SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty -Level Families As noted, Federal and state safety net programs contribute to reducing poverty. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS), the number of Bellflower residents who, as of February 2025, participated in three safety net programs is as follows:
• CalWORKs 1,740
• General Relief 239
• CalFresh 10,883
The City of Bellflower is dedicated to reducing poverty rates among its residents and within its neighborhoods. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines neighborhoods of extreme poverty as those where the poverty rate exceeds 40% or is three times the poverty rate of the metropolitan area, whichever is low er. Over the next five years, the City believes that focusing on the working poor and jobless adults actively seeking employment will be the most effective way to reduce poverty. When evaluating programs for funding with its Community Development Block Gra nt (CDBG) funds, the City prioritizes services that provide significant benefits to participants. There is also an emphasis on funding programs that specifically help families and individuals experiencing poverty.
The City will follow the anti-poverty policies below:
• Anti‐Poverty Policy #1: To continue to support and coordinate with public and private efforts aimed at preventing and reducing poverty level incomes. • Anti‐Poverty Policy #2: To conduct outreach with public and private agencies whose mission is to reduce poverty level incomes.
• Anti‐Poverty Policy #3: Allocate CDBG public service funds to projects and activities that will help persons and families who have incomes below the poverty level How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan
The Anti-Poverty Strategy is closely coordinated with the Consolidated Plan Affordable Housing Plan. A primary goal of the housing programs is to alleviate the cost burdens faced by low - and moderate-income families. Many of these families have extremely low incomes, which makes them susceptible to living at or below the poverty level. The City will continue its partnership with the Los Angeles County Housing Authority, allowing the Authority to provide rental assistance programs in the City of Bellflower. The City’s Economic Development Department keeps records of the number of households in Bellflower that participate in the Section 8 program. According to the Housing Authority, there are approximately 689 households that participate in this program on ave rage.

SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach a nd the comprehensive planning requirements
Monitoring is a crucial tool for ensuring that the use of funds aligns with federal requirements and the goals of programs or projects. The Economic Development Department is tasked with ensuring that the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME f unds it manages and distributes to subrecipient projects comply with federal regulations and guidelines. To uphold these compliance standards, the Department staff conducts various monitoring activities, including reviewing contractual agreements, providing technical assistance, performing desk reviews, conducting annual risk assessments, monitoring recipient agencies on -site, and adhering to federal and city contracting regulations. The following outlines Bellflower's monitoring standards and procedures.
Subrecipients: When an organization becomes a subrecipient for the city, it must enter into an agreement with the city that outlines the scopes of work, timelines, and documentation requirements. Each subrecipient is required to report on their program progress, accomplishments, and challenges on a quarterly basis. Additionally, the city conducts an on-site inspection of each agency at least once per year, typically occurring around the middle of the funding cycle.
Construction Project: All construction projects comply with Federal Labor and Procurement Procedures as well as the various affirmative action, equal opportunity, and Section 3 requirements mandated by various federal and state laws. Staff review contract preparation at each step from bid preparation, contract document preparation, pre‐ construction meetings, and ongoing project inspections.
Housing Programs, including Home Rehabilitation and New Housing Construction Projects: The City collaborates closely with its Building and Safety Department to ensure that all projects adhere to Housing and Quality Standards (HQS) and are free from any substandard building issues. Monitoring of public service agencies and Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) is conducted annually or as needed. This monitoring focuses on program and financial performance, as well as regulatory compliance. The City utilizes a monitoring checklist that includes a review of federal compliance and relevant documentation as required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD ). This review covers program performance, record-keeping, financial performance, and regulatory compliance.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied Leveraging
Bellflower, like many cities, faces significant community development and housing needs that surpass the funding available through CDBG and HOME programs. To address this gap, the City strategically leverages CDBG and HOME funds with general funds and actively seeks additional resources and collaborative projects. The following potential leveraging resources have been identified, and the City remains committed to exploring further opportunities.
• Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)
• New State Low Income Housing Tax Credits Program
• Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities Housing Program • Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2)
• Mixed Income Program
• CalHome Program
Matching
Entitlement cities participating in the HOME program are required to provide a 25% match of non -HOME funds for every dollar spent from HOME funds. However, the HOME statute allows for a reduction in the matching contribution under three circumstances: (1) fiscal distress, (2) severe fiscal distress, and (3) presidential disaster declarations. When a local jurisdiction meets one of the criteria for fiscal distress, it is classified as being in fiscal distress and receives a 50% reduction in match requirements. If a local jurisdiction meets both distress criteria, it is classified as being in sev ere fiscal distress and receives a 100% reduction in match requirements. The City has been identified by HUD as a fiscally distressed jurisdiction and expects to continue meeting the eligibility requirements for the same match reduction. Additionally, the City has maintained an excess of match credits from previous years, which will be used to fulfill its HOME match requirements going forward.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City of Bellflower opened a Temporary Shelter (TS) called New Hope in May 2020, which provides beds and services for 50 individuals. New Hope is operated by the non -profit organization Mercy House, which helps program participants create a housing plan , connect with housing resources, and end their homelessness as quickly as possible. Most homelessness initiatives in the area are carried out by the local Continuum of Care (LAHSA) and its member agencies, which secure funding to operate shelters and provide services to individuals who are at risk of homelessness, as well as those who are already homeless.
Bellflower has participated in LAHSA meetings when invited to contribute. Additionally, the City has completed the construction of special needs housing for a local non-profit organization. Little House, a long-established local non-profit, offers transitional housing for women dealing with alcohol and substance abuse issues. Furthermore, Kingdom Causes Bellflower provides temporary rental vouchers and outreach services to both the homeless population and those at risk of becoming homeless.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City of Bellflower is committed to collaborating with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and Kingdom Causes Bellflower to prevent homelessness. This partnership will provide funding to support homeless individuals and families, as well as those at risk of homelessness, in securing transitional and permanent affordable housing. Support may include rehabilitation of facilities offering temporary housing, housing vouchers, shelters, motel vouchers, and supportive services such as job training.
Additionally, some public service activities may indirectly assist homeless individuals or those at risk of homelessness.
To further these efforts, the City of Bellflower contributes funds from the Low - and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF) to Kingdom Causes Bellflower specifically for homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services. The Homeless Prevention and Rap id Rehousing Program offers financial assistance and services aimed at preventing households from becoming homeless and helping those who are currently homeless to quickly find stable housing. The Extremely Low -Income Rental Assistance Voucher Program provides subsidies for extremely low-income households to help them secure affordable, decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. The City plans to continue allocating funds to Kingdom Causes Bellflower for these services in the fiscal year 2025-2026.
Furthermore, the City of Bellflower is in discussions with a developer to create a Permanent Supportive Housing project that will include approximately 50 units .
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Bellflower opened a Temporary Shelter (TS) in May 2020 called New Hope, which provides
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan & FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan 156 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
beds and services for 50 individuals. The shelter is designed for those who are “Bellflower -based,” meaning services are limited to individuals who can reasonably demonstrate that Bellflower is their home.
The temporary shelter offers a range of services, including:
o Intake and bed reservations
o Meals - Laundry facilities - Storage options
o Animal and pet assistance - Security
o Transportation
o Recreational activities
o Assessment and housing navigation case management
o Housing placement services
o Life skills classes and tenant education
o Employment and job placement referrals
o Health care resources
o Crisis evaluation and mental health resources
o Drug and alcohol treatment referrals
o Benefits enrollment
These services aim to support individuals in need and help them navigate their path to stable housing and improved well-being.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the peri od of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
Bellflower will continue to provide funding for housing rehabilitation and the development of housing units for low- and moderate-income individuals and families. By increasing the number of affordable housing units in the city, we enhance opportunities fo r those experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, homelessness to access suitable and affordable housing. Additionally, the city's Temporary Shelter supports those facing homelessness by offering referral services for transitional and long -term support programs.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan & FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan 157 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
employment, education, or youth needs
Since 2012, the non-profit organization Kingdom Causes Bellflower (KCB) has provided employment opportunities and job training through its Good Soils Industries program. This program helps the underemployed and unemployed residents—particularly those who may have a criminal record or are at risk of homelessness—find work. Over the years, the City has contributed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to KCB’s Good Soils program to help cover costs related to case management activities such as resume building, financial planning, and goal setting. For Fiscal Year 2025 -2026, the City has allocated $31,925 in CDBG funds to support KCB’s Good Soils Industries Program.
Furthermore, the City of Bellflower also contributes Low - and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Funds (LMIHAF) to KCB to provide homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The City of Bellflower is dedicated to addressing the negative effects of public policies that fall within its control. Over the years, Bellflower has shown a willingness to promote housing development of all types.
The City has adopted various policies an d plans to facilitate the development of large multi -family units and incentivizes projects that include affordable housing. To encourage lot consolidation, the City implemented the BAMU Overlay Zone, which may lead to the creation of larger multi -family units. In 2017, the City approved Ordinance 1346, allowing certain multi -family residential units to be permitted by right through a development review process, rather than as conditional uses. Additionally, in 2019, the City approved the TOD Specific Plan, which regulates future development around a proposed transit station.
To promote future development, including residential projects, the TOD Specific Plan designates specific areas for mixed-use development.
As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to support development, the City approves Specific Plans and Planned Development Projects. These approvals allow for more flexibility in traditional development standards, often reducing parking requirements to accommo date higher density.
In October 2017, the City approved Ordinance 1346, which allows for certain multi -family residential units to be permitted by right through the Development Review process instead of as conditional uses.
Additionally, in September 2017, the City approved Ordinance 1345, which provided greater flexibility for the development of accessory dwelling units in accordance with State law.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
Market barriers hinder the City's ability to provide and maintain affordable housing. The City's land use controls, site improvement requirements, building codes, and application fees ensure that development meets quality and safety standards. However, the production of affordable housing for all income levels is becoming increasingly challenging in California due to the dissolution of redevelopment agencies and a reduction in federal funding.
To combat this issue, the City will continue to waive certain fees and offer density bonuses for projects that include lower-income and senior citizen housing. Since the City is fully built out and has no available land for new construction, it has prepared a mixed-use development zone in the town center and established the Bellflower Alondra Mixed Use Overlay Zone. These initiatives allow for the consideration of underutilized sites for housing development.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
The priority needs established in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan form the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan, which are as follows:
• Promote Fair Housing
• Housing Rehabilitation
• Public Services
• Neighborhood Preservation/Code Enforcement
• Administration for HOME and CDBG
• Affordable Housing Development
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City has been successful in assisting homeless families with children, female victims of abuse, and female alcoholics by providing public service agency funds to local non -profits that offer services to Bellflower residents. The City does not directly provide its own health or human services and relies heavily on the Los Angeles County system and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) to meet these needs. The primary challenge in addressing the needs of underserved populations is the availability of funding. The elimination of Redevelopment Agencies and their associated funding has made it more difficult to undertake projects aimed at assisting these populations. Furthermore, high housing costs and a lack of available properties pose significant financial barriers to developing initiatives that address th ese needs. The City is committed to seeking additional funding sources to leverage the resources necessary to overcome these obstacles.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In the fiscal year 2025-2026, the City plans to allocate approximately $2,563,853 to Housing Programs for authorized housing activities. These programs encompass program administration, the HOME -funded Rehabilitation Program, and future Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) projects.
Funds may be reallocated from other housing program sources to these HOME Entitlement programs as needed, based on market conditions and demand. These initiatives support the City in achieving the goals and objectives outlined in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan and the 2021-2029 Housing Element.
Additionally, the City will actively work to promote the development of affordable housing, which includes:
• Continue to streamline the environmental review process for housing developments by using available state categorical exemptions and federal categorical exclusions when applicable.
• Annually pursue State, Federal and other funding opportunities to increase the supply of safe, decent, affordable housing in Bellflower for lower income households (including extremely low-income households), such as seniors, disabled, the homeless, and those at
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan & FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan 160 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
risk of homelessness.
• Amend the Zoning Code to provide zoning incentives for affordable housing projects, such as increases in density.
• Support and refer residents to local non-profits and LAHSA for emergency housing, shelters and special needs housing, and supportive services.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The majority of the housing stock in the City was built before 1980, which increases the likelihood of lead - based paint presence. Lead -Based Paint Hazards (LBPHs) pose significant health risks, particularly to young children, as exposure can lead to developmental issues, learning disabilities, and other serious health complications. Housing constructed before 1978, when lead -based paint was banned, is at a higher risk, especially units built before 1950, where lead paint usage was more common.
According to data from the American Community Survey (ACS) covering 2018 -2022, Bellflower has 18,237 housing units built before 1980, which represents nearly 73% of the City's total housing stock. Among these, 3,283 units were constructed before 1950.
The City’s efforts to address these issues are not limited to a specific area, as the majority of its housing stock is aging. Therefore, initiatives will be implemented citywide. Under HUD’s Lead -Based Paint regulations, all units receiving assistance thro ugh Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME funds must be inspected and abated. Bellflower's program guidelines include measures to ensure compliance with these regulations, such as testing for lead and conducting lead paint removal and control activities. Additionally, any suspected cases of lead poisoning will be referred to the Los Angeles County Public Health Department for investigation.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families HUD's Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data reveals distinct demographic patterns across income levels. Small family households are significantly more prevalent among higher -income groups, with nearly 55% of households earning above 100% of the HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI) being small families, compared to only 35.5% of extremely low -income households. Conversely, senior households are more concentrated among the lowest income brackets, with 38.2% of households earning less than 30% of HAMFI including at least one member aged 62 or older, compared to 29.9% of those earning above 100% of HAMFI. These figures highlight the diverse demographic profiles associated with varying income levels.
The City's revitalization efforts have increased foot traffic in downtown, spurring economic interest and improving access to services, training, and employment for households most impacted by poverty. To further support economic mobility, the City will prioritize job -training initiatives, particularly those aimed at equipping young people with the skills needed for higher -paying jobs.
Additionally, the City launched Bellflower Connect in June 2024, a free citywide Wi -Fi service targeted
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan & FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan 161 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
towards low- and moderate-income households, providing crucial broadband access for residents.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City will enhance its institutional structure by improving service delivery and expanding affordable housing opportunities in partnership with the non -profit housing sector. It aims to strengthen coordination with County agencies and other organization s serving low- and moderate-income residents.
To facilitate communication, the City will engage stakeholders such as LAHSA, the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, the Bellflower Sheriff’s Substation, housing advocates, local non -profits, schools, and community leaders. The City will als o support grant applications from non -profits that align with the goals of the Consolidated Plan.
Furthermore, the City will actively support agencies in the application process by offering technical assistance. It will also proactively disseminate information, such as Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) and other resource details, to organizations demonstrating the capacity and willingness to implement programs aligned with the Consolidated Plan's objectives. The City will foster the growth and capabilities of: housing and economic development corporations; tenant advocacy groups; neighborhood development organizations; emergency and transitional housing providers; and Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) Continuum of Care services.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City proactively engages a network of interested nonprofits, public agencies, social service organizations, and private housing developers with the capacity and potential to contribute to the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan. This engagement includes maintaining a comprehensive contact list for direct notification of funding opportunities via email. To ensure broad awareness, funding announcements are also publicized through notices in the local newspaper, postings at key City locations, and on the City website. Furthermore, City staff actively participates in local and regional meetings with service providers, neighboring agencies, and elected officials to stay informed about issues affecting the quality of life for Bellflower's low -income residents.
Discussion:
The City maintains a robust online presence and proactively offers ongoing technical assistance to interested residents and agencies throughout the year, facilitating their understanding of and application for CDBG and HOME funds when available. Furthermore, the City is committed to strengthening its coordination and consultation with state and local public agencies to ensure that essential services and funding for the homeless and other vulnerable populations are effectively addressed. This commitment includes continuous collaboration with agencies and organizations to identify service delivery gaps, develop targeted strategies to overcome these gaps, and effectively implement the goals and objectives of the Annual Action Plan.
