he City must monitor and report on the results of these and other programs through the annual progress report, required pursuant to Government Code section 65400.

Please be aware, Government Code section 65585, subdivision (i) grants HCD authority to review any action or failure to act by a local government that it determines is inconsistent with an adopted housing element or housing element law. This includes failure to implement program actions included in the housing element. HCD may revoke housing element compliance if the local government’s actions do not comply with state law.

S
everal federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant; the Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs; and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. While rezonings must be completed first, with a compliant housing element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.

H
CD appreciates the hard work and dedication Saied Naaseh, Community Development Director, Alvie Betancourt, Planning Manager, and your consultant, Rajeev Bhatia and Mayu Tanaka provided in the preparation of the City’s housing element. HCD wishes the City success in implementing its housing element and looks forward to following the City’s progress through the annual progress report pursuant to Government Code section 65400.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, April 1, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 29. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT WITH CALTEC CORP. FORPROJECT NO. 1786: CITY HALL BATHROOM AND KITCHENETTE RENOVATIONS AND CONSIDERAPPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 25-026, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CARSON CITY COUNCILAMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS(CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Project No. 1786 is part of the City’s FY 24/25 Capital Improvement Program. This project includes the renovation of all the bathrooms and kitchenettes on the ﬁrst ﬂoor and second ﬂoor of City Hall. On September 17, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Caltec Corporation (Caltec) for Project No.1786: City Hall Bathroom and Kitchenette Renovations, in the amount of $1,697,000.00. No contingency fund was authorized for this project when the contract was awarded.

As the project continues to progress, design revisions become an essential part of ensuring that the ﬁnal outcome meets the current standards and complies with all applicable codes. These revisions allow for adjustments based on unforeseen challenges, or updated regulations that may arise during the project's lifecycle.

Staff is requesting City Council to consider approval of Amendment No. 1 to the existing agreement with Caltec Corporation, which will increase the project budget by an amount not to exceed $198,475.52 to cover the costs for design revisions (EXHIBIT No. 1).

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE Amendment No. 1 to Public Works Agreement with Caltec Corporation for an additional amount of $198,475.52 to cover costs for design revisions.

2. ADOPT Resolution No. 25-026 “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CARSON CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS" to increase project PW1786 budget authority by $198,475.52. (EXHIBIT NO. 2).

3. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 following approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. DO NOT APPROVE Amendment No. 1. However, staff will not have suﬃcient funds to complete the full scope of work as part of Project No. 1786.

2. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate consistent with the requirements of the law.

IV. BACKGROUND
Project No. 1786: City Hall Bathroom and Kitchenette Renovations is included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) list. This project includes the renovation of existing men and women restrooms and kitchenettes on the ground ﬂoor and second ﬂoor of City Hall building to meet current ADA standards. Demolition and design plans were prepared by BOA Architecture.

On September 17, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Caltec Corporation for Project No.1786: City Hall Bathroom and Kitchenette Renovations, in the amount of $1,697,000.00. No contingency fund was authorized for this project when the contract was awarded.

As construction progressed, it was determined that the proposed improvements needed to be revised to accommodate unanticipated ﬁeld conditions. These necessary revisions include framing modiﬁcations, utility relocation, and other ﬁnishing materials. The design modiﬁcations identiﬁed are essential to maintaining project integrity and functionality. Without these modiﬁcations, the project would not function as intended or meet safety and operational standards.

The Design Revisions and Unforeseen Conditions Include:

Increase in clearance requirements in front of the 2nd ﬂoor lobby Women's restroom water closet. As a result, the West wall at the executive conference room had to be shifted approximately 12" East. The costs include demolition, shifting all plumbing, electrical, and new framing, insulation, drywall, and painting.

Change of wall types at the 2nd ﬂoor restroom entry way.

Added drinking fountain and alcove at 2nd ﬂoor restroom entryway. This revision added additional framing, plumbing and electrical re-conﬁgurations, insulation, drywall, wall tile and accent tile, and additional ﬂoor tile at the exterior of the restrooms.

Added dropped soﬃt at 2nd ﬂoor lobby restroom entryway. This revision added additional demolition of ceiling and wall, framing, drywall, and paint.

Added ceiling access panels in the 2nd ﬂoor men's and women's restroom. This revision added additional framing.

Parts of the existing framing to remain in place in the 2nd ﬂoor lobby women's and men's restroom was corroded. This added labor and material costs to replace all the existing corroded framing.

Modiﬁcations to design of display case.

Trash chute hardware, millwork and backsplash design modiﬁcations.

Revisions to door and hardware schedule
Additional hardware for 2nd ﬂoor lobby women's and men's restroom doors.

Additional framing for the 2nd ﬂoor lobby entry restroom soﬃt to align with the existing adjacent soﬃts.

Additional costs for providing a casework door for the existing water heater in the 2nd ﬂoor lobby women’s restroom.

Additional costs for providing multiple paint materials not shown on plans.

Additional temporary ﬂoor protection in the 2nd ﬂoor lobby.

Existing design layout did not provide suﬃcient space for the proper placement of two sinks, trash chute, and countertop support brackets. The sink countertop was enlarged, and the plumbing was shifted to allow for proper ADA clearances, trash chute, and countertop support bracket installation.

The total cost of the above charges and adjustments for the bathroom construction amounts to $198,475.52.

However, there are not enough funds available to cover these improvements. Therefore, staff is requesting the City Council’s approval for additional funding. Addressing these changes during construction will result in a more eﬃcient and functional design, enhancing convenience for City Hall patrons and ensuring the space meets of operational needs effectively and meets the current building code.

Staff is requesting City Council to approve Amendment No. 1 to add funds in the amount of $198,475.52 to cover the cost for design revisions.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
If the proposed amendment is approved by Council, the $198,475.52 requested for Amendment No. 1 will be funded per Resolution 25-026.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, April 1, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 30. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDER TO ACCEPT THE PROJECT AS COMPLETE, PROJECT NO. 1730: CITY OF CARSONEVENT CENTER EV CHARGING STATIONS AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TOAGREEMENT WITH ALFARO COMMUNICATIONS CONSTRUCTION (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Project No. 1730 City of Carson Event Center EV Charging Stations is part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program. The scope of the project, as described in the capital improvement program, includes the installation of EV charging stations at City Hall North parking lot and concrete site improvements. However, due to parking availability, it was proposed that the charging stations be installed at the West parking lot of the Carson Event Center.

On January 9, 2024, the City Council awarded a Construction Contract to Alfaro Communications Construction for a total budget of $262,127.80 for Project No. 1730: City of Carson Event Center EV Charging Stations. City Council also authorized the expenditure of construction contingencies of $26,212.78 (10%) for any unforeseen construction work that may have been necessary to complete this project. Staff requests that the City Council consider approval of Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with Alfaro Communications Construction. Amendment No. 1 includes additional scope of work amounting to $21,564.25 which is not part of original design and bid documents and not part of change orders already authorized under the approved contingency (Exhibit 1).

Project No. 1730 has been completed in accordance with approved plans and speciﬁcations. It is also requested that the City Council accept the project as complete and authorize staff to ﬁle the Notice of Completion with the LA County Recorder’s oﬃce.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE Amendment No. 1 to Public Works Agreement with Alfaro Communications Construction and increase the project budget by $21,564.25

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 following approval as to form by the City Attorney.

3. ACCEPT as complete Project No. 1730: City of Carson Event Center EV Charging Stations.

4. AUTHORIZE staff to ﬁle a Notice of Completion.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. DO NOT ACCEPT the project as complete. However, acceptance of project as complete and recordation of a Notice of Completion after work completion, under Civil Code section 9204 will shorten the time-period during which any contractor will be able to ﬁle a lien claim.

2. DO NOT APPROVE Amendment No. 1, however, staff will not be able to process an invoice for additional work already completed by contractor.

3. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate consistent with the requirements of the law.

IV. BACKGROUND
Project No.1730, City of Carson Event Center EV Charging Stations includes the installation of four (4) level 2 charging stations at West parking lot of the Carson Event Center. The project also includes sidewalk reconstruction to satisfy ADA standards, the installation of ramps and handrails, asphalt pavement resurfacing, parking striping, and the installation of electrical equipment and electrical upgrades to support the proposed charging stations.

The construction contract amount was $262,127.80. The authorized construction contingency was $26,212.78 (10%). A total of four change orders were executed during construction. Change Orders 1 & 2 with a total amount $26,212.78 were funded using the previously approved contingency funds and will be approved and ratiﬁed by City Council via Amendment No. 1. Change Orders 3 & 4 are recommended by staff for approval by City Council through Amendment No. 1 with a total amount of $21,564.25 which will provide additional funding to pay for Change Orders 3 & 4. The scope of work within Change Orders 3 & 4 has already been completed by the contractor, Alfaro Communications Construction.

Change Order No. 1 ($4,029.65): The existing sidewalk from the Carson Event Center to the newly installed EV charging stations was not ADA compliant since it exceeded the maximum allowable cross slope and path of travel percentages. The newly installed sidewalk built per current ADA slope requirements resulted in an elevation difference to the surrounding landscape. As a result, the contractor requested additional costs to adjust the brick pathways adjacent to the new sidewalk. This change order also includes additional concrete removal and placement costs for sidewalk behind the new handrail ramps. Change Order No. 1 is funded by the project's contingency budget.

Change Order No. 2 ($22,183.13): Includes the costs to resurface the parking stalls to comply with maximum allowable slopes - Part #1. It is funded by the project's contingency budget.

Change Order No. 3 ($18,955.57): Includes the costs to resurface the parking stalls to comply with maximum allowable slopes - Part #2. It exceeds the project's contingency. Therefore staff is requesting additional funds for this change order.

Change Order No. 4 ($2,608.68): The design plans did not include material or ﬁnish speciﬁcation for handrails. This change order includes the cost for color matching and painting the handrails of the new ramps. It exceeds the project's contingency. Therefore staff is requesting additional funds for this change order.

Contract Amount: $262,127.80
CO No. 1: $4,029.65 (covered by the contingency fund)
CO No. 2: $22,183.13 (covered by the contingency fund)
CO No. 3: $18,955.57 (requesting approval of Amendment No. 1) CO No. 4: $2,608.68 (requesting approval of Amendment No. 1) The original contract amount for the project was $262,127.80, with a total of $47,777.03 in approved change orders (1-4), bringing the total approved project cost to $309,904.83. Given that the total project cost exceeds the original contract amount, staff is requesting the city council the approval of Amendment No. 1 for the additional funding of $21,564.25 to cover the overage. Additionally, construction of the project has been successfully completed, including all punch list items. Therefore, staff requests that the City Council accept the project as complete and authorize the recording of the Notice of Completion with the Los Angeles County Recorder's Oﬃce.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for the requested change orders 3 ($18,955.57) & 4 ($2,608.68) are available in FY 2024-2025 adopted budget within account 289-80-820-904-8008 (DIF Utilities & Sustainability).

You are hereby directed to make the herein described changes from the plans and specifications or do the following described work not included in the plans and specifications on this contract.

1. ASPHALT PAVEMENT MILL & OVERLAY
The building code requires surface slopes within the accessible parking stalls and access aisles to be minimized with a maximum allowable slope of two percent (2%), in any direction.

The architectural plans show a 2% maximum slope requirement but did not specify any asphalt remediation work needed during the design/bidding of the project. The topographical survey completed under the direction of the architectural consultant show surface slopes under 2% at existing accessible parking stalls and access aisles.

Staff field measurements show various existing surface slopes that exceed the two percent (2%) max requirement. Staff recommends milling and overlaying 2= of the asphalt pavement within the scope of work to achieve a surface slope under 2% for all parking stalls and access aisles.

This change order includes the cost of milling 2= of the existing asphalt pavement with a quantity of 2,000 square feet and placing 2= of asphalt mix (C2 PG 64-10) with an approximate 23.757 tons.

Contractor to field verify that two percent max slope at accessible parking stalls and access aisles will be achieved prior to starting work. Contractor to adjust the depth and extent of cold milling to achieve proper drainage and the maximum two percent slope at accessible parking stalls and access aisles.

Payment for these items is at the price bid per Square Foot (S.F.) and shall be considered as full compensation for performing all work as specified herein and no additional compensation will be allowed, therefore. Any area that exceeds 2.00% max slope will need to be redone at contractor9s cost.

ITEM NO. 18: ASPHALT RUBBER HOT MIX (ARHM) FINISH COURSE This item consists of supplying and placing asphalt concrete pavement in accordance with the provisions of Section 302-5, "Asphalt Concrete Pavement" of the Standard Specifications except as modified and supplemented below:

Asphalt concrete construction shall conform to Section 200, 203, 302 and 400 of the Standard Specifications, Section 92 of the Caltrans Standard Specifications and these Special Provisions.

Surface slopes within the accessible parking stalls and access aisles shall be minimized with a maximum allowable slope of two percent (2.00%), in any direction.

Tack coat is required, and the cost thereof shall be included in the bid price paid per ton for asphalt concrete. Contractor to submit tack coat product/submittal and should be approved by City.

Contractor to submit ARHM GG-C submittal for city approval.

The required AC mix designs shall be as follows:

ARHM GG-C Class (1/2=) PG 64-16
Section 302-5.5 entitled "Distribution and Spreading" of the Standard Specifications shall be modified as follows:

The Contractor shall construct temporary asphalt concrete ramping with a slope of 1:1 at the edge of open excavation if all of the following occur:

1. Clearance between travel lane and open excavation is less than five (5) feet,

2. Excavation depth is six (6) inches or deeper, and

3. If open excavation will last for more than 48 hours, Payment for the construction and removal of temporary asphalt concrete shall be included in other items of work involved and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.

The cracks shall be blown clean to expose the depth of the crack as much as possible. Cracks that are %-inch and larger shall then be routed with power router equipment. In areas that are severely alligatored, whereby routing would cause further damage to the surrounding pavement, causing chunks or pieces of asphalt to come apart shall not be further routed; in those areas air blowing is sufficient. All cracks that have been routed or air-blown for exposure of a %4-inch width then are nozzle-filled with an emulsified asphalt and sand. Emulsified asphalt and sand shall conform to Subsection 203-3 and 302-2.4. The sand admixture screening shall be medium time.

A tack coat shall be applied to all surfaces that will be in contact with the asphalt surfacing. The tack coat shall consist of SS-1H emulsified asphalt at an approximate rate of .05 to .10 gallons per square yard shall be uniformly applied upon the existing pavement preceding the placement of the asphalt concrete. It shall be furnished and applied in accordance with the requirements of Section 203-3 and 302-5 of the SSPWC. The exact rate of application will be determined by the City Engineer. The tack coat shall be applied only so far in advance of paving or surfacing as ordered by the Engineer.

All petroleum, gas, water and other underground utility covers, valve cans and lids, within the areas to be paved shall be adjusted to grade in accordance with the requirements of their respective owners. Reference the bid item 11 for adjustment to grade of petroleum, gas, water and other underground utility covers, valve cans and lids. The Contractor shall clean the interiors of all debris. It is the Contractor's responsibility to verify the number and location of these structures and to notify the owners thereof prior to doing this work.

The contractor shall have a minimum of three operational rollers including two vibratory rollers on the job site. The vibratory roller shall be used during the breakdown rolling operation. The rollers shall conform to the requirements of the SSPWC. Relative compaction shall be subject to testing by a certified testing laboratory by the City of Carson. The contractor shall be subject to a financial penalty should the compaction requirements fail to be met.

Upon completion, the pavement shall be true to grade and cross section. When a ten-foot (3m) straight-edge is laid on the finished surface parallel to the centerline of the roadway, the surface shall not vary from the edge of the straight-edge more than 1/8 inch (3mm), except at intersections or at changes of grade. Any areas that are not within this tolerance shall be brought to grade immediately following the initial rolling. However, if the paving material has been cooled below the lower limits of the spreading temperatures prescribed in Subsection 302-5.5, "Distribution and Spreading", the surface of the pavement shall be brought to a true grade and cross section by removing the pavement material in the areas to be repaired, by an approved method, to provide a minimum laying depth of one-inch (25mm) of new pavement material at the joint line. Repairs shall not be made to pavement surfaces by feather-edging at joints.

Work determined by the Engineer to conform to the requirements specified herein will be paid for at the contract price per ton for Asphalt Concrete subject to a compensation adjustment based on the relative compaction result from each lot tested in accordance with the following table:

Relative Reduced Relative Reduced

Lot sizes are as described in California Test Method 375. Asphalt in a lot that is accepted on the basis of reduced payment will be paid for at the contract price paid for Asphalt Concrete multiplied by the above factors if the lots are within the range of the above table. Should the lot test indicate a relative compaction value of 91.9% or less, the lot shall be removed and replaced at Contractor9s sole expense.

A lot will generally be considered the area of asphalt concrete placement performed in one continuous operation in a given day unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. A lot shall consist of approved paving material from only one asphalt concrete production plant. Should asphalt concrete from more than one source (or plant) be used in any single paving operation, the highest reference maximum density shall be used for determination of Relative Compaction; More than one paving operation (one for each source of material) may be performed if equipped as a separate operation and is approved by the Engineer.

Payment for unclassified excavation required for Sawcutting, excavating, removing, hauling, disposing of existing Asphalt Concrete (AC), Portland Cement Concrete (PCC), any other Pavement Surface(s), and base/cement treated base and subgrade materials shall be considered as included in the bid price paid under various bid items and no additional compensation will be allowed, therefore.

Payment for this item at the price bid per unit TON shall be considered full compensation for performing all work as specified herein and no additional compensations shall be allowed therefore.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 25-033 APPROVING PROGRAM SUPPLEMENTAGREEMENT NO. F024 REV. 1 TO THE ADMINISTERING AGENCY-STATE MASTER AGREEMENT NO. 07-5403F15 FOR FEDERAL-AID PROJECTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF PROJECT 1649 [FEDERALNO. HSIPL-5403(030)] AND RESOLUTION NO. 25-039, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CARSON CITYCOUNCIL AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND AND SPECIAL REVENUEFUNDS FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND INTERSECTION UPGRADES (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The City of Carson was awarded a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant fund for traﬃc signal intersection upgrades and has been authorized to proceed with the construction phase for Project No. 1649: Traﬃc Signal Intersection Upgrades – Avalon Blvd. at Victoria St., Main St. at Sepulveda Blvd., Main St. at 223rd St., and Figueroa St. at Torrance Blvd. This project is partially funded by the HSIP grant. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), adoption of a resolution (Exhibit No. 2) by the City Council approving and authorizing the execution of the Program Supplement Agreement to the Administering Agency-State Master Agreement No. 07-5403F15 between the State and the City is required (Exhibit No. 1).

Staff is requesting City Council approval of Program Supplement Agreement No. F024 Rev. 1 which obligates up to $1,522,350.00 in reimbursable federal funds for the construction phase of this project, and it requires a local city match of $1,808,233.00. Staff is also requesting approval of Resolution No. 25-039 increasing the project budget (Exhibit No. 3).

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. ADOPT Resolution No. 25-033, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT AGREEMENT NO. F024 REV NO.1 TO THE ADMINISTERING AGENCY-STATE MASTER AGREEMENT NO. 07-5403F15 FOR FEDERAL-AID PROJECTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF PROJECT NO. 1649 [FEDERAL NO. HSIPL-5403(030)].”

2. ADOPT Resolution 25-039, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CARSON CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS" to add reimbursable grant funds to project PW1649.

3. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute Program Supplement Agreement No. F024 Rev. No. 1 to the Administering Agency-State Master Agreement No. 07-5403F15 following approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. DO NOT ADOPT the Resolutions. However, if the City does not execute the Program Supplement Agreement, it would not be eligible to receive federal funds for this project. No invoices for reimbursement can be submitted to Caltrans until the Program Supplement Agreement is fully executed.

2. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate consistent with the requirements of the law.

IV. BACKGROUND
Project No. 1649: Traﬃc Signal Intersection Upgrades – Avalon Blvd. at Victoria St., Main St. at Sepulveda Blvd., Main St. at 223rd St., and Figueroa St. at Torrance Blvd. will provide modiﬁed traﬃc signals at these locations, providing safety improvements for road users which include new signal heads, ADA ramps, service upgrades, LED safety lighting, bike detections, audible pedestrian signals, signal poles, signal mast arms, signal cabinets, raised medians, signing, striping, and left-turn phasing.

Carson administers federally funded projects under the auspices of the current Administering Agency-State Master Agreement between the City of Carson and the State of California. An updated version of this agreement (Master Agreement No. 07-5403F15) was approved by the City Council on March 21, 2017.

In order to be eligible for reimbursement, each individual project that is federally funded must have a Program Supplement Agreement that is executed by adopting a resolution. The resolution under consideration would obligate the expenditure of up to $1,522,350.00 for the construction phase of Project No. 1649: Traﬃc Signal Intersection Upgrades, which would be reimbursed through the HSIP grant. In addition, the City is required to appropriate funding for the local match requirement of $1,808,233.00. These combined funding sources are essential for advancing the project, with the local match ensuring that the city meets its ﬁnancial responsibilities as outlined in the agreement.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
The Program Supplemental Agreement under consideration will provide the opportunity for the City to be reimbursed for an amount no-to-exceed $1,522,350.00 from the HSIP grant for the construction of PW1649 – Traﬃc Signal Upgrades, and is required to appropriate funding for the reimbursement of work under the agreement.

The required $1,808,233.00 local match is available within the FY 24/25 budget in the Development Impact Fee (DIF) fund with $750,000 from DIF MBK (restricted) and $1,058,233 from DIF Traﬃc (4941) respectively. Funds in the amount of $1,485,883 are already available in expenditure account 289-80-820-904-8023 and will be allocated to project PW1649. An additional $322,350.00 was also budgeted for PW1649 within account 289-80-820-904- 8009. These funds will be moved to account 289-80-820-904-8023 per Resolution 25-039.

During the design and PE phase of project PW1649, an HSIP reimbursable grant was awarded to the City in the amount of $198,450. Due to unexpected delays, the design phase was not complete by the original grant term expiration. Staff ultimately, amended the design-PE phase grant agreement to extend the term expiration, however in between the original expiration and new expiration date, expenses in the amount of $15,383.13 were incurred and ineligible for grant reimbursement. If Resolution 25-039 is approved by Council, the $15,383.13 will be added to the Project budget utilizing CIP Professional services funds.

If the proposed Program Supplement Agreement is approved by Council, the grant funds and local city match will be allocated to the project expenditure accounts as follows:
220-80-820-904-8023-PW1649 $1,522,350.00
289-80-820-904-8023-PW1649 $1,808,233.00
101-99-999-904-8023-PW1649 $15,383.13

B. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees that it will only proceed with work authorized for specific phase(s) with an "Authorization to Proceed" and will not proceed with future phase(s) of this project prior to receiving an "Authorization to Proceed" from the STATE for that phase(s) unless no further State or Federal funds are needed for those future phase(s).

C. STATE and ADMINISTERING AGENCY agree that any additional funds which might be made available by future Federal obligations will be encumbered on this PROJECT by use of a STATE-approved "Authorization to Proceed" and Finance Letter. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees that Federal funds available for reimbursement will be limited to the amounts obligated by the Federal Highway Administration.

D. Award information shall be submitted by the ADMINISTERING AGENCY to the District Local Assistance Engineer within 60 days of project contract award and prior to the submittal of the ADMINISTERING AGENCY'S first invoice for the construction contract.

Failure to do so will cause a delay in the State processing invoices for the construction phase.

Attention is directed to Section 15.6 "Award Package" of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual.

E. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees, as a minimum, to submit invoices at least once every six months commencing after the funds are encumbered for each phase by the execution of this Project Program Supplement Agreement, or by STATE's approval of an applicable Finance Letter. STATE reserves the right to suspend future authorizations/obligations for Federal aid projects, or encumbrances for State funded projects, as well as to suspend invoice payments for any on-going or future project by ADMINISTERING AGENCY if PROJECT costs have not been invoiced by ADMINISTERING AGENCY for a six-month period.

If no costs have been invoiced for a six-month period, ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to submit for each phase a written explanation of the absence of PROJECT activity along with target billing date and target billing amount.

ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to submit the final report documents that collectively constitute a "Report of Expenditures" within one hundred eighty (180) days of PROJECT completion.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, April 1, 2025, 5:00 PM
SPECIAL ORDERS OF THE DAY 33. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Saied Naaseh, Director of Community Development CD Administration Subject: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A POTENTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S SUBDIVISIONORDINANCE (CHAPTER 2 OF ARTICLE IX OF THE CARSON MUNICIPAL CODE) TO PERMITADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL OF (1) TENTATIVE TRACT MAPS FOR CONDOMINIUM PURPOSES AND (2)TENTATIVE PARCEL MAPS I. SUMMARY
On March 11, 2025, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 25-2882 with a 8-0 vote recommending approval of this item to the City Council.

Currently, all tentative parcel maps (subdivision of land into 4 or less parcels) and tentative tract maps (subdivision of land into 5 or more parcels) are subject to Planning Commission’s approval under the City's Subdivision Ordinance (Chapter 2 of Article IX of the CMC). Under the State Subdivision Map Act and the City's Subdivision Ordinance, creation of lots for condominium purposes in condominium development projects is considered a "subdivision" that is subject to the aforementioned map approval requirements despite the fact that the condominium lots are not technically separate legal parcels.

The Planning Commission's recommendation would amend the City's Subdivision Ordinance to authorize the Community Development Director, rather than the Planning Commission, to approve (1) tentative tract maps for condominium purposes, and (2) all tentative parcel maps. The proposed ordinance would help reduce the approval time for the said applications.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. OPEN the public hearing, TAKE public testimony; and CLOSE public hearing; AND

2. CONTINUE the item.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
The proposed ordinance would not alter design standards, density, parking or any other development standard or land use regulation. The proposed amendment proposes solely that certain subdivisions of land as speciﬁed above be considered at the administrative level, with the Community Developer Director serving as the primary decision-making authority rather than the Planning Commission. The changes to the text of the City's Subdivision Ordinance (Chapter 2 of Article IX of the Carson Municipal Code, available at https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Carson/#!/Carson09/Carson09020000.html) that were recommended by the Planning Commission are attached as Exhibit No. 2, which is also Attachment A to Planning Commission Resolution No. 25-2882.

CARSON RECOMMENDING THAT THE CARSON CITY COUNCIL

MAKE A FINDING OF APPLICABILITY OF CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(b)(3) AND APPROVE CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2025ZTAO1

ALLOWING FOR ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL OF TENTATIVE

PARCEL MAPS AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAPS FOR CONDOMINIUM

PURPOSES
WHEREAS, on February 25, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing as required by law to consider an amendment to the Carson Subdivision Ordinance (Chapter 2 of Article IX of the Carson Municipal Code) to provide for approval of tentative parcel maps, and tentative tract maps for condominiums purposes, by the Community Development Director rather than the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, after opening the public hearing and receiving testimony, the Planning Commission continued the item to the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting of March 11, 2025; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission completed the public hearing at the meeting of March 11, 2025, and having done so, now sees fit and intends to recommend that the code amendment be adopted by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, these changes are intended to increase efficiency and make the Carson Municipal Code more consistent with contemporary planning practices and standards, while maintaining the same level of decision-making discretion and authority vested in the Director as would otherwise be vested in the Planning Commission for tentative parcel maps and tentative tract maps for condominiums purposes; and
WHEREAS, all of the legal prerequisites to adoption of this Resolution have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CARSON HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES, AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The Planning Commission finds that the foregoing recitals are true and correct, and the same are incorporated herein by reference as findings of fact based on the entire administrative record.

SECTION 2. The Planning Commission hereby further finds as follows:
01007.0005/1058488.1
A. The proposed Code Amendment is consistent with the Carson 2040 General Plan and all applicable specific plans.

B. The proposed Code Amendment is recommended because it will, among other things:

1. Improve efficiency and minimize delays in processing requests for approval of tentative parcel maps and tentative tract maps for condominium purposes. This action will in turn help expedite processing of residential development projects, including condominium developments which involve homeownership opportunities, and eliminate certain impediments to the development of affordable housing; and

2. Modernize the City’s planning and land use standards and practices and bring them up to date with applicable provisions of current State law and the City’s Charter.

SECTION 3. Based on its independent review of the analysis set forth in the staff report and incorporated herein by this reference as a finding of fact, and the administrative record as a whole, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the Planning Commission, in the exercise of its independent judgment, hereby recommends that the City Council find that the adoption of the proposed code amendment is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the “common sense” exemption in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of the proposed code amendment may have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA review, to the extent required for approval of tentative parcel maps and tentative tract maps for condominium purposes, will continue to be conducted in the same manner and to the same extent with the Director as the approval authority for such tentative maps rather than the Planning Commission, as the Director will be vested with the same level of discretion and decision-making authority currently vested in the Planning Commission for such actions.

SECTION 4. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt an appropriate ordinance to enact the Code Amendment (2025ZTA01) to the various provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance as shown hereto as Exhibit “A” hereto, allowing for administrative approval of tentative parcel maps and tentative tract maps for condominium purposes.

SECTION 5. ‘The Secretary of the Planning Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and transmit a copy of this Resolution to the City Council via the City Clerk.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, April 1, 2025, 5:00 PM
SPECIAL ORDERS OF THE DAY 34. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Duane Cobb, Housing Analyst CM/Housing CMO Housing & Neighborhood Subject: CONTINUANCE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2025-2029 HOUSING AND URBANDEVELOPMENT (HUD) FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN, 2025-2029 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCKGRANT (CDBG) ANNUAL ACTION PLAN (AAP) I. SUMMARY
The City of Carson, as a recipient of Community Development Block Grant funding from the federal government, is required to prepare a Five-Year Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan for the use of those resources. This public hearing is an opportunity to elicit public input into the development of these related documents.

The Consolidated Plan is a ﬁve-year planning document that identiﬁes needs within low- to moderate-income (LMI) communities and outlines how the City will address those needs. Ultimately, it guides investments and helps achieve HUD’s mission of providing decent housing, creating suitable living environments, and expanding economic opportunities for LMI populations. Jurisdictions participating in any of the following HUD funding programs must submit a Consolidated Plan every ﬁve years:

Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) – CDBG is a ﬂexible federal funding source that can be used for both housing and non-housing activities, including neighborhood revitalization, workforce and economic development, community and nonproﬁt facilities, and infrastructure and public services in LMI communities.

HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) – HOME is used for building, acquiring, and rehabilitating affordable housing for rent and homeownership. It may also be used for direct rental assistance to low-income residents.

Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) – ESG funds programs and services supporting people experiencing homelessness. This includes operating shelters, providing essential services to shelter residents, administering rapid rehousing programs, and delivering homelessness prevention services.

Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) – HOPWA supports low-income people living with HIV/AIDS and their families by providing affordable housing opportunities.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. OPEN the public hearing, TAKE public testimony, and CONTINUE the Public Hearing until May 6, 2025.

2. ALLOCATE CDBG funding for FY 2025/26 (Planning Year 2025).

3. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute agreements with the public service providers as designated by City Council following negotiation and approval as to form by the City Attorney.

4. APPROVE the proposed FY 2025/26 (FY2025) CDBG budget.

5. APPROVE the submission of the City’s 2025-2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate and that is consistent with applicable laws.

IV. BACKGROUND
The City of Carson has been a recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, each year since the act was enacted. CDBG funding can be used for projects and programs primarily beneﬁting persons of low and moderate income.

Guidelines established by HUD for jurisdictions participating in its formula grant programs, including CDBG, as found in Title 24 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Part 91 and Part 570, mandate the preparation and submission of a Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) every ﬁve years, and an Annual Action Plan (AAP) each year. The ConPlan can be viewed as a strategic plan for the use of CDBG funds as well as other resources that the City devotes toward the achievement of similar objectives over a ﬁve-year period, with the AAP constituting the annual update of that strategy. HUD will evaluate the ConPlan and AAP against three basic objectives for the CDBG program:

Provision of decent housing,
Provision of a suitable living environment, and
Provision of expanded economic opportunities.

Essentially, a ConPlan consists of the following components:

Consultations with public and private agencies regarding housing and non-housing issues; A housing and market analysis describing the City's demographics, housing and facilities and services for the homeless as well as non homeless persons with special needs; Assessment of housing and non-housing community development needs of the City; and Five-year strategies for such issues as affordable housing and homelessness, non-housing community development, and housing.

It is estimated that HUD will allocate the City $660,108.00 in CDBG entitlement funding for Program Year 2025 (City Fiscal Year 2025/26). The City’s most recent ConPlan was submitted in 2020 and covers CDBG Program Years 2020 through 2024 (encompassing the period beginning July 1, 2020, and ending June 30, 2024). The City must now submit to HUD a new ConPlan for Program Years 2025 through 2029 (encompassing the period beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2029). As it has done each year, the City must also submit an AAP for Program Year 2025 (the period beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026), which, as the ﬁrst year of the ConPlan cycle, will be included as part of the ConPlan. The ConPlan was prepared with the assistance of a consulting ﬁrm, RSG Solutions, Inc.

The HUD regulations regarding ConPlans and AAPs mandate a citizen participation and public review process.

This includes a minimum of two public hearings prior to the submission of a ConPlan or an AAP. City staff and RSG Solutions, Inc. convened two public input sessions on the ConPlan and AAP; a virtual community input meeting on January 15, 2025, and an in-person community input meeting January 27, 2025.

Drafts of the ConPlan and AAP were made available on March 4, 2025, with public hearing taking place on March 18, 2025. Subsequently, the drafts are then subjected to a HUD-mandated 30-day public review and comment period which begins on March 19, 2025, and concludes on April 21, 2025.

CDBG Public Service Subrecipient Process
Each year, considerable public interest is devoted to the allocation of CDBG funds for eligible community public services. Per CDBG regulations, public service funding is restricted to no more than 15% of the annual entitlement allocation (that is, $99,016.20 for FY 2025-2026).

To qualify as a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) subrecipient in the City of Carson, an organization must meet speciﬁc eligibility requirements in accordance with HUD regulations (24 CFR Part 570) and local CDBG program guidelines. Eligible subrecipients include private nonproﬁt organizations (501(c)(3)), public agencies, and certain for-proﬁt entities that provide eligible public services beneﬁting low- and moderate-income (LMI) residents or addressing urgent community development needs. Staff notiﬁed over twenty organizations, including some based locally in Carson, regarding the application process and relevant deadline.

As stated in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) documents that were disseminated as part of the program application, HUD requires that public service organizations shall not target or serve any single ethnic population.

Discrimination of any kind in the rendering of public services shall be cause for the rejection of a proposal.

Organizations whose primary purpose is to beneﬁt members of a particular ethnic group are not prohibited from applying for CDBG funds, but the program for which CDBG funds are sought must be open to persons outside that ethnic group. Religious or faith-based organizations are advised that Federal funding may not be used to support any religious activities or religious inﬂuence in the delivery of public services.

Additionally, any organization that applies to be considered for funding are required to demonstrate ﬁnancial and administrative capacity to manage federal funds, maintain compliance with HUD reporting and monitoring requirements, and adhere to federal regulations, including OMB’s Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200). Additionally, subrecipients must provide a measurable public beneﬁt to the community at large, ensure non-discriminatory service delivery, and document that at least 51% of program beneﬁciaries meet HUD’s LMI criteria. Compliance with environmental reviews, Section 504 (disability accessibility), and Section 3 (economic opportunities for low-income individuals) is also required. Applicants must submit a detailed program proposal, budget, organizational history, proof of nonproﬁt status (if applicable), and evidence of insurance coverage to be considered for funding.

Also, the following criteria are used in evaluating requests for public service funding:

The organization is viable, stable, and exhibits the administrative capacity to successfully complete a project history and performance including ﬁndings and/or corrections.

The service directly beneﬁts extremely low, low, and moderate income Carson residents.

The organization has a process in place to measure the amount of assistance provided to Carson residents.

The service will not duplicate or overlap an existing service.

The organization has other sources of funding to match or supplement the City’s CDBG funding.

The CDBG funding provided will be used for client services, not on-going administrative expenses.

CDBG public service funds (15% cap) cannot be rolled over from one program year to the next. The 15% cap for public services is based on each program year's total CDBG allocation, plus program income received in that year.

Jurisdictions must obligate and expend public service funds within the speciﬁed timeline, or they risk losing access to those funds. If public service funds are not fully utilized, they are typically reallocated to eligible CDBG activities in the following year but not added to the new 15% cap. This means unused public service funds could be reassigned to housing rehabilitation, infrastructure, or other eligible CDBG categories that do not have percentage caps (i.e. Neighborhood Pride Program).

A request for proposals (RFP) for public service providers was issued on January 14, 2025, with a response deadline of February 3, 2025. That RFP generated four responses, from the following entities:

Public Service Requests FY 2025/26
Fair Housing Foundation has requested $36,627.00
Housing Rights Center has requested $34,977.00
Boys & Girls Club of Carson has requested $40,000.00
Venice Family Clinic has requested $20,000.00
Subsequent to the Council Meeting of March 18, 2025, the City of Carson reopened the application window to submit proposals for the 2025-2026 CDBG via public Notice of Funding Availability. Beginning March 19, 2025 through Wednesday April 2, 2025 all interested parties were invited to submit descriptive program proposals and a required city application. All completed proposals and applications need to be received no later than 12:00 P.M. on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.

The draft ConPlan issued for public review and comment (Exhibit No. 1) includes the recommended Program Year 2025-2026 AAP allocations. The CDBG Program Year 2025-2026 Action Plan is also included as part of Exhibit No.

1. These services are critical in assisting the City in fulﬁlling the aforementioned mandate to aﬃrmatively further fair housing, and in executing the Citizen Participation Plan (Exhibit No. 2).

Exhibit No. 3 (Proposed Project Summary Table) is a capsule summary of the funding requests and Exhibit No. 4 (2025-2026 CDBG Estimated Public Service Allocations) details Public Service requests and recommended allocations.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed action would allocate the FY 2025-2026 estimated grant of $660,108.00.

No impact to the General Fund is anticipated.

Consolidated Plan CARSON 4
2025-2029
Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction

As an entitlement jurisdiction under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the City of Carson (City) receives federal funds in proportion to its population size, concentration of poverty, and other socioeconomic and demographic data. To remain eligible for these funds, the City is required to submit a Consolidated Plan to HUD every five years. This document serves as Carson’s Consolidated Plan for the 2025 to 2029 Program Years.

The Consolidated Plan is a five-year planning document that identifies needs within low- to moderate-income (LMI) communities and outlines how the City will address those needs.

Ultimately, it guides investments and helps achieve HUD’s mission of providing decent housing, creating suitable living environments, and expanding economic opportunities for LMI populations. Jurisdictions participating in any of the following HUD funding programs must submit a Consolidated Plan every five years:

• Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) – CDBG is a flexible federal funding source that can be used for both housing and non-housing activities, including neighborhood revitalization, workforce and economic development, community and nonprofit facilities, and infrastructure and public services in LMI communities. • HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) – HOME is used for building, acquiring, and rehabilitating affordable housing for rent and homeownership. It may also be used for direct rental assistance to low-income residents.
• Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) – ESG funds programs and services supporting people experiencing homelessness. This includes operating shelters, providing essential services to shelter residents, administering rapid rehousing programs, and delivering homelessness prevention services.
• Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) – HOPWA supports low-income people living with HIV/AIDS and their families by providing affordable housing opportunities.

The City of Carson directly receives CDBG funding. The City anticipates receiving approximately $660,108 in CDBG funds annually over the next five program years, or $3,300,540 total.

Consolidated Plan CARSON 5
2025-2029
As the lead agency for the Consolidated Plan, the City of Carson follows HUD’s guidelines for citizen and community involvement and is responsible for overseeing citizen participation requirements that accompany the Consolidated Plan. The goals in this Consolidated Plan were developed through a collaborative process to identify the community's priority needs and outline the activities the City will undertake with these funds during the 2025 to 2029 period.

This Consolidated Plan includes the following components:
• A Needs Assessment that identifies the community’s affordable housing, community development, and homelessness needs.
• A Market Analysis that examines the existing housing market, public housing requirements, homeless population needs, and economic characteristics of the jurisdiction.
• A Strategic Plan outlining the strategies to address the identified priority needs over the next five years.
• An Annual Action Plan that summarizes the specific activities to be undertaken during the program year to address the priority needs.

2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview

The City established its goals and priorities for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan based on the findings from the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis, as well as feedback gathered through community and stakeholder surveys and public input. Through these efforts, the City has identified four priority needs that will guide funding allocations and programmatic initiatives over the next five years.

The four priority needs for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan cycle are:

• Affordable Housing: Assist in increasing and preserving access to high-quality affordable housing by investing in property rehabilitation.
• Community Services: Expand essential community services for vulnerable populations, including seniors, youth, and individuals with special needs. • Fair Housing Services: Broaden fair housing education by raising awareness of rights, fostering inclusivity, and eliminating barriers to access.

These priority needs represent the varied needs that emerged during the City’s Consolidated Plan community engagement and development process, which included qualitative and quantitative data gathered through citizen participation, market analysis, and assessment of Consolidated Plan CARSON 6
2025-2029
localized data. By aligning funding decisions with these priorities, the City seeks to maximize the impact of available resources and address the most urgent needs within the community.

3. Evaluation of past performance

As part of the Consolidated Plan process, the City is required to submit an annual Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), which reports on how funds were spent, the households that benefitted from the funds, and the progress toward meeting its annual goals for housing and community development activities. These reports are reviewed by the City of Carson City Council (City Council) and posted on the City’s website.

The City has successfully implemented affordable housing, community development, and public services activities in the previous Consolidated Plan cycle, impacting the lives of thousands of residents with low to moderate incomes. It is anticipated that the City and its partners will continue to positively impact residents through collaborative efforts. Below is a summary of some of the outcomes achieved during the first four years of the previous five-year Consolidated Plan cycle. Final outcome data for the previous Consolidated Plan cycle will be presented to HUD with the submittal of the Program Year 2024-25 CAPER.

• Rehabilitated 99 residential units through the City’s Neighborhood Pride Program • Provided fair housing services to 177 residents through the Fair Housing Program operated by the Housing Rights Center
• Served 12,106 individuals through the provision of public services

4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process

The City’s community participation process was informed by the Citizen Participation Plan, which guides the implementation of a community engagement process and notification of community meetings and public hearings. To ensure broad community involvement, the City held a community meeting and a stakeholder meeting and distributed both a Community Needs Assessment Survey and a Stakeholder Survey to gather input. To increase accessibility, the Community Needs Assessment Survey was made available in Spanish and Tagalog.

Community members were also able to provide input on the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan during a public comment period held from March 19 to April 21, 2025, and at public hearings on March 18, 2025, and May 6, 2025. Public notices for each hearing were published at least 10 days prior to the date of the hearing in the Daily Breeze newspaper, as well as posted at City Hall. All community engagement efforts are detailed further in the Process section of this plan.

2025-2029

5. Summary of public comments

Feedback on community needs was collected through a community meeting and survey, a stakeholder meeting and survey, a public comment period, and at two formal public hearings.

These comments provided insight into community needs and informed the goals of the Consolidated Plan. The top priority needs identified were infrastructure improvements, economic development, services for special needs populations, and the development and preservation of affordable housing.

6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them

All public comments were accepted and included in Appendix G – Public Comments.

7. Summary

The City’s Consolidated Plan outlines the housing and community development strategies and objectives for the 2025-2029 period while fulfilling the statutory requirements necessary to receive CDBG funding. Beyond compliance, the City is dedicated to fostering robust participation from Carson residents and stakeholders throughout the Consolidated Plan process, with a particular focus on expanding opportunities for its residents with low to moderate incomes. This plan and its comprehensive community engagement efforts reflect the City’s commitment to inclusivity and equity in addressing housing and community development needs.

1. Introduction

The City developed its 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan through consultation with local health and social service providers and adjacent local governments, homeless and social service providers active in Carson, and other stakeholders. These efforts are outlined below.

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)).

To address the needs of residents with low to moderate incomes, the City of Carson collaborates with public and assisted housing providers, as well as private and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies. The Carson Housing Authority plays a central role in supporting affordable housing initiatives by partnering with developers and housing providers to leverage available resources and pursue funding opportunities. While the Carson Housing Authority does not own or manage public housing within the city, the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA), a division of the Los Angeles County Community Development Authority (LACDA), oversees this function and administers the Section 8 program.

The City’s Department of Community Services facilitates coordination with health and mental health service agencies. Through its allocation of up to 15 percent of annual CDBG funds for public services, the City has supported organizations such as South Bay Family Healthcare Center, Carson Child Guidance Program, and the Office of Samoan Affairs. These partnerships ensure residents have access to essential health and mental health services.

Carson is committed to fostering collaboration and leveraging resources to maximize the impact of available programs. The City engages with housing providers, regional entities, and service agencies throughout the year to endorse funding applications, identify opportunities for cooperative ventures, and avoid duplication of services. This ongoing coordination helps ensure the City can effectively meet the needs of its community.

Consolidated Plan CARSON 10
2025-2029
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 Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) serves as the lead agency for the HUD- funded Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC), coordinating federal, state, county, and city funds to provide shelter, housing, and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The City of Carson works closely with LAHSA to align its efforts with the CoC’s strategic initiatives, leveraging resources and programs to address the needs of homeless residents, including chronically homeless individuals, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth, as well as those at risk of homelessness.

Recent developments by the City related to homelessness include:

• Continued involvement by City staff in the regular monthly meetings of the South Bay Coalition to End Homelessness;
• Ongoing participation in the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative; • Continued participation in a joint program of the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) to coordinate the following activities: outreach services; a South Bay Cities homeless hotline, screenings, and coordinated entry system assessments; case management; linkages to interim housing; housing location services; outreach to local landlords; and ongoing supportive services; and • Regular meetings of the City’s Homeless Task Force, which is coordinated by the Assistant City Manager and includes the Community Development, Community Services, and Public Safety Departments, as well as the County Sheriff’s Department (the law enforcement agency in Carson).

The City also collaborates with LAHSA on the annual Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, an essential effort by the community to engage and survey individuals experiencing homelessness to provide an accurate count of the region’s unsheltered and sheltered homeless populations.

During the 2022 PIT Count, a total of 133 people were identified as experiencing homelessness in the City of Carson, all of which were unsheltered.

Table PR-10.01 outlines the demographics of the unsheltered homeless population recorded during the 2024 PIT Count for Service Planning Area (SPA) 8, which includes the City of Carson, providing insight into the characteristics and needs of this vulnerable group.

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 Carson does not directly receive ESG funds. Instead, ESG funding for the region is administered by LAHSA, which serves as the lead agency for the Los Angeles CoC. LAHSA is responsible for establishing performance standards, evaluating outcomes of ESG-assisted projects, and developing funding, policies, and procedures for the administration of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

City of Carson staff participates in LAHSA committee meetings, as schedules allow, to engage in discussions about standards, policies, and procedures related to ESG funds. LAHSA manages the Request for Proposals (RFP) process to allocate ESG funding to eligible programs. While no ESG- funded programs are currently based in Carson, several programs in neighboring cities, such as Torrance and Long Beach, have received funding and may provide services that benefit Carson residents through regional collaborations.

2. Describe Agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process and describe the jurisdictions consultations with housing, social service agencies and other entities

The City invited various community organizations, government entities, service providers, and stakeholders to participate in a stakeholder meeting and a community meeting regarding the Consolidated Plan. In addition to attending the meetings, stakeholders were given the opportunity to complete a survey unique to stakeholders to provide further input.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting

During the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City implemented multiple strategies to gather community input and feedback. These efforts included a community meeting and a separate stakeholder meeting, as well as the dissemination of a Stakeholder Survey and a Community Needs Assessment Survey available both online and in print. The Community Needs Assessment Survey was offered in English, Spanish, and Tagalog. City staff conducted extensive outreach efforts ahead of the community events related to the Consolidated Plan. A total of 139 government and nonprofit agencies were notified of the opportunities to participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan. Additionally, notices about the meetings and surveys were distributed via email, posted on social media platforms, and shared on the City’s website to ensure broad community awareness and participation.

During the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City hosted two meetings to gather input from residents and stakeholders. The first meeting was a stakeholder meeting held virtually on January 15, 2025, which was attended by 3 participants. The second meeting was a community meeting that took place on January 27, 2025, at the City of Carson Community Center, which was attended by 27 participants. The presentation slides for the stakeholder and community meetings are provided in Appendices B and C, respectively. These meetings followed a two-part format: a presentation outlining the Consolidated Plan, HUD entitlement programs, and a demographic and economic overview of the City, followed by small group discussions during which attendees shared their perspectives on the community’s greatest needs. Feedback from these discussions was documented.

A Community Needs Assessment Survey was offered online and via hard copy to gather feedback on the Consolidated Plan and community priorities. The survey was available in English, Spanish and Tagalog, and completed by 30 respondents. Additionally, an online Stakeholder Survey was offered to key community stakeholders and completed by two stakeholders. The feedback collected through these surveys informed the goals outlined in this Consolidated Plan. A summary of the Community Needs Assessment Survey responses can be found in Appendix D. A summary of the Stakeholder Survey responses can be found in Appendix E.

A public notice was posted on the City’s website and at City Hall and printed in the Daily Breeze newspaper at least 14 days prior to the City Council public hearing on March 18, 2025, which was held to present the draft Consolidated Plan and open a 30-day public comment period.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
The Needs Assessment includes the following sections:
• NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment
• NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems • NA-20 Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems • NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burden • NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion
• NA-35 Public Housing
• NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment
• NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment
• NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs

Needs Assessment Overview

The Needs Assessment section describes the socioeconomic and housing landscape in the City of Carson. Carson has experienced slight population growth in recent years. As shown in Table NA-10.01, the population increased from 92,927 to 94,475 residents between 2017 and 2022, or 1.7 percent. As shown in Table NA-10.02, notable demographic shifts have occurred during this five-year period, particularly a 155 percent increase in individuals identifying as two or more races. Meanwhile, the White population decreased by 28 percent.

Economic trends reflect a widening income gap. As shown in Table NA-10.06, Carson households earning over $200,000 grew by 179 percent. However, as shown in Table NA-10.07, the number of Carson residents living below the poverty level decreased by only 12 percent.

Housing affordability remains a critical issue in Carson. As shown in Table NA-10.16, 32 percent of households are housing cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing. Renters are disproportionately affected, with 48 percent of renter households experiencing cost burden.

The need for a range of services for individuals experiencing homelessness remains critical.

According to Point-in-Time Counts, the number of people facing homelessness has increased in recent years within the Los Angeles County CoC, particularly in Service Planning Area 8, which includes Carson. Additionally, the city is home to various non-homeless special needs populations that also require support.

The primary source of data used in Needs Assessment section are HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) tabulations, which are based on the U.S Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) data and incorporate HUD-specified criteria relating to housing needs, HUD-defined income limits, and household types. This Needs Assessment predominantly uses data drawn from the most recent CHAS data set (2017-2021) and the most recent ACS data set (2018-2022). The information contained in this section informs the preparation of Carson’s housing and community development priorities and both five- and one- year investment strategies.

Again, a household is considered cost-burdened if they pay 30 to 50 percent of gross household income on housing costs. A household is considered severely cost- burdened if they pay more than 50 percent of gross household income on housing costs. For homeowners, gross housing costs include mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, energy payments, water and sewer service, and refuse collection. For renters, gross housing costs include monthly rent and selected electricity and natural gas energy charges.

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

According to 2022 five-year ACS estimates, 16 percent of occupied housing units in Carson are occupied by a one-person household (4,095 households). Of these single-person households, 52 Data Source: 2013-2017 and 2017-2021 CHAS [Summary Level Data] Consolidated Plan CARSON 31
2025-2029
percent are aged 65 years or older (2,134 households). Senior single-person households often require housing assistance, as they typically rely on fixed incomes that may not keep pace with rising living costs.

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.

According to 2022 five-year ACS estimates, the median income for those living with a disability in Carson is $34,968, which is 79 percent of the median income of those living without a disability ($44,022).

There is no information available specifically on victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking in Carson. However, according to the U.S. Department of Justice 2020 Biennial Violence Against Women Report to Congress, approximately 44 percent of women and 25 percent of men nationwide experience some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetime. Due to the large number of domestic and sexual violence victims nationwide, it is anticipated that there is a need for housing assistance for domestic and sexual violence victims in Carson. Low-income individuals are particularly susceptible to domestic or sexual violence as they have limited access to resources, such as safe and secure housing and legal representation. Also at higher risk are chronically underserved populations, including rural victims and victims with disabilities.

What are the most common housing problems?

As shown in Table NA-10.08, the most common housing problem continues to be housing cost burden. Table NA-10.16 shows that 1,715 renter households are cost-burdened (spending 30 to 50 percent of income on housing), while 1,510 households are severely cost-burdened (spending more than 50 percent of income on housing). For owner-occupied households, 2,970 households are cost-burdened, and 2,045 households are severely cost-burdened.

Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems?

Overall, housing cost burden disproportionately affects renters, with 48 percent of renter households experiencing cost burden (3,225 of 6,760 households as shown in Table NA-10.16).

Comparatively, 26 percent of owner households experience cost burden (5,015 of 19,335 households as shown in Table NA-10.16). As shown in Table NA-10.10, 46 percent of cost- burdened households are small family households and 30 percent are elderly households. As Consolidated Plan CARSON 32
2025-2029
shown in Table NA-10.11, 37 percent of severely cost-burdened households are small family households and 36 percent are elderly households.

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.

Households most likely to be at risk of becoming unsheltered are those with extremely low incomes that are severely cost-burdened. As shown in Table NA-10.11, 1,175 renter households and 1,055 owner households in Carson earn below 30 percent of AMI and are severely cost- burdened. Households with extremely low incomes make up 66 percent of low-income households that are severely cost-burdened.

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:

According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, various factors contribute to an increased risk of homelessness, particularly housing-related challenges that create instability for vulnerable households. One of the most significant risk factors is low income, which is closely linked to housing insecurity. Many low-income households face unemployment or underemployment due to barriers such as a challenging labor market, limited education, gaps in work history, criminal records, unreliable transportation, unstable housing, poor health, and disabilities.

For those who are employed but still low-income, stagnant wages and rising housing costs create an affordability gap, making it difficult to maintain stable housing. As housing costs continue to increase, wages have not kept pace, leaving many individuals and families struggling to afford rent. The combination of low income and a shrinking supply of affordable housing places many households at heightened risk of homelessness.

As discussed in this and the following sections, many households in the community face significant cost burdens and other housing challenges, further contributing to instability and increasing their risk of homelessness.

NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

Introduction

HUD defines a disproportionate need as any need for a race/ethnicity that is more than 10 percent above the need for the total households at a particular income level. For example, if 40 percent of all very low-income households in a jurisdiction experience one or more of the four defined housing problems, but 50 percent of one specific ethnic group’s very low-income households experience housing problems, that would be considered a disproportionate need.

Again, the four housing problems are:

1. Unit lacks complete kitchen facilities;

2. Unit lacks complete plumbing facilities;

3. Household spends more than 30 percent of income on housing costs; and

4. Household includes more than one person per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, and half-rooms.

The following tables and analyses outline the share of households by race/ethnicity and income level experiencing a housing problem.

NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

Introduction:

Disproportionate greater need relative to housing cost burden is calculated by dividing the number of households in a cost burden category (i.e., not cost burdened, spending more than 30 percent on housing, or spending more than 50 percent on housing) by the total number of households for that given racial or ethnic group or the jurisdiction for a whole. For example, 68 percent of the jurisdiction spends 30 percent or less of their income on housing costs. This is calculated by dividing 17,679, or the number of households in this category, by the total households, or 26,108. The total households are calculated by summing the numbers in the top data row shown below.

The following section analyzes whether any racial or ethnic groups in Carson experience a disproportionately greater cost burden compared to the overall population. Again, housing cost burden is defined as households spending more than 30 to 50 percent of their income on housing, while severe cost burden applies to those spending more than 50 percent.

NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion – 91.205(b)(2)

Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole?

The data presented in Section NA-15 through NA-25 above show that there are racial or ethnic groups that experience disproportionately greater need in terms of housing problems. HUD defines a disproportionate need as any need for a certain race/ethnicity that is more than 10 percent above the need for the total households at a particular income level. As shown in the tables in the preceding sections, the following racial or ethnic groups have disproportionately greater need:

Housing Problems:
• 0-30 percent AMI: Black/African American; Pacific Islander • 30-50 percent AMI: Pacific Islander
• 50-80 percent AMI: Pacific Islander
• 80-100 percent AMI: Black/African American

Severe Housing Problems:
• 0-30 percent AMI: Black/African American; Pacific Islander • 30-50 percent AMI: Black/African American
• 50-80 percent AMI: Pacific Islander
• 80-100 percent AMI: None

There were no identified racial or ethnic groups that had a disproportionately greater need than the jurisdiction relative to housing cost burden.

Pacific Islander and Black/African American households are the most common groups to experience disproportionately greater needs. Note that, in absolute numbers, Pacific Islander households in Carson constitute a relatively small population of 320 households, of which 100 earn up to 80 percent of the AMI. White, Hispanic, Asian, and American Indian/Alaska Native households do not have disproportionately greater need in any category at any income level.

NA-35 Public Housing – 91.205(b)

Introduction

The Carson Housing Authority does not own or operate any public housing within the city limits. In Carson, the role of a “public housing authority” (PHA), as the term is commonly understood, is carried out by the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA), a division of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA). HACoLA oversees public housing units across Los Angeles County, although none of these properties are located in Carson. In addition to managing public housing, HACoLA administers rental assistance programs, including Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, which provide financial support to eligible low-income households.

The following tables present data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Information Center (PIC), offering further insights into public housing programs and rental assistance administered countywide by HACoLA (not only within Carson).

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

As noted above, the City does not own or operate any public housing units. The public housing authority operating in Carson is the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA), a division of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA). HACoLA manages public housing properties located throughout Los Angeles County, although none of these units are located in Carson. HACoLA's activity in Carson is limited to the Section 8 program.

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

The most immediate needs of public housing and Housing Choice Voucher holders center around securing and maintaining affordable housing. Many voucher holders are extremely low- income households that are particularly vulnerable to housing instability due to factors such as rising rents, fixed or limited incomes, and a lack of available units that accept vouchers.

For many households, even a small increase in rent or unexpected financial hardship could lead to displacement. Challenges such as long wait times for housing assistance, difficulty finding landlords willing to participate in the voucher program, and inadequate supportive services further heighten this risk. Many households may also require supportive services, including case management, rental assistance, or emergency financial aid to ensure long-term housing stability.

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

The housing needs of public housing and Housing Choice Voucher holders are significantly more urgent and prevalent compared to the general population. Households utilizing publicly supported housing typically have lower incomes, which increases their risk of housing instability, cost burden, and risk of experiencing homelessness.

Additionally, the rate of disabilities among public housing residents is higher than in the general population, creating a greater need for accessible units and supportive services. These factors, combined with limited housing availability and challenges related to landlord participation, make securing and maintaining stable housing particularly challenging for these households compared to the broader community.

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)

Introduction

The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) serves as the lead agency for the HUD- funded Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC), a regional network of service providers dedicated to addressing homelessness. As part of its efforts, LAHSA conducts the annual Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, which provides a snapshot of the homeless population on a given night. The Annual PIT data consists of information collected on the sheltered and unsheltered homeless population. It is a physical count of all homeless persons who are living in emergency shelter, transitional housing, safe havens, and on the street in a single night. Data describing the characteristics of sheltered homeless persons are obtained from the region’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) where possible and collected directly from providers not using HMIS as needed.

Unsheltered homeless are counted by direct observation, and volunteers canvas the regions by car and on foot during the chosen night. A large subset of the unsheltered population is also interviewed, providing data that is then used to estimate demographic details of the unsheltered population at a single point-in-time.

In the 2024 PIT Count for Service Planning Area 8 (SPA 8)—which covers the South Bay region within the Los Angeles CoC (excluding Long Beach)— 1,436 sheltered individuals and 3,992 unsheltered individuals were counted, totaling 5,428 individuals experiencing homelessness.

Introduction:

The non-homeless special needs group is described as persons who are not homeless but who require housing or supportive services because of special characteristics. This group includes elderly (aged 62 and older); frail elderly; persons with mental, physical or developmental disabilities; persons with HIV/AIDS and their families; persons with alcohol or other drug addictions; and victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.

Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:

Elderly and Frail Elderly

Seniors (those 65 years of age and older) are considered a special needs group due to their relatively low income and relatively high presence of disabilities or limitations and dependency needs. According to 2022 five-year ACS estimates, 17 percent of Carson’s population is aged 65 years or older (16,245 individuals). Furthermore, 2,134 Carson households (8 percent of all households) consist of a person aged 65 or older living alone. Senior households are particularly vulnerable to housing problems due to limited income, prevalence of mental and physical disabilities, limited mobility and high health care costs. As shown in Table NA-10.11, 36 percent of low-income households experiencing severe housing cost burden are elderly (1,210 households).

Persons with Alcohol or Other Drug Addictions

The Substance Abuse Prevention and Control (SAPC) division of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health tracks substance use disorder (SUD) treatment data across the county. Per SAPC’s most recent report for the 2023–2024 fiscal year, a total of 34,229 unique patients accounted for 56,196 treatment admissions. Of these individuals, 10 percent resided in Service Planning Area (SPA) 8. Alcohol was the most reported primary substance at admission (29 percent), followed closely by methamphetamine (29 percent) and prescription drugs (17 percent). The most frequently reported age range for first primary substance use was 12 to 17 years old (42 percent), highlighting the early onset of substance use among a significant portion of individuals seeking treatment.

Victims of Domestic Violence

Pinpointing specific numbers of domestic violence victims is difficult due to the lack of reporting and other mitigating factors. However, the California Department of Justice received 257 domestic violence-related calls for assistance in 2023 from residents of Carson, nearly identical to the number of calls in 2022 (255).

What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?

The housing and supportive service needs of these populations were identified through multiple sources, including community and stakeholder meetings, as well as responses to surveys distributed to the community and identified stakeholders.

The Community Needs Assessment Survey results highlight affordable rental housing for seniors as the top housing priority, with 67 percent of respondents identifying it as one of the top three most critical needs. Other significant housing needs include affordable for-sale housing (with 63 percent of respondents identifying it as one of the top three most critical needs) and affordable rental housing for individuals and families with low to moderate incomes (with 40 percent of respondents identifying it as one of the top three most critical needs).

In terms of supportive services, the Community Needs Assessment Survey respondents ranked services for neglected and abused children as the highest priority, with 73 percent of respondents identifying it as a critical need. Other key services identified included centers and services for people with disabilities (with 67 percent of respondents identifying it as one of the

Consolidated Plan CARSON 58
2025-2029
top three most critical needs) and domestic violence services (with 50 percent of respondents identifying it as one of the top three most critical needs).

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

Individuals affected by HIV and/or AIDS represent a special needs population with unique challenges. The 2023 Los Angeles County Annual HIV Surveillance Report outlines the status of the HIV epidemic in the county. Key findings from the report include the following:
• As of year-end 2023, 51,796 Los Angeles County residents (including adolescent, adult and pediatric cases) were living with diagnosed HIV. This number excludes undiagnosed persons living with HIV.
• In 2022, 1,641 persons aged 13 years and older were newly diagnosed with HIV. • HIV diagnosis rates vary by population and location, with significant disparities. Males have a higher rate of new HIV diagnoses (35 per 100,000) compared to females (5 per 100,000).
• Black persons had higher rates of HIV diagnosis compared with all other racial and ethnic groups.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs.

Programs will target households that experience housing problems in the City of Carson. As shown in Table NA-10.08, an estimated 3,415 renter households and 4,660 owner households experience cost burden, overcrowding, and/or substandard housing. To improve housing stability and affordability, programs will prioritize assistance for low- and moderate-income households, including families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.

Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.

Carson’s 2021-2029 Housing Element includes an evaluation of low-income multifamily rental units at risk of becoming market rate housing within the 2021-2031 at-risk housing analysis period.

The Carson Gardens Apartments includes 100 assisted units and is considered at moderate risk of conversion, since the Section 8 contract with HUD will expire in 2031, according to HUD’s Multifamily Assistance and Section 8 Database as of December 2021.

Additionally, Grace Manor includes 30 assisted units and is considered at very high risk of conversion, because the Section 8 contract expires in 2022, according to HUD’s Multifamily Assistance and Section 8 Database as of December 2021. According to contract renewal information provided by HUD’s Multifamily Property/Contract/Rent & Utility Allowance Datasets, a 12-month contract with HUD for Grace Manor was renewed in July 2021. Grace Manor is owned by the Long Beach Affordable Housing Coalition (LBAHC), which is a non-profit Community Development Corporation (CDC). It is likely that the LBAHC will continue to maintain the project as affordable housing during the planning period by continuing to enter into 12-month contracts with HUD.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population?

As highlighted in the Needs Assessment section and reinforced by public input, the current housing stock in Carson does not adequately meet the needs of the population. This is most evident in the high rate of cost burden and severe cost burden among residents. As shown in Table NA-10.16, according to 2022 five-year CHAS data, 48 percent of renters and 26 percent of homeowners are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their income on

Describe the need for specific types of housing.

Based on the Community Needs Assessment Survey, affordable rental housing for seniors was identified as the top priority among housing needs, with 67 percent of respondents ranking it as one of the top three critical needs.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels?

The housing needs and cost burden analysis in the Needs Assessment highlight significant housing challenges faced by a substantial segment of the Carson population, particularly households with low incomes. These households are disproportionately affected by cost burdens, indicating a lack of sufficient housing options that are affordable to all income levels.

Public input reinforced this finding, with community members emphasizing the urgent need for more affordable housing for lower-income households. This highlights the importance of expanding housing options and assistance programs to better serve Carson residents.

How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?

Housing prices in Carson have risen significantly in recent years. If this trend continues, rising rents and home values will place more households under financial strain.

How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?

Table MA-15.04 shows the current HUD fair market rents for rental housing, as well as the allowable high and low HOME rents. These rents are the upper limits of rents that can be charged by property owners with units assisted by HUD rental housing programs. Increasing rents in the region’s market have widened the gap between HUD FMRs and market rents, creating problems for low-income households seeking units that will accept their HUD voucher for rent assistance.

The following section provides information on the condition of housing in the City of Carson.

Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation":

The City of Carson defines standard and substandard housing condition based on California Health and Safety Code. California Health and Safety Code Section 17920.3 defines a substandard structure as any building or portion thereof in which there exists any of the following conditions to an extent that endangers the life, limb, health, property, safety, or welfare of the occupants, nearby residents, or the public:
• Inadequate sanitation (including lack of or improper bathroom facilities, running water, and heating);
• Structural hazards;
• Any nuisance;
• Faulty wiring;
• Unsafe or improper plumbing;
• Unsafe or improper mechanical equipment;
• Faulty weather protection;
• Conditions that could cause or augment the spread of a fire or explosion; • Unsafe or improper construction materials;
• Debris constituting a fire, health, or safety hazard; • Inadequate maintenance;
• Inadequate exits;
• Inadequate fire protection; or
• Space occupied for living, sleeping, cooking, or dining that were not intended for those purposes.

A standard housing condition is one in which none of the above conditions exist.

Describe the need for owner and rental rehabilitation based on the condition of the jurisdiction's housing.

As shown in Table MA-20.02 above, approximately 80 percent of occupied housing units in Carson were built before 1980, highlighting the City's aging housing stock and the growing need for both owner and rental rehabilitation. Older housing stock presents challenges such as

Consolidated Plan CARSON 73
2025-2029
deferred maintenance, outdated infrastructure, and potential health hazards, including lead- based paint exposure. The rising costs of labor and materials, coupled with stagnant wages, make it difficult for many homeowners and landlords to afford necessary repairs, often resulting in deteriorating housing conditions.

Most affected by these conditions are low-income seniors and those with disabilities who do not have the resources, and in many instances, the physical capabilities to maintain their residences. Owners of aging rental units also may face challenges when there is insufficient cash flow to enable them to keep abreast of the maintenance and rehabilitation needs of their units.

Estimate the number of housing units within the jurisdiction that are occupied by low- or moderate-income families that contain lead-based paint hazards. 91.205(e), 91.405

Lead-based paint hazards are most commonly found in homes built before 1980. As shown in Tables MA-20.02 and MA-20.05 above, approximately 82 percent of owner-occupied and 74 percent of renter-occupied units were built before 1980, making them potential sources of lead exposure. Among these older units, 11 percent of owner-occupied and 15 percent of renter- occupied homes have children present, a population particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning.

To better estimate the number of housing units occupied by low- or moderate-income families that may contain lead-based paint hazards, Table MA-20.06 provides a breakdown of households living in pre-1980 units by income level. The high percentage of older rental units, combined with the presence of children in these homes, underscores the ongoing need for lead hazard remediation efforts, particularly in rental housing occupied by lower-income families.

Describe mainstream services, such as health, mental health, and employment services to the extent those services are used to complement services targeted to homeless persons

Mainstream services, including health care, mental health support, and employment services, are essential in addressing the broader challenges that contribute to housing instability and homelessness. These services are integrated within the Los Angeles County CoC through partnerships with non-profit organizations, government agencies, and specialized service providers.

Through LAHSA, funding, program design, outcomes assessment, and technical assistance are provided to more than 100 non-profit partner agencies. These agencies deliver a continuum of programs ranging from outreach, access centers, emergency shelters, safe havens, transitional and permanent housing, and homelessness prevention services. They also offer the supportive services necessary to help individuals develop the skills and stability needed for long-term housing security.

In addition to coordinating service providers, LAHSA collaborates with both the City and County of Los Angeles to integrate mainstream services and housing opportunities, ensuring a broad and equitable distribution of resources throughout the Los Angeles County CoC. This partnership enhances access to health care, mental health treatment, substance use disorder services, workforce development programs, and other critical interventions that promote housing retention and self-sufficiency.

List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations.

Numerous homeless service providers in Los Angeles County operate as part of the Los Angeles County CoC. These service providers offer a comprehensive range of support beyond housing and shelter, including employment training, counseling, financial literacy, legal aid, childcare, and transportation services. These wraparound services help individuals and families experiencing homelessness address barriers to stable housing, secure employment, and achieve long-term self-sufficiency.

Additionally, the City of Carson partners with local service providers to meet the needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. These partnerships help ensure that

Consolidated Plan CARSON 78
2025-2029
emergency shelter, transitional housing, meal programs, healthcare, and supportive services are accessible to those in need. The City collaborates with key organizations, such as Harbor Interfaith Services, and Beacon Light Mission in conjunction with LAHSA to connect homeless individuals and families with available resources and long-term housing solutions. By leveraging partnerships and integrating supportive services, the City aims to provide comprehensive, person-centered assistance that moves individuals from homelessness to stable housing.

Furthermore, the City of Carson’s Public Safety Engagement Officer team collaborates with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) to conduct targeted outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness, particularly those who are unsheltered. SBCCOG has partnered with Watts Labor Community Action Committee (WLCAC), and Los Angeles Homeless Authority (LAHSA) a statewide network of service providers specializing in homelessness response. The City’s Public Safety Engagement Officer team serves as the first point of contact for unhoused individuals in Carson. Our outreach team directly engages with unsheltered individuals, building trust to assess their specific needs and connect them to essential services. For ongoing case management, we collaborate with WLCAC and LAHSA, which provide services such as housing assistance, interim housing, veterans' services, mental health care, medical services, employment support, and benefits enrollment. Through comprehensive, person-centered support, our collective goal is to help individuals transition from homelessness to stable housing and improved well-being. Through this coordinated approach, the City and its partners provide a comprehensive and person-centered response to homelessness, ensuring that individuals receive the support needed to transition into stable housing and improve their overall quality of life.

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d)

Introduction

The City will continue to maintain and coordinate services to assist individuals with special needs. Existing service providers will be supported when possible and existing funds will be prioritized and expended when appropriate and feasible.

Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs

The housing and supportive service needs of Carson’s special needs populations were identified through multiple sources, including community and stakeholder meetings, as well as responses to surveys distributed to the community and identified stakeholders.

The Community Needs Assessment Survey responses highlight affordable rental housing for seniors as the top housing priority, with 67 percent of respondents identifying it as a top three critical need. Other significant housing needs include affordable for-sale housing (with 63 percent of respondents identifying it as a top three critical need) and affordable rental housing for individuals and families with low to moderate incomes (with 40 percent of respondents identifying it as a top three critical need).

In terms of supportive services, the Community Needs Assessment Survey responses revealed that services for neglected and abused children ranked as the highest priority, with 73 percent of respondents identifying it as a top three critical need. Other key service needs include centers and services for people with disabilities (with 67 percent of respondents identifying it as a top three critical need) and domestic violence services (with 50 percent of respondents identifying it as a top three critical need).

Supportive housing for the elderly, persons with disabilities, individuals with addictions, and those living with HIV/AIDS is designed to promote independent living while providing necessary services. Individuals recovering from substance abuse may need short-term rehabilitation, counseling, or case management, whereas those with chronic conditions often require long- term assisted living, nursing care, and transportation services.

Consolidated Plan CARSON 80
2025-2029
Persons with mental or physical disabilities benefit from affordable housing paired with flexible supportive services that enable them to access and maintain stable housing. Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities may require additional resources, such as housing set-asides and specialized supportive housing programs, to ensure they have access to safe and appropriate living environments.

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

Persons returning from mental and physical health institutions may benefit from permanent supportive housing and other housing assistance programs designed to ensure long-term stability and prevent homelessness. In Los Angeles County, several agencies receive Measure H funding to provide permanent housing and support services, including the Departments of Health Services (DHS), Mental Health (DMH), Public Health (DPH), Children and Family Services (DCFS), and Public Social Services (DPSS), as well as the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA).

Permanent supportive housing is a type of permanent housing that provides long-term rental subsidies and Intensive Case Management Services (ICMS) to individuals who have experienced chronic homelessness and have disabilities, chronic medical conditions, and/or behavioral health conditions. By integrating housing with supportive services, permanent supportive housing ensures that individuals can access medical care, mental health treatment, and social services to maintain stability and independence.

Within this model, rapid rehousing programs provide time-limited rental subsidies to quickly house people who have recently become homeless and offer them services until they can gradually take on the rent themselves. Additionally, shallow subsidy programs provide a long- term rental subsidy to help people avoid homelessness or reentry into homelessness. This is a lower level of assistance, often based on a set monthly amount, unlike traditional “deep subsidies” such as those provided through permanent supportive housing or the federally- funded Housing Choice Vouchers, also called Section 8 Vouchers.

By integrating affordable housing with essential support services, these programs create a pathway to stability for individuals exiting health institutions, ensuring they have the resources needed to maintain housing, access healthcare, and reintegrate into the community.

Introduction

Carson’s strategic location within the dynamic South Bay region of Los Angeles County makes it a prime destination for businesses looking to access key markets across Southern California.

With excellent connectivity via the San Diego (405), Harbor (110), and Artesia (91) freeways, as well as proximity to world-class port and airport infrastructure, Carson offers businesses unparalleled logistical advantages. Additionally, the city benefits from a large resident workforce, stable residential neighborhoods with high homeownership rates, and potential recreational and placemaking opportunities along the Dominguez Channel. These strengths, combined with Carson’s well-established business and institutional assets, create a strong foundation for economic growth and investment.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction?

As shown in Table MA-45.01, the three sectors with the greatest number of jobs in Carson are Education and Health Care Services (25 percent of jobs), Transportation & Warehousing (10 percent of jobs), and Manufacturing (10 percent of jobs). These three sectors also employ the largest share of workers, as follows: Transportation & Warehousing (18 percent of workers), Manufacturing (17 percent of workers), and Education and Health Care Services (11 percent of workers).

In several sectors, the number of workers exceeds the number of jobs, meaning that residents employed in these sectors are commuting to other jurisdictions to work. For example, there are only 3,645 Transportation & Warehousing jobs in the City, but 8,843 workers. At the other end of the spectrum, there are more jobs than workers in the Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate sector, indicating that additional people are commuting into the City for work. Overall, there are about 48,833 workers in the City, but just about 38,277 jobs.

Consolidated Plan CARSON 89
2025-2029
As shown in Table MA-45.02, the overall unemployment rate in Carson is 6.9 percent, according to 2022 five-year ACS estimates. However, California Employment Development Department data from December 2024 indicates that the overall unemployment rate is 5.5 percent.

Unemployment is notably higher among younger workers, with a rate of 11.6 percent for those aged 16 to 24, compared to workers aged 25 to 64 (6.4 percent).

Table MA-45.04 shows the commuting patterns of the City’s workers. Most workers drive less than 30 minutes to their place of employment (60 percent). Only 9 percent of workers drive more than an hour to work. Longer commute times lead to greater transportation costs, more greenhouse gas emissions, and a range of health issues.

Educational attainment strongly correlates with labor force participation and employment rates. As shown in Table MA-45.05, of the population aged 25 to 64 years old with less than a high school diploma, 34 percent are not participating in the labor force. In contrast, only 11 percent of individuals with a bachelor’s degree or higher are not in the labor force. This data indicates that higher education levels increase the likelihood of employment.

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community.

The workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community in Carson were identified through community engagement, stakeholder meetings, survey responses, and the City's 2023 Economic Development Strategic Plan. The Community Needs Assessment Survey identified job creation and retention as the top economic development priority, with 57 percent of respondents citing it as a top three critical need. Other key workforce-related needs include employment training (with 50 percent of respondents ranking it as a top three critical need) and small business grants/loans (with 47 percent of respondents ranking it as a top three critical need).

The Economic Development Strategic Plan outlines key infrastructure improvements to support economic growth, particularly within Downtown Carson and key commercial corridors.

Infrastructure priorities include multi-modal connectivity (such as walking and bicycle paths), streetscape beautification, public transit improvements, and broadband expansion. The plan also emphasizes workforce development efforts, including partnerships with local and regional agencies to strengthen workforce training programs and a showcase workforce development program focused on construction and related industries to preserve and grow critical skill sets.

Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect

Consolidated Plan CARSON 90
2025-2029
job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.

In 2022, the City of Carson, in partnership with Los Angeles County, established the Carson Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD), which encompasses approximately 1,735 acres (14 percent of the City’s land area). The purpose of the EIFD is to generate tax increment revenue to finance critical public infrastructure improvements, affordable and workforce housing, environmental remediation, and brownfield redevelopment. The Carson EIFD is expected to play a major role in economic development by providing funding for infrastructure projects that support local businesses, attract new investment, and enhance overall economic activity.

The Economic Development Strategic Plan also outlines several initiatives that will impact workforce development and business growth. These include targeted capital improvements in Downtown Carson, a shuttle system connecting key employment and commercial hubs, and streetscape enhancements to create a more vibrant business environment. Additionally, the Plan prioritizes broadband expansion, which is critical for modern businesses and workforce training programs.

Collectively, these upcoming improvements and investments will position Carson for sustained economic growth, attracting businesses, creating jobs, and improving the community’s overall quality of life.

How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?

As shown in Table MA-45.05, the workforce data for Carson demonstrates a strong relationship between educational attainment and employment opportunities. Individuals with a bachelor’s degree show high levels of employment among those in the labor force, with 13,151 employed and 772 unemployed, indicating a strong demand for highly skilled workers. Individuals with less than a high school diploma face more limited job prospects, with 5,133 employed and 439
unemployed.

Additionally, the relationship between education and earnings is clear. As shown in Table MA-

45.07, median earnings for Carson residents aged 25 years old and above without a high school diploma are $29,936, while high school graduates earn a median income of $40,226, representing a 34 percent increase. Earnings continue to rise with higher education levels.

Those with a bachelor’s degree have median earnings of $60,614, and individuals with a

Consolidated Plan CARSON 91
2025-2029
graduate or professional degree have median earnings of $91,810. This data underscores the significant economic benefits of obtaining a high school diploma, college degree, or higher education credential.

Programs focused on upskilling and educational attainment, particularly for residents with lower education levels, may help bridge the gap between workforce skills and employment opportunities. Investments in technical training, certifications, and career pathways in growing industries and industries with a labor shortage could improve job access and economic outcomes for the workforce.

Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.

The Consolidated Plan goals are intended to improve the lives of households with low to moderate incomes. Strengthening the workforce and labor market can create more jobs and higher wages, reducing financial strain on residents with lower incomes. Several areas of the city show a need for emphasis on workforce training initiatives, based on employment and income data.

The Economic Development Strategic Plan establishes workforce training initiatives, such as improving linkages to workforce development resources and establishing a “showcase” workforce development program focused on construction and related industries. This initiative seeks to provide pathways to sustainable employment and develop critical skill sets necessary for Carson’s long-term economic prosperity.

A key workforce initiative in Carson is the Carson One-Stop Career Center, affiliated with the South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB). The center serves as a comprehensive resource for both employers and job seekers, offering customized services to support hiring, workforce development, and training needs. Services are frequently customized to meet specific business and industry employment requirements and include job information, training and job placement services, labor market information, career workshops, job and career placement assistance, and individualized assessments.

The Rapid Response Program, also offered through the Carson Career Center and SBWIB, provides critical support to employees affected by layoffs or business closures. This program offers assistance with job search services, unemployment benefits, medical insurance referrals,

Consolidated Plan CARSON 92
2025-2029
and access to community resources. In some cases, Rapid Response may also help prevent layoffs by working directly with businesses to identify potential solutions.

Additionally, workforce training is incentivized through the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), a federal program that encourages businesses to hire individuals from targeted populations, including veterans, ex-felons, SSI recipients, and high-risk youth. Employers may also benefit from cash reimbursements through On-the-Job Training (OJT) programs, which cover up to 50 percent of an employee's salary during their training period. These initiatives help bridge skill gaps and connect workers with sustainable career opportunities.

By expanding training, career development, and employer incentives, these workforce programs align with the Consolidated Plan’s goals by reducing financial hardship, increasing employment stability, and promoting long-term economic growth in Carson.

Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")

As stated previously, the four major housing problems recognized by HUD are as follows:

• Substandard Housing Unit – Lacks Complete Kitchen Facilities. A complete kitchen consists of a sink with running water, a stove or range, and a refrigerator. • S ubstandard Housing Unit – Lacks Complete Plumbing Facilities: Complete plumbing consists of hot and cold running water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or shower. • C ost Burdened Household: Monthly housing costs exceed 30 percent of monthly income. A household is severely cost burdened if their monthly housing costs exceed 50 percent of their monthly income. Note that, for renters, housing costs include contract rent and utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payments, utilities, association fees, insurance, and real estate taxes.
• O
vercrowded Household: More than one person per room. Severe overcrowding is more than 1.5 persons per room.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")

A minority concentration is defined as a census tract whose proportion of a non-white population is at least 20 percentage points higher than the area as a whole, according to HUD’s Rental Assistance Determination Minority Concentration Analysis Tool. Based on this definition, most of the city is considered a minority concentration area. Figure MA-50.03 below shows a map of the city using HUD’s Minority Concentration Analysis Tool.

Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?

These areas are adjacent to many community assets, including schools and parks, as well as grocery stores, and service providers.

Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?

Areas with high concentrations of low-income households may present an opportunity for investment through services and public facility funding. The City will continue collaborating with partner agencies to ensure cost-effective delivery of services and programs. Federal funding will be directed to those most in need.

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

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

HUD guidelines require all Consolidated Plans to include a discussion on the broadband needs of the jurisdiction and the prevalence of the digital divide, defined as the gap between households with access to computers and internet on a regular basis and those who do not. In preparing the Consolidated Plan, the City used data from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to estimate the number of households with and without internet access.

The internet is an essential communications and information tool, enabling users to benefit from the growing interconnectedness of business, education, commerce, and daily activity.

Reliable internet access is increasingly recognized as a necessity for thriving in today’s economic environment. Communities without broadband access face significant challenges in keeping pace with the rest of the country, as limited connectivity hinders their residents’ ability to access educational and entrepreneurial opportunities online. The issue is particularly pronounced in low to moderate-income areas, where economic opportunities are already limited. Research indicates a strong correlation between expanded high-speed internet access and improved educational and employment prospects, especially in small cities and rural communities.

Consolidated Plan CARSON 99
2025-2029
Figure MA-60.01 shows broadband access across Carson, where broadband is defined as service with download speeds of 25 megabits per second (Mbps) and upload speeds of 3 Mbps (25/3 Mbps). As shown in the map, significant gaps in broadband coverage are minimal.

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

As shown in Figure MA-60.03, multiple broadband providers serve Carson. Having a variety of broadband internet providers fosters competition, which often leads to improved service quality, lower prices, and greater innovation in technology. It gives consumers more choices, enabling them to select a provider that best meets their needs in terms of speed, reliability, and cost. Multiple providers can also increase network resilience, as alternative options ensure connectivity in case of service disruptions. This competitive landscape drives providers to continually enhance their offerings, ultimately benefiting both residential and business users with better overall internet services.

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

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

On [INSERT DATE], the City of Carson adopted the 2024 Hazard Mitigation Plan, which is designed to function as a roadmap for the coordination and execution of hazard mitigation policies and initiatives within the city. It describes the characteristics of hazards which threaten the community, as well as mitigation goals, strategies, and associated actions to aid the City and its community in reducing risks and minimizing damages by taking proactive steps before disaster strikes.

The Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies 17 hazards, which are shown in Table MA-65.01 below.

Table MA-65.01: Hazard Profile Descriptions
# Hazard Description
1 Drought/Water
Shortage
A drought is a deficiency of precipitation over an extended period resulting in a water shortage. (FEMA, NRI).
2 Earthquake An earthquake is a shaking of the earth's surface by energy waves emitted by slowly moving tectonic plates overcoming friction with one another underneath the earth's surface (FEMA, NRI).
3 Extreme Heat Extreme heat is a period of abnormally and uncomfortably hot and unusually humid weather typically lasting two or more days with temperatures outside the historical averages for a given area. Extreme heat is responsible for the highest number of annual deaths among all weather-related hazards (FEMA, NRI).
4 Extreme Winder
Weather (Cold)
Extreme cold is a rapid fall in temperature within 24 hours and extreme low temperatures for an extended period (FEMA, NRI). 5 Flood A flood occurs when the existing channel of a stream, river, canyon, or other watercourse cannot contain excess runoff from rainfall or snowmelt, resulting in overflow onto adjacent lands. In coastal areas, flooding may occur when high winds or tides result in a surge of seawater into areas that are above the normal high tide line. 6 Hail Hail is a form of precipitation that occurs during thunderstorms when raindrops, in extremely cold areas of the atmosphere, freeze into balls of ice before falling towards the earth's surface (FEMA, NRI).

Consolidated Plan CARSON 103
2025-2029
# Hazard Description
7 High Wind High Wind consists of damaging winds, often originating from thunderstorms, that are classified as exceeding 58 mph (FEMA, NRI). 8 Hurricane A hurricane is a tropical cyclone or localized, low-pressure weather system that has organized thunderstorms but no front (a boundary separating two air masses of different densities) and maximum sustained winds of at least 74 mph (FEMA, NRI).
9 Industrial
Pollution/Chemical
Release
When these chemicals are released into the environment leads to different forms of pollution like air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution. A chemical release is the discharge or release of hazardous liquids, gases, or solids. It can occur due to an accident, a failure or an attack involving hazardous products (EPA).
10 Landslide/Mudflow A landslide is the movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down a slope (FEMA, NRI).
11 Land
subsidence/Karst
Land subsidence is a gradual settling or sudden sinking of the Earth's surface due to removal or displacement of subsurface earth materials.

Karst is a type of landscape where the dissolving of the bedrock has created sinkholes, sinking streams, caves, springs, and other characteristic features (USGS).
12 Pandemic A pandemic is a global outbreak of disease that occurs when a new virus emerges in the human population, spreading easily in a sustained manner, and causing serious illness. An epidemic describes a smaller-scale infectious outbreak, within a region or population, that emerges at a disproportional rate. Infectious disease outbreaks may be widely dispersed geographically, impact large numbers of the population, and could arrive in waves lasting several months at a time (CDC).
13 Severe Storm/
Thunderstorm
/Lightening
Severe storms refer to any dangerous meteorological phenomena with the potential to cause damage, serious social disruption, or loss of human life such as thunderstorms and lightning. NOAA classifies a thunderstorm as a storm with lightning and thunder produced by cumulonimbus clouds, usually producing gusty winds, heavy rain, and sometimes hail. Thunderstorms are usually short in duration but can cause significant damage. Lightening is an electrical discharge that results from the built of positive and negative charges within a thunderstorm. When the buildup becomes strong enough, lightning

Consolidated Plan CARSON 104
2025-2029
# Hazard Description
appears as a “bolt.” This flash of light usually occurs within the clouds or between the clouds and the ground. (NWS).
14 Tornado A tornado is a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground and is visible only if it forms a condensation funnel made up of water droplets, dust, and debris (FEMA, NRI).
15 Tsunami and Seiche A tsunami is a wave or series of waves generated by an Earthquake, Landslide, volcanic eruption, or even a large meteor hitting the ocean and causing a rise or mounding of water at the ocean surface. A tsunami can travel across an open ocean at about 500 mph and slow down to about 30 mph as it approaches land, causing it to grow significantly in height.

A seiche is a standing wave oscillating in a body of water. Wind and atmospheric pressure can contribute to seiche events. They are usually limited to partially or fully enclosed basins (NOAA). 16 Urban Fire Urban fires are classified as “uncontrolled burning in a residence or building from natural, human or technical causes”. These fires have the potential to spread to adjoining structures. Local city and county fire departments are tasked with the response and control of urban fires.
17 Wildfire A wildfire is an unplanned fire burning in natural or wildland areas such as forests, shrub lands, grasslands, or prairies (FEMA, NRI).

Data Source: 2024 City of Carson Hazard Mitigation Plan

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

Emergencies and disasters often highlight and exacerbate existing societal inequities, affecting groups based on socioeconomic status, race, age, disability, and other social factors. These events disproportionately impact certain populations, creating additional challenges in the preparation, response, and recovery phases. For instance, the COVID-19 pandemic shed light on pre-existing disparities, such as limited healthcare access, leading to higher rates of hospitalizations and mortality among vulnerable groups. It is essential to recognize and understand these community-specific limitations and barriers to strive for equitable preparedness, mitigation, and response strategies for future incidents.

Consolidated Plan CARSON 105
2025-2029

To aid in this, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), a comprehensive tool designed for emergency management planners and practitioners at state, local, and tribal levels. The SVI helps identify communities with high social vulnerability, potentially facing greater impacts during emergencies and disasters. Figure MA-65.01 below shows the breakdown of the overall SVI Score in the City of Carson.

New Unit Production The production of new housing units is influenced by several market conditions, including the cost of land, the cost of construction, and prevailing interest rates. The cost of land and labor act as major barriers to developing any type of new construction in the City with the limited amount of funds available.

Rehabilitation Rehabilitation activities can be influenced by the cost of materials and labor. Home rehabilitation can provide an opportunity for households to maintain safe, decent, affordable housing without the cost of acquisition or production. This may help the City to maintain the availability of units that are affordable to households at a variety of income levels.

Acquisition, including preservation Rising housing costs will limit the availability of funds to be used for acquisition due to the high cost of purchasing properties.

Introduction

The table that follows depicts the CDBG resources that the City of Carson is expected to have during the 2025 to 2029 Program Years. Anticipated funding levels for the CDBG program have been difficult to predict. Over the past five program years, the City’s CDBG funding has ranged from as much as $789,832 in PY 2020 to as little as $684,225 in PY 2024. Based on that five-year downward trend, the City is anticipating only $660,108 for PY 2025.

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

While the CDBG program does not require matching funds, it serves as a critical tool for leveraging additional resources from private, local, state, and federal sources to expand the impact of funded activities. CDBG funds can be used strategically to attract and complement other investments, allowing for a more comprehensive approach to addressing community needs.

The City may pursue partnerships with state and local agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private sector stakeholders to maximize funding opportunities and provide sustainable public services, infrastructure improvements, and economic development programs.

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

The City of Carson recognizes the importance of leveraging public land to address housing and community needs and regularly reviews its real estate portfolio to assess whether properties are being utilized to their fullest potential. By evaluating its assets in alignment with housing and service priorities outlined in the Consolidated Plan, the City can create opportunities to support low- and moderate-income households, address homelessness, and expand access to essential services. In collaboration with local partners, the City will continue to explore publicly owned land as a resource to increase the supply of affordable housing and support broader community development goals.

Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System

The institutional delivery system in Carson benefits from strong interdepartmental communication and collaboration. City staff work closely with various departments, community organizations, and agencies that assist low-income individuals and families to establish priorities and effectively allocate resources. While only a few entities have formal roles in administering HUD’s entitlement programs, the City, as the lead CDBG agency, coordinates efforts with a diverse range of stakeholders, including government agencies, businesses, nonprofit organizations, service providers, and sub-recipients.

A key strength of the delivery system is the ongoing communication and coordination among these entities, ensuring that programs align with community needs and that resources are maximized. However, the most significant gap in the system remains the limited availability of funding. The level of need in the City far exceeds available resources, making it difficult to fund all high-priority projects. As a result, some critical initiatives may experience delays while the City continues to seek additional funding sources to expand its capacity to meet community needs.

Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth)

The City of Carson’s service delivery system for addressing homelessness is built on collaboration with local and regional service providers to ensure individuals and families experiencing homelessness receive the necessary support, shelter, and housing opportunities.

Through partnerships with local agencies, the City connects chronically homeless individuals,

Consolidated Plan CARSON 115
2025-2029
families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth to emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and essential supportive services.

Additionally, Carson coordinates with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), which plays a critical role in regional homeless response efforts, including data collection, resource allocation, and strategic planning. By aligning local efforts with broader regional initiatives, the City ensures a comprehensive and coordinated approach to addressing homelessness.

Through these efforts, Carson can leverage expertise, funding, and resources to create a more effective service delivery system that prioritizes long-term stability and self-sufficiency for those experiencing homelessness.

Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above

The City of Carson relies on a network of experienced agencies to deliver services to special needs populations and individuals experiencing homelessness. These organizations have a long history of providing critical support, including shelter, case management, mental health services, meals, and housing assistance. A major strength of the service delivery system is the collaboration between the City and regional partners, which allows for a more comprehensive response to the diverse needs of the population. Many service providers have established trust within the community, enabling them to effectively connect individuals to available resources.

Additionally, the City’s participation in regional initiatives, such as those led by LAHSA, strengthens access to data-driven strategies, funding opportunities, and best practices in homelessness prevention and intervention.

However, gaps remain in the service delivery system. The demand for services continues to exceed available resources, particularly as the population in need grows. Additional funding is needed to expand support for the growing population, along with improved coordination among service providers to enhance efficiency and impact.

Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs

PATH's outreach teams engage directly with unsheltered individuals, building trusting relationships to assess their specific needs and connect them to essential services. These services include housing assistance, interim housing, veterans' services, mental health care, medical services, employment support, and benefits enrollment. By providing comprehensive, person-centered support, PATH aims to help individuals transition from homelessness to stable housing and improved well-being.

Through this coordinated approach, the City and its partners provide a comprehensive and person-centered response to homelessness, ensuring that individuals receive the support needed to transition into stable housing and improve their overall quality of life.

Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons

At present, there are no emergency shelters or transitional housing facilities located in the City of Carson. Since there is an obvious need for such facilities, the City is exploring two avenues: a) outreach to a provider or providers of emergency shelters and/or transitional housing facilities who may be interested in operating such facilities within the city; or b) becoming such a provider itself. The City recently prepared and adopted amendments to its Zoning Code the accomplished the following:

• Permitting emergency shelters by tight in the ML (Manufacturing Light) and MH (Manufacturing Heavy) zones, and providing for development and operational standards;
• Identifying transitional and supportive housing as a residential use and permitting it in all residential zones, subject only to those standards /regulations that apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone; and • Permitting single-room occupancy (SRO) units in at least one zone.

Consolidated Plan CARSON 124
2025-2029
These changes will enable to City to monitor the inventory of sites appropriate to accommodate emergency, transitional, and supportive housing facilities and work with appropriate organizations to ensure that the needs of the homeless and extremely low income households are met.

As a result of participation in the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative, City staff have become aware of SB (Senate Bill) 2, a State law requiring each city or county to identify at least one zone where emergency shelters are permitted by right and treating transitional and supportive housing as residential uses of property, subject only to restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone, so one of the tasks ahead for the Carson Homelessness Task Force would be to monitor the existing planning and zoning regulations to ensure the City’s compliance with SB 2.

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

The Time-Limited Subsidy Programs within the Permanent Housing Department of LAHSA play a critical role in helping individuals and families experiencing homelessness transition to permanent housing. These programs include Rapid Re-Housing, Recovery Re-Housing, and Shallow Subsidy/Street to Subsidy, all of which provide temporary financial assistance and housing support to help households secure stable housing quickly.

Time-Limited Subsidies are a key component of the LA Continuum of Care's permanent housing portfolio, designed to assist individuals and families who do not require deeper, long-term support, such as permanent supportive housing. These programs operate under a Housing First approach, meaning they serve individuals regardless of housing barriers and incorporate trauma-informed care and harm reduction strategies to ensure accessibility and effectiveness.

By providing flexible, short-term assistance, these programs help prevent returns to homelessness and support individuals in maintaining stable housing after their initial placement.

Consolidated Plan CARSON 125
2025-2029
Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs

One of the local social service providers that has received CDBG public service funds in the past, the Office of Samoan Affairs, has incorporated a program of services to the homeless and persons at risk of becoming homeless (primarily counseling, referral to appropriate agencies, and assistance in applying for and obtaining benefits) into its multifaceted portfolio of services.

This would appear to be a prime candidate for subsequent years’ funding should the agency seek to pursue it.

Through the City’s membership in the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG), the City is participating in SBCCOG’s program of outreach to the local homeless community and referral to services. SBCCOG contracts with People Assisting the Homeless (PATH), a statewide network of agencies that provides services to the homeless, to coordinate the effort.

Additionally, the City entered into its own contract with PATH (using funding other than CDBG) for additional outreach services within Carson.

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)

Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards

Lead-based paint (LBP) regulations affect a variety of housing and community-based programs.

The process for identifying and resolving LBP issues varies depending upon the amount of assistance and the type of program affected. The most common actions that need to be taken are:
• Lead Hazard Evaluation – A risk assessment, paint testing or a combination of these to determine the presence of LBP hazards or LBP in properties built prior to 1978. • Lead Hazard Reduction – Activities designed to reduce or eliminate exposure to LBP hazards through methods including interim controls, standard treatments, or abatement.
• Clearance – An activity conducted following LBP hazard reduction activities to determine that the hazard reduction activities are complete.

As shown in Table MA-20.05, 82 percent of owner-occupied units and 74 percent of renter- occupied units in Carson were built before 1980, making them potential sources of lead-based paint exposure, as residential use of LBP was banned in 1978. Among these older units, 11 percent of owner-occupied units and 15 percent of renter-occupied units have children present in the home, a population particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards?

The actions listed above support efforts to mitigate lead poisoning and hazards by facilitating access to safer housing and reducing exposure risks for vulnerable populations. Lead-based paint (LBP) exposure is a significant health concern, particularly for young children, as it can lead to serious physical and cognitive health issues. Again, in Carson, 11 percent of owner- occupied and 15 percent of renter-occupied housing units built before 1980 have children present, putting them at higher risk of lead exposure.

How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures?

Consolidated Plan CARSON 127
2025-2029
• Considering annual programs and materials that educate residents on the health dangers of lead-based paint and encourage the screening of children for elevated blood levels;
• Including lead-based paint hazard reduction as an eligible activity in rehabilitation programs;
• Reviewing current housing and rehabilitation cases to ensure that lead-based paint hazard reduction is incorporated; and
• Promoting awareness and elimination of lead-based paint hazards among other housing providers, including local non-profit housing developers.

The City’s efforts to conform to (24 CER) Section 570.608 regarding the notification, inspection, testing, and abatement procedures concerning lead-based paint as required in the CDBG certifications have most recently included the engagement of a consultant to conduct lead hazard inspections/evaluations, paint testing, risk assessments, and final clearance inspections.

All properties served by the City’s housing rehabilitation programs undergo an initial lead hazard assessment, with subsequent actions to be determined according to the results of that assessment.

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

Reducing poverty and improving economic stability for individuals and families requires a comprehensive, multifaceted approach that integrates affordable housing, economic development, education, and workforce opportunities. The City of Carson is committed to implementing strategies that address both the immediate needs of low-income households and the long-term economic opportunities that can lift families out of poverty.

To alleviate financial burdens, the City will allocate funding to help reduce housing costs by assisting with home repairs, preserving existing affordable housing, and ensuring that residents have access to stable and safe living conditions. These efforts aim to prevent displacement and promote housing stability, which are essential to economic mobility.

A strong economic development strategy is also key to poverty reduction. Elevating income levels for individuals and families living in poverty requires a multifaceted approach that includes affordable housing, livable communities, education, and job creation.

To maximize impact, the City will allocate funding to help in reducing housing costs can help lift families out of poverty rather than simply providing temporary relief. The City aims to create and preserve both affordable rental housing and homeownership opportunities to benefit as many residents as possible.

Strengthening the City’s economic base is another critical strategy for poverty reduction. The City will implement coordinated economic development efforts focused on job creation, business retention, expansion, and attraction. Additionally, individuals and families will be supported through job training, counseling, education, and direct connections to employment opportunities. These efforts will be carried out in collaboration with public and private organizations that provide education and workforce development programs., ensuring that local businesses can thrive and provide sustainable employment opportunities. Through partnerships with workforce development agencies and educational institutions, individuals and families will have access to job training, career counseling, and education programs that enhance skill development and increase access to higher-paying jobs.

Consolidated Plan CARSON 129
2025-2029
How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan

Carson’s anti-poverty strategy is closely aligned with the goals and objectives of the overall affordable housing plan. These goals include reducing poverty, creating new and affordable housing, developing and promoting services for at-risk populations, expanding job training, and providing public and social services.

The City plans to allocate federal funding to support affordable housing initiatives, strengthen neighborhoods, and expand essential community resources. This includes partnering with public and private organizations to provide a continuum of services that address housing, job training, and supportive programs for low- and moderate-income households. By coordinating housing policies with economic development and social services, the City ensures a comprehensive approach to poverty reduction, helping residents achieve long-term financial stability and self-sufficiency while strengthening the overall community.

onitoring of Housing and Community Development Projects

Project Selection: Prior to selection of an activity for funding, the prospective subrecipient must submit an application describing the program for which it is seeking funding, the amount of funding requested, and the program’s goals/outcomes. The proposed programs are reviewed by staff to determine that they are eligible activities for CDBG funding and meet Consolidated Plan goals and objectives.

Contract Management: Each CDBG subrecipient has a written agreement with the City. The agreement specifies the program requirements, the program activity, funding amount, and the expected performance outcomes. During the program year, CDBG subrecipients are required to provide quarterly invoices and reports to the City. The quarterly report provides information about the individuals assisted and the organization’s performance in meeting its goals and objectives as provided in the subrecipient agreement, which is based upon furthering the Consolidated Plan goals and objectives. On a quarterly basis, the City reviews the invoices and

Consolidated Plan CARSON 131
2025-2029
reports to ensure that the subrecipients are spending the funds in a timely manner and meeting their performance goals.

Monitoring Compliance: In addition to the quarterly review of expenditures and performance, the City performs annual monitoring of each subrecipient following the City’s CDBG Subrecipient Monitoring Guide. The guide details the City’s monitoring goals, procedures and standards. Each subrecipient receives a monitoring questionnaire and document request list with a response deadline. The questionnaire requests information about program elements and knowledge.

Fo
llowing a checklist, staff performs an analysis of each subrecipient. The analysis exposes any possible compliance or performance issues and identifies those agencies requiring more comprehensive monitoring. Based on responses to the questionnaire and other criteria, at least one
-thi
rd of the subrecipients will be selected for more comprehensive monitoring and an on- s
ite visit.

Dur
ing the monitoring visit, staff will review information to help determine if the organization has knowledge and understanding of the CDBG regulations, documentation of the clients served and income eligibility, proper internal controls, and back-u p documentation of charges
made to the CDBG program. Within 30 days of the visit, subrecipients will receive a monitoring letter summarizing areas of improvement, findings, and/or concerns. The letter will specify any corrective actions required and include specific recommendations for improvement. The subrecipient will be given a deadline to provide a written response describing how and when the agency will resolve any findings. If a subrecipient is unable to meet the goals necessary to further the City’s plan, then the organization will not have its funding renewed.

Audit: If the subrecipient expends more than $750,000 in federal funds during the fiscal year, it is required to perform a single audit and submit a copy to the City. The audit is reviewed, and any findings are noted for follow-up.

Affordable Housing Projects

Affordable housing projects supported with federal funds (such as the CDBG program) and subject to the Consolidated Plan are monitored on a regular basis to ensure compliance with occupancy and affordability requirements. The City will perform the following monitoring functions:
• Provide project owners with new income limits and rent limits; • Review documentation of tenant income and owner compliance with rent limits;

Consolidated Plan CARSON 132
2025-2029
• Review owner rent increase requests;
• Perform Housing Quality Standards inspection and Code Compliance checks on HOME- funded rental properties in accordance with HOME regulations; and • Notify owners of any non-compliance and the necessary actions to restore compliance.

Loans

Over the years, the City has loaned CDBG funds to property owners through various community development programs to support Consolidated Plan goals, such as housing rehabilitation, commercial façade improvement, and down payment assistance programs. All of the loans administered by the City, the City will complete annual monitoring of title, taxes and insurance.

If continued owner occupancy was a requirement of the loan, then the City will collect the necessary documentation, as well. For loans administered by the City’s loan servicer, the City will regularly review the loan servicer’s monitoring activities and follow up on delinquent accounts.

Program Monitoring

At least quarterly, the City’s Community Development staff will review CDBG expenditures for the various activities to ensure that spending deadlines and individual program objectives are being met. As progress is made on the programs, accomplishment information will be entered in IDIS.

Description As part of its obligation to affirmatively further fair housing, the City of Carson offers a Fair Housing Services program, under an annual contract with the Los Angeles-based Housing Rights Center. This program is designed to combat discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, national origin, handicap, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, creed, or any other protected category. Since 2014, the City has included fair housing services within its CDBG public services allocation, rather than its administration allocation. Presently, the Housing Rights Center provides fair housing workshops for property owners, management, and tenants, education, outreach, complaint handling, and enforcement in accordance with State and Federal civil/housing rights laws. HRC's program consists of the following components: Housing Discrimination Complaint Investigation. HRC investigates housing discrimination complaints brought under both State and Federal fair housing laws. A housing discrimination complaint can be investigated through testing, the gathering of witness statements, or through research surveys. HRC resolves cases in a number of ways including conciliation, litigation or referrals.

HRC's litigation department has been very successful at winning strong judgments and settlements for its clients. Fair Housing Education and Outreach. HRC has established an effective and comprehensive outreach and education program by continuously developing and

HRC provides telephone and in-person counseling to both tenants and landlords regarding their respective rights and responsibilities under California law and local city ordinances. In addition to answering basic housing questions, counselors commonly cite specific civil codes that pertain to the client's matter and/or provide sample letters that discuss a particular issue. When a client's matter is outside the scope of HRC's services, HRC provides appropriate referral information.

Introduction

In the wake of the statewide dissolution of redevelopment agencies (which, under the California Redevelopment Law, were required to allocate 20% of the tax increment revenues they received toward affordable housing), the City of Carson created a Carson Housing Authority to carry out the remaining affordable housing obligations. In that role, the Carson Housing Authority reviews proposals from prospective housing developers and determines to what extent it will provide assistance (primarily financial) to those developers.

Despite its name, however, the Carson Housing Authority does not own or operate any public housing within the city boundaries. In Carson, the role of a “public housing authority” (PHA), as the term is commonly understood, is carried out by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA, formerly the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles, or HACoLA).

LACDA manages over 3,600 units of public housing in properties located throughout Los Angeles County (none in Carson), and also provides rental assistance to over 20,000 families within the County.

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

Introduction

As previously mentioned, the City also collaborates with LAHSA on the annual Point-in-Time (PIT) count to engage and survey individuals experiencing homelessness to provide an accurate count of the region’s unsheltered and sheltered homeless populations.

• Continued involvement by City staff in the regular monthly meetings of the South Bay Coalition to End Homelessness;
• Ongoing participation in the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative; • Continued participation in a joint program of the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) to coordinate the following activities: outreach services; a South Bay Cities homeless hotline, screenings, and coordinated entry system assessments; case management; linkages to interim housing; housing location services; outreach to local landlords; and ongoing supportive services; and Regular meetings of the City’s Homeless Task Force, which is coordinated by the Assistant City Manager and includes the Community Development, Community Services, and Public Safety Departments, as well as the County Sheriff’s Department (the law enforcement agency in Carson).

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

As noted previously, LAHSA conducts point-in-time counts on an annual basis. In the 2024 PIT Count for Service Planning Area 8 (SPA 8)—which covers the South Bay region within the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (excluding Long Beach)—there were 1,436 sheltered individuals and

Consolidated Plan CARSON 148
2025-2029
3,992 unsheltered individuals, totaling 5,428 individuals experiencing homelessness.

The City of Carson collaborates with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) to conduct targeted outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness, particularly those who are unsheltered. SBCCOG has partnered with People Assisting the Homeless (PATH), a statewide network of service providers specializing in homelessness response. PATH's outreach teams engage directly with unsheltered individuals, building trusting relationships to assess their specific needs and connect them to essential services. These services include housing assistance, interim housing, veterans' services, mental health care, medical services, employment support, and benefits enrollment. By providing comprehensive, person-centered support, PATH aims to help individuals transition from homelessness to stable housing and improved well-being.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons

At present, there are no emergency shelters or transitional housing facilities located in the city of Carson. Since there is an obvious need for such facilities, the City is exploring two avenues:
a) outreach to a provider or providers of emergency shelters and/or transitional housing facilities who may be interested in operating such facilities within the city; or b) becoming such a provider itself.

The City recently prepared and adopted amendments to its Zoning Code that accomplished the following:
• Permitting emergency shelters by right in the ML (Manufacturing Light) and MH (Manufacturing Heavy) zones, and providing for development and operational standards;
• Identifying transitional and supportive housing as a residential use and permitting it in all residential zones, subject only to those standards /regulations that apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone; and • Permitting single-room occupancy (SRO) units in at least one zone.

These changes will enable to City to monitor the inventory of sites appropriate to accommodate emergency, transitional, and supportive housing facilities and work with appropriate organizations to ensure that the needs of the homeless and extremely low income households are met.

As a result of participation in the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative, City staff has become aware of SB (Senate Bill) 2, a State law requiring each city or county to identify at least one zone

Consolidated Plan CARSON 149
2025-2029
where emergency shelters are permitted by right and treating transitional and supportive housing as residential uses of property, subject only to restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone, so one of the tasks ahead for the Carson Homelessness Task Force would be to monitor the existing planning and zoning regulations to ensure the City’s compliance with SB 2.

Time-Limited Subsidies are a key component of the LA Continuum of Care's permanent housing portfolio, designed to assist individuals and families who do not require deeper, long-term support, such as Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). These programs operate under a Housing First approach, meaning they serve individuals regardless of housing barriers and incorporate trauma-informed care and harm reduction strategies to ensure accessibility and effectiveness.

By providing flexible, short-term assistance, these programs help prevent returns to homelessness and support individuals in maintaining stable housing after their initial placement.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs

One of the local social service providers that has received CDBG public service funds in the past,

2025-2029
the Office of Samoan Affairs, has incorporated a program of services to the homeless and persons at risk of becoming homeless (primarily counseling, referral to appropriate agencies, and assistance in applying for and obtaining benefits) into its multifaceted portfolio of services.

Additionally, the City entered into its own contract with PATH (using funding other than CDBG) for additional outreach services within Carson.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)

Introduction

Both market and governmental factors can pose constraints to the provision of adequate and affordable housing. Two of the greatest barriers to affordable housing continue to be cost and supply. As demonstrated in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, there is a great need for affordable housing in Carson. The City of Carson will continue to remove any barriers to affordable housing possible through the implementation of the Housing Element in compliance with State law, and by reducing development and cost constraints to developing housing when possible. Additionally, the City will continue to leverage available funding sources to support the development and preservation of affordable housing.

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

The City of Carson does experience barriers to affordable housing as identified in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, including governmental constraints, market conditions, lack of funding sources, and land and construction costs. Many of the barriers are not controlled by the City, such as land and construction costs and state/federal constraints.

The City of Carson initiated an update of its Housing Element in 2022. The City will follow up on any governmental constraints to housing development that are identified in the Housing Element, including appropriate amendments to the Zoning Code.

The City continues to pursue the following strategies:

• Employ several policies to provide greater flexibility in site planning and promote more intense development. The City continuously monitors available sites that may be appropriate for residential uses. A density floor is a tool that can be used to promote maximum land use, establishing a minimum density within a given residential land use designation. The availability of developable acreage in upper density ranges allows for the development of certain types of housing.
• Continue considering alternate forms of development, including small-lot, single-family subdivisions; mobile home parks that allow owner-occupied spaces; senior citizen developments offering various types of care and assistance; mixed use

Consolidated Plan CARSON 152
2025-2029
residential/office/commercial developments; and planned unit developments (the latter being a form long in existence in the city, and the mixed-use residential/office/commercial model is seen to an increasing degree, for example, along Carson Street and Avalon Boulevard).
• To encourage developers to pursue low- and moderate-income housing projects, California provides regulatory tools to govern approval processes, permitting greater density for affordable housing projects that include additional development incentives.

The City employs a Density Bonus Ordinance to encourage developers to develop a portion of an otherwise market-rate product as affordable for low and moderate incomes, in order to meet the State-mandated affordable housing responsibilities. • Monitor all housing built prior to 1980 for lead-based paint and other hazardous or unsafe housing issues.
• Continue monitoring low- to moderate-income housing developments that have existing affordability controls for their risk of conversion to market rate. • Continue offering financial assistance to households that cannot qualify for conventional home improvement loans, in order to encourage and support the preservation of the affordable housing stock.
• Continue efforts to combat blighted and substandard housing through a combination of tools including enforcement, citation, and referral to the City’s housing rehabilitation programs.
• Continue, through the Carson Housing Authority, assisting the development of affordable multi-family housing.
• Encourage the development of mixed-use projects, including the development of specific plans that require housing as a key component of those developments. • Implement a 2012 Zoning Code amendment to facilitate development of housing for persons with disabilities. Housing opportunities for persons with disabilities can be addressed by the provision of affordable, barrier-free housing. Rehabilitation assistance can be targeted toward disabled renters and homeowners for necessary unit modifications.
• Seek State and Federal funds in support of housing construction and rehabilitation targeted toward persons with developmental disabilities. Also, provide regulatory incentives, such as expedited permit processing and fee waivers/deferrals, to projects targeted toward such persons. To further facilitate the development of housing units to accommodate persons with these disabilities, reach out annually to developers of supportive housing to encourage development of projects targeted toward special

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)

Introduction

This section discusses the City’s underserved needs and institutional structure for delivering housing and community development activities, as identified in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.

The most pressing underserved need in the community is affordable housing. Additionally, there is a significant need for housing and support services for populations with special needs, including seniors, large families, single-parent households, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and those with mental, physical, or emotional disabilities.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs

Limited resource availability remains one of the greatest challenges in addressing the needs of underserved populations. To maximize impact, the City prioritizes collaboration and leveraging of funds, working with governmental agencies, nonprofits, businesses, and other entities to coordinate the provision of services in Carson.

Many residents face economic hardship due to barriers such as unemployment, underemployment, limited education, and lack of job skills training. Other contributing factors include low wages, a shortage of affordable childcare, and a lack of nearby affordable housing options, all of which make it difficult for lower-income households and single parents to enter or remain in the workforce. To help address employability and job training challenges, the City partners with the South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB), a local Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) consortium that provides job placement, training, and workforce development services.

Transportation access also remains a significant obstacle, particularly for residents who rely on public transit for employment, education, and essential services. The City operates the Carson Circuit bus system, which coordinates with multiple regional transit providers, including the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), Long Beach Transit, Compton Renaissance Transit, Torrance Transit, and Gardena Municipal Bus Lines. These efforts help

Consolidated Plan CARSON 155
2025-2029
improve mobility and expand economic opportunities for Carson residents.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing

As noted in the Projects section of this Annual Action Plan, over one-third of the proposed allocation of the City’s CDBG funds will be directed toward a major housing rehabilitation program aimed at maintaining and preserving the supply of affordable housing units in the city, the Neighborhood Pride Program.

In response to the State action eliminating local redevelopment agencies, the City of Carson created a Carson Housing Authority (CHA), which is assuming the housing programs of the former Carson Redevelopment Agency. The principal activities of the CHA are:
• Continuing rental assistance payments to two affordable multi-tenant residential developments (Avalon Courtyard, 92 units located at 22127 South Avalon Boulevard, and Carson Terrace Senior Apartments, 62 units located at 632 East 219th Street). • Monitoring Carson’s existing affordable housing projects for compliance with terms of their development agreements. Most of these projects were made possible by Redevelopment Agency loans.
• Seeing projects to completion, such as projects at 2525 East Carson Street and 21227- 21237 South Figueroa Street.
• Moving projects with existing development agreements forward to completion. This includes the soon-to-be completed Veterans Village at Carson (51 units at the corner of Carson and Figueroa Streets) and Carson Arts Colony (46 units at 21205 South Main Street).
• With any remaining funds, the CHA will form or assist new projects on other sites.

At present, the CHA’s functions do not include the operation of public housing (such as the Federally-assisted Section 8 program). That role within the boundaries of the city will continue to be carried out by the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA), a division of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA).

The City will also continue to seek new HOME Investment Partnership Program funding.

Though not an entitlement community for HOME, the City has in the past obtained HOME funding through the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), and is currently (until July 2020) utilizing a $500,000 HOME grant from HCD with which it is operating a housing rehabilitation program targeted toward low- and very low-income

Consolidated Plan CARSON 156
2025-2029
homeowners.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards

The City realizes that lead-based paint poses a serious health hazard and therefore must be addressed. The City is attempting to minimize the incidence of lead paint poisoning by implementing the following:
• Ensuring that home improvement programs initiated by the City or non-profit providers identify and eliminate lead-based paint hazards;
• Considering annual programs and materials that educate residents on the health dangers of lead-based paint and encourage the screening of children for elevated blood levels;
• Including lead-based paint hazard reduction as an eligible activity in rehabilitation programs;
• Reviewing current housing and rehabilitation cases to ensure that lead-based paint hazard reduction is incorporated; and
• Promoting awareness and elimination of lead-based paint hazards among other housing providers, including local non-profit housing developers.

The City’s efforts to conform to (24 CFR) Section 570.608 regarding the notification, inspection, testing, and abatement procedures concerning lead-based paint as required in the CDBG certifications have most recently included the engagement of a consultant to conduct lead hazard inspections/evaluations, paint testing, risk assessments, and final clearance inspections.

All properties served by the City’s housing rehabilitation programs undergo an initial lead hazard assessment, with subsequent actions to be determined according to the results of that assessment.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families

Consolidated Plan CARSON 157
2025-2029
housing policies with economic development and social services, the City ensures a comprehensive approach to poverty reduction, helping residents achieve long-term financial stability and self-sufficiency while strengthening the overall community.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure

The City of Carson Community Development Department will ensure the effective administration of HUD entitlement grants and oversee the implementation of activities outlined in the Annual Action Plan. The department will continue to enhance operational efficiencies through improved coordination, technical assistance, and oversight of housing and community development programs.

The City will maintain ongoing collaboration with other municipal departments, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and private sector partners to facilitate the provision of housing, public services, and infrastructure improvements. The Community Development Department works closely with external agencies such as the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA) to ensure that low-income residents have access to safe and stable housing. Through strong interagency coordination, the City will continue to administer CDBG and other funding programs while seeking opportunities to enhance service delivery.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies

The City of Carson is committed to strengthening coordination between public and private housing providers and social service agencies to ensure the efficient delivery of housing and support services for residents in need. The City relies on a network of nonprofit social service organizations to provide essential services and collaborates with affordable housing developers to implement its housing goals.

To enhance coordination, the City will continue engaging with public agencies, housing providers, and service organizations throughout the year to plan and maximize the use of available resources. Regular communication will be maintained to facilitate the review and endorsement of funding applications, discuss opportunities for cooperative initiatives, and ensure that service providers and housing developers work together effectively. The City has historically allocated up to 15% of its annual CDBG funding for social services, reinforcing its

Consolidated Plan CARSON 158
2025-2029
commitment to supporting vulnerable populations.

Housing developments serving specific populations will also play a role in strengthening service coordination by informing residents about available local services and ensuring that service agencies are aware of upcoming housing opportunities during the project approval process.

2 Introduction

The City of Carson (City) receives an annual entitlement of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for housing and community development activities to assist people with low to moderate incomes. In accordance with HUD requirements, the City must create a Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan) that addresses affordable housing and community development needs, submit an Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) to outline spending and activities for the upcoming program year, and provide a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) that summarizes the City’s accomplishments and use of CDBG funds in the previous program year.

Pursuant to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 24 CFR 91.105, the City must have and follow a detailed Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) that sets forth the City’s policies and procedures for community participation, solicitation of views, and recommendations from members of the community and other interested parties; a consideration of the views and recommendations received; and a process for incorporating such views and recommendations into decisions and outcomes related to CDBG funds.

This Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) serves to meet the federal requirements described above concurrently.

Participation Policies

The City actively encourages public involvement in development of its plans and reports. Community participation is crucial at every stage of the planning process, including identifying needs, setting priorities based on those needs, recommending activities to address high-priority needs, and evaluating the effectiveness of the programs and activities.

In addition to public input, the City welcomes comments from organizations serving Carson’s ethnically and culturally diverse communities, including residents with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) or who speak English as a Second Language (ESL). The City also seeks input from organizations support people with disabilities. These groups play a key role in helping to disseminate information about community meetings, public notices, programs details, and requests for proposals for program services.

The public will be given the maximum feasible opportunity to participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, CAPER (Plan(s)) and substantial amendments to these Plans. The City will do the following in the development and implementation of the Plans:

• Encourage participation from residents.

• Encourage the involvement of persons with low to moderate incomes, particularly those living in the low- to moderate-income communities where funds are 3 proposed to be used, and communities with planned revitalization.

• Encourage the involvement of residents of affordable, permanent supportive, and public housing.

• Encourage the involvement of persons with disabilities; racial and ethnic minorities; and persons who are non-English speaking and/or have LEP.

• Encourage participation from organizations and businesses that support people with low to moderate incomes, such as the local Continuum of Care (CoC) developers, public health agencies, adjacent local governments, nonprofit organizations, philanthropic organizations, community-based and faith-based organizations, public housing agencies, resident advisory boards, resident councils, and/or resident management corporations.

• Provide residents reasonable and timely access to information, meetings, and records.

• Provide residents the opportunity to review and offer input and feedback regarding the use of CDBG, fair housing efforts, and the CAPER.

• Assist persons who are non-English speaking and/or persons with LEP upon advanced request, provided such services are available.

• Use comprehensive techniques to encourage and measure public participation and review program performance.

Additional efforts to be taken by the City to encourage public participation can be found in the “Development of Plans” section of this CPP.

Citywide Advisory Commission

City Ordinance 08-1399, adopted on February 6, 2008, designates the Citywide Advisory Commission (Commission) to serve in an advisory role to the City Council, staff, and City consultants on matters concerning the evaluation of community-wide issues related to CDBG funding, census activities, and special funding requests.

The Commission is responsible for contributing to the development of needs data and recommending priorities among identified needs, assisting in the refinement of both long- and short-term community development objectives, and discussing preferences among specific program options.

Additionally, the Commission reviews and provides feedback on community development strategies, facilitates citizen participation requirements in federally funded programs in accordance with Title 24 CFR Section 91.105 as directed by the City Council (which includes conducting public hearings), and serves as a platform for exchanging information and receiving input from the City Council and local citizens regarding the CDBG program, census activities, and special funding requests.

4 Development of Plans

As an entitlement jurisdiction, the City is required to prepare the following documents:

• Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan);

• Annual Action Plan (Action Plan);

• Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER); and

• Citizen Participation Plan (CPP).

The City will make a concerted effort to notify residents, social service providers, business groups, nonprofit organizations, community and faith-based organizations, community boards and other interested parties of the development of the Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, and CAPER through public noticing, such as electronic mail, online postings, and newspaper notices.

The City will issue a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) and/or Request for Proposals (RFP) inviting proposals for CDBG activities. Upon request, the City will provide technical assistance to established organizations representing persons with extremely low to moderate income to develop proposals for eligible activities.

City staff will review annual grant proposals and make recommendations to the Carson City Council (City Council) concerning federal funding. City Council meetings are open to the public and available for viewing on the City’s website.

The City’s annual program year begins July 1 and concludes on the succeeding June 30 th. Every year, the City will prepare the Action Plan, which may contain a list of projects to be funded for the given program year with any additional funding received.

During each program year, additional funding may become available due to program income or projects that are under budget, delayed, or cancelled. A list of capital improvement projects may also be included in the Action Plan and approved by the City Council to serve as back-up projects. The City may initiate these projects at any time when funding becomes available. The City must receive HUD approval for these back- up projects along with the approved and funded projects as part of its approval of the Action Plan. Initiation and funding of these projects would not constitute a substantial amendment as defined within.

Prior to adoption of the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan, the City will make available the estimated amount of CDBG funding that it expects to receive, the activities that may be undertaken, the estimated amount of funds that will be used to benefit persons with low to moderate incomes, and any activities that may result in displacement.

To further encourage public participation, the City will publish public notices summarizing the proposed Consolidated Plan and/or Action Plan. Notices will be published in the local newspaper and on the City’s website. These notices will be 5 published at least ten (10) days before the scheduled public hearing. Each notice will include a summary of the Plan(s), outlining its content and purpose, a list of locations where the full Plan(s) can be reviewed, and details of the public hearing, including the date, time, and location.

The draft Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan will be made available for public review at least 30 days prior to final adoption. The public may access the draft plans on the City’s website and at the below locations. In addition, any amendments to the Consolidated Plan or Action Plan, as well as the CAPER, will also be made available for public review at the same locations.
