CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.
91.520(a)
The City of Rosemead has prepared the 2020-2021 Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report (CAPER) as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) which describes the use of federal Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnership funds during the first program year of the 2020-
2024 Consolidated Plan period, covering July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn,
implements projects and awards grants to nonprofit, for-profit or public organizations for
projects in furtherance of the adopted Consolidated Plan. The CDBG and HOME programs
generally provides for a range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income
Rosemead residents.
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21 Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER)
captures the expenditures, accomplishments, and progress made on the strategies and goals
outlined in the approved FY 2020-2024 5-year Consolidated Plan. The CAPER outlines
achievements in affordable housing, non-housing, and community development programs.
Each activity funded under the FY 2020-21 CDBG program must have met one of the three
national objectives: principal benefit to low-and moderate-income persons; elimination or
prevention of slums and blight; or meeting community development needs having a
particular urgency.
HOME funds are used enhance the quality of life for Rosemead residents by funding activities that
provide safe, decent and affordable housing. The City continues to face significant problems as the
number of low-income Rosemead residents increase and the costs of providing affordable housing
skyrocket. The housing stock is aging and many residents continue to pay more than 50% of their
income towards housing expenses. Yet, in spite of these obstacles, the City strives to develop a viable
community principally for low- and moderate-income residents by preserving and rehabilitating
existing housing stock, promoting affordable housing and expanding affordable housing stock.
The CDBG and HOME Programs made significant progress in meeting the annual goals. This report
will demonstrate how the City achieved its housing non-housing priorities of fair housing and public
services programs were met. In evaluating the effectiveness of serving low- and moderate-income
2 | Page
residents, the City is pleased to report that CDBG funds were expended on eligible activities
benefiting low- and moderate-income residents.
All HOME funding beneficiaries were persons of low and –moderate-income residents. The City is
proud of its achievements during PY 2020 and looks forward to serving its residents in PY 2021. We
remain confident that we will increase our level of performance as we continue exploring innovative
opportunities to improve the quality of life of our low- and moderate- income citizens.
Under the 2020 federal stimulus plan - CARES Act, the City received $972,328 in CDBG-CV funds
to be used for activities that prevent, prepare for, or respond to the impacts of COVID- 19. The City
Council allocated those funds to an economic development program to assist small business suffering
from hardship due to COVID- 19, assist low- and moderate -income persons to prevent, prepare for,
and respond to COVID- 19, including a food distribution assistance program.
Table 1 provides a summary of the five-year and one-year accomplishments for the period ending June
30, 2021, arranged by each of the Strategic Plan Goals included in the 2020-2024 Strategic Plan of
the Consolidated Plan.

Assess how the jurisdiction's use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.
The outcomes reported in the table above are based on activities that were completed in the HUD
Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) during the 2020 program year, July 1, 2020
- June 30, 2021. Table 1 provides information regarding annual goals, activities, and accomplishments
for the FY 2020 program year.
As seen in Table 1, during the FY 2020 program year, the City was lower than its overall annual
expectations for affordable housing (i.e. owner-occupied rehabilitation, first time homebuyer
assistance, and rental housing). Regarding homeownership, the City continues to be faced with several
challenges, which included the ongoing reduction in public and private resources, land at affordable
prices for affordable housing development, and funding constraints to address community
development needs. All of which were factors that influenced the strategic outcomes for HOME
funded homebuyer activity. Additionally, since the dissolution of the Rosemead Community
Development Commission (aka Rosemead Redevelopment Agency), the City's ability to provide the
additional needed financial support to the City's Community Housing Development Organization
(CHOO) continued to make it difficult to purchase additional rental housing for low- to moderate-
income persons. The City will be addressing these shortfalls in the next fiscal year.
During the program year, the City and local nonprofit organizations made progress on several 2020-
2021 activities. All CDBG funded activities addressed specific high priority objectives identified in
the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
The majority of CDBG funds available in the 2020-2021 Action Plan were allocated to public service
activities carried out by nonprofit organizations during the Program Year including fair housing
services, homelessness prevention services, and other public services benefitting low- and moderate-
income residents.
All the activities funded during the program year are listed in Figure 1, including the amount of CDBG
funds allocated to the activity and the amount spent as of June 30, 2021. Figure 2 provides the numeric
accomplishment goal and the accomplishments as of June 30, 2021.

Narrative
In FY 2020-21, the City allocated $754,104 in CDBG and $356,613 in HOME funds for housing
and non-housing community development activities.
The CARES Act was signed by President Trump on March 27, 2020 to respond to the growing
effects of the coronavirus health crisis. The CARES Act made available CDBG-CV funds to
entitlement jurisdictions. In addition, the CARES Act provides some flexibility and waivers with
regard to CDBG-CV.
The City received $972,328 in CDBG-CV1 funds. These funds were submitted as amendment to
the 2019-20 One-Year Annual Action Plan.

Areas" (i.e., those areas where at least 51% of the residents have income at or below 80% of the
area median income as adjusted for family size) has been attached. Most activities funded in FY
2020-21 were considered "citywide". Activities such as homeownership, housing rehabilitation,
and public service activities provided services where needed and requested. Likewise, a service
that is provided to all lower income persons is based on presumed benefit and need without regard
for area benefit (i.e. senior and homeless services). These "citywide" activities were not directed
to any one geographical area to promote a balanced and well-integrated community.

Leveraging Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly
owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs
identified in the plan.
The City has continuously sought public and private resources to leverage its entitlement funds in
assisting with implementation of policies and programs to implement the Consolidated Plan.
Federal Resources and Program Funds Used - The goal expressed in the Action Plan for FY 2020-21 was
to maximize use of available resources by committing to projects that are financially feasible and assist
the greatest number of people and families. To this end, three resources were utilized during the FY
2020-21: the CDBG Program, CDBG-CV Program, and the HOME Program.
Non-Federal Resources and Program Funds Used - The City of Rosemead's General Fund contributed
funding as leverage during the FY 2020-21 to assist in the funding of the Senior Nutrition Program.
Leveraging of non-Federal Resources - The City of Rosemead's General Fund contributed funding as
leverage during the FY 2020-21 to assist in the funding of Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley,
Morrison Health Care (Senior Nutrition Provider), and Southern California Housing Rights Center.
Matching Contributions - The City has no required HOME match requirement of non-federal funds
towards eligible disbursements. When a local jurisdiction meets one of the distress criteria, it is
determined to be in fiscal distress and receives a 50 percent reduction of match. If a local jurisdiction
satisfies both distress criteria, it is determined to be in severe fiscal distress and receives a 100 percent
reduction of match. Rosemead is determined to meet the fiscal distress criteria.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.
The outcomes reported above are based on activities that were completed in the HUD Integrated
Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) during this reporting period. The one-year goals set
for CDBG and HOME funded programs were based on available resources, funding commitments
and historical construction development trends. A continued reduction in public and private
resources, and loss of income for already financially challenged low-income households due to
the COVID-19 pandemic were factors that influenced the outcomes relative to the decrease of
affordable housing and homeownership.

Patterns of actual investment compared to planned investment patterns for FY 2020-21
Investment during the fiscal year occurred as planned. The planned investment in the community
included owner-occupied single-family home rehabilitation, rental assistance, new construction of
non-rehab able housing units, first-time homebuyer, and CHDO participation.
Housing Rehabilitation – The City offered the following Programs during 2020-2021:
• Emergency Grant Program
• Grant Program
• Rebate Program
• Lead/Asbestos Testing
• Rehabilitation Loans
The City complete three Handworker grants during the FY 2020-21. We will be re-evaluating this
program during the 2021-2022 fiscal year.
Tenant Assistance - 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 of Rosemead 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.
Through the CDBG-CV funds, the City was able to assist 17 households with their rent.
New Construction - There was no new construction of housing units during the fiscal year.
First-Time Home Buyer Down Payment Assistance - The City provides HOME funds to assist low
and moderate-income residents with the purchase of their first home. The cost of the property
cannot exceed 95% of the area median purchase price as established by HUD or approved by HUD.
For FY 2020-2021 the limit for a single-family residence was $603,250. The City did not fund any
applicants during the FY 2020-21. We will be re-evaluating this program during the 2021-2022 fiscal
year.
Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) - The City did not enter an agreement with
a CHDO to produce affordable housing during the FY20-21. The City hopes to have a qualified CHDO
next fiscal year to start an affordable housing project.
16 | Page
Section 215 - The City did not assist any Section 215 household.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
Future annual action plans will continue to consider funding priorities based on housing
needs that are supported by market data. The City will continue monitoring the progress of
projects that have been funded, but not closed, as well as projects that are underway but
delayed due to various circumstances, one being the coronavirus pandemic. Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity.

Efforts to Address Worst Case Needs
Worst case housing needs are defined as low income (0 to 50% of MFI) renter households who
pay more than half their income for rent, live in seriously substandard housing (which includes
homeless people) or have been involuntarily displaced. To address worst case housing needs,
several programs and services were offered during the fiscal year. These include the following:
Family Promise -Family Promise assists families and children experiencing homelessness by
providing temporary transitional housing as well as a full range of social services for clients.
Section 8 Housing Assistance Agency - The Los Angeles County Development Authority
(LACDA) 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. LACDA serves the City of Rosemead
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.
YWCA (Wings) - The YWCA provides emergency shelter for women and children who become
homeless as a result of domestic violence. Services include 24-hour access to emergency housing and
17 | Page
crisis hotline, food and basic personal items, crisis support and advocacy, counseling and support
groups, medical and legal advocacy, and specialized children's services.
The City also offered several rehabilitation programs to disabled residents who own and occupy their
home. These programs include grants, emergency grants, rebates, and deferred loans. Eligible
improvements include retrofit activities to help with a person's needs. During the fiscal year, the City
did not serve any disabled households.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220{d, e); 91.320{d, e);
91.520{c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction's progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Homeless services are largely provided through the local Continuum of Care but are supported
by the City of Rosemead through continued funding to one public service agency (i.e. Family
Promise) to carry out this work. Additionally, the City developed a City Homeless Plan. This
Plan identified gaps and provides a roadmap to address the gaps.
The Los Angeles Homeless Service Agency (LAHSA) conducts a Point-In-Time (PIT) Count
every year to measure the amount of people experiencing homelessness on a specific day. This
year's count was conducted in January 2020. It was estimated that 79 people were experiencing
homelessness in the City of Rosemead at the PIT Count, while all the people accounted for were
in unsheltered areas.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
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 Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority to address emergency shelter and
transitional housing needs of people experiencing homelessness.
The Los Angeles Homeless Service Agency recorded no people in shelters at the PIT Count.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after 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); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing,
health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
In addition to all the agencies previously listed, the City continued to seek and work with local non-
profit agencies who provided emergency food and clothing. The City continued referring low- income
19 | Page
Rosemead residents to services, which many are experiencing homelessness or at-risk of
homelessness. Furthermore, the City adopted a local eviction moratorium ordinance early in the
Presidential declaration of National State of Emergency due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. This
prevented countless families in Rosemead from becoming homeless due to inability to pay rent.
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 previously stated, the City relied on coordinated efforts with the Los Angeles Homeless Service
Authority 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 experiencing homelessness, facilitating access to
affordable housing units for homeless individuals and families, and preventing those who experienced
homelessness becoming homeless again.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken 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. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
As indicated in the Consolidated Plan, most of the constraints that affect opportunities for the
provision of affordable housing result from the lack of available land, sufficient financial
resources for the development of affordable units, and the slow growth of income relative to
increasing housing prices. The provision of new housing is restrictive, considering that the City
of Rosemead is substantially built-out.
The City of Rosemead is committed to addressing the negative effects of public policies over which
it has control. 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.
Rosemead continued to demonstrate a willingness to encourage housing development of all types. The
comprehensive zoning code update that was done in 2013 to incorporate “Density Bonus” complied
with SB 1818, but the code has yet to be amended to accommodate low -and moderate income.
Rosemead also tried to fast-track projects and process permits in a timely manner. The City maintained
its current posture of openness and willingness to entertain new ideas and eliminate any regulatory
barriers under its control in the provision of a variety of housing to meet the needs of all income groups.
In addition, the City continued 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.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
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
low- and moderate-income residents. Housing and community development needs in the
community far exceed the funding resources available. Seniors (especially frail elderly persons)
and at-risk youth in need of supportive services, low-income households seeking decent and
affordable housing, and low-income homeowners residing in deteriorating housing are among the
City's worst-case needs.
22 | Page
With the California Supreme Court decision on AB1X26 and AB1X27, Redevelopment Agencies in
California had been dissolved as of February 1, 2012, and unencumbered tax increment funds had to
be returned to the State. With the dissolution of the Rosemead Community Development Commission,
the City's ability to support housing and community development efforts was greatly compromised.
Given the limited funding level, the City focuses the CDBG and HOME funds on a few projects to
achieve more sustainable impacts on the community. Over 78.50 percent of the housing stock in the
City is at least 40 years old and requires rehabilitation. Therefore, the City has allocated a significant
portion of the CDBG and HOME budgets for housing rehabilitation assistance. These programs are
intended to make noticeable impacts on the housing and neighborhood conditions for low- and
moderate-income households.
As previously stated, the key obstacle to addressing the underserved needs is the lack of funding. While
many Rosemead renters aspire to become homeowners, the City does not have adequate funds to
operate a robust Homebuyer Assistance program. Additionally, the HUD approved max purchase price
for Rosemead is still quite low making very few properties eligible to be purchased under the City’s
First Time Homebuyer program.
The City is always seeking 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 taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.3200}
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.
During the FY 2020-21, the City continued its program of education and eradication of lead-based
paint through the operation of its Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs and Down Payment
Assistance Loan Program. These two programs target groups most likely to be living in older housing
with lead-based paint.
The City also procured the service of a State Certified Lead Consultant to provide the following
services:
• Lead-based paint and soil inspection
• Lead-based paint risk assessment
23 | Page
• Lead-based paint hazard reduction monitoring
• Post-hazard reduction clearance test.
Under the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, the City continued to provide each owner who
participated 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 were 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 that are identified at the time of the inspection.
Through the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, financial assistance will be provided to
eliminate the problem. Full abatement is undertaken in all rehabilitation projects over $25,000. It is
the responsibility of the City to ensure that properties constructed prior to 1978 met the lead-based
paint requirements and any abatement of defective paint surfaces were completed by contractors
certified by the State of California Department of Health Services. A copy of the contractor's
certification will be kept on file.
The Down Payment Assistance Loan Program also provided participant with oral and written
information regarding the dangers of lead-based paint. The selected units underwent a Housing Quality
Standards (HQS) inspection that checks for danger of lead-based paint and required 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 will complete the Visual
Assessment Course and received the proper course completion certification.
In addition, the City would require 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 would be required to be completed by a certified
risk assessor whenever the City is notified that a child with an environmental intervention blood
lead level (EIB) plans to live in a unit under the Down Payment Assistance Loan Program.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The COVID-19 pandemic presented an immediate impact economically throughout the City of
Rosemead. However, the City’s established goals and policies designed to improve the local economy
and reduce the level of poverty within the community remained. The strategies are 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
Los Angeles County Development Authority- rental assistance
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 childcare, after-school enrichment,
youth leadership and development, mentoring and tutoring, youth and adult sports, fitness, camping,
and family support activities
YWCA- Wings - emergency shelter for women and children
Economic Development - The City of Rosemead established a Small Business Assistance Program
(SBAP). The SBAP is designed to address the adverse impacts of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-
19) to the economy, including jobs and businesses. SBAP grants will support small businesses
undergoing financial hardship due to a loss or reduction in revenue directly related to COVID-19.
The City offered support for activities that promote economic development including the Business
Attraction/Retention Program and Commercial Facade Improvement Program. The City initiated a new
Job Creation and Business Incentive Program designed to assist new and existing businesses through
the provision of financial assistance. Financial assistance was offered in a form of a forgivable, no
interest loan that is predicated on the creation of new jobs for low-and moderate-income persons.
Maximum assistance under the program was $50,000. One permanent, full-time equivalent position
for low-and moderate-income persons was required per $25,000 loan or portion there-of above
25 | Page
$25,000. Through these programs, the City hoped to attract 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 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 worked with developers and non-profit agency's pro forma,
served as part of the team developing tax credit financing, and calculated 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 taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The implementation of the FY 2020-21 Action Plan was highly dependent upon the support and
cooperation of numerous levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and non-
profit organizations. To eliminate gaps in institutional structures and to enhance coordination, the
City remains actively involved with outside agencies and regional governmental entities, especially
in the area of economic development. The City 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 was the lead agency in the
coordination of the Action Plan. It coordinated the economic activities, developed and
implemented the programs that rehabilitated and preserved the neighborhoods, developed and
rehabilitated affordable housing, and provided rental assistance to the very low-income and
special-needs segments of the City's population.
While the City Manager’s office had the major responsibility for the Action Plan budgeting, project
formulation, and program implementation, other City departments, government agencies, social
service agencies, and Rosemead residents played an important role. There were several inter-
departmental programs; all were funded through CDBG or HOME and other funding mechanisms that
helped augment and leverage Action Plan resources. Guidelines for expenditure of CDBG and HOME
funds were provided as needed or when changes to programs occurred. The City Manager’s office
provided training in HUD grant regulations as needed throughout the fiscal year, to those city
departments and subrecipients funded through CDBG and HOME.
There were many organizations that actively collaborate in the areas of housing, homeless services,
and community and economic development, and coordinated closely in both the preparation and
implementation of the Action Plan. The City for its part, promoted and encouraged fair housing,
26 | Page
housing assistance, and single-family home rehabilitation.
One of the biggest challenges the City faced was the lack of and ever-decreasing amount of funds
available in maintaining and furthering housing and community development goals. In addition,
foundation giving declined. A related challenge was the need for better coordination and cooperation
between the City and social service and behavior health providers. For homeless activities, a seamless
approach to provision of transitional and permanent housing services required that such providers be
actively involved in each facet of the Continuum of Care in order to determine funding needs for
housing, services for people experiencing homelessness, low-to-moderate income persons, and low-
income neighborhoods. However, other housing activities need to be integrated within the social
service and health provider community as well.
The key to a strong institutional structure was the ability of social service providers to develop and
share data on the progress and status of beneficiaries through the development of integrated
information systems. There are several data information systems in place that, to various degrees, track
the progress of a variety of beneficiaries from initial intake through provision of services.
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 taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City carried out the FY 2020-21 Action Plan through various organizations including several
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 worked together to achieve the goals of the Action Plan, including the Building and Safety
Unit and the Community Development Department, Housing Services Division (Home Improvement
Programs).
The City also worked with the State, other local governments, private industry construction
contractors, non-profit organizations, and social service providers to provide community, housing, and
social service programs and projects. The City was 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 continued to
enhance the services provided to our residents.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions
analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
The City's FY 2015-2020 Analysis of Impediments (Al) established seven (7) potential impediments,
as shown below:
• Disproportional use of federally subsidized housing among ethnic minorities
• Fewer housing complaints from the Asian population
• More housing discrimination complaints based on disability
• Discrimination against people with disabilities and families with children
• Low level awareness among Rosemead residents of the fair housing law
• Poor living conditions at the Mobile home Parks
• Lending discrimination among non-Asian racial and ethnic groups
The City has always had an ongoing commitment to prevent, reduce, and ultimately eliminate
housing discrimination and other barriers related to equal opportunity in housing choice. In order
to expand housing opportunities for all groups, make a significant impact in affirmatively
furthering the goal of fair housing choice, and eliminating impediments for fair housing choice, the
City continued to contract with a fair housing organization (Southern California Housing Rights
Center). This agency implemented a Fair Housing Program within Rosemead that provided an
extensive and comprehensive community education program to inform the community about fair
housing laws and unlawful discrimination. In addition, the City continued to offer housing
programs without impediments based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or
national origin. The City also strived to increase the awareness of the availability and benefits of
City programs regarding housing choice, housing assistance, and landlord/tenant counseling
through public information to the community. This information was distributed to the community
in several ways, including notices placed in the City's newsletter, website, other social media
outlets (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, etc.), and community events. This proved to have a positive impact
on the community by ensuring that the community is aware of the different services provided in
works with the Housing Rights Center on behalf of the City of Rosemead.

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of
the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved,
including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
The City understands that all efforts using federal, state, and local resources to carry out its Action
Plan must be conducted in accordance with established laws, regulations, and sound management and
accounting practices. The following procedures have been established for monitoring activities:
• Ongoing, internal reviews of progress reports and expenditures
• Regular internal meetings to coordinate staff efforts regarding performance and compliance
• Periodic reports to appropriate City officials and other stakeholders
• Full review of audit statements and other documentation from subrecipients prior to
disbursement of funds
• On-site visits of all subrecipients to ensure compliance with federal regulations. Technical
assistance is provided where necessary
• Project and financial data on CDBG-funded activities will be maintained using the HUD
software - IDIS (Integrated Disbursement Information System). Use of this system will allow
HUD staff easy access to local data for review and progress evaluation
• Timely submission of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)
Under the supervision of the City Manager, the Assistance City Manager oversees the CDBG and
HOME funded programs for the City. This position ensures that all the CDBG and HOME-funded
programs are implemented in compliance with federal regulations and local policy. This would include
ensuring compliance with Davis-Bacon, environmental review, fair housing, minority, and women
owned business enterprises, Section 3, affirmative marketing through on-going monitoring of
programs and services assisted with CDBG and HOME funds.
The Management Analyst coordinates with the different internal departments receiving CDBG funds.
However, each program is administered or coordinated by the appropriate staff in each department and
supervised by the Director of that department.
The lead person for the Consolidated Plan preparation and yearly reporting is the Assistant City
Manager under the supervision of the City Manager.

CR-45 - CDBG 91.520(c)
Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction's program objectives and
indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its experiences.
Introduction
Each year the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding for
housing and community development programs to the City of Rosemead, specifically Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program funds. To
receive these funds, the City must complete a report every five year called the Consolidated Plan.
The purpose of the Consolidated Plan is to identify Rosemead's housing and community development
needs, priorities, goals, and strategies and to stipulate how funds will be allocated to housing and
community development activities over the period of the Consolidated Plan, which in this case is every
five years.
The City shall amend the approved Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans when:
• A substantial change (e.g., 50% or more) in its allocation priorities or a substantial change in
the method of distribution of funds takes place; or
• Carries out an activity, using funds from any program covered by the consolidated plan
(including program income), not previously described in the action plan; or
• Substantially change the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity.
Under the 2020 federal stimulus plan - CARES Act, the City received $972,328 in CDBG-CV funds
to be used for activities that prevent, prepare for, or respond to the impacts of COVID- 19. The City
Council allocated those funds to an economic development program to assist small business suffering
from hardship due to COVID- 19, assist low- and moderate -income persons to prevent, prepare for,
and respond to COVID- 19, including a food distribution assistance program.
The City amended its 2019-2020 Annual Action plan to include CARES Act funds. The CARES Act
was signed by President Trump on March 27, 2020 to respond to the growing effects of the
coronavirus health crisis. The CARES Act made available CDBG-CV funds to entitlement
jurisdictions. In addition, the CARES Act provides some flexibility and waivers with regard to
CDBG-CV.
31 | Page
CDBG and CDBG-CV funds are making a significant impact on strategies to address the high priority
needs identified in the 2020-2021 Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan. As shown in Figure 2 in section
CR- 05 of this document, CDBG funds contributed to all eight Strategic Plan goals.

CR-50 - HOME 91.520(d)
Include the results of on-site inspections of affordable rental housing assisted under the
program to determine compliance with housing codes and other applicable regulations
Please list those projects that should have been inspected on-site this program year based upon the
schedule in §92.504(d). Indicate which of these were inspected and a summary of issues that were
detected during the inspection. For those that were not inspected, please indicate the reason and how
you will remedy the situation.
The City has completed two (2) HOME-funded rental projects.
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% of
the area median income adjusted for household size. The income limits are reviewed every year and
are subject to change without prior notice.
Two (2) 3-Bedroom Single Family Home - During the FY 2007-08 and FY 2010-11, the City entered
into agreements with Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation (RHCDC) to produce
affordable housing using the 15% CHOO set-aside funding as required under the HOME entitlement
grant. As a result, the City approved two (2) separate 0% deferred payment loans funded by the HOME
CHOO Set-Aside Fund to the Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation for the purchase of
two (2), three-bedroom rental properties 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.
As part of the City's ongoing monitoring requirements, both projects conduct annual rental
verifications and habitability inspections.
Provide an assessment of the jurisdiction's affirmative marketing actions for HOME units.
92.351(b)
In addition to prohibiting discrimination, fair housing and equal opportunity laws require
recipients of federal housing funds to be proactive in encouraging participation in any projects or
programs funded through federal sources. They must affirmatively market housing, employment
and contracting opportunities to minorities, women, and low-income residents and businesses. The
33 | Page
City is working with Southern California Housing Rights Center to affirmatively address and use
affirmative marketing means for fair housing.
The City effectively promoted affirmative marketing through the following actions:
• Use of the fair housing logo or equal opportunity language in marketing materials, posters
on office walls, and referrals to a fair housing agency
• Use of funding agreements to require subrecipients to comply with requirements relating to
equal employment opportunities;
• Use of non-English language newspapers (as needed), informing service agencies about
projects, and translators at public meetings
• Use of informational materials and distribution of literature to spread awareness of fair
housing laws
Furthermore, the City maintained the following marketing requirements and procedures:
• Methods of informing the public, owners, and potential tenants about federal fair housing
laws and the City's affirmative marketing policy
• Procedures to be used to inform and solicit applications from the persons in the housing market
area that are not likely to apply for housing without special outreach
• Records that will be kept describing actions taken by the City and subrecipients in affirmatively
marketing programs and projects
• Conducting workshops for landlords and housing industry professionals to inform them on
Housing Rights Center services, federal and state fair housing laws, protected characteristics,
and unlawful discrimination
For employment and other economic development opportunities generated by certain HUD financial
assistance, the City shall, to the greatest extent feasible, and in conformance with existing Federal,
State, and local law and regulations, be directed to low and very-low income persons, particularly
those who are recipients of government assistance for housing, and to building contractors which
provide economic opportunity to low and very-low income persons as required under Section 3.
In addition, the City maintained the following employment and contracting requirements:
• Adoption of a formal policy concerning nondiscrimination in employment and a
designated department to oversee compliance;
• Procedures in notifying minority and female recruitment sources for Request for Proposals on
City projects;
34 | Page
• Placement of minority and women-owned businesses {MBE/WBEs) on solicitation lists; and
• Use the services and assistance of the Small Business Administration and Minority Business
Development Agency, to encourage MBE/WBD participation in City projects.
For all federally funded contracts, the City had set forms that were included in all bid packages.
These forms consisted of a listing of federal equal employment opportunity/affirmative action
requirements, requirements for contracting with small and minority-owned firms, women's
business enterprise and labor surplus area information, certification regarding performance of
previous contracts or subcontracts subject to the equal opportunity clause and the filing of required
reports.
Refer to IDIS reports to describe the amount and use of program income for projects, including
the number of projects and owner and tenant characteristics
During the FY 2020-21, the City received $439,695.95 in HOME program income.
Describe other actions taken to foster and maintain affordable housing. 91.220(k) (STATES
ONLY: Including the coordination of LIHTC with the development of affordable housing).
91.320(j)
The City of Rosemead tried to foster and maintain affordable rental and owner-occupied housing
through the different programs funded with CDBG and HOME funds. Successful implementation of
these efforts relied on the collaborative effort of many community partners including public agencies,
government, housing developers, non-profit agencies, and groups. The City used its own City
newsletter (Rosemead Resource), website, social media outlets (i.e. Facebook, twitter, etc.), and
community events to promote these services as well as to promote its housing and community service
programs.
The City developed the COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program to assist renter households
whose income has been drastically reduced due to COVID- 19 and they are unable to pay their monthly
rent. The amount of rental assistance will depend on the household’s financial need and the willingness
of the landlord to reduce the household’s rent during the period of City assistance.
