SUBJECT:

Resolution No. 8458 – A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hawthorne, California ordering the director of Public Works / City Engineer to prepare a report for the Street Lighting Maintenance District of the City of Hawthorne for fiscal year 2024-2025 as required by the Streets and Highways Code Section 22622.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve this Resolution No. 8458 DISCUSSION:

The City of Hawthorne operates its Street Lighting District under the State Street Lighting Act of 1972. Under this act, the City assesses for street lighting charges on a frontage-foot basis of benefits. This means that property having more intense lighting, such as a major arterial or Hawthorne Blvd., pays a higher rate per frontage foot than a residential area with a flat tariff, based on the number and types of lights provided. Tariff includes all poles, wiring, and maintenance necessary to operate this system. The rates assessed by the City’s Street Lighting Assessment District have not increased in the 52 years of its existence, though Southern California Edison’s costs have substantially increased. As part of our Street Lighting District procedures, it is recommended that the City Council order the City Engineer to prepare a report for the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year

SUBJECT:

Resolution No. 8459, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hawthorne, California, Proclaiming the Week of May 5, 2024 to May 11, 2024 as “Municipal Clerk’s Week.”
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8459.

DISCUSSION:

The Office of the Municipal Clerk is a vital part of local government that exists throughout the world. It is one of the oldest public servant position. Initiated in 1969, and sponsored by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (“IIMC”), Municipal Clerk’s Week recognizes the important role of Municipal Clerks in local government, and their contribution in servicing their communities and educating the public on the significance of their roles.

Municipal clerks perform some of the principal functions of the democratic process. With the assistance of their deputies, they administer the local elections which can take months to organize. They remind the city councils of certain restrictions on contemplated legislative actions. They prepare agendas, take minutes, maintain ordinance and resolution files, keep the municipality’s historical records and record the action of the various commissions.

Their duties of the Municipal Clerk have expanded over the years and, today, modern technology assists them with their increasing responsibilities. To stay abreast of new computer applications, records management and other relevant information, many Municipal and Deputy Clerks return to the classroom to increase their knowledge of these issues, learn new material and sharpen old skills.

The City of Hawthorne in support of and in recognition of the efforts of the International Institute Municipal Clerks (IIMC) designates May 5, 2024 through May 11, 2024, as Municipal Clerk’s Week in the City of Hawthorne.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Hawthorne City Council adopted the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan on May 12, 2020, which described the City’s housing and community development needs and strategies to address those needs over five years using HUD entitlement grant funds. The 2024-2025 Action Plan is the fifth and final of five annual plans implementing the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals to invest annual allocations of CDBG and HOME funds from HUD.

As part of its responsibility in receiving these funds, the City must prepare and submit an annual Action Plan outlining the proposed uses of CDBG and HOME funds to address the priorities in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. To comply with HUD regulations, the 2024-2025 Action Plan must be submitted to HUD on or before May 15, 2024.

For the 2024-2025 program year, the City anticipates it will receive approximately $1,215,028 of CDBG and $635,813 of HOME funds from HUD. The 2024-2025 Action Plan will invest the City’s current year CDBG and HOME allocations and $806,910.13 in prior year unprogrammed CDBG funds and $4,490,956.12 in prior year unprogrammed HOME funds to the following activities to be implemented from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
2024-2025 CDBG PROGRAM
Public Service Activities
South Bay Workforce Investment Board: Teen Center $96,150.00 New Star Family Justice Center: Domestic Violence Services $22,500.00 Family Promise of the South Bay: Housing Stabilization Services $20,000.00 Catholic Charities of LA: St. Margaret’s Emergency Assistance $22,604.00 The Richstone Family Center: Behavioral Health Services $21,000.00 Sub-Total: $182,254.00

CDBG TOTAL: $2,021,938.13

2024-2025 HOME PROGRAM
Housing Activities
City of Hawthorne: Acquisition, Rehab, Resale $1,600,000.00 City of Hawthorne: Homebuyer Assistance $350,000.00
City of Hawthorne: Rental Rehabilitation (includes PY23) $2,640,781.12 CHDO: Set-Aside PY20, 21, 22, 23, & 24 $472,407.00
Sub-Total: $5,063,188.12
Program Administration Activities
City of Hawthorne: HOME Program Administration $63,581.00 Sub-Total: $63,581.00
HOME TOTAL: $5,126,769.12
It is important to note that the proposed $1,600,000 of HOME funds for the Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resale (ARR) project will be utilized to leverage additional financing, primarily from the Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing) grant. In the event the City is not awarded the PRO Housing grant, a minor amendment will be completed to reprogram $800,000 from the ARR project to the ongoing Rental Rehabilitation project. Under this scenario, the revised ARR budget would be $800,000, and the revised Rental Rehabilitation project budget would be $3,440,781.12. This approach ensures strategic investment of funds in active projects to maximize positive community impacts.

Additionally, the City is requesting up to $5,740,140 in Section 108 Loan Guarantee funds to assist with various public facility improvements. To facilitate a more streamlined process, the City is including the anticipated use of funds as part of this Action Plan. However, it should be noted that the following activities will only be carried out upon approval of the City’s Section 108 Loan application by HUD.
2024-2025 SECTION 108 LOAN PROGRAM
Capital Activities
City of Hawthorne: Senior Center $3,300,000.00
City of Hawthorne: Ramona Park $700,000.00
City of Hawthorne: Jim Thorpe Baseball Field $500,000.00 City of Hawthorne: Eucalyptus Park $1,240,140.00
Sub-Total: $5,740,140.00
In the event the City’s 2024-2025 annual allocation should change, a request of the City Council is being made to provide staff and the public with a methodology for which activity budgets would be adjusted. It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following language for adjusting activity budgets for the CDBG and HOME programs should the City’s 2024-2025 annual allocation change:

• Should the CDBG allocation be greater than $1,215,028:
o Fair Housing Services will remain at $30,000 but the CDBG Administration budget will be increased to be compliant with the 20% cap for administrative activities. o All public service activities will receive an equitable increase to be compliant with the 15% cap for public services activities.
o Balance of funds will be added to the City’s Acquisition and Rehabilitation activity. o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024-2025 Action Plan
• Should the CDBG allocation be less than $1,215,028:
o Fair Housing Services will remain at $30,000 but the CDBG Administration budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 20% cap for administrative activities. o All public service activities will receive an equitable reduction to be compliant with the 15% cap for public services activities.
o Balance of funds will be deducted from the City’s Acquisition and Rehabilitation activity.
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024-2025 Action Plan.
• Should the HOME allocation be greater than $635,813:
o The HOME Administration budget will be increased to be compliant with the 10% cap for administrative activities.
o The CHDO activity budget will be increased to be compliant with the 15% set-aside requirement.
o Balance of funds will be added to the City’s Homebuyer Assistance program. • Should the HOME allocation be less than $635,813:
o The HOME Administration budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 10% cap for administrative activities.
o The CHDO activity budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 15% set-aside requirement.
o Balance of funds will be added to the City’s Homebuyer Assistance program.

Furthermore, the City has proposed a substantial amendment to the 2021-2022 Action Plan for the use of HOME-ARP funds. The proposed amendment was informed by the recent Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process, which had the aim of identifying capable subrecipients to implement the TBRA program and provide supportive services to qualifying populations within the City. Regrettably, the response to the NOFA did not yield any subrecipients interested in delivering the TBRA program. However, it attracted a surplus of applicants willing to provide supportive services, surpassing the funding allocation.

In light of these outcomes, the City decided to reevaluate its allocation strategy for the HOMEARP program. Consequently, the revised allocation will now prioritize funding for supportive services alongside administration and planning activities for the HOME-ARP program. This adjustment ensures that the City’s resources are efficiently allocated to meet the pressing needs of the community, focusing on providing essential supportive services to those in need while

streamlining administrative efforts for effective program implementation. As a result, the Allocation Plan was amended to reflect the following:
2021-2022 HOME-ARP PROGRAM
Capital Activities
Supportive Services $1,841,694.00
City of Hawthorne: Administration $325,004.00
Sub-Total: $2,166,698.00
For purposes of the National Environmental Policy Act and the California Environmental Quality Act, approval of the draft 2024-2025 Action Plan, draft Substantial Amendment to the 2021-2022 Action Plan, and draft Substantial Amendment to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan is categorically exempt from environmental review. Before the commitment or release of funds for each of the proposed projects, HUD requires that the environmental impact of all activities outlined in the Action Plans be assessed and documented according to applicable program regulations. An appropriate environmental review will be prepared for each approved activity prior to entering into an agreement with any entity to receive CDBG or HOME funds.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN:

None
FISCAL IMPACT:

The City’s anticipated FY2024-2025 federal entitlement program budget is $1,215,028 in CDBG and $635,813 in HOME funds. Approval of the draft 2024-2025 Action Plan will not impact the General Fund as such costs, including staff and legal counsel costs related to preparation and review of contractual agreements with funding recipients, will be covered by CDBG and HOME administrative allocations. Approval of the draft substantial amendment to the 2021-2022 Action Plan will not impact the General Fund as such costs will be covered by the HOME-ARP allocation.

NOTICING PROCEDURES:

In compliance with federal regulations, a Notice of Public Hearing was published on March 21, 2024, in the Hawthorne Press-Tribune, informing the public of the availability of the draft 2024- 2025 Action Plan, draft Substantial Amendment to the 2021-2022 Action Plan, and draft Substantial Amendment to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. A copy of the draft documents was made available at City Hall, the Hawthorne Public Library, and on the City’s website for public review and comment from March 21, 2024, through and including April 23, 2024.

ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
The City of Hawthorne has prepared the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan as a requirement to receive Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds. The Consolidated Plan provides the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with a comprehensive assessment of the City’s housing and community development needs and outlines the City’s priorities, objectives and strategies for the investment of CDBG and HOME funds to address these needs over the next five years, beginning July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2025.

The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, awards grants and loans to nonprofit, for-profit or public organizations for programs and projects in furtherance of this Plan. The CDBG and HOME programs generally provide for a wide range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income Hawthorne residents, as discussed below.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created the CDBG Program. The primary objective of the CDBG program is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderateincome. The CDBG regulations require that each activity meet one of the following national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons; or
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or • Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency (usually the result of a natural disaster).

Each year, the City certifies with the submission of its Annual Action Plan that it has given maximum feasible priority to activities, which meet the first and second objectives above. Additionally, the City certifies that no less than 70 percent of the CDBG funds received, over a three-year certification period, will be designed to benefit low- and moderate-income persons.

HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program
The Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 created the HOME program to expand the supply of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households. Often used in partnership with local nonprofit housing development organizations, the HOME program can support a wide range of affordable housing activities, including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating rental and ownership housing or providing direct rental assistance to low- and moderate-income people.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Executive Summary 8 Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the President signed it on March 27, 2020 authorizing $2.2 trillion in a variety of stimulus measures to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The law includes $2 billion for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement communities. The City of Hawthorne receives regular formula-based entitlement grants of CDBG and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) each year.

August 2020 Amendment

2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview
The priority needs and goals identified in the Plan needs assessment are based on analysis of information including the results of the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Survey of residents and stakeholders and the housing and community development data elements required by HUD in the online Consolidated Plan system (the eCon Planning Suite). Data supplied by HUD includes the 2011-2015 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) covering the same time period. Other sources of information used to identify needs and establish priorities were obtained through consultation with local nonprofit agencies involved in the development of affordable housing and the delivery of public services to children, families, elderly persons, and persons with special needs throughout the community.

In consideration of community input and available data, the eight (8) priority needs listed below are established as part of this Plan:
• Preserve the supply of affordable housing
• Increase the supply of affordable housing for low-income individuals, families, persons with special needs and persons experiencing homelessness
• Public services for low-and moderate-income income residents • Ensure equal access to housing opportunities
• Improve public facilities and infrastructure
• Address material barriers to accessibility
• COVID-19 Impact
• Promote economic opportunities
Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Executive Summary 13 Consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG and HOME programs to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, the priority needs listed above will be addressed over the next five years through the implementation of CDBG and HOME funded activities aligned with the following measurable goals included in the Strategic Plan section of this Plan:

• Provide access to local facilities that contribute to community and neighborhood development through the payment of section 108 loan

4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The Consolidated Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91 provide the citizen participation and consultation requirements for the development of the Consolidated Plan. Chief among those requirements is the need to consult with the Continuum of Care (CoC) to address homelessness, Public Housing Authorities (PHA), business leaders, civic leaders and public or private agencies that address housing, health, social service, victim services, employment, or education needs of low-income individuals and families, homeless individuals and families, youth and/or other persons with special needs. This qualitative input was combined with a quantitative analysis of demographic, housing and socioeconomic data to develop the strategic plan that reflects the housing, community and economic development needs and priorities for the City of Hawthorne over the next five years.

In accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, residents and stakeholders were able to participate in the development of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan through surveys, community meetings and public hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low- and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Efforts were made to encourage the participation of minorities and nonEnglish speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. The consultation process included representatives of the CoC, PHA, and other specified groups who completed surveys, provided local data, and assisted the City to ensure practical coordination of strategies to maximize impact and to avoid duplication of effort.

PR-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction
The City of Hawthorne consulted with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, creation of job opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, and/or provision of services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following methods:
• Survey of residents and stakeholders (web-based and paper surveys) • Individual stakeholder consultations
• Community meetings
• Community events
• Public hearings
• Receipt of written comments
To gather the greatest breadth and depth of information, the City consulted with a wide variety of agencies, groups and organizations concerning the housing, community and economic development needs of the community. Each of the agencies, groups or organizations invited to consult and participate in the planning process is represented in Table 3. The input received from these consultations helped establish and inform the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan.

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

The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of their programs. As a result, during the development of this Consolidated Plan, the City consulted closely with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community-focused agencies. Outreach efforts included surveys including specific questions associated with coordination, invitations to community meetings and follow-up in-person interviews where appropriate.

The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the upcoming five (5) year planning period with these organizations and agencies. The City will work on strengthening relationships and alignment among these organizations.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness
Los Angeles County’s homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) is comprised of a network of public, private, faithbased, for-profit, and non-profit service providers who utilize several federal, state and local resources to provide services for homeless people. The region’s municipalities, including the City of Hawthorne, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. The non-profit and faith-based community plays a key role in the current CoC system. Hundreds of agencies throughout the Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: The Process 18
County provide programs ranging from feeding the homeless on the street to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are available to homeless families with children, and single men and women. The non-profit and faith-based community also serves special needs populations, such as victims of domestic violence, veterans, the disabled and youth.

The CoC guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. The City provided a detailed questionnaire to the CoC to identify the CoC’s perceived needs in the county and its objectives to address the needs of different homeless persons populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth and persons at risk of homelessness. Following the delivery and response to this questionnaire, the City followed up with the CoC to clarify existing needs and objectives and understand opportunities for collaboration and coordination during the five year planning process.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS
The City and the COC will continue to work together to develop performance standards that provide a measure to evaluate each ESG subrecipients effectiveness, such as how well the service provider succeeded at 1) targeting those who need the assistance most; 2) reducing the number of people living on the streets or emergency shelters; 3) shortening the time people spend homeless; and 4) reducing each program participant’s housing barriers or housing stability risks. These performance standards will be incorporated into the City’s Subrecipient Agreement, and to the extent possible, will be tracked and measured in HMIS. Table 3 provides a listing of the entities consulted as part of this planning process.

PR-15 Citizen Participation

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting The City established and followed a process for the development of this five-year Consolidated Plan that included broad participation from the community. These activities were coordinated and implemented by the Housing Department.

To assist in the identification of priority needs in the City, a survey was prepared and distributed to residents of the City to solicit resident input in the prioritization of needs related to community services, community facilities, infrastructure, neighborhood services, special needs services, businesses and jobs, and housing. The surveys were available online and also were made available at various public facilities.

Two community meetings to discuss the housing and community development needs in the community were held on September 26, 2019 and October 19, 2019.

At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low- and moderate-income residents, members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved.

In the preparation of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City followed the process established for citizen participation set forth in the Citizen Participation Plan. To promote greater public accessibility to program documents, the Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated Plan, Action Plans and CAPERs will be posted on the City website at: http://www.cityofhawthorne.org/
August 2020 Amendment
Given the urgency to design and launch programs with the CDBG-CV allocation, the CARES Act authorized grantees with the flexibility of providing 5-day public review periods and the authority to use virtual public hearings to fulfill applicable public hearing requirements. On March 31, 2020, HUD issued a memo authorizing grantees to modify public review and hearing requirements to comply with this flexibility. The City of Hawthorne requested the use of these waivers on July 30, 2020 and received approval from HUD on August 5, 2020 to utilize them.

As such, the City of Hawthorne conducted a 5-day review period for this substantial amendment from August 20 – August 25, 2020. The City conducted a virtual public hearing for the substantial amendment as part of the August 25, 2020 City Council meeting. No comments from the public were received. City Councilmember Mike Talleda made a comment that the Council should consider augmenting the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program from $400,236 by reallocating the $750,000 budgeted for the Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) project in the draft Action Plan Amendment. The City Council agreed and voted unanimously to approve the Action Plan Amendment with said modifications.

Table 5 – Citizen Participation Outreach
Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment 35 Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The Needs Assessment section of the Consolidated Plan examines housing, homelessness, non-homeless special needs and non-housing community development needs. The housing needs assessment section evaluates household income, tenure (renter or owner), housing cost as a function of household income, disproportionate need amongst racial and ethnic groups and public housing needs. The homeless needs assessment examines the sheltered and unsheltered homeless population in Los Angeles County to inform the City’s strategy to address homelessness during the next five years. The non-homeless special needs assessment section evaluates the needs of people who are not homeless but due to various reasons are in need of services including but not limited to elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence. The non-housing community development needs assessment section discusses the need for public facilities, public infrastructure improvements and public services to benefit low- and moderate-income residents.

Methodology
To assess community needs, the City examined data, held community meetings, conducted a Consolidated Plan Survey and consulted with local stakeholders. The Needs Assessment primarily relies on the following sources of data:
• American Community Survey (2011-2015, five-year estimates) • Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (2011-2015, five-year estimates) • Point in Time Count (2019)
• Center for Disease Control (2013-2017 Drug Overdose Death Rate Increases) • Annual HIV Surveillance Report (2017)
• State of California Department of Justice (2018)
• National Crime Victimization Survey (2018)
This report utilizes the 2011-2015 ACS 5-year estimates and the 2011-2015 CHAS 5-year estimates as they are the most current data sets supplied through HUD’s eCon Planning Suite.

Consolidated Plan Survey for Residents and Stakeholders Hawthorne residents had the opportunity to respond to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Survey to rate the need in Hawthorne for housing facilities, housing services, community services, services for special needs populations, neighborhood services, community facilities, infrastructure and business and jobs services. The results of the 58 Hawthorne residents who responded to the survey are represented in Figures 1-8 below.

Summary of Housing Needs
From 2009-2015, the City’s population increased slightly from 84,293 to 86,565 and the number of households increased from 27,432 to 29,160. The median household income increased from $44,052 to $44,504. The City of Hawthorne includes 29,160 households, of which 19,050 or 65.3% earn less than 80% of AMI and 10,110 or 34.7% earn more than 80% of AMI.

When evaluating housing needs and problems, the Consolidated Plan considers households that are cost burdened (pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing costs), overcrowded (more than one person per room), and lack complete plumbing and/or kitchen facilities. Of all households earning less than 80 percent of AMI, 10,330, or 54.2 percent, experienced at least one of these housing problems. This is most pronounced (43.6 percent) for households that earn less than 50 percent of AMI.

The ACS and CHAS data in Tables 6-13 below focus on the housing needs of different households in the City for different levels of income. Analysis of the tables indicate a high need for housing assistance targeted at 12,060 households earning at or below 50 percent of AMI, of which 10,434 pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing costs and 6,580 severely cost burdened households who pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs. Renter households that earn less than 50 percent of AMI are much more likely to experience cost burden than owner households at the same income range, 47.2 percent versus 7.4 percent respectively.

Table 7 presents the number of different household types in the City for different levels of income. Small Family Households consist of 2-4 family members, while large family households have more than 5 persons per household. The income levels are divided by different HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI) levels corresponding with HUD income definitions as follows:
• 0-30% HAMFI: extremely low-income - 22 percent of all households; • 30-50% HAMFI: low-income - 20 percent of all households; • 50-80% HAMFI: moderate-income -24 percent of all households; • 80-100% HAMFI: medium-income - 10 percent of all households; and • Greater than 100% of AMI upper income -25 percent of all households.

Based on 2007-2011 CHAS data, 65 percent of all households in the City of Hawthorne earned less than 80 percent of HAMFI, and 35 percent of all households earning 80 percent or more than HAMFI for the Los Angeles – Long Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Tables 8 and 9 indicate the number of renter- and owner-occupied households for different Area Median Income (AMI) levels that are experiencing housing problems. HUD defines four (4) different housing problems as:

1. Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or stove, or a refrigerator
Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment 41

2. Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet and a bathtub or shower

3. Overcrowding / severe overcrowding: A household is considered to be overcrowded if there are more than 1.01 people per room. A household is considered severely overcrowded if there are more than

1.5 people per room.

4. Cost burden / severe cost burden: A household is considered cost burdened if the household pays more than 30 percent of its total gross income for housing costs. A household is considered severely cost burdened if the household pays more than 50 percent of its total income for housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities.

Table 13 – Crowding Information – 2/2
Data Source: 2011-2015 CHAS data
Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.

There are 8,003 single person households in the City, representing 27.4 percent of all households.

Approximately 1,662 of the single person households are 65 years of age or older according to the ACS (), indicating that approximately 6,341 single person households are ages 18-64.

According to Table 10, 3,455 single person households categorized as “other” experienced a cost burden.

Other households include either single person households or unrelated households. Of those "other" households that are cost burdened, the majority are renters that earn between 0-20 percent of AMI. Over half of the homeowners that are cost burdened earn between 0-50 percent of AMI. According to Table 11, 1,955 households categorized as “other” experienced a severe cost burden. Of these “other” households experiencing a severe cost burden, the majority are renters earning 0-50 percent of AMI. By definition, singleperson households do not experience housing overcrowding. No data is available for single-person households occupying substandard housing units.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.

Based on ACS data, the total Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population age 16 and over in Hawthorne is 84,293.

Of this population, an estimated 5,394 persons have a disability and may require housing assistance. The obstacle to independent living for these adults is not only their disability, but also the lack of financial resources, often related to limited employment. Additionally, persons with disabilities have high health care costs, are dependent on supportive services, and may require accessibility modifications to accommodate their disability.

As such, evaluation of household income characteristics reveals that households with members that have a disability are more likely to be low- or moderate-income households with one or more of the four housing problems.

The State of California Department of Justice maintains statistics on domestic violence statewide by jurisdiction.

In 2018, the Hawthorne Police Department responded to a total of 302 calls related to domestic violence. Of these calls:
• 157 of these domestic incidents did not involve a weapon Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment 48 • 145 calls involved a weapon
• 1 domestic incidents involved firearm
• 8 domestic incidents involved a knife or cutting instruments • 25 domestic incidents involved other dangerous weapons • 111 domestic incidents involved personal weapons (i.e. feet or hands, etc.) • 3 domestic incidents involved strangulation
• 20 domestic incidents involved suffocation
Therefore, if each one of these calls represented a household with member(s) who required housing assistance, it can be estimated that there were up to 302 households in 2018 who were in need of some form of housing assistance. According to the 2018 National Crime Victimization Survey, this is a conservative estimate at best since most domestic violence cases (53 percent) are never reported to legal authorities. In households where physical violence occurred, it is possible that at least one member of the household will need to relocate to escape recurring violence. If 75 percent need to move, approximately 227 individuals – possibly with minor children – may require temporary housing assistance.

The form of housing assistance required for special needs populations varies depending on the specific circumstances of each case. The City recognizes that it is crucial to prioritize the creation of additional affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households. It is also important to ensure that both new and existing affordable housing opportunities are accessible to special needs populations such as victims of domestic violence, persons with disabilities, single heads of households, seniors and transition age youth.

What are the most common housing problems?
The most common housing problem in the City is cost burden, which affects 71 percent of low- and moderateincome households, including 11,650 renter households and 1,928 owner households who pay more than 30 percent of their monthly gross income for housing costs. Further, 38 percent of households earning 0-80 percent of AMI pay more than 50 percent of their monthly gross income for housing costs. This problem is particularly acute for renter households earning 0-50 percent of AMI and who pay 50 percent of their income for rent and utilities, as well as for homeowner households earning between 50-80 percent of AMI who experience a cost burden or severe cost burden.

According to information presented in Table 12, the second most common housing problem in the City is overcrowding. Overcrowded housing conditions occur primarily for one of two reasons. First, a single-family household will be overcrowded because the housing unit they occupy is too small to accommodate the number of people in the family. Second, overcrowding occurs when more than one family occupied a housing unit. Of the households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in Hawthorne:
• 4,190 (21.99 percent) are overcrowded
o 3,815 are renter households
o 3,380 are single-family households
o 340 are multiple, related family households
o 55 are other, non-family households
o 375 are owner households
Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment 49 o 200 are single-family households
o 175 are multiple, related family households
Based on the information in Table 12, family renter households are having the most difficult time renting a housing unit that is large enough to accommodate their families. However, compared to cost burden, the breadth of this problem is relatively lower.

Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? For households earning 0-80 percent of AMI, 6,420 small related households are cost burdened, of which 5,580 are renters and 840 are owners. For renters, households that earn 0-30 percent of AMI experience more cost burden than other income groups. For owners, cost burden is more evenly distributed among the income levels. In both tenure types, small and large related family households are the largest groups experiencing cost burden. According to data in Table 11, renters earning 0-30 percent of AMI are the most heavily impacted by severe cost burden, while owners earning 0-50 percent of AMI are the most severely cost burdened.

According to data in Table 12, overcrowded housing conditions primarily impact renter households with 91.05 percent of all overcrowded households comprised of renters. For the renter households that are overcrowded, 34 percent earn between 0-30 percent of AMI, 30 percent earn between 30-50 percent of AMI, 29 percent earn between 50-80 percent of AMI, and 8 percent earn between 80-100 percent of AMI.

Housing overcrowding mostly impacts extremely low-income renters. Evaluation of information in Table 12 showing housing overcrowded by household type reveals that overcrowding primarily impacts single family households. It is also noteworthy that there are 435 multiple, unrelated family households renting overcrowded units and that there are 205 multiple, unrelated family households occupying owner housing units.

Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance The leading indicators of risk for homelessness include extremely low income and housing cost burden. Tables 10 and 11 indicate the number of currently housed households with housing cost burdens more than 30 percent and 50 percent, respectively, by household type, tenancy, and household income. Based on the data in Table 10, 5,510 (41 percent) of households earning 0-30 percent of AMI in the City experience a cost burden.

Of these households, 5,035 (37.0 percent) are renters and 475 (3.4 percent) are owners. Most cost-burdened renter households are extremely low-income households. Of the 5,035 extremely low-income renters that are cost burdened, 4,480 are severely cost burdened, paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs. Because this group has the lowest income and has housing costs that are less fixed than homeowners, this group is generally viewed as being the most at-risk of homelessness.

Additionally, according to Table 13, 1,584 households earning less than 30 percent of AMI have one or more child 6 years old or younger. Of those 1,584 households, 1,415 are renter households which may be indicative of the number of households with young children that are currently housed that may be most at-risk becoming homeless or experiencing unstable housing.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment 50 If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates:

The assessment of at-risk populations is based on ACS and CHAS data in the Consolidated Plan using HUD definitions for household types and housing problems. In Hawthorne, the group that is most at-risk of homelessness includes those renters who earn 0-30 percent of AMI because this group has the lowest income and has housing costs that are not fixed.

Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
The leading indicators of risk for homelessness include extremely low income, housing cost burden, and severe cost burden. As discussed earlier, there are 4,480 extremely low-income severely cost burdened in Hawthorne.

This group has the lowest income and has housing costs that are not fixed. Therefore this group is viewed as being unstably housed and is generally the most at-risk of homelessness.

Discussion
Based on the data presented in Tables 6-13, the most significant housing needs exist for an estimated 6,724 low- and moderate-income households paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs, particularly renter households that account for the majority of severely cost burdened households. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, the 4,775 households earning less than 30 percent of AMI are the most at-risk of homelessness.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment 51 NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2)
Introduction
HUD requires all grantees to compare and assess the need for housing for any racial or ethnic group present in the community. A disproportionately greater need exists when the members of a racial or ethnic group experience a housing problem at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole. For example, when evaluating 0-30 percent of AMI households, if 50 percent of the households experience a housing problem, but 60 percent or more of a particular racial or ethnic group of households experience housing problems, that racial or ethnic group has a disproportionately greater need.

The housing problems identified in Tables 14-17 below are defined as:

1. Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or stove, or a refrigerator

2. Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet and a bathtub or shower

3. Overcrowding: A household is considered to be overcrowded if there are more than 1.01 people per room.

4. Cost burden: A household is considered cost burdened if the household pays more than 30% of its total gross income for housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities. 0%-30% of Area Median Income

Discussion
Based on this analysis, the following racial or ethnic groups were found to have disproportionately greater levels of housing problems relative to the percentage of all households in the given income category experiencing housing problems:
• Black / African American households with incomes of 30-50 percent • Asian households with incomes of 50-80 percent
• American Indian / Alaskan Native households with incomes of 0-30 percent of AMI At 0-30 percent of AMI, 88 percent of all households experience at least one housing problem. 100 percent of American Indian / Alaska Native (10) households at this income level experience a housing problem resulting in a disproportionately greater need.

At 30-50 percent of AMI, 81.5 percent of all households experience at least one housing problem. 97.9 percent of Black / African American (184) households at this income level experience a housing problem resulting in a disproportionately greater need.

At 50-80 percent of AMI, 61.9 percent of all households experience at least one housing problem. 72.6 percent of Asian (305) households at this income level experience a housing problem resulting in a disproportionately greater need.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment 54 NA-20 Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems –

91.205 (b)(2)
Introduction
Assessing housing conditions in the City provides the basis for developing strategies to maintain and preserve the quality of the housing stock. Similar to the previous section, a disproportionately greater need exists when the members of a racial or ethnic group experience a housing problem at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole. For example, when evaluating 0-30 percent of AMI households, if 50 percent of the households experience a housing problem, but 60 percent or more of a particular racial or ethnic group experiences a housing problem, that racial or ethnic group has a disproportionately greater need.

Severe housing problems include:

1. Lacks complete kitchen facilities: Household lacks a sink with piped water, a range or stove, or a refrigerator.

2. Lacks complete plumbing facilities: Household lacks hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet and a bathtub or shower.

3. Severe overcrowding: A household is considered to be severely overcrowded if there are more than

1.5 people per room.

4. Severe cost burden: A household is considered severely cost burdened if the household pays more than 50 percent of its total gross income for housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities.

Discussion
Based on this analysis, the following racial or ethnic groups were found to have a disproportionately greater level of severe housing problems relative to the percentage of all households in the given income category experiencing severe housing problems:
• Black / African American households with incomes of 30-50 percent • American Indian / Alaska Native households with incomes of 50-80 percent of AMI At 30-50 percent of AMI, 51.6 percent of all households experience at least one severe housing problem. 65.8 percent of Black / African American (125) households at this income level experience a severe housing problem resulting in a disproportionately greater need.

At 50-80 percent of AMI, 31.7 percent of all households experience at least one severe housing problem. 50 percent of Native Indian / Alaska Native (4) at this income level experience a severe housing problem resulting in a disproportionately greater need.

Due to the low share of American Indian / Alaskan Native and Pacific Islander households in the City, the estimates from the ACS and CHAS datasets for specific income levels present data with relatively large margins of error. As such, these populations are included in the analysis, but should be evaluated with the understanding of the larger margin of errors.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment 57 NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens – 91.205 (b)(2)
Introduction:

A disproportionately greater need exists when the members of a racial or ethnic group are cost burdened at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the population as a whole. For example, if 50 percent of the households are cost burdened, but 60 percent or more of a particular racial or ethnic group are cost burdened, that racial or ethnic group has a disproportionately greater level of cost burden. HUD defines cost burden as the extent to which gross housing costs, including utility costs, exceeds 30 percent of a given household’s gross income. A household is considered severely cost burdened if gross housing costs, including utility costs, exceeds 50 percent of a household’s gross income.

If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? No other housing needs for these specific racial or ethnic groups were identified through consultation with stakeholders o through citizen participation.

Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? Examination of CPD Maps (Figures 12-19) reveals the following for each of the racial or ethnic groups determined to have a housing problem or a severe housing problem:
• White: According to Figure 12, high concentrations of this race are located in the southwestern region of the City with most of these Census tracts ranging from 58-76 percent. • Black / African American: According to Figure 13, there is a concentration of this race located in the northeastern region of the City with Census tracts over 53 percent, however, several grater than 28 percent.
• Asian: According to Figure 14, concentrations are evenly distributed across the with most of these Census tracts ranging from 17-31 percent.
• American Indian / Alaska Native: According to Figure 15, there are no concentrations of this race in any particular area of the City. Each of the City’s Census tracts are comprised of fewer than 3 percent American Indian / Alaskan Native people.

Introduction
The Hawthorne Department of Housing through its Housing Authority (HHA) is responsible for administering the City’s public housing programs as the Housing Successor Agency for the City’s former Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The Housing Authority administers the City’s 711 Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8 vouchers) through the City but it does not own or maintain any HUD public housing developments. In addition, the Housing Authority serves 711 participants who have Housing Choice Vouchers from either the County or the City of Los Angeles through their portability provisions.

The City is within the service area of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA). The goal of LACDA is to “build better lives and better neighborhoods. LACDA currently manages an active portfolio of nearly 3,000 public housing units and more than 21,000 Section 8 vouchers.

The data presented in tables below is for LACDA activity in the City of Hawthorne. The narrative questions address the needs for both the City of Hawthorne and the entire county.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment 67 Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units:

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in any program or activity that is conducted by federal agencies or that receives financial assistance from a federal agency. A housing provider may not deny or refuse to sell or rent to a person with a disability and may not impose application or qualification criteria, rental fees or sales prices and rental or sales terms or conditions that are different than those required of or provided to persons who are not disabled. Further, housing providers may not require persons with disabilities to live only on certain floors, or to all live in one section of the housing.

Housing providers may not refuse to make repairs and may not limit or deny someone with a disability access to recreational and other public and common use facilities, parking privileges, cleaning or janitorial services or any services which are made available to other residents.

County-wide LACDA has 204 accessible public housing units available for disabled residents, representing 6.3% of the total units in public housing developments. LACDA has policies and procedures in place that are designed to provide assurances that all persons with disabilities, including applicants and current residents are provided with reasonable accommodations so that they may fully access and utilize LACDA's housing programs related services.

The City’s run Housing Choice Voucher program, which includes the County and City of Los Angeles Vouchers that it administers, gives families the flexibility to search for rental units on the open market that meet their disability related needs. For County public housing, LACDA estimates that 591 of the 1,642 households receiving a voucher have at least one member with a disability. LACDA provides resources through its website and at all offices on services available to households with disabilities.

Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders The Hawthorne Housing Authority and LACDA's primary goal is to fulfill the immediate needs of public housing residents: living in safe, decent and sanitary housing; and achieving self-sufficiency. The most pressing needs of residents include:
• Education support for youth
• Adult learning
• English as a Second language services
• Supportive services to special needs populations
• Workforce development
• Resident empowerment
• Public safety
• Social services
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The needs of public housing residents in Los Angeles County are very similar to the needs of very low-income and low-income households in Hawthorne as they are both requiring affordable housing and seeking similar services.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment 68 Discussion
The Hawthorne Housing Authority will continue administer the City’s Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8 vouchers) through the City in addition to the 539 Housing Choice Vouchers from either the County or the City of Los Angeles through their portability provisions.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment 69 NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)
Introduction:

There are four federally defined categories under which individuals and families may qualify as homeless: 1) literally homeless; 2) imminent risk of homelessness; 3) homeless under other Federal statues; and 4) fleeing/attempting to flee domestic violence.

According to the 2019 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress, over one quarter of the nation’s homeless population is in California and nearly half of all the nation’s homeless individuals are in three states: California (27 percent), New York (16 percent), and Florida (five percent). California and New York have the highest rate of homelessness among all individuals, at 38 and 46 people per 10,000 individuals.

Los Angeles County has more than 10 million residents and a geographic area of 4,081 square miles that includes 88 cities. Homelessness is addressed regionally through the Continuum of Care (CoC) led by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), a joint powers authority of the City and County of Los Angeles that coordinates and manages over $300 million annually in federal, state, county and city funds for programs providing shelter, housing and services to men, women and children experiencing homelessness. The Los Angeles County Continuum of Care includes the entire county with the exception of the cities of Glendale, Pasadena and Long Beach, who administer and operate their own CoC systems. To facilitate planning and administration of services, LAHSA adopted eight regional Service Planning Areas (SPAs). The City of Hawthorne is part of Service Planning Area (SPA) 8 – South Bay.

Nature and Extent of Homelessness in Los Angeles County vs. the National Average To better understand the nature and extent of homelessness, every year on a single night in January, HUD requires communities across the country to conduct a comprehensive count of their homeless population. The most recent available data is from the Point in Time Homeless Count (PIT Count) held in January 2019 and conducted by the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA). In recent years, HUD has expanded Point-in-Time (PIT) count data collection to include information on the number of young adults and children who are experiencing homelessness without a parent or guardian present. Unaccompanied youth are people under the age of 25 who are not accompanied by a parent or guardian and do not have a parent presenting with or sleeping in the same place. Of the 36,361 unaccompanied homeless youth under the age of 25 nationally counted in 2018, California reported the largest number of homeless unaccompanied youth (12,396 people), accounting for one-third of all unaccompanied youth. Of that amount, Los Angeles County reported 2,452 unaccompanied youth; an eleven percent decrease over the previous year. Of the 2,452 unaccompanied youth, 157 or seven percent were reported in SPA 8, which includes Hawthorne. 2019 PIT Count Results
The 2019 PIT Count reported that 58,936 men, women and children are homeless in Los Angeles County on any given night. Overall, 2019 PIT Count illustrates a 12 percent increase in homelessness when compared to the prior year PIT Count. The 2019 PIT Count for SPA 8 is 4,409 homeless persons on any given night. This is a seven percent increase since 2018. In 2018, the number of homeless persons in SPA 8 was 4,138.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Needs Assessment 70 Conversely, the City of Hawthorne 2019 PIT Count reported that 108 people are homeless on any given night. This represents a two percent decrease over the prior year of 149 homeless persons.

Table 28 - County Point-In-Time Homeless Counts
If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth):

A chronically homeless individual is an unaccompanied homeless individual (living in an emergency shelter or in an unsheltered location) with a disabling condition that has been continuously homeless for a year or more, or has had at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years. Of the 1,361 homeless individuals that were reported as chronically homeless in SPA 8, 35 individuals were sheltered, and 1,326 individuals were unsheltered.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 72 Families with children include at least one household member age 18 or over, and at least one household member under the age of 18. According to the 2019 PIT Count for SPA 8, there were 581 homeless family members (those persons in family units with at least one adult and one child). Of that amount, 453 family members were living in emergency or transitional shelters and 128 were unsheltered.

Veterans are persons who have served on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States. This does not include inactive military reserves or the National Guard unless the person was called up to active duty. The 2019 PIT Count revealed 180 sheltered veterans and 83 unsheltered veterans in SPA 8. Of these homeless veterans, 31 were chronically homeless veterans that were unsheltered, and 12 chronically homeless veterans were sheltered.

Unaccompanied youth are individuals under the age of 18 years old, who are presumed to be emancipated if they are unsheltered without an adult. No unaccompanied youth were reported homeless and unsheltered according to the 2019 PIT Count for SPA 8.

The 2019 PIT Count indicated that 915 homeless individuals in SPA 8 were severely mentally ill, meaning that they have mental health problems that are expected to be of long continued and indefinite in duration and will substantially impair their ability to live independently. Of the 915 homeless individuals in SPA 8 that were reported as severely mentally ill, 66 individuals were sheltered, and 849 individuals remained unsheltered.

The 2019 PIT Count indicated that there were 171 persons that were homeless and living with HIV/AIDS in SPA 8. Of the 171 persons, six were sheltered and 165 were unsheltered.

Table 29 - Nature and Extent of Homelessness
Data Source: LASHA 2019 Los Angeles Homeless Count – SPA 8 Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 73 Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans.

According to the 2019 PIT Count, there were a total of 581 homeless persons in family units in the Los Angeles County Service Planning Area (SPA) 8. Of that amount, 453 were living in emergency or transitional shelters and 128 persons in family units were unsheltered. Of the total of 581 homeless persons in family units, 353 were children under the age of 18 years. Based on this data, 581 persons in family units require housing affordable to extremely low-income households to reduce the number of homeless families with children in SPA 8.

Veterans are persons who have served on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States. This does not include inactive military reserves or the National Guard unless the person was called up to active duty. The 2019 PIT Count revealed a total of 263 homeless veterans in SPA 8. Of that amount, 180 veterans were sheltered and 83 were unsheltered veterans. Among the homeless veterans, 31 were chronically homeless and unsheltered and 12 were chronically homeless sheltered veterans. In SPA 8, an estimated 263 homeless veterans require housing units that are affordable to extremely-low or low-income households in order to reduce the number of homeless veterans.

Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.

According to the 2019 PIT Count, of the 4,409 homeless persons counted in SPA 8, the majority (1,676 persons or 38 percent) identified as Hispanic/Latino, followed by 1,363 (31 percent) Black/African American and 1,110 (25 percent) identified as White. This last statistic is consistent with the County, State and nation as a whole, where Black people are more likely than White people to experience homelessness in the United States.

Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.

According to the 2019 PIT Count, of the 108 homeless persons in Hawthorne, 99 were unsheltered and 9 were sheltered. Of the 99 unsheltered persons, the majority, or 44 percent (44 persons), were living on the street; 28 percent (28 persons) were living in cars; and, 27 percent were living in vans, campers or recreational vehicles (27 persons).

In SPA 8, approximately 4,409 people were homeless, of which 810 or 19 percent were sheltered and 3,599 or 81 percent were unsheltered. Countywide, approximately 44,214 people or 75 percent of Los Angeles County’s homeless people were unsheltered and living in uninhabitable living environments including living on the streets, in vehicles or in tents. Thus, the majority of homeless persons found in Hawthorne, SPA region 8, and the County remain unsheltered. The lack of affordable housing, current economic conditions and barriers to receiving supportive services throughout the Los Angeles region contribute to homelessness.

In 2019, a total of 1,265 shelter and housing units were occupied in SPA 8. Of that amount, 328 or 26 percent were emergency shelter units and 173 or 14 percent were transitional housing units. SPA 8 also registered 65 safe haven units (a form of supportive housing that serves hard-to-reach homeless persons with severe mental illness who come primarily from the streets and have been unable or unwilling to participate in housing or supportive services). Countywide, a total of 31,749 shelter and housing units were occupied. Of that amount, Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 74 7,825 or 25 percent were emergency shelters units, 8.5 percent, or 2,703 were transitional housing units, which included safe haven shelter units. Significant gains were achieved in permanent supportive housing placements.

Permanent supportive housing includes housing choice vouchers made available directly to individuals or families; sponsor-based projects in which community organizations administer housing vouchers on behalf of a Public Housing Authority directly; and Project-Based Vouchers, in which the subsidy is tied directly to a Public Housing Authority project site. In 2019, 387 units of permanent supportive housing and 308 units of rapid rehousing units [a form of permanent housing that is short-term (up to 3 months) and/or medium-term (for 3 to 24 months) tenant-based rental assistance] were available to homeless persons in SPA 8.

Discussion:

Within the past two years, Los Angeles County’s homeless services system has doubled the number of people moving from homelessness into housing and tripled prevention, outreach, and engagement services. Yet, in 2019, the County as a whole experienced a 12 percent increase in the number of homeless persons. Similarly, SPA region 8 experienced a seven percent increase, while the City of Hawthorne saw a two percent decrease (149 homeless persons counted in 2018 to 108 homeless persons counted in 2019).

The lack of affordable housing continues to be the primary factor of homelessness within the County and has led to high rent burdens, overcrowding, and substandard housing; forcing many people into homelessness and placing a growing number of people at risk of becoming homeless.

Los Angeles County remains committed to ending homelessness. Los Angeles County voter-approved Measure H supports the development of permanent affordable housing units through new construction or rehabilitation of existing buildings and provides vital, comprehensive human services in permanent supportive housing critical for housing retention.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction:

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 75 The special needs population consists of persons who are not homeless but due to various reasons are in need of services and supportive housing. Persons with special needs include the elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence. The City of Hawthorne will consider allocating CDBG public service funding to various programs that provide services to special needs populations, including but not limited to those serving the elderly, frail elderly, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, mentally disabled, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence.

Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:

Elderly and Frail Elderly: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines elderly as a person who is 62 years of age or older. A frail elderly person is an elderly person who is unable to perform at least three activities of daily living including eating, bathing, or home management activities. Based on 2011- 2015 CHAS data, of the 6,335 households containing at least one elderly person, 59 percent (3,760) households earn less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income in Hawthorne.

Persons with Disabilities: HUD defines a disabled person as having a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits major life activities. Additionally, persons with disabilities have high dependency on supportive services and may require accessibility modifications to accommodate their unique conditions. Based on ACS data, of the total Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population (86,231) in Hawthorne,6,897 persons have a disability. Of these 6,897 disabled persons, a total of 75.7% are 65 years and over..

Alcohol and Other Drug Addictions: Drug abuse or substance abuse is defined as the use of chemical substances that lead to an increased risk of problems and an inability to control the use of the substance.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 70,237 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2017 and that of those deaths, 47,600 involved opioids. According to the CDC, the national ‘opioid epidemic’ began in the 1990s with increased prescribing of opioids such as Methadone, Oxycodone, and Hydrocodone. Beginning in 2010, CDC reported rapid increases in overdose deaths involving heroin. The third wave began in 2013 with increases in overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids such as the illicitly manufactured fentanyl, often found in combination with heroin, counterfeit pills, and cocaine. Although California was among 10 states with the lowest drug overdose mortality in each year from 2014-2017, the proliferation of fentanyl is a significant and relatively new issue requiring increased public awareness and services.

HIV/AIDS: Human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV) is a virus that weakens one’s immune system by destroying important cells that fight diseases and infection. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the final stage of the HIV infection. According to the 2017 Annual HIV Surveillance Report for Los Angeles County, there were 51,438 persons living with HIV.

Victims of Domestic Violence: Domestic Violence includes, but is not limited to felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a current or former spouse of the victim or by a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabited with the victim as a spouse. In 2018, the Hawthorne Police Department responded to a total of 302 calls related to domestic violence. Of these calls, 157 of these domestic incidents did not involve a weapon.

However, 145 calls involved a weapon of which 1 involved a firearm, 8 involved a knife or cutting instrument, 25 involved other dangerous weapons and 111involved personal weapons such as feet or hands.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 76 What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? To determine the level of need and types of services needed by special needs populations, including elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol or other drug additions, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence, the City conducted surveys, consulted with local service providers and reviewed ACS data. Supportive services required for special needs populations include case management, medical or psychological counseling and supervision, childcare, transportation and job training provided for the purpose of facilitating a person’s stability and independence.

In housing, accessibility modifications to accommodate persons with mobility disabilities may include, but are not limited to, wider doorways, no step thresholds, installation of ramps, grab bars, lowered countertops and accessible hardware. The needs of residents with sensory disabilities are different from those with mobility disabilities. Individuals with hearing disabilities require visual adaptations for such items as the telephone ringer, the doorbell and smoke alarms. Residents who are blind may require tactile marking of changes in floor level and stair edges and braille markings on appliances and controls. People with low vision may require large print markings and displays, contrasting colors to distinguish changes in level or transition from one area to another, proper lighting, and reduced glare from lighting and windows.

For persons with special needs, the high cost of living in Los Angeles County makes it very difficult for to maintain a stable residence. Often these segments of the population rely on support services from various Los Angeles’s non-profit organizations to avoid becoming homeless or institutionalized.

Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:

There were 51,438 persons living with HIV and 27,314 persons living with AIDS in Los Angeles County at the end of 2017. The number of persons living with HIV/AIDS in the County has decreased steadily since 2010. Males currently represent about seven out of eight (88%) persons living with HIV/AIDS in Los Angeles County. The majority of the persons (65 percent) living with HIV/AIDS are between the ages of 20 and 39 years old. About 48% of persons living with HIV/AIDS in the County are Latino, 18% White, 25% African American, and 5% Asian/Pacific Islander. In Service Planning Area (SPA) 8, which includes Hawthorne, 3,769 persons were living with HIV. Of that amount, approximately 86 percent were male, and 14 percent were female. Seventy persons reported an AIDS diagnosis in SPA 7. A larger percentage AIDS cases were reported for males (87 percent) compared to females (13 percent).

Severe HIV Disease is also known as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, or AIDS. The annual number of AIDS diagnoses in the County has steadily decreased since 2010 from greater than 1,000 cases to approximately 720 cases (as of (2017). According to the 2017 Los Angeles County Public Health Annual HIV Surveillance Report, the annual number of AIDS cases decreased for all races/ethnicities in the last 10 years.

Half (50 percent) of AIDS diagnoses occurred among Latinos, followed by African Americans at 22 percent, and 19 percent among whites.

Discussion:

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 77 Hawthorne residents with special needs include, but are not limited to the elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol and other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence. Challenges these special needs populations face include low income and high housing cost. This segment of the population also struggles for a decent quality of life that includes basic necessities, adequate food and clothing and medical care.

The City of Hawthorne has historically not provided CDBG public service funds for activities including those support services for the special needs population but has budgeted other sources of funds for these support services.

NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs – 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities:

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 78 The City’s public facility priorities are to construct, expand or rehabilitate public facilities for the primary benefit of low-income persons. CDBG public facility projects that meet CDBG eligibility requirements align with the goals of the Strategic Plan and address a CDBG National Objective will be considered for funding in the Annual Action Plans.

Within the Strategic Plan, a goal has been established to improve public facilities used by low- and moderateincome residents and residents with special needs. Such projects may include the construction of new facilities, rehabilitation of existing facilities or expansion of existing facilities to better meet the needs of Hawthorne residents. Such facilities include, but are not limited to youth centers, community centers, senior centers, parks and recreation facilities and childcare centers.

The City of Hawthorne has the Hawthorne Senior Center which serves as a resource to help direct seniors to valuable outside resources and programs and also offers high-quality programming to enrich the lives of seniors. Additionally, the City has five community centers located throughout the City that provide services such as computer labs and education programs for youth and adults alike. These include the following facilitates:
• Betty Ainsworth Sport Center
• Memorial Center
• Senior Center
Parks and recreational facilities serve an important role in a community. They provide opportunities for resident interaction and improve the overall aesthetic of a neighborhood. Funds can be used to acquire land, build or improve playgrounds or buildings used primarily for recreation, and develop open spaces that will serve low to moderate-income areas. The City of Hawthorne has 9 parks totaling almost 52 acres, the including a skate park at Eucalyptus Park. Parks in the City include:
• Eucalyptus Park/Skate park, S. Inglewood Ave. – 6.2 Acres • Glasgow Place, Glasgow Place - 4.7 Acres
• Holly Park, W. 120th Street – 10.3 Acres
• Holly Glen Park, W. 137th St. – 1.0 Acres
• Jim Thorpe Park, S. Prairie Ave. - 8.9 Acres
• Memorial Park, El Segundo Blvd. – 13.5 Acres
• Ramona Park, W. 136th St. – 5.7 Acres
• Zela Davis Park, W. 133rd St. - .7 Acres
• Bicentennial Park, S. Doty Ave. - .85 Acres The City considers parks and recreational facilities a high priority for residents, particularly residents of low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.

How were these needs determined?
Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 79 The needs identified for public facilities in the City were determined in consultation with the City of Hawthorne's Housing Department as well as through citizen participation meetings, responses from the 2020- 2024 Consolidated Plan Survey.

Figure 21 - Need for Additional or Improved Community Facilities Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements:

The sidewalks, curbs, gutters, driveway approaches, alleys, pedestrian crossings and street lights located within the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas are among the oldest infrastructure in the City and are in need of improvement to preserve neighborhood aesthetics, increase pedestrian and motorist safety, promote more efficient traffic circulation and deter crime while promoting a safe and suitable living environment. Activities of this nature undertaken within the low- and moderate-income primarily residential Census Tract Block Groups of the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas would be considered consistent with this Consolidated Plan.

How were these needs determined?
The needs identified for public infrastructure improvements in the City were determined in consultation with the Hawthorne Public Works Department and Community Development Department, as well as through citizen participation meetings, responses from the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Survey.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 80 Figure 22 - Need for Additional or Improved Infrastructure Improvements Figure 23 - Need for Additional or Improved Neighborhood Services Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services:

Public service activities are consistently ranked as a high priority by residents and other stakeholders. Pursuant to CDBG regulations, only 15 percent of the City’s annual grant allocation (plus 15 percent of prior year program income) can be used for public service-type activities. The City proposes to focus funds on lowerincome households in order to establish, improve, and expand existing public services, such as: senior and youth activities, domestic violence services, and services for the disabled.

Hawthorne residents rated anti-crime programs as a high priority in the Consolidated Plan Survey. Crime against persons or property is a concern for residents. The Hawthorne Police Department operates a number of crime prevention programs that are adapted to particular community needs, one of which provides youth Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 81 (Hawthorne Force) an opportunity for youth ice hockey. The program aids youth of low- and moderateincome households by not turning any child away due to being unable to pay. Since these programs are budgeted from other sources of funds, the City does not anticipate using CDBG public service funds for anticrime programs.

How were these needs determined?
Public service needs are based on the City’s desire to ensure that high quality services are provided to residents to maintain a high quality of life and to promote the well-being of all Hawthorne residents—particularly lowand moderate-income residents. As a result of the citizen participation and consultation process and in consideration of the local nonprofits and City Departments offering services, the City considers public services benefitting low- and moderate-income residents a high priority in the Strategic Plan.

Figure 24 - Need for Additional or Improved Community Services by Type or Target Population Figure 25 - Need for Additional or Improved Services for Special Needs Populations Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 82 Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:

The City analyzed existing housing market conditions in Hawthorne in terms of housing supply, demand, condition and cost. Hawthorne’s housing stock primarily consists of single-family detached residential dwellings and multi-family units of 20 or more. More than half of the housing stock consisting one to two-bedroom rental units available in many different neighborhoods throughout the community.

In the period between 2009 and 2015, the median home price in Hawthorne decreased by 21 percent from $515,000 to $404,500 and the median contract rent increased by 11 percent from $894 to $988 as median income increased by only 1 percent. Hawthorne rental households have become increasingly cost-burdened.

The data shows that there is an insufficient number of housing units affordable to people with incomes less than 50 percent of AMI and for those between 80 and 100 percent of AMI. The aforementioned time period represents the period for the data set provided by HUD.

More current data obtained through Zumper, a rental listing aggregator, shows the average rents for 1- bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom all rose from January 2015 to February 2020 and significantly exceeded the median contract rent as reported by the ACS 2011-2015 estimates documented in the Cost of Housing table below.

Similarly, owner-occupied housing costs have also increased over the past five years. According to Zillow, from January 2015 to December 2019, the median sales price rose from $404,500 to $750,000 far outpacing the ACS estimates for median home value.

Of the 19,050 households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City, 13,578 are cost burdened households— meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Additionally, 7,199 of the cost burdened households are considered severely cost burdened households—meaning that they pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Of the 7,199 severely cost burdened households, 5,850 are renters.

Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 5,690 households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless.

According to Table 36 in Section MA-15, there are 17,225 housing units in the City of Hawthorne affordable to households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. According to Table 7, there are 19,050 households in Hawthorne who earn less than 80 percent of AMI, resulting in an estimated need for approximately 1,825 additional housing units that are affordable to households earning less than 80 percent of AMI.

In the last decade, the City has pursued opportunities to add to its inventory of affordable rental housing units and continues to pursue affordable housing development; however, the elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This was the most significant public policy change impacting affordable housing and residential investment.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 83 Considering scarce monetary resources available to create new affordable housing units and the continuing recovery of the Southern California housing market after the recession, housing affordability problems will become an increasingly difficult challenge to the community during the period of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 84 MA-10 Number of Housing Units – 91.210(a)&(b)(2)
Introduction
According to 2011-2015 ACS data, 48 percent of the City’s housing stock is comprised of single- family housing (1-4 units). Multifamily housing (5+ units) accounts for 51 percent of total housing units in the City and a majority of these dwelling units are in larger multifamily structures containing more than 20 units. Mobile homes comprise the smallest portion of the housing stock in the City (1 percent).

Most of the City’s ownership housing (78 percent) is comprised of larger units containing three or more bedrooms. In comparison, only 12 percent of the City’s rental housing is comprised of larger units. The tables below indicate the number of residential properties in the City by property type, unit size and tenure.

Sources: City of Hawthorne 2013-2021 Housing Element and HUD Multifamily Assistance & Section 8 Database, Accessed November 9, 2019.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs.

Use restrictions, as defined by State law, means any federal, state or local statute, regulation, ordinance or contract which as a condition of receipt of any housing assistance, including a rental subsidy, mortgage subsidy, or mortgage insurance, to an assisted housing development, establishes maximum limitations on tenant income as a condition of eligibility for occupancy.

As of March, 2015, the City has a total of 359 affordable housing units that are not at risk of conversion to market rate housing. The 15 projects consist of a total of 440 units in which 359 units are restricted to lowand moderate-income households. Table 31 provides a description of the assisted housing developments in Hawthorne. All multi-family rental units assisted under federal, state, and/or local programs, including HUD programs, state and local bond programs, redevelopment programs, density bonus, or direct assistance programs, are included in Table 31. In addition to the units shown in Table 31, there are two projects with a total of 149 units (149 assisted) that are on annual or 5 year renewals and are considered at risk of potential conversion.

Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 86 HUD requires that the City undertake an analysis of federal, state and locally assisted housing units that may be lost from the City’s affordable housing stock. The expiration of affordability restrictions on government assisted rental units is the typical reason of this potential loss. Much of the housing at-risk of conversion from affordable housing to market rate housing is predominantly reserved for lower income households. There are no assisted units at risk of conversion in the City of Hawthorne. • TELACU Senior Housing: 75 total units, 75 assisted (HUD Section 202; HUD Section 8; Redevelopment) Five year renewal period ; and
• TELACU Terrace: 74 total units, 74 assisted (HUD Section 202; HUD Section 8; Redevelopment) Annual renewal period.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? According to the 2011-2015 American Community Survey Estimates, there are 30,780 residential properties in Hawthorne. Table 29 indicates that there are 30,575 housing units (not including Mobile Home, boat, or RV units) available in the community. As shown in the following Housing Market Analysis section, extremely lowincome and low-income households generally cannot afford to own or rent market rate housing and require assistance to obtain decent and affordable housing. A large percentage of households are at or below the area median income and experiencing a disproportionate housing need.

The City has a significant need for affordable housing. Currently, waiting lists for publicly assisted housing range from two to four years and Housing Choice Vouchers have a wait period of at least eight years. In addition to challenges associated with housing affordability, housing conditions are also of concern. With more than 70.86 percent of the housing units older than forty years of age, a large portion of the City's housing stock may need substantial rehabilitation, including roofing, plumbing, electrical, mechanical and structural repairs. The extent of housing needs in the City far exceeds the resources available to address those needs.

Describe the need for specific types of housing:

According to Table 32 in Section MA-15, there are 17,945 housing units in the City of Hawthorne affordable to households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. According to Table 7, there are 19,050 households in Hawthorne who earn less than 80 percent of AMI, resulting in an estimated need for approximately 1,105 additional housing units that are affordable to households earning less than 80 percent of AMI.

Discussion
The number and size of housing units in the City of Hawthorne is insufficient for the number and type of households residing in the City according to the 2011-2015 ACS; Moreover, housing affordability continues to be a challenge for renters earning less than 80 percent of AMI. During the period of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2025, the City will prioritize the development of additional affordable rental housing units and the preservation of both rental and ownership units that are currently affordable to low- and moderate-income households.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 87 MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction
One of the most important factors in evaluating a community’s housing market is the cost of housing and, even more significant, whether the housing is affordable to households who live there or would like to live there.

Housing problems directly relate to the cost of housing in a community. If housing costs are relatively high in comparison to household income, a correspondingly high prevalence of housing cost burden and overcrowding occurs.

Tables 32 and 33 indicate the median home value and contract rent (not including utility or other associated costs). These values are self-reported by residents through the U.S. Census American Community Survey.

However, in looking at more current housing sales and rental market data – the cost of housing has risen tremendously over the past five years.

According to Zumper, a rental listing aggregator, average rents for 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom all rose from January 2015 to February 2020 and significantly exceeded the median contract rent as reported by the ACS 2011-2015 estimates documented in the Cost of Housing table below.

Similarly, owner-occupied housing costs have also increased over the past five years. According to Zillow, from January 2015 to January 2020, the median sales price rose from $459,000 to $742,000 (an increase of 62%), far outpacing the ACS estimates for median home value.

Based on the reported housing costs, Table 34 indicates the number of units that are currently affordable to households at different levels of the HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI). It is important to note, that just because a unit is affordable to residents at that income level, it does not necessarily mean that a household at that income level is occupying the unit.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? According to the 2011-2015 ACS data in Table 7, there are 19,050 extremely-ow and low-income households in Hawthorne who earn less than 80 percent of AMI. According to CHAS data in Table 34, there are 17,945 housing units in the City that are affordable to extremely-low- and low-income households. Subtracting the 17,945 units that are affordable to extremely-low and low-income households from the 19,050 extremelylow- and low-income households in the City indicates a need for approximately 1,105 additional housing units that are affordable to households earning less than 80 percent of AMI.

Approximately 6,275 households earning less than 30 percent of AMI reside in the City; however, there are only approximately 385 dwelling units affordable to those at this income level. Similarly, the City has 5,785 households earning between 31 and 50 percent of AMI and only 2,105 housing units affordable to those at this income level. The shortage of affordable units is most prevalent for households with the lowest incomes, unlike households earning between 50 and 80 percent AMI where there is ample housing available. The City is home to 6,990 households earning between 50 and 80 percent AMI with 15,455 housing units being affordable to those at this income level.

Although a housing unit may be considered affordable to a particular income group, this does not necessarily mean that the unit is actually occupied by a household in that income group. Therefore, the affordability mismatches are likely to be more severe than presented by the CHAS data.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 90 How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? The data presented in Tables 34 and 35 was sourced from 2011-2015 during a period of recovery in the housing market that is making housing less affordable in the City. As the housing market has recovered during the last five years, home values and rents increased, which will further exacerbate housing problems such as cost burden, severe cost burden and overcrowding—particularly for low- and moderate-income renter households who generally do not benefit from the historically affordable single-family home values.

How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?
According to ACS data, High HOME rents that are intended to be affordable to households earning 51-80 percent of AMI are generally lower than Fair Market Rents, except for efficiency units where the two values are identical. The median contract rent in Hawthorne of $988 is in line with the Fair Market Rent for an efficiency unit, indicating that rents in Hawthorne are generally more affordable than the market rents charged throughout Los Angeles County, where rents charged are generally higher as exhibited by the Fair Market Rents. Based on this information and the supply of housing that is affordable to households earning more than 30 percent of AMI, the City could either subsidize rents for extremely-low income households or subsidize development of units targeted at the extremely-low income level.

Discussion
In the decade between 2000 and 2011, the median home price in Hawthorne increased by 150 percent from $184,800 to $461,800 and the median contract rent increased by 60 percent from $594 to $951 as median income increased by only 43% percent. Data from 2015 shows that while the median contract rent continues to rise ($988 as of 2015) the median price of single-family ownership housing is $404,900, 20 percent lower than the peak value of $515,000 in 2009. However, Zumper and Zillow indicate that in the past five years, rent has increased approximately 50 percent and the average cost to purchase a home has increase nearly $200,000.

As a result, Hawthorne's renter households have become increasingly cost-burdened while homeownership has become less affordable.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 91 MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
Assessing housing conditions in the City provides the basis for developing strategies to maintain and preserve the quality of the housing stock. The ACS defines a “selected condition” as owner- or renter-occupied housing units having at least one of the following conditions: 1) lacking complete plumbing facilities; 2) lacking complete kitchen facilities; 3) more than one occupant per room; and 4) selected monthly housing costs greater than 30 percent of household income. Based on the definition of selected conditions, Table 38 shows that 41 percent of owner-occupied households in the City have at least one selected condition and 51 percent of all renteroccupied households in the City have at least one selected condition.

Definitions
A substandard condition is one that affects the health and safety of a resident’s habitability. As defined by California Health and Safety Code, a substandard condition exists to the extent that it endangers the health and safety of its occupants or the public. Following is a list of substandard conditions:
• Inadequate sanitation.
• Structural hazards.
• Any nuisance which endangers the health and safety of the occupants or the public. • All substandard plumbing, wiring, and/or mechanical equipment, unless it conformed to all applicable laws in effect at the time of installation and has been maintained in a good and safe condition. • Faulty weather protection.
• The use of construction materials not allowed or approved by the health and safety code. • Fire, health and safety hazards (as determined by the appropriate fire or health official). • Lack of, or inadequate fire-resistive construction or fire-extinguishing systems as required by the health and safety code, unless the construction and/or systems conformed to all applicable laws in effect at the time of construction and/or installation and adequately maintained. • Inadequate structural resistance to horizontal forces. • Buildings or portions thereof occupied for living, sleeping, cooking, or dining purposes which were not designed or intended to be used for such occupancies.
• Inadequate maintenance which causes a building or any portion thereof to be declared unsafe. ‘Standard’ housing condition in the City of Hawthorne is defined as being in conformance with the California State Health and Safety Codes. For the purposes of the Consolidated Plan grant programs, a unit in substandard condition is considered suitable for rehabilitation provided that the estimated cost of rehabilitation does not exceed the estimated cost of reconstructing the unit.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
As the City's housing stock ages, a growing percentage of housing units may need rehabilitation to allow them to remain safe and habitable. The situation is of particular concern for low- and moderate-income homeowners who are generally not in a financial position to properly maintain their homes.

The age and condition of Hawthorne’s housing stock is an important indicator of potential rehabilitation needs.

Commonly, housing over 30 years of age needs some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, electrical work and plumbing systems. Housing over 15 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating / air-conditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing fixtures.

According to CHAS data showing the year that housing units were built categorized by owner and renter tenure:
• 5,900 or 76 percent of the 7,735 owner-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built 40 or more years ago (built prior to 1980)
• 1,120 or 14 percent of the 7,735 owner-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built between 30 and 40 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999)
• 14,755 or 69 percent of the 21,415 renter-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built 40 or more years ago (built prior to 1980)
• 6,195 or 29 percent of the 21,415 renter-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built between 30 and 40 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999)
Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 94 According to CHAS data, 46 percent of Hawthorne’s owner-occupied households experience some form of housing problem. HUD defines housing problems as housing overcrowding, housing cost burden, or units that are lacking adequate kitchen or plumbing facilities. In numbers, there are 7,745 owner-occupied households, of which 4,500 have a housing problem. Sixty-four percent of Hawthorne’s renter-occupied households experience some form of housing problem. In numbers, there are 21,415 renter-occupied households, of which 13,805 have a housing problem.

Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and moderateincome households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate-income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities provide that all economic segments of the community have the means to ensure that their property meets local standards and that all Hawthorne residents have the opportunity to live in decent housing.

Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards Residents of any housing built before 1978 are considered to be at risk of containing some amount of leadbased paint. Older housing is more likely to have lead-based paint and the amount of lead pigment in the paint tends to increase with the age of the housing. The vast majority of Hawthorne’s housing stock (70.86 percent) was built prior to 1979, putting at risk the residents of these homes from lead-based paint hazards. Lead can cause severe damage in young children. It attacks the central nervous system, the neurological system, and can cause brain damage, IQ reduction, learning disabilities, decreased attention span, hyperactivity, growth inhibition, comas, seizures, and in some cases, death.

The most common source of child lead poisoning is exposure to lead-based paint (and lead-contaminated dust) in the child's home. Housing built before 1978 may contain some lead-based paint since the use of lead-based paint became illegal that year. Since the amount of lead pigment in the paint tends to increase with a home's age, older housing is more likely to have lead-based paint hazards.

There are 20,655 housing units built before 1980 that may contain lead-based paint, of which 5,900 are owneroccupied units and 14,755 are renter-occupied units. There are 2,456 units built before 1980 with children present, including 2,133 owner-occupied units and 323 renter-occupied units. According to data presented in Table 7, 65 percent of Hawthorne’s households are low- and moderate income households. By extension, it could be estimated that 1,024 housing units with lead-based paint hazards may be estimated to be occupied by low- and moderate-income families. However, the majority of low- and moderate-income households live in the eligible CDBG Census Tract/Block Groups where the housing stock is generally older than that of the balance of the City.

Number of Children with Elevated Blood Levels of Lead and Cases The State of California mandates lead screening for all children who participate in publicly funded health programs. In California, screening typically occurs at ages one and two years. A blood level of 10 µg/dL or higher was previously referred to as an “elevated blood level (EBL).” However, as it is now recognized that there is no safe level of lead, and adverse effects occur at levels below 10 µg/dL, an “elevated” blood lead level Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 95 is no longer defined at a particular cut point. Therefore, categories indicating increased levels of exposure are presented here.

In accordance with State of California regulations, a “case” is defined as a child having a blood lead level equal to or greater than 20 µg/dL, or persistent levels between 15-19 µg/dL. Once a case is reported, the Los Angeles County Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program is involved in the case management, as described below under the heading “Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPP).” Table 41 provides data for 2009-2013, the most recent five years for which data was available through the CLPPP. Consultation with the CLPPP in 2019 revealed that data collection and aggregation responsibilities have changed and that the medical professionals are responsible for collecting the data; however, there is not an entity designated to receive and aggregate reports on this data at the Countywide level.

Discussion
As noted in the needs assessment, a large share of owner and renter households experience at least one substandard housing condition. Based on the results of the Needs Assessment, the most prevalent condition is cost-burden – indicating that the housing stock is not generally suitable for habitation. However, based on the age of the housing stock, a significant need exists for the preservation of older housing units occupied by lowand moderate-income households. The City will continue to address this need through the implementation of programs designed to preserve the stock of affordable housing.

Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderateincome families residing in public housing:

CHA and LACDA's primary goal is to fulfill the immediate needs of public housing residents: living in safe, decent and sanitary housing; and achieving self-sufficiency. The PHAs meets these needs by providing the following services to residents year round:

Educational Partnerships: This program supports the residents in a variety of ways including English as a Second Language instruction, homework assistance, arts and crafts activities, and more. Students are able to receive real-life experiences in a variety of fields including after-school education, social services, criminal justice, the arts, human resources, information technology, and various fields of research.

Family Learning Centers: Address the need for education, literacy, and after-school programming in public housing. The centers, located at several large public housing developments provide after-school programs, adult education, training, technology, and other classes.

Resident Opportunities and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS): Program grants from HUD have allowed LACDA to offer several programs including family self-sufficiency grants.

Capital Fund Program (CFP): Provides for rehabilitation, repair, and physical and management improvements of County-owned public housing developments throughout the year. The CFP program requires that a physical and management needs assessment be done every six years, allowing work items to be identified and prioritized.

A Five-Year Plan is then developed to identify which projects will be funded in each year.

Community Policing Program (CPP): Provides onsite Community Policing Teams throughout the County of Los Angeles. The CPP ensures that LACDA's housing developments are safe for our residents. A fulltime Los Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 98 Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Sergeant, four Deputies, and a part-time Operations Assistant implement the community policing program at all LACDA sites, along with two fulltime Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) officers. The result has been a 72 percent reduction in crime at the sites and an increase in the quality of life for public housing residents, since program inception.

The Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA): Provides prevention and intervention services for at-risk youth and their families at the four large housing sites: Carmelitos, Nueva Maravilla, Harbor Hills, and South Scattered Sites including summer programs and back-to-school events such as camping, other outdoor adventures, and a summer reading program.

Family Resource Center (FRC) provides clinical/case management services to public housing residents. Frequent problems at the sites include domestic violence, child abuse, mental illness, aging-related issues, and general crisis intervention. Special support is provided for the homeless and emancipated youth housed at the sites and the clinician is on-call to conduct emergency mental health assessments.

Discussion:

According to HUD, City of Hawthorne Housing Authority is designated as Medium High, meaning it administers 500 - 1,249 Section 8 vouchers. LACDA administers Section 8 to provide rental assistance to low-income families, senior citizens, and disabled individuals. The Hawthorne Housing Authority is currently administering 1,124 Section 8 voucher units (includes County and City of Los Angeles portable vouchers) that are located within Hawthorne. The HHA also manages approximately 138 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers that ported into City of Hawthorne.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 99 MA-30 Homeless Facilities and Services – 91.210(c)
Introduction
The 2019 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count identified 58,936 homeless people in Los Angeles County.

Although, this was a 12% increase from the prior year count of 52,765 homeless persons, since 2017, Los Angeles County’s system of homeless services resulted in twice the number of people moving from homelessness into housing and tripled homeless prevention, outreach, and engagement services.

During 2018-2019, the Los Angeles County’s Continuum of Care (CoC), known as Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), assisted 21,631 people move into permanent housing. Ninety-two percent of those permanently placed stayed housed through the end of 2018 and did not return to homelessness.

Compared to 2015, services provided by LAHSA resulted in twice as many people placed into permanent homes, prevented three times as many people from falling into homelessness (5,643), and provided outreach to three times as many people (34,110). In the past year, 75,796 people were helped through programs and services of Los Angeles County’s homeless services system. Conversely, 23% (approximately 9,200 persons) of unsheltered persons experienced homelessness for the first time. Most reported (53%) economic hardship as the cause.

These programs provide clients with employment assistance, discounted food, medical care, child care, and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, health care and transportation. A short description of each is provided below.

CalWORKs
The California Work Opportunities for Kids (CalWORKs) program is a public assistance program that provides cash aid and services to eligible families that have a child or children in the home. Through this program, eligible families receive immediate short-term help with housing, food, utilities, clothing or medical care. Child care is also available through this program.

CalFresh Program
CalFresh, known federally as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP, provides monthly food benefits to low-income individuals and families. CalFresh benefits encourage families to purchase more nutritious food, including fruit, vegetables and other healthy foods. The amount of benefits a household receives is dependent on a household size’s countable income, and monthly expenses, such as housing and utilities. The program issues monthly benefits on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. Food may be purchased at any grocery store or farmers market that accepts EBT cards.

Medi-Cal
The California Medical Assistance Program (Medi-Cal or MediCal) serves low-income individuals, including families, seniors, persons with disabilities, children in foster care, pregnant women, and childless adults with incomes below 138% of federal poverty level. Benefits include ambulatory patient services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance use disorder treatment, dental (Denti-Cal), vision, and long term care.

CDBG, HOME, and ESG Activities
Congress designed the CDBG, HOME and ESG programs to serve low-income people, some of which may meet the federal poverty definition, and at least 51 percent of whom are low- and moderate-income individuals and families. At least 70% of all CDBG funds must be used for activities that are considered under program rules to benefit low- to moderate-income persons. Additionally, every CDBG activity must meet one of three national objectives: 1) benefits low- and moderate-income persons (at least 51 percent of the beneficiaries must be low- to moderate-income; 2) addresses slums or blight, or 3) meets a particularly urgent community development need.

Under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), households must earn no more than 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), adjusted for household size, to be eligible for assistance. Furthermore, 90 Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 101 percent of a HOME Participating Jurisdiction’s (PJ’s) annual HOME allocation that is invested in affordable rental housing must go to assist households earning no more than 60 percent of AMI.

The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program provides homeless persons with basic shelter and essential supportive services. It can assist with the operational costs of the shelter facility, and for the administration of the grant. ESG also provides short-term homeless prevention assistance to persons at imminent risk of losing their own housing due to eviction, foreclosure, or utility shutoffs. The County’s ESG program is administered through its Continuum of Care provider Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), LAHSA provides leadership, advocacy, planning and management of program funding for a vast network of local, non-profit agencies with missions to help people leave homelessness permanently. This network of agencies are dedicated to providing as much assistance as possible, including a variety of support services that assist with health, mental health, and employment training and opportunities.

List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth.

If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations.

For many Los Angeles County residents, the first entry into the CoC is through the County’s Coordinated Entry System (CES). The CES facilitates the coordination and management of resources and services through a crisis response system. CES efficiently and effectively connects people to interventions that aim to rapidly resolve housing crises. In SPA 3, Volunteers of America and Union Station Homeless Services are two examples of points of entry for individuals and families seeking emergency housing and supportive services directed to getting people off the streets and into a safe environment.

Other components of the CoC is transitional housing, designed as short-term housing for up to two years, where persons move into a more stabilized housing arrangement than an emergency shelter. The final component of the CoC is permanent housing, both with and without supportive services. The ultimate goal of the CoC system is to move people toward housing alternatives where they are able to reside permanently in safe and sanitary housing.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 102 MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d) Introduction
Special needs populations consist of persons who are not homeless but due to various reasons are in need of services and supportive housing. Persons with special needs include, but are not limited to, the elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence. The City of Hawthorne will consider allocating CDBG public service funding to various programs that provide services to special needs populations, including but not limited to those serving the elderly, frail elderly, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, mentally disabled, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence.

HUD defines elderly as a person who is 62 years of age or older. A frail elderly person is an elderly person who is unable to perform at least three activities of daily living including eating, bathing, or home management activities. Based on 2011-2015 CHAS data, of the 6,335 households containing at least one elderly person, 59 percent (3,760) households earn less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income in Hawthorne.

HUD defines a disabled person as having a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits major life activities. Additionally, persons with disabilities have high dependency on supportive services and may require accessibility modifications to accommodate their unique conditions. Based on ACS data, of the total Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population (86,231) in Hawthorne, 6,897 persons have a disability. Of these 6,897 disabled persons, a total of 75.7% are 65 years and over.

Drug abuse or substance abuse is defined as the use of chemical substances that lead to an increased risk of problems and an inability to control the use of the substance. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 70,237 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2017 and that of those deaths, 47,600 involved opioids. According to the CDC, the national ‘opioid epidemic’ began in the 1990s with increased prescribing of opioids such as Methadone, Oxycodone, and Hydrocodone. Beginning in 2010, CDC reported rapid increases in overdose deaths involving heroin. The third wave began in 2013 with increases in overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids such as the illicitly manufactured fentanyl, often found in combination with heroin, counterfeit pills, and cocaine. Although California was among 10 states with the lowest drug overdose mortality in each year from 2014-2017, the proliferation of fentanyl is a significant and relatively new issue requiring increased public awareness and services.

Human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV) is a virus that weakens one’s immune system by destroying important cells that fight diseases and infection. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the final stage of the HIV infection. According to the 2017 Annual HIV Surveillance Report for Los Angeles County, there were 51,438 persons living with HIV.

Domestic Violence includes, but is not limited to felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a current or former spouse of the victim or by a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabited with the victim as a spouse. In 2018, the Hawthorne Police Department responded to a total of 302 calls related to domestic violence. Of these calls, 157 of these domestic incidents did not involve a weapon. However, 145 calls involved a weapon of which 1 involved a firearm, 8 involved a knife or cutting instrument, 25 involved other dangerous weapons and 111 involved personal weapons such as feet or hands.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 103 Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs To determine the level of need and types of services needed by special needs populations, including elderly, frail elderly, severe mentally ill, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and victims of domestic violence, the City conducted surveys, consulted with local service providers and reviewed ACS data. Supportive services required for special needs populations include case management, medical or psychological counseling and supervision, childcare, transportation and job training provided for the purpose of facilitating a person’s stability and independence. In housing, accessibility modifications to accommodate persons with mobility disabilities elderly persons and frail elderly persons may include, but are not limited to, wider doorways, no step thresholds, installation of ramps, grab bars, lowered countertops and accessible hardware. The needs of residents with sensory disabilities are different from those with mobility disabilities. Individuals with hearing disabilities require visual adaptations for such items as the telephone ringer, the doorbell and smoke alarms. Residents who are blind may require tactile marking of changes in floor level and stair edges and braille markings on appliances and controls. People with low vision may require large print markings and displays, contrasting colors to distinguish changes in level or transition from one area to another, proper lighting, and reduced glare from lighting and windows.

For persons with special needs, the high cost of living in Los Angeles County makes it very difficult for to maintain a stable residence. Often these segments of the population rely on support services from various non-profit organizations to avoid becoming homeless or institutionalized.

Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
Persons with special needs, such as the elderly and those with disabilities, must also have access to housing in the community. Community care facilities provide a supportive housing environment to persons with special needs in a group setting. According to the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division, the majority of community care beds in Hawthorne (171) are for elderly persons ages 60 or above.

There are also (522) community care beds for adults between ages 18-59 and (15) for youth below the age of 18 at small family homes and group homes.

Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e) The question is specific to State grantees. For response by entitlement grantee, see below.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 104 For entitlement/consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. (91.220(2)) During the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan period, the Strategic Plan does not call for the City to use CDBG funds to provide special needs services. Instead, the City will use other funding sources to assist persons with special needs including, but not limited, to those concerned with disabilities, domestic violence, and substance abuse and HIV/AIDS.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 105 MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.

Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the 2013-2021 Housing Element and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in Hawthorne are housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply and insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.

For low- and moderate-income households, finding and maintaining decent affordable housing is difficult due to the high cost of housing in Hawthorne and throughout Southern California in general. Based on evaluation of 2007-2011 ACS and CHAS data, there is a high need for housing units affordable for households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. Of the 19,050 households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City, 13,578 are cost burdened households—meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing.

Additionally, 7,199 of the cost burdened households are considered severely cost burdened households— meaning that they pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Of the 7,199 severely cost burdened households, 5,850 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 5,690 households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless. Consistent with available data, responses to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey indicate a high need for additional affordable housing in Hawthorne.

In the last five years, the elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This was the most significant public policy change impacting affordable housing and residential investment. While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 106 MA-45 Non-Housing Community Development Assets – 91.215 (f) Introduction
The City places a high priority on non-housing community development needs including those associated with neighborhood services such as graffiti removal and public facilities improvements such as park and community center rehabilitation or ADA improvements and infrastructure improvements including sidewalks, curbs, gutters, driveway approaches, alleys and pedestrian crossings. During the implementation of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City will use CDBG funds to address some of these needs and provide a suitable living environment for low- and moderate-income people living in the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas.

To expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income people and provide a pathway out of poverty, the Strategic Plan and the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan include public service programs that support family self-sufficiency, such as the youth after school program. This approach fulfills several needs in the community including ensuring that all students have the opportunity to succeed without regard to family economic status.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 109 Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction? According to 2011 Longitudinal Employer Household Dynamics (LEHD) data, the major employment sectors in the City of Hawthorne include Manufacturing (3,864 jobs), Retail Trade (3,479 jobs), Education and Health Care Services (2,303 jobs), Transportation and Warehousing (2,064 jobs) and Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations (1,668 jobs).

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:

The business community in Hawthorne relies on a highly educated workforce, starting with the Hawthorne Unified School District and continuing with 7 colleges and universities located within a 10 mile radius and over 30 additional colleges and universities in the surrounding region. A diverse group of leading employers in arts and entertainment, retail trade, healthcare, professional services, education and research in Hawthorne benefit from the ever growing opportunities and expansion that the City offers. However, it should be noted that based on the number of jobs available far exceeds the number of workers in the City. As a result, residents must go outside of the City for employment opportunities.

Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.

The City is currently working with the owner/developer of the Hawthorne Plaza to transform the plaza into a destination outlet mall. The Plaza is located on Hawthorne Boulevard and was once home to a thriving regional retail shopping center. The Plaza has been closed since 1999. Plans are being developed for a retail center that will house everything from a high-end to the standard outlet stores.

In response, the City will invest approximately $14 million dollars into street improvements to boost curb appeal and invite business that will also provide much needed jobs. These improvements will have a positive impact on job and business growth opportunities toward the end of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan period.

The workforce throughout the region is undergoing changes and as such, there is a need to accommodate the needs of the new workforce. Specific programs need to be rolled out to address the millennial and independent worker. In addition, younger workers are used to social networks and digital communications. Younger workers are project oriented. Younger workers are not used to hierarchical organizations and prefer to work in teams.

New workforce training programs need to address the independent workforce – this type of worker prefers to work flexible hours, work from home or in co-working spaces, and prefers to negotiate a rate based on skills and experience in lieu of market dynamics.

In addition, the senior’s workforce (ages 60+) is a willing and untapped resource for employers. This workforce is active, reliable, and willing to work in sometimes less than desirable jobs. They are experienced and are often times looking for a way to engage with a community.

Economic Developers need to be aware of all levels of the changing workforce in addition to promoting vocational programs, internships, and foreign work visa programs.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 110 How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
The majority of employees in the civilian labor force have a post-secondary education, which is beneficial considering some of the faster growing occupational sectors offer jobs that require higher education and training. Generally, the skills and education of the current workforce in Hawthorne correspond to the employment opportunities in the City. Although there are a variety of job opportunities available in the City, 54 percent of the workforce commutes more than 30 minutes to work each day according to Table 49.

Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.

The El Camino College Business Training Center (BTC) office located at 13430 Hawthorne Boulevard contributes to economic vitality by providing training, education, and community based programs that lead to success, employment and positive growth. The office provides services that includes the Workforce Training Program. BTC is a resource and conduit for businesses who are in need of customized training, assistance with SBA loan information, workforce development and skills upgrade. BTC also assist individuals that would like to start or build a business, or those seeking to improve their career opportunities. The BTC programs are available to assist low- and moderate-income people with regard to business assistance skills and vocational training along with various other forms of assistance.

In addition, El Camino Community College Student Services Center provides students the opportunity to apply for CalWORKs. CalWORKs is the community portion of the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids Act: the welfare reform program established by Assembly Bill (AB) 1542. CalWORKs funds assist single or two-parent families who are receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and those in transition off welfare, to achieve long-term self-sufficiency through coordinated student services. The on campus program offering these services is the CalWORKs Program.

CalWORKs provides support to eligible students to obtain their educational degrees and certificates while gaining work experience leading to sustainable employment. The CalWORKs program works to provide quality career training and degree programs. A wide array of services are offered to help you achieve your goals.

Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? Yes
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 111 The City of Hawthorne was included as part of the CEDS prepared by the Los Angeles County Workforce Investment Board (LAWIB) for 2013-2018. Every five years, LAWIB develops the CEDS for the region with the assistance of the South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) to present the current condition of the Los Angeles County economy and its impact on residents and businesses. The analysis identifies economically vulnerable areas suitable for economic development investment by considering indicators such as unemployment, income and education as well as infrastructure, business activity and economic competitiveness relative to other markets
Discussion
Hawthorne’s location at the hub of the south bay, adjacent to the Los Angeles Airport and in near proximity to the San Pedro Harbor makes it a highly desirable location for a wide variety of businesses. In addition, Hawthorne’s infrastructure and skilled workforce make it an ideal place for small and large companies to call home.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 112 Based on a review of CPD Maps, there is one area of the City where multiple housing problems are concentrated. One Census Tract in the City experience cost burden in excess of 73 percent of all households paying more than 30 percent of their monthly income for housing costs. This was located on the southwestern part of the City to the east of the 405 freeway. Evaluation of maps showing housing overcrowding and substandard housing revealed discernable concentrations on the northern part of the City along the 105 freeway.

Definitions of Concentration
Low-Income
Threshold: A Census tract is deemed to have a concentration of low-income residents if the poverty rate of a given Census tract has 20 percentage points or more than the average poverty rate for the jurisdiction.

How to Determine:

1. Use ACS Table DP03 to identify poverty rate

2. In CPD Maps, using the Map Query Tool, select “Poverty Rate” as the data element

3. Set the minimum bound of the parameters to 20 percentage points over the City’s poverty rate

4. Identify the Census tracts that meet the threshold
Minority
Threshold: A Census tract is deemed to have a concentration of minority residents if the share of minority residents of a given Census tract has 20 percentage points or more than the average minority concentration for the jurisdiction.

How to Determine:

1. Use ACS Table DP05 to identify share of White Alone (not Hispanic) population

2. Subtract 20 percentage points from the share of White Alone (not Hispanic)

3. In CPD Maps, using the Map Query Tool, select “White Alone” as the data element

4. Set the maximum bound of the parameters to the number determined in Step 2

5. Identify the Census tracts that meet the threshold
Multiple Housing Problems
Threshold: A Census tract is deemed to have a concentration of multiple housing problems if a Census tract has 20 percentage points or more than the share of households experiencing cost burden AND overcrowding in the jurisdiction.

How to Determine:

1. From the NA/MA Calculation Sheet – identify total share of households experiencing cost burden and overcrowding

2. Add 20 percentage points to each figure

3. In CPD Maps, using the Map Query Tool select both Housing Cost Burden and Overcrowding data elements

4. Set the minimum bounds of each parameter to the numbers determined in Step 2

5. Identify the Census tracts that meet the threshold
Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 113 Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") According to Figure 19, at least 24 percent of the households in each of the Census Tracts within the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas are Hispanic. In addition, low-income household concentrations can be found in the majority of the Census Tracts located east of the 405 freeway, which represents a majority of the Census Tracts in the City.

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? According to demographic data generated through CPD Maps for the Census Tracts noted in the question above, the Census Tracts are considered low- and moderate-income areas in accordance with CDBG requirements. As noted above, these Census Tracts are over 46 percent Hispanic with an income below the median income for the City. These Census Tracts contain the highest level of unemployment for the City at over 12 percent of the residents in the area. In addition, the poverty in this areas is also the highest in the City at a level above 7 percent.

Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? There are numerous community assets in the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas, including:
• Hawthorne City Hall
• Hawthorne Historic Civic Center
• Hawthorne Public Library
• Hawthorne Plaza
• Numerous parks and recreational facilities
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The redevelopment of the Hawthorne Plaza will increase economic opportunity in the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas for the future and will likely bring additional diversity to the area in terms of race, ethnicity and income.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and ModerateIncome Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2) Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 114 Throughout the City of Hawthorne, residents have consistent and multiple options to access broadband, highspeed internet. For broadband download speeds of 25 megabytes per second (mbps), 100% of residents are serviced by at least three internet service providers. For download speeds of 100 mbps, 71% of residents are serviced by two internet service providers and 28% of residents are serviced by one provider. According to broadbandnow, the average download speed in Hawthorne is 70.91 mbps which is 119.3% faster than the average internet speed in California.

Of those who participated in the community outreach survey, 87% indicated that they had access to broadband internet.

Hawthorne complies with HUD’s Narrowing the Digital Divide Through Installation of Broadband Infrastructure in HUD-Funded New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation of Multifamily Rental Housing (81 FR 92626) rule (effective January 19, 2017). Through this rule, all new HUD-funded multi-family construction or substantial rehabilitation has included broadband infrastructure including cables, fiber optics, wiring and wireless connectivity to ensure that each unit has the infrastructure to achieve at least 25 mbps download and 3 mbps upload speeds.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 115 Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.

Throughout the city, residents are serviced by two, oftentimes at least three internet service providers who offer high speed internet. The three primary service providers in Hawthorne are Spectrum, ATT and Earthlink.

While broadband is available through multiple providers, residents who participated in the community outreach survey, identified that access to broadband was the highest public infrastructure need in Hawthorne.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.

Climate change has increased the prevalence and severity of natural hazard risks including drought, flash floods/storms, and extreme heat events in Hawthorne. To help counter the impact of these risks, and complies Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Market Analysis 116 with CAL Green building standards. Through both of these initiatives, the City promotes multiple strategies to mitigate the impact of climate-related hazards by promoting green building, reducing water usage/ storm water run off, improving weatherization of residential properties, and promoting alternative transportation and permeable pavement and landscaping.

Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.

Low- and moderate-income residents and special needs populations are especially vulnerable to the risks of climate-related hazard risks. The residences of low- and moderate-income households are more often in worse condition and thus are more susceptible to external weather conditions such as extreme heat. Likewise, elderly residents are at a greater risk to weather conditions such as extreme heat.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 117 Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
The Strategic Plan is a guide for the City of Hawthorne to establish its housing and community development priorities, objectives and strategies for the investment of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) over the next five years, beginning July 1, 20120 and ending June 30, 2025. The priority needs and goals established in this Strategic Plan (Plan) are based on analysis of information including the results of the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey and housing and community development data elements required by HUD in the online Consolidated Plan system (the eCon Planning Suite) from the 2011- 2015 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) covering the same time period. Additional sources of information used to identify needs and establish priorities were obtained through consultation with local nonprofit agencies involved in the development of affordable housing and the delivery of public services to children, families, elderly persons and persons with special needs throughout the community.

In consideration of community input and available data, the eight (8) priority needs listed below are established as part of this Plan.
• Preserve the supply of affordable housing
• Increase the supply of affordable housing for low-income individuals, families, persons with special needs and persons experiencing homelessness
• Public services for low-and moderate-income income residents • Ensure equal access to housing opportunities
• Improve public facilities and infrastructure
• Address material barriers to accessibility
• COVID-19 impact
• Promote economic opportunities
Consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG and HOME programs to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, the priority needs listed above will be addressed over the next five years through the implementation of CDBG and HOME funded activities aligned with the following seven (7) measurable Strategic Plan goals:
• Affordable Housing Preservation
• Affordable Housing Development
• Fair Housing Services
• Public Services
• Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements
• COVID-19 response
Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 118 • Economic development opportunities
Historically, the City of Hawthorne has used the CDBG and HOME programs to support activities that meet one of the seven (7) aforementioned goals or similar goals established in prior Consolidated Plans. The City is able to provide these programs through its collaboration with its local nonprofit agencies that provide direct services to the City of Hawthorne residents. Over the next five years, the City will continue this emphasis and will also use these resources to support City sponsored programs and activities that support the goals and objectives of this Plan.

Table 53 - Geographic Priority Areas
General Allocation Priorities
According to data from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates in HUD’s eCon Planning Suite for the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City's household median income is $45,610. Evaluation of maps generated through HUD's Community Planning and Development mapping system (CPD Maps) reveals that approximately 11 of the Census Tracts in the City of Hawthorne have a median household income of $45,610 or less. Based on the data, the Census Tracts having a median household income below $45,610 occur on the north and lower east side of the City.

Based on the evaluation of CPD Maps data, the majority of the city with the exception of the western part of the City exhibits a greater level of need for services for low- and moderate-income residents; therefore, no geographic priorities are being established within the Consolidated Plan and efforts for allocation priorities in will be made primarily based on the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas or low- and moderate income persons.

Affordable Housing Preservation
Description As the City's housing stock ages, a growing percentage of housing units may need rehabilitation to allow them to remain safe and habitable. The situation is of particular concern for low- and moderate-income home owners who are generally not in a financial position to properly maintain their homes.

Currently, over 70% percent of the City of Hawthorne existing housing stock is over 35 years old. The age and condition of Hawthorne’s housing stock is an important indicator of potential rehabilitation needs. Commonly, housing over 30 years of age needs some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work and plumbing systems. Housing over 15 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating / airconditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing fixtures.

According to CHAS data showing the year that housing units were built categorized by owner and renter tenure:
• 5,900 or 76 percent of the 7,735 owner-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built 40 or more years ago (built prior to 1980)
• 1,120 or 14 percent of the 7,735 owner-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built between 30 and 40 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999) • 14,755 or 69 percent of the 21,415 renter-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built 40 or more years ago (built prior to 1980)
• 6,195 or 29 percent of the 21,415 renter-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built between 30 and 40 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999) Only 715 or 9 percent of the 7,735 owner-occupied housing units were built after 2000.

In addition, for low- and moderate-income households, finding and maintaining decent affordable housing is difficult due to the high cost of housing in Hawthorne and throughout Southern California in general. Based on evaluation of 2011-2015 ACS and CHAS data, there is a high need for housing units affordable for households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. Of the 19,050 households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City, 13,578 are cost burdened households— meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Additionally, 7,199 of the cost burdened households are considered severely cost burdened households—meaning Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 121 that they pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Of the 7,199 severely cost burdened households, 5,850 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 5,690 households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless. Consistent with available data, responses to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey indicate a high need for additional affordable housing in Hawthorne.

Basis for
Relative
Priority
To specifically address housing needs of the most vulnerable populations, the City is placing a high priority on rental assistance, and may, subject to funding availability, allocate HOME funding for Tenant-Based Rental Assistance projects in Action Plans during the 2020-2024 planning period.

Pursuant to HUD regulations at 24 CFR 91.225(d), the City of Hawthorne certifies as part of its Action Plan(s) from 2020-2024 that the use of HOME funds for tenant-based rental assistance is an essential element of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan for the affordability and availability of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing.

Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by lowand moderate-income households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate-income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities allows economically disadvantaged segments of the community to the means to ensure that their property meets local standards and that all Hawthorne residents have the opportunity to live in decent housing. Housing preservation is rated as a high priority need based on the demand for service reported by the City's Community Development Department and responses to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey. 2 Priority Need

(TBRA)
The City of Hawthorne will use HOME-ARP funds to provide Tenant-Based Rental Assistance qualified populations.

As the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis in this document have clearly shown, thousands of Hawthorne households are cost burdened and in need of rental assistance. Of the 5,510 severely cost burdened households, 5,035 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 4,480, households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless. Section 8 vouchers administered by City's Housing Authority will continue to be a critical resource for low‐income families and individuals.

TBRA for NonHomeless Special
Needs
The City of Hawthorne will use HOME-ARP funds to provide Tenant-Based Rental Assistance to extremely low and low-income seniors experiencing housing cost burden or severe housing cost burden.

New Unit
Production
As documented in the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis, the need for affordable housing is high throughout Hawthorne. Due to resource scarcity, investments will focus on the acquisition of affordable housing (owner and renter occupied) and not the creation of new housing units.

Rehabilitation The City will invest CDBG and HOME funds in the Residential Rehabilitation Program as a cost effective means of preserving the supply of both ownership and rental housing. Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to lowand moderate-income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities provided that all economic segments of the community have the means to ensure that their property meets local standards and that all Hawthorne residents have the opportunity to live in decent housing.

Acquisition,

As the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis in this document have clearly shown, thousands of Hawthorne households are cost burdened and likely eligible for acquisition and rehabilitation of existing affordable housing units if sufficient resources existed to develop an adequate supply to address the need. Typically the City’s resources are only sufficient to leverage other larger sources such as low income housing tax credits. In addition, costs for labor and materials affect the overall rehabilitation costs and the number of units that the City can support in any given year. Another critical issue that influences the use of funds to acquire properties for the preservation of affordable units is the lack of a permanent source of takeout/capital financing. Affordable housing financing deals are comprised of a number of financing sources, all dependent on each other to move forward and result in the completion of a project.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 127 SP-35 Anticipated Resources - 91.215(a)(4), 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction
During the five-year period of the Consolidated Plan from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2025, the City of Hawthorne anticipates investing an estimated $9.5 million of CDBG and HOME funds to support the goals of this Strategic Plan. The annual allocation of CDBG and HOME funds is subject to change each year based on a number of factors such as the amount of the national appropriation, changes in ACS population data applied to the CPD grant formulas, statutory changes to the CPD grant formulas, the addition or removal of entitlements receiving a particular CPD grant and the availability of reallocated funds. Additionally, state, local and private resources will vary significantly depending on economic conditions.

Table 56 - Anticipated Resources
Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 129 Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied As a City with substantial housing and community development needs, Hawthorne needs to leverage its CDBG and HOME entitlement grants with a variety of funding resources in order to maximize the effectiveness of available funds. The City’s former Redevelopment Agency was the City’s primary non-federal source of leveraged funds. With the elimination of the City’s Redevelopment Agency, the City’s ability to leverage federal funds has been substantially reduced. The City is currently seeking new opportunities to leverage federal funds, such as the Low Income Tax Credit program and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 202 and 811 for the Elderly Program.

Federal Resources
• Continuum of Care (CoC) Program
• HUD Veterans Affairs supportive Housing (HUD-VASH)
• Supportive Housing for the Elderly (Section 202)
• Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) • Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
• Youthbuild
• Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program
State Resources
• State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program
• Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN) • CalHome Program
• Multifamily Housing Program (MHP)
• Housing Related Parks Grant
• CalHFA Single and Multi-Family Program
• Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding
Local Resources
• Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA)
• Los Angeles County Development Agency (LACDA)
• Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA) Funding Private Resources
• Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP) • Community Reinvestment Act Programs
• United Way Funding
Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 130 • Private Contributions
HOME Matching Requirements
HUD requires HOME Participating Jurisdictions (PJ’s) to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.222, PJ’s satisfying the distress criteria established by the HOME Program regulations are provided a match reduction. In 2019, the City of Hawthorne received a 50% match reduction from HUD, and therefore, is required to match 12.5% of HOME Funds using non-federal funds. The City of Hawthorne leverages HOME funds with other local and private non-federal resources.

In accordance with the guidance received from HUD and as documented in the memo issued on April 10, 2020 titled “Availability of Waivers and Suspensions of the HOME Program Requirements in Response to COVID-19 Pandemic”, the City will be utilizing the Matching Contribution Requirements waiver.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
In December 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26, which barred Redevelopment Agencies from engaging in new business and provided for their windup and dissolution. In the last five years, the elimination of the Redevelopment Agencies has resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This was the most significant public policy change impacting affordable housing and residential investment.

While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets are tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies (Successor Agencies) that may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce.

Discussion
Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG and HOME programs, the City expects to spend approximately $2.68 million of CDBG and HOME funds on projects that enhance the availability, affordability and sustainability of affordable housing between July 2020 and June 2025. It is anticipated that all $2.68 million of this will be spent on affordable housing development and preservation. Based on prior project experience, we anticipate that these funds will leverage other public and private funding, including but not limited to:
• Low-Income Housing Tax Credits
• Project-based Section 8 certificates
• Project financing at favorable interest rates from local lenders • Private contributions to local CHDOs
• Private market real estate investments
• Market rate housing that subsidizes affordable units on the same development site Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG program, the City expects to spend approximately $1.04 million of CDBG funds on community development, public facilities, and infrastructure that promote a suitable living environment between July 2020 and June 2025. Anticipated projects include:

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 131 • Public Facilities Improvements (including ADA)
• Infrastructure Improvements (streets, sidewalks, etc.) • Community Center
Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG program, the City does not expect to spend CDBG funds on economic opportunity activities to support the development and expansion of local small businesses or neighborhood services between July 2020 and June 2025. The City will fund these activities through other funding sources.

The City of Hawthorne’s public service programs focus on the provision of services to address the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals, families with children, victims of domestic violence and their families and unaccompanied youth through funding sources other than CDBG or HOME that are awarded to local non-profit service providers. Homelessness prevention and supportive services are high priority needs within this Strategic Plan and although will not be funded as part of the Annual Action Plan, the City will work with the County CoC to address these needs.

Often, the primary obstacle to delivering services to homeless populations is the homeless individual’s willingness to seek assistance and housing. To address this problem, the City provides direct outreach and engagement with linkages to available resources in the City and the region.

Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above Hawthorne has a long track record of successful partnerships among public and private sector entities. The delivery system for the HUD grant programs is no exception. Communication and cooperation between the City of Hawthorne’s Housing Department and partnered agencies and organizations that administer activities is effective. City staff continues to work closely with the other organizations to improve regulatory compliance, monitoring, cooperation and partnerships among agencies and technical capacity of organizations involved in project delivery.

The single most significant gap in the service delivery system remains the lack of available funding to support local programs in Hawthorne for special needs populations and persons experiencing homelessness. In Hawthorne, this funding is limited to 15 percent of the annual allocation of CDBG funds. The City is not a direct recipient of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds; therefore, most of the HUD funding to address homelessness is available through the Los Angeles County Department of Social Services and the CoC. State funding has been drastically reduced by several years of fiscal challenges for the State of California; private sources have been reduced as foundation endowments and corporate profits have shrunk in recent years; and City funds for this purpose are limited. Finally, as the City’s HUD grants have declined over the last several years, it has been difficult to accommodate increasing levels of need in the community and increases in the cost of providing services to homeless and special needs populations.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 134 Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs
To address the lack of non-profit agencies providing services to persons experiencing homelessness, the City is working with The Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA) and its nonprofit service providers to explore alternate funding sources.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 138 SP-50 Public Housing Accessibility and Involvement – 91.215(c) Need to Increase the Number of Accessible Units (if Required by a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement)
Not applicable.

Activities to Increase Resident Involvements
HHA and LACDA actively encourage residents to be involved in the organization through resident councils and active participation in housing authority decisions via surveys and other forms of engagement. HHA encourages residents to explore homeownership opportunities. In addition, LACDA currently administers Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program for public conventional housing and Housing Choice Voucher program residents. The FSS program provides critical tools and supportive services to foster a resident’s transition from financial and housing assistance to economic and housing self-sufficiency, most importantly homeownership.

To support this effort, HHA and LACDA utilize marketing materials to outreach and further promote the program’s requirements and benefits to all public housing residents. For families that are eligible to participate, a Contract of Participation (COP) is prepared to govern the terms and conditions of their participation and an Individual Training Service Plan (ITSP) is created that outlines the following: supportive services to be provided, activities to be completed by the participant, and agreed upon completion dates for the services and activities.

The COP is valid for five years and may be extended to allow the family to meet their ITSP goals.

Once the COP is established and the family experiences an increase in tenant rent as a result of earned income, an escrow account in their name is established and increased earned income is deposited into this account. Escrow accounts are disbursed to the family once the family has graduated successfully from the program. Families are encouraged to utilize these funds towards educational and homeownership endeavors.

Additionally, HHA and LACDA provides residents with information on homeownership programs.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 139 SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.

Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the 2013-2021 Housing Element and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in Hawthorne are housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply and insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.

For low- and moderate-income households, finding and maintaining decent affordable housing is difficult due to the high cost of housing in Hawthorne and throughout Southern California in general. Based on evaluation of 2011-2015 ACS and CHAS data, there is a high need for housing units affordable for households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. Of the 19,050 households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City, 13,578 are cost burdened households—meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing.

Additionally, 7,199 of the cost burdened households are considered severely cost burdened households— meaning that they pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Of the 7,199 severely cost burdened households, 5,850 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 5,690 households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless. Consistent with available data, responses to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey indicate a high need for additional affordable housing in Hawthorne.

Data collected by the National Low-Income Housing Coalition in the 2019 Out of Reach Report indicates that the median wage needed to afford a two-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles County is $71,640. A minimum wage earner must work 131 hours per week to afford that same two-bedroom unit. Even if a household can earn the necessary amount for rent, many families do not have safety-net resources such as savings or local family to support them through a financial crisis. A job loss, sudden illness or rent increase can often push the family beyond their financial limits and result in the loss of their home.

In past years, the elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This was the most significant public policy change impacting affordable housing and residential investment. While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce.

Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, this Strategic Plan calls for the investment of a significant portion of HOME funds to preserve 30 existing affordable housing units, Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 140 develop 2 affordable rental housing units, and the provision of tenant-based rental assistance to 150 lowincome households over the next five years. Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds, the City will continue to leverage its HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources. This strategy will increase the supply of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing in the City.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 141 SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through coordination of regional strategies carried out locally by government agencies and a wide variety of community based organizations and faith-based groups. Consistent with this approach, the City of Hawthorne supports the efforts of The Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA), County Continuum of Care (CoC), and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout Los Angeles County. In alignment with this strategy, the City will use other local funds to support local service providers as well as City run programs to prevent homelessness and to expand the supply of affordable housing in Hawthorne for low- and moderate-income residents.

According to the Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness, the CoC is in the process of implementing several regional strategies that will enhance local coordination to more effectively assist people in need. To more rapidly identify and assess people experiencing homelessness, the CoC is working to create regional homeless access centers that will offer fully coordinated systems of outreach and will facilitate universal assessment, intake, referral and transportation to resources. The CoC is also developing resources of information (such as 2-1-1) to better serve individuals who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. In addition, the CoC is working to implement a database using real time information from intake and assessment that is housed in the Homeless Management Information System (HIMS). Collectively these strategies will help minimize duplication of effort and better connect the most vulnerable individuals and families, chronically homeless, and people at risk of becoming homeless to appropriate resources.

Since the adoption of the Ten-Year Plan, the CoC has taken initial steps toward fully coordinated systems of outreach and assessment. With the assistance of 2-1-1, residents are provided a comprehensive informational and referral system. To better understand the nature and extent of homelessness, every two years during the last 10 days of January, HUD requires communities across the country to conduct a comprehensive count of their homeless population. The CoC also conducts informational outreach presentations concerning homelessness in Los Angeles County throughout the community.

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

Los Angeles County has implemented policy and program changes aimed at ensuring homeless persons in Los Angeles County are rapidly housed and offered an appropriate level of support services to meet their circumstances and keep them stably housed.

This increase in permanent supportive housing for the most vulnerable populations is attributed to Los Angeles County homeless service providers re-tooling their programs and shifting their focus to moving people quickly Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 142 into permanent supportive housing throughout the County. Homelessness can be significantly reduced and the quality of life of our residents, especially those precariously housed or homeless can be improved.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.

In support of CoC efforts, the city will use other funds to support activities implemented by local nonprofit organizations that provide services to help prevent and eliminate homelessness, including families at risk of homelessness, victims of domestic violence and their families. The City will also use HOME funds to expand the supply of affordable housing in Hawthorne.

Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs
An individual or family is considered to be at-risk of becoming homeless if it experiences extreme difficulty maintaining their housing and has no reasonable alternatives for obtaining subsequent housing. Homelessness often results from a complex set of circumstances that require people to choose between food, shelter and other basic needs. Examples of common circumstances that can cause homelessness include eviction, loss of income, insufficient income, disability, increase in the cost of housing, discharge from an institution, irreparable damage or deterioration to housing, and fleeing from family violence.

Referred to as “Bring L.A. Home!” The Campaign to End Homelessness”, the plan initiates a 10-year campaign to end homelessness in Los Angeles County by establishing a broad range of strategies that address a multitude of issues related to homelessness. The plan is consistent with State and Federal initiatives for ending homelessness and consists of the following seven guiding principles:
• Preventing homelessness
• Addressing the structural causes of homelessness
• Sustaining the current capacity to serve homeless people and building new capacity where it is needed • Ensuring rapid return to housing for people who become homeless • Bringing alienated homeless people into the mainstream of society • Taking a regional approach to the crisis
• Reaffirming that housing is one of the basic human rights With the focus of addressing family homelessness, chronic homelessness and mainstream and system changes (homeless prevention), “Bring L.A. Home! The Campaign to End Homelessness” represents a commitment by all stakeholders throughout the County to end homelessness within a decade.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 143 SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. This strategy requires the City to implement programs that protect children living in older housing from lead hazards.

Overall, the City has a relatively old housing stock; therefore, lead-based paint hazards are an extensive issue in Hawthorne. According to ACS data, approximately a vast majority of Hawthorne’s housing stock (76.31 percent) was built on or prior to 1979, meaning that the residents of these homes may possibly be at risk of lead-based paint hazards. Only those units constructed prior to January 1, 1978 are presumed to have the potential to contain lead-based paint. In these units, the best way to have reasonable assurance that lead-based paint hazards are not present is to have the painted surfaces tested.

According to the City of Hawthorne’s Housing Rehabilitation (HRP) Program, a typical lead-based paint screening survey costs approximately $450. To reduce lead-based paint hazards, the City of Hawthorne takes the following actions:
• Include lead testing and abatement procedures if necessary in all residential rehabilitation activities for units built prior to January 1, 1978.
• Monitor the lead-poisoning data maintained by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health Environmental Health. According to LA Department of Public Health, there were 9 incidents of Hawthorne children with elevated blood lead levels greater than 9.5 micrograms per deciliter and 10 documented cases with elevated blood levels great than 20 micrograms per deciliter from 2009- 2013.
• Educate residents on the health hazards of lead-based paint through the use of brochures and encourage screening children for elevated blood-lead levels. • Disseminate brochures about lead hazards through organizations such as the Fair Housing Foundation and the City’s residential rehabilitation activities.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Over time, the actions listed above will promote greater awareness of the hazards of lead-based paint to children and will also address unsafe housing conditions in pre-1978 units where children may potentially be exposed to lead-based paint hazards.

How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The City of Hawthorne’s Housing Rehabilitation Program (HRP) Implementation Guidelines require the dissemination of brochures provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to all applicants as part of the transmittal of the program application. Any unit receiving assistance through the program that was built prior to January 1, 1978 is tested for lead-based paint. If lead-based paint is present, appropriate abatement procedures are implemented as part of the rehabilitation contract consistent with the requirements of 24 CFR Part 35.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 144 SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families
Similar to other communities in Los Angeles County and across the nation, poverty continues to be a significant challenge. According to the 2011-2015 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, there are 14,368 Hawthorne residents living in poverty. In an effort to meaningfully address this challenge, all five (5) goals of the 2020-2024 Strategic Plan are aligned to support activities that promote the availability of affordable housing and provide essential services that directly benefit low- and moderate-income residents. In the implementation of the Plan, the City will prioritize funding for activities that most effectively address the Plan goals over the next five years. This strategy will emphasize using CDBG and HOME funds to help individuals and families rise out of poverty to long-term self-sufficiency.

The implementation of CDBG and HOME activities meeting the goals established in this Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty-level families by:
• Supporting activities that increase the supply of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households;
• Supporting housing preservation programs that assure low-and moderate-income households have a safe, decent and appropriate place to live;
• Supporting public services through the non-profits funded by CDBG that serve the community’s youth, seniors, families and those with special needs; and
• Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs funded by CDBG and HOME to prevent and eliminate homelessness.

In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start provide a pathway out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKS, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi-Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition and transportation.

How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan?
Hawthorne and much of Los Angeles County is a high housing cost area relative to household income. Although housing costs temporarily declined and became more affordable during the recent economic recession, rents in Hawthorne have since surpassed their pre-recession levels and are currently out of reach for many individuals and families. National funding limitations on Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and long application wait lists for both conventional public housing and City sponsored affordable housing limit the number of families in poverty that can benefit from these programs.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 145 The goals of the Consolidated Plan are aligned to benefit low- and moderate-income residents in an effort to reduce the number of poverty-level families. The Affordable Housing Preservation goal will include activities targeted to families who own their residence but lack the resources to address emergency repairs or maintain the property in compliance with City’s codes and standards. Addressing substandard or emergency housing conditions allows low- and moderate-income families to maintain housing stability while also guaranteeing that all economic segments of the community live in decent housing. The Public Services for low- and moderateincome families will fund activities targeted to families in poverty and other low- and moderate-income households with specific service needs. Providing this range of targeted services allows children and families in Hawthorne appropriate support and resources to rise from poverty and become more self-sufficient.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 146 SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
To ensure that CDBG and HOME funds are used efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulations, the City provides technical assistance to all subrecipients at the beginning of each program year and monitors subrecipients throughout the program year.

Technical Assistance
To enhance compliance with federal program regulations, the City provides an annual Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) workshop to review the Plan goals, program requirements and available resources with potential applicants. Subsequent to the approval of the Annual Action Plan, a mandatory subrecipient workshop is held to review program regulations in detail, to provide useful forms and resources for documenting compliance and to review the City’s compliance procedures and requirements. Additionally, individualized technical assistance is provided on an as-needed basis throughout a program year.

Activity Monitoring
All activities are monitored, beginning with a detailed review upon receipt of an application to determine eligibility, conformance with a National Objective and conformance with a Plan goal. This review also examines the proposed use of funds, eligibility of the service area, eligibility of the intended beneficiaries and likelihood of compliance with other federal requirements such as the National Environmental Policy Act, the System for Award Management (SAM) debarment list, prevailing wage, Minority and Women Business Enterprise, Section 3 and federal acquisition and relocation regulations, as applicable.

Subrecipients are required to submit an audit and other documentation to establish their capacity, and any findings noted in the audit are reviewed with the applicant. Eligible applications are then considered for funding.

Once funded, desk monitoring includes ongoing review of required quarterly performance reports. For CDBG public service activities, an on-site monitoring is conducted once every two (2) years, or more frequently as needed to ensure compliance. These reviews include both a fiscal and programmatic review of the subrecipient’s activities. The reviews determine if the subrecipient is complying with the program regulations and City contract. Areas routinely reviewed include overall administration, financial systems, appropriateness of program expenditures, program delivery, client eligibility determination and documentation, reporting systems, and achievement toward achieving contractual goals. Following the monitoring visit, a written report is provided delineating the results of the review and any findings of non-compliance and the required corrective action. Subrecipients normally have 30 days to provide the City with corrective actions taken to address any noted findings. Individualized technical assistance is provided, as noted above, as soon as compliance concerns are identified. For CDBG capital projects, monitoring also includes compliance with regulatory agreement requirements. For HOME funded activities, annual monitoring is undertaken to ensure that for renter occupied units, household income, rents and utility allowances are in compliance with applicable limits pursuant to the Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Strategic Plan 147 affordability covenant. For ownership units, annual monitoring of occupancy is conducted throughout the affordability period.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 148
Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The strategic plan goals included in this Consolidated Plan are based on resources that are reasonably anticipated to be available to the City from federal, state, local and private sources from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2025. The actual resources available to support activities during the implementation of this Consolidated Plan may vary significantly due to factors outside of the City’s control. For example, HUD formula grant allocations are subject to change each year based on a number of factors such as the amount of the national appropriation, changes in ACS population data applied to the CPD grant formulas, statutory changes to the CPD grant formulas, the addition or removal of entitlements receiving a particular CPD grant and the availability of reallocated funds. Additionally, state, local and private resources will vary significantly depending on economic conditions.

August 2020 Amendment
The CARES Act allocation from HUD includes $771,494 of CDBG-CV funds. The period of performance for these grants under law is from March 1, 2020 to September 30, 2022. The City is also allocating $1,194,706 of prior year unused HOME funds. If HUD authorizes additional resources, the City will further amend this Action Plan.

April 2021 Amendment
For the special allocation of CDBG resources, the City received two allocations that amounted to a total of $1,712,974. Should HUD authorize additional resources, the City will further amend this Action Plan.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 150
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied As a City with substantial housing and community development needs, Hawthorne needs to leverage its CDBG and HOME entitlement grants with a variety of funding resources in order to maximize the effectiveness of available funds. The City’s former Redevelopment Agency was the City’s primary non-federal source of leveraged funds. With the elimination of the City’s Redevelopment Agency, the City’s ability to leverage federal funds has been substantially reduced. The City is currently seeking new opportunities to leverage federal funds, such as the Low Income Tax Credit program and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 202 and 811 for the Elderly Program.

Since the initial planning and programming of these resources, the Housing Department has worked closely with other City departments as well as County, State, and Federal partners to identify other available resources authorized through the CARES Act, the Small Business Administration (SBA), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that may be leveraged to maximize the impact of the CDBG-CV resources.

Federal Resources
• Continuum of Care (CoC) Program
• HUD Veterans Affairs supportive Housing (HUD-VASH)
• Supportive Housing for the Elderly (Section 202)
• Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) • Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
• Youthbuild
• Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program
State Resources
• State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program
• Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN) • CalHome Program
• Multifamily Housing Program (MHP)
• Housing Related Parks Grant
• CalHFA Single and Multi-Family Program
• Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding
Local Resources
• Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA)
• Los Angeles County Development Agency (HAcLA)
• Los Angeles County Community Development Commission (LACDC) • Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA) Funding Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 151
Private Resources
• Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP) • Community Reinvestment Act Programs
• United Way Funding
• Private Contributions
HOME Matching Requirements
HUD requires HOME Participating Jurisdictions (PJ’s) to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.222, PJ’s satisfying the distress criteria established by the HOME Program regulations are provided a match reduction. In 2019, City of Hawthorne received a 50% match reduction from HUD, and therefore, is required to match 12.5% of HOME Funds using non-federal funds. The City of Hawthorne leverages HOME funds with other local and private non-federal resources.

In accordance with the guidance received from HUD and as documented in the memo issued on April 10, 2020 titled “Availability of Waivers and Suspensions of the HOME Program Requirements in Response to COVID-19 Pandemic”, the City will be utilizing the Matching Contribution Requirements waiver.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
In December 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26, which barred Redevelopment Agencies from engaging in new business and provided for their windup and dissolution. In the last five years, the elimination of the Redevelopment Agencies has resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This was the most significant public policy change impacting affordable housing and residential investment.

While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets are tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies (Successor Agencies) that may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce.

Discussion
Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG and HOME programs, the City expects to spend approximately $2.68 million of CDBG and HOME funds on projects that enhance the availability, affordability and sustainability of affordable housing between July 2020 and June 2025. It is anticipated that all $2.68 million of this will be spent on affordable housing development and preservation. Based on prior project experience, we anticipate that these funds will leverage other public and private funding, including but not limited to:
• Low-Income Housing Tax Credits
• Project-based Section 8 certificates
• Project financing at favorable interest rates from local lenders • Private contributions to local CHDOs
• Private market real estate investments
Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 152
• Market rate housing that subsidizes affordable units on the same development site Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG program, the City expects to spend approximately $1.04 million of CDBG funds on community development, public facilities, and infrastructure that promote a suitable living environment between July 2020 and June 2025. Anticipated projects include:
• Public Facilities Improvements (including ADA)
• Infrastructure Improvements (streets, sidewalks, etc.) • Homeless Center
Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG program, the City does not expect to spend CDBG funds on economic opportunity activities to support the development and expansion of local small businesses or neighborhood services between July 2020 and June 2025. The City will fund these activities through other funding sources.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its CDBG funds (excluding Section 108 loan repayment and CDBG administration) as well as HOME funds for 2020-2021 projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people. Due to the nature of the projects and activities to be undertaken, investments in projects concerning Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements are limited to the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas while other projects and activities benefit low- and moderate-income limited clientele and are available citywide.

The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to lowincome people and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG and HOME funds through the 2020-2021 Action Plan in projects that provide loans to low- and moderate-income homeowners for home improvements and projects Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 157
that provide public services to low- and moderate-income people and those that are at-risk of becoming homeless.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed Assistance will be primarily directed to the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas are shown on the map included in section SP-10 of the Consolidated Plan. The CDBG low- and moderate-income areas are comprised of low- and moderate-income Census Tract Block Groups as defined by HUD. Residents of the CDBG lowand moderate-income areas have median incomes at or below 80% of the area median income based on family size for the County of Los Angeles. A total of 86,440 residents live in these Census Tract Block Groups, of which 62,945 or 73 percent are members of low- and moderate-income households according to HUD lowand moderate-income summary data available at the Census Tract Block Group level. Based on available data and mapping in NA-10 of the Consolidated Plan, the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas are primarily Hispanic.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 163
Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
Three high priority affordable housing needs are identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and three Strategic Plan goals are established to provide the framework necessary to invest CDBG and HOME funds to address the affordable housing needs of the City.

Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing
Based on evaluation of 2011-2015 ACS and CHAS data, there is a high need for housing units affordable for households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. Of the 19,050 households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City, 13,578 are cost burdened households—meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Additionally, 7,199 of the cost burdened households are considered severely cost burdened households—meaning that they pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Of the 7,199 severely cost burdened households, 5,850 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 5,690 households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless.

Preserve the Supply of Affordable Housing
As the City's housing stock ages, a growing percentage of housing units may need rehabilitation to allow them to remain safe and habitable. The situation is of particular concern for low- and moderate-income homeowners who are generally not in a financial position to properly maintain their homes.

The age and condition of Hawthorne’s housing stock is an important indicator of potential rehabilitation needs.

Commonly, housing over 30 years of age needs some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work and plumbing systems. Housing over 15 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating / air-conditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing fixtures.

According to CHAS data showing the year that housing units were built categorized by owner and renter tenure:
• 5,900 or 76 percent of the 7,735 owner-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built 40 or more years ago (built prior to 1980)
• 1,120 or 14 percent of the 7,735 owner-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built between 30 and 40 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999)
• 14,755 or 69 percent of the 21,415 renter-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built 40 or more years ago (built prior to 1980)
• 6,195 or 29 percent of the 21,415 renter-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built between 30 and 40 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999)
Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and moderateincome households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 164
already affordable to low- and moderate-income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities provide that all economic segments of the community have the means to ensure that their property meets local standards and that all Hawthorne residents have the opportunity to live in decent housing.

The Strategic Plan identifies a high priority need to expand the supply of affordable housing and a high priority need to preserve the supply of affordable housing. During the 2020-2021 program year, the City of Hawthorne will invest CDBG funds in the preservation of affordable housing units. Specifically, CDBG funds will be used to support affordable housing preservation projects including the City of Hawthorne Housing Rehabilitation Program. In addition, the City is prioritizing the investment of HOME funds in support of the Affordable Housing Development CHDO project.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 165
AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The City of Hawthorne Housing Authority was formed in 1994 under State of California Housing Authority Law to actively improve existing neighborhoods and develop affordable housing opportunities using local, state and federal resources. The Hawthorne Housing Authority does not administer Section 8 and does not own HUD Public Housing; however, the City is within the service area of the Los Angeles County Development Agency (LACDA) for the purposes of Section 8 and Public Housing.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing During the 2020-2021 program year, LACDA will continue providing housing and public services to existing residents of the City of Hawthorne. LACDA takes in feedback of residents collected through resident surveys distributed throughout the City of Hawthorne to improve services.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
LACDA actively encourages residents to be involved in the organization through resident councils and active participation in housing authority decisions via surveys and other forms of engagement. Resident surveys were distributed with translation services available on request. Community meetings in target areas were hosted with copies of the Consolidated Plan draft being available in these areas. A public hearing is conducted to accept public comments on the draft plan before its approval and submittal to HUD. Grant funding is administered to increase housing availability and accessibility to residents to encourage greater participation in homeownership. LACDA also maintains quarterly newsletters for Section 8 tenants, public housing residents, and Section 8 property owners.

If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
N/A, LACDA is designated as a High Performing Public Housing Agency.

Discussion
LACDA is well-positioned to continue providing Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in the City of Hawthorne and throughout Los Angeles County.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 166
AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through coordination of regional strategies carried out locally by government agencies and a wide variety of community-based organizations and faith-based groups. Consistent with this approach, the City of Hawthorne supports the efforts of The Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA), County Continuum of Care (CoC), and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout Los Angeles County. In alignment with this strategy, the City will use other local funds to support local service providers as well as City run programs to prevent homelessness and to expand the supply of affordable housing in Hawthorne for low- and moderate-income residents.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The CoC and its partner agencies will continue to provide a continuum of programs ranging from outreach, access centers, emergency shelters, safe havens, transitional and permanent housing, and prevention. More specifically, LAHSA, the County’s CoC, will increase efforts in 2020-2021 to add emergency and transitional shelter housing units through expedited construction or rehabilitation of facilities to accommodate homeless persons.

The City of Hawthorne, through coordination with the CoC and a network of homeless service providers, supports this continuum of services to address homelessness including, but not limited to, homelessness prevention programs, emergency shelter programs, and transitional housing. In 2020-2021, the City will continue to support local agencies that provide rental assistance services for the homeless that provide critical rental assistance for unsheltered persons.

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

This increase in permanent supportive housing for the most vulnerable populations is attributed to Los Angeles County homeless service providers re-tooling their programs and shifting their focus to moving people quickly into permanent supportive housing throughout the County. Homelessness can be significantly reduced and the quality of life of our residents, especially those precariously housed or homeless can be improved.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 167
In support of CoC efforts, this Strategic Plan provides for the use of HOME funds to support rental assistance activities implemented by the City or a local nonprofit organizations to help prevent and eliminate homelessness. The City will also use HOME funds to expand the supply of affordable housing in Hawthorne.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
An individual or family is considered to be at-risk of becoming homeless if it experiences extreme difficulty maintaining their housing and has no reasonable alternatives for obtaining subsequent housing. Homelessness often results from a complex set of circumstances that require people to choose between food, shelter and other basic needs. Examples of common circumstances that can cause homelessness include eviction, loss of income, insufficient income, disability, increase in the cost of housing, discharge from an institution, irreparable damage or deterioration to housing, and fleeing from family violence.

Referred to as “Bring L.A. Home!” The Campaign to End Homelessness”, the plan initiates a 10-year campaign to end homelessness in Los Angeles County by establishing a broad range of strategies that address a multitude of issues related to homelessness. The plan is consistent with State and Federal initiatives for ending homelessness and consists of the following seven guiding principles:
• Preventing homelessness
• Addressing the structural causes of homelessness
• Sustaining the current capacity to serve homeless people and building new capacity where it is needed • Ensuring rapid return to housing for people who become homeless • Bringing alienated homeless people into the mainstream of society • Taking a regional approach to the crisis
• Reaffirming that housing is one of the basic human rights With the focus of addressing family homelessness, chronic homelessness and mainstream and system changes (homeless prevention), “Bring L.A. Home! The Campaign to End Homelessness” represents a commitment by all stakeholders throughout the County to end homelessness within a decade.

Discussion
With limited HOME and CDBG resources available, the City will use HOME funds to expand the supply of affordable housing to prevent homelessness in Hawthorne.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 168
AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.

Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the 2013-2021 Housing Element and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in Hawthorne are housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply and insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment In the development of the 2013-2021 Housing Element, the City evaluated significant public policies affecting affordable housing development such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges and growth limitations. Based on this evaluation, the City determined that it has taken all necessary steps to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may have been a barrier to affordable housing. Moreover, the City is actively engaged with affordable housing developers concerning the siting of affordable housing and ensuring that the entitlement process runs smoothly from inception to completion.

Discussion:

To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, this Strategic Plan calls for the investment of a significant portion of HOME funds to preserve 30 existing affordable housing units and increase the supply of affordable housing by 2 over the next five years. Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds, the City will continue to leverage its HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources. This strategy will increase the supply of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing in the City.

Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 169
AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

In the implementation of the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to lowincome people and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG and HOME funds through the 2020-2021 Action Plan in projects that provide loans to low- and moderate-income homeowners for home improvements and projects that provide public services to low- and moderate-income people and those with special needs. To address underserved needs, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG and HOME investments for program year 2020-2021 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In the implementation of the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest HOME funds to preserve and maintain affordable housing through the City of Hawthorne Housing Rehabilitation Program that will provide up to 30 grants between $5,000 and $10,000 and loans of up to $35,000 to low- and moderate-income owners of single-family housing.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. To reduce lead-based paint hazards, the City of Hawthorne Housing Rehabilitation Program will conduct lead-based paint testing and risk assessments for each property assisted that was built prior to January 1, 1978 and will incorporate safe work practices or abatement into the scope of work as required to reduce lead-based paint hazards in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG and HOME activities meeting the goals established in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty-level families by:
• Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households;
• Supporting activities that preserve the supply of decent housing that is affordable to low- and Hawthorne Consolidated Plan 2020-2024: Action Plan 170
moderate-income households;
• Supporting a continuum of housing programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness; and • Supporting housing preservation programs that assure low income households have a safe, decent and appropriate place to live.

In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start provide pathways out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKS, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi-Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence and mental illness.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional delivery system in Hawthorne is high-functioning and collaborative—particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable non-profit organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. Strong City departments anchor the administration of HUD grant programs and the housing, community and economic development activities that are implemented by the City. support and enhance this existing institutional structure, the City of Hawthorne will collaborate with affordable housing developers and nonprofit agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds through the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan to ensure that the needs of low- and moderate-income residents are met as envisioned within the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will continue consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low- and moderate-income residents in Hawthorne—particularly the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas.

Discussion:

In the implementation of the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.

CITY OF HAWTHORNE - iii - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
Executive Summary
The City of Hawthorne has been allocated $2,166,698 of HOME-American Rescue Plan Act (HOME-ARP funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

In order to receive the HOME-ARP allocation, the City developed a HOME-ARP Allocation Plan as part of the City’s PY2021 HUD Annual Action Plan by substantial amendment.

To ensure broad input into the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan from stakeholders and the public, the City engaged in consultation with stakeholders and the public, including a virtual consultation session, a survey of stakeholders, a 30-day public comment period, and a public hearing. The needs assessment and gap analysis identified the following needs and gaps within the City:
 In January 2020, the annual Point in Time (PIT) count revealed that 11 people were residing in emergency housing, either in shelter or transitional housing. Another 197 people were unsheltered on the streets, in tents or makeshift shelters, or in cars, vans, RVs or campers.
 2014-2018 CHAS Data from HUD reported 4,850 households with incomes at or below 30% AMI are at risk of homelessness in the City.
 The 2014-2019 HUD CHAS data indicated there are 5,525 renter households with an annual income at or below 30% AMI with a cost burden that are at greatest risk of housing instability.
 The greatest need for supportive services was in the areas of were mental health services, landlord/tenant liaison, housing search/counseling services, childcare assistance and financial assistance.

The City recently issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) with the aim of identifying capable subrecipients to implement the TBRA program and provide supportive services to qualifying populations within the City. Regrettably, the response to the NOFA did not yield any subrecipients interested in delivering the TBRA program. However, it attracted a surplus of applicants willing to provide supportive services, surpassing the funding allocation.

In light of these outcomes, the City has decided to reevaluate its allocation strategy for the HOME-ARP program. Consequently, the revised allocation will now prioritize funding for supportive services alongside administration and planning activities for the HOME-ARP program. This adjustment ensures that the City’s resources are efficiently allocated to meet the pressing needs of the community, focusing on providing essential supportive services to those in need while streamlining administrative efforts for effective program implementation.

Stakeholder Consultation and Public Participation
HUD requires each HOME-ARP Participating Jurisdiction to consult with agencies and service providers whose clientele include the HOME-ARP qualifying populations. Agencies that must, at a minimum, be consulted include the Continuum of Care serving the jurisdiction’s geographic area, homeless and domestic violence service providers, veterans’ groups, public housing agencies (PHAs), public agencies that address fair housing, civil rights, and the needs or persons with disabilities.

HUD also requires that each Participating Jurisdiction provide opportunities for the public to comment on the proposed Allocation Plan, including the amount of HOME-ARP funds that will be received and the range of activities that the City may undertake.

To ensure broad input into the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan from stakeholders and the public, the City engaged in consultation with stakeholders and the public, including a virtual consultation session, a survey of stakeholders, a 30-day public comment period, and a public hearing.

Stakeholder Consultation
The City of Hawthorne consulted with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, addressing homelessness, and the provision of services to qualifying populations in preparing this HOME-ARP Allocation Plan.

A virtual session was held March 29. 2022. Representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations were invited via email to attend. Those unable to attend were invited to submit written comments via emails or schedule a phone call to share their thoughts.

The virtual consultation session included and overview of the HOME-ARP notice to inform attendees of the qualifying populations and eligible activities, an opportunity to ask clarifying questions, a request for input into needs and gaps, and priority populations and activities, and an overview of the Allocation Plan timeline and process.

A survey instrument was designed and available online and invited representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations to rank the qualifying populations and eligible activities and services in order of perceived need, and the best approach for carrying out those activities for the community.

CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 4 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the lead agency for the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC), held a virtual session to provide their recommendations to jurisdictions being allocated funds. That session was held February 6, 2022, and attended by staff and representatives of the City. LAHSA also provided a written memorandum outlining their HOME-ARP funding recommendations
The City’s virtual session was attended by 11 representatives of 10 agencies. The survey was completed by 10 representatives of 8 agencies. All HUD-required agency types were represented in either the virtual session or the online survey or by email.

Acquisition and development of non-congregate shelter. Many participants mention the need for shelter in general and for specific populations including families, those fleeing domestic violence and other situations, people with service animals, the elderly and single people.

Currently there are no emergency shelter beds in the City.

Tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA). In conjunction with affordable housing, many attendees mentioned the need to increase availability of the TBRA program and as a companion to the development of affordable housing.

Nonprofit capacity building and operating assistance. In the survey, respondents were asked if they believed there was a need for nonprofit capacity building and operating assistance.

Of the responses received, all responded affirmatively that there was a need in the nonprofit sector for operating assistance and 85% believed there was a need for capacity building.

In their memorandum and their agency sponsored virtual session, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) provided recommendations for the use of HOME-ARP funds within Los Angeles County. They advocated that a “balance of resources to within the homeless services system is critical to ensure effective operations” and recommend a ration of five permanent housing resources for every interim housing bed. That balance informs their recommendations:

1. Acquisition of permanent housing resources if other funds are available to leverage for the purchase of multi-unit buildings, scattered sites properties, or individual units.

2. Master leasing, which is not outlined in the HOME-ARP guidance but is being explored through conversations between LAHSA and HUD.

CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 7 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN

3. Supportive services that support emergency housing vouchers and services based in problem solving, prevention and diversion to prevent the need for interim housing or accessing the homeless services system.

Public Participation
To provide opportunities for public participation, the City of Hawthorne sent an email to all agencies and individuals on its email list notifying them of the opportunity to participate in the virtual consultation session to be held on March 29, 2022. In addition to attending the virtual consultation session, they were asked to complete an online survey regarding their views of the level of need for the eligible activities and qualifying populations as described by the CPD Notice 21-10. Those unable to attend, or who had further comments after the virtual session were invited to email them directly to City staff.

A combined notice of public comment period and public hearing was published in Hawthorne Press Tribune on April 28, 2022, May 5, 2022, May 12, 2022, and May 19, 2022. The Hawthorne Press Tribune qualifies as a newspaper of general circulation. The notice was published in both English and Spanish.

Efforts to Broaden Public Participation
To broaden public participation, members of the public who are on the City’s email list were also invited via email to attend the virtual consultation session held in the formulation of the Allocation Plan.

Public Comments and Recommendations Received
There were no public comments during the public comment period or at the public hearing.

Public Comments and Recommendations Not Accepted and Reasons Why There were no public comments during the public comment period or at the public hearing and therefore no public comments that were not accepted.

City Council Recommendations
After consideration by City Council, it voted to eliminate the allocation for non-congregate shelter that was proposed and increased the allocations for the other eligible activities.

CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 8 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis
The needs assessment and gap analysis must evaluate the size and demographic composition of HOME-ARP qualifying populations, and unmet needs of HOME-ARP qualifying populations. In addition, the needs assessment and gap analysis must identify any gaps within its current shelter and housing inventory, and service delivery system. This needs assessment and gap analysis focuses on the following:

1. Sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations;

2. Currently housed populations at risk of homelessness;

3. Other families requiring services or housing to prevent homelessness; and

4. Those at greatest risk of housing instability or unstable housing situations.

Housing Inventory Count
The annual Housing Inventory Count (HIC) provides useful context regarding the number and type of beds and units that are available for individuals and families experiencing on any given night. The following tables summarize beds and units available as of January 2021 in the City by bed type.

Emergency housing beds include emergency shelter and transitional housing; emergency shelter generally allows for short-term or nightly stays, while transitional housing generally allows for a stay up to 24 months. Both types of emergency housing may include supportive services designed to facilitate movement to independent living.

Size and Demographic Composition of Qualifying Populations Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there was no street count conducted in 2021 to identify unsheltered homeless populations. The January 2020 point-in-time (PIT) count of both sheltered and unsheltered homelessness published by Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the lead Continuum of Care agency, is used for this analysis.

Sheltered Homeless Populations
The 2020 sheltered point-in-time count identified 11 people experiencing sheltered homelessness in the City on January 22, 2020. People are considered sheltered when they are residing in emergency shelter or transitional housing, but not when they are receiving rapid rehousing assistance or residing in permanent supportive housing. Among individuals experiencing sheltered homelessness:
 11 (100%) were in transitional housing
LAHSA does the “official” PIT count in Los Angeles County and does not report demographics or family status.

Unsheltered Homeless Populations
The 2020 unsheltered point-in-time count identified 197 people experiencing unsheltered homelessness on January 22, 2020. Among individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness:
 77 (39.9%) were on the street
CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 10 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
 16.9 (8.76%) were in makeshift shelters
 51.2 (26.56%) were in cars
 39.7 (20.57%) were in vans
 6.6 (3.42%) were in RVs/campers
At-risk of Homelessness
Households at risk of homelessness are those with incomes at or below 30% AMI that lack sufficient resources or support networks to prevent homelessness, and  Have moved more than two times due to economic reasons in the past 60 days, or  Are doubled up with another household due to economic hardship, or  Will be evicted within 21 days, or
 Live in a hotel or motel without financial assistance from a nonprofit or government entity, or
 Live in an efficiency apartment and are overcrowded, or  Are exiting a publicly funded institution or system of care The HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) 2014-2018 data Table 10 provides information on overcrowding among households that include more than one family, by household income level. This CHAS data indicates that there are approximately 4,850 households with incomes at or below 30% AMI that are at risk of homelessness in the City.

Fleeing or Attempting to Flee Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking or Human Trafficking
The State of California Department of Justice maintains statistics on domestic violence statewide by jurisdiction. In 2020, the local law enforcement agencies responded to a total of 320 calls related to domestic violence. Of these calls:
 18 of these domestic incidents did not involve a weapon  302 calls involved a weapon
o 14 domestic incidents involved a firearm
o 23 domestic incidents involved a knife or cutting instruments o 34 domestic incidents involved other dangerous weapon o 231 domestic incidents involved personal weapons (i.e. feet or hands, etc.)  81 calls involved strangulation and suffocation
o 77 domestic incidents involved strangulation
o 4 domestic incidents involved suffocation
CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 11 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
Therefore, if each one of these calls represented a household with member(s) who required housing assistance, it can be estimated that there were up to 320 households in 2020 who were in need of some form of housing assistance. The form of housing assistance required may vary depending on the specific circumstances of each case.

Other Populations
Other populations, as defined by HOME-ARP, include those who:

1. Are currently housed and at risk of repeat homelessness;

2. Have incomes at or below 30% AMI and are experiencing severe housing cost burden; and

3. Otherwise meet the definition of at risk of homelessness and have incomes of more than 30% and at or below 50% AMI.

Other Populations: Currently housed and at risk of repeat homelessness The LAHSA PIT indicates the approximately 11% of individuals exiting emergency shelter, or transitional or permanent housing in any given year will return to homelessness within 12 months.

Other Populations: At greatest risk of housing instability – Households with incomes <30% AMI and experiencing severe housing cost burden The 2014-2019 HUD CHAS data indicates there are 4,850 renter households with an annual income at or below 30% AMI that are at greatest risk of housing instability.

These renter households include:
 Two-person households, one or both of whom are age 62 or older: 30  People living alone or with non-relatives who are age 62 or older: 100 Other Populations: At greatest risk of housing instability – Households with incomes 30-50% AMI that meet HUD’s §91.5 definition of at risk of homelessness
Households in this category are those with incomes more than 30% and at or below 50% AMI that lack sufficient resources or support networks to prevent homelessness, and  Have moved more than two times due to economic reasons in the past 60 days, or CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 12 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
 Are doubled up with another household due to economic hardship, or  Will be evicted within 21 days, or
 Live in a hotel or motel without financial assistance from a nonprofit or government entity, or
 Live in an efficiency apartment and are overcrowded, or  Are exiting a publicly funded institution or system of care HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) 2014-2018 data Table 10 provides information on households that include more than one family, household income level and overcrowding. The CHAS data indicates that there are approximately 4,695 renter households with incomes between 30 and 50 % AMI that are at risk of homelessness in the City because of at least one of the housing problems as defined by HUD. In addition, 230 are living in renter households with more than one family.

Unmet Housing Needs of Qualifying Populations
The greatest unmet housing need of qualifying populations is the availability of affordable rental housing. As the table below shows, only 4.5% of the more than 21,000 rental units in the City are available to households with incomes at or below 50% AMI. The level of need for affordable rental units for households with incomes at or below 50% AMI is more than 22 times the available units, according to HUD CHAS data for 2014-2018.

Unmet Service Needs of Qualifying Populations
Based on consultation with service providers in the City, the greatest unmet service needs of qualifying populations, including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations, currently housed populations at risk of homelessness, other families requiring services or assistance to prevent homelessness, and those at greatest risk of housing instability or in unstable housing situations are:
 mental health services
 landlord/tenant liaison services
CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 13 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
 housing search/counseling services
 childcare assistance
 financial assistance
Additional unmet service needs of qualifying populations, including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations, currently housed populations at risk of homelessness, other families requiring services or assistance to prevent homelessness, and those at greatest risk of housing instability or in unstable housing situations include the following as described in HUD CPD Notice 2021-10, as may be amended:

Current Resources Available to Assist Qualifying Populations Current available resources considered include:

1. Congregate beds and non-congregate shelter units;

2. Supportive services;

3. Tenant-base rental assistance; and

4. Affordable and permanent supportive housing
Current Resources: Congregate Beds and Non-congregate Shelter Units In January 2020, there were 11 congregate beds and no beds in non-congregate shelter units. Congregate beds include emergency, safe haven, and transitional housing beds and units. Non-congregate shelter includes permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing.

Current Resources: Supportive Services
The City is served by many local and regional organizations offering supportive services to the residents. The 2022-23 CDBG allocation will fund public service activities serving teens, domestic violence victims, and families experiencing homelessness.

CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 14 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
Current Resources: Tenant-Based Rental Assistance
Currently the City does not fund Tenant-Based Rental Assistance in the City. There are housing vouchers available through the Housing Choice Voucher Program and other programs offered in the region.

Current Resources: Affordable and Permanent Supportive Rental Housing The City sponsors 38 affordable housing units owned and managed by the City. Currently there is no permanent supportive housing in the City.

Current Resources: Housing Choice Vouchers
The City sponsors 1,160 Housing Choice Vouchers according to their website. Staff reports that there are currently 409 names on the waiting list, which dates back 15 years. The City recently purged 348 names from the list. Those purged can appeal and may be returned to the waiting list before July 30, 2022.

The Los Angeles County Development Authority sponsors more than 100,000 Housing Choice Vouchers. The waiting list is currently closed. Information about the size and age of the waiting list was not available via telephone or email to staff and is not available through their website or other public sources on the internet.

Shelter, Housing and Service Delivery System Gaps
Shelter Gap
There is an estimated need for 197 additional shelter beds based on the 2020 PIT count. The PIT count found that there were 11 persons in emergency shelter in the City but 197 unsheltered persons in a variety of situations, including on the street, in makeshift shelters, or in cars, vans or RVs/campers.

The 2020 PIT count does not define how many were individuals, in family units, or children.

Tenant-based Rental Assistance Gap
There is an estimated gap of 890 tenant-based rental assistance vouchers for households with income at or below 50% AMI and paying more than 50% of household income for rent, including utilities.

CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 15 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
The number of tenant-based rental assistance vouchers was calculated using HUD CHAS data Table 7 and is equal to the number of renter households with income at or below 50% AMI and paying more than 50% of household income for rent, including utilities.

There is an estimated gap of 3,860 rental units affordable to renter households with income at or below 30% AMI and an estimated gap of 1,775 rental units affordable to renter households with income more than 30% and at or below 50% AMI.

The number of Affordable Rental Units was calculated using HUD CHAS Data Table 7 and is equal to the number of renter households paying more than 50% of household income for rent, including utilities.

Total Affordable Rental Unit Need 890
According to the Southern California Association of Government’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for the 2021-2029 planning period, there is a need for 1,374 units of housing after adjustments for units just completed or being completed. That unit need includes 419 extremely-/very low-income units, 204 low-income units, and 232 moderateincome units.

Permanent supportive rental housing is a subset of the affordable rental housing gap, primarily for households with income at or below 30% AMI. In addition to affordable rent, permanent supportive housing provides an array of services necessary to help people with CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 16 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
disabilities and/or experiencing chronic homelessness to retain housing stability. There is an estimated gap of 280 permanent supportive housing units in the City.

The number of Permanent Supportive Rental Housing Units needed was calculated by multiplying the current population of the City, according to the California Census 2020, by the per capita need (.003182) as calculated by the Corporation for Supportive Housing.

Housing Voucher Gap
The City has 409 names on their waiting list with 348 possible names being returned to the list after a purge. It is reasonable to expect that the Los Angeles County Development Authority has those same names, and possible more. The gap in housing vouchers is at least 757 for the City, Service Delivery System Gap
To identify gaps in the service delivery system, the City relied on its consultation with stakeholders and experience working with the organizations working in the City. The stakeholders believe that the most critical service gaps are in the areas landlord/tenant liaison services, mental health services, financial assistance, transportation assistance, housing search/counseling services, and childcare assistance. The stakeholders also believed there was a need for assistance with general administrative costs and capacity building among the service providers serving the City’s qualifying populations.

Characteristics of Housing Associated with Increased Risk of Homelessness for Other Populations
For other populations, severe housing cost burden, or paying more than 50% of household income for rent and utilities is the primary characteristic of housing associated with the risk of homelessness in the City. The HUD CHAS Data Table 7 indicates there are 890 households at or below 50% AMI who are spending more than 50% of their household income on rent and utilities.

CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 17 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
Priority Needs for Qualifying Populations
Homeless. An article on the website policyadvice.net , The State of Homelessness in the US2022, uses PBS as a source for the following statistics:
 25% of homeless people have a mental illness
 38% have an alcohol abuse issue
 26% have a drug abuse issue
That information, and other research, indicates that there is a need for mental health services and substance abuse services for the homeless in the City. Participants in the consultation process believed that homelessness was best served by the development of additional shelter beds, affordable housing, and TBRA assistance for housing. The priority needs for supportive services included housing search, mental health services, financial assistance, and case management.

At risk of homelessness. One of the indicators of risk of homelessness is housing cost burden. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, in their State of Homelessness: 2021 Edition, households experiencing a severe housing cost burden and households “doubling up” or sharing housing are both at a greater risk of homelessness than they were in 2007. They used numbers from 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic and project that reduced work hours and elevated unemployment will have increased those at risk.

Participants in the consultation process believed those at risk of homelessness in the City would benefit from additional affordable housing, TBRA assistance for housing, and supportive services offering housing counseling, fair housing, credit repair services, and eviction defense.

Fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking. The National Resource Center on Domestic Violence reports that domestic violence is frequently an immediate cause or precursor to homelessness and housing instability and that more than a third of domestic violence survivors report becoming homeless immediately after separating from their partners. The national Institute of Justice reports that one homeless woman in four is homeless mainly because of her experiences with violence. That violence can include categories of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking.

Participants in the consultation process believed those dealing with fleeing unsafe relationships or living situations, would benefit from supportive services offering housing CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 18 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
counseling, mental health services, fair housing, case management services affordable housing and TBRA assistance.

Housing instability and homelessness prevention. Housing instability encompasses a number of challenges, such as having trouble paying rent, overcrowding, moving frequently, staying with friends or family, or rent burden. Those populations affected by housing instability can include children and people who have spent time in prison. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, those affected by housing instability may live in substandard housing subjecting them to health and safety risks, live in overcrowded units, or forced moves that may result in homelessness.

Participants in the consultation process believed that housing instability, often caused by rent burden, and preventing homelessness was best addressed with affordable rental housing, TBRA assistance, and supportive services including fair housing, housing counseling, credit repair services, and eviction defense.

CITY OF HAWTHORNE - 19 - HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN
HOME-ARP Activities
The City actively solicited applications from developers, service providers, and nonprofit organizations to administer eligible activities. To facilitate this process, the City issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), outlining the eligible activities, applicant criteria, funding parameters, and application guidelines. Despite these efforts, the City did not receive a response from any qualified subrecipients interested in implementing the TBRA program.

However, there were numerous qualified subrecipients proposing to provide supportive services tailored to the qualifying populations.

Regrettably, due to budget constraints, the City was unable to award funds to all deserving agencies. Additionally, it became apparent that the funds budgeted for nonprofit capacity building and operating assistance activities were not necessary for these well-established organizations. In light of these circumstances, the City recognizes the urgency of directing resources where they are most needed. Therefore, the City is proposing to revise its HOMEARP Allocation Plan to ensure that funds are effectively distributed to provide supportive services that benefit qualified populations in our community.

The City will not directly administer HOME-ARP activities beyond program administration and planning and no developers, service providers, and/or nonprofits are responsible for program administration and planning on behalf of the City.

Rationale for Uses of HOME-ARP Funding
Provision of supportive services. Many examples of supportive services were called out in the consultation process, both in the virtual session and in the survey where a prepared list was considered. This amended allocation plan allocates $1,841,694 towards supportive services. Providers have been identified through a NOFA process.

Admin and Planning. This plan allocates $325,004 towards the administration and planning functions of the HOME-ARP funds at the statutory limit.

HOME-ARP Housing Production Goals
The City does not plan to develop housing units with the funds allocated by this plan.

Preferences
The City of Hawthorne will not provide preferences to any population or subpopulation.

HOME-ARP Refinancing Guidelines
The City of Hawthorne does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds. Therefore, refinancing guidelines pursuant to 24 CFR 92.206(b) are not applicable to this HOME-ARP Allocation Plan.

City of Hawthorne - 1 - 24-25 Annual Action Plan
Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
On May 12, 2020, the Hawthorne City Council adopted the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, which described the City’s housing and community development needs, strategies, and activities to address those needs over a five-year period using entitlement grant funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 2024-2025 Action Plan is the fifth and final of five annual plans implementing the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals via the investment of annual allocations of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds from HUD. The Action Plan identifies available resources, annual goals, projects and activities for the period beginning July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025.

The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, awards grants and loans to non-profit, for-profit or public organizations for programs and projects in furtherance of this Plan. The CDBG and HOME programs generally provide for a wide range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income Hawthorne residents, as discussed below.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created the CDBG Program. The primary objective of the CDBG program is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income. The CDBG regulations require that each activity meet one (1) of the following national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons; or
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or • Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency (usually the result of a natural disaster).

Each year, the City certifies with the submission of its Annual Action Plan that it has given maximum feasible priority to activities which meet the first and second objectives above. Additionally, the City certifies that no less than 70 percent of the CDBG funds received, over a three-year certification period, will be designed to benefit low- and moderate-income persons.

HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program
The Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 created the HOME program to expand the supply of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households. Often used in partnership with local nonprofit housing development organizations, the HOME program can support a wide range of affordable City of Hawthorne - 2 - 24-25 Annual Action Plan
housing activities, including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating rental and ownership housing or providing direct rental assistance to low- and moderate-income people. 2024-2025 Program Year
As of the date of the preparation of this draft document, HUD has not yet released the 2024-2025 Annual Allocations. For this reason, HUD has advised the City to prepare this draft document utilizing the current year annual allocation and include language detailing the methodology by which the City will reallocate funds should the 2024-2025 annual allocation increase or decrease. During the 2024-2025 program year, the City anticipates it will receive approximately $1,215,028 of CDBG and $635,813 of HOME funds from HUD. The 2024-2025 Action Plan will invest the City’s current year CDBG and HOME allocations and $806,910.13 in prior year unprogrammed CDBG funds and $4,490,956.12 in prior year unprogrammed HOME funds to the following program activities to be implemented from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. 2024-2025 CDBG PROGRAM

Program Administration Activities
City of Hawthorne: HOME Program Administration $63,581.00 Sub-Total: $63,581.00
HOME TOTAL: $5,126,769.12
It is important to note that the proposed $1,600,000 of HOME funds for the Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resale (ARR) project will be utilized to leverage additional financing, primarily from the Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing) grant. In the event the City is not awarded the PRO Housing grant, a minor amendment will be completed to reprogram $800,000 from the ARR project to the ongoing Rental Rehabilitation project. Under this scenario, the revised ARR budget would be $800,000, and the revised Rental Rehabilitation project budget would be $3,440,781.12. This approach ensures strategic investment of funds in active projects to maximize positive community impacts.

In addition, the City is requesting up to $5,740,140 in Section 108 Loan Guarantee funds to assist with various public facility improvements. To facilitate a more streamlined process, the City is including the anticipated use of funds as part of this Action Plan. However, it should be noted that the following activities will only be carried out upon approval of the City’s Section 108 Loan application by HUD. 2024-2025 SECTION 108 LOAN PROGRAM

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan HUD’s Community Planning and Development (CPD) Outcome Performance Measurement Framework classifies objectives in three (3) categories: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunity. In consideration of community input as well as the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis, the Strategic Plan identifies eight (8) high priority needs to be addressed through the implementation of activities with seven (7) Strategic Plan goals.

City of Hawthorne - 5 - 24-25 Annual Action Plan
The high priority needs include:
• Preserve the supply of affordable housing
• Increase the supply of affordable housing for low-income individuals, families, persons with special needs and persons experiencing homelessness
• Public services for low-and moderate-income income residents • Ensure equal access to housing opportunities
• Improve public facilities and infrastructure
• Address material barriers to accessibility
• Response to COVID-19 Impact
• Promote economic opportunity
Consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG and HOME programs to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, the priority needs listed above will be addressed over the five year Consolidated Plan cycle through the implementation of CDBG and HOME funded activities aligned with the following measurable goals included in the Strategic Plan section of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.

3. Evaluation of past performance
The City is currently implementing the projects and activities included in the 2023-2024 Action Plan. As of this writing, all projects and activities are underway.

The investment of HUD resources during the 2022-2023 program year was a catalyst for positive change in the community. Together with other federal, state and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City and its partners to accomplish the following:
• Affordable Housing Preservation: The City of Hawthorne Housing Rehabilitation Program completed four (4) housing rehabilitation projects to address deficient housing conditions and preserve the existing housing stock that is affordable to low- and moderate-income homeowners. • Fair Housing Services: The Fair Housing Foundation provided 232 Hawthorne residents with fair housing and landlord-tenant mediation services.
• Public Services: Three (3) non-profit organizations provided a range of services to Hawthorne residents including but not limited to providing after-school enrichment activities for 137 low- and moderate-income school children, case management and emergency assistance to 164 extremely low- and low-income residents, and domestic violence services for 35 Hawthorne residents. • Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements: The City of Hawthorne continued repayment of its Section 108 Loan.
• COVID-19 Response: CDBG-CV funds were used to address housing and economic development needs of Hawthorne residents. The housing component of these activities included short-term rental and utility assistance to 123 income eligible households. The economic development components included financial assistance in the form of grants to 2 small businesses and 6 microenterprises.

Lastly, the City included a homelessness component to provide transitional housing for 12 homeless residents.

While the City and local partners were able to successfully implement the activities listed above, there were insufficient resources to fully address the level of need identified in the last Consolidated Plan.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process The Consolidated Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91 provide the citizen participation and consultation requirements for the development of the Consolidated Plan. Chief among those requirements is the need to consult with the Continuum of Care (CoC) to address homelessness, Public Housing Authorities (PHA), business leaders, civic leaders and public or private agencies that address housing, health, social service, survivor services, employment, or education needs of low-income individuals and families, homeless individuals and families, youth and/or other persons with special needs. This qualitative input was combined with a quantitative analysis of demographic, housing and socioeconomic data to develop the strategic plan that reflects the housing, community and economic development needs and priorities for the City of Hawthorne during the Five-Year Consolidated Plan cycle.

In accordance with the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan, residents and stakeholders were able to participate in the development process through surveys, community meetings and public hearings. Efforts City of Hawthorne - 7 - 24-25 Annual Action Plan
were made to encourage participation by low- and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderateincome neighborhoods. Efforts were made to encourage the participation of minorities and non-English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. The consultation process included representatives of the CoC, PHA, and other specified groups who completed surveys, provided local data, and assisted the City to ensure practical coordination of strategies to maximize impact and to avoid duplication of effort.

To satisfy the federal requirements at 24 CFR 91.105(e)(1)(ii), the City held two public hearings to obtain residents’ views on housing and community development needs, development of proposed activities, proposed strategies and actions for affirmatively furthering fair housing, and a review of program performance. The City of Hawthorne convened the first public hearing on September 12, 2023, to receive comments regarding program performance. A draft of the 2022-2023 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) was made available for public review and comment from August 24, 2023 to September 12, 2023. No public comments were received.

Subsequently, the City made the draft 2024-2025 Action Plan available for public review and comment from March 21, 2024 to April 23, 2024. Residents were invited to review the draft Action Plan and to attend the second Public Hearing on April 23, 2024, or submit written comments concerning the housing and community development needs, proposed projects and activities in the Action Plan, as well as proposed strategies and actions for affirmatively furthering fair housing.

During the development of the 2024-2025 Action Plan, the City solicited applications from various non-profit organizations and City Departments for the provision of fair housing services, public services and community and economic development projects. Applications received by the January 26, 2024 deadline were evaluated for eligibility and funding recommendations.

5. Summary of public comments
As required by HUD regulations, all comments received, and responses to said comments by the City are summarized in section AP-12 of this Action Plan.

6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them All comments and views received by the City in the development of the Action Plan were accepted and taken into consideration in the development of the Action Plan.

7. Summary
The 2024-2025 Action Plan addresses four (4) of the seven (7) Strategic Plan Goals from the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan by allocating a total of $2,021,938.13 in CDBG funds and $5,126,769.12 of HOME funds towards eligible activities that are to be implemented from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Activities submitted for consideration in response to any solicitation of Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process must conform with one (1) of the seven (7) Strategic Plan strategies and the associated action-oriented, measurable goals to be considered to receive CDBG or HOME funds.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction
The City of Hawthorne consulted with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, creation of job opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, and/or provision of services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following methods:
• Survey of residents and stakeholders (web-based and paper surveys) • Individual stakeholder consultations
• Community meetings
• Community events
• Public hearings
• Receipt of written comments
To gather the greatest breadth and depth of information, the City consulted with a wide variety of agencies, groups and organizations concerning the housing, community and economic development needs of the community. Each of the agencies, groups or organizations invited to consult and participate in the planning process is represented in Table 3. The input received from these consultations helped establish and inform the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan. The City also provided each agency with an opportunity to comment on the draft 2024-2025 Action Plan during the public review and comment period.

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

The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of their programs. As a result, during the development of this Consolidated Plan, the City consulted closely with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community-focused agencies. Outreach efforts included surveys including specific questions associated with coordination, invitations to community meetings and follow-up in-person interviews where appropriate.

The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the preparation of the 2024-2025 Action Plan with these organizations and agencies. The City will reinforce these partnerships through the implementation of the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process for CDBG funds each year and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients.

City of Hawthorne - 10 - 24-25 Annual Action Plan
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness Los Angeles County’s homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) is comprised of a network of public, private, faithbased, for-profit, and non-profit service providers who utilize several federal, state and local resources to provide services for homeless people. The region’s municipalities, including the City of Hawthorne, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. The nonprofit and faith-based community plays a key role in the current CoC system. Hundreds of agencies throughout the County provide programs ranging from feeding the homeless on the street to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are available to homeless families with children, and single men and women. The non-profit and faith-based community also serves special needs populations, such as victims of domestic violence, veterans, the disabled and youth.

The CoC guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. The City provided a detailed questionnaire to the CoC to identify the CoC’s perceived needs in the county and its objectives to address the needs of different homeless persons populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth and persons at risk of homelessness. Following the delivery and response to this questionnaire, the City followed up with the CoC to clarify existing needs and objectives and understand opportunities for collaboration and coordination during the five-year planning process.

To address the City’s homeless population, the City utilizes CDBG funds to provide public and supportive services to prevent homelessness and/or aid those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Homeless supportive and prevention services funded through the City’s 2024-2025 CDBG program include:
• Family Promise of the South Bay (FPOSB) – Provides shelter (transitional housing) and case management for individuals experiencing homelessness.
• New Star Family Center (NSFC) – Provides case management, education, counseling and legal services to survivors of domestic violence who are at risk of homelessness. • The Richstone Family Center (RFC) – Provides behavioral health services to families affected by domestic violence who are at risk of homelessness.
• Catholic Charities of Los Angeles (CCLA) – Provides emergency housing and utility assistance to low-income Hawthorne residents.
• Fair Housing Foundation (FHF) – Addresses fair housing mediation and landlord-tenant dispute resolution services, which helps prevent homelessness.

Table 4 - Other local / regional / federal planning efforts Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(l)) To enhance coordination among the CoC, public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies, the City invited each of these entities to provide input on the needs of the community in the development of this Consolidated Plan.

The Housing Department works with subrecipients of CDBG funds to ensure a coordinated effort among service agencies in the region to address the needs of Hawthorne residents, including but not limited to chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, unaccompanied youth, and persons who were recently homeless but now live in permanent housing. To promote economic opportunities for low-income residents, the City coordinates with subrecipient social service agencies, businesses and housing developers to ensure that where there are job opportunities for low-income people in connection with HUD-assisted projects, information is disseminated through appropriate channels consistent with the objectives of Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1968.

Narrative
Broadband
Throughout the City of Hawthorne, residents have consistent and multiple options to access broadband, high-speed internet. For broadband download speeds of 25 megabytes per second (mbps), 100% of residents are serviced by at least three internet service providers. For download speeds of 100 mbps, 71% of residents are serviced by two internet service providers and 28% of residents are serviced by one provider.

City of Hawthorne - 18 - 24-25 Annual Action Plan
According to broadbandnow, the average download speed in Hawthorne is 70.91 mbps which is 119.3% faster than the average internet speed in California.

Hawthorne complies with HUD’s Narrowing the Digital Divide Through Installation of Broadband Infrastructure in HUD-Funded New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation of Multifamily Rental Housing (81 FR 92626) rule (effective January 19, 2017). Through this rule, all new HUD-funded multi-family construction or substantial rehabilitation has included broadband infrastructure including cables, fiber optics, wiring and wireless connectivity to ensure that each unit has the infrastructure to achieve at least 25 mbps download and 3 mbps upload speeds.

Throughout the city, residents are serviced by two, oftentimes at least three internet service providers who offer high speed internet. The three primary service providers in Hawthorne are Spectrum, ATT and Earthlink. While broadband is available through multiple providers, residents who participated in the community outreach survey, identified that access to broadband was the highest public infrastructure need in Hawthorne. Of those who participated in the community outreach survey, 87% indicated that they had access to broadband internet.

Resilience
The City prepared its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) in coordination with other City departments, community stakeholders, partner jurisdictions, agencies, and organizations, and members of the public. The purpose of the LHMP is to focus on optimizing the mitigation phase of harm caused by a disaster. Mitigation involves making a community more resilient so that when hazard events do ultimately occur, the community suffers less damage and can recover more quickly and effectively. It differs from preparedness, which involves advanced planning for how to best respond when a disaster occurs or is imminent. The following new key goals were identified through consultation to increase resiliency:
• Protect life, property, and reduce potential injuries from natural caused hazards. • Improve public understanding, support, and need for hazard mitigation measures. • Promote disaster resistance for Hawthorne’s natural, existing, and future built environment. • Strengthen partnerships and collaboration to implement hazard mitigation activities. • Enhance the City’s ability to effectively and immediately respond to disasters.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation The City established and followed a process for the development of this five-year Consolidated Plan that included broad participation from the community. These activities were coordinated and implemented by the Housing Department.

To assist in the identification of priority needs in the City, a survey was prepared and distributed to residents of the City to solicit resident input in the prioritization of needs related to community services, community facilities, infrastructure, neighborhood services, special needs services, businesses and jobs, and housing.

The surveys were available online and also were made available at various public facilities.

Two (2) community meetings to discuss the housing and community development needs in the community were held on September 26, 2019 and October 19, 2019. At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low- and moderate-income residents, members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved.

To satisfy the federal requirements at 24 CFR 91.105(e)(1)(ii), the City held two (2) public hearings to obtain residents’ views on housing and community development needs, development of proposed activities, proposed strategies and actions for affirmatively furthering fair housing, and a review of program performance. The City of Hawthorne convened the first public hearing on September 12, 2023, to receive comments regarding program performance. A draft of the 2022-2023 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) was made available for public review and comment from August 24, 2023 to September 12, 2023. No public comments were received.

The City made the draft 2024-2025 Action Plan available for public review and comment from March 21, 2024 to April 23, 2024. Residents were invited to review the draft Action Plan and to attend the Public Hearing on April 23, 2024, or submit written comments concerning the housing and community development needs, proposed projects and activities in the Action Plan, as well as proposed strategies and actions for affirmatively furthering fair housing.

During the development of the 2024-2025 Action Plan, the City solicited applications from various non-profit organizations and City Departments for the provision of fair housing services, public services and community and economic development projects. Applications received by the January 26, 2024 deadline were evaluated for eligibility and funding recommendations.

City of Hawthorne - 25 - 24-25 Annual Action Plan
Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The projects and activities included in the 2024-2025 Action Plan are based on resources that are reasonably anticipated to be available to the City from federal, state, local and private sources from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. The actual resources available to support activities during the implementation of the remainder of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan may vary significantly due to factors outside of the City’s control. For example, HUD formula grant allocations are subject to change each year based on several factors such as the amount of the national appropriation, changes in ACS population data applied to the CPD grant formulas, statutory changes to the CPD grant formulas, the addition or removal of entitlements receiving a particular CPD grant and the availability of reallocated funds. Additionally, state, local and private resources will vary significantly depending on the economic conditions.

For the 2024-2025 Program Year, the City anticipates it will receive $1,215,028 in CDBG and $635,813 in HOME funds. In addition, the City will be reallocating $806,910.13 in prior year unprogrammed CDBG funds and $4,490,956.12 in prior year unprogrammed HOME funds during the 2024-2025 program year.

Table 6 - Expected Resources – Priority Table
City of Hawthorne - 27 - 24-25 Annual Action Plan
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied As a City with substantial housing and community development needs, Hawthorne needs to leverage its CDBG and HOME entitlement grants with a variety of funding resources in order to maximize the effectiveness of available funds. The City’s former Redevelopment Agency was the City’s primary non-federal source of leveraged funds. With the elimination of the City’s Redevelopment Agency, the City’s ability to leverage federal funds has been substantially reduced. The City is currently seeking new opportunities to leverage federal funds, such as the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Project Funds (CPF) and 811 for the Elderly Program.

Since the initial planning and programming of these resources, the Housing Department has worked closely with other City departments as well as County, State, and Federal partners to identify other available resources authorized through the CARES Act, ARP Act, the Small Business Administration (SBA), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that may be leveraged to maximize the impact of the CDBG and HOME resources.

Federal Resources
• Continuum of Care (CoC) Program
• HUD Veterans Affairs supportive Housing (HUD-VASH)
• Supportive Housing for the Elderly (Section 202)
• Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) • Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
• Youthbuild
• Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program
• HUD Community Project Funding (CPF)
State Resources
• State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program
• Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN) • CalHome Program
• Multifamily Housing Program (MHP)
• Housing Related Parks Grant
• CalHFA Single and Multi-Family Program
• Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding
• State Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA)
Local Resources
• Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA)
• Los Angeles County Development Agency (LACDA)
City of Hawthorne - 28 - 24-25 Annual Action Plan
• Los Angeles County Community Development Commission (LACDC) • Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA) Funding Private Resources
• Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP) • Community Reinvestment Act Programs
• United Way Funding
• Private Contributions
HOME Matching Requirements
HUD requires HOME Participating Jurisdictions (PJ’s) to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation.

In accordance with 24 CFR 92.222, PJ’s satisfying the distress criteria established by the HOME Program regulations are provided a match reduction. As of November 2023, City of Hawthorne received a match reduction from HUD, and therefore, is required to match 12.5% of HOME Funds using non-federal funds. The City of Hawthorne leverages HOME funds with other local and private non-federal resources.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
In December 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26, which barred Redevelopment Agencies from engaging in new business and provided for their windup and dissolution. In the last five years, the elimination of the Redevelopment Agencies has resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This was the most significant public policy change impacting affordable housing and residential investment. While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets are tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies (Successor Agencies) that may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce.

As such, any land or property necessary to address the needs in the Consolidated Plan would need to be acquired using HUD grant funds or other local resources.

Discussion
During the 2024-2025 program year, the City anticipates that these funds will be leveraged with other public and private funding. Along with leveraged dollars, the City expects to spend approximately $1,215,028 of CDBG and $635,813 of HOME funds during the program year on public services, housing development, and public facility and infrastructure improvement activities that promote a suitable living environment and decent housing.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its CDBG funds (excluding Section 108 loan repayment and CDBG administration) as well as HOME funds for 2024-2025 projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people. Due to the nature of the projects and activities to be undertaken, investments in public service activities may be limited to the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas while other activities benefit low- and moderate-income limited clientele and are available citywide.

The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to lowincome people and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG and HOME funds through the 2024-2025 Action Plan in projects that develop and preserve affordable housing, provide public services to low- and moderateincome residents, and improve public facilities and infrastructure.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
Assistance will be primarily directed to activities that serve low- and moderate-income residents. During the 2024-2025 program year, three (3) public facility and infrastructure projects and one (1) public service activity rely on the established low- and moderate-income area.

The low- and moderate-income census tract/block groups are shown on the map included in Section NA-10 of the Consolidated Plan and Appendix B of this Action Plan. According to data from the 2011-2015 American City of Hawthorne - 35 - 24-25 Annual Action Plan
Community Survey (ACS) provided in HUD’s eCon Planning Suite, a total of 86,440 residents live in these Census Tract Block Groups, of which 62,945 or 73% are predominantly comprised of members of low- and moderate-income households. Based on available data and mapping, the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas are primarily Hispanic.

Table 9 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically For the 2024-2025 program year, the City will invest $1,215,028 of CDBG funds and $635,813 of HOME funds for a total of $1,850,841 that will benefit low- and moderate-income people throughout the City. Of this amount, $96,150, or 8 percent, of all resources will be invested in public service activities that exclusively benefits residents of the L/M Income Census Tract/Block Groups. Due to the nature of the projects and activities to be undertaken, investments in activities such as the Teen Center are generally limited to the eligible low- and moderate-income areas, while other projects and activities that benefit low- and moderateincome limited clientele are available citywide.

The City has applied for a Section 108 Loan that will result in an investment of $5,740,140 towards four (4) public facility and infrastructure improvement projects. Of this amount, $2,440,140, or 43 percent, of all Section 108 resources will be invested in three (3) public facility improvement projects that exclusively benefit residents of the L/M Income Census Tract/Block Groups. Due to the nature of these projects, investments in activities such as the Ramona Park, Jim Thorpe Park, and Eucalyptus Park are generally limited to the eligible low- and moderate-income areas, while other projects such as the Senior Center are available to elderly residents citywide.

Discussion
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its CDBG funds (excluding Section 108 loan repayment and CDBG administration) as well as HOME funds for program year 2024-2025 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people.

City of Hawthorne - 36 - 24-25 Annual Action Plan
Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
Two high priority affordable housing needs are identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and two Strategic Plan goals are established to provide the framework necessary to invest CDBG and HOME funds to address the affordable housing needs of the City.

Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing
Based on evaluation of 2011-2015 ACS and CHAS data, there is a high need for housing units affordable for households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. Of the 19,050 households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City, 13,578 are cost burdened households—meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Additionally, 7,199 of the cost burdened households are considered severely cost burdened households—meaning that they pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Of the 7,199 severely cost burdened households, 5,850 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 5,690 households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless.

Preserve the Supply of Affordable Housing
As the City's housing stock ages, a growing percentage of housing units may need rehabilitation to allow them to remain safe and habitable. The situation is of particular concern for low- and moderate-income homeowners who are generally not in a financial position to properly maintain their homes.

The age and condition of Hawthorne’s housing stock is an important indicator of potential rehabilitation needs. Commonly, housing over 30 years of age needs some form of major rehabilitation, such as roof replacement, foundation work and plumbing systems. Housing over 15 years of age will generally exhibit deficiencies in terms of paint, weatherization, heating / air-conditioning systems, hot water heaters and finish plumbing fixtures.

According to CHAS data showing the year that housing units were built categorized by owner and renter tenure:
• 5,900 or 76 percent of the 7,735 owner-occupied housing units in Hawthorne were built 40 or more years ago (built prior to 1980)

City of Hawthorne - 37 - 24-25 Annual Action Plan
Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and moderateincome households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate-income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities provide that all economic segments of the community have the means to ensure that their property meets local standards and that all Hawthorne residents have the opportunity to live in decent housing.
