Narrative Responses
The Consolidated Plan
Purpose of the Consolidated Plan
The City of Temecula Five-Year Consolidated Plan ("Consolidated Plan") provides a
framework for implementing housing, human services, and community development
' activities for July 2012 through June 2017. The Plan assists the City by:
• Serving as a planning document that the City prepares in partnership with its
citizens, community organizations, businesses and other stakeholders;
• Describing the City's strategic plan for implementing the Community
Development Block Grant Program (CDBG);
• Measuring performance and tracking goals;
• Assessing the resources, needs, economic and living conditions, demographics,
homelessness, housing costs, etc. of the City of Temecula; and
• Reporting on specific items required by the US Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) as a requirement for receiving Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG)funds.
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
National Objectives
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is a federal program
that is administered by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). CDBG funds are provided directly to eligible states and units of local
government and are considered direct entitlement grantees. As a grantee receiving
annual funding allocations from the Federal Government to fund local housing and
community development needs, the City of Temecula is authorized to fund eligible
activities that meet national and local goals/objectives. The broad national objectives
' are as follows:
• Activities benefiting low/moderate-income (LMI) persons;
• Activities which aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, and
Pg. 3
2016-2017 CITY OFTEMECULA
• Activities meeting community development needs that have a particular urgency
(urgent need).
The 2012-2017 Consolidated Plan directs funds exclusively toward meeting the
national objective of benefiting low/moderate-income persons. The Consolidated
Plan serves as a comprehensive guide on how the City intends to utilize the allotted
federal funds to address national objectives in a manner that will produce the
greatest measurable impact on the local community.
Performance Measures
While the national objectives are broad, measurements used to determine whether
activities are successful are more specific. Performance measurement system
objectives are as follows:
• Provide decent affordable housing
• Create a suitable living environment
• Create economic opportunities
In addition, performance measurement system outcomes are as follows:
• Availability/Accessibility
• Affordability
• Sustainability
' At the end of each fiscal year, the City must prepare a Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to provide information to HUD and
Temecula citizens about the year's accomplishments.
Pg. 4
Mika017 CITY OF TEMECULA
The Annual Action Plan includes the SF 424 and is due every year no less than 45 days
prior to the start of the grantee's program year start date.
Executive Summary 91.220(b)
Program Year 5
Each year, the City is required to prepare a one-year Action Plan to notify citizens and
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) of how the City intends
to use the entitlement CDBG grant funds it receives from HUD to meet the objectives
and strategies identified in the five-year Consolidated Plan. Actions that will be
undertaken in the 2016-2017 program year are outlined in this one-year Action Plan,
which describes both the allocation of estimated resources and a narrative of what will
be done.
In a given year, it is possible that no steps will be taken to achieve a particular strategy.
Similarly, it is expected that during the course of the year, the City may be presented
with unanticipated opportunities that can be capitalized upon to meet goals and
strategies. The City shall seize these opportunities to further the goals defined in the
Consolidated Plan. The City does not currently participate/receive funds under the
HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Program, the Housing Opportunities for Persons
with AIDS (HOPWA) Program, or Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Program. During the
2012-2017 Program Years, the City may apply for a Section 108 loan. Should the City
elect to do so, and/or participate in the HOME, HOPWA, or ESG programs through the
State of California, the Consolidated Plan will be amended through the Substantial
Amendment process.
One of the major tools for accomplishing the goals of the Consolidated Plan is the
annual allocation of CDBG funds provided by HUD. The City received $475,558 in
2012, the City's first year as a direct recipient of CDBG funds. In 2013, the City's CDBG
allocation increased by nine percent (9%), from $475,558 to $517,195. In 2014, the
City's CDBG allocation increased another five percent (5%), up to $544,070 and stayed
relatively similar in 2015 by receiving $540,214 in CDBG funds. For the 2016-2017
Program Year, HUD has informed the City that the CDBG allocation is being reduced by
5% to $515,688. In addition, the 2016-2017 Program Year will be the final year
Temecula receives CDBG funds under the current five-year Consolidated Plan. Next
year, the City will prepare a new five-year Consolidated Plan to continue to receive
annual CDBG entitlement funds.
The following outlines the total anticipated resources available to implement the 2016-
2017 Action Plan.

CDBG Allowable Distribution of Funds Amount
Public Services (Max. 15% of annual allocation) $ 77,353
Planning/Administration (Max. 20%of annual allocation) $ 103,137

2012-15 Program Year Carryover Activities/Funds $ 0
Total CDBG Program Resources for 2016-2017 $ 515,688
' CDBG Fundina Recommendation Summary Amount
Public Service Programs $ 77,350
Planning/Administration $ 103,137
Rotary Park Rehabilitation $ 25,000
Old Town Sidewalks Improvement Project $ 220,520
Sam Hicks Monument Park Rehabilitation Project $ 64,681
Habitat for Humanity—Home Rehabilitation Program $ 25,000
Total Estimated Funding $ 515,688
CDBG Funding Backup List Amount
Sixth Street Sidewalk Improvements $ 20,000
Temecula Community Center Rehabilitation $ 60,000
Should additional CDBG funding become available during the program year through cost
savings, increase in allocation, or dropped activities, the City will use CDBG funds for
the above backup project or the expansion of the multi-phased Old Town Sidewalk
Improvement program. If additional funding becomes available for public services for
the same reasons during the program year, the funds will be distributed proportionately
among the approved CDBG-funded public services agencies. No additional public
review will be required to take this action, because this would be considered a minor
amendment to the Annual Action Plan.
The development of the Annual Action Plan includes citizen and stakeholder input. This
Annual Action Plan is consistent with the top priorities identified by residents and
stakeholders who participated in development of the Plan and the 2016-2017 funding
process.

2016-2017 CITY OF TEMECULA
The Community Development Department held two (2) community workshop meetings
on December 7, 2015, to collect citizen input regarding community development and
housing needs for the City of Temecula. Public meeting attendees prioritized top needs
as supportive human services for special needs populations including youth, seniors,
domestic violence victims, and the homeless. As described below, the City has
prioritized supportive human services and public improvements that benefit low- and
moderate-income neighborhoods and residents (housing, community infrastructure, park
playground).
On November 17, 2015, the Community Development Department released a Notice of
the Availability of Funds (NOFA) to interested non-profit service providers who could
then apply to receive 2016-2017 CDBG program funds. The Community Development
Department received 14 applications from public service providers and one (1) housing
provider before the applications were due on December 16, 2015. The total amount
requested was $276,878 for public services and $25,000 for housing improvement
programs, demonstrating a tremendous need for CDBG funds in the community. The
following organizations submitted CDBG funding applications:
1. Assistance League of Temecula Valley
2. Canine Support Teams, Inc.
3. Community Mission of Hope Temporary Inclement Weather Shelter
4. Fair Housing Council of Riverside County
5. Hospice of the Valleys
6. Michelle's Place, Breast Cancer Resource Center
7. Path of Life Ministries

10. Senior Citizens Service Center
11. Single Mothers United in Rewarding Fellowship (SMURF)
12. Temecula Community Pantry
13. VNW Circle of Care
14. Voices of Children
15. Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley (housing rehabilitation)
Each application was reviewed for CDBG eligibility, meeting a national objective and
conformance with the 2012-2017 Consolidated Plan — Strategic Plan goals. The
Community Development Department presented draft funding recommendations to the
Finance Committee of the City Council in a public meeting held on February 9, 2016, at
the Temecula Civic Center. Ten (10) persons representing eight (8) of the above
organizations attended the public meeting along with City staff. After review and
discussion, the Finance Committee made funding recommendations for the City
Council's consideration. The Annual Action Plan reflects the funding recommendations
made by the Finance Committee. The City Council will approve the Annual Action Plan
on April 26, 2016.
Based on the 2012-2017 Consolidated Plan goals as well as past performance by the
agencies, the City will continue to fund most of the public services agencies that were
funded in the previous year. Last year, the City met its CDBG timeliness requirements.
During Fiscal Year 2016-17, CDBG funds will be directed toward accomplishing the
following primary goals and performance objectives, as established within the
Consolidated Plan:

Citizen Participation 91.220(b)
1. Provide a summary of the citizen participation and consultation process
(including efforts to broaden public participation in the development of the
plan.
As a prerequisite to submitting the One-Year Action Plan, the City's Citizen
Participation Plan (CPP) and CDBG implementing regulation 24 CFR 92.105 require
that a public hearing be held to allow citizens and public service agencies an
opportunity to express their views concerning the use of CDBG funds. Temecula's
year five (5) Action Plan was developed with a strong emphasis on community input.
To broaden participation in the Plan, the City provided a number of opportunities for
public input including public meetings and a 30-day draft public comment period.
Specifically,
• The City of Temecula held two (2) community workshop meetings on December
7, 2015, to collect citizen input regarding community development and housing
needs, and to provide assistance to non-profit organizations and government
agencies submitting an application requesting CDBG funds from the City of
Temecula. One (1) meeting was held in the early evening to accommodate work
schedules and one (1) meeting was held during the day to accommodate those
uncomfortable driving at night. Notices for the community workshop meetings
were publicized on the City's website, emailed to the Citizen Participation Plan
(CPP) mailing list (See Appendix A for listing) and several local business and
affordable housing professionals, published in the local newspaper for a 15-day
period, and posted at the Temecula Public Library and Civic Center.
• On February 9, 2016, the City of Temecula Finance Subcommittee met to
consider the CDBG funding recommendations for Fiscal Year 2016-2017. The
City Finance Subcommittee performs in an advisory manner to City staff and to
the City Council concerning planning, implementing, and assessing CDBG
programs and activities. Notices for this meeting were publicized on the City's
website, published in the local newspaper for a 10-day period, and posted at the
Temecula Public Library and Civic Center.
• Prior to adoption, the draft Action Plan was made available to the general public
for a period of 30 days in order to provide them with an opportunity to review the
recommendation for funding. In compliance with the City's approved Citizen
Participation Plan and CDBG implementing regulation 24 CFR 92.105, a public
notice was published to solicit comments from interested citizens regarding the
City's 2016-2017 One-Year Action Plan. The public hearing comment period
commenced in late February and public comments were included in the Action
Plan prior to the City Council public hearing scheduled for April 26, 2016. This is
the second of two required public hearings by HUD.
The City directly contacted and consulted a diverse group of public and private
sector agencies providing services within the City of Temecula to help identify the
available resources and community needs. Stakeholders represent a broad spectrum
of interests. The industries and professions represented included:

The City is committed to participation of minorities, non-English speaking persons,
and persons with disabilities in the Consolidated Plan process. Wherever a
significant number of extremely low- and low-income persons speak and read a
primary language other than English, translation services at all public hearings are
provided in such language, if translation services are available and requested in
advance, at least 72 hours prior to the public meeting.
In 2011, as part of the development of the 2012-2017 Five-Year Consolidated Plan,
a community needs assessment survey was prepared and distributed to all known
community service organizations operating within the City, local government
agencies providing services in Temecula, the Temecula libraries, the Temecula
Senior Center, and various community centers. Additionally, the survey was posted
on the City's website and distributed at the two (2) community workshops held on
November 16, 2011.
The survey listed several needs categories for the 2012-2017 planning period,
including: housing, neighborhood services, community services, business and jobs,
and special needs. Each category contained subcategories to assist respondents in
focusing and prioritizing specific needs. Survey results were tabulated and
incorporated within the Consolidated Plan and each succeeding Program Year
Action Plan.
' Based on the community needs assessment survey, the community workshops, and
consultation with various service providers, the following needs were identified as
important:

4. Identify the federal, state, and local resources (including program
income) the jurisdiction expects to receive to address the needs
identified in the plan. Federal resources should include Section 8 funds
made available to the jurisdiction, Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and
competitive McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act funds expected
to be available to address priority needs and specific objectives
identified in the strategic plan.
The following resources are available to the City of Temecula and will be used to
carry out the 2012 —2016 Strategic Plan and the 2016-2017 Action Plan of the 2012-
2017 Consolidated Plan.
Federal Resources
Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Program. Urban communities may
use funds to address neighborhood revitalization, promote economic development,
provide improved community facilities, prevent and eliminate slums or blight, and
provide activities aiding low- and moderate-income families.
For the 2016-2017 Action Plan, the City will be receiving $515,688 of CDBG
Entitlement funds. These funds have been allocated as indicated in the listing of
' Proposed Projects to address the priority needs identified in the 2012-2017 Strategic
Plan. There is no match required for these funds.
The City does not anticipate receiving any other federal resources to address the
needs identified in the Consolidated Plan that address the needs of low- and
moderate-income (LMI) persons. The City will continue to participate in all eligible
programs and projects offered by Riverside County including the:
• Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless Assistance;
• Mortgage Credit Certificate Program (MCC); and
• Section 8 Voucher Program
State and Local Resources
The City was awarded a Housing-Related Parks (HRP) Program grant through the
California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Based
on the City's investment in the construction of 91 lower-income units between 2010
and 2013, and its compliance with State Housing Element law, the City qualified to
receive $321,100 in HPR Program grant funds to help fund the construction of Eagle
Soar Playground, a special needs playground. The project, which was recently
completed, is located in one of Temecula's disadvantaged census tracts comprising
47 percent LMI households. Although this project is not listed as a priority in the
2012-2017 Strategic Plan, it will directly benefit a low- and moderate-income area
(LMA) and persons with special needs.
' In late 2015, the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency obtained
clearance from the Department of Finance on the remaining affordable housing
dollars that had been previously "Frozen"within the Affordable Housing Fund, gaining
Pg. 15
2016-2017 CITY OF TEMECULA
' complete discretion on the entire affordable housing dollars available to the City, in
the amount of $12.4 million. City staff issued a draft Request for Proposal (RFP) to
solicit innovative development proposals that address one (1) or more of the
following housing needs: seniors, veterans, special needs, transitional, or
supportive. Applicants with other housing need specialties may also be considered.
The RFP outlined requirements and included, but are not limited to potential City-
owned parcels that can be considered for development. Uptown Temecula would
also be encouraged with the new, recently adopted Specific Plan. Projects are
encouraged to integrate a mix of uses, as well as market-rate units into projects,
where feasible.
Other Resources
In addition to the CDBG public services grants, the City of Temecula allocated
$59,000 to local nonprofit agencies that provide other services directly to Temecula
residents. The projects listed below received funding in 2015. Each year
applications for the Temecula Community Services grant funding program are
accepted in July, and funding awards are announced in November. CDBG funds
were not used to replace the City's Community Services funding.

5. Explain how federal funds will leverage resources from private and non-federal
public sources.
To maximize the funding resources in its efforts to meeting its comprehensive
community development and housing goals, the City of Temecula will continue to
seek leveraging through additional eligible resources, including private and public.
The public service providers leverage private donations and local support from
United Way and other organizations and agencies for at least five percent (5%) of
the operating costs for non-profit programs funded with CDBG. The City continues to
apply for non-federal funds that may become available through the state or county to
help address priority needs.
Other public/private funding sources leveraged include, but are not limited to:
• City General Funds (see table of other resources on prior page)
• SIB 821 Funds: Senate Bill 821 (SB 821) funds are State block grants awarded
annually to local jurisdictions for bicycle and pedestrian projects within California.
The source of SIB 821 originates from the State of California's gasoline tax, and
is administered by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and
can be used in conjunction with the CDBG Program to assist in meeting annual
goals/objectives.
• State Housing and Community Development grant for Eagle Soar Playground
' Annual Objectives 91.220(c)(3)
6. Provide a summary of specific objectives that will be addressed during the
program year.
The City will be addressing three (3) primary goals in Program Year 5 (2016-2017):
1. Decent Housing (DH-1)(Availability/Accessibility)
2. Suitable Living Environment (SL-2, SL-3)(Affordability/Sustainability)
3. Economic Opportunity (EO-1)(Availability/Accessibility)
The City's key objectives for 2016-2017 funding period include the following:
• Preserving the existing affordable housing stock and assuring its continuing
quality (DH)
• Encourage local incentives for developers to create affordable housing (DH)
• Affirmatively further fair housing (DH)
• Improving the safety and livability of neighborhoods (SL)
• Assisting persons at risk of becoming homeless
• Remove barriers to accessibility throughout the City (SL)
• Eliminating blighting influences and the deterioration of property and facilities
(SL)
• Increasing the access to quality public and private facilities (SL)
• Ensuring services are available to all residents especially youth, seniors,
' permanently disabled, homeless and low-income households(SL)
• Establishment, stabilization and expansion of small business (including micro-
businesses (ED)
• The provision of public services concemed with employment (EO)
Pg. 17
2016-2017 CITY OF TEMECULA
' Description of Activities 91.220(d) and (e)
7. Provide a summary of the eligible programs or activities that will take place
during the program year to address the priority needs and specific objectives
identified in the strategic plan. Describe the outcome measures for activities in
accordance with Federal Register Notice dated March 7, 2006, i.e., general
objective category (decent housing, suitable living environment, economic
opportunity) and general outcome category (availability/accessibility,
affordability, sustainability).
Overall Priority. The overall priority for the Action Plan is to use these Federal funds
to increase self-sufficiency and economic opportunity for lower income residents and
individuals with special needs so that they can achieve a reasonable standard of
living. The national objectives and performance outcome measurement system
established by HUD are the basis for assigning priorities to needs for which funding
may be allocated.
National Objectives. In order for an activity or project to be eligible for funding, it
must qualify as meeting one (1) of the three (3) national objectives of the program:
1. Principally benefit(at least 51%) low- and moderate-income persons;
2. Aid in the prevention of slums or blight; or
3. Meet community development needs having a particular urgency.
' Note: Because Temecula has very few areas in which 51% of its residents are low-
and moderate-income, the CDBG regulations provide for an exception criterion in
order for the City to undertake area benefit activities. For this reason, an area
benefit activity will meet the income requirement if it is within the highest quartile of
all areas within the city. For Temecula, the City may undertake area benefit activities
in census tracts having more than 37.39% low-and moderate-income persons.
The objective and outcome that will be achieved is included in each of the planned
activities and is identified using a numbering system that ties to the Community
Planning and Development Performance Measurement System developed by HUD.
The primary objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities.
Based upon this intent, it must be determined which of the following three (3)
objectives best describe the purpose of an activity:
• Provide decent housing (DH);
• Provide a suitable living environment(SL); and/or
• Expand economic opportunities, principally for lower income persons (EO).
Each activity must also meet specific performance outcomes that are related to at
least one (1) of the following:
• Availability/Accessibility (1);
• Affordability (2); or
' • Sustainability - Promoting Livable or Viable Communities(3)
Pg. 18
2016-2017 CITY OF TEMECULA
' In addition to national objectives and performance measurements, 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. The City received input
through outreach efforts helping to prioritize funding for community facilities,
community services, homeless facilities and services, housing, economic
development, and public improvements. Projects are reviewed and funding
allocations are made based upon the above criteria, including the projects' ability to
reach and serve the areas and persons with the greatest need.
The City is committed to allocating funds that serve the needs of the lowest income
and most disadvantaged residents. Households with less than fifty-percent (50%)
percent of the area median income, particularly those with extremely low-incomes,
less than thirty-percent (30%) percent of area median income, are priorities. The City
has established priorities for allocating funds based on a number of criteria,
including: the established need; urgency of the need; cost efficiency; eligibility of
activities/programs-, funding program limitations; capacity and authority for
implementing actions; consistency with City goals, policies, and efforts; identified
gaps in service; availability of other funding sources to address specific needs;
comments and correspondence from interested agencies and organizations; and
feedback from the general public.
Based on a comprehensive needs assessment, priority ranking was assigned to
each category of housing and community development needs according to the
following HUD criteria:
Hioh Priority. Activities to address this need are expected to be funded with CDBG
funds during the five-year period.
Medium Priority: If CDBG funds are available, activities to address this need may be
funded during the five-year period.
Low Priority The City will not directly fund activities using CDBG funds to address
this need during the next five-years.
No Such Need: The City finds there is no such need for activities or the need is
already substantially addressed.
The applications and funding recommendations are submitted to the Finance
Committee for consideration. The proposed One-Year Action Plan is then prepared.
Upon final funding recommendations, a 30-day public comment period and a 10-day
noticed public hearing are scheduled. The final One-Year Action Plan is presented to
the Temecula City Council for approval at a public hearing. The One-Year Action
Plan is then submitted to HUD at least 45 days prior to the start of the program year.

31,781 households in Temecula, 81.3% were considered families. Among the non-
family households, 74.9% were single people living alone, including 23.3% elderly
persons. The average household size is 3.18 persons per household, with a median
income of$72,433 in 2010.
The 2010 U.S. Census counted 34,004 total housing units. Of these, 6.5% were
vacant. The unemployment rate is currently 10.8 percent, and almost a quarter
(24.6%) of the population in Temecula falls into the lower (extremely low, very low,
and low) income category.
The City of Temecula will direct assistance to low- to moderate-income Census
Tracts in the City (Target Areas). These CDBG Target Areas are located directly
west of Interstate-15 and in the central city. The public facility projects, Sam Hicks
Monument Park Playground Rehabilitation, Rotary Park, and Old Town Sidewalk
Improvement projects, aggregately representing $335,201 (65%) in funding this fiscal
year, are located within one (1)of the Target Areas of the City (Census Tract 512). In
addition to directing assistance to low- to moderate-income areas, the City will
provide direct assistance to limited clientele populations throughout the City. While
the majority of the selected public services activities in previous program years have
served low- and moderate-income clientele residing within the City of Temecula
under the Limited Clientele National Objective, many participating LMI clientele also
reside within the CDBG Target Areas.
9. Describe the reasons for the allocation priorities, the rationale for allocating
investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for
HOPWA) during the next year, and identify any obstacles to addressing
underserved needs.
The City's primary method of allocating CDBG dollars is to assist low- to moderate-
' income areas and special needs populations. To the extent that specific geographic
areas have greater needs than other areas in the City and/or if service and housing
organizations are located in certain areas, they will receive a larger proportionate
share of the funding. For sidewalk improvements, the City will focus on the
Pg. 27
2016-2017 CITY OF TEMECULA
' geographic areas where sidewalks, curb cuts and related ADA accommodations are
lacking. For affordable housing, the City's dollars (when feasible) will be allocated in
areas where affordable housing is lacking and/or infill areas that can accommodate
affordable housing. The City will use CDBG funds to upgrade and rehabilitate parks
and recreational facilities in its low-and moderate-income areas.
During Program Year 5, the City will continue to allocate resources to those
activities/programs defined as high or medium priority pursuant to those established
within the Consolidated Plan. Activities not identified as high/medium priority are not
included as part of Program Year 2016-2017. Activities listed as high and medium
priority include assistance with residential improvements; facility and infrastructure
improvements including accessibility upgrades, and a provision of services including
child care, clothing, food, fair housing, shelter, health care, assistance to persons
with disabilities and other social services.
As mentioned in the City's Strategic Plan, the greatest obstacle to meeting
underserved needs is lack of funding. The City has many needs that exceed
available funding, including infrastructure maintenance and repair, housing and
services to special needs populations, comprehensive housing and services to assist
persons who are chronically homeless move into supportive housing environments
and provision of affordable housing.
Both private foundations and public agencies have limited resources available to
address social, community, and economic development goals pale in comparison to
the recognized needs. For example, the City was able to fund only about 25 percent
of the public service requests received from non-profit and government agencies this
fiscal year. To address this lack of funding obstacle, the City strongly encourages its
sub-recipients to seek other resources, forge new partnerships, and to leverage
additional funding whenever possible from local, State, Federal, and private sources.
The City urges CDBG funded programs and services to be flexible, while at the same
time to be as efficient and effective as possible to achieve expected performance
outcomes.
While the City has concentrated their program in the central part of the city, the City
has not designated any Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas as part of their
CDBG program.

Annual Affordable Housing Goals 91.220(g)
Complete and submit the HUD Table 3B(Annual Housing Completion Goals)
10. Describe the one-year goals for the number of homeless, non-homeless, and
special-needs households to be provided affordable housing using funds made
available to the jurisdiction and one-year goals for the number of households to
be provided affordable housing through activities that provide rental assistance,
production of new units, rehabilitation of existing units, or acquisition of
existing units using funds made available to the jurisdiction. The term
affordable housing shall be defined in 24 CFR 92.252 for rental housing and 24
CFR 92.254 for homeownership.
As stated above, there are limited opportunities and funding available to provide
affordable housing opportunities. The activity descriptions above provided the
number of homeless, non-homeless and special needs households served by each
activity. The City will attempt to seek new partnerships in the upcoming year. During
Fiscal Year 2016-2017, the City will continue to address affordable housing needs
through the following programs:
Goal/Objective: Promote, preserve, and assist in the development of affordable
housing for low- and moderate-income residents, special needs groups, those at-risk
of homelessness, and disproportionately impacted residents.
' Strategy 1: Participate in available Community Development Programs offered by
Riverside County.
• Continue to participate and promote the County of Riverside Mortgage Credit
Certificate (MCC) Program authorizing low- and moderate-income first-time
home buyers to take a federal income tax credit of up to 15 percent of the annual
interest paid on the mortgage.
• Continue to support Section 8 rental assistance vouchers to extremely-low and
low-income households through the Riverside County Housing Authority Voucher
Program.
Strategy 2: Encourage local incentives for developers to create affordable housing.
• Implement an Affordable Housing Overlay Program approved by the Temecula
City Council as part of the 2014-2021 Housing Element. Expected to be
presented to the City Council in 2016.
Strategy : Affirmatively further fair housing.
• Continue to implement recommendations from the Analysis of Impediments to
Fair Housing Report completed as part of the 2012-2017 Consolidated Plan. In
addition, prepare a more extensive Assessment for Fair Housing due in HUD on
October 4, 2016.
• Allocate $10,000 in CDBG funds to Fair Housing Council of Riverside County for
fair housing education, training & enforcement programs for low- and moderate-
income households.

Maintenance and Repairs Program, for preventative home maintenance and
critical home repair services to low-income homeowners
Public Housing 91.220(h)
11. Describe the manner in which the plan of the jurisdiction will help address the
needs of public housing and activities it will undertake during the next year to
encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management
and participate in homeownership.
12. 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 during the next year.
The City does not have public housing; and therefore does not undertake activities to
increase resident initiatives: however, the City will continue to support the Section 8
rental assistance voucher program for low-income households administered through
the Riverside County Housing Authority. Any publicly subsidized housing within the
City is provided and managed by the Housing Authority of Riverside County and the
' Riverside County Economic Development. The City will continue to support their
efforts

13. Describe, briefly, the jurisdiction's plan for the investment and use of available
resources and describe the specific planned action steps it will take over the
next year aimed at eliminating chronic homelessness.
14. Describe specific action steps to address the needs of persons that are not
homeless identified in accordance with 91.215(e).
15. Homelessness Prevention—Describe planned action steps over the next year
to address the individual and families with children at imminent risk of
becoming homeless.
As an entitlement community, the City of Temecula participates within the Riverside
County Continuum of Care, which includes a 10-year strategy to end homelessness.
The strategy is based on three (3) main activities and ten (10) recommendations,
summarized below:
Activity 1: Preventing New Episodes of Homelessness
Recommendation 1: Homeless Prevention: Implement a Countywide homeless
prevention strategy designed to prevent at least half (50%) of the 7,000 households
who become homeless each year from becoming homeless during the first five (5)
years of implementation of this plan.
Pg. 30
2016-2017 CITY OF TEMECULA
Recommendation 2: Discharge Planning: Establish Countywide protocols and
procedures to prevent people from being discharged from public and private
institutions of care into homelessness that will help decrease the number of persons
being discharged into homelessness by at least 10% annually.
Activity 2: Ending Chronic and Episodic Homelessness
Recommendation 3: Street Outreach: Expand street outreach programs throughout
the County that bring social services directly to chronically homeless people in a
more "assertive" way in order to 1) decrease the number of chronic individuals each
year by at least 10% and 2) help prevent additional persons from living on the streets
for one (1) year or more during the first five (5)years of implementation of this plan.
Recommendation 4: Shelter Beds: Create 150 additional shelter beds throughout the
County for individuals living on the streets and encourage participating in a case
management plan during the first five (5)years of implementation of the strategy.
Recommendation 5: Transitional Housing: Create 75 additional transitional housing
units consisting of 225 beds to serve families who are living on the streets and
encourage participation in a case management plan during the first five (5) years of
implementation of the strategy.
Recommendation 6: Permanent Supportive Affordable Housing: Create at least 500
beds or units of permanent supportive housing for chronic homeless persons during
the first five (5) years of implementation of the strategy.
Recommendation 7: Permanent Affordable Housing: Develop 1,500 units of
permanent affordable housing for extremely low-, very low- and low-income
individuals during the first five (5)years of implementation of the strategy.
Recommendation 8: Homeless Management Information System: Engage full
participation from all homeless prevention, emergency shelter, transitional housing,
permanent support housing, and related supportive service programs in the County
of Riverside Homeless Management Information System during the first five (5)
years of implementation of the strategy.
Recommendation 9: Mainstream Resources: Create a streamlined benefits system
featuring a single application process for multiple programs in order to expedite
enrollment and access to available resources for homeless and at risk to homeless
individuals and families during the first two (2) years of implementation of the
strategy.
Activity 3: Developing Resources to Combat Homelessness
Recommendation 10: Mainstream Resources create a Housing Trust Fund that
received an ongoing dedicated source (s) of public funding to support 1) production
and preservation of affordable housing including housing for extremely low-, very
low-, and low-income households; 2) homeless prevention activities; and 3) ancillary
supportive services during the first year of implementation of the strategy.
During Fiscal Year 2016-2017 the City will continue to address homeless and special
needs through the following programs:
Pg. 31
2016-2017 CITY OF TEMECULA
Goal/Objective: Provide programs and services to assist families and persons who
are homeless find shelter, transitional housing, and access-needed services.
Strategy 1: Actively support regional and sub-regional efforts to provide a
coordinated continuum of housing and services for homeless.
• Continue to be an active member of the Continuum of Care (CoC) for Riverside
County and to provide support on efforts such as the ten-year County plan (2007-
2017) to end homelessness.
Strategy 2: Work with public, private and non-private partners to increase funding
and leverage resources to prevent homelessness and encourage stability.
• Allocate $9,215 CDBG funds to the Community Mission of Hope, Inclement
Weather Shelter Voucher Program, for operations in assisting persons who are
homeless with temporary shelter and general human services during the cold
winter months
• Allocate $9,215 CDBG funds to the Senior Citizens Service Center, for the
provision of food to low- and moderate-income families and persons who are
homeless.
• Allocate $9,215 CDBG funds to the Temecula Community Pantry, for the
provision of food to low- and moderate-income families and persons who are
homeless.
• Allocate $9,215 CDBG funds to the VNW Circle of Care, Food Ministry Program,
for the provision of food to low- and moderate-income families and persons who
are homeless.
The City will continue to build new, and expand existing partnerships among private
and public sector organizations to ensure a comprehensive social services
infrastructure that provides services to all ages and addresses gaps in services. This
includes a network of public and private organizations to address homelessness, and
a broad structure of social support for special needs populations. Persons who are
homeless and at-risk of homelessness in Temecula will be assisted by the City
through the provision of block grant funds to homeless services and other social
service providers. CDBG funds will be provided to assist with the operations of the
following social service agencies who work with low income and special needs
residents, many of whom are also at-risk of homelessness:
• Food pantries
• Domestic violence services
• Service dogs for the disabled
The resources in Temecula are limited to address the needs of persons who are
homeless and at-risk of homelessness. The City does not receive federal funds such
as the Emergency Solutions Grant(ESG).

Barriers to Affordable Housing 91.2200)
16. Describe the actions that will take place during the next year to remove
barriers to affordable housing.
Barriers to affordable housing are frequently caused when the incentive to develop
such housing is removed due to excessive development costs, governmental
regulation, and community opposition. Some development costs are driven by
economic conditions and other factors that affect the real estate market. These are
often beyond the control of local government policies.
In the City of Temecula, the primary barriers to affordable housing are not created
through local policies. Most recently, the largest barrier to affordable housing is the
elimination of the City's Redevelopment Agency through State legislative action.
Historically, the Redevelopment Housing set-aside fund has provided all of the
funding for affordable housing development.
In 2014, the City completed an update to the General Plan Housing Element that
includes an analysis of barriers to housing development. The 2014-2021 Housing
Element revealed land use barriers to affordable housing and therefore development
goals and policies to encourage affordable housing development. Specifically, as
part of the 2014-2021 Housing Element, the City has committed to implementing an
Affordable Housing Overlay Program that provides local incentives for developers to
foster and maintain affordable housing.
The City uses a mufti-faceted strategy to address barriers to affordable housing. A
major focus involves the use of both financial and processing assistance to maximize
as many housing units as possible. This approach allows the City to quantify
affordable housing production and make adjustments to development strategies as
necessary.
Development fees and approval delays add to the cost of development. In addition,
inflation can increase the cost of both materials and labor. These factors combined
with negative public perceptions serve as a major disincentive to the construction of
affordable housing and are seen as obstacles by qualified developers. The City has
implemented the following policies as mitigation for potentially foreseen barriers to
affordable housing:
• Project Manager. The City has a designated staff liaison to work specifically with
affordable housing developers and their representatives. The City has hired a
consulting firm to assist in program administration.
• Public Outreach: The City continues to educate the public about the social and
economic benefits of affordable housing.
• Fast Track and Priority Processing: Expediting of affordable housing construction
projects through all phases of the approval process.
• Develooment Standard Flexibility: The City considers flexible modifications of
development standards identified in the Zoning Code.

Other Actions 91.220(k)
17. Describe the actions that will take place during the next year to address
obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable
housing, evaluate and reduce the number of housing units containing lead-
based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families develop
institutional structure, enhance coordination between public and private
agencies (see 91.215(a), (b), (1), (j), (k), and (1)).
Lead based paint hazards. The primary program that identified and mitigated lead
based paint hazards for the City was the Residential Improvement Program
previously funded under Temecula's Redevelopment Agency (RDA). Since the
elimination of redevelopment, the City is working to create strategies to reduce lead-
based paint hazards.
While the City of Temecula does not currently have a stand-alone lead prevention
program, the City will continue to work closely with the County of Riverside to
address these issues. The County provides services, education, referrals, and public
health assistance to Temecula residents through its HIV/AIDS programs, Lead
Hazard Control Program, Elderly Services/Office of Aging, Homeless Program Units,
Substance Abuse Programs, Mental Health Programs, and Anti-Poverty Programs.
Additionally, the City and its CDBG subrecipients provide lead based paint brochures
to qualified homeowners who participate in the City's home rehabilitation program —
Critical Home Maintenance and Repairs Program administered by Habitat for
Humanity Inland Valley.
Families living in poverty. Poverty is defined by the Social Security Administration
as the minimum income an individual must have to survive at a particular point in
time. Although there are many causes of poverty, some of the "more pronounced"
causes of poverty include the following:
• Low income-eaming capability;
• Low educational attainments and job skills;
• Discrimination; and
• Person limitations (e.g. developmental and physical disabilities, mental illness,
drug/alcohol dependency, etc.)
Some other important causes of poverty related to those mentioned above include:
unemployment or underemployment; lack of affordable, decent housing; negative
images of people who are recipients of assistance; the lack of available funding; and
lack of policy and widespread community support for poverty issues (this includes
the lack of additional federal and state funding programs to address the problem of
poverty); lack of affordable childcare and health care; age; cultural and language
barriers; lack of behavioral changes of people in poverty; limited access to services;
and domestic abuse.
Although the many and varied solutions for the reduction or elimination of poverty
appear endless, costly, and complex, the City employs a variety of strategies to help
reduce the number of households with incomes below the poverty line, including
efforts to stimulate economic growth and additional job opportunities. An example
Pg. 34
2016-2017 CITY OF TEMECULA
would be economic development activities that help create additional jobs. Economic
development opportunities, such as higher paying jobs, are very important.
The City's primary emphasis locally in regard to anti-poverty strategies is to provide
adequate housing to low-income families and fund a range of support services that
will assist them in meeting their basic needs, including food, health care, supportive
services and transportation. A number of such support programs are funded through
the Annual Action Plan, public services process. Other programs are provided locally
through other funding mechanisms.
It is difficult in the current economic climate to reduce poverty; instead, many
jurisdictions focus on stabilizing those households most at-risk of poverty and
homelessness. Between 2000 and 2010, the poverty rate of Temecula doubled, from
7 percent to 14 percent. The City's goal during the next five years is to prevent future
increases in poverty by providing a safety net of support services for those
households who have experienced job and economic losses.
Managing the Process. The Community Development Department staff oversees
the comprehensive administration of the City's CDBG Program and the monitoring of
all program activities. The Community Development staff works in cooperation with
the Finance Department staff to manage and monitor CDBG funds jointly.
For Program Year 2016-2017 the City's CDBG Program can be summarized into four
(4) main Program/Project Categories:
1. Housing Activities and Continuum of Care
2. Public Services
3. Community Facilities& Infrastructure Projects
4. CDBG Program Administration & Planning
The Community Development staff is responsible for the preparation and submission
of all required reporting/documentation including: Five-Year Consolidated Plans,
Annual Action Plans, Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports
(CAPER), Subrecipient Agreements, procurement contracts, CDBG Program
Policies & Procedures, Environmental Review Record (ERR), notices/publication
announcements for meetings, and program forms.
Institutional Structure. For its inaugural Consolidated Plan the City of Temecula
purposefully elected to structure its CDBG Program under a simple framework. The
roles of the various City departments and other entities (public and private) involved
in the implementation of the City's CDBG Program, including the 2016-2017 Program
Year, are outline below:
City Managers Office: Responsible for the day-to-day operations of the City,
including financial commitments and program staffing. The Office ensures that City
services, including the CDBG program, are performed to the highest standard in
accordance with the City Council's goals and policies. The Office also participates in
CDBG programs and projects that encourage investment in the community, create
jobs, and provide opportunities for residents and businesses.
' Community Development Department: Coordinates the preparation of the
Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and the Consolidated Annual Performance
Evaluation Report (CAPER). The Department administers the CDBG programs,
Pg. 35
2016-2017 CITY OF TEMECULA
' ensures satisfactory product and service delivery by all public service grantees, and
is responsible for meeting all HUD CDBG program requirements. In November
2015, the City hired MDG Associates, Inc., to assist in the preparation of the required
documents and to monitor its subrecipients.
Finance Department: Responsible for managing the accounting, purchasing and
budgeting operations. The Department is actively involved with the coordination of
CDBG program revenue forecasts, project expenditures and reimbursement of grant
funds.
Public Works Department: Responsible for maintaining and operating all City-owned
facilities including publicly maintained streets, parks, street lights, some drainage
facilities, and traffic signals. The Department is actively involved in the selection,
implementation, and monitoring of CDBG infrastructure and public facilities projects.
Housing and Homeless Coalition of Riverside County for the Continuum of Care for
Homelessness: Consists of representatives from public and private entities. Focuses
on assessing the need for homeless and affordable housing services throughout
Riverside County and recommend a continuum of care plan for the County on behalf
of at risk and homeless individuals and families.
Non-Prof'd A ems: Represent local non-profit entities providing a wide array of
services to the community. The City collaborates with various nonprofit entities on
many projects, including the City's CDBG Program.
Monitoring. Additionally, the Community Development staff, with the assistance
from MDG Associates, Inc., is responsible for monitoring all projects and review all
reimbursement requests. Staff oversees the monitoring of all public services
subrecipients as well as coordinates with other departments staff on the completion
of community facilities and/or infrastructure projects. Infrastructure and/or
Community Facilities Projects include direct participation from the Engineering/Public
Works Departments.
The City's institutional structure for carrying out housing and community
development activities is efficient. Performance of CDBG funded projects and
activities are monitored in various ways depending on type of program and reporting
requirements. Monitoring is viewed as a way to identify deficiencies and promote
corrections in order to improve performance. The actual activity of monitoring helps
promote quality performance, as well as identify any need for further technical
assistance. The following is a description of the types of monitoring performed by
staff:
Performance Monitoring: Monitoring activities includes spot check monitoring of
sub recipients which includes a review of reporting information to ensure compliance
with the HUD requirement that beneficiaries be low income. Comprehensive
monitoring includes on-site visits, interviews, telephone contacts and reports.
Subrecipient Agreements are used to measure compliance by grant recipients.
Financial Monitoring: All project costs are paid on a reimbursement basis. A
request for reimbursement must have appropriate documentation attached to verify
all expenditures. A current report of program activities must also be attached to the
draw down request. Expenditures are not paid in advance.
Pg. 36
2016-2017 CITY OF TEMECULA
The combination of data from the request and the program activities report provides
the information necessary to input data into the IDIS system. Collecting this data
during the program year is helpful in compiling reports. By requiring documentation in
association with reimbursement, the City's Community Development staff are able to
closely monitor program requirements and ensure that program goals are being met.
Reporting/Tracking Systems: Performance is tracked and reported as stated
above. Community Development staff reviews the reports and any discrepancies are
addressed with the appropriate entities. Records on performance are kept in the
project file. Accuracy of data is confirmed by site visits and monitoring.
Environmental Review Compliance: Each project that is budgeted is first reviewed
for compliance with the NEPA (National Environmental Protection Agency
regulations). CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) regulations may also
apply. Projects that are community service in nature are exempt from NEPA.
Once the environmental analysis is determined, staff prepares the appropriate
paperwork. When environmental clearance has been obtained, the project can move
forward to City Council and/or bid, etc. as appropriate. The CDBG Planner monitors
all environmental reviews.
18. Describe the actions to coordinate its housing strategy with local and regional
transportation planning strategies to ensure to the extent practicable that
residents of affordable housing have access to public transportation.
' As a member of the Southern California Association of Government (SCAG), the City
of Temecula has been actively involved in regional activities and community forums
offered by SCAG. The purpose of SCAG's Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and
Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) is to provide a vision for transportation
investments throughout the region. The City regularly expresses its needs and goals
with respect to transportation at the various regional activities and community forums
offered by SCAG and the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG).
Transit-oriented development (TOD) is increasingly recognized as having the
potential to improve the quality of fife for American households, by creating vibrant,
livable communities in proximity to transit. Improved access to transit can reduce
transportation costs for working families and mitigate the negative impacts of
automobile travel on the environment and the economy.
The need for a mix of housing types that is affordable to a range of family incomes in
proximity to transit is an important policy concern for the City of Temecula. The City
has clearly identified several key priorities to achieve its transportation mobility and
connectivity goals. These goals include working with local and regional transportation
partners to leverage existing resources for all available transportation modes, and
supporting local and regional efforts to enhance transit opportunities, including transit
centers and park and ride facilities.
The City most recently was a partner on a multi-jurisdictional effort to establish
livable communities' concepts, and a sustainable transportation system that
' addresses mobility, access, and safety along a 16-mile corridor. The plan identified
multi-modal opportunities to help create live-work and TOD communities with better
access to public transit in the future. The City is committed to effective collaboration
Pg. 37
2016-2017 CITY OF TEMECULA
' with many partners in order to achieve its public transportation priorities. The study
is completed and implementation is underway and will continue in 2016.
In December 2015, the City adopted a Specific Plan to redevelop the Jefferson
Corridor as a transit-oriented development (TOD) destination with multiple nodes
including financial services, hotels, restaurants, light industrial and residential hubs
linking to a nearby transit center, and the Old Town area at the south end of the
corridor. The plan which will include housing will be implemented over the next
several years.
Through the recent Housing Element Update, the City has identified sites that are
suitable for the development of housing for very-low and low-income households. A
percentage of these sites are located in the Old Town area and therefore close to
retail opportunities, transit, and other services. Furthermore, the City's Housing
Element analysis has determined that sufficient land is available and zoned
adequately to address the lower-income housing need projected through 2021. The
City aims to encourage the development of housing units in mixed-use areas, which
better provide for access to transit, goods, services, and employment opportunities.

City will rededicate funding sources to address the needs in other areas. The
backup project will be funded if this occurs as described earlier in this plan or the
' sidewalk project will be expanded.
Priority changes in public facilities and infrastructure needs will be rededicated to
public projects identified to meet the City's five-year priority objectives.
• Funding changes or elimination of public service activities will be rededicated to
other, eligible public service activities and providers that submitted eligible
applications and programs within the previous (most current) year's application
cycle.
• Completion of one (1) project, with additional funding, primarily for public facilities
and/or infrastructure, will be rededicated to another public facilities or

' Labor Standards. As a requirement of the CDBG Program, the City of Temecula is
required to provide business opportunities to minority and women-owned businesses in
connection with the activities funded through the CDBG Program. This applies to all
Pg. 39
2016-2017 CITY OF TEMECULA
' contracting and subcontracting funded in whole or in part from CDBG funds. OMB Super
Circular found in 2 CFR Part 200 specifically indicates, "It is national policy to award a
fair share of contracts to small and minority business firms. Grantees shall take similar
appropriate affirmative action in support of women's enterprises and are encouraged to
procure goods and services from labor surplus areas." Further, the Uniform
Administrative Requirements of 2 CFR Part 200 require the City to "take all necessary
affirmative steps to assure that minority firms, women's business enterprises, and labor
surplus area firms are used when possible." Lastly, under Section 570.507(b) – Reports

The population proportion of all minority groups increased in between 2000 and 2010,
while the non-Hispanic white population proportion dropped from 69 percent to 57
percent. Despite this increase in diversity, Temecula still has a smaller minority
population than Riverside County as a whole. In Riverside County, the Hispanic
population (45%) outnumbers the non-Hispanic white population (40%).
One of the key components of a demographic analysis is an examination of the
concentration of racial and ethnic minorities within a jurisdiction to detect evidence of
segregation. In some cases, minority concentrations are a reflection of preferences-
e.g., minorities may choose to live near family and friends of the same race/ethnicities or
' where they have access to grocery stores or restaurants that cater to them. In other
cases, minority populations are intentionally steered away or discouraged from living in
certain areas. Housing prices can also heavily influence where minorities live, to the

' extent that there are economic disparities among persons of different races and
ethnicities.
According to HUD, an area of racial and ethnic concentration (also called a "minority
impacted area") is defined as where the percentage of persons in a particular race or
ethnic group is at least 20 percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in
the category for the city as a whole.
Using the above definition of concentration, block groups in Temecula have a
concentration I the following exists:
• A non-Hispanic white population proportion of 77 percent and more;
• A Hispanic population proportion of 45 percent and more;
• An Asian population proportion of 30 percent and more; and
• A Black or African American population proportion of 24 percent and more.
Figure AP-2 shows the percentage of non-Hispanic white residents within each block
group in the City. There are no block groups within city boundaries that are 77 percent or
more non-Hispanic white; however one (1) block group immediately east of Temecula is
non-Hispanic white-concentrated.
