PLAN AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) FUNDING ALLOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Community Development
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council approve the Draft 2012-2013 Annual Action Plan (Annual Plan) and the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding recommendations contained therein.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all required documents, subject to
approval of the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita (City) receives CDBG Entitlement funds annually from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 2012-2013 CDBG entitlement
allocation is $1,083,757. This amount represents an increase of $59,994 from the 2011-2012
allocation. HUD requires 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.
As required by HUD, the City conducted a strategic planning process and developed a five-year
Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) for 2009-2013. The Con Plan sets forth priority areas in which
CDBG funds can be expended. The 2009-2013 Con Plan identified affordable housing,
infrastructure, and administration as high priorities; and economic development and supportive
human services as medium priorities. During the 2009-2013 Con Plan period, high priority needs
must be funded, and medium priority needs may be funded.
HUD also requires the development of the Annual Plan which identifies how the City will use its
CDBG entitlement funds to meet the 2009-2013 Con Plan priorities. The Annual Plan is
developed through a needs assessment process, which includes extensive consultation with the
public. This year the needs assessment process included:
• An online Community Needs Assessment Survey that generated 243 responses;
• Two assessment meetings held with nonprofit organizations;
• Internal meetings held with over 300 City employees; and
• A community meeting held for the general public.
The following outreach was conducted announcing opportunities for the public to provide input
on the current needs in the community:
• A press release was issued to KHTS, local radio station;
• An article was placed in The Signal, local_ newspaper;
• Current CDBG grantees were notified of the online survey and encouraged to share the
information with clients; and
• The City's Transit division posted a notice on their webpage, and an email alert went out to
local transit passengers.
In September 2010, as a result of HUD's program monitoring, it was suggested a more enhanced
and objective process be used for the award of CDBG funds. In response to that suggestion, staff
continued to redesign and implement a competitive process for CDBG sub -recipient grants. For
the 2012-2013 funding process, the following took place:
• 90 local -serving nonprofits were notified by mail of the availability of grant funds, and two
technical assistance meetings were held to answer questions and distribute application
packages;
• Twelve CDBG funding requests were submitted from 10 organizations;
• A CDBG Activity and Eligibility form was completed for all funding requests, ensuring that
prior to further consideration and scoring by the evaluation committee, the proposed
program/activity was eligible, met a HUD National Objective, and addressed one of the
medium or high Con Plan priorities;
• The nonprofit grant proposals were evaluated, scored, and ranked by a five -member
intra -departmental committee using an objective, 100 -point scoring system; and
• Two new City -operated activities were proposed and reviewed by staff.
The Annual Plan contains funding recommendations, service goals, and a description of the
programs and activities to be undertaken in the coming year. All recommended activities address
primary objectives, meet a Con Plan priority, and were identified as needs through the annual
needs assessment process.
The total CDBG entitlement funding available is $1,174,002, which includes $90,245 from prior
year savings.
CDBG Program funding allocations must be dedicated in one of the following areas:
2
i Public Services (a maximum 15 percent CDBG funds or $162,564).
There are 11 programs proposed to be funded, of which nine are grants to various nonprofit
community organizations. The remaining two programs are the Youth Sports Program and
Property Rehabilitation Program (City -operated).
• Capital (a minimum of 65 percent of CDBG funds or $704,442).
There are five programs proposed to be funded, of which, two are rehabilitation programs,
including a $200,000 grant to the Senior Center for the Handyworker Program. Funding is also
allocated towards debt, service payments along with funding for one Community Preservation
Officer in a CDBG income qualified area. In addition, as part of the City Council approved
Economic Growth Program in March 2012, $90,000 is proposed to be allocated for the
development of a Business Incubator.
• Administration (a maximum of 20 percent of CDBG funds or $216,751).
There is $214,398 proposed to be allocated to Program Administration, which also includes a
$20,000 Fair Housing contract, a HUD requirement.
The total proposed CDBG Program allocation is $1,171,925, leaving $2,077 in unallocated
CDBG Program funds.

prevention activities for families that have received eviction notices or notices of
termination of utility services will meet the requirements that: (A) the inability of
the family to make the required payments must be the result of a sudden
reduction in income; (B) the assistance must be necessary to avoid eviction of the
family or termination of the services to the family; (C) there must be a reasonable

facilities, or correction programs and institutions) in order to prevent such
discharge from immediately resulting in homelessness for such persons. I further
understand that state and local governments are primarily responsible for the
care of these individuals, and that ESG funds are not to be used to assist such
persons in place of state and local resources.
13. HUD's standards for participation in a local Homeless Management Information
System (HMIS) and the collection and reporting of client -level information.
I further certify that the submission of a completed and approved Consolidated Plan

to be a significant problem. However, the City will continue to provide information
and assistance to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards through the
following actions and activities:
■ As part of the City's contract with the Fair Housing Council of the San

Needs of Public Housin
1. Describe the manner in which the plan of the jurisdiction will help address the needs of
public housing and activities it will undertake during the next year to encourage public
housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in
homeownership.
2. If the public housing agency is designated as "troubled" by HUD or otherwise is
performing poorly, the jurisdiction shall describe the manner in which it will provide
financial or other assistance in improving its operations to remove such designation
durina the next year.
Program Year 4 Action Plan Public Housing Strategy response:
1. The needs of public housing in the City of Santa Clarita are typically met -by the
Housing Authority of Los Angeles County's (HACoLA) part cipation in the
Comprehensive Grant Program (CGP) as outlined rn its Five -Year Public Housing
Agency (PHA) Plan.
The City does not own or operate any publichousing�11�Orchard Arms, with 182
affordable units, is the only facility owned and -per ated by the County of Los Angeles
that is within the City limits. Accordingly the City ha.s not undertaken efforts to
encourage public housing residents to become owners of their public units or
developed any other ownership opportuItie or tMa residents.
2. The Housing Authority of Los Angeles County ha's officially achieved "High Performer"
status under HUD's Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP); therefore,
is not designated as a "troubled" agency. The units are inspected, repaired, and
maintained on a regular basis. Accords g Ito HACoLA, the physical condition of its
public housing stock is considered to be good. It is the goal of HACoLA to maintain
each home, whether the -unit is a single-family residence, or in an apartment
complex. High Perfo mer sta us mallow HACoLA to apply for additional programs
and funding, allowing for an�inoeased level of service for families in Los Angeles
County.
Barriers to AffordableHousin
1. -Describe the actions-tfiiat will takeplace during the next year to remove barriers to
affordable housing.
Year4 Action Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing response:
O.ne�of the lbrgest barriers to affordable housing in the City is the lack of affordable
its. While all segments of the lower-income population need more affordable
housing, the greatest need is for affordable units for families. The City is seeking to
increase the number of affordable housing units for families in several ways. The
following actions will take place during the next year to remove barriers to affordable
housing.
Since 2009, the City had been diligently working toward the future development of
an affordable rental housing project. Between 2009 and 2011 former Redevelopment
Agency Housing Set -Aside funds, Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds,
and CDBG funds were invested in the acquisition of two properties for the future
development of the affordable housing project. CDBG Funds were not allocated in the
Fourth Program Year Action Plan 15 Version 2.0
Santa Clarita
2011-2012 program year. However, activity took place toward the development
effort: The Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) was prepared, and it was
anticipated that the Developer would submit an application for tax credits and HOME
funds in early 2012. Due to the recent dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies, this
project has been delayed. The City is working with the developers toidentify identify other
sources of funding to move the project forward.
Keeping housing affordable by providing owner -occupied minor rehabilitation
services is also an effective way to reduce barriers to affordable housing: A number
of programs which provide minor residential rehabilitation services will bye funded by
CDBG in fiscal year 2012-2013. The Handyworker Program and,, to Residential
Rehabilitation Grant Program target low- and moderate -income homeowners and
provide repairs to condominiums, mobile homes, and single-family home thus
preserving the affordable housing stock.
In addition, the Property Rehabilitation Grant Program will conti5iA to serve low- and
moderate -income homeowners and maintain neighborhoods by providing eligible
�_
exterior property repairs. In fiscal year 2012-2013 the Residential Rehabilitation
Grant Program and the Property Rehabilitation Grant Program will continue to be
managed directly by City staff, while the Hand)rworker program is operated through
a grant to the Santa Clarita Valley Committee on ADM g.
Manufactured homes represent a large percentage of the City's affordable housing
stock. The following Ordinances and Po ci�will beip effect in fiscal year 2012-2013
to foster and maintain this critical resource for affordable housing:
o Manufactured Home Ren AWustment Ordinance - Adopted in 1991, this
Al
City Ordinance protects manufactured home park residents from
unreasonable rent increases andprovides an appeal process.
o
Manufactured Home Parks - Change in Use Ordinance - Adopted in 1991,
this City ordinanc41xe establishes specific requirements for compensation to
mobile home par residents in the event of mobile home park closures.
In addition, the C.ty follows t e Housing Element of the General Plan, which is
comprised of four gen aPaffordable housing areas:
o En o%ragement of affordable housing;
va V
oa,aMainterrancWof affordable housing;
o : MeetinXit e needs for affordable housing; and
o Provisof equal housing opportunities.

targets the chronically homeless population. This program utilizesa co prehensive
case management approach to address the issues which co ributeto. chronic
homelessness. Outreach for the program will be conduct through churches;
schools; faith -based organizations; and other non -profits. Ing-adON dition, newspapers
and other media outlets will be used to reach the homeless population. Following
enrollment into the Creative Homeless Services (CHS)�Pr$og,ram, each individual will
undergo an assessment to identify their specific circum Latices and needs for
services. Employment history; physical and mental hgalth; history of domestic
violence; and substance abuse issues will all be assessed. I self-sufficiency plan will
be developed identifying appropriate interventions and services with the goal of
achieving permanent housing and self-sufficiency. Th.ree�'key components of the CHS
Program are counseling, career development ervices, and housing. The chronically
homeless, who have accepted homel7es nessK,,as a``'way of life, will be provided with
intensive counseling to help developwillingness to change and accept the services
which will allow them to become self =Sufficient Career development services begin
with skills assessment and move through jodNearch skills, personal hygiene, and
interpersonal skills. Bus passes and gasv'vou hers 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 individual clients at.each stage of the program.
N
4. Homeless Prevent'aon The following projects address homelessness prevention:
■ The HousingNAetettion Program (formerly Eviction Prevention) is operated by
Luther n: Social Services, a local non-profit agency. This program will provide
V
case -management, one-time direct cash rent assistance to residents who are
at^ risk f homelessness due to eviction proceedings, or moving assistance to
lower current rent to avoid eviction. Referrals are also provided to reduce the
-,risk of.future evictions.
■Seniorsare at greater risk for homelessness than the general population. The
Citywill continue to provide a CDBG grant to the Santa Clarita Valley
Ccm-mittee on Aging to provide Community Access Services (formerly 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. The City operates the Santa Clarita WorkSource Center in
conjunction with Goodwill Southern California; the Employment Development
Department; College of the Canyons; and the County of Los Angeles
Community and Senior Services. The WorkSource Center provides job search
services such as workshops; computer classes; phones; fax; computers with
Fourth Program Year Action Plan 20 Version 2.0
Santa Clarita
internet access; job leads; newspapers; and a resource library for job seekers
aged 18 and above. Employers use the WorkSource Center to recruit and
advertise job openings as well as for job fairs, bringing together top local
companies and job seekers.
Through a CDBG grant to Single Mothers Outreach (SMO), the City will
support a Technology Center Program designed to develop technology and
computer skills. The Technology Center will help single mothers increase their
knowledge and skills in operating and understanding computer programs.
Services will include home-based computer training and internee access, as
well as instruction on Microsoft Office Suite programs; thus, helping single
mothers make the transition from unemployable to self-sustaining wage-
earner. Full-time employment is crucial for single mother and their children
at imminent risk of becoming homeless.

poverty level families.
Program Year 4 Action Plan Antipoverty
Strategy response:
1. While the City hasono 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
governmentaliprivate and non-profit agencies involved in providing services to low -
and moderate-in'ome residents and coordinates efforts with these groups where
possible to al(owfo�more efficient delivery of services.
Du ling,fiscal year 2Y012-2013, the City will continue to implement its strategy to help
poverzished families achieve economic independence and self-sufficiency. The City's

D: ., o increase employment marketability, household income, and housing
options. The City will allocate over $100,000 of CDBG funds to public service
agencies that offer supportive services in the fight against poverty. Other special
co,_m
nunity benefit needs are also addressed through the Community Services Grant
Program which provides funding to various local agencies.
Improved employment opportunities are important in reducing the number of people
living in poverty. The. City addresses this issue by 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; the Employment Development Department; College of the Canyons; and
the County of Los Angeles Community and Senior Services. The WorkSource Center

Santa Clarita
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 WorkSource Center to recruit
and advertise job openings as well as for job fairs, bringing together top local
companies and job seekers.
In fiscal year 2012-2013, the City's Economic Development Division will continue its
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) eco,no ft is wealth by
attracting external monies to the local economy. Specifically, four ntafgeteindustries
have been identified where there is a foundation of businesses in Santa. Clarita

CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
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 Partici ation
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
imperative that 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, and 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 NOTICE
Items Covered by the Public Notice Requirement
Advanced public notice will be given once a federally required standard document is
available or when a public meeting is scheduled. For example, the Proposed Annual
Action Plan or Consolidated Plan, any proposed Substantial Amendment to the Action Plan
or Consolidated Plan, the Annual Performance Report, and all public meetings related to
the use of CDBG and HOME funds.
In addition, there will be advanced public notice of all public meetings relating to the
funds or the planning process covered by this Citizen Participation Plan.
2
Adequate Public Notice
Adequate public notice will be given with enough lead-time for the community to take
informed action. The amount of assigned lead-time can vary depending on the event but
will be a minimum of 14 days before the event. Public notices will be worded in such a
way that residents will have a clear understanding of the event that is being announced
(24 CFR 91.105 (e)(2). Public notices may take any or all of the forms listed below.
Forms of Public Notice
The community will find public notices printed in the Signal, which is the
adjudicated local newspaper and a newspaper of local circulation. Depending on
the type of event, notice may be in the form of legal notices in the legal section of
the newspaper, or as display advertisements in a non -legal section of the
newspaper.
2. Notice will be given to neighborhood organizations, public housing resident groups
and religious organizations in neighborhoods, and agencies providing services to
low and moderate income residents.
3. Notice will be sent to any person or organization requesting to be. on a related
mailing list.
4. Depending on the type of event, public service announcements and press releases
may be released to local radio and television stations.
COMMUNITY ACCESS TO INFORMATION
As required by law, the City of Santa Clarita will provide the community with reasonable
and timely access to information and records relating to the data or content of any of the
documents in the Consolidated Plan process. This includes the proposed, actual, and past
use of funds covered by this Citizen Participation Plan. Regarding the past use of funds,
the law requires reasonable community access to records about any uses of these funds
during the previous five years (24 CFR 91.105 (h).
In addition, as required by law, the City of Santa Clarita will provide the community with
reasonable and timely information on local meetings that relate to the proposed or actual
use of funds. Examples of such meetings are Public Input meetings, Community Advisory
Committee meetings, Planning Commission meetings, City Council meetings, etc.
Standard Documents
Standard documents include the Proposed and Final Consolidated Plan, the Proposed and
Final Annual Action Plan, Proposed and Final Substantial Amendments, and the Proposed
and Final Annual Performance Report.
Availabilitu of Standard Documents
3
In the spirit of encouraging the community's participation, copies of standard documents
will be provided free of cost within two working days of a request. When requested these
materials will be available in a form accessible to persons with disabilities (24 CFR
91.105(g). Documents will also be available at City Hall or on the City's web site at
www.santa-clarita.com. Supporting documents related to the standard documents will be
available at a nominal cost within two days of request.
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 at 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 are 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 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:
M
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 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/mod 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).
5
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 or a 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
0
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).
Anti -Displacement
The City of Santa Clarita intends to minimize displacement of persons in the
implementation of CDBG and HOME Programs (24 CFR 91.105 (b)(1). If displacement
becomes necessary in order to accomplish program objectives, persons displaced will be
assisted, according to the HUD regulations at 24 CFR 92.353, and HUD Handbook 1378,
Tenant Assistance, Relocation and Real Property Acquisition..
Complaints
Complaints should be submitted in writing to the City of Santa Clarita, Community
Development Department, 23920 Valencia- Blvd., Suite 300, Santa Clarita, CA 91355. A
timely, substantive, written response will be provided to every written complaint within 15
working days (24 CFR 91.105 0).
Changing the Citizen Participation Plan
This Citizen Participation Plan can be changed only after the community has been notified
of an intent to modify it and only after the community has had a reasonable chance to
review and comment on proposed substantial changes to it.

Are you a resident, business -owner, or stakeholder in Santa Clarita? Your opinion matters!
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) are federal funds the City of Santa Clarita (City) receives from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds are intended to benefit lower-income individuals
within our community. In order for the City to receive CDBG funds, a strategic planning document, called the
Consolidated Plan, must be developed and followed. The City's current Consolidated Plan covers a five-year period (2009-
2013) and outlines the priorities for the use of CDBG funds. The City's Consolidated Plan priorities for 2009-2013 are:
Affordable Housing
Infrastructure
Supportive Services
Economic Development
In addition, each year the City conducts a community needs assessment to determine how to use CDBG funds to meet
the Consolidated Plan priorities. Through an annual selection process, the City then redistributes a portion of CDBG
funds to local non-profit organizations that assist lower-income individuals.
Listed under each priority in this survey are just some of the needs related to the priorities mentioned. Needs change over
time so please take a few minutes to share your thoughts on the current needs of the lower-income residents in the
Santa Clarita community. Your opinion is important!
How do you think federal funds should be distributed to assist the lower-income residents in our community! Take the
survey now and let us know!

Agenda Item:
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
AGENDA REPORT
CONSENT CALENDAR City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by: Erin Lay
DATE: May 8, 2012
SUBJECT: SUBMISSION OF THE DRAFT 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION
PLAN AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
FUNDING ALLOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council approve the Draft 2012-2013 Annual Action Plan (AAP) and the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding recommendations contained therein, and authorize
the City Manager or designee to'execute all required documents, subject to the approval of the
City Attorney.
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita (City) annually receives CDBG Entitlement funds from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 2012-2013 CDBG entitlement
allocation is $1,083,757. This amount represents an increase of $59,994 from the 2011-2012
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. In addition, the City's 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan
identifies the areas of affordable housing, infrastructure, and administration as high priorities for
funding. Supportive human services and economic development are identified as medium
priorities for funding.
In order to receive the 2012-2013 CDBG entitlement funds, HUD requires the submission of an
AAP forty five (45) days prior to the start of the City's fiscal year. The AAP identifies how the
City will use the 2012-2013 CDBG entitlement funds to meet the goals and priorities contained
in the 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan. The AAP also contains funding recommendations, a
description of the programs and projects to be undertaken in the coming year, and service goals.
See the attached recommended funding levels for a complete listing of recommendations.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other actions as directed by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2012-2013 CDBG budget will not impact the general fund.

Impediments to Fair Housing Choice and
Fair Housing Plan
Summary of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
Section Il through IV presented the research and public outreach processes as part ofthe City's Al. The
sections examined data from a variety of sources including key informant interviews; public survey;
review and analysis of data on fair housing complaints, legal cases, mortgage lending data, foreclosure
data and subprime lending data; as well as a review of land use and housing policy for the county and
participating jurisdictions.
The following impediments to fair housing choice were identified through this research:
Impediment 1—Limited information about fair housing resources. There is currently a lack
of information available to City residents about fair housing. The City's website does not currently
contain information about housing discrimination, nor does it provide any information about the San
Fernando Valley Fair Housing Council. As such, City residents may simply not be aware of their rights
as tenants and homeowners, and they may not know whom to contact if they experience housing
discrimination.
Impediment 2—Insufficient affordable housing. There are currently unmet affordable housing
needs for the City's lowest income residents. Very few renters are able to afford large rental units in
the City, which can lead to overcrowding, particularly for large families. Additionally, renters have
difficulty entering into the for sale market.
The Los Angeles County Housing Authority currently has one facility in the City and very few Section 8
vouchers are being used in the City, relative to the City's population. As such, this provides very little
affordability relief to residents.
The City has been successful in accumulating affordable and subsidized rental units through other
mechanisms, however. Although not owned or operated by the City, a number of complexes have
affordable units available to residents. There are currently 560 units available in complexes throughout
the City! Additionally, 807 affordable senior housing units are located within the City,
in addition to 150 units of affordable senior housing just outside the City's borders with access to the
City's seniors.
BBC RESEARCH & CONSULTING SECTION V, PAGE 3
The City is not alone in having unmet needs at the lowest end of its income spectrum. However, this
should not deter the City from addressing the gap and continuing in what have already been successful
efforts to continue in its production of affordable units.
Impediment 3— NIMBYism and Opportunistic Residents. An interview with a local affordable
housing developer revealed two forms of NIMBYism within the City: Some residents are concerned that
the development of affordable housing will adversely affect their home values. Other residents, aware of
the difficulty of assembling enough parcels for affordable development, are charging more than market
value for the sale of their property. In both cases, the lack of cooperation of the public in developing
affordable housing makes development difficult.
Recommended Fair Housing Action Plan
Action Item 1—Raise the.visibility of fair housing and the complaint process. The City
currently outsources its fair housing activities to the San Fernando Valley Fair Housing Council.
Although outsourcing minimizes staff time and resources by employing an organization that specializes
in fair housing, City residents may not be aware of the organization when needing a fair housing
resource. Resident surveys indicated that the Los Angeles County Housing Authority or HUD are the
resources many residents would use when experiencing discrimination.
Resident surveys also indicated that the Internet is a widely used and accessible tool to many residents
seeking information. The only information linked from the City's fair housing page is the current Al. The
City needs to provide information and resources for residents about fair housing issues. The City should
consider the following additions to their website:
■ Have resources available in Spanish and English.
■ Have a simple explanation, either in video or text format, as to what qualifies
as housing discrimination.
■ Provide links that residents could click on for more information and with contact
information if residents believe they have been discriminated against. We recommend, at a
minimum, providing links to:
> San Fernando Fair Housing Council: http://www.fairhousingcouncil.org/.
Currently, the website is under construction. However, City staff should urge the
Council to improve their website so that local residents can become familiar with
the organization.

BBC RESEARCH & CONSULTING SECTION V, PAGE 4
HUD's fair housing information page at http://www.hud.gov/offices/fbeo/FHLaws/index.cfm and
HUD's webpage that contains information and a form to file a fair housing complaint
(http://www.hud.gov/complaints/housediscrim.cfm).
Action Item 2. Develop an Affordable Housing Vision Unless a city envisions where
affordable housing could be placed prior to adopting residential zoning districts, optimal locations
for affordable housing development and current zoning may not be in tune. Other communities with
similar zoning mechanisms, such as Ventura, California, had already planned the location and
quantity of its affordable housing prior to adopting its form controls. Thus, zoning was selected with
affordable housing in mind. Unless the City went through a similar process, current zoning may not
be in place and changes to zoning code may not be approved, as approval processes provide an
opportunity for resident opposition.
The City has successfully worked with Los Angeles County to develop the One City One Vision
General Plan, which provides cohesive zoning and land -use designations for both City and County
land currently located within the Santa Clarita area. The City should continue interacting with the
County and other county -wide entities, such as the Los Angeles County Housing Authority, to
develop opportunities for future affordable housing production.
Twenty-five parcels of land were identified as suitable for future residential development as part of
the General Plan's Housing Element. The City and County should focus on these parcels to develop
a strategic affordable housing plan by examining ownership of the parcels and begin a plan to either
acquire land or work with current owners or interested developers in developing affordable housing
and mixed-use developments. Also, the City should establish goals for reaching deeper levels of
affordability (e.g., number of affordable units created each year, proportion of for sale units that are
affordable).
The City should also continue working with its redevelopment agency, the Redevelopment Agency of
the City of Santa Clarita, to implement its 5 -Year Implementation Plan, and 10 -Year Affordable
Housing Plan for the Newhall Project Area.
Because Santa Clarita's planning and zoning mechanisms are relatively new and innovative, with little
precedence in how they foster affordable housing development, a comprehensive affordable housing
vision is imperative. Since each plan mentioned above has a different objective (long-range planning,
downtown redevelopment), it is important to consider them in aggregate with regards to their impact
on the City's affordable housing stock. When considered in aggregate, the City's vision will include a
comprehensive plan to increasing affordable housing by building new or preserving homes in the
older portions of town downtown via revitalization or by capturing affordable units via new growth.
BBC RESEARCH & CONSULTING SECTION V, PAGE 5
Action Item Number 3. Continue to make affordable housing a priority. The City will
have to make a concerted effort to ensure that affordability is injected into its desirable, expensive
housing market. The following outlines a number of potential policies and tools the City could adopt
to help finance affordable housing development, particularly by decreasing land costs for developers.
Many of these suggestions are provided in the City's Housing Element. The policies highlighted here
are those that BBC most strongly supports and believes will have the greatest impact in affordable
housing creation. In general, the City should prioritize which policies they think are feasible, both
economically and politically, and actively employ those tools.
Point system for evaluation projects. Miami, Florida and Lawrence, Kansas, which have both
adopted form -based zoning, have developed a point system for project evaluation. For every criteria
met by a project, additional bonuses are received. Thus, the more aggressive the project is in creating
public benefits, the more economic benefits developers receive to cut costs or increase revenue
potential.
In Lawrence, Kansas, points are earned for the following:
■ Moderately priced dwelling units (i.e., affordable workforce housing)
■ Mix of housing types
■ Proximity to transit and/or a major intersection
■ Redevelopment of an existing center with existing infrastructure
■ Green roof or rooftop garden
■ LEED certified structures
■ Protection of sensitive land features
By meeting some or all of these criteria, developers earn density bonuses, increased building coverage
maximums, increased building height allowanced, reduced parking requirements and increased
impervious surface maximums.
Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance (IZO). Inclusionary zoning is currently employed by a number of
high cost California communities, such as Santa Barbara, San Diego, Sacramento and San Francisco.
Inclusionary zoning could work well in the City, primarily because multifamily products all over the
City are priced high enough to justify buying an affordable unit. Additionally, in many communities,
developers buy out of inclusionary zoning requirements with a cash in lieu payment. Revenue
generated from cash in lieu could be used to aid in land assembly in its downtown redevelopment
project as well as to support affordable housing creation.
Land bank. Land banking is a program whereby land is acquired by a division of government or
nonprofit with the purpose of developing affordable/workforce housing or engaging in revitalization
activities. After a holding period, the land is sold to a nonprofit or private developer, often at a price
lower than market, who agrees to specified land use conditions (e.g., creation of affordable/workforce
housing).
BBC RESEARCH & CONSULTING SECTION V, PAGE 6
Land bank programs can serve dual purposes. While some programs are created solely for the
acquisition of land for future affordable housing development, others have broader long-term
community planning goals. In distressed communities, land banking programs allow cities to acquire
vacant and underperforming parcels to be catalysts for redevelopment, and to benefit from increased
tax revenues from the properties. In communities with rapidly rising land costs, land banking
programs promise a long-term savings to taxpayers; for example, when public buildings need to be
constructed, they can be built at less than the current market cost due to the earlier acquisition of the
property by the land bank.
The City should consider establishing a land bank to which private property may be donated (with
potential tax benefits) and public property may be purchased and held for future affordable housing
development. The City can also purchase appropriate parcels to add to the land bank as they become
available. The City should explore partnerships with the school district, municipalities, utility
companies and other public landowners to donate the land for affordable housing in exchange for a
certain proportion of the units that have first right of refusal to public sector employees (e.g.,
teachers).
The City's Housing Element also suggested graduated density zoning, particularly in redevelopment
areas, as well as small lot subdivisions, which could provide increased affordability.
Action Item 4. Continue to focus on existing units as a source of affordable housing.
The City has historically coupled its affordable housing efforts with its redevelopment efforts. Old
Town Newhall is at the center of the City's redevelopment efforts. The Newhall Project Area offers
270 acres of mixed -used development where the City would most likely approve high density
development. However, because the City has concentrated its redevelopment efforts, an incentive
exists for local business and homeowners to charge higher than market rates for the sale of their
properties because of increased demand. This makes land acquisition difficult and expensive for local
developers. This is not an uncommon challenge for communities in their efforts for redevelopment
and neighborhood revitalization.
To offset these redevelopment challenges, the City should focus on rehabilitating existing affordable
housing and commercial units downtown. This would help decentralize efforts at creating affordable
housing while also maintaining its current affordable units in parts of town that capitalize on urban
amenities, such as public transportation, grocery stores and health services. A variety of tools can be
used to assist in this process, which are included as part of the City's 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan.
The City's homeowner rehabilitation programs can be used to keep existing low-income owners, such
as senior citizens, in their homes. Marketing of these programs to City residents should continue.
The City should continue to investigate rental rehabilitation programs, as well as other programs,
such as tenant based rental assistance (TB RA) programs to provide low-income renters with greater
housing options in Santa Clarita's,existing housing stock.
Action Item 5. Educate HOAs about fair housing laws. The Fair Housing Council currently
does a sufficient job working with HOAs and the real estate community to educate their professionals
on fair housing issues to avoid inadvertent discriminatory activities due to HOA rules and

regulations. However, it is strongly recommended that the Fair Housing Council of the San
Fernando Valley expand its education and outreach efforts to provide training for City Planning
Division staff who review development applications, and City Engineering Division staff who review
Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&R's) submitted as part of the tract map approval
process. With additional training and expertise, City staff could offer counsel to HOAs as they
consider issues of fair housing, such as accessibility.
Action Item 6. Continue to work collaboratively with the County to strategize about
the provision of homeless shelter and services. The City does not currently have a permanent
homeless shelter. However, the City does collaborate with the County to provide a temporary shelter,
which rotates every 3 years between City- and County -owned properties.
It would be ideal to find a permanent location for the City's homeless shelter to alleviate moving
costs, as well as to provide continuity of housing and services for the City's homeless. However,
finding a permanent location for a homeless shelter is costly, and it has been difficult for the City to
find a local non-profit organization to collaborate with to provide a shelter facility.
The City and County have had success in informing service providers of the location of the new
facility each year, as well as continuing to offer services in the location of the previous facility.
Collaboration needs to continue to ensure both housing and services are provided for the City's
homeless and those at -risk of homelessness. Collaboration includes ensuring changes in the facility's
location, as well as services are well marketed and publicized to the City's service providers who have
contact with the City's homeless.
Although the current arrangement has been successful, as a long-term strategy for the City's homeless
population, the City should continue to identify suitable parcels/locations for a pennanent facility, as
well as potential partnerships with local nonprofits to manage the facility.
