The City of Rosemead is required to prepare and submit an Annual Action Plan to HUD which serves to update and delineate efforts in meeting the priorities established in the five-year Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan is seen as an opportunity to reassess the City's 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. The City's entitlement allocation for FY 2023-24 is $668,149 in CDBG funding and $300,862 in HOME funds. As a recipient of CDBG funds, the City has also previously received Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG- CV) funds with a current balance of $468,715. The purpose of this public hearing is to provide the City Council and the public with an opportunity to comment on the programs and activities proposed in the FY 2023-2024 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, thereby addressing decent housing, creating a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities for the City's residents, particularly for low- and moderate - income persons. The current 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) was adopted by the City Council on April 28, 2020. AGENDA ITEM 3.A City Council Meeting May 9, 2023 Page 2 of 4 Federal regulations require the adoption of an Annual Action Plan to the Con Plan that operates on a single program year established by the City. 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 addition, at least 70 percent or more of the FY 2023-24 entitlement total must be used for activities benefiting low- and moderate -income residents of Rosemead. Of the HOME funds received, funds can only be used for housing activities benefiting low- or moderate -income persons.

After much deliberation and thought, the City is proposing that the activities shown in Attachment A be funded under the CDBG and HOME included in the City's Annual Action Plan for the FY 2023-24 (Attachment B). CDBG Program There are three broad funding categories that 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% ($100,222) of the annual grant amount can be used for public service; no more than 20% ($133,629) of the grant amount can be used for Planning and Administrative, and at least 65% ($460,837) of all funds must be used for low -to -moderate -income activities.

Introduction The Federal Housing and Community Act of 1974, as amended, created the CDBG and HOME programs to return federal funds to local communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing adequate housing and a suitable living environment and by expanding economic opportunities, specifically for low- and moderate -income persons. Grants are awarded to communities to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and the provision of Improved community facilities and services. For participation in the CDBG and HOME program, the federal government requires local jurisdictions to prepare a 5 -year Consolidated Plan document and state within Its plan the jurisdiction's goals and priorities. The City s current Consolidated Plan, covers Program years 2020-2024. The City Is also required to submit an Annual Action Plan for each of the five years covered In the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan serves the following functions: 1. A planning document forthe City of Rosemead; 2. An application for federal funds under HUD's formula grant programs; 3. An action plan that provides a strategy for carrying out goals and priorities (also serves as the City's annual application); and, 4. A basis for assessing performance. A section of the Consolidated Plan, called the one-year Action Plan, serves as the City's application to HUD for CDBG and HOME program funding. The City must submit an Action Plan annually to receive the entitlement money. The purpose of the Action Plan is to detail how the City will spend its annual allocation of funds to meet community needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. This report utilizes HUD's current standard template for producing the 2023-2024 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 2023-2024 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 to meet the objectives outlined in the plan. The Annual Action Plan will focus on goals established within the Five-year 2020- 2024 Consolidated Plan -Strategic Plan. 1IPage During the development of the Consolidated 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 (LACDA) 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 Consolidated 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. This Action Plan, which has been prepared for the 2023-24 Program Year, outlines proposed allocations for CDBG and HOME funding, and one-year goals which are intended to be met. The proposed funding allocations are provided in this report, and a detailed chart of all outcomes can be seen in the Annual Goals and Objectives section of this report (AP -20 and AP -38). 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, the Housing Division is able to identify operational improvements, resource allocation issues, and policy questions to be addressed in the upcoming year. Overall, the City of Rosemead and Its partners have been successful in implementing its fair housing programs 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 Community Development Department. 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The City launched a comprehensive outreach strategyto 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 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and encouraged public participation by hosting public meetings. 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. 2(Page Qualitative feedback collected through a community survey, and public hearings provided insight into priority needs in the community.

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 ensuringthat 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 $668,149 in Program Year (PY) 2023-2024 CDBG funds. 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 $300,862 in PY 2023-2024 HOME funds. 6)Page Z.

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 ratherthe extremely low- to moderate -income (0 to 80 percent of the MR) persons and families. The City wants to promote a balanced and integrated community and is committed to providing assistance throughoutthe 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 coverthe very most northern part and the Garvey district in the southern half of the City, below Highway 30. 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 bulk priorto 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 LM ISD 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 70 Table 65 - Geographic Distribution 20(Page 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 must use the HOME affordable homeownership limits provided by HUD when setting price limits for affordable home sales and when using HOME funds for home rehabilitation. Also, the use of funds for HOME assisted activities requires that the value of the property after rehabilitation must not exceed 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area. The HOME Final Rule offers two options for determ ining the 95 percent of median purchase price limit for owner -occupied single-family housing, as noted below: (1) HUD will provide limits for affordable housing based on 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area; OR (2) Perform a local market survey to determine the 95 percent of median purchase price limit. The City of Rosemead believes the 203(b) limits provided by HUD, for Los Angeles County, understate housing prices In Rosemead. Therefore, staff performed 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, townhomes, and manufactured housing) on all or nearly all of the one -family house sales in the entire City. The data must be presented in ascending order of sales price, and include the address of the listed properties and their locations within the City. The length of the reporting period varies with the volume of monthly home sales. If there are 500 or more housing sales per month within the 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 221Page number, the median Is established by the price of the middle sale. If the total number of sales is an even number, the higher of the two middle numbers is considered the median. Based on a comparison of local housing market listing prices and sales information, it was determined that the FHA limits do not accurately reflect current actual home purchase prices for the area. Therefore, a local market survey was conducted forthe City home sales for a four-month period using HDL data. This survey shows a median price for single family of $762,500 in the City and a 95 percent median value price of $724,375 for single family homes. The median condominiuum of $665,000 and a 95 percent median value price of $631,750 for condominium sales (see Home Sales data in Attachment A). 231 Page AP -60f 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 wart from 7 to 10 years, if not longer. Each applicant is selected from the waiting list in sequence, based upon the date of preliminary application and Voucher availability. Although there are no public housing units, there are several affordable housing developments. 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 50 one -bedroom units and 1 two-bedroom unit. 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 Con Plan. As mentioned earlier, the earliest possible conversion date for the Angeles Senior Apartment is February 7, 2050. Garvey Senior Apartments The Garvey Senior Apartment was completed in 2002 and is owned by the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation. It consists of 64 one -bedroom and 8 two-bedroom units. The term of the lease is for 55 years from the effective date of the Development Agreement between the Rosemead Community Development Commission, the City of Rosemead, and the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation or until October 30, 2057. 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 Con Plan. As mentioned earlier, the earliest possible conversion date for the Garvey Senior Apartment is October 30, 2057. 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-aslde 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 properties in the City. Both properties are restricted as rental, 241 Page property for low- to moderate -income households and are subject to a 55 year affordability covenant until May 2063 and March 2066, respectively. 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 avallability. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs for 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. 251Page 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 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and subsequent Annual Action Plans. The City Is relying on coordinated efforts with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) to provide shelter opportunities; the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition (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 sheiterservices and social services forfamllies with children, as well as other local agencies in providing services for homeless persons. The City of Rosemead has been awarded $1,222,084 of HOME -American Rescue Plan Act (HOME -ARP) funding by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds are to provide housing, services, and shelterto individuals experiencing homelessness and othervulnerable populations. 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 has solicited applications from qualified homeless providers specializing in substance abuse cases and othersupportive services including outreach, sheltering, mental health, and case management. Every year, LAHSA conducts a census of the homeless population through the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count. 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 Aslan, American Indian or Alaskan Native, or multi -racial. This data reflects a disproportionate prevalence of Hispanic or Latino, Black and African American, and white non -Hispanic people amongst those experiencing homelessness in Rosemead in comparison to the City's total population. Of the 84 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 261 Page 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. 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 and a Point -in -Time inventory of service projects within the Los Angeles Continuum of Care. The Housing Inventory Count records how many beds and units are dedicated to servingthe 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 2022 were 83 homeless individuals. The PITsurvey 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 City funds two public services organizations 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 rases. Family Promise located on San Gabriel Boulevard, in Rosemead provides food, shelter, and support services for homeless families. Counseling and homeless prevention services are provided for at -risk families. In 2021 Family Promise successfully found housing for 88 percent of its clients. In 2022-2023 Family Promise anticipates CDBG funding will assist 10 families. Outside of CDBG funding, the City also relies on EI Monte Access Center, located several miles outside of Rosemead to provide intake/assessment services, case management, and transportation assistance for homeless individuals. With the HOME -ARP funds, 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 271 Page stronger, wider, and more effective approach to combatting homelessness in Rosemead. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons. The Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (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 EI 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 Irving, 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 that provide emergency food, clothing, and referral services to low-income City residents; many of which are homeless or at -risk of homelessness. 281 Page AP i5iBarrlet Ao affordablQ housing 91€2200 Actions It planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. During the next year, the City will continue to work cooperatively within existing legislatively mandated constraints and work to develop or encourage public policies that foster further affordable housing development and assistance. 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 (Al) to Fair Housing Choice. 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 forfamllies purchasing homes for the first time. Expand local housing agencies' capacity for family placement services and 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 the above discussion. 291 Page AP -85 Other Actions -- 91.220(k) Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City plans to work with and partner with other agencies and development corporations to further the recommendations of the Al and affordable housing Initiatives. The City strives to reduce homelessness, maintain existing housing stock, and stimulate economic growth by funding commercial fa5ade 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 Con Plan's priority needs and goals, Mission Villas is an approved residential planned development project consisting of 37 residential units, located at 8601 Mission Drive. The development will incorporate four low-income units. 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 Rehabilitation Programs, the City will continue to provide each owner who participates with both oral and written information regarding the dangers of lead-based paint and what to do about it. Owners of properties constructed before 1978 will be required to meet certain lead-based paint requirements prior to being assisted. These requirements include the following: • Distribution of lead-based paint notification pamphlets to all households occupying assisted units. • Inspection of all properties for defective paint surfaces. • Abatement of all defective paint surfaces identified at the time of the inspection. Through the Rehabilitation Programs, financial assistance will be provided to eradicate the problem. Full abatement will be undertaken in all rehabilitation projects over $25,000. It is the responsibility of the City's Housing Division 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 301 Page file. In addition, the City requires clearance for all properties that fail an HQS inspection due to chipping, peeling, and cracking surfaces greaterthan 2 sq. ft. on the Interior and 20 sq. ft. on the exteriorof 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 receiving CDBG and/or HOME assistance. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families The City has established goals and policies designed to Improve the local economy and reduce the level of poverty within the community. The strategy is outlined In the following sections. Housing and Community Development The following programs and services are either funded in part by the City or exist within the City providing for the daily needs of residents. • Angelus/Garvey Senior Housing—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 • Residential Rehabilitation Programs—rehabilitation of a home • Vintage California Mission Inn—assisted living facilityfor 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 forwomen and children • Wealth by Health—heahh and wellbeing of underserved populations • Asian Youth Center—provides emergency food program 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 Fagade Improvement Program that will provide grants 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 311 Page impacted bythe COVID-10 pandemic. Low Income Housing Tax Credit Coordination (L/HTC) 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 for tax credits for the development of a housing project, the Housing Division staff will work with developers and non-profit agencies pro forma, serve as part of the team developing tax credit financing and will calculate the financing gap, along with the maximum and minimum subsidies. This will ensure that the City's HOME coordination will meet HOME requirements for the UHTC 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 continued coordination with the Continuum of Care (CoC) in the region. One of the largest challenges the City faces is the lack of funding to maintain community facilities and services currently offered. Management of the network of agencies, programs, and assistance available to residents is an ongoing and time-consuming taskthat requires a large number of City staff. Creating an institutional structure that can develop and share data on the progress and status of beneficiaries through the development of integrated information systems such as the Coordinated Entry System and CoC. These outside Institutions play a major rale 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 2023-2024 Action Plan 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 Action Plan. 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 Action Plan. The City is committed to extending and strengthening partnerships among all levels of government, nonprofits, and private sector.
