13309 and 13312 were also excluded in order to
more directly target the southwest neighborhood west of Interstate 805 (1-805). Finally
census tracts 13311 and 13419 was excluded due to a high cost of houses in that area and
in order to focus funds more directly at the older section of Eastlake and Otay Ranch where
higher foreclosure rates exist.
The resulting focus areas are as follows, and depicted in Exhibits F - I:
1. Northwest Target Neighborhood - consisting of census tracts 12402 and 12700;
2. Southwest Target Neighborhood - consisting of census tracts 13303, 13306,
13307, and the residential portion of tract 13308; and
3. Eastern Target Neighborhood - consisting of census tracts 13418 and portions of
tracts 13310and 13311.
