9 The Committee reviewed proposals from community agencies for Public Social Services (PSS) and Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), conducted interviews with agencies and recommended funding eleven community agencies for PSS and two for CIP, and two City CIP projects, Pacific Natural Grass, and Pac/Ed Artificial Turf Project for FY 24-25.

The CoC Board approved the FY 23-24 funding recommendations for the ESG Program, and based on program priorities, for an entitlement allocation of $152,207. The ESG funding plan is a two-year plan. The funding allocation for FY 24-25 in the amount of $155,123, an increase of $2,916 from previous year, was approved by the CoC Board on June 4, 2024.

The Housing Authority uses HOME funding to develop affordable housing projects and programs. It periodically updates a Statement of Interest to reflect funding and priorities for the HOME allocation it receives each year from HUD. It also seeks input from community members through the Annual Action Plan process. Funding priorities for FY 24-25 include affordable rental development for new construction and/or acquisition of 920 E. Broadway plus administrative costs.

That the Housing Authority adopt a Motion to approve FY 24-25 CDBG, ESG, and HOME Annual Action Plan totaling $3,710,552; and authorize submission of the Annual Action Plan to HUD.

ANALYSIS
The City of Glendale has been receiving CDBG funds from HUD since the inception of the program in 1974, thereby, marking it the 50th anniversary of the Glendale CDBG program. The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program was added in 1987, and the Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) program was added in 1992.

The national and local objectives of the CDBG program are to:

1. eliminate conditions of slums and blight, and

2. provide programs and services that benefit low and moderate-income persons, including the homeless.

The objectives of the ESG program are to:

1. engage homeless individuals and families living on the street;

2. improve the number and quality of emergency shelters for homeless individuals and families;

3. help operate these shelters;

4. provide essential services to shelter residents;

5. rapidly re-house homeless individuals and families; and

6. prevent families and individuals from becoming homeless.

The objective of the HOME program is to provide and preserve affordable housing for low-income persons.

The City is responsible for following HUD guidelines and developing a 5-year Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan for the use of the funds.

Consolidated Plan
As a condition of eligibility for CDBG, ESG, and HOME entitlement funds, the City is required to submit to HUD a five-year strategic plan “Consolidated Plan” for the use of these funds. The current Five Year 20-25 Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) was approved by the City Council in June 2020 and approved by HUD, thus making FY 24-25 the fifth year of a five-year cycle. The ConPlan provides a profile of the City, and establishes program priorities, funding strategies and proposed goals for addressing community development, 5 of 105

41 5
1 9
9 housing, and homeless needs in the community. The ConPlan also incorporates other funding sources, programs and initiatives that assist in addressing the City’s community development, housing, and homeless needs; and strategies for leveraging and coordinating these resources.

The ConPlan is the primary planning document that HUD uses to measure the City’s effectiveness and to approve the submission of Annual Action Plans and other funding applications to HUD. The Annual Action Plans are comprised of specific projects the City plans to implement to meet the objectives of the ConPlan every fiscal year.

Annual Action Plan
In developing the Annual Action Plan, HUD requires that the City involve citizens in the plan development and approval process. This process includes is a combined effort for CDBG, ESG, and HOME programs and includes community meetings, board meetings and oversight boards.

CDBG:

The most prominent program in the ConPlan/Action Plan development process, is the CDBG program. Annual planning for the CDBG program includes outreach to Glendale non-profit community agencies to introduce the CDBG program and process; hosting a community meeting to identify community needs and set program priorities, pre- designating funds to City CIP; issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to community agencies for PSS programs and CIP; working with the CDBG Advisory Committee to review the proposals, interview the agencies that submitted proposals and recommend funding community agencies; monitoring current fiscal year programs; and reallocating funds as necessary.

CDBG ADVISORY COMMITTEE:

To achieve citizen involvement in plan development and approval process, the City Council appoints a citizen CDBG Advisory Committee, whose responsibility it is to help oversee the CDBG planning process.

The Committee’s current responsibilities include:
•Reviewing and commenting on the annual community needs assessment strategy. •Recommending program priorities, based on findings from the needs assessment, as well as input from the City Council;
•Evaluating funding proposals;
•Interviewing community agencies and City departments that submit project proposals;
•Recommending projects for funding;
•Reviewing sub-recipient performance, such as site visits and outcome reviews; •Reviewing and approving revisions or amendments to projects throughout the program year; and
•Reviewing and recommending reprogramming of CDBG funds. 6 of 105

CDBG funds are divided into three categories: Program Administration, Public Social Services, and Capital Improvement Projects.

Administration (Planning, Program Management and Oversight):

HUD allows jurisdictions to use 20% of their CDBG entitlement funds for administration of the CDBG program to ensure that they have the capacity to comply with the administratively laden HUD requirements and minimize financial risks. The core functions of Administration are planning, monitoring, contract compliance, financial management and project coordination. HUD is becoming stricter in requiring more low- income documentation from the sub-recipients in order to show eligibility for CDBG funds, which translates to greater financial risk and need for management and oversight.

Public Social Services:

HUD imposes a statutory limit of 15% on the amount of CDBG entitlement funds that can be used for social services regardless of how great the local need is for these services.

The basic HUD eligibility criteria for social service projects are: 1) the program constitutes a new or expanded level of service at the time that it is first funded, 2) the program serves over 60% low-income families (those who earn less than 80% of the County median), and 3) the CDBG funds are not used to substitute another available funding source. In addition to HUD eligibility criteria, agencies will have to meet financial capacity prequalification guidelines, such as submission of two years of financial statement compilations and copies of Board minutes approving the financial statements, to be eligible to apply for City’s CDBG Program funds.

Capital Improvement and Neighborhood Improvement Projects:

Generally, capital and neighborhood improvement funds represent 65% of CDBG entitlement funds, plus any available reprogrammed funds, which can only be used for capital and neighborhood improvement projects. Projects that qualify for this funding category include: community centers, such as parks, libraries, recreation centers, senior centers, youth centers, employment centers and social service centers; handicapped accessibility projects anywhere in the City; public improvements in low income neighborhoods; commercial rehabilitation; and economic development projects. 7 of 105

9 Traditionally, as part of the funding allocation plan, the City Council pre-designates and pre-approves City CIP deemed a priority and authorizes the issuance of a Request for Funding Proposal (RFP) to community agencies for the remainder of the CDBG funds.

Proposals are solicited from community agencies for PSS and the balance of capital improvement funds for community CIP. Any qualified non-profit community agency or public agency is eligible to apply for CDBG funds provided that projects meet one of the two broad national objectives: 1) serving low-income persons, or 2) preventing or eliminating conditions of slums and blight. In addition, funded projects are required to serve primarily Glendale residents and not to discriminate in the provision of services.

Furthermore, projects that meet the identified program priorities are given preference for funding.

The proposal evaluation criteria used by the CDBG Advisory Committee includes:
1) Overall quality of the proposal;
2) Whether the project meets a program priority;
3) Ability of the applicant to substantiate that the project meets a community need; 4) Whether the proposal clearly articulates a target population/outreach strategy; 5) Financial capacity of the organization,
6) Demonstration of coordination and collaboration with other agencies/programs; 7) Program goals and outcomes;
8) Feasibility of proposed implementation plan;
9) Budget, cost effectiveness and leveraging of funds; and 10) Demonstrated experience, effectiveness, and administrative capacity of sponsoring Organization/City Department, including performance history.

Additional tools provided to the Committee to evaluate capacity and effectiveness of proposals include: 1) mid-year performance reports, 2) financial analysis report prepared by staff for each non-profit organization, and 3) proposal evaluation rating forms.

ESG PROGRAM:

The ESG Program follows the same process as CDBG, in terms of identification of homeless priorities, issuance of RFPs and proposal evaluation, except that ESG funding proposals are reviewed and recommended by a separate homeless proposal review committee comprised of the Continuum of Care (CoC) Board. The CoC Board is guided by the specific needs of the CoC model of homeless services adopted by the Glendale CoC. The ESG funding plan is developed is a two-year plan. ESG programs that request continued funding for the subsequent year and meet their program outcomes and performance goals are allowed to be renewed for funding subject to review and approval by the CoC Board.

The published national objective of the ESG program is to help with the expansion, improvement and operation of emergency shelter facilities, supportive services, rapid re- housing, and homeless prevention.

HOME
The Housing Authority is a Participating Jurisdiction under the HOME Program. As such, it receives an allocation each year directly from HUD to carry out affordable housing programs and projects.

The Housing Authority periodically updates a Statement of Interest to reflect its funding priorities. Like the CDBG and ESG programs, it seeks input from the community through the Annual Action Plan process to determine what housing needs exist. It also solicits Requests for Proposal from developers when sufficient funding is available for development of an affordable housing project. A review team consisting of city staff reviews proposals and provides recommendations to the Housing Authority for viable affordable housing developments.

The Housing Authority uses HOME funding, as well as other funding sources including Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF), and Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program to create affordable housing programs and projects. The City Council can also assign General Fund funds to housing related purposes.

The FY 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan process for CDBG began on September 6, 2023, when staff held an annual CDBG Open House event in a virtual platform inviting over 99 non-profit organizations to participate via Microsoft Teams. 17 representatives from 15 non-profit community agencies attended the Open House to learn about the CDBG program.

In the Fall of 2023, a community meeting was held to gather input from residents to identify needs and determine program priorities for CDBG, ESG and HOME. Four platforms were used to gather comments, which included: 1) in-person community meeting, 2) a virtual community meeting via Microsoft Teams 3) email, and 4) Telephone call-in option.

In total, three people attended the in-person community meeting. One resident participated in the virtual community meeting and two email comments were received.

On November 14, 2023, as part of the annual program planning cycle, staff presented the CDBG Advisory Committee recommendations to City Council/Housing Authority for approval and they approved: a preliminary proposed FY 24-25 CDBG Funding Allocation 9 of 105

9 Plan by Funding Category; program priorities; and issuance of an RFP for PSS programs and CIP based on estimated $1,700,000 CDBG entitlement funding from HUD.

A mandatory Technical Support Workshop was held on December 5, 2023 to review the new CDBG RFP cycle and to provide in-person demonstration/training to community agencies utilizing the new ZoomGrants System, an online grant management system implemented this year. Upon completion of the workshop, agency attendees received a link to ZoomGrants to begin the RFP application process.

The Proposed FY 24-25 Funding Allocation Plan by Funding Category originally approved by Council/Housing Authority in November 2023 is based on an estimated $1,700,000 in CDBG entitlement funds, $ 552,629 in canceled/returned project funds and $146,795 in undesignated funds:
•$340,000 (20%) for Administration (planning, program management and oversight)
•$255,000 (15%) for public social services programs
•$1,632,583 (65%) for capital improvement projects
-$870,000 for pre-designated City projects
-$762,583 undesignated and available to community agencies for community capital improvement projects under an RFP
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PROCESS:

When the RFP was issued on November 20, 2023, it was based on the estimated $1,700,000 in entitlement funds. Fourteen CDBG PSS and CIP funding proposals were received and evaluated by staff and the CDBG Advisory Committee through a Strength and Weakness Analysis via ZoomGrants.

The Committee, in two full day sessions on March 1, 2024, and March 4, 2024, interviewed each community agency requesting PSS and CIP funds, respectively. The Committee deliberated and developed funding recommendations based on an estimated CDBG entitlement amount, canceled/returned project funds, and undesignated fund balance.

The final FY 24-25 HUD Entitlement Funds for all programs is summarized below and is part of the final proposed Annual Action Plan: (See Exhibit 2)

CDBG$1,733,207 + $699,424 (canceled/returned funds + fund balance) ESG $ 155,123
HOME $1,247,169 + $129,999 (Program Income)
Total $3,964,922
Based on the final HUD allocations, the final proposed FY 24-25 Funding Allocation Plan for the CDBG Program is as follows:
•$259,980 (15% of entitlement funds) for PSS.

o$254,370 undesignated fund balance for FY 2024-2025
•$346,641 (20% of entitlement funds) for planning, program management and oversight.

Public Social Services
Eleven proposals were received for PSS programs totaling $622,789 which was $362,809 over the available amount of $259,980. All eleven programs were recommended for funding. The Committee recommendations were based on a lower total amount available as the final HUD allocations were not available at the time of the meeting. The Committee also approved a CDBG Contingency Plan, to give staff direction on how to adjust the funding recommendations should the final HUD allocations come in higher/lower than the estimate. The CDBG Contingency Plan was to equally increase or decrease funding to all funded agencies, except for the Housing Rights Center, based on the final HUD allocation, but would not decrease funding from a funded agency if the recommended funding is $10,000. Below is a summary table of Public Social Services final funding recommendations for FY 2024-2025:

PROGRAM CATEGORY/PROJECTS/SPONSOR

RECOMMENDED
FY 24-25 FUNDING
YOUTH AND TEEN PROGRAMS:

AESA STEM Academy, Armenian Engineers and Scientists of America $10,498 Intervention/Prevention Clinical Group Counseling, CASPS $34,498 Youth Employment Program, Glendale Youth Alliance (GYA) $15,498 Subtotal $60,494
ADULT COUNSELING & CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS:

Pro Bono Legal Clinic, Armenian Bar Association $20,498 Community Outreach Program, Armenian Relief Society $65,498 Fair Housing Program, Housing Rights Center
(Additional funding from Section 8 Earned Administration Funds- $10,000 for a total allocation of $20,000)
$10,000
Subtotal $95,996
HOMELESS PROGRAMS:

Glendale Community Center Loaves and Fishes, Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, Inc. $28,898
Homeless Outreach Program, Ascencia $10,498
Crisis Aid for Homeless Families, Home Again, Los Angeles $15,498 Domestic Violence Mental Health & Case Management, Door of Hope $20,498 Mental Health Services for Survivors of Domestic Violence, YWCA of Glendale and Pasadena $28,098
Subtotal $103,490
TOTAL PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES: $259,980
11 of 105

The highest percentage of PSS funding is recommended for homeless services programs at 40% ($103,490). The next highest funding allocation by program type is adult counseling and case management programs at 37% ($95,996) and lastly, youth programs, which include: in-school programs, enrichment programs, afterschool programs, youth employment, and teen programs at 23% ($60,494).

In addition to the CDBG funding for PSS programs, the City uses other non-CDBG funds to leverage programs provided by community agencies. For example, the City has leveraged Section 8 Earned Administration funds and CDBG funds to fund the Housing Rights Center’s (HRC) Fair Housing Program for fair housing services and tenant landlord information. The current contract amount for the FY 23-24 Fair Housing Program is $20,150 which includes $10,150 in CDBG funding and $10,000 in Section 8 Earned Administration funding.

For FY 24-25, a similar split is recommended for Council/Housing Authority approval, $10,000 in CDBG funding and $10,000 in Section 8 Earned Administration funding for a total of $20,000 to be allocated to the Housing Rights Center’s Fair Housing program for FY 24-25. Section 8 Earned Administration funding for the HRC contract is budgeted in the FY 24-25 Community Development Section 8 budget.

Capital Improvement Projects
Three community agencies submitted CIP proposals for consideration, totaling $1,464,223. The FY2024-2025 CIP allocation is $1,126,586, plus additional funding from completed, returned, and/or canceled projects in the amount of $699,424 from previous program years, for total CIP funding of $1,826,010.

The Committee recommended fully funding two City projects and two community agency projects for FY 24-25.

Door of Hope who had requested $762,583 in funding for the DV Transitional Housing Expansion Phase I project was not recommended for funding as their proposal and interview reflected that the agency is awaiting final decision on other grant funds and could not confidently determine total project budget, or identify leveraged funds at the March 4, 2024 meeting of the CDBG Advisory Committee to move forward with the project.

The Committee decided to resume discussion on CIP project recommendations at the August 2024 meeting, when final funding allocations and additional CDBG funds from other canceled projects would be made available for programming. Therefore, $254,370 remains unprogrammed in CIP and will be brought back to the City Council at a later date.

Below is a summary table of the Capital Improvement Project final funding recommendations for FY 2024-2025:

CDBG Cancelled/Unused Funds
Furthermore, staff is requesting for Council to authorize the City Manager to redirect excess, cancelled, or unused program funds under $50,000 from one project to another with CDBG Advisory Committee approval. This authorization will allow staff to work with the CDBG Advisory Committee to reallocate funds, should there be a need, without having to come back to Council for such a small amount.

Exhibit 3 provides a Summary List of FY 24-25 CDBG Funds Requested and Recommended for Funding Based on Estimated and Final Allocations.

ESG PROGRAM:

On March 9, 2023, the CoC Board met and recommended funding four existing ESG community projects for FY 23-24. Programs that were approved for funding in FY 23-24 by the CoC Board and meet their outcomes and performance goals may be recommended for renewal for FY 24-25.

The previously approved funding recommendations have been updated based on the FY 24-25 funding allocation, which is $2,916 more than the previous year (Exhibit 7.) Traditionally, no more than 40% of the total allocation can be used for Shelter Operations.

HOME PROGRAM:

HOME projects are not solicited in the same manner as the CDBG and ESG programs.

Specific HOME projects are developed by the Housing Authority on an ongoing basis (through a continuous Statement of Interest that is updated periodically to reflect funding and priorities and through a RFP process when sufficient funds are available for a feasible development project). Also, as part of the process of developing the Annual Plan, HUD requires input from the community regarding housing needs and housing programs for the Housing Authority to consider when approving housing programs and projects. The HOME planning and budgeting process is currently underway and the FY 24-25 Affordable Housing Budget will be brought to the Housing Authority for review in June 2024. In addition to HOME funds, the Affordable Housing Budget also includes Section 8 Rental Assistance, federal CoC homeless funds, BEGIN Homeownership Program, the Affordable Housing Trust Fund expenditures, General Fund funding for the Monthly Housing Subsidy Program, and program income from Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund.

The funding plan for the use of HOME funds will be determined by the Housing Authority as part of the Housing Authority’s review and approval of the annual Affordable Housing 14 of 105

Budget, with consideration given to input received regarding housing needs as part of the CDBG, ESG and HOME Annual Plan community needs assessment process.

The HOME program is one of four major housing resources addressed in the City’s 20- 25 Consolidated Plan. The table below shows the four major funding sources and two additional funding sources, estimated FY 24-25 revenues from each, and percentage of total revenues for each.

Estimated Affordable Housing Revenue FY2024-2025
Funding Source Estimated
Revenue
Percent of
Total Revenue
HOME Investment Program $1,377,168 2.50%
Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds $200,000 0.36%
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program $49,293,582 89.63% Affordable Housing Trust Fund $252,980 0.46%
BEGIN Homeownership Program $10,000 0.02%
Monthly Housing Subsidy Program $934,319 1.70%
CoC Homeless Competitive Funding $2,930,721* 5.33%
TOTAL FUNDS $54,998,770 100%
* Carryover funds from FY 23-24
Generally, the budget allocates the majority of HOME funds for use in projects and programs that increase affordable housing opportunities and supply. Based on the current housing market, the greatest opportunity for increasing the affordable housing supply in the next year is through the Affordable Rental – New Construction and Acquisition/Rehabilitation Program. HOME funds are restrictive in that they can only be used for lower income households. Other HOME fund requirements typically include: a 25% match by developers; a reserve of 15% for a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO); federal prevailing wages for larger housing projects; a commitment of funds to a specific project within 24 months (temporarily suspended); and a requirement for expenditure of funds within five years.

The entitlement amount for HOME funds in FY 2024-2025 is $1,247,169, a 20.8% decrease from the FY 23-24 grant amount. In addition, $129,999 is also available from HOME program income for FY 24-25 HOME projects. HOME funds from FY 24-25 and prior years represent the majority of funds that will be available in FY 24-25 for new construction of affordable housing units.

Therefore, it is recommended that the funding strategies for the HOME program in FY 2024-2025 include:
• Affordable Rental Development-New Construction and/or Acquisition $1,052,376
• 15% CHDO Reserve
$187,075
It is also recommended to appropriate $137,717 for administration to pay for costs associated with planning, reporting, project development, and compliance monitoring of HOME projects. This amount is equal to 10% of the 2024 HOME entitlement amount, plus 10% of program income.

$500,000
Community Services & Parks
30 of 105

8 This project is sponsored by the Community Services & Parks Department and involves the replacement of the artificial turf field at the Pacific Park/Edison Elementary multi- purpose field. The project will also include improving field drainage to address stormwater runoff issues, increasing the north fence height for safety purposes, addressing the spectator seating conflicts with field use, adds new privacy screening and new field striping. An evaluation of the current turf system will be performed to determine the ideal solution for this field since the city opt to switch to organic infill options. Additionally, it is anticipated that this project will trigger a Division of the State Architect (DSA) review (since project is on a school site), so a licensed Architect will need to be the Design Professional in General Responsible Charge for the DSA review. STATUS: City released a verbal RFP for landscape architecture professional services to design the replacement of the Pac/Ed artificial turf field on October 30, 2023, with proposals due on November 17, 2023. City received two proposals within the RFP timeframe and is in the process of taking a motion to City Council to award the design contract, which is tentatively scheduled for March 2024. Once a Notice to Proceed is issued to a landscape architect for the project, the design phase is anticipated to take approximately 8 months to complete 100% Construction Drawings and Specs.

It is commendable how you are able to stretch the dollars to cover so many services.

Overall these grants provide so little funding for such daunting tasks!

3. Pranke, MaryAnn7:39 PM
How do you determine the allocation amounts to the different programs and services. For example, how does one receive $65K and another receive $10K? Yes, thank you!

4. What kinds of projects does grant be funding?

4. I have a question/comment in regard to the ESG program. Would it be possible to streamline some of these funds into the SSP program? SSP case managers could better assist clients who may be struggling to pay their monthly rent.

5. It would also be great to hold community meetings right after lunch at the ARC, this would allow more participation from seniors living in the community.

11. Environmental Factors Potentially Affected:

The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a “Potentially Significant Impact,” as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.

Aesthetics Agriculture and Forest Resources Air Quality Biological Resources Cultural Resources Energy
Geology / Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions Hazards / Hazardous Materials Hydrology / Water Quality Land Use / Planning Mineral Resources Noise Population / Housing Public Services
Recreation Transportation Tribal Cultural Resources
Utilities / Service Systems Wildfire Mandatory Findings of Significance LEAD AGENCY DETERMINATION:

On the basis of this initial evaluation:

I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

I find that the proposed project MAY have a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated” impact on the environment, but at least one effect ( 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and ( 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

Signature of Director of Community Development or his or her designee authorizing the release of environmental document for public review and comment.

Except as provided in Public Resources Code Section
21099, would the project:

Potentially
Significant
Impact
Less than
Significant
Impact with
Mitigation
Incorporated
Less than
Significant
Impact
No
Impact

1. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? X

2. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a state scenic highway?
X

3. In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the
existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point.) If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations
governing scenic quality?
X

4. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the
area?
X
Comments to Sections A(1), (2), (3), and (4):

Implementation of the action plan prepared for the FY 2024-2025 CDBG, ESG and HOME programs is not anticipated to have a negative impact on aesthetics as most of the projects involve public social service programs that do not propose physical changes to the existing built environment. In addition, the majority represent a continuation of existing programs that are not proposed to expand.

As such, these programs would not adversely affect scenic vistas, damage scenic resources, degrade the visual character of any sites or create substantial light or glare.

Potential aesthetic impacts could result from capital and neighborhood improvement projects that are also part of the action plan. However, these projects would be evaluated in subsequent project - specific environmental review under CEQA when specific project data becomes available.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures are required.

B. AGRICULTURE AND FOREST RESOURCES
In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997, as updated) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state’s inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.

1. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the
maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency,
to non-agricultural use?
X

2. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? X

3. Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code
Section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined in Public
Resources Code Section 4526), or timberland zoned
Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code
Section 51104(g))?
X

4. Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? X

5. Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of
forest land to non-forest use?
X
Comments to Sections B(1), (2), (3), (4) and (5):

The City of Glendale does not contain any agricultural resources or lands currently zoned for agricultural uses; instead, Glendale is an urbanized area with a mixture of commercial, residential and industrial uses. Implementation of the action plan prepared for the FY 2024-2025 CDBG, ESG and HOME programs would not have a negative impact on agricultural resources because there is no “prime farmland,” “unique farmland” or “farmland of statewide importance” that could be converted to non-agricultural use; no existing zoning for agricultural use or Williamson Act contracts; and no farmland that could be converted to non-agricultural use. There is no existing zoning of forest land or timberland in the City of Glendale. No forest land could be converted to non-forest use under the proposed project.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures are required.

C. AIR QUALITY
Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management district or air pollution control district may be relied on to make the following determinations.

altered governmental facilities, need for new or
physically altered governmental facilities, the
construction of which could cause significant
environmental impacts, in order to maintain
acceptable service ratios, response times or other
performance objectives for any of the public services:

a) Fire protection? X
b) Police protection? X
c) Schools? X
d) Parks? X
e) Other public facilities? X
Comments to Sections O(1)(a),(b), (c), (d) and (e):

Implementation of the action plan prepared for the FY 2024-2025 CDBG, ESG and HOME programs is not anticipated to have a negative impact associated with public services as most of the projects involve public social service programs that do not propose physical changes to the existing built environment. In addition, the majority represent a continuation of existing programs that are not proposed to expand. As such, these programs would not adversely affect public services.

Potential impacts associated with public services could result from capital and neighborhood improvement projects that are also part of the action plan. However, these projects would be evaluated in subsequent project-specific environmental review under CEQA when specific project data becomes available.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures are required.

Conversely, the proposed programs included in the action plan would help to relieve existing pressure on the recreational facilities by providing after school programs away from park sites.

No
Impact

1. Does the project have the potential to substantial
degrade the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, substantially reduce the number or restrict
the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of the major periods of
California history or prehistory?
X

2. Does the project have impacts that are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively
considerable” means that the incremental effects of a
project are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future
projects.)
X

3. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
X
Comments to Sections U(1), (2) and (3):

Implementation of the action plan for the FY 2024-2025 CDBG, ESG and HOME programs is not anticipated to degrade biological resources or the overall quality of the natural environment; eliminate important historic or prehistoric resources; have environmental effects causing substantial adverse effects on humans; or have cumulatively considerable impacts. In addition, the majority represent a continuation of existing programs that are not proposed to expand. As such, these programs are not considered cumulatively considerable.

Potential cumulative impacts could result from capital and neighborhood improvement projects that are also part of the action plan. However, these projects would be evaluated in subsequent project - specific environmental review under CEQA when specific project data becomes available. 63 of 105

Item Type: Action Item

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Community Development Department, Housing Division presents the Fiscal Year 24-25 budget of all Housing funds for consideration and budget adoption. 96 of 105

22 5
2 1
3 RECOMMENDATION
That City Council and Housing Authority adopt the FY 24-25 budget as presented and make the required findings to utilize funds outside of the Redevelopment Project Areas.

BACKGROUND
The proposed budget for the Glendale Housing Authority is $56,705,049 for FY 24-25.

The Housing Authority Budget is primarily a grant funded / special revenue specific budget with funding from:
- Federal sources that are received on an annual basis; - Encumbered assets/program income from previous investments of Redevelopment 20% Housing Set Aside funds;
- Development related affordable housing fees including the Affordable Housing Density Bonus fee, City-Wide Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu fee, and the Commercial Development Impact fee; and
- One-time State grant awards.

The Housing Authority has the responsibility for administering the following programs:
-The Housing Assistance Fund (2020) – which provides federal Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), VASH, and Mainstream Vouchers for rental assistance to low income households. Also included is the newly created (2021) Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV) to assist individuals and families who are homeless, at-risk of homelessness, fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, or were recently homeless or have a high risk of housing instability; -HOME Grant Fund (2030) – which provides federal funds for housing development and preservation activities for low income households; -Continuum of Care Grant Fund (2040) – (operated by Community Services & Parks) which provides federal funds for supportive services and/or Rapid Re- Housing, permanent, and innovative housing to assist homeless people achieve independence including Rapid Re- Housing, Permanent, and Innovative Supportive Housing;
-Affordable Housing Trust Fund (2090) – which holds funds received from inclusionary housing fees, affordable housing density bonus fees, and miscellaneous program income to be expended on affordable housing purposes not covered by other restricted state and federal housing funds; -BEGIN Affordable Homeownership Fund (2120) – which provides State funds for down payment assistance to first time home buyers who are Moderate Income households (currently invested in the Doran Gardens project); -LMIHAF Fund (2130) – which holds income and encumbered assets from previous 20% Redevelopment Set Aside funds for housing development and preservation activities (including administration and program delivery) for Low and Moderate Income households, in accordance with State law; 97 of 105

32 5
2 1
3 -Permanent Local Housing Allocation Fund (2280) – which receives state funds to use on housing-related projects and programs to address the unmet housing needs in the community; and
-Housing Mitigation Fee Fund (4110) – which will receive deposits from the Commercial Development Impact Fee and is a new fund set up for tracking and legal/reporting purposes.

The FY 24-25 proposed budget for each of the Housing Funds is summarized in attached Exhibit 1 and must be approved by the Housing Authority. For the Continuum of Care Grant Fund (2040), all of the FY 24-25 budget will be a carryover from the FY 23-24 budget due to the entire amount of the grant ($2,930,721) set to be appropriated in June 2024. The Housing Acquisition, Assistance and Services programs, previously funded by Measure S, will be appropriated as part of the City’s General Fund Budget.

Requirement for Findings Related to Former Redevelopment Areas:

Despite substantial changes to the sections of the California Law that apply to Redevelopment (including the dissolution of Redevelopment agencies), some elements of Redevelopment law remain. Redevelopment Project Areas were not eliminated and the requirement remains to approve proposed expenditures of the Redevelopment 20% Set Aside program income (LMIHAF) funds outside the project area as being necessary in order to increase, improve and preserve the supply of affordable housing within the City. Also, the requirement to approve the necessity and appropriateness of the expenditure of LMIHAF funds for administration and planning purposes remains as well.

This has been approved annually in previous year’s budgets and new City Council and Housing Authority resolutions are included in this report to meet those State requirements.

Information Regarding Section 8 HCV, VASH, EHV, and Mainstream Program Expenditures Review:

In preparing the Section 8 federal fund expenditures included in the FY 2024-25 proposed Housing Authority Budget, expenditures have been reviewed for conformance with HUD’s requirements under the Uniform Administrative requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit requirement for Federal Awards.

ANALYSIS
This is a fiscally responsible budget, meeting Council’s goal of providing quality housing to the Glendale community. The presented budget, findings, and contract amendment will allow the Housing division to continue to successfully administer a robust Housing program.
