COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for August 19, 2025 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents a set of targeted program proposals for City Council consideration to address housing affordability and stability for Glendale renters. The proposals respond to prior Council direction to focus on seniors, persons with disabilities, low-income households, and other high-need populations, while leveraging upcoming funding opportunities from the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA) and potential City of Glendale.

Three primary programs are proposed:
Housing Utility Assistance Program – In partnership with Glendale Water & Power (GWP), this program would expand or enhance the existing Glendale Care discount for low-income renters, offer new benefits for targeted groups, or provide a one-time arrears option to prevent shutoffs for qualifying households behind on GWP bills.
Low-Income Family Employment Rental Assistance Program (LIFERAP) – A rental subsidy paired with case management and vocational support for working families with children, proposed as a 6-month rolling model. Temporary Rental Assistance Program – A short-term, flexible rental subsidy 3 of 62

12 25-88504

aimed at preventing immediate eviction, which could also cover back-due rent in full or part, and mediate with landlords to keep tenants housed.

Council may also consider funding a small-scale pilot program for a very specific, underserved population, such as low-income households with disabled children or recently homeless seniors.

Multiple funding allocation scenarios are provided to show how the anticipated $2.1 million in LACAHSA Renter Protection and Homelessness Prevention (RPHP) funding could be distributed across these programs, including options that emphasize broad coverage, targeted assistance, or a balanced mix. Final allocations may be adjusted to comply with LACAHSA requirements once funding terms are finalized.

RECOMMENDATION
That City Council review the proposed Housing Utility Assistance Program, LIFERAP, Temporary Rental Assistance Program, and optional small-scale pilot initiative, and provide preliminary direction on which programs to advance for implementation.

Council may choose to:
Approve funding for one or more programs, with allocations determined based on priorities for reach, target population, and impact.
Direct staff to design a blended approach that funds multiple programs at varying levels to balance immediate eviction prevention, long-term stability, and broad utility cost relief.
Provide preliminary approval contingent on final LACAHSA funding terms, with the understanding that program design and scale may be adjusted to comply with any additional requirements (e.g., mandated allocations for legal services).

Staff further recommends maintaining flexibility in all program designs to allow adjustments in response to demand, funding constraints, and evolving community needs.

ANALYSIS
In June 2025, staff presented a comprehensive report outlining existing rental assistance efforts in Glendale and a range of conceptual program ideas for Council consideration. The report detailed existing programs both federally funded and locally developed initiatives, including Section 8, the Monthly Housing Subsidy Program (MHSP), LIFERAP, Low Income Student Rental Assistance Program (LISRAP), and Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP), along with an assessment of current gaps in coverage and unmet needs among Glendale’s renter population.

As part of that discussion, staff introduced multiple program concepts to address housing instability, including short-term rental subsidies, eviction prevention tools, 4 of 62

13 25-88504
6 2
6 0
relocation assistance for tenants in exempt units, and creative community-based models. While Council did not take action to fund a specific program at that time, members provided valuable guidance to help refine the City’s approach going forward.

Specifically, Council expressed interest in:
Programs that target seniors and individuals with disabilities, particularly those living on fixed incomes and facing high rent burdens;
Assistance models that address utility affordability and could be implemented in partnership with Glendale Water & Power (GWP);
Opportunities to build on the success of prior local programs, such as LIFERAP.

Staff were directed to return with more fully developed program models that reflect this feedback, included estimated budgets and implementation plans, and provided options that could be implemented either through outside funding or City resources.

Program Proposals
The proposed programs include:
Housing Utility Assistance Program
A utility subsidy program in partnership with GWP to help reduce housing-related costs for low-income renters, (Attachment 1). The program builds on the existing Glendale Care discount program and may include:
oExpanded participation by serving more households;
oIncreased monthly bill credits for existing recipients; oNew benefit for high-need renters (e.g., seniors, persons with disabilities); and
oOne-time arrears assistance to cover overdue GWP bills for tenants at risk of shutoff.
Low Income Family Employment Rental Assistance Program (LIFERAP) A rental assistance and case management program for low-income, working Glendale families with children. LIFERAP supports housing stability and economic self-sufficiency through vocational services, financial education, and monthly trainings, (Attachment 2).
5 of 62

14 25-88504

Temporary Rental Assistance Program
A flexible, short-term rental subsidy aimed at eviction prevention and emergency relief. This program can assist renters who have received eviction notices or are in the process of displacement. Assistance may include payment of back-due rent, or full/partial coverage of rent. The structure can be fixed or adaptable based on need and funding, (Attachment 3).

As part of its overall funding strategy, Council may also consider setting aside a modest amount of funding to support a very limited, highly targeted pilot program. This initiative could focus on a specific, underserved population—such as low-income households with disabled children, recently homeless seniors, or renters facing acute hardships— and provide tailored support on a trial basis.

The goal of this option would be to test a small-scale model that addresses a niche need not fully covered by the broader programs. Council could determine the scale, eligibility criteria, and form of assistance, with flexibility to expand or revise the approach based on results and available resources.

Council may choose to fund any single program or a combination of the above, allocating available dollars according to its goals. A blended approach can allow the City to address both immediate and long-term needs, reach diverse populations, and remain adaptable as program demand evolves.

If LACAHSA funds are used, all selected programs must comply with LACAHSA guidelines. LACAHSA-funded benefits must be provided in consecutive months, and oversight and auditing requirements may necessitate additional City staffing. LACAHSA may impose specific eligibility, reporting, or program design requirements that could limit or alter how these funds are used. As a result, some or all of the proposed programs may need to be modified to comply with final LACAHSA guidelines. Council direction should therefore be considered preliminary and flexible until funding terms are fully confirmed.

A cost and scale comparison of all program options is provided in Attachment 4 to support Council's decision-making.

LACAHSA Funding and Program Integration Opportunities
The recently approved LACAHSA funding presents a critical opportunity to launch new or enhanced support programs for vulnerable Glendale residents. Based on FY 2025– 26 estimates, Glendale is projected to receive approximately $2,105,698 under the RPHP category. An additional $356,167 may be available for Technical Assistance (TA) 6 of 62

15 25-88504
6 2
6 0
to support program administration and staffing. These allocations are distinct from other Measure A funding streams and will be distributed through a budget process coordinated with LACAHSA.

It is important to note that LACAHSA funding is not yet finalized and may come with additional requirements once fully approved. For example, current discussions at the County level include the possibility of requiring jurisdictions to allocate a fixed percentage of funding (e.g., 20%) toward attorney or legal services for tenants. While neither the percentage nor the requirement itself has been finalized, such conditions could affect the total amount available for direct assistance or alter program design. Staff will monitor developments and update Council as more information becomes available.

Council can provide preliminary approval for these programs now, with the understanding that final funding allocations or program details may need to be adjusted if LACAHSA requirements are adopted. Staff can begin work on any approved programs immediately, keeping flexibility in mind to ensure compliance with final funding conditions.

Funding Allocation Options
If Council elects to use the anticipated $2.1 million in LACAHSA RPHP funding, the allocation can be divided among multiple programs to maximize impact. The three primary programs under consideration include:
Housing Utility Assistance Program (including the arrears option for back-due GWP bills)
LIFERAP (modified to a 6-month rolling cohort model)
Temporary Rental Assistance Program (short-term, high-impact aid for eviction prevention)
Additionally, Council may choose to reserve funds for a small-scale pilot program targeting a specific high-need group (e.g., low-income households with disabled children, recently homeless seniors).

The chart below illustrates three example allocation scenarios using the $2.1 million funding total. These examples are intended to show the range of possible approaches and do not represent staff recommendations. Final program mix and funding levels may be adjusted based on Council priorities, demand, and any final LACAHSA funding requirements. We also have accompanying graphs illustrating these scenarios included as Attachment 5.

Conclusion
The programs presented in this report offer Council multiple pathways to address Glendale’s housing affordability challenges, building on the City’s history of targeted, high-impact assistance. By leveraging LACAHSA resources alongside potential local funding, the City can provide meaningful relief to low-income renters, prevent avoidable evictions, and support housing stability for vulnerable populations.

Whether implemented individually or in combination, these programs can be scaled to meet Council priorities and funding availability. With preliminary direction, staff can begin program development immediately, incorporating flexibility to adapt to final funding conditions and community feedback.

It is also important to note that the RPHP category discussed here is only one component of Glendale’s total anticipated LACAHSA allocation. Additional funding streams will be available for affordable housing development, homelessness services, and related initiatives. Council’s decisions on the programs in this report should be considered within the broader context of these other funding opportunities, as a coordinated approach across all categories will provide the greatest impact on housing stability and community well-being.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact will depend on the program(s) selected by City Council, the scale of implementation, and the final funding source(s). If funded through the anticipated $2.1 million in LACAHSA Renter Protection and Homelessness Prevention allocations, program costs could be covered without drawing on the City’s General Fund.

Example allocation scenarios included in Attachment 5 illustrate how this funding could be divided among the Housing Utility Assistance Program, LIFERAP, the Temporary Rental Assistance Program, and an optional small-scale pilot program. Depending on Council’s selected approach, direct assistance could range from serving several thousand households with modest monthly benefits to assisting a smaller number of households with higher-value, more intensive subsidies.

If LACAHSA funding is not used or is insufficient due to final requirements, Council could choose to use local funds to fully or partially implement these programs. Staff will return with a detailed budget and funding plan once program selections and funding sources are confirmed.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The preliminary selection of housing assistance programs is not a project “approval” under CEQA because it does not commit the City to a definite course of action with respect to any project that may have a significant effect on the environment. Further, the preliminary selection is not a “project” for CEQA purposes as the housing assistance programs would only be government funding mechanisms that do not involve commitment to any specific project which may have a significant effect on the environment, CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE

Attachment 1: Program Proposal: Housing Utility Assistance Program
Overview
The proposed Housing Utility Assistance Program would partner Community Development - Housing (Housing) with Glendale Water & Power (GWP) to reduce housing-related financial burdens for low-income senior and disabled renter households by subsidizing utility costs. The program builds on GWP’s existing Glendale Care discount program, providing additional financial support to vulnerable tenants not currently assisted by federal or deed-restricted housing programs.

Program Options
The proposed program would provide funding to expand or supplement Glendale Water & Power’s existing Glendale Care utility discount program, with an option on reaching renter households who are not currently eligible under GWP’s existing guidelines.

The program may be implemented in one or more of the following ways:
•Targeted New Group Assistance
Create a new benefit tier exclusively for renter populations identified by the City as high-need and currently underserved, such as:
oSeniors aged 62+ living in unsubsidized multifamily rental housing oPersons with disabilities
oTenants who are extremely or very low-income
•Expand Participation
Funding may be used to increase the total number of households GWP can serve, raising the participation cap (e.g., from 12,000 to 13,000 households annually).
•Increase Assistance Levels
Funding may also be directed toward enhancing the level of assistance for existing GWP Glendale Care participants. Council could choose to increase the monthly bill credit for all participants (e.g., from $35 to $55 or another amount), or alternatively, target only the most financially vulnerable households within the 12,000 participants currently served. For example, Council may choose to provide the increased benefit only to seniors, persons with disabilities, or households with the highest energy burdens. 12 of 62

Attachment 1 Page 2 of 7
This targeted approach would reduce overall program cost while directing additional support to residents with the greatest need. For instance, an across-the-board increase of $50 per household for 12,000 participants would cost approximately $1.8 million over three bills (12,000 × $50 × 3 bills), whereas targeting a smaller subset, such as 3,000 high-need households, would cost $450,000 over the same period.
•Arrears Assistance for Renters with Past-Due GWP Bills: In-lieu of or in addition to monthly bill discounts, Council may consider directing a portion of funds toward arrears assistance for qualified renters who are behind on their GWP bills. This one-time support could help prevent utility shutoffs, stabilize vulnerable households, and reduce barriers to ongoing participation in programs like Glendale Care.

All participants would be required to provide proof of income and residency. The application process would be administered by GWP, with support from Housing staff as needed. Applications would be available online or in paper format, and assistance would be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis while funds remain available. If funded through LACAHSA, documentation and eligibility verification requirements may differ from current Glendale Care standards, and the program may need to be adjusted to comply with those guidelines once finalized.

While Council may support general program enhancements through GWP’s existing Glendale Care structure, the following sections focus on the development of a Targeted New Group Assistance model. This option would allow Council to define its own eligibility criteria and provide utility bill support to renter households who are not currently served by existing programs. Details provided below include potential program structure, cost scenarios, and other considerations for Council.

Program Goals
Based on Council’s direction to prioritize support for vulnerable populations such as seniors and persons with disabilities, the Housing Utility Assistance Program is designed to reduce housing-related financial pressures and promote stability for low- income renter households. The program aims to achieve the following goals:
• Offset utility costs to reduce overall housing cost burden • Support aging in place for seniors on fixed incomes
• Stabilize rent-burdened tenants not covered by other assistance programs Target Population
13 of 62

Attachment 1 Page 3 of 7
The program can be designed to serve:
• Seniors aged 62 and older
• Persons with disabilities
• Glendale residents living in multifamily rental housing • Households classified as Very Low or Extremely Low Income per HUD standards
• Households not currently receiving Section 8 or living in deed-restricted affordable housing
Council has flexibility to refine or expand these eligibility criteria as needed. For example, the program could include other vulnerable populations, such as adults with dependent children who have disabilities, or households in specific high-burden neighborhoods.

Alternatively, eligibility could be narrowed to focus exclusively on seniors or persons with disabilities who meet the most stringent income thresholds. This flexibility allows Council to customize the program to address most need and leverage limited funding availability most effectively.

Program Design
The Utility Assistance Program can be structured in three complementary ways, depending on Council’s priorities. Each option offers a different method of supporting low-income renters through Glendale Water & Power (GWP) bill relief:

Targeted New Group Assistance
Council may choose to create a new benefit tier exclusively for renter populations identified as high-need and currently underserved. This could include:
• Seniors aged 62+ living in unsubsidized multifamily rental housing • Persons with disabilities
• Tenants who are extremely or very low-income
Participants would receive a fixed discount (e.g., $35 to $100) on each GWP bill for a defined period, such as up to three billing cycles (approximately six months) if funded through LACAHSA, or longer if funded locally. For context:
• The average multi-family GWP bill is approximately $132/month in FY 2025.
• For low-income households enrolled in Glendale Care, the average bill is about $97/month, and the current $35 monthly discount reduces the bill to approximately $62.
14 of 62

Attachment 1 Page 4 of 7
This new tier could help bridge the affordability gap for vulnerable renters not currently served by existing programs.

Expand Participation
Funding may be used to increase the total number of households that GWP can serve annually, raising the participation cap (e.g., from 12,000 to 13,000 households). This would allow more eligible low-income residents, to access bill assistance without changing the existing benefit structure.

Increase Assistance Levels
Funding can also be directed toward enhancing the level of assistance for existing Glendale Care participants. For example:
• Council could increase the monthly bill credit from $35 to $55 or more for all enrolled households; or
• Alternatively, only the most financially vulnerable households—such as seniors, people with disabilities, or those with the highest energy burdens—could receive the enhanced benefit.

Arrears Assistance
This option would offer one-time payments toward past-due GWP bills for eligible low- income renters, helping to prevent utility shutoffs and housing instability. Assistance could be capped or based on actual arrears and would require proof of financial hardship and tenancy. The program could be run alongside Glendale Care or as a separate track coordinated with Housing staff.

These four program directions can be implemented independently or combined based on available funding and Council goals.

Cost and Scale
The utility assistance program can be scaled to match available funding and policy goals. Council may choose to assist a smaller number of households with a modest benefit or reach more households with a deeper level of support. The following scenarios illustrate how the program could operate at three different levels of scale, low (500 participants), mid (1,500 participants), and high (3,000 participants), using various fixed monthly benefit amounts. These are just examples, Council could choose to assist 5,000 applicants if funding permits. These estimates assume a six-month program duration and a bi-monthly billing cycle. Administrative costs are not included in the figures below but may be minimal if the program is integrated into GWP’s existing operations.

H 3,000 $50 $150 $450,000
I 3,000 $100 $300 $900,000
Notes:
• These estimates assume a fixed benefit applied to each GWP bill, issued every two months.
• Actual costs may vary slightly depending on participation levels and administrative needs.
• Administrative costs are not included here
• GWP residential customers are billed every two months. LACAHSA funding limits utility assistance to a six-month period, which effectively translates to three GWP billing cycles
Additional Cost Considerations: Expand Participation & Increase Assistance Levels
If Council chooses to expand participation in the existing Glendale Care program (without creating a new eligibility group), the cost can be estimated using a simple formula: $35 multiplied by the number of new participants, multiplied by six of billing cycles. For reference, Scenarios A, D, and G in the table above reflect estimated costs for serving an additional 500, 1,500, and 3,000 households, respectively, at a $35 benefit level.

For increasing assistance levels for existing Glendale Care participants (currently approximately 12,000 households), costs will depend on the amount of the increase per household. For example, raising the monthly benefit by $50 would result in an estimated cost of:
12,000 households × $50 × 6 bills = $3.6 million
As mentioned earlier, Council may also choose to target a subset of the 12,000 participants, such as seniors or residents with the highest energy burdens. For example, 16 of 62

Attachment 1 Page 6 of 7
increasing assistance by $50 for 3,000 high-need households would result in a cost of $900,000 over six months. This approach provides general guidance for scaling funding based on Council’s preferred depth and reach of support.

Program Administration
The Housing Utility Assistance Program would be administered GWP, leveraging its existing infrastructure for application intake, eligibility verification, and billing adjustments. GWP’s current Glendale Care program already has established systems in place to process applications and apply utility discounts directly to customer accounts, which makes it well positioned to manage this benefit with minimal additional administrative overhead.

The Community Development Department would partner with GWP to assist with eligibility coordination, program oversight, and outreach efforts, ensuring that the City’s target populations are effectively reached. Community Development staff could also play a role in refining eligibility criteria, monitoring program data, and reporting outcomes to Council.

Application intake and processing would be handled primarily by GWP staff, using both its online application portal and paper submission methods to ensure accessibility for all applicants, including seniors or those who may lack internet access. Program materials, instructions, and multilingual outreach campaigns could be coordinated jointly by GWP and Community Development to maximize awareness.

Because this program builds on an existing GWP framework, no significant additional staffing is anticipated for a pilot or mid-scale rollout. However, if the program expands to thousands of new households or involves complex eligibility screening, GWP and the Community Development Department may revisit staffing and resource needs to ensure timely processing and customer support.

Funding Source
The Housing Utility Assistance Program would require a dedicated funding source to cover the cost of subsidies, as GWP funds cannot be used for this purpose. GWP’s revenues are restricted therefore cannot legally or feasibly be allocated to provide additional assistance. As a result, any City contribution would need to come from external or local funding sources, such as LACAHSA funds or the City’s General Fund.

LACAHSA Funding
LACAHSA is expected to begin allocating funds in FY 2025–26 for various rental programs of which rent and utility subsidies are allowed. If Council chooses to fund this program through LACAHSA, the assistance structure would need to be temporary, capped at 6 months per participant, as this is the maximum duration allowed under 17 of 62

Attachment 1 Page 7 of 7
LACAHSA guidelines. For a utility program, this translates to three GWP billing periods before the assistance ends, unless a new funding source is identified. This limitation means that LACAHSA funding would be best suited for a pilot or time-limited initiative.

City General Fund
Alternatively, Council could choose to fund the program using the City’s General Fund, either as a pilot project or as part of a longer-term utility assistance strategy. Using General Fund dollars would provide greater flexibility in program design, including longer durations of assistance, adjustable benefit levels, and continued support beyond the one-year sunset period mandated by LACAHSA. However, this would require a Council-approved budget allocation and may compete with other City priorities.

Council may also consider a blended approach, using LACAHSA funds to initiate a short-term pilot while evaluating long-term feasibility and transitioning to General Fund support if the program proves successful and meets community needs.

Next Steps
Council direction is requested on whether to move forward with the Housing Utility Assistance Program as one of several program options under consideration. If Council selects this option, key decisions will include:
• Whether to pursue a Targeted New Group Assistance model, expand the existing Glendale Care program, or implement a hybrid approach. • Determining the benefit amount (e.g., $35, $50, $100) and the number of households to assist (e.g., 500, 1,500, 3,000).
• Selecting the funding source (LACAHSA, General Fund, or both), and whether to begin with a pilot program before expanding. • Adjusting eligibility criteria (e.g., age, disability status, or other vulnerable groups) to ensure alignment with Council priorities.

Attachment 2: Low Income Family Employment & Rental
Assistance Program (LIFERAP)
Overview
LIFERAP is administered by the Verdugo Jobs Center (VJC) to provide housing and employment assistance to low-income, working families residing in Glendale. The program is designed to offer rental subsidies alongside employment training, education support, and other individualized goals identified jointly by each family and their case manager. The overarching objective is to help families build long-term financial independence by the end of their participation.

Core program components include vocational case management and time-limited rental assistance, enabling participants to improve employment advancement, training, education, and savings. While the program is traditionally structured as a 12-month intervention, it would need to be modified to a 6-month model if funded through LACAHSA due to funding restrictions.

Program Goals
Prevent displacement of working families living in Glendale Increase household income through career advancement or training Build savings capacity and improve long-term housing stability Provide comprehensive case management and life-skills training Target Population
Target Population
LIFERAP is currently designed to serve low-income, working Glendale families with children. Participants must meet the following eligibility criteria:
Household income must be at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Los Angeles County
At least one member of the household must be a minor child under 18 Household must reside in Glendale
At least one adult must be a legal U.S. resident
At least one adult must be working a minimum of 32 hours per week, unless all adults in the household are disabled
Family must be living independently (not in shared housing) The unit must pass a basic habitability inspection
Applicants must demonstrate willingness to participate in vocational case management and commit to employment, training, or education goals 19 of 62

Attachment 2 Page 2 of 5
Program Flexibility
While these are the current eligibility criteria, Council may choose to modify the target population or eligibility structure to meet emerging local needs or priorities. For example, Council could expand the program to serve seniors without rental assistance, very low-income households without children, or households with documented financial hardship due to job loss or medical issues. Alternatively, multiple populations could be served under a single program framework. Any such changes would need to comply with LACAHSA requirements if LACAHSA funds are used as the primary funding source.

Program Design
LIFERAP provides time-limited rental assistance and individualized vocational case management to support income growth and long-term housing stability. The core design elements include:
Subsidy Structure: Participants receive monthly rental assistance for up to 12 months. If funded through LACAHSA, the assistance period would be limited to 6 months to comply with program restrictions. The subsidy amount is based on family need, income, and housing costs, with the goal of allowing families to redirect funds toward education, training, savings, and other stability-focused activities.
Case Management: Participants are paired with a vocational case manager who helps them identify career goals, develop a plan, and connect to training, education, or job opportunities. Families also receive referrals and access to monthly workshops on budgeting, financial literacy, career development, and tenant rights.
Eligibility Screening: All applicants are screened for income and employment eligibility, housing status, and willingness to engage in case management.

Inspections are conducted to ensure housing meets minimum standards. Application Process: The Verdugo Jobs Center (VJC) leads all outreach, intake, and administration. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with program slots filled based on availability and eligibility. Flexible Design: The program is designed to be adaptable. Council may revise the duration, benefit amount, or eligibility criteria to meet specific community needs, provided changes align with funding requirements (e.g., LACAHSA rules).

Cost and Scale
20 of 62

Attachment 2 Page 3 of 5
When LIFERAP was last operated as a 12-month program, it served 95 Glendale families over a three-year period with a total program cost of approximately $1.315 million. This included:
$864,755 in direct housing subsidies (average of $9,103 per household) $201,620 for case management provided by GYA
$17,500 for program administration by VJC
Enrollment was phased over four years:
Year 1: 25 households
Year 2: 38 households
Year 3: 32 households
Year 4: 10 households (served through reallocated GCC contract funds to GYA in PY 2024–25)
While over 700 families applied, only 105 were enrolled, highlighting the program’s high demand and targeted scope.

If Council is interested in continuing a similar program structure under LACAHSA, the funding limitation of 6 months per household would require adjusting both the scope and scale.

To align with LACAHSA’s restriction of 6 months of direct financial assistance per household, the program can adopt a rolling assistance structure, supporting two rounds of 25 families per year. This structure allows for sustained engagement while complying with the funding timeline.
Round 1: 25 households receive rental assistance for 6 months Round 2: A new cohort of 25 households begins after the first group completes This would provide time-limited rental assistance to 50 households annually, while maintaining manageable caseloads for case managers and ensuring compliance with LACAHSA’s timeline restrictions.
Estimated cost for each 6-month round (25 households):
o$1,000/month per household × 6 months = $150,000 in subsidies oGYA case management (scaled to 6 months): ~$65,000
oVJC administrative costs (scaled to 6 months): ~$8,750 oTotal per round: ~$223,750
21 of 62

Attachment 2 Page 4 of 5
oTotal Annually: ~447,500
While the rental assistance would be limited to 6 months, the City could design the program to continue vocational case management, job placement support, and educational services for an additional 6 months. This would extend the total program engagement to a full year, maximizing long-term impact without exceeding LACAHSA’s financial assistance window.

Participants could be required to remain actively engaged in follow-up case management activities such as:
Career training or education programs
Financial planning workshops
Periodic check-ins with employment specialists or housing navigators This would preserve the holistic and outcomes-focused nature of the original LIFERAP model while adapting to LACAHSA’s funding framework.

Oversight and Staffing Needs
If funded with LACAHSA dollars, the City will need to meet oversight, audit, and reporting requirements. This may necessitate:
Additional hourly staffing or reallocation of duties within the Housing Division Potential hiring of a dedicated staff member for compliance, reporting, or case support
Enhanced coordination with VJC and GYA to ensure documentation and service delivery align with LACAHSA’s standards
Program Administration
The LIFERAP program would be administered through a partnership between the Verdugo Jobs Center (VJC), Glendale Youth Alliance (GYA), and the Community Development – Housing Division.
VJC would serve as the lead administrator, review eligibility, and overall program coordination.
GYA would conduct outreach, recruitment, interview, eligibility determination, inspections, provide vocational case management, including support with employment, training, financial planning, and access to community resources.

Case management may continue for up to 6 months after rental assistance ends to support long-term stability.
22 of 62

Attachment 2 Page 5 of 5
City Housing Staff would oversee final eligibility determination, authorize subsidy payments, and ensure compliance with all applicable program and funding requirements. If LACAHSA funding is used, additional oversight and reporting duties may require reallocation of staff or limited-term support.

This collaborative model mirrors past LIFERAP operations and supports a high-touch approach to addressing housing and employment needs.

Funding Sources
If the City Council chooses to continue LIFERAP using LACAHSA funds, the program must be adapted to a 6-month rental assistance timeline to comply with funding restrictions. Program costs may be covered using a portion of Glendale’s RPHP allocation. Alternatively, the program could be funded in whole or in part by the City’s General Fund.

Next Steps
To move forward, Council will need to provide direction on the following:
Whether to continue or relaunch the LIFERAP program, either in its original form or as a modified 6-month version aligned with LACAHSA funding restrictions.
Whether to fund the program using LACAHSA funds, General Fund dollars, or a combination of both.
Target population priorities—whether to maintain the existing focus on working families with children or expand to include other groups (e.g., seniors, single- parent households, or extremely low-income renters).
Whether to require continued case management or support services beyond the 6-month rental assistance period.

Following Council direction, staff will work with program partners to finalize the design, prepare necessary contracts, and return for formal approval. Budget scenarios are summarized in Attachment 4.

Attachment 3: Program Proposal – Temporary Rental Assistance Program
Overview
The proposed Temporary Rental Assistance Program would provide targeted, high- dollar rental subsidies to highly vulnerable renter households experiencing significant financial hardship. This program is designed as a short-term intervention to stabilize households facing acute challenges, such as loss of income, unexpected medical expenses, or other hardships, that have created significant challenges in meeting their rental obligations.

This program would focus on a small number of households to allow staff to provide personalized, hands-on support and ensure that the financial assistance is impactful enough to make households current on rent or prevent eviction. The program is intended as a pilot project, allowing staff and City Council (Council) to assess its effectiveness before considering expansion.

Program Goals
Based on Council’s interest in supporting the most vulnerable residents, the Temporary Rental Assistance Program is designed to:
Prevent eviction or displacement by covering overdue rent or upcoming rental payments.
Stabilize households that have experienced a verified financial hardship. Provide a meaningful level of assistance (e.g., $1,000 to $3,000/month) to bridge significant gaps rather than provide minimal support. Pilot a targeted, high-touch approach, with staff working directly with recipients to connect them to additional resources (financial counseling, long- term housing stability programs).

Target Population
Unlike LIFERAP, which serves working families over an extended 12-month period, the Temporary Rental Assistance Program is designed to be more flexible and responsive to urgent housing needs. The program would prioritize low-income renter households in Glendale who are at immediate risk of eviction or displacement due to unforeseen financial hardship.

Eligibility can be tailored to meet Council’s priorities. While the program may initially focus on households with an active eviction case or rental arrears, Council can expand 24 of 62

Attachment 3 Page 2 of 5
or refine eligibility to target specific groups, such as seniors, persons with disabilities, families with children, or other vulnerable populations. Requirements such as proof of eviction filing, landlord notices, or hardship documentation can be included to ensure that the program is reaching those most in need.

Within this requirement, the program can prioritize:
Seniors (62+) with no existing rental assistance
Low-income families, particularly those with children or dependents Households classified as Very Low or Extremely Low Income per HUD standards Households not receiving Section 8 or living in deed-restricted affordable housing Council can adjust eligibility to prioritize certain groups, such as families with disabled children, single-parent households, or seniors with medical needs.

This flexibility makes the program highly adaptable and capable of addressing acute situations without duplicating LIFERAP’s longer-term, workforce-focused model.

Program Design
This program is intended as a short-term, emergency intervention. Key features include:
Purpose: Designed to prevent immediate eviction by covering back rent, upcoming rent, or both—depending on need and available funding. Benefit Model: Subsidy amounts may be fixed or adjustable depending on household income, arrears owed, or time needed to secure stability. Council may also opt for a flat-rate benefit (e.g., $2,000 one-time) or tiered levels based on need.
Documentation: Participants may be required to provide proof of financial hardship, eviction notice, or a rent demand letter. Staff may coordinate directly with landlords to negotiate payment arrangements and mediate disputes. Use Cases: The program could be deployed for crisis situations—buying tenants time to avoid eviction, resolve legal disputes, or transition to other housing options or long-term assistance programs.
Duration: While ongoing monthly assistance is limited to a 6-month period under LACAHSA guidelines, one-time or lump-sum payments toward back rent are not subject to that limitation. The program can be used to pay substantial unpaid rent balances to prevent eviction, cover up to 6 months of forward rent, or a combination of both, depending on household need and risk of housing loss. 25 of 62

Attachment 3 Page 3 of 5
Cost and Scale
Costs for the Temporary Rental Assistance Program will vary depending on whether the subsidy is a set monthly amount (e.g., $1,000–$3,000 per household) or a flexible amount tailored to the tenant’s actual rent or amount owed.

For example:
A set monthly subsidy of $2,000 for 6 months could serve:
o25 households for approximately $300,000
o50 households for approximately $600,000
A flexible model could allow:
oSome tenants to receive a one-time payment for back rent totaling $5,000–$10,000
oOthers to receive partial or full rent coverage depending on urgency, pending eviction status, or household income
Given the higher monthly benefit levels, the program is intentionally designed for fewer participants to keep costs manageable and ensure deeper support per household. The table below provides sample scenarios for a 6-month pilot, serving between 25 and 50 households.

Scenario Households
Served
Monthly
Benefit
Total Benefit (6
months)
Estimated Total
Cost
A 25 $1,000 $6,000 $150,000
B 25 $2,000 $12,000 $300,000
C 25 $3,000 $18,000 $450,000
D 50 $1,000 $6,000 $300,000
E 50 $2,000 $12,000 $600,000
F 50 $3,000 $18,000 $900,000
At these higher levels of support, the estimated costs for a 6-month program would be approximately:
100 households:
o$1,000/month = $600,000 total (100 × $1,000 × 6 months) o$3,000/month = $1.8 million total (100 × $3,000 × 6 months) 200 households:
o$1,000/month = $1.2 million total (200 × $1,000 × 6 months) 26 of 62

Attachment 3 Page 4 of 5
o$3,000/month = $3.6 million total (200 × $3,000 × 6 months) Considering that Glendale’s LACAHSA allocation is roughly $2 million, a program at the higher $3,000/month level for 200 households would exceed available funding unless additional resources (e.g., General Fund) are identified. This larger rollout would still maintain a targeted, high-touch approach while reaching a greater number of residents.

If council considers a flexible ren assistance based on each households actual rent obligation, precise per-person costs will fluctuate because rent amounts and arrears vary by household. However, based on previous modeling, total costs are expected to remain in a similar range as the fixed-subsidy scenarios.

To simplify administration and budgeting, Council may choose to authorize a set funding amount (e.g., $500,000 or $1 million) and direct staff to serve as many eligible households as possible within that budget. This approach allows flexibility while maintaining fiscal discipline.

Program Administration
The program would be administered by the Community Development – Housing Division, but due to the intensive, high-touch nature of this assistance, additional staff capacity will likely be necessary to manage application review, case management, and follow-up. While existing staff can support program setup and oversight, the workload involved in evaluating hardship, coordinating payments, and providing hands-on guidance might require dedicated staffing resources to ensure the program’s success. Case Management: Staff would work closely with each recipient to review their financial situation, verify hardship, and determine the appropriate level of support. This includes direct communication with applicants, landlords, and partner organizations to ensure timely and effective assistance. Application Process: Applications will be available online and in paper format, with in-person or phone support for seniors or households with language or technology barriers.
Targeted Outreach: Outreach will involve close collaboration with local nonprofits, senior centers, and community organizations to identify eligible households and provide hands-on assistance.
Staffing Needs: Even with a small-scale pilot (25–50 households), the detailed verification and follow-up required would strain existing staff capacity. A larger rollout (100–200 households or more) will almost certainly require additional staffing, potentially including hourly support, reallocation of current staff or the 27 of 62

Attachment 3 Page 5 of 5
creation of at least one full-time case management position. The level of staffing needed will depend on Council’s expectations regarding the program’s depth, data tracking, and individualized support.

Funding Sources
The Temporary Rental Assistance Program will be funded through LACAHSA funds, the City’s General Fund, or a combination of both:
LACAHSA Funds: Available in FY 2025–26, limited to 6 months of assistance. City General Fund: Could be used to fund a pilot program or extend assistance beyond 6 months.
Blended Approach: Using LACAHSA funds to launch a small pilot while planning for potential General Fund support if the program demonstrates strong outcomes.

Next Steps
Council direction is requested on whether to move forward with this Temporary Rental Assistance Program. If Council chooses to proceed, key decisions will include:
Determining the structure of assistance, including whether to offer fixed monthly subsidies, flexible rent coverage, or back due rent payments. Setting the overall program budget and deciding whether to allocate a fixed amount to serve as many eligible households as possible. Defining the number of households to assist or allowing staff flexibility based on need and available funding.
Selecting the funding source(s)- LACAHSA, General Fund, or a combination. Establishing eligibility guidelines, including hardship criteria, documentation requirements, and priority populations (e.g., households in active eviction proceedings, seniors, families with children, etc.).

This program can be designed to meet urgent needs and complement longer-term programs like LIFERAP. Staff can return with a detailed implementation plan following Council direction.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA
REPORT TO THE JOINT MEETING: GLENDALE CITY COUNCIL AND

GLENDALE HOUSING AUTHORITY

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Authorization to Enter Into a Memorandum of Understanding With the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency for the Disbursement of Measure A Funds for Affordable Housing in Glendale

1. City Council Motion to Authorizing the Execution of a Memorandum of Understanding With the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency for the Disbursement of Measure A Funds for Affordable Housing in Glendale.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for August 19, 2025 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Senate Bill 679, also known as the Los Angeles County Regional Housing Finance Act, created the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA) to increase the supply of affordable housing in Los Angeles County by providing funding for renter protections, affordable housing preservation, and new affordable housing production. In 2024, Los Angeles County voters approved Measure A, a half-cent sales tax to fund homeless services and affordable housing development throughout the County, via LACAHSA.

To receive funding, each Eligible Jurisdiction, which includes the City of Glendale, must enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with LACAHSA. By executing the MOU, the City of Glendale agrees to adopt and adhere to LACAHSA’s Master Funding Policy and Guidelines, and any other policies and guidelines adopted by LACAHSA related to the disbursement of funds to, or use of funds by, Eligible Jurisdictions.

According to projections, the City of Glendale is expected to be eligible to receive approximately $5.1M in FY 2025-26. This is in addition to $464,507 in Local Solutions Funds that the City will be receiving for Homeless Services. These funding amounts will be subject to change every year, based upon consumer spending in the County. 31 of 62

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council of the City of Glendale (City Council) enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the LACAHSA for the purposes of receiving Measure A affordable housing funding for the City of Glendale.

ANALYSIS
Background
In 2022, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 679, the Los Angeles County Regional Housing Finance Act which created the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency. LACAHSA’s purpose is to increase the supply of affordable housing in Los Angeles County by providing for significantly enhanced funding and technical assistance at a regional level for renter protections, affordable housing preservation, and new affordable housing production.

In 2024, Los Angeles County voters approved Measure A, a half-cent sales tax to fund homeless services and affordable housing development throughout the County.

Measure A has no expiration date. The tax replaces Measure H, a quarter-cent sales tax for homeless services approved by voters in 2017. The goal of Measure A is to significantly reduce and prevent homelessness in Los Angeles County. Measure A is expected to generate over $1 billion in revenue annually.

Just over one third (35.75%) of revenues generated by Measure A will be directed to LACAHSA for affordable housing production and preservation, renter protection and homelessness prevention, and technical assistance. LACAHSA, in turn, must pass through 70% of this funding directly to Eligible Jurisdictions.

Eligible Jurisdictions are the County of Los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles, the City of Long Beach, the City of Glendale, the City of Santa Clarita, and the Councils of Government (COGs) in Los Angeles County. COGs may pass through funding to their member cities, except to cities that are Eligible Jurisdictions that receive allocations directly from LACAHSA. COGs may also allocate funding to regional housing trusts as approved by the LACAHSA Board of Directors. This action has been taken with the Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena Regional Housing Trust. Finally Eligible Jurisdictions may opt for LACAHSA to administer their funding allocation in whole or in part, as outlined in these Program Guidelines.

Memorandum of Understanding
To receive funding, each Eligible Jurisdiction must enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with LACAHSA. By executing the MOU, the City of Glendale agrees to adopt and adhere to LACAHSA’s Master Funding Policy and Guidelines, and any other policies and guidelines adopted by LACAHSA related to the disbursement of funds to, or use of funds by, Eligible Jurisdictions.

The term of this MOU is one year starting on the Effective Date. The term will automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless either party provides the 32 of 62

6 2
6 2
other party with a written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the then-current term.

Funding Allocation
When taken together, SB 679 and Measure A require the following distribution of funding by programmatic use:
• 60% for Production, Preservation, & Ownership (PPO), of which 77.25% is set aside for new construction.
• 30% for Renter Protection and Homelessness Prevention (RPHP) • 5% for Technical Assistance (TA)
• 5% for LACAHSA’s internal administration and operations SB 679 and Measure A also dictate how LACAHSA funds are distributed between LACAHSA and the Eligible Jurisdictions:
• 15% of programmatic funds are allocated annually at the discretion of the LACAHSA Board
Of the remaining programmatic funds:
30% of programmatic funds are allocated to LACAHSA
70% of programmatic funds are allocated to the Eligible Jurisdictions Measure A is expected to generate over $1 billion in revenue annually, 35.75% of which will be directed to LACAHSA for affordable housing production, preservation, and renter protection services. The remainder of Measure A funds will be directed towards the region’s comprehensive homelessness services initiatives.

According to Measure A Section 3B.4, the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller will distribute 35.75% of the Measure A sales tax to LAHCASA, net of County costs to collect and distribute the tax imposed not to exceed 0.5% of annual tax proceeds.

To estimate Measure A revenues for FY 2025-26, a projection was published by the Los Angeles County Chief Executive Office on February 28, 2025, which estimated total revenues of $1,076,076,350. Of this total, $382,773,809 is the anticipated 35.75% share for LACAHSA, after allowing for a 0.5% for collection and distribution cost reimbursement to the County Auditor-Controller.

A listing of the full projected allocation of this funding is attached as Exhibit 2. The allocations presented in this exhibit only correspond to LACAHSA’s 35.75% share and are not inclusive of other Measure A funding streams such as comprehensive homelessness services funding; accountability, data, and research funding for the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative; and local housing production funding for the Los Angeles County Development Authority.

According to projections, the City of Glendale is expected to be eligible to receive approximately $5.1M in FY 2025-26. This is in addition to $464,507 in Local Solutions Funds that the City will be receiving for Homeless Services. These funding amounts will be subject to change every year, based upon consumer spending in the County.

Programs

2,646,544$ 2,105,698$ 350,950$ 5,103,192$ Production Preservation and Ownership (PPO) allows for the creation of new affordable housing and/or preservation of existing affordable housing, both rental and homeownership.
Renter Protection and Homeless Prevention (RPHP) is intended to address housing crises and stabilize households who are at risk of eviction and/or homelessness.

Example programs include Legal Services and Tenant Education, Emergency Rental Assistance, Flexible Financial Assistance, and Short-Term Income Support. Technical Assistance (TA) is funding to administer LACAHSA funded programming either directly or through contracted service providers.

Next Steps
Approval of the MOU is the first of a 3-step process to move money down to the Eligible Jurisdictions. The next step is for LACAHSA to provide a budget template to Glendale.

Glendale staff intends to bring the budget template to the City Council for approval and then return it to LACAHSA. The final step is taken by LACAHSA later this summer where the LACAHSA Board will vote on guidelines for the programs for the fiscal year.

Funding drawdowns can take place following those actions.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
No stakeholder outreach was obtained for this report.

FISCAL IMPACT
Entering into a Memorandum of Understanding with LACAHSA is the first step in the process to secure a new funding source for affordable housing development and 34 of 62

programming in Glendale.

A new fund, Measure A Affordable Housing (Fund 2290), has been established by the Finance department for these funds. Once the final agreement is executed, and there are approved plans for a proposed affordable housing project/program, staff will return to City Council for appropriation of these funds.

Execution of the MOU is exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because the MOU only creates government funding mechanisms for affordable housing and does not involve commitment to any specific project which may have a significant effect on the environment.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTION, PRESERVATION,
AND OWNERSHIP; TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, RESEARCH AND POLICY; AND

RENTER PROTECTION AND HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION FUNDING

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

Glendale 2025-2026
This Affordable Housing Production, Preservation, and Ownership; Technical Assistance, Research and Policy; and Renter Protection and Homelessness Prevention Funding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), effective July 1, 2025 (“Effective Date”), is between the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency, a special act agency established pursuant to Government Code section 64710 and operating pursuant to the Los Angeles County Regional Housing Finance Act, Government Code section 64700 et seq. (“Agency”), and Glendale, a California City Charter (“Recipient”), each individually a “Party” and collectively the “Parties.”

RECITALS
This MOU is made with reference to the following facts:

A. In September 2022, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 679, known as the Los Angeles County Regional Housing Finance Act (“Act”). The Act created Agency to increase the supply of affordable housing by providing enhanced funding and technical assistance for renter protections, affordable housing preservation, and new affordable housing production.

B. In November 2024, Los Angeles County voters approved “Measure A,” known as the Affordable Housing, Homelessness Solutions, and Prevention Now Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance. Measure A established a one-half percent sales tax on every dollar of goods sold in Los Angeles County to provide dedicated funding for various purposes, including reducing and preventing homelessness and increasing the supply of affordable housing.

C. Measure A directs the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller (“County Auditor- Controller”) to disburse 35.75% of the proceeds generated to Agency for use in accordance with the Act’s and Measure A’s requirements through fiscal year 2029-2030 (and thereafter, such percentage may be modified by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors every five years, except that such percentage may not be less than 33.33%).

These include, among other things, that: Agency use 60% of its Measure A funds for affordable housing production, preservation, and ownership (“PPO”) (Gov. Code, § 64830(d)(1); Measure A, § 29(B)); that Agency use 5% of its Measure A funds for technical assistance, research, and policy development (“Technical Assistance”) (Gov. Code, § 64830(d)(4)); and that Agency use 30% of its Measure A funds for Renter Protection and Homelessness Prevention (“RPHP”) (Gov. Code, § 64830(d)(2)).

D. The Act requires Agency’s Board to adopt an Annual Expenditure and Strategy Plan, which must set forth the share of revenue and estimated funding to be spent on each of the above- stated categories (“Annual Expenditure and Strategy Plan”). Agency’s Board adopted the first Annual Expenditure and Strategy Plan on June 25, 2025 (and it is anticipated that 37 of 62

-2-
the Board will adopt subsequent Annual Expenditure and Strategy Plans on an annual basis). The Annual Expenditure and Strategy Plan establishes the proportional amount of revenues and estimated funding that Agency will distribute to Recipient and each of the other “Eligible Jurisdictions” (as defined herein) for each funding category. Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, contains the allocations as approved by Agency’s Board in the Annual Expenditure and Strategy Plan.

E. Of the funds allocated for PPO, Agency must disburse 70% of such funds to Eligible Jurisdictions in accordance with each jurisdiction’s pro rata share of the total lower income housing needs assessment goal for Los Angeles County allocated pursuant to Government Code section 65584 (“Pro Rata RHNA Share”). (Gov. Code, § 64830.5(a)(1)(A)-(F), (a)(2)(A)(i).).

F. Each Eligible Jurisdiction and its Pro Rata RHNA Share is provided in Exhibit A.

Recipient’s Pro Rata RHNA Share for 2025-2026 is 0.69%.

G. Of the funds allocated for Technical Assistance, Agency must disburse 70% of such funds to Eligible Jurisdictions on a per low-income renter basis. (Gov. Code, § 64830.5(a)(1)(A)- (F), (a)(2)(C)(i)) (“Technical Assistance Allocation”).

H. Each Eligible Jurisdiction and its Technical Assistance Allocation is provided in Exhibit A,. Recipient’s Technical Assistance Allocation is 0.09%.

I. Of the funds allocated for RPHP, Agency must disburse 70% of such funds to Eligible Jurisdictions. Agency has elected to make such disbursement based on a per low-income renter basis. (Gov. Code, § 64830.5(a)(1)(A)-(F), (a)(2)(B)(i)) (“RPHP Allocation”). Each Eligible Jurisdiction and its RPHP Allocation is provided in Exhibit A. Recipient’s RPHP Allocation is 0.55%.

J. The Act and Measure A provide that Eligible Jurisdictions may receive their respective Pro Rata RHNA Share of PPO funds, Technical Assistance Allocation, and RPHP Allocation directly from Agency, provided that direct allocations are subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Act and Measure A for the receipt and use of the funds.

K. The Parties have entered into this MOU to comply with the Act and Measure A and memorialize the terms and conditions governing the disbursement and use of Recipient’s Pro Rata RHNA Share of PPO funds, Technical Assistance Allocation, and RPHP Allocation.

-7-

The foregoing shall be maintained on file by Recipient for at least five years after the expiration or termination of this MOU and made available to Agency upon request.

11.3.Audit Requirements. Agency shall contract for an annual audit, to be initiated within six months after the end of the fiscal year being audited, for the purpose of determining Recipient’s compliance with this MOU, the Act, and Measure A. Upon completion of the annual audit, Agency will provide Recipient with a copy thereof.

13. Indemnification. Recipient agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by Agency) and hold harmless Agency and its board members, officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers, at Recipient’s sole expense, from and against any and all claims actions, losses, damages, liability, and/or legal proceedings brought against Agency, its board members, officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers arising out of Recipient’s performance of, or lack of performance of, any of its obligations under this MOU.

14. Dispute Resolution; Breach and Remedies.

14.1.Avoidance of Disputes. The Parties recognize that, as public agencies that are mutually interested in the efficient and effective use of Measure A revenues to prevent homelessness and increase access to affordable housing, the Parties desire to avoid legal disputes related to this MOU or to the pass-down and expenditure of Measure A revenues. The Parties therefore commit to make their respective best efforts to work collaboratively and cohesively to address questions of eligible uses or other compliance-related issues prior to the issue rising to the level of a dispute.

14.2.Dispute Resolution. Except as otherwise provided below, before proceeding in accordance with Sections 14.3 and 14.4, the Parties will attempt to informally resolve any disputes that arise from the application or interpretation of this MOU.

The aggrieved Party shall notify the other Party of its intent to invoke this dispute resolution procedure within 10 business days after such dispute arises. If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute within 10 business days after delivery of such notice, each Party shall, within five business days thereafter, nominate a senior officer of its management to meet at a mutually agreed location to resolve the dispute. If the dispute remains unresolved within 10 business days after such a meeting, each Party, without further delay, shall have the right to proceed in accordance with 43 of 62

-8-
Sections 14.3 and 14.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 14.2 does not apply to a dispute involving Recipient’s alleged misuse or misappropriation of funds in violation of the Act, Measure A, or other applicable laws.

14.3.Recipient’s Breach. Recipient shall be in breach under this MOU if it fails to perform or satisfy any obligation or requirement set forth herein, or if it fails to comply with the Agency’s established policies and guidelines, the Act, Measure A or other applicable law. If such violation is subject to cure, it shall be deemed a breach of this MOU after 60 calendar days of receiving written notice from Agency.

14.4.Remedies.

14.4.1. Recipient’s sole remedy shall be to institute an action at law or equity to seek specific performance of the terms of this MOU. Recipient shall not be entitled to recover damages for any breach by Agency hereunder. For clarity, this Section allows for Recipient to obtain a court order to receive disbursement of Agency funds that Recipient is legally entitled to receive or to obtain a declaration of rights among the Parties under the law or this MOU.

14.4.2. If Agency alleges that Recipient has misused or misappropriated funds in violation of the Act, Measure A, or both, Agency may institute an action at law or equity to pursue all available legal or equitable remedies without providing a period for cure. In addition to the foregoing, Agency may pause disbursements of PPO funds, Technical Assistance funds, and/or RPHP funds to Recipient until such time as Agency reasonably determines that Recipient is complying with this MOU or a court of competent jurisdiction orders Agency to resume disbursing PPO funds, Technical Assistance funds, and/or RPHP funds to Recipient.

15. Most Favored Nation. Recipient acknowledges that Agency receives Measure A revenues for the purpose of passing through funding to multiple Eligible Jurisdictions throughout the County of Los Angeles and that each Eligible Jurisdiction, including Recipient, benefits from terms that ensure that another Eligible Jurisdiction (or its Subrecipients or contractors) does not take actions against Agency that would put Agency’s pool of funds at risk. Therefore, Agency recognizes that the terms of this MOU, including the indemnity provisions and limitations on damages against Agency, are most effective if applicable to all Eligible Jurisdictions. Recipient shall therefore be subject to the same terms and conditions of the Eligible Jurisdiction that receives the most favorable terms in its Funding Memorandum of Understanding with Agency. This most favored nation clause is not triggered by, and shall not preclude, Agency from settling or resolving disputes with Eligible Jurisdictions or other claimants; it is only intended to ensure the standardization of the various MOUs.

(A) The following conditions shall apply with regard to affordable housing creation:
(i) Funding pursuant to this subparagraph may be used for the following purposes, including, but not limited to, land acquisition, housing acquisition, financing, and ownership programs, including the agency serving as a single source of financing as appropriate, income assistance for extremely low income households, and project-based rental assistance contracts with no time limit that are restricted to the support of extremely low income households. (ii) Financing for any development costs associated with a project or funding grant that is for housing that is 100 percent affordable, which means restricted to any household that earns less than 80 percent of the area median income (AMI), including permanent supportive housing that includes onsite supportive services. An eligible project may also include a subset of at least 50 units, or 50 percent of the total units, whichever is greater, in a larger development that includes units targeted up to 120 percent of AMI, in which case the agency may only fund units that are designated for extremely low and very low income households, and agency funds shall not be used in connection with any unit that is income restricted due to development incentives, density bonuses, or similar programs.
(I) For each of the eligible jurisdictions, as defined in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 64830.5, 25 percent of all funded units shall be reserved for extremely low income households, as defined in Section 50106 of the Health and Safety Code, and 25 percent shall be reserved for very low 52 of 62

Exhibit B-1
income households, as defined in Section 50105 of the
Health and Safety Code, over any two-year period, with
regular monitoring by the citizens’ oversight committee and board of units funded and constructed during that two-year period.
(II) For each project, 10 percent of the units in the project shall be reserved for extremely low income households and 10
percent of the units shall be reserved for very low income households.
(B) Funding pursuant to this paragraph for affordable housing preservation programs may be used to acquire, rehabilitate, place affordability restrictions on, and preserve existing housing units, housing from the private market, and units in residential hotels as defined in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 50519 of the Health and Safety Code for affordability, in order to prevent the loss of affordability and expand permanent affordability. Funding provided pursuant to this subparagraph shall be subject to both of the following conditions:
(i) Existing residents of buildings acquired for the purpose of affordable housing preservation shall not be permanently displaced, even if the resident’s household income exceeds the moderate- income limits in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code. (ii) Buildings acquired for the purpose of affordable housing preservation shall achieve 100 percent occupancy by extremely low or very low income households over time through unit turnover.

Grants, loans, or other financing provided to community land trusts and other similarly structured nonprofit entities to acquire, rehabilitate, and preserve existing housing units are an eligible use pursuant to this subparagraph.

Programs to enable low- or moderate-income households to become or remain homeowners, including, but not limited to, below market rate ownership programs, downpayment assistance programs, residential rehabilitation loan programs, and grants or loans to assist in the rehabilitation or replacement of existing mobile homes located in a mobile home or manufactured home are eligible uses pursuant to this subparagraph.
(C) Funding provided pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to the following conditions in the event that demolition or rehabilitation of housing units is required:
(i) (I) Any funded development or affordable housing grant on any property that includes a parcel or parcels that currently have residential uses, or within the five years preceding the grant have had residential uses that have been vacated or demolished, that are or were subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that 53 of 62

Exhibit B-1
restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of low or very low income, subject to any other form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power, or occupied by low- or very low income households, shall be subject to a policy requiring the replacement of all those units to be made available at affordable rent or affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, persons and families in the same or lower income category as those households in occupancy.
(II) Replacement requirements shall be consistent with those set forth in paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 65915, provided that any dwelling unit that is or was, within the five-year period preceding the grant, subject to a form of rent or price control through a local government’s valid exercise of its police power and that is or was occupied by persons or families above lower income shall be replaced with units made available at affordable rent or affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, low-income persons or families.
(ii) If existing residents are required to be relocated due to demolition or rehabilitation needs, the developer is required to provide relocation benefits to the occupants of those housing rental units subject to Chapter 16 (commencing with Section 7260) of Division 7 of Title 1. The developer shall comply with either the local government requirements for relocation assistance to displaced households or the policy set by the agency for relocation assistance to displaced households, whichever provides a greater benefit to the relocated or displaced households.
(iii) If existing occupants who are lower income households are required to vacate their units due to demolition or rehabilitation needs, the developer shall provide a right of first refusal for a comparable unit available in the new or rehabilitated housing development that is affordable to the household at an affordable rent, as defined in Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code, or an affordable housing cost, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the Health and Safety Code.

Measure A Labor Requirements
SECTION 28. CONSTRUCTION WORK.

A. It is the intent of this section to encourage the development of local job opportunities and career pathways into the building and construction trades, including but not limited to apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs.

B. Any construction or rehabilitation project receiving funding or financing from this Ordinance, including but not limited to a project of fewer than 40 units, shall constitute a public work for which prevailing wages shall be paid for purposes of Chapter 1 (commencing with section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code.

C. A project of 40 or more units is eligible to receive funding or financing from this Ordinance only if all construction and rehabilitation is subject to the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works Project Labor Agreement 2020-2030 if the project is within the City of Los Angeles, or the Countywide Community Workforce Agreement executed by the Chief Executive Officer on June 7, 2023 if the project is elsewhere, or any successor to either agreement.

D. For purposes of sections 28 and 29 of this Ordinance, the number of units means the maximum number of units authorized in an entitlement granted by the land use permitting authority for a development project, regardless of whether construction or rehabilitation proceeds in phases or project ownership is divided.

E. The Designated Enforcement Agency (“DEA”) shall have authority to enforce Labor Code sections 1720-1815, as amended from time to time, for projects funded by the tax imposed by this Ordinance. Any developer, contractor, or subcontractor as to such projects shall be required to cooperate fully in any investigation the DEA initiates. For projects located in the City of Los Angeles, the DEA shall be the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Contract Administration. For projects elsewhere, the contracting Funding Recipient shall act as or designate the DEA. The DEA shall be authorized to work with joint labor management committees established pursuant to the federal Labor Management Cooperation Act of 1978 (29 U.S.C. section 175a) in order to carry out the enforcement/investigation duties under this Ordinance. A joint labor management committee may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction against an employer that fails to comply with the labor standards required under this Ordinance.

F. Notwithstanding subsection C of this section, if a project labor agreement is agreed between the Funding Recipient or project developer, the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council, and the Western States Regional Council of Carpenters, then a project with 40 or more units is eligible to receive funding or financing from this Ordinance if all construction and rehabilitation is subject to that project labor agreement.

G. For purposes of this Ordinance, “project labor agreement” has the meaning stated in subdivision (b)(1) of section 2500 of the Public Contract Code. 59 of 62

(b) A project with 40 units or greater is eligible to receive funding or financing from the agency, a measure proposed by the agency pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 64720, or a joint powers authority of which the agency is a member, only if all construction and rehabilitation is subject to the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works PLA. For purposes of this subdivision and subdivision (c), the number of units means the maximum number of units authorized in an entitlement granted by the land use permitting authority for the development project, regardless of whether construction or rehabilitation proceeds in phases or ownership is divided.
(c) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), if a specific countywide project labor agreement is negotiated with mutual agreement between the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council and the Southern California Association of Nonprofit Housing and approved by the agency, then a project with 40 units or greater is eligible to receive funding or financing from the agency, a measure proposed by the agency pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 64720, or a joint powers authority of which the agency is a member, only if all construction and rehabilitation is subject to the specific countywide project labor agreement rather than the Department of Public Works PLA. (d) For purposes of this section, “project labor agreement” has the same meaning as in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 2500 of the Public Contract Code. (e) For purposes of this section, “Department of Public Works PLA” means the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works Project Labor Agreement 2020-2030 with Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council, effective August 25, 2021.

Measure A Section 27
SECTION 27. IMPROVING RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF HOMELESSNESS SERVICE AND PREVENTION WORKERS.

A. All contracts funding social services positions, including but not limited to homelessness services and eviction prevention workers, financed by the tax imposed by this Ordinance must:

1. Set sufficient payment rates to enable contractors to pay wages aligned with public and private market conditions;

2. Allow amendments, as needed, to provide that incentives and wage increases for cost of living similar to those offered to County staff and/or Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority staff are also available to service provider and prevention worker staff;

3. Allow annual adjustments to reflect cost-of-living adjustments, increases in administrative allowances, and operational cost changes due to inflation or other factors (such as supply shortages, insurance market changes, etc.);

4. Be paid in a timely manner to prevent unnecessary cost increases borne by service providers; and

5. Not result in displacement of public employees.

Multi-year contracts are encouraged to support system, service delivery, workforce, and nonprofit service provider stability.

B. By June 30, 2025, the County shall establish a labor council with equal representation from organized labor and nonprofit social service provider leadership to discuss pay equity and career development at contracted service providers, especially with regard to racial disparities and for those with lived experience of homelessness. This council shall make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on issues related but not limited to all levels of compensation, wages and benefits, and appropriate pay ranges as compared to County employees performing similar work, including the feasibility of contracts for social services positions financed by this Ordinance meeting or exceeding area wage standards, pay equity for service provider staff, and the allowance of cost-of-living adjustments. The labor council shall provide initial recommendations to the Board of Supervisors by June 30, 2026.

C. Every three years, the Chief Executive Officer shall conduct a review every three years of current payment rates across service types (such. as interim housing bed rates) to inform rate changes and, every five years, shall review current administrative rates allowed in service contracts compared with industry standards and best practices. 61 of 62
