Housing and Community Development Resources
Santa Monica has access to a variety of federal, state, and local resources to achieve its housing
and community development priorities. Specific funding resources will be utilized based on the
opportunities and constraints of each particular project or program. Table 1 identifies the potential
sources of funding available to carry out housing and community development activities in Santa
Monica.
The City currently receives entitlement grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) through the HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME) and the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs, and administers a variety of HUD-assisted programs
including Section 8 Vouchers, Family Self-Sufficiency, and Shelter Plus Care programs. In
addition, the City provides funding to housing and community development activities through its own
local resources. Table 2 identifies the CDBG and HOME funds available to Santa Monica for FY
2004-05.
The City will continue to support a wide range of housing and community development activities in
FY 2004-05. To the extent possible, the City will seek to leverage funding from other public and
private entities to strengthen programs and activities established in the Five-Year Strategic Plan
and this Action Plan. Local funding sources, including redevelopment set-aside, housing trust funds
and private conventional loans will be used as the local match for the City's HOME program funds.

Geographic Distribution
Based on 2000 Census data, three census tracts (7018.01, 7018.02 and 7019.00) had significant
concentrations of minority population. These census tracts encompass the area commonly known
as the Pico Neighborhood. An ethnic concentration is defined as any census tract with 30% or
more non-White residents. In tracts 7018.01 and 7018.02, "minorities" were in fact the majority,
with over 50% of the tract population comprised of non-White persons. According to the 2000
Census, over 51 % of the population in census tracts 7018.01, 7018.02 and 7019.00 have incomes
at or below 80% of Median Family Income (MFI) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach Metropolitan
Statistical Area. These tracts are considered areas of low and moderate-income concentration.
A number of the projects proposed for FY 2004-05 benefit low and moderate income persons and
are located in the Pico Neighborhood, an area of minority concentration. For specific project
descriptions, refer to the Listing of Proposed Projects.
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction
An estimated 17,500 housing units occupied by low and moderate income households in Santa
Monica may contain lead-based paint. To reduce lead-based paint hazards, the City takes the
following actions:
Monitor the lead-poisoning data maintained by the Los Angeles County Department of
Health Services.
Revise rehabilitation guidelines to incorporate lead-based paint hazard reduction
procedures including raising the per-unit subsidy limits for projects which include
abatement.
Develop and distribute lead-based paint reduction and abatement information to all
landlords, managers, tenants, or owner-occupants of rehabilitation properties, as well as
to community groups.
Work cooperatively with its nonprofit housing providers and community health
organizations to provide educational material and identify potential sources of lead-
poisoning in City-assisted affordable housing projects.
Address lead-based paint hazards in Section 8 assisted units with children six years and
under by providing grants to property owners for lead-based paint hazard reduction
and/or abatement.
Address blight in individual buildings by eliminating specific conditions that present health
and safety hazards to the public.
Since FY 1997-98, as part of the Low Income Residential Repair Program, the City has provided
lead-based paint testing and remediation to existing single- and multi-family units, targeting low and
moderate-income households. This program will continue through FY 2004-05.

Anti-Poverty Strategy
On a macro scale, California attempts to fight poverty with the CaIWORKS program, which is
designed to move welfare recipients from dependency to self sufficiency through employment, and
to divert potential recipients from dependency. CaIWORKS provides monthly financial assistance
and usually food stamps to families with children. Parents receiving CaIWORKS assistance are
required to work or participate in job-related training or education. Job-related education and
training are provided through the county, private industry and educational institutions.
The City will continue to implement the anti-poverty strategy outlined in the Five-Year Consolidated
Plan. This includes continued prioritization of housing and homeless programs identified in the
Consolidated Plan per HUD requirements as well as other programs that address the following:
Pre-vocational and job readiness skills training including assessment and assistance with
applications, resumes, job-seeking skills, and work performance standards;
Job development and placement for temporary and permanent employment opportunities
with businesses, industry and government;
Apprenticeships and training linkages with skills centers and other vocational resources;
Educational enrichment and parent supports to increase literacy rates and school
achievement, increase parent involvement, and lower the school drop-out rate;
Youth skill-building and development to design innovative and creative alternatives to
criminal involvement, youth violence, isolation, and loss of opportunities for growth;
Legal services to include brief service and full representation in landlord/tenant matters,
public benefits assistance, immigration, discrimination, consumer affairs, and other
critical legal aid;
Domestic violence intervention and prevention that offers counsel and advice, immediate
assistance in obtaining restraining, stay-away and other protective orders, and critical
support services to victims of domestic violence;
Independent living skills and assistance, and peer counseling to ensure full self-
sufficiency and independence among elderly and disabled individuals;
Child care subsidies and assistance to working parents; and
Free health care and supportive service assistance to extremely low, very low, and low-
income Santa Monica residents including vital assistance to those with HIV/AIDS.

Institutional Structure and Intergovernmental Cooperation
Public agencies, for-profit and non-profit organizations all play a part in the provision of affordable
housing and community services.
Social service delivery and housing production and rehabilitation in Santa Monica by non-profit
agencies is coordinated through the City's annual funding process. The City Council reviews
proposed projects and programs and funds those that meet the City's goals. In addition, there is
the Westside Shelter and Hunger Coalition (WSHC) with representatives from agencies involved
with emergency shelter, affordable housing, and supportive services on the west side of Los
Angeles. WSHC meets regularly to coordinate efforts, including lobbying the county, state, and
federal government. The City also participates in the Job Developer Network to promote the active
creation of jobs targeting low-income youth and adults.
The City of Santa Monica has established a number of commissions staffed by interested citizens to
monitor the needs of specific groups and advise the City Council on the best way to address these
needs. They are the Housing Commission, Social Services Commission, Disabilities Commission,
Planning Commission, Commission on OlderAmericans and Commission on the Status of Women.
The City Council also appoints citizen task forces to address special issues, such as the 1991 Task
Force on Homelessness and 2000 Disability Task Force. The Task Force on Homelessness
reviewed available information on the causes of homelessness and the needs of the homeless
population of Santa Monica, and formulated comprehensive recommendations on a coordinated
and cost-effective approach to addressing the problems associated with homelessness. The
Disability Task Force met to formulate recommendations for meeting the needs of persons with
disabilities in Santa Monica, including policy changes targeting the lack of affordable, accessible
housing.
The City works closely with other private and public entities that constitute a comprehensive
network of resources. These include key governmental and intergovernmental offices, coalitions
and groups, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Los Angeles County
Department of Health, Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, Los Angeles County
Department of Public Social Services, Los Angeles County Department of Child and Family
Services, Los Angeles County Housing Authority, Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse, Santa
Monica-Malibu Unified School District, State Department of Housing and Community Development,
State Employment Development Department, United Way, and Westside Summit Cities Summit.
The City also works closely with over 35 local non-profit organizations to ensure the adequate
provision of housing and community services in Santa Monica.
Monitoring
The City currently uses various administrative mechanisms to track and monitor progress of HUD
funded projects and activities that are under its control and jurisdiction. The goal is to ensure that
Consolidated Plan-related programs and activities are carried out in a timely manner in accordance
with federal regulations and other statutory or regulatory requirements. The primary monitoring
goals of the City are to provide technical assistance, identify deficiencies and promote corrections in
order to improve, reinforce, or augment the Consolidated Plan performance.
City of Santa Monica
Action Plan for FY 2004-05 Page 20
D U N S#: 074152596
To ensure the accomplishments of the goals and objectives, the City is involved with administration
and coordination of City-funded programs and related activities. An interdepartmental CDBG team,
which consists of Project Managers and relevant City staff, meet monthly to monitor the progress of
CDBG-funded projects. City staff in a number of departments and divisions including the Housing
and Redevelopment Division, the Human Services Division, the Engineering Division, and other key
offices are available to provide technical assistance as needed to subrecipients.
All Requests for Proposal (RFPs) and contracts are reviewed carefully to ensure compliance with
HUD and local requirements for program delivery, financial management, procurement, personnel
matters, and other such requirements. Subrecipient contracts require verification of eligibility and
substantiation of all pertinent information and activities and include language requiring periodic and
annual monitoring of activities of financial and programmatic compliance.
Homelessness
The Action Plan seeks to partially support a comprehensive continuum of care for homeless
services through federal assistance for an emergency homeless shelter. Federal funding will be
supplemented by other funds to ensure the delivery of a well-coordinated system of care as
specified in the Five-year Strategic Plan. This includes support for: 1) outreach, intake and
assessment, 2) emergency shelter, 3) transitional housing, 4) permanent and supportive housing,
and 5) case management and supportive services including employment. In conjunction with
county and federal efforts to end chronic homelessness, the City is researching current best
practices for addressing the needs of chronically homeless persons and developing a pilot project
that will specifically target chronically homeless persons and help them secure housing, benefits
and services.
Economic Development
The City will not use CDBG funds for economic development activities during this program year and
will instead use other funding sources to address economic development needs. The City has
sought to create jobs through the establishment of development agreements executed prior to
major commercial developments that give local preference for hiring Santa Monica residents. In
addition to City-supported employment programs, City staff works closely with the Job Developer
Network, a community group of employment specialists, to develop policies and programs that
promote job placement and job creation targeting low-income youth and adults.
Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs
The recession, repercussions from the tragic events of September 11, and certain federal, state and
county funding cutbacks, including changes to the welfare system, have impacted the ability to
address the social service and housing needs in Santa Monica. The City will continue to assess the
impact of the economic downturn and any resulting increased demand for affordable housing,
employment, childcare and other supportive services. The City continues to work in collaboration
with surrounding jurisdiction nonprofit organizations, and other community groups to coordinate and
monitor the delivery of social services. This entails working with groups including, but not limited to,
City of Santa Monica
Action Plan for FY 2004-05 Page 21
D U N S#: 074152596
the Westside Shelter and Hunger Coalition, the Childcare Task Force, the Domestic Violence
Network, and others to identify and meet critical gaps in services. Fund leveraging, resource
development and coordination of services are critical activities that will be undertaken to address
significant budgetary and programmatic constraints.
Affordable Housing
The City continues to fund Community Corporation of Santa Monica (CCSM) to help CCSM
maintain approximately 1,200 affordable housing units. In addition, the City works in partnership
with CCSM and other non-profits to develop new affordable housing units in Santa Monica. The
City administers five affordable housing trustfunds, implements an Inclusionary Housing and Rent
Control Ordinance, and administers a Section 8 housing assistance program to preserve affordable
housing opportunities throughout the City.
Removal of Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City continues to monitor, analyze and address market conditions and governmental factors
that may act as barriers to affordable housing.
Market factors that tend to restrict affordable housing production are: high land costs, high
construction costs and inadequate financing. The City has little influence on land costs or
construction costs. The City does, however, have an active program in place to make below market
financing available for affordable housing projects.
Governmental restrictions can also constrain the production and preservation of affordable housing.
The City continues to monitor, analyze and address, as necessary, governmental regulations, land
use controls and residential development standards which affect the production and preservation of
affordable housing.
In December 2001, the City adopted the revised Draft 2000-2005 Housing Element, which is a
technical update to the recently adopted and the State Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) certified 1998-2003 Housing Element. The 2000-2005 Housing Element
update, which represents a continuity of goals, policies, and programs established in the 1998-2003
Housing Element and the 2000-2005 Consolidated Plan, sets forth the City's five-year strategies to
preserve and enhance the community's character, expand housing opportunities for all economic
segments, and provide guidance for local government decision-making in all matters related to
housing.
Public Housing Resident Initiatives
The Los Angeles County Housing Authority (LACHA) owns and operates two public housing
projects in Santa Monica. These projects were built by Los Angeles County prior to the City
establishing its own Housing Authority. The City of Santa Monica does not administer any public
housing. The LACHA has resident managers at these projects and has in place a modernization
program to improve the living environment of each project.
City of Santa Monica
Action Plan for FY 2004-05 Page 22
D U N S#: 074152596
The LACHA encourages participation of residents in the operation, management and modernization
of the projects owned and operated by LACHA.
Program-Specific Requirements
CDBG Program
The Listing of Proposed Projects describes the activities with respect to all CDBG funds expected to
be available during FY 2004-05. In addition to the City's FY 2004-05 grant amount of $1,647,769,
the City anticipates $1,323,252 in program income. Any additional program income will be
programmed to Virginia Avenue Park or Low/Moderate Income Housing.
The City does not have any surplus urban renewal settlements, grant funds returned to the line of
credit, or income from float-funded activities coming as revenues to CDBG funds during the one
year action plan. In addition, there are no "urgent need" activities, as defined by HUD, requested in
CDBG funds for FY 2004-05.
HOME Program
The Listing of Proposed Projects describes the activities with respect to all HOM E funds expected
to be available during FY 2004-05. In addition to the City's FY 2004-05 grant amount of $834,314,
the City anticipates $29,000 in program income, for a total of $863,314 in HOME funds. Pursuant to
the Consolidated Plan requirements, the following sets forth Santa Monica's specific regulations for
HOME funded activities.
Resale Provisions
The City does not use HOME funds for homeownership programs, and therefore resale provisions
do not apply. The City uses local funding sources (TORCA, Inclusionary Housing Trust Fund) for
ownership programs, and has adopted resale provisions under these programs.
Tenant-Based Rental Assistance
The City will use HOME funds ($150,000) for Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) payments
targeted to very low income, homeless or disabled persons. The Santa Monica Housing Authority
will administer the program.
Set-aside for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs)
The City reserves at least 15% of each year's HOME allocation for investment in rental housing
(new construction, acquisition and rehabilitation) developed by its CHDO, Community Corporation
of Santa Monica.
Matching Contribution
The City provides annual non-federal matching contributions well in excess of the required 25% of
the HOME funds draw for affordable housing. Match contributions are made from locally generated
funds including housing trust funds, redevelopment set-aside funds and private conventional loans.
Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) Expenses
The City provides Community Corporation of Santa Monica with a$32,900 reimbursement for
assisting and operating the HOME program.
City of Santa Monica

Affirmative Marketing
Santa Monica has adopted the following affirmative fair housing marketing guidelines for use of
HOME funds:

from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under
any program or activity funded in whole or in part with HOME funds.
The Borrower shall establish an affirmative marketing and tenant selection plan for each
project containing five (5) or more units. The plan shall describe the marketing efforts
and tenant selection procedures of the Borrower to attract eligible persons from all racial,
ethnic and gender groups in the housing market area to the available housing. The
marketing and tenant selection plan shall be submitted with the loan application.
