Annually the BPD responds to an average of 50 bomb threat calls, and several swat bomb related calls. In response to these calls the BPD utilizes its Remotec F6B robot. The machine was initially purchased in 2006, at a cost of $100,000. Due to the age of the robot, many parts are being phased out and are no longer available for repairs, in addition the technology has advanced but the current robot is unable to upgrade as its tech is not compatible. Due to the frequency and danger involved with these calls the BPD needs to upgrade and repair the current robot to increase safety, capabilities and efficiency for its staff and residents alike.

The BPD is planning to use JAG funding to augment the city’s financial investment to update the existing robots’ capabilities, and increase overall safety.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding will be covered by the Federal BJA FY 24 grant funds.

Office for Civil Rights Notice for All Recipients
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) enforces federal civil rights laws and other provisions that prohibit discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance from OJP, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).

Several civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance (recipients) to give assurances that they will comply with those laws. Taken together, these and other civil rights laws prohibit recipients from discriminating in the provision of services and employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, and sex or from discriminating in the provision of services on the bases of age.

Some recipients of DOJ financial assistance have additional obligations to comply with other applicable nondiscrimination provisions like the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion in addition to race, color, national origin, and sex. Recipients may also have related requirements regarding the development and implementation of equal employment opportunity programs.

Page: 2 of 23
OCR provides technical assistance, training, and other resources to help recipients comply with civil rights obligations.

Further, OCR administratively enforces civil rights laws and nondiscrimination provisions by investigating DOJ recipients that are the subject of discrimination complaints. In addition, OCR conducts compliance reviews of DOJ recipients based on regulatory criteria. These investigations and compliance reviews permit OCR to evaluate whether DOJ recipients are providing services to the public and engaging in employment practices in a nondiscriminatory manner.

For more information about OCR, your civil rights and nondiscrimination responsibilities, how to notify your employees or beneficiaries of their civil rights protections and responsibilities and how to file a complaint, as well as technical assistance, training, and other resources, please visit www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/outreach. If you would like OCR to assist you in fulfilling your civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities, please contact us at askOCR@o jp.usdoj.gov or www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/about#ocr-contacts.

Award Conditions
This award is offered subject to the conditions or limitations set forth in the Award Information, Project Information, Financial Information, and Award Conditions.

Condition 1
Meaningful access requirement for individuals with limited English proficiency The recipient, and any subrecipient at any tier, must take reasonable steps to ensure that individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) have meaningful access to their programs and activities to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of national origin, including discrimination against individuals with LEP. Such steps may require providing language assistance services, such as interpretation or translation services. The Department of Justice guidance on compliance with this requirement may be found at "Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons" (67 Fed. Reg. 41455-41472) (https:// Page: 5 of 23
www.federalregister.gov/d/02-15207) and is incorporated by reference here.

Condition 2
Compliance with general appropriations-law restrictions on the use of federal funds (FY 2024) The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable restrictions on the use of federal funds set out in federal appropriations statutes. Pertinent restrictions that may be set out in applicable appropriations acts are indicated at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/FY24AppropriationsRestrictions.htm, and are incorporated by reference here.

Should a question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a recipient (or a subrecipient) would or might fall within the scope of an appropriations-law restriction, the recipient is to contact OJP for guidance, and may not proceed without the express prior written approval of OJP.

Condition 3
Compliance with DOJ regulations pertaining to civil rights and nondiscrimination - 28 C.F.R. Part 38 The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements of 28 C.F.R. Part 38.

Among other things, 28 C.F.R. Part 38 states that recipients may not use direct Federal financial assistance from the Department to support or engage in any explicitly religious activities except when consistent with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and any other applicable requirements. An organization receiving Federal financial assistance also may not, in providing services funded by the Department of Justice, or in their outreach activities related to such services, discriminate against a program beneficiary or prospective program beneficiary on the basis of religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice.

Part 38 also sets out rules and requirements that pertain to recipient and subrecipient ("subgrantee") organizations that engage in or conduct explicitly religious activities, as well as rules and requirements that pertain to recipients and subrecipients that are faith-based or religious organizations. In addition, Part 38 states that a faith-based organization that participates a Department of Justice funded program retains its independence from the Government and may continue to carry out its mission consistent with religious freedom and conscience protections in Federal law.

Recipients and subrecipients that provide social services under this award must give written notice to beneficiaries and prospective beneficiaries prior to the provision of services (if practicable) which shall include language substantially similar to the language in 28 CFR Part 38, Appendix C, sections (1) through (4). A sample written notice may be found at https://www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/partnerships-faith-based-and-other-neighborhood-organizations.

In certain instances, a faith-based or religious organization may be able to take religion into account when making hiring decisions, provided it satisfies certain requirements. For more information, please see https://www.ojp.gov/ funding/explore/legaloverview2024/civilrightsrequirements.

Condition 4
Requirements of the award; remedies for non-compliance or for materially false statements The conditions of this award are material requirements of the award. Compliance with any assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of performance also is a material requirement of this award.

Limited Exceptions. In certain special circumstances, the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") may determine that it will not enforce, or enforce only in part, one or more requirements otherwise applicable to the award. Any such exceptions regarding enforcement, including any such exceptions made during the period of performance, are (or will be during the period of performance) set out through the Office of Justice Programs ("OJP") webpage entitled "Legal Notices:

Special circumstances as to particular award conditions" (ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardReqts.htm), and incorporated by reference into the award.

By signing and accepting this award on behalf of the recipient, the authorized recipient official accepts all material requirements of the award, and specifically adopts, as if personally executed by the authorized recipient official, all assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of performance.

Page: 6 of 23
Failure to comply with one or more award requirements -- whether a condition set out in full below, a condition incorporated by reference below, or an assurance or certification related to conduct during the award period -- may result in OJP taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the award. Among other things, the OJP may withhold award funds, disallow costs, or suspend or terminate the award. DOJ, including OJP, also may take other legal action as appropriate.

Any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award (or concealment or omission of a material fact) may be the subject of criminal prosecution (including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621, and/or 34 U.S.C. 10271-10273), and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties and administrative remedies for false claims or otherwise (including under 31 U.S.C. 3729-3730 and 3801-3812).

Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms, that provision shall first be applied with a limited construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by law. Should it be held, instead, that the provision is utterly invalid or -unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed severable from this award.

Condition 5
Effect of failure to address audit issues
The recipient understands and agrees that the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or OVW, as appropriate) may withhold award funds, or may impose other related requirements, if (as determined by the DOJ awarding agency) the recipient does not satisfactorily and promptly address outstanding issues from audits required by the Part 200 Uniform Requirements (or by the terms of this award), or other outstanding issues that arise in connection with audits, investigations, or reviews of DOJ awards.

Condition 6
Applicability of Part 200 Uniform Requirements

The reclassification encompassed a number of statutory provisions pertinent to OJP awards (that is, OJP grants and cooperative agreements), including many provisions previously codified in Title 42 of the U.S. Code.

Effective as of September 1, 2017, any reference in this award document to a statutory provision that has been reclassified to the new Title 34 of the U.S. Code is to be read as a reference to that statutory provision as reclassified to Title 34. This rule of construction specifically includes references set out in award conditions, references set out in material incorporated by reference through award conditions, and references set out in other award requirements.

Condition 18
Restrictions and certifications regarding non-disclosure agreements and related matters No recipient or subrecipient ("subgrantee") under this award, or entity that receives a procurement contract or subcontract with any funds under this award, may require any employee or contractor to sign an internal confidentiality Page: 10 of 23
agreement or statement that prohibits or otherwise restricts, or purports to prohibit or restrict, the reporting (in accordance with law) of waste, fraud, or abuse to an investigative or law enforcement representative of a federal department or agency authorized to receive such information.

The foregoing is not intended, and shall not be understood by the agency making this award, to contravene requirements applicable to Standard Form 312 (which relates to classified information), Form 4414 (which relates to sensitive compartmented information), or any other form issued by a federal department or agency governing the nondisclosure of classified information.

1. In accepting this award, the recipient--
a. represents that it neither requires nor has required internal confidentiality agreements or statements from employees or contractors that currently prohibit or otherwise currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict) employees or contractors from reporting waste, fraud, or abuse as described above; and b. certifies that, if it learns or is notified that it is or has been requiring its employees or contractors to execute agreements or statements that prohibit or otherwise restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict), reporting of waste, fraud, or abuse as described above, it will immediately stop any further obligations of award funds, will provide prompt written notification to the federal agency making this award, and will resume (or permit resumption of) such obligations only if expressly authorized to do so by that agency.

2. If the recipient does or is authorized under this award to make subawards ("subgrants"), procurement contracts, or both--
a. it represents that--
(1) it has determined that no other entity that the recipient's application proposes may or will receive award funds (whether through a subaward ("subgrant"), procurement contract, or subcontract under a procurement contract) either requires or has required internal confidentiality agreements or statements from employees or contractors that currently prohibit or otherwise currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict) employees or contractors from reporting waste, fraud, or abuse as described above; and
(2) it has made appropriate inquiry, or otherwise has an adequate factual basis, to support this representation; and b. it certifies that, if it learns or is notified that any subrecipient, contractor, or subcontractor entity that receives funds under this award is or has been requiring its employees or contractors to execute agreements or statements that prohibit or otherwise restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict), reporting of waste, fraud, or abuse as described above, it will immediately stop any further obligations of award funds to or by that entity, will provide prompt written notification to the federal agency making this award, and will resume (or permit resumption of) such obligations only if expressly authorized to do so by that agency.

The details of the requirement for advance approval to use a noncompetitive approach in a procurement contract under an OJP award are posted on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/NoncompetitiveProcurement.htm (Award condition: Specific post-award approval required to use a noncompetitive approach in a procurement contract (if contract would exceed $250,000)), and are incorporated by reference here.

Condition 21
Requirement to report potentially duplicative funding
If the recipient currently has other active awards of federal funds, or if the recipient receives any other award of federal funds during the period of performance for this award, the recipient promptly must determine whether funds from any of those other federal awards have been, are being, or are to be used (in whole or in part) for one or more of the identical cost items for which funds are provided under this award. If so, the recipient must promptly notify the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or OVW, as appropriate) in writing of the potential duplication, and, if so requested by the DOJ awarding agency, must seek a budget-modification or change-of-project-scope Grant Award Modification (GAM) to eliminate any inappropriate duplication of funding.

See 31 U.S.C. 1352. Certain exceptions to this law apply, including an exception that applies to Indian tribes and tribal organizations.

Should any question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a recipient (or subrecipient) would or might fall within the scope of these prohibitions, the recipient is to contact OJP for guidance, and may not proceed without the express prior written approval of OJP.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: April 4, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention 2229 to add Area 4-302 to the Consolidated Maintenance District Resolution of Intention (ROI) to add the following territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District and preliminarily approving, confirming, and adopting the Public Works Director’s Report:

ROI No. 2229 adding Area 4-302 (1101 Brundage Lane): Street Tier = 1; Park Tier = 1 – Ward 2 RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adopting the resolution of intention.

BACKGROUND:

Written requests have been received by the City Engineer from the owner of the parcel to be included in the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by section 13.04.021 of the Municipal Code. Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide for the maintenance of parks and/or street landscaping. For an area where a park has been constructed and/or street landscaping has already been installed, the area will be under the park and streetscape zones of benefit and will be assigned appropriate tier levels during the next annual update to the consolidated maintenance district. For an area where a park and/or street landscaping has not been installed, the area will be assigned appropriate tier levels when improvements are constructed.

The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owner of the property listed above which waived the public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows the City to expedite the maintenance district process to satisfy subdivision requirements. The owner has also submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating their consent to the assessments.

To provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a covenant has been drafted and will be recorded with the Kern County Assessor‐Recorder's Office upon approval of this Resolution.

Staff recommend the new territory be added to the Consolidated Maintenance District at the next City Council meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The revenue from Maintenance Assessment Districts partially supports ongoing maintenance in the districts for the year. There is some General Fund support on an annual basis for the short fall in the CMD revenue collected citywide.

PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 4-302
Fiscal Year 2024-2025
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 1101 Brundage Lane and as shown on Map and Assessment Diagram marked Exhibit "B," attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth, as an area within the City of Bakersfield.

Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield, referred to as the Maintenance District Procedure, the Public Works Director makes and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways within parks now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be made.

For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.

Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.

All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit “C”) per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.

All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.

A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, I, ZACHARY MEYER, Director of Public Works of the City of Bakersfield, by virtue of the power vested in me and the order of the Council of said City, hereby submit the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget and Assessment Roll as set forth in Exhibit "D" and Exhibit "E," respectively, attached hereto and incorporated herein as though fully set forth, upon all parcels of property within additional territory subject to be assessed to pay the cost of maintenance and operation in said area.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Agreement TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Daniel Maldonado, Asst. Water Director
DATE: March 28, 2025
SUBJECT: Agreement with Ardurra Group Inc. (not to exceed $284,895) to provide design engineering services for L-208 TCP Removal Project RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The Water Department provides clean safe drinking water to residents and businesses within the City of Bakersfield’s Domestic Service Area, served by 65 separate well stations complying with State regulations.

The L-208 Station, located in northern Bakersfield, was recently taken offline due to the identification of 1,2,3 Trichloropropane (TCP) contaminants. The City desires to explore options to evaluate and modify the existing water treatment system to bring the L-208 station back into compliance with State regulations.

On February 25, 2025, staff referenced Resolution 157-2022 for the list of On-Call Library of Professional Firms and sent a Request for Fee Proposal for design services to Ardurra Group Inc (Ardurra). On March 7, 2025, Ardurra provided a proposal for their services.

City staff recommends approval of agreement with Ardurra based upon their qualifications and fee proposal being favorable to the City.

Ardurra’s services were requested for their extensive experience with domestic water treatment systems and their familiarity and knowledge of the regulatory agencies the City reports to.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Water Department’s Capital Improvement Budget within the Domestic Water Fund, therefore, no General Fund dollars will be expended for this project.

BLANKET ADDITIONAL INSURED - WRITTEN

CONTRACTS (ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS AND

This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:

COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY COVERAGE PART

1. The following is added to SECTION II - WHO IS
AN INSURED:

Any person or organization that you agree in a
"written contract requiring insurance" to include as
an additiona I insured on this Co verage Part, but:
a. Only with respect to liability for "bodily injury",
"property damage" or "personal injury"; and
b. If, and only to the extent that, the injury or
damage is caused by acts or omissions of
you or your subcontractor in the performance
of "your work" to which the "written contract
requiring insurance" applies. The person or
organization does not qualify as an additional
insured with respect to the independe nt acts
or omissions of such person or organization .

The insurance prov ided to such additional insured
is limited as follows:
c. In the event that the Limits of Insurance of
this Coverage Part shown in the Declarations
exceed the limits of liability required by the
"written contract requiring insurance", the insurance provided to the additional insured shall be Ii mited to the limits of liability required
by that "written contract requiring insurance".

This endorsement shall not increase the Ii mits
of insurance described in Section Ill - Limits
Of Insurance.
d. This insurance does not apply to the rendering of or failure to render any "professional services" or construction management errors
or omissions.
e. This insurance does not apply to "bodily injury" or "property damage" caused by "your work" and included in the "productscompleted operations hazard" unless the "written contract requiring insurance" specifically requires you to provide such coverage for that additional insured, and then the insurance provided to the additional insured applies only to such "bodily injury" or "property damage" that occurs before the end of the period of time for which the "written contract requiring insurance" requires you to provide such coverage or the end of the pol icy period,
whichever is earlier.

2. The following is added to Paragraph 4.a. of SECTION IV - COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY CONDITIONS:

The insurance provided to the additional insured
is excess over any valid and collectible "other insurance", whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is available to the additional insured for a loss we cover. However, if you specifically agree in the "written contract requiring
insurance" that this insurance provided to the additional insured under this Coverage Part must apply on a primary basis or a primary and noncontributory basis, this insurance is primary to "other insurance" available to the additional insured which covers that person or organization as a named insured for such loss, and we will not
share with that "other insurance". But this insurance provided to the additional insured still is excess over any valid and collectible "other insurance", whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is available to the additional
insured when that person or organization is an
additiona I insured under any "other insurance".

3. The following is added to SECTION IV - COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY CONDITIONS:

Duties Of An Additional Insured
As a condition of coverage provided to the additional insured:
a. The additional insured must give us written
notice as soon as practicable of an "occurrence" or an offense which may result in a claim. To the extent possible, such notice
should include:

CG D414 04 08 © 2008 The Travelers Companies, Inc. Page 1 of 2 Policy #630-5X487435

COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY
i. How, when and where the "occurrence"
or offense took place ;
ii. The names and addresses of any injured
persons and witnesses; and
iii. The nature and location of any injury or
damage arising out of the "occurrence" or
offense.
b. If a claim is made or "suit" is brought against
the additional insured, the additional insured
must:
i. Immediately record the specifics of the
claim or "suit" and the date received; and
ii. Notify us as soon as practicable.

The additional insured must see to it that we
receive written notice of the claim or "suit" as
soon as practicable.
c. The additional insured must immediately send
us copies of all legal papers received in connection with the claim or "suit", cooperate with us in the investigation or settlement of the
claim or defense against the "suit", and otherwise comply with all policy conditions. d. The additional insured must tender the defense and indemnity of any claim or "suit" to any provider of other insurance which would
cover the additional insured for a loss we
cover. However, this condition does not affect
whether this insurance provided to the additional insured is primary to that other insurance available to the additional insured which covers that person or organization as a
named insured.

4. The following is added to the DEFINITIONS Section:
"Written contract requiring insurance" means that
part of any written contract or agreement under
which you are required to include a person or organization as an additional insured on this Coverage Part, provided that the "bodily injury" and "property damage" occurs and the "personal injury" is caused by an offense committed:
a. After the signing and execution of the contract
or agreement by you;
b. While that part of the contract or agreement is
in effect; and
c. Before the end of the policy period.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: CONSENT - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Darin Budak, Recreation and Parks Director
DATE: April 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Agreement with Castle and Cooke California Inc. for the development, dedication and reimbursement of Highgate Linear Park
located along Ming Avenue, West of Highgate Park Boulevard. Ward 5 _
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

On August 15, 2007, City Council adopted Resolution Numbers 161-07, 162-07, 163-07, and 164-07, approving a master planned community commonly referred to as the West Ming Specific Plan, which is a 2,182-acre project generally bounded by Buena Vista Road, White Lane, Allen Road, and the Union Pacific Railroad.

On August 29, 2007, City entered into Development Agreement No. 07-310 with Castle & Cooke California, Inc. (DEVELOPER) and Bolthouse Properties, LLC concerning the West Ming Specific Plan which among other things, allows the parties to enter into a reimbursement agreement for a portion of the cost of any dedications, public facilities and/or infrastructure that City may require as conditions. The West Ming Specific Plan, as originally adopted, included six separate residential villages identified as Villages “A” through “F”, a Village Center District, a Special Use District, and provided for various parks to be located within the Villages. Pursuant to the West Ming Specific Plan, public parks are slated to be provided within Villages “A” through “F” and will be a minimum of six acres in size.

On March 25, 2015, Village “F” which encompasses Park #1 (Belcourt Park), was developed and dedicated to CITY, via Agreement No. 15-070. The West Ming Specific Plan requires DEVELOPER to set aside park land and execute a park improvement/construction agreement with CITY when sixty percent (60%) of land in each Village is subdivided. At least sixty percent (60%) of land in Village “A” has been subdivided which requires DEVELOPER to set aside park land and execute a park dedication, and improvement/construction agreement with CITY; and
On April 10, 2019, City Council adopted General Plan Amendment No. 18-0452, amending the rectangular public park configuration within Village “A” to a conceptual linear park, which runs along the perimeter of the remaining acreage of Village “A”, more specifically located along Ming Avenue, the future West Beltway, Kern River Canal, and Highgate Park Boulevard, referred to as “Park #2”.

The DEVELOPER will construct Park #2 in two phases with each phase being built adjacent to a separate and distinct tentative tract map divided into multiple units; phase one being constructed adjacent to Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7355 and phase two being constructed adjacent to Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7356. A unit represents the geographical area of a vesting tentative tract to be recorded, allowing for a vesting tentative tract to have multiple units within its border.

It is the desire of the parties to set forth the specific plans for Park #2 development, dedication improvement security, and the terms for reimbursement to DEVELOPER. The City is willing to reimburse DEVELOPER for the development and dedication of Park #2 from the collection of park development fees collected by City within all of Village A of the West Ming Specific Plan, including Vesting Tentative Tract Maps 7255, 7256, 7257, 7299, 7300, 7302, 7354, 7355 and Tract 7356, cumulatively consisting of 1,151 buildable lots.

The time period for reimbursement to DEVELOPER for construction of Park #2 shall be for a period of fifteen (15) years from the date of execution of the agreement or until such time that DEVELOPER is reimbursed, whichever is earlier. The park will be maintained by the City once dedicated.

FISCAL IMPACT: The reimbursement to DEVELOPER for the development and dedication of Park # 2 will be paid through the Park Improvement and Development Zone 1 fees that are collected within Village A.

There is no impact to the General Fund.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: April 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Final Map, Improvement Agreement, and Landscape Agreement with D.R. Horton CA3, Inc. for Tract 7039 Phase 1.

Developer is requesting to enter into agreements so the final map for Tract 7039 Phase 1 located at the northwest corner of Renfro Road and Reina Road, can be approved and recorded (Ward 4).

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend approval of the Final Map, Improvement Agreement, and Landscape Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

Per Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 16, “Subdivisions," Tentative Tract Map 7039 was conditioned by the Planning Commission to require the construction of certain improvements within and adjacent to the tentative tract map, which include, but are not limited to, streets, sewer, walls, and storm drain on or adjacent to the property being subdivided. If these improvements are not completed when the developer, D.R. Horton CA3, Inc., wishes to record a portion of the tentative tract map (through a final map), the developer must execute an improvement agreement through which the developer agrees to complete the construction of the improvements within one year of the date the agreement is executed. The City Engineer may extend the time to complete the improvements upon request. Certificates of Occupancy or final inspections will not be allowed for any building within the bounds of the final map until these required improvements are completed and accepted by the City of Bakersfield and a Notice of Completion for the improvements is recorded.

The Public Works Department has completed the review of the final map submitted by the Developer and is recommending that the Council approve the map. In addition, the Improvement Agreement outlining the Developer’s responsibilities for onsite infrastructure improvements, which typically accompanies approval of the final map, is also included and recommended for approval.

The Landscape Improvement Agreement requires the Developer to complete the required landscape and irrigation improvements within the time frame and in the manner outlined in the agreement’s terms. A landscape agreement is required whenever the Developer desires to record their final map before the landscaping improvements are in.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no financial impact to the City. Proposed street improvements are being bonded for and included within the proposed improvement agreement.

COUNCIL GOAL:

The proposed map and agreement support City Council Goal # 3 Reliable Infrastructure.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent – Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: April 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Final Map and agreements with Palmetto Estates, LLC for Tract 7186, Phase 2.

Developer is requesting to enter into an Improvement Agreement and a Restrictive Covenant and Bond Agreement in order for its final map for Tract 7186 Phase 2 located west of Allen Road and north of Olive Drive be approved and recorded (Ward 4).

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the final map and agreements.

BACKGROUND:

Per Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 16, “Subdivisions," Tentative Tract) Map 7186 was conditioned by the Planning Commission to require the construction of certain improvements within and adjacent to the tentative tract map, which include, but are not limited to, streets, sewer, walls, and storm drain on or adjacent to the property being subdivided. If these improvements are not completed when the developer, Palmetto Estates, LLC (“Developer”) wishes to record a portion of the tentative tract map (through a final map), the developer must execute an improvement agreement through which the developer agrees to complete the construction of the improvements within one year of the date the agreement is executed. The City Engineer may extend the time to complete the improvements upon request. Certificates of Occupancy or final inspections will not be allowed for any building within the bounds of the final map until these required improvements are completed and accepted by the City of Bakersfield and a Notice of Completion for the improvements is recorded.

The Public Works Department has completed the review of the final map submitted by the Developer and is recommending that the Council approve the map. In addition, the Improvement Agreement outlining the Developer’s responsibilities for onsite infrastructure improvements, which typically accompanies approval of the final map, is also included and recommended for approval.

While an Improvement Agreement is part of the normal course and process of City Council approving a Final Map, Tract 7186, Phase 2 presents unique circumstances that require an additional Restrictive Covenant and Bond Agreement. When the tentative map for Tract 7186 was initially approved in 2009, both Tract 7186 and Tract 7093 were entirely owned by the same entity, V. Lions Holdings, LLC (“Prior Owner”). At that time, the tracts were designed to be separated by King Ranch Drive, with Phase 2 of Tract 7186 located on the north side and Phase 1 of Tract 7093 on the south side. Although both tracts share King Ranch Drive, the condition of approval requiring construction of King Ranch Drive was only imposed on Tract 7093, Phase 1, even though Lots 1–6 of Tract 7186, Phase 2 also face said street.

Subsequently, the Prior Owner sold certain phases of Tracts 7186 and 7093 to different developers. As a result, the land designated as Phases 1, 2, and 4 of Tract 7093 is now owned by BN Bakersfield 1, LP. Under the conditions of approval for Tract 7093 and the City of Bakersfield (“CITY”)-approved improvement plans submitted by the Prior Owner, the obligation to construct King Ranch Drive applies only to Tract 7093, Phase 1.

Currently, Developer is ready to record its final map. However, Lots 1–6 lack access because BN Bakersfield 1, LP has not yet constructed the street, as required under the conditions of approval for Tract 7093, Phase

1. For this reason, City is willing to allow the recordation of the map for Tract 7186, Phase 2 provided that a restrictive covenant is recorded on each of Lots 1–6. These covenants will prohibit the sale, construction, and development of these lots until King Ranch Drive is completed to the City’s satisfaction and meets all public access requirements. The only exception is that Lots 1–6 can be sold to either to the Prior Owner or to the adjoining developer, BN Bakersfield 1, LLC (or its successor), but no construction or development may occur until the road is built in compliance with CITY’s approval conditions.

To facilitate this arrangement, the Developer is entering into a Restrictive Covenant and Bond Agreement with the City, that includes the restrictive covenants for each of Lots 1-6 and has provided bonds for each of the said lots. These bonds will not be released until King Ranch Drive is fully constructed as conditioned by Tract 7093 Phase 1. If approved, both the Improvement and Restrictive Covenant and Bond Agreements will be recorded concurrently.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no financial impact to the City. Proposed street improvements are being bonded for and included within the proposed improvement agreement.

COUNCIL GOAL:

The proposed map and agreement support City Council Goal # 3 Reliable Infrastructure.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 23, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jennifer M. Byers, Economic and Community Development Director DATE: April 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Agreement with Bakersfield Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative in the amount of $437,850.04.

1. Appropriate $5,678,236.56 Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention Services State Grant Revenue to the General Fund Economic & Community Development Department Operating Budget.

2. Approve agreement with Bakersfield Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative in the amount of $437,850.04 to administer the Continuum of Care’s Homeless Management Information System operations.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the approval of the appropriation of funds and approval of the agreement.

BACKGROUND:

In July 2019, the Governor of California and Legislature approved Assembly Bill 83, which provided funding to local governments under the Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention Program (HHAP).

HHAP rounds 2, 3 and 4, and 5 were approved in June 2020, July 2021, and July 2023, respectively. On July 10, 2023, Governor Newsom signed into law, HHAP-5 which was authorized by Assembly Bill 129.

The City of Bakersfield executed the standard agreement with the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on January 9, 2025 to receive $5,678,236.56 in HHAP-5 funds. Proposed Use categories are based on a regional needs analysis conducted in collaboration with Bakersfield Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative, and the County of Kern. Proposed Projects are funded through joint agreements between the three entities, and sub-awardees will expend funds over a 1-3-year timeframe.

Each round of HHAP funding allows a recipient to subgrant a minimal percentage of funds to the local Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), which is the database mandated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and California Housing and Community Development to aggregate data on homeless populations served in the Continuum of Care’s jurisdiction.

As such, the agreement with Bakersfield Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative would provide $437,850.04 in HHAP rounds 2 through 5 to administer HMIS funds for our local Continuum of Care. The term for this agreement shall end on June 30, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Grant funded, no impact to the General Fund.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Safety and Resilience

for implementation of the Home Repair and Weatherization Program.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend approval of the Amendment.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Bakersfield was awarded Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, a part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), to support the response to and recovery from the COVID-19 public health emergency.

On November 20, 2024, the City of Bakersfield City Council entered into Agreement No. 2024-304 with Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK) for implementation of the Home Repair and Weatherization Program (Program), using $700,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. Prior to engaging CAPK in services rendered for this Program, the city had entered into Agreement No. 2023- 006 (now expired) with Habitat for Humanity-Golden Empire under the same ARPA framework who was unable to complete the Scope of Work.

The City desires to reallocate the unexpended funding originally obligated to Habitat to CAPK which will be used to increase the volume of participants and associated costs for administration of the Program.

An additional $139,548.40 in funding will be added to the CAPK agreement which will revise total compensation not to exceed $839,548.40.

CAPK administers funds for residential improvements that assist homeowners and tenants make necessary health and safety repairs to their home.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the approval of Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 2023-180 BACKGROUND:

On August 9, 2023, the City entered into Agreement No. 2023-180 with Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation for audit services for the Fiscal Year 2023. This agreement was later amended to extend the audit period to allow for completion of the audit due to delays from the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation. The original request for proposal and agreement contemplated a two-year commitment, subject to an annual review and satisfactory terms. The City has a long standing with Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation and has been satisfied with their service. We now wish to enter into a second amendment to add the Fiscal Year 2024 audit to the scope of work. This will increase compensation an additional $102,500 for an amount not to exceed $205,000 and extend the terms of the agreement to December 31, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Increases total compensation by $102,500 for a new not to exceed amount of $205,000.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Innovative and Efficient City Government

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Bakersfield (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign system.

Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.

Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.

How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below.

Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures.

FROM: Kristina Budak, Water Director
DATE: April 9, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 3 to Agreement 2022-067 with Solenis, LLC. (increase compensation $750,000; revised not to exceed $2,250,000 and extend term to April 30, 2026) to provide dewatering polymer for Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of amendment.

BACKGROUND:

Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 (WWTP3) requires digested sludge to undergo a dewatering process.

The primary objective of the dewatering process is to efficiently produce biosolids that can be transported off-site for disposal or beneficial use. The use of polymer is an essential component in the dewatering process.

On April 20, 2022, City entered into Agreement No. 2022-067 with Solenis, LLC (Solenis) to provide polymer for the WWTP3. Solenis was selected after responding to the City’s Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQ/P) for dewatering polymer.

On April 26, 2023, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 for an additional $250,000 and an extension of services for an additional year.

On February 28, 2024, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2 for an additional $750,000 and an extension of services for an additional year.

At this time, based on current operations and projected annual polymer usage, staff recommends exercising the option to extend the contract for one additional year through April 30, 2026, and increasing the compensation by $750,000, for a revised amount not to exceed $2,250,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Sewer Enterprise Fund for this amendment, therefore, there is no impact to the City General Fund associated with this amendment.

SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Agreement 2023-151 with Meyer Civil Engineering Inc. (increase compensation $60,000; revised not to exceed $260,000) for oncall civil engineering and technical support services
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of amendment.

BACKGROUND: The Water Department is responsible for the City’s Domestic Water system and the Kern River System, including several canals. Periodically, the Department requires professional engineering services to maintain and improve these systems. Typical services include performing research, surveying, providing equipment startup assistance, performing calculations and studies, addressing water quality concerns, providing recommendations, and developing plans and specifications for certain projects. Such projects include, but are not limited to, hydraulic structures, waterlines, recharge basins, water wells and pumps, domestic and river water modeling and studies, water treatment, revision of City Standards, and others.

On May 9, 2023, staff advertised a request for qualifications for these services and on June 28, 2023, the Water Department entered into Agreement 2023-151 with Meyer Civil Engineering Inc with a not-toexceed amount of $200,000. Over the last two years, the Department has had engineering needs for weir structures, surveying, and other technical studies related to water that has exhausted the funds. In addition, due to delays in construction, construction projects Meyer Civil Engineering are currently assisting the Department with have extended past the term date of the contract and the term also needs to be extended.

Staff desire to amend Agreement 2023-151 with Meyer Civil Engineering, Inc. to increase compensation by $60,000, with a revised not-to-exceed amount of $260,000 and extend the term of the agreement until December 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are within the operating budget. No impact to General Fund.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: 4/23/2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent – Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: 4/9/2025
SUBJECT: Contract Change Order No. 96 to Agreement No. 18-176 with Security Paving Company (increase compensation by $40,000.00; revised not to exceed $51,947,387.03) for the Bakersfield Freeway Connector Project (Wards 1 & 2).

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the change order.

BACKGROUND:

The Bakersfield Freeway Connector Project will construct improvements along westbound State Route (SR) 58 and southbound SR-99. The improvements include an additional auxiliary lane on westbound SR58, realignment of the westbound SR-58 to southbound SR-99 connector, construction of a branch connector for SR-58 to southbound SR-99 and construction of a collector distributor along southbound SR-99 for the Ming Avenue off-ramps.

Change Order No. 96 provides additional compensation the Contractor for grinding the number 1 and 2 lanes along westbound SR-58 that were installed too high by an adjacent project. The change order also compensates the Contractor for the removal and replacement of a wide flange beam and the concrete pavement on both sides of the wide flange beam. This change order results in an estimated increase of $40,000.00.

The Contractor has refused to sign this change order alleging additional time and money. However, the Contractor needs to substantiate the request for time and money. In a good faith effort to make payments to the Contractor, staff recommends unilateral approval of this change order using the engineer's calculated quantities and without the Contractor's signature. If the Contractor later submits acceptable justification for revisions to this change order, staff will review the additional information and, if changes are warranted, a supplemental change order may be in place on a future City Council Agenda.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The sum of all change orders to date on this project reflects a total cost increase of $3,360,992.03 which results in a 6.92% increase of the original contract amount as illustrated below:

Original Contract Amount = $48,586,395.00
Previous Change Orders = $3,320,992.03
Current Change Orders = $40,000.00
Amended Contract Agreement after CCOs = $51,947,387.03
Net Increase to date = $3,360,992.03
There is no General Fund impact associated with this change order.

Funding for these change orders is available in Project TRCC22 Centennial Corridor Bakersfield Freeway Connector.

COUNCIL GOAL:

MEETING DATE: 4/23/2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent – Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: 4/9/2025
SUBJECT: Contract Change Order No. 14 to Agreement No. 2024-235 with Granite Construction Company (increasing compensation by $33,000.00; revised not to exceed $27,421,837.80) for the Centennial Corridor EB58 to NB99 Loop Connector Project (7th Movement). (Wards 1 & 2)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the change order.

BACKGROUND:

The 7
th Movement Project proposes to construct a new freeway connector ramp from eastbound State Route (SR) 58 freeway to northbound SR 99. At the SR58/SR99 Interchange, construct a new connector starting west of SR 99, on the south side of 58 with a bridge widening over SR 99, a new bridge spanning over Wible Road, and connecting to northbound SR 99. This project also includes the construction of a bike path from Commerce Drive to California Avenue with a pedestrian bridge over the Carrier Canal, permanent closure of the southbound SR 99 to Stockdale Avenue off-ramp, drainage improvements for the Elcia Drive and Real Road intersection, and installation of permanent barrier at the Ming Avenue to southbound SR 99 on-ramp. This Project was awarded in September of 2024 and has an estimated completion date of August of 2026.

Change Order No. 14 provides compensation to the contractor for the removal and disposal of unforeseen buried manmade objects including an abandoned pipe located near Bent 3, cement slurry backfill at Retaining Wall No. 84, and an abandoned water storage facility at “CN7” STA 18+00. This change order results in an estimated increase of $33,000.00.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The sum of all change orders to date on this project reflects a total cost increase of $121,541.00 which results in a 0.45% increase of the original contract amount as illustrated below:

Original Contract Amount = $23,300,296.80
Previous Change Orders = $88,541.00
Current Change Orders = $33,000.00
Amended Contract Agreement after CCOs = $27,421,837.80
Net Increase to date = $121,541.00
There is no General Fund impact associated with this change order.

Federal, State, and Local funding for this change order is available in project 25PWTR01 Centennial Corridor 7

FROM: Kristina Budak, Water Director
DATE: April 11, 2025
SUBJECT: Contract Change Order No. 2 with Nicholas Construction (increase compensation $17,500) to reconstruct the Kern River Backup Weir (Ward 3) RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the contract change order.

BACKGROUND:

The scope of work for this project in general consists of replacing the existing Kern River Canal Backup Weir just east of the Coffee Road bridge. The work includes demolition and removal of existing weir and adjacent retaining wall; removal of existing rubble; and construction of a new reinforced concrete weir with wingwalls and abutment, and adjacent retaining wall.

During construction, Nicholas Construction submitted a request for information in which they proposed a change in the sequencing of work in regards to the instrument room. The proposal is to demolish the existing instrument room and then integrate the existing instrumentation equipment into the new instrument room. This approach will eliminate the need to incur costs to protect the existing instrument room, while the new instrument room is under construction, providing a credit of $15,000 and improve operating efficiencies by having all equipment in one location at the completion of the project. The additional work of transferring and integrating the existing instrumentation into the new instrument room has a cost of $32,500, for a net change cost of $17,500.

Original Contract Amount = $5,309,010
Total of Previous Change Orders = $190,000
Current Contract Change Order = $17,500
Amended Contract Amount After Change Orders = $5,516,510 Net Increase to Date = $207,500
FISCAL IMPACT:

The funding source for this project is the Agricultural Water Fund and sufficient funds are available in the Water Resources Capital Improvement Budget, therefore this contract change order has no impact to the City’s General Fund.

MEETING DATE: April 23, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Bids TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: March 26, 2025
SUBJECT: Adaptive Signal Coordination Calloway Drive from Rosedale Highway to Olive Drive (REBID)

1. Accept Bid and approve contract with AC Electric Company for $428,955.00

2. Authorize staff to approve, as necessary, up to $40,000 in City-controlled contingency for unforeseen conditions during construction of said project. (Ward 4) RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends acceptance of low bid, authorization of change order, and approval of contract.

BACKGROUND:

The proposed project will install new communication equipment along the street segments of Calloway Dr. from Rosedale Hwy to Olive Dr. This new fiber optic communication system will enable staff to proactively manage traffic flow and promote mobility through real-time traffic data collection and management tools. The improved signal timing will reduce overall vehicle stops and starts and limit delays in travel time. This reduction in vehicle stops and starts will improve the corridor’s traffic flow, thereby reducing the air polluting gases generated by vehicles at low speeds and when idling. All vehicle engines are less efficient when traveling at low speeds or idling for long periods of time at a traffic signal. Also, most of the pollutants a vehicle discharges occur when the vehicle accelerates after sitting at a traffic signal for a short period of time. If a vehicle must routinely stop and start in a specified corridor, it will generate more air polluting gases than if the same vehicle were allowed to travel down the specified corridor at a constant speed with minimal slowing or accelerating.

The interconnected traffic signal corridor will be connected to the City of Bakersfield’s Traffic Operations Center (TOC) to better enable City staff to monitor and improve corridor timing and traffic flow. Traffic signals connected to the City’s TOC will also warn City staff when a signal is not functioning properly, allowing a quicker repair-response time so the corridor in question can quickly return to peak operating performance. The Engineer’s Estimate for the project is $447,700.

Item No. 1: On March 13, 2025, a total of two bids were received and one was deemed acceptable. The bids are as follows:

A-C Electric Company In the amount of $428,955.00
2921 Hanger Way
Bakersfield, CA 93308
Innovative Engineering Systems, Inc In the amount of $500,029.95 DBA Agilitech
8800 Crippen St.

Bakersfield, CA 93311
A-C Electric Company is the lowest responsive bidder, and staff recommends acceptance of the bid and approval of the contract.

Item No. 2: Bakersfield Municipal Code section 3.20.105(E) authorizes Public Works Contract Amendments to be executed via Change Order, provided that Change Orders which exceed $10,000 must be approved by the City Council. Staff is requesting pre-approval of up to $40,000 for City-controlled contingency for unforeseen conditions encountered during construction of this project, to be executed via authorized Change Order(s). Any cost which exceeds the City approved contingency, cumulative or otherwise, would require action and approval from the City Council. This City-controlled contingency will save staff time by not having to prepare multiple Council reports for individual routine change orders throughout the project, should they arise. All remaining contingency funds not used will be returned to the fund balance at the end of the project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project (T4K326) is predominantly funded through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program (88.53%) and Utility Surcharge funds (11.47%). Due to the leveraging of these other grants and funding, there is no impact to the General Fund.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing for Consolidated Plan 2025-2030 and Associated Documents Public Hearing regarding the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Consolidated Plan 2025-2030, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 2025-2030, Citizen Participation Plan, and First Year Action Plan.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the Consolidated Plan 2025-2030, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 2025-2030, Citizen Participation Plan, and 2025-2026 Action Plan.

BACKGROUND:

City of Bakersfield Consolidated Plan 2025-2030
Every five years, the City of Bakersfield is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to develop a new Consolidated Plan (ConPlan), Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, Citizen Participation Plan, and First Year Action Plan. The ConPlan outlines the use of approximately $6.8 million per year from the following HUD programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). Total funds for all programs over the next five years will be approximately $34.3 million. The ConPlan and associated documents have been included as attachments.

ConPlan Outreach
As part of the community outreach for the ConPlan 2025-30, a comprehensive community engagement strategy was developed to solicit feedback from the full community. City staff shared information about the Consolidated Plan at four community meetings, three public hearings, several stakeholder focus groups, and various community partner meetings. City staff also engaged with community partners to share on their respective listservs, utilized media through press releases, radio interviews, news interviews, and social media postings. A Community Needs Survey was also conducted, and a 30-day comment period was held from March 22nd to April 23, 2025. Community outreach generated consistent themes across community partner focus groups, community meetings, and surveys.

While other needs were identified, the following top three topics were heard at all levels of engagement:
 Affordable Housing (e.g., rental housing affordability, first-time homebuyers’ assistance, increased housing costs).
 Addressing Homelessness (e.g., homelessness prevention, behavioral health services, and access to housing).
 Economic Development (e.g., job training, living wage, and finding/maintain jobs). 2025-30 ConPlan Goals
When combining all community input received as well as analyzing local data and focus group discussions, the following goals were established for the 2025-30 Consolidated Plan:

1. Invest in and preserve the supply of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households, including homeownership opportunities.

2. Prevent and reduce homelessness, including increased support related to mental and behavioral health.

3. Improve community infrastructure and facilities to promote safe and vibrant communities.

4. Foster and improve the quality of life by increasing access to economic development opportunities.

5. Increase vital services for community residents, including but not limited to, those with special needs, such as children and youth, seniors, persons with disabilities, and persons living with HIV/AIDS.

Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) is a complementary document to the Consolidated Plan that analyzes local housing practices and provides action steps to remove or lower barriers to fair housing choice. Fair Housing laws prohibit discrimination in all aspects of housing, including home sales, rentals, housing policies and financing. Each resident is entitled to equal access to housing opportunities regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability/medical conditions, familial status, marital status, age, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, source of income, or any other arbitrary reason. This document is a requirement by federal and state law and will be submitted by City staff to HUD along with the Consolidated Plan. A completed draft of the AI has been made available for public review with the Draft 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan. 2025-26 Annual Action Plan
For each year covered under the Consolidated Plan, the City also prepares an Annual Action Plan that describes the projects and activities funded during that fiscal year. These projects and activities are based on the goals identified in the ConPlan. For the First Year Action Plan, covering FY2025-26, the anticipated Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS/HIV (HOPWA) entitlement total is $6,879,590.

On February 10, 2025, the Budget and Finance Committee of the City Council was provided an overview of all funding applications received for the FY2025-26 Action Plan, as well as a list of staff-proposed projects to be funded in the upcoming fiscal year through CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG. The Budget and Finance Committee then forwarded a recommendation to the City Council to fund the attached projects as part of its 2025-26 First Year Action Plan.

Next Steps
This Public Hearing is the final meeting being held before the City Council to consider approval of the 2025-30 ConPlan and associated documents. City staff plans to submit final ConPlan documents to HUD before the deadline of May 14, 2025 (unless updated by HUD).

1. Introduction
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)).

As part of the outreach effort in the development of the Consolidated Plan (ConPlan), the City of Bakersfield (City) consulted and coordinated with governmental agencies, nonprofit service providers, businesses, and community members to identify the needs of the low- and moderate-income (LMI) populations in Bakersfield. This effort was conducted through focus groups and one-on-one consultations.

Focus Groups
The City hosted four focus groups, one each for the following sectors:
● Affordable housing
● Homelessness
● Economic development
● Community development and services
These focus groups were conducted to familiarize representatives of key organizations and stakeholders with the ConPlan and understand their perspectives on emerging trends and community needs. In total, 39 representatives of 17 different organizations attended (documented in Table PR-10.1). Their feedback is discussed in detail in the sections below.

Consultations
The City conducted comprehensive outreach to key organizations to enhance coordination, solicit feedback, and discuss new approaches and efficiencies with public and assisted housing providers, private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies, homeless services, and fair housing. The City prioritized consultations with stakeholders that utilize funding for eligible activities, projects and programs. The organizations consulted included:
● Housing Authority of the County of Kern (HACK)
● Kern County Public Health Department
● Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG)
● Bakersfield-Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative
● Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance
3 Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness The Bakersfield Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative (BKRHC) is the region’s Continuum of Care (CoC) and is comprised of 45 member organizations. The CoC includes homelessness service providers, government agencies, advocacy groups, businesses, as well as people with lived experience (including those currently experiencing homelessness) who bring expertise from working directly with people experiencing homelessness in finding permanent housing and getting connected to desired supports to reach their full potential. BKRHC is led by a nine-member Executive Board, which is responsible for the fiduciary responsibilities and operations of the organization and managed by the CoC professional staff.

The work of the CoC is maintained and conducted by a sixteen-member Governing Board authorized by the voting members of the CoC to conduct the work and structured as defined in the CoC Governance Charter.

The City’s coordination strategies for the ConPlan included community outreach with many of the BKRHC membership organizations through focus groups and one-on-one consultations. The City shared information on the ConPlan’s Community Needs Survey and ConPlan Community Meetings with CoC members and requested it be distributed to their networks, including Kern County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, Kern Health Systems Managed Care Plan, and Community Action Partnership of Kern. Additionally, the City distributed paper Community Needs surveys to solicit feedback from guests of the local emergency shelters to inform the ConPlan’s priorities. The City’s Economic and Community Development Department also continuously collaborates with BKRHC and its members through monthly board meetings and email communications.

In January 2025, the BKRHC conducted its annual Point in Time Count to determine the number of homeless people in both Kern County and the City of Bakersfield. The BKRHC is also implementing its Kern County Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness to strengthen the current system of care to meet the full needs and capacity of the Kern County community. The results and strategies associated with these two efforts informed and are included in many sections of the ConPlan. The BKRHC’s plan to end homelessness and the City’s ConPlan complement and supplement each other and will work in concert to address the needs of the City’s LMI and special needs populations.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS The City funds programs within the Continuum of Care (CoC) through the ESG program. The City also works with the CoC to ensure subrecipient compliance with Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and other performance standards. The City is also an active member of the CoC and serves in a leadership capacity on both the executive board and governing board. In addition to providing funding to the BKRHC (which includes funding for staffing and the administration of HMIS), the City participates 4 in the development of its policies and procedures through participation in the Performance Review Committee. All municipal ESG grantees are required to use HMIS and collaborate with the CoC to report outcomes in HMIS. According to HUD, HMIS is “a local information technology system used to collect client-level data and data on the provision of housing and services to homeless individuals and families, and persons at risk of homelessness.” The City of Bakersfield is part of the CoC’s Performance and Evaluation committee to enhance and coordinate performance metrics across all grants. The CoC provides feedback annually on ESG priorities through a survey.

Additionally, each year data collection for the ESG portion of the CAPER is extracted from the most recent version of the HMIS Data Standards and submitted to the City. The City also uses the required HUD reporting system for ESG accomplishment data which is the Sage HMIS Reporting Repository (Sage).

Table 3 – Other local / regional / federal planning efforts Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(l))
The sections above describe many of the City’s efforts to cooperate and coordinate with public entities and adjacent units of government, including HACK and KernCOG. Coordination with multiple public agencies in California will be increasingly important during the 2025-2030 ConPlan cycle. The State has recently increased the amount of money dedicated to affordable housing and homelessness facilities and services, as well as strengthening requirements for the City’s Housing Element. Efficiently deploying this money, as well as seeking opportunities to leverage the funds, will be critical to achieving the goals of the ConPlan.

Narrative (optional):
11 PR-15 Citizen Participation – 91.105, 91.115, 91.200(c) and 91.300(c)

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting The City carried out a broad, multifaceted community engagement effort in accordance with the Citizen Participation Plan, which encourages the involvement of LMI populations and outlines requirements for the following processes and events:
● Location and publication of public notices;
● 30-day public review period;
● Availability of the documents;
● Public hearings and public meetings;
● Public comment process;
● Required approval; and,
● Deadlines.

Adhering to the Citizen Participation Plan, the City conducted the following actions to ensure maximum participation of organizational stakeholders and community members in the Consolidated Planning process:
● Four community workshops: one virtual and two held in-person; ● Informational presentation to City Council on January 22, 2025; ● Results from ongoing community outreach events;
● Online and paper survey in English and Spanish;
● 30-day public comment period; and,
● Public hearing.

The City made every effort to broaden public participation, including publishing the community workshop notices in two local newspapers, the Bakersfield Californian and El Popular (Spanish), on September 20, 2024, two weeks before the first community workshop. The City also placed workshop announcements on its website’s Consolidated Plan landing page, emailed community stakeholders, and posted community engagement notices on Facebook on October 21, 2024. The Bakersfield-Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative, Kern County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, Greenfield Walking Group, and Leadership Counsel all shared information on the ConPlan’s community workshop and community needs survey through their listservs (in English and Spanish). Kern Family Health Care shared information via social media as well. The City also made provisions to provide a bilingual (Spanish) interpreter at the community workshops and ensured workshop locations were convenient and accessible to those with special needs, including holding one virtual session.

Community Workshops
Three community workshops were conducted to introduce residents to the City’s ConPlan process, familiarize them with federal funding, and to solicit input on community needs and where investment 12 can be most impactful. The workshops were held in LMI communities and sought to obtain broad input from the City’s diverse communities. Thirty-seven community members participated in the workshops and provided feedback on their housing and economic and community development priorities. The workshops were held at the following locations:

Information about the ConPlan and the community needs that it identifies was presented at each meeting. The presentation included the purpose of the ConPlan, the funding programs with which it is associated, past projects that were funded in the previous ConPlan cycle, and an economic and demographic profile of Bakersfield to frame the next ConPlan cycle.

The presentation was followed by a series of facilitated discussions in which attendees discussed how the City could be more inclusive of LMI residents and communities, as well as the highest needs in their respective communities. They were also asked to rank their priorities in their communities using a worksheet at the in-person meeting and the online polling platform Mentimeter during the virtual meeting. Categories included affordable housing, housing and services for those experiencing homelessness, community facilities, social and public services, infrastructure, accommodations for those with special needs, and economic development.

The in-person meetings at the Baker Street Community Room and the Bakersfield Senior Center had seven and 30 people in attendance, respectively.

Community Needs Survey
To supplement the community workshops and to further understand the needs of the City’s LMI residents, a Community Needs and Fair Housing Survey was offered in both English and Spanish. To give as many people as possible the chance to voice their opinion, emphasis was placed on making the survey widely available and gathering as many responses as possible. The survey was available online via Google Forms and linked on the City’s website. It was also publicized in the following ways:
● A link to the online survey was placed on the City’s website. ● 175 entities, organizations, agencies, and persons were emailed a link to the survey. ● City staff posted the link to the survey on its Facebook page. ● All City Council offices were provided the link to distribute to their constituents.

The City also engaged partners in spreading the word on the survey by distributing emails to their listservs and providing paper surveys to 22 community partners who work with this group, the list includes:

Lastly, this presentation was provided to the Cal State Bakersfield Master of Public Administration Class to 30 people.

During the five-week survey period from October 1, 2024 to November 10, 2024, there were 496 responses to the survey; 471 were completed in English and 25 were completed in Spanish, that meaningfully contributed to the development of the ConPlan goals. While the majority of surveys were completed electronically, the City received paper surveys from various agencies totaling 188 English survey responses and 20 Spanish survey responses.

Table 4 – Citizen Participation Outreach
16 Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
Strategically located within four hours of 90% of California’s population, Bakersfield has seen strong population and economic growth in recent years. With a population of about 400,000 – a 10% increase since HUD’s base year of 2009 – the City is the ninth largest in the state and the 52nd-most populous in the country. Median income is up 15% since 2009, driven in part by Kern County’s status as one of the top producers of oil and agricultural products in the United States.

However, many households in Bakersfield still struggle with conditions of poverty, particularly those in census tracts with at least 51% low- and moderate- income (LMI) persons, a standard for qualifying for CDBG funding (see Figure NA-05.1). For example, Bakersfield’s housing market, while relatively affordable compared to other major metropolitan areas in California, has seen costs outpace many LMI households’ ability to afford them. This is evidenced by many socioeconomic data indicators, including the concentration of housing cost burden in CDBG-eligible census tracts, as well as the 2024 Point-inTime increase in homelessness.

Figure NA-05.1: Median Household Income by Census Tract Source: Opportunity Atlas
17 Figure NA-05.2: Percentage of Households Housing-Cost-Burdened by Census Tract Source: CalEnviroScreen 3.0
Housing costs have increased since the previous ConPlan cycle and the negative impacts are concentrated in central and southeast Bakersfield, which contain many of the City’s LMI census tracts.

Table NA-05.2 depicts housing cost burden by census tract, with darker colored census tracts indicating a higher percentage of households that are housing-cost-burdened. In some census tracts, the share of the population that is cost burdened is over 90%. These and other census tracts in which the majority of the population is cost burdened correlate with the census tracts that have the lowest median incomes represented in Table NA-05.3 below. This indicates a correlation between income and cost burden – the lower a household’s income, the more likely it is to experience housing cost burden.

Housing-cost-burden is just one area analyzed in the Needs Assessment. Others include high priority needs in affordable and special needs housing, homelessness, and community development. Together, these identified needs form the basis for the Strategic Plan and the programs and projects to be funded with federal entitlement grants.

Much of the data in this section is derived from the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data developed by the Census Bureau for HUD based on 2011-2015 American Community Survey (ACS) data. Other sources are noted throughout the Plan.

The Needs Assessment includes the following sections:
● NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment
● NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems 18 ● NA-20 Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems ● NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burden ● NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion
● NA-35 Public Housing
● NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment
● NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment
● NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs
Below are demographic terms and definitions found throughout the Needs Assessment:
● Small family household: A household with two-to-four members. ● Large family household: A household with five or more members. ● Elderly/seniors: Ages 62 and older.
● Household: All people living in a housing unit. Members of a household can be related or unrelated.
● Family: Related individuals living in the same household. ● Nonfamily: Unrelated individuals living in the same household.

The four housing problems outlined in the data and narrative below are defined in narrow terms as follows:
● Incomplete kitchen facilities. A complete kitchen consists of a sink with a faucet, a stove or range, and a refrigerator.
● Incomplete plumbing facilities. Complete plumbing consists of hot and cold running water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or shower.
● Cost Burden. Spending more than 30% of monthly income on housing costs. ● Overcrowding: More than one person per room.

The following outlines income categories used in this report:
● Area median income (AMI):
o Extremely Low-income: 0-30% AMI
o Very Low-income: 30-50% AMI
o Low-income: 50-80% AMI
o Moderate-income: 80-120% AMI
o Median Income: 100% AMI
● HUD adjusted median family incomes (HAMFI):
o Extremely low-income: 0-30% HAMFI
o Very low-income: 30-50% HAMFI
o Low-income: 50-80% HAMFI
o Middle-income: 80-100% HAMFI
o Upper income: 100% HAMFI and above
19 Note: AMI and HAMFI are functionally the same when referring to lower-income populations. However, HUD uses HAMFI to determine Fair Market Rents, which guides eligibility for many of its programs including Housing Choice Vouchers (i.e. Section 8). AMI is an industry term used more generally but often refers to income limits for income-restricted affordable housing. The use of each term is noted throughout the ConPlan.

The previous ConPlan showed there were 50,340 LMI households in Bakersfield. Table NA-10.2 above displays the number of households within each income bracket for this ConPlan cycle. There are now 59,200LMI households, representing about an 18% increase. However, the difference in the number of LMI households is much more significant when considering income brackets individually. The number of extremely low-income (ELI) households, defined as 0-30% HAMFI, increased 19%, and there was an increase of 23% in the low-income category (50-80%).

Overall, the number of lower income households represent 50% of all households, where in the previous ConPlan these households represented 45% of households. ELI and very low-income (VLI) households 21 representing a greater share of the LMI households in Bakersfield comes at a time when local economic indicators have been negatively impacted by the COVID pandemic. Although the median has increased by 15% since the base year of 2009, unemployment in Bakersfield is 7.2% in 2024 - which has greatly improved since 2020, when it reached 17.2% at the height of the pandemic –it is still higher than both the State of California and the country as a whole.1
In addition, while the number of households identified as LMI has increased, the number of households earning above the median has decreased since the previous ConPlan by about 4%. Anecdotal information suggests that remote work that came as the result of the pandemic allowed those who could afford it to move to other locations in the country, such as Tennessee and Texas. In addition, there continues to be opportunities for people in the agricultural and petrochemical economic sectors, bringing in less affluent people looking for jobs. There are many more plausible reasons for the decrease in households earning above the median, but the outcome is clear: there are more Bakersfield residents in need than they were during the previous ConPlan cycle. 1 See https://datacommons.org/explore#q=california+unemployment+rate&dc=&client=ui_query 22 Housing Needs Summary Tables

Table 12 – Crowding Information – 2/2
Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.

According to the 2023 ACS one-year estimate, of the total households in Bakersfield, approximately 26,746, or about 20% of all households, are single person households. Of the 118,559 total existing housing units in the City, 10,059, or about 8%, are studios and one-bedroom, the housing types that are less costly than larger homes and that typically appeal to one-person households. Since 2020, the State estimates that the total number of units has increased 4%, of which 82% were single-family units. Only 10% were multifamily units (610 units).

According to Deloitte, single-person households are more likely to rent and prefer multifamily homes.

They are also more likely to experience housing cost burdens. 2 The gap between the demand from
single-person households and the availability of studio/one-bedroom housing units, which are usually part of multifamily housing developments, suggests that many single-person households may struggle to access the housing units that are more affordable and typically occupied by individuals. The Market Analysis includes further discussion to address housing pressures and affordability.

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.

According to 2023 ACS one-year estimates, there are a total of 48,995 people with a disability in Bakersfield, with 13,349 (27%) below the federal poverty level, meaning they earn only about $15,000 annually, which is considered extremely low-income.

Based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s 2016/2017 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (the most recent information available), in California 30.6% of women and

30.5% of men have been victimized by rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner. In Bakersfield, where the 2023 population of is estimated to include 212,199 females and 201,177 males, these proportions equate to approximately 65,000 women and 61,000 men. More recent and localized data indicate that domestic violence has increased annually since 2020, when the Bakersfield Police 2 “Single-person households: Another look at the changing American family,” Dr. Daniel Bachman and Akrur Barua, Deloitte Insights, November 12, 2015.
27 Department received 1,783 reports of violent incidents, whereas by 2023 that number increased by 15%, to 2,486.3
What are the most common housing problems?
By far the most common housing problem in Bakersfield is overpayment, or housing cost burden. As shown in Tables NA-10.3 and NA-10.5, 33,092 households earning between zero and 80% AMI spend over 30% of their income on housing. The majority of those households are renters; 63% of those overpaying for housing are renters. Among those spending more than 50% of their income on housing— classified as having a severe cost burden—there is a more equal distribution between renters and owners. However, within each income category, household type significantly affects the level of cost burden. For example, elderly renter households in the ELI category represent 100% of households in that income category that are severely cost burdened. Similarly, small related owner households (5 or fewer people) represent 40% of all lower-income owner households that have a severe cost burden.

A related but less common problem is overcrowding, as large households, extended families, or multiple households may occupy the same housing unit. According to Table NA-10.7, a total of 7,457 LMI households are considered overcrowded (in excess of one person per room); renter households have the greatest need, representing 73% of all overcrowded LMI households. The problem is most acutely experienced in single-family households as they represent 80% of all renter LMI renter households with overcrowding, and 66% of all LMI owner households. In total, 24,010 LMI households, or about 20% of all households in the city, experience at least one housing problem.

Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? LMI renter households experience the preponderance of housing problems as indicated above, with cost burden and overcrowding being the most significant. However, owner households are not immune to housing problems: 8,475 LMI owner households experience at least one housing problem, with housing cost burden yet again the most common problem. But LMI renters tend to have more housing problems as a group, with 46% having at least one housing problem, while the owners experience only 33% of housing problems.

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 rehousing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance The housing needs of low-income individuals and families with children are centered on cost burden. As discussed above, LMI renters, particularly ELI households, are more likely to experience housing 3 Domestic Violence Increased in Bakersfield, news report. 28 problems, especially severe housing cost burden. Overall, elderly renters and owners in the ELI category have severe cost burdens.

For low-income single-parent households, the cost burden is compounded by the added responsibilities assumed by the parent and the added demands on his/her time. According to 2016-2020 ACS data, there are a total of 12,829 single-parent households in Bakersfield and in 10,869 of these households, or about 85%, the householder is female – a substantial change from the last ConPlan, when this figure was about 71%. Households headed by women with children can often suffer an additional cost burden due to income disparities.

Rapid Rehousing (RRH) activities in Bakersfield are offered through multiple agencies in the community.

RRH provides short-term rental assistance (three to 24 months) and case management to individuals and families to end their homeless crisis. Each month a Case Manager meets with the client to review their Goal Plan progress and/or discuss any other needs of the client. The Case Manager will also monitor the participant’s financial status and budget, make home visits to ensure the unit remains compliant with HUD Habitability Standards, and advocate on behalf of the tenant as needed to encourage landlords to make needed repairs.

Program participants’ needs as they near the end of their assistance generally involve securing employment, accessing social services and other resources, and developing the knowledge and skills needed to achieve greater financial stability and remain permanently housed. Participants are notified of workshops, job fairs and/or any other public functions that may benefit them. At the close of a participant’s case, they receive a Community Reference Sheet and information about the Kern County 211 Hotline, the region’s community information exchange (CIE).

The BKRHC Kern County Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness identifies 548 rapid rehousing beds in the Bakersfield/Kern homeless system of care. To increase the transition of individuals and families out of the homeless system of care, more housing options are needed. The plan calls for an additional 2,136 permanent supportive housing (PSH) and 1,945 RRH units in Kern County. Successful exits to permanent housing may require ongoing support to ensure that people remain stably housed. The additional supports referenced above also include support for this transition to permanent housing.

Supporting the success of someone into housing, by building resources, services, training, and independence is the goal to building healthy, independent, successful communities. Reducing the cycle of recidivism by ensuring after-care services is a low-cost alternative to the ongoing resources used when someone enters homelessness.

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:

The Continuum of Care does not currently estimate the at-risk population; however, it does use the HUD definition for this group. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as amended by the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing, or HEARTH, Act of 2009, provides a definition of 29 people “at-risk” of homelessness who are eligible for services to prevent homelessness and RRH assistance. “The term `at-risk of homelessness' means, with respect to an individual or family, that the individual or family:

A. has income below 30% of median income for the geographic area; B. has insufficient resources immediately available to attain housing stability; and C. (i) has moved frequently because of economic reasons; (ii) is living in the home of another because of economic hardship; (iii) has been notified that their right to occupy their current housing or living situation will be terminated;
(iv) lives in a hotel or motel;
(v) lives in severely overcrowded housing;
(vi) is exiting an institution; or
(vii) otherwise lives in housing that has characteristics associated with instability and an increased risk of homelessness.

The Bakersfield-Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative (BKRHC) recognizes that preventing homelessness is both a more humane and a more cost-effective strategy than providing help after a person or household have become homeless. Under the current system, people thought to be at risk of experiencing homelessness are screened through a Quick Referral Tool (QRT) that evaluates, prioritizes, and recommends services for at-risk persons based on several factors that may make it hard to remain in housing, including, but not limited to:
● Household size and composition
● Safety in current location
● Legal challenges
● Prior homelessness
● Frequent moves
● Threat of eviction
● Medical issues
Based on this assessment, people are placed on a service priority list. That list is used to provide referrals to housing stability case management, housing search and placement assistance, landlordtenant mediation, tenant legal services, and credit repair support. Financial assistance may include up to six months of rental assistance, rental arrears, utility payments, security, utility deposits, and moving costs. Supportive services linkages may include employment services, income benefits, health care, mental health and/or substance abuse treatment, and transportation.

BKRHC and CoC members also work to prevent the return to homelessness after a person or household is placed in permanent housing. Strategies include providing aftercare, monitoring and case management for three years after placement (or longer if needed); education on how to access the homelessness system of care when support is needed; and a focus on increasing self-sufficiency. 30 While prevention has long been part of the region’s strategy to address homelessness, minimal funding has been available for these efforts, historically.

The upper limit for ELI was determined as 30% of the County median household income, according to HUD and State Department of Housing and Community Development calculations. The State has created a new category of income, acutely low-income, which represents households earning less than 15% of median. Below is a table that illustrates these categories.

There are many factors that increase the risk of homelessness, but most impactful is housing cost. Many studies have confirmed this correlation as the housing affordability crisis affecting California and much of the country has intensified in recent years. In 2018, researchers at the University of New Hampshire, Boston University, and the University of Pennsylvania found that a rapid increase in homelessness can be expected in housing markets in which people spend more than 32% of their income on housing costs;4 and economists at University of California Los Angeles came to a similar conclusion: as housing costs increase so does homelessness.5
The impact of high construction costs on affordable housing cannot be underestimated. According to a study by the Bay Area Council, in 2019 there were 23 new construction projects of below market-rate housing financed through the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, with a total of 1,912 units across six counties of the nine-county Bay Area. Each project in California requested federal and/or state tax credits to finance the new construction of housing units with rents affordable to households earning 30-60% of AMI, which are very low-income households. The project costs consist of land and acquisition, construction costs, construction contingency, architectural/engineering, construction interest, permanent financing, legal fees, reserves, other costs, developer fees, and commercial costs. Project costs were analyzed to determine the reasonableness of all fees within Tax Credit Allocation Committee’s (TCAC) underwriting guidelines and TCAC limitations. 4 Chris Glynn, “Homelessness Rises Faster Where Rent Exceeds a Third of Income,” Trulia, December 11, 2018. 5 Andrew Khouri, “High cost of housing drives up homeless rates, UCLA study indicates,” Los Angeles Times, June 13, 2018. 31 The report found that the average construction cost of new below market-rate housing in the Bay Area was $664,455 per unit, far more than lower income households can afford without subsidies. In comparison, other projects across California (excluding the Bay Area), on average cost $385,185 per unit of below market rate housing.
6 As Bakersfield’s population has increased, so too has its housing costs. Anecdotal information from affordable housing developers suggests that the cost to build a single unit in Bakersfield can cost as much as a half a million dollars -- while less than the cost in the Bay Area, it is still far above what an LMI household can afford without subsidies.

As previously discussed, LMI renter households are the households most likely to experience housing problems, including severe cost burden. The correlation between homelessness and housing costs in part accounts for Kern County’s 2024 Point-in-Time count finding a 67% increase in homelessness from 2022. A lack of affordable housing is not the only contributing factor to homelessness – a loss of employment and income, medical issues, drug use, illness, and family violence also increase the risk of homelessness – but, as the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty reports, the lack of affordable housing is a major cause.7
These issues further compound one another. While an LMI renter may be able to make monthly rent payments, an unexpected event such as a medical bill can be costly and jeopardize their ability to stay in their home. The Federal Reserve reports that while households are generally recovering from the economic problems posed by the pandemic, there have been challenges for households paying rent, and there are significant concerns about the level of inflation impacting purchasing choices.8 Discussion

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
A disproportionately greater need exists when members of racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience housing problems at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole. For example, if 60% of all low-income households within a jurisdiction have a housing problem and 70% or more of low-income Hispanic households have a housing problem, then low-income Hispanic households have a disproportionately greater need.

The four housing problems are:

At the extremely low-income level, there is disproportionately greater need among Pacific Islanders, though the total number of households in this group is quite small – just 15 households. The need in the entire income bracket equals 84%, and the need in the Pacific Islander category is 100%. 30-50% AMI
Similarly, the very low-income level has one population that experiences disproportionately greater need. Every Pacific Islander household counted in the income bracket has at least one housing problem, whereas the need among all households is 84%. However, in absolute numbers, there are only 20 Pacific Islander households.

Two populations experience disproportionately greater need than the overall low-income population, which stands at 71%. At 86%, Black/African American households have a disproportionately greater need, and every Pacific Islander household has at least one housing problem (though there are only 20 households in this category).
80-100% AMI
At 100%, Native American/Alaska Native households are the only group in the moderate-income level that experiences disproportionately greater need; again, however, in absolute numbers the group is quite small (four households).

Discussion
0-30% AMI
At the extremely low-income level, Pacific Islanders are disproportionately impacted, with 100% of households with a severe housing problem. However, the total number of such households is quite small (15). It should be noted, however, that in the jurisdiction as a whole, 76% of ELI households have severe housing problems.
30-50% AMI
There are no households in the very low-income level that have disproportionately greater needs. 50-80% AMI
At 29%, a relatively small portion of the overall low-income population experiences a severe housing problem, but one subset population does experience disproportionately greater need: again, 100% of 39 Pacific Islanders households have a disproportionately greater need. However, in absolute terms, this number is quite low – just 20 households.
80-100% AMI
There are no households in this income category that have a disproportionately greater need that the jurisdiction as a whole.

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:

To compute disproportionately greater need relative to housing cost burden, the numbers in each row of Table NA-25.1 below are divided by the total number of households either as a whole or for that race/ethnicity. For example, 72,160 households in Bakersfield spend less than 30% of their income on housing. That number is divided by the 112,439 total households to compute that nearly 62% of households are not cost burdened.

Discussion:
30-50% cost burden
For households spending 30-50% of their income on housing, which is considered cost burdened, Pacific Islanders emerge as the only population with disproportionately greater need, with 31% of households cost burdened. Pacific Islanders have a need 11% greater than cost burdened households as a whole. 41 Greater than 50% cost burden
Black/African American households spending more than 50% of their incomes on housing costs, which is considered severely cost burdened, are the only subset with a disproportionately greater need, at 31%.

Overall, only 16% of the City as a whole has a cost burden greater than 50%. 42 NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion – 91.205(b)(2) Are there any income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole? The data presented in Sections NA-15 through NA-25 reveals that there are racial or ethnic groups that have disproportionately greater need. A disproportionately greater need exists when members of a racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience housing problems at a rate at least 10% higher than the income level as a whole. The following racial or ethnic groups have disproportionately greater need:

Housing Problems
● 0-30% AMI: Pacific Islander
● 30-50% AMI: Pacific Islander
● 50-80% AMI: Black/African American and Pacific Islander ● 80-100% AMI: American Indian/Alaska Native
Severe Housing Problems
● 0-30% AMI: Pacific Islander
● 30-50% AMI: none
● 50-80% AMI: Pacific Islander
● 80-100% AMI: none
Housing Cost Burden
● 30-50% cost burden: Pacific Islander
● Greater than 50% cost burden: Black/African American
Only White and Hispanic households do not have a disproportionately greater need in any category at any income level. However, Hispanic households do often have a rate of need higher than that for all households, it just never exceeds the 10% threshold for disproportionately greater need. In addition, with the exception of Black/African American households, those that show disproportionately greater need are represented in small numbers of households. Further, of all households paying more than 50% of their income on housing, Latino/Hispanic households are the largest group, at 45% of the total.

If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? Not applicable.

Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community?
43 HUD defines a census tract as a Racially and Ethnically Concentrated Area of Poverty (R/ECAP) if at least 40% of the population is living below the poverty line and at least 50% population identifies as other than non-Hispanic White.

48 Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units:

The Housing Authority for the County of Kern (HACK) is responsible for managing the public housing inventory, deed-restricted affordable housing units, and the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) in Kern County and Bakersfield. Across the County, HACK manages:
• 8 federally funded low-income public housing complexes in Kern County, for a total of 545 housing units. Bakersfield is home to four of these developments, with a total of 397 units; • 13 farm worker housing locations with over 800 housing units; • 172 units for seasonal farm worker labor at two locations; • 67 developments with over 3,000 affordable housing units; and, • HCV and other voucher programs provide rent subsidies for 4,717 low-income households.

Each of these populations has different housing needs, but common among them are extremely low incomes. The average annual income of public housing tenants is about $21,000. With a household size of three, the average public housing tenant earns $4,000 less than the Kern County ELI limit and about the same—$4,000—less than the federal poverty level.

Vouchers. The immediate need of the households participating in the Section 8 Public Housing Program is the accessibility to affordable rental units that fall within the rent levels of HUD's Fair Market Rents, which stands at $1,258 for a two-bedroom housing unit. With a median gross rent of $1,925, there is not enough housing that HCV recipients can afford. Additionally, there are no requirements for landlords to accept HCV recipients, and naturally occurring affordable housing on the private rental market is rarely reserved for LMI households or HCV recipients.

Beyond availability of affordable units, there is an additional need for housing with accessibility features, based on the characteristics of the participants including a high percentage of the elderly and persons with disabilities.

In total, 3,694 households in Bakersfield receive Housing Choice Voucher assistance through HACK, with a waiting list of 11,513 applicants. As shown above nearly 29% of all voucher recipients in the City are householders who are seniors and nearly 45% include persons with disabilities. Exacerbating these populations’ challenges is an extremely low average annual income of $16,147.

How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large In general, the proportion of public housing residents and voucher holders who are Black/African American is greater than that of the City’s population at large. About 8% of the City population identifies as Black/African American, compared to 43% of public housing residents and 38% of voucher holders. 49 The Census Bureau allows people of any racial category to indicate Hispanic origin or non-Hispanic origin. According to the 2020 data, 53% of City residents identify as being of Hispanic origin. Hispanics are proportionally represented among public housing residents (55% of total) and underrepresented among voucher recipients (34% of total).

50 NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)
Introduction:

In Kern County and Bakersfield, the Bakersfield Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative (BKRHC) serves as the HUD Continuum of Care (CoC), the local homeless assistance planning network. As the CoC, BKRHC acts as the Fiscal Agent and Collaborative Applicant. BKRHC partners with many government and community-based organizations, including the City of Bakersfield and the Housing Authority of the County of Kern (HACK), to carry out its mission. Using the collective impact model, BKRHC strives to prevent and end homelessness in Kern County.

Below are definitions of key terms used to assess and analyze homelessness:
● Unsheltered: An estimate for the number of unsheltered persons experiencing homelessness on a given night for each of the homeless populations by residing in a place not meant for human habitation (e.g., streets, parks, alleys, abandoned buildings, vehicles, etc.). ● Number experiencing homelessness each year: unduplicated count of all persons enrolled during the program year.
● Number becoming homeless each year: unduplicated count of persons with new entries appearing in HMIS during the year.
● Number exiting homelessness each year: unduplicated count of persons exiting programs to a permanent destination as defined by HUD.
● Number of days persons experience homelessness: average of the sums of the lengths of stays for each person.

The data in this section is derived primarily from the 2024 Point-in-Time (PIT) count administered by the BKRHC and conducted by 421 volunteers throughout Kern County. Some data collected through the PIT count is specific to the City of Bakersfield, such as the number of sheltered and unsheltered people, but other data is only Countywide and its applicability to Bakersfield can only be inferred. Additionally, the Housing Inventory Count (HIC) and Annual Performance Report (APR) data were used to determine bed availability by population.

CA-604 Homeless System Performance
Measures 2023
While the data for each specific homeless population becoming homeless annually is not available, as shown in Figure NA-40.1, there is data for the number of people becoming homeless based on enrollments in HMIS who accessed emergency shelter, safe havens, and transitional housing from fiscal year 2023, as well as showing the numbers from fiscal years 2015 through 2023. It indicates an increase in 260 additional individuals experiencing homelessness from 2022 to 2023 and 2,622 individuals experiencing homelessness for the first time. This increase may be attributed to the fact that, the BKRHC and community leaders developed a strategy to increase volunteer turnout and improve the count’s methodology. The strategy resulted in a record volunteer turnout and included two additional days to count rural Kern County areas, including the Kern Riverbed, which has contributed, in part, to the year-over-year increase in total number of persons counted from 2022. 53 Figure NA-40.2: FY2023 Performance Measurement Module (Sys PM) Change in Exit to Permanent Housing Destinations, Estimate the # exiting homelessness each year Source: Bakersfield/Kern County CoC CA-604 Homeless System Performance Measures 2023 The CoC provides exits from homelessness by housing type. This includes emergency shelter (ES), safe haven (SH), transitional housing (TH), permanent housing-rapid rehousing (PH-RRH), and other permanent housing (PH) projects. Figure NA-40.2 shows that 25.8% of individuals exited to permanent housing in Fiscal Year 2023 across those projects, successfully ending their homeless crisis. There has been a decline in exits to permanent housing from ES, SH, TH, and RRH over the last year.

Table NA-40.2: Unmet Need by CoC
Source: Kern County Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness, 2024.

The 2024 BKRHC Strategic Plan found that 180 people flow into the homeless system of care each year on average (3,621) compared to the average number who exit the system (3,444), which has resulted in the community developing a goal of reducing the inflow of people entering into homelessness through 54 prevention and diversion. This is primarily driven by adult-only households. The system has been successfully addressing the needs of families experiencing homelessness. These numbers will change from year to year based on both factors outside of the system’s control (e.g., housing vacancy rate, economic climate) as well as factors the system can influence (e.g., the number of rapid rehousing or permanent supportive housing units). The total unmet need estimate is based on the backlog of households that the system has been unable to serve over the last five years (the timeframe these data are based on is 2016-2021). Each year, the number of people not housed adds to the number unhoused from the previous year, even if the system is using its housing availability to full capacity.

Currently, within the homeless system of care, 3,621 people and families flow into the homeless system of care each year, while just 3,444 move out of the system, leaving an excess demand of at least 180 people and families each year. This means there is a growing wait list for housing and services that the system cannot fill. When the yearly amount is multiplied to account for the last 20 years, this leaves a total of 3,621 persons. To have an “unmet need of zero,” the system would need to find a way to increase the number of households exiting the system each year so that outflow rates are greater than inflow rates, and the system would need to do this until the unmet need is down to zero and the system is then able to balance its annual inflow and outflow.

The 2024 BKRHC Strategic Plan also describes the length of time someone experiences homelessness.

Length of time homeless is calculated from the time someone first enters the homeless system of care until their first move-in date to permanent housing. This helps us understand how long it takes someone to gain housing, which is an important metric for improvement in how the system of care is operating.

Key points related to length of time homeless:
● The average veteran takes longer to exit to permanent destinations but moves into housing more quickly than other populations. This means that the system is doing well at getting veterans into housing, but that they are taking longer to exit the system into permanent housing of their own, outside of the system’s resources.
● Elderly adult-only households take less time to exit to a permanent destination and to move into housing than younger adult-only households.
● Those who are chronically homeless take longer to move into housing and exit to permanent destinations.
● Those who have a history of unsheltered homelessness take longer to exit the system of care to a permanent destination than those without such history. While this is a complex issue, two factors stand out as important to understand.
○ Those with unsheltered histories are also higher acuity, meaning they have more needs for support and/or need a higher level of support than others. ○ Higher acuity clients are likely to be the ones who return to homelessness and may be a portion of those returning to unsheltered homelessness. This means that the proportion of those who are unsheltered (or have an unsheltered history) with high levels of acuity may be increasing over time.
55 The table below shows the length of time from first entry (after 1/1/2016) until first move-in date by family type. These data show that adult-only households are spending longer times homeless (and in the system of care) than family (adult and child) and youth (transition age youth) households.

Table NA-40.3: Length of Time Homeless by Household Type Source: Kern County Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness, 2024.

In addition to the above information, certain subpopulations have a longer than average length of time homeless (averages below):
● Veteran: 257.59 days
● Elderly (65+): 280.53 days
● Chronically homeless: 401.67 days
● Unsheltered history: 308.49 days
The reason adult-only households experience homelessness for a longer period of time than other households could be because they are more likely to be chronically homeless and/or to have a history of unsheltered homelessness, both of which can contribute to higher levels of acuity, and thus a need for higher level care and supports – which are limited resources in the system, and which a household may thus have to wait a while to receive.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans.

According to the 2024 PIT count, there are 85 homeless households with children. Of that number, 80% are sheltered in the city, while 20% are unsheltered. Overall, families with children accounted for just over 8% of the total homeless population in Bakersfield. A total of 134 unaccompanied children were homeless, of that number 99% are sheltered and 1% are unsheltered. Many of these families utilized the County’s emergency shelters, transitional housing shelters, and bridge housing, but by the number of unsheltered families it is clear more assistance is needed. In comparison, only 38% of the overall homeless population are sheltered.

Veterans accounted for 3.5% (93 individuals) of the homeless population in Kern County, 53% whom went unsheltered. There is no additional data on Veteran family homelessness.

Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.

As shown in Table NA-40.5 above, 55% of homeless individuals in the area were white. Black/African American was the next largest racial group, with 44% of individuals. Neither race is proportionally represented compared to their share of Bakersfield’s overall population. Whites comprise 69% of the City’s population and Black/African Americans comprise 8%. Less than one percent of individuals identified as American Indian/Alaska Natives and both Asian and Pacific Islander populations comprised one percent of the homeless population.

The Census Bureau defines Hispanic as an ethnicity that people of any race can identify with. As such, the distribution of Hispanics and non-Hispanics within the homeless population does not align with the racial distribution. Among the homeless population, 77% identify as non-Hispanic and 23% identify as Hispanic.
58 Figure NA-40.3: Race and Ethnicity of Persons Experiencing Homelessness Source: Kern County Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness, 2024.

The 2024 BKRHC Strategic Plan provides the chart above. The chart compares the percentage of people of various racial and ethnic backgrounds served by the Kern County homeless system of care during the 2021-22 reporting period to the percentage of people of those same backgrounds in Kern County as a whole. It shows that Black individuals are significantly over-represented in the homeless system of care.

This disproportionality is a by-product of systemic inequity: the lingering effects of racism that continue to perpetuate disparities in critical areas that impact rates of homelessness, including poverty rates, housing segregation and discrimination, incarceration rates, and access to health care.

Figure NA-40.3 above also shows that Asian and Hispanic or Latino/a/x individuals are significantly underrepresented in the homeless system of care. This may be a sign that Asian and Hispanic or Latino/a/x individuals in Kern County experience homelessness at much lower rates than would be expected based on demographic data. Another possibility is that there are cultural or other barriers limiting Asian and Hispanic or Latino/a/x individual’s access to the homeless system of care, which makes their numbers appear artificially low in available data. This suggests a need to improve cultural competency and outreach strategies among staff serving people experiencing homelessness. 59 Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.

Sheltered. The majority of the CoC’s sheltered individuals reside within Metro Bakersfield according to the 2024 PIT (969 individuals vs. 37 individuals). This can be attributed in part to Bakersfield having most of the County’s temporary housing facilities, which include emergency shelters and transitional and bridge housing. Overall, sheltered homeless comprised 38% of the County’s total homeless population and 42% of Metro Bakersfield’s homeless population. These numbers increased by 7% since 2023, in part because the City had expanded the availability of shelter beds by 400, meaning more people were counted in shelters rather than on the street.

Unsheltered. Out of the 2,293 homeless individuals in Metro Bakersfield, 1,324 were unsheltered or 58%. As compared to the Countywide PIT, the City of Bakersfield is experiencing a lower number of unsheltered persons, the Countywide total was 1,663 individuals or 62% of the homeless population.

The Metro Bakersfield area saw a 55% increase in the 2024 unsheltered homelessness count as compared to the 2023 PIT (853 individuals to 1,324). Most unsheltered homeless households were individual adults; only 59 were adults with children and 116 children based on 2024 PIT. Many factors contribute to the large proportion of unsheltered individual adults, such as limited shelter space and a lack of social supports to which families often have access, as well the reduction funds available to the community when the COVID-19 one-time funding ended.
60 Discussion:

Both the HMIS data and the PIT Count data show similar patterns. The number of people in Kern County experiencing homelessness has increased significantly in recent years, as has the number of households served by the homeless system of care. Moreover, the PIT Count data shows a sharp increase in the number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness, particularly in 2021. 61 NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction:

Certain segments of the population face conditions that make it difficult for them to access affordable housing. Physical or medical conditions, accessibility requirements and the need for supportive services, limited incomes, and many other factors often impede a household’s ability to obtain decent and affordable housing.

The following section addresses the special housing and service needs of specific populations, which include:
• Persons living with AIDS/HIV and their families
• Persons with disabilities
• Elderly
• Veteran households
• Female-headed households
• Large households
• Food insecure households
For persons living with HIV/AIDS, housing is consistently ranked as one of unmet needs throughout California. While the reported rate of persons living with HIV in 2021 was about 1.5 times less in Kern County compared to other California residents, the County has seen a 25% increase in the rate of individuals living with HIV since 2017. This is 12 times higher than the state increase of 2%. According to the California Public Health Department, Center for Infectious Diseases, 2,178 persons living with diagnosed HIV infection in Kern County as of May 3, 2022. For many, the persistent shortage of stable housing can be the primary barrier to consistent medical care and treatment. In addition, persons with HIV/AIDS may be targets of hate crimes. Despite federal and state anti-discrimination laws, many people face illegal evictions from their homes when their illness is exposed. The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, which is primarily enforced by HUD, prohibits housing discrimination against persons with disabilities, including persons with HIV/AIDS. Housing costs in Kern County are generally lower than other major markets in California, but people living with HIV/AIDS in Bakersfield still encounter difficulties affording a home suitable for their needs. People living with HIV/AIDS often have incomes well below the median and experience significant healthcare costs related to their medical condition. 62 HOPWA

Persons with HIV/AIDS and their families face significant challenges. According to the 2021 California HIV Surveillance Report, there are 2,178 cases of persons living with a diagnosed HIV infection. Of these cases, less than 1% are ages 13 or younger, 4% are ages 13-19, 32% are ages 20-29, 34% are ages 30-39, 19% are 40-49, 8% are ages 50-59, and 3% are 60 years or older according to the data presented at the Kern County Provider HIV Symposium in 2024. Additionally, 87% of HIV/AIDS cases are male, 11% are female, and 1% identify as transgender. Persons with HIV/AIDS face an array of barriers to obtaining and maintaining affordable and decent housing, which is as essential to their general health and well-being as access to quality and affordable healthcare. For many, the persistent shortage of stable housing can be the primary barrier to accessing consistent medical care and treatment. In addition, persons with 63 HIV/AIDS may be targets of hate crimes and discrimination, including illegal eviction from their homes when their landlords are aware of their illness, despite the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 prohibiting such housing discrimination against persons with disabilities, including persons with HIV/AIDS.

Persons with mental, physical, and developmental disabilities. Physical, mental, and developmental disabilities may present challenges to gaining employment, mobility, or independent living. Persons with disabilities may experience housing burdens and other challenges due to limited income and/or accessibility needs. Persons with extreme disabilities may require housing in a supportive or institutional setting. Housing needs for persons with disabilities depends on the severity of the disability(ies). For persons with disabilities who live independently or with other family members, independent living can be supported with special housing features, financial support, and in-home supportive services.

Housing for persons with disabilities must be adapted to meet individual needs. Various types of housing may be inaccessible to persons with mobility or sensory limitations. Housing may need to be adapted to accommodate widened doorways and hallways, access ramps, larger bathrooms, lowered countertops, and other features necessary for accessibility, and many housing types may not have suitable space for such adaptations. Location of housing is also an important factor for persons with mobility restrictions who rely on public transportation for travel.

Table NA-45.3 displays persons with disabilities in Bakersfield by age group. According to the 2016-2020 ACS, a total of 40,024 residents in Bakersfield have at least one disability, approximately 10.6% of the total population. Adults 65 years and older have the highest rates of disabilities, with 16.6% of the population having one disability and an additional 21.9% with two disabilities. These rates are similar to the tri-county area and slightly higher than the California average. 64 Table NA-45.4: Population with a Disability by Age
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2016-2020 (5-year Estimates), Table C18108 Elderly/Frail elderly. According to 2018-2022 ACS data, Bakersfield had 42,290 people who were aged 65 or older, forming 10.5% of the population, an increase of 2% from the last ConPlan. Some of this group’s special needs derive from physical limitations and fixed incomes. Approximately 14% of people aged 65 and older have incomes below the poverty level. Of those who identify as grandparents, a total of 11,444 individuals, 27.4% are responsible for the care of their grandchildren, straining limited financial resources. During the community engagement process, elderly residents submitted several comments to the City addressing these issues, including a need for better public transportation, increased healthy food needs, more services for seniors, and affordable housing for seniors.

Bakersfield senior population have a higher share of lower income levels as compared to California as a whole, with more seniors earning less than $30,000 per year and fewer seniors with an annual income of $100,000 or more.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2016-2020 (5-year Estimates), Table B19037 Veterans. About five percent of the City’s population is comprised of veterans. However, veterans represent 3% of the overall homeless population, according to the 2024 Point-in-Time count. This is a 7% reduction from the 2019 PIT, showing an increase in community support for veterans. Low socioeconomic status, mental health disorders, and/or a history of substance abuse all can contribute to homelessness. Moreover, veterans are more likely to experience traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), both of which have been found to be among the most substantial risk factors for homelessness. Finally, veterans face the same shortage of affordable housing options as all resident of Bakersfield do. Even if the veteran cohort has better socioeconomic indicators than the general public, individual households can still struggle making ends meet.

Veterans are also underrepresented in the population seeking preventative health services such as flu vaccines, immunizations, and cancer screenings. Bakersfield Memorial Hospital reports that veterans are being undeserved in this regard. The reasons for this are many: preventative services are not necessarily marketed well; people typically seek medical care in a reactive, rather than a proactive, manner; the insurance system can be difficult to navigate; and while routine check-ups with a primary care doctor are often free or low-cost, follow-up care with specialists can be expensive.

Female-headed households. Bakersfield has 31,810 female-headed households, which make up about

25.5% of all households in the City according to 2018-2022 ACS data. Female-headed households are more likely to be low-income, which introduces a host of housing and financial problems such as housing cost burden and risk of homelessness. The Report on the Status of Women and Girls in Kern County 2020 found 39% of female-headed households live in poverty. Many factors lead to femaleheaded households earning less than other households, but most prominent are gender discrimination in pay and benefits; lack of access to affordable health and childcare; and occupational segregation.

Studies have shown that female-headed households are more likely to be affected by poverty and housing discrimination than male-headed households.

Large households. Large households are defined by HUD as households having five or more persons.

These households face housing needs that other household types do not, as they require units with larger living space, such as a minimum of three bedrooms to avoid overcrowding. 66 Large households are more likely to be low-income – more than half of large households earn less than the AMI – which can make these households more likely to experience housing problems. Large housing units are naturally more expensive, so large LMI households are often presented with either taking on a cost burden or overcrowding in smaller housing units.

In Bakersfield, most residents living together are in family households as opposed to nonfamily households. As shown in Table NA-45.5, 21,065 households, or 17.8% of total households, are considered large households. Almost all large households are family households. Comparatively, 18.2% of households in Kern County are considered large households, 20.5% in the tri-county area, and 14.5% in California.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2016-2020 (5-year Estimates), Table B11016 Food insecure households. The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines food insecurity as a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. According to Feeding Kern County, in 2021 13% of adults were food insecure, as compared to 10.5% in California and 10.2% nationwide. In 2022, 22% of Kern County children (57,700 individuals) were food insecure according to Feeding America.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, more food was made available through a greater number of sources than ever before. With the end of many emergency food programs in February 2023, agencies in Kern County found themselves inundated with people in need of food. Bakersfield was designated as “America’s hungriest city” in 20129
Food insecurity is undoubtedly a function of low socioeconomic status, but there are other factors that contribute to it, such as rising cost-of-living that outpaced wage growth. Of course, households must be classified as low-income to receive food stamps/SNAP or free/reduced lunch, but in 2022 approximately 24% of children in Kern County are a part of food insecure households that earn greater than 185% of the federal poverty level, thus making them ineligible for federal nutrition assistance.

What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?

Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:

As discussed above, the Bakersfield Memorial Hospital reports there are 2,178 living cases of HIV.

Persons with HIV/AIDS face an array of barriers to obtaining and maintaining affordable and decent housing, which is as essential to their general health and well-being as access to quality and affordable healthcare.

If the PJ will establish a preference for a HOME TBRA activity for persons with a specific category of disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness), describe their unmet need for housing and services needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons.

68 NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs – 91.215 (f) Central to the City’s community and economic development goals is the Economic Opportunity Area (EOA) Plan adopted in September 2024. The EOP Plan uses tax increment financing to promote economic growth within specific geographic areas. The EOA Plan focuses on the following investment priorities:
• Keeping public areas safe and clean
• Addressing the fiscal stability of the City
• Creating jobs through economic development, business retention/attraction and workforce development
• Enhancing amenities throughout the community to improve quality of life and attract visitors Seven EOAs have been identified, based on the need for supplemental economic development activities:
• Downtown Bakersfield EOA
• South SR 58/Bakersfield Airport EOA
• SR 99 Corridor EOA
• 34th Street Corridor EOA
• East Hills EOA
• Old Town Kern EOA
• Southeast EOA
Figure NA-50.1: Economic Opportunity Area (EOA) Plan Map 69 These EOAs, color coded in Figure NA-50.1 above, closely correlate with the City’s CDBG-eligible census tracts. Eligible projects may qualify for site improvement/rehabilitation grants, business relocation and expansion grants, development assistance, and small business loans.

The EOA Plan is designed to supplement existing City programs such as the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP addresses projects that support Bakersfield’s infrastructure over a considerable period of time and has a monetary value greater than $20,000. In FY 2024, the City has budgeted $93 million to the CIP and addresses many of the needs identified in the ConPlan community engagement process, including those within the public facilities and public improvement categories discussed in the following sections.

Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities:

The jurisdictions’ needs for public facilities include, but are not limited to, the following areas noted by participants in community meetings and surveys:
• Community centers
• Homeless Shelters
• Youth centers
• Centers for the disabled
• Centers for senior citizens
• Parks and recreation
Parks and recreation improvements are a focus of the CIP and City’s Department of Recreation and Parks.

How were these needs determined?
The City’s Public Works department maintains a list of priority project in the City, including CDBG-eligible infrastructure projects, through its Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

Supplementing this list was feedback through the community participation process.

Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements:

The jurisdictions’ needs for public improvements include, but are not limited to:
• Streets/Road Improvements
• Streetlighting
• Sidewalk Improvements
• Tree Planting and Urban Greenery
• Water/Sewage Improvements
70 • Broadband Internet Access
• Accessibility Improvements
• Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Both through the community needs survey and in community workshops, residents expressed their desire to see improvements to streets, sidewalks, and streetlighting. In fact, street improvements were the top infrastructure concern of residents. Through the CIP, the City funds these and other public improvements. In FY 2024, $12.45 million is going toward local street, pedestrian and bicycle updates.

Highlighted projects are:
• Pavement rehabilitation projects on South H Street and University Avenue • Kentucky Street Urban Greening Grant Project
• Three areas receiving CDBG funding for curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements • Streetlight Improvements
• Animal Care Shelter Expansion
• Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
How were these needs determined?
The City’s Public Works department maintains a list of priority project in the City, including CDBG-eligible infrastructure projects, through its Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Supplementing this list was feedback through the community participation process.

Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services:
• Mental Health Services
• Youth Activities
• Fair Housing
• Childcare Services
• Public Transportation
• Health Services
• Food Banks
• Senior Activities
• Substance Use Services
Mental Health services were among the top needs identified by community members during the community engagement process. Youth activities, childcare, transportation services, and health services were also of top concern to residents.

Public health and health services are a major focus in Kern County and Bakersfield. In its 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment, the Bakersfield Memorial Hospital reports an overall health insurance coverage rate of 91.9% for its service area, which includes nearly all of Bakersfield and parts of the cities of Lake Isabella, Taft and Tehachapi. This insurance coverage rate is lower than both Kern County’s and California’s.
71 The rate of health insurance coverage in some zip codes is much lower than the area average.

Bakersfield’s 93307 zip code, for example, has a coverage rate of just 87.1%. The 93307-zip code correlates with census tracts that are comprised predominately of LMI households. Lower income households struggle to attain health insurance coverage for many reasons, including high cost of insurance, poor access to quality and low-cost health facilities, and eligibility requirements for certain health insurance programs.10
How were these needs determined?
These needs were determined through interviews with community stakeholders and surveys with community residents to obtain input on health needs, barriers to care and resources available to address the identified health needs. In addition, data were collected from local, county and state sources to present community demographics, social determinants of health, health care access, birth indicators, leading causes of death, COVID-19, acute and chronic disease, health behaviors, mental health, substance use and misuse and preventive practices. Where available, these data are presented in the context of Kern County and California, framing the scope of an issue as it relates to the broader community.
10 Kimberly Amadeo, “Health Care Inequality in America,” The Balance, June 25, 2019. 72 Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:

In conjunction with the Needs Assessment, the Market Analysis provides the basis for the Strategic Plan and the programs and projects to be funded by federal entitlements. Most of the data tables in this section are populated with standard Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data developed by the Census Bureau for HUD based on 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS) data.

Other sources are noted throughout the Plan.

While the 2016-2020 ACS and CHAS are the most recent comprehensive dataset available during the development of this ConPlan, other statistics suggest Bakersfield’s housing market has undergone a significant shift since 2000. Booming growth has brought new prosperity and an influx of new residents to Bakersfield, but it has also brought an increase in homelessness and a need to develop new homes and infrastructure to accommodate both demographic and economic expansion.

For example, the population increase from the 2000 census to 2020 was 63%. In other words, in 20 years, Bakersfield added the equivalent of more than half its population. Further, current estimates indicate that the population has grown an addition 2% since 2020.

This has clearly put upward pressure on housing costs. Table MA-15.1 shows median home value 30% higher than it was in the base year, 2009. Similarly, rents have increased in that same period, though not as steeply.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs.

The California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) which operates under the State Treasurer’s office provides information for all multifamily housing using Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTCs), which 74 are the federal government’s primary mechanism for funding affordable housing construction. TCAC reports there are about 5,000 housing units in Bakersfield that have used LIHTCs. Approximately 99% of these units are reserved for households earning less than 80% AMI, with many targeted to 60% or less.

Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.

The California Housing Partnership Corporation (CHPC) tracks the number of subsidized affordable housing units in throughout the State and maintains four definitions for units at-risk of being lost from the affordable housing inventory:
● Low risk: Affordable homes that are at-risk of converting to market rate with at least ten years of affordability restrictions or are owned by a large, stable, non-profit. ● Moderate risk: Affordable homes that are at-risk of converting to market rate with at least five years of affordability restrictions that (i) do not have an overlapping federal or state subsidy that would extend affordability beyond ten years, (ii) or has affordability restrictions that can be terminated through owner action in the next 5 - 10 years, and are not owned by a large, stable, non-profit.
● High risk: affordable homes that are at-risk of converting to market rate with at least a year of affordability restrictions that (i) do not have an overlapping federal or state subsidy that would extend affordability beyond five years, (ii) or has affordability restrictions that can be terminated through owner action in the next 1 - 5 years, and (iii) are not owned by a large, stable, nonprofit. ● Very-High risk: affordable homes that are at-risk of converting to market rate that (i) do not have an overlapping federal or state subsidy that would extend affordability past a year, (ii) or has affordability restrictions that can be terminated through owner action within the next year, and (iii) are not owned by a large, stable, non-profit.

During the 2023-2033 period of the Housing Element, 395 units residential units at multiple properties across the city are considered “high risk or very-high risk” of being lost to the supply of the affordable housing in the City of Bakersfield. Prior to the expiration date of these deed restricted units, the City will work with the property owner to confirm that the tenants are properly notified of their rights under AB 1521 (2017, Bloom). Further, the City will engage property owners with expiring covenants three years prior to their expiration to inform them about local, state, and federal funding sources to support the properties continued operation as affordable housing. Those with expired covenants that continue to operate at affordable rents will be asked to submit annual information to verify rent levels are affordable to ensure the city does not lose those units as affordable housing.

Different options may be used to preserve or replace the units though they may be infeasible given that the units are located in a larger non-regulated property. These include preservation (Acquisition/ Rehabilitation) -- if a property is 100% deed restricted affordable housing with an expiring regulatory agreement, transferring ownership of the at-risk project to another entity whose mission is to provide 75 affordable housing, such as a non-profit housing provider, the local housing authority, or a private developer who intends to develop affordable housing, is one of the least costly ways to ensure that the at-risk units remain affordable for the long term. By transferring property ownership one of the abovementioned organizations, low-income restrictions can be secured, and the project would become potentially eligible for additional financing sources to continue the properties operation as deedrestricted affordable housing. Another option to preserve the affordability of this at-risk project is to support a Joint Power Authorities purchase of the property. If this option is exercised, it would require deed restrictions for 100% of the residential units but also allows for bond financing that would allow the owner to maintain the project as affordable housing.

Construction of Replacement Units -- To understand the significance if these at-risk units are lost from the supply of city affordable housing, the City has prepared a hypothetical analysis that identifies the cost of construction of new regulated housing to replace these at-risk units if they are converted to market-rate units. The cost of developing housing depends upon a variety of factors, including density, size of the units (i.e., square footage and number of bedrooms), location, land costs, and type of construction. In evaluation of the City of Bakersfield’s recent housing productivity, the average cost to build is approximately $237,595 per unit. This accounts for the 156 units of affordable housing the City of Bakersfield completed within the past 18 months. Cumulatively, these projects cost approximately $37.06 million to construct, with the City contributing a total of $7.02 million to the projects. The cost to replace the 395 at-risk units would be approximately $93.8 million.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? As delineated in Table NA-25.1, a total of 41,765 households, representing 36% of all households in the City, spend at least 30% of their income on housing, which meets HUD’s threshold for housing cost burden. More than three-quarters of all housing-cost-burdened households in the City are lower income (earning zero to 80% AMI). Thus, increasing the supply of affordable housing for lower income households is a high priority goal.

The need is further substantiated by the waiting list maintained by the Housing Authority for its Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, which provides rental subsidies to low-income families that spend more than 30% of their gross income on housing costs. As of August 2024, the Housing Choice Voucher waiting list had 11,513 applicants, an increase of 55% since the last ConPlan.

The Kern Council of Governments, through the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process, allocated 37,461 housing units to the City of Bakersfield for the 2023-2031 period. RHNA delineates the number of new homes a jurisdiction must plan for based on expected population growth, income distribution, and other factors. It does not, however, require a jurisdiction to ensure those units are built. Therefore, Bakersfield must accommodate 37,461 housing opportunities through its zoning 77 ordinance. Of these, Bakersfield must accommodate at least 18,211 ELI, VLI and LI households during the eight-year planning period. According to California’s Department of Housing and Community Development 2024 income limits, that means almost half of new housing construction in the City should be affordable to households of four persons earning $70,300 or less.

Describe the need for specific types of housing:

As described above, the City has a pronounced need for rental housing affordable to households earning 0 to 50% of AMI (those qualifying as extremely low- and very low-income). Many renter households in these categories experience severe cost burden, as NA-10 shows. This need is derived in part from the insufficient housing production during the City’s previous RHNA cycle, as well as the ongoing crisis in housing costs, which have skyrocketed.

Discussion
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.

As noted above, CHPC gives a risk rating to about 8,300 housing units in Bakersfield that are subsidized by federal and State programs and are affordable to lower-income households. Just 4%, or 367 units, are greater than a low risk, but that is still a significant number of affordable units. Below is a summary of affordable housing units, by primary subsidy source, that are, high, or very high risk.

HUD. Nine properties funded by HUD represent 302 affordable units in Bakersfield. Of these, 278 at three properties are at high risk of losing their affordability restrictions. NSP. One property (Pinewood Glen) funded through the Neighborhood Revitalization Program, with 99 units, is at a high risk for conversion to market rate. At this time, the owner has no plans to extend deed restrictions, however, consistent with the owner’s mission, the property will continue to operate at affordable rents. 78 MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? According to the limited data available, there is not enough housing for low-income households in Bakersfield. According to CHAS data from HUD, there were 15,165 households making 30% AMI or less, but only 1,775 units affordable to a household at the 30% level. For the 13,250 households earning 30- 50% AMI, there are just 8,160 affordable housing units. However, these affordable units are not necessarily occupied by the extremely low- and very low-income households that need them to avoid housing cost burden. Therefore, it is likely that the supply of housing affordable for low-income households is even more constrained than what the data indicate.

How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
Housing affordability is affected by many factors, many of which are difficult to predict or plan for.

However, many indicators suggest housing may not become more affordable in the coming years without an economic downturn or substantial investments in affordable housing.

Construction and labor costs also affect housing affordability. The Terner Center for Housing Innovation found construction costs between 2011 and 2016 increased more in California than they did nationwide, which contributed to a decline in residential housing construction. In 2017 alone, construction costs for single-family and multifamily homes increased 5.6% and 6.3%, respectively. Labor costs were up 2.6% in 2017. Both construction and labor costs increase outpaced inflation. In addition, the provisions of the 2021 Build America Buy America program potentially increases the cost to construct housing. The BABA Act requires that all iron, steel, manufactured products and construction materials used in certain infrastructure projects are produces in the US.
80 These and other factors – such as zoning ordinances that prohibit certain housing types, like apartments and duplexes, that are typically more affordable – have contributed to the State’s historic underproduction of housing units. According to the State’s Department of Housing and Community Development, California needs to produce at least 180,000 new housing units to keep pace with population growth but has averaged just 80,000 units since 2008. This underproduction is central to California’s high housing costs.

How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? Table MA-15.4 above illustrates the HUD Fair Market Rent (FMR) and High and Low HOME Rent. These rents are the limits that can be charged by property owners with units assisted by HUD rental housing programs. The FMR and HOME rents are lower than the market-rate rents for comparable units. As of October 2024, Zillow calculates the median rent as $1,875, and RentCafé reports an average rent of $1,511.11 In order to afford these rents, a household would need an income of $75,000 and $60,440, respectively.

A single-person household earning 30% of AMI results in a yearly income of $18,450. To avoid a housing cost burden, that household should spend no more than $461 on housing costs per month, but that rent level is a quarter of the median rent calculated by Zillow and does not meet the Low HOME Rent.

Exacerbating this is a dearth of affordable and accessible units, as discussed previously. In other words, households that are most in need of affordable housing, as it is defined by HUD, are least likely to access it.

While Bakersfield has done relatively well in advancing toward its new housing goals, almost two-thirds of the City’s housing stock was built prior to 2000. An aging housing stock may present many quality-oflife issues, eventually leading residents living in substandard and inadequate housing facilities.

Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation":

The U.S. Census Bureau’s ACS defines a “selected condition” as one of the following four types of housing problems:
1) Lacks complete plumbing facilities;
2) Lacks complete kitchen facilities
3) More than one person per room; and
4) Cost burden greater than 30%.

These conditions are similar as the four housing problems discussed in the Needs Assessment. Table MA-20.1 calculates the total number of owner- and renter-occupied units exhibiting different numbers of selected conditions, as well as the percentage of all units falling into each of these categories.

Table MA-20.1: Condition of Units

Based on these categories, more than one-half (60%) of all households have none of the selected conditions, while 40% have either one or two conditions. However, renter households are more likely to experience selected housing conditions: 55% of all renter-occupied households have at least one condition, compared to just 30% of owner-occupied households. 83 According to the 2023-2031 Housing Element, housing units are considered substandard if they lack complete plumbing or kitchen facilities. There are an estimated total of 1,699 substandard housing units in Bakersfield, approximately one percent of total housing units. The most prevalent housing issue in the city was rental units lacking compete kitchen facilities, with a total of 1,143 units, or 1% of rental units without complete kitchen facilities. Renter occupied units have higher rates of units lacking complete facilities when compared to owner occupied rates. Based on 2016-2020 ACS data, Bakersfield’s substandard housing rates are consistent with those of Kern County and the state.

Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards
The age of housing units is the key variable for estimating the number of units with LBP hazards. It is estimated that nationally, three-quarters of all residential properties built in 1978 or earlier may contain LBP, with older properties having the highest likelihood of containing LBP. Local data have confirmed that the percentage of units containing LBP increases with the age of the structure.

According to 2016-20205 ACS data, there were a total of 80,860 units built prior to 1980. If 75% of these properties can be assumed to have LBP, the number of units with LBP is estimated to be 40,430.

According to the Needs Assessment, approximately 50% of all households in the City were low- to moderate-income. If this percentage holds true for the estimated 40,430 units with LBP, the number of lower-income households potentially exposed to LBP hazards is estimated to be 20,215, assuming the LMI population is uniformly distributed in the housing stock). This means approximately 34% of all LMI households are at risk of LBP exposure.

The Kern County Department of Health maps areas of the County that show potential risks for LBP. The following map illustrates those areas of Bakersfield in which 25% or more of the units are older than 1978.

84 Discussion
Although there is no specific information on the habitability of vacant units in Bakersfield, the Housing Element notes that vacancy rates are important because they indicate the degree of choice available. A vacancy rate that is too high can make it difficult for owners trying to sell or rent. Low vacancy rates usually indicate high demand and/or low supply conditions in the housing market. A vacancy rate that is too low can force prices up, making it more difficult for lower and moderate-income households to find housing. Vacancy rates between 2% and 3% for single-family housing and between 5% and 6% for multifamily housing are usually considered optimal for a healthy housing market. According to the California Department of Finance, Bakersfield had an overall vacancy rate of 6.1% as of January 2021, compared to a 6.7% vacancy rate statewide. According to ACS estimates, the homeowner vacancy rate in Bakersfield in 2021 was 0.8% and the rental vacancy rate was 3.6%. This is a decrease in vacancy rates from 2016, when the homeowner vacancy rate was 1.2%, and the rental vacancy rate was 4%. Vacant units by type are shown below. In 2020, an estimated total of 6,575 units remained vacant, compared to 8,939 in 2010. A large percentage of vacant units are categorized as “other vacant,” which are units that are vacant for reasons that do not fit into any of the above categories. In 2020, approximately 11% of vacant units were categorized as for sale only, representing an increase of approximately 5% since 2010.

UWKC serves as the Collaborative Applicant and Fiscal Sponsor of the Kern County Homeless Collaborative.

Women’s Center –
High Desert, Inc.
(WCHD)
Provides 24-hour crisis intervention, emergency shelter, and supportive services for domestic violence victims and their families.

Further, supportive services include other non-CoC services in the community that the CoC connects clients to, such as food benefits, healthcare, job training and income, and other health and human services connections. For a listing of supportive services providers in Kern County and the services they offer, please see https://bkrhc.org/find-help/. Within the CoC’s 2024 Strategic Plan, the community identified a need for additional supportive services in the community, including:
(1) Increased capacity for mental, behavioral, and physical healthcare services; (2) Increased capacity for crisis response in the community; and (3) Increased availability of supportive services that lead to self-sufficiency through coordination of social agencies across the CoC.

These needs were also reflected within the Consolidated Plan’s community engagement process, including the Community Needs Survey, Focus Groups, and Community Meetings.

List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations.

The CoC oversees multiple programs designed to service those experiencing homelessness and receives approximately $6.8 million in HUD CoC program funds annually. Federal policy and best practices indicate that homeless services should be grounded in Housing First, quickly and successfully connecting individuals and families experiencing homelessness to permanent housing without any preconditions and barriers to entry such as required service requirements.12 12 https://endhomelessness.org/resource/housing-first/
92 The region is committed to ending veteran and chronic homelessness by ensuring episodes of homelessness are rare, brief, and non-recurring. To address chronic and veteran homelessness, the CoC is a part of Built for Zero, a national initiative dedicated to reviewing data and identifying systems improvements. The community reached Functional Zero for Chronic Homelessness in March of 2020.

Functional zero is defined when three or fewer people are experiencing chronic homelessness (or 0.1% of the community’s most recent total homelessness individual point-in-time count, whichever is greater).13
Due to the passage of the Public Safety & Vital Services Measure (PSVS), also known as Measure N, and substantial state and federal investments to end homelessness, the Bakersfield City Council was able to make significant investments towards the region’s homeless service landscape. This includes:
● City’s 150-bed Brundage Lane Navigation Center. Facility operated by Mercy House opened in October 2020.
● Expansion of the Open Door Network. 70 new beds were added in 2021. ● Expansion of the Mission at Kern County. 40 new beds were added in 2020. ● 118-bed Expansion of the City's Brundage Lane Navigation Center. Expansion opened in April 2023, includes a recuperative care dorm, new men's dorm, 50-space kennel, and expanded client parking lot.
● 50-bed expansion of the Brundage Lane Navigation Center bringing the total bed count at the shelter to 318.

Chronically Homeless
Those who were chronically homeless are connected to appropriate permanent supportive housing (PSH) resources, which includes intensive case management and housing. There is often a long-term subsidy connected, such as a voucher, and supportive services.

Family Homelessness
The Bakersfield Homeless Center is the region’s largest family shelter. It has 252 beds for single men, single women, and families with children. Additionally, the Open Door Network is opening a new campus in 2027 to serve women, children, and single fathers, which will increase bed capacity by at least 100 beds. Case management and housing navigation are offered to clients with the purpose of helping clients obtain housing and coordinating services to provide people with the resources needed to remain stably housed. Families are connected to a housing subsidy based on their unique needs, ranging from rapid rehousing (short-term rental assistance and case management) to PSH. The Open Door Network provides supportive services, emergency shelter, and transitional housing to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and child abuse/neglect. Services include housing navigation, rapid rehousing, individual and group therapy, and trauma-informed case management to assist victims in their healing journey and ensure they are safe and stable. The Open Door Network operates 3 13 https://login.builtforzero.org/case-studies/bakersfield-and-kern-county-california-functional-zero-case-study/ 93 confidentially-located domestic violence shelters in Kern County: Bakersfield (32 beds), Delano (24 beds), and Arvin (16 beds).

Veteran Homelessness
There is currently one designated outreach worker to provide services to veterans experiencing homelessness. Veterans who are considered chronically homeless can access Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers to receive a permanent housing subsidy from the Public Housing Authority, as well as case management assistance from social workers within the US Department of Veteran Affairs. The California Veterans Assistance Foundation operates the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) within Kern County, which providers Veterans who are experiencing or at-risk of homelessness with rapid rehousing assistance, as well as short-term financial assistance.

Unaccompanied Youth Homelessness
There are limited resources available to unaccompanied youth. This is in part due to the challenge in locating unaccompanied minors, which may require a dedicated outreach team in the future. The CoC has a Youth Action Board (YAB) which is comprised of 10 members, ranging in ages from 17 to 25 years old, who have lived experience of homelessness. The YAB provides recommendations for policy and changes to the CoC, local leaders, and organizations that serve youth experiencing homelessness. The CoC has also created and updated a Youth Resource Guide for homeless youth to utilize. Youth experiencing homelessness can receive emergency shelter at the Brundage Lane Navigation Center via referral from law enforcement or Flood Bakersfield Ministries. The Open Door Network and the Mission at Kern County provides emergency shelter for youth ages 18 or older. Additionally, the CoC was recently awarded $5.2 million in funds through HUD’s Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP), which was a collaborative effort of local agencies to address youth homelessness and enhance critical resources for vulnerable populations. This includes expanding low-barrier shelters that provide safe, non-congregate housing environments tailored to youth. YHDP will also add beds, leasing apartments, hiring case managers for youth support, and launching a flexible cash assistance program to address the urgent needs of youth (e.g., security deposits, emergency repairs, or other barriers that can lead to homelessness).

Supportive housing for the elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with addictions, and those living with HIV/AIDS are designed to allow the individuals to live as independently as possible. Those suffering from substance abuse might require counseling or case management, with a shorter-term rehabilitation.

Other more challenging/on-going conditions might require supportive services that include long-term assisted living, as well as transportation and nursing care. Persons living with disabilities (either mental or physical) may require affordable housing with flexible supportive services to help them access and maintain housing and community supports to live independent and dignified lives. These vulnerable populations are more likely to experience housing instability and/or homelessness given their challenges to increase income and potential service needs. Those with intellectual and development disabilities require additional resources towards supportive housing, including housing set aside for people with these disabilities.

Older adults have unique supportive housing needs as compared to the general population. According to the best practices recommended by the Corporation for Supportive Housing, older adults need permanent supportive housing that will promote aging-in-place. Supportive housing for older adults must recognize that older adults are progressing toward increasing physical limitations and increasing dependency.

Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
95 The County’s Behavioral Health & Recovery Services team operates an Adult Systems of Care which has geographically located services that offer a range of behavioral health services, such as medication, counseling, recovery services, resources, and diagnosis. They also offer Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) and Strengths-Based Case Management (SBCM) in treating its clients. ACT program services include mental health and substance use assessment and treatment, intensive case management, emergency assistance with food and clothing, individual goal planning, independent living skills development, and employment services. SBCM program services include mental health and substance use assessment, medication, group and/or individual counseling, family counseling, crisis prevention and intervention, rehabilitation, community integration, and linkage/consultation/placement services.

For services within individualized populations, the County offers the following services:

Small Family Homes
Small Family Homes provide 24-hour care in the licensee's family residence for six or fewer children who are mentally disabled, developmentally disabled, or physically handicapped, and who require special care and supervision as a result of such disabilities.

Group Homes
Group Homes are facilities of any capacity and provide 24-hour non-medical care and supervision to children in a structured environment. Group Homes provide social, psychological, and behavioral programs for troubled youth.

Enhanced Adult Residential Facility
Adult Residential Facilities (ARF) are facilities of any capacity that provide 24-hour non-medical care for adults ages 18 through 59, who are unable to provide for their own daily needs. Adults may be physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, and/or mentally disabled. These facilities are homelike environments and generally used as a step down from state hospital, acute hospital and crisis residential or a step up from unenhanced Board and Care Homes and serves lower functioning clients who are less active in recovery and/or require prompting for services.

Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly
Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) provide care, supervision and assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and grooming. They may also provide incidental medical services under special care plans.

The facilities provide services to persons 60 years of age and over and persons under 60 with compatible needs. RCFEs may also be known as assisted living facilities, retirement homes, and board and care homes. The facilities can range in size from fewer than six beds to over 100 beds. The residents in these facilities require varying levels of personal care and protective supervision. Because of the wide range of services offered by RCFEs, consumers should look closely at the programs of each facility to see if the services will meet their needs.

Unlicensed Social Living Environments
Unlicensed sober living environments (SLE) are facilities with homelike environments that offer adult behavioral health clients a 24-hours-a-day, supervision and structured community living environment that supports a clean and sober lifestyle free from the use of illicit drugs and alcohol. 96 Unlicensed Transitional Sober Living Environments (TSLE) Unlicensed Transitional Sober Living Environments (TSLE) are homelike environments that offer adult behavioral health clients a less structured environment, may or may not have 24-hours a day supervision and structure. Residents accepted to these types of housing should have already completed a more structured Sober Living Environment’s requirements, and have been approved by the SLE, Treatment Team, Probation, Parole, or Sheriff’s department to transition. Unlicensed Transitional Sober Living Environments are a less structured homelike community living environment that supports a substance free lifestyle and considered a "step-down" from a Sober Living Environment. Applicants should have employment, or stable income.

Unlicensed Room & Boards:

Unlicensed Room & Boards are not licensed or certified by any state or local agencies. The facilities are homelike environments that offer adult mental health clients and supervised group living experience.

KCMH currently links clients with approximately 30 homes ranging from 1-21 beds, usually 2 persons/room. Estimated current total capacity is 277 persons.

Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e)
The City has allocated CDBG and HOPWA funds to serve people with special needs. Funds will be allocated towards facility improvements, homeowner and rental rehab, housing services including fair housing, and rehousing for vulnerable populations. The City will continue its HOME Access program that provides grants for accessibility improvements for low-income homeowners. The City anticipates assisting approximately 20 households per year.

97 MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment Countless studies and articles have sought to explain the contributors to California’s housing crisis. A notable analysis was conducted by California’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in a report titled “California's Housing Future: Challenges and Opportunities Final Statewide Housing Assessment 2025.” In it, HCD laid out five core challenges facing the State’s housing market:

1. Housing supply continues to not keep pace with demand.

2. High housing growth is expected in communities with environmental and socioeconomic disparities.

3. Unstable funding for affordable home development is impeding the ability to meet California's housing needs, particularly for lower-income households.

4. People experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations face additional barriers to obtaining housing.

5. Affordable housing has far-reaching policy impacts that benefit the quality of life in California, including health, transportation, education, the environment, and the economy.

Each of these challenges incorporates several related policy issues. Listed below are the factors that most clearly affect Bakersfield’s housing market. Public policies that affect the local housing market’s affordability and accessibility are also discussed in the City’s Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice report.

Funding. The lack of funding is by far the biggest barrier to developing more affordable housing. The dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies (RDAs) in 2011 to fill State budget deficits continues to have an impact on the local housing market. By utilizing tax increment financing, RDAs were often the single largest and most reliable local revenue sources for affordable housing. In Bakersfield, the annual revenue it generated has not be replaced.

The level of investment from the federal government also does not meet the demand for affordable housing. For instance, the overall funding for the CDBG and HOME programs has decreased over time, With the passage of Senate Bill 2 in 2017, increased investment in the LIHTC program in 2019, and modifications to various laws like the density bonus, the State has made efforts in recent years to increase the amount of money dedicated to affordable housing. Voters have also recently approved numerous Statewide bond measures that raise money for affordable housing. Besides some permanent revenue sources, many of the State’s actions are one-time investments and generally cannot be relied on in the long-term.
98 Locally, the City of Bakersfield voters approved Measure N, the Public Safety and Vital Services Measure on November 6, 2018. The Measure is a locally controlled one-cent sales tax measure that will provide approximately $58 million annually to the City of Bakersfield to address top community priorities including enhancing public safety, reducing homelessness and bolstering economic development activities. The Measure is effective April 1, 2019, within the City of Bakersfield. The City will use a portion of these funds for affordable housing.

Development costs. The cost of developing housing, inclusive of land, material, and labor costs, has outpaced inflation in recent years. There are many negative consequences to this, especially less units can be constructed with funds from the public sector and privately funded housing projects may be rendered financially infeasible or must increase rents to cover costs; each of these affect the local housing market’s affordability.

Development fees, often referred to as impact fees, also contribute to the increased cost of development and are gaining more attention as a barrier to construction. On behalf of the State legislature and HDC, the Terner Center for Housing Innovation conducted an analysis of development fees and their impact. While Bakersfield’s fees aren’t onerous relative to other cities, and such fees are normal practice across the country, the Terner Center found that California’s fees are especially high.

This is due in part to Proposition 13, which caps property tax increases, and the decreased federal investment in housing. These factors compel cities to seek alternative revenue sources, like development fees, for infrastructure and parks.14
While there is much that Bakersfield can do to eliminate barriers in housing, some additional external factors beyond the City’s control also affect housing investment. These forces include poverty and income levels, the cost of housing, linguistic isolation, transportation, employment opportunities, educational achievement, and regional planning agencies. In conjunction with the Housing Element’s AFFH findings, the following is a list of key conclusions and potential barriers that may exist in the City of Bakersfield.

NIMBYism - Opposition to Siting of Affordable Housing
Despite efforts made by the City, developers, and other stakeholders to demonstrate the need for and value of new affordable housing, there is still opposition to affordable housing in neighborhoods throughout the City. Community opposition limits the ability for the City to develop additional affordable housing to address the severe affordable housing shortage.

Lack of Access to Community Assets
Areas of high minority concentration, and low-income areas have limited access to community assets, banks, transit and employment centers when compared with the City as a whole. The limited 14 Hayley Raetz, David Garcia, and Nathaniel Decker, “Residential Impact Fees in California,” Terner Center for Housing Innovation, August 5, 2019.
99 access to these assets has an adverse impact on the residents (disproportionately protected classes) to have access to jobs, quality schools, fresh food and financial institutions. Focus group participants raised the concern over food insecurity as a significant problem for lower-income households throughout Bakersfield.

Foreclosure and Eviction Recovery
Foreclosures lower property values in the surrounding neighborhood and cause blight.

Neighborhood absentee homeowners (e.g., banks) also do not adequately manage the vacant properties resulting in blight and locations for criminal activities, further lowering property values.

This, in turn, threatens the remaining homeowners’ ability to refinance homes and limits incentives for potential homebuyers to move into the neighborhood. Foreclosed homeowners are also left with little to no savings and reduced credit scores resulting in difficulty obtaining funding for future homes.

Renters in properties that were foreclosed on also are adversely affected including unlawful eviction attempts, health problems due to unresponsive landlords in pre-foreclosure situations, lack of stability especially for persons with disabilities, seniors, and families with children, in addition to other issues associated with the change of building ownership such as evictions due to nonpayment, payment for moving, and rent increases. The repercussions of foreclosures on homeowners, renters, and the community at large is an impediment to fair housing. 100

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction?
The four sectors with the most employees are Education and Health Care Services; Retail Trade; Agriculture, Mining, Oil & Gas Extraction; and Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations. These four sectors represent almost 60% of all workers in Bakersfield. This is in line with the organizations that employ the most people in Kern County. While Education and Health Care Services has the most workers, the Agriculture, Mining, Oil & Gas Extraction sector holds an outsized impact on the local economy. The County produces more than half of all petroleum products produced in the State.

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:

During the ConPlan development, economic development stakeholders informed the City that fostering an inclusive economy, wherein people of color and LMI populations are provided equitable opportunities for success, are essential to the region’s overall economic well-being. This is especially important as Kern County continues to transition to a more service- and knowledge-based economy, exemplified by Bakersfield becoming an increasingly vital logistics hub and an emerging hospitality center. For example, in FY 2021-22, Bakersfield received $11.5 million in Transit Occupancy Taxes (TOT) from stays in hotels, more than twice than the County as a whole (https://www.sco.ca.gov/Files-ARDLocal/LocRep/2021-22_Cities_TOT.pdf).

It is worth highlighting the hospitality sector because beside the Education and Health Care Services sector – also crucial to a service-based economy – the Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations sector has the greatest number of unfilled jobs, as seen in Table MA-45.1 above. The Agriculture, Mining, Oil & Gas Extraction sector, the region’s historical economic base, actually has the largest surplus of labor, with 5% more workers than jobs. It is important that people in historically disadvantaged communities are not left behind as emerging service-based sectors mature and offer more and more economic opportunity. 105
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 Bakersfield Economic Development Strategic Planning process of 2021 involved close coordination of approach, tasks, stakeholder engagement and findings with the concurrent B3K (Better Bakersfield & Boundless Kern) Prosperity Initiative. B3K Prosperity is a public-private collaborative effort to develop a roadmap and investment plan for economic growth and inclusion in Kern County. B3K Prosperity is guided by a Core Team of organizations leading economic and workforce development for the region:

California State University Bakersfield, the City of Bakersfield, Kern County, Kern Economic Development Corporation, The Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce and Kern Community Foundation. The strategic planning process for B3K Prosperity was led by an Advisory Team featuring expertise from Brookings Institution researchers and national peer practitioners.

The California High-Speed Rail (HSR) is a major infrastructure project involving agencies at multiple levels of government and effecting populations and organizations through the Central Valley. The City has been planning for its HSR station for years and, in partnership with the California High-Speed Rail Authority, has developed Making Downtown Bakersfield, a visionary plan that charts the City’s path for establishing a multimodal urban hub around its HSR station.

The HSR will eventually connect California’s major cities from San Diego to San Francisco through the Central Valley, with Bakersfield being connected to Los Angeles and the Bay Area by 2029. As discussed in the economic study prepared for the High-Speed Rail project, this investment will better integrate the Central Valley’s economy with the State’s coastal economies, allowing it to evolve to a more balanced, diversified and resilient economy that offers more opportunity to those who live and work there.

Over time, enhanced connectivity and improved access to prosperous coastal cities will change the economic dynamics of the Central Valley and could hasten the diversification of its economy. In the long run, the Valley will be positioned to be more fully integrated into the larger State, national and global economies.

A second substantial economic development initiative is the Economic Opportunity Area (EOA) Plan, discussed previously in the NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs, which uses tax increment financing to promote economic growth within specific geographic areas. The EOA Plan focuses on the following investment priorities:
● Keeping public areas safe and clean
● Addressing the fiscal stability of the City
● Creating jobs through economic development, business retention/attraction and workforce development
● Enhancing amenities throughout the community to improve quality of life and attract visitors 106
Seven EOAs have been identified, based on the need for supplemental economic development activities:
● Downtown Bakersfield EOA
● Bakersfield Airport EOA
● Highway 58/Mt. Vernon EOA
● 34th Street Corridor EOA
● East Hills EOA
● Old Town Kern EOA
● Southeast EOA
As the EOA Plan was only recently established in July 2019, the City looks forward to supporting its neighborhoods and tracking progress toward its goals.

Unlike with other California metro areas, Bakersfield’s local economy is based in resource- and commodity-based sectors, but service- and knowledge-based sectors are becoming more significant.

Together, the Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations, Education and Health Care Services, and Retail Trade sectors have 50,712 workers, representing nearly half of the City’s labor force. Unfortunately, these sectors possess some of the lowest paying jobs in the area. For instance, a person earning the minimum wage in a retail establishment makes just $16/hour, which translates to $33,280 per year, or at the lower reaches of the low-income category.

Bakersfield’s relatively low educational attainment plays a part in the prevalence of low-paying jobs. For example, 18% of the working population has less than a high school degree; and of these, 38% are not even in the labor force. This makes the local labor force less competitive for the area’s highest paying occupations – skilled healthcare practitioners, architects and engineers, and management and legal occupations. There is a need, then, to create, retain, and attract higher paying jobs, as well as improve the local workforce’s educational attainment and raise wages for existing low-paying jobs.

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.

The region has been building a notable set of strategies and offerings around career and technical education and work-based learning. Workforce strategies prioritize major traded clusters, but most efforts center on a subset of locally-serving industries with abundant demand for lower-quality jobs (e.g. healthcare). Tech or digital skills talent is a general gap.

Oil and gas “talent adjacency” analysis show that there are knowledge and skill strengths in the oil/gas cluster that support new specializations. Specifically, oil and gas workforce capabilities show a very strong alignment with many manufacturing specializations.

The Strategic Plan accordingly lists as action plan goals the completion of the following:
107
 Coordinate a comprehensive workforce development system focused on full-spectrum career pathways to meaningful jobs (per B3K Prosperity) and expanded interface between educational/training entities and private employers
 Expand access to capital and other resources for business expansions and startups Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)?
No.

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.

No, the City does not participate in an CEDS

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
The census tracts that contain populations with the lowest incomes and the highest housing cost burdens are those with the most housing problems. For example, the census tract bounded by California, Chester, and Union Avenues and the Rosa Parks Highway has a median income of $25,000. Of the 1,300 low-income households in the census tract, 4.6% live in substandard housing, 14.6% are living in overcrowded conditions, and 61% are severely cost burdened. This is but one example where multiple housing problems coexist. Most of the City’s similar census tracts lie east of State Route 99.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") As discussed in NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need, the City has several Racially and Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAP) that align with the census tracts that are CDBG-eligible and where at least 50% of their populations are cost-burdened. HUD defines R/ECAP as census tracts with at least 40% of its population living below the poverty line and at least 50% of the population identifies as other than non-Hispanic White. Figure NA-30.1, recreated below, displays Bakersfield’s R/ECAP census tracts, which are concentrated in central Bakersfield.

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? There is alignment among census tracts that are CDBG-eligible, R/ECAP, and experience more housing problems. Furthermore, the areas designated in the City’s EOA Plan incorporate many of these census tracts. The EOA Plan states these areas were selected, “based on their need for supplemental economic development activities,” and, “include property zoned for commercial and industrial uses, which offer business and economic growth opportunities.”
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? The R/ECAP census tracts cover the historic core of Bakersfield and are key to achieving the City’s housing, transportation, and economic goals laid out in such plans like the Making Downtown Bakersfield and the EOA Plans. Long the cultural and economic center of Kern County, downtown Bakersfield is experiencing a community-driven resurgence, defying the previous trend of disinvestment.

New housing developments, restaurants, and multimodal transportation infrastructure is complementing existing businesses, public transit, and amenities, leading to revitalization of the neighborhood. Additionally, the area will be connected to the State’s coastal cities by the HSR by 2029, offering an unprecedented opportunity for economic development.

Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? 109
Many of the census tracts focused on in the efforts described above have been designated as Opportunity Zones. The Opportunity Zone program is a federal initiative to increase capital investment in economically distressed census tracts. If they put capital gains – or, unearned income through the sale of capital like real estate or stock – into projects in designated Opportunity Zones, investors’ tax bills are reduced and, in some cases, eliminated. The designation could be a boon to economic development efforts in central and southeast Bakersfield and is a key component of achieving the goals of the Making Downtown Bakersfield plan.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and ModerateIncome 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.

To address the digital divide, the City included a question in its community needs survey that asked residents if they had any challenges to internet access. Of the 463 respondents, 56% responded that they can access the internet without issue, while 44% experience some challenges to accessing the internet ranging from unreliable quality to no having any access.

Figure MA-60.1: Community Needs Survey- Challenges to Internet Access Source: 2024 Community Needs Survey
In drafting the ConPlan, the City used data from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding the number of broadband internet service providers in Bakersfield and the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey to determine the number of households with and without internet access.

Figure MA-60.2: Access to Broadband Provider Options

The ‘digital divide’ is the gap between those who have access to computers and internet and those who do not. To account for the digital divide, the federal government now requires the ConPlan to address broadband access. Broadband is commonly referred to as high-speed internet and is provided by Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), Cable and Fiber-Optic. Satellite may also provide high-speed internet.

Shown in Table MA-60.3 below, Bakersfield has wider access to broadband, as well as access to more broadband providers, than California, and the nation as a whole. It has comparable access as Los Angeles. This is important because the federal government considers digital literacy and access to highspeed internet as a necessity for positive socioeconomic outcomes. Having access to more broadband providers allows LMI residents to choose providers with better service and more competitive prices.

Source: Fixed Broadband Deployment, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Bakersfield’s broadband coverage is extensive, and it results in most households – 92% of households, or 124,744 households, according to the 2018-2022 ACS – having an internet subscription. But over 8% of households, still lack internet access. This number beats the rate at the national level – 11.7% of all households in the United States have no access to the internet – but it is still a significant number of residents who lack what the federal government considers an essential for success. In the City’s community needs survey, multiple respondents wrote in the costs of internet was a reason they did not have access at home.

There are four main broadband providers in Bakersfield: AT&T, Project Genesis (a subsidiary of DISH Network), T-Mobile, and Verizon. Although coverage for individual providers is not readily available, overall, the FCC reports that Bakersfield enjoys 100% coverage in nearly every part of the City. For fixed broadband, the following map shows coverage, with nearly every hexagon showing 100% coverage.

Those hexagons that are blank are the result of no information available, rather than a lack of service.

Table MA-60.4: Bakersfield Broadband Service Providers Coverage Source: Fixed Broadband Deployment, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Similarly, the mobile broadband coverage is also largely 100%:

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 jurisdiction is not immune to the risks related to climate change. The region has seen more severe storms, resulting in roadway flooding and challenges with transportation infrastructure washout.

Additionally, there have been severe droughts and changes in water availability, causing issues with the region’s agricultural economy. Emissions from agriculture, industry, rail freight and road traffic together cause the City’s air to be the worst in the United States for air quality.15 Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.

Many departments in the City government are involved in resiliency to natural hazards, especially the Bakersfield Fire Department and the Water Resource Department. Among other duties, the Water Resource Department monitors the City’s water supply quality, administers water conservation programs in response to drought conditions, and tracks the level of the Kern River, which flows through Bakersfield. This work helps to support vulnerable populations, specifically housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households.

The City’s Priority Climate Action Plan, released in March 2024, analyzed climate-related hazards for low-income and disadvantaged communities. The vulnerability assessment analyzed the specific climate change-related hazards faced by the city, the severity of their potential impacts, and the capacity of the City to prepare for and adapt to those hazards (“adaptive capacity”). The results of this analysis were translated into a vulnerability score. As shown in Table MA-65.1, the city was found to be most vulnerable to increased temperatures and extreme heat, followed by drought and water supply, wildfire, and extreme precipitation and flooding.

Table MA-65.1: Climate Vulnerability Scoring Summary for the City of Bakersfield Source: City of Bakersfield Priority Climate Action Plan, March 2024 The Kern County government also contributes to natural hazard resiliency, most significantly through its Office of Emergency Services. Its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is a centralized location for multiagency and multi-jurisdiction response to disasters. In an emergency, the EOC serves as the liaison 15 https://www.kget.com/news/local-news/bakersfield-ranks-no-1-in-cities-that-have-the-worst-air-pollution-inthe-nation-study-says/ 117
between local jurisdictions in Kern County, including the City of Bakersfield, and emergency services at the State level.

Bakersfield is involved in many plans to address climate change and sustainability, a key part of resiliency to natural hazards. Planning efforts include the Drought Mitigation Plan, the Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan, and many sustainable transportation plans from the Kern Council of Governments.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied 121
While the CDBG program does not require matching funds, CDBG funds offer excellent opportunities to leverage private, local, state, and other federal funds to allow for the provision of public service activities. The HOME program does require a match, at least a 25% on funds spent for affordable housing. There must be a 100% match with ESG. When using entitlement funds itself, the City will seek to use Federal, State, and local funds, as well as other non‐federal resource contributions to housing, to meet its matching requirements. For subrecipient applicants, preference will be given to those with matching funds.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan As the housing crisis has worsened in California, utilizing publicly owned land for affordable housing development has become an increasingly popular policy solution. In January 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an Executive Order directing State agencies to inventory and assess surplus State properties for their development potential. Unfortunately, the State owns just two surplus properties in Bakersfield, resulting in 1.99 total acres. For its part, the City regularly reviews its real estate portfolio and assesses if properties are being put to best use. Below includes a list of City owned properties:

Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System The City’s Community Development division within the Economic and Community Development Department is responsible for the overall administration and fiscal management of the ConPlan process and its associated funding programs. The staff within the division works closely with other City departments and the community to develop programs and activities that improve LMI: neighborhoods throughout the City. The administration of program activities includes housing, public facility and infrastructure improvements, public and social service activities and economic development activities.

City staff also makes recommendations to the City Council regarding the expenditure of entitlement program funds.

The strengths in the delivery system are through interdepartmental communication and collaboration.

City staff from various departments work with each other and with organizations and agencies that assist lower income individuals and families in Bakersfield to establish funding priorities. Any service delivery gaps that might exist are due to limited funding. The many housing and community development needs far exceed available funding. As a result, even high priority projects may have to wait years to be funded.

As discussed throughout the ConPlan, the Housing Authority of the County of Kern (HACK) is the area’s public housing authority responsible the City’s public housing and rental assistance vouchers. The City and Kern County collaborate to help meet the needs for all residents, including lower income households, seniors, farmworkers, and the homeless.
123
The Bakersfield-Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative (Bakersfield/Kern County Continuum of Care) is a network of nonprofit service providers, policymakers, business, charitable and faith-based organizations, volunteers and homeless or formerly homeless individual all working together to put an end to homelessness in Kern County.

Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) Many organizations in Bakersfield combine to provide a full range of services that either directly service or complement services targeted to homeless individuals and families. The cornerstone of the region’s homelessness services is the Bakersfield-Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative. Serving as the area’s Continuum of Care, BKRHC conducts the annual Point-In-Time Count, administers the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), coordinates actions to address homelessness, and convenes 124
organizations around the goal of ending homelessness. Embodying its important place in the community is BKRHC’s Strategic Plan. Developed in partnership with the City of Bakersfield and County of Kern, the Strategic Plan charts the course for Kern County service providers to address and end homelessness.

Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above
The service delivery system in Bakersfield is strong with respect to providing a comprehensive range of services for the general population, those with special needs, and persons experiencing homelessness.

The City’s Code Enforcement Rapid Response Teams and Park Rangers provide services seven-days a week to residents based on reports of encampments, shopping carts, and illegal camping through the City’s mobile app, “Bakersfield Mobile App.” This team also works to connect individuals residing in the encampments to services and resources to help transition individuals into permanent housing options.

This new team was created through the Public Safety and Vital Services Measure approved by voters in November 2018.

Additionally, persons with HIV/AIDS have a more limited range of services targeted toward them; however, information and referrals to general service providers are available through City funded programs administered by the Kern County Public Health Department through the HOPWAs grant.

Bakersfield AIDS Project also provides resources and referrals in the region. For the homeless population, the Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance organization provides homeless persons civil legal assistance and access to the court system. In addition, information and referrals are available through various homeless service organizations.

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 The City will continue to work with all relevant agencies, including the HACK, BKRHC, and the County of Kern, to identify gaps in the service delivery system to achieve the goals set forth in this ConPlan. 125

Impediment Proposed Actions Timeframe
Outreach Capacity and
Enforcement
Coordinate with GBLA to expand outreach and public
education strategies on available tenant protection and fair housing services to reach vulnerable households by offering information in multiple languages, targeted
social media efforts, combining information with other
assistance programs, distributing resources through
local schools and colleges, and partnering with
community-based organizations. Add more information
about fair housing services and a link to GBLA’s website on the City’s webpage with Fair Housing information by
January 2025.

Implement an Eviction Prevention Program to include
outreach and education on tenant rights and landlord
responsibilities. The program will provide multi-lingual educational public awareness and public education
workshops, meetings with residents to discuss tenant
rights, legal assistance to act as a liaison between
tenants and landlords, negotiate settlement
agreements, and attend dispossessory hearings as
necessary. Present results from the data collected from year one of the pilot Eviction Protection Program to City Council by May 2025, and make recommendations to
continue and if possible, expand the program. If
approved, enact recommendations within six months of
approval date.

Implement local housing programs in a manner that
responds to the needs of a culturally diverse community that includes multi-generational families, a variety of living arrangements, and Limited English Proficiency
households. Plans should ensure collaboration with
community groups, including faith-based and nonprofit
organizations, to provide outreach on housing resources to all types of households and those households with
Limited English Proficiency. Review affordable housing
programs every two years to ensure compliance with
current City policy to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing and make necessary changes within six months.

Review the City’s outreach methods annually, using
feedback from resident surveys and focused discussions
2020-2025;
ongoing
129
with community organizations to inform online, mail,
and in-person outreach methods. Increase participation
of historically underrepresented residents in all City
housing programs and community planning activities by
collaborating with local religious organizations,
community-based organizations, and public agencies
that serve the underrepresented groups. Collaborate
with existing and new community stakeholders from all
sectors and geographic areas to engage in the public
participation process. Conduct at least one citywide
resident survey every three years to obtain feedback
about City outreach methods, prioritizing feedback from underrepresented residents.

Expand and improve access to public meetings by
conducting public meetings at suitable times (using
information from public feedback and survey results)
and locations, using both in-person and online methods
such as Zoom. In-person meetings must accommodate
persons with disabilities, be accessible to nearby transit centers, and provide resources such as childcare,
translation, and food services. Develop an outreach
guide that will be used for all outreach campaigns.

Conduct a public survey on outreach methods and
accessibility at public meetings to inform the outreach guide. Develop the outreach guide by January 2026.

Review and update the City’s Language Access Plan
based on HUD guidelines and publish it on the City’s
website. The goal of the Language Access Plan is to
survey, maintain and publish a list of resources that
facilitate communication between City staff and those
households with Limited English Proficiency so that
their housing needs are met. The City seeks to ensure
that all residents may participate fully and equally in the housing market by maintain access to written and oral
City resources. Review the City’s Language Access Plan
and update by January 2026.
130
Impediment Proposed Actions Timeframe
Replacing Segregated Living
Patterns with Integrated and
Balanced Living Patterns
Budget for and implement plans and strategies for
communities in Central and Southeast Bakersfield,
prioritizing corridors and neighborhoods designated for mixed-income housing opportunities in the Sites
Inventory. Hold at least three workshops during the
planning period in Southeast Bakersfield to develop
infrastructure and programming plans that support
mixed-income housing development. Hold the first
workshop by December 2026.

Expand the Prosperity Neighborhood community
revitalization efforts, as well as apply for Transformative Climate Communities Implementation grants. Implement
existing City plans, such as the Downtown Bakersfield
Corridor Enhancement Master Plan and the Bakersfield
Transformative Climate Communities Plan, and annually
monitor implementation strategies to ensure equitable
practices that benefit low- and moderate-income
residents.

In Southeast Bakersfield, collaborate with local
organizations and residents to identify opportunities for placemaking improvements, including:
▪ Public transit and active transportation
infrastructure
▪ Public art reflective of cultural identity and diversity ▪ Neighborhood-serving public infrastructure such as
wayfinding signs, community gardens, shades, street
trees, recreation facilities, and benches
Collaborate with regional partners and seek grant
funding for implementation when practicable.

Coordinate with the Public Works Department to review
the City’s biannual Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) to ensure public facilities and infrastructure are supportive of the needs of underserved communities.

For Fiscal Year 2025-26, as part of the annual CIP
program update, establish a minimum spending target
(15%) and report the percent of CIP budget (including
Federal, State, and regional grant funds, including CDBG) committed to Central and Southeast Bakersfield.
2025-2030;
ongoing
131
Prepare a report on the City’s infrastructure investment from 2023 to 2028 from an equity and anti-displacement
lens to ensure that improvements benefit lower-income
neighborhoods by June 2029. The report shall be made
public.

Annually monitor the development of housing units
affordable to lower- and moderate-income households in
RCAAs and identify and implement changes in the zoning
code and/or incentive programs (financial or
streamlining) for high-density or deed-restricted housing in those areas. Annually monitor housing production in
RCAAs. Implement incentive programs or zoning
amendments within one year of review.

Promote the development of ADUs, prioritizing
Northwest, Southwest, and Northeast Bakersfield.

Conduct seven educational workshops, campaigns, or
outreach events to inform and promote ADU
development in the city to residents, with at least five targeted to residents and developers in Northwest,
Southwest, and Northeast Bakersfield, by December
2030. Contact at least four community or neighborhood
organizations to host workshops and/or disseminate
information and hold at least two workshops about ADUs
with housing developers and/or real estate professionals, by December 2030. Achieve 70% of new ADUs in
targeted neighborhoods.

Determine and implement strategy to promote ADUs for
moderate and lower-income households. Prepare a
report on potential strategies to encourage affordability of ADUs for moderate and lower-income households,
including but not limited to, promoting the use of Section 8 vouchers or development of cost incentive programs or no-interest loan program for ADU developers in
exchange for income restrictions. Prepare report by July 2025 and present to City Council for adoption of a pilot program by October 2025. If adopted, implement pilot
program by January 2026. If program is adopted, create
48 affordable (deed-restricted) ADUs by the end of the
planning period (2026 to 2029).
132
Significant Disparities in Housing
Needs and Access to Opportunity
Prioritize public health, education, economic, and safety programs in Central and Southeast Bakersfield in
coordination with area public health entities (e.g.,
Bakersfield Family Medical Center, Kern Medical, Dignity Health Hospitals), Kern Transit, the City’s Economic and Community Development Department, Bakersfield City
School District, workforce development groups, and the
Bakersfield Police Department. Identify addresses and
compile mailing list and email addresses to focus
outreach to neighborhoods in Central and Southeast
Bakersfield to prioritize services in these areas. Involve community organizations and advocates, business
councils, and residents to refine program scope.

Opportunities could include new or expanded policies
and programs, added density bonuses, land banks,
housing trust funds, and transit and economic
development and prioritization. Develop a
comprehensive, long-term community development
strategy and/or program priority strategy for Central and Southeast Bakersfield by January 2026.

Develop an outreach strategy in multiple languages for
long-standing property owners who own fewer than 10
residential units (either in single-family or multifamily rental housing) to assess needs and connect them with
resources, such as housing unit rehabilitation and
financing programs. The intent of this program is to
preserve Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (i.e., not currently regulated with affordability deed restrictions).

The program will seek to prioritize communities
