CC - Item 4A - Public Hearing to Consider the Second Substantial Amendment to the FY 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan to Include HOME-ARP Allocation PlanROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 28, 2023
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE SECOND SUBSTANTIAL
AMENDMENT TO THE FY 2021-2022 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN TO
INCLUDE HOME -ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
SUMMARY
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) appropriated $5 billion to communities across the
U.S. to provide for the development of housing, supportive services, and shelter to individuals
experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations. These funds were allocated by
formula to jurisdictions that qualified for funding through the HOME Investment Partnership
Program (HOME Program) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). This special round of funding is called the "HOME -ARP" program.
The City of Rosemead has been awarded $1,222,084 in HOME -ARP funding from HUD. In order
to receive the HOME -ARP funds, the City must develop an allocation plan that will become part
of the City's FY 2021-2022 HUD Annual Action Plan by substantial amendment. HOME -ARP
funds can only be expended on eligible activities such as: the production or preservation of
affordable housing, tenant -based rental assistance, and supportive services for individuals
experiencing homelessness or at -risk of homelessness. Funding for this grant must be expended
on eligible activities by 2030. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council determine that
this item is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and adopt the
substantial amendment to FY 2021-2022 HUD Annual Action Plan to include the Home -ARP
Allocation Plan.
BACKGROUND
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed ARP into law, which provides over $1.9 trillion in
relief to address the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, public health,
state and local governments, individuals, and businesses.
To address the need for homelessness assistance and supportive services, Congress appropriated
$5 billion in ARP funds to be administered through HOME to perform four activities that must

primarily benefit qualifying individuals and families who are homeless, at risk of homelessness,
or in other vulnerable populations. These activities include: (1) development and support of
affordable housing; (2) tenant -based rental assistance (TBRA); (3) provision of supportive
services; and (4) acquisition and development of non -congregate shelter units.
To receive HOME -ARP funds, 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 15 -day comment period in order to receive citizen
input regarding the final document; and
• Conduct a public hearing adopting the final HOME Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME) -American Rescue Plan Program.
Upon notice of allocation of potential award of HOME -ARP funds, HUD had not provided
guidance to jurisdictions on a deadline to develop an allocation plan. In December 2022, HUD
sent notice to all HOME -ARP plans must be approved and submitted by March 31, 2023, to be
considered for award.
The City of Rosemead held two virtual consultation sessions for community stakeholders on
January 9, 2023 and January 10, 2023. Representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and
organizations were invited to attend, including; Union Station Homeless Services, Family Promise,
Veterans Administration, East Los Angeles Women's Center, Los Angeles Centers for Drug
Abuse and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). LAHSA is currently the lead
agency for Continuum of Care in the region. Through a Measure H grant awarded to the San
Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) the City also works with the L.A Center for
Alcohol and Drug Abuse (L.A. CADA) to provides supplemental homeless to individuals
experiencing homelessness in Rosemead.
The City also held a virtual consultation session for residents on January 12, 2023. All participants
were sent a needs assessment survey link, and a total of 39 stakeholders and residents responded
to the survey. Based on the stakeholder meetings, survey responses, and staff s identification of
the highest and best use of these funds to respond to critical needs in Rosemead the City will
prioritize HOME -ARP funds for homeless supportive services as defined as a qualifying
population under the HOME -ARP regulations. Upon adoption of the plan by the City Council and
approval by HUD, the City will solicit applications from qualified homeless services providers

INTRODUCTION
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) appropriated $5 billion to communities across the
U.S. to provide housing, services, and shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness and other
vulnerable populations. These funds were allocated by formula to jurisdictions that qualified for
funding through the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME Program) from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Funding for this grant must be expended
on eligible activities by 2030. This special round of funding is called the "HOME -ARP" program.
HOME -ARP funds can only be expended on eligible activities:
• Production or Preservation of Affordable Housing
• Tenant -Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
• Supportive Services, including services defined at 24 CFR 578.53(e), Homeless Prevention
Services, and Housing Counseling
• Purchase and Development ofNon-Congregate Shelter. These structures can remain in use
as a non -congregate shelter or can be converted to 1) emergency shelter under the
Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program; 2) permanent housing under the Continuum
of Care (Coe) Program; or 3) affordable housing under the HOME Program.
HOME -ARP funds must be used primarily to benefit individuals or families from the following
qualifying populations and defined as individuals or families who may be:
• Homeless, as defined in section 103(a) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act

STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION & PUBLIC PARTICPATION
HUD requires each HOME -ARP Participating Jurisdiction to consult with agencies and service
providers whose clientele include the HOME -ARP qualifying populations. Agencies that must, at
a minimum, be consulted include the Continuum of Care serving the jurisdiction's geographic
area, homeless and domestic violence service providers, veterans' groups, public housing agencies
(PHAs), public agencies that address fair housing, civil rights, and the needs or persons with
disabilities.
HUD also requires that each Participating Jurisdiction provide opportunities for the public to
comment on the proposed Allocation Plan, including the amount of HOME -ARP funds that will
be received and the range of activities that the City may undertake.
Stakeholder Consultation
To ensure broad input into the HOME -ARP Allocation Plan from stakeholders and the public,
the City engaged in consultation with stakeholders and the public, including virtual
consultation sessions, direct contact with HUD -required organizations, HOME -ARP
summary on City's webpage, a 15 -day public review/comment period, and a public hearing.
The community outreach and engagement process for the HOME -ARP grant provided
multiple opportunities for subject matter experts within the community, stakeholders, and
organizations to assess the needs, gaps, and barriers relating to homeless preventative
services.
The City of Rosemead held two virtual consultation sessions for stakeholders. The sessions
took place on January 9' and January 10th, 2023. Representatives from multiple agencies,
groups, and organizations were invited via email to attend. Those unable to attend were
invited to submit written comments via emails or schedule a phone call to share their
thoughts. The City held one virtual consultation session for residents on January 12, 2023.
The virtual consultation sessions included an overview of the HOME -ARP notice to inform
attendees of the qualifying populations and eligible activities, an opportunity to ask
clarifying questions, a request for input into needs and gaps, priority populations and
activities, and an overview of the Allocation Plan timeline and process. The stakeholders and
residents were asked for ideas and recommendations on how to best use the funds and the current
gaps in service each organization is currently facing.

Surveys
In addition, a survey was created to gather information about the needs of the qualifying
populations, which was then used to formulate the Homeless and Housing Needs Inventory and
Gaps Analysis. The survey could be accessed online by any member of the public and was
advertised via social media, the City website, Rosemead This Week SMS newsletter, and press
release.
The survey was designed and available online and invited representatives from multiple
agencies, groups, and organizations to rank the qualifying populations and eligible activities
and services in order of perceived need, and the best approach for carrying out those
activities for the community. The survey was conducted from January 9, 2023, through
February 10, 2023. A total of 39 stakeholders and residents responded to the survey. See
Appendix A: Needs Assessment Survey Responses.
Summary of feedback received from consulted organizations
Consultation revealed strong support for provisions of supportive services. Many examples of
supportive services were mentioned in the virtual session including case management, fair
housing, mental health services, credit repair services, housing counseling, substance abuse
services, and eviction defense.
Public Participation
To provide opportunities for public participation, the City sent an email to all agencies and
individuals on its email list notifying them of the opportunity to participate in the virtual
consultation sessions. In addition to attending the virtual consultation session, they were asked to
complete an online survey regarding their views of the level of need for the eligible activities and
qualifying populations as described by the CPD Notice 2110. Those unable to attend, or who had
further comments after the virtual session were invited to email them directly to City staff.
A combined notice of public comment period and public hearing was published in the Rosemead
Reader on February 13, 2023. The draft Substantial Amendment to PY 2021-2022 Annual Action
Plan and HOME -ARP Allocation Plan was available for public review from February 13, 2023, to
February 27, 2023 (15 -Day Public Review). See Appendix B: Public Notice. In addition, the
documents were available on the City's website. Written comments were accepted prior to the
public hearing.
The public hearing will be held as an opportunity to comment on the Draft HOME -ARP Allocation
Plan, budget, and recommended activities. The hearing will be held on February 28, 2023.

Describe efforts to broaden public participation
To broaden public participation, the Citizen Participation process was crucial to the development
of the HOME -ARP Allocation Plan and was encouraged throughout all stages of the consultation
process. Rosemead promoted the surveys, community and focus group meetings, 15 -day comment
period, and public hearings. Consultation provided multiple opportunities in various formats for
stakeholders and residents to share their experiences with working and providing services to
qualified populations. Announcement of these meetings was advertised via social media, the City
website, Rosemead This Week SMS newsletter, and press release.
To provide opportunities for public participation, the City sent an email to all agencies and
individuals on its email list notifying them of the opportunity to participate in the virtual
consultation session held on January 91h, January 10th, and January 12th, 2023. Those unable to
attend, or who had further comments after the virtual session were invited to email them directly
to City staff.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND GAPS ANALYSIS
The needs assessment and gap analysis must evaluate the size and demographic composition of
HOME -ARP qualifying populations, and unmet needs of HOME -ARP qualifying populations. In
addition, the needs assessment and gap analysis must identify any gaps within its current shelter
and housing inventory, and service delivery system. This needs assessment and gap analysis
focuses on the following:
1. Sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations;
2. Currently housed populations at risk of homelessness;
3. Other families requiring services or housing to prevent homelessness; and
4. Those at greatest risk of housing instability or unstable housing situations.
Homelessness and housing insecurity are a significant concern within the City of Rosemead and
across Los Angeles County. Through its partnership with the stakeholders, and residents, the City
of Rosemead has developed this HOME -ARP Allocation Plan to enhance efforts to prevent and
reduce homelessness among residents of Rosemead. The Plan aims to use HOME -ARP funds,
leverage local resources and support regional coordination efforts to: (1) reduce inflow into
homelessness through targeted prevention and diversion, (2) boost existing homelessness response
efforts in the City through increased coordination with and funding of existing programs and
resources throughout the region and San Gabriel Valley, and (3) promote housing affordability.
Four key concerns were identified in the data collection and stakeholder engagement process. The
first is that homelessness within Rosemead has increased over the years and is a common concern
among residents. Second, public health and safety is a valued consideration in the community,
particularly as it relates to unsheltered homelessness. Third, in comparison to the level of need,
there is a lack of available homelessness response services and resources in or near Rosemead.
And, lastly, there is an insufficient supply of affordable housing for current and future needs of
residents in the City.
The City plans on partnering with existing service providers and programs in the region to be able
to better leverage HOME -ARP resources. The City may focus on assisting: 1) individuals and
families experiencing homelessness, 2) individuals and families at -risk of homelessness, 3)
individuals and families fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, stalking, or human trafficking, and 4) other populations for whom supportive services or
assistance would prevent homelessness or serve those with the greatest risk of housing instability.
HOME -ARP Plan - City of Rosemead 7 1 P a e
Additionally, eviction prevention and other rent relief programs may be further developed and
expanded to assist the targeted homeless populations.
Housing Inventory Count
The annual Housing Inventory Count (HIC) provides useful context regarding the number and type
of beds and units that are available for individuals and families experiencing on any given night.
The following tables summarize beds and units available as of December 19, 2022, within the SPA
3 planning area by bed type. The City of Rosemead does not have any emergency transitional
housing located with its jurisdiction.
Emergency housing beds include emergency shelter and transitional housing; emergency shelter
generally allows for short-term or nightly stays, while transitional housing generally allows for a
stay up to 24 months. Both types of emergency housing may include supportive services designed
to facilitate movement to independent living.
The 2022 HIC did not include details about housing available for subpopulations which is
represented by "—" in the table below.

Suggested Data Sources: 1. American Community Survey (ACS); 2. Comprehensive Housing Affordability
Strategy (CHAS)
Describe the size and demographic composition of qualifying populations within the PJ's
boundaries
The City of Rosemead is in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County, with a population of
approximately 54,058 people. Rosemead's population size has remained consistent in comparison
to the broader region, increasing by only approximately 1,110 people from 2000 to 2017. Of the
residents in Rosemead, 60.6% identify as Asian; 34.5% identify as Hispanic or Latino; 14.4% as
white non -Hispanic; 0.5% as American Indian and Alaskan Native; and 0.2% as Black or African
American. Approximately half of the City's housing units are occupied by renters (50.49%) and
half are occupied by owners (49.51%). The median household income in Rosemead is 23% lower
than in the County overall and 30% lower than the State.
Homeless Populations
In January 2022, the Los Angeles Continuum of Care Point -in -Time Count determined there were
83 people experiencing literal (unsheltered) homelessness within Rosemead. This reflects a slight
increase from 2020 when 79 people were identified but continues to reflect an overall trend
increase from earlier years. While a more detailed demographic breakdown is not yet available for
the 2022 Point -in -Time Count, the data from Rosemead's 2022 Point -in -Time Count reveals
46.2% identified as Hispanic or Latino, 27.5% as white non -Hispanic, 22% as Black or African
American, and less than 5% as Asian, American Indian or Alaskan Native, or multi -racial. This
data reflects a disproportionate prevalence of Hispanic or Latino, Black and African American,
HOME -ARP Plan - City of Rosemead 9 1 P a g e
and white non -Hispanic people amongst those experiencing homelessness in Rosemead in
comparison to the City's total population.
Of the 83 people experiencing homelessness within Rosemead who were captured through the
Point -in -Time Count enumeration process, 100% were unsheltered and none were living in
emergency shelter. No emergency shelters or transitional housing programs currently exist within
the City's jurisdiction. People are considered sheltered when they are residing in emergency
shelter or transitional housing, but not when they are receiving rapid rehousing assistance or
residing in permanent supportive housing.
The information below shows the living situations of people experiencing homelessness within the
City at the time of the 2022 Point -in -Time Count. As can be seen, most people who are
experiencing homelessness within the City are staying outdoors on the streets, in tents, or in
makeshift shelters.
• Persons on the Street: 29
• Persons in Cars: 7
• Persons in Vans: 1
• Persons in RVs/Campers: 4
• Persons in Makeshift Shelters: 31
• Persons in Tents: 12
Demographics or family status were not reported.
At -risk of Homelessness
HUD defines those at risk of homelessness as individuals or families who have an annual
income at or below 30% of the area median income level, do not have sufficient resources or
support networks available to prevent them from to an emergency shelter or into
homelessness, and live with an instability such as moving two or more times during the last
60 -days due to economic reasons, live in the home of another due to economic hardship, or have
been notified in writing -that their right to occupy their current housing will be terminated.
HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) 2015-2019 data (CHAS Table
10) provides information by household income level. There are approximately 14,455
households in Rosemead. The CHAS data indicates approximately 3,550 households (935
owners and 2,615 renters) or approximately 25% of the owner and renter population with
incomes below 30% AMI that are at risk of homelessness in Rosemead. There are 2,795
households that earn 0% - 30% AMI, of which 20% experience at least one housing problem.

Fleeing or Attempting to Flee Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking
or Human Trafficking
The 2022 PIT Count for Los Angeles County identified a total of 20,596 sheltered homeless
in the County. Among these, 3,412 were unsheltered persons fleeing domestic violence and
1,338 were sheltered adult survivors of domestic violence. The number of survivors of
domestic violence does not include children in families. Providers of services to survivors of
domestic violence indicate the number of individuals in need of shelter is likely undercounted
as isolation and physical distancing mandates resulted in increased domestic violence concerns
while limiting potential flight from unsafe living situations. Demographic information for this
qualifying population is confidential.
PIT data was also available for SPA 3 specific to domestic violence. In 2022, a grand total of
153 were fleeing domestic violence; 58 (38%) unsheltered and 95 (62%) sheltered.
Data is unavailable at the local level for Rosemead, specifically. The City consulted with a local
domestic violence provider East Los Angeles Women's Center (ELAWC) to better ascertain the
extent of community needs for this qualifying population. Overall, except when victims go
through the Coordinated Entry System for shelter support, there are limited metrics available
subject to victims fleeing or surviving domestic violence, because issues either go unreported
or abusive partners make it difficult for victims to escape relationships. While domestic violence
hotlines and programming offer some indications of need, they do not fully quantify or
accurately measure the pervasiveness of this issue.
An important footnote of domestic violence is the "extent" of harm, including physical abuse,
emotional or psychological abuse, sexual abuse, or financial abuse (using money to exert
control). Often, abusers are able to exert complete control over a victim's action without ever
using physical violence. However, all types of abuse can be devastating.
Locally, ELAWC indicated the demographic attributes of persons experiencing domestic
violence within the area are predominantly Latino females. Pregnant women, youth, persons
identifying as LGBTQ, and men are also victims. Many of these victims (within the East Los
Angeles area) are undocumented; consequently, they don't quality for key services (ie, shelter
assistance). According to ELAWC and studies, among domestic violence victims, there is a
40% connection of domestic violence to homelessness.
Other Populations
Other populations, as defined by HOME -ARP, include those who:
1. Are currently housed and at risk of repeat homelessness;
2. Have incomes at or below 30% AMI and are experiencing severe housing cost burden;
and
HOME -ARP Plan - City of Rosemead 11 I P a 2 e
3. Otherwise meet the definition of at risk of homelessness and have incomes of more
than 30% and at or below 50%
Currently housed and at risk of repeat homelessness
The Homelessness Policy Research Institute indicates that up to 10.3% of individuals exiting
emergency shelter or transitional housing in any given year will return to homelessness within 12
months. The PIT for SPA 3 showed that in 2022, 1,676 persons were in emergency shelters and
transitional housing facilities; therefore, the risk of repeat homelessness is approximately 17
people per year.
At greatest risk of housing instability — Households with incomes < 30% AMI and experiencing
severe housine cost burden
Persons at greatest risk of housing instability are those that: 1) are earning 30% or below the
HAMFI and are severely cost -burdened (paying 50% or more on housing); or 2) are earning 50%
or less of HAMFI and meet one of the following conditions:
1. Has moved two or more times in the two months immediately preceding their application
for homelessness prevention assistance.
2. Is living in the home of another because of economic hardship.
3. Has been formally notified of eviction within 21 days after the date of application for
assistance.
4. Lives in a hotel or motel and the cost of staying at the hotel or motel is not borne by a
federal, state, or local government program.
5. Lives in an over -crowded (more than one person per room) single -room occupancy (SRO)
or efficiency apartment units, or lives in a severely overcrowded (more than 1.5 persons
per room) larger housing unit.
6. Is exiting a publicly funded institution, or system of care (health care facility, mental health
facility, foster care or other youth facility, or correction program or institution).
7. Otherwise lives in housing that has characteristics associated with instability and an
increased risk of homelessness, as identified in the recipient's approved Consolidated Plan.
For the first group of households at greatest risk of housing instability, 2015-2019 HUD CHAS
data indicates there are 1,755 renter households with annual income less than 30% AMI that are
severely cost burdened.
Information on each of the conditions listed above for the second category of persons at greatest
risk of housing instability is not readily available, with the exception of data on overcrowding. The
HOME -ARP Plan - City of Rosemead 12 I P a e e
2015-2019 CHAS data described 1,990 households in the City of Rosemead eaming 50% or less
of the AMI, with at least 1 of 4 Housing Problems.
At ereatest risk of housine instability — Households with incomes 30-50% AMI that meet HUD's
&91.5 definition of at risk of homelessness
Households in this category are those with incomes between 30% and 50% AMI that lack sufficient
resources or support networks to prevent homelessness, and:
1. Have moved more than two times due to economic reasons in the past 60 days;
2. Are doubled up with another household due to economic hardship;
3. Will be evicted within 21 days;
4. Live in a hotel or motel without financial assistance from a nonprofit or government entity;
5. Live in an efficiency apartment and are overcrowded; or
6. Are exiting a publicly funded institution or system of care.
HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) 2015-2019 data Table 10 provides
information on households that include more than one family, household income level and
overcrowding. This CHAS data indicates there are approximately 3,105 households with incomes
between 30% and 50% AMI that are at risk of homelessness in the City.
Further, while not reflected in the data above, stakeholders in Rosemead expressed concern the
Point -in -Time Count underrepresents the number of people experiencing homelessness within the
City, whether those are families who are fearful of engagement or because there are limited
commercial or public areas within the largely residential City where people normally congregate.
Based on information gathered through the data collection and stakeholder engagement process,
there are four key findings related to homelessness within Rosemead:
• Homelessness has increased over the years and is a common concern in the community.
• There are public health and safety concerns associated with people experiencing
homelessness, particularly unsheltered homelessness.
• In comparison to the need, there is a lack of available homelessness response services and
resources in or near Rosemead.
• There is an insufficient supply of affordable housing for current and future needs of
residents in the City.

Increases in Homelessness
As with much of the surrounding region and County, homelessness in Rosemead has been steadily
increasing over the past decade. More assessment is needed to identify potential causes of the
increase: however, potential contributors include the lack of affordable housing in the City,
inadequate interim and permanent housing resources in the region, and gaps in mental health and
substance use services that could support unhoused people experiencing mental health or substance
use disorders with accessing housing. Many stakeholders expressed concern regarding the
unknown impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on rates of homelessness and housing instability
within the City.
Public Health and Safety Concerns
Concerns for the public health impacts of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness,
particularly in commercial areas of the City where business operators have expressed uncertainty
as to how to respond to people who are unsheltered near their facilities, were also raised in the
information gathering process. Some people also shared safety concerns related to the prevalence
or perception of illegal activities such as theft, property destruction, or substance use in areas
frequented by people who were unsheltered. Through its contract with the Los Angeles County
Sheriff s Department and the City's Code Enforcement Division, the City currently responds to a
multitude of calls that may include mental or physical health crises, reports of encampments, and
concerns related to quality -of -life situations or illegal activity.
Lack of Available and Accessible Homelessness Response Services and Resources
As of the writing of this Plan, no emergency shelters or transitional housing programs operate
within the City's jurisdiction for people experiencing homelessness. However, through the City's
CDBG program, Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley (FPSGV) has received partial funding to
help operate a temporary transitional housing program for homeless families with minor children.
The program also includes a resource center where families in the program can drop into access
case management and a full range of social services, and to use the shower/laundry facilities.
FPSGV provides overnight housing and food for no more than four (4) families (or no more than
14 individuals --adults and children) for one week (7 days) at a time with a maximum of four (4)
nonconsecutive times a year.
Lack of Affordable Housing
The online survey identified affordable housing as a significant gap within the City, and
respondents indicated it is one of the most pressing issues they are concerned about related to
homelessness. Concerns related to rising housing costs and the lack of new or available affordable
units are also echoed in the City's 2020 HUD Analysis of Impediments report for the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG).
HOME -ARP Plan - City of Rosemead 14 111 a g e
As noted above, many stakeholders expressed concern that some households that may have been
able to manage rents before the pandemic will not be able to continue to sustain payment of high
housing costs. While the effects are still unknown, it is likely that the COV1D-19 pandemic will
exacerbate housing instability challenges within the city.
The City of Rosemead currently partners with local homeless service providers to provide outreach
and housing placement. Although there was insufficient data to determine the homeless shelter
gap in the City for homeless adults, the high-cost burden shown by the CHAS data indicates there
is a great need for housing stability to prevent homelessness and assist those that have become
homeless. The need for more shelters is high, but locations and space are limited. A review of
community data shows a lack of affordable housing for household earning less than 30% AMI.
There are 2,165 households that earn less than 30% AMI with a severe cost burden and are at risk
of homelessness, however there are only 125 affordable units for this income level (2021-2019
Housing Element Table 35). 2,040 more affordable units are needed to meet the needs of this
demographic. There is a need for legal services for households who are currently in the eviction
process. Data shows that 78.7% all households earning less than 30% AMI (are experiencing at
least one housing burdens. This demographic is at greatest risk of housing instability.
Current Resources Available to Assist Qualifying Populations
The City relies on coordinated efforts with the LAHSA and Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley
to help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially those who are
likely to become homeless after receiving previous assistance. Efforts include transitional housing
from permanent to independent living, shortening the period of time that individuals and families
experience homelessness, facilitating access to affordable housing units for homeless individuals
and families, and preventing those who experienced homelessness from becoming homeless again.
The primary obstacle to meeting all the identified needs, including those identified as priorities is
the lack of funding resources available to the public and private agencies who serve the needs of
the qualifying populations. Homeless prevention and service needs in the community far exceed
the funding resources available.
Current Resources: Congregate Beds and Non -congregate Shelter Units
Congregate beds include emergency, safe haven, and transitional housing beds and units. Non -
congregate shelter includes permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing. Although there
are currently no congregate beds and no beds in non -congregate shelter units in the City, the City
does refer people to outside resources.
The City provided an annual allocation of CDBG funds to Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley,
an organization that provides shelter for children and families experiencing homelessness. The
City also worked with the LAHSA to address emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of
people experiencing homelessness.
HOME -ARP Plan - City of Rosemead 15 I P a _ e
Current Resources: Supportive Services
The City relies on coordinated efforts with the LAHSA and Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley
to help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially those who are
likely to become homeless after receiving previous assistance. Efforts include transitional housing
from permanent to independent living, shortening the period of time that individuals and families
experience homelessness, facilitating access to affordable housing units for homeless individuals
and families, and preventing those who experienced homelessness from becoming homeless again.
The City continues to seek and work with local non- profit agencies who provided emergency food
and clothing. The City continues referring low- income residents to services, which many are
experiencing homelessness or at -risk of homelessness.
Through a partnership with SGVCOG that is funded by a Measure H, the City is a participating in
a supplemental homeless services program with LA CADA. Each week on Wednesday, LA CADA
sends an outreach team to Rosemead for 2-3 hours to make contact with individuals at -risk or
experiencing homelessness to assist them with supportive services. This type of proactive, boots
on the ground approach has proven to be the most effective method at providing services to
individuals at -risk or currently experiencing homelessness.
Current Resources: Tenant -based Rental Assistance
Currently the City does not fund Tenant -based Rental Assistance programs. There are housing
vouchers available through the Housing Choice Voucher Program of the Los Angeles County
Development Authority and other programs offered in the region.
The Los Angeles County Housing Authority administers the City of Rosemead's Housing Choice
Voucher Program, which includes the Section 8 Program. Section 8 Voucher funds were used to
provide rental assistance to very low-income (0 to 50% of MFI) residents within the City. The Los
Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) serves the City and provides Section 8
assistance to the residents. A total of 347 families received housing assistance. Of this, 83 families
were Hispanic or Latino and 264 were considered non -Hispanic. The average contract rent is
$1,503. The average Housing Assistance Payment is $1,025.
Current Resources: Affordable and Permanent Supportive Rental Housing
The City has two apartment complexes in Rosemead that are currently rented exclusively by low-
income seniors (Angelus and Garvey Senior Apartments). The Angelus Senior Housing Project
was constructed in 1994, and the Garvey Senior Housing Project was constructed in 2002. Both
projects were constructed with assistance from the Community Redevelopment Agency, which no
longer exists. However, these units are owned and operated by the Rosemead Housing
Development Corporation, which is a nonprofit corporation established by the City to create
affordable housing and will be preserved in perpetuity as affordable housing.
HOME -ARP Plan - City of Rosemead 16 I P a a e
There is a single waiting list for both senior apartment complexes. Angelus Senior Apartments is
made up of 51 residential dwelling units, while Garvey Senior Apartments contains 72 residential
dwelling units. In addition, the California Mission Inn is an assisted living facility for seniors and
disabled individuals.
Shelter, Housing and Service Delivery System Gaps
Within Rosemead, there are no shelters or emergency housing resources. Additionally, within
existing shelters and housing, there a lack of knowledge of how to best serve and provide support
for those with lived experiences that may affect their mental health i.e., survivors of domestic
violence (DV), those with substance use disorder (SUD), those with severe mental illness (SMI),
those with symptoms of post-traumatic syndrome (PTSD).
Due to lack of bed availability in shelters and permanent housing the HOME -ARP funds may be
used to provide emergency and/or interim housing along with client supportive services in a
hotel/motel setting. Through case management, a housing navigator will identify and assist the
client's needs and barriers to find a long-term solution.
Characteristics of Housing Associated with Increased Rick of Homelessness for Other
Populations
As previously noted, the high rising cost of housing in Los Angeles County places all eligible
populations described in the 2022 Los Angeles County affordable Housing Needs Report at
increased risk of homelessness.
Priority Needs for Qualifying Populations
The top priority needs identified for qualifying populations are affordable housing, and supportive
services. The City may use its HOME -ARP funds to provide supportive services, such as housing
counseling, homelessness prevention, childcare, job training, legal services, case management,
moving costs, rental applications and rent assistance. Supportive services, when client centered,
trauma informed, recovery oriented, and when offered by caring and qualified licensed, certified
and registered professionals, can help homeless persons stop substance abuse, gain active recovery,
learn skills, get medical attentions, improve mental/physical health, and obtain housing and
employment.
HOME -ARP Plan - City of Rosemead 17 � P a a z
Increased availability at emergency shelters and/or interim housing for qualifying populations in
SPA 3 and Los Angeles County, emerged as a priority need among all participants in the
consultation process. Along with affordable housing which aligned with the Los Angeles County
Affordable Housing report.
In addition to supportive and affordable housing, supportive services are also vitally important to
ensure individuals experiencing homelessness can remained housed and avoid becoming homeless
again. These services include intensive case management for high need individuals, as well as
housing navigation and care coordination services that can be paired with rapid rehousing or other
rental assistance programs operating in Los Angeles County.
The program's qualifying population also includes residents on the verge of becoming homeless,
veterans and victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. The program's
activities include assisting clients with obtaining legal documents, resource referrals to mental
health providers, full-service partnerships, rapid re -housing, emergency hotel vouchers, substance
abuse, debt resolution, utility arrears and assisting with the client's income.
HOME -ARP Plan - City of Rosemead 18 1 P a n e
HOME -ARP ACTIVITIES
To respond to critical needs in Rosemead, the City will prioritize HOME -ARP funds for
homeless supportive services as defined as a qualifying population under the HOME -ARP
regulations. The City will solicit applications from qualified homeless providers specializing in
substance abuse cases and other supportive services including outreach, sheltering, mental health,
and case management.
The City of Rosemead seeks to foster positive experiences with homeless community, assess
homeless individuals, and guide the homeless towards the services they need most. Theses
supportive services will further advance compassionately, respectfully and with perseverance
a stronger, wider, and more effective approach to combatting homelessness in Rosemead.
The City of Rosemead will not directly administer HOME -ARP activities beyond program
administration and planning and no subrecipients or contractors are responsible for program
administration and planning on behalf of the City. Table 4 provides a summary of the proposed
use of the HOME -ARP funds.
Table 4 — Use of HOME -ARP Funding
The City of Rosemead will ensure that appropriate supportive services, such as housing
counseling, homelessness prevention, childcare, job training, legal services, case management,
moving costs, rental applications and rent assistance are provided to the homeless or those at risk
of becoming homeless.
