BACKGROUND
The City of Rosemead is a federal entitlement grant recipient of Community Development Block
Grant and HOME Investment Partnership funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). As part of the process to receive funding, the City must undertake
development of a Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. It is called a Consolidated Plan
because it consolidates the application process for HUD's four (4) entitlement grants into one
consolidated plan and application. The four grants arc: CDBG, HOME, Housing Opportunities
for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). All four grants are
driven by an entitlement formula process set by the federal government. The City is eligible to
participate in two (2) of these programs: CDBG and HOME.
In order to receive the FY 2018-19 allocations, the City must comply with the following
requirements of the Consolidated Plan final rule regarding pre-submission requirements:
Fulfill citizen participation requirements by conducting a public hearing to receive
citizen input regarding annual funding needs;
Publish a Draft Plan and Annual Action Plan for a I5-day comment period in order to
receive citizen input regarding the final document; and
Conduct a public hearing adopting the final Plan and the Annual Action Plan.
The Annual Action Plan is a part of the Consolidated Plan, which takes all HUD requirements
regarding planning, needs analysis, reporting, budgeting, citizen participation and certifications
and incorporates them into one process. The full Consolidated Plan must be completed once
every five(5) years and the Annual Action Plan must be completed annually.
ANALYSIS
After much deliberation and thought, it is being proposed that the activities shown in Attachment
A" be funded under the CDBG and HOME programs and included in the City's Annual Action
Plan for the FY 2017-18.
City Council Meeting
June 12,2018

CDBG Program
In reviewing the CDBG recommendations it would be appropriate for the City Council to
remember that only three broad funding categories are considered eligible under CDBG-
regulations. A project must either provide benefits to low or moderate-income persons,
eliminate slum or blighted conditions, or satisfies an urgent need. In addition, of the CDBG
funds received, no more than 15% ($116,250) of the annual grant amount plus anticipated
program income can be used for social service activities, no more than 20% ($132,803) of the
grant amount plus anticipated program income can be used for Planning and Administrative
services, and, at least, 70%of all funds must be used for low-to-moderate income activities.
It should be noted that there were no new public service funding requests submitted for the FY
2017-18. Out of the three existing social service organizations already receiving funding, two of
the organizations (Family Counseling Services and Morrison Management Services - Senior
Nutrition Program) have requested the same level of funding as approved in the current fiscal
year. Family Promises requested a$500 increase brining there total requested amount to $5,500.
While this is a worthwhile organization that provides a service required under the CDBG
program, the current funding amount of $5,000 is adequate for the level of service the City is
receiving. In addition, there was also one social service organization that qualifies under the
Planning and Administrative services cap (Southern California Housing Rights Center). This
organization requested the same level of funding as approved in the current fiscal year. It would
be appropriate to continue to support all public service agencies at their current level of funding.
HOME Program
In reviewing the HOME funds recommendations, it would be appropriate for the City Council to
remember that no more than 10% ($34,683) can be used for administrative and program delivery
activities. At least 15% ($52,026) must be set aside for CHDO, as constituted under the
regulations. In addition, up to 5% ($17,342) can be used by a CHDO for operating expenses.
The balance of funds can only be used for housing activities.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Each year between May and July, the City of Rosemead submits an Annual Action Plan (“Action Plan”)
covering the period July 1st of that year through June 30th of the following year to the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). An Action Plan is required by HUD in order for the City to
receive federal funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnership (HOME) programs. The Action Plan includes the proposed activities, resources and
expenditures for the CDBG and HOME programs. This is the second out of five Action Plans under the
City’s 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan.
A more general summary of each project and each amount the City is proposing in the FY 2018-19 can be
found under section AP-20 Annual Goals and Objectives. In general, the City will continue to carry out
program administration, fair housing, residential programs, and public services that aid youth, at-risk
families, seniors, and the disabled. In addition, the City will continue to use a portion of CDBG funds for
its code enforcement program, which will principally take place in the City’s adopted target/revitalization
areas.
2.Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to
another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs
assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.
The strategies and projects outlined in this plan are intended to benefit low and moderate- income
residents, improve distressed and blighted neighborhoods with high concentrations of low and moderate-
income residents and positively impact the city as a whole. These Strategies will be coordinated with
other federal and state grant programs and local initiatives to meet the objectives outlined in the plan.
The Annual Plan will focus on goals established in the Five-Year 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan Strategies
(CPS).
During the development of the Annual Action Plan, the City sought input from residents to identify and
prioritize the various community needs. Furthermore, the City consulted with local public and private
service providers to assess the housing and community development needs of low to moderate-income
households and special needs households. The City consulted with the Housing Authority of the County
of Los Angeles and nonprofit organizations to determine funding needs for housing and services for
homeless persons, low to moderate-income persons, and low income neighborhoods.

2018

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Priority areas of need as determined from public participation and research for the Consolidated Plan
include:
•Preserve the City’s existing affordable housing stock for Low and Moderate Incomes (0 to 80% of
MFI)
•Promote, Increase, Maintain Homeownership for Low and Moderate-Income Households
•Provide Safe, Affordable, Decent Housing for Renters with Low and Moderate Incomes
•Provide Transitional & Permanent Supportive Services for Homeless Persons
•Provide Supportive Services for Non-Homeless Persons with Special Needs
•Promote Fair Housing Among all Income Persons
3.Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or
projects.
The City of Rosemead is near the end of its 3rd year of the 2015-2019 Five-Year Consolidated Plan. Each
year the City’s Community Development Department prepares a Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report (CAPER) to report the progress of the Consolidated Plan goals. Attached to the CAPER
are project reports that show progress on goals established in the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan through
the end of the program year.
In carrying out its Annual Action Plan, the City of Rosemead has made considerable progress toward
meeting priority needs. Many of the activities performed contribute to stabilizing the City’s lower income
neighborhoods and improving living conditions for individual, low to moderate-income families.
Improvements to housing and public infrastructure improve the appearance of neighborhoods and create
a more appealing environment. New housing development and homeownership programs promote pride
in ownership and long term resident stability. Funding of non-profit facilities that serve the homeless and
other eligible recipients and neighborhoods help organizations better meet the needs of their
clients. Renovations were performed on owner-occupied housing eliminating blighted conditions. The
scope of the renovations varied depending on the program and households needs with improvements
ranging from health and safety improvements to full scale renovations. Homeownership opportunities
for low to moderate income persons remain a priority program for the City, however; because of
economic conditions, applications and completed projects have fluctuated over the years for the First
Time Homebuyer program. Housing, supportive services, and case management were provided to
homeless persons through several of the City’s subrecipients.

Additionally, emergency, transitional, and permanent support was provided based on client need. The
most recent past performance evaluation and reporting can be found in the FY 2016-17 Comprehensive
Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER). This report provides both summary and details of
resources, distribution and accomplishments for CDBG and HOME funded programs.
4.Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process
Summary from citizen participation section of plan.
Consultation with both public and private organizations that service residents of Rosemead by either
providing shelter/housing; own and manage housing for low income seniors and families; build housing
for low income seniors and families; and/or provide some type of services to populations with special
needs (i.e. elderly, homeless, disabled, etc.) has been an ongoing process since the development of the
original Consolidated Plan. Organizations receiving direct CDBG funding have been in regular contact with
City staff. Other organizations are consulted on an as needed basis, are invited to comment of the draft
Plan, or have been present at various public hearings held by the City.
The City conducted two public hearings. The first public hearing focuses on performance and the needs
of the community as they relate to housing, homelessness, and community development needs such as
infrastructure, improvement and public services. This hearing took place before the Rosemead City
Council on February 13, 2018 at Rosemead City Hall. The second public hearing provides citizens with an
opportunity to comment on the draft Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan. This hearing took
place in front of the Rosemead City Council on June 12, 2018 at Rosemead City Hall. Minutes of these

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
The City will continue to use state and local funds to leverage federal entitlement dollars, including but not limited to:
• City General Funds (Code Enforcement & Senior Nutrition Services)
• In-kind Donations
• State CalHome Fund (OOR Rehabilitation Loan Program)
Also, the following service providers budgeted additional federal and non-federal funds to their activities through funding from other cities, in-
kind donations, United Way and other charitable organizations, and the Federal and State governments:
• Family Counseling Services
• Family Promise

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
• Morrison Health Care (Senior Nutrition Provider)
• Southern California Housing Rights Center
In 2017-18, the City was a 50% HOME match reduction community and was required to provide a 12.5% match of non-federal funds towards
eligible disbursements completed during that FY. It is assumed that the City will continue to be a 50% HOME match reduction community in FY
2018-19, and; therefore, still be subject to the 12.5% match requirement.

Table 7 - Project Information Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The City of Rosemead faces a number of potential obstacles in meeting affordable housing and community
development needs and underserved needs through the CDBG and HOME program which includes lack of
affordable land for housing development, funding constraints to address community development needs,
and continued reductions for CDBG, HOME, and other federal funding sources in each fiscal year.
Annual Action Plan

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The City will continue to look for non-traditional ways to develop affordable housing units and meet
community development needs; work to combine funding sources and leverage private funds to develop
affordable housing; and, to work with the federal government to ensure that sufficient funding continues
in order to meet needs.

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
In order 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.
The only exception to this policy is the Code Enforcement activity which is limited to eligible low and
moderate-income block groups based on an official designation of deteriorating and/or deteriorated
areas and are referred to as an area benefit activity.
An area benefit is an activity that meets the identified needs of low and moderate-income persons
residing in an area where at least 51% of the residents are low and moderate-income persons. The
benefits of this type of activity are available to all persons in the area regardless of income. Potentially
eligible activities include street improvements, façade improvements in neighborhood commercial
districts, graffiti removal, and code enforcement.
The new Low and Moderate-Income Summary Data (LMISD), resulting from the 2000 Census, became
effective on July 1, 2003. The LMISD is the data that the City uses for our official determinations of activity
compliance with the low and moderate-income area benefit national objective, in accordance with the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and the CDBG regulations.
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
Annual Action Plan, the City Council approves the service area boundaries (shown in Appendix C) as the
City's official low and moderate-income "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 low and moderate-income 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
12 of 104

these target areas, the City will continue to target CDBG resources to these special geographic areas.

Introduction
The demand for affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households in Rosemead has been
persistent, as the analyses in the Consolidated Plan have demonstrated. The City established maintenance
of affordable housing as a high priority need, and established a goal of rehabilitating 50 owner-occupied

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
There are no public housing projects in the City. The City works with the Housing Authority of the County
of Los Angeles who provides rental assistance to the residents of Rosemead through the Federal 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 the average wait from seven to ten years, if not longer. Each applicant is selected from
the waiting list in sequence, based upon date of preliminary application and Voucher availability. As
shown below, there are four (4) housing developments that have received mortgage assistance with the
help of Federal, State, or local funds.
Angelus Senior Apartments - The Angelus Senior Apartment was completed in 1995 and is owned by the
Rosemead Housing Development Corporation. It consists of 51 one-bedroom units. The term of the lease

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
Given the limited resources and small amount of homeless in the City of Rosemead, homeless activities
have been given a low priority in the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan and subsequent annual action plans.
The City is relying on coordinated efforts with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) to
provide shelter opportunities; the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless to provide
information, counseling, and referral services to homeless persons that reside in Rosemead, 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.
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.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City provides an annual allocation of CDBG funds toward the operation of Family Promise of San
Gabriel Valley, a homeless shelter for families with children. This year the City expects this investment of
CDBG funds will benefit 5 families. The City will also work with LAHSA and the East San Gabriel Valley
Coalition for the Homeless to address emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless
persons.
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, the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition

for the Homeless, 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.
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 who provide emergency food, clothing, and referral services to low-income Rosemead residents;
many of which are homeless or at-risk of homelessness.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
See discussion below.
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
The City of Rosemead is committed to addressing the negative effects of public policies over which it has
control. In order 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.
Over the years, Rosemead has demonstrated a willingness to encourage housing development of all
types. It has approved several zone changes and Code amendments to allow for development of a variety
of housing types, including those that benefit low and moderate-income people. It also makes an effort
to fast-track projects and process permits in a timely manner. The City maintains its current posture of
openness and willingness to entertain new ideas and eliminate any regulatory barriers under its control
in the provision of a variety of housing to meet the needs of all income groups.
In addition, the City continues to work cooperatively within existing legislatively mandated constraints
and worked to develop and/or encourage public policies that foster further affordable housing
development and assistance.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
The City of Rosemead plans to undertake additional actions throughout to further address obstacles to
meeting underserved needs, fostering and maintaining affordable housing, reducing the number of
poverty level families, and removing barriers to affordable housing.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City of Rosemead faces a number of potential obstacles in meeting affordable housing and community
development needs and underserved needs through the CDBG and HOME program which includes lack of
affordable land for housing development, funding constraints to address community development needs,
and continued reductions for CDBG, HOME, and other federal funding sources in each fiscal year.
The City will continue to look for non-traditional ways to develop affordable housing units and meet
community development needs; work to combine funding sources and leverage private funds to develop
affordable housing; and, to work with the federal government to ensure that sufficient funding continues
in order to meet needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City of Rosemead will foster and maintain affordable rental and owner-occupied housing through the
different programs funded with CDBG and HOME funds. Successful implementation of these efforts relies
on the collaborative effort of many community partners including public agencies, government, housing
developers, non-profit agencies, and neighborhoods. The City will use its own City newsletter and
website, as well as community events to promote these services, and to promote its housing and
community service programs.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As of FY 2001-02, the City of Rosemead began implementing the new HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations
(Title X), which requires all federally assisted housing programs, including rehabilitation, homeownership,
and tenant-based subsidy systems, to address lead hazards.
The City will continue its program of education and eradication of lead-based paint through the operation
of its Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs and Down Payment Assistance Loan Program. These two
programs provided assistance to low-income homeowners; the target groups most likely to be living in
20 of 104
FY 2018 – 2019 Annual Action Plan
Public Works Department Annual Action Plan
City of Rosemead FY 2018-2019
older housing with lead-based paint.
The City has procured 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
• Post-hazard reduction clearance test.
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 prior to 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 Grants Specialist to ensure that properties constructed prior to 1978 meet the
lead-based paint requirements and any abatement of defective paint surfaces are completed by
contractors certified by the State of California Department of Health Services. A copy of the contractor's
certification is kept on file.
The Down Payment Assistance Loan Program will also provide participants with oral and written
information regarding the dangers of lead-based paint. The selected units will undergo a Housing Quality
Standards (HQS) inspection that checks for danger of lead-based paint and will require any peeling,
cracking, flaking, paint and/or chewable surfaces to be properly treated. The City personnel responsible
for conducting the visual inspection of the units for HQS compliance have completed the Visual
Assessment Course and received the proper course completion certification.
In addition, the City requires clearance for all properties that fail an HQS inspection due to chipping,
peeling, cracking surfaces greater than 2 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) plans to live in a

unit under the Down Payment Assistance Loan Program.
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
• Angelus/Garvey Senior Housing – rental assistance for seniors
• Dial-A-Ride - transportation service for seniors and disabled
• Down Payment Assistance Program – purchase of first home
• Fair Housing Services - landlord/tenant information and assistance
• Family Counseling – counseling services for youth and their families
• 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
and referral services
• Housing Authority County of Los Angeles County – rental assistance
• Merci - supported employment and living, independent living, and community inclusion services
for those with severe to profound developmental disabilities
• Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs - rehabilitation of home
• Senior Nutrition Program - nutritious meals
• Vintage California Mission Inn - assisted living facility for seniors and disabled
• YMCA of West San Gabriel Valley – variety of services including child care, 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
Economic Development - The City provides supported activities that promote economic development
including the Business Attraction/Retention Program. Through this program, the City attracts new
businesses as well as retaining the current businesses within Rosemead.
Low Income Housing Tax Credit Coordination (LIHTC) - Currently, the City uses CDBG funds and HOME
funds for affordable housing development. The City has participated in one tax credit development
project. The City has a HOME-funded development fund. As part of that, there may be additional
22 of 104
FY 2018 – 2019 Annual Action Plan
Public Works Department Annual Action Plan
City of Rosemead FY 2018-2019
opportunities to use the Low Income Housing Tax Credit funds. In order to coordinate and assess the
need of tax credits for the development of a housing project, the Housing Division staff will work with
developers and non-profit agency’s 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.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of Rosemead is governed by a five-member City Council. The City Council reviews, holds hearings,
approves the funding priorities, and approves the submission of the Action Plan to HUD. The City’s
Community Development Department is the lead agency in the coordination of the Action Plan. It
coordinates the economic activities, develops and implements the programs that rehabilitate and
preserve the neighborhoods, develops and rehabilitates affordable housing, and provides rental
assistance to the very low-income and special-needs segments of the City's population.
While the Community Development Department has the major responsibility for the Action Plan
budgeting, project formulation, and program implementation, other City departments, government
agencies, social service agencies, and Rosemead residents play an important role. There are several inter-
departmental programs, primarily in the area of neighborhood quality of life that are composed of a wide
variety of City agencies. All are funded through the CDBG or HOME as a funding source; but in many cases,
departmental funds and other funding augment and leverage Action Plan Resources. Guidelines for
expenditure of CDBG and HOME funds are provided as needed or when changes to programs occur.
Periodically, the Community Development Department provides departments and City-related agencies
with training in HUD grant regulations.
There are many organizations that actively collaborate in the areas of housing, homeless services, and
community and economic development, and coordinate closely in both the preparation and
implementation of the Action Plan. The City, for its part, will promote and encourage fair housing, housing
assistance, and single-family home rehabilitation.
One of the biggest challenges facing the City is the lack of or ever-decreasing amount of funds available
in maintaining and furthering housing and community development goals. In addition, foundation giving
is declining. A related challenge is the need for better coordination and cooperation between the City and
social service and health providers. For homeless activities, a seamless approach to provision of
transitional and permanent housing services requires that such providers be actively involved in each facet
of the Continuum of Care. However, other housing activities, such as rehabilitation, demolition of
abandoned or hazardous units, acquisition of sites for potential single family and multifamily affordable
23 of 104
FY 2018 – 2019 Annual Action Plan
Public Works Department Annual Action Plan
City of Rosemead FY 2018-2019
housing, home ownership assistance, and new construction need to be integrated within the social service
and health provider community as well.
The key to a strong institutional structure is the ability to develop and share data on the progress and
status of beneficiaries through the development of integrated information systems. There are now several
data information systems in place that, to various degrees, track the progress of a variety of beneficiaries
from initial intake, through provision of services, and to completion of participation
Institutions playing a major role in delivery of community development programs often have different
mandates, and consequently different priorities and strategies to achieve them. These mandates are most
often imposed by Congress, and reflected through the regulations of federal funding agencies. In several
cases, goals may overlap or conflict.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City will carry out this Action Plan through various organizations including a number of social service
agencies funded through CDBG grant funds (the Family Counseling Services, Family Promise, Morrison
Health Care - Senior Nutrition Provider, and Southern California Housing Rights). In addition, various City
departments will work together to achieve the goals of this Action Plan, including the Community
Development Department (Code Enforcement Division) and the Housing Services Division (Owner-
Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Programs).
The City also works with the State, other local governments (County of Los Angeles), private industry
construction contractors, non-profit organizations and social service providers to provide community,
housing, and social service programs and projects. The City is committed to extend and strengthen
partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and non-profit
organizations. The means of cooperation and coordination with these various groups will continue to
enhance the services provided to our residents.
Discussion:
While the primary actors in the Action Plan process is the City Council, and the Community Development
Department, there are a significant number of City agencies and departments that oversee a wide variety
of grants and programs that provide services to low and moderate-income City residents, and play an

HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2)
1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as
follows:
The City of Rosemead does not use atypical loans or grant instruments of non-conforming loan
guarantees.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for
homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
HOME regulation 24 CFR 92.254, Section (B)(ii) requires that the participating jurisdiction recoups all
or a portion of the HOME assistance to the homebuyers if the housing does not continue to be the
“principal residence” of the family for the duration for the period of affordability, which is 15 years. In
accordance with the requirement, the City of Rosemead has adopted the policy of repayment (also
known as “recapture”) of HOME funds lent (i.e. direct subsidy - which is defined as the amount of
HOME assistance provided that enable the homebuyer to buy the unit). The City limits the amount
to be recaptured to the net proceeds available from the sale. The net proceeds are the sales price
minus loan repayment (not including HOME funds) and closing costs. This limitation applies to all
units regardless of the nature of the sale (voluntary sales including short sales, and involuntary sales
including foreclosures), or if the unit is found not to be the “principal residence” of the applicant. If
the home is sold or is not the “principal residence” of the applicant during the first 10 years of the 15-
year affordability period, the City will charge an interest rate (simple interest) penalty to be collected
along with the principal amount of HOME funds based on the amount of HOME funds. This will be
limited to net proceeds. This interest rate penalty, which is at 5% during the first two years and
declines by a ½ percent every full year after is calculated as follows: Program loan x applicable interest
rate (which is based on year of sale/year the unit was no longer the applicants “primary
resident”). For example, if the home is sold in year 5, the interest rate would be calculated by
multiplying the program loan x 3%. If the HOME is sold a day after year 10 of the affordability period,
there would be no interest rate due to the City. In addition, if the home is sold or is not the “principal
resident” of the applicant before the end of the 15-year affordability period and there is appreciation
in the property value, then an equity share is required based on the following formula: Equity Share
formula: (Program Loan / (Purchase Price + Qualified Capital Improvements) x Total
Appreciation. This amount is the portion of the appreciation that must be provided to the City and
the remaining amount goes to the homeowner. If after 15 years, the housing is still the “principal
resident” of the applicant, then the covenant regarding the equity share will be removed. If at any

time the applicant ceases to occupy the home, then the loan will become due. Annually, each
applicant is sent a self-certification form that must be completed certifying the home continues to be
the applicants “primary resident”. In addition to this form, the applicant must provide proof of
residency (i.e. utility bill, car insurance, tax returns, etc.).</span></p>
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired
with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
See above.
4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is
rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that
will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:
N/A
The City of Rosemead proactivity advertises the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan program and First
Time Homebuyer program on its website (www.cityofrosemead.org), through the Parks and Recreation
brochure (which is published three times a year and mailed in the fall, winter/spring, and summer), press
releases, and marketing material that is available at Rosemead facilities open to the public. In
addition, Community Development staff works closely with Code Enforcement staff in making field visits
to homes that have a code, building, or health & safety violations. Applications for either program can be
accessed through the City's website or by visiting City Hall.
All Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan applications and First Time Homebuyer applications are
submitted to the City’s Community Development Department, Housing Division and placed on a waiting
list on a first-come, first-served basis. The waiting list is maintained by date. When funds become
available applicants are selected from the top of the waiting list. Each time a group of applications are
selected from the waiting list, processing priority will be given only under the Owner-Occupied
Rehabilitation Loan program to applicants who have been deemed by the Public Safety Department as
having code, building, or health & safety violations that require immediate assistance.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday, February 13, 2018, a public hearing will be held before
the Rosemead City Council for citizens input into the development of the City's Annual Action Plan for the
period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. The Annual Action Plan includes the proposed activities,
resources and expenditures for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnerships (HOME) programs. The City of Rosemead welcomes any recommendations, suggestions, or
other input on the City’s Fiscal Year 2018-19 Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan must be prepared
according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations. A copy of HUD's
final rule (issued January 5, 1995, Federal Register) is available upon request.
HUD requires an Annual Action Plan in order for the City to receive federal funds under the CDBG
and HOME programs. In past years, these monies has been used for a wide variety of activities, including
housing rehabilitation, commercial rehabilitation, code enforcement, graffiti removal and various capital
improvements including street improvements, curb cuts for the handicapped and park facilities.
Federal funding awards have not yet been announced for FY 2018-19. However, cuts to the CDBG
and HOME program appear to be an ongoing discussion by Congress each year. While the City has not
yet been notified of the grant amounts that will be available to meet identified needs within Rosemead
for the FY 2018-19, it is estimated that the City will receive decreases in its current $646,913 allocation of
CDBG funds and $234,004 allocation of HOME funds, but will not be certain until federal notification of
awards.
It should be noted that under the CDBG program eligible projects must either provide benefits to
low or moderate-income persons, eliminate slum or blighted conditions, or is an urgent need. In addition,
at least 70% or more of the FY 2018-19 entitlement total must be used for activities benefiting low and
moderate-income residents of Rosemead. Of the HOME funds received, funds can only be used for
housing activities benefiting low or moderate-income persons.
The City of Rosemead intends to provide reasonable accommodations in accordance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. If special accommodations are required, please call Michelle
Ramirez, Director of Public Works, at (626) 569-2158, at least 48 hours prior to the February 13, 2018

Rosemead welcomes any written recommendations, suggestions, or other input on the City’s Fiscal Year
2018-19 Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan must be prepared according to the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations. A copy of HUD's final rule (issued January 5, 1995,

improvements including street improvements, curb cuts for the handicapped and park facilities.
The City has been notified by HUD that Rosemead will be receiving $708,721 in CDBG funds for
FY 2018-19, which is an approximate 9.55% increase from its FY 2017-18 allocation, and $346,837 in HOME
funds, which is an approximate 48.22% increase from its FY 2017-18 allocation. When combined with
projected carryover funds and projected program income, the City anticipates having a total of $1,099,971
of CDBG funds available and $1,007,739 in HOME funds available for the 2018-19 year.
It should be noted that only three broad funding categories are considered eligible under CDBG-
regulations. A project must either provide benefits to low or moderate-income persons, eliminate slum
or blighted conditions, or is an urgent need. In addition, of the CDBG funds received, no more than 15%

The City of Rosemead plans to minimize displacement of persons as a result of CDBG and HOME
funded activities by concentrating the expenditure of these funds on activities that:
1. Involve housing rehabilitation moderate in nature, or
2. Include administrative and planning costs not accepting displacement.
However, understanding that certain projects undertaken with CDBG and HOME funds could
result in displacement, the City of Rosemead has developed a plan to assist persons actually displaced by
CDBG and HOME activities. This plan requires that the City provide replacement housing and relocation
assistance and benefits in conformance with Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974, as amended, and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies
Act of 1970, as amended. A copy of the plan is available for public inspection.
In addition, pursuant to Section 508 of the Act, the City of Rosemead has developed and is
following a detailed Citizen Participation Plan. A copy of the plan is available for public inspection.
In addition to Standard Form 424, the Annual Action Plan includes the appropriate Certifications.
NOTICE OF DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: Notice is hereby given that copies of the FY 2018-19 Annual Action
Plan will be available from May 14, 218 through June 12, 2018 at the City of Rosemead’s Public Works

FUNDING SOURCES AVAILABLE FOR USE: The City has been notified by HUD that
Rosemead will be receiving $708,721 in CDBG funds for FY 2018-19, which is an approximate 9.55%

CITY OF ROSEMEAD
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
(For all Federally Funded Grant Programs)
INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to Section 104(a)(3) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 as
amended, the City of Rosemead first adopted this Citizen Participation Plan in June of 1978
(previously revised in 1979, 1988, and 1991). By doing so, the City acknowledges the integral
role of citizen participation in the process of planning and development, and the execution of the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, and all other Federally Funded Grant
Programs.
This document outlines basic tenets of the citizen participation regulations and will remain in
effect throughout the implementation of the City's entitlement awards from the federal
government, or until these funds are completely exhausted.
The following details Rosemead's Citizen Participation Plan:
POLICY STATEMENT
It is the policy of the City of Rosemead to provide for full involvement by the community and its residents in the planning, development, implementation and evaluation of programs funded under
the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, including the Community Development Grant (CDBG) Program and HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME). CDBG is a federal entitlement grant that allows entitlement jurisdictions to undertake a variety of housing and community development programming for persons who are primarily low to moderate
income. The HOME program provides funding for a variety of affordable housing development and assistance.
This Citizen Participation Plan sets forth the procedures and guidelines to be implemented by the
City to provide for the continuing participation by the citizens of Rosemead. The City
acknowledges the need for, and the role, of citizen involvement, but also recognizes that the final
determination and responsibility for policy development rests with the City Council.
