GENOVESE City Treasurer M E M O R A N D U M TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development DATE: May 15, 1987 (City Council meeting of 5/20/87) SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING ON 1987 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT - ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM BACKGROUND The City of Moorpark is eligible for two different Community w Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs. One of these programs, the Small Cities program is administered through the State with funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Small Cities program has been in effect in Moorpark since 1985. The amount of this grant is $600,000. This is a single award and is being used exclusively in an agreement between the City and Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation to develop the 62 unit Villa Campesina project for low income housing. The other grant, the Entitlement program (also known as the Urban County program) is also funded through HUD, but is administered through the County. The Entitlement grant is a multiple year program initially established for a three year period over the years 1986; 1987; and 1988. The funding is allotted separately each year, and the precise amount is not known at the beginning of the three year period as to what the amount will be for each of the three years. The amount may vary each year. The County of Ventura and the six smaller cities in the County are eligible to participate in the Entitlement program. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, Califomia 93021 (805) 529-6864 a • Although the Entitlement program began last year the City has been permitted by the County to defer the processing of 1986 funds to this year and the two years 1986 and 1987 be combined for processing purposes. Next year the 1988 allotment will be processed independently from the first two years. The City' s allocation for 1986 is $113, 160 plus $20,500 for administration. The 1987 allocation is $113,546 plus an administrative provision of $20,500. (The 1988 allocation has yet to be determined). Funds received by the City could be used for any eligible community development activity. The funds must address one of the three national objectives of the program, i .e. benefit low and moderate income people, eliminate or prevent slums and blight or, when no other financial resources are available, meet other community needs which are particularly urgent because existing conditions pose a serious or immediate threat to the health and welfare of the community. General categories of eligible projects are economic development, housing development or rehabilitation and public facilities. Pursuant to federal requirements a minimum of 51% of funds allocated must be used to benefit low income persons. This is determined by eligible census tracts. DISCUSSION The City has received two proposals for use of the funds. One proposal is from Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation and requests $50,000 for each of the three years to complete the previously mentioned 62 unit Villa Campesina project. The second proposal is from Networking for Housing in Ventura County. This proposal is to establish a revolving loan fund that would provide for affordable housing projects. The proposed use of the funds are aimed at being able to provide affordable housing develoners with scarce pre-development funds. In terms of the City' s own needs, a variety of projects could be considered that are among the eligible activities. Since the City has already devoted a substantial portion of other CDBG funds (from the state administered small cities program) to affordable housing, staff recommends use of the allotted funds for physical public improvements. Specifically a program of installing new curb, gutter, and sidewalk in qualified census tract areas is suggested. this would meet the goals of the program and show physical improvements to an area in need of them. The above use of the funds is also suggested for another reason. These types of project are considered "categorically excluded" under Federal requirements and require no -2- environmentsl review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). It would be easier to administer this type of program and receive quicker approval of the allocation. RECOMMENDATION Pending public testimony, accept the staff recommendation to utilize funds for a physical improvement program and authorize the staff to proceed with processing of the grant with the County of Ventura pursuant to federal requirements.

Cortes, President, Villa Campesina Steve Kueney, City Manager A uno"Way Aoency MAR 13 1967 A community economic development corporation serving Ventura County CITY OF IVIOORPIARK Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation CDBG Proposal to the City of Moorpark Organizational Background The Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) is a private nonprofit community economic development corporation serving Ventura County. Its mission includes the development of affordable housing for low and moderate income families. The CEDC was incorporated in 1981 as the successor to the Cabrillo Improvement Association, Inc. To date, the CEDC has accounted for the development of 282 low cost housing units : 128 single family homes in Santa Paula (as consultants ) , and 154 units in Saticoy through the Cabrillo Cooperative Housing Corporation Cabrillo Village project (80 single family units and 74 multifamily units ) . Our present work program includes 190 units in active development. The Villa Campesina project, 62 mutual self help low income single family nomes, will begin site improvements in July of this year in Moorpark; the homes will carry Farmers Home Administration (FmHri) mortgages of under $60 , 000 . Twenty-eight ( 28 ) units of moderate income single family homes are scheduled to go into construction in May of this year in the Avenue community of Ventura; the homes will sell for an average of $120 , 000 . Last, 100 units are planned, with financing committed for 50 units , in the Rancho 5espe replacement housing project near Piru. a All of these projects , except the Santa Paula project, have received previous CDBG funding support as a key element in making them possible. A total of 344 units representing a reinvestment of over $17 million have received this CDBG support. The services that the CEDC provides include housing resource development ; community development technical assistance, aimed at working with neighborhood groups ; housing development training and technical assistance ; land acquisition ; development and construction; and property management. The CEDC ' s major funding sources for project management include the United Way of Ventura County, private foundation and government grants , and development fees . Major development funding sources include the Farmers Home Administration ; the California Department of Housing and Community Development ( HCD) ; financial intermediaries , including the Local Initiatives Support Corporation ( LISC ) , the Housing Assistance Council (HAC) , and Affirmative Investments (AI ) ; and private institutional lenders . -1- Proposal The CEDC requests funds as follows : 1986-1987 $20 , 000 VCC completion $30 , 000 second project $50 , 000 total 1987-1988 $50 , 000 second project 1988-1989 $50 , 000 second project The completion of the 62 unit mutual self help housing project (Villa Campesina ) has taken longer than anticipated, primarily due to delays because of CDBG administration requirements and external factors affecting the timing of site improvements design . Therefore, the CEDC expects that it will have administrative costs for the project of approximately $50 , 000 in 1987 , but only has approximately $30 , 000 committed to cover these costs . Thus the CEDC requests $20 , 000 to cover its final project management costs on the Villa Campesina project. For the Villa Campesina 62 unit mutual self help housing project , an Updated Schedule and a Development Financing Summary are attached. The CEDC requests an additional $130 , 000 in project management and predevelopment costs over a three year period to initiate a second housing project affordable to low income families . The CEDC believes that its experience in developing the first project gives it a unique ability to meet the need for additional low income housing. The CEDC is committed to work with the Moorpark community, the Villa Campesina community group, and the City of Moorpark to develop a second project that meets the need for affordable low income housing and improves the City of Moorpark. By providing a three year funding commitment to this project, the City will expedite the project in the front end, when development is the most difficult because of the lack of financial resources and development commitments . A preliminary schedule for the development of this second project is attached. This second project would benefit 50 low income families in the Moorpark area. It would help to meet the serious need for housing affordable to low income families in Moorpark. Although much new housing construction is taking place in Moorpark , it is not meeting the needs of lower income families . Our proposal is consistent with the City ' s Housing Element, which calls for the construction of 200 units of affordable housing for lower income families by 1989 . -2- We propose that the City enter into a contract with the Villa Campesina Corporation, which as a neighborhood based nonprofit organization under the CDBG regulations (Section 570 . 204 (c) (1 ) ) is eligible to receive such funds . Villa Campesina would contract with the CBDC to provide services. The proposed activity is eligible under the CDBG regulations under Section 570. 205 (a) ( 3 ) (i ) . It would fall under Item lh on the list of "Activities Which Are Traditionally Funded With CDBG Funds" attached to Peggy Daniels 2/10/87 memo on the CDBG program.

The fund is aimed at providing affordable housing developers with scarce predevelopment funds . We project that a county-wide fund of $595 , 000 will stimulate the production of 800 units over a five year period. Once the fund is established, private sector lending institutions will be approached to match the fund which could build it up to $1 million. All govern- ment jurisdictions are being asked to participate in this program. The recommended city share is $25 , 000 . Nineteen ( 19 ) organizations have endorsed this proposal . The AHRLF is an initial project of Networking for Housing in Ventura County (NETWORKING) . NETWORKING is a coalition of public and private interests representing private developers, housing nonprofit organiza- tions and housing authorities in the county. Our mission is to edu- cate the public about the need for affordable housing, expecially for families in the very low and low income categories (defined as 50% and 80% of the area median income ) . The AHRLF will help create 100 units of affordable housing in the county' s unincorporated neighbor- hoods . One of the objectives of this program is to establish a framework for all governments within the county to begin to work together toward in- creased affordable housing production. In this context, we are rec- ommending that the city participate with the county and NETWORKING members in establishing a working committee which will manage the fund, establish operating policies, propose guidelines and award loans to prospective applicants . Thank you, Mr. Rubin , the mayor and city manager for your considera- tion of this milestone proposal . Sincerely yours , f Lynn Jaco s LJ:dg Interim President --- Enclosure cc : Mayor Clint Harper 171987 City Planager Steve Kueney Y OF MOORPARK 1 Proposal to Establish an Affordable Housing Revolving Loan Fund Submitted to the City of Moorpark 1987 CDBG PROGRAM by Networking for Housing in Ventura County March 13, 1987 b NETWORKING FOR HOUSING IN VENTURA COUNTY 1987 CDBG PROGRAM • Please provide a brief description of your agency, the services you provide, and the major funding sources utilized to support your operations, from both an administrative and program standpoint) . Networking for Housing in Ventura County is a new coalition of public and private organizations. Its mission is to educate the public about the benefits of affordable housing, to raise resources, and to spur the production of 750 new units in a five- year period. (Please see the attached Mission statement and goals) . At the present time, eight (8) entities have joined Networking. In addition, we have received the endorsement of eleven (11) other groups, many of whom are presently considering membership. Networking is the first coalition in the county whose aim it is to advocate for affordable housing. Since Networking is an all-volunteer group, it does not seek funding to support itself. Members have contributed $50 each to defray the cost of monthly mailings. We are veYy committed to increasing the availability of resources for the production of affordable housing. We have defined affordable to mean very low income (50% of median) and low income (80% of median) . The affordable housing revolving loan fund is our first effort at trying to increase affordable housing resources in order to stimulate production. -1- NETWORKING FOR HOUSING IN VENTURA COUNTY 1536 Eastman Avenue, Suite 6A Ventura, California 93003 (805) 644-4453 Lynn Jacobs, Interim President PROGRAM NARRATIVE AND NEED STATEMENT_ AN OVERVIEW 1, Briefly describe the need (s) for which your proposed program or activity is designed to address.

The purpose is to stimulate the production of 800 units of affordable housing throughout the county in a five year period. (See page 2 of attachment B.) This proposal is submitted by Networking for Housing in Ventura County (Networking) . Networking is a coalition of public and private interests working together to increase the production of affordable housing. Networking is submitting this proposal to all local governments in Ventura County for funding consideration through their respective FY 1987/88 CDBG process. (See attachment C for a list of supporting groups) . Need The need for affordable housing in Ventura County is at a crisis stage. The need for affordable housing has increased since 1981 due to the following factors: 1. The federal government has reduced its total housing subsidy from $30 billion in 1981 to $10 billion in 1986. 2. As a result of the above, private developers have shifted their emphasis away from building affordable housing. 3. Growing numbers of local governments in the county have instituted limited growth policies. This serves to limit supply and push up demand and prices. The average price of all new detached housing during 1987 was $211, 167. At these prices, the cost of a single family home is beyond the reach of the majority of the population. The high cost of existing housing and the limited supply of new afford- able housing have an adverse effect on local businesses and industries' ability to attract skilled labor and management. This housing supply imbalance limits local government economic development strategies. Some observations on local problems that make a bad situation worse are that no coordination exists at a county-wide level to address the housing crisis; the private sector has virtually abandoned building units for very low and low income families; and local government fee structures, imposed on affordable housing, raise the prices even higher. According to the County General Plan Housing Element Technical Appendix, Table 28 Future Housing Needs Entire County p.65, there is a need for 7,482 very low income units (17.07%) and 9,804 low income units (22.3%) . Combined, this represents an unmet need for 17,286 units by 1988. -1- Goals The goal of the revolving loan fund is to establish a $5959000 r be used for the production of affordable housin esource base to be limited to very low and low income housing. g• Affordable in this context would g• The fund would be used to cover predevelopment costs such as options on land, engineering and architectural pre- liminary drawings and development fees. administrative costs.

Use of the fund would be targeted to very low (50% of median income) and low (80% of median income) income housing projects. 2. As far as practical, loan funds would be distributed consistent with the total funds contributed by any one jurisdiction. 3. Participating jurisdictions and Networking would send a representative to manage the fund through a loan committee. 4. Additional policies would be drafted by the committee for appropriate policy body review and approval. -3- Schedule Vam'-o Project Manager: As of date: 10-Mar-81 8:51a4 Schedule File: E:17L\TLCA'AV CC-COMB 87 87 81 88 Feb Mar Apr Ray Jun Jul A" Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Who Status 9 17 23 2 9 16 23 30 6 13 20 27 4 11 18 26 1 8 15 22 29 7 13 20 27 3 10 17 24 31 8 14 21 28 5 13 19 26 2 9 16 23 30 7 14 21 28 4 11 18 25 1 B 16 22 29 7 14 County Waterworks Ist check 1 . .I , City Ist improvement check C .........41..11................

We are writing to brief you on the responses we obtained from the County staff representative, Ms . Peggy Daniels , and to request consider- ation of an amendment to our proposal . The review of the affordable housing loan fund proposal by Ms. Daniels was positive with some suggestions for handling eligible entitity during the start-up period. Ms . Daniels will be making a positive recommendation to the County Board of Supervisors at the first hearing on April 7 . Her recommendation is based on the need , the proven effectiveness of revolving loan funds, the leveraging factor that can accrue as a result of capitalizing the fund, and the prospects for greater coordination by the cities and the county to deal in a proactive manner with the growing affordable housing crisis . Our amendment to you is regarding the eligible entity. As you know, NETWORKING is a relatively new coalition and by choice, to date has chosen not to incorporate. HUD CDBG regulations specify an entity must be a legal corporation. Based on our discussion with county staff , we are recommending that you continue to consider the re- volving loan fund for set-aside funding. Furthermore, we are rec- ommending that once a set-aside decision has been made, that your city designate a representative , who along with Ms . Daniels and representatives of NETWORKING, meet to work through appropriate entity solutions . This would then be reported back to the various policy bodies for their approval . In addition, should some unforeseen problems arise, the funds would be reallocated as appropriate and as determined by each entity. We thank you for your review of this matter. Please note that Karen Flock ( 659-3791 ) is the designated NETWORKING representative for your area. Please call her so that she can attend the public hearing. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. Sincerely, Lynn Jac s REF:dg L Interim President m.. ` M: 3 . . .
