Department Name: Community Development
Cost Center: 4008
For Agenda of: January 15, 2019
Placement: Consent
Estimated Time: N/A
FROM: Michael Codron, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Cara Vereschagin, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: 2019 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDING
RESERVATION LETTER TO THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO AND THE SAN LUIS OBISPO NONPROFIT HOUSING
CORPORATION
RECOMMENDATION
As recommended by the Human Relations Commission (HRC), authorize the Community
Development Director to execute the attached Reservation Letter (Attachment A) authorizing the
City to reserve the total allocation of 2019 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
for Housing/Public Facilities/Economic Development projects, estimated in the amount of
$294,899, to the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO) and the San Luis Nonprofit
Housing Corporation (SLONP) for property acquisition of an existing home for housing special
needs households that are either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
DISCUSSION
Community Development Block Grant Background
The City’s annual CDBG review process provides Council and the public with an opportunity to
provide early input in the grant award procedure and informs the City Council on current,
community needs. One of the main objectives is to maintain an open, inclusive, and fair grant
application process.
Previous Advisory Body/City Council Action and Upcoming CDBG Process
The Human Relations Commission (HRC) advises the Council on community health and human
service needs and various grant programs. On December 5, 2018, the HRC held a public hearing
to review the 2019 CDBG draft funding recommendations with respect to the previously adopted
funding priorities by City Council on November 13, 2018. With a preliminary allocation of
$453,691, the HRC recommends funding two projects in addition to the necessary administrative
costs (Attachment B). This year, all HRC recommendations are within 84% or greater of the
amount of CDBG funds requested by each project. Those recommendations were forwarded to
the County to be included in the 2019 Draft Urban County Action Plan, where a 30-day public
review process is required. After the public review process has closed, those recommendations
will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration via a public hearing, scheduled for
February 19, 2019.

Item 4
HASLO/SLONP’s 2019 CDBG Application
One of the projects recommended for funding by the HRC was submitted by the Housing
Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO) and their affiliate, the San Luis Obispo Nonprofit
Housing Corporation (SLONP), for property acquisition of an existing home within the City of
San Luis Obispo (the “Project”). The home will be permanently reserved for special needs
households that are either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, which will increase the
overall availability of permanent supportive housing units in the City by 10% (Attachment B).
Additionally, wrap-around services that support personal development and self-sufficiency of the
residents will be provided within the home (Attachment C). As the Project meets the first and
second funding priorities set previously by City Council, the HRC recommends funding the full
allocation of funds reserved for Housing/Public Facilities/Economic Development projects,
estimated to be $294,899, to this Project.
Special Needs Housing Property Acquisition Costs
The Project is in early stages of gathering and finalizing funding sources. HASLO/SLONP
anticipates financing the $700,000 project via the City’s CDBG allocation, along with assistance
from the County Housing Trust Fund and potentially other sources. The City’s CDBG allocation
will help secure remaining funding sources. Once the financing for the property acquisition has
been finalized, remaining costs will be minimal, as the Project will not require ongoing
City/County monies for operations or maintenance.
Policy Context
The recommendation, ultimately allowing for the Community Development Director to sign a
letter to reserve CDBG funds for this particular affordable housing project, is supported by
several goals, policies, and programs in the City’s Housing Element and the Housing Major City
Goal. For example, Policy 8.12 of the Housing Element states to “Assist the homeless and those
at risk of becoming homeless by supporting shelters, temporary housing, transitional housing,
and by facilitating general housing assistance.” The proposed Project is also supported by
Program 8.23 of the Housing Element, to “Encourage the creation of housing for persons with
developmental disabilities. The City will seek grant opportunities for housing construction and
rehabilitation specifically targeted for persons with developmental disabilities.”
Public Engagement
Public engagement for this particular item is not required per the Community Development
Block Grant guidelines. However, City Council’s consideration of the funding recommendations
will require a public hearing which is scheduled for February 19, 2019.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this
report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15278.

It is anticipated that this item will not have a fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund, since it is
simply a recommendation to reserve an estimated future allocation of grant funding to the
project. If the City Council and the County Board of Supervisors decide to fund the Project, the
CDBG monies will go directly to HASLO/SLONP.
Decisions made regarding CDBG funding determine how the limited pool of funds the City
receives annually through the Urban County allocation process is spent. To the extent that
projects are funded through CDBG, the burden on the City’s General Fund or Affordable
Housing Fund to pay for those projects is reduced. As a result, projects that receive CDBG
funding have a positive fiscal impact on the City if they otherwise would have been paid from
alternative City funds.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The Council may deny the Reservation Letter and wait until February 19th to approve any
CDBG funds for HASLO/SLONP’s Special Needs Housing Project. Staff does not
recommend this alternative because it will be difficult for HASLO/SLONP to secure crucial,
alternative financing sources without a reserved commitment of CDBG funds.
2. The Council may continue consideration of authorizing the Reservation Letter. Staff does
not recommend this action because the delay in time would also affect HASLO/SLONP’s
ability to secure other needed financing sources.

Re: Support for CDBG application
Dear Mr. Smith:
The San Luis Obispo County Housing Trust Fund strongly supports HASLO’s request for CDBG funds to
purchase homes in the City of San Luis Obispo for special needs households and individuals.
Increasing the supply of affordable rental housing for lower income households is rightfully the City’s top
housing priority. Your proposal addresses this priority and it does far more.
Safe, supportive and affordable housing for our neighbors with special needs is even more critical than
affordable apartments. It is a matter of life and death for many. It is also more difficult and expensive
than simply building new apartment units. It can be just as difficult and time consuming to get the needed
approvals and financing for just one or two units of special needs housing as it is for 30 or 40 apartments.
In addition to the housing structure, you need to secure, coordinate and fund various services for the
clients who live in these homes.
HASLO has a long track record of partnering with local governments, funders and service providers to
make special needs housing successful. The Housing Trust Fund is proud to have worked with you on a
number of these projects. Incidentally, our most recent loan was for Hope House in Los Osos. We
partnered with you and Restorative Partners to provide a housing environment in which women released
from incarceration can re-enter society and reunite with their children. Kudos for your great work.
The Housing Trust Fund has always prioritized financing housing for those with special needs. We look
forward to partnering with you again to create more safe, supportive and affordable housing for those
with special needs using your new CDBG grant.
Best of luck.
Sincerely,
Gerald L. Rioux
Executive Director

QUALIFYING CRITERIA (10 points)
The Community Development Block Grant program was established by Congress in 1974 with
passage of the Housing and Community Development Act and is administered by the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This program provides funds to
municipalities and other units of government around the country to develop viable urban
communities. This is accomplished by providing affordable, decent housing, a suitable living
environment and by expanding economic opportunities principally for low and moderate income
persons. Although local units of government develop their own programs and funding priorities,
all activities must be consistent with one or more of the following HUD national objectives:
• Principally benefits low- and moderate-income persons
• Prevents or eliminates slum or blight
• Addresses an urgent need or problem in the community (e.g., natural disaster)
As an entitlement Urban County under the CDBG program, the County of San Luis Obispo receives
annual funding allocations from the federal government to fund activities to address these
national objectives.
As a funding recipient, San Luis Obispo County is required to submit an Annual Action Plan that
describes how the Urban County will utilize federal funds to address the national objectives in a
manner that will produce the greatest measurable impact on the Urban County communities. The
lead agency responsible for submission of this Plan to HUD is the Planning and Building
Department of the County of San Luis Obispo.
(4-1) Please identify the appropriate CDBG objective that applies to the proposed
project/program by checking the box next to A, B, or C. In addition, please provide a
corresponding explanation of how the proposed activity meets the national objective.
A. Objective One – Low/Moderate Income (check one):
Note: To meet this national objective, the proposed activity must benefit a specific clientele or
residents in a particular area of the County or participating city, of which at least 51 percent are low-
and moderate-income persons.
Select one:
Area Benefit – The project serves only a limited geographic area which is proven by 2010 Census
data or survey to be a predominately (51% or more) low/moderate-income area. Applicants choosing
this category must be able to prove their project/activity primarily benefits low/moderate -income
households.
Clientele – The project benefits a specific group of people, at least 51% of whom are
low/moderate-income persons. Note: Income verification for clients must be provided for this
category; however, the following groups are presumed to be low/moderate-income: abused children;
