05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b) Introduction The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the City of South San Francisco (City) to prepare an Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) in order to receive federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. HUD Programs have three basic goals to assist extremely low, very-low, and low income persons by: 1. Providing decent and affordable housing; 2. Providing a suitable living environment; and 3. Expanding economic opportunities The City's Action Plan for fiscal year 2015-2016, in conjunction with its Five Year Consolidated Plan (2013-2018), furthers these goals by assessing the housing and community development needs and resources of the City and outlines a strategy on how it plans to address those needs. The City is also a participating jurisdiction in the San Mateo County HOME Consortium and therefore submits its federal application for funding as part of the HOME Consortium. See Attachment A for a summary of funds available and proposed activities. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The City's Action Plan identifies the following needs and has developed goals and activities that address both the City’s needs and further HUD's program goals: • Need: Affordable Housing Goal: Increase, maintain, and improve the supply of affordable housing for extremely low to low income individuals and families. Activities: The City will use CDBG funds for housing rehabilitation and minor home repair/accessibility modification programs. Additionally, the City will continue to administer its existing first time homebuyer loan portfolio and below market rate housing units. • Need: Public Services Goal: Provide public services to improve the quality of life for low-income individuals and families, including those at risk of becoming homeless and special needs populations. Activities: The City will allocate 15% of its current year entitlement grant and 15% of prior year program income to the following public services: Community Overcoming DR A F T Exhibit C 5 Annual Action Plan 2015 3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Relationship Abuse (CORA), Health Mobile, HIP Housing, John’s Closet, Legal Aid Society, Parca, Rape Trauma Services Center, Samaritan House, and Star Vista. • Need: Economic Development Goal: Sustain and/or increase the level of business and economic activity in areas that serve or have a high percentage of low-income residents. Activities: For FY 15-16, the City will use CDBG funding leveraged with General Fund dollars to continue to implement the City’s Downtown Façade & Tenant Improvement Program which provides grants and loans to Downtown businesses to undertake façade and tenant improvements. Additionally, the City will use CDBG funding for public right of way (ROW) improvement projects in the Downtown. These ROW projects will include new banners, trash cans, and bike racks. • Need: Homeless Services and Housing Goal: Provide service-enriched shelter and housing for homeless families and individuals. Activities: The City will provide CDBG funding under the public service category to Samaritan House and CORA. Samaritan House operates the Safe Harbor Shelter, which is a 90 bed homeless shelter located in South San Francisco that provides both emergency and transitional housing for homeless individuals. CORA provides emergency shelter for those seeking refuge from domestic violence or abuse. The City will also continue to work with the Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) to move the most difficult, long term homeless individuals out of the Downtown area by placing them in emergency shelters and connecting them with County medical and rehabilitation services. This includes the City’s participation in the HOT’s Case Manager Group and Oversight Committee. Evaluation of past performance During the course of the City's prior Five Year Consolidated Plan (2008-2013), the City carried out a strategic plan which sought to increase and maintain the supply of affordable housing in the City and to improve the community. Over the five year period, the City used Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and CDBG funds to increase and maintain the City's affordable housing stock, including the construction of 109 affordable units along a transit corridor. RDA funds were also utilized to support family and individual homeless shelters and homeless services in the area. CDBG funds were used to support the City's Housing and Commercial Rehabilitation Programs. The City leveraged both CDBG and RDA funds to support minor home repair and accessibility modification programs, which has helped maintain existing affordable housing and improved living conditions for residents. The City also made efforts to improve the community by funding numerous non-profit organizations that provided a wide variety of public services which included: child care, senior services, battered spouse services, youth services, general social services, and disabled services. DR A F T Exhibit C 6 Annual Action Plan 2015 4 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Last year, FY 14-15, the City made great strides in addressing the needs of the community. For example, the City provided funding to Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse (CORA), Health Mobile, HIP Housing, John’s Closet, Legal Aid Society, Parca, Rape Trauma Services Center, Samaritan House, and Star Vista. Additionally, CDBG funds were used for housing rehabilitation activities such as the Center for Independence of Individuals with Disabilities (CID) Housing Accessibility Modification Program and Rebuilding Together Peninsula’s Safe at Home and National Rebuilding Day Programs. The City also provided assistance through its Housing Rehabilitation Program. The City also worked toward improving the downtown area by undertaking public right of way (ROW) improvements along Grand Avenue. These ROW improvements included new bike racks, banners, lighting, and trash receptacles that encourage recycling. While the City made strong efforts to increase and maintain the supply of affordable housing and to improve the community, it faced many challenges, especially with the dissolution of RDAs and declining CDBG funding. The City was forced to cut many programs that were traditionally funded by the City and will continue to face funding challenges during the implementation of the current Five Year Consolidated Plan and Action Plan. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process The citizen participation process for the FY 2015-16 Action Plan has been executed as follows: (See Section AP-12 Participation and Attachments B and C for additional information) • Public Hearings: The City conducted a Community Development Needs Assessment Public Hearing before the City Council on March 11, 2015, asking the public to comment on the housing, community, and economic development needs of the City. Seven (7) public comments were received. Additionally, the City will hold a second public hearing on April 22, 2015 to make final funding allocations and to adopt this Action Plan. • A 30-day Public Review: The Action Plan was made available for public review from March 21, 2015 through April 22, 2015. • Public Notices: Public Notices for the two hearings were published in the San Mateo County Times on February 24, 2015, and March 21, 2015. • Online Outreach: The City noticed all of the CDBG related public hearings through the City’s website and Facebook page. The City also sent email notifications to the current CDBG subrecipients and the City’s CDBG and Economic & Community Development listservs. • Public Meetings: The City held public CDBG Subcommittee meetings on December 9, 2014, February 5, 2015, and March 12, 2015.

Website: www.ssf.net DR A F T Exhibit C 9 Annual Action Plan 2015 7 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) AP - 10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l) Introduction The City of South San Francisco consulted with a wide variety of local non-profit organizations, the Continuum of Care (CoC), the San Mateo County Housing Authority, the South San Francisco Housing Authority, the San Mateo County Department of Health, other City departments, the South San Francisco Downtown Task Force, and other community stakeholders in order to develop its current Five Year Consolidated Plan. Further, many of the local non-profit organizations also produce reports concerning the needs of the demographic they serve; this information is also utilized in the plan development. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)). During this Action Plan period, the City will work on strengthening its relationships with organizations that serve the public, especially low-income residents. Specific efforts will include: • Work with the County of San Mateo and other entitlement jurisdictions to coordinate and streamline CDBG processes • Participate in the San Mateo County HOME Consortium and provide representation on the County’s Housing and Community Development Committee • Work closely with non-profit social service providers, the County, other entitlement jurisdictions, the School District, and other community providers to coordinate the delivery of services to residents • Fund non-profit organizations serving low-income residents • Work with non-profit organizations and private developers to build and/or maintain affordable housing • Work with the Continuum of Care (CoC) to better coordinate homeless services • Work with the Homeless Outreach Team to move the most difficult, long term homeless individuals out of the Downtown area by placing them in shelters and connecting them with County medical and rehabilitation services. This includes the City’s participation on the HOT Case Manager Group and Oversight Committee • Work with local businesses and the Chamber of Commerce on downtown beautification and other projects to improve the Downtown Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. The City has a seat on the Continuum of Care (CoC) Steering Committee and is involved in all CoC decision-making. The CoC Steering Committee is the organized group that guides the DR A F T Exhibit C 10 Annual Action Plan 2015 8 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) implementation of San Mateo County's homeless services system. The CoC undertakes a wide range of efforts to meet the needs of homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness: • Chronically Homeless The CoC has created multi-disciplinary, bilingual, Homeless Outreach Teams (HOT) to conduct intensive outreach with the chronically homeless people throughout the County and to help them move into permanent housing. South San Francisco’s HOT program was implemented in FY 13-14. City staff, police, and elected officials actively participate in the HOT program. • Families with Children The CoC has developed a rapid re-housing program which provides short-term rental assistance plus case management to homeless families. The San Mateo County Human Services Agency has also provided funding for a motel voucher program to assist families that are waiting to access shelter. • Veterans The CoC is working with the Veterans Task Force, convened in 2012 by the County Board of Supervisors, to improve county-wide efforts to outreach to homeless and at-risk veterans, to assess their service and housing needs, to and help them access needed resources, including Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing vouchers and veterans’ benefits. • Youth CoC funds are provided to the County Mental Health Association to operate its Support and Advocacy for Youth in Transition Program, which provides case management and housing search/stabilization services to homeless youth. The San Mateo County Housing Authority also has Family Unification Program Vouchers for youth leaving the foster care system. Additionally, the CoC has established specific objectives for reducing homelessness at both the system and project level. System-Wide Objectives The San Mateo County CoC 10 Year Plan (adopted in 2006) lays out the community’s overall strategy for reducing and ending homelessness. The plan includes the following specific objectives: • 7,900 individual and family households in San Mateo County who have been homeless or at severe risk of homelessness will secure and maintain safe, permanent, accessible, affordable, and where needed, supportive housing. DR A F T Exhibit C 11 Annual Action Plan 2015 9 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) • 4,300 individual and family households will receive short-term assistance to secure or maintain housing. Although these objectives have proven to be an effective way to set goals and evaluate progress, they are not fully aligned with the objectives set forth in the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act (HEARTH) and in the federal strategic plan, Opening Doors. The CoC has convened a System Design Subcommittee that is working on the development of system-wide quantitative objectives for the following HEARTH outcomes: • Reductions in total numbers of homeless people (including specific goals for reducing chronic, veterans, and family homelessness); • Reductions in the number of new entries into homelessness; • Reductions in the rate of returns to homelessness; and • Reductions in the length of time people are homeless. Project-Level Objectives The CoC has the following objective performance standards that are used on an ongoing basis to evaluate the effectiveness of all projects within the homeless system: • Percentage of exits to permanent housing; • Housing retention rate; • Participants obtaining employment income during program participation; • Participants increasing total income during program participation; • Program occupancy levels; • CoC/ Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) grant spending rates; and • Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data quality Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) As previously mentioned, the City has a seat on the Coc Steering Committee and meets on a quarterly basis to make decisions regarding the planning, funding, and operation of the CoC. Additionally, the City sits on the COC Funding/Project Review Subcommittee which reviews renewal and new projects seeking CoC funding. The City does not receive ESG funding as the County Department of Housing (DOH) is the only ESG recipient in the County. However, the City does have a designated spot on the DOH's Housing & Community Development Committee (HCDC) which advises the County Board of Supervisors on allocating County CDBG and HOME funding. Further the City participates in the CoC’s development of performance and evaluation standards along with the management of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). DR A F T Exhibit C 12 Annual Action Plan 2015 10 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Performance Standards In 2013 the CoC Steering Committee adopted Project Performance Standards and a Project Review and Ranking Process, for new and renewal projects seeking funding. See the System- Wide and Project-Level Objective sections above for more information. Evaluation of Project Outcomes • System-Wide Performance Measurement On an annual basis, the CoC Lead Agency, the San Mateo County Center on Homelessness (COH) compiles a report on how well the community is meeting the objectives set forth in the HOPE Plan. This includes an analysis of housing development data to track the creation of new units of affordable housing and an analysis of HMIS and Core Service Agency data to track the numbers of households receiving assistance. Additionally, the CoC’s System Design Subcommittee is developing a set of system-wide performance measures that align with HEARTH and Opening Doors. This work will include developing a recommended methodology for measuring average length of homelessness that includes the time prior to program intake. The CoC’s System Design Subcommittee will be researching possible methodologies for a more complete tracking of returns to homelessness, including any further HUD guidance if available. • Project-Level Performance Measurement The COH regularly monitors all emergency shelter, transitional housing, outreach, supportive housing, rapid re-housing, and prevention programs which includes site visits, analysis of spending rates, and a review of occupancy data. The monitoring process also includes a review of whether projects are meeting the CoC’s project performance standards. In addition, the Project Performance Subcommittee works with the COH to conduct an annual assessment of how well projects are performing, identifies those projects that are underachieving, and recommends whether projects should be offered technical assistance or should be candidates for re-allocation of their CoC funds. Also each project in the CoC receives an annual performance report detailing their results in meeting both HUD’s and the CoC’s established performance measures. Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) On July 1, 2014, the San Mateo County Human Services Agency, the designated HMIS Lead Agency, launched a new version of the HMIS. The new system incorporates the latest HUD published data standards and should improve the ease of data input and data quality. Additionally, as described in the CoC’s Governance Charter, on an annual basis the CoC will review, revise, and approve (as applicable) the privacy, security, and data quality plans for the HMIS. The CoC will also ensure consistent participation of sub recipients in the HMIS, and ensure that the HMIS is administered in compliance with HMIS Data Standards.

Table 3 - Other local / regional / federal planning efforts Narrative The City of South San Francisco, the County of San Mateo and the other entitlement jurisdictions (Daly City, San Mateo, and Redwood City) have developed a "CDBG Working Group" which meets regularly to enhance and streamline the CDBG process for both the jurisdictions and subrecipients. The work group collectively organizes community forums, requests for proposals, and joint monitoring of subrecipients. Additionally, the work group has implemented the use of standardized applications, reporting, and reimbursement forms for subrecipients through a common online grant management system. The work group shares information regarding subrecipients and how to handle issues that may arise for the subrecipients such as reporting, invoicing, or actions needed to correct and track performance.

As a member of this consortium the City receives 1% of the County's annual HOME allocation for administrative purposes. The City uses these funds for fair housing activities. DR A F T Exhibit C 21 Annual Action Plan 2015 19 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied Leveraging CDBG funds continues to be a greater challenge with the dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies statewide. In the past, CDBG funds were able to leverage significant amounts of RDA funding for housing and commercial projects. Cuts to CDBG entitlement amounts over the last five years have also required the City to cut funding to nearly half of the public service organizations once provided yearly operating funds. Overall, CDBG funding is not sufficient to leverage significant funds and now can only be provided as a small match in attempt to secure what other non-federal funding might be available. For FY 15-16, the City has made improving the Downtown a priority and will use CDBG to support public right of way improvements and business rehabilitation projects in the Downtown. To supplement these projects, the City will also leverage $200,000 in General Fund money to support the Downtown Façade & Tenant Improvement Program. If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan Over the years, the City's RDA had acquired several residential and commercial properties however with the dissolution of RDAs the City is required to sell all its commercial properties and return all proceeds to the State. On the other hand, the City was able to retain its residential properties and continue to provide them as affordable units. These properties are rented to low income tenants at affordable rates. Additionally, a portion of the City’s residential units are rented to the County of San Mateo’s Emancipated Foster Youth Program. This provides affordable housing to the Emancipated Foster Youth Program participants. CDBG funds have also helped improve city-owned properties that are used to provide services to low and moderate income or special needs residents such as parks, libraries, and the senior center. CDBG funds do not subsidize, in any way, the operations of those city-owned facilities but have provided accessibility and non-routine maintenance improvements.

Additionally, the City will continue to administer its existing first time homebuyer loans and below market rate housing units. 2 Goal Name Provide Public Services to Improve Quality of Life Goal Description For FY 15-16, the City will allocate 15% of its annual entitlement and 15% of its prior year program income to non-profit organizations that provide public services. The City anticipates serving 585 low to moderate income residents in FY 15-16. 3 Goal Name Sustain and/or Increase Economic Activity Goal Description For FY 15-16, the City will use CDBG funding for public Right of Way (ROW) beautification projects in the Downtown Area which is a low income target area. The ROW Projects will include new trash cans, bike racks, and banners along Linden Avenue. This is a low cost way of making a visual difference in the look and feel of the City’s Downtown. These efforts will help retain and attract new patrons of the Downtown. Additionally, the City will use CDBG funds leveraged with General Fund money to support the Downtown Façade & Tenant Improvement Program. In prior years, the City used RDA funding to provide large scale rehabilitation loans to Downtown businesses along with using CDBG funding for small loans and grants for businesses undertaking façade improvements. However, due to the loss of RDA funding and dwindling CDBG funding these programs have been minimal in the last couple of years. In order to make a larger impact on the Downtown, the City has resumed making larger-scale tenant improvement loans and expanded its existing façade program. Therefore, the City has allocated General Fund money to reinvigorate the program. 4 Goal Name Provide Service-Enriched Homeless Shelters Goal Description There is a significant need for service-enriched shelters and transitional housing for both homeless individuals and families as the City has experienced a significant increase in chronically homeless and transients, especially in the Downtown. The City will address this need by providing public service funds to Samaritan House and CORA. Samaritan House operates the Safe Harbor Shelter located in South San Francisco, which provides 90 beds to homeless individuals. CORA provides emergency shelter for those seeking refuge from domestic violence or abuse. The City will also continue to work with the Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) to move the most difficult, long term homeless/transient individuals out of the Downtown area by placing them in emergency shelters and connecting them with County medical and rehabilitation services. This includes the City’s participation in the HOT’s Case Manager Group and Oversight Committee.

Downtown Façade & Tenant Improvement Program ($200,000) CDBG funds will be used to augment the City’s Downtown Façade & Tenant Improvement Program (DFTIP), which is supported by the General Fund. The DFTIP provides loans and grants to Downtown businesses for Façade upgrades and tenant improvements. Public Right of Way (ROW) Improvement Projects ($159,500) Provide public right of way improvement projects in the Downtown such as banners, trash receptacles, bike racks, etc. The Projects will be focused along Linden Avenue, the other main commercial corridor in the Downtown.

The majority of the City's CDBG funds are allocated to supporting housing rehabilitation, public right of way improvements, and the rehabilitation of Downtown businesses because these types of activities are not restricted by spending limitations and are highly impactful. A major funding obstacle continues to be sufficiently supporting the wide variety of crucial public services needed in the City due to federal spending limits specific to public services. While the public service need far exceeds the funds available to provide those services, the City has selected those activities which would be most effective.

This local target area also meets the CDBG Low to Moderate Area Benefit (LMA) requirements. Additionally, the Downtown is the historic area of the City and continues to be a main commercial hub. Therefore, improvements made to this area, create a citywide benefit. Planned Activities The City will provide Downtown businesses with grants for façade improvements and loans for interior tenant improvements. This program strives to improve the look and feel of the Downtown. Note CDBG funds will only be used for exterior façade improvements.

Additionally, this local target area meets the CDBG Low to Moderate Area Benefit (LMA) requirements. The City will direct assistance to this area through public right of way improvements and business rehabilitation projects in an effort to improve the look and feel of the Downtown. In addition, a number of public service organizations, are located in the downtown area such as Sitike Counseling Center, the Latino Commission, and St. Vincent de Paul. The City has also funded improvements to public facilities located in the local target area when budget allows. In recent years, the City funded improvement projects for downtown facilities such as Magnolia Senior Center and the City Hall Tot Lot. Although the City appropriates some funding to this area, the City also makes funds available to low income or special needs residents citywide. The City's Housing Rehabilitation Program, for example, is available to eligible households citywide. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds SSF Downtown Tracts 6021, 6022 53% Table 8 - Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City designates the Downtown as a target area for funding services because a majority of those who reside and/or receive services in this area are low income. Additionally, the Downtown is the historic area of the City and continues to be a main commercial hub. Therefore, improvements made to this area, through activities like public right of way beautification projects, create a citywide benefit. DR A F T Exhibit C 33 Annual Action Plan 2015 31 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) AP - 75 Action Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.420, 91.220(j) Introduction A lack of resources and the current market conditions have presented barriers to affordable housing. Currently, there is a lack of sufficient federal, state, and county funds to create new affordable housing. Federal tax credits are very limited and extremely competitive. Furthermore, the County resources, which consist only of HOME funds, have been drastically reduced and remain extremely competitive. Additionally, the dissolution of RDAs signifies a tremendous loss of resources available for affordable housing. In prior years, RDA funds were used to develop numerous affordable housing units while also bolstering the City's CDBG program. Due to the dissolution of the RDA, it is now necessary to piece together several years of funding allocations and grants, thus requiring at least 5 to 7 sources of funds to be able to construct new housing on the Peninsula. These sources have consequently reduced as well. As such, cities will not be able to meet their state mandated housing production requirements, especially for affordable housing units. In addition to limited resources, the current market conditions have created an unsustainable housing cost environment due to inflated rents and expensive home/land prices. According to the 2013 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates, 16% of renters in South San Francisco are paying between 35% and 49.9% of their income towards rent and 21% of all renters are paying more than 50% of their income towards rent. Additionally 30% of homeowners in South San Francisco are spending 35% or more of their household income on housing costs (2009- 2013 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates). This data signifies that approximately one third (1/3) of South San Francisco households are living in unaffordable housing which in turn is putting them at risk of becoming homeless. While the City actively makes efforts to provide affordable housing to residents, the lack of resources and market conditions pose as formidable barriers. Therefore, the City is continually seeking new and innovative ideas to overcome these barriers. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment: The City will continue to monitor and identify areas of improvement in its public policies in order to foster and maintain the supply of affordable housing and to remove barriers to affordable housing development. The City will also continue to maintain and encourage affordable housing development by: DR A F T Exhibit C 34 Annual Action Plan 2015 32 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) • Implementing zoning to ensure there is an adequate supply of land to meet its Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) regional housing needs allocation. • Continuing to implement the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance; this requires that a percentage of new “for sale” residential units are made available as Below Market Rate (BMR) units for low income residents. The City will also continue to support its existing BMR units. • Investigating new sources of funding for the City's affordable housing programs and working with non-profit developers to promote the development of affordable housing for lower income households. • Considering fee waivers or deferrals of planning, building, and impact fees for affordable housing developments. • Removing government and public infrastructure constraints to affordable housing development through administrative support, inter-governmental cooperation, public- private partnerships, and permit streamlining. • Continuing to cooperate with other governmental agencies and take an active interest in seeking solutions to area-wide housing problems. DR A F T Exhibit C 35 Annual Action Plan 2015 33 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) AP - 85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k) Introduction The following sections describe the actions and efforts the City will make to address things such as meeting underserved needs, affordable housing, and lead-based paint hazards. Many of these actions are based upon the importance of coordinating with other jurisdictions, local service providers, and the private sector. In a time with limited funding available, the City's focus will be on creativity and collaboration in order to meet more needs of the community. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The main obstacle the City faces in meeting underserved needs is a lack of funding. With the loss of RDA funds and declining CDBG entitlements, the City has limited capabilities in meeting the needs of the community. Additionally, many local service providers are also experiencing declines in both private and public funding, which further hinder their capability to meet needs. The City plans to address this obstacle by continuing to look for new funding sources and find creative ways to leverage and utilize existing funding. Additionally, the City will encourage collaboration amongst itself, other jurisdictions, and non-profits. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Listed below are actions the City plans to take to foster and maintain affordable housing. • Promote the construction of lower cost units by providing incentives to developers and encouraging mixed-use projects, second units, density bonuses, loft-style units, and manufactured housing. • Strive to preserve and maintain existing affordable housing by using state and federal funds to the fullest extent to rehabilitate existing housing units. Additionally, the City will continue to support affordable housing for groups with special needs, including seniors, the disabled, and the homeless. • Continue to implement its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance that requires a percentage of new "for sale" residential units be made available as Below Market Rate (BMR) units for low income residents. The City will also continue to support its existing BMR units. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The City will continue to incorporate lead testing and lead safe work practices into all rehabilitation projects it funds. Additionally, the City makes lead-based paint information available on its website, to all the local non-profit agencies, to homeowners and renters. The City also provides loans and grants to homeowners and public facilities to abate lead-based paint hazards. City webpage for lead-based paint information: http://www.ssf.net/1338/Homeowner-Information DR A F T Exhibit C 36 Annual Action Plan 2015 34 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City of South San Francisco has a multi-faceted approach to reducing poverty in the community: First, the City has acquired housing units over the years and converted them into affordable rental units. The City manages the units and rents them at affordable rates to assist low income families whose incomes do not support market rate housing costs. These efforts help reduce the number of families living in poverty by providing them with affordable housing costs. Additionally, the City has provided some of these units to the County’s Emancipated Foster Youth Program to provide affordable housing for youth who have transitioned out of the foster care system. Additionally, the City’s housing rehabilitation program offers low and moderate income homeowners the opportunity to bring their homes to current building and safety standards by providing low interest loans and grants. This improves living conditions in a manner that doesn’t create an economic burden on the family. It is also important to note that non-profit organizations in South San Francisco play an important role in providing affordable housing, food, child care, clothing, and other emergency services to low income residents. The City partially funds and monitors these organizations through the CDBG Program. Through this multitude of efforts, in collaboration with non-profit agencies, the City is continually working to help reduce the number of families living in poverty. With that said, there are significant challenges to accomplishing this long-term goal. The biggest barrier to the provision of services to lower income families and those at risk of becoming homeless is the lack of adequate state, county, and federal funds for social service activities. For example, since CDBG funding for public services is limited to 15% of the City’s entitlement amount, the City only has approximately $69,000 available for public services. The City continues to strive for efforts that creatively and efficiently work with these constraints. Actions planned to develop institutional structure City will make the following efforts to improve institutional structure: • Continue to assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless by supporting non-profits that offer solutions and services to the homeless and continue working the Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) • Continue to work with the other local jurisdiction as part of the CDBG Work Group in order to increase collaboration and make administrative and monitoring processes more standardized, compliant, and efficient • Continue to build and improve relationships with local service providers • Continue to coordinate and participate in the Continuum of Care DR A F T Exhibit C 37 Annual Action Plan 2015 35 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City plans to take the following actions to enhance coordination in the implementation of the City's Action Plan: • Continue to collaborate with the County of San Mateo, private housing developers, lenders, and non-profit housing developers in order to create more affordable housing • Continue to participate in the CDBG Work Group and to improve CDBG administrative processes for both sub-recipients and City staff • Continue to fund non-profit agencies serving low-income residents • Encourage collaboration and cooperation among local service providers • Continue to participate in the CoC Steering Committee • Continue to participate in the San Mateo County HOME Consortium and to serve on the San Mateo County's Housing & Community Development Committee (HCDC) • Support workforce development partnerships that serve residents and employees in South San Francisco • Continue working with regional economic development groups and promote economic development collaborations • Work with businesses and the Chamber of Commerce on downtown beautification and other projects to improve the downtown • Continue to work with the Continue to work with the Homeless Outreach Team; this includes the City’s participation on the HOT’s Case Manager Group and Oversight Committee DR A F T Exhibit C 38 Annual Action Plan 2015 36 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Program Specific Requirements AP - 90 Program Specific Requirements - 91.420, 91.220(l)(1,2,4) Introduction Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(1) Projects planned with all CDBG funds expected to be available during the year are identified in the Projects Table.

I understand the critical need for visionary leadership on this Board to not only maintain but improve our environment, economic vitality, quality of life, and healthy communities by funding important infrastructure projects making our communities safer for residents and our railways and roadways more efficient. The responsibility of the TA Board is to evaluate and approve funding throughout the County for transportation-related projects to enhance the safety and mobility of our residents, such as grade separations, pedestrian/bike paths, highway over crossings, shuttles, and Caltrain upgrades. Measure A provides the funds for these very important projects. My focus since being elected to Council in 2008 (Vice Mayor 2012, Mayor 2013, Vice Mayor 2015) has been on traffic congestion, bike and pedestrian safety and healthy communities. On March 16 of this year council representatives from my neighboring cities, Menlo Park and Redwood City, joined me at a community meeting to talk about traffic along our El Camino Real corridor and hear the presentation from internationally acclaimed traffic consultant Jeff Tumlin. This "regional" approach was very well received by our residents and we came away with hope that we can find common solutions. My track record proves thatI have a regional perspective. I am thoughtful and objective in deliberations,andcollaborative and willing to do the work that needs to be done. x Vice Chair (2014) San Mateo Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance -Commute.org (6 years) x Vice Chair (current) San Francisco Airport Noise Abatement Roundtable (6 years) x Grand Boulevard Initiative member (7 years) Town of Atherton Office of the City Clerk 91 Ashfield Road Atherton, California 94027 650-752-0529 Fax 650-688-6528 x ABAG representative (7 years) x C/CAG Board (2 years) x Congestion Management and Environmental Quality Committee (4 years) x HEART Member Agency Committee (7 years) x HEART Board (2009-2011) x San Mateo County Library JPA (2013 primary, 2014-current alternate) x Bike / PedestrianAdvisory Committee for Master Plan Atherton (2 years) x Atherton Transportation Committee(2 years) x Secretary/Treasurer Council of Cities 2013 x Vice Chair Council of Cities 2014 x Chair Council of Cities 2015 I am respectfully asking for your vote to represent the County's interests as a member of the Transportation Authority Board.
