Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Each year between May and July, the City of Rosemead submits an Annual Action Plan (“Action Plan”)
covering the period July 1st of that year through June 30th of the following year to the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). An Action Plan is required by HUD in order for the City to
receive federal funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnership (HOME) programs. The Action Plan includes the proposed activities, resources and
expenditures for the CDBG and HOME programs. This is the fifth out of five Action Plans under the City’s
2015-2019 Consolidated Plan.
A more general summary of each project and each amount the City is proposing in the FY 2019-20 can
be found under section AP-20 Annual Goals and Objectives. In general, the City will continue to carry
out program administration, fair housing, residential programs, and public services that aid youth, at-
risk families, seniors, and the disabled. In addition, the City will continue to use a portion of CDBG funds
for its public facility and commercial improvements, which will principally take place in the City’s
adopted target/revitalization areas.
Substantial Amendment to include CARES Act
The City of Rosemead is proposing an amendment to the FY 2019-20 Annual Action Plan to include
Community Development Block Grant-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds received from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) made available through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (CARES Act) and to create and implement programs to address the impact of
coronavirus.
As a recipient of Community Block Development Grant (CDBG) funds, the City of Rosemead received
$972,328 in CDBG- CV funds from HUD. CDBG-CV funds must be used to prevent, prepare for, or
respond to the Coronavirus pandemic. HUD also provided for communities to accept several regulatory
waivers that facilitate the rapid use of CDBG-CV funds. The City received $528,646 in Round 1 and
$443,682 in Round 3.
The CARES Act adds additional flexibility for both the CDBG-CV grant and, in some cases, for the annual
FY2019 and FY2020 CDBG grants in these unprecedented times. The public comment period is reduced

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
to not less than 5 days, grantees may use virtual public hearings when necessary for public health
reasons, the public services cap is suspended during the emergency, and States and local governments
may reimburse costs of eligible activities incurred for pandemic response regardless of the date.
In addition, the CARES Act authorizes the HUD Secretary to grant waivers and alternative requirements
of statutes and regulations the HUD Secretary administers in connection with the use of CDBG-CV funds
and fiscal year 2019 and 2020 CDBG funds (except for requirements related to fair housing,
nondiscrimination, labor standards, and the environment). Waivers and alternative requirements can be
granted when necessary to expedite and facilitate the use of funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond
to coronavirus.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to

assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.
This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another
location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the
housing market analysis or the strategic plan.
The strategies and projects outlined in this plan are intended to benefit low and moderate- income
residents, improve distressed and blighted neighborhoods with high concentrations of low and
moderate-income residents and positively impact the city as a whole. These Strategies will be
coordinated with other federal and state grant programs and local initiatives to meet the objectives
outlined in the plan. The Annual Plan will focus on goals established in the Five-Year 2015-2019
Consolidated Plan Strategies (CPS).
During the development of the Annual Action Plan, the City sought input from residents to identify and
prioritize the various community needs. Furthermore, the City consulted with local public and private
service providers to assess the housing and community development needs of low to moderate-income
households and special needs households. The City consulted with the Housing Authority of the County
of Los Angeles and nonprofit organizations to determine funding needs for housing and services for
homeless persons, low to moderate-income persons, and low-income neighborhoods.
Priority areas of need as determined from public participation and research for the Consolidated Plan
include:
• Preserve the City’s existing affordable housing stock for Low and Moderate Incomes (0 to 80% of
MFI)
• Promote, Increase, Maintain Homeownership for Low and Moderate-Income Households
• Provide Safe, Affordable, Decent Housing for Renters with Low and Moderate Incomes

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Provide Transitional & Permanent Supportive Services for Homeless Persons
• Provide Supportive Services for Non-Homeless Persons with Special Needs
• Promote Fair Housing Among all Income Persons
3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or
projects.
The City of Rosemead is near the end of its fifth year of the 2015-2019 Five-Year Consolidated
Plan. Each year the City’s Community Development Department prepares a Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to report the progress of the Consolidated Plan
goals. Attached to the CAPER are project reports that show progress on goals established in the 2015-
2019 Consolidated Plan through the end of the program year.
In carrying out its Annual Action Plan, the City of Rosemead has made considerable progress toward
meeting priority needs. Many of the activities performed contribute to stabilizing the City’s lower
income neighborhoods and improving living conditions for individual, low to moderate-income families.
Improvements to housing and public infrastructure improve the appearance of neighborhoods and
create a more appealing environment. New housing development and homeownership programs
promote pride in ownership and long-term resident stability. Funding of non-profit facilities that serve
the homeless and other eligible recipients and neighborhoods help organizations better meet the needs
of their clients. Renovations were performed on owner-occupied housing eliminating blighted
conditions. The scope of the renovations varied depending on the program and households needs with
improvements ranging from health and safety improvements to full scale renovations. Homeownership
opportunities for low to moderate income persons remain a priority program for the City, however;
because of economic conditions, applications and completed projects have fluctuated over the years for
the First Time Homebuyer program. Housing, supportive services, and case management were provided
to homeless persons through several of the City’s subrecipients.
Additionally, emergency, transitional, and permanent support was provided based on client need. The
most recent past performance evaluation and reporting can be found in the FY 2017-18 Comprehensive
Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER). This report provides both summary and details of
resources, distribution and accomplishments for CDBG and HOME funded programs.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Summary from citizen participation section of plan.
Consultation with both public and private organizations that service residents of Rosemead by either
providing shelter/housing; own and manage housing for low income seniors and families; build housing
for low income seniors and families; and/or provide some type of services to populations with special
needs (i.e. elderly, homeless, disabled, etc.) has been an ongoing process since the development of the
original Consolidated Plan. Organizations receiving direct CDBG funding have been in regular contact
with City staff. Other organizations are consulted on an as needed basis, are invited to comment on the
draft Plan, or have been present at various public hearings held by the City.
The City conducted two public hearings. The first public hearing focuses on performance and the needs
of the community as they relate to housing, homelessness, and community development needs such as
infrastructure, improvements, and public services as well as to review Public Service applications for
funding. This hearing took place before the Rosemead City Council on March 26, 2019 at Rosemead City
Hall, where the Council received the Draft Action Plan and started the 30-day public comment period.
The second meeting was held May 14, 2019 to approve the Action Plan and took place in front of the
Rosemead City Council at Rosemead City Hall.

and the City of Rosemead’s Community Development Department Individuals were invited to attend the
public hearing that was held on May 14, 2019. The City did not receive any comments during this 30-
day review period from the community, agencies or organizations.

some cases, for the annual FY2019 and FY2020 CDBG grants in these unprecedented times. The
public comment period is reduced to not less than 5 days, grantees may use virtual public hearings
when necessary for public health reasons, the public services cap is suspended during the emergency,
and States and local governments may reimburse costs of eligible activities incurred for
pandemic response regardless of the date.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
The City will continue to use state and local funds to leverage federal entitlement dollars, including but not limited to:
• City General Funds (Code Enforcement & Senior Nutrition Services)
• In-kind Donations
Also, the following service providers budgeted additional federal and non-federal funds to their activities through funding from other cities, in-

kind donations, United Way and other charitable organizations, and the Federal and State governments:
• Family Promise
• Southern California Housing Rights Center
In 2018-19, the City was a 50% HOME match reduction community and was required to provide a 12.5% match of non-federal funds towards
eligible disbursements completed during that FY. It is assumed that the City will continue to be a 50% HOME match reduction community in FY
2019-20, and, therefore, still be subject to the 12.5% match requirement.

needs
The City of Rosemead faces a number of potential obstacles in meeting affordable housing and
community development needs and underserved needs through the CDBG and HOME program which
includes lack of affordable land for housing development, funding constraints to address community
development needs, and continued reductions for CDBG, HOME, and other federal funding sources in
each fiscal year.
The City will continue to look for non-traditional ways to develop affordable housing units and meet
community development needs; work to combine funding sources and leverage private funds to
develop affordable housing; and, to work with the federal government to ensure that sufficient funding
continues in order to meet needs.

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% 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, 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% of persons will benefit from the activities. The LMI
Census tracts include 4823.03, 4824.01, the eastern portion of 4336.01, 4823.04, 4825.02, 4825.03, the
northern portion of 4824.02, and 4336.02. 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 Rosemead 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 in
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.
The new Low and Moderate-Income Summary Data (LMISD), resulting from the 2000 Census, became
effective on July 1, 2003. The LMISD is the data that the City uses for our official determinations of
activity compliance with the low and moderate-income area benefit national objective, in accordance
with the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and the CDBG regulations.
Because timely use of this data is required by regulation, changes to the City's existing service area
boundaries would need to be approved by the City Council. Each year, through the adoption of the
City's Annual Action Plan, the City Council approves the service area boundaries (shown in Appendix C)
as the City's official low and moderate-income "Target Areas" and "Deteriorating Areas".
The City has traditionally used 80% or more of its CDBG resources to benefit these special areas and/or
to operate programs available exclusively to low and moderate-income people (whereas HUD
regulations only require a minimum 70% low/mod benefit level for CDBG activities). To continue to
Annual Action Plan
2019
43
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 target CDBG resources to these special geographic
areas.

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.

Introduction
The demand for affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households in Rosemead has been
persistent, as the analyses in the Consolidated Plan have demonstrated. The City
established maintenance of affordable housing as a high priority need and established a goal of
rehabilitating 50 owner-occupied housing units in order to maintain the City’s stock of affordable units
over the five-year period of the Consolidated Plan. In addition, the City is focusing on creating new
affordable units in cooperation with an affordable housing developer.

Discussion
The City of Rosemead anticipates assisting 10 low to moderate-income homeowners through the
Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program, 2 low to moderate-income first-time homebuyers with the
purchase of a home, and the acquisition of land for 1 low to moderate-income Veterans Housing
Project. Low to moderate-income is defined as 0 to 80% of the MFI.
The City of Rosemead uses HOME funds for homebuyer assistance and rehabilitation of owner-occupied
single-family properties. 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
Annual Action Plan
2019
45
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Final Rule offers two options for determining 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. After
review of the published 2019 HOME affordable homeownership limits provided by HUD, for Los
Angeles County for determining 95 percent of the median purchase price limit, it was
determined that the median price for Rosemead homes is $451,000. For a newly constructed
unit, the limit is $491,000. Based on FHA standard practice, the following multipliers are used
for 2-, 3-, and 4-unit properties: 1.28, 1.55, and 1.92 times the 1-unit limit respectively. 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 Rosemead home sales for a three-month
period using HdL data. This survey shows a median price of $550,000 in the City of Rosemead
and a 95% median value price of $522,500 (see three-month home sales data table in the
attachments).As a result of this conclusion, it is our recommendation that the City of Rosemead
use the local market survey price as the determinant of the 95 percent median purchase price
limit as it is higher than the FHA-Market Median Price.In addition to HOME to provide affordable
housing, Rosemead 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. The new mixed-use project at the intersection of
Garvey Avenue and Earle Avenue will allow for 20% of 35 apartments to be low-income with the
City’s density bonus.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
There are no public housing projects in the City. The City works with the Housing Authority of the
County of Los Angeles who provides rental assistance to the residents of Rosemead through the Federal
Section 8 Voucher program. The primary objective of this program is to assist low-income (0 to 50% of
MFI) persons and households in making rents affordable. There is currently a lengthy waiting list for the
Section 8 Program with the average wait from seven to ten years, if not longer. Each applicant is
selected from the waiting list in sequence, based upon date of preliminary application and Voucher
availability. As shown below, there are four (4) housing developments that have received mortgage
assistance with the help of Federal, State, or local funds.
Angelus Senior Apartments - The Angelus Senior Apartment was completed in 1995 and is owned by
the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation. It consists of 51 one-bedroom units. The term of the
lease 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% of the area median income adjusted for household size. The income limits are reviewed
every year and are subject to change without prior notice.
Risk of Conversion: The risk of conversion will not be an issue during the next five years of the
Consolidated 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-bedrooms and 8 two
bedrooms. 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% of the
area median income adjusted for household size. The income limits are reviewed every year and are
subject to change without prior notice.
Risk of Conversion: The risk of conversion will not be an issue during the next five years of the
Consolidated 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 - In FY 2007-08 and FY 2010-11, the City entered into
agreements with Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation (RHCDC) for the production of
affordable housing using the 15% CHDO set-aside funding as required under the HOME entitlement
grant. As a result, the City approved two (2) separate 0% deferred payment loans for the purchase of

two (2) three-bedroom rental property in Rosemead. 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.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
As mentioned in the Introduction to this section, the City works closely with the Housing Authority of
the County of Los Angeles who provides rental assistance to the residents of Rosemead through the
Federal Section 8 Voucher program. In addition, the City coordinates with and funds public service
providers that provide homeless families in the region with shelter and food, while helping them find
work, housing and regain and sustain their independence.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
Given the limited resources and small amount of homeless in the City of Rosemead, homeless activities
have been given a low priority in the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan and subsequent annual action plans.
The City is relying on coordinated efforts with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) to
provide shelter opportunities; the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless to provide
information, counseling, and referral services to homeless persons that reside in Rosemead; Family
Promise of San Gabriel Valley to provide emergency shelter services and social services for families with
children; as well as other local agencies in providing services for homeless persons.
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, on January 23, 2019, volunteers
participated in the homeless count for Rosemead. The count reported 25 unsheltered persons, 2 living in
cars, 3 living in vans, 3 in campers or recreational vehicles (RVs), 2 living in tents, and 3 living in
makeshift shelters. The amount of homeless in 2019 has decreased from the amount in 2018. The
homeless count for the City of Rosemead in 2018 revealed 81 unsheltered and zero sheltered persons.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City will work with the above agencies to reach out to homeless persons and assess their individual
needs. 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 7.
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. Family Promise is in SPA 7. The PIT
count at Family Promise for 2018 reported 14 as the number of beds for households with children and 4
as the number of units for households with children; the population of homeless persons in the program
on the night of the homeless count was 10, the percentage of total beds that were in use on the night
of the homeless count was 71%, and the percentage of total units that were in use on the night of the
Annual Action Plan
2019
49
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Homeless Count was 75%. The utilization rates revealed there is availability of accommodations,
however it may not always be used to capacity. Amounts for 2019 will be released later this year.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City provides an annual allocation of CDBG funds toward the operation of Family Promise of San
Gabriel Valley, a homeless shelter for families with children located in the City of Rosemead. This year
the City expects this investment of CDBG funds will benefit 5 families. The City will also work with
LAHSA and the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless to address emergency shelter and
transitional housing needs of homeless persons.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
As stated above, the City is relying on coordinated efforts with LAHSA, the East San Gabriel Valley
Coalition for the Homeless, and Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley to make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and
families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable
housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming
homeless again.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
In addition to the agencies above, the City will continue to seek and work with local non-profit
agencies who provide emergency food, clothing, and referral services to low-income Rosemead

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The City of Rosemead is committed to addressing the negative effects of public policies over which it has
control. In order to promote integration and prevent low-income concentrations, the City designed its
affordable housing programs to be available Citywide. This priority also serves to make sure that the
City does not have any policies, rules, or regulations that would lead to minority or racial concentrations.
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
Over the years, Rosemead has demonstrated a willingness to encourage housing development of all
types. It has approved several zone changes and Code amendments to allow for development of a
variety of housing types, including those that benefit low and moderate-income people. It also makes
an effort to fast-track projects and process permits in a timely manner. The City maintains its current
posture of openness and willingness to entertain new ideas and eliminate any regulatory barriers under
its control in the provision of a variety of housing to meet the needs of all income groups. As mentioned,
Rosemead has incorporated density bonuses into its Zoning Ordinance to incentivize developers to
provide housing units affordable to low to moderate income households by allowing higher densities in
zoning districts otherwise zoned for lower densities. Other zoning now allows for transitional housing in
all residential districts. Emergency shelters are now permitted in light industrial areas of the City. The
mentioned zoning is a recent change to the City’s Zoning Ordinance and is an of example of one of the
City’s efforts to lift barriers to housing that is affordable to persons with low to moderate incomes.
In addition, the City continues to work cooperatively within existing legislatively mandated constraints
and worked to develop and/or encourage public policies that foster further affordable housing
development and assistance.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
The City of Rosemead plans to undertake additional actions throughout to further address obstacles to
meeting underserved needs, fostering and maintaining affordable housing, reducing the number of
poverty level families, and removing barriers to affordable housing.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City of Rosemead faces a number of potential obstacles in meeting affordable housing and
community development needs and underserved needs through the CDBG and HOME program which
includes lack of affordable land for housing development, funding constraints to address community
development needs, and continued reductions for CDBG, HOME, and other federal funding sources in
each fiscal year.
The City will continue to look for non-traditional ways to develop affordable housing units and meet
community development needs; work to combine funding sources and leverage private funds to
develop affordable housing; and, to work with the federal government to ensure that sufficient funding
continues in order to meet needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City of Rosemead will foster and maintain affordable rental and owner-occupied housing through
the different programs funded with CDBG and HOME funds. Successful implementation of these efforts
relies on the collaborative effort of many community partners including public agencies, government,
housing developers, non-profit agencies, and neighborhoods. The City will use its own City newsletter
and website, as well as community events to promote these services, and to promote its housing and
community service programs.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As of FY 2001-02, the City of Rosemead began implementing the new HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations
(Title X), which requires all federally assisted housing programs, including rehabilitation,
homeownership, and tenant-based subsidy systems, to address lead hazards.
The City will continue its program of education and eradication of lead-based paint through the
Annual Action Plan
2019
53
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
operation of its Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs and Down Payment Assistance Loan
Program. These two programs provided assistance to low-income homeowners; the target groups most
likely to be living in older housing with lead-based paint.
The City has procured the service of a State Certified Lead Consultant to provide the following:
• Lead-based paint and soil inspection
• Lead-based paint risk assessment
• Lead-based paint hazard reduction monitoring
• Post-hazard reduction clearance test
Under the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, the City will continue to provide each owner who
participates with both oral and written information regarding the dangers of lead-based paint and what
to do about it. Owners of properties constructed prior to 1978 will be required to meet certain lead-
based paint requirements prior to being assisted. These requirements include the following:
• Distribution of lead-based paint notification pamphlets to all households occupying assisted
units.
• Inspection of all properties for defective paint surfaces.
• Abatement of all defective paint surfaces identified at the time of the inspection.
Through the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, financial assistance will be provided to eradicate
the problem. Full abatement will be undertaken in all rehabilitation projects over $25,000. It is the
responsibility of the City's Housing Coordinator to ensure that properties constructed prior to 1978
meet the lead-based paint requirements and any abatement of defective paint surfaces are completed
by contractors certified by the State of California Department of Health Services. A copy of the
contractor's certification is kept on file.
The Down Payment Assistance Loan Program will also provide participants with oral and written
information regarding the dangers of lead-based paint. The selected units will undergo a Housing
Quality Standards (HQS) inspection that checks for danger of lead-based paint and will require any
peeling, cracking, flaking, paint and/or chewable surfaces to be properly treated. The City personnel
responsible for conducting the visual inspection of the units for HQS compliance have completed the
Visual Assessment Course and received the proper course completion certification.
In addition, the City requires clearance for all properties that fail an HQS inspection due to chipping,
peeling, cracking surfaces greater than 2 sq. ft. on the interior and 20 sq. ft. on the exterior of the unit or
in common areas. A risk assessment will be required to be completed by a certified risk assessor
whenever the City is notified that a child with an environmental intervention blood lead level (EIB) plans

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
to live in a unit under the Down Payment Assistance Loan Program.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City has established goals and policies designed to improve the local economy and reduce the level
of poverty within the community. The strategy is outlined in the following sections.
Housing and Community Development
• Angelus/Garvey Senior Housing – rental assistance for seniors
• Dial-A-Ride - transportation service for seniors and disabled
• Down Payment Assistance Program – purchase of first home
• Fair Housing Services - landlord/tenant information and assistance
• Family Promise – homeless services for families
• Garvey Community Center/Rosemead Community Recreation Center - variety of services
including counseling services, social service programs, recreational programs, and information
and referral services
• Housing Authority County of Los Angeles County – rental assistance
• Merci - supported employment and living, independent living, and community inclusion services
for those with severe to profound developmental disabilities
• Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs - rehabilitation of home
• Senior Nutrition Program - nutritious meals
• Vintage California Mission Inn - assisted living facility for seniors and disabled
• YMCA of West San Gabriel Valley – variety of services including child care, after-school
enrichment, youth leadership and development, mentoring and tutoring, youth and adult
sports, fitness, camping, and family support activities
• YWCA – Wings - emergency shelter for women and children
Economic Development - The City provides the Commercial Façade Improvement Program to support
activities that promote economic development including the Business Attraction/Retention
Program. Through this program, the City attracts new businesses as well as retaining the current
businesses within Rosemead.
Low Income Housing Tax Credit Coordination (LIHTC) - Currently, the City uses CDBG funds and HOME
funds for affordable housing development. The City has participated in one tax credit development
project. The City has a HOME-funded development fund. As part of that, there may be additional
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

2019
55
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
and will calculate the financing gap, along with the maximum and minimum subsidies. This will ensure
that the City’s HOME coordination will meet HOME requirements for the LIHTC program.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of Rosemead is governed by a five-member City Council. The City Council reviews, holds
hearings, approves the funding priorities, and approves the submission of the Action Plan to HUD. The
City’s Community Development Department is the lead agency in the coordination of the Action Plan. It
coordinates the economic activities, develops and implements the programs that rehabilitate and
preserve the neighborhoods, develops and rehabilitates affordable housing, and provides rental
assistance to the very low-income and special-needs segments of the City's population.
While the Community Development Department has the major responsibility for the Action Plan
budgeting, project formulation, and program implementation, other City departments, government
agencies, social service agencies, and Rosemead residents play an important role. There are several
inter-departmental programs, primarily in the area of neighborhood quality of life that are composed of
a wide variety of City agencies. All are funded through the CDBG or HOME as a funding source; but in
many cases, departmental funds and other funding augment and leverage Action Plan Resources.
Guidelines for expenditure of CDBG and HOME funds are provided as needed or when changes to
programs occur. Periodically, the Community Development Department provides departments and City-
related agencies with training in HUD grant regulations.
There are many organizations that actively collaborate in the areas of housing, homeless services, and
community and economic development, and coordinate closely in both the preparation and
implementation of the Action Plan. The City, for its part, will promote and encourage fair housing,
housing assistance, and single-family home rehabilitation.
One of the biggest challenges facing the City is the lack of or ever-decreasing amount of funds available
in maintaining and furthering housing and community development goals. In addition, foundation giving
is declining. A related challenge is the need for better coordination and cooperation between the City
and social service and health providers. For homeless activities, a seamless approach to provision of
transitional and permanent housing services requires that such providers be actively involved in each
facet of the Continuum of Care. However, other housing activities, such as rehabilitation, demolition of
abandoned or hazardous units, acquisition of sites for potential single family and multifamily affordable
housing, home ownership assistance, and new construction need to be integrated within the social
service and health provider community as well.
The key to a strong institutional structure is the ability to develop and share data on the progress and
status of beneficiaries through the development of integrated information systems. There are now
several data information systems in place that, to various degrees, track the progress of a variety of
Annual Action Plan
2019
56
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
beneficiaries from initial intake, through provision of services, and to completion of participation.
Institutions playing a major role in delivery of community development programs often have different
mandates, and consequently different priorities and strategies to achieve them. These mandates are
most often imposed by Congress and reflected through the regulations of federal funding agencies. In
several cases, goals may overlap or conflict.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City will carry out this Action Plan through various organizations including a number of social service
agencies funded through CDBG grant funds (Family Promise, Morrison Health Care - Senior Nutrition
Provider, and Southern California Housing Rights). In addition, various City departments will work
together to achieve the goals of this Action Plan, including the Community Development
Department, Public Works Division and the Finance Department.
The City also works with the State, other local governments (County of Los Angeles), private industry
construction contractors, non-profit organizations and social service providers to provide community,
housing, and social service programs and projects. The City is committed to extend and strengthen
partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and non-profit
organizations. The means of cooperation and coordination with these various groups will continue to
enhance the services provided to our residents.
Discussion:
While the primary actors in the Action Plan process is the City Council, and the Community Development
Department, there are a significant number of City agencies and departments that oversee a wide
variety of grants and programs that provide services to low and moderate-income City residents and
play an important role in implementing the Action Plan as mentioned above.

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

addition, Community Development staff works closely with Code Enforcement staff in making field visits
to homes that have a code, building, or health & safety violations. Applications for either program can
be accessed through the City's website or by visiting City Hall.
All Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan applications and First Time Homebuyer applications are
submitted to the City’s Community Development Department, Housing Division and placed on a waiting
list on a first-come, first-served basis. The waiting list is maintained by date. When funds become
available applicants are selected from the top of the waiting list. Each time a group of applications are
selected from the waiting list, processing priority will be given only under the Owner-Occupied
Rehabilitation Loan program to applicants who have been deemed by the Public Safety Department as
having code, building, or health & safety violations that require immediate assistance.
