To ensure that the City monitors its compliance with SB 166 (No Net Loss), the City will develop a procedure to and will track:
• Unit count and income/affordability assumed on
parcels included in the sites inventory.
• Actual units constructed and income/affordability
when parcels are developed.
• Net change in capacity and summary of remaining
capacity in meeting remaining RHNA.

To ensure the City has adequate sites to accommodate any net loss of Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)
capacity due to development of RHNA sites or accessory
dwelling units (ADUs) below projections, the City shall create a No Net Loss Inventory of replacement sites within 18
months of Housing Element certification. The backup,
replacement sites in the No Net Loss Inventory will be
separate and distinct from the identified RHNA sites
inventory included in Appendix B. The No Net Loss
Inventory replacement sites are all appropriate for lowerincome development based on the criteria used for RHNA site selection. The City has begun development of this list and initial estimates include capacity for approximately 600 units, if needed.

Quantified Objective: No net loss of capacity below the RHNA requirement during the planning period.

Amend the City Code to allow triplexes, and fourplexes to be approved ministerially on corner lots with a minimum 6,000 sf lot size in the R1 and R2 zones (approximately 1,106 lots) so long as the project complies with objective design standards.

This Program provides more flexibility than SB 9, by allowing triplexes or fourplexes, in lieu of a duplex with an ADU and a junior ADU. This program will also encourage the
development of missing middle housing throughout the
City, including high-resource areas primarily comprising detached single-family residences.

Update the City’s SB 9 policy and website to reflect the changes allowed under this program. Create an
informational and promotional pamphlet regarding
opportunities to develop triplexes and fourplexes on corner lots in R1 and R2 zones. Provide the pamphlet online, at City Hall, and at informational booths where housing resources are provided (see Program G - 5).

Housing Policy
Conduct an inclusionary housing feasibility study to identify appropriate inclusionary requirements that will not

Policy as a benchmark for developing the inclusionary
requirements (e.g., resale controls, minimum term [years of affordability], minimum percentage of units that must be restricted as affordable, minimum percentage within each affordability category).

Develop an affordable housing policy to establish
inclusionary housing requirements so that specified new developments reserve a percentage of the total units for lower- and moderate-income households or pay an in-lieu of housing fee for projects below the threshold for
inclusionary housing, such as smaller projects that cannot feasibly construct affordable housing. The inclusionary housing ordinance will include a requirement that the
developer market the below market-rate units and
accessible/adaptable units.

Quantified Objective: Increased production of affordable housing within the City, including housing choice and
mobility for lower-income households. Prioritize use of inlieu fees to develop affordable housing options in higher resource areas of the City.

Continue to provide regular monitoring of deed-restricted units that have the potential of converting to market rate.

The City currently contracts with HouseKeys to serve as the Below Market Rate (BMR) Program Administrator of the
City’s below market-rate homeownership and rental
property program. The BMR Program Administrator will
continue to monitor and evaluate the City's current multifamily affordable housing stock to determine if any developments are at risk of conversion.

Together with the BMR Program Administrator, the City will implement strategies to preserve projects identified as being at risk of converting to market-rate housing.

Strategies include:
• Monitoring affordable housing term expiration
status annually.
• Notifying property owners annually about
compliance with the extended noticing
requirement (three year, one-year, and six-month
Notice of Intent) under state law.
• Including preservation as an eligible use in Notices
of Funding Availability.
• If below market-rate units appear to be at risk of
conversion, work with qualified operators, the
California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD), and the property owners to
preserve the housing for lower-income
households.
• Biennial contact with property owners of

information on unhoused resources and efforts.
• Development of printed collateral for
distribution at City Hall and by code
enforcement officers in the field.

the City will develop a Housing Help Center
webpage to provide a centralized resource for
tenants and landlords to receive information on
local laws, assistance to apply for rent relief, and
legal aid. This webpage will consolidate existing
information on the City’s website with additional
information provided by local service providers to
best serve the needs of the Gilroy community.

▪ Persons with mental health disorders.
▪ High end housing
▪ We are overpopulated and not enough community infrastructure and commercial retail space is available. Should be spending money to fix the roads and cleanup the town. Make the city and downtown area more representable, modern and safe… rather than continuing to build home and low income housing. Gilroy needs to establish a worth and community value, not just cram everyone into the city and let it go downhill ▪ I am not qualified to accurately answer this question ▪ disabled mental health
▪ Homeless
▪ Homelessness doesn't discriminate. Homelessness occurs within every group. ▪ Middle income families
▪ People who already live here

▪ Family making less than 80,000

▪ Builder / developer price gouging

▪ Affordable rent.
▪ No infrastructure to support
▪ Section 8
▪ Over developing in areas not intended. Housing causing traffic congestions ▪ Home prices

▪ city services and infrastructure stretched with current housing being built ▪ parking
▪ Irresponsible development outpacing water and services budget supply ▪ substance abuse, mental health issues
▪ no opinion
▪ Unrealistic costs. Cost of housing compared to income. ▪ poorly planned neighborhoods
▪ Landlords that don't follow laws
▪ Single story
▪ Homeless encampments
▪ Lack of funding from the State for Section 8
▪ Dining/entertainment for residents
▪ Too many homes are being built in the city and we are getting overpopulated. But only is there too many homes being built causing overpopulation and causing major traffic, it enough retail and commercial areas/plazas and schools are being built to compensate for the increasing population. Too much new homes being built and too much low income housing being built. Too
▪ Literally all those plus more. I can be considered to "make enough" but that doesn't reflect the responsibilities or hardships we are all going thru and I've had to choose do I pay rent or pay my cell phone bill or put food on the table for my dying grandparents. rent prices are terrible and can be increased at anytime and if u fight about it u lose your home ▪ No help for domestic violence victims with kids
▪ Too many affordable housing units being built
▪ Renting with no dogs
▪ No enough infrastructure to support new and existing housing ▪ lack of creative solution
▪ Too many condos/apts/townhomes being built
▪ South Gilroy housing units explosive growth is straining the necessary retail support needs for grocery and pharmacy needs to support all the new market rate housing coming on line not to mention the infrastructure of roads, water, sewer and electrical grids. We continue to experience PG & E outages because of the service grid not keeping up with expansion ▪ Lack of affordable housing
▪ insufficient planning for current and future water scarcity ▪ Allowing housing with little or no open space. Inadequate roads/highway to support the number of cars already on the road.
▪ Lack of ELI affordable housing
▪ Infrastructure
▪ Education and resources.
▪ Shopping center / grocery stores
▪ Undocumented folks who can’t get a job
▪ We need affordable housing - not selling the dream of homeownership. The developers are using loopholes to overabundance us with housing in categories well above the 2040 quotas by throwing in a few token BMR units so the development can't be denied. They should NOT be able to build in categories above quota when the other categories are under 100%.
▪ Inadequate water supply; Deficit growth with housing boom; Loss of open space and farm land ▪ Low income housing is abused by many people who abuse the system & have no intention in finding employment. Many of these same people bring crime into our neighborhoods and make it dangerous for everyone else living in the city. I think low income housing should be available to people who are carefully screened to verify they don’t have a history of living in low income housing. They should only be allowed 6 months to 1 year and then be off the system. There are too many jobs available to be unemployed or underemployed. People who abuse the system take away from people who actually need the assistance and do not want to stay in assistance.

▪ Perhaps landowners of the Outlets and other shopping centers would be willing to redesign the buildings to include living spaces, since retail is struggling these days. They would have to hire an architect, so that the redesign looks inviting. This would benefit the businesses as well, since residents would have an easy walk to shopping. ▪ Low income or free help for tenants
▪ incentives' for ADU's
▪ Streamline permitting process for building ADUs
▪ More financial help with rent for low income families ▪ Invest in the community and infrastructure, not more homes. Take care of the town and existing residents, and not lure more crowds into town and have it be overwhelmed.
▪ The problem is NIMBY and as long as residents are allowed to vote on these projects. We will never reach affordable housing because it affects their assumed property values. Every California owner only cares about their property value not the status of their neighbor
▪ Help domestic violence victims with housing
▪ Better plan additional housing to be integrated with essential services like food and transit to reduce traffic congestion while also increasing housing availability.
▪ improve infrastructure
▪ Gilroy is crowded enough. We don't need more building. ▪ Stop stack-n-pack units. If Gilroy wants to grow, expand the city not put more people in a smaller space. ▪ Build low-cost/high density housing in areas near shopping centers/grocery stores. Building low-cost housing in areas where one would need a vehicle to get to shopping is just plain dumb and poor planning. ▪ Please do not approve anymore high density housing. We have way to many of these as is. ▪ Prevent landlords to increase rent prices
▪ Prioritize housing for the homeless
▪ permanent supportive housing in Gilroy
▪ We do not need to build housing in every plot of open land. What makes Gilroy so beautiful and what makes it stand out are the open areas that are around the city.
▪ Allow BMR owners empty nesters to rent extra rooms in their home without being penalized. Allow them to build ADUs without adding restrictions.
▪ The city needs more amenities like larger grocery stores. Morgan Hill has 3 large spacious store with 10K less in population than Gilroy. You are overcrowding the area of First Street, Santa Theresa, and Hecker Pass. Where are the amenities? ▪ smart planning
▪ Create more units and access to "truly" affordable housing, geared at ELI ▪ Education/resources for youth and young adults for homelessness prevention, and housing options from renting apartments, to roommate living, etc.
▪ Address the homeless encampments and escalating crime ▪ Housing for middle income
▪ Developers need to be required to build in the categories that have not met 2040 quotas before being allowed to build in categories that are above 100% of 2040 quotas. They need to actually focus on creating affordable housing - rentals before homeownership - before allowing developers to build homes - they don't build affordable housing as it's not as profitable as the homes for sale. They also need to be required to build adequate parking along with the developments - our situation out here at the butt end of the county and being rural has different needs than those in bigger cities - the current criteria does not fit the needs of Gilroy that most developers and some city council members are pushing for. We do not need more housing in the categories above 100% of 2040 quotas - we do need more affordable rentals. No more mega monstrosity developments until there is adequate affordable housing - then the housing developments can start up again. Why is everything geared to the developers, who already use loopholes to overabundance us with the mega monstrosities?? ▪ Attract more good jobs, not more houses!
▪ I think Gilroy has enough housing as is. I would prefer to eliminate low income housing that has a history of police involvement. I prefer larger city’s like San Jose to create additional low income housing. I left San Jose to get away from the homelessness & transient issues that run rampant in San Jose. ▪ We should not encourage the homeless to congregate in Gilroy. Living in Gilroy is not a God given right. ▪ Tiny Homes with support services
▪ Need more grocery stores and highway widening before building more houses. I have been grocery shopping in Morgan Hill. The grocery stores here are always packed, day and night. ▪ Gilroy does not need more affordable housing. If it is not affordable as is then moving to another city should be the option.

Gilroy is already too crowded and the road access has not been expanded to accommodate. None of the above programs are necessary nor will improve Gilroy.
▪ Stop building homes. We are too crowded. If you have to build single family homes not monster homes (2 stories 3000 sq feet) simple single family homes

▪ HABITAT FOR HUMANITY HOUSING
▪ give low or free help to tenants
▪ Provide incentives for developments that include units that are affordable to Extremely Low-income households ▪ Provide money to Infrastructure and planning BEFORE adding any housing ▪ Prevent overcrowding and stop building new affordable housing complexes where they are squeezed in and increase crime in a relatively safe area.
▪ We need to invest in the value of our city and make it better and cleaner. More retail businesses and better quality educational system. Good rated schools
▪ Help CURRENT RESIDENTS WITH PROSPECTIVE HOUSING COSTS. ▪ Get out of CA housing plan and determine city's own future. We need to remain a community, not become another suburb of San Jose
▪ Allow BMR owners that are now empty nesters to rent extra rooms in their home without being penalized. A lot of them have big yards to build ADUs.
▪ Increase ELI affordable housing
▪ Extremely low-income need truly affordable rents
▪ Add amnesties that compensate all the building going on in the west side. More grocery stores. Morgan hill has well managed and clean, large grocery stores with lots of parking ▪ Support city infrastructure
▪ We need to care of those that are here, before we try to attract others to move here. ▪ We need to re-zone to incentivize dense housing near transit. ▪ Stop all single-family detached house construction immediately, and re-zone for small businesses and jobs. ▪ Please take care of the homeowners who already live in Gilroy & update the existing neighborhoods. Stop trying to bring in more low income / subsidized living, it mainly attracts the type of people who do not have anything invested in this city and when you have no skin in the game, you don’t care what your “free” home or the city looks like. ▪ Incentivize the splitting of large plots - 1 to 5 acres - into subdivisions for Miri houses for homeless. This will mix homeless with regular society rather than putting them in concentrated areas where they are pressured into continuing or starting bad choices.
▪ More lower income housing for current residents
▪ Provide enough parking for these apartments. They overflow in to the neighborhoods and detracts from the neighborhood ▪ There are many places to move that is more affordable and less crowded than Gilroy.

▪ The city of Gilroy is sprawling everywhere and it's sad to see. Gone are the nice areas around Christmas Hill Park. Filling every green space with housing is idiocy. I've seen this in city after city, most recently Morgan Hill. They built high density housing on Monterey that look like prison barracks. And what followed was a whole host of problems, gun shots all hours of the day and night, constant police calls, harassment of established single home residents, a plethora of non working street walking thugs. Morgan Hill used to have the criminal element that rented hotel rooms and worked their crimes. Now the city council decided to invite them to live in the city by building huge multi people cramped high rises. It was a bad decision by the city council, one that I would hope Gilroy would be smarter about. Lets talk about infrastructure - we don't or won't have water for increased housing. We are all cutting back drastically now! How can you allow developments to keep building without addressing the water issue. Even the water we have is polluted with high nitrates. Don't buckle under to developers and the lure of more tax dollars. You'll be spending far more in city services than you will ever gain. It's time to put out the "NO VACANCY" sign.
▪ The City must take responsibility for the fact that it’s community that is homeless is THEIR responsibility and their people.

The City needs to immediately find sites for emergency housing, tiny homes etc and stop making excuses for why they won’t. One I hear often is prioritizing parking over housing site options. We’ve done too little for too long! ▪ Without sufficient water resources, this area can't support any additional citizens ▪ More police
▪ Co-join as many programs that would help fund the housing we need ▪ Allow below-market housing by right
▪ Most housing requires 3x the rent or more which makes it difficult for people to get into and keep housing. Minimum wage is not comparable to coat of living
▪ Section 8
▪ Helping first time owners, who live and work in the town ▪ All current apartments should have ac units especially low income apartments ▪ traffic and congested street parking
▪ Again housing numbers are fine, need to build up business and downtown. Expanding faster then infrastructure sewer, water etc and PD and Fire. Let’s focus on being able to take care of what we have before expanding more. Cart behind the horse rather than ahead of it
▪ Support improvements on Monterey and build apartments / condos in the downtown area. ▪ make tiny home communities on vacant lots
▪ Stop building until we are out of the drought.
▪ Stop building, we don’t have enough resources and we are destroying the land around us! ▪ Public transportation, water shortage with increased housing ▪ There should be stricter rules, consequences, for the people who are living in our street who collect a bunch of junk. Those living conditions are a hazard to the community members who live around it to see it, smell it and live around it; putting their/families at risk. The city of Gilroy and law enforcement should be able/allowed to enforce fines, incarceration of those who are not following rules/penal codes.
▪ Stop accepting money in exchange for homeless groups to be bussed and left on our streets. Bus them back to where they came from and clean up the camps. What has happened is terrifying. ▪ In any development there should be required large open spaces for families to enjoy. The city should be having ideas about where to put more open parks for families, children to go and enjoy ▪ Stop all new housing construction. Extend recycled water to existing homes for landscape use. Subsidize grey water use for landscape. Promote creation of well-paying jobs for existing residents. ▪ how to overcome objections to changing nature of neighborhoods in line with State focus on Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
▪ Gilroy is already overcrowded. Bringing in low income housing will lower the value of the current residents who worked so hard to buy their homes.
▪ Better roads so traffic moves and you can get to and on 101 ▪ A safe parking facility as a bridge between homeless and housed ▪ Gilroy needs more amenities for all the additional housing being built. No one ever addresses this issue. There is never an answer.
▪ Single individuals or small workforce families 2-3 should have more help so they can get better jobs or just not be homeless.

It's crazy that you have to be a single no income person on this city to get any help with access to subsidies or other programs.
▪ Inclusionary housing ordinance
▪ Policies to address the needs of people with mental illness ▪ Minimize construction red tape
▪ Whatever programs the city supports, the support should be for working class families - i.e., support wage earners first.

▪ There is a need for inclusionary housing ordinances in the City of Gilroy. As far as available resources, the City does not have full-time Detox/substance abuse facilities or services (we just have a mobile unit that comes into town 1 day per week.) ▪ Down-Payment Assistance to Middle Income work force.
▪ Rent control especially for low income seniors
▪ Zoning for high density housing downtown and near Caltrain and bus lines. ▪ Consider aesthetics (like landscaping, open space, architectural beauty, comfort, and eco-intelligence) in ALL new and rejuvenated construction. Such aesthetics make for happier residents throughout the city, in addition to the individual neighborhood.
▪ Community volunteers help seniors with painting their houses, etc. ▪ Program for Single Parents & Seniors affordable housing. ▪ renters need free help dealing with landlords who are not ethical ▪ Control affordable pricing.
▪ Establish a Safe Parking Program at 8th and Alexander ▪ Sanctioned encampments land/areas for people/families who are living in vehicles/oversized/RV’s(and in transition of finding more permanent housing.)
▪ Safe parking program
▪ I think the most immediate need is for safe parking programs like the one in Morgan Hill in Gilroy ▪ Current and new affordable housing units should have an overseeing board to improve quality and safety of individuals and families living there
▪ Studies, planning, to City of Gilroy’s infrastructure is required followed by funding then changes. The city’s water, sewer, power, garbage, and school require attention. The police department needs to be increased now. The current department is useless as they make no efforts to stop crime, or murders. The downtown buildings on Monterey Rd. are substandard.

The retail and food is lost to Morgan Hill and San Jose. ▪ The city needs to stop taking cash grabs and refuse the new building of affordable housing duplexes. The city is small and already overcrowded. This needs to stop. It is entirely unfair to residents that have lived here more than a decade that now have to deal with the influx of new residents and yet no increase to general infrastructure. Where are the better roads? More schools? If you want to be greedy as a board and continue taking money grabs, at least fix the city’s infrastructure before you allow crime and overcrowding to befall us all. ▪ Put pressure on the State or County to provide more Section 8 funding in order to help more people with their rent. ▪ Slow the growth of construction like Morgan Hill does ▪ Stop building new homes and low income housing communities. We need our town to be safe and modern and be of high value. More retail spaces, shopping plazas, entertainment ▪ I have grown up and loved in Gilroy and Morgan Hill all my life. During the 2008 housing crisis I was pushed out of my home forced from Morgan Hill to Gilroy and in 2021 I was officially pushed out of Gilroy to move out of state across country to find affordable and up to code homes. It breaks my heart to leave behind my family my friends and the only place I've ever called home. My family history goes back over 120 years in Gilroy Morgan Hill and Hollister. That is my home and to struggle for years to desperately cling to something that clearly doesn't want to keep around is sad. You talk about bringing incentive programs for prospective residents but why aren't you serving the ones you have? Please put in things to do in town for families, kids, teens, and adults alike. Don't cater to the rich they have enough. ▪ More rent controlled apartments, public housing Q&A, housing workshops to prepare prospective buyers build timelines. ▪ Programs to help people apply for housing and not be discouraged ▪ Have more income based housing
▪ Please limit the number of affordable housing units being built. Gilroy has set this quota at 59%, which is much higher than the rest of Santa Clara county. Too many affordable housing units will lead to overcrowding and crime. Plus, we simply don't have the infrastructure to support an influx of new residents. A lot of the streets are single lane, which is already leading to traffic problems during peak hours.
▪ Too many low income housing will negatively affect current homeowners who have worked so hard to purchase and maintain their home. Our rights to maintain our home value need to be protected too. ▪ make tiny home communities on vacant lots
▪ I cannot stress enough the fact that the current housing being built is often far from basic things like schools, food/groceries, and good public transit. Without integrating these things into new community developments, the city will have increasingly terrible traffic and turn into a smaller version of the San Jose area, which is ridiculously congested. ▪ Gilroy doesn't need to attract more homeless.
▪ make sure people who are getting support from the county actually need it--way too much abuse of the housing program ▪ Realistic infrastructure needs for housing and business growth to support outlaying areas expansion ▪ Tenant protections against evictions that lead to more homelessness. ▪ Gated parks with cameras
▪ More options for homeless housing/encampments.

▪ Homeless programs need to be set up for our community. People are living in their cars in our neighborhood parks, on our county creeks and our city streets. It becomes a very unsafe environment for people just trying to enjoy our community.

We need to keep moving these encampments off our city and county areas so they reach out to programs being provided for them.
▪ Please no more duplexes or apartments. Gilroy has been attracting a lot of people who commit petty crimes. I think if you allow more high density housing crime will get worse. We already have more than enough people living here. Let’s instead concentrate on our homeless problem as well as use funds to spruce up the Gilroy we already have. The streets do not need anymore people on them it’s congested enough all ready. The grocery stores are always packed as well. We do need anymore housing.
▪ Cleaning up the homeless problem
▪ People with disabilities and seniors are who are on fixed incomes are being left out of the planning very often. Limited funding for rental assistance and accessing it is very difficult if you are not the agency holding the purse strings.

Undocumented workers and seniors with little income are also being left out of the equation ▪ A solid plan for housing the homeless, including a plan for the homeless with pets or those that do not want to participate and insist on living in tents
▪ Designate a staff associate to housing and funding availability from county and state programs. ▪ This City is behind in creative ways to house the homeless. Think Tiny houses, church parking spaces for families to have safe overnight stays, even if it’s their cars and have services there; etc. ▪ I believe we must address housing needs of low income, very low income, and unhoused people. I believe all other new housing should be proven sustainable before approved for building. California is facing resource scarcity issues--notably water shortages--which must be built into planning.
▪ We do not need to build housing on every open piece of land. Keep Gilroy beautiful. There is a responsible way to build homes.
▪ Allow BMR owners that are now empty nesters to rent extra rooms in their home without being penalized. A lot of the have big yards to build ADUs.
▪ Restrict the number of housing units being built. Gilroy is growing too big and a majority of its residents do not work in the area or support living here. Everyone is on the road for more than two hours to and from work in Silicon Valley. We need better transit systems and better road conditions before allowing more people to move to Gilroy and travel on an already inadequate highway system.
▪ Need more amenities. Y developing the land around the outlets with businesses, it would bring income into the city ▪ Consider impact on current residents and impact on traffic, fire and police infrastructure, water needs and environment. ▪ Infrastructure. As a member of the Gilroy community, we need to have a town where we feel comfortable in and is sustainable. Everything is crumbling around the city and why bill more when the cost to live here is not affordable.

Referencing the utilities like water garbage and PG&E. They are skyrocketing and at the same time nothing is being done to maintain these systems except increase pricing on the homeowner. Our downtown looks like shit and no one wants to visit it. We need restaurants and nice parks roads. We can’t build more housing without supporting the surrounding areas ▪ I see so many of my peers experiencing homelessness because after their parents or whomever they lived with moved away, or their loved one died, they had no idea what to do. I experienced homelessness myself as a child, again as young adult, and now live in constant fear of not having somewhere to be safe or rest my head. I don't have any kids and make less than 30, 000 year so there just isn't any resources for me. And if there are, it should be easily available information. All I see is list with apartment phone numbers. Just not enough education on this very important matter. Thankyou. ▪ Do not continue to expand Gilroy with new builds without updating our infrastructure and businesses -traffic is terrible, the houses and neighbors we do have aren’t nice, both of our major grocery stores are right next to one another, current residents need better quality of life before we grow
▪ Renters must make 3x rent amount to qualify for an apartment is impossible in most cases! Finding other ways to qualify ▪ Homes for seniors, single stories, 55+ adult communities. ▪ Coordinate county services with new affordable housing to house homeless individuals ▪ Expand our amenities on the west side. The city is forcing us to shop in Morgan hill because we have no consideration for expansion except to add more housing
▪ I get $1000 a month for disability my rent is $1000 in the trailer park I can’t make ends meet soon I will be homeless ▪ Need supervised housing for small groups of mentally ill who can't adequately care for themselves or take their medication reliably.
▪ Sports programs for the young to teenagers
▪ Don't allow apartments to be built right next to nice single family homes. ▪ Most of us moved to Gilroy for the small rural town vibe - we do not want to be the next big city with big city problems. The 2040 quotas arbitrarily assigned by the state politicians who are totally out of touch with "our “reality will double Gilroy’s population. We need to preserve the small town feel rather than give in to mass growth- we need smart growth, not overgrowth.
▪ Beautification of Old Gilroy, paving, implement Standard for apartment appearance.

▪ I'd love to see an aggressive effort to up zone our main downtown commercial areas to allow residential/mixed retail. We should build strong transit links to the job centers in Santa Clara County. ▪ Stop all single-family detached house construction immediately, and re-zone for small businesses and jobs. ▪ No new housing! We need good restaurants with outdoor seating. More grocery stores such as Whole Foods. And a downtown renovation, and we need to preserve the open space we have. No new housing projects!! ▪ Plan housing with transportation connections, plan for active transportation, consider climate change needs ▪ I wish the city would install speed bumps down high traffic roads such as Wren Ave. Drivers have no regard for the speed limit or kids playing/walking in the area. High speed drivers are a safety concern and a noise nuisance. ▪ Inclusionary ordinance
▪ There needs to be affordable and low income housing in all areas of Gilroy, not just the north area. It is like the west side is exclusive and does not allow homes in that area. For too many years Gilroy has focused affordable low income housing in North Gilroy
▪ Stop growing the city so quickly and fix the existing issues. We don’t have enough grocery stores here. We don’t have enough police force available. All this excessive building is just bringing more crime to the area. We are no longer a safe city. Have you seen all these new people drive around here like we are in a Grand Prix. These new housing are not doing anything if but making our infrastructure worse. They are not bringing new kids to schools locally because they can commute with kids. Our district is broken, work on that. We can have six Starbucks but not enough places to buy food? Focus on the city improvements first
▪ Buy the large plot on las animas and create a better tent area with drug control, security, showers and laundry ▪ Rent too high
▪ There are more affordable places to live. It isn't any city's responsibility to make their location a handout resource using hardworking taxpayers earnings.
▪ Build affordable housing in a nice community
▪ Please add Safe Park with support services
▪ It’s become increasingly difficult for just the regular service employer (truckers, utility workers, health care admins) to qualify for purchasing a home that so many have to leave the area just to have a respectable home. The lower middle class are now considered low income and there needs to be more than just one unit per housing development designated for the low income. Good people in good homes equals a good city. It’s insane that we expect everyone to make $250k to live here comfortably, we miss that small town feel.
▪ There are so many things wrong with this town. Stop building high density housing. It looks like a ghetto. The ones being built on first and Kern are going to be a nightmare. Not enough parking and the traffic lights to handle the traffic. ▪ I believe that understanding individual households and their needs is essential to gaining knowledge for the housing element of Gilroy. For instance, I am a single parent to two children. I’ve been renting for the past 6 years and make $170k a year. The rental rates are darn near worse than mortgage rates. It is not helping to provide an option of purchasing in this area. The housing crisis of cost and not even having homes that can suit people’s different family needs is unfair. Creating factory type housing of all homes bunched together is not what everyone purchasing a home wants. Preferably homes can be made with decent yard space to allow for personal gardening of produce and chickens. ▪ Speed traps or speed bumps on W Las Animas Ave. This is an accident waiting to happen. Vehicles passing through from Monterrey rd. to church (and vice versa) use this as an expressway at very high speeds. Please look into it. ▪ Do not continue to make Gilroy more over crowded than it already has become. The infrastructure to get in and out of Gilroy needs to be expanded. We do not need to make the city more appealing to increase the city population. ▪ More work to improve our downtown, more restaurants and shopping. Not everything has to be low income focused, there are a lot of middle class families that love living here and would like more amenities.

▪ Depends on affordability and income. You cannot buy or rent a Cadillac on a Chevrolet budget.

I do know that a large port ion of the Hispanic population lives east of Monterey Street and a very large portion of the white population lives west of Monterey Street. ▪ No comment
▪ More low income Mexican people live on the East side, but I think it is a result of income, not discrimination. Many Mexican people live in all parts of Gilroy.
▪ unsure
▪ No information
▪ I think Gilroy has a large Hispanic population but I think that is due to Hispanics always living here. Up until housing in areas like San Jose became unaffordable did other races start moving South. ▪ Gilroy does have a racial living divide. Although we all get along I believe, living areas are segregated. Not intentionally.

But it has never been fixed or dealt with
▪ No we have a diverse city many who have been here over 20 years ▪ Unsure
▪ Unsure
▪ Not sure
▪ Unsure
▪ Gilroy is not segregated. It merely has different neighborhoods with varying prices of homes or living accommodations.

This is how life is. If you can afford a small apartment then it will likely be located in a different area than someone who is quite wealthy living in a more expensive area. This is not complicated and should not require special programs to put all at a financially “equal" level. Handouts like affordable housing or restrictive rules will only create more financially dependent people.

▪ We need to work on transportation/commute before expanding the city. It’s ridiculous that it take 1 hour to get to work in San Jose because there is no work in town.
▪ Gilroy is the LAST affordable place in SC county. So affordability is not a issue. The issue is the city isn't doing enough to bring in high paying jobs. The only option people here have is to commute to the valley or work retail/service jobs. The city planners are too busy building low income housing, which is going to make matters worse. Bring in some industry, high tech, and other high paying jobs, and people will be able to afford the homes. That's the way to address the housing crisis, NOT more government funded programs.
▪ Lack of investment in schools in low income neighborhoods such that large differences in terms of access to technology, field trips, and other resources exist between schools in low income areas and schools in moderate to high income areas (largely connected to differing opportunities of parent groups to fundraise) ▪ Council should realize many want Gilroy to remain a community and moving a bunch of people in through stack-n-pack units will destroy that community.
▪ Lack of local high-paying job opportunities.
▪ lack of housing affordable housing for low income, extremely low income, and unhoused people. ▪ Some City Council members opposition to affordable housing ▪ Lack of affordable housing

▪ More Section 8 housing units are needed.

English Responses:
▪ All of the low income dwellings bring lots of police and mental health activity. Most of the homeless population in the city are mostly drug addiction or mental health. They refuse to get clean to and refuse assistance because living with no responsibilities or rules is easiest. Some have families that live locally that they harass for money or their steal property.

Homeless commit crimes of theft from stores and homes in the area and get away with it. The city or DA’s office does not allow the police to police anymore. We need to quit giving them everything they need to stay here and terrorize downtown business and tax paying residents.
▪ WHEN CONSIDERING AN INCREASE IN NEW HOUSING, THERE NEEDS TO ALSO BE AN INCREASE IN GROCERY STORES AND

PARKING TO ACCOMMODATE THE INCREASING POPULATION
▪ I love Gilroy and all it offers!
▪ Too many stores have closed, the water is becoming toxic and is in a declining supply. Existing city services such as fire and police hire good people, but there is not enough of them for the existing population. Drugs, guns and gangs are taking over.

Medical care is lacking - why can't you attract quality medical care? Worse the city doesn't have the funding to improve on these things. The city has no business allowing any developer to even think about another housing project. Get your priorities straight - improve what you have before trying to build more ghetto like housing. The way to correct homelessness is through education and better employment opportunities. See if you can work on that - find a developer for that, not more crowded housing like Eagle ridge and that mess west of Santa Teresa. ▪ Homeless is an issue in Gilroy too many homeless in the streets. housing developments such as apartment building are run down make landlords liable to fix these units
▪ Provide housing for the people who are here, not the ones you are hoping to replace them with ▪ I have been here over 13 years I stay with my parents I’m on ssi and am in need of housing my dad wants me out but I don’t have section 8 I need a apartment for 300 or 400 dollars a month not unless I can get housing everywhere I look it’s 1,000 or more please help me get housing.
▪ Gilroy is a bedroom community for Silicon Valley, across all socioeconomic levels. (Although more tech professionals can WFH than before Covid-19!) Getting hourly trains from Gilroy to Palo Alto should be a priority. (Not a housing issue per se, but if people are spending less on transportation, they have more for housing.) ▪ moderate and Middle income Gilroy homeowners being ignored yet they pay their part in property taxes. ▪ Gilroy needs 3-4 bedroom town houses, condos, and houses. Reasonably priced! ▪ I love Gilroy!!!
▪ We shouldn’t keep building just to build, each home should be made thoughtfully and invested in with purpose for future sustainability. Our biggest resource is the sun, let’s use it and normalize accessibility to solar powered homes/communities/schools. Water is also a diminishing concerning resource as well. How can we be resourceful in that regard as well?
▪ A lot of cockroaches near the schools. Sidewalks are dirty. Sometimes shoes hang on electricity wires. Roads have potholes and not always paved alley ways. People let their dogs poop anywhere and everywhere so more garbage cans or doggie stations would be nice throughout.
▪ not sure if you can do anything about this, but marijuana smoking is a problem. I shouldn't have to smell neighbors smoking weed when I'm in my house.
▪ The school systems and Gilroy are very poor. And the closest good store is in Morgan Hill to shop bad. Crime and homelessness is on the rise in all areas of Gilroy. I am not comfortable walking up at the levee or around town. ▪ Stop building housing for new residents and concentrate on responsibly serving existing residents. Promote creation of well-paying jobs for existing residents. Look for ways to REVERSE irresponsible growth in Glen Loma and Hecker Pass. Target 50,000 as maximum sustainable Gilroy population.
▪ Combine with traffic and roads and parking on site, not on the street. The cars on the street at some units make them look like the projects taking away from the experience of all ▪ Where are the amenities with all the new housing going in! ▪ I'm scared that at any moment I could become homeless. If that happens, I will surely lose my job, my pregnancy and possibly my mind. It will be so hard to come back from that. But the prices in Gilroy for the most basic apartment, are simply unreasonable.
▪ We need extremely low income units
▪ More affordable housing opportunities of all kinds
▪ We need workforce housing opportunities
▪ Commercial linkage fee to pay for this type of housing

▪ Inclusionary housing ordinance to require 15 percent affordable units in all new residential development ▪ The major problem for typical residents are the costs to buy and own. If the city of Gilroy wants to truly help employees, focus on the ones that work - not the ones who don't. Help them by reducing the amount of crap in the following: 1) make building and adding ADUs as simple as possible 2) Help working-class people qualify for loans 3) keep free enterprise as the basis for your programs. Do not adopt socialism or worse yet, reward for those who do nothing. ▪ I don't live in Gilroy but I serve clients who live in Gilroy. ▪ Need to focus on housing for middle income households; excessive amount of very low income housing already exist or planned in Gilroy beyond county requirements.
▪ Please provide 55+ apartment, or single parent duplex communities that are affordable. ▪ Transitional housing options for folks at-risk of being homeless and currently homeless. Options such as ADU’s, tiny homes, etc.
▪ "High quality" parks are needed for children. Just a few newer parks have been built where new developments are. The existing parks have not been updated.
▪ Unbiased studies need to be conducted. No new housing should be built until the current residences needs are addressed. ▪ Invest in a more walkable and bikeable Gilroy! Most businesses and amenities are along main thoroughfares or in specific parts of town, forcing most residents to drive for groceries, shopping, and other amenities. These same thoroughfares are often how drivers exit town on their way to workplaces outside the city. ▪ Invest in more mixed use zoning, especially in zones that are currently just residential. ▪ We really need to figure out commute time and access. We need more Caltrain service and expand 101 into San Jose. We need to work to afford to live in town so facilitate that first before building more homes and no jobs or roads. ▪ Gilroy has done more than it’s share of home building over the past 20 years with one of the highest growth rate in the Bay Area, yet the price if housing has just skyrocketed! Obviously building more quantity is not the answer. First-time homebuyers and renters need financial help from the State or Federal government. The rents charged for even the affordable units are out of reach of many. I am not sure just building more units will help them. ▪ Overpopulation and low income housing is devaluing the city and more and more crime is evident ▪ Miller Park is disgusting it was our closest park for the kids and I stopped going altogether. The homelessness problem and drug use was out of control their. The police presence was completely absent unless a fight, overdose, or rape occurred.

Its incredibly sad to see Gilroy feel the need to be like downtown Los Gatos. You have a predominantly Mexican population and you should be proud to cater to these traditional customs and not white wash it. ▪ I have lived in Gilroy my whole life I was born here. My kids and I are domestic violence victims and we are looking into moving out of my moms house but it’s hard cause their is really no open waiting list or programs to help me with rent when I need it
▪ Bring industry and high paying jobs to the city, if you want to address the housing problem. Flooding the city with low rent apartments isn't the solution. It's going to lead to overcrowding and crime. Gilroy already has a high crime rate and an influx of low income housing is only going to make it worse. If this keeps up, all the tax paying, upstanding, home owners are going to leave the city in droves. I guess it'll definitely become affordable to live here then. ▪ The city and community organizations such as churches and non-profits should combine their efforts to create several types of tiny home communities for the homeless from bare minimum shelter (shed structures with access to showers and toilets) to permanent long term tiny house.
▪ I would love to see the city do more to promote organic, sustainable farming practices in our community in an effort to improve air and water quality.
▪ I don't mean to sound mean or selfish, but Gilroy is doing pretty good. Attracting low-income and homeless is not going to improve the quality of life for Gilroy.
▪ Infill development needs to occur within in existing infrastructure. Affordable housing for working families. ▪ Horrible water alkaline off the charts
▪ A city of homeowners is a better place to live than one with a bunch of apartments. Build more single family homes with yards and the quality of community will remain healthy and crime will remain low. Also, consider a regulation preventing REITS and other large investment firms from buying housing in Gilroy. Keep the houses in the control of families, not conglomerates.
▪ We need more multifamily and affordable housing for families. Quality homeless shelters and transitional housing would help the homeless that are forced to live in vehicles and tents. ▪ We would love for the city of Gilroy to respect and maintain the beautiful outdoor spaces, lands and Not over develop. This is why we moved to Gilroy over 25 years ago. We have seen many, many new homes developed in the past several years.

Traffic has worsened, roads need repair, and it is starting to feel like we are no longer in the country. ▪ Too many of our residents live in Gilroy but commute to work in Silicon Valley. Gilroy needs to attract businesses that can employ these tech workers, bringing wealth, investment and a sense of community to our city. ▪ Homeless & crime is a large impact on community, increase in both is a concern. Roads & traffic are also being impacted by so many new homes being built with no new accommodations being made with these increases! How can one pay a million dollars or more for a home & have homeless encampments everywhere in town. ▪ None at this time

▪ Make sure there are easily accessible crosswalks that are lighted for seniors, children and families. There are many areas in the City that do not have great cross walks, especially near parks and people jay-walk all the time ▪ Gilroy is highly segregated, poorly designed from a city Planning perspective, including shopping and amenities. Old money, power relations and structures, old thinking and politics controls Gilroy. Please do things differently. ▪ We needs additional housing for low income, extremely low income, and unhoused persons. My belief is we have taken on our fair share of middle income and high income housing, and should curb other development unless we have proven resources to support, and adequate protection for the environment. ▪ We need better infrastructure. Al these homes are being built with no investment into a new grocery store, places to eat, places to shop. Gilroy needs more of the above items, otherwise people will continue to spend their hard earned money in other cities like Morgan Hill.
▪ I do not support projects that do not have to contribute to impacts such as traffic, public safety, and recreation/parks. ▪ Stop housing and business development impacting natural environment. e.g Hecker Pass ▪ Do not expand Gilroy with more new builds without investing in infrastructure, downtown and diversifying the businesses we have. Are there incentive programs (for homebuyers and/or owners) that we can implement to fix up our less beautiful neighborhoods before we just start building cookie cutter neighborhoods on the outskirts of town? It’s embarrassing to be from Gilroy when our neighbors (Morgan Hill, Hollister and even San Juan Bautista) have grown so well! ▪ I’m not sure if this is a city or utilities issue but if high density housing is going to continue to be built there needs to be be something done to address the unreliable power service we have been receiving here. The power outages due to fires is to be expected but our power goes out for hours — and even days— with no weather or fire issues at all. I really feel that in order to continue to allow building to continue at the pace it’s been going this and the homeless encampments need to be address.
▪ Council members nor supportive of its most vulnerable population. Recall mayor ▪ Build no housing until the drought is over.
▪ Need more transportation options and improve our streets pot holes. ▪ Please consult with Social Service agencies, both public and non-governmental. They know the needs better than those of us not seeking housing at present.
▪ I love living in Gilroy because of the open farmland and the various parks. I also love that it’s not overcrowded with so many people living in one home that there’s no parking on the street. ▪ Please keep in mind parking when planning as well as not charging HOA dues. ▪ Just don't make Gilroy lose its hometown feeling/look by overcrowding with so much housing and integrating apartments and low income housing right next to expensive and nice homes. ▪ My dad gave us the down-payment so that we could meet lender qualifications and closing costs. Our loan went thru modification due to being predatory in nature; if the modification wasn't approved, we would have lost the house. The taxes and insurance added to the mortgage payment is almost unachievable; we are happy that we are getting the tax write-off as opposed to the landlord.
▪ The city needs to focus on creating affordable housing rather than falling gor the political "selling the dream of homeownership" rather than providing adequate affordable housing. Once the homelessness crisis is addressed, then they can focus on "selling the dream of home ownership.
▪ I just found out - based on this survey - that we are again low income; we always just squeaked under the poverty line when the kids were young. Though we are doing ok, it's sad to know that we are again considered low income - the outrageously high cost of living combined with extremely high land values are driving people, especially families away. Why stay here just to struggle to make ends meet and find affordable rental housing, when they can move to other states where they CAN afford to purchase a home with land - the politicians are driving California to the bottom of the list - we used to be at the top of the list.
▪ I feel like Old Gilroy is neglected. The streets are not well taken care of, and the houses are also not taken care of, I’m assuming because of the amount of renters to owner ratio. There needs to be some kind of accountability for renters to take care of their dwelling, and for apartment owners to make their complexes up to some standard ▪ Gilroy should stop all detached housing construction and focus on job creation. Next priority should be on reliable, frequent, extensive and affordable public transportation.
▪ Do not continue to add assistance programs, affordable housing programs, etc. Put actual limits on the assistance that you do have. Most anyone that has relatively good health has no business being unemployed. If they say they can’t make enough working only one job then they should get 2 jobs and continually try to add new skills and education until they can get a better job that pays more. I always loved that Gilroy residents were proud, hardworking, no nonsense, people. People that would rather take a second job or work an extra shift before they put their hand out asking someone else to give their hard earned money to support them. Unfortunately, everyone, especially our younger generation have no issue begging for others money instead of working. Complaining about how hard it is instead of realizing if they just push through, work harder, they will make it. I think there should absolutely be some forms of government assistance available. There are legitimate reasons why people need help but the help has to have limits. These programs are destroying our communities and handicapping the people you think you’re helping. And what’s frustrating to every hard working person who pays their taxes is that you’re taking our hard earned money from us just to throw it away in programs that never work while bringing in more of these people who abuse these programs into our neighborhoods. Crime rates go up, the hardworking, proud people who moved to Gilroy to get away from cities like San Jose have to then sell their home and move away because your

well intentioned programs had no regard for the families that already live here. I can’t tell if this makes sense because the box is so small but I hope you get the picture and hopefully someone actually reads these. ▪ The city needs to prioritize resources for the unhoused population. City council members need to be better informed about how to appropriately address race and equity related to housing and overall planning. Climate adaptation also needs to be incorporated into this update. There are lots of county resources focused on increasing tree canopy, portable air filtration systems and using buses as cooling centers.
▪ We absolutely must build housing for the residents being pushed out by all of the “above moderate” housing. Affordable units aren’t at all affordable for those working in Gilroy and our city has done too little for too long to address housing inequalities. Our people without housing is increasing because generations of locals are being silenced and ignored. The majority of voters voted for Zach and Rebecca who have robust inclusionary housing goals, want attainable housing options for lower income residents and yet time and time again our current council ignores and outvoted them. It is disheartening and frustrating to live in such an unresponsive town.
▪ Homeless persons w/drug addictions need permanent housing. Most housing requires sober living. If they use they're out on the street again. Where do they get to live? Also, some mentally ill people need to be monitored. Its more than just a roof, they need special care and support without being institutionalized. What can the City plan for these circumstances? ▪ Investing in affordable homes will dignify families that want to live in a nice area as Gilroy. Where are the plans for that? Politics sometimes don't help on this topic
▪ Create suitable housing for the homeless in Gilroy and stop shipping them to San José ▪ Focus on schools and transportation. We have plenty of housing in comparison to those needs. Stop pandering to the homeless and your homeless problem will greatly resolve. It's not heartless to encourage people to move to more affordable areas. Many of our relatives have moved to other areas and states. It's time to grow up and become adults about this. I don't go to an expensive restaurant and expect them to hand out their door for free. This is no different. Basic economics folks.
▪ We need to look at traffic issues.
▪ It may be nice to have a Trader Joes in Gilroy’s southside. Mesa Ranch area. ▪ Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this critical issue. ▪ Over 40% of black/brown people are lower working class and this seems like a good time to raise them with offering them the dignity of owning a home, making better homes available and not packing them into more housing apartments like sardines and saying we’re helping. What they’re paying for apartments is what they should be paying for a mortgage. It’s a shame how $100k is now considered low income in our city. ▪ Gilroy does not need to add more affordable housing to our already crowded city. There are enough places other than Gilroy to live if it's not affordable here. We also do not need to build rehab facilities or shelters for the homeless issue. Most of the homeless population are homeless by choice. The temp shelters will continue to perpetuate the irresponsible free life that the homeless community desires. All you need to do is interview people who work directly with the homeless and see for yourself that giving to them is not helping them. ▪ Our family is considered middle class but we will never be able to afford a house in Gilroy, despite saving regularly. That means we will have to leave in order to buy a house elsewhere. Gilroy is too focused on providing rentals. To close wealth disparity, give people easier access and affordability to own homes. ▪ All of Gilroy's water is ridiculously hard. I don't think just building houses or apartments will make people use them. People are homeless for a multitude of reasons. Address those and build out programs for that in conjunction with some sort of housing. No one that I know in Gilroy likes how low-income/high density housing looks. It's too metropolitan.

Spanish Responses:
▪ You have to build apartments at extremely low prices. ▪ That houses were built for extremely low excesses
▪ Gilroy needs housing for extreme low income
▪ Update the tabulators of the salary averages and the availability for housing payment, according to the current inflation. ▪ In Gilroy there are no technology companies to have prices close to those of Santa Clara, San Francisco. So there is no justification for having such high housing since the salaries mostly do not come from that branch. ▪ need money
▪ The city needs more extremely low income housing units. There are very few. The focus is always on low and very low.

There are many people who can't afford low and very low income housing in Gilroy. ▪ We need low income apartments.
▪ Homes that adapt to our budgets.
▪ Need homes for extremely low incomes
▪ Gilroy needs extremely low wage housing.
▪ We needed extremely low income housing.
▪ We need housing for extremely low income farmworkers. ▪ We need low income housing.
▪ That the owners arrange the apartments that give washing machines to all the apartments.

▪ Take the community into account at every step.

▪ Extremely low income housing is needed in Gilroy.
▪ That they build more very low income villas. That there is no rent control every year! ▪ We need more housing for extremely low income people. ▪ We need very cheap homes because the income is very low and everything is very expensive. ▪ Give more publicity to housing assistance programs
▪ More affordable farmworker housing

▪ Rent prices are very high, we need rent control

▪ We need economic living
▪ Need houses at lower prices. financial aid
▪ Please be aware of the requirements that they ask for to rent a place. ▪ Safety in Gilroy has been down. I live in the area of Las Animas park, where it used to be quiet and safe to go to the park.

Now it's neither of them. And lately neighbors are suffering from theft of car parts in the middle of the day or night. ▪ More information in Spanish for the Hispanic community ▪ Previously the city had a program where families could work on the construction of the house and could buy it. This would be a very good option.

Virtual Workshop – March 30, 2022
On March 30, 2022 the City of Gilroy sponsored a virtual workshop focused on educating the community about the Housing Element Update planning process. As part of this workshop, attendees were encouraged to give feedback via the question and answer function in Zoom, which were answered by either the presenter or in the chat box. Below is a listing of the questions as well a summary of the most frequently voiced concerns.
▪ How can our city and region assure the building of housing does not outpace available resources? Our water resources are dwindling.
▪ How can we as community/housing assistance programs assist those in leadership positions to “Fast Track" building affordable housing (Particularly for the disabled community)? ▪ Is the city considering any reductions in impact fees to encourage more development? ▪ Have any office buildings or motels been reviewed for possible housing for our unhoused? ▪ The responsibilities fall on other cities like ours. Most folks in affordable housing are not Gilroy. We need to house our own and get resources. Why aren't other cities taking their fair share of the responsibility. It's been 30 years without enforcement ▪ We definitely need more supportive housing! I believe many of the mentally ill would be able to function better if they had some supervision and were able to stay on their medications. ▪ We need more parking, especially for affordable units. ▪ In addition to having a serious concern about our housing crisis, I have an infill 10,000 sq ft zoned r3 and as a PUD parcel in Gilroy. I would like to develop this land in a way that would help our City achieve some our target goals for the lower income population. My biggest concern is dealing with the whole permitting process. ▪ As a current homeowner who really values Gilroy’s diversity (racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, political) I really hope that we prioritize ensuring that low-income and working families can always be a part of our community. Gilroy should be a place that someone can realize the “American Dream” by working hard, raising a family, and be able to own a home. Opportunities not only for affordable rental housing but also for affordable home ownership will be critical. ▪ Is Supportive Housing for the homeless part of this plan? That is housing that includes resources that address medical needs, mental health needs, good public transportation, etc? ▪ 91% of Gilroy adults with developmental disabilities live at home with aging parents or in segregated licensed care facilities not by choices but because of the lack of deeply affordable housing available. This is an issue that affects people of all abilities in Gilroy. As we saw in tonight's presentation median income in Gilroy is significantly lower than Santa Clara County's AMI which means that the majority of low income Gilroy residents will most likely fall well below VLI maximum income. In RHNA cycle 5 the city exceeded its low income RHNA but as of 2021 has met only 63% of it Very Low Income RHNA. The city needs to develop policies and programs to create housing at affordability levels to specifically promote development of housing at deeper levels of affordability.

Virtual Workshop – June 28, 2022
On June 28, 2022 the City of Gilroy sponsored a virtual workshop focused on the RHNA sites and housing programs of Housing Element Update. As part of this workshop, attendees were encouraged to give feedback via the question and answer function in Zoom, which were answered by either the presenter or in the chat box. Below is a listing of the questions as well a summary of the most frequently voiced concerns.
▪ All but a few lower income sites are in areas designated by the state as low resource. How will you meet requirements to affirmatively further fair housing?
▪ These maps appear very segregated, all of the "low and affordable" on one side and moderate on the other side. What can we do to spread the demographics?
▪ The train does NOT provide robust service, nor has it for years now. I believe these policies are outdated. ▪ There is no enforcement on this new policy, especially not in Gilroy. Landlords and property management companies flat out refuse to take vouchers.
▪ Is there any way to plan housing for Gavilan College students? ▪ Will the western side of the city have a variety of housing; condos, market rate apartments, and single family? Something to consider is changing demographic needs, smaller family size (or no children) and the desire to downside in retirement years
▪ Can survivors of gender-based violence be considered under this category? ▪ Will year-round emergency shelter be proposed?
▪ Community members have also requested that an ongoing, multi-year source of funding for basic needs services for homeless residents be identified, rather than requiring providers to reapply each year. Will this be incorporated in the housing element?
▪ Will an Inclusionary Housing ordinance be prioritized? ▪ It’s wonderful to see farmworker housing on the list! A big thank you to staff and consultant, great work

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Gilroy Amending Sections
10A.15 (a) and (c) of the Gilroy City Code Relating to
Host Liability for Illegal Fireworks and Illegal Use of Legal Fireworks

Submitted By: Sharon Goei, Community Development Director Prepared By: Monica Sendejas, Management Analyst
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS Not Applicable

RECOMMENDATION
Following the reading of the title of the ordinance by the City Clerk, move to waive the first reading of the ordinance beyond the title and introduce the ordinance of the City Council of the City of Gilroy amending Gilroy City Code Sections 10A.15 (a) and (c) to strengthen the ability to enforce a host liability for illegal fireworks and illegal use of legal fireworks on public streets.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On February 27, 2023, staff presented a report on the Administrative Citations issued for illegal fireworks usage in Gilroy in July 2022. Based on the information presented to City Council in that report, including the feedback provided by the Hearing Officer after the Appeal Hearings, City Council directed staff to return with recommendations to strengthen the Fireworks Ordinance by amending the Host Liability for Illegal Fireworks.

Adopting the proposed amendments to the Ordinance for illegal fireworks will assist the City in attaining compliance regarding the prohibition of illegal fireworks in Gilroy. The Ordinance will hold property owners, or those with possessory interest in the property (rent, lease, permitted event, etc.) accountable for illegal use of fireworks that occur on

the property or the public street adjacent to their property. This will provide deterrence for property owners and renters to ensure that the illegal use of fireworks does not occur on their property or public street adjacent to their property.

BACKGROUND
Increased use of illegal fireworks, especially around the July 4th period, continues to be a problem in Gilroy and other jurisdictions in California. In July 2022, 61 citations were issued, 27 citations were appealed, with 11 of these citations being upheld by Administrative Decision (41%). This was a significant improvement over 2020 when the rate of citations upheld was 10%. The improvement was attributed to the modification in the City’s Fireworks Ordinance adopted in April 2022 and the presence of video evidence and/or citing officers at appeal hearings.

Following the 2022 Appeal Hearings, the Hearing Officer provided the following feedback about the Ordinance:
• When fireworks were discharged in the public street, mere ownership of the adjacent private property is insufficient to create host strict liability. • When illegal fireworks are discharged in the street or not on private property, the Ordinance can be strengthen by adding language that the person “possesses fireworks” or “presents evidence of use of fireworks” and by adding language that includes the adjacent street.

Fire danger from illegal fireworks to structures and open space vegetation poses a clear threat to public health, safety, and the general welfare of the City’s residents and businesses. The use of illegal fireworks adversely impacts the quality of life of our community members, particularly those who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and those who own pets. The intent of strengthening the Fireworks Ordinance is to allow greater ability for attaining compliance with fireworks regulations and yielding a higher success rate in the appeals process.

ANALYSIS
Educational messaging reminding the public of what types of fireworks are permitted, when and where they can be used, and how to use them safely have been and will continue to be a primary method to prevent illegal fireworks usage. Increased presence and enforcement activity during the July 4th period is also needed.

City Council adopted a Host Liability for Illegal Fireworks Ordinance in April 2022 to assist the City in attaining compliance regarding the prohibition of illegal fireworks in Gilroy. The Ordinance holds property owners, or those with possessory interest in the property (rent, lease, permitted event, etc.), accountable for the illegal use of fireworks that occur on a property or in association with a property. It was designed to apply to anyone with the right to use, possess or occupy a public or private property under a

lease, permit, license, rental agreement, or contract. Additionally, the Ordinance can be applied to any person who hosts, organizes, supervises, officiates, conducts, or accepts responsibility for a gathering on public or private property. The Ordinance was intended to provide a deterrence to property owners and renters to ensure that the illegal use of fireworks does not occur on their property. Violations of the ordinance were subject to an administrative citation carrying a fine of $1,000 for the first violation and $2,000 for every subsequent violation.

The results of the July 2022 Fireworks Citation appeal hearings showed that the Ordinance needed to be strengthened regarding illegal fireworks being discharged in the public street. Enforcement Officers and the Deputy Fire Marshal attended each hearing and testified why a citation was issued. In 16 of 27 appeal cases, drone video and/or officer body camera footage were submitted into evidence. Seven of the 16 appeal cases with drone video and/or officer body camera had citations dismissed because the illegal fireworks were launched in the street, and a connection could not be made to host liability.

The proposed update to the Gilroy City Code incorporates feedback from the Hearing Officer after the 2022 appeal hearings and specifically incorporates language for when the fireworks are discharged in the public street. The proposed amendments to Sections 10A.15 (a) and (c) are shown below with strikethrough indicating language to be removed and underlining indicating new language to be added. 10A.15 Host liability.
(a) The term “host” in this section shall mean any of the following:
(1) An owner of any private residential or nonresidential real property in the city; or (2) Any person who has the right to use, possess, or occupy public or private property under a lease, permit, license, rental agreement, or contract: or (3) Any person who hosts, allows, organizes, supervises, officiates, conducts, or accepts responsibility for a gathering on public or private property (4) Any occupant of any private residential or nonresidential real property in the city who hosts, allows, organizes, supervises, officiates, conducts, or accepts responsibility for a gathering on private property that results in a violation of this chapter on the public street adjacent to the occupant’s private real property. (4)(5) A person need not be present at the property or any such gathering resulting in the response giving rise to the imposition of civil fines or civil fees for response costs. Prior knowledge of the illegal use of fireworks is not a prerequisite to a finding that any specific individual is a responsible host as defined by this section.

City of Gilroy City Council Page 4 of 4 May 1, 2023
(c) Any host shall be strictly liable for any unlawful possession, ignition, explosion, discharge, use, or display of any fireworks in violation of this chapter on their property, the public street adjacent to their property, or at their gathering, except that no person who has the right to use, possess, or occupy a unit in a multifamily residential property under a lease, rental agreement, or contract shall be liable for a violation of this chapter occurring in the common area of the property unless the person hosts, organizes, supervises, officiates, conducts, or accepts responsibility for a gathering at which the violation occurs.

ALTERNATIVES
Council may modify or reject the proposed amendments to the Ordinance. Rejection of the amendments to the Ordinance is not recommended, as it would reduce the ability to uphold citations during appeal hearings.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Adopting the amendments to the Ordinance provides additional authority for the Hearing Officer to uphold a fireworks citation but does not obligate any additional resources to be used. The amendments to the Ordinance may result in more citations being upheld.

The amendments may also increase deterrence and thus decrease the overall illegal use of fireworks. The fiscal impact of the amendments is projected to be net neutral.

PUBLIC OUTREACH
If and when adopted, community engagement efforts will be undertaken to share this information with the community between the adoption and the July 4th holiday.

NEXT STEPS
If the amendments are accepted, and Council introduces the Ordinance, the Ordinance will return to the Council at the next regular meeting for adoption. The Ordinance would go into effect 30 days after adoption.

WHEREAS, the City periodically reviews its ordinances to ensure that they are achieving their aims, while continuing to adhere to legal requirements; and WHEREAS, The City Council of the City of Gilroy finds that the aims of City Code Chapter 10A would be better achieved by penalizing not only those individuals who use fireworks in violation of the City Code, but also those individuals who allow such illegal use on property that they either own or control; and

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Report on Illegal Fireworks Administrative Citations Meeting Date: February 27, 2023
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Community Development
Submitted By: Sharon Goei, Community Development Director Prepared By: Monica Sendejas, Management Analyst
Jonathan Crick, Deputy Fire Marshal
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS Not Applicable

RECOMMENDATION
Receive report on illegal fireworks administrative citations and provide direction for the Fireworks Citation program.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In April 2022, City Council adopted a Host Liability for Illegal Fireworks ordinance to assist the City in attaining compliance regarding the prohibition of illegal fireworks in Gilroy. The ordinance places host liability for illegal fireworks and the illegal use of legal fireworks on property owners or renters. The intent was to allow for greater ability for attaining compliance with fireworks regulations, as well as granting law enforcement personnel a greater ability to safely issue citations for illegal fireworks, helping to attain compliance in the future. This report discusses the administrative citations issued in July 2022 and provides the status to date.

BACKGROUND
Each year, the City Fire and Police Departments experience a significant number of non-routine Fire and Police requests for services, emergency calls, and citizen complaints, all of which are directly related to the use of illegal fireworks during the July 4 th period. Fire danger from illegal fireworks to structures and open space vegetation poses a clear threat to public health, safety, and the general welfare of the City’s

6 residents and businesses. The use of illegal fireworks adversely impacts the quality of life of our community members, particularly those who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and those who own pets.

Educational and enforcement campaigns against setting off illegal fireworks, as well as the increased presence and enforcement activities during the July 4th period, have been used by the Fire and Police Departments to deter and counter the use of illegal fireworks. Administrative and criminal citations have been issued in recent years for use of illegal fireworks, when and where a clear violation of the ordinance exists. Typically, it is not difficult for enforcement officers to identify the area an illegal aerial firework originates. The challenge lies in identifying the specific individual user, or possessor of the illegal fireworks, and determining the responsible party.

ANALYSIS
Educational messaging reminding the public of what types of fireworks are permitted, when and where they can be used, and how to safely use them have been and will continue to be a main method to prevent illegal fireworks usage. Increased use of illegal fireworks, especially around the July 4th period, continues to be a problem in Gilroy and other jurisdictions in California.

On April 4, 2022, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2022-03, Host Liability for Illegal Fireworks ordinance, adding Gilroy City Code Sections 10A.15 through 10A.18 to Chapter 10A to create and enforce a host liability for illegal fireworks and illegal use of legal fireworks. The ordinance holds property owners, or those with possessory interest in the property (rent, lease, permitted event, etc.) accountable for illegal use of fireworks that occur on a property or in association with a property. The ordinance was intended to provide a deterrence to property owners and renters to ensure that the illegal use of fireworks does not occur on their property. Violations of the ordinance were subject to an administrative citation carrying a fine in the amount of $1,000 for the first violation and $2,000 for every subsequent violation.

The Host Liability for Illegal Fireworks was created in a manner to avoid a narrow application to property owners only. It was designed to apply to any person who has the right to use, possess or occupy a public or private property under a lease, permit, license, rental agreement, or contract. Additionally, the ordinance can be applied to any person who hosts, organizes, supervises, officiates, conducts, or accepts responsibility for a gathering on public or private property.

Citations issued over the past three years leading to and during the July 4th period are as follows:
 2020: Seventy-eight (78) Administrative Citations were issued with a fine amount of $500. Twenty-nine (29) appeals were submitted, and twenty-six (26) citations

9.3 p. 1093 of 1163
Report on Illegal Fireworks Administrative Citations
City of Gilroy Page 3 of 5 February 27, 2023 5
6 were dismissed after the appeal. Of the seventy-eight (78) citations, forty-five (45) citations were paid, twenty-six (26) citations were dismissed, and seven (7) remain uncollected. The rate of citations upheld per Administrative Decision after the appeal was 10%. Six (6) criminal citations were sent to the District Attorney’s Office for review. The District Attorney’s Office does not inform the City of the resolutions of the citations.
 2021: Due to the results of the 2020 Administrative Citation Hearings, staff issued zero (0) Administrative Citations as the City’s Hearing Officer considered the current ordinance with the existing language to have a very low success rate of enforcement. The City subsequently updated the ordinance in April 2022.

Eight (8) criminal citations were sent to the District Attorney’s Office for review.

The District Attorney’s Office does not inform the City of the resolutions of the citations.
 2022: Sixty-one (61) Administrative Citations were issued with a fine amount of $1,000 for the first offense and $2,000 for every subsequent violation. One (1) criminal citation was referred to the District Attorney’s Office for review and prosecution. Appeal Hearings were conducted for twenty-seven (27) citations issued. Among the appeals, sixteen (16) citations were dismissed, and eleven (11) citations were upheld. Five (5) payment plans were established by Administrative Decision in the citations that were upheld. The rate of citations upheld per Administrative Decision after the appeal was 41% which can be attributed to the modification in the City’s Fireworks Ordinance adopted in April 2022 and the presence of video evidence and/or citing officers at appeal hearings.

For the citations issued in 2022, the appeal hearings were conducted virtually on January 17-19, 2023. Enforcement Officers and the Deputy Fire Marshal attended each hearing and provided testimony as to why a citation was issued. In sixteen of the twenty-seven (16 of 27) appeal cases, drone video and/or officer body camera footage were submitted into evidence. Seven of the sixteen (7 of 16) appeal cases with drone video and/or officer body camera had citations dismissed because the illegal fireworks were launched in the street and a connection could not be made to host liability. The total cost for services rendered by the Hearing Officer for the Appeal Hearings was $16,065.

Staff continues to work on the collections process for 2022. Fifteen (15) citations, which did not go through the appeal process, have not been paid to date. In addition, one (1) payment bounced. The penalty amount increased by 10% ($100) with each notice. A third notice for these citations was mailed on January 31, 2023, by regular and certified USPS mail. The unpaid citations which are not received by March 10, 2023, will be sent to collections for payment. Payment plans have been established by Administrative Decision for the unsuccessful appeals that are unpaid (five (5) citations).

Some feedback provided by the Hearing Officer through the appeal hearings and rendered administrative decisions was as follows:
 In the situations where the fireworks were discharged in the public street, evidence was required to show that the cited person hosted, organized, or otherwise was responsible for a gathering at which the illegal fireworks were discharged. In his decisions when an appeal was successful, the Hearing Officer stated:
“Under the plain language of §10A.15, host strict liability based on property ownership is limited to the use of illegal fireworks on “any private residential or nonresidential real property.” If the cited use of illegal fireworks is in the public street, then mere ownership of adjacent private property is insufficient to create host strict liability. Host strict liability based on a tenancy is similarly limited to use of illegal fireworks on either the private or public property that is the subject of the lease or rental agreement. Therefore, as above, a tenancy by itself does not make the tenant strictly liable for the use of illegal fireworks on an adjacent public street that is not the subject of the lease or rental agreement.

On the other hand, a person who hosts or accepts
responsibility for a gathering under §10A.15(a)(3), can be strictly liable for the illegal use of fireworks at a gathering on either public or private property, including a public street,

9.3 p. 1095 of 1163
Report on Illegal Fireworks Administrative Citations
City of Gilroy Page 5 of 5 February 27, 2023 5
6 regardless of whether an ownership or right to possession exists.”
 The Hearing Officer also stated that when it comes to illegal fireworks being discharged on the street or not on private property, the Host Liability for Illegal Fireworks ordinance can be strengthened by adding language that the person “possesses fireworks” or “presents evidence of use of fireworks.” Also adding language that includes the immediate adjacent street to the ordinance would be helpful.
 The Hearing Officer suggested that listing both the homeowner and the renter on the citation would be best.

Despite best efforts, the use of illegal fireworks continues to be a problem in Gilroy.

Enforcement through Administrative Citations takes a significant amount of staff time, effort, and resources from multiple Departments and incurs a further cost to the City through the fine collection and appeal process. The estimated combined cost for administering the citations and hearings is $45,000 to $50,000. The citations that have been paid as of February 13, 2023, total $23,000. There is no easy solution to rectify the issues regarding illegal fireworks. Staff is seeking Council direction on amending the Host Liability for Illegal Fireworks ordinance, whether to continue the fireworks citation program or other direction regarding illegal fireworks.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
A summary of citation fines was presented above. As discussed, enforcement through Administrative Citations takes a significant amount of staff time, effort, and resources from multiple Departments and incurs further costs to the City through the fine collection and appeal process. Fund 1004040, which is the Fire Prevention Division, receives the citation revenue. The revenue received helps to partially offset the costs incurred in staff time (Deputy Fire Marshal and Management Analyst) in preparing the citations, handling the fine collection/rebilling process, mailing costs, coordinating and participating in the appeal hearing process, and the contractual fees for the Administrative Hearing Officer.

The estimated combined cost for administering the citations and hearings is $45,000 to $50,000.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Conduct a Public Hearing to Approve CDBG Program Year 2023-24 Funding Allocations and Annual Action
Plan
Meeting Date: May 1, 2023
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Community Development
Submitted By: Sharon Goei, Community Development Director Prepared By: Sharon Goei, Community Development Director STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS Promote Safe Affordable Housing for All

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding allocations and Annual Action Plan for Program Year 2023-24.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For CDBG Program Year (PY) 2023-24, the City will receive $368,433 in CDBG funding from HUD. In addition to the annual allocation, staff has identified $280,466 of unused CDBG prior years’ resources that will also be included in the 2023-24 Annual Action Plan and allocated to qualified projects/programs. PY 2023-24 is the second year of the City’s two-year funding cycle. The projects/programs proposed by staff for funding renewal represent those previously awarded a grant in the first year of the two-year funding cycle and are performing satisfactorily and on track to meet their program goals, with one exception explained in the staff report. Including unused prior years’ resources in funding allocation will allow areas of larger community needs, such as affordable housing rehabilitation/preservation and safe pedestrian pathway creation, to be accomplished. Staff recommends that Council conduct a public hearing, consider any comments, and approve the proposed CDBG funding allocations and Annual Action Plan for PY 2023-24.

BACKGROUND
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides annual grants through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to local entitlement community grantees, such as the City of Gilroy. The CDBG program provides funding to carry out a wide range of community development activities to revitalize neighborhoods and provide improved community facilities and services. The program’s primary objectives are to develop viable communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities for low and moderate-income persons. The program is authorized under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Public Law 93-383, as amended.

In compliance with federal regulations, entitlement communities develop their own programs and funding priorities meeting one of the following national objectives:

1. Grantees must give maximum feasible priority to activities that benefit low and moderate-income persons.

2. Grantees may also carry out activities to prevent or eliminate slums or blight.

3. Grantees may fund activities when the grantee certifies that the activities meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs.

Eligible Activities
The CDBG program is flexible in the types of projects and programs allowed to be funded. As outlined above, each activity must meet a national objective for the program.

The CDBG program allows, but is not limited to, the following activities:
• Acquisition of real property
• Relocation and demolition
• Rehabilitation of residential and non-residential structures • Construction of public facilities and improvements, such as streets and neighborhood centers
• Public services
Generally, the following types of activities are ineligible:
• Acquisition, construction, or reconstruction of buildings for the general conduct of government
• Political activities

ANALYSIS
To encourage applicants to apply for CDBG funds, the City released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for a two-year funding cycle. The NOFA was released on

December 17, 2021, to local organizations, nonprofits, and City departments that may be interested in applying for CDBG funds for a two-year funding cycle, PY 2022-23 (7/1/2022 to 6/30/2023) and PY 2023-24 (7/1/2023 to 6/30/2024). PY 2023-24 marks the second year of the funding cycle.

Funding renewal for the second year, PY 2023-24, is based on satisfactory performance during the first year and funding availability. Performance results of the projects/programs for the first year, PY 2022-23, are available through the second quarter and are summarized on the following page.

The projects/programs proposed by staff for funding renewal in the table below represent those previously awarded a grant through the two-year funding cycle and performing satisfactorily and on track to meet their program goals. One exception is the Boys and Girls Club of Silicon Valley’s Ochoa Clubhouse CORE Enrichment Program. It is not being recommended for a second year of funding because the program is not providing services in PY 2023-24 due to its primary funder not providing funding. The CDBG funding that would have been allocated in the second year for this program, $7,177, has been distributed proportionately among the three remaining public service activities listed below.

9.4 p. 1100 of 1163

City of Gilroy City Council Page 5 of 7 May 1, 2023
Staff would also point out that the PY 2023-24 grant award from HUD is $69,744 lower than last year due to no fault of the City. Each year, HUD determines the amount of each entitlement grantee’s annual funding allocation. Many variables in the amount of funding authorized at the federal level for CDBG appropriations, combined with variations in the funding formulas across states and communities, contribute to the amounts allocated to Gilroy varying each year.

Since the fall of 2022, staff has been spending significant efforts assessing and completing numerous CDBG activities from prior years to ensure the City does not lose CDBG funding. Through these efforts, staff identified unused prior years’ resources totaling $280,466 and noted this funding as critical to ensuring the City meets its expenditure obligation with HUD. When projects come in under budget or a project does not move forward, the funds remain in the City’s line of credit with HUD and should be utilized for another eligible activity. To obligate all current funds and not jeopardize the allocation of future funds from HUD, staff recommends that the balance of these prior years’ funds be included in the PY 2023-24 allocation. This action will alleviate the funding reduction impact and allow the gap to be funded using resources from prior years.

For the past several months, staff has been working with Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley (RTSV) to determine if there is a need for additional funding for this program. The City and RTSV recently conducted a workshop and community outreach at the Gilroy Senior Center to increase awareness about the safety repair and accessibility modification program that is free to eligible homeowners. Due to increased costs in construction, an increasing number of applications as a result of the outreach, and to provide the ability to assist residents with much larger needs (such as larger repairs or numerous repairs), staff recommends adding prior years’ resources to RTSV to increase the amount of grant funds available for projects.

In addition, the Public Works Department will be designing and constructing another pedestrian improvement – a sidewalk and curb ramp project. The current allocation amount would cover only a low level of the associated costs for such a project. Thus, staff recommends adding prior years’ resources to the sidewalk and curb ramp project.

A list of proposed organizations, projects/programs, and allocations for PY 2023-24 is presented on the following page. Based on the 2023-24 allocation of $368,433, the maximum funding for public services (15%) is $55,264.95, and the maximum funding for program administration (20%) is $73,686.60.

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

1. Introduction
The City of Gilroy receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds each year from the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for housing, economic development, and community development activities. These funds are intended to meet priority needs locally identified by the City that primarily benefit persons with extremely-low, very-low, and low incomes (incomes of 80 percent or less of median area income).

To receive federal funds, the City must submit a five-year strategic plan—the Consolidated Plan—every five years to HUD as well as an Annual Action Plan for each program year that identifies local needs and how these needs will be addressed. The Action Plan must also demonstrate how the City will meet national goals set by the U.S. Congress to develop viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities.

The Consolidated Plan and each Action Plan embody and reflect three overall goals, which relate to the major commitments and priorities of HUD, including:
• To provide decent housing by preserving the affordable housing stock, increasing the availability of affordable housing, reducing discriminatory barriers, increasing the supply of supportive housing for those with special needs, and transitioning homeless persons and families into housing.
• To provide a suitable living environment through safer, more livable neighborhoods, greater integration of lower-income residents, increased housing opportunities, and reinvestment in deteriorating neighborhoods.
• To expand economic opportunities through more jobs paying self-sufficiency wages, homeownership opportunities, development activities that promote long-term community viability, and the empowerment of lower-income persons to achieve self-sufficiency.

The Program Year (PY) 2023/2024 Annual Action Plan (AAP) marks the 4th year of the five-year Consolidated Plan period, which runs from 2020-2025. The City has been notified by HUD that they will receive an allocation of $368,433 for this upcoming program year. The AAP describes to the public and HUD how the City will specifically utilize these monies in the coming program year (July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024). A complete listing of specific projects/programs that will be receiving funds can be found in section AP-35 of this document.

Any minor changes (i.e. typos, minor edits, changes that do not affect the essence of the document) to this Plan will be completed through a minor amendment process that will not require further citizen participation or City Council approval. Substantial amendments (i.e. funding changes, re-allocation of

3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
project monies, etc.) will follow the City’s citizen participation plan, and require a public hearing and Council approval.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan HUD has established a set of outcomes and objectives entitlement jurisdictions need to address. The outcomes and objectives are noted within each of the Goals included in the Strategic Plan (SP-45) section of the Consolidated Plan. In summary, they are as follows:
• Outcomes: Availability/Accessibility; Affordability; Sustainability • Objectives: Create Suitable Living Environments; Provide Decent Affordable Housing; Create Economic Opportunities
The goals identified in this Action Plan are taken from the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan which describes how federal funds and other resources will be deployed and what other actions will be taken to address community development and affordable housing needs over the next five years. The following goals were made available in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) issued, however only the goals with asterisks are being carried out with funding this year based on applications received/funded:
• Preserve affordable housing for home ownership*
• Install safety and enhanced public improvements*
• Small Business Expansion
• Workforce Development
• Supportive services for the homeless
• Supportive services for special needs populations*
• Fair housing support
• Neighborhood Revitalization

3. Evaluation of past performance
A meaningful evaluation of past performance is integral to determine what has been accomplished and what work is necessary to address the myriad of needs in the community. This evaluation included a review of past Consolidated Plans and AAPs. Through this evaluation, the City was able to compare the needs identified through this Consolidated Plan and compare them to the activities that have taken place in the past to determine if those activities are still necessary. Priority needs, and goals were then formulated to meet these needs with an eye to what has been successful in the past and what is necessary in the future.

The City will report, in detail, on its performance in the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) due to HUD 90 days upon completion of the program year. As an integral function of preparing for the CAPER, City of Gilroy Community Development staff monitors financial and program

performance of CDBG. Depending upon the results of that review, staff works with subrecipients to achieve spending and performance objectives.

PY 2021 marked the second year of Gilroy’s 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan. The City’s Consolidated Plan established five-year goals to benefit its low and moderate-income residents by creating suitable living environments, providing decent affordable housing, creating economic opportunities, and supporting activities for special needs and unhoused populations. In PY 2021, despite challenges posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the City was able to achieve many of its five-year Consolidated Plan goals.

Gilroy significantly exceeded its housing rehabilitation goals through the City’s Rebuilding Home Repair, Rehabilitation, and Accessibility Modification Program, which addressed health, safety, and accessibility issues for 19 low- and moderate-income families. The City’s allocation of funds awarded through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act for the CDBG program (CDBG-CV) supported 40 seniors impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with healthy meal deliveries. As it has in previous years, the City continued to address the needs of other vulnerable populations in the community by funding public services for low-income youth and seniors.

Additionally, the City is proud to report that 100 percent of CDBG funds expended in PY 2021 were directed to serving low- and moderate-income persons, which is substantially above the requirement that 70 percent of funds are used for that purpose. CDBG program requirements also limit the amount of funds obligated for public services to 15 percent or less and for administration and planning to 20 percent or less of the annual grant amount. The PY 2021 CAPER shows that the City’s public services obligation is below the 15 percent cap at 13.41 percent, and the administration and planning obligation is below the 20 percent cap at 17.58 percent.

Another regulatory limitation on the CDBG administration and planning costs is that no more than 20 percent of any origin year grant may be expended for planning and administrative costs. The City is currently in compliance with this requirement for the 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 origin year grants.

Finally, the critical program requirement of expending CDBG funds in a timely manner was met for PY 2021. A review of the City’s expenditures on May 2, 2022 showed the City had a balance of 1.43 times its allocation, thus meeting the requirement that the amount of CDBG funds on hand 60 days prior to the end of the program year not exceed 1.5 times the annual allocation.

Based on HUD’s review of the most recent CAPER from PY 2021, the City of Gilroy has the continuing capacity to administer its CDBG program. The activities undertaken are consistent with the City’s HUD approved Consolidated Plan, and the City continues to make progress in meeting its housing and community development goals.

The City followed the requirements for citizen participation outlined in the City of Gilroy Citizen’s Participation Plan in the 5-year Consolidated Plan. In the last program year, the City implemented a 2- year funding cycle for applicants, as to lessen administrative burdens on staff and increase the efficiency of the programs/projects that received funding. PY 2023/2024 will be the second year of funding for grant recipients, thus a new NOFA was not published this year. The PY 2023/2024 Annual Action Plan included the following processes to ensure the highest citizen participation was captured during the development of this plan:
• Public Notice published and website posting for comment period on draft Action Plan: March 24, 2023 in the Gilroy Dispatch

1. Introduction
The Consolidated Plan outreach effort is a regional collaborative effort between the County of Santa Clara and seven entitlement jurisdiction cities. The County hired Michael Baker International, in partnership with Circlepoint, to assist them in their community engagement efforts. Community engagement is key for helping the County and cities to identify needs, priorities, goals, strategies, and activities for future housing and community development activities over the period of the five-year regional plan. Engagement activities included a community survey, public outreach, stakeholder consultations (or meetings), focus groups, and pop-up events.

As a part of the stakeholder consultation process, the City consulted with a variety of stakeholders, including City departments, human service agencies, local and regional community-based organizations, housing providers and advocates, and the Santa Clara County Housing Authority (SCCHA). Social service providers were also consulted, including those that provide services to the elderly, persons with disabilities, homeless persons, and other lower-income individuals and at-risk populations.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)).

The City worked in coordination with many agencies, boards, and governmental entities with the intent of enhancing access to services, learning best practices of activities that would aid the City in developing strategies to meet established goals of providing decent and affordable housing, providing a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities. The City’s citizen participation efforts included the following efforts during the preparation of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan:
• CDBG/Housing Regional Coordinators Meetings – City staff and staff from the other CDBG entitlement cities in Santa Clara County, the County of Santa Clara Office of Supportive Housing, and the SCCHA participate.
o These meetings discuss data resources and strive to coordinate requests for information to both public and private countywide agencies.
o HUD staff meets with this group to clarify issues and assist in providing ongoing programmatic technical information.
o The email listserv for this group enables members to share information and provide technical assistance to one another, thus promoting and creating an environment of cooperation and understanding of differing needs, concerns, and issues among the group. This expansion of knowledge of regional issues and sharing of information benefits each individual jurisdiction represented in the group.

• South County Collaborative – City Community Development staff partners with the collaborative, which consists of providers of services to low-income and special needs residents of Gilroy, San Martin, and Morgan Hill.
o The collaborative is a nonprofit organization and can apply for funding benefitting the communities it serves.
o Collaborative members share information through an active listserv and receive notices of public comment periods on the Action Plan and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports.
• Unhoused Service Providers Network – Monthly meetings are hosted by City Community Development staff that include representatives from the Gilroy Police Department Quality of Life Officer Team, Gilroy’s Emergency Services Coordinator, staff from County of Santa Clara, staff from various nonprofit agencies and shelter providers, health workers, the Santa Clara Valley Water District, and faith-based organizations. The focus is to increase collaboration and partnership among the service providers and the City to connect the unhoused with services.

The sharing of information also has as a goal of coordinating resources and services for unhoused clients.
• Continuum of Care (CoC) Participation – Meets monthly with a group comprising governmental agencies, homeless service and shelter providers, homeless persons, housing advocates, affordable housing developers, and various private parties, including businesses and foundations, to identify gaps in homeless services, establish funding priorities, and pursue a systematic approach to addressing homelessness.
o A Community Plan Implementation Team, which includes members of the CoC and other community stakeholders, meets quarterly to evaluate progress toward the Community’s Plan to End Homelessness.
• During the development of its Consolidated and Annual Plans and as a general practice, the City coordinated with a variety of housing agencies, public and mental health agencies, and service providers to discuss community needs. These discussions provided an opportunity for these entities to network and learn more about one another’s services and programs.

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.

The Santa Clara County Office of Supportive Housing is the administrator of the regional CoC. The City continuously coordinates with the Santa Clara County CoC to end and prevent homelessness in the City and County. The Santa Clara County CoC is a group comprised of countywide stakeholders, including

2023
10 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
governmental agencies, homeless service and shelter providers, homeless persons, housing advocates, affordable housing developers, and various private parties, including businesses and foundations.

The CoC is governed by the CoC Board, which takes a systems-change approach to preventing and ending homelessness. This CoC Board is composed of the same individuals who serve on the Home Leadership Board. The Home Leadership is a public-private partnership that is committed to collective impact strategies to end chronic homelessness and is the governing body for the CoC and is responsible for implementing bylaws and operational protocols of the CoC.

Regional efforts of the CoC include the development of The Community Plan to End Homelessness, which identifies strategies to address the needs of homeless persons in the County, including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth. The plan also addresses the needs of persons at risk of homelessness. The CoC is now in the process of updating a new plan for the next five years and the City plans to participate in these efforts. The City's Unhoused Ad Hoc Committee made twelve (12) recommendation to City Council for formal support and approval of the Community Plan to End Homelessness. The Council added an additional two (2) priorities and approved the plan.

Also, during the development of this Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with both the CoC and County Office of Supportive Housing for their expertise and experience in identifying community needs.

Service providers and organizations that provide services to homeless persons and persons at risk of homelessness were also contacted by the City to attend the Consolidated and Annual Action Plan engagement meetings. This included Destination Home, the policy group that works on homelessness prevention and strategies to end homelessness; Eden Housing, a homeless service provider that provides permanent supportive housing in the City; and City of Gilroy Recreation Department, which administers CDBG funded Gilroy Youth Activities.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City is not an Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) entitlement jurisdiction and therefore does not receive ESG funds. However, the City does administer federal grant programs that provide assistance to homeless and low-income families in Santa Clara County. The City also helps fund and conduct the Point-in-Time (PIT) count, the biennial regional collaborative effort to count and survey homeless persons. The latest count and survey were conducted in January of 2023. The survey typically occurs every two years on January, however due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 PIT count was pushed back until early 2022. Other jurisdictions pushed back the 2023 PIT count to 2024, with the exception of

2023
11 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
the County of Santa Clara. The data from the PIT count is used to plan, fund, and implement actions for reducing chronic homelessness and circumstances that bring about homelessness.

The Santa Clara County Continuum of Care takes the role of Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) administration. The County, and its consultant Bitfocus, work jointly to operate and oversee HMIS. Both software and HMIS system administration are now provided by Bitfocus. Funding for HMIS in Santa Clara County comes from HUD, the County of Santa Clara, and the City of San Jose. The County’s HMIS is used by many city service providers across the region to record information and report outcomes. The software meets and exceeds HUD’s requirements for the implementation and compliance of HMIS Standards. The project has a rich array of service provider participation and is utilized to capture information and report on special programming, such as Housing 1000, the County VTA free bus pass program, and prevention service delivery.

The city partners and the entire county use the HMIS system to support housing availability alongside the coordinated entry system to support transitional, shelter as well as permanent housing needs. In Santa Clara County’s coordinated entry system, all homeless people complete a standard assessment tool (the Vulnerability Index-Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool or VI-SPDAT) that considers the individual’s situation and identifies the best type of housing intervention to address their situation.

A community queue of eligible households is generated from the standard assessment. The community queue is used to fill spaces in the permanent housing programs, including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing, in the County. This coordinated process reduces the need for people to traverse the county seeking assistance from every service provider separately.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC’s) National Broadband Map was utilized and reviewed to determine if any areas were lacking in the city and in not being addresses properly with broadband services. According to the Database, no areas of concerns existing within the city limits as 100% coverage is listed.

Identify any Agency Types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting Although not addressed in this Plan, the City intends to consult with other agencies in the future to gain more collaboration, including, but not limited to:
- Resilience specific organizations: This will include the South County Regional Wastewater Authority (and possibly the Central Coast Regional Water Board) and the County of Santa Clara’s Operational Area Hazard Mitigation Plan.

The City intended to reach out to these organizations and providers, however due to the pandemic, this action did not occur. The City is aware of the importance of both broadband and resiliency efforts and intends to address these items in the next Action Plan.

The City, other entitlement jurisdictions, and the County participated in a joint regional effort to conduct consultations and public outreach for the Consolidated Plan which drives the subsequent Action Plans. City and County staff, with assistance from consultants, worked to involve housing, social service, and other agencies in the community engagement process, including direct solicitation for these agencies to participate in the community survey, stakeholder meetings, and focus groups.

Stakeholder participants were asked questions and provided feedback on priorities, issues, and solutions in relation to CDBG-eligible activities such as housing, neighborhood revitalization, and low- to moderate-income household issues. They were asked about their top priorities, neighborhood revitalization, housing problems and their solutions, local organization support, families vulnerable to crisis, broadband internet issues, and how the jurisdiction should spend CDBG funding.

The responses were very helpful for the Needs Assessment and Strategic Plan of the Consolidated Plan, to analyze alongside data from the census and HUD, especially for topics pertaining to housing needs, homeless needs, non-homeless special needs and services, and community development needs.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting Outreach is essential to the City’s ability to create an accurate and effective plan, and to allocate resources appropriately. The City (in partnership with the County) made extensive efforts to solicit citizen participation during the Consolidated Plan process which in turn drives each years' Annual Action Plan. Below is a summary of the steps taken for the Consolidated Plan, along with the efforts made for the PY 2023/2024.

First, the City attempted to reach as many residents as possible within the CDBG target areas and within specific demographics, such as lowincome families, disabled persons, elderly persons, and families with minor children. Receiving feedback directly from residents who may potentially receive assistance from grant funds is crucial for the CDBG program’s effectiveness. Second, the City reached out to practitioners, agencies, leaders, organizations, and companies who may have the specialized knowledge, experience, resources, and capacity to discuss needs, opportunities, solutions, investments, and how community improvements can be made. Third, the City encouraged all residents to weigh in on community needs and opportunities for improvements through resident participation opportunities.

The City offered several opportunities and various methods for participation and public comment throughout the development of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, including:

1. Regional Needs Survey

2. Pop-Up Events

3. Regional Forums

4. Focus Groups

5. Joint Community Meetings on Consolidated Plan Process and Assessment of Fair Housing

6. Stakeholder Consultations

Citizen Participation Process Impact on Goal Setting
Comments and feedback obtained from the resident participation process are very useful in goal setting and strategic planning as they relate to the Consolidated Plan. For example, the comments received from stakeholders provided feedback for the Needs Assessment in the Consolidated Plan especially in sections concerning special needs populations and non-housing community development. The results from the survey and comments provided by the public also helped identify high areas of concern among the community especially as related to local data, housing, public services, and community development needs. The feedback was especially helpful in assessing the priority needs and goal setting for the Strategic Plan section of the Consolidated Plan. The responses obtained from community engagement were also helpful in providing more insight into barriers to affordable housing, priority needs, and areas needing the most neighborhood revitalization.

The City of Gilroy does not have a match requirement.

There are additional federal grant programs the City can leverage to fund community development activities and increase the project efficiencies and benefits from economies of scale. These programs include:
• Housing Choice Voucher Program;
• Section 202;
• Section 811; and
• Affordable Housing Program through the Federal Home Loan Bank.

These programs would not be provided to the City but rather the SCCHA and affordable housing developers.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City’s draft 2023 - 2031 Housing Element identifies vacant and underutilized land in the City of Gilroy that can accommodate a minimum of 669 extremely-low/very-low income units, 385 low-income units, and 200 moderate income units during the 2023 – 2031 Regional Housing Needs Allocation planning period. The draft 2023 - 2031 Housing Element includes additional programs to incentivize missing-middle-income housing and accessory dwelling unit (ADU) that are generally more affordable by design.

No CDBG dollars have been planned towards these units.

Table 7 – Project Information
Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
Funding of most projects was based on a competitive process that involved a Request for Proposals from the City's annual NOFA that was released on December 17, 2021. Interested applicants submitted funding proposals to the City based on the targeted priorities developed by the City. The City's Housing and Neighborhood Revitalization Committee (HNRC), reviewed the proposals, interviewed the eligible applicants, and rated each competitive proposal. City staff ranked the proposals based on scores received and funds were distributed based on the applicants' ability to meet the stated priorities and funding availability. The main obstacle to this process was the limited availability of funding. Again, the applications were funded on a two-year cycle. These projects/programs listed above represent the second year of funding.

There was one change to note for agencies funded on the multi-year cycle. The Boys and Girls Club program unfortunately is not being continued for the upcoming program year due to a lack of “other” funds that operate the bulk of the program. Due to the program ending, the City is not renewing their funding contract for the second year and will recommend distributing those funds proportionately amongst the remaining public service providers.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j) Introduction
The City is subject to the same barriers to affordable housing that exist across the Bay Area. These issues include the high cost of development, constraining the development of affordable housing units in favor of higher-end units, and the lack of developable land, which prevents housing development and increases the price of land.

Additionally, the County’s Assessment of Fair Housing identified the following contributing factors to fair housing issues, including affordable housing, through analysis of data and community engagement feedback:

1. Access to financial services

2. Access for persons with disabilities to proficient schools

3. Access to publicly supported housing for persons with disabilities

4. Access to transportation for persons with disabilities

5. Admissions and occupancy policies and procedures, including preferences in publicly supported housing

6. Availability of affordable units in a range of sizes

7. Availability, type, frequency, and reliability of public transportation

8. Community opposition

9. Deteriorated and abandoned properties

10. Displacement of and/or lack of housing support for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking

11. Displacement of residents due to economic pressures

12. Impediments to mobility

13. Inaccessible public or private infrastructure

14. Inaccessible government facilities or services

15. Lack of access to opportunity due to high housing costs

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 its draft 2023 - 2031 Housing Element, the City of Gilroy identified opportunities and potential solutions for providing housing:
• Develop an affordable housing framework and incentives policy to achieve more affordable housing production and deeper affordability • Develop an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) program that includes pre-engineered plans for ADUs that meet zoning and building codes to increase ADU production
• Establish and implement expedited permit processing for qualifying affordable housing projects, pursuant to SB 35 and SB 330 • As part of the comprehensive zoning code update, pursue changes to streamline the permitting process • Amend the zoning code to establish development standards for micro-units, create incentives for micro-unit production, and remove barriers to micro-unit development
• To enhance the quality of existing neighborhoods, continue to utilize CDBG funds to assist in the improvement and preservation of affordable housing
• Pursue funding from federal, state, and regional sources and support applications for funding to help increase the supply of affordable housing

AP-85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k)
Introduction
This section discusses the City's efforts in addressing underserved needs, developing the institutional structure for delivering housing and community service activities, and expanding and preserving affordable housing opportunities.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The Needs Assessment and Market Analysis of the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan helped develop the City’s priority needs for LMI persons, persons experiencing homelessness, special needs populations, and community service needs.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley will receive CDBG funds which will be used to provide minor home repair, accessibility, and rehabilitation projects for LMI homeowners. These rehabilitation projects are for homeowners who otherwise could not afford to make critical repairs in their homes, thus potentially resulting in health and safety issues that could cause a home to become uninhabitable and may lead to homelessness. For PY 23/24, Rebuilding Together is increasing its allowable amounts/awards to homeowners in hopes of completing a few more larger scale projects that will preserve affordable housing for these low-income homeowners. Additionally, a home that lacks proper accessibility for its owner may lead to a serious accident that could cause an even larger physical and financial burden.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City provides information about lead-based paint hazards at the Community Development counter and inspects properties being rehabilitated or acquired for affordable housing.

Additionally, when applicable, any homeowner units that participate in Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley’s affordable housing project will be assessed for possible lead-based paint prior to rehabilitation.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City works to reduce the number of poverty-level families through all projects by making the projects available to LMI households citywide. Some projects were created to address the need of expanding economic opportunities for lower-income people and others may offer additional benefits in reducing poverty, simply by way of design.
• The Live Oak Adult Day Services’ Adult Day Care Program provides recreation and socialization for persons who are unable to live independently. This program allows their caretakers to go to

work during the hours that the program is open. Were it not for this program, the caretaker may not be able to earn an income for the household because the person using the day program does not have anywhere else to go during that time.
• The Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley Repair and Accessibility Modification Program for LowIncome Homeowners will aid low-income homeowners and renters in making necessary health and safety and accessibility repairs to their homes that they otherwise would not be able to afford and which may otherwise lead to uninhabitability and potentially homelessness. • The City of Gilroy Recreation Division's Gilroy Summer Day Camp Program will keep youth in the area engaged for 2-week sessions while their parents are at work for the day, and they are not in school.
• The C.A.R.A.S. RYSE UP Program seeks to support at-risk low-income girls who are displaying offending behaviors, truancy, trauma and are on the verge or in the juvenile system with activities that will help build their self-esteem.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City is financially constrained and cannot meet all the needs identified in the Needs Assessment; however, the City continues to enter into partnerships with nonprofits to strategically meet some needs of the community. An especially pressing issue is meeting the needs of the City’s growing unhoused population. The City will continue to provide a platform for the City and service providers to increase collaboration and partnership to connect unhoused individuals and families with services, through the monthly Unhoused Service Providers Network meetings. In addition, the City provides unhoused resources and efforts on its website at https://www.cityofgilroy.org/unhoused.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
Local nonprofits are partnering with Morgan Hill to operate a Safe Parking Program for South County.
