PRESENTED BY: Shanita Tillman, Sr. Management Analyst
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Independent Contractor Agreement for Fiscal Year 2025-26 with Girls on the Run Inland Empire to administer Girls’ Confidence-Building Program for 3rd-8th Grade Girls, with a total contract amount not to exceed $10,000.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:

This staff report aligns with Goal #1 – Ensuring Fiscal Viability by maintaining a balanced budget and Goal #4 – Developing and Implementing Successful Partnerships by collaborating with community organizations to enhance service delivery for seniors.

BACKGROUND:

On January 28, 2025, the County of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency provided the City with available funding options for the FY 2025-26 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).

The City Council reviewed these options and approved its funding recommendations for submission to the County.

DISCUSSION:

Girls on the Run (GOTR) Inland Empire aims to inspire girls in grades 3-8 to be joyful, healthy, and confident by offering evidence-based programs, including the Girls' Confidence-Building Program, that address declines in self-esteem and physical activity. This program provides a supportive environment for girls to recognize their inner strength, boost physical activity, and advocate for themselves, while promoting lifelong health. Founded in 2020, GOTR Inland Empire has already engaged over 200 volunteers and served nearly 1,000 girls, with ongoing funding support from local grants, schools, and foundations like the Anderson Children’s Foundation and Kaiser Foundation.

The Girls' Confidence-Building Program will have a positive impact on the City of Grand Terrace by empowering young girls, improving community health, and fostering leadership and confidence, ultimately contributing to the city's overall well-being.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

No environmental impact.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The $10,000 funding for this agreement will be allocated from Fund 22 in the FY 2025-26 budget under account 22-425-316-000.

DRAFT CONSOLIDATED PLAN

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 25, 2025
TITLE: Intent to Form Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (Public Maintenance Services)
PRESENTED BY: Shanita Tillman, Sr. Management Analyst
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 2025-XX declaring the intention to establish the City of Grand Terrace Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (Public Maintenance Services) and authorize the levy of a special tax to fund specified services 2030 VISION STATEMENT:

This staff report supports Goal #1, "Ensure Our Fiscal Viability," by establishing a funding mechanism through the formation of a Community Facilities District to maintain new landscaping and lighting associated with recent development.

BACKGROUND:

On June 25, 2024, the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace approved Final Tract Map No. 20395. The project consists of a six-lot residential development and includes pedestrian sidewalks, landscaping, and street and utility improvements.

DISCUSSION:

The attached resolution initiates the formation of Community Facilities District 2025-1 (Public Maintenance Services) (“CFD 2025-1”). This district will fund landscaping, lighting, drainage, and street maintenance required by new developments, including the first proposed project, owned by Jay-Gees, LLC. The project consists of six single-family residential parcels located south of Litton Avenue, west of La Cadena Drive, and east of Rosedale Street, within Assessor’s Parcel Number 0275-083-03-0000, as shown in Exhibit A.

CFD 2025-1 allows future developments to annex into the district at the City’s discretion. Special taxes collected from property owners will cover maintenance costs, beginning the fiscal year after building permits are issued.

As part of the formation process, the City will contract with Willdan Financial Services to prepare resolutions and manage balloting. The Resolution of Intention is the first step, with a public hearing scheduled for May 13, 2025. If approved, property owners will begin paying annual special taxes starting the fiscal year after they receive a building permit.

This CFD helps ensure the City’s fiscal stability by mitigating the impact of new development on public services.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

Formation of CFD 2025-1 is exempt from CEQA under Section 15378(b)(4) as it constitutes a fiscal activity not resulting in a direct or reasonably foreseeable environmental impact.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City anticipates collecting an annual special tax of $1,816 per detached dwelling unit within CFD 2025-1, adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This tax will commence the fiscal year after a building permit is issued and will appear as an itemized charge on the property tax bill, based on the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax.

For the project, CFD 2025-1 will generate a total annual special tax of $10,896 for six (6) single-family residential parcels, subject to annual inflationary adjustments.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XX

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF GRAND TERRACE DECLARING ITS

INTENTION TO ESTABLISH CITY OF GRAND TERRACE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2025-1 (PUBLIC MAINTENANCE SERVICES) AND TO AUTHORIZE

THE LEVY OF A SPECIAL TAX THEREIN TO FINANCE CERTAIN MAINTENANCE

SERVICES
WHEREAS, the CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA (the “City Council”), has determined that it is necessary and desirable to create a community facilities district pursuant to the terms and provisions of the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982”, being Chapter 2.5, Part 1, Division 2, Title 5 of the Government Code of the State of California (the “Act”), as amended, for the purpose of financing landscaping and lighting maintenance, drainage maintenance and street maintenance; and
WHEREAS, the Act authorizes the City Council to establish a community facilities district and to levy special taxes within the community facilities district; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace does hereby resolve, determine and order as follows:

1. Recitals. The above recitals are all true and correct.

2. Initiation of Proceedings. The City Council hereby declares its intention to conduct proceedings for the formation of a community facilities district pursuant to the provisions of the Act.

3. Name of CFD. The proposed community facilities district shall be known and designated as “City of Grand Terrace Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (Public Maintenance Services)” (the “CFD”)

4. Boundaries of CFD. A description of the exterior boundaries of the territory proposed for inclusion in the CFD, including properties and parcels of land proposed to be subject to the levy of a special tax by the CFD, is as shown on the boundary map designated as “PROPOSED BOUNDARIES OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2025-1 (Public Maintenance Services),” which is on file in the office of the City Clerk and is attached hereto as Exhibit A and hereby incorporated by reference.

5. Description of Services. It is the intention of this City Council to finance certain services described below (the “Services”). The City Council hereby finds that the Services are in addition to those provided in the territory within the CFD prior to

the establishment of the CFD and that such Services will not supplant services already available within that territory. A general description of the services to be provided is as follows:

Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance: includes the labor, material, administration, personnel, equipment and utilities (i.e., water and power) necessary to maintain public landscaping and lighting improvements for, within, or associated with the CFD, including trees, turf, ground cover, shrubs, weed removal, irrigation systems, sidewalk, drainage facilities, lighting, signs, monuments, graffiti removal, walkways, and associated appurtenant facilities located within, or associated with, the CFD.

Drainage Maintenance: includes the labor, material, testing, reporting, remediation, permitting, general administration, personnel, equipment and utilities necessary to maintain public drainage improvements for, within, or associated with the CFD, including drain inlets, filters, detention basin, storm drain pipeline, and associated appurtenant facilities located within, or associated with, the CFD.

Street Maintenance: includes the labor, material, administration, personnel, equipment and utilities necessary to maintain public streets, streetlights and associated appurtenant facilities for, within, or associated with the CFD, including City overhead costs associated with providing such services within the CFD.

The cost of the Services shall include incidental expenses, including, but not limited to, the costs associated with forming the CFD, determination of the amount of the Special Taxes, collection of the Special Taxes, payment of the Special Taxes, and costs incurred in order to carry out the authorized purposes of the CFD.

All Services shall be provided by the City of Grand Terrace, with its own forces or by contract with third parties, or any combination thereof, to be determined entirely by the City of Grand Terrace.

Nothing in this description of Services or any Resolution of the City Council shall be construed as committing the City or the CFD to provide all of the authorized Services. The provision of Services shall be subject to the successful formation of the CFD and the availability of sufficient proceeds of special taxes within the CFD.

The City may annually prioritize, at its discretion, the authorized Services that would be funded and the amount of the special tax proceeds that it will use for each Service.

6. Special Tax. It is hereby further proposed that, except where funds are otherwise available to pay for the Services, a special tax sufficient to pay for such Services and related incidental expenses authorized by the Act (the “Special Tax” or “Special Taxes”), secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property in the CFD, will be levied annually within the boundaries of the CFD. Under no circumstances will the Special Tax authorized to be levied

within the CFD be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels used for private residential purposes and located within the CFD by more than 10 percent. For further particulars as to the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax proposed to be levied within the CFD, reference is made to the attached and incorporated Exhibit B, which sets forth in sufficient detail the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax among parcels of real property in the CFD (the “Rate and Method”) to allow each landowner or resident within the CFD to clearly estimate the maximum amount that such person will have to pay for such Services. The City Council hereby determines the Rate and Method set forth in Exhibit B to be reasonable.

The Special Taxes herein authorized, to the extent possible, shall be collected in the same manner as ad valorem property taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties, procedure, sale and lien priority in any case of delinquency as applicable for ad valorem taxes, or shall be collected in such other manner as may be provided by the City Council. Any Special Taxes that may not be collected on the County tax roll shall be collected through a direct billing procedure by the City’s Finance Director or duly appointed officer or agent of the City of Grand Terrace, as appointed by the City Council.

7. Public Hearing. Notice is given that on May 13, 2025, at the hour of 6:00 p.m. (or as soon thereafter as practical), in the regular meeting place of the City Council being the City Council Chambers, located at 22795 Barton Road, Grand Terrace, CA 92313, a public hearing will be held where this City Council will consider the establishment of the proposed CFD, the extent of the CFD, the furnishing of the Services within the CFD, and the proposed Rate and Method, and all other matters as set forth in this resolution of intention. At the above-mentioned time and place for public hearing any persons interested, including taxpayers, persons registered to vote within the CFD, and property owners, may appear and be heard. The testimony of all interested persons for or against the establishment of the CFD, the extent of the CFD, or the furnishing of the Services will be heard and considered. Any protests may be made orally or in writing. However, any protests pertaining to the regularity or sufficiency of the proceedings shall be in writing and clearly set forth the irregularities and defects to which the objection is made. All written protests shall be filed with the City Clerk of the City Council on or before the time fixed for the public hearing. Written protests may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing.

If a written majority protest against the establishment of the CFD is filed (as determined in accordance with Section 53324 of the Act), the proceedings shall be abandoned. If such majority protest is limited to certain services or portions of the Special Tax, those services or that tax shall be eliminated by the City Council.

The public hearing may be continued from time to time, but shall be completed within 30 days, except that if the City Council finds that the complexity of the CFD

or the need for public participation requires additional time, the public hearing may be continued from time to time for a period not to exceed 6 months.

At the public hearing, the City Council may modify this resolution by eliminating any of the Services, or by changing the method of apportionment of the special tax so as to reduce the maximum special tax for all or a portion of the owners of property within the CFD, or by removing any territory from the CFD. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council may abandon these proceedings or may, after passing upon all protests, determine to proceed with establishing the CFD.

8. Election. If, following the public hearing described in Section 7 above, the City Council determines to establish the CFD and proposes to levy the Special Tax within the CFD, the City Council shall then submit the levy of the Special Taxes to the qualified electors of the CFD. The vote shall be by the landowners of the CFD with each landowner or the authorized representative thereof, having one (1) vote for each acre or portion of an acre of land owned within the CFD.

The election shall be conducted by the City Clerk, and shall be held on a date selected by the City Council in conformance with the provisions of Section 53326 of the California Government Code and pursuant to the provisions of the California Elections Code, insofar as they may be applicable. Pursuant to said Section 53326 the ballots for the election shall be distributed to the qualified electors of the CFD by mail with return postage prepaid or by personal service, and the special election shall be conducted as a mail ballot election.

A successful election relating to the Special Tax authorization shall, as applicable, establish the appropriations limit as authorized by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution as it is applicable to the CFD.

9. Notice. Notice of the time and place of the public hearing shall be given by the City Clerk by causing a Notice of Public Hearing to be published in the legally designated newspaper of general circulation, such publication pursuant to Section 6061 of the Government Code, with such publication to be completed at least seven (7) days prior to the date set for the public hearing. In addition, notice of the time and place of said hearing shall also be given by first-class mail to each registered voter and to each landowner within the proposed CFD as prescribed by Section 53322.4 of said Act. Said notice shall be published at least seven (7) days [and mailed at least fifteen (15) days before the date of the hearing,] and shall contain the information required by said Section 53322 of the Act.

10.Exempt Properties. Except as provided in Section 53340.1 of the Act and except for properties that a local agency is a landowner of within the meaning of subdivision (f) of Section 53317 of the Act, pursuant to Section 53340 of the California Government Code, properties of entities of the state, federal, and local governments shall be exempt from the levy of Special Taxes for the financing of

the Services of the proposed CFD. Reference is hereby made to the Rate and Method for a description of other properties or entities that are expressly exempted from the levy of the Special Taxes.

11.Necessity. The City Council finds that the proposed Services described in Section 5 hereof are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City as a result of new development occurring within the boundaries of the proposed CFD.

12.Annexation of Territory. Other property may be annexed into the CFD pursuant to the provisions of the Act.

13.Public Interest. Pursuant to Section 53329.5(c) of the Act, the City Council finds, in its opinion, the public interest will not be served by allowing property owners in the CFD to enter into a contract pursuant to Section 53329.5(a) of the Act.

14.Advances. The City or CFD may accept advances of funds or work-in-kind from any source, including, but not limited to, private persons or private entities, and is authorized and directed to use such funds or that work-in-kind for any authorized purpose, including, but not limited to, paying any cost incurred by the City in creating the CFD. The City or CFD may enter into an agreement with the person or entity advancing the funds or work-in-kind, to repay all or a portion of the funds advanced, or to reimburse the person or entity for the value, or cost, whichever is less, of the work-in-kind, as determined by the City Council, with or without interest.

15.Reports. A report (the “CFD Report”) shall be prepared and presented to the City Council, containing a full and complete description of the public services proposed to be financed from the levy of special taxes, a general cost estimate setting forth costs of providing such services, and further information regarding the implementation of the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax proposed to be levied. The Report, upon its preparation, shall be submitted to the City Council for review, and the Report shall be made a part of the record of the public hearing.

The hearing board or Review/Appeal Committee shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to the annual administration of the Special Tax and any landowner appeals, as herein specified.

The decision of the hearing board or Review/Appeal Committee shall be final and binding to all persons.

G. MANNER OF COLLECTION

RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPT

A RESOLUTION RECEIVING AND FILING THE CITY OF GRAND

TERRACE GENERAL PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS
REPORT FOR THE 2024 CALENDAR YEAR
2030 VISION STATEMENT:

A compliant Housing Element supports Goal #1, Ensuring Fiscal Viability and Goal #3, Promote Economic Development by providing an internally consistent General Plan.

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65400, local jurisdictions are required to provide an Annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report (APR) to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) annually. The APR describes the status of the Housing Element programs, housing production, and progress towards the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the prior calendar year (2024).

State law requires every city to update the Housing Element of their General Plan every eight (8) years. HCD refers to each eight-year planning period as a “cycle”. The City’s Housing Element that covered the 2013-2021 planning period (5th Cycle) was adopted by the City Council on September 27, 2016, and certified by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) as being in full compliance with state law in 2016.

The City’s Housing Element that will cover the 2021-2029 planning period (6th Cycle) is currently in the process of being adopted and is being presented to the City Council for consideration and adoption on March 25, 2025.

Attached for City Council review is the APR for calendar year 2024. The APR has been prepared in the standardized format provided by HCD for annual reporting.

DISCUSSION:

Housing Production
The Housing Element APR includes the total number of units constructed and the progress in implementation of the City’s Housing Programs. A total of four (4) new residential unit(s) were completed and obtained Certificate of Occupancy in 2024. A summary of those completed units is contained within EXHIBIT A to Attachment 1 of this agenda staff report.

RHNA Target Summary and Housing Element APR
A key component of the Housing Element APR is to track progress towards meeting the assigned RHNA units

assigned to the City. The 6th Cycle RHNA allocated to the City 630 units as its fair share of the total number of units needed to meet modeled population growth in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region. Of those 630 units, 189 are required to be affordable for those with very low incomes, 92 affordable for those with low-incomes, 106 for those with moderate incomes, with 243 above-moderate units.

The allocation of units, and the City’s current progress toward achieving its RHNA targets is below:

An inventory of sites suitable for housing development was made available at City Hall and on the City website. The latest HE Update for 2021-2029 draft includes updated site that will be circulated in 2024 and will liley require upzoning.

ANNUAL ELEMENT PROGRESS REPORT
Housing Element Implementation
Housing Programs Progress Report
Describe progress of all programs including local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing as identified in the housing element.

Table D
Program Implementation Status pursuant to GC Section 65583

Program 2: A new R3-20
zone, Medium High
Density Residential
District, was created to
allow multiple-family
development at a density
of 20 units per acre, and
which exclusively allows
multiple-family and senior
residential uses and
permits owner-occupied
and rental multi-family
residential uses by-right.

To ensure the availability
of adequate sites to
accommodate the City’s
share of lower-income
regional housing need,
amendments to the Land
Use Element of the
General Plan and the
Zoning Code will be
processed to provide
capacity for at least 42
additional lower-income
units pursuant to
Government Code
Sections 65583.2(h) and (i).

Rezoned parcels will be
selected from the list of
potential candidate sites
identified in Table 8.30b
Land Use Element and Zoning Code
amendments; Support low-income
affordable housing production
Amendments in 2016;
Ongoing implementation
through the planning
period
Land Use Element and Zoning Code amendments were adopted in 2016 that established an R3-24 (20-24 du/ac) zone, High Density Residential District, and zoned approximately 2 acres R3-24. An R3-24 Overlay District was also created which was applied on an additional 2 acres. The lastest HE Update for 2021-2029 draft will be propsoing upzoning sites.

• Zoning shall permit
owner-occupied and rental
multifamily residential use
by right. “Use by right”
shall mean that the City’s
review of the owneroccupied or multifamily
residential use may not
require a conditional use
permit, planned unit
development permit, or
other discretionary local
government review or
approval that would
constitute a “project” for
purposes of California
Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). “Use by right”
does not exempt the use
from design review.

However, that design
review shall not constitute
a “project” under CEQA.
*Sites shall accommodate
at least 16 units
• Allowable density shall
be 20 to 24 units per acre
• At least 50 percent of the
very-low- and low-income
housing need shall be
accommodated on sites
designated for residential
Land Use Element and Zoning Code
amendments; Support low-income
affordable housing production
Amendments in 2016;
Ongoing implementation
through the planning
period
Land Use Element and Zoning Code amendments were adopted in 2016 that established an R3-24 (20-24 du/ac) zone, High Density Residential District, and zoned approximately 2 acres R3-24. An R3-24 Overlay District was also created which was applied on an additional 2 acres. The lastest HE Update for 2021-2029 draft will be propsoing upzoning sites.

Program 3: The City’s
Community and Economic
Development Director
(CEDD) will consider, on a
case-by-case basis, to
allow developers to use
Planned Residential
Development standards,
where, in addition to
density bonuses in
accordance with state law,
allows for density bonuses
where energy efficient
construction is
incorporated into projects.

Support housing production 2016 and ongoing through
planning period A 17- unit project was approved utilizing the PRD standards in 2016.

Program 4: A City-owned
parcel was acquired by
Habitat for Humanity to
develop two lower nonsenior income affordable
housing units. Collaborate
with Habitat for Humanity
to construct the two units
during the planning
period.

Support housing production 2016-2018 Building plans were approved in 2016. The project was completed in 2018.

Program 5: Facilitate
development of the 0.63-
acre parcel owned by the
Housing Authority for lowincome housing units, with
priority for extremely low
income units through
expedited processing,
modified development
standards, and reduced
development fees when
feasible.

Support lower-income housing
production
Ongoing through planning
period Parcel is available for development, but no activity has occurred.

Program 6: Ensure access
to the Section 8 Rental
Assistance program
operated by the San
Bernardino County
Housing Authority by
assisting the County with
publicity whenever the
waiting list is opened, by
posting the phone number

developments. A specified
number of units are
required to remain
affordable to eligible, lowincome households for a
specified number of years
after the initial financing is
provided.

Information on this
Program will be provided
on the City’s website,
including links to the
respective programs and
posted biennially in the

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 25, 2025 Council Item
TITLE: Termination of Local Emergency
PRESENTED BY: Konrad Bolowich, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council Review and approve a Resolution terminating the Proclamation of Local Emergency issued on January 9, 2025, which empowered the Director of
Emergency Services to make and issue rules and
regulations on matters reasonably related to the protection of life and property as affected by such local emergency; and declaring that the state of local emergency no longer exists. 2030 VISION STATEMENT:

This staff report supports Goal #2, Maintain Public Safety BACKGROUND:

On January 9, 2025, the City Manager, in his capacity as Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed a local emergency pursuant to California Government Code Section 8630 and Grand Terrace Municipal Code Section 2.28.060. The proclamation was based on conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the City due to widespread power outages and dangerous windstorm conditions.

The emergency declaration facilitated the City's ability to mobilize local resources, coordinate interagency responses, and seek reimbursement for emergency-related costs. It also granted the Director of Emergency Services authority to issue regulations and take necessary actions to protect public safety.

Since the proclamation, efforts have been undertaken to mitigate the impact of the emergency. Power has been fully restored, windstorm hazards have been addressed, and emergency conditions no longer pose an immediate threat to public safety or property.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Grand Terrace has effectively managed and recovered from the windstorm and power outage emergency declared in January 2025. The following key factors support the termination of the emergency proclamation:

Full Restoration of Services: Essential services, including power and emergency response systems, have been restored.

Mitigation of Public Hazards: Downed trees, infrastructure damage, and fire risks associated with the storm have been addressed.

No Ongoing Emergency Conditions: The conditions that warranted the initial emergency proclamation no longer exist.

In compliance with California Government Code Section 8630, which requires periodic review of a local emergency declaration, staff recommend that the City Council terminate the Proclamation of Local Emergency. This action formally acknowledges the conclusion of the emergency period and ensures alignment with state and federal emergency management procedures.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

There is no environmental impact associated with the rescission of the emergency proclamation.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the rescission of the emergency proclamation.

The updated Housing Element must address what land use planning steps the City will take so that the City is able to meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

The following provides a brief overview of the process followed to update the Housing Element to date:
• June 2021: Initial public workshop, housing element website, FAQ sheet • October 2021: Public hearings
• October 15, 2021: Housing Element due date
• December 2021: Initial draft submitted to HCD

DISCUSSION:

Housing Element Overview
Six chapters make up the Housing Element and they are as follows:
• Chapter 1- Review of Past Accomplishments: This chapter reviews the 2013–2021 Housing Element; evaluates its progress on housing goals, objectives, and policies; determines the effectiveness of these policies; and describes how these policies will be incorporated in the 2021–2029 Housing Element. The chapter also reviews progress toward meeting the 2013–2021 RHNA and effectiveness at serving special needs populations.
• Chapter 2 - Housing Needs Assessment: This section evaluates characteristics that inform housing need including population trends, demographics, employment trends, household characteristics, housing stock characteristics, housing inventory and market conditions, and preservation of at-risk units. The assessment also analyzes housing needs of various special needs groups, including elderly persons, large households, female-headed households, persons with disabilities (including developmental disabilities), homeless persons, farmworkers, and extremely low-income households. • Chapter 3 - Sites and Resources: This section of the Housing Element provides an overview of available land resources and residential sites for future housing development; evaluates how these resources can satisfy future housing needs; reviews financial and administrative resources available to support affordable housing; and discusses resources available for the development, rehabilitation, and preservation of housing in Grand Terrace. The chapter identifies specific sites with capacity to meet the RHNA. It is important to note that the inclusion of a site does not require the jurisdiction or land owner to build or finance housing on the site. Suitable sites are selected only to demonstrate the capacity for housing.
• Chapter 4 - Constraints on Housing: This section identifies and evaluates factors that may pose significant constraints or burdens that limit or constrain the production of housing to meet local and regional housing needs and the goals and objectives of the General Plan. • Chapter 5 - Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing: This chapter analyzes barriers that restrict access to opportunities and identifies goals to address the impacts of systemic issues such as residential segregation, housing cost burden, and unequal educational or employment opportunities to the extent these issues create and/or perpetuate discrimination against protected segments of the population. • Chapter 6 - Goals, Policies, and Programs: The Housing Element update includes programs that the City will implement over the eight-year planning period. Each program has an action, timeline to complete the action, funding source, implementing agency, and where applicable a quantified objective and/or geographic target for the program. The City of Grand Terrace’s Planning and Development Services is largely the implementing agency for Housing Element programs.

Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Obligation
The City of Grand Terrace is required to maintain sufficient land and sites capacity to meet the remaining RHNA for the eight-year planning period, from 2021–2029. This means that there must always be appropriate zoning and development standards in place for the RHNA to be met. The table on the following page describes the RHNA allocation for the City of Grand Terrace and the units yielded from the identified opportunity sites.

Note: AMI = area median income; ADU = accessory dwelling unit The sites inventory identifies 20 opportunity sites to be rezoned in order to create capacity for the number of units in the RHNA. As noted in Program 1, 97.3 total acres throughout the City are proposed to be rezoned to a new, high-density residential zone, ranging from 20 to 40 dwelling units per acre. By upzoning for considerable capacity beyond the RHNA, the City is encouraging housing mobility, creating housing opportunity, and ensuring there is adequate capacity to meet the RHNA for the current planning period and the upcoming 7th Cycle. The Housing Element will be deemed substantially compliant once it is adopted and these rezonings are complete.

Other Notable Programs
In addition to the noted proposed rezoning, several other programs are included to promote housing mobility, streamline processes, and provide improvements within the City. Notable programs include the following:
• Program 3: Facilitate Development of Affordable and Special Needs Housing. The City will provide a set of incentives and technical assistance to developers for housing projects that are affordable to special needs households. This includes assisting developers in using Planned Residential Development standards, offering expedited processing for projects that provide housing for lower-income and/or special needs households, assisting in preparing applications for lower-income households and households with special needs, and reducing development fees for extremely low-income housing projects.
• Program 9: Incentivize Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). The City will create a dedicated webpage on the City website for ADU information, including necessary information for the construction of ADUs.

The City will also make a variety of preapproved ADU plan sets available to facilitate reduced applicant cost and expedited review for ADUs. The City will monitor ADU production and affordability levels. Should ADU production not meet projected targets (an average of 1.5 ADUs annually), the City will pursue additional actions to encourage ADU production within six months of an identified shortfall. • Program 19: Place-Based Improvements. The City will continue to prioritize the Capital Improvement Program and implement broader planning efforts, including seeking additional funding. This will serve to continue to enrich communities through neighborhood improvements such as enhanced streetscapes, multimodal and active transportation, pedestrian safety improvements, safe routes to schools, community facilities, park improvements, and other community amenities. • Program 20: Fair Housing Outreach and Resources. The City will advertise the services of and collaborate with the County’s contracted fair housing provider, currently the Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board. The City will make educational and training resources available to tenants, landowners, homeowners, and any other residents who may be affected by fair housing policy. The City will also participate in the Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, which is updated every five years.

Planning Commission

The Housing Element was presented to the Planning Commission at a special public hearing held on February 27, 2025. After discussion, staff answered all questions from the Planning Commission, and the Planning Commission unanimously approved a resolution recommending that the City Council adopt the Housing Element as drafted with no further revisions.

Future Rezones
No action regarding future zoning amendments is proposed at this meeting to adopt the Housing Element as it is only a policy document. The Housing Element does commit the City to rezoning the adequate sites identified within the Housing Element to a density that will be conducive to affordable residential units. Following Housing Element adoption, the City will engage the services of a consultant team to begin the re-zoning of identified adequate sites to a higher density per the Housing Element. That endeavor will trigger CEQA review and require numerous subsequent public meetings and public hearing to be held by the Planning Commission and City Council.

Notification
A Public Hearing mailer notice was provided in advance of the Planning Commission meeting on February 27, 2025, and this City Council meeting on March 25, 2025. The mailer was sent to all owners of real property identified in the adequate sites list within the Housing Element. The mailer was also sent to all relevant agencies and people of interest on file with the city. In addition to the mailers, the City published the public hearing notifications, with the adequate sites maps, in the City Newsgroup paper. The City has encouraged residents to participate and attend the previous Planning Commission and all future City Council meetings on the Housing Element.

In response to the City’s Public Hearing notification efforts, the City was approached by a total of six (6) different residents at the public planning counter who received the mailer. Planning staff provided information on the Housing Element and answered questions that the residents had about the Housing Element. Additionally, the City received a phone inquiry and email from Lewis Management Crop., the developers of the Gateway and Grand Terrace Specific Plan. The MBI Housing Consultant has provided a response to the Lewis inquiry which is provided as Attachment 2. Upon review of the inquiries discussed above, the MBI Housing Consultant concluded that no revisions to the Housing Element are necessary at this time.

Next Steps
Upon adoption of the Housing Element, HCD will be notified and a copy of the adopted Housing Element update will be submitted to HCD. HCD will confirm receipt of the adopted revised Housing Element update and will note that full compliance with State law is dependent on the City completing its planned rezoning as outlined in the Housing Element. Public hearings must be held by the Planning Commission and City Council to consider approval of specific zoning amendments as provided in the Housing Element programs. Once the rezonings are completed and HCD is notified, the City will have a fully compliant Housing Element.

8.0 HOUSING ELEMENT

8.1 INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The City of Grand Terrace Housing Element, a
component of the City of Grand Terrace’s
General Plan provides the residents,
development community and elected and
appointed officials with a clear understanding
of the City’s housing needs through a
comprehensive set of housing policies and
actions for the years 2021-2029 (October 15,
2021 – October 15, 2029). It builds on an
assessment of the housing needs in the
community at large, evaluates current and
previous housing programs (5th Cycle Housing
Element), available land, and constraints on housing production. This 6th Cycle Housing Element retains and builds on several of the goals, policies, and relevant implementation programs previously approved helping to promote housing construction, increase availability of information, and other programs related to housing to achieve the goal of ensuring that every Grand Terrace resident secures a safe and decent place to live within a satisfactory environment. Significant revisions have been included in the Housing Needs Assessment, which contains updated statistics and analyses based on data from the 2010 US Census and American Community Survey and a revised sites inventory to meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) chapter uses multiple data sources for analysis.

Primary data sources include the 2020/2021 American Community Survey (ACS), the 2015-2019 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) published by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the 2020/2021 US Census. CHAS data is based on the 2015–2019 ACS data files but differs from the standard files by including a variety of housing need variables shown by HUD-defined income limits and HUD-specified household types.

State Requirements
The California State Legislature has identified the attainment of a decent home and suitable living environment for every resident as the state’s major housing goal. Recognizing the important role of local planning programs in pursuing this goal, the legislature has mandated that all cities and counties prepare a housing element as part of their comprehensive general plan. Government Code Section 65583 sets forth the specific components to be contained in a community’s housing element.

The Housing Element is required by state law to include:
• An assessment of existing housing needs – with an analysis of housing affordability, conditions, special needs and affordable units at risk of converting to market rate – as well as project needs as laid out in the RHNA;

Housing Element
VIII-2
Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | May 2024
• A detailed sites inventory and analysis that evaluates the jurisdiction’s ability to accommodate its RHNA;
• An analysis of constraints on housing in the jurisdiction; • Housing Programs that identify adequate sites to accommodate the jurisdiction's share of the regional housing need; assist in the development of housing for very low- and lowincome households; remove or mitigate governmental constraints to affordable housing; conserve and improve the existing affordable housing stock; promote equal housing opportunity; and preserve the at-risk units identified; and • Quantified objectives that estimate the maximum number of units, by income level, to be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over the planning period of the element.

Changes in State Law Since Previous Update
The following items represent substantive changes to state law since the City’s last Housing Element or which have been newly addressed in this Housing Element. These are discussed in Chapter 8.4, Governmental Constraints and addressed in Program 11 Zoning Ordinance Amendments for Housing for Persons with Special Housing Needs. • Assembly Bill (AB) 68, AB 587, AB 671, AB 881, and Senate Bill (SB) 13 further incentivize the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) through streamlined permits, reduced setback requirements, increased allowable square footage, reduced parking requirements, and reduced fees.
• AB 1763 requires jurisdictions to provide a density bonus to development projects that restrict 100 percent of their units as affordable to lower- and moderate-income households. • AB 101 requires jurisdictions to allow “low barrier navigation centers” by-right in areas zoned for mixed uses and in nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses, if the center meets specified requirements.
• AB 686 extends requirements for federal grantees and contractors to “affirmatively further fair housing,” including requirements in the federal Fair Housing Act, to public agencies in California. Affirmatively furthering fair housing is defined specifically as taking meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity by replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns; transforming racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity; and fostering and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws.
• AB 1255 and AB 1486 seek to identify and prioritize state and local surplus lands available for housing development affordable to lower-income households. • AB 2162 and SB 2 address various methods and funding sources that jurisdictions may use to accelerate housing production. Specifically, AB 2162 requires that supportive housing be a permitted use without discretionary review, in zones where multifamily and mixed uses are permitted, including nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses.

VIII-3
Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | May 2024
• SB 330 enacts changes to local development policies, permitting, and processes that will be in effect through January 1, 2025. SB 330 places new criteria on the application requirements and processing times for housing developments; prevents localities from decreasing the housing capacity of any site, such as through downzoning or increasing open space requirements, if such a decrease would preclude the jurisdiction from meeting its RHNA housing targets; prevents localities from establishing non-objective standards; and requires that any proposed demolition of housing units be accompanied by a project that would replace or exceed the total number of units demolished. Additionally, any demolished units that were occupied by lower-income households must be replaced with new units affordable to households with those same income levels.

Planning Period
The State of California now requires an update of a jurisdiction’s housing element every eight years, versus every five years as with previous housing element planning periods. This was established through the passage of SB 375 for the purpose of aligning housing element planning periods with regional transportation plan (RTP) deadlines. One housing element will now be completed for every two RTPs. This Housing Element period extends from October 15, 2021 to October 15, 2029.

Regional Housing Needs Allocation Projection Period
A critical measure of compliance with state housing element law is the ability of a jurisdiction to accommodate its share of the region’s housing need – the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). This RHNA quantifies the need for housing in each jurisdiction in a six-county area, including the City of Grand Terrace. In March 2021, the state approved the Southern California Association of Governments’ (SCAG) RHNA plan, which covers the projection period of October 15, 2021, to October 15, 2029.

The RHNA identifies the City’s existing and future housing need broken down by income group as determined by SCAG as shown in Table 8.1 below.

Relationship to the General Plan
In 2010, the City adopted a comprehensive update of the General Plan. The Housing Element is one of many elements of the City’s General Plan. The goals, policies, actions and programs within the Housing Element relate directly to, and are consistent with, all other elements in the City’s General Plan. The City’s Housing Element identifies programs and resources required for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing to meet the existing and projected needs of its population and is updated regularly in alignment with SCAG cycles.

The Housing Element works in tandem with development policies contained in the Land Use Element. The Land Use Element establishes the location, type, intensity, and distribution of land uses throughout the City, and defined the land use build-out potential. By designating residential development, the Land Use Element also identifies lands designated for a range of other uses, including employment creating uses, open space, and public uses.

The City’s Circulation Element also affects the implementation of the Housing Element. The Circulation Element establishes policies for a balanced circulation system in the City. The Circulation Element aims to reduce impacts of transportation on the region’s overall environment and transportation infrastructure, and provide a variety of options so that individuals can choose to travel by car, bicycle, foot, or public transportation. As such, the Housing Element must include policies and incentives that consider the types of transportation infrastructure essential for servicing residential housing units in addition to mitigating the effects of growth in the City.

The Public Services and Facilities Element and Open Space and Conservation Elements are also key links to the Housing Element, as residential development is predicated on the availability of utilities and other public services and recreational facilities.

The Housing Element has been reviewed for consistency with the City’s other General Plan elements, and the policies and programs in this Element are consistent with the policy direction contained in other parts of the General Plan, including the Safety and Conservation Elements pursuant to AB 162, SB 1241 and SB 379. As portions of the General Plan are amended in the future, the Housing Element will be reviewed to ensure that internal consistency is maintained.

Information Sources
The information contained and analyzed in this Housing Element update has been sourced from a variety of providers. These include the United States Census (2010), the American Community Survey (2018 and 2019), the California Department of Finance, the California Housing Partnership Corporation, SCAG pre-certified housing data, and various City database. These sources are referenced throughout the document and underneath various tables and graphics.

Public Outreach
Public participation is a vital component to the proper formation and implementation of the Housing Element. Public engagement creates opportunities for community members and stakeholders to provide their input and feedback, information which then directs the Housing Element’s goals, policies and programs. Section 65583 of the Government Code requires local governments to make diligent and continued efforts to achieve public participation of all economic

segments of the community. Meaningful community participation ensure that a variety of stakeholders and community members are offered a platform to engage in the City’s planning process. As part of this Housing Element process, the City made a diligent effort to encourage public participation in its development. Outreach for the Housing Element included the following actions:
• Creation of a City-operated webpage where meeting notices, draft documents and other housing references were posted.
• Preparation of a “Frequently Asked Questions” link and webpage on the City’s website. • A public workshop on June 17, 2021, to provide residents, the Planning Commission and key stakeholders an overview of the purpose and statutory requirements governing Housing Elements with an opportunity to provide input.
• Public meetings to review and make available the draft Housing Element to the public prior to submission to the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
• Public hearings held before the Planning Commission October 21, 2021 and City Council on October 26, 2021 to consider HCD comments and the revised draft Housing Element. • Stakeholder interviews held on March 26, and April 16, 2024 to gather information regarding housing issues, housing priorities, recommendations, and experience working or operating in Grand Terrace. Outreach focused on contacting stakeholders of all economic segments of the community, especially lower-moderate income populations and persons with special needs.
• Community workshop on April 15, 2024, to present the Housing Element update changes to the public, gather input, and answer any questions.

The City extensively advertised opportunities to participate and used various forms of media to reach the diverse population of Grand Terrace. Efforts to notify the community about engagement opportunities include the following:
• Email notifications to the interested parties contact list; and • The City’s website to stay informed as well as materials and updates regarding the Housing Element update.

Appendix 8-C, Public Participation Summary, contains a summary of public comments regarding the Housing Element received by the City during the process, in addition to supporting documentation and details on the above-described efforts.

During the enhanced public outreach, participants supported the provision of more housing assistance, financial or policy based, for the low-income population in finding housing. In summary, the community engagement and input yielded the following themes and feedback:
• Education and Outreach: Participants expressed the challenges and barriers for community engagement and education as it related to affordable housing, available housing

VIII-6
Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | May 2024
services and programs, housing policy, and other City events. Program 20 implement outreach and education strategies to increase community awareness to housing resources and fair housing support.
• ADU Incentives: Participants expressed the difficulties and barriers to ADU development in Grand Terrace. Through Program 9 the City will provide information online including FAQs, a flow charts, links to resources, and other ADU resources such as pre-approved plans.
• Prioritizing Affordable Housing for a Variety of Groups: Participants addressed the need for prioritizing development for population groups like seniors and large families.

Program 3 and Program 19 are included to provide resources and facilitate and support affordable housing.

The City received several comments and gathered significant feedback during the public workshops that were held. During the live polling portion of the workshop the following housing issues and priorities were identified. The top housing issues in Grand Terrace were:
• Difficulty paying rent, mortgage, down-payment, etc.
• Lack of suitable or needed housing types (e.g., size, senior) • Insufficient housing supply
• ADA accessibility
The top housing issues in Grand Terrace were:
• Simplify the approval process
• Pre-designed plans for ADUs
• Incentivize developers to include affordable units
• Require affordable units in new developments
• Allow more higher-density housing
Comments during the workshop ranged from questions regarding what measures are used to accomplish fair housing, how will the City ensure enough homes will be built, what resources are available for residents with housing assistance, and what incentives can the City implement to increase the availability of low-income housing.

Housing Element Organization
This Housing Element represents the City’s policy program for the 2021-2029 6th Cycle RHNA planning period. Following this introduction, the Housing Element is comprised of the following sections:

Section 8.2: City Profile characterizes the City’s population, employment, households, and housing stock, and cost of housing.

Housing Element

Section 8.3: Housing Needs Assessment discusses the varied needs of all segments of the community, particularly special needs groups, including elderly persons, large households, femaleheaded households, persons with disabilities (including developmental disabilities), homeless persons, farmworkers, and extremely low-income households. It also analyzes housing problems including overpayment and overcrowding.

Section 8.4: Constraints examines governmental and non-governmental constraints on housing production, maintenance and affordability of housing within the City.

Section 8.5: Housing Resources provides a summary of housing resources, including sites identification and funding and financial considerations.

Section 8.6: Housing Plan addresses the City of Grand Terrace’s identified housing needs through a series of comprehensive goals, policies, and programs.

Section 8.7: Evaluation of the Previous Housing Element provides a review of the programs from the 5th Cycle, their effectiveness, and their appropriateness for inclusion in the 6th Cycle.

Section 8.8 Sites Inventory to Accommodate the RHNA provides a review of the RHNA sites, and justifies their capacity, potential for development, and inclusion in the inventory. This chapter outlines the proposed rezoning efforts to meet the RHNA. The City is proposed creating a new, high density zone allowing housing from 20 – 40 du/acre to accommodate the RHNA.

Section 8.9: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing includes an assessment of fair housing enforcement, outreach activities, trends in overcrowding, housing problems, and cost burden, segregation patterns, and any other impediments to fair housing. This section also analyzes the extent to which the identified RHNA sites affirmatively further fair housing.

Race and Ethnicity
An understanding of the racial and ethnic trends in a region contributes to an analysis of housing demand. According to 2020 ACS data, Non-White populations in the City occupy multifamily units at a higher rate than White populations.
1 Race and ethnicity characteristics also can be
correlated with income levels. Table 8.2 summarizes the racial and ethnic composition of the population in 2010 and 2020. As of 2020, 49 percent of City residents of any race were of Hispanic origin and 51 percent were Non-Hispanic. Of the Non-Hispanic population, 38 percent were white, 5 percent were Asian, and 4 percent were Black or African American. Of the Hispanic population, 23 percent were White, and 20 percent identified as “some other race alone”. Between 2010 and 2020, the largest decrease was in the Non-Hispanic White population, which declined by 22 percent (1,327 people). The largest increases were in the Hispanic population identifying as “Some other race alone” (increase of 37 percent and 665 people) and the Hispanic “Two or more races” (increase of 207 percent 579 people).

Housing Affordability Criteria
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) publishes housing affordability guidelines annually for each county. These guidelines are used for determining eligibility of household incomes for housing programs.

Housing Element
VIII-14
Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | May 2024
Affordability guidelines are based on the assumption that households should pay no more than 30 percent of gross income on housing. Table 8.4 shows affordable rent and home purchase limits by income category based on the County median income. These amounts are for 4-person households and are adjusted based upon household size. Affordable purchase prices are estimated based on typical costs but can vary widely depending on factors such as interest rates, down payment, and homeowners fees. Affordable sales prices are only estimated for the moderate-income level since most deed-restricted affordable ownership housing in the Grand Terrace market area is generally not feasible at lower income levels.

Cost burden is when a household spends more than 30 percent of its monthly income on housing costs such as rent, mortgage, or utilities. Large and elderly households are often more likely to experience housing problems. A large household is a household with three or more children, but is also often calculated as a household with five or more people. An elderly household is calculated as any household with a person over 62 years of age.

Large households have more costs to support more people, and may experience cost burden or a lack of excess funds to amend housing problems. Elderly households may be on a fixed income, which affects excess funds necessary for maintenance in an older home bought before retirement.

Housing Age and Condition
The age of a structure has a significant effect on its physical condition. Homes generally begin to show age after 30 years and require some level of maintenance. This typically includes roof repair, painting, landscaping, and exterior finishes. Homes between 30 and 50 years typically require more significant maintenance and even renovation. Generally, homes built 50 or more years ago (unless well maintained) are more likely to require substantial repairs or need renovation to meet current building codes. However, by itself, age is not a valid indicator of housing condition, since proper care and continued maintenance will extend the physical and economic life of a unit. One the other hand, a lack of normal maintenance coupled with an aging housing stock can lead to the serious deterioration of individual units and entire neighborhoods.

Figure 8.10 shows the age of housing in Grand Terrace. According to recent Census estimates, over 80% of the City’s housing stock was built before 1990 and is more than 30 years old. Proper and continued maintenance of older housing is important in extending the life of a home. 0%

It is estimated that approximately 20% of the housing stock is in need of minor repairs while approximately 5% may require more substantial rehabilitation. This suggests that overall, for its age, the City’s housing stock is in good condition.

The City’s Code Enforcement Department operates on a reactive basis and investigates approximately 700 code cases annually. Staff estimates that 20 cases each year are investigated where a property demonstrates a variety of safety issues. Based on code enforcement trends, the City estimates that approximately 160 homes will need significant repair or replacement over the next eight years.

Housing Costs
For-Sale Housing Costs
Between 2000 and 2018, median home sales prices in Grand Terrace increased 165% while prices in the SCAG region increased 151%. 2018 median home sales prices in Grand Terrace were $370,000 and the highest experienced since 2000 was $374,000 in 2006. Prices in Grand Terrace have ranged from a low of 58.7% of the SCAG region median in 2013 and a high of 68.2% in 2004 (Figure 8.11).

Figure 8.11
Median Existing Home Sales Prices – Grand Terrace vs. SCAG Region As seen in Figure 8.12, about two-thirds of Grand Terrace homeowners with a mortgage pay $1,000-$2,000 per month for housing, which is lower than for the region as a whole.

Figure 8.12
Monthly Owner Costs for Mortgage Holders – Grand Terrace vs. SCAG Region Rental Housing Costs
There are two main categories for rent, contract and gross. Contract rent is the monthly rent agreed to without adjustments for utilities or other payments. Gross rent is similar to selected monthly owner costs. It is the sum of contract rent and the average cost of the utilities (electricity, gas, and water and sewer)
Table 8.7 shows median gross rental prices in Grand Terrace and San Bernardino County from 2010 to 2020. In 2020, the median rental price in the City was $1,416. This is a 24 percent increase from the 10-year low of $1,140 in 2010. The 2020 median rent in the County was $1,338 and saw a similar increase (26 percent) over the last 10-year period. Grand Terrace rents have been on average 8 percent higher than the County between 2010 and 2020. It should be noted that these median rental prices do not fully capture the housing market effects of the global COVID-19

pandemic. One of the economic impacts seen in California during the COVID-19 pandemic was a rapid increase in home prices, potentially caused by a rapid increase in remote work and higher demand for housing in suburban settings such as Grand Terrace. As a result, rental values in the year 2021 are estimated to be higher and continue to rise.

While rental statistics are not tracked in the same way as housing sales, it is possible to get a sense of current rents by looking through rental listings. Table 8.8 shows rental prices as posted on Zillow in May 2024. These figures represent asking rents, not actual rents, and not all available rental units are listed on Zillow. Still, many residents do use Zillow to find housing.

8.3 HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
The housing needs assessment discusses the varied needs of all segments of the community.

Components that dictate housing need are population trends, demographics, employment trends, household characteristics, housing stock characteristics, housing inventory and market conditions, and preservation of at-risk units. The assessment also analyzes housing needs of various special needs groups, including elderly persons, large households, female-headed households, persons with disabilities (including developmental disabilities), homeless persons, farmworkers, and extremely low-income households. These components are presented in the context of the City of Grand Terrace, San Bernardino County, and other regional or neighboring areas as appropriate.

The needs assessment guides the identification of appropriate goals, policies, and programs for the City to implement during the 2021–2029 Housing Element cycle.

The needs assessment uses multiple data sources for analysis. Primary data sources include the 2020 American Community Survey (ACS), the 2014–2018 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) published by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the 2020 US Census. The CHAS provides information related to households with housing problems, including overpayment, overcrowding, and/or housing without complete kitchen facilities and plumbing systems. CHAS data is based on the 2014–2018 ACS data files but differs from the standard files by including a variety of housing need variables split by HUD-defined income limits and HUD-specified household types. CHAS data uses the HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI), which does not differ from the area median income (AMI) used by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), except that it does not utilize the categories described below. Both HAMFI and AMI use the same median income from the metropolitan area. In Grand Terrace, the calculation for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Metropolitan Statistical Area is used. Tables that use HAMFI instead of AMI are noted.

Note that data from the different sources and different years may have varying estimates for totals such as population or number of households.

Some of the data is broken down by income group. HCD uses five income categories to evaluate housing need based on the AMI for each metropolitan statistical area; they are used for both funding and planning purposes. The categories are as follows:
• Extremely low-income households, between 0% and 30% of the AMI • Very low-income households, between 30% and 50% of the AMI • Low-income households, between 50% and 80% of the AMI

Housing Element
VIII-22
Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | May 2024
• Moderate-income households, between 80% and 120% of the AMI • Above moderate-income households, above 120% of the AMI Extremely low-, very low-, and low-income households may be grouped together for planning purposes and referred to as “lower-income households.”
Regional Housing Needs Assessment
HCD makes a periodic evaluation of statewide housing needs based on a variety of data such as:
population trends, demographic changes, and migration patterns. However, the single most important factor in projecting housing need is the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).

As mandated by State law, RHNA quantifies the housing needs for each jurisdiction in its governing area for the planning period between 2021 and 2029. The RHNA does not encourage or promote growth, but rather assigns a regional “fair share” amount of overall housing demand that each community must accommodate and plan for based on the housing need forecast by SCAG’s methodology. The 6th Cycle RHNA adopted by SCAG for the City of Grand Terrace for the period of 2021 to 2029 is a total of 630 housing units, which reflects an increase of 512 units (434 percent) above its 5th Cycle RHNA of 118 units.

Existing Housing Problems
Housing problems range from overpayment (housing cost burden in excess of 30 percent of household income), to overcrowding, to substandard housing conditions such as lack of a kitchen, adequate plumbing facilities, or telephone service. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), it is estimated that 1,630 households in Grand Terrace have at least one housing problem. HUD estimates that 97 percent of extremely low, 67 percent of very low, and 73 percent of low-income households in the City experience at least one housing problem. The US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) provides estimates of substandard housing conditions. Table

8.10 summarizes the number of households in the City with housing problems by tenure.

Overpayment is the most common problem, followed by overcrowding.

Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | May 2024
Housing Overpayment
To determine existing housing needs, it is necessary to examine the relationship between the cost of homeownership or renting to a household’s ability to pay for housing, which is based on the median household income. According to HUD, housing affordability is the expenditure of no more than 30 percent of gross household income on mortgage payments or monthly rents. This includes payment on principal and interest, property tax, and insurance. Table 8.11 shows that as of 2018, 998 households (22.7%) of Grand Terrace’s 4,392 total households overpaid for housing.

Approximately 89 percent of households who overpay are renter-occupied households. Mitigating this need involves making affordable units available for both owner and renter-occupied households.

Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | May 2024
Figure 8.13 Cost Burden by Tenure and Race/Elderly/Housing Size The distinction between renter and owner overpayment is important because, while homeowners may overextend themselves financially to purchase a home, they retain the option of selling.

Renters, however, are limited to the rental market and are generally required to pay the rent established in that market.

Overpayment for housing is a regional issue and Grand Terrace residents experience overpayment that is comparable to residents across the entire SCAG region. Among Grand Terrace’s 1,627 renter households, 893 (54.9%) spend thirty percent or more of their gross income on housing costs, compared to 55.3% in the SCAG region. Additionally, 429 renter households in Grand Terrace (26.4%) spend fifty percent or more of their gross income on housing cost, compared to

28.9% in the SCAG region. Lower-income renters typically spend a much higher portion of their incomes for housing than those in higher income categories.

Households that overpay for housing are unevenly distributed by income group, and extremely low-income households are most severely affected. Approximately 97 percent of extremely lowincome households are overpaying for housing, compared to 65 percent of very low-income households, and 72 percent of low-income households that are overpaying. Approximately 92 percent of extremely low-income households, 52 percent of very low-income, and 29 percent of low-income households are severely overpaying (spending more than 50 percent of household income on housing.)2

Housing Overcrowding
The U.S. Census defines overcrowded housing units as one occupied by 1.01 persons or more per room (excluding bathrooms and kitchens). Severe overcrowding exists when there are more than

1.5 residents per room. Overcrowding increases health and safety concerns and stresses the condition of the housing stock and infrastructure. Overcrowding can take a variety of forms. Many overcrowded households may include three generations or extended families. More than two families may share the same units, or a family may be renting living space to non-family members.

Overcrowding results directly from lack of affordability, as large households find that they are unable to afford units of sufficient size to meet their needs and are forced to economize beyond modern acceptable standards.

Table 8.12 shows that 194 of all households in Grand Terrace were living in overcrowded conditions, which represents about 4.4 percent of the total 4,392 households in the City. Renters experience overcrowding as a slightly higher rate than homeowners (5.4 percent and 3.8 percent respectively.)

Future Housing Needs
The regional growth allocation process begins with the California Department of Finance projection of population by age group. The projections are used by HCD to compute housing demand, both statewide and for each of the official regions. In the Southern California region, SCAG’s RHNA allocates to each jurisdiction its “fair share” of the future regional housing need.

The 2021-2029 housing need allocation for the City of Grand Terrace is shown in Table 8.13.

During this planning period, the City is expected to accommodate 630 dwelling units.

Approximately 30 percent of these units should accommodate very low-income households and 15 percent should accommodate low-income households.

Regional Housing Needs Assessment for 6th Cycle Housing Element Update.

The RHNA allocation does not distinguish between very low- and extremely low-income households (less than 30% of County median income), but instead gives a projection for households with incomes for very low income (at or less than 50 percent of the County median), low income (at or less than 80 percent of the County median), moderate (at or less than 120 percent of the County median), and above-moderate income (at or above 120 percent of the County median). To determine the number of units for extremely low-income households, the City utilizes a proxy of 50 percent of very low-income units to be reserved for extremely low-income households. This equates to 95 units for extremely low incomes. Extremely low-income households are those with incomes representing less than 30 percent of the median income and very low-income households are those representing 30-50 percent of median income.

Housing Element
VIII-27
Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | May 2024
One strategy the City will implement to accommodate these income levels is through ADU production and re-zoning/upzoning. The Housing Resources section describes the City’s many policies and programs to increase production and affordability of housing to accommodate the 630 RHNA units.

Special Housing Needs
There are households with identifiable special needs, as defined by California law, for which the City must plan. Such groups have a greater difficulty in finding affordable housing due to special circumstances, which may be related to employment, income, family characteristics, disability, or other conditions. As a result, some residents may experience a higher prevalence of overpayment, overcrowding, or other housing problems. These groups include persons with disabilities, the elderly, large households, female-headed households, farmworkers, and people experiencing homelessness. Each special needs category is discussed in greater detail below. Table 8.14 provides an overview of the presence of special needs populations within the City.

Persons with Disabilities
People living with disabilities represent a wide range of housing needs, depending on the type and severity of their disability. Table 8.16 shows residents of Grand Terrace who experience at least one of the following disabilities: sensory, physical, mental, self-care, and go-outside-home (independent living difficulty) according to the 2020 American Community Survey data. Just under 11 percent of the population experiences one or more forms of disability, the two most common being ambulatory and self-care difficulties. Over 30 percent of all seniors experienced a disability, and seniors had a higher prevalence of disability compared with other population cohorts across all disability categories.

Disabled persons may need housing assistance, including features such as wider doorways, ramps in place of stairs, and elevators for units with multiple stories. These modifications have the potential to be expensive and are not usually found in older dwelling units. Ongoing enforcement of the City's Building Code, which is in conformity with State law, ensures that new construction will be accessible to disabled persons, though all units may not have all the features needed by specific individuals. Depending on the type and severity of disability, these individuals may

Housing Element
VIII-29
Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | May 2024
experience unemployment or underemployment and require more affordable housing options.

Zoning that accommodates higher-density housing allows for affordable-by-design options that may serve this population well. Locating housing near services and public transit may benefit those with ambulatory difficulties. ADUs are another housing option that provide multiple benefits for those experiencing a disability. It can afford them a less expensive housing accommodating than a single-family home or provide additional rental income. It may allow someone with a new disability to remain in their home in that it provides housing accommodating for a caregiver or family member to provide assistance. Vista Blue Mountain provides assisted living and memory care units for seniors, which is discussed further in the Elderly section.

Persons with Developmental Disabilities
Developmental disabilities need to be considered, along with the more commonly understood mental and physical disabilities. Chapter 507, Statutes of 2010 (SB 812), which took effect January 2011, amended State housing element law to require the analysis of the disabled to include an evaluation of the special housing needs of persons with developmental disabilities. According to Section 4512 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code, a developmental disability “originates before an individual attains age 18 years, continues, or can be expected to continue, indefinitely, and constitutes a substantial disability for that individual, which includes mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and autism.” This term shall also include disabling conditions found to be closely related to mental retardation but shall not include other handicapping conditions that are solely physical in nature.

Many persons with developmental disabilities can live and work independently within a conventional housing environment. More severely disabled individuals require a group living environment where supervision is provided. The most severely affected individuals may require an institutional environment where medical attention and physical therapy are provided. Because developmental disabilities exist before adulthood, the first issue in supportive housing for the developmentally disabled is the transition from the person’s living situation as a child to an appropriate level of independence as an adult.

The state Department of Developmental Services (DDS) currently provides community-based services through 21 community-based nonprofit corporations known as regional centers. The regional centers serve as a local resource to help find and access services and support available to individuals and families once eligibility is determined. The Inland Regional Center (IRC) provides services to more than 25,000 people with developmental disabilities and their families in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Recent data published by the DDS for Grand Terrace is shown in Table 8.17. Currently, the center assists approximately 262 Lakewood residents and their families. Of that figure, 107 are less than 18 years of age, and the remaining 48 are 18 years or older.

Housing Element
VIII-30
Grand Terrace General Plan Draft | May 2024
Table 8.17 Developmental Disabilities – Grand Terrace
A number of housing types are appropriate for people living with a developmental disability, including rent-subsidized homes, licensed single-family homes, and homes available through the Housing Choice Voucher (see Program 5 Section 8 Rental Assistance). The design of housing accessibility modifications, the proximity to services and transit, and the availability of group living opportunities represent some of the considerations that are important in serving this group.

Incorporating barrier-free designs in all new multifamily housing, as required by California and federal Fair Housing laws, along with affordability, is especially important in housing for disabled residents.

To address the needs of persons with disabilities, the City adopted Chapter 18.66 Reasonable Accommodations, which provides a simple and inexpensive process for persons with disabilities, including those with developmental disabilities, to request modifications to City codes and regulations, such as ramps or accessible room additions within building setbacks, if necessary to accommodate the disability. In addition, state-licensed facilities that house persons with disabilities are permitted within the residential zones of the City.

Additionally, below are a number of available services programs for persons with disabilities for individuals in Grand Terrace.
• Southern California Resource Services for Independent Living. SCRS-IL is a crossdisability, nonresidential, disability rights agency empowering people with any disability to live full and independent lives. Services include housing assistance; assistive technology; and educational, vocational, and job assistance.
• The Arc. The Arc of California maintains an advocacy network of self-advocates, family members, service providers, and community members dedicated to promoting and protecting the civil rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. • Inland Regional Center (IRC). The IRC supports people with intellectual disabilities, autism, cerebral palsy, and epilepsy and provides case management. The IRC contracts with

community-based service providers to help clients live the most independent and empowered lives possible.
• Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC). ADRC serves older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers with information and access to available long-term services and support. ADRC partners with organizations to provide transition services, interim and short services, and options counseling.
• OPARC. OPARC offers flexible development programs designed to teach life, social, and employment skills. Each person is matched with a team of support staff who help them identify goals and objectives.

Elderly
The U.S. Census defines persons 65 years of age and older as elderly. As shown in Table 8.18, an estimated 14.5 percent of the City’s population (1,284 persons) was at least 65 years old in 2020.

The number of elderly people in the City increased from 2000 to 2010, then from 2010 to 2020, returned to nearly 2000 numbers. However, the percent of the population that is elderly has steadily been increasing since 2000.

It is likely that the elderly population will continue to increase due to two factors:
(1) The U.S. population nationwide is aging as the baby boom population (born between 1946 and 1964) approaches their senior years; and
(2) Many long-time residents chose to stay in the City.

HUD defines an elderly household as one that is comprised of one or more persons at least one of whom is 62 years of age or more. The 2014-2018 CHAS estimates of elderly households in Grand Terrace by income and tenure are shown in Table 8.19. Of Grand Terrace’s 1,244 elderly households, 9.0% earn less than 30% of the surrounding area income, (compared to 11.6% in San Bernardino County), 9.0% earn 30-50% of the surrounding area income (compared to 13.9% in San Bernardino County).

The median income for all households regardless of age is $70,200 citywide and $65,761 countywide. The median income of the elderly population in the City is approximately $22,800 lower than the average resident, which highlights the need for affordable housing options targeted to elderly. The lower incomes of elderly may partially be explained by the fact that elderly populations often live on a fixed income. They also tend to have a significant portion of their net worth tied up in non-liquid assets, such as property. These “house-rich, cash-poor” individuals represent significant need. When considering median household income, it is important to recognize income is distinct from net worth. While some elderly people may have lower annual incomes, they may have built up considerable wealth from earlier years to save for a comfortable retirement.

As people age, they often find themselves facing additional housing problems they may not have had to cope with previously. Grand Terrace’s elderly population has special housing needs associated with affordability, maintenance, and upkeep of their homes, as well as physical access.

Elderly persons are more likely to have fixed incomes and have a substantial portion of their financial resources in non-liquid assets, such as property. They often spend a higher percentage of their income on food, housing, medical care, and personal care compared to non-elderly persons.

Elderly persons may have special needs related to housing location and construction. Because of limited mobility, elderly persons typically need more proximal access to medical services, amenities such as shopping, and public transit. In terms of housing construction, elderly persons may need ramps, handrails, elevators, lower cabinets and counters, and special security devices to allow for greater self-protection. In addition, the elderly may require assistance with housekeeping, maintenance, and repairs to remain in their own homes for as long as possible.

Special consideration should be given for recreational and social amenities for the elderly.

Homeless
The SCAG defines the homeless as those "sleeping out" in makeshift shelters, in cars and under freeway overpasses, and those who are "at risk" of homelessness in that they are sharing housing on a temporary basis, are living in single-room occupancy hotels, or their Calworks or other general relief stipend has been canceled twice within one year because they had no forwarding address.

The homeless are the community’s most vulnerable residents. The homeless often face chemical dependency, mental health problems, domestic violence, and other life-threatening conditions.

Individuals and families experience homelessness for a variety of reasons, and therefore a homeless population may have a variety of needs. A homeless person may need medical care, childcare assistance, credit counseling, substance abuse treatment, job training, and/or English language education, among other services.

According to the 2020 San Bernardino County Homeless Count and Subpopulation Survey Report3 there were 3,125 persons who were counted as homeless in the County on Thursday, January 23, 2020. The previous homeless count and subpopulation survey was completed in 2019 when 2,607 homeless persons were counted. A comparison of the last two counts reveals that:
• 518 more persons were counted in 2020, which represents an increase of 19.9%; • 470 more persons were counted as unsheltered in 2020 when compared to the unsheltered count in 2019, which represents an increase of 24.5%; and • 48 more persons were counted as sheltered in 2020 when compared to the sheltered count in 2019, which represents an increase of 7.0%.

The 2020 homeless count reported five unsheltered homeless persons in Grand Terrace. Only one homeless individual was counted in 2019. Of the 5 unsheltered homeless people counted in Grand Terrace, volunteers were able to administer 3 surveys revealing that 67 percent were substance abusers, 67 percent were mentally ill, none were victims of domestic violence, 67 percent were persons released from jails or prison during the past 12 months, 33 percent were chronically homeless, 67 percent were youth ages 18 to 24, 67 percent were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity, and none were US veterans. In total, the Grand Terrace homeless population makes up less than one percent of the County total.

The City of Grand Terrace participates in the San Bernardino County Continuum of Care Plan, which helps bring homeless people into shelters, provides supportive services, and helps in the transition to permanent housing. Most of the homeless shelters in San Bernardino County are located in or near the City of San Bernardino where the largest number of homeless persons are located.

In addition, the Frazee Community Center provides a wide range of services to low-income and homeless persons in the San Bernardino area. Services include housing assistance, clothing, nutrition, as well as referral services. Frazee is a nonprofit corporation and receives funds from United Methodist Churches and other denominations as well as Arrowhead United Way, East Valley United Way, and the City and County of San Bernardino, City of Highland, City of Redlands. Frazee also receives grants and donations from individuals, corporations, and other organizations. Frazee operates three shelters— two veteran’s shelters for men in San Bernardino and one women’s shelter in Highland. In addition, Frazee offers a no-cost lunch to those in need during the weekdays.

Inland Temporary Homes operates a homeless shelter that provides housing to six families with a maximum stay of 90 days as well as transitional housing to 20 families (16 single family units and four attached units) with a maximum stay of two years. Inland Temporary Homes also provides various services including case management, career counseling, mental health counseling, and 3 https://wp.sbcounty.gov/dbh/sbchp/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/2020-SBC-Homeless-Count-Report.pdf

follow-up services for families that complete the shelter program but do not enter the transitional housing program.

Option House provides services to women and children who are victims of domestic violence. In addition to shelter services, Option House offers in-house classes, legal advisors, support groups, and treatment for a range of issues. The organization helps over 300 people in its shelter and over 200 with legal services.

The Salvation Army provides the homeless (families, individuals with children, and women) with daily meals, day care, and some monetary assistance. In addition, they assist families with counseling, motel vouchers, money for gasoline, prescriptions, utility bills, and toiletries.

Currently, the San Bernardino location provides 48 families with transitional housing ranging from 30 days to three years as well as 14 emergency shelter units that are made available on a day-today basis.

The Inland Empire United Way runs a hotline for San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. Those who are in danger of homelessness or already homeless can call 2-1-1 if they are in need of food, shelter, or assistance paying their rent and utilities. The 2-1-1 service also makes referrals for animal care, disaster resources, help for elderly veterans, clothing, disability programs, low-cost child and medical care, job training, and governmental programs.

Additionally, the Homeless Outreach and Proactive Enforcement (H.O.P.E.) program is a proactive approach intended to ultimately reduce calls for service and other resources currently required to deal with the homeless population. A community policing philosophy will be used to link the homeless population with resources and service providers throughout the county.

Emergency shelters are defined by the California Health and Safety Code Section 50801 as “housing with minimal supportive services for homeless persons that is limited to occupancy of

six months or less by a homeless person. No individual or household may be denied emergency shelter because of an inability to pay.” The City Zoning Code has recently been updated to allow the development of emergency shelters by right in the M2-Industrial zone. The M2 Zoning District covers approximately 178 Acres within the City. All of these parcels are within .25, .5, and 1 miles within transit services.

Employee Housing
The City of Grand Terrace has very few persons employed in the farming, fishing, and forestry occupations. .In 2021 estimates were that nine people (0.15%) of the 12,426 population in Grand Terrace have farming, fishing, and forestry occupations. .Agriculture, forestry, and fishing industry does not make up a large percentage of employment in the City; therefore, farmworker housing need can be met through general affordable housing programs.

The most recent data from the US Department of Agriculture’s National Agriculture Statistics Service indicates that in San Bernardino County there are an estimated 2,246 people hired as farmworkers in the year 2017. Of these, an estimated 546 were migrant workers.

Pursuant to Health and Safety Code 17021.5 and 17021.6, farmworker housing for fewer than six individuals should be treated as a single-family home and not require a discretionary approval.

Agricultural employee housing with no more than 36 beds in a group quarters or 12 units designed for the use of a single household is permitted by right in agricultural land-use designations. Grand Terrace’s code does not currently allow farmworker housing within its agricultural overlay districts. Program 12 Employee Housing is included to amend the code to allow for farmworker housing within all agricultural zones throughout the City in compliance with the Employee Housing Act.

Large Households
State housing law defines large households as those consisting of five or more members. Large households are considered a special needs group because it may be difficult for these households to secure adequately sized, affordable housing. Large households on limited incomes may reside in smaller dwelling units to balance housing costs with other financial responsibilities, which may lead to overcrowding. Trends in new housing construction indicate a movement toward smaller units, which adds to the difficulty of large households finding larger units at affordable prices. This difficulty is heightened for renters because rental units are typically smaller than single-family units.

In 2020, approximately 10 percent (428) of Grand Terrace’s 4,380 households were considered large households. This is a much smaller proportion as seen countywide where 19 percent of households are large. Of those large households in the City, 81 percent (345) lived in owneroccupied units, while 19 percent (83) lived in rental housing. Between 2010 and 2020, the percentage of households in the City that are large households remained unchanged, but the distribution between renters and homeowners of large households shifted such that the share of large households owning their homes increased by 9 percent. In 2010, approximately 10 percent (446) of Grand Terrace’s 4,494 households were considered large households. Of those large households, 72 percent (321) lived in owner-occupied units, while 28 percent (125) rented.

In Grand Terrace, there is a higher proportion of large households owning their own home than compared to San Bernardino County as a whole, where 58 percent of large households own their home and 42 percent rent. In the City, the tenure split among large households mirrors that of all households regardless of household size: 62 percent of all households are owner occupied and 38 percent are renter occupied (see Table 8.22).

Large households tend to have more difficulty purchasing housing due to the financial constraints of supporting a larger household and because there is limited housing stock of adequate size.

Additionally, rental units with three or more bedrooms are not common, and large affordable rental units are even less common. This can lead to overcrowded housing conditions.

Table 8.23 provides a summary of housing problems experienced by large households and large families in Grand Terrace by tenure. Large families are a subset of large households in which all household members are related. This distinction is noted because the CHAS cost burden data is available for large families but not large households. CHAS 2014–2018 data indicates that 51 percent of large households experience at least one of the housing problems. Analyzing by tenure, 86 percent of large renter households and 44 percent of large owner households have at least one form of housing problem.

About 34 percent of large families experience a cost burden and 5 percent experience a severe cost burden. Large families that own their own home have a higher rate of overpayment (35 percent) compared to large-family renters (29 percent). This may indicate a need for more affordable homeownership options for 5-member households. It also suggests a need to encourage newly developed rental units to include three-bedroom floorplans.

Notes: Data presented in this table are based on special tabulations from sample Census data. The number of households in each category usually deviates slightly from the 100 percent total due to the need to extrapolate sample data out to total households. Interpretations of these data should focus on the proportion of households in need of assistance rather than on precise numbers. Large households are defined as any household with 5 or more people. Large families are a subset of large households in which all household members are related.

1. The four housing problems are: incomplete kitchen facilities, incomplete plumbing facilities, more than 1 person per room, and cost burden greater than 30 percent.

2. Cost burden occurs when housing costs exceed 30 percent of household income. For renters, housing cost is gross rent (contract rent plus utilities). For owners, housing cost is "select monthly owner costs," which includes mortgage payment, utilities, association fees, insurance, and real estate taxes. Severe cost burden occurs when housing costs exceed 50 percent of household income.

As of 2020, 65 percent of the City’s housing stock has three or more bedrooms (see Table 8.6).

This equates to 2,808 housing units to serve the estimated 445 large households that require at least three bedrooms to avoid over-crowded conditions. Most units with three or more bedrooms are owner occupied; only 418 are renter-occupied units. These figures do not consider whether it is actually large households who occupy these housing units.

Female-Headed Households
Female-headed households who do not have a spouse present are a special needs group because they tend to experience comparatively low rates of homeownership, lower incomes, and high poverty rates. Female-headed households are often further characterized by whether they have children in the household. Table 8.24 shows the number of female-headed households by tenure and presence of children. In 2020, 16.5 percent of households in Grand Terrace were femaleheaded households. This is similar to the County where female-headed households comprise 16.9 percent of all households. Of the 721 female-headed households in Grand Terrace, 265 (37 percent) had children under 18 and 456 (63 percent) had no children present.

In Grand Terrace, 20 percent of female-headed households (142 households) are below the poverty line. The County has an even higher poverty rate for female-headed households at 27 percent.

About 41 percent of female-headed households with children under 18 are below the poverty line in the City (37 percent in the County). The overall poverty rate among all household types is 7 percent Citywide and 12 percent Countywide, indicating that female-headed households experience a higher rate of poverty than nonfemale-headed households. 4 4 US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year Data (2016–2020), Table B17010.

Female-headed households in Grand Terrace have a lower rate of homeownership than the Citywide homeownership rate (52 percent and 62 percent respectively). However, the City’s female-headed household homeownership rate is higher than the County’s 42 percent.

Interestingly, despite their higher poverty rates, Grand Terrace’s female-headed households with children have a higher homeownership rate than is seen Citywide (69 percent compared to 62 percent.) Only 26 percent of female-headed households with children own their home Countywide.

While homeownership is generally viewed as desirable and a wealth-building opportunity, this may indicate a need for more affordable, family-friendly rental housing in the City.

Single-family detached rentals and multifamily housing with child-oriented amenities, such as playgrounds and onsite childcare, would help meet the housing needs of Grand Terrace’s single parent households. Affordable attached housing, such as condominiums, can also help meet the needs of female-headed and single-parent households. ADUs are another option that could serve this special needs group. ADUs can provide an additional source of rental income. They can facilitate multigenerational living on the same property, making it easier to live near family members that can offer familial support and help with childcare needs. The ADUs are generally a smaller, more affordable rental option than single-family dwellings but still provide ease of access to outdoor space that is desirable for children’s play and development.

Affordable childcare is a key service that can assist families and single parents to work and afford safe housing. According to kidsdata.org, the annual cost for fulltime licensed childcare centers is $15,247 for an infant and $10,140 for a preschooler in San Bernardino County. For a household earning a median income of $63,200, the cost is 16 to 24 percent of the median family income, but 39 to 26 percent of the income of very low income household ($39,500). The County implements three programs: center-based, family childcare, and home-based care. However, there is a significant shortage of infant/toddler care for children under age 3.

The following are a few resources and programs for Grand Terrace families, female-headed households, and single parent households to utilize.
• After-School Programs. Colton Joint Unified School District before- and after-school care to enhance academic, social, emotional, physical development. Includes a snack, homework time, and academic/recreational/enrichment.
