The report includes a series of recommendations for each of the 88 cities in Los Angeles County. However, it does not provide funding to the cities to implement the recommendations. The City Council will also be provided with information regarding the City's current efforts to assist the homeless population. Staff Recommendation: that .the City Council receive and file the Interim Report and provide direction, if any. BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION In late December of 2015, an Interim Report (IR) by the 2015 -2016 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury issued a nine -page document entitled: Inadequate El Nino Planning for County Homeless Population (Attachment A). The IR makes a series of recommendations to each of the 88 cities in Los Angeles County. However, it does not provide funding to the Cities implement the recommendations. The 2015 Homeless Count conducted in January of 2015 identified 23 homeless individuals in Rosemead. (Refer to attachment B.) Over the past several years, the City has provided social services funding to Family Promise of the San Gabriel Valley through its federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Family Promise is a consortium of churches that provides shelter and services to homeless families throughout the year. One of the shelters operated by Family Promise is located at Evergreen Baptist Church in Rosemead. Refer to Attachment C.) In addition, the City's Housing Project Coordinator in the Community Development Department provides services to homeless individuals on an as- needed basis. Enclosed is a memorandum from Marcy Marquez describing the services with an ITEM NUMBER: 5-BI City Council Meeting June 13, 2006 Pape 2 of 2 attached list of Homeless Supportive Services Organizations, and attached information regarding the 2015 -16 Winter Shelter Program with local Shelter Locations and Transportation Schedule. (Refer to Attachment D.) PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS This item has been noticed through the regular agenda notification process. Attachments Attachment A INADEQUATE EL NINO PLANNING FOR COUNTY HOMELESS POPULATION: An Interim Report (IR) by the 2015 -2016 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The enormous and growing number of people without homes in Los Angeles County is tragic.' Our county must better address the reality that more than seventy (70) percent of them, about 29,000 people, will be unsheltered during what is expected to be a historic rainy season. The members of the 2015 -2016 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury (CGJ) are alarmed by this fact. We have learned, as a result of recent inquiries to the 22 largest cities in the county, that not enough is being accomplished to alleviate the suffering that is certain to increase among those who lack reliable shelter as a- massive El Nin "o weather pattern approaches. We urge at a minimum that funds be expended for the immediate stockpiling of supplies and equipment sufficient to provide at least minimal sheltering for homeless people who cannot be accommodated in shelters so that they might survive the rainstorms to come. A plan to efficiently distribute these supplies must be put in place. The CGJ is pleased that there is an effort to clear riverbanks and dry washes of human encampments as the winter approaches , but. we are very concerned that the 2,772 shelter and surge capacity beds planned by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) is just a fraction of the number necessary to shelter homeless people in severe weather. Moreover, the information we received also indicates that current planning by individual cities will not adequately supplement the LAHSA shelter s. The CGJ believes this situation is unconscionable and grossly inadequate. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority reported 44,359 homeless people in Los Angeles County in its January 2015 count. http://www.lahsa.org/homelesscount results See Appendix: Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury Homeless Survey s This El Nino is predicted to be perhaps the strongest on record. http: / /www. latimes .com /local/weather /la- me -In- el-nino- coming- 2 015 11 13 -story html The sea - surface water temperature in the Eastern Pacific Ocean reached its highest average point at this time of year since 1950. http://www.wunderground.com/news/strong-el-nino- december-2015 Above - average precipitation is forecast during the 90 -day period beginning in January 2016. http //v ww cpc ncep noaa zov /products /predictions /long range /lead01/off01 prep gii 4 http: //www latimes com / local /countygovernment /la- me- tulunga cleanup 20151115 story html 5 http:/ /documents lahsa.org /Programs /funding /2015/2015 WSP RFP Funding Recommendations ,pd http• / /flle.lacounty gov /bc /g4 2015 /crosl 235457 .pd s See Exhibit B, infra. 2015 -2016 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY INTERIM REPORT 1 11. RECOMMENDATIONS The Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury therefore makes the following recommendations. IR1.1. The County of Los Angeles and each of its 88 cities should immediately locate buildings that could be used to shelter the approximately 29,000 homeless people who will not be accommodated by the plans known to the CGJ from the expected torrential rains. IR1.2. The County of Los Angeles and each of its 88 cities should determine what additional supplies and equipment need to be relocated to the buildings identified above to provide for the basic human needs of the people housed in those buildings during the El Nino event. These buildings should be identified and located according to need across the County. Shelters additionally should provide space for'personal items and be staffed and controlled by Department of Health employees and patrolled by police. IR1.3. The County and its 88 cities should immediately take steps to reasonably modify ordinances and regulations that would impede the sheltering of people in public structures and facilities during the El Nino event, by relaxing restrictions in health, fire, and other safety standards applicable to non - catastrophic times. IR1.4. The County and its 88 cities should immediately take steps to waive ordinances and regulations that for whatever reason similarly block private entities from providing temporary shelter to people without homes. IR1.5. The County of Los Angeles and each of its 88 cities at a minimum should purchase and provide tents, tarps, and ponchos to people who cannot be accommodated in shelters because they have pets or for whom there is no room in existing emergency shelters. Every step should be taken to assure that unsheltered people remain dry and avoid hypothermia. IR1.6. The County and its 88 cities should make plans or they should partner with non- governmental entities to distribute these supplies. IR1.7. Public Service Announcements should be made throughout Los Angeles County about the location of public - building shelters available to unsheltered people, including public transportation when needed. 2015 -2016 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY INTERIM REPORT III. BACKGROUND The CGJ is aware that approximately 44,000 people are homeless in our county. and that on any given night seventy (70) percent of them are not sheltered .7 Thus every day more than 29,000 people sleep on our streets and in parks. The County and its largest cities have developed plans for the coming winter that include providing emergency shelter for just a fraction of that number. IV. METHODS AND PROCEDURES The CGJ gathered information from cities within the county with populations exceeding 85,000. The questionnaire sent to city managers and to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) asked recipients to provide a current estimate of homeless people in their jurisdictions and to detail plans to shelter those individuals in extreme weather. The questionnaire is attached in the Appendix. V. DATA The Grand Jury examined the data it collected and focused on the information pertaining to cities of 100,000 or more in population These sixteen (16) cities, listed in Exhibit B, are located in all areas of Los Angeles County. The data present a clear picture of what preparations have been made to provide shelter to the County's homeless population during severe winter storms. The data clearly chews that the number of be planned will benefit just a fraction of the homeless population. Approximately 25,000 unsheltered homeless people in large cities across the County will be left unsheltered. Preventable outcomes, such as great suffering and possible loss of life in an already unhealthy segment of our population, will likely occur. Exhibit A, which follows, is a chart showing the relationship between the total estimated numbers of unsheltered homeless people in those cities compared to the projected number of winter storm shelter beds provided by Los Angeles County and those sixteen (16) cities. 7 http: / /iahsa.org /homelesscount results 8 See data in Exhibit B. This report specifically does not address shelter beds that are not funded directly by Los Angeles County or its 88 cities. . 9 LAHSA covers all of Los Angeles County and assists county departments and independent cities coordinate the local response to the ever- increasing number of individuals without homes in the county 2015 -2016 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY INTERIM REPORT 3 Exhibit A Al Estimated number unsheltered homeless ® Number of available beds This pie chart shows that only 13.2% of the unsheltered homeless people in LA County's 16 largest cities will have shelter beds provided by LA County or the cities themselves. Exhibit B lists the County's sixteen (16) largest cities and shows the number of homeless people, including those unsheltered, indicated by those cities. It also lists the number of winter shelter beds planned to be available. 4 2015 -2016 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY INTERIM REPORT EXHIBIT B This chaii lists the 16 largest cities in Loa=Angeles County and the estimated number of homeless people and unsheltered homeless people in each (provided by the cities themselves). It lists the number of winter shelter beds planned for each jurisdiction. Every effort was made by the CGJ to obtain accurate information for this chart. *The available bed number listed is included in LAHSA Winter Shelter grants for 2015- 2016. VI. FINDINGS There are more than 44,000 homeless people in Los Angeles County. There is a severe lack of shelter beds and /or emergency beds available in Los Angeles County, 2015 -2016 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY INTERIM REPORT There is very little substantive planning, at least as reported to the GGJ, ,that has the purpose of keeping large numbers of people dry during severe rainstorms. There are coordinated sweeps of river banks and dry washes, and, presumably, other areas known to present risk of flooding. There is little or no effort to suspend ordinances and regulations to provide additional shelter by government or private entities. Some private entities would provide emergency shelter if permitted to do so. VII. REQUEST FOR RESPONSE California Penal Code Sections 933(c) and 933.05 require a written response to all recommendations contained in this report. Such recommendations shall be made no later than ninety (90) days after the Civil Grand Jury publishes its report (files it with the Clerk of the Court). All responses to these interim recommendations of the 2015 -2016 Civil Grand Jury must be submitted within ninety (90) days following the release of the report to the public, to: Presiding Judge .

Villacarlos 2015 -2016 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY INTERIM REPORT APPENDIX Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jurd Homeless Survey TOPIC: Shelters for Extreme Weather Events and /or Heavy Rain Events As you may be aware, the function of the Civil Grand Jury is to investigate selected aspects of the operations of county and city government. We therefore ask a few questions related to your city's policy and plans concerning caring for the homeless during periods of extreme weather events such as unusually cold weather and heavy rain, which is often accompanied by flooding, mudflows, and landslides. We ask these questions now because of the impending likelihood of heavy rainstorms during the strong El Nino weather season forecast to soon impact Southern California. Please provide the name, phone number and email contact of person with primary responsibility for dealing with the homeless people in your city and please provide by November 18, 2015 the following questions. 1. How significant, using numbers, is the homeless problem in your city? 2. Has the number of homeless people in your city increased or decreased during the last 5 years? Is there a consistency in the homeless population in your city, or have you observed a change in the makeup of the homeless population in terms of the number of single adults, couples, and children in families? 3. Does the city have an Emergency Preparedness Plan that includes providing services to homeless people during extreme temperature events (very low or high temperatures), and /or severe rainstorms? If so, could you provide us with a copy of this plan? 4. Does the city currently provide shelters for the homeless during times of extreme temperature events and rainstorms? If so, how many shelters does the city provide, where are they located, and during what hours are they open? Are cots or other sleeping facilities provided? Is food provided, and if so by whom? Are toilet and washing facilities, including showers, provided at the shelters? 5. After the need for short -term shelters has passed, does the city provide any service, either directly or indirectly, to aid the homeless as they leave the shelter to find transitional or permanent housing? 6. Is there anything else you'd like to tell us to better understand your city's preparation and response to the need for homeless people to have shelter during extreme temperature events and rainstorms? 2015 -2016 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY INTERIM REPORT 9 Attachment B City of Rosemead 1 432202 X 3 0 2 2 482304a X 1 0 0 3 432902a X 0 0 0 4 482401 X 5 0 0 5 482303 X 0 0 1 6 433602 X 0 0 0 7 482402 X 1 0 0 8 432902b X 0 0 0 9 482503a 2 0 2 10 482503b 0 0 1 11 481300b 0 0 0 12 432901 2 0 0 13 433601 0 0 1 14 432201 3 0 1 15 482304b X 0 0 1 16 481300a 0 0 0 17 482502A 5 0 0 18 4825026 1 0 0 23 0 < 9 CITY OF ROSEMEAD Attachment C 8838 E.

Our Resource Center is located in Rosemead on the grounds of Evergreen Baptist Church of LA. Our overnight accommodations are provided by the host network consisting of congregations in San Gabriel, Rosemead, Monterey Park, Alhambra, South Pasadena, Pasadena, Altadena , Arcadia and Sierra Madre. Each congregation is assigned one week four to five times per year to host families in their facility. The families are transported each evening to the host congregation where they are greeted by volunteers, have dinner together and sleep overnight inside the church. In the morning our van returns the families to the Resource Center. This process is repeated every night for one week at the host congregation approximately 4 to 5 times /year. At the end of each week, the families move to another host congregation. What is the purpose of the mission? Family Promise SGV keeps mothers, fathers and children together at the time they are experiencing homelessness. Our purpose is to provide hospitality, safety and compassionate care and support in a secure "home" environment. Family Promise SGV is a nonprofit 501©3 organization that relies on the support of congregations to meet the needs and minister to these vulnerable families. This program offers the host volunteers an opportunity to live out their faith by sharing love, comfort and hope with the families while at the same time learning first hand about homelessness and breaking down stereotypes. The volunteers from the host and support congregations minister to these families at a time when they are especially vulnerable and under stress. The compassion and kindness of the volunteers provides comfort and hope for them as they struggle to regain their equilibrium. And our families often comment on how surprised they are at the outpouring of love and kindness from the church volunteers. Consider the story of Joey and Maria: Joey and Maria (who was pregnant at the time) came to Family Promise with their 7 year old son and 11 month old daughter after ending up homeless. They had been sleeping in the park with Joey staying awake all night to watch over his family. They were provided warmth and hospitality in the host congregations, one of which was Mission Valley FMC. At the Resource Center they received case management services, transportation to Maria's doctor appointments, and counseling. Joseph, their 7 year old, attended school near the Resource Center and Joey walked him to school each morning. Joey shared his appreciation for the mens' ministry at one of the congregations that prayed with him to relieve his anxiety. When Joey got hired through a staffing agency, a volunteer from Mission Valley provided him with a bicycle and helmet so he could ride home at 3am each night. Family Promise helped him negotiate with a landlord and Joey managed to land an apartment for his family. When he got another job, he found that he could not get transportation home, so Family Promise picked him up from work at 2am and transported him to his apartment. One night we ended up driving Maria to the hospital to deliver her baby. Later Joey was hired by one of the companies and got a raise. He now has medical, dental and life insurance coverage for his entire family, and he is expecting another raise with his performance evaluation next month. Joey and Maria are very grateful for the help they received from the host congregations. This is just an example of the impact of so many caring people ministering to families in need. The mission of Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley is to help homeless children and their families stay intact and regain stable housing and employment within a supportive, volunteer- driven community. Family Promise began with a few interested people meeting together wanting to do something to address the needs of homeless families. As we met and learned about Family Promise from their national representatives, we began to organize to address homeless families in SGV. Committees were formed to do Host Recruitment, Day /Resource Center Planning, & Fund Development. Community meetings were held on several occasions to inform and recruit community volunteers. In 2009 Family Promise was incorporated as a 501©3 nonprofit. By the end of 2011, Family Promise opened for service to families. The first 3 families were admitted to the program in December 2011. As of March 17, 2014, we have served 41 families (50 adults and 77 children). Of the 77 children 29 were under the age of 5 years, and 3 children were born while in our program. 25 families have successfully graduated from the program with 11 families going into transitional housing, 11 going into permanent housing and 3 going into longer term shelter. 2011 -2012 The first milestone was opening the Resource Center and beginning to host families. 2013: The committee that was host recruitment evolved into the Network Partners Team with a focus not only on recruiting congregations to be hosts or support congregations, but to help congregations remain engaged in the network. The fundraising committee expanded and planned events as well as Club 360 expansion. The Day Center committee dissolved and responsibility for the Resource Center transferred to the Network Director. 2014: The focus is on Board development as a priority. Governance and fiscal responsibility are primary roles of the Board, so efforts are on board recruitment, board orientation /training and board effectiveness. The fund development responsibility is also a priority at this time. 2015: Goal is to hire a network director and formalize roles and responsibilities. State the Agency's mission, goals and major objectives, hi addition, describe programs designed to meet goals and objectives. Attach any recent evaluations of programs or needs assessments. Missions Statement: The mission of Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley is to help homeless children and their families regain stable housing and employment within a supportive volunteer - driven community.

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 14.218 CFDA Title: Community Development Block Grants /Entitlement Grants 3 2014 -2015 Case Examples Case #1 A woman with a 6 year old child were admitted to the Family Promise Program. She was pregnant and had been living in a Rosemead motel. She received a small cash grant from Calworks and food stamps, but it was not enough to sustain them in motel living. There are not many shelters that will admit a person late in her pregnancy or with another child. But we are able to do so, keeping the family intact. The parent was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during her stay. She was supported and encouraged to comply with diabetes regimen (insulin injections and diet). Her daughter was able to remain in her original school. The parent was also provided with counseling and bereavement support due to the loss of her mother just prior to their admission to Family Promise. A healthy baby girl was born while the family was being cared for in Family Promise. Once the mother was adjusted and recovered from her surgery, we were able to refer her and get her accepted into a transitional housing program (she will be able to stay there 4 to 6 months rent free). She is currently stable and seeking employment. Case #2 Family Promise admitted a 2 parent family with a 7 year old boy and a 23 month old girl. The family had been living in a Rosemead,motel and had run out of money and went to skid row for a short stay. Upon admission to our program, the family had active involvement with Department of Children and Family Services and the boy had behavioral problems at school. Family Promise provided counseling for the couple, parenting classes, and collaborated with DCFS around services for the family. We supported the parents in obtaining outside counseling services as well. The father began working and has continued to be successful on the job. The family was able to save money sufficient to obtain permanent rental housing. They now currently reside in Rosemead in an apartment, the father is employed fulltime, the son continues in his school and is doing well, and the mother is preparing to take her DMV commercial license exam so she can be hired by Family Promise as a part time driver. q\ \/ a \\ /? k §§ « 2§ ¥ /\ §a §§ 2� §� /B A/ \� /\ z (; \\ j/ \] /) \§ )) )\ � \ \^ k/ )( a±/ \ ? e 2 \j§\/ � °Bt C D § m*0 �/ ®]\ ] a(4 \® \»w22 \t) ® `\ \ / G/ )% E/ ) �) , ] ) \ ) / } ) ) ) \ \ \ \ \ ) (; \\ j/ \] /) \§ )) )\ � \ \^ k/ )( Family Promise of San Gabriel VallE, Budget: Calendar Year 2015 2014 2015 Projected Budget Ordinary Income /Expense Income Contributed support Civic Organizations 7,468 9,000 Club 360 29,978 36,000 Congregations 25,205 30,000 Government Grants 10,201 32,500 Individuals 8,431 10,000 Total Contributed support 81,283 117,500 Fundraising Events Empty Bowls 9,932 15,000 Major Event 7,009 10,000 Small Fund Raisers 1,828 2,700 Total Fundraising Events 18,76 27,70 Total Income 100,052 145,200 Expense 66 400 Business expenses Depreciation & amortization exp 2,522 2,500 Fund Development 3,208 3,900 Guest Families 2,767 2,000 Insurance 5,572 6,600 Misc expenses /Fees for services 2,699 2,000 Non - personnel expenses /Operations 5,353 5,500 Occupancy expenses 8,027 8,000 Other personnel expenses 1,266 1,700 Salaries Expense Payroll taxes 2,963 10,400 Salaries- Exempt 0 56,250 Salaries -Non Exempt 23,478 26,000 Employee Benefits - Exempt 0 14,500 Total Salaries Expense 26,441 107,150 Transportation 5,039 5,000 Travel & meetings expenses 0 450 Total Expense 62,961 145,200 Net Income 37,091 0 PROGRAM REVENUE Use Whole Dollars Only Please explain Changes Greater than 15% between FY 2013 -14 and FY 2014 -15 and/or FY 2014 -15 and FY 2015 -16.

Staff services these inquiries with much sensitivity, as each of the situations presented vary from necessity, family size, to simply specialized requests for assistance. Each request is met by staff with a customized approach to ensure we provide great care and proper support to each homeless person(s). Some examples of homeless person(s) that have been helped through staff efforts; is that of a young woman who came to City Hall requesting information for shelters specifically with case management that could help her with her drug addiction. Staff provided her with a list of shelters with case management and put her in direct contact with a case worker. This was achieved by placing numerous phone calls to different homeless shelters and nonprofits that were able to provide the services requested. Likewise, the case of a homeless woman with a teenage boy who left her home due to an abusive spouse; one of the challenges staff faced was keeping the teenage boy and his mother together, as many of the shelters do not accept males once they have reached a certain age. After numerous phone calls to different agencies staff was able to provide them contact information to temporary motel) vouchers until room became available at a center for abused women. Another case that staff provided much care is the case of Ms. Armendariz and her family of six children who lost their mobile home unit due to a fire. Staff provided a list of shelters, support services and assisted with the City's Owner Occupied Rehabilitation application. Unfortunately, the mobile home was never registered with the State of California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD). Therefore, the mobile home unit did not exist and could not be assisted through the Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Program. Staff spent a considerable amount of time physically canvassing mobile home parks within the City available for sale or rent, searched internet listings, and contacted several shelters, nonprofit organizations, churches, local retailers seeking any form assistance. Ultimately, staff was able to secure assistance from People for People, Wal -Mart, and Christ's Church of the Valley located in San Dimas, which generously offered temporary housing at the Red Roof in San Dimas. Staff took care of driving the family to San Dimas as the family did not have transportation. These are only some examples where staff has surpassed expectation and more than adequately shown they are accessible and always ready to offer assistance to the community. The City of Rosemead contracts with Family Promises which facilitates professional services in public services. Family Promise's mission is to help homeless children and their families regain stable housing, warm food and employment with supportive services and case management. Staff is also equipped with a list of homeless supportive services organizations as well as access to other services available.
