EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2008-2009 ANNUAL ACTIONPLAN
2004-2008 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
The City of Santa Clarita is located approximately 35 miles northwest of the City of Los
Angeles and is home to over 177,000 residents. The City was created in 1987 by residents
and businesses who wanted to protect the community and its natural resources. The City of
Santa Clarita is made up of four distinct communities; Valencia, Saugus, Canyon Country,
and Newhall. The City is surrounded by pristine hills and intersected by the last natural
river in Southern California, the Santa Clara and its tributaries. Santa Clarita is the fourth
largest City within the County of Los Angeles in terms of population and is growing at a rate
of approximately 3% per year. The annexations of the Northpark, California Canyons, and
Stonecrest neighborhoods brought the city to 52 square miles in size. The population of the
City of Santa Clarita is anticipated to reach 197,000 by 2010. The population of the entire
Santa Clarita Valley is projected to climb to 300,000 by 2010.
The City of Santa Clarita has adopted a 2004-2008 Consolidated Plan as a requirement to
receive federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Consolidated Plan addresses
the City's low- and moderate -income housing and community development needs and sets
forth a strategic plan of five-year goals, specific objectives, annual goals, and benchmarks
for measuring progress.
This is the last Annual Action Plan for the 2004-2008 Consolidated Plan and describes
resources, programs, activities, and actions Santa Clarita will use its CDBG funding on in the
upcoming 2008-2009 fiscal year to implement its strategic plan and ultimately achieve its
Consolidated Plan priorities of: 1) improving and expanding infrastructure (high priority); 2)
increasing, improving, and maintaining affordable housing (high priority); and 3) improving
supportive services for low- and moderate -income residents (medium priority).
PROGRAM PERFORMANCE
All programs implemented since fiscal year 2004-2005 have met the identified needs
revealed in the 2004-2008 Consolidated Plan. Accordingly, over 6,000 persons have
received improved access to various public services and over 500 housing units have been
made more affordable and habitable due to the efforts of these programs. Program
disbursements have been timely and are on target with regard to program performance.
Each program's past performance is detailed below.
Infrastructure
The City of Santa Clarita incurred $3,500,000 in debt service to fund three major
infrastructure projects in low- and moderate -income neighborhoods. The first project
involved the construction of a multi -use community building located on a local school site in
an area with one of the highest concentrations of low- and moderate -income families. The
community center, also known as the Boys & Girls Club, offers quality programs in
education and career development, the arts, character and leadership development, sports,
recreation and fitness,. and health and life skills. Section .108 debt service payments will
continue through 2017 for this project.

CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
CALIFORNIA
2008-2009 ANNUAL ACTIONPLAN
2004-2008 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
Another Section 108 loan was incurred for the East Newhall Infrastructure Project which
included the construction of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and drainage in one of Santa Clarita's
underserved neighborhoods. The infrastructure improvements created a safer and cleaner
environment and resulted in increased neighborhood pride and improved private property
maintenance. This debt will be fully repaid in 2014.
The third section 108 loan received was for the Scherzinger Lane Infrastructure Project.
Similar to the East Newhall Project, loan proceeds for this project were used to fund new
curbs, gutters, drainage, and sidewalks. The improvements proved to have a positive effect
on, this low- and moderate -income neighborhood in that private developers invested in a
new housing development and street lighting project on Scherzinger Lane. Loan payments
will proceed until 2017.
Affordable Housing
Over the years since the 2004-2008 Consolidated Plan was submitted, the City's CDBG
Entitlement allocation has decreased by almost 15% limiting the amount of funds available
for lower priority needs. This has forced the City to re-examine the ways in which CDBG
funds are used for all priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan.
In addition to the limitations imposed by the decrease in funding, the needs in the higher
Consolidated Plan priority areas, maintaining and enhancing residential neighborhoods
above all, has become more pressing. In particular, the Newhall Redevelopment Agency
(RDA) project area has continued to deteriorate with an increasing number of code
violations and an increase in the general amount of slum and blighted conditions. Starting
in fiscal year 2007-2008, a redirection of funds from public services to affordable housing
was necessary. To that end, the City funded the employment of a Community Preservation
Officer in an effort to sustain decent affordable housing in the Newhall RDA. That funding
allocation will continue in 2008-2009. The Community Preservation Officer provides code
enforcement activities in the City's Newhall Redevelopment Project Area.
In fiscal year 2008-2009, the City will also continue to fund three (3) other programs in an
effort to increase, improve, and maintain affordable housing: the Residential Rehabilitation
Grant Program, the Property Rehabilitation Grant Program, and the Handyworker Program.
All of these programs target low- and moderate -income homeowners needing larger, more
costly repairs than they can generally afford.
■ Residential Rehabilitation Program - provides grants up to $5,000 per household for
higher cost types of repairs such as heating units and roof replacement which require
the services of licensed tradespersons. To date, a total of thirty-eight (38) housing
units received Residential Rehabilitation grants in fiscal year 2007-2008, and another
forty-five (45) units are slated for improvements in fiscal year 2008-2009.
• The Property Rehabilitation Grant Program - provides grants up to $1,000 per
household for property repairs such as walls, fences and gates, brush clean up, tree
trimmings, and repairs to outbuildings and detached garages. To date, a total of
eight (8) housing units received Property Rehabilitation grants in fiscal year 2007-
2008, and another five (5) units are slated for improvements in fiscal year 2008-
2009.

El O
2008-2009 ANNUAL ACTIONPLAN
2004-2008 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
The Handyworker Program - provides grants up to $2,500 per household and
concentrates on handyman type repairs which can be completed primarily by
Handyworker staff at the Santa Clarita Valley Committee on Aging (Senior Center).
Typical repairs may include, but are not limited to, roofs, windows, floors, walls,
doors, heating, .and air conditioning units, and electrical systems. Safety, disabled
access, and energy -efficiency improvements are also provided as needed. To date, a
total of one hundred (100) households have been assisted in fiscal year 2007-2008 .
by the Handyworker Program and another one hundred (100) households are
anticipated to be provided services in fiscal year 2008-2009.
Supportive Human Services
The third priority in the 2004-2008 Consolidated Plan involves funding supportive human
services in the City of Santa Clarita. To this end, the City has supported services offered by
the Fair Housing Council of the San Fernando Valley, the Santa Clarita Valley Committee on
Aging, and Lutheran Social Services.
The Fair Housing Council of the San Fernando Valley provides a Counseling and Advocacy
program aimed at tenants, landlords, buyers, and sellers. Through the program, tenants,
landlords, buyers, and sellers can receive free counseling and education on fair housing
requirements. The program also provides investigation, mediation, and litigation services
on fair housing complaints. Hundreds of persons have been' assisted with these services
since the inception of the program.
Another program funded with CDBG funds is the Senior Access -Services Program through
the Santa Clarita Valley Committee on Aging (Senior Center) which provides a wide array of
housing related services to thousands of seniors. Program staff conducts comprehensive
housing needs assessments for each participant, provide advocacy, form completion,
referral to other senior service programs, health care, legal, and recreational services.
Lutheran Social Services implements a Creative Homeless Services Program using CDBG
funds which provides a comprehensive package of services for the homeless population.
Services have included case management, housing assistance, transportation, employment
assistance, and referrals to mental and physical health care, substance abuse services, and
legal services.
For fiscal year. 2008-2009, the City of Santa Clarita will implement the following programs
listed in Table 1 on the next page.

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
2008-2009 ANNUAL ACTIONPLAN
2004-2008 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
The City of Santa Clarita annually receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The general purpose of these.
funds is to address the community development and housing needs of low- and moderate -income .
residents of the City..
The goals of the City's programs covered by the City's Consolidated Plan and Annual
Action Plan are to extend and strengthen partnerships among the City's departments
and private sector, including for-profit and non-profit organizations, to enable them to
provide decent housing; to establish and maintain a suitable living environment; and
to expand economic opportunities for all residents, particularly for low- and moderate -
income persons.
ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
The City of Santa Clarita's Annual Action Plan is a multi-purpose document. The Plan is
the official application process for the City to receive yearly entitlement funds. It serves
as a public document that describes and budgets the activities to be implemented in each
fiscal year, and it provides a participatory process through which our citizens are given
an opportunity to determine, give input, and be informed about the projected use of
Community Development Block Grant funds. More importantly, it is the tool that
verifies and assists in the implementation of the goals, objectives, and priorities
outlined in the Consolidated Plan to meet the City's housing and community
development needs.
FISCAL YEAR 2008-2009 ACTION PLAN
In 2004, the City prepared a. Consolidated Plan which covers .the five-year period from 2004
through 2008. This is the fifth and final Annual Action Plan for the current Consolidated
Plan. This Action Plan discusses the projects and programs that the City plans to assist
during the year, in order to address the current Consolidated Plan priorities, and illustrates
how Community Development Block Grant funds will be applied to achieve the priorities
established in the Consolidated Plan.
1. Resources Available for Program Implementation
During fiscal year 2008-2009, the City will focus its resources and efforts on a variety of
activities. Specific funding sources will be utilized based on the opportunities and constraints
of each particular project or program. The City's goal. is to leverage federal and local funds
to maximize the number of households that can be assisted.
The City's fiscal year 2008-2009 funding levels for Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) programs are shown in,Table 2 on the next page. Specific activities proposed for
funding are described in Section 2: Allocation, Priorities, and Geographic Distribution.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds
As an entitlement grantee, the City has been eligible to receive Community Development
Block (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
since fiscal year 1991-1992. This funding source has allowed the City to fund capital
improvement projects and community programs, which assist and predominantly benefit
persons of low- and moderate -income. In fiscal year 2008-2009, the City anticipates
$1,196,631 in total CDBG funds. This amount is comprised of $1,126,631 in fiscal year
2008-2009 CDBG entitlement funds and $70,000 in uncommitted funds carried forward
to fiscal year 2008-2009. The City does not have any income from float -funded
activities, unallocated proceeds from Section 108 loan guarantees, grant funds
returned to the line of credit, nor surplus from,urban renewal settlements. CDBG funds
will be used for public services, affordable housing programs, repayment of three,
Section 108 Loan Guarantees, and administration of the CDBG program. The City is
not currently funding any "urgent need activities."
Leveraging of Other Resources
The City and HUD share an interest in leveraging HUD resources to the maximum extent
feasible in order to deliver high-quality, creative, and efficient housing, economic
development, and neighborhood improvement programs. In fact, HUD regulations require
cities to describe other federal;, state, city or private sources,, which are expected to be
available during the program year. Table 3 on the next page describes each potential source
in fiscal year 2008-2009.that will meet the priority needs and objectives in the City's Fiscal
2004-2008 Consolidated Plan, as well as the activities for which non -HUD resources may be
used and the projected level of funding. These figures represent the best estimate at the
time of publication. In cases where funding for fiscal year 2008-2009 are unknown, funding
levels from fiscal year 2007-2008 are noted.

Rental Assistance Programs
2008-2009-ANATUAL ACTION PLAN
2004-2008 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
Housing resources in the form of rental assistance will be available to low- and moderate -
income residents of Santa Clarita through a variety of sources. Most affordable rental units
for low- and moderate -income persons are available through covenants between various
building owners and the Sate of California or the County of Los Angeles. In fiscal year
2008-2009 there will be 599 rental units in 9 apartment buildings available at reduced rents
to families. These units are affordable at moderate, low, and very low rates through
affordable housing agreements.
Section 8 housing also continues to operate in the City of Santa Clarita and is administrated
through the County of Los Angeles Community Development Commission. As of February
2008, approximately 324 Section 8 vouchers are currently being used within the City of
Santa Clarita and surrounding areas. This information has been provided by the Housing
Authority of the County of Los Angeles.
Low- and moderate -income housing specifically for seniors is also available in and around
the City. Los Angeles County owns and operates a, conventional public housing project
called Orchard Arms, which provides housing for low- and moderate -income seniors and the
disabled. Three large-scale low- and moderate -income senior housing projects completed
through a partnership between the Santa Clarita Valley Committee on Aging and private real
estate developers offer over 600 units at low- and moderate -income rates. In fiscal year
2005-2006 an additional eight (8) units were added when an affordability agreement was
negotiated between the City and the newly -constructed Fountain Glen Seniors building. In
total there are 975 rental units in eight (8) apartment buildings available at reduced rates
for seniors.
Home Purchase Programs
For the last four years of the 2004-2008 Consolidated Plan, the City has operated
FirstHOME, a first-time homebuyer program, using competitive HOME grant funds. Despite
having a very successful program, the City was not chosen for funding in 2008-2009.
Therefore, the FirstHOME Program will not be operated in 2008-2009.
The City continues to be on the list of approved jurisdictions for the Mortgage Credit
Certificate Program, which provides a federal tax credit to reduce the amount of taxes paid,
allowing the homebuyer to qualify for a larger first mortgage while still maintaining
affordability.

2008-2009 ANNUAL ACTIONPLAN
2004-2008 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
All CDBG-funded programs in the fiscal year 2008-2009 Annual Action Plan are. geared
toward assisting low- and moderate -income individuals, families, and households. The four
maps on the following pages show concentrations of low- and moderate -income households,
minority concentrations, and the geographic distribution of CDBG-funded area -wide benefit
capital projects. Santa Clarita is an exception City. The threshold for area -wide benefit
national objective is 29.6% low- and moderate -income households.
Map A - Low- and Moderate -Income Income Areas
Map B - CDBG Geographic Distribution of Funds for Area -Wide Projects
Map C - CDBG Geographic Distribution of Minority Concentrations - Hispanic
Map D - CDBG Geographic Distribution of Minority Concentrations - Asian
Distribution of Services
Distributing services based on the geographic concentrations of low- and moderate -income
households can be an effective way to target those populations. The City has used the high
concentrations of low- and moderate -income households to target the locations of three
Capital projects for which debt service is now being paid. All three of these projects directly
benefit the low- and moderate -income areas in which they are located. In addition, the use
of $106,651 in CDBG entitlement capital funds will be used to pay for one (1) Community
Preservation Officer's salary (formerly Code Enforcement Officer) primarily serving in the
Newhall Redevelopment Agency (RDA) project area. A state designated RDA project area is
automatically, eligible for the expenditure of CBDG funds on an area -wide basis.
All other Public Service and Capital programs and projects will serve residents based on the
limited clientele definition of low- and moderate -income. Family/household size and income
information will be collected to verify eligibility for the services provided.
Minority Concentrations
A minority concentration is defined as a block group which is at or above. the County -wide
average percentage for that particular racial/ethnic group. Santa Clarita has two
racial/ethnic groups, Hispanic and Asian, which fit this criterion. A Hispanic concentration is
defined as any block group with greater than 44.6% Hispanic residents. For Asians, a block
group with greater than 12.2% Asian residents is considered concentrated. This information
can be found in Map C and Map D, respectively.

3. Relation to Strategic Plan Priorities
2008-2009 ANNUAL ACTIONPLAN
2004-2008 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
As reported in the 2007-2008 Annual Action Plan, the City intended to submit a new
Consolidated Plan one year early for the five-year period beginning July 1, 2008. However,
after careful consideration, it has been determined that conducting a thorough and complete
Consolidated Plan process will require additional time. Therefore, the Annual Action Plan for
2008-2009 will be the final Action Plan for the existing Consolidated Plan. A new
Consolidated Plan will be submitted to HUD in the spring of 2009 for the five-year period
beginning July 1, 2009.
The City has also determined that the $10,000 in 2007-2008 funds which were set aside for
the development of a new Con Plan will not be sufficient to cover all of the costs associated
with the accurate completion of this project. Therefore, $10,000 of 2008-2009 City general
funds has been committed in bringing the total committed to the preparation of a new
Consolidated Plan to $20,000.
The Santa Clarita 2004-2008 Consolidated Plan identifies priority needs to be addressed
through CDBG funding. Each of these priorities includes a series of implementing programs
and five-year objectives. To illustrate that the activities planned in the one-year Action Plan
are consistent with this five -Year strategy, Tables 4 and 4A depict the relationship between
planned activities and the 2004-2008 Consolidated Plan priorities. Goal totals in table 4A on
the next page represent goals. beginning fiscal year 2004-2005 through the end of fiscal
year 2008-2009.
It should also be noted that actual accomplishments, total goals, and percentages for the
2007-2008 fiscal year are as of March 2008 and will likely be greater by the end of the fiscal
year. Changes in performance will be reflected in the 2007-2008 fiscal year Consolidated
Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

4. Monitoring
CDBG staff participates in an internal planning process to ensure that activities carried out
by the City comply with HUD regulations and are consistent with the Consolidated Plan and
the Annual Action Plan. All City staff involved in administering CDBG-funded activities are
trained and monitored for compliance with HUD regulations.
The City places strong emphasis in establishing frequent contact with the various
subrecipients that provide CDBG-funded Public Services within the Santa Clarita Valley.
Each subrecipient enters into a City contract which clearly spells out all City and HUD
requirements. Reports are required from each subrecipient quarterly at a minimum and
invoices are not paid without submission of reports. Subrecipients are also subject to at
least one on-site monitoring visit per year, in which source documents and back-up
documents are examined for thoroughness, accuracy and compliance with HUD regulations.
Should any significant problems be discovered, additional technical assistance is offered and
additional monitoring visits are scheduled. This more intensive monitoring is continued until
all problems are resolved to the City's satisfaction.
The City actively seeks to assist our public service agencies in applying for various grant
opportunities, improving service delivery systems; and serving as a resource to them, in
order to foster and develop the partnerships we have established. For CDBG funded
subrecipient contracts, internal auditing, program monitoring, and project reviews are
conducted by City staff to ensure consistency with the City's Housing policies, General Plan,
Zoning Code, and other policy and regulatory documents.

Finally, the City fully complies with the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
regulations through the submittal of all required audits, including the Single Audit. This
audit requires the incorporation of the Federal Financial Assistance Schedule, which
identifies amounts and sources of all Federal funds. This report is reviewed for
completeness, accuracy and compliance with applicable policies and regulations. Any
necessary reconciliation of municipal financial records is undertaken by the City's Finance
Division and auditors, to ensure that the financial information transmitted to HUD is correct
and complete. Any errors or deficiencies in the financial management system are corrected
and resolved by the City's CDBG program staff, Finance Division, and Budget Officer.
S. Homeless and Other Special Needs Strategy
Preventing Homelessness
In fiscal year 2008-2009 the City will use City general funds to support several programs
aimed at assisting different segments of- the population at risk of homelessness. The
Eviction Prevention Program is operated by Lutheran Social Services, a local non-profit
agency. This program will provide case -management, direct cash rent assistance, as well as
rent deposit and first month's rent assistance to residents who are at risk of homelessness
due to eviction proceedings. Case -management and referrals are also provided to reduce
the risk of future evictions.
Seniors are at greater risk for homelessness than the general population. The City will
continue to provide a CDBG grant to the Santa-Clarita Valley Committee on Aging to provide
Senior Access Services. This program assists seniors with all aspects of housing. Each
senior receives a comprehensive assessment to determine housing needs. They are then
provided with a wide array of housing -related services, which help them maintain
independent living in the least restrictive manner possible.
Obtaining and maintaining stable employment is key to preventing homelessness. Through
a Department of Labor (DOL) grant, the City operates a One -Stop Career Center called the
Work Source California Center (WCC). The WCC provides supportive services, pre-
employment services, and case management., Low- and moderate -income clients enrolled
in this program may receive rent assistance and other supportive services while training or
participating in job -search activities.
Through a City general fund grant to Single Mothers Outreach (SMO), the City supports case
management services designed to help female -headed households avoid homelessness
despite minimal financial resources. Services include case management, housing and
roommate referrals, food pantry, household goods and furniture, assistance applying for
public assistance, and cash aid.
Addressing Chronic Homelessness
Lutheran Social Services will also be funded through a CDBG grant to provide a Creative
Homeless Services Program which targets the chronically homeless population. This
program utilizes a comprehensive case management approach to address the issues which
contribute to chronic homelessness. Outreach for the program will be conducted through
23 2008-2009 ACTION PLAN

CALIFORNIA 2004-2008 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
o❑ 0
churches, schools, faith -based organizations and other non -profits. In addition, newspapers
and other media outlets will be utilized to reach the homeless population.
Following enrollment into the Creative Homeless Services (CHS) Program each individual
will be assessed to identify their specific circumstances and needs for services. Employment
history, physical and mental health, history of domestic violence, and substance abuse
issues will all be assessed. A self-sufficiency plan will be developed identifying appropriate
interventions and services with the goal of achieving permanent housing and self-
sufficiency.
Three key components of the CHS Program are counseling, career development services,
and housing. The chronically homeless, who have accepted homelessness as a way of life,
will be provided with intensive counseling to help develop a willingness to change and
accept the services which will allow them to become self-sufficient. Career development
services begin with skills assessment and move through job search skills, personal hygiene
and interpersonal skills. Bus passes and gas vouchers will be given to those who need
them. Lutheran Social Services will work with emergency housing, transitional housing, and
low-income permanent housing sources to provide the most appropriate housing for each
client at each stage of the program.
Transition to Permanent Housing and Independent Living
As noted earlier in this section, SMO will be funded with City general funds in fiscal year
2008-2009 to provide the types of supportive services needed to help families make a
successful transition to permanent housing and independent living. Case management
services will be available as long as needed for single mothers and their families who wish
to be served by SMO.
Lutheran Social Services will be funded with City general funds in fiscal year 2008-2009 to
provide an Eviction Prevention Program. This program provides a case -manager to evaluate
the needs of families facing eviction due to a shortage of funds. Assistance is provided in
the form of one-time rent assistance and through assistance in obtaining housing which
meets the family's needs and is affordable based on the family's income. This assistance in
transitioning to more affordable housing creates a more stable living environment and
reduces dependency on other social services.
Non -Homeless Special Need Populations
There are several populations in the City of Santa Clarita with special needs. These include
the disabled, elderly, severely mentally ill, substance abusers, those with AIDS, and
battered women. The City supports the following activities and programs designed to assist
these groups.
CDBG funds will assist the elderly population in fiscal year 2008-2009 through a grant to the
Santa Clarita Valley Committee on Aging (SCVCOA) for a program called Senior Access
Services. The program provides support to the frail and elderly to prevent premature
institutionalization or homelessness. Each senior receives a comprehensive assessment to
determine the areas and level of need. Advocacy is provided to make sure seniors are able
to access appropriate housing resources. Supportive service staff facilitates the application

variety of supportive services available through the
services include. in-home meals, congregate meals,
programs, and. social programs.
Seniors are also referred to a wide

Through the Handyworker Program, also managed by the SCVCOA, CDBG funds will
continue to assist the elderly and disabled by providing home repairs to keep the senior's
home safe and habitable, as well as wheelchair ramps, grab bars and other assistive
devices. This service allows the elderly to 'gage -in-place" and avoids premature
institutionalization by maintaining their homes in good repair.
The disabled will also be served through a variety of programs designed to provide social
and recreational opportunities. The Special Olympics and the Los Angeles Retarded Citizens
Foundation will be funded with City general funds for athlete transportation and recreational
activities, respectively. Carousel Ranch will also be funded with City general funds to
provide a unique service in which the severely disabled participate in specially designed
horseback riding lessons to improve attention span, behavior, social skills, balance, and
coordination.
6. Meeting Underserved (deeds
In fiscal year 2002-2003, the City of Santa Clarita participated in a year long process with
the Homeless Advisory Task Force (HATF), a local advocacy organization, to identify under-
served needs for the homeless and at -risk -of -homelessness population. The results of this
process were presented to the City Council and the public, and the information continues to
inform decision-making for fiscal year 2008-2009.
7. Fostering and Maintaining Affordable Housing and Removing
Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City has little control over the cost of housing in Santa Clarita, which is the single
biggest barrier to affordable housing. All Southern California communities are
experiencing a severe housing shortage, coupled with a steep increase in housing prices,
which makes it difficult to maintain or increase the supply of affordable housing.
Nonetheless, it is a goal of the City ,of Santa Clarita to assist in the development and
provision of a variety of housing types and sizes for all income levels to meet the needs
of all community residents.
Beginning in fiscal year 2005-2006 and continuing through fiscal year 2008-2009, the
City is pursuing the development of additional affordable rental housing units using
Redevelopment Agency (RDA) set-aside funds. In May 2006 the City chose two
developers to work together with the City to develop affordable units: Southern
California Housing Development Corporation (recently renamed Community Renaissance
- CORE), and The Related Companies (Related). Ideally, this future affordable housing
project will contain units that are affordable to low- and very -low income households. In
fiscal year 2008-2009 the City plans to acquire 4.5 acres of land in the RDA project area
for the development of an 80-90 unit, 100% affordable, mixed-use rental housing
project. It is anticipated that RDA low- and moderate -income housing funds, tax credits,
and possibly MHP funds or HELP funds will be used to finance the project. While actual

CALIFORNIA 2004-2008 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
El 0
construction may not occur until after fiscal year 2008-2009, significant City staff time
will continue to be invested in the development of this project.
City staff is also working with several other affordable housing developers. In 2008-
2009, Meta Housing, a developer of senior housing projects, will begin the entitlement
process for a mixed-use, mixed -income project that will provide 24 affordable senior
apartments inside the RDA project area. That project will be funded with RDA set-aside
funds, state tax credits, Bond funds, as well as local City funds. In addition, the City is
negotiating with several ,other non-profit affordable housing developers on several
projects which will rehabilitate existing multi -family rental projects and convert them to
100% affordable family apartments.
A number of programs which provide, residential rehabilitation services designed to
maintain the supply of affordable housing will be funded by CDBG in fiscal year 2008-
2009. The Handyworker Program and the Residential Rehabilitation Grant Program
target low- and moderate -income home owners and provide repairs to condominiums,
mobile homes, and single-family homes, thus preserving the affordable housing stock.
In addition, the Property Rehabilitation Grant Program (formerly named Neighborhood
Revitalization) will continue to serve low- and moderate -income home owners and
maintain neighborhoods by providing tree trimming, brush removal, and repairs to
fences, walls, and outbuildings. In fiscal year 2008-2009 the Residential Rehabilitation
Grant Program and the Property Rehabilitation Grant Program will continue to be
managed directly by City staff, while the Handyworker program is operated through the
Senior Center. The synergy created by having the same staff handle the Residential
Rehabilitation Grant Program as well as the Property Rehabilitation Grant Program will
result in a more efficient and effective program which will better serve the low- and
moderate -income community.
Manufactured homes represent a large percentage of the City's affordable housing stock.
The following Ordinances and Policies will be in effect in fiscal year 2008-2009 to foster
and maintain this critical resource for affordable housing.
Manufactured Horne Rent Adjustment Ordinance - This City Ordinance protects
manufactured home park residents, from unreasonable rent increases.
Manufactured Home Parks - Change in Use Ordinance - This City ordinance establishes
specific requirements for compensation to mobile home park residents in the event of
mobilehome park closures.
In addition, the City has a number of housing policies (listed below) which encourage the
development of new affordable housing.
General City of Santa Clarita Affordable Housing Policies - Based upon the City's General
Plan goals and organized into four parts/issue areas:
1) Encouragement of affordable housing
2) Maintenance of affordable housing
3) Meeting the needs for affordable housing
4) Provision of equal housing opportunities

Guidelines for Use of Conduit Financing - This policy establishes guidelines to allow for
conduit financing of affordable housing developments.
8. Public Housing
The City does not own or operate any public housing. Orchard Arms, with 182
affordable units, is the only facility owned and operated by the County of Los Angeles
that is within the City limits. Accordingly, the City has not undertaken efforts to
encourage public housing residents to become owners of their public units or developed
any other ownership opportunities for these residents.
The City has assisted and facilitated private developers with the development of housing
and housing improvements on a city-wide basis. Further, the City has and will
implement programs designed to improve and increase the available affordable housing
stock as stated earlier in this narrative.
The housing authority for Santa Clarita is the Los Angeles County Housing Authority and is
not designated as troubled.
9. Evaluate and Reduce Lead -Based Paint Hazard
The City continues to work 'to reduce lead-based paint hazards and will comply with 24 CFR .
Part 35. Due to the mean age of the City's housing, homes containing lead-based paint are
not believed to be a significant problem. However, in the coming year, the City will
continue to provide information and assistance to 'evaluate and reduce lead-based paint
hazards through the following activities:
All qualified applicants for services through the, Handyworker program, the City
Residential Rehabilitation Grant Program, and the Property Rehabilitation Grant
Program, are provided with the HUD pamphlet, "Protect Your Family from Lead in .
Your Home" outlining the dangers of lead-based paint and steps for safe mitigation.
For homes built before 1978 lead-based paint hazard evaluation and mitigation are
included as part of the services provided.
As part of the City's contract with the Fair Housing Council of the San Fernando
Valley, information is provided to landlords, renters, and various property
management agencies regarding the dangers of lead-based paint and appropriate
mitigation strategies.
• The City's Planning Division provides the public with information on lead-based paint
hazards through one-on-one contact with building inspectors, code enforcement
officers, and at the public service counter. The City's Planning Division public service
counter also provides the public with the written materials listed below.

10. Reduce Number of Poverty Level Families
While -the City has no control over the majority of the factors affecting poverty, it may
be able to assist those living below. the poverty line. The City supports other
government, private, and non-profit agencies involved in providing services to low- and
moderate -income residents and coordinates efforts with these groups where possible to
allow for more efficiency.
There are many underlying issues that can affect an individual's ability to achieve self-
sufficiency through employment. Health care and housing are identified in the City's
Consolidated Plan as medium priorities in the area of Supportive Services. Assisting
individuals in obtaining stable housing and improving their physical and mental health
through adequate health care can have a profound effect on their ability to obtain and
retain employment. In fiscal year 2008-2009 the City has allocated significant resources
to address these issues for City residents.
Improved employment opportunities are also important in reducing the number of
people living in poverty. The City addresses this issue in two ways: increasing
resident's employability through training, and increasing the number of higher paying
local jobs. The City operates the Santa Clarita WorkSource Center in conjunction with
Goodwill Southern California and the Employment Development Department. The Center
provides, job search services such as workshops, computer classes, phones, fax, computers
with internet access, job leads, newspapers and a resource library for Job Seekers aged 18
and above. Employers use the Center to recruit and advertise their job openings. Over
6,000 residents will have received services through the WorkSource Center in fiscal year
2007-2008. Another 6,500 to 7,000 are anticipated to receive services through the
WorkSource Center in fiscal year 2008-2009.
The City's Economic Development Division will continue it efforts `to aid in the economic
growth of the City by fostering and encouraging .responsible economic development
opportunities, that result in 1) a jobs/housing balance established through quality
employment opportunities for residents, 2) an economic base through increased sales
tax generation, and 3) economic wealth by attracting external monies to the local
economy. Specifically, four targeted industries have been identified where there is a
foundation of businesses in Santa Clarita currently and opportunities to grow the
industry including biomedical, aerospace, technology, and film/entertainment. These
business clusters offer a wide variety of high -paying high -skilled jobs which can be

CALIFORNIA 2004-2008 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
accessed either through traditional educational routes or through on-the-job training and
apprenticeship programs. In fiscal year 2008-2009 the Economic Development Division
will have a full-time staff of nine (9) and a budget of over $2.4 million dollars.
11. Institutional Structure
The City of Santa Clarita works with.a wide range of public and community social service
agencies to meet and address the various needs of the community. In fiscal year 2008-
2009, City staff will continue to function in a coordinating role between local non-profit
advocacy groups and other County, State, and Federal organizations. Committee
participation includes Los Angeles.County Service Planning Area (SPA) and Los Angeles
Homeless Services Agency (LAHSA).
The City facilitates the services of the Santa Clarita Valley Resource Center (SCVRC), a
local non-profit agency. SCVRC provides training and resources to build the capacity of
other non-profit social service organizations to better serve the needs of the community.
Services to local non -profits include a community facilitator program, workshops, grant
research, and non-profit leader lunches. The City supports the SCVRC by providing
rent-free space in the Santa Clarita Activity Center and administrative support from City
staff.
In addition, the City of Santa Clarita, Community Services Division has twenty (21) full-
time staff and a fiscal year 2008-2009 operating budget of approximately $3.5 million
dollars. The Community Services Division's purpose is to administer and support social
service related programs and funding in response to the needs of the community. The
Community Services Division is dedicated to the development and implementation of
quality, value -based programs that address the needs - of at -risk youth, promote
volunteerism, encourage healthy lifestyles, and celebrate the community's cultural and
family identity. Many of the Community Services Programs serve a significant
percentage of low- and, moderate -income residents. Grants provided to local non -profits
using City general funds by the Community Services Division address teen issues,
delinquency prevention and intervention, job training and employment, cultural arts, and
family violence intervention.
During fiscal year 2005-2006 the City restructured it's departments to bring all housing -
related projects and programs under the purview of the Community Development
Department. This restructure allows for better communication between Departments
and Divisions, and a more coordinated effort to address the housing issues affecting the
low- and moderate -income residents of the City. In fiscal year 2008-2009 the City will
continue to investigate ways to leverage internal resources and obtain federal, state,
and local funding to develop additional affordable housing.
12. Analysis of.Irnpediments (AI) to Fair Housing
The City continues to contract with the Fair Housing Council to actively support and
promote freedom of residents through education, advocacy; and litigation. This helps to
ensure that all persons have the opportunity to secure safe and decent housing that they
desire and can afford, without regard to their race, color, religion, gender, sexual

13. Affirmative Marketing
Section 3 requires that employment and other economic development opportunities
generated by certain HUD financial assistance shall, to the greatest extent feasible, and
consistent with existing federal, State, and local laws and regulations, be directed to
low- and very low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government
assistance for housing, and to business concerns which provide economic opportunities
to low- and very -low income persons.
The City includes a set of forms in all competitive bid packages for federally funded
contracts above $25,000. These forms consist of a listing of federal equal opportunity /
affirmative action requirements, requirements for contracting with. Small and Minority
Firms, Women's Business Enterprise and Labor Surplus Area Firms, a certification
regarding performance of previous contracts or 'subcontracts subject to the equal
opportunity clause and the filing of required reports, and a certification regarding non-
segregated facilities.
14. Citizen Participation
In fiscal year 2006-2007, the City updated its Citizen Participation Plan (attached as
Appendix B) in compliance with 24 CFR 91.105, and follows this Plan in carrying out all
activities associated with its federal entitlement. The City provides for and encourages
citizens to participate in the development of the Five Year Consolidated Plan, as well as
the Annual Action Plan and the proposed use of housing and community development
funds. Residents, public agencies, and other interested parties, including those most
affected, are given the opportunity to receive information, review and submit comments
on proposed activities, including the amount of assistance the City anticipates receiving,
and the range of activities that may be undertaken, including the estimated amount that
will benefit low- and moderate -income persons.
In an effort to fully involve the public in the 2008-2009 Annual Action Plan process, the
City has held a number of meetings as documented in Table 5 on the next page.
Attendees were provided with a power point presentation on Community Development
Block Grants (CDBG), the eligible uses of CDBG funds, and the Department of Housing &

Dear Community Agency Director:
Subject: 2008-2009 Community Development Block Grant Action Plan

dollars per year in CDBG fitnd.s. These funds are used across our community to provide
infrastructure development/improvement as well as services to low- and moderate -income
residents of our community.
We are in the process of developing the CDBG Action Plan for the 2008-2009 fiscal year and
would like to ask for your input on community needs.-
Please
eeds.

City Council approve the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2008-2009 Annual
Action Plan and the funding recorrunendations contained therein, and authorize the City Manager
or designee to execute all required documents, subject to the approval of the City Attorney.

Each year the City receives CDBG Entitlement funds from the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD). The 2008-2009 allocation.is $1,126,631. This amount represents a
decrease of $45,732 from the 2007-2008 funding allocation. HUD requires that CDBG funds be
used primarily to benefit low- and moderate -income individuals in any or all of the following
areas: decent housing; a suitable living environment; and expanded economic opportunities.

Community Development Block Grant
Citizen Participation flan
INTRODUCTION
The City of Santa Clarita is required by law to have a detailed Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) (24 CFR 95.105) and ensure that it is
made available for viewing by the community. This plan must contain the City's policies and
procedures for community involvement in the Consolidated Plan process, as well as the
planned use of CDBG and HOME funds.
Encouraging Community Participation
The law requires that our CDBG Citizen Participation Plan not, only provide for, but also
encourage community participation, while emphasizing the involvement of low- and
moderate -income people, especially those living in low- and moderate -income
neighborhoods. The U.S. Department. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) expects the
City of Santa Clarita to take whatever actions are appropriate to encourage the participation
of minorities, people who do not speak English, and those with disabilities (24 CFR 91.105
(2)(ii).
The Role of Low- and moderate -income People
The law declares that the primary purpose of the programs covered"by the CDBG Citizen
Participation Plan is to improve communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living
environment, and growing economic opportunities - all principally for low- and moderate -
income people (24 CFR 570.2).
The amount of federal CDBG and HOME funds that the City of Santa Clarita receives each
year is based primarily,on the severity of both poverty and substandard housing conditions
within the City. Because of this, it is important that community participation genuinely
involve the low-income residents who experience these conditions. It is imperativethat the
community's involvement take place during all stages of the process. This includes:
1. Identifying needs, and setting priorities among those needs.
2. Deciding how much money should be allocated to each high-priority need.
3. Choosing types of programs to meet the identified high-priority needs, as well as
overseeing the way in which the programs are carried out.

The Various Stages of the Consolidated Plan Process
The policies and procedures in this CDBG Citizen Participation Plan relate to several stages
of action and federally required reports mentioned in law or regulation. In general, these
stages and reports include:
1. Consolidated Plan (CP) - Development of a Proposed and Final Consolidated Plan
covering three to five years. The Consolidated Plan contains a housing and homeless
needs assessment, a housing market analysis, a Strategic Plan and an Annual Action
Plan.
• Annual Action Plan (AAP) - Development of a Proposed and Final Annual
Action Plan covering one program year. The Annual Action Plan is a part of the
Consolidated Plan and reflects the needs identified therein. It contains a
description of the planned use of funds for the upcoming. year, including types of
activities, location, and numbers of persons served.
2. Substantial Amendment (SA) - During the year, it may become necessary to change
the priorities established in the Consolidated Plan, or to change the use of the money
already budgeted in an Annual Action Plan. In that case, a formal Substantial
Amendment will be proposed, considered, and acted upon.
3. Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) - After the
program year is complete, a proposed and final Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report is developed. The Annual Performance Report contains documentation
of the funds spent and the number of people assisted with those funds.
The Program Year
The "program year" chosen by the City of Santa Clarita is July 1 through June 30.

PUBLIC MEETINGS REGARDING CDBG AND HOME FUNDING
Public meetings are required by law in order to convey the City's responses to community
proposals and questions, as well as obtain the communities' views in regards to the use of
funds and the development of standard documents.
The law requires public meetings during least two different stages of the process. They
must include at least one meeting about the community's needs during the development of
the Consolidated Plan or Annual. Action Plan (24 CFR 91.105)(e)(1). More information about
these specific meetings can be found in the sections of this Citizen Participation Plan relating
to each of the "Stages."
Access to Public Meetings
Public meetings will be held only after there has been adequate notice, as described in the
Public Notice part of this CDBG Citizen Participation Plan. This includes either a legal notice
in the legal section of the newspaper, and/or a display advertisement in the non -legal
section of the newspaper. Notices will be at least fourteen (14) days before the public
meeting. Meetings will be held at a time that is convenient to most people who might
benefit from the use of funds, and in a place accessible by bus or otherwise convenient in
access (24 CFR 91.105)(e)(3).
Public Meetings and Populations with Unique Needs
All public meetings will be held at locations accessible to persons with disabilities. Special
provisions will be made for people with disabilities when requests are made at least five
working days before a meeting. Translators will be provided to people who do not speak
English, when requests are made at least five working days before a hearing (24 CFR
91.105(e)(4).
The Conduct of Public Meetings
To ensure that public meetings are beneficial to the community, each resident choosing to
speak will be allowed a minimum of three minutes to make a verbal presentation.
THE STAGES IN THE PROCESS
The law providing the funds covered by this Citizen Participation Plan calls for improved
accountability of jurisdictions to the community. In that spirit, and in compliance with the
terms of the law, the City of Santa Clarita will use the following procedures:
The Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan
The Consolidated Plan is a three to five year document that outlines the needs of the
community as they relate to CDBG and HOME funds. The Annual Action Plan is part of the
Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan is a one-year document that explains how CDBG,
HOME and other related funds will be spent to meet the community needs outlined in the
2008-2009 ACTION PLAN
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA 2 00 7-2 008 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
CALIFORNIA 2004-2008 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
El O
Consolidated Plan. A new Annual Action Plan is developed each year. Both the
Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan follow the same steps in the public
participation process. Each must be submitted to HUD at least 45 days before the start of
the program year (24 CFR 91.115).
Identifying Needs
Due to the diverse needs of low- and moderate -income people, priorities must be set in
order to decide which of the identified needs require more attention and resources than
others. This is the fundamental reason the Consolidated Plan process exists.
The laws and regulations require a public meeting each year, in order to obtain the
communities opinions about needs and what priority those needs should have. In order to
encourage the community's involvement, public meetings will be held in different
neighborhoods to determine the specific needs and priorities identified by low- and
moderate -income people. The public will be provided with an estimate of expected CDBG
and HOME funding for the upcoming year and a description of the range of activities that
can be funded with these resources (24 CFR 91.105)(b)(1). Notice will be made according
to the procedures described in the Public Notice section of this Citizen Participation Plan.
The Proposed Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan
The Proposed Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan will be made available for comment
no earlier than 30 days after the last public meeting, to allow sufficient time for the
comments from the public meetings to be integrated into the Plan. Notice of the availability
of the Proposed Plans will be made according to the procedures described in the Public
Notice section of this Citizen Participation Plan. The community is invited to comment on
the Proposed Plans and their comments are included as part of the Final Consolidated Plan
or Final Annual Action Plan.
The Proposed Plans will be available to the public for at least 30 days prior to adoption by
the Mayor and City Council so that low- and moderate -income people will have a reasonable
opportunity to examine them and submit comments (24 CFR)(b)(4).
The Final Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan
In preparing a Final Consolidated Plan or Final Annual Action Plan, careful consideration will
be given to all comments and views expressed by the community. This is whether the
comments are given as verbal testimony at a public meeting, or submitted in writing during
the review and comment period. The Final Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan will
each have a section that presents a summary of all comments and explanations as to why
any comments were not accepted (24 CFR 91.105).
Technical Assistance
Based on the strategic plan identified in the Consolidated Plan, funds may be used for
projects managed by the City, or managed by designated subrecipients. In some instances
a Request for Proposals may be released for a portion of funds to provide services to low -
and moderate -income residents. When a Request for Proposals is released, City staff will

hold at least one technical assistance meeting to assist potential applicants in completing
their proposals. City staff will also be available by telephone and appointment to provide
technical assistance for the application process (24 CFR 91.105)(i).
Substantial Amendments
Because the. needs of the community are not static, and in order for the City to be
responsive to emerging needs, the Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan may need to be
amended on occasion. The Consolidated Plan regulations consider certain amendments to
be "Substantial Amendments" requiring a public comment period and additional community
participation. The City of Santa Clarita defines Substantial Amendment as:
• Changes in the use of CDBG or HOME funds from one eligible activity to another.
• Budget increases or decreases in excess of 15% of the original plan, or over $25,000.
• Changes in the allocation priorities ora change in the method of distribution of funds.
• Any new activity not previously included in the Annual Action Plan.
• Any change in the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of a program or project that
will result in significant change in services available to the people that the program or
project is intended to serve.
Proposed Substantial Amendment
The public will be informed of a Proposed Substantial Amendment, according to the
procedures described in the Public Notice section of this Citizen Participation Plan. Copies of
the Proposed Substantial Amendment will be made available to the Public, and input will be
received during a.30 -day comment period.
Final Substantial Amendment
In finalizing the Substantial Amendment, the City will consider any written or verbal
comments received during the comment period (24 CFR 91.105)(c)(2).
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
Every year the City of Santa Clarita must send HUD a Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report (CAPER) within 90 days of the close of the program year. In general, the
CAPER must describe how funds were used and the extent to which these funds were used
for activities that benefited low- and moderate -income people.
The CAPER will contain at least as much detail as was required by HUD for Grantee
Performance Reports. The CAPER will have an accounting for each activity in any Action
Plan; until an activity is officially closed out with HUD by the City. The community will be
notified of the release of the Proposed CAPER, using the methods described in the Public
Notice section of this Citizen Participation Plan.
The CAPER is available for community comments for 15 days before it is submitted to HUD.
A summary of all public comments will be included with the CAPER submission to HUD. This
is whether the comments are given as verbal testimony at a public meeting, or submitted in
writing during the review and comment period (24 CFR
91.105)(d)(2).
