In the past 5 years, Coachella has received approximately 201 code complaints based on housing conditions. The majority of the complaints (>90 percent) were related to illegal, nonconforming buildings rather than substandard housing conditions. Assuming some overlap between housing complaints, the City conservatively assumes approximately 10 housing units in need of rehabilitation, which is less than 0.1 percent of the total housing stock (10,631 units). Housing complaints were not localized in any one part of the City.
On a qualitative basis, the City notes observable difference in the housing stock conditions based on the age of the structure and time the area developed. The City’s single family residential stock constructed before 1980 in neighborhoods in the Downtown area East of Cesar Chavez Street and in the Colonia Coachellita South of Avenue 52 and West of Cesar Chavez are in need of the most improvement according to windshield surveys by Code Enforcement Division staff; however, there are not any issues localized in any location. The single family residential housing stock constructed after 1980 are located mainly to the West of these older neighborhood were observed to be in good condition. Existing multi-family housing developments in the City were largely constructed after 1970 as affordable housing developments and some of these apartments have been refurbished or rebuilt. Coachella Community Homes, a 100 unit multi-family residential complex, located at 84720 Calle Rojo is owned by the Coachella Valley Housing Coalition and was constructed in 1969. The complex was rehabilitated in 2012. The Coachella Valley Apartments development at 84914 Bagdad Avenue consisted of 50 units of affordable multi-family housing was built in the 1970s and is currently being redeveloped as a 110-unit multi-family development by Community Housing Opportunities Corporation.
Displacement Risk
The University of California Berkeley’s Urban Displacement Project (UDP) uses data-driven research to produce maps identifying sensitive communities that are at-risk of displacement. UDP defines sensitive communities as currently having “populations vulnerable to displacement in the event of increased redevelopment and drastic shifts in housing cost”. Vulnerability was determined based on the following characteristics:
• The share of very low-income residents is above 20 percent:
Item 27.
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing City of Coachella | F-37 AND
• The tract meets two of the following criteria:
o Share of renters is above 40 percent
o Share of people of color is above 50 percent
o Share of very low-income households that are severely rent burdened households is above the county median
o Percent change in rent is above county median rent increase o Rent gap, which is the difference between tract median rent and median rent for surrounding areas
UDP has identified vulnerable communities within city limits based on these criteria (Figure F-23).

F-38 | City of Coachella Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Homelessness
Information on homelessness and City resources for homeless persons is provided in Section A.3.5 Special Housing Needs of the Needs Assessment (Appendix A).
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires communities to conduct a Point-in-Time (PIT) Count of individuals and families experiencing homelessness every two years in January. The most recent PIT for Riverside County was conducted in 2023 by the County of Riverside Continuum of Care (CoC). According to the most recent PIT, there were an estimated 74 persons experiencing homelessness in Coachella at that time.
The City PIT count discovered a pattern of unhoused individuals who were living in the 6th Street Downtown Area behind buildings likely due to the availability of public services, a City park and public restrooms in the area. Many unhoused individuals were found living along vacant land along the Union Pacific Railroad in areas screened by maintained landscaping or overgrown shrubs for screening. Unhoused individuals were identified along the commercial corridor at Cesar Chavez Street in well concealed areas at commercial center. A large community of unhoused individuals were identified within a mesquite forest area along Cal Trans right of way at the 86 Expressway. Lastly, unhoused individuals were found in vacant areas adjacent to the Love’s Truck Stop near the Interstate 10 freeway.
CV Housing First Program is overseen by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) to help homeless individuals and families find housing solutions which includes case management to help in the goals of permanent housing, programs and family reunification. The City of Coachella participates in this program and Code Enforcement Division staff contacts the CVAG program when homeless individuals are encountered to identify locations where services are needed.
The County of Riverside CoC is a network of private and public sector homeless service providers, designed to promote community-wide planning and the strategic use of resources to address homelessness. Coachella does not have any emergency shelters currently. There are two regionserving shelters in the neighboring community of Indio, which are the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission and Martha’s Village and Kitchen.
F.2.6 Other Relevant Factors
Rates of Homeownership by Race and Ethnicity
The homeownership rate is about 69 percent in Coachella compared to about 53 percent in the SCAG region overall. However, not all racial and ethnic groups have a similar probability of owning a home. The 2019 ACS data for percentages of occupied housing units by race in Coachella is presented in Table F-9. The rates of homeownership versus renting housing are very similar for each racial group. A group that has lower rates of homeownership are more at risk of being displaced due to rising rental prices.

One obstacle to home ownership is lack of access to the first tier of the financial system to obtain banking services and loans. The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) provides the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) July 2021 census tract spatial data known as CRAMap 2021 (www.ffiec.gov/cra/). Included in the CRAMap 2021 spatial data is the Unbanked index which provides an estimate of households lacking access to the primary banking system.
This index estimates the likelihood of a household will lack both a savings and checking account with a bank, thrift, or credit union.
Figure F-23 presents the estimates for the percentages of households that lack access to banking and credit from the CRAMap 2021 Unbanked index. Identifying areas with relatively higher levels of residents without access to the primary banking system can facilitate the process of providing them first-tier financial services. This may aid lower income residents in avoiding a dependency on second-tier services, particularly predatory lenders.
As displayed in Figure F-24, estimates of households without access to primary banking and credit (unbanked) vary across the city. The western and eastern census tracts have the lowest estimates of unbanked households where the rates are 6 to 12 percent in those areas. Unbanked household estimates are higher in more central portions of the city ranging from 18 to 28 percent.
The highest unbanked percentage estimate of 31 percent is in the census tract centered at 52nd Avenue and Harrison Street/Cesar Chavez Street.

Historic Patterns
Other factors that contributed to housing conditions and local housing issues is the pattern of expansion of the City. When the City incorporated in the 1940s, it was comprised of the Downtown Area and the City slowly expanded outward with annexations of areas in agricultural production.
This pattern of growth an expansion contributed to the demographic and socio economic fabric of the Coachella community. This history is in contrast to the resort/country club patterns in the rest of the Coachella Valley which was largely developer driven and facilitated through Specific Plans.
To accommodate the agricultural community and service focused work force (see section below) the City has maintained land reserve for both single family and multi-family development. One of the earliest zoning maps on file at the City is from 1986, which allows for a mix of residential including single family, multi-family, and mobile home.
Local Data and Knowledge
A lot of contributing factors to the state of housing and fair housing related issues in Coachella can trace back to the development of the Coachella Valley and the regional economy. Between
Item 27.
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing City of Coachella | F-41 the early 1950s and 2000s, the Coachella Valley experienced vacant desert land transition into leisure and resort communities driven by golf with exclusive gated country clubs. Development trended Eastward from Palm Springs and resulted in sprawling golf course communities that also spread prolifically into the City of La Quinta with 18 golf communities and to some extent in the City of Indio. Many service sector employees that service the leisure and resort communities located in areas with more affordable housing options in the cities of Indio and Coachella, that are not available in or characteristic of exclusive gated country club communities, and would therefore rely on long commutes westward to Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indians Wells, and La Quinta. Revenue generating uses like retail development and hotels concentrated in many of the leisure and resort communities like Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and La Quinta and resulted in a significant amount of retail revenue leakage from the City of Coachella and therefore a smaller revenue base to fund key services than is characteristic of wealthier surrounding cities.
F.2.7 Summary of Fair Housing Issues
Access to opportunity in Coachella is low for some portions of the city and other areas are subject to racial segregation as evidenced by evidenced by TCAC Opportunity Areas Composite Scores (Figure F-11) and the presence of R/ECAPs (Figure F-9) within the city. Many areas of the city exhibit overpayment by renters and owners (Figures 18 and 19) and households in these areas are subject to higher levels of overcrowding (Figure F-20). A wide area of the city also contains sensitive communities that are vulnerable to displacement (Figure F-23). Additionally, many households are estimated to lack access to the primary banking system (Figure F-24).
The primary fair housing issue in Coachella is segregation and integration due to the presence of R/ECAPs and high segregation and poverty TCAC Composite Scores. The contributing factor to this primary issue is land use and zoning laws limiting where multifamily housing can be built. This contributing factor is evident due to the high levels of overpayment by homeowners and renters and high levels of overcrowding in those same areas. This evidence suggests that households of various sizes and characteristics would choose more affordable housing if available.
The secondary fair housing issue in Coachella is racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty due to the combination of R/ECAPs and sensitive communities in the same neighborhoods. The contributing factor to this primary issue is displacement of residents due to economic pressures because of disadvantaged households facing housing insecurity and economic hardship.
The third fair housing issue is disproportionate housing needs because of the contributing factor of a lack available affordable units in a range of sizes. High levels of overpayment by renters and homeowners in the city indicates that many residents are struggling to afford housing costs.
The fourth fair housing issue is disparities in access to opportunity due to the high estimates for the number of unbanked households in most of the city’s census tracts. The contributing factor to
Item 27.
F-42 | City of Coachella Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing this issue is access to financial services because those unbanked households will be unable to obtain financial services from the primary banking system.
Section F.3 Sites Inventory
AB 686 requires a jurisdiction’s site inventory to be consistent with its duty to affirmatively further fair housing. This section evaluates the City’s site inventory locations against various measures in the Assessment of Fair Housing that includes income level, racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, access to opportunity, and environmental risk to determine any socio-economic patterns or implications.
Figure F-25 shows all Census tracts within the City. Table F-10 provides a Census tract-level summary of all RHNA units relative to a variety of characteristics that impact fair housing.

F-44 | City of Coachella Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing F.3.1 Potential Effects on Patterns of Segregation
A comparison of a jurisdiction’s site inventory against its LMI population and R/ECAP area can reveal if the city’s accommodation of housing is exacerbating or ameliorating segregation and social inequity. Figure F-26 shows the locations of Coachella’s sites inventory relative to LMI population percentages, and Figure F-27 shows the distributions of city and site areas relative to LMI population percentages.
The city contains two LMI percentage categories, less than 25 percent and 50 to 75 percent LMI households. The lowest category covers six percent of city area and contains five percent of the site inventory area (Figure F-26). The other LMI percentage category represents most of the city area at 94 percent and contains 95 percent of site inventory area. The site inventory is therefore not anticipated to exacerbate fair housing issues with regard to LMI households because the distribution of sites parallels LMI population percentages within in the city.

Figure F-27: Percentage of City and Sites Areas across Low to Moderate Income Populations Source: HCD AFFH Spatial Data and LWC
Figures F-28 and F-29 display the site inventory and city areas associated with R/ECAPs. The amounts of city and site inventory areas that are within and outside R/ECAPs are similar. Thirtytwo percent of city area consists of R/ECAPs compared to 27 percent of site inventory area. The portion of city area not within a R/ECAP is 68 percent and the site inventory portion outside of a R/ECAP is 73 percent.
At the scale of individual Census tracts, there is little indication that the distribution of Sites satisfying lower-income RHNA will exacerbate patterns of segregation in the City. Census tracts entirely within the City are relatively similar in terms of the AFFH indicators summarized in Table F-10, best visualized by Figure F-23 showing these tracts identified as “Vulnerable” by the UC Berkeley Urban Displacement Project’s methodology. Those tracts with a higher median income than most of the City (i.e., Tract 452.22) or a lower poverty rate (i.e., Tract 456.06) include many households outside City limits.
To illustrate, Tracts 457.03 and 457.07 host the greatest amount of lower-income RHNA capacity, 506 units and 699 units respectively. Compared to other tracts entirely within City limits, the poverty rate and percentage of LMI households in these tracts is slightly lower than adjacent ones.
Tracts with both the highest poverty rate and LMI household figures in the City (i.e., Tracts 457.04 and 457.05) host a RHNA mix of lower-, moderate-, and above moderate-income units.
Overall, RHNA capacity is relatively well-distributed throughout the City, not isolated in any one location within the City, with mixed-income development slated to occur in tracts where the greatest amount of land is available (e.g., Tracts 457.06, 457.05, and 457.03) and related General Plan implementation is anticipated to benefit both new and existing residents. 6 0

Source: HCD AFFH Spatial Data and LWC
Figure F-31 shows the distribution of Coachella sites across the TCAC Opportunity Area Composite Score categories. Moderate resource regions constitute 13 percent of city area and eight percent of site inventory area. Most of the city area is within the low resource category at 74 percent while the portion of site area within this category is 37 percent. Most of the site inventory area is located within high segregation and poverty areas at 55 percent. Due to these disparities in area distribution, the site inventory may tend to exacerbate fair housing trends regarding access to opportunities. The three census tracts that are within high segregation and poverty areas (Tracts 457.04, 457.05, and 457.06) are estimated to accommodate 4,805 units. However; the majority of the housing growth is expected in the moderate and above moderate income categories, with only 7 percent (377 units) of the sites expected for low income. The missing/insufficient data category contains 38 and six percent of city and sites inventory area, respectively.

Figure F-32 shows the sites inventory locations across the city’s CalEnviroScreen scores. The city contains seven CalEnviroScreen scores. The lowest score range is 11 to 20 percent (decile score two) risk of exposure to environmental hazards and the highest range signifies 81 to 90 percent (decile score nine) risk of exposure to environmental hazards. The CalEnviroScreen percentage score of 61 to 70 percent (decile score seven) covers the majority of city area.
Figure F-33 shows the distribution of sites across the range of CalEnviroScreen scores represented as deciles (one to 10). CalEnviroScreen decile seven (61 to 70 percent risk level) encompasses 66 percent of city area and onlyeight percent of the sites inventory area. The CalEnviroScreen decile score with the largest percentage of site inventory area is nine (71 to 80 percent risk level) with 37 percent of the inventory area. This score encompasses approximately 14 percent of city area. The next lowest decile score of eight contains seven percent of city area and 27 percent of the site inventory area. As a result of these differences, the site inventory may tend to exacerbate fair housing issues regarding exposure to environmental hazards. 0 0 0
