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 2018 program year, July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2019. Table 1 provides information regarding annual goals, activities and accomplishments for the FY 2018 program year. As seen in Table 1, during the FY 2018 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 a number of 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. In addition, with the dissolution of the Rosemead Community Development Commission (aka Rosemead Redevelopment Agency), the City’s ability to provide the additional needed CAPER 4 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) financial support to the City’s Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) was greatly compromised making it more difficult to be able to purchase additional rental housing for low- to moderate-income persons. The City will be addressing these shortfalls in the next fiscal year. The City will be reevaluating its five-year goals and will be distributing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for affordable housing development. CAPER 5 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CR-10 - Racial and Ethnic composition of families assisted Describe the families assisted (including the racial and ethnic status of families assisted). 91.520(a) CDBG HOME White 7 4 Black or African American 0 0 Asian 0 6 American Indian or American Native 0 0 Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander 0 0 Total 7 10 Hispanic 4 4 Not Hispanic 3 6 Table 2 – Table of assistance to racial and ethnic populations by source of funds Narrative The information provided in the table above summarizes the extent various race and ethnicity of families have applied for, participated in, or benefited from, any owner-occupied rehabilitation program funded in whole or in part with CDBG & HOME funds. The report included was the IDIS PR 23 Report (CDBG & HOME Summary of Accomplishments) for the FY 2018 reporting period ending June 30, 2019. According to the report, the racial and ethnic household composition of CDBG & HOME assisted projects was as follows: CDBG - 100% White; and HOME - 40% White and 60% Asian. The summary of information provided in the table above demonstrates the extent that various races and ethnicities of families have benefited from any program or activity funded in whole or in part with CDBG & HOME funds. While CDBG maintains data on racial, ethnic, and gender characteristics of “persons” who are applicants for, participants in, or are beneficiaries of CDBG funded services, IDIS does not allow this data to be entered for projects with indirect beneficiaries. CAPER 6 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CR-15 - Resources and Investments 91.520(a) Identify the resources made available Source of Funds Source Resources Made Available Amount Expended During Program Year CDBG public - federal 1,099,971 311,582 HOME public - federal 1,007,739 33,468 Table 3 - Resources Made Available Narrative In FY 2018-19, the City allocated $1,099,971 in CDBG funds ($708,721 Entitlement Grant, $380,000 Carryover Entitlement Grant, and $11,250 Program Income) and $1,007,739 in HOME funds ($346,837 Entitlement Grant and Ro$660,902 Carryover Entitlement Grant) for housing and non-housing community development activities. The amount of CDBG funds expended during the FY 2018-19 was $282,240.11, which included program income and funds committed from prior years. In addition, the amount of HOME funds expended during the FY 2018-19 program year was $30,566.12, which included funds committed from prior years. Identify the geographic distribution and location of investments Target Area Planned Percentage of Allocation Actual Percentage of Allocation Narrative Description Community Wide 59 Other Eligible Low and Moderate-Income Block Groups 29 100 HUD's Official Designation of Deteriorating and/or Deteriorated Area Table 4 – Identify the geographic distribution and location of investments Narrative A map depicting the City's official low-and moderate-income "Target Areas" and "Deteriorating 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 2018-19 were considered “citywide”. Activities such as homeownership, housing rehabilitation, and social 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 in order to promote a balanced and well-integrated community. The City’s Community Development Department responded to needs for housing services based on need and income for activities limited to eligible low-and moderate-income block groups based on an official designation of “Deteriorating CAPER 7 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Areas”. CAPER 8 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 2018- 19 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, two resources were utilized during the FY 2018-19: the CDBG 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 2018-19 to assist in the funding of the Code Enforcement Program and Senior Nutrition Program. Leveraging of non-Federal Resources - The City of Rosemead’s General Fund contributed funding as leverage during the FY 2018-19 to assist in the funding of Family Counseling Services, Family Promise, 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 in fiscal distress criteria. Fiscal Year Summary – HOME Match 1. Excess match from prior Federal fiscal year 0 2.

One-Year Goal Actual Number of Homeless households to be provided affordable housing units 0 0 Number of Non-Homeless households to be provided affordable housing units 13 2 Number of Special-Needs households to be provided affordable housing units 0 0 Total 13 2 Table 11 – Number of Households One-Year Goal Actual Number of households supported through Rental Assistance 0 0 Number of households supported through The Production of New Units 0 0 Number of households supported through Rehab of Existing Units 5 2 Number of households supported through Acquisition of Existing Units 1 0 Total 6 2 Table 12 – Number of Households Supported 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 funding and HOME funded programs are based on available resources, funding commitments and historical construction development trends. A reduction in public and private resources, a slower recovery for financially challenged low income households as well as a more restrictive access to CAPER 14 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) mortgage credit were factors that influenced the outcomes relative to the decrease of affordable housing for homeownership. Patterns of actual investment compared to planned investment patterns for FY 2018-19 Investment during the FY occurred as planned. The planned investment in the community included owner-occupied single-family home rehabilitation, new construction of non-rehab able housing units, first-time homebuyer, and CHDO participation. • Moderate Rehabilitation - Through the CDBG program, funds were used to assist 2 owner/occupants in making improvements to their homes and eliminate substandard conditions. Out of these 2, 1 was extremely low-income and 1 was very low income. The various programs the City offered were as follows: Emergency Grant Program, Grant Program, Rebate Program, Lead/Asbestos Testing, and Lead/Asbestos Remediation. • Substantial Rehabilitation – Through the HOME program, funds were used to operate a low interest (0 to 3%) deferred Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Program to seniors, persons with a disability and families of low and moderate-income who own and occupy their homes and need financial assistance to make repairs and improvements. The program complements the City’s on-going CDBG funded housing rehabilitation programs that address less serious repair and maintenance needs. Three (3) applicants (1 extremely low-income, 1 very-low income, and 1 low-income) were funded during the FY. • 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. 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. • New Construction - There was no new construction of housing units during the FY. • First-Time Home Buyer Mortgage Assistance - The City provides HOME funds to assist low and moderate-income residents with the purchase of their first home. The maximum allowable loan is currently $70,000. The cost of the property cannot exceed 95% of the area median purchase price as established by HUD or approved by HUD. The FY limit for a single-family residence was $522,500. The City did not fund any applicants during the FY 2018-19. We will be re-evaluating this program during the 2019-2020 fiscal year. • Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) - The City did not enter an agreement with Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation (RHCDC) to produce affordable housing during the FY18-19. The City of Rosemead sent out a Request for Proposal (RFP) but received no qualified responses. These funds were available to eligible non-profit applicants for the purpose of preserving, improving, or developing affordable housing in Rosemead. The City hopes to have a qualified CHDO within the next FY to start an affordable housing project. CAPER 15 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Section 215 - The City assisted three (3) people but did not qualify. The City did not assist in the creation of any home ownership unit through the First Time Homebuyer Program. 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 plausible reasons. 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. Number of Households Served CDBG Actual HOME Actual Extremely Low-income 1 1 Low-income 1 1 Moderate-income 0 1 Total 2 3 Table 13 – Number of Households Served Narrative Information A total of 7 housing units were assisted using CDBG and HOME funds, while 5 housing units were completed during the reporting period. Of these total 7 housing units, 2 housing units took advantage of the CDBG funded Grant program and CDBG funded Lead/Asbestos Testing program; 7 housing units took advantage of the CDBG funded Lead/Asbestos Testing program; and, 3 housing unit took advantage of the HOME loan program. Of the 5 units completed, 2 was occupied by extremely low-income households whose income was between 0 - 30% AMI; 2 were low-income (31 - 50% AMI) and 1 was moderate-income (61% - 80% AMI). All of the households assisted were owner-occupied units. No assistance was provided to rental households. 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. In an effort to address worst case housing needs, a number of programs and services were offered during the FY. 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. CAPER 16 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) • 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 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 FY, the City served three (3) disabled households. CAPER 17 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 The City of Rosemead's contribution in this area was minimal, as this is largely covered by outside agencies. However, the City continued to support these agencies through cooperation as well as providing financial resources to one public service agency (i.e. Family Promise) to carry out this work. 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 2019. It was estimated that 91 people were experiencing homelessness in the City of Rosemead at the PIT Count, while all of the people accounted for were in unsheltered areas. Line Graph CAPER 18 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Pie Graph 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 also continued referral services to low- income Rosemead residents, which many are experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness. 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 CAPER 19 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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. CAPER 20 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j) Actions taken to address the needs of public housing There are no public housing developments in the City. Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership There are no public housing developments in the City. Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs N/A CAPER 21 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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) 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. Rosemead continued to demonstrate a willingness to encourage housing development of all types. A comprehensive zoning code update was completed in 2013. The code incorporated “Density Bonus” regulations which comply with SB 1818. The code has not been amended to accommodate low- and/or moderate income. Rosemead also made an effort 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 of 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. 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. This situation is further exacerbated by significant reductions in CDBG and HOME allocations for Rosemead over the last few program years. While the FY 2018-19 CDBG and HOME funding levels have stabilized somewhat, they still represent significant reductions compared to the funding levels from 6 years ago. Given the limited funding level, the City focuses the CDBG and HOME funds on a few projects in order to CAPER 22 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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. 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); 91.320(j) 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 2018-19, 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 provided assistance to low-income homeowners; the target groups most likely to be living in older housing with lead-based paint. The City also had 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 • 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. CAPER 23 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) • Abatement of all defective paint surfaces that are identified at the time of the inspection. Through the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, financial assistance was provided to eradicate the problem. Full abatement was undertaken in all rehabilitation projects over $25,000. It was the responsibility of the City's Housing Programs Specialist 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 is kept on file. The Down Payment Assistance Loan Program also provided participants 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 have completed 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 City established goals and policies designed to improve the local economy and reduce the level of poverty within the community. 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 Counseling – counseling services for youth and their families • 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 • 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 CAPER 24 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) • 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 provided support for activities that promote economic development including the Business Attraction/Retention Program and Commercial Façade 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 provided 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 $25,000. Through these programs, the City attracted 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 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 2018-19 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. In order 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 Public Works 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 Public Works Department 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 CAPER 25 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) programs, primarily in the area of neighborhood quality of life that were composed of a wide variety of City agencies. All were funded through CDBG or HOME as funding sources as well as 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 Community Development Department provided other departments and City-related agencies with training in HUD grant regulations as needed throughout the FY. There were 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, promoted and encouraged fair housing, 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 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 2018-19 Action Plan through various organizations including several social service agencies funded through CDBG grant funds (the Family Counseling Services, 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 (Code Enforcement) and the Community Development Department, Housing Services Division (Home Improvement Programs). CAPER 26 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 (AI) established seven (7) potential impediments, as shown below: 1. Disproportional use of federally subsidized housing among ethnic minorities 2. Fewer housing complaints from the Asian population 3. More housing discrimination complaints based on disability 4. Discrimination against people with disabilities and families with children 5. Low level awareness among Rosemead residents of the fair housing law 6. Poor living conditions at the Mobilehome Parks 7. 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. CAPER 27 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 in regard to 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 Director of Community Development oversees the CDBG and HOME funded programs for the City. This position ensures that all of 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 Director of Community Development coordinates with the different internal departments receiving CDBG funds to operate the Code Enforcement Program and Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program. 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 Director of Community Development under the supervision of the City Manager. CAPER 28 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d) Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reports. Public participation has been encouraged, which is in compliance with the City of Rosemead’s Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) and by the Final Rule on the Consolidated Submission issued January 5, 1995.

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% CHDO 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 CHDO 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. 24 CFR 91.520(e) and 24 CFR 92.351(a) 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 City is working with Southern California Housing Rights Center to affirmatively address and use affirmative marketing means for fair housing. CAPER 31 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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; • 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 CAPER 32 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 2018-19, the City did not receive any HOME program income. Describe other actions taken to foster and maintain affordable housing. 24 CFR 91.220(k) (STATES ONLY: Including the coordination of LIHTC with the development of affordable housing). 24 CFR 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.

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. The substantial change criteria utilized by the City of Rosemead is determined by a change in an activity which had been originally initiated through the HUD Program and in which the change would exceed: 1. 25% of the original allocations or when beneficiaries are impacted by the change; and/or 2. The description of the activity is modified to the extent whereby the public would consider it to be a new activity for that particular program year. Proposed Amendment to the 2015 – 2020 Consolidated Plan During the five-year plan period, the City expects to receive approximately $700,000 annually in CDBG funds and $350,000 annually in HOME funding. Over a five-year period, this equates to $3.5M in CDBG and a five-year total of $1,750,000 in HOME funds. CAPER 43 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) These funds are being awarded to the City based on the goals submitted to HUD in previous fiscal years. The City has not expended some of these funds and is in jeopardy of returning some of these funds to HUD. This proposed Substantial Amendment will reallocate these funds to programs that will expend the dollars in accordance with HUD Guidelines. In addition, some of the Goals set forth in the five-year Consolidated Plan have become unattainable. The City would like to amend those goals in order not to jeopardize future funding from HUD. The goals that are being requested to be amended are provided in the table below: Goal Strategic Plan - Expected Strategic Plan - Actual Program Year - Expected Program Year - Actual Difference in Strategic Plan New 5 Year Goal Affordable Owner Housing (FTHB) 50 0 2 0 50 1 Senior Nutrition Program 75,000 35,587 4,000 560 39,413 40,000 Lead Abatement 50 16 10 4 34 25 Housing Rehabilitation Program 50 14 10 4 36 25 Affordable Housing (CHDO) 2 0 1 0 2 1 All the above activities are significantly below what was stated in the City’s Consolidated Plan. As a part of the Substantial Amendment, we are proposing to redefine the five-year expectations to closely align with performance to date. Proposed Amendment to the 2018 – 2019 Action Plan CAPER 44 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) As mentioned above, the City has decided to reallocate some of its available dollars, so the funds are not at risk of being returned to HUD. Below is a list of CDBG and HOME Programs that we wish to amend and reallocate funds. The current and proposed amounts are included: CDBG Proposed Revisions are listed in the table below: ROSEMEAD PROPOSED FY 2018-2019 SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT CDBG BUDGET Previous Funding Proposed Funding City Administration (20% Cap) Administration $118,500 $131,744 Fair Housing $10,000 $10,000 Subtotal $128,500 $141,744 Rehabilitation Program Administration $214,037 $56,000 Emergency Grant $50,000 $6,000 Handyman Grant $150,000 $150,000 Rebates $30,000 $15,000 Lead/Asbestos Testing $6,000 $4,000 Lead/Asbestos Remediation $40,000 $25,000 Commercial Façade Improvements $ - $150,000 Subtotal $490,037 $406,000 CAPER 45 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Public Safety Code Enforcement $11,634 $11,634 Code Enforcement - Carryover $380,000 $220,189 Subtotal $391,634 $231,823 Social Services (15% Cap) Family Counseling Services $5,000 $5,000 Family Promises $5,000 $5,000 Senior Nutrition Services $70,800 $70,800 Senior Nutrition Services - Program Income $9,000 $ - Summer Youth Program - Parks & Recreation $ - $25,000 Subtotal $89,800 $105,800 Public Facilities Improvements Garvey Park $ - $390,000 Subtotal $390,000 TOTAL $1,099,971 $1,275,367 HOME Proposed Revisions are listed in the table below: ROSEMEAD PROPOSED 2018-2019 SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT HOME PROGRAM BUDGET CAPER 46 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Previous Funding Proposed Funding City Administration (10% Cap) Administration $34,683 $34,683 Administration - Carryover $19,000 $ - Subtotal $53,683 $34,683 Rehabilitation Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Loans $258,128 $150,000 Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Loans - Carryover $320,500 $ - Down Payment Assistance Program - Carryover $190,000 $100,000 Subtotal $768,628 $250,000 Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) Rio Hondo CDC Operating Expenses $2,000 $2,000 Rio Hondo CDC - Affordable Housing Program $52,026 $ - Rio Hondo CDC - Affordable Housing Program Carryover $131,402 $ - Affordable Housing Program (e.g., Senior/Veteran's Housing) $ - $948,454 Subtotal $185,428 $950,454 TOTAL $1,007,739 $1,235,137 A description of the new activities being added to the fiscal year are as follows: - Commercial Façade Improvement Program CAPER 47 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) The Job Creation and Business Incentive Program is designed to assist new and existing businesses through the provision of financial assistance. Financial assistance is in the form of a forgivable no interest loan that is predicated on the creation of new jobs for moderate- and low-income persons. Maximum assistance under the program is $50,000. One permanent full-time equivalent position for moderate- and low- income persons is required per $25,000 loaned or portion there-of above $25,000. - Garvey Park Improvements The project consists of the demolition of an existing 500sf restroom that is not in compliance with current ADA rules. The City will replace this restroom with a new 680 sf restroom for men and women including the installation of the required ADA fixtures. This project also includes the removal of the existing sidewalk ramps that are currently not in compliance with ADA and the installation of new sidewalk and ADA ramps including new lighting and appurtenances. - Summer Youth Program Activity provides for the hiring of 50 low and moderate-income community youths to work in various City locations as Clerical Assistants, Aquatic Personnel, and Community Services Aides. SYEP participants will include 20 At-Risk Program youths. The City Administers this program. In addition to the above, the Proposed Amendment would allocate $948,454 to a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) for Acquisition and Development of Affordable Housing. If approved Staff will develop an RFP for the selection of a CHDO and new Senior Housing Project By allocating this money to a CHDO for the development of affordable housing, the City would continue to meet its five-year goals set forth in the Consolidated Plan by eliminating potential barriers to affordable housing and the creation of affordable units. The above activities and funding amounts will be revised in the Annual Action Plan. HUD requires that entitlement communities provide the public with a 30-day comment period to provide residents and other interested parties an opportunity to provide input on the proposed Amendment. This public comment period ran from November 1, 2018 to December 1, 2018. Public Comments The City will incorporate any comments received during the public comment period.
