The 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan is required to include an Annual Action Plan for the period of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, which covers the first year of the five-year plan. 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 as outlined in the Consolidated Plan.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions: AGENDA ITEM 4.A City Council Meeting March 24,2020 Page 2 of 6 1. Conduct a public hearing and take public testimony on the Consolidated Plan covering the period July 1, 2020 —June 30, 2025 and Annual Action Plan covering the period July 1, 2020—June 30, 2021. 2. Authorize Staff to open 30-day comment period for Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. BACKGROUND The City of Rosemead is a federal entitlement grant recipient of Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As part of the process to receive funding, the City must undertake development of a Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. It is called a Consolidated Plan because it consolidates the application process for HUD's four (4) entitlement grants into one consolidated plan and application. The four grants are: CDBG, HOME, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). All four grants are driven by an entitlement formula process set by the federal government. The City is eligible to participate in two (2) of these programs: CDBG and HOME. In order to receive the FY 2020-21 allocations, the City must comply with the following requirements of the Consolidated Plan final rule regarding pre-submission requirements: ➢ Fulfill citizen participation requirements by conducting a public hearing to receive citizen input regarding annual funding needs; ➢ Publish a Draft 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 Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan. HUD requires every state and local government that receives CDBG and HOME funding to prepare a five-year comprehensive plan which brings community needs and resources together to achieve statutory goals, and thereby address decent housing, create a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for the city's residents, particularly for low- and moderate- income persons. As an Entitlement Community,the City of Rosemead is required to prepare and submit a five-year Consolidated Plan that serves as the federal planning document for receiving CDBG and HOME Program funds. The City is also required to prepare and submit an Annual Action Plan to HUD which serves to update and delineate efforts in the program year ahead toward meeting the priorities established by the City in its Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan operates on a single program year established by the City (i.e., July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021), whereas the Consolidated Plan covers a five-year planning period (July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2025). City Council Meeting March 24,2020 Page 3 of 6 Below is a list of goals for the next five-year period that were discussed during the community engagement that was completed earlier this year. Proposed funding is also included in the table.

The Annual Action Plan is a part of the Consolidated Plan, which takes all HUD requirements regarding planning, needs analysis, reporting, budgeting, citizen participation and certifications and incorporates them into one process. The full Consolidated Plan must be completed once every five (5)years and the Annual Action Plan must be completed annually. ANALYSIS 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 2020-21. 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 satisfy an urgent need. In addition, of the CDBG funds received, no more than 15% ($113,132) of the annual grant amount can be used for social service activities; no more than 20% ($150,843) of the grant amount can be used for Planning and Administrative services; and at least 70% of all funds must be used for low-to-moderate income activities. City Council Meeting March 24,2020 Page 6 of 6 It should be noted that there were no new public service funding requests submitted for the FY 2020-21. Funding requests from Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley and Housing Rights Center have been received at the same amounts as last year. The Annual Action Plan continues to include funds for the City's Senior Nutrition Services at the Garvey Center and the Summer Youth Employment Program that was added last year as part of the Substantial Amendment to the Annual Action Plan and it would be appropriate to continue to support the public service agencies at the proposed funding levels.. HOME Program In reviewing the HOME funds recommendations, it would be appropriate for the City Council to remember that no more than 10% ($35,671) can be used for administrative and program delivery activities. At least 15% ($53,507) must be set aside for CHDO, as constituted under the regulations. The balance of funds can only be used for housing activities. Unexpended amounts were carried over from the FY 2020-21 budget for Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loans and the affordable housing program. These funds are being used to assist with the acquisition of land for the Veteran's Housing Project which is covered in the current Consolidated Plan. FISCAL IMPACT - The Annual Action Plan includes HUD funding allocation for CDBG and HOME programs. STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT-The beautification of residential neighborhoods and enhanced quality of life are a couple of goals and priorities in the City's Strategic Plan that are supported through the goals and activities established in the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS Notice of the public hearing was published in the Rosemead Reader on March 9, 2020, as well as through the regular agenda notification process.

Introduction As a condition for the City of Rosemead (City) to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership(HOME)funds,the City must submit a five year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan)outlining the jurisdiction's housing and community development needs and priorities,and an Annual Action Plan identifying how the jurisdiction plans to allocate its US Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)funding allocations to address those priority needs.This report utilizes HUD's current standard template for producing the 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan (Con Plan), 2020- 2021 Annual Action Plan, and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) directly within HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). The Con Plan consists of three major sections: (1) a housing and community development needs assessment; (2) a housing market analysis; and (3) 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 three to five years. 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The strategies and projects outlined in the Con 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 in order to meet the objectives outlined in the plan.The Annual Action Plan will focus on goals established within the Five-Year 2020-2025 ConPlan-Strategic Plan. During the development of the Con Plan, the City solicited 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 Los Angeles County Development Authority (formally the Los Angeles County Development Commission) 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 Con Plan include: 1. Preserve the City's existing affordable housing stock for low-and moderate-income households (LMI) in the 0 to 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) category; 2. Promote, increase, maintain homeownership for LMI households; 3. Provide safe, affordable, decent housing for LMI renters; 4. Assist with energy efficient improvements; 5. Provide supportive services for non-homeless persons with special needs; and 6. Promote fair housing among all income categories. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 5 01 4.4Ecti) EAD 3. Evaluation of past performance The City's 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan is near the end--with the fifth and final year(2020)sunsetting on June 30, 2020. Overall, the strategies and goals outlined in the Con Plan are evaluated and reported out annually through the CAPER process.The CAPER covers a program year(July 1St-June 30th)and is prepared by the City's Community Development Department. The City has made progress meeting Con Plan goals and priority needs. Many of the activities performed have contributed to stabilizing the City's low--income neighborhoods and improved the living conditions of low-to moderate-income families and individuals. • Major activities focused on preservation of the City's affordable housing stock through renovations performed on owner-occupied housing. The scope of the renovations varied depending on the program and household needs with improvements ranging from basic health and safety improvements to full scale renovation projects eliminating blighted conditions. • Homeownership opportunities for low-to moderate-income persons remained a priority program for the City. New housing development and homeownership programs promote pride and long- term resident stability; however, because of economic conditions, lack of adequate public funding, restricted access to mortgage credit, and high land prices, applications and completed projects have fluctuated and remained low for the First Time Homebuyer program. • Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) administered by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) on behalf of the City of Rosemead, offered tenant assistance for those qualifying low-to moderate-income residents. • Housing,supportive services,and case management were provided to homeless persons through several of the City's subrecipients such as Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority. Emergency,transitional,and permanent support was provided based on client need. Funding of non-profit facilities that serve the homeless and other eligible recipients and neighborhoods align with the goals and strategies outlined in the Con Plan. The City continues to strategically collaborate with partner organizations in order to leverage limited available funds and expertise to provide resources to address ongoing affordable housing issues. The most recent past performance evaluation and reporting can be found in the FY 2018-2019 Comprehensive Annual Performance Evaluation Report (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 The City and consultant have briefed the City Council on the ConPlan and expects to hold public meetings in early 2020. The City has undertaken diligent and good faith efforts to outreach to all segments of the community that may benefit from the CDBG, and HOME programs. In November 2019, the community was asked to help identify issues and priority needs in the areas of housing, parks and recreation, community facilities, social services, and fair housing via an online survey platform. The survey allowed respondents to rank in order of importance from "least important"to"extremely important"for the most needed community housing projects and services; moreover,the survey captured critical information on 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 6 6 104 OSE EAD housing discrimination, and barriers to housing choice. A series of stakeholder interviews were held in July 2019 with responsible public agencies and non-profits that work with housing issues in the City.The City and Consultant have briefed the City Council on the Con Plan and expect to hold public hearings in early 2020. 5. Summary of public comments Qualitative feedback collected through the community survey, and public hearings provided insight into priority needs in the community.Top needs identified via the survey were: • Affordable rental housing, energy-efficient home improvements, senior housing, housing for disabled, and homeownership down payment assistance ranked as extremely important; • Youth centers, and parks and recreation ranked as extremely important for most needed community facilities--followed by a neighborhood community center, senior centers, and having ADA accessibility to facilities; • The prevention of homelessness ranked as extremely important; • Community improvements including street and sidewalk improvements, street lighting, safe routes to school, and graffiti removal ranked as very important; and • After-school care, addressing neighborhood crime, and at-risk youth as well as park and recreation needs ranked as extremely important. Based on surveys received, housing discrimination had not been experienced by respondents, but believe that it may exist in their neighborhood for people of a different race, ethnicity, or disability. Respondents identified the cost of home maintenance and the lack of larger housing units as challenges; and felt that single-family homes are most needed in the City, followed by senior housing, and multi- family apartments. Lastly, the high cost of housing and rising land prices viewed most commonly as impediments. 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them To be completed after public hearings. 7. Summary The City of Rosemead's 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan reflects a unified vision to meet the identified needs of the community and provide benefits to low- and moderate-income individuals and families over the next five years, financial assistance and the support of the community will be directed toward the following areas: 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 7 A OSE EAD • Expand Fair Housing choice and access; • Expand affordable housing opportunities; • Maintain viable and efficient energy efficient housing and commercial areas; • Maintain safe and green neighborhoods; and • Provide vital public services.

Consistent with this policy document, top recommendations that are consistent with the Con Plan are: • Preservation and enhancement of Existing Housing Stock • Design Assistance for property improvement questions • Prepare list of opportunity sites for new development of low- to moderate-income housing • Increase housing stock and encourage infill development • Down payment assistance for first time low-to moderate-income homebuyers • Codes enforcement to maintain and enhance the quality of existing residential neighborhoods • Promote fair housing opportunities for all economic segments of the community, regardless of age, sex, ethnic background, physical condition, or family size. Continuum of Care County of Los Angeles The County is a Continuum of Care (CoC) applicant and conducts homeless counts, surveys of the homeless population, and strategic planning to end homelessness. Consistent with the goals of the CoC, the City's Strategic Plan in the Con Plan will provide support to nonprofits that meet the social services needs of LMI residents with a direct emphasis on assisting the homeless. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 14 c t' ®SE EAD LJay'.tini.Jl lu.n,\merira Los Angeles County Department of DRP has developed a variety of planning studies Regional Planning and model ordinances that support: (DRP) • Interim and Supportive Housing • Equity Indicators Tool • Second Dwelling Unit (Accessory Dwelling Unit) Pilot Program • Housing Initiatives that increase housing choice, affordability, and livability • Inclusionary housing ordinance.

Data supporting this section primarily comes from the following sources: US Census Bureau, California Department of Finance,Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy(CHAS)data book, Point- in-Time (PIT) count, and the Report of Homeless Housing Gaps in the County of Los Angeles. Each year,the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) receives custom tabulations of American Community Survey(ACS)data from the US Census Bureau.These datasets,known as the"CHAS" data (Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy), demonstrate the extent of housing problems and housing needs, particularly for low-income households.CHAS cross-references each income category with other data, such as, race/ethnicity, home tenure,, household size, age of housing, number of vacant housing units, and as described in the paragraph above, household problems such as: • Units with physical defects (lacking complete kitchen or bathroom); • The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development defines an overcrowded unit as a unit occupied by 1 or more persons over the age of twelve per room (excluding bathrooms and kitchens); • Housing cost burden, including utilities, exceeding 30 percent of gross income; and • Severe housing cost burden, including utilities, exceeding 50 percent of gross income. Data regarding housing problems, as described above, is cross-referenced with numbers of households experiencing low income, at the following levels: • Extremely low income: Households earning 0-30 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) • Low income: Households earning 30-50 percent of the AMI • Moderately low income: Households earning 50-80 percent of the AMI The data collected points to several factors related to housing needs and the impediments to meeting these needs for City residents. Overall housing costs are a huge factor with cost burden of greater than 30 percent of average mean income impacting many low-income renters and owners. Housing costs and overcrowding of units remain an issue for middle-income households.And in terms of racial groups most affected by housing difficulties, Asian and Hispanic families rank the highest;this does correlate with the City's demographics with Asian as the largest ethnic group,followed by Hispanic. The number of homeless individuals counted in the City is relatively low compared to the overall City population but has increased over the past 10 years.The 91 persons counted were unsheltered, primarily living in make-shift shelters or on the street. The majority of these are Hispanic men, however, roughly one-third of the homeless are women. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 18 Elderly residents and those with disabilities related to age are identified as in need of housing services and specialized housing. The City does provide referral assistance to social service agencies, affordable and senior housing facilities, and rental and mortgage assistance providers. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 19 NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c) Summary of Housing Needs HUD's Demographics Table shows that the City's population has remained stable with very little increase between 2009 and 2015.According to the 2015 Census,the City's population increased by about 2 percent from 2009 to 2015 while the number of households also increased by about 4 percent.Significantly,there has been a change in median income with a decrease of 2 percent between 2009 and 2015. As shown in the following tables, the most significant single issue identified in the needs assessment is the large number of households, especially lower-income households, with severe housing cost burdens (households paying more than 50 percent of their household income for rent and over 30 percent of their income for homeowners.) It is important to recognize that housing affordability is essentially an equation with two elements: (1) housing cost and (2) 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 families 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.

There are approximately 5,275 households at or below 80 percent AMI that have been identified as having one or more severe housing problems. Over 50 percent of these households are at or below 30 percent AMI. These 2,750 households live in the lowest quality housing and are under the imminent threat of homelessness, 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. The LAHSA 2018 Point in Time Count reports 30 percent of all individuals who need emergency shelter are victims of domestic violence; 45 percent are in transitional housing and 15 percent are in permanent supportive housing.The 2019 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count summary data for SPA 3 (San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles County) indicates there are 1,573 persons that were victims of domestic violence and/or partner violence and 366 homeless persons fleeing from domestic and/or partner violence. What are the most common housing problems? The Housing Problem Tables (Tables 7 through 12)show that the most significant housing problem is cost burden.There are 2,225 renter households and 590 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 1,510 renter households and 835 homeowner households with incomes under the median income with a moderate housing cost burden (paying more than 30 percent but less than half of their household income for housing). The City 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. Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Table 9 shows that extremely low-income renter households (renter households with incomes under 30 percent AMI) are the largest group (2,585 households) affected by severe housing cost burden. Such households are generally considered to have "worst case housing needs". There are an additional 1,645 renter households with incomes between 30-50 percent AMI with severe housing cost burden.There are also 634 extremely low-income homeowner households with "worst case housing needs" and another 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 25 579 homeowner households with incomes between 30-80 percent AMI who also have severe housing cost burden. Severe Housing Cost Burden by Income Category. Table 10 provides data on severe housing cost burden by household type (households spending greater than 50 percent of the household income on housing). The largest household type with severe housing cost burden is extremely low- and very low-income "small related" renter households (1,275 and 380 households respectively).This category includes two 4-person renter households. Most of these are likely to be single parent households with one or more children.There are also 210 extremely low-income and 10 very low-income "other" renter households with severe housing cost burden. This category includes single person, non-elderly renter households and two or more 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 or more members) account for another 460 households with severe housing cost burden. This number is higher than would be expected since 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 535 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. Extremely low-income households, roughly 3,725 households(or 25%of the City's total households), are cost burdened in the City and are at risk of becoming homeless. Other low income categories exhibiting high number of households in the City include large and small family renter households (1,575 households), and 400 elderly renter and 200 single parent households.The needs of these categories are: • Increase the number of 1 and 3 bedroom rental dwelling units • Retrofit existing dwelling units to be more accessible • Accessible public and community facilities • Rental and childcare assistance • Activities and programs that raise median income • Continued fair housing practices to reduce the changes of housing discrimination 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 1,775 extremely low-renter households and 3,600 homeowner households with "worst case needs",the City does not calculate estimates of the at-risk population. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 26 Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness The lack of affordable housing, absence of rent control, severe housing cost burden, and overcrowding are some housing characteristics linked with instability and increased risk of homelessness. Other non- housing factors that play a role are chronic health issues, unemployment, mental health issues,substance abuse, domestic violence,and criminal activity.Additional information is provided in the NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment section. 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 30 percent of the homeless population is made up of victims of domestic violence. Homelessness is often precipitated by incidence of domestic abuse. Survivors of domestic violence who have fled their homes are mainly in need of safe lodging and safety at work. Additionally, many survivors may need basic resources such as housing, clothing,and personal items because they either depended on their abuser for such items and/or left belongings behind upon fleeing for refuge. Other support often needed include individual counseling, support groups,and services for children. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 27 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 When comparing to the 2015-2020 Con Plan,where Black/African American and American Indian/Alaska Native households had disproportionate need five years ago,today none of the ethnic categories actually reached the level of disproportionate need. HUD defines a disproportionate need exists when any group has a housing need that is 10 percent or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole.While housing problems were greatest for Asian and Hispanic families,the need for decent housing was more widely spread among all races and ethnicities, as such no one race reached a disproportionate level. Housing cost burden is the most significant factor in the City today. Discussion Extremely Low Income (0-30 percent AMI): In this income category, 88 percent (3,285 people) out of all 3,725 households in the City have one or more of the four housing problems.Almost 90 percent of Asian households, 88 percent Hispanics, and 71 percent Whites are experiencing one or more of the four problems. Based on these figures, none of the ethnic groups reaches the 98 percent threshold (88 percent + 10 percent) for disproportionate need. All racial and ethnic categories, with the exception of Black/African American and American Indian/Alaska Native,at this income level can expect to experience one of these four needs based on their extremely low incomes. This is a significant change from the previous Con Plan where those groups were the most affected by disproportionate need. 0%-30%of Area Median Income Housing Problems Has one or more Has none of the Household has of four housing four housing no/negative problems problems income, but none of the other housing problems Jurisdiction as a whole 3,285 315 125 White 110 40 4 Black/African American 0 0 0 • Asian 1,880 175 45 American Indian,Alaska Native 0 I 4 0 Pacific Islander 4 0 0 Hispanic 1,265 95 79 Table 13-Disproportionally Greater Need 0-30%AMI Data Source:2011-2015 CHAS *The four housing problems are: 1. lacks complete kitchen facilities; 2. lacks complete plumbing facilities; 3. more than one person per room; and 4. cost burden greater than 30 percent.

Introduction An estimated 12 percent of the total households in the City have severe housing problems; however, a larger problem is household cost burden shown in section NA-25. The percentage of Asian households having disproportionately greater housing problems than other races has significantly increased over the past five years(see below tables).They are joined by Hispanic households in the low-and middle-income categories. Discussion Extremely Low Income (0-30 percent AMI): In this income category, 2,750 or 74 percent of all 3,725 households in the jurisdiction as a whole has one or more of the four housing problems.An estimated 80 percent of Hispanics, 71 percent of Asians, and 50 percent of Whites at this income level experience one or more of the four problems. However, none reaches the 84 percent threshold (74 percent+10 percent) for disproportionate need. 0%-30%of Area Median Income Severe Housing Problems* Has one or more Has none of the Household has of four housing four housing no/negative problems problems income, but none of the other housing problems Jurisdiction as a whole 2,750 850 125 White 80 75 4 Black/African American 0 0 0 Asian 1,475 570 45 American Indian/Alaska Native 0 4 0 Pacific Islander 0 4 0 Hispanic 1,165 195 79 Table 17—Severe Housing Problems 0-30%AMI Data Source:2011-2015 CHAS *The four severe housing problems are: 1. lacks complete kitchen facilities; 2. lacks complete plumbing facilities; 3. more than 1.5 persons per room; and 4. cost burden over 50 percent.

Introduction: Homeowner and renters in the City are more likely to be severely cost burdened—paying more than 50 percent of their household income on housing costs. Hispanic and Asian families are the two largest ethnic groups having both housing cost burden and disproportionate need issues. Discussion: Severe Housing Cost Burden:An additional 27 percent of all City households experienced a severe housing cost burden by paying more than 50 percent of household income for housing. Asians (28 percent) and Hispanics(30 percent)experienced severe housing cost burden when compared with Whites(15 percent). Moderate Housing Cost Burden:Approximately 24 percent of all City households experienced a moderate housing cost burden, paying 30-50 percent AMI of household income for housing. Only Pacific Islanders experienced a disproportionate need (60 percent or 15 out of 25), however,26 percent Asians,23 percent Hispanic and 19 percent White households experienced severe housing cost burden.

As shown in the previous tables, although not disproportionate by HUD's standards, higher percentages of Asian and Hispanic households tend to experience severe housing cost burden due to their lower than average incomes. If they have needs not identified above,what are those needs? All races and ethnicities in the City experience cost burden or other housing problems, particularly Asian and Hispanic ethnicities. Other housing problems include difficulty affording or obtaining a mortgage, racial discrimination when searching for scarce rental housing, and a continued presence or existence of high concentrations of both minorities and low-income households and individuals which could translate into future discriminatory practices. Community engagement initiatives detailed several solutions for housing problems that could include create additional opportunities for short-term living spaces and or transitional housing for those at-risk of homelessness, provide land use policies that support short-term and or transitional housing, and create a heightened awareness of homeless issues and housing needs with the City's landlords. Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? Racial and ethnic minorities are spread through the community with no large concentration in just one area of the City. The largest demographic race in the City, as indicated on the map highlighted in blue below, is Asian.The purple areas are a mix of primarily Hispanic and Asian ethnicities. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 35 .=l'::110. ���" ___ ...__ ______ rrowri I • `°_=m --- -- __ ~- . iligh , • c.^...-, ,....9,0,.....7.1•:,���' `^ 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 36 NA-35 Public Housing—91.205(b) Introduction There are no public housing units in the City. The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) provides rental unit assistance to City residents through the Federal Section 8 Voucher program. The primary objective of this program is to assist low-income (0-50 percent of Median Income) individuals and households in making rents affordable. The following tables are based on the number of public housing and Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) offered by LACDA in their unincorporated areas and the cities in Los Angeles County that do not have their own Housing Authority. There are a total of 21,087 Vouchers provided to County residents of which 1,138 are assigned to the elderly, 184 to homeless individuals, and 534 to disabled individuals. Specifically, Rosemead annually receives 320 housing vouchers.The largest percentage of Voucher recipients,outside of Whites,is African American individuals.

LACDA serves the City and provides Section 8 assistance to the residents. Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders According to HUD data,the LACDA and service providers should place higher priority on increasing earning capacity and greater housing affordability for African American and Hispanic populations. However, program participants continue to lack adequate access to employment opportunities that will enable them to achieve higher incomes and affordable childcare. Enhancing economic opportunities within the area is a critical need of public housing and Section 8 HCV program participants. How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The 2012-2021 City of Rosemead Housing Element states, "In 2012,there was housing growth that came in the form of smaller infill projects located within established neighborhoods and oriented toward moderate and above moderate-income households.At the same time,the City is almost completely built- out, and opportunities for larger-scale housing developments are limited. In light of these conditions and trends,the City is focused on providing a diversity of housing options by: • Encouraging infill development and recycling of underutilized land; • Encouraging housing production through mixed-use development; • Expanding homeownership; and, • Maintaining and upgrading the existing housing stock." Monthly rental rates in the City are steadily increasing for one, two, and three bedroom apartments however rates for four-bedroom units have dramatically increased 25 percent over the last two years. For a family of four in the City who make less than 30 percent of the median household income,an affordable rent is $782 per month. The median gross rent in the City is currently $1,233 per month. The gap of affordability is roughly$450 for extremely low-income households. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 39 Discussion Over the next five years, LACDA will continue to provide rental assistance to City residents through the Federal Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 40 NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment— 91.205(c) Introduction: Homelessness can be defined as the absence of a safe, decent, and 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 LAHSA, the homeless population is a diverse mix of young and old, families with children, couples, and single people. The City is committed to assisting all homeless persons. Because there are no shelters in the City,the homeless population live in unsheltered places, according to LAHSA. Homeless Point-In-Time Count, City of Rosemead Number Percent Sheltered 0 Unsheltered 91 Persons in Cars 5 5% Persons in Vans 5 5% Persons in RVs or Campers 8 9% Persons in Tents 5 5% Persons in Makeshift Shelters 43 47% Persons on the Street 25 27% Total 91 100% Table 26—Homeless Needs Assessment Source:LAHSA Continuum of Care 2019 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count 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): Due to the lack of information from the Census, the information concerning the nature and extent of homelessness in the City 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, Point-In-Time surveys (PIT survey) place the number at 91. Within the City, factors such as increasing housing costs, rising unemployment rates, and low wages conspire to keep homelessness a problem in the San Gabriel Valley. Putting an end to homelessness depends on the circumstances faced by an individual or family. Some individuals have long-term needs that require a permanent housing subsidy and supportive services, while others are homeless for a short period due to an emergency circumstance and may only require shorter-term interventions. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 41 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 for short periods of time, housing stability is best achieved through a combination of activities including rental subsidies, transitional housing, the production of more affordable housing units for persons earning 0-30 percent HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI), and programs that offer continuing education and career development for advancement. This Con Plan calls for continued examination of data and characteristics to more fully understand the extent of homelessness in the City. 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.These services are provided to help families avoid becoming homeless,assist agencies in reaching out to homeless persons and assess the individual needs of the homeless person. In addition,the agencies address housing needs of homeless persons, and assist homeless persons to make the transition to permanent housing and independent living. Nature and Extent of Homelessness: The PIT survey of homeless individuals in the City indicates that the homeless population is primarily male adults (25-54 years old) of Hispanic ethnicity, followed by White individuals. While the population of males is the highest, a significant number(35.2 percent) of those counted are female.The PIT survey also indicated that none of the homeless persons accounted for were sheltered. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 42 City of Rosemead 2019 PIT Count Survey Number Percent Gender Male 58 63.7% Female 32 35.2% Transgender 1 11.1% Gender Non-conforming 0 0.0% Race/Ethnicity Hispanic/Latino 42 46.2% • Black/African-American 20 22.0% White 25 27.5% American Indian/Alaskan Native 2 2.2% Asian 1 1.1% Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander 0 0.0% Multi-Racial/Other 1 1.1% Age Under 18 7 7.7% 18-24 4 4.4% 25-54 58 63.7% 55-61 16 17.6% 62+ 6 6.6% Table 27— Point in Time Count Source:LAHSA Continuum of Care 2019 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans. PIT surveys conducted by LAHSA indicate that of the total homeless populations, eight percent of those are children under 18 years old. There is no data regarding the number of veterans and their families. Unfortunately, the US Census Bureau does not produce counts of the population experiencing homelessness. Though the exact number of homeless at any given time is not clear,the City has prepared its staff to refer inquiries to the Community Development Department, Housing Services Division,who will respond to the homeless in a positive way to ensure that their needs are met. The City's Housing Services Division staff will refer those experiencing homelessness to an agency or provider to meet their immediate needs. Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. Due to the lack of information from the Census, the information concerning the nature and extent of homelessness in the City comes from an analysis of secondary research sources (such as Federal, State, and local agencies; national non-profit organizations; etc.) and data collected at one Point-In-Time (PIT) count. The PIT reveals that the largest ethnic group experiencing homelessness is Hispanic(46.2 percent) followed by White (27.5 percent) and Black/African American (22 percent) individuals. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 43 Homelessness in the City 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 the City is low compared to other cities of the same size. This is attributed to the willingness of family to double up or provide temporary residence to those who fall on hard times. While homelessness exists in the City, it is most often visible along the highways and under freeways. Operation Healthy Hearts, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping homeless residents of the San Gabriel Valley, partnered with the Los Angeles Sheriffs Homeless Outreach Services Team to clean up the homeless encampment near River Avenue in the City and the nearby stretches of the riverbed. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health provides volunteers free Hepatitis A vaccinations in light of the ou�j�break reported across Southern California in September 2017.Other pockets of homeless encampments include the Rubio and Alhambra Wash, and Rio Hondo River. The City's Community Development Department, Housing Services Division responds to calls and concerns over homeless in a positive way to ensure that their needs are met. Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. The PIT(Point-In-Time) survey revealed that none of the homeless individuals were sheltered. 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) • Operation Healthy Hearts—provides hot meals,take-out food, clothing, rides to mobile showers, hygiene kits and more to homeless people in the City and in South El Monte area. • Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley—emergency shelter(Families) • Anne Douglas Center for Women, Los Angeles Women Mission—transitional housing • 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 City 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 • Southern California Housing Rights Center—fair housing and tenant services 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 44 If an individual or family is unable to be assisted immediately by one of the previously mentioned organizations,they are referred to the Information Line organization (211 LA County) 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 increase of homeless persons,however there has been an increase of homeless within the City, but the City has not experienced an outpouring of public concern to provide additional services within its boundaries. Awkward sentence Social service agencies and providers within the City and adjacent communities (where nearly all major services are provided) have not expressed that there is an extraordinary need to provide emergency shelters within the City, as adequate facilities are available nearby and are not always filled to capacity. Discussion: The PIT survey,conducted on January 22,2019,counted 91 unsheltered homeless individuals,significantly higher than in 2015 where the number of unsheltered homeless was 23 individuals. Based on all the counts conducted within the City,unsheltered homelessness within the City has remained low relative to the overall population but has increased nearly threefold with all the individuals found in unsheltered situations. In response to homelessness, the City refers inquiries to the Community Development Department, Housing Services Division,who responds to homeless calls in a positive way to ensure that their needs are met.The City's Housing Services Division has provided its staff with instructions to direct the needy and homeless to appropriate agencies or providers. On average, there are five or less requests for assistance per year. Thle Los Angeles Center Alcohol and Drug Abuse (L.A.CADA) was consulted as part of the public outreach process. L.A.CADA provides transitional and supportive housing for those in rehabilitation from substance abuse. This organization continues to have a growing need to supply housing for its clients. They intend to continue to grow their capacity to serve families recovering from alcohol and drug abuse throughout Los Angeles County. The El Monte Access Center also provides employment assistance, information and referrals for housing placement and rapid re-housing services for homeless or at-risk of homeless. 2t�20-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 45 NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction: The population in the City is aging at a very slow rate.Over the past seven years,the over 65 years of age population shows an estimated increase of 2.4 percent.The number of large households of five or more people makeup roughly nine percent and has not changed from 2000 to 2010. Single parent households makeup an estimated 26 percent which is higher than the County at 22 percent. According to the 2013- 20117 ACS data,there are close to 10,172 persons living with disabilities. Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: Elderly and Frail Elderly Persons age 65 and over account for 16.1 percent of the total population and represents an increase in the total percent(+2.4 percent)of persons in this age group since the 2010 Census. Rising concerns about thel 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 departure from institutionalization and toward community-based care. Persons with Disabilities According to the 2013-2017 American Community Survey five-year estimates, a total of 10,171 of community residents in the City reported being limited in some activity due to a physical impairment or health problem. The most common problems reported were limited activity due to ambulatory issues, folllowed by difficulty living alone. 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. 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 close proximity to public transportation. Persons with a self-care limitation require supportive housing services to assist with bathing,food preparation, and household maintenance. La ge Families LarJge 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. The number of large family households has decreased slightly between 2000 and 2010 but is still relatively high with 30 percent of the total in the City.Thus, large families can be caught in a bind because the units they can afford are too small to provide adequate space.

The County manages a total of 44,504 shelter, permanent supportive and/or rapid rehousing beds.Service Planning Area (SPA) 3 operates, through different agencies, 4,691 beds most of which are within permanent supporting housing units. Permanent Supportive Housing and Other Permanent Housing includes Tenant-Based Projects, in which the Housing Authority(LACDA) provides vouchers to individuals or families directly. Di cuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area: Information on City residents diagnosed with HIV/AIDS is difficult to identify. Most agencies do not break the information down by cities, but by Service Planning Areas. The following is a list of the agencies the City contacted that specialize in AIDS and related diseases:County of Los Angeles; Health Department County of Los Angeles; Department of HIV Epidemiology; Center and 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 47 Project Health Facility United States Department of Health and Human Services; and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These agencies were able to confirm that there is a small percentage of people in the City that have been infected with HIV/AIDS. However, they were not able to identify the exact number. Out of the small percentage of people with HIV/AIDS residing in the City, it is unknown how many of them, if any, need supportive housing. The organizations and facilities listed below offered services to persons diagnosed with AIDS and related diseases who reside in the City. • L.A.CADA provides AIDS awareness and HIV outreach programs; and • Southern California Alcohol and Drug Programs(SCADP)offers services for people living with AIDS or HIV. Discussion: See discussion in this section. 20 0-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 48 NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs — 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities: How were these needs determined? The City provides a number of public facilities available for citizens, including parks, community centers, swimming pools, tennis courts and the County Library. There is a need for public facilities that serve populations with special needs and for facilities that bring public services as described in this section into the communities where they are most needed. The Community Needs Survey respondents prioritized youth centers and parks and recreation improvements. Additionally, the City Council has prioritized economic development and plans to fund future commercial property façade improvement project work. Ho were these needs determined? Meetings with City Council and staff, online Community Needs Survey, and stakeholder interviews. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements: The recent Community Needs Survey reveals the following priority in public facilities: • Safe routes to school including crosswalks and sidewalks particularly on streets around schools, commercial corridors; and • Street improvements in LMI neighborhoods as well as accessible sidewalks and curbing. Holw were these needs determined? Meetings with City Council and staff, City engineer, online Community Needs Survey, and stakeholder interviews. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services: The City requires the assistance of social services, especially given the current poverty rate of over 16 percent. Furthermore, 27 percent of all City households experience severe housing cost burden, paying more than 50 percent of their household income on housing costs. According to the data and analysis in the Needs Assessment (NA) section, the following services may be needed: • Homeless prevention services • Services for children and at-risk youth • Affordable housing to combat the cost burden problems • Assistance for the homeless Hispanic individuals • Financial literacy • Advanced education • Job/employment training to increase earning capacity to be able to afford housing costs and essential services Needs were determined through consultation with service providers. The following are the high priority needs from the survey: 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 49 • Neighborhood crime prevention programs • Parks and recreation programs • Programs for at-risk youth Priority service needs determined by local and regional service stakeholder agencies include: • Workforce development and skills training • Increased number of service providers and operational money • Assistance getting children safely to school if parents are working • Resource guide for families needing assistance i.e. rental assistance, house maintenance, literacy, language classes, and childcare • Decent, affordable after school care • Decrease the time it takes to receive needed services How were these needs determined? Needs were determined through the online survey, stakeholder interviews, specifically consultation with Garvey School District, Garvey Community Center, Boys & Girls Club of West San Gabriel Valley, County of Los Angeles, Department of Health Services, Los Angeles County Development Authority, Los Angeles Center for Alcohol & Drug Abuse, Los Angeles County Public Health Department, and Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 50 Housing Market Analysis MA-05IOverview Horsing Market Analysis Overview: The City's housing market is very strong and high cost,both for rental housing and for ownership housing. Home sales prices have largely recovered from the 2009 Great Recession. The median home sales price has increased to$635,000. Rents have reached a median rent of$1,597, however current online research for housing sales and rent values indicate a three percent increase from those figures. While this is a positive for homeowners and the housing industry as a whole,this is potentially negative for low-income re Iters and prospective homebuyers. i The tables in the next few pages provide additional data mostly provided by HUD from the American Community Survey on the cost and other characteristics of the City's housing stock. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 51 MA-10 Number of Housing Units — 91.210(a)&(b)(2) Introduction Single-Family Housing (1-4 units): The City was developed primarily in the 1950's. The City, prior to development, was an agricultural community that converted to a bedroom community nearly overnight in the 1950s post-war. As shown in Table 31, The City now consists of 15,580 housing units. The data provided by the 2011-2015 ACS 5-Year Estimates shows that nearly 74 percent of the City's total housing stock is in one-unit detached structures. In addition, one-unit attached structures make up about 13 percent of the City's housing stock. Multi-Family Housing(5+units):About eight percent of the City's housing stock is located in multi-family buildings with about four percent in smaller buildings (5-19 units) and four percent in larger buildings (20+ units). Unit Sizes: Overall, about 7,285 of the City's housing units have three or more bedrooms,5,450 have two bedrooms, 1,825 have one bedroom and 210 are 0-bedroom units. On average, owner-occupied units tend to be larger than renter-occupied units. Only 32 percent of the renter-occupied units have three or more bedrooms while 69 percent of owner-occupied units have three or more bedrooms.

The City works with LACDA to provide rental assistance to City residents through the Federal Section 8 Voucher program. The primary objective of this program is to assist low-income (0 to 50 percent of MFI) persons and households in making rents affordable.Currently,there is a lengthy waiting list for the Section 8 Program with an average 7 to 10 years wait, if not longer. Each applicant is selected from the waiting list in sequence, based upon date of preliminary application and voucher availability. The City has two apartment complexes for low-income seniors making below 40 percent of the median income with a total of 123 units and two 3-bedroom single family homes for low- to moderate-income families. There is a waiting list for both senior apartment complexes. The City has also provided housing rehabilitation and homebuyer assistance to low-to moderate-income homeowners since the inception of the CDBG and 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 housing developments, containing 125 units,that have received mortgage assistance with the help of federal, state, or local funds. The four developments are Angelus Senior Apartments, Garvey Senior Apartments,and two(3-bedroom)single family rental homes. All four developments are expected to remain as part of the City's affordable housing inventory. Angelus Senior Apartments (51 units) The Angelus Senior Apartments 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 income limits are reviewed every year and are subject to change without prior notice.There is no risk of conversion until February 7, 2050. Garvey Senior Apartments (72 units) 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 income limits are reviewed every year and are subject to change without prior notice. There is no risk of conversion until October 30, 2057. Two(3-Bedroom)Single Family Rental Homes The Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation (RHCDC)entered into agreements with the Housing Aui hority of the County of Los Angeles (now known as the Los Angeles County Development Authority) fo l the purchase of two (3- bedroom) single family rental properties in the City. Both homes were purchased using the 15 percent Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) set-aside funds as required under the HOME entitlement grant from funding years 2007 through 2011. As a result, the City approved two separate 0 percent deferred payment loans. Both properties are restricted as rental 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 53 property for low-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 current housing needs for LMI households in the City.The City 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,wait-lists for both elderly and/or accessible family units are eight years plus,further reflecting the lack of affordable housing. Discussion See above. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 54 MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction The following tables in MA-15 show the cost of housing including rent, home value, and income as it relates to housing affordability.There is a shortage of housing at all income levels in the City. Fair Market Rents are fairly high for the area and current HUD HOME rental limits do not meet the fair market value. As the number of bedrooms in a unit increases, affordability becomes harder to achieve for larger households.The median home cost provided by HUD seems to be lower than today's actual median home price. Cost of Housing Base Year: 2009 Most Recent Year: 2015 % Change Median Home Value $463,600 $442,600 (5%) Median Contract Rent $989 $1,100 $11% Table 33—Cost of Housing Data Source:2005-2009 ACS(Base Year);2011-2015 ACS(Most Recent Years) Rent Paid Number Less than $500 769 9.7% $500-999 2,415 30.6% $1,000-1,499 3,535 44.8% $1,500-1,999 1,015 12.9% $2,000 or more 174 2.2% Total 7,908 100.2% Table 34-Rent Paid Data Source:2011-2015 ACS Housing Affordability Units affordable to Households Renter Owner earning BO% HAMFI 400 No Data $0% HAM Fl 1,610 225 80% HAM Fl 5,645 484 100% HAM Fl No Data 943 Notal 7,655 1,652 Table 23—Housing Affordability Data Source:2011-2015 CHAS Monthly Rent Monthly Rent($) Efficiency(no 1 Bedroom 2 Bedroom 3 Bedroom 4 Bedroom bedroom) Fair Market Rent $1,158 $1,384 $1,791 $2,401 $2,641 High HOME Rent $1,158 $1,253 $1,506 $1,730 $1,911 Low HOME Rent $913 $979 $1,175 $1,357 $1,515 Table 36—Monthly Rent Data Source:HUD FMR and HOME Rent Limits 2C20-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 55 Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? Th re is a shortage of housing at all income levels in the City. 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 the low number of available homes and strict lending standards. Because most renters cannot afford housing costs,they remain in the renal market,despite experiencing increasing local rent costs.The homeless population is also in need of permanent affordable housing. How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? Given the City's growing population and desirability as a place to live, the high cost of new construction and the drastic reduction in the amount of funding available for subsidized housing development, it is expected that housing affordability will remain a concern over the next five years. 1 Neighborhood revitalization through rehabilitation or replacement of existing, lower value housing stock is a significant political and administrative priority in the City and an emphasis in this Con Plan. This is resulting in a focused effort in terms of funding, human resources, and working with market-rate development proposals. In the mid- to long-term and within the next five years, this will result in an increase in home values and a decrease in the availability of affordable rental housing. Home costs provided in Table 33 show a median home price of$442,600(2015 ACS data), however,the median home price listed on BestPlaces.com is$635,000.This is verified by looking at HdL Data. 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 HOME rent limits do not meet the fair market value as the number of bedrooms increase, making affordability harder to achieve for larger households. Overall, this mismatch shows that affordability will continue to be a priority for the area. Discussion See above. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 56 MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing— 91.21O(a) Introduction Substandard housing is defined as structurally unsound, violates the City's building codes, 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 safeI ty violations. Nevertheless,substandard housing, can be economically remedied where the necessary hard cost of the rehabilitation work does not exceed 75 percent of the replacement value of the property. Where rehabilitation exceeds 75 percent of the replacement costs, demolition would be considered. All potential rehabilitation projects are reviewed on a case by case basis and assess both the condition of the property and the owner's own ability to finance the repairs. The City does not fund the rehabilitation of invIestment rental properties. Condition of Housing The data on condition of units is limited to four housing conditions: 1) lacks complete kitchen facilities, 2) lackslcomplete plumbing facilities,3) more than one person per room,and 4)cost burden greater than 30 percent. Age of Housing and Lead-Based Paint Hazards Many of the City's housing units are likely to contain lead paint and/or need other repairs due to the age of the structure.About eighty percent of the City's housing stock was built before 1980,which means they are at potential risk for lead-based paint hazards (lead-based paint was banned in 1978). Furthermore, 8 percent of the pre-1980 owner-occupied housing and 3 percent of the pre-1980 renter-occupied housing units have children present. Vacant and Abandoned Housing The overall vacancy rate for the City's housing units has decreased since 2010 from 4.9 percent to 3.1 percent.The vacancy rate for rental properties is even lower(2.0 percent).Stakeholders in the community and area agencies stated there is a shortage of available housing units affordable to LMI households.

Many of the City's owner-occupied housing units are occupied by lower 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 increasing,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 lower rent neighborhoods, additional financial assistance may be needed. Homes built prior to 1950 - 33 percent are owner-occupied units and 31 percent are renter— occupied Homes built between 1950 and 1979 -46 percent are owner-occupied units and 50 percent are renter-occupied 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 58 Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low- or Moderate-Income Families with LBP Hazards There are 11,795 units built prior to 1980 which is approximately 76 percent of all housing units and thereforelmay have lead based paint hazards. Of the 11,795, it is estimated that 7,926 are LMI (since 67.2 pert ent of households are LMI). HUD supplied data indicating that there is a total of 770 housing units occupied by families with children that were built prior to 1980. It is estimated that 517 of these are LMI (sinlce 67.2 percent of households are LMI).

The City also funds a Senior Nutrition Program providing nutritious meals for age qualified residents. 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 Loi 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 the City and adjacent communities (where nearly all major services are provided) have not expressed that there is an extraordinary need to provide emergency shelters within the City boundaries, as adequate facilities are available nearby and are not always filled to capacity. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 62 Lis 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.

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 h4th 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.

(91.220(2)) See section MA-35. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 66 MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing— 91.210(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 the City'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 roof repairs or the presence of lead- ba led pain in older homes. 1 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 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, the City has demonstrated a willingness to encourage housing development of all types. It Ips 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. The recently adopted 2020 City of Rosemead Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing(AI) acknowledged the highest priority contributing factors to affordable housing based on community engagement activities and data analysis which include: • Low number of affordable housing units; • High housing land, construction and labor costs; • Lack of rent control/stabilization policies particularly for single parent households, persons with disabilities and seniors; • Salaries are stagnant compared to the rising cost of housing; • Lack of time or finances for increased education; • Lack of funding and knowledge about existing housing placement services, rental assistance, and rent deposit services/programs; • Lack of individual and local resources to maintain housing stock; • Lack of wrap-around services for families purchasing homes for the first time; • Limited local housing agencies' capacity for family placement services that create more housing opportunities; and • Lack of implementation of local housing policies for affordable housing development. 200-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 67 MA-45 Non-Housing Community Development Assets — 91.215 (f) Introduction This section provides basic data on the City's workforce, its economy and education.

Education and health care services are the largest employment sectors in the City, employing approximately 22 percent of all workers who live in the City. This is followed by Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations at 13percent, Manufacturing and Retail Trade each at 12 percent, and Professional, Scientific, Management Services at 8 percent. Together, these five sectors employ over two-thirds of all of the City's workers. The City 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, M scatel Middle School, Richard Garvey Intermediate School,and Roger W.Temple Intermediate School. Don Bosco Technical Institute, a private high school is also located in the City. The City of Rosemead is 200-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 70 I the home of two post-secondary educational institutions (University of the West and Pasadena City College).The City has numerous medical offices and medical centers that serve the residents. De cribe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: The City's business community is seeking an educated, well-trained and largely professional workforce. As previously noted, growth areas for the City include education and health care services; arts, entertainment, accommodations; and manufacturing. The City also has a large retail trade and service indlustry (restaurants and hotels) sector that is largely lower-wage and unskilled workforce. 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 City's Economic Development initiatives were recently recognized by its nomination as a finalist for thel "2019 Most Business-Friendly City in Los Angeles Award." The City encourages new business development through a streamlined permitting process and partnership with the Chamber of Commerce. In growing its arts and entertainments sector,the City has created a suite of services to support the film industry. As a result of the Garvey Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, several mixed-use projects are planned and/or approved to enhance the corridor with high quality development that meets the City's goal for creating an attractive walkable center. Ho do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? There is sufficient training and educational opportunities in the City to meet the needs of the employment sectors. According to the Educational Attainment by Age table(Table 51), the City 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 and trained individuals in the City. 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. Th City, Continuum of Care, and County have established partnerships with California's Employment Development Department,Workforce Development Board,Workforce Development Aging&Community Se vices, California Building Industry Association, Southern California Building Association, East San Gabriel Valley Regional Occupational Program, Pasadena City College to provide workforce readiness programs and training programs. Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy(CEDS)? While the City does not specifically have an adopted CEDS, every two years, the City adopts a Strategic Plain that includes Economic Development. Key organization goals included within the 2018-2020 Strategy are: ® Ensure the City's Continued Financial Viability by Actively Pursuing Quality Economic Development 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 71 • Enhance Public Safety and Quality of Life • Beautify residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors Economic Development Strategy and Action Items are: Aggressively pursue economic development to enhance local shopping and dining options,encourage new high quality and affordable housing stock, beautify commercial corridors, create jobs, and increase General Fund revenues to sustain service levels and maintain public facilities. Action Items: • Implement all potential tools available to develop vacant lots and under-maintained properties to be reported upon biannually • Expand technology and online services to promote economic development, transparency, and services • Create an Overlay Zoning District for opportunity sites along the 1-10 Freeway with freeway ingress& egress off-ramps • Create a communications plan to promote the City of Rosemead If so,what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not,describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth. The City plans to continue its Commercial Façade Improvement program. Discussion See above. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 72 MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are l there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of"concentration") Due to the makeup of the City's minority and low-income populations, these groups seem to be spread thrI ughout the community with no large concentration in just one area of the City. For the purpose of this question,we are defining concentration as an area where more than 30 percent 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 census classifies "minority" as Black or African American, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander,Two or More Races,and Hispanic or Latino.Areas of"minority concentration" are defined as census tracts where the total percentage of a certain population is 20 percent higher than the jurisdiction overall.According to the US Census,85 percent of Rosemead residents identify themselves as being a minority. This is due to the high predominance of Asians and Hispanics. Census data shows that 56 percent of the population are foreign born persons. HUD defines an "area of low-income concentration" as any census tract where a majority of households (51 percent or more) qualify as low income. HUD defines a low-to moderate-income household as any household whose income does not exceed 80 percent of the median family income (MFI)for the area. HUID determines income limits for the Census and adjusts the data annually.The HUD moderate-income lirrlit for a household of four persons in the City was reported at$83,500 (80 percent of the MFI). There is a total of 16 census tracts consisting of 34 block groups in the City.Of which, portions of 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 home prices and rents than other neighborhoods in the City. Nationally, it is 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? These areas have significant community assets including bus service, community centers/parks, commercial centers, professional office buildings, and other services. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The City 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. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 73 A 8 o r 1 1—...— �, a 1 1 m...d. 1 \R 42 , 11< y.) tat ) M M •s1j 1♦4001 aM ... t • as t I a:, IG 1 TR r1) _....__ i �)lf al aL 7 aG: .e0r t.•I:l�l ... 1 l II u_.t rit:41HJI1 0P*) i • 1 J R..

Areas of Low and Moderate Income Conoentration Figure 1 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. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The City currently provides Fair Housing services,a highly successful Owner-Occupied Home Improvement Program, Rental Assistance, and an energy efficiency program. All of these programs target LMI populations in an effort to preserve existing housing stock. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 74 'MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate-Income 'Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2) Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households,including low-and moderate- income households and neighborhoods. Datasets provided by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)show that the City is well-connected for all households and neighborhoods. According to the FCC,there are only an estimated 100 persons in the City who have their provider options limited to one or fewer companies. FCC data mapping of providers in the area shows these few cases of limited options are few and far between.This means the lack of broadband connections or wiring options are not concentrated for LMI households or neighborhoods. Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction. The City does not appear to have a need to increase competition since the area is served by multiple providers at nearly a 100 percent rate(99.8 percent). There are six primary residential internet providers in the City.This includes Spectrum (940 Mbps),which offers cable connections,AT&T,EarthLink,and Sonic which offer DSL connections (100 Mbps), as well as satellite providers Viasat (35 Mbps) and HughesNet (25 Mbps). Competition between all of these providers would presumably create more affordable pricing in the City. While there does appear to be many providers, the City could perhaps have a need for increased competition when it comes to companies offering faster download speeds.Spectrum is the only company that offers cable connection in the City,allowing it to offer the quickest speeds by a wide margin.So,while broadband providers are widely available,the level of service and speed is far more variant. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 75 MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3). Describe the jurisdiction's increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change. The City's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan details natural hazard risks for the City. While there is no section devoted to climate change by itself, it is mentioned throughout the document. For example, the City is identified to have an increased risk of windstorms, which can be affected by stronger storms associated with climate change and increased temperatures. Typically, cities have increased risks associated with climate change when it comes to hazards such as flooding, storm surge, wildfires, and general storms. However, the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan only identifies four potential hazard risks to the City 1) earthquake, 2) windstorm, 3) dam failure, and 4) flooding. Only windstorms are stated to have a probability to occur once in a ten year period. Therefore, the hazard risks associated with the City have less of a tie to climate change than others. For example, the City has no areas within a floodplain, thus rendering it largely unaffected by heavier rains and flooding events typically seen with strong storms due to climate change. Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low-and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data,findings,and methods. There is no outsized risk to LMI households for the City. The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan:shows the projected vulnerable areas for each hazard risk for the City (earthquake, flooding, windstorm, dam failure). The data and analysis show that for three out of the four, the projected vulnerable areas are actually the entirety of the City. Windstorms, which is the most likely hazard with events projected to occur every 10 years,would affect the entire City area.Events with a moderate probability(1 in 100 years), including earthquakes and flooding, are also projected to affect the entire City area.Therefore,for these three hazard risks, the risk is shared byy all areas, including LMI concentrated areas and non-LMI concentrated areas. Dam Failure represents the only outsized risk for LMI concentrated areas, yet this event is given a low probability (1 in 1,000 years).The vulnerable area is listed to be the Eastern portion of the City adjacent to the Rio Hondo Flood Control Channel. As shown on the Map in section MA-50, many eastern census tracts and block groups close to the Channel are LMI concentrated. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 76 Strategic Plan SP-05 Overview Strategic Plan Overview The Strategic Plan is part two of the ConPlan and includes broad strategies for how the City will address affordable housing, homelessness, special needs and community development needs for the upcoming five-year period from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2025. Priority needs identified in the ConPlan were obtained from community engagement activities and data collection and analysis. Priorities include: • Fair housing education • Affordable housing • High cost of building homes • Supportive and transitional housing • Provide safe crosswalks, sidewalks and routes to school • Create more green spaces • Homeless presentation and public services • Housing and commercial rehabilitation The goals developed help reduce the conflicts to affordable housing,fair housing,and services needed for the homeless. 1. Expand fair housing choice and access 2. Expand affordable housing opportunities 3. Maintain viable and energy efficient housing and commercial areas 4. Maintain safe and green neighborhoods 5.

Residents, local and regional social service agencies, and other nonprofits.These needs were determined during the consultation process where information was documented, needs were prioritized recommendations were created. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 78 Identify the needs in this target area. During the preparation of the ConPlan, a Community Needs Survey (in both English and Spanish) was administered.The survey received over 100 responses. The following is a summary of survey result: • Cost of Maintenance was cited as the most pressing problem with maintaining homes • The three top results for needed housing types were: 1) affordable rental housing and 2) housing for special needs populations including: senior housing, and 3) housing for the disabled. What are the opportunities for The City remains committed to reversing these trends improvement in this target area? and has instituted a number of initiatives to revitalize the City. Many people, including young professionals, artists,and retirees,are rediscovering the City as a great place to live, work, and play. There have been median improvements,street and sidewalk improvements and, tree planting.The City is also working on a park master plan to improve park facilities located throughout the City. Are there barriers to improvement in The 2008 recession and demise of Redevelopment in this target area? California dealt a blow to the City's plans to improve its commercial and residential area. While efforts have been made to maintain and rehabilitate homes, as well as build new ones,the existing housing stockcontinues to age and deteriorate. Table 52-Geographic Target Areas General Allocation Priorities Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction(or within the EMSA for HOPWA) Unless otherwise specified, all of the City's HUD-funded housing and community development programs are generally available to eligible low- and moderate-income persons citywide. 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 percent 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. 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 percent of the residents are low-and moderate-income persons.The benefits of this type of activity are available to all persons in the area regardless of income. Potentially eligible activities include street improvements, facade improvements in neighborhood commercial districts,graffiti removal, and code enforcement. HUD provides estimates of the number of persons that can be considered Low-, Low-to Moderate-, and Low-, Moderate-, and Medium-income persons based on special tabulations of data from the 2011-2015 ACS five-year estimates. LMI percentages are calculated at various principal geographies provided by the 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 79 Census Bureau. 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. Each year,through the adoption of the City's Annual Action Plan,the City Council approves the service area boundaries as the City's official low-and moderate-income "Target Areas" and "Deteriorating Areas". The City has traditionally used 80 percent 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 percent 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 special areas, the City will continue to direct CDBG resources to these special geographic areas. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 80 SP-25 Priority Needs 91.215(a)(2) The ConPlan regulations require a description of each relative priority and the need level assigned by family and income category for housing,homeless,and special needs populations.The priority needs level definitions have been established by HUD and are as follows: ■ L(Low Priority):The City will not fund activities to address this need during the five-year period.The City will consider Certifications of Consistency for other entities' applications for federal assistance. ■ M (Medium Priority): If funds are available, activities to address this need may be funded by the City during the five-year period.Also,the City will take other actions to help this group locate other sources of funds. • H (High Priority): Activities to address this need will be funded by the.City during the five-year period as funding allows. • N (No Such Need): The City finds that there is no such need, or this need is already substantially addressed.

Increasingly, the City is focusing its greatest priorities on enhancing neighborhoods. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 88 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.

The City has an active homeless network, resources, and support from the LAHSA as well as other service providers, including San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless and Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley. LAHSA Emergency Response Teams (ERTs) are available to assist residents 24 hours a day, seven days a week through the 211 LA County line. LAHSA ERTs 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. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 89 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 in the City 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 the City 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. There are no 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. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 90 SP-45 Goals Summary— 91.215(a)(4) The following data provides information about project types, measurements and costs over a five-year period consistent with the City's priority needs and goals.

Activities to Increase Resident Involvements LACDA serves the City and provides Section 8 housing assistance to the residents. The City will continue to provide support services as requested by LACDA. Is the public housing agency designated as troubled under 24 CFR part 902? No Plan to remove the 'troubled' designation This does not apply. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 95 SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing—91.215(h) 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. 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,the City 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. Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the 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.The current wage rates has not kept up with the rising cost of housing, leaving many households at risk to homelessness, living at or below poverty, or having no choice but to remain in substandard units. In February 2020, the City adopted the 2020 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. Through data analysis and community engagement activities the following barriers to fair housing were identified: • Low number of affordable housing units. • High housing land, construction and labor costs. • Lack of rent control/stabilization policies particularly for single parent households, persons with disabilities and seniors. • Salaries are stagnant compared to the rising cost of housing. • Lack of time or finances for increased education. • Safe crosswalks and guards on routes to school. • Access to the internet for school-age children. • Limited amount of recreation and open play areas and public spaces. • Lack of funding and knowledge about existing housing placement services, rental assistance, and rent deposit services/programs. • Lack of individual and local resources to maintain housing stock. • Lack of wrap-around services for families purchasing homes for the first time. • Expand local housing agencies'capacity for family placement services and to create more housing opportunities in the City. • Lack of implementation of local housing policies for affordable housing development. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 96 Compounding the problem of affordability is the age of the City'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(80 percent of all homes were built prior to 1980). 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 is committed to addressing the negative effects of public policies over which it has control. In order to promote housing integration to 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, the City 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.

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 available)to carry out this work.The City relies on coordinated efforts with 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 the City, 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. Addressing the emergency 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 five 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 previously stated, 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. 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 In addition to the agencies previously mentioned,the City will continue to seek and work with local non- profit agencies who provide emergency food,clothing,and referral services to low-income City residents; many of which are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 98 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 2001-2002, 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; and • Post-hazard reduction clearance test. Under the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, the City will continue to provide each owner who participates with both oral and written information regarding the dangers of lead-based paint and what to do about it. Owners of properties constructed prior to 1978 will be required to meet certain lead-based paint requirements prior to being assisted.These requirements include the following: • Distribution of lead-based paint notification pamphlets to all households occupying assisted units. • Inspection of all properties for defective paint surfaces. • Abatement of alldefective 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. In addition, the City requires clearance for all properties that fail a Housing Quality Standards (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. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Through the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation and Down Payment Assistance programs, residents receive information and resources to address potential lead hazards.The City has taken a further step in acquiring the services of a Certified Lead Consultant to inspect for lead-based paint and soil, assess individual lead- based paint risk, oversee and monitor lead-based paint hazard reduction and conduct a post-hazard 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 99 reduction clearance test to ensure elimination of contamination. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? Through both the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program and the Down Payment Assistance Loan Program, described above, amelioration of lead hazard risks is an integral part of the program, including information, inspections,technical advice and financial assistance for eligible participants. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 100 ,SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy- 91.215(j) Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing 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 The following programs and services are either funded in part by the City or exist within the City,providing support for residents: • Angelus/Garvey Senior Housing-rental assistance for seniors • Dial-A-Ride—transportation service for seniors and disabled • Fair Housing Services—landlord/tenant information and assistance • 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 • LACDA—rental assistance • Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs—rehabilitation of home • 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 childcare, 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 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 the City. The City has also rolled out a Commercial Façade Improvement Program that provides low interest loans for exterior building improvements. Creating,attractive and energy efficient storefronts is a priority need in the City. 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. How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals,programs,and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan? The City's poverty-reducing goals are coordinated through: 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan .. 101 1. Increased community self-reliance and self-sufficiency through support to priority public services such as services which assist the homeless, job training programs, after-school programs, and sustainable food programs. 2. Support of businesses which create livable wages for low-to moderate-income persons. 3. Coordination with other service providers that implement a range of important programs aimed at ending and preventing poverty. The City and its partners will implement this 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, and Southern California Housing Rights). In addition, various City departments will work together to achieve the goals, programs and policies of this Plan, including the Community Development Department 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 City Council and the Community Development Department have the primary responsibility of implementation, there are a significant number of local and regional agencies and departments that oversee a wide variety of grants and social service programs that provide services to low-and moderate- income City residents and play an important role in implementing the Action Plan as previously mentioned. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 102 SP-80 Monitoring= 91.230 Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved,including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements The City understands that all efforts using federal, state, and local resources to carry out its Action Plan must be conducted in accordance with established laws, regulations, and sound management and accounting practices.The following procedures have been established for monitoring activities: • Ongoing, internal reviews of progress reports and expenditures. • Regular internal meetings to coordinate staff efforts in regard to performance and compliance. • Periodic reports to appropriate City officials and other stakeholders. • Full review of audit statements and other documentation from subrecipient's prior to disbursement of funds. • On-site visits of all subrecipients to ensure compliance with federal regulations; technical assistance is provided where necessary. • Project and financial data on CDBG-funded activities will be maintained using the HUD software IDIS (Integrated Disbursement Information System). Use of this system will allow HUD staff easy access to local data for review and progress evaluation. • Timely submission of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER). The Community Development Department oversees the CDBG and HOME funded programs for the City. The Department ensures that all of the CDBG and HOME funded programs are implemented in compliance with federal regulations and local policy.This would include ensuring compliance with Davis- Bacon, environmental review, fair housing, minority and women owned business enterprises, Section 3, affirmative marketing through on-going monitoring of programs and services assisted with CDBG and HOME funds. The Department coordinates with other internal departments (i.e. Public Works Department), as well as external social service agencies including (i.e. Family Promise, Morrison Health Care-Senior Nutrition Provider, and Southern California Housing Rights Center), when receiving CDBG funds to operate the various projects and programs. However,each program is administered or coordinated by the appropriate staff in each department and supervised by the Director of that department.The Housing Division of the Community Development Department manages the Owner-Occupied Home Improvement Program. The lead department for the ConPlan preparation and yearly reporting is the Community Development Department under the supervision of the City Manager. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 103 Expected Resources AP-15 Expected Resources — 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction Anticipated Resources Program Source Uses of Funds Expected Amount Available Year 1 Expected Narrative of Annual Program Prior Year Total: Amount Description Funds Allocation: Income: Resources: $ Available $ $ $ Remainder of Con Plan CDBG Public- Acquisition In Year 1,the federal Admin and City expects to Planning receive Economic $754,219 in Development CDBG Housing entitlement Rehab funds.Any Public unencumbered Improvements funds from Public prior year(s) Services resources will be allocated capital $754,219 $10,000 $128,000 $892,219 $3,005,781 improvements HOME Public- Acquisition In Year 1,the federal Homeowner City expects to rehab receive Multifamily $356,716 in rental new HOME and rehab entitlement TBRA $356,716 $50,000 $406,716 $1,443,284 funds. Table 60—Expected Resources—Priority Table 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 104 Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied The City will continue to use state and local funds to leverage federal entitlement dollars, including but not limited to: • City General Funds (Senior Nutrition Services and affordable housing projects) • In-kind Donations • Preserve the City's existing affordable housing stock for low-to moderate-income households (i.e. State CalHome Fund Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Program (OOR)— Emergency Grant, Grant& Rebate Also,the following service providers budgeted additional federal and non-federal funds to their activities through funding from other cities, in-kind donations, United Way and other charitable organizations, and the Federal and State governments: • Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP); • Senior Nutrition; • Family Promises of San Gabriel Valley; and • Southern California Housing Rights Center(Fair Housing) The City of Rosemead anticipates assisting five low- to moderate-income homeowners through the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program. Low-to moderate-income is defined as individuals or families whose household income is between 0 to 80 percent of the Median Family Income (MFI). The City uses HOME funds for homebuyer assistance and rehabilitation of owner-occupied single-family properties.The City must use the HOME affordable homeownership limits provided by HUD when setting price limits for affordable home sales and when using HOME funds for home rehabilitation.Also,the use of funds for HOME assisted activities requires that the value of the property after rehabilitation must not exceed 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area.The HOME Final Rule offers two options for determining the 95 percent of median purchase price limit for owner-occupied single-family housing, as noted below: (1) HUD will provide limits for affordable housing based on 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area; OR (2) Perform a local market survey to determine the 95 percent of median purchase price limit. After review of the published 2019 HOME affordable homeownership limits provided by HUD, for Los Angeles County for determining 95 percent of the median purchase price limit,it was determined that the median price for the City homes is$479,750. For a newly constructed unit,the limit is$504,900. Based on FHA standard practice,the following multipliers are used for two-,three-, and four-unit properties: 1.28, 1.55, and 1.92 times the 1-unit limit respectively. Based on a comparison of local housing market listing prices and sales information,it was determined that the FHA limits do not accurately reflect current actual home purchase prices for the area. Therefore, a local market survey was conducted for the City home sales for a three-month period using HDL data.This survey shows a median price of$635,000 in the City of Rosemead and a 95 percent median value price of$603,250(see Home Sales data in Table 62). 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 105 FHA-Market Median Price $479,750 FHA-Market Median Price for newly constructed $504,900 Rosemead Local Market Survey Median Price $635,000 95%of Rosemead Local Market Survey Median Price $603,250 Table 61-FHA Price Source:HUD 2020 HOME affordable homeownership limits As a result of this conclusion, it is our recommendation that the City use the local market survey price as the determinant of the 95 percent median purchase price limit as it is higher than the FHA-Market Median Price. 3-Month Home Sales Data, Rosemead,CA December 2019 to February 2020 Sale Date Address Price 1 Not Listed 2548 La Presa Ave $237,000 2 1/10/2020 1140 E Grand Ave $325,000 3 1/16/2020 1 Toll Dr $340,000 4 Not Listed 7723 Columbia Street $350,000 5 1/16/2020 2 Toll Dr $350,000 6 1/16/2020 3 Toll Dr $378,000 7 12/27/2019 1701 Firvale Ave#58 $390,000 8 Not Listed 8815 Mission Dr Unit B $390,000 9 12/5/2019 2031 Denton Ave Unit B $425,000 10 12/4/2019 8380 Rush St $466,500 11 1/22/2020 1980 Strathmore Ave $480,000 12 12/6/2019 1090 Walnut Grove $496,000 13 2/14/2020 9627 Lorica St $503,000 14 Not Listed 7518 Melrose Ave $520,000 15 1/17/2020 7937 Hershey St $530,000 16 12/31/2019 7547 Columbia St $540,000 17 Not Listed 7428 Berne St $550,000 18 12/30/2019 9205 Marshall St $550,000 19 12/11/2019 1824 S Gladys Ave $560,000 20 12/19/2019 3612 Strang Ave $568,000 21 1/17/2020 9616 Marshall St $570,000 22 Not Listed 9245 Steele St $580,000 23 1/15/2020 8939 Guess St $590,000 24 1/23/2020 8134 Whitmore St $590,000 25 1/3/2020 1907 S Charlotte Ave $600,000 26 Not Listed 3243 Sullivan Ave $605,000 27 12/13/2019 7631 Columbia St $610,000 28 12/12/2019 1565 Abakan St $629,000 29 Not Listed 3247 Isabel Ave $631,000 30 12/10/2019 9095 Argo PI $635,000 (median Sales price) 31 1/7/2020 9044 E Garvey Ave#21 $650,000 32 12/11/2019 8322 Elsmore Dr $650,000 • 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 106 33 2/19/2020 1133 Muscatel Ave $665,500 34 12/26/2020 2419 La Presa Ave $670,000 35 1/17/2020 3402 Twin Ave $683,000 36 12/2/2019 3527 Ellis Ln $688,000 37 1/3/2020 17 Linden Ln $690,000 38 Not Listed 9527 Guess St $690,000 39 1/8/2020 7919 Virginia St $694,000 40 Not Listed 7505 Marsh Ave $695,000 41 Not Listed 4410 Lee Cir $726,000 42 1/23/2020 1001 Rose Glen Ave $730,000 43 Not Listed 1803 S Charlotte Ave $730,000 44 12/30/2019 9357 Guess St $750,000 45 12/12/2019 1111 S Gladys $753,000 46 12/30/2019 7459 Toll Dr $755,000 47 12/11/2019 7509 Hellman Ave $760,000 48 1/22/2020 9043 Marshall Ave $795,000 49 2/13/2020 2721 Evelyn Ave $800,000 50 Not Listed 3332 Prospect Ave $820,000 51 12/5/2016 3218 Gladys Ave $858,000 52 1/31/2020 3911 Ivar Ave $870,000 53 2/20/2020 3641 Brookline Ave $875,000 54 2/4/2020 4107 Walnut Grove Ave $910,000 55 12/6/2019 4604 Singing Wood Ln $910,000 56 1/24/2020 2412 Strathmore Ave $935,000 57 12/10/2019 3811 Ivar Ave $960,000 58 12/4/2019 4540 Dubonnet Ave $975,000 59 2/11/2020 7564 Garvalia Ave $1,214,250 60 12/3/2019 3126 Isabel Ave $1,360,000 Table 62—Home Sales Data Source:HDL data In addition to HOME to provide affordable housing,the City implements the goals,objectives,and policies of the City's Housing Element by creating the incentive of density bonuses to developers that provide housing units affordable to low- to moderate-income households.

Table 66—Project Information 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 115 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. 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 percent 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. There are exceptions to this policy for activities limited to low- and moderate-income block groups. Eligible activities in areas found to be low- and moderate-income block groups include street improvements, improvement to public facilities, and improvements to facilities for persons with special needs. The low- and moderate-income (LMI) area benefit national objective applies if the activities benefit all persons in a residential area where at least 51 percent of persons will benefit from the activities.The LMI census tracts include all of 4823.03, 4823.04, 4825.02, and 4825.03. In addition to these census tracts, there are other scattered block groups that are LMI concentrated. This includes areas in census tracts 4824.01 (Block Groups 2,3), 4824.02 (Block Group 1), 4336.01 (Block Group 1), 4336.02 (Block Group 1), 4329.01 (Block Group 3) and 4329.02 (Block Group 1). Housing conditions survey data report that many of these tracts (mostly multi-family residential) consist of a majority of structures and properties within the block require major repair of building systems. The LMI residential areas in the City cover the very most northern part and the Garvey district in the southern half of the City, below Highway 10.The Garvey district is comprised primarily of residential land uses. Neighborhoods west of Walnut Grove Avenue on Garvey consist mostly of medium density residential with three smaller zones of low density residential. All residential east of Walnut Grove Avenue is low density residential. The City is nearly completely built out and consists primarily of residential development. Most of the housing stock was built prior to 1989 and the rate of development of new units has tapered substantially. 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 the 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. The City has traditionally used 80 percent 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 of 70 percent low/mod benefit level for CDBG activities).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 direct CDBG resources to these special geographic areas. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Eligible Low-and Moderate-Income Block Groups 30 Community Wide 60 Table 67-Geographic Distribution 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 116 Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically To accommodate future residential development, improvements are necessary in infrastructure and public services related to man-made facilities such as sewer,water,and electrical services. Portions of the City are also constrained by various environmental hazards and resources that may affect the development of lower priced residential units. Although these constraints are primarily physical, and hazard related,they are also associated with the conservation of the City's natural resources.

Discussion See above discussion. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 120 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 lower priority in the 2020-2025 ConPlan 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 (ESGV) for the Homeless to provide information, counseling,and referral services to homeless persons that reside in the City, 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. Every year, LAHSA conducts a census of the homeless population through the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count. To understand the level of homelessness in the City, on January 23, 2019, volunteers participated in the homeless count for Rosemead. The count reported 91 unsheltered persons. Out of which 25 were living on the street, 5 were living in cars, 5 were living in vans, 8 were living in campers or recreational vehicles(RVs), 5 were living in tents,and 43 were living in makeshift shelters.The number of homeless in 2019 has increased from the total count in 2018.The homeless count for the City of Rosemead in 2018 revealed 81 unsheltered and zero sheltered persons. City departments are familiar with available resources for homeless and to continue to look for opportunities to assist the homeless. 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. As mentioned above, the City is in close coordination with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA).To facilitate regional coordination for homeless needs, Los Angeles County is divided into eight Service Planning Areas (SPAs), 1 through 8. The division of the County allows the Department of Public Health to target and track the needs of each area.The City of Rosemead is in SPA 3. Every year, the Los Angeles Continuum of Care coordinates a Shelter/Housing Inventory Count (HIC) and a Point-in- Time (PIT) inventory of service projects within the Los Angeles Continuum of Care. The HIC records how many beds and units are dedicated to serving the homeless, as well as a record of utilization of services on the night of the count. Family Promise is an emergency shelter for the homeless families with children located in the City of Rosemead. While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact number of homeless persons, results of the annual PIT survey conducted for 2019 were 91 homeless individuals.The PIT survey also indicated that none of the homeless persons accounted for were sheltered.PIT surveys conducted by LAHSA indicate that of the total homeless populations, eight percent of those are children under 18 years old. Within the City, indicators such as increasing housing costs, rising unemployment rates, and low wages coalesce to keep homelessness a problem in the San Gabriel Valley.The 2019 PIT survey indicates that the homeless population is primarily male adults (25-54 years old) of Hispanic ethnicity with a smaller percentage of White individuals. While the population of males is the highest, a significant number (35.2 percent) of those counted are female. There is no data regarding the number of veterans and their families. In year one, the City intends to fund two public services organization including HRC and Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley. HRC will continue to provide the City with fair housing services as well as handle future housing discrimination cases. Family Promise located San Gabriel Boulevard, Rosemead provides 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 121 food, shelter, and support services for homeless families. Counseling and homeless prevention services are provided for at-risk families. In 2018 Family Promise successfully found housing for 88 percent of its clients. In 2020-2021 Family Promise anticipates CDBG funding will assist 4 to 5 families. Outside of CDBG funding, the City also relies on El Monte Access Center, located several miles outside of Rosemead to provide intake/assessment services, case management, and transportation assistance for homeless individuals. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons. L.A.CADA was consulted as part of the public outreach process. L.A.CADA provides transitional and supportive housing for those in rehabilitation from substance abuse.This organization continues to have a growing need to supply housing for its clients.They intend to continue to grow their capacity to serve families recovering from alcohol and drug abuse throughout Los Angeles County. The El Monte Access Center as noted above also provides employment assistance, information and referrals for housing placement and rapid re-housing services. 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, ESGV, 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 In addition to the agencies above, the City will continue to seek and work with local non-profit agencies who provide emergency food, clothing,and referral services to low-income City residents; many of which are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 122 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing— 91.220(j) Introduction: 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. 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. 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. In February 2020,the City adopted the 2020 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice(Al).Through data analysis and community engagement activities the following barriers to fair housing were identified: • Low number of affordable housing units. • High housing land, construction and labor costs. • Lack of rent control/stabilization policies particularly for single parent households, persons with disabilities and seniors. • Salaries are stagnant compared to the rising cost of housing. • Lack of time or finances for increased education. • Safe crosswalks and guards on routes to school. • Access to the internet for school-age children. • Limited amount of recreation and open play areas and public spaces. • Lack of funding and knowledge about existing housing placement services, rental assistance, and rent deposit services/programs. • Lack of individual and local resources to maintain housing stock. • Lack of wrap-around services for families purchasing homes for the first time. • Expand local housing agencies' capacity for family placement services and to create more housing opportunities in the City. • Lack of implementation of local housing policies for affordable housing development. The final chapter of the AI discusses the ways and means the City can begin to remediate or reduce the barriers to affordable housing.The following goals were adopted: Goal 1: Create housing solutions for members of protected classes. Goal 2: Increase affordable housing opportunities. Goal 3: Support housing development initiatives that foster a collaborative approach between public/ private housing to maximize the leveraging of funds. Goal 4: Increase homeownership. Goal 5: Create public awareness of fair housing laws and affordable housing advocacy. Goal 6: Increase job training and employment opportunities. Discussion: See above discussion. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 123 AP-85 Other Actions— 91.220(k) Introduction: Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City plans to work with and partner with other agencies and development corporations to further the recommendations of the Al and affordable housing initiatives. The City strives to reduce homelessness, maintain existing housing stock, and stimulate economic growth by funding commercial facade rehabilitation programs. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City will continue to look at non-traditional ways to increase affordable housing to meet the needs of the homeless, low- and moderate-income renters who want to purchase homes, and develop new opportunities for residential development.The City will continue to combine funding sources and leverage private funds that can assist in the ConPlan's priority needs and goals. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The City continues to evaluate every housing rehabilitation project to assess lead-based paint hazards ultimately reducing risk each year.The City procures the service of a State Certified Lead Consultant to provide the following: • Lead-based paint and soil inspection • Lead-based paint risk assessment • Lead-based paint hazard reduction monitoring • Post-hazard reduction clearance test. Under the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, the City will continue to provide each owner who participates with both oral and written information regarding the dangers of lead-based paint and what to do about it.Owners of properties constructed prior to 1978 will be required to meet certain lead-based paint requirements prior to being assisted. These requirements include the following: • Distribution of lead-based paint notification pamphlets to all households occupying assisted units. • Inspection of all properties for defective paint surfaces. • Abatement of all defective paint surfaces identified at the time of the inspection. Through the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, financial assistance will be provided to eradicate the problem. Full abatement will be undertaken in all rehabilitation projects over $25,000. It is the responsibility of the City's Grants Specialist to ensure that properties constructed prior to 1978 meet the lead-based paint requirements and any abatement of defective paint surfaces are completed by contractors certified by the State of California Department of Health Services. A copy of the contractor's certification is kept on file. 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. 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 124 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 The following programs and services are either funded in part by the City or existing within the City providing for the daily needs of residents. • Angelus/Garvey Senior Housing—rental assistance for seniors • Dial-A-Ride—transportation service for seniors and disabled • Fair Housing Services—landlord/tenant information and assistance • 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 • Senior Nutrition Program—nutritious meals • LACDA—rental assistance • Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs—rehabilitation of home • Vintage California Mission Inn—assisted living facility for seniors and disabled • YMCA of West San Gabriel Valley—variety of services including childcare, 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 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 the City. The City has also rolled out a Commercial Façade Improvement Program that will provide low interest loans for exterior building improvements. Creating attractive and energy efficient storefronts is a priority need in the City. Low Income Housing Tax Credit Coordination(LIHTC) Currently, the City uses CDBG funds and HOME funds for affordable housing development through housing rehabilitation programming. 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's Community Development department retains the responsibility of managing CDBG and HOME administration, project determinations, project funding and drawdowns, community and public services, staffing, and HUD monitoring. This role also requires the continued coordination with the Continuum of Care in the region.One of the largest challenges the City faces is the lack of funding to maintain community facilities and services currently offered. Management of the network of agencies, programs, and assistance available to residents is an ongoing and time-consuming task that requires a large number of 2020-2025 City of Rosemead Consolidated Plan 125 City staff.Creating an institutional structure that has the ability to develop and share data on the progress and status of beneficiaries through the development of integrated information systems such as the Coordinated Entry System and CoC. These outside institutions play a major role in the delivery of community development programs. It remains important that the City further support its social services that provide transitional and permanent housing, emergency shelters, and supportive services. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City will carry out the 2020-2021 AAP through its various organizations including Family Promise, Senior Nutrition Provider, and the Southern California Housing Rights Center. In addition, City departments must work together to achieve the goals set in the AAP. The City works with the County and State governments and private industry construction contractors, non-profit organizations and social service providers to implement the projects within the AAP.The City is committed to extending and strengthening partnerships among all levels of government, nonprofits and private sector.
