COMPRMMSM HOUSING AFFORDABILITY STRATEGY
ii:.i>.n�.r�,. :v.... .:
The National Affordable Housing Act requires all jurisdictions
receiving federal funding through the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), or other housing programs, prepare a Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS). The CHAS documents
include a Five Year Strategy prepared for 1991-96, an Annual Plan
for 1993, and a Performance Report for 1992.
In the Five Year CHAS, the City of Santa Clarita identified
several priorities, including the need to provide new affordable
multi -family housing, opportunities for homeownership, relief of
overcrowded conditions, and rehabilitation of substandard units.
During 1992, little progress was made on these priorities, so
specific programs have been incorporated into the 1993 Plan.
These include a single family rehabilitation program, a first
time homebuyer assistance program, and the use of tax exempt
financing for the construction of new affordable multi -family
housing.
Public input received also included the need for increased tenant
rental assistance, emergency shelters for the homeless, and
transitional housing. The CHAS, which previously did not include
shelters and transitional housing as a priority for funding, has
been revised to include these priorities for implementation
during the 1991-96 time period.
The draft CHAS documents will be finalised after a 30 day public
comment period and submitted to the Department of Housing and
Urban Development. in addition to the CDBG program, submission
of the CHAS will allow the City to participate in federal housing
Programs such as HOPE, HOME and the Emergency Shelter Grant if
appropriate.
