Summary of Modifications for the FY 2020-2021 Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Administrative Plan

The Anaheim Housing Authority (AHA) is required to maintain an Administrative Plan (Plan) that details the policies and procedures governing how its Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program will be administered. Since its last revision in 2019, some sections of the Plan are being revised and other sections include new language.

This attachment reflects the modifications made to the Administrative Plan regarding the Section 8 HCV and Project-Based Voucher (HCV) Programs. Summaries of the chapter and the changes being made are listed below. The new language added to the Administrative Plan can be found under the bold, “New Language” headings and the language being amended can be found under the bold “Previous Language” heading.

In the FY 2020-24 Five Year PHA Plan, AHA defined a significant amendment or modification to the PHA Plan is as a change in program policy including changes to rent, admissions policies, and organization of the waiting list or terminations. Exceptions to this definition will be made for changes that are adopted to reflect changes in HUD regulatory requirements or if such changes are adopted in response to a significant reduction in funding.

Chapter 4 Modified Language: Opening the Waiting List

APPLICATIONS, WAITING LIST AND

TENANT SELECTION

4-II.C. Opening the Waiting List [24 CFR 982.206 and PIH Notice 2012-34] and 4-II.D. Closing the Waiting List [24 CFR 982.206 On August 13, 2012, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published PIH Notice 2012-34, which provided housing authorities with clarification on how to administer their waiting lists. In the notice, HUD clarified that housing authorities may a lottery system, or other random choice technique, to select which applicants will be placed on the waiting list if it was considered a reasonable approach in their jurisdiction.

(continued on the next page)

AHA is now differentiating between the opening and the closing of the waiting list in two different sections. AHA is also adding the ability to use a lottery or other method of randomization when opening its waiting list and determining the order that applicants are placed on the waiting list. If such method is chosen, AHA will announce it in the opening of the waiting list public notice.

New Language: Lottery Option [PIH Notice 2012-34]

PHA Policy The PHA may use the lottery system to select applicants to be placed onto the waiting list and their order of placement. If the PHA decides to use the lottery system, the PHA will fully describe the system of lottery selection to be used in the public notice.

After all complete and unduplicated applications are received during the waiting list opening, the PHA may conduct a random lottery to select the applicants if more than the maximum number of applications are received. Applicants will either be randomly assigned a number or an application date and time. The PHA may also use another method to determine a random order of applicants on the waiting list. The randomly placed applicants will be sorted according to the PHA preferences listed in Section 4-III.C.

Previous Language: Language related to the lottery option did not exist prior to this year.

Chapter 4 Modified Language: Selection Method

APPLICATIONS, WAITING LIST AND

TENANT SELECTION

4-III.C. Selection Method During FY 2018-2019, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded AHA with 55 Mainstream Vouchers to provide rental assistance and supportive services (through partners) to qualified non-elderly persons with disabilities who are transitioning out of institutional or other segregated settings, at serious risk of institutionalization, homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless. Last year, AHA included an admissions preference in its Plan for the targeted population in compliance with one of the conditions for these vouchers.

AHA would like to add clarification to the polices that govern the waiting list preference for the mainstream program. AHA will apply the live or work preference to mainstream program applicants as with all of the other applicants.

New Language: Local Preferences [24 CFR 982.207; HCV p. 4-16]

PHA Policy The PHA may open its waiting list only to certain local preferences [PIH Notice 2012-34]. The following is a list of local preferences offered by the PHA in their order of selection.

1. Special Needs Populations

a. For up to 55 vouchers, preference will be granted to non-elderly disabled persons transitioning out of institutional or other segregated settings, at serious risk of institutionalization, homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless. Applicants who live or work in the City of Anaheim will be given priority under this preference.

b. The PHA will commit up to 50% of annual new admission vouchers to assist Anaheim-based homeless families who are either:

i. Referred by an approved local service provider because they are participating in a local transitional housing program or are receiving other supportive and shelter services from that provider. Providers may be required to verify that applicants had ties to Anaheim prior to entering the shelter and commit to providing appropriate services to the client.; or

ii. Participating in a city-funded homeless program and have been referred by the connected service agency.

Applicants must meet all eligibility requirements. Admissions will be on a first come, first served basis and is subject to funding availability.

Previous Language:

Chapter 7 Modified Language: Verification of Preference Status

VERIFICATION 7-II.H. Verification of Preference Status On September 4, 2018, HUD awarded AHA with 55 mainstream vouchers to provide rental assistance to qualified individuals who meet an age, disability, and a housing situation requirement. As a condition for these vouchers, AHA was required to include a mainstream admissions preference in its Plan for the targeted population. AHA’s Plan already defines how age and disability is verified by the authority, but it currently does not define how the housing situation portion will be verified under the mainstream preference. AHA is now defining what type of verifications it will accept for the housing situation portion of the mainstream preference.

New Language: The PHA must verify any preferences claimed by an applicant that determined their placement of the waiting list.

PHA Policy Mainstream Preference – For verification of institutionalization or other segregated settings, the PHA will accept a statement from a medical professional who is familiar with the applicant and who can attest that the individual would be able to live on their own if housing assistance was available. For verification of at risk of institutionalization, the PHA will accept a statement from a medical professional who is familiar with the applicant and who can attest that the individual is at risk of becoming institutionalized because they do not have access to adequate housing. For verification of at risk of being homeless or homelessness, the PHA will accept appropriate documentation listed under 24 CFR 582.301. The PHA will not accept self-certifications. All certifications must be provided by a third-party source.

Previous Language:

The PHA must verify any preferences claimed by an applicant. PHA Policy Language related to mainstream preference verifications did not exist prior to this year.

Chapter 11 Modified Language: Changes in Family and Household Composition

REEXAMINATIONS 11-II.B. Changes in Family and Household Composition Currently, a family is required to request AHA approval to add a new family member (with the exception of children who join the family as a result of birth, adoption, or court-awarded custody). AHA would like to clarify that a household cannot request an addition of a new family member if the amount of HCV assistance provided by the PHA to the family drops to zero. Additional family members will not be approved through the 180 consecutive calendar days that the family may remain with zero HCV assistance.

New Policy: PHA Policy Families must request PHA approval to add a new family member (with the exception of members who join the family as a result of birth, adoption, or court-awarded custody), live-in aide, foster child, or foster adult. This includes any person not on the lease who is expected to stay in the unit for more than 30 consecutive days within a 12-month period and therefore no longer qualifies as a “guest.” Foster children and foster adults may be granted “guest” status for a period not to exceed 90 days. Requests must be made in writing and approved by the PHA prior to the individual moving into the unit. The PHA will not approve the addition of a new household member during the initial term of a lease of newly admitted household, unless the new member is joining the household as a result of birth, adoption, court-awarded custody, or if they would be a live-in aide. The PHA will not approve the addition of a new family or household member unless the individual meets the PHA’s eligibility criteria (see Chapter 3) and documentation requirements (see Chapter 7, Part II). The PHA will not approve the addition of a foster child or foster adult if it will cause a violation of HQS space standards. The PHA will not approve a request to add an entire family unit, two persons or more, to the current household composition. If the head of household adds a spouse or marital-type partner

ATTACHMENT 1

B.1 Revision of the PHA Plan Elements

the PHA will allow the addition of the minor children of that person upon verification that they will live with the assisted family at least 50% of the time. The PHA will not approve the addition of a new family member if the amount of HCV assistance provided by the PHA drops to zero. Additional family members will not be approved through the 180 consecutive calendar days that the family may remain with zero HCV assistance (see Chapter 12, Part I). For administrative and budgetary reasons, the PHA will only consider one request to add a family member to the household composition on an annual basis. A request to add a live-in aide does not bar the family from adding an additional member within the year. The PHA also may not consider a request to approve the return of a household member that was removed from the household composition within the last 12 months. Exceptions may be granted as a reasonable accommodation or other emergency situation. If the PHA determines an individual meets the PHA’s eligibility criteria and documentation requirements, the PHA will provide written approval to the family. If the PHA determines that an individual does not meet the PHA’s eligibility criteria or documentation requirements, the PHA will notify the family in writing of its decision to deny approval of the new family or household member and the reasons for the denial/The PHA will make its determination within 15 business days of receiving all information required to verify the individual’s eligibility.

Chapter 15 Modified Language: Special Housing Types

SPECIAL HOUSING TYPES

15. Special Housing Types [24 CFR 982 Subpart M] The AHA has the authority to permit, or not permit, families the use any special housing types such as shared housing, single room occupancy, congregate housing, group homes, cooperative housing, manufactured homes and homeownership. The only exception holds that AHA must permit use of any special housing type if needed as a reasonable accommodation for a person with a disability. AHA would now like to permit non-disabled families to use the shared housing special housing without needing a reasonable accommodation.

New Language:

PHA Policy Non-disabled families will be permitted to use the shared housing special housing type as long as the unit is in accordance with the requirements listed under Chapter 15, Part IV. Families will not be permitted to use the single room occupancy, congregate housing, group homes, cooperative housing, manufactured homes and homeownership special housing types, unless use is needed as a reasonable accommodation so that the program is readily accessible to a person with disabilities.

Previous Language:

PHA Policy Families will not be permitted to use any special housing types, unless use is needed as a reasonable accommodation so that the program is readily accessible to a person with disabilities.

B.6 Progress Report

PHA Goal: Expand the supply of assisted housing

On September 4, 2018, the Anaheim Housing Authority (AHA) received an additional allocation of 55 Mainstream Vouchers from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Mainstream vouchers provide rental assistance and supportive services (through different partners) to qualified non-elderly persons with disabilities who are transitioning out of institutional or other segregated settings, at serious risk of institutionalization, homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless. Throughout FY 2018-2019, AHA began the intake and lease-up process of the new mainstream vouchers. In order to create a list of eligible individuals, AHA screened its existing Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) waiting list and initially began accepting referrals from four service providers. These service providers included Mercy House, Dayle McIntosh, Illumination Foundation, and the Orange County Health Care Agency. These service providers committed to providing supportive services for a minimum of 1 year to the individuals that they referred. AHA has now began accepting referrals from more than a dozen providers throughout Orange County. Additionally, AHA opened up its HCV waiting list for new applicants to apply directly.

The El Verano Apartments is a proposed 100% Affordable 54-unit senior rental housing project. It is located in the corner of S. East St. and Lincoln Ave. on the previous site of the Sandman Motel. 50% of the units will be made available to homeless seniors. This project includes a commitment of 53 project-based vouchers. The Developer received a tax credit award in September 2018 to finance the project and it is currently under construction. The development is expected to be completed in October 2020.

In July of 2019, the Manchester/Orangewood Avenue Apartment project was successful in receiving a tax credit award. Twenty of the 102 units in the project will be made available to homeless families and the AHA will award 20 Project-Based Vouchers to assist the project. The project is set to start construction in March of 2020.

In December of 2019, the AHA awarded 50 project-based vouchers and $2 million dollar loan to the Salvation Army's Center of Hope Permanent Supportive Housing Phase I project (PSH project). The project is a 100-unit PSH project providing long-term housing solutions for individuals who are exiting a chronically homeless condition. The PSH project will include 98 studio units, all of which will be set aside for homeless individuals, with 50% being set aside for homeless individuals with disabilities, plus two one bedroom Manager’s units. The PSH project will also include a 325 bed low barrier shelter as part of a future phase, which will serve as the entry point to exit homelessness and will provide a wide array of on-site supportive services. The Salvation Army will be submitting funding applications to the State HCD, through the County of Orange No Place Like Home Program on January 8, 2020 and for Tax Credits from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee in August 2020 to assist with development of the PSH project. Construction is expected to commence January 2021.

The AHA continues to actively acquire and assemble property in the City that would provide for the creation of affordable housing. Below is an update for the year 2018-19:

The Housing Authority recently completed the acquisition of the Beach Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue site and it is in the process of being assembled for development of a mixed-use development project. Staff is currently assessing the development parameters of the site in preparation for development process.

The property known as the Karcher/UEI site is a Housing Authority-owned site and is in the process of being assembled for the development of a multi-generational affordable housing project. The Karcher/UEI site is located on Harbor Boulevard and West Carl Karcher Way. Staff is currently assessing the development parameters of the site in preparation for an RFP process to seek development proposals.

The property known as the Matrix site is a Housing Authority-owned site and is in the process of being assembled for the development of an affordable workforce rental housing project. The Matrix site is located on Anaheim Boulevard and Midway Drive. Staff is currently assessing the development parameters of the site and the necessary entitlements for development of the site.

PHA Goal: Improve the quality of assisted housing

During FY 2018-2019, AHA achieved a high performer SEMAP rating. AHA also continues to carry out a robust Quality Control program on all tenant files, for income calculation and quality of inspections.

The City of Anaheim has continued to seek opportunities to revitalize low-income neighborhoods characterized by substandard living conditions and high call for service, as evidenced in the Avon Dakota and Hermosa Village neighborhoods. Avon Dakota and Hermosa Village consist of multi-phased projects involving the acquisition and rehabilitation of apartment complexes and conversion of market rate units to long term affordable units.

The first phase of the Avon Dakota revitalization project was completed in 2013 and included the acquisition and rehabilitation of 16 units to provide affordable for low income families. The second phase of the project, consisting of 21 units for low income families was completed in January of 2019. Since 2014, the City has acquired nine additional properties in the Avon Dakota Neighborhood, totaling 24 units. These properties will be rehabilitated or will be part of a new construction project to provide affordable housing as part of a future phase three project.

The Hermosa Village Neighborhood Revitalization project consists of four phases completed between 2002 and 2008. The Phase I project consisting of 294 units resyndicated in 2017, which included the rehabilitation of the units to meet current standards, improving on-site resident amenities and adding four units to the project for a total of 297 units. The Phase II project consisting of 112 units is in the process of resyndicating to provide the capital to rehabilitate the Project and extend the affordability for an additional 55 years. The Developer will submit a Tax Credit funding application to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) and for Bond Issuance to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) in January of 2020.

ATTACHMENT 4 Page 3 of 4

If awarded, the rehabilitation is expected to commence in June 2020. All four phases in the Hermosa Village project consist of a total of 521 units.

As part of AHA’s neighborhood revitalization efforts, the authority is utilizing its own land for the development of the El Verano Apartments and the Manchester/Orangewood affordable housing projects. The El Verano Apartments will start construction in March 2019 and if the financing is secured the Manchester/Orangewood project could start construction in late 2019. These projects will involve the creation of 154 new affordable housing units for the elderly, working families and homeless families, including the potential property acquisition and construction of 35 new affordable housing units for homeless veterans for a total of 188 new affordable rental units.

PHA Goal: Increase assisted housing choices

On October 2, 2019, AHA staff participated in the California Association of Housing Authorities’ (CAHA) booth at the 2019 Apartment Buildings Conference & Expo in Pasadena, CA. The Expo was geared towards property owners, developers, real estate agents, and housing-related entities to provide educational resources, and networking opportunities. AHA staff conducted outreach and provided education about the housing choice voucher program to potential landlords. The CAHA booth was able to achieve a landlord interest list of 16 people who provided their contact information to receive additional information.

AHA continues its mobility agreement with three other PHA’s in Orange County, (the Garden Grove Housing Authority, the Orange County Housing Authority, and the Santa Ana Housing Authority), to increase housing choice throughout the county. Additionally, AHA maintains its contract with Go Section 8, a property listing service providing free listing options for landlords that allows program participants to search rental units that accept AHA rental-assistance.

PHA Goal: Promote self-sufficiency of assisted households

During FY 2018-2019, AHA enrolled 12 new Section 8 tenants into its Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program for a grand total of 100 participants utilizing this resource.

AHA continued strengthening its relationship with different partners in the FSS program to provide participants with a wide array of resources that can help them achieve their education and career goals. AHA worked closely with multiple local colleges to expand supportive services. Fullerton College’s Extended Opportunity Program & Service (EOP) office provided assistance with books that participants may need during their enrolled semesters. The North Orange County Community College District (NOCCCD) offers many classes to program participants that range from job seeking skills to specialized job and educational training. They also helped program participants with transportation by offering bus passes. Women Helping Women (WHW) offered participants job seeking and retaining skills and resources. AHA’s partnership with Boys Town helped provide supportive services to individuals who are suffering from abuse, addiction, abandonment or violence. Lastly, AHA also strengthened its relationship with NeighborWorks Orange County who

ATTACHMENT 4 Page 4 of 4

specializes in realty services. They offer participants help with housing counseling and education regarding credit and home ownership.

PHA Goal: Ensure equal opportunity in housing

Fair housing and reasonable accommodation information is provided in AHA’s briefing packets and notices. Fair housing information is also provided in the lobby and clients can utilize the Fair Housing Foundation’s services, with whom the City has a contract.

PHA Goal: Expand the Continuum of Care to assist the homeless population in Anaheim.

AHA operates a homeless set aside program, which entails a preference for homeless families in Anaheim who are referred by a local homeless service provider. In 2018-2019, AHA began accepting referrals for up to 50% of its annual new admissions.

AHA continues to participate in several committees for the Continuum of Care and coordinates with other PHAs in Orange County to strategize addressing homelessness.

During FY 2018-2019, the City served 1,905 persons through Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG), which is dedicated to preventing homelessness, reducing the number of homeless on the street and providing services to the sheltered and unsheltered.

The City also continued funding the Homeless Assistance Pilot Program (HAPP), which combines ESG and HOME funds to provide case management and rental assistance to program participants. The program focuses on assisting homeless families that have children attending Anaheim schools. During FY 2018-2019, the HAPP program served families. Of the 43 families served, 2 completed the program and moved to permanent housing and the rest are still being assisted.

In addition, the City also continued funding the Chronically Homeless Individuals Pilot Program (CHIPP), operated by Mercy House Living Centers and the Illumination Foundation. The program provides individuals with case management services and tenant based rental assistance. During FY 2018-2019, the CHIPP program served 38 individuals.

B.7 Resident Advisory Board (RAB) Comments

An invitation letter was sent to 19 current and prospective Resident Advisory Board (RAB) members to attend a meeting of the RAB to discuss the FY 2020-2021 PHA Annual Plan and changes to the Administrative Plan. The following are comments and questions from the RAB at the January 27, 2020 meeting:

• While discussing B.1, the “Revision of the PHA Plan Elements” section, all RAB members expressed support towards the following policy changes:

o Chapter 4 – The addition of a policy regarding the possible utilization a lottery system when opening the Housing Choice Voucher waiting list

o Chapter 4 – Clarification that the live or work preference applies to the mainstream preference

o Chapter 7 – The addition of a policy that defined how the housing portion of the Mainstream preference will be verified

o Chapter 11 – The addition of a policy that does not allow tenants to add a new household member if their rent portion drops to zero during 180 consecutive days that they are granted to remain on the program

o Chapter 15 – Policy change to permit the use of the shared housing special housing type for all households

The RAB members did not oppose or recommend any changes to any of the proposed policy changes.

• While discussing B.6, the “Progress Report” section, all RAB members read and discussed the housing authority’s plans to expand the supply of assisted housing. Overall, the RAB positive comments regarding the developments. Several RAB members asked where the “Beach Boulevard,” “Karcher/UEI,” and “Matrix” projects were located. AHA staff thanked the RAB for their questions and for pointing out that the cross streets of these projects had not been listed. AHA staff answered that the “Beach Boulevard” project is located on Beach Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue, the “Karcher/UEI project” is located on Harbor Boulevard and West Carl Karcher Way, and the “Matrix” project is located on Anaheim Boulevard and Midway Drive. AHA staff has since included these exact locations under the B.3 section.

• A RAB member asked what the housing authority has done to assist the homeless population in Anaheim. AHA staff read through and explained the accomplishments listed under the “Expand the Continuum of Care to assist the homeless population in Anaheim” goal. AHA staff explained that amount of vouchers that could be allocated towards the homeless set-aside program had increased from 25% to 50% of overall new admissions the previous year. AHA staff also discussed how the housing authority has been actively working towards leasing up mainstream vouchers throughout the past year, which specifically targets the homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless, population.

ATTACHMENT 5 Page 2 of 2

• While discussing B.6, the “Progress Report” section (specifically the “Expand the Continuum of Care to assist the homeless population in Anaheim” goal), a RAB member asked if the numbers of homeless individuals that were assisted last year could be included in next year’s summary. AHA staff thanked the RAB member for their comment and explained that prior year’s numbers had not been included as the summary intended to report only FY 2018-2019 accomplishments. AHA staff also acknowledged that including last FY year’s numbers could help compare progress the agency had made. AHA staff will be mindful of this comment when drafting next year’s summary.

• A RAB member asked how the housing authority helps individuals who are displaced due to a city project development. AHA staff explained that one of the remedies that the housing authority can offer is providing the displaced individuals a Housing Choice Voucher. AHA staff also explained that individuals are still required to be eligible for the Housing Choice Voucher program, which means that the individuals must be income and background eligible. Displaced individuals given a preference moving to the front of the waiting list as permitted by the housing authority’s Administrative Plan.

HOUSING AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT

City of AnaheimCOMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT

DATE: MARCH 24, 2020FROM: COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTSUBJECT: APPROVAL OF ANAHEIM HOUSING AUTHORITY’S

FY 2020-2024 FIVE-YEAR AND FY 2020-2021 ANNUAL PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY PLANS

ATTACHMENT (Y/N): YES ITEM # 02

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Governing Board of the Anaheim Housing Authority, by Motion, approve Anaheim Housing Authority’s Five-Year Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan for Fiscal Years 2020-2024 and the Annual PHA Plan for Fiscal Year 2020-2021, and authorize the Executive Director, or his designee, to execute required certifications and related documents.

DISCUSSION:

Section 511 of the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (QHWRA) created the Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plans, which consists of a Five-Year Plan and an Annual Plan. The Five-Year Plan must be submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) once every five years, while the Annual Plan covers each incremental year of the Five-Year Plan and is submitted on an annual basis. The last Five-Year Plan was submitted and approved by HUD in 2015 for Fiscal Years 2015-2019. As required by the QHWRA, staff has prepared the Five-Year PHA Plan for Fiscal Years 2020-2024 and an Annual PHA Plan for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 for submittal to HUD.

PHA Plans advise HUD, Section 8 participants, and other members of the public about the PHA’s mission for serving the needs of low-income and very low-income families, and the PHA’s strategy for addressing those needs. The Five-Year Plan provides details about the PHA’s overall mission and establishes the PHA’s goals and objectives for the next five years. The Annual Plan provides details about the PHA’s immediate operations, program participants, financial resources and a progress report regarding its services for the previous fiscal year. The Five-Year and the Annual PHA Plan must be consistent with the Five-Year and One-Year Consolidated Plan documents covering the same planning period.

HUD provides PHAs with an electronic template to be used in preparing and submitting their PHA Plans. Where applicable, greater detail on the programs and services offered

Approval of Anaheim Housing Authority’s PHA PlanMarch 24, 2020Page 2 0f 2by Anaheim Housing Authority (AHA) is included in attachments to the electronic template.

As required by HUD, a Resident Advisory Board (RAB) – consisting entirely of Section 8 tenants – was formed to assist in the preparation and review of the PHA Plan. A meeting to receive input from the RAB was held on January 27, 2020. A summary of the RAB members’ input is included in the Annual PHA Plan. Drafts of the Five-Year and Annual PHA Plans were made available for public comment for the mandated 45-day period commencing on December 27, 2019 and ending February 10, 2020. A public notice summarizing the purpose and content of the PHA Plans was published in the December 27, 2019 issue of the Orange County Register.

IMPACT ON BUDGET:

There is no budgetary impact to the Community and Economic Development Department’s budget. The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program is entirely funded by federal funds provided by HUD. In the event that program funds are reduced or eliminated, necessary cost savings would be achieved by reducing the number of households assisted by the HCV program. Reductions would be achieved through regular program attrition and/or, if needed, termination of assistance as outlined in the AHA Administrative Plan.

Respectfully submitted,

Public Comments (non-agenda items): None

Council Communications/Agenda Requests: Mayor Sidhu addressed the unprecedented times, the public health risk, and the economic harm caused by the shut-down of Anaheim’s economic engines. He stated schools are closed, businesses are closed or struggling, and the workforce is having trouble buying goods, paying rent, etc. He reported he had been working with staff, organizations, and stakeholders on an economic recovery plan to get the economy going again as soon as shut-down orders are lifted. He explained the plan would seek to expand support for the eviction moratorium to stabilize the housing market and small businesses; ensure utilities are not shut off for those who cannot pay their bills; provide support to small businesses through buy/dine/hire/use local programs to focus on helping as many businesses as possible keep people employed; ensure the Planning and Building Department continues to function to support the pace of development and improvements do not slow down including incentives such as fee deferrals, waivers, and entitlement extensions; to partner with local economic development banks to offer no/low interest loans to small businesses; provide an infusion of support to city employees to help with expedited plan checks, inspections ,and hiring; and work with long-time partners such as Visit Anaheim to make sure Anaheim is the destination to come back online and welcome guests and visitors again. As they were in the final stages of developing the program and wanting to announce details soon for Council consideration, Mayor Sidhu called for a Special Meeting on Thursday, March 26, 2020 at 5:00 P.M.

Mayor Pro Tem Faessel reported he facilitated a phone call last week between business stakeholders and the Emergency Operations Center to facilitate the distribution of much needed supplies from hotels and restaurants to the community.
