CC - Item 2A - Adoption of Annual Funding Plan for The CDBG and Home Program - Box 070AZ
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEME CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BILL CROCITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 29. 2003
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. In FY 2003-2004, the City's
CDBG allocation is $1,422,520 and its HOME allocation is $572,554.
As part of the overall budget process, the City must reprogram the FY 2002-2003
allocation carryover that it anticipates will not be spent by June 30, 2003 and any
anticipated program income received by its programs during the fiscal year. The
total amount of CDBG funding which is expected to be available by the FY 2003-
2004 budget, including reprogrammed amounts is $2,801,879 and $1,313,621 in
HOME funds and $169,433 in CHDO set-aside.
In order to receive the new allocation and expend the balance of the prior year's,
the City must comply with the following requirements regarding submission:
1. Fulfill citizen participation requirements by conducting a public hearing to
receive citizen input regarding projected use of funds (April 8, 2003).

Annual Funding Plan Adoption, 2
2. Publish the draft Annual Funding Plan for 30-day comment period in order
to receive citizen input regarding the final document (published April 10,
2003).
3. Hold a second public hearing to receive citizen input regarding the
Consolidated Plan and to adopt the Annual Funding Plan (May 13, 2003).
4. Submit to HUD (deadline for submission is May 17,2003).
During the 30-day comment period, the City has received the following
comments from City staff, 1) that the total amount of proposed funding for ADA
improvements on San Gabriel Boulevard will not be needed and 2) there is a
need to install ADA compliant pedestrian buttons in the City's low-to-moderate
income neighborhoods. The draft budget has been changed to reflect these
revised needs.
For your review and approval is the attached 2003-2004 Annual Funding Plan,
along with the revised budget. Any comments received prior to the Council
meeting will be made available to the Council before the meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that after receiving public input, discussion and after any
changes, that the City Council:
1. Approve the revised capital improvement funding request;
2. Approve public service funding;
3. Approve submission of the Annual Funding Plan; and
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute all appropriate certifications and
submit to HUD.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT
City of Rosemead-DRAFT One-Year Action Plan,
2003-2004
1. Introduction
The City of Rosemead's One Year Action Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 20032004
includes the activities the City will undertake to address its priority needs and
local objectives as outlined in its approved five year Consolidated Plan. These
activities will be addressed using anticipated program income, as well as
funds received during the 2003 program year under the CDBG and HOME
program. This Action Plan is a yearly funding plan and 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.
The City of Rosemead has organized the Community Development Division to
be responsible for the planning, development and implementation of its
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME programs.
II. Community Description

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!

Household Size
Household size is one indicator identifying household growth as well as
overcrowding in individual housing units. A city's average household size will
increase over time if trends move towards larger families. In communities
where the population is aging, the average household size, absent other
family factors, typically declines.
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 hadrisen
to 3.80 per household. In comparison with Los Angeles County, average
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 3
household size in Rosemead is larger. This increase can be partly attributed
to cultural differences in relation to household size, privacy and co-habitation
of extended families. Larger households in the City will result in an increased
demand for larger sized housing units and apartments, relative to other types
of housing. Since the City is predominantly built out, the most likely method of
accommodating this type of growth is through additions to existing housing.
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.
The following table presents the estimated number and proportion of the City's
2000 households that fall within a series of ten (10) income ranges. Nearly
56% of the City's households in 2000 earned an annual income between
$10,000 and $50,000. At the opposite end of the spectrum, 9% of Rosemead
households earned less than $10,000 per year, while35% earned $50,000 or
more annually.

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 Supply, Condition and Tenure
The 1990 Census reported 13,701 occupied housing units in the City. Of
these, 68.2% were single-family detached units. The 2000 Census reported
13,913 occupied housing units, of which 83% were single-family detached
units. Not all of these, however, had owner-occupants. Fifty-six percent of
single family units were owner occupied in 1990 and 44% were rented.
Condominiums comprised approximately 6.3% of the housing stock andmore
than half, 54.3% were owner occupied during the 1990 Census, with the other
45.7% being rental units in 1990. In 2000 that had shifted-of the occupied
housing units, 48.8% were owner-occupied and 51.2% were renter-occupied.

Multi-family units, comprised of 2+ units, represented 18.9% of housing units
in the City in 1990. In 2000, that figure was approximately 14%. The majority
of multi-family units were renter occupied, but 12.3% of multi-family units were
owner occupied in 2000.
Traditional housing units in the City of Rosemead tend to be smaller in the City
than in the County. In 1990, 66.5% of all housing units in the County had six or
more rooms, while in the City only 19.8% had six or more rooms. In 2000,
28.3% of the County's units had six or more rooms, while in Rosemead the
figure had fallen slightly to 19.6°/x.

The majority of the City's housing stock, 71.5% was built prior to 1960 and an
additional 23% is between 20 and 30 years old.
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 almost32.5% 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. See chart below:

City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 9
The cities surrounding Rosemead were also invited to participate.
Public Comments
The City received the following public or written comments:
State
A copy of the City's Annual Funding Plan was sent to the State of California.
V. Integrated Approach/Vision
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.

including alley paving, streetlights, Virginia street reconstruction.
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
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 1 1
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. In public
services, funds are either received as part of the program operation or CDBG
funds are used-with other forms of funding. In commercial rehabilitation and
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 be estimated.
HOME Work Program

development of affordable housing.
Leveraging
Funds for non-profit or for-profit
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.
General Priorities for Allocating Investment
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 12
As stated in the 2000-2005 Consolidated Plan, CDBG and HOME dollars will
be spent in the areas of homeownership, housing rehabilitation and public
services without regard for geographic boundaries, but focusing on low-to-
moderate income individuals and households. Infrastructure activities will
primarily be undertaken in low-to-moderate income areas.
Priority Needs and Strategies
Priority Housing Needs
STRATEGY: Preserve the City's existing affordable housing stock through
rehabilitation. The majority of the housing stock in the City of Rosemead is 30
years of age or older. As the housing stock continues to age, these units will
require more rehabilitation. The City will continue to provide rehabilitation
through its Residential Rehabilitation Program. The goal is to serve 100
households over the five-year period. The goal for 2003-2004 is to serve 25
households.
STRATEGY: Assist low-to-moderate income households secure affordable
housing, whether rental or home ownership, through a variety of programs.
The SCAG RHNA numbers indicate that many low-to-moderate income
households are overpaying for housing and that there is a need for additional
affordable units. In order to help meet this demand, the City will continue to:
• Continue to support the Housing Authority's Section 8 Voucher program
• The City also has established a first time homebuyer program funded
through the Redevelopment Agency and created a HOME funded program
for households that require deeper subsidy. The goal for 2003-2004 is to
serve five homebuyers. -
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 13
STRATEGY: Continue to provide assistance to those at risk of homelessness.
The City will:
• Continue to participate in the Continuum of Care
• The City will continue to provide funding opportunities to those at risk of
homelessness through its public service grants program. The goal is to
serve 50 clients over the next five (5) years. For FY 2003-2004, continue
to be a partner with LAHSA and to provide assistance to People for
People.
Priority Community Development Needs
STRATEGY:_ Improve infrastructure. This covers needed infrastructure
improvements in low-to-moderate income neighborhoods to improve access
and quality of life. Needed infrastructure improvements include storm drain
improvements, gutters, sidewalks, curbs, street resurfacing. The goal is to
complete five (5) infrastructure projects over the next five years. For Fiscal
Year 2003-2004, the goal is to complete Virginia street reconstruction,
streetlights, concrete ADA repairs and tree removal and replacement.
STRATEGY: Eliminate slum/blight conditions. There is an identified need for
Code Enforcement activities in the identified target areas in order to eliminate
existing slum/blight conditions. The goal over the next five (5) years: the City
will monitor whether such activities remain necessary and will fund as
appropriate. For FY 2003-2004, continue Code Enforcement in Target
Areas.
STRATEGY: Improve economic opportunity. There is a need for economic
development. Over the next five (5) years, this includes creation of
Redevelopment Project Area Number 2, commercial rehabilitation and other
economic development activities and to create capital improvements to the
existing commercial stock, primarily through the Redevelopment Agency. The
goal over the next five (5) years is to assist ten (10) businesses through either
CDBG or Redevelopment activities. Project Area number 2 created in FY
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 14
2000. Redevelopment Agency Commercial Program created. Goal for FY
2003-2004 is 2 businesses in Redevelopment and 1 business in CDBG
program, operation of Business Awareness' Liaison program for
businesses and microenterprises, update of the City's Economic Plan.
STRATEGY: Continue to implement the City's ADA Plan to improve access for
the handicapped/disabled. The goal over the next five (5) years involves
completing ten (10) ADA curb cuts and other infrastructure improvements.
The goal for FY 2003-2004 is two (2) ADA projects, one in Parks and one
in the general City.
Also related with priority housing and community development needs is
an update of the City's General Plan for FY 2003-2004.

VIII. Monitoring
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 1998 Best Practice Award.
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 19
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.
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.
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 20
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.
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 City would follow the federal
regulations under 24 CFR 570.496a(c)(1) and 24 CFR 570.606(c)(1) regarding
relocation and replacement of housing.
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 21
IX. Continuum of 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. The City also has an
identified Anti-Poverty Strategy and an Economic Development Strategy to
improve opportunities for all its citizens and has recently established Project
Area Number 2 through its Redevelopment Agency. See the next section for
a list of service providers in the, City's Continuum of Care.
Homelessness .
The following activities will be undertaken to continue to address priority needs
of homeless individuals and families:
• Work with the Redevelopment Agency and Rosemead Housing
Development Corporation to develop opportunities for additional
affordable housing.
• Continue to work with the Los Angeles Community Development
Commission (LA CDC) to provide needed affordable housing in the area
of Section 8.Vouchers.
• Continue to try to identify entities that can operate as an approved
CHDO.
• Continue monitoring numbers of homeless to ensure the problem is not
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 22
increasing.
• Provide funding for the non-profit, People for People, to provide
assistance to households who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
In 1999, the City of Rosemead Community Development Division, in
conjunction with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, undertook a
homeless count night. The Community Development Division partnered with
the Sheriff's Department and with the City's Code Enforcement Division to
identify potential sites that were possible locations for the homeless. During
the count,, the following were found:.
• Eight (8) individuals were located;
• There were no families and no children;
• There was one single female among the eight;
• Of the eight, four (4) stated they lived on the street.. One of the four
admitted to being an undocumented day laborer and one stated he lived
on the street by choice;
• Of the eight (8), two (2) others stated they were housed by a church and
two (2) stated they were not homeless; one (1) said she was temporarily
estranged from her family;
• Three (3) appeared to have alcohol/substance abuse problems;
• Two (2) appeared to be mentally disabled;
Also in 1999, the Urban Research Group conducted a study of the homeless
in the San Gabriel Valley. In its report, it identified 18 persons who had used
emergency outreach services from the City of Rosemead. Of these 18, nine
reported a permanent address and 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.
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 23
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%.
Currently, the City has the following services and shelters available:
Assistance, General
People for People. A non-profit social service which provides food and
clothing to individuals and families in need, including homeless or at risk of
homelessness.

Anti Poverty Strategy-
Various agencies in the region provide a wide range of programs and services
directed at helping people become self-sufficient; such as regional non-profits.
The City relies on cooperation with these entities in the existing institutional
structure, such as the Family Self Sufficiency Program operated by the LA
CDC. The City also cooperates with regional non-profits, the LA CDC as the
City's Housing Authority, county agencies and State and Federal agencies.
The Community Development Division is a division of the City of Rosemead.
The Division is responsible for administering the City's CDBG and HOME
programs. The program consists of the HOME program, the Residential
Rehabilitation program, the Commercial Rehabilitation Program and Economic
Development Loan Program, the Public Service Agency Program and Public
Works Program.. The Division is centrally located at City Hall and this makes it
possible to coordinate efforts in serving low-income residents of the City.
The Division is a partner through its provision of funds for community
development, housing production, nutrition program, rehabilitation programs.
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 25 ,
These programs provide low or no cost residential improvements, including
ADA, weatherization, lead testing and abatement, food for the needy,
improved commercial properties which create job opportunities and various
public works projects. Staff also administer contracts with public services
agencies which provide additional services.
For its part, the City continues to focus on housing preservation, production
and home buyer opportunities, along with increased economic opportunities
principally through its Redevelopment Agency. In addition, the City continues
to build on the participatory process developed by it and the neighboring
communities regarding economic development needs for the area, including a
regional economic development loan pool and a multi-city, approach to lead-
based paint regulation implementation.
Coordination and Institutional Structure
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:

X. Housing Needs
Affordable. Housing
The City recognizes the ongoing need for affordable housing. Because of this,
the City has undertaken, or is in the process of undertaking, various activities
designed to improve the overall affordability of housing opportunities in the
City. Activities which will be undertaken in FY 2003-2004 are as follows:
The Redevelopment Agency's First Time Home Buyer Program (non-
CDBG) was approved in FY 1997-1998. In FY 1998-1999, the
Redevelopment Agency implemented the program. In Fiscal Year 2001-
2002, the City created its HOME-funded First Time Home Buyer
Program. Continue to operate the HOME-funded First Time Home Buyer
Program.
• Continue the City's Residential Rehabilitation Program providing grants,
loans, deferred loans, emergency grants and rebates to qualified low-to-
moderate income single family residences;
• Continue support for the LA CDC as the City's provider of affordable
housing, principally Section 8 assistance to qualified very low-income
residents.
• Creation of Housing Development 'fund for affordable housing
development using HOME funds.
Barrier Removal
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 29
• The main barrier to affordable housing in the City of Rosemead is cost
and lack of available land area for construction.
• The City looks for potential land swaps and write downs for future
projects.
In FY 2003-2004, the City will continue to look for opportunities for land for
future projects.
Lead Based Paint
Recognizing the danger of lead-based paint, on September 15, 2000, new
lead-based paint regulations took effect. After a review of available testing and
abatement firms, including those that meet more restrictive 'California
requirements, the City concluded that it lacked the capacity to implement the
new regulations. Prior to September 15, 2000, the City filed a Statement of
Inadequate Capacity. The City also submitted a Lead Transition Plan. In FY
2001-2002 the City began its lead testing and remediation program in
conjunction with its residential rehabilitation program. For FY 2003-2004, the
City will continue to operate these programs and will also continue to attend
HUD-sponsored training on the subject. I
Public Housing
The City of Rosemead does not have any public housing. The City contracts
with the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission to provide
Section 8 assistance in the City.
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 30
XI. Special Needs
As stated in the Consolidated Plan, special needs populations most in need of
services in order to maintain their independence include the frail elderly,those
in need of counseling, youth and the disabled. Within these groups there are
no geographical areas that have more priority than another for provision of
services.
The City continues to support these populations through its 15% public service
set-aside. Within this amount of money, the highest priorities continue to be
meals programs for seniors, youth programs, and counseling services for
families in need. In addition, there is a need for services to businesses in the
City's low-to-moderate income areas, including neighborhood-serving retail.
In addition, the City remains committed to providing accessibility to the
disabled through an active campaign to comply With ADA requirements. To
date, the City is retrofitting its parks and installing curbcuts and ramps and
completed ADA accessibility on Valley Boulevard from terminus to terminus.
XII: Other Community Development Needs
As outlined in the City's Consolidated Plan, there exists a need for such public
improvements as provision of well water, street resurfacing, street
reconstruction, accessibility improvements and storm drain improvements in
order to ensure adequate infrastructure in the community. These activities not-,
only ensure the viability of the residential community, but also create jobs and
provide the necessary infrastructure to promote economic development. As
part of this plan, the City will continue its ADA compliance activities in
accordance with its adopted ADA plan.
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 31
XIII. 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.
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 32
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 areas follows:
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;
City of Rosemead, Annual Funding Plan, FY 2003-2004, pg. 33
• 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.

housing:.
• Continue to work for the development of housing through the Rosemead
Housing Development Corporation and Rosemead Community
Development Commission;
