A list of staff - endorsed projects has been developed based on funding requests and ongoing CDBG and HOME funded activities. A chart comparing the proposed CDBG and HOME expenditures to the current year's budget is included in Attachment "A ". These recommendations are consistent with the housing and community development priorities that the City has set and followed in the past. All the proposed projects meet the CDBG and HOME eligibility requirements. Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions: 1. Conduct a public hearing and take public testimony on the Annual Action Plan covering the period July 1, 2013 — June 30, 2014. 2. Approve the CDBG and HOME funding recommendations, authorizing the submittal of the City's FY 2012 -13 Annual Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. 3. Authorize the City Manager to execute all appropriate and necessary documents to receive funding and implement approved use. 4. Award the following public service agencies with CDBG funds and authorize the City Manager to execute social service agreements: • Code Enforcement - $247,273 • Family Counseling Services - $5,000 • Family Promise - $5,000 • People for People - $10,000 ITEM NUMBER: v � City Council Report April 23, 2013 Paae 2 of 6 • Southern California Housing Rights Center - $18,000 5. Authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Morrison Management Services, Inc. for a Senior Nutrition Program. 6. Authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Barr & Clark, Inc. and Lead Tech Environmental for lead based paint and asbestos testing, assessment, and clearances tests of properties according to federal and state laws. 7. Award $4,346 (2 %) of HOME funds to the Rio Hondo Community Development Commission to defray certain costs for the operation as the City's Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary operating and service agreements. BACKGROUND The City of Rosemead is a federal entitlement grant recipient of Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As part of the process to receive funding, the City must undertake development of a Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. It is called a Consolidated Plan because it consolidates the application process for HUD's four (4) entitlement grants into one consolidated plan and application. The four grants are: CDBG, HOME, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). All four grants are driven by an entitlement formula process set by the federal government. The City is eligible to participate in two (2) of these programs: CDBG and HOME. In order to receive the FY 2013 -14 allocations, the City must comply with the following requirements of the Consolidated Plan final rule regarding pre- submission requirements: ➢ Fulfill citizen participation requirements by conducting a public hearing to receive citizen input regarding annual funding needs; ➢ Publish a Draft Plan and Annual Action Plan for a 30 -day comment period in order to receive citizen input regarding the final document; and ➢ Conduct a public hearing adopting the final Plan and the Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan is a part of the Consolidated Plan, which takes all HUD requirements regarding planning, needs analysis, reporting, budgeting, citizen participation and certifications and incorporates them into one process. The full Consolidated Plan must be completed once every five (5) years and the Annual Action Plan must be completed annually. ANALYSIS The Federal government is currently working on allocating CDBG and HOME funding awards and has not yet announced the final amounts to each participating community. While the City has not yet been notified of the final amounts that will be available to meet identified needs within Rosemead for the FY 2013 -14, HUD has warned that it is City Council Report April 23, 2013 Page 3 of 6 estimated that Rosemead will receive a 5.1% decrease to both its current $682,256 allocation of CDBG funds and $228,955 allocation of HOME funds based on the 2013 Sequestration. When these estimated figures are combined with anticipated program income, and projected carryover funds, the City anticipates having a total of approximately $914,564 ($647,460 FY 2013 -14 allocation, $11,185 anticipated program income, and $255,919 FY 2012 -13 carryover funds) in CDBG funds available and $913,200 ($217,278 FY 2013 -14 allocation and $695,922 FY 2012 -13 carryover funds) in HOME funds available for in the FY 2013 -14. CDBG Program After much deliberation and thought, it is being proposed that the activities shown in Attachment "A" be funded under the CDBG and HOME programs and included in the City's Annual Action Plan for the FY 2013 -14. In reviewing the CDBG recommendations it would be appropriate for the City Council to remember that only three broad funding categories are considered eligible under CDBG - regulations. A project must either provide benefits to low or moderate - income persons, eliminate slum or blighted conditions, or satisfies an urgent need. In addition, of the CDBG funds received, no more than 15% ($97,119) of the annual grant amount plus anticipated program income can be used for social service activities, no more than 20% ($129,492) of the grant amount plus anticipated program income can be used for Planning and Administrative services, and, at least, 70% of all funds must be used for low -to- moderate income activities. In addition, the City's current three -year contract with Barr & Clark (for lead base paint and asbestos services) and with Morrison Management Specialists, Inc. (MMS) (to provide meals for the Senior Nutrition Program) will expire on June 30, 2013. As a result, the City is required under the CDBG regulations to issue a Request for Proposal and enter into a new contract with a maximum time limit of three years. Accordingly, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for both of these services. Lead Base Paint - The City received a total of five (5) proposals. Of which, two (Barr and Clark and Lead Tech Environmental) provided the lowest overall costs for the combined testing, assessment, and clearance services. In addition, both proposals provided all the requested information. Currently, the City has a contract with Barr and Clark to provide lead based paint and asbestos services and has been performing well (being very responsive to our service requests, expeditious in scheduling with homeowners to conduct testing, and providing reports and clearances on a timely basis). While the City has never contracted with Lead Tech Environmental, their proposal was complete and references were positive. Based on the comparative low cost of each bid, it is recommended that the City enter into an agreement with each company. City Council Report April 23, 2013 Page 4 of 6 Senior Nutrition Program - The City received only one (1) proposal. That proposal was from MMS. MMS is proposing to provide meals at a fixed price of $3.05 per meal for FY 2013 -2014 and in subsequent years for an increase set by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), not to exceed 4% per year. MMS submitted a full and thorough proposal including a proposed meal pattern and Certificates showing food handling capabilities of staff. MMS has provided similar Nutrition programs since 1989 and currently serves a number of communities in the San Gabriel Valley. MMS has consistently provided quality service to the City of Rosemead. There have been no consumer complaints regarding service in the last three (3) years. HOME Program In reviewing the HOME funds recommendations, it would be appropriate for the City Council to remember that no more than 10% ($21,728) can be used for administrative and program delivery activities. At least 15% ($32,592) must be set aside for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO), as constituted under the regulations. In addition, up to 5% ($10,864) can be used by a CHDO for operating expenses. The balance of funds can only be used for housing activities. PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS Notice of the public hearing was published in the Rosemead Reader on April 11, 2013, as well as through the regular agenda notification process. Prep by Michelle G.

Executive Summary Each year between May and July, the City of Rosemead submits an Annual Action Plan ( "Action Plan") covering the period July I" of that year through June 30' of the following year to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). An Action Plan is required by HUD in order for the City to receive federal funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs. The Action Plan includes the proposed activities, resources and expenditures for the CDBG and HOME programs. This is the fourth out of five Action Plans under the City's 2010 -2014 Consolidated Plan. A more general summary of each project and each amount the City is proposing in the FY 2013- 14 can be found in Tables 1 and 2 on page 9. In general, the City will continue to carry out program administration, fair housing, residential programs, and public services that aid youth, at- risk families, seniors, and the disabled. In addition, the City will continue to use a portion of CDBG funds for its code enforcement program and provide for infrastructure and improvements to the City. Both of these programs will principally take place in the City's adopted target/revitalization areas. Jurisdiction 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 San Bernardino Freeway (Interstate 10), San Gabriel River Freeway (Interstate 605), Rosemead Boulevard - a California State Highway (Route 19), 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. �a Allocating Investment for FY 2013 -14 Based on HUD recommendations, general relative priories for funding will be as follows: • High Priority: Activities to address this need will be funded during the five -year period. Community Development Department 3 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 — 2014 Annual AcdonPlan • Medium Priority: If funds are available, activities to address this need may be funded by the City during the five -year period. Also, the City may use other sources of funds and take actions to locate other sources of funds. • Low Priority: It is not likely the City will fund activities to address this need during the five -year period. The City will consider certifications of consistency for other entities' applications for assistance. In accordance with the City's Consolidated Plan, the City will allocate CDBG and HOME funds to the City's High Priority Needs. Community Development Department 4 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 - 2014 Annual Action Plan ACTION PLAN - 91.220 The Consolidated Plan is an effort by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to simplify the planning process and increase community participation by combining four HUD grant applications and submissions into a single document.

It identifies the federal, state, and local resources expected to be available to meet priority objectives set forth by the Consolidated Plan. It also serves as the City's annual application for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds, which are received from HUD. At the end of this section are tables that provide a description of the activities the City plans to undertake during Fiscal Year July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014 in order to address needs identified in the City of Rosemead's Consolidated Plan. Proposed projects include those to be funded with CDBG and HOME funds. & HUD Required Forms Forms required by HUD are included following this section of the Consolidated Plan. These forms include the Standard Form 424, Funding Sources, Listing of Proposed Projects, Needs Assessment, and Certifications.

In order to prevent the concentration of low- income persons, City housing programs are marketed and available throughout the City. The programs are not directed to any one geographical area but rather the extremely low to moderate - income (0 to 80% of the MFI) persons and families. The City wants to promote a balanced and integrated community and is committed to providing assistance throughout the City. The only exception to this policy is the Code Enforcement activity which is limited to eligible low and moderate - income block groups based on an official designation of deteriorating and/or deteriorated areas and are referred to as an area benefit activity. An area benefit is an activity that meets the identified needs of low and moderate - income persons residing in an area where at least 51% of the residents are low and moderate - income persons. The benefits of this type of activity are available to all persons in the area regardless of income. Potentially eligible activities include street improvements, facade improvements in neighborhood commercial districts, graffiti removal, and code enforcement. The new Low and Moderate - Income Summary Data ( LMISD), resulting from the 2000 Census, became effective on July 1, 2003. The LMISD is the data that the City uses for our official determinations of activity compliance with the low and moderate - income area benefit national objective, in accordance with the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and the CDBG regulations. Because timely use of this data is required by regulation, any changes to the City's existing service area boundaries would need to be approved by the City Council. The City Council has previously approved the service area boundaries shown in Appendix C, as the City's official low and moderate - income "Target Areas" and "Deteriorating Areas ". The City has traditionally used 80% or more of its CDBG resources to benefit these special areas and /or to operate programs available exclusively to low and moderate - income people (whereas HUD regulations only require a minimum 70% low /mod benefit level for CDBG activities). In order to continue to achieve this high ratio of low /mod benefit for its CDBG resources, and because of the compelling need to assist these target areas, the City will continue to target CDBG resources to these special geographic areas. Community Development Department 10 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 . ..........._ 2013 — 2014 Annual AellonPlan Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(e) Homeless HUD has recently increased its focus on the issue of homelessness. This is part of a larger federal strategy being embraced by state and local leaders to end long -term or chronic homelessness for persons who are mentally ill, physically disabled or substance abusers. Unfortunately, the U.S. Census Bureau does not produce counts of the population experiencing homelessness. However, special procedures were developed to ensure the 2000 Census included people without conventional housing, who may be missed in the traditional enumeration of housing units and group quarters. These special procedures included counting people living at emergency and transitional shelters, receiving services at facilities providing free meals, as well as people staying at identifiable outdoor locations. Thus, these special procedures were designed to include, in the overall population count, people who might otherwise be missed during the regular enumeration. Due to the lack of information from the 2000 Census, the information concerning the nature and extent of homelessness in Rosemead comes from an analysis of secondary research sources (such as Federal agencies and national non - profit organizations). In December of 1993, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Mayor and City Council of Los Angeles created the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority ( LAHSA). LAHSA provides funding and guidance for a vast network of local, non - profit agencies with missions to help people leave homelessness permanently. These agencies are dedicated to providing as much assistance as feasible to help homeless persons with housing, case management, counseling, advocacy, substance abuse programs, and other specialized services. The City is a member of the San Gabriel Valley Homeless Coalition and participates in the Countywide Continuum of Care through the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority for HUD SuperNOFA funds. In this capacity, the City staff attends meetings of social service providers, supplies information to the umbrella organization responsible for coordinating the continuum, and receives information from them. In addition, the City works with public service agencies and others to identify services and service gaps in the community to ensure that citizens looking for services are referred to agencies that can be of the most assistance to them. As part of SPA -3 for homelessness, the City participates in the Los Angeles Service Authority ( LAHSA) plan to eliminate homelessness by 2020. In 2005, the City's Community Development Department, in conjunction with Code Enforcement and the Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department, undertook a homeless count night. Potential sites were identified in advance as locations for the homeless. A homeless count was conducted at these sites, along with follow -up sites during the evening hours. As a result, staff encountered seven (7) persons at the twenty sites visited. All of these persons stated that they were homeless. Of these, three (3) were female and four (4) were male. Four (4) identified themselves as White, while three (3) identified themselves as Hispanic. They ranged in age from 32 to 63 years of age. The majority reported that they had alcohol or substance abuse issues, while three (3) were disabled. Homelessness ranged from 1 week after leaving a correctional facility to ten years or more. All respondents' received information regarding services, although the majority stated they didn't know if they would follow -up. Community Development Department 11 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 — 2014Annual Action Plaq This is the City's third homeless count since 1999. In the first count, eight (8) persons were found, of which four (4) stated they were homeless. Three (3) had alcohol/substance abuse problems and two (2) were mentally disabled. All declined services. In addition, in 1999, the Urban Research Group conducted a survey of homelessness in the San Gabriel Valley. It identified 18 persons who had requested services. Nine (9) of those persons lacked a permanent address. The homeless population was estimated at between 13 and 16. This represented a decline from the 1990 Census in which 20 individuals and one (1) family were identified as homeless. In the homeless count conducted in 2002, staff found four (4) persons, two (2) of whom claimed to be homeless and unsheltered, one (1) who was unresponsive, but appeared to be unsheltered and one (1) whom was intoxicated and sleeping. Based on the three (3) counts, unsheltered homelessness within the City has remained low and fairly constant since a decline after the 1990 Census. It has ranged from approximately 16 to a low of 4. In response to homelessness, the City has prepared its staff to refer inquires to the Community Development Department, Housing Services Division, who respond to the homeless in a positive way to ensure that their needs are met. The City's Housing Services Division has provided it staff with instructions to direct the needy and homeless to an agency or provider that meets its needs.

Overall, the City has not experienced an overwhelming population of homeless persons and has not experienced an outpouring of public concern to provide additional services within its boundaries. Social service agencies and providers within Rosemead and adjacent communities (where nearly all major services are provided) have not expressed that there is an extraordinary need to provide emergency shelters within Rosemead, as adequate facilities are available nearby and are not always filled to capacity. The City will consider, should the need arise, amending the Municipal Code to permit emergency shelters by conditional use permit, and transitional housing by right, in the MFR (Multiple Family Residential) zone. Where appropriate, the City will assist developers and/or providers in the procurement of land, off -site improvements and/or financing for the construction of emergency shelters and/or transitional housing. Where feasible and appropriate, the City will assist developers and/or providers in the purchase and rehabilitation of existing structures for transitional housing. The City will consider commencing programs to organize churches, non- profit and social benefit organizations to provide emergency and transitional shelter for the homeless. The City will also consider the possibility of using Proposition A funds to provide transportation of the homeless to shelters. Community Development Department 13 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 - 2014Am100ACtlOgplan: The City will generally support applications for programs and resources from eligible non - profits and other entities when Federal and /or State funding is limited to such entities. However, when the City is also an eligible applicant it will assess its needs and priorities to determine if it will be the lead agency and apply directly for the available funding. The City will also generally support the efforts of non -profit agencies that apply for funding to locate transitional, supportive, and permanent housing facilities within the City. For fiscal year 2013 -14, the City did not receive any proposals that would work toward meeting this goal. Homelessness Prevention Activities The City does not directly provide nor administer any continuum of care programs or homeless service programs. However, the City's Owner- Occupied Rehabilitation Program, Down Payment Assistance Program, and Section 8 Rental Assistance Program can, in some ways, be regarded as activities that prevent homelessness. The Owner - Occupied Rehabilitation Program assists low to moderate - income households in maintaining a safe and decent living environment. The Down Payment Assistance Program assists low income residents with the purchase of their first home. The Section 8 Rental Assistance Program provides rental assistance. The Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA) serves the City of Rosemead and provides Section 8 assistance to the residents. As described in the Consolidated Plan, other entities in the City and the County conduct homelessness prevention activities. Federal, state, local, and private funds can be utilized to provide rent and utility assistance to help families stay housed. Particularly, agencies receiving funds through the Emergency Shelter Grant Program and Federal Emergency Management Agency are likely to conduct homelessness prevention activities. The City will continue to work with the San Gabriel Valley Homeless Coalition, Los Angeles Service Authority, and other social service providers towards regional approaches to homelessness. Certifications of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan The City's guidelines regarding the Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan for SuperNOFA applications are in place to ensure that social service providers work towards regional approaches to homelessness. The guidelines are as follows: 1. The request must include the population, subpopulation, and /or special needs population to be served. 2. A project description, including the services to be provided, the number of clients served, the operating pro - forma, the location, the applicant's ability to obtain site control, and the characteristics of surrounding land uses. 3. Geographic distribution of the propose project near social services, public facilities and public transportation. 4. The coordination of the project with existing service providers, programs and funding and the relationship for the project to regional solutions to serve targeted populations. 5. Projects that support progress of the client population towards self - sufficiency and placement in transitional housing and support services provided by other non - profit service providers and Los Angeles County. Projects that enable homelessness are not consistent with the continuum of care, the Plan to end homelessness or with the City's Consolidated Plan. Community Development Department 14 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 — 2014Anhual Actlon P180 For new projects with the City, the governing body will be required to provide formal review and action prior to the issuance of a certification of consistency. No new project applications were submitted for the 2013 -14 FY. Gaps Analysis Table IA, located in the Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment section, represents the San Gabriel Valley's access to services compared with numbers of homeless and need on a regional basis. Although, homelessness within the City of Rosemead is low, it is much higher in Sub Planning Area (SPA 3) of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), which is the San Gabriel Valley.

On January 5, 1995, with the publication of the Consolidated Submission regulations for Community Planning and Development programs, significant new program requirements were established with regard to the long- standing obligation to affirmatively further fair housing. Localities seeking program funds through the Consolidated Submission procedure are required to certify that they will engage in fair housing planning; namely: (1) that they will conduct at the beginning of each five -year cycle an analysis of impediments (AI) to fair housing choice; (2) that Community Development Department 19 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 — 2014Anaeal lotion Plan they will carry out actions to overcome the effects of identified impediments; and (3) that they will maintain records and make available information and reports, including the analysis of impediments, to document actions undertaken to eliminate identified impediments. The City's first Al was completed in 1997 by the Fair Housing Council of San Gabriel Valley and the Center for Choice in Housing. A five -year update to the City's AI was completed in 2000, 2006, and then again most recently in 2010 by the Southern California Housing Rights Center (HRC). In order to expand housing opportunities for all groups, the City will continue to make a significant impact in affirmatively furthering fair housing and eliminating impediments to fair housing choice by offering housing programs without impediments based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. The City will continually increase the awareness of the availability and benefits of City programs regarding housing choice and housing assistance through public information to the community. This proves to be a positive impact on the community by ensuring that the community is aware of the different services provided by the City of Rosemead. The City's Al is a comprehensive review of policies, procedures, and practices within Rosemead that effect the location, availability and accessibility of housing, and the current residential patterns and conditions related to fair housing choice. Fair housing choice should be understood as the ability of persons of similar incomes to have available to them the same housing choices, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. An impediment to fair housing choice is an action, omission, or decision taken because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin that restricts housing choices or the availability of housing choice. It is also any action, omission, or decision that has this kind of effect. Policies, practices, or procedures that appear neutral on their face, but which operate to deny or adversely affect the provision of housing to persons (in any particular protected class) may constitute such impediments. The FY 2010 -2014 Al established eight (8) potential impediments that are identified below as well as the activities the City will carry out during the 2013 -14 FY to address these issues. Current Fair Housing Profile Housing Complaints from the Asian Population in Rosemead Potential Impediment: According to the 2000 census the Asian population made up 48.9% of the Rosemead population. But only 23% of Rosemead residents assisted by the Housing Rights Center over the past three years were Asian. The Rosemead Asian population is reporting housing issues less frequently which may indicate a need for more fair housing outreach and education to the Asian population in Rosemead. Actions Proposed to Overcome Potential Impediment: • Advertise Housing Rights Workshops in English and Chinese. • Distribute an informational newsletter in English and Chinese in • Rosemead that provides fair housing information in a Q & A format. Community Development Department 20 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2018 — 2014 Annual Action Plan Housing Discrimination Complaints Based on Familial Status Potential Impediment: Over the past four years the highest number of housing discrimination complaints by Rosemead residents have been based on disability. This may indicate a need for more education of landlords on housing discrimination and people with disabilities. Actions Proposed to Overcome Potential Impediment: • Highlight disability discrimination at Fair Housing Workshops in Rosemead. • Distribute educational materials to Rosemead property owners on fair housing and people with disabilities. Audit Testing The Housing Rights Center conducted 20 phone tests to measure levels of housing discrimination in the City of Rosemead. All 20 tests measured discrimination against people with disabilities. The HRC found that 50% of the disability phone tests showed evidence of discrimination against people with disabilities. Some examples of discrimination by property owners /agents included flat -out denials of companion dogs and requiring a "pet deposit" for companion dogs. This could indicate intentional discrimination against people with disabilities. It may also indicate a lack of awareness of the fair housing laws that protect people with disabilities from housing discrimination. Actions Proposed to Overcome Potential Impediment: Coordinate literature mailings to property owners using an available database of property owners (the City's business license database, property search database, etc.). Create an annual newsletter that will highlight a current fair housing topic or recent changes in housing law. Coordinate mailings to property owners using an available database of property owners (the City's business license database, property search database, etc.). Community Survey The Housing Rights Center conducted a survey of 32 Rosemead residents. Respondents were asked how familiar they were with laws that provide protection against housing discrimination. The survey showed that 47% of respondents had no knowledge of the fair housing laws and 34% had very little knowledge of the fair housing laws. The low level of awareness of the fair housing law may indicate the need for increased education and outreach activities in Rosemead. Actions Proposed to Overcome Potential Impediment: Submit public service announcements to local cable channels regarding fair housing laws. Publish articles on current fair housing topics in the Rosemead community newsletter. Community Development Department 21 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 - 2014 Annual Action Plan Rosemead Zoning Ordinance HRC reviewed provisions of the Rosemead Municipal Code ( "RMC "), specifically Title 15 (Buildings and Construction) and Title 17 (Zoning), for compliance with state and federal fair housing laws. Overly Restrictive Definition of Family Potential Impediment: Section 17.04.020 of the Rosemead Zoning Code has an overly restrictive definition of family. This definition restricts the housing choices of individuals with disabilities because it places numerical limits on unrelated person. The definition of "family" must emphasize the functioning of the members as a cohesive household and cannot distinguish between related and unrelated persons. Actions Proposed to Overcome Potential Impediment: • Prepare a new definition of family and amend the zoning code accordingly. Definitions of Bachelor Apartment Potential Impediment: Section 17.04.020 of the Rosemead Zoning Code defines a bachelor apartment as "[A]n apartment of dwelling unit in a multiple dwelling or apartment house, occupied or suitable for occupancy as a residence for one person." This occupancy limit could lead property owners to discriminate against families with children or couples in violation of federal and state fair housing laws. Actions Proposed to Overcome Potential Impediment: • Remove the definition of a bachelor apartment from the zoning code. Reasonable Accommodations Potential Impediment: Pursuant to fair housing laws and also the Americans with Disabilities Act ( "ADA "), the City of Rosemead should provide for reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities. Actions Proposed to Overcome Potential Impediment: • Prepare a notation for the off - street parking and nuisance abatement ordinances that explains that accommodations are available to people with disabilities. • Prepare an accommodation application procedure Rosemead Home Mortgage Disclosure Act Data HMDA data indicates that as the minority population percentage at the census track level increases, the loan approval rates decrease and the denial rates increase. There is also slight evidence of racial approval gaps between Asian American and Hispanic applicants. In the higher income categories, Asian Americans have higher approval rates and lower denial rates than Hispanics. Community Development Department 22 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2015 — 2014 Annual AcdonPlan Actions Proposed to Overcome Potential Impediment: • Distribute information materials to Rosemead residents regarding lending discrimination. • Conduct a Fair Lending Workshop for Rosemead residents. The analysis of impediments to fair housing choice in any community is a delicate and tedious process. The City recognizes the effect that discrimination has in limiting housing choice and equal opportunity in renting, selling, and financing housing. During the 2013 -14 FY, the City will continue to address the potential impediments identified in the City's Al. By addressing these issues, the City hopes to take incremental steps toward overcoming and eliminating all the impediments identified in the City's Al. By contracting with a Fair Housing Organization to implement a Fair Housing Program within Rosemead during the 2013 -14 FY, the City hopes to provide an extensive and comprehensive community education program to inform the community about fair housing laws. This will allow the City to make a significant impact in affirmatively furthering the goal of fair housing choice. During the 2013 -14 FY, the City will also make a significant impact in affirmatively furthering fair housing and eliminating impediments to fair housing choice by offering housing programs without impediments based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. The City continually increases the awareness of the availability and benefits of City programs regarding housing choice and housing assistance through public information to the community. This information is distributed to the community in a number of ways, including notices placed in newspapers and on the City's newsletter. This proves to be a positive impact on the community by ensuring that the community is aware of the different services provided by the City of Rosemead. As you can see, the City of Rosemead plans to continue making a significant effort toward affirmatively furthering fair housing and eliminate impediments to fair housing choice that are within its authority during the period of July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. The City has an ongoing commitment to preventing, reducing, and ultimately eliminating housing discrimination and other barriers related to equal opportunity in housing choice. �& Other Actions — 91.220(f) The City of Rosemead plans. to undertake additional actions throughout to further address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, fostering and maintaining affordable housing, reducing the number of poverty level families, and removing barriers to affordable housing. Community Development Department 23 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 — 2014 Annual AcdouPlan Actions to Address Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs The City of Rosemead faces a number of potential obstacles in meeting affordable housing and community development needs and underserved needs through the CDBG and HOME program which includes lack of affordable land for housing development, funding constraints to address community development needs, and continued reductions for CDBG, HOME, and other federal funding sources in each fiscal year. The City will continue to look for non - traditional ways to develop affordable housing units and meet community development needs; work to combine funding sources and leverage private funds to develop affordable housing; and, to work with the federal government to ensure that sufficient funding continues in order to meet needs. Foster and Maintain Decent Affordable Standard Housing The City of Rosemead will foster and maintain affordable rental and owner- occupied housing through the initiatives identified below. Successful implementation of these efforts relies on the collaborative effort of many community partners including public agencies, government, housing developers, non -profit agencies, and neighborhoods.

Removing Barriers to Affordable Housing The City of Rosemead is committed to addressing the negative effects of public policies over which it has control. In order to promote integration and prevent low- income concentrations, the City has 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. Over the years, Rosemead has demonstrated a willingness to encourage housing development of all types. It has approved several zone changes and Code amendments to allow for development of a variety of housing types, including those that benefit low and moderate - income people. It also makes an effort to fast -track projects and process permits in a timely manner. The City intends to maintain 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. Community Development Department 25 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 — 2014 A10081401198 Plan During the next year the City will continue to work cooperatively within existing legislatively mandated constraints and work to develop or encourage public policies that foster further affordable housing development and assistance. Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction As of FY 2001 -02, the City of Rosemead began implementing the new HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires all federally assisted housing programs, including rehabilitation, homeownership, and tenant -based subsidy systems, to address lead hazards. The City will continue its program of education and eradication of lead -based paint through the operation of its Owner- Occupied Rehabilitation Programs and Down Payment Assistance Loan Program. These two programs provided assistance to low- income homeowners; the target groups most likely to be living in older housing with lead -based paint. The City has procured the service of a State Certified Lead Consultant to provide the following: • Lead -based paint and soil inspection • Lead -based paint risk assessment • Lead -based paint hazard reduction monitoring • Post- hazard reduction clearance test. Under the Owner- Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, the City will continue to provide each owner Who participates with both oral and written information regarding the dangers of lead -based paint and what to do about it. Owners of properties constructed prior to 1978 will be required to meet certain lead -based paint requirements prior to being assisted. These requirements include the following: • Distribution of lead -based paint notification pamphlets to all households occupying assisted units. • Inspection of all properties for defective paint surfaces. • Abatement of all defective paint surfaces identified at the time of the inspection. Through the Owner- Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, financial assistance will be provided to eradicate the problem. Full abatement will be undertaken in all rehabilitation projects over $25,000. It is the responsibility of the City's Grants Specialist to ensure that properties constructed prior to 1978 meet the lead -based paint requirements and any abatement of defective paint surfaces are completed by contractors certified by the State of California Department of Health Services. A copy of the contractor's certification is kept on file. The Down Payment Assistance Loan Program 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) inspection that checks for danger of lead -based paint and will require any peeling, cracking, flaking, paint and /or chewable surfaces to be properly treated. The City personnel responsible for conducting the visual inspection of the units for HQS compliance have completed the Visual Assessment Course and received the proper course completion certification. Community Development Department 26 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 - 2014 Annual Action Plan In addition, the City requires clearance for all properties that fail an HQS inspection due to chipping, peeling, cracking surfaces greater than 2 sq. ft. on the interior and 20 sq. ft. on the exterior of the unit or in common areas. A risk assessment will be required to be completed by a certified risk assessor whenever the City is notified that a child with an environmental intervention blood lead level (EIB) plans to live in a unit under the Down Payment Assistance Loan Program. Anti - Poverty Strategy The City has established goals and policies designed to improve the local economy and reduce the level of poverty within the community. The strategy is outlined in the following sections. Housing and Community Development • Housing Authority County of Los Angeles County - The Housing Authority County of Los Angeles will continue to provide rental assistance to the residents of Rosemead through the Federal Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. This program helps to provide extremely low and low- income tenants with affordable housing and assistance in becoming self - sufficient. • Owner - Occupied Rehabilitation Programs - The City will use a portion of its CDBG/HOME funds to assist those homeowners with income below the poverty level in making needed rehabilitation improvements. The various programs the City will offer are as follows: ➢ Loan Program - The City provides low interest (0 to 3 %) deferred payment loans to seniors, persons with a disability and families of low and moderate income who own and occupy their homes and need financial assistance to make repairs and improvements. The loan is secured by the Deed of Trust and payment is deferred until the sale, transfer of ownership, refinancing of the home, or 30 years from the date shown on the signed Deed of Trust and Promissory Note. Interest is calculated at 0% for senior citizens (62 years and older) and handicapped /disabled citizens and 3% simple interest rate for all others based on the principal owed. These loans may be used for both exterior and interior property improvements. All improvements must be approved by the City of Rosemead's Community Development Department prior to the work being done. All improvements must be done by a contractor who is properly licensed through the State of California and the City of Rosemead. ➢ Grant Program - Grants are available to senior citizens (62 years or older) and disabled citizens for up to $10,000, at no cost to the homeowner, for repairs related to interior and exterior code deficiencies and general home improvements. Owner occupants are eligible for this program once every 5 years with a maximum of three (3) grants. ➢ Emergency Grant Program - Emergency grants are available to all eligible income qualified applicants. The maximum emergency grant is $2,000 for corrections to emergency code deficiencies that constitute an immediate health- safety issue. Owner occupants are eligible for one (1) emergency grant. Community Development Department 27 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 — 2014ADIIUal AMR Plan ➢ Rebate Program - Rebates are available to income eligible homeowners, for correction of code deficiencies and general home improvements to the exterior of the house. Fifty percent (50 %) rebates up to $15,000 may be obtained from the City after satisfactory completion of the work and evidence of payment to the contractor has been received by the City. Owner - occupied are eligible for one (1) rebate. • Public Services - The City will continue to provide public services (i.e. homeless prevention and counseling programs, substance abuse, after - school tutoring programs, family counseling services, etc.). • Dial -A -Ride - Free transportation service (Dial -A -Ride) is provided to senior residents as well as disabled residents. The program provides curb -to -curb transportation services for seniors, age 60 and older, and for people who have disabilities who are residents of Rosemead. Transportation is available to any destination in Rosemead for any type of trip including medical appointments, educational /recreational activities, shopping, and visits to friends and family. Transportation is also available, at no cost, for travel outside the City, a distance of five miles from City Hall, for medical or social service appointments. The City also offers subsidized bus fare for the seniors through a contract with the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). Economic Development The City provides supported activities that promote economic development including the Business Attraction/Retention Program. Through this program, the City attracts new businesses as well as retaining the current businesses within Rosemead. Low Income Housing Tax Credit Coordination ( LIHTC) Currently, the City uses CDBG funds and HOME funds for affordable housing development. The City has participated in one tax credit development project. The City has a HOME - funded development fund. As part of that, there may be additional opportunities to use the Low Income Housing Tax Credit funds. In order to coordinate and assess the need of tax credits for the development of a housing project, the Housing Division staff will work with developers and non- profit agency's pro forma, serve as part of the team developing tax credit financing and will calculate 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. Institutional Structure The implementation of the Action Plan is highly dependent upon the support and cooperation of numerous levels of government and the private sector, including for -profit and non -profit organizations. The City of Rosemead is governed by a five- member City Council. The City Council reviews, holds hearings, approves the funding priorities, and approves the submission of the Action Plan to HUD. The City of Rosemead's Community Development Department is the lead agency in the coordination of the Action Plan. It coordinates the economic activities of the City, develops and implements the programs that rehabilitate and preserve the neighborhoods in the City, develops and rehabilitates affordable housing, and provides rental assistance to the very low- income and Community Development Department 28 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2018 — 2014 Annual Actlou Plan special -needs segments of the City's population. As a lead agency, it will be responsible for coordinating with the agencies and organizations listed in Appendix B. While the Community Development Department has the major responsibility for the Action Plan budgeting, project formulation, and program implementation, other City departments, government agencies, social service agencies, and Rosemead residents play an important role as shown below. There are several inter - departmental programs, primarily in the area of neighborhood quality of life that are composed of a wide variety of City agencies. All are funded through the CDBG or HOME as a funding source; but in many cases, departmental funds and other funding augment and leverage Action Plan Resources. • City of Rosemead's Community Development Department • City of Rosemead's Finance Department • City of Rosemead's Recreation and Community Services Department • City of Rosemead's Public Works Department • City Attorney • Los Angeles Sheriffs Department • U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development • State of California's Department of Housing and Community Development • Other local agencies • Non - profit organizations • Private sector owners The structure of the CDBG and HOME program is decentralized. While the Community Development Department does administer several program activities, including several housing rehabilitation programs, other project activities are administered by sponsoring departments and City - related agencies. Guidelines for expenditure of CDBG and HOME funds are provided as needed or changes in the programs occur. Periodically, the Community Development Department provides departments and City - related agencies with training in HUD grant regulations. 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 Action Plan. The City, for its part, will promote and encourage fair housing, housing assistance, and single - family home rehabilitation through: • Continued utilization of the services of a fair housing organization to promote, educate and enforce fair housing in the community. • Continued working with the Housing Authority County of Los Angeles to implement its Section 8 Rental Assistance Program for the residents of Rosemead. • Continued use of CDBG, HOME, and State funds to assist low and very low- income homeowners in rehabilitating their homes and in eliminating substandard conditions. The City will continue to encourage the different rehabilitation programs through the use of advertising in Rosemead Resources. • Continued use of the Salvation Army and YWCA -Wings to provide shelter services for the citizens of Rosemead as needed. Community Development Department 29 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 — 2014AnUUalAcdon Plan One of the biggest challenges facing the City is the lack of or ever - decreasing amount of funds available in maintaining and furthering housing and community development goals. A related challenge is the need for better coordination and cooperation between the City and social service and health providers. For homeless activities, a seamless approach to provision of transitional and permanent housing services requires that such providers be actively involved in each facet of the Continuum of Care. However, other housing activities, such as rehabilitation, demolition of abandoned or hazardous units, acquisition of sites for potential single family and multifamily affordable housing, home ownership assistance, and new construction need to be integrated within the social service and health provider community as well. The key to a strong institutional structure is the ability to develop and share data on the progress and status of beneficiaries through the development of integrated information systems. There are now several data information systems in place that, to various degrees, track the progress of a variety of beneficiaries from initial intake, through provision of services, and to completion of participation. For example, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) is committing itself to a five -year developmental plan for the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). A primary goal is to integrate the HMIS with other databases in sharing of commonly needed information. Institutions playing a major role in delivery of community development programs often have different mandates, and consequently different priorities and strategies to achieve them. These mandates are most often imposed by Congress, and reflected through the regulations of federal funding agencies. In several cases, goals may overlap or conflict. A major obstacle to delivery of services through a variety of institutions is the continuing trend in reduction of federal and state funds for a variety of needed programs. In addition, foundation giving is declining. While the primary actors in the Action Plan process is the City Council, and the Community Development Department, there are a significant number of City agencies and departments that oversee a wide variety of grants and programs that provide services to low and moderate - income City residents, and play an important role in implementing the Action Plan as mentioned above. Coordination Efforts The City will carry out this Action Plan through various organizations including a number of social service agencies funded through CDBG grant funds (the Family Counseling Services, Family Promise, Morrison Health Care - Senior Nutrition Provider, People for People, and Southern California Housing Rights). In addition, various City departments will work together to achieve the goals of this Action Plan, including the Public Safety Department (Code Enforcement) and the Housing Services Division (Owner- Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Programs). Community Development Department 30 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 - 2014 Annual 90000PlaiR' The City also works with the State, other local governments (County of Los Angeles), 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 extend and strengthen partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for - profit and non -profit organizations. The means of cooperation and coordination with these various groups will continue to enhance the services provided to our residents. Public Housing Improvements and Resident Initiatives There are no public housing developments in the City. This section does not apply. HOME /American Dream Down Payment Initiative (ADDI) The City does not receive ADDI funds. This section does not apply. HOME Provisions Leveraging and Match — The City is a 50% HOME match reduction community. Therefore, there is a 25% match requirement for the City of Rosemead. Recapture — As stated in the Consolidated Plan, HOME regulation 24 CFR 92.254, Section (B)(ii) requires that the participating jurisdiction "recoups all or a portion of the HOME assistance to the homebuyers if the housing does not continue to be the principal resident of the family for the duration for the period of affordability." In accordance with the requirement, the City of Rosemead has adopted the policy of repayment of HOME funds lent. If the loan is refinanced or the home is sold during the 15 -year affordability period, the City will charge an interest rate penalty. This interest rate penalty declines over the first 10 years of the loan. The principal of HOME funds are always repaid. In addition, if the home is sold before the end of the 15 -year affordability period, then an equity share is required. Other Forms of Investment - The City of Rosemead does not use atypical loans or grant instruments of non - conforming loan guarantees. Public Housing — 91.220(f)(2) Troubled Public Housing Agency There are no public housing developments in the City. This section does not apply. " Monitoring Standards and Procedures — 91.230 The City understands that all efforts using federal, state, and local resources to carry out its Action Plan must be conducted in accordance with established laws, regulations, and sound management and accounting practices. The following procedures have been established for monitoring activities: • Ongoing, internal reviews of progress reports and expenditures. Community Development Department 31 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 — 2014 Annual AcdonPlan • Regular, internal meetings to coordinate staff efforts in regard to performance and compliance. • Periodic reports to appropriate City officials and other stakeholders. • Full review of audit statements and other documentation from subrecipient's prior to disbursement of funds. • On -site visits of all subrecipient's to ensure compliance with federal regulations. Technical assistance is provided where necessary. • Project and financial data on CDBG - funded activities will be maintained using the HUD software - IDIS (Integrated Disbursement Information System). Use of this system will allow HUD staff easy access to local data for review and progress evaluation. • Timely submission of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). Under the supervision of the City Manager, the Community Development Director oversees the CDBG and HOME funded programs for the City. This position ensures that all of the CDBG- and HOME - funded programs are implemented in compliance with federal regulations and local policy. This would include ensuring compliance with Davis - Bacon, environmental review, fair housing, minority and women owned business enterprises, Section 3, affirmative marketing through on -going monitoring of programs and services assisted with CDBG and HOME funds. The Community Development Director coordinates with the different internal departments receiving CDBG funds to operate the Code Enforcement Program and Owner - Occupied Rehabilitation Program. However, each program is administered or coordinated by the appropriate staff in each department and supervised by the Director and Assistant Director of that department. The Management Analyst, under the direction of the Community Development Director, coordinates with the CDBG - funded subrecipient's (i.e. Family Counseling Services, Family Promise, Morrison Health Care - Senior Nutrition Provider, People for People, and Southern California Housing Rights Center) in the administration of their programs. The lead person for the Consolidated Plan preparation and yearly reporting is the Community Development Director under the supervision of the City Manager. �& Minority / Women's Business Outreach 91.230 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 has effectively promoted affirmative marketing through the following actions: Community Development Department 32 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2013 — 2814 Annual Acu®n Plao • 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 subrecipient's 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; Furthermore, the City maintains 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. For employment and other economic development opportunities generated by certain HUD financial assistance, the City shall, to the greatest extent feasible and in conformance with existing Federal, State, and local law and regulations, be directed to low and very -low income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing, and to building contractors which provide economic opportunity to low and very -low income persons as required under Section 3. In addition, the City maintains the following employment and contracting requirements: • Adoption of a formal policy concerning nondiscrimination in employment, and a designated department to oversee compliance; • Procedures in notifying minority and female recruitment sources for Request for Proposals on City projects; • Placement of minority and women -owned businesses (MBE /WBEs) on solicitation lists; and • Use of services and assistance of the Small Business Administration and Minority Business Development Agency to encourage MBE /WBD participation in City projects. For all federally funded contracts, the City has set forms that are included in all bid packages. These forms consist of a listing of federal equal employment opportunity /affirmative action requirements, requirements for contracting with small and minority -owned firms, women's business enterprise and labor surplus area information, certification regarding performance of previous contracts or subcontracts subject to the equal opportunity clause, and the filing of required reports. The City maintains opportunities for minority businesses and contractors to access its programs. This includes maintaining a courtesy contractors list for its residential rehabilitation program. In addition, the City hosts an annual homebuyer fair and outreaches minority lenders and agents for representation in its fair for its mortgage assistance program. The City will continue these activities in the 2013 -14 FY. Community Development Department 33 Annual Action Plan City of Rosemead FY 2013 -14 2015 - 2014 Annual Action Plan Strategic Goals and Resources In Fiscal Year 2013 -14, the City of Rosemead will undertake the following programs /projects.

By doing so, the City acknowledges the integral role of citizen participation in the process of planning and development, and the execution of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, and all other Federally Funded Grant Programs. This document outlines basic tenets of the citizen participation regulations and will remain in effect throughout the implementation of the City's entitlement awards from the federal government, or until these funds are completely exhausted. The following details Rosemead's Citizen Participation Plan: POLICY STATEMENT It is the policy of the City of Rosemead to provide for full involvement by the community and its residents in the planning, development, implementation and evaluation of programs funded under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, including the Community Development Grant (CDBG) Program and HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME). CDBG is a federal entitlement grant that allows entitlement jurisdictions to undertake a variety of housing and community development programming for persons who are primarily low to moderate income. The HOME program provides funding for a variety of affordable housing development and assistance. This Citizen Participation Plan sets forth the procedures and guidelines to be implemented by the City to provide for the continuing participation by the citizens of Rosemead. The City acknowledges the need for, and the role, of citizen involvement, but also recognizes that the final determination and responsibility for policy development rests with the City Council. This plan may be amended from time to time and shall remain in effect until superseded by a new plan or until the City no longer participates in programs that require such a plan.
