1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting The City of Clovis provided several opportunities for residents to participate in the planning and drafting of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. Community members also had the opportunity to provide feedback on the goals, strategies, and Action Plan that will guide Clovis' CDBG Program over the next Consolidated Plan period through various surveys, public meetings, and a public hearing.
The City conducted a Community Needs Survey (CNS) from October to December 2025. The CNS was published various times throughout this period, and in local media and public spaces to invite robust community feedback. Staff also shared the CNS door-to-door in lower income neighborhoods of the City. Staff knocked on doors and was successful in speaking directly to various members of the Clovis community. Staff also left door hangers at over 375 homes, 5 mobile home parks and 5 apartment complexes, all in lower income neighborhoods of the City.
The CNS incorporated forty questions that gauged community feedback regarding priorities in regards to housing and community development needs. Questions included community prioritizing for social services, public infrastructure, economic development/education, transit and housing. A total of thirtysix (36) responses were received. This critical community feedback was utilized to inform the prioritizing of goals and strategies for the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan.
City staff also conducted targeted community outreach to specific community organizations serving lowincome neighborhoods and residents, public housing residents, youth, seniors, homeless, veterans, disabled, non-English speaking and other disadvantaged populations. Individual emails were sent to the leaders of these organizations. Nine responses were received, and included critical input that has helped inform the development of this Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan.
The City of Clovis conducted two separate public input meetings and one public hearing. The public input meetings were held on January 6, 2026 and January 27, 2026. The public notification for these two meetings was on December 12, 2025 and December 29, 2025, respectively. The public hearing was noticed on April 3, 2026 for a public hearing on May 4, 2026. The notice included information about the locations at which the Consolidated Plan would be available for review and public comment and also identified the public hearing date of May 4, 2026. The notice was also published in the Business Journal and Fresno Bee in English, Spanish, and Hmong.
Notices of the public meetings were posted at the following locations:
• Clovis City Hall: 1033 Fifth Street, Clovis, CA 93612 • Clovis Senior Center: 735 Third Street, Clovis, CA 93612 • Clovis Transit Center: 785 Third Street, Clovis, CA 93612

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The housing needs section provides a description of housing needs for the City of Clovis. Although the needs assessment analyzes the housing needs of all income categories, the Consolidated Plan will focus mainly on Clovis residents earning at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). The City has undertaken demographic and housing market research using the U.S. Census Bureau, 2019-2024 5-Year American Community Survey (ACS), and a special tabulation of the ACS data known as Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data that estimates the number of households with one or more housing needs. The Housing Needs and Market Analysis sections of the Plan were completed to provide a detailed analysis of affordable housing needs in Clovis, including housing gaps for owners and renters.
Through a comprehensive exploration of housing needs in Clovis, two major issues were identified relative to affordable housing: 1) There is a shortage of affordable housing stock; and 2) Seniors, small families, and persons with low incomes have significant housing problems and cost burdens. The following summary of key findings gives an overview of the needs assessment results, with further detail included in each corresponding section of the Needs Assessment.

NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a, b, c) Summary of Housing Needs
According to the American Community Survey 5-year estimates, between the years 2014 and 2024, the population of the City of Clovis increased 26.2% while the median income rose 13.5% during this same time period.
Demographics Base Year: 2014 Most Recent Year: 2024 % Change Population 98,815 124,725 26.2%

Table 5 - Housing Needs Assessment Demographics
Data Source: 2024 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates Population by Age:
The 2024 5-year American Community Survey estimated data below shows the number of residents in Clovis by age range. Over the past 10 years, the Clovis population has been trending older. The median age in 2014 was 33.7 and the median age in 2024 is two years older at 36.0, a 6% increase in median age. The percentage of children under the age of 9 has decreased, indicating that either adults are choosing to have smaller families or no children. There has also been a 32.5% decline in the 20 to 24- year-old bracket. Presumably this could be because individuals at this age often seek out higher education and job opportunities in other areas. This could be concerning if these individuals leave the community for opportunities and then not return home. The largest increase in age groups is the 65 to 74 years old bracket, which is traditionally the retiree age group. With its mostly warm and temperate climate, Clovis attracts many older adults looking for year-round outdoor opportunities. However, as adults age, they often have unique challenges and needs, especially when it comes to housing, health care and social services.

Housing Problems
HUD provides the Housing Problems Tables which show households with Housing Problems by tenure and income range. These tables are created using 2018-2022 HUD CHAS data. Housing problems are defined by HUD for the Consolidated Plan as:
1. Housing unit lacks complete kitchen facilities
2. Housing unit lacks complete plumbing facilities
3. Overcrowding (1.01–1.5 persons per room)
4. Severe overcrowding (greater than 1.5 persons per room)
5. Cost burden (households paying between 50% and 30% of their income for housing)
6. Severe cost burden (households paying 50% or more of their income for housing) According to 2018-2022 American Community Survey data, there are a total of 40,135 occupied housing units. Of these 40,135 housing units, 26,697 (66.5%) are owner-occupied while 13,438 (33.5%) are renter-occupied housing units.
The table above shows 67.6% (9,085) of renter occupied housing in Clovis had housing problems in 2022 compared to 20.4% (5,455) of owners. Of those renters with housing problems, the largest number (5,205) have housing cost burden greater than 30% of income. More renters than owners have substandard housing, which includes lack of complete plumbing or kitchen facilities.

Overcrowding Introduction
Overcrowding is also most prevalent in single family renter households with lower incomes.
Overcrowding often occurs when a low-income household must rent or own a home smaller than they need because the monthly housing cost is lower than larger homes.
Renters with an AMI between 50-80% (225 or 24.9%) of all households make up the largest sub-category of overcrowded households in Clovis. Out of the 909 total households living in crowded conditions, the majority are single-family renters (615 or 67.7%). Overcrowding often occurs when a low-income household must rent or own a home smaller than they need due to cost burden.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
The category “other” in the housing problem tables above include single person households and households of unrelated individuals. Of this category, Clovis does not collect specific data on singleperson households nor is this data provided by HUD in the eCon Planning Suite. To estimate the number of single-person households in need of housing assistance, data was gathered from the American Community Survey (2020-2024). Data indicates that there are 4,496 single person owner-occupied housing units and 3,965 single-person renter-occupied housing units in Clovis. Applying an estimate of the number of lower-income households from an earlier table, it is estimated that there are 1,175 lowincome (0-80% AMI) single-person owner-occupied households and 1,035 low-income single-person renter-occupied households.
As a single person household, that individual is solely responsible for their rent or mortgage. If the individual was to lose their job for whatever reason, they could lose their ability to continue paying for their housing. This potentially places them at a higher risk of housing instability and may need access to housing vouchers and homeless services.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
According to the 2024 5-Year ACS Data, there are 14,488 (11.7%) residents living in Clovis with a disability. Of the 14,488 people with a disability in Clovis, the following is the most common types of disability as defined by the American Community Survey:
• 4,483 (3.6%) with a hearing difficulty
• 3,073 (2.5%) with a vision difficulty
• 5,756 (5.0%) with a cognitive difficulty
• 6,314 (5.4%) with an ambulatory difficulty
• 3,992 (2.6%) with a self-care difficulty
• 5,027 (5.7%) with an independent living difficulty
Please note that a person may have more than one disability and may be counted more than once in the data above. The most common assistance needed for households with a disabled household member are housing accessibility modifications, access to public transportation, and rent restrictions to reduce household housing costs.
Domestic violence is a vicious cycle of power and control that includes (but is not limited to) isolation, physical assault, verbal abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and financial abuse; the long-term effects of which can often lead victims to experience depression, anxiety, fear, homelessness, unemployment and financial instability. The Marjaree Mason Center (MMC) provides critical services and housing to survivors of domestic violence that strives to address these needs of domestic violence survivors.
Unfortunately, rates of domestic violence continue to rise each year, and Fresno County consistently maintains one of the highest rates per capita of reported domestic violence calls to law enforcement in
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 32
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
the state. In 2024, there were 446 domestic violence calls to the Fresno County Sheriff Office. Last year, MMC provided services to 7,656 individuals (including 6,536 adults and 1,120 children) and 76,535 nights of safe shelter to survivors of domestic violence. More than 38% of the children served last year were between the ages of 0 to 5 years old. MMC estimates that the number of persons requiring assistance will only continue to rise each year.
Information regarding households receiving assistance through the Housing Choice Vouchers program, that include disabled household members and/or are victims of domestic violence, is included in further detail in NA-35, Public Housing. There are currently approximately 26,000 persons on the waiting list for the Housing Choice Voucher program, including victims of domestic violence and disabled individuals.
What are the most common housing problems?
Housing problems, as defined by HUD include:
1. Housing unit lacks complete kitchen facilities
2. Housing unit lacks complete plumbing facilities
3. Overcrowding (1.01–1.5 persons per room) or Severe overcrowding (greater than 1.5 persons per room)
4. Cost burden (households paying between 50% and 30% of their income for housing) or Severe cost burden (households paying 50% or more of their income for housing) The most common housing problems experienced by Clovis households are cost burden and severe cost burden. Housing costs in Clovis and the surrounding areas are higher than the price affordable to many low, very low, and extremely low-income households, and many low and extremely low households are getting priced out of rental and for-sale units.
Low vacancy rates and rising costs of rent make it difficult for renters to find housing, especially housing with lower rents. Households with moderate, low, and extremely low-income are less able to pay for current housing prices than those with higher incomes. See Section MA-15 Housing Market Analysis for more information on the cost of housing in Clovis.
The next most common housing problem outside of cost burden is overcrowding. Overcrowding is often the result of housing affordability. Larger households maybe live in small units as they are often more affordable than adequate sized housing.
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Renters are disproportionately affected by housing problems than homeowners. The table above shows that 68.7% (9,235) of low-to moderate-income households have at least one housing problem compared to 21.9% (5,700) of low- to moderate-income owner-occupied households. Cost burden (greater than 30% of income) and severe cost burden (greater than 50% of income) are the two housing problems that impact households the most. Small related households and elderly households for both renters and owners have the highest incidence of cost burden in Clovis. Persons living on fixed income, such as
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 33
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
seniors and/or persons with disabilities, are also more affected by rising housing costs and less inventory of affordable rental units.
Additionally, due to cost burden, households, especially large families, may live in smaller housing units due to affordability. This may lead to overcrowding. Of the 909 households living in crowded conditions (Table 11), the majority are single-family renters (615 or 67.7%). Renters with an AMI between 50-80% (225 or 24.9%) make up the largest category. Renters have a much higher incidence of cost burden than owner households. Persons living on fixed incomes, especially seniors and/or those with disabilities, are also more affected by rising housing costs and less inventory of affordable rental units due to their mostly flat incomes.
Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance Households with severe cost burden and those with more than one family living in a unit are at higher risk of becoming unsheltered and homeless. According to 2022 HUD CHAS data, there were a total of 1,235 renter households at 0–30% AMI and 1,315 renter households at 31–50% AMI with severe cost burden in Clovis. Households who fall behind in rent payments may find it difficult to find a less costly rental unit within Clovis due to the low vacancy rate and rising rent.
In Clovis, renters are more likely to have households with children (67.7%) than owners (48.1%).
Additionally, older adults are one of the fastest growing demographic groups at-risk of being homeless due to fixed incomes, increasing housing costs and increased medical needs. The same can be said for persons with disabilities and families with members that are from either one or both special needs groups. Large families that are also within the extremely low-income (0-30% AMI) category are also at a very high risk of homelessness due to the higher cost of housing with more rooms.
LMI individuals and families with children who are currently housed, but at risk of experiencing housing instability need access to housing subsidy payments, such as Housing Choice Vouchers and Tenant Based Rental Assistance. Access to social services such as job training, childcare, food assistance, and behavioral health counseling are critical in providing the necessary tools to sustain their permanent housing.

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:
The City of Clovis does not provide estimates of any specific at-risk populations. The assessment of atrisk populations in this report is based on American Community Survey (ACS) and CHAS data using HUD definitions for household types and housing problems.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
Housing cost and housing availability are the two housing characteristics most linked to housing instability in Clovis. As the cost of living and housing continues to rise in Clovis and Fresno County, more households may become at risk for homelessness.

Introduction
Households that spend between 30-50 percent of their annual household income on housing costs are considered cost burdened while households that spend over 50 percent of their annual household income on housing costs are considered severely cost burdened.
Of the total jurisdiction, 15.4% or 5,951 of households are considered cost burdened. Black / African American households experience cost burden at a higher percentage (25.4% or 295) followed by Hispanic (18.2%), and Asian (14.6% or 390) households. Of the White households in Clovis, only 13.8% or 3,130 households experience cost burden.
Of the total jurisdiction, 13.4% or 5,190 of households are severely cost burdened. Pacific Islanders (44.4% or 20), American Indian/Alaska Native (32.5% or 65), and Hispanic (14.5% or 1,545) households are more likely to be severely cost burdened than other races in Table 21 below.

Discussion:
Black/African American, Asian, and Hispanic households have the highest percentage of households that are cost-burdened in Clovis while Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Hispanic households have higher percentages of severely cost burdened households. The two demographics with the lowest reported median income are those that identify as Black or African American ($59,114) and some other race ($75,625). The two demographics with household income above the median ($99,241) identify as Asian ($122,604) followed by households that identify as White ($100,827).
It is recommended that households spend no more than 30% of their income on housing. For a Black/African American household earning the median income of $59,114 that equates to approximately $1,477.85 per month for housing costs. A study1 conducted by Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. in 2025, found that the effective rent for all rental units in 2025 was $1,566. For newer units built since 2000, the effective rent is higher at $2,078, indicating a 33% premium above overall average rents. This means that a household earning the median income may be paying more towards housing costs, which results in them being classified as cost burdened. This also indicates that these households might have less income to spend on food, clothing, gas, medical care, and/or basic needs. 1 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. was hired by the City of Clovis to conduct a feasibility study related to the introduction of a Mixed Income Zoning Ordinance that will be presented for City Council review in spring 2026.

Extremely low income (0-30% AMI) households and persons of color households are more likely to have a disproportionate housing need than in other income group or racial/ethnic groups with the exception of very low-income White households. Households with persons of color that are affected are shown below, by income range.
• 0-30% AMI – Black/African American, American Indian Alaska Native, and Hispanic households • 30-50% AMI – White, Asian, and Hispanic households
• 50-80% AMI – American Indian Alaska Native, Asian, and Black/African American households • 80-100% AMI – Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and White households Black/African American, Hispanic, and Asian households are more likely to experience cost burden (over 30% on housing costs) while Pacific Islanders, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Hispanic households are more likely to experience severe cost burden (over 50% on housing costs).
If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? No other needs have been identified.
Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community?
Hispanic and White households form a majority of the population in Clovis. The Hispanic population has higher concentrations in the southwestern part of the city, and the White population has higher concentrations in the central, northwest and northeast parts of the city (see Maps 1-5 in Appendix Maps and below). The southeast part of Clovis is relatively mixed of the different race groups. Map 4 shows owner-occupied housing units with one or more housing conditions by census tract. The dark purple shows census tracts where one in three (32.92% or more) owner-occupied housing units have at least one housing problem. Map 5 shows renter-occupied housing units with one or more housing conditions by census tract. Dark purple represents census tracts where two in three (62.5% or more) renteroccupied housing units have at least one housing condition.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units:
The City of Clovis is served by Fresno Housing, which is the designated Fresno County Housing Authority.
Fresno Housing does not have any public housing units in Clovis, but it does have two affordable housing developments, Solivita Commons, which contains 20 project-based housing vouchers, and Butterfly Gardens, which contains 93 project-based vouchers. As with many public assistance programs, the funding does not meet the demand. Fresno Housing currently has approximately 26,000 persons on their waiting list for Housing Choice Vouchers. They are currently not taking applications due to the length of the current waiting list. The City will continue to support the development of new affordable housing, especially accessible units, in Clovis where housing vouchers and other housing assistance programs can be used.
What are the number and type of families on the waiting lists for public housing and section 8 tenant-based rental assistance? Based on the information above, and any other information available to the jurisdiction, what are the most immediate needs of residents of public housing and Housing Choice voucher holders?
The Fresno Housing Authority waiting list for the county-wide Housing Choice Voucher program is 26,000 persons. Fresno Housing last opened the interest list in 2023 for approximately 30 days, but due to funding shortfalls, no additional persons were assisted. For Solivita Commons, which is located in Clovis, there are 2,363 persons on the interest list.
The most pressing need is the high demand for affordable housing throughout the city. Housing costs in Clovis and Fresno County have increased in recent years while many wages have remained stagnant resulting in more households becoming cost burdened. Many households are “one paycheck away from a housing crisis.” Housing vouchers often come with stigma, which results in some landlords not wanting to rent to voucher holders even though California law prohibits landlords from discriminating based on source of income.
Beyond the need for affordable housing, residents also need additional access to service programs such as:
• Job training and education
• Childcare
• Transportation
• Food and basic needs
• Youth and adult recreation activities
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 55
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The City of Clovis does not currently run or operate any public housing units. However, the needs experienced by current voucher holders in Clovis are similar to the needs of extremely low- and very low-income households in Clovis.
Discussion
While the City of Clovis does not own or operate public housing or voucher programs in Clovis, it will continue to partner with Fresno Housing to support the development of new affordable housing in the city. Additionally, during the upcoming Consolidated Plan period, City staff will host workshops and provide informational flyers to rental property owners in Clovis to encourage their participation in the Housing Choice Voucher program thereby increasing voucher holder’s accessibility to housing in Clovis.

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205 ( c )
Introduction:
The City of Clovis is a member of the Fresno-Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC). The FMCoC is a collaborative partnership with the City of Fresno and Clovis, the County of Fresno, the County of Madera, the Fresno Housing Authority, and other FMCoC service provider entities. The FMCoC is responsible for facilitating coordinated, unduplicated, and seamless services for the community’s unhoused population, which includes homeless prevention activities, outreach and assessment, emergency housing, transitional housing, wraparound supportive services, and ensuring the availability of supportive permanent and affordable housing.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires communities to regularly administer surveys of the local homeless population and homelessness response system: the Point-inTime (PIT) count. The PIT is a census of the sheltered and unsheltered population on a single night in January. The PIT count is conducted in both Fresno and Madera counties and specific data for the jurisdictional boundary of the City of Clovis is not differentiated from data for the County of Fresno.
The 2023 Point In Time (PIT) Count was completed on January 24, 2023 only for the unsheltered population. The 2024 Point In Time (PIT) Count was completed on January 30, 2024 only for the sheltered population. Data in this section includes unsheltered persons data from 2023, and sheltered persons data from 2024. A total of 1,357 sheltered persons, and 2,758 unsheltered were counted in Fresno County.
The FMCOC conducted an unsheltered PIT Count in January 2025, and January 2026. Neither the final 2025 nor 2026 PIT Count are available currently. The preliminary 2025 PIT Count data available indicated that there was an approximately 9% increase in homelessness in Fresno and Madera counties compared to the 2023 PIT Count. The FMCoC is still awaiting final approval from HUD to finalize the 2025 PIT Count data.
Although there are no general population homeless shelters within the City of Clovis, Clovis is home to an emergency site for survivors of domestic violence which is operated by the Marjaree Mason Center (MMC). In the Clovis Shelter, clients can stay for up to 24 months. Regardless, the typical stay averages 12 months, before a family exits into permanent housing. The house includes 7 rooms and 24 beds, however, because MMC does not combine households some beds may be empty if the individual family size is smaller. Currently MMC averages one adult and one child per household. MMC services approximately seven households (with 14 individuals) per year.

City of Clovis-specific data is not available. In Fresno County, there were 447 persons in a family who were identified as homeless in the 2024 PIT data provided by HUD. Of the 447 persons in families, 88.1% (394) were sheltered while 53 persons were unsheltered. There were 48 chronically homeless families and it is estimated that 114 families experience homelessness each year in Fresno County.

In 2024, there were 211 homeless veterans. Only 19.8% (42) were sheltered while 170 veterans were unsheltered. It is estimated that 974 veterans experience homelessness in Fresno County.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.
As seen in the Nature and Extent of Homelessness chart above, the highest percentage of homeless, both sheltered and unsheltered, individuals is Hispanic (37.8%) and White (36.3%).
Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.
As seen in the Nature and Extent of Homelessness chart above, sheltered homeless represents 30.8% (1,229) of the homeless population in Fresno County. There are over twice as many unsheltered homeless (69.2% or 2,758) as there are sheltered homeless people.
Discussion:
The PIT indicates a growing number of persons experiencing homelessness in Fresno County. There continues to be a great need for all types of housing and services for the homeless, including emergency, transitional and permanent supportive housing.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction
The following section addresses the needs of special populations and service needs they might require.
The special needs populations considered in this section include:
• Elderly households
• Persons with disabilities
• Large households
• Female head-of-households
• Farm or migrant workers
• Persons living with AIDS/HIV and their families
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
Elderly Households: HUD defines elderly as age 62 and older and a frail elderly person as someone who requires assistance with three or more activities of daily living, such as eating, bathing, walking, and performing light housework. Elderly residents may experience a unique set of housing needs, largely due to physical limitations, lower household incomes, and the rising costs of health care. Housing affordability remains the primary issue for seniors, many of whom are living on fixed incomes. The demand for affordable senior housing will likely increase as the baby boomers and generation X continue to age. Due to rising housing costs, many seniors are choosing to stay in their homes longer and age in place. According to the 2020-2024 ACS Data, 13.8% of Clovis’ residents are elderly.
Persons with Disabilities: HUD defines disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities for an individual. Persons with disabilities can face unique barriers to securing affordable housing that provides them with the accommodations they need.
Persons with disabilities may require units equipped with wheelchair accessibility or other special modifications that accommodate physical or sensory limitations. Access to transit, health care, social services, and shopping also are important factors for the population. According to the 2020-2024 ACS data, 11.7% of Clovis’ residents have a disability.
Large Households: HUD defines large households as those with five or more people. Large households may face challenges finding adequately sized affordable housing. This may cause large families to live in overcrowded conditions and/or overpay for housing. According to the 2018-2022 CHAS data, there are 5,255 large households in Clovis.
Female Head-of-Households: Female-headed households with children may have unique housing needs such as ease of access to childcare, health care, and other supportive services. According to the 2020- 2024 ACS data, single-parent, female head-of-households with children under age 18 accounted for
6.1% or 2,863 of all Clovis’ households.
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 62
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Migrant or Farmworkers: Due to the migrant and seasonal nature of farm-working, it is difficult to estimate the population size or characteristics. The 2022 USDA Agricultural Census estimates approximately 40,180 year-round or seasonal farmworkers in Fresno County. Fresno Housing manages 194 units of seasonal farmworker housing for migrant farmworkers.
Persons Living with AIDS/HIV and their Families: See narrative response below.
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
Many at-risk populations in Clovis need affordable housing and some may need affordable housing with supportive services. Additionally, persons with a disability may need housing that can accommodate their seen or unseen disability.
The city of Clovis is geographically adjacent to the city of Fresno and has witnessed substantial growth in the last five years. Clovis now has many of the same services that previously were only found in Fresno, including social services, behavioral health, public health services, medical services, schools, grocery stores etc. Transportation can often be a barrier for persons seeking services if the service site is not located near their home or easily accessible by public transportation. The City of Clovis provides free fixed route buses that run every 30 minutes from Monday through Friday that connect residents to service centers throughout Clovis and to the Fresno Area Express (FAX) bus routes that provide linkages to services available in the city of Fresno.
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) AIDSVu Surveillance Data, there were 296 people per 100,000 living with HIV in Fresno County in 2023 (AIDSVu Rate of Persons Living with HIV per 100,000, 2023. https://map.aidsvu.org/prev/county/rate/none/none/usa?geoContext=national).
While data is only available at the national level, data shows that Black individuals were diagnosed with HIV at a rate 8.4 times higher than White individuals and Hispanic/Latino individuals were diagnosed 5.2 times higher than White individuals in 2023 (AIDSVu. Racial/Ethnic Disparities and HIV in the United States. https://map.aidsvu.org/race-profile/nation/usa/overview). It is unknown how many people living with HIV/AIDS live in Clovis. Housing needs for person with HIV/AIDS often include subsidized housing units and medical and mental health case management services.
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 benefits and services received by such persons.

NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs - 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities:
The 2025 Clovis Community Survey found that residents believe the following public/community areas could use some potential focus in the coming years: protecting natural resources (i.e., parks, nature reserves, etc.), traffic and road conditions, and recreational centers and facilities. The Consolidated Plan Community Needs Survey identified the following public facilities that should be prioritized for additional funding in Clovis: health care facilities, accessibility improvements to public facilities, youth centers, parks/trails and recreational facilities and community center facilities.
How were these needs determined?
Feedback was gathered from the biannual Clovis Community Survey and the Consolidated Plan Community Needs Survey (CNS) where residents and stakeholders of the City provided input on community needs. Additional information regarding the CNS is included in the Citizen Participation section of this document. A summary of the results of the CNS is included as an appendix to this Plan.
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements:
The 2025 Clovis Community Survey identified a need for continued road and alleyway improvements throughout the City. Survey respondents would like to continue to see improvements to sidewalks, especially for ADA accommodations, parking facilities, water improvements, and street lighting improvements. The CNS identified the following public improvements that should be prioritized for additional funding in Clovis: street improvements, water system improvements, parking improvements, sewer/storm drain improvements, pedestrian crosswalks, street lighting improvements and alley improvements.
How were these needs determined?
Feedback was gathered from the biannual Clovis Community Survey and the CNS where residents and stakeholders of the City provided input on community needs. Additional information regarding the CNS is included in the Citizen Participation section of this document. A summary of the results of the CNS is included as an appendix to this Plan. Both survey results provided very similar recommendations for public improvements that informed the drafting of this Plan. The City also consulted with the Engineering Division of the City's Planning and Development Services Department to ensure the fiveyear Community Investment Plan was analyzed in the development of this Plan.
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services:
Survey respondents in the Consolidated Plan Survey ranked the following public or community services as top needs in Clovis: crime awareness, transportation, youth services (after-school programs etc.), senior services, services for the disabled and domestic violence/abuse services. Additionally, the 2025

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:
The housing market across the United States changed dramatically over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and many communities are still experiencing housing shortages and high housing costs.
Coupled with significant population growth over the past 20 years, Clovis has also seen a substantial increase in housing costs. While there has been new development in the City in the past 10 years, most of the new housing units, both owner-occupied and renter-occupied, have been market rate units, which are unaffordable for households with low to moderate incomes.
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 67
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
MA-10 Housing Market Analysis: Number of Housing Units - 91.210(a)&(b)(2) Introduction
Approximately 75% of the housing stock in Clovis is single family homes, and another 2.8% is attached townhomes and condos. Only 19.5% of units are apartment buildings with five or more units. In most communities across the United States, including Clovis, there is an affordable housing shortage for both renters and homeowners. To increase the supply of affordable housing options in the city, denser, multiunit properties or infill developments are needed. Access to available buildable development sites, and infrastructure costs, are all challenges to building additional dense housing in Clovis.

Table 34 – Unit Size by Tenure
Data Source: American Community Survey 2024 5-Year Estimates Unit Size by Tenure
According to 2024 5-Year American Community Survey (ACS) data, 65.4% of Clovis residents are homeowners while 34.6% are renters.
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 68
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In 2024, 92% of homeowners live in a house with three or more bedrooms compared to 44.4% of renters. Renters largely live in one or two-bedroom apartments. The average household size of owneroccupied housing is 3.08 while the average renter household is slightly smaller at 2.71 persons. In some cultures, like Asian and Hispanic/Latino communities, multigenerational housing is becoming more common which may require larger rental units.
Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs.
Clovis leverages as many funding sources as possible when targeting assistance to units for low-income households. In the previous five-year Consolidated Plan period, and for future program years, Clovis will target State CalHome Program funds, Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program funds, HOME Program funds, remnant Housing Successor Agency funds, and other local funds for the purpose of expanding and preserving Clovis' affordable housing stock.
The following units will receive targeted funding
2026-2027 - Federal, State and Local Funds - 135 Osmun Senior Apartments, proposed 47 units, for low and very low income individuals
2026-2027 - Federal, State and Local Funds - 10 low and very low income homeowners will be assisted through the housing repair program
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
Clovis currently has 665 rent-restricted and/or assisted units in its jurisdiction. This is down from 689 when the affordability restrictions for the Sierra Ridge housing development, which utilized Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), expired in 2022. Two other properties, Silver Ridge (101 units) and Lexington (128 units), have Low Income Housing Tax Credit affordability requirements that will expire in 2028. Silver Ridge is owned by Fresno Housing and all units will likely continue as affordable housing.
However, Lexington is owned by a private company, and its status is unknown. City staff will contact both owners to assist in retaining units as affordable options for the City, if at all possible, or seek other affordable housing developers who may be capable of continuing with the affordability of these units through a revised ownership/lending structure.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? The 2023-2031 Regional Housing Needs Allocation estimates that based on the needs of the population and projected growth, at least 8,977 new housing units are needed in Clovis between 2023 and 2031 to accommodate local and regional housing needs. Of these 8,977 housing units, 2,926 are needed for very low-income households and 1,549 are needed for low-income households.
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 69
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City finds there is a need for planning and development of a wide range of housing types for people of all income levels, but especially for extremely low- to moderate-income households and special needs households, which includes people with disabilities, seniors, and people in need of assisted, supportive and/or transitional housing. Several development areas, such as Wilson, Shepherd North, and Heritage Grove, are proposed to provide new units at all income levels.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
There is a need for rental housing for individuals and families at 50% AMI or less. The need is especially acute for 0-30% households. People on fixed incomes and persons with special needs, such as people with disabilities, need deeply subsidized units accessible and close to public transportation and service enriched housing. There is also an additional need for homeownership opportunities for those at 80% AMI or less.
Discussion
Maintaining the affordable housing stock within the City is critical to keeping people, especially more vulnerable populations, housed. The City of Clovis’ 2025 Mixed Income Zoning Ordinance (MIZO) Feasibility Study estimates that the direct construction costs for new housing units in Clovis ranges from $180,000 to $380,000 per unit depending on the unit type, size, and location. With the cost of land, fees and permits, indirects/financing, and the builder margin, these costs range from $311,200 to $1,003,200 per unit. The report found that funding affordable housing with LIHTC and/or having a non-profit general partner as a development partner is the only viable way to build affordable housing in Clovis.
Two types of resources can be engaged in efforts to preserve affordable units at risk of conversion to market rate: government funding and non-profit organizations that can acquire and manage assisted units. Preserving the set-aside units can be accomplished through the purchase and management of the apartment complex by a non-profit organization. This preservation method would eliminate the costs cited above and would eliminate the displacement of households while new units are constructed.
Additionally, experienced non-profit organizations have the capacity to manage affordable apartment complexes, whereas other entities may not.

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction
Rental housing costs in Clovis have been rising, and prices of units for sale have also increased significantly due to the pandemic and the growing population. The following section of the plan provides an analysis of current housing costs in Clovis and recent cost trends, while also presenting Consolidated Plan tables and analysis of housing costs.
The following HUD-provided Consolidated Plan table shows a 10-year trend in Clovis housing costs. The median home value between 2014 and 2024 rose 95.1%, or nearly doubled. Median contract rent increased at a slightly slower rate of 59.5% over the 10-year period. During that same period, household income increased 55.9% from $63,662 to $99,241, which indicates that housing costs have increased at higher rates than household income in Clovis.
The City’s MIZO Feasibility Study conducted by Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. in 2025, found that the effective rent for all rental units in 2025 was $1,566. For newer units built since 2000, the effective rent is higher at $2,078, indicating a 33% premium over all average rents.

Data Source: 2026 FMR, Fresno, CA HUD Metro FMR Area, 2025 HOME Program Rents Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? Based on the data in the table above, households with extremely low- and very low-incomes in Clovis have a shortage of affordable housing. According to 2016-2020 CHAS data, there are 270 units available for households earning 0-30% AMI, but 2,635 households in Clovis that have household incomes between 0-30% AMI. This is a gap of 2,365 households. There are 1,330 units available for households earning 30-50% AMI, but 2,805 households with household incomes between 30-50% AMI resulting in a gap of 1,475. There is not a gap for households earning more than 50% of AMI. Based upon this data, a deficit of 3,840 affordable units exists in Clovis and a critical need to keep building new units for lowincome households.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
Between 2014 and 2024, the median home value increased 95.1% or nearly doubled. Median contract rent increased at a slightly slower rate of 59.5% over the 10-year period. During that same period, household income increased 55.9% from $63,662 to $99,241, which indicates that housing costs have increased at higher rates than household income in Clovis. If these trends continue, then housing costs will continue to grow disproportionately more than income, resulting in more households becoming cost burdened.
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 72
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
While interest rates for mortgages have declined slightly in the past year, interest rates are still high compared to 2020-2022 rates which impacts how much a household can afford to purchase.
Additionally, with inflation, many households are also experiencing a strained budget. Higher housing costs may result in a higher risk of becoming unhoused in the future.
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 median contract rent according to the 2024 5-Year American Community Survey (ACS) was $1,450.
The Clovis MIZO Feasibility Study found the median rent in 2025 for all units was $1,566. The HUD 2026 Fair Market Rent (FMR) varies from $1,347 for a studio apartment to $2,660 for a four-bedroom apartment indicating that HUD FMR may pay at or slightly above the median contract rent for the city.
The Clovis MIZO Feasibility Study reported that 1,100 new multifamily units have been completed in Clovis since 2019, but only 15 multifamily units pulled permits in 2024. The report also indicated that multifamily developments in the overall Fresno region have stalled due to financing constraints, rising interest rates, and rising building costs. On the consumer side, inflation has strained many household budgets, which means that many households can’t afford to move to the newer units with higher rents.
Clovis is one of the fastest growing cities in California. From 2010 to 2024, the population increased
36.8% from 91,166 to 124,725. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that the population of Clovis will be 141,201 in 2029, or an increase of 13.2% from 2024 to 2029. With nearly 16,000 new people projected to move to Clovis over the coming years, there may not be enough housing to house them, especially if they earn a household income of less than 100% AMI. Therefore, it is important that the existing affordable housing stock is preserved and new affordable housing is built to help manage the potential growth in population.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction
In addition to analyzing housing costs, it’s important to also study the condition of the housing stock within a community. Older housing units may need rehabilitation or upgrades to make them safe and habitable. Older units may also have lead-based paint, energy efficiency needs, weatherization issues or other hazards or needs that need to be mitigated. The following information provides an analysis of the condition of housing units in Clovis.
HUD calculates the number of occupied housing units with one or more “selected conditions” by tenure.
These conditions include:
• Lack of complete plumbing
• Lack of complete kitchen facilities
• More than one person per room
• Cost burden greater than 30%
Most housing units in Clovis have none of the selected conditions listed above. However, approximately one in four (24.4%) owner-occupied housing units and one in two (50.2%) of renter-occupied housing units have one selected condition (see table below). Housing units with lack of complete plumbing or kitchen facilities may be eligible for rehabilitation programs while housing units with households experiencing cost burden and/or overcrowding indicate the need for more affordable housing units.
Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation":
Clovis will employ the following definitions and standards to units which may be under consideration for home repair services within its potential rehabilitation program:
Standard Unit(s) not suitable for rehabilitation: The housing unit meets minimum local, state, and federal code requirements adopted by the City of Clovis and is in good condition requiring only cosmetic work, correction of minor livability problems, or maintenance work, therefore not a priority for the City of Clovis housing repair programs for low-income families.
Substandard, suitable for rehabilitation: The housing unit does not meet minimum local, state, and federal code requirements adopted by the City of Clovis and are both financially and structurally feasible for rehabilitation program funds. This does not include units that require cosmetic work, correction of minor livability problems, or maintenance work.
Substandard, not suitable for non-substantial rehabilitation: The housing unit is in such poor condition as to be neither structurally nor financially feasible for rehabilitation program funds, such as instances where the majority of the unit is structurally unstable and thereby unsafe for habitation. In this case, the City will consider the need for major rehabilitation funding, or housing replacement funding.

Describe the need for owner and rental rehabilitation based on the condition of the jurisdiction's housing.
The age and condition of Clovis’s housing stock is an important indicator of potential rehabilitation needs. Housing over 25-30 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating/cooling systems, hot water heaters, electricity and plumbing fixtures.
Additionally, housing over 25-30 years of age may also need some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work, and plumbing systems.
Despite often having sizable equity in their homes, homeowners, especially seniors, may have limited income and may have difficulty maintaining their homes due to rising utility rates, higher property taxes, and rising hazard insurance rates. Combined with challenges, such as increased prices in housing supplies and materials, lack of qualified trades people, and inflation, more people may be delaying minor and major home renovations and repairs.
Approximately one in five (21.7%) of owner-occupied and 40.7% of renter-occupied housing units in Clovis were built before 1980. The following map shows the percentage of housing units in each Clovis census tract constructed before 1980. The census tracts with the highest concentration of older housing is located West of Fowler, and South of Herndon. These housing units are more likely than newer units to contain lead-based paint, lack complete plumbing facilities and kitchens, and need upgrades to major systems, including heating, cooling, roofs, electrical, and plumbing.
Clovis administers a housing rehabilitation grant and loan program for LMI owner-occupied households.
The grant program is funded by CDBG. The Loan program is funded by State of California CalHome Program funds and local funds.
The City leverages the CDBG funds with the CalHome/Local funds in the housing rehabilitation program by providing grants and/or loans, as needed, to low-income households to make health and safety repairs and eligible modifications to their homes (including mobile homes), as well as weatherization, energy efficiency and accessibility improvements.
This program helps to prevent displacement of lower-income homeowners, particularly seniors and mobile home park residents, by providing the needed funding for housing repairs to keep owners living safely in their homes.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Estimate the number of housing units within the jurisdiction that are occupied by low or moderate income families that contain lead-based paint hazards. 91.205(e), 91.405 According to the 2024 5-Year ACS data, 21.7% of owner-occupied and 40.7% of renter-occupied housing units in Clovis were built before 1980, which indicates that lead-based paint may be present in the home. Lead-based paint can be dangerous to young children if it is not properly encapsulated or remediated. Homes rehabilitated with CDBG funds must meet all HUD lead-based paint safety requirements. Owners of rental housing units are required to test for lead to ensure rental units are safe for children living in them.
There is a total of 1,995 housing units built before 1980 with children residing in them. Approximately one in eight (13.6%) of households in Clovis are considered low- or moderate-income families. Thus, it stands to reason that approximately one in eight of the households with children living in housing units built before 1980 are occupied by LMI households. This equates to 271 households.

Discussion
As noted in the Needs Assessment, a large percentage of owner and renter households experience at least one substandard housing condition. The most prevalent housing condition is cost-burden. This indicates that the housing stock is generally suitable for habitation, however, it is just expensive. The City of Clovis will continue to preserve the existing stock of affordable housing in its jurisdiction to help address the needs of low-income households in Clovis.

Fresno Housing is currently awaiting its approval for its 2026 Annual Plan. The 2024 Annual Plan outlines the agency’s focus on increasing resident engagement and expand the use of its educational and Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) programs, as well as access to services through collaboration with existing organizations across the region. This will help increase access to opportunities for its residents and the county’s low-to-moderate income populations.
Fresno Housing FSS program is a five-year program that connects residents with community resources to help them achieve financial independence. It includes case management and often provides an escrow account that grows as earned income increases. Participants can use these funds toward goals such as education or homeownership.
Fresno Housing also provides a scholarship program to help Fresno Housing residents and Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) families cover college tuition and further their education.
Discussion:
There are no public housing units within the City of Clovis. However, the City will continue to collaborate closely with Fresno Housing Authority in its administration of the Housing Choice Voucher program in the City of Clovis, and in any new affordable housing development opportunities.

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services - 91.210(d) Introduction
The City of Clovis identifies several at-risk populations within the jurisdiction based on the data in the section below. They include: the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities, survivors of domestic violence, and those living with AIDS/HIV. The primary housing need of many of these at-risk households is affordable housing inventory and options, including supportive housing, and services. Supportive housing services generally involve more accessible units, greater access to transportation and healthcare, and possibly larger units to accommodate those who have large families.
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
Elderly, including Frail Elderly, Households: HUD defines elderly as age 62 and older and frail elderly person as someone who requires assistance with three or more activities of daily living, such as eating, bathing, walking, and performing light housework. According to the 2024 5-Year ACS estimates, 13.8% of residents in Clovis are 65 or older. Many seniors now want to “age in place” in their homes. To safely allow seniors to “age in place,” simple design adaptations or repairs can be accomplished through accessibility modifications to accommodate persons with mobility challenges like installation of wider doorways, no-step thresholds, ramps, grab bars, and more. Additionally, home-bound seniors may need access to transportation services, meals-on-wheels or similar programs, and social activities to help reduce or prevent social isolation.
Persons with Disabilities: HUD defines disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities for an individual. Persons with disabilities may experience unique barriers to securing accessible and affordable housing that provides them with the accommodations they need. Persons with disabilities may require units equipped with wheelchair accessibility or other special features that accommodate physical or sensory limitations. Access to accessible transit services, health care, and hopping also are important factors for this population.
According to the 2024 5-Year ACS data shows that 7.7% (or 8,241) of Clovis residents under the age of 65 have a disability.
Persons Living with AIDS/HIV and their Families: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) AIDSVu Surveillance Data, there were 296 people per 100,000 living with HIV in Fresno County in 2023 (AIDSVu. Rate of Persons Living with HIV per 100,000, 2023. https://map.aidsvu.org/prev/county/rate/none/none/usa?geoContext=national). It is unknown how many people with AIDS/HIV live in Clovis as the data is not tracked by Fresno County Department of Public Health or the U.S. CDC. However, stable and affordable housing is essential for ensuring that those living with AIDS/HIV have consistent access to medical care and support services for their health and welfare. Additional needs for persons living with AIDS/HIV and their families include transportation

(if they are unable to drive), housing assistance, and/or other supportive services, especially if a person has multiple diagnoses such as mental health, substance use, or other chronic health conditions.
Survivors of Domestic Violence: Survivors of domestic violence need safe housing to provide a path to freedom. Many survivors experience barriers to obtaining and maintaining safe and affordable housing, such as lack of finances, poor credit score, lack of childcare, and more. Many survivors can also face discrimination in applying for housing due to the violent or criminal actions of their abusers. Many also have children and the children also have unique needs such as childcare, school, and counseling.
Survivors need safe housing with supportive services, such as legal, counseling, childcare, job training, and health.
Persons with Alcohol or Other Drug Addictions: For persons with mental, substance use, and/or developmental disabilities, the needs are more service-based than housing site-based, and include accessibility to ongoing case management, behavioral health counseling and therapy, medication management (if relevant), employment opportunities, job skills and training, housing assistance, and life skills. Persons with substance use challenges may experience housing instability and homelessness more than other populations.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
Built in 2022, Butterfly Gardens is a 75-unit permanent supportive housing development on Holland Avenue that provides affordable housing with social services for persons with disabilities and at-risk of homelessness. County of Fresno Department of Behavioral Health, and Hope and Healing, are the service providers who provide 24-hour live-in support staff who help provide job training and mental health services. This is the first ever permanent supportive housing development in Clovis.
Outside of the jurisdiction, Clovis residents have access to many facilities within Fresno County. The city of Fresno is home to approximately 250 licensed care facilities according to the California Department of Social Services that provide beds and services for persons with health-related conditions. Within the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC) service area, there are over 600 beds for permanent supportive housing and several transitional housing facilities, including a domestic violence shelter in Clovis.
Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e)

Describe any negative effects of public policies on affordable housing and residential investment
A barrier to affordable housing is defined as a public policy or non-governmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing. Common barriers can include land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, land costs, and availability of monetary resources. Like many communities across the United States, Clovis has an affordability challenge in both ownership and rental sectors of the housing markets. In Clovis, 7,935 households are paying more than 30% of their household income towards housing costs while another 4,910 households are paying 50% or more of their household income towards housing costs.
The 2023-2031 6th Cycle Clovis Housing Element identified several government constraints to development, including lack of transportation options, parking requirements in development code, and rising development fees due to increasing costs of infrastructure due to regulation and inflation. Nongovernmental constraints were identified as construction costs and availability of financing.
Development Fees – The City charges planning fees to process and review plans for residential projects and also charges impact fees to ensure that infrastructure and facilities are in place to serve these projects. High development fees may increase the startup costs of housing construction and development, thereby making the entire project more cost prohibitive. Increased costs may result in less housing being developed, which drives up the prices of current housing units on the market. Consumers are then faced with paying for the price of higher development fees through the increase in housing prices. The City provides an Affordable Housing Development Impact Fee Deferral Program as an incentive in the production of affordable housing units in Clovis.
Zoning Code Amendments – The City of Clovis’ 6th Cycle Housing Element includes a program where the City proposed to amend the R-3 (Multifamily High Density) zone district to increase the minimum allowable residential density from 15 to 20 dwelling units per acre. This program was approved and operational in 2024. Additionally, the Housing Element includes the Infill Rezone Project which is designed to increase the opportunity for additional housing units by rezoning underutilized parcels within established neighborhoods. The City identified 20 parcels that can accommodate approximately 1,284 housing units by redesignating and rezoning the 20 sites to High and/or Very High density Residential land uses and to R-3 or R-4 multifamily zone districts. Staff will present this project to the City Council for review and request approval in late spring 2026. Additionally, the City will establish a local ordinance, the Mixed Income Zoning Ordinance (MIZO), which proposes to require market rate housing development projects, which contain 11 or more housing units, to set aside 5% of the housing units as affordable housing. The Ordinance will have additional proposed compliance measures, such as payment of an in-lieu fee and donation of land. Though the program is not approved as of the writing of this document, City staff will present the program to City Council requesting their review and approval

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
Clovis has been one of California’s fastest growing cities over the past 20 years. The top employment sectors in Clovis are education and health care services, which largely require people with college or advanced professional degrees. Approximately one in two (56.6%) of the civilian employed population in Clovis has less than a bachelor’s degree. Job training and educational opportunities may benefit people without a college degree to obtain a higher wage job.
Many people who live in Clovis work in Fresno and other cities in the county. According to the 2024 5- Year ACS data, 70.6% of Clovis residents drive alone to work, 10.9% carpool, and 15.2% work from home. Only 0.3% use public transportation. For the majority of people who commute to work, most people (83.8%) travel less than 30 minutes to work. While the percentage of people who use public transportation to commute to work is small, improvements to the routes and schedule may encourage more people to use public transportation. Clovis’ public transportation system is free for residents.
However, residents who commute to Fresno or beyond may have to pay for the additional routes.
Access to high-speed internet is important not just for people who work from home, but all residents.

Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.
The City of Clovis is currently working on developing its new General Plan for the City, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. It will replace the prior General Plan that was completed in 2014.
The new General Plan will help provide guidance on infrastructure and programs for economic development in Clovis. Currently, Clovis has been focusing on ensuring that there is at least one job per household located in Clovis, which the City has been able to achieve over the past few years. Staff for the City of Clovis Economic Development Department indicated that there is also a focus on entrepreneurship and small business growth in the city. The City continues to partner with local businesses, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations to continue making Clovis a thriving and growing community.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
Only 41.1% of the employed civilian workforce have a bachelor’s degree or higher. As data above shows, there is a strong correlation with education and income. The most common jobs in Clovis, including arts, entertainment, accommodation, and retail jobs don’t typically require a college degree while the education and health care sector typically requires at least a college degree and often a professional or graduate degree. To attract higher wage industries to Clovis, the Clovis community will need to invest in higher education and job training to meet the market demands.
Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
Workforce training is conducted by a wide variety of educational partners in the region. California State University Fresno offers four-year degrees and some advanced degrees while Clovis Community College offers vocational programs and general education to pursue a four-year degree. Several private schools in Clovis offer vocational programs, a Juris Doctorate, and a Doctorate in Pharmacy.
The Fresno County Workforce Investment Board offers assistance to access many programs for eligible participants. The Fresno County Economic Development Commission in partnership with the County of Fresno also provides support to businesses to pay for specific training needs of new employees.
One of the primary goals of the City of Clovis is to increase incomes and thus to increase the marketability in the labor market. The City’s Economic Development Department offers Start-Up and Entrepreneurial Programs to help local business ideas become a reality in Clovis. The City also offers concierge services to new businesses to help them set their businesses up efficiently and correctly.
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 93
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City of Clovis also provides CDBG funding to the Clovis Culinary Center. The funds are utilized to provide rental space, tools and services to low-income entrepreneurs wishing to start a food-based business by taking part in services and space offered at the Center.
Efforts and initiatives by the Clovis Community, and the City of Clovis will continue to support the needs and strategies of the Consolidated Plan including economic development and job growth.
Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)?
Yes
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth.
The City of Clovis participates in the Fresno County CEDS. One of the main objectives of the County CEDS is to “foster a competitive business environment that supports the expansion of existing industries, attracts new investment, and drives innovation to create a resilient and diversified economy.” The City of Clovis Economic Development Department is currently supporting new business growth within Clovis through its Start-Up and Entrepreneurial Programs described above.
Providing attractive neighborhoods with robust amenities at affordable prices is critical to supporting expanding businesses as they try to retain employees, in addition, offering low-income residents access to entrepreneurial programs will encourage overall economic growth for all segments of the community.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
Minority concentration is defined as census tracts where the percentage of individuals of a particular racial or ethnic minority group is at least 20 percentage points higher than the city-wide average. As discussed in the Needs Assessment, housing problems disproportionately affect LMI households.
The map below shows census tracts of low-income households with at least one severe housing problem. The darkest census tracts (greater than 80.7% of low-income households) represent lowincome households with one or any four severe housing problems, such as substandard housing, overcrowding, and severe cost burden.
As NA-10 describes the most common housing problems for LMI households is cost burden (greater than 30%) or severe cost burden (greater than 50%).

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 Racially or Ethnically Concentrated Ares of Poverty (R/ECAPs) as census tracts with a nonwhite population of 50% or more and a poverty rate exceeding 40% of three times the average tract poverty rate for the metro. Per the data in the map below, Clovis does not have any R/ECAP census tracts.
However, Clovis does have a high percentage of Hispanic or Latino residents. The dark purple in the map below represents census tracts where 30.34% of the population or greater is Hispanic or Latino.
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 96
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The highest concentration of low-income households is located in the southwest corner of the city (see map below). Dark purple represents census tracts where over 39.5% of the households are below the low-income threshold. In the most southwest census tract (31.03), one in two households (51%) are considered low-income. Low-income households also match where the highest percentage of Hispanic or Latino people live in Clovis.
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 97
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? The southwest part of Clovis is home to the following characteristics based on 2020-2024 ACS data. Data is identified by Census Tract as follows:
- Lowest median income by census tracts (56.07 - $50,013; 56.02 - $54,479) - Highest percentage of people living in poverty (31.03 – 20.9%; 31.02 – 17.8%) - Oldest housing stock (Median housing age: 56.08 – 1970; 31.02 – 1972; 56.02 – 1972) - Highest percentage of mobile homes (56.08 – 20.9%; 56.07 – 13.1%) - Highest percentage of Hispanic or Latino (31.02 – 56.1%; 31.03 – 47.5% As a result of these characteristics, households, particularly LMI households, are more likely to experience housing problems, especially cost burden. Additionally, these households may be more susceptible to housing instability and need housing assistance.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? Clovis strives to have community assets in all areas of the City. Schools, parks, recreational centers, shopping, libraries, public transportation, police and fire stations, are found throughout the city,
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 98
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
including areas with concentrations of lower-income households. The city has a network of active and dedicated nonprofit organizations and community groups that work to address the housing and community development needs in these neighborhoods and the city at large.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The City will continue to work closely with its partners, from nonprofit housing and service providers to private sector developers and other local agencies in Fresno County, to ensure services and programs are delivered in an effective and efficient manner and provide assistance to those who are most in need.

Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.
Access to the internet is essential infrastructure that drives modern life, economic growth, and communication. The map below shows the percentage of households with any broadband internet by census block in Clovis. There are various census blocks with less access to broadband internet than other areas in Clovis. According to Broadband Now, there are 11 internet providers that offer services in Clovis ranging in speed and costs. Low- and moderate-income households may need assistance or low-cost internet options as they may not be able to afford the monthly fee. According to the respondents in the Consolidated Plan Survey, a major barrier to broadband access is the monthly fees for services.
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 100
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.
Clovis has a total of 11 internet service providers, with most offering residential and business services.
Of those 11, three are satellite, two are fiber, and six are 5G or fixed wireless. Increased competition among internet providers will not only improve the quality of services through increased speeds and access, but should also decrease the costs, which are important for lower-income households. In the 2025 Community Survey for Clovis, 68% of the survey respondents reported they had excellent or good affordable high-speed internet access, which is higher than the national benchmark of 60%.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.
Clovis is located in California’s Central Valley, which typically has a warm and temperate climate.
Regardless the region can experience severe, climate hazards such as extreme heat, severe droughts, and catastrophic flood risks from atmospheric rivers. Additionally, due to heat waves and droughts, dust and dust storms are increasing and are not only dangerous but can lead to poor air quality.
In 2024, Fresno County published its Hazard Mitigation Plan. The City of Clovis participated in the planning. The report identified the following climate change trends that will likely impact Fresno County in the future:
- Higher temperatures
- Increasing evapotranspiration (water that evaporates or is used by plants) - Longer and more severe droughts
- Declining snowpack
- More intense rainstorms
- More frequent and extensive wildfires
- Sea level rises
The two hazards that are most likely to impact Clovis residents the most are higher temperatures and longer and more severe droughts.
Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.
Droughts
Droughts occur slowly over multi-year periods. There are multiple types of droughts such as meteorological, agricultural, hydrological, and socio-economic. LMI households are more likely to be impacted by socioeconomic droughts because physical water shortages will start to affect the health, well-being, and quality of life of people. Additionally, an agricultural drought may impact jobs if they are an agricultural worker. Droughts can also kill vegetation. Trees provide shade, which is essentially important in high heat and can aid in reducing cooling costs. Dead vegetation can also pose risks to people, buildings, power lines, and roads, particularly if wildfires arise. LMI households may be vulnerable due the high costs of maintaining and controlling dead vegetation.
Extreme Temperatures
Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can have severe impacts on human health and mortality, natural ecosystems, agriculture, and other economic sectors. Prolonged exposure to cold can cause
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 102
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
frostbite or hypothermia, which can become life threatening. Extreme heat can also lead to heat-related illnesses and even death. LMI Households may not have adequate insulation and HVAC systems in their homes nor the finances to improve or repair their systems if they break. This could lead to potential health problems. The impacts of extreme heat events may disproportionately impact certain populations more than others. According to the 2021 National Integrated Health Heat Information System the following factors put individuals at risk during extreme heat conditions:
- Household composition (e.g., children under 5 or over 65) - Chronic health conditions (e.g., diabetes, asthma, cardiac problems) - Economic status (e.g., low income, fixed income, health care) - Housing and transportation (e.g. substandard housing) - Exposure (e.g., outdoor workers, athletes, individuals experiencing homelessness) - Ethnicity (e.g., language barriers, cultural practices) Given this initial evidence of climate change projections, low- to moderate-income households may be impacted more than other households in Clovis.

Improved economic health will yield additional resources for the provision of services for the City’s special needs groups, in addition to providing employment opportunities for unemployed residents.

With the continued rise of housing costs and inflation, many households are living paycheck to paycheck. The “at-risk” population includes families and individuals living near, or below, the poverty level, who upon loss of employment or other emergency requiring financial reserves, would lose their housing and become unhoused. Families in this situation are generally already experiencing a housing cost burden. One of the fastest growing age groups now experiencing homelessness is older adults. In the 2022-2023 fiscal year, 40% of adult-only households who connected with the state’s homelessness response system were 50 or older. The City will continue to provide resources as available to assist those households that are homeless in the jurisdiction. 4 Priority Need

Priority
Much of the City’s infrastructure, including roads and sidewalks, were built over 35 years ago and are in need of replacement or repair. In addition, as the City is largely characterized by families with children, parks and recreational facilities are well used and in high demand. Maintenance and improvements of the City’s facilities and infrastructure is an important need for the community's lower income neighborhoods to ensure housing stability. Additionally, these needs along with prioritizing funding for health care facilities were identified as high priority needs in the City's Consolidated Plan Community Needs Survey.
Table 54 – Priority Needs Summary

New Unit
Production
The City will continue to utilize its CDBG, and other state and local funding to develop new affordable housing units. The high number of rent burdened households and the short supply of affordable units continue to make new affordable unit production a necessity in Clovis. According to 2016-2020 CHAS data, there are 270 units available for households earning 0-30% AMI, but 2,635 households (Table 6) households in Clovis that have household incomes between 0-30% AMI. This is a gap of 2,365 households. There are 1,330 units available for households earning 30-50% AMI, but 2,805 households (Table 6) with household incomes between 30-50% AMI resulting in a gap of 1,475.
There is not a gap for households earning more than 50% of AMI. Based upon this data, a deficit of 3,840 affordable units exists in Clovis and a critical need to keep building new units for low-income households.
Rehabilitation A significant number of homes (11,904), both owner-occupied and renteroccupied, are more than 30 years old. Many of these homes are occupied by low- to moderate-income households, which may prevent them from making necessary repairs and accessibility improvements. Providing rehabilitation and accessibility improvement funds for aging affordable housing units will assist with the preservation of existing affordable housing.

While funding resources are limited, the City will continue to work with several non-profit organizations and developers to produce affordable units through acquisition and rehabilitation.
The City enters into these partnerships not only to preserve the supply of affordable housing in the community, but also to stimulate high-quality property management and neighborhood improvement.

SP-35 Anticipated Resources - 91.215(a)(4), 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction
The City anticipates that, over the coming 5-year Consolidated Plan Period, the CDBG Entitlement allocation will equal $3,510,000. The City received $3,491,725 during the previous 5-year Consolidated Plan Period which was approximately $250,000 less than anticipated. The 2026-2027 Action Plan entitlement amount is $706,825. This amount, together with $87,951 in CDBG funds from prior year carry over funds, totals $794,776 in CDBG funds available for allocation to eligible activities in the 2026- 2027 program year.
The City of Clovis is committed to leveraging as many funds as possible against the CDBG allocation, including the following:
• State of California CalHome Program funds for housing rehabilitation and first-time homebuyer assistance
• State of California Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program Funds for affordable housing activities
• HOME Program funds through a State allocation for housing development and homeownership assistance
• Local remnant Housing Successor Agency funds for housing assistance • Other Local Funds

Table 56 - Anticipated Resources
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 116
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied There is no matching requirement for the use of CDBG funds. However, Clovis strives to leverage as many funding sources as possible when planning for housing, community, and economic development activities.
For example, in the previous five-year Consolidated Plan period, and for future program years, Clovis will leverage State CalHome Program funds, Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program funds, HOME Program funds, remnant Housing Successor Agency funds, and other local funds for the purpose of expanding and preserving Clovis' affordable housing stock.
During the upcoming 5-year Consolidated Plan Period the City proposes to leverage the following resources:
• CalHome Program funds from the 2023 award, in the estimated amount of $1.1M will be available in 2026-2027 for mobile home repairs. It is anticipated that 10 homes will be assisted. • CalHome Program funds from the 2023 award, in the amount of $415,600 will be available for first time homebuyer assistance for mobile homes. It is anticipated that 8 homebuyers will be assisted.
• CalHome Program funds from the 2025 award, in the amount of $1,500,000 will be available for home repairs from 2026-2029. It is anticipated that twenty-five (25) homes will be assisted. • It is anticipated that the City will continue to partner the CalHome Program loans with the CDBG owner occupied housing rehabilitation grant program to provide much needed larger repair projects.
• In 2026 the City will set aside additional funding in the amount of $1,325,988 in local and state funds for the 135 Osmun Senior Apartments to enable the developers to build a more competitive application for other available state financing programs such as the Tax Credit Allocation Committee Program, Multi-Family Housing Program, and HOME Program, as follows:
o Existing PLHA Program Funds: $525,988
o Future PLHA Program Funds: $500,000
o Existing Housing Trust Fund Program Funds: $100,000
o Future Housing Trust Fund Program Funds: $200,000
• Local funds in the amount of $500,000 will be available through the City’s Affordable Housing Development Impact Fee Deferral Program which will provide for the deferral of up to 50% of a housing unit’s major facility sewer and water impact fees, depending on income targeting/affordability of the unit. The City will set aside additional funding to assist up to 120 affordable housing units, per year, over the next Consolidated Plan Period. • Local funds in the amount of $100,000 will be available, on a yearly basis, through the City’s Housing Trust Fund Program to fund affordable housing development/activities. These program funds will be leveraged with state and federal program funds, as applicable, to maximize affordable housing opportunities.
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 117
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• The proposed Mixed Income Zoning Ordinance will establish a local ordinance that will require market rate housing development projects, which contain 11 or more housing units, to set aside 5% of the housing units as affordable housing. The Ordinance will have additional proposed compliance measures, such as payment of an in-lieu fee and donation of land. Though the program is not approved as of the writing of this document, City staff will present the program to City Council requesting their review and approval during the 2025-2026 program year. As this program is projected to be implemented, there will be additional resources available through the City for affordable housing development.
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 currently has identified two publicly owned properties within the jurisdiction to address affordable housing needs identified in the plan.
Discussion
In the 2024-2025 program year, the City identified two parcels of City-owned land that have been reserved for addressing the affordable housing needs identified in the Action Plan. One property is located at 354 Osmun Avenue (0.43+/- acres) and is currently used as a parking lot. The second property is located at 650 Fowler Avenue (0.89+/- acres), and currently includes an existing building previously used as a fire station. The properties are part of the City of Clovis’ Housing Trust Fund, which is programmed to help incentivize the development of affordable housing including expanding and preserving Clovis' affordable housing stock. Staff will continue to search for additional land purchase and/or acquisition opportunities.
The City anticipates making the two properties available for affordable housing activities during the upcoming five-year Consolidated Plan period. They City may decide to sell either or both properties if they are infeasible for affordable housing development, or if the City otherwise decides, and invest the proceeds in affordable housing development/activities.

Table 57 - Institutional Delivery Structure
Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System The City of Clovis is managed utilizing a council-manager form of government. The five-person City Council provides policy and direction to the City Manager who is responsible for administering city operations. The Council members are the leaders and policy makers elected to represent various segments of the community and to concentrate on policy issues that are responsive to citizens’ needs and wishes. The Council also focuses on addressing the community’s goals, major projects, and such long-term considerations as community growth, land use policies, development, capital improvement plans, capital financing, and strategic planning. The City Manager is appointed by Council to implement policy and ensure that the entire community is being served.
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 119
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City’s Economic Development, Housing and Communications Department is responsible for the overall administration and fiscal management of the CDBG program. The Housing Program Division staff within the Department serve as the lead administrators for the Consolidated Plan, Action Plans, annual Performance Reports, and the administration of CDBG funds. Staff work closely with other City departments and the community to develop and administer programs and activities that improve the lives of low- and moderate-income persons and revitalize neighborhoods throughout the city.
Administration of program activities includes management of housing, public facility and infrastructure improvements, public and social service activities, and economic development activities. The City will also coordinate with the City’s Senior Services Center, the Clovis Culinary Center, and the Marjaree Mason Center for the provision of services for seniors, job creation, and services for victims of domestic violence. The strengths in the delivery system are due to interdepartmental communication and collaboration.
The gaps in the delivery system are due only to limited funding and limited staffing. Additionally, the need for services far outweighs the available resources. As a result, even projects with a high priority may be delayed due to lack of funding availability.

Table 58 - 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) The City of Clovis doesn’t receive direct state or federal funding to assist the homeless population or other special needs populations. Regardless, the City of Clovis is an active member of the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC), which is the organization that acts as the regional planning body to address homelessness in the region. This collaborative group addresses chronic homelessness, homelessness prevention, and discharge coordination policies on a region-wide basis for Fresno and Madera Counties,
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 121
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
which includes the City of Clovis. Based upon the consultation process, the City has recognized a need for shelters for other at-risk populations such as youth and veterans, and in 2023 provided funding to a 75-unit permanent supportive housing project, Butterfly Gardens, that provides permanent supportive housing units for disabled and at-risk homeless individuals. Additionally, in the last several years, the City has provided CDBG funds to the Marjaree Mason Center, a local non-profit that provides safe shelter and lifesaving supportive services for individuals and families affected by domestic violence. The City proposes to continue funding the MMC in the 2026-2027 fiscal year with CDBG funds in the amount of $61,491. In addition to the provision of CDBG funds, the City will continue to pursue other local and State/County Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding and projects to serve these populations.
The City is also an active supporter of the FMCoC’s Coordinated Entry System. The Coordinated Entry System provides an integrated intake process that connects individuals facing housing, domestic violence, substance abuse, physical health and/or mental health challenges to supportive services.
Those needing service can access the system at various multi-Agency access points of entry (MAP), or via telephone. MAP access points are located throughout the County, and specifically at the Poverello House (a homeless shelter), Fresno EOC, The Welcome Center and at the Marjaree Mason Center. Those needing homeless services within Clovis are referred to the MAP sites, and/or to the 24-hour telephone access line.
Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above
The strengths of utilizing this coordinated process include eliminating barriers to access, reducing the number of individuals “falling between the cracks,” and reducing duplication of services across systems.
Additionally, many of the non-profit organizations in Clovis and Fresno County have a long history and expertise in providing these services as identified in MA-30 and elsewhere in the Consolidated Plan.
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 Using the MAP Point strategy eliminates the gaps in service delivery. Additionally, the City’s continued participation and leadership in the FMCoC ensures full participation in addressing issues and inequities in serving the unhoused community.

SP-55 Strategic Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.215(h) Barriers to Affordable Housing
A barrier to affordable housing is defined as a public policy or non-governmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing. Common barriers can include land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, land costs, and availability of monetary resources. Like many communities across the United States, Clovis has an affordability challenge in both ownership and rental sectors of the housing markets. In Clovis, 7,935 households are paying more than 30% of their household income towards housing costs while another 4,910 households are paying 50% or more of their household income towards housing costs.
The 2023-2031 6th Cycle Clovis Housing Element identified several government constraints to development, including lack of transportation options, parking requirements in development code, and rising development fees due to increasing costs of infrastructure due to regulation and inflation. Nongovernmental constraints were identified as construction costs and availability of financing.
Development Fees – The City charges planning fees to process and review plans for residential projects and also charges impact fees to ensure that infrastructure and facilities are in place to serve these projects. High development fees may increase the startup costs of housing construction and development, thereby making the entire project more cost prohibitive. Increased costs may result in less housing being developed, which drives up the prices of current housing units on the market. Consumers are then faced with paying for the price of higher development fees through the increase in housing prices. The City provides an Affordable Housing Development Impact Fee Deferral Program as an incentive in the production of affordable housing units in Clovis.
Zoning Code Amendments – The City of Clovis’ 6th Cycle Housing Element includes a program where the City proposed to amend the R-3 (Multifamily High Density) zone district to increase the minimum allowable residential density from 15 to 20 dwelling units per acre. This program was approved and operational in 2024. Additionally, the Housing Element includes the Infill Rezone Project which is designed to increase the opportunity for additional housing units by rezoning underutilized parcels within established neighborhoods. The City identified 20 parcels that can accommodate approximately 1,284 housing units by redesignating and rezoning the 20 sites to High and/or Very High density Residential land uses and to R-3 or R-4 multifamily zone districts. Staff will present this project to the City Council for review and request approval in late spring 2026. Additionally, the City will establish a local ordinance, the Mixed Income Zoning Ordinance (MIZO), which proposes to require market rate housing development projects, which contain 11 or more housing units, to set aside 5% of the housing units as affordable housing. The Ordinance will have additional proposed compliance measures, such as payment of an in-lieu fee and donation of land. Though the program is not approved as of the writing of this document, City staff will present the program to City Council requesting their review and approval during the 2025-2026 program year. As this program is projected to be implemented, there will be additional resources available through the City for affordable housing development.

Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing The City of Clovis has identified the following strategies to help remove or ameliorate the barriers to Affording Housing:
- Increase the number of affordable housing units and preserve existing units - Expand affordable homeownership opportunities
- Expand housing opportunities for at-risk populations (i.e., persons with disabilities, victims of domestic violence, seniors, homeless, LMI households)
- Increase understanding of housing discrimination and Fair Housing - Establish and fund the Clovis Housing Trust Fund
- Make changes to the R-3 Zone District and Mixed Income Zoning Ordinance to allow additional housing density and multifamily development
In addition, the City will consider incentives such as deferred or reduced fees to facilitate affordable housing development, as appropriate.

Describe how the jurisdiction's strategic plan goals contribute to:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City of Clovis doesn’t receive direct state or federal funding to assist the homeless population or other special needs populations. Regardless, the City of Clovis is an active member of the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC), which is the organization that acts as the regional planning body to address homelessness in the region. This collaborative group addresses chronic homelessness, homelessness prevention, and discharge coordination policies on a region-wide basis for Fresno and Madera Counties, which includes the City of Clovis. Based upon the consultation process, the City has recognized a need for shelters for other at-risk populations such as youth and veterans, and in 2022 provided funding to a 75-unit permanent supportive housing project, Butterfly Gardens, that provides permanent supportive housing units for disabled and at-risk homeless individuals. Additionally, in the last several years, the City has provided CDBG funds to the Marjaree Mason Center, a local non-profit that provides safe shelter and lifesaving supportive services for individuals and families affected by domestic violence.
The City proposes to continue funding the MMC in the 2026-2027 fiscal year with CDBG funds in the amount of $61,491. In addition to the provision of CDBG funds, the City will continue to pursue other local and State/County Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding and projects to serve these populations. The ESG funds will be available for competitive applications to non-entitlement jurisdictions of ESG, through the County of Fresno, in the upcoming planning cycle.
The City will also be developing a street outreach team funded with local funds. The development of this team will be overseen by the Police Department and staff will work closely with Housing Program Division staff and FMCoC partner agencies to adequately tailor services and outreach to unhoused individuals in Clovis.
The FMCOC conducted a PIT in early 2025 and another in early 2026. The reporting and analysis for these counts are not available as of the drafting of this narrative. City of Clovis specific data is also not available.
In 2024, there was a total of 1,357 sheltered persons counted in the 2024 PIT Count in Fresno County.
No unsheltered PIT Count was conducted in 2024. It is estimated that approximately 4,140 persons in households with adult(s) and child(ren) are experiencing homelessness each year.
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The ultimate solution to ending homelessness is assisting unhoused persons transition into permanent housing closely aligned with supportive services that ensure housing stability. However, because the demand for affordable housing outpaces the city’s supply, the City and FMCoC relies on its emergency
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 129
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
and transitional housing programs in order to address the immediate needs of Clovis’ unhoused population.
Based on the previous Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans, the City of Clovis recognized a need for shelters for at-risk populations such as youth and veterans and has provided funding to a 75-unit permanent supportive housing project in Clovis. Butterfly Gardens opened in 2022 and provides permanent supportive housing units for persons with disabilities and individuals at risk of becoming unhoused.
Clovis does not currently have an emergency shelter open to all residents as needed. The nearest emergency shelters are located in nearby Fresno. However, there is a shelter in Clovis for victims of domestic violence. In FY2025-2026, the City of Clovis provided CDBG funds to Marjaree Mason Center, a local non-profit that provides safe shelter and lifesaving supportive services for individuals and families affected by domestic violence.
Additionally, the City proposes to apply for other available resources to better assist those experiencing homelessness, such as Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The City does not currently receive this funding, but the ESG funds will be available for competitive applications to non-entitlement jurisdictions (like the City of Clovis) through the County of Fresno in summer 2026.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
Butterfly Gardens opened in October 2022. The 75-unit permanent supportive housing development was a result of a partnership between the County of Fresno Behavioral Health Department and a private non-profit housing developer. Butterfly Gardens provides housing and supportive services to persons with disabilities and individuals at risk of becoming homeless. City staff continues to meet regularly with management staff from Butterfly Gardens to provide any needed support and to ensure the project partnership continues. Additionally, City continue to refer persons needing housing assistance to various MAP sites and the 24-hour intake telephone line.
The City is also an active supporter of the FMCoC’s Coordinated Entry System. The Coordinated Entry System provides an integrated intake process that connects individuals facing housing, domestic violence, substance abuse, physical health and/or mental health challenges to supportive services.
Those needing service can access the system at various multi-Agency access points of entry (MAP), or via telephone. MAP access points are located throughout the County, and specifically at the Poverello House (a homeless shelter), Fresno EOC, The Welcome Center and at the Marjaree Mason Center. Those
Consolidated Plan CLOVIS 130
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
needing homeless services within Clovis are referred to the MAP sites, and/or to the 24-hour telephone access line.
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
Clovis residents have access to many facilities within Fresno County, including assisted and independent residential facilities for both general adult population and the elderly. According to the California Department of Social Services, there are over 200 residential elderly care facilities in Fresno County, with the capacity for over 5,000 people. There are over 150 adult residential facilities with capacity for over 900 people. While residential care facilities may not be for everyone, they provide care, supervision, and assistance with daily living activities, such as bathing and grooming, for older adults and those that may have a disability. They may also provide incidental medical services under special care plans. Adult residential facilities are facilities of any capacity that provide 24-hour non-medical care for adults age 18 to 50 who are unable to provide for their own daily needs.
Since the City of Clovis does not receive ESG funds, when housing assistance requests from those at risk of becoming homeless are received, they are referred to Fresno County and local non-profit organizations.

SP-65 Lead-based Paint Hazards - 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards The County of Fresno’s Public Health Department has a Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP). CLPPP provides services to the community to increase awareness about the hazards of lead exposure and increase the number of children tested for blood lead poisoning.
In addition to information and education to the general public, the CLPPP offers home visitation, environmental home inspections and health education to families of severely lead-poisoned children.
Telephone contact and educational materials are also provided to families of moderately lead-poisoned children.
Additionally, City staff will continue to provide households with resources and guidance to reduce leadbased paint hazards. All housing program participants receive the "Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home" pamphlet published by the US Environmental Protection Agency. All required precautions are taken to ensure lead is not disturbed with projects assisted with CDBG funds, and that vulnerable residents are not exposed. Additionally, City staff provides copies of the pamphlet at resource fairs throughout the year.
How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? There are 11,904 housing units in Clovis according to the 2020-2024 American Community Survey, that were built prior to 1980. The use of lead-based paint was banned nationwide in 1978, so it is estimated that approximately 11,000 units of the City’s 43,691 total units could have lead-based paint. As units have been repaired, rehabilitated, or replaced since 1978, only non-lead-based paint has been used.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The City of Clovis through its building permits process requires all those completing rehabilitations, no matter the funding source, to adhere to nationally-recognized lead-safe work practices for homes built before 1978. In addition, the City requires that those completing the rehabilitation work notify the occupants of potential lead presence or contamination.

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy - 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families The City of Clovis is currently collecting community input for its new General Plan. Until the new General Plan is developed and published in late 2026, the City is still utilizing its 2014 General Plan. Within that plan, the City of Clovis has committed to developing a thriving and diverse local economy that delivers broad and resilient revenue base as a tool to continuously improve Clovis’ quality of life through the 2014 General Plan goals:
Goal 1: Regionally and globally competitive office and industrial employment centers that deliver desirable career opportunities for residents, create wealth-building opportunities for entrepreneurs, and attract private investment.
Goal 2: A thriving local economy enriched by its connections and linkages to regional assets and to the national and global communication and transportation networks.
Goal 3: Distinctive commercial destinations, corridors, and centers that provide a wide variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities for residents and visitors.
Goals 4: An overnight tourism destination known throughout the western United States.
In addition, the City will work closely with economic development partners such as The Economic Development Corporation serving Fresno County, the Fresno County Department of Employment, the Clovis Chamber of Commerce, and the Convention and Visitors Bureau towards the goal of ensuring equal opportunity to education and quality of life for every resident. The City of Clovis participates in the Fresno County CEDS report and through its own Economic Development Department focuses on tourism, entrepreneur and start up support, and workforce development.
The City will also continue serving as a referral partner to the many community based non-profit organizations that provide assistance for people in need. Many of these organizations are listed in MA30.
How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan
The City of Clovis is committed to coordinating its affordable housing plan with the jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies listed in MA-30 and other services and programs offered by community partners.
The Consolidated Plan seeks above all to address the most pressing need among low- and moderateincome Clovis residents, namely, housing instability. All other investments, including those directed toward public service programs, infrastructure improvements, and economic opportunity programs, are intended to engender the self-sufficiency and mobility that can lead to a safe, affordable, stable, and accessible living environment for all Clovis residents.

SP-80 Monitoring - 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
The City of Clovis has established a monitoring system to ensure that federal regulations, local policies, and program guidelines are met. City staff is trained to determine each selected CDBG activity meets the national objective, activity eligibility, and appropriate regulatory requirements; and to ensure that all projects funded with CDBG funds are consistent with the approved Consolidated Plan. City staff also conduct site visits and interim and final inspections for all CDBG projects.
The City of Clovis staff will ensure that all programs are evaluated and monitored regularly, and that performance is assessed and reported. Clovis’ monitoring program includes a report on implementation and progress of the Consolidated Plan Goals and Activities provided to City Council on an annual basis.
The report will include a quantification of progress in meeting the needs of each program. The monitoring process will also include requiring appropriate deed restrictions to ensure continued affordability for low- to moderate-income housing constructed or rehabilitated with the assistance of any public funds as may be legally required by the use of such funds.
It is City of Clovis policy to ensure that MBEs, as defined in 24 CFR Part 85, have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in CDBG-assisted contracts, and this process is monitored through each CDBG funded activity and regularly through HUD reporting.

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources - 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The City anticipates that, over the coming 5-year Consolidated Plan Period, the CDBG Entitlement allocation will equal $3,510,000. The City received $3,491,725 during the previous 5-year Consolidated Plan Period which was approximately $250,000 less than anticipated. The 2026-2027 Action Plan entitlement amount is %706,825. This amount, together with $87,951 in CDBG funds from prior year carry over funds, totals $794,776 in CDBG funds available for allocation to eligible activities in the 2026- 2027 program year.
The City of Clovis is committed to leveraging as many funds as possible against the CDBG allocation, including the following:
- State of California CalHome Program funds for housing rehabilitation and first-time homebuyer assistance
- State of California Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program Funds for affordable housing activities
- HOME Program funds through a State allocation for housing development and homeownership assistance
- Local remnant Housing Successor Agency funds for housing assistance - Other Local Funds

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied There is no matching requirement for the use of CDBG funds. However, Clovis strives to leverage as many funding sources as possible when planning for housing, community and economic development activities. For example, in the previous five-year Consolidated Plan period, and for future program years, Clovis will leverage State CalHome Program funds, Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program funds, HOME Program funds, remnant Housing Successor Agency funds, and other local funds for the purpose of expanding and preserving Clovis' affordable housing stock.
During the upcoming 5-year Consolidated Plan Period the City proposes to leverage the following resources:
• CalHome Program funds from the 2023 award, in the estimated amount of $1.1M will be available in 2026-2027 for mobile home repairs. It is anticipated that 10 homes will be assisted. • CalHome Program funds from the 2023 award, in the amount of $415,600 will be available for first time homebuyer assistance for mobile homes. It is anticipated that 8 homebuyers will be assisted.
• CalHome Program funds from the 2025 award, in the amount of $1,500,000 will be available for home repairs from 2026-2029. It is anticipated that twenty-five (25) homes will be assisted. • It is anticipated that the City will continue to partner the CalHome Program loans with the CDBG owner occupied housing rehabilitation grant program to provide much needed larger repair projects.
• In 2026 the City will set aside additional funding in the amount of $1,325,988 in local and state funds for the 135 Osmun Senior Apartments to enable the developers to build a more competitive application for other available state financing programs such as the Tax Credit Allocation Committee Program, Multi-Family Housing Program, and HOME Program, as follows:
o Existing PLHA Program Funds: $525,988
o Future PLHA Program Funds: $500,000
o Existing Housing Trust Fund Program Funds: $100,000
o Future Housing Trust Fund Program Funds: $200,000
• Local funds in the amount of $500,000 will be available through the City’s Affordable Housing Development Impact Fee Deferral Program which will provide for the deferral of up to 50% of a housing unit’s major facility sewer and water impact fees, depending on income targeting/affordability of the unit. The City will set aside additional funding to assist up to 120 affordable housing units, per year, over the next Consolidated Plan Period. • Local funds in the amount of $100,000 will be available, on a yearly basis, through the City’s Housing Trust Fund Program to fund affordable housing development/activities. These program funds will be leveraged with state and federal program funds, as applicable, to maximize affordable housing opportunities.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The City currently has identified two publicly owned properties within the jurisdiction to address the affordable housing needs identified in the plan.
Discussion
In the 2024-2025 program year, the City identified two parcels of City-owned land that have been reserved for addressing the affordable housing needs identified in this Action Plan. One property is located at 354 Osmun Avenue (0.43+/- acres) and is currently used as a parking lot. The second property is located at 650 Fowler Avenue (0.89+/- acres), and currently includes an existing building previously used as a fire station. The properties are part of the City of Clovis’ Housing Trust Fund, which is programmed to help incentivize the development of affordable housing including expanding and preserving Clovis' affordable housing stock. Staff will continue to search for additional land purchase and/or acquisition opportunities.
The City anticipates making the two properties available for affordable housing activities during the upcoming five-year Consolidated Plan period. They City may decide to sell either or both properties if they are infeasible for affordable housing development, or if the City otherwise decides, and invest the proceeds in affordable housing development/activities.

Annual Action Plan - 2026 148
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Affordable Housing Development Impact Fee Deferral Program which will provide for the deferral of up to 50% of a housing unit’s major facility sewer and water impact fees, depending on income targeting/affordability of the unit.
• Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program, which is a permanent funding source for affordable housing activities. Clovis is an entitlement jurisdiction and receives an annual entitlement funding amount that varies based on revenues from a $75 recording fee on real estate documents in California. During the first planning cycle for PLHA (5-years; 2019-2023) the City received $2,112,913.
• Clovis Housing Trust Fund Program which established a local fund to hold and expend affordable housing funds and be available to accept the future transfer of real property into the name of the Housing Trust Fund to assist in the development and preservation of affordable housing. • Mixed Income Zoning Ordinance, will establish a local ordinance that will require market rate housing development projects, which contain 11 or more housing units, to set aside 5% of the housing units as affordable housing. The Ordinance will have additional proposed compliance measures, such as payment of an in-lieu fee and donation of land. Though the program is not approved as of the writing of this document, City staff will present the program to City Council requesting their review and approval during the 2025-2026 program year. As this program is projected to be implemented, there will be additional resources available through the City for affordable housing development.
• All program funds will be leveraged with state and federal program funds, as applicable, to maximize affordable housing opportunities.
Additionally, the City works closely with the Fresno Housing Authority to provide referrals to the Housing Choice Voucher program for Clovis residents. As population demographics continue to change and affordable housing needs continue to rise, Clovis will explore further partnerships with affordable housing developers to develop additional affordable housing projects in Clovis.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.220(i) Introduction
The City of Clovis doesn’t receive direct state or federal funding to assist the homeless population or other special needs populations. Regardless, the City of Clovis is an active member of the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC), which is the organization that acts as the regional planning body to address homelessness in the region. This collaborative group addresses chronic homelessness, homelessness prevention, and discharge coordination policies on a region-wide basis for Fresno and Madera Counties, which includes the City of Clovis. Based upon the consultation process, the City has recognized a need for shelters for other at-risk populations such as youth and veterans, and in 2024 provided funding to a 75-unit permanent supportive housing project, Butterfly Gardens, that provides permanent supportive housing units for disabled and at-risk homeless individuals.
Additionally, in the last several years, the City has provided CDBG funds to the Marjaree Mason Center, a local non-profit that provides safe shelter and lifesaving supportive services for individuals and families affected by domestic violence. The City proposes to continue funding the MMC in the 2026-2027 fiscal year with CDBG funds in the amount of $61,491. In addition to the provision of CDBG funds, the City will continue to pursue other local and State/County Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding and projects to serve these populations.
The FMCOC conducted a PIT in early 2025 and another in early 2026. The reporting and analysis for these counts are not available as of the drafting of this narrative. City of Clovis specific data is also not available.
In 2024, there was a total of 1,357 sheltered persons counted in the 2024 PIT Count in Fresno County.
No unsheltered PIT Count was conducted in 2024. It is estimated that approximately 4,140 persons in households with adult(s) and child(ren) are experiencing homelessness each year.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
As mentioned above, the City proposes to again provide 2026-2027 program year CDBG funds to the Marjaree Mason Center. This program will be used to support 24/7 safe shelter and critical support services for survivors of domestic violence as well as outreach programs which increase awareness of domestic violence and its impact on the community. Families that are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking are most likely to need emergency housing, rapid rehousing, or homeless prevention assistance as they may be hiding from their assailants. They are at risk of being homeless as a result of their experiences. It is anticipated that 260 persons will receive assistance with this CDBG funded program.
Annual Action Plan - 2026 151
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Additionally, the City proposes to apply for other available resources to assist those experiencing homelessness, such as the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The ESG funds will be available for competitive applications to non-entitlement jurisdictions of ESG, through the County of Fresno, in the upcoming planning cycle.
The City is also an active supporter of the FMCoC’s Coordinated Entry System. The Coordinated Entry System provides an integrated intake process that connects individuals facing housing, domestic violence, substance abuse, physical health and/or mental health challenges to supportive services.
Those needing service can access the system at various multi-Agency access points of entry (MAP), or via telephone. MAP access points are located throughout the County, and specifically at the Poverello House (a homeless shelter), Fresno EOC, The Welcome Center and at the Marjaree Mason Center. Those needing homeless services within Clovis are referred to the MAP sites, and/or to the 24-hour telephone access line.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Clovis amended their Development Code to allow emergency shelters and transitional housing, by-right, in any area that allows residential development. The first project to come to fruition was Butterfly Gardens. In the 2026-2027 program year, the City of Clovis will also provide CDBG funds to the Marjaree Mason Center to provide assistance to survivors of domestic violence. The number of survivors seeking safe shelter and domestic violence support services continues to rise each year. Clients will be provided with comprehensive case management services, individual and group counseling, legal advocacy, housing assistance, employment assistance, financial planning, transportation and linkages to additional service providers when appropriate.
Additionally, the City proposes to apply for other available resources to assist those experiencing homelessness, such as the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The ESG funds will be available for competitive applications to non-entitlement jurisdictions of ESG, through the County of Fresno, the upcoming planning cycle.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In October 2022, the City welcomed its first dedicated permanent supportive housing development, Butterfly Gardens. The 75-unit project was a result of a partnership with the County of Fresno Behavioral Health Department, and a private non-profit housing developer. Butterfly Gardens provides housing and supportive services to disabled individuals and at-risk homeless individuals. City staff
Annual Action Plan - 2026 152
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
continue to meet regularly with management staff from Butterfly Gardens to provide any needed support and to ensure the project partnership continues. Additionally, City staff regularly refers persons needing housing assistance to the various MAP sites, and to the 24-hour intake telephone line.
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.
Clovis residents have access to many facilities within Fresno County, including assisted and independent residential facilities for both the general adult population and the elderly. According to the California Department of Social Services, there are over 200 residential elderly care facilities in the County of Fresno, with capacity for over 5,000 persons. There are over 150 Adult residential facilities, with capacity for over 900 persons.
• Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly provide care, supervision and assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and grooming. They may also provide incidental medical services under special care plans. The facilities provide services to persons 60 years of age and over, and persons under 60 with comparable needs. These facilities can also be known as assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and board and care homes.
Adult Residential Facilities are facilities of any capacity that provide 24-hour non-medical care for adults ages 18-59, who are unable to provide for their own daily needs. Adults may be physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, and/or mentally disabled.
Discussion
The Marjaree Mason Center has over 40 years of experience in providing safe shelter and lifesaving supportive services for individuals and families affected by domestic violence. CDBG funds will be used to support 24/7 safe shelter and critical support services for survivors of domestic violence as well as outreach programs which increase awareness of domestic violence and its impact on the community.
Domestic violence is a vicious cycle of power and control that includes (but is not limited to) isolation, physical assault, verbal abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and financial abuse; the long-term effects of which often lead victims to experience depression, anxiety, fear, homelessness, unemployment and financial instability. Clients will receive comprehensive case management services, individual and group counseling, legal advocacy, housing assistance, employment assistance, financial planning, transportation and linkages to additional service providers when appropriate.
In October 2022, the City welcomed its first dedicated permanent supportive housing development, Butterfly Gardens. The 75-unit project was a result of a partnership with the County of Fresno

AP-75 Action Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.220(j) Introduction
Clovis faces barriers to affordable housing that are common across housing markets, including decreasing supply of developable land, which increases the cost of acquisition and development of the land. Another common barrier is negative reaction from neighbors regarding affordable housing development based upon a misconception that property values will decline and cause an increase in parking and traffic. Over the last several years, the region has experienced a rapid rise in home values, and interest rates, thereby pricing out first-time homebuyers from the home ownership market. Though home values are still significantly lower than what can be found in other regions in the state, such as the Bay Area, Central Coast and Southern California, the asking prices for homes in the Central Valley are still beyond reach for most lower income families. Although the number of active listings is higher, and interest rates are lower this year than in recent years, home sales have slowed due to these market forces.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
The City of Clovis’ 2023-2031 Housing Element identifies several governmental constraints to development, including: lack of transportation options, parking requirements in development code, and rising development fees.
Nongovernmental constraints were identified as follows: Construction Costs and Availability of Financing. To that end, City staff regularly partners with affordable housing developers to strategize on financing needs and resources available to bring down the cost of housing construction.
Discussion
Obtaining financing for purchasing a first home can be a daunting task. Many low-income families depend on the availability of government resources to assist them complete a financing package to purchase a home. Clovis staff will continue to apply for and administer mortgage assistance, or first-time homebuyer programs to assist low-income families purchase a home. For the 2026-2027 program year, Clovis proposes to utilize federal funds and state funds for downpayment assistance/mortgage assistance.
The 2023-2031 City of Clovis Housing Element includes a Housing Plan that contains the goals, policies, implementation programs, and quantified objectives for the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing in Clovis. The focus of the Housing Plan is to identify goals, policies, and programs to meet the housing needs of all income groups while preserving and enhancing existing neighborhoods, removing impediments to housing growth, reducing living expenses that are indirectly

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
related to housing, such as transportation costs and energy costs, and to affirmatively further fair housing. The Housing Plan also provides implementation programs that identifies departmental responsibility for carrying out actions in order to accomplish the goals of the Housing Plan.
The City of Clovis is currently identifying strategies to assist in addressing public policies that pose barriers to affordable housing. During the upcoming Consolidated Plan Period the City’s Transportation Department will be implementing a new route plan for their transit services (buses) to better serve the growing population found in Clovis. It is anticipated that new routes, and new bus schedules will help remove barriers and access to affordable housing. Additionally, City staff regularly reviews all development fees that are imposed on new development, and works to ensure that the fees are not impediments to development.
City of Clovis Planning staff also regularly reviews the Development Code to ensure compliance with new state law that assists in removing barriers for housing development, and is currently working to create capacity to provide for approximately 1,284 additional housing units. It is anticipated that 20 parcels will be rezoned to High and/or Very High Density residential land uses, and to the R-3 or R-4 multi-family zone districts. City staff will request City Council review/approve the changes in spring 2026 to facilitate housing development.

Incentives programming, and assists developers in the application for and implementation of this tool.
Additional incentives or concessions are reviewed and approved by the City if the development meets income targeting thresholds. These can include reductions in standards such as setback requirements, approval of mixed-use land uses not otherwise authorized by code, and other incentives that may be requested by the applicant.
The City will also continue to administer its "Cottage Home Program" to incentivize the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADU). The City offers three pre-approved ADU building plans free of charge to residents who propose to build a Cottage Home on their property. A goal of the program is to provide additional affordable housing opportunities for the community.
The City of Clovis prioritizes activities that preserve or develop the affordable housing stock in Clovis.
The City actively seeks partnerships with affordable housing developers for the creation of new affordable housing rental units and/or the preservation of existing units. The City also administers several affordable housing programs in-house as follows:
• Owner-Occupied Housing Repair Program (local, state and federal funding) • First Time-Homebuyer / Downpayment Assistance
• Rental Housing Development and Financing
• Affordable Housing Development Impact Fee Deferral Program • Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program
• Clovis Housing Trust Fund Program
• Mixed Income Zoning Ordinance (proposed)
Additionally, the City works closely with the Fresno Housing Authority to provide referrals to the Housing Choice Voucher program for Clovis residents. As population demographics continue to change and affordable housing needs continues to rise, Clovis will explore further partnerships with affordable housing developers to develop additional affordable housing projects in Clovis.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
City staff will continue to provide households with resources and guidance to reduce lead-based paint hazards. All housing program participants receive the "Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home" pamphlet published by the US Environmental Protection Agency. All required precautions are taken to ensure lead is not disturbed with projects assisted with CDBG funds, and that vulnerable residents are not exposed. Additionally, City staff provides copies of the pamphlet at resource fairs throughout the year.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City was recently awarded State of California CalHome program funds focused on owner-occupied mobile home rehabilitation, including mobile home replacements, which house extremely and very lowPage 294 of 1024 Annual Action Plan - 2026 158
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
income seniors who are at high risk of homelessness. During the 2026-2027 program year, the City will complete the implementation of this program and apply for additional funding as it becomes available.
A portion of the CalHome program funds will be used for down-payment assistance. The funds are intended to help persons focus their resources on non-housing needs thereby reducing their susceptibility to poverty.
The City is also a recipient of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program funds. PLHA program funds are currently set aside to assist developers in building a 47-unit affordable senior housing development. The project is currently in pre-development. In the 2026-2027 program year, developers will apply for state and federal development funds. The project is expected to assist low-income and very low-income seniors, many living in poverty and at risk of homelessness.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
City of Clovis staff responsible for the administration of the CDBG program will continue to access online, local and regional training to improve and enhance the City's knowledge of the CDBG regulations, provide fair housing opportunities, enforce non-discrimination laws, build healthy homes, and reduce lead hazards.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City of Clovis will continue to maintain memberships and participation in the FMCoC, and the San Joaquin Valley Housing Collaborative to enhance coordination between City staff and public and private housing service agencies. In addition, the City will continue to work closely with the Fresno Housing Authority (Fresno Housing), our local Habitat for Humanity, Self-Help Enterprises, Fresno County Department of Social Services, and other local affordable housing developers to enhance coordination activities between agencies.
Discussion
The City of Clovis is committed to seeking funding, coordinating with agencies, and planning for the provision of services to our community, particularly those in high need.

As a recipient of CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the City must develop a Consolidated Plan that will provide the framework for utilizing CDBG Program funds over the five-year period beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2031.

Plan Consolidado
Se requiere un Plan Consolidado para que la ciudad pueda recibir fondos del Programa de Subvenciones en Bloque para el Desarrollo Comunitario (CDBG en ingles) del Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano de los Estados Unidos (HUD en ingles). Los fondos del CDBG deben destinarse a actividades que cumplan uno de los tres objetivos nacionales, que son: garantizar una vivienda digna, proporcionar un entorno de vida adecuado y/o ampliar las oportunidades económicas. El Plan Consolidado se elabora para determinar cómo se alcanzarán estos objetivos a lo largo de un periodo de cinco años en la Ciudad de Clovis. Se dará máxima prioridad a la financiación de actividades que beneficien a personas con ingresos bajos o moderados, que contribuyan a la prevención o eliminación de areas marginales o zonas degradadas, y/o que satisfagan otras necesidades urgentes de desarrollo comunitario.
Plan de Acción Anual
El objetivo del Plan de Acción Anual es mostrar cómo se utilizarán los fondos del Programa CDBG de la Ciudad durante el año fiscal 2026-2027, de manera que se enfoquen en las necesidades, prioridades y objetivos contenidos en el Plan Consolidado 2026-2030 propuesto por la Ciudad.
Las asignaciones de fondos del programa CDBG del Departamento de HUD, para el año 2026-2027, no han sido aprobadas por el gobierno federal. A aun así Clovis estima recibir una asignación de $710,000. Esta asignación, junto con $87,951 en fondos adicionales disponibles del año pasado, sumará un total de $797,951 en fondos de CDBG para ser repartidos entre varias actividades para el programa CDBG del año 2026-2027.
El uso propuesto para los fondos CDBG es el siguiente:
• Rehabilitación de Viviendas- $130,000
• Ayuda a Micro-Empresa: Cocina Culinaria - $87,000
• Servicios Sociales en el Centro de la Tercera Edad de Clovis - $40,000 • Servicios Sociales para Victimas de Violencia Domestica en el Centro Marjaree Mason Clovis - $61,491 • Mejoras de Callejon: Cole/Elm - $193,000
• Mejoras de Accesibilidad e Instalación de Banqueta y Rampas (Estabrook/Music/Acacia) - $144,460 • Administración – $142,000
Cualquier aumento o disminución en el nivel estimado de fondos del CDBG se aplicará al proyecto de Mejoras de Accesibilidad e Instalación de Banqueta y Rampas (Estabrook/Music/Acacia) y a la administración (20% como máximo).
Mediante este aviso, la Ciudad de Clovis invita a las personas interesadas o que puedan verse afectadas por las actividades en el Plan Consolidado y/o en el Plan de Acción Anual a que presenten sus comentarios por escrito, ya sea en persona, por teléfono, por correo postal o por correo electrónico (véase la información de contacto más abajo), y/o a que asistan a la audiencia pública para expresar sus opiniones y comentarios.
