BACKGROUND
On September 19, 2012, the City of Baldwin Park entered into an Agency-State Agreement (known as a Master Agreement) with the State of California, Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The Master Agreement serves as the funding mechanism and administration document for state and/or federal grant-funded projects that are awarded to the city. The typical term for the Master Agreement is ten (10) years and as federal and state grants are awarded to the city, the projects are incorporated into the Master Agreement through Program Supplement Agreements (PSAs). Specific technical information regarding each individual project including a detailed cost, scope, and schedule would be contained in a PSA developed and customized for each project.

The Master Agreement must be executed prior to, or concurrent with the California Transportation Commission’s (CTC) approval of a transportation project application. Since the existing Master Agreement is set to expire on September 19, 2022, a new Master Agreement is required to be adopted and executed in order two incorporate newly and future grant-awarded projects through PSAs.

DISCUSSION
On March 17, 2022, the California Transportation Commission’s (CTC), allocated State funds through its Active Transportation Program (ATP Cycle 3) for the construction of the San Gabriel Commuter Bike Path Greening Project. The allocated amount, totaling $766,000, encompasses two (2) State Grants: ATPLNI-5323(038) for non-infrastructure work and ATPL-5323(039) for construction.

As a condition for the State to reimburse grant funds, the City must execute Program Supplement Agreements ATPLNI-5323(038) and ATPL-5323(039), which contain specific technical information such as detailed costs, scope, schedule, payments, reports, and other aspects of the project. The PSAs will be incorporate the project into the new Master Agreement No. 07- 5323S21 in order for the City to commence expenditures on the project and to invoice the State on a reimbursement basis.

The Project is for 2.5 miles of Class I bicycle and pedestrian path starting at the west side of the existing San Gabriel River Bikeway on the San Gabriel Channel Levee at Ramona Boulevard, an existing Los Angeles County Flood Control service road South of Ramona Boulevard, traveling under the 1-10 Freeway bridge to the confluence of the San Gabriel River, then under the I-605 Freeway bridge to a rest area at Walnut Creek Nature Park and ending at Baldwin Park Boulevard where it connects to a class III Bicycle Route. The entire project is built on right-of- way controlled by the City, Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, Los Angeles County Flood Control District, SCE, Army Corp and Caltrans, being accessed by the City or through a Land Use Agreement with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works and Permits from Caltrans District 7, SCE, Army Corp, and LA Department of Water and Power.

Funds from grant ATPLNI-5323(038) will be used for non-infrastructure work which will support the project with public outreach, education, encouragement, evaluation of the programs and administration throughout the project area. Funding from grant ATPL-5323(039) be used for greening enhancements including planting of native vegetation in landscape areas, drought tolerant trees, and bioswales along the bike path. Additional enhancements include, but is not limited to, installation of site furnishings and amenities including, benches, shade structures, hydration stations, drinking fountain, bike repair stations, fencing, lighting, security cameras and inviting landscaping.

This project is listed in the current budget Fiscal Year 2021-22 Capital Improvement Program.

ALTERNATIVES

1. The City Council may choose not to adopt Resolution 2022-XXX approving Master Agreement No.07-5323S21 with the State and Program Supplement Agreements ATPLNI- 5323(038) and ATPL-5323(039). This action is not recommended as this will delay the work and may result in loss of funds for project nos. ATPLNI-5323(038) and ATPL-5323(039).

2. Provide Staff with alternate direction.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” under Section 15378 (b)(5) of CEQA Guidelines.

The action involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

SUBJECT: Housing Element Progress Report 2021

SUMMARY
Consideration for City Council approval of the City’s Housing Element Progress Report for 2022, as required by the State of California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD).

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the report.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact resulting from this item.

BACKGROUND
The Housing Element is one of the seven mandatory elements required for the City’s General Plan, and it specifies ways in which housing needs of existing and future resident populations can be met.

State law requires that each city and county update their Housing Element on a pre-determined cycle.

The 2014-2021 Housing Element is comprised of five sections: (1) Needs Assessment; (2) Housing Constraints; (3) Housing Resources; (4) Review of previous Accomplishments from the 2008-2013 Housing Element; and (5) the Housing Plan. The City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocations are summarized in Table #1 below by income level. The number of units assigned to Baldwin Park for the 2014-2021 period was 557 housing units. It should be noted that the city is not required to construct these units, but rather plan for them through the Zoning Code development standards and the Housing Programs adopted as part of the 2014-2021 Housing Element.

STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 7
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Enrique C. Zaldivar, Chief Executive Officer
PREPARED BY: Ron Garcia, Acting Director of Community Development DATE: May 4, 2022
SUBJECT: Approving an Agreement with JWA Urban Consultants Inc. (JWA) to Provide Temporary As-Needed Planning
Consulting Services Related to City Staff Augmentation
for the Planning Division

SUMMARY
Consideration of an agreement with JWA Urban Consultants Inc. (JWA) to provide temporary as- needed planning consulting services due to vacancies in the Planning Division and recent vacancy of the Director of Community Development.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Chief Executive Officer to finalize and execute the agreement approved as to form by the City Attorney between the City and JWA Urban Consultants Inc. (JWA) to provide temporary as-needed planning consulting services related to Staff Augmentation Support for the Planning Division; authorize the Director of Finance to make necessary budget adjustments.

FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated utilization cost is $28,875 for FY21/22 and $66,000 for FY 22/23. However, there is no additional fiscal impact to this request. The cost will be covered from the vacancy savings.

BACKGROUND
The Planning Division currently has limited staffing. Given the limited in-house staffing in the Planning Division and recent acting appointment of the City Planner to interim Director of Community Development there is a continuing high work load, an option to fulfill that request is to have planning consultant services available to step in and assist staff during this transition with the processing of key development projects by evaluating applications, oversee the environmental CEQA process, prepare necessary documents for public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council.

Staff is recommending the selection of JWA Urban Consultants Inc. (JWA) to provide temporary as- needed planning consulting services during this transition. JWA has provided staff services for multiple cities and jurisdictions in the San Gabriel Valley including Monterey Park, San Gabriel, El Monte, La Puente, and West Covina. The proposal includes using Mr. Jack Wong Principal and CEO to provide approximatively 20-30 hours per week to alleviate the Departments workload. He has over 30 years of professional planning/redevelopment experience in both public and private sectors. Therefore, staff is recommending selecting JWA Urban Consultants Inc (JWA) for planning consulting services on a temporary basis during this transition.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City’s Special Legal Counsel will utilize the City’s standard form of agreement for these services.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may choose not to approve this agreement.

Ron Garcia, Acting Director of Community Development
Sam Gutierrez, Director of Public Works
Manuel Carrillo Jr, Director of Recreation & Community
Services
DATE: May 4, 2022
SUBJECT: Proposed New Family Service Center Status Update

SUMMARY
This report serves as a status update on the proposed family service center.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the report.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact resulting from this item.

BACKGROUND
At the direction of City Council staff added the development of a new Family Service Center to the preliminary list of American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) projects in 2021. At the January 19th, 2022, City Council meeting, staff recommended that City Council define the scope of work for the project, provide direction and authorize funding for the development of an initial conceptual design, environmental review, and an amendment to the Downtown Specific Plan, if needed. After Council discussion the City Council directed staff conceptual design options for a Family Service Center at the Morgan Street, and Laurens Avenue parking lot.

Subsequently, in early February City staff scheduled an all hands meeting to discuss next steps and invited the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity, Inc. (Habitat) to explore a joint partnership for the development of the center. At the meeting Habitat offered to conduct an informal Request for Proposal (RFP) and invite their network to submit concepts for a project at no cost to the city. At the time, the general concept for the project would include a new Family Service Center, affordable residential units and a new Habitat ReStore and offices. This would utilize the existing city-owned vacant lot at Morgan St. and Laurens Ave (aka Laurens Property). At this meeting it was concluded that Habitat would be given an opportunity to issue their own RFP and present a project to the city for consideration.

Since this meeting, staff has been conducting its own research in relation to the California Surplus Land Act, which aims to increase the availability of real property in California for affordable housing development by requiring the prioritization of affordable housing when selling or leasing public lands no longer necessary for agency use. The findings from the City Attorney were that if the project includes affordable residential units, then the project would be in compliance with the Surplus Land Act and could move forward. Staff also began researching the best course of action for a potential sale to Habitat in the future. This included the potential use of a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) or another instrument to transfer the sites to Habitat.

While staff was conducting its research, Habitat toured the current Family Service Center site with the Mayor and it was determined that a viable option would be to have the Family Service Center remain at its current site where underutilized areas could be used to improve and expand its present capacity.

Habitat then issued the RFP without a new Family Service Center component and instead issued the RFP as a standalone project at the Morgan St. and Laurens Ave. site that would include affordable residential units and a new Habitat ReStore and offices. The deadline for the submission of proposals in response to the RFP will be in three weeks. Habitat was anticipating having up to four proposals but is expecting two for sure.

Currently the Laurens Property is used as a parking lot for the adjacent downtown businesses, and visitors to the park and basketball court. It is approximately 43,000 square feet (.98 Acres ) in size in a Downtown Edge Zone. Habitat is in the process of receiving preliminary conceptual ideas sketched out by Habitat that would include a 4-story building with a roof-top terrace for beneficial use, and 3-story building with no rooftop terrace. A very rough estimate of the cost for construction of the building is in the range of $10-$12M.

As a parallel action, the City thru the Recreation & Community Services Department, has submitted a grant application to the federal government for up to $5,000,000.00 as coordinated by the Office of Congresswoman Grace Napolitano for the construction of an accessible 12,000-square foot Family Service Center. It is too early in the process to know our probability for a successful award.

STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 9
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ron Garcia, Acting Community Development Director PREPARED BY: Carol Averell, Housing Manager
DATE: May 4, 2022
SUBJECT: Public Hearing Regarding Fiscal Year 2022-23 Annual Action Plan

SUMMARY
For the City Council to hold the second of two required public hearings to receive public input and ultimately approve the FY 2022-23 Annual Action Plan.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Mayor and City Council Hold a Public Hearing and accept public testimony; and approve the Final 2022-23 Annual Action Plan and authorize the City Manager to execute the documents required for submission of this Plan for CDBG and HOME Funds to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. However, approval of the FY 2022-23 Annual Action Plan will provide approximately $942,671 in new CDBG funding and $311,628 in new HOME funds to the City of Baldwin Park upon HUD approval. Please note that as of the writing of this staff report, HUD has not released the official CDBG and HOME entitlement allocations for Fiscal Year 2022-23. HUD has notified the City that entitlement amounts should be available by May 13, 2022. HUD has advised grantees to plan for a +-10% change to the FY 2021-22 allocation; therefore, staff has opted to use the same grant amounts as FY 2021-22 for the development of the Annual Action Plan.

BACKGROUND
The Annual Action Plan acts as the City’s application process for federal formula grants, principally comprised of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs. The Action Plan describes the rationale behind specific allocations for the upcoming fiscal year and details how the City’s use of CDBG and HOME funds addresses the priorities in the Consolidated Plan. The total CDBG and HOME funding available for FY 2022-23 is estimated as follows:

CDBG HOME TOTAL
FY 2022-23 Entitlement (estimate) $942,671 $311,628 $1,254,299 Estimated FY 2022-23 Program Income $0 $0 $0
Unexpended Prior Year Funds $219,709 $2,640,557 $2,860,266 Estimated Total Funds Available $1,162,380 $2,952,185 $4,114,565 All HOME and CDBG funds must be used to benefit low to moderate income households, individuals and neighborhoods.

The City received eight (8) applications from public service organizations and has recommended funding seven (7) in 2022-23, as seen in the Proposed Funding Allocation Chart below.

FY 2022-23 Proposed Funding Allocation
The following table identifies the FY 2022-23 CDBG proposed projects recommended to be funded:

In the event that there is an increase/decrease in the FY 2022-23 entitlement amount, City staff will make the following adjustments:
 CDBG Public Service Allocations - The seven subrecipients consisting of Church of the Redeemer Food Bank, Family Service Center, BPPD Pride Platoon, Youth Employment Program, Graffiti Removal Program, Domestic Violence Advocate, and East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless will have their funding adjusted proportionately (weighted average).  CDBG Housing and Infrastructure Allocations – Funding of the Home Improvement Grant Program, Home Improvement Loan Program, Code Enforcement, and ADA Curb Ramps Project will not change.
 CDBG Program Administration – The allocation to CDBG Program Administration will be adjusted accordingly but will not exceed the 20 percent maximum requirement.  CDBG Unallocated Fund Balance – The unallocated CDBG balance will be adjusted to absorb the remaining difference after public services and administration activities are adjusted accordingly.

 HOME Housing Projects – all three proposed housing developments (Habitat for Humanity CHDO Project, Cesar Chavez Foundation Affordable Housing Project, and the Retirement Housing Foundation Senior Housing Project) will remain unchanged.  HOME Program Administration - If HOME funds are increased or decreased, then HOME administration funding will be adjusted accordingly but will not exceed the 10 percent maximum allowed.
 HOME Unallocated Fund Balance – The unallocated HOME balance will be adjusted to absorb the remaining difference in allocation after HOME administration is adjusted accordingly.

Public Review
Pursuant to the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, the City is required to hold two public hearings and make available all draft plans for the required 30-day comment period. The draft FY 2022-23 Annual Action Plan has been available for public review since April 1, 2022, concluding at this second public hearing on May 4, 2022.

LEGAL REVIEW
No Legal Review is necessary at this time.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may revise proposed projects funding as an alternative.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
Introduction
The Consolidated Plan is designed to help the City of Baldwin Park assess affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions in order to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. The consolidated planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME) programs. The goals are to assist low and moderate -income persons, provide decent housing, create su itable living environments, and expand economic opportunities. Included in the Consolidated Plan are broad five-year objectives and strategies to accomplish these goals. Specific identifiable benchmarks for measuring progress in realizing the City’s strategy are proposed in the Action Plan for 2022-23.

The 2022-23 Annual Action Plan includes application for funds under two different HUD entitlement programs - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME). Current year entitlements combined with reallocations from prior years bring the total funding for program year 2022-23 to over $4 million. The following Annual Action Plan describes resources, programs, activities and actions Baldwin Park will take in the coming 2022-23 fiscal year to implement its strategic plan and ultimately achieve its Consolidated Plan goals and objectives, summarized in Table 1 on the following page.

Annual Action Plan BALDWIN PARK 3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has established three predetermined objectives and outcomes designed to capture the range of community impacts that occur as a result of CDBG and HOME-funded programs. Each activity or program funded with CDBG or HOME must fall under one of three objectives and one of three outcomes. The framework of selecting these objectives and outcomes is known as HUD’s CPD Outcome Performance Measurement System. Here are the objectives and outcomes to choose from:

Objectives
• Creating Suitable Living Environments relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment, from physical problems with their environment to social issues. • Providing Decent Housing covers the wide range of housing activities where the purpose is to meet individual family or community housing needs. • Creating Economic Opportunities applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation.

Outcomes
• Availability/Accessibility applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities, housing, or shelter available or accessible to low- and moderate- income people, including persons with disabilities.
• Affordability applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low- and moderate-income people and is appropriate to use whenever an activity is lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordabil ity of a product or service to benefit a low-income household.
• Sustainability applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low- and moderate -income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods.

Baldwin Park’s Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment was developed by reviewing Census statistical data and building up on already adopted planning documents, coupled with consultation with housing, homeless and service providers, City Departments, and the public via community meetings, public hearings, and a Community Needs Assessment Survey. The result was the formation of seven areas of priority need, including:

1. Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing – Based on evaluation of 2011 -2015 ACS and CHAS data, there is a high need for housing units affordable for households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. Of the 11,390 households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City, 7,704 are cost burdened households—meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Additionally, 3,875 of the cost burdened households are considered severely cost burdened households —meaning that they pay more than 50 Annual Action Plan BALDWIN PARK 4
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
percent of their income for housing. Of the 3 ,875 severely cost burdened households, 2,310 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 2,255 households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless.

The development of additional housing units affordable for low - and moderate-income households is rated as the highest priority need due to the number of severely cost burdened households in Baldwin Park. Additionally, responses to the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey suppo rt the development of additional affordable housing units in Baldwin Park.

2. Preserve the Supply of Affordable Housing – As the City's housing stock ages, a growing percentage of housing units may need rehabilitation to allow them to remain safe and habitable. The situation is of particular concern for low - and moderate -income homeowners who are generally not in a financial position to properly maintain their homes.

The age and condition of Baldwin Park’s housing stock is an important indicator of potential rehabilitation needs. Commonly, housing over 30 years of age needs some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work and plumbing systems. Housing over 15 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating / air-conditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing fixtures.

Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate-income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities provide that all economic segments o f the community have the means to ensure that their property meets local standards and that all Baldwin Park residents have the opportunity to live in decent housing. Housing preservation is rated as a high priority need based on the demand for service rep orted by the City's Housing Rehabilitation Program staff and responses to the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey.

3. Ensure Equal Access to Housing Opportunities – HUD mandates that all recipients of federal housing and community development assistance such as CDBG and HOME take actions to affirmatively further fair housing choice within their communities. The City of Baldwin Park will certify its compliance with HUD’s requirement to affirmatively further fair housing choice in each Annual Ac tion Plan requesting an annual allocation of CDBG and HOME funds.

Annual Action Plan BALDWIN PARK 5
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Affirmatively furthering fair housing choice by ensuring equal access to housing opportunities is a high priority for HUD and the City of Baldwin Park. In accordance with HUD requirements, this priority will be addressed using CDBG funds.

4. Neighborhood Services, Community Facilities – In consultation with the City of Baldwin Park Public Works Department and Community Development Department, a high level of need exists within th e City for activities such as infrastructure improvements, public facilities improvements, code enforcement and other activities that improve the housing and commercial structures in the area. Activities that can address neighborhood preservation include code enforcement, public facilities improvements and infrastructure improvements.

The City of Baldwin Park considers the preservation and enhancement of its low - and moderate-income neighborhoods a high priority and will support activities that will help prevent further deterioration of these neighborhoods. Based on need and available resources and results of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the improvement of neighborhoods, public facilities and infrastructure is rated as a high priority need for CDBG funds.

5. Provide Public Services for Low Income Residents – According to 2009 -2015 American Community Survey 5 -Year Estimates data, there are approximately 17,374 total households in Baldwin Park, of which 83 percent, or 14,420 households earn less than 80 percent of AMI. Data further indicates that 14.9 percent (11,347) of all residents are below the poverty level.

Consultation with organizations that provide a range of public services targeted to low - and moderate -income resid ents revealed the need for public services that address a variety of needs including those associated with affordable childcare, affordable housing, education, arts and recreation for children, youth, and families. Additional public services like Graffiti Removal will be provided for low- and moderate-income areas to benefit low- income residents.

Consistent with the results of the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the provision of a wide range of public services for low - and moderate-income residents is a high priority.

6. Public Services for Residents with Special Needs - Analysis of available data and consultation with organizations providing services for special needs populations revealed a high need for a range of additional services in cluding, but not limited to, those concerned with domestic violence and services for developmentally disabled adults.

Special needs services are rated as a high priority need based on the demand for service reported by local service providers and response s to the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey.

Annual Action Plan BALDWIN PARK 6
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)

7. Prevent and Eliminate Homelessness - According to the results of the most recent data available from the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA), in 2019, the County as a whole experienced a 12 percent increase in the number of homeless persons, SPA region 3 experienced a 17 percent increase, and the City of Baldwin Park a 6 percent decrease (289 homeless persons counted in 2018 to 273 homeless persons counted in 2019). To address incidences of homelessness in Baldwin Park and to prevent extremely low-income Baldwin Park families from becoming homeless, the City places a high priority on programs that work to prevent homelessness or rapidly connect homeless individuals with housing and supportive services.

The City of Baldwin Park considers ending and preventing homelessness a high priority and will support CDBG public service activities that help prevent homelessness and that provide a structured path to stable housing for indivi duals and families who become homeless.

8. Section 108 Loan Repayment – This priority need satisfies the requirement to repay the Section 108 loan (principal and interest) used during the development of the Wal -Mart Center in 2003.

9. Special Needs Non-Homeless, Facilities/Infrastructure Improvements - In consultation with the City of Baldwin Park Public Works Department, a high level of need exists within the City for constructing Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliant improvements, specifically in community and public facilities. Activities that address ADA -compliant improvements may include ADA-compliant restroom facilities, concrete pathways, curbs, ramps, railings, and directional signage.

Accessibility improvements for Special Needs Pers ons are rated as a priority need based on consultation with the Baldwin Park Public Works Department and responses to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey. The City of Baldwin Park considers creating unobstructed paths of travel and accessibility for special needs persons including seniors and severely disabled adults a high priority and will use CDBG funds to support activities that improve access to community and public facilities.

Evaluation of past performance
The second year of the FY 2020/21 – 2024/25 Consolidated Plan is still in process and performance accomplishments will be fully captured in the year -end FY 2020 -21 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process As a condition to receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) funds, the City of Baldwin Park must engage stakeholders and the public Annual Action Plan BALDWIN PARK 7
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
regarding the community’s needs in the areas of community development and housing. To guide in this effort, the City has adopted a Citizen Participation Plan which outlines the citizen participation and consultation efforts necessary for the development of the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

All of Baldwin Park’s citizens are encouraged to participate in the planning, development, and implementation of the Annual Action Plan. Three public hearings are held by the City each year to discuss issues related to the Consolidated Plan as well as the Annual Action Plan. The first two hearings focus on the needs of the community and development of the Annual Action Plan and provides citizens with an opportunity to comment on the Annual A ction Plan. The third public hearing is conducted as part of the year -end Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) process and focuses on performance as it relates to housing, homelessness, hazards associated with lead-based paint, accessibility, and community development needs, such as infrastructure and public services.

AP-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
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)).

The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of its CDBG and HOME programs. As a result, during the development of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City consulted closely with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community -focused agencies. Outreach efforts included surveys including specific questions associated with coordination, invitations to community meetings and follow-up in-person interviews where appropriate.

The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the five- year planning period with these organizations and agencies. The City will streng then relationships among these organizations in the implementation of the NOFA process for CDBG and HOME funds and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients of CDBG and HOME funds each year.

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 Continuum of Care (CoC) for Los Angel es County is led by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority or LAHSA . T he CoC guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. The City coordinates with the CoC to identify objectives and address the needs of different homeless populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth, and persons at risk of homelessness.

Coordination to address homelessness — including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth — is guided by the CoC. All service providers within the CoC have the ability to refer people with varying needs to the appropriate service provider(s) in their area.

Pursuant to HUD guidance, the City will also be working closely with the Los Angeles CoC in the development of the City’s HOME-ARP Allocation Plan. A special allocation of HOME funds from the American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) will provide $1,128,365 to assist individuals or households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and other vulnerable populations, by providing housing, rental assistance, supportive services, and non -congregate shelter, to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability in Baldwin Park.

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 Annual Action Plan BALDWIN PARK 11
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
The City of Baldwin Park does not receive ESG funds; however, in the development of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City consulted 23 housing, social service and other entities involved in housing, community and economic devel opment in the City and throughout the region to obtain valuable information on the priority needs in Baldwin Park and how CDBG, HOME and other resources should be invested to provide decent affordable housing, a suitable living environment and economic opp ortunities for low - and moderate-income residents. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the lead agency of the Continuum of Care (CoC), was consulted to discuss performance standards, outcomes, and policies and procedures for HMIS. Table 3 provides a listing of the entities consulted as part of this planning process.

To enhance coordination among the CoC, public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies, the City invited each of these entities to provide input on the needs of the community in the development of this Consolidated Plan.

The City monitors CoC policies to ensure that local efforts correspond to changes in the regional approach to addressing the needs o f homeless and low -income people. Further, the Housing Department works with subrecipients of CDBG and HOME funds to ensure a coordinated effort among service agencies in the region to address the needs of Baldwin Park residents, including but not limited to chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, unaccompanied youth, and persons who were recently homeless but now live-in permanent housing. To promote economic opportunities for low -income residents, the City coordinates with subrecipient social service agencies, businesses, and housing developers to ensure that where there are job opportunities for low - income people in connection with HUD-assisted projects, information is disseminated through appropriate channels consistent with the objectives of Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1968.

Summary of citizen participation process/efforts made to broaden citizen participation The City followed HUD’s guidelines for citizen and community involvement in preparation of the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan. To encourage citizen participation in the preparation of the documents, the City undertook several activities as summarized below.

Housing and Community Development Needs Survey for Development of the Consolidated Plan - To assist in the identification of priority needs in the City, a survey was prepared and distributed to residents of the City to solicit resident input in the prioritization of needs related to community services, community facilities, infrastructure, neighborhood services, special needs services, businesses and jobs, and housing. The surveys were available online, through social me dia, and also were made available at the Baldwin Park Community Development Department.

Community Meetings for Development of the Consolidated Plan - Two community meetings to discuss the housing and community development needs in Baldwin Park were held on September 19, 2019 and September 21, 2019, respectively, at the Esther Snyder Community Center. No public comments were received.

FY 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan and 2020 -21 Annual Action Plan Citizen Participation - The draft 2020-2021 Annual Action Pla n and 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan was available for public review and comment from March 16, 2020 to April 15, 2020. No public comments were received.

A public hearing to receive comments on the draft 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan and the 2020 - 2021 Annual A ction Plan was held before the Baldwin Park City Council on April 15, 2020. No public comments were received.

At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low - and moderate -income residents, members of minority groups, agencies involve d in the provision of services to these populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved.

In the preparation of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City followed the process established for citizen participation set forth in the Citizen Participation Plan. To promote greater public accessibility to program documents, the Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated Plan, Action Plans, CAPERs and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice were posted on the City website at: http://www.baldwinpark.com/
FY 2022-23 Annual Action Plan Citizen Participation - The City of Baldwin Park has a Citizen Participation Plan to guide the City's CDBG citizen participation process. All of Baldwin Park’s citizens are encouraged to participate in the planning, development, and implementation of the Annual Action Plan BALDWIN PARK 19

EXPECTED RESOURCES

AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
For fiscal year 2022-23, the City of Baldwin Park will have a n estimated total of $1,162,380 in CDBG funds. This total amount is comprised of an estimated $942,671 in Fiscal 2022-23 CDBG entitlement funds and $219,709 in prior year unallocated CDBG funds carried forward. It is important to note that as of the writing of this Annual Action Plan, HUD has not released CDBG allocations for 2022 -23. HUD has instructed City staff to disclose to the public that the CDBG allocation could vary by + -10% of the FY 202 1-22 allocation. City staff has opted to use the FY 2021-22 allocation of $942,671 for preparation of the Annual Action Plan until the release of the actual amount. In the event that there is an increase/decrease in the FY 2022 -23 entitlement amount, City staff will make the following adjustments:
• CDBG Public Service Allocations - The eig ht applicants consisting of Church of the Redeemer Food Bank, Family Service Center, BPPD Pride Platoon, Youth Employment Program, Graffiti Removal Program, Domestic Violence Advocate, East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless, and Oath for Countr y Foundation will have their funding adjusted proportionately (weighted average).
• CDBG Housing and Infrastructure Allocations – Funding of the Home Improvement Grant Program, Home Improvement Loan Program, and ADA Curb Ramps Project will not change.
• CDBG Program Administration – The allocation to CDBG Program Administration will be adjusted accordingly but will not exceed the 20 percent maximum requirement. • CDBG Unallocated Fund Balance – The unallocated CDBG balance will be adjusted to absorb the rem aining difference after public services and administration activities are adjusted accordingly.

Further, the City does not have any income from float-funded activities or surplus from urban renewal settlements, sale of real property, prior period adjustments, loans outstanding or written off, CDBG acquired property available for sale, or lump sum drawdown payments. Nor is the City funding any “urgent need activities.” CDBG funds will be used for public services, housing preservation, infrastructure improvements, CDBG administration, and fair housing services.

The City will also have an estimated $2,952,185 in HOME Program funds comprised of a FY 2022- 23 allocation of $311,628 and an unallocated funds carryover balance of $2,640,557. Since HUD has not released FY 2022 -23 HOME entitlement amounts to date, City staff will make the following adjustments to HOME activity allocations once the HOME entitlement amount is Annual Action Plan BALDWIN PARK 23
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
disclosed:
• HOME Housing Projects – All three proposed housing developments – Habitat for Humanity CHDO Project, Cesar Chavez Foundation Affordable Housing Project, and the Retirement Housing Foundation Senior Housing Project – will remain unchanged. • HOME Program Administration - If HOME funds are increased or decreased, then HOME administration funding will be adjusted accordingly but will not exceed the 10 percent. • HOME Unallocated Fund Balance – The unallocated HOME balance will be adjusted to absorb the remaining difference in allocation after HOME administration is adjusted accordingly.

The HOME entitlement amount could vary by + -10% of the FY 2021 -22 HOME allocation of $311,628, which was used to develop this 2022 -23 Annual Action Plan. The City will use HOME funds for administration of the HOME program and three potential affordable housing projects.

The City is also set to receive a special allocation of HOME funding as p art of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief legislation, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which is slated to provide funding for emergency rental relief, development of affordable rental housing for homeless or those at risk of homelessness, and homeowner foreclosure prevention. Baldwin Park is slated to receive $1,128,365 in HOME-ARP funds that may used for the development of affordable housing and supportive services for homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness.

The City will pursue competitive public and private grants for the development and preservation of programs, housing, and services and work to support legislation that promotes funding for future affordable housing during the Consolidated Plan period.

Table 6 - Expected Resources – Priority Table
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied To address housing and community development needs in Baldwin Park, the City will leverage its CDBG and HOME entitlement grants with a variety of funding resources in order to maximize the effectiveness of available funds. The City’s former Redevelopment Agency was the primary non- federal source of leveraged funds. With the elimination of the City’s Redevelopment Agency, the City’s ability to leverage federal funds has been substantially reduced. The City and its development partners will continue to seek new opportunities to leverage federal funds, such as the Low-Income Tax Credit program, the special allocations of HOME-ARP and CDBG-CV funding, and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 202 and 811 for the Elderly Program.

Annual Action Plan BALDWIN PARK 25
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
HUD requires HOME recipients (PJ’s) to match 25% of their HOME annual allocation. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.222, PJ’s satisfying the distress criteria established by the HOME Program regulations are provided a match reduction. The match reductions are g ranted due to fiscal distress, severe fiscal distress, and Presidential disaster declarations. The City of Baldwin Park has received a 50% match reduction from HUD, and therefore, will match 12.5% of HOME Funds using non- federal funds.

If appropriate, de scribe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan Publicly owned land or property located within Baldwin Park that may be used to address affordable housing needs identified in the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan are continually being sought for development. One such property located at 13167 Garvey Street was purchased in September 2021 by the City. The City may utilize the property for the development of affordable housing for those that are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Also, the City will continue to leverage its CDBG and HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources, including land conveyed to the City for the purpose of developing affordable housing. Land or property necessary to address the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan would need to be acquired using HUD grant funds or other resources.

Table 8 – Project Information
Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
Based on the Strategic Plan, Baldwin Park is allocating 100 percent of its CDBG funds (excluding CDBG Program Administration) as well as 100 percent of its non -administrative HOME funds for program year 2022-23 projects and activities that benefit low - and moderate-income people.

Due to the nature of the projects and activities to be undertaken, investments in projects concerning Neighborhood Services and Community Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements are limited to low - and moderate-income areas while other projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income limited clientele and are available citywide.

The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low - and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources and the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low -income people. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG and HOME funds through the 2022-23 Annual Action Plan to projects that provide additional affordable housing units, provide for the preservation of existing housing units, that provide services to low- and moderate-income people and those with special needs, and projects that prevent homelessness.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low -income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed For projects that address Neighborhood Services and Community Facilities and Infrastructure goals, assistance is primarily directed to the low - and moderate-income areas of the City. The low- and moderate-income Census Tract map will be used by the City when making funding determinations using CDBG and HOME funds in order to address the areas with the highest priority needs. However, in FY 2022 -23, the ADA Curb Ramps Project will be undertaken at locations throughout the City that benefit persons with disabilities. Therefore, in this instance, the infrastructure project will meet a low-mod clientele national objective (LMC).

Further, code enforcement activities will be undertaken in the Code Enforcement Improvement Area to provide concentrated and coordinated efforts to improve overall housing, infrastructure, park, and facility conditions. The area is 100% low- to moderate-income and was selected based on the observance and experience with violations of the Baldwin Park Municipal Code and the Property Standards Ordinanc e. The effort to identify deteriorated geographical areas was undertaken to meet the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines in order to utilize Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for special code enforcement and pr eservation activities in deteriorating areas. From this effort, staff identified a geographical area that met the criteria for a deteriorating area, as well as meeting the CDBG national objective of serving low - and modera te-income households. The area is bound by Ramona Boulevard to the north, the I-10 freeway to the south, Syracuse Avenue and Bess Avenue to the west, and Merced Avenue and Baldwin Park Boulevard to the east. Located in the following census tracts, the Code Enforcement Improvement Area is comprised of 22,825 persons, 16,280, or 71.33%, of which are of low – moderate income.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
Two high priority affordable housing needs are identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and two Strategic Plan goals are established to provide the framework necessary to invest CDBG and HOME funds to address the affordable housing needs of the City.

Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing
Based on evaluation of 2009 -2015 ACS and CHAS data in Tables 6 -11 of the Consolidated Plan , there is a high need for housing units affordable for households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. Of the 11,390 households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City, 7,704 are cost burdened households—meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing.

Additionally, 3,875 of the cost burdened households are considered severely cost burdened households—meaning that they pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Of the 3,875 severely cost burden ed households, 2,310 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 2,255 households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless.

The development of additional housing units affordable for low - and moderate -income households is rated as the highest priority need due to the number of severely cost burdened households in Baldwin Park. Additionally, responses to the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey support the development of additional affordable housing units in Baldwin Park.

Preserve the Supply of Affordable Housing
As the City's housing stock ages, a growing percentage of housing units may need rehabilitation to allow them to remain safe and habitable. The s ituation is of particular concern for low - and moderate-income homeowners who are generally not in a financial position to properly maintain their homes.

The age and condition of Baldwin Park’s housing stock is an important indicator of potential rehabilitation needs. Commonly, housing over 30 years of age needs some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work and plumbing systems. Housing over 15 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating / air- conditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing fixtures.

According to CHAS data showing the year that housing units were built categorized by owner and renter tenure:
• 8,350 or 83 percent of the 10,105 owner -occupied housing u nits in Baldwin Park were FY 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
BALDWIN PARK 48
built after 1950 or approximately 70 years ago
• Of the 10,105 owner-occupied units, 530 units or 5 percent were built since 2000 • 6,690 or 88 percent of the 7,565 renter-occupied housing units in Baldwin Park were built after 1950 or approximately 70 years ago
• 490 or 6.5 percent of the 7,565 renter-occupied housing units in Baldwin Park were built since 2000
The development of additional housing units affordable for low - and moderate -income households is rated as the highest priorit y need due to the number of severely cost burdened households in Baldwin Park. Additionally, responses to the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey support the development of additional affordable housing units in Baldwin Park.

The City has three affordable housing projects it is currently considering for 2022-23. First, the City has $285,000 in HOME funds to invest with the local Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity, to develop homeownership opportunities in Baldwin Park. On October 6, 2021, the Baldwin Park City Council approved an Affordable Homeownership Expansion Agreement with the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity to explore new home construction, acquisition an d rehabilitation of existing homes, and/or substantial rehabilitation/critical home repairs for existing homeowners. The agreement identified four funding sources up to $3,584,659 to develop homeownership housing including:
• Up to $2 million in American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds. • Up to $575,000 in Low/Mod funds.
• Up to $725,000 in Future Development Funds.
• Up to $285,659 in HOME Investment Partnership Act Funds.

BALDWIN PARK 49
Then on February 16, 2022, the City Council approved an acquisition and rehab agreement in form only and authorized the City’s Chief Executive Officer and the City Attorney to carry out all future actions pertaining to a homeownership project. While a site is yet to be determined, the City hopes to commit the $285,000 in HOME funding to such a project in FY 2022-23.

Next, Cesar Chavez Foundation has requested $500,000 from the City of Baldwin Park to assist in the development of 57 units at 4109 and 4113 Downing Avenue and 14617, 14625, and 14637 Ramona Boulevard, Baldwin Park. The project will consist of 25 one -bedroom units, 15 two - bedroom units, and 17 three -bedroom units on the one -acre site. The project will be leverage with 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). With a HOME investment of $500,000, the City anticipates that three units could be designated as HOME-restricted.

Finally, Retirement Housing Foundation (RHF) has also requested $500,000 in HOME funding from the City to help develop a site on the corner of Downing Avenue and Central Street. "Central Metro Place" will consist of 55 age restricted units (with one manager’s unit), onsite parking, an abundance of amenities and gardens all tailored towards seniors and the aging population. The City anticipates at least three HOME units with a subsidy of $500,000.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Baldwin Park Housing Authority (BPHA) was created and authorized under the State of California Housing Authority Law to develop and operate housing and housing programs for low- income families. The BPHA receives its funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the administration of the Section 8 tenant -based Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) assistance program for the cities of Baldwin Park, West Covina, El Monte, South El Monte, and Monrovia in t he County of Los Angeles. The data presented below is for Baldwin Park.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing BPHA will continue to serve the needs of residents through public housing and Section 8 vouchers. The BPHA will maintain a leasing rate of 98% to 100% and will continue to provide as many households as possible with improved living conditions and ease cost burdens associated with housing. The BPHA will also c reate more flexible and portable housing opportunities by converting the Baldwin Park Housing Authority’s public housing units to tenant -based voucher assistance. Finally, the BPHA will continue to provide forms and documents via its web portal to owners and tenants to increase the accessibility of information and streamline procedures with the goal of helping tenants and owners to comply with Section 8 rules and increase the availability of housing units.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
BPHA actively encourages residents to be involved in the organization through resident councils and active participation in housing au thority decisions via surveys and other forms of engagements. BPHA implemented the use of social media to improve and maximize the outreach to owners and tenants and increase the accessibility of information. Residents also maintain a resident advisory board.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through coordination of regional strategies carried out locally by government agencies and a wide variety of community-based organizations and faith-based groups. Consistent with this approach, the City of Baldwin Park supports the efforts of the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA), County Continuum of Care (CoC), and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout Los Angeles County. In alignment with this st rategy, the City will use CDBG funds to support local service providers as well as City run programs to prevent homelessness and to expand the supply of affordable housing in Baldwin Park for low - and moderate -income residents.

The City will invest CDBG funds during the 2022-23 program year to address high priority needs identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan including preventing homelessness and providing public services to special needs populations.

Describe the jurisdictions one -year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The CoC and its partner agencies will continue to provide a continuum of programs ranging from outreach, access centers, emergency shelters, safe havens, transitional and permanent housing, and prevention. More specifically, LAHSA, the County’s CoC, will continue efforts in 2022-23 to add emergency and transitional shelter housing units through expedited construction or rehabilitation of facilities to accommodate homeless persons. These efforts were supplemented by the Point-In-Time (PIT) Count that occurred within Los Angeles County from February 22, 2022 through February 24, 2022. The 2021 PIT Count was cancelled due to pandemic-related concerns and resumed in 2022. The results of the count are due later in 2022 and will help guide decision- making processes for aiding the homeless community.

The City of Baldwin Park, through coordination with the CoC and a network of homeless service providers, supports this continuum of services to address homelessness including, but not limited to, homelessness prevention programs, emergency shelter programs, and transitional housing.

The City will continue to work with the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless , a nonprofit organization, to support temporary shelter, winter shelter, and referral services for the homeless community. The partnership will focus on providing critical and immediate intervention for unsheltered persons, to include assessment, intake, referral, and transportation to resources. The City will continue to use its CDBG public service funds to support local service providers that connect the most vulnerable individuals and families, chronically homeless, and people at risk of becoming homele ss to appropriate resources.

FY 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
BALDWIN PARK 53
Specifically, as identified in the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City of Baldwin Park will continue to provide CDBG public service funds to the following organizations:
• East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless
• Domestic Violence Advocate
• Church of the Redeemer Food Bank
• Oath for County Foundation
Support for these organizations will strive to reduce the effects or eliminate homelessness within the City and to provide public services for residents with special needs.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons In October 2018, the Baldwin Park City Council approved Resolution No. 2018-298 that declared a shelter crisis pursuant to SB 850 to the Los Angeles County Continuum of Care (CoC). The City Council also authorized staff to collaborate with the Tri-City Cohort Partnership with the Cities of El Monte and South El Monte to implement homeless plans. The Cohort Partnership also submitted a grant application in accordance with the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative and the Home for Good guidelines. Per the 2021 -2029 Housing Element, Baldwin Park will further implement recommendations from the Tri-City Cohort Homelessness Plan that began in 2021.

The Housing Element also identified Program H4-7 that focuses on allowing the establishment of transitional and supportive housing . To that end, o n November 20, 2021, the City opened Esperanza Villa which is a 25 -unit Tiny Home Village for bridge housing and supportive services.

The Cohort Partnership also collaborated with Union Station Homeless Services to launch a local homeless prevention/diversion program supplemented with engagement with property owners and landlords to increase interim and permanent housing opportunities.

The City also supports local nonprofit agencies that provide emergency rental assistance and transitional housing needs for homeless or those at risk of becoming homeless. To address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons, the City supp orts the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless that provides transitional housing, emergency assistance and winter shelter assistance to homeless families or families at risk of homelessness.

Each year, the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition fo r the Homeless serves approximately 100 unduplicated people.

Additionally, the City supports Domestic Violence Advocate and the YWCA of San Gabriel Valley, two organizations that provide emergency shelter and support services to victims of domestic violence. These programs provide a number of services to include but not limited to supportive services for survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence, batterer’s program, and anger management, and assistance in guiding victims through the criminal justice system.

The City is also set to receive a special allocation of HOME funding as part of the $1.9 trillion FY 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
BALDWIN PARK 54
coronavirus relief legislation, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which is slated to provide funding for emergency rental relief, development o f affordable rental housing for homeless or those at risk of homelessness, and homeowner foreclosure prevention. Baldwin Park is slated to receive $1,128,365 in HOME -ARP funds that may be used for the development of affordable housing and supportive services for homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness. Baldwin Park is considering using the HOME -ARP allocation to develop a site located at 13167 Garvey Street that was purchased by the City in September 2021 to house homeless persons in tiny homes.

Lastly, the City of Baldwin Park supports the efforts of the LA CoC and its member organizations that address homelessness. These efforts will grow as HUD awarded over $155 million in March 2022 to the LA CoC for FY 2021 renewal and new projects related to homeless mitigation efforts.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and indepe ndent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
To address the needs of homeless families, families with children, veterans and their families, the City supports the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless, which provides transitional housing, counseling a nd case management to families at risk of homelessness. Each year, the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless serves hundreds of unduplicated people through its transitional housing program. When paired with financial counseling, career coaching and other available case management services, the agency makes certain that families are ready to succeed in their transition to permanent housing.

Furthermore, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022 -006 on February 16, 2022 which approved an agreement between the City of Baldwin Park and the San Gabriel Valley Reg ional Housing Trust to provide homeless housing and related services to homeless families on city - owned property. The site will provide a minimum of 50 beds for homeless families for a two-year period under the Agreement. The site will provide case management services, meals, and continuous security, in addition to necessary personal sanitation facilities.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
The Los Angeles County CoC’s countywide protocols and procedures prevent people from being discharged from public and private institutions of care into homelessness. The protocols and FY 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
BALDWIN PARK 55
procedures will help decrease the number of persons being discharged int o homelessness by at least 10 percent annually. Furthermore, the CoC coordinates with state and local agencies, and privately funded institutions of care to develop improved programs to assist at-risk persons with emergency financial assistance. Examples i nclude short -term utility, rent, childcare, and basic needs payment assistance. Furthermore, the CoC supports pre -release planning for persons leaving state prisons and state mental health hospitals to prevent the release of persons to homelessness. Lastly, efforts are underway to improve resources to help youth aging out of foster care to transition to independence and to prevent them from falling into homelessness. Baldwin Park strives to prevent homelessness in populations vulnerable or at risk of homele ssness through the use of CDBG and HOME funds that offer housing vouchers, food programs, legal advocacy, and counseling services.

As part of these efforts, the City approved an agreement on February 16, 2022, with the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity, Inc. to implement an Acquisition and Rehabilitation Housing Program using HOME Investment Partnership Act Program Funds to create homeownership opportunities. Habitat for Humanity will bring purchase transactions before the City Council for approval to include such units in the program.

Lastly, with limited CDBG and HOME resources available, the City is investing CDBG public service funds in public service activities such as the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless to prevent homelessness in Baldwin Park.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing. Barriers can include land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environment al protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.

The primary barriers to affordable housing in Baldwin Park are housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exce eds the supply and insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as la nd use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
On October 29, 2021, the City submitted its 2021 -2029 Housing Element to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review . During the Housing Element update process, the City evaluated significant public policies affecting affordable housing development such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges and growth limitations. Based on this evaluation, the City determined that it has taken all appropriate and necessary steps to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may have been a barrier to affordable housing. Moreover, the City is actively engaged with affordable housing developers concerning the siting of additional future affordable housing and ensuring that the entitlement process runs smoothly from inceptio n to completion. The Housing Element addresses the City’s provisions for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing. The following policies in the City's 2021 -2029 Housing Element specifically address the variety of regulatory and financial tools to be used by the City to remove any potential barriers and facilitate the provision of affordable housing:

Policy H2.1. Facilitate housing development of housing affordable to lower -income households by providing technical assistance, regulatory incentives and concessions, and financial resources, as funding permits .

affordable to persons with disabilities, seniors, large families, female-headed households with children, and people experiencing homelessness.

Policy H2. 3. Establish partnerships with private developers and non -profit housing corporations to assist Baldwin Park in meeting its housing goals.

Policy H2. 5. Build open existing efforts to convert suitable hotels and motels to permanent affordable housing, continue to pursue opportunities to acquire suitable hotels and motels.

Policy H4.1. Periodically review City regulations, ordinances, departmental processing procedures, and residential fees related to rehabilitation and/or construction to assess their impact on housing costs, and revise as appropriate.

Policy H4.2. Utilize density bon uses, fee reductions, and other regulatory incentives, as available and appropriate, to minimize the effect of governmental constraints.

Policy H4.3. Continue to identify and promote processes and procedures that streamline residential development.

Policy H4.4. Monitor State and federal housing-related legislation, and update City plans, ordinances, and processes as appropriate to remove or reduce governmental constraints.

Policy H4.5. Facilitate coordination between lending institutions, the real est ate and development community, and the City to better understand and address non - governmental constraints and facilitate production of affordable housing.

Policy H4.6. Eliminate zoning and other regulatory barriers to the placement and operation of housing facilities for the homeless and special needs populations in appropriate locations throughout the City.

Introduction
In the implementation of the 2022-23 Annual Action Plan, the City will continue to invest CDBG and HOME resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead -based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty -level families, develop institutional structure , and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City of Baldwin Park has also identified long-range strategies, activities, and funding sources to implement the goals in the areas of housing and community development services for the benefit of the residents.
• The City will continue to seek other resources and funding sources to address the biggest obstacle to meeting the community's underserved needs, which is the lack of funding and/or inadequate funding.
• The City will look for innovative and creative ways to make its delivery systems more comprehensive and will continue existing partnerships with both for -profit and not-for- profit organizations.
• The City has structured its use of HOME and CDBG funds to concentrate on affordable rental housing and rental rehabilitation programs.
• The City is currently addressing certain housing needs with federal funds such as availability, condition, and fair housing practices to prevent homelessness. • The City is also addressing community development needs with federal funds such as infrastructure, improving public facilities and code enforcement.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In the implementation of the 202 2-23 Annual Action Plan, the City plans to invest HOME funds to expand the supply of affordable homeownership and rental housing and will use CDBG and HOME funds to preserve and maintain existing affordable housing through the City of Baldwin Park Home Improvement Grant and Loan Programs.

First, the City has authority to invest up to $285,000 on an acquisition/rehabilitation of homeownership housing project in partnership with the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity.

While a site has not been selected yet, the City Council has already authori zed agreements in form only to expedite a project when the opportunity presents itself.

The City will also be allocating $500,000 in HOME to both the Cesar Chavez Foundation and the Retirement Housing Foundation for development of affordable rental housi ng in Baldwin Park.

BALDWIN PARK 62
With this level of HOME investment, at least three units at each project will be restricted at HOME-rents during the affordability period of at least 20 years.

Finally , partnerships with the Tri-City Cohort Partnership and San Gabrie l Valley Habitat for Humanity will seek to develop affordable housing, including the development of 12 units of affordable homes at 12779 Torch Street.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As a means of better protecting children and families against lead poisoning, in 1999 HUD instituted revised lead-based paint regulations focused around the following five activities:
• Notification
• Lead Hazard Evaluation
• Lead Hazard Reduction
• Ongoing Maintenance
• Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level The City has implemented HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires federally funded rehabilitation projects to address lead hazards. Lead-based paint abatement is part of the City's Home Improvement Grant and Loan Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation/New Construction of Affordable Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for rehabilitation are tested if not statutorily exempt. Elimination or encapsulation remedies are implemented if lead is detected, and is paid for through CDBG or HOME funds, as appropriate.

To reduce lead -based paint hazards in existing housing, all housing rehabilitation projects supported with federal funds are tested for lead and asbestos. When a l ead-based paint hazard is present, the City or the City’s sub -grantee contracts with a lead consultant for abatement or implementation of interim controls, based on the findings of the report. Tenants are notified of the results of the test and the clearan ce report. In Section 8 programs, staff annually inspects units on the existing program and new units as they become available. In all cases, defective paint surfaces must be repaired. In situations where a unit is occupied by a household with children under the age of six, corrective actions will include testing and abatement if necessary, or abatement without testing.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The 2020 US Census revealed that approximately 13% of residents within Baldwin Park fall below the poverty line. The implementation of CDBG and HOME activities meeting the goals established in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and this Annual Action Plan will help to reduce th e number of poverty-level families by:

FY 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
BALDWIN PARK 63
• Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low - and moderate-income households.
• Supporting activities that preserve the supply of decent housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households.
• Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness.
• Supporting housing preservation programs that assure low-income households have a safe, decent, and appropriate place to live.
• Supporting public services for low - and moderate-income residents including those with special needs and those at -risk of homelessness offered by nonprofit organizations receiving CDBG funds.
• Promoting economic opportunity for low - and moderate -income residents who own microenterprise businesses (five or fewer employees) or who are starting a new microenterprise business.

In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start provide pathways out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally, in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKs, Cal Fresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi-Cal. Together, these programs provide in dividuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare, and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition, and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence, and mental illness.

Finally, the City will fully comply with Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act, which helps foster local economic development and individual self -sufficiency. This set of regulations require that to the greatest extent feasible, the City will provide job training, employment, and contracting opportunities for low or very low -income residents in connection with housing and public construction projects.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional delivery system in Baldwin Park is high -functioning and collaborative — particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable community-based organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. Affordable housing development and preservation activities will be carried out by the Housing Division of the Community Development Department in partnership with housing developers and contractors. Public service activities will be carried out by nonprofit organizations and City Departments to achieve the Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals. The Housing Division and the Public Works Department will work together with contractors to implement public FY 2022/23 Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)

facility improvement projects.

As a key component, the City is developing and expanding institutional structure to meet underserved needs by funding a wide variety of services targeted to youth, seniors, special needs populations, and individuals or families at risk of homelessness with CDBG public service grants.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will conti nue consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low - and moderate- income residents in Baldwin Park. Participation in the Tri-City Cohort Partnership will aid in these actions to better leverage resources and service agencies with combined funding from Baldwin Park, El Monte, and South El Monte.

Discussion
In the implementation of the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.
