income from rehabilitation loan payoffs for a total of $433,019. On April 6, 2010, the
City Council held the first public hearing for both the allocation of CDBG funds and
the Annual Plan. The Annual Plan has been in distribution since March 19, 2010 and
no comments have been received. It is the.cefore recommended that the City Council
adopt both the Annual Plan and the allocations as recommended by the CDBG
Steering Committee.
Below are summaries of the CDBG Steering Committee actions and basic information
regarding the content and purpose of the Annual Actual Plan.
CDBG Steering Committee
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 in 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 forward
funding recommendations to the City Council.
On March 11 and 18, 2010, the CDBG Steering Committee met and conducted a
public hearing on the FY 2010 -11 CDBG and Human Service funding allocations.
The Committee heard presentations from applicants and voted to forward the staff
recommendation to the City Council. The CDBG public service and the general fund
human service grants are on the first year of a two year funding cycle. These
agencies will not need to reapply for funds next year. Instead, they will receive an
adjustment based upon the City and HUD's final budgets.
FY 2010 -11 Annual Action Plan
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 which describes the eligible programs, projects and
activities to be undertaken with funds expected during the program year (Fiscal Year
2010 -2011) 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 2010 -2011 Annual Action Plan (Attachment C) was released
for public review on March 19, 2010 for the 30 -day review period. A notice was
placed in the local paper informing the public of its availability. The April 20, 2010
meeting is the final public hearing to approve the Annual Action Plan, with funding
recommendations, for submittal to HUD.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
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 administrative costs will not
exceed 20% of the annual allocation.
Evaluation of Past Performance
Over the course of fiscal year 2010/2011 the City of Cupertino anticipates providing financial
assistance to 4 affordable housing units through the use of CDBG funds. The funds will be used
to assist in the construction of four units by Habitat for Humanity of local CHDO. 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 and adult day care to 11 households.
Cupertino was successful in addressing a majority of the goals and objectives cited in the fiscal
year 2010/11 Annual Action Plan. 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 unmet. As can be expected, community needs continue
to exceed the available resources.
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 2010 -2011)
and their relationship to the priority housing, homeless and community development needs
outlined in the Consolidated Plan.
FEDERAL RESOURCES
The City of Cupertino's Annual Action Plan for the 2010 -11 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 $418,295 that the City anticipates will be received from the federal Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and $10,300 in program income. Exhibit A describes
the agencies proposed to receive funding in the 2010 -11 fiscal year. Also detailed in the exhibit
are the goals and proposed funding amount for each of the agencies.
14 -6
Anticipated CDBG program income during the 2010 -11 Program Year is estimated to total
$10,300 derived from outstanding rehabilitation program loans. A portion of that program
income will be allocated to support Public Seivice activities and administration. The city of
Cupertino will allocate $64,285 to public service activities. Consistent with CDBG regulations,
this amount represents no more than 15% of the; combined total of the City's projected 2010 -11
Program Year income and the 2010 -11 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. ] be City of Cupertino will continue to use the
actual 80% of median income limits for all of its CDBG programs in the 2010 Program Year.
Individual activities may use a lower income eligibility criterion.
OTHER RESOURCES
Housing Mitigation Prog am
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 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.
West Valley Community Services — West Valley Community Services (WVCS) is a non -profit
organization that assists in administering housing programs on behalf of the City of Cupertino.
WVCS administers the Rotating Shelter Program 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 program.
Housing Trust of Santa Clara County (HTSC( — 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
contributed $250,000 to the fund and accessed the fund to assist in the development of Vista
14 -7
Village, a 24 -unit affordable apartment complex constructed by BRIDGE Housing and Cupertino
Community Services. Subsequently, the City contributed $25,000 in 2008 and 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 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 %o of their 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 Prog am -- 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.
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 Clara 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 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.
This Annual Action Plan development process began with an advertised public hearing, held by
the Cupertino Housing Commission on March 11, 2010 to make funding recommendations 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 6, 2010 and April 20, 2010, to
determine the allocation of CDBG funds for the 2010 Program Year. The Annual Plan 30 day
public review period occurred March 19, 2010 through April 19, 2010. 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 2010 Program Year.
CONSOLIDATED PLAN (CON PLAN) PRI
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.
The City is currently in the process of adopting a. new Consolidated Plan with updated tables and
information. The new Consolidated Plan will be submitted to HUD by May 30, 2010.
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.
14 -9
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 commitment 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 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 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 -year 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. During the 2010 program year, the city will provide $19,014 to the Rotating
Shelter Program to provide emergency shelter to Cupertino homeless men. 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.
Cupertino also participated in the countywide homeless count that took place in early 2009
which reported 18 unsheltered homeless. This is an update of the surveys that took place in
2005, and 2007.
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.
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.
14-10
Furthermore, adherence to Federal guidelines J, - or 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 FUNDS
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.
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 Sfmta Clara County, the City commissioned a
comprehensive survey to identify unmet needs acid 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 2010 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.
• 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.
14 -11
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.
URGENT OR COMMUNITY NEED
In the event of a local, state or federal disaster declaration for areas 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.
AMENDMENTS TO PLAN
Prior to the submission of any substantial amendment in the proposed use of funds, citizens will
be provided reasonable notice of, and the opportunity to comment on, any proposed Action Plan
amendments.

SUMMARY OF CDBG AND AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FUND APPLICATIONS
PUBLIC SERVICE GRANTS:
A. Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County
Long Term Care Ombudsman Program
2010 -11 Request: $5,000
Annual Goal: Provide advocacy for 250 unduplicated Cupertino
residents and investigate and resolve 20 complaints.
Project Description: Provide advocacy for Cupertino residents in long term
care facilities to ensure they have a voice in their own
care and treatment. The program will receive,
investigate and resolve any complaints associated with
the care of the long term care facility residents.
Recommendation: $3,187 from Human Service Grants program.
The program meets a high priority according to Table 2B of the Cupertino
Consolidated Plan. This program was previously funded at the same level
through the Human Services Grants program of the Cupertino General Fund.
B. Community Technology Alliance
Homeless Management Information System Santa Clara County
2010 -11 Request: $2,500
Annual Goal: Provide assistance to 50 Cupertino residents. Services
include client case management and data collection.
Project Description: Create a web -based system collecting information on

The program does not meet a high priority according to Table 2B of the
Cupertino Consolidated Plan since it is indirectly serving the homeless
population. However, the CDBG Steering Committee feels that this is a worthy
cause.
