Five -Year Strategic Plan iv Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City The HOME program was created by the 1990 National Affordable Housing Act. The HOME program provides federal funds for the development and rehabilitation of affordable rental and ownership housing for low- and moderate -income households, replacing a series of programs previously funded by HUD. The program gives the grantee flexibility to fund a wide range of affordable housing activities through housing partnerships with private industry and non-profit organizations. Purpose of the Consolidated Plan The Consolidated Plan is a planning document that provides an assessment of the City's community development needs, proposes strategies to address those needs, and identifies specific activities to implement those strategies. This Consolidated Plan covers the period beginning July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2015, spanning five program years. The Consolidated Plan also includes a one-year investment plan (Annual Action Plan) that outlines the intended use of resources for Fiscal Year 2011. As required by HUD guidelines, the identification of needs and the adoption of strategies to address those needs must focus primarily on low- and moderate -income individuals and households. The Consolidated Plan must also address "special -needs" identified by the federal government or locally, such as the needs of the elderly, persons with disabilities, large families, single parents, homeless individuals and families, and persons with HIV/AIDS. Consultation and Citizen Participation This plan is the product of comprehensive public outreach, including a community meeting, a community needs survey, and consultation with agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, and/or provision of services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. Priorities The priorities and accomplishment goals outlined in this document are based on assumptions about future funding levels for the Consolidated Plan programs. In all cases, National City has presumed consistent funding of each program at levels outlined below. Because these programs are subject to annual Congressional appropriations as well as potential changes in funding distribution formulas or the number of communities eligible to receive entitlement grants, the accomplishment projections and planned activities are subject to change with availability of funding. Table ES-1: Consolidated Plan Estimated Entitlements CDBG HOME'- TOTAL Estimated Annual Entitlement $1.1 million $640,000 $1.74 million Five -Year Total Estimated Funds Available $5.5 million $3.2 million $8.7 million Five -Year Strategic Plan 2 Attachment#2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City * I Five -Year Strategic Plan il* This document includes Narrative Responses to specific questions/topics to which the City of National City must respond to be compliant with the Consolidated Planning Regulations for various Community Planning and Development (CPD) programs, i.e., the Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership programs. (Throughout this document, italicized text in grey boxes represents the specific questions/topics that must be addressed.) The Consolidated Plan is a planning document that identifies National City's overall housing and community development needs, and outlines a strategy to address those needs. The Consolidated Plan includes the following components: • An assessment of the City's housing and community development needs and market conditions; • A five-year strategy that establishes priorities for addressing the identified housing and community development needs; and • A one-year investment plan that outlines the intended use of federal resources (bound separately). Executive Summary' Program Description The 2010-2015 National City Consolidated Plan satisfies the requirements of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) , and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program was initiated by the Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA) of 1974. The primary objective of the program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. Regulations governing the CDBG program also require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet one of the following three broad national objectives: • Benefit low- and moderate -income persons • Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight • Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency Five -Year Strategic Plan 1 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Priority Needs and Strategies The overall priority for the Consolidated Plan is to use these federal funds to increase self-sufficiency and economic opportunity for low- and moderate -income residents and individuals with special needs so that they can achieve a reasonable standard of living. National objectives and performance outcomes established by HUD are the basis for assigning priorities to needs for which funding may be allocated. The following are the national objectives that form the foundation for allocation of investments in National City: • Enhance suitable living environments, • Create decent and affordable housing, and • Promote economic opportunities, especially for low- and moderate -income households. The City has incorporated outcome measures for activities in accordance with the Federal Register Notice dated March 7, 2006. Projects are required to meet specific performance outcomes that are related to at least one of the following: • Availability/Accessibility • Affordability • Sustainability (Promoting Livable or Viable Communities) In addition to national objectives and performance outcomes, the City must weigh and balance the input from different groups and assign funding priorities that best bridge the gaps in the service delivery system. While other goals the City has set are also important, for the purposes of the Consolidated Plan, only those which are anticipated to be funded with CPD funding programs (CDBG and HOME) during the five-year planning cycle are discussed in detail in this document. The City utilizes other funding sources to meet a variety of other goals set by the City. The City established priorities for allocating CDBG and HOME funds based on a number of criteria, including urgency of needs, cost efficiency, eligibility of activities and programs, availability of other funding sources to address specific needs, funding program limitations, capacity and authority for implementing actions, and consistency with citywide goals, policies, and efforts. Housing Priorities • Conserve and improve affordable housing. • Provide first-time homebuyer opportunities. • Support new affordable housing construction. • Promote equal housing opportunity. • Preserve assisted housing at risk of converting to market rate. • Support housing and services for homeless and persons at -risk of homelessness Community Development Priorities • Provide for new and improve existing community facilities. • Provide for needed infrastructure improvements in low- and moderate - income areas. Five -Year Strategic Plan 3 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City • Provide for needed community and supportive services for low- and moderate -income persons and those with special needs. • Provide for necessary planning activities. Five -Year Strategic Plan 4 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Strategic Plan The National City five-year Consolidated Plan covers Fiscal Years 2010-2015 (July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2015). General Questions 1. Describe the geographic areas of the jurisdiction (including areas of low-income families and/or racial/minority concentration) in which assistance will be directed. 2. Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA) (91.215[a][1)) and the basis for assigning the priority (including the relative priority, where required) given to each category of priority needs (91.215[a][2]). Where appropriate, the jurisdiction should estimate the percentage of funds the jurisdiction plans to dedicate to target areas. 3. Identify any obstacles to meeting underserved needs (91.215[a][3]). Five -Year Strategic Plan General Questions response: 1. Geographic Areas National City encompasses 9.2 square miles, with an estimated population of 56,522 people in 2009 according to the California Department of Finance. The City is bordered by the City of San Diego to the north and east, the city of Chula Vista to the south, the unincorporated areas of Lincoln Acres and Bonita to the south and southeast, and the San Diego Bay to the west. In National City, affordable housing and community development improvements are needed citywide to create a decent living environment for residents and community members. As shown in Table 1 and Figure 1, the majority of the City is comprised of Census tracts and Census block groups that qualify as low- and moderate -income per U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines. Low- and moderate -income areas are those with more than 51 percent of the population earning less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). These areas are eligible for funding through the CPD programs. The geographic distribution of funding for National City's proposed projects is as follows: • Housing assistance programs funded with CDBG and HOME funds are generally available on a city wide basis (subject to program guidelines) to low- and moderate -income residents and persons with special needs. These programs include homeownership assistance, rehabilitation of owner -occupied and rental housing, and affordable rental housing development. • Homeless, special needs, and public service assistance is available to National City residents on a city wide basis, based on income level or special needs status.

Basis for Allocating Investments The priority needs and objectives identified in this Consolidated Plan provide the basis for allocating CDBG and HOME program investments in the City. National Objectives and Performance Outcomes National objectives and performance outcomes established by HUD provide the foundation for assigning priorities to needs for which funding may be allocated. The following are the national objectives that guide the allocation of investments in National City: • Enhance suitable living environments • Create decent and affordable housing • Promote economic opportunities, especially for low- and moderate -income households Projects are required to meet specific performance outcomes that are related to at least one of the following: ▪ Availability/Accessibility • Affordability • Sustainability (Promoting Livable or Viable Communities) Table 2 outlines how the national objectives are related to the performance outcomes used to measure specific annual objectives. Appendix A includes the Specific Annual Objectives Table (using these abbreviations). Table 2: National Objectives and Performance Criteria Performance Criteria National? Objectives Suitable Living Environment Decent Housing Economic Opportunity Availability/Accessibility SL-1 DH-1 EO-1 Affordability SL-2 DH-2 EO-2 Sustainability SL-3 DH-3 EO-3 Priorities Analysis and Outreach Process Relative priorities and target funding proportions were established through the identification of needs obtained through public outreach efforts in compliance with the City's adopted Public Participation Plan. Outreach activities, including a community development needs survey, a community meeting, and six service provider interviews, solicited input from residents, service providers, agencies, and City staff. Based on this comprehensive needs assessment, priority ranking was assigned to each category of housing and community development needs as follows: • High Priority: Activities to address these needs are expected to be funded during the five-year period. Five -Year Strategic Plan 8 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City • Medium Priority: If funds are available, then activities to address these needs may be funded during the five-year period. • Low Priority: The City will not directly fund activities using CDBG and HOME funds to address these needs during the five-year period. However, the City may support applications for public assistance by other entities if such assistance is found to be consistent with this Plan. • No Such Need: The City finds that the activities or these needs are already substantially addressed. The City must weigh and balance the input from different groups and assign funding priorities that best bridge the gaps in the City's service delivery system. It is important to note that priorities listed in this document are specific to this Consolidated Plan and the related amount of funding anticipated from CDBG and HOME sources over the five-year planning period. As such, certain categories that were indicated to have a great need from the public outreach process may receive a medium or low priority in this document because other funding sources are available or simply because other needs have been identified as being more critical and only limited funding is available. The established priorities are: Housing Priorities • Conserve and improve affordable housing. • Provide first-time homebuyer opportunities. • Support new affordable housing construction. • Promote equal housing opportunity. • Preserve assisted housing at risk of converting to market rate. • Support housing and services for homeless and persons at -risk of homelessness. Community Development Priorities • Provide for new and improve existing community facilities. • Provide for needed infrastructure improvements in low- and moderate - income areas. • Provide for needed community and supportive services for moderate and low-income persons and those with special needs. • Provide for necessary planning activities. Activities identified to have a High Priority level will receive funding during this five- year Consolidated Plan cycle. Approximately 15 percent of CDBG funds each year will be used for supportive services for special needs groups, including youth and crime awareness and reduction programs; 90 percent of HOME funds will be used annually for housing assistance programs; 20 percent of CDBG and 10 percent of HOME funds will be used for planning and administration costs annually; 21 percent of CDBG funds will be used annually for repayment of Section 108 loans; and 44 percent of funds will be used for public facilities and infrastructure improvements projects. 3. Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs The primary obstacle to meeting the needs of National City's most underserved groups (primarily low-income families, youth, and the homeless) is the general lack of funding resources available to the public and private agencies providing the Five -Year Strategic Plan 9 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City services to meet those needs. The economic downturn that began in late 2007 has impacted both private foundations and public agencies as donations have declined along with public funding. Continued state budget shortfalls have caused the state of California to reduce funding for local aid to cities, significantly impacting the funding of local programs. In addition, entitlement grants have not kept up with inflation and have been reduced over the years, further decreasing funds available to provide services to meet the City's needs. With inflation, lower incomes, and the growing needs of low-income persons and special needs groups, the reduction in funding resources is a significant obstacle to meeting underserved needs in National City. In some cases, having a portion of the funds available from resources through the City may not make a project or program feasible if insufficient public and private funds, such as Low -Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) or other development financing, are not available to the project or program. The National City 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan focuses on activities to be funded with the two entitlement grants from HUD (CDBG and HOME): • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): The primary objective of this program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate -income. CDBG funds are relatively flexible and can be used for a wide range of activities, including: housing rehabilitation; homeownership assistance; lead -based paint detection and removal; acquisition of land and buildings; construction or rehabilitation of public facilities, including shelters for the homeless and infrastructure; removal of architectural barriers; public services; rehabilitation of commercial or industrial buildings; and loans or grants to businesses. • HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME): The HOME program provides federal funds for the development and rehabilitation of affordable rental and ownership housing for low- and moderate -income households. The program gives local governments the flexibility to fund a wide range of affordable housing activities through housing partnerships with private industry and non-profit organizations. HOME funds can be used for activities that promote affordable rental housing and homeownership by low- and moderate -income households, including: building acquisition; new construction and reconstruction; moderate or substantial rehabilitation; homebuyer assistance; and tenant -based rental assistance. Strict requirements govern the use of HOME funds. Two major requirements are that the funds must be: (1) used for activities that target low- and moderate -income families; and (2) matched 25 percent by non-federal funding sources. Section 92.222 of the HOME regulations provides that HUD may grant a match reduction to jurisdictions if HUD finds that the jurisdiction is in fiscal distress or severe fiscal distress. National City received a 100 percent match reduction in 2008 and 2009. HUD allocates CDBG and HOME funding to eligible jurisdictions on a formula base, using factors such as population, income distribution, and poverty rate. For 2009, the City's Consolidated Plan funding allocations were: • CDBG - $1,099,735 • HOME - $642,423 Five -Year Strategic Plan 10 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Total allocation from the Consolidated Plan programs for the 2010-2015 period is estimated at approximately $1.7 million per year. The City will continue to use CDBG funding to support public service agencies that address the needs of National City's underserved populations, and will continue to seek additional resources to meet priority needs. Managing the Process (91.200 [b]) 1.. Lead Agency. Identify the lead agency or entity for overseeing the development of the plan and the major public and private agencies responsible for administering programs covered by the consolidated plan. 2. Identify the significant aspects of the process by which the plan was developed, and the agencies, groups, organizations, and others who participated in the process. 3. Describe the jurisdiction's consultations with housing, social service agencies, and other entities, including those focusing on services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. Five -Year Strategic Plan Managing the Process response: 1. Lead Agency There are many organizations that play a key role in implementing the City's Five - Year Consolidated Plan. The City of National City Community Development Department (CDD) serves as the lead agency coordinating these organizations and the consolidated planning and application submission process. The CDD oversees the programs funded by the Consolidated Plan and prepares the City's Annual Action Plan (AAP) and Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation and Review (CAPER). The National City Finance Department is responsible for the accounting of the CDBG and HOME funds. 2. Plan Development Process The Consolidated Plan was developed through a participatory process, described in detail in Section 91.200 (b) below. To gauge the nature and extent of needs to help the City prioritize the uses of limited CDBG and HOME funds and develop the Consolidated Plan, the City used a number of research methods: • Analysis of demographic and housing market characteristics and their impacts on housing and community development needs using statistical and empirical data; • Housing and Community Development Needs Survey completed by residents; • A community workshop; and • Interviews with agencies and social service providers. Five -Year Strategic Plan 11 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City 3. Consultations To ensure that the housing and community development needs of special needs groups were addressed as part of the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan, consultation with a variety of service providers, agencies, and community organizations was conducted to gauge the type and extent of needs for families, elderly residents, disabled residents, homeless persons, and persons living with AIDS/HIV. In addition to the input received from service providers at the community meeting, six interviews with service providers were conducted during December 2009 and January 2010. A detailed list of participants and a description of themes and comments received is included in part 91.200(b) below. Citizen Participation (91.200 [b]) 1. Provide a summary of the citizen participation process. 2. Provide a summary of citizen comments or views on the plan. 3. Provide a summary of efforts made to broaden public participation in the development of the consolidated plan, including outreach to minorities and non- English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. 4. Provide a written explanation of comments not accepted and the reasons why these comments were not accepted. Five -Year Strategic Plan Citizen Participation response: 1. Citizen Participation Process The City of National City encourages residents to become involved in the planning and implementation activities of the Consolidated Plan. Involving residents and stakeholders is necessary to accurately reflect the housing and community development needs of the City's residents. As required by HUD, the City follows a Public Participation Plan in the planning and evaluation of programs in the Consolidated Plan. The City updated its Public Participation Plan in 2009/2010 to clarify administrative and noticing procedures. In addition, some of the duties of the Housing and Community Development (HCDC) were folded into the Planning Commission, and the CDBG/HOME oversight responsibilities were removed and transferred to the City Council. These changes were made to reduce redundancy and because of difficulty consistently achieving quorum at HCDC meetings. The Public Participation Plan establishes the City Council as the primary responsible body for CDBG and HOME project and plan review. The intent of the new Public Participation Plan is to receive more direct public feedback and participation in the Annual Action Plan process. The City followed the Public Participation Plan outreach, noticing, and hearing requirements. This Consolidated Plan has been developed through a collaborative Five -Year Strategic Plan 12 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City process involving participation of residents, service providers, and City staff. Three primary methods were used to solicit public, input for the Consolidated Plan: A community meeting was held on December 2, 2009 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center, where participants were introduced to the Consolidated Plan process and asked to discuss community needs. Invitations and flyers were produced in English and Spanish and circulated to community groups and local service providers. A community survey, which assessed housing and community development needs, was distributed to residents and service providers. Surveys were made available at community centers and public counters, distributed by City Staff at the public library, distributed by Sweetwater Union High School employees to students and employees, and distributed at the December 2, 2009 community meeting. In total, 120 surveys were returned from National City residents. These surveys were analyzed and provided input into the development of the needs and objectives in the Consolidated Plan. Service provider interviews were conducted with representatives of six special needs groups. This process was intended to reach agencies that work with lower - income persons and those with special needs to supplement the survey and public meetings associated with the Consolidated Plan preparation. A public presentation will be held before City Council on March 2, 2010, to review and receive comment on the Draft Consolidated Plan. The City will incorporate these comments into the Consolidated Plan and draft the Annual Action Plan. Prior to City Council adoption, there will be a 30-day public review where the document (2010- 2015 Consolidated Plan and 2011 Action Plan) will be available for comment. 2. Comments Received A summary of comments received from the community meeting, community survey, and service provider interviews is included here. Please also see Appendix B for more detailed comments received. Community Outreach Meeting On December 2, 2009, National City held a community meeting to discuss priority housing and community development needs in the City. City staff conducted extensive outreach to reach a broad cross-section of the community and to encourage attendance. In total, 23 residents and representatives of service provider agencies attended. Service providers that attended the Consolidated Plan community outreach meeting included the Institute for Public Strategy, American Lung Association, Community Housing Works, South Bay Community Services, Community Youth Athletic Center, and Environmental Health Coalition. Overall, meeting participants noted increasing needs among National City residents and the Southern California area at large at a time of increased unemployment and financial uncertainty. Increasing needs include general emergency help such as food, Five -Year Strategic Plan 13 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City utilities and home cost assistance, emergency shelter or hotel assistance, and job placement and training. Participants noted that there is a large low-income population in National City, especially compared to other places in San Diego County. Below is a summary of the overall themes addressed during the community meeting. Housing Housing was one of the primary issues discussed by participants at the December 2, 2009 community meeting. Participants were primarily concerned about housing affordability. Specifically, participants voiced a need for affordable housing at 30 percent and 60 percent of area median income (AMI), affordable housing for local police and fire workers, and affordable housing for existing National City residents as well as generations to come. Many participants were concerned about existing blighted/unmaintained rental apartments, and recommended that code enforcement actions or potential City acquisition and rehabilitation be undertaken. Participants were also concerned about potential Section 8 fraud, drugs, and crime in their neighborhoods. Participants noted a need for more homeownership in the City, as well as housing renovation assistance. One participant noted the need for information on shelter and services in the case of a natural or manmade disaster. Staff discussed existing emergency plans. Neighborhoods Participants stated the importance of crime -free, safe neighborhoods and multi- family apartments. Participants commented that code enforcement was necessary, and that code enforcement should be proactive in resolving problems throughout the community. Parks and Recreation/Community Facilities Participants expressed the need for amenities in parks and recreation to increase safety, specifically the need for lighting and adequate facilities. Participants stated that more parks were needed in the City, as well as improvements to existing parks and community/youth centers. A number of participants voiced a need for community centers, especially community centers that cater to youth needs. These youth centers should be near neighborhoods with large youth populations and should provide active and participatory after -school activities. Participants also recommended a general community center in a visible area of the City to assist families in need with information and referrals to emergency services. This center could serve as a youth center as well, providing flexible space for general information, activities, and services. The City provides many of these services at the Martin Luther King Community Center, as well as other locations in the City. Infrastructure Participants opined that alley improvements should be a priority in the Consolidated Plan. Many alleys in the City's neighborhoods are not lighted; lighting and improvements would increase safety in the areas. Some alleys are unpaved and therefore increase the level of dirt and dust in the area. Participants also noted the need for clean water and water conservation. Health Participants noted lead paint in older housing as a concern, as well as general lung health for all residents. Smoke -free housing was recommended, to avoid increases in asthma rates for children, which often affects school attendance and medical needs. Five -Year Strategic Plan 14 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Attendees said that neighbors who smoke impact health of children and adults nearby. Public Services Participants felt that the primary public service need was for programs and activities for youth and children. These programs could include meals, preschool, daycare, and youth activities such as football. Transportation to family resource centers was also noted as a need. Community Survey As part of the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan, National City conducted a Housing and Community Needs Survey to assess community opinions and concerns in seven needs categories: • Community Facilities • Infrastructure Improvements • Special Needs Services • Economic Development • Community Services • Neighborhood Services • Housing These needs categories were further divided into specific topics, such as "community centers" (from the Community Facilities category), "street/alley improvements" (from the Infrastructure category), and "senior services and activities" (from the Community Services category). For each topic, the respondent was asked to indicate unmet needs that warrant expenditure of public funds by checking a "priority need" level from Lowest to Highest need. In tabulating the survey results, "1" is used to denote the lowest need and "4" to denote the highest need. An average score was calculated for each need category; the higher averages (and closer to 4) represent the community's assessment of that category as more in need. Overall, 120 residents of National City responded to the Housing and Community Development Needs Survey. Seven surveys were received from respondents who do not live in the City, for a total of 127 surveys received. The Housing and Community Development Needs Survey questionnaires were: 1) made available at community centers and public counters; 2) distributed by City staff at the public library; 3) distributed by Sweetwater Union High School employees to students and employees; and 4) distributed at the December 2, 2009 community meeting. Approximately 10 percent of participants utilized the Spanish version of the survey. Of participants who indicated their age, the average age of participants was approximately 32. Less than six percent of respondents indicated that they were disabled. Of participants that indicated their tenure, 55 percent rent their homes, while 45 percent own. Appendix B provides a copy of the survey instrument and summary of survey results. The highest rated specific needs for National City residents are presented in Table 3 below.

Due to limitations in funding, not all of these needs may be identified as high priorities, and only 15 percent of CDBG funds may be allocated to community services. Service Provider Interviews As part of the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan, National City conducted interviews with six service providers to receive input from a broad range of special needs groups. This process was intended to reach agencies that work with lower -income and special needs persons to supplement the public meetings and hearings associated with the Consolidated Plan preparation. Service providers and non-profit agencies that participated in the telephone interviews are included in Table 4. In the interviews, service providers all indicated that the needs of their clients, and the number of clients that are in need of services, are significantly increasing during this time of high unemployment, escalating home foreclosures, economic uncertainty, increasing housing costs, and decreased federal funding. High housing costs and unemployment or underemployment are having severe effects on low- income households. This condition is exacerbating existing housing and health problems due to increased levels of stress and needs. Housing services for homeless and special needs groups are suffering, as funding resources and limited capacity hinder service providers' ability to address increasing demand. In addition, the growing number of homeless persons and families is increasing the competition for Five -Year Strategic Plan 16 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City limited services, resulting in longer waiting periods for emergency and temporary shelter resources. The highest needs indicated by service providers were related to increasing affordable and accessible health care, promotion of available services to the community, affordable housing for special needs groups, transportation services, and increased capacity of service facilities and shelters.

A summary of specific comments received from the service provider interviews is included in Appendix B. Homelessness During the interviews, service providers indicated that the needs for emergency and temporary shelter are alarmingly high, with a 25 to 50 percent increase in demand in recent years. With more and more families losing homes due to unemployment or foreclosures, even more people are seeking out already limited housing services and emergency food. The increase in service demand, service providers infer, is largely coming from residents that have not been homeless before and are seeking housing assistance for the first time. Service providers also indicated that since there are limited job opportunities, many people are remaining in transitional programs longer, resulting in longer waiting periods for housing for others in need. This also results in decreased capacity and impacts on services, as there are not enough facilities to house the increasing homeless population. As a significant portion of the homeless population is currently homeless for the first time, there is a lot of confusion about services, programs, and options that are available. Service providers pointed out that better advertising and promotion of existing services and programs are needed to inform the community of options. Service providers also indicated the need for a wider range of homeless resources in one location, facilitated by more partnerships and collaboration to create an effective one -stop shop. In addition, transportation services and programs are greatly needed Five -Year Strategic Plan 17 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City to facilitate the success of homeless programees looking for work, attending training, or going to school. Disabled Persons Service providers indicated that the biggest needs for disabled persons are housing, employment opportunities and training, and transportation. Due to limited financial resources, most disabled persons receiving services do not own their homes but rather rent or live in an assisted living environment. Limited funding for job training programs, coupled with the poor job market, cumulates in a vulnerable economic situation for many disabled persons. In addition, transportation services are a high need among this group, as many disabled persons require transportation assistance to various destinations, including medical appointments, physical therapy, shopping, and training. Overall, service providers indicated the highest level of need is for funding resources to carry out capital projects, such as replacement and remodeling of facilities, transportation services and vehicles, and for operation of programs and services. Health and Medical Services Service providers indicated that the demand for affordable and accessible healthcare, including dental care, has greatly increased with the economic downturn, as more people are uninsured due to job loss. In addition, many medical facilities and doctors no longer subscribe to or accept MediCal or Healthy Families programs, making affordable medical services a new need for low-income residents. With fragile economic conditions, limited employment opportunities, and increased unemployment in the region, low-income persons have confined options in terms of health services and most cannot afford to pay even the minimum sliding scale fee for a medical consultation. In response, service providers have changed how sliding scale fees are determined and collected. Sometimes people are given the opportunity to make monthly or weekly payments for services, and others are given promissory notes. Another effect of the economic crisis noted by service providers is that patients who need to have regular medical care due chronic illnesses are not seeking help due to lack of money to pay for services, so continual care of people is affected. Service providers also pointed out a lack of healthcare options for adult women in the community. Although there are programs to assist children and families with medical care and education, few programs exist for assisting adult women with basic medical care, including gynecological care, as well as general medical and preventative care. Health service providers are in most need of funding resources to purchase new or expand existing facilities to more effectively serve clients. Expanded facilities would provide more office space for social service workers and programs, medical care, and room for health educational programs. Affordable Housing Most of the service providers indicated an overall need for affordable housing, including emergency, temporary, rental, and ownership housing. The need for affordable housing has increased consistently with the rising unemployment rate, as many families cannot afford to pay mortgages and rents. Large families face an additional burden since many rental facilities have occupancy limits, and sometimes forcing large families to split up to qualify to rent. This causes stress on the families Five -Year Strategic Plan 18 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City and increases costs. Therefore, affordable units that accommodate larger families are a significant housing need in the community. Almost all service providers interviewed identified affordable housing as a common need of their program recipients. HIV/AIDS Residents with HIV/AIDS are most impacted through their limited incomes, coupled with need for ongoing medical care, leaving limited resources for decent housing. Service providers identified a large need for financial assistance to rehabilitate housing to accommodate this special needs population. Non -Housing Needs The increased level of stress associated with the loss of homes and jobs has had an impact on families and children in the community. Schools are seeking out more social service assistance from agencies because kids are academically falling farther behind or acting up due to stressors at home. Service providers are also reporting an increase in domestic violence and more family divorces, which they associate with the hard economic times and increased pressures and obstacles low-income families are facing. The demand for affordable youth programs is a primary issue identified by service providers; these programs are needed to keep kids busy after school. Unfortunately, many families in the City cannot afford programs like the Boys and Girls Club or the YMCA, and so expansion of affordable afterschool programs is needed. Service providers also indicated a large demand for infant day care programs (0-2 age group) and a need for facilities to expand such programs in National City. One service provider indicated a 300-person waiting list for its early childhood programs. 3. Efforts to Broaden Public Participation To broaden public participation, the City sent a special invitation to the December 2, 2009 community meeting to agencies that represent a broad spectrum of the community, including minorities and people with disabilities. The City of National City also prepared a flyer advertising the December community meeting. The flyer was available at City Hall, community centers and libraries; provided to service providers for posting at their facilities; and forwarded to neighborhood groups. Spanish translation was provided throughout the meeting. The Community Survey was circulated in English and Spanish. Ten percent of surveys were returned in Spanish. City staff solicited participants for the survey, and greatly increased the number of respondents. Sweetwater High School students also participated in the survey to provide information on community needs from a youth perspective. 4. Comments Not Accepted All comments received were accepted.

Explain the institutional structure through which the jurisdiction will carry out its consolidated plan, including private industry, non-profit organizations, and public institutions. 2. Assess the strengths and gaps in the delivery system. 3. Assess the strengths and gaps in the delivery system for public housing, including a description of the organizational relationship between the jurisdiction and the public housing agency, including the appointing authority for the commissioners or board of housing agency, relationship regarding hiring, contracting and procurement; provision of services funded by the jurisdiction; review by the jurisdiction of proposed capital improvements as well as proposed development, demolition or disposition of public housing developments. Five -Year Strategic Plan Institutional Structure response: 1. Institutional Structure National City strives to foster and maintain relationships with other agencies to establish an institutional structure that maximizes its resources. As such, many organizations play a key role in implementing the City's Consolidated Plan strategy (public agencies, for -profit agencies, non-profit organizations, and private industry). The City's Community Development Department CDD has oversight responsibility for the coordination of these agencies. National City Community Development Department The delivery of CDBG and HOME programs is also administered by the CDD. The CDD is responsible for administration and compliance of programs and grant management. The City's Finance Department is responsible for the accounting and financial processes related to the CDBG and HOME programs. The Finance Department closely oversees CDBG and HOME related financial responsibilities, and has implemented policies and procedures to accurately monitor, transact, and draw down from the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). To enhance the coordination of the CDBG/HOME grant administrative activities, additional restructuring will occur in 2010. Once finalized, the HUD LA Field Office will be provided with a copy of the revised organizational chart. In addition, resources are allocated to training and consulting services that may assist with internal efficiencies. Staff participates in HOME and CDBG Administration Certification, Environmental Review, and IDIS Clean -Up trainings that assist in the development of better planning, record keeping, monitoring and reporting functions. National City Housing Authority The National City Housing Authority administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program for eligible low-income households and seniors who either live or work in National City. The Housing Authority conducts interviews and evaluations and Five -Year Strategic Plan 20 Attachment#2 Draft 1-Y2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City inspects all assisted units to ensure that they are in decent, safe, and sanitary condition at initial lease -up and during the annual recertification process. National City Neighborhood Council Program The Neighborhood Council Program was developed in an effort to improve community communication and to bring community services directly to National City residents. Historically, National City residents indicated that they feel disconnected from City Hall. By holding monthly Neighborhood Council meetings, quarterly senior meetings, and special events, the Neighborhood Council Program has created a path for resident participation and a forum for civic training. Furthermore, this program helps to instill civic pride into National City neighborhoods. Through the Neighborhood Councils, residents plan events to beautify their neighborhoods and seek ways in which they themselves can assist in reducing neighborhood crime. This unique program also helps residents to increase awareness of their surroundings and better identify those areas that are in need of service. Most importantly, the Neighborhood Councils help unify neighborhoods and further enhance the image of National City. County of San Diego and Other Regional Organizations The City collaborates with the County of San Diego, Regional Task Force on the Homeless, Fair Housing Council of San Diego, and other agencies and organizations for the provision of housing and community development programs and activities. Non -Profit Organizations Non-profit organizations play a vital role in implementing the Consolidated Plan. Non-profit organizations form a network of resources that address a wide variety of housing and community development needs. These organizations provide a valuable link between the population in need of assistance and the pool of resources available. The City works with a number of qualified service providers that cater to the needs of low- and moderate -income persons and persons with special needs. Private Sector Private sector participants may include lending institutions and for -profit development entities. Lending institutions may be the source of low-cost loans for affordable housing and rehabilitation projects. Developers are the primary providers of the housing stock and are encouraged to participate in affordable housing in a variety of ways, including through density bonuses and participation in the low- income housing tax credit (LIHTC) program. 2. Strengths and Gaps in Delivery The strength of the delivery system structure rests primarily in the diversity of its participants and the depth and breadth of their experience and the expertise they provide. Five -Year Strategic Plan 21 Attachment rig Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City The housing delivery system in National City provides opportunities for increases to the housing inventory. However, National City is mostly built out and has limited availability of vacant land for new developments. The limited availability of land, coupled with the high costs associated with the development of housing, hinder the increase of new housing in the City. To compensate for this gap in new housing constructions, the City provides affordable housing opportunities to its residents through housing programs such as homeownership and rental assistance, rehabilitation loans, and home -buying assistance. In addition, a number of new housing projects that will include affordable housing have been proposed and are planned for development during the five-year Consolidated Plan process. The City supports the development of new affordable housing through the HOME program and the Redevelopment Agency 20 percent tax -increment financing set aside for affordable housing. A potential gap in any delivery system is the limited availability of funding resources. To provide affordable housing options to its lower income residents, National City fosters coordination and a close working relationship between public and private agencies. 3. Strengths and Gaps in Public Housing Delivery There is no public housing in National City. Monitoring (91.230) 1. Describe the standards and procedures the jurisdiction will use to monitor its housing and community development projects and ensure long-term compliance with program requirements and comprehensive planning requirements. Five -Year Strategic Plan Monitoring response: 1. Monitoring The National City CDD monitors the programmatic, financial, and regulatory performance of all entitlement grant activities carried out in furtherance of the Consolidated Plan and each annual funding plan to ensure long-term compliance with the requirements of the programs involved. The primary objectives of CDD's monitoring procedures are: • Ensure that sub -recipients comply with all pertinent regulations governing their administration. • Ensure that sub -recipients achieve their performance objectives within their program year and budget. • Assess capabilities and/or any potential needs for training or technical assistance these areas. Below is a description of the methodology the CDD has put into place to track housing and community development projects. Five -Year Strategic Plan 22 Attachment#2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Sub -recipient Compliance/Monitoring Plan CDBG and HOME Program Sub -recipient Orientation During the grant application process, sub -recipients are invited to attend an orientation seminar designed to provide technical assistance in developing successful grant applications. In addition, regulatory CDBG and HOME program requirements are discussed. Staff also provides one-on-one consultation with the CDBG and HOME program applicants to assist in application development. Sub -recipient Pre -Award Screening Prior to the funding award, all sub -recipients receive pre -contract review to assess the capacity of the agency's administrative and fiscal management systems to successfully complete the proposed activities. This requirement pertains to all sub - recipients, regardless of whether they are involved in a general competitive application process or in a more selective request for proposal process. Post -Award Monitoring After funding approval, sub -recipients are required to attend a Grant Administration Workshop designed to cover the necessary reporting and reimbursement requirements. Ongoing, informal "desktop" monitoring and technical assistance is provided on a continual basis for all programs, as monthly billings are reviewed and processed. On -site monitoring visits will be conducted on an annual basis, based upon completed risk assessments of the contracted agencies. Additional on -site technical assistance visits will be performed on an as -needed basis. It is in the City's best interest that sub -recipients administer their programs as efficiently as possible. To ensure sub -recipient compliance, the City may assist its partners by contracting with outside professionals/consultants to monitor agencies, or to accompany staff while conducting comprehensive business audits/monitoring. Public facility and infrastructure projects with overlay statutory requirements such as Davis -Bacon, Uniform Relocation Act, Environmental Review, etc. will be implemented, administered, and monitored for compliance with the appropriate statutes and regulations. Projects administered by City departments will be monitored through City auditing procedures. Grantee Compliance/Monitoring Plan Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) Each fiscal year, the City prepares a CAPER to illustrate how the City utilized CDBG, HOME, and other available resources during the previous fiscal year. In addition, the CAPER assesses the actual program accomplishments and compares them to the goals and objectives identified in the City's corresponding Annual Action Plan and Five -Year Consolidated Plan. Quarterly IDIS "Draw downs" The City has an internal program goal of completing, at minimum, four Requests for Reimbursement (draw downs) for CDBG. The "draw downs" for the CDBG Program are electronically submitted via HUD's computer -based Integrated Disbursement and Information system (IDIS). CDBG Program accomplishments are reported to HUD via IDIS on a quarterly basis. Five -Year Strategic Plan 23 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City HOME activities are reported as they are set up (funded) and as they are completed. Packaging a residential development using HOME funds may require multi -year funding and therefore, quarterly draw downs may not always occur. Priority Needs Analysis and Strategies (91.215 [a]) 1. Describe the basis for assigning the priority given to each category of priority needs. 2. Identify any obstacles to meeting underserved needs. Five -Year Strategic Plan Priority Needs Analysis and Strategies response: 1. Basis for Assigning Priority National priorities established by HUD and input from the various sources (residents, community stakeholders, service providers, National City staff, and San Diego County staff) helped the City establish the priority for expending CDBG and HOME funds based on a number of criteria, including: • Urgency of needs • Cost efficiency • Eligibility of activities/programs • Availability of other funding sources to address specific needs • Funding program limitations • Capacity and authority for implementing actions • Consistency with citywide goals, policies, and efforts The City must weigh and balance the input from different groups and assign funding priorities that best bridge the gaps in its service delivery system. Priorities for specific housing and community development issues area listed in later sections of this document. (See also response to Item #2 in the General Questions section.) 2. Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs The biggest obstacle to meeting the needs of the underserved will be a considerable lack of public and private resources to fully address the priorities identified in this Consolidated Plan. Although obstacles to meeting needs may vary based on the need, the most critical obstacle to meeting any of the specific underserved needs is lack of funding. With regard to housing needs, additional obstacles include the lack of available vacant land in the City for new affordable housing, and the existing age and condition of housing in the City. National City's housing stock is among the oldest in San Diego County, and many housing units are in need of repair and rehabilitation. (See also response to Item #3 in the General Questions section.) Five -Year Strategic Plan 24 Attachment it2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Lead -based Paint (91.215 [g]) 1. Estimate the number of housing units that contain lead -based paint hazards, as defined in section 1004 of the Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, and are occupied by extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate -income families. 2. Outline actions proposed or being taken to evaluate and reduce lead -based paint hazards and describe how lead based paint hazards will be integrated into housing policies and programs, and how the plan for the reduction of lead -based` hazards is related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards. Five -Year Strategic Plan' Lead -based Paint response: 1. Lead -based Paint Hazards According to the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 250,000 children aged one to five years in the United States have elevated levels of lead in their blood. High blood lead levels are a concern because they may be harmful to a child's developing organ systems such as the kidneys, brain, liver, and blood -forming tissues, potentially affecting a child's ability to learn. Very high blood lead levels can cause devastating health consequences, including seizures, coma, and even death. Children are much more vulnerable to lead poisoning than adults because they put many kinds of items into their mouths. In addition, their bodies absorb up to 40 percent of the lead with which they come into contact, as opposed to only 10 percent absorbed by adults. Lead can enter the body through breathing or ingestion. In San Diego County, lead paint hazards are monitored by the county's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP). CLPPP is a public health services program that seeks to eliminate childhood lead poisoning by caring for lead -poisoned children and identifying and eliminating sources of lead exposure. Services provided include nursing case management for children as well as education to health care providers, communities, and families. In 2008, CLPPP reported that 41,598 children were screened for high blood lead levels in San Diego County. As a result of that screening, 261 children under age 21 (0.59 percent) were identified to have elevated blood lead levels (EBLL) above 9.5 micrograms per deciliter (pg/dL). The majority of these cases were children under six years of age. CLPPP reported that 1,412 children were tested in National City in 2008. Of these, four percent were identified with EBLL above 4.5 pg/dL, but no children were identified with blood lead levels above 9.5 pg/dL (Table 5). Table 5: 2008 Blood Lead Level among Tested Children in National Cit 0-4.4 p9/dL 4.5-9.4 pg/dL 9.5-14.4 N9/dt- 14,5+ pg/dL Unknown Total Number 1,351 51 6 4 0 1,412 100% Percent 96% 4% 0% 0% 0% Source: San Diego CLPPP, December 30, 2009 Five -Year Strategic Plan 25 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Between 2004 and 2009 (five years), the County of San Diego CLPPP maintained 225 managed cases of people under age 21 with an EBLL of 14.5 pg/dL or greater throughout the county. Of these, 61 percent were less than two years old, 28 percent were between ages three and five, and eleven percent were between ages six and 20. CLPPP surveys possible sources of lead poisoning among managed cases. The most prevalent source is lead paint (27 percent). Home remedies (17 percent), parents' occupations (seven percent), and dust (six percent) are also common sources of lead poisoning. Housing age is the key variable used to estimate the number of housing units with lead -based paint (LBP). Starting in 1978, the federal government prohibited the use of LBP on residential property. National studies estimate that 75 percent of all residential structures built prior to 1970 contain LBP. Over 9,750 housing units in National City were constructed prior to 1970. Assuming approximately 75 percent of these contain LBP, approximately 6,525 housing units have the potential to contain LBP in National City. However, not all units with LBP present a hazard. Properties most at risk include structures with deteriorated paint, chewable paint surfaces, friction paint surfaces, and deteriorated units with leaky roofs and plumbing. The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data developed for HUD by the U.S. Census provides data based on housing age and occupant income. Based on national studies on housing age and LBP hazards, and CHAS data on housing age and occupant income, it can be estimated that, for renters, 51 percent of the 1,274 units affordable to extremely low-income households, 62 percent of the 2,735 units affordable to low-income households, and 54 percent of the 5,225 units affordable to moderate -income households were constructed prior to 1970 and may contain lead - based paint hazards. For owners, 40 percent of the 403 units affordable to low- income households, and 77 percent of the 1,349 units affordable to moderate - income households were constructed prior to 1970 and may contain lead -based paint hazards. In general, through rehabilitation programs and private improvements, some of these units may have already been abated. 2. Actions to Evaluate and Reduce Lead -Based Paint Hazards California has enacted landmark legislation to prevent childhood lead poisoning. The legislation has established the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch (CLPPB) as part of the state government, providing a children's environmental health program with multi -layered solutions to this complex problem. Local branch offices are located throughout the state. In San Diego County, the Department of Environmental Health provides resources, including information on lead in paint and food, lead inspections, and abatement information. The Child Health and Disability Prevention Program provides no -cost child health exams including blood lead testing for children of low-income families. The County of San Diego CLPPP identified National City's primary ZIP code (91510) as a high risk for lead poisoning due to a high percentage of housing built prior to 1970, a large percentage of children who are younger than six years old (when lead poisoning is most prevalent), and a high percentage of children under six living in poverty. Five -Year Strategic Plan 26 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City In response to the lead -based paint legislation, National City designed a lead -based paint hazard program to inform National City residents of lead hazards and instruct households on measures they can do to limit the impacts of lead -based paint. Specifically, National City has received both a Lead Hazard Control Grant (LHCG) and a Healthy Homes Demonstration Grant from HUD for lead sampling/testing, stabilization, and abatement activities. The LHCG and Healthy Homes performance periods have ended; however, the City is currently exploring the possibility of implementing a lead hazard control component to housing rehabilitation programs that will be initiated with HOME funds in the future. The City of National City will design its various housing programs to comply with 24 CFR Part 35. The City is in the process of developing lead guidelines for the housing programs. The guidelines shall include specific requirements for the First -Time Homebuyer Program and the Housing Rehabilitation Programs. Specifically, the City will inform residents applying for loans or grants about the hazards of lead -based paint. The City will not participate in down payment or closing cost assistance on any house containing lead paint unless abated as a condition of the sale and prior to occupancy of the unit. City housing rehabilitation programs will allow for the abatement of lead -based paint as an eligible activity for assistance. Code enforcement and building inspectors will continue to identify lead -based paint hazards as part of their ongoing activities and investigations as possible. Housing Needs (91.205) *Please also refer to the Housing Needs Table in the Needs.xis workbook 1. Describe the estimated housing needsprojected for the next five year period for the following categories of persons; extremely low-income, low-income, moderate -income, and middle income families, renters and owners, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, including persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, single persons, large families, public housing residents, victims of domestic violence, families on the public housing and section 8 tenant -based waiting list, and discuss specific housing problems, including: cost -burden, severe cost- burden, substandard housing, and overcrowding (especially large families). 2. To the extent that any racial or ethnic group hasa disproportionately greater need for any income category in comparison to the needs of that category as a whole, the jurisdiction must complete an assessment of that specific need. For this purpose, disproportionately greater need exists when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group is at least ten percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in the category as a whole. Five -Year Strategic Plan 27 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Five -Year Strategic Plan Housing Needs response: 1. Housing Needs The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) developed by the U.S. Census for HUD provides detailed information on housing needs by income level for different types of households. As defined by CHAS, housing problems include: • Units with physical defects (lacking complete kitchen or bathroom) • Overcrowded conditions (housing units with more than one person per room) • Housing cost burden, including utilities, exceeding 30 percent of gross income • Severe housing cost burden, including utilities, exceeding 50 percent of gross income The types of problems vary according to household income, type, and tenure. Appendix A of this Consolidated Plan includes the Housing Needs Table, which presents data on the number of households with housing assistance needs. Priorities were established for housing needs based in part on this housing needs assessment. Housing Needs by Household Income Household income is an important consideration when evaluating housing and community development needs because limited income typically constrains the ability to afford adequate housing or other services. The 2000 Census reported that the median household income in National City was $29,980, the lowest median household income in San Diego County. Although the median household income in National City is estimated to have increased by 11 percent in the past decade to $33,325, it still has the lowest median household income in the county. Table 6 shows the median household incomes of all the jurisdictions in San Diego County in 2000 and 2009 as estimated by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Income Distribution For planning purposes, the HUD -developed CHAS provides special income data based on the 2000 Census (see Table 7), where household income in a community is calculated in relation to the area median income (AMI). For National City, the CHAS reported the following household income distribution for the year 2000: 22 percent of National City households were extremely low income (0-30 percent of AMI), 20 percent were low income (31-50 percent of AMI), and 23 percent were moderate income (51-80 percent of AMI). The remaining 34 percent of households in National City had incomes above 80 percent of the county median income.

Extremely Low -Income (Households with incomes up to 30 percent of AMI) In National City, 3,272 households (22 percent of all households) earned less than 30 percent of the county's median income. Of these, 83 percent experienced housing problems. Both renter and owner -households experienced similar levels of housing Five -Year Strategic Plan 29 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City problems in this income category (84 percent of renters compared with 75 percent of owner -households). Cost burden was the most common housing problem for all types of households. Overall, 78 percent of extremely low-income households experienced cost burden (spent more than 30 percent of their income on housing). Severe cost burden (spending more than 50 percent of a household's income on housing) was experienced by 59 percent of all extremely low-income households. Certain household types experienced a greater degree of housing problems and cost burden. Small and large households had higher levels of housing problems. Almost all small households and large households experienced housing problems (95 percent and 97 percent, respectively) compared to 83 percent for all extremely low-income households in the City. Both small and large households also experienced higher levels of cost burden (89 percent compared to 78 percent for all extremely low- income households). Severe cost burden was most prevalent among small owner - households (87 percent compared with 59 percent for all extremely low-income households). Low -Income (Households with incomes from 30 to 50 percent of AMI) In National City, 2,996 households (20 percent of all households) earned between 30 and 50 percent of the county median income. Of these, 74 percent experienced housing problems. A significantly higher proportion of renter -households experienced housing problems (79 percent) compared with owner -households (60 percent). Cost burden was the most common housing problem for all types of households. Overall, 57 percent of low-income households experienced cost burden. Severe cost burden was experienced by 13 percent of all low-income households. Certain low-income household types experienced a greater degree of housing problems and cost burden. Among renter -households, small and large households had higher levels of housing problems than others. Seventy-nine percent of small renter -households, almost all large renter -households (96 percent), and 85 percent of large owner -households experienced housing problems compared to 74 percent for all low-income households in the City. Large owner -households experienced the highest levels of cost burden among low-income owners in the City (66 percent). Severe cost burden was also most prevalent among large owner -households (44 percent compared with 13 percent for all low-income households). Moderate -Income (Households with income between 50 and 80 percent of AMI) In National City, 3,544 households (24 percent of all households) earned between 50 and 80 percent of the county median income. Of these, 61 percent experienced housing problems. A higher proportion of owner -households experienced housing problems (61 percent) compared with renter -households (59 percent) in this income category. Overall, 29 percent of moderate -income households experienced cost burden. Severe cost burden was experienced by a small minority of (5 percent) of all moderate -income households. Certain moderate -income household types experienced a greater degree of housing problems and cost burden. Specifically, large households had the highest levels of housing problems. Ninety percent of large renter -households and 86 percent of large owner -households experienced housing problems compared to 61 percent for all moderate -income households. Small and large owner -households experienced the highest levels of cost burden (54 and 41 percent compared to 29 percent for all moderate -income households). Severe cost Five -Year Strategic Plan 30 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City burden was most prevalent among other and small family owner -households (27 percent and 12 percent respectively, compared with five percent for all moderate - income households). Housing Need by Tenure National City has a high number of renters; about two-thirds of all housing units are renter -occupied. Additionally, more than half of the households experience housing problems (60 percent) according to the CHAS data (Table 8). The tenure distribution (owner versus renter) of a community's housing stock influences several aspects of the local housing market. Residential stability is influenced by tenure, with ownership housing much less likely to turn over than rental units. Housing cost burden, while faced by many households regardless of tenure, is typically more prevalent among renters (42 percent of renters compared to 30 percent of owners in National City). The ability or choice to own or rent a home is primarily correlated to household income, composition, and age of the householder. Table 8: National City Tenure Profile Tenure Percent of All Households Percent Low and Moderate Income Housing Problems Owner -Occupied 35% 16% 47% Renter -Occupied 65% 50% 66°/o All Households 1000/0 65% 600/0 Source: HUD CHAS, 2004. As summarized in the Housing Needs by Household Income section above, many housing problems, including cost burden, are experienced differently by households depending on tenure. • A higher proportion of extremely low-income renter -households experienced housing problems (84 percent) compared with owner - households (75 percent). • Severe cost burden was most prevalent among extremely low-income small owner -households (87 percent compared with 59 percent for all extremely low-income households). • A significantly higher proportion of low-income renter -households experienced housing problems (79 percent) compared with low-income owner -households (60 percent). • Seventy-nine percent of small renter -households, almost all (96 percent) of large renter -households, and 85 percent of large owner -households experienced housing problems compared to 74 percent for all low-income households. • Ninety percent of large renter -households and 86 percent of large owner - households experienced housing problems compared to 61 percent for all moderate -income households. • Small and large owner -households experienced the highest levels of cost burden (54 and 41 percent respectively, compared to 29 percent for all moderate -income households). Five -Year Strategic Plan 31 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Housing Needs by Household Type Elderly and Frail Elderly Persons The population over 65 years of age is considered elderly and presents four main concerns: limited income, higher health care costs, access to transportation, and affordable housing. Elderly persons are usually retired and living on a fixed income. With respect to housing, many seniors live alone and have limited discretionary income to support increasing housing costs. These characteristics indicate a need for smaller, lower cost housing with easy access to transit and health care. According to the 2000 Census, National City had nearly 5,728 seniors, representing 11 percent of all residents. According to CHAS data, 18 percent of all households were headed by seniors. Two-thirds (67 percent) of senior households had low and moderate incomes. Approximately 40 percent of all senior households experienced housing problems such as cost burden or substandard housing. Housing problems were significantly more prevalent for elderly renter -households than elderly owner - households (49 percent compared to 30 percent). Frail elderly persons are those with a disability that hinders their mobility or prevents them from caring for themselves. In National City, over half (approximately 51 percent) of the elderly population had one or more disabilities. Of the elderly residents in the City, 29 percent reported a mobility or go -outside -the -home disability, and 10 percent reported a self -care limitation as of the 2000 Census. According to the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, there are 11 residential care facilities for the elderly and three adult day care centers located in National City. The adult day care facilities have a capacity to serve 170 seniors, and the residential care facilities have the capacity to serve 398 seniors. Persons with Disabilities The Americans with Disabilities Act defines a disability as a "physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities." Physical disabilities can hinder one's access to conventional housing units and restrict mobility. Mental and/or developmental activities can also affect a person's ability to maintain a home. Moreover, physical and mental disabilities can restrict one's work and prevent one from earning adequate income. Therefore, persons with disabilities are more vulnerable and are considered a group with special housing needs. According to the 2000 Census, 21 percent of the National City population (11,487 persons) have one or more disabilities. Special housing needs for persons with disabilities fall into two general categories: physical design to address mobility impairments and in -home social, educational, and medical support to address developmental and mental impairments. Table 9 demonstrates the disabilities tallied as of the 2000 Census. Because an individual can report more than one disability, the overall number of disabilities can be higher than the total count of disabled persons. As shown in Table 9, most disabled residents were affected by go -outside - home disabilities (25.3 percent), followed by employment disabilities at 24.5 percent.

According to the CHAS data, approximately 2,491 households in National City had a member with a disability in 2000. Sixty percent of these disabled households earned low or moderate incomes. Furthermore, 73 percent of all disabled households reported having a housing problem (such as cost burden or inadequate housing conditions). Oftentimes, disabilities present an employment obstacle, making it difficult for the disabled to earn adequate incomes. In National City, only about 25 percent of disabled persons were employed, according Census 2000 estimates. Since three- quarters of the disabled population relied on fixed monthly disability incomes that are rarely sufficient to pay market rate rents, supportive housing options, including group housing and shared housing, are important means for meeting the needs of persons with disabilities. Such housing options typically include supportive services onsite to also meet the social needs of persons with disabilities. According to the State Community Care Licensing Division, there are 11 residential care facilities for adults and 11 residential care facilities for the elderly in National City, for a total of 22 residential care facilities with a combined capacity of 460 persons. Physically Disabled A physically disabled person has an illness or impairment that impedes his or her ability to function independently. Physically disabled people have several unique housing needs. First, special construction features tailored to a person's disability may be necessary to facilitate access and use of the property. The location of housing and availability of transportation is also important because disabled people may require access to a variety of social and specialized services. Amendments to the Fair Housing Act, as well as state law, require ground -floor units of new multi- family construction with more than four units to be accessible to persons with disabilities. However, units built prior to 1989 are not required to be accessible to persons with disabilities. Older units, particularly in older multi -family structures, are very expensive to retrofit for disabled occupants because space is rarely available for elevator shafts, ramps, or widened doorways, etc. The site, parking areas, and walkways may also need modifications to install ramps and widen walkways and gates. Developmentally Disabled According to the California State Council of Developmental Disabilities (SCDD), the federal definition of developmental disabilities covers persons whose disability occurs before age 22 and includes a mental or physical impairment or a combination of both. Developmentally disabled persons experience a substantial limitation in three or more of these major life areas: self -care, expressive or receptive language, Five -Year Strategic Plan 33 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City learning, mobility, capacity for independent living, economic self-sufficiency, or self - direction. Per California law, a developmental disability is more narrowly defined as occurring before the age of 18 and includes specific categories of eligible conditions, including mental retardation, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, autism, and "conditions requiring services similar to those required for persons with mental retardation." The result: the individual can be substantially handicapped by the disability. In March 2004, new regulations took effect that define substantial disability as significant functional limitations in three or more of the major life activities contained in the federal definition above. According to the California SCDD, approximately 1.8 percent of the population in California fits the definition of developmentally disabled. Using the California Department of Finance's population estimate for 2009 (56,522), National City had approximately 1,017 developmentally disabled persons (approximately 977 in 2000 per Census estimates). In the San Diego region, supportive services and housing assistance for the developmentally disabled are provided through non-profit organizations, such as hospitals, medical centers, outpatient clinics, mental health centers, counseling centers, treatment centers, socialization centers, residential facilities, crisis centers, and day treatment offices. Many developmentally disabled persons can live and work independently within a conventional housing environment. More severely disabled individuals require a group living environment where supervision is provided. The most severely affected individuals may require an institutional environment where medical attention and physical therapy are provided. Because developmental disabilities exist before adulthood, the first issue in supportive housing for the developmentally disabled is the need to transition from the person's living situation as a child to an appropriate level of independence as an adult. Supportive services and housing assistance for developmentally disabled persons in National City are primarily provided through non-profit organizations, such as the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army. Severely Mentally ID Severe mental illness includes the diagnoses of psychoses (e.g. schizophrenia) and the major schizoaffective disorders (e.g. bipolar, major depression). Chronic mental illness refers to mental illness with duration of at least one year. According to national estimates, approximately one percent of the adult population meets the definition of severe mental illness based on diagnosis, duration, and disability. Applying these figures to National City's estimated adult population in 2008 (44,441 per SANDAG), an estimated 444 severely mentally ill adults reside in the City (379 adults in 2000). There were a total of 2,667 total persons with a mental disability (includes all mental disabilities) as of the 2000 Census. Housing can be an integral part of a system of care for the severely mentally ill because the prime support network and focus of daily living activities is often associated with the residence. The major barrier to stable and decent housing for the seriously mentally ill is the availability of affordable housing. A majority of persons in this population depend solely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Without affordable housing, severely mentally ill persons are at greater risk of becoming homeless or living in unstable or substandard housing situations. Five -Year Strategic Plan 34 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City The San Diego County Adult/Older Adult Mental Health offers a wide variety of treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery services to help people who experience severe mental illness. The Adult Mental Health Administration (AMHS) of the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency is responsible for the oversight, planning, and program development for the public mental health adult system of care, providing services for the severely mentally ill in the county. Services are provided through directly by the county and through contracts with various organizational and private service providers. Severely mentally ill residents of National City are eligible to participate in these county programs. Persons with 1-1IV1AIDS For persons living with HIV/AIDS, access to safe, affordable housing is nearly as important to their general health and well-being as access to quality health care. For many persons with HIV/AIDS, the persistent shortage of stable housing can be the primary barrier to consistent medical care and treatment. Persons with HIV/AIDS also require a broad range of services, including counseling, medical care, in -home care, transportation, food, in addition to stable housing. Today, persons with HIV/AIDS live longer and require longer provision of services and housing. As pointed out in San Diego County HIV/AIDS Housing Plan of 2009, it has been proven that stable housing promotes improved health, sobriety, decreased drug abuse, and a return to paid employment and productive social activities resulting in an improved quality of life. Furthermore, stable housing is shown to be cost-effective for the community in that it helps to decrease risk factors that can lead to HIV and AIDS transmission. The San Diego County Comprehensive 2009 HIV/AIDS Epidemiology Report states that since the county's first AIDS case reported in 1981, a total of 199 AIDS cases have been reported through December 2008 in National City (Table 10). Of the total reported cases in the county, approximately 48 percent were living with AIDS as of December 31, 2007. An additional 51 individuals in National City were estimated to be living with HIV (non -AIDS) in 2008. Although there was an overall decrease in the number of HIV cases between 2005 and 2008, there was a 16 percent increase between 2007 and 2008. lative HIV/AIDS Cases in National City 2005-5008 2005 2006 2007 2008 Percent Change HIV 66 17 44 51 -23% AIDS 178 185 190 199 12% Source: San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency, 2010. Individuals diagnosed with AIDS in San Diego County are most commonly white, male, aged 30 to 39 years, and have male sex partners. Over the course of the epidemic, there have been slow increases in the proportion of diagnoses in blacks, Hispanics, women, people aged 40 or older, and those having used injected drugs. The San Diego County HIV/AIDS Housing Plan, updated in 2009, provides a framework for assessing and planning for the housing and housing -related supportive service needs of persons with HIV/AIDS and their families. The plan surveyed persons living with HIV/AIDS in the San Diego County. Although most respondents were housed, a large majority cited housing affordability and long waitlists for housing assistance as the most common housing issues (76 percent and Five -Year Strategic Plan 35 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City 75 percent, respectively). The most common source of income among the respondents was Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Social Security Insurance (SSI), which results in an income of $1,366 per month. As such, housing options are severely limited for persons with HIV/AIDS, with over half of the population unemployed, unable to work, or full-time students. As a result of the findings, the San Diego County HIV/AIDS Housing Plan indicated that an acute need exists for affordable permanent housing units and housing assistance programs and services that are accessible to persons with HIV/AIDS. Single Parents and Female -Headed Households Single -parents and female -headed households are likely to have greater needs for affordable housing, affordable day care, and access to public transportation. One contributing factor to these needs, especially for female -headed households, is the fact that women continue to earn less on average than men do when working comparable jobs. Single -parent households have unique work constraints because they must take into account proximity and access to day care, school, and other activities along with regular work schedules. In 2000, there were approximately 2,914 single -parent households in National City. Of the single -parent households, 78 percent were headed by women (approximately 15 percent of all households in the City) and 22 percent were headed by males (only four percent of all households in the City). Female single -parent family households comprised a disproportionate number of families living in poverty. According to the 2000 Census, female single -parent family households made up 45 percent of families living below the poverty level compared to 20 percent of all family households in the City. Large Families/Households (Households with five or more members) Large households, defined as those with five or more persons, often have special housing needs due to their need for larger units and related higher housing costs, need for affordable and accessible childcare and recreation services, and the general lack of adequately sized affordable housing. To save for necessities such as food, clothing, and medical care, low- and moderate -income large family households typically reside in smaller units, often resulting in overcrowding. According to CHAS data, 16 percent (3,742) of all households in National City have five or more members and are considered large families. Of those, 44 percent (1,630) owned the home they lived in and 56 percent (2,112) were renters. As displayed in Table 11, 25 percent of all large households had low- and moderate - incomes and experienced a much higher rate (81 percent) of housing problems (including overcrowding, cost burden, or substandard housing conditions) compared to all households (60 percent). Table 11: Profile of Large Households Special Need Group Percent of All Households Percent Low- and Moderate- Income Housing Problems Large Households 25% 65% 81% All Households 100% 65% 60% Source: HUD CHAS, 2004. Five -Year Strategic Plan 36 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City In addition, 90 percent of large family renter -households reported having one or more housing problems, and 42 percent indicated paying more than 30 percent of their income for rent. By comparison, 70 percent of large family owner -households reported having housing problems and 28 percent paid more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Public Housing Residents There is no public housing in National City. Victims of Domestic Violence According to the 2007 San Diego County Report Card on Children and Family, an estimated 18.5 domestic violence reports occurred per 1,000 residents throughout the County. In the south region of the county, which encompasses National City, the rate was 24.4 reports per 1,000 residents, significantly higher than the rest of the County. Although the number of domestic violence reports in considered closer to the actual rate at which violence is occurring than the number of arrests and convictions that are made, the number of reports is still widely considered to be an underestimate, as domestic violence often goes unreported. Many single women and women with children become homeless as a result of domestic violence. As such, many homeless women also tend to need social services and counseling to cope with any resulting psychological trauma and effects of physical abuse. Since domestic violence often goes unreported, accurate analysis of housing needs is difficult to estimate. One information source and indicator of domestic violence and homelessness is the Point -In -Time Survey conducted by the San Diego Regional Task Force on the Homeless (RTFH). The 2009 PIT identified 80 homeless victims of domestic violence in National City (52 sheltered and 28 unsheltered). A primary need for victims of domestic violence is emergency shelter in a safe and confidential location. Subsequently, affordable housing options are important to provide victims with options for housing, so as not to have to return to an unsafe home. In National City, South Bay Community Services -Victorian Heights is an eight -unit transitional housing development that serves homeless women struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues, and domestic violence victims. Families on Public Housing Waiting List There is no public housing in National City. Section 8 and Section 8 Waiting List The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher is a rent subsidy program that helps low- income (up to 50 percent AMI)1 families and seniors pay rents in private units. Voucher recipients pay a minimum of 30 percent of their income toward their contract rent, and the local housing authority pays the difference through federal funds up to the payment standard (fair market rent) established by the housing authority. Any amount in excess of the payment standard is paid by the voucher recipient. The National City Public Housing Authority administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. As of January 2010, 1,305 households in National City were The Housing Choice Voucher Program refers to households with incomes below 50 percent of the AMI as "very low-income." For consistency throughout this Consolidated Plan document, households qualifying for Housing Choice Vouchers (incomes <50 percent AMI) are referred to as low-income households. Five -Year Strategic Plan 37 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City receiving Section 8 rental assistance. Of these participants, 421 households include an elderly member, and 216 households include a disabled member. Over 76 percent of participants are Hispanic, seven percent are African American, and nine percent are Asian. The National City Public Housing Authority has a waiting list for the Section 8 program. As of January 2010, 2,887 households were on the list. Table 12 outlines the characteristics of the households on the list. Given the long waiting list for a Housing Choice Voucher, the extensive need for rental assistance in National City is evident. To reach the households with the most need, at least 75 percent of the families admitted to the Housing Choice Voucher program must have incomes at or below 30 percent of the area median income. Table 12: Household Characteristics of Housing Choice Voucher Waitlist Characteristics Households Percent Waitlist total 2,887 100% Extremely low-income (<=30% AMI) 2,395 83°/o Very low-income (30-50% AMI) 463 16% Low-income (50-800/0 AMI) 29 1% Families with children 1,709 59% Elderly families 666 23°/o Families with disabilities 512 18% Hispanic 1,998 69°/o Non -Hispanic 889 31% American Indian/Alaska Native 18 1% Asian 379 13% Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander 54 2°/o Black/African American 243 8% White 2,193 76°/o ource: National City Public Housing Authority, January 2010 Substance Abuse According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 14 to 16 percent of the adult male population and six percent of the adult female population have drinking problems (moderate to severe abuse). When applying these figures to the National City population, it is estimated that between 2,675 and 3,057 adult males (18 and over) and approximately 1,128 adult women may have issues with alcohol and substance abuse. According the 2009 Point -in -Time Homeless Count for San Diego County, approximately 41 percent of homeless living on the street, 27 percent of homeless in emergency shelters, and 54 percent of people in transitional housing have a substance -abuse disability. People who suffer from substance abuse often require special housing services while they are being treated and are recovering. Foster Children According to the Child and Family Services Review 2008 County Self Assessment Report for the County of San Diego, there were 5,254 children in the foster care system county -wide in a point -in -time survey for 2007. This equates to a 6.5 foster children per 1,000 children in the general population. When applying this proportion figure to National City's youth population (children under 18 years of age) for 2008 (per American Community Survey Data) up to 93 kids can be estimated to be in the foster care system as of the 2000 Census. Five -Year Strategic Plan 38 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Cost Burden State and federal standards specify that households spending more than 30 percent of gross annual income on housing experience a housing cost burden. Households spending more than 50 percent of gross annual income on housing experience severe housing cost burden Housing cost burdens occur when housing costs increase faster than household income. When a household spends more than 30 percent of its income on housing costs, it has less disposable income for other necessities such as health care, food, child care, etc. In the event of unexpected circumstances such as loss of employment and health problems, lower -income households with a burdensome housing cost are more likely to become homeless. Cost burden issues are discussed in earlier portions of this section by household type and tenure. Overcrowding An overcrowded housing unit is defined as a unit with more than one person per room, excluding bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and porches. Severe overcrowding is described as households with more than 1.5 persons per room. Unit overcrowding typically results from the combined effect of low earnings and high housing costs in a community, and reflects the inability of households to buy or rent housing that provides a reasonable level of privacy and space. According to 2000 Census, 5,426 households in National City were overcrowded, with 28 percent of overcrowded units occupied by renters and eight percent by owners. Of the overcrowded owner - households, 752 were severely overcrowded while renter -households were more significantly impacted with 2,611 renters living in severely overcrowded housing conditions (Table 13). Overcrowding is three to four times more prevalent among renter -households. in - Source: 2000 Census. 2. Disproportionate Housing Need by Race/Ethnicity According to HUD, a disproportionate need exists when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are member of a particular racial or ethnic group is at least 10 percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in the category as a whole. Table 14 below indicates the disproportionate needs of National City as calculated by the CHAS. A disproportionate need was concentrated among minority elderly and small and large family renters and owners. Five -Year Strategic Plan 39 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Table 14: National City Disproportionate Needs Income Levels National City Special Needs Groups Extremely Low -Income (0 - 30% AMI) • Hispanic (Elderly Renters, Family Renters/Owners, All Other Renters/Owners) • White non -Hispanic (Elderly Renters) Low -Income (31 - 50% AMI) • Hispanic (Family Renters/Owners, All Other Renters/Owners) • Asian/Pacific Islander (Family Renters) Moderate -Income (51 - 80% AMI) • Hispanic (Elderly Owners, Family Renters, All Other Renters/Owners) ource: CHAS, 2004. Areas of Minority Concentration Areas with concentrations of minority residents may have different needs, particularly in areas where recent immigrants tend to reside. In this Consolidated Plan, a concentration is defined as a Census block group with a proportion of a particular race/ethnic group greater than that of the countywide average for that group. A high concentration is defined as a Census block group with at least twice the county average for that particular group. Nearly all of National City, with the exception of one small area, has a minority concentration (Figure 2). The Hispanic population is the most significant racial/ethnic group (62 percent of the population), followed by the Asian/Pacific Islander population (19 percent). In compliance with fair housing regulations, the City does not craft housing policies and programs based on race. National City provides housing programs to help meet the needs of low- and moderate -income households regardless of race.

Identify the priority housing needs and activities in accordance with the categories specified in the Housing Needs Table (formerly Table 2A). These categories correspond with special tabulations of U.S. census data provided by HUDfor the preparation of the Consolidated Plan. 2. Provide an analysis of how the characteristics of the housing market and the severity of housing problems and needs of each category of residents provided the basis for determining the relative priority of each priority housing need category. 3. Describe the basis for assigning the priority given to each category of priority needs. 4. Identify any obstacles to meeting underserved needs. Five -Year Strategic Plan Priority Housing Needs response: 1. Priority Housing Needs The Housing Needs Table, located in Appendix A, shows the results of the CHAS data, as calculated from the 2000 Census. The overall priority housing need for the Consolidated Plan is to increase the supply and improve the quality of rental and ownership housing. The Consolidated Plan anticipates using CDBG and HOME program funds to support activities that expand and preserve the supply of affordable housing to create housing opportunities for low- and moderate -income households and special needs households. A priority ranking has been assigned to each housing category for purposes of using CDBG and HOME funds, as discussed in the General Questions section. Activities to address high priority needs are expected to be funded during the five-year period. In establishing the five-year housing priorities, the City of National City has considered the following: community input, needs analysis by various public and service agencies, housing needs assessment conducted as part of this Consolidated Plan, categories of low- and moderate -income households most in need of housing assistance, activities that will best meet the needs of those identified households, limited availability of funding, and availability of other funds to address the needs. The City has identified the following housing priorities for the five-year Consolidated Plan: • Conserve and improve affordable housing. • Provide first-time homebuyer opportunities. • Support new affordable housing construction. • Promote equal housing opportunity. • Preserve assisted housing at risk of converting to market rate. • Support housing and services for homeless and persons at -risk of homelessness Five -Year Strategic Plan 42 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City 2. Housing Market Influence on Priorities As shown in the Housing Needs Section, a majority of low- and moderate -income households experience housing problems, including living in units with physical defects and/or overcrowded conditions and housing cost burden. Due to the predominance of older homes and apartments in the City, maintaining the existing housing stock is a primary concern. Overcrowding is also a serious issue. Housing unit overcrowding typically results from the combined effect of low earnings and high housing costs in a community, and reflects the inability of households to buy or rent housing that provides a reasonable level of privacy and space. In the City, eight percent of owner -households and 28 percent of renter -households lived in overcrowded housing. For households looking toward homeownership, the high cost of housing in the City puts homeownership out of reach of many low- and moderate -income households. According to the California Association of Realtor's First-time Buyer Housing Affordability Index, in the third quarter of 2009, 36 percent of households in San Diego County could afford to purchase an entry-level home, compared to 48 percent for all of California and 62 percent for the United States. While the affordability index represents a significant improvement over the last few years due to the downturn of the real estate market, the affordability issue is compounded by the lack of available mortgage financing and increased unemployment. National City's homes are more affordable than those in many other areas of the county; however, National City home prices continue to be higher than national averages. Lower -income households may need assistance with down payments and securing loans due to a higher potential for bad credit. Creating new affordable housing opportunities is highly important to provide needed supply to the City's low-income population. To increase the supply and quality of affordable housing, the City identifies new affordable housing construction and housing rehabilitation as high priorities. To promote homeownership among low- and moderate -income households, the City is also prioritizing assistance to first-time homebuyers. 3. Basis for Assigning Priorities Input from residents, community stakeholders, service providers, and City staff helped to establish and identify the specific housing needs in the community that the allocation of CDBG and HOME funds will support in the next five years. The City must weigh and balance the input from different groups and assign funding priorities that best bridge the gaps in the City's service delivery system. See also responses to #2 of the General Questions Section for more thorough discussion on the basis for assigning priorities. 4. Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs The primary obstacle to meeting the needs of National City's most underserved groups (primarily low-income families, youths, and the homeless) is the general lack of funding resources available to the public and private agencies providing the services to meet those needs. The recent economic downturn has impacted both Five -Year Strategic Plan 43 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City private foundations and public agencies, as donations have declined along with public funding. Continued state budget shortfalls have caused the State of California to reduce funding for local aid to jurisdictions, significantly impacting the funding of local programs. In addition, entitlement grants have not kept up with inflation and have been reduced over the years, further decreasing funds available to provide services and meet the City's needs. With inflation, lower incomes, and the growing needs of low-income persons and special needs groups, the reduction in funding resources is a significant obstacle to meeting underserved needs in National City. With regard to housing needs, additional obstacles include the lack of available vacant land in the City for new affordable housing and the existing age and condition of housing in the City. National City's housing stock is among the oldest in the county, and many housing units are in need of repair and rehabilitation. (See also response to Item #3 in the General Questions section). Housing Market Analysis (91.210) *Please also refer to the Housing Market Analysis Table in the Needs.xls workbook 1. Based on information available to the jurisdiction, describe the significant characteristics of the housing market in terms of supply, demand, condition, and the cost of housing; the housing stock available to serve persons with disabilities; and to serve persons with HIV/AIDS and their families. Data on the housing market should include, to the extent information is available, an estimate of the number of vacant or abandoned buildings and whether units in these buildings are suitable for rehabilitation: 2. Describe the number and targeting (income level and type of household served) of units currently assisted by local, state, or federally funded programs, and an assessment of whether any such units are expected to be lost from the assisted housing inventory for any reason, (i.e. expiration of Section 8 contracts). 3. Indicate how the characteristics of the housing market will influence the use of funds made available for rental assistance, production of new units, rehabilitation of old units, or acquisition of existing units. Please note, the goal of affordable housing is not met by beds in nursing homes. Five -Year Strategic Plan Housing Market Analysis responses: 1. Housing Market Characteristics According to the California Department of Finance, in January 2009, there were 15,752 housing units in National City, of which 8,259 (52 percent) were single-family dwelling units and 7,056 (45 percent) were multi -family units, and 437 (3 percent) were mobile home units. Overall, National City had an average of 3.47 persons per household in 2009. Between 2000 and 2009, the City experienced a one percent increase (231 units) in the housing stock from the Census -reported inventory of 15,521 units in 2000. Five -Year Strategic Plan 44 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Housing Demand As discussed in the Housing Needs Section, a high level of need exists for affordable ownership and rental housing in National City and the Southern California region in general. While the recent economic downturn has drastically reduced new housing starts and the median price of homes has continued to fall in 2009, affordable housing is still out of reach for many unless they assume a housing cost burden. The State of California determines each region's "fair share" of statewide forecasted growth. According to the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) developed by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), National City has a housing construction need of 319 housing units for the 2005-2010 planning period as follows: • 18 units for households with incomes up to 50 percent AMI • 39 units for households with incomes between 50 and 80 percent AMI • 60 units for households with incomes between 81 and 120 percent AMI • 202 units for households with incomes above 120 percent AMI SANDAG has not yet established a RHNA for the upcoming Housing Element cycle for the San Diego region. Housing Conditions The age of housing is commonly used by state and federal agencies as a factor in estimating rehabilitation needs. Typically, most homes begin to require major repairs or have significant rehabilitation needs at 30 to 40 years of age. If not properly and regularly maintained, housing can deteriorate and discourage reinvestment, depress neighboring property values, and eventually affect the quality of life in a neighborhood. On average, National City's housing stock is older compared to the regional housing stock. The City incorporated in 1887, and the majority of housing (approximately 84 percent) was built more than 30 years ago. Only 58 percent of housing in the County at large is more than 30 years old. The median year of housing built in National City is 1964, significantly lower than that of the county (Table 15). Table 15: Age of Housing Stock Total Housing Units Median Year Built % Built Prior to 1979 % Built Prior to 1969 National City 15,521 1964 84% 62% San Diego County 1,040,149 1975 58% 34% Source: Census 2000, CA Department of Finance 2009 Note: Percent Built Prior to 1979 is cumulative (inclusive of the Percent Built Prior to 1969). Substandard Housing Substandard housing issues can include structural hazards, poor construction, faulty wiring or plumbing, fire hazards, and inadequate sanitation or facilities for living. The 2000 Census reported on substandard housing in National City, recording 201 units with inadequate plumbing and 136 units without a complete kitchen. The City rigorously pursues code enforcement and housing rehabilitation programs to improve and maintain the housing stock. Five -Year Strategic Plan 45 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Housing Costs Housing costs are indicative of housing accessibility for all economic segments of the community. Rental Housing A point -in -time review of housing units for rent in National City was conducted in January 2010. At that time, rents in National City ranged from $650 for a studio apartment to $1,900 for a four -bedroom unit (Table 16). Table 16: Average Housing Rental Rates Unit Size Average Rent Studio $700 1-Bedroom $807 2-Bedroom $1,108 3-Bedroom $1,720 4-Bedroom $1,900 Source: Sandiego.craigslist.ory, January 18, 2010 Ownership Housing National City, like the country at large, has experienced a steep decline in home prices in recent years. Prior to this point, however, home prices had escalated at an extremely fast pace. In 2008, the median sales price for homes in National City was $225,000, a decrease of over 43 percent from the previous year (Table 17). Housing prices in National City are generally lower than the County at large, where the median home price was $359,000 in 2008.

Home prices have continued to decline in 2009 and into 2010. As of November 2009, the median home sale price in National City was $188,500 (compared to $325,000 in the County at large). Foreclosures The substantial decreases in median home prices in National City stem from the ongoing crisis in the mortgage lending industry. RealtyTrac, a real estate website, lists 662 homes in National City in the foreclosure process as of January 2010, including 173 in the pre -foreclosure processes, 179 auction sales, and 310 bank - owned homes. Foreclosures also affect renters; properties being foreclosed include multi -family rental buildings and single-family homes that are currently rented by tenants, as well as homes that are owner occupied. When rental properties are foreclosed, renters may be forced to move with little notification and have limited options for affordable housing. Five -Year Strategic Plan 46 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Housing for Persons with Disabilities A safe affordable place to rent or own is essential to achieving independence and enables people with disabilities to be fully integrated participants in the community. However, many persons with disabilities live on fixed incomes and compete with other special needs groups for the limited affordable, decent housing. Some persons with disabilities require specialized care and supervision. Licensed community care facilities offer housing and specialized services for children and adults with disabilities. Approximately 22 facilities are licensed to operate in National City, with a capacity to serve 460 persons (Table 18). Many of these facilities provide housing and services to persons with physical disabilities, while some provide residential care to those with mental or developmental disabilities. Table 18: Licensed Community Care Facilities Type of Facility Facilities Capacity Adult Residential Care 11 62 Elderly Residential Care 11 398 Total 22 460 Notes: 1. The specialized care columns for the type of disability are not mutually exclusive. 2. Adult residential facilities provide care for adults with various disabilities or disorders. 3. Elderly residential facilities provide care for persons age 60 and above. The residents in these facilities require varying levels of personal care and protective supervision. Source: California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, 2010 Housing for Persons with HIV/AIDS In San Diego County, funding for emergency, transitional and permanent housing assistance for individuals who are HIV positive or who have AIDS is provided by the federal Housing for Persons with AIDS program (HOPWA). HOPWA is a HUD -funded housing program to address the specific needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families. The City of San Diego, as the largest jurisdiction in the County, is the recipient of HOPWA funds on behalf of the entire County. The County of San Diego Department of Housing and Community Development is contracted by the City to administer the HOPWA program. The San Diego County HIV/AIDS Housing Plan Update 2009 outlines the critical issues and needs associated with this special needs group. According to the report, housing is the most prevalent need among people living with HIV/AIDS. Many people living with HIV/AIDS, at some point during their illness, find themselves in need of housing assistance and support services. Research has shown that stable housing promotes improved health, sobriety or decreased use of alcohol and illegal drugs, and, for some, a return to paid employment and productive social activities. The City of San Diego receives approximately $2.5 million annually in HOPWA funding. In 2008, AIDS providers funded with HOPWA in San Diego County included: • Being Alive • KARIBU - Center for Social Support and Education • Community Connection Resource Center Five -Year Strategic Plan 47 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City • Community Housing Works • County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency • County of San Diego Housing and Community Development • Fraternity House • South Bay Community Services • St. Vincent de Paul Village • Stepping Stone • Townspeople HOPWA formula and competitive grantees have the flexibility to provide a range of housing assistance, including: • Housing information services and resource identification • Project- or tenant -based rental assistance • Short-term rent, mortgage, and utility payments to prevent homelessness • Housing development • Housing acquisition, rehabilitation or leasing • Support services • Administrative costs In 2009, there were 776 housing units reserved to serve the HIV/AIDS population in San Diego County (Table 19).

The California Department of Finance estimates that the overall vacancy rate in National City was 2.62 percent in 2009. In a healthy local housing market, the rental vacancy rate would be between three and five percent. That is generally considered by most experts to be "balanced" between supply and demand. When the vacancy rate falls below that level, a lack of supply will lead to rent increases, and can leave people unable to find housing and limit economic growth. The City does not have available specific information to estimate the number of vacant or abandoned buildings in the City. However, given the rise in foreclosure activities in the City, the number of abandoned homes is expected to have increased in recent years. 2. Assisted Housing Units "Assisted housing units" are defined as units with rents subsidized by federal, state, or local governmental programs. Affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate -income households are available through a variety of federal funding programs. However, many projects subsidized in the past with federal funding are at risk of converting to market -rate housing. According to the HUD Multi -Family Assistance Database, two projects in the City with 260 federally assisted housing units are at risk of converting to market rate during the next five years, as their Section 8 contracts are annually renewable (Table 20) and other affordability covenants have expired. Owners have the option to renew Section 8 contracts each year, at the owners' discretion.

The California legislature has made efforts to preserve units that are at -risk of converting, and has therefore extended the noticing requirement to one year. In addition, each jurisdiction's Housing Element (a section of the required General Plan) must discuss measures it will take to preserve housing at risk of converting to market rate. The National City 2005-2010 Housing Element identifies multiple measures the City will take to conserve these affordable units, including monitoring the at -risk units, identifying nonprofit organizations for potential purchase/management, and exploring funding sources to preserve the affordable units. 3. Housing Market Influence on Affordable Housing Due to the high land costs and related high home prices and rental rates, it is critically important to increase and maintain the supply of affordable housing in National City. Housing needs are felt by a wide spectrum of the community, and are greater than the resources available. As such, available public resources to serve low- and moderate -income households will need to be distributed across the Five -Year Strategic Plan 50 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City spectrum of needs and heavily leveraged when possible. This means providing funds for homebuyer assistance, housing rehabilitation, and the creation or development of new housing serving the target groups. Specific Housing Objectives (91.215 [b]) 1. Describe the priorities and specific objectives the jurisdiction hopes to achieve over a specified time period. 2. Describe how Federal, State, and local public and private sector resources that are reasonably expected to be available will be used to address identified needs for the period covered by the strategic plan. Five -Year Strategic Plan Specific Housing Objectives response: 1. Housing Priorities and Specific Objectives Housing activities that benefit low- and moderate -income households receive a high priority in the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan. The intended outcomes include conservation and improvement of existing affordable housing, increased development of affordable housing, first-time homebuyer opportunities for low- and moderate -income households, and the promotion of equal housing opportunities. Priority 1: Conserve and Improve Affordable Housing The older housing stock in National City suggests that repairs and rehabilitation will be required to maintain quality structures and living spaces. The City addresses this need through single-family and multi -family rehabilitation assistance. A high priority is given to conserving and improving affordable housing stock, including addressing lead -based paint hazards. The following programs assist with this goal: Minor Home Rehabilitation National City provides low-income homeowners and renters with assistance for housing rehabilitation. Minor home rehabilitation can include carpentry, painting, plumbing, electrical, and weatherization, among other services. Five Year Objective: • Provide funding for minor rehabilitation of 50 housing units during the five-year Consolidated Plan period. Performance Measure: Decent Housing (DH)/Availability (1) Ownership Housing Rehabilitation Program The Ownership Housing Rehabilitation Program provides loans and rebates to income -qualified households to correct health and safety violations, increase energy efficiency, alleviate overcrowding, and make other essential repairs. Typical repairs include roof repair or replacement, electrical work, plumbing or structural repairs, room additions to lessen overcrowding, window repair or replacement, weatherization improvements, and handicapped access improvements. The City is in Five -Year Strategic Plan 51 Attachment#2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City the process of developing guidelines for this program. Loans will be available to rehabilitate/repair single-family properties that meet eligibility requirements. Five Year Objective: • Provide funding to rehabilitate/repair 12 housing units during the five- year Consolidated Plan period. Performance Measure: Decent Housing (DH)/Availability (1) Rental Unit Rehabilitation Program National City offers favorable rehabilitation loans for owners of rental housing to make necessary improvements, in return for a deed restriction to maintain the units as affordable for a certain period. Rehabilitation loans focus on correcting health and safety violations and completing energy efficiency repairs and improvements. The City is in the process of developing guidelines for this program. Loans will be available to rehabilitate/repair multi -family properties that meet eligibility requirements. Five Year Objective: • Provide funding to rehabilitate/repair 12 housing units during the five- year Consolidated Plan period. Performance Measure: Decent Housing (DH)/Availability (1) Housing Inspection Program The City's Housing Inspection Program will provide technical assistance to property owners in low- and moderate -income areas with regard to code enforcement and violations. The program will provide information on available resources and methods to resolve violations. The program will provide for inspections/interventions in both rental and owner -occupied deteriorated housing units. Inspections can include a visual structural inspection, mold and meter readings, carbon monoxide testing, sampling for lead hazards an Environmental Hazards Assessment that will inspect the home for indoor air quality, asthma triggers, pesticides, and home safety. Five Year Objective: • Provide funding to assist 750 housing units with housing inspections during the five-year Consolidated Plan period. Performance Measure: Decent Housing (DH)/Availability (1) Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction The County of San Diego CLPPP identified National City's primary ZIP code (91510) as a high risk for lead poisoning due to a high percentage of housing built prior to 1970, a large percentage of children that are younger than six years old (when lead poisoning is most prevalent), and a high percentage of children under six living in poverty. Five Year Objective: • Continue to educate residents on health dangers of lead, and encourage screening of children for elevated blood -lead levels by providing educational materials as part of the City's various housing rehabilitation programs. Five -Year Strategic Plan 52 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City • Require testing and lead hazard reduction in conjunction with rehabilitation. • Provide educational materials on lead hazards to tenants and landlords as part of City inspections. Performance Measure: Decent Housing (DH)/Availability (1) Priority 2: Provide First -Time Homebuyer Opportunities The City is committed to expanding homeownership opportunities for lower- and moderate -income households through a first-time homebuyer program. The goal of this program is to provide opportunities for financial investment and relief from overcrowded conditions or cost burdens to low- and moderate -income households, and to assist with the stabilization of residential neighborhoods. First -Time Homebuyer Assistance The City is in the process of developing a first-time homebuyer program, anticipated to be in place in 2010. This program will provide financial assistance through loans and/or grants to help buyers with down payments, closing costs, mortgage insurance premiums, and/or a silent second trust deed loan. The specific parameters of the program will be developed in 2010. Five Year Objective: • Provide homeownership assistance to 25 households during the five- year Consolidated Plan period. Performance Measure: Decent Housing (DH)/Affordability (2) Priority 3: Support New Affordable Housing Construction The City will assist with the development of new affordable housing by working with for -profit and non-profit housing developers to acquire, rehabilitate, and construct new affordable housing units. Five Year Objective: • Support the rehabilitation and/or construction of 50 affordable housing units over the five-year Consolidated Plan period. Performance Measure: Decent Housing (DH)/Affordability (2) Priority 4: Promote Equal Housing Opportunity The City contracts with the Fair Housing Council of San Diego (FHCSD) to perform investigation, reporting, monitoring, tenant counseling, and landlord training on fair housing law. Allegations of housing discrimination are referred to FHCSD for investigation, and the FHCSD reports back to National City the results of the investigations. FHCSD also presents training sessions for local apartment owners and managers on the intent and parameters of fair housing law, in addition to general tenant/landlord education, mediation, and counseling. Five -Year Strategic Plan 53 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Five Year Objective: • Support fair housing services through assistance to fair housing counseling and enforcement organizations. Annually evaluate the services provided by the organizations to ensure that adequate and appropriate services are provided, and revise contracts as appropriate. • Actively advertise the services provided to National City residents in public locations such as City Hall and community centers. • Continue to comply with the fair housing planning requirements of CDBG and HOME programs, including actions to address any impediments to fair housing. Performance Measure: Decent Housing (DH)/Availability (1) Priority 5: Preserve Assisted Housing at Risk of Converting to Market Rate Preservation of At -Risk Housing Two projects in National City with 260 federally assisted housing units are at risk of converting to market rate during the next five years, as their Section 8 contracts are annually renewable. The City will implement the following objectives on an ongoing basis to conserve the affordable housing stock at risk of conversion. Five Year Objective: • Monitor units at risk of converting to market rate (Granger Apartments, Inter City Manor, and Plaza Manor). • Establish contact with public and nonprofit agencies interested in purchasing and/or managing units to inform them of the status of the three at -risk projects. Where feasible, provide technical assistance to these organizations with respect to financing. • California law requires property owners to give a 12-month notice of their intent to opt out of low-income use restrictions. The City will work with tenants of at -risk units and provide them with information regarding Section 8 rent subsidies and other affordable housing opportunities in the City. • National City administers its own Section 8 voucher and certificate programs. The City will assist tenants of at -risk housing units to obtain priority status if there is a conversion to market rate and if tenants' income and housing costs meet eligibility requirements. Performance Measure: Decent Housing (DH)/Availability (1) 2. Federal, State, and Local Public and Private Sector Resources National City has access to a variety of federal, state, and local resources to achieve its housing goals. Specific funding sources will be utilized based on the opportunities and constraints of each project or program. Major sources of funding available to the City for implementing housing and community development activities in National City include: Five -Year Strategic Plan 54 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Community Development Block Grants (CDBG): CDBG funding is awarded to the City on a formula basis for housing and community development activities. The City's estimated annual entitlement is approximately $1.1 million. HOME Investment Partnership Act: HOME is a flexible grant program awarded to the City on a formula basis for expanding affordable housing opportunities. The City's estimated annual entitlement is approximately $640,000. Other funding sources are available to the City but not addressed in this planning document. Community development, housing, and economic development goals can be met with supplemental funds that are provided by the state and federal government to leverage with federal funds from such programs as those below. Redevelopment Tax Increment Funds: Tax increment funds generated by the National City Redevelopment Agency can be used to facilitate the removal of blighting conditions in Redevelopment Project Areas. Twenty percent of the tax increment funds are set aside for affordable housing activities. Section 8: The Section 8 Rental Voucher Program is authorized by the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, and is overseen by HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing. The National City Housing Authority administers the local Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Rental Assistance Program, providing rental assistance payments to owners of private market -rate units on behalf of low-income tenants. SuperNOFA Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Program: Grants awarded to San Diego County to implement a broad range of activities which benefit homeless persons. For the 2008 application, the county (including service providers) was awarded $4.3 million. Housing Opportunity for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA): The HOPWA program also provides means for development. There is funding available for the housing, and related support -service needs, of low-income persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The City of San Diego receives HOPWA funding on behalf of San Diego County, as the largest jurisdiction in the County. San Diego receives approximately $2.5 million annually in HOPWA funding. Needs of Public Housing (91.210 [b]) In cooperation with the public housing agency or agencies iocated within its boundaries, describe the needs of public housing, including the number of public housing units in the jurisdiction, the physical condition of such units, the restoration and revitalization needs of public housing projects within the jurisdiction, and other factors, including the number of families on public housing and tenant -based waiting lists and results from the Section 504 needs assessment of public housing projects located within its boundaries (i.e. assessment of needs of tenants and applicants on waiting list for accessible units as required by 24 CFR 8.25). The public housing agency and jurisdiction can use the optional Priority Public Housing Needs Table (formerly Table 4) of the Consolidated Plan to identify priority public housing needs to assist in this process. Five -Year Strategic Plan 55 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Five -Year Strategic Plan Needs of Public Housing response: Public Housing Needs The National City Public Housing Authority is a Section 8-only agency and administers and operates its own rental assistance program. There are no public housing units located in the City. Public Housing Strategy (91.210) 1. Describe the public housing agency's strategy to serve the needs of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate -income families residing in the jurisdiction served by the public housing agency (including families on the public housing and section 8 tenant -based waiting list), the public housing agency's strategy for addressing the revitalization and restoration needs of public housing projects within the jurisdiction and improving the management and operation of such public housing, and the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of extremely /ow -income, low-income, and moderate families residing in public housing. 2. Describe the manner in which the plan of the jurisdiction will help address the needs of public housing and activities it will undertake to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership. (NAHA Sec. 105 (b)(11) and (91,215 [k]) 3. 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. (IVAHA Sec. 105 [g]) Five -Year Strategic Plan Public Housing Strategy response: 1. Public Housing Agency Strategy The National City Housing Authority is a Section 8-only agency. It has no authority to develop or maintain public housing. There are no public housing units located in the City. 2. Encourage Public Housing Resident Involvement There are no public housing projects located in National City. 3. "Troubled" Public Housing Agency The National City Public Housing Authority is not identified as a "Troubled" Agency in the 2008 Public Housing Agency Annual Plan. Five -Year Strategic Plan 56 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Barriers to Affordable Housing (91.210 (e) and 91.215 [f]) 1. Explain whether the cost of housing or the incentives to develop, maintain, or improve affordable housing are affected by public policies, particularly those of the local jurisdiction. Such policies include tax policy affecting land and other property, land use controls, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limits, and policies that affect the return on residential investment. 2. Describe the strategy to remove or ameliorate negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing, except that, if a State requires a unit of general local government to submit a regulatory barrier assessment that is substantially equivalent to the information required under this part, as determined by HUD, the unit of general local government may submit that assessment to HUD and it shall be considered to have complied with this requirement. Five -Year Strategic Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing response: 1. Barriers to Affordable Housing Constraints to the provision of adequate and affordable housing can be posed by governmental and non -governmental factors. These constraints may result in increased costs for developing new housing, potentially rendering residential construction economically infeasible for developers. Local government cannot control many of the factors that tend to restrict housing supply, especially those that relate to economic conditions and supply and demand for housing. Potential Governmental Barriers Policies set by local, state, or the federal government can potentially constrain housing development. Land Use Regulations Specific zoning and land use regulations can limit the land designated for residential uses and regulate the allowable densities. The City must plan for other uses besides housing, including active commerce, open space, and areas for public facilities. The need for a variety of housing and the pursuit of affordable housing must be balanced with these other City needs. The City's General Plan identifies 44 percent of the total land area for residential uses, including single-family homes, multi -family homes, mobile homes, and group quarters. Allowable residential densities range from one unit per acre to 22.9 units per acre in residential areas. In addition, residential uses are allowed in a number of commercial designations at up to 34.9 units per acre. These land use controls do not constitute a barrier to affordable housing. National City's lack of vacant land is its primary constraint to accommodating future growth. A small portion of National City falls within the coastal zone, which is generally bounded by the San Diego Bay to the west, U.S. Navy facilities to the north, the marine terminal and San Diego Unified Port District to the south, and Interstate 5 (I- 5) freeway on the east, with a small portion east of I-5. The area contains mostly warehouses and industrial uses related to the marine terminal, as ell as railroad and Five -Year Strategic Plan 57 Attachment#2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City trolley lines, commercial uses, and wetlands. There is no residentially zoned land within the coastal zone due to the proximity of both port and military activities. There are, however, a few remaining residential structures constructed years ago. One 46-unit apartment structure in this area was rehabilitated with City assistance and is currently restricted to extremely low- and very low-income households. Permit and Processing Costs In addition to land use regulations, permit and processing procedures and costs can increase time and cost of affordable housing development. The City charges permit processing fees and impact fees for such needs as roads and parks. These fees are necessary to maintain adequate public services and facilities, and do not present a significant constraint to housing development. For the Housing Element, a study of fees in surrounding jurisdictions was conducted. The study found that National City's fees are considerably lower on a per -unit basis than all nearly other San Diego County jurisdictions. Article 34 Article 34 of the California Constitution was enacted in 1950 and requires that low - rent housing projects developed, constructed, or acquired in any manner by any state or public agency, including cities, receive voter approval through the referendum process. The California Health and Safety Code further clarifies the scope and applicability of Article 34 to exclude housing projects that: • Have deed -restriction placed on less than 49 percent of the units; • Are housing projects that are rehabilitated/reconstructed and are currently deed -restricted; or • Are occupied by low-income persons. Article 34 constitutes an obstacle for local governments to be directly involved in the production of long-term affordable housing. The City does not have general Article 34 authority. However, the City has obtained authority for specific projects in the past and would seek voter approval in the future as necessary. The City does not consider Article 34 to be a significant constraint on affordable housing development. Prevailing Wages Labor costs can also affect the return on residential development. Consistent with the federal Davis -Bacon Act, a prevailing wage must be paid to laborers when federal funds are used to pay labor costs for any project over $2,000 or on any multi -family project over eight units. The prevailing wage is usually higher than competitive wages, raising the cost of housing production and rehabilitation activities. Davis - Bacon also adds to housing costs by requiring documentation of the prevailing wage compliance. These requirements often restrict participation by small, minority contractors. In addition, the State of California enacted SB 975 in 2002, which increased the number of construction projects that are subject to prevailing wage laws. It is estimated that this legislation impacted the overall costs of previously exempt projects by increasing labor costs by 15 to 20 percent. Five -Year Strategic Plan 58 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Non -Governmental Barriers The high cost of development in Southern California can be a constraint to new affordable housing construction. As housing prices and associated land costs skyrocketed over the last decade, affordable housing developers were forced to find additional subsidies to finance development. Existing market conditions are discussed in detail in the Housing Market Analysis Section. Availability of Financing Financing is a significant factor in overall housing cost. Interest rates impact housing costs in two ways. The costs of borrowing money for the actual development of the dwelling units are incorporated directly into the sales price or rent. Additionally, the interest rate of the homebuyer's mortgage is reflected in subsequent monthly payments. Many consumers are priced out of the housing market due to variations in interest rates. The economic crisis that began in 2007 stemmed directly from the housing industry collapse and rising mortgage defaults. In 2008, the federal government stepped in to shore up the two key mortgage holders in the country: Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Also, the federal government found it necessary to take over management of a California -based bank, IndyMac, which has a substantial mortgage business. A total of 140 U.S. banks failed in 2009. These happenings reflect continued weakness in the mortgage market that is taking some time to rectify. As a result, many lenders are tightening requirements and increasing fees and rates, thereby increasing the difficulties lower -income households may face in their attempts to buy homes and secure reasonable mortgages. Cost of Land The cost of residential land has a direct impact on the cost of a new home and is, therefore, a potential market constraint. The higher the land costs, the higher the price of a new home. National City is virtually built out. Available vacant residential land will become increasingly scarce over time. The cost of residential vacant land will continue to increase in the City and will play a role in the prices passed on to the consumers. The scarce supply of vacant land will influence residential intensification and conversion in the future. Cost of Construction The costs of labor and materials have a direct impact on the price of housing and are the main components of housing cost. Residential construction costs vary greatly depending upon the quality and size of the home being constructed and the materials being used. A significant constraint to housing families is the specific design features (lack of recreational facilities or unit size and design) in individual projects that are not suited for families with children. In addition, design features such as stairs, hallways, doorways, counters, and plumbing facilities restrict access by persons with disabilities. Five -Year Strategic Plan 59 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City 2. Strategy to Remove Barriers to Affordable Housing National City works to remove barriers to affordable housing by implementing a Housing Element that is consistent with California law and taking actions to reduce costs or provide off -setting financial incentives to assist in the production of safe, high -quality, affordable housing. In 2004, HUD published a series of evaluative questions that serve as good "markers" for effective regulatory reform and that HUD uses to judge whether governmental grant applicants can demonstrate successful efforts in removing regulatory barriers to affordable housing. The markers point specifically to active planning for housing, appropriate fees and regulations, and proactive barrier removal. National City maintains a Housing Element as part of its state -required General Plan. The Housing Element provides estimates of current and anticipated housing needs, taking into account the anticipated growth of the region, for existing and future residents, including low, moderate and middle income families, on a schedule determined by the legislature. State law requires that the City's Housing Element identify sufficient land use and density categories to accommodate a variety of housing types, including multifamily housing, duplexes, mobile homes, and group quarters. Among other things, housing elements are required to identify opportunity sites with land use controls that facilitate affordable housing development. Another key component of the housing element is a review of the extent to which government policies act as barriers to housing development (and especially affordable housing development) and the jurisdiction's commitment to eliminating or mitigating the barriers. Minimum unit sizes are included in the City's Land Use Code, as overcrowding is prevalent in the City. However, the unit size requirements are standard requirements and typical of other jurisdictions' building requirements. The City's impact fees are developed based on standards that require a direct relationship between the fee and the development (nexus), and a method for fee calculation. Some impact fees may be waived for affordable housing projects. The Housing Element is required to be updated every four to eight years by state law. The Housing Element, upon each update, is reviewed by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for consistency with state law. The City's current Housing Element, adopted in 2007, was found to be consistent with state law by HCD in 2008. National City will continue to monitor potential barriers to affordable housing through the Housing Element. In addition, actions that will be undertaken in the next few years to remove barriers to affordable housing include: • Periodically review and modify City polices and regulations to respond to state and federal laws, changing market conditions, and development trends. • Continue to implement the Housing Element, including implementation programs directed at reducing barriers to affordable housing development. • Continue to provide rehabilitation assistance, homeownership assistance, and rental assistance through the Section 8 program, and to assist in the Five -Year Strategic Plan 60 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City construction of affordable housing to expand affordable housing opportunities in National City. Homeless Needs (91.205 (b) and 91.215 [c]) *Please also refer to the Homeless Needs Table in the Needs.xls workbook Homeless Needs— The jurisdiction must provide a concise summary of the nature and extent of homelessness in the jurisdiction, (including rural homelessness and chronic homelessness where applicable), addressing separately the need for facilities and services for homeless persons and homeless families with children, both sheltered and unsheltered, and homeless subpopulations, in accordance with Table 1A. The summary must include the characteristics and needs of low-income individuals and children, (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered. In addition, to the extent information is available, the plan must include a description of the nature and extent of home/essness by racial and ethnic group. A quantitative analysis is not required. If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at -risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at -risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates. Five Year Strategic Plan Homeless Needs response: Homeless Needs According to Title 42 of the United States Code, Chapter 19, homeless persons are described as persons who lack fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence or they live in a welfare hotel, emergency and transitional housing program, or a place not ordinarily used as regular sleeping accommodations, such as cars, movie theatres, abandoned buildings, in parks, or on the street. Homelessness can be distinguished by its duration. First, there are the transitionally homeless people who, because of circumstances usually in combination with other factors such as loss of job, unexpected expenses, or health issues, are unable to stay housed. The majority of this homeless population is extremely poor. In contrast, chronically homeless people routinely live on the streets or other places not intended for habitation. Another related group that requires special attention is the portion of the population that is at risk of homelessness. The at -risk population consists of extremely low- and low-income families and individuals who, upon loss of employment or public assistance, would likely lose their housing and end up residing in shelters or becoming homeless. In National City, 42 percent of households are in this situation (6,268 extremely low- and low-income households). Furthermore, of these at -risk households, 68 percent experience housing cost burden, paying more than 30 percent of their incomes for housing. Another group of at -risk households are those that face evictions due to foreclosure. Foreclosures are occurring in both single- family and multi -family housing units; both owners and renters are affected. According to 2000 Census, over 2,300 families in National City were living below the poverty level. Five -Year Strategic Plan 61 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Other persons considered at -risk for becoming homeless include victims of domestic violence, persons with HIV/AIDS, youth recently released from foster care, and parolees. This is primarily due to the lack of access to permanent housing and the absence of an adequate support network. Those being released from penal, mental, or substance abuse facilities often require social services in addition to housing assistance to help them make the transition back into society and remain off the streets. Rental assistance programs are an important resource for these groups. Other needed services include counseling and job training or employment assistance. The San Diego Regional Task Force for the Homeless (RTFH) is the central clearinghouse for information on the homeless for the San Diego region. The RTFH addresses the issue of homelessness on a region -wide basis through statistical research, advocacy, and technical assistance. The Point -In -Time (PIT) count is a snapshot of persons that can be seen and counted on the streets and in emergency and transitional housing on any given day. This method provides homeless information and analysis, which stakeholders and community members can use to monitor trends. Below are tables representing the characteristics of the homeless population in National City, according to the January 30, 2009 PIT count. Because there is no agricultural land in National City, there is no "rural" homeless population. Sheltered and Unsheltered in National City Homeless persons in the San Diego region, including National City, can live on the street, in emergency shelters or in transitional housing. As shown in Table 21, there were 459 homeless persons in National City, of whom 284 were unsheltered (62 percent). The number of unsheltered individuals increased by 62 percent from the 2008 PIT count that found 175 unsheltered individuals in National City.

More than half (61 percent) of the sheltered homeless population were children under the age of 18 (Table 22). Two thirds of all homeless persons in National City were male. Females made up only one third of the total homeless population and only 21 percent of those living on the street. In contrast, of those in emergency shelters and transitional housing, females were the majority at 59 percent. Approximately 71 percent of the City's homeless population were White, 14 percent were Black, and two percent were Asian. Hispanics represented 45 percent of the homeless population in National City in the point -in -time survey.

A significant proportion of those living in emergency shelters and transitional programs reported being victims of domestic abuse. In emergency shelters and transitional housing, domestic violence was reported by 32 percent of homeless persons in National City (Table 23). Chronic Homelessness According to HUD's definition of chronic homelessness, a person is considered such if: • A person has some kind of physical or mental disabling condition and has been homeless for a year or more and is not part of a family; or • A person has a disability and has had at least four episodes of homelessness during any three year period, and is not part of a family. Although the 2009 PIT count does not provide specific characteristic information on unsheltered individuals in National City, the county -wide trend for this subpopulation of homeless persons is 44 percent of the total homeless population. When applying this figure to National City's homeless population, it is estimated that 125 out of 284 unsheltered individuals are considered chronically homeless (Table 23). Local Five -Year Strategic Plan 63 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City emergency and transitional shelters did not provide information on chronic homelessness of residents. Mental Illness The 2009 PIT count does not provide specific personal information on unsheltered individuals in National City such as their mental health. However, the county -wide trend for this subpopulation of homeless persons is 29 percent. When applying this figure to National City's homeless population, it is estimated that 82 out of 284 unsheltered individuals are considered severely mentally ill (Table 23). According to the RTFH, mental illness is typically associated with chronic homelessness. None of the sheltered homeless population reported a mental illness in National City. Substance Abuse The rate of substance abuse (alcohol and drugs) among the unsheltered homeless population in the San Diego region was 41 percent. When applying this figure to National City, it is estimated that 116 unsheltered homeless individuals have or have had a substance abuse problem (Table 23). Of the City's sheltered homeless population, two persons reported having a substance abuse problem. Veterans With five military bases in San Diego, veterans comprise a significant proportion of the region's homeless population. Countywide, 21 percent of the unsheltered homeless population were veterans. As the 2009 PIT does not provide specific characteristic information for unsheltered homeless individuals in National City, it is estimated that there were approximately 60 homeless veterans in National City (Table 23). Of the City's sheltered homeless population, one person reported being a military veteran. Persons with HIV/AIDS In the San Diego region, the 2009 PIT count found that approximately three percent of the unsheltered homeless population reported being HIV/AIDS positive. When applying this estimate to National City's homeless population, it is expected that approximately nine of 284 unsheltered homeless individuals has HIV or AIDS. No cases were reported among the City's sheltered homeless population (Table 23).

National City is part of the San Diego County Continuum of Care system. As part of the regional Continuum of Care Strategy, San Diego County prepares a Gap Analysis annually to update information on the unmet needs of the homeless. A similar analysis is provided to describe the specific needs of National City. The Continuum of Care Gap Analysis presented in Appendix B shows the unmet homeless shelter and service needs of the community. According to the Gap Analysis, there are significant unmet needs in the areas of emergency shelters, transitional housing, case management, life skills training, mental health services, and substance abuse treatments for homeless individuals. For homeless families with children, the Gap Analysis indicates unmet needs in the areas of emergency housing, life skills training, social services for victims of domestic violence, and child care. Five -Year Strategic Plan 65 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Priority Homeless Needs 1. Using the results of the Continuum of Care planning process, identify the jurisdiction's homeless and homeless prevention priorities specified in Table 1A, the Homeless and Special Needs Populations Chart. The description of the jurisdiction's choice of priority needs and allocation priorities must be based on reliable data meeting HUD standards and should reflect the required consultation with homeless assistance providers, homeless persons, and other concerned citizens regarding the needs of homeless families with children and individuals. The jurisdiction must provide an analysis of how the needs of each category of residents provided the basis for determining the relative priority of each priority homeless need category. A separate brief narrative should be directed to addressing gaps in services and housing for the sheltered and unsheltered chronic homeless. 2. A community should give a high priority to chronically homeless persons, where the jurisdiction identifies sheltered and unsheltered chronic homeless persons in its Homeless Needs Table Homeless Populations and Subpopulations. Five -Year Strategic Plan Homeless Needs response: 1. Homeless and Homeless Prevention Priorities Homelessness is a regional issue that requires the coordination of regional efforts. National City is part of the San Diego County Continuum of Care system. The Continuum of Care is a countywide homeless housing and service delivery system developed by local homeless service providers. As part of the Continuum of Care Strategy, National City coordinates services and facilities for the homeless following a continuum of care model. A continuum of care begins with a point of entry in which the needs of a homeless individual or family are assessed. Once a needs assessment is completed, the person/family may be referred to permanent housing or to transitional housing where supportive services are provided to prepare them for independent living. The goal of a comprehensive homeless service system is to ensure that homeless individuals and families move from homelessness to self- sufficiency, permanent housing, and independent living. Homeless needs and priorities continue to be identified through the County's Continuum of Care System. In addition to the provision of a range of housing options (emergency, transitional, and permanent supportive housing), supportive services are an integral component to fostering self-sufficiency for homeless persons. Many agencies provide supportive services to the homeless population in San Diego County. These agencies include non-profit, faith -based, community, and governmental entities. Examples of supportive services provided include training, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, assessment, life skills training, employment services, information and referral, and other important services. In 2004, National City participated in the regional planning effort coordinated by the County of San Diego to address chronic homeless. The effort culminated in the adoption of the Ten -Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness in the San Diego region. The City will continue to collaborate with the county and neighboring jurisdictions to Five -Year Strategic Plan 66 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City end chronic homelessness in the region. However, a major barrier to achieving this end is the lack of adequate funding to address the extensive and long-term needs of the chronic homeless. 2. Chronic Homeless Priorities According to the 2009 Point -In -Time count, 284 persons were unsheltered in National City in January 2009. As such, National City has assigned a high priority for emergency and transitional housing. for homeless persons in the community. National City continues to participate and support the San Diego Continuum of Care Strategy for as the primary delivery system of comprehensive and coordinated housing and services for the homeless. The County's regional Continuum of Care system provides emergency, transitional, and permanent supportive housing, plus services, to address the needs of homeless persons and enable transition to independent living. The Continuum of Care system serves the needs of the homeless through a range of nonprofit organizations (faith -based and community -based); federal, state, and local governmental agencies; public housing authorities; local businesses; schools and universities; law enforcement; private donors; and homeless/formerly homeless persons. Homeless Inventory (91.210 [c]) The jurisdiction shall provide a concise summary of the existing facilities and services (including a brief inventory) that assist homeless persons and families with children and subpopulations identified in Table 1A. These include outreach and assessment, emergency shelters and services, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, access to permanent housing, and activities to prevent low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) from becoming homeless. The jurisdiction can use the ,optional Continuum of Care Housing Activity Chart and Service Activity Chart to meet this requirement. Five -Year Strategic Plan Homeless Inventory response: Homeless Inventory Homeless persons often have difficulty finding permanent housing upon leaving a transitional housing or other assistance program. Most have poor rental histories that include evictions, notices, and/or a spotty payment record. Even if a formerly homeless person has an adequate rental history and employment, the high cost of housing and large deposits required can severely limit the housing options available. More than 50 agencies provide supportive services for the homeless and persons at risk of becoming homeless. In addition to the Community Food Bank of National City - Project Hunger/Project Independence, the following agencies also provide supportive services to National City residents. • National City Family Resource Centers have been instrumental in assisting families in need with a wide range of services. Five -Year Strategic Plan 67 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City • MAAC Project has several human services programs that include housing, nutrition, and job training. • South Bay Community Services is a social service provider that includes transitional housing, emergency shelter, mental health services, general health services, and job counseling/training. Access to services offered by these agencies allows individuals to strengthen or stabilize the financial situation, preventing homelessness. Because homeless shelter facilities are limited in National City, the City primarily refers homeless people to shelters in downtown San Diego. Organization and agencies that provide housing assistance services to National City are: Emergency Shelter • Home Start Inc. o Hotel Motel Vouchers • South Bay Community Services o Casa Nuestra (8 beds, target population are single males and females) o Casa Nueva Vida I (6 beds, target population is households with children) o Hotel Motel Vouchers Transitional Housing • South Bay Community Services o Casa De Transicion (73 beds, target population is households with children) o FOCUS (144 beds, target populations is households with children) o Trolley Trestle (20 beds, target populations are youth males and females) o Victorian Heights (32 beds, target populations are households with children and victims of domestic violence) Emergency shelters often provide accommodation for a few days up to three months. Transitional housing provides shelter for an extended period of time (as long as 18 months) and generally includes integration with other social services and counseling programs that assist people in attaining a permanent income and housing. Permanent supportive housing is rental housing for low-income or formerly homeless people with severe mental illness, substance abuse, or HIV/AIDS with accompanying services that also further self-sufficiency. Currently there are no agencies providing permanent supportive housing in National City. Homeless Prevention Programs and Services Preventive services are aimed at preventing the incidences of homelessness by assisting individuals and families from slipping into the cycle of homelessness due to a temporary or sudden loss of income. Preventive services include: • Short-term financial assistance to prevent eviction, foreclosure, or utility shut off • Tenant -landlord legal/mediation services to prevent eviction Five -Year Strategic Plan 68 Attachment M2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City • Food banks and pantries • Transportation and gas vouchers • Clothing assistance • Affordable prescription, medical, and dental services • Information and referral services As indicated in the 2008 Regional Homeless Profile prepared by the San Diego Regional Taskforce on the Homeless, many organizations in San Diego provide the services to homeless persons in National City, as described below. • Mental Health: The County Department of Health and Human Services Agency provides a variety of mental health services, including homeless outreach services. The homeless outreach teams make street contacts and work through other agencies and providers to assist the homeless who are in acute need of services. The objective is to get the clients the funding, shelter, and basic needs for which they are eligible. Other organizations that provide mental health services to homeless or persons threatened with homelessness include the Alpha Project for the Homeless and Catholic Charities. • AIDS/HIV: As the number of HIV/AIDS cases increases in San Diego County, more organizations are beginning to provide housing services for patients without adequate shelter. Housing counseling and/or shelter are provided by the county Department of Health and Human Services Agency, Office of AIDS Coordination, Being Alive - San Diego, Fraternity House, and Episcopal Community Services. • Substance Abuse: Many homeless persons use alcohol and drugs and have addiction problems. The patient fees at most treatment centers for substance abuse are expensive and preclude treatment for homeless persons. Several South Bay agencies provide drug and alcohol rehabilitation services for National City residents. The MAAC project operates programs aimed at reducing alcohol abuse and provides residential recovery programs for men and women. The San Diego Freedom Ranch in Campo also provides a recovery home for low-income and indigent persons. South Bay Drug Abuse Services, operated by Episcopal Community Services, provides 33 programs for treatment and prevention of alcohol and other drug abuse. These programs include self-help groups, recovery and treatment services, mental health counseling, community prevention programs, and parenting classes. • Domestic Violence: A number of homeless women are victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The Center for Women's Studies and Services/Project Safehouse provides safe shelter and case management for women in such circumstances. The YWCA Women in Transition Program also provides shelter and case management for women. Admission into the YWCA program is open to all women (not just victims of domestic violence). Catholic Charities also has shelters for victims of domestic violence. National City provides funding to non-profit organizations to rent, acquire/rehabilitate, or construct transitional housing for victims of domestic violence. • Runaway Youth: Homeless youth are typically runaways who have fled intolerable home conditions. The YMCA Juvenile Crisis Program provides Five -Year Strategic Plan 69 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City emergency shelter and individual and family counseling for homeless youths. Youth from outside the County are returned home by bus through a voucher system. • Persons Released from Prison: This group can have emergency housing needs. Community Connection Resource Center provides comprehensive supportive and employment services for ex -offenders to break the cycle of crime and incarcerations. Referrals for emergency shelter are administered by the Resource Center. • Employment: Securing employment is an important step for homeless persons returning to independence. A large proportion of homeless persons, particularly women, lack skills to obtain employment that pays well enough to support themselves and their families. The San Diego Regional Occupational Program (ROP) provides tuition -free entry level and advanced training to students and adults aged 16 and older. ROP offers more than 350 different courses throughout the county and typically serves 38,000 students a year. Five -Year Strategic Plan 70 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Homeless Strategic Plan (91.215 [c]) 1. Homelessness— Describe the jurisdiction's strategy for developing a system to address homelessness and the priority needs of homeless persons and families (including the subpopulations identified in the needs section). The jurisdiction's strategy must consider the housing and supportive services needed in each stage of the process which includes preventing homelessness, outreach/assessment, emergency shelters and services, transitional housing, and helping homeless persons (especially any persons that are chronically homeless) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living. The jurisdiction, must also describe its strategy for helping extremely low- and low-income individuals and families who are at imminent risk of becoming homeless. 2. Chronic homelessness —Describe the jurisdiction's strategy for eliminating chronic homelessness by 2012. This should include the strategy for helping homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent living. This strategy should, to the maximum extent feasible, be coordinated with the strategy presented Exhibit 1 of the Continuum of Care (CoC) application and any other strategy or plan to eliminate chronic homelessness. Also describe in a narrative, relationships and efforts to coordinate the;Conplan, CoC, and any other strategy or plan to address chronic homelessness 3. Homelessness Prevention —Describe the jurisdiction's strategy to help prevent homelessness for individuals and families with children who are at imminent risk of becoming homeless. 4. Institutional Structure —Briefly describe the institutional structure, Including private industry, non-profit organizations, and public institutions, through which the jurisdiction will carry out its homelessness strategy 5. Discharge Coordination Policy —Every jurisdiction receiving McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), Supportive Housing, Shelter Plus Care, or Section 8 SRO Program funds must develop and implement a Discharge Coordination Policy, to the maximum extent practicable. Such a policy should include "policies and protocols for the discharge of persons from publicly funded institutions or systems of care (such as health care facilities, foster care or other youth facilities, or correction programs and institutions) in order to prevent such discharge from immediately resulting in homelessness for such persons." The jurisdiction should describe its planned activities to implement a cohesive, community -wide Discharge Coordination Policy, and how the community will move toward such a policy. Five -Year Homeless Strategic Plan response: 1. Strategy to Address Homelessness National City continues to participate and support the San Diego Continuum of Care Strategy for as the primary delivery system of comprehensive and coordinated housing and services for the homeless. The County's regional Continuum of Care system provides emergency, transitional, and permanent supportive housing, plus services, to address the needs of homeless persons and enable transition to independent living. Five -Year Strategic Plan 71 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City To better serve the homeless community, National City also formed a Homeless Committee, represented by staff from various City departments, including Public Works, Parks, Police, Human Resources, and Community Services. By bringing employees of the various departments together, the City is able to effectively evaluate the needs of the homeless from different perspectives. In 2009, the committee created a set of goals and objectives. The City has been trying to attract more resources and complement any efforts to address the problem of homelessness. The Homeless Committee has effectively collaborated to communicate problems and provide solutions that can provide the best avenues for dealing with such a complex problem. The Homeless Committee is proactively looking for resources to make sure that there is a high rate of success for the continuum of care model that has been implemented. Below are National City's priorities and objectives for addressing homelessness in the community. Priority 6: Support Housing and Services for Homeless and Persons At -Risk of Homelessness As discussed at the beginning of this Homeless Section, the City has approximately 284 unsheltered homeless persons at any given time. Of these, the City estimates that 125 are chronically homeless. To assist this population, emergency, transitional, and permanent supportive housing in conjunction with services are needed. In addition, a significant method for addressing homelessness in the community is to prevent it. With a struggling economy nationwide, job loss has been prevalent. Without an income to support housing and living expenses, the homeless rates are climbing along with the unemployment rates. In National City, approximately 28 percent of extremely low-income families use 50 percent of their income for housing. If job loss were to occur, these families would likely loose their homes or be evicted, becoming homeless. Therefore, emergency shelter, rental assistance, job training and placement assistance, and other support services are critical for homeless prevention in the community. National City is part of the San Diego County Continuum of Care System and addresses homeless issues in the community through the continuum of care model. Components of this model include: • Permanent supportive housing and services for the chronically homeless • Emergency Shelter • Transitional Shelter • Outreach intake assessment • Employment supportive services The National City Housing Authority also addresses the issues of low-income residents overpaying for housing through the Section 8 Voucher Program. By providing rental assistance, the City is assisting at -risk persons and families from becoming homeless. In addition, the City may use CDBG funds to provide supportive services to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. Support services include emergency assistance, emergency food, and childcare, among others. Five -Year Strategic Plan 72 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Five Year Objectives: • Continue to support and participate in the San Diego Continuum of Care System for the delivery of services to the homeless populations. • Coordinate with Emergency Food and Shelter Programs to bring funds into the region and address the needs of the homeless and at -risk populations, including the chronic homeless population. • Provide assistance to agencies and organizations that provide services to the homeless and/or persons at -risk of homelessness. Assist 500 persons over the five-year Consolidated Plan period. Performance Measure: Suitable Living (SL)/Availability (1) 2. Strategy to Eliminate Chronic Homelessness See response to Number 1 of this section, above. 3. Homelessness Prevention Experts estimate that two to three families are on the verge of homelessness for every family in a shelter. As identified in the Housing Needs section above, the at - risk population is comprised of families and individuals living in poverty who, upon loss of employment or other emergency requiring financial reserves, would lose their housing and become homeless. These families are generally experiencing a housing cost burden, paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. In National City, 42 percent of households are in this situation (6,268 extremely low- and low- income households). According to the 2000 Census, over 2,300 families in National City were living below the poverty level. Other persons considered at -risk for becoming homeless include victims of domestic violence, persons with HIV/AIDS, youth recently released from foster care, and parolees. To help prevent homelessness and protect at -risk populations, National City will continue to support and participate in the San Diego County Community of Care System for providing assistance to persons at risk of becoming homeless. See response to Number 1 of this section above for further discussion. 4. Institutional Structure for Homelessness Strategy See response to Number 1 of this section, above. 5. Discharge Policy The City of National City does not receive McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), Supportive Housing, Shelter Plus Care, or Section 8 SRO Program funds, and does not have a Discharge Coordination Policy. Five -Year Strategic Plan 73 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) (States only) Describe the process for awarding grants to State recipients, and a description of how the allocation will be made available to units of local government. Five -Year Strategic Plan ESG response: This section applies to states only; no response is required. Community Development (91.215 [e]) *Please also refer to the Community Development Table in the Needs.xls workbook 1. Identify the jurisdiction's priority non -housing community development needs eligible for assistance by CDBG eligibility category specified in the Community Development Needs Table (formerly Table 28), - i.e., public facilities, public improvements, public services and economic development. 2. Describe the basis for assigning the priority given to each category of priority needs. 3. Identify any obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 4. Identify specific long-term and short-term community development objectives (including economic development activities that create jobs), developed in accordance with the statutory goals described in section 24 CFR 91.1- and the primary objective of the CDBG program to provide decent housing and a suitable living environment' and expand economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate -income persons. Five -Year Strategic Plan Community Development response: 1. Priority Community Development Needs Under HUD regulations, CDBG funds may be used to provide services and facilities that benefit primarily those residents earning up to 80 percent of area median income. CDBG funds may also be used to provide or improve facilities located in areas where the majority of the population (51 percent) earns less than 80 percent AMI. Figure 1, Low- and Moderate -Income Areas in the General Questions Section identifies the census block groups in National City considered low and moderate income. In 2007, National City adopted a five-year strategic plan to address community and economic development. The strategic plan was updated in 2009, with slightly revised goals and objectives. The City's strategic plan identifies nine strategic objectives with a series of actions to achieve the community's goals: • Function as One City - Function as a Team • Achieve Fiscal Sustainability Five -Year Strategic Plan 74 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City • Improve Quality of Life • Utilize Community Resources • Focus Long -Range Planning Efforts • Improve Housing Conditions • Make an Impact • Promote Community Assets • Build on Success The City of National City is undertaking a comprehensive update to its General Plan in 2010. The General Plan is intended to recognize the complexity and interconnectedness of key urban planning issues; respond to the requirements, preferences, and dreams of the diverse citizenry; and contain a realistic implementing action plan with a timetable and evaluation criteria to track the City's progress and effectiveness towards meeting its goals and policies. Based on concepts developed during the City's Strategic Plan process, National City is composed of three communities: Kimball, Las Palmas, and El Toyon. Each community contains a community park that serves as a focal point. The communities are further organized into 10 neighborhoods, roughly based on elementary school attendance boundaries. The unique needs and identities of each of these communities and neighborhoods will be addressed through the General Plan Update. In the neighborhood context, some of the major initiatives of the General Plan include introducing urban agriculture throughout the community, organized around schools and parks and related neighborhoods. The goal is to support healthy lifestyles and improve quality of life, facilitate community engagement, revitalize underutilized land, and foster sustainability. Types of urban agriculture can include backyard, schoolyard, or community gardens; container or rooftop gardens, pocket gardens (mini -parks with food -producing plants); edible landscapes; etc. The Community Development Needs Table, located in Appendix A, indicates the priority community development needs for the five-year Consolidated Plan period. A priority ranking has been assigned to each community development category for purposes of using CDBG and HOME funds, as discussed in the General Questions section earlier in this document. Activities to address high priority needs are expected to be funded during the five-year period. The overall priority community development need for the Consolidated Plan is to foster a suitable living environment for low- and moderate -income households. The City has identified the following community development priorities for the five- year Consolidated Plan: Priority 7: Provide for New and Improve Existing Community Facilities Capital Improvement Planning The City utilizes a five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as a planning tool to identify capital project needs and to assess the City's financial capacity for addressing those needs. The CIP is updated annually. A number of priorities have been identified for the Consolidated Plan five-year period. The CIP will be one of the implementing tools of the City's Strategic Plan and General Plan. Five -Year Strategic Plan 75 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Parks and Recreation Facility Improvements CDBG funds may be used to improve and expand parks and recreation facilities that serve a majority low- and moderate -income population and those with special needs. Community Facilities National City may use CDBG funds to assist in the construction, expansion, and/or rehabilitation of other non -City owned community facilities serving the City's low - and moderate -income population and people with special needs. Fire Equipment Protection against fire is a critical need in the community. CDBG funds have been leveraged in the past through a Section 108 loan to support new fire facilities and equipment. If the need for a third fire station is found, CDBG funds may be used to facilitate this project. Americans with Disabilities Act Community facilities should be accessible to all persons, including people with disabilities. Efforts should be made to remove barriers to facilities for people with disabilities. The CIP identifies improvements to be made with regard to ADA compliance. Five Year Objectives: • Pursue three improvement projects to parks, recreational, and community facilities annually, for a total of 15 projects during the five- year Consolidated Plan period. • Continue to prioritize repayment of the Section 108 loan. The City has allocated program income to pay the loan payment for the first three years of this Consolidated Plan period. CDBG funds, or as program income becomes available, will be allocated for the last two years of the Consolidated Plan period. Performance Measure: Suitable Living (SL)/Availability (1) Priority 8: Provide for Needed Infrastructure Improvements in Low - and Moderate -Income Areas In the City's low- and moderate -income areas, street and sidewalk improvements are needed to support continued investment in the areas. The public outreach efforts noted needed improvements to streets and alleys. In addition, General Plan initiatives to create neighborhood hubs would be facilitated by neighborhood and sidewalk improvements that provide safe routes through neighborhoods and to destinations. In addition, flood control projects have been identified as priorities, especially those located near parks to ensure safety and best use of available recreation space. Five Year Objectives: • Pursue three to four improvement projects to infrastructure annually, for a total of two flood control and 15 street improvement projects during the five-year Consolidated Plan period. Performance Measure: Suitable Living (SL)/Availability (1) Five -Year Strategic Plan 76 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Priority 9: Provide for Needed Community and Supportive Services The City may use CDBG funding to provide a variety of needed services to low- and moderate -income and special needs persons in the community. Priority service needs identified through the public outreach process include youth services, homeless and emergency food services, senior services, childcare, and crime prevention. The City has identified an especially high need for youth and crime awareness/prevention services. National City has a large youth population. Needed services include recreational and after -school programs, child care programs, counseling services, and services for neglected/abused children, among others. In addition, public outreach for the Consolidated Plan identified crime prevention as a key priority. Crime prevention is a key component to ensuring a suitable living environment for National City's low- and moderate -income residents. Five Year Objectives: • Pursue public services for lower -income and special needs populations as identified on a yearly basis. Assist a total of 8,350 persons or households over the five-year Consolidated Plan period. Performance Measure: Suitable Living (SL)/Availability (1) Priority 10: Provide for Necessary Planning Activities To ensure the effective use of limited CDBG and HOME funds, the City must allocate money towards planning and monitoring. Preparation of annual updates allows the City to address the community's changing needs. Continued outreach to low- and moderate -income households should be conducted as part of the CDBG program's required public participation process. City staff should be abreast of current CDBG and HOME program requirements and future program development by attending trainings and meetings with related agencies. Up to 20 percent of CDBG funds and up to 10 percent of HOME funds can be used to support the general administration of the CDBG and HOME programs. The City uses a portion of this funding to facilitate the Neighborhood Councils Program. The Neighborhood Council Groups were established to provide the local citizenry the opportunity to voice their ideas and concerns regarding neighborhood issues. The result has enhanced public participation and has improved City responsiveness to local issues and concerns. Currently, seven Neighborhood Council Groups meet on a monthly basis. The Groups cover the neighborhoods of Northside, Granger, Central, Eastside, Olivewood, Sweetwater Heights, and Old Town. Objectives include: • Promoting and fostering participation and communication among neighborhood organizations, elected representatives, and city staff to facilitate the resolution of neighborhood problems • Creating partnerships between the City and its neighborhoods in order to provide neighborhoods with tools and resources for planning and development, which reflect their specific needs and values • Working to strengthen and coordinate City departments' responses to neighborhood problems and requests for help • Working to facilitate communication between the neighborhoods regarding common concerns Five -Year Strategic Plan 77 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City • Sharing with the public, National City's organizational structure and its services • Encouraging and facilitating the rebuilding of stronger neighborhood involvement • Coordination with the Neighborhood Councils ensures that the City understands its housing and community development needs and addresses the changing needs. This group also helps ensure that public participation related to CDBG and HOME activities involves residents throughout the City's low- and moderate -income neighborhoods. Five Year Objectives: • Annually review implementation of the Consolidated Plan and update the Action Plan and other components as necessary, but at least once per year. • Conduct monitoring of CDBG and HOME funded activities. • Ensure understanding of changing community needs through coordination with the Neighborhood Councils. • Support efforts to increase volunteerism in the community in order to assist in the removal of blight and increase community engagement. Performance Measure: Suitable Living (SL)/Availability (1) 2. Basis for Assigning Priority The City conducted a community survey, held a community meeting with residents and service providers, and interviewed City departments and local service providers to assess the nature and extent of community development needs, as described in the Citizen Participation Section. Funding priorities were established based on the extent of needs and the availability of other funding sources to address those needs. (See also response to Item #2 in the General Questions Section, page 16.) Current and past funding levels for services and facility improvements, as well as funding levels identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan are used as gross estimates for the funding needed for the next five year. The unit of assistance, depending on the nature of the program, may represent a household, a housing unit, a person, a project, or an organization. 3. Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs One of the main obstacles to meeting underserved community development needs is inadequate funding from the state and federal governments. While appropriations for the CDBG program increased in FY 2009-2010, over the past decade appropriations have decreased significantly, leading to reduced support for local community development programs. With the increasing California budget crisis and reduction in funding from the state, funds are even lower to meet increasing needs. In addition, while CDBG funds can be used to assist with renovations and creation of new public facilities and capital projects in the targeted neighborhoods, other priority community, housing, and human services needs, must also be considered, limiting the amount of CDBG funds available. Five -Year Strategic Plan 78 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City 4. Specific Long -Term and Short -Term Community Development Objectives National City has established the following programs/objectives during the five-year Consolidated Plan period to address priority housing needs in the City: SL-1 Suitable Living Environment: Availability/Accessibility • Improve and/or maintain public facilities and improvements for low- and moderate- income and/or special needs persons (10 projects). • Improve and/or maintain parks and recreational facilities for low- and moderate- income and/or special needs persons (5 projects). • Improve the quality of flood control infrastructure for low- and moderate - income areas (2 projects). • Improve the quality of street infrastructure for low- and moderate -income areas (15 projects). • Continue to prioritize repayment of the City's Section 108 loan. • Provide for necessary planning and administration activities associated with CDBG and HOME program administration. • Support public services to assist 8,850 low- and moderate -income and special needs persons. These objectives are based on the assumption that consistent levels of funding will be available to the City. Should funding levels be reduced in the future, the ability of the City to meet these objectives may be compromised. Also refer to Community Development Needs Table in Appendix A for five-year and one-year objectives. Antipoverty Strategy (91.215 [h]) 1. Describe the jurisdiction's goals, programs, and policies for reducing the number of poverty level families (as defined by the Office of Management and Budget and revised annually). In consultation with other appropriate public and private agencies, (i.e. TANF agency) state how the jurisdiction's goals, programs, and policies for producing and preserving affordable housing set forth in the housing component of the consolidated plan will be coordinated with other programs and services for which the jurisdiction is responsible. 2. Identify the extent to which this strategy will reduce (or assist in, reducing) the number of poverty level families, taking into consideration factors over which the jurisdiction has control. Five -Year Strategic Plan 79 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Five -Year Strategic Plan Antipoverty Strategy response: 1. Anti -Poverty Strategy In National City, 3,272 households (or 22 percent of all households) earned less than 30 percent of the Median Family Income (FMI), according to the CHAS. Of these, 83 percent experienced housing problems such as cost burden or overcrowding. The challenges associated with poverty - stress, strained family relationships, substandard housing, lower educational attainment, limited employment skills, unaffordable child care, and transportation difficulties - make it hard for low-income families to obtain and maintain employment, and therefore housing and basic needs. Expanded discussion on income characteristics and housing conditions of the City's household population can be found in the Housing Market Analysis Section of this plan. There are many causes of poverty, including low income -earning capability, low educational attainments and job skills, discrimination, and/or personal limitations (e.g., developmental and physical disabilities, mental illness, drug/alcohol dependency, etc.). The two leading causes of poverty, however, are low-income earning capability and low educational attainment or job skills. These top causes can be addressed through programs that combine education and training with job search preparation for individuals. The City seeks to reduce the number of people living in poverty (extremely low- income households earning less than 30 percent of the AMI) by continuing to implement its anti -poverty strategy which includes providing a number of programs, including housing assistance, supportive services, economic development assistance, and job training opportunities. In addition, the City's anti -poverty strategy includes policies and programs that aim to improve coordination and collaboration among City departments and non-profit agencies that provide health and social services, employment training, legal assistance, and other support services for low-income persons. On this endeavor to reduce poverty, the City is pursuing the following programs: Redevelopment/Job Creation and Retention • National City Redevelopment Project Area • National City Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee • Supporting existing and the formation of new business improvement districts in support of job retention and creation Employment Training • Regional Occupational Program • San Diego Workforce Partnership • Local Employment Development Department (EDD) • Crisis House • National City Higher Education Center • Education Village -A collaboration with Southwestern Community College District Five -Year Strategic Plan 80 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City 2. Poverty Reduction Many of the Consolidated Plan programs strive to increase self-sufficiency of low- income families and reduce the number of households with incomes below the poverty line. The Community Development Needs Table (Appendix A) provides an indication of how many households and individuals in the City will be assisted by the anti -poverty strategies of providing more affordable housing and public services. Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Coordination (91.315 [k]) 1. (States only) Describe the strategy to coordinate the Low-income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) with the development of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate -income families. Five -Year Strategic Plan LIHTC Coordination response: This section is applicable to states only; no response is required. Specific Special Needs Objectives (91.215) 1. Describe the priorities and specific objectives the jurisdiction hopes to achieve over a specified time period. 2. Describe how Federal, State, and local public and; private sector resources that are reasonably expected to be available will be used to address identified needs for the period covered by the strategic plan. Five -Year Non -homeless Special Needs Analysis response: 1. Priorities and Specific Objectives Certain segments of the population may have difficulty finding decent, affordable housing and accessing community facilities and services due to their special needs. These "special needs" populations include the elderly, frail elderly, persons with severe mental illness, persons with developmental or physical disabilities, persons with drug and/or alcohol addiction, and persons with AIDS and their families. The Non -Homeless Special Needs Table in Appendix A includes population estimates for each of these groups. National City will assist special needs populations through the provision of housing programs, community services, and improvements to facilities (including ADA improvements). These priorities and specific objectives are outlined in the Specific Five -Year Strategic Plan 81 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Housing Objectives Section and the Priority Community Development Needs Section, as well as the Needs and Objectives Tables in Appendix A. 2. Use of Federal, State, and Local Resources The County proposes to use CDBG funds to provide supportive services for low- and moderate -income and other special needs populations as funding is available. Housing needs for persons with HIV/AIDS will be addressed through the HOPWA program, for which the City of San Diego is the recipient on behalf of the County. It is expected that National City and a variety of human service and housing agencies will pursue funding from private, local, state, and federal resources to assist with their delivery of services for those with special needs. The resources that can reasonably be expected to be available to assist persons with special needs include federal (CDBG and HOME), state grants, and local public and private sector resources. It is anticipated that these resources will be used to support the housing and case management services of those in need. More detail on these sources is provided in the Community Development Section. Non -homeless Special Needs (91.205 [d] and 91.210 [d]) Analysis (including HOPWA) *Please also refer to the Non -homeless Special Needs Table in the Needs.xls workbook. 1. Estimate, to the extent practicable, the number of persons in various subpopulations that are not homeless but may require housing or supportive services, including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families), persons with alcohol or other drug addiction, victims of domestic violence, and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify and describe their supportive housing needs. The jurisdiction can use the Non -Homeless Special Needs Table (formerly Table 18) of their Consolidated Plan to help identify these needs. 2. Identify the priority housing and supportive service needs of persons who are not homeless but may or may not require supportive housing, i.e., elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families), persons with alcohol or other drug addiction by using the Non -homeless. Special Needs Table. 3. Describe the basis for assigning the priority given to each category of priority needs. 4. Identify any obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 5. To the extent information is available, describe the facilities and services that assist persons who are not homeless but require supportive housing, and programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing. 6. If the jurisdiction plans to use HOME or other tenant based rental assistance to assist one or more of these subpopulations, it must justify the need for such assistance in the plan. Five -Year Strategic Plan 82 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Five -Year Non -homeless Special Needs Analysis response: 1. Non -homeless Special Needs Groups Special needs groups include the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families), persons with alcohol or other drug addiction, and victims of domestic violence. Each of these groups is discussed below. Please also see Housing Needs Section for more information on the population characteristics and housing needs of special needs groups. In addition, Appendix A contains the Non -Homeless Special Needs Table that illustrates the number of persons in various subpopulations that are not homeless but may require housing or supportive services. Elderly and Frail Elderly The population over 65 years of age is considered elderly and presents four main concerns: limited income, health care costs, transportation, and housing. Frail elderly includes the population over 65 years of age who suffer from various disabilities. Elderly persons are usually retired and living on a fixed income. Due to the higher rate of illness, regular and easily accessible health care is important. Many seniors rely on public transit to shop and visit doctors. With respect to housing, many seniors live alone and have limited discretionary income to support higher housing costs. These characteristics indicate a need for smaller, lower -cost housing with easy access to transit and health care. Persons with Disabilities Special needs for persons with disabilities fall into two general categories: physical design to address mobility impairments and social, educational, and medical support to address developmental and mental impairments. Physically Disabled Physically disabled people have several unique needs. First, special construction features tailored to a person's disability are necessary to facilitate access and use of housing and public facilities. The location of housing and availability of transportation is also important because disabled people may require access to a variety of social and specialized services. San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) Paratransit is a lift -equipped curb -to -curb service designed for transit riders with disabilities that prevent them from using regular bus or trolley services. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), MTS ADA Paratransit provides services to the same areas and during the same days and hours of service that the MTS fixed route and trolley operate. Street improvements, including curb cuts to facilitate wheel chair access, are also important to provide physically disabled persons with safe access to destinations. Five -Year Strategic Plan 83 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Developmentally Disabled Many developmentally disabled persons can live and work independently within a conventional housing environment. More severely disabled individuals require a group living environment where supervision and services are provided. The most severely affected individuals may require an institutional environment where medical attention and physical therapy are included. Because developmental disabilities exist before adulthood, the first issue in supportive housing for the developmentally disabled is the transition from the person's living situation as a child to an appropriate level of independence as an adult. Service needs may also include employment training, transportation assistance, and general supportive services as a component of care for persons with developmental disabilities. Severely Mentally III Mental health services are a primary need for persons who are severely mentally ill. Persons with mental illness without adequate treatment, ongoing support and stable housing are often homeless, use emergency rooms for crisis medical needs, and are disproportionately involved in the criminal justice system. Housing is an integral part of a system of care for the severely mentally ill because the prime support network and focus of daily living activities is associated with the residence. Stable and affordable housing is an ongoing need for persons with mental illness, who may be unemployed or underemployed. The major barrier to stable and decent housing for the seriously mentally ill is the availability of affordable housing. Affordable housing for persons with severe mental illness also often need to be linked to services that provide respite care when mental health crises occur. San Diego County maintains a Network of Care for Behavioral Health, a comprehensive resource for individuals, families and agencies concerned with behavioral health. Persons with HIV/AIDS The 2008 HIV/AIDS Needs Assessment, completed by the San Diego HIV Health Services Planning Council, highlights several specific areas of unmet need for people living with HIV/AIDS in San Diego County. In all, 840 consumers were surveyed for this needs assessment. HIV/AIDS medications, primary HIV medical care, case management, dental care, and permanent or ongoing assistance with housing and shelter were ranked as the top five most important services among respondents. In San Diego County, the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) program and the Ryan White HIV/AIDS program are the primary federal resources used to promote housing and health stability for people living with HIV/AIDS. As people living with HIV/AIDS often need both housing and services, and access to services supports housing stability, it is important to coordinate services, funding, and planning between HOPWA and Ryan White programs. There are three free HIV -test clinics located in San Diego County: • Public Health Services HIV Services-ATS 3852 Rosecrans St, Suite B San Diego, CA 92110 (619) 296-2120 Five -Year Strategic Plan 84 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City • San Diego LGBT Community Center, Health Services 2313 El Cajon Blvd. San Diego, CA 92103 (619) 260-6380 • Central Region Public Health Center 5202 University Avenue San Diego, CA 92105 (619) 229-5400 Through the Ryan White program, HIV/AIDS services are coordinated throughout the county. Core services provided include HIV primary care, medical specialty, HIV - related medications, dental care, mental health, substance abuse treatment and client management. In addition, support and early intervention services are available that help to link and retain people living with HIV/AIDS in care. These services collectively form a countywide network that identifies newly infected individuals and members of underserved, hard -to -reach emerging populations and disproportionately impacted communities of color who are aware of their status but out of care. This network then immediately links these individuals through assisted referral to HIV primary care and other needed services. Essential basic needs and other support services stabilize living situations to sustain quality of life and promote access to and retention in HIV primary care. Services provided through the Ryan White program include emergency housing, rental subsidies, home -delivered meals, medical transportation services, emergency financial assistance, legal services, etc. Persons with Alcohol or Other Drug Addiction (AODA) Primary services needed by persons with AODA include health care and detoxification programs. In June 2007, San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency, in collaboration with the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs and the San Diego State University Research Foundation, implemented a program at Scripps Mercy Hospital and the UCSD Medical Center to reduce the toll of alcohol and drug use on emergency rooms and trauma centers. Over the course of its first year, the program expanded to 12 sites across the county. Now, 15 bilingual health educators conduct alcohol and drug screenings through the California Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment Program. During the program's first year, health educators conducted 29,000 voluntary screenings of patients 18 years and older. Of those, more than 27,000 were brief interventions and education of people with low to moderate risk of substance abuse, the program's target population. The rest, about 2,000, were people with high or severe risk of alcohol and drug abuse. They were referred to treatment. Statistics related to the program reveal that the program has made a significant difference; increasing the number of people who did not use alcohol or drugs for 30 days by 200 percent. Victims of Domestic Violence In addition to the need for emergency shelter and potential subsequent affordable housing, supportive case management services can be extremely helpful to break the cycle of violence for victims of domestic violence. These services can include counseling, court accompaniment, information and referrals, and personal advocacy. Five -Year Strategic Plan 85 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City In addition, emergency and/or transitional shelter, in a confidential place, is often necessary to ensure victims' safety. A variety of resources exist in San Diego to serve victims of domestic violence and make efforts to reduce domestic violence. The County's Probation Department has developed teams and strategies to reduce domestic violence. The County of San Diego Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team meets monthly to review intimate partner domestic violence -related fatalities in order to develop strategies, policy, and program recommendations aimed at preventing future deaths. Case findings are compiled, risk factors identified, and determination is made if the case was interveneable at the individual/family, agency, and public policy levels. Recommendations from aggregate data are then made for strategies, policy, and systems changes. The Probation Department also maintains a Treatment and Intervention Committee and a Treatment Evaluation and Monitoring Committee. The county is also home to the San Diego Domestic Violence Council (SDDVC), established in 1989 by a countywide network of battered women's programs, criminal justice agencies, and other organizations and individuals who shared the common goal of wanting to end violence against women and children. The SDDVC is made up of over 600 member organizations. The mission of the SDDVC is to develop, promote, and enhance creative prevention and effective intervention initiatives, which will reduce the amount of violence in intirnate relationships: to bring people together, in coalitions and committees, to build healthy families in San Diego County. 2. Priority Non -Homeless Special Needs Special needs groups with high priority housing and supportive service needs within the County include youth and families. The City devotes most of its CDBG funding for public services (capped at 15 percent of the total allocation) toward supportive services for the City's youth. Refer to the Non -Homeless Special Needs Table in Appendix A for five-year and one- year objectives for special needs groups, including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS, and persons with substance abuse problems. 3. Basis for Assigning Priorities Input from residents, community stakeholders, service providers, and City staff helped to establish and identify the specific needs of special needs populations in the community that the allocation of CDBG and HOME funds will support in the next five years. See also responses to #2 of the General Questions Section for more thorough discussion on the basis for assigning priorities. 4. Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs One of the main obstacles to meeting underserved community service needs is inadequate funding. Many public service activities have been particularly hard hit by funding cuts at the federal and state government levels as well as from private foundations. State funding sources for community development programs are also Five -Year Strategic Plan 86 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City expected to be limited in the coming years. Limitations on public services expenditures, as well as the necessity of providing funding for other necessary community improvements and housing, present obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 5. Supportive Housing Facilities and Services Some persons with disabilities require specialized care and supervision. Licensed community care facilities offer housing and specialized services for children and adults with disabilities. According to the California State Department of Social Services, 22 state -licensed facilities in National City provide 24-hour care to people with disabilities. In addition, three non -housing adult day care facilities exist in the City (Table 24). Table 24: Licensed Community Care Facilities Type of Facility Facilities Capacity Adult Day Care 3 170 Adult Residential Care 11 62 Elderly Residential Care 11 398 Total 25 630 Notes: 1. The specialized care columns for the type of disability are not mutually exclusive. 2. Adult day care facilities provide programs for frail elderly and developmentally disabled and/or mentally disabled adults in a day care setting. 3. Adult residential facilities provide care for adults with various disabilities or disorders. 4. Elderly residential facilities provide care for persons age 60 and above. The residents in these facilities require varying levels of personal care and protective supervision. Source: California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, 2010 6. HOME and Other Tenant -Based Rental Assistance The City does not anticipate using HOME funds for Tenant -Based Rental Assistance. Five -Year Strategic Plan 87 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) *Please also refer to the HOPWA Table in the Needs.xls workbook. 1 The Plan includes a description of the activities to be undertaken with its HOPWA Program funds to address priority unmet housing needs for the eligible population. Activities will assist persons who are not homeless but require supportive housing, such as efforts to prevent low-income individuals and families from becoming homeless and may address the housing needs of persons who are homeless in order to help homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent living., The plan would identify any obstacles to meeting underserved needs and summarize the priorities and specific objectives, describing how funds made available will be used to address identified needs. 2. The Plan must establish annual HOPWA output goals for the planned number of households to be assisted during the year in: (1) short-term rent, mortgage and utility payments to avoid homelessness; (2) rental assistance programs; and (3) in housing facilities, such as community residences and SRO dwellings, where funds are used to develop and/or operate these facilities. The plan can a/so describe the special features or needs being addressed, such as support for persons who are homeless or chronically homeless. These outputs are to be used in connection with an assessment of client outcomes for achieving housing stability, reduced risks of homelessness and improved access to care. 3. For housing facility projects being developed, a target date for the completion of each development activity must be included and information on the continued use of these units for the eligible population based on their stewardship requirements (e.g. within the ten-year use periods for projects involving acquisition,new construction or substantial rehabilitation). 4. The Plan includes an explanation of how the funds will be allocated including a description of the geographic area in which assistance will be directed and the rationale for these geographic allocations and priorities. Include the name of each project sponsor, the zip code for the primary area(s) of planned activities, amounts committed to that sponsor, and whether the sponsor is a faith -based and/or grassroots organization. 5. The Plan describes the role of the lead jurisdiction in the eligible metropolitan statistical area (EMSA), involving (a) consultation to develop a metropolitan -wide strategy for addressing the needs of persons with HIV/AIDS and their families living throughout the EMSA with the other jurisdictions' within the EMSA; -(b)the standards and procedures to be used to monitor HOPWA Program activities in order to ensure compliance by project sponsors of the requirements of the program. 6. The Plan includes the certifications relevant to the HOPWA Program. Five -Year Specific HOPWA Objectives response: No response is required; the City does not receive HOPWA funding.

Include any Strategic Plan information that was not covered by a narrative in any other section. Background and Trends Population Characteristics As of the 2000 Census, National City was home to 54,260 people. The California Department of Finance estimated that the population grew four percent over the last decade to 56,522 in 2009. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) projects that the population of National City will grow at a much faster rate in the next ten years, increasing by 22 percent by 2020. As indicted in Table 25 below, National City is expected to be one of the fastest growing communities in the San Diego region in the upcoming decade. Age Characteristics The median age of residents in National City was 28.7 according to the 2000 Census. At that point, persons between the ages of 25 and 55 were the predominate age group. Persons over 55 represented the smallest proportion of the City's population. The American Community Survey (ACS) is an element of the U.S. Census Bureau that collects and produces population and housing information, based on estimates, more frequently than the decennial Census. According to the ACS 2006-2.008 estimate, the National City median age increased to 29.1, with little change to the age composition of the population during the past decade.

According to the California Employment Development Department, in 2000 National City had 20,500 residents in the labor force with 18,800 employed, resulting in an unemployment rate of 7.9 percent. In 2008, the City's labor force consisted of 23,800 with 21,000 employed - an unemployment rate of 11.9 percent. The City's unemployment rate has consistently increased in the last decade, and in November 2009 the City's unemployment rate was at 19.5 percent. According to the 2000 Census, almost half of National City's labor force held jobs in the service industry. Much like San Diego County, National City's distribution of employment consisted primarily of service, manufacturing, and retail trade jobs. These sectors traditionally generate lower -paying jobs than other industries, resulting in a need for affordable housing. Table 26 below shows the distribution of employment by industry for National City and San Diego County in 2000.

Of the 18 cities in San Diego County, National City is expected to have a more modest growth rates at 22 percent for the same projection period. Racial and Ethnic Characteristics National City continues to be very ethnically diverse with Hispanics and Asian/Pacific Islanders being the largest population groups. In 2000, National City was the only city in San Diego County with a majority Hispanic population. According to 2009 SANDAG estimates, the Hispanic population has continued to grow, and National City has the largest Hispanic population majority in San Diego County (62.6 percent). The City of Vista is a close second with a Hispanic population of 61 percent. The Asian and Pacific Islander population is the next most prevalent group in National City, representing over 19 percent of the population in 2009.

Attachment t2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City Appendix B: Public Outreach The National City 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan has been developed through a collaborative process including participation of residents, service providers, and City staff. Three primary methods were used to solicit public input for the Consolidated Plan: A community meeting was held on December 2, 2009 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center, where participants were introduced to the Consolidated Plan process and asked to discuss community needs. Invitations and flyers were made in English and Spanish, and circulated to community groups and local service providers. A community survey, which assessed housing and community development needs, was distributed to residents and service providers. Surveys were made available at community centers and public counters, distributed by City Staff at the public library, distributed by Sweetwater Union High School employees to students and employees, and distributed at the December 2, 2009 community meeting. In total, 120 surveys were returned from National City residents. These surveys were analyzed and provided input to develop the needs and objectives in the Consolidated Plan. Service provider interviews were conducted with representatives of six special needs groups. This process was intended to reach agencies that work with lower income persons and those with special needs to supplement the survey and public meetings associated with the Consolidated Plan preparation. Community Meeting National City conducted a community meeting to gather information and solicit input regarding community needs and priorities. The following are the meeting minutes from the meeting.

For each topic, the respondent was asked to indicate unmet needs that warrant expenditure of public funds by checking a "priority need" level from Lowest to Highest need. In tabulating the survey results, "1" is used to denote the lowest need and "4" to denote the highest need. An average score was calculated for each need category; the higher averages higher (and closer to 4) represent the community's assessment of that category as more in need. Community Survey Results Overall, 119 residents responded to the Housing and Community Development Needs Survey. Table B-1 indicates the rank that each unmet need received.

This process was intended to reach agencies that work with lower income persons and those with special needs to supplement the public meetings and hearings associated with the Consolidated Plan preparation. One-on-one interviews were conducted with the following service providers and non- profit agencies: • National City Collaborative • ECS Head Start • Townspeople • La Maestra Community Health Center • ARC of San Diego • St. Vincent de Paul Joan Villages A summary of comments from the service provider interviews is included below. The notes are divided by service provider. National City Collaborative Services provided and recipients • National City Collaborative (NCC) offers social services, health, and education programs for everyone in the community. Primary recipients are families with school age children (grades K-12). • NCC works with the two school districts in National City and is funded by school districts and South Bay Community Services. Common problems and issues • High need for academic support for school age children. • Case management for families. Affects of increasing foreclosures • The increased level of stress associated with the loss of homes and jobs have had a big impact on National City families. • NCC is receiving more calls from schools because children are academically falling further behind or acting up due to the stressors at home. • NCC has also noted an increase in domestic violence and divorce among families. Type of support needed • Funding o Partnerships to make services accessible and known to the community. o Expansion of services and staffing (develop positions such as mobilization service/agent or service coordinator). • Staffing and Marketing Assistance o Need assistance to staff and market services. The connections are in place, but not the staffing or funding to meet the needs of the community. • Inter -Agency Coordination o There is an inter -agency disconnect and so the NCC is not widely known in the community. We do not have the manpower to cover the area and let Appendix B: Public Outreach B-9 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City the community know about the programs. Working together with the City would increase the feasibility of meeting the specific needs of National City. Programs and services that would be expanded if given funding and support • Whatever the City identifies as the need they want to meet would be expanded with additional funding. NCC has connections in place - if the City's focus is medical services for families or elderly, then NCC would coordinate with the appropriate agencies and develop a program to meet that need. The funding would need to provide the staffing and marketing for that specific program. Critical Services and Programs • Affordable afterschool youth programs are a critical need in National City. Unfortunately, there are many families in the City that cannot afford programs like the Boys and Girls Club or the YMCA. NCC has free afterschool programs available, and would like to expand these programs to meet the increased need in the community. • Affordable housing is another critical need. There are so many residents that have lost their jobs and cannot afford housing for their families. Model Programs and Communities • It has been the school districts that primarily support the NCC. There are not many cities that partner and support collaborative agencies. NCC would like to establish a relationship and get the City involved in our efforts to provide services for the community. NCC will be applying for funding programs through the City to help us expand our services this coming year and the City has made efforts recently to get involved with NCC. NCC is looking forward to forging a connection with the City to provide better services to the residents. ECS Head Start Services provided and recipients • ECS Head Start provides services to 1,800 kids ages 0 to 5 (all below the poverty level) through the Kindergarten Readiness Programs • ECS also provides services to families, including programs to address: o Mental health issues o Disabilities o General health and nutrition o Education Common problems and issues • Affordable dental health care is difficult to find for many National City residents. Access to affordable dental care is limited; ECS Head Start usually refers families to dental care providers. Dental education is also lacking. It is a big struggle to find clients affordable dental care and to educate them about dental health importance. • Facilities are needed to expand early head start programs (the largest need is for the 0-2 age group). ECS maintains a waiting list for early headstart programs, which currently has 300 people on it. • Emergency food is a large need, which ECS Head Start provides, but often has to refer clients to local food banks as well. • Affordable housing is an ongoing need. Appendix B: Public Outreach B-10 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City • Employment assistance is an increasing need as unemployment continues to rise. City -funded programs/services/facilities used by clients • NCC Family Resource Center • City Library Affects of increasing foreclosures • There has been a large increase in the number of homeless families - ECS Heacl Start refers many families to emergency shelters and transitional housing. • Requests for emergency food have also significantly increased. Type of support needed • Funding o Currently ECS is federally -funded, but funding for expansion of programs would be very helpful. o ECS Head Start is looking at participating in the City's CDBG programs for renovating commercial buildings and expanding existing programs. Programs and services that would be expanded if given funding and support • Early childhood programs (ages 0 to 2) • Early intervention programs for families o Proper care programs (medical, dental, health, food) Critical Services and Programs • Job training and educational services are a critical need in the community, to help people be marketable and employable. Townspeople Services provided and recipients • Townspeople provides services to HIV/AIDS persons who are low-income or homeless, including housing (in various properties/buildings) and support services such as referrals to service providers and information about rights and accessibility of a wide range of services. Common problems and issues • Access to affordable housing for low-income persons with HIV/AIDS. Affects of increasing foreclosures • The need for housing remains an issue for persons with HIV/AIDS. Type of support needed • Funding o To continue rehabbing and remodeling housing to accommodate clients. Programs and services that would be expanded if given funding and support • Housing services Critical Services and Programs • Affordable housing and assistance to organizations that focus on meeting the housing need. Appendix B: Public Outreach B-11 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City La Maestra Community Health Center Services provided and recipients • La Maestra Community Health Center provides health services to very low- income persons - all patients are well below the poverty level. Specific needs groups La Maestra serves include: o Elderly: Specialty services are offered for people over 60 years of age, patients with chronic diseases and multiple diseases, and patients with signs of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. o Children o Families • Services provided are primarily medical, however La Maestra also provides: o Social services o Health education o Mental health services Common problems and issues • La Maestra still takes in MediCal and Healthy Families whereas many other medical facilities and doctors do not accept these anymore. • There are hardly any programs for assisting adult women with basic medical care (obstetrician/gynecological care, general medical, and preventative care, etc.). Affects of increasing foreclosures • An overall increase in demand for medical services has been observed as more and more people are uninsured due to job loss. The rising number of foreclosures is symptomatic of rising unemployment rates - more and more people cannot afford to pay even the minimum sliding scale fee for a medical consultation ($35). As a result, La Maestra has changed how sliding scale fees are determined and collected. Sometimes people are given the opportunity to make monthly or weekly payments for services, and others are given promissory notes. • Patients that need to be seen regularly due chronic illnesses are not returning for follow-up care due to lack of money to pay for services. As such, continual care of people with chronic illnesses is affected. Type of support needed • Funding o Funding is needed to purchase a new building for the La Maestra clinic. Currently, the facility La Maestra operates out of is too small and unaffordable. Assistance from the City to purchase a new building would enable La Maestra to more effectively serve the residents of the community by providing more office space for social service workers and programs, medical care, and room for health educational programs. Programs and services that would be expanded if given funding and support • Medical programs available to women • Mental health programs • Social services Critical Services and Programs • Health programs o Adult women do not usually qualify for MediCal so funding for this group would be helpful. Appendix B: Public Outreach B-12 Attachment #2 Draft FY2011-2015 Consolidated Plan City of National City c Mental health programs are needed. • Social services c La Maestra provides counseling for finding homes. Community health workers provide information and assistance to people with finding a place to live, filling out forms, etc. Many rental facilities do not rent to larger families and so the families may have to split up in order to qualify to rent. This makes it stressful on the families and more costly. Larger and affordable units that accommodate larger families would be instrumental in addressing this need. ARC of San Diego Services provided and recipients • ARC of San Diego serves persons with developmental disabilities, including 25,000 children and adults in San Diego County. • Services provided include: c Early childhood intervention c Training for persons with disabilities so they can get jobs o Physical therapy o Respite services o Housing Common problems and issues • Lack of housing • Limited employment opportunities City -funded programs/services/facilities used by clients • Senior Centers • City Library Affects of increasing foreclosures • Increasing foreclosures have generally not had too much of an impact on persons with developmental disabilities. Most of the people that served by ARC of San Diego do not own their homes (most rent). Most of the folks ARC of San Diego assists need to be in a type of assisted living environment. Type of support needed • Funding for transportation or improved transportation network for disabled is needed. Programs and services that would be expanded if given funding and support • Transportation services • Capital projects (facilities that need to be replaced and remodeled) • Operations of programs Critical Services and Programs • Critical needs are for funding of services and capital projects. There is an ARC facility in National City, but there aren't any programs running out of it due to lack of funding.

There are not enough facilities for the amount of homeless people, so people often get discouraged. • Misinformation o There is also a lot of misinformation out there so people are confused about the services available, rights, and qualifications for programs. • Lack of transportation options City -funded programs/services/facilities used by clients • St. Vincent de Paul works with other agencies to have service providers on site to provide assistance (e.g., legal aide, Veterans Affairs representatives, City of San Diego housing facility). • Also St. Vincent de Paul partners with medical groups for representatives on site to provide medical services. There is an on -site clinic. Affects of increasing foreclosures • St. Vincent de Paul has witnessed a 25 to 50 percent increase in demands. • People are staying in the programs longer.

ATTACHMENTS: Explanation Z. Resolution 3. Staff Report to the Traffic Safety Committee (February 10, 2010) Explanation Mr. Andrew Held, representative for the Harborview Project located at 404 E. 8th Street, has requested installation of 1-hour time -restricted parking and 3-minute passenger loading on D Avenue between E. 8th Street and E. 9th Street. The 1- hour time -restricted parking is proposed to provide increased parking turnover for the project's commercial uses. Two white curb passenger loading spaces are required for U.S. Postal Service mail carrier parking to access the mailboxes. The white curb spaces may also be used for passenger loading of residents and guests. The east side of the block, adjacent to the project, currently has unrestricted curbside parking. The west side of the block currently has 2-hour time -restricted parking. Staff surveyed the site and agrees that the proposed changes to curbside parking on the 800 block of D Avenue are warranted (see exhibit in the attached Staff Report to the Traffic Safety Committee). Staff recommends the following parking enhancements for the 800 block of D Avenue: 1) Install two, 20-foot white curb 3-minute passenger loading spaces on the east side of the block for mail carrier parking and passenger loading. 2) Install 1-hour time -restricted parking on the east side of the block. 3) Remove and replace 2-hour time -restricted parking with 1-hour time -restricted parking on the west side of the block. 4) Install 40 feet of red curb "no parking" on the east side of the block at E. 8th Street to provide clearance for vehicles approaching the intersection from the south. 5) Install 20 feet of red curb "no parking" on the east side of the block at E. 9th Street to provide sight distance for vehicles exiting the Harborview parking garage.

The project is currently under construction and we anticipate a completion date of approximately January 31, 2009. One of the benefits of the project is the delivery of approximately 12,905 square feet of new retail and commercial space to the downtown National City arca. A critical component of successful commercial projects is the ability to provide ample parking for businesses and its patrons. In conjunction with the successful completion of the Harborview project we respectfully request that all street parking on both sides of D Avenue between 8th Street and 91h Street in National City be designated and marked as one (1) hour parking. We believe this will help facilitate providing for available parking spaces for patrons of the commercial spaces, and help make Harborview another asset to National City. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call me at 317- 250-3123 or email me at aheld@pedcor.net Very Best Regards. Andrew J. Held 3 One Pedcor Square 770 3rd Avenue, S.W.

Kesolution 3. Staff Report to the Traffic Safety Committee (February 10, 2010) Explanation City Engineering evaluated the intersection of Highland Avenue and E. 22"d Street for safety enhancements based on reports of accidents between pedestrians and vehicles at this location. Review of traffic collision records indicated one "reported" accident in recent years between a pedestrian crossing Highland Avenue at E. 22"d Street and a vehicle traveling southbound. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidelines recommend physical enhancements to "uncontrolled" crosswalks on four -lane, higher-speed/higher- volume roadways, such as median islands for refuge. Since this type of enhancement would require Toss of parking on both sides of the street to obtain adequate width for construction of a median island, staff recommends redirecting pedestrians one block to the north to cross at the signalized intersection of Highland Avenue and E. 21st Street. Pedestrians also have the option of heading g south two blocks to the signalized intersection of Highland Avenue and E. 24 Street. Staff has also coordinated with the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) to relocate the two bus stops at Highland Avenue and E. 22"d Street to Highland Avenue and E. 21 st Street to improve safety and spacing between stops. Staff recommends removing both uncontrolled crosswalks at the intersection of Highland Avenue and E. 22nd Street and installing barricades with signs directing pedestrians to cross at the signalized intersection of Highland Avenue and E. 21 st Street to improve safety.

On June 18, 2009 City Engineering publicly advertised a Request for Proposal (posted request in area newspapers, engineering journals and on the City's website) for Civil Engineering and Landscape Architecture services for final design, preparation of plans, specifications & estimates, and public outreach for the Project. On July 9, 2009 City Engineering received Statements of Qualifications from 22 consultant teams. A five -member review panel consisting of staff from City Engineering, Planning and Redevelopment evaluated the submittals based on qualifications. Based on the results of the preliminary evaluations, five consultant teams were selected for interviews. Following the interviews, two consultant teams were selected as "finalists" and were asked to submit detailed proposals. After a final round of review the Harris & Associates / KTU+A team was selected as the "most qualified" team for the job. Harris & Associates will be the "prime consultant", providing Civil Engineering and Project Management services for the project. KTU+A will be the lead "sub - consultant", providing Landscape Architecture and Public Outreach services for the project. The cost proposal for the consultant team's services is $299,814. The timeframe to complete these services in preparation for construction is estimated at 14 months from Notice to Proceed. 1 AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AND HARRIS & ASSOCIATES, INC.

I Manager — San Diego v i Ce 4rest 9 10 City's Standard Agreement —June 2008 revision CITY OF NATIONAL CITY \AO' r'1l\ ,J 8TH Street Corridor Smart Growth Revitalization Methods Proposed to Accomplish the Work Project Understanding and Approach The City of National City has successfully received funding to transform the 8th Street corridor. The revitalization arca begins at the 8th Street Trolley Station and extends east along 8th Street until D Avenue. The Smart Growth Revitalization project will provide a pedestrian- and hicycle-friendly environment where students can grab a coffee and study, visitors can leisurely shop along 8th Street, and residents are able to live, work and shop in the local community. The project will provide the physical and visual connection that is needed to draw people to the "heart of the city," National City downtown, from the Trolley Station. Since our initial interview with City staff, the I-Iarris KTU+A Team has invested a great effort to further review the project details. This effort included: • Reviewed project requirements as it pertains to smart growth urban design improvements, and funding commitments as outlined in the SANDAG Transnet Capital Improvements Guideline • Identified and addressed project constraints relating to improvements within MTS and Caltrans right-of-way • Reviewed proposed traffic impacts as it pertains to traffic circulation and traffic channelization on 8th Street between National City Boulevard and D Avenue • Evaluated available construction budget vs. proposed project improvements Smart Growth Urban Design The proposed project will implement the downtown vision as it is presented in the City's approved National City Downtown Specific Plan adopted in February 2005. The proposed improvements will coordinate the urban design treatments including lighting fixtures, banners, furnishings, paving patterns, paving materials, entry gateways, public art, and railing lighting at the underpass to create one cohesive design theme. Our approach to accomplish this goal is facilitating a series of public outreach meetings to select the National City design theme that will he used throughout the 8th Street Revitalization Corridor. The Project Team will provide two design themes and will work with the community to come up with a third design theme. The public meetings will result in the selection of a design theme and through this process, gain community approval and support. Project Constrains within MTS & Caltrans Right of Way MTS Right of Way Based on our conversations with Mr. Jim Neal, Program Manager for the blue line, orange line and the downtown segments, Mr. John Haggerty-MTS Engineering Manager and Mr. Dave Ragland- SANDAG Project Manager for the three line upgrades, and research with MTS staff, the Harris Harris & Associates. 11 Pagel CITY OF NATIONAL CITY 8TH Street Corridor Smart Growth Revitalization KTU+A team has learned that the MTS 8th Street Trolley Station will be receiving future upgrades within the next two years due to the necessity of bringing all trolley stations up to level hoarding capability (8" above the track elevation). The 8th Street Trolley Station will receive the following upgrades under MTS' improvement plan: - Potentially move the platform north 50'-0" due to new safety regulations - Potentially move the bus transfers to a different location along the curb or increase thc capacity of thc more western (north side) stop - New platforms with shelters will be provided on both sides of the tracks - Parking lot will be improved and other site amenities will be added - Connection improvements that originate beyond the MTS right-of-way to the station - Replacement of missing sidewalk segments and hardscape improvements that will make the station more user-friendly - Bring all sidewalks and pedestrian access to ADA compliance As a result of receiving this information, we recommend that any proposed improvements within the Trolley Station plaza be deferred to the proposed MTS trolley stations upgrade plans, since any improvements constructed with this project could potentially be removed during MTS stations' upgrade. The future Trolley Station improvements will be funded by MTS, which in turn will help the Smart Growth construction budget as more dollars will be redirected to address needed improvements in the remaining segments of 8th Street. Therefore, we are adjusting our project approach to refocus the proposed improvements effort away from the Trolley Station plaza and limit it to the walkway connection leading up to the station. All improvements identified in the 8th Street Smart Growth project will be coordinated with MTS to be included with the proposed Trolley Station Upgrade. Because of this change in the scope, David Evans and Associates will not be needed on the team. Caltrans Right -of -Way Proposed improvements on 8th Street within Caltrans right-of-way, from east of the Trolley Station to west of Roosevelt Avenue are necessary to improve the physical and visual link, and increase project's users safety. All proposed improvements within this segment will be subject to Caltrans review and approval and is critical to the project schedule. To properly understand Caltrans requirements and provide the City with realistic expectations, we contact Caltrans Development Review Branch to address Caltrans requirements and procedures in reviewing and approving these improvements. Based on meetings and correspondence with Caltrans, the proposed project will be required to address the following: - • Any reduced traffic lane width (less than 12) as identified in the current proposed concept will require the submission of a design exception prior to applying for an encroachment permit • Class IT Bike lanes must meet the requiretents indicated in Caltrans Highway Design Manual and California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) • Any proposed lighting improvements within the State's right-of-way will need to comply with Caltrans Requirement on Safety Lighting Design 6 I Harris & Associates. 12 Page2 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY 8114 Street Corridor Smart Growth Revitalization One of the challenges associated with the conceptual design is to provide Class II bike lanes within the State's right-of-way, while maintaining minitnum 12' lane widths within the available curb -to curb width. In our discussions with Mr. Joel Sims with Caltrans, we learned that similar challenges with maintaining minimum 12' lanes are encountered by Caltrans on the I-5/ 24th Street interchange modifications. For the I-5 interchange project, Caltrans in collaboration with the City is evaluating eliminating the existing sidewalk on the south side of the roadway to provide for needed additional roadway width while maintaining standard lane widths. The project team has evaluated a similar approach to the I-5 interchange project on 8th Street within the State's right of way and it appears that this could a viable alternative (sec exhibit attached). It is our recommendation that alternative be further evaluated and presented to Caltrans early on in the process. We also recommend revisiting adding a class II Bike lane once a dialogue is started with Caltrans as costs and schedule impacts are identified during the project. Traffic Impacts The implantation of the Smart Growth Revitalization project will require the evaluation of the project affects on the traffic circulation and traffic channclization on 8th Street between D Avenue . and National City Boulevard. The following will present our preliminary evaluation and analysis in evaluating these two issues. Traffic Circulation The proposed project will require lane reduction on 8th Street from National City Blvd. to D Avenue from four (4) through lanes to two (2) through lanes. To achieve this lane reduction, dropping of the number 2-lanes for the east and west bound directions at National City Boulevard and D Avenue consecutively will be required. As a result of the lane reduction in this segment of 8th Street, traffic volume in the east and west bound directions will be diverted to the north and south of 8th Street. The project team looked at the diversion of the eastbound traffic along 8th Street at National City Boulevard, and the impact of this diversion at the intersection of Plaza and National City Boulevard. Our analysis was based on a conservative assumption of 10% to 40% diversion for northbound and southhound consecutively. Our preliminary analysis included evaluation of the following scenarios. • Existing volumes with existing 4-lanes on 8th Street (From National City Boulevard to D Avenue) with protected left turn phasing, ■ Proposed 2 lanes on 8th Street for protected -permissive phasing change • Proposed 2 lanes on 8th Street for 2030 traffic volume projection for protected - permissive phasing milli I Harris & Associates. 13 Page3 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY Re. uired left turn length 81" Street Corridor Smart Growth Revitalization National City Ivd. And Plaza Blvd. 95th percentile Queue on South Bound Left Turn Pocket with i30 foot storage length Rol*:?l ". e 8th Steet2:hanes 8th'street:2lanes' Based on existing southbound left turn pocket length at Plaza of approximately 110', if left turn volume queuing is more than 110', the intersection will then experience left turn movement overflow into the southbound through lanes during peak hours, thus reducing the intersection level of service. The above table identifies that a significant reduction in the level of service will occur as a result of traffic diversion on 8th Street. We also evaluated optimization of the intersection by using protected permissive left turn phasing. This optimization provides somewhat of an improved level of service. This issue will need further analysis and investigation to address the future trip distribution to mitigate project impacts at several intersections north and south of the project. Further analysis will include: 1. Synchronization and coordination study for the National City Blvd. Corridor 2. Equal distribution of traffic volumes 3. Temporary closure of one lane each direction for simulation of the project conditions, and conduct a traffic volume data collection for a `Before and after study" to observe the actual traffic pattern changes. However, it our understanding that addressing traffic impacts at other intersections is outside the scope and the budget of this project and will be provided to the City as an optional service when requested. Traffic Channelization The project teats performed a preliminary evaluations to address proposed angle parking on 8th Street between National City Boulevard and D Avenue. Our evaluation addressed placement of angle parking on one continuous side of the roadway vs_ alternating placement between roadway blocks. As shown on the attached Exhibit, due to the limited proposed curb -to curb width, placement of alternate angle parking is not conducive for this project as it presents lane channelization offset at the intersections. The lane offsets at the intersections can be addressed by providing a chicane design. However, this will result in significant loss of parking spaces. Providing angle parking on one continues side of the roadway will provide for more effective channeli2ation design. We also evaluated traffic channelization transoms at D Avenue and National City Boulevard intersections. Our analysis indicates the dropping the number 2 lanes for the east and west bound traffic lanes at National City Boulevard and D Avenue consecutively, appears to be the more effective design. Further evaluations of traffic channelization will be completed during the preparation of construction documents. Harris& Associates_ 14 Page4 CITY OF NATIONAL CITY 8TH Street Corridor Smart Growth Revitalization Evaluation of Construction Budget Scaling the proposed project to realistically match the project budget is a critical element to the project success. It is our understanding that the available construction budget is $2 million. The project team has developed a preliminary construction budget to evaluate the feasibility of constructing proposed project improvements vs. available constructions dollars. Based on the preliminary budget review the budget was between the two project segments cast and west of National City Boulevard. For the segment of 8th Street between the Trolley Station and National City Boulevard, our estimate addressed replacing street lighting under the overpass, planting trees where they are missing/dying, and replacing pavers, lifted tree grates, and concrete sidewalk banners. These improvements will go a long way towards improving this roadway segment, while shifting the focus of the budget to the area between National City Boulevard and D Avenue, where thc residents and guests of National City will see the greatest return and positive impact Based on the inclusion of all proposed improvements identified in the grant project application, removal of the existing sidewalk on the south side to achieve proposed bike lanes and adequate travel lane width, and rehabilitation of existing of roadway pavement to render a comprehensive face lift of the project area, our preliminary construction estimate is approximately $2.54 million (see attached preliminary cost analysis). This preliminary budget has a 20% contingency. Our approach to manage the construction budget during the design process is to develop a project elements Priority Matrix to further identify additional improvement elements that can be broken out of the project for future project phases, be considered as alternative bid items, or added to the project as additional funding becomes available. For example, our preliminary analysis identified thc separate costs of removing of thc existing sidewalk on the south side to achieve the proposed bike lanes and rehabilitation of existing roadway pavement. The elimination of these two items will reduce the total project cost by approximately $'/z million. Further proposed improvement elements will be identified and added to the project Priority Matrix. This Priority Matrix will be revisited and revised during design development based on community feed back and permitting agencies' requirements. Scope of Work Phase I — Review of Existing Conceptual Design 1.1 Landscape Architectural Theming A conceptual theming plan will be generated for the 8th Street Smart Growth Revitalization Corridor. It will be prepared KTU+A and Graphic Solutions and approved by the City. Our scope will include thc development of three diffetent and varied themes, one of which will be generated by the National City community. The selected theming plan will be incorporated into the lighting, signage, and banners. The theming plan will accomplish two goals, first to generate positive public interest, create a sense of ownership to the project, and create a consistent visual environment for the 8th Street Corridor.

Other Insurance a. For any covered "auto" you own, this Coverage Form provides primary insurance. For any covered "auto" you don't own, the insurance provided by this Coverage Form is excess over any other collectible insurance.

(2) Primary while it is connected to a covered "auto" you own. b. For Hired Auto Physical Damage Coverage, any covered "auto" you lease, hire, rent or borrow is deemed to be a covered "auto" you own. However, any "auto" that is leased, hired, rented or borrowed with a driver is not a covered "auto". c. Regardless of the provision of Paragraph a. above, this Coverage Form's Liability Coverage is primary for any liability assumed under an "insured contract". d. When this Coverage Form and any other Coverage Form or policy covers on the same basis, either excess or primary, we will pay only our share.

PREPARED BY: Raymond Pe DEPARTMENT: Comm evelopment PHONE: 336-4421 APPROVED EXPLANATION: On February 17, 2009, the City Council authorized the Mayor to execute an agreement with BRG Consulting, Inc. for consultant services for the preparation of an environmental impact report or negative declaration related to an amendment of the Downtown Specific Plan. The proposed specific plan amendment would add three half -blocks east of Roosevelt Avenue, south of Civic Center Drive, and north of 16th Street to the Downtown Specific Plan. The agreement scope of services includes the preparation of a traffic study, which was contingent on the traffic model for the adjacent Westside Specific Plan EIR. The work on the traffic study was unavoidably delayed due to the additional time required to complete the adjacent traffic study for the Westside Specific Plan. The consultant has completed the traffic study and refined the project schedule to reflect a revised timeline. The proposed resolution would authorize the Mayor to execute the amended agreement with BRG isulting, Inc. to revise the length of the agreement to reflect the revised project timeline.

Subsection T of Section 2.01.020 authorizes the City Manager to execute all contracts and agreements not exceeding the amount of $25,000. Subsection V gives the City Manager the authority to approve change orders for previously authorized public works contracts, professional services agreements, and other agreements when the amount does not exceed the greater of ten percent of the original contracts amount or $25,000. In a companion item on this agenda, the City Engineer is proposing that the City Council approve an amendment to the City's change order approval policy. The recommended amendment would authorize the City Engineer to approve change orders and amendments to contracts not to exceed the greater of $25,000 or fifteen percent of the original contract amount. The proposed amendment would also increase the authority of the City Manager to approve change orders and amendments to contracts of $50,000 or twenty five percent of the original contract amount, whichever is greater. The increased authority of the City Manager would conflict with his/her authority as set forth in Section 2.01.020 of the Municipal Code, requiring that Section to be amended as proposed. GEORGE H.

Therefore, the attached ordinance would amend Title 18 by relocating sections 18.54.060 through 18.54.100 to Title 7.31, sections 7.31.010 through 7.31.070.

N/A ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: N/A ORDINANCE: INTRODUCTION: FINAL ADOPTION: APPROVED: APPROVED: Finance MIS STAFF RECOM ENDATION: Adopt the •.� : n BOAR ►' CO, SS I • RE ION: N/A ATTACHMENTS: Resolution 2. Amended Policy 3. Current Policy EXPLANATION: On February 6, 1990 the City Council adopted the City's current Policy Number 502, titled "PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE CONIRACICHANGE ORDERS" and established a standard method for approval of changes in contract amounts due to change orders and adjustment of quantities. Over the past five years, private and public development activities have significantly increased in the City. This growth has been accomplished through a myriad of consultant and constniction contracts that support the City Departments in carrying out the design and construction activities. It has been through the course of this unprecedented growth and development that the shortcomings of some of the older policies and ordinances have come to light. The departments that often are impacted are the Development Services, City Attorney and the City Managers' office. To address the issue, the consultant and construction change order policies of thirteen general law cities in the County of San Diego were reviewed. In reviewing the policies, the definitions, and the change order authority limits of these cities, it became clear that the City of National City's current policy and ordinance need to he amended and brought up to date. These amendments would address the complexities of today's contractual laws and would also raise the expenditure authorities to reflect the current price indices. The proposed amendment goes into great detail to define the many components of consultant and construction contracts and change orders. The change order authority limits for the City Engineer and the City Manager are also raised in this amendment. In selecting the new change order authority limits the following were taken into consideration: • The limits set by the old policy are more than twenty years old. Even with the recent price drops in construction industry, the Construction Price Index for California has risen more than 2.5 times since 1990 (see attached table). It is important to recognize that the original limits were set too low for a City that has undertaken ambitious growth since that policy was written. • The new policy will be in effect for several ycars to come. The new limits of the change order authority take into account the price increases in the few coming years. • The higher limits provide for a more efficient project administration for the City from a time, cost and public convenience point of view. Often, when the need for changes are discovered, projects that are under construction and/or design come to a complete halt until the changes are agreed upon, staff reports are prepared, items are agendized, and then taken to the next available Council meeting. These steps, which all have deadlines, sometimes take weeks and in some instances over a month or two. Projects are often impacted by such significant delays both from a schedule and cost stand point as well as from a public perception and convenience stand point. 1 • Due to the requirements of the current policy and ordinance, many small changes to contracts (most often less than a few thousand dollars) have to be put on Council agenda. This is a cumbersome step to the Council and the Public and it can distract from the focus on primary mission of the Council. • The proposed limits are within the range of most cities that have updated their change order policies. The new policy will facilitate the process of the change order approvals and help meet the project deadlines and limit the number of items that need to be scheduled for the City Council's approval. Staff has collaborated with the City Attorney's and the City Manager's offices and is proposing the following amendments to the policy. The proposed amendments consist of two parts as follows: The first part defines the Construction Contracts, Construction Change Order, On -Call Consultant Contracts, Work Orders and Contract Amendments, and Standard Consultant Contracts. The current policy does not define the above terms. The second part revises the current provisions or adds new provisions to the policy as follows: a) Public improvement projects shall be administered in accordance with the latest edition of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction ("Greenbook"), specifications and contract special provisions. The above provision updates the current provision. b) The City Engineer may approve the adjustment of bid or line item quantities per the Greenbook. Adjustment of line item quantities that exceed the latest edition of the Greenbook and/or the special provisions (whichever is greater) shall proceed under the Contractor Change Order policy limits as prescribed below. City Engineer may also approve the adjustments of contract time for justifiable delays within the limits of the latest edition of the Greenbook and special provisions. The above provision updates the current provision. c) The City Engineer may approve Aggregate Contract Change Orders, Amendments to On -Call Consultant Contracts and Standard Consultant Contracts up to 15% of the original contract amount, not to exceed a maximum of S25,000 per change order or amendment. The current policy authorizes 5% of the contract or a maximum of $5,000 per Change Order. d) The City Manager may approve Aggregate Contract Change Orders, amendments 2 to On -Call Consultant Contracts and Standard Consultant Contracts up to 25% of the original contract amount, not to exceed a maximum of $50,000 per change order or amendment. The current policy authorizes 10% of the contract or a maximum of $10,000 per Change Order. e) The Contract Change Order can exceed the limits of authorization set forth herein, if in the City Manager's opinion the situation requiring the Contract Change Order is of a nature that presents an emergency in which there is a concern for public safety, or if delay would cause unnecessary additional expenses. In such a case, the Contractor Change Order will subsequently be presented to the City Council for ratification at the next regular City Council meeting. The current policy does not include the above provision. f) The City Council approves Contract Change Orders, Amendments to On -Call Consultant Contracts and Standard Consultant Contracts that exceed 25% of the original contract amount or $50,000 for a single Change Order or Amendment. The current policy does not include the above provision. The purpose of this resolution is to establish an updated policy by approving the proposed amendments to the existing City Council Policy Number 502. 3 CONSTRUCTION COST INDICES WASHINGTON FHWA CALIFORNIA COLORADO OREGON SOUTH UTAH DAKOTA YEAR 1990 = 110 1987 = 100 1987=100 1987 = 100 1987 = 100 1987=100 1987=100 1990 1991 1992 1993 110 109 114 103 121 108 108 111 108 105 107 111 106 108 113 115 115 119 119 1994 105 139 116 120 2000 128 2001 129 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2002 2003 2004 2005 124 122 115 122 124 120 119 142 131 125 140 127 129 158 139 145 170 176 137 139 146 146 145 154 148 142 150 149 154 216 184 268 107 119 109 115 112 138 135 150 112 128 114 126 112 117 142 149 126 159 155 169 2006 228 221 281 2007 230 261 2008 241 2009 223 171 157 150 154 168 255 256 271 253 331 258 257 148 WSDOT 2009 Index is for calendar year 2009 California, Colorado and Utah 2009 CCI is for Quarters 1, 2 & 3 Oregon and South Dakota 2009 CCI is for Quarter 1 & 2 WSDOT 2003 and 2004 CCI data points adjusted to correct for spiking bid prices on structural steel Note: FHWA CCI discontinued in 2007 Adak Washington State �1.

PREPARED BY DEPARTMENT Kaseem Baker Community Services Phone: (619) 336-4274 EXPLANATION The purpose of this report is to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution that would amend City Council Policy #801 on "Recreational Field and Sports Facility Rules and Regulations" (proposed new title). On November 12, 1991 the City Council adopted Policy #801 on "Parks and Recreation Facility Rules and Regulations" which defines appropriate facility usage and priorities and assign responsibilities for proper scheduling of sports fields and facilities at Kimball Park, El Toyon Park and Las Palmas Park. On June 5, 2007 the City Council adopted the first revision based on recommendations from a sub -committee consisting of Councilmember Luis Natividad and Rosalie Zarate, Acting Community Services Director Rudy Lopez, Recreation Superintendent Kaseem Baker, Parks Superintendent, and Parks Supervisor Victor Uribe. On May 8, 2007 we met with local youth and adult sports user groups Pony/Colt Baseball (Dan Korgie), National City Girls Softball (Peggy Brownlee), South Bay Eagles (Dwayne Harvey), Las Palmas Little League (Toni Romo), Kimball Park Little League (Judy Castillo), National City Senior Softball (Alfredo Estrada), Soccer Central (Martin Ortega), and National City Bandits Soccer Club (William Apan) to submit input on the proposed changes. Two members of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, Chairman James Grier and former Board member Stephen Lynch, were also present. Due to ongoing conflicts amongst soccer clubs and other sports user groups regarding field use, it was determined that additional revisions were required. The subcommittee met once more to incorporate league input and to develop the attached staff recommendations, and the final version was reviewed with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on February 18, 2010.

This new designation is a long-term (15-year) partnership between local govemments and private companies to generate new private sector investment and growth with the state providing performance -based tax credits and incentives to Enterprise Zone businesses. The purpose of the SDREZ. is to: 1) revitalize chronically deteriorated areas; 2) hire the most difficult to hire residents in private sector jobs; and 3) retain, expand, and reward businesses that participate in these objectives. DEPARTMEN APPROVED FINANCIAL STATEMENT: ACCOUNT NO. APPROVED: APPROVED: Finance MIS The Operating MOU requires the City to pay its proportionate share of $51,000 annually for the City of San Diego's administrative and marketing costs. The Economic Development Divisions FY 2010 budget includes the $51,000 costs for the current program year. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: On April 21, 2009 Council accepted the certified E1R for the SDREZ, as required by the State of California HCD. ORDINANCE: INTRODUCTION: FINAL ADOPTION: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Council adopt the resolution BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable ATTACHMENTS: 1. Operating MOU and Budget for the SDREZ Program BACKGROUND SUMMARY In 1992 the City of San Diego received approval for the South Bay Enterprise Zone. In 2000 and again in 2004, the South Bay Enterprise Zone was expanded to include properties along the Bayfront redevelopment areas of the cities of Chula Vista and National City. The old South Bay Enterprise Zone expired on January 27, 2007. In 2006, Council approved a resolution supporting and authorizing the submittal of a joint application to the State of California Housing and Community Development Department for a new San Diego Regional Enterprise Zone (SDREZ) designation, with the cities of Chula Vista, San Diego and National City. This partnership was "Conditionally Approved" on November 3, 2006. The partners have been engaged in the task of completing the remaining conditions including certification of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The certified EIR was completed in July 2008. On April 21, 2009, Council adopted a resolution accepting the certified EIR. DISCUSSION This resolution will approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the Operating MOU and budget for the SDREZ Partnership. This new designation is a Tong -term (15-year) partnership between local governments and private companies to generate new private sector investment and growth with the state providing performance -based tax credits and incentives to Enterprise Zone businesses. The purpose of the SDREZ is to: I) revitalize chronically deteriorated areas; 2) hire the most difficult to hire residents in private sector jobs; and 3) retain, expand, and reward businesses that participate in these objectives. On November 3, 2006, the Partnership was awarded conditional designation by the California HCD, effective October 15, 2006, pending completion of the EIR and adoption of the Operating MOU. The final EIR was certified in July 2008. The Operating MOU identifies roles and responsibilities for the Partner agencies including but not limited to administrative services, data collection, reporting, and meetings requirements to evaluate program effectiveness for the SDREZ (see Attachment #1). OUTCOMES The SDREZ is significantly larger than the previous South Bay Enterprise Zone. The previous South Bay Enterprise Zone covered 84 acres in National City. The SDREZ now covers approximately 3,787 acres. Because of this significant increase in acreage, the City will assist many more businesses than were assisted under the previous Enterprise Zone. During 2008, the City's first full year participating in the SDREZ, approved hiring tax credits greatly increased from the totals of 2007, rising from 59 to 374. In 2009, the total number of hiring credit vouchers was 364. The total number of companies benefiting in 2007 was 7, 46 companies in 2008, and 54 companies in 2009. According to the City of National City Chamber of Commerce, National City businesses received over $3 million in tax credits in 2008. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT The City of San Diego administers the SDREZ on behalf of the Partnership. The Partners share the administrative costs for San Diego's staff time required to administer the program, during this fiscal year. The Operating MOU requires the City to pay its proportionate share of $51,000 annually for the City of San Diego's administrative and marketing costs. The Community Development, Advanced Planning Fiscal Year 2010 budget includes the $51,000 costs for FY 08-09. The Community Development budget for Fiscal Year 2011 will include the $51,000 costs for the current program year. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT As mentioned above, the Operating MOU requires the Partners to re-examine the terms and conditions of the MOU, including the administrative costs, every five years. The City of San Diego recently increased the administrative fees for hiring tax credit vouchers from $50 per voucher to $90 per voucher. It is anticipated the increased number of vouchers and the fee increases will create a funding source to lower costs for all of the Partners, thus reducing the impact to the City's Tax Increment Fund in future years. NEXT STEPS The next step would be to obtain City Council approval for the Memorandum of Understanding between the State of California and the cities of Chula Vista, San Diego and National City identifying specific activities and reporting requirements that were identified in the EZ application submitted by the Partners. These activities must be met in order to comply with the State EZ program including SDREZ data collection, marketing plans and activities, job creation and retention activities, periodic meetings to evaluate program effectiveness, and more. Staff anticipates the State MOU will be on the City Council Agenda within 60 days for consideration. The EZ designation will be valid until October 2021. The Enterprise Zone regulations allow the Partners to expand the acreage of the Zone by 15%, once the final designation has been granted. Staff is currently in the process of identifying new acreage for possible expansion of National City's SDREZ boundaries. Staff anticipates seeking Council's approval to expand during this calendar year.

Local jurisdictions may charge an additional application fee to help offset the local cost of effectively administering E Z program.

The revenue generated by the application fee shall be used solely to cover administrative costs directly associated with the EZ program, including without limitation, personnel and non -personnel expenses, i.e. EZ software, marketing. etc. Should the application fee generate sufficient revenue to cover the lead agency's EZ administrative costs, the PARTNERSHIP shall define the most equitable manner in which to distribute such revenue in order to reduce impacts to the PARTNERSHIP's general fund supporting the SDREZ program. Any such amendments shall be in accordance with Section 5 of this OPERATING MOU. If State legislation is approved to allow for extensions, and an extension is awarded to the SDREZ, this OPERATING MOU shall be renegotiated in the manner stipulated in Section 5.

As presented to the Commission, the request to create the Director of Emergency Services classification came about after a comprehensive review of the scope and responsibilities of the City of National City Fire Department and the knowledge, skills and abilities required of the department director precipitated by the impending retirement of the current Fire Chief The purpose of this request is to seek authorization for the salary bands associated with this newly created position. Discussion: The new classification, intended to act as the director of the Fire Department, reflects the current scope and responsibilities of the Fire Department, and the broader nature of the administrative position responsible for directing the department, including administrative oversight of: emergency medical services, fire inspection, fire suppression, disaster response, policy development, regional coordination, budget and community/political relations. After approving the class specification, consistent with other director level positions, the Commission exempted the position from classified service. As such, the position will become part of the Executive employee group. Employees in the Executive group are appointed by the City Manager and serve at the will of the City Manager. The City Manager further has the authority to compensate employees of the Executive Group at any dollar level within the City Council approved salary band of the position in which the employee is serving. The proposed salary band for the Director of Emergency Services is $64,872 — $131,410, annually. The actual base salary that the City Manager intends to pay an incoming Director of Emergency Services is Honorable Mayor and City Council Approval of Salary Band for Director of Emergency Services March 2, 2010 Page 2 $119,000, annually. In comparison, the current Fire Chief cams $130,170.56, annually plus an annual deferred compensation payment equal to 4.5% of his base salary ($5,857.68). Recommendation: Based on the actions of the Civil Service Commission, staff requests and recommends the approval of the salary band for the newly created Director of Emergency Services position within the Executive • .loyee group: $64,872 — $131,410, annually. VENSON 2a.1 CALIFORNIA CITY OF NATIONAL CITY MEMORANDUM DATE: February 10, 2010 TO: City of National City Civil Service Commission FROM: Stacey Stevenson, Director of Human Resources SUBJECT: Creation of New Classification Director of Emergency Services The City of National City Fire Department includes three primary divisions: administration, fire prevention/inspection services, and operations. Like many fire departments, the operations division is responsible for responding to a variety of critical incidents including traffic accidents, chemical spills, medical emergencies, fires and other disasters. Under the City's current organizational structure and classification system, the director of the Fire Department is the Fire Chief. On December 9, 2009, the Fire Chief, formally announced his intent to retire effective March 31, 2010. Given the critical nature of this safety sensitive department, filling the imminent vacancy became a priority for the Office of the City Manager. In beginning the recruitment process, consideration was given to the essential functions of the position and the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for success in the current environment. In order to address the evolution of the Fire Department and the responsibilities of its top administrator, staff made significant modifications to the class specification of said top administrator. The extent of the changes are such that the creation of a new classification is warranted. The proposed classification and associated class specification are consistent with the current expectations of the individual responsible for heading the Fire Department. Further, an at -will designation is appropriate for this department head level classification, consistent with other department head or director level positions within the City. Designation as an at -will classification exempts the position from classified service and Civil Service. Based on the above, staff recommends the following: a. Created a new classification titled Director of Emergency Services. b. Exempt the Director of Emergency Services from Classified Service EVENSON Nita .ice >oir8 8 PRESENTATION TO CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION By City Manager, Chris Zapata February 18, 2009 CITY COUNCIL PRIORITIES ■ Fiscal Sustainability ■ Public Safety ■ Technology ■ Community Engagement ■ Fiscal Clarity ■ Image 1 NATIONAL CITY ORGANIZATIONAL CHART City Council I City Manager IIBoards & Commissions Ctty nroomey Community Der Executive Director (Assistant City Manager l Human Resources Police Fire } Public Works } Library } Community Services FIRE DEPT.
