CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JUNE 17, 2025
TITLE: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) 2025 -30 CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND 2025-26 ONE-YEAR ACTION PLAN.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
In accordance with HUD regulations, the City is required to prepare and submit a CDBG Consolidated Plan every five years. This plan directs the utilization of CDBG funds and includes a One-Year Action Plan for FY 2025-26 that outlines projects recommended for funding that are consistent with the needs and priorities identified in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan.

In preparing the Five -Year Consolidated Plan and accompanying One -Year Actio n Plan, the following efforts were undertaken:

1. On January 27, 2025, the Community Services Parks and Recreation Commission (Commission) received presentations from non -profit public service providers, followed by a comprehensive review of applicant project s by a selected sub-committee. The sub- committee prioritized and ranked the projects and made preliminary funding recommendations. Each program was evaluated based on need, eligibility, and consistency with the needs assessment included within the Consolidated Plan.

2. On February 10 and 20, 2025, community meetings were held at the Neighborhood Activity Center. These meetings fulfilled requirements outlined in the City’s adopted CDBG Citizen Participation Plan. Community members, including residents, non -profit organizations, local government agencies, businesses and private developers were notified of the meetings in advance through public notices in the newspaper, flyers, social media, and email distribution providing ample opportunity for interested parties to provide valuable input and express any community needs or perceived gaps in services.

3. On February 24, 2025, following the comprehensive review of CDBG applicants, the sub-committee presented preliminary funding recommendations to the Commission. The Commission evaluated the recommendations and took appropriate action to forward the recommendations attached to the City Council agenda (Exhibit 1) for consideration.

In addition to public service applications, Capital Improvement Project (CIP) applications were received and reviewed by staff using the same criteria as the public service projects. Funding recommendations are also displayed in Exhibit 1.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The primary objective of the CDBG program is “the development of viable urban communit ies by providing adequate housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate -income.” The One -Year Action Plan details the programs and projects to be funded with the City’s 2025-26 CDBG allocation.

Evaluation criteria included the following:
• Meets HUD’s national objectives and eligibility requirements. • Consistent with the Needs Assessment; and
• Minimizes any duplication of service.

Exhibit 1 details the public services projects recommended for funding by the Commission and include corresponding proposed funding amounts with a minimum amount of $10,000. The allocation for public service programs is $87,789 which accounts for 15% of the total CDBG allocation, as established by HUD regulations. Additionally, Exhibit I presents staff's recommendation for projects to be funded under the CIP category in the amount of $270,419. 443

Each program year, HUD reviews the City’s accomplishments and utilization of funds from the prior year through the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

Major subject areas in the CAPER include a narrative that states financial resources, the number of households and persons assisted, and an assessment of annual performance. The CAPER asses ses programs for low- and moderate -income families, economic development initiatives, social services programs, and various public improvement projects.

The public hearing being held during this City Council meeting meets HUD’s Citizen Participation requir ements for adopting the Five -Year Consolidated Plan and the One -Year Action Plan. A 30 -day public review period began on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, and ended on Thursday, May 1, 2025. This period allowed community members to submit written input on the Five-Year and One-Year Plans. No comments were received during the public comment period.

After final adoption, the Five -Year Consolidated Plan and the One -Year Action Plan will be submitted to HUD for review and approval.

In closing, the Commission respectfully presents its funding recommendations to the City Council. These recommendations have been thoroughly evaluated based on HUD requirements, alignment with the needs assessment, the potential for duplicating services, and the funding amounts available.

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

1. Introduction
The Consolidated Plan is a five-year planning document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be submitted by all participating jurisdictions that receive HUD formula entitlement grant funds. The City of Chino receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds annually. The Consolidated Plan is designed to hel p participating jurisdictions analyze their housing, community, and economic development needs so that they can effectively utilize the grant funds allocated each year by HUD. CDBG was created through the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to d evelop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low - and moderate - income. CDBG regulations require that at least 70 percent of all CDBG funds are used to benefit low- and moderate-income residents who are members of households that earn less than 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).

As an entitlement jurisdiction, the City must submit the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, as required by HUD, by the due date of “no less than 45 days prior to the start of the grantee's program year start date”. As Chino’s fiscal year begins July 1st, this me ans the Consolidated Plan and each subsequent Annual Action Plan is due to HUD on or around May 15th each year.

2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview
The Consolidated Plan contains a Needs Assessment and Market Analysis that provides insight into the different levels of need within the community and the market in which grant -funded programs will be implemented. The Needs Assessment incorporates national data from the American Community Survey (ACS) 5 -Year Estimates and Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, in addition to specific local data. Based on this data and input from citizen participation, the Strategic Plan identifies the City’s priority needs, including the rationale for establishing allocation priorities and specific measurable goals to be addressed during the five-year period. Regulations governing the CDBG program require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet one of the following three broad national objectives: 1) Benefit people with low - and moderate -income; 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; 3) Meet an urgent need (such as earthquake, flood, or hurricane relief). Additionally, activ ities funded must also meet one of HUD’s eligible use categories.

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, a suitable 450

Consolidated Plan CHINO 2

living environment, and expanding economic opportunities principally for low - and moderate -income persons as follows:
• Decent Housing (DH): includes assisting homeless persons to obtain appropriate housing and assisting persons at risk of becoming homeless; retention of the affordable housing stock; and increasing the availability of permanent housing in standard condition and affordable cost to low- income and moderate -income families, particularly to members of disadvantaged minorities, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. Decent housing also in cludes increasing the supply of supportive housing, which combines structural features and services needed to enable persons with special needs, including persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, to live with dignity and independence; and providing housing affordable to low-income persons accessible to job opportunities. • A Suitable Living Environment (SL): includes improving the safety and livability of neighborhoods; increasing access to quality public and private facilities and services; reducing the isolation of income groups within a community or geographical area through the spatial de-concentration of housing opportunities for persons of lower -income and the revitalization of deteriorating or deteriorated neighborhoods; restoring and preserving properties of special historic, architectural, or aesthetic value; and conservation of energy resources. • Expanded Economic Opportunities (EO): includes job creation and retention; establishment, stabilization, and expansion of small businesses (including micro -businesses); the provision of public services concerned with employment; the provision of jobs involved in carrying out activities under programs covered by this plan to low -income persons living in areas affected by those programs and activities; availability of mortgage financing for low -income persons at reasonable rates using nondiscriminatory lendin g practices; access to capital and credit for development activities that promote the long -term economic and social viability of the community; and empowerment and self -sufficiency opportunities for low -income persons to reduce generational poverty in federally assisted and public housing.

Outcomes and Priority Needs Established
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 Sustai nability (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 of accomplishments for each of the Consolidated Plan's five years.

During the development of the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the following priorities were established as a High Priority Need, with the required Objective and Outcome Category listed in parenthesis, and the programs to be funded/implemented are noted by bullet point:
451

Consolidated Plan CHINO 3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Priority 1 - Affordable Housing (DH -2) [High Need]: Promote, preserve, and assist in the development of affordable housing for low - and moderate -income residents, special needs groups, those at-risk of homelessness, and disproportionately impacted residents. • Priority 2: Community Facilities and Infrastructure (SL -1) [High Need]: Improve and expand facilities and infrastructure that serve low- and moderate-income neighborhoods and residents. • Priority 3: Public Services (SL -1) [High Need]: Provide and improve access to public services for low- and moderate-income persons and those with special needs, as well as prevent and eliminate homelessness.
• Priority 4: Community Preservation Services (SL-3) [High Need]: Provide for the preservation of low- and moderate-income neighborhoods in the target areas. • Priority 5: Economic Development (EO -1) [Moderate Need]: Provide for the economic development needs of low- and moderate-income persons and neighborhood target areas. • Priority 6 - Administration and Planning (SL -1) [High Need]: Provide for administration and planning activities to develop housing and community development strategies and programs needed to carry out actions that address identified needs in the Consolidated Plan in accordance with HUD regulations and provide Fair Housing services for all residents.

3. Evaluation of past performance
The City’s CDBG funded programs undertaken over the last two Consolidated Plan Cycles have aided in solving neighborhood and community problems by providing a funding source for underserved needs.

Specifically, the Public Improvement Projects have given low-income neighborhoods an improved street infrastructure system; public services have helped the City's elderly, youth, homeless, at -risk, victims of domestic violence, and other special needs groups; residents have benefitted from Fair Housing and Tenant/Landlord Counseling Services; residents have been provided affordable housing through construction of new housing units and down payment assistance; the housing stock has been sustained through rehabilitation of housing units/lead-based paint testing and abatement, and code enforcement; and supportive services have been provided to homeless persons/families and/or those at risk of becoming homeless.

All of these projects and experiences therein have helped guide the City in choosing the goals and projects for the new 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.

It is anticipated that funding received in the next five years will not be sufficient to complete the entire remaining infrastructure projects needed within the low - and moderate-income areas identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Moreover, affordable housing, public services, fair housing, and administration are still High priority needs in the community and will therefore receive continued funding.

As Economic Development is a Medium level priority that has somewhat more restrictive regulations attached to it, it will be included in the Consolidated Plan, but may not be funded with CDBG funds during this cycle. Instead, the City will seek to fund that activity with leverag ed resources and will evaluate funding with CDBG should funds become available.

4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process A Community Development Needs Survey was made available online through the City’s website from February 1, 2025, through February 28, 2025. There was a total of 52 respondents. The survey was available in English and Spanish and responses were evenly spread across each council district; 15 percent of the responses were from seniors and 4 percent were from disabled residents. The priority needs and programs established were as follows:
• Affordable Housing Needs: First-time Homebuyer Assistance received the most responses at 42%, followed by Housing Rehabilitation (46% for owner and 42% for rental). • Community Facilities Needs: Parks and Recreational Facilities received the most responses at 58% followed by Community Centers at 37%.
• Economic Development and Job Creation Needs: Business assistance grants and loans received the highest number of responses at 52% followed by Job Creation & Retention 42%. • Residential/Public Infrastructure Needs: Water/sewer systems received the most responses at 52% followed by Streets/Alleys at 46%.
• Community Preservation Services: Graffiti removal received the most responses at 62% followed by Neighborhood Cleanups at 58%.
• Community/Public Service Needs: Anti-crime services received the highest number of responses at 65% followed by Homeless Prevention Assistance and Homeless Intervention at 50% each.

The City also conducted a fair housing survey during the same time period that resulted in 35 responses.

Of these, 82 percent had not experienced housing discrimination. Those who did reported 5 incidents with landlords/property managers, one with a real estate agent, one with city staff, and one with another party. Two incidents occurred at an apartment complex, two at a house, and one was marked as not applicable. Discriminatory biases included race, gender, marital status, age, familial status, income source, and disability. Many didn’t report the incidents due to uncertainty about where to report, perceived difficulty, or disbelief it would help. Nine respondents witnessed discriminatory advertising, and six knew someone who had faced discrimination. Sev enty-seven respondents felt that access to schools, public transport, jobs, crime, insurance, and healthcare affected fair housing choice. Of the respondents, 77 percent were homeowners, and of the remaining renters 75 percent had roommates, with 17 percen t being denied a lease. All respondents had reliable broadband access. When asked about improving outreach, 82 percent of respondents favored social media as a communication method.

The full survey results for each can be found in Appendix E.

1. Introduction
The City of Chino seeks the input of residents, city departments, non -profit organizations, program beneficiaries and service providers required to create strategic, development plans for the city's needs for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan period.

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)).

In preparing the FY 2025 -2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan and FY 2025 -2026 One-Year Action Plan, the City incorporated the information contained in the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment. This included a wide range of service providers who were contacted t o compile information on community needs.

Agencies representing persons with HIV/AIDS, homeless persons, low -income youth, persons with disabilities, elderly persons, and persons with alcohol/substance abuse problems were contacted.

Specifically, the City of Chino's consultation efforts included contacting the following agencies:
• City of Chino Development Services Department
• Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board
• Chino Neighborhood House
• House of Ruth
• City of Chino Human Services Department
• Family Services Association
• Neighborhood Partnership Housing Services
• Inland Valley HOPE Partners
• Public Works Graffiti Abatement
• Code Enforcement Department
The city will continue to consult with the aforementioned agencies to address the public service needs of the community throughout the next five years. Staff will participate on local and regional boards on issues related to the Homeless. Tables 2 and 3 further detail the City's consultation efforts.

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 San Bernardino County's leading authority addressing the region's homeless population in the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP). SBCHP is composed of non -profit organizations, 458

educational institutions, community and faith -based organizations, private industry, federal, state, and local governments. The purpose of SBCHP is to promote a strong collaboration across agencies to strategize and execute the County's 10 - Year Strategy t o end chronic homelessness. The County of San Bernardino Office of Homeless Services (OHS), on behalf of SBCHP, submits applications to HUD for federal Continuum of Care (CoC) assistance to administer essential services to aid the homeless population in the County of San Bernardino. The City coordinates by attending multiple mandatory meetings as follows:
• West End Regional Committee-Once a month in Rancho
• West-end Regional Committee Follow ups-every other Thursday • Homeless Coalition meeting & San Bernardino City/County Continuum of Care (CoC Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH) and the Homeless Provider Network (HPN) -every 2 weeks • Probation Homeless meeting: once a month

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan identifies the City’s needs as they relate to housing, homelessness, community development, and special needs populations. The housing needs assessment section evaluates household income, tenure (renter or owner), housing cost as a function of household income, disproportionate needs amongst racial and ethnic groups, and public hous ing needs. The homeless needs assessment examines the sheltered and unsheltered homeless population in San Bernardino County to inform the City’s strategy to address homelessness during the next five years. The non-homeless special needs assessment section evaluates the needs of people who are not homeless, but due to various reasons are in need of services including but not limited to: elderly, frail elderly, severely mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence. The non-housing community development needs assessment section discusses the need for public facilities, public infrastructure improvements, and public services to benefit low- and moderate-income residents.

From this Needs Assessment, the City will identify those needs with the highest priority, which will form the basis for the Strategic Plan and the programs and projects to be administered during the five -year Consolidated Plan for FY 2025 -2029. Information contained in the assessment is gathered through data analysis, consultations, and citizen participation. To assess community needs, the City examined data, held community meetings, conducted a Community Needs Survey, and consulted with local stakeholders.

The Needs Assessment primarily relies on the following sources of data:
• American Community Survey (ACS)(2016-2020 current year estimates) • Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS data 2016-2020) • 2024 Point- in- Time Homeless Count
• The California Association of Realtors (CAR) website was accessed to obtain information on current market trends and affordability
• The Housing Element and Development Codes were reviewed to provide insight on zoning and land use policies and units at risk of conversion
• Previous Consolidated Plans and other Community Strategic Plans were used to provide supporting data on demographics, City programs, needs, and strategies • Various data requests were sent to County level staff from the Department of Health Services and Housing Authority

NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
The following section describes the estimated housing needs projected for the next five -year period for the following categories of persons: extremely low -income, low-income, moderate-income, and middle- income families, renters and owners, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, including persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, single persons, large families, public housing residents, victims of domestic violence, families on the public housing and section 8 tenant -based waiting list, and discuss spec ific housing problems, including: cost burden, severe cost -burden, substandard housing, and overcrowding (especially large families).

To the extent that any racial or ethnic group has a disproportionately greater need for any income category in comparison to the needs of that category as a whole, an assessment of that specific need is completed. Disproportionately greater need exists when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group is at least ten percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in the category as a whole.

Table 5 below illustrates percent change for population, households, and median income since the last Census.

Demographics Base Year: 2009 Most Recent Year: 2020 % Change Population 82,210 89,170 8%
Households 20,150 23,060 14%

Data Source: 2000 Census (Base Year), 2016-2020 ACS (Most Recent Year)

Population Change
According to the CHAS data, there has been an eight percent change in population over the last five years and a 14 percent increase in the number of households, with an 18 percent increase in median income.

According to the City’s Housing Element, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) estimates that from 2020 to 2040 the City is expected to see a significant increase in population (39.7 percent) outpacing neighboring jurisdictions such as Chino Hills, Rancho Cucamonga, and Ontario in growth in the next twenty years.

Consolidated Plan CHINO 25
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Racial and Ethnic Composition
According to the ACS racial and ethnic composition data for both the City of Chino and the County of San Bernardino are similar, with over half of the population identifying as Hispanic or Latino representing; 52 percent in Chino and 53 percent in the Coun ty. Most of the City’s population identified as White (49 percent) with the next largest population identifying as Some Other Race (23.5 percent). Additionally, 13 percent identified as Asian, 7 percent identified as two or more races, and 6.2 percent identified as Black.

American Indian and Native Alaskan population and the Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander population were under one percent in the County and in the City.

These figures indicate that Chino is a diverse community, with no single racial or ethnic group comprising a majority of the population. Racial and ethnic composition within cities is important to understand and analyze the different needs and implications for housing in communities. It is common for different racial and ethnic groups to have different household characteristics, income levels, and cultural backgrounds, which may affect their housing needs, housing choice and housing types. Cultural influenc es may reflect preference for a specific type of housing. Ethnicity can also correlate with other characteristics such as location choices, mobility, and income.

In the maps below , Figure 1 shows low- and moderate-income areas by income level category; Figure 2 shows the ethnic concentration areas; and Figure 3 shows Access to Transit and Affordable Housing in relation to areas of low- and moderate-income and racial/ethnic concentration. 474

Households by Type and Income
Table 6 above illustrates the number of different household types in the City for different levels of income.

Small Family Households consist of 2-4 family members, while large family households have more than 5 persons per household. Household characteristics of a community are important indica tors of both current and future housing needs. According to the data, the following are characteristics of the household types in Chino:
• Small Families make up half of households representing 11,925 households (52 percent). • Large families represent 17 percent of the households with 3,805 households. • An additional 5,954 households contained one or more elderly (person 62 -74 years of age) and 2,030 contained one or more frail elderly (person 75 years of age or older). This indicates that approximately 35 percent of households contain an elderly person. • Approximately 3,739 households have one or more children under age six, representing about 19 percent of the total households.
• Approximately 7,985 households (35 percent) earn less than 80 percent of the HAMFI. 478

Housing Problem Assessment
According to HUD’s 2017 Report to Congress on Worst-Case Housing Needs, households with the worst- case needs are 1) renters with very - low-income (less than 50 percent of the Area Median Income) AND 2) do not receive housing assistance. The report further states that two types of priority problems determine whether households have worst case needs: 1) Severe rent burden - a renter household is paying more than one -half of its income for gross rent (rent and utilities) and 2) Severely inadequate housing refers to units having one or more serious physical problems related to heating, plumbing, and electrical systems or maintenance.

As related to Tables 7 and 8, HUD defines four (4) different housing problems as:
1) Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or stove, or a refrigerator
2) Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet and a bathtub or shower
3) Overcrowding / severe overcrowding: A household is considered to be overcrowded if there are more than 1.01 people per room. A household is considered severely overcrowded if there are more than

1.5 people per room.
480

Consolidated Plan CHINO 32
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
4) Cost burden / severe cost burden: A household is considered cost burdened if the household pays more than 30 percent of its total gross income for housing costs. A household is considered severely cost burdened if the household pays more than 50 pe rcent of its total income for housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities.

Based on the data above in Table 7, the following housing problems exist in Chino:
• 203 households are living in Substandard Housing - Lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, the majority of which are renters
• 235 households are Severely Overcrowded - With >1.51 people per room (and complete kitchen and plumbing), the majority of which are renters
• 649 households are Overcrowded - With 1.01 -1.5 people per room (and none of the above problems), with both renters and owners experiencing
• 3,860 households experience Housing cost burden greater than 50% of income (and none of the above problems), with both renters and owners experiencing • 2,465 households experience Housing cost burden greater than 30% of income (and none of the above problems), with both renters and owners experiencing • 125 households have zero/negative Income (and none of the above problems) In addition to renters being more impacted than owners, data in Table 7 above also illustrate that low - and moderate-income households are disproportionately impacted by housing problems, compared to those earning higher income; thus, there is a high need for housing assistance targeted at the 4,355 households earning at or below 80 percent of AMI experiencing housing problems (2,590 renters and 1,765 owners) shown in Table 8.

Thus, there is still a high need for housing assistance to address affordability, overcrowding, and substandard housing.

Severe Cost Burden
As shown in Table 10 Severe Cost Burden impacts both renters and owners nearly equally regardless of tenure; however elderly households are disproportionately impacted representing 45 percent of renters and 51 percent of owners experiencing severe cost burden. There are 245 small family renter households, 90 large family renter households, 490 elderly renter households, and 255 other renter households for a total of 1,080 households that qualify as those with worst case housing need. Many of these households fall under the extremely - low-income category and would qualify for the Section 8 Voucher rental assistance program.

Crowding
While overcrowding is typically caused by low -income and high housing cost, cultural practices also contribute as some cultures tend to have larger household sizes. Overcrowding rates also vary significantly by income, type, and size of household. Generally, low - and moderate-income households and large families experience a disproportionate share of overcrowding. Lack of adequate housing stock to accommodate larger families may also be an issue for renters as only 15 percent of the City’s housing stock has four (4) or more bedrooms, of which only 1,101 units are renter-occupied. In contrast 50 percent of owner-occupied (6,266) housing units have four or more bedrooms.

As shown in Table 11 Crowding impacts renters more so than owners, especially small family households.

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

Single-parent households often require special consideration and assistance due to their greater need for affordable and accessible day care, health care, and other supportive services. Many female -headed households with children may have lower incomes compared to two -parent households. Single, female mothers may also f ace social marginalization pressures that can limit their occupational choices and income earning potential, housing options and access to supportive services.

According to ACS 2018 data, the majority of single parent households in the City of Chino are female - headed (65.6 percent). The data shows that in San Bernardino County over 73 percent of single parent homes were headed by females. Overall, there were 986 single parent households living below the poverty level in the City of Chino, about 26 percent of all single parent households. Specifically, the City's Housing Element also identified the following single -person households who may be in need of housing assistance:
• Seniors Living Alone 1,425 Persons
• Single-Parent Households 3,815 Households
• Single-Parent, Female Headed Households with Children (under 18 years) 2,501 Households 484

Data pertaining to households with children present by income level and tenure is not readily available as Table 12 would suggest; however, the CHAS data reported 5,375 households with one or more children 6 years old or younger by income level as follows:
• 1,915 (0-30 percent AMI)
• 1,750 (>30-50 percent AMI)
• 1,710 (>50-80 percent AMI)
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.

Physical and developmental disabilities can hinder access to traditionally designed housing units as well as potentially limit the ability to earn adequate income. Physical, mental, and/or developmental disabilities may deprive a person from earning income, restrict mobility, or make self-care difficult. Thus, persons with disabilities often have special housing needs related to limited earning capacity, a lack of accessible and affordable housing, and higher health costs associated with a disability. Additionally, some residents suffer from disabilities that require living in a supportive or institutional setting.

Housing opportunities for persons with disabilities can be addressed through the provision of affordable, barrier-free housing. Rehabilitation assistance can be targeted toward renters and homeowners with disabilities for unit modification to improve acces sibility. According to the CHAS data there are 8,771 disabled residents in Chino.

In addition to overpayment difficulties experienced by seniors due to relatively fixed incomes, many seniors can experience various disabilities and self-care limitations. According to the ACS, 1,891 seniors in the City of Chino identified one or more disabilities.

The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) reports that:
• 34.9% of women in California experience physical violence, sexual violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
• 31.1% of men in California experience physical violence, sexual violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
• In one year alone there were over 160,000 domestic violence-related calls to law enforcement. • Nearly half of those calls involved a weapon.
• Domestic violence hotlines receive approximately 13 calls every minute.

House of Ruth, a leading domestic violence service provider in San Bernardino County, provided services to 42 victims of domestic violence from Chino in 2023. The 2024 Point In Time Survey of the region’s homeless reported that 17% of unsheltered homeless (5 people) were victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking in Chino. Victims of domestic violence are also typically in need of housing assistance. While it is difficult to determine the true number of victims needing assistance in 485

Consolidated Plan CHINO 37
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Chino, the California Department of Justice reported 318 calls received from the City in 2023, demonstrating a need for services and assistance.

Victims of domestic violence often face urgent housing needs, requiring safe and confidential shelter to escape abusive situations. The City of Chino addresses homelessness, which can include individuals fleeing domestic violence, through its Homeless Outreach Program and Engagement (HOPE), aiming to facilitate the transition from unsheltered situations to permanent housing. Additionally, the City partners with House of Ruth to provide confidential and free services such as counseling, community services, and residential programs for families affected by domestic violence. These initiatives highlight the ongoing efforts within the Chino area to support domestic violence victims in securing safe housing and essential services. Victims of domestic violence are also typically in need of housing assistance.

What are the most common housing problems?
According to HUD data from Table 7, the most common housing problem is housing cost burden. This housing problem impacts both renter and owner households. To a much lesser degree, some households are affected by crowding and substandard housing (as defin ed by HUD). 3,860 households experience Housing cost burden greater than 50% of income (and none of the above problems), with both renters and owners experiencing and 2,465 households experience Housing cost burden greater than 30% of income (and none of the above problems), with both renters and owners experiencing.

Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Certain households may have more difficulty in finding adequate and affordable housing due to special circumstances. Special needs populations include seniors, persons with disabilities, female -headed households, large households, and farm workers. In addition, many often have lower incomes because on special needs identified below. Special Needs Groups in Chino were reported in the City's Housing Element as follows:
• Households with Seniors (65 years and over) 8,021 Households • Seniors Living Alone 1,425 Persons
• Persons with Disabilities 5,691 Persons
• Persons with Developmental Disabilities (1) 274 Persons • Large Households (5 or more persons per
• household) 4,853 Households
• Single-Parent Households 3,815 Households
• Single-Parent, Female Headed Households with
• Children (under 18 years) 2,501 Households
• People Living in Poverty 7,768 Persons
• Farmworkers (Agriculture, forestry, fishing, and

• Seasonal Farmworkers (2) 667 Persons
• Permanent Farmworkers (2) 1,579 Persons
• Persons Experiencing Homelessness 31 Persons
• College/Graduate School Students 7,189 Persons
Additionally, low-and- moderate-income persons are most affected by these problems based on their limited income.

According to the City’s Housing Element and ACS 2018 data, 7,768 persons in the City of Chino were reported to be living in poverty, about 11 percent of the population. Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander was the highest percent of persons living in poverty at 55.2 percent of the total Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Island population. The lowest percentage of persons identified as living in poverty was the American Indian and Alaska Native population at about 1 percent living in poverty of all persons who reported American Indian and Alaska Native. Additionally, those who reported Some Other Race were disproportionately affected by poverty at 18.6 percent. About 15 percent of the Black population reported living in poverty and 12.9 percent of the H ispanic or Latino population reported living in poverty. The White, Asian, and those who reported two or more races had the lowest levels of poverty at 7.4 percent,

10.7 percent, and 9.5 percent, respectively.

Factors contributing to the rise in populations experiencing homelessness include unemployment and underemployment, a lack of affordable housing (especially for extremely low -income households), reductions in funding allocations directed to the poor, and the de-institutionalization of persons who are defined mentally ill.

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:

Extremely low-income households that are experiencing severe housing cost burden are most at risk of becoming homeless. The methodology for estimating the number of households that may be at risk of homelessness is also outlined as follows: Of the 20,030 H ouseholds in Chino, approximately 35 percent (7,985) are considered low- and moderate-income; earning 0-80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).

Of these, 8 percent are extremely low-income (0-30 percent AMI), thus 1,602 households are considered at-risk.
487

Consolidated Plan CHINO 39
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City of Chino has been allocated a RHNA of 2,113 housing units for very low -income households. As extremely low-income units represent half of the very low -income total, it can be concluded the City of Chino needs to anticipate a need for 1,057 housing units affordable to extremely low-income households in Chino over the next 5-8 years.

Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
Housing instability encompasses a number of challenges, such as having trouble paying rent, overcrowding, moving frequently, or spending the bulk of household income on housing. The cost of housing as well as the health effects of substandard housing and forced evictions. Certain populations, such as children who move frequently and people who have spent time in prison, may be more affected by housing instability. Physica l or mental illness and addiction disorders, as well as economic factors including the impact of high housing and medical costs impact homelessness. Lack of regular housing, neighborhood characteristics, physical and mental health challenges, elevated rate s of childhood and chronic disease, stress, depression, anxiety, and suicide are all characteristics associated with instability and an increased 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
A disproportionate need exists when members of a racial/ethnic group experience housing problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than the proportion of the jurisdiction/income level as a whole.

The following section assesses 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 for the population of low - and moderate-income households.

The four housing problems are:
1) Lacks complete kitchen facilities; 2) Lacks complete plumbing facilities; 3) More than one person per room; and/or 4) Cost Burden greater than 30%.

The housing problems experienced by race/ethnicity are identified in Tables 13 -16 below and analyze disproportionate needs by income level.

Introduction
A disproportionate need exists when members of a racial/ethnic group experience severe housing problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than the proportion of the jurisdiction/income level as a whole. The following section assesses 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 for the population of low- and moderate-income households.

The ACS defines a “selected condition” as owner- or renter occupied housing units having at least one of the following conditions:
1) lacking complete plumbing facilities; 2) lacking complete kitchen facilities; 3) more than 1.5 occupants per room; and 4) selected monthly housing costs greater than 50 percent of household income.

Introduction:

HUD defines cost burden as the extent to which gross housing costs, including utility costs, exceeds 30 percent of a given household’s gross income. A household is considered severely cost burdened if gross housing costs, including utility costs, exceeds 5 0 percent of a household’s gross income. A disproportionate need exists when members of a racial/ethnic group experience cost burden problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than the proportion of the jurisdiction/income level as a whole.

• 4,585 (20 percent) of all households earn Very - low-income. There is no disproportiate need in this category.
• 4,395 (19 percent) of all households earn above Low- and moderate-income or above 50 percent of the AMI. Disproportionate need exists for Black/African American (55 percent) and Pacific Islander (63 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? A summary of disproportionately greater need and housing cost burden is provided in the analysis above.

Within nearly all income categories, Hispanic, Black/African American, Asian, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and Pacific Islander households have experienced a disproportionate amount of housing problems and housing cost burdens.

If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? As the majority of the housing stock is old and the majority of housing problems appear to be severe overpayment/cost burden and potentially overcrowding to accommodate for the lack of affordable housing of the appropriate size. Thus, affordable housing an d increased economic opportunity to access higher median income appear to be the major needs for those disproportionately impacted.

Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community?

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

Not applicable to the City of Chino. The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino administers the 50 public housing units which are located in Chino.

Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders The County of San Bernardino is responsible for determining needs of its Public Housing Program and participants of its HCV Program.

How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large It is difficult to compare the housing needs of public housing residents and HCV holders to the population at large because participants of these affordable housing programs are not encountering the challenges of those not receiving the benefit of public h ousing programs. While monthly housing costs are limited for program participants of rental assistance programs, most of the City's low - and moderate-income renters were considered burdened by their housing cost. Choices may be limited for those with a voucher or they may experience discrimination from landlords not willing to participate in the Section 8 program.

Discussion
The vast number of people on waiting lists for public housing programs clearly show the high need for affordable housing. The voucher system places no rent limits on the units and the voucher holder can choose housing that rents at levels higher than the F air Market Rents (FMRs), making it a very popular program. While the voucher system allows households to have greater access to housing since they may choose to live anywhere that accepts Section 8, many landlords tend to dislike accepting the vouchers based on their fear of having lower -income tenants. Advertisements containing discriminatory phrases such as “No Section 8” are one area where voucher holders may experience bias; another is when they physically visit complexes that will not accept their voucher. Thus, fair housing services may be needed by residents using the voucher program.

Discussion:

Throughout the country homelessness has become an increasing problem. Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include a lack of housing affordable to low- and moderate-income persons, increases in the number of persons whose income fall below the poverty level, reductions in subsidies to the poor, drug/alcohol abuse, and the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill. The County suffers from a severe lack of affordable housing for both renters and buyers. The inability of homeless people to afford housing is compounded by the limited employment and entitlement options available to homeless people. With limited working skills, homeless people earn only modest wages. Moreover, cutbacks in federal assistance programs also play a critical part in the plight of the homeless. This has been particularly true with public assistance programs, where benefit levels have not kept pace with the cost of living.

Those who are at -risk of homelessness are those who are experiencing extreme difficulty maintaining housing and have no reasonable alternatives of obtaining subsequent housing. Contributing factors putting people at -risk include eviction, loss of income, low-income, disability, unaffordable 504

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

HUD requires that the Consolidated Plan include a review of relevant data regarding the housing needs of persons that have special supportive housing needs, but who are not homeless. Certain segments of the population, such as elderly, disabled, victims of domestic violence, and persons with HIV/AIDS may experience conditions that make it difficult for them to access affordable housing. Physical or medical conditions, space or supportive service requirements, income, or other factors may impede a household’s ability to obtain decent and affordable housing. This section briefly describes the characteristics of some of the special needs populations in Chino.

Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:

Special need populations are identified as the elderly, disabled, victims of domestic violence, and persons with HIV/AIDS. Characteristics are identified below. Several service providers are available to help special needs populations. Safety net services allow special needs populations to save limited financial resources on items such as transportation, after -school care, and food/clothing. Additionally, fair ho using enforcement and rental assistance vouchers are valuable housing resources for special needs populations.

The service and housing needs of special needs populations were determined by the input of community stakeholders, government agencies, and service providers.

The elderly and disabled populations are often impacted by limited mobility, increased health complications, and fixed income. Common service needs include transportation and in -home services.

Accessibility housing needs of the disabled population, including the elderly, can typically be addressed through housing rehabilitation programs that provided improvements such as ramps, grab bars, wider doorways, and specialized kitchen cabinets.

Victims of domestic violence often face urgent housing needs, requiring safe and confidential shelter to escape abusive situations.

Persons with HIV/AIDS are considered a special needs group due to their need for health care and supportive services. Persons with HIV/AIDS may also face bias and misunderstanding about their illness that may affect their access to housing. Furthermore, these households may also have special needs in that they may have trouble balancing their incomes with medical expenses due to their illness, putting them at-risk of becoming homeless.

What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
Supportive services required for special needs populations include case management, medical or Affordability needs of special needs groups can usually be addressed through rental subsidies and affordable housing development. These households tend to have l ower-incomes and as a result often 506

Consolidated Plan CHINO 58
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
have greater needs for affordable housing, healthcare, and child -care. Without access to affordable housing, many of these households may be at risk of becoming homeless. These groups are also particularly vulnerable to discrimination, as confirmed by comp laints received by the Fair Housing Foundation, which identifies familial status and disability as prevalent discrimination complaint issues.

Affordable housing with childcare centers or in close proximity to schools, public transportation, and recreation facilities can address critical needs of lower-income single-parent families. Households with an elderly head-of-household have special housing needs due to three concerns: fixed income, health care costs, and physical disabilities. Seniors are often retired and have relatively lower, fixed incomes. At the same time, however, health costs are rising. Many may have become disabled and require spe cial home care or assistance with daily chores and home tasks. These characteristics indicate a need for smaller, lower cost housing units with easy access to public transportation and to health care facilities. Persons with disabilities have a greater need for affordable housing as well as supportive services. In addition to health care services, persons with disabilities need affordable and accessible housing as well as accessible transportation. In order to provide accessible housing, special designs and /or accommodations may be necessary. These may include ramps, holding bars, wider doorways, lower sinks and cabinets, and elevators. Housing should be accessible through the use of special design features to accommodate wheelchairs and persons with mobilit y limitations. Due to their specific housing needs, persons with disabilities are vulnerable to discrimination by landlords, who may not be familiar with the reasonable accommodation protections contained in the Fair Housing Act.

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

As of December 2024, 32 people were living with HIV in Chino. Demographic data regarding the characteristics of the People Living with HIV Disease (PLWHD) include the following:
• Gender: 88% male, 13% female, and none were transgender • Race/Ethnicity: 72% Hispanic, 6% White, 9% Asian, and 13% Black • Age: With the greatest percentage age 50 and older (56%), followed by age 30 -39 (22%), 40-49 (19%), and only 3% for ages 20-29.
• Housing: The Majority live with relatives/friends (41%) or in rental housing (28%), while 12% were homeless.

If the PJ will establish a preference for a HOME TBRA activity for persons with a specific category of disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness), describe their unmet need for housing and services needed to narrow the gap in bene fits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2) (ii)) N/A, the City does not receive HOME funds.

Discussion:

Residents with special needs include, but are not limited to the elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol and other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence. Challenges these special needs populations face includes low -income and high housing cost. This segment of the population also struggles for a decent quality of life that includes basic necessities, adequate food and clothing and medical care.

In the last five years, the City has provided CDBG public service funds for activities including support services for victims of domestic violence, homeless persons and those at -risk of becoming homeless, as well as nutritional meals program for low -income seniors, medical, dental, and development/anti-crime services for low -income youth, therapeutic services for the disabled, and literacy services for illiterate adults. Based on the prevalence of special needs groups in the city, there will be a high need to continue providing these types of services during the next five (5) years. 508

NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs – 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities:

Under the CDBG Program, grantees may use funds to undertake a variety of public facilities and public improvement projects. In general, public facilities and public improvements are interpreted to include all facilities and improvements that are publicly o wned, or that are owned by a nonprofit and open to the general public. Examples include: 1) Infrastructure improvements (construction or installation) including, but not limited to streets, sidewalks, curbs, and water and sewer lines; 2) Neighborhood facil ities including, but not limited to public schools, libraries, recreational facilities, parks, playgrounds; and facilities for persons with special needs such as facilities for the homeless or domestic violence shelters, nursing homes, or group homes for the disabled.

The City places a High Priority level on non -housing community development needs including those associated with neighborhood services such as graffiti removal and code compliance, public facilities improvements such as park and community center rehabilitation or ADA improvements and infrastructure improvements including sidewalks, curbs, gutters, driveway approaches, alleys and pedestrian crossings.

In addition, Persons who are physically disabled often have accessibility needs. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides comprehensive civil rights protection to persons with disabilities in the areas of public accommodation, employment, state and local government services, and telecommunications. The design, implementation, and maintenance of all park facilities must comply with ADA. Persons of all abilities must have the opportunity to participate in recreational activities. The City will continue to work toward compliance with ADA. CDBG funds may be budgeted for pedestrian ramps and toward upgrading of public facilities, community parks, and other areas where accessibility improvements are identified.

How were these needs determined?
The Non-Housing Community Development Needs section is based on consultations with City staff, social service providers, public agencies, and community feedback. Under the CDBG Program, funds can be used for public facilities and improvement projects, incl uding infrastructure (streets, sidewalks, water lines), neighborhood facilities (schools, parks, shelters), and special needs facilities (nursing homes, group homes). The City prioritizes neighborhood services, park and community center rehab, and infrastructure improvements like sidewalks, curbs, and pedestrian crossings. Accessibility for people with disabilities is a key focus, with efforts to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). CDBG funds may be used for ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps and upgrades to public facilities and parks.

Parks and Recreational Facilities received the most responses at 58% followed by Community Centers at 37%.

509

Consolidated Plan CHINO 61
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements:

The sidewalks, curbs, gutters, driveway approaches, alleys, pedestrian crossings and streetlights located within the city’s low- and moderate-income areas are among the oldest infrastructure in the City and are in need of improvement to preserve neighborho od aesthetics, increase pedestrian and motorist safety, promote more efficient traffic circulation and deter crime while promoting a safe and suitable living environment. Public facilities improvements of this nature undertaken to benefit low - and moderate income primarily residential Census Tract Groups are consistent with the goals of the Strategic Plan and various other planning documents of the Public Works Department.

The projects are funded from a variety of sources such as the General Fund, Community Development Block Grant, Measure I, SB 1 and other local and federal grants.

How were these needs determined?
Infrastructure and Public Facility Improvement needs were identified through citizen participation responses from the Community Needs Survey, reviews of recent planning documents, and Census data.

The City Manager’s Office, Parks and Recreation Department, Public Works Department, and Community Services Department were consulted for input, and the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and Housing Element were reviewed. Priority is given to capital projects that address public health and safety or meet federal and state legal requirements. Emphasis is placed on projects that maintain current service levels or prevent damage to critical property or service disruptions. Projects that enhance services or improve efficiency beyond industry standards are prioritized secondarily.

Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services:

Public service activities are consistently ranked as a High priority by residents and other stakeholders.

Pursuant to CDBG regulations, only 15 percent of the City’s annual grant allocation (plus 15 percent of prior year program income) can be used for public service-type activities. Based on the Needs Assessment, the City proposes to focus funds on lower-income households in order to establish, improve, and expand existing public services, such as: youth and senior services, mental health services, transpo rtation and childcare for working families. The City has several initiatives that the CDBG program can complement and consider when determining projects to fund in the next five including: Food Assistance, Counseling, fair housing, shelter, case management, and graffiti abatement.

How were these needs determined?
Public service needs are based on the City’s desire to ensure that high quality services are provided to residents to maintain a high quality of life and to promote the well-being of all residents- particularly low and moderate-income residents. As a resul t of the citizen participation and consultation process and in consideration of the local nonprofits and City Departments offering services, the City considers public services benefitting low- and moderate-income residents a high priority in the Strategic Plan. 510

Consolidated Plan CHINO 62
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Residents rated anti-crime programs, homeless services, and youth services as high priority needs in the Community Needs Survey. Also, a review of the City’s Consolidated Annual Performance Report (CAPER), shows that the City partnered with several non-profits, which confirms need and use of the services.

Within the Consolidated Plan, High priority is given to public service projects that primarily benefit and accommodate the needs of low- and moderate-income residents, special needs groups in particular. Only public service projects that meet CDBG eligibility requirements align with the goals of the Strategic Plan, and address a CDBG National, will be considered for funding in the Annual Action Plans during the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:

This section looks at the supply of housing in Chino by looking at the number of housing units within the jurisdiction. The cost of housing is also examined here along with the tenure and the condition of housing stock in the City of Chino. Community facil ities that are also part of the assessment, looking at the other needs that anchor the quality of life within this jurisdiction.

The facilities available to homeless individuals and families are also assessed here, determining not only how many shelters serve this vulnerable group but also available transitional housing and other programs meant to improve their standard of living. T he population in Chino is likely to grow from an estimated 86,757 to 95,606 between 2020 and 2025 with an average growth rate of 1.7% per annum. This growing population requires a growing housing market that caters to all income categories. This section is broken down as follows:
• Examine the current number of different types of housing and projects future housing needs that cater to the population within the city.
• Look at the cost of housing, putting into consideration projections of home values and comparing HOME rents as well as Fair housing rents.
• The age of housing is looked at here to determine the quality of the housing stock. • The availability of affordable housing units and any growth potential for low-income households. • This is a follow-up from the needs assessment outlining the programs and initiatives that support homeless persons within the jurisdiction.
• This is also an extension of the Needs assessment that further explores the facilities and service available to the special needs groups such as seniors and the disabled. • This area looks at how government regulations can also prevent growth of the housing market by preventing timely construction and/or rehabilitation of housing stock. • The labor force as an asset towards economic development is examined. The relationship between academic attainments, income level and ability to afford housing is examined here. • This section attempts to visualize the location of households that experience housing conditions or low -income areas within the jurisdiction. The Market analysis also gives insights into the housing needs in the City of Chino and how regional and state age ncies through their programs actualize local goals to improve housing in the jurisdiction.

Single Family residence (1-unit detached ) structures represent the majority of housing type in the jurisdiction by a significant margin at 6 8%, while attached or multi-family housing represents 30%, and Mobile homes are the least at 2.6%. The average household size is 3.47 persons which may indicate why the highest number of homes have three or more bedrooms. Approximately 62% of households are owner-occupied, while 38% are renter- occupied. Of the bedroom size the majority of the housing stock is three- bedrooms or higher. Owners have very limited options for smaller housing size with only 1% each of studio and one-bedroom options. Even two- bedrooms represent only 12% for owners contrasting to 37 percent renters. In contrast, 87 percent of owner-occupied units are three- bedrooms or more and 42 percent for renters.

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

The housing programs are administered through the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB).

1. The Housing Choice Voucher Program - The program is funded by the federal government through HUD. The purpose is to create opportunities for affordable rental housing by low-income families to ensure the availability and affordability of safe housing units. This program also involves private owners and rentals. The total tenant payment is the highest of:
• 30% of adjusted income
• 10% of the total monthly income
• the welfare rent
• minimum rent ($50)

2. The Chino Affordable Housing Community - affordable housing site with 50 units managed by the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino. Public housing is considered permanent affordable housing.

3. HOME Affordable Housing Program- This program is available to low and moderate-income households.

This program ensures reasonable housing choices for individuals and families.

4. Homeownership Assistance Program- interested participants find an appropriate mortgage lender and work with the assistance of the HASBC who takes the participant through the process of buying a home.

The HACSB Manages and/or owns about 10,000 housing un its. Out of this number, the following are in the City of Chino:
• 50 units-Affordable Housing Community
• 577 units (5 mobile home parks) - Rent stabilized units • 110 Units- Section 8 Housing
• 651 Units- Publicly Assisted Rental Housing
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.

Based on the current City of Chino housing element (2021-2029), there are a total of 651 publicly assisted rental housing units located in the City. Currently, ten projects are at risk of losing their affordability, totaling 132 units, which are due to expire during the plan ning period. While they are expected to be extended, the likelihood of their conversion rates to market costs is high. They are, therefore, treated as projects at risk of being lost from the affordable housing inventory. The majority of the units are one- and 514

Consolidated Plan CHINO 66
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
two- bedrooms, which will disproportionately affect seniors, singles and small families experiencing worst case housing needs.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? The cost of housing and income determines the availability of housing. The Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is a mandated state quota for increasing housing stock within different jurisdictions.

The City has been allocated 6,978 units to increase the housing stock between 2021 and 2029.

Describe the need for specific types of housing:

There are thousands of persons on the affordable housing waitlist, which indicates that there is a great need for low-income housing in the City of Chino. The RHNA has broken down the number of units per income category as follows:
• Extremely Low/Very Low-Income (0-50% of AMI): 2,113 units (30 %) • Low-Income (51%-80% of AMI): 1,284 units (18 %)
• Moderate-Income (81%-120% of AMI): 1,203 units (17 %) • Above Moderate-Income (more than 120% of AMI): 2,378 units (34 %) Discussion
The City’s housing stock is comprised primarily of single units. State and regional planners have established goals for all jurisdictions to create an environment to allow for the creation of housing that is affordable to different income levels. While the City has encouraged the development of many housing units, there appears to be a need for additional units, particularly affordable to lower-income households.

As the City’s population continues to age, there may be less pressure on the housing market for larger homes and greater need for smaller, more affordable homes, since a small portion of the housing stock is made up of efficiencies and one-bedrooms. Additionally, there are very limited ownership opportunities for these smaller units (2%) that would benefit seniors and single households; thus, balance will be needed when approving development projects.

In the last decade, the City has continued to pursue affordable housing development; however, the lack of monetary resources available to create new affordable housing units of adequate size and lack of current inventory, housing affordability and overcrowding problems for Small Families will continue to be a challenge to the community during the period of the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction
The cost of housing has a significant impact on affordability. It is also an indicator of the quality of life in the jurisdiction based on the cost burden. High housing costs can also cause other housing problems, including overcrowding and inability to maintain quality of housing stock by ensuring good plumbing and kitchen facilities are available. According to table 33 below, the median home value has increased 37 percent since 2010, which is similar to surrounding cities.

Table 34 shows t he rent values also increased by 24%, showing that some of the previous homeowners who had sold or lost their homes became renters, increasing the market value of rentals.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? In reference to the needs assessment, these are the most common housing problems in Chino.

1. Housing cost burden greater than 50% of income

2. Housing cost burden greater than 30% of income

3. Overcrowded - With 1.01-1.5 people per room
Overpayment and overcrowding are indicators that the cost of housing is high, especially among lower - income households, and overcrowding may also be an indicator that the cost of housing is high, especially for large families. There needs to be more housing for lower-income households, evidenced by the RHNA for the city. According to table 35 above, Renter units are the lowest among households with an income 30% of the HAMFI with no owner unit data available. Households with an income 50% of the HAMFI have the lowest units available (180) among owners. Renters earning 0-30 percent How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
According to CAR’s Housing Affordability Report for 2024, only 18% of all Californians earned the minimum income needed to purchase a median-priced home in 2024, down from 19 percent in 2023. At the same time, housing affordability for White/non-Hispanic households fell from 23 percent in 2023 to 21 percent in 2024. In 2024, 10 percent of Black households and 9 percent of Hispanic/Latino households could afford a median -priced home — figures that remained unchanged from the previous year. The significant difference in housing affordability for Black and Hispanic/Latino households illustrates the homeownership gap and wealth disparity for communities of color, which could worsen as the economy slows and rates remain elevated in 2025. Housing affordability was better for Asians but also declined from the prior year, with the index registering 27 percent of Asian homebuyers who could afford the median-priced home in 2024, down from 29 percent in 2023, according to C.A.R.’s Housing Affordability Index.

While statistics specific to Chino are not available, in San Bernardino County housing affordability is slightly higher than the State; though patterns are similar, with Hispanic and Black communities having a 517

Consolidated Plan CHINO 69
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
lower index that White and Asian . The index for the County is 35 overall, 37 for White, 47 for Asian, 32 for Hispanic and 25 for Black. In San Bernardino County the Median home price is $485,000 , minimum monthly payment is $3,100 per month a nd the minimum income needed to qualify is $ 124,000. In contrast for California these figures are $865,000, $5,530 and $221,200 respectively.

While interest rates are projected to dip slightly in 2025, the gap in housing affordability among ethnic groups will likely remain wide this year as home prices are expected to grow moderately in the next 12 months.

In an effort to address California’s growing housing affordability crisis and racial homeownership divide, C.A.R. continues to partner with nonprofit housing organizations to offer Downpayment Assistance, as do various lenders, and the City is exploring those options as well.

Housing affordability is determined by various factors, including housing supply, housing cost, and vacancy rate. Overpayment is the most significant housing problem in the city. According to the 2013 -2017 ACS data, about 58.5% of renters and 35.8% of owne rs spend 30% or more of their income on housing. Data from the regional MLS shows that housing costs are significantly high and depend on bedroom size. Data shows the average sale prices and rental rates in Chino are as follows:

Average Sales Price Average Rent
1-bedroom is $459,900 1-bedroom is $1,669
2-bedroom is $495,941 2-bedroom is $2,613
3-bedroom is $709,237 3-bedroom is $4,448
4-bedroom is $841,210 4-bedroom is $3,674
5-bedroom is $1,023,280 5-bedroom is $4,161
6-bedroom is $1,109,333 6-bedroom is $4,800
Source: CRMLS April and May 2025
Given homes usually appreciate in value, it is unlikely that these prices will go down during the five -year period. In addition, market price rental rates are very high, and typically do not decrease.

How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? The Fair market rent is determined by the housing demand and supply in an area while the HOME Rent is what beneficiaries of the affordable housing programs pay. High Home rents for Efficiency (no bedroom), 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedroom units are the same as fair market rates High HOME rents are significantly lower than the fair market rents. The average rent for a 3 bedroom (which makes up 87% of the bedroom type for owners and 42% of renters) i s about $4,448. This is substantially higher than the Fair Market rent of $3,079 for 2025 and $1,858 high HOME rent for 3-bedroom units as determined by HUD. Even if Section 8 was used to help with affordability, the payment standard is much less at $3,410 for a 3-bedroom unit; thus a landlord would likely be unwilling to participate in the program . There is still a good opportunity 518

Consolidated Plan CHINO 70
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
to increase the affordable housing inventory through the RHNA , though focus on different bedroom sizes/types is likely needed. While the Fair Market Rents have increased by an average of $322 per type over the last year, they are still under market value. With interest rates on purchases higher than previous years, the rental market will continue to be tight as many renters cannot afford to move into ownership- housing. Below are the fair market rents, difference from the prior year, and Section 8 Payment Standards; all of which illustrate the high cost of rental housing in the City.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
Assessing housing conditions in the City provides the basis for developing strategies to maintain and preserve the quality of the housing stock. Housing units need to be maintained to ensure reinvestment, safety, and quality of housing. There are four conditions examined under the ACS data estimates to determine the need for rehabilitation:
• lacking complete plumbing facilities,
• lacking complete kitchen facilities,
• with 1.01 or more occupants per room,
• selected monthly owner costs as a percentage of household income greater than 30 percent, and • gross rent as a percentage of household income greater than 30 percent.

The age of housing informs the City of Chino of the rehabilitation needs for its housing stock.

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

According to the California housing law and regulations, a housing unit is considered substandard when its condition endangers “the life, limb, health, property, safety, or welfare of the public or the occupants.” These conditions include inadequate or lac k of sanitation facilities such as poor water supply, lavatory, and shower; Structural Hazards such as poor or deteriorating flooring, foundations, and walls and poor condition of wiring and plumbing to name a few. Based on the definition of selected conditions, Table 37 shows that 35 percent of owner-occupied households in the City have at least one selected condition and 58 percent of all renter -occupied households in the City have at least one selected condition. This translates to 4,950 owner households and 5,100 renter households respectively that may need some type of housing assistance based on housing conditions.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
As with most cities, there is a need for both owner and rental rehabilitation based on the condition and age of the jurisdiction's housing. The 2019-2023 ACS data shown in Table 37 above, more than half of renters have at least one selected condition prob lem 4,550 (52%) and an additional 4,795 (34%) of owners reported having at least one condition.

Table 38 shows that approximately two thirds of the housing stock is over 30 years old. According to the City’s Housing Element, housing older than 30 years of age will require minor repairs and modernization improvements. Housing units over 50 years of a ge are more likely to require significant rehabilitation such as roofing, plumbing, and electrical system repairs. Lastly, after 70 521

Consolidated Plan CHINO 73
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
years of age, a unit is generally deemed to have exceeded its useful life. According to the standards from the City’s Housing Element, there is a demand for different levels of housing repair from minor to primary. Table 38 above also indicates that 43% of owner-occupied housing units and 38% of renter -occupied housing units (approximately h alf of Chino’s housing stock) were built between 1950 and 1979, indicating the needs of both minor and moderate renovation and repairs, since the units are 40 to 70 years old. Additionally, 4.2% of Chino’s housing stock was built at least 71 years ago; therefore, a small percentage of units have exceeded its useful life.

While the age of housing is a general indicator of rehabilitation needs, it does not take into account private actions by property owners to maintain and upgrade their properties. The City understands the need to preserve its aging and growing housing stock and will continue to provide rehabilitation assistance to income-qualified residents.

The American Community Survey (ACS), 5 -Years Estimates, 2016 -2020 reported 1,608 vacant units; though it is unknown whether they are suitable for rehabilitation or not. The remaining data requested via the HUD generated Table 40 above for Vacant Units has not been made available since 2009. Public data shows 32 vacant single-family homes were reported in the City as of April 2025.

Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards
As shown in Table 39, the total number of housing units constructed prior to 1980 includes 3,375 renter- occupied units, which constitute 38.0% of the pre -1980 housing stock. Of these renter -occupied units, 1,470 (17%) are households with children present. Furthermore, there are 6,115 owner -occupied units (43%) built before 1980 that are also susceptible to the presence of lead -based paint hazards. Of those owner-occupied units, 2,740 (19%) are households with children present. This data highlights a health threat requiring attention throu gh owner and rental rehabilitation programs, especially for low -to- moderate income households. According to 2016-2020 ACS Date, it is estimated that 1,800 (19%) low-to- moderate households reside in the overall total of the 8,855 housing units in the City of Chino that were constructed prior to 1980. According to the County Health Department, roughly 27 children were reported with elevated blood levels during the last 5 years.

Discussion
There has been a decrease in the number of units with at least one housing condition when compared to older ACS data on housing conditions. Additionally, the City of Chino still has a high number of housing units at least 40 years old. The City must contin ue to work towards upgrading their older housing stock, assisting households in financial need as well as working to eliminate lead-based paint hazards, especially in units with children present.

one-bedroom units. Approximately 70 children, 12 seniors, 77 adults, and 21 persons with disabilities live within the public housing units. Vacancy at the property is limited. In addition, the publicly assisted rental housing stock in Chino includes:
• Seasons Senior Villas: 102 affordable senior units complex constructed with subsidies from Redevelopment Housing Set -Aside funds and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program.
• Villa Del Sol Apartments: 10 affordable family units constructed with Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds. • Ivy at College Park: 133 affordable family units built with Redevelopment Housing Set Aside funds. Ivy College Park II: 330 affordable family units
• Steelworkers Oldtimers: 84-unit housing for seniors and disabled persons; project was constructed with HUD Section 202/811 funds and maintained a Section 8 contract.
• Vista Park Chino: 40-unit family housing was built with a HUD Section 221d4 mortgage financing and maintains a Section 8 contract. • Meadow Square: 250 affordable family units built with Redevelopment Housing Set Aside funds.

Additionally, there are 577 affordable housing units within the City’s five mobile home parks. These units remain affordable through the City’s rent stabilization ordinance, which is exempt from the 1995 Costa Hawkins Rental Housing Act (AB 1164) that permits the decon trol of rent upon vacancy of units by tenants. These mobile home units are considered a source of permanently affordable housing in the community. Tenants at these mobile home parks are predominantly senior households. 524

Describe the restoration and revitalization needs of public housing units in the jurisdiction:

The County Housing Authority adheres to HUD’s Asset Management Program, which requires housing authorities to model their public housing portfolio after the private sector model. The HASBC continues to audit the physical condition, rehabilitation, and revi talization needs of public housing projects within the County. The majority of public housing units in the area have been upgraded in recent years to new - energy efficient water sub-metering, plumbing fixtures, thermostats, lighting, windows, and xeriscaping.

Through innovative, more environmentally friendly technology, all the upgrades provide substantial water, energy, and cost savings immediately upon implementation for both the Housing Authority and its residents.

Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderate-income families residing in public housing:

Residents in public housing are allowed to take part in leadership roles, as resident councils, a program promoted through HASBC. Resident councils focus on improving the quality of life and resident satisfaction through self -help initiatives. These initia tives allow residents to build a positive living environment for those residing in public housing. In addition to its public housing programs, the Housing Authority offers programs designed to promote economic self -sufficiency including the Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) Programs, Homeownership Preparation and Education (HOPE) Program, Resident Services Program and Neighborhood Networks.

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d) Introduction
Special needs groups were discussed in detail within the Needs Assessment portion of this document. This section outlines the facilities available for specific special needs groups.

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
• Seniors - Senior/elderly persons are likely to have disabilities, limiting their ability to function independently. Additionally, senior households usually have a fixed income, restricting their financial abilities. The needs of this population include lon g-term supportive housing, including long-term assisted living, health services, transportation, and nursing care. i. San Bernardino County's Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) - Chino works in conjunction with DAAS to provide services to the senior population. These services include adult protective services, family caregiver support, in-home supportive services, nutrition services, and senior community services employment program.
ii. Licensed Residential Care Facilities - Chino has 14 licensed residential care facilities for the elderly with a combined capacity of 491 beds. The definition of a "Residential Care Facility for the Elderly" is a residential home for seniors aged 60 and over who require or prefer assistance with care and supervision.

Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly may also be known as Assisted Living facilities, retirement homes and board and care homes. The City has one new skilled nursing facility. iii. SMART Shuttle service - provides elderly and disabled residents door -to-door transportation to the Senior Center. The SMART shuttle is also available on a reservation basis once a week for elderly and disabled individuals that require transportation to medic al appointments within Chino. Additionally, the Senior Center also operates a Senior Companion Program, which is designed to match the frail elderly with able seniors to assist with grocery shopping, paying bills, and other supportive activities. • Persons with Disabilities - Some persons with disabilities may have a fixed income, need for accessible housing, proximity to transportation, services, long-term permanent supportive housing, or assisted living.
i. Licensed Care Facilities - According to the State Department of Social Services, there are a total of 22 licensed residential care facilities in Chino with a total capacity of 117 beds to accommodate persons with disabilities.
ii. Affordable Housing / Public Housing/ Section 8- The Housing Authority owns 2,106 units that people with disabilities may apply for to receive affordable housing. Additionally, the Housing Authority owns 528

Consolidated Plan CHINO 80
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
and operates 216 permanent supportive housing units as well as a Section 8 Voucher program that is administered at the County level to more than 10,000 households. • Persons with HIV/AIDS and their Families- Stability in housing that is affordable provides the best opportunity for persons with HIV/AIDS to have access to therapies, treatments, and supportive services to enhance the quality of life for themselves. i. Affordable Housing / Public Housing/ Section 8 - Similar to persons with disabilities and senior households, multiple housing programs exist for persons with HIV/AIDS to apply for. ii. Services - located in proximity to Chino include County of San Bernardino – Ontario (health education, medical case management, pharmacy); Foothill AIDS Project – Claremont (food, housing, emergency financial, transportation); and AIDS Healthcare Foundation – Rancho Cucamonga (Medical Care).

Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
Affordable housing, permanent supportive housing, licensed care facilities, and Section 8 Housing Vouchers all serve as forms of appropriate supportive housing and have been discussed in detail above as well as in the Needs Assessment portion of this document. Furthermore, the City of Chino does not receive funding from the Federal sources and, therefore, is not required to implement supportive housing programs for persons returning from mental and physical health institutions.

At the State level, 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 Progr am 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.

Local and regional programs that support individuals returning from mental and physical health institutions to stable, supportive housing in Chino include:
• Case Management Services The City offers free case management for low -income residents, including: Housing assistance Public benefits enrollment (e.g., Medi -Cal, IHSS) Referrals to supportive services Available at the Neighborhood Activity Center and the Senior Center. • Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program Provides: Long -term rental assistance Intensive case management Focus on families with children enrolled in the Chino Valley Unified School District

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment. While it is critical to have policies and ordinances that ensure the highest standards for housing, it may, at times, become a hindrance when developing housing structure s. These governmental constraints may also affect the affordability of housing in the City. They include the following:

Parking Standards: The City's Zoning Ordinance demands that duplex units that are at least 950 square feet in the area have two covered parking spaces per unit. Parking standards for multi -family units are based on the size of the unit, with an average of one parking space per bedroom as well as additional spaces for guest parking. On a case-by-case basis, this City reviews parking requirements when considering a potential constraint to development and thus allows for reductions in parking requirements.

Additionally, projects with affordable housing units may meet the California Density Bonus requirement for parking, allowing for a decrease in parking based on the number of bedrooms.

AB 1482: Expands rent control to cover units built over 15 years ago and places an annual cap on rent to 5% plus inflation. AB 1482 was signed by Governor Newsom on October 8, 2019, but did not go into effect until January 1, 2020. The unintended consequence of the passing of this bill has been the surge of eviction notices and a substantial increase in rent towards tenants, specifically for low- income households.

Land use controls: The designations in the City's Zoning Ordinance include new high -density residential (RD 30) and several mixed -use designations (Mixed Use Medium Density and High Density). Since the adoption of the General Plan, the City also updated th e Zoning Ordinance to implement the Mixed -Use designations (MU 20 and MU 30). However, a new zoning district to implement the High -Density Residential designation has not yet been created. This could incentivize the development of more affordable housing units due to the lower land costs per unit per acre. This is due to the density bonuses, which would see smaller units costing less to build than larger ones, therefore increasing the affordable housing costs.

Public policy loopholes: The tenant protection act (AB 1482) was enacted in October 2019, protecting renters from paying high rents. However, the law came into effect on January 1, 2020, since it did not receive a two -thirds majority vote. During the 85 da ys wait period, there has been a need to issue Temporary Eviction Moratoriums across the state of California by various cities to stop the eviction of tenants since a 30 -day notice period is required for eviction. This, in turn, has rendered several lower - income renters homeless and in need of emergency housing.

Growth Management: Measure M requires that the maximum density of any land designated for residential use shall not exceed the density for such land established by the zoning map and zoning ordinance, or any development agreements in effect before November 8, 1988. Under Measure M, the City Council retains authority to reduce the density of residential land. The Council may also convert any residential land to any other non -residential use and may change uses among lands designated for non - 531

residential uses, with the exception of senior housing projects. It also prohibits the conversion of any land designated for a non -residential use to residential use, excepting school sites designated in the General Plan or in a specific plan, or developme nt agreements approved by the City Council before November 8, 1988.

MA-45 Non-Housing Community Development Assets – 91.215 (f) Introduction
This section shows how the level of education affects employment type. This, in turn, affects the level of income and the type of housing a household can afford to occupy. While affordable housing is greatly dependent on income, the level of income is also influenced by factors such as age and level of education.

The nature of the sectors and business activities in the area also impact the housing needs and determine the income levels of the workforce.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
The most common problems for both renters and household owners are overpayment and overcrowding.

Housing cost burden greater than 50% of income is the most prevalent, followed by a housing cost burden greater than 30% of income (and none of the above problems), overcrowded households are considered the third largest problem. HUD defines a minority concentration as a neighborhood with a Census tract or other defined geographic area in which the percentage of residents who are racial or ethnic minorities is at least 20 percentage points higher than the p ercentage of minority residents in the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) (or jurisdiction not in an MSA) as a whole. Approximately 50% of low -income households and 15% of moderate-income households have a housing cost burden greater than 50%. It is very likely that the geographic distribution of the cost burden housing problem mirrors that of the low and moderate-income population. Also, housing quality problems are correlated with the age of housing.

However, the number of housing units requiring housing rehabilitation is not extensive and could be as few as a dozen.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") HUD defines concentration as a minority group that has a disproportionate need, which exceeds the average by 10% or more. In Chino, a low or moderate - income concentration means an area where at least 61% of the population is low/moderate income. Only two block groups meet this definition and are illustrated on the map s in Figures 1 and 2. Approximately 7 tracts are considered low - and moderate income, all of which also include minority concentrations, although other more affluent tracts have minority concentrations as well. Chino is an exception criteria grantee as designated by HUD which means that any tract with more than 44.4% low- and moderate- income residents would be a target tract.

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? Characteristics of the market in these areas are similar to housing problems, as discussed above. These include cost burden, crowding, quality. Additionally, housing costs have increased significantly since the last Consolidated plan for both ownership and rental markets. These neighborhoods tend to contain more of the higher density residential housing and are also near the commercial corridors.

Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? According to the zoning ordinance, every residential area has access to community centers, parks, and senior and youth centers. There are senior centers, youth centers, as well as parks and recreational areas.

Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? 539

Consolidated Plan CHINO 91
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Development opportunities are covered in the RHNA plans to develop more affordable housing units.

Other community assets will also be improved through the housing element and annual development plans for the City. The City of Chino Development Services Department will require all sub-recipients under the CDBG program to submit a quarterly grantee performance report, documenting the number, income, race/ethnicity, and household characteristics of the persons/households assisted. In addition, the Department will conduct annual site visits to sub-recipients to ensure the quality and location of services and the targeted beneficiaries are consistent with CDBG program guidelines, as well as the contracted scope of services that will be specified in the agreements with the City.

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.

The California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF), in collaboration with the state of California, has conducted annual surveys since 2008 to assess the rate of internet use in the state. The most recent study performed by the CTEF was in 2023, in collaboratio n with the University of Southern California, which is known as the 2023 Statewide Digital Equity Survey. As part of this study, it was identified that broadband adoption is continuing to increase throughout the State of California, wherein some of the largest growth trends are amongst historically disadvantaged groups. This however does not mean that goals intended for Digital Equity are without challenges. According to the report, of the 10 counties survey, including the Inland Empire (San Bernadino and R iverside County) the following estimates were provided for the populations believed to still be unconnected: Non -English Speaking (14.8%), Low Income (13.0%), Rural (10.8%), 60 or Older (9.2%), Reported Disability (8.7%), Veteran (7.7%), Women (6.6%), and Identifies as LGBTQIA+ (6.6%). The report also states that the most common deciding factor in a household’s decision to adopt broadband services is cost. The average cost of broadband services was reported at approximately $83.60/month and was noted to be in line with the average cost identified amongst most surveys, such as the FCC 2023 survey that reported an average cost of $82.40/month. The average cost of broadband services in the Inland Empire (San Bernadino and Riverside Counties) has an average cost of $85.90/month. With respect to low -income households, nearly 70% spend an estimated that 3.3% of disposable income is spent on broadband services, which is higher than the 2% recommended by the FCC.

This data makes it critical for low -income households to be aware of such programs that provide cost relief for broadband services such as the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). Of the individuals surveyed in the Inland Empire, it was found that only 27% of the households surveyed were aware of the program. Specific to the City of Chino, the following ACP data has been identified for eligible households:

Zip Code 91708 – 3% of Total Households are eligible for ACP Enrollment. Of those households 100% are currently enrolled in the program (858 Households Enrolled out of 42 Households ACP Eligible).

Zip Code 91710 – 25% of Total Households are eligible for ACP Enrollment. Of those households 100% are currently enrolled in the program (6,650 Households Enrolled out of 5,718 Households ACP Eligible).

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

By fostering increased competition among internet providers, we can achieve both improved internet service quality (with faster speeds and expanded access) and more affordable broadband options. This is essential for individuals currently lacking internet connectivity or facing inadequate access at home. As previously mentioned, most low -income households in the Inland Empire pay an average of $85.90/per 541

Consolidated Plan CHINO 93
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
month which is higher than the FCC’s reported average payment of $82.40/month. Increased competition can assist households, particularly low -income households, with achieving more affordable monthly service rates. Given that the high cost of broadband conn ectivity services is the leading cause of households not having connectivity to such services, which make increased competition beyond vital to the City of Chino and surrounding cities.

Organizations Addressing the Digital Divide
The digital divide refers to the growing gap between the underprivileged members of society, especially the poor, rural, elderly and handicapped portion of the population who do not have access to computers or the internet, and the wealthy, middle-class and young residents living in urban and suburban areas who have access. The ability to fully access the internet is creating disparity and segregation throughout the nation and can be seen not only an economic issue but also an issue of social justice. Below is a summary of actions happening at the state level and regionally to narrow the digital divide: State of California: The State of California passed Executive Order 73 -20 that will create a new State Broadband Action Plan by December 2020. The plan will serve as a road map to accelerate deployment and adoption of broadband by state and local governments, require download speeds of 100 mph cross the state, leverage the state’s contract authorities as resources to further statewide broadband access and ado ption, identify funding opportunities for broadband deployment and adoption, expand broadband infrastructure to enhance public safety and disaster response, and leverage utility infrastructure to increase access to existing fiber.

Inland Empire Regional Br oadband Consortium (IERBC): The IERBC is made up of regional government agencies, cities, non-profits, health care providers, ISPs, technology and engineering companies, schools and universities and undertakes issues regarding broadband technology access, planning, service reliability, affordability, infrastructure requirements costs and needs within San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. In November of 2014 the IERBC adopted the Broadband Infrastructure and Access Plan for the Inland Empire Region. The Act ion Plan focuses on needed capital improvement projects, programs to address underserved/disadvantaged residents, government policy improvements/best practices, advocacy efforts/grant funding for the region, economic development Broadband, Smart Region policies, programs and implementation. Through this plan it is the IERBC vision to enhance economic vitality and growth and improve the quality of life within the Inland Empire to remove the digital divide by providing a collaborative opportunity for regional broadband infrastructure, access, low internet costs, and broadband planning in the region. Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB): Is the largest affordable housing provider in San Bernardino County. As a designated Moving to Work hous ing authority designs housing and support services that promote self -sufficiency among assisted families, works to achieve programmatic efficiency and reduce costs and increases housing choice for low-income households. In February 2019,HACSB, in partnersh ip with Great Harvest Community Center, Inc., was awarded $484,830 by the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) Broadband Public Housing Account to bridge the digital divide for as many as 2,760 residents in 26 public housing locations across the county by offering digital literacy and computer -based job skills trainings.

HACSB will provide these trainings through seven Digital Literacy Centers that are available to residents of the following housing developments and members of the public: Parkside Pines, 772 Pine Street, Colton, CA/ 13088 Monte Vista Ave, Chino CA /803 W. Brockton, Redlands CA/ 421 South 7th Ave, Barstow CA/ 542

Summit Walk, 1206 West 4th Street, Ontario, CA /Sunset Vista, 755 E. Virginia Way, Barstow, CA/Sunset Pointe, 501 E. Virginia Way, Barstow, CA. Because HUD-assisted households have low connectivity rates, limited device access, and other specific barriers to Internet access, HUD -assisted housing offers a promising platform to significantly increase digital inclusion rates and improve residents’ quality of life.

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

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

Predicting precise future climate change impacts for a specific region is complex, with long -term projections inherently less certain than short-term ones. Water resource managers are already observing significant changes due to the following: Historical h ydrologic patterns are no longer reliable for future forecasting; shifting precipitation and runoff patterns increase uncertainty in water supply, flood management, and ecosystem health; and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events necessitates improved flood protection, drought preparedness, and emergency response.

Given the City of Chino's Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, climate change is projected to exacerbate existing natural hazard risks. Specifically:

Increased Wildfire Risk: Rising average temperatures and prolonged periods of drought, intensified by climate change, will significantly increase the risk of wildfires. The already hot, dry summers, where temperatures frequently exceed 100°F and humidity is low, will become even more extreme. This creates drier vegetation, acting as increased fuel for fires, and prolongs the wildfire season.

Intensified Heat Waves: The frequency and intensity of heat waves are expected to rise. More frequent days exceeding 100°F will pose significant health risks, particularly to vulnerable populations.

Enhanced Flood Risk: While annual precipitation may not drastically change, climate change is expected to increase the intensity of rainfall events. The City of Chino's winter rainfall, which often occurs in short, intense storms, could become even more extreme, leading to in creased flood risks. This is of particular concern given the existing pattern of concentrated rainfall between November and March.

Potential for Debris Flows: Following intensified wildfires, the risk of debris flows during heavy rainfall events is amplified. The loss of vegetation due to fires destabilizes slopes, making them more susceptible to erosion and mudslides during intense storms.

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

The city is exposed to a variety of local hazards, encompassing extreme heat, landslides, wildfires, flooding, windstorms, earthquakes and infectious diseases, which collectively pose a considerable risk to both commercial and residential infrastructure. O f particular concern is the heightened vulnerability of low- and moderate-income residents to these natural hazards. Although the median income for the City of Chino as of the 2020 Census hovers at approximately $103,845, there are still disadvantaged households in the community, with approximately 7.4% of the Chino’s population living in poverty. This population will have increased proximity to hazardous conditions and diminished access to resources 547

Consolidated Plan CHINO 99
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
during a natural disaster and/or state of emergency. They may also have increased risk of such negative impacts related to food scarcity, illness, housing instability, and inadequate access to other basic essential resources. Although such agencies, such a s the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has resources available in the event of such impactful climate-related events, the resources necessary for low- income households to timely recover would be nowhere near enough to provide disadvantaged households with timely relief.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
During development of the City's FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, which forms the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the Strategic Plan and five subsequent Annual Action Plans, the following priority needs, and objectives were established:

Consolidated Plan CHINO 101
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• The quantifiable five-year goal is to assist approximately 50 households (10 per year).

These Priority Needs form the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction during the next five -year period, beginning July 1, 2025 , and ending June 30, 2029. They are a result of various community outreach efforts and consultation meetings developed under the Citizen Participation process. During the course of the next five years the City anticipates receiving approximately $540,000 of CDBG annually to address the above-mentioned activities to meet the priorities and corresponding goals of the Consolidated Plan, all of which were determined to be a High Priority needs level.

All of the priorities are consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG program to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents. The City is able to provide these programs through collaboration and coordination with local nonprofit agencies that provide direct services to Chino residents. Over the next five years, the City will continue this emphasis and will also use these resources to support City sponsored programs and activities that support the goals and objectives of this Plan and to meet the worst-case needs of residents.

Identify the needs in this target area.

What are the opportunities for improvement in this target area? Are there barriers to improvement in this target area?

General Allocation Priorities
Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA)
Certain CDBG-funded activities, such as public improvements, must take place in areas that benefit neighborhoods. Code enforcement must take place in deteriorated and deteriorating areas within the low- mod income areas in the City. Other CDBG-funded activities such as public services are based on income eligibility and occur on a city-wide basis.

The basis for allocating investments reflects the results of input from the following:
• Community Services Commission public hearings held during the development of the • Consolidated Plan
• Results of the Housing and Community Development Survey • Public Consultation (homeless assistance providers, fair housing providers) • City Departments – Development Services, Community Services, and Public Works • Housing market conditions and influences
• City of Chino 2021-2029 Housing Element
• City of Chino Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice • Citizen comments on Draft Consolidated Plan
• City Council public hearing on the Draft Consolidated Plan 552

New Unit
Production
CDBG typically cannot be used for this type of activity; however, funds can be used for certain pre-development costs or off-site public improvements. The Needs Assessment and the Housing Market Analysis indicate there is a shortage of housing units affordable to lower-income households; however, due to the size of the City’s annual CDBG allocation, it is unlikely funds will be used for this purpose. A substantial amendment to the Consolidated Plan may be necessary if future funding is allocated for this type of activity.

Rehabilitation Based on the data provided in the Needs Assessment and the Market Analysis, the City’s housing stock is generally in good condition; however, there is a need for rehabilitating a portion of the City’s older housing stock. Approximately 50% of Chino’s housing stock was built prior to 1980, therefore making those tenants at risk of lead based-paint. The city understands the housing stock is in need of a range of repairs from minor to major and plans to use CDBG funding towards home improvement programs.

Acquisition,
including
preservation
According to data provided in the Needs Assessment, extremely low-income households experience severe housing cost burden. Based on this data, the City could consider utilizing housing resources to improving the City’s older residential properties as a means of expanding housing opportunities for lower income households. The City will continue to work with other agencies to acquire funding sources to acquire and preserve existing affordable housing.

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 Housing Improvement Grant Program. To supplement this Federal funding, the City has obtained CalHOME f unds in the past. The City continues to seek this funding and other potential replacement funding sources. The CDBG Program does not require a match.

Although the HOME Program requires a match, the City does not receive funding from this program.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the ne eds identified in the plan
The City owns one property that house low -income families. This single-family home has been made available to address the CDBG housing and non-housing community development needs. This property is currently vacant and in the process of being rehabilitated.

Table 52 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary

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) Homelessness prevention services, street outreach services and supportive services are available within the community as well as the highly targeted homeless community. The City of Chino does not directly provide homeless services and is not responsible for the service delivery system. San Bernardino County’s leading authority addressing the region's homeless population is the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP)
SBCHP is comprised of non - profit organizations, educational institutions, community and faith-based organizations, private industry, and federal, state and local governments. The purpose of SBCHP is to promote a strong collaboration across agencies to strategize and execute the County’s 10- Year Strategy to end chronic homelessness. The County of San Bernardino Office of Homeless Services (OHS), on behalf of SBCHP submits applications to HUD for federal Continuum of Care (CoC) assistance to administer important services to aid the homeless population in the County of San Bernardino. Additionally, the County takes the “Housing First” approach with regards to homelessness, seeking projects to assist homeless households with children to obtain Rapid Re Housing , a version of permanent supportive housing. The County also seeks projects to housing the chronic homeless population with permanent supportive housing. One method 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 561

Consolidated Plan CHINO 113
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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.

One method 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 The City also adopted zoning provisions to facilitate the development of transitional and supportive housing. Such housing is intended to help the homeless transition to permanent housing. The City of Chino has no emergency shelters, transitional housing, or permanent supportive housing located within its boundaries. Finally, while the City of Chino does not direc tly provide homeless services, SBCHP has published a Guide to Homeless Services, sharing resources to help those facing 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 As previously noted above, the City does not directly provide services to the homeless. The City does coordinate with and has contributed to homeless planning efforts.

Special needs populations in the City of Chino include: Elderly, Persons with Disabilities, Persons with Alcohol/Drug Addiction, Persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and Public Housing residents.

Services provided for the special needs population include:
• Adult Residential Facilities: There are 21 total facilities, providing residential homes for adults aged between 18- 59 with mental health care needs as well as those who have a developmental or physical disability, and prefer or require assistance with care and supervision. • Sober Living Homes: Provide a safe place for people to live while recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. There are two facilities located in cities adjacent to Chino: Rancho Cucamonga (Forward Sobriety) and Fontana (Fontana Ranch).
• Foothill AIDS Project and AIDS Healthcare Foundation: these organizations are located adjacent to Chino and provide services including food, housing, emergency financial services, transportation and medical care.
• Public Housing Units: Chino provides 50 public housing units to support those in need of housing.

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 562

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The Development Services Department continues to maintain and strengthen the existing structure for the delivery of programs and services funded by CDBG. The Department coordinates with the agencies responsible for administering a CDBG -funded activity: Development Services, Community Services, Department of Public Works as well as the public service agencies.

The City also developed the institutional structure for the delivery of housing assistance by the County of San Bernardino Housing Authority. The Housing Authority assists local residents through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and also owns 5 0 public housing units located in Chino. The City enhanced the delivery of housing assistance to Chino residents by working with the local Ontario Housing Authority Office to obtain information on Section 8 assisted families. 563

SP-50 Public Housing Accessibility and Involvement – 91.215(c) Need to Increase the Number of Accessible Units (if Required by a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement)
The City of Chino does not have a Housing Authority nor own public housing units that need to increase accessibility. The City does participate in the County’s Section 8 Housing Voucher rental assistance program that provides financial assistance to extremely- low and very low-income families. Additionally, the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino manages one 50 -unit public housing site that is located in Chino. These units house approximately 70 children, 12 seniors, 77 adults and 21 persons with disabilities. The affordable housing waitlist currently includes 798 households, of which 509 are extremely low income, showing a need for more public housing.

These public housing units have been updated in recent years with new plumbing fixtures, thermostats, windows, lighting and energy efficient water metering. Upgrades provide a substantial saving on water, energy and costs.

Activities to Increase Resident Involvements
Resident involvement is achieved through Resident Council roles, which is promoted through the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino. Resident Councils focus on improving the quality of life and resident satisfaction through self-help initiatives. Such initiatives allow residents to build a positive living environment for individuals and families living in public housing.

Is the public housing agency designated as troubled under 24 CFR part 902? No

Barriers to Affordable Housing
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment. While it is critical to have policies and ordinances that ensure the highest standards for housing, it may, at times, become a hindrance when developing housing structure s. These governmental constraints may also affect the affordability of housing in the City. They include the following:

Additionally, projects with affordable housing units may meet the California Density Bonus requirement for parking, allowing for a decrease in parking based on the number of bedrooms.

residential uses, with the exception of senior housing projects. It also prohibits the conversion of any land designated for a non -residential use to residential use, excepting school sites designated in the General Plan or in a specific plan, or developme nt agreements approved by the City Council before November 8, 1988.

Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing Participants of the City's Housing Element Outreach efforts were asked to identify barriers or constraints to the development of and access to housing within the City of Chino. The following constraints were provided: Lack of Resources, Housing availabilit y, Permit Streamlining, Access to Funding, Development Standards, and Housing Fees.

The City of Chino 2021-2029 Housing Element Housing Plan describes the specific goals, policies, and programs aimed at providing additional housing opportunities, removing governmental constraints to affordable housing, improving the condition of existing housing, and providing equal housing opportunities for all residents.

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) drafted a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) to determine the City’s share of the regional housing allocation. The RHNA quantifies the City of Chino’s local share housing needs for the region by income category. Income categories are based on the most current Median Family Income (MFI) for San Bernardino County. The City’s 2021-2029 RHNA growth need is as follows:
• 2,113 units - Very low-income (0-50% of County MFI)
• 1,284 units – Low-income (51-80% of County MFI)

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
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 int ervention 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, organiz ed 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 and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Additionally, the City has eight case managers who provide referral services, follow -up, and ongoing support for clients at no charge. Outreach is promoted at various community and promotional events.

City staff also assist children in the Chino Valley Uni fied School District who have been identified as 570

Consolidated Plan CHINO 122
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
homeless, as determined by McKinney-Vento, by helping them with minimizing 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.

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) which Community Services Homeless Outreach Coordinators and PD approach the homeless on the stree t 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 issues in the city and provide assistance. All the above information is available on the city web site and counter staff at City Hall has handouts for anyone that comes into City Hall to inquire.

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
As stated above, a Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) has recently been implemented as a new component of the City’s strategy to assist individuals/families who are at risk or face homelessness. This team intervenes quickly with the homeless population, arrangin g for emergency shelter, providing medical or mental health resources, counseling, and other interventions needed to enable a holistic approach to meet the needs of this special population.

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 571

Consolidated Plan CHINO 123
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 ass istance 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.

Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP 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. The HUD Guidelines state that all contractors must follow these procedures:
• Contain work area
• Minimize dust
• Clean up thoroughly
• Require that contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead- based paint provide to owners and occupants of child care facilities and to parents and guardians of children under age six that attend child care facilities built prior to 1978 the lead hazard information pamphlet Renovate Right: Important Lead Hazard Information for Families, Child Care Providers, and Schools.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Units built prior to 1980 hold risk of having lead -based paint hazard in them. ACS Data from 201 6-2020 demonstrates 46% (6,480 owners, 3,225 renter) of Chino’s housing stock was built prior to 1980, making them susceptible to lead based paint hazards. Whenever the City is involved in rehabilitation work, the City will provide notification, conduct a lead i nspection 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.

How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The City educates the public on the hazards of lead-based paint as part of the Home Improvement Grant process.

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families The City of Chino recognizes that a reduction in poverty will contribute to the economic well being of families and individuals. Households whose income increases above the poverty level will be able to live independent of public and private assistance. Goals, policies and programs are outlined below:

Goal: To reduce poverty level incomes below current levels by 2025. This goal will be monitored by tracking the results of the annual American Community Survey.

Policy: To continue to support and coordinate with public and private efforts aimed at preventing and reducing poverty level incomes.

Policy: To conduct outreach with public and private agencies whose mission is to reduce poverty level incomes. Agencies include House of Ruth, County of San Bernardino Housing Authority, The County’s Continuum of Care, The County of San Bernardino Office o f Homeless Services and The San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership.

Program: To support and coordinate with the organizations who directly or indirectly contribute to a reduction in poverty such as the Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino and the County of San Bernardino Housing Authority.

Program: Workforce development programs help households by providing them with jobs and training.

Programs include the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Youth Programs and Services which provides youth ages 16 -24 access to a variety of career and ed ucation services, enhancing job skills, leadership training, peer mentoring and building one's portfolio of work experiences.

De-Concentration and Income Mixing: The City’s Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (2020) discusses income mixing and de -concentrating neighborhoods high in poverty.

This strategy was introduced by the Housing Authority and includes:
• Providing free counseling to families with school age children who are located in high poverty areas and encouraging these individuals to explore housing opportunities in low poverty areas. • Offering information to prospective tenants regarding high and low poverty areas and encouraging tenants to locate in low poverty areas.

How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan
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:
574

Consolidated Plan CHINO 126
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

Introduction
For FY 2025 -2026, the City will receive an allocation of $ 585,259 in CDBG entitlement. In addition, $81,080.01 of prior year unexpended carryover is available. The available 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 u nderserved, 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.

The projects are consistent with the citizen input received during the development of the Consolidated Plan. One of the greatest challenges in meeting the 583

Consolidated Plan CHINO 135
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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. The City has a detailed list of approved Capital Improvement P rojects that demonstrate a general public need though funding is scarce. Federal funds are used to serve the target areas, meet the established goals for these funds, and to serve the greatest number of members of the community. The City will use its funds to provide First Time Homebuyer assistance, Acquisition and Rehabilitation of existing housing stock for affordable housing, preservation of affordable housing, and new construction of affordable housing. For public services, the City utilizes CDBG funds. CDBG regulations, limit the amount the City can spend on public services and is capped at 15% of the City’s annual entitlement. The City provides funding to non -profit organizations that demonstrate an ability to provide needed services that directly bene fit the residents of the City. The use of CDBG funds for public services enables non-profit organization and City Departments to leverage these funds with other funding sources for projects and activities that serve the greatest number of residents with the limited amount of funding.

Table 56 - Geographic Distribution

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Geographic distribution of funding is based on the nature of the activity to be funded. The City intends to fund activities in areas most directly impacted by the needs of low - and moderate-income residents and those with other special needs. Approximately 15 percent of the City’s CDBG allocation will be provided for public service activities, which are provided to low - and moderate-income residents throughout the community. An additional 20 percent will be allocated to Administration and Planning and a fai r housing provider. The remaining 65 percent, and any unexpended funds from the prior year will be designated for Public Facilities and Infrastructure Projects administered by the Public Works Department which take place in the primarily residential low- and moderate-income areas. As previously stated, the assignment of priority levels is primarily a result of input from public and private agencies responding to the City's Housing and Community Development Needs Survey, consultation interviews, and statisti cal data compiled from the Needs Assessment. Only eligible activities that received a High priority level in the Consolidated Plan, will be funded.

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.

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 pe rsons at risk 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 no 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 minimizing 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.

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 598

Consolidated Plan CHINO 150
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 Poli ce 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 in dividuals 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.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Forty-three (43) is Chino’s most recent count of unsheltered homeless persons according to the San Bernardino County 2024 Homeless Count and Subpopulation Survey: Final Report, January 2024. Per the Report, six (6) steps that the San Bernardino County Cont inuum 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 599

Consolidated Plan CHINO 151
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

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 team (HOT Program) which Comm unity Services staff 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 issues 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, 600

Consolidated Plan CHINO 152
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 residents 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 pe rsons 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.

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 40 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 funding to the Chino Neighborhood House, Inland Valley HOPE Partners and House of Ruth in recent program years. In the coming year, the City will continue to provide funds to these programs. Other one- year goals pertaining to homelessness are included in the narrative above, though only activities receiving funding are assigned quantifiable goals.

• Address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
• Foster and maintain affordable housing
• Reduce lead-based paint hazards
• Reduce the number of poverty-level families
• Develop institutional structure
• Enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs Actions to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs will include:
• The City will obtain data from the Housing Authority of San Bernardino County (HASBC) on the number of Section 8 households assisted by race, ethnicity, age, and disability status. The City will compare who is being served to the demographic characteristi cs of the community. In this way, the City will be able to estimate more precisely underserved populations. • The City will encourage and support the efforts of the HASBC to seek additional Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
• The City will encourage and support the efforts of non-profit housing development corporations to seek funding from federal, state, and local sources for special needs housing.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing include:
• CDBG funds in the amount of $70,000 will be expended on the rehabilitation of 10 homes/housing units.
• CDBG funds in the amount of $ 40,000 will be expended on the Code Enforcement Program to maintain health and safety in the low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. • The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino will provide rental assistance to approximately 270 extremely low- and very low-income families. • The City Council has adopted an updated Housing Element of the General Plan. The Housing Element includes a program to preserve the affordability of existing affordable housing 603

developments.

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 and/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 coordinate with the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino to increase the number of households who obtain rental assistance.
• 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.

The City will develop the institutional structure for the delivery of housing assistance by working with the County of San Bernardino Housing Authority. The Housing Authority will assist local residents through the 604

Consolidated Plan CHINO 156
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and also by providing 50 public housing units located in Chino.

The City will enhance the delivery of housing assistance to Chino residents by working with the local Ontario Housing Authority Office to obtain information on:
• Geographic distribution/concentration of Section 8 assisted housing units • Number of families enrolled in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) • Number of graduates from the FSS program
• Plans for maintenance and modernization of public housing units • Admission preferences for local residents
The City requested this information from the Housing Authority. The Housing Authority responded by indicating that voucher holder data at the census tract level was unavailable. Also, the Housing Authority has no voucher holders on the FSS program within t he City of Chino. Modernization and physical improvements have been made to the public housing units located in Chino.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
During the development of the Consolidated Plan the City consulted and coordinated with numerous agencies. The private and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies that were consulted included: American Heart Association, Assure Pregnancy C linics, Children's Fund, Inc., Chino Neighborhood House, Chino Valley Unified School District, Community Development Corp, Community Senior Services, House of Ruth, Inland Fair Housing & Mediation Board, Legal Aid Society of San Bernardino, LUPUS Foundation of America, Inc., Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity, San Bernardino Co.

Library, San Bernardino Co. Preschool Services, Chino Valley Fire Foundation and Family Service Association to name a few.

The City has developed a list of contact persons as well as a library of planning documents prepared by these agencies. The City will use the Annual Action Plan process to maintain contact with these agencies in an ongoing effort to enhance coordination.

SUBJECT

Adoption of Resolution 2025 -030 – Annual Adjustment of Development Impact Fees, Park Development Fees & Administrative Fee for Fiscal Year 2025-26. ..end

RECOMMENDATION
..recommendation
1) Conduct a duly noticed public hearing in accordance with Government Code Section 66016; 2) find that the City’s Development Impact Fee (DIF) program continues to represent the most expedient and equitable mechanism for financing the construction and imp rovement of public facilities necessitated by development; 3) adopt Resolution No. 2025 -030 authorizing: (a) the annual adjustment of DIF based on the applicable Engineering News -Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index escalator, consistent with the City’s adopted passthrough methodology; (b) the reduction of the Capital Administration Fee from 12% to 3% to reflect actual costs incurred by the City for administering the DIF program; and (c) the update of Residential Park Development Fees pursuant to the provis ions of Title 18 of the Chino Municipal Code ; and 4) authorize staff to implement the adjusted fees effective 60 days after adoption of Resolution No. 2025-30, in accordance with Government Code Section 66017. ..body

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed updates to the DIF and Residential Park Development Fees have no impact on the General Fund. These fees are restricted for infrastructure and park improvements.

However, following the recent User Fee Study, the City reallocated overhead costs to the appropriate development-related user fees. As a result, the existing 12% administrative fee on DIF collections is no longer justified. The DIF Administrative Fee will be reduced to 3%, reflecting only the direct costs of managing the DIF program.

This adjustment does not reduce overall cost recovery. It shifts overhead expenses away from DIF collections and into the user fees where those costs are incurred and assessed.

Because DIFs generate significantly higher revenue than user fees, the City expe cts a net decrease in General Fund revenue. The reduction , estimated at approximately $3 million , is reflected in the revised estimated General Fund revenue within the Fiscal Year 2025 -26 Proposed Budget, scheduled for adoption on June 17, 2025.

TITLE: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 2025 -030 - ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT OF

DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES, PARK DEVELOPMENT FEES & ADMINISTRATIVE FEE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
A Development Impact Fee (DIF) is a charge imposed by a government agency on new development to offset the cost of public infrastructure necessitated by that development. The legal framework governing DIF is established in California Government Code §§ 66000 –66025 (the “Mitigation Fee Act”), adopted in 1987. The Mitigation Fee Act requires that fees demonstrate a reasonable relationship or “nexus” between the purpose of the fee, the use of the fee, and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

The City’s first DIF program was established in 1989 by Revenue and Cost Specialists. A major update occurred in 2003 with the adoption of the Citywide DIF Nexus and Calculation Report and Master Facilities Plan (2003 Report) through Resolution No. 2003-10. In 2004, the program was expanded to cover The Preserve area with the adoption of Ordinance No. 2004 -13 and the corresponding Preserve DIF Nexus and Calculation Report and Master Facilities Pla n (2004 Report).

Following the 2010 adoption of the updated General Plan, incorporating The Preserve and College Park Specific Plans and introducing significant land use changes, the City continued applying annual adjustments using Engineering News -Record (ENR) indices. However, the need for a comprehensive update was identified. On February 6, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-068, approving the updated DIF Nexus and Calculation Report and Master Facilities Plan (2017 Report) to reflect these changes.

In 2022, the City Council approved a significant update to the 2017 Report focused on The Preserve. The update revised cost estimates for remaining infrastructure projects, reconciled DIF credits with cash contributions made by developers, and updated the Land Use Database to reflect the current inventory of undeveloped land. These changes ensured that the remaining project costs would be equitably allocated across future development, and that sufficient revenue would be collected to fund all required improvements.

Today, most of the Citywide DIF Program is built out, with limited remaining infill development potential. The Preserve, by contrast, is approximately 60% built and continues to require significant infrastructure investment, particula rly in circulation, water, sewer, and storm drain facilities. These needs have been intensified by recent construction cost escalation due to inflation.

To address these demands and maintain the integrity of the DIF program, the City is initiating a new DI F Nexus Study beginning in June 2025, with completion anticipated within 8 to 12 months. The study will evaluate several key factors affecting future development, including airport-related growth, the potential relinquishment of Euclid Avenue, and the City ’s planned acquisition and redevelopment of the 130 -acre Heman G. Stark Youth Correctional Facility located at 15180 Euclid Avenue. Redevelopment of this site is a cornerstone of the City’s long - term growth strategy and will be a central consideration in the new Nexus Study.

Concurrently, the City is updating its Sewer, Water, and Drainage Master Plans to better reflect current and future infrastructure needs. These updated plans will be incorporated into the upcoming Nexus Study, with a focus on correcting past water demand assumptions and ensuring fair and accurate cost allocation.

In the interim, it is important to note that DIF rates have not increased since July 2022. To preserve the program’s cost recovery function, the City is proposing an interim adj ustment based on the applicable ENR cost escalation indices outlined in the 2017 Report and codified in 610

Chapters 3.40 and 3.45 of the Chino Municipal Code. This pass -through adjustment aligns current fees with actual infrastructure costs as the broader Nex us Study and master planning efforts progress.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
In compliance with Government Code § 66016 and § 66018, the City provided written notice of proposed fee updates to all parties who previously requested notification. Notices were delivered via email, mail, or both to the Building Industry Association (BIA), Lewis Management Corporation (Master Developer), Southern California Edison, and the Gas Company on or before the required 14 -day noticing deadline for the June 17, 2025, public hearing. In addition, the City noticed the public hearing by publication in the Chino Champion newspaper on June 7, 2025, and June 14, 2025.

City staff met with the BIA to address concerns regarding the proposed fee adjustments. The BIA expressed specific concerns about the 12% Administrative Fee and the substantial increase in Park Development Fees within The Preserve. Following these discussions, staff provided documentation substantiating a reduction to the administrative fee and clarified that the Park Fee increase is a direct pass-through based on the standardized calculation method set forth in Title 18 of the Chino Municipal Code, as outlined below.

ANNUAL DIF ADJUSTMENT CITYWIDE & PRESERVE DIF
The 2017 Report recognizes three primary cost indices, each refl ecting different categories of construction and acquisition of goods. Since the last DIF adjustment occurred in July 2022, the City is proposing to increase both the Citywide and The Preserve DIF based on the percentage increases shown in the table below. These adjustments are consistent with the methodology outlined in the 2017 Report and codified in Chapters 3.40 and 3.45 of the Chino Municipal Code. For reference, see Resolution No. 2025-030, included as Exhibit 1, which formally adopts the updated DIF and related development fees.

In accordance with Government Code § 66000 et seq. (Mitigation Fee Act), DIFs may only be used to fund infrastructure required by new development and may not be used to address existing deficiencies. Improvements related to system maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement will be funded through other sources such as the General Fund and En terprise Funds.

TITLE: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 2025 -030 - ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT OF

DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES, PARK DEVELOPMENT FEES & ADMINISTRATIVE FEE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26.

PAGE: 4

Park Development Fees for Fiscal Year 2025–26 have been updated pursuant to Title 18 of the Chino Municipal Code, which establishes the methodology for calculating parkland acquisition and construction costs associated with new residential development.

The fees are based on the following standardized formulas:
a) Acquisition Formula:

DU × DF × 3 acres × FMV ÷ 1,000 = Acquisition Cost
b) Construction Formula:

DU × DF × 3 acres × (1.12 × FMV) ÷ 1,000 = Construction Cost (Where DU = Dwelling Units; DF = Density Factor; FMV = Fair Market Value) To support the FY 2025 –26 update, Epic Appraisals LLC completed a series of land valuation studies during Fiscal Year 2024–25. Based on the appraisals, the following Fair Market Values are being applied:
 $880,000 per acre for development outside The Preserve (General City Area)  $1,140,000 per acre for development within The Preserve Staff reviewed the appraisa l data and confirmed that these land values are appropriate for use in the FY 2025 –26 Park Development Fee calculations. It is important to note that these fees are not governed by the City’s 2017 Development Impact Fee Nexus Study but are updated independently pursuant to Title 18.

During the 14-day public comment period, the City received formal comments from the BIA) in response to the proposed 90% increase to the Park Development Fees in The Preserve. The BIA raised concerns that such a steep increase c ould discourage new housing construction, especially given current economic conditions, such as high interest rates, rising home insurance costs, and broader market uncertainty.

The BIA also noted that slowing down new residential development could make it more difficult for the City to meet its state -mandated housing goals. At the halfway point of the current housing cycle, only 13% of the City’s total Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) has been permitted, which highlights the importance of maintaini ng policies that support ongoing housing development.

Although the City’s Title 18 formula for park fees is based on the cost of a fully built and amenitized park, this standard may not match the more conventional park types typically assumed when setting fees under state law , specifically the Mitigation Fee Act . To better understand how Chino’s current fees compare, staff reviewed similar park fees in the Cities of Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and Fontana. The findings showed that Chino’s current fees are generally in line with Ontario’s, while Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana have lower fees overall.

In response to concerns raised during the public comment period, the City worked with the BIA to develop a more phased approach. As a result, the City is proposing a reduced interim increase of 11%, as shown in the table below. In parallel, the City will be updating the park fee structure through the upcoming Development Impact Fee Nexus and Calculation Report. This comprehensive update will incorporate revised land and construction cost estimates, regional comparisons, and current development trends to establish a new fee schedule. This approach allows the City to address immediate funding needs while ensuring long -term alignment with market conditions and statutory requirements. A summary of the proposed Park Development 612

Fees vary based on housing type (Single Family, Multi -Family, Mobile Home) and location (The Preserve vs. General City), reflecting differences in land values.

Administrative Fee
As part of the recently completed User Fee Study, the City captured both direct and indirect administrative overhead costs associated with general development -related activities. Direct costs include staff time, materials , consultant services, and other resources directly tied to processing development applications, permits, and inspections. Indirect costs reflect broader support services such as departmental management, IT, Finance, and facility overhead that enable these functions to operate effectively.

Given this shift, the 12% administrative surcharge currently applied to DIF collections is no longer fully warranted. Accordingly, the City proposes to reduce the DIF administrative fee from 12% to 3%. This revised rate r eflects only the staff and consultant time directly attributable to DIF-related analysis, program implementation, and administration.

The reduction to the DIF Administrative Fee does not represent a loss in cost recovery; rather, it reflects a reallocation of overhead expenses to the appropriate user fees where those costs are now fully captured. In effect, this shifts the cost burden away from DIF collections and into the individual development-related services where the overhead actually occurs. The revis ed 3% DIF Administrative Fee will take effect 60 days after City Council approval , to coincide with the implementation of the updated User Fees, pending City Council approval on June 17, 2025.

This recommendation is made in response to developer feedback r eceived in 2022 and during the recent User Fee meeting and represents a good -faith effort to align fees more accurately with actual costs. While this interim reduction addresses current concerns, a more comprehensive evaluation will be conducted during the upcoming Nexus Fee Study. That process will allow the City to refine the fee based on detailed data and ensure long -term fiscal responsibility and transparency.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JUNE 17, 2025
TITLE: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 2025 -030 - ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT OF

DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES, PARK DEVELOPMENT FEES & ADMINISTRATIVE FEE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26.

PAGE: 6

Although administrative costs will now be recovered through user fees, the change is expected to result in a net decrease in General Fund revenue, given the higher revenue typically generated by DIF collections. For Fiscal Year 2025 –26, the estimated reduction is approximately $3 million.

CONCLUSION
The proposed adjustments to the DIF, Park Development Fees, and Administrative Fee for Fiscal Year 2025 –26 is necessary to maintain the fiscal integrity and legal compliance of the City’s development financing programs. These adjustments ensure that fees remain aligned with current infrastructure costs, land valuations, and actual administrative expenditures. By implementing an interim inflation -based update in accordance with the 2017 Nexus Study and reducing the Administrative Fee to reflect true program costs, the City demonstrates a continued commitment to transparency, equity, and responsible long -range planning. Adoption of Resolution No. 2025 -030 will allow the City to sustain critical infrastructure investment as the comprehensive Nexus Study and related master plan updates move forward.
