BALDWIN PARK 83

Elderly Residents:

Baldwin Park provides affordable housing options for seniors, including independent living communities and senior apartments. A key priority for elderly residents is proximity to healthcare services, accessible transportation, and assistance with daily activities such as meal preparation, shopping, and housekeeping.

Many seniors require accessible housing modifications, including grab bars and ramps, to ensure safety and accommodate aging-related disabilities. For low-income seniors, stable housing options are essential to maintaining independence and well-being.

Persons with Disabilities (Mental, Physical, Developmental):

Individuals with disabilities in Baldwin Park require accessible, affordable housing with supportive services that promote stability and independence. Many rely on subsidized housing options due to limited income, while those needing higher levels of care may reside in community -based residential facilities. Critical supportive services include case management, accessible transportation, in -home assistance, and vocational support programs to help individuals maintain their quality of life. Ensuring complian ce with ADA standards and increasing access to supportive housing resources are priorities for serving this population.

Persons with Alcohol or Drug Addictions:

Individuals recovering from substance use disorders benefit from sober living environments and structured supportive housing in Baldwin Park. These housing options provide substance -free settings that integrate counseling, peer support, and employment services to promote long-term recovery. Close access to healthcare and mental health treatment is essential, as is stable employment, which plays a significant role in preventing relapse. Programs that foster connections with family and social support networks further contribute to successful recovery outcomes.

Persons with HIV/AIDS and Their Families:

Stable and affordable housing is a critical need for individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Baldwin Park, as housing security directly impacts health outcomes. Supportive housing for this population must include affordable rent options, accessible healthcare, mental health services, and case management to ensure continuity of care. Many individuals with HIV/AIDS also require specialized housing accommodations to manage health-related needs, including accessibility modifications. Coordination with regional healthcare providers ensures that individuals receive comprehensive medical and supportive services to maintain stable housing and improve their quality of life.

Unaccompanied Youth:

Unaccompanied youth experiencing homelessness in Baldwin Park require emergency shelter, transitional housing, and access to education and job training programs. These youth often need life skills training, including financial literacy, employment readines s, and mental health counseling, to transition successfully into independent adulthood. Supportive housing that integrates mentorship programs,

workforce development, and behavioral health services is key to ensuring unaccompanied youth achieve stability and avoid long-term homelessness.

Residents of Affordable Housing:

Baldwin Park does not have large -scale public housing developments, but the Housing Authority of the City of Baldwin Park (HACBP) administers affordable housing programs, including the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program and McNeill Manor, a 12 -unit senior housing development. Residents of these programs often require rental assistance, supportive services, and access to transportation, healthcare, and employment resources to maintain stability.

These supportive housing services and facilities aim to provide stable, accessible, and affordable living environments for Baldwin Park’s most vulnerable populations, ensuring that all residents can lead independent and fulfilling lives.

Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing.

Baldwin Park is committed to supporting individuals transitioning from mental and physical health institutions by ensuring they have access to appropriate supportive housing and services.

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment Public policies at the local, regional, and state levels significantly impact affordable housing and residential investment in Baldwin Park. While some initiatives aim to promote housing development, certain policies have inadvertently created challenges.

Local Policies:
• Zoning Regulations: Baldwin Park's zoning laws have historically emphasized single-family residences, limiting the availability of land for higher -density, affordable housing projects. This restriction hampers the development of multifamily units essential for low- and moderate-income families. • Permit Approval Processes: Complex and lengthy permitting procedures can deter developers from pursuing affordable housing projects in Baldwin Park, leading to reduced investment in such developments.

Regional Policies:
• Los Angeles County Measures: Regional policies, such as the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's transit -oriented development guidelines, aim to increase housing near transit hubs. However, these measures can inadvertently raise property values and rents in targeted areas, potentially displacing low-income residents and reducing affordable housing options.

State Policies:
• California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): While CEQA is designed to protect the environment, its requirements can lead to delays and increased costs for housing projects. Developers may face prolonged review periods and potential litigation, which can discourage investment in affordable housing.
• Costa–Hawkins Rental Housing Act: This state law limits rent control measures, allowing landlords to set rents at market rates once a tenant vacates a unit. While intended to encourage investment in rental properties, it has also led to increased rents, affecting housing affordability for low- and moderate-income residents.

Impact on Baldwin Park:

These policies collectively contribute to a constrained housing market in Baldwin Park, characterized by limited affordable housing availability and increased competition for existing units. The challenges in developing new affordable housing exacerbate issues such as overcrowding and housing instability among low-income residents.

Recent Developments:

In response to these challenges, Baldwin Park has taken steps to address affordable housing needs. The city has updated its Housing Element for the 2021-2029 planning period, identifying strategies to conserve

Consolidated Plan

BALDWIN PARK 89

existing affordable housing, provide adequate housing sites, assist in developing affordable housing, remove governmental constraints, and promote equal housing opportunities.

While these efforts indicate progress, the cumulative impact of existing policies continues to present challenges to affordable housing and residential investment in Baldwin Park. Addressing these issues requires ongoing collaboration between local, region al, and state entities to create a more supportive environment for affordable housing development.

Business Activity
Baldwin Park has a notable surplus of workers compared to available jobs, with approximately 33,842 residents participating in the workforce but only 20,595 jobs available within the City. This disparity suggests that a substantial number of Baldwin Park residents commute to jobs outside the City, contributing to increased reliance on regional transportation networks and potentially reducing community engagement and economic activity within Baldwin Park itself.

This dynamic ratio highlights the need for strategies to expand Baldwin Park’s local job inventory, particularly by attracting industries that align with the skills and needs of the City’s workforce. Increasing local employment opportunities could help retain more workers within the City, reducing commuting burdens, improving residents’ quality of life, and strengthening the local economy. Addressing this imbalance may also support broader goals of sustainability by minimizing environmental impacts associated with long commutes.

Unemployment
There are various methods for measuring unemployment, each with unique advantages and limitations.

The U.S. Census provides annual unemployment data by census tract, enabling detailed geographic comparisons across smaller areas. However, this data is typically two or more years old, reducing its relevance for real -time analysis. Alternatively, the Bureau of Labo r Statistics (BLS) provides monthly unemployment data, which is more current but only available at the citywide level, limiting its ability to capture localized trends within specific neighborhoods or tracts.

downward to a low of 4.3% in April, reflecting a period of employment gains. However, unemployment peaked at 5.6% in August, potentially due to seasonal job reductions or broader economic challenges.

Following this peak, the rate steadily declined, ending the year at 5.0% in December.

These trends suggest that Baldwin Park's labor market is sensitive to both seasonal employment patterns and broader economic shifts. The City’s unemployment dynamics underline the importance of initiatives to attract sustainable employment opportunities, reduce seasonal volatility, and support workforce stability.

Median Earnings by Educational Attainment
Educational attainment plays a critical role in determining earning potential and financial stability in Baldwin Park. Individuals with higher levels of education consistently earn significantly more than those with lower educational attainment. For example, a person with a Bachelor’s degree typically earns just under twice what someone without a high school diploma earns. Similarly, individuals with a graduate or professional degree earn over twice the income as those with a high school education.

This disparity is even more pronounced over a lifetime. A person with a Bachelor’s degree working from age 23 to 62 can expect to earn around $2.2 million, compared to $1. 5 million for someone with a high school diploma working from age 18 to 62 resulting in an earnings difference of approximately $700,000.

This gap significantly impacts wealth accumulation, as higher earnings often translate to increased opportunities for homeownership, investments, and retirement savings, further solidifying financial security for those with higher education levels.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction?
Education and Health Care Services are the largest employment sectors for Baldwin Park residents, employing approximately 21% of all workers living in the City. This is followed by Manufacturing, which accounts for 14% of employed residents. Within Baldwin Park itself, Education and Health Care Services also make up most of the local job opportunities, providing 45% of the total jobs available though only

How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
The current workforce skills and education levels in Baldwin Park do not fully align with local employment opportunities, leading to some labor force imbalances. While the 2023 BLS unemployment rate was 5.0%, indicating a relatively stable labor market, many residents must seek employment outside the City due to mismatches between available jobs and workforce skills. The education and healthcare sector represents the largest share of local jobs, yet many Baldwin Park residents are not employed in these fiel ds, either due to a lack of qualifications or outside workers commuting in to fill these roles.

Meanwhile, many Baldwin Park residents work in construction, manufacturing, and professional services, but local job availability in these industries is limited, forcing them to commute to other cities for employment. Similarly, fields such as finance, ins urance, and information technology offer few local job opportunities, despite a moderate number of residents possessing skills in these sectors. This disconnect suggests an opportunity to expand business development efforts to attract industries that align more closely with Baldwin Park’s workforce.

The City's labor force consists largely of high school graduates and individuals with some college or an associate’s degree, yet many higher -paying local jobs require additional certifications or specialized training. While the low unemployment rate suggests st rong workforce participation, addressing gaps in job alignment could create greater economic stability for residents. Expanding workforce training programs in high-demand fields such as healthcare, education, finance, and technology could help more residents secure employment locally rather than commuting elsewhere.

To strengthen Baldwin Park’s economic sustainability, workforce initiatives should focus on upskilling residents to meet employer needs, while business attraction strategies should target industries that offer high-quality jobs.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
HUD identifies four specific data points that constitute “housing problems”: cost burden, overcrowding, lack of complete plumbing facilities , and lack of complete kitchen facilities. In Baldwin Park, housing problems are rare except for being cost burdened. According to the 2019-2023 ACS 5-Year Estimates, the citywide rate of each is:
● Cost Burden Homeowners: 34.3%
● Cost Burden Renters: 57.6%
● Overcrowding: 19.9%
● Lack of Complete Plumbing Facilities: 0.5%
● Lack of Complete Kitchen Facilities: 1.0%
There are no areas of concentration that have two or more housing problems that are substantially higher than the citywide average. For this analysis, HUD’s definition of “disproportionate” was used to identify areas substantially higher: 10 percentage points higher than the rate for the jurisdiction, as a whole.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") For the purposes of this analysis a “racial or ethnic concentration” will be any block group where a racial or ethnic minority group makes up 10 percent or more than the citywide rate. According to the 2019-2023 ACS 5-Year estimates the racial and ethnic breakdown of Baldwin Park’s population is:
● White, non-Hispanic: 3.0%
● Black, non-Hispanic: 0.8%
● American Indian and Alaska Native, non-Hispanic: 0.2% ● Asian, non-Hispanic: 22.0%
● Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, non-Hispanic: 0.1% ● Other Race, non-Hispanic: 0.1%
● Two or More Races, non-Hispanic: 0.8%
● Hispanic or Latino: 73.0%
Hispanic/Latino households make up the vast majority of Baldwin Park’s population, accounting for 73% of households. There is one census tract within the City considered to have a "concentration" of Hispanic/Latino residents which requires there to be 83% or more households comprised of this ethnicity within these areas. The Hispanic/Latino population is relatively evenly distributed across the rest of the City. Additionally, there is one tract with a concentration of Asian households in Baldwin Park.

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? Low-income areas of Baldwin Park exhibit distinct housing and economic patterns, with renter -occupied units being more common in some areas due to affordability challenges and limited homeownership opportunities. According to Baldwin Park’s Housing Element Update, neighborhoods with higher concentrations of low-income households tend to experience housing cost burdens, overcrowding, and limited access to newer housing stock. Many homes in these areas require rehabilitation or upgrades to meet modern safety and efficiency standards. Additionally, based on information from the City’s Economic Development Division, employment opportunities in these neighborhoods are primarily service-sector and light industrial jobs, which can limit income growth and long-term financial stability.

Public transportation access varies, with some transit-dependent areas experiencing long commute times to employment hubs in Los Angeles County. The City’s Complete Streets Policy is designed to address transit and pedestrian challenges, but certain low -income neighborhoods still experience barriers to mobility and access to economic opportunities. These conditions emphasize the need for affordable housing development, infrastructure improvements, and workforce training programs to improve economic mobility for residents.

Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? Despite economic challenges, Baldwin Park has several strong community assets that serve as anchors for economic and social well-being in these neighborhoods:
• Baldwin Park Community Center – Serves as a hub for social services, workforce training, and community programs, offering job readiness workshops, youth engagement programs, and rental assistance resources. According to the City’s Recreation & Community Services Department, the center plays a crucial role in providing stability for vulnerable populations. • Recreational and Green Spaces – The City maintains multiple parks, sports facilities, and community centers that offer youth engagement, fitness programs, and family -friendly activities. These spaces provide residents with opportunities for recreation, community building, and public events. • Baldwin Park Transit and Mobility Programs – The Dial-A-Ride program and local transit services help connect residents to essential services, job centers, and educational institutions. According to Baldwin Park’s Public Works Department, expanding transpor tation access is a key priority in ensuring equitable economic mobility for residents of low-income neighborhoods. • Local Business and Workforce Training Initiatives – Programs such as the NextGen Youth Workforce Program and partnerships with community colleges provide training in high -demand industries.

According to Baldwin Park Unified School District, workforce train ing initiatives play a key role in bridging the gap between low-income residents and sustainable employment opportunities.

These community assets serve as pillars of support, fostering economic empowerment and social stability within Baldwin Park’s low-income neighborhoods.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate-Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)

Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.

Internet access is a critical component of modern communication and information-sharing, enabling users to benefit from the growing interconnectedness of business, education, commerce, and everyday activities. Reliable internet connectivity has become essential for success in today’s economic landscape.

Communities without broadband access face significant challenges in keeping pace with the rest of the country. The lack of broadband infrastructure limits residents' ability to access educational and entrepreneurial opportunities, which is especially concerning in low - to moderate-income (LMI) areas where economic opportunities are often limited.

Research from the Pew Research Center underscores the vital role that high -speed internet plays in enhancing educational and employment opportunities, particularly in underserved communities. The center's studies have shown that individuals with reliable broadband access are more likely to engage in online learning, apply for jobs, and participate in economic activities that can improve their quality of life.

Similarly, reports from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) highlight the direct correlation between broadband availability and economic development. The FCC's findings indicate that regions with robust internet infrastructure experience higher rates of job creation, educational attainment, and overall community growth.

Baldwin Park, California enjoys comprehensive broadband coverage across residential areas, including LMI areas. The average Baldwin Park household has access to two (2) broadband-quality internet service options. According to ISPReports.org, the City benefits from a variety of infrastructure options, including cable, fiber, fixed wireless, and DSL . Ninety-two percent (92%) of Baldwin Park households have an internet connection with the city offering 99.82% availability. Of those households, at least 69% have fiber, cable, or DSL, 11% have satellite, 0% are still on dial-up, and 2% of households have internet but don’t pay for a subscription because it’s subsidized by the Affordable Connectivity Program. The map in this section illustrates broadband availability throughout Baldwin Park, defined as advertised internet speeds of 768 kilobits per second or higher.

Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.

To ensure high-quality broadband service, it is crucial to foster competition among service providers. A lack of competition, where a single provider dominates an area, diminishes the incentive to deliver reliable and consistent services. According to ISPReports.org, Baldwin Park is served by eleven (11) internet providers offering residential service. Among these, Spectrum and Frontier (Fiber) stand out as the leading providers in terms of coverage and speed. Internet providers throughout the City include:

Spectrum (Cable)
Frontier (Fiber and DSL)
EarthLink (Fixed Wireless)
T-Mobile Home Internet (Fixed Wireless)
Verizon (Fixed Wireless)
AT&T (Fixed Wireless)
DISH (Satellite)
DirecTV (Satellite)
HughesNet (Satellite)
Viasat (Satellite)
Starlink (Satellite)
The map below shows the number of broadband service providers by census tract. The average Baldwin Park household has access to two (2) broadband -quality internet service options. While this level of competition offers residents some choice, expanding the number of available providers could further drive competitive pricing and service improvements. The strong subscription rates among residents indicate a high demand for internet ac cess, underscoring the importance of continued investment in broadband infrastructure to enhance service quality, affordability, and accessibility.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)

Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.

Baldwin Park, California has historically faced various natural hazard risks, including extreme heat, inland flooding, droughts, and earthquakes, as outlined in the 2020 County of Los Angeles All-Hazards Mitigation Plan (AHMP). Research from the AHMP indicates that extreme weather patterns are expected to become increasingly common over the next century. Average summer temperatures are projected to rise significantly, with inland areas experiencing a greater frequency of days exceeding 100°F and regional temperatures increasing by 2.5°F to 8°F. Drier conditions are expected to intensify the frequency and severity of wildfires. Furthermore, sea level rise poses a substantial threat to Los Angeles County, with 3 feet of rise anticipated to flood 2.25 square miles by 2050–2060 and 6 feet of rise projected to inundate

6.13 square miles by 2100. According to the FEMA National Risk Index, Los Angeles County, which encompasses Baldwin Park , is particularly vulnerable to hazards such as earthquakes, heat waves, landslides, lightning, tornadoes, and wildfires.

While Baldwin Park is considered an inland city, it may still experience indirect coastal effects. Rising sea levels and increased storm activity could lead to population displacement from coastal areas, and an influx of new residents to Baldwin Park could drive up housing costs, reduce job availability, and strain local resources. As climate-related hazards pose greater threats to coastal regions, stable inland communities like Baldwin Park may see an increase in climate migrants from more vulnerable areas, further impacting state infrastructure, housing, and resources.

The AHMP highlights that climate change will impact all residents and areas of Los Angeles County. It projects a significant increase in the number of extreme heat days, with inland areas experiencing temperatures exceeding 100°F more frequently. These ext reme heat events can lead to heat -related illnesses, such as heat stroke, and exacerbate respiratory issues due to increased air pollution.

Additionally, hotter and drier conditions are expected to intensify the frequency and severity of wildfires, particularly in High and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ). Wildfire poses substantial risks, including the destruction of homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure; disruption of transportation and utilities; and threats to human and animal life.

These factors reflect the broader impact of climate change on Baldwin Park ’s natural hazard profile, affecting public health, infrastructure, and resource management. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) highlights that climate change, along with other environmental and human -made stressors, exacerbates existing h ealth threats and introduces new ones. To counter these challenges, proactive measures are essential for fostering community resilience in an evolving climate landscape.

California's Department of Water Resources implements a Climate Action Plan to address mitigation, adaptation, and consistency in climate change analysis through three integrated phases. It establishes greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and strategies, aligns climate change impact assessments with DWR’s planning activities, a nd evaluates vulnerabilities to inform resilience efforts. The plan prioritizes infrastructure upgrades, operational improvements, and habitat management to enhance long-

BALDWIN PARK 113

term sustainability while incorporating the latest regulations and policies. To complement this plan, Governor Newsom leads state initiatives targeting net -zero emissions by 2045, carbon capture technology, and equitable investment in sustainable infrastructure.

Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.

Low- and moderate-income households, whether renting or owning, face heightened vulnerability to the impacts of climate change and natural disasters due to their limited financial resources. Sudden increases in electricity or housing costs can quickly push these residents into precarious living situations, increasing their risk of homelessness or forcing them to live in substandard conditions. The 2024 America’s Rental Housing Study from the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University underscores this growing threat, revealing that escalating insurance premiums and the withdrawal of coverage by providers in high- risk markets complicate efforts to secure adequate protection against weather - and climate -related losses. Additionally, the study highlights the obstacles property owners encounter when trying to invest in climate resilience measures, given the stagnation in operating income growth.

The 2021 EPA study on Climate Change and Social Vulnerability in the United States further illustrates these challenges, showing that low -income individuals are more likely to live in areas facing significant increases in mortality rates due to extreme temperature changes, as well as experiencing the highest rates of labor hour losses among weather-exposed workers. Rural communities are particularly disadvantaged, often lacking access to public support during emergencies and having fewer resources to repair or fortify their homes against climate -related damage. Addressing these vulnerabilities is essential for building resilience among low - and moderate -income households, who are increasingly at risk from climate change, threatening their safety, stability, and overall well-being.

The AHMP for Los Angeles County identifies vulnerable populations within the county, including individuals who face challenges accessing medical care, maintaining independence, or require supervision. One of the most at -risk groups is people experiencing h omelessness, with nearly 60,000 individuals affected in the region. The AHMP acknowledges that additional vulnerable groups will be recognized in future updates, particularly with new data from the 2020 U.S. Census on factors like socioeconomic status, disability, housing, and transportation.

FEMA’s National Risk Index identifies Los Angeles County as having a very low level of community resilience, indicating that its residents have a very low ability to prepare for, adapt to, and recover from natural hazards. This assessment encompasses six broad categories: social, economic, community capital, institutional, infrastructural, and environmental factors at the county level. The map included in this section illustrates FEMA’s qualitative risk to natural hazards at the census tract level in Baldwin Park, providing an intuitive way to gauge community risk based on Expected Annual Loss (EAL), Social Vulnerability, and Community Resilience scores.

Risk levels throughout the City vary from “relatively low" to "very high" risk. This indicates that several areas may need more targeted attention and resources to address specific hazards, making them more vulnerable than the rest of the City. These two indexes measure risk from different perspectives—FEMA’s

Consolidated Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
BALDWIN PARK 114

risk index evaluates a community's ability to respond to hazards (resilience), while the City’s qualitative assessment concentrates on the likelihood and severity of those hazards. This dual approach ensures that resources are allocated where they are most needed, promoting both preparedness and targeted intervention. The City must continue to address these geographic challenges by anticipating, planning, and adapting to the risks associated with climate change and the potential demographic shifts affecting vulnerable communities.

Baldwin Park is dedicated to educating and preparing the public for multi -hazard mitigation through a variety of channels. This includes the city’s Emergency Services website and social media accounts.

Additionally, the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management website provides vital information, such as emergency preparedness resources and Alert LA County Emergency Notification system. The Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) for Lo s Angeles County also provides valuable resources to enhance community disaster resilience. To effectively tackle the increasing impacts of climate change, ongoing investment is crucial for maintaining and expanding these programs and resources.

Based on land and development costs, it is more cost effective to subsidize the development of affordable multifamily rental units than to subsidize home purchase loans. Due to resource scarcity, investments in the creation of new affordable housing will focus on rental housing units where other sources of funds may be leveraged.

Rehabilitation 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 provides that all economic segments of the community have the means to ensure that their property meets local standards and live in decent housing.

The City will consider investing CDBG and HOME funds in a Housing Rehabilitation Program during this Consolidated Plan cycle.

Acquisition,
including
preservation
Many Baldwin Park households are cost burdened and likely eligible for newly acquired and rehabilitated affordable housing units. Preserving existing affordable housing is critical to maintaining a robust affordable housing stock in the City. The City will continue to use HUD resources to prioritize the preservation of existing affordable housing in the City. When possible, the City will use HOME resources and other federal and local resources to prioritize the preservation of affordable housing.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied.

The City of Baldwin Park demonstrates a strategic approach to addressing housing and community development needs by leveraging various funding resources alongside its CDBG and HOME entitlement grants. The City and its development partners actively seek new opportunities to leverage federal funds.

This includes participating in programs such as the Low-Income Tax Credit program, seeking special allocations like HOME-ARP and CDBG-CV funding, and exploring opportunities under HUD's Section 202 and 811 for the Elderly Program.

HUD requires HOME recipients to match 25% of their HOME annual allocation. However, the City of Baldwin Park has received a 50% match reduction from HUD due to fiscal distress. This means the City is required to match only 12.5% of HOME funds using non-federal funds. The City has been utilizing a match surplus derived from prior contributions by the former Baldwin Park Redevelopment Agency in developing affordable housing developments. As of June 2024, the City's match surplus amounts to approximately $3,885,831. This surplus serves as a valuable resource for meeting match requirements and advancing affordable housing initiatives.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs.

Publicly owned land or property located within Baldwin Park that may be used to address affordable housing needs is continually being sought for development. One such property located at 13167 Garvey Street was purchased in September 2021 by the City. The City utilized the property for the development of affordable housing for those that are homeless or at risk of homelessness. 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.

Table 43 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary

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).

The City of Baldwin Park’s public service programs will focus on the provision of services to address the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals, families with children, veterans and their families and unaccompanied youth through the provision of CDBG funds to local nonprofit service providers. Often, the primary obstacle to delivering services to homeless populations is the homeless individual’s willingness to seek assistance and housing. To address this problem through direct outreach and engagement with linkages to available resources in the City and the region. The City will work with the regional County CoC that is specially trained in solving homeless-related problems and knowledgeable about local and regional resources.

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.

Baldwin Park has a long track record of successful partnerships among public and private sector entities. City staff consistently work closely with the other organizations to improve regulatory compliance, monitoring, cooperation and partnerships among agencies and the technical capacity of organizations involved in project delivery.

The single most significant gap in the service delivery system remains the lack of available funding to support local programs in Baldwin Park for special needs populations and persons experiencing

homelessness. In Baldwin Park, this funding is part of the limited to 15 percent public service cap of the annual allocation of CDBG funds. The City is not a direct recipient of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds; therefore, most of the HUD funding to address homelessness is available through the Los Angeles County Department of Social Services and the CoC. The State of California recently began to increase efforts to address homelessness. The City will pursue State funding opportunities made available at the local level to provide services for special needs populations and persons experiencing homelessness. Private sources remain limited. Finally, as the City’s HUD grants have declined over the last 10 years, it has been difficult to accommodate increasing levels of need in the community and increases in the cost of providing services to homeless and special needs populations.

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 To address the lack of resources necessary to support local programs in Baldwin Park for special needs populations and persons experiencing homelessness, the City will continue maintaining its relationships with its nonprofit service providers to explore alternate funding sources and encouraging the identification of alternate revenue streams to sustain the program in the future.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
Barries to affordable housing have been noted in section MA-40 of this Consolidated Plan. Barriers included in that section are outlined below.
• Zoning regulations impact on multifamily unit developments • Impact of lengthy permitting procedures on developer investments • Local Los Angeles County Measures
• Affordability concerns stemming from Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) and Assembly Bill 1033 (AB 1033) • Extensive environmental review for new developments required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) which can delay housing projects.

Significant public housing policy changes may negatively impact local affordable housing development and residential investment. To mitigate against negative public housing policy impacts, 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. This strategy can help increase the supply of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing in the City.

Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing Addressing barriers to affordable housing will require ongoing collaboration between local, regional, and state entities to create a more supportive environment for affordable housing development. To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, 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 affordable housing, to facilitate affordable housing development. This strategy can help increase the supply of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing in the City.

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs.

The efforts of the CoC and its partner agencies to address homelessness in Los Angeles County, including Baldwin Park, are vital in providing support and resources to individuals and families in need. The variety of programs offered, ranging from outreach and emergency shelters to transitional and permanent housing, ensures that various needs and circumstances are addressed comprehensively.

The City of Baldwin Park is committed to continue its partnership with the San Gabriel Council of Governments (SGVCOG), Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (L.A. CADA), and other San Gabriel Valley cities to implement the Services to Supplement Existing Homeless Services Program. The program addresses and supplements the existing gaps in the region’s homeless services system, with a focus on connecting hard-to-reach persons experiencing homelessness to health services and housing.

The services will include:
• Street Outreach
• Housing Navigation
• Mental Health Support
• Case Management
• Homeless Prevention and Problem Solving
• Supportive Services
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons.

The City has developed two tiny home communities in the City. Esperanza Villa assists 25 homeless individuals with three months of housing and supportive services to prepare them for more permanent housing. The second community, Serenity Homes, has 16 larger units to accommodate households up to three persons and offers six months of housing and supportive services. Case management, job training, mental health, substance abuse, food, and other services necessary to stabilize and prepare tenants for permanent housing are also available.

The establishment of transitional and supportive housing, as outlined in the City’s Housing Element, is a crucial step in addressing homelessness and providing necessary support services to vulnerable individuals and families in Baldwin Park. Initiatives like Esperanza Villa and Serenity Homes contribute to the overall well-being and stability of individuals experiencing homelessness in Baldwin Park by offering a supportive environment and access to critical resources. Additionally, funding vital services like emergency rental assistance, transitional housing, and winter shelter assistance play a crucial role in preventing homelessness and supporting individuals and families during times of crisis. Through partnerships with key organizations the City can extend its reach and maximize its impact by addressing the complex issue of homelessness in Baldwin Park.

Consolidated Plan

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.

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 and 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 Regional 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.

Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs.

An individual or family is at-risk of becoming homeless if they experience extreme difficulty maintaining their housing and have no reasonable alternatives for obtaining subsequent housing.

Homelessness often results from a complex set of circumstances that require people to choose between food, shelter and other basic needs. Examples of common circumstances that can cause homelessness include eviction, loss of income, insufficient income, disability, drug dependency, increase in the cost of housing, discharge from an institution, irreparable damage or deterioration to housing, and fleeing from family violence.

The CoC coordinates with state and local agencies, and privately-funded institutions to develop improved programs to assist at-risk persons with emergency financial assistance. Examples include 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

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. This strategy requires the City to implement programs that protect children living in older housing from lead hazards.

Lead-based paint abatement is part of 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 are 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 lead-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 clearance report. In Section 8 programs, staff annually inspect 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 include testing and abatement if necessary, or abatement without testing.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? The actions listed above will promote greater awareness of the hazards of lead-based paint to children and will also address unsafe housing conditions in pre-1978 units where children may potentially be exposed to lead-based paint hazards.

How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The City of Baldwin Park Residential Rehabilitation Program procedures require the dissemination of brochures provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to all applicants as part of the transmittal of the program application. Any unit receiving assistance through the program that was built prior to January 1, 1978 is tested for lead-based paint. If lead-based paint is present, appropriate abatement procedures are implemented as part of the rehabilitation contract consistent with the requirements of 24 CFR Part 35.

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families.

The implementation of CDBG and HOME activities meeting the goals established in this Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty-level families by:
• 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 activities that preserve and enhance neighborhood aesthetics and improve infrastructure to benefit low-and moderate-income residents of Baldwin Park. • 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 public service funds.

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. In California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKs, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi-Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidies 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.

How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan.

As housing costs continue to rise, rental costs in the City are currently out of reach for many individuals and families. National funding limitations on Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and long application wait lists for both conventional public housing and publicly assisted affordable housing limit the number of families in poverty that can benefit from these housing opportunities or programs.

Consolidated Plan

BALDWIN PARK 140

The goals of this Strategic Plan are aligned to benefit low- and moderate-income residents and reduce the number of poverty-level families. The City has included an Affordable Housing Preservation goal as part of this Consolidated Plan. To address this affordable housing goal the City will fund activities targeted to families who own their residence but lack the resources to address emergency repairs or maintain the property in compliance with City codes and standards. Addressing substandard or emergency housing conditions allows low- and moderate-income families to maintain housing stability while also guaranteeing that all economic segments of the community live in decent housing.

SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements.

To ensure that CDBG and HOME funds are used efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulations, the City provides technical assistance to all subrecipients at the beginning of each program year and monitors subrecipients throughout the program year.

Technical Assistance
To enhance compliance with federal program regulations, the City provides an annual Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) workshop to review the City’s Annual Action Plan goals, program requirements, and available resources with potential applicants. After the approval of the Annual Action Plan, a mandatory subrecipient workshop is held to review program regulations in detail, provide useful forms and resources for documenting compliance, and to review the City’s compliance procedures and requirements. Individualized technical assistance is also provided on an as-needed basis throughout the program year.

Activity Monitoring
The monitoring of programmed activities begins with a detailed review of all received applications to determine eligibility, conformance with a National Objective, and conformance with a Plan goal. This process also includes a review the proposed use of funds, eligibility of the service area, eligibility of the intended beneficiaries, and likelihood of compliance with other federal requirements such as the National Environmental Policy Act, the System for Award Management (SAM) debarment list, prevailing wage, Minority and Women Business Enterprise, Section 3 and federal acquisition and relocation regulations, as applicable. Application requirements include submission of financial audit or other related financial documents to determine the applicant’s capacity and note any findings or concerns that may impact an applicant’s ability to carry out their proposed program. Eligible applications are then considered for funding.

Once funded, desk monitoring includes ongoing review of required quarterly performance reports.

For CDBG public service activities, on-site monitoring is conducted once every two (2) years, or more frequently as needed to ensure compliance. These reviews include both a fiscal and programmatic review of the subrecipient’s activities. The reviews determine if the subrecipient is complying with the program regulations and City contract. Areas routinely reviewed include overall administration, financial systems, appropriateness of program expenditures, program delivery, client eligibility determination and documentation, reporting systems, and achievement toward achieving contractual goals. Following the monitoring visit, a written report is provided delineating the results of the review and any findings of non-compliance and the required corrective action. Subrecipients normally have 30 days to provide the City with corrective actions taken to address any noted findings. Individualized

technical assistance is provided, as noted above, if compliance concerns are identified. For HOME funded activities, annual monitoring is undertaken to ensure that for renter occupied units, household income, rents and utility allowances comply with applicable limits pursuant to affordability covenant.

For ownership units, annual monitoring of occupancy is conducted throughout the affordability period.

The City of Baldwin Park has a comprehensive strategy in place to leverage various funding sources and partnerships to address community development and affordable housing needs within the community. Below is a breakdown of the funding sources and planned allocations for FY 2025/26:

CDBG Entitlement Funds: The City will receive $850,026 in CDBG entitlement funds for the FY 2025/26. Additionally, the City anticipates $342,305 in prior year carryover funds that are available for programming in FY 2025/26, for a total of $1,192,331 These funds will be utilized for public services, code enforcement, fair housing services, and CDBG administration. The City does not have any income from float-funded activities or surplus from urban renewal settlements, sale of real property, prior period adjustments, CDBG-acquired property available for sale, or lump sum drawdown payments. Nor is the City funding any “urgent need activities.” HOME Program Funds: The City anticipates that it will receive an estimated $247,964.72 in HOME entitlement funds for the FY 2025/26.

Additionally, the City anticipates $2,861,186 in prior year carryover funds and $125,859 in Program income that are available for programming in FY 2025/26, for a total of $3,235,009.85. Up to 10 percent of the HOME allocation will be used to provide for staffing and other program administration costs associated with the HOME program, including planning, reporting, monitoring, and IDIS setup and maintenance. Available prior year program income has been receipted from which 10% will be allocated to the 2025/26 HOME Program Administration activity. This includes $7,671.30 from FY 2018/19, $3,801.53 from FY 2019/20, $11,281.73 from FY 2020/21, $11,485.85 from FY 2021/22, $10,236.91 from FY 2022/23, and $81,381.68 from FY 2024/25, for a total additional allocation of $125,829.00. These additional HOME Admin funds will be used for staff salaries and benefits, consultant costs, and project delivery costs associated with administering the City’s HOME program.

Table 45 - 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.

The City of Baldwin Park demonstrates a strategic approach to addressing housing and community development needs by leveraging various funding resources alongside its CDBG and HOME entitlement grants. Historically, the City's former Redevelopment Agency played a significant role as a primary non-federal source of leveraged funds. However, with the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency, the City's ability to

leverage federal funds has been reduced. To compensate for the reduced leverage capacity, the City and its development partners actively seek new opportunities to leverage federal funds. This includes participating in programs such as the Low-Income Tax Credit program, seeking special allocations like HOME-ARP and CDBG-CV funding, and exploring opportunities under HUD's Section 202 and 811 for the Elderly Program.

HUD requires HOME recipients to match 25% of their HOME annual allocation. However, the City of Baldwin Park has received a 50% match reduction from HUD due to fiscal distress. This means the City is required to match only 12.5% of HOME funds using non-federal funds. The City has been utilizing a match surplus derived from prior contributions by the former Baldwin Park Redevelopment Agency in developing affordable housing developments. As of September 2022, the City's match surplus amounts to approximately $3,885,831. This surplus serves as a valuable resource for meeting match requirements and advancing affordable housing initiatives.

If appropriate, describe 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 is continually being sought for development. One such property located at 13167 Garvey Street was purchased in September 2021 by the City. The City utilized the property for the development of affordable housing for those that are homeless or at risk of homelessness. 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.

Discussion
The City has three affordable housing projects in progress that were approved in Annual Action Plans that were part of the previous Consolidated Plan cycle. One of those projects included HOME fund investments with local Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity, to develop homeownership opportunities in Baldwin Park. In 2023 the Baldwin Park City Council also approved an Affordable Homeownership Expansion Agreement with the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity to explore new home construction, acquisition and rehabilitation of existing homes, and/or substantial rehabilitation/critical home repairs for existing homeowners.

The second project in progress is with a partnership with the Cesar Chavez Foundation whom the City awarded funds to develop approximately 51 units at 4109 and 4113 Downing Avenue and 14617, 14625, and 14617, 14625, and 14637 Ramona Boulevard, Baldwin Park. The project will consist of 15 one-bedroom units, 15 two-bedroom units, 15 three-bedroom units, five 4-bedroom units, and one manager’s unit 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.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Baldwin Park Housing Authority (BPHA) operates under the State of California Housing Authority Law and is responsible for developing and managing housing programs for low-income families. BPHA receives funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer the Section 8 tenant-based Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) assistance program in Baldwin Park, as well as in neighboring cities including West Covina, El Monte, South El Monte, and Monrovia within Los Angeles County. The following data pertains specifically to Baldwin Park.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing.

The Baldwin Park Housing Authority (BPHA) is committed to meeting the housing needs of residents by maintaining a high leasing rate of 98% to 100% and improving living conditions for households. BPHA intends to achieve this by continuing to administer the Section 8 tenant-based Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, providing rental assistance to eligible families. The BPHA aims to increase flexibility and portability of housing opportunities by transitioning public housing units to tenant-based voucher assistance, allowing residents greater choice in housing options.

The BPHA will continue to streamline procedures for landlord and tenants by providing forms and program information through the web portal for easy access. Staff are also available in person to provide quality informative customer service to all program participants and prospective landlords.

One of the key public housing developments managed by BPHA is McNeil Manor Public Housing, which consists of 12 units designated for low-income seniors. Further, as of March 2024, a total of 125 households in Baldwin Park have received Section 8 vouchers through BPHA. Among these households, there are 60 households with elderly or disabled members, 61 households categorized as large families, and 64 households categorized as small families. On average, households receive a monthly housing assistance payment of $1,512, assisting them in securing affordable housing in the Baldwin Park area.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership.

The BPHA actively encourages resident engagement through resident councils and active participation in housing authority decisions via surveys and other forms of engagement. BPHA implements 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.

If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance.

BPHA is designated as a Substandard Public Housing Agency. BPHA staff is working with HUD to overcome the residual loss of staff from the COVID-19 pandemic. The BPHA is working to hire additional

staff that can assist with the applicant intake process to increase the number of assisted families.

Discussion
BPHA is well-positioned to maintain and expand the supply of affordable housing units in the City of Baldwin Park and throughout Los Angeles County. Partnerships with the State of California, Los Angeles County Development Authority, the City of Baldwin Park and other housing partners make this possible.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City of Baldwin Park recognizes preventing and ending homelessness as a top priority for the City. As part of its efforts to address this issue locally, the City supports the efforts of organizations such as the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA) and the County Continuum of Care (CoC), along with their member organizations working to combat homelessness throughout Los Angeles County.

The City intends to utilize Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to support local service providers and City-run programs aimed at preventing homelessness and expanding the supply of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents. This underscores the City's commitment to addressing homelessness through coordinated efforts and targeted investments in housing and supportive services.

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 efforts of the CoC and its partner agencies to address homelessness in Los Angeles County, including Baldwin Park, are vital in providing support and resources to individuals and families in need. The variety of programs offered, ranging from outreach and emergency shelters to transitional and permanent housing, ensures that various needs and circumstances are addressed comprehensively.

The City of Baldwin Park is committed to continue its partnership with the San Gabriel Council of Governments (SGVCOG), Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (L.A. CADA), and other San Gabriel Valley cities to implement the Services to Supplement Existing Homeless Services Program. The program addresses and supplements the existing gaps in the region’s homeless services system, with a focus on connecting hard-to-reach persons experiencing homelessness to health services and housing.

The services will include:
• Street Outreach
• Housing Navigation
• Mental Health Support
• Case Management
• Homeless Prevention and Problem Solving
• Supportive Services
As part of the FY 2025-26, the City will continue to allocate funds to of organizations such as the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless, Domestic Violence Advocate, and Church of the Redeemer Food Bank as their services are essential in addressing homelessness and providing assistance to residents with special needs in Baldwin Park. These organizations play a crucial role in conducting assessments and providing essential services to individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of

BALDWIN PARK 179

homelessness. By offering support, resources, and advocacy, they aim to reduce the impact of homelessness and improve the overall well-being of vulnerable populations within the community. • Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons.

The City has developed two tiny home communities in the City. Esperanza Villa assists 25 homeless individuals with three months of housing and supportive services to prepare them for more permanent housing. The second community, Serenity Homes, has 16 larger units to accommodate households up to three persons and offers six months of housing and supportive services. Case management, job training, mental health, substance abuse, food, and other services necessary to stabilize and prepare tenants for permanent housing are also available.

The establishment of transitional and supportive housing, as outlined in the City’s Housing Element, is a crucial step in addressing homelessness and providing necessary support services to vulnerable individuals and families in Baldwin Park. Initiatives like Esperanza Villa and Serenity Homes contribute to the overall well-being and stability of individuals experiencing homelessness in Baldwin Park by offering a supportive environment and access to critical resources. Additionally, funding vital services like emergency rental assistance, transitional housing, and winter shelter assistance play a crucial role in preventing homelessness and supporting individuals and families during times of crisis. Through partnerships with key organizations the City can extend its reach and maximize its impact by addressing the complex issue of homelessness in Baldwin Park. For FY 2025-26 the City intends to continue funding key partners like the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless who serve as a lifeline for many in the community.
• Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.

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 and 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.
• Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged

BALDWIN PARK 180

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.

An individual or family is at-risk of becoming homeless if they experience extreme difficulty maintaining their housing and have no reasonable alternatives for obtaining subsequent housing.

Homelessness often results from a complex set of circumstances that require people to choose between food, shelter and other basic needs. Examples of common circumstances that can cause homelessness include eviction, loss of income, insufficient income, disability, drug dependency, increase in the cost of housing, discharge from an institution, irreparable damage or deterioration to housing, and fleeing from family violence.

The CoC coordinates with state and local agencies, and privately-funded institutions to develop improved programs to assist at-risk persons with emergency financial assistance. Examples include 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 homelessness using CDBG and HOME funds that offer housing vouchers, food programs, legal advocacy, and counseling services.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
Baldwin Park has found that the typical barriers to affordable housing can include the following:
• Housing Affordability: High housing costs relative to household incomes make it difficult for many residents to afford suitable housing. Limited affordable housing options exacerbate this issue, leading to housing insecurity and homelessness.
• Lack of Monetary Resources: Insufficient funding and resources pose a significant challenge to the development and maintenance of affordable housing projects. Funding shortages can impede construction, rehabilitation, and ongoing support for affordable housing initiatives. • Land Use Controls: Zoning regulations, land use policies, and development restrictions may limit the availability of suitable land for affordable housing projects. Complex zoning processes and land use requirements can also increase development costs and timelines. • Property Taxes: High property taxes can increase the overall cost of homeownership and rental properties, making it more challenging to maintain affordable housing options. Property tax policies may not always align with affordable housing goals, further exacerbating housing affordability issues.
• State Prevailing Wage Requirements: Prevailing wage laws may impose additional labor costs on affordable housing projects, reducing the feasibility of development and increasing overall project costs.
• Environmental Protections: Environmental regulations and protections are essential for safeguarding public health and natural resources. However, stringent regulations can increase development costs and timelines, posing challenges for affordable housing projects. • Cost of Land: The cost of land acquisition represents a significant expense in housing development projects. In areas with high land costs, such as Baldwin Park, securing affordable land for housing initiatives can be particularly challenging. • Availability of Monetary Resources: Limited availability of financial resources, grants, and subsidies for affordable housing development and maintenance can impede efforts to address housing affordability issues. Insufficient funding may result in delayed or canceled projects, exacerbating the housing crisis.

Addressing these barriers requires collaboration between government agencies, community organizations, developers, and residents. Strategies may include streamlining zoning processes, increasing funding for affordable housing initiatives, implementing tax incentives for developers, and promoting mixed-income housing developments. Additionally, policymakers can explore innovative financing mechanisms and regulatory reforms to enhance housing affordability and accessibility for all residents.

Actions planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, an d policies affecting the return on residential investment.

During its 2021-2029 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 actively engages with affordable housing developers concerning the siting of future affordable housing and to ensure that the entitlement process runs smoothly from inception to completion. The Housing Element addresses the City’s provisions for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing. The policies identified below and outlined in detail 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:

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction
The City remains committed to investing 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 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. These efforts and strategies are noted below. • 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 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 and code enforcement.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing.

The City has a partnership with San Gabriel Habitat for Humanity that was made possible through an expansion plan and is not currently funded with the City’s CDBG or HOME funds. Activities included in the expansion plan are identified in the list below.
• Acquisition and rehabilitation activities
• Construction of four Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
• Owner-occupied rehabilitation program
• Construction of 12 attached 3-bedroom affordable town homes (12779 Torch Street) • Construction of 16 attached affordable homes (4288 Stewart Avenue) Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards.

The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. This strategy requires the City to implement programs that protect children living in older housing from lead hazards.

Consolidated Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
BALDWIN PARK 184

Lead-based paint abatement is part of 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 are 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 lead-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 clearance report. In Section 8 programs, staff annually inspect 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 include testing and abatement if necessary, or abatement without testing.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families.

The implementation of CDBG and HOME activities meeting the goals established in this Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty-level families by:
• 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 activities that preserve and enhance neighborhood aesthetics and improve infrastructure to benefit low-and moderate-income residents of Baldwin Park. • 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 public service funds.

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. In California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKs, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi-Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidies 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.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure.

The institutional delivery system in Baldwin Park is highly functioning and collaborative between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable non-profit organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. Strong City departments anchor the administration of HUD grant programs and the housing, community and economic development activities that are implemented by the City. 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. 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. The Housing Division and the Public Works Department will work together with contractors to implement public facility improvement projects.

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 continue 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.

92.205. Should the Residential Rehabilitation Program be made available in FY 2025-26 with HUD entitlement funds, it will offer one percent interest deferred loans for the rehabilitation of owner- occupied single-family. The loans will be due and payable after 30 years. The maximum loan amount is $45,000 and the after-rehab value of the house must be less than 95% of the area’s median purchase price. The loan will not include any provision for refinancing existing debt.

2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows: In the past, the City of Baldwin Park offered a Housing Assistance program to low-income first-time homebuyers, entitled, the “Silent Second Program.” The Silent Second or "gap financing" program assisted homebuyers to purchase a home by filling in the affordability gap. The gap is defined as a difference between the purchase price of the home and the first mortgage plus a 1.5% down payment. Baldwin Park's program offered a maximum second mortgage loan of $70,000. The City uses recapture. All City loans are due and payable upon sale or transfer of the property; if the unit is no longer occupied by the homebuyer; if the homebuyer cashes out; or there becomes a maintenance problem with the property.

3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows: See previous response.

Citizen Participation Plan

City of Baldwin Park Page 1 DRAFT _- April 2025
I. About this Document
As required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations found at 24 CFR 91.105, this Citizen Participation Plan sets forth the City of Baldwin Park’s policies and procedures for providing citizens and other interested parties with opportunities to participate in an advisory role in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs.

The primary objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. The objective of the HOME program is to create and preserve affordable housing for low-income households.

As a recipient of CDBG and HOME funds, the City is required to produce the following Consolidated Plan Documents:

1. Citizen Participation Plan – the City’s policies and procedures for community participation in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the CDBG and HOME programs.

2. Consolidated Plan – a five -year plan that documents the City of Baldwin Park’s housing and community development needs, outlines strategies to address those needs, and identifies proposed program accomplishments.

3. Annual Action Plan – an annual plan that describes specific CDBG and HOME projects and activities that will be undertaken over the course of the program year, which runs from July 1 to June 30.

4. Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) – an annual report that evaluates the City’s accomplishments and use of CDBG and HOME funds.

II. Encouragement of Citizen Participation

The City of Baldwin Park provides for and encourages citizens to participate in the development of the Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and CAPER. The City encourages participation by low- and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in slum and blighted areas (if any such areas are formally designated) and in areas where CDBG funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods1. The City is also committed to take appropriate actions to encourage the participation of all its citizens, including minorities and non -English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities.

The City will make a concerted effort to notify and encourage the participation of key stakeholders in the development or amendment of any of the Consolidated Plan documents through mailings (including electronic mailings), online postings and public notices in the newspaper, as required and appropriate. Key stakeholders may include any of the entities listed below.

• Citizens
• Continuum of Care organizations
• Businesses

1 Predominately low- and moderate-income neighborhoods are defined as those in which a minimum of 51% of the residents have incomes at or below 80% of area median income, as determined with HUD-supplied data.

Citizen Participation Plan

City of Baldwin Park Page 2 DRAFT _- April 2025
• Developers
• Nonprofit organizations
• Philanthropic organizations
• Community-based and faith-based organizations
• Broadband internet service providers, organizations engaged in narrowing the digital divide • Agencies whose primary responsibilities include the management of flood prone areas, public land or water resources
• Emergency management agencies

• Social service providers
• Fair housing organizations
• State and local governments
• Public housing agencies
• Affordable housing developers

The City may also explore alternative public involvement techniques and quantitative ways to measure efforts that encourage citizen participation in a shared vision for change in communities and neighborhoods, and the review of program performance as direc ted by the Housing Manager. All communication, public comments, and complaints concerning the Citizen Participation Plan and the Consolidated Plan Documents should be directed to:

Housing Manager
Community Development Department – Housing Division
14403 E. Pacific Avenue Baldwin Park,
CA 91706
(626) 960-4011 Ext. 496

The HUD requirements for citizen participation do not restrict the responsibility or authority of the City of Baldwin Park to develop and execute the Consolidated Plan Documents, but rather facilitate citizen access to, and engagement with, the CDBG and HOME programs.

III. Citizen Participation Plan

The Citizen Participation Plan outlines the City’s policies and procedures for public engagement in the Consolidated Plan process and documentation preparation, and the use of CDBG and HOME funds. The Citizen Participation Plan provides the method and process by which the City will encourage citizen participation in the development of its Consolidated Plan and related documents. Through this plan, citizens will be afforded the opportunity to provide input regarding housing and community development needs, issues and problems affecting low -and moderate-income persons, the development of strategies, project selections and funding distributions. The Citizen Participation Plan was developed as requ ired under 24 CFR 91.105.

Citizen Participation Plan

City of Baldwin Park Page 10 DRAFT _- April 2025
VI. Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)

Every program year, within 90 days of the close of the program year, the City must submit to HUD a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The CAPER describes how funds were used during the program year and the extent to which these funds were used for activities that benefited low and moderate-income people. The CAPER provides details on the City’s program accomplishments for the previous program year. Accomplishments include progress towards the City’s Consolidated Plan goals, the number of low- and moderate-income people served, and expenditures taken during the year and funds spent undertaking each activity.

A. Plan Development

The City shall implement the following procedure in the drafting and submission of Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER):

a) Plan Considerations

Staff will evaluate and report the accomplishments of the previous program year for CDBG and HOME and along with program year expenditures.

b) Plan Review and Comment Period

The draft CAPER shall be made available for public review for a 15-day period. Locations of where the plan will be made available are outlined later in this document in section VIII. Public Hearing, Notification, and Access.

Written comments will be accepted by the Housing Manager or designee during the public review period. A summary of all written comments and those received during the public hearing as well as the City’s responses will be attached to the CAPER prior to submission to HUD.

VII. Analysis of Impediments (AI) or Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) As a recipient of CDBG funds the City is required to comply with the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. This act requires that any community receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds must affirmatively further fair housing.

In years past, the City achieved compliance through the preparation of a report known as an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. The report includes an analysis of various demographic, economic,

Citizen Participation Plan

City of Baldwin Park Page 11 DRAFT _- April 2025
and housing indicators; a review of public and private sector policies that affect fair housing; and a review of the City’s efforts to create fair housing choice.

A. Plan Development

a) Plan Considerations

As of April 2025, the interim final rule revises HUD's regulation governing the Fair Housing Act's mandate that the Secretary administer HUD's program and activities in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. This interim final rule returns to the original understanding of what the statutory AFFH certification was prior to 1994—a general commitment that grantees will take active steps to promote fair housing. Grantee AFFH certifications will be deemed sufficient provided they took any action during the relevant period rationally related to promoting fair housing, such as helping eliminate housing discrimination. This interim final rule does not, however, reinstate the obligation to conduct an Analysis of Impediments or mandate any specific fair housing planning mechanism; program participants must continue to affirmatively further fair housing as and to the extent required by the Fair Housing Act.

VIII. Public Hearings, Notification, and Access

The following policies and procedures outline the public hearing process and public hearing notification of the development and substantial amendment of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, Citizen Participation Plan, Annual Action Plan, and CAPER.

XIV. Anti-Displacement and Relocation

The City’s Anti-Displacement and Relocation Plan describes how Baldwin Park will assist persons who must be temporarily relocated or permanently displaced due to the use of HUD CPD funds. This plan takes effect whenever the City funds projects that involve the following:
• Property acquisition;
• Potential displacement of people from their homes and the need to relocate people (either permanently or temporarily); and
• The demolition or conversion of low- and moderate-income dwelling units.

A. Background

Two acts apply whenever any of the above issues are present: the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Policies Act of 1970 (URA) and Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. Each of these acts places different obligations on the City.

The URA governs the processes and procedures which the City and the Finance Department must follow to minimize the burden placed on low- and moderate-income tenants, property owners, and business owners who must move (either temporarily or permanently) as the result of a project funded in whole or in part by the CDBG or HOME program. The URA applies to:

• Displacement from acquisition, demolition, or rehabilitation for HUD-assisted projects carried out by public agencies, nonprofit organizations, private developers, or others; • Real property acquisition for HUD -assisted projects (whether publicly or privately undertaken);
• Creation of a permanent easement or right of way for HUD-assisted projects (whether publicly or privately undertaken); and
• Work on private property during the construction of a HUD-assisted project even if the activity is temporary.

B. What is Displacement?

Displacement occurs when a person moves as a direct result of federally assisted acquisition, demolition, conversion, or rehabilitation activities, because he or she is:

Citizen Participation Plan

City of Baldwin Park Page 18 DRAFT _- April 2025
• Required to move; or
• Not offered a decent, safe, sanitary and affordable unit in the project; or • Treated “unreasonably” as part of a permanent or temporary move.

A person may also be considered displaced if the necessary notices are not given or provided in a timely manner and the person moves for any reason.

C. What is a Displaced Person?

The term displaced person means any person that moves from real property or moves his or her personal property from real property permanently as a direct result of one or more of the following activities:
• Acquisition of, written notice of intent to acquire, or initiation of negotiations to acquire such real property, in whole or in part, for a project; • Rehabilitation or demolition of such real property for a project; and • Rehabilitation, demolition, or acquisition (or written notice of intent) of all or a part of other real property on which the person conducts a business or farm operation, for a project.

The City may provide advisory and financial assistance to eligible tenants (or homeowners) who meet the above definition.

D. Persons Not Eligible for Assistance

A person is not eligible for relocation assistance under the provisions of the URA if any of the following occur:

• The person was evicted for serious or repeated violation of the terms and conditions of the lease or occupancy agreement, violation of applicable Federal, State, or local law, or other good cause. However, if the person was evicted only to avoid the applic ation of URA, then that person is considered displaced and is eligible for assistance; • The person has no legal right to occupy the property under State or local law; • The City determines that the person occupied the property to obtain relocation assistance, and the HUD Field Office concurs in that determination; • The person is a tenant -occupant that moved into the property after a certain date, specified in the applicable program regulation, and, before leasing and occupying the property, Baldwin Park or its subgrantee, provided the tenant-occupant written notice of the application for assistance, the project's impact on the person, and the fact that he or she would not qualify as a “displaced person” because of the project; • The person is a tenant-occupant of a substandard dwelling that is acquired or a tenant- occupant of a dwelling unit to which emergency repairs are undertaken and the HUD field office concurs that:

Citizen Participation Plan

City of Baldwin Park Page 19 DRAFT _- April 2025
o Such repairs or acquisition will benefit the tenant; o Bringing the unit up to a safe, decent, and sanitary condition is not feasible;
o The tenant’s new rent and average estimated monthly utility costs will not exceed the greater of the old rent/utility costs or 30 percent of gross household income; and
o The project will not impose any unreasonable change in the character or use of the property.
• The person is an owner-occupant of the property who moves because of an arm’s length acquisition;
• Baldwin Park or its subgrantee notifies the person that they will not displace him or her for the project; and
• The person retains the right of use and occupancy of the real property for life following the acquisition.

• Baldwin Park determines that the person is not displaced as a direct result of the acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition for the project and the HUD field office concurs in the determination.

E. Minimizing Displacement

Baldwin Park will take reasonable steps to minimize displacement occurring as a result of its CDBG or HOME activities. This means that the Housing Division of the Community Development Department will:
• Consider if displacement will occur as part of funding decisions and project feasibility determinations;
• Assure, whenever possible that occupants of buildings to be rehabilitated are offered an opportunity to return;
• Plan substantial rehabilitation projects in “stages” to minimize displacement; and • Meet all HUD notification requirements so that affected persons do not move because they have not been informed about project plans and their rights.

F. Anti-Displacement Policy

The City seeks to minimize, to the greatest extent feasible, the displacement, whether permanently or temporarily, of persons (families, individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, or farms) from projects funded with CDBG or HOME involving single - or multi-family rehabilitation, acquisition, commercial rehabilitation, demolition, economic development, or capital improvement activities.

Projects that Baldwin Park deem beneficial but that may cause displacement may be recommended and approved for funding only if Baldwin Park or its subgrantee demonstrates that such displacement is necessary and vital to the project and that they take efforts to reduce the number of persons displaced. Further, they must clearly demonstrate that the goals and anticipated

Citizen Participation Plan

City of Baldwin Park Page 20 DRAFT _- April 2025
accomplishments of a project outweigh the adverse effects of displacement imposed on persons who must relocate.

G. Displacement Assistance

Consistent with the goals and objectives of the CDBG and HOME programs, Baldwin Park will take all reasonable steps necessary to minimize displacement of persons, even temporarily. If displacement occurs, the City will provide relocation assistance to all persons directly, involuntarily, and permanently displaced according to HUD regulations.

If Baldwin Park temporarily displaces a low - or moderate -income household, that household becomes eligible for certain relocation payments. Assistance applies to those persons residing in the residence at the time the application is processed and is based on the following procedures:
• If the structure and its occupants are determined eligible for temporary relocation assistance, the owner-occupants and tenants are eligible for the actual reasonable cost (based on fair market rent) of temporary lodging facilities until the structure is determined habitable by Baldwin Park’s housing inspector;

• Baldwin Park must approve housing and the Lessor and Lessee must sign a rent agreement before move -in. Housing must have comparable functionally to the displacement dwelling and decent, safe, and sanitary. This does not mean that the housing must be in comparable size. The term “functionally equivalent” means that it performs the same function, has the same principal features present, and can contribute to a comparable style of living. Approved lodging accommodations include apartments and houses. Baldwin Park does not reimburse “rental expenses” for living with a friend or family member;
• Either Baldwin Park will provide the owner-occupants and tenants with direct payment for moving expenses (to and from temporary housing) and storage costs, or Baldwin Park will arrange moving and storage of furniture with a moving company. If Baldwin Park makes a direct payment, complete documentation and receipts are necessary to process claims when storage costs exceed the amount assumed by the direct payment; • Damage deposits, utility hookups, telephone hookups and insurance costs are not eligible for reimbursement; and
• The City may pay the cost of relocation assistance from Federal funds or funds available from other sources.

H. One-For-One Replacement Dwelling Units

Baldwin Park will generally avoid awarding funds for activities resulting in displacement.

However, should Baldwin Park fund an activity, specific documentation is required to show the replacement of all occupied and vacant dwelling units demolished or con verted to another use.

Baldwin Park will ensure that relocation assistance is provided as described in 24 CFR 570.606(b) (2).

Citizen Participation Plan

City of Baldwin Park Page 21 DRAFT _- April 2025
Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, Baldwin Park will make public and submit to the HUD field office the following information in writing:
• A description of the proposed assisted activity;
• The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than low- and moderate-income units;
• A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion;

• The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement units; • The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units; or
• The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low - and moderate-income unit for at least ten years from the date of initial occupancy.

Consistent with the goals and objectives of the CDBG and HOME programs, Baldwin Park will take all the reasonable steps necessary to minimize displacement of persons from their homes. The City will avoid funding projects that cause displacement of persons or businesses and will avoid funding any project that involves the conversion of low - and moderate-income housing to non- residential purposes.

I. Decent, Safe and Sanitary Dwelling

The term decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling means a dwelling that meets the following standards and any other housing and occupancy codes that are applicable. It will:
• Be structurally sound, weather tight, and in good repair; • Contain a safe electrical wiring system adequate for lighting and other devices; • Contain a safe heating system capable of sustaining a healthful temperature for the displaced person;
• Be adequate to accommodate the displaced person. There will be a separate, well lit, ventilated bathroom that provides privacy to the user and contains a toilet, sink, and a bathtub or shower, all in good working order and properly connected to appropriate sources of water and to a sewage drainage system. There should be a kitchen area that contains a fully usable sink, properly connected to hot and cold water and to a sewage drainage system, and adequate space and utility service connections for a stove an d refrigerator;
• Contain unobstructed egress to safe, open space at ground level; • For a mobility-impaired person, be free of any barriers that would preclude reasonable ingress, egress, or use of the dwelling by such person. This requirement will be satisfied if the displaced person elects to relocate to a dwelling that they select and the displaced

Citizen Participation Plan

City of Baldwin Park Page 22 DRAFT _- April 2025
person determines that they have reasonable ingress, egress, and the use of the dwelling; and
• Comply with lead-based paint requirements of 24 CFR Part 35.

XV. Real Property Policies

The City and its CDBG or HOME subrecipients must follow specific guidelines regarding the acquisition and use of real property funded in whole or in part with CDBG or HOME funds.

A. Use of Real Property

The following standards apply to real property within the recipient’s control and acquired or improved, in whole or in part, using CDBG funds. These standards will apply from the date funds are first spent for the property until five years after the project is audited and closed.

A recipient may not change the use of any such property (including the beneficiaries of such use) from that for which the acquisition or improvement was made unless the recipient gives affected citizens reasonable notice of, and opportunity to comment on, any such proposed change, and either:
• The use of such property qualifies as meeting a national objective and is not a building for the general conduct of government;
•
• If the recipient determines, after consultation with affected citizens, that it is appropriate to change the use of property to a use that does not qualify under the above paragraph, it may retain or dispose of the property. The Baldwin Park CDBG program m ust be reimbursed in the amount of the current fair market value of the property less any portion attributable to expenditures of non-federal funds for the acquisition of and improvements to the property;
• If the change of use occurs within five years of the project being audited and closed, income from the disposition of the real property will be returned to the Baldwin Park CDBG program; and
• Following the reimbursement of the federal program pursuant to the above paragraph of this section, the property is no longer subject to any federal requirements.

B. Real Property Acquisition

All real property acquisition activities described in this section and funded in whole or in part with CDBG or HOME funds and all real property that must be acquired for an activity assisted with Federal funds, regardless of the actual funding source for the acquisition, are subject to the URA (as amended).

C. What is Real Property Acquisition?

Real property acquisition is any acquisition by purchase, lease, donation, or otherwise, including the acquisition of such interests as rights-of-way and permanent easements.

Citizen Participation Plan

City of Baldwin Park Page 23 DRAFT _- April 2025
HUD Handbook 1378 and 49 CFR Part 24 currently contain such regulations. These regulations detail the standard procedure for acquiring property and methods of determining a purchase price and outline other documents that must be provided to Baldwin Park before disbursement of funds. These regulations further require the applicant to provide relocation payments and assistance to any business or residential occupant of the property whom the acquisition will displace.

D. Eligible Activities

Baldwin Park or its sub-grantee may acquire real property for a project using CDBG funds where the proposed use of the acquired property will be an activity that the City can demonstrate as beneficial to low- and moderate-income persons.

E. 5. Environmental Review Process (24 CFR Part 58)

HUD requires that all real property acquisition projects be reviewed before the commitment of Federal funds to assess the impact of a project on the environment. Baldwin Park will undertake this review process. The applicant should be aware, however, that this review process may delay the date by which CDBG funds may be available and, in case of serious adverse environmental impacts, may effectively stop a project.

TOTAL BUDGET (CITY-WIDE EXPENDITURES) $141,137,390

BACKGROUND:

The Mayor and the City Council are required to adopt a budget each fiscal year for the City and its respective Agencies and Authorities to operate. The Chief Executive Officer and Director of Finance met initially with each member of the Executive Team and their managers/supervisors/assistants to review their departmental budgets and various requests. From those meetings a proposed budget was assembled and presented to the Mayor and City Council to review and consider. The Mayor and the City Council are also required to hold a public hearing, and at the conclusion of the public hearing, the budget may be adopted either as originally filed or with modifications.

The Public Hearing Notice was duly posted.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed city-wide budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26 totals $141,137,390. General Fund revenue is projected at $45,585,061 with expenditures estimated at $46,364,400, resulting in a projected deficit of $779,339. The projected General Fund Reserve balance at the end of the fiscal year is expected to be $13.4 million.

General Fund (Fund #100) revenue is anticipated to increase by $7.3 million from the previous year, primarily attributed to rises in utility users tax, property tax, property tax in lieu of VLF, franchise fees, business licenses, SB211 passthrough from the redevelopment property tax (former RDA project areas), billboards revenue, building plan check fees, construction permits and interest earnings. The increase also included the $3.6 million transferred from the Measure BP revenue that exceeds the $6 million sales tax and interest income from both FY 2024 and FY 2025 to fund fourteen (14) community special events and other citywide operations. The other increase is from the newly implemented indirect cost allocation plan in the net amount of $623,594.

Proposed General Fund expenditures total $46,364,400, representing a $4.9 million increase over the previous fiscal year. This increase is primarily driven by inflation, which has elevated costs across various areas.

Additionally, the expenditure growth reflects a 5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for all employees, including part-time staff, as well as rising CalPERS pension obligations.

The General Fund projected expenditure also includes an estimated cost of $619,098 to support numerous special events, programs, and quality-of-life activities benefiting residents, businesses, and the community. These include

but are not limited to the 4th of July Celebration, Arbor Day Celebration, Black History Celebration, Celebrate Baldwin Park Holiday Parade., Christmas with the COPS, Mental Health Awareness, National Night Out, Pride of the Valley 5K Run, Spring Fest, State of the City Address, Street Market & Concerts in the Park, Tree Lighting Ceremony, Trick or Treat with the COPS, and Veterans Day Ceremony.

Special Revenue Funds and other funds are used to account for revenues that are legally restricted or designated for specific purposes, ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of public resources. These funds support a variety of programs and services such as transportation, public safety, community development, and housing assistance programs. For the upcoming fiscal year, total revenues for the Special Revenue Funds and other funds are projected at $84,826,227, with total expenditures estimated at $94,772,990, which includes prior year carryover projects that require multiple years to complete. These allocations reflect the City’s commitment to meeting program goals while maintaining fiscal responsibility.

The City remains dedicated to a proactive and fiscally responsible approach to managing expenditures, while actively pursuing additional revenue sources to sustain a healthy reserve balance. This strategy ensures readiness for future cost increases and unforeseen or emergency situations. Key priorities will continue to include proactive financial planning, enhanced workplace productivity, operational efficiency, revenue generation, and reinvestment in the community. City staff will closely monitor appropriations and expenditures and will promptly notify the Mayor and City Council of any significant budgetary impacts or changes.

ALTERNATIVES:

In the event the budget is not adopted by July 1, 2025, staff is recommending that the City Council approve Continuing Appropriation Resolution Nos. 2025-016; FA 2025-002; MFA 2025-002; HA 2025-004; and SA 2025- 003, which will allow the City to operate with the prior fiscal year’s budget until a new budget is adopted. This will allow the City to continue providing vital services to the community but does not allow for spending for any new program, including new capital expenditures, until such time as a new budget is adopted by the City Council.

CEQA REVIEW:

None

This report does not require legal review.
