Approve the Proposed FY2017 -18 One -Year CDBG and HOME Action Plan (Attachment A). 2. Authorize the Ci ty Manager to submit all documents required to receive the City’s annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) entitlement grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Executiv e Summary The City of Santa Monica leverages long -standing sources of Federal funds to meet local community needs, particularly in assisting low -income residents and their neighborhoods with capital investment, housing aid and social services. The primary sources of these funds (besides Section 8 funding for rental assistance) are Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and HOME grants. To receive CDBG and HOME grant funds, the City must submit a Council -approved One -Year Action Plan to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) prior to May 15, 2017. The Action Plan outlines how the funds will be expended and confirms that the funded activities are consistent with the City’s Five -Year Consolidated Plan adopted by Council on May 12, 2015 (At tachment B). The FY2017 -18 One -Year Action Plan proposes goals, activities and specific allocations for an estimated amount of $2M in CDBG and HOME funds for capital projects, public service programs, tenant - based rental assistance and program administrati on. Proposed FY2017 -18 CDBG and HOME funding allocations remain level with FY2016 -17 allocations. Specific 2 of 4 appropriations of these funds will be included in the Proposed FY2017 -19 Biennial Budget and Proposed FY2017 -18 Exception Based CIP Budget. Discus sion The Proposed FY2017 -18 Action Plan details program allocations for CDBG and HOME funds to address the high -priority needs identified in the City’s 2015 -19 Consolidated Plan. Santa Monica’s key objectives for the FY2017 -18 funding period include:  Exp anding housing opportunities for low -income households through an increase in the supply of decent, safe, and affordable housing and rental assistance;  Supporting efforts to help homeless or near -homeless Santa Monica residents secure adequate temporary an d permanent housing and receive necessary supportive services;  Focus on assisting persons to develop skill sets and linking these persons to actual jobs once training is complete; and  Improving accessibility for persons living with disabilities and seniors ; and completing improvements to infrastructure including broadband for affordable housing buildings. Both programs benefit residents with special needs and incomes at or below 80% of area median income (low and moderate income). The City’s total estimate d CDBG and HOME allocation for FY2017 -18 is $1.5 million, reflecting level funding in program and administrative revenues from FY2016 -17. The City will also program $360,000 in unallocated prior year funds and an additional $187,000 in anticipated program income resulting from repayment of affordable housing loans originally provided using CDBG and HOME funds. The FY2017 -18 estimated funding allocations include:  CDBG: $1,027,760 in new federal funds, $36 0,000 in prior year unallocated funds and $87,000 in projected program income funds for capital projects, public service and administration activities. 3 of 4  HOME: $439,447 in new federal funds and $100,000 in program income for tenant -based rental assistance and administration . CDBG and HOME programs provide f unding to support affordable housing, capital improvements, and administrative reimbursement. In accordance with federal regulations, a maximum of 15 percent of current year CDBG funding may be allocated for public service to nonprofit organizations. Publi c service allocations support operating grants that address and prevent homelessness by providing support services to low - income households, including people who are homeless or at high risk of homelessness, people with disabilities, and the frail elderly. While the City has committed $201,268 in annual CDBG funding to nonprofits through FY2018 -19, the remain ing funding allocated in the FY2017 -18 Action Plan is for one -time, shovel ready projects which are not dependent on future funding. Regardless, a ny cu ts to future allocations will erode the City’s social safety net and limit capital improvements to low - income areas and public facilities. City staff anticipates the release of the comprehensive 2018 Federal Budget in May 2017 and will continue to monitor HUD’s budget for 2018 and beyond in order to identify potential impacts to future allocations. Public Outreach The Proposed One -Year Action Plan is available for a 30 -day public review period from March 24, 2017 to April 24, 2017. Staff will incorpo rate changes based on any input received through the public review process. The Council approved Action Plan must be submitted to HUD no later than May 15, 2017. Public Hearing Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 2.68.050, the City has adopted a public com ment process which requires two public hearings prior to the adoption of a Consolidated Plan and Action Plan. The public hearings held on January 24, 2017 at the Council Meeting and March 30, 201 7 at the Housing Commission satisfy the two meeting requireme nt to receive public input and recommendations for the P roposed FY2017 -18 Action Plan. Financial Impacts & Budget Actions 4 of 4 Staff projections for these awards have been included in various account numbers as part of the City’s Proposed FY2017 -19 Biennial B udget and FY2017 -18 Exception Based CIP Budget. HUD’s submission requirements for the CDBG and HOME Action Plan precede the City Council’s approval of the City’s Budget.

Introduction The Fiscal Year 2017 -18 Annual Action Plan represents the third year of the City of Santa Monica 2015 - 19 Consolidated Plan as adopted by Council on May 12, 2015 and approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Action Plan is prepared in response to a consolidated process developed by HUD for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME) programs. This Consolidated Plan outlines housing, community and economic development needs, priorities, strategies, and projects that will be undertaken by t he City of Santa Monica with the funds that the City receives from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As an entitlement jurisdiction, the City receives an annual share of federal CDBG and HOME funds. In order to receive its CDBG and HOME entitlement, the City must submit this Annual Action Plan to HUD. The CDBG and HOME funds are intended to provide lower and moderate -income households with viable communities, including decent housing, a suitable living environment, affordable hou sing and expanded economic opportunities. Eligible activities include community facilities and improvements, housing rehabilitation and preservation, public services, economic development, planning, and program administration. The Action Plan serves the following functions: 1) a planning document for the City, which builds upon a cit izen participation process; 2) a n application for federal funds under HU D’sAformulaAgrantAprograms,A3)A a strategy for the upcoming fiscal year that describes programs and pr ojects to be undertaken to meet established goals; and 4) a basis for assessing performance. It is important to note that the Consolidated Plan sets the five -year framework to b e achieved over the FY 2015 -19 period and identifies a list of community priori ty needs. The seven Consolidated Plan Goals represent high priority needs for the City of Santa Monica and serve as the basis for FY2017 -18 programs and activities identified in this Action Plan. 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic pla n.

The affordable housing and development needs of a community will always outweigh the resources available to address those needs. Therefore, it is necessary to prio ritize the use of available funds to the highest and best use to meet the most pressing needs for housing, the homeless, the special needs populations, and community development. The project budgeted amounts included in this Action Plan are estimated as 2 017 final entitlement allocations have not been released.

Administration of Community Development Block Gr ant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds is shared by the Community and Cultural Services Department (CCS) and the Housing and Econo mic Development Department (HED). The two Divisions work closely to ensure they meet shared project goals and take a consistent approach to administering projects. In addition, these divisions work with public agencies, for -profit, and non -profit organizations that play a part in the provision of affordable housing and community services. Currently the City is using HOME funding for Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA). In 2016, the City received approval for an exception payment standard, to be more competitive with the market, as voucher holders were having a difficult time finding owne rs who will accept their vouchers, with contract rents substantially below market rents. The City has concerns with the future of federal resources and will continue to monitor funding closely.

Introduction 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(l)) Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. Despite a robust investment of local resources in human services, including services for people who are homeless, the City continues to be impacted by the overall rise in need for social services in the region. As one of 88 cities in Los Angeles County, and sharing all borders with the City of Los Angeles, Santa Monica encouragesAsurroundingAcommunitiesAtoAtakeAonAtheirA“fairAshare”AofAtheAcostAandAresourceAburdenAofA providing housing and services for people who are homeless. Locally, the City also enhances coordination of housing and services, both private and public, through monthly Chronic Homeless Project (CHP) case conferencing meetings, which brings together representatives from the Santa Monica Housing Authority, SMPD, SM Fire and Human Services with City - funded homeless prov iders and county mainstream programs (Dept. of Mental Health). The CHP meetings focus on case planning and steps necessary to house the most vulnerable, chronically homeless individuals and families. CHP meetings are also a forum for supporting formerly ho meless CHP participants in need of extra housing retention efforts. Local efforts are based on prioritizing the most acute and long -term homeless individuals in the City, based on VI -SPDAT scores and contact with local agencies and first responders. Based on annual homeless count data, this is consistent with the local unsheltered population which is all single individuals, almost entirely adults. The City coordinates resources and services through the Human Services Division (HSD), which includes a Hom eless Initiatives Team of 5 FTE that manages City grant funds to non -profit agencies, coordinates serviceAdeliveryAtoAhomelessAindividualsAonAtheACity’sAby -name Service Registry as well as to low -income seniors and people with disabilities, and conducts th e annual Homeless Count. TheACity’sAapproachAisA aligned with the Continuum of Care priorities and best practices such as identification and prioritization of the most acute and chronically homeless individuals for local housing and services using a Housin g First model. The City has increased investment in services for this population by funding a multi -disciplinary streetAteamAtoAdeliverAintensiveAservicesAtoA25AindividualsAwhoAareAtheAhighestAutilizersAofAtheACity’sApoliceA and fire services. HSD also supp orts a community -wide safety net that provides services to youth, families, and low -income households to promote housing stability, economic opportunities, education, and health. The City coordinates with the Continuum of Care by actively participating i n the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative which is driven by the County Executive Office and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, as the CoC lead agency. Santa Monica is focusing especially on County strategies that create a coordinated system, subsidize housing and increase the supply of affordable housing. This plan has been effective in bringing regional partners together to form collaborative efforts and improving coordination between public (housing authorities, County Depts. of Mental Health, Public Health, Health Services and Annual Action Plan 2017 9 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) Public Social Services) and private (foundations, corporations, housing developers, non -profit organizations, and faith based communities) housing and services. A Santa Monica city staff member, representingAtheAWestsideACouncilAofAGovernments;AisAparticipatingAonAL HS ’sAnewlyAesta blished Regional Homeless Advisory Council which will establish a CoC Governance Board. The City extends its involvement with regional partners by continu ing to work with United Way of Greater LA Home for Good plan, to address chronic and veteran homelessn ess in Los Angeles County. Home For Good is focused on aligning existing resources, improving coordination of private and public funding, and targeting the most chronic and vulnerable individuals for immediate housing. T he City has participated in the d evelopment and implementation of the Continuum of Care Coordinated Entry System (CES), in accordance with HUD requirements. CES seeks to standardize the assessment process to ensure people who are homeless are matched to the most appropriate housing option s, while enhancing coordination of housing and services through intensive collaboration. CES brings together local resources with county departments, housing authorities, mainstream benefits, the Veterans Administration (VA), and private sector partners. H SD and the Housing Department also participate in CoC planning meetings, quarterly CoC meetings and LAHSA Commission meetings to provide comment on critical CoC issues such as performance measures, evaluation tools, and NOFA prioritization. Describe cons ultation 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 While the City does not administer ESG funds, the City does participate in quarterly Continuum of Care (CoC) meeting s as well as relevant governance meetings of the CoC lead agency where funding prio rities, evaluation tools and performance measures are discussed and adopted . All CoC funded programs are required to submit Annual Performance Reports (APR) to the CoC lead agency. The City manages an independent Homeless Management Information System (HMI S) that is funded through HUD CoC and localAgeneralAfunds.ADataAfromASantaAMonica’sAHMISAisAuploadedAregularlyAtoAtheACoCAHMISAsystem.ATheA City convenes HMIS Steering Committee meeting s with local service provider HMIS leads to update policies and procedur es and discuss administrative issues related to the local HMIS. Local consent forms and policies are based on CoC standards. City -funded programs share t his common computerized database to track unduplicated participants and their outcomes, as well as to c oordinate cas e management within the system. The City was one of the first communities nationally to build the Vulnera bility Index assessment into an existing HMIS, which allowed for the full integration of the Service Re gistry into HMIS to improve case c oordination and outcome reporting. 2. Describe Agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process and describe the jurisdiction’s consultations with housing, social service agencies and other entities The City of Santa Monica has established a number of commissions and advisory boards comprised of interested citizens to monitor the needs of the community and advise the City Council on the best way to Annual Action Plan 2017 10 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) address these needs. As part of the consultation proc ess, the Human Services and Housing Divisions met with the Housing Commission, Social Services Commission, Disabilities Commission, Commission for the Senior Community, Virginia Avenue Park Advisory Board, and Commission on the Status of Women to receive i nput and identify the highest community needs and priorities. The City also partners with over 30 local non -profit organizations to ensure the adequate provision of housing and community services in Santa Monica. The organizations are invited to the Commi ssion meetings and to the Public Hearings, where their ideas, expressions of need, and information on program activitiesAareAsought.AAMoreAinformationAonAtheACity’sAnon -profit partners can be found in the 2 015 -19 Human Services Grants Pro gram plan at www.smgov.net/ccsgrants .

The figures shown in the table below reflect estimated HUD allocations. Any increase or decreases in funding will be applied to the Gigabit Broadband for 100% Affordable Housing Buildings (CDBG) and Tenant Based Rental Assistance (HOME). The figure for “ExpectedA mountA vailableARemainderAofAConPlan”Aanticipa tes level funding using the 2017 allocation amounts and projecting those amounts over the two remaining years covered by the Consolidated Plan. If ther e are funding cuts to CDBG or HOME over the remaining years, the City will adjust accordingly and craft future Annual Action Plans reflective of funding realities.

Meetings and discussions were held between the staff of the City's Human Services Division and other City Departments, as wel l as with ap propriate housing and social service agencies regarding the housing needs of children, elderly persons, persons with disabili ties, and homeless persons. Public input was also solicited through Commission meetings and public hearings. All projects selecte d to receive funding meet objectives and goals set by the City to address housing and service needs. # Project Name 1 Gigabit Broadband for 100% Affordable Housing Buildings 2 Home Access Program -Westside Center for Independent Living 3 Employment Program -Chrysalis 4 Chronic Homeless Program - St. Joseph Center 5 Legal Services Program -Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles 6 CDBG Administration 7 Tenant Based Rental Assistance 8 HOME Administration 9 CHDO Reserve 10 Residential Rehabilitation Table 9 – Project Information Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs The selected activities are deemed to be of the highest priority and meet the greatest need. As described above, Consolidated Plan needs and priorities were identified through the input of community leaders, citizen participation, and the several Commission meetings and public Annual Action Plan 2017 25 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) hearings with the objective of using the limited resources to have the greatest impact in meeting the most pressing needs. These inputs were described in the public participation section of the 2015 -19 Consolidated Plan. The City is also in touch with agency officials and organization heads in other municipalities and with county, state, and regional organizations.

They were also mentioned in the course of discussions. These discussions confirmed the already known needs of these areas, complementing or corroborating the data. Discussion The resourc es available under the FY2017 -18 Action Plan are limited. The City target s funding according to the priority needs through out the City, with an emphasis on helping the lowest -income households. Depending on the type of need being addressed, resources may or may not be geographically targeted. Public services for FY2017 -18 are not geographically targeted. Services will be provided to eligible program participants in such a manner as to provide the greatest level of availability to the widest area possible. Assistance to projects that improve public facilities/infrastructu re will be undertaken in a specific location within a low -income area. A project may only be funded outside of this area if the project primarily benefits low -income households or persons presumed to be low -income, such as adults with disabilities. 100% of the funds are allocated to projects that meet the low -income limited clientele, low -mod housing or low -mod area national objective. Annual Action Plan 2017 35 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) Affordable Housing AP -55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g) Introduction A barrier to affordable housing in the City of Santa Monica is the affordable rental housing stock and the lack of funding for new construction and rehabilitation. Another barrier to affordable housing in Santa Monica is the high cost of housing created b y a demand for housing, both existing and new, which exceeds the current supply. Santa Monica is perceived as a desirable place to live, and has experienced growth in terms of both businesses that wish to operate here and in terms of people who wish to res ide here. Despite the recent downturn in the housing market nationally, housing prices, both purchase and rental, remain high, especially for lower income households. In addition, the cost of site acquisition is very high, and development costs are also v ery high. These facts make housing construction expensive and put affordable housing out of the reach of low -income households. The Housing Needs Assessment also identified stringent criteria in the mortgage origination process due to the foreclosure cris is, which also is outside the scope and control of City policy. In some instances, issues revolving around personal finances (lack of down payment, credit history, employment history) affect the availability of affordable housing for Santa Monica resident s.

It is the intention of the Authority to continue to provide safe, attractive affordable housing to its Housing Choice Voucher, Continuum of Care and HOME tenants.

Numerous agencies are often involved to prevent homelessness and support person s who are homeless , providing distinct servic es such as housing, mental health, employment training, eviction prevention and legal services, and case management services. A number of activities and services are funded to help the needs of homeless households and other special needs populations. Overall, these services address the high priority of reducing homelessness as well as providing intervention services to prevent homelessness . There are several special needs groups identified as having a higher need fo r affordable housing. T hese groups include : the elderly and frail elderly, persons living with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental ), victims of domestic violence at risk youth and aging -out foster youth , and members of the Santa Monica Service Re gistry, which is a list of the most vulnerable chronically homeless individuals as determined by length of time on the streets, age, and physical and mental health conditions. Seniors, persons living with disabilities, and chronically homeless Service Regi stry participants are more likely to have difficulty maintaining safe and stable housing, affording housing, and navigating service systems that provide support . Seniors and persons living with disabilities also have a need for physically accessible housin g, whether for new housing, rehabilitated existing housing, or the adaptation of the housing they currently occupy. In addition to general challenges, seniors may have supportive needs resulting from dementia and increasing physical debilitation and other age -related illness . 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 As part of the Coordinated Ent ry System (CES) for Los Angeles County, Santa Monica homeless service agencies are all using the VI -SPDAT triage pre -assessment tool. The VI -SPDAT is a well -researched survey instrumentAbeingAutilizedAbyAoverA70AcommunitiesAthatAassessesAanAindividual’sAst rengths and challenges in areas of housing, risky behavior, socialization, and wellness (health and behavioral health). The VI -SPDAT surveys result in a numerical score used to determine the most appropriate intervention for each individual, with low scoring individuals receiving light services and high scoring individuals receiving intensive services up to and including permanent supportive housing. CES has already com pleted VI -SPDATs on over 600 people this quarter for a total to -date of 4,277 individuals in Santa Monica and West Los Angeles. Funding for CES has increased significantly to expand efforts and reach more unsheltered individuals with additional funds fro m LAHSA to complement investments by United Way of Greater Los Angeles and the Hilton Foundation . Annual Action Plan 2017 38 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) In addition to participating in CES, the City also funds Assertive Case Management Teams and outreach staff at local non -profits who engage homeless individuals on the streets and provide case management and housing navigation assistance in the field. City efforts are leveraged with County -funded outreach teams such as the Integrated Mobile Health Team (IMHT) and Street Medicine teams which provide med ical and behavioral health care to homeless people on the streets with the purpose of linking them to appropriate housing. In FY 2017 -18, the City will continue implementing another interdisciplinary mobile treatment team , which began during FY2016 -17 and i s funded through City General Funds , that engage s chronically homeless individuals with substance ab use disorders in public spaces, provide comprehensive physical and behavioral health assessments and utilize peer counselors and social workers to engage th em in on -going treatment and housing. The City also utilizes first responders as a means of engaging and assessing the needs of homeless individuals. Santa Monica Police Department maintains a specialized Homeless Liaison Program (HLP) Team of six officer s and a sergeant who work in conjunction with local nonprofits and City departments (HumanAServices;AtheACityA ttorney’sAOffice;AFireAandAHousing)AtoAidentifyAvulnerableAindividualsAandA coordinate services. SMPD also provides training to all patrol office rs on safe and appropriate methods for engaging and de -escalating people with mental illness. SMPD has developed the only POST -approved homeless curriculum in the state, which has been offered to sworn and civilian personnel from across the country. The Fi re Department is also working to update their electronic records system to include additional homeless assessment questions that can be shared with Human Services and local providers to help connect vulnerable individuals to on -going care after emergency s ervices. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City will continue to support over 400 interim housing beds in the community. While this number is insufficient to house all of the individuals identified in the point -in -time count, this number is more than aA“fairAshare”;AproportionalAtoAtheACity’sAsize;AandAtheAdistributionAandAdensityAofAhomelessAindividualsA acrossAL ’sAContinuumAofACare.AInterimAhousingAbedsAareAdesignedAtoAbeAshort -term programs for indiv iduals who have been identified as appropriate for PSH, and are either awaiting a voucher or searching for a unit. In FY17/18, as the County and City of LA continue implementation of their recently adopted homeless strategies, the City will be looking for opportunities to collaborate on projects on the Westside of LA County that will build housing and s ervices capacity in the region. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and the ir 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 Annual Action Plan 2017 39 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) recently homeless from becoming homeless again Please see answer below. Helping low -income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low -income indiv iduals 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, employ ment, education, or youth needs The goals and actions to address the issues noted above include:  Increase the supply of supportive housing for special needs populations  Preserve existing special needs housing and supportive services  Adapt existing housing to meet the needs of special needs populations  Improve access to services for special needs persons  Assist homeless individuals and those at ri sk of homelessness with access to permanent affordable housing and necessary supportive services including legal services  Coordinate homeless services and encourage collaboration among service providers sApartAofAtheACity’sAHumanAServicesAGrantsAProgram; homeless agencies and other non -profits are funded to provide post -housing placement retention services, supportive services to build income, stabilize health and behavioral health issues, legal services and benefits assistance that enable people to retai n their housing. The City has recently expanded efforts to prevent people from losing their housing, especially those who are low -income/fixed income, disabled, elderly and/or living in rent controlled, deed restricted or Section 8 housing. Dependent on th e availability of funds, in FY17/18, the City will continue the Senior Housing Task Force, a collaborative group of City and County departments and non - profit agencies that meets monthly to identify older adults at imminent risk of losing their housing due to unsafe living conditions. The Task Force provides intensive interventions to bring housing up to safe and habitable standards and negotiates to prevent eviction. The City also has strict tenant harassment laws, and provides funding to Legal Aid Foundat ion of Los Angeles to investigate harassment claims and provide legal representation to low -income tenants to prevent unlawful evictions which often target the elderly, people with disabilities and Section 8 tenants. In addition, the City maintains a Flexi ble Funding pool of General Fund dollars that can be used for costs associated with eviction prevention, including short -term direct rental assistance, moving costs, damage mitigation, utility assistance, etc. These funds are often leveraged with federal F amily Self Sufficiency resources that provides assistance to Section 8 households to build economic self -sufficiency and reduce dependence on public benefits.

Annual Action Plan 2017 42 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) AP -85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Introduction The City is committed to addressing the needs of underserved populations in the community and fully understands that to efficiently leverage CDBG funds it is necessary to mitigate obstacles low income families face in securing financial opportunities, affo rdable housing and ensuring the safety of their homes. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The continued growth of regional needs for homeless services and housing retention is the greatest challenge to meeting underserved n eeds in the coming year. Significant ballot measures in LA County, LA City and City of Santa Monica were passed by voters to increase the resources available to tackle this problem via boosting affordable housing production and increase funding for service s. To overcome this significant challenge, locally, the City will increase efficiencies by facilitating more collaboration with other agencies and organizations, and identifying more opportunities to leverage funds. Regionally, the City will continue to participate in working groups to strategize the application of these new resources to fund the critical services proposed in the City and County of LA homeless strategies, adopted in February 2016. The plans provide the blueprint to increa se the supply of affordable housing, expand the availability of housing options, coordinate services and housing systems, and improve economic opportunities for low -income households. To the extent possible, the City will apply its leadership in this area to support these efforts by sharing best practices, providing technical assistance and helping to activate other communities in being accountable for local needs. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City places great emphasis up on seeing that decent, safe affordable housing is available for low - income residents to the extent possible. The City also believes that rehabilitation of housing units is a High priority, as these efforts keep people in affordable housing and, especially for extremely low - income and elderly homeowners, may serve to prevent homelessness. Homeless activities, ran ge from emergency shelter to homelessness prevention receive a High priority. Thus, the City will focus on multiple efforts including rental assi stance, rental rehabilitation, new rental construction, as well as homeowner repair to provide affordable housing and in many instances prevent homelessness. Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards Since inception of the CDBG program, all homes older than 1978 scheduled for rehabilitation activities receive lead -based paint testing to determine the extent of lead hazards. Lead was found mostly in small amounts such as frames on the doors and was usually on the exterior of the house. All of the l ead that Annual Action Plan 2017 43 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) was found was addressed by interim controls and abatement through covering and/or painting. The City will also continue to take the following actions this program year to meet lead -based paint requirements: •AReportAincidentsAofAlead -poisoning to the Los Angeles County Health Department ; •AIncorporateAlead -based paint hazard reduction procedures into rehabilitation guidelines; •ADevelopAandAdistributeAlead -based paint reduction and abatement information to all landlords, managers, tenants, or owner -occupants of rehabilitation properties, as well as to community groups; •AWorkAcooperativelyAwithAitsAnonprofitAhousingAprovidersAandAcommunityAhealthAorganizationsAto provide educational material and identify potential sources of lead poisoning in City -a ssisted affordable housing projects; •A pplyAhousingAqualityAstandardsAtoAinspectionsAofASectionA8AunitsAandAassessArisksAofAexposureAto lead - based paint for households with chil dren six years of age and under; •A ddressAblightAinAindividualAbuildingsAbyAe liminating specific conditions that present health and safety hazards to the public; and •AProvideAlead -based paint testing and remediation to existing single - and multi -family units, targeting low and moderate income households. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families sAnotedAabove;AtheACity’sAanti -poverty strategy is part of a coordinated effort to create jobs and improve the local economy. CDBG provides the core funding for critical basic needs including health, childcare, housi ng, and transportation because the creation of economic opportunities is not an isolated solution to alleviating poverty. The City works with community partners to identify educational, life skills and training needs and provide opportunities for self -em powerment that will enable low - and moderate -income residents to become and continue to be self -sufficient and economically independent. These programs have an immediate impact on primary needs of low -income households and the causes of poverty. The City will continue to implement the anti -poverty strategy outlined in the preceding Consolidated Plan. This includes continued prioritization of housing and homeless programs per HUD requirements, as well as other programs that address the following: 1) Pre -voc ational and job readiness skills training including assessment and assistance with applications, resumes, job -seeking skills and work performance standards; 2) Job development and placement for temporary and permanent employment opportunities with business es, industry, and government; 3) Apprenticeships and training linkages with skills center and other vocational resources; 4) Educational enrichment, skill -building, and parental support to encourage children and youth to be healthy, succeed in school, avoi d gang activity, and prepare for productive adulthood; 5) Youth skill -building and development to design innovative and creative alternatives to criminal involvement, youth violence, isolation, and loss of opportunities for growth; 6) Legal services to in clude brief service and full representation in landlord/tenant matters, public benefits assistance, immigration, discrimination, consumer affairs, and other critical legal aid; 7) Domestic violence intervention and prevention that Annual Action Plan 2017 44 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) offers counsel and advic e, immediate assistance in obtaining restraining, stay -away and other protective orders, and critical support services to victims of domestic violence; 8) Independent living skills and assistance and peer counseling to ensure full self -sufficiency and ind ependence among elderly and disabled individuals; 9) Child care subsidies (infant, preschool and elementary) and assistance to working parents; 10) 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. Actions planned to develop institutional structure Please see answer below. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City has id entified gaps in institutional structure for implementing the Consolidated Plan and ways to enhance coordination among housing agencies and social service providers. These gaps included a lack of sufficient resources and the need for better information di ssemination and sharing among agencies and organizations that provide services. As noted in PR -10, the City has been proactive in addressing these gaps and undertaken a number of specific actions to overcome these gaps. The City will continue to work w ith other agencies and departments in several areas including social services, lead abatement and mental health services. The City will continue to seek to establish new relationships with the private sector to accomplish economic and community developmen t activities. The City currently coordinates housing and services for homeless and formerly homeless households through monthly Chronic Homeless Project case conferencing meetings, led by Human Services with representatives from all City -funded homeless programs, County Mental Health and SMPD. The Senior Housing Task Force is also enhancing coordination between housing and social service agencies and allowing for early intervention to prevent housed older adults from becoming homeless due to complications of cognitive d ecline. Policy coordination occurs through formal quarterly meetings with Human Services and Housing Authority staff, in addition to frequent informal communications to collaborate on shared program participant issues. Discussion Also, the City will encou rage the efforts of the Santa Monica Housing Authority which administers the Section 8 vouchers within the City and the Section 8 Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program (which teaches employment and self -sufficiency skills to low income families with childr en). Annual Action Plan 2017 45 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) Program Specific Requirements AP -90 Program Specific Requirements – 91.220(l)(1,2,4) Introduction The City currently uses various administrative mechanisms to track and monitor progress of HUD -funded projects and activities that are under its contro l and jurisdiction. The goal is to ensure that Consolidated Plan and Action 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 monitorin g goals of the City are:  Provide technical assistance to grant administrators and staff.  Ensure activities are carried out in compliance with federal, state, and local requirements.  Identify deficiencies and promote corrections in order to improve the Cit y’sAabilityAtoAadhereAtoA the Consolidated Plan objectives and annual goals. City staff participate in monthly meetings to discuss project progress, and set meetings with subrecipients as necessary to discuss project or program progress. Project Selection 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. Subrecipients are also requi red to enter into agreements that specify objectives, scope of work, applicable timelines and performance targets, budget, federal, state, and local regulatory requirements, and monitoring and reporting requirements. InAaddition;AtheACityAmayAundertakeAactivitiesAandAsubmitAanAapplicationAthroughAtheACity’sACapitalA Improvement Program. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds the acquisition, expansion or rehabilitation of land, buildings, and other major infrastru cture. Projects included in the CIP budget are those that cost more than $50,000 and involve public works construction. Program/Project Monitoring To ensure the accomplishments of the goals and objectives, the City is involved with administration and coord ination of all City -funded programs and related activities. An inter -departmental team, which consists of project managers and relevant City staff, meets monthly to monitor the progress of CDBG - and HOME -funded projects. City staff in a number of departmen ts and divisions, including Human Services, Housing and Economic Development, Engineering, and other key offices, provides technical assistance as needed to subrecipients. During project implementation, subrecipients are required to submit periodic progres s reports detailing project progress toward objectives, problems and/or resolution to meeting goals, and quantitative participation data by ethnicity, income, and household status. Periodic reports and payment requests are reviewed for compliance with the project agreement, budget consistency, and documentation of expenditures. Subrecipients are advised of any procedural errors and/or ineligible activities, and provided with technical assistance as needed. Annual Action Plan 2017 46 OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) Upon project completion, project sponsors are requi red to submit completion reports identifying program/project accomplishments, including number of persons or households served, ethnicity, and income level. The City and subrecipients shall comply with participant eligibility requirements for Community Dev elopment Block Grant (CDBG) funded projects as detailed in 24 CFR Subpart C of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Regulations and 24 CFR Part 92 for HOME projects . The City or subrecipients collect income verification documentation at the time of inta ke and at least annually while the participant is receiving CDBG -funded services or during project construction . Projects are subject to an on -site performance and financial audit review on a selective basis during project implementation or upon completio n of a project. Priority for on -site performance and/or audit review is given to high -risk programs. Ongoing Monitoring of Housing Projects Affordable housing development projects must submit annual compliance reports throughout the period of required affo rdability. These reports are designed to ensure continued compliance with federal regulations, affordability and use restrictions, and other requirements as specified in project loan documents. In addition, all HOME and CDBG -assisted projects will be subje ct to periodic on -site inspections to ensure continued compliance with federal housing quality standards.

Discussion The HOME TBRA program provides rental subsidies for extremely low -, very low -, and low -income households up to 24 months or longer with an extension and if funding is available. Targeted populations include tenants at -risk of losing their housing and becom ing homeless (such as rent burdened households), seniors, persons living with permanent disabilities, and persons experiencing homelessness . The program is managed by the Santa Monica Housing Authority [SMHA] and operated with guidance from the SMHA Admin istrative Plan. Required lease terms are specific to HOME regulations. Further details about the TBRA program can be obtained from SMHA staff at 310 -458 -8743. Voucher holders of all rental assistance programs have experienced significant challenges in fin ding apartments in Santa Monica due to the high level of market rents contrasted with the low voucher payment standard. Voucher utilization has been significantly impacted due to this challenge. Additionally, with the recent proposed legislation by Congre ss to eliminate the HOME program, Santa Monica stopped issuing HOME vouchers. The SMHA recently requested a new, higher Exception Payment Standard which has been approved by HUD and that may result in increased voucher utilization.
