Additionally, the City must provide an Annual Action Plan (AAP) that outlines how the City of Rosemead will allocate resources and implement programs over the next year to address community needs and priorities. This plan serves as a one-year strategic guide that translates broader planning goals into specific actions, projects, and funding allocations. It identifies key initiatives, expected outcomes, and timelines, ensuring that resources are used effectively to support community development and improve the quality of life for Rosemead residents. For program year (PY) 2026–2027, the City will prioritize programs and projects that support housing and commercial improvements, maintain and improve neighborhood infrastructure, and provide essential services to vulnerable populations, including low- and moderate-income households, seniors, and individuals experiencing housing insecurity. The City will continue to coordinate with local service providers, community organizations, and residents to ensure that resources are distributed effectively, and that funded activities address the most pressing community needs. The development of the AAP included opportunities for public participation to ensure transparency and community input in the decision-making process. Public notices, outreach efforts, and a public comment period allowed residents and stakeholders to review the proposed plan and provide feedback before its final adoption. Through the implementation of the PY 2026–2027 AAP, the City of Rosemead aims to make strategic investments that strengthen neighborhoods, support residents in need, and promote sustainable community development. This report is prepared using HUD's current standard template for the City of Rosemead's AAP, entered directly into HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The strategies and projects identified in the AAP are intended to benefit low- and moderate-income (LMI) residents, support the revitalization of neighborhoods with higher concentrations of LMI households, and contribute to the overall well-being of the community. These efforts are coordinated with other federal, state, and local programs to maximize available resources and effectively address community needs. The AAP implements the goals and priorities established in the City’s 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan. During the development of the ConPlan, the City conducted outreach and engagement efforts to gather input from residents regarding community priorities and needs. The City also consulted with public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and local service providers to assess housing and community development challenges affecting LMI households and populations with special needs. Coordination also occurred with nonprofit partners to evaluate funding needs for housing programs and supportive services that assist individuals experiencing homelessness, LMI residents, and underserved neighborhoods. Based on community input, data analysis, and consultation with service providers, the following priority needs were identified in the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan: • Advance fair housing opportunities PY 2026-2027 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN ROSEMEAD 2 • Expand access to affordable housing • Enhance community services • Improve public facilities and infrastructure • Foster economic development • Support homelessness prevention and solutions • Ensure effective program administration Evaluation of past performance The City of Rosemead is committed to continuously improving the effectiveness of its programs and services. Each year, the City prepares the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), which documents the City’s progress in addressing community needs and meeting the goals outlined in the ConPlan and AAP. This report is submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and provides an overview of accomplishments achieved during the program year. Through ongoing monitoring of program performance and oversight of subrecipients, the City’s Community Development staff is able to assess program outcomes, identify opportunities for operational improvements, and address any issues related to resource allocation or program implementation. This process helps ensure that funded activities remain aligned with the City’s priorities and effectively serve low- and moderate-income residents. Overall, the City of Rosemead and its partner organizations have successfully implemented fair housing activities, housing programs, and community development projects identified in the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan. The City anticipates continued progress toward meeting its goals through the implementation of the upcoming 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan. More detailed information regarding the City’s past performance can be found in previous CAPERs, which are available on the City’s Community Development Department website.

PY 2026-2027 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN ROSEMEAD 11 AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction The ConPlan and AAP focus on activities to be funded with the two federal entitlement grants—CDBG and HOME—administered by HUD. Housing and community development needs in the City are extensive and require the effective and efficient use of limited funds. HUD allocates CDBG and HOME funding to eligible jurisdictions on a formula basis, using factors such as population, income distribution, and poverty rate. CDBG Program CDBG is an annual grant to cities to assist in the development of viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities, principally to persons of LMI. There is a wide range of activities that are eligible under the CDBG Programs. CDBG grantees are responsible for ensuring that each eligible activity meets one of three national objectives: • Benefiting LMI persons; • Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and • Meet an urgent need that the grantee is unable to finance on its own. The City is anticipating receiving approximately $542,776 in CDBG funds for the PY 2026-2027. HOME Program HOME funds are awarded annually as formula grants to participating jurisdictions (PJ’s). The program's flexibility allows local governments to use HOME funds for grants, direct loans, loan guarantees, or other forms of credit enhancement, rental assistance, or security deposits.

In addition to HOME providing affordable housing, the City implements the goals, objectives, and policies of the City's Housing Element by creating the incentive of density bonuses to developers that provide housing units affordable to LMI households. A density bonus is allowed in development with five or more units, excluding density bonus units. PY 2026-2027 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN ROSEMEAD 13 If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The City has two senior housing complexes that are currently rented exclusively by low-income seniors (Angelus and Garvey). The Angelus Senior Housing Complex was constructed in 1995, and the Garvey Senior Housing Complex was constructed in 2002. Both projects were constructed with assistance from the Community Redevelopment Agency, which no longer exists. However, these units are owned and operated by the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation, which is a nonprofit corporation established by the City to create affordable housing and will be preserved in perpetuity as affordable housing. There is a single waiting list for both senior housing complexes. Angelus Senior Housing Complex is made up of 50 one-bedroom units, while Garvey Senior Housing Complex contains 64 one-bedroom and 7 two- bedroom plus a manager unit at each site. In addition, the California Mission Inn is a privately owned facility located in Rosemead that offers seniors and disabled individuals with independent, assisted, and memory care living.

Table 5 – Project Information PY 2026-2027 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN ROSEMEAD 25 AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f) Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed. To prevent the concentration of low-income persons, City housing programs are marketed and available throughout the City. The programs are not directed to any one geographical area but rather the extremely low- to moderate-income (0 to 80 % of the MFI) persons and families. The City wants to promote a balanced and integrated community and is committed to providing assistance throughout the City. There are exceptions to this policy for activities limited to LMI block groups. Eligible activities in areas found to be LMI block groups include street improvements, improvements to public facilities, and improvements to facilities for persons with special needs. The LMI area benefit national objective applies if the activities benefit all persons in a residential area where at least 51% of persons will benefit from the activities. Housing conditions survey data report that many of these tracts (mostly multi-family residential) consist of a majority of structures and properties within the block that require major repair of building systems. The LMI residential areas in the City cover the very northern part and the Garvey district in the southern half of the City, below the Interstate 10 Freeway. The Garvey district is comprised primarily of residential land uses. Neighborhoods west of Walnut Grove Avenue on Garvey Avenue consist mostly of medium density residential with three smaller zones of low density residential. All residential land uses east of Walnut Grove Avenue are low density residential. The City is nearly completely built out and consists primarily of residential development. Most of the housing stock was built prior to 1989 and the rate of development of new units has tapered substantially. HUD provides estimates of the number of persons that can be considered low-, low- to moderate-, low-, moderate-, and middle-income persons based on special tabulations of data from the 2016–2020 ACS five- year estimates. LMI percentages are calculated at various principal geographies provided by the Census Bureau. Because timely use of this data is required by regulation, any changes to the City's existing service area boundaries would need to be approved by the City Council. Each year, through the adoption of the City's AAP, the City Council approves the service area boundaries as the City's official LMI "Target Areas" and "Deteriorating Areas". The City has traditionally used 80% or more of its CDBG resources to benefit these special areas and/or to operate programs available exclusively to LMI people (whereas HUD regulations only require a minimum 70% low/mod benefit level for CDBG activities). In order to continue to achieve this high ratio of low/mod benefit for its CDBG resources, and because of the compelling need to assist these special areas, the City will continue to direct CDBG resources to these special geographic areas. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Eligible LMI Block Groups 70 Community Wide 30 Table 6 - Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically To accommodate future residential development, improvements are necessary in infrastructure and Public Services related to man-made facilities such as sewer, water, and electrical services. Portions of the City are also constrained by various environmental hazards and resources that may affect the development of lower priced residential units. Although these constraints are primarily physical, and hazard related, they are also associated with the conservation of the City’s natural resources. Discussion See above. PY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan ROSEMEAD 26 AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.22 Introduction One Year Goals for the Number of Households to be Supported Homeless 0 Non-Homeless 0 Special-Needs 0 Total 0 Table 7 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Requirement One Year Goals for the Number of Households Supported Through Rental Assistance-Section 8 vouchers 0 The Production of New Units 0 Rehab of Existing Units 5 Acquisition of Existing Units 0 Total 5 Table 8 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Type Discussion The City uses CDBG and HOME funds for homebuyer assistance and rehabilitation of owner-occupied single-family properties. The City must use the HOME affordable homeownership limits provided by HUD when setting price limits for affordable home sales and when using HOME funds for home rehabilitation. Also, the use of funds for HOME assisted activities requires that the value of the property after rehabilitation must not exceed 95% of the median purchase price for the area. The HOME Final Rule offers two options for determining the 95% of median purchase price limit for owner-occupied single-family housing, as noted below: (1) HUD will provide limits for affordable housing based on 95% of the median purchase price for the area; OR (2) Perform a local market survey to determine the 95% of median purchase price limit. The City of Rosemead believes the 203(b) limits provided by HUD, for Los Angeles County, understate housing prices in Rosemead. Therefore, staff performed their own analysis to determine the 95% of median purchase price limits. To conduct a local market survey, the City must collect and present sales data by type of housing (for example, one- to- four-unit, condos, townhomes, and manufactured housing) on all or nearly all of the one- family house sales in the entire City. The data must be presented in ascending order of sales price and include the address of the listed properties and their locations within the City. The length of the reporting period varies with the volume of monthly home sales. If there are 500 or more housing sales per month within the City, a one-month reporting period must be used. If there are 250-499 sales per month, a two-month reporting period must be used. If there are fewer than 250 sales per month, a three-month reporting period must be used. If the total number of sales reported is an odd number, the median is established by the price of the middle sale. If the total number of sales is an even number, the higher of the two middle numbers is considered the median. Based on a comparison of local housing market listing prices and sales information, it was determined that the HOME Program After-Rehab Value Limits published by HUD do not accurately reflect current actual home purchase prices for the area. Therefore, as allowed by HUD, a local market survey was conducted for the City home sales for a three-month period using Chicago Title closed home sales data. This survey shows a median price for single-family homes of $825,000 in the City and a 95% median value price of $783,750 for single-family homes. The median condominium of $733,000, and a 95% median value price of $696,350 for condominium sales (see Appendix B - HOME Program After-Rehab Value Limits). PY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan ROSEMEAD 27 AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h) Introduction There is no publicly owned housing projects located in the City. LACDA provides rental assistance to the City residents through the Section 8 Voucher program. The primary objective of this program is to assist low-income (0 to 50 % of MFI) persons and households in making rents affordable. There is currently a lengthy waiting list for the Section 8 Program with an average wait of seven to ten years, if not longer. Each applicant is selected from the waiting list in sequence, based upon the date of preliminary application and Voucher availability. Although there are no public housing units, there are several affordable housing developments.

PY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan ROSEMEAD 29 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction Given the limited resources and small number of homeless in the City of Rosemead, homeless activities have been given a lower priority in the 2025–2029 ConPlan and subsequent AAP’s. The City of Rosemead is using $199,705 from its Measure A Local Solutions Fund allocation to address homelessness within the community. These funds are being directed toward programs and services that support individuals experiencing homelessness, including outreach, housing assistance, and related support efforts aimed at reducing homelessness locally. The City is relying on coordinated efforts with the LAHSA to provide shelter opportunities; the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition (ESGV) for the Homeless to provide information, counseling, and referral services to homeless persons that reside in the City, Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley to provide emergency shelter services and social services for families with children, as well as other local agencies in providing services for homeless persons. L.A. CADA, as a recipient of City HOME-ARP funds, will continue to provide homeless outreach. In addition, although not funded by the City, Maryvale, located in Rosemead, provides transitional and supportive housing for up to 29 mothers with up to two children under the age of 10 and up to 14 female students attending a college. On November 12, 2025, the City Council authorized the City Council to execute an Agreement with Family Promise of SGV to administer both the Flexible Rental Subsidies and Homelessness Prevention assistance on behalf of the City. • Flexible Rental Subsidies: Offer six months of rental assistance and case management to help individuals and families currently experiencing homelessness secure and maintain permanent housing. • Homelessness Prevention Assistance: Offer financial support such as rental arrears, deposits, moving costs, and case management services to prevent at-risk households from falling into homelessness, with program oversight to ensure alignment with county efforts. In 2023, the City of Rosemead was awarded $1,222,084 of HOME-American Rescue Plan Act (HOME- ARP) funding by the HUD. These funds are to provide housing, services, and shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations. To respond to critical needs in Rosemead, the City prioritized HOME-ARP funds for homeless supportive services as defined as a qualifying population under the HOME-ARP regulations. The City has partnered with L.A. CADA, a qualified homeless provider specializing in substance abuse cases and other supportive services, including outreach, sheltering, mental health, and case management. Every year, LAHSA conducts a census of the homeless population through the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count. The latest count occurred in January 2025, however, results have not been tabulated by LAHSA. In January 2024, the Los Angeles CoC PITC determined there was a range of 137-166 people experiencing literal homelessness within Rosemead. Of the range of people experiencing homelessness within Rosemead who were captured through the PITC enumeration process, 44 were unsheltered, and there were an additional 56 improvised dwellings that would account for additional uncounted. No emergency shelters or transitional housing programs currently exist within the City’s jurisdiction. People are considered sheltered when they are residing in emergency shelter or transitional housing, but not when they are receiving rapid rehousing assistance or residing in permanent supportive housing. The information below shows the living situations of people experiencing homelessness within the City PY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan ROSEMEAD 30 at the time of the 2024 PITC. As can be seen, most people who are experiencing homelessness within the City are staying outdoors on the streets, in tents, or in makeshift shelters. • Persons on the Street: 44 • Persons in Cars: 23 • Persons in Vans: 4 • Persons in RVs/Campers: 10 • Persons in Makeshift Shelters: 13 • Persons in Tents: 6 • Demographics or family status were not reported. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs. The City will work with the above agencies to reach out to homeless persons and assess their individual needs. As mentioned above, the City is in close coordination with the LAHSA to facilitate regional coordination for homeless needs. Los Angeles County is divided into eight SPA’s, 1 through 8. The division of the County allows the Department of Public Health to target and track the needs of each area. The City of Rosemead is in SPA 3. Every year, the Los Angeles Continuum of Care coordinates a Shelter/Housing Inventory Count and a Point-in-Time inventory of service projects within the Los Angeles Continuum of Care. The Housing Inventory Count records how many beds and units are dedicated to serving the homeless, as well as a record of utilization of services on the night of the count. Family Promise is an emergency shelter for homeless families with children located in the City of Rosemead. In addition, although not funded by the City, Maryvale, located in Rosemead, provides transitional and supportive housing for up to 29 mothers with up to two children under the age of 10 and up to 14 female students attending a college. While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact number of homeless persons, the results of the annual PITS conducted for 2024 were 100 homeless individuals. Within the City, indicators such as increasing housing costs, rising unemployment rates, and low wages coalesce to keep homelessness a problem in the San Gabriel Valley. The City of Rosemead is using $199,705 from its Measure A Local Solutions Fund allocation to address homelessness within the community. These funds are being directed toward programs and services that support individuals experiencing homelessness, including outreach, housing assistance, and related support efforts aimed at reducing homelessness locally. On November 12, 2025, the City Council authorized the City Council to execute an Agreement with Family Promise of SGV to administer both the Flexible Rental Subsidies and Homelessness Prevention assistance on behalf of the City. • Flexible Rental Subsidies: Offer six months of rental assistance and case management to help individuals and families currently experiencing homelessness secure and maintain permanent housing. • Homelessness Prevention Assistance: Offer financial support such as rental arrears, deposits, moving costs, and case management services to prevent at-risk households from falling into PY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan ROSEMEAD 31 homelessness, with program oversight to ensure alignment with county efforts. The City will fund organizations including Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley, Heart of Compassion, L.A. CADA, and Goodwill of Southern California. Family Promise is located in the City of San Gabriel and provides food, shelter, and support services for homeless families. Counseling and homeless prevention services are provided for at-risk families. Heart of Compassion (HOC) distribution is a food bank and social service organization. HOC works to alleviate hunger, food insecurities, and the suffering of those who have fallen into hard times. L.A. CADA Rosemead Outreach Team will continue to provide services to the homeless community. Additionally, Goodwill of Southern California will provide employment assistance, financial literacy, and case management for the homeless community. The City allocated HOME-ARP funds to L.A. CADA to provide transitional and supportive housing for those in rehabilitation from substance abuse. The L.A. CADA team consists of two full-time homeless outreach navigators dedicated to the City of Rosemead. Services include emergency housing, transitional housing, and supportive services, including linkage to healthcare, permanent housing, and workforce development. L.A. CADA’s resources include over 550 multidisciplinary behavioral healthcare workers, including additional specialists, physicians, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, RNs, LVNs, state-licensed clinical therapists, registered SUD counselors, navigators, case managers, and dedicated peer mentors with lived recovery experience. These supportive services will further advance compassionately, respectfully and with perseverance a stronger, wider, and more effective approach to combatting homelessness in Rosemead. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons. L.A. CADA was consulted as part of the public outreach process. L.A. CADA provides transitional and supportive housing for those in rehabilitation from substance abuse. This organization continues to have a growing need to supply housing for its clients. They intend to continue to grow their capacity to serve families recovering from alcohol and drug abuse throughout Los Angeles County. The El Monte Access Center as noted above also provides employment assistance, information, and referrals for housing placement and rapid re-housing services. Full-time L.A. CADA staff, dedicated to the City of Rosemead, are present Monday through Fridays, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. They are out in the field the majority of the day, but typically return to the Public Safety Center at 3:00 p.m. In addition, they may also transport homeless individuals to temporary housing facilities that are outside of the City. They typically have two full-time staff on duty, however, on Wednesdays, they may have up to five. The City will continue to review and support transitional and supportive housing on a case-by-case basis. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. As stated above, the City is relying on coordinated efforts with LAHSA, Maryvale, L.A. CADA, ESGV, and Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley to make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. PY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan ROSEMEAD 32 Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low- income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care, and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs In addition to the agencies above, the City will continue to seek and work with local non-profit agencies that provide emergency food, clothing, and referral services to low-income City residents; many of which are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. The City’s subrecipient, Goodwill, hosts job fairs, which is a prevention mechanism and collaboration with L.A. CADA. PY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan ROSEMEAD 33 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j) Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. During the next year, the City will continue to work cooperatively within existing legislatively mandated constraints and work to develop or encourage public policies that foster further affordable housing development and assistance. To promote integration and prevent low-income concentrations, the City designed its affordable housing programs to be available Citywide. This priority also serves to make sure that the City does not have any policies, rules, or regulations that would lead to minority or racial concentrations. In April 2025, the City adopted the 2025-2029 AI report. Through data analysis and community engagement activities the following barriers to fair housing were identified: • High housing Costs • Lack of funding for LMI housing programs • Lack of interim or ‘bridge’ housing • Low affordable unit volume & availability • Location and quality of housing • Unsuccessful ‘Housing First’ model • Unsuccessful use of ‘Land Banking’ • Lack of senior housing • Lack of resources and programming for those having drug addiction and mental behavioral issues • Greater need for homeless case management • Fair housing discrimination services • Need for down payment and or closing costs for homeownership • Proposition 13 tax implications for senior residents The final chapter of the AI report discusses the ways and means the City can begin to remediate or reduce the barriers to affordable housing. The following goals were adopted: 1. Increase Affordable Housing Opportunities: Address the lack of affordable rental and homeownership opportunities. 2. Reduce Barriers to Accessing Supportive Housing: Expand supportive housing for vulnerable populations, including individuals experiencing homelessness, seniors, and people with disabilities. 3. Support and Add Capacity for Housing Programs and Services: Reduce at-risk homeless populations through targeted social services and housing programs. 4. Increase Fair Housing Law Enforcement and Awareness: Increase education and enforcement of fair housing laws to combat ongoing discrimination. 5. Reduce Conflicting Zoning and Policy Challenges: Modify restrictive zoning laws to encourage the development of affordable and supportive housing. Discussion: See the above discussion. PY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan ROSEMEAD 34 AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City plans to work with and partner with other agencies and development corporations to further the recommendations of the AI and affordable housing initiatives. The City strives to reduce homelessness, maintain existing housing stock, and stimulate economic growth by funding commercial façade rehabilitation programs. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City will continue to pursue both traditional and non-traditional strategies to increase the supply of affordable housing and address the needs of low- and moderate-income households, including persons experiencing homelessness and renters seeking homeownership opportunities. A key component of this approach is the strategic layering of state and local funding sources, including Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds and CalHome program funds, in order to maximize impact and leverage private investment. Through the Permanent Local Housing Allocation program, the City is supporting both the development of new affordable ownership housing and the expansion of homeownership opportunities. PLHA funds are being utilized to assist in the development of some affordable units through the Marshall Hart projects, as well as to provide down payment assistance to income eligible households. These activities directly support the City’s goal of increasing the availability of affordable ownership opportunities and stabilizing the local housing market. In addition, the City is implementing a CalHome funded ADU and JADU loan program to assist low- income homeowners in constructing accessory dwelling units. This program is intended to increase the supply of smaller, more affordable rental units while also providing homeowners with additional income opportunities. The program supports infill development, efficient use of existing residential lots, and long-term affordability through income eligibility requirements. The City will continue to combine these funding sources and explore innovative housing solutions to meet the priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan, including preservation of existing housing, expansion of affordable housing opportunities, and support for economic mobility. The Cassia Project is an approved residential planned development project consisting of 37 residential units located at 8601 Mission Drive. The development includes four units affordable to low income households and represents one of the City’s efforts to integrate affordability into new residential development. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The City continues to evaluate every housing rehabilitation project to assess lead-based paint hazards ultimately reducing risk each year. The City procures the service of a State Certified Lead Consultant to provide the following: • Lead-based paint and soil inspection; • Lead-based paint risk assessment; • Lead-based paint hazard reduction monitoring; and • Post-hazard reduction clearance test. PY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan ROSEMEAD 35 Under the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, the City will continue to provide each owner who participates with both oral and written information regarding the dangers of lead-based paint and what to do about it. Owners of properties constructed before 1978 will be required to meet certain lead-based paint requirements prior to being assisted. These requirements include the following: • Distribution of lead-based paint notification pamphlets to all households occupying assisted units. • Inspection of all properties for defective paint surfaces. • Abatement of all defective paint surfaces identified at the time of the inspection. Through the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, financial assistance will be provided to eradicate the problem. Full abatement will be undertaken in all rehabilitation projects over $25,000. It is the responsibility of the City's Housing Division of the Community Development Department to ensure that properties constructed prior to 1978 meet the lead-based paint requirements and that any abatement of defective paint surfaces is completed by contractors certified by the State of California Department of Health Services. A copy of the contractor's certification will be kept on file. In addition, the City requires clearance for all properties that fail an HQS inspection due to chipping, peeling, and cracking surfaces greater than two sq. ft. on the interior and 20 sq. ft. on the exterior of the unit or in common areas. A risk assessment will be required to be completed by a certified risk assessor whenever the City is notified that a child with an environmental intervention blood lead level (EIB) plan to live in a unit receiving CDBG and/or HOME assistance. Furthermore, the City is currently in discussions with LACDA to establish a partnership on their new Lead Free Homes LA program. The program intends to help protect children under six and pregnant people from lead exposure by finding and fixing lead-based paint hazards in older homes. Eligible residents may receive a no-cost home assessment, repairs to remove hazards, and relocation assistance while work is done. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City has established goals and policies designed to improve the local economy and reduce the level of poverty within the community. The strategy is outlined in the following sections. Housing and Community Development The following programs and services are either funded in part by the City or exist within the City providing for the daily needs of residents. • Angelus/Garvey Senior Housing Complexes—rental assistance for seniors • Rosemead GO - transportation service for seniors • Rosemead GO Plus - offers affordable transportation throughout the City for the convenience of senior and disabled residents • Fair Housing Foundation - landlord/tenant information and assistance • Family Promise - homeless services for families • Garvey Community Center/Rosemead Community Recreation Center - variety of services including counseling services, social service programs, recreational programs, and information PY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan ROSEMEAD 36 and referral services • Senior Nutrition Program - nutritious meals for seniors • LACDA - rental assistance • Residential Rehabilitation Programs - rehabilitation of a home • California Mission Inn - assisted living, independent living, and memory care options for seniors and the disabled • YMCA of West San Gabriel Valley - variety of services including childcare, after-school enrichment, youth leadership and development, mentoring and tutoring, youth and adult sports, fitness, camping, and family support activities • YWCA-Wings - emergency shelter for women and children • Wealth by Health - health and wellbeing of underserved populations • Asian Youth Center - provides emergency food assistance • L.A. CADA - provides transitional and supportive housing for those in rehabilitation from substance abuse. Economic Development The City supports activities that promote economic development, including business attraction and retention. Through these efforts, the City works to attract new businesses while also supporting and retaining existing businesses within the community. The City operates a Commercial Improvement Program that assists local businesses with storefront and exterior improvements. The program helps enhance the appearance, safety, and energy efficiency of commercial properties, contributing to a more vibrant and economically resilient business environment. In response to the needs of the Rosemead business community, the City has modified the program to provide more effective assistance, and demand for the program has increased significantly. Creating attractive and energy-efficient storefronts continues to be a priority need within the City. In addition, the City continues to support businesses that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing resources and programs aimed at stabilizing and strengthening the local economy. Low Income Housing Tax Credit Coordination (LIHTC) Currently, the City uses CDBG funds and HOME funds for affordable housing development through housing rehabilitation programming. The City has a HOME-funded development fund. As part of that, there may be additional opportunities to use the Low- income Housing Tax Credit funds. In order to coordinate and assess the need for tax credits for the development of a housing project, the Housing Division of the Community Development Department staff will work with developers and non-profit agencies pro forma, serve as part of the team developing tax credit financing and will calculate the financing gap, along with the maximum and minimum subsidies. This will ensure that the City’s HOME coordination will meet HOME requirements for the LIHTC program. PY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan ROSEMEAD 37 Actions planned to develop institutional structure The City’s Housing Division of the Community Development Department retains the responsibility of managing CDBG and HOME administration, project determinations, project funding and drawdowns, community and Public Services, staffing, and HUD monitoring. This role also requires continued coordination with the CoC in the region. One of the largest challenges the City faces is the lack of funding to maintain community facilities and services currently offered. Management of the network of agencies, programs, and assistance available to residents is an ongoing and time-consuming task that requires a large number of City staff. Creating an institutional structure that can develop and share data on the progress and status of beneficiaries through the development of integrated information systems such as the Coordinated Entry System and CoC. These outside institutions play a major role in the delivery of community development programs. It remains important that the City further supports its social services that provide transitional and permanent housing, emergency shelters, and supportive services. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City will carry out the PY 2026–2027 AAP through its various organizations and subrecipient partnerships. In addition, City departments must work together to achieve the goals set in the AAP. The City works with the county and state governments and private industry construction contractors, non- profit organizations, and social service providers to implement the projects within the AAP. The City is committed to extending and strengthening partnerships among all levels of government, nonprofits, and private sector. Discussion: See the above discussion.
