CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.

91.520(a)

The 2025-2026 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the City of Fontana’s report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) describing the use of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. The CAPER reports on the first program year of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan period, covering July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

The City receives CDBG, HOME and ESG funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, implements projects and awards grants and loans to individual households and nonprofit, for-profit or public organizations for projects in furtherance of the adopted Consolidated Plan. The activities reported in this CAPER were determined and planned in the City’s 2025 -2026 Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan was approved at a Public Hearing on March 25, 2025.

For the 2025-2026 program year, the City received $1,942,933 of CDBG funds; $588,015.66 of HOME funds; and $172,779 in ESG funds . In FY2021 the City received $2,633,568 of HOME ARP funds and in FY2025 the City continued to identify next steps for implementation.

The investment of these funds 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 low- and moderate-income households with the services which follow:
• Fair Housing services to 78 individuals
• Public Safety services to 12,845 LMI persons, 20,735 total persons • Recreational scholarships to 169 individuals
• Acquisition and rehab of 3 housing units
• Rehab of 20 homeowner housing units
• Assistance to 15 people experiencing homelessness
Tables 1 – 3 provide a summary of the five- year and one-year accomplishments for the period ending June 30, 2026, arranged by each of the Strategic Plan Goals included in the 202 5-2029 Strategic Plan of the Consolidated Plan.

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.

The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan identified seven high priority goals of the city. During the 2025- 2026 program year t he city made progress toward meeting these goals . The pandemic drove down performance early in the Consolidated Planning cycle, since then annual performance has rebounded.

Preservation of the supply of affordable housing, specifically existing affordable housing stock occupied by low - and moderate-income households, was achieved through the city’s housing rehabilitation program s. In program year 202 5-2026, the housing rehabilitation program rehabilitated 20 housing units.

The city worked to expand the supply of affordable housing . In partnership with housing developers. CDBG and HOME funds may be leveraged in support of the development of new rental housing units affordable to households earning less than 30, 60, or 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), including units reserved for residents with special needs. In addition, the City may use CDBG and HOME funds to acquire and rehabilitate existing single family and multi- family housing units to increase the supply of affordable rental housing for its lower -income households. In program year 2025- 2026 the Affordable rental housing development program acquired 3 properties, which have benefitted 7 low-moderate income household. The Courtplace Apartment Project continues to make progress. It is anticipated this project will bring 11 new units of affordable housing to market 2026-2027.

Ensuring equal access to housing opportunities by affirmatively furthering fair housing choice through the provision of fair housing education, counseling, anti -discrimination, and landlord- tenant mediation services is a high priority goal for the city. In program year 2025 -2026 Inland Fair Housing & Mediation Board served 78 residents of Fontana.

Prevention and eliminat ion of homelessness is a high priority goal for the city. Fontana supports a continuum of services to prevent and eliminate homelessness. In program year 2025- 2026 emergency shelter was provided to 15 people.

Providing public services to low-income residents to prevent homelessness and ameliorate the effects of poverty is a high priority of the city. Through the 2025 public safety program CDBG funds supported the City's Multiple Enforcement Team (MET), which provided a balanced approach in traditional law enforcement services, along with conducting outreach, education and providing resources to the homeless population. The MET worked directly with the homeless to reduce crime relating to homelessness, calls for service, resources to medical professionals and city staff. There were seven 7 sworn officers assigned to the MET Unit (1 sergeant, 1 corporal and 5 officers) . This area-wide program served 12,845 LMI persons and 20,735 total persons.

The City also provided funding for the recreational scholarship program which benefited 169 low- income individuals.

Improving city public facilities and infrastructure to benefit low - and moderate- income residents or those presumed under HUD regulations to be low - and moderate-income such as the elderly and disabled adults is a high priority goal. The Acquisition / Improvement of Public Facilities project was added to the Action Plan, through a Substantial Amendment, in May 2026.

This project is still in development.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.

In planning and implementing all HUD funded activities, the City regularly works to identify and leverage other funding streams to maximize the impact of the CDBG, HOME, and ESG activities.

Cities receiving HOME Program funds are generally required to provide a HOME match of 25% of their annual allocation. During FY2023 Fontana met the criteria of a financial distressed jurisdiction and received a 50 percent reduction in match to 12.5 percent. This is the most current calculation of the reduced HOME match requirement. The ESG program requires a dollar -for- dollar match requirement. The City of Fontana requires its ESG subrecipients to meet the match requirement and the City provides match for administrative funds it expends. This is done through a mix of cash and in-kind match as allowed under 24 CFR Part 576. In accordance with State law and local priority, the City consistently looks to leverage state and locally owned property to achieve its annual goals.

Narrative Information
Table 14 includes the CDBG funded owner-occupied rehab, acquisition rehab and scholarship programs. To address what HUD defines as “worst case housing need” – low-income residents who pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs – the city added 7 units of affordable housing. Further, the City continues to pursue the development of additional low- and moderate-income housing opportunities through the CDBG, HOME and other federal and state programs.

Through all programs, the City ensures that assistance is targeted and made available to individuals experiencing disabilities to ensure they have equal access to affordable housing programs. Where possible, homeless service providers leverage County programs for supportive housing activities and refers clients to such programs.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
To address incidences of homelessness in Fontana and to prevent extremely low-income Fontana families from becoming homeless, the City places a high priority on programs that work to prevent homelessness or rapidly connect homeless individuals with housing and supportive services. To address this need, the City has supported a continuum of services in Fontana and though the San Bernardino County Continuum of Care (CoC) utilizing its ESG funds, to prevent and eliminate homelessness; including, but not limited to, Homelessness Prevention, Rapid Rehousing, and Street Outreach.

The 2025 Point-In-Time count found in San Bernardino County found1,201 people experiencing homelessness were sheltered and 2,636 were unsheltered. Approximately nine percent of the total homeless population in the County resides in Fontana. The 2025 PIT count found 36 sheltered, 57 transitionally housed, and 271 unsheltered people experiencing homelessness in Fontana.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The ultimate solution to ending homelessness is transitional and permanent housing closely aligned with supportive services that ensure housing stability can be maintained. However, because the demand for affordable housing far outpaces the region’s supply, the CoC continues to rely on its emergency and transitional housing system to address the immediate needs of San Bernardino County’s homeless population.

The City of Fontana , through its ESG allocation, funded the Water of Life Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Programs. In addition, the City supported the efforts of the San Bernardino County Continuum of Care (CoC) and its member organizations that address homelessness.

Helping low -income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low -income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after 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); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
During Program Year 2025-2026 the City connected chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth with available resources through the San Bernardino County CoC, which is comprised of a network of public, private, faith-based, for-profit, and non-profit service providers who utilize several federal,

City of Fontana 2025-2026 CAPER 17
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
state and local resources to provide services for homeless people. The goal was to help unsheltered homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units.

The City provided ESG funds to Water of Life to rapidly rehouse families experiencing homelessness and to prevent individuals and families who are at risk of homelessness from experiencing it. This assistance helped extremely low-income individuals and families who were currently housed but faced circumstances beyond their control that made it infeasible to stay current on their rent.

To augment ESG-funded homelessness services, the city secured competitively awarded State Homekey grants and spends State Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds . These sources fund rehab, operation, and services, including case management for emergency shelter, transitional, and permanent housing. Additionally, the City has formed the Community Outreach and Support Team (COAST) in partnership with the San Bernardino County’s Department of Behavioral Health and the San Bernardino Fire Department. This unit provides mental health services to the hom eless population out in the field through crisis intervention, c ommunity activities, and providing resources to those in need. This partnership expedites the process and services in providing much-needed mental health to the homeless population.

The City of Fontana funds the Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board to provide fair housing, tenant/landlord mediation and legal services for residents through attorney consultations and preparation of legal documents for the residents to represent themselves in family law and landlord/tenant actions. Some of these services are provided to prevent undue evictions that could lead to homelessness.

The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino provides Section 8 rental assistance to extremely low- and very low -income households located within the City limits. The Section 8 program gives priority to households that are at risk of becoming homeless or currently residing in inadequate housing.

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 peri od 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 The San Bernardino County CoC Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness included a goal to more rapidly identify and assess people experiencing homelessness. The CoC is working with 2 -1-1 to create a Coordinated Entry System (CES) for persons at risk or experienc ing homelessness within the CoC. The activities include street outreach, a universal assessment, intake, referrals and transportation to resources. The CES will include a database, housed in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), using real-time data entry to match clients to

appropriate service providers. Collectively these strategies minimize duplication of effort and better connect the most vulnerable individuals and families, chronically homeless, and people at risk of becoming homeless to appropriate resources.

Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City of Fontana Housing Authority was formed in 1994 under State of California Housing Authority Law to actively improve existing neighborhoods and develop affordable housing opportunities using local, state and federal resources. The Fontana Housing A uthority does not administer a Section 8 Program and does not own HUD Public Housing; however, the City is within the service area of the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) for the purposes of Section 8 and Public Housing.

HACSB primarily operates as a voucher-based housing authority, owning only one unit of public housing. As of December 2025 , HACSB offered the following types and quantities of housing vouchers:
- 7,508 Tenant-Based Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV)
- 1,129 Project-Based HCVs
- 1,113 Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) HCVs
- 118 Family Unification Special Purpose Voucher (SPV)
- 309 Mainstream SPVs
- 420 Veteran Assistance Supportive Housing (VASH) SPVs - 68 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS vouchers - 460 Emergency Housing Vouchers
- 246 Continuum of Care vouchers
- 8 master leasing projects
As of December 2025 , a total of 745 housing vouchers of all types were in use throughout Fontana.

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
HACSB has continued to encourage residents to be actively involved in the community and in the management of public housing developments through resident councils and numerous opportunities for feedback such as community meetings and surveys. HACSB and the City of Fontana also continue to actively encourage and promote public housing residents to explore homeownership opportunities and programs through HACSB’s Homeownership Assistance Program targeted at current Public Housing Authority (PHA) residents. HACSB also encourages and supports residents in participating in homebuyer counseling programs and recommends residents use the family self-sufficiency escrow account to save money towards homeownership.

Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
Not applicable. HACSB is considered a High Performing PHA.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken 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. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as 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.

The primary barriers to affordable housing in Fontana continue to be housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply and insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.

To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the Strategic Plan of the 20 25-2029 Consolidated Plan called for the investment of a significant portion of CDBG and HOME funds for the construction of 11 new affordable rental housing units, 12 rental units acquired and rehabbed and the preservation of 50 existing affordable housing units. During the first program year of this Consolidated Plan cycle 2025-2026, 3 units have been acquired and rehabilitated and 20 affordable housing units have been preserved.

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) 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, and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City invested CDBG and ESG funds in Program Year 2025-2026 in projects that provided loans to low - and moderate -income homeowners for home repair projects and projects that prevent and shorten periods of homelessness.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) 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 rehabilitation of housing units built prior to January 1, 1978 included a lead-based paint testing and risk assessment process. Whe n lead-based paint wa s identified, the City ensured that developers and contractors incorporate safe -work practices and depending on the level of assistance, abate the lead-based paint as part of the scope of work to effectively reduce lead-based paint hazards to children in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City’s CDBG and ESG funds were used to maintain safe and adequate housing for many residents in program year 2025 . In addition to these resources , mainstream state and federal resources also contributed 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 provided individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, child- care 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 mental illness.

In fiscal year 2023 the City was awarded a grant from HUD’s Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes. The resulting Lead Hazard Reduction Program helps to prevent childhood lead poisoning and unsafe lead conditions by eliminating lead and other hazards (e.g., cracking paint, contaminated soil) in rental and owner -occupied properties where households with low ‐income reside.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The institutional delivery system in Fontana is high-functioning and collaborative—particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable nonprofit organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. Strong City departments anchor the administration of HUD grant programs and the housing, community and economic development activities that are implemented by the City.

To support and enhance the existing institutional structure, the City of Fontana continued to collaborate with affordable housing developers and nonprofit agencies receiving CDBG and ESG funds through the 2025-2026 Action Plan to ensure that the needs of low- and moderate-income residents were met as envisioned within the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City continued consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive ser vices to low- and moderate- income residents in Fontana—particularly in the low-and moderate-income areas.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdiction’s analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) During Program Year 2025-2026, the City of Fontana Housing Department and the Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board affirmatively furthered fair housing choice through education and direct assistance.

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
To ensure CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds are used efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulations, the City provides technical assistance and monitors the progress of subrecipients throughout the program year.

The City provides technical assistance to its departments, agencies, and subrecipients receiving CDBG, HOME and ESG funding. Following approval of the Annual Action Plan, City staff conduct detailed reviews of program regulations with subrecipients and City d epartments. This process provides useful forms and resources for documenting compliance, as well as reviewing the City’s compliance procedures and requirements. Additionally, individualized technical assistance is provided on an as-needed basis throughout the program year.

All activities undergo monitoring, beginning with a detailed review upon receipt of an application to assess eligibility, conformance with a National Objective, and alignment with a Plan goal. This review also examines the proposed use of funds, eligibility of the service area, eligibility of the intended beneficiaries, and likelihood of compliance with other federal requirements.

Subrecipients are required to submit an audit and other documentation to establish their capacity.

Any findings noted in the audit are reviewed with the applicant. Eligible applications are then considered for funding. Once funded, desk monitoring includes ongoing review of required quarterly performance reports. For CDBG public service and ESG activities, on-site monitoring is conducted at least once every two years to ensure compliance. These are fiscal and programmatic reviews of the subrecipient’s activities to determine compliance with the program regulations and City contract.

Following the monitoring visit, a written report is provided delineating the results of the review and any findings of non -compliance, and required corrective action. Subrecipients and City departments typically have 30 days to provide the City with corrective actions taken address ing any noted findings. Individualized technical assistance is provided, as noted above, when compliance concerns are identified. For CDBG capital projects, monitoring also includes compliance with regulatory agreement requirements.

For HOME funded activities, annual monitoring ensures that renter occupied units comply with household income, rent restrictions, and utility allowance requirements, pursuant to the affordability covenant. For ownership units, annual monitoring of occupancy is conducted throughout the affordability period. For the HOME -funded activities, annual monitoring is undertaken to ensure that for renter -occupied units, household income, rents and utility allowances are in compliance with applicable limits pursuant t o the affordability covenant. For ownership units, annual monitoring of occupancy is conducted throughout the affordability period.
