Plan Description - City of Tustin

Appendices
• The program can be accomplished by other means rather
than property transfer. It was felt that the provision of
affordable units could be accommodated in the Reuse
Plan without the need to take these units off the tax roll
including public/private partnerships, negotiated sale with
deed restrictions guaranteeing a certain number of units
being retained as affordable, the use of an economic
development conveyance by the LRA, etc.
3. Orange County Housing Corporation - The Orange County
Housing Corporation submitted a proposal requesting 30 family
units to be located somewhere within the installation's existing
family housing areas for use as "Bridge" housing for families.
The Task Force denied the request for reasons which included:
• Not all required application information was submitted.
More specifically, a detailed narrative description of the
proposed use was not provided; there were no specific
sites identified; there were no specifics regarding
experience with ownership provided; there was no clear
explanation of the proposed program benefit, target
clientele to be served, how the program was to
accomplish the goal of eliminating hopelessness, etc.;
and, there was no explanation of how a contracted
administrator would accommodate conveyance of
additional facilities.
• The applicant did not demonstrate an adequate enough
financial stability, adequate enough sources of funding
and presented a limited ability to finance the proposal in
that no surplus funds exist according to submitted audits
for the two previous years, and no new revenue sources
were identified in the information provided.
• The request for rental housing units was found to not
fulfill a critical need gap in Tustin's Consolidated Plan.
There is adequate supply of "for rent" properties
particularly in Tustin at rents which meet low-income
requirements.
• The proposal did not serve specific community needs as
participation in the proposed housing opportunity was
described to be from throughout Orange County.
