STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Rose Tam, Finance Director
PREPARED BY:

DATE: June 18, 2025

SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2025-017 Setting the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2025-2026

SUMMARY:

The City of Baldwin Park is required by State law to annually adopt a resolution establishing the City’s Appropriations Limit. The Appropriations Limit applies to the City’s General Fund expenditures. The Appropriations Limit for fiscal year 2025-2026 is $108,402,535. The budgeted revenues subject to limitation for the fiscal year 2025-2026 is $42,779,263.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No.2025-017, setting the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 at $108,402,535.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution specifies that appropriations made by State and local governments may increase annually by no more than a factor comprised of the change in population combined with either the change in California per capita personal income or the change in the local assessment roll due to local non-residential construction, whichever is greater. The original base year was 1978, and the appropriations limit is based on the aggregate increase annually since that date.

Data provided by the State Department of Finance indicates that the population change in the City of Baldwin Park over the last year was 0.23%. Additionally, California’s per capita personal income change was 6.44%. These factors combined will increase the City’s annual appropriations limit to $108,402,535 for the Fiscal Year 2025- 2026. Although the law authorizes the City to spend up to this amount from the proceeds of taxes, the fiscal year 2025-2026 adopted General Fund budget proposes to appropriate only 39% of this limit.

DISCUSSION:

None

ALTERNATIVES:

There is no alternative for the City Council to consider, as the State Constitution mandates cities to prepare the appropriations limit annually, which is adopted by the City Council.

STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Rose Tam, Finance Director
PREPARED BY:

DATE: June 18, 2025

SUBJECT: Approval of Annual Statement of Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025-2026

SUMMARY:

The City is required by the California Government Code to adopt an Investment Policy for the current fiscal year annually. Attached is the proposed Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025–2026, prepared in accordance with the State Treasurer’s Investment Policy Guidelines for 2025.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommend that the City Council adopt the attached Statement of Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025- 2026.

BACKGROUND:

The State of California Government Code requires each local agency to adopt an annual Statement of Investment Policy. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53600 et seq., a local agency may invest cash that is not required for immediate use in certain authorized investment instruments. As reflected in the City’s monthly Treasurer’s Report, the City of Baldwin Park currently invests surplus funds in the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). In addition, the City has invested portions of its excess cash in bank certificates of deposit (CDs), U.S.

Treasury securities, and U.S. agency bonds, with maturities ranging from one to five years. The City’s Statement of Investment Policy is reviewed annually to incorporate any updates to relevant legislation or best practices in public fund investing. The City's cash management system is designed to forecast short-term cash requirements and invest surplus funds to the fullest extent possible, while prioritizing safety and liquidity. All investment decisions are made with care, skill, prudence, and diligence, consistent with the prudent person standard (Civil Code Section 2261 et seq.) and in compliance with Government Code Section 53600 et seq., as well as the City’s adopted Investment Policy. The City’s Investment Policy is in compliance with the Government Code. The criteria for selecting investments in order of priority are (1) safety, (2) liquidity, and (3) yield.

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT
POLICY FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026

A. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Investment Policy is to establish guidelines for the prudent investment of the City’s surplus cash — funds not immediately required to meet daily operating needs. This Policy defines the objectives, standards of care, and permissible investments and ensures compliance with applicable provisions of the California Government Code.

B. SCOPE

1. The Investment Policy applies to all financial assets of the City as reported in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

2. It governs the investment of surplus cash held in all City funds, including but not limited to:

a. General Fund
b. Housing Authority
c. Successor Agency
d. Financing Authority
e. Special Revenue Funds
f. Internal Service Funds
g. Trust and Agency Funds

C. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The City Council has appointed the elected City Treasurer as the official responsible for the investment of surplus cash and the execution of investment transactions. Responsibility for daily cash management operations is delegated to the Department of Finance. The Director of Finance, Accounting Manager, and Assistant Accounting Manager shall be responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with this Investment Policy. All investment transactions must be approved by either the City Treasurer or the Director of Finance.

D. OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives of the City’s investment activities, in order of priority, are safety, liquidity, and yield:

1. SAFETY: Preservation of principal is the City’s foremost investment objective. Safety refers to minimizing the risk of loss —whether from default, market erosion, or other factors. This includes managing credit risk by investing in high-quality securities. The City shall invest only in instruments considered highly secure and shall seek to avoid capital losses arising from issuer default or significant market fluctuations.

Statement of Investment Policy

Page 2 of 7 ends

2. LIQUIDITY: Investments shall be structured to ensure sufficient liquidity to meet the City’s ongoing operational requirements. Liquidity refers to the ability to convert investments to cash quickly, with minimal loss of principal or interest. The City will maintain a dequate short -term investments and hold securities to maturity when appropriate.

3. YIELD: Yield refers to the investment’s return, typically measured by interest earnings.

While return on investment is a lower priority than safety and liquidity, the City shall seek to achieve a reasonable rate of return within the context of prevailing market conditions and investment constraints.

E. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Officials and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from any personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution of the investment program or impair their ability to make impartial decisions. All individuals involv ed shall comply with applicable provisions of California law regarding disclosure of income, gifts, and financial interests.

F. STRATEGIES
a. The City shall maintain an effective cash management system that accurately forecasts revenues and expenditures, enabling maximum investment of surplus funds.

b. The City shall apply the prudent investor standard in managing its overall portfolio. When making investment decisions, the City shall exercise care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, gen eral economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City. The City shall follow the standard that a prudent person, acting in a similar capacity and familiar with such matters, would use in managing funds of a similar character and with similar objec tives, with the goal of safeguarding principal while maintaining appropriate liquidity.

c. The City’s investment approach shall prioritize a buy -and-hold strategy, which promotes preservation of capital by holding securities to maturity. The City shall not pursue speculative techniques such as swaps, as they may introduce undue risk and resource costs that outweigh potential returns.

G. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The City is authorized to invest in specific types of securities in accordance with California Government Code Sections 53601 and 53635. Authorized investments also include participation in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), pursuant to Government Co de Section 16429.1. The City has further restricted the types of securities in which it may invest.

Only those securities listed in this Investment Policy are considered authorized. The following are the authorized investments for the City:

PREPARED BY:

DATE: June 18, 2025

SUBJECT: Request for Additional Funds to Cover PLHA Ineligible Costs

SUMMARY:

This staff report seeks City Council approval for additional funds to cover expenditures that are ineligible under the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program. In April 2025, the City executed an agreement with the State of California to allocate PLHA funds for Activity 6, which supports program-related expenses for Esperanza Villa and Serenity Homes. Following execution, City staff formally notified State representatives of the eligible expense categories to ensure compliance. However, certain expenses such as administrative labor, workers’ compensation, and de minimis indirect cost rate are not reimbursable under PLHA guidelines, as allowable administrative costs are already claimed by the Housing Authority.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommend that the City Council:

1. Approve the ineligible expenses totaling an estimate of approximately $400,000.

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to appropriate the funding in the amount of $400,000 and make necessary budget adjustments.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is an anticipated fiscal impact of approximately $400,000 to the General Fund in Fiscal Years 2023-2024 and 2024–2025 to support the continued operations of the Esperanza Villa and Serenity Homes interim housing sites. These costs reflect expenditures that are not eligible for reimbursement under the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program guidelines.

BACKGROUND:

The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) currently maintains an agreement with City Net DBA Kingdom Causes, Inc. to deliver essential housing and supportive services for unhoused individuals at Esperanza Villa. Under this regional partnership, the City of Baldwin Park is obligated to reimburse SGVCOG for any program-related costs that are not eligible for reimbursement through the Cities and Councils of Governments Interim Housing Services (CCOGIHS) Fund. Initially, the City anticipated utilizing Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds to offset these non-reimbursable costs. However, following a comprehensive review of PLHA funding criteria, staff determined that several of the anticipated expenses fall outside the scope of eligible uses under PLHA guidelines.

DISCUSSION:

Page 33 of 467 ends

Page 2 ends

The City maintains an agreement with City Net, dba Kingdom Causes, Inc., for the operation of Serenity Homes Family, a 16-unit, 50-bed interim housing facility designed to support families experiencing homelessness. To ensure uninterrupted service delivery, the City is currently fronting all operational and program-related expenditures. This temporary funding approach will remain in place until the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Agreement is finalized and formally approved by the State, allowing eligible reimbursements to begin.

PLHA funding is restricted to specific categories of program support, including but not limited to:
• Janitorial and handyman services for facility upkeep and maintenance alerts • Meal services for program participants
• Rental assistance and move-in costs associated with rapid rehousing, sober living environments, room and board, and other housing solutions
• Pest control services
• Transportation and documentation-related fees
• Program furnishings, site supplies, and participant needs, including toiletries and uniforms • Operational expenses such as audit fees, insurance, IT support, telecommunications, and essential administrative supplies
Because administrative labor, workers’ compensation, and de minimis indirect costs are not eligible under PLHA, the City must identify alternative funding sources to support these essential expenditures. For the operational period spanning May 2024 through June 2025, the estimated cost includes:

Administrative labor expenses to support program management • Workers’ compensation coverage for staff assigned to the program • De minimis indirect cost rate to account for general administrative overhead

These expenditures are necessary to maintain program operations, ensure staff support, and uphold compliance with financial reporting standards. Identifying an appropriate funding source is critical to sustaining housing support services for vulnerable populations in Baldwin Park.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may approve of the requested funding or, alternatively, provide further direction as deemed appropriate.

STAFF REPORT

FROM: Manuel Carillo Jr, Director of Recreation and Community Services
PREPARED BY:

DATE: June 18, 2025

SUBJECT: Launch of Bed Inventory Matching for all Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) Beds and
Community Matcher Role at Serenity Homes

SUMMARY:

The purpose of this staff report is to inform the City Council of the launch of the bed inventory matching for all LASHA beds and community matcher role for Serenity Homes site.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommend that the City Council receive and file this report for informational purposes.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund at this time.

BACKGROUND:

The City has two (2) transitional housing sites, a 50-bed/16-unit interim housing facility for families and a 25-unit for individuals experiencing homelessness. Onsite services include case management, three (3) daily meals, 24- hour security, transportation, housing navigation, a range of wrap-around services, and special events.

The City’s current intake system streamlines the family housing request process by allowing City staff to submit referrals directly to City Net. This approach enables quicker processing times, provided applicants meet key Eligibility and Prioritization Criteria. Serenity Homes prioritizes families with a strong connection to Baldwin Park. A qualifying nexus to the City may include having immediate family members residing in Baldwin Park who can offer support, experiencing homelessness while living in the city, or active participation in the community through full-time education or employment within Baldwin Park.

While families with a local nexus are prioritized, the program also aims to maintain full occupancy. Therefore, individuals without a direct connection to Baldwin Park may be considered if space is available. In addition, the program emphasizes support for low-barrier and low-acuity individuals, those with fewer complex needs who can successfully follow program guidelines. These intake and eligibility protocols ensure Serenity Homes continues to serve Baldwin Park residents efficiently while fostering a stable and supportive housing environment.

DISCUSSION:

Effective July 1, 2025, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) will launch the matching component of its Bed Inventory Module for all interim housing beds it funds. This real-time system will streamline the placement process, reduce wait times, and improve coordination by notifying providers once a bed match is secured.

The Serenity Homes Interim Housing site in Baldwin Park will continue to prioritize local families while accepting referrals countywide. Baldwin Park’s preference policy ensures that individuals with a demonstrated connection to

Page 35 of 467 ends

Page 2 ends

the city, such as family ties, local employment, or recent residency will receive priority placement.

While the City’s current process allows for direct referrals to City Net, the updated system will require staff members who do not have access to the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to complete and submit to the Department of Health Services (DHS), Department of Mental Health (DMH), and LAHSA Interim Housing Referral Form. This updated procedure ensures continued support for families in need and maintains alignment with regional housing coordination efforts.

Eligibility criteria for Serenity Homes remain focused on serving low-acuity individuals capable of independent daily living. While priority is given to those with a local nexus, non-residents will be placed if space is available.

This expanded eligibility may increase competition for beds, requiring ongoing monitoring for eligibility access for Baldwin Park residents. Additionally, staff will have access to the new module system, which will allow families to be placed on the waiting list and enable staff to effectively monitor and manage the list in real-time.

ALTERNATIVES:

The alternative would be that the City Council may choose not to approve the Agreement or modify the Agreement as it sees fit.

Rose Tam, Finance Director
PREPARED BY:

DATE: June 18, 2025

SUBJECT: Measure BP Fund- Revenue Allocation Policy

SUMMARY:

At its meeting of June 4, 2025, the City Council directed staff as part of the Fiscal Year 25/26 Budget deliberations to prepare and present the City Council with a policy that would ensure and preserve that the Measure BP Stakeholders Oversight Committee (SOC) would have review and recommendation jurisdiction for investments of up to $6 million annually; and that any amount of revenue, including interest earnings, above the $6 million annually would be under the direct review and allocation jurisdiction of the City Council. This report presents such policy.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt as a Policy that the Measure BP SOC shall have review and recommendation jurisdiction of investments of up to $6 Million annually of Measure BP Revenue; and

2. Any and all Measure BP revenue, including interest earnings, above $6 million annually shall be under the direct review and allocation jurisdiction of the City Council.

4. Authorize the CEO to make non-substantive adjustments as deemed necessary.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the city in that the overall Measure BP annual revenue amount is not going to be impacted by this policy.

BACKGROUND:

Measure BP was approved by Baldwin Park voters in the November 8, 2022 General Election. It is a 3/4 of a cent, or 0.75% transaction and use local (sales) tax applied only within the City of Baldwin Park. The estimated annual revenue from Measure BP at its inception was $6 million annually.

The SOC Committee was established by Ordinance No. 1475. It has seven (7) members appointed by the City Council , and led by a Chair and Vice Chair. It is charged with review and recommendation jurisdiction of requests for funding for Measure BP Fund investments, brought forth by city departments and community organizations, vetted and presented by the CEO.

Measure BP was approved by Baldwin Park voters in the November 8, 2022 General Election. It is a 3/4 of a cent,

Page 37 of 467 ends

Page 2 ends

or 0.75% transaction and use local (sales) tax applied only within the City of Baldwin Park. The estimated annual revenue from Measure BP at its inception was $6 million annually.

DISCUSSION:

The Director of Finance tracks and reports the Measure BP revenue, including interest earnings, on a monthly basis. The actual revenue in real time is tracking higher than the original estimate of $6 million annually. Based on the most recent report, the annual revenue on a fiscal year basis is tracking at about $7.3 million annually, plus interest earnings.

In the course of its budget deliberations for the fiscal year 25/26, the City Council considered it fiscally prudent to ensure that the SOC remain fully empowered to review and recommend Measure BP investments of up to the original estimate of $6 million annually, and that any amount above the $6 million, including interest earnings, be placed under the direct review and allocation jurisdiction of the City Council.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council may choose not to adopt this report.

STAFF REPORT

PREPARED BY: Lena Abdullah, Management Analyst
DATE: June 18, 2025

SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution No. 2025-018 “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park, California,
Adopting the Amended Fee Schedule for Solid Waste
Collection and Recycling Services to reflect Consumer Price Index Increases.”

SUMMARY:

This report seeks adoption of Resolution No. 2025-018, approving the proposed fee changes. Pursuant to the terms of the existing waste collection and recycling services agreement, Waste Management, Inc. (WM) submitted a request for a 5.0% rate adjustment to all customers based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-018, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park, California, Adopting the Amended Fee Schedule for Solid Waste Collection and Recycling Services to reflect Consumer Price Index Increases”

FISCAL IMPACT:

WM will apply a 5.0% CPI increase to Residential, Commercial, and Multi-Family accounts for waste collection and recycling services as of July 1, 2025. The franchise fee and regulatory fees, such as SB1383 and AB939 will also reflect this change. The franchise fee is derived from gross receipts for providing services to Residential, Commercial, and Multi-Family accounts. Revenue increases in franchise fees for the annual rate increase, based on the CPI, will mirror the change in CPI. The total franchise fee equaling 15% for Residential and Multi-Family and 18% for Commercial of gross receipts is paid annually to the city by July 30 of each year.

BACKGROUND:

On September 4, 2013, the City Council authorized the execution of an Amended and Restated Exclusive Franchise Agreement (Agreement) with Waste Management, Inc. to provide exclusive services for refuse collection, disposal, and recycling of solid waste for a 10-year term.

On June 21, 2023, City Council approved the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Exclusive Franchise Agreement for Provision of Solid Waste Service Handling Services (First Amendment) with Waste Management to continue to provide exclusive services for collection, disposal, and recycling of solid waste for single-family, multi-family, commercial, and roll-off collection services. The Amendment extended the term through June 30, 2028, with an option to extend for an additional period of five (5) years. In addition, the Amendment provided for Waste Management to implement the City’s organic waste collection program and ensure compliance with the SB 1383
Regulations.

On August 16, 2023, the City conducted a Proposition 218 Public Hearing and adopted Resolution 2023-028 approving new rates for solid waste service, along with the provision to allow annual CPI adjustment for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024, and annually thereafter on July 1 through and including July 1, 2028. Since the only

Page 39 of 467 ends

Page 2 ends

Proposed change that is being considered this year is the annual CPI increase and Resolution No. 2023-028 approves annual CPI increases through, and inclusive of, July 1, 2028, a Public Hearing is not required.

On June 5, 2024, City Council approved and adopted Resolution No. 2024-022, which amended the fee schedule to reflect the Consumer Price Index increase. The CPI increase at that time was 7.28%, however per Section 8.2 of said Agreement, the annual adjustment will be no more than 5.0% in any one fiscal year. The increase of 2.28% that exceeded the annual 5.0% cap last year was carried forward to this year.

DISCUSSION:

On March 1, 2025, Waste Management requested the City adjust rates for residential and commercial services by the allowed 5.0% rate increase, as reflected in the attached Schedule of Rates.

The Agreement and subsequent First Amendment with Waste Management allows for an annual review of the commercial and residential refuse rates and an adjustment based on the CPI with a 5.0% cap. The formula is based on the percentage increase in the annual CPI for Garbage and Trash Collection U.S. City Average, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. This year the CPI increase is 4.44% plus last year’s carryover amount of 2.28% bringing the total to 6.72%, however per Section 8.2 annual adjustments will be no more that 5.0% in any one fiscal year. The percentage increase more than the capped amount is 1.72% and will be carried forward to next year and added to future rate increases. Therefore, the 2025-2026 rate adjustment is

5.0%.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may elect to:

1. Not approve the rate increase at this time, resulting in the existing rates remaining in place; or,

2. Provide Staff with Alternative direction

CEQA REVIEW:

The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” under Section 15378(b)(5) of CEQA Guidelines. The action involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

LEGAL REVIEW:

This report and Resolution No 2025-018 has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney as to legal form and content.

STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Enrique C. Zaldivar, Chief Executive Officer
Shirley Quinones, Chief Deputy City Clerk
PREPARED BY:

DATE: June 18, 2025

SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution No. 2025-019 “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park, California,
Appointing Jones Mayer Law as City Attorney of the City of Baldwin Park and Approving a Legal Services Agreement.”

SUMMARY:

Following a request for proposals solicitation and review of proposals by five law firms, the City Council directed the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to make a recommendation for appointing a firm as the city attorney. This report presents Jones Mayer Law as the recommended city attorney.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

2. Approve the Agreement between the City of Baldwin Park and Jones Mayer Law for City Attorney legal services; and

3. Authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement; and

4. Recognize the Letter of Termination Dated March 6, 2025 submitted to the City by Best Best & Krieger LLP; and

5. Authorize the CEO to make non-substantive technical adjustments as necessary.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no fiscal impact. The proposed retainer rate is $24,000 per month or $288,000 per year, which is less than the current expenditures and within the FY 2025-26 annual budget.

BACKGROUND:

On November 16, 2022, Best Best and Krieger (BBK) was appointed as the permanent City Attorney, having served as the interim City Attorney since September of the same year. Following a pronounced escalation of legal costs toward the end of calendar year 2024 incurred by BBK, the City Council directed staff to prepare a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit interest and proposals for City Attorney legal services from other alternative legal firms, while also giving BBK an opportunity to reconsider their cost model.

Request For Qualifications (RFQ) as released on February 6, 2025 to a large pool of potential law firms. On March 6, 2025, BBK submitted a Letter of Termination of Services as City Attorney, effective as of the appointment of a new firm as city attorney.

On March 13, 2025, proposals in response to the RFQ were received from the following five (5) law firms:

Page 46 of 467 ends

Page 2 ends

1. Jones Mayer Law

2. Alvarez-Glasman & Colvin

3. Leal*Trejo

4. Burke, Williams & Sorensen

5. Olivarez Madruga Law

Upon review of the proposals by staff and following a consultation with the City Council, two finalist firms, Jones Mayer Law and Burke, Williams & Sorensen were interviewed by the Executive Team, with Jones and Mayer emerging as the recommended law firm.

DISCUSSION:

Legal services needs of the City generally fall under two categories: city attorney services and litigation representation legal services. BBK has been providing city attorney services on an hourly rate basis ($245/hr? in FY25). Seeing the rapid escalation of city attorney services costs reach as high as $80,000 per month in some months toward the end of 2024, the City Council directed staff to consider a different service rate model based on fixed monthly retainer amount as used by some cities, as a way of containing and mitigating the city’s city attorney costs.

Jones Mayer Law (JM) has offered a very reasonable monthly retainer cost of $24,000 per month for the first 100 hours, based on an hourly rate of $240/hr., for the first two years Further, JM has agreed to honor the same rate of $240/hr. for anything over 100 hours, for the same first two (2 years). Under the monthly retainer model, the City is assured of a fixed monthly flat cost of $24,000, which is payable whether we utilize the 100 hours or not. We anticipate it being adequate coverage, but in case it were not, the hourly rate for the extra hours will be the same at $240/hr. for the extra hours for the first two years, and $260 thereafter. Code enforcement, litigation, and special projects are considered Special Legal services and are not included within the retainer; they are at $260/hr., $300/hr., and $300/hr. respectively.

Upon approval by the City Council, the City agreement with Jones Mayer will be effective on July 1, 2025. At that point, JM will become the City Attorney and BBK will cease being the City Attorney. The agreement with BBK will remain in effect until such time as a full transition for the litigation cases that BBK is handling has been completed.

Jones Mayer Law has designated Christian L. Bettenhausen as the City Attorney, and Brittany E. Roberto as the Assistant City Attorney.

Re: Notice of Termination of Legal Services
Dear Enrique:

Best Best & Krieger LLP (“BBK”) has appreciated the opportunity to provide city attorney legal services to the City of Baldwin Park for more than two years. However, we believe that it is in the best interest of all parties to terminate our engagement as City Attorney.

Pursuant to the Agreement for City Attorney Legal Services between the City and BBK (“Agreement”) dated December 1, 2022, this letter serves as the required 30-day written notice that BBK is terminating the Agreement with respect to Basic Legal Services. BBK will continue to represent the City on active litigation and special matters, unless the City notifies us of its intent to terminate any Special Legal Services rendered.

Provided the City is in compliance with the Agreement, BBK will continue to perform Basic Legal Services as directed by the City, until the City can retain another attorney or law firm to enable a smooth transition. If the City requests that we continue to provide Basic Legal Services until a new City Attorney is appointed, then termination of the Agreement for Basic Legal Services will be effective on April 4, 2025 or until such time as the City appoints a new City Attorney.

Except as otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, the Agreement will remain in full force and effect in all other respects. At the City’s request, we will transition files regarding open active matters that we are no longer handling for the City.

We are pleased that we could be of service to the City and wish you and the City well.

Sincerely,
Norma Tabares
of BEST BEST & KRIEGER LLP

Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
The City of Baldwin Park has prepared the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan in conformance with the requirement to receive Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The Consolidated Plan provides HUD with a comprehensive assessment of the City’s housing and community development needs. The Consolidated Plan also outlines the City’s priorities, objectives, and strategies for the investment of CDBG and HOME funds to address these needs over the next five years, beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2030.

The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, awards grants and loans to nonprofit, for-profit or public organizations for programs and projects in furtherance of this Plan. The primary objectives of the CDBG program are to maintain decent housing, provide suitable living environments, and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income persons. The primary objective of the HOME program is to expand the supply of affordable housing for low- and moderate- income households.

The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan was developed using the template provided by HUD’s Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS), and in accordance with statutory requirements and federal regulations.

1. Introduction
To gather the greatest breadth and depth of information, the City consulted with a variety of agencies, groups, and organizations concerning the housing, community and economic development needs of the community. Each of the agencies, groups or organizations consulted is represented in this section of the Consolidated Plan. The input received from these consultation partners helped establish and inform objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan.

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

The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of its CDBG and HOME programs. As such, the City consulted closely with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services, and other community-focused agencies. Outreach efforts included reaching out to organizations for feedback, sharing survey links, and informing them of public meetings.

The City also recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the upcoming five-year planning period with these organizations and agencies. To facilitate coordination and cooperation, the City will continue to work with these entities through meetings, correspondence, and joint endeavors. The City will strengthen relationships and alignment among these organizations in the implementation of the NOFA process for CDBG and HOME funds and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients of CDBG and HOME funds each year.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

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

BALDWIN PARK 11

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

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS.

The City of Baldwin Park does not receive or allocate Emergency Solutions Grand (ESG) funds. The City collaborates with local service providers, including the CoC, to meet the needs of the homeless and provide regional coverage.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
To ensure the efficient and effective use of resources, the City of Baldwin Park must first assess the community's needs. The Needs Assessment describes and analyzes various demographic and economic indicators to provide a foundation for grant management. By using data gathered from state, local, and federal sources, the City can identify needs based on broad trends in population, income, and household demographics. Primary data sources include the U.S. Census Bureau, HUD, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Once gathered, the data is closely analyzed to explore how family and household dynamics, race, and housing problems are interconnected. The key objective of this Needs Assessment is to identify the nature and extent of housing problems experienced by Baldwin Park residents.

Stakeholder and community survey responses emphasize several priority needs. Affordable housing is one of the most pressing concerns, with stakeholders identifying the need for increased access to housing options for low-income residents, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. In addition, homelessness prevention and supportive services are ranked as very important, particularly in areas where homelessness is prevalent. Employment and workforce training programs also emerged as a critical need, with a focus on skill-building and job placement opportunities. Infrastructure concerns, including improvements to sidewalks, streets, and broadband access, were frequently cited as areas requiring investment to enhance connectivity and public safety. Additionally, respondents highlighted economic development efforts to support small businesses and provide resources for entrepreneurs as a key component of community sustainability.

In addition to demographic analysis, this section examines factors that influence or are influenced by the housing market. These include public housing needs and the needs of individuals facing homelessness and non-homeless special needs populations. Furthermore, non-housing development needs, such as public services and infrastructure, are also evaluated to guide resource allocation decisions.

Each of these issues is analyzed alongside economic and demographic indicators. By understanding the scale and prevalence of housing challenges within Baldwin Park, the City can set evidence-based priorities for its programs. This approach ensures that resources are directed toward the areas and populations that need them most, promoting more equitable outcomes across the community.

NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
The housing needs of a community, like all market economy items, are influenced by supply and demand. However, the factors that impact housing supply and demand are far more complex than simply matching one house to one household. Variables such as population growth, household size, availability of rental housing, income levels, and property conditions all contribute to shaping the community's housing needs.

The following section highlights that the most significant housing challenge in Baldwin Park is the lack of affordable housing. According to the 2019-2023 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates, approximately 7,696 households in the City are cost burdened, representing 43.7% of the population.

Both renters and homeowners are similarly affected, with 4,074 rental households and 3,622 homeowner households paying more than 30% of their income on housing costs. This data suggests that the current housing supply is either insufficient or too expensive to meet the needs of the community.

Residents
Since 2013, Baldwin Park’s population has declined by 6.9%, while the number of households experienced a modest increase of 5.4%. This divergence indicates a reduction in average household size, which may be attributed to demographic shifts such as an aging population or evolving family dynamics.

Economic factors, including the affordability and availability of housing, likely also contribute to this trend.

Over the same period, Baldwin Park’s median household income (MHI) grew by 54.6%, significantly outpacing inflation. While this income growth surpasses inflation, rising home prices and rental costs have outpaced earnings, exacerbating affordability challenges for many residents. These trends highlight the ongoing need for affordable housing investments, rental assistance programs, and homeownership support initiatives to ensure that economic gains contribute to improved housing stability and accessibility across the City.

Change in Population from 2019-2023
Between 2014–2018 and 2019 –2023, Baldwin Park experienced wide -ranged population decline, with most areas seeing a decline of 10% or more. Areas in the central portion of the City shaded in light grey indicate there was insufficient data to report overall population changes for these areas. The overall population shifts suggest changes in residential density driven by factors such as economic opportunities, housing availability, and demographic trends like migration or smaller household sizes. These disparities highlight the need for strategic planning to address declining areas and ensure infrastructure and services support growing neighborhoods effectively.

Median Household Income
The Estimated Median Household Income map below reveals significant economic disparities across Baldwin Park. While many areas report incomes below $70,000, other neighborhoods exceed $80,000, with the highest concentrations of wealth in the northeast and southwest reporting a median household income over $100,000. This uneven distribution highlights the economic divide and underscores the need for targeted investments and programs to improve conditions in lower -income areas, fostering more equitable economic opportunities citywide.

Poverty
The Estimated Percent of All People Living in Poverty map for Baldwin Park highlights a significant socioeconomic divide across the City. Most census tracts throughout the City report poverty rates exceeding 10% with a few tracts represented by darker shading exceeding 20%. In contrast, a few tracts within the central regions have notably lower poverty rates represented by lighter shading report rates below 5%. This disparity emphasizes the need for targeted interventions and investments to address economic challenges in high-poverty areas and promote greater equity citywide.

According to 2017 -2021 CHAS data, approximately 61.5% ( 10,795 households) of Baldwin Park’s households earn below 80% of the HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI), classifying them as low - income. Among these low -income households, small households make up approximately 44.1%, while large households represent only 27%. There are similar findings of elderly households (those with at least one member aged 62 or older) having nearly 62% below 80% HAMFI and 38% above 80% HAMFI. 65% of households with children un der six years of age are found in the low -income bracket. These trends emphasize diverse housing and service needs across age and income groups, highlighting the need for targeted support for these demographics in Baldwin Park.

BALDWIN PARK 26

Among the 2,675 cost-burdened renter households reported in this table, 98.5% earn below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Similarly, 2,819 cost -burdened homeowner households spend 30% or more of their income on housing, with 90.1% earning below 80% AMI.

Overcrowding also presents a significant challenge, affecting approximately 1,470 renter households, of which 90.5% earn below 80% AMI. Additionally, 1,105 homeowner households live in overcrowded conditions, with 77.8% earning below 80% AMI. Overcrowding is defined as living in spaces with more than 1.01 persons per room, further compounding the housing difficulties faced by low-income residents.

Among the total cost -burdened households in the income groups represented, 58.3% of renters and

49.1% of homeowners are classified as severely cost-burdened, with housing expenses exceeding 50% of their household income. These figures underscore the dispro portionate financial strain on low -income households, particularly renters, who also experience higher levels of overcrowding.

Housing Cost-Burdened
The table above, based on 2017 –2021 CHAS data, provides a detailed analysis of cost -burdened households in Baldwin Park within income ranges from 0% to 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI), highlighting variations across different household types. Among cost-burdened renter households, 42.1% are small households, while large households account for 39.7%. For homeowners, approximately 59.5% of small homeowner households are cost-burdened, compared to 21.9% of large homeowner households.

Elderly households also represent a notable portion of cost -burdened residents in Baldwin Park. Among homeowners, 10.6% of elderly households face cost burdens, while 14.9% of elderly renters experience similar challenges. These figures indicate that older residents, regardless of tenure type, face persistent financial pressures related to housing costs, emphasizing the unique vulnerabilities of Baldwin Park’s elderly population within low-income brackets.

Geographic dispariti es in cost -burdened households are further illustrated using ACS data. Maps of Baldwin Park presented in this section show significant variation by block groups, with lower-income areas

exhibiting a higher prevalence of cost -burdened households. Factors such as housing supply constraints and elevated median home values in certain areas contribute to these disparities, highlighting the need for affordable housing initiatives tailored to me et the needs of economically disadvantaged neighborhoods.

Homeowner Cost Burden
Cost-burdened homeowners are prevalent across Baldwin Park, with most neighborhoods throughout the City reporting over 30% of households spending more than 30% of their income on housing, and some exceeding 40%. There are very few areas that have lower rates, with no areas reporting below 20%. This widespread affordability challenge highlights the need f or targeted strategies to address the financial strain on homeowners throughout the City.

Severe Cost Burden
In Baldwin Park, a significant proportion of households are severely cost-burdened, spending over 50% of their income on housing, making them highly vulnerable to financial and housing instability. Among renters facing severe cost burdens, small, related households constitute approximately 39.1%, while large households account for 27%. For homeowners, small, related households represent 36% of those severely cost-burdened, with large households comprising 12.4%. Elderly households are notably impacted, with 18.5% of elderly homeowners and 36.7% of elderly renters experiencing severe cost burdens.

Households with severe cost burdens are at a heightened risk of instability, where minor unexpected expenses—such as rising utility bills or medical costs—can significantly threaten their ability to maintain housing. This financial precarity increases the risk of displacement or homelessness for these residents, particularly those in low-income brackets.

Overcrowding
HUD defines an overcrowded household as one with 1.01 to 1.50 occupants per room, and overcrowding in Baldwin Park varies significantly by housing tenure. Renters account for most overcrowded households, with 1,485 cases for renters compared to 1,140 among homeowners. This issue disproportionately affects lower-income households, with approximately 89.6% of overcrowded renter households and 77.6% of overcrowded homeowner households earning below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI), cl assifying them as low-income.

These findings underscore the significant impact of overcrowding on Baldwin Park’s low -income households, particularly renters, who are more affected by both space and affordability constraints.

Addressing this issue would improve living conditions for affected residents, enhance their quality of life, and reduce the stress associated with overcrowded housing. For the City, alleviating overcrowding could lead to stronger community stability, better health outcomes for residents, and a more equitable distribution of housing resources, fostering long-term economic and social benefits.

Describe the number and type of single-person households in need of housing assistance.

Single-person households in Baldwin Park face significant housing instability risks due to lower income levels and limited resources. According to ACS 2019 –2023 data, the median income for single -person households is $29,949, nearly half the $51,492 median income for two -person households. These

Page 104 of 467 ends

Consolidated Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
BALDWIN PARK 33

households also face transportation challenges, as they are less likely to own a vehicle, which complicates commuting and access to essential services.

Single-person households are more prevalent among homeowners, with 1,172 single-person homeowner households compared to 1,015 renter households. The median rent in Baldwin Park for 2023 is $1,817, requiring an annual income of $72,680 to avoid being cost -burdened. Similarly, the median monthly housing cost for homeowners with a mortgage is $2,254, necessitating a household income of $90,160 to remain financially stable. Given that the median income for a single -person household falls well below both these thresholds, it is reasonable to assume that all 2,187 single-person households in Baldwin Park are likely to require some form of housing assistance. These findings underscore the significant housing affordability challenges faced by single -person households and highlight the need for targeted support, including rental assistance, affordable housing options, and expanded transportation resources to improve their overall stability and access to economic opportunities.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.

Disability
In Baldwin Park, 11.7% of residents —approximately 8,237 individuals —report having a disability, according to 2019 –2023 American Community Survey (ACS) data. The prevalence of residents with a disability increases significantly with age, with over one-third of residents aged 65 and older experiencing some form of disability. This underscores the critical need for housing that accommodates physical and cognitive limitations, enabling safe and in dependent living for older adults and other individuals with disabilities.

Ambulatory difficulty, affecting nearly 4 ,443 residents, is the most reported disability and often necessitates accessibility features like ground -level units, ramps, and other mobility -friendly modifications. Other prevalent disabilities include independent living difficulty and cognitive impairments, which may require in -home support services, counseling, or placement in suppo rtive housing communities. Developing inclusive housing strategies that address these needs is essential to ensuring that all residents in Baldwin Park have access to safe and supportive living environments.

Survivors of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Accurate crime statistics for incidents like family violence, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault are challenging to collect due to significant underreporting. Many survivors refrain from reporting due to fears of retaliation, concerns about child custody, or limited economic and housing resources, highlighting the importance of accessible resources for safety and stability.

According to California’s OPENJUSTICE database, the Baldwin Park Police Department received 138 domestic violence calls in 2023, with 15 involving weapons. This represents an almost 24% decrease from

Page 105 of 467 ends

Consolidated Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
BALDWIN PARK 34

2022, which recorded 180 domestic violence incidents. In 2023, Baldwin Park reported 332 violent crimes, including 40 sexual crimes. These included 20 incidents of rape (forcible rape prior to 2014) and 20 incidents of rape (other). This reflects an increase from 2022, which reported 28 sexual crimes.

The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that only 42% of violent victimizations are reported to law enforcement. Applying this estimate to Baldwin Park’s 2023 data suggests that approximately 96 sexual offenses may have occurred. These figures emphasize t he critical need for robust housing and support services to assist survivors in achieving safety, stability, and recovery.

What are the most common housing problems?
Baldwin Park faces significant housing challenges, including cost burdens, low vacancy rates, overcrowding, aging housing stock, and housing instability. Cost burden remains a critical issue, particularly among lower-income households, many of whom spend over 30% of their income on housing, with a substantial portion allocating more than half of their income. This underscores the urgent need for affordable housing to reduce financial strain. Overcrowding is another prevalent issue, primarily affecting lower-income renters due to the limited availability of affordable, family-sized units.

According to 2019 –2023 ACS data, Baldwin Park had only 360 vacant housing units. Homeownership opportunities are particularly constrained, with only 0.5% of homeowner properties laying vacant compared to 1.2% of rental properties. This scarcity contributes to overcrowding and housing instability, disproportionately affecting single-person households, elderly residents, and lower-income families, who often struggle to secure stable housing and access essential services.

The City’s aging housing stock presents additional challenges. HUD guidelines highlight lead -based paint hazards (LBPHs) as a significant risk in homes built before 1978. In Baldwin Park, 13,566 housing units were constructed before 1980, with 3,201 predating 1950. These older units are more likely to have lead- based paint hazards, along with other potential environmental hazards like asbestos, and likely require ongoing safety updates.

Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Baldwin Park faces significant housing challenges, including cost burdens, low vacancy rates, overcrowding, aging housing stock, and housing instability. Cost burden is particularly severe among lower-income households, with many spending over 30% —and in s ome cases more than half —of their income on housing. This highlights the urgent need for affordable housing options to alleviate financial strain. Overcrowding, driven by a shortage of affordable family-sized units, is also common among lower- income renters.

Homeownership opportunities in Baldwin Park remain constrained, with 10,627 owner -occupied units compared to 7,536 renter-occupied units and a homeowner vacancy rate of 0.5%, based on 2019 –2023 ACS data. This limited availability exacerbates overcrowding a nd housing instability, disproportionately

impacting single-person households, elderly residents, and lower-income families who struggle to secure stable housing and essential services.

Additionally, HUD guidelines identify lead-based paint hazards (LBPHs) as a significant risk in older homes, especially those built before 1978. In Baldwin Park, 13,566 housing units, accounting for nearly three - quarters of all housing —were constructed before 1980, with 3,201 built before 1950. These older uni ts are more likely to have lead -based paint hazards, along with other potential environmental hazards like asbestos, and likely require ongoing safety updates.

Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance.

In Baldwin Park, low-income individuals and families with children, especially those classified as extremely low-income, face significant challenges that place them at imminent risk of homelessness. The shortage of affordable housing has worsened over the years, leaving many households unable to find low -cost rental options. Severely cost-burdened families often spend more than half of their income on housing, making it difficult to afford other necessities such as food, healthcare, and transportation. Overcrowding is also common, particularly among families unable to secure affordable family-sized units, increasing the risk of housing instability and eviction.

Formerly homeless families and individuals receiving rapid re-housing assistance face difficulties as their support period ends. While these programs provide temporary financial aid and services, many participants still struggle with securing stable employment and maintaining housing costs once assistance expires. Without continued support or access to affordable housing, some may face the risk of returning to homelessness. Addressing these challenges requires expanding affordable housing options, extending support services, and improving access to sustainable employment opportunities.

If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates.

The City does not provide estimates of at -risk populations that have not already been included in this report.

Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
In Baldwin Park, several housing characteristics contribute to instability and an increased risk of homelessness. The City's high percentage of older housing stock often requires expensive repairs and updates to meet safety standards, leaving many properties vulnerable to deferred maintenance or

structural issues that may render them uninhabitable. Low -income tenants are particularly at risk of displacement if they cannot afford the necessary repairs. Furthermore, inadequate maintenance and lack of essential repairs —such as plumbing, heating, and electrical work—can lead to health hazards, often forcing residents to vacate or face eviction, especially when they lack resources to address or contest substandard conditions.

The limited housing availability, with only 1.9% of units vacant, coupled with the shortage of affordable options—as evidenced by the high prevalence of cost -burdened households —exacerbates these challenges, underscoring the need for affordable and stable housing solutions in Baldwin Park.

NA-35 Public Housing – 91.205(b)
Introduction
Public housing and affordable housing programs in Baldwin Park are designed to provide safe and affordable rental opportuniti es for low - and moderate-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. The Housing Authority of Baldwin Park adminis ters the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, offering rental assistance that enables eligible households to secure housing in the private ma rket while maintaining affordability through federally funded subsidies. At the time of this report , the City’s Section 8 waiting list is closed, and new applications are not being accepted.

In addition to managing the HCV program, the City of Baldwin Park’s Housing Division oversees Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs, which support housing rehabilitation, public facility improvements, and community development initiatives aimed at enhancing quality of life for residents. The City also works in partnership with nonprofit organizations, private developers, and regional agencies to expand affordable housing options, with a particular focus on addressing the needs of se niors, individuals with disabilities, and other vulnerable populations.

While Baldwin Park administers its own housing programs, it also collaborates with the Los Angeles County Development Authori ty (LACDA) to align local policies with broader regional housing initiatives and to explore additional funding opportunities. This section provides an overview of Baldwin Park’s existing affordable housing programs and initiatives, highlighting efforts to ensure that housing assistance reaches those in greatest need. Further analysis will examine the demographic characteristics of pro gram participants to help guide future housing policies and resource allocation.

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

Public housing tenants and applicants in Baldwin Park who require accessible units often include seniors and individuals with disabilities. These individuals may need accommodation such as wheelchair - accessible features, modified kitchens and bathrooms, and units located on the ground floor or with elevator access. The demand for these units exceeds availability, resulting in extended waiting times for those in need. Additionally, many applicants require supportive services, such as in -home assistance, transportation, and medical accommodations, to maintain independent living.

Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders.

Individuals covered under Section 504 in Baldwin Park often face immediate needs related to housing accessibility, reasonable accommodation, and supportive services. Many require housing units with accessible features such as widened doorways, roll -in showers, and lower countertops to accommodate mobility impairments. Additionally, the need for reasonable modifications, including visual and auditory alert systems for individuals with sensory impairments, is crucial.

Beyond physical modifications, many individuals with disabilities require assistance securing stable housing due to financial limitations, a lack of available accessible units, and long waiting lists. Supportive services, such as in -home assistance, transportation, and healthcare access, are also essential for maintaining independent living. Ensuring compliance with Section 504 by increasing accessible housing options and improving access to supportive resources is critical to addressing these needs.

How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large.

Individuals who require accommodation under Section 504 face unique housing challenges compared to the general population. While many residents of Baldwin Park experience affordability and availability issues, individuals with disabilities require addition al considerations, including accessible unit modifications and compliance with federal accessibility standards. The limited supply of accessible housing often forces individuals to wait significantly longer than others in need of housing assistance.

Additionally, the need for reasonable accommodation, such as live -in aides or modified lease terms, further complicates access to appropriate housing. Ensuring compliance with Section 504 and increasing the availability of accessible units remain critical priorities in addressing these disparities.

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

Homelessness is a complex issue that affects communities across the United States, and its challenges stem from a combination of overlapping and interrelated factors. The causes of homelessness rarely arise from a single issue, but rather from the converge nce of multiple events and conditions. Economically, homelessness can result from unemployment, a lack of affordable housing, or poverty. Health factors such as mental illness, physical disabilities, HIV/AIDS, and substance abuse also contribute significan tly to housing instability. Additionally, social issues like domestic violence, educational attainment, and racial disparities play a role. Since these factors are often interconnected, addressing homelessness requires a collaborative, community -based appr oach that considers economic, health, and social dimensions simultaneously.

The Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act defines the “homeless” or “homeless individual” or “homeless person” as an individual who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate night -time residence; and who has a primary night-time residence that is:
● A supervised publicly or privately -operated shelter designed to provide temporary living accommodations (including welfare hotels, congregate shelters, and transitional housing for the mentally ill)
● An institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized ● A public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings
The Los Angeles City and County Continuum of Care (CoC) coordinates the region’s response to homelessness, including conducting the annual Point -In-Time (PIT) Count. The PIT Count is conducted annually in late January to get a snapshot of sheltered and unsheltered homelessness in the reg ion. The data in this section comes from the 2024 PIT Count, conducted by the CA-600 Los Angeles City and County CoC for Service Planning Area 3 (SPA), which includes the city of Baldwin Park

2024 Homeless Count: Baldwin Park

The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) provides localized data through its Homeless Count by City Dashboard. The local count conducted in January 2024 for Baldwin Park identified 112 individuals experiencing homelessness that were residing in shelters, 56 individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness, and 44 residing in improvised dwellings, such as cars, vans, RVs, or tents, or makeshift shelters. These 2024 local totals for Baldwin Park, or 168 observed individuals experiencing homelessness, represent a very slight decrease from the previous year (2023) when 188 homeless individuals were observed. However, these figures do not include individuals who are sheltered through voucher programs or residing in facilities with confidential addresses.

If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth).
● Chronically Homeless Individuals and Families: Chronically homeless individuals and families are those who experience long-term or repeated episodes of homelessness, often for a year or more.

This population frequently faces mental health challenges, substance use disorders, or physical disabilities that complicate efforts to find and retain stable housing. Due to the enduring nature of their homelessness, these individuals and families typically require intensive support services and permanent supportive housing to achieve housing stability. ● Families with Children: Families experiencing homelessness with children consist of one or more adults with minor dependents. These families often experience homelessness due to economic hardship, domestic violence, or lack of affordable housing. Homelessness can have particular ly adverse effects on children, disrupting their education, healthcare access, and overall well-being.

Providing stable housing for these families is essential to support the developmental needs of children and promote family stability.
● Veterans and Their Families: Veterans experiencing homelessness often have unique needs related to physical or mental health, such as post -traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or physical disabilities acquired during military service. Veterans are more likely than the general population to experience homelessness, and they frequently benefit from tailored services, such as specialized healthcare and housing assistance. Although most data focus on individual veterans, families of veterans may also face housing i nstability, especially when veterans face barriers to employment or healthcare.
● Unaccompanied Youth: Unaccompanied youth experiencing homelessness are young individuals, typically under 25, who are without parental or guardian care. This population often includes those who have aged out of foster care, fled abusive households, or faced family rejection due to sexual orientation or other factors. Unaccompanied youth face unique vulnerabilities, including limited access to education, healthcare, and employment, and they are at higher risk for exploitation and mental health issues. Targeted interventions are essential to support these youth and help them transition to stable, independent living.

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

The table above presents data from the Los Angeles City and County Continuum of Care (CoC) 2024 Point- In-Time (PIT) count for Service Planning Area 3 (SPA), highlights the significant housing needs of families with children experiencing homelessness. Among the total homeless population, there were 626 individuals within families with children that were experiencing sheltered homelessness on the night of the count, while 137 individuals within families with children were experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Collectively, these families included 33 individuals under the age of 18, demonstrating the substantial presence of children in need of stable housing solutions. The high number of unsheltered families underscores the urgent need for interventions to address both immediate shelter needs and long- term housing stability for families with children. There were no Veterans in families with children identified during the 2024 PIT count.

Addressing the housing needs of these families with children requires expanded access to affordable housing, tailored support services, and programs designed to promote long-term housing stability. These efforts are essential for ensuring that vulnerable p opulations can transition out of homelessness and achieve a higher quality of life.

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

Based on data from the Los Angeles City and County Continuum of Care (CoC) 2024 Point -In-Time (PIT) count for Service Planning Area 3 (SPA), there were a total of 1,213 individuals experiencing sheltered homelessness and 3,630 individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness.

Among the sheltered homeless population, approximately 35% were White individuals, 44% Black/African American individuals, and 46% Hispanic individuals.

Of the unsheltered homeless population, approximately 27% were White individuals, 12% were Black/African American individuals, and 65% were Hispanic individuals. Hispanic individuals represented the largest demographic group among unsheltered individuals, reflecting unique challenges in accessing housing stability.

This demographic data underscores the need for targeted interventions to address the racial and ethnic inequities within the homeless population, ensuring that resources are equitably distributed and tailored to meet the specific needs of these communities.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction
This section includes an assessment of non -homeless special needs groups in the City, including the elderly, developmentally disabled, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS, and persons with drug and alcohol addictions. Services for these populations are critical in the prevention of homelessness.

Common special needs populations identified in the City’s Consolidated Plan public/stakeholders’ forums included senior households and people in need of non-traditional childcare.

Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community.

Elderly: The elderly population in Baldwin Park faces distinct challenges, making access to affordable and suitable housing essential. Staying in familiar environments is both medically and emotionally beneficial for seniors, which is why maintaining an independen t lifestyle is a priority. However, many elderly individuals live on fixed incomes or have disabilities, creating financial pressures that limit their independence. As living costs rise, seniors often struggle to increase their income to keep up with inflation.

According to 2019-2023 ACS data, approximately 9,975 individuals in Baldwin Park are over the age of 65, representing 14.1% of the population. Among them, approximately 36.3% have a disability, and 15.1% live below the poverty level. Elderly households are predominantly homeowners, with 75% owning their homes. These figures underscore the need for housing affordability initiatives and support services to help Baldwin Park's aging population maintain stability and independence.

HIV/AIDS: In Baldwin Park, various housing programs funded by federal, state, and local resources aim to support vulnerable populations, including low -income households and individuals facing health challenges such as HIV/AIDS. While specific HIV/AIDS data for Baldw in Park are unavailable, Los Angeles County's 2022 HIV Surveillance Report indicates that 53,599 people are living with diagnosed HIV (PLWDH) countywide. This population faces significant challenges, including racial disparities and housing instability, which negatively impact health outcomes.

Black/African Americans and Hispanic individuals experience higher rates of new HIV diagnoses and lower rates of viral suppression compared to White individuals in Los Angeles County. Additionally, approximately 20% of PLWDH in the county reported housing instability, underscoring the critical need for stable and affordable housing to support effective medical care and treatment adherence.

Affordable housing programs in Baldwin Park play a crucial role in supporting residents with chronic health conditions, including those living with HIV/AIDS. Stable housing not only improves health outcomes but also helps low-income individuals and families manage the dual burdens of healthcare costs and housing affordability. By addressing both housing and healthcare needs, these programs contribute to long -term stability and well-being for Baldwin Park's most vulnerable residents.

BALDWIN PARK 51

Alcohol and Drug Addiction: Substance use disorders are a critical concern in Baldwin Park, mirroring trends observed across Los Angeles County. Alcohol and opioids, including prescription opioids and heroin, are the substances most associated with hospitalizations. Countywide data from 2022 reported approximately 131,365 emergency department (ED) visits due to alcohol -related health issues and 129,449 hospitalizations related to alcohol and illicit drug use. Additionally, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health noted that 54% of adults aged 18 and older consumed alcohol at least once in the past month, with 18% engaging in binge drinking —defined as consuming five or more drinks on a single occasion for men or four or more drinks for women.

Opioid-related issues also remain a significant concern. In 2021, Los Angeles County reported 16,663 opioid-related ED visits and 11,022 hospitalizations. Alarmingly, accidental fentanyl overdose deaths increased dramatically, reaching 1,910 deaths in 2022, reflecting a staggering 1,652% increase since 2016.

These figures highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions to address opioid misuse and overdose prevention.

Baldwin Park, like many other communities, faces the challenge of combating substance use issues through comprehensive support services. These include increased access to prevention programs, treatment options for substance use disorders, and public awareness campaigns aimed at reducing misuse. Expanding resources to address both alcohol and opioid -related concerns will be critical in supporting the health and safety of Baldwin Park residents.

Disability: In Baldwin Park, 8,237 individuals live with a disability, representing 11.7% of the population.

Disability rates naturally increase with age, as older residents are more likely to experience one or more disabilities. Disabilities are less common among ch ildren, with 600 individuals 17 years and younger reporting a disability, and 62 reported cases under the age of 5. However, this demographic still requires attention. Households with children who have disabilities may need additional support an d resources to address their unique needs, emphasizing the importance of targeted services for this group.

What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
Elderly: Housing options for the elderly range from independent living to assisted living, nursing homes, and support facilities like adult day care. Key considerations include location, affordability, proximity to healthcare and essential services, and ease of upkeep. As health issues become more common with age, elderly individuals benefit from access to healthcare and assistance with daily activities such as shopping and housekeeping. Proximity to essential services and reliable transportation is critica l as mobility decreases, and safety becomes a growing concern for those living alone.

Providing secure, affordable housing for the elderly is vital. Access to healthcare, shopping, social networks, and public transportation supports seniors in maintaining independence. Additionally, housing

Page 123 of 467 ends

Consolidated Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
BALDWIN PARK 52

may require modifications to address disabilities that often arise with aging, further ensuring a safe and supportive living environment.

Alcohol and Drug Addiction: Individuals with substance abuse problems require a comprehensive support network to maintain sobriety and overall health. Their housing needs often include sober living environments that provide a structured, substance -free setting conducive to recovery. Access to employment support services is also critical, as stable income can be a key factor in maintaining long-term sobriety. Additionally, housing should be located near health facilities for ongoing medical and psychological treatment, as well as close to family and social networks that can offer emotional support.

Detoxification facilities are essential at the onset of treatment, offering medical supervision during the withdrawal process. These facilities, along with rehabilitation centers, provide the foundation for recovery. Access to such resources, coupled with stable housing and employment, plays a crucial role in breaking the cycle of addiction and preventing relapses. Long -term housing stability, combined with ongoing access to medical and social support services, is key to helping individuals with substance abuse issues rebuild their lives.

Disability: Individuals with disabilities represent a diverse population with varying levels of independence and abilities. While they face many of the same housing challenges as the general population, they also have unique needs based on their capabilities. Many in dividuals with disabilities rely on a fixed income, limiting their housing options. Those with greater independence often utilize subsidized housing, while individuals requiring more support typically reside in community homes funded by public w elfare or privately-owned personal care settings. Some adults with disabilities continue to live with their families throughout adulthood.

Regardless of the type of housing, continuous support services are crucial and must be tailored to each individual's abilities. These services may include assistance with daily living activities, transportation, or medical care. The availability of these s upport systems is essential to ensure that individuals with disabilities can maintain a stable and comfortable living environment, promoting independence and improving their quality of life.

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

While specific HIV/AIDS data for Baldwin Park are unavailable, Los Angeles County's 2022 HIV Surveillance Report indicates that within the Los Angeles Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area (EMSA), which includes Baldwin Park, there were 53,599 people living with diagnosed HIV (PLWDH) as of 2022. Black/Af rican Americans and Hispanic individuals are disproportionately affected, with higher rates of new diagnoses and lower viral suppression compared to White individuals. Housing instability impacts approximately 20% of PLWDH, emphasizing the critical need for stable housing to support effective treatment and care.

Families impacted by HIV/AIDS often face additional challenges, including economic instability and barriers to accessing comprehensive healthcare and supportive services.

NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs – 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities.

Baldwin Park has identified a significant need to enhance its public facilities, particularly in expanding parkland and recreational spaces. The Los Angeles Countywide Comprehensive Park & Recreation Needs Assessment categorized Baldwin Park as an area with a "very high park need," noting that only 22% of the population lives within a half mile of a park, and the City offers merely 0.3 park acres per 1,000 residents, substantially lower than the county average of 3.3 acres. This deficiency underscores the necessity for additional public facilities to promote community well-being.

To address these challenges, the City has prioritized the development of new parks and the improvement of existing recreational facilities. Proposed projects include constructing new parks in underserved areas, adding amenities like dog parks and pocket parks, and enhancing infrastructure within current parks.

These initiatives aim to provide equitable access to recreational opportunities for all residents.

How were these needs determined?
The needs were identified through comprehensive assessments and community engagement efforts. The Los Angeles Countywide Comprehensive Park Needs Assessment provided detailed metrics on park accessibility and acreage deficits. Additionally, community input gathered via surveys highlighted residents' desires for improved recreational spaces and facilities. This combination of empirical data and community feedback informed the City's strategic planning for public facility enhancements.

Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements.

Baldwin Park has recognized the necessity for substantial public improvements, particularly in infrastructure enhancements within low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The City's Annual Action Plan emphasizes the importance of activities such as infrastructure improvements, such as street and sidewalk updates, and code enforcement to improve housing and commercial structures. These improvements are essential to prevent further deterioration of neighborhoods and to enhance the overall quality of life for residents.

How were these needs determined?
The identification of these needs resulted from consultations with the City of Baldwin Park Public Works and Community Development Departments, as well as Citizen and Stakeholder Needs Assessment Surveys. These consultations and surveys revealed a need for infrastructure improvements and public facility enhancements to support neighborhood preservation and community development.

Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services.

Baldwin Park has identified a critical need for a variety of public services targeting low - and moderate- income residents, as well as special needs populations. According to the 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment by Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center, residents in the Baldwin Park service area face challenges such as lower median household incomes, higher poverty rates, and higher unemployment rates compared to state averages. These socioeconomic factors contribute to an increased demand for public services, including affordable childcare, education, arts and recreation programs, and services addressing domestic violence and developmental disabilities.

How were these needs determined?
The needs for public services were determined through a combination of data analysis and community consultations. The 2022 Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center Community Health Needs Assessment provided quantitative data on income, employment, and housing challenges faced by residents. Additionally, Citizen and Stakeholder Needs Assessment Surveys, along with consultations with organizations providing services to special needs populations, revealed a high demand for a range of additional services. These comprehensive assessments informed the City's prioritization of public services to support its vulnerable populations.

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview
Originally an agricultural settlement, Baldwin Park has transformed into a dynamic suburban city with a diverse population and a strong sense of community. The local economy is supported by key industries such as manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and professional services, contributing to a steady demand for both affordable and market-rate housing.

The City's population consists of families, seniors, and young professionals, all of whom contribute to Baldwin Park’s inclusive and vibrant community. The housing stock is predominantly older, with many homes built during the mid-20th century, particularly following World War II. While a significant portion of these homes remain in fair condition, many require rehabilitation to meet modern standards for safety, energy efficiency, and accessibility. Limited housing availability has contributed to a competitive market, making affordability a growing concern, particularly for lower-income households and renters.

Baldwin Park faces several key housing and community development challenges. There is a strong demand for affordable and accessible housing options, especially for low-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. Economic development remains a priority, with a need for workforce training programs and job creation efforts to strengthen the financial stability of residents. Additionally, infrastructure improvements that include enhancements to public facilities, roadways, and utility systems are critical to maintaining the City’s livability and supporting long-term growth.

A comprehensive approach to addressing these challenges will help improve Baldwin Park’s housing market, foster economic resilience, and enhance overall quality of life. By investing in housing, economic development, and infrastructure, the City can ensure a more sustainable and prosperous future for all residents.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Baldwin Park is experiencing a significant shortage of affordable housing, particularly in small to medium- sized units suitable for both growing families and elderly households, as identified in local housing assessments. This shortage is evident in the hi gh rate of cost -burdened households, with many families spending more than 30% of their income on housing. Overcrowding is also a prevalent issue among small family households, highlighting the urgent need for more affordable housing options that can reduc e financial strain and better accommodate larger household sizes within the City.

Describe the need for specific types of housing.

Baldwin Park faces a critical need for specific housing types to address the diverse needs of its residents.

There is a shortage of affordable rental units for low-income households, particularly those earning below 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Many of these households are severely cost-burdened and at risk of housing instability. There is also strong demand for small to medium-sized owner-occupied units, which could accommodate growing families and elderly residents seeking accessible, downsized living spaces.

The supply of ADA-compliant housing in Baldwin Park is limited, creating challenges for elderly residents and individuals with disabilities who require modifications such as ramps, grab bars, and zero-step entries to maintain independent living. Rising hom e prices and interest rates, as well as a lack of housing inventory, further limit homeownership opportunities for families, emphasizing the need for affordable options like townhomes or small single-family homes.

HUD FMR and HOME Rent Limit
Fair Market Rents (FMRs) are set by HUD and used to determine payment standard amounts for HUD Programs. HUD annually estimates FMRs for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) defined metropolitan areas, some HUD defined subdivisions of OMB metropolitan areas and each nonmetropolitan county.

HOME Rents Limits are based on FMRs published by HUD. HOME Rent Limits are the maximum amount that may be charged for rent in HOME-assisted rental units and are applicable to new HOME leases.

The City of Baldwin Park is part of the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, CA HUD Metro Fair Market Rent (FMR) Area. According to HUD's 2024 calculations, the FMRs for this metro area range from $1,777 for an efficiency unit to $3,600 for a four -bedroom unit. According to 2019 -2023 ACS data, two - and three- bedroom units are the most occupied rental types in Baldwin Park, with FMRs of $2,544 for a two - bedroom and $3,263 for a three-bedroom. For a household to afford this rent without being considered cost-burdened (spending over 30% of income on housing costs), an annual income of approximately

Page 139 of 467 ends

Consolidated Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
BALDWIN PARK 68

$101,760 would be required to rent a two-bedroom and $130,520 to rent a three-bedroom, assuming the household has no other housing expenses.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? As outlined in NA-10 and based on very low vacancy rates, Baldwin Park faces a shortage of all housing, particularly for low -income households. This shortage is evident in the high rate of cost -burdened households, the high rate of overcrowded housing, and very low vacancy rates housing consisting of 0.5% vacancy of homeowner units and 1.2% vacancy of rental units.

How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
The rising housing costs for renters and homeowners in Baldwin Park reflect broader trends in the regional housing market. While growth in housing costs may slow due to economic or policy shifts, a significant reversal is unlikely without major interventions. To address affordability challenges and reduce the risk of housing instability, a substantial increase in affordable housing units is necessary. Expanding affordable housing options will help alleviate cost burdens for low - and moderate -income households, thereby reducing the risk of homelessness and fostering greater community stability. Without these efforts, many residents will continue to struggle with housing affordability and face potential displacement.

How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? In 2023, the median rent in Baldwin Park was $1,672, placing it below all Fair Market Rental Limits and below the Low HOME Rent Limit for 3 - and 4-bedroom units and below High HOME Rent Limit for units with 2 or more bedrooms. While falling within HUDs ranges for Fair Market Rental Limits, external factors such as other housing costs and lower income levels contribute to affordability challenges throughout the City.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
The tables and maps in this section offer insights into the condition of housing units across Baldwin Park by examining factors such as age, vacancy rates, and the occurrence of housing issues. HUD defines the four housing problems as:

1. Homes lacking complete or adequate kitchen facilities

2. Homes lacking complete or adequate plumbing facilities

3. Overcrowding, meaning there is more than one person per room

4. Households that are cost burdened, spending more than 30% of their income on housing costs.

These factors provide a comprehensive overview of housing quality and affordability challenges throughout the City.

Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation."
In Baldwin Park, housing classified as being in "standard condition" complies with the California Building Code (CBC), which incorporates the International Building Code (IBC) as adopted and amended by the state of California. Housing in standard condition is structurally sound, provides safe and adequate shelter, and adheres to all applicable building, health, and safety regulations. These units are fully habitable, free from significant defects, and meet both local and state housing codes, ensuring a safe living environment for residents.

Substandard Condition but Suitable for Rehabilitation
Housing classified as "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation" does not meet minimum safety and habitability standards but can be restored with reasonable repairs and improvements. This classification aligns with the definitions provided in the California Health and Safety Code and federal regulations under 24 CFR § 5.425. Common issues found in substandard housing include structural deficiencies, inadequate plumbing or electrical systems, lack of heating, or other habitability concerns that render the unit unsafe or unlivable. However, properties in this category can be rehabilitated to meet code requirements without extensive reconstruction, making them viable for preservation.

Baldwin Park prioritizes the rehabilitation of substandard housing as part of its broader efforts to maintain and improve its affordable housing stock. By aligning with state and federal guidelines, the City supports programs and initiatives that ensure safe, habitable environments for all residents while preventing further deterioration of existing housing.

Renters are more likely to experience housing problems, with approximately 64.5% of renters affected, compared to 47.7% of homeowne rs. Very few households face multiple housing issues, and based on data presented in the Needs Assessment, the most common housing problem seems to be cost burden. This indicates that many households are struggling to afford their housing costs, which remains a critical issue for the city.

Year Unit Built
In Baldwin Park, most of the housing stock was constructed before 1980, placing a significant number of units at risk for lead-based paint hazards due to the widespread use of lead paint prior to its 1978 ban. An estimated 74.8% of owner -occupied units and 71.4% of renter -occupied units fall into this category, potentially exposing approximately 13,335 households to lead -based paint hazards. This presents a substantial public health concern, particularly for families with young children who are most vulnera ble to the harmful effects of lead exposure. Addressing this issue requires targeted mitigation efforts, such as

Page 142 of 467 ends

lead-based paint abatement programs, inspections, and community outreach, to reduce risks in older homes and protect Baldwin Park's residents.

Age of Housing
The Estimated Percent of All Housing Units Built in 1979 or Before map underscores the prevalence of older housing units throughout Baldwin Park, where homes built before 1980 make up most of the City’s housing stock. In most neighborhoods, over 60% of housing units were constructed before 1980, with some areas exceeding 80%. This trend highlights the challenges posed by aging housing infrastructure, such as the need for regular maintenance, moderni zation, and compliance with modern building codes.

Ensuring safety, improving energy efficiency, and addressing these aging structures is crucial for the City’s long-term housing stability and sustainability.

Lead-Based Paint Hazard
As mentioned previously, any housing unit built prior to 1980 may contain lead-based paint in portions of the home. The most common locations are window and door frames, walls, and ceilings, and in some cases throughout the entire home. Thus, it is generally accepted that these homes at least have a risk of lead-based paint hazards and should be tested in accordance with HUD standards. Within the City there are approximately 13,335 total units built prior to 1980 according to 2017-2021 CHAS Data. Based on this data, we can estimate that there are around 2,424 units at risk of having a Lead -Based Paint Hazard that have children under the age of 6 present.

However, there are concentrated areas of slightly higher vacancy rates in neighborhoods located along the southern perimeter and within one central area of the City where tracts exceed 4% vacancy rate . This uneven distribution suggests possible localized issues, such as housing conditions, market demand, or economic factors contributing to higher vacancies in these areas. Addressing these localized vacancy challenges requires targeted strategies, such as revitalizing underutilized housing stock and encouraging occupancy while ensuring an adequate housing supply citywide to meet demand.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
The City of Baldwin Park faces an increasing demand for housing rehabilitation, driven by the aging housing stock prevalent throughout the community. Many homes, particularly those constructed during the mid -20th century, now require significant repairs an d upgrades to meet modern safety, energy efficiency, and accessibility standards. This need is especially critical for low -income households, who often lack the financial resources to address essential maintenance. Failure to rehabilitate these homes can l ead to unsafe living conditions, further deterioration of properties, and potential displacement.

Investing in housing rehabilitation efforts is crucial for preserving the City’s housing stock, improving the quality of life for residents, and ensuring long-term community stability.

Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low- or Moderate-Income Families with LBP Hazards
Housing units in Baldwin Park built before 1980 pose a significant risk of lead -based paint (LBP) hazards, commonly found in window frames, door frames, walls, and ceilings. According to available data, 74.8% of owner-occupied units and 71.4% of renter-occupied units in the City fall into the high-risk category for potential LBP exposure. Based on the high prevalence of low-income families in Baldwin Park, It is safest to assume that all 13,335 units built prior to 1980 pose a risk for LBP hazards and may require attention.

These households face increased health risks associated with LBP exposure, including developmental delays in children and severe health complications for other vulnerable populations. To address this critical issue, targeted interventions are needed, start ing with comprehensive LBP hazard testing and abatement programs. Homes occupied by LMI households should be prioritized to mitigate these risks and improve living conditions.

Describe the supply of public housing developments.

Baldwin Park offers a range of affordable housing options, including one public housing facility with 12 units designated for low -income seniors. Additionally, the City has six (6) HUD multifamily housing developments under Section 8 contracts, including one Section 202 property that provides 74 more units specifically for low -income seniors. In total, there are 382 assisted housing units in the City, with 86 designated for seniors. However, the demand for affordable housing continues to exceed the availabl e supply, highlighting the ongoing need for additional housing options to support low -income households and seniors.

Describe the number and physical condition of public housing units in the jurisdiction, including those that are participating in an approved Public Housing Agency Plan.

While most of the developments mentioned above are HUD-subsidized multifamily properties, each unit must meet HUD standards and undergo regular public housing inspection processes. The Housing Authority of the City of Baldwin Park (HACBP) administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, providing rental assistance to eligible low -income households and ensuring compliance with HUD regulations. The primary goal of this program is to help low -income individuals and families afford housing within the private rental market.

Currently, there is a lengthy waiting list of 5,000 individuals for the Section 8 program, and the waitlist is currently closed to new applicants. Applicants are selected based on the date of their preliminary application and voucher availability.

Below is the most recent inspection score for Baldwin Park’s public housing development, followed by a detailed assessment of its condition.

environment for residents. In response to identified needs, the City Council approved a contract with A-1 Concrete & Construction Inc. to replace the roof at McNeill Manor, addressing structural concerns and improving overall safety.

Beyond fire safety deficiencies and roof repairs, further revitalization efforts should focus on evaluating and upgrading building systems, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards, and enhancing common areas to improve the quality of life for residents. A comprehensive assessment of the property would help identify additional necessary upgrades to preserve the long -term viability of this public housing development. By prioritizing these improvements, Baldwin Park can ensure that McNeill Manor remains a safe and well-maintained affordable housing option for low-income seniors.

Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderate-income families residing in public housing.

The Baldwin Park Housing Authority (BPHA) has implemented a multifaceted strategy to enhance the living environment for low- and moderate-income families residing in public and affordable housing. This approach focuses on expanding affordable housing optio ns, preserving existing housing stock, and providing essential public services.
• Expanding Affordable Housing:

Recognizing the significant number of severely cost -burdened households, BPHA prioritizes the development of additional affordable housing units. This initiative addresses the pressing need for affordable housing in Baldwin Park.
• Preserving Existing Housing Stock:

To maintain the quality of existing affordable housing, BPHA emphasizes the rehabilitation of aging housing units. Given that a substantial portion of Baldwin Park's housing stock is over 30 years old, the agency supports programs that assist low - and mode rate-income homeowners in making necessary repairs. This strategy ensures that current housing remains safe and habitable, preventing further deterioration.
• Providing Essential Public Services:

BPHA also invests in public services that enhances residents' quality of life. These services include affordable childcare, educational programs, arts and recreation initiatives, and support for individuals with special needs. By offering these resources, the agency aims to foster a supportive community environment for all residents.

Through this comprehensive strategy, BPHA strives to improve the living conditions of low- and moderate- income families, ensuring access to safe, affordable, and well-maintained housing options.
