Annual Action Plan 2026 54 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) and preservation of affordable housing and includes the list of comprehensive goals, policies and programs that will be implemented to increase the City’s affordable housing stock. In PY 2026, the City plans to take the following actions to foster and maintain affordable housing. • The City will continue to implement its over-the-counter Affordable Housing Preservation Program (HPP). HPP is currently funded with approximately $5.8 million from Affordable Housing impact and in-lieu fees, local city funds, and Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds and is intended to support the conversion of market-rate housing into deed-restricted affordable housing and/or extending affordability for housing with expiring deed restrictions. The HPP responds directly to two main barriers to affordable housing preservation, as identified by stakeholders during community outreach for this program: providing a funding source for preservation and allowing developers to act quickly to acquire a property via over-the-counter funding process. The City issued its first loan for approximately $1.2 million in June 2025 for the preservation of 8 units in Redwood City. • The City will continue to implement its Affordable Housing Ordinance, which requires all residential development to provide 15-20% of the total units as affordable units for very low to moderate-income households or pay a fee in-lieu of providing affordable units. Additionally, the City has an affordable housing impact fee on all non-residential development to help mitigate the development’s impact on the need for affordable housing. In PY 2026, and in collaboration with 21 Elements, the City will complete new nexus and feasibilities studies, to update the affordable housing impact fees and Affordable Housing Ordinance. The City expects to bring amendments to the Affordable Housing Ordinance and impact fees to the City Council for consideration by end of PY 2026. • In addition to supporting housing production and preservation activities, the City continues to fund fair housing services that provide education and outreach, discrimination investigation and tenant-landlord assistance. Separate from the CDBG funded fair housing program, the City is continuing in PY 2026 the Tenant and Landlord Counseling Services Pilot Program which provides tenant and landlord outreach, education, counseling, mediation, and dispute resolution services. The City continues to monitor its deed restricted affordable housing to ensure compliance with affordability terms. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The City will continue to undertake lead-based paint hazard mitigation, when applicable, by the CDBG housing rehabilitation regulations. This can include inspection for lead-based paint, risk assessment, abatement, clean up, disposal work and clearance testing. This assistance will be in accordance with 24 ATTY/RESO.0019/CC RESO 2026 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN (CDBG) - EXHIBIT A REV: 05-01-26 LF Page 54 of 107
