Executive Summary

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 2016 -2017, 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
Draft Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp.07/31/2017) 2016 2
Relationship Abuse (CORA), Health Mobile, HIP Housing, John's Closet, Legal Aid Society,
Ombudsman Services of San Mateo County Inc., Peninsula Association for Retarded
Children and Adults (PARCA), Rape Trauma Services Center, Samaritan House, and
StarVista.
• 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 16 -17, the City will use CDBG funding to continue to implement the City's
Downtown Fagade Improvement Program which provides grants to Downtown
businesses to undertake facade improvements.
• Need: Public Improvements
Goal: Preserve and improve public facilities that serve a high percentage of low- income
or special needs residents
Activities: For FY 16 -17, the City will use CDBG funding for public improvement projects,
infrastructure, accessibility modifications, rehabilitate facilities with urgent needs, and
other public improvements within the Service Areas.
• 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 (2013 - 2018), the City
implemented 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 plans to construct additional affordable housing units within the Service
Areas. 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
Draft Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) 2016 3
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, improved living conditions for residents, and minimized displacement. 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: senior services, battered spouse
services, youth services, general social services, and disabled services.
Last year, FY 15 -16, 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, Human Investment Project (HIP) Housing, John's Closet, Legal Aid Society,
Peninsula Association for Retarded Children and Adults (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, El Concilio's Peninsula Minor Home Repair Program,
Rebuilding Together Peninsula's Safe at Home Program, and Rebuilding Together Peninsula's
National Rebuilding Day Program. The City also provided assistance to low income households
through its Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program. The City also worked toward improving the
downtown area by undertaking public right of way (ROW) improvements along Linden 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 2016 -17
Action Plan has been executed as follows:

February 24, 2016, March 14, 2016, March 28, 2016, and April 25, 2016.
Summary of public comments
The City received public comments from fifteen (15) different people representing fifteen (15)
different non - profit organizations during the March 09, 2016 Needs Assessment Hearing and
xxxxx (to be completed after the April 27 Public Hearing) public comments during the April 27, 2016 Public
Hearing. These comments are provided as Attachment C to the plan.
Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them
Fourteen of the fifteen public comments were accepted. One of the public comments was not
accepted because it was from a public agency that did not apply for a CDBG Public Grant.
However, this public agency's comments were heard, recorded, and were provided with other
potential resources to explore for their specific program.
Summary
The City's Annual Action Plan for FY16 -17 has been developed in accordance with HUD program's
three basic goals, the objectives and outcomes of the City's Five Year Consolidated Plan (2013-
2018), and through the Citizen Participation Process.

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

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.
Draft Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp.07/31/2017) 2016 8
• 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.
Proiect -Level Ob iectives
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).

OMB Control No: 25060117 (exp.07/31/2017) 2016 9
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 meetingthe 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.

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.

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 (RDA) statewide. In the past, CDBG funds were able to leverage
significant amounts of RDA funding for housing and commercial projects. A reduction 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. Overall, CDBG funding is insufficient 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.
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 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.

For FY 16 -17, the City issued a request for proposals for public facility improvement
projects for facilities owned by non - profit organizations. The application was made
from January 7 to January 22, 2016 however no applications were received. Although,
no applications were received, the City will create an open -ended application for public
facility improvement projects that will be available during FY 16 -17. The City will review
applications as they are submitted and allocate funds based on fund availability, need,
and feasibility of the project. This will allow the City to undertake urgent need
improvement projects or any unidentified accessibility project throughoutthe year. The
City may also use CDBG program income, undesignated funds or funds from activities
that have been cancelled, delayed or slow in drawing down funds to make accessibility
(ADA) modifications and /or other improvements to City -owned public facilities. These
efforts will ensure that any unexpected program income can be expended in a timely
manner.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
Given the limited funds available, the City prioritizes activities which provided maximum benefit
to the. community. 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.

area also meets the CDBG Low to Moderate Area Benefit (LMA)
requirements.
Planned Activities
These funds may be used for Public Right of Way improvement
expenditures in low /mod areas. This may include improved
street lighting or street sewer laterals. The City may consider a
sidewalk improvement program. Or the funds may support
investments in predevelopment activities for affordable

AP- 75 Action Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.4203 91.2206)
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
necessaryto 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:
• Implementing zoning to ensure there is an adequate supply of land to meet its
Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) regional housing needs allocation.
Draft Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 25060117 (exp.07/31/2017) 2016 36
• 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.
• Continuingto cooperate with other governmental agencies and take an active interest
in seeking solutions to area -wide housing problems.

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.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
Draft Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2017) 2016 38
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:
