PROGRAMS
SUMMARY
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding to states,
counties, and cities in the form of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME
Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds. The City of Rosemead is required to prepare and submit
an Annual Action Plan to HUD which serves to update and delineate efforts in meeting the
priorities established in the five-year Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan is seen as an
opportunity to reassess the City's housing needs and priorities, as well as its programs and
resources in a manner that will best meet the affordable housing and community development
challenges.
The City's entitlement allocation for FY 2023-24 is $668,149 in CDBG funding and $300,862 in
HOME funds. As a recipient of CDBG funds, the City has also previously received Community
Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG- CV) funds with a current balance of $468,715.
The purpose of this public hearing is to provide the City Council and the public with an opportunity
to comment on the programs and activities proposed in the FY 2023-2024 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, thereby addressing decent housing, creating a suitable living environment,
and expanding economic opportunities for the City's residents, particularly for low- and moderate -
income persons. The current 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) was adopted by the City
Council on April 28, 2020.
AGENDA ITEM 3.A
City Council Meeting
May 9, 2023
Page 2 of 4
Federal regulations require the adoption of an Annual Action Plan to the Con Plan that operates
on a single program year established by the City. It should be noted that under the CDBG program,
eligible projects must either provide benefits to low- or moderate -income persons, eliminate slum
or blighted conditions, or be an urgent need. In addition, at least 70 percent or more of the FY
2023-24 entitlement total must be used for activities benefiting low- and moderate -income
residents of Rosemead. Of the HOME funds received, funds can only be used for housing activities
benefiting low- or moderate -income persons.
In order to receive the FY 2023-24 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 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 Annual Action Plan.
After much deliberation and thought, the City is proposing that the activities shown in Attachment
A be funded under the CDBG and HOME included in the City's Annual Action Plan for the FY
2023-24 (Attachment B).
CDBG Program
There are three broad funding categories that are considered eligible under CDBG regulations. A
project must either: (1) provide benefits to low- or moderate -income persons, (2) eliminate slum
or blighted conditions, or (3) satisfy an urgent need. In addition, of the CDBG funds received, no
more than 15% ($100,222) of the annual grant amount can be used for public service; no more
than 20% ($133,629) of the grant amount can be used for Planning and Administrative, and at least
65% ($460,837) of all funds must be used for low -to -moderate -income activities.
It should be noted that there were no new public service funding requests submitted for FY 2023-
24. The Annual Action Plan continues to include funds for the City's Senior Nutrition Services at
the Garvey Center, the Summer Youth Employment Program, Family Promise, and Fair Housing
services.
HOME Program
In reviewing the HOME funds recommendations, no more than ten (10) percent ($30,086) can be
used for Planning and Administration. The balance of funds can only be used for housing activities.
Previous amounts were carried over from prior years and budgeted for Owner -Occupied

1. Introduction
The Federal Housing and Community Act of 1974, as amended, created the CDBG and HOME programs to
return federal funds to local communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by
providing adequate housing and a suitable living environment and by expanding economic opportunities,
specifically for low- and moderate -income persons. Grants are awarded to communities to carry out a
wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic
development, and the provision of Improved community facilities and services.
For participation in the CDBG and HOME program, the federal government requires local jurisdictions to
prepare a 5 -year Consolidated Plan document and state within Its plan the jurisdiction's goals and
priorities. The City s current Consolidated Plan, covers Program years 2020-2024. The City Is also required
to submit an Annual Action Plan for each of the five years covered In the Consolidated Plan.
The Consolidated Plan serves the following functions:
1. A planning document forthe City of Rosemead;
2. An application for federal funds under HUD's formula grant programs;
3. An action plan that provides a strategy for carrying out goals and priorities (also serves as the City's
annual application); and,
4. A basis for assessing performance.
A section of the Consolidated Plan, called the one-year Action Plan, serves as the City's application to HUD
for CDBG and HOME program funding. The City must submit an Action Plan annually to receive the
entitlement money. The purpose of the Action Plan is to detail how the City will spend its annual allocation
of funds to meet community needs identified in the Consolidated Plan.
This report utilizes HUD's current standard template for producing the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan
directly within HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS).
2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview
The strategies and projects outlined in the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan are Intended to benefit low- and
moderate -income residents, improve distressed and blighted neighborhoods with high concentrations of
low- and moderate -income residents, and positively impact the City as a whole. These Strategies will be
coordinated with other federal and state grant programs and local Initiatives to meet the objectives
outlined in the plan. The Annual Action Plan will focus on goals established within the Five-year 2020-
2024 Consolidated Plan -Strategic Plan.
1IPage
During the development of the Consolidated 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 (LACDA) and nonprofit organizations to determine funding needs for housing and services for
homeless persons, low -to moderate -income persons, and low-income neighborhoods.
Priority areas of need as determined from public participation and research for the Consolidated Plan
include:
1. Preserve the City's existing affordable housing stock for low- and moderate -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;

for CDBG and HOME funding, and one-year goals which are intended to be met. The proposed funding
allocations are provided in this report, and a detailed chart of all outcomes can be seen in the Annual
Goals and Objectives section of this report (AP -20 and AP -38).

Introduction
The Action Plan focuses on activities to be funded with the two federal entitlement grants—CDBG and
HOME—administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Housing and
community development needs In the City are extensive and require the effective and efficient use of
limited funds. HUD allocates CDBG and HOME funding to eligible jurisdictions on a formula basis, using
factors such as population, income distribution, and poverty rate.
CDBG Program
CDBG Is an annual grant to cities to assist in the development of viable communities by providing decent
housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities, principally to persons of
low -and moderate -income.
There is a wide range of activities that are eligible under CDBG Programs. CDBG grantees are responsible
for ensuringthat each eligible activity meets one of three national objectives:
• Benefiting low—and moderate—income persons;
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and
• Meet an urgent need that the grantee is unable to finance on Its own.
The City Is anticipating receiving approximately $668,149 in Program Year (PY) 2023-2024 CDBG funds.
HOME Program
HOME funds are awarded annually as formula grants to participating jurisdictions (PJ's). The program's
flexibility allows local governments to use HOME funds for grants, direct loans, loan guarantees or other
forms of credit enhancement, rental assistance or security deposits.
HOME is designed to create affordable housing to low -Income households. The program was designed to
reinforce several important values and principles of community development.
The City is anticipating receiving approximately $300,862 in PY 2023-2024 HOME funds.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating a majority of Its non -administrative CDBG and HOME
funds for program year 2023-2024 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate -income
people throughout the City.
The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate -income people include
lack of funding from federal, state, and other local sources and the high cost of housing that is not
affordable to low-income residents. The projects selected for funding represent programs designed to
meet needs Identified as high within the Consolidated Plan. Funding is limited, so not all projects
requesting funding were able to be funded. The City strives to have a broad spectrum of programs to
meet the needs of as many populations throughout Rosemead as possible.

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 ratherthe extremely
low- to moderate -income (0 to 80 percent of the MR) persons and families. The City wants to promote a
balanced and integrated community and is committed to providing assistance throughoutthe 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. 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 coverthe very most northern part and the Garvey district in the southern half
of the City, below Highway 30. 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 bulk priorto 1989 and the rate of development of new units
has tapered substantially.
A new map has been developed with Low- and Moderate -Income Summary Data (LMISD), resulting from
the 2010 Census, became effective. The LM ISD 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.

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.

The City uses CDBG and 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 determ ining 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.
The City of Rosemead believes the 203(b) limits provided by HUD, for Los Angeles County, understate
housing prices In Rosemead. Therefore, staff performed its own analysis to determine the 95 percent of
median purchase price limits.
To conduct a local market survey, the City must collect and present sales data by type of housing (for
example, one- to- four -unit, condos, townhomes, and manufactured housing) on all or nearly all of the
one -family house sales in the entire City. The data must be presented in ascending order of sales price,
and include the address of the listed properties and their locations within the City.
The length of the reporting period varies with the volume of monthly home sales. If there are 500 or more
housing sales per month within the within the City, a one-month reporting period must be used. If there
are 250-499 sales per month, a two-month reporting must be used. If there are fewer than 250 sales per
month, a three-month reporting period must be used. If the total number of sales reported is an odd
221Page
number, the median Is established by the price of the middle sale. If the total number of sales is an even
number, the higher of the two middle numbers is considered the median.
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 forthe City home sales for a four-month period using HDL data. This
survey shows a median price for single family of $762,500 in the City and a 95 percent median value price
of $724,375 for single family homes. The median condominiuum of $665,000 and a 95 percent median
value price of $631,750 for condominium sales (see Home Sales data in Attachment A).

Introduction
There are no public -owned housing projects located in the City. LACDA provides rental assistance to the
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. There
is currently a lengthy waiting list for the Section 8 Program with the average wart from 7 to 10 years, if
not longer. Each applicant is selected from the waiting list in sequence, based upon the date of preliminary
application and Voucher availability.
Although there are no public housing units, there are several affordable housing developments. The
following four housing developments received mortgage assistance with the help of federal, state, or local
funds.
Angelus senior Apartments
The Angelus Senior Apartment was completed in 1995 and is owned by the Rosemead Housing
Development Corporation. It consists of 50 one -bedroom units and 1 two-bedroom unit. The term of the
lease Is for 55 years from the effective date of the Development Agreement between the City of Rosemead
and the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation or until February 7, 2050. To qualify for this
complex, a person must be 62 years of age or older and must Income qualify. The maximum income is 40
percent of the area median income adjusted for household size. The income limits are reviewed every
year and are subject to change without prior notice. The risk of conversion will not be an issue during the
next five years of the Con Plan. As mentioned earlier, the earliest possible conversion date for the Angeles
Senior Apartment is February 7, 2050.
Garvey Senior Apartments
The Garvey Senior Apartment was completed in 2002 and is owned by the Rosemead Housing
Development Corporation. It consists of 64 one -bedroom and 8 two-bedroom units. The term of the lease
is for 55 years from the effective date of the Development Agreement between the Rosemead Community
Development Commission, the City of Rosemead, and the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation
or until October 30, 2057. To qualify for this complex, a person must be 62 years of age or older and must
income qualify. The maximum income is 40 percent of the area median income adjusted for household
size. The income limits are reviewed every year and are subject to change without prior notice. The risk
of conversion will not be an issue during the next five years of the Con Plan. As mentioned earlier, the
earliest possible conversion date for the Garvey Senior Apartment is October 30, 2057.
Two (2) 3- Bedroom Single Family Homes
During the FY 2007-2008 and FY 2010-2011, the City entered into agreements with RHCDC for the
production of affordable housing using the 15 percent CHDO set-aslde funding as required under the
HOME entitlement grant. As a result, the City approved two separate 0 percent deferred payment loans
funded by the HOME CHDO Set -Aside Fund to the Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation for
the purchase of two 3 -bedroom rental properties in the City. Both properties are restricted as rental,
241 Page
property for low- to moderate -income households and are subject to a 55 year affordability covenant until
May 2063 and March 2066, respectively.
Describe the number and physical condition of public housing units in the jurisdiction, including those
that are participating in an approved Public Housing Agency Plan:
The above dwelling units are privately owned; however, because they are subsidized, individual dwelling
units must be held to HUD standards for public units and inspection processes. The City works with the
LACDA who provides 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. There is currently a lengthy waiting list for the Section 8 Program
with the average wait from 7 to 10 years, if not longer. Each applicant Is selected from the waiting list in

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 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and subsequent Annual Action Plans.
The City Is relying on coordinated efforts with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) to
provide shelter opportunities; the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition (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 sheiterservices and social services forfamllies with children,
as well as other local agencies in providing services for homeless persons.
The City of Rosemead has been awarded $1,222,084 of HOME -American Rescue Plan Act (HOME -ARP)
funding by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds are to provide
housing, services, and shelterto individuals experiencing homelessness and othervulnerable populations.
To respond to critical needs in Rosemead, the City will prioritize HOME -ARP funds for homeless supportive
services as defined as a qualifying population under the HOME -ARP regulations. The City has solicited
applications from qualified homeless providers specializing in substance abuse cases and othersupportive
services including outreach, sheltering, mental health, and case management.
Every year, LAHSA conducts a census of the homeless population through the Greater Los Angeles
Homeless Count. In January 2022, the Los Angeles Continuum of Care Point -In -Time Count determined
there were 83 people experiencing literal (unsheltered) homelessness within Rosemead. This reflects a
slight increase from 2020 when 79 people were Identified but continues to reflect an overall trend
Increase from earlier years. While a more detailed demographic breakdown Is not yet available for the
2022 Point -In -Time Count, the data from Rosemead's 2022 Point -in -Time Count reveals 46.2% identified
as Hispanic or Latino, 27.5% as white non -Hispanic, 22% as Black or African American, and less than 5% as
Aslan, American Indian or Alaskan Native, or multi -racial. This data reflects a disproportionate prevalence
of Hispanic or Latino, Black and African American, and white non -Hispanic people amongst those
experiencing homelessness in Rosemead in comparison to the City's total population.
Of the 84 people experiencing homelessness within Rosemead who were captured through the Point -in -
Time Count enumeration process, 100% were unsheltered and none were living in emergency shelter. No
emergency shelters or transitional housing programs currently exist within the City's jurisdiction. People
are considered sheltered when they are residing in emergency shelter or transitional housing, but not
when they are receiving rapid rehousing assistance or residing in permanent supportive housing.
The Information below shows the living situations of people experiencing homelessness within the City
261 Page
at the time of the 2022 Point -in -Time Count. As can be seen, most people who are experiencing
homelessness within the City are staying outdoors on the streets, in tents, or In makeshift shelters.
• Persons on the Street: 29
• Persons in Cars: 7
• Persons in Vans:1
• Persons In RVs/Campers: 4
• Persons in Makeshift Shelters: 31
• Persons in Tents: 12
Demographics or family status were not reported.
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 and a Point -in -Time
inventory of service projects within the Los Angeles Continuum of Care. The Housing Inventory Count
records how many beds and units are dedicated to servingthe 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 2022 were 83 homeless individuals. The PITsurvey also indicated that none of the homeless
persons accounted for were sheltered. 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 City funds two public services organizations including a fair housing provider and Family Promise of
San Gabriel Valley. The fair housing provider will continue to provide the City with fair housing services as
well as handle future housing discrimination rases. Family Promise located on San Gabriel Boulevard, in
Rosemead provides food, shelter, and support services for homeless families. Counseling and homeless
prevention services are provided for at -risk families. In 2021 Family Promise successfully found housing
for 88 percent of its clients. In 2022-2023 Family Promise anticipates CDBG funding will assist 10 families.
Outside of CDBG funding, the City also relies on EI Monte Access Center, located several miles outside of
Rosemead to provide intake/assessment services, case management, and transportation assistance for
homeless individuals.
With the HOME -ARP funds, the City of Rosemead seeks to foster positive experiences with homeless
community, assess homeless individuals, and guide the homeless towards the services they need most.
Theses supportive services will further advance compassionately, respectfully and with perseverance a
271 Page
stronger, wider, and more effective approach to combatting homelessness in Rosemead.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons.
The Los Angeles Centers for 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 EI 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 Irving, 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
that provide emergency food, clothing, and referral services to low-income City residents; many of which
are homeless or at -risk of homelessness.

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 year, the City will continue to work cooperatively within existing legislatively mandated
constraints and work to develop or encourage public policies that foster further affordable housing
development and assistance. 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 (Al) 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 forfamllies purchasing homes for the first time.
Expand local housing agencies' capacity for family placement services and create more housing
opportunities in the City.
• Lack of implementation of local housing policies for affordable housing development.
The final chapter of the Al 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.

AP -85 Other Actions -- 91.220(k)
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 fa5ade
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 Con Plan's priority needs and goals,
Mission Villas is an approved residential planned development project consisting of 37 residential units,
located at 8601 Mission Drive. The development will incorporate four low-income units.
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 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 before 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 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 Housing Division 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
301 Page
file.
In addition, the City requires clearance for all properties that fail an HQS inspection due to chipping,
peeling, and cracking surfaces greaterthan 2 sq. ft. on the Interior and 20 sq. ft. on the exteriorof 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 receiving CDBG and/or HOME assistance.
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 exist 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

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 Fagade Improvement
Program that will provide grants for exterior building improvements. Creating attractive and energy-
efficient storefronts is a priority need in the City. The City Is also assisting businesses that have been
311 Page
impacted bythe COVID-10 pandemic.
Low Income Housing Tax Credit Coordination (L/HTC)
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 for tax credits for
the development of a housing project, the Housing Division staff will work with developers and non-profit
agencies 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 UHTC 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 continued coordination with the Continuum of Care
(CoC) 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 taskthat requires a large number
of City staff. Creating an institutional structure that can 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 rale 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 2023-2024 Action Plan through its various organizations including Family
Promise, Senior Nutrition Provider, and the fair housing provider. In addition, City departments must work
together to achieve the goals set In the Action Plan.
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 Action Plan.
The City is committed to extending and strengthening partnerships among all levels of government,
nonprofits, and private sector.
