INTRODUCTION
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) appropriated $5 billion to communities across the U.S. to provide housing, services, and shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations. These funds were allocated to jurisdictio ns that qualified for funding through the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME Program) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Funding for this grant must be expended on eligible activities by 2030. This one-time funding is called the “HOME-ARP” Program.
HOME-ARP funds can be expended on the following eligible activities:
• Provision of Supportive Services (such as housing counseling, homelessness prevention, etc.). • Acquisition and Development of Non-Congregate Shelters: Purchase and Development of Non- Congregate Shelter.
• Tenant-Based Rental Assistance.
• Production or Preservation of Affordable Housing (such as acquisition and rehabilitation). • Administration and Planning for the HOME ARP Program (15% maximum allocation).
HOME-ARP funds must be used primarily to benefit individuals or families from the following qualifying populations:
• Homeless populations
• Those at-risk of homelessness
• Those fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking.
• Other populations requiring services, housing assistance, or to prevent homelessness.
Those at greatest risk of housing instability or in unstable housing situations.
Through ARP, HUD allocated the City of Burbank (City) $1,896,632 in HOME-ARP funds. To receive the funds, the City must submit an Allocation Plan to HUD. HUD requires for all grantee Allocation Plans to involve a thorough planning process that includes community and stakeholder consultations and a gap analysis. Furthermore, the Allocation Plan must be submitted to HUD by March 31, 2023. The City ’s HOME-ARP Allocation Plan describes how Burbank intends to distribute HOME-ARP funds to address the needs of the qualifying populations. In accordance with HOME-ARP regulatory requirements, The Plan will be submitted to HUD as a substantial amendment to the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Annual Action Plan for review and approval.

CONSULTATION
Summarize the consultation process:
The HOME-ARP Program provides various uses for housing and services and also allows a grantee a way to address local homeless priorities. Therefore, together with the City’s consultant, Ramsay Group, a community consultation process was used to develop the Burbank Allocation Plan. The City’s community outreach and engagement process provided multiple opportunities for subject matter experts , stakeholders, organizations, the Burbank Housing Authority, housing developers, public and private health providers, elec ted officials, the Los Angeles Continuum of Care, behavioral health agencies, and others to assist the City with identifying the unmet needs and gaps in housing and service delivery systems.
City staff facilitated a comprehensive outreach process to obtain feedback, solicit best practices, and increase the awareness of HOME-ARP. Consultation methods included HOME-ARP city-wide surveys, two community meetings, two on-line surveys, a presentation to volunteers at the 2023 Greater Los Angeles Point-In-Time Count, interviews with lived -experience persons, a 15 -day public comment period of the City of Burbank’s HOME-ARP Allocation Plan (AP), and a public hearing.
List the organizations consulted, and summarize the feedback received from these entities:
The City of Burbank held two stakeholder homeless roundtable meetings to obtain feedback and comments concerning homelessness in Burbank and the use of HOME-ARP. More than 70 organizations and interested parties were invited . The City met with representatives from the Continuum of Care , Service Planning Area providers , non-profits, faith-based/community leaders, and advocates as well as elected officials. Feedback was received from a cross section of Burbank community partners. Table 1 summarizes the entities consulted in the development of the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan.

SURVEYS
The City of Burbank exercised a holistic approach in developing a HOME-ARP Allocation Plan by executing a series of community surveys on homelessness. Surveys were available in English and Spanish and were available online and in-person from December 2022 to January 2023. In addition, the City conducted additional outreach and made a presentation regarding the homeless survey to approximately 60 ATTACHMENT 2-6
community volunteers at the 2023 Greater Los Angeles Point in Time Count. Nearly 40 community surveys were received as a result.
The community survey asked for the HOME -ARP eligible uses to be ranked by the level of importance – see Diagram 1. The survey results showed that a non-congregate shelter and affordable housing were the highest scoring uses. Supportive services were also of importance proceeded by temporary rental assistance.
In addition, the City collected 13 service provider surveys. The survey responses allowed entities that were unable to attend the roundtable consultation meetings an opportunity to provide their feedback. Diagram 2 shows that affordable housing is a priority.

To conclude, t he City conducted in-person interviews with 20 individuals known to be homeless in Burbank. Of the 20 individuals surveyed, 13 responded with housing as their primary need, and seven responded with supportive services (food, legal aid, job training) as their primary need.
In summary, the HOME-ARP meetings helped inform the Allocation Plan. All whom completed the surveys were asked to prioritize the following four eligible programs under HOME-ARP.
• Provision of Supportive Services (such as housing counseling, homelessness prevention, etc.). • Acquisition and Development of Non-Congregate Shelter. • Tenant-Based Rental Assistance.
• Production or Preservation of Affordable Housing (such as acquisition and rehabilitation).
A majority of the respondents support us ing HOME-ARP funds for affordable housing and a non- congregate shelter. Therefore, the City recommends the HOME-ARP funds to be used to support a non - congregate shelter that aligns with the City’s five-year (2022 -2027) Homelessness Plan to reduce the unsheltered homeless population by 50% in 2027.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Describe the public participation process, including information about and the dates of the public comment period and public hearing(s) held during the development of the Plan:
In accordance with the requirements for public participation for the HOME -ARP, and the City ’s Citizen Participation Plan, two community meetings and one public hearing were held to solicit public comment regarding the HOME-ARP’s Allocation Plan and Substantial Amendment of the 2021 Annual Action Plan.
Prior to the publication of the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, the City held two virtual community HOME-ARP Roundtable meetings on January 31, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. and February 2, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. The meetings were held during the day and in the evening to allow for increased opportunities for participation. As previously stated, over 70 community stakeholders were invited to participate in the process.
After publication of the draft HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, a notice was published in the Los Angeles Times, a newspaper of general circulation. The notice advising the public of the availability of the plan for public review and comment period. The notice a lso advised of the public hearing to approve the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan. The public comment period began February 18, 2023 and concluded March 4, 2023.
Prior to submittal to HUD, the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan was presented to the City Council for approval during a public hearing held March 28, 2023. The public hearing was intended to offer the public a final opportunity to submit their comments prior to the approval of the Plan. Refer to the Appendix for public comments received.
In addition, all interested parties also received an e -mail notification of the City’s request for public comment of the draft HOME-ARP Allocation Plan through the City’s e-Notify system.
Describe any efforts to broaden public participation:
In an effort to broaden public participation in the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan public comment and public hearing events, the City followed its Citizen Participation process. However, other efforts also included making the plan available at the following locations Monday – Friday (except legal holidays) from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND GAP ANALYSIS
The needs assessment and gap analysis below is intended to provide a general overview of housing and services available in Burbank by referring to local strategic planning documents and regional information.
The source documents include, but are not limited to, the 2022 Point-in-Time Count (PIT) for homeless individuals and families , the 202 2 Continuum of Care (C oC) Housing Inventory Count (HIC), Burbank Housing Authority's Administrative Plan, Burbank’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, and Burbank’s five-year (2022-2027) Homelessness Plan. This is in addition to consultation with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (Los Angeles Continuum of Care), Homeless and Domestic Violence Service Providers, Veterans Groups, Homeless Service Providers, and organizations that address equity, fair housing, and the needs of persons with disabilities and other special populations.
Describe the size and demographic composition of qualifying populations within the City’s boundaries:
City of Burbank Homeless Population
The 2022 Homeless P oint In Time Count identified 264 homeless persons in Burbank. During the 2022 Homeless Count, 77 (29%) of individuals were identified as sheltered, 66 were in transitional housing, and 11 were in an emergency shelter. The remaining 187 (71%) were designated as unsheltered; with 29% living “on the street,” 60% living within a vehicle, and 12% living in a tent and/or make-shift shelter.
Burbank’s homeless population is primari ly individual males between the ages of 18 -44 years of age according to the 2022 Homeless Count. Older adults aged 65 and above totaled 16. The number of families experiencing homelessness counted in the 2022 was 11. It’s challenging to really understand how many older adults and families are impacted by homelessness because their experiences are not as visible as those represented in the 2022 Homeless Count. We believe that many older adults and families who are unhoused or at-risk of homessness are no t counted and are not connected to services or programs.
Therefore, many do not know where to turn to access help.
Los Angeles County Homeless Population
According to the 2022 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, there was a 4.1% increase (69,144) from the 20201 total of 66,436 individuals experiencing homelessness. Of those, 70% (48,548) were unsheltered, meaning sleeping in cars, outdoors, or other places not suitable for human habitation. There was also a
10.2% increase in chronic homelessness compared to 2020 (26,985).
The 2022 Homeless Count also revealed that there are more than 20,000 people residing in shelters on any given day within Los Angeles County, an increase of 12% over the 2020 Homeless Count. These results may be attributed to the addition of new non-congregate shelters like Project Roomkey, Bridge Housing, and Tiny Home Projects, which ramped up during the COVID-19 pandemic. The County’s Project RoomKey Program created temporary housing, mostly by renting out unused hotel rooms for the more than 10,000 people served. More recently, RoomKey has been converted to HomeKey. 1 The 2021 Homeless Count was not conducted due to the pandemic.
ATTACHMENT 2-11
Despite these efforts, the 2022 Homeless Count showed an increase of 17% in tents, vehicles, and makeshift shelters in Los Angeles County.
At-risk of Homelessness
At-risk of Homelessness, as defined by HUD (24 C ode of Federal Regulations § 91.5), means households at risk of homelessness but not considered homeless yet. To be eligible, they must meet a set of criteria that include:
1. Having an annual income below 30% area median family income, as determined by HUD
2. Not having sufficient financial resources or support networks (e.g., family, friends, faith-based, or other social networks) that are immediately available to prevent them from moving to an emergency shelter or another place defined in the “homeless” definition, such as an unsheltered location
3. Meeting one of the following conditions:
a. They have moved because of economic reasons two or more times during the preceding 60 days;
b. They have lived in the home of another because of economic hardship; c. They have been notified in writing that their right to occupy their current housing or living situation will be terminated within 21 days;
d. They live in a hotel or motel and the cost of the hotel or motel stay is not paid by charitable organizations or by federal, state, or local government programs; e. They live in a single -room occupancy or efficiency apartment unit in which there reside more than two persons, or they live in a larger housing unit in which there are more than
1.5 people per room;
f. They are exiting a publicly funded institution, or system of care (such as a health -care facility, a mental health facility, foster care or other youth facilities, or correction program or institution); or
g. They live in housing that has characteristics associated with instability and an increased risk of homelessness, as identified in the recipient's approved Consolidated Plan The Burbank Housing Element revealed, there are 5,945 very low and extremely low-income households in Burbank paying 50% or more of their income on housing costs. There are 7,117 paying more than 30% of their income on housing expenses. The City’s Regional Housing Needs study found the City of Burbank needs to build and provide its share of 8,772 affordable housing units by 2029. Of the total, 3,971 are needed to build affordable housing for Burbank’s lower income households.
Also, almost two-thirds of female-headed households lived below the poverty level. The 2010 Census data revealed nearly one-fifth of the total female -headed households with children lived in poverty. These households need assistance with housing subsidies, as well as accessible and affordable day care. Without access to affordable housing, many of these households may be at risk of becoming homeless.
The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data outlines the mismatch between the need for larger rental units and the City’s supply of smaller units. There are approximately 2,500 rental units in Burbank with three or more bedrooms which are generally appropriately sized units for large households of five or more members. In contrast, there are approximately 3,600 large households in the city. The disparity in the supply and demand for large rental units is es pecially significant among lower -income households, with 940 lower -income large family renter households and only 590 adequately sized and ATTACHMENT 2-12
affordable units. This imbalance between supply and demand contributes to nearly one-fifth of the City’s rental households residing in overcrowded conditions.
Other Populations at Greater Risk of Housing Instability Persons with Disabilities - A disability is defined as a long-lasting physical, mental, or emotional condition that impairs an individual’s mobility, ability to work, or the ability for self-care. The special housing needs of disabled persons result from limited, often fixed incom es; shortage of accessible housing; and higher health care costs associated with the disability.
According to the American Community Survey (ACS) 2018 data, an estimated 11,216 persons (10.8%) of Burbank’s population have some type of disability, and of t he total disabled population, 21.1 % were employed, and 55.1% were seniors. Many of the seniors were served by the City’s nearly 1,225 units of affordable senior rental housing.
In addition to persons with other disabilities, 2019 California Department of Developmental Services data reveals there are over 2,500 Burbank residents with developmental disabilities, with approximately two- thirds under the age of 18. The available data reveals that over 80 % of persons with developmental disabilities reside with parents, families, or guardians.
Elderly - Elderly renter households had the highest percent age (82%) in the lower -income category and therefore, were particularly vulnerable to rent increases and other changes in living expenses. With the majority (53%) of large family renter households also in the lower-income category, this household group often has difficulty finding affordable units that have an adequate number of bedrooms. Extremely low- income (ELI) households (<30% AMI) comprise 16% of Burbank’s households that have significant housing needs. According to the CHAS Data compiled by HUD, 82% of the City’s ELI households are renters, a group particularly vulnerable to rising rents, with 81 % of ELI renters spending more than half their incomes on rent. Elderly renter households face a housing cost burden. Over two -thirds (67%) of elderly households were overpaying and 40% were severely overpaying for housing.
Female-Headed Households - Female-headed households with children tend to have lower incomes, which limits their housing options and access to supportive services. The Census ACS 2014 -2018 data estimates 4,246 female-headed households in Burbank and 40.4% of these households had a related child under the age of 18. Also, almost two-thirds of female-headed households lived below the poverty level.
According to the last Census (2010), data indicated that nearly one -fifth of the total female -headed households with children lived in poverty. They are also more likely to experience a heavier cost burden.
Approximately 95% of renter households paying more than 30% of their income on housing had an income ranging from $20,000-$34,999 (Burbank Housing Element).
Veterans and Families that include a Veteran Family Member According to the 2022 Homeless Count, there were 3,942 homeless veterans counted. Of the total, 3,901 were individuals experiencing homelessness. Forty-one veteran families were also counted. A total of 3,013 were unsheltered.
ATTACHMENT 2-13
Identify and consider th e current resources available to assist Qualifying Populations, including congregate and non -congregate shelter units, supportive services, TBRA, and affordable and permanent supportive rental housing:
The City of Burbank has valuable partnerships to support qualifying populations. Several are recipients of local federal grants, Continuum of Care subrecipient grants, philanthropic grants, and their own fundraising and revenue. These partnerships include:
Street Outreach: A component of the City’s efforts t o reach out to homeless persons involves a year - round constant Burbank Street Outreach Program. The Program participates in the Los Angeles Continuum of Care Coordinated Entry System by matching the homeless to mental health/supportive services, permanent supportive housing, case management, and emergency assistance, as appropriate.
Burbank Mental Health Evaluation Team: In 2012, the Burbank Police Department (BPD) partnered with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and created a co -response police/mental health clinician model (Burbank Mental Health Evaluation Team, or BMHET) to address the growing needs of those suffering from mental illness and homelessness. BMHET is comprised of BPD officers and a licensed Department of Mental Health clinician and respond s to calls for service where subjects appear to have mental health disorders. Once on scene, BHMET determines if further mental health treatment is required, utilizing the various resources available through the LA County Department of Mental Health.
By providing sustained mental health care for homeless in need, the City hopes to reduce the number of individuals facing chronic homelessness. The City has integrated BMHET into its Homeless Plan strategies.
Continuum of Care: Burbank is a part of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the lead agency in the Los Angeles City/County Continuum of Care . In recent years, Burbank expanded its’ relationship with LAHSA to supp ort regional efforts to end homelessness for individuals, families, and veterans. Since 2017, the City has continued to receive Continuum of Care funds to administer permanent supportive housing for chronically homeless adults.
Shelters: Burbank addresses the emergency needs of the homeless and other persons needing emergency shelter by actively participating in programs administered by public and quasi -public agencies. While no permanent year-round low-barrier shelter exists within Burbank, from December 1 up until March 31, various winter shelter beds in Los Angeles County/City are available to Burbank homeless via 2-1-1.
In addition, Home Again Los Angeles (HALA), formerly Family Promise of the Verdugos, a non -profit organization, serves various segme nts of the homeless population by providing emergency shelter and supportive services. HALA performs a highly effective, sustainable , and expandable service delivery drawing on resources of the faith community, churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples. T he three main components of the program are outreach and screening ; transitional housing and rapid rehousing; and extensive counseling and case management.
Transitional and Permanent Supportive Housing Programs: Since 1997, the City has partnered with Burbank Housing Corporation, a certified Community Housing Development Organization, to develop affordable housing by acquiring and rehabilitating deteriorated properties in the City’s five Focus Neighborhoods (Elmwood, Verdugo -Lake, Peyton -Grismer, Golden State and Lake -Alameda). This partnership has created an avenue for the City to commit and expend HOME fund allocations. Since the program’s inception, 316 affordable rental units have been created. These efforts include units for the City’s Transitional Housing Program that supports victims of domestic violence, homeless families, and young adults/emancipated youth.
ATTACHMENT 2-14
The Burbank Housing Corporation owns and operates 29 transitional and permanent supportive housing units which consist of seven units for ho meless families in the Golden State Focus Neighborhood (2406 Naomi Street and 2615 Thornton Avenue); three units for young adults/emancipated youth in the Lake - Alameda Focus Neighborhood (225 Linden Avenue), five transitional units for victims of domestic violence, 11 permanent housing units for veterans (1101 W. Verdugo Ave), and three units of transitional housing for homeless families exiting emergency shelter (1932 Ontario Street).
The Family Service Agency, in partnership with the Burbank Housing Corp oration, operates a comprehensive domestic violence intervention/prevention program by providing clients transitional housing. The program is targeted towards women with children, but serves all members of the family with core services from individual mental health care, parent support groups, family counseling, and therapy for youth and adult survivors, just to name a few. Family Service Agency has been serving the Burbank community as of 1991.
The Burbank Housing Authority submitted a grant renewal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for federal Permanent Supportive Housing Vouchers and to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs for the renewal of 30 vouchers (20 PSH and 10 Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing). The Housing Authority was notified of the grant renewal for FY 2022-2023.
Homeless Prevention: For FY 2022 -23, the City of Burbank will propose to contract for fair housing services that will consist of a range of services to ensure equal housing opportunities for its residents and homeless prevention, as applicable. Further, the City’s Landlord-Tenant Commission serves as a resource to minimize illegal evictions and rent increases (a potential contributing factor to homelessness).
Case Management Program: Homeless individuals or fa milies and those at -risk of homelessness could voluntarily participate in Case Management provided by various service providers serving the City of Burbank including Streetplus, Home Again Los Angeles, NoHo Home Alliance, and the City’s Social Worker co-located in the Burbank Central Library and Joselyn Adult Center.
Since 1991, Family Service Agency of Burbank has been providing comprehensive domestic violence intervention/prevention programs serving all members of the family. Services are provided by a uniquely skilled intervention teams that include clinical staff; peer advocates; resource specialists; legal advocates; parent/financial educators; and supervisors who are committed to the care of clients 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
United Way of Greater Los Angeles: Since March 2012, the City has supported the United Way of Greater Los Angeles’ Home For Good Initiative dedicated to ending chronic and veteran homelessness in greater Los Angeles. The United Way will assist communities with leveraging public resources, providing technical assistance, and providing solutions to end homelessness.
Other Programs and Activities: Homelessness is never solved by one entity; therefore, City departments continue to work together with local nonprofits, the business community, and faith -based/charitable organizations to deliver services and find solutions to homelessness. Historically, the City has demonstrated its support in delivering services to the most vulnerable individuals and families. In partnership with several experienced service organizations, the City has been able to create housing and public services with the use of federal funds from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Programs.
ATTACHMENT 2-15
Describe the unmet housing and service needs of the qualifying populations:
As previously stated, according to the 2022 Point in Time Count, there are more than 66,000 homeless persons in Los Angeles County. Of that total, approximately 70% (48,548 persons) were unsheltered. The current Housing Inventory Count indicates there are 18,462 beds for the County, not nearly enough to house those experiencing homelessness.
Cities can play an important role in helping address homelessness by aligning resources and efforts with the Continuum of Care. Solving homelessness will take a multitude of fully engaged organizers. Although the City of Burbank and its partners have made significant strides in addressing the needs of the homeless, a gap remains in housing, addressing public health and safety , and the systemic cause of homelessness.
Therefore, in November 2022, the City Council approved the 2022-2027 Homelessness Plan to address homelessness by implementing six strategies.
• Capacity building
• Advocacy
• Access, Outreach & Engagement
• Shelter & Housing Accessibility
• Health & Stabilization
• Homelessness Prevention
The Homeless Plan will be a proactive approach to tackling homelessness by 1) creating action-oriented solutions that address the ongoing systemic social issues of homelessness impacting our community; 2) a coordination of efforts to address homelessness with City Departments, public and private entities, businesses, and community involvement; and 3) identifying and applying for funding to address homelessness.
Identify any gaps within the current shelter and housing inventory as well as the service delivery system:
According to the 2022 Greater Los Angeles Continuum of Care Housing Inventory Count there are 18,462 emergency shelter beds and 30,781 housing beds to assist homeless persons in Greater Los Angeles County. The available beds are inadequate to meet the homelessness needs of more than 66,000 counted throughout Los Angeles County. A significant gap exists between interim and permanent housing options for homeless individuals and families. In addition, there are no adult shelters or interim units within the city limits of Burbank.
The Homeless Needs and Gap Analysis shows a disproportionate number of transitional and supportive housing units/beds available compared to emergency shelter units/beds for Burbank. In partnership with the Burbank Housing Corporation (BHC) and service operators, BHC owns 18 transitional housing units for families, survivors of domestic violence and abuse, and emancipated young adults. In addition, BHC also provides 11 deed -restricted very low -income units for homeless veterans. Other Permanent housing includes 20 tenant -based vouchers for chronically homeless individuals administered by the Housing Authority. The is no emergency shelter for adults or families in Burbank. The City of Burbank relies on the Continuum of Care to match people experiencing homelessness to available units/beds in the region.

Without a shelter in Burbank, we remain reliant upon the County’s services to help our unhoused neighbors with temporary housing, mental health & chronic health services, substance use counseling/treatment, and Permanent Suppo rtive Housing (a combination of affordable housing assistance with voluntary case management). The body charged with developing policies for most of the services mentioned above is the Coordinated Entry System Policy Council for the Greater Los Angeles County. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) is the governing body who oversees the network of service coordination for roughly 88 cities in Los Angeles County, excluding Glendale, Pasadena, and Long Beach. The Coordinated Entry System is also the pathway to match people experiencing homelessness to Permanent Supportive Housing, congregate living facilities, Project RoomKey, and Emergency Housing Vouchers.
Providing enough affordable housing units is the most important factor in promoting housing stability.
The City of Burbank lacks enough affordable housing for lower -income individuals and families. Nearly every group with special housing needs has limited financial resources for housing. Burbank ’s Housing Element data reveals th e City needs to construct 8,772 affordable housing units by 2029 in accordance with its Regional Housing Goals. The units needed are expected to increase within the next 10 years. Refer to Table 1-30 below.

1 Local jurisdictions must consider Extremely Low Income households as part of the Very Low Income. The Burbank Housing Element assumes 50% of the Very Low Income housing needs for Extremely Low Income households.
Explain how the City determined the level of need and gaps in the Participating Jurisdictions shelter and housing inventory and service delivery systems based on the data presented in the plan:
As described in the Homeless Needs Inventory and Gap Analysis Table, the data indicated the non- existence of shelter beds in Burbank. Secondly, based on the 2022 Point in Time Count, Burbank has a total of 187 unsheltered homeless that may benefit if a shelter is created. Finally, the 2022 Housing Inventory Count for Los Angeles County shows a significant shortage of beds and units to house more than 66,000 people experiencing homelessness in our region. The City’s use of HOME -ARP would help house Burbank’s unsheltered population, and also increase s the available Housing Inventory Count for the region.
ATTACHMENT 2-18
HOME-ARP ACTIVITIES
Describe the method for soliciting applications for funding and/or sel ecting developers, service providers, sub -recipients, and/or contractors and whether the City will administer eligible activities directly:
The City of Burbank will solicit applications in three areas for the development of a non-congregate shelter. Those areas include: pre-planning/environmental review/design/feasibility studies, service operator, and construction of the site. All solicitation will be managed using a Request for Funding Proposal for competitive bidding. The City will comply with all federal regulations for use of funds, which include Davis-Bacon, Section 3, Affirmative Employment, Fair Housing, etc. These actions are contingent on and will occur subsequent to the City Council approving a non-congregate shelter.
If any portion of the City’s HOME-ARP administrative funds were provided to a sub-recipient or contractor prior to HUD’s acceptance of the HOME -ARP allocation plan becau se the sub -recipient or contractor is responsible for the administration of the City’s entire HOME-ARP grant, identify the sub-recipient or contractor and describe its role and responsibilities in administering all of the City’s HOME-ARP program:
Not applicable.
Use of HOME-ARP Funding
City must indicate the amount of HOME -ARP funding that is planned for each eligible HOME -ARP activity type and demonstrate that any planned funding for nonprofit organizations, operating assistance, nonprofit capacity building, and administrative costs are within HOME-ARP limits.

ATTACHMENT 2-19
Describe how the City will distribute HOME-ARP funds in accordance with its priority needs identified in its needs assessment and gap analysis:
The City of Burbank recommends the use of HOME-ARP funds for adaptive re -use of a City -owned property or develop a parcel of land ( a feasibility study of the sites is underway) for a non-congregate shelter. HOME-ARP may be used for pre-development costs as well as construction, contingent on City Council’s approval. City Council will consider the final selection of a site from two currently City-owned identified sites for use as a non-congregate shelter at a future date . The target population will be identified as part of future project consideration by City Council.
Describe how the characteristics of the shelter and housing inventory, service delivery system, and the needs identified in the gap analysis provided a rationale for the plan to fund eligible activities:
According to the shelter and housing needs assessment completed, the City identified a gap in shelter beds for Burbank. Further, the City estimates one-time capital improvements to develop a non-congregate shelter at $3 million. City staff recommends that $1,801,801 of the HOME-ARP allocation support the non- congregate shelter development and continue to use $94,831 for administration and planning. Other funding resources such as Community Development Block Grant and future local homeless funds can contribute to make up the $1.2 million gap.
City staff is currently in the pre -planning process to build a Homeless Servi ces Center with a non - congregate shelter. Two sites were identified but are still being reviewed for feasibility, design, and operating costs per City Council recommendations. Upon completing the pre -planning for the Homeless Services Center, City staff will present the project to City Council for consideration.
HOME-ARP Production Housing Goals
Estimate the number of affordable rental housing units for qualifying populations that the City will produce or support with its HOME-ARP allocation:
Not applicable.
Describe the specific affordable rental housing production goal that the PJ hopes to achieve and describe how it will address the City’s priority needs:
Not applicable.
ATTACHMENT 2-20
PREFERENCES
Identify whether the City intends to give preference to one or more qualifying populations or a subpopulation within one or more qualifying populations for any eligible activity or project:
The City of Burbank recommends the use of HOME-ARP funds to provide non-congregate shelter. Due to the nature of the project, it will provide assistance to homeless persons as defined in 24 Code of Federal Regulations 91.5. At this time, the City elects not to give preference to any homeless subpopulations.
If a preference was identified, explain how the use of a preference or method of prioritization will address the unmet need or gap in benefits and services received by individuals and families in the qualifying population or categ ory of qualifying population, consistent with the City’s needs assessment and gap analysis:
Not applicable.
If a preference was identified, describe how the PJ will use HOME -ARP funds to address the unmet needs or gaps in benefits and services of the other qualifying populations that are not included in the preference:
Not applicable.
HOME-ARP Refinancing Guidelines
If the City intends to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily rental housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME-ARP funds, the PJ must state its HOME -ARP refinancing guidelines in accordance with 24 CFR
92.206(b). The guidelines must describe the conditions under which the PJ will refinance existing debt for a HOME-ARP rental project, including:
Not applicable.
