STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER O
DATE: SEPTEMBER 24, 2024
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW AND APPROVE THE CONSOLIDATED
ANNUAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REPORT (CAPER) FOR
FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2023-24
The City of Rosemead's Community Development Department has completed its Consolidated
Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30,
2024. The CAPER describes the overall use of federal Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG), and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds received from the US Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in relationship to the needs of the community as
outlined in its Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24, Annual Action Plan. The City's overall objective in the
CDBG and HOME programs is the development of viable communities by providing decent
housing, a suitable living environment, and expansion of economic opportunities primarily for
low -to -moderate income persons. It is recommended that the City Council conduct a public
hearing to receive community feedback on the FY 2023-24 CAPER and approve its submission to
the HUD.
The City submits a CAPER to the HUD annually as one of the conditions of receiving federal
funds under the CDBG and HOME programs. The CAPER outlines progress made in achieving
goals established in the City's Five -Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, including 1)
funds invested in projects and activities; 2) households and persons assisted; 3) actions taken to
affirmatively further fair housing; and 4) other information relevant to grant -funded projects
administered by the City that affect local housing and community development needs. The CAPER
is an effective tool that is designed to ensure the City stays on track with its Five -Year Consolidated
Plan and the Annual Action Plan. The CAPER is also designed to provide a maximum amount of
useful information to policymakers and residents. A copy of the CAPER is attached to this staff
report as Attachment "A".
During FY 2023-24, the City spent $1,575,430.94 in CDBG funds, $232,850.12 in HOME funds,
$556,201.56 in CDBG-CV funds, and $271,537.24 in HOME -ARP funds on a variety of
community development projects. Table 1 on page 2 provides a detailed summary of programmatic
expenditures for FY 2023-24 by funding category.

CR -05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its annual action plan.
91.520(a)
The City of Rosemead has prepared the 2023-2024 5 -year 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 fourth program year of the 2020-2024 5 -year
Consolidated Plan period, covering July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024.
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 5 -year Consolidated Plan. The CDBG and HOME programs generally
provide a range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate -income Rosemead residents.
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 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 2023-24 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 to 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- and moderate -income Rosemead residents increases 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, despite these obstacles, the City strives to
develop a viable community for low- and moderate -income residents by preserving and rehabilitating
existing housing stock, promoting affordable housing, and expanding affordable housing stock
through its various federally funded housing programs.
The CDBG and HOME Programs made significant progress in meeting annual goals. This report will
demonstrate how the City achieved its non -housing community development priorities of fair housing
and public service programs. In evaluating the effectiveness of serving low- and moderate -income
residents, the City is pleased to report that $1,575,430.94 in CDBG funds were expended on eligible
activities benefiting low- and moderate -income residents.
1 IPaee
All HOME funding beneficiaries were persons of low- and moderate -income residents. The City is
proud of its achievements during Program Year (PY) 2023 and looks forward to serving its residents
in PY 2024. We remain confident that we will increase our level of performance as we continue
exploring innovative opportunities to improve the quality of life for our low- and moderate -
income residents.
Under the 2020 federal 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 these funds to an economic development program to assist small businesses suffering from
hardship due to COVID-19 and to assist low- and moderate -income persons to prevent, prepare for,
and respond to COVID-19, including a food distribution assistance program.
The City of Rosemead was awarded $1,222,084 of HOME -American Rescue Plan Act (HOME -ARP)
funding by HUD. These funds are to provide housing, services, and shelter to individuals
experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations. To respond to critical needs in
Rosemead, the City has prioritized HOME -ARP funds for homeless supportive services as defined
as a qualifying population under the HOME -ARP regulations.
Table 1, on the following page, provides a summary of the five-year and one-year accomplishments
for the period ending June 30, 2024, arranged by each of the Strategic Plan Goals included in the
2020-2024 Strategic Plan of the 5 -year 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/accomplishments reported in Table 1, on the previous page, are based on activities that
were completed and reported in the HUD Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS)
during the 2023 program year, July 1, 2023 -June 30, 2024. Table 1, on page 3 to 4, provides
information regarding annual goals, activities, and accomplishments for the FY 2023 program year.
As seen in Table 1, during the FY 2023 program year, the City was lower than its overall annual
expectations for affordable housing (i.e., owner -occupied rehabilitation, homeownership assistance,
and CHDO). Regarding homeownership, the City continues to be faced with several challenges, which
include ever-increasing home values, static high interest rates, and limited buyer resources. All of
which were factors that influenced the strategic outcomes for HOME funded homeownership activity.
Additionally, since the dissolution of the Rosemead Community Development Commission (aka
Rosemead Redevelopment Agency), the City's ability to provide additional financial support to the
City's Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) continues to make it difficult to
purchase additional rental housing for low- and moderate -income persons. The City will be addressing
these shortfalls in the next fiscal year as mentioned in the FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan.
During the program year, the City and local nonprofit organizations made progress on several 2023-
2024 activities. All CDBG funded activities address high-priority objectives identified in the 2020-
2024 5 -year Consolidated Plan.
The City allocated CDBG funds in the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan for 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 Table 2, on page 6, including the amount
of CDBG funds allocated to the activity and the amount spent as of June 30, 2024. Table 3 on page 7
provides the numeric accomplishment goal and the accomplishments as of June 30, 2024.

The map on page 11 depicts 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) is below. Most activities funded
in FY 2023-24 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 at 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 the implementation of policies and programs to implement the 5 -year Consolidated Plan.
Federal Resources and Program Funds Used - The goal expressed in the Annual Action Plan for FY
2023-24 was to maximize the use of available resources by committing to projects that are financially
feasible and assist the greatest number of people and families. To this end, four resources were utilized
during FY 2023-24: the CDBG Program, CDBG-CV Program, HOME Program, and HOME -ARP.
Non -Federal Resources and Program Funds Used - The City's General Fund contributed funding as
leverage during FY 2023-24 to assist in the funding of the Senior Nutrition Program.
Leveraging of non -Federal Resources - The City's General Fund contributed funding as leverage during
the FY 2023-24 to assist in the funding of Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley, Trio Community
Meals LLC - Senior Nutrition Provider, Asian Youth Center, Wealth by Health, and 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. The City is committed to meeting the fiscal distress criteria.

Patterns of actual investment compared to planned investment patterns for FY 2023-24
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
housing units, homeownership assistance, and CHDO participation.
Housing Rehabilitation — The City offered the following Programs during FY 2023-2024:
• Residential Rehabilitation Grant Program
• Residential Rehabilitation Match Program
• Rehabilitation Loan Program
The City completed nine Residential Rehabilitation grants and one Rehabilitation loan during the FY
2023-24.
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 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.
New Construction — No CDBG or HOME funds were used for new construction of housing units during
the fiscal year.
Homeownership Assistance Program The City provides CDBG and HOME funds to assist low- and
moderate -income households with the purchase of a home. Under HOME program regulations, the
cost of the property cannot exceed 95% of the area median purchase price as established by HUD or
approved by HUD. For FY 2023-24 the limit for a single-family residence was $724,375 and a
condominium was $631,750. The City did not fund any applicants during FY 2023-24. However, one
household has been approved and is expected to close escrow in early FY 2024-25. An additional four
households are in the process of being approved for the purchase of a single-family home located
within the new Cassia Project (formerly known as Mission Villas) which completed construction in
April 2024.
Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) - The City did not enter into an agreement
with CHDO to produce affordable housing during FY 2023-24. The City will continue to seek a
qualified CHDO during the next fiscal year to start an affordable housing project. In the event the City
continues to be unsuccessful in finding a qualified CHDO, the City may seek a waiver from HUD to
use the CHDO funds for other eligible HOME Program activities.
Section 215 - The City did not assist any Section 215 household.
16 Pase
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 COVID-19 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.

Narrative Information
Efforts to Address Worst Case Needs
Worst case housing needs are defined as low-income (0 to 50% of MR) 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 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.
YWCA (Wings) - The YWCA provides emergency shelter for women and children who become
homeless because of domestic violence. Services include 24-hour access to emergency housing
and crisis hotlines, food and basic personal items, crisis support and advocacy, counseling and
support groups, medical and legal advocacy, and specialized children's services.
17 Pae
The City also offers several rehabilitation programs to disabled residents who own and occupy their
home. These programs include grants, match grants, 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 91.2201d, e); 91.3201d, 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 through continued funding to a public service agency (i.e., Family Promise) to carry
out this work.
Every year, LAHSA conducts a census of the homeless population through the Greater Los
Angeles Homeless Count. In January 2024, the Los Angeles Continuum of Care Point -in -Time
Count determined that 100 people were experiencing literal (unsheltered) homelessness within
Rosemead. This reflects an increase from 2023.
Of the 100 people experiencing homelessness within Rosemead who were captured through the
Point -in -Time Count enumeration process, 44 were unsheltered persons and 56 were persons in
improvised dwellings. No emergency shelters or transitional housing programs currently exist
within the City's jurisdiction. People are considered sheltered when they are residing in
emergency shelters or transitional housing, but not when they are receiving rapid rehousing
assistance or residing in permanent supportive housing.
The information below shows the living situations of people experiencing homelessness within
the City at the time of the 2024 Point -in -Time Count. As can be seen, most people who are
experiencing homelessness within the City are staying outdoors on the streets, in tents, or in
makeshift shelters.
• Persons on the Street: 44
• Persons in Cars: 23
• Persons in Vans: 4
• Persons in RVs/Campers: 10
• Persons in Makeshift Shelters: 13
• Persons in Tents: 13 Demographics or family status were not reported.
An amount of $1,222,084 was awarded from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) to be used on services that provide aid to those who experience
homelessness in Rosemead. The City is using the funds on supportive services such as housing,
counseling, homelessness prevention, childcare, job training, legal services, case management
and rental assistance. The rest would be spent on administrative services to manage and operate
the HOME -ARP program, which is a federal homelessness assistance and supportive services
program.
19 1Pa_e
Across Los Angeles County, there are many organizations dedicated to helping those who are
experiencing homelessness, including the Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (L.A.
CADA), which has been contracted by the City to provide services to those experiencing
homelessness in Rosemead. L.A. CADA aims to give them housing, medical services, substance
abuse treatment and more.
L.A. CADA is one of the few programs in LA County that pursue proactive outreach to aid the
homeless population on-site instead of having them come to the program themselves. They have
offered a proposal to the city of Rosemead, to use the HOME -ARP funds to create new programs
and resources within the city to aid the homeless population. The City hopes that by partnering
with an organization like L.A. CADA, the City of Rosemead will be better equipped to tackle
homelessness.
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 LAHSA to address emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of people
experiencing homelessness.
The City is working with Maryvale on a Planned Development application to incorporate land uses,
including transitional and supportive housing, located at 7600 Graves Avenue. The application
features two key programs: the Seton House program and the Hope Housing for Students program.
The former currently provides six months of temporary housing to nine mothers with up to two
children under 10 years of age who are formerly unhoused or housing insecure, while the latter
provides 14 female students between ages 18 to 28 from East Los Angeles College grappling with
housing insecurity due to factors like domestic violence and homelessness. Through the application,
Maryvale is proposing to increase the number of participants in each program. The Planned
Development application is expected to go before the Planning Commission in September and the
City Council in October 2024.
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 continues to seek and work with local non-
profit agencies that provide emergency food and clothing. The City continues referring low-income
residents to services, which many are experiencing homelessness or at -risk of homelessness. Our
subrecipient, Asian Youth Center, provided emergency food distribution to 262 low-income
20IPaae
Rosemead Residents affected by COVID-19.
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 LAHSA and Family Promise to
help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially those who are likely to
become homeless after receiving previous assistance. Efforts include transitional housing from
permanent to independent living, shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience
homelessness, facilitating access to affordable housing units for homeless individuals and families, and
preventing those who experienced homelessness from becoming homeless again.
The City is working with Maryvale on a Planned Development application to incorporate land uses,
including transitional and supportive housing, located at 7600 Graves Avenue. The application features
two key programs: the Seton House program and the Hope Housing for Students program. The Seton
House program currently provides six months of temporary housing to nine mothers with up to two
children under 10 years of age who are formerly unhoused or housing insecure. Residents follow an
eight -step program toward self-sufficiency and permanent housing, participating in interpersonal skills
building, substance use counseling, and vocational training, among others. The Hope Housing for
Students program currently provides 14 female students between ages 18 to 28 from East Los Angeles
College grappling with housing insecurity due to factors like domestic violence and homelessness.
Students benefit from free housing, meals, clothing, and other basic needs, along with case
management and mental health services addressing trauma-related illnesses. Moreover, students have
access to one-on-one tutoring aimed at transitioning to four-year universities and workshops covering
life skills like financial literacy and healthy living. Through the application, Maryvale is proposing to
increase the number of participants in each program. The Planned Development application is expected
to go before the Planning Commission in September and City Council in October 2024.

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 5 -year 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
is substantially built out.
The City 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.
Rather, the City continues to work cooperatively within existing legislatively mandated constraints
and work to develop and/or encourage public policies that foster further affordable housing
development and assistance.
The City continues to demonstrate a willingness to encourage housing development of all types.
The Comprehensive Zoning Code update that was done in 2013, incorporates "Density Bonus"
requirements to comply with SB 1818. However, the code has yet to be amended to accommodate
low- and moderate -income. The City is committed to fast-track projects and process permits in a
timely manner. The City continues 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.
The City continues to comply with State law to ensure its density bonus requirements are consistent
with AB 2345. In addition, on September 8, 2020, the City adopted Ordinance No. 995 to comply
with the new state provisions for accessory dwelling units. The updated Ordinance became effective
on October 8, 2020. Further, on January 25, 2022, the Rosemead City Council adopted Urgency
Ordinance No. 1005to comply with the new State provisions for implementing Senate Bill 9. Senate
Bill 9 (SB 9) allows for ministerial approval of subdivisions of single-family residential (R-1) zoned
lots into a maximum of two lots and allow for the construction of two units on each new lot. A
ministerial approval means that no public hearing, noticing, or discretion is involved in the review and
approval of the project.
231Pa-,e
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.3200)
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- and moderate -income households seeking
decent and affordable housing, and low-income homeowners residing in deteriorating housing are
among the City's urgent needs.
The California Supreme Court's decision on AB1X26 and AB1X27, Redevelopment Agencies in
California have been dissolved as of February 1, 2012, and unencumbered tax increment funds have
been returned to the State. With the dissolution of the Rosemead Community Development Agency, 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 78.5 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 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 Homeownership Assistance Program. Additionally, the HUD approved maximum
purchase price for the City is still quite low, making very few properties eligible to be purchased under
the City's Homeownership 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 to meet needs.
The Planning Division is currently processing two Density Bonus Applications. The first Density
Bonus Application is proposing to provide 11% (equal to one unit) of very low-income housing
to qualify for a 35% Density Bonus. In addition, the project will replace two very low-income
housing units, due to AB 330. In total, the project is requesting approval for eight dwelling units,
three of which will be affordable units for very low-income households. The second Density
Bonus Application is proposing to provide 15% (equal to two units) of very -low-income housing
24 JPa_e
to qualify for a 50% Density Bonus. In total, the project is requesting approval for 15 dwelling
units, two of which will be affordable units for very low-income households.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.3200)
During FY 2023-24, the City continued its program of education and eradication of lead-based paint
through the operation of its Rehabilitation programs. These programs target groups most likely to be
living in older housing with lead-based paint.
Under the 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 abatement options.
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 paintsurfaces.
• Abatement of all defective paint surfaces that are identified at the time of the inspection.
Through these 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 was 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 Homeownership Assistance Program will also provide participants with oral and written
information regarding the dangers of lead-based paint. The selected units will undergo a Housing
Quality Standards (HQS) inspectionthat checks for danger of lead-based paint and requires any peeling,
cracking, flaking paint, and/or chewable surfaces to be properly treated. City staff responsible for
conducting the visual inspection of the units for HQS compliance will complete the Visual Assessment
Course and receive the proper course completion certification.
In addition, the City requires clearance for all properties that fail an HQS inspection due to
chipping, peeling, or cracking surfaces greater than two square feet on the interior and twenty
square feet on the exterior of the unit or in common areas. A risk assessment is 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 Homeownership
Assistance Program.

Economic Development — The City continues to support activities that promote economic
development including business attraction and retention. In FY 19-20, in response to the Coronavirus
pandemic, the City developed the Small Business Assistance Program (SBAP) using CDBG-CV
funds. The SBAP program addresses the adverse impacts of COVID-19 on the economy, including
jobs and businesses. SBAP grants support small businesses that experienced a financial hardship due
to a loss or reduction in revenue directly related to COVID-19. Applications will continue to be
accepted until CDBG-CV funds are exhausted.
In FY 2022-23, the City revamped its Commercial Improvement Program ("CIP Program") by
converting the financial assistance from a loan to a grant. The CIP Program currently offers grants of
up to $25,000 to new and existing businesses for exterior improvements to commercial property. The
271Pa<ze
CIP Program is designed to enhance the visibility of local businesses thereby increasing business
revenue and increasing the likelihood of the success of the business. This year, the City assisted
eleven (11) businesses through the CIP Program.
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 LIHTC funds.
To coordinate and assess the need of tax credits for the development ofa housing project, Housing
Division staff worked with developers and non-profit agency's proforma, 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 2023-24 Annual 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 afive-member
City Council. The City Council reviews, holds public hearings, approves the funding priorities, and
approves the submission of the Annual Action Plan to HUD. The Community Development
Department is the lead agency in the coordination of the Annual 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 ofthe City's population.
While the Community Development Department had the major responsibility for the Annual 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 otherfunding
mechanisms that helped augment and leverage Annual 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 City departments and subrecipients funded through CDBG and HOME.
There are many organizations that actively collaborate in the areas of housing, homeless services, and
community and economic development, and coordinate closely in both the preparation and
implementation of the Annual Action Plan. The City for its part, promoted and encouraged fair
28IPa�,e
housing, housing assistance, and single-family home rehabilitation.
One of the biggest challenges the City faced was the lack of an ever -decreasing amount of funds
available for maintaining and furthering housing and community development goals. For homeless
activities, a seamless approach to the 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- and moderate -income
persons, and low- and moderate -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 is 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 the provision of services.
Institutions playing a major role in the 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); 91.3206)
The City carried out the FY 2023-24 Annual Action Plan through various organizations including
several social service agencies funded through CDBG grant funds (Family Promise, Trio Community
Meals LLC - Senior Nutrition Provider, Summer Youth Employment, Asian Youth Center, Wealth by
Health, and Housing Rights Center). In addition, various City departments worked together to achieve
the goals of the Annual Action Plan, including the City Manager's Office, Parks and Recreation
Department, and the Community Development Department.
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 is committed to extending and strengthening 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 continue 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 2020-2024 Analysis of Impediments (AI) 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 withchildren
• Low-level awareness among Rosemead residents about 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
farthering the goal of fair housing choice, and eliminate impediments for fair housing choice, the
City contracted with a fair housing organization (Housing Rights Center) in FY 2023-24. This
agency implemented a Fair Housing Program within the City that provided an extensive and
comprehensive community education program to inform the community about fair housing laws
and unlawful discrimination. In addition, the City continues to offer housing programs without
impediments based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. The
City also strives to increase 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,
Instagram, 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.

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 Annual
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 CAPER
Under the supervision of the Director of Community Development, the Housing Division 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 Housing Division coordinates with 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 5 -year Consolidated Plan preparation and yearly reporting is the Housing
Division under the supervision of the Director of Community Development.

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 HUD provides funding for housing and community development programs to the City,
specifically CDBG and HOME Program funds. To receive these funds, the City must complete a report
called the 5 -year Consolidated Plan.
The purpose of the 5 -year 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 throughout the 5 -year Consolidated Plan, which in this
case is every five years.
The City shall amend the approved 5 -year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan 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 5 -year Consolidated
plan (including program income), not previously described in the Annual Action Plan; or
• Substantially change the purpose,. scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity.
The changes meet one of these four criteria, and so require a substantial amendment to PY 2022-2023
and PY 2023-2024 Annual Action Plans.
Table 17 and Table 18 outlines the substantial amendments to the CDBG program activities and
allocation:

into agreements with the 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- and moderate -income households and are subject to a 55 -year affordability covenant until May
2063, and March 2066, respectively.

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
City worked with the Housing Rights Center to affirmatively address and use affirmative marketing
means for fairhousing.
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
361Pa=e

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

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).
91.3200)
The City attempts 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
relies 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, 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.
