CC - Item 2A - Public Hearing Regarding Annual Funding Plan for the CDBG and Home Programs Box 070TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS ROSEMEAQ CITY COUNCIL FROM: BILL CRO E, / CITY MANAGER DATE: MAY 25, 2004 RE: PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING ADOPTION OF THE ANNUAL FUNDING PLAN FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AND HOME PROGRAMS Since FY 1994, the City of Rosemead has participated in the federal CDBG program as a direct entitlement city. In FY 1996 -1997, the City became an entitlement entity for the HOME program as well. As part of the overall budget process, the City must reprogram the FY 2003 -2004 allocation carryover that it anticipates will not be spent by June 30, 2004 and any anticipated program income received by its programs during the fiscal year. On April 13, 2004, the City Council adopted a preliminary budget based on amounts anticipated to be received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Since that date, the City has received its final allocation number. In FY 2004 -2005, the City's CDBG allocation is $1,394,618, which is $27, 902 less than the originally estimated amount of $1,422,520 and its HOME allocation is $568, 577, which is $3,977 less than the estimated $572,554. The total amount of CDBG funding which is expected to be available by the FY 2004 -2005 budget, including reprogrammed amounts is $2,206,618 and $568,577 in HOME funds, of which $85,286.55 is set aside for CHDO's. The City's funding recommendations have been changed to reflect this decrease. For the CDBG program, staff is recommending the changes on the following page. All other amounts to remain unchanged.

These activities will be addressed using anticipated program income, as well as funds received during the 2004 program year under the CDBG and HOME programs. This Action Plan is submitted annually. Activities detailed in the Plan must meet one of three national objectives of the Community Development Program. These objectives are: • Activities which benefit low and moderate income persons; Activities which aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; • Activities that are designed to meet community development needs having a particular urgency. Lead Agency and Institutional Structure The City of Rosemead has organized Community Development to be responsible for the planning; development and implementation of its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME programs. Community Development is a part of the City structure and works with Administration, Planning, Finance, the City Clerk, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, Building & Safety and the Sheriffs in designing and implementing programs. In general Community Development oversees the projects of these departments in order to ensure that goals are met and that projects are carried out in accordance with federal, state and local requirements as appropriate. Community Development oversees subrecipients and provides direct service through residential rehabilitation, commercial rehabilitation and mortgage assistance programs. II. Community Description The City of Rosemead is located in the San Gabriel Valley in the eastern portion of Los Angeles County. Rosemead was incorporated as a City in 1959. The City enjoys good access to major transportation corridors including the Interstate 10, Interstate 605, Rosemead Boulevard, Mission Drive, Temple City Boulevard, Valley Boulevard and Walnut Grove Avenue. Rosemead is a predominantly built -out suburban community and serves as a residential suburb for surrounding employment centers, such as Los Angeles. Most of the land area has been developed as low- density housing. City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 2 Household Size As reported in last year's Plan, in 1980, there was an average of 3.19 persons per household. In 1990, that .figure had risen to 3.72 persons per household. In 2000, the figure had risen to 3.80 per household. In comparison with Los Angeles County, average household size in Rosemead is larger. Household Income The major factor that constrains the ability of households to obtain adequate housing is income. The 1990 Census reported that median income in the City was $29,970, which was 14% lower than that for the County as a whole. In 2000, the median income had risen to $36,181, which is also 14% lower than Los Angeles County. This difference in income is reflective of higher residential costs in other areas of the County, which has historically attracted a more affluent population. Characteristics of the Housing Market The 2000 Census shows that there are 14,345 units, making Rosemead a medium -sized community. During the 1990's, Rosemead grew at a slightly slower rate (1.5 %) than other San Gabriel cities, including Alhambra, which grew by 1.7% and Monterey Park, which grew by 1.8 %. The County as a whole experienced a growth rate over twice that of Rosemead's during the 1990's. Housing Analysis An analysis of households with any type of housing problem, including affordability appears on the next pages. These tables are known as the CHAS dataset and represent housing issues based on 2000 census data as compiled by HUD. For the Housing Problems Output table, the following definitions apply: • Any housing problem: cost burden greater than 30% of income and /or overcrowding and /or without complete kitchen or plumbing facilities • Other housing problem: overcrowding and /or without complete kitchen or plumbing facilities For the Housing Affordability table, the following definitions apply (all values based on 2000 Census): • Rent 0 -30% - These are units with current gross rents (rent and utilities) that are affordable to households with incomes at or below 30% of HUD Area Median Family Income as of 2000. Affordable is defined as gross rent less than or equal to 30% of City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 3 a household's gross income. • Rent 30 -50% - These are units with current gross rents that are affordable to households with incomes greaterthan 30% and less than or equal to 50% of HUD's Area Median Family Income. • Rent 50 -80% - These are units with current gross rents that are affordable to households with incomes greater than 50% and less than or equal to 80% of HUD's Area Median Family Income. • Rent greater than 80 %- These are units with current gross rents that are affordable to households with incomes above 80% of HUD Area Median Family Income. • Value 0 -50% - These are homes with current (2000) values affordable to households with incomes at or below 50% of HUD Area Median Family Income. Affordable is defined as annual owner costs less than or equal to 30% of annual gross income. Annual owner costs are estimated assuming the cost of purchasing a home at the time of the Census based on the reported value of the home. Assuming a 7.9% interest rate and national averages for annual utility costs, taxes and hazard and mortgage insurance, multiplying income times 2.9 represents the value of a home a person could afford to purchase. • Value 50 — 80% - These are homes with current values that are affordable to households with income greater than 50% and less than or equal to 80% of HUD Area Median Family Income. Value greater than 80% - These are homes with current values that are affordable to households with incomes above 80% of HUD Area Median Family Income. rl CD O O N 0 O O N r a CL a) C C a C C T Q V a N 0 O T A y b y L A y O O !n L ¢ U y Em of 0 d E c u o .U. aoo rnK o C 0 N y O O T N O xU} y N O N M m 0) W ID N- N N M- P N M M r N N to N r m m N P N 6M M P c7 O � N O M m N O!

N U U City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg: 6 Affordability state and Federal standards for housing overpayment are based on a traditional income - to- housing cost ratio of between 30% and 40% of income. Households paying greater than this amount have less income left over for other necessities such as food, clothing, utilities and health care. It is recognized, however, that upper income households are generally capable of paying a larger proportion of their income for housing and, therefore, estimates of housing overpayment generally focus on lower income groups. The Census definition of a large family is one with five or more members. The 2000 Census indicated that almost 32.5% of the City's households have five or more members and the majority of these were in family units. This translates into 4,522 households.. The low income, large household present special problems because of the average size of units in the City and the potential for disparity between household income and housing cost. Large households with children may have an even more difficult time finding housing as rental housing often may have only one -to -two bedrooms. The 1990 Census stated that 4,592 persons, or approximately 8.9% of the City's population was 65 years of age or older. The 2000 Census shows that 10.6% of the population is now 65 years of age or older. The proportion of elderly residents was anticipated to continue to increase as persons between age 35 and 64 continued to grow older. Escalating housing costs, particularly in the rental market, severely impact housing affordability for the elderly, who are usually on fixed incomes. In the 2000 Census, there were 292 elderly householders whose income fell below the poverty level in Rosemead. The cost of housing determines whether or not a household will be able to obtain an adequately sized unit in good condition in the area in which they wish to locate. In 1990, the median home value in Rosemead was $193,000, which was 22% below that for the Countywide median value. In 1999, the median value in Rosemead had dropped to $159,000. In 2000, the median home price had risen to $182,200, which is 13% below the County median. The 2000 median home price represents a 14.6% increase over 1999 prices, but is 5.6% lower than 1990 prices. In 2004, the median house price, as of April 2004 is $325,000, which is an increase of 179% over 2000 prices. III. Citizen Participation and Public Comments The City held its Citizen Participation process in accordance with its adopted Citizen Participation Plan. The City held a public hearing prior to publication of the Annual Action and Funding Plan on April 13, 2004, held a thirty -day public comment period from April 14, 2004 through May 14, 2004 and a second public hearing on May 25, 2004. In addition, the City posted information regarding the meetings, public hearings and workshop in a variety of locations, including community centers, post offices, grocery stores and the Rosemead Chamber of Commerce — a complete listing can be found in the Appendices. City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 7 A variety of agencies, groups and organizations participated in the process, including the City's own departments of Building, Planning, Administration, Public Works, Engineering, Parks and Recreation, and Finance.

Public Comments The City received the following public or written A representative for People for People thanked the City for its continued support of their agency. State A copy of the City's Annual Funding Plan was sent to the State of California. IV. Integrated Approach /Vision Coordination and Institutional Structure Integrated Approach The City of Rosemead has integrated several required programs and plans with its approved Consolidated Plan to ensure that all aspects of City government and related agencies (e.g. the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation and the Rosemead Community Development Commission) work together on a uniform vision for the benefit of the residents of the City of Rosemead. The CDBG and HOME work programs reflect goals and objectives that are contained in the required programs and plans. Some of these plans and programs are as follows: The Redevelopment Agency Five Year Plan; the Development Plan of the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation; the City's Pavement Management Plan; the City's ADA Improvement Plan; the Consolidated Plan and the Housing Element. These plans have been created with input from the public, other City departments and divisions, the State's Housing and Community Development Division, CalTrans, and.other public agencies and non - profit entities. City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 8 Coordination The City .continues to focus on improving coordination and eliminating gaps in the institutional structure. The City has continued the liaison between the City and the LA CDC. In addition, the City has worked to improve communication and to promote projects between Community Development and the City's Redevelopment Agency. In the coming fiscal year, the City will pursue the following activities to enhance coordination and eliminate gaps in the institutional structure: • Continue to be a member of the Greater San Gabriel Valley Economic Development Corporation; Attend meetings between public providers as available; Continue to be an active member of the California League of Cities; • Continue to be a member of the Greater San Gabriel Council of Governments. Meet on a regional basis regarding increasing public participation in the region Continue to be part of the Career Partners (work force development) Program Continue to foster regional approaches in lead paint and asbestos issues Continue to meet with interested local governments regarding a regional approach to issues, including homelessness V. Continuum o Care The City is a part of the Countywide Continuum of Care and supplies information to LAHSA, as well as receives information from them, including providing information for the annual Continuum application. In addition, the City works with public service agencies and others to identify services and gaps in the community and to ensure that citizens who come into the City looking for services are referred to agencies that can be of the most assistance to them. As part of the Continuum, the City provides funding to People for People, a non -profit organization that provides food and assistance to the homeless and to those at risk of homelessness and YWCA- Wings, which provides shelter for battered women.

Of these 18, nine reported a permanent address and City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 11 were no homeless. Based on the foregoing, the City of Rosemead estimates that its homeless population is between 13 and 16, of which approximately five to six are unsheltered. This represents a decline from homeless persons in the 1990 Census, where 20 individuals and 1 one family were reported as homeless. Of that count, four (4) were chronic substance abusers, six (6) were seriously mentally ill and six were dual- diagnosis, two (2) were youth. In fiscal year 2001 -2002, the City conducted a follow up count of unsheltered homeless on June 11, 2002. The count was conducted in the evening after business hours, based on sites identified by Code Enforcement and the Sheriff Department. Sixteen sites were identified and visited. Staff encountered a total of four (4) persons, two of whom claimed to be homeless and unsheltered, one that was unresponsive, but appeared to be unsheltered and one of whom was intoxicated and sleeping, whose friend claimed that he was homeless. The friend claimed he was not homeless but was watching over his friend. The homeless count did not reveal a large number of unsheltered homeless and no females or homeless families with children. The following were the results of the survey: • Four people were found Two had been on the street for more than one year • One had been homeless for five months • One was unresponsive • Three showed signs of long term alcohol abuse problems • No one was responsive to referrals for service . Homeless counts in the City between 1999 and 2002 declined by four persons or 50 %. In fiscal year 2004 -2005, a follow up homeless count was undertaken. Selected sites were identified and visited. Staff encountered nine (9) persons, of whom 2 claimed to be homeless. One of those persons stated that 3 additional homeless stayed with him. The others stated that they had shelter and were day laborers. Of the persons interviewed and who stated they were homeless: • Two people were found • All had been homeless for more than six months • One showed signs of long term alcohol abuse problems • No one was responsive to referrals for service The homeless count did not reveal unsheltered females or homeless families with children.

' City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004- 2005,'pg. 21 Leveraging The City uses a variety of mechanisms to leverage additional resources. In residential rehabilitation, some products are offered as partial rebates, where a portion of the cost is borne by the recipient, or a loan where CDBG or HOME funds are repaid, or a loan where CDBG funds are only used to buy down a bank's existing interest rate. In street reconstruction, other funds besides CDBG are used to fulfill the requirements of the City's pavement management program, such as: Gas Tax, ISTEA, Redevelopment Agency monies CDBG economic.development, funds are leveraged either through loans that must be repaid, partial rebates, or pooling funds with other municipal jurisdictions to assist economic development activities. In recreation facilities and other construction, the City leverages funds from a variety of sources, such as: Parks and Recreation Bond funds and assistance from the Rosemead Community Development Commission. Transportation, which is identified in the Consolidated Plan as a priority item, receives no CDBG funds, and is funded entirely from other sources. Program income varies from year to year and cannot . In public services, funds are either received as part of the program operation or funds are used with other forms of funding. In commercial rehabilitation and be estimated. Surplus from Urban Renewal Grants, Grant Funds Returned to Letter of Credit and Income from Float- Funded Activities There are no reconciliation changes, adjustments, or funds returned to the City's Letter of Credit, no urban renewal grants and no float - funded activities. Pre -award Costs As stated in the work plan, the City has completed design and is ready to go to construction for Virginia Street in FY 2004 -2005. Under the regulations at 570.200, (h), the City can make a pre -award of CDBG funds if it is outlined in the Consolidated Plan, if it is below $300,000 and if the public has an opportunity to comment on the proposal. The City is amending the Consolidated Plan through this Annual Plan amendment to allow for pre - award costs for the Virginia Street Reconstruction in the amount of $207,106 from FY 2005 -2006 in order to complete construction of the project. This proposed pre -award has been part of the Annual Plan and City budget process, including two (2) public hearings, a study session and posting in the City's posting locations. HOME Work Program Administration. 10% for administration of program CHDO. 15% set -aside for Community Housing Development Corporations. First Time Home Buyer Program. Funds for program at 80% or less of median City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 22 income. Housing Development Program. Funds for non - profit or for - profit development of affordable housing. Leveraging and Match The City uses a variety of mechanisms to leverage additional resources, including funding from the Rosemead Community Development Commission. Rosemead is a 100% match reduction community. Float Activities and Non - Conforming Instruments The City does not use atypical loans or grant instruments of non - conforming loan guarantees. HOME Recapture Provisions in Mortgage Assistance Program (MAP) HOME Regulations at 24 CFR 92.254 requires that the City "recoup all or a portion of the HOME assistance to the home buyers if the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the family for the duration of the period of affordability." In accordance with this requirement, the City of Rosemead has the following policy as part of its MAP program: The borrower must comply with affordability requirements for ten (10) years. If, during that ten (10) year period, the borrower no longer uses the property as the principal place of residency, sells or transfers the property, the entire amount of down payment assistance will be due and payable and will include simple interest in accordance with the following formula: Period of Residency Annual Interest Rate 1 day — 2 years 5% 2 years + 1 day — 4 years 4% 4 years + 1 day — 6 years 3% 6 years + 1 day — 8 years 2% 8 years +1 day — 10 years 1 % 10 years + 1 day 0% Affirmative Marketing For rental projects of five or more HOME assisted units, the City will use affirmative marketing procedures and requirements. Affirmative Marketing Plans will include the following: City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 23 • The methods used to inform the public, owners and potential tenants about fair housing laws. • Description of the efforts that will be made to conduct affirmative market housing units assisted with HOME funds. Owners and leasing agents will place advertisements to market HOME - assisted units including local sources, public agencies and social service organizations. • Description of efforts to outreach persons not likely to apply for housing without special outreach. These efforts will include effort to distribute marketing materials to organizations that likely have contact with these populations. • Maintenance of records to document actions taken to affirmatively market HOME - assisted units and to assess marketing effectiveness will be kept. • Description of corrective actions that will be taken where requirements are not met. City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 24 XIII. Monitoring Plan Anti - Displacement Performance Measurement Initiatives Programs administered and monitored by the City include the following: CDBG HOME Performance of planned projects and activities of these funds are monitored in various ways depending on type of program and reporting requirements. Monitoring is viewed as a way to identify deficiencies and promote corrections in order to improve performance. The actual activity of monitoring helps promote quality performance as well as identify any need for further technical assistance. The following is a description of the types of monitoring performed by staff: Performance monitoring Financial monitoring Davis -Bacon Compliance • Environmental Review Compliance Monitoring includes: on -site visits, interviews, telephone contacts and reports. The Subrecipient Agreement is used to measure funded agency compliance. The City operates in accordance with the monitoring plan developed for CDBG and HOME programs, including an annual single audit in conformance with OMB Circular 133 -A. The Grants Coordinator and Assistant -Grants Coordinator also monitor all activity of the program on a monthly basis, while financial management is monitored jointly by the Grants Coordinator and the City's fiscal department. The City uses a monitoring process for public service agencies that it developed and which received a HUD Best Practice Award. . Financial Monitoring All project costs are paid on a reimbursement basis, rather than paid in advance. A request for reimbursement must have appropriate documentation attached to verify all expenditures. A current report of program activities must also be attached to the draw down request. The combination of data from the request and the program activities report provides the data necessary to input data into the IDIS system. Collecting this data during the program year is very helpful in compiling reports. By requiring documentation in association with reimbursement, the City's Community Development Division and Finance Department are able to closely monitor program requirements and ensure program goals are being met. City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 25 Davis -Bacon Compliance Davis -Bacon regulations require contractors and subcontractors to pay a certain wage to employees in various labor classifications. These regulations are a requirement of CDBG and HOME program Subgrantee Agreements. All applicable CDBG and HOME program projects are monitored regarding their conformance with Davis -Bacon requirements. The Assistant Grants Coordinator and Grants Specialist check the state board to ensure contractors selected are licensed. The debarred list from the HUD Home Page is also used. Once the contractor is selected, the contractor signs a contract. The Community Development Division conducts a preconstruction conference, reviews contractor and subcontractor payrolls, makes site visits and interviews contractor /subcontractor employees. Interview forms are compared with appropriate payrolls to ensure hours and pay are correct. All paperwork requirements are kept by the City. Site visits give staff the visual perspective of project progress and confirm reported performance and supplement written reports. Site visits are made to see how services are delivered to clients, provide technical assistance and inspect progress of construction projects. Reporting /Tracking Systems Performance is tracked and reported as stated above. Reports are reviewed by the labor compliance officers and /or the Grants Coordinator. Any discrepancies are addressed with the appropriate entities. Records on performance are kept in the project file. Accuracy of data is confirmed by site visits and monitoring. Environmental Review Compliance Each project that is . budgeted is first reviewed for compliance with the National Environmental Protection Agency regulations (NEPA). California Environmental. Quality Act (CEQA) regulations may also apply. Projects that are community service in nature are exempt from NEPA. Projects that require further investigation are researched using input from Environmental Regulatory Agencies. For projects that fall in this category, a description of the project is sent to the State Office of Historic Preservation and to other applicable regulatory agencies for consultation. Once required consultations have been completed and any mitigation measures identified, the City prepares the appropriate paperwork, including the Statutory Worksheet and publishes a combined NOI /RROF and /or a Finding regarding impacts (if the project is an Environmental Assessment [EA]). Once environmental clearance has been obtained, the project can move forward to City Council and /or bid, etc. as appropriate. All Environmental Reviews are monitored by the Grants Coordinator. City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 26 Anti - Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan The City of Rosemead does not intend to undertake any activities in which any occupied lower income housing or any business is demolished or converted to another use. If the City would undertake such an activity with funds provided under the CDBG or HOME program, the Citywould follow the federal regulations under 24 CFR 570.496a(c)(1) and 24 CFR 570.606(c)(1) regarding relocation and replacement.of housing. . J City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 27 XIV. fair Housing Introduction As a recipient of CDBG funds, the City of Rosemead is required to develop a fair housing program whose specific actions and procedures which will have an impact on preventing, reducing or eliminating housing discrimination and other barriers to equal housing choice based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, familial status or physical or mental handicap. In July 1995, the City of Rosemead contracted with the Fair Housing Opportunities Center (FHOC) to perform an analysis of the impediments (AI) to fair housing. The City conducted an update to its Al in March 2000. Definition of Fair Housing Fair Housing is defined as "a condition in which individuals of similar income levels in the same housing market area have a like range of choice available to them regardless of race, marital status, color, religion, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, familial status, age, physical or mental disability, arbitrary or any other category which may be defined by law now or in the future." Impediments to Fair Housing Choice Impediments are defined as any action, omission, or decision taken because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin which restrict housing choices or the availability of housing choices, or any action, omission, or decision which have the effect of restricting housing choices or the availability of housing choices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. Based on the conclusions of the Al, if the CDBG grantee takes lawful steps to eliminate identified impediments to fair housing choice within its jurisdiction, the grantee will be determined to have taken affirmative actions to further fair housing choice. Results of Assessment The results of the City's 2000 Al update are as follows: City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 28 Rental Housing Results of the analysis show that discrimination does exist and consists primarily of Asian landlords discriminating against other ethnic and racial groups, especially Caucasians and Hispanics. Home Ownership The results of the analysis of home mortgage data shows that there is not enough information to draw a conclusion as to whether or not redlining exists in Rosemead, although the data does show that demand for homes in concentrated in higher- minority areas of Rosemead. Also, unlike the balance of the County, there are significant numbers of minorities in the applicant pool from Asian American and Hispanic groups. African American and Caucasian applicants are a very small percentage of all loan applications in the City. Data does show, however, that Asian Americans and Caucasians have higher levels of home purchases and refinancing rates than Hispanics, when there is a sample large enough on which to make a comparison. Activities undertaken To date, the City has undertaken the following activities in order to promote fair housing: • The City's rehabilitation contracts and covenants were revised to enforce understanding of and commitment to fair housing law; • The City continued its regular fair housing audits of the City and has conducted a special study of multi - family housing to help create new strategies where necessary to increase fair housing opportunity; The City continues to provide landlord /tenant information and outreach; The City has continued to assist state and federal housing enforcement agencies by investigating and testing fair housing complaints. • The City created a First Time Home Buyer program for low -to- moderate income households. FY 2004 -2005 Activities In FY 2004 -2005, the City will undertake the following activities to further fair housing: Continue to work for the development of housing through the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation and Rosemead Community Development Commission; City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2004 -2005, pg. 29 • Continue to expand fair housing outreach through articles, attendance at fair housing events and possible workshop /outreach meeting; Continue regular fair housing audits; • Continue to assist state and federal housing enforcement agencies by investigating and testing fair housing complaints.
