We are also working closely with the Parks team to identify and confirm ideal camera placements at parks undergoing construction and updates. This collaboration ensures that new security measures are thoughtfully aligned with planned improvements and park layouts.

Our team continues to evaluate system performance and incorporate advanced monitoring technologies to strengthen overall safety. These enhancements are part of our broader commitment to creating a secure environment for all Carson residents, visitors, and employees.

Recent initiatives have included public education on safety measures, community outreach events, and empowering local leaders through informational meetings. These efforts aim to equip residents with the knowledge and resources they need to stay safe, prepare for emergencies, and contribute to a more connected and secure community.

Project Name Enhancing Traffic Safety: Analysis of Accident Reduction and LPR Camera Deployment
Service Provider Motorola Solutions
Summary The consultant will supply the city with the most up-to-date version of the L-Series Rapidly Deployable Solar Powered Camera. This camera system, known as an Automatic License Plate Recognition (LPR) camera, will assist the City, in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, in capturing essential investigative information and enhancing the safety of its residents. These cameras will be strategically positioned in specific locations throughout the city, including public rights of way and entrances to city facilities.

The LPR system will collect comprehensive vehicle data, including make, model, color, and speed, both during daytime and nighttime conditions. The City's Public Safety department is working in partnership with LASD and Public Works to decrease traffic accidents within the city. Staff members have created data maps, and the Traffic Engineering Division will assess these maps to identify any recurring patterns and make infrastructure adjustments as necessary.

Update ALPR trailers have been deployed to the following locations:

Location #1: S/B Central Ave/ University Dr
Location #2: N/B Santa Fe Ave/ Madison
Location #3: S/B Wilmington Ave
Location #4: N/B Avalon Blvd/ Front of El Fresco shopping There is a dedicated effort to ensure the safety of children during school drop-off and pick-up times. This is achieved by providing daily school parking enforcement at schools throughout Carson. Two officers are assigned each day to offer both education and enforcement at the schools.

Project Name Upgrading Radio Systems Project
Service Provider Mission Critical Information Systems
Summary In 2021, the City Council granted approval for the 'Radio Upgrade Project,' which allocated funds for the procurement of radios, radio equipment, batteries, and chargers necessary for transitioning the City from its UHF radio system to the Los Angeles Regional Interoperability Communication System (LA-RICS).

Subsequently, the City Council sanctioned a contract with Mission Critical Information Systems to oversee the installation and programming, thus marking the successful completion of Phase 2 of the project. In September 2022, the City of Carson formalized a Hold Harmless Agreement with LA-RICS, granting the city the privilege of utilizing the platform.

Update We’re pleased to share that all radio installations have been successfully completed across multiple departments, significantly enhancing communication capabilities citywide. The distribution of Motorola APX4500 mobile radios is complete, supporting improved coordination and reliability throughout city operations. Radios continue to undergo flashing and maintenance as needed to ensure peak performance.

The final phase of the project involves completing mobile radio installations for the new Public Works fleet, following the successful rollout for the Public Safety fleet.

Project Name Basement/Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Upgrade Project Service Provider Westberg + White, GM Interiors, Johnson Controls Summary The project is currently in its planning phase. Initially, the project scope only covered the upgrade of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). However, during the planning phase, it became evident that the Public Safety, Information Technology, and Emergency Services sectors could also derive substantial benefits from the upgrade. As a result, the revised scope of work encompasses upgrades for all four areas.

Update Renovation work remains on track and is progressing steadily toward completion by the end of June. Carpeting and doors have been successfully installed, and we’re now in the final stretch. Furniture delivery and final setup are underway. We’re excited to see the space coming together and will continue to share updates as we approach project closeout.

Project Name Organizational Resilience: Internal Emergency Management Training Service Provider Westward Disaster
Summary The city is responsible for the operation and management of its Emergency Operations Center (EOC), with the aim of enhancing preparedness, response, and recovery capabilities for emergencies and large-scale events. The consultant will furnish subject matter experts and instructors to aid in the creation and execution of a tailored EOC training program for city department staff.

Update Our Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Awareness Course took place on April 18th and received overall positive feedback. The course was a success and brings our city and leadership one step closer to being prepared for the next emergency.

Next, Westward and the City of Carson will be working on the upcoming EOC role- specific training.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, June 3, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 20. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Roobik Galoosian, Risk Manager  Subject: CONSIDER RENEWAL OF EXCESS LIABILITY, EXCESS WORKERS COMPENSATION, CYBERLIABILITY, ALL-RISK PROPERTY, AUTO PHYSICAL DAMAGE, INLAND MARINE (CONTRACTOR EQUIPMENT),EARTHQUAKE, VOLUNTEER ACCIDENT, AIRCRAFT (DRONE), CRIME, STORAGE TANK LIABILITY,FIDUCIARY LIABILITY, SPECIAL EVENT LIABILITY, AND TRANSIT LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICIES FOR FY2025/26 (CITY COUNCIL).

I. SUMMARY
Presented for City Council’s consideration is the annual renewal of the following insurance policies: 1) Excess Liability; 2) Excess Workers’ Compensation; 3) Property insurance; 4) Auto Physical Damage; 5) Earthquake; 6) Cyber Liability; 7) Volunteer Accident Insurance; 8) Drone Insurance; 9) Crime Insurance; 10) Storage Tank Liability; 11) Fiduciary Liability; 12) Equipment Insurance; 13) Special Event Liability; and 14) Transit Liability Insurance for FY 2025/26 at an overall cost of not-to-exceed  $2,878,561.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM) to renew the City's Cyber Liability, Excess Liability, and Excess Worker’s Compensation insurance policies for FY 2025/26, and to pay the FY 2024/25 workers compensation audit premium at an overall cost of not-to-exceed $2,281,905.

2. APPROVE the City's insurance broker, Alliant Insurance Services, to renew All Risk Property, Auto Physical Damage, Inland Marine (Contractor Equipment), Parametric Earthquake, Crime, Fiduciary Liability, Aircraft (Drone) Liability,  Storage Tank Liability, Special Event Liability and Volunteer Accident insurance policies for FY 2025/26 with incumbent carriers or other insurance companies that provide the best terms and pricing, at an overall cost of not-to-exceed $486,656.

3. APPROVE California Transit Indemnity Pool (CalTIP) to renew the City’s Transit Liability Insurance for the FY 2025/26 term at a premium of not-to-exceed $110,000.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. DO NOT APPROVE the policies. If Council chooses not to approve, critical insurance coverages including general liability, auto liability, workers compensation, employment practices liability, cyber liability and property coverages for the city will be uninsured and the City will have 100% exposure for all claims including prior unreported employment claims and catastrophic events. This will also impact the City's ability to fulfill its contractual requirements.

2. TAKE any other action the City Council deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
The City's broker of record, Alliant Insurance Services, solicits quotations for renewals. The recommended options are the best coverage and price combination available in the marketplace.  Premiums that are placed and invoiced by Alliant (including Cyber Liability) flow through Alliant to the respective carriers and have no impact on Alliant's contract fees.  Excess Liability and Excess Workers Compensation policies are invoiced and paid directly to PRISM. Transit Liability insurance is invoiced and paid directly to CalTIP.

Key premium increases for Excess Liability and Excess Workers Compensation are due to higher exposures (30.9% higher payroll), loss experience surcharge (claim payments versus paid premiums - currently 6%), and market conditions.  Other premium increases are mainly due to market conditions.

Staff recommends renewing the Excess Liability, Excess Worker’s Compensation and Cyber Liability Insurance policies effective 7/1/2025 - 7/1/2026 with incumbent, PRISM, at an overall annual premium of not- to-exceed $2,281,905.

Staff further recommends renewing the following insurance policies through Alliant with either the incumbent carriers, or other carriers that offer favorable terms and pricing, at an overall cost of not-to-exceed $486,656:

All Risk Property Insurance (APIP). Incumbent carrier: Alliant Program.

Auto Physical Damage. Insurance (AMVP). Incumbent carrier: Alliant Program.

Parametric Earthquake. Incumbent carrier: Fortega Insurance, et. al.

Volunteer Accident Insurance.  Incumbent carrier: Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company.

Drone Insurance. Incumbent carrier: Global Aerospace Insurance Company.

Crime Insurance (ACIP).  Incumbent carrier: Alliant Program.

Storage Tank Liability Insurance. Incumbent carrier: ACE American Insurance Company.

Fiduciary Liability Insurance. Incumbent carrier: Hudson Insurance Company.

Inland Marine (Contractors Equipment) with Travelers Insurance Company.

Special Event Liability Insurance. Incumbent carrier: Evanston Insurance Company.

Transit Liability Insurance – staff recommend renewing the coverage through California Transit Indemnity Pool (CalTIP) at an overall not-to-exceed cost of $110,000.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for the insurance renewals are included in FY 2025/26 general fund budget in accounts 101-50-660- 172-6028, 101-50-660-172-6030, 101-50-660-172-6031, 101-50-660-173-6029, 101-50-660-173-6030.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Duane Cobb, Housing Analyst CM/Housing CMO Housing & Neighborhood Subject: CONSIDER AN UPDATE ON ALLOCATION OF FUNDS FOR THE 2025-2029 HOUSING ANDURBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD) FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN, 2025-2029 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTBLOCK GRANT (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. ALLOCATE CDBG funding for FY 2025/26 (Planning Year 2025).

2. 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.

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

4. 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.

HUD will allocate the City $693,996.00 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.  Based on the allocation, $138,799.20 will be allotted to Administration; $451,097.40 to Capital Improvement; and $104,099.40 to Public Services. (please see Exhibit #3, 2025-2026 CDBG Proposed Summary Table).

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 were then subjected to a HUD-mandated 30-day public review and comment period which began on March 19, 2025, and concluded on April 21, 2025. The Public hearing was closed on May 6, 2025 during Council open session
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, $104,099.40 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 9, 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 9, 2025 all interested parties were invited to submit descriptive program proposals and a required city application. All completed proposals and applications needed to be received no later than 12:00 P.M. on Wednesday, April 9, 2025.

Additional Public Service Requests FY 2025/26
Carson Hope Community Church has requested $16,000.00
Staff is recommending meeting the requested amounts for Boys & Girls Club of Carson and Venice Family Clinic.

If it is the Council’s pleasure, staff would like to recommend selecting the Housing Rights Center (HRC) as the Fair Housing provider for Public Service FY 2025/26. This recommendation is based on HRC’s expanded availability of in-person walk-in clinics, ensuring greater accessibility for Carson constituents who prefer direct, face-to-face assistance over online consultations. Additionally, HRC offers in-house legal services, enhanced referral resources, and dedicated staff support for both tenants and property owners, providing a higher level of comprehensive fair housing assistance. Carson Hope Community Church is ineligible for CDBG funding per HUD regulations.

All recommendations are based on the Public Services allotment from HUD. The actual HUD allocation ($693,996.00) varied from the estimate ($660,108.00). Staff's recommendations have been adjusted proportionately, subject to the 15% cap.

The 2025 - 2029 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 Public Service Allocations) details Public Service requests and recommended allocations.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed action would allocate the FY 2025-2026 grant of $693,996.00.

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 three 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 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 participatio n 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.

Consolidated Plan CARSON 7
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 accept ed 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.

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.

Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(l))

The City collaborates with neighboring jurisdictions and the County of Los Angeles to address housing and community development priorities. Coordination with the County is particularly important, as it administers programs like the Section 8 rental assistance voucher program for the City and neighboring jurisdictions. Additionally, the City works with local partners and stakeholders to leverage State resources to address shared priorities and maximize the impact of available funding and resources.

1. Summary of citizen particip ation 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.

2025-2029
public notice provided information about the 30-day public comment period from March 19 to April 21, 2025. No public comments were received during the hearing on March 18, 2025. The draft Consolidated Plan and FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan were available on the City website and in a hard copy format at City Hall during the 30-day public comment period. No public comments were received during the 30-day public review period. A second 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 meeting on May 6, 2025, at which the Consolidated Plan was approved. No public comments were received during the hearing on May 6, 2025. All public comments received during both hearings and during the public comment period are included in Appendix G of the Consolidated Plan. Copies of the public notices are included in Appendix H.

The findings from these outreach activities helped shape the priority needs in the Consolidated Plan.

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-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.

Consolidated Plan CARSON 19
2025-2029

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.

Tables NA-10.14 and NA-10.15 show the changes in the number of households with complete and incomplete plumbing and kitchen facilities from 2017 to 2022. As mentioned above, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, a housing unit is classified as lacking complete plumbing facilities when any of the following are not present: piped hot and cold water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or shower. Likewise, a unit is categorized as lacking complete kitchen facilities when any of the following are not present: a sink with piped hot and cold water, a range/cooktop and oven, and a refrigerator.

Tables NA-10.16 and NA-10.17 compare the number of households in Carson experiencing cost burden in 2017 and 2021. 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:

Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness

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.

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.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d)

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 Disabilities

Table NA-45.01 presents disability rates by age, based on 2022 five-year ACS estimates. As shown, the disability rate was 13 percent citywide. As expected, the disability rate increases with age, reaching 52 percent among individuals aged 75 and older.

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

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

housing. These households are the most likely to be living in units that do not fully meet their needs.

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. Other key housing priorities included affordable for-sale housing (with 63 percent of respondents ranking it as one of the top three critical needs), and affordable rental housing for individuals and families with low to moderate incomes (with 40 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.

Discussion

Housing costs in Carson remain out of reach for many households with low to moderate incomes, as reflected in the high proportion facing cost burdens and other housing challenges.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction

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.

Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment

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 this 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.

Figure MA-45.01: Median Income and Employment by Industry

Data Source: 2018-2022 ACS [Table S2413]

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.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
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.  Substandard Housing Unit – Lacks Complete Plumbing Facilities: Complete plumbing consists of hot and cold running water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or shower.  Cost 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.
 Overcrowded 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.

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.

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.

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, violentl y 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).

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 inequities affecting individuals earning low to moderate incomes. 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.

New Unit Production The production of new ho using 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.

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. Subsequently, the City has been allocated $693,996.00 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 114
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

The City will continue collaborating with nearby jurisdictions, nonprofit and faith-based organizations, and LAHSA to coordinate resources and develop strategies to address service

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)

Barriers to Affordable Housing

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. 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.

Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing

The City of Carson updated 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 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

Consolidated Plan CARSON 121
2025-2029
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.  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 needs groups.

2025-2029
SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)

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

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.

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 123
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 124
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?

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;

Consolidated Plan CARSON 126
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 128
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.

SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230

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

The City’s Community Development Department is responsible for ensuring that the receipt and expenditure of HUD funds complies with program requirements through the monitoring of program performance. Careful evaluation of the housing and public service delivery system can be the most effective tool in detecting gaps and making appropriate modifications. Carson will follow monitoring procedures identified in the City’s Subrecipient Monitoring Plan. Other procedures will include in-house review of progress reports and expenditures, and on-site visits to ensure compliance with federal regulations. The monitoring system will encourage uniform reporting to achieve consistent information on beneficiaries. Monitoring will also aim at resolving any program or accounting findings or other problems that may keep an organization from meeting its contractual obligations. Technical assistance will be provided where necessary.

Furthermore, project and financial data on CDBG-funded activities will be maintained using HUD’s Integrated Disbursement Information System (IDIS). Use of this system allows HUD staff easy access to local data for review and progress evaluation.

Monitoring 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 130
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.

Following 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-third of the subrecipients will be selected for more comprehensive monitoring and an on- site visit.

During 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-up 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 131
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.

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 will utilize Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds to support affordable housing initiatives, ensuring that CDBG-funded programs align with and enhance broader housing efforts. Additionally, 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.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs

The Department of Community Development considered all public comments submitted during the public hearing and will take into account additional feedback received during the public review and comment period. These allocation priorities were developed through the public participation process to ensure they align with the community’s most pressing needs. The projects selected reflect the recommendations adopted by the City Council at its meeting on May 6, 2025, based on community input, local data, and strategic planning efforts.

The allocation of CDBG funding is closely tied to the City’s local objectives, focusing on areas where the greatest impact can be made. However, limited resource availability remains the

Consolidated Plan CARSON 137
2025-2029
biggest obstacle to fully addressing the needs of underserved populations. To maximize the effectiveness of available funds, the City has and will continue to collaborate with government agencies, nonprofits, businesses, and other stakeholders to coordinate service provision and enhance program delivery. Strengthening these partnerships will help bridge resource gaps, improve service accessibility, and ensure that CDBG funds are used efficiently to support Carson’s most vulnerable communities.

Funding CDBG, $460,219.80
Description The Neighborhood Pride Program (NPP) is designed to assist low- and moderate-income owners of single-family detached dwellings and mobile homes with the preservation of decent, safe, and sanitary housing. The NPP corrects hazardous structural conditions, makes improvements considered necessary to eliminate blight, promotes healthy, sustainable, and resource-efficient housing, improves disabled access, and corrects building and health and safety code violations. As such, the program addresses two of the major priority needs in the City's Five-Year Consolidated Plan; provide decent affordable housing; and maintain and promote neighborhood preservation. Program funds may be used to complete approved and required housing rehabilitation activities and to address lead-based paint hazards. Eligible items include roofing, driveway replacement, exterior painting, stucco work, correction of faulty plumbing and heating, replacement of deteriorated stairs, hazardous wiring repairs, and security lighting The NPP provides financial assistance in the form of loans or grants to eligible households whose income does not exceed 80% of area median income, adjusted for household size. The program provides grants of up to 30,000 for single-family detached dwellings, and up to $20,000 for mobile homes. For single-family homes, amounts over $30,000 up to $50,000 are eligible for a loan at 3% simple interest. A participating household may receive a loan or a grant, but not both. This allocation includes funding for inspection services related to the rehabilitation projects and for lead and asbestos testing and abatement services (both handled by contract).

Fair housing
Funding CDBG, $34,977.00
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 distributing written materials that describe the applicable laws that

Consolidated Plan CARSON 140
2025-2029
protect against housing discrimination and ways to prevent housing injustices. Tenant and Landlord Counseling. 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. These referrals include, but are not limited to local housing authorities, health, and building and safety departments, legal assistance agencies, and other social service providers.

Target Date 6/30/2026

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
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.

Introduction

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.

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 147
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 148
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.

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 (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,

Consolidated Plan CARSON 149
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.

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.

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 151
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.  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 needs groups.

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.

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 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,

Consolidated Plan CARSON 153
2025-2029
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 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

Consolidated Plan CARSON 154
2025-2029
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

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.

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

Consolidated Plan CARSON 155
2025-2029
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 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 communities, including organizations serving residents with disabilities. A list of organizations that may be included in outreach efforts can be found in Appendices A and B.

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 proposed to be used, and communities with planned revitalization.

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

• Encourage the involvement of residents with disabilities; racial and ethnic minorities; and residents who speak English as a second language.

• 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.

• Provide reasonable accommodations and translation services upon 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.

CITY OF CARSON

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY

Introduction

This policy was developed to formalize the City Treasurer’s intent to implement prudent investment practices and to serve the public’s best interest regarding investment management and fiscal operations and accountability. Revisions to this policy shall be executed when needed through compliance to federal or state mandates and annual review and adoption at a regular meeting by the City Council.

I. Policy Statement

The City of Carson in addition to the Carson Successor Agency and Carson Housing Authority, hereafter referred to as “the City”, through the adoption of this policy shall invest public funds in a manner that will provide maximum security of the principal invested while meeting the cash flow needs of the City. There is a subordinate emphasis on providing the highest yield (return) on the principal. Further, the City will conform to all applicable Federal, State, and City statues governing the investment of public funds.

II. Maintain The Public Trust

All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust. Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation.

The overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust.

III. Delegation of Authority

The City Treasurer is the designated investment officer of the city and is responsible for investment management decision and activities. The City Treasurer shall designate a staff person as a liaison/deputy in the event circumstances require timely action and the city Treasurer is not present. No deputy/liaison may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of the policy and procedures established by the City Treasurer and approved by the City Council.

IV. Investment Philosophy and Prudence

The standard of prudence to be used in the investment function shall be the “Prudent Investor Standard” and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. Securities shall generally be held until maturity, with the following exceptions:

• A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal. • Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold. • Liquidity a security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio.

Prudent Investor Standard: When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.” In consideration of an investment, the safety of the capital as well as income is part of the “prudent person” approach. Investment officers acting in accordance with the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsib ility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

V. Scope

The scope of this investment policy applies to all financial assets and funds held by the City.

The City Treasurer is authorized to invest the City’s funds as prescribe by California Government Code section 53600. These funds are defined in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and include:

 General Revenue Funds
 Special Revenue Funds
 Carson Successor Agency Funds
 Carson Housing Authority Funds

VI. Objectives

The investment policy and practices of the City Treasurer for the City of Carson are based upon State law and prudent money management. The primary objectives of this policy are in priority order:

SAFETY OF PRINCIPAL: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the city. The investment of funds shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To achieve this goal, diversification is required in the portfolio’s composition. The investment portfolio will be diversified to avoid unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types and individual financial institutions. With diversification, failure of any one institution would not unduly harm the City’s cash flow.

LIQUIDITY: The investment portfolio shall be structured to match expected cash flow needs. City investment s must be able to be easily sold with minimal risk of loss of principal or interest. Therefore, the City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the city to meet operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.

YIELD: Return on investment becomes a consideration after the basic requirements of investment safety and liquidity are achieved . The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a benchmark rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles commensurate with the City’s investment risk constraints and the cash flow of the portfolio. The City’s investment portfolio is designed to operate on a general “buy and hold” premise.

VII. Authorized Investments and Suitable Investments

It is the policy of the City to diversify its investment portfolio. Invested funds shall be diversified to minimize the risk of loss resulting from over concentration of assets in a specific maturity, specific issuer, or specific class of securities. As part of the Treasurer’s diversification strategy, investments will be matched with anticipated cash flow requirements.

Investment of City funds is governed by the
California Government Code Sections 53600 seq. Within the context of the limitations, the following investments are authorized as further limited herein:

A clearly marked evidence of ownership (safekeeping receipt) must be supplied to the city and retained.
