EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council will consider approving the City's Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 for the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Grant programs. The Annual Action Plan must be submitted to HUD as a prerequisite for receiving federal Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Grant funds. The recommended activities in the Annual Action Plan will satisfy HUD's required eligibility criteria that the activities primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons. If approved by the City Council, the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan will be submitted to HUD for final review and approval.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

1.Approve the proposed Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan, and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to submit the document and the required certification to the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development; and

2.Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to modify and execute any and all appropriate instruments, agreements, contract s, and implementing documents related to the implementation and administration of the proposed Fiscal Year 2024- 2025 Annual Action Plan, Community Development Block Grant, and HOME Investment Partnership Grant Program, including subrecipient grant contract s and agreements, based on the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development's appropriation to the City.

BACKGROUND
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides the City with its annual entitlement of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) grants. These two federal grants are available to the City

APPROVED BY

for a variety of community development activities including affordable housing activities, neighborhood improvement programs, economic development strategies, improvement of public facilities, and support for public service needs. The CDBG and HOME grants can be used for eligible activities, which primarily benefit low- and moderate-income households.

The City is required to prepare an Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) every year. The Action Plan also serves as the City's application for both the CDBG and HOME grants and provides HUD with information on specific activities and projects that the City will undertake with federal grant funds from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 (see Attachment A).

The Action Plan must be submitted to HUD for review and approval each year, and it is a prerequisite for receiving the federal CDBG and HOME grants. In the course of developing this proposed Action Plan, staff scheduled two community meetings, which occurred on Thursday, February 8, 2024 and Tuesday, February 13, 2024. These meetings were marketed on the City's social media accounts, the Downey Patriot, and various social media community groups/applications, such as the Positively Downey Facebook page. In all, there were five attendees at this year's community meetings: two attendees requested further details on the FY 2024-2025 public service application and the associated process, while a third attendee was present at the online meeting, to learn about the Housing Division and CDBG program. Staff responded to and addressed questions and needed information.

ANALYSIS
Annual Action Plan

During the next program year, it is estimated the City of Downey will receive $1,453,683 in new entitlement grants under the federal CDBG ($1,017,976) and HOME ($417,338) programs. In addition, the City expects to receive approximately $358,628 in HOME program income and approximately $2,139,759 in HOME funds transferring from the prior year. Program income is generated when previous recipients of HOME programs repay their loans, including Housing Rehabilitation and First-Time Homebuyer loans.

The draft 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan proposes to allocate approximately $3,933,701 of CDBG and HOME funds to eligible projects and activities. At the time the public notice and initial draft Action Plan were released, HUD had not yet released the 2024-2025 Annual Allocations. For this reason, HUD advised the City to prepare draft documents utilizing the current year annual allocation s (in 2023-2024, the City received $972,424 in CDBG funds and $481,259 in HOME funds) and include language detailing the methodology by which the City will reallocate funds should the 2024 -2025 annual allocation increase or decrease. The City has followed that methodology to reallocate funds accordingly.

AND HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP GRANT ACTION PLAN
MAY 28, 2024

The recommended activities in the Action Plan will satisfy HUD's required eligibility criteria that the activities primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons. The programs proposed in the 2024-2025 Action Plan are projected to produce the following objectives:

o an at-risk youth program, administered by the10-20 Club; o a program for low-income veterans to provide workforce development and job training, crisis management, and
homelessness prevention services by Veterans Stand Together; and o a substance use disorder and mental health treatment services program by Los Angeles Center for Alcohol and Drug Abuse. • Provide fair housing education, counseling, antidiscrimination and landlord- tenant mediation services to 240 people.

For each application for Public Service funding, proposed activities are reviewed to determine if they are eligible to ensure they meet a CDBG Na tional Objective, and to ensure they conform with the City’s Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan Goals. This review process is completed before an application is considered for funding and recommended for inclusion in the Annual Action Plan to the City Council. The review process includes, but is not limited to:

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
On May 12, 2020, the Downey City Council adopted the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, which described the City’s housing and community development needs, strategies, and activities to address those needs over a five-year period using entitlement grant funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 2024-2025 Action Plan is the fifth of five annual plans implementing the 2020- 2025 Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals via the investment of annual allocations of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds from HUD. The Action Plan identifies available resources, annual goals, projects and activities for the period beginning July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025.

The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, awards grants and loans to non-profit, for-profit or public organizations for programs and projects in furtherance of this Plan. The CDBG and HOME programs generally provide for a wide range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income Downey residents, as discussed below.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created the CDBG Program. The primary objective of the CDBG program is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income. The CDBG regulations require that each activity meet one of the following national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons;
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or • Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency (usually the result of a natural disaster).

Each year, the City certifies with the submission of its Annual Action Plan that it has given maximum feasible priority to activities, which meet the first and second objectives above. Additionally, the City certifies that no less than 70 percent of the CDBG funds received, over a three-year certification period, will be designed to benefit low- and moderate-income persons.

HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program
The Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 created the HOME program to expand the supply of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households. Often used in partnership with local nonprofit housing development organizations, the HOME program can support a wide range of affordable

City of Downey - 2 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

housing activities, including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating rental and ownership housing or providing direct rental assistance to low- and moderate-income people. 2024-2025 Program Year
For the 2024-2025 program year, the City will receive approximately $1,017,976 of CDBG and $417,338 of HOME funds from HUD. When combined with an estimated $358,628 of HOME program income and $2,139,759 of prior year unspent HOME resources, the 2024-2025 Action Plan allocates a total of approximately $1,017,976 of CDBG funds and $2,915,725 of HOME funds to the following program activities to be implemented from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
2024-2025 CDBG PROGRAM
CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Program $299,332
Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse $20,000
Veteran Employment Support Training (VEST) Program $25,000 10-20 Club $31,500

Affordable Housing Development $62,600
Homeless Rental Assistance Program $50,000 General Planning and Administration $41,733
HOME TOTAL: $2,915,725

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan HUD’s Community Planning and Development (CPD) Outcome Performance Measurement Framework classifies objectives in three (3) categories: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunity. In consideration of community input as well as the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis, the Strategic Plan identifies eight (8) high priority needs to be addressed through the implementation of activities with seven (7) Strategic Plan goals.

The high priority needs include:
• Increase the supply of affordable housing
• Preserve the supply of affordable housing

City of Downey - 3 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

• Equal access to housing opportunities
• Provide public services for low- and moderate-income youth, families, seniors • Provide public services for low- and moderate-income residents with special needs • Improve public facilities and infrastructure
• Provide neighborhood Services
• Homeless Prevention Services
Consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG and HOME programs to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, the priority needs listed above will be addressed over the next five years through the implementation of CDBG and HOME funded activities aligned with the following measurable goals included in the Strategic Plan section of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.

City of Downey - 4 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

The City is currently implementing the project and activities included in the 2023-2024 Action Plan. As of this writing, all projects and activities are underway.

The investment of HUD resources during the 2015-2019 program years was a catalyst for positive change in the community. Together with other federal, state and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City and its partners to:
• Provide fair housing services to residents of Downey
• Expand affordable housing through acquisition, of 1 housing unit • Provide sustainability of decent housing through rehabilitating 103 housing units and • conducting 60 lead-based paint testing and abatement
• Enhance low- and moderate-income neighborhoods by inspecting 2,520 housing • units through code enforcement
• Stimulate business investment and job development through direct financial • assistance to businesses and section 108 repayment by providing 303 jobs • Stimulate business investment and job development through direct financial • assistance to businesses and section 108 repayment through 2 business • Provide financial assistance to increase number of affordable housing units assisting • 6 housing units
• Provide public service activities to 1,437 youth
• Provide public service activities to 495 persons
• Help provide services to persons with special needs to include seniors, battered and • abused spousal programs, meal programs, and case management services to 124,748 • people
While the City and local partners were able to successfully implement the activities listed above during the last five (5) years, there were insufficient resources to fully address the level of need identified in the last Consolidated Plan.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process The Consolidated Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91 provide the citizen participation and consultation requirements for the development of the Consolidated Plan. Chief among those requirements is the need to consult with the Continuum of Care (CoC) to addr ess homelessness, Public Housing Authorities (PHA), business leaders, civic leaders and public or private agencies that address housing, health, social service, victim services, employment, or education needs of low-income individuals and families, homeless individuals and families, youth and/or other persons with special needs. This qualitative input was combined with a

City of Downey - 5 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

quantitative analysis of demographic, housing and socioeconomic data to develop the strategic plan that reflects the housing, community and economic development needs and priorities for the City of Downey over the next five years.

In accordance with the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan, residents and stakeholders were able to participate in the development process through surveys, community meetings and public hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low- and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low - and moderate- income neighborhoods. Efforts were made to encourage the participation of minorities and non -English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. The consultation process included representatives of the CoC, PHA, and other specified groups who completed surveys, provided local data, and assisted the City to ensure practical coordination of strategies to maximize impact and to avoid duplication of effort.

5. Summary of public comments
In the development of the Action Plan, the City solicited applications from various non -profit organizations and City Departments for the provision of fair housing services, public services, community and housing projects. Two Community Meetings were held on February 22 and February 13, 2024 to solicit public input.

The draft 2024-2025 Action Plan was available for public review and comment from April 25, 2024 to May 28, 2024. The City Council convened a public hearing on May 28, 2024 to receive comments on the Action Plan. Comments received during the Community Meetings, public review period and at the Public Hearings are provided in “Appendix A” of this document.

6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them All comments and views received by the City in the development of the Action Plan were accepted and taken into consideration in the development of the Action Plan.

7. Summary
The 2024-2025 Action Plan addresses all seven (7) Strategic Plan Goals from the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan by allocating a total of approximately $1,017,976 in CDBG funds and $2,915,725 of HOME funds towards eligible activities that are to be implemented from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Activities submitted for consideration in response to any solicitation of Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process must conform with one (1) of the seven (7) Strategic Plan strategies and the associated action -oriented, measurable goals in order to be considered to receive CDBG or HOME funds.

At the time the public review period began, HUD had not yet released the 2024-2025 Annual Allocations.

For this reason, HUD advised the City to prepare this draft document utilizing the current year annual allocation and include language detailing the methodology by which the City w ould reallocate funds should the 2024-2025 annual allocation increase or decrease.

City of Downey - 6 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

Therefore, if the City’s 2024-2025 annual allocation changed, a request of the City Council would be made to provide staff and the public with the following language for adjusting activity budgets for the CDBG and HOME programs:
• Should the CDBG allocation be greater than $972,424:
o Fair Housing Services will remain at $20,000 but the CDBG Administration budget will be increased to be compliant with the 20% cap for administrative activities. o Funding levels for the public service activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024- 2025 Action Plan.
o Section 108 Loan Repayment will be based on amortization schedule. o Balance of funds will be added to the City’s CDBG funded Housing Rehabilitation Program activity.
• Should the CDBG allocation be less than $972,424:
o Fair Housing Services will remain at $20,000 but the CDBG Administration budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 20% cap for administrative activities. o Funding levels for the public service activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024- 2025 Action Plan.
o Section 108 Loan Repayment will be based on amortization schedule. o Balance of funds will be deducted from the City’s CDBG funded Home Improvement Program activity
• Should the HOME allocation be greater than $481,259:
o The HOME Administration budget will be increased to be compliant with the 10% cap for administrative activities.
o The CHDO activity budget will be increased to be compliant with the 15% set -aside requirement.
o Balance of funds will be added to the City’s HOME funded Housing Rehabilitation Program. • Should the HOME allocation be less than $481,259:
o The HOME Administration budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 10% cap for administrative activities.
o The CHDO activity budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 15% set -aside requirement.
o Balance of funds will be added to the City’s HOME funded Housing Rehabilitation Program.

On May 7, 2024, HUD announced the 2024-2025 Annual Allocations increasing the CDBG allocation from $972,424 to $1,017,976 and decreasing the HOME allocation from $481,259 to $417,338. The City adjusted the activity budgets based on the methodology provided above.

City of Downey - 8 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction
The City of Downey 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, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following methods:
• Stakeholder surveys (web-based and paper-surveys)
• Individual stakeholder consultations
• Community meetings
• Public hearings
• Receipt of written comments
To gather the greatest breadth and depth of information, the City consulted with a wide variety of agencies, groups and organizations concerning the housing, community and economic development needs of the community. Each of the agencies, groups or organizations consulted is represented below. The input received from these consultation partners helped establish and inform the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan. The City also provided each agency with an opportunity to comment on the draft 2024- 2025 Action Plan during the public review and comment period.

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(I)).

The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of the CDBG and HOME programs. As a result, during the development of this Consolidated Plan, the City consulted closely with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community-focused agencies. Outreach efforts included surveys including specific questions associated with coordination, invitations to community meetings and follow-up in-person interviews where appropriate.

The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the preparation of the 2024-2025 Action Plan with these organizations and agencies. The City will strengthen relationships and alignment among these organizations in the implementation of the NOFA process for CDBG and HOME funds and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients of CDBG and HOME funds each year.

City of Downey - 9 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

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 Los Angeles County’s homeless system of care is comprised of a network of public, private, faith-based, 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 of Downey, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. The County’s non - profit community plays a key role in the current Continuum of Care (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 Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (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. The City provided a detailed questionnaire to LAHSA to identify the CoC’s perceived needs in the county and its objectives to address the needs of different homeless persons populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth and persons at risk of homelessness. Following the delivery and response to this questionnaire, the City followed up with the CoC to clarify existing needs and objectives and understand opportunities for collaboration and coordination during the 5-year planning process.

Coordination to address homelessness — including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth — is guided by the CoC. All service providers within the CoC have the ability to refer people with varying needs to the appropriate service provider(s) in their area.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS
In the development of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City of Downey consulted 53 housing, social service and other entities involved in housing, community and economic development in the City and throughout the region to obtain valuable information on the priority needs in Downey and how CDBG, HOME and other resources should be invested to provide decent affordable ho using, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the lead agency of the Continuum of Care (CoC), was consulted directly by telephone and email to discuss performance standards, outcomes, and policies and procedures for HMIS. Table 3 provides a listing of the entities consulted as part of this planning process.

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 monitors CoC policy making to ensure that local efforts correspond to changes in the regional approach to addressing the needs of homeless and low-income people. Further, the Community Development Department works with subrecipients of CDBG and HOME funds to ensure a coordinated effort among service agencies in the region to address the needs of Downey 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 live-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
Throughout the City of Downey, residents have consistent and multiple options to access broadband, high- speed internet offered by internet service providers such as Spectrum, Fontier, & T-Mobile. For broadband download speeds of 25 megabytes per second (mbps), 100% of residents are serviced by at least three internet service providers. According to broadbandnow, the average download speed in Downey is 100 mbps which is faster than the average internet speed in California.

Downey complies with HUD’s Narrowing the Digital Divide Through Installation of Broadband Infrastructure in HUD-Funded New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation of Multifamily Rental Housing (81 FR 92626) rule (effective January 19, 2017). Through this rule, all new HUD-funded multi-family construction or substantial rehabilitation has included broadband infrastructure including cables, fiber optics, wiring and wireless connectivity to ensure that each unit has the infrastructure to achieve at least 25 mbps download and 3 mbps upload speeds.

Resilience
the City compiled a qualified team with various expertise, including risk management, public safety and health, engineering and public works, water infrastructure, and emergency response agencies to participate on a Steering Committee to guide the development of the City’s comprehensive Hazard Mitigation Plan. In addition, the Steering Committee solicited public involvement throughout the planning process, including the release of a public survey through the City’s website and social media platforms, allowing the public to comment during the drafting stage, and making the draft Plan available to allow the public to comment on its content. Chapter 1: Planning Process contains descriptions of the Planning process, including information on the Steering Committee and public involvement.

As part of the development process, Plan goals and objectives were revalidated to provide a framework for mitigating hazards and proposing potential mitigation actions. The goals are consistent with the California State Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Los Angeles County Hazard Mitigation Plan and were developed by the Steering Committee. The City’s overall Plan goals are to:

• Protect Life, Property, and Commerce
• Promote Public Awareness of the Vulnerability to Hazardous Events and Ongoing Mitigation Strategies
• Preserve the Environment
• Promote Community-wide Involvement with Hazard Mitigation • Increase the Capacity of Emergency Operational Functionality

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation The City established and followed a process for the development of this five-year Consolidated Plan that included broad participation from the community. These activities were coordinated and implemented by the Downey Community Development Department. To assist in the identification of priority needs in the City, a survey was prepared and distributed to residents of the City to solicit resident input in the prioritization of needs related to community services, community facilities, infrastructure, neighborhood services, special needs services, businesses and jobs, and housing. The surveys were available online and also were made available at various public facilities.

Four community meetings to discuss the housing and community development needs in Downey were held on the following dates and locations:

Community Meeting Dates Location
February 12, 2020; 2:00 pm Stay Art Gallery
February 12, 2020; 6:00 pm Columbia Memorial Space Center February 22, 2020; 10:00 am Barbara J. Riley Community Center February 27, 2020; 6:00 pm Barbara J. Riley Community Center

At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low- and moderate-income residents, members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved.

In the preparation of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City followed the process established for citizen participation set forth in the Citizen Participation Plan. To promote greater public accessibility to program documents, the Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated Plan, Action Plans, CAPERs and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice are posted on the City website at: https://www.downeyca.org

Table 4 – Citizen Participation Outreach

City of Downey - 36 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The projected and activities included in the 2024-2025 Action Plan are based on resources that are reasonably anticipated to be available to the City from federal, state, local and private sources from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. The actual resources available to support activities during the implementation of this Annual Plan may vary significantly due to factors outside of the City’s control. For example, HUD formula grant allocations are subject to change each year based on a number of factors such as the amount of the national appropriation, changes in ACS population data applied to the CPD grant formulas, statutory changes to the CPD grant formulas, the addition or removal of entitlements receiving a particular CPD grant and the availability of reallocated funds. Additionally, state, local and private resources will vary significantly depending on the economic conditions.

For the 2024-2025 Program Year, the City has been informed by HUD that it will receive $1,017,976 of CDBG funds and $417,338 of HOME funds from HUD. When these amounts are combined with prior year and program income resources available for inclusion in the 2024-2025 Action Plan, the City anticipates the availability of approximately $9.5 million of CDBG and HOME funds over the five-year period of the Consolidated Plan beginning July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2025.

At the time the public review period began, HUD had not yet released the 2024 -2025 Annual Allocations.

For this reason, HUD advised the City to prepare this draft document utilizing the current year annual allocation and include language detailing the methodology by which the City would reallocate funds should the 2024-2025 annual allocation increase or decrease.

City of Downey - 37 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

o Funding levels for the public service activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024- 2025 Action Plan.
o Section 108 Loan Repayment will be based on amortization schedule. o Balance of funds will be deducted from the City’s CDBG funded Home Improvement Program activity
• Should the HOME allocation be greater than $481,259:
o The HOME Administration budget will be increased to be compliant with the 10% cap for administrative activities.
o The CHDO activity budget will be increased to be compliant with the 15% set -aside requirement.
o Balance of funds will be added to the City’s HOME funded Housing Rehabilitation Program. • Should the HOME allocation be less than $481,259:
o The HOME Administration budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 10% cap for administrative activities.
o The CHDO activity budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 15% set -aside requirement.
o Balance of funds will be added to the City’s HOME funded Housing Rehabilitation Program.

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table

City of Downey - 39 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

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, Downey needs to leverage its CDBG and HOME entitlement grants with a variety of funding resources including but not limited to those listed below in order to maximize the effectiveness of available funds.

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 County CoC
• Housing Authority of County of Los Angeles County (HACoLA) • Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA)
Private Resources
• Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP) • Community Reinvestment Act Programs
• United Way Funding
• Private Contributions
HOME Matching Requirements
HUD requires HOME recipients (PJ’s) to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.222, PJ’s satisfying the distress criteria established by the HOME Program regulations are provided a match reduction. The match reductions are granted due to fiscal distress, severe fiscal distress, and Presidential disaster declarations. For those PJs with both fiscal distress and Presidential disaster match reductions, the PJ may take the higher match reduction for the current fiscal year.

When a local jurisdiction meets one of the distress criteria, it is determined to be in fiscal distress and receives a 50 percent reduction of match. If a local jurisdiction satisfies both of the distress criteria, it is determined to be in severe fiscal distress and receives a 100 percent reduction of match. The City of Downey does not qualify for the match reduction from HUD.

City of Downey - 40 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

The City of Downey leverages HOME funds with other local and private non-federal resources in order to meet its HOME program 25 percent matching requirement. Eligible forms of HOME match are documented by the City and reported to HUD as part of the CAPER each year.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
Currently no publicly owned land or property is available.

The elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This negatively impacted affordable housing and residential investment. While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies may be utilized today, the available resources for affordable housing are scarce. Land or property necessary to address the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan would need to be acquired using HUD grant funds or other resources.

Discussion
The City will utilize approximately $2.9 million of CDBG, and HOME funds during the 2024-2025 Annual Plan period to increase the supply of affordable housing, preserve existing housing that is affordable to its occupants, provide public services to low- and moderate-income residents including those with special needs, address homelessness through homeless rental assistance, and improve public facilities to provide a suitable and more accessible living environment for all residents, including residents with disabilities.

AP-35 Projects – 91.220(d)
Introduction
To address the high priority needs identified in the Strategic Plan to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City of Downey will invest CDBG and HOME funds in projects that provide fair housing services, provide public services to low- and moderate-income residents, preserve exiting housing units, as well as develop affordable housing. Together, these projects will address the housing, community and economic development needs of Downey residents-particularly those residents residing in the low- and moderate- income areas.

Table 7 - Project Information

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its CDBG funds (excluding Section 108 loan repayment and CDBG administration) as well as HOME funds for 2024-2025 projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people. Due to the nature of the projects and activities to be undertaken, investments in projects concerning Economic Development may be limited to the CDBG low- and moderate- income areas while other projects and activities benefit low- and moderate-income limited clientele and are available citywide.

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 through the 2024-2025 Action Plan in projects that preserve the supply of affordable housing and projects that provide public services to low- and moderate-income people and those that are at-risk of becoming homeless.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low -income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
The City of Downey’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan did not identify specific areas of low-income and minority concentration. All CDBG funds will be directed toward activities benefitting low- and moderate- income residents citywide. As described in the Strategic Plan, the city will prioritize key neighborhood services (code enforcement) in low- and moderate-income areas to maintain housing stock in those neighborhoods.

Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
Citywide 59%
Low-Moderate-Income Areas 41%
Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Code enforcement activities will be targeted in low- and moderate-income areas to maintain the housing stock in those areas. Low and moderate-income areas will also be considered for other public services and housing assistance programs.

Discussion
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG and HOME investments for program year 2024-2025 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people citywide.

City of Downey - 49 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
Two high priority affordable housing needs are identified in the 2024-2025 Annual Plan and two Strategic Plan goals are established to provide the framework necessary to invest CDBG and HOME funds to address the affordable housing needs of the City.

Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing
Based on evaluation of ACS and CHAS data, there is a high need for housing units affordable for households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. Of the households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City, 11,477 are cost burdened households—meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing.

Additionally, 4,300 of the cost burdened households are considered severely cost burdened households — meaning that they pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Of the 6,314 severely cost burdened households, 4,059 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 3,765 households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless.

Preserve the Supply of Affordable Housing
As the City's housing stock ages, a growing percentage of housing units may need rehabilitation to allow them to remain safe and habitable. The situation is of particular concern for low- and moderate-income homeowners who are generally not in a financial position to properly maintain their homes.

The age and condition of Downey’s housing stock is an important indicator of potential rehabilitation needs.

Commonly, housing over 30 years of age needs some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work and plumbing systems. Housing over 15 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating / air-conditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing fixtures.

According to CHAS data showing the year that housing units were built categorized by owner and renter tenure:
• 14,710 or 89 percent of the 16,615 owner-occupied housing units in Downey were built 40 or more years ago (built prior to 1980)
• 1,310 or 8 percent of the 16,615 owner-occupied housing units in Downey were built between 20 and 39 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999)
• 13,395 or 83 percent of the 16,119 renter-occupied housing units in Downey were built 40 or more years ago (built prior to 1980)
• 2,415 or 15 percent of the 16,119 renter-occupied housing units in Downey were built between 20 and 39 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999)

City of Downey - 50 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and moderate- income households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate-income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities provide that all economic segments of the community have the means to ensure that their property meets local standards and that all Downey residents have the opportunity to live in decent housing.

Discussion
The Strategic Plan identifies a high priority need to expand the supply of affordable housing and a high priority need to preserve the supply of affordable housing. During the 2024-2025 program year, the City of Downey will invest CDBG and HOME funds in an effort to preserve fifty (50) owner-occupied housing units through the City of Downey’s Housing Rehabilitation Program and ten (10) low-to-moderate income persons with the rental assistance program.

According to the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) program regulations, HOME -assisted ownership housing must be modest housing with a maximum purchase price (for homeownership programs) or after- rehabilitation property value (for rehabilitation programs) that does not exceed 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area as published by HUD or as determined by the Participating Jurisdiction (City of Downey) in accordance with 24 CFR 92.254(a)(2)(iii).

In accordance with the procedures delineated at 24 CFR 92.254(a)(2)(iii), an analysis was updated to establish a local 95 percent of the median area purchase price limit for existing single-family residences and existing condominiums given the current HUD-published value for existing 1-unit homes in Los Angeles County is lower than the median existing single family and existing condominium residential purchase prices in the City of Downey and serves as a potential barrier to program participation.

City of Downey - 51 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

Based on data derived from the ParcelQuest Appraise covering a 6 -month period between April 30, 2023, and October 31, 2023, the 95 percent of median purchase price limits were determined to be $836,000 for single family residences and $498,750 for Condominiums. (See Appendix B) The updated 95% of Median Price values will allow the City to continue the use HOME funds to assist program participants in a manner consistent with HOME program requirements. For any other housing type not listed above, the City will use the current effective values published by HUD. This analysis is submitted with the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendment in accord with 24 CFR 92.254(a)(2)(iii).

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Downey Housing Authority was formed by the City Council on October 22, 1974, under provisions of State Law. The Downey Housing Authority is responsible for the administration of providing affordable housing in the City. The Downey Housing Authority does not administer Section 8 and does not own HUD Public Housing; however, the City is within the service area of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) for the purposes of Section 8 and Public Housing.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing During the 2024-2025 program year, LACDA will continue providing housing and public services to existing residents of the City of Downey. LACDA takes in feedback of residents collected through resident surveys distributed throughout the City of Downey to improve services.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
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 with translation services available on request. Community meetings in target areas were hosted with copies of the Consolidated Plan draft being available in these areas. A public hearing is conducted to accept public comments on the draft plan before its approval and submittal to H UD. 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.

If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
Not applicable. LACDA is designated as a High Performing PHA.

Discussion
LACDA is well-positioned to continue providing Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in the City of Downey and throughout Los Angeles County.

City of Downey - 53 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
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 community-based organizations and faith-based groups. Consistent with this approach, the City of Downey supports the efforts of The Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA), County Continuum of Care (CoC), and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout Los Angeles County. In alignment with this strategy, the City will use HOME funds to support a local service provider to implement the Homeless Rental Assistance Program to prevent homelessness.

The City will invest CDBG and HOME funds during the 2024-2025 program year to address high priority needs identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan including preventing homelessness and providing public services to special needs populations.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The CoC and its partner agencies will continue to provide a continuum of programs ranging from outreach, access centers, emergency shelters, safe havens, transitional and permanent housing, and prevention.

More specifically, LAHSA, the County’s CoC, will increase efforts in 2024-2025 to add emergency and transitional shelter housing units through expedited construction or rehabilitation of facilities to accommodate homeless persons.

The City of Downey, through coordination with the CoC and a network of homeless service providers, supports this continuum of services to address homelessness including, but not limited to, homelessness prevention programs, emergency shelter programs, and transitional housing. In 2024-2025, in conjunction with the Whole Child, the City will use its 2024-2025 HOME funds to support rental assistance services for the homeless that provide critical rental assistance for unsheltered persons.

Specifically, to reduce and end homelessness, the City of Downey will provide HOME funds to the following activities:
• Homeless Rental Assistance Program (10 people)
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City supports local agencies that provide emergency rental assistance and transitional housing needs for homeless or those at risk of becoming homeless. To address the shelter needs of homeless persons, the City supports the Whole Child for the Homeless that provides rental assistance for families at risk of homelessness. The Whole Child serves approximately 10 unduplicated people.

City of Downey - 54 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

Lastly, the City of Downey also supports the efforts of the Los Angeles County Continuum of Care (CoC) and its member organizations that address homelessness.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again To address the needs of homeless families, families with children, veterans and their families, the City supports the Whole Child, which provides rental housing assistance to families at risk of homelessness. Each year, The Whole Child serves approximately 10 unduplicated people through its rental assistance program.

When paired with financial counseling, career coaching and other available case management services, the agency makes certain that families are ready to succeed in their transition to permanent housing. The City will also support the Veteran Employment Support Training Program which aims to provide 50 low-income veterans with workforce development and training services. The program also focuses on crisis management and aligns with broader homelessness prevention strategies to improve veterans' quality of life.

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 The Los Angeles County CoC Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness included a goal to establish countywide protocols and procedures to prevent people from being discharged from public and private institutions of care into homelessness that will help decrease the number of persons being discharged into homelessness by at least 10 percent annually. The CoC is seeking improve coordination among publicly and privately funded institutions of care and local service agencies in the County of Los Angeles in order to decrease the number of persons being discharged into homelessness annually.

Discussion
With limited CDBG and HOME resources available, the City is investing HOME funds in tenant based rental assistance activities such as the Homeless Rental Assistance Program to reduce homelessness in Downey.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing. Barriers can include land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.

Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the 2021-2029 Housing Element and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in Downey 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 dema nd 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 controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment In the development of the 2021-2029 Housing Element, the City evaluated significant public policies affecting affordable housing development such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges and growth limitations. Based on this evaluation, the City determined that it has taken all appropriate and necessary steps to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may have been a barrier to affordable housing. Moreover, the City is actively engaged with affordable housing developers concerning the siting of additional future affordable housing and ensuring that the entitlement process runs smoothly from inception to completion.

Discussion
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the Strategic Plan calls for the investment of a significant portion of CDBG and HOME funds for the development of 4 new affordable rental housing units during the five-year period of the Consolidated Plan and the rehabilitation and preservation of 100 existing affordable housing units over the next five years. Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds, the City will continue to leverage its CDBG and HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources, including land conveyed to the City for the purpose of affordable housing, to facilitate affordable housing development. This strategy will increase the supply of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing in the City of Downey.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction
The City’s planned investment of CDBG and HOME funds through the 2024-2025 Action Plan will address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, further develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved 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, and the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low-income people. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG and HOME funds through the 2024-2025 Action Plan in projects that provide grants to approximately 60 low- and moderate-income homeowners for home improvements and services that prevent homelessness.

To address underserved needs, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG and HOME investments for program year 2024-2025 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people or people presumed under HUD regulations to be low- and moderate-income.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In the implementation of the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan, the City will use CDBG and HOME funds to preserve and maintain existing affordable housing through the City of Downey Residential Rehabilitation Program that anticipates providing up to 50 grants totaling $2.5 million to low- and moderate-income owners of single-family dwellings.

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. To reduce lead-based paint hazards, the City of Downey’s Residential Rehabilitation Program will conduct lead-based paint testing and risk assessments for each property assisted that was built prior to January 1, 1978 and will incorporate safe work practices or abatement into the scope of work as required to reduce lead-based paint hazards in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG and HOME activities meeting the goals established in the 2024-2025 Annual Plan - Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty-level families by:
• Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate- income households;
• Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate

City of Downey - 57 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

homelessness;
• Supporting housing preservation programs that assure low income households have a safe, decent and appropriate place to live;
• Supporting public services for low- and moderate-income residents including those with special needs and those at-risk of homelessness offered by nonprofit organizations receiving CDBG and HOME funds; and
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, provide pathways out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally 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 transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence and menta l illness.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional delivery system in Downey is high-functioning and collaborative — particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable community-based organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. Affordable housing development and preservation activities will be carried out by the Housing Division of the Community Development Department in partnership with housing developers and contractors. Public service activities will be carried out by nonprofit organizations and City Departments to achieve the Strategic Plan goals. The Housing Division will work with other departments and with contractors to implement public facility improvement projects.

One of the ways the City is developing and expanding institutional structure to meet underserved needs is by funding a wide variety of services targeted to youth, seniors, special needs populations and individuals or families at risk of homelessness with CDBG public service funds and HOME funds.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will continue consulting with and inviting 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 Downey.

Discussion
In the implementation of the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME resources 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.

AVISO DE AUDIENCIA PÚBLICA

Y PERIODO DE COMENTARIOS

PROGRAMAS FEDERALES DE CDBG Y HOME

Por la presente se notica que se llevará a cabo una audiencia pública ante el Ayuntamiento de Downey, el 28 de Mayo de 2024 a las 6:30 p.m. en las Cámaras del Consejo del Ayuntamiento de Downey, 11111 Brookshire Avenue, Downey, California.

UU. (HUD), que describe proyectos y actividades que la Ciudad de Downey nanciará bajo las subvenciónes federales conocidas como bloque para el desarrollo comunitario (CDBG) y asociaciones de inversión local (HOME). El Plan de Acción propuesto incluye una
distribución recomendada de los fondos federales, la solicitud requerida para las subvenciones de HUD y una discusión de las acciones que la Ciudad emprenderá durante el año del programa con respecto a las iniciativas para personas sin hogar y contra la pobreza.

Durante el siguiente año programático, se calcula que la ciudad de Downey recibirá $1,453,683 de nuevas subvenciones en virtud de los programas federales de la Subvención Global para el Desarrollo Comunitario (Community Development Block Grant, CDBG) y C A R T (0 )

1 HOME Program 95 Percent Homeownership
Value Limit Analysis per 24 CFR 92.254
Prepared April 28, 2024
According to the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) program regulations, HOME-assisted ownership housing must be modest housing with a maximum purchase price (for homeownership programs) or after-rehabilitation property value (for rehabilitation programs) that does not exceed 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area as published by HUD or as determined by the Participating Jurisdiction (City of Downey) in accordance with 24 CFR

92.254(a)(2)(iii).

The current HUD-published value for existing 1-unit homes in Los Angeles County is lower than the median existing single family and existing condominium residential purchase prices in City of Downey and serves as a potential barrier to program participation.

In accordance with the procedures delineated at 24 CFR 92.254(a)(2)(iii), an analysis was performed to establish a local 95 percent of the median area purchase price limit for existing single-family residences and existing condominiums.

Based on data derived from the ParcelQuest Appraise covering a 3-month period between January 28, 2024, and April 28, 2024, the following 95 percent of median purchase price limits were determined:

Housing Type Number of Sales Median Price 95% of Median Price Detached Single
Family 37 $935,000 $888,250
Condominium 8 $550,000 $522,500
The 95% of Median Price values shown in the table above will allow the City to use HOME funds to assist program participants in a manner consistent with HOME program requirements. For any other housing type not listed above, the City will use the current effective values published by HUD. This analysis is submitted with the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan in accord with 24 CFR 92.254(a)(2)(iii).
