Program Background
The Program provides, among other things, funding to assist local governments in developing and maintaining an on-going used oil and used oil filter collection/recycling program for their communities. CalRecycle developed Guidelines, which further describe eligibility, payment process, and other aspects of program administration.
Criteria and Process
The Notice of Funds Available was placed on the CalRecycle website on May 27, 2025, with an appropriate notice sent to interested parties.
Applications were due June 30, 2025, with a secondary due date of July 28, 2025, for authorizing documentation submission. CalRecycle received 185 applications and staff is recommending 184 applications for funding.

A total of 483 jurisdictions, including individual applicants and participants in regions applications, will receive funding.
Tables 2 and 3 identify the recommended applicants for OPP16 Cycle payments. Payments are calculated per capita using the Department of Finance's population statistics. Each city is eligible to receive a minimum of $5,000 or an amount calculated by CalRecycle, on a per capita basis, whichever is greater. Each county is eligible to receive a minimum of $10,000 or an amount calculated by CalRecycle, on a per capita basis, whichever is greater.
The FY 2025–26 allocated funds will be distributed by the State Controller’s Office to recipients in winter 2025 or spring 2026.

PAGE: 3
BACKGROUND
In November of 2023, the County Board of Supervisor’s Office identified the need to construct a left-turn pocket along Kimball Avenue serving access to the Threshold Aviation, a Chino Airport hangar owned by San Bernardino County. This turn-pocket was identified in conjunction with the City’s efforts to provide left -turn access into the c ommercial center located at the southeast corner of Euclid Avenue and Kimball Avenue. Through a collaborative effort, County Supervisor Curt Hagman requested the use of San Bernardino County’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) fund allocation for median impr ovements on Kimball Avenue. The funding request included the design, construction, and inspection of left -turn pockets at two locations; one to serve the Chino Airport hangar; and one to serve the commercial center.
Prior to construction of the turn pocke ts, it was brought to the County’s attention that additional work on the airport property is required for the Chino Airport hangar property to properly utilize the requested left-turn pocket. To allow this movement, additional grading and repaving of the County owned property was required . The County also requested the scope be expanded to include removal of existing striping by sandblasting, application of a slurry seal treatment, and restriping of the customer parking area.
The County was not able to procure a contractor to complete the on -site work and therefore approached the City to perform additional work on their behalf . To facilitate this request, the County entered into a Cooperative Reimbursement Agreement with the City of Chino on May 20, 2025, for a not to exceed amount of $163,735.
Following execution of the Cooperative Reimbursement Agreement, the City solicited informal bids for the approved scope of work for Project R7250 in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Ordinance. On December 18 , 2025, the City entered into a contract with Superior Paving Company Inc., DBA United Paving Co., in the amount of $120,776.50. The work included on‑site grading, asphalt paving, slurry seal, and striping within the hangar parking lot.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
All work has been completed per the terms of the original construction contract and approved change orders. Two change orders were issued for this project. Change Order No. 1 revised the scope of work to include the application of cement -treated base mater ial to existing soil, ensuring adequate subgrade compaction within the regraded parking lot . Change Order No. 2 serves as the final balancing change order, reconciling quantity adjustments to reflect the actual work completed. On March 31, 2026, Public Wor ks staff along with a San Bernardino C ounty representative, completed a joint site walk of the project. Both teams verified that the completed work satisfactorily addressed their shared project requirements and expectations.
Superior Paving Company Inc. DBA United Paving Co. has complied with the terms of the contract. A Notice of Completion has been prepared for filing with the San Bernardino County Recorders Office. The retention funds will be released 30 days after recording.

These conveyances have served as a convenient source of storm water disposal for several years, generally leading storm water runoff to the Prado Basin. The majority of existing storm drain facilities are based on a drainage master plan study prepared in 1966 for the San B ernardino County Flood Control District. In 1993, the City implemented a hydrological analysis of the master plan study area to reevaluate the existing drainage systems and develop a more up -to-date Master Plan of Drainage (MPD).
In 1998, the MPD was revised to include Subarea 1, which identified capacity expansion due to the addition of 11.25 square miles in the southwest area of the City. The study area was encompassed by Kimball Avenue to the north, Euclid Avenue to the east, Prado Basin to the south and Chino Creek to the west. Impacts to the land -use changes from solely agricultural to the combination of agricultural and industrial land developments were reanalyzed for several major segments of the City’s western storm drain system.
In 2003, the MPD w as revised again to include Subarea 2 “The Preserve ,” which identified capacity expansion needs due to the addition of 8.5 square miles in the southeast area of the City. The study area was defined by Ontario (New Model Colony area) to the north, Riverside County to the south and east, and Euclid Avenue to the west. Impacts to the land -use changes from the agricultural and open space to the combination of mixed land development use were reanalyzed for several major segments of the City’s eastern storm drain system. Drainage basin areas were added and redefined from the Chino Airport Master Plan and Ontario’s New Model Colony Drainage Master Plan.
In 2004 and 2007, two unofficial amendments to the MPD were prepared to update the ultimate build-out of The Pre serve area. In 2022, the MPD for Subarea 2 “The Preserve” was further amended to reflect the updated drainage areas in the Preserve.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
A comprehensive citywide update to the Master Plan of Drainage h as not occurred since 1993.
The MPD Update (MS251) will include a thorough evaluation of capacity deficiencies in the City’s storm drain system and determine the necessity, size, and location of future storm drains.
The MPD Update will analyze the current conditions along with one -hundred percent land - use/built-out conditions of the watershed including the Sphere of Influence (SOI). The update will also address environmental compliance requirements provided by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Trash Amendment Policy for inlet improvements in Priority Land Use areas.
On February 5 , 202 6, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP No. 202 6-0002) for preparing the “Master Plan of Drainage Update ” via PlanetBids, in accordance with City procurement policies. The City received 4 proposals by the closing date of March 12, 2026. A review committee, consisting of City staff, evaluated proposals separately to maintain confidentiality and fairness.

This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices.

If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

01225.0001/863604.2 17
to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim.

7.9 Termination for Default of Consultant.
If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.10 Attorneys’ Fees.

BACKGROUND
On January 2 6, 202 6, the Community Services, Parks and Recreation (CSPR) Commission (“Commission”) received presentations from applicants seeking Public Service grant funding.
Following the presentations, the Commission sub -committee conducted a comprehensive review of all applications on February 12, 2026, ranking and prioritiz ing proposals and developing p reliminary funding recommendations based on established evaluation criteria , including consistency with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD) national objectives, alignment with the City’s N eeds Assessment, and t he provision of unduplicated services.
On February 23, 2026, the Commission sub-committee presented its recommendations to the full Commission. The Commission a pproved the recommendations (Exhibit 1) following review and discussion and recommended them to City Council for consideration.
Capital Improvement Project applications were reviewed by City staff using the same criteria.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The primary objective of the CDBG program is to create viable urban communities through adequate housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities , principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The FY 2026–27 CDBG Annual Action Plan outlines the City’s proposed use of its annual allocation of $570,458.
Exhibit 1 summarizes the Commission’s funding recommendations, including allocation of 15% of total funds to public service programs and 65% to capital improvement projects, consistent with staff recommendations.
Tonight’s Public Hearing satisfies HUD’s Citizen Participation requ irements for the adoption of the FY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan. A 30-day public review period, held from March 7, 2026, through April 9, 2026, provided an opportunity for community input. No written comments were received. Following adoption, the Action Plan will be submitted to HUD for review and approval.

Executive Summary
AP-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 C ommunity Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds annually. The Consolidated Plan is designed to help 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 develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for pe rsons 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. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.
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. 367

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 living environment, and expanding economic opportunities princip ally 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.
3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.
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 368
Annual Action Plan
2026

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 leverage d resources and will evaluate funding with CDBG should funds become available.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan.
On December 11, 2025, the city published a Notice of Funding Availability (NoFA) for the FY 2026 -2027 CDBG program in the Chino Champion. This notice was also posted on the City's website and emailed to local and regional public -service providers; includin g providers that received CDBG funding during the current fiscal year. The Notice was also posted on the city’s social media pages.
Applications were accepted until the deadline of January 6, 2026; a total of eleven (11) applications ( 8 Public Service, 2 Administration, and 1 - Capital Improvement Projects -Housing) were received.
On January 26, 2026, the Community Services Parks & Recreation Commission observed presentations from public services applicants seeking Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for FY 2026 - 2027. The purpose of public hearing was to review comments on the needs, priorities, CDBG funding, past performance, and allow the CDBG applicants to present information on their applications for funding.
The CDBG Sub -Committee completed a comprehensive evaluation of public service applications. Each application was assessed for HUD eligibility and rated based on criteria identified in the application, including consolidated plan priority; the benefit to Chino residents, project viability/readiness to perform, and the longevity of each project.
A notice was published in the Chino Champion on February 19, 2026, announcing the availability of the draft Annual Action Plan for a 30 -day public review and comment period beginning March 2, 2026, and ending April 2, 2026.

Identify any Agency Types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting During the preparation of this FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, the City consulted with all agencies that could provide valuable input to the development of the Plan. The City further coordinated with each agency that applied for CDB G funds in an effort to determine need and develop annual goals and objectives relative to both of these City planning documents. Time and financial resources limit the ability to consult with all possible agencies serving residents, though a focused effo rt is made each year to expand on these efforts.

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 funds 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 publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The City owns one property that houses low-income families. This single-family home has been made available to address the CDBG housing and non-housing community development needs.

Introduction
For FY 2026 -2027, the City will receive an estimated allocation of $570,458 in CDBG entitlement. In addition, an estimated $305,450 of prior year unexpended funds will be available for carryover. 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 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.

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 8 - 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 i n 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 fair 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 Wor ks 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, consultati on interviews, and statistical data compiled from the Needs Assessment. Only eligible activities that received a High priority level in the Consolidated Plan, will 398

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

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 parties involved to meet the needs of homeless persons and those 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. The city is also in the implementation phase of providing extended case management services and rental assistance to these families. This enhancement to services will be funded utilizing State Permanent Local Housing Allocations (PLHA) funding which will continue on a long -term basis. City staff distribute care packages to the identified students and also provide referrals to mental or 403

2026

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 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 facil ities 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 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 404
Annual Action Plan
2026
39 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Homelessness and are also aligned with several evidence -based and best practices that have helped achieve unprecedented decreases in the total number of homeless persons, particularly among families, chronic -homeless persons, and veterans, across the country since 2005 include:
1. Encourage each city to adopt their unsheltered homeless count numbers as baseline numbers
2. Completely align with a Housing First model and low-barrier approach for chronically homeless individuals and families
3. Completely align with a rapid rehousing and low -barrier approach for non chronically homeless individuals and families.
4. Align the current homeless services delivery system with a goal of ending homelessness among unaccompanied women by 2025.
5. Increase the Number of Permanent Supportive Housing Units.
6. Increase Rapid Rehousing Assistance
The City will continue to coordinate with County efforts to end homelessness.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the peri od of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City recently adopted zoning provisions to facilitate the development of transitional and supportive housing. The City supports the efforts of the San Bernardino County Interagency Council on Homelessness to help individuals make the transition to perm anent housing and independent living. Additionally, the City supports new strategies such as the Housing First Model and Rapid Re -housing to house homeless persons.
Community Services staff (Case Managers/Supervisors) attend meetings at the Office of Homeless Services. The city has partnered with a few organizations to address the city’s homeless issues. The Police Department has formed a 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 are 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 have 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 have handouts for 405

anyone that comes into city hall to inquire.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.
Rental assistance is a component of the City’s strategy to prevent homelessness by individuals and families who are at risk of homelessness. The City administers a Rental Security Deposit, Rental Payment and Utility Payment Assistance Program to assist 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.
In addition, the City’s fair housing provider assisted homeowners in jeopardy of losing their housing. They mediated landlord/tenant complaints and worked with the tenant in formulating a plan, such as a rent repayment plan, and mediated with the landlord in accepting the terms so that the tenant was not evicted.
The City of Chino does not receive funding from Federal sources that require the implementation of supportive housing programs for persons returning from mental and physical health institutions.
California law requires hospitals/regional hospital associations to have protocols for homeless patients.
The Hospital Association of Southern California, National Health Foundation, and Illumination Foundation's Recuperative Care Program must provide post -hospital healthcare services to homeless patients moving from acute care. Services include housing location assistance, residential medical and social support. The San Bernardino County 10 -Year Strategy to End Homelessness recommends the formalizing of discharge planning protocols and improved coordination among the different agencies with discharge responsibilities.
Discussion
The City’s priority is to assist families with children who are at risk of becoming homeless. The specific annual objective is to assist 1,200 people/families through the Chino Neighborhood House Food Assistance Program and Inland Valley HOPE Partners. Additionally, approximately 40 people will be assisted by the House of Rut h, 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 406
