STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: August 26, 2025
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Christine Viterelli, Grants Manager
Isabella Palacio, CivicSpark Fellow
SUBJECT: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arvin Authorizing an Application to and Participation in the Prohousing Designation Program.

BACKGROUND:

Increasing the availability of housing statewide is critical to bettering the quality of life of all Californians and to ending homelessness. The 2019-2020 Budget Act provided a spectrum of support, incentives, and accountability measures to meet California’s housing goals, and provided for the establishment of the Prohousing Designation Program. As of January 2, 2024, the permanent regulations for the Prohousing Designation Program have been approved. Jurisdictions awarded Prohousing Designation will receive a competitive advantage in the form of additional points when applying for specific statewide grant programs. Local governments with Prohousing Designation may receive priority processing or funding points when applying for several funding programs including:
• Affordable Housing & Sustainable Communities (AHSC)
• Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG)
• Transformative Climate Communities (TCC)
• Solutions for Congested Corridors
• Local Partnership Program
• Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP)
Local governments with Prohousing Designation are also eligible to apply for the Prohousing Incentive Program (PIP), a state investment designed to reward Prohousing jurisdictions with additional funding to accelerate affordable housing development and preservation. Other programs may be added to the list after the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) engages with stakeholders and partner agencies to consider adding other housing and nonhousing programs.

DISCUSSION: The program administered by HCD, created the Prohousing Designation Program for qualifying jurisdictions. To receive Prohousing Designation, jurisdictions must demonstrate that their local policies exceed existing State law to increase housing production in the following

5.D.1
Attachment: Staff Report for PDP (Authorizing an Application to and Participation in the Prohousing Designation Program) Staff Report Prohousing Designation Program Application- August 26, 2025 Page 2 of 2 four categories: favorable zoning and land use, acceleration of housing production timeframes, reduction of construction and development cost, and providing financial subsidies.

Jurisdictions seeking Prohousing Designation must submit an application to HCD that details relevant Prohousing policies in the four broad categories. The application must be accompanied by an authorizing resolution adopted by the jurisdiction’s governing body, in this case the City of Arvin’s City Council. A draft of the authorizing resolution is provided as Attachment 1 to this staff report. Applications are awarded points based on the jurisdiction’s existing and proposed policies that will increase housing production. To receive Prohousing Designation, applications must score at least 30 points total.

The City of Arvin has an opportunity to receive HCD’s Prohousing Designation. Staff conducted a thorough assessment of the City’s adopted and proposed policies that are relevant to the Prohousing application. The City has been proactive in adopting many zoning, land use, and housing policies that exceed State law in increasing housing production. The City’s adopted Prohousing policies and activities include the following:
• Amended Density Bonus Ordinance
• Accessory Dwelling Unit Guidebook
• One-Stop-Shop Permitting Processes
• Reduction of Development Impact Fees for Affordable Housing Projects • Zero-Interest Forgivable Loans for Accessory Dwelling Unit Construction Following the submittal of the application, HCD has 60 days to review it and provide feedback.

Application approval and designation as a Prohousing jurisdiction is dependent on the feedback received and subsequent coordination between the City and State.

SUMMARY: Obtaining a Prohousing Designation will make affordable housing projects in the City of Arvin more competitive in accessing state grant funding, as well as unlock grants available only to Prohousing jurisdictions. Additionally, being a Prohousing Designated entity will allow the City to leverage its funding with state funds better to produce affordable housing and meet its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goals.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:

Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the application to and participation in the Prohousing Designation Program and authorize the City Manager to execute and deliver the application and documents on behalf of the City of Arvin.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. The Prohousing designation, if awarded, will allow the City of Arvin to apply for future grant programs that are available only to Prohousing-designated jurisdictions and receive extra points on other State agency grant applications.

statutory requirements, the City will offer an
enhanced local density bonus to projects that
provide at least five percent of units restricted
to extremely low-income households, which is
currently not offered in SDBL provisions. In
addition, projects will be eligible for a separate

for homes affordable to lower income
households. Housing Element Program 16, the
Lot Consolidation Program, includes priority
processing and expedited review for projects
that include affordable housing units.

Specifically, plans that incorporate lower-
income housing are given processing priority,
and consolidated sites are eligible for
expedited review when consistent with the

reduce development timelines and facilitate the
production of affordable housing.

Per the Housing Element, this

Subchapter 6.6 Prohousing Designation Program requires applicants to confirm that its treatment of encampments on public property complies with and will continue to comply with the constitutional rights of persons experiencing homelessness. An application must include a one-page summary demonstrating how the applicant has enacted best practices in their jurisdiction related to the treatment of unhoused individuals camping on public property, consistent with the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness’ “7 Principles for Addressing Encampments (June 17, 2022). The following template and certification are included to help jurisdictions meet this threshold.
• Principle 1: Establish a Cross-Agency, Multi-Sector Response to Encampments – Describe how system partners (name partners) work together to prioritize health and safety both for residents and unsheltered individuals. (350 characters max) The City of Arvin activates a coordinated cross-agency system to ensure that partners work collaboratively to address encampments and prioritize the health and safety of both residents and unhoused individuals. Locally, the City works in partnership with Flood Ministries, the operators of the Arvin Navigation Center, to conduct the majority of outreach aimed at connecting unhoused individuals with shelter and basic services, prioritizing the Housing First framework. When large encampments are identified, Arvin Police Department, Code Enforcement and Flood Ministries work together. Flood plays a principal role by engaging directly with encampment residents to build trust and establish a line of open communication. Outreach teams conduct personalized assessments, listen to residents’ concerns, and connect them with critical resources. City Code Enforcement and the Arvin Police Department meet periodically to make decisions to take a supportive and compassionate approach during encampment visits, focusing solely on facilitating outreach efforts and ensuring public safety without any intent to arrest or cause fear. If more emergent matters need to be addressed, additional meetings are scheduled to supplement this need. Multi-sector collaboration ensures a compassionate, coordinated, and sustainable response to encampments
• Principle 2: Engage Encampment Residents to Develop Solutions – Describe street outreach efforts to engage with encampment residents to find alternative shelter, housing, and service options using the housing first approach before an existing encampment is closed. (350 characters max)
The City enhances and increases access to critical housing and basic needs services through proactive and compassionate outreach. When encampments are identified, the City gives verbal notices to residents that the encampment will be closed. Additionally, outreach teams from Flood Ministries are dispatched to reach out and assess the needs of the encampment residents to develop tailored solutions that prioritize their safety and well-being. Individuals are offered resources to access shelters, including assistance with transportation. For those requiring additional support, connections are provided to mental health services, substance use treatment programs, and stability services such as

Education about available resources is a key component of outreach efforts, helping to address misconceptions and reduce barriers to accessing care. In addition, Flood Ministries facilitates open dialogue with encampment residents to understand their concerns and incorporate their feedback into the planning process, leading to realistic and respectful solutions for individual circumstances. By focusing on personalized care, resource education, and ongoing engagement, pathways are created to alternative shelter, housing, and services, supporting residents in achieving long-term stability before an encampment is closed. In addition, because of Arvin’s rural community and lower PIC counts, outreach teams can form more meaningful connections with unhoused folks to build trust and ultimately help them find housing.
• Principle 3: Conduct Comprehensive and Coordinated Outreach – Describe multidisciplinary connection strategies and linkages to resources and permanent housing solutions that is customized to individual needs. If applicable, describe how the jurisdiction uses the coordinated entry system to connect individuals to resources and permanent housing. (350 characters max)
Street outreach efforts focus on connecting with unhoused individuals. The Navigation team, Flood, assesses each unhoused individual through the coordinated entry system to determine their unique shelter and needed services. Flood’s strong relationships with local shelters in the City of Bakersfield and the County of Kern to facilitate efficient communication regarding space availability and service capacity. These partnerships ensure that individuals are quickly connected to temporary or transitional housing while navigating the path to permanent housing solutions. The jurisdiction’s coordinated approach ensures seamless transitions from outreach to temporary housing and ultimately to stable, permanent housing, reducing barriers and promoting sustained success. When Flood Ministries connects individuals with paths towards permanent supportive housing, they collaborate with Kern County homeless support authorities to oversee care once people leave Arvin. Additionally, all unhoused individuals are offered health care and benefits of enrollment to access necessary resources. • Principle 4: Address Basic Needs and Provide Storage – Describe efforts to meet basic needs, health, safety, and access to storage (timeframes) for people experiencing unsheltered homelessness while creating clear pathways to permanent housing. (350 characters max)
The City prioritizes the availability of essential services to meet the basic needs of individuals experiencing homelessness in Arvin. These services are made available at the Arvin Homeless Navigation Center, ensuring easy access for those in need. The center offers free amenities such as restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, and clothing to promote hygiene and dignity. Health services are provided on-site once a month, including dental care, mental health services, and support from street medicine teams led by a physician. The Navigation Center also offers storage options for personal belongings for people to securely store their belongings. The determination to holding personal items is determined on a case-by-case basis, with the Navigation Center prioritizing the safety and security of individuals’ belongings at all times. When individuals are transferred to Bakersfield for shelter, coordination with the County ensures their personal items are

Identify efforts to align federal, state, and local funding/programs to provide clear pathways to permanent housing. (350 characters max)
Homeless outreach teams play a critical role by engaging unhoused individuals, providing shelter information, and facilitating access to low-barrier shelters. Transportation is offered to ensure that individuals can transition seamlessly into these shelters, removing barriers that might hinder access. Utilizing the Housing First model ensures that individuals are not required to meet preconditions, such as sobriety or participation in specific programs, to access housing. Instead, the focus is on providing immediate shelter and then offering optional supportive services to address individual needs, including mental health and substance use counseling, job training, and ultimately empowering residents to achieve long-term stability at their own pace. To enhance this approach, the Arvin Navigation Center partners with street medical teams to practice harm-reduction models. These teams provide on-site healthcare, support stabilization, and connect individuals to vital resources, including ongoing medical care and behavioral health services. This partnership ensures that individuals' immediate health and safety needs are addressed while laying the groundwork for their transition to permanent housing. In 2022, the City of Arvin was awarded the Community Block Grant with $500,000 allocated to the Arvin Navigation Center, which is operated by Bakersfield Flood Ministries (Flood). The City of Arvin continues to use a portion of CDBG funding to keep the Arvin Navigation Center operating, therefore maintaining and securing access to these various services. • Principle 7: Create a Plan for What Will Happen to Encampment Sites After Closure Describe plans for former encampment spaces (long-term solutions to prevent encampments from reoccurring). Include efforts to emphasize safety, accessibility, and inclusivity that improve infrastructure. Example: Communities can include curb cuts to increase mobility access and enhanced lighting to encourage safety. (350 characters max) Following the closure of encampment sites, a multidisciplinary approach is implemented to prioritize the safety, accessibility, and inclusivity of public spaces. The City takes measures to ensure sites are thoroughly cleaned, with excess trash and hazardous materials removed to ensure public health. Spaces that receive lots of foot traffic, such as school routes, are restored to their originally intended use, making sure that these areas remain functional and safe for community members. Public spaces, including parks and parking lots, have been enhanced with surveillance walks to increase safety. These efforts reflect a commitment to fostering inclusive, clean, and safe environments for all residents.

5. Strategies: What strategies will be pursued in the Project Area, from the list of Strategies in Section 8.4. Strategies and Projects of the Round 5 TCC Program Guidelines? Explain how the Strategies will achieve the Vision identified for the Project Area. (200 words) The following TCC strategies achieve Arvin’s vision by reducing GHGs, improving public health, yielding environmental benefits, expanding economic opportunities, and improving shared prosperity.

Strategy #1 Equitable Housing and Neighborhood Development The affordable housing project, sited on a vacant infill lot, avoids displacement. The new adjacent bus stop / shelter, retail, Bakersfield College Arvin Campus, parks, green space, and bikeways and walkways within a 0.25-0.5 mile, encourages and results in GHG and VMT reductions.

Strategy #3 Transit Access and Mobility
Electric transit, fixed and Dial-a-Ride shuttle buses, and the free rides program promotes mobility while reducing GHGs.

Strategy #4 Solar Installation, Energy Efficiency, and Appliance Electrification The solar PV project assists 30 low-income Arvin households, reduces GHGs, and results in improved air quality, and environmental and public benefits.

Strategy #7 Urban Greening and Green Infrastructure
Expanded green space including a new park, and bike and walkways, encourages active transportation, and 220 trees cools the neighborhood, reduces PM2.5, absorbs GHGs, and improves public and personal health.

The Arvin TCC master planned project implements efficient placemaking, thereby reducing GHGs, offers new educational opportunities, creates more than 100 new jobs, and expands economic opportunities.

6. Projects and Plans: Describe how the projects (both grant-funded and leverage-funded) and transformative plans will be integrated to transform Project Area. In the description, please indicate which project(s) will be leverage funded. (800 words) Overarching Strategy: Arvin’s TCC project is transformational. The TCC request, leverage, and private, federal, state and local funding will be the economic catalyst for this impoverished, rural, Hispanic, DAC, AB 617 community that has been often overlooked, is disadvantaged, and under-resourced.

PROJECTS
4th & Walnut Affordable Housing Project located at 4th Street and Walnut Street on a 2.5 acre vacant infill parcel will provide 51 units south of the Bakersfield College Arvin Campus and north of the retail town center at the corner of Walnut and SR 223. The project has $5,086,000 in MPO REAP 2.0 leverage.

ZEV Bus Stop. The City of Arvin Transit Department is installing a new bus stop and shelter within 450 feet of the 4th & Walnut affordable housing. The project proposed to add a new transit stop and bus shelter directly across from the affordable housing project on the south side of 4th Street near the retail.

Walnut Neighborhood Pedestrian & Bikeways Project will add additional pedestrian paths and bikeways: Walnut (North & South) to Nectarine, 4th (East & West (E&W)) from Walnut to Campus, Nectarine (E&W) from Walnut to Campus, and Grapevine (E&W) from Walnut to Campus. This project costs $1,721,266 for sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and bikeways.

EV Bus Replacement Project. Arvin Transit is requesting funds to purchase a 39’ EV bus for its fixed route #3 that serves the 4th & Walnut affordable housing and operates within the project service area. Arvin requests $270,726 in TCC funding and leverages $1,078,747 in FTA 5339(b) funding and local match.

EV Shuttle Bus Replacement & Expansion Project. Arvin Transit is requesting $419,628 to purchase two 12 passenger EV Dial-A-Ride shuttle buses (Arvin local) to replace an aging ICE shuttle bus and add a new EV bus. Service would be expanded from 7 hours to 12 hours per day to meet demand for service, evidenced by ATD service surveys. The project leverages $464,045 FTA 5339 funds.

Arvin Transit Free Rides Project. Arvin Transit is providing a free monthly pass to each of the 50 low-income tenants in years 3 and 4 (after completion of the affordable housing units). In year 5, Arvin Transit will provide 2 free monthly passes per unit to ensure that all family members are able to access needed transit service. This service totals $120k.

GRID Alternatives Residential Solar Project is going to transform 30 residential homes, 10 per year (Years 1-3), providing solar PV panels. GRID will provide education on energy savings while qualifying households, and reduces GHGs, dependence on traditional energy, and lowers the cost of energy on installed systems. The project cost is $464,045 and GRID is contributing $422,931 of CA DAC-SASH leverage.
4th & Walnut Urban Greening Project includes a dual-purpose pedestrian and bike path creating a separated and safe path of travel shaded by 220 trees adjacent to the affordable housing project and links to the remaining TCC active transportation projects. The TCC urban greening project request of $100,000 will add additional trees planted further north along Walnut. The TCC funded project expansion adds green space and shading within the master plan area and enhances walkability and bikeability. The CA Dept of Natural Resources Urban Greening grant provides leverage of $794,947 towards this project.

Arvin Engagement Project. The City of Arvin and the Dolores Huerta Foundation will employ multiple recruitment and engagement strategies including door-to-door recruitment, social media, print mailers, integration with AB617, and cross posting with CBOs and environmental justice groups.

Climate Adaptation and Resilience:

8. Describe the top 2-3 climate change risks and exposures expected to impact the Project Area during the TCC Proposal implementation phase and over the next 20 years. Provide screenshots or figures from the cited resources that were used to identify the top issues (these will not be included in the character count). (200 words) The top 2 to 3 climate change risks and exposures facing the Arvin project area are: (1) PM2.5 air quality (Buis, 2020); (2) extreme heat and drought (Lund, 2018; NOAA Climate Explorer - Arvin); and (3) precipitation volatility and flooding (Corringham,2019, 2022; Maskey, et al., 2022; NASA Earth Observatory, 2020; Swain, Langenbrunner, Neelin & Hall, 2018). Risks and exposures are documented in the Kern County 2020 Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan, Arvin Climate Action Plan (2021), and the ILG 2020 Arvin award for sustainability best practices (included in the Climate Adaptation & Resilience folder). 52 5.D.4

Arvin achieved significant progress reducing GHGs. After establishing a GHG baseline, the city implemented energy efficiency measures in buildings, facilities, and infrastructure. The city transit fleet is currently 60% EVs and will be 90% EVs on completion of the TCC transit project. The Arvin city center will use 100% renewable energy by 2028 with the completion of the non-TCC funded microgrid project. The city is in the process of acquiring funding to provide 100% renewable energy by 2030 for four remaining city-owned buildings: the veterans hall, adobe complex, the community/senior center, and the public works building. (US DOC NOAA Climate Explorer, 2023)

9. Describe how these top climate change risks and exposures will impact the community in the Project Area, and climate-vulnerable populations in particular. (200 words) Climate change risks and exposures are predicted to have significant impact on the Arvin community project area including air quality (see, e.g., FRESSCA-Mujeres, 2023 study in progress), asthma (KCPH, 2018-19), and heat impacts such as respiratory illness, heat exhaustion, heatstroke and other heat-related mortality (Berberian, Gonzales, & Cushing, 53 5.D.4

2022; Ndugga & Artiga, 2021; Rossiello & Szema, 2019). Extreme heat impacts are exacerbated due to the cost of air conditioning, and ineffectiveness of swamp coolers, the most prevalent cooling system in Arvin.

Climate extremes directly impact Agriculture/food manufacturing (Escriva-Bou, 2023a, 2023b). A common occurrence, Arvin winter floods are predicted to double by the 2050s relative to the 1990s (Corringham,2019, 2022). Drought and precipitation volatility impacts the availability of water (Maskey, et al., 2022) which in turn impacts crop selection decisions.

As the drought persisted from 2002 to 2018, Kern County agriculture shifted from row crops to nut trees and while there were no trade-offs or synergies, it may have mitigated stronger negative climate change impacts (Wartenberg, et al., 2021). Climate fluctuations impact the pollination, bloom, and chill times needed to sustain expected yields. Adaptations to climate extremes could mitigate significant losses (Escriva-Bou, 2023a, 2023b).

10. Describe how these top climate change risks and exposures will impact the built environment in the Project Area. (200 words)
The City of Arvin at 449 feet elevation, is susceptible to winter flooding. In the past few years, winter flooding damaged city streets resulted in municipal street damages of $86,033 in two years (see, Climate Adaptation & Resilience Folder for documentation). The City’s approved FEMA claims and SB1 funds were used to repair the damage.

Statewide, Californians are not well prepared for or insured against flood damage. In 2022, state flood losses totaled $5,557,478 (NFIP, 2022). In January 2023, atmospheric rivers dropped 3’ of rain and 56.4 feet of snow, prompting mass evacuations and at least 17 deaths (ABC News, 2023; KRON News, 2023). In 2022, average California flood claims were $37,590 (NFIP, 2022). In the future, flood losses are predicted to double by the 2050s and triple by the 2090s over 1990s levels (Corringham et al., 2022). Despite being eligible, only about 2% of properties have flood insurance statewide (LA Times, 2023), a figure not likely to be greater in the low-income Arvin community. Therefore, significant and uninsured flooding losses are likely.

11. Describe the overall process the Applicant used to identify and prioritize adaptation measures in the TCC Proposal. Specifically, explain how adaptation needs were identified and how community input shaped adaptation priorities. (500 words) The Arvin community identified and prioritized adaptation measures in multiple community planning processes that included various outreach and input methods to determine adaptation needs and priorities. Outreach and community input was conducted in English and Spanish. Print and online surveys, workshops, and community events were utilized to gain insight into the community’s priorities. The following surveys were open for a minimum of 30 days. The transit / housing survey was open for 51 days. The City of Arvin has been working towards the TCC application since 2020, utilizing the community’s identified needs and adaptive priorities in designing and developing the proposed TCC plans and projects.

Tree planting has been a priority for residents since the 2016 Cal Fire grant surveys, multiple tree planting, and tree giveaways from 2016-2023. The 2021-22 CERP process, residents again identified tree planting and vegetative barriers as a top priority to provide shade and encourage active transportation along the pedestrian paths. 54 5.D.4
