After the meeting, Staff followed up with Family Promise on next year's service estimates and updated CDBG-CV3 carryover and is recommending a CDBG-CV3 allocation of$15,000 for FY 2021-2022. DISCUSSION Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley is a long-time social service partner with the City of Rosemead in helping families challenged with homelessness and low-income families achieve sustainable independence through a community-based approach. Historically, the City has assisted Family Promise annually with a $5,000 CDBG allocation as a Social Services activity. For FY 2020-2021, Family Promise assisted three Rosemead residents (to date) but the costs ' have increased due to COVID-19 and the need to shelter the residents off-site. The shelter and food costs to date are approximately $16,400. Family Promise anticipates that the FY 2021-2022 costs could be similar to this year. At the April 27, 2021 meeting, the Council directed staff to include $5,000 of CDBG-CV3 funding to support Family Promise (in addition to the proposed $5,000 of CDBG funds for a total of$10,000). Staff has followed up with Family Promise on the estimated activities and also updated the current Food Bank costs and anticipate a carryover balance to FY 2021-2022. Inasmuch, Staff is recommending to allocate $15,000 of CDBG-CV3 to Family Promise for FY 2021-2022 (in addition to the $5,000 of CDBG funds for a total of$20,000).

Introduction As a condition for the City of Rosemead (City) to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership(HOME)funds,the City must submit a five year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan)outlining the jurisdiction's housing and community development needs and priorities,and an Annual Action Plan identifying how the jurisdiction plans to allocate its US Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)funding allocations to address those priority needs.This report utilizes HUD's current standard template for producing the 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan directly within HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The strategies and projects outlined in the 2021-2022 Annual Action 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 in order to meet the objectives outlined in the plan.The Annual Action Plan will focus on goals established within the Five-Year 2020-2024 ConPlan-Strategic Plan. During the development of the Con Plan,the City solicited 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 Los Angeles County Development Authority (formally the Los Angeles County Development Commission) and nonprofit organizations to determine funding needs for housing and services for homeless persons, low- to moderate-income persons, and low-income neighborhoods. Priority areas of need as determined from public participation and research for the Con Plan include: 1. Preserve the City's existing affordable housing stock for low-and moderate-income households (LMI) in the 0 to 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) category; 2. Promote, increase, maintain homeownership for LMI households; 3. Provide safe, affordable,decent housing for LMI renters; 4. Assist with energy efficient improvements; 5. Provide supportive services for non-homeless persons with special needs; and 6. Promote fair housing among all income categories. 3. Evaluation of past performance The City of Rosemead continually strives to improve the performance of its operations. The City prepares the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation and Report (CAPER) annually, which documents progress toward meeting needs and achieving strategies established in the Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan. Through the monitoring of performance measures and sub-recipients,staff is able to identify operational improvements, resource allocation issues, and policy questions to be addressed in 3IPage the upcoming year. Overall,the City of Rosemead and its partners have been successful in implementing its fair housing program and housing projects established in the previous Annual Action Plan and the City foresees continued progress through the new Action Plan. For a more detailed summary of the City's evaluation of past performance, previous Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPER's) can be requested through the Management Services Department. 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The City launched a comprehensive outreach strategy to enhance and broaden citizen participation in the preparation of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The City informed the public that it was in the process of creating the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan and encouraged public participation by hosting public meetings in 2021. The City has undertaken diligent and good faith efforts to outreach to all segments of the community that may benefit from the CDBG,and HOME programs. Qualitative feedback collected through the community survey,and public hearings provided insight into priority needs in the community.Top needs identified via the survey were: • Affordable rental housing, energy-efficient home improvements, senior housing, housing for disabled, and homeownership down payment assistance ranked as extremely important; • Youth centers, and parks and recreation ranked as extremely important for most needed community facilities--followed by a neighborhood community center, senior centers, and having ADA accessibility to facilities; • The prevention of homelessness ranked as extremely important; • Community improvements including street and sidewalk improvements, street lighting, safe routes to school, and graffiti removal ranked as very important;and • After-school care, addressing neighborhood crime, and at-risk youth as well as park and recreation needs ranked as extremely important. Based on surveys received, housing discrimination had not been experienced by respondents, but believe that it may exist in their neighborhood for people of a different race, ethnicity, or disability. Respondents identified the cost of home maintenance and the lack of larger housing units as challenges; and felt that single-family homes are most needed in the City, followed by senior housing, and multi- family apartments. Lastly, the high cost of housing and rising land prices viewed most commonly as impediments. 5. Summary of public comments The Annual Action Plan was made available for public review from March 26, 2021 through April 27, 2021. The City prepared a notice announcing the Draft Action Plan was available for public review on the City's website and may be available at the Rosemead City Hall, if City Hall reopens. The notice was Wage published in the local newspaper. The notice also indicated the date,time,and location of the City Council public hearing for adoption of the Annual Action Plan and included: • The amount of CDBG/HOME assistance expected to be received during the plan duration; • The range of activities that are proposed under the Action Plan using CDBG and HOME funds. No written or oral comments were received. 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them No written comments or views were not accepted. 7. Summary The City of Rosemead's 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan reflects a unified vision to meet the identified needs of the community and provide benefits to low- and moderate-income individuals and families over the next five years, financial assistance and the support of the community will be directed toward the following areas: • Expand Fair Housing choice and access; • Expand affordable housing opportunities; • Maintain viable and efficient energy efficient housing and commercial areas; • Maintain safe and green neighborhoods; and • Provide vital public services. The above goals support the preservation of existing housing stock, creation of more affordable rental units, homelessness prevention activities, community facilities, safe and walkable streets, and enhance recreation opportunities—all the community needs resulting from the Con Plan survey. The City of Rosemead will continue to concentrate its resources for maximum impact and strive to address the needs, priorities,and goals identified in this 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. 5IPage AP-15 Expected Resources — 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction The Action Plan focuses on activities to be funded with the two federal entitlement grants—CDBG and HOME—administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (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 low-and moderate-income. There is a wide range of activities that are eligible under CDBG Programs. CDBG grantees are responsible for ensuring that each eligible activity meets one of three national objectives: • Benefiting low—and moderate—income 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$738,492 in PY 2021-2022 CDBG funds. In addition,the City has received$528,646 in CDBG-CV3 in PY 2020-2021 to assist residents impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 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. HOME is designed to create affordable housing to low-income households. The program was designed to reinforce several important values and principles of community development. The City is anticipating receiving approximately$337,512 in PY 2021-2022 HOME funds. The City proposes to use its HOME funds for the Residential/Rental Rehabilitation Program, develop affordable housing through acquisition/rehabilitation, down payment assistance, and for the general administration of the HOME Program.

Table 60—Expected Resources—Priority Table 7IPage 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 (Senior Nutrition Services and affordable housing projects) • In-kind Donations • Preserve the City's existing affordable housing stock for low-to moderate-income households (i.e. State CalHome Fund Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Program (OOR)— Emergency Grant, Grant& Rebate) 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: • Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP); • Senior Nutrition; • Family Promises of San Gabriel Valley; and • Fair Housing Services The City of Rosemead anticipates assisting two low- to moderate-income homeowners through the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program. Low-to moderate-income is defined as individuals or families whose household income is between 0 to 80 percent of the Median Family Income(MEI). If the City received additional funds to assist with the preparation, prevention or response to the COVID- 19 pandemic, the City will allocated these funds to activities already funded with the CDBG-CV funds or the City's activities under the current fiscal year. In addition to HOME to provide 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 low- to moderate-income households. A density bonus is allowed in development with five or more units,excluding density bonus units. 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 currently owns one parcel in the City and intends to use it to incentivize developers to address economic development needs.

Page 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 percent 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 low- and moderate-income block groups. Eligible activities in areas found to be low- and moderate-income block groups include street improvements, improvement to public facilities, and improvements to facilities for persons with special needs. The low- and moderate-income (LMI) area benefit national objective applies if the activities benefit all persons in a residential area where at least 51 percent 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 require major repair of building systems. The LMI residential areas in the City cover the very most northern part and the Garvey district in the southern half of the City, below Highway 10. The Garvey district is comprised primarily of residential land uses. Neighborhoods west of Walnut Grove Avenue on Garvey consist mostly of medium density residential with three smaller zones of low density residential. All residential east of Walnut Grove Avenue is 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. A new map has been developed with Low-and Moderate-Income Summary Data (LMISD), resulting from the 2010 Census,became effective. The LMISD is the data that the City uses for the 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. The City has traditionally used 80 percent 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 of 70 percent low/mod benefit level for CDBG activities).To continue to achieve this high ratio of low/mod benefit for its CDBG resources, and because of the compelling need to assist these target areas, the City will continue to direct CDBG resources to these special geographic areas. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Eligible Low-and Moderate-Income Block Groups 30 Community Wide 60 Table 65-Geographic Distribution 18 IPage 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.

The City of Rosemead believes the 203(b) limits provided by HUD, for Los Angeles County, understate housing prices in Rosemead. Therefore, staff performed its own analysis to determine the 95 percent 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, coops 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 within the City, a one-month reporting period must be used. If there are 250-499 sales per month, a two-month reporting 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 20 IPage number,the median is established by the price of the middle sale. If the total number os 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 FHA limits do not accurately reflect current actual home purchase prices for the area.Therefore, a local market survey was conducted for the City home sales for a three-month period using HDL data. This survey shows a median price of$670,000 in the City of Rosemead and a 95 percent median value price of$636,500 for Single Family homes and $561,450 for Condominium sales (see Home Sales data in Attachment A). 21 ! Page AP-60 Public Housing—91.220(h) Introduction There are no public-owned housing projects located in the City. LACDA provides rental assistance to the City residents through the Federal Section 8 Voucher program. The primary objective of this program is to assist low-income (0 to 50 percent 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 7 to 10 years, if not longer. Each applicant is selected from the waiting list in sequence, based upon date of preliminary application and Voucher availability. Although there are no public housing units, there are several affordable housing developments. The following four housing developments 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 is for 55 years from the effective date of the Development Agreement between the City of Rosemead and the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation or until February 7, 2050. To qualify for this complex, a person must be 62 years of age or older and must income qualify. The maximum income is 40 percent of the area median income adjusted for household size.The income limits are reviewed every year and are subject to change without prior notice. The risk of conversion will not be an issue during the next five years of the ConPlan. As mentioned earlier,the earliest possible conversion date for the Angeles Senior Apartment is February 7, 2050.

Two(2)3-Bedroom Single Family Homes During the FY 2007-2008 and FY 2010-2011, the City entered into agreements with RHCDC for the production of affordable housing using the 15 percent CHDO set-aside funding as required under the HOME entitlement grant. As a result,the City approved two separate 0 percent deferred payment loans funded by the HOME CHDO Set-Aside Fund to the Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation for the purchase of two 3-bedroom rental property in the City. Both properties are restricted as rental, property for low-to moderate-income households and are subject to a 55 year affordability covenant until May 2063 and March 2066, respectively. 22IPage Describe the number and physical condition of public housing units in the jurisdiction, including those that are participating in an approved Public Housing Agency Plan: The above dwelling units are privately owned however, because they are subsidized, individual dwelling units must be held to HUD standards for public units and inspection processes. The City works with the LACDA who provides rental assistance to City residents through the Federal Section 8 Voucher program. The primary objective of this program is to assist low-income (0 to 50 percent 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 7 to 10 years, if not longer. Each applicant is selected from the waiting list in sequence, based upon date of preliminary application and voucher availability. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing There is no action needed by the City. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership LACDA manages a resident engagement process with their public housing. However, there is no public housing in the City. If the PHA is designated as troubled,describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance This is not applicable to the City. Discussion See above discussion. 23IPage 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 lower priority in the 2020-2025 ConPlan 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 (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. Every year, LAHSA conducts a census of the homeless population through the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count. To understand the level of homelessness in the City, in January 2020, volunteers participated in the homeless count for Rosemead. The count reported 80 unsheltered persons. Out of which 42 were living on the street, 7 were living in cars, 8 were living in vans, 12 were living in campers or recreational vehicles (RVs), 2 were living in tents, and 9 were living in makeshift shelters. The number of homeless in 2019 has increased from the total count in 2018. The homeless count for the City of Rosemead in 2019 revealed 91 unsheltered and zero sheltered persons. City departments are familiar with available resources for homeless and to continue to look for opportunities to assist the homeless. 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 Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA).To facilitate regional coordination for homeless needs, Los Angeles County is divided into eight Service Planning Areas (SPAs), 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 (HIC) and a Point-in- Time (PIT) inventory of service projects within the Los Angeles Continuum of Care. The HIC 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 the homeless families with children located in the City of Rosemead. While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact number of homeless persons, results of the annual PIT survey conducted for 2020 were 80 homeless individuals.The PIT survey also indicated that none of the homeless persons accounted for were sheltered. 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 2019 PIT survey indicates that the homeless population is primarily male adults (25-54 years old) of Hispanic ethnicity with a smaller percentage of White individuals. While the population of males is the highest, a significant number(35.2 percent) of those counted are female. There is no data regarding the number of veterans and their families. In year one,the City intends to fund two public services organization including a fair housing provider and Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley. The fair housing provider will continue to provide the City with fair housing services as well as handle future housing discrimination cases. Family Promise located San Gabriel Boulevard, Rosemead provides food,shelter, and support services for homeless families. Counseling and 24 IPage homeless prevention services are provided for at-risk families. In 2018 Family Promise successfully found housing for 88 percent of its clients. In 2020-2021 Family Promise anticipates CDBG funding will assist 4 to 5 families. Outside of CDBG funding, the City also relies on El Monte Access Center, located several miles outside of Rosemead to provide intake/assessment services,case management, and transportation assistance for homeless individuals. 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. 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, 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. 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 City residents; many of which are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. ' Page e AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing—91.220(j) Introduction: 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 five years 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. 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. In February 2020,the City adopted the 2020 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Al).Through data analysis and community engagement activities the following barriers to fair housing were identified: • Low number of affordable housing units. • High housing land, construction and labor costs. • Lack of rent control/stabilization policies particularly for single parent households, persons with disabilities and seniors. • Salaries are stagnant compared to the rising cost of housing. • Lack of time or finances for increased education. • Safe crosswalks and guards on routes to school. • Access to the internet for school-age children. • Limited amount of recreation and open play areas and public spaces. • Lack of funding and knowledge about existing housing placement services, rental assistance, and rent deposit services/programs. • Lack of individual and local resources to maintain housing stock. • Lack of wrap-around services for families purchasing homes for the first time. • Expand local housing agencies'capacity for family placement services and to create more housing opportunities in the City. • Lack of implementation of local housing policies for affordable housing development. The final chapter of the Al discusses the ways and means the City can begin to remediate or reduce the barriers to affordable housing.The following goals were adopted: Goal 1: Create housing solutions for members of protected classes. Goal 2: Increase affordable housing opportunities. Goal 3: Support housing development initiatives that foster a collaborative approach between public/ private housing to maximize the leveraging of funds. Goal 4: Increase homeownership. Goal 5: Create public awareness of fair housing laws and affordable housing advocacy. Goal 6: Increase job training and employment opportunities. Discussion: See above discussion. 26 IPage AP 85 Other Actions—91.220(k) Introduction: 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 Al and affordable housing initiatives. The City strives to reduce homelessness, maintain existing housing stock, and stimulate economic growth by funding commercial facade rehabilitation programs. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City will continue to look at non-traditional ways to increase affordable housing to meet the needs of the homeless, low- and moderate-income renters who want to purchase homes, and develop new opportunities for residential development.The City will continue to combine funding sources and leverage private funds that can assist in the ConPlan's priority needs and goals. 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 • 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. 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. 27 ' Page 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 existing within the City providing for the daily needs of residents. • Angelus/Garvey Senior Housing—rental assistance for seniors • Dial-A-Ride—transportation service for seniors and disabled • Fair Housing Services—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 and referral services • Senior Nutrition Program—nutritious meals • LACDA—rental assistance • Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs—rehabilitation of home • Vintage California Mission Inn—assisted living facility for seniors and 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 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 the City. The City has also rolled out a Commercial Façade Improvement Program that will provide low interest loans for exterior building improvements. Creating attractive and energy efficient storefronts is a priority need in the City. The City is also assisting businesses that have been impacted by the COVID-10 pandemic. 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 participated in one tax credit development project. 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 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's 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 the continued coordination with the Continuum of Care 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 28IPage assistance available to residents is an ongoing and time-consuming task that requires a large number of City staff.Creating an institutional structure that has the ability to 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 support 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 2021-2022 AAP through its various organizations including Family Promise, Senior Nutrition Provider,and the fair housing provider. In addition,City departments must worktogether 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.

NC0 ORATED,,o9 TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER j:/) ‘,/k DATE: April 27,2021 SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVAL OF THE 2021-2022 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AS REQUIRED BY THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG), HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS (HOME), AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT—CORONAVIRUS (CDBG-CV)PROGRAMS SUMMARY The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides funding to states, counties and cities in the form of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds. Since the City of Rosemead is an Entitlement City, the City is eligible to receive both CDBG and HOME funds which it has for many years. Before Rosemead can receive these funds, federal regulations require that a Consolidated Plan (i.e., five-year plan) be adopted by the City that serves as the federal planning document for those jurisdictions receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program funds. The Consolidated Plan was adopted by the City Council in 2020. In addition, federal regulations also require the adoption of an Annual Action Plan to the Consolidated Plan that operates on a single program year established by the City (i.e.,July 1,2021 through June 30,2022). As required by federal requirements,the City will submit its One Year Annual Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)by May 15,2021. The City of Rosemead views the Annual Action Plan requirements as an opportunity to reassess its housing needs and priorities, as well as its programs and resources in a manner that will best meet the affordable housing and community development challenges of the Rosemead community. The estimated City entitlement for FY 2021-21 is $738,492 in CDBG funding and $337,512 in HOME funding. 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 be an urgent need. In I addition, at least 70 percent or more of the FY 2021-22 entitlement total must be used for AGENDA 1'1'EM 3.A City Council Meeting April 27,2021 Page2of5 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. As a recipient of Community Block Development Grant (CDBG) funds, the City of Rosemead is eligible to receive $528,646 in Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG- CV) Round 3 funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). CDBG-CV funds must be used to prevent, prepare for, or respond to the Coronavirus pandemic, and may not be used to supplant other funding sources. Additionally, CDBG-CV funds must meet a CDBG program national objective, and the activity must be CDBG-eligible. HUD also provided for communities to accept several regulatory waivers that facilitate the rapid use of CDBG-CV funds. The purpose of this public hearing is to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on the programs and activities proposed in the FY 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan. DISCUSSION The City of Rosemead is a federal entitlement grant recipient of Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships 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 are: 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 2021-22 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 Annual Action Plan for a 30-day comment period in order to receive citizen input regarding the final document; and Conduct a public hearing adopting the final Annual Action Plan. HUD requires every state and local government that receives CDBG and HOME funding to prepare a five-year comprehensive plan which brings community needs and resources together to achieve statutory goals, and thereby address decent housing, create a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for the city's residents, particularly for low- and moderate- income persons. As an Entitlement Community,the City of Rosemead is required to prepare and submit a five-year Consolidated Plan that serves as the federal planning document for receiving City Council Meeting April 27,2021 Page 3 of 5. CDBG and HOME Program funds. The City completed its 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan in May 2020. Every year,the City is also required to prepare and submit an Annual Action Plan to HUD which serves to update and delineate efforts in the program year ahead toward meeting the priorities established by the City in its Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan operates on a single program year established by the City (i.e., July 1, 202.1 through June 30, 2022), whereas the Consolidated Plan covers a five-year planning period(July 1,2020 through June 30,2025). After much deliberation and thought,it is being proposed that the activities shown in Attachment A be funded under the CDBG, HOME, and CDBG-CV3 programs and included in the City's Annual Action Plan for the FY 2021-22. 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 (1) provide benefits to low- or moderate-income persons, (2) eliminate slum or blighted conditions, or (3) satisfy an urgent need. In addition, of the CDBG funds received, no more than 15% ($110,773) of the annual grant amount can be used for social service activities; no more than 20% ($147,698) of the grant amount 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 2021-22. The Annual Action Plan continues to include funds for the City's Senior Nutrition Services at the.Garvey Center, the Summer Youth Employment Program, Family Promise, and Fair Housing services. HOME Program In reviewing the HOME funds recommendations, it would be appropriate for the City Council to remember that no more than 10% ($33,751) can be used for administrative and program delivery activities. At least 15% ($50,627) must be set aside for CHDO, as constituted under the regulations. The balance of funds can only be used for housing activities. Unexpended amounts were carried over from the FY 2020-21 budget for Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loans and the affordable housing program. In addition to the activities above,the City is currently pursuing an opportunity to develop affordable housing. CDBG-CV3 Funds On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ,of 2020 (the "CARES Act") was signed into law by the Federal Government. The CARES Act provides $5 City Council Meeting April 27,2021 Page 4 of 5 billion in Community Development Block Grant funding ("CDBG") to assist"America's low- income families and most vulnerable citizens." In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 31, April 9 and April 10, 2020, HUD published memoranda of available regulatory waivers and flexibilities for the CDBG Program, HOME Program and the Consolidated Plan. The regulatory waivers and flexibilities are intended to prevent the spread of COVED-19 and facilitate assistance to households and businesses economically impacted by the pandemic. On September 11, 2020, HUD announced the release of approximately $2 billion in Round 3 CDBG-CV funds. The City of Rosemead is eligible to receive $528,646 in CDBG- CV Round 3 funds from HUD. The proposed program funding allocation breakdown for the FY 2021-22 Action Plan is found on Attachment A. STAFF RECOMMENDATION That the City Council: 1. Conduct a public hearing and receive public testimony on the Annual Action Plan; 2. Approve the FY 2021 -2022 Annual Action Plan including CDBG,HOME,and CDBG- CV3 funding recommendations, and authorize the submittal of the Annual Action Plan to the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD). 3. Authorize City Manager to execute all appropriate and necessary documents to receive funding and implement approved use and make necessary budget adjustments based on HUD's finalallocation amount; and 4. Authorize City Manager to execute sub-recipient agreements with the non-profit organizations receiving CDBG,HOME, CDBG-CV3 allocations in the Action Plan. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. The Annual Action Plan includes HUD funding allocation for CDBG, HOME, and CDBG-CV3 programs.

Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The strategies and projects outlined in the 2021-2022 Annual Action 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 in order to meet the objectives outlined in the plan.The Annual Action Plan will focus on goals established within the Five-Year 2020-2024 ConPlan-Strategic Plan. During the development of the Con Plan,the City solicited 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- tomoderate-income households and special needs.households.The City consulted with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (formally the Los Angeles County Development Commission) and nonprofit organizations to determine funding needs for housingand services for homeless persons, low- to moderate-income persons,and low-income neighborhoods.

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 low-and moderate-income. There is a wide range of activities that are eligible under CDBG Programs. CDBG grantees are responsible for ensuring that each eligible activity meets one of three national objectives: • Benefiting low–and moderate–income 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$738,492 in PY 2021-2022 CDBG funds. In addition,the City has received$528,646 in CDBG-CV3 in PY 2020-2021 to assist residents impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 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. HOME is designed to create affordable housing to low-income households. The program was designed to reinforce several important values and principles of community development. The City is anticipating receiving approximately$337,512 in PY 2021-2022 HOME funds. The City proposes to use its HOME funds for the Residential/Rental Rehabilitation Program,develop affordable housing through acquisition/rehabilitation,down payment assistance,and for the general administration of the HOME Program.

Table 64—Project Information 16 ! Page 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 percent 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 low- and moderate-income block groups. Eligible activities in areas found to be low- and moderate-income block groups include street improvements, improvement to public facilities, and improvements to facilities for persons with special needs. The low- and moderate-income (LMI) area benefit national objective applies if the activities benefit all persons in a residential area where at least 51 percent 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 require major repair of building systems.The LMI residential areas in the City cover the very most northern part and the Garvey district in the southern half of the City, below Highway 10. The Garvey district is comprised primarily of residential land uses. Neighborhoods west of Walnut Grove Avenue on Garvey consist mostly of medium density residential with three smaller zones of low density residential. All residential east of Walnut Grove Avenue is 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. A new map has been developed with Low-and Moderate-Income Summary Data (LMISD), resulting from the 2010 Census,became effective. The LMISD is the data that the City uses for the 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. The City has traditionally used 80 percent 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 of 70 percent low/mod benefit level for CDBG activities).To continue to achieve this high ratio of low/mod benefit for its CDBG resources,and because of the compelling need to assist these target areas, the City will continue to direct CDBG resources to these special geographic areas. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Eligible Low-and Moderate-Income Block Groups 30 Community Wide 60 Table 65-Geographic Distribution 17jPage 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.

The City of Rosemead believes the 203(b) limits provided by HUD, for Los Angeles County, understate housing prices in Rosemead. Therefore,staff performed its own analysis to determine the 95 percent 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, coops 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 within the City, a one-month reporting period must be used. If there are 250-499 sales per month,a two-month reporting 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 19 1 Page number,the median is established by the price of the middle sale. If the total number os 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 FHA limits do not accurately reflect current actual home purchase prices for the area.Therefore, a local market survey was conducted for the City home sales for a three-month period using HDL data. This survey shows a median price of$670,000 in the City of Rosemead and a 95 percent median value price of$636,500 for Single Family homes and$561,450 for Condominium sales(see Home Sales data in Attachment A). 20IPage • AP-60 Public Housing—91.220(h) Introduction There are no public-owned housing projects located in the City. LACDA provides rental assistance to the City residents through the Federal Section 8 Voucher program.The primary objective of this program is to assist low-income(0 to 50 percent 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 7 to 10 years, if not longer. Each applicant is selected from the waiting list in sequence, based upon date of preliminary application and Voucher availability. Although there are no public housing units, there are several affordable housing developments. The following four housing developments 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 is for 55 years from the effective date of the Development Agreement between the City of Rosemead and the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation or until February 7, 2050.

Two(2)3-Bedroom Single Family Homes During the FY 2007-2008 and FY 2010-2011, the City entered into agreements with RHCDC for the production of affordable housing using the 15 percent CHDO set-aside funding as required under the HOME entitlement grant.As a result,the City approved two separate 0 percent deferred payment loans funded by the HOME CHDO Set-Aside Fund to the Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation for the purchase of two 3-bedroom rental property in the City. Both properties are restricted as rental, property for low-to moderate-income households and are subject to a 55 year affordability covenant until May 2063 and March 2066,respectively. 21 !

Every year, LAHSA conducts a census of the homeless population through the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count. To understand the level of homelessness in the City, in January 2020, volunteers participated in the homeless count for Rosemead. The count reported 80 unsheltered persons. Out of which 42 were living on the street, 7 were living in cars,8 were living in vans, 12 were living in campers or recreational vehicles(RVs), 2 were living in tents,and 9 were living in makeshift shelters.The number of homeless in 2019 has increased from the total count in 2018. The homeless count for the City of Rosemead in 2019 revealed 91 unsheltered and zero sheltered persons. City departments are familiar with available resources for homeless and to continue to look for opportunities to assist the homeless. 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 Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority(LAHSA).To facilitate regional coordination for homeless needs, Los Angeles County is divided into eight Service Planning Areas (SPAs), 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(HIC) and a Point-in- Time (PIT) inventory of service projects within the Los Angeles Continuum of Care.The HIC 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 the homeless families with children located in the City of Rosemead. • While it is,difficult to pinpoint the exact number of homeless persons, results of the annual PIT survey conducted for 2020 were 80 homeless individuals.The PIT survey also indicated that none of the homeless persons accounted for were sheltered. 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 2019 PIT survey indicates that the homeless population is primarily male adults (25-54 years old)of Hispanic ethnicity with a smaller percentage of White individuals. While the population of males is the highest,a significant number(35.2 percent)of those counted are female. There is no data regarding the number of veterans-and their families. In year one,the City intends to fund two public services organization including a fair housing provider and Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley.The fair housing provider will continue to provide the City with fair housing services as well as handle future housing discrimination cases.Family Promise located San Gabriel Boulevard, Rosemead provides food,shelter,and support services for homeless families.Counseling.and 23IPage homeless prevention services are provided for at-risk families.In 2018 Family Promise successfully found housing for 88 percent of its clients. In 2020-2021 Family Promise anticipates CDBG funding will assist 4 to 5 families. Outside of CDBG funding, the City also relies on El Monte Access Center, located several miles outside of Rosemead to provide intake/assessment services,case management,and transportation assistance for homeless individuals. 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 needto 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. 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, 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. 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 City residents;many of which are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. 24 IPage AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing—91.220(j) Introduction: 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 five years 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. 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. In February 2020,the City adopted the 2020 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice(Al).Through data analysis and community engagement activities the following barriers to fair housing were identified: • Low number of affordable housing units. • High housing land,construction and labor costs. • Lack of rent control/stabilization policies particularly for single parent households, persons with disabilities and seniors. • Salaries are stagnant compared to the rising cost of housing. • Lack of time or finances for increased education. • Safe crosswalks and guards on routes to school. • Access to the Internet for school-age children. • Limited amount of recreation and open play areas and public spaces. • Lack of funding and knowledge about existing housing placement services, rental assistance,and rent deposit services/programs. • Lack of individual and local resources to maintain housing stock. • Lack of wrap-around services for families purchasing homes for the first time. • Expand local housing agencies'capacity for family placement services and to create more housing opportunities in the City. • Lack of implementation of local housing policies for affordable housing development. The final chapter of the Al discusses the ways and means the City can begin to remediate or reduce the barriers to affordable housing.The following goals were adopted: Goal 1:Create housing solutions for members of protected classes. Goal 2:Increase affordable housing opportunities. • Goal 3:Support housing development initiatives that foster a collaborative approach between public/ private housing to maximize the leveraging of funds. Goal 4:Increase homeownership. Goal 5:Create public awareness of fair housing laws and affordable housing advocacy. Goal 6: Increase job training and employment opportunities. Discussion: See above discussion. 25 [ Page AP-85 Other Actions—91.220(k) Introduction: 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 Al 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 look at non-traditional ways to increase affordable housing to meet the needs of the homeless, low- and moderate-income renters who want to purchase homes, and develop new opportunities for residential development.The City will continue to combine funding sources and leverage private funds that can assist in the ConPlan's priority needs and goals. 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 • 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 propertiesconstructed 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. 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. ' Page e 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 existing within the City providing for the daily needs of residents. • Angelus/Garvey Senior Housing—rental assistance for seniors • Dial-A-Ride—transportation service for seniors and disabled • Fair Housing Services—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 and referral services • Senior Nutrition Program—nutritious meals • LACDA—rental assistance • Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs—rehabilitation of home • Vintage California Mission Inn—assisted living facility for seniors and 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 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 the City.The City has also rolled out a Commercial Facade Improvement Program that will provide low interest loans for exterior building improvements.Creating attractive and energy efficient storefronts is a priority need in the City.The City is also assisting businesses that have been impacted by the COVID-10 pandemic. 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 participated in one tax credit development project. 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 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's 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 the continued coordination with the Continuum of Care 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 27IPage assistance available to residents is an ongoing and time-consuming task that requires a large number of City staff.Creating an institutional structure that has the ability to 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 support 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 2021-2022 AAP through its various organizations including Family Promise, Senior Nutrition Provider,and the fair housing provider.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.
