Water System Well Rehabilitation Project Update
April 25, 2023
3. Clean water is vital to our health, community and economy.
We use water on a daily basis to drink, shower, wash our clothes, and cook etc…
Protecting America’s drinking water is a top priority for Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA has
established protective drinking water standards for more than 90 contaminants, including drinking water regulations issued since the 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking
Water Act that strengthen public health protection.
The City of Compton Water Department strives to meet
and or exceed the state and federal drinking water
standards
On March 11, 2021, The President of the United States signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act ( ARPA ) that provides funding to be invested in necessary improvements of water infrastructure, including building , repairing or upgrading facilities and transmission, distribution and storage systems On June 10, 2021 , the City received ARPA funds from the US Department of Treasury and allocated $7,988,000 to be used specifically for the water infrastructure upgrades.
On May 17th 2022 The City Council approved resolution # 25662 amending the Municipal Water Department’s Fiscal Year 2021‐ 2022 Budget appropriating $7,988,000.00 of the American Rescue Plan Act Funds to the Water Department Capital Budget to improve the water infrastructure.
In December 20, 2022, these funds were re‐appropriated to the Municipal Water Department’s Fiscal Year 2022‐2023 Budget.
As of 3
rd Quarter of 2022 the City's Water Department has been working on items to keep system going while working on developing an RFP to bring on a Engineering Firm to assist with the upgrades
In the interim SCEdison was hired to investigate and conduct Infrared Panel Inspection ‐ Edison inspected all wells electrical panels to identify poor electrical connections using an infrared thermal imaging camera. This process helped identify issues that could have caused a major malfunction as a result of poor electrical connections.
On December 2022 Well 17 Motor and Breaker went bad after a power outage. Staff hired General Pump to replace the bad motor and breaker to get well 17 back up and running.
Well 15 has been hit with positive bact samples after the rains.
Staff successfully disinfected the well from top to bottom to get this well back up and running into the water distribution system.
Water Department Staff has been evaluating the conditions of the 8 wells and 4 reservoirs to create a priority list
2 of the 8 wells are out of service
Well 16 is out of service due to sanding issues and need to have this well reevaluated to see what is the best remedy for this well
Well 20 – was built in 2016 but to this day does not have an operating permit as a result it sat idle from 2016 till present .
Equipment at well site needs to be repaired and or replaced due to non operational boosters as they are seized and needs repair or replacement.
Furthermore the Water Treatment System to remove Iron and Manganese from the water has to be inspected and it may require the removal and replacement of the media inside the canister as it sat idle since 2016 rendering it inoperable.
Staff is researching and contacting the Contractors that helped design and construct that system to get help in reestablish the well to be able to receive an operating permit from the DDW • Funds were appropriated into our Water Capital Budget on Dec 2022 • Request for Proposal for consultant initiated and advertised April 5, 2023, deadline for submittals is April 26th 2023 at 4pm.
• Walk‐through meeting was held on April 18, 2023 to show consultants the well sites and reservoirs, 4 good consultants participated.
• Department will rate the consultants for the work to be done May 3rd 2023 • Department will recommend the consultant for council’s approval May 23, 2023
• ARPA money priority's will be the water well rehabilitation and reservoir upgrades, but funds can be used for mainline replacement • The Funds will need to be dedicated by December 2024 and projects completed by December 2026
Municipal Water Department’s Plan
Current On going projects
• As of February 2023 Staff is working with the Water
Replenishment District (WRD) to receive assistance in
the design and build of a of a Water Treatment Plant to be built for Well 16‐18‐19 to help address VOC’s and
PFOS detected at these wells thru a low or zero interest loan to help subsidize the ARPA funds
Our Water Production Department

FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AMENDING THE CITY OF COMPTON MASTER FEE SCHEDULE TO
INCREASE USER FEE RATES BY THE CUMULATIVE COST-OF-LIVING
ADJUSTMENT BASED ON THE CHANGE IN THE CONSUMER PRICE
INDEX
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider adopting an ordinance which will amend the City’s Master Fee Schedule to increase user fee rates by the cumulative cost-of-living adjustment based on the change in the Consumer Price Index.
BACKGROUND
On October 10, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24,668, which adopted a Master Fee Schedule for services and facility rental fees and charges provided by the City. The current user fees which were adopted in 2017 have not been increased by a Consumer Price Index factor since adoption.
In October 2017, the City of Compton (the “City”) engaged Willdan Financial Services to complete a user fee justification study and assist the City in implementing user fees that are less than or equal to the reasonable cost incurred by the City to undertake services that qualify as user fees, consistent with Proposition 218 and the California Code of Regulations.
Included in the October 2017 study was the ability to increase the established fees by an annual cost of living adjustment, based on the change in the Consumer Price Index.
Earlier this year, the City engaged Willdan Financial Services to review the prior User Fee Study and recommend rates for 2023 that are consistent with the previously approved cost-of-living adjustment.
California law dictates that government revenues can generally be categorized as taxes, assessments, and fees/charges. The designation of a revenue as one of those categories depends on various factors, and its designation determines what process a government must undertake to establish or increase the rate and manner of collection. An amount that is charged to an individual or single entity to offset public spending in connection with the provision of a benefit or service to that individual is referred to as a User Fee.
4. Staff Report-Willdan Financial Services- Planned Cost of Living Increases to User Fee Rates May 9, 2023
Governments are able to collect an amount less than or equal to the reasonable cost of providing the benefit or service to the user. This differs from restrictions placed on the establishment of taxes and assessments, which both must be approved by election or ballot proceeding. Since the services provided in conjunction with user fees benefit individuals rather than the public-at-large, cities are encouraged to recover the full reasonable cost of providing such services.
User fees are also typically subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment to ensure that user fee revenues keep up with increasing municipal costs. The City has not implemented the cost-of-living adjustment since the establishment of the fees in 2017. Consequently, Willdan Financial Services recommends that the City increase their user fee rates by the cumulative cost-of-living adjustment authorized when the fees were established.
Willdan Financial Services has developed and tested the updated fee exhibit and prepared a presentation and a final updated fee Exhibit to City Council for review and adoption.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The 2017 User Fee Study was approved on October 10, 2017 by Resolution 24,668. The resolution states the following:
The Master Schedule of Fees [will] be annually adjusted in December in accordance with changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and be part of the budgetary process.
The annual changes in the CPI since the date of adoption are shown in the table below.
Staff Report-Willdan Financial Services- Planned Cost of Living Increases to User Fee Rates May 9, 2023
Consistent with the method for cost of living increases authorized by the Resolution, staff recommends that the 2017 fees be increased by a maximum of 21.30% to arrive at rates for 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
Recovery of estimated reasonable costs of fees since adoption in 2017 of the Master Fee Schedule and cumulative cost-of-living adjustment based on the change in the Consumer Price Index.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the adoption of the attached Ordiance.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON ADOPTING AND AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF THE CITY’S
FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024 CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL ACTION PLAN TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

GRANT (HOME) PROGRAMS
SUMMARY
On May 9, 2023, the City Council will conduct a public hearing to receive public input on the City of Compton’s draft Consolidated Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023- 2024. At the conclusion of the public hearing, Staff requests the City Council to adopt and authorize the City Manager to submit to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the City’s FY 2023-2024 Consolidated Annual Action Plan which outlines the goals for the investment of annual allocations of funds from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), and the HOME Investment Partnership Grant (HOME). The adoption of this Resolution will also authorize the City Manager to submit any requisite federal fund applications and execute any and all documents as required.
BACKGROUND
In order to be eligible to receive federal funds, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the City of Compton (“City”) to prepare an Annual Action Plan for each of the five (5) years covered by the City’s 5-Year Consolidated Plan (2019- 2024). The City must develop a Consolidated Annual Action Plan, which combines into a single submission to HUD the planning and application elements for the CDBG and HOME grants. The City produces the Action Plan annually before May 15th of each fiscal year to ensure its eligibility for CDBG and HOME grant funds.
HUD’s Fiscal Year 2023-2024 federal grant allocation for the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is $1,396,450. In addition, $10,000 from fiscal year 2021-2022 and $10,000 from FY 2022-2023 where Southern California Jr. Cricket declined CDBG funds both years, those funds will be re-appropriated at the digression of the City Manager. Furthermore, $60,000 is being carried over from FY 2021-2022 for Children’s Clinic, resulting in a total of $1,436,450 available for programming. The City’s HOME program allocation for fiscal year 2023-2024 is $582,201 for programming.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary – 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Each year, the City of Compton (City) participates as an Entitlement Grantee (EG) in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and as a Participating Jurisdiction (PJ) in the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). These programs are administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and provides funding for a variety of different community development, housing, and public service activities.
CDBG Program
The CDBG program is authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, with the primary purpose of developing viable communities. The CDBG regulations require that at least 70 percent of all CDBG funds are used to benefit low- and moderate-income residents who are members of households that earn less than 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI). Regulations governing the CDBG program require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet at least one (1) of the three (3) broad national objectives:
1) Benefit people with low- and moderate-incomes;
2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or 3) Meet an urgent need (such as earthquake, flood, or hurricane relief).
According to HUD's Consolidated Plan Final Rule, the overall goal of community planning and development programs is to develop viable urban communities by providing:
• Decent Housing (DH);
• A Suitable Living Environment (SL); and
• Expanding Economic Opportunities (EO)
principally for low- and moderate-income persons. In addition to meeting one (1) of the General Objective Categories above, HUD requires that project activities funded with entitlement funds also meet one (1) of the following three (3) General Outcome Categories:
1) Availability/Accessibility;
2) Affordability; or
3) Sustainability.
2 | P a g e
Each activity funded will thus have a combination of the Objective and Outcome Category listed in the description (i.e., DH-2 would be Decent Housing that is Affordable), which allows for measuring accomplishments for each of the Consolidated Plan's five years.
HOME Program
The HOME program, created under Title II (the Home Investment Partnerships Act) of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, represented a historic affirmation of the Federal Government’s commitment to providing decent, safe, and affordable housing for all Americans as well as to alleviate the problems of excessive rent burdens, homelessness, and deteriorating housing stock nationwide. Since each community has its own specific needs for addressing adequate, safe, affordable housing, the HOME program was created to help States and local governments respond to those needs. The HOME program was designed to ensure each community would be able to utilize the funds towards activities that would best address the needs of its community. The HOME program allows eligible PJs to use funds on a vast array of eligible activities, including but not limited to new construction, rehabilitation, acquisition of standard housing, assistance to new homebuyers, and tenant-based rental assistance. 2023-2024 Program Year
During the 2023-2024 program year, the City will receive $1,396,450 and $582,201 in CDBG and HOME funds, respectively. In addition, the City will be allocating $20,000* in prior yar CDBG funds to activities that address the community’s needs during the 2023-2024 program year.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan According to HUD’s Consolidated Plan Final Rule, the overall goal of community planning and development programs is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities principally for lowand moderate-income persons as follows:
Outcomes and Objectives
• Decent Housing (DH): Includes assisting homeless persons to obtain appropriate housing and assisting persons at risk of becoming homeless; retention of the affordable housing stock; and increasing the availability of permanent housing in standard condition and affordable cost to low-income and moderate-income families, particularly to members of disadvantaged minorities, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. Decent housing also includes increasing the supply of supportive housing, which combines structural features and services needed to enable persons with special needs, including persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, to live with dignity and independence; and providing housing affordable to low-income persons accessible to job opportunities.
• A Suitable Living Environment (SL): Includes improving the safety and livability of neighborhoods; increasing access to quality public and private facilities and services; reducing the isolation of income groups within a community or geographical area through * $10,000 from 20/21 Southern California Cricket and $10,000 from 21/22 Southern California Cricket 3 | P a g e
the spatial de-concentration of housing opportunities for persons of lower-income and the revitalization of deteriorating or deteriorated neighborhoods; restoring and preserving properties of special historic, architectural, or aesthetic value; and conservation of energy resources.
• Expanded Economic Opportunities (EO): Includes job creation and retention; establishment, stabilization and expansion of small businesses (including microbusinesses); the provision of public services concerned with employment; the provision of jobs involved in carrying out activities under programs covered by this plan to low-income persons living in areas affected by those programs and activities; availability of mortgage financing for low-income persons at reasonable rates using nondiscriminatory lending practices; access to capital and credit for development activities that promote the long-term economic and social viability of the community; and empowerment and self-sufficiency opportunities for low-income persons to reduce generational poverty in federally assisted and public housing.
In addition to meeting one of the General Objective Categories above, HUD requires that project activities funded with entitlement funds also meet one of the following General Outcome Categories: Availability/Accessibility (1), Affordability (2), or Sustainability (3). Each activity funded will thus have a combination of the Objective and Outcome Category listed in the description (i.e., DH-2 would be Decent Housing that is Affordable), which allows for measuring of accomplishments for each of the Consolidated Plan’s five years.
Priorities
During the 2023-2024 program year, the City will be allocating funds towards activities that address the following four (4) High Priority Needs (required Objective and Outcome Category listed in parenthesis and the programs to be funded/implemented noted by bullet point):
Priority 1- Administration and Planning (SL-1) [High Need]: Provide for administration and planning activities to develop housing and community development strategies and programs needed to carry out actions that address identified needs in the Consolidated Plan in accordance with HUD regulations.
• Implementing Programs: 1. CDBG/HOME Administration
Priority 2- Affordable Housing (DH-2) [High Need]: Promote, preserve, and assist in the development of affordable housing for low- and moderate- income residents, special needs groups, those at-risk of homelessness, and disproportionately impacted residents. • Implementing Programs: 1.

3. Evaluation of past performance
The City’s CDBG funded programs implemented over the last year have aided in solving neighborhood and community problems by providing a funding source for underserved needs.
Specifically, the Capital Improvement Projects have given low-income neighborhoods an improved infrastructure system; public services have helped the City's elderly, youth, homeless, at-risk, victims of domestic violence, and other special needs groups; residents have benefitted from Fair Housing and Tenant/Landlord Counseling Services; residents have been provided affordable housing through construction of new housing units and down payment assistance; the housing stock has been sustained through rehabilitation of housing units/lead-based paint testing and abatement, and code enforcement; and emergency shelter and supportive services have been provided to homeless persons/families and/or those at risk of becoming homeless.
All of these projects and experiences have helped guide the City in choosing the goals and projects for the 2023-2024 program year. The City will continue the priorities and projects from the current Consolidated Plan, as there are still unmet needs due to the limited amount of grant funds received each year. It is anticipated that funding received in the next years will not be sufficient to complete the remaining infrastructure projects needed within the low- and moderate-income areas identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Moreover, affordable housing, public services, fair housing and administration are still High priority needs in the community and will therefore receive continued funding.
As economic development has somewhat more restrictive regulations attached to it, and although it remains a High priority need, the City has elected to not fund activities addressing this priority need during the 2023-2024 program year. Instead, the City will seek to fund economic development using leveraged resources and will consider CDBG funding should funds become available in the future.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process In accordance with the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan (CPP), the City facilitated citizen participation through community meetings and public hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low- and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in slum and blighted areas and in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The City also made efforts to encourage the participation of minorities and non-English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. 5 | P a g e
In preparation of the 2023-2024 Action Plan, the City conducted multiple public notices, meetings and review periods.
First, the City issued a notice in the Compton Bulletin on Wednesday, March 15, 2023, informing the public of a community meeting. On March 30, 2023, the City conducted this community meeting in which residents participated in discussions concerning housing and community development needs, priority non-housing community development needs, the City’s proposed strategies and actions for affirmatively furthering fair housing, the development of proposed activities primarily for low-and-moderate income individuals and families, a review of program performance, and how the HUD program funds may be used to meet those needs during the 2023- 2024 program year
In addition, the City issued a public hearing and 30-day review period notice describing the proposed use of CDBG and HOME funds in English and Spanish in the Compton Bulletin on Wednesday, April 5, 2023. The notice identified the 30-day public review period beginning on April 7, 2023, and ending on May 9, 2023. The City held a public hearing before Council on May 9, 2023, to receive public comment on the draft 2023-2024 Action Plan and receive City Council action. All comments received were accepted and incorporated into the 2023-2024 Action Plan.
Please see the Appendix section for a listing of all received public comments.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1. Introduction
As part of the Consolidated Plan Process, jurisdictions must consult and coordinate with the Continuum of Care (CoC) and appropriate public and private agencies, such as the State and other local jurisdictions; public and private agencies that provide assisted housing, health services, social and fair housing services (including services to children, elderly persons, homeless persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, homeless persons, and other categories of residents), and among its own departments, to assure that its Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive document and addresses statutory purposes.
During the preparation of the 2023-2024 Action Plan, the City consulted with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, creation of job opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, and/or provision of services to children, elderly persons, people with disabilities, people with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following methods:
• Individual stakeholder consultations
• Community meetings
• Public Notices (English and Spanish)
• Posting of documents on the City’s website
• Public hearings
• Receipt of written comments
The input gathered from these consultation partners helped establish the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)).
The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of their programs. As a result, during the development of the 2023-2024 Action Plan, the City consulted closely with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community-focused agencies. Outreach efforts included asking specific questions associated with coordination, invitations to community meetings and follow-up in-person interviews where appropriate.
To enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies the City undertook the following activities:
10 | P a g e
• The City collaborated with and will continue to coordinate with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) and the local Compton Housing Authority to obtain input on public and assisted housing-related programs, primarily the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher and Self- Sufficiency Programs which provide opportunities for affordable renter-housing.
• The City also coordinated with Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) of Los Angeles to provide opportunities for affordable homeownership housing and residential rehabilitation of existing ownership housing.
• The City coordinated with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) to obtain data on homeless needs, programs, and issues.
• The City coordinated with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (DMH) to obtain data on mental health needs, programs, and issues. • The City coordinated with the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to obtain data on foster care needs, programs, and issues. • To strengthen the housing delivery system in the private sector, the City continued to coordinate with private housing developers to include affordable units in multi-family housing developments. The City will also coordinate with local non-profit housing organizations to provide housing opportunities and services in order to strengthen the housing delivery system and help overcome gaps in the delivery system.
The City recognizes the importance of continued coordination with various organizations and agencies and will work on strengthening current relationships as well as fostering new ones throughout each of the upcoming years.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
A CoC is an integrated system of care that guides and tracks homeless individuals and families through a comprehensive array of housing and services designed to prevent and end homelessness.
A CoC must have a community plan to organize and deliver housing and services to meet the specific needs of people who are homeless as they move to stable housing and maximize selfsufficiency. That plan should include action steps to end homelessness and prevent a return to homelessness. HUD identifies four necessary parts of a continuum:
1. Outreach, intake and assessment
2. Emergency shelter
3. Transitional housing with supportive services
4. Permanent & permanent supportive housing with services if needed Los Angeles County’s homeless system of care is comprised of a network of public, private, faithbased, for-profit, and non-profit service providers who utilize several federal, state and local resources to provide services for homeless people. The region’s municipalities, including the City, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. 11 | P a g e
To address the needs of the homeless population most efficiently, HUD has tasked local governments with developing a CoC. The CoC is a planning model designed to assist homeless persons at every level of need and to move a client from homelessness to permanent housing. The CoC addresses both the lack of housing affordable to the lowest income levels and the underlying causes of homelessness such as substance abuse, domestic violence, and mental illness. The County’s nonprofit community plays a key role in the current CoC system. Hundreds of agencies throughout the County provide programs ranging from feeding the homeless on the street to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are available to homeless families with children, and single men and women.
The LAHSA is the lead agency for the CoC in Los Angeles County. LAHSA guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. LAHSA partners with other local government agencies and communitybased non-profit agencies to provide homeless services throughout Los Angeles County. All service providers within the CoC can refer people with varying needs to the appropriate service provider(s) in their area. Homeless needs are presented by the levels of service that form the CoC:
• Prevention – Activities include income support, rental assistance, and advocacy. Eviction prevention and crisis intervention help at-risk households maintain their housing and sidestep homelessness.
• Outreach and Assessment – Activities include walking the streets and other places not fit for human habitation and marketing available services to homeless persons reluctant to apply for services on their own. Once the client enters the system, the assessment process identifies the client’s needs.
• Emergency Shelter – Offers a safe, secure, temporary place (up to 90 days) for homeless persons to reside while they prepare to move into more stable housing. • Transitional Housing – Long-term (up to 24 months) housing with supportive services that address the underlying causes of homelessness. Transitional housing programs enable people to successfully transition to and maintain permanent housing. • Permanent and Permanent Supportive Housing – Permanent housing for most is affordable, market-rate housing. Permanent supportive housing enables persons with disabilities to live as independently as possible. Moving previously homeless persons into permanent housing is the primary objective of the CoC.
• Supportive Services – Activities that help persons address the underlying causes of homelessness and move toward self-sufficiency and independent living. Services include substance abuse treatment, employment education and job readiness, budgeting workshops, parenting classes, and childcare. Services may be part of a housing program or independently provided.
12 | P a g e
For many City residents, the first entry into the CoC is through an emergency shelter, where individuals and families obtain emergency housing and supportive services directed to getting people off the streets and into a safe environment. Typically, people stay in an emergency shelter for a short period. Usually during this time, other housing is arranged, and the homeless person’s immediate social service and medical needs are addressed.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS Although allocated ESG funds during the prior Five-Year Consolidated Plan period, the City has not currently and does not expect to receive ESG funds during the current Five-Year Consolidated Plan period. However, the City will continue to support the efforts of LAHSA and the County of Los Angeles in their development of performance standards for the County’s ESG program that provide a measure to evaluate each subrecipients’ effectiveness, such as how well the service provider succeeds at 1) targeting those who need the assistance most; 2) reducing the number of people living on the streets or emergency shelters; 3) shortening the time people spend homeless; and 4) reducing each program participant’s housing barriers or housing stability risks. In addition, the City consulted with Watts Labor Community Action Committee (WLCAC) who indicated that the top three (3) opportunities for the future of housing from the organization’s perspective include Measure HHH and Proposition H implementation, the Los Angeles affordable housing trust fund, and overall greater embrace of addressing homelessness by constituents across Los Angeles County. According to WLCAC, the biggest barrier to finding affordable and decent housing in the City is the fact that there is never enough affordable housing for what is needed (2013-2021 MidCycle Housing Element Update). 13 | P a g e

Table 3 – Other Local / Regional / Federal Planning Efforts Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(l))
To enhance coordination among the CoC, public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies, the City invited each of these entities to provide input on the needs of the community in the development of this Consolidated Plan. The City afforded the following other public entities with the opportunity to provide input on the 26 | P a g e
Consolidated Plan and welcomed their input concerning the future implementation of projects to address the City’s Strategic Plan goals:
• Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA)
• Compton Housing Authority
• Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) • Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA)
• Los Angeles Neighborhood Housing Services (LANHS)
In addition, the City works with subrecipients of CDBG funds to ensure a coordinated effort among service agencies in the region to address the needs of the City’s residents, including but not limited to, chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, unaccompanied youth, and persons who were recently homeless but now living in permanent housing. To promote economic opportunities for low-income residents, the City coordinates with subrecipient social service agencies, businesses and housing developers to ensure that where there are job opportunities for low-income people in connection with HUD-assisted projects, information is disseminated through appropriate channels consistent with the objectives of Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1968.
Narrative
Broadband
The Digital Divide refers to the differing amount of information between those who have access to the Internet (especially broadband access) and those who do not have access. Efforts to narrow the digital divide in low-income communities includes providing broadband infrastructure to communities in need of such infrastructure. For reporting purposes, the City's residents are represented by the Los Angeles County Regional Broadband Consortium (LACRBC). As of December 2018, the LACRBC has exceeded the CPUC goal of providing access to broadband Internet to 98% of its households. Individually, the City’s rate of broadband Internet access is 97.8 percent. The most widely used method of accessing broadband Internet services is mobile wireless Internet service. There are 20 Internet providers in the City with six (6) of those offering residential service. There are 14 companies offering business Internet services in the City. According to the Census, 68.1 percent of households in the City had broadband. In contrast, 82.1 percent of households in Los Angeles County and 84.7 percent in California had broadband services. In the City, 84.8 percent of households had a computer compared to 90.4 in Los Angeles and 91.7 in California. Thus, the City is still slightly behind the region, even if service availability/capacity exists. Pew Research reported 31.4 percent of households whose annual income fall below $50,000 with children ages 6 to 17, do not have high-speed internet connection at home which places lowincome students at a learning disadvantage to their counterparts. City residents without broadband Internet access have cited cost as the primary barrier. During the Consolidated Plan period, the City could plan to use CDBG funds for broadband installation infrastructure (install wiring, fiber 27 | P a g e
optic cables, and permanently affixed equipment such as receivers for areas to receive broadband/internet access) and service delivery. In addition, subsidizing the cost on behalf of an individual or family would be eligible as a public service.
Real estate developers and builders have new obligations under one of HUD’s new rules, “Narrowing the Digital Divide Through Installation of Broadband Infrastructure in HUD-Funded New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation of Multifamily Rental Housing” (published Dec. 20) that would provide residents and their children the opportunity to bridge the digital divide by connecting to the world of opportunity. Under the final rule governing installation of broadband, any new and substantially rehabilitated public housing project of four or more units must include infrastructure capable of supporting broadband access to residents as of Jan. 19, 2020 unless the federal fund recipient can document one of three grounds for waivers.
However, to address consultation requirements regarding broadband, the City coordinated with some of its main service providers including but not limited to Spectrum and AT&T to aid in narrowing the digital divide. While broadband is available through multiple providers in the City resulting in increased competition, costs may remain excessive for some of the City residents. For this reason, access to high-speed broadband at affordable rates remains a need in the City, especially since COVID-19 which required immediate access to information to ensure individuals were compliant with social distancing requirements to safeguard against immediate infection and school closures which required students to learn from home.
Resilience
The City consulted with a number of local and regional agencies and companies in the preparation of its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). Some of these agencies and companies included but were not limited to: Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Los Angeles County Fire Department, Cal OES and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The purpose of the LHMP is to:
• Reduce loss of life and property, human suffering, economic disruption, and disaster costs. • Prioritize hazard mitigation at the local level with increased emphasis on planning and public involvement, assessing risks, implementing loss reduction measures, and ensuring critical facilities/services survive a disaster.
• Promote education and economic incentives to form community-based partnerships and leverage non-federal resources to commit to and implement long-term hazard mitigation activities.
The following mitigation goals were identified and will be implemented during the 2023-2024 program year to increase resiliency:
• Protect Life and Property: Implement activities that assist in protecting lives by making homes, businesses, infrastructure, critical facilities, and other property more resistant to 28 | P a g e
losses from natural, human-caused, and technological hazards. Reduce losses and repetitive damages for chronic hazard events while promoting insurance coverage for catastrophic hazards. Improve hazard assessment information to make recommendations for avoiding new development in high hazard areas and encouraging preventative measures for existing development in areas vulnerable to natural, human-caused, and technological hazards.
• Public Awareness: Develop and implement education and outreach programs to increase public awareness of the risks associated with natural hazards. Provide information on tools, partnership opportunities, and funding resources to assist in implementing mitigation activities.
• Natural System: Balance watershed planning, natural resource management, and land use planning with natural hazard mitigation to protect life, property, and the environment.
Preserve, rehabilitate, and enhance natural systems to serve natural hazard mitigation functions.
• Partnerships and Implementation: Strengthen communication and coordinate participation among and within public agencies, citizens, non-profit organizations, business, and industry to gain a vested interest in implementation. Encourage leadership within public and private sector organizations to prioritize and implement local, county, and regional hazard mitigation activities.
• Emergency Services: Establish policy to ensure mitigation projects for critical facilities, services, and infrastructure. Strengthen emergency operations by increasing collaboration and coordination among public agencies, non-profit organizations, business, and industry.
Coordinate and integrate natural hazard mitigation activities, where appropriate, with emergency operations plans and procedures.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied As a City with substantial housing and community development needs, the City needs to leverage its CDBG and HOME entitlement grants with a variety of funding resources in order to maximize the effectiveness of available funds. The City’s former Redevelopment Agency was the City’s primary non-federal source of leveraged funds. With the elimination of the City’s Redevelopment Agency, the City’s ability to leverage federal funds has been substantially reduced. The City is currently seeking new opportunities to leverage federal funds, such as the Low- Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program and HUD Section 202 and 811 for the Elderly Programs. Community Development programs are funded with general funds and CDBG. In addition, the leveraged funding from private and non-federal public sources are as follows:
Federal Resources: Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, HUD Veterans Affairs supportive Housing (HUD-VASH), Supportive Housing for the Elderly (Section 202), Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811), Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), Youthbuild, Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program. State Resources: State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN), CalHome Program, Multifamily Housing Program (MHP), Housing Related Parks Grant, CalHFA Single and Multi-Family Program, Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding.
Local Resources: Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA), Los Angeles County Community Development Commission (LACDC), Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA) Funding.
Private Resources: Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP), Community Reinvestment Act Programs, United Way Funding, Private Contributions.
In addition, the City is a current recipient of HOME American Rescue Plan (HOME ARP) funds which will go towards funding activities that help facilitate the City’s recovery from the devasting economic and health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The City anticipates allocating these funds via a Substantial Amendment to the 2021-2022 Action Plan.
Matching Requirements
CDBG: The CDBG program does not have a match requirement.
HOME: HUD requires HOME recipients to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation in accordance with 24 CFR 92.222. However, certain recipients, such as the City, receive a match reduction from HUD due to fiscal distress, severe fiscal distress or Presidential disaster declarations. The City has received a 100 percent match reduction from HUD, and therefore, is required to match 0 percent of HOME funds using non-federal funds. 34 | P a g e
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan There is relatively little availability of publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that can be used to address the needs identified in the plan. Throughout the five-year Consolidated Plan period, the City will continue to utilize and leverage CDBG and HOME funds for the acquisition of publicly owned land or property to address the needs of the community through collaborations with housing developers and Community Housing and Development Organizations (CHDOs) who possess the financial and administrative capacity to implement and complete affordable housing developments. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the City is a recent awardee of HOME ARP funds from HUD. Although the City has not yet allocated these funds to eligible activities, the City will look at potentially programming these funds for the potential acquisition of land(s) or property(ies) with the intent to construct, rehabilitate and/or convert into affordable housing or transitional/emergency shelter for qualified populations and low-income residents. The City plans to allocate these funds via a Substantial Amendment to the City’s 2021-2022 Action Plan.
Discussion
During the 2023-2024 program year, the City will rely on other public and private funding to leverage against CDBG and HOME funds to increase availability, affordability, and sustainability of affordable housing within the City limits.

Table 4 – Project Information
Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to address underserved needs During the 2023-2024 program year, the City has allocated 100% of its CDBG and HOME funds to activities that benefit low-and-moderate income persons. The Residential Street Improvement Project, Park Improvement Project and Heritage House Restoration Project will take place in primarily residential CDBG eligible Census Tract/Block Groups, whereas all other activities will be available citywide.
The primary obstacles to meeting the unserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low-income people and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG and HOME funds through the 2023-2024 Action Plan in activities that provide financial assistance to low- and moderate-income persons in purchasing their first home and rehabilitating their existing homes, projects that provide public and neighborhood services to low-and moderate-income people and those with special needs, and projects that prevent homelessness. To address underserved needs, the City is allocating 100 percent of its CDBG and HOME investments for 2023-2024 (excluding Administration) to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people. # Project Name

Table 5 – Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Geographic distribution of funding is based on the nature of the activity to be funded. The City intends to fund activities in areas most directly impacted by the needs of low- and moderateincome residents and those with other special needs. Approximately 28 percent of the City’s CDBG allocation will be provided for public service and housing preservation activities, which are provided to low- and moderate-income residents throughout the community. An additional 20 percent will be allocated to Administration and Planning. The remaining balance of CDBG funds will be designated for Public Facilities and Infrastructure Projects administered by the Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments which will take place in the primarily residential low- and moderate-income areas. In addition, all HOME funds will be allocated Citywide. The assignment of priority levels is primarily a result of input from public and private agencies responding to the City’s Housing and Community Development Needs Survey, consultation interviews, and statistical data compiled from the Needs Assessment. Only eligible activities that received a High priority level in the Consolidated Plan, will be funded during the remaining five year Consolidated Plan period.
Discussion
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG and HOME investments for program year 2023-2024 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people (62% Citywide and 38% to CDBG Low- and moderate-income Census Track/Block Groups).

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.420, 91.220(g)
Introduction
There are limited opportunities and funding available to provide affordable housing opportunities.
The City will attempt to seek new partnerships in the upcoming year. During 2023-2024 program year, the City will address affordable housing needs through the following programs:
• Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing (HOME CHDO): Funds will be used by a nonprofit Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) to provide affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households to become homeowners through new construction or acquisition/rehabilitation/resale. Approximately one (1) household will be assisted. The City is currently in the process of partnering with a CHDO. • Provide Affordable Housing Opportunities (HOME First Time Homebuyer Program): The City will provide financial assistance to income-eligible first-time homebuyers through the First -Time Homebuyer Program. Approximately four (4) households will be assisted. • Provide Affordable Housing Preservation (Housing Rehabilitation Program): The City will provide financial assistance to income-eligible single-family homeowners to rehabilitate their homes through the Housing Rehabilitation Program. Approximately eight (8) households will be assisted.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.420, 91.220(h)
Introduction
Public housing was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. HUD administers Federal aid to local public housing agencies (PHAs) that manage the housing for low-income residents at rents they can afford. The Compton Housing Authority (CHA) administers public housing and homeless programs for the City, but it does not own or maintain any HUD public housing developments.
The most popular public housing program is the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8 Program) program, which is a federal program that provides rental subsidies for decent, safe, and sanitary housing to very low-income families whose housing cost exceed 30 percent of their income, the elderly, and the disabled in the open market. The City’s Housing Choice Voucher Program is administered by the local CHA and is also funded with federal funding from HUD. In addition to providing rental subsidies to eligible households, the CHA also strives to promote personal, economic and social upward mobility of its clients in an effort to help them become more financially independent through the Family Self-sufficiency Program (FSS).
The City is within the service area of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA), formerly called the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA), who administers HUD public housing developments within the City and also provides some Housing Choice (Section 8) Vouchers for Compton residents. Per LACDA’s Annual Plan for Fiscal Year 2023-2024, the Section 8 and Public Housing programs currently have a waiting list of 33,002 applicants and 24,094 applicants, respectively. The amount of time spent on the waiting list for each program varies but can be as long as 15 years for Section 8 and five (5) years for Public Housing.
As of the 2023-2024 program year, the LACDA administers 1,979 Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) across 54 properties. The LACDA has 1,988 additional PBVs in the pipeline across 43 projects, which are expected to become operational over the next 3 years. Approximately 477 of these PBVs were committed in CY 2022 through NOFA 27, and outside of the NOFA by way of a previous competition that allows the LACDA to issue PBVs in accordance with 24 CFR 983.51.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing During the 2023-2024 program year, LACDA is proposing the following major changes to the Public Housing and Section 8 Tenant Based Program:
Public Housing Program
• Unit Transfers
• Conduct Annual Reexaminations Online Only
• Guaranteed Income Program Exclusion
• Notification to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Regarding Evicted Individuals • Banning Former Residents
48 | P a g e
• Temporary Relocation Policy
• Non-Discrimination Policy Section
Section 8 Tenant-Based Programs
• Reinstitution he LACDA’s 100 Percent Commitment to Homelessness • Local Preference and Priorities
• Family Unification Program, Foster Youth, Statutory Housing Limitation Extension of up to 12 months
• Removal of the Moderate Rehabilitation Program and Enhanced Voucher Assistance Chapters
• Removal of the Family Self-Sufficiency Program Chapter In addition, converting tenant-based vouchers to PBVs is necessary to increase the stock of affordable housing for special needs populations who face increasing barriers trying to find housing in the area’s private rental market. For this reason, LACDA intends to undertake the following:
Project Based Vouchers
• The LACDA is planning to convert up to 450 additional tenant-based vouchers to PBVs through NOFA 28, which allows the LACDA to commit PBVs in accordance with 24 CFR 983.51.
• The LACDA has awarded 442 additional PBVs through NOFA 27 to projects located in unincorporated Los Angeles, Altadena, Huntington Park, Cudahy, Lancaster, and Montebello. 100 percent of these projects are dedicated to housing the homeless, with subpopulations consisting of persons with mental illness, veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic violence.
• The LACDA has committed 35 project-based Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers to an affordable housing development in Quartz Hill.
Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD)
• The LACDA is in the process of analyzing options for converting Public Housing to Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) to leverage assets to maintain sites. Currently, the LACDA is reviewing the RAD conversion at a site-based level and preparing to meet with residents for the proposed RAD conversion.
During the 2023-2024 program year, the CHA will focus on the following to address the public housing needs:
• Selection from the waiting list
• Rent reasonableness
• Determination of adjusted income
49 | P a g e
• Utility allowance schedule
• Housing Quality Standards (HQS) quality control inspections • HQS enforcement
• Expanding housing opportunities
• Fair Market Rent (FMR) limit and payment standards
• Annual reexaminations
• Correct tenant rent calculations
• Pre-contract HQS inspections
• Annual HQS inspections
• Lease-up
• Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) enrollment and escrow account balances • Success rate of voucher holders
• Deconcentration bonus indicator
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The City provides a number of resources on services for foreclosure prevention and counseling.
Before commencement of homeownership assistance for a public housing family, the family must attend and satisfactorily complete the pre-assistance homeownership and housing counseling program required by the CHA. Such topics reviewed during this pre-assistance counseling include but are not limited to: home maintenance (including care of the grounds), budgeting and money management, credit counseling, how to negotiate the purchase price of a home, how to obtain financing and loan approvals, how to find a home and information on fair housing. To more specifically encourage public housing residents to participate in homeownership, the City will allocate HOME funds during the 2023-2024 program year towards its First-Time Homebuyer Program. The program anticipates assisting approximately four (4) households.
LACDA actively encourages residents to be involved in the organization through resident councils and active participation in housing authority decisions via surveys and other forms of engagement.
Resident surveys were distributed and community meetings in low-income areas were hosted.
Grant funding is administered to increase housing availability and accessibility to residents to encourage greater participation in homeownership. LACDA also maintains quarterly newsletters for Section 8 tenants, public housing residents, and Section 8 property owners.
LACDA promotes its Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program which encourages families to pursue goals of furthering their education, training and employability in an effort to secure funds for a down payment towards the purchase of their new home. During FY 2021-2022 and despite a global pandemic, LACDA was able to graduate 30 FSS participants, with an average escrow account disbursement of $12,191.66. The City’s Homebuyer Assistance Program is a perfect program for 50 | P a g e
Los Angeles County residents looking to purchase in the City to help cover the gap in financial assistance.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
Not applicable. Neither PHA is designated as a troubled PHA.
Discussion
CHA and LACDA are well-positioned to maintain and expand the supply of affordable housing units in the City and throughout Los Angeles County through partnerships with the State of California, HUD, and other housing partners. Through the City’s First-Time Homebuyer Program, the City anticipates that it will assist four (4) households with purchasing their new home during the 2023-2024 program year.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.420,
91.220(i)
Introduction
Homeless persons are defined as those who lack a fixed and adequate residence. Homelessness is a pressing issue for many communities, and the varied dimensions involved have implications for housing programs. People who are homeless may be chronically homeless (perhaps due to substance abuse) or situationally homeless resulting from job loss, family strife, incarceration, or violence. Homeless people face critical housing challenges due to their very low incomes and lack of appropriate housing.
One of the goals of the Consolidated Plan is to coordinate services and facilities available for the homeless as a CoC. A CoC begins with a point of entry in which the needs of a homeless individual or family are assessed. Once a needs assessment is completed, the individual/family may be referred to permanent housing or to transitional housing where supportive services are provided to prepare them for independent living. The goal of a comprehensive homeless service system is to ensure that homeless individuals and families move from homelessness to self-sufficiency, permanent housing, and independent living.
Homelessness is addressed regionally through the CoC, which is a regional or local planning body that coordinates housing and services funding for homeless families and individuals. LAHSA is a joint powers authority of the City and County of Los Angeles and serves as the lead coordinating agency for the Los Angeles CoC. To facilitate planning and administration of services, LAHSA adopted eight regional Service Planning Areas (SPAs). The City of Compton is part of SPA 6- South Lo Angeles.
Describe the jurisdiction one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individuals needs
Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through coordination of regional strategies carried out locally by government agencies and a wide variety of communitybased and faith-based groups. The City supports the efforts of the LAHSA, CoC, and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout the County and more specifically in Service Planning Area (SPA) 6. During the 2023-2024 program year, the City will use CDBG funds to support local service providers as well as City run programs to prevent homelessness, promote affordable housing opportunities and expand the supply of affordable housing in the City for lowand moderate-income residents. The City will provide an inventory of homeless services and facilities along with telephone numbers and agency contacts to City staff interface with the public and offer referrals to individuals seeking assistance. The City will coordinate closely with the County Sheriff’s Department to ensure homeless persons and persons threatened with homelessness are referred to shelters and social service agencies. More specifically, the City will allocate CDBG funds to Champions of Caring Connection who will provide academic support 52 | P a g e
(language arts and math) to students who live in motels/hotels, shelters, or shared living housing sites. In addition, the City will provide funds to Community Legal Aid which will assist survivors of domestic violence with effectively requesting protective orders from the court to pursue longterm security for themselves and their children.
In addition, the City’s one-year goal and actions for reducing and ending homelessness include:
• Definitions for family, transitional and supportive housing will be incorporated into the Compton Municipal Code to explicitly allow transitional and supportive housing as a byright residential use subject only to those regulations that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone. In addition, supportive housing shall be a byright use in all zones where multifamily and mixed uses are permitted. • Coordinate with the current emergency shelters, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing facilities serving Compton residents such as: Jordan’s Transitional Shelter, Mrs. Flowers 2nd Chance, Shields for Families and Creative Learning Institute, Inc.
• Facilitate and encourage the production of housing suitable for homeless people, including emergency shelters, transitional, and permanent supportive housing. • Pursue opportunities for adaptive reuse of buildings to accommodate emergency shelters in the Emergency Shelter Overlay Zone, which allows emergency shelters with up to 100 beds to develop as “By-Right” land uses. The overlay zone includes 74 acres, of which 8.4 acres are vacant.
• Look at establishing a short-term rental or inclusionary ordinance. • Encourage coordination between LACDA and CHA.
• Continue coordination with Salvation Army to provide emergency shelter, transitional shelter, meals, social service programs, counseling and therapy, and legal and financial advocacy for adults and children who are homeless.
• Review the City’s zoning ordinance and make revisions if necessary to allow low barrier navigation centers for the homeless.
• Prepare a Plan to Combat Homelessness. The plan will comprehensively assess homelessness, assess the resources currently available to address the challenge, identify opportunities for City collaboration with various partners and stakeholders and identify implementation strategies to address homelessness such as construction of a homeless shelter and creation of a safe parking program for homeless.
Lastly, Los Angeles County Homeless Outreach Portal (LA-HOP, www.la-hop.org), is the first of its kind, online portal for homeless outreach requests. Any person with a mobile phone or computer can use it, plus it works in multiple languages. How it works; if you see someone on the street who needs help, log into the portal, type in a location or use the icon to show where the person is and then describe the situation (the more detailed the better). After you submit the request, it is assigned 53 | P a g e
to an outreach team that is dispatched out to the designated area to help move the individual from homelessness to housing.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The ultimate solution to ending homelessness is transitional to permanent housing closely aligned with supportive services that ensure housing stability can be maintained. However, because the demand for affordable housing far outpaces the region’s supply, the CoC continues to rely on its emergency and transitional housing system in order to address the immediate needs of Los Angeles County’s homeless population.
The City will continue its efforts in addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons by collaborating with agencies that provide shelter for the homeless.
The City will continue implementing its Zoning Ordinance, which allows for emergency shelters and transitional housing, with or without discretionary approval in the Overlay zone per State Law.
The City will assist in addressing gaps to serving the homeless through the newly established Homeless Task Force. Typically, the City uses 15 percent of the CDBG allocation to provide public and supportive services for the homeless, low- and moderate-income residents, as well as those with special needs. Homeless supportive services may include emergency shelter, rent relief and utility subsidies, and emergency food distribution.
Through the Homeless Initiative, the County and CoC are working to strengthen and increase the availability of housing and services at all levels. The CoC is collaborating with a range of nonprofit and community organizations to fill the gap, including providing funding for a local winter shelter. Additional funding has been infused in the community through Project Roomkey to provide families with emergency motel vouchers and provide households with rapid rehousing assistance. This is most exemplified by the conversion of the Compton Travel Plaza Inn, which converted its 41 rooms into temporary shelter for homeless families during the COVID-19 pandemic. While Project Roomkey is ending, the work it inspired continues. LAHSA is currently overseeing the operation of 1,112 of the Project Homekey units secured by the County. Those units are currently providing both shelter and permanent housing to people experiencing homelessness throughout Los Angeles County.
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 afford housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
As an active member of the CoC, the City will continue to support the following priorities to reduce homelessness throughout the County:
54 | P a g e
• Secure and Expand Resources: Securing and expanding federal and state financed homeless assistance is critical to supporting persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
• Preserve and Increase Housing and Housing Access: Increasing the affordable housing stock in Los Angeles County and ensuring equitable access to and distribution of housing opportunities are fundamental to directing persons out of homelessness and into stable housing.
• Strengthen Regional Coordination and Collaboration: A collaborative approach is needed to effectively leverage and maximize local resources to support adults, families and youths experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County.
The City will use its federal funds to further the City’s and CoC’s goals for reducing homelessness throughout the County. When feasible, the City will use its CDBG and HOME funds to promote home ownership opportunities and preserve the supply of affordable housing. It will also use its CDBG funds to help income-eligible households’ access various social services (i.e., case management, health services, food subsidies, senior services, homeless prevention services, etc.) and assistance programs.
The City will continue its efforts in helping homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent living by collaborating with agencies that provide shelter for the homeless. The City will also provide referrals to public assistance programs offered by other agencies to aid in preventing the recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
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, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.
The City will continue its efforts in 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 by collaborating with agencies that provide shelter for the homeless. The City will also provide referrals to public assistance programs offered by other agencies and continue supporting these types of programs through the public service category of the CDBG Program.
In addition, the City will coordinate with local hospitals regarding Senate Bill No. 1152 which requires each hospital to have a written discharge planning policy and process that requires that the appropriate arrangements for post hospital care are made prior to discharge for those patients likely to suffer adverse health consequences upon discharge if there is no adequate discharge planning. The bill would require a hospital to document specified information before discharging 55 | P a g e
a homeless patient. The bill would require a hospital to develop a written plan for coordinating services and referrals for homeless patients with the county behavioral health agency, health care and social service agencies in the region, health care providers, and nonprofit social service providers, as available, to assist with ensuring appropriate homeless patient discharge. The bill would also require a hospital to maintain a log of homeless patients discharged and the destinations to which they were released after discharge. The bill would specify how its provisions are to be construed in relation to local ordinances, codes, regulations, or orders related to the homeless patient discharge processes, and would exempt state hospitals under the jurisdiction of the State Department of State Hospitals from its provisions. Because a violation of these requirements would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
Discussion
With limited resources available, the City will utilize the Homeless Task Force to research additional funding sources to prevent homelessness in Compton. Additional planning efforts will be utilized to help enhance coordination with the various homeless service providers in the region.
The efforts of the City in conjunction with those efforts of LAHSA can significantly help reduce homelessness and increase the quality of life of the City’s residents. 56 | P a g e
AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.420, 91.220(j) Introduction
Market and governmental factors pose constraints to the provision of adequate and affordable housing. Barriers or impediments to affordable housing are caused when the incentive to develop such housing is removed due to excessive development costs and/or the lack of community commitment. As a result of these barriers, housing development can be rendered economically infeasible, or the housing produced may not be affordable to low- and moderate-income households. These factors tend to disproportionately impact lower- and moderate-income households due to their limited resources for absorbing the costs. Some development costs are motivated by economic conditions and issues that affect the real estate market and are outside the control of local government. In addition, the development of affordable housing is affected by both the economic market conditions and the housing policies of federal, state, and local governments, and the “Not in My Back Yard” (NIMBY) phenomenon as expressed by residents and local businesses. Federal and state environmental regulations implemented at the local level, add to the cost of development. Furthermore, public policy and community issues potentially affect the cost of all development projects through the design and implementation of land use ordinances, fees, and development standards.
For low- and moderate-income households, finding and maintaining decent affordable housing is difficult due to the high cost of housing in Compton and throughout Southern California in general.
Yet economic, social, and physical barriers may also limit many residents’ access to adequate housing. Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the 2013-2021 Mid-Cycle Housing Element Update and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in Compton are housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply and insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use control, tax policies affecting lands, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
The City works to remove barriers to affordable housing by implementing a Housing Element that is consistent with California law and taking actions to reduce costs or provide off-setting incentives to assist in the production of safe, high-quality, affordable housing. The City is committed to removing governmental constraints that hinder the production of housing, as evidenced by the numerous affordable housing developments that have occurred over the last 30 years. According to the City’s Housing Element Update, the City will be undertaking the following to remove barriers to affordable housing:
• Implement its Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance designed to offer flexibility in municipal code requirements to expand opportunities for people to build and rent housing that is accessible to people with disabilities.
57 | P a g e
• Definitions for family, transitional and supportive housing will be incorporated into the Municipal Code to explicitly allow transitional and supportive housing as a by-right. • Through the City's development review process, new construction shall be required to demonstrate that energy conservation measures beyond those required by Title 24 have been incorporated whenever feasible. To assist developers in knowing what options and special grants are available, the City shall work with the Southern California Edison Company and the Southern California Gas Company to identify new low-cost construction, heating and appliance techniques and equipment that can result in substantial energy and cost savings for future tenants and owners. The City will revise its California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines to ensure uniform assessment of air quality impacts of projects and will incorporate the SCAQMD significance thresholds in these Guidelines or into EIR's and negative declarations prepared pursuant to these Guidelines. • The City will look into developing and including a short-term rental or inclusionary ordinance.
• Advertise and inform the public and developers of the City’s Density Bonus Ordinance 2163, which created a local density bonus ordinance that offers the same types of development incentives that are allowed for under California law. The provisions apply to multifamily residential and mixed-use development projects consisting of five (5) or more dwelling units. A development may qualify for up to a maximum 35% density bonus by providing 11% very-low income units, 20% low-income units, or 40% moderate income units; or up to a 20% density bonus for the development of senior housing. Other concessions or incentives may also be awarded on a sliding scale depending on the percentage of affordable housing provided, in order to make the housing units economically feasible.
• Continue to utilize the variance and minor modification process in current residential projects to allow flexibility in development standards and code requirements to facilitate the construction of new housing. This will allow for the reduction or modification of many development requirements up to 10%, except for density unless affordable requirements are met through the City’s density bonus ordinance.
• Incentivize the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), which also offer opportunities for affordable housing. The City currently allows for the development of ADUs by right in the R-E and R-1 all residential zones. • Encourage development of emergency shelters in the City’s overlay zone. In total, the overlay zone includes 74 acres, of which 8.4 acres are vacant, which allows for opportunities for adaptive reuse of buildings to accommodate emergency shelters. Within the immediate area are major bus lines including the Metropolitan Transportation Authority routes 128 and 202. In addition, the area is adjacent to essential services such as the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Social Services, medical offices, and employment opportunities including warehouse, manufacturing, service and retail jobs. Applying an average bed count of 52 beds per acre results in a realistic shelter capacity of 600 beds. • Encourage the joint processing of related applications for a single project. As an example, a rezone petition may be reviewed in conjunction with the required site plan, tentative tract map, and any necessary variances. Such procedures save time, money, and effort for both the public and private sector.

Discussion
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the 2023-2024 Action Plan outlines the investment of a significant portion of CDBG and HOME funds for the construction, preservation of, and providing of homeownership assistance of affordable housing. In addition, supportive services will be funded to support low-and moderate-income residents. New transit- oriented development strategies and the massive investments in the Streets and other areas of community development should also attract investors and developers. This strategy will increase the supply of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing in the City. Fair Housing services will also be provided to ensure potential discrimination/access barriers are addressed. Together these strategies will increase the supply of affordable housing, preserve existing affordable housing, and provide direct assistance to residents. 59 | P a g e
AP-85 Other Actions – 91.420, 91.220(k)
Introduction
The City will provide for a variety of actions that will take place during the 2023-2024 program year to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, evaluate and reduce the number of housing units containing lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private agencies. This section discusses the City's underserved needs and institutional structure for delivering housing and community development activities.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting undeserved needs The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low-income people and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG and HOME funds during the 2023-2024 Action Plan in projects that provide financial assistance to low- and moderate-income households with the purchasing of their first home and rehabilitation of their homes, programs that provide public and neighborhood services to low- and moderate-income people and those with special needs, and projects that prevent homelessness. To address underserved needs, the City is allocating 100 percent (excluding Administration) of its CDBG and HOME investments for FY 2023-2024 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderateincome people.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City has strived to provide and maintain affordable housing for both owners and renters over the course of its Consolidated Plans, though there is still substantial need. In the implementation of the 2023-2024 Action Plan, the City will invest HOME funds to foster and maintain affordable housing through the City’s First-Time Homebuyer Program to benefit low- and moderate-income household in purchasing their first home. In addition, the City will be allocating CDBG funds to preserve affordable housing through the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program to assist low- and moderate-income single-family homeowners with the rehabilitation of their home. The City will coordinate with LACDA and CHA to provide rental assistance and public housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income renters.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. Only those units constructed prior to January 1, 1978, are presumed to have the potential to contain lead-based paint. In these units, the best way to have reasonable assurance that lead-based paint hazards are not present is to have the painted surfaces tested. To reduce lead-based paint hazards, the City will take the following actions:
60 | P a g e
• Include lead testing and abatement procedures in all residential rehabilitation and homebuyer activities for units built prior to January 1, 1978. • Monitor the lead-poisoning data maintained by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health Environmental Health.
• Educate residents on the health hazards of lead-based paint through brochures and encourage screening children for elevated blood-lead levels. • Disseminate brochures about lead hazards through organizations such as the Fair Housing Foundation and the City’s residential rehabilitation and homebuyer activities. • The City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program and First-Time Homebuyer Program guidelines require the dissemination of brochures provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to all applicants as part of the transmittal of the program application.
Any unit receiving assistance through the program that was built prior to January 1, 1978, is tested for lead-based paint. If lead-based paint is present, appropriate abatement procedures are implemented as part of the rehabilitation contract consistent with the requirements of 24 CFR Part 35. In addition, homes purchased through the First-time Homebuyer Program that are built before 1978 are required to have a lead-based paint inspection, with appropriate abatement procedures.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families Similar to other communities in Los Angeles County and across the nation, poverty continues to be a significant challenge. To address this challenge, all goals of Strategic Plan are aligned to support activities that promote the availability of affordable housing and provide essential services that directly benefit low- and moderate-income residents. The City will prioritize funding for activities that most effectively address the Consolidated Plan goals. This strategy will emphasize using CDBG and HOME funds to help individuals and families rise out of poverty towards longterm self-sufficiency. More specifically, the City will:
• Support activities that promote home ownership opportunities to low- and moderateincome households. • Support activities that provide housing preservation assistance to low- and moderateincome single-family households. • Support public services through the non-profits funded by CDBG that serve the community’s youth, seniors, families, and those with special needs. • Support a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness.
In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start provides a pathway out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. In California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKS, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi-Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition and 61 | P a g e
transportation. The City will ensure that residents have access to and knowledge about these programs as well.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City works with a wide range of public and community social service agencies to meet and address the various needs of the community. The institutional structure utilized to administer the CDBG and HOME programs are as follows:
• The City’s Grants Division serves as the lead agency for coordination of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plans, the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPERs), the Analysis of Impediments, Citizen Participation Plan, and compliance review of HUD- funded projects.
• The City typically allocates the maximum 15 percent of grant funds to non-profit organizations annually to provide public services that address the needs of various special needs populations.
• The City’s Public Works Department administers capital improvement and infrastructure projects.
• The City’s Parks and Recreation Department administers facility projects. • The City contracts with the Fair Housing Foundation of Long Beach to provide fair housing services.
• The local Compton Housing Authority administers the Housing Choice Voucher and SelfSufficiency programs and oversees other housing and homeless related programs. • The Economic Development Department and CareerLink administer economic development programs such as business assistance that results in job creation/retention. • The Community Development Department oversees community development and the Housing Element.
• The City works in partnership with the County of Los Angeles for affordable housing, homeless, and economic development programs, as well as additional public services. • The Building and Safety Department and Code Enforcement Department are responsible for health and safety code compliance, presale inspections/HQS, and addressing blight and graffiti.
• The Controller’s Office and Treasurer’s Department assist in processing all grant payments. • The City Manager’s Office oversees all of the above departments and works with the City Council, City Clerk, and City Attorney’s office to ensure programs are managed effectively.
City staff will continue to communicate and work with HUD staff to implement programs and develop institutional structure.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
62 | P a g e
The CDBG and HOME programs are managed by the City’s Grants Division, which allows for clear communication and coordinated efforts to address the issues affecting the low- and moderateincome residents of the City. It also supports the development of a clear and comprehensive affordable housing strategy that is consistently reflected in all affordable housing related documents, and a coordinated economic development strategy.
Actions that the City will undertake during the 2023-2024 program year to enhance coordination between public and private housing, health, and social service agencies include:
• Working with the LAHSA to provide homeless shelter and services. • Coordination with LACDA to provide information about Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
• Coordinating with the County of Los Angeles Health Department, Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) to provide information about lead based paint hazards.
• Funding a contract for fair housing services to provide fair housing and landlord/tenant complaint intake and mediation services to the residents of the City. • Following the City's adopted General Plan developed in collaboration with Los Angeles County.
• Consult with and invite the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low- and moderate-income residents in the City particularly the low-and moderate- income areas.
Discussion
In the implementation of the 2023-2024 Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME funds to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. The City will continue to coordinate the housing strategy with local and regional transportation planning strategies to ensure to the extent practicable that residents of affordable housing have access to public transportation.

HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2)
1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section
92.205 is as follows:
The City will not use any other forms of investment beyond those identified in Section 92.205.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
During the 2023-2024 program year, for all implemented HOME-assisted homebuyer activities, the City will incorporate a recapture requirement into written agreements and long-term affordability covenants as required by 24 CFR 92.254.
The City’s First Time Homebuyer Program incorporates a recapture provision in accordance with 24 CFR §92.254(a)(5)(ii), enabling the homebuyer to sell the property to any willing buyer during the period of affordability while the City is able to recapture, from net proceeds, all or a portion of the direct HOME subsidy provided, as specified herein. The recapture provision is included in the recorded Loan Agreement and the recorded Second Deed of Trust entered into by and between the City and the homebuyer for each HOME-assisted property.
Net Proceeds are defined as the sales price minus superior loan repayment (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs. Under no circumstances can the City recapture more than is available from the net proceeds of the sale.
Direct HOME Subsidy is defined as the amount of HOME assistance that enabled the homebuyer to buy the unit. The direct subsidy includes down payment, closing costs, interest subsidies, or other HOME assistance provided directly to the homebuyer. In addition, direct subsidy includes any assistance that reduced the purchase price from fair market value to an affordable price. If HOME funds are used for the cost of developing a property and the unit is sold below fair market value, the difference between the fair market value and the purchase price is considered to be directly attributable to the HOME subsidy.
The City’s Direct HOME Subsidy to the homebuyer transaction is made in exchange for a 15-year period of affordability.
The City shall recapture all or a portion of the Direct HOME Subsidy from available Net Proceeds in the event that the property is sold, voluntarily or involuntarily during the 15-year period of affordability or in the event that the property is not used as the homebuyer’s principal residence.
The amount to be recaptured shall be calculated in accordance with the Reduction Method.
Under this method, the entire Direct HOME Subsidy is due and payable at 100% within the first five (5) years. Commencing on the sixth (6th) year subsequent to property acquisition, ten percent (10%) of the Direct HOME Subsidy provided will be forgiven annually if the homebuyer continues to live in the subject property.
66 | P a g e
In the event of foreclosure or if the homebuyer deeds the property in lieu of foreclosure, no forgiveness will be provided, and the City shall recapture the entire amount of Direct HOME Subsidy from available net proceeds. If the net proceeds are not sufficient to recapture the full Direct HOME Subsidy, the recapture amount shall be the amount available from net proceeds.
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFP 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
See above.
4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:
The City does not intend to use HOME funds under the 2023-2024 Action Plan to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Martha Barajas
Is this meeting to introduce to us the Action Plan?
Turmel Woods
We are not introducing the Action Plan just yet. HUD requires us to have two public hearings. This is the fist, and when we get to the end of our 30 day notice period we will have another one on May 9th during Council Meeting.
How do you announce this meeting? I’m just curious because I only found out from Ms. Barbara. What’s your process of getting the work out. Because is this is a Grants meeting, or introduction to whatever funds you have, you should have more applicants applying, I feel that this should be a very important meeting. The citizens need to be able to participate and know what’s going on because at the end if it wasn’t for somebody else, we wouldn’t be here.
Turmel Woods
What we did was put out flyers in the lobby of Council Chambers during Council meeting, post it in the glass case outside City Hall and advertise in The Bulletin Newspaper.
Missy Barbara
Because I know that prior to last Council Meeting, I did not see flyers on the table, it was brought to our attention just last Council Meeting. And I know the Council members didn’t present it on record, so I know the citizens and residents weren’t aware that the meeting was today.
Claudia Batres
Your comments are a great example of how we can do better in announcing it. We already publish it in the paper, we ask that our councilmembers announce it at Council Meetings, like you saw already, we put flyers out during Council meetings, but we can try putting them out each week leading up to the meeting to make it more noticeable to the public.
Missy Barbara
We don’t have a paper because they don’t circulate the paper to the neighborhood anymore.
Claudia Batres
I talked to Mr. Freeman, he is over The Bulletin and I expressed that the citizens are commenting that they don’t have access to the paper and he was going to see more ways to get it out to the library, the post office and we have copies in our City Hall lobby.
Missy Barbara
But everybody doesn’t go to those places, especially our seniors which are the priority of the city. A lot of them don’t have access to that. A lot of people don’t have access to any of that that goes on the counter, so I think it would be better if you put it out on Spectrum tv. Make sure that the Mayor and Council people announce it. That should be on their announcements. Nobody knows what exactly is going on. You see who’s here, that tells you right there that the information didn’t get out.
Turmel Woods
We can inform Council to announce it in their Council comments, but the end of the day it’s up to them if they announce it or not.
Missy Barbara
Well I’m going to request to have them put it back in the newspaper. People like to read newspapers, and we’ve had them before. That’s the only way they can have communications and connection with each other, because like I said, everybody doesn’t go into the grocery store. They don’t have the knowledge, especially to pick it up and take it home.
Turmel Woods
Well we definitely want to get the word out and want to get our citizens to participate. This right here is an overview of what happens, and to take the public’s comments.
Martha Barajas
When you do the Action Plan, do you strictly put what the money is going to be spent on, or does the Council decide that they are going to do what they want? Turmel Woods
The plan is laid out with what we recommend, but of course a at the discretion of the Council, it can be changed.
Martha Barajas
The amount for the non-profits is no more than 15% .
Turmel Woods
Correct, 15% total, so the amount to distribute to agencies, we have a total of 209,000.
Claudia Batres
It’s actually $127,600. It’s been decreasing year by year. That amount is what we have funded currently, so we expect to see less in the following fiscal year.
Missy Barbara
So the Public Service is for the non-profits, so this $209,00 is distributed among however many nonprofits apply and they’re approved? How many non-profits applied? And are they the same non-profits applying over and over? Turmel Woods
It’s about 7 that applied, and yes, they can apply over and over each year. We have about 3-4 that apply every year.
Missy Barbara
How do the residents find out that there are funds available for home loans? Turmel Woods
In prior years we would do our First Time Homebuyers program. We would promote that City wide, we tried to get it to Council so they can promote it on their platforms, try to put it on the website to really try to get the work out there.
Missy Barbara
There hasn’t been recently, I know in the last 3-4 years seen any allocations or any notice or anything saying that there are funds available, prior to this yes, but not recently.
Turmel Woods
Claudia and Yesi, correct me if I’m wrong, but about 2 years ago NHS was running our First Time Homebuyers program.
Martha Barajas
I’m very discouraged that there is not more people, but that’s beyond your control.
Yesenia Garcia
We are always open for suggestions on how to get the work out.
Martha Barajas
It’s my personal view, but there are other non-profits that applied that should be here. It’s very important for them to be involved as well.
Turmel Woods
Absolutely, all city residents and all non-profits definitely can be involved and if they have questions, they can reach out to the Grants Division so we can further explain to them. In terms of promoting CDBG funds when it’s time for that we have a Technical Workshop.
Claudia Batres
When we announce that the RFP is out and available we also schedule a Technical Assistance Workshop for anyone that wants to apply and has any questions they can come to the workshop and help them out with the proposal, well we don’t write the proposal for them, we just answer questions. Once funded we have a Subrecipient Workshop, during that workshop we teach them about what forms need to be submitted, what back up is needed, quarterly reports and more.
Missy Barbara
That sounds good, because if you get the information out sooner or in the area that it needs to be promoted, I think it would be much better. A lot of residents don’t know about it, and the ones that did know about it didn’t show up because they figured we don’t get the money anyway.
Claudia Batres
In the past, the Federal Grants Advisory Board had made it mandatory for the non-profits applying for funds attend the Technical Assistance and Subrecipient workshops or they would be disqualified. But this particular meeting is a community meeting, it’s not necessarily for the sub-recipients, so it’s for anybody. It is not for you to come and get information on receiving these funds, it’ s for the residents to give some input on where they want these funds to go, the services, activities , projects they want to see in the City.
Turmel Woods
A lot of times a lot of agencies want to apply, but they don’t want to do the work because there are federal funds and there are strict guidelines that go along with them. Agencies fall off because they figure they don’t want to do the work.
Martha Barajas
How do you find out if you fall off the process, immediately when you look at the application? Turmel Woods
In this type of situation, we have two that submitted late. The RFP strictly says that it needs to be turned in to the City Clerk by 5:00 pm. We had two that submitted at 5:30 and 5:21 so they are immediately disqualified.
Missy Barbara
That’s not fair to the other applicants that followed directions. I think more engagement, the Council and Mayor need to bring more awareness and you guys need to come and speak periodically in advance and tell them to mark your calendar.
Martha Barajas
It’s important to hear what the community wants to see this money spent in, but at the end, it’s up to the Council right? We can talk and voice our opinions and concerns but at the end they have the ultimate say so.to spend this money right?
Missy Barbara
They’re going to spend it the way they want.
Yesenia Garcia
The community does have a say so, these are Federal funds, that’s why you come and voice your concerns, and if Council sees that that’ what the majority wants, that will help them decide how they allocate the money.
Turmel Woods
In terms of street repairs, it’s a big hot item in the City, we also have to look at depending on the list of streets they want to use the funds on, they have to be low to moderate income area.
Claudia Batres
Also a big misconception when it comes to street repair is that you can use the funds anywhere and for everything. You can’t use the funds for pot hole repair, it has to be used for complete street resurfacing.
Just to let you know that you will have another opportunity to voice your opinions on May 9th at another public hearing during Council Meeting.
Turmel Woods
On May 9th is where you will see the whole layout of the Action Plan that we’re proposing and the recommendations of the subrecipients.
