Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact in approving the 2023-24 Annual Action Plan (Action Plan), as the City of Redding (City) is allocated HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds directly from United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the form of grants. The match requirement for HOME funds will be met through the use of HOME match credit from eligible HOME -like housing projects funded with non-federal and private funds. There is no match requirement for the CDBG funds. Alternative Action The City Council (Council) may choose not to approve the Action Plan or direct staff to amend the Action Plan. The implications associated with any amendment would be dependent upon what Action Plan modifications are requested. Report to Redding City Council April 27, 2023 Re: 6.1 --Public Hearing to Consider 2023-24 Action Plan Page 2 Background/Analysis The City is an "Entitlement Jurisdiction" and receives direct grant funding allocations from HUD for the HOME Program and the CDBG Program. The primary objective of the HOME Program is to strengthen public-private partnerships and to expand the supply of decent income -qualifying housing. Under the CDBG Program, the primary focus is to provide a source of funds to develop and implement plans, programs, and projects that provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities that primarily benefit low- and moderate -income individuals and families. As part of the administration of the HOME and CDBG Programs, HUD requires the City to submit a five-year Consolidated Plan that covers the 2020-2024 planning period. The Council approved this plan in May 2020. Each year, the goals of the Consolidated Plan are carried out via an annual action plan which provides a concise summary of the projects and financial resources used each fiscal year to meet the goals identified in the Consolidated Plan. HUD requires that a draft Action Plan be available for public comment for a minimum period of 30 days prior to adoption. The public comment period opened April 1, 2023, and concludes with the public hearing on May 2, 2023. All comments received through the public hearing will be incorporated into the final version of the Action Plan. To date, no comments have been received. On February 27, 2023, HUD announced that for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24, the City will be allocated HOME funds in the amount of $431,094 and CDBG Program funds in the amount of $726,017. Last fiscal year's allocations for HOME and CDBG were $477,903 and $747,542 respectively. Both HOME and CDBG Programs receive program income generated from loan repayments to provide additional revenue. It is anticipated that the HOME program will receive $245,200 and the CDBG program will receive $140,000 over the next fiscal year. All payments received from Home and CDBG Program loans are used to further support income -qualifying housing activities that include homeowner and rental rehabilitation activities. Each year, in order to draft the Action Plan, the Housing Division solicits applications for CDBG Public Service and Public Facilities and Improvement projects through a Notice of Funding Availability. Public service activities compete for an allocation of funds that typically equates to 15 percent of the annual CDBG allocation. Overall, a total of nine Public Service, four Public Improvement, and two Economic Development applications were received. Public Service applications were reviewed and ranked by the Council -appointed Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC). As part of this process, each of the applicants were provided the opportunity to make presentations and answer questions before CDAC. The committee analyzed the applications and determined funding recommendations on March 22, 2023. The CDAC's funding recommendations are detailed in Attachment A. The Public Facilities and Improvements/Economic Development categories includes unused prior year CDBG funds of $295,949. These category applications are analyzed by staff and presented to the City Manager for funding recommendations. Consistent with prior years, in addition to the CDAC and City Manager's Office recommendations, $10,000 of CDBG general administration funds are allocated to the Nor Cal Continuum of Care for administration and coordination activities; $3,000 for the annual Fair Housing Workshop and $50,000 for the update to the General Plan. Report to Redding City Council April 27, 2023 Re: 6.1 --Public Hearina to Consider 2023-24 Action Plan Paae 3 The proposed Fiscal Year 2023 HOME and CDBG allocations and projects detailed in Attachment A have been incorporated into the draft Action Plan. As a part of the Action Plan process, the Council is required to conduct a public hearing regarding the proposed use of funds. Following the close of the hearing, the Council may consider the recommendations from CDAC, the City Manager, and all testimony received during the hearing to snake a final decision. Environmental Review Approving the Action Plan is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and no further action is required. However, each project or program within the Action Plan is analyzed individually for CEQA and/or NEPA compliance. Council Priority/City Manager Goals • Government of the 21st Century — "Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today's residents and workforce.

Summary Consistent with the goals of the CDBG and HOME programs, the City strives to address a broad scope of community needs in a manner that maximizes results with limited funding by focusing its efforts on activities that serve the low- and moderate -income (ILMI) population. The City focuses on providing increased access to housing through its development partnerships that create affordable housing opportunities. In addition, CDBG funds are utilized to support economic development activities, a variety of community service programs through local nonprofits that provide support to youth, homeless services, or affordable housing for lower-income households. The City is dedicated to serving its special needs citizens through its focus on facility improvements that serve disabled populations, domestic violence victims, and displaced families, while also maintaining its collaborative efforts toward ending homelessness. Although many programs administered by the City's Housing and Community Development (HCD) Division are accomplished in collaboration with other local agencies and private organizations, the bulk of its programs and activities are noxi -duplicative. The affordable housing programs, as well as infrastructure improvement activities and public service activities, are among the most relied upon resource to support the quality of life for the LMI population in the community.

Introduction Other governmental agencies, the general public, private entities, and local nonprofits organizations were consulted to solicit their input in the preparation of the ConPlan. Input from these agencies was incorporated into the Annual AP, which supports the goals identified within the ConPlan. 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(1)) The City's Housing Division works closely with social service agencies and other local organizations that represent children, elderly persons, homeless persons (including Veterans), persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and the disabled. Strategic planning, coordination, and collaboration with these players are achieved through various consultation opportunities, such as the monthly NorCal CoC meetings. The City actively participates in local collaboratives and initiatives that specifically address issues related to housing and homelessness, and is a member of the NorCal CoC Advisory Board. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically als and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. NorCal Continuum of Care (NorCal CoC) is a consortium of individuals and organizations with the common purpose of planning a housing and services system for people who are homeless. NorCal CoC serves as a convening entity tasked with the critical mission of ending homelessness in the City of Redding as the largest city within Shasta County. NorCal CoC also represents the counties of Lassen, Plumas, Sierra, Siskiyou, Del Norte and Modoc Counties. The NorCal CoC is responsible for managing grant funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for homelessness, and uniquely positioned to identify system needs and take steps to address them with the collaboration and partnership of community stakeholders. As indicated in the ConPlan, the NorCal CoC accomplishes a host of activities and programs vital to the community, including the following: • Shasta County Housing Department, as Lead Agency for the NorCal CoC, acts as the primary liaison between the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the State of California Housing and Community Development, the City of Redding and other potential funders for homeless programs and completes the following tasks: • Reports annual and federal NorCal CoC data including Point in Time and Housing Inventory Count data reported on the HUD Data Exchange; Annual AP 2023-2024 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 9 • Annually registers the NorCal CoC, completes the NorCal CoC Program Application, reviews the annual HUD Grant Inventory Worksheet, and applies for NorCal CoC Planning Grant Funds through HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development; • Provides technical assistance and referral information to potential applicants seeking funding through the HUD NorCal CoC Homeless Assistance Program Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA); • Creates and administers an equitable rating and ranking process for project applicants as federally required by the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act; • Creates and implements local strategies to direct NorCal CoC resources to reach the four key goals relative to "Opening Doors": a Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness (written in 2010 and amended in 2015). These goals are to end chronic homelessness, prevent and end homelessness among Veterans, families and youth and set a path to end all types of homelessness. • Maintains resource sharing and website at www.norcalcoc.org that offers a definitive host of services, resources and opportunities for the homeless; • Participation and training of data entry into the HMIS system; • The NorCal CoC Advisory Board completes the following tasks for the NorCal CoC: • plans, coordinates and carries out an annual HUD required Housing Inventory Count (HIC) of nonprofit agency available beds and units dedicated to serve persons who are homeless. These beds are categorized by the federally defined program types: Emergency Shelter; Transitional Housing; Rapid Re -housing; Safe Haven; and Permanent Supportive Housing; • Plans, coordinates and carries out an annual HUD required Point in Time Count (PIT) of persons across the continuum that meet the HUD definition of literally homeless; Representatives from the City's nd monthly NorCal CoC Advisory Board meetings. The meetings are recognized as Brown Act meetings. The NorCal CoC Governance Charter, Board Membership Policy, Membership Applications and Agendas/minutes are readily available to the public. During the monthly meetings, topics regarding local homeless issues and resources are discussed as well as collaborative opportunities between nonprofit agencies and general NorCal Advisory Board business. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The federal government allocates ESG to the State of California. The State of California, in an effort to align this funding with the HEARTH Act priorities, distributes the funding through local Continuums of Care. Since no jurisdiction within our CoC receives entitlement ESG funds from the federal government, our CoC participates in the Balance of State Allocation (BOS) process. Through the BOS Allocation process, each CoC receives noncompetitive funds. The City of Redding applied for a competitive Emergency Solutions Grant for $200,000. Annual AP 2023-2024 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) M. The City will continue to engage nonprofits that are effective in placing chronically homeless persons in appropriate and sustainable housing, and assist them in building capacity; as well as finding options for them to generate match funds to compete for ESG funds. City staff collaborates with the County and community service providers to develop and implement a Housing Strategic Plan. Some of the goals of the Strategic Plan are to increase the permanent supportive housing and affordable housing units available, to build the capacity of community leadership around homelessness and to implement a coordinated entry process, amongst other very important goals. Performance standards and outcomes will be monitored and tracked by CoC personnel. 2.

Discussion Annual AP 2023-2024 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) M AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i) Introduction As described in Sections PR -10 and SP -60 of the ConPlan, annual goals are consistent with strategic plan goals and the ongoing efforts of the NorCal CoC, of which the City is an active participant. 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 Consistent with the efforts described in SP -60 of the ConPlan, the City collaborates with community partners throughout the program year through the NorCal CoC. This includes connections with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Shasta County Health and Human Services, the Redding Police Department, local shelter staff, and private nonprofits. The City's Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT) is a collaboration of a law enforcement officer and a mentalhealth clinician to provide street outreach services by connecting those in crisis with mental health and housing services. In addition, the CIRT provides outreach to homeless encampments to connect people to immediate interim housing. The CIRT obtains HMIS level data for entry into the local HMIS,, CIRT program and coordinated entry data systems. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons As stated previously, the GNRM provides emergency shelter services to Redding's homeless population. The GNRM men's shelter provides 202 beds for homeless men and the Housing of Hope provides 105 beds for the community homeless women and children. Guests receive three meals per day, toiletries, daily showers as well as laundry services and miscellaneous amenities. Guests may stay up to 30 days unless enrolled in one of'GNRM programs. After 30 days not receiving shelter services, homeless individuals may return for another 30 day stay. Additionally, in June 2021, the Redding City Council adopted a resolution that declared a shelter crisis and subsequently approved Ordinances 2637 and 2638 and the associated Administrative Guidelines which collectively set forth the requirements and process for the City to review and authorize, through a permit approved by the Council, the establishment and operation of Emergency Housing Shelters (EHS). An EHS provides short-term, emergency, and temporary housing to no more than 30 individuals as defined in Appendix O of the California Building Code. Each EHS must adhere to the Administrative Guidelines and develop and post Good Neighbor Policies addressing the EHS premises and the immediate surrounding neighborhood. These policies must clearly show provisions for how the EHS actively discourages and addresses excessive noise or loitering from EHS participants and others who may be near the site. Where applicable, the EHS must demonstrate coordination with other service providers and community partners to address the above issues and the impacts of each. To comply with these requirements, each ENS must submit an operations plan that conforms to the Administrative Annual AP 2023-2024 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) M. Guidelines. Three micro -shelter sites to serve 18 people are in development for the 2023-24 year. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons As indicated in the five-year strategic goals described in SP -60, emergency shelters within our jurisdiction have an active role with the NorCal CoC. Shelter directors participate regularly in community dialogue about emergency shelter and housing needs. Shelter directors work closely with the City of Redding and the Nor Cal CoC to regularly revisit needs for this population. HUD CoC funds, leveraged with City of Redding resources, annually support local transitional housing projects for homeless families with children. Annual goals will continue to align with strategic plan goals, as community partners support the stabilization and transition of these families with in-kind contributions and assistance with on-site life -skill classes. 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 As indicated in SP -60 of the ConPlan, chronically homeless individuals with a severe and persistent mental illness have 34 dedicated scattered site units that are subsidized by CoC Supportive Housing Project (SHP) funds. Community collaboration facilitates entry into the permanent housing ,project through an outreach and screening process lead by our local Federally Qualified Health Center. Homeless 'families with children are offered transitional housing opportunity with permanent housing placement services. This HUD CoC funded project works together with the City of Redding to leverage resources needed to expand or individualize permanent housing placement support. The GNRM offers emergency shelter along with supportive services including housing transition plans for the chronically homeless. During the 2023-24 Program Year, CDBG funds will assist with funding for storage/emergency cabins for use by the homeless population. As indicated above, Pathways to Housing, rehabilitated their facility purchased from the RHA and offers transitional, supportive housing services to homeless, medically fragile individuals transitioning out of local medical facilities. 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. Annual AP 49 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 2023-2024 Consistent with the strategic plan goals described in SP -60 of the ConPlan, annual plan goals contribute to the support of homeless prevention. Individuals being discharged from a publicly funded institution are recognized as having a high risk of homelessness. The CoC transitional housing project for homeless families with children practices strategic plan goals for housing placement and support prior to discharge. Due to Assembly Bill 109, offenders released from prison to finish their sentence in alternative custody programs were identified as extremely high risk of becoming or remaining homeless. The Shasta County Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) offers a plan for permanent housing and support. CCP efforts address employment, education, health, social services and housing. With a current housing retention rate over 90%, strategic plan goals contribute greatly to the success of this population post discharge. Discussion Annual AP O OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 2023-2024 AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j) Introduction: As indicated earlier, the information, goals, policies, and programs contained in the ConPlan and AP are consistent with those contained within the City's Housing Element and other elements of the General Plan. All housing development activities undertaken within the City are subject to review for consistency with the City's General Plan and its adopted development policies. In cases of conflict between the ConPlan and the General Plan, the policies of the General Plan will prevail. 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 Consistent with the information provided in Section SP development of adequate housing is through the provi residential units. The following tools are included in th incentives to development, particularly to support affor • Density Increase: Residential density ma Residential Multifamily Districts. This eli the ordinance, which can • Density Bonus Ordinance' as possible in approving density, nor does it limi standards that can be a than would have been p density bonus ordinance. • The zoning code includf e e the ConPlan, an important tool to ensure of a range of incentives to develop needed ninR ordinance and subdivision ordinance as ousing projects: ble senior housing projects in the inates the need to use the Density Bonus provision of Ipproval process. nce was amended in 2008 to provide as much flexibility g'projects. This ordinance does not establish a cap on the number of concessions, incentives, or waivers of development :ed. This approach will facilitate development of more affordable units ssible under the basic limitations of state law or the City's previous basic standards for the development of small -lot subdivisions. In addition to allowing reduced lot sizes, it also provides for reduction in building setbacks, lot coverage, and covered parking requirements. The intent of the provision is to encourage infill development through the construction of a single-family product at higher densities, which may produce affordable housing units. • Assembly Bill AB 2162 requires that supportive housing be "a use by right" in zoning districts where multiple family and mixed uses are permitted, including nonresidential zoning districts permitting multiple family uses if requirements specified in the implementing regulations are met. Discussion: The City Housing Department will continue to work with the City's Planning Department as well as its community partners to identify and continue steps towards ameliorating barriers to affordable housing, Annual AP 2023-2024 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 51 as appropriate. The State of California is also taking active steps toward removing barriers to housing production, including the relaxing of regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units in communities. I�Titigl OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 2023-2024 52 AP -85 Other Actions — 91.220(k) Introduction: Many of the housing problems for low-income households, the elderly, and other special needs populations are primarily related to income and substandard units. Housing priorities and strategies reflect those conditions. Housing objectives focus on the need to increase the supply of affordable units, as well as rehabilitate the existing stock. Community development objectives primarily address increasing the accessibility of public facilities, improving infrastructure, providing economic development opportunities, and providing social services and education. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs As funding is available, the City will continue to address the priority needs identified in the 2020-24 ConPlan. As discussed in Section AP -35, the need for affordable housing as well as housing and services for special needs and high-risk populations, continue to be an underserved need in the community. As such, the City will continue to address these needs through its housing programs for the 2023-24 Program Year. In particular, public service activities recommended for this program year include: transitional housing and shelter services, youth and family mentoring and support services; and housing rental loan fund services. Other projects selected that will address underserved needs at a broader level include: microenterprise development activities; ADA -compliant facility improvements (including curb ramps and sidewalk capital improvement project); code enforcement activities; and infrastructure improvements. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing As discussed in further detail in Section AP -55, the City plans to undertake a variety of projects and activities to foster and maintain its stock of affordable housing during the 2023-24 Program Year as follows: • In accordance with rental and ownership housing rehabilitation goals established in the ConPlan, the City intends to rehabilitate a number of units annually. • The City also intends to partner with local developers to meet its affordable housing new construction goals for rental and ownership units established in the ConPlan. • Utilizing available funding resources, it is projected that a minimum of five homebuyer assistance loans will be provided to C_MI households. • The City also intends to seek additional funding opportunities that support local affordable housing activities by applying for state -administered programs such as the CalHOME program, Encampment Resolution program, and Homekey. • Also, the City, Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA), the McConnell Foundation, and K2 have partnered in the development of Block 7 Affordable Housing Project, a four-story- mixed use 53 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 2023-2024 development that includes 78 residential housing units - 77 restricted to income -qualifying households and one manager's unit. • Additional projects that are anticipated for the 2023-24 Program Year include partnerships with the local CHDO and other local nonprofit organizations to expand the availability of rental units. • Finally, it is also anticipated that at least 1,786 vouchers per month will be available through the HCV Rental Assistance program. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards All units under contract with the RHA are inspected at lease -up and a biennial basis. The inspectors are trained to identify potential lead-based paint hazards. Any such hazards, when identified, must be alleviated by the landlord prior to lease -up. The RHA is in full compliance with regulations detailing the timetable for implementation of lead-based paint guidelines for public housing authorities. Lead-based assessment and abatement of all lead-based paint hazards will continue to be a requirement on all CDBG and HOME -funded housing projects during the 2023-24 Program Year. Furthermore, CDBG Revolving Loan Funds will be allocated specifically for the testing and remediation of lead-based paint hazards on applicable projects. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families Programs and activities described within this document fall within a number of categories, some having only a minor impact on moving a family out of poverty. These essential needs activities will not increase earning power of a family in poverty and are not likely to result in financial betterment. They are critical, however, to meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, and health care, generally on an emergency basis. In addition to activities that address basic needs, there are a number of activities and programs proposed to be funded that do have the potential to bring positive change to a family in poverty. These are the programs that address barriers to independence, including employment, along with housing, such as the Family Self -Sufficiency Program and the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Programs; the homeless transitional programs, and the microenterprise assistance programs. The City will aggressively pursue increasing the availability of these and similarly designed programs as funding arises. A third type of activity proposed to be funded consists of activities that are preventative in nature. These activities are focused on the at -risk youth of our community and strive to break the generational effect that poverty imposes. Through counseling and mentoring activities, youth are given an opportunity to envision a different, more positive, future for themselves. The City, through its economic development efforts, strives to promote activities that will ultimately have major impacts on the community, thus reducing poverty. The City will continue to work with the public and private sectors seeking mutual opportunities that will provide jobs to greatly improve employment opportunities for those in need in the Redding area. During the 2023-24 Program Year, Annual AP OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 2023-2024 54 $50,000 funding will be allocated to microenterprise support and retention activities. City schools continue to lead the fight to educate children starting at the preschool level on the negative effects of drug use. Drug and alcohol abuse, and its companion, crime, have pulled far too many families into poverty. As stated above, a portion of 2023-24 CDBG funding is proposed to assist three local agencies working with at -risk youth and families. The goal of these activities is to end the familial cycle of poverty, abuse, and crime before it reaches another generation. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The success of the strategy outlined in the ConPlan will be the result of the continued dedicated efforts of the many different individuals and groups in the Redding community as identified in the 2020-24 The City, as well as other communities across the nation, faces increasingly diverse needs in the community with limited resources to implement the goals and objectives identified in the ConPlan. However, the City remains dedicated to maximizing those resources and anticipates that during the coming year new affordable housing opportunities will become a reality through the combined efforts of both nonprofit and for-profit developers, the Federal, State, and local government, the private lending community, and nonprofit service organizations. During the 2023-24 Program Year, the City will services for the conservation of the community's continue to provide rental assistance to the vei groups in conjunction with supportive housing p nue to be the primary provider of rehabilitation ing housing stock, including mobile homes. It will v -income population and to a variety of special ims. The City has an established service delivery system for housing -related programs,operating both the RHA and a multifaceted affordable housing program that includes rehabilitation of the existing housing stock, development of new affordable housing units, and assistance to "income -eligible homebuyers. The City has applied for State Encampment Resolution Funding to address chronic homelessness. Those funds would assist in part with a Day Resource Center to coordinate services and provide a consistent supportive location for people who are homeless to connect to services. City staff is experienced with securing State and Federal funding for housing and has a strong working relationship with the local lending and real estate communities. Staff is committed to seeking out and capturing any and all financial resources that become available in order to meet community needs. The local business entities that will play a role in the successful implementation of the City's housing strategy include the development community, the real estate community, and the area's mortgage lenders. The City will continue its efforts to encourage the local development of affordable units. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City will maintain its collaborations with local housing and supportive service providers. The City has more than 45 years of experience providing housing and public services to the City's citizens. With its OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 2023-2024 strong relationships in the community, the City will be able to maximize the use of its available funding Annual AP OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 2023-2024 55 resources to further its goals of increasing and enhancing affordable housing opportunities, providing effective social and supportive services to those in need, and enhancing the quality of life for its citizens. As stated earlier, during 2023-24 Program Year, the City will continue to be an active participant agency on the NorCal CoC, which maintains active collaborative opportunities with community stakeholders. This includes representatives from public and private agencies such as the Employment Development Department, Shasta County Housing and Community Action Agency, U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs, Shasta County Health and Human Services, Legal Services of Northern California, Independent Living Services of Northern California, Veteran's Resource Centers, One SAFE Place, and Good News Rescue Mission.

A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows: The City invests its HOME funds as outlined in 92.205(b). 2. 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: The City shall invest all recaptured funds within three years of receipt pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 33413. This shall ensure an equal number of units, as removed from the program, are made available to persons of the same income levels. Recapture procedures shall comply with the HOME program regulations detailed at 24 CFR 92.254(a)(5)(ii). Although the City presently does not use HOME funds for the first-time Homebuyer Program, the affordability period is based on the amount of HOME investment (i.e. HP loan) to the Borrower. During the affordability period, the City shall ensure that all or a portion of the HOME investment is recaptured if the home does not continue to be the Borrower's principal residence. The affordability periods are as follows: Amount per unit Minimum period of Affordability in years Under $15,000 $15,000 to Over $40,000 15 The City has adopted the Recapture option for recoupment of the HOME investment. The entire amount of the HOME investment shall be recaptured from the Borrower during the affordability period pursuant to 24 CFR 92.254(a) (5)(ii). In cases of short sales or foreclosures that result in no net proceeds, or net proceeds are insufficient to repay the entire HOME investment, the City shall recapture only the net proceeds that are available, if any. Net proceeds are the sales price minus superior loan repayment (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs. 3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows: As set forth in the City's HOME Homebuyer Agreement, and in accordance with24 CFR 92.254(a), in Annual AP 2023-2024 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) the event the Property should no longer be the principal residence of Borrower before the conclusion of the affordability period, the City shall recapture all or a portion of the HOME funds. This recapture requirement is triggered by a sale (voluntary or involuntary) of the Property. The recaptured amount will not exceed the net proceeds, if any. The net proceeds are the sales price minus the superior loan repayment (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs. The City may recapture the entire amount of the HOME funds and any closing costs or if the net proceeds are not sufficient to recapture the full HOME investment the City may share the net proceeds with the Borrower. 4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows: As part of its HOME Rental Rehabilitation Loan Policy, the City has adopted the following guidelines for refinancing existing debt secured by rental housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME funds: 1. Refinancing existing debt will be considered for multi -family projects utilizing HOME funds to rehabilitate the units if refinancing is determined to be necessary to permit or continue affordability under §92.252. Regardless of the amount of HOME funds invested, the minimum affordability period shall be 15 years. The following conditions must be met for the City to consider refinancing existing debt: a.) Rehabilitation of the units must be the primary eligible activity demonstrated by the requirement that a minimum of sixty (60%) percent of the Home resources provided to the project shall be for direct rehabilitation costs; b.) City underwriting for the proposed HOME refinancing shall include a review of management practices demonstrating that disinvestment in the property has not occurred, that the long-term needs of the project can be met and that the feasibility; of serving the targeted population over an extended affordability period can be shown; c.) As part of the request for funds, the applicant must state whether the refinancing is necessary to maintain current affordable units, create additional affordable units, or both; and d.) The proposed refinancing shall not refinance an existing multi -family loan made or insured by any Federal program, including CDBG. 2. Investment of CDBG or HOME funds for refinancing purposes shall be available city-wide with priority given to neighborhoods designated for revitalization. Funds provided by the HOME program are an essential part of the City's efforts to preserve and enhance the availability of affordable housing in the Redding community. Annual AP 2023-2024 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) The bulk of the City's HOME funds are earmarked for large project multi -family developments. The purpose of this strategy is to leverage HOME funding to the greatest extent possible for the development of the highest possible number of affordable housing units. For those persons that occupy these multi- family developments, access to these affordable units is typically based on first-come, first-served basis. Turn over for these units, to the greatest extent possible are chosen from the same income categories and beneficiaries does not include preferences to employees of the City of Redding employees or students. Staff ensures that developers comply with fair housing, nondiscrimination, equal opportunity and marketing duties on an annually basis by checking: • Federal fair housing and equal opportunity laws that prohibit discrimination against any person (prospective tenant, homebuyer, employment applicants, employees and businesses) based on race, color, religion, age, familial status, disability, national origin, sex, or any other arbitrary basis. • Section 104(b) (2) of the Fair Housing Act requires that each HOME funding recipient certify that it is affirmatively furthering fair housing. Any recipient of federal housing funds must be proactive in encouraging participation in any housing projects or programs funded through federal sources. • HOME Contractors must prominently display a Fair Housing poster at rental offices and project sites from the beginning of construction through occupancy, or in front of existing multifamily buildings or single-family houses (24 CFR 110.10). • The Fair Housing poster shall be 11 inches by 14 inches (24 CFR 110.25). A facsimile may be used if the poster and lettering are equivalent in size and legibility to the poster available from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (24 CFR 110.20). • All advertising of residential real estate for sale, rent, or financing should contain an equal housing opportunity logotype, statement, or slogan as a means of educating the home -seeking public that the property is available to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. • Each housing program or project should have a marketing file with documentation of outreach efforts showing that all local 'persons have the opportunity to participate in the HOME funded activity. Each project owner must adopt affirmative marketing procedures and requirements for rental and homebuyer projects containing five or more HOME -assisted housing units (24 CFR 92.351). Affirmative marketing steps consist of actions to provide information and otherwise attract eligible persons in the housing market area to the available housing, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status or disability.
