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 every five
(5) years and an Action Plan must be completed annually. 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: Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program (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. The City's current Consolidated Plan is set to expire on June 30, 2015.
The Consolidated Plan is required to include an Annual Action Plan for the Fiscal Year
period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. The Action Plan includes a list of the
activities the City will undertake to address priority needs and local objectives with
anticipated program income and funds received during the next program year for
meeting housing and community development objectives. The Annual Action Plan is to
be submitted annually.
As part of the requirements of the federal Consolidated Plan process, the City is
required to hold a public hearing regarding the projected use of funds prior to adoption
of its Five -Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. In order to receive the FY
2015 -16 allocations, the City must comply with the following requirements of the
Consolidated Plan final rule regarding pre- submission requirements:
➢ Complete an updated Five -Year Consolidated Plan covering the period of July 1,
2015 through June 30, 2020;
➢ Fulfill citizen participation requirements by conducting a public hearing to receive
citizen input regarding the development of the Five -Year Consolidated Plan and
annual funding needs;
➢ Publish a draft of the Five -Year Consolidated 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 Five -Year Consolidated Plan
and Annual Action Plan.
ANALYSIS
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 2015 -16.
City Council Report
April 28, 2015
Page 3 of 4
CDBG Program
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% ($97,096) of the annual grant amount
plus anticipated program income can be used for social service activities, no more than
20% ($129,461) 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.
It should be noted that there were no new public service funding requests submitted for
the FY 2015 -16. Out of the three (3) existing social service organizations already
receiving funding, all have requested the same level of funding as approved in the
current fiscal year. It would be appropriate to continue to support all three social service
organizations at their current level of funding. In addition, there was one (1) request
that qualifies under the Planning and Administrative services cap (Southern California
Housing Rights Center). This organization requested the same level of funding
($10,000) as approved in the current fiscal year.
HOME Program
In reviewing the HOME funds recommendations, it would be appropriate for the City
Council to remember that no more than 10% ($20,114) can be used for administrative
and program delivery activities. At least 15% ($30,171) must be set aside for
Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO), as constituted under the
regulations. In addition, up to 5% ($10,057) 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 16, 2015,
as well as through the regular agenda notification process.

1. Introduction
As a condition for the City of Rosemead to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and
HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), the City must submit a 3 -5 year Consolidated Plan outlining the
jurisdiction's housing and community development needs and priorities, and an annual Action Plan
(budget) identifying how the jurisdiction plans to allocate its HUD funding allocations to address those
priority needs. This year HUD has introduced a new template for producing the Consolidated Plan, Action
Plan and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) directly within HUD's
Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS).
The Consolidated Plan consists of three major sections: a housing and community development needs
assessment, a housing market analysis and a strategic plan which identifies those priority housing and
community development needs and strategies that the jurisdiction plans to address with the available
HUD resources over the next 3 -5 years.
The Needs Assessment includes:
• Overview
• Housing Needs Assessment
• Disproportionately Greater Need
➢ Housing Problems
➢ Severe Housing Problems
➢ Housing Cost Burdens
➢ Discussion
• Public Housing
• Homeless Needs Assessment
• Non - Homeless Special Needs Assessment
• Non - Housing Community Development Needs
The Market Analysis includes:

2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview
The strategies and projects outlined in this plan are intended to benefit low and moderate- income
residents, improve distressed and blighted neighborhoods with high concentrations of low and moderate -
income residents and positively impact the city as a whole. These Strategies will be coordinated with
other federal and state grant programs and local initiatives to meet the objectives outlined in the plan.
The Annual Plan will focus on goals established in the Five -Year 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan Strategies
(CPS).
During the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City sought input from residents to identify and
prioritize the various community needs. Furthermore, the City consulted with local public and private
service providers to assess the housing and community development needs of low to moderate - income
households and special needs households. The City consulted with the Housing Authority of the County
of Los Angeles and nonprofit organizations to determine funding needs for housing and services for
homeless persons, low to moderate - income persons, and low income neighborhoods
Priority areas of need as determined from public participation and research for the Consolidated Plan
include:
1. Preserve the City's existing affordable housing stock for Low and Moderate Incomes (0 to 80% of
MFI)
2. Promote, Increase, Maintain Homeownership for Low and Moderate - Income Households
3. Provide Safe, Affordable, Decent Housing for Renters with Low and Moderate Incomes
4. Provide Transitional & Permanent Supportive Services for Homeless Persons
5. Provide Supportive Services for Non - Homeless Persons with Special Needs
6. Promote Fair Housing Among all Income Persons
3. Evaluation of past performance
The City of Rosemead is near the end of the fifth year of its 2010 -2014 five -year Consolidated Plan. Each
year the City's Community Development Department prepares a Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report (CAPER) to report the progress of the Consolidated Plan goals. Attached to the CAPER
are project reports that show progress on goals established in the 2010 -2014 Consolidated Plan through
the end of the program year.
In carrying out its Consolidated Plan, the City of Rosemead has made considerable progress toward
meeting priority needs. Many of the activities performed contribute to stabilizing the City's lower income
neighborhoods and improving living conditions for individual, low to moderate - income families.
Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 4
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Improvements to housing and public infrastructure improve the appearance of neighborhoods and create
a more appealing environment. New housing development and homeownership programs promote pride
in ownership and longterm resident stability. Funding of non - profit facilities that serve the homeless and
other eligible recipients and neighborhoods help organizations better meet the needs of their
clients. Renovations were performed on owner - occupied housing eliminating blighted conditions. The
scope of the renovations varied depending on the program and households needs with improvements
ranging from health and safety improvements to full scale renovations. Homeownership opportunities
for low to moderate income persons remain a priority program for the City, however; because of
economic conditions, applications and completed projects have fluctuated over the years for the First
Time Homebuyer program. Housing, supportive services, and case management were provided to
homeless persons through several of the City's subrecipients.
Additionally, emergency, transitional, and permanent support was provided based on client need. The
most recent past performance evaluation and reporting can be found in the FY 2013 -14 Comprehensive
Annual Performance Evaluation Report 2013 -14 (CAPER). This report provides both summary and details
of resources, distribution and accomplishments for CDBG and HOME funded programs.
4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
Consultation with both public and private organizations that service residents of Rosemead by either
providing shelter /housing; own and manage housing for low income seniors and families; build housing
for low income seniors and families; and /or provide some type of services to populations with special
needs (i.e. elderly, homeless, disabled, etc.) has been an ongoing process since the development of the
original Consolidated Plan. Organizations receiving direct CDBG funding have been in regular contact with
City staff. Other organizations are consulted on an as needed basis, are invited to comment of the draft
Plan, or have been present at various public hearings held by the City.
In addition, the City sent a letter to the directors of the CDBG /HOME Programs for each of the following
jurisdictions: Cities of South El Monte, El Monte, Monterey Park, West Covina, Temple City, Montebello,
San Gabriel, and the LA Community Development Commission. The letter formally stated that the update
to the City's Consolidated Plan was currently being prepared. The letter requested input from these
jurisdictions on any activities that could be coordinated in such a way to achieve comprehensive
community goals. The letter also requested information on any non - housing community development
that might warrant coordination with our community. No written consultation was received. In addition,
each of the above - mentioned jurisdictions was invited to comment on the City's draft Plan. No comments
were received.
The City also conducted two public hearings. The first public hearing focuses on performance and the
needs of the community as they relate to housing, homelessness, and community development needs
such as infrastructure, improvement and public services. This hearing took place before the Rosemead
City Council on February 10, 2015 at Rosemead City Hall. The second public hearing provides citizens with
an opportunity to comment on the draft Consolidated Plan and /or Annual Action Plan. This hearing took
place in front of the Rosemead City Council on April 28, 2015 at Rosemead City Hall. Minutes of these
meetings are on file with the City Clerk's Office. Notice of each public hearing was published in the
Rosemead Reader 10 days prior to the hearing date and sent to the organizations listed in Appendix
B. Notices of the public hearing were also posted 10 days prior to each public hearing at City
Hall, Rosemead Library, Rosemead Public Safety Center, Rosemead Post Office, Rosemead Community
Recreation Center, and the City's Website.

The City sent a letter to the directors of the CDBG /HOME Programs for each of the following
jurisdictions: Cities of South El Monte, El Monte, Monterey Park, West Covina, Temple City, Montebello,
San Gabriel, and the Los Angeles Community Development Commission. The letter formally stated that
the update to the City of Rosemead's Consolidated Plan was currently being prepared. The letter
requested input from these jurisdictions on any activities that could be coordinated in such a way to
achieve comprehensive community goals. The letter also requested information on any non - housing
community development that might warrant coordination with our community. No written consultation
was received. In addition, each of the above - mentioned jurisdictions was invited to comment on the City's
draft Plan. No comments were received.

Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal- setting
During the preparation of this Consolidated Plan, a community survey was developed to obtain the views
of the community concerning the housing needs of children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities,
homeless persons, and others with special needs. In addition, a public hearing in the City was held before
the Rosemead City Council on Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City
Hall. It was advertised in the Rosemead Reader on January 29, 2015 (see Appendix D). Notice of the
Public Hearing was sent to the individuals and organizations listed in the Appendix B. Six (6) notices of
the hearing were also posted within the City of Rosemead as required under the Rosemead Municipal
Code Section 1.08.010 (Public places for posting notices). Four organizations (Family Counseling Services,
Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley, People for People, and Southern California Housing Rights Center)
were present and made presentations at the public hearing. A copy of the City Council minutes from this
meeting is on file in the City Clerk's Office.
At the City Council meeting of March 25, 2015, a summary of staff - endorsed projects was reviewed with
the City Council. During this meeting the City Council established how the City should spend the CDBG
and HOME funds. A copy of the City Council minutes from this meeting is on file in the City Clerk's Office.
Based upon the information obtained from staff, and with much deliberation and thought, on April 28,
2015, the City Council held a public hearing approving the Proposed Projects listed in this Action Plan. It
was advertised in the Rosemead Reader on April 16, 2015 (see Appendix F). Notice of the Public Hearing
was sent to the individuals and organizations listed in the Appendix B. Six (6) notices of the hearing were
also posted within the City of Rosemead as required under the Rosemead Municipal Code Section
1.08.010 (Public places for posting notices). A copy of the City Council minutes from this meeting is on
file in the City Clerk's Office.

Needs Assessment
NA -05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
This section presents an assessment of housing and homeless needs followed by housing and supportive
service needs of both homeless persons and those with special needs. Data supporting this section
primarily comes from the following sources: US Census Bureau, California Department of
Finance, Comprehensive Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data book, and the 2002 Gaps Analysis Homeless
Needs Assessment.

OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
NA -10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
HUD's Demographics Table shows that Rosemead's population has remained stable with very little
increase since the 2000 Census. According to the 2013 Census, Rosemead's population increased by about
1.5% from 2000 to 2013 while the number of households also increased by about 3 %.
As you will see in the tables that follow, the most significant single issue identified in this needs
assessment is the large number of Rosemead households, especially lower- income households, with
severe housing cost burdens (households paying more than 50% of their household income for housing).
That said, it is important to recognize that housing affordability is essentially an equation with two
elements, housing cost and income. It will never be possible to successfully address the problem by
focusing solely on reducing the cost of housing through development, purchase or rent subsidies. It is
simply too costly and there will never be enough resources available. It will also be necessary to
implement strategies to address the other half of the equation by increasing the incomes of lower- income
households so that more of them can afford market rate or unsubsidized housing.
While severe housing cost burden is the major issue to be addressed, other important housing issues
include the need to provide financial assistance to homeowners for home repairs, especially for lower -
income homeowners and seniors, and financial and technical assistance to low, moderate and middle
income renters seeking to become first -time homeowners.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
There are approximately 5,230 households at or below 80% AMI that have been identified as having one
or more severe housing problems. 41% of these households are at or below 30% AMI. These 2,150
households live in the lowest quality housing and are under the most imminent threat of homelessness,
thus representing the greatest need within the non - homeless population.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or
victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Although these statistics are not specifically tracked, as related to domestic violence the YWCA WINGS
(Women in Need Growing Strong) Domestic Violence Program operates one of the largest domestic
violence shelters in Los Angeles County. Consultation with the shelter and anecdotal evidence suggests
that the number of families in need of housing assistance is difficult to ascertain for the reason that
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence, and stalking incidents are typically under - reported.
What are the most common housing problems?
The Housing Problem Table shows that the most significant housing problem is cost burden. There are
1,950 renter households and 1,395 homeowner households with incomes under the area median income
with a severe housing cost burden (paying more than half of their household income for housing). In
addition, there are another 1,265 renter households and 890 homeowner households with incomes under
the median income with a moderate housing cost burden (paying more than 30% but less than half of
their household income for housing). Rosemead is widely recognized as a high cost housing market. Based
on HUD's indicators, overcrowding and substandard housing are minor problems compared with housing
cost burden.

OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Are any populations /household types more affected than others by these problems?
Severe Housing Cost Burden by Income Category. Table 9 shows that extremely low income renter
households (renter households with incomes under 30% of AMI) are the largest group (1,345 households)
affected by severe housing cost burden. Such households are generally considered to have "worst case
housing needs ". There are an additional 515 renter households with incomes between 30 and 50% of
AMI with severe housing cost burden. There are also 400 extremely low income homeowner households
with "worst case housing needs" and another 880 homeowner households with incomes between 30%
and 80% of AMI who also have severe housing cost burden.
Severe Housing Cost Burden by Income Category and Household Type. Table 10 provides data on severe
housing cost burden by household type. The largest household type with severe housing burden is
extremely low and very low- income "small related" renter households (845 and 310 households
respectively). This category includes 2 -4 person renter households. Most of these are likely to be single
parent households with one or more children. There are also 290 extremely low income and 155 very
low- income "other" renter households with severe housing cost burden. This category includes single
person non - elderly renter households and two plus person renter households whose members are not
related. It would be helpful if HUD were able to provide a more detailed breakdown of this
category. Extremely low and very low- income large related renter and homeowner households
(households with 5+ members) account for another 405 households with severe housing cost burden. This
number is higher than would be expected since general large related households generally do not have
severe housing cost burden because such households have two or more income earners. Extremely low -
income elderly renter and homeowner households account for another 390 of the households with severe
housing cost burden.
Describe the characteristics and needs of Low - income individuals and families with children
(especially extremely low- income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either
residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of
formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re- housing assistance and
are nearing the termination of that assistance
By the very nature of their financial situation, extremely low income households with a severe housing
cost burden are at a high risk of becoming homeless. According to HUD's data, there are 1,045 non - elderly
large and small family renter households in this situation along with 275 elderly renter households and
290 other (mostly single - person) households. And although overcrowding is generally not a major
problem in Rosemead, over 300 of these extremely low- income renter family households are also living
in overcrowded housing situations.
If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at -risk population(s), it should also include a
description of the operational definition of the at -risk group and the methodology used to
generate the estimates:
Apart from the 1,345 extremely -low renter households and 400 homeowner households with "worst case
needs ", Rosemead does not provide estimates of the at -risk population.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an
increased risk of homelessness
Housing characteristics linked with instability and increased risk of homelessness would include severe
housing cost burden and overcrowding. Many other non - housing characteristics also play a role such as

chronic health issues, unemployment, mental health issues, substance abuse and criminal activity.
Additional information is provided in the NA -40 Homeless Needs Assessment.
Discussion
We have not been able to find a good source of data to estimate the number and family types for victims
of domestic violence at the City level. According to the Los Angeles Housing Service Authority,
approximately 9% of the homeless population is made up of victims of domestic violence. Homelessness
is often precipitated by an incidence of domestic abuse. Survivors of domestic violence who have fled
their homes are principally in need of a safe lodging and safety at work. Additionally, many survivors may
need basic resources such as housing, clothing, and personal items because they had either been
dependent on their abuser for such items and /or had to leave their belongings behind when seeking
refuge. Other support often needed includes: individual counseling, support groups, and services for
children.

NA -15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems — 91.205 (b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to
the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction
We did not find the tables in this section to be particularly helpful because they lump all of the major
types of housing problems together whereas in Rosemead only housing cost burden is significant.
In addition, it is not possible to determine if any racial or ethnic group has a disproportionately greater
need directly from the data presented in the tables in this section. Calculations of the total number of
households in each income category by race and ethnicity are needed to compare their percentage with
a problem for the jurisdiction as a whole with the percentage of each racial group experiencing that
problem.
Extremely Low - Income: In the 0 -30% of AMI income category, 1,805 or 82% of all 2,200 households in the
jurisdiction as a whole have one or more of the four housing problems. 100% of Black /African Americans,
100% American Indian /Alaskan Natives, 85% Asians, 83% Hispanics, and only 63% Whites experience one
or more of the four problems. Based on these figures, Black /African Americans (100 %) and American
Indian /Alaskan Natives (100 %) reach the 92% threshold (82% +10 %) for disproportionate need. All racial
and ethnic categories, with the exception of Whites, at this income level can expect to experience one of
these four needs based on their extremely low incomes.
Very Low- Income: In the 30 -50% of AMI income category, 2,440 or 86% of the all 2,845 households in the
jurisdiction as a whole have one or more of the four housing problems. All racial /ethnic categories, with
the exception of Whites and American Indian /Alaskan Natives exceed the 86% average and only
Blacks /African Americans (100 %) and Pacific Islander (100 %) reach the 96% threshold (86% + 10 %) for
disproportionate need.
Low - Income: In the 50 -80% of AMI income category, 2,300 or 64% of the all 3,600 households in the
jurisdiction as a whole has one or more of the four housing problems. 100% of Black /African Americans
and Pacific Islander, and 77% Asians in this income category experienced one or more of the four housing
problems and reaches the 74% threshold (64 %+ 10 %) for disproportionate need.
Middle- Income: In the 80 -100% of AMI income category, 815 or 48% of the all 1,695 households in the
jurisdiction as a whole have one or more of the four housing problems. 59% Asians in this income category
experienced one or more of the four housing problems and reaches the 58% threshold (48% + 10 %) for
disproportionate need.

Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to

Introduction
Moderate Housing Cost Burden: Approximately 24% of all Rosemead households experienced a moderate
housing cost burden, paying 30 -50% of household income for housing. Only Pacific Islanders experienced
a disproportionate need (40% or 30 out of 75), but 33% blacks and 27% Asians experienced severe housing
cost burden compared with only 7% of Whites. These disparities are largely due to, and reflect gap in
incomes between whites and these two racial and ethnic groups.
Severe Housing Cost Burden: An additional 25% of all Rosemead households experienced a severe
housing cost burden, paying more than 50% of household income for housing. Only Blacks /African
American (50 %) and American /Indian /Alaskan Natives (46 %) experienced a disproportionate need, while
26% Asians experienced severe housing cost burden compared with only 19% of Whites. Again, these
disparities are largely due to, and reflect gap in incomes between whites and Asians.

As with the earlier tables, the calculations would have been easier to follow and been more transparent
if HUD had provided the required totals and percentages. Also, it would also been helpful to have had
these tables broken out by tenure and income level as were the previous generation CHAS tables.

NA -30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion — 91.205(b)(2)
Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately
greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole?
As shown in the tables above, only Rosemead's Blacks /African American and American/ Indian /Alaskan
Natives population has disproportionately greater needs. And although not disproportionate by HUD's
standards, higher percentages of Asians experience severe housing cost burden due to their lower than
average incomes.
If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs?
Optional - not utilized
Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your
community?
Racial and ethnic minorities are spread throughout the community with no large concentration in just one
area of the City.

Introduction
There are no public housing projects in the City of Rosemead. The City works with the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA) who
provides rental assistance to the residents of Rosemead through the Federal Section 8 Voucher program. The primary objective of this program
is to assist low- income (0 to 50% of MR) persons and households in making rents affordable. The following tables are based on the number of
public housing and Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers offered by HACoLA in their unincorporated areas and the cities in Los Angeles County that
do not have their own Housing Authority.

NA -40 Homeless Needs Assessment — 91.205(c)
Introduction:
Homelessness can be defined as the absence of a safe, decent, stable place to live. A person who has no such place to live stays wherever he or
she can find space — an emergency shelter, an abandoned building, a car, an alley, or other place not meant for human habitation. As with most
communities, the extent of homelessness in the City of Rosemead is not always readily apparent. The long -term "chronically" homeless that are
seen every day on the streets are only a small portion of a much larger population of homeless. The rest are families and individuals who find
themselves without a place to live for a period of time. According to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the homeless
population is a diverse mix of young and old, families with children, couples, and single people. The City is committed to serving all Rosemead
homeless persons.

Indicate if the homeless population

If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of days
that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically
homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth):
Unfortunately, the U.S. Census Bureau does not produce counts of the population experiencing homelessness. Due to the lack of information
from the Census, the information concerning the nature and extent of homelessness in Rosemead comes from an analysis of secondary research
sources (such as Federal, State, and local agencies; national non - profit organizations; etc.).
While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact number of homeless persons within the City of Rosemead, indicators such as increasing housing costs,
rising unemployment rates, and low wages coalesce to keep homelessness a problem in the San Gabriel Valley. Putting an end to one's
homelessness depends on a range of individual or family circumstances. Some individuals have long -term needs that require a permanent housing
subsidy and attached services; others are homeless a short period due to an emergency circumstance and may only require shorter -term
interventions.
For persons who are chronically homeless, ending their homelessness requires the development of more permanent supportive housing units. This
type of care ensures that people are not cycling in and out of costly emergency services such as shelters, jails, and emergency rooms that produce
little or poor results in ending homelessness. For persons who are homeless episodically or for short periods of time, housing stability is best
achieved through a combination of activities including rental subsidies, transitional housing, the productions of more affordable housing units to
persons earning 0 -30% of MFI, and programs that offer continuing education and career advancement.
This Consolidated Plan calls for continued examination of data and characteristics to more fully understand the extent of homelessness in the City
of Rosemead. Based on available funds, number of inquiries for services, and number of homeless people in need of service, the City partners
with social service agencies for needed homeless services to help families avoid becoming homeless, assist in reaching out to homeless persons
and assessing their individual needs, addressing housing needs of homeless persons, and assist homeless persons make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living.

and extent of homelessness in Rosemead comes from an analysis of secondary research sources (such as
Federal, State, and local agencies; national non - profit organizations; etc.).
Homelessness in Rosemead is largely driven by the extremely low incomes of adults, combined with
disconnectedness to appropriate systems of support (e.g. ranging from family and friend support to
professional support that promote physical and behavioral health). On a per capita basis, the rate of
homelessness in Rosemead is low compared to other cities of our size. We attribute this to the relatively
willingness of family to double up or provide temporary residence to those who fall on hard times. On
average, there are five or less requests for assistance per year.
While homelessness exists in Rosemead, it is most often visible in the flood control area (Rubio Wash,
Alhambra Wash, and Rio Hondo River) of the City with pockets of encampments from time to time. We
do not have a rural homeless population due to our jurisdiction being only urban and suburban.

Currently, the City of Rosemead does not provide supportive services to the homeless through formal
programs. However, the City does refer homeless individuals and families to the following shelters for
temporary transitional housing and /or support services:
• Catholic Rainbow Outreach - drug recovery program (Men)
• Family Promise — emergency shelter (Families)
• Los Angeles Women Mission - transitional housing (Women)
• Salvation Army /Bell Shelter - drug recovery programs and halfway house (Men & Women)
• Salvation Army Hospitality House — emergency shelter (Homeless Victims)
• Salvation Army Transitional Living Center - transitional & full services (Women & Children of
Domestic Violence)
• The San Gabriel Pomona Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross - emergency shelter
(Homeless Victims of Disaster)
• YWCA (Wings) - transitional & full services (Women & Children of Domestic Violence)
In addition, the following support services are available to Rosemead residents through the following
agencies and service providers:
• 211 LA County: referral service
• Down Payment Assistance Program — purchase of first home
• Fair Housing Services - landlord /tenant information and assistance
• Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA) - referral service
• People for People — food and clothing
• Senior Nutrition Program - nutritious meals
If an individual or family is unable to be assisted immediately by one of the previously mentioned
organizations, they are referred to the Info Line organization in order to be able to access either the Los
Angeles County Voucher Program or other non -local shelters.
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.
Discussion:
The City has conducted a number of homeless counts over the years. The most recent count, in
conjunction with the Los Angeles Housing Service Authority (LAHSA), took place in January 2015, which
Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 49
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
noted 23 homeless individuals on the street. In 2013 and 2011, again in conjunction with LAHSA, there
were approximately 27 and 26 homeless individuals on the street, respectively.
In 1999, 2002, and 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 in each
of these years. 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, in 1999, 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, of which two (2) claimed to be homeless and
unsheltered; one (1) who was unresponsive (but appeared to be unsheltered); and, one (1) whom was
intoxicated and sleeping. In the homeless count conducted in 2005, staff found seven (7) persons at the
twenty sites visited. All of these persons stated that they were homeless.
Based on all the counts conducted within Rosemead, unsheltered homelessness within the City has
remained low and fairly constant since a decline after the 1990 Census. It has ranged from a high of
approximately 27 to a low of 4. 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.
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. On average, there are
five or less requests for assistance per year.

NA -45 Non - Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d)
Introduction:
Certain segments of Rosemead's population are not homeless but still require supportive housing and
other services. These groups generally are in need of housing assistance of one form or another, which
may or may not be typical for the total needs of the City. These groups include elderly households,
persons with disabilities, large families, female headed households, persons with alcohol or other drug
addictions, and persons diagnosed with HIV /AIDS and related diseases.
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
Elderly and Frail Elderly - The 2010 Census identified 6,989 persons age 65 and over. This accounts for
12.9% of the total population and represents an increase in the total percent ( +1.9 %) of persons in this
age group since the 2000 Census. Rising concerns about the cost of Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare,
and other federal entitlement programs threaten housing stability and appropriate in -home health care
for the elderly and frail elderly. The need to forge public private partnerships to deliver services and
housing to the elderly has become increasingly important. This is due to a number of issues including the
growth in the elderly population, the shrinking supply of affordable housing, and the continued move
away from institutionalization and toward community -based care.
Persons with Disabilities - According to the 2009 -2013 American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates, a
total of 8.1% of community residents in Rosemead reported being limited in some activity due to a
physical impairment or health problem. The most common problems reported were limited activity due
to back and neck problems, followed by arthritis, and breathing problems. Persons with mobility
limitations and those with self -care needs represent the largest percentage of disabled persons in need
of supportive and accessible housing in the City of Rosemead. Persons with a mobility limitation require
housing units with special features such as wider doorways, ramps, elevators for multiple story units,
modified cabinets, plumbing, and lighting as well as proximity to public transportation. Persons with a
self -care limitation require supportive housing services to assist with items such as bathing, food
preparation, and household maintenance.
Large Families - Large families (that is, those having five or more members) also represent a special
housing need because they require larger units than the market normally provides, and because larger
units generally cost more. Thus large families can be caught in a bind because the units they can afford
are too small to provide adequate space.
Female- Headed Households - Female- headed households have a need for affordable units that provide
social service's needs such as schools, childcare, recreation programs, and health care, which are of special
concern to these households. Many female- headed households must make do with extremely limited,
sometimes extremely low incomes. The 2010 Census identified 2,502 female headed households. This
accounts for 17.6% of the total household population.
Persons with Alcohol or Other Drug Addictions - Persons with alcohol and other drug addictions often,
because of the behavioral reinforcement their condition requires, need supportive transitional housing
after their initial rehabilitation in order to "practice" their rehabilitated lifestyle. Many require job referral
services and education guidance. In fact, the use of alcohol and drugs places individuals at risk of losing
their employment and persons would be more likely to also become homeless due to loss of
income. Accordingly, the availability of in- patient programs that help individuals enter into and maintain
Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 51
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
recovery become vital to the health and housing needs of this special needs group. Transitional housing
and group homes may also help individuals as they transition from a life of addiction to sobriety. The
classification of chronic addiction as a "disability" may also connect these special needs persons in
accessing longer -term care through permanent supportive housing. This is often the case when a mental
illness accompanies an addiction.
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these
needs determined?
Housing is a critical element in the lives of these populations. The affordability of housing affects a
person's ability to afford other necessities of life such as food and medical care. These households also
typically have additional special needs such as access to day care /childcare, health care, and other
supportive services. Based on available funds, number of inquiries for services, and number of people in
need of service, the City either provides or partners with social service agencies to provide the following
supportive service.
• Asian Pacific Family Center - mental health and substance abuse services
• Angelus /Garvey Senior Housing — rental assistance for seniors
• Dial -A -Ride - transportation service for seniors and disabled
• Down Payment Assistance Program — purchase of first home
• Fair Housing Services - landlord /tenant information and assistance
• Family Counseling— counseling services for youth and their families
• Family Promise — homeless services for families
• Garvey Community Center /Rosemead Community Recreation Center - variety of services
including counseling services, social service programs, recreational programs, and information
and referral services
• Housing Authority County of Los Angeles County— rental assistance
• Merci - supported employment and living, independent living, and community inclusion services
for those with severe to profound developmental disabilities
• Owner- Occupied Rehabilitation Programs - rehabilitation of home
• People for People — food and clothing
• Senior Nutrition Program - nutritious meals
• Vintage California Mission Inn - assisted living facility for seniors and disabled
• YMCA of West San Gabriel Valley — variety of services including child care, after - school
enrichment, youth leadership and development, mentoring and tutoring, youth and adult sports,
fitness, camping, and family support activities
• YWCA — Wings - emergency shelter for women and children
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV /AIDS and their families within
the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:
Information on Rosemead residents diagnosed with HIV /AIDS is difficult to identify. Most agencies do not
break the information down by cities. The following is a list of the agencies the City of Rosemead
contacted that specialize in AIDS and related diseases.
• County of Los Angeles - Health Department
• County of Los Angeles - Department of HIV Epidemiology
• The Center and Project Health Facility
• United States Department of Health and Human Services - The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC)
Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 52
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
These agencies were able to confirm that there is a small percentage of people in Rosemead that have
been infected with HIV /AIDS. Unfortunately, they were not able to identify the exact number. Out of the
small percentage of people with HIV / AIDS residing in Rosemead, it is unknown how many of them, if any,
are in need of supportive housing.
The organizations and facilities listed below offered services to persons diagnosed with AIDS and related
diseases who reside in the City of Rosemead.
• L.A. Center for Alcohol & Drug Abuse (L.A. CADA): L.A. CADA provided AIDS awareness and HIV
outreach programs.
• Southern California Alcohol and Drug Programs ( SCADP): SCADP offer services for people living
with AIDS or HIV.
Discussion:
We do not know how many of these persons are already receiving some type of service. Also, for the
purpose of estimating housing needs, it would be more useful if the data were available at the household
level.

Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities:
The City of Rosemead provides a number of public facilities available for citizens, including libraries, parks,
community centers, swimming pools, and tennis courts. There is a need for public facilities that serve
populations with special needs and for facilities that bring public services as described below into the
communities where they are most needed.
How were these needs determined?
Needs are determined through consultation with services providers.
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements:
Rosemead has a number of public improvement needs, which include sidewalk, streetscape /landscaping,
and other street improvements that would make streets safe and accessible for everyone.
How were these needs determined?
Needs are determined through consultation with other City Departments (i.e. City Manager's Office,
Department of Public Safety, and Department of Public Works).
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services:
Rosemead has a great deal of need for public services, especially given the high poverty rate of over 29.3 %.
These include health services, services for children experiencing homelessness, child care, transportation,
welfare /child welfare, family literacy, financial literacy, job /employment training, education services, and
others.
How were these needs determined?
Through consultation with services providers and research that has been completed by local schools,
services provider agencies, and government agencies.

Housing Market Analysis
MA -05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:
Rosemead's housing market is a very strong, high cost market, both for rental housing and for ownership
housing. Home sales prices have largely recovered from the recent recession. The median home sales
price is $421,700. Rents have skyrocketed to a median rent of $1,197. While this is good news for
homeowners and the housing industry as a whole, this is bad news for low- income renters and prospective
homebuyers.
Theta bles in the next few pages provide some additional data mostly provided by HUD from the American
Community Survey on the cost and other characteristics of Rosemead's housing stock. These data
underestimate the cost of Rosemead's housing and overestimate the affordability of Rosemead's housing
because asking rents for units currently on the market are generally much higher than rents of occupied
units, and many unsubsidized units with "affordable" rents are not necessarily available to lower income

MA -10 Number of Housing Units — 91.210(a) &(b)(2)
Introduction
Single - Family Housing (1 -4 units): Rosemead was developed primarily in the 1950's. The City, prior to
development, was an agricultural community that converted to a bedroom community with the nearly
overnight construction of post -war housing in the 1950's. As shown in the table below, Rosemead now
consists of 15,091 housing units. The data provided by HUD shows that nearly 75% of Rosemead's total
housing stock is in 1 -unit detached structures. In addition, 1 -unit attached structures make up about 10%
of Rosemead's housing stock.
Multi - Family Housing (5+ units): About 9% of Rosemead's housing stock is located in multi - family
buildings with about 5% in smaller buildings (5 -19 units) and 4% in larger buildings (20+ units).
Unit Sizes: Overall, about 7,158 of Rosemead's Housing units have 3 or more bedrooms, 5,308 have 2
bedrooms, 1,466 have 1 bedroom and 481 are 0 -1313 units. On average, owner - occupied units tend to be
larger than renter - occupied units. Only 28% of the renter - occupied units have 3 or more bedrooms while
71% of owner - occupied units have 3 or more bedrooms.

Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 56
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
program is to assist low- income (0 to 50% of MFI) persons and households in making rents
affordable. There is currently a lengthy waiting list for the Section 8 Program with the average wait from
seven to ten years, if not longer. Each applicant is selected from the waiting list in sequence, based upon
date of preliminary application and Voucher availability.
The City of Rosemead has two (2) developments for low- income seniors making below 40% of the median
income with a total of 123 units and two (2) 3- bedroom single - family homes for low- to moderate - income
families.
The City has also provided housing rehabilitation and homebuyer assistance to low- to moderate - income
homeowners since the inception of the CDBG & HOME programs.
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for
any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
There are four (4) housing developments that have received mortgage assistance with the help of Federal,
State, or local funds. The four (4) developments are the Angelus Senior Apartments, the Garvey Senior
Apartments, and two (2) 3- Bedroom Rental units. As discussed in further detail below, none of the four
(4) developments are expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory.
Angelus Senior Apartments - The Angelus Senior Apartments were completed in 1995 and is owned by
the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation. It consists of 51 one - bedroom units. The term of the
lease is for 55 -years from the effective date of the Development Agreement between the City of
Rosemead and the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation or until February 7, 2050. To qualify for
this complex a person must be 62 years of age or older and must income qualify. The maximum income
is 40% of the area median income adjusted for household size. The income limits are reviewed every year
and are subject to change without prior notice.
Risk of Conversion The risk of conversion will not be an issue during the next five years of the
Consolidated Plan. As mentioned above, the earliest possible conversion date for the Angeles Senior
Apartment is February 7, 2050.
Garvey Senior Apartments - The Garvey Senior Apartment was completed in 2002 and is owned by the
Rosemead Housing Development Corporation. It consists of 64 one - bedroom and 8 two bedroom
units. The term of the lease is for 55 -years from the effective date of the Development Agreement
between the Rosemead Community Development Commission, the City of Rosemead and the Rosemead
Housing Development Corporation or until October 30, 2057. To qualify for this complex a person must
be 62 years of age or older and must income qualify. The maximum income is 40% of the area median
income adjusted for household size. The income limits are reviewed every year and are subject to change
without prior notice.
Risk of Conversion The risk of conversion will not be an issue during the next five years of the
Consolidated Plan. As mentioned above, the earliest possible conversion date for the Garvey Senior
Apartment is October 30, 2057.
Two (2) 3- Bedroom Single Family Home - During the FY 2007 -08 and FY 2010 -11, the City entered into
agreements with Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation (RHCDC) for the production of
affordable housing using the 15% CHDO set -aside funding as required under the HOME entitlement
grant. As a result, the City approved two (2) separate 0% deferred payment loans funded by the HOME
CHDO Set -Aside Fund to the Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation for the purchase of two (2)
three - bedroom rental property in Rosemead. Both properties are restricted as rental property for low-
Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 57
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
to moderate - income households and are subject to a 55 -year affordability covenant until May 2063 and
March 2066, respectively.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population?
The availability of housing units does not fit the needs of the population of Rosemead. Rosemead still
faces significant shortages of rental and homeownership units that are affordable to extremely low, low,
middle, and even moderate income households (especially families with children, persons with
disabilities, and permanent housing for the homeless). Additionally, waitlists for both elderly /accessible
and family units are long (8+ years), further reflecting the lack of affordable housing.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
• Quality, affordable housing for extremely low- income and low- income households
• Quality, affordable housing for larger, low- income families with 3 or more bedrooms
• Quality, affordable housing with accessibility features for persons with disabilities
• Permanent housing for the homeless

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels?
Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 59
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
No, there is a shortage of housing at all income levels in the City of Rosemead. The current tight
homeownership market has put further pressure on the rental market. Despite historically low mortgage
interest rates, many households who would normally be seeking to buy are unable to do so due to lenders'
tighter lending standards. They remain in the rental market, putting upward pressure on rents.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and /or
rents?
Given Rosemead's growing population and desirability as a place to live combined with the high cost of
new construction and the drastic reduction in the amount of funding available for subsidized housing
development we can only expect housing affordability to get worse over the next five years.
Neighborhood revitalization through rehabilitation or replacement of existing, lower value housing stock
is a significant political and administrative priority in the City of Rosemead and an emphasis in this
consolidated plan. This is resulting in a focused effort in terms of funding, human resources, and working
with developers. In the mid- to long -term and within the next 5 years, this will result in an increase in
home values and an increase in the availability of affordable rental housing.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact
your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?
Fair market rents are fairly high for the area and are on -par with HUD - defined HOME rent levels. This
underscores the lack of affordable housing in the area. The value of Section 8 vouchers is partially
determined by these HOME rent levels, and having these levels high decreases the amount of housing
that is affordable to a Section 8 voucher holder.

MA -20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing — 91.210(a)
Introduction
Condition of Housing. The data provided by HUD on "condition of housing" is not particularly useful in
estimating the number of housing units needing rehabilitation. The data on condition of units is limited
to four housing conditions: 1) lacks complete kitchen facilities, 2) lacks complete plumbing facilities, 3)
more than one person per room, and 4) cost burden greater than 30 %. Conditions 3 and 4 are not really
relevant to the physical condition of the unit. The only one of these four conditions with significant
numbers is cost burden.
Age of Housing. According to HUD's data, approximately 34% of Rosemead's owner - occupied units and
23% of the renter - occupied units were built before 1950. An additional 48% of the owner - occupied units
and 59% of the renter - occupied units were built between 1950 and 1979. Many of these units are likely
to contain lead paint and /or need other repairs due to the age of the housing.
Lead -Based Paint Hazards. Altogether 82% of Rosemead's housing was built before 1980, most of it
before the use of lead -based paint was banned in 1978. Out of this, only 5% of the pre -1980 owner -
occupied housing and 4% of the pre -1980 renter - occupied housing units have children present.
Vacant and Abandoned Housing. The overall vacancy rate for the City of Rosemead housing units has
increased over the past decade from 3% in 2000 to 4.9% in 2010. This increase was more than likely due
to the recent foreclosure crisis. The vacancy rate for rental properties (3.6 %) continues to be larger than
the vacancy rate for non - rental properties (.08 %).
Definitions
Substandard housing is defined as structurally unsound, violates the City's building codes, is overcrowded,
has incomplete plumbing, or does not meet the Section 8 Existing Housing Quality
Standards. Substandard housing which is suitable for rehabilitation is defined as housing which, in its
current condition, has deficiencies ranging from minor violations of the City building codes to major health
and /or safety violations, which, nevertheless, can be economically remedied and where the necessary
hard cost of the rehabilitation work does not exceed 75% of the replacement value of the property. Where
rehabilitation exceeds 75% of the replacement costs, demolition whould be considered. We review each
request for rehabilitation assistance on a case by case basis and assess both the condition of the property
and the owner's own ability to finance the repairs. We do not fund the rehabilitation of investor -owned
properties.

Rosemead was developed primarily in the 1950's and many of these units are in need of significant repairs
or updating. Many of Rosemead's owner - occupied housing units are occupied by low- income or retired
seniors who cannot afford to make needed repairs or who need to make accessibility improvements to
enable them to stay in their homes. With rents skyrocketing, owners of most investor -owned rental
housing are able to obtain private financing to make the needed repairs without financial assistance. For
older investor -owned rental housing in low -rent neighborhoods, additional financial assistance may be
needed.
Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP
Hazards
The HUD supplied data indicates that there are a total of 600 housing units occupied by families with
children that were built prior to 1980. HUD did not provide data showing the number of pre -1980 housing
units by income level. Based on the income breakouts provided elsewhere in the Consolidated Plan,
approximately 498 (83 %) of these 600 housing units contain lead -based paint and are occupied by low or
moderate income families.

We have not completed the Vacant Units table (Table 40) because we do not have this data.

extent those services are use to complement services targeted to homeless persons
Based on available funds, number of inquiries for services, and number of people in need of service, the
City either provides or partners with social service agencies to provide the following supportive service.
• 211 LA County - referral service
• Down Payment Assistance Program - purchase of first home
• Fair Housing Services - landlord /tenant information and assistance
• Family Promise - support services
• Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA) - referral service
• People for People - food and clothing
• Senior Nutrition Program - nutritious meals
If an individual or family is unable to be assisted immediately by one of the previously mentioned
organizations, they are referred to the 211 Info Line organization in order to be able to access either the
Los Angeles County Voucher Program or other non -local shelters.
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.
List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly
chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their
families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP -40
Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA -35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe
how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations.
Based on available funds, number of inquiries for services, and number of people in need of service, the
City either provides or partners with social service agencies to provide the following supportive service.
• Asian Pacific Family Center - mental health and substance abuse services
• Angelus /Garvey Senior Housing — rental assistance for seniors
• Dial -A -Ride - transportation service for seniors and disabled

due to decreased mobility as they age. Frail elderly may need a unit with an extra room for a personal
care attendant or may need additional services. Persons with disabilities may need a group home with
room for live -in service providers. Persons with HIV /AIDS may need a subsidized housing unit near their
health care providers and may need access to treatment for drug addiction (depending on the mode of
transmission of HIV /AIDS).
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health
institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
Generally speaking, there are no facilities or procedures that designate housing for people returning from
physical or mental health institutions. In some cases of long -term care, coordination may be possible
through the Asian Pacific Family Center. Several organizations provide referrals and limited supportive
services.
Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address
the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect
to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one -year goals.

MA -40 Barriers to Affordable Housing — 91.21O(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment
The principal barrier to affordable housing is a combination of lack of affordable units and low paying
jobs. The cost of housing has risen substantially over the years, with the median housing value increasing
significantly over the past decade. Minimum wage has not kept up with the rising cost of housing, leaving
many households at risk, in poverty, or remaining in substandard units.
Compounding the problem of affordability is the age of Rosemead's housing stock and the subsequent
need for moderate and substantial rehabilitation. Many low and moderate - income homeowners are
unable to afford the costs associated with making necessary repairs, such as for roofs. The presence of
lead -based paint in these older homes, and the expensive cost to remediate these hazards means fewer
units can be treated.
Other barriers to affordable housing include poor credit history. Persons with little or poor credit often
are not pre- approved for loans or are approved at rates that would no longer make their prospective
purchase affordable. Credit counseling courses and programs that target populations with low income
and a poor credit history in combination with First -Time Homebuyer Programs will continue to be a part
of the housing strategy over the next five years.
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.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within
your jurisdiction?
Education and health care services are the largest employment sectors in Rosemead, employing
approximately 14.6% of all workers who live in Rosemead. This is followed by Arts, Entertainment,
Accommodations and Manufacturing each at 13.8 %, Retail Trade 12.8 %, and Other Services
12.5 %. Together, these five sectors employ over two - thirds of all of Rosemead's workers.
Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 75
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
These sectors accurately show the make -up of Rosemead's employment activity. Rosemead is served by
two elementary school districts: Garvey School District and Rosemead School District. There is one public
high school -- Rosemead High School —in the city and three public middle schools: Muscatel Middle School,
Richard Garvey Intermediate School and Roger W. Temple Intermediate School. Don Bosco Technical
Institute, a private high school is also in Rosemead. Rosemead is the home of two post- secondary
educational institutions (University of the West and Pasadena City College). Rosemead is the main urban
center for a large area and therefore contains significant numbers of retail stores, restaurants, and hotels.
In this way, Rosemead also serves as the cultural hub for the region.
Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
Rosemead's business community is seeking an educated, well- trained and largely professional workforce.
As noted above, growth areas for Rosemead include education and health care services; arts,
entertainment, accommodations; and manufacturing. Rosemead also has a large retail trade and service
industry (restaurants and hotels) sector that is largely lower -wage and unskilled.
Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or
regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job
and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for
workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.
The Rosemead City Council authorized the preparation of a Garvey Avenue Corridor Specific Plan and
Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The project area includes the portion of Garvey Avenue from New
Avenue to just east of San Gabriel Boulevard. When finished, the Specific Plan will provide a vision for:
• attracting high quality private development to promote economic development that respects and
reflects community character and is in balance with infrastructure, traffic, and parking demands;
• creating a walkable center with an attractive "sense of place" and provides the neighborhood with
retail, entertainment, office services; and
• promoting transit, bicycle, and pedestrian use and facilities.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment
opportunities in the jurisdiction?
There is sufficient training and educational opportunities in Rosemead to meet the needs of the
employment sectors. If you look at the Educational Attainment by Age table (Table 50) you see that
Rosemead has a very high number of working -age people with some college or an advanced degree. Along
with the many retail, office, and education facilities, the City is home to the Southern California Edison
and Panda Express headquarters, which helps to attract and retain educated, trained, and motivated
individuals in Rosemead.
It should be noted that there are also a disturbing number (833) of 18 -24 year olds who didn't finish high
school along with another 3,368 25 -44 year olds. Median earnings of those without a high school degree
are only $16,762. These young workers are going to be left behind in Rosemead's increasingly competitive
job market. This is reflected in the unemployment rate for youth. Unemployment for 16 -24 year olds is
18.34 %, nearly double the average unemployment rate. However, we do not know how many of these
unemployed youth did not finish high school. This high unemployment rate could be due to
instead families wanting their college and high school aged kids to focus on school rather than work.

Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce
Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts
will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
Skills enhancement and development for employment is supported through programs in several non-
profit organizations. These programs support the Consolidated Plan by addressing the education and
training needs for employment opportunities.
In addition, Rosemead is the home of two post- secondary educational institutions (University of the West
and Pasadena City College).

MA -50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include
a definition of "concentration ")
Due to the makeup of Rosemead's minority and low- income populations, these groups seems to be spread
throughout the community with no large concentration in just one area of the City. For the purpose of
this questions, we are defining concentration as an area where more than 30% of the population is low -
income households with a severe housing cost burden.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low- income families
are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration ")
The following racial and ethnic categories are recognized by the census as "minority ": Black (non -
Hispanic), American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander, and
Hispanic (all races). An area of "minority concentration" is defined as any census tract where the total
percentage of minority households is 40 %. Rosemead's population is now "majority minority ". According
to the US Census, 78.9% of Rosemead residents identify themselves as being a minority. This is due to the
high predominance of Asians and Hispanics. As a result, all 16 census tracts have a high minority
concentration.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines an "area of low- income
concentration" as any census tract where a majority of households (51% or more) qualify as low -
income. HUD defines a low- to moderate - income household as any household whose incomes does not
exceed 80% of the median family income (MFI) for the area.
HUD determines income limits for the Census and adjusts the data annually. The HUD moderate - income
limit for a household of four persons in the City of Rosemead was reported at $65,200 (80% of the MFI)
as of May 2014.
There are a total of sixteen (16) census tracts consisting of 34 block groups in Rosemead. Of which,
thirteen (13) census tracts consisting of 16 block groups qualify as having low- income concentrations
according to HUD.
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas /neighborhoods?
These areas generally have lower median sales prices and rents than the citywide median. In addition, it
was found that census tracts with low- income concentrations have significantly less lending activity than
other areas.
Are there any community assets in these areas /neighborhoods?
Yes, these areas all still generally have significant community assets including bus service, community
centers /parks, commerical centers, professional office buildings, and other services.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?
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.

Priority
Extremely low- income households are likely to experience the greatest cost
burden with a majority of renters paying over half of their income on
housing. The analysis revels that a high priority should be given to reduce the
severe cost burden of extremely low and low- income renters. In addition, the
number of rental units that are substandard should be reduced through
demolition of obsolete structures or rehabilitation activities. Low and moderate -
income renters should also have the opportunity to climb the housing ladder
through programs and financial incentives that position them for
homeownership.

Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System
Overall, the City of Rosemead's community development delivery system has the commitment of many
agencies to achieving these goals and over the past year, has seen enhanced coordination with all agencies
and greater transparency of its activities. Increasingly, the City is focusing its greatest priorities on
enhancing neighborhoods.
The gaps in the institutional delivery system is increasingly limiting resources for cities and communities.
There are often not enough staff to meet increased administrative burdens of federal funds. Also,
coordination between multiple agencies should be increased to avoid duplication of services.

Table 52 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary
Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above
meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and
families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth)
Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 96
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Rosemead has an active homeless network, resources, and support from the Los Angeles Homeless
Service Authority (LAHSA) as well as other service providers. LAHSA Emergency Response Teams (ERT's)
are available to assist residents Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. LAHSA ERT's offer
outreach services to homeless encampment dwellers, emergency services and shelter referrals to
homeless families and unaccompanied adults and youth, direct emergency services and transportation,
and emergency assistance and referrals to social service agencies for people in the County of Los Angeles
who are homeless or at risk of experiencing homelessness.
Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and
persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above
Due to the aging infrastructure in Rosemead and changes in policies for housing service delivery for special
needs populations (from group home approaches to scattered site housing approaches), the institutional
delivery systems in Rosemead are still catching up to addressing long -term housing needs of those with
special needs.
Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and
service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs
We do not believe that there are any major gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system
at this time. However, 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 continues to decline.

SP -55 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
The principal barrier to affordable housing is a combination of lack of affordable units and low paying
jobs. The cost of housing has risen substantially over the years, with the median housing value increasing
significantly over the past decade. Minimum wage has not kept up with the rising cost of housing, leaving
many households at risk, in poverty, or remaining in substandard units.
Compounding the problem of affordability is the age of Rosemead's housing stock and the subsequent
need for moderate and substantial rehabilitation. Many low and moderate - income homeowners are
unable to afford the costs associated with making necessary repairs, such as for roofs. The presence of
lead -based paint in these older homes, and the expensive cost to remediate these hazards means fewer
units can be treated.
Other barriers to affordable housing include poor credit history. Persons with little or poor credit often
are not pre- approved for loans or are approved at rates that would no longer make their prospective
purchase affordable. Credit counseling courses and programs that target populations with low income
and a poor credit history in combination with First -Time Homebuyer Programs will continue to be a part
of the housing strategy over the next five years.
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.
Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing
During the next five years 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.

SP -60 Homelessness Strategy — 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City of Rosemead's Strategic Plan Goal contributions in this area are minimal, as this is largely covered
by outside agencies (i.e. Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority and the San Gabriel Valley Consortium
on Homeless). However, among its goals are to support agencies through cooperation and financial
resources (when avaialble) to carry out this work.
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Same as above.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
Same as above.
Help low- income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low -
income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from
a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and
private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth
needs
Same as above.

SP -65 Lead based paint Hazards — 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards
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 provides 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 provides 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 are 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 is 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 also provides participants with oral and written information
regarding the dangers of lead -based paint. The selected units 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.
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 is required to be completed by a certified risk assessor whenever the
City is notified that a child with an environmental intervention blood lead level (EIB) plans to live in a unit
under the Down Payment Assistance Loan Program.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards?
The City of Rosemead will continue its efforts to:
• Increase access to housing without LBP hazards.
• Rehabilitate homes to address LBP hazards and use Lead Certified Contractors.
• Work with the Los Angeles County Health Department.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures?
The City has taken aggressive action to ensure compliance with HUD's Consolidated Lead -Based Paint
Regulations. Appendix G displays the process and procedures that the City uses to address lead -based
paint in CDBG and HOME - funded Rehabilitation Programs. This matrix is broken into three categories -
rehabilitation under $5,000, rehabilitation $5,000 to $25,000, and rehabilitation over $25,000 - and
describes the approach to lead hazard evaluation and reduction, application to the program, scope of
work, notification, lead hazard evaluation, relocation requirements, lead hazard reduction, clearance, and
options.
The City proactively disseminates information on lead hazards as well as any new /updated regulations to
its internal staff, contractors, non - profit organizations, and other participating agencies that receive
federal funds. To ensure that City staff is knowledgeable about lead regulations, key staff has attended
HUD - sponsored training sessions. In addition, the City compiled an informational source document based
on HUD - sponsored training materials for its participating contractors.

AP -50 Geographic Distribution — 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low- income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
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, fagade 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.

Introduction
The demand for affordable housing for low- and moderate - income households in Rosemead has been
persistent, as the analyses in the Consolidated Plan have demonstrated. The City established maintenance
of affordable housing as a high priority need, and established a goal of rehabilitating 50 owner - occupied
housing units in order to maintain the City's stock of affordable units over the five -year period of the
Consolidated Plan. In addition, the City is focusing on creating 2 new affordable units in cooperation with
a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO).

AP -60 Public Housing — 91.220(h)
Introduction
There are no public housing projects in the City. The City works with the Housing Authority of the County
of Los Angeles who provides rental assistance to the residents of Rosemead through the Federal Section
8 Voucher program. The primary objective of this program is to assist low- income (0 to 50% of MFI)
persons and households in making rents affordable. There is currently a lengthy waiting list for the Section
8 Program with the average wait from seven to ten years, if not longer. Each applicant is selected from
the waiting list in sequence, based upon date of preliminary application and Voucher availability. There
are four (4) housing developments that have received mortgage assistance with the help of Federal, State,
or local funds. The four (4) developments are the Angelus Senior Apartments, the Garvey Senior
Apartments, and two (2) 3- Bedroom Rental units.
Angelus Senior Apartments - The Angelus Senior Apartment was completed in 1995 and is owned by the
Rosemead Housing Development Corporation. It consists of 51 one - bedroom units. The term of the lease
is for 55 -years from the effective date of the Development Agreement between the City of Rosemead and
the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation or until February 7, 2050. To qualify for this complex a
person must be 62 years of age or older and must income qualify. The maximum income is 40% of the
area median income adjusted for household size. The income limits are reviewed every year and are
subject to change without prior notice.
Risk of Conversion The risk of conversion will not be an issue during the next five years of the
Consolidated Plan. As mentioned earlier, the earliest possible conversion date for the Angeles Senior
Apartment is February 7, 2050.
Garvey Senior Apartments - The Garvey Senior Apartment was completed in 2002 and is owned by the
Rosemead Housing Development Corporation. It consists of 64 one - bedrooms and 8 two bedrooms. The
term of the lease is for 55 -years from the effective date of the Development Agreement between the
Rosemead Community Development Commission, the City of Rosemead, and the Rosemead Housing
Development Corporation or until October 30, 2057. To qualify for this complex a person must be 62
years of age or older and must income qualify. The maximum income is 40% of the area median income
adjusted for household size. The income limits are reviewed every year and are subject to change without
prior notice.
Risk of Conversion The risk of conversion will not be an issue during the next five years of the
Consolidated Plan. As mentioned earlier, the earliest possible conversion date for the Garvey Senior
Apartment is October 30, 2057.
Two (2) 3- Bedroom Single Family Homes - During the FY 2007 -08 and FY 2010 -11, the City entered into
agreements with Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation (RHCDC) for the production of
affordable housing using the 15% CHDO set -aside funding as required under the HOME entitlement
grant. As a result, the City approved two (2) separate 0% deferred payment loans funded by the HOME
CHDO Set -Aside Fund to the Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation for the purchase of two (2)
three - bedroom rental property in Rosemead. Both properties are restricted as rental property for low -
to moderate - income households and are subject to a 55 -year affordability covenant until May 2063 and
March 2066, respectively.

AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
Introduction
Given the limited resources and small amount of homeless in the City of Rosemead, homeless activities
have been given a low priority in the 2015 -2019 Consolidated Plan and subsequent annual action plans.
The City is relying on coordinated efforts with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) to
provide shelter opportunities; the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless to provide
information, counseling, and referral services to homeless persons that reside in Rosemead, Family
Promise of San Gabriel Valley to provide emergency shelter services and social services for families with
children, as well as other local agencies in providing services for homeless persons.
Describe the jurisdictions one -year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City will work with the above agencies to reach out to homeless persons and assess their individual
needs.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City provides an annual allocation of CDBG funds toward the operation of Family Promise of San
Gabriel Valley, a homeless shelter for families with children. This year the City expects this investment of
CDBG funds will benefit 5 families. The City will also work with LAHSA and the East San Gabriel Valley
Coalition for the Homeless to address emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless
persons.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
As stated above, the City is relying on coordinated efforts with LAHSA, the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition
for the Homeless, and Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley to make the transition to permanent housing
and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience
homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and
preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
Helping low- income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low- income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded
institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster
care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs

AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j)
Introduction:
See discussion below.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The City of Rosemead is committed to addressing the negative effects of public policies over which it has
control. In order to promote integration and prevent low- income concentrations, the City designed its
affordable housing programs to be available Citywide. This priority also serves to make sure that the City
does not have any policies, rules, or regulations that would lead to minority or racial concentrations.
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 maintains its current posture of
openness and willingness to entertain new ideas and eliminate any regulatory barriers under its control
in the provision of a variety of housing to meet the needs of all income groups.
In addition, the City continues to work cooperatively within existing legislatively mandated constraints
and worked to develop and /or encourage public policies that foster further affordable housing
development and assistance.

Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 138
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
AP -85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
Introduction:
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.
Actions planned 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.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City of Rosemead will foster and maintain affordable rental and owner - occupied housing through the
different programs funded with CDBG and HOME funds. Successful implementation of these efforts relies
on the collaborative effort of many community partners including public agencies, government, housing
developers, non - profit agencies, and neighborhoods. The City will use its own City newsletter and
website, as well as community events to promote these services, and to promote its housing and
community service programs.
Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards
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:
Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 139
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
• 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.
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.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
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
• Angelus /Garvey Senior Housing — rental assistance for seniors
• Dial -A -Ride - transportation service for seniors and disabled
• Down Payment Assistance Program — purchase of first home
• Fair Housing Services - landlord /tenant information and assistance
• Family Counseling— counseling services for youth and their families
• Family Promise — homeless services for families
• Garvey Community Center /Rosemead Community Recreation Center - variety of services
including counseling services, social service programs, recreational programs, and information
and referral services
• Housing Authority County of Los Angeles County — rental assistance
• Merci - supported employment and living, independent living, and community inclusion services
for those with severe to profound developmental disabilities
• Owner- Occupied Rehabilitation Programs - rehabilitation of home
• People for People — food and clothing
• Senior Nutrition Program - nutritious meals
• Vintage California Mission Inn - assisted living facility for seniors and disabled
• YMCA of West San Gabriel Valley — variety of services including child care, after - school
enrichment, youth leadership and development, mentoring and tutoring, youth and adult sports,
Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 140
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
fitness, camping, and family support activities
• YWCA — Wings - emergency shelter for women and children
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.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
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's
Community Development Department is the lead agency in the coordination of the Action Plan. It
coordinates the economic activities, develops and implements the programs that rehabilitate and
preserve the neighborhoods, develops and rehabilitates affordable housing, and provides rental
assistance to the very low- income and special -needs segments of the City's population.
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. 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. Guidelines for
expenditure of CDBG and HOME funds are provided as needed or when changes to 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.
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. In addition, foundation giving
is declining. 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.
Consolidated Plan ROSEMEAD 141
OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
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
Institutions playing a major role in delivery of community development programs often have different
mandates, and consequently different priorities and strategies to achieve them. These mandates are most
often imposed by Congress, and reflected through the regulations of federal funding agencies. In several
cases, goals may overlap or conflict.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
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).
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.
Discussion:
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.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, a public hearing will be held before
the Rosemead City Council for citizens input into the development of the City's Five -Year Consolidated Plan for the
period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2020 and FY 2015 -16 Annual Action Plan. A Consolidated Plan is required
by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a condition of receiving federal funding
through them. The City currently receives funding under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program.
In summary, the Consolidated Plan serves four separate, but integrated, functions. The Consolidated Plan is:
a planning document for the jurisdiction, which builds on a participatory process at the lowest levels; an application
for federal funds under HUD's formula grant programs: CDBG, HOME, Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG), and
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA); a strategy to be followed in carrying out HUD programs;
and lastly, an action plan that provides a basis for assessing performance. The City's current Consolidated Plan is set
to expire on June 30, 2015.
The Consolidated Plan is required to include an Annual Action Plan for the Fiscal Year period July
1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. The Annual Action Plan includes a list of the activities the City will undertake to
address priority needs and local objectives with anticipated program income and funds received during the next
program year for meeting housing and community development objectives. The Annual Action Plan is to be submitted
annually.
Federal funding awards have not yet been announced, however cuts to the CDBG and HOME program are
being considered by Congress at this time. While the City has not yet been notified of the grant amounts that will be
available to meet identified needs within Rosemead for the FY 2015 -16, it is estimated that the City will receive
decreases in its current $634,720 allocation of CDBG funds and $214,113 allocation of HOME funds, but will not be
certain until federal notification of awards.
It should be noted that under the CDBG program eligible projects must either provide benefits to low or
moderate - income persons, eliminate slum or blighted conditions, or is an urgent need. In addition, at least 70% or
more of the FY 2015 -16 entitlement total must be used for activities benefiting low and moderate - income residents of
Rosemead. Of the HOME funds received, funds can only be used for housing activities benefiting low or moderate -
income persons.
In preparing the Five -Year Consolidated Plan, the statute requires that the jurisdiction hold at least one public
hearing during the development of the Consolidated Plan in order to obtain the views of citizens on housing and
community development needs. Public hearings are held in order to provide the community an opportunity to
comment on, and respond to, recommendations and issues.
The Consolidated Plan must be submitted to HUD at least 45 days before the start of the program year, July
1, 2015, but no earlier than November 15, and no later than August 16, of the federal fiscal year for which grant funds
are appropriated.
The City of Rosemead intends to provide reasonable accommodations in accordance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990. If special accommodations are required, please call Michelle Ramirez, Community
Development Director, at (626) 569 -2158, at least 48 hours prior to the February 10 Public Hearing.
Citizens' wishing to comment on the City's Five -Year Consolidated Plan or FY 2015 -16 Annual Action Plan
after the February 10' public hearing must do so in writing by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Written

PUBLIC NOTICE
TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS
The City of Rosemead's Five -Year Consolidated Plan (Plan) for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30,
2020 which includes the Annual Action Plan for the Fiscal Year (FY) period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 will
be available for public review and comment beginning Thursday, March 26, 2015. The City of Rosemead welcomes
any recommendations, suggestions, or other input on this Plan. The Plan has been prepared according to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations. A copy of HUD's final rule (issued January 5,
1995, Federal Register) is available upon request
The Plan is a planning document for the jurisdiction, an application for federal funds under HUD's formula
grant programs (Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME),
Emergency Shelter Grants, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS), a strategy to be followed in carrying
out HUD programs, and an action plan that provides a basis for assessing performance. The City's current Plan is set
to expire on June 30, 2015. The Annual Action Plan includes the proposed activities, resources and expenditures for
the CDBG and HOME programs.
HUD requires a Five Year Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan in order for the City to receive
federal funds under the CDBG and HOME programs. In past years, these monies has been used for a wide variety of
activities, including housing rehabilitation, commercial rehabilitation, code enforcement, graffiti removal and various
capital improvements including street improvements, curb cuts for the handicapped and park facilities.
The City has been notified by HUD that Rosemead will be receiving $647,307 in CDBG funds for FY 2015-
16, which is over a 1% increase from its FY 2014 -15 allocation, and $214,113 in HOME funds, which is over a 6%
cut from its FY 2014 -15 allocation. When combined with projected carryover funds and anticipated program income,
the City anticipates having a total of $756,057 of CDBG funds available and $736,162 in HOME funds available for
the 2015 -16 year.
It should be noted 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
is an urgent need. In addition, of the CDBG funds received, no more than 15% of the annual grant amount can be
used for public services and no more than 20% of the grant amount can be used for Planning and Administrative
services. More than 70% of all funds received must be used for low -to- moderate income activities. Of the HOME
funds received, no more than 10% can be used for administrative and program delivery activities. 15% is set aside for
Community Housing Development Organizations, as constituted under the regulations. The balance of funds can only
be used for housing activities.
The Plan will be available for public examination and copying starting Thursday, March 26, 2015. Persons

Attention: Mrs. Michelle Ramirez
Community Development Director
The City of Rosemead plans to minimize displacement of persons as a result of CDBG and HOME funded
activities by concentrating the expenditure of these funds on activities that:
1. Involve housing rehabilitation moderate in nature, or
2. Include administrative and planning costs not accepting displacement.
However, understanding that certain projects undertaken with CDBG and HOME funds could result in
displacement, the City of Rosemead has developed a plan to assist persons actually displaced by CDBG and HOME
activities. This plan requires that the City provide replacement housing and relocation assistance and benefits in
conformance with Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and the
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended. A copy of the plan
is available for public inspection.
In addition, pursuant to Section 508 of the Act, the City of Rosemead has developed and is following a
detailed Citizen Participation Plan. A copy of the plan is available for public inspection.

period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2020 which includes the Annual Action Plan for the Fiscal Year (FY) period
July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
The Plan is: a planning document for the jurisdiction, which builds on a participatory process at the lowest

(CDBG) program, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG), and Housing

The Annual Action Plan includes the proposed activities, reso Les and expenditures for the CDBG and
HOME programs. The City of Rosemead welcomes any recommendations, suggestions, or other input on the City's
Fiscal Year 2015 -16 Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan must be prepared according to the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations. A copy of HUD's final rule (issued January 5, 1995, Federal
Register) is available upon request
HUD requires a Five Year Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan in order for the City to receive
federal funds under the CDBG and HOME programs. In past years, these monies has been used for a wide variety of
activities, including housing rehabilitation, commercial rehabilitation, code enforcement, graffiti removal and various
capital improvements including street improvements, curb cuts for the handicapped and park facilities.
FUNDING SOURCES AVAILABLE FOR USE: The City has been notified by HUD that Rosemead will

It should be noted that under the CDBG program eligible projects must either provide benefits to low or
moderate - income persons, eliminate slum or blighted conditions, or is an urgent need. In addition, at least 70% or
more of the FY 2015 -16 entitlement total must be used for activities benefiting low and moderate - income residents of
Rosemead. Of the HOME funds received, funds can only be used for housing activities benefiting low or moderate -
income persons.
In the interest of achieving proposed activities listed in the City's Annual Action Plan, the following uses of

CITY OF ROSEMEAD
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
(For all Federally Funded Grant Programs)
INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to Section 104(a)(3) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 as
amended, the City of Rosemead first adopted this Citizen Participation Plan in June of 1978
(previously revised in 1979, 1988, and 1991). 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. Citizen
Participation does not restrict the responsibility or the authority of the City for the development
execution of its Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan.
