AFFORDABILITY STRATEGY (CHAS)
SUMMARY: The ''National, Affordable Housing Act established the
requirement that local governments that apply for direct
assistance under, certain HUD_ programs have a
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy that has
been approved by HUD. The City of West Covina's 1992
CHAS is being updated by the proposed.1994-99.CHAS.
BACKGROUND
.The, Proposed Five -Year CHAS. updates: the: City's•. 199;2 , CHAS" adopted in
1992.. ' The -Five -Year CHAS is a comprehensive planning document that
identifies a jurisdiction's overall needs for affordable and
supportive housing. The CHAS outlines strategies to address needs
within a ..five. year. timetable. The, CHAS..describes market
conditions., establishes priorities ,for`meetirig- those. needs. and:,
identifies.: available. resources
The CHAS renl aces the.: Housinas Assistance. 'Plan', required, for - CDBG
funding and the Comprehensive- Homeless!Assistance�Plan- required by -
the McKinney Homeless`Assistance.Program.
The CHAS is,more than a prerequisite for funding_or a monitoring
tool. , for ;HUD''s own; use. The: major -purpose`- of: the CHAS is to
encourage jurisdictions to,. develop', a. comprehensive, long-term
strategy .f.or• addressing their needs. :for, affordableand,-supportive
housing.. ; .
Each-; jurisdiction that has an approved CHAS must- report- annually on
its; progress: in carrying out its housing. strategy-,, including an:
evaluation ofits= progress in' meeting goals established for the,
number of households and persons to be assisted..
,These reports must, be submitted by.. no ', later. than ,: December 31 of
each year covering performance .for.-the.per:i�od:of October`l through
September 3 0 - of the following year-.,
Before it submits a Performance Report.to HUD°, a city must provide
its citizens. with reasonable, notice,, of (at least 30:days) an
opportunity; :to comment on the report,.,,The city .must consider
comments received from' citizens and prepare.a summary, of those
comments. When the Annual Performance. Report is, submitted, it, must
include the summary of the citizen comments received..
CONTENTS
COMMUNITY PROFILE
The Community Profile part provides an overview of the
socioeconomic and. housing characteristics of the City of 'West
Covina. This information helps. define the City's current and
future housing needs and the City's.Five-year Affordable Housing
Strategy. The community profile includes analysis of market and
inventory conditions; housing needs assessment; and available
resources. Table 1C (attached) outlines the housing assistance
needs of low and moderate.income West Covina households. -
THE FIVE-YEAR STRATEGY
The Five -Year Strategy establishes housing program priorities as
well as prescribing programs and actions to resolve the housing,
issues identified in the community profile.
Housing issues are placed in three interrelated categories:
availability, adequacy, and affordability.
Attached is the Summary of the Proposed Five-year Strategy.
ANNUAL PLAN
The CHAS Annual Plan describes the investments,, specific activ-
ities, and households to be assisted for the Fiscal Year 1993-94.

A. SUMMARY OF FIVE-YEAR STRATEGY
;Pant I (Community Profile) of this CHAS provides a detaileddescription of the
demographic, employment, and housing characteristics of . West Covina, and
describes the housing policy implications of these characteristics. Part II (Five -
Year Strategy) .establishes housing program priorities. as well as prescribing
programs and actions to resolve the housing issues identified in the Community
Profile. Housing issues can be placed in three interrelated categories:
availability, adequacy, and affordability.
1: HO.USING AVAILABILITY
y Between 1980 and 1990, West Covina's housing stock (13.7 percent) had grown at
a slightly slower rate than the City's total households (14.0 percent), reducing the
City's- overall.. vacancy rate from 3.6 percent in 1980 to 3.3 percent in 1990. This
is considered a.. relatively low vacancy rate. Also, there are mismatches between
the City's,housing, needs based -on household. size and. the supply. of housing units
based: on-. unit: size.
As indicated: in- the:- housing availability. matrix. (Table..1) on. the following, page,
there, is -,an inadequate supply of small size (studio, one- and two -bedroom) owner .
unitsfor the City's small owner -households. While some small owner -households
may be. residing in large units, they may also be overextending themselves
financially to. afford these units. On the other hand, some large renter
households face severe housing overcrowding due to the limited supply of large
(3 or more. bedrooms). rental: units in the City. Affordability of these large rental.
units. also: becomes an issue as the demand exceeds. the supply. Also, the supply,
of:studio, units > for, the. City's single households is inadequate, forcing these
households. to overextend on housing cost in order to afford larger, units.
T-he:.following housing priority actions have been- established to address housing.
availability issues in West Covina:
o Expand: the: City's Affordable. Housing Stock through New, Construction
and. Rental Subsidies, with Emphasis on Lower Income Elderly,"
-
Disabled, First
a -Time Homebuyers, and Young Renter Households

2. HOUSING ADEQUACY
West Covina has a. relatively. new .housing, stock.: however,; nearly 44 percent of
its.housing:units are over. thirty years,old ',(the age, at which housing typically
needs. major, repair/rehabilitation),. and an additional 1.7 percent will:. reach thirty
'ears of,`age, during this CFIAS cycle: A-, Housing- condition survey ,conducted: in
1989: found that. 6.02 percent. of the- City's- housing .stock were in need of minor
repair and- 0.24 percent needed major repair.- No units were found that. needed
to be.. replaced. ..
Furthermore, a number of housing units in;. West. Covina: may _.contain lead -based'
; (LBP) and thus,, occupants may be exposed. to the, hazards of lead -
paint
poisoning: Lead, was banned: from residential; paint in''1978 -- many of he pre
1978.' homes contain- lead -based: paint. Bascd on age alone, an estimated 16,575
to. 21,990 units; (53<to: 71.percent) of the. City's total housing stock may potentially
con
tain:LBP; and 424 to' 564` of these units- may be occupied by very low and low
income households.', (Refer to Part I Tables 8 and 13. for age of the City's
housing stock. and estimates of units with. LBP' occupied by lower income
households;. respectively.),
The following housing priority action. has been established to address housing
adequacy issues in. West Covina:
o> Preserve the City's Existing, Affordable Housing, Stock..
Five -Year Strategy
West, Covina CHAS ` 1i--2 1994-99
3. HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
Housing affordability is income dependent.., As shown in the housing affordability
matrix (Table 2), housing affordable to very low income households in the City,
especially to those earning at or less than 30 percent of the Area Median Family
Income (MFI), is extremely limited. While the City does have a "surplus" of
rental units affordable to "other" low income households (51-8007o of ME), this
surplus would more likely benefit those at higher income levels than those with
very low. incomes. Given the limited number affordable ownership units in the
City, lower income -first-time homebuyers would have extreme difficulties in
obtaining affordable homeownership in the City. As a result, approximately 53
percent of the City's lower income owner -households and 78 percent of the lower
income renter -households had a housing cost burden in excess. of 30 percent in
1990. (Refer to CHAS Table 1C in Part I Community Profile of this CHAS.)
According to CHAS Table 1C, 44 percent. of the City'stotal households
experienced one or more housing problems in 1990. Housing problems include;.
1) overcrowding..(defined as units occupied: by more thanone person per room);
2) housing cost burden in excess of 30 percent of the household's gross income;
and/or 3) housing cost burden in excess of 50 percent of the household's gross
income.

B. PRIORITY ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT
In establishing five-year priorities, the City of West Covina has taken into
consideration both who among the various categories of low income households
(defined by HUD) are most in need of housing activities, and which activities will
best meet the needs of the identified households.
Priority numbers have been assigned to households to be assisted under each
priority. action according to the following I -IUD ranking:
"1". First Priority
"T' Second Priority
"3" . Third Priority
"0" No Assistance Anticipated
Under each housing strategy, the following items are discussed:
o priority actions identified to implement the strategy;
o rationale for .establishing the priority based on the demographic, and
socioeconomic characteristics. and their related housing needs;
o ' target population groups to be assisted and if any, target geographic
areas for assistance; and
o programs and resources to be used to implement the housing priority.
CHAS.Table 2 "Priorities for Assistance, 5-Year Plan" contained at the end of
this section delineates West Covina's priorities by general housing activity.
Five -Year Strategy
11-5 1994-99
w�
Strategy # 1: Preserve the City's Existing Affordable Housing Stock
Rationale #1: West Covina has a relatively ne4,housing stock. However, nearly
44 percent of its housing units are over thirty years old (the age at which housing
typically needs major repair/rehabilitation), and an additional 17 percent will
reach thirty years of age during this CHAS cycle. A 1989 housing condition
survey found that 6.02 percent of the City's housing stock needed minor repairs
and another 0.24 percent needed major repairs. There were no units that
needed to be replaced:
Rationale .#2: Based on age alone, an estimated 16,575 to 21,990 units (53 to 71
percent) of the City's total housing stock may potentially contain LBP, 424 to 564
of these units may be occupied. by very low and low income households. (Refer
to Part I Tables 8 and 13 for age of the City's housing stock and estimates of .
units with LBP occupied by lower income households; .respectively.) .
Target Groups/Location .
Programs to preserve the City's existing affordable housing stock are
implemented Citywide.
Implementing Programsand: Resources:
CDBG Home Improvement Program - This program makes available to eligible:
West Covina homeowners, a deferred (no interest): home improvement loan up to .
a maximum of $7,500, plus $75 processing fees. The note is secured by a Deed
of Trust and the loan is paid back to the City when the following occurs:
o the property is soldor title- is transferred;
o upon death. of the owners; or.
-.
o .whenever` the owners choose: to pay off.;
Preservation of At Risk Housing,- 'The City's. Redevelopment Agency is currently
assessing the units at risk, of converting to market rate housing, and will develop
and implement plans to preserve or replace these. units.
Replacement Housing for Displaced Low Income Households - Private and. public
projects will be evaluated to ensure that development .will not result in the
displacement of low, income households. If low income housing units are
removed', the project developer will be required to provide replacement units on
a one-to-one .basis.
West Covina CHAS
H-6
Five -Year Strategy
1994-99
Strategy # 2: Provide Rental Assistance to the City's Lower Income Households
Rationale 41: As stated in Part I (Community Profile) of this CHAS,
approximately 78 percent of the City's lower income renter -households
experienced a housing cost burden in excess of 30 percent in 1990. Housing
overpayment among very low income renter -households is particularly severe
(CHAS Table 1C -- Part I).
Rationale #2. As shown in Table 16 of the Community Profile, 20 percent of the
City's 'total renter -households lived in overcrowded units in 1990. Compared to
owner -households, overcrowding is a more severe problem among lower income
renters in general and lower income large family renters in particular.
Rationale #3. As shown in Table 11 of the Community Profile, affordable rental
housing in the City is limited. Only 16.3 percent of the Very Low Income. (0
30070 of Area MFI) households and 34 percent of the Very Low Income (31-5007o
of Area MFI), households may potentially be accommodated in affordable rental
units. Thus, there is a demonstrated need for providing additional assistance to
renter households �to alleviate their housing problems.
Target Croups/Locations: Very low income renter households, particularly. large
family households and elderly households, are given priority status.
Implementing. Programs. and. Resources:
Section 8-Rental .Assistance and Housing Voucher Programs - The .City will.
support and encourage the participation of rental property owners in the Section .
8 Rental Assistance and IIousing Voucher Programs funded by IIUD. West
Covina contracts with the Baldwin Park IIousing Authority and the Los Angeles
County Housing Authority to operate these programs in the City. As of October.
1993, 172 very low income households are receiving assistance through the
Baldwin .Park Housing Authority and the Los Angeles County IIousing Authority. ..
Changes in federal funding for these programs may limit future. subsidy,..but. the
City will continue to use these resources as available.
Mortgage Debt -Reduction Program - The West Covina Redevelopment Agency
offers a Mortgage Debt Reduction Program to owners of multiple -family units
within the Eastland and Central Business. District Project Areas- Under this
program, a•lump sum write -down of an. existing interest -bearing note. will be
offered by the Agency to reduce debt service on an existing multiple -family
apartment complex. In return, the property owner will execute with the Agency
a recorded covenant on the property which requires the continuance of
affordable rental rates for a specified number of units for the life of the
redevelopment plan (currently 30 years).
The percentage of -units restricted to affordable rents will be based on the level
of Agency assistance. Concurrently, a low interest loan may also be offered to

M�
the property owner for the improvement of the property as necessary-to'conform
to City codes. Property maintenance covenants will also be applied to the
Agency assisted apartment complexes.
Mobile Home Rent Control - West.Covina adopted the Mobile Home Park Rent
Control Ordinance in 1984 to limit rent increase for mobile home spaces. The
City will continue to enforce this ordinance to maintain these mobile home parks
as a continued source of affordable housing in the City.
Strategy # 3: Expand the City's Affordable Housing Stock through New
Construction, with Emphasis on Lower Income Elderly, Disabled, and First -Time.
Homebuyers
Rationale. #1: Table .10 in the. Community Profile indicates that the supply of
housing, units affordable to lower income households. is grossly, inadequate. Only.
12 percent of the Very Low Income (�-30°7b MFI), 17:percent-, of. the Very Low. "
Income (31-50% MFI),. and nine percent of the Other Low Income (51-80%
MFI) owner -household could potentially obtain affordable homeownership in the
City. Furthermore, Table 10 indicates that only seven vacant for sale units are
available at affordable prices. .
Rationale° #2 The: supply of housing units affordable to the City lower income
households is, limited . compared- to its, demand: As` shown in Table 11 in the
Community Profile of this" CHAS, most of: the City's rental units- are- affordable
only to households with incomes over. 50 percent of the Area"'Median Family
Income (Area. MFI).. Affordable rental units, especially large- units (with three or
more bedrooms),- are extremely. limited.
Rationale #3: According. CHAS Table 1C in, the. Community'Profile, 82 percent
of`the City's lower. income elderly renter, households: and .30 percent of the lower
income elderly owner=households experienced° one or more housing problems in.
1990...
Rationale #4.• According,, to, the 1990-Census„ an estimated '8,368 West Covina
residents had 'Work,, transportation, and/or self care limitations. It isassumed
that a substantial portion of these disabled persons fall within the Section 8
A. income limits. and require housing assistance. .
Target Groups- and. Locations. Lower income elderly households, disabled
persons;., and first-time homebuyers.
Implementing,.Programs and Resources:
Redevelopment Housing Set Aside Funds = 'Twenty percent of all tax increment
received by the Redevelopment Agency is.mandated to be used for. affordable
housing for households with income less than 120percent of the area median

family income. State Redevelopment law sets forth a variety of options for
localities to expend their 20 percent Set -Aside funds, includ?ng the following:
o Land disposition and write -downs
o Site improvements
o Loans
o Issuance of Bonds
o Land and building acquisition by Agency
o Direct housing construction
o ' Housing rehabilitation programs
a Rent subsidies
C Administrative costs for non-profit housing corporations
The West Covina Redevelopment Agency anticipates to receive approximately
$1,000,000 in Housing Set -Aside funds annually.
Senior Citizen. Housing Standards: - The City will encourage the provision of
elderly: housing through regulatory modifications for elderly housing projects. In
1984; the City's Zoning Ordinance was amended to include _provisions for senior
.
citizen housing with modified standards for minimum lot size, parking
requirements, and density bonuses. Also, when appropriate, the City grants
waivers- or reduction of park fees for senior housing projects.
.Fast T.racking/Pdority Processing - To encourage affordable: housing development,
the City has; establi'shed.fast-tracking/priority processing. procedures for
residential"projects for low income households. Development fees and charges
-
may also be reduced as appropriate.
Subsidized Financing for New Construction Using Other Funds - The City will
continue. to explore and evaluate the use of other public and private funding
sourcest to- subsidize new construction. Potential sources of funding include the
- Federal'HOME program,. State. housing tax credits, and the. Los Angeles County
Bond - program.
Strategy # 4r Provide Supportive Housing and Services for the Homeless,
Persons, at, Risk of. Becoming Homeless, and Non -Homeless. Persons with Special
Needs
Rirtionale #1. According. to the- 1990 Census, an estimated. 8,368.West Covina
residents had work, mobility, and/or self -care limitations, comprising
approximately nine percent of the City's total population.. According. to the
Community Profile of this CIIAS, 961 adult residents of West Covina may be
considered severely mentally ill, between 961 and 2,883, residents maybe
considered developmentally- disabled, and over 6,446 West Covina residents may
.suffer, from some form of physical disabilities. However; the provision. of
supportive housing for disabled persons in West Covina is inadequate compared
Five -Year Strategy
West Covina CHAS 11-9. 1994-99
r
to the needs. Two group homes with a total licensed capacity of 12 beds provide
for the supportive housing needs of the mentally ill, and 15 small community care
facilities serve the developmentally ill. No specific housing facility provide
supportive housing services for the physically disabled, although a limited number
of beds in some care facilities for. the developmentally disabled include space for
non -ambulatory people. Also, an estimated 63 of the City's. homeless persons
may be severely mentally -ill.
Rationale #2. There are an estimated 8,357 elderly: persons in the City of .West
Covina and approximately 35 percent of them are considered frail elderly with
one or more limitations to daily activities such as work, self -care, and/or
mobility. CHAS Table 1C in Part I of this CI-IAS indicates that over, 81 percent
of the lower income elderly renters and 78 percent of the lower income elderly
owners were overpaying for housing.
Rationale #3. In order, to provide an. estimate: of the number of homeless. in
West Covina, it was assumed that the homeless comprise 0.02 .percent of. the
West Covina population (0.02 percent is one=half of the -lowest proportion of the
homeless in L.A. County compared to the. L.A. County population). Therefore, it
is estimated that there are up to 192 homeless. people in West Covina.
Implementing Programs and:. Resources: -
CDBG Homeless and:,Public Services = 1 he City will - continue to use 'CDBG
funds to support agencies providing services to the homeless, persons at risk of
becoming homeless, and non -homeless persons with special needs. Past
recipients of CDBG funds include the following::
o Wings (YWCA) - provides counseling, guidance, crisis intervention, and
shelter: to abused women;
o West Covina: Community `Food Bank provides =food for, low income:
West Covina families at no cost: to the family.
o Careship Program - provides subsidies to low income families for
childcare costs.
o; Senior' Citizens- Assistance Program --provides counseling and, guidance
to' senior, citizens.
o Project Sister = provides counseling and' therapy for women who were
victims of. sexual assault or abuse.
o, Salvation Army - provides: food vouchers and vouchers- for emergency
