for fiscal yeaz 2009-10, plus a reallocation of $43,400 in projected program income from
rehabilitation loan payoffs for a total of $429,980. The allocation represents no change from
last fiscal year's entitlement. On April 21, 2009, the City Council held the first of two public
hearings considering both the allocation of CDBG funds and the Annual Plan. The Annual
Plan has been in distribution since April 4, 2(109 and no comments have been received. It is
therefore recommended that the City Council ;adopt both the Annual Plan and the allocations
as recommended by the CDBG Steering Comrruttee_
Below are summaries of the CDBG Steerit>,g Committee actions and basic information
regarding the content and purpose of the Annual Actual Plan. For further reference, staff can
make the April 1, 2008 staff report with attachments available upon request.

On April 4, 2006, the City Council approved a Citizen Participation Plan as part of its 2006-
2009 Consolidated Plan. Prior to expending CDBG dollars, the City is required to have a
Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated Plan and an Annual Plan in place. As part of the
original Citizen Participation Plan, adopted i'n February 2003, the City formed a CDBG
Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is comprised of the Cupertino Housing
Commission and four appointed citizens. The CDBG Steering Committee's responsibility is
to evaluate the proposals received and forwazd 'funding recommendations to the City Council.
On April 10, 2009 the CDBG Steering Co**~m;ttee met and conducted a public hearing on the

priority housing, homeless and community development needs outlined in the approved
Consolidated Plan. Furthermore, Federal regulations require the plan be made available for

EXECUTIVE SUNIIV7ARY
The Action Plan is an annual plan, which the City of Cupertino, as lead agency, oversees
pursuant to the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan. The Action Plan details the activities
Cupertino will undertake to address the housing and community development needs and local
objectives using funds received during that program year from the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) plus anticipated Program Income. The Action Plan consists of HUD-
developed forms plus a supplemental narrative.
The largest portion of the CDBG resources continues to be used for housing and homeless
programs available on a citywide basis. Fair housing activities and ar7ministrative costs will not
exceed 20% of the annual allocation.
Evaluation of Past Performance
Over the course of fiscal year 2009/2010, the City of Cupertino anticipates providing financial
assistance to 8 affordable housing units through the use of CDBG funds. The funds will be used
to rehabilitate afoot-plea serving as transitional housing for domestic violence victims and a
single family home serving five seniors_ The portion of CDBG funds that will be allocated to
public service subrecipients will be used to provide approximately 800 persons with food,
clothing and housing counseling, 90 days of shelter to 80 homeless, adult day caze to 11
households, and brown bags (food) to 75 households.
Cupertino was successful in addressing a majority of the goals and objectives cited in the fiscal
yeaz 2008/09 Annual Action Plan. Only one agency, Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity
(ECHO), fell short of its goals. Furthermore, most of the CDBG funds were used to carry out
activities that benefit low and moderate-income persons. Only CDBG administration funds and
a portion of ECHO's fair housing funds did not directly serve low and moderate-income persons.
Some of the funded activities include fair housing, senior services, food and clothing and
emergency housing. These activities continue to make a positive impact on identified needs and
are providing services that might have gone »*~met. As can be expected, community needs
continue to exceed the available resources.
The Annual Action Plan is a one-year plan which describes the eligible programs, projects and
activities to be undertaken with funds expected di,rir,g the program yeaz (Fiscal Year 2009-2010)
and their relafionship to the priority housing, homeless and community development needs
outlined in the Consolidated Plan_
FEDERAT" RESOURCES
The City of Cupertino's Annual Action Plan for the 2009-10 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 $386,580 that the City anticipates will be received from the federal Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and $43,400 in program income. Exhibit A describes
the agencies proposed to receive funding in the 2009-10 fiscal year. Also detailed in the exhibit
aze the goals and proposed funding amount for each of the agencies.
is-s
Anticipated CDBG program income daring the 2009-10 Program Year is estimated to total
$43,400 derived from outstanding rehabilitation program loans_ A portion of that program
income will be allocated to support Public Service activities and administration. The city of
Cupertino will allocate $64,493 to public service activities. Consistent with CDBG regulations,
this amount represents no more than 15% of the combined total of the City's projected 2009-10
Program Year income and the 2009-10 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 2009 Program Year_
Individual activities may use a lower income eligibility criterion.
OTFIER RESOiTRCES
Housing Mitigation Prog~
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 City's Affordable
Housing Fund and aze 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 aze require:d to designate at least 15% of the units in a
development as affordable. These units are identified as the "BMR" (Below Market Rate) tinits_
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 daring 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 mazket rate units to affordable units.
c. Down payment assistance programs.
d. Second mortgage programs.
West Valley Community Services -West Valley Community Services (WVCS) is a non-profit
organization that assists in ariministering housing programs on behalf of the City of Cupertino.
WVCS administers the Rotating Shelter Progr~un for homeless individuals and also manages a
transitional housing facility_ Further, WVCS acts as the administrative agent on behalf of the
City in managing and monitoring the BMR pro€~-am_
Housing Trust of Santa Clara County (H'TSC'~ -The HTSCC is a public/private venture,
dedicated to increasing affordable housing in the Silicon Valley. The Trust makes available
funds for developers to borrow for the construction of the affordable units_ Cupertino originally
is-~
contributed $250,000 to the fund and accessed the fund to assist in the development of Vista
Village, a 24-unit affordable apartment complex constructed by BRIDGE Housing and Cupertino
Community Services. Subsequently, the City has contributed $25,000 in 2008 and plans on
contributing an additional $25,000 in 2009.
"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 geazed 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.
Second Unit Program -- The City's Second Unit Ordinance aIIows an additional unit to be built
on any single-family residential pazcel_ The objective of this Ordinance is to encourage
additional units on already developed parcels, such as pazcels with single-family dwellings.
Santa Clara County Affordable Housing Fund (AHF)
In July 2002, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors created an Office of Affordable
Housing and established a housing trust fund in the amount of $18.6 million to be used for
affordable housing developments. The primary goal of the fund is to leverage funding with other
sources and create affordable housing in Santa Clara County_
Section 8
The Housing Authority of the County of Santa Clara (HACSC) provides rental subsidies and
develops affordable housing for low-income families, seniors and persons with disabilities living
in Santa Claza County, California, the heart of Silicon Valley. This past year, the Housing
Authority provided voucher assistance to 74 Cupertino households.
Density Bonus Ordinance -- The City's Density Bonus Ord~na„ce 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
is-a
g. Provision oftax-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.
Phis Annual Action Plan development process began with an advertised public hearing, held by
the Cupertino Housing Commission on April 9, 2009 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 City Council held two advertised public hearing on April 21, 2009 and May 5, 2009, to
determ;T,e the allocation of CDBG funds for the 2009 Program Year. The Annual Plan 30 day
public review period occurred April 4, 2009 through May 5, 2009. The City did not receive any
public comments.
CONSi1LTATION WITH OTHER JUI2ISDl[CTIONS
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 fundin€;, performance levels and costs for contracted
public services, proposed annual funding plans, HUD program ~ ministration 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 2009 Program Yeaz.
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 in 2006. These tables are attached and incorporated by reference as Exhibit B of this
document.
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRiBil'I'ION
A map outlining geographic azeas considered to be of low and moderate-income concentration is
included as part to this submittal. In the map, t]zree Census tracts indicate a higher percentage of
low/mod population than all other Cupertino Census tracts. It is $om 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.
is-s
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 comTnitment to improve the communication and service delivery
capabilities 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 poisoniizg
prevention and remediation and other education programs that listed in the City's Consolidated
Plan strategies.
IIOMELESS AND SPECTAT, NEED5
In previous years, the City of Cupertino appropriated $20,000 in CDBG funds for the Sobrato
Family Living Center Project and contributed to the Home Safe-Santa Clara providing
transitional housing for survivors of domestic violence who are considered at-risk for
homelessness. Most recently, in a 2008 mid-yeaz reallocation, the City contributed $800,000 to
Maitri, a non-profit agency providing transitional housing to victims of domestic violence, for
the purchase of a four-plex in Cupertino.
In addition to these capital project subsidies, the City will fund public service activities related to
homelessness. Daring the 2009 program yeaz, the city will provide $19,014 to the Faith in
Action Rotating Shelter Program and $3,987 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 Caze.
Cupertino also participated in the countywide homeless count that took place in early 2007
which reported 11 unsheltered homeless. This is an update of the survey that took place in 2005,
which recorded 71 unsheltered homeless in Cupertino.
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 cooperafive effort with the Cupertino Senior
Center, Cupertino Community Services and the Cupertino Public Library.
LEAD-BASED PAINT
Lead-based paint awazeness 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 poisoni_ug. Lead-based
paint hazard stabilization or abatement will be provided in each and every rehabilitation project.
~s-io
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.
LEVERAGING OF FUND5
To the greatest extent possible, when feasible, the City of Cupertino will leverage public and
private resources to achieve the goals of the Consolidated Plan. Cupertino will continue to
request that affordable housing developers to seek private financing and grants and to fully
utilize other state and federal funding sources, such as the State of California Multifamily
Housing and the Low Income Housing Tax Credit programs.
FAH2 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 vriLl 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 (AIj in 2004.
The proposed actions to be undertaken by the City in the 2009 Program Yeaz 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 organisations 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.
• 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.
is-~~
PROGRAM MONITORING
Performance monitoring for compliance to federal program requirements is scheduled at least
once annually for projects that aze under service contract. Monitoring of federally funded
activities is undertaken for projects that aze 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 IIUD
on the availability of the City's annual audit.
URGENT OR COMMUNITY NEED
In the event of a local, state or federal disaster declaration for azeas within the boundaries of the
City of Cupertino, the City will reserve the right to use CDBG funds to abate immediate and
necessary hazards. The funds may be used for staff efforts, grants or loans to affected parties, as
approved by the City Council and allowed under the federal regulations.
