California Department of Housing and Community Development Homekey+ Notice of Funding Availability – November 26, 2024
Article V. Additional Program Requirements
Section 500. Veterans Assisted Units
i. Homekey+ Projects proposing to serve Veterans may also serve other qualifying members of the Target Population. The Veterans units will be funded from the Veterans allocation, and the remaining units will be funded from the other applicable allocation(s).
ii. The remaining units should still be used to house the most vulnerable Veterans, and the Grantee is required to demonstrate a good faith effort to place the Target Population in Veteran units. Good faith efforts include 1) adequate marketing of vacant units for at least 90 days prior to the commencement of initial lease-up or at least 60 days after a unit turns over, 2) partnering with local homeless and Veterans service providers to identify the Target Population, 3) coordination with the local Continuum of Care to receive prioritized Target Population referrals, 4) coordination with the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs to identify the Target Population, and 5) documented contacts with the Target Population, along with their Case Manager(s), who were referred to the Project with vacant Veteran units and choose not to lease the unit.
iii. HCD reserves the right to review documentation that substantiates the timing and frequency of such good faith efforts, including the date that the Grantee was notified of the vacancy, whenever such documentation exists and provide a descriptive timeline in the absence of documents to evidence activities such as phone calls and meetings. Documentation by the Grantee of these good faith efforts, along with information about Applicants that were not matched with a unit, is required as part of the Secondary Tenant process. iv. If units cannot be filled with Veterans at or below 30% AMI, Secondary Tenants can be housed. Secondary Tenants are defined in statute as either:
Veterans experiencing homelessness with an income of up to 60% of the AMI.
Rents for any redesignated units are determined by income that corresponds to the Secondary Tenant’s household income.
v. Upon vacancy, the Grantee is required to redesignate the next vacant unit as a PSH unit available to Veterans with incomes at or below 30% AMI with the goal of returning the Project into compliance with the unit mix required by the Project’s Standard Agreement.
vi. For new construction the vacancy period will be measured from the date the Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy is issued and for Rehabilitation Projects the vacancy period will be measured from the date the Notice of Completion is issued. Vacancy for previously occupied Homekey+ units during regular Project operations will be measured from the
California Department of Housing and Community Development Homekey+ Notice of Funding Availability – November 26, 2024
vii. date the Grantee or their operator takes possession of the unit. The Grantee or their operator may use the time from abandonment noticing timeframes and unlawful detainers at its discretion.
viii. In no instance shall a Project have less than 30% of its Veterans units leased to 30% AMI households*. In no instance shall a Project have less than 30% of its Veterans units leased to 30% AMI households*.
ix. HUD-VASH Special Rule: On August 13, 2024, HUD published the “Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers: Revised Implementation of the HUD Veterans Affairs Supporting Housing Program (VASH)”1 (“special rule”) that provides a new requirement to exclude Veterans’ service-connected disability benefits from household income calculations for the purpose of determining income eligibility. This rule for VASH applicants applies for both Project-based and tenant-based vouchers. Homekey+ income determinations for VASH applicants must exclude Veterans’ service-connected disability income and therefore are excluded from the Homekey+ Secondary Tenant alternative requirements and process. Eligible HUD-VASH program tenants are not considered Secondary Tenants and are not counted against the cap on the number of Veteran units that can be leased to Secondary Tenants under this policy.
The purpose of this is to resolve issues with matching unhoused Veterans with vacant PSH units restricted to Veterans, while retaining the program’s original intent of serving the highest need Veterans experiencing homelessness. *Veterans who are experiencing homelessness that are eligible to occupy veteran 30% AMI units after excluding VA service-connected disability benefits are recognized as eligible tenants. They are not treated as Secondary Tenants.
x. Each Veteran Project shall establish a goal of no amount less than five percent of total construction costs for work performed, or supplies provided to be spent with entities certified by the California Department of General Services (DGS) as a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE).
Pursuant to a five percent DVBE goal on total construction, each Project shall identify a DVBE Specialist who shall coordinate directly with CalVet in the identification and use of DVBEs.
Upon the commencement of construction, the Project shall submit a report to the Department and CalVet on DVBE plan implementation. This report will include: (A) The total amount budgeted for construction costs; (B) The names and addresses of DVBE contractors, subcontractors and/or suppliers that have received or are scheduled to receive payment.
1 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers: Revised Implementation of the HUD Veterans Affairs Supporting Housing Program Development, 89 Fed. Reg. 65769 (Aug. 13, 2024) (amending 24 CFR Parts 982 and 983).
California Department of Housing and Community Development Homekey+ Notice of Funding Availability – November 26, 2024
Upon completion of construction, the DVBE Specialist shall submit a report to the Department and Calvet detailing actual payments to DVBEs.
If the lead applicant is an established DVBE Reciprocity Partner [dgs.ca.gov] with DGS before the start of construction, then the Project shall only submit to the Department and Calvet a report detailing actual payments to DVBEs upon completion of construction.
Section 501. New Construction Cost Containment
A hallmark of Homekey has been producing housing quickly and cost-effectively, mostly through adaptive reuse. HCD will continue to retain and build upon these principles by requiring that Applicants seeking funding for new construction incorporate cost-containment strategies and commit to Total Development Cost (TDC) per unit caps.
New construction cost containment Projects will be eligible for the same Award structure as outlined in Section 205, but in addition must agree to and provide evidence that the Project can be completed based on the applicable TDC per unit cap.
The TDC per unit cap is inclusive of the Homekey+ Award and all other capital sources and expenditures, with the exceptions of land costs, COSRs, and other required reserves.
TDC per unit caps will be the lesser of: $450,000 per unit, OR the 2024 TCAC Basis Limits for the applicable county where the Project is located and unit size.
Like other Homekey+ Project types, Awards will be in the form of a grant and will provide up to 80% of the funds upfront. Unlike other Homekey+ Project types which must complete construction within 12 months starting 60 days from the date of Award, all new construction Projects awarded must commence construction within 6 months, starting 60 days after the Homekey+ Award, and have a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) no later than 24 months, starting 60 days from the date of Award.
The remaining 20% of funds will be disbursed upon submission of the TCO.
Applicants are advised that Homekey+ new construction Projects are not contemplated to be paired with tax credits or other highly competitive sources which are not secured by the date of application, in light of the above 6-month and 24-month deadlines. Rather, like other Homekey+ Project types, the Project must be fully funded and ready to proceed following a Homekey+ Award.
Applicants are further advised that construction shall not be contingent or reliant on any reasonably foreseeable externalities or timelines not disclosed in the application.
Grantees unable to meet critical milestone dates within applicable cure periods will be in breach of the Standard Agreement and may be subject to negative points under HCD’s Negative Point Policy.
As with all Homekey+ applications, a Local Public Entity must be the lead entity and may apply with a Co-Applicant developer.
California Department of Housing and Community Development Homekey+ Notice of Funding Availability – November 26, 2024
Section 502. Gap Financing
Consistent with the Homekey principles of flexibility and innovation, HCD will accept gap financing applications from Projects which meet, or could meet, the population targeting requirements of Homekey+, but have not started construction. The intent is to move Projects forward that are otherwise “shovel ready” and thereby quickly increase the number of units available.
Projects within this use must be submitted by the application due date listed in the program timeline table above. At the close of the application period, the applications will be prioritized as follows:
i. Projects with an Existing HCD Award Commitment with a pending disencumbrance per HCD’s disencumbrance policy within 6 months of the date of this NOFA.
ii. Projects with an Existing HCD Award Commitment with at least one prior unsuccessful application for tax credit/bonds ranked by total HCD funds committed.
iii. All other HCD funded Projects ranked by total amount of HCD funds committed.
a. All prior Homekey Projects awarded as “interim to permanent”, seeking funding to convert interim units to Permanent Supportive Housing, fall into this category. Only Projects that complied with the terms of the original Homekey “interim to permanent” award by completing construction and are currently achieving full on-site occupancy as interim housing will qualify for this funding. HCD at its sole discretion will determine compliance.
iv. All other Projects that are stalled due to an unsuccessful tax credit/bond application ranked by total amount of public resources committed (may include resources such as local or federal funding, donated land, etc.).
HCD will rank projects within each priority based on total gap per unit.
Depending on total demand for this typology, HCD reserves the right prioritize funding for Priority (i.), above, either in full or partially, and to not fund or fund a subset of,otherwise eligible Projects from ii, iii, and/or iv above. All prospective Applicants are encouraged to use cost containment strategies to seek the lowest amount of gap financing possible that will allow the Project to commence and complete construction.
Qualifying HCD funding programs include the following:
a. Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program b. Community Development Block Grant Program – Disaster Recovery c. HOME American Rescue Plan
California Department of Housing and Community Development Homekey+ Notice of Funding Availability – November 26, 2024
d. HOME Investment Partnerships Program
e. Homekey
f. Housing for a Healthy California Program Article I
g. Infill Infrastructure Grant Program
h. Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program
i. Local Government Matching Grants Program
j. Multifamily Housing Program
k. Multifamily Super NOFA
l. National Housing Trust Fund
m. No Place Like Home Program – competitive and non-competitive HCDadministered funds and Alternative Process County funded Projects n. Permanent Local Housing Allocation Competitive Allocation o. Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention Program All prior HCD award(s) must not have expired, or been terminated, disencumbered, or otherwise held to be void.
As with all other Homekey+ Projects, a Local Public Entity is required as a lead Applicant. In addition, the gap financing application must include all Sponsors in connection with Existing HCD Award Commitment(s).Homekey+ gap financing funds are not intended to supplant Performing Debt. The amount and terms of Performing Debt shown in the Homekey+ gap financing application must generally remain the same or be higher and more restrictive than the amount and terms shown in previous HCD applications unless there are extenuating circumstances that are clearly explained in writing by the Applicant and agreed to in writing by HCD.
For the purposes of this gap financing Projects only, Homekey+ will award no more than $450,000 per unit, inclusive of any Operating Award needed to buy down units originally contemplated as higher than 30% AMI. Any amount over $450,000 per unit will be required to provide an Enforceable Funding Commitment at the time of application.
Applicants may seek gap financing for all units or a portion of units. If Applicants seek gap financing for only a portion of units, an alternative, nonHomekey+ source is required at the time of application to fill any capital gaps associated with the non Homekey+ units. All units funded by Homekey+ will be required to serve the Target Population.
California Department of Housing and Community Development Homekey+ Notice of Funding Availability – November 26, 2024
Funds shall be used only for expenses that would be categorized as Project costs by the federal low-income housing tax credit program, including, but not limited to, commercial costs and reasonable reserves. HCD reserves the right to disallow costs that do not constitute reasonable Project costs, as determined by HCD in its sole and absolute discretion.
Gap financing applications should request the full capital amount needed to proceed with and complete construction, thereby avoiding the need to apply for tax credits or seek other sources of funds.
Homekey+ gap financing awards are not intended to supplant local public agency funds. Accordingly, any local agency resources shown as committed in the applications for any Existing HCD Award Commitments must be included in the financing proposed in the Homekey+ gap financing application at the same or higher level of funding as previously identified.
Homekey+ Gap Financing Terms, Deadlines, and Restrictions Requests for reducing Performing Debt or the term of the Performing Debt will be reviewed on a case-by- case basis and are not a guaranteed approval. Reduced principal loan amounts of Performing Debt must include a corresponding reduced amount in the development budget. i. Gap financing awards will be in the form of a grant. All Homekey+ gap financing awarded Projects must commence construction no later 6 months, starting 60 days from the date of the Homekey+ Conditional Award letter. For the purposes of the Homekey+ Award, commencement of construction means the first land-disturbing activity associated with a Project, including land preparation such as clearing, grading, and filling, or the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of a building, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.
HCD may, in its sole and absolute discretion, extend this deadline due to conditions beyond the control of the Sponsor, for a period not to exceed 90 days. ii. The Homekey+ gap financing awarded Project must receive, and submit evidence to HCD, a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) within 24 months, starting 60 days from the Homekey+ Award.
iii. All Homekey+ gap financing Grantees are prohibited from applying for or receiving a tax credit allocation on a Homekey+ funded Project for a period of 20 years from the Homekey+ Conditional Award date for that Project. This prohibition will be memorialized in the Homekey+ Standard Agreement and in amendments to the Standard Agreements for any Existing HCD Award Commitment. iv. If, following a Homekey+ application and award, a Sponsor syndicates and sells a portion of their ownership interest to a partner or equivalent party seeking tax losses associated with the Project, nine-tenths of the gross proceeds of that sale shall be remitted to HCD. Negative points may be assessed to the Sponsor in the event the Project is sold or refinanced with a distribution of net equity.
California Department of Housing and Community Development Homekey+ Notice of Funding Availability – November 26, 2024
Section 503. Article XXXIV
Homekey+ provides permanent supportive housing for persons (including Veterans and Youth) who are homeless, chronically homeless, or at risk of homelessness, and who are living with a Behavioral Health Challenge. As such, article XXXIV, section 1of the California Constitution is not applicable to Homekey+ funded development, consistent with Health and Safety Code sections 37000-37002.
Section 504. Housing First
The Eligible Applicant shall certify to employ the core components of Housing First, as set forth at Welfare and Institutions Code Section 8255, subdivision (b), in its property management and tenant selection practices. Projects shall accept tenants regardless of sobriety, participation in services or treatment, history of incarceration, credit history, or history of eviction in accordance with practices permitted pursuant to Housing First practices, including local Coordinated Entry System prioritization protocols, or other federal or state Project funding sources.
Section 505. Tenant Referrals
Referrals to Homekey+ Assisted Units shall be made through the local Coordinated Entry System (CES), or another comparable prioritization system based on greatest need for housing and services, to determine the most appropriate referral. Homekey+ units should be reserved for serving the Target Population where households are more appropriately served by PSH, including referrals from persons exiting encampments. Households with lower levels of need may be better served by other housing and less intense service interventions.
Applicants must demonstrate efforts to coordinate with their local county behavioral health department, to ensure the referral process to the Homekey+ units is aligned with the requirements of this NOFA.
If referrals will be made using a prioritization system other than CES, the Applicant must describe the plan for tenant referrals in detail, including which agency is responsible for managing the referral approach and what stakeholders are involved in the prioritization process. Awardees are encouraged to consider an alternative referral system consisting of referrals for persons exiting encampments, incarceration, or treatment facilities. Prioritization for Homekey+ units should be based on greatest need factors and assessments established by the local jurisdiction in collaboration with the Continuum of Care (CoC). CoC collaboration in Project and Supportive Services design is also strongly encouraged to help target and serve those with the greatest need.
Section 506. Participation in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Pursuant to Assembly Bill 977 (Statutes of 2021-22), Grantees who have been awarded HCD funding under the Homekey+ program must enter Universal and Common Data Elements as defined by HUD, on the individuals and families served into the Homeless
California Department of Housing and Community Development Homekey+ Notice of Funding Availability – November 26, 2024
Management Information System (HMIS). For more information about this requirement visit Homelessness Program Data Reporting | California Department of Housing and Community Development
Any health information provided to, or maintained within, the statewide Homeless Management Information System shall not be subject to public inspection or disclosure under the California Public Records Act (Division 10 (commencing with Section 7920.000) of Title 1 of the Government Code). “Health information” means “protected health information” as defined in Part 160.103 of Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and “medical information,” as defined in subdivision (j) of Section 56.05 of the Civil Code.
Section 507. Relocation
In addition to the Relocation Assistance Narrative required in Section 300 submitted at the time of application, before the Homekey+ Award will be disbursed, Grantee must submit either:
i. An HCD-approved relocation plan; or
ii. An HCD-issued Certification Regarding Non-Application of Relocation Benefits and Indemnification Agreement (certificate of no-relocation), which has been duly executed and approved by HCD.
Grantee must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local relocation law.
Pursuant to relocation law, a Grantee must have a relocation plan prior to proceeding with any phase of a Project or other activity that will result in the displacement of persons, businesses, or farm operations. To ensure that displaced persons and entities do not suffer a disproportionate impact as a result of Projects which benefit the public, all notices to vacate and relocation services must be provided to them in accordance with applicable law.
HCD will identify its form, substance, and submittal requirements for these relocation documents in the Homekey+ application materials. Where the Grantee’s activities will or may result in displacement, the Grantee’s development budget shall include enough funds to pay all costs of relocation benefits and assistance. Any modifications to the foregoing process requirements must be approved in advance by HCD in writing.
Section 508. Non-Discrimination and Accessibility
Grantees shall adopt a written non-discrimination policy requiring that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, familial status, source of income, disability, age, medical condition, genetic information, citizenship, primary language, immigration status (except where explicitly prohibited by federal law), arbitrary characteristics, and all other classes of individuals protected from discrimination under federal or state fair housing laws, individuals perceived to be a member of any of the preceding classes, or any individual or person associated with any of the preceding classes be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits

Applicants are further advised that while Homekey+ incorporates the MHP guidelines, as explained in Section 101, as a courtesy and point of emphasis, HCD directs prospective Applicants to Section 7314 (a) and (b) of the MHP guidelines, which further articulates Fair Housing, Nondiscrimination, and Accessibility requirements.
HCD also suggests Applicants review its April 2021 Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing document at this link.
Section 509. Prevailing Wages
Applicant's contemplated use of Homekey+ funds is subject to California's prevailing wage law (Lab. Code, § 1720 et seq.). Applicant is urged to seek professional legal advice about the law's requirements. Prior to disbursing the Homekey+ funds, HCD will require a certification of compliance with California's prevailing wage law, as well as all applicable federal prevailing wage law, or a certification that the development is exempt from prevailing wage as defined in Government Code 65913.4(a)(9). The certification must verify that prevailing wages have been or will be paid, and that labor records will be maintained and made available to any enforcement agency upon request. The certification must be signed by the general contractor(s) and the Grantee. The Department will not disburse funds for Rehabilitation or construction until the certification is signed by the general contractor.

Section 510. Environmental Clearances
Projects, including phased Projects, that satisfy the requirements HSC 50675.1.5, shall be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Projects under this section are considered a “use by right”, which are specifically exempt from CEQA (CA Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq.). (HSC 50675.1.5(e)(2)(A)).
Moreover, HSC 50675.1.5(c) specifically exempts HCD actions taken to “provide financial assistance or insurance for the development and construction of Projects” from CEQA review. HCD encourages Eligible Applicants to fully engage with HCD’s technical assistance and to review the CEQA exemption set forth at HSC section 50675.1.5 and the provision for land use consistency and conformity set forth at HSC section 50675.1.3, subdivision (i).
Applicants should consult with their counsel for legal advice in construing application of the foregoing exemptions to their Project. It is entirely within an Applicant’s discretion to determine whether to use the statutory CEQA exemption, whether the exemption applies to the Applicant’s proposed activity, or whether some other mechanism applies and could be used to satisfy obligations under CEQA.
Applicants must provide National Environmental Act (NEPA) clearance, as applicable.
According to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Grantees must consider environmental impacts early in the planning process before decisions are made, and actions are taken. The Project must assess environmental impacts if a Project has applied for HUD assistance (HOME, CDBG, PBVs, Choice Neighborhoods Grant, ShelterCare Plus, etc.). HUD’s regulations prohibit grant recipients and their partners/contractors from committing or spending HUD or non-HUD funds on an activity that could limit the choice of reasonable alternatives before completing the environmental review process. The prohibition of choice-limiting actions does not apply to commitments of non-federal funds before the Project has applied for HUD funding.
When an application is submitted for a federal grant/loan, all activity must stop until the environmental review process is complete.
There is no flexibility or waiver of NEPA environmental review requirements. The Project must receive an Authority to Use Grant Funds (AUGF) before the Project proceeds with the acquisition or physical activities, including non-HUD-funded activities.
A choice-limiting action can result in a violation that jeopardizes HUD funding for the Project.
The prohibition on choice-limiting actions prohibits physical activity, including acquisition, Rehabilitation, and construction, as well as contracting for or committing to any of these actions before completion of the environmental review. Some examples of choice-limiting actions are:
• Acquisition
• Rehabilitation
• Demolition
• Site improvements (including site clearance/grubbing) • Leases or Transfers
• Entering into contracts such as construction bidding
• A change in Project conditions or unexpected conditions arise
California Department of Housing and Community Development Homekey+ Notice of Funding Availability – November 26, 2024
Choice-Limiting Actions are not:
• Plans or designs
• Activities necessary to support an application for federal, state, Tribal, or local permits
• Option agreement on a proposed property (make sure that the contract is contingent on environmental review clearance and don’t close escrow before the review process is complete)
HCD does not determine which Projects will require NEPA clearance. Applicants shall provide HCD a status of any required NEPA review at the time of application. For more information, visit the HUD Exchange, review HCD’s Environmental Review Guidance by clicking here, or contact HCD’s Environmental Services Team at [email protected].
Section 511. Land Use
HSC Section 50675.1.5 outlines the criteria by which a Homekey+ Project shall be a use by right and subject to a streamlined, ministerial review process. Appendix C provides the full list of criteria for 50675.1.5. Applicants should consult with their counsel for legal advice in the application of the law to their Project. HCD may also request documentation that Applicants have considered the law in their development planning.
Section 512. State Requirements
All Assisted Units and other Units of the Projects must meet all applicable state and local requirements pertaining to rental housing, including but not limited to, requirements for minimum square footage, and requirements related to maintaining the property in a safe and sanitary condition.
Section 513. Grantee Liability
All entities in the Grantee structure (to include the Eligible Applicant, any Co-Applicants, and any other entities added to the ownership structure of the Project pursuant to [Section 303 vi.] of this NOFA) shall be bound by the Homekey+ Program Requirements; and shall remain jointly and severally liable to HCD for performance under the Standard Agreement and for compliance with all Homekey+ Program Requirements. This provision shall remain applicable notwithstanding any Departmentapproved transfer or assignment of interest, or any designation of a third party for the undertaking of all or any part of the Scope of Work in the Standard Agreement.

The Grantee cannot request funds for rehabilitation or construction until they have provided a certification of compliance with prevailing wage laws signed by the Grantee and their selected general contractor, as detailed in Section 509.
The Standard Agreement will set forth the general conditions of disbursement, any conditions precedent to disbursements (e.g., proof of recordation of the Affordability Covenant, documentation requirements for pre-Standard Agreement expenditures or conditional performance measures), and HCD’s remedies upon an event of default. The Standard Agreement will also identify which of the Co-Grantees will be the designated payee.
Homekey+ funds awarded to an Applicant may not be transferred to another entity to expend on an eligible use unless that other entity is a signatory on the Standard Agreement.
All Homekey+ funds must be wired to an escrow company.

Grantees are required to acknowledge HCD in all publications, websites, signage, invitations, and other media-related and public-outreach products and events related to the Homekey+ Project. HCD staff will provide their respective logo file(s) and guidance on their usage directly to the Grantees.
i. Long-form written materials, such as reports, must include the following standard language about HCD and Homekey+:
a. Housing stability is vital to mental health wellness. With safe, affordable housing and Supportive Services to address Behavioral Health Challenges California’s most vulnerable residents will have the foundation they need to thrive. With funding allocated from the passage of Proposition 1 and HHAP Supplemental funds, HCD will expand on the success of its Homekey program through Homekey+ to help support the development of PSH for Veterans and individuals (or households with individuals) who are At Risk of or experiencing homelessness and with mental health or substance use challenges.
ii. Informational materials that do not qualify as long-form, but include at least a paragraph of text, such as press releases, media advisories, short case studies, some flyers, etc., should include the following language:
a. Long version: Homekey+ is funded by almost $2.145 billion from Proposition 1 bond and HHAP supplemental funds, allowing HCD to expand on the success of its Homekey program to help support the development of Permanent Supportive Housing for Veterans and individuals At Risk of or experiencing homelessness and with mental health or substance use challenges.
b. Short version: Funded by Proposition 1 and HHAP, Homekey+ creates Permanent Supportive Housing for Californians with Behavioral Health Challenges.
iii. Grantees may at times produce promotional materials that are primarily visual in nature, such as banners, signage, certain flyers, and sharable images for social media.

In order to finance the project Prima Development has applied for tax exempt financing in an amount not to exceed $60 million from LACDA.

Any bonds issued under and pursuant to the terms of the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement shall be limited obligations solely of LACDA, and the City shall not be obligated thereon or with respect thereto. Further, the agreement shall not bind the City to any financial obligation or credit risk or allow any repayment recourse to the City and nothing shall be deemed to bind the City to make any expenditure or to incur indebtedness in relation to the bonds or the project.

Staff Report

STAFF REPORT
Date: March 18, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Johncito “John” Peraza, Assistant to the City Manager Subject: Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Process Briefing
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council isrequested to receive and file the briefing on the 2025 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP).
BACKGROUND
The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is a federally required document that identifies risks, vulnerabilities, and mitigation actions to reduce the impact of natural and human-caused hazards. The Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) of 2000 mandates that communities update their LHMP every five years to remain eligible for FEMA funding and disaster assistance.
This briefing aims to inform the City Council on the LHMP development process, including key phases, public engagement efforts, and next steps. The City is currently in the process of updating its LHMP to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations while enhancing community resilience.
Chronology of Actions:
1. January - February 2025: Phase I - Planning Process Initiation o Established the core planning team and steering committee. o Defined the planning area and engagement strategy.
o Launched an online survey for public input in English and Spanish. o Conducted Planning Team Meeting #1.
2. February - April 2025: Phase II - Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment o Identify and profile hazards, including geographic impact, past occurrences, likelihood of future events, and climate change considerations. o Conducted a vulnerability assessment to evaluate critical facilities, structures, and Item Number

populations at risk.
o Hold Planning Team Meeting #2.
o Promoted the LHMP update via the City’s Emergency Preparedness webpage, press releases, social media, and TV coverage.
3. May - September 2025: Phase III - Mitigation Strategy Development o Draft mitigation actions covering multiple hazards, including earthquakes, hazardous materials, flooding, and urban fires.
o Facilitate public review of the draft LHMP.
o Submit the plan to Cal OES and FEMA for review.
o Conduct Planning Team Meeting #3 to refine strategies.
4. September - December 2025: Phase IV - Plan Finalization and Adoption o Finalize public draft and open a formal comment period. o Submit the plan for FEMA’s final approval.
o Present the LHMP to the City Council for adoption following the "approvable pending adoption" letter from FEMA.
o Establish plan maintenance procedures for ongoing updates and community engagement.
ANALYSIS
The 2025 LHMP is a comprehensive plan designed to enhance community resilience by addressing the city’s most significant hazards. The plan is structured into six key sections:
1. Introduction
2. Planning Process
3. City Profile and Capability Assessment
4. Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
5. Mitigation Strategy
6. Monitoring, Evaluating, and Updating the Plan
The mitigation strategy includes 16 multi-hazard actions and targeted measures for earthquakes, hazardous materials, flooding, and severe weather. The City will prioritize these actions based on feasibility, funding availability, and potential impact on community safety.
Public engagement will be a critical component of the LHMP update. Outreach efforts will include press releases, social media updates, a dedicated webpage, and an electronic comment form to ensure broad community participation.
CONCLUSION
No formal action is required at this time. Staff will keep the City Council informed on progress and key milestones as the LHMP update moves forward.

STAFF REPORT
Date: March 18, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Johncito “John” Peraza, Assistant to the City Manager Subject: Discussion and Direction Regarding the Update of the City’s Strategic Plan for 2026-2030
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to provide direction regarding the update of the City of Cudahy’s Strategic Plan for 2026-2030, including whether to engage Management Partners, the firm used for the current Strategic Plan, issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for consultant services, and determine the level of community and business input desired for the process.
BACKGROUND
1. In late 2021, the City engaged Management Partners to conduct interviews with City Council members and key staff to discuss Cudahy’s future priorities, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the allocation of ARPA funding.
2. In early 2022, community and business surveys were conducted, with 993 residents and 20 businesses responding. The surveys were available in both English and Spanish.
3. In May 2022, a Council Strategic Planning Workshop was held with the participation of the Mayor, City Council members, and department directors to establish a vision statement and six key goals.
4. The 2022-2026 Strategic Plan was adopted and has been implemented with periodic updates, including revisions in July 2023 and October 2024.
5. As the current Strategic Plan approaches its expiration in 2026, staff seeks direction from the City Council on how to proceed with the next iteration covering 2026-2030.
ANALYSIS
The City of Cudahy’s Strategic Plan serves as a guiding document that sets priorities and directs resources to achieve key goals. The current plan focuses on six core areas: community services, Item Number
14G
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"

social services, housing security and affordability, financial stability and transparency, city infrastructure and service delivery, and communication and outreach.
As we approach the end of the current plan, staff seeks direction on how to structure the next planning process. Key considerations include:
• Whether to retain Management Partners (now Baker-Tilley), the firm that facilitated the 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, or initiate a competitive RFP process to explore other consulting firms.
• The level of community and business input to incorporate in the planning process, such as surveys, town halls, or stakeholder meetings.
• The format of the Strategic Planning Workshop and the involvement of Council, staff, and external partners.
Providing early direction on these aspects will allow staff to develop a comprehensive timeline and budget for the planning process, ensuring a seamless transition to the 2026-2030 Strategic Plan.
CONCLUSION
If the City Council provides direction on consultant selection, community input, and the planning framework, staff will move forward with preparations for the Strategic Plan update.
If an RFP is chosen, staff will prepare a notice. If Management Partners (now Baker Tilley) is retained, staff will negotiate a scope of work and timeline. Regardless of the approach, staff will return to the City Council with updates and a proposed work plan.

Strategic Plan May 2022
Background and Context
Project Background
The last several years have been unprecedented due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Determining the needs of the City as Cudahy emerges from that stressful period has made strategic planning more important than ever. Leaders in the City of Cudahy recognized the need to identify priorities and set goals for the next four years. These goals will guide work planning and, as importantly, identify spending priorities for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. This Strategic Plan and accompanying Implementation Action Plan provide tools for both the City Council and City administrators to track and manage progress toward completion of the strategies associated with each goal.
Planning Process
In late 2021, Management Partners conducted individual interviews with Council members and key staff to hear their ideas about the future of Cudahy, understand some of the impacts from the Covid-19 pandemic, and discuss priorities for ARPA funding. Management Partners then developed a survey for community members and another survey for businesses. Both surveys were also offered in Spanish and deployed on the City’s website. A total of 993 residents responded to the community survey and 20 businesses answered the business survey.
The responses were used in preparation for a Council Strategic Planning Workshop held in May. The workshop included the Mayor, City Council members, and department directors. During the workshop, City leaders and staff worked together to discuss a vision statement and goals and strategies to guide the City into the year 2026 and beyond.

Conclusion
This Strategic Plan includes six goals to make
Cudahy stronger and begin to achieve the vision to
which the Council and staff aspire. The goals are
• Community services (including programs and
activities for all ages),
• Social services,
• Housing security and affordability,
• Financial stability and transparency,
• City infrastructure and service delivery, and
• Communication and outreach.
Throughout the next four years, Cudahy leaders and
staff will work to implement the goals and strategies
in the plan. Important next steps will include
preparing a thorough and detailed plan of
implementation based on priorities and the budget
needed to support the implementation plan
The Strategic Plan is meant to be a living document.
Therefore, the goals and strategies should be revisited regularly and updated as needed. As priorities change
or are adjusted over time, the plan should also reflect those changes.
Cudahy leaders and staff are committed to excellence
and transparency in providing services to the
community. This Strategic Plan demonstrates that
commitment.
