SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. 13
Agenda Date: November 1, 2005
SUBJECT:
Consider adopting a resolution approving an amendment to the 2005-06 Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan, Resolution No. 05-/8':> .
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council approve the amended Annual Action Plan and authorize
staff to submit the amended Annual Action Plan to the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD).
DISCUSSION:
Background:
Federal regulations require that each entitlement jurisdiction prepare an Annual Action
Plan and submit the plan no later than May 15th of each year. The Annual Action Plan
is a one-year plan that describes the eligible programs, projects and activities to be
undertaken with funds expected during the program year (Fiscal Year 2005-2006) and
their relationship to the priority housing, homeless and community development needs
outlined in the approved Consolidated Plan. Furthermore, Federal regulations require
the plan be made available for 30 days for public review and comment. The FY 2005-06
Annual Action Plan was released for public review on April 1, 2005 for the 30-day
review period. On April 11, 2005, the CDBG Steering Committee met and discussed the
plan and a notice was placed in the local paper informing the public of the plans
availability. On May 3,2005, the City Council held the final public hearing approving
the Annual Action Plan for submittal to HUD. Any amendments to this Annual Action
Plan must be approved by the City Council and resubmitted to HUD.
In 2003, the City of Cupertino separated from the County of Santa Clara Urban County
and became an entitlement jurisdiction receiving the CDBG entitlement directly from
HUD. As a condition of the separation, the County of Santa Clara was required to
transfer $149,472.54 from the County CDBG program to the City of Cupertino through
HUD. HUD recently notified the City of Cupertino that the money was available for
programming, however, the money, with the exception of $20,658.04 for administration,
and the projects it was allotted to, need to be addressed in the Annual Action Plan. The
attached amended Annual Plan includes a short description of each of the projects from
H:\ -CDBG\ CDBG Funding Cylce Materials\Annual Plan\Annual Plan Amendment.doc
/3-/
Page 2
the 2001-02 and 2002-03 fiscal years along with the amount allocated to each project.
These changes are depicted in redline.
Along with the amendments to reflect the transferred money, Staff is also
recommending an additional minor amendment to the Annual Action Plan to reflect
Economic and Social Opportunities (ESO) decision to not enter into an agreement with
the City for their 2005-06 grant award of $25,000. This money will remain unallocated
until a new housing construction project applies for and is awarded funds.

2005 PROGRAM YEAR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
FOR THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
The Annual Action Plan is a one-year plan which describes the eligible programs,
projects and activities to be undertaken with funds expected during the program year
(Fiscal Year 2005-2006) and their relationship to the priority housing, homeless and
corrummity development needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan.
FEDERAL RESOURCES
The City of Cupertino's Annual Action Plan for the 2005-06 Program Year is a
comprehensive approach to addressing the immediate community needs of people who
are very low and low income. The Action Plan is based on a Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement of $434,807 that the City anticipates will be received
from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Exhibit A
describes the agencies proposes to receive funding in the 2005-06 fiscal year. Also
detailed in the exhibit are the goals and proposed funding amount for each of the
agenCies.
Anticipated CDBG program income during the 2004-05 Program Year is estimated to
total $40,000 derived from outstanding rehabilitation program loans. A portion of that
program income will be allocated to support Public Service activities. The city of
Cupertino will allocate $71,200 to public service activities. Consistent with CDBG
regulations, this amount represents no more than 15% of the combined total of the
City's 2004-2005 Program Year income and the 2005-06 entitlement.
In 1999 HUD informed the Santa Clara County that the San Jose Metropolitan Statistical
Area is one of the high-income areas where the income limits were increased to the
actual 80% of median income, adjusted for household size. The City of Cupertino will
continue to use the actual 80% of median income limits for all of its CDBG programs in
the 2005 Program Year. Individual activities may use a lower income eligibility
criterion.
OTHER RESOURCES
Housing Mitigation Program
The Office and Industrial Mitigation Program acknowledges housing needs created by
the development of office and industrial projects. A fee is applied to new square footage
of office and industrial development in the City. The fees collected are deposited in the
/3-5
City's Affordable Housing Fund and are to be used for the provision of affordable
housing.
The City's Residential Mitigation Program applies to all new residential development of
one unit or greater. Residential developers are required to designate at least 15% of the
units in a development as affordable. These units are identified as the "BMR" (Below
Market Rate) units. For developments of six or fewer units, the developer may pay a fee
in-lieu of building the affordable units. All affordable units developed under the BMR
program must remain affordable for 99 years from the date of first occupancy and, if for
sale units are resold during that period, a new 99 year time period is established.
The City administers the Affordable Housing Fund, which is currently supported with
fees paid through the Housing Mitigation Program~ Potential options for use of the
housing funds include:
a. Development of new affordable units.
b. Conversion of existing market rate units to affordable units.
c. Down payment assistance programs.
d. Second mortgage programs.
Cupertino Community Services - Cupertino Community Services (CCS) is a non-profit
organization that assists in administering housing programs on behalf of the City of
Cupertino. CCS administers the Rotating Shelter Program for homeless individuals and
also manages a transitional housing facility. Further, CCS acts as the administrative
agent on behalf of the City in managing and monitoring the BMR program.
"Move In For Less" Program - In cooperation with the Tri-County Apartment
Association, this program recognizes the high cost of securing rental housing. The
program is geared to classroom teachers in public or private schools who meet income
criteria. Apartment owners/managers who agree to participate in the program require
no more than 20% of the monthly rent as a security deposit from qualified teachers. This
reduced security deposit hopefully makes it more financially feasible for a teacher to
move into rental housing.
Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program -The MCC program provides assistance to
first-time homebuyers by allowing an eligible purchaser to take 20% of his or her
annual mortgage interest payment as a tax credit against federal income taxes. Santa
Clara County administers the MCC Program on behalf of the jurisdictions in the
County, including Cupertino. The program does establish maximum sales price limits
on units assisted in this program and, due to the high housing costs in Cupertino, there
have been few households assisted in Cupertino in recent years.
13-fp
Second Unit Pro~ram -- The City's Second Unit Ordinance allows an additional unit to
be built on any single-family residential parcel. The objective of this Ordinance is to
encourage additional units on already developed parcels, such as parcels with single-
family dwellings.
Teacher Housing Assistance Program - The City of Cupertino has made up to $200,000
available to assist qualified teachers in the Fremont High School, Cupertino Union and
Foothill-De Anza Community College Districts for the purchase of a home within the
City of Cupertino corporate limits. Neighborhood Housing Services Silicon Valley
(NHSSV), administers the program for the City of Cupertino for a $20,000 fee.
Below are some program highlights:
· Maximum loan amount of $66,666 per household
· Loans are 0% interest and deferred until the change of title, refinance for cash out,
or the end of the 30-year loan term, whichever comes first.
· Loan is subject to a 45-year affordability restriction that is recorded against the
property.
· Resale restrictions will apply to the new home.
· Home to be purchased must be located within the City of Cupertino corporate
limits.
Density Bonus Ordinance - The City's Density Bonus Ordinance allows a 25% increase
in density for developments greater than 5 units that provide a proportion of units for
very low or low-income households or housing for senior citizens. In addition to the
density bonus, certain concessions can also be provided to the development, which can
include:
a. Reduction of Parking Requirements,
b. Reduction of Open Space Requirements,
c. Reduction of Setback Requirements,
d. Approval of Mixed Use Zoning,
e. Reduction of Park Dedication Fees,
f. Reduction of application or construction permit fees, or
g. Provision of tax-exempt or other financial assistance.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The Housing Services Division of the Community Development Department is the lead
agency for overseeing the development of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action
Plan.
1'3~7
This Annual Action Plan development process began with an advertised public hearing,
held by the Cupertino Housing Commission on March 16, 2005 to make funding
recommendation to the city council. In addition, to the public notice, written
notification of the hearing was made to numerous non-profit service agencies and the
city's CDBG Steering Committee for the purpose of gaining greater input for
determining the best use of anticipated federal funds for addressing community needs.
The Annual Action Plan was distributed to the thirty (30) agencies on the City of
Cupertino's mailing list (see Exhibit B). Agencies were encouraged to comment on the
document.
The City Council held an advertised public hearing on April 5, 2005, to determine the
allocation of CDBG funds for the 2005 Program Year. The Annual Plan 30 day public
review period occurred April 1 through May 3, 2005. The City did not receive any
public comments.
CONSULTATION WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS
As standard practice, CDBG entitlement jurisdictions from throughout Santa Clara
County meet at least quarterly to discuss issues of common interest. Meeting agendas
cover such topics as projects receiving multi-jurisdictional funding, performance levels
and costs for contracted public services, proposed annual funding plans, HUD program
administration requirements, and other topics of mutual concern. These quarterly
meetings provided the opportunity for the City to consult with other jurisdictions on its
proposed use of federal funds for the 2005 Program Year.
CONSOLIDATED PLAN (CON PLAN) PRIORITIES
The City of Cupertino participated in a pilot program to streamline the Consolidated
Plan process by allowing communities to substitute existing local plans for
Consolidated Plan components. As part of the streamlined Con Plan, the City of
Cupertino adopted the priorities listed in Table 2A and 2B. These tables are attached
and incorporated by reference as Exhibit B of this document.
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
A map outlining geographic areas considered to be of low and moderate-income
concentration is included as part to this submittal. In the map, three Census tracts
indicate a higher percentage of low/mod population than all other Cupertino Census
tracts. It is from these three Census tracts that the City of Cupertino recruits three
representatives of the CDBG Steering Committee. Funding support for the listed
projects is based more on expressed need within the community rather than upon
geographical priority.
/3-g
ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGY
In a continuing effort to reduce poverty, the city of Cupertino will make it a priority to
fund agencies that provide direct assistance to the homeless and those in danger of
becoming homeless and make a commihnent to improve the communication and
service delivery capábilities of agencies and organizations that provide programs to
assist the homeless.
Depending on funding availability, Cupertino will continue to provide assistance to
public agencies and nonprofit organizations providing neighborhood housing services,
supportive services to the homeless, older adults with physical or mental impairment,
the mentally ill, victims of domestic violence, and households with abused children
among others.
Coordinate with public agencies providing job training, life skills training, lead
poisoning prevention and remediation and other education programs that listed in the
City's Consolidated Plan strategies.
HOMELESS AND SPECIAL NEEDS
In previous years, the City of Cupertino appropriated $20,000 in CDBG funds for the
Sobrato Family Living Center Project.
In 2000, the City will also contributed to the Home Safe-Santa Clara providing
transitional housing for survivors of domestic violence who are considered at-risk for
homelessness.
In addition to these capital project subsidies, the City will fund public service activities
related to homelessness. During the 2005 program year, the city will provide $25,000 to
the Faith in Action Rotating Shelter Program and $4,000 to Emergency Housing
Consortium for emergency shelter to Cupertino families. The City of Cupertino will
also continue to coordinate services to the homeless through such inter-agency efforts as
the Collaborative, Help House the Homeless, and the Community Technology Alliance
and support the regional Continuum of Care.
In addressing senior services, the City will continue advocacy for the increased
dissemination of accurate information and counseling for seniors and other persons
regarding housing options available. This will be accomplished through a cooperative
effort with the Cupertino Senior Center, Cupertino Community Services and the
Cupertino Public Library.
I ~-q
LEAD-BASED PAINT
Lead-based paint awareness and abatement will be fully integrated by the City of
Cupertino into its assisted housing programs. Each tenant, landlord and property
owner will be informed of the dangers, symptoms, testing, treatment and prevention of
lead-based paint poisoning. Lead-based paint hazard stabilization or abatement will be
provided in each and every rehabilitation project. Furthermore, adherence to Federal
guidelines for reduction activities with lead-based paint is provided for in every
federally funded rehabilitation loan.
PUBLIC HOUSING
The City will continue to encourage the local Public Housing Authority to develop
affordable units in the city of Cupertino.
FAIR HOUSING
Cupertino continues to support both the purpose and goal of fair housing and works to
achieve fair housing in administering federal, State and local programs. The City also
supports the development of affordable housing stock that is an important part of a fair
housing initiative, given the high cost of local housing.
In conjunction with other jurisdictions in Santa Clara County, the City commissioned a
comprehensive survey to identify unmet needs and unidentified barriers, to assess the
delivery of fair housing services, and to recommend action steps to meet the County's
fair housing needs. The study was completed in 2003 and the city will be working with
the other Santa Clara County to review program changes as a result of the study. The
City prepared an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) in 2004.
The proposed actions to be undertaken by the City in the 2005 Program Year consist of
the following:
· The City will continue to require developers to provide relocation assistance
when residents will be displaced.
· The City will continue to provide a housing program that allows for modification
of existing housing facilitating the needs of persons with disabilities.
· The City will continue to support non-profit organizations whose purpose is to
aid in the furthering of fair housing in the community. Methods of support could
include notification of fair housing rights and responsibilities distributed in
brochures located in public buildings, public service announcements on the local
access channel or similar methods.
13-ID
· The City will continue to allow for the construction of higher occupancy housing
complexes on a case-by-case basis when possible, for all economic segments of
the community.
PROGRAM MONITORING
Performance monitoring for compliance to federal program requirements is scheduled
at least once- annually for projects that are under service contract. Monitoring of
federally funded activities is undertaken for projects that are either under an annual or
longer-term performance period. In addition, the City undertakes an annual Single
Audit according to the requirements of the federal Office of Management and Budget.
As standard practice, notification is made to HUD on the availability of the City's
annual audit.

households since 1973. Support services include a food
pantry, clothing closet and rental assistance.
Recommendation: $19,000 from CDBG, encourage City Council to fund
$23,000 from the Human Service Grants Program.
The agency provides necessary services to Cupertino residents. Since this
activity is a medium priority need in the Cupertino Consolidated Plan, staff
cannot recommend fully funding this activity.

Exhibit A
C. Cupertino Community Services
Rotating Shelter Program
2005-06 Request: $25,000
Annual Goal: Provide a maximum of 90 days shelter to 80 homeless
persons per year in churches located in Cupertino,

counseling and other support services to help stabilize
the guest's long term housing situation.
Project Description: A total of 11 churches and one synagogue in Cupertino,
Sunnyvale, Saratoga and Santa Clara participate in the
program, 11 of which are "host" churches. Each of the
"host" churches provides shelter for a 30-day period.
These "host" churches have the responsibility of
providing the guest with meals; YMCA passes for
showers, etc. CCS provides additional support to the
shelter guests, including job counseling and assistance in
finding transitional and permanent housing.
Recommendation: $24,750
Cupertino Community Services has been very successful in administering this
program and it remains one of the most successful rotating shelter programs in
the county. CCS has applied to the cities of San Jose and Sunnyvale and has been
successful at receiving County Emergency Shelter Grant funding. Staff
recommends the City continue its commitment to the Rotating Shelter Program.

Project Description: Cupertino Senior Day Services provides services for
seniors at risk of being institutionalized. Seniors can be
dropped off at the Cupertino facility to receive care and
participate in recreational activities while family
members are working.
Recommendation: $10,100
As the Cupertino population ages, more seniors are in need of this valuable
service. Cupertino does not have a large inventory of senior assisted living units,
programs such as Cupertino Senior Day Services provides families with an
alternative to moving parents and older family members into an assisted living
setting.
F. Outreach and Escort

and simple wills.
Recommendation: $11,500
Several years ago, the city council directed staff to work with SALA to increase
their services and funding level. The Cupertino Senior Center has stated that the
increased grant has helped tremendously during the past few years and would
like to encourage the city to continue funding the agency at the increased
funding level.
I. The Support Network for Battered Women
Domestic Violence Services for Cupertino Families
2005-06 Request: $7,000

emergency housing to battered women.
Recommendation:
$1,850 from CDBG and encourage City Council to fund
$4,000 from Human Service Grants program.
The Support Network for Battered Women provides a valuable resource to
Cupertino residents as well as law enforcement officers in the city. However,
the agency has not had a representative present at the CDBG Steering Committee
meeting for the past two years and the Committee views this as a lack of
commitment to the program.

Highway 85 for the development of affordable housing
units.
Project Description: Since April 2000 staff has been working with Caltrans to
purchase excess Caltrans property to develop affordable
housing. An agreement to purchase needs to be entered
into by April 11, 2005 to secure the property. Under the
CDBG program, the purchase is an eligible expense.
Recommendation: $251,646
The property purchase represents a high priority in the Consolidated Plan.
K. Vista Village Development (Vista Drive)
2002-03 Remaining: $124,253
Description:
Remainder of allocation from FY 2002-03. Subrecipient

ADMINISTRATIONfFAIR HOUSING:
L. Mid Peninsula Çitizens for Fair Housing
Fair Housing Services
2005-06 Request: $10,200
Annual Goal: Fair housing education to the housing industry,
investigating allegations of discrimination (6 cases a
year).
Project Description: Provide fair housing assistance to the city of Cupertino,
including conducting presentations, counseling housing
providers, and investigating allegations of
discrimination.
Recommendation: $10,200 ($1,750 per low and moderate income client)
The program will provide a valuable service to the City of Cupertino, however, it
appears that the agency serves fewer and fewer low and moderate income clients
each year. At the recommendation of the local HUD office, the agency will only
receive reimbursement for serving low and moderate-income Cupertino
residents. Staff is suggesting a reimbursement rate of $1,750 per low and
13-/1
Exhibit A
moderate-income client. Mid-Peninsula Citizens for Fair Housing has been
providing Cupertino's fair housing services for many years. Staff likes the
consistency of having Mid-Peninsula Citizen's for Fair Housing continue the
program. Staff would like to require that the agency be required to meet with
local apartment managers annually to review fair housing law and provide
informational meeting for tenants on fair housing.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUND:
M. Mfordable Housing Placement Program
Cupertino Community Services
2005-06 Request: $65,000
Annual Goal: Provide placement and necessary support services to 75
households (250 individuals). Continue current services
and expand the program to encompass the entire BMR
program.
Project Description: Cupertino Community Services has been responsible for
the screening and placement services for ten senior units
located at Chateau Cupertino as well as below market
rate rental units.. They maintain a waiting list for
qualified applicants and provide services to those placed
in the affordable units. The agency purchased a four-
plex on Greenwood Court that serves as transitional
housing for the Rotating Shelter Program.
Recommendation: $65,000 (Mfordable Housing Fund)
The agency has successfully performed the necessary task of screening and
placement for Chateau Cupertino, City Center Apartments and compiling
waiting lists for the below market rate program. Cupertino Community Services
also continues to expand services beyond the scope specified by the City.
The city of Cupertino oversaw the Below Market Rate program and monitored
the BMR rentals at Forge-Homestead and Aviare Apartments. However, limited
staff time made auditing the Aviare and Forge-Homestead programs impossible.
Last year's $10,000 funding increase enabled CCS to devote a full-time employee
to the program. This employee is responsible for auditing Aviare and Forge-
Homestead Apartments, as well as handling all BMR ownership resale requests.
The staff person would also assemble procedural manuals for both the
ownership and rental programs. These manuals will assist any new staff person
taking over the program as well as document procedures.
