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

1. Introduction
Each year, the City of Chino participates (as an entitlement jurisdiction) in the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). This program is administered by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and provides funding for a variety of different community development, housing, and public service activities. Regulations governing the CDBG program require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet s one of the following three broad national objectives: 1) Benefit people with low - and moderate -incomes; 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; 3) Meet an urgent need (such as earthquake, flood, or hurricane relief). According to HUD's Consolidated Plan Final Rule, the overall goal of community planning and development programs is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing (DH), a suitable living environment (SL), and expanding economic opportunities (EO) principally for low - and moderate-income persons. In addition to meeting one of the General Objective Categories above, HUD requires that project activities funded with entitlement funds also meet one of the following General Outcome Categories: Availability/Accessibility (1), Affordability (2), or Sustainability (3). Each activity funded will thus have a combination of the Objective and Outcome Category listed in the description (i.e. DH -2 would be Decent Housing that is Affordable), which allows for measuring accomplishments for each of the Consolidated Plan's five years.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

During development of the FY 2020 -2025 Consolidated Plan, which forms the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the Strategic Plan and five subsequent Annual Action Plans required by HUD, the following Priority Needs, Program Activities, and related Objectives/Outcomes were established:

SL-(1) Availability/Accessibility for the Purpose of Creating a Suitable Living Environment: Public Services- Senior Services, Battered and Abused Spouses, Fair Housing Activities, Tenant/Landlord Counseling, Child Care, Abused and Neglected Children, Mental Health, Homeless Services, an d Other Services.

SL-(3) Sustainability for the Purpose of Creating a Suitable Living Environment: Code Enforcement, Public Services- Graffiti Removal, Infrastructure - Sidewalk Installation/Improvements, Infrastructure - Street Lighting, Public Facility Improvements, and the Business Property Enhancement Program.

DH-(3) Sustainability for the Purpose of Creating Decent Housing: Owner Housing- Home Improvement Grant Program.

EO-(1) Availability/Accessibility for the Purpose of Creating Economic Opportunity Businesses and Business Property Enhancement.

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.

During the last Consolidated Plan Cycle and annual Action Plan, the City was able to use CDBG funds to accomplish the following:
• Provide Home Improvement Grants to rehabilitate owner-occupied housing units • Address the needs of homeless families with children, homeless individuals, and chronically homeless persons
• Address the decline of deteriorated and deteriorating areas through Code Enforcement activities in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods
• Support infrastructure improvement funding
• Support public service funding for a variety of special needs groups including single parents, elderly, victims of domestic violence, and those at-risk of homelessness All of these projects and experiences have helped guide the city in choosing the goals and projects for the current Consolidated Plan Cycle. As such, the City will be continuing the priorities and projects from the last plan, as there is still an unmet need due to the limited amount of grant funds received each year.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
CDBG funds support the Home Improvement Healthy Homes Grant Program. To supplement this Federal funding, the City has obtained CalHOME funds from the State, and also utilizes local Affordable Housing Funds for Home Improvement Grants and Loan. The City continues to seek this funding and other potential funding sources as leverage. The CDBG Program does not require a match. Although the HOME Program requires a match, the City does not receive funding from the federal entitlement HOME program.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
For FY 2024-2025, CDBG funds have been allocated to projects that contribute to achieving the priority needs and goals established by the 5-Year Strategic Plan. The projects are consistent with the citizen input received during the development of the Consolidated Plan. One of the greatest challenges in meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income persons is having limited financial resources. The City will continue to use CDBG funding to support public service agencies that address the special needs of the underserved, including the elderly and frail elderly and persons belonging to protected classes that have been the victims of housing discrimination. The City also proactively seeks additional resources to better meet the underserved needs.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The City of Chino does not have a Housing Authority. The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino owns the 50 public housing units located in the City.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino has prepared a five -year Strategic Plan and an Annual Plan. The Plans guide the actions of the Housing Authority in addressing the needs of extremely low and very- low-income families and include goals to increase the supply of affordable housing, promote self-sufficiency and asset development, ensure equal opportunity and affirmatively further fair housing, and in achieving consistency with each jurisdiction’s Consolidated Plan. The City will continue to monitor the Housing Authority’s Plans and provide input as it pertains to Chino residents in an effort to increase the supply of affordable housing.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino's Community Development Initiatives Department connects residents and participants to services and activities that encourage self-sufficiency and supports a mission of enhancing the quality of life. The Career and Technology Centers (Public Computer Centers) offer free access to high -speed internet and staff to help individuals search for employment, build resumes, and access other resources.

The Community Development Initiatives Department strives to provide a supportive environment for individuals to access local services and resources and help them achieve self- sufficiency. Housing Authority staff helps interested participants find an appro priate mortgage lender and works with the participant through the process of buying a home. In order to qualify to participate in the Homeownership Assistance Program, a person must:
• Reside in San Bernardino County for at least 1 year before applying to the program. • Participate at least 1-year in the Housing Choice Voucher Program or Public Housing Program. • Be in good standing with the Housing Authority.
• Have no previous homeownership history within the past 3 years. • Must be currently employed full time for at least 2 years earning more than $14,500 a year (2000 hours at Federal minimum wage). This requirement does not apply to disabled or elderly (62 years or older) participants.
• Be credit worthy to secure their own mortgage financing through a lender, including no outstanding collection accounts, judgments or liens and at least 2 years since the discharge of a bankruptcy.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
In order to effectively address homelessness in a comprehensive manner, HUD asks cities to form Continuums of Care. A Continuum of Care refers to an overall plan to coordinate the efforts of all involved parties to meet the needs of homeless persons and persons at ri sk of homelessness. The components of a continuum include:
• Homeless prevention
• Emergency shelter
• Transitional shelter
• Permanent supportive housing
• Supportive services
The overall objective is to move homeless persons and families outside the service delivery system into emergency housing, then to transitional housing, and finally to self- sufficiency or permanent supportive housing.

One of the methods used by the City of Chino to address homelessness is to support the County of San Bernardino’s comprehensive strategy to address homelessness. This strategy is comprised of activities to address the following three priorities:
• Emergency and transitional housing
• Persons at risk of becoming homeless
• Persons in transition from homelessness to permanent housing 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
Outreach assistance is a component of the City’s strategy to prevent homelessness by individuals and families who are at risk of homelessness. The City has 8 case managers who will provide referral services, follow-up, and ongoing support for clients at n o charge. Outreach is promoted at various community and promotional events. City staff also assist children in the Chino Valley Unified School District who have been identified as homeless, as determined by McKinney -Vento, by assisting them with minim izing educational disruptions. City staff distributes care packages to the identified students and also provide referrals to mental or physical health agencies and follow up on the progress of the students.

Annual Action Plan
2024
41 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2024)
The City recognizes the importance of awareness and outreach to reduce the risk of homelessness in our community. To aid in this effort, a Quality -of-Life Team and two Homeless Outreach Coordinators have recently been implemented as a new component of the City’s strategy to assist individuals/families who are most at risk. The Quality-of-Life Team and Outreach Coordinators is a collaborative effort between the City of Chino Police Department, non -profit and faith -based organizations, case management staff, and medical/mental health facilities. As Chino Police Officers or Outreach Coordinators encounter homeless individuals, this team intervenes quickly by arranging for emergency shelter, providing medical or mental health resources, counseling, and other intervention needed to enable a holistic approach to meet the needs of this special population. The City also collaborates with faith-based groups, nonprofits, business, and community members to effectively address and reduce the homeless population. The team will provide homeless prevention activities to individuals and families at -risk of homelessness. The Outreach Coordinators will provide consistent and intensive case management services to individuals living on the streets. Assisting these most vulnerable and service resistant individuals will result in direct savings to city facilities and staff, law enforcement, paramedics/ fire, business and improve the overall quality of life for the City of Chino.

Goals and actions over the next year include: the enhancement of the Homeless Outreach Team’s community involvement, and increased promotion and education to staff about the sensitivity and growing concerns revolving around the homeless population, organized Outreach Clinics fostering relationships with community partners that provide comprehensive resources related to physical/mental health, transitional and affordable housing, employment, education, social services and case management.

In addition to the new efforts of our Homeless Outreach Team as described above, City staff will continue to assist Chino Valley Unified School District students as identified as homeless by McKinney -Vento, by working to minimize educational disruptions an d providing care packages, family emergency hotel vouchers, rental deposit assistance and utility payment assistance and in obtaining transitional and affordable housing through City programs and partnerships with County and local housing agencies, referrals to mental or physical health agencies, job resources, and case management. High school students are also provided assistance in completing job applications, obtaining work permits, writing resumes, and interviewing techniques to aid in securing employment. These efforts aim to educate our youth and low- income families to aid in homelessness prevention.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Twenty-eight (28) is Chino’s most recent count of unsheltered homeless persons according to the San Bernardino County 2023 Homeless Count and Subpopulation Survey: Final Report, January 2023. Per the Report, six (6) steps that the San Bernardino County Continuum of Care should take to help end homelessness, which are aligned with the County of San Bernardino 10 -Year Strategy to End Homelessness and are also aligned with several evidence -based and best practices that have helped

achieve unprecedented decreases in the total number of homeless persons, particularly among families, chronic -homeless persons, and veterans, across the country since 2005 include:

1. Encourage each city to adopt their unsheltered homeless count numbers as baseline numbers

2. Completely align with a Housing First model and low-barrier approach for chronically homeless individuals and families

3. Completely align with a rapid rehousing and low -barrier approach for non chronically homeless individuals and families.

4. Align the current homeless services delivery system with a goal of ending homelessness among unaccompanied women by 2025.

5. Increase the Number of Permanent Supportive Housing Units.

6. Increase Rapid Rehousing Assistance
The City will continue to coordinate with County efforts to end homelessness.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the peri od of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City recently adopted zoning provisions to facilitate the development of transitional and supportive housing. The City supports the efforts of the San Bernardino County Interagency Council on Homelessness to help individuals make the transition to perm anent housing and independent living. Additionally, the City supports new strategies such as the Housing First Model and Rapid Re -housing to house homeless persons.

Community Services staff (Case Managers/Supervisors) attend meetings at the Office of Homeless Services. The City has partnered with a few organizations to address the city’s homeless issues. The Police Department has formed a (Quality of Life Team) whic h Community Services Homeless Outreach Coordinators and PD approach the homeless on the street and counsel them and provide them with resources for assistance. Community Services staff also partners with the Chino Unified School District (HOPE Program) to provide services needed to homeless students. Community Services staff also attend meetings with San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership Provider Network. City staff has formed a Homeless Subcommittee with faith-based groups to address the homeless i ssues in the city and provide assistance.

All the above information is available on the city website and counter staff at City Hall has handouts for anyone that comes into City Hall to inquire.

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.

Rental assistance is a component of the City’s strategy to prevent homelessness by individuals and families who are at risk of homelessness. The City administers a Rental Security Deposit, Rental Payment and Utility Payment Assistance Program to assist res idents in jeopardy of losing their housing or loss of utility service. Among this group are extremely low- income renters who are spending more than 50% of their income on housing costs. Also, among the people who are threatened with homelessness are the persons and families on the Section 8 waiting list. During the Program year, the City continued to support the HACSB Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) rental assistance program. In addition, the City encouraged the HACSB’s landlord outreach efforts in Chino.

In addition, the City’s fair housing provider assisted homeowners in jeopardy of losing their housing. They mediated landlord/tenant complaints and worked with the tenant in formulating a plan, such as a rent repayment plan, and mediated with the landlord in accepting the terms so that the tenant was not evicted.

The City of Chino does not receive funding from Federal sources that require the implementation of supportive housing programs for persons returning from mental and physical health institutions.

California law requires hospitals/regional hospital associations to have protocols for homeless patients.

The Hospital Association of Southern California, National Health Foundation, and Illumination Foundation's Recuperative Care Program must provide post -hospital healthcare services to homeless patients moving from acute care. Services include housing location assistance, residential medical and social support.

The San Bernardino County 10 -Year Strategy to End Homelessness recommends the formalizing of discharge planning protocols and improved coordination among the different agencies with discharge responsibilities.

Discussion
The City’s priority is to assist families with children who are at -risk of becoming homeless. The specific annual objective is to assist 1,200 people/families through the Chino Neighborhood House Food Assistance Program and Inland Valley HOPE Partners. Add itionally, approximately 55 people will be assisted by the House of Ruth, particularly victims of domestic violence, many of which are homeless.

There are no obstacles to providing these funds and reaching the objectives as the City has provided

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
To reduce lead in existing housing, and in order to prevent possible exposure to lead in City rehabilitation projects, Chino will adhere to HUD guidelines for lead -safe work practices in all rehabilitation and minor home repair projects funded with CDBG an d/or non -federal funds. Whenever the City is involved in rehabilitation work, the City will provide notification, conduct a lead inspection for units constructed prior to 1978, will hire qualified contractors to do lead hazard reduction, and will issue a final report on the work. The City also adheres to the State lead-based paint (LBP) regulations.

Additionally, the City educates the public on the hazards of lead -based paint as part of the Home Improvement Grant process.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families In order to contribute to a reduction of poverty income level families, the City will carry out the following anti-poverty actions in coordination with its affordable housing plan:
• The City will continue to support the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and public housing units located within the community.

• The City will work with the Housing Authority of San Bernardino County to encourage families receiving Section 8 rental assistance and living in public housing units to participate and graduate from the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS).
• The City will periodically request information from the Housing Authority on FSS participation and graduation levels.
• The City will provide funding for childcare services. Access to childcare is a policy that contributes to helping the working poor to make ends meet and avoid poverty.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The Development Services Department will continue to maintain and strengthen the existing structure for the delivery of programs and services funded by CDBG. The Department will coordinate with the departments responsible for administering a CDBG- funded activity: Development Services, Community Services, and Public Works as well as the public service agencies.
