AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
CITY OF HAWTHORNE
City Council
AGENDA BILL
For the meeting of 04/28/2026
Originating Department: Public Works
City Manager: Department Head:
SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION NO. 8597 - 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 2026-2027 AS REQUIRED BY THE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE SECTION 22622.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve this Resolution No. 8597.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Hawthorne operates its Street Lighting District under the State Street Lighting Act of 1972.
Under this act, the City assesses 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 53 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 2026-2027 Fiscal Year.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN:
This service aligns with the City's Economic Development Element goal of enhancing the quality of life in the City, which is an important marketing asset for business attraction and making economic development a part of City decisions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
NOTICING PROCEDURE:
72 Hours posted notice pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act.

About the Active Transportation Plan
As cities throughout California begin to embrace a future where active transportation is just as important—if not more—than automobile travel, the City of Hawthorne recognizes its need to both keep pace with and act as a model for surrounding cities.
This Active Transportation Plan (ATP) provides a clear and comprehensive blueprint for the City to develop safer, more convenient transit and non-motorized transportation options to serve all visitors and residents. This ATP will serve as the master plan and policy document to guide development and maintenance of active transportation infrastructure, including sidewalks, bikeways, and Safe Routes to School programs within the City. This Plan builds upon the work conducted in prior planning efforts, including the City’s Safety Action Plan, Downtown Hawthorne Specific Plan, Green Line Mixed-Use Specific Plan, and the Crenshaw Station Active Transportation Plan, Neighborhood Electric and Vehicle Strategies, and Overlay Zone.
The Active Transportation Plan envisions Hawthorne as an active transportation-friendly city where people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds can safely and comfortably travel by foot, bicycle, and other active modes, reaching all destinations in the City through a well-connected active transportation network.
City of Hawthorne
Active Transportation Plan 5
The ATP contains the following sections:
Chapter 1: Introduction: Chapter 1 provides relevant background information for the City, including a demographic breakdown and a summary of relevant planning documents and efforts at the local, regional, and state levels.
Chapter 2: Vision and Goals: This chapter provides the overarching vision and theme for the ATP and provides metrics by which the City can measure their success in implementing this Plan.
Chapter 3: Existing Conditions: The existing conditions chapter sets the stage upon which the proposals were designed and built. The chapter defines and provides an in-depth breakdown of existing pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure in the city, including bikeway types, bicycle parking, sidewalk coverage, and pedestrian crossings. A detailed, location-specific safety analysis for pedestrian- and bicycle-involved collisions for the 5-year period between September 2020 and August 2025 showcases the priority areas needing improvements and behaviors that contribute to collisions. This is followed up with a mode-share analysis, a breakdown of active transportation destinations for Hawthorne, and an equity analysis.
Chapter 4: Community Outreach: This chapter presents the results of the extensive outreach effort conducted to advertise the Plan, learn about the needs of the community, and to provide residents and visitors with the opportunity to provide input and shape the Plan’s recommendations. This effort included three in-person tabling events, social media posts and advertising, and an interactive website dedicated to the plan and collecting surveys and location-specific feedback.
Chapter 5: Recommendations: Using the data and input collected for the prior sections, this chapter presents recommendations to improve both the bicycling, pedestrian, and overall micromobility network. This ranges from proposals for location-specific projects—such as upgraded or new bike lanes, pedestrian crossings, sidewalk improvements, and more—to policy and programmatic improvements—such as a traffic calming toolkit for active transportation improvements on slower corridors and other methods for maintaining safe, comfortable pedestrian infrastructure.
These recommendations are extensively mapped and described in this section.
Chapter 6: Implementation Plan: Chapter 6 establishes scoring criteria and methodology upon which the proposed projects are prioritized— including details about per-project cost estimates—and needs based on proximity to different activity centers in the city. It also provides a summary of applicable grant funding sources that the City may apply for, along with a plan for bikeway maintenance.

11 2. Relevant Plans and Documents
This section presents a review of relevant local, regional, and statewide planning and policy documents. These documents provide important context and guidance for the recommendations in this plan by ensuring they align with previous proposals and broader active transportation initiatives at multiple levels of government. Collectively, the below documents emphasize the need to reduce automobile dependence and expand options for active transportation modes through a combination of policy and infrastructure initiatives.
2.1. City of
Hawthorne Plans
City of Hawthorne General Plan -
Circulation Element (1990)
The Circulation Element of the City of
Hawthorne General Plan (1990) outlines
the city’s transportation network, identifies
existing issues, and establishes long-range
policies to address them. The Circulation
Element recognizes that changing lifestyles,
economic pressures, and increasing social and
environmental concerns have heightened the
need for alternatives to automobile travel. It
also emphasizes the City’s goal of addressing
conflicts between motorists and pedestrians
on major roadways during peak hours.
The Circulation Element includes provisions
for improving bicycle circulation, including
the then-recently approved extension of the
Dominguez Flood Channel bikeway. While
noting that the City Council had adopted
bikeway plans that utilize drainage and power
line rights-of-way, the Circulation Element also
states that bicycle infrastructure has been
limited due to them using “sorely needed space
for moving higher person occupancy vehicles”.
The Circulation Element was most recently
supplemented by the 2015 Crenshaw Station
Area Active Transportation Plan, Strategies,
and Overlay Zone, which is discussed further in
a subsequent section.
City of Hawthorne Safety Action
Plan (2025)
The City of Hawthorne Safety Action Plan
(SAP), finalized in April 2025, was funded by the
Federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
program and presents a comprehensive,
citywide framework to improve road safety
for users of all travel modes. The SAP aims to
increase awareness of road safety and risks,
reduce the number of fatal and severe-injury
crashes, develop lasting partnerships, provide
support for grant/funding applications, and
prioritize investments in safety throughout
the city. The plan was developed following the
Safe System Approach, which combines crash
analyses, community feedback, and equitydriven priorities to identify high-injury corridors and intersections, primary collision factors, and
systemic and specific safety needs. The SAP
outlines targeted
strategies, such as intersection and corridor
redesigns and pedestrian, bicycle, and transit
safety improvements, along with education
and enforcement initiatives to encourage longterm changes in behavior.

Active Transportation Plan
12 Downtown Hawthorne Specific Plan
(2016)
The Downtown Hawthorne Specific Plan (2016) covers
a study area including the Hawthorne Boulevard
corridor from I-105 on the north side of the City to the south side, as well as several city blocks and parallel streets to each side of the corridor. The Specific
Plan focuses on creating a walkable, bikeable, and a
transit-oriented downtown by redesigning Hawthorne
Boulevard with wider sidewalks, protected bike lanes,
and improved bus stops. The plan highlights safety,
health, and connectivity, and promotes mixed-use,
pedestrian-oriented development that supports
everyday active transportation and reduces car
dependence altogether.
Green Line Mixed-Use Specific Plan
(GLMUSP)
The Green Line Mixed-Use Specific Plan (2017)
promotes a compact, transit-oriented district
centered on the Metro Green Line Crenshaw Station.
It encourages walking and biking through widened
sidewalks, public plazas, and secure bike parking. The
plan also utilizes transit incentives such as free Metro passes and Zipcar memberships. The GLMUSP aims
to achieve lower rates of car dependency and create
a more connected, livable community by integrating
dense, mixed-use development that exhibits strong
pedestrian connections.
Crenshaw Station Active
Transportation Plan
The Crenshaw Station Active Transportation Plan,
Neighborhood Electric and Electric Vehicle Strategies,
and Overlay Zone (2015) supplements the Circulation
Element. It aims to facilitate and encourage the use
of non-carbon emitting modes of travel in the area
surrounding the Crenshaw Boulevard Metro Station,
covering an approximately 3-mile radius.

2.2. Regional Plans
LA County Bicycle Master Plan
Update
The LA County Bicycle Master Plan, which was
originally adopted in 2012, was developed
to expand the bicycle network and adopt
bicycle-friendly policies within unincorporated
Los Angeles County. The plan aims to pursue
changes that prioritize safety, equity, mobility,
and accountability for users and the County. As
of this writing, the County is drafting an update
to the plan that it aims to complete in 2026.
The updated plan re-examines the feasibility
of unbuilt bikeways from the prior plan,
incorporates changes in best practice, includes
policies for sharing bicycle facilities with other
micromobility modes, and focuses on first/last
mile improvements to supplement transit and
bus services. Both the 2012 and draft updates
include bicycle facilities that connect to the
boundaries of the City of Hawthorne, presenting
opportunities for interjurisdictional collaboration
and network continuity.
SCAG 2040 Regional
Transportation Plan
The Southern California Association of Governments
(SCAG) 2040 RTP guides long-term transportation
and land use investments across Los Angeles, Orange,
Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, and Imperial
Counties. The plan outlines investments of $556 billion through 2040 aimed at modernizing and expanding
the region’s multimodal network while meeting the
greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals outlined
in Senate Bill 375. It promotes compact, walkable,
and transit-oriented development, expands public
transit and active transportation, and strengthens
the resiliency of transportation infrastructure. Overall, the RTP is designed to encourage mobility, economic
growth, and environmental sustainability across
Southern California. Exhibit 4. Excerpt from the LA County Bicycle Plan (2012) showing proposed facilities in and around Hawthorne City of Hawthorne

Plan
Caltrans to follow the Safe Streets Approach
and incorporate walking and bicycling
infrastructure into all corridor planning
stages. Its priorities include closing network
gaps, improving first- and last-mile transit
connections, and implementing Complete
Streets designs that enhance safety and
accessibility, while promoting lower emissions
and higher levels of connectivity.
California Transportation Plan
2050
The California Transportation Plan 2050 directs
agencies to meet statewide climate, equity, and
safety goals by expanding access to safe and
convenient active transportation options. The
plan emphasizes the importance of multimodal
networks in making active transportation viable
and accessible for all Californians.
Climate Action Plan for
Transportation Infrastructure
(CAPTI 2.0)
CAPTI 2.0 (finalized in 2025) prioritizes active
transportation as a key strategy for reducing
emissions and vehicle miles traveled. Through
programs like the Active Transportation
Program (ATP), it expands investments in
walking, biking, and Safe Routes to School, while
focusing on safety and equity in disadvantaged
communities. By promoting complete streets
and multimodal corridors, CAPTI 2.0 advances
a more sustainable, low-carbon, and peoplefocused transportation system.
California State Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan (2017)
The “Toward an Active California” (2017) plan
established walking, biking, and transit as
central elements of the state’s transportation
vision. The plan set a goal to double walking
and
transit trips, and triple bicycling trips, by 2020. It
aims to increase safety, equity, and connectivity
through methods such as complete streets,
safer crossings, and integrated multimodal
networks. The plan focuses on people-centered
corridors, improved local street design, and
community partnerships as vital components of
the plan’s initiatives to expand safe, accessible,
and sustainable transportation options.

17 3. Existing Pedestrian Facilities
This section contains an overview of existing conditions, facilities, and policies for pedestrians in the City of Hawthorne.
3.1. Sidewalk
Network
The City of Hawthorne has an extensive
network of sidewalks and crosswalks, including
approximately 175 miles of paved sidewalks. Of
these, about 90 miles include a buffer between
the clear zone and the curb (e.g., landscaping,
utilities), as illustrated in Exhibit 9, while
approximately 84 miles have no buffer and are
directly adjacent to the curb. Exhibit 5 provides
a citywide breakdown of sidewalk conditions,
while Exhibit 6 offers a more detailed analysis of
locations with missing sidewalks or substandard
widths (less than four feet). A citywide map of
the sidewalk network is presented in Exhibit 7.

Active Transportation Plan 19
The City of Hawthorne has near-universal
sidewalk coverage, with very few sidewalk
gaps (as shown in Exhibit 7). Most sidewalks
have adequate clear width, and approximately
half of the sidewalk network has a buffer zone
between the sidewalk and the street (a typical
example is shown in Exhibit 8). However, there
are some locations with substandard sidewalk
conditions, including inadequate sidewalk
width, improperly placed street trees and utility
infrastructure (fire hydrants, utility poles and
boxes, traffic signs, etc.) impeding the clear
zone, cracked or uprooted pavers, improperly
parked vehicles, or bulk trash items blocking
the right of way. Some examples of these issues
are shown in Exhibit 9.

Exhibit 8. Example of a buffered sidewalk
City of Hawthorne
Active Transportation Plan 20
3.2. Crosswalks and
Other Facilities
The city has a large network of pedestrian
crossings — particularly on major boulevards
and around schools and other recreation
facilities. A map of marked crossings, including
those at signalized intersections, is shown in
Exhibit 13. The city utilizes multiple crosswalk
designs, including standard, ladder, and
brick overlay (shown in Exhibit 10). There are
also multiple decorated crosswalks along
Hawthorne Boulevard in the downtown area.
Multiple corridors in the city suffer from large
gaps between crossings, requiring pedestrians
to travel extra distance to safely cross certain
major streets. Several crosswalks also have
faded or cracked striping, making them more
difficult for drivers to see. Other issues facing
pedestrians in the city at multiple locations
include confusing signage at intersections, long
waits for crossing signal phases, and/or a lack
of crossing countdowns on some signals. One
example of an area with a mix of proper and
deficient design elements is the crossing on
Hawthorne Boulevard shown in Exhibit 10. The
crossing benefits pedestrians by increasing
visibility with the pedestrian signage and
beacons, clearly delineates the crosswalk using
different materials, and has a median refuge
island. Conversely, the crosswalk contains
confusing design elements such as signage
instructing pedestrians to “avoid peak hours”.
This both discourages pedestrians who wish
to use the crossing at the times they’d be most
likely to use it and prioritizes automobile traffic.
Exhibit 10. Mid-block crossing on Hawthorne Blvd with “peak hour” signage City of Hawthorne
Active Transportation Plan
21 The city also utilizes other speed control devices
and methods to provide a safer environment
for pedestrians and cyclists. As shown in Exhibit
11, the city has installed dynamic radar signs in
certain areas to encourage drivers to follow the
speed limit.
At several crossings at wider areas along
Hawthorne Blvd, the city has programmed
signals to provide a “leading pedestrian
interval” (LPI), which allows pedestrians to
enter the street three to five seconds before
the traffic signals turn green. This allows
pedestrians to enter the crosswalk earlier,
improving their visibility to drivers before
vehicles can proceed. There are also multiple
locations with accessible pedestrian signals
(APS) (example shown in Exhibit 11). These
crossings are designed to better accommodate
pedestrians with disabilities by allowing users
to activate the signal by either waving at or
pressing the crossing button, and provide
audible cues indicating when it is safe to cross
and how much time remains. In some cases,
the signals also emit a persistent audible tone
to alert visually impaired pedestrians to the
presence of a crossing.
In response to resident concerns about speeding vehicles, the City adopted a speed hump policy, whereby schools or residents can petition the City to install speed humps in their neighborhoods.
An example of one of these speed humps is shown in Exhibit 11, with a breakdown of the process for requesting speed humps shown in Exhibit 12.
Exhibit 11. Safety devices in Hawthorne: accessible pedestrian signal (left); dynamic radar sign (center); speed hump (right) Exhibit 12. Speed hump policy petition process

3.3. Pedestrian
Collision Analysis
This section contains an analysis of pedestrianinvolved collisions over a 5-year period (September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2025).
Collision data for the 5-year analysis was
collected from the California Highway Patrol’s
Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System
(SWITRS).
According to the available data, there were 164
pedestrian-involved collisions from September
1, 2020 through August 31, 2025. The distribution
of pedestrian-involved collisions by year and
categorized by severity of injury, is shown in
Exhibit 14.
The three most prevalent Primary Contributing
Factors (PCFs) were Pedestrian Right of Way
(39.6%, meaning a maneuver that is made by
a driver without respecting the right-of-way
of another pedestrian), Pedestrian Violation
(30.5%, meaning a pedestrian’s own actions
caused the collision), and Traffic Signals and
Signs (6.1%, meaning a driver or pedestrian
disregarded or failed to obey a traffic signal or
sign). The number of collisions for each reported
PCF are listed in Exhibit 15.

4. Existing Bicycle Facilities
Class I shared-use paths (also known as
multi-use trails) are paved facilities designed
exclusively for use by pedestrians, bicyclists,
and other micromobility users. These paths are
entirely separate from automobile right-ofway and typically run through areas otherwise unreachable by cars. They are most often
installed along waterways, utility corridors,
abandoned railroad right of way, or within school
campuses, and within or between parks. Class
I shared-use paths are normally accessible to
all types of bicycles (as distinct from mountain
biking trails and other types of unpaved trails)
This section outlines the following basic
typology of bikeways as classified by Caltrans,
along with an overview of best practices
and examples of quick-build and long-term
solutions:
Class I shared-use paths
Class II on-street bike lanes
Class III bicycle routes and bike boulevards
Class IV protected bikeways
4.2. Class I SharedUse Path
4.1. Bikeway
Typology
and often striped with a centerline or other lane
striping for two directions of traffic or modal
separation. Most Class I paths are intended
for shared bicycle and pedestrian use, while
in some cases, separate lanes are striped for
bicyclists and pedestrians.
A typical cross-section is shown in Exhibit 1. Per
Caltrans design standards, the minimum width
is 8 feet for a two-way shared-use path (with
10 feet being preferred), and a 2-foot shoulder
is required on each side (HDM 1003.1). NACTO
standards also indicate a minimum width of 8
feet but a preferred width of 11-20 feet.
The Laguna Dominguez Trail, a regional Class I
path, runs partly through Hawthorne, as shown
in Exhibit 2.

Active Transportation Plan
27 Class II bike lanes are striped along existing streets and typically contain one lane on each side of the street corresponding to the direction of vehicular traffic. Unlike Class I facilities, Class II bike lanes are only intended for use by bicyclists and other rolling modes of similar speed. Class II bike lanes may or may not be separated from vehicular lanes by striped buffer zones.
A typical cross-section of a street with Class II bike lanes is shown in Exhibit 3. NACTO standards and prevalent best practices indicate that Class II bike lanes should be between 5 and 6.5 feet in width.
Bike lanes adjacent to on-street parking should be separated from the parking lane by a 2.5-foot to 3-foot buffer zone, with the combined with of the parking lane and buffer zone totaling 9.5 to 10 feet.1 Bike lanes can be striped as a quick-build project (such as in Exhibit 4) or as a permanent installation, such as the existing bike lanes on Hawthorne Boulevard shown in Exhibit 5. 1 https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-guide/designing-bikeways-for-all-ages-and-abilities/bikeways-on-low-speed-low-volume-streets/constrained-bike-lanes/ Exhibit 4.

Unlike other bikeway classifications, Class III bicycle routes do not provide any separate space on the road for bicycles, but rather indicate a preferred route for bicyclists using existing roads. The Class III route is typically indicated with signs and may include sharrows (shared lane markings) striped on the roadway.
A subtype of the Class III bicycle route is the bicycle boulevard, which typically are neighborhood streets designed to prioritize the safety and comfort of bicyclists, pedestrians, and other non-automobile road users. This can be achieved through a combination of signs (designating it specifically as a Bike Boulevard), striping (i.e. sharrows), traffic calming measures to encourage low automobile speeds, and modal filters to reduce automobile through traffic.
As of 2024, SB 1216 prohibits the installation of new shared lane markings on streets with speed limits above 30 miles per hour. Furthermore, per the California Streets and Highways Code, Section 2382, Active Transportation Program guidelines for project eligibility shall not include the development of Class III bikeways or sharrow markings except on streets with a design speed limit of 25 miles per hour or less, or on streets where it is demonstrated that the Class III bikeway or marking is appropriate for the local community context and advances a lower stress environment or a low-stress network.
Exhibit 6 shows an example of an existing Class III bike route in Hawthorne (El Segundo Boulevard).
Exhibit 7 shows an example of a Class III bike route with a modal filter, allowing bicyclists and pedestrians to pass through but excluding automobile traffic.

Active Transportation Plan 29
4.5. Class IV Bikeways
Class IV bikeways (also known as cycle tracks)
are separated, protected bikeways integrated
into the streetscape. They differ from Class
I paths in that they are within the right-ofway, run alongside the street, and are for the exclusive use of bicycles and rolling modes of
similar speed (unlike Class I paths, which are
shared with pedestrians). They differ from Class
II bike lanes in that they are separated from
vehicular traffic by a physical barrier rather
than just by striping. Separation is typically
accomplished using bollards, flexible posts,
concrete or plastic barriers, planter strips, or
on-street parking. Class IV bikeways can be at
street level or sidewalk level. They can consist
of a two-way bikeway with opposing lanes
adjacent to each other (see Exhibit 8) or a bike
lane for each direction on each side of the
street (see Exhibit 9).
According to NACTO standards, Class IV
protected bike lanes should have a minimum
width of 5 feet, plus a minimum 2-foot buffer
zone. Parking-protected Class IV bike lanes
should have a minimum 3-foot buffer zone
adjacent to parking to mitigate collisions with
car doors.2
Similar to Class II lanes, Class IV bikeways can
be striped as a quick-build project (such as in
Exhibit 10) or as a permanent installation (such
as in Exhibit 11).

4.7. Bicycle Parking
The City of Hawthorne contains approximately
8.2 miles of designated bikeways (including
bike infrastructure on both sides of roads where
applicable), including about 0.5 miles of Class
I shared-use paths, 4 miles of Class II bicycle
lanes, and about 3.7 miles of Class III bicycle
routes. A list of existing bikeways is shown in
Exhibit 24, and a map of existing bikeways and
parking is shown in Exhibit 28.
As shown below, the city currently does not
have any Class IV protected bikeways. The
city’s existing Class III bicycle routes are
located along arterial and collector roadways
with high-speed, high-volume traffic.
An analysis and inventory of bicycle racks
located at public-facing facilities was
conducted in September 2025. As bicycle
parking at public schools in Hawthorne is not
accessible to the public, those spaces are
excluded from this analysis. A table of verified
bicycle parking facilities, including their
locations, type, and number of spaces, is shown
in Exhibit 27, and a map of their locations is
shown in Exhibit 28.
There are approximately 35 locations
throughout the city with bicycle parking,
amounting to a combined 312 parking spaces.
Seven different bicycle rack design types were
identified: grid (122 spaces), bollard (4 spaces),
wave (146 spaces), inverted u (14 spaces), front
wheel (“wheel bender”) (19 spaces), wheelwellsecure (3 spaces), and lockers (4 spaces).
Examples of these bicycle racks in Hawthorne
are shown in Exhibit 25.

The City of Hawthorne Municipal Code does
not require any specific number of bicycle
parking spaces, except in mixed-use and multifamily residential developments (covered in § 17.100.050 and summarized below in Exhibit
26). Chapter 10.77 contains guidelines for
the usage and installation of bicycle racks.
Since bicycles are prohibited from parking on
sidewalks in front of places of public assembly,
the City grants the Chief of Police the power
to establish on-street bicycle parking zones,
where the location’s operator must install and
maintain racks.

Active Transportation Plan 33
Ideally, bicycle parking facilities should be
designed to allow users to easily secure both
wheels and the frame of the bicycle. For longer
term parking or storage, a fully enclosed
space or locker accessible only to the owner
or operator of the bicycle may prove more
appropriate. Multiple locations throughout
the city have substandard racks that only
secure the wheel of bicycles, including “wheel
bender” racks and grid racks which only
provide coverage to secure the front wheel.
While bollard and wave racks are more secure,
the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle
Professionals (APBP) Essentials of Bike Parking
recommends avoiding these types of racks.
According to the guide, wave racks are “not
user friendly” and “unintuitive”, and bollard
racks fail to support bicycles at two separate
locations (APBP 2015, p. 8).

5. Mode Share
Although comprehensive mode share data is not available for all trips, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) provides estimates of commute mode share (means of transportation to work) for workers age 16 and over. It should be noted that these estimates only cover trips to work, and therefore do not include other trip purposes in which active transportation may play a key role and may be more prevalent than work trips (for example, trips to school, classes, community activities, shopping, recreation, and exercise).
According to the latest available ACS estimates (2024), 1.5% of workers in Hawthorne commute by walking and 0.7% commute by bicycle (U.S. Census Bureau, 2024, Table S0801).

6. Active Transportation
Destinations and Trip Generators
Land uses—such as residential neighborhoods,
schools, parks, commercial centers, and
employment districts—function as both origins
and destinations for walking, bicycling, and
other active modes. The City’s primary activity
centers, including community facilities, the
Downtown/Central Business District, transit
stations, and key commercial corridors, were
identified using data from the General Plan
and Specific Plans. A map of land uses from the
General Plan is shown in Exhibit 37.
While available data can be used to infer
trip generation patterns and serve as a
comprehensive indicator of trip destinations,
the complexity of the transportation network
makes it difficult to precisely quantify active
transportation trips and generators. However,
mixed-use, compact, and diverse land use
patterns are generally associated with more
pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly environments.
When environments are considered safe,
comfortable, and diverse, they tend to support
higher levels of active transportation and make
its integration into daily life more seamless.

6.1. Parks
Below is a listing of locations in Hawthorne that are presumed to serve as key generators and/or attractors of active transportation trips. The locations are organized by the following land uses: parks, schools, the Downtown Central Business District, Metro stations, and high-density residential areas.
Parks in the City of Hawthorne are listed in
Exhibit 38 below and shown on the map in Exhibit
39. With 1.5 parks per square mile, Hawthorne
has a greater availability of open space than
its adjacent cities. In comparison, Inglewood
has 1.1 parks per square mile, and Gardena
has 1 park per square mile. Several areas near
parks have been identified in the City’s Capital
Improvement Plan as showing a need for bike
and pedestrian improvements. These areas
include: Crenshaw Boulevard & 120th St, the
Prairie Avenue Corridor, Hawthorne Boulevard,
the 120th Street Corridor, and Rosecrans

44 6.3. Downtown and Business Districts
6.4. Metro stations
The downtown Central Business District generally corresponds to the Hawthorne Boulevard corridor, spanning between the city’s northern and southern boundaries. The Hawthorne Boulevard corridor is characterized by a mix of businesses and restaurants (both local and chain), government buildings, hotels, and large-scale retail. With wide sidewalks, bike lanes, and a median that provides a refuge for pedestrians crossing Hawthorne Boulevard, this area is one of the City’s main corridors and attractors of active transportation trips.
Other significant business corridors include Prairie Avenue, Inglewood Avenue, El Segundo Boulevard, Imperial Highway, and Rosecrans Avenue.
As shown in Exhibit 41, Hawthorne is served by the following Metro stations:
Hawthorne/Lennox Station (C Line)
Crenshaw Station (C Line)
Redondo Beach Transit Center (K Line)
The Hawthorne/Lennox C Line Station is accessed by Hawthorne Boulevard, which is designated as a Class III bicycle facility in the immediate area and has Class II bike lanes terminating about 700 feet south of the station entrance. Pedestrian access is via sidewalks on both sides of Hawthorne Boulevard and Imperial Highway, both of which have sidewalks on both sides. Pedestrians must cross Imperial Highway to access the station. The cul-de-sac termini of Acadia Avenue and Larch Avenue (both local streets) are adjacent to the station parking lot, but are fenced off; station access could potentially be improved by opening up these connections.
The Crenshaw C Line Station is near to the northern terminus of the Laguna Dominguez Trail. However, trail users must cross 120th Street (a major arterial) to access the station, and must subsequently cross a freeway on-ramp for I-105 if approaching along the east side of Crenshaw Boulevard. No other bicycle facilities lead to the station. For pedestrian access, the station is accessed via relatively narrow, unbuffered sidewalks alongside major arterials (Crenshaw Boulevard and 120th Street).
Hawthorne is also served by the Metro K Line via the Redondo Beach Transit Center. This station is served by rail and bus lines and is located in the extreme southwest corner of the City of Hawthorne, directly on the City boundary. It is accessed from other areas in Hawthorne primarily via Marine Ave., which has sidewalks on both sides. However, the sidewalks approaching the station are relatively narrow, lack buffers, and are partially blocked in some locations by street furniture such as electrical boxes and railroad crossing signal poles. There is bicycle parking at the station, including bike lockers, but there are no dedicated bicycle lanes or paths connecting to the station.

6.5. Hawthorne Boulevard Mobility Hub Project
Identifying proposed land uses and redevelopment areas is essential for anticipating future travel demand and to plan for active transportation facilities early in the process. One key example of future investment in multimodal mobility is the Caltrans Hawthorne Mobility Hub Project, which is currently in its early planning phases. The project aims to create a more connected and user-friendly transportation environment by introducing features that encourage and support active transportation (e.g., such as connecting bike lanes, bike lockers, real-time transit information, improved lighting, security cameras, better signs for transit stops, crosswalk improvements, bike stations, greenery, and improvements to curb ramps and crossings).
Examples of potential project elements being considered by Caltrans are shown below:

47 7. Wayfinding
Wayfinding systems play an essential role
in transportation networks for all users.
They help connect the network by providing
directional guidance to major destinations
and, ideally, enhance safety for users of active
transportation modes by directing them to the
safest paths of travel. This may include nonautomobile-focused signage, such as, but not limited to: “bike route” or “bike lane” signage,
maps with active transportation facilities, or
destination signage for pedestrian pathways.
Hawthorne does not currently have a dedicated
wayfinding system for users of active
transportation modes, but employs regulatory
signage to direct active transportation users
and vehicles. For example, the city uses signage
in advance of school zones and crosswalks to
warn drivers to slow down for pedestrians. For
bicyclists, “bike lane/route” signs and striping
demarcate bicycle facilities to cyclists and
motorists. Outside of the Class II bike lanes
on Hawthorne Boulevard and the Dominguez
Channel Trail, all bicycle facilities in Hawthorne
are marked with striped shared-use arrows, or
“sharrows,” and green “bike route” signage. In
addition, there are multiple “bicycles crossing”
advisory signs throughout Hawthorne.
Examples of bicycle signage on Hawthorne
Boulevard is shown in Exhibit 42.

8. Equity Analysis
Disadvantaged communities in California
are specifically targeted for investments to
improve public health, quality of life for their
residents, while also helping to reduce pollution
and other factors that contribute to climate
change. Per the
California Transportation Commission 2025
Active Transportation Program Guidelines,
plans should identify census
tracts that are considered disadvantaged or
low-income and identify bicycle and pedestrian
needs of those disadvantaged or low-income
residents. This includes lack of connectivity to
key destinations, mobility challenges, public
health concerns, and safety issues.
Approximately 84 percent of the City of
Hawthorne’s total area is located within
disadvantaged census tracts. A map of these
areas is shown in Exhibit 43. The connectivity
and mobility challenges, safety concerns,
and public health issues identified in this plan
are present throughout most of the city and
affect all disadvantaged areas identified in this
section.
The California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) has designated four categories of geographic areas as disadvantaged:
Census tracts receiving the highest 25 percent of overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 (1,984 tracts).
Census tracts lacking overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 due to data gaps, but receiving the highest 5 percent of CalEnviroScreen 4.0 cumulative pollution burden scores (19 tracts).
Census tracts identified in the 2017 DAC designation as disadvantaged, regardless of their scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 (307 tracts).
Lands under the control of federally recognized tribes Tribes.

Active Transportation Plan 51
To ensure adequate representation of the community in the development of the Active Transportation Plan, the City conducted a series of outreach events and efforts. The aim of conducting outreach was to advertise the plan, collect critical feedback on what residents and visitors viewed as shortcomings with existing active transportation infrastructure, and receive input on where the City should focus their efforts on active transportation infrastructure and program improvements. This chapter outlines the efforts conducted throughout the development of the plan.
1. Community Outreach
To advertise the Active Transportation Plan, educate the community, and collect feedback on both existing infrastructure and desired improvements, an interactive, bilingual project website was hosted through Social Pinpoint. Websites through this service are specifically tailored for conducting public outreach and collecting community feedback through widgets like surveys, interactive maps for collecting location-specific comments, project timelines, and calendars showing both upcoming and previously hosted events. In addition, visitors had the option to automatically translate the website into their native language. A screenshot of the homepage is shown in Exhibit 1.
The website was advertised through multiple mediums, including official social media accounts for the City of Hawthorne and placing flyers and QR codes linking to the website at outreach events and various City facilities. Feedback was collected for an 8-month period from September 2025 through April 2026. Flyers hung at City Hall and other facilities advertising the website in English and Spanish, respectively, are shown in Exhibit 4 and Exhibit 5.
During the period that feedback was collected, the website saw over 1,000 unique visitors and received 65 survey responses (including those collected during in-person events) and 23 comments on the interactive map.
On the interactive map, users were able to place markers with comments on the map based on type of transportation mode (represented by different icons) at the specific locations where they wished to submit a comment. Their comments were then viewable by other users and demarcated by icons representing the comment type. Screenshots of the interactive map are shown in Exhibits 1, 2, and 3. A summary of comments can be found in Exhibits 7 and 8.
A dedicated landing page was also created on the City of Hawthorne’s Public Works website to advertise the Active Transportation Plan and keep the community updated on the project’s timeline and upcoming events. A screenshot of the page is shown in Exhibit 6.

1 Needs bike lanes

4 Cars drive too fast, put speed humps
5 Bike lanes need to be protected by a physical barrior like a curb or poles. Just painting a bicycle icon or a line in the street doesn’t do a darn thing for safety 6 I from 138th to elsegundo the sidewalk is too narrow. It is currently used as a walk way to get for. Hollyglen and 360 SouthBay to get to the Wiseburn Schools. Between bikes used by kids to get to and from schools, adult getting to work, and those walking it is dangeous. The sidewalk is too narrow for all this. But without a bike path that is safe for kids to use to get to and from the schools especially the middle school and di Vinci hi school everything happens on the sidewalk. Soon the sports complex field will attract more users. Either make it safe for walkers and find an alternative safe bike route for residents getting to school work or the fields /parks or make it wide enough to be safe for everyone to share. Poles in the middle of the sidewalk make sharing even more difficult. 7 Marine needs protected bike lanes. No alternative paths to cross 405 requires bikes to use Marine/Rosecrans/etc. Traffic quantity necessitates it to be protected as well 8 The drivers do not follow the traffic signal, and there is a high rate of speed. There should be safer crossings. 9 the crossing here should have a crosswalk/flashing lights/yield to peds 10 This area is scary as a cyclist because the sidewalk has too many obstacles to get a bike through, there is no bike lane, and 2 lanes merge onto the freeway. 1 lane merges onto the freeway right before this. Bikes need a dedicated space with raised curbs to prevent cars hitting them when trying to turn onto the freeway. Or maybe dedicated bike signals.
11 there is street parking here. This would be a good opportunity to have this entire lane become a parking protected bike lane 12 We need east/west protected bike lanes. “Sharrows” (share the road arrows) result in angry/dangerous drivers. It’s better to have bikes get their own space 13 this double intersection is very unsafe. people run the red light here all the time because it’s confusing or because they’re not paying attention which makes it scary to bike through here.
14 4 way stop signs and crosswalks would make these streets safer for pedestrians. A lot of kids in this area walking to school and cars speeding as fast as possible to bypass traffic on surrounding major roads
15 Sidewalk here is very narrow and trucks go by very close and fast 16 These crossings are very long and drivers often make right-on-reds without slowing down. I’ve nearly been hit multiple times here. Could the number of lanes / turn lanes be reduced and bulb-outs added to reduce crossing distance and improve safety? 17 El Segundo put in a bike lane on their side of El Segundo Blvd here, and although it is quite narrow there is no corresponding eastbound bike lane on the Hawthorne side.
Could Hawthorne put a bike lane on El Segundo Blvd, and could it be protected? 18 Rosecrans needs protected bike lanes! There’s no safe way to get east/west around here, plus you need to get past the 405 on-ramps where cars are not looking for people biking or walking past
19 The Dominugez channel bike path crossings (along its entire length) are not marked/signaled and dangerous to cross. Would like to see at least a push-button crosswalk or additionally an under-crossing like most other channel paths. 20 Protected side lane on El Segundo Blvd for east/west 21 Hawthorne Blvd needs protected bike lanes; drivers weave into bike lanes sometimes Exhibit 7.

22 Rosecrans is very traffic heavy & cars come down quick, which makes active transportation hard 23 Add/upgrade Class IV protected bike lanes
24 Make some sort of cross walk between the park and costco to many people jay walking and drivers trying to go to costco and the park . To many traffic jams due to people wondering where the other one is going or not seeing that there are people/bike crossing. 25 Consistent pick- up of dumped furniture.
Ticketing for folx that don’t clean up after their pets, too many schools in the area. 26 There are a ton of power lines and other cables thought off Ramona. Some of the wires are tied to trees! This impacts walk ability on this street. 27 There is an opportunity to connect with other bike lanes in Del Air that connects to the imperial hwy. Would love to see biking improvements here to better connect with biking infrastructure throughout LA county.
28 The sidewalks here are a little difficult to navigate due to many sign posts, electric poles and no grass areas between the street and the sidewalks. 29 Similar to El Segundo Blvd. Rosecrans Ave is vital for proper biking infrastructure. 30 There is a critical opportunity to connect Hawthorne to neighboring city bike paths. El Segundo Blvd is a major east to west corridor for Hawthorne. Hawthorne has north to south bike paths but nothing east to west. El Segundo Blvd connects to the major El Segundo light rail system that also connects to LAX. This is vital for people who need alternatives to cars but also need to connect to LAX.

To gauge community sentiment and inform the development of the Active Transportation Plan, visitors to the website were asked to complete a 7-question survey. At community outreach events, a paper version of the same survey (in English and Spanish) was provided for participants to fill out, and staff had tablets available for participants to fill out the survey electronically. In total, 66 respondents filled out the survey (electronically or on paper) during the planning process. The survey questions and the responses received are summarized in this section. C Question 1: Which of the following active modes of transportation do you use, and if so, how often?

Respondents generally assigned a high level of importance to the improvements mentioned in this survey question. The greatest importance was assigned to more/better crosswalks (86% rated as very important), followed by more/better sidewalks (82% rated as very important), protected bike lanes (74% rated as very important), and more shared-use paths (74% rated as very important). 67% of respondents considered traffic calming very important, and 61% considered more bike lanes very important. These results reflect a trend also seen in many other communities toward a preference for increased separation between vehicles and active transportation users.
Question 6: What do you believe are the most important active transportation facilities for Hawthorne to build?
Question 7: Is there anything else that you believe
Hawthorne should build to encourage active
transportation?
Respondents suggested:
Speed humps

Active Transportation Plan 65
This section of the Active Transportation Plan
outlines proposals for new and upgraded active
transportation infrastructure, each aimed at
increasing safety and comfort for all users and
meeting the requested needs of city residents.
These proposals were developed in tandem
with City officials, community members, and
other relevant stakeholders through regular
meetings and an extensive public outreach
effort. Additionally, proposal development
entailed reviews of existing and newly collected
GIS and traffic data, field observations, aerial
imagery, and review of existing local, regional,
and statewide plans and other best practices.
1. Introduction
The following underlying principles
were followed in the development of
recommendations and throughout the
planning process:
Accommodate all road users of all ages,
abilities, and travel modes (the Complete
Streets philosophy).
Use the latest and best design practices
and standards, acknowledging that recent
studies and innovations in road design
can contribute to improving safety and
encouraging active transportation.
Develop a dedicated active transportation
network, connecting to destinations and to
existing and planned facilities in adjacent
jurisdictions.
Reflect community needs, using stakeholder
input to steer the planning process and guide
the development of recommendations.
Proposals were developed in alignment with
the following design standards and guidance
documents:
NACTO (National Association of City
Transportation Officials) Urban Bikeway
Design Guide, 3rd edition.
California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (CA-MUTCD), 2026 edition.
Caltrans Highway Design Manual, 7th edition.
AASHTO (American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials)
The location-specific recommendations in this
section are organized by classification and
by corridor. For Class II and Class IV bicycle
facilities, typical cross-sections are presented
showing existing and proposed conditions for
each roadway segment where improvements
are recommended. For Class III bicycle
routes, a toolbox of traffic calming measures
is presented to assist in building a network
of low-speed bike- and pedestrian-friendly
streets. Finally, for pedestrian infrastructure, a
range of citywide policies and location-specific
recommendations are presented.

The following recommendations relate to the Laguna Dominguez Trail, a Class I shared-use path on the east side of the City of Hawthorne. The locations of the recommendations are illustrated in Exhibit 16.
3. Class I Shared Use Path
Recommendations
Exhibit 16. Recommended Laguna Dominguez Trail
improvements
Recommendation: Resurface, repair, and upgrade the trail.
During site visits, the Laguna Dominguez Trail was observed to have a deteriorated surface, with numerous cracks in the asphalt. However, as of the time of writing, Los Angeles County has a project ongoing to resurface the trail. In addition, the recommended trail upgrades include the following associated items from the 2015 Crenshaw Station Active Transportation Plan:
4.1-1a: Provide new pathway railroad crossing signal at freight railroad crossing for the new West side pathway.
4.1-1b: Replace chain link gates with decorative entrances and signage.
4.1-1c: Replace chain link fencing along pathways with a mixture of landscaping, tube steel fencing, and amenities.
4.1-1d: Add light fixtures along both pathways.
4.1-1e: Add emergency kiosks at pathway entrances with sirens and flashers.
4.1-1f: Add striping, wayfinding signage, and informational signage along pathways.
4.1-1g: The 2015 Crenshaw Station Active Transportation Plan proposed naturalization of the Dominguez Channel, with enhanced greenery and an elevated trail. This could still be pursued should funding become available.
3.1-1: Laguna Dominguez Trail from W 120th Street to El Segundo Boulevard City of Hawthorne
Active Transportation Plan
72 Recommendation: Complete the trail on the west side of the channel.
As of early 2026, the City of Hawthorne has applied for Caltrans funding to complete this project.
3.1-3: East-West Connections Between Laguna
Dominguez Trail and Crenshaw Boulevard
Recommendation: Improve east-west connectivity.
Between 120th Street and El Segundo Boulevard, there are three bridges across the Dominguez Channel (two vehicular bridges and one rail bridge) which connect to Crenshaw Boulevard. These crossings would benefit from upgrades to strengthen the connection between the Laguna Dominguez Trail and destinations on and near Crenshaw Boulevard. Possible upgrades include:
Wider and more continuous sidewalks at the northernmost connection (between the two parking lots).
A sidewalk along the north side of the middle connection, where there is currently a striped pedestrian lane (at Rocket Road); a wider and blockage-free sidewalk along the south side.
A paved Class I path for the southernmost connection (at the railroad tracks where there is currently an unpaved area).
3.1-4: Laguna Dominguez Trail at El Segundo
Boulevard
Recommendation: Install crossing for Class I shared-use path.
No crossing facilities currently exist for the Laguna Dominguez Trail at El Segundo Boulevard (partly within Hawthorne’s jurisdiction). Trail users can cross at the signalized intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard 200 feet to the west. However, the sidewalks on the bridge crossing the Dominguez Channel are narrow (5 feet) and do not meet shared-use path standards.
Per the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (2026 edition, Section 4D.01), “Midblock crosswalks should not be signalized if they are located within 300 feet from the nearest traffic control signal, unless supported by an engineering study or engineering judgment that indicates safe and efficient operation of the closely-spaced traffic control signals can be achieved.”
If supported by an engineering study, a Class I shared-use path crossing could be considered for this location. Exhibit 17 shows an example of an existing crossing in a location of similar character, at a location in the City of Santa Monica where the Expo Line Bike Path crosses Stewart Street less than 100 feet from the signalized intersection with Olympic Boulevard.
3.1-5: Drainage channel from W 120th St / I-105
interchange to W 116th St
This existing drainage channel leads from near the I-105 interchange at W 120th Street northeast to W 116th Street. It could potentially be explored for development into a Class I trail, similar to the Dominguez Channel Trail.

4. Class I, II, and IV On-Street
Bikeway Recommendations
4.1. Hawthorne Boulevard
Hawthorne Boulevard is the City’s main commercial thoroughfare, running 2¼ miles from the northern City limits at W 111th Street to the southern City limits near Rosecrans Avenue. Bike lanes were first added in 2015-2016, between West 120th Street and Rosecrans Avenue. These were extended to the north, between Imperial Highway and West 120th Street, in 2019.
This section contains recommendations for Class I, II, and IV bikeways. The recommendations are planning-level and the exact details of construction should be addressed in the design phase. In all instances, striping at intersections should account for truck and bus traffic.
This section of Hawthorne Boulevard has three northbound through lanes and three southbound through lanes, plus pocket turn lanes at intersections separated by a landscaped median. This segment includes an interchange with I-105 on- and off-ramps. It also includes pedestrian and transit access to the Hawthorne/Lennox Metro Station.
The ADT on this section is 24,949 (10,339 northbound and 14,610 southbound), with AM peak hour volumes of 738 northbound and 1028 southbound, and PM peak hour volumes of 743 northbound and 1142 southbound.
From 2021 to 2025, there were four crashes involving pedestrians and four crashes involving bicyclists on this segment.
4.1-1: Hawthorne Boulevard from north City limits to Imperial Hwy City of Hawthorne
Active Transportation Plan
74 Exhibit 18. Existing cross-section: Hawthorne Boulevard from north City limits to Imperial Hwy Recommendation: Add Class IV bike lanes.
Class IV bike lanes through this segment would close a 1,600-foot gap in the bikeway network, connecting downtown Hawthorne’s existing bike lanes to those in Lennox to the north.
On this segment, there are three bus stops on
the northbound side and one on the southbound
side, including heavily utilized stops that serve
the Hawthorne/Lennox Metro Station. To
provide passenger access across the bike lane
between buses and sidewalks, a platform with
a ramp is recommended at each bus stop.
An existing example from Portland, Oregon is
shown in Exhibit 20.

Active Transportation Plan 75
This segment of Hawthorne Boulevard runs through the city’s downtown business district. There are three southbound through lanes and four northbound through lanes for most of this segment, reduced to three northbound through lanes south of El Segundo Boulevard. In addition, there are pocket turn lanes at multiple intersections. Various blocks on each side have frontage roads which are separated by a landscaped buffer and provide space for on-street angled parking. There are existing Class II bike lanes—however, cyclists, e-bikes, and e-scooters were observed riding on the sidewalks during field visits.
The ADT on this section (measured between W 132nd Street and W 133rd Street) is 28,611 vehicles (14,032 northbound and 14,579 southbound), with AM peak hour volumes of 1,053 northbound and 1,040 southbound, and PM peak hour volumes of 1,074 northbound and 1,201 southbound. Given the existing volumes on Hawthorne Boulevard, one travel lane could be removed in either direction, if needed, to create additional space for active transportation users.
From 2021 to 2025, there were 31 crashes involving pedestrians and 20 crashes involving bicyclists on this segment.
Recommendation: Upgrade to Class IV bike lanes
Protected bike lanes could improve cyclists’ level of comfort when riding on this segment. The characteristics of the road vary from block to block. In some locations, there is a buffer between the southbound bike lane and the landscaped buffer. This arrangement could be reversed by adding delineators to give cyclists protection from vehicular traffic. In locations where on-street parking (either angled or parallel) is present, Class IV bike lanes can be installed behind the parking spaces. This would require modifying the curbs but would have the benefit of improving cyclist access to businesses and other destinations along the street. This would also improve safety and comfort for cyclists. The details of Class IV bike lane implementation from block to block would need to be established in the design phase.
Traffic volume data support the possibility of converting one vehicular lane in each direction to provide more space for bicycle traffic. In some locations, existing excess lane width could be repurposed to provide buffer space for bicycle lanes. The exhibits below show representative cross-sections of multiple locations along Hawthorne Boulevard, with suggested bicycle lane improvements.

4.2. El Segundo Boulevard
El Segundo Boulevard runs partly along the
boundary of the City of Hawthorne. Jurisdiction
is shared with the City of El Segundo from
Aviation Boulevard to Isis Avenue; with
unincorporated Los Angeles County from
I-405 to Inglewood Avenue; and with the City
of Gardena from Crenshaw Boulevard to near
Cimarron Avenue. There are three eastbound
through lanes and three westbound through
lanes, plus pocket turn lanes at various
intersections and intermittent two-way left turn
lanes on some blocks. There is on-street parking
on both sides, with parking restrictions creating
an additional travel lane in each direction from
6:00 AM to 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
The ADT on El Segundo Boulevard (measured
between Aviation Boulevard and Isis Avenue) is
43,835 vehicles (21,629 eastbound and 22,206
westbound), with AM peak hour volumes of
1,003 eastbound and 2,179 westbound, and
PM peak hour volumes of 2,297 eastbound and
1,314 westbound. Between Inglewood Avenue
and the eastern city boundary, the ADT on
El Segundo Boulevard (maximum measured
between Roselle Avenue and Cordary Avenue)
is 32,293 vehicles (15,881 eastbound and 16,412
westbound), with AM peak hour volumes of
1,044 eastbound and 1,653 westbound, and PM
peak hour volumes of 1,596 eastbound and 1,156
westbound.
From 2021 to 2025, there were 17 crashes
involving pedestrians and 13 crashes involving
bicyclists on El Segundo Boulevard.

4.2-1: El Segundo Boulevard from Aviation Boulevard to east City limits Recommendation: Add Class IV parking-protected bike lanes.
This solution does not reduce the number of vehicular through lanes or the on-street parking, but removes the center turn lane. Given the crash history on El Segundo Boulevard, with 75 of 189 fatal/injury crashes from 2019 to 2024 (40%) involving left turns or U-turns3, elimination of the two-way left turn lane and introduction of turning movement restrictions may be needed to improve safety on this corridor.
Bike lanes for El Segundo Boulevard in the Downtown area were also recommended in the Downtown Hawthorne Specific Plan.

Prairie Avenue has two northbound through lanes and two southbound through lanes. There is on-street parking on both sides, with parking restrictions creating an additional travel lane in each direction from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
Prairie Avenue runs partly along the boundary of the City of Hawthorne and is shared with the City of Lawndale for a 2,300-foot segment from north of Rosecrans Avenue to south of W 149th Street.
Prairie Avenue has intermittent landscaped median islands (a total of 17 islands in the City of Hawthorne). Any improvements that consist solely of restriping and signage, without altering curbs, will be constrained by these medians. The cross-sections below are representative, showing typical sections of Prairie Avenue where the median is approximately 14 feet wide. South of W 145th Street, there are no median islands, and the curb-to-curb width is slightly narrower.
Between W 145th Street and W 149th Street, there is a frontage road on the east side of Prairie Avenue (the City of Hawthorne’s side) providing access to homes and residential streets.
The ADT on Prairie Avenue (maximum measured between Broadway and W 122nd Street) is 36,542 (20,670 northbound and 15,872 southbound), with AM peak hour volumes of 1,547 northbound and 1,157 southbound, and PM peak hour volumes of 1,490 northbound and 1,387 southbound.
From 2021 to 2025, there were 25 crashes involving pedestrians and 16 crashes involving bicyclists on Prairie Avenue.
Prairie Avenue has been identified as one of the
primary access routes for the LA28 Olympics
due to its connection to facilities like SoFi
Stadium and the Intuit Dome to the north of
the city. Active transportation improvements
will ensure better connectivity for alternative
modes both during the Olympic Games and in
the longer-term future.

This proposal adds Class IV protected bike lanes on each side of Prairie Avenue while preserving two through lanes and one parking / peak through lane on each side. To accomplish this, the median width will need to be reduced and some turn lanes will need to be removed, the details of which will be determined in the design stage.
As a potential alternative, the northbound parking / peak through lane could be replaced with a two-way Class IV cycle track without modifying the median.

This segment of Rosecrans Avenue has four eastbound through lanes and three westbound through lanes, with turn lanes at various intersections. There are concrete and landscaped median islands in some areas. The recommendations for this segment also cover the area around the intersection with Hawthorne Boulevard, which is within a small “peninsula” in the City of Hawthorne, surrounded on three sides by the City of Lawndale.
The ADT on this section (maximum measured between I-405 southbound off-ramp and Hindry Avenue) is 58,016 vehicles (28,069 eastbound and 29,947 westbound), with AM peak hour volumes of 1,362 eastbound and 2,755 westbound, and PM peak hour volumes of 2,131 eastbound and 1,532 westbound.
From 2021 to 2025, there were nine crashes involving pedestrians and six crashes involving bicyclists on this segment.
Given existing traffic volumes, the presence of the I-405 interchange, and the role of Rosecrans Avenue as a key east-west connector, there may not be space within the existing right-of-way to accommodate bicycle facilities. Instead, use of West 142nd Street as a parallel alternative route is recommended.

Jurisdiction is shared with unincorporated Los Angeles County except in the immediate vicinity of Prairie Avenue. There are two eastbound through lanes and two westbound through lanes, with a two-way center turn lane and pocket turn lanes at intersections. Starting east of Gerkin Avenue, there are frontage roads on each side of the street. The frontage road on the north side of the street, within the City of Hawthorne, is separated by a tree-lined buffer. Marine Avenue provides direct access to the Laguna Dominguez Trail just outside the city boundary.
The ADT on this section is 22,249 vehicles (11,007 eastbound and 11,242 westbound), with AM peak hour volumes of 697 eastbound and 1,142 westbound, and PM peak hour volumes of 1,125 eastbound and 771 westbound.
From 2021 to 2025, there was one crash involving a pedestrian and two crashes involving bicyclists on this segment.
Recommendation: Upgrade the sidewalk to a Class I path.
Given the existing traffic volumes, a reduction in the number of travel lanes is not supported. The existing roadway width is not adequate to fit on-street bicycle facilities without reducing vehicular capacity. As a long-term solution, a bicycle connector at sidewalk level could be established for one block (between Prairie Avenue and Gerkin Avenue) to improve the connection between potential bicycle facilities on Prairie Avenue and the frontage roads along Marine Avenue, which connect to the Laguna Dominguez Trail just outside the city limits.

The South Bay Local Travel Network (LTN)
is a network of local streets throughout the
South Bay region, established by the South
Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG)
to create safer routes for micromobility. The
LTN is intended to accommodate the wide
variety of slower-speed vehicles that have
seen increasing popularity in recent years —
from e-bikes and e-scooters to neighborhood
electric vehicles (NEVs), Segways, OneWheels,
quadricycles, and many others.7
The LTN is a region-wide network (see Exhibit
65) which includes approximately 10 miles of
local streets within the City of Hawthorne. To
build out the LTN, the SBCCOG recommends
wayfinding signage with consistent branding to
encourage slower travel modes (see Exhibit 64).

5.2. Recommended Class III Bicycle Routes
In addition to the LTN routes, this ATP
recommends designating other local streets
as Class III bicycle routes. These streets
were selected based on their existing role as
corridors for neighborhood-level active travel.
These additional Class III routes will expand on
the LTN routes, building a more robust active
transportation network. The recommended
Class III routes (LTN and non-LTN) are
summarized in Exhibit 13.
Active Transportation Program guidelines for
project eligibility restrict shared lane markings
to streets with speed limits of 25 miles per hour
or less. Therefore, streets with speed limits above
25 miles per hour should not be designated as
Class III bicycle routes.

5.3. Class III Bicycle Boulevard Toolbox
In lieu of location-specific measures for the
buildout of the City of Hawthorne’s Class III
bicycle route network, this section presents a
toolbox of traffic calming measures that can be
considered for implementation to achieve the
intended outcome of Class III facilities.
Each of the following toolbox measures can
be deployed as a quick-build, temporary
solution at relatively low cost. This will enable
the City to evaluate the effects of the roadway
improvements before implementing the
solutions more permanently.
However, care should be taken in selecting these
tools and determining where to apply them, as
every location has its own unique considerations.
When planning for traffic calming measures,
attention should be paid to the context of the
street or intersection in question and its role in
the surrounding transportation network. Before
implementing any of the following measures, a
traffic engineering study should be carried out,
evaluating the suitability and predicted effects
of the proposed traffic calming measures and
identifying the performance measures that will
be used to evaluate the project’s success.
The main advantages and disadvantages for
each traffic calming tool are discussed in the
following pages, with approximate costs and
example images provided.

5.3-1: Horizontal Deflection Devices
Exhibit 67. Temporary median islands (source: City of Pittsburgh) Exhibit 68. Permanent median island (source: SF Better Streets) Horizontal deflection devices physically alter
the path of vehicles in the roadway, forcing
drivers to deviate from following a straight line
and slow down in the process. They are often
designed with landscaping features to enhance
the aesthetics of the streetscape.
Median Islands
Median islands are raised or marked areas in
the center of a street. They typically separate
opposing directions of traffic and serve as a
pedestrian refuge, allowing pedestrians to wait
for one direction of traffic at a time.
Median islands can be installed as a temporary
measure during a test phase using a
combination of tactical tools such as bollards,
striping, modular rubberized components,
planter boxes, or related devices. Permanent
installations typically include landscaping and
often includes street trees, which contribute to
the optical narrowing of the roadway.
Typical cost: Depending on scale and features,
$2,000 - $10,000+ for temporary installation;
$25,000 - $100,000+ for permanent installation
of small islands. Costs can be far higher for
medians along an entire corridor.
Positive aspects:
Proven speed reduction.
Provides pedestrian refuge areas for
crossing.
Can enhance street aesthetics.
Negative aspects:
Long medians may interrupt emergency
access and operations.
May interrupt driveway access and result in
U-turns.
Landscaping, if present, must be maintained.

Exhibit 69. Temporary curb extension (source: Wikimedia) Exhibit 70. Permanent curb extension (source: City of St. Johns) Bulb-Outs (Curb Extensions)
Bulb-outs narrow the travel lanes at
intersections. They reduce turning vehicle
speeds by decreasing the curb radii, reduce
through vehicle speeds by visually narrowing
the roadway, and reduce crossing distances
for pedestrians. The magnitude of reduction in
speed is dependent on the spacing and curb
radii.
Like other devices in this section, bulb-outs can
be installed as a temporary measure during a
test phase using a combination of tactical tools
such as bollards, striping, modular rubberized
components, planter boxes, or related
devices. Permanent installations may include
landscaping or may be designed with nonlandscaped aesthetic enhancements such as decorative bricks.
Typical cost: $5,000 - $10,000 for temporary
installation; $25,000 - $100,000+ for permanent
installation.
Positive aspects:
Proven speed reduction.
Provides pedestrian refuge areas for
crossing.
Can enhance street aesthetics.
Negative aspects:
Requires bicyclists to briefly merge with
vehicular traffic at bulb-out location.
Landscaping, if present, must be maintained.
May require elimination of some on-street
parking.
Requires additional effort during street

Exhibit 71. Temporary choker with median (source: Dakota News Now) Exhibit 72. Permanent choker (source: FHWA)
Chokers (Mid-Block Curb Extensions)
Chokers narrow the street by extending the
sidewalk or landscaped area. These devices are
employed to make pedestrian crossings easier,
to narrow the roadway, and/or to slow traffic.
Like other devices in this section, they influence
driver behavior by reducing the perceived width
of the roadway and requiring drivers to deviate
from a straight path, consequently slowing
traffic down.
Like other devices in this section, chokers can
be installed as a temporary measure during
a test phase using a combination of tactical
tools such as bollards, striping, modular
rubberized components, planter boxes, or
related devices. Permanent installations may
include landscaping or may be designed with
non-landscaped aesthetic enhancements such
as decorative bricks.
Typical cost: $2,000 - $10,000 for temporary
installation; $20,000 - $50,000+ for permanent
installation.
Positive aspects:
Proven speed reduction.
Can enhance street aesthetics.
Negative aspects:
Requires bicyclists to briefly merge with

Exhibit 75. Temporary traffic circle in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA Exhibit 76. Permanent traffic circle in Long Beach, CA (source: Google) Traffic Circles
Traffic circles are circular islands-the center of
intersections, around which traffic circulates.
Traffic circles can prevent drivers from speeding
through intersections by preventing straightthrough movement. Stop signs or yield signs can be used as traffic controls at the approaches.
Like other devices in this section, traffic circles
can be installed as a temporary measure
during a test phase using a combination of
tactical tools such as bollards, striping, modular
rubberized components, planter boxes, or
related devices. Permanent installations
typically include landscaping but may also be
designed without landscaping, using features
such as decorative bricks.
Typical cost: $10,000 - $20,000 for temporary
installation; $75,000+ for permanent
installation.
Positive aspects:
Proven speed reduction.
Can enhance street aesthetics and
neighborhood identity.
Potential for stormwater capture.
Negative aspects:
Requires careful design to allow passage
of emergency vehicles and prevent the
circulating lane does from encroaching on
crosswalks.
May require elimination of some on-street
parking.

Exhibit 77. Temporary speed hump (source: Zanesville Times Recorder) Exhibit 78. Permanent speed hump on W 135th St in Hawthorne
5.3-2: Vertical Deflection Devices
Speed Humps
Speed humps are parabolic features in the
roadway that employ vertical deflection to
slow motor vehicle traffic. The travel length of a
speed hump is typically 12 to 14 feet.
Speed humps are distinct from speed bumps,
which have a shorter travel length (1 to 3 feet)
and are typically used on private roadways and
parking lots; or with speed tables, which have a
longer travel length (typically 22 feet).
Like other devices in this section, speed humps
can be installed as a temporary measure
during a test phase using modular rubberized
components, of which there are several varieties
on the market.
Typical cost: $5,000 - $10,000 for temporary
installation; $20,000 - $30,000 for permanent
installation.
Positive aspects:
Proven speed reduction when properly
designed and spaced.
Low cost compared with other traffic
calming measures.
Lower long-term maintenance costs
compared with traffic calming measures
that include landscaping features.
Negative aspects:
May slow down emergency vehicles.
Can be ineffective if spaced too far apart;
drivers may accelerate in between humps,
resulting in increased noise from acceleration,
braking, and tire and suspension movement.
May be considered a nuisance for delivery
trucks, school buses, and bicycles.

Active Transportation Plan 109
Exhibit 79. Temporary speed table (source: Spectrum News) Exhibit 80. Permanent speed table with crosswalk (source: Caltrans) Speed Tables and Raised Crosswalks
Speed tables are raised sections of the
roadway intended to reduce vehicle speeds.
Compared to speed humps, speed tables have
a greater travel length (typically 22 feet) and
bring about a smaller reduction in speed. They
are considered more appropriate than speed
humps for collector streets, transit routes, and
emergency response routes.
Speed tables are often combined with
crosswalks, reducing drivers’ speeds at points
where pedestrians cross. Like other devices in
this section, speed tables can be installed as a
temporary measure during a test phase using
modular rubberized components, of which
there are several varieties on the market.
Typical cost: $8,000 - $10,000 for temporary
installation; $20,000 - $50,000 for permanent
installation.
Positive aspects:
Proven speed reduction when properly
designed.
Lower long-term maintenance costs
compared with traffic calming measures
that include landscaping features.
Negative aspects:
May slow down emergency vehicles (albeit
less so than speed humps).
May need to be combined with other traffic
calming measures to be effective. Speed
tables typically only reduce speeds in their
immediate vicinity.

Exhibit 81. Temporary modal filter with flex posts, preserving emergency access, in Santa Barbara, CA Exhibit 82. Permanent modal filter with mountable curbs, preserving emergency access in San Luis Obispo, CA
5.3-3: Volume Control Devices
The devices in this section are intended to
reduce traffic volumes on local streets while
encouraging access by pedestrians and users
of rolling modes such as bicycles, scooters, and
other micromobility devices.
Modal Filters
Modal filters are road design elements that
restrict the flow of certain modes of travel while
allowing others to pass through. Most typically,
they take the form of partial and full street
closures that prevent automobiles from passing
through while allowing passage by bicyclists
and pedestrians.
Like other devices in this section, modal filters
can be installed as a temporary measure
during a test phase using a combination of
tactical tools such as bollards, signs, planters,
rubber curbs, or related devices. Permanent
installations may include concrete curb
installation, landscaping, or various other
design elements. In many cases, cities preserve
emergency vehicle access by using flexible
posts for a portion of the filter.
Typical cost: $1,000 - $3,000 for temporary
installation; $2,000 - $10,000 for permanent
installation depending on the project type.
Positive aspects:
Reduces automobile cut-through traffic (and
associated high speeds) on local streets.
Negative aspects:
May contribute to congestion in some areas,
shifting traffic to arterial or collector streets.
May impede emergency vehicle access.

Exhibit 83. Permanent forced turn island preventing left turns from a major road to a residential street in San Luis Obispo, CA
Turning Movement Restrictions (Forced
Turn Islands)
Turning movement restrictions can reduce
traffic volumes by sending automobile drivers in
a certain direction. While compliance levels can
be low for turning movement restriction signs
on local streets, several cities integrate turning
movement restrictions into intersection design
through the use of forced turn islands. Forced
turn islands are raised islands constructed
at intersection approaches to physically
discourage certain turning movements.
When planning for turning movement
restrictions, it is essential to consider the
restriction’s context within the surrounding
transportation network. If the restricted turning
movement is part of a route that a large
number of drivers need to take, without a good
alternative, then driver compliance may be low.
Like other devices in this section, forced turn
islands can be installed as a temporary measure
during a test phase using a combination of
tactical tools such as bollards, striping, modular
rubberized components, planter boxes, or
related items. Permanent installations may or
may not include landscaping.
Typical cost: $2,000 - $10,000 for temporary
installation; $20,000 - $50,000+ for permanent
installation.
Positive aspects:
Reduces automobile through traffic on local
streets.
Negative aspects:
Driver non-compliance may be frequent
depending on the context.
May contribute to congestion in some areas,
shifting traffic to arterial or collector streets.
May impede emergency vehicle access.

Typical cost: Depends on the project length
and whether it is included as part of a larger
roadway restriping project.
Positive aspects:
May improve connectivity for bicycle trips.
May eliminate the problem of wrong-way
bicyclists on one-way streets where this has
previously been a concern.
Resulting narrower vehicular lanes can
reduce driving speeds.
Negative aspects:
Drivers may not expect cyclists to be traveling
in the opposing direction. Collision risk may
be higher, depending on the context.

Exhibit 85. Before (above) and after (below) views of a street where lane restriping created optical narrowing (source: Google Street View)
5.3-4: Optical Narrowing
Optical narrowing refers to the addition of
design elements and visual cues that reduce
the perceived width and openness of the
street. On wide and unobstructed roadways,
drivers are more likely to go faster. If features
such as street trees and buildings are closer to
the roadway, with a more pronounced vertical
presence, drivers’ natural inclination is to slow
down. The same is true for narrower travel
lanes, which have been shown to bring about a
reduction in speed.
Right-sized Travel Lanes
Multiple studies have shown that narrower lanes
result in lower traffic speeds without negatively
impacting safety. It has become a best practice
in roadway design to opt for 10- to 11-foot travel
lanes over 12-foot (or wider) lanes on local
streets due to the positive effect on speed and
safety. In some cases, excess roadway width
can be repurposed to make room for bicycle
lanes and/or buffer space.
Typical cost: Depends on the scope of the
restriping project.
Positive aspects:
Promotes slower, more attentive driving.
May create space for bike lanes, buffer
zones, or wider sidewalks, encouraging
active transportation.
Negative aspects:
May impede access for large vehicles,
including emergency vehicles. The context of
the roadway should be considered.

Vertical features closer to the roadway, such as
trees, hedges, or buildings, are associated with
lower traffic speeds. These visual cues cause
drivers to slow down. Trees are often planted
along medians and in the buffer zones between
the roadway and the sidewalk to improve
neighborhood aesthetics.
In addition to vegetation, other features closer
to the roadway, such as buildings and onstreet parking, are associated with lower traffic speeds.
Typical cost: Depends on project scope and
features.
Positive aspects:
Promotes slower, more attentive driving.
Street trees and shrubbery can improve
street aesthetics.
Associated with improved air quality,
reduction of urban heat island effects,
reduced stormwater runoff, and benefits to
mental health and wellbeing.
Negative aspects:
Landscaping and trees must be maintained.
Overgrown vegetation can block sight lines
for road users.
Root upheaval can damage sidewalks.

5.3-5: Traffic Control Devices
The following devices consist of signage and
striping that can contribute to calming traffic
on Class III bicycle facilities and help to create
safer multimodal streets.
Speed Feedback Signs
Speed feedback signs use radar to detect a
vehicle’s speed and display it to the driver in
real-time, encouraging them to slow down by
raising awareness of their speed relative to the
limit, often flashing or showing a “Slow Down”
message when a driver is speeding.
Many cities deploy mobile speed feedback
signs on trailers, moving them around to
target different locations on a rotational basis.
Speed feedback signs can also be installed
permanently on standard sign posts.
Typical cost: $2,500 to $5,000 per sign.
Positive aspects:
Does not physically slow emergency vehicles.
May be installed permanently or on a
rotational basis.
Can record speed and volume data for use
in studies.
Negative aspects:
May require a power source (or in the case of
solar powered signs, may not function well in
shady areas).
Each sign is only effective for one direction
of travel.

Exhibit 88. Example of a bicycle box in San Luis Obispo, CA Bicycle Boxes
Bicycle boxes are designated, typically greenpainted areas at the head of a traffic lane (or multiple lanes) at a signalized intersection. They
increase cyclist visibility, reduce the likelihood
of “right-hook” collisions, and allow cyclists to
clear intersections safely ahead of automobile
traffic.
In addition to vegetation, other features closer
to the roadway, such as buildings and onstreet parking, are associated with lower traffic speeds.
Typical cost: $5,000, often installed as part of a
larger restriping project.
Positive aspects:
Enhances cyclist visibility.
Reduces the likelihood of automobile-bicycle
conflicts, especially for turning movements.
May encourage bicycling and increase
cyclist confidence, especially in high-traffic
areas.
May also improve conditions for pedestrians
by reducing automobile encroachment into
crosswalks.
Negative aspects:
Drivers can be confused about who has the
right-of-way, especially if right turns on red
are allowed.
May impact lines of sight if not designed
correctly.
Education and enforcement may be
necessary to increase proper use.

Although bicycles are generally permitted
on streets except where they are specifically
prohibited (such as on freeways), shared lane
markings emphasize the fact that the street
is shared and help to establish a multimodal
environment. Typical “sharrows” show the
bicycle and chevron design illustrated on the
left in Exhibit 89. Green-backed sharrows have
become widespread in recent years. Some
communities have used customized shared lane
markings, such as in the example from San Luis
Obispo, CA, shown in Exhibit 89, emphasizing a
family-friendly bicycling environment.
New shared lane markings are prohibited
by California law on roads with speed limits
above 30 miles per hour. Active Transportation
Program guidelines for project eligibility restrict
shared lane markings to streets with speed
limits of 25 miles per hour or less.
Typical cost: $100 to $300 per marking
Positive aspects:
When placed in the appropriate context
and combined with other traffic calming
measures, sharrows can encourage bicycling
and remind drivers that bikes belong on the
streets.
May contribute to the branding and identity
of streets designated as “bike boulevards” or
similar.
Negative aspects:
On streets with higher speeds or higher
traffic volumes, shared lane markings may
create a false sense of security for bicyclists.
Studies have not shown clear safety benefits.

City of Hawthorne
Active Transportation Plan 118
This section contains recommendations for improving pedestrian infrastructure and connectivity in the City of Hawthorne.
6. Pedestrian Recommendations
6.1. Pedestrian Infrastructure Policies
The following city-wide policies relating to pedestrian infrastructure are recommended:
1. Sidewalk Repair: Sidewalks throughout the city need repairs due to tree root upheaval and normal wear and tear. These should be repaired and upgraded whenever feasible.
2. Upgrades of Substandard Sidewalks: Some sidewalks in the city have a clear width of less than 4 feet (considered an absolute minimum in constrained situations). In many cases, right-of-way and other constraints preclude sidewalk expansion. However, when and where it is feasible, these sidewalks should be widened. Sidewalk upgrades should be prioritized based on factors such as need (demonstrated by pedestrian traffic volumes and connecting destinations), available right-of-way, and cost.
3. Sidewalk Gap Closure: Sidewalk gaps should be closed, when and where feasible. Sidewalk gap closure should be prioritized based on factors such as need, available right-of-way, and cost.
4. Removal of Sidewalk Obstacles: Sidewalks throughout the city are partially blocked at various locations by infrastructure such as utility poles, signposts, fire hydrants, electrical boxes, and overgrown vegetation. The City should remove these obstacles whenever feasible, especially during roadway or sidewalk reconstruction projects, in order to maintain a minimum clear passage width of 4 feet (for constrained scenarios; a width of 5 feet is preferred). Sidewalk obstacle removal should be prioritized based on need, feasibility, and cost, recognizing that utility relocation can be complex.
5. Trash Collection: Trash collection practices should include expeditious removal of large trash items that block sidewalks (such as discarded furniture) and enforcement of the applicable regulations.
6. Leading Pedestrian Intervals: Signal timing should be modified to incorporate leading pedestrian intervals (LPIs) into the signal cycle where the need has been identified.
7. Pedestrian Countdown Signal Heads: Countdown heads should be installed at any intersections that are still lacking them.
8. Crosswalk Repainting: Faded crosswalks should be proactively restriped to maintain visibility.
9. Crosswalk Improvements: Crosswalk upgrades to Rectangular RapidFlashing Beacons (RRFBs) and Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons should be considered for locations on a case-by-case basis, consistent with best practices and prevailing guidance.
10. ADA Compliance: Upgrade curb ramps to full ADA compliance wherever they are deficient or lacking.
11. Curb extensions should be installed at intersections where feasible to reduce the pedestrian crossing distance. Intersections with long pedestrian crossing distances should be prioritized, especially on multilane arterials without a median pedestrian refuge.
City of Hawthorne

6.2. Location-Specific Pedestrian Recommendations
1. Explore installation of a mid-block crossing
or traffic signal on Prairie Avenue at the
Costco Business Center. This location has
been repeatedly indicated for pedestrian
improvements in community input.
2. Remove the non-MUTCD-compliant
signage at the crosswalks on Hawthorne
Boulevard instructing pedestrians to avoid
peak hours (as shown in Exhibit 91. These
signs may be confusing to pedestrians.
3. Close the existing sidewalk gaps and
address substandard sidewalks, as listed in

While developing adequate physical infrastructure is essential in enabling and encouraging active transportation, non-infrastructure (systemic or programmatic) actions can further encourage an active transportation-friendly culture by providing additional resources to roadway users. These items can supplement physical infrastructure by placing a spotlight on and reminding community members about active transportation options within the city.
The following non-infrastructure action items by the City of Hawthorne are recommended:
7. Non-Infrastructure
Recommendations
The City of Hawthorne is within the scope of regional and statewide initiatives to encourage active transportation, including statewide advocacy efforts by CalBike and regional programs such as the South Bay Cities Council of Governments Local Travel Network and Sustainable Neighborhoods Strategy (both of which include infrastructure and noninfrastructure components), the Southern California Association of Governments Go Human and Sustainable Communities Program, and Metro’s active transportation and first/last mile planning initiatives.
The City may wish to collaborate with regional and state agencies to help design and adapt their initiatives to meet the specific needs of the community.
7.1. Participate in regional
and statewide initiatives
to encourage active
transportation
7.2. Adopt a Complete Streets
Policy to support and guide the
City’s active transportation
and safety goals
The City of Hawthorne is developing a Complete Streets Policy simultaneously with this Active Transportation Plan. The Complete Streets Policy will codify requirements and set guidelines for future development and policies that ensure proper consideration for all road users. The Complete Streets Policy will supplement this Active Transportation Plan and other plans, policies, and standards adopted by the City.

The Safe Routes to School program is a national initiative established by the nonprofit Safe Routes Partnership. The program is dedicated to promoting walking, biking, rolling, and taking transit as primary means for getting to school. Many California communities have successfully implemented Safe Routes to School programs. A Safe Routes to School Program offers many opportunities to further active transportation use, including:
Teaching students the rules of the road, so they are more prepared to navigate their community using active transportation.
Encouraging and educating students about active modes of getting to school.
Offering opportunities for increased physical activity.
Reducing traffic congestion around schools.
Unlocking additional grant funding opportunities.
The Safe Routes Partnership and the California Active Transportation Resource Center have both published a wealth of resources to aid communities in developing and expanding their own Safe Routes to School programs. These include program and funding guidance for government agencies, parents and school administrators to start and strengthen Safe Routes to School programs in their communities.
7.3. Explore development of a
Safe Routes to School program
7.4. Bicycle, Pedestrian, and
Driver Safety and Campaigns
Safety campaigns help remind all road users of proper etiquette and to abide by local laws. Campaigns can either be catered to specific or multiple roadway users (such as reminding drivers to share the road with bicyclists or to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks). The City can engage key stakeholders to help design and advertise campaigns in ways that meet the specific needs of the community. Stakeholders play an essential role in spreading messaging and may include local advocates, law enforcement officers, business owners, civic leaders, school districts, and community volunteers.
Campaigns should also encourage community members to participate in the conversation. For example, local schools could hold a contest where
7.5. Bicycle Rodeos and Safety
Education
Proper training and education for bicyclists plays an essential role in deterring collisions and encouraging safe riding behavior. Multiple options exist for community bicycle ridership and safety education. Popular options that have been implemented across the country range from “bicycle rodeos” and other bicycle safety programs in K-12 schools, to the Smart Cycling courses offered by the League of American Bicyclists.
Bike rodeos are events designed and dedicated to teaching people (usually children) important bicycle safety skills in a fun and engaging way.
They are typically organized as collaborative efforts by cities, schools, community groups, and law enforcement agencies. Bike rodeos typically include a series of activities in which participants can learn and practice riding skills in a safe, controlled environment. These may include:
Riding in a Straight Line – Learning how to control their bike and maintain a straight path.
Turning and Cornering – Navigating turns or slalom courses to develop control while steering.
Stopping and Braking – Practicing stopping their bike quickly and safely.
Hand Signals – Demonstrating proper hand signals for turning and stopping.
Traffic Rules and Awareness – Practice following traffic signs and roadway rules under simulated, controlled scenarios.
Bike rodeos may also offer services to participants such as bike safety checks and lessons on basic maintenance (including inspecting brakes and tires, ensuring helmets fit properly, checking for reflectors and/or lights, etc.) They can also be used as opportunities to distribute free safety gear such as bike lights, bike locks, helmets, and other visibility aids like reflective clothing for biking or walking at night.
students can design posters or flyers with different safety messages.
These may include reminders to wear safety equipment, proper riding or pedestrian behavior, encouraging vehicles to drive slowly and watch for pedestrians, and more. These can be distributed at community events to inform roadway users about safe behaviors and remind drivers to share the road.

7.6. Demonstration Events for
Active Transportation Projects
Demonstration projects are an interactive way to allow community members to experience new active transportation infrastructure and roadway redesigns first-hand before final adoption and installation. These can be used for proposed installations such as road diets, traffic circles and traffic calming installations, or Class IV protected bicycle facilities.
Demonstration events use temporary materials and quick builds. This helps the City to save money on installations and easily tweak designs, enables community members to give direct feedback, and can raise anticipation and support for new projects.
Demonstration events can be conducted using normal traffic controls or be paired with street closures such as during Open Streets events. In addition, they can be installed for varying lengths of time, at different locations and using multiple designs and materials. Demonstration events should be advertised and scheduled in advance to allow community members adequate time to give feedback.
7.7. Open Streets Events
Open Streets events, such as Los Angeles’s CicLAvia program, temporary close roadways to vehicle traffic, allowing people to reclaim the streets for activities like walking, biking, rolling, and other activities and events.
These events help promote active transportation, foster a stronger sense of community, and allow the City to engage with community members to find ways to make roadways better serve their needs beyond driving.
As stated above, they can also be paired with demonstration events to showcase infrastructure proposals.

1. Methodology for Project
Prioritization
The recommended projects in this plan are prioritized according to the methodology described in this section. Projects are assigned a priority score, as shown in Exhibit 1.
Criteria Points
Project Benefit-Cost Ratio, calculated as follows:
• The benefit is the comprehensive socioeconomic cost of crashes involving active transportation users that have occurred within the project area during the most recent five years for which data are available, multiplied by the Crash Reduction Factor (CRF) for the proposed road safety countermeasure(s). The cost of crashes was calculated using the FHWA’s Crash Costs for Highway Safety Analysis. The CRF was determined from the Crash Modification Factors (CMFs) listed in Exhibit 2.
Between 0 and 4 points (4 points for top quartile,
1 point for bottom quartile, 0 points for projects
with no measured crash reduction benefit)
Proximity to K-12 schools (within ¼ mile of project) 1 point Proximity to public parks (within ¼ mile of project) 1 point Proximity to major transit stops or high-quality transit corridors (within ½ mile of project) •“Major transit stop” means an existing rail or bus rapid transit station or the intersection of two or more bus routes with frequency of service of 20 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods.1 •“High quality transit corridor” means a corridor with fixed route bus service with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours.

Active Transportation Plan 134
4. Maintenance of Active
Transportation Facilities
The annual maintenance costs of the projects recommended in this plan will vary depending on the type of infrastructure and typical lifespan. For planning purposes, the annual maintenance costs for the types of projects recommended in this plan are estimated as follows:
5–10% of the total installation cost for Class IV bike lanes and associated signing and striping elements that have a typical design life of 15 to 20 years. 1–4% of the total installation cost for asphalt shared-use paths and other facilities that have a useful life of roughly 25-30 years.
0.5–1% of the total installation cost for concrete sidewalks and curb ramps, grade-separated crossings, and other infrastructure types that have a useful life of 50 years or more.
Regular active transportation facility maintenance includes sweeping and trash collection, trimming encroaching vegetation, maintaining a smooth pavement and street surface, ensuring that the gutter-to-pavement transition remains relatively flush, and periodic restriping.
The experiences of other cities have shown that in some cases, a standard street sweeper cannot sweep certain bicycle facilities, especially Class IV protected bicycle lanes. According to NACTO standards2
, a minimum clear width of between 6.5 and 7.5 feet is necessary to accommodate typical equipment for street sweeping. In addition to overall width, the swept path of street sweeping equipment should be considered in the design phase since sharp curves can be difficult to maintain with machines and may require manual labor.

Originating Department: Public Works
City Manager: Department Head:
SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION NO. 8599 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HAWTHORNE, CALIFORNIA ADOPTING THE CITY OF HAWTHORNE "COMPLETE STREETS POLICY." RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 8599.
DISCUSSION:
Complete Streets is a transportation approach that integrates safe and convenient travel for all users, regardless of age or ability. The policy aims to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries, reduce collisions, improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, and promote equitable access to transit, schools, parks, and key destinations by creating a safe, equitable, and connected transportation network. It also supports safety, accessibility, and mobility goals while strengthening eligibility for state and federal transportation grant funding.
Adoption of the Complete Streets Policy will provide a framework for staff when developing and implementing transportation improvements, including roadway rehabilitation, capital improvement projects, and grant-funded infrastructure work. It establishes consistent project review, increase accountability and opens doors to more grant funding. The policy does not mandate specific roadway designs but ensures multimodal considerations are evaluated and incorporated where feasible and appropriate.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN:
The Economic Development Strategic Plan emphasizes infrastructure investment, quality of life, and business-friendly policies as drivers of sustainable economic growth. The Complete Streets Policy supports these objectives by enhancing accessibility, supporting business attraction and retention, encouraging sustainable development, and leveraging grant funding.
FISCAL IMPACT:

City of Hawthorne Complete Streets Policy (Draft) 2
Introduction
The concept of “Complete Streets” refers to an approach to roadway design that accommodates all users, regardless of age or ability. Rather than describing a single street type, it is a framework that integrates safe access for everyone into every stage of development—including planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance. Depending on context, this may include features such as sidewalks, bike lanes, bus lanes, curb extensions, and pedestrian signals.
By adopting this Policy, the City of Hawthorne seeks to ensure that all roadway projects are designed to serve users across all modes of travel. This effort builds on existing initiatives, including the City’s Active Transportation Plan (ATP) and Safety Action Plan, to guide transportation network development and improve access to funding for planning and implementation.
The Policy draws on best practices from the National Complete Streets Coalition (NCSC), an initiative of Smart Growth America, as well as guidance from organizations such as NACTO, AASHTO, the U.S.
Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, and Caltrans. It also reflects relevant legislation, including California’s Complete Streets Act (AB 1358).
Development of the Policy was a collaborative and iterative process involving extensive stakeholder and community input. A steering committee, whose members also oversaw the development of the ATP, helped ensure consistency between the two initiatives. Public engagement included pop-up tables at citywide events and updates through an interactive website, resulting in a Policy shaped by community feedback both in person and online.
The Complete Streets Policy was adopted on April 28, 2026 by Resolution 8599 of the Hawthorne City Council.
City of Hawthorne Complete Streets Policy (Draft) 3
1. Intent and Vision
1.1 Complete Streets Policy Intent
As stated in the City of Hawthorne Safety Action Plan (adopted by Resolution No. 8521 on April 22, 2025), the City is committed to achieving zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2050, aligning with the regional Vision Zero goals set by Caltrans and SCAG. By establishing clear goals and implementing targeted mitigation measures, the City aims to proactively enhance safety for all road users—including pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists—and reduce preventable crashes across the community.
The Complete Streets Policy both supports and goes beyond these safety goals by creating a complete, connected, multimodal network that enhances comfort and quality of life for all users. The Policy also fosters economic development, creates inviting public spaces, enhances resilience and sustainability, improves environmental quality, and contributes to the health and well-being of all residents.
Policy 1.1 This Policy serves as a directive to the City’s staff and decision-makers to accommodate all transportation system users, to the extent feasible, throughout the planning, design, operation, and maintenance phases of transportation projects.
1.2 Complete Streets Vision Statement
Policy 1.2
Hawthorne will strategically use its resources to plan, design, build, and maintain a well-connected, multimodal network of Complete Streets, enabling people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to safely, comfortably, and enjoyably travel by all modes. These include, but are not limited to, walking, bicycling, other active transportation, transit, and driving, allowing users to reach destinations throughout the city.
1.3 Definitions
Complete Streets are as streets that accommodate all users of all ages and abilities.
Underserved communities are populations that tend to face systemic barriers to mobility. Geographically, these are defined as communities where the median household income is less than 80% of the statewide median, or communities among the most disadvantaged 25% in the state according to the California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool 4.0 (CalEnviroScreen 4.0), as per ATP program guidelines.1
Vulnerable road users are non-motorized or unprotected road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users, motorcyclists, and others not protected by the body of a car or comparable outside shield.

2.Diverse Users and Equity
The City of Hawthorne is committed to designing, operating, and maintaining its transportation system in ways that promote safe, equitable, comfortable, and convenient travel for people of all ages, abilities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. This commitment places particular emphasis on vulnerable users and those in underinvested and underserved communities. To achieve this:
Policy 2.1
The roadway network within the city, to the extent feasible, will provide safe access and mobility for all road users. These users include, but are not limited to, pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit riders, emergency responders, transporters of commercial goods, motorists, and freight providers.
The City also recognizes that children, seniors, and persons with disabilities often require additional accommodations as opposed to other users. As such:
Policy 2.2 Roadway facilities and street design shall be designed and constructed in a contextsensitive manner that considers the needs of all transportation users.
The City of Hawthorne is committed to using the Complete Streets approach to advance transportation equity and investment in the most underserved communities. This City will also prioritize projects and roadway designs that serve the most vulnerable users of the transportation network. These populations include low-income individuals, people of color, those with limited English proficiency, older adults, children, youth, people with disabilities, neighborhoods with historic disinvestment, and people living in households without access to a private automobile.
City of Hawthorne Complete Streets Policy (Draft) 5
3. Applicability
Policy 3.1
This Complete Streets Policy applies to all transportation projects undertaken by, or under the authority or supervision of the City of Hawthorne, for the improvement of any street or public right-of-way (ROW). This includes new construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, resurfacing, maintenance, and street projects related to land subdivision or redevelopment.
Policy 3.2 This Complete Streets Policy applies to all project phases, including planning, programming, design, engineering, acquisition of land, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, retrofitting, resurfacing, and operations.
Policy 3.3
Safety and mobility for vulnerable road users shall be prioritized in planning, project scoping, design, implementation, and maintenance. Accommodation for users of all modes of transportation shall be provided during construction or repair work to ensure safe use of the roadway.
This Policy directs City of Hawthorne Public Works Department staff to evaluate and guide all private development and redevelopment projects, and to require connected pedestrian and bicycle access, as well as ADA-compliant facilities, within each development and its connections to and from the surrounding transportation system as conditions of project approval. The Policy also encourages interagency coordination between all departments to plan and implement Complete Streets elements.
Policy 3.4 The City of Hawthorne requires all agencies over which it has permitting authority to comply with this Policy.
At a minimum, agencies shall ensure that projects do not adversely affect existing multimodal travel conditions or future opportunities for multimodal facilities, as appropriate in context. These include, but are not limited to, power utilities, gas utilities, communications utilities, and service contractors.
City of Hawthorne Complete Streets Policy (Draft) 6
4. Exceptions
The City of Hawthorne is committed to implementing this Policy in all projects and their development phases to the maximum extent feasible. However, it is essential to recognize the following:
Policy 4.1
Context-sensitive technical deviations, exceptions, or variations from this Complete Streets Policy may be requested and granted for a specific project under those conditions where it may be inappropriate or infeasible to provide facilities for nonautomobile modes. Such situations include:
Limited-access roads: This Policy does not apply to limited-access facilities where bicyclists and pedestrians are prohibited by law. In such cases, alternative accommodations shall be provided for bicyclists and pedestrians through parallel facilities and safe, comfortable crossings at interchanges, to maintain connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods and activity centers.
Ordinary maintenance: This Policy does not apply to routine maintenance, such as mowing, cleaning, sweeping, pothole filling, slurry seal projects, or concrete joint repair.
Prohibitive benefit-cost ratios: Exceptions can be made if the cost of accommodating the needs of a particular user group for the transportation project would be more than 10% of the total project cost.
Policy 4.2 Any exception from the requirements of this Complete Streets Policy for a specific roadway project must be approved by the Complete Streets Technical Review Team.
Further appeals to exceptions shall be reviewed at the discretion of City Council.
Policy 4.3 Documentation of the reason for the exception, and supporting data and correspondence, shall be made publicly available.
City of Hawthorne Complete Streets Policy (Draft) 7
5. Coordination
The City of Hawthorne recognizes that implementation of the Complete Streets Policy requires proper coordination with private developers and other jurisdictions and agencies whose projects will impact transportation in the public right-of-way within the city. To achieve this:
Policy 5.1
The City will work with relevant agencies and municipalities to ensure compliance with this Policy for projects within the City’s jurisdiction. This includes reviewing all relevant plans for inclusion of Complete Streets elements. The City will pursue planning and funding opportunities with surrounding jurisdictions to expand and connect its Complete Streets network.
Policy 5.2
For projects within the City of Hawthorne's jurisdiction that are led, funded, or controlled in whole or in part by another jurisdiction or agency, the City of Hawthorne shall coordinate with that agency, to the maximum extent possible, to promote a consistent Complete Streets approach and to maximize opportunities for network expansion and multimodal connectivity. Coordination between the City and associated agencies shall occur throughout the entirety of the project.
Policy 5.3
Private developers shall comply with this Complete Streets Policy and incorporate Complete Streets principles, best practices, and designs into projects, to the extent feasible and appropriate, that include the following (but are not limited to):
Constructing, reconstructing, widening, reconfiguring, restriping, or otherwise modifying streets or facilities within the public right-of-way. Frontage improvements within or adjacent to the public right-of-way. The creation or modification of private streets or internal circulation routes intended to function as public-facing access.
Policy 5.4
Permit applications for private development shall demonstrate compliance with this Policy by outlining design features and efforts to accommodate all transportation users to the extent feasible. The City shall require compliance with this Policy as a condition of approval for plans and permit applications, with documents to be reviewed by a City-designated compliance officer or review body.
City of Hawthorne Complete Streets Policy (Draft) 8
6.Design Guidance
Policy 6.1
By adopting this Policy, the City of Hawthorne directs its staff to incorporate and follow current and evolving Complete Streets planning, design, and implementation best practices into the planning, engineering, construction, and operation of all applicable transportation projects (as defined in Section 3), as well as into ongoing evaluations of engineering design guidelines, land use policies, and code requirements.
This utilization of the latest and best practices serves to firmly establish Complete Streets principles as an integral part of the City of Hawthorne’s planning, design, and implementation processes.
Best practices may include, but are not limited to, the latest editions of the following:
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities
The AASHTO Guide for Planning Design and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Highway Design Manual Caltrans Design Information Bulletin 94: Complete Streets: Contextual Design Guidance Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide FHWA Incorporating On-Road Bicycle Networks into Resurfacing Projects Report Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares: A Context Sensitive Approach

USDOT Achieving Multimodal Networks: Applying Design Flexibility & Reducing Conflicts Other key planning documents relevant to the City of Hawthorne, including but not limited to the Active Transportation Plan, Road Safety Action Plan, and General Plan.
City of Hawthorne Complete Streets Policy (Draft) 9
7. Land Use and Context-Sensitivity
The Complete Streets approach is not a “one-size-fits-all" solution. It does not mean that every street will require the same elements to accommodate all modes of transportation. Implementation of Complete Streets design elements must be done in a context-sensitive manner that considers the community, existing and future land uses, relevant trip origins and destinations, transportation needs, and the street’s function within the surrounding transportation network.
There is an inherent connection between land use and transportation. Transportation facilities and investments influence connectivity, development, and neighborhood character. In turn, land use and development patterns affect travel behavior and influence which transportation modes are appealing, accessible, and convenient. Therefore, at the municipal level, land use decisions and transportation decisions should be made in synergy with each other to achieve effective implementation of this Complete Streets Policy.
To support the intent of the Complete Streets Policy, the City shall take the following actions:
Policy 7.1 Integrate land use and transportation planning Ensure that transportation projects align with current and projected land uses, including residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. Prioritize multimodal connections in areas identified for redevelopment, densification, or transit-oriented development, including urban nodes, regional centers, and corridors served by high-capacity or frequent transit. Promote walkable, bicycle-friendly, and transit-accessible environments in neighborhoods and commercial districts.
Policy 7.2 Adopt context-sensitive right-of-way design
Develop or update street typologies that are appropriate to the surrounding land uses, density, and cultural and historical contexts. Apply design flexibility so that Complete Streets elements are adapted to existing urban environment constraints, including narrow rights-of-way, highdensity development patterns, and limited expansion opportunities. Incorporate stormwater infrastructure and other sustainability measures appropriate to the local context, including integration with local hydrology and urban drainage systems.
Incorporate utility infrastructure into right-of-way projects as appropriate to the local context.
City of Hawthorne Complete Streets Policy (Draft) 10
Policy 7.4 Update and revise City policies
When land use policies, plans, zoning ordinances and codes, design guidelines, and/or other relevant documents and procedures are created, updated, or revised, the City will incorporate Complete Streets principles to the extent practicable.
Policy 7.5 Promote safety, accessibility, and connectivity Ensure that transportation investments enhance safety and accessibility for all users, including people walking, using micromobility devices, taking transit, or driving.
Prioritize connectivity between key destinations, such as schools, parks, mobility hubs, commercial centers, and community services. Evaluate projects with consideration for equity and environmental justice, ensuring that improvements benefit historically underserved and underinvested communities.
Policy 7.6 Monitor implementation and adjust practices
Track how Complete Streets implementation interacts with land use changes, redevelopment projects, and densification.
Adjust street typologies, design standards, and multimodal infrastructure priorities as the City evolves, ensuring continued progress towards meeting safety, accessibility, and sustainability goals.
By applying these principles, the City will ensure that Complete Streets projects respond to the urban context of Hawthorne, support redevelopment and upward growth, and provide safe, accessible, and multimodal transportation options for all residents, workers, and visitors.
City of Hawthorne Complete Streets Policy (Draft) 11

SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION NO. 8600 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HAWTHORNE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING ARTICLE 8.2 (MERIT PAY) OF THE HAWTHORNE MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEE’S ASSOCIATION MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt this Resolution No. 8600.
DISCUSSION:
The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) conducted a final compensation review of a recent retiree, formerly part of the Hawthorne Police Civilian Association. In this audit process, CalPERS found to be deficient the Merit Pay provision (Article 8.2 Merit Pay) in the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Hawthorne and the Hawthorne Police Civilian Association. The Merit Pay provision is identical to the Merit Pay provision (Article 8.2 Merit Pay) in the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Hawthorne and the Hawthorn Municipal Employee’s Association. CalPERS identified that the Merit Pay provision did not adequately set forth the specific conditions of payment (a defined calculation method, terms for disbursement, etc.). (See Gov.
Code, § 20636, Cal. Code Regs., tit. 2, § 571.) In informal discussions, CalPERS indicated that a side letter, retroactive at least three years from the retirement date, could correct the deficiency for this retiree and potentially other similarly situated retirees. The proposed resolution would clarify, but not alter, how the Merit Pay provision operates, helping to ensure the City of Hawthorne is compliant in its reporting of final compensation to CalPERS.

Exhibit A
(replacing existing Section 8.2 - Merit Pay with the following) Section 8.2 - Merit Pay
A. Eligibility
To be eligible for Merit Pay, an employee represented by this MOU must receive six (6) or more out of nine (9) mark ratings of "Exceeds Expectations" on two out of their last three annual performance evaluations. The overall rating category must also be "Exceeds Expectations" to be determined eligible. Additionally, the City must have a surplus of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) at the beginning of the Fiscal Year (July 1). If an employee does not have an employee evaluation on file, the Department Head must submit a Memo of Approval to the Director of Human Resources for action.
An employee may have the Merit Pay removed if they obtain an overall rating category of "Unsatisfactory" in any future annual evaluation or are disciplined for behavior unbecoming of an employee of the City of Hawthorne.
Should there be a change to the rating categories as a result of revisions to the City's Employee Evaluation format, the City agrees to a limited reopener to discuss needed adjustments.
Employee evaluations will be due by July 1 of every year. If an employee's annual evaluation is ninety (90) days overdue and they are eligible for Merit Pay, a rating of "Meets and/or Exceeds Expectations" will be required on only two (2) out of the employee's last four (4) annual evaluations.
B. Amount of Merit Pay
Once deemed eligible for Merit Pay, the employee will receive Merit Pay equal to four percent (4%) of their base pay per pay period. For purposes of this Section, the employee’s base pay refers to the number of hours in paid status on each paycheck multiplied by the hourly rate of the employee. The hourly rate is derived by multiplying the employee’s monthly salary at their applicable step (see the City’s Monthly Salary schedules attached to this MOU) by 12, then dividing by 2,080. If the employee’s base pay changes, their Merit Pay will adjust accordingly.
The Merit Pay award shall first be disbursed in the pay period after the City receives a personnel action form indicating Merit Pay eligibility (no retroactive payment will be issued).
The Merit Pay will continue to be disbursed in this manner for each subsequent pay period until the sooner of (A) revocation of Merit Pay in compliance with this Policy, or (B) discontinuation of employment with the City.
The provisions contained in this Section shall not be cumulative. For example, an employee who receives six (6) or more “Exceeds Expectations” mark ratings on their last six (6) annual performance evaluations will NOT be eligible for any increase in the amount of Merit Pay already being disbursed.
Example:
Effective date of Merit Pay Eligibility = 06/30/2025
Finance receives Personnel Action Form = 07/01/2025
Merit Pay will be applied to the following pay period: 07/12/2025 – 07/25/2025 AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.

APPROVED AS TO FORM:
DAVID CACERES, City Attorney
City of Hawthorne, California
Exhibit A
(replacing existing Section 8.2 - Merit Pay with the following) Section 8.2 - Merit Pay
A. Eligibility
To be eligible for Merit Pay, an employee represented by this MOU must receive six (6) or more out of nine (9) mark ratings of "Exceeds Expectations" on two out of their last three annual performance evaluations. The overall rating category must also be "Exceeds Expectations" to be determined eligible. Additionally, the City must have a surplus of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) at the beginning of the Fiscal Year (July 1). If an employee does not have an employee evaluation on file, the Department Head must submit a Memo of Approval to the Director of Human Resources for action.
An employee may have the Merit Pay removed if they obtain an overall rating category of "Unsatisfactory" in any future annual evaluation or are disciplined for behavior unbecoming of an employee of the City of Hawthorne.
Should there be a change to the rating categories as a result of revisions to the City's Employee Evaluation format, the City agrees to a limited reopener to discuss needed adjustments.
Employee evaluations will be due by July 1 of every year. If an employee's annual evaluation is ninety (90) days overdue and they are eligible for Merit Pay, a rating of "Meets and/or Exceeds Expectations" will be required on only two (2) out of the employee's last four (4) annual evaluations.
B. Amount of Merit Pay
Once deemed eligible for Merit Pay, the employee will receive Merit Pay equal to four percent (4%) of their base pay per pay period. For purposes of this Section, the employee’s base pay refers to the number of hours in paid status on each paycheck multiplied by the hourly rate of the employee. The hourly rate is derived by multiplying the employee’s monthly salary at their applicable step (see the City’s Monthly Salary schedules attached to this MOU) by 12, then dividing by 2,080. If the employee’s base pay changes, their Merit Pay will adjust accordingly.
The Merit Pay award shall first be disbursed in the pay period after the City receives a personnel action form indicating Merit Pay eligibility (no retroactive payment will be issued).
The Merit Pay will continue to be disbursed in this manner for each subsequent pay period until the sooner of (A) revocation of Merit Pay in compliance with this Policy, or (B) discontinuation of employment with the City.
The provisions contained in this Section shall not be cumulative. For example, an employee who receives six (6) or more “Exceeds Expectations” mark ratings on their last six (6) annual performance evaluations will NOT be eligible for any increase in the amount of Merit Pay already being disbursed.
Example:
Effective date of Merit Pay Eligibility = 06/30/2025
Finance receives Personnel Action Form = 07/01/2025
Merit Pay will be applied to the following pay period: 07/12/2025 – 07/25/2025 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

DISCUSSION:
As an “Entitlement Grantee,” the City of Hawthorne (City) receives an annual allocation of federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Programs. These programs are designed to principally benefit low- and moderate-income residents by supporting activities that provide decent housing, create suitable living environments, and expand economic opportunities. To continue receiving these funds, HUD requires the City to prepare a series of planning documents, including a Five-Year Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan. Collectively, these documents establish the City’s priorities for the use of CDBG and HOME funds and guide the implementation of eligible activities.
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan
The Consolidated Plan presents a comprehensive analysis of the City’s housing and community development needs and establishes a framework for the use of CDBG and HOME funds over a fiveyear period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030. Based on community engagement, data analysis, and consultation with stakeholders, the Consolidated Plan identifies seven high-priority needs, which will be addressed through seven strategic goals. These goals are accompanied by quantifiable outcome targets for the five-year period, as shown in the table below.

Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary
Introduction
The City of Hawthorne has developed the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan to guide the strategic investment of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds. As required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Consolidated Plan provides a comprehensive assessment of local housing and community development needs and establishes priorities, objectives, and strategies for addressing these needs over a five-year period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030.
Each year, the City receives CDBG and HOME funds through a formula-based allocation from HUD. These funds are awarded to non-profit organizations, for-profit entities, and public agencies to support a variety of activities that align with the City’s Consolidated Plan goals and address the high priority needs of low- and moderate-income residents.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The CDBG program, established under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, is a flexible federal funding source designed to address a wide range of housing and community development needs. HUD evaluates the City’s Consolidated Plan and program performance based on three primary objectives: providing decent housing, creating suitable living environments, and expanding economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income households. To qualify for CDBG funding, each activity must meet one of the following national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons
• Prevent or eliminate slums and blight
• Address an urgent community development need (usually the result of a natural disaster or public health emergency)
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME)
The HOME program, established under the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, is the largest federal program dedicated to affordable housing development. Designed to increase the supply of safe and affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households, the HOME program is often implemented in collaboration with non-profit housing developers, public agencies, and private entities. Eligible activities supported by HOME funds include new construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of affordable housing, homebuyer assistance programs, and tenant-based rental assistance.

Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan needs assessment Overview The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan is grounded in a comprehensive, data-driven needs assessment and market analysis, combined with insights gathered from residents, City of Hawthorne – 3 – Consolidated Plan
community organizations, and other local stakeholders. This approach ensures that CDBG and HOME funds are directed toward high priority needs that align with the City’s goals.
Based on this, the City has identified six high priority needs, which will be addressed through six goals over the five-year period. These goals establish a clear framework for the allocation of CDBG and HOME funds which ensures that federal investments produce measurable and sustainable outcomes. Each goal is tied to specific outcome indicators which allow the City to track progress, assess performance, and evaluate the impact of HUD-funded activities. The following table summarizes the goals, priority needs, and expected five-year outcomes.

City of Hawthorne – 4 – Consolidated Plan
April 2026 Amendment
The City of Hawthorne intends to utilize a portion of its CDBG allocation during the 2026- 2027 program year to fund a Commercial Façade Improvement program in an effort to revitalize the City’s business community. As such, this amendment proposes to add an Economic Development Opportunities goal to the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan to address this high priority need and facilitate said program.
Commercial façade improvements were identified as a high priority based on feedback from the local business community and the City’s interest in strengthening neighborhood commercial districts beyond the downtown core. By addressing conditions that contribute to blight and enhancing the physical environment of commercial corridors, the City can leverage CDBG resources to support local economic development, improve access to goods and services, and create a more vibrant commercial environment that benefits lowand moderate-income residents.
City of Hawthorne – 5 – Consolidated Plan
Evaluation of past performance
Over the 2020-2024 program years, the City successfully utilized CDBG and HOME funds to implement impactful housing and community development programs. All projects and activities included in the 2024-2025 Action Plan are underway and the final accomplishments will be reported as part of the City’s Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). From 2020-2023, the investment of HUD funds, in combination with state and local resources, enabled the City and its partners to achieve the following:
• Public Services: Various non-profit organizations provided a range of services which assisted 1,245 Hawthorne residents.
• Public Facilities & Infrastructure Improvements: The City completed its alley reconstruction project which benefited 14,960 residents by providing them access to suitable alleyways that are used to access their properties and critical services such as the DMV.
• Affordable Housing Preservation: The City of Hawthorne’s Housing Rehabilitation Program completed 17 projects to address deficient housing conditions and preserve the existing housing stock that is affordable to low- and moderate-income homeowners. In addition, the City renovated 18 rental units that are affordable to and occupied by low-income tenants.
• Fair Housing: The Fair Housing Foundation provided 810 residents with fair housing and landlord-tenant mediation services.
• COVID-19 Response: The City utilized CDBG-CV funds 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 component 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.
These efforts resulted in meaningful impacts for Hawthorne residents, particularly low- and moderate-income households. The successes and lessons learned from these programs serve as the foundation for the strategies outlined in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.
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), businesses, 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 City of Hawthorne – 6 – Consolidated Plan
families, youth and/or other persons with special needs. Information supplied by these community stakeholders, together with the data supplied by HUD resulted in a wellinformed planning document 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 (CPP), residents and stakeholders were able to participate in the development of the 2025-2029 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 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.
Summary of public comments
As required by HUD regulations, all public comments received during the development of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025-2026 Action Plan are summarized in section PR15 of this Plan as well as Appendix A.
Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them The City considered and incorporated all feedback received throughout the planning process. No public comments were disregarded.
Summary
The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan establishes a clear framework for the strategic use of CDBG and HOME funds to address high-priority community needs. All applications for funding through the City’s Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process must align with at least one of the six Strategic Plan goals and their corresponding measurable objectives.
For the 2025-2026 program year, the City will allocate $1,349,498 in CDBG and $2,360,062.64 in HOME toward eligible activities designed to provide suitable affordable housing and improve the quality of life of its low- and moderate-income residents.

PR-10 Consultation
Introduction
The City of Hawthorne conducted a comprehensive consultation process to ensure that the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan reflects the needs and priorities of residents, service providers, and community stakeholders. In compliance with 24 CFR Part 91, the City engaged a wide range of public and private agencies, regional planning entities, and service providers that support low- and moderate-income residents, special needs populations, and individuals experiencing homelessness. The goal of this process was to enhance coordination among local government agencies, non-profits, housing developers, businesses, and service organizations to create a cohesive strategy for improving housing affordability, public services, public facilities, and infrastructure. To facilitate the consultation process, the City solicited feedback through the following methods:
• Community Survey (web‐based and paper)
• Community meetings
• Stakeholder consultations
• Public hearings
• Receipt of written and oral 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 the CDBG and HOME programs. As a result, during the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community-focused programs. Outreach efforts included surveys, invitations to community meetings, and follow-up interviews where appropriate.
The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the upcoming five-year planning period with these organizations and agencies. The City will reinforce these partnerships through the implementation of the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process for CDBG and HOME funds each year and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients.
City of Hawthorne – 9 – Consolidated 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 The Los Angeles County Continuum of Care (CoC) is comprised of a network of public, private, faith-based, 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 faithbased 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 faithbased 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 regularly consults with the CoC to identify needs in the jurisdiction and its objectives to address the needs of different homeless populations, including chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth, and persons at risk of homelessness. The City continues to coordinate with the CoC to clarify existing needs and objectives and identify opportunities for collaboration 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 Although not a direct Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) entitlement community, the City consulted with a number of housing, social services, governmental, and other entities involved in housing and community development in the City. Through these consultations, the City identified the holistic needs of the community, including those for extremely lowincome households and homeless persons and how the City can continue to effectively coordinate with regional homeless service providers to best meet the needs of these populations. The CoC was consulted to discuss performance standards, outcome evaluation methodologies, and policies and procedures for the use of HMIS.

The Housing Department works with subrecipients of CDBG and HOME 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 subrecipients, social service agencies, businesses, and housing developers to ensure that where there are job opportunities for low-income individuals 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.

PR-15 Citizen Participation
Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal setting The City of Hawthorne conducted a comprehensive citizen participation process to ensure that the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan accurately reflects community needs and priorities.
The public engagement process was designed in accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) and HUD regulations (24 CFR 91.105), ensuring that residents, local organizations, and community stakeholders had meaningful opportunities to participate in shaping the City's housing and community development strategies.
The Department of Housing led outreach efforts, emphasizing broad public engagement, particularly among low- and moderate-income residents, individuals with disabilities, racial and ethnic minorities, non-English-speaking populations, and public housing residents.
The City also actively consulted with local and regional institutions, businesses, developers, non-profit and faith-based organizations, the Continuum of Care (CoC), and philanthropic entities to ensure a coordinated and holistic approach to addressing housing and community development needs.
To identify and prioritize community needs, the City developed and distributed a survey to gather input on housing, community, and economic development needs. The survey was available in English and Spanish, accessible online and in paper format, and posted at various public facilities to maximize accessibility.
The City hosted three community meetings on September 26, 2024, September 27, 2024, and November 19, 2024 where residents and stakeholders participated in interactive discussions and provided feedback on local housing and community development needs.
In compliance with 24 CFR 91.105(e)(1)(ii), the City conducted three public hearings at different stages of the planning process. The first public hearing was convened on September 10, 2024 and focused on reviewing program performance. A draft of the 2023- 2024 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) was made available for public review from August 26, 2024 to September 10, 2024, but no public comments were received. The second public hearing on October 22, 2024 allowed residents to voice their priorities for funding allocation and the strategies the City should pursue in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. No public comments were received.
Subsequently, the City made the draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025-2026 Action Plan available for public review and comment from March 21, 2025, to April 22, 2025.
Residents were invited to review the draft documents and to attend the Public Hearing on April 22, 2025, or submit written comments concerning the housing and community development needs, proposed projects and activities, as well as proposed strategies and actions for affirmatively furthering fair housing.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The Needs Assessment section of the Consolidated Plan examines the housing, homelessness, non-homeless special needs, and non-housing community development needs of the City of Hawthorne. This analysis serves as the foundation for understanding the City’s most pressing challenges and prioritizing the allocation of resources to address these needs over the next five years.
The housing needs assessment evaluates the prevalence of housing problems experienced by households across different income levels, tenures, and household types. It also identifies disproportionate housing needs among racial and ethnic groups and highlights the specific needs of public housing residents.
The homeless needs assessment describes the nature and extent of sheltered and unsheltered homelessness to inform the City’s strategy to address homelessness.
The non-homeless special needs assessment focuses on residents who require supportive housing and services due to factors such as age, disability, and other vulnerabilities. These populations include elderly residents, individuals with disabilities, those recovering from substance use disorders, persons living with HIV/AIDS, and survivors of domestic violence.
The non-housing community development needs assessment evaluates the demand for public facilities, infrastructure improvements, and public services that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income residents.
Methodology
To assess community needs, the City of Hawthorne utilized a combination of quantitative data and qualitative input obtained through robust community engagement efforts. The key sources of data include:
• American Community Survey (ACS), 2016-2020 5-year estimates • Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), 2016-2020 5-year estimates • 2024 Point-In-Time (PIT) Homeless Count
• State of California Department of Justice (2022)
• National Crime Victimization Survey (2022)
• Consultations with local stakeholders, service providers, and housing authorities • Feedback from residents through public meetings and surveys This report utilizes the 2016-2020 ACS and CHAS 5-year estimates as they are the most current data sets supplied through HUD’s eCon Planning Suite.
City of Hawthorne – 29 – Consolidated Plan
Consolidated Plan Survey for Residents and Stakeholders The City of Hawthorne conducted a needs assessment survey to complement quantitative data with community input. The survey, available online in English and Spanish, was distributed through email and social media channels. A total of 43 residents and 29 organizations participated, providing valuable insights into priority needs across public facilities, infrastructure improvements, housing, public services, and economic development. These results are integrated throughout the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis of Consolidated Plan to ensure alignment with community priorities.
City of Hawthorne – 30 – Consolidated Plan
NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment
Summary of Housing Needs
When evaluating the housing needs of residents in the City of Hawthorne, the Consolidated Plan describes housing needs according to income level, tenure, and household types. This analysis is based on ACS and CHAS data, summarized in Tables 6-13 below.
An overview of the number of households by income level and household type is provided in Table 7. Household types include small families (2-4 related members), large families (5 or more related members), elderly households (at least one person aged 62 and older), and households with young children (at least one person aged 6 and under). Income levels correspond with HUD Adjusted Median Family Income (HAMFI), or Area Median Income (AMI), defined as follows:
• Extremely low-income (0-30 percent of AMI): 6,680 households • Low-income (31-50 percent of AMI): 5,050 households
• Moderate-income (51-80 percent of AMI): 6,900 households • Middle-income (81-100 percent of AMI): 3,060 households • Above Middle (>100 percent of AMI): 6,370 households
Tables 8-13 detail the housing problems faced by households, categorized by tenure (renter or owner), income level, and household type. Housing problems are assessed based on cost burdens, overcrowding, and substandard housing conditions, as defined by HUD:
• Cost Burden: Households spending more than 30 percent of their gross income on housing costs (rent plus utilities for renters, and mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and utilities for owners). Severe cost burdens occur when households spend more than 50 percent of their gross income on housing costs. • Overcrowding: Households with more than 1 person per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half-rooms. Severe overcrowding occurs when households have more than 1.5 persons per room.
• Substandard Housing Conditions: Households lacking complete kitchen and/or plumbing facilities.
Between 2010 to 2020, the City’s population fell by 1 percent, from 86,565 to 85,410, while the number of households decreased by 4 percent, from 29,160 to 28,055. During this same period, the median income rose by 30 percent, from $44,504 to $57,849. Despite these economic gains, housing costs have risen more rapidly than income, making it increasingly difficult for many residents to secure adequate and affordable housing.
Of the 18,630 low- and moderate-income households (≤ 80 percent of AMI) in the City of Hawthorne, 14,350 households (77 percent) experience at least one housing problem, and 10,435 households (56 percent) are affected by one or more severe housing problems.
Housing cost burdens are the most prevalent housing problem, particularly among extremely low-income renters (≤ 30 percent of AMI). Of the 6,680 extremely low-income households, 5,975 are cost burdened, with 1,435 of these facing severe cost burdens.
City of Hawthorne – 31 – Consolidated Plan
Renters are disproportionately impacted, with 61 percent (880 households) experiencing severe cost burdens, compared to 39 percent of homeowners (555 households). Singleperson households and elderly households represent the largest share of renters facing severe cost burdens.
Overcrowding is another significant housing problem, particularly for renters and large families. Among the 4,029 low- and moderate-income households (≤ 80 percent of AMI) that are overcrowded, 96 percent are renters (3,870 households). Large family households that rent are the most affected, accounting for 76 percent (3,065 households) of overcrowded low- and moderate-income households.
Although less common, substandard housing conditions remain a concern, affecting 1,020 renters. Addressing these challenges will require a coordinated and comprehensive approach to expand affordable housing options, preserve existing housing stock, and support vulnerable populations in the City of Hawthorne.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
Based on 2016-2020 ACS data (S2501), the City of Hawthorne has 7,553 single-person households, accounting for approximately 27 percent of all households. Among them, 20 percent are homeowners (1,509 households), while 80 percent are renters (6,044 households). Single-person households face distinct housing challenges, largely stemming from limited earning potential and a shortage of smaller, affordable housing options such as studios and one-bedroom apartments. Rising housing costs relative to their income exacerbates these issues, often leading to housing cost burdens.
Housing cost burdens represent the most pressing issue for single-person households.
Table 10 reveals that 3,195 single-person households (categorized as “other”) experience cost burdens, with renters comprising 96 percent (3,055 households) and homeowners making up the remaining 4 percent (140 households). Severe cost burdens, as shown in Table 11, affect 1,820 single-person households, with renters again representing the majority at 98 percent (1,780 households) and homeowners 2 percent (40 households).
Extremely low- and low-income single-person renters (≤ 50 percent of AMI) are particularly vulnerable to housing instability due to their limited capacity to absorb rising rental costs, unexpected financial emergencies, or other economic pressures. Although single-person homeowners may also experience financial strain, their housing costs tend to be more stable and predictable, making them less susceptible to immediate displacement.
City of Hawthorne – 37 – Consolidated Plan
While single-person households, by definition, do not experience overcrowding, substandard housing conditions remain a concern. Table 8 shows that 1,020 renters lack complete plumbing or kitchen facilities. Although not explicitly broken down by household size, it is reasonable to infer that a portion of single-person households reside in substandard housing conditions.
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.
Families with Disabled Members
According to the 2016-2020 ACS data (S1810), approximately 7,914 individuals in the City of Hawthorne have a disability, representing about 9 percent of the total population. Nearly one third (32 percent or 2,517 residents) of City’s disabled population are 65 and older, demonstrating a strong correlation between age and disability, and highlighting the heightened vulnerability faced by elderly residents with disabilities.
Adults with disabilities encounter unique obstacles to independent living, including limited employment opportunities, high healthcare costs, and the need for housing with accessibility modifications. These factors leave families with disabled members particularly susceptible to housing cost burdens, especially those on fixed incomes or with limited earning potential. Additionally, these households often reside in housing units that lack adequate accessibility features such as ramps, widened doorways, and sensory adaptations, further compounding their housing challenges. Consequently, families with disabled members are more likely to experience at least one housing problem, including cost burdens, overcrowding, or substandard housing.
Survivors of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Survivors of domestic violence and related crimes often face immediate and lifethreatening risks to housing stability. In 2022, the Hawthorne Police Department responded to 419 domestic violence related calls, signaling that housing assistance may be necessary for these households (State of California Department of Justice). However, this figure likely underrepresents the true scale of need, as the 2022 National Crime Victimization Survey indicates that only 53 percent of domestic violence incidents and 21 percent of sexual assaults are reported. Based on these trends, the actual need for housing assistance among survivors is likely much higher.
Survivors fleeing abusive relationships and violent homes face challenges such as loss of economic support, limited access to affordable housing, and the need for safe and stable living arrangements. These factors increase the likelihood of experiencing housing cost burdens and resorting to overcrowded or unsafe housing situations. As a result, this places survivors at elevated risk of homelessness and highlights the need for immediate access to emergency shelters, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing solutions.
City of Hawthorne – 38 – Consolidated Plan
What are the most common housing problems?
The most prevalent housing problem in the City of Hawthorne is housing cost burden, which occurs when households spend more than 30 percent of their gross income on housing expenses. This issue is largely driven by a combination of rising housing costs and slower income growth for many residents. Table 10 reveals that 12,459 low- and moderateincome households (≤ 80 percent of AMI) experience cost burdens. Renters are disproportionately affected, representing 87 percent (10,790 households) of this group, while homeowners make up the remaining 13 percent (1,669 households). Among renters, individuals living alone (3,055 households) and small families (4,920 households) are most significantly impacted. Extremely low-income households (≤ 30 percent of AMI) face the highest prevalence of housing cost burdens, reflecting persistent affordability challenges.
Severe cost burdens, where households spend more than 50 percent of their gross income on housing, impact 4,284 low- and moderate-income households (≤ 80 percent of AMI).
Table 11 shows that 2,455 extremely low- and low-income renters (≤ 50 percent of AMI) are most affected, with single-person households (1,340) and elderly households (1,115) disproportionately impacted. Among homeowners, elderly households face the highest incidence of severe cost burdens, with 384 households impacted. These financial challenges are particularly acute for seniors on fixed incomes, who often struggle to maintain or adapt their homes to meet their evolving needs.
Overcrowding, defined as a household with more than one person per room, is the second most common housing problem in the City. Table 12 indicates that 4,029 low- and moderate-income households (≤ 80 percent of AMI) experience overcrowding, with renters accounting for the majority (96 percent or 3,870 households). Single family renters (3,065 households) are particularly affected. Moreover, it is important to note that overcrowding exclusively impacts other, non-family renters, demonstrating that single-person renters are often compelled to share housing with unrelated individuals to reduce costs. This illustrates how the ongoing shortage of adequately sized housing options that are affordable forces families and individuals to reside in units that fail to meet their spatial needs.
Severe overcrowding, defined as more than 1.5 persons per room, impacts 1,695 low- and moderate-income households (≤ 80 percent of AMI). Table 8 shows this issue is especially pronounced among renters (1,685 households), who are often compelled to share housing with unrelated individuals to reduce housing costs. Overcrowded non-family households (190) being unique to renters only further illustrates the extent of this issue and highlights the challenges caused by the lack of affordable, adequately sized rental housing options.
Substandard housing, characterized by the lack of complete kitchen or plumbing facilities, is less common but remains a concern. Table 8 indicates that 1,020 households citywide are affected, with renters disproportionately impacted as they comprise 100 percent of these cases. Extremely low- and low-income households are particularly at risk, as they are less likely to have the financial means to afford necessary repairs or move to better housing.

Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Of the 18,630 low- and moderate-income households (≤ 80 percent of AMI) in the City of Hawthorne, 14,350 households (77 percent) experience at least one housing problem.
Extremely low- and low-income households (≤ 50 percent of AMI) are the most affected, accounting for 73 percent (10,460 households) of all low- and moderate-income households with housing problems.
Extremely low- and low-income renters (≤ 50 percent of AMI) are particularly impacted by severe housing problems compared to homeowners. Of the 11,730 extremely low- and lowincome households with at least one severe housing problem, 86 percent are renters (10,065 households), while 14 percent are homeowners (1,665 households).
Insights from Table 11 reveal that low- and moderate-income (≤ 80 percent of AMI) renters are over three times as likely to experience severe cost burdens. Of the 4,284 low- and moderate-income households facing severe cost burdens, 78 percent are renters (3,335 households), while 22 percent are homeowners (949 households). Among renters, nonrelated individuals (1,780 households) represent the largest share. For these households, limited financial resources and high housing costs relative to their income result in severe cost burdens. To reduce expenses, unrelated individuals often share undersized units, leading to overcrowded living arrangements.
Overcrowding is another major issue that primarily affects renters. Table 12 indicates that of the 4,029 low- and moderate-income households (≤ 80 percent of AMI) experiencing overcrowding, 96 percent are renters (3,870 households). Single family renters (3,065 households) are particularly at risk, often living in units that are too small to meet their needs or sharing housing to offset high rental costs. These families face additional challenges due to the lack of affordable multi-bedroom housing units, which leads to higher rates of overcrowding as they struggle to find appropriately sized housing within their financial means.
Elderly households and households with disabled members also face distinct challenges related to affordability and accessibility. Many in these groups rely on limited or fixed incomes, such as Social Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), which do not keep pace with the rising cost of living in Hawthorne. For example, in 2024 the maximum SSI payment for an individual was $943 per month, while the average rent for a one-bedroom unit is approximately $1,711. This means that SSI only covers about half of the cost of rent, which increases their likelihood of experiencing cost burdens. Table 7 indicates there are 4,405 low- and moderate-income elderly households, highlighting those that are most vulnerable to severe cost burdens. These financial constraints leave many elderly and disabled homeowners struggling to maintain or adapt their homes to meet their evolving needs, while renters in these groups face added difficulties finding accessible housing units that are also affordable.

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
Low-income individuals and families with children in Hawthorne face significant challenges in maintaining stable housing. The leading indicators of risk for homelessness include income constraints, severe cost burdens, and household type. Households at imminent risk of homelessness are often extremely low-income, relying on fixed incomes or inconsistent wages from part-time or low-wage jobs. Due to these financial constraints, these households frequently experience severe cost burdens, leaving little room for essential expenses like food, transportation, and healthcare. Single-person and single-parent households are particularly vulnerable, as they often lack financial reserves or shared income resources to cover unexpected costs such as medical bills or car repairs, which increase their likelihood of displacement.
According to Table 11, there are 3,360 extremely low- and low-income households (≤ 50 percent of AMI) in the City that experience severe cost burdens, with 73 percent being renters (2,455 households) and 27 percent homeowners (905 households). These renters are especially susceptible to rising rental costs, stagnating wages, and a limited supply of affordable housing. These pressures place many of these households at imminent risk of being evicted. While homeowners also face financial strain, their predictable housing costs make them slightly less vulnerable to immediate displacement.
Families with children, particularly single-parent households, face heightened risks due to limited earning potential and higher overall expenses, including childcare and educationrelated costs. As shown in Table 13, there are 3,000 extremely low- and low-income households with at least one child under six years old, with 93 percent being renters (2,785 households) and 7 percent homeowners (215 households). For these families, even minor financial setbacks, such as reduced work hours or unexpected medical expenses, can lead to eviction and increase their likelihood of entering emergency shelters or becoming unsheltered.
Formerly homeless individuals and families receiving rapid re-housing assistance face ongoing risks of returning to homelessness, especially as their assistance nears termination. While these programs play a vital role in providing short-term relief, they may not fully address the underlying factors that lead to homelessness. Many participants remain financially vulnerable, as they are employed in low-wage or part-time jobs. These households often transition into housing that is affordable only with assistance, leaving them unable to sustain their housing once subsidies end. Barriers such as poor credit, histories of evictions, and a lack of savings further exacerbate their risk of falling back into homelessness without continued support.
City of Hawthorne – 41 – Consolidated Plan
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 City of Hawthorne utilized HUD-defined thresholds for income levels, household types, and housing problems to identify populations at risk of homelessness (as defined at 24 CFR
91.5). Estimates of households meeting these criteria were derived by using the ACS and CHAS data, supplemented by locally available information, to ensure a comprehensive and accurate assessment.
In Hawthorne, extremely low-income renters (≤ 30 percent of AMI) who are severely cost burdened are identified as the population most at-risk of homelessness. These households are particularly vulnerable due to their limited financial resources, which leaves them unable to absorb rising rental costs or handle unexpected financial setbacks. Furthermore, extremely low-income single-parent households and elderly individuals living alone face heightened risks, as these groups often have higher expenses and lack shared income resources to manage emergencies.
This methodology ensures that the operational definition of at-risk populations aligns with HUD guidelines and reflects local housing needs. By adopting a data-driven and localized approach, the City can prioritize resources effectively and develop targeted strategies to mitigate risks for its most vulnerable residents.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
Several housing characteristics are strongly associated with housing instability and an elevated risk of homelessness. These factors include:
1. Income Constraints: Household income is a foundational determinant of housing stability. Extremely low-income households (≤ 30 percent of AMI) face inherent instability due to limited financial resources, often struggling to afford even the least expensive housing in the City’s high-cost market. The shortage of affordable housing exacerbates this issue, compelling many of these households to live in overcrowded or substandard conditions, or pay rents they cannot sustainably afford. These households also frequently lack financial reserves to weather unexpected hardships such as job loss or medical expenses, which leaves them particularly vulnerable to eviction, displacement, and homelessness.
2. Housing Tenure: Renters experience significantly higher rates of housing problems compared to homeowners. The City’s competitive rental market worsens these challenges by exposing renters to rising rents, stringent screening criteria, and limited availability of units. Renters with poor credit histories or prior evictions are disproportionately impacted, leaving them more susceptible to housing instability and homelessness. In contrast, homeowners typically benefit from more predictable housing costs, which reduce their risk of immediate displacement.
3. Household Type: Certain household types encounter unique challenges that elevate their risk of instability. Single-person households, often without financial safety nets or shared income resources, are particularly vulnerable to sudden income shocks or City of Hawthorne – 42 – Consolidated Plan
rising housing costs. This issue is magnified for single-parent households who also face higher childcare costs, which makes maintaining stable housing especially difficult. Elderly residents and individuals with disabilities, especially those on fixed incomes, are also at risk when affordable housing options fail to meet their accessibility needs.
4. Housing Cost Burden: Severely cost burdened households spending more than 50% of their gross monthly income on housing are at heightened risk of instability. These households often struggle to cover basic needs like food, transportation, and healthcare and are particularly vulnerable to eviction or foreclosure when faced with unexpected expenses or income disruptions.
5. Overcrowding: Overcrowded housing conditions are common among low-income households, particularly renters and large families. Economic necessity often forces multiple families or unrelated individuals to share living spaces to offset high housing costs. Overcrowding can strain household dynamics, lower quality of life, and increase the likelihood of displacement due to conflicts or landlord actions.
6. Substandard Housing Conditions: Housing units lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, or those with significant structural issues, contribute to housing instability. Homeowners with limited financial resources may struggle to afford necessary repairs, increasing their risk of displacement if the property becomes uninhabitable. Renters are especially vulnerable, as landlords may fail to address deficiencies, forcing tenants to relocate and destabilizing their housing situation.
Based on these characteristics, extremely low-income renters (≤ 30 percent of AMI) who are severely cost burdened are most at-risk of becoming homeless.
Discussion
Based on this analysis, the most significant housing needs exist for an estimated 4,284 lowand moderate-income households (≤ 80 percent of AMI) who are severely cost burdened, particularly 3,335 renters. Among these households, the 2,455 extremely low- and lowincome renters (≤ 50 percent of AMI) who are severely cost burdened face the greatest risk of housing instability and becoming homeless. These findings emphasize the need to prioritize housing assistance for the most vulnerable populations in Hawthorne, particularly extremely low- and low-income renters that are severely cost burdened.

NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems Introduction
This section evaluates whether specific racial and ethnic groups in the City of Hawthorne experience a disproportionately greater need for housing assistance by analyzing the prevalence of housing problems across various income levels. The analysis compares the rate of housing problems faced by racial and ethnic groups to determine if any group experiences these issues at significantly higher rates than the overall population within the same income category.
According to HUD, a disproportionately greater need exists when a racial or ethnic group experiences housing problems at a rate 10 percentage points or more above the average for all households at the same income level. For example, if 60 percent of all low-income households experience a housing problem, but 70 percent of low-income Hispanic households face the same issue, then low-income Hispanic households would be considered to have a disproportionately greater need.
Tables 14-17 provide information on the number of households experiencing housing problems by race, ethnicity, and income level. The housing problems analyzed in this section are defined by HUD as follows:
• Cost Burden: Households spending more than 30 percent of their gross income on housing costs. For renters, this includes rent plus utilities. For homeowners, it includes mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and utilities. • Overcrowding: Households with more than 1 person per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half-rooms.
• Substandard Housing Conditions: Households lacking complete kitchen and/or plumbing facilities.
o Lacking complete kitchen facilities: Missing a sink with a faucet, a refrigerator, or a stove/range.
o Lacking complete plumbing facilities: Missing hot and cold running water, a flush toilet, or a bathtub/shower.
Figures 1-4 illustrate the prevalence of housing problems among racial and ethnic groups at various income levels, highlighting disparities where they exist.
By understanding disparities in housing problems, the City can better allocate resources and tailor programs to address the needs of disproportionately impacted populations.

NA-20 Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems Introduction
This section analyzes whether specific racial or ethnic groups in the City of Hawthorne experience a disproportionately greater number of severe housing problems than the general population within the same income category. As in the previous section, a disproportionately greater need exists when the rate of severe housing problems among a racial or ethnic group exceeds the average rate for all households at the same income level by 10 percentage points or more.
Tables 18-21 present detailed data on the number of households experiencing severe housing problems by race, ethnicity, and income level. The severe housing problems analyzed in this section are defined by HUD as follows:
• Severe Cost Burden: Households spending more than 50 percent of their gross income on housing costs. For renters, this includes rent plus utilities. For homeowners, it includes mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and utilities. • Severe Overcrowding: Households with more than 1.5 persons per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half-rooms.
• Substandard Housing Conditions: Households lacking complete kitchen and/or plumbing facilities.
o Lacking complete kitchen facilities: Missing a sink with a faucet, a refrigerator, or a stove/range.
o Lacking complete plumbing facilities: Missing hot and cold running water, a flush toilet, or a bathtub/shower.
Figures 5-8 illustrate the prevalence of severe housing problems among racial and ethnic groups at various income levels, highlighting disparities where they exist.
By identifying disparities in severe housing problems, the City can allocate resources more effectively and tailor programs to address the needs of disproportionately impacted populations.

NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens Introduction
This section evaluates whether specific racial and ethnic groups in the City of Hawthorne experience housing cost burdens at disproportionately greater rates compared to the overall population. Consistent with previous sections, a disproportionately greater need exists when a racial or ethnic group experiences housing cost burdens at a rate 10 percentage points or more above the Citywide average.
Table 22 provides data on the proportion of household income spent on housing by race and ethnicity, categorized according to HUD-defined housing cost burden levels:
• No cost burden: Housing costs do not exceed 30 percent of gross household income. • Cost burdened: Housing costs range between 30-50% of gross household income. • Severely cost burdened: Housing costs exceed 50% of gross household income.
Figures 9 and 10 illustrate the proportion of cost burdened households by race and ethnicity, highlighting disparities where they exist.
Understanding disparities in housing cost burdens enables the City to develop resource allocation strategies that address the needs of disproportionately impacted populations.

Discussion
The analysis indicates that housing cost burdens are broadly distributed across the City’s population, with no racial or ethnic group disproportionately impacted.
Cost Burdened Households
In Hawthorne, 23 percent of all households are cost burdened, meaning they spend between 30 to 50 percent of their gross income on housing expenses. No racial or ethnic group meets HUD’s criteria for disproportionately greater need.
Figure 9 – Housing Cost Burdens by Race/Ethnicity

NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion
Are there any income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole?
The analysis reveals that certain racial and ethnic groups in Hawthorne face disproportionately greater housing needs across various income levels. These groups experience housing problems and severe housing problems at rates that significantly exceed the citywide average for their respective income categories.
Housing Problems
• Middle-Income Households
o Asian households (44 percent) experience housing problems at notably higher rates compared to the citywide average of 34 percent for all middleincome households.
Severe Housing Problems
• Extremely Low-Income Households
o Pacific Islander (100 percent) households face severe housing problems at rates that significantly exceed the citywide average of 84 percent for extremely low-income households.
• Moderate-Income Households
o Asian (47 percent) and Hispanic households (39 percent) experience severe housing problems at considerably higher rates than the citywide average of 29 percent for moderate-income households.
Data for racial and ethnic groups that represent a small share of the overall population, such as Pacific Islander households, should be interpreted cautiously due to large margins of error in available datasets. While these groups are included in the analysis, their need should be evaluated with an understanding of these limitations.
If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? No additional housing needs specific to these racial or ethnic groups were identified during the citizen participation process or through consultations with stakeholders.
The assessment of fair housing in the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element found that there is one racially or ethnically concentrated area of poverty (R/ECAP) 1 and one racially concentrated area of affluence (RCAA) 2 in Hawthorne.
1 HUD defines R/ECAPs as census tracts with a majority non-White popula�on (greater than 50 percent) and with a poverty rate that exceeds 40 percent or is three �mes the average tract poverty rate for the area, whichever is lower.
2 HUD defines RCAAs) as affluent, White communi�es where 80% or more of the popula�on is White and the median household income is $125,000 or greater (slightly more than double the na�onal median household income in 2016).
City of Hawthorne – 56 – Consolidated Plan
• Regarding the R/ECAP, there is a small part of Hawthorne extending north of the 105 Freeway into what is primarily the unincorporated community of Lennox, and which is part of a R/ECAP. However, only a small portion of this census tract (Tract 6017) is located in Hawthorne, with only a few residential units (28) falling under the City’s jurisdiction. Additionally, the poverty status for the census block group covering this area indicates the percent of population whose income is below the poverty level is only 17.5%, suggesting that the broader census tract is what is influencing the R/ECAP status for the Hawthorne households within the census tract. This indicates that the conditions creating the R/ECAP are outside of the City’s jurisdiction. • Regarding the RCAA, there is a predominantly White neighborhood on the southwest side of the City. Moreover, there are two block groups within this same area that have median incomes exceeding $125,000, and therefore are considered RCAAs (Block Group 2 and Block Group 3 of Census Tract 6023.02). This includes the Hollyglen neighborhood and the newer Three Sixty at South Bay gated community. However, local knowledge does not support the conclusion that this area is an RCAA as the area does not have a concentration of particularly high incomes, and is relatively diverse racially, ethnically, and economically.
The Housing Element also presents findings from the Opportunity Maps created by the California Fair Housing Task Force (Task Force), which was convened by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC). Opportunity maps are intended to display which areas offer lowincome children and adults the best chance at economic advancement, high educational attainment, and good physical and mental health. These opportunity maps are made from composite scores for three different domains, each of which is made up of a set of indicators. The Housing Element presents the following findings from an analysis of the opportunity maps:
Economic:
The Fair Housing Task Force calculates economic scores based on poverty, adult education, employment, job proximity, and median home values. According to the 2021 Task Force map, the City is mainly divided between tracts with a low economic score and tracts with a moderate economic score. The low resource areas also have concentrations of racial/ethnic minorities and lower income households. The tract at the southwest corner of the City (Tract 6023.02) received the highest score, which placed it in the category of “More Positive Economic Outcome”. This is the same tract that qualifies as an RCAA, as described above.
Education:
Education scores are based on math and reading proficiency, high school graduation rates, and student poverty rates. Education scores noticeably improve from east to west. While large areas of the City have lower education scores, areas on the west side of the City tend to have higher education scores.
City of Hawthorne – 57 – Consolidated Plan
Environmental:
Environmental health scores are based on environmental factors including pollutant exposure, groundwater threats, toxic sites, and hazardous materials exposure; sensitive receptors including seniors, children, persons with asthma, and low birth weight infants; and socioeconomic factors including educational attainment, linguistic isolation, poverty, and unemployment. The areas with the worst environmental health scores are in the north central and northeast areas of the City, near the 105 Freeway and the Hawthorne Municipal Airport. Scores generally improve in the southern part of the City.
Transportation:
Access to transportation, and in turn employment opportunities, improves from east to west in Hawthorne. HUD’s Jobs Proximity Index can be used to show transportation needs geographically. Block groups with lower jobs proximity indices are located further from employment opportunities and have a higher need for transportation to access employment. Access to employment opportunities improves from east to west.
Employment opportunities are less accessible to residents east of Hawthorne Boulevard.
Additionally, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) developed a mapping tool for High Quality Transit Areas (HQTA) as part of the Connect SoCal 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). SCAG defines HQTAs as areas within one-half mile from a major transit stop and a high-quality transit corridor. Hawthorne has high-quality transit running north-south with the Metro Green Line, Hawthorne Boulevard, and Crenshaw Boulevard all categorized as HQTAs; however, there is no HQTA running east-west that provides efficient and affordable access to the job opportunities in the areas west of the City.
Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? As described in the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, approximately 63.8% of the Hawthorne population belongs to a racial or ethnic minority group.
A commonly used measure of segregation is the dissimilarity index which represents the extent to which the distribution of any two groups differs across census tracts or block groups. The values of the dissimilarity index range from 0 to 100, with a value of zero representing perfect integration between the racial groups in question, and a value of 100 representing perfect segregation between the racial groups. In Hawthorne, dissimilarity between Black/White, Hispanic/White, and Asian or Pacific Islander/White communities increased between 1990 and 2020. Based on HUD’s definition of the various levels of the index, segregation between non-White and White Hawthorne residents is now moderate.
Compared to the County as a whole, segregation is low in Hawthorne.
As mentioned above, there is one R/ECAP and one RCAA in Hawthorne. The R/ECAP covers a small part of Hawthorne extending north of the 105 Freeway into what is primarily the unincorporated community of Lennox. The RCAA is located on the southwest side of the City, in Census tract 6023.02.

NA-35 Public Housing
Introduction
The Hawthorne Housing Authority (HA) is responsible for the administration and oversight of the City’s public and assisted housing programs. The HA plays a vital role in helping lowincome families access safe and affordable housing through the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. As of the 2024 Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan, the City’s official allocation from HUD, known as its Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) inventory, includes 726 vouchers. Through portability provisions, which allow voucher holders to use their assistance in different jurisdictions, the City also serves residents with vouchers issued by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) and the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA). As a result, a total of 1,160 HCV participants live in Hawthorne, benefitting from rental support while expanding their housing choices.
Currently, the HA does not own or manage any HUD public housing developments.
However, the City is within the service area of LACDA which currently manages a portfolio of nearly 3,000 public housing units and more than 21,000 vouchers. This structure highlights the collaborative nature of public and assisted housing. The HA and LACDA’s primary goal is to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing.

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 requires that recipients of federal financial assistance, such as public housing authorities, conduct self-evaluations to ensure their programs and activities are accessible to individuals with disabilities. This self-evaluation includes assessing policies, practices, and facilities to identify and rectify any barriers to accessibility. The HA ensures compliance with Section 504 by fulfilling reasonable accommodation requests and ensuring equal access to all housing programs and services.
Currently, there are 249 families with disabled members and 226 elderly residents assisted through the HCV program. Despite these efforts, the HA indicated that there are 90 disabled applicants on the waitlist. This illustrates a significant gap between the availability and demand for accessible housing units that are affordable.
To meet the needs of disabled residents, the HHA implements several proactive measures:
• Affirmatively markets units and partners with local agencies that assist families with disabilities.
• Provides a regularly maintained list of accessible units to program participants. • Conducts ongoing training to ensure staff are knowledgeable about requirements and accessibility standards under Section 504, the Fair Housing Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
• Collaborates with the Fair Housing Foundation (FHF) to host clinics and landlordtenant sessions.
These practices demonstrate the HA’s commitment to addressing barriers and ensuring equal access for persons with disabilities.
What are the number and type of families on the waiting list for public housing and section 8 tenantbased rental assistance? Based on the information above, and any other information available to the jurisdiction, what are the most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders?
Based on consultations with the HA, 314 applicants are on the waiting list for housing assistance, reflecting a significant demand for affordable housing. Among these applicants, City of Hawthorne – 61 – Consolidated Plan
196 are extremely low-income, 28 are elderly, and 90 have disabilities. Currently, the average wait time is seven years.
Based on Table 24, the average annual income of program participants is $14,929, indicating that most voucher holders are extremely low-income. These income constraints exacerbate housing instability, leaving these households struggling to afford even the least expensive housing in the City without assistance. This demonstrates the continued need for partnerships with workforce development agencies to provide job training, adult learning, and access to higher-paying employment opportunities.
Moreover, the 226 elderly and 249 disabled program participants face additional barriers, including high healthcare costs and limited availability of affordable housing with accessibility features near supportive services. This highlights the pressing need for affordable units equipped with accessibility features that are located close to healthcare and supportive services.
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large? While voucher holders share many of the same challenges as other extremely low- and low-income households in the City, their reliance on housing assistance makes their needs more acute. This is especially true for those participants residing in units that are only affordable with voucher assistance. Without ongoing support, many voucher holders are at risk of eviction and displacement.
Discussion
This analysis highlights the pressing need for additional affordable housing options that are accessible and located near supportive services. The extensive waiting list demonstrates the high demand for affordable units, particularly those equipped with accessibility features. Moreover, voucher holder require wraparound services, including:
• Job training and workforce development to address income disparities • Affordable childcare and youth programs to alleviate financial pressures on families • Healthcare and supportive services for elderly and disabled households Continued collaboration between the City and local organizations is essential to ensure long-term housing stability and improved living conditions for Hawthorne residents.

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment
Introduction
Homelessness in the City of Hawthorne remains a pressing challenge, with a growing number of individuals and families affected by housing instability. There are four federally defined categories under which individuals and families may quality as homeless: (1) literally homeless; (2) imminent risk of homelessness; (3) homeless under other federal statutes; and (4) fleeing/attempting to flee domestic violence.
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) serves as the lead agency for the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC) and coordinates federal, state, and local funding for homeless services across eight Service Planning Areas (SPAs). The City of Hawthorne falls within SPA 8, covering the South Bay region.
To better understand the nature and extent of homelessness, LAHSA conducts an annual Point-in-Time (PIT) Count. The 2024 PIT Count revealed a 16 percent decrease in the total homeless population within SPA 8 compared to 2023. While this reduction suggests progress, thousands of individuals continue to experience homelessness, highlighting gaps in shelter capacity, housing affordability, and supportive services.
This section provides an in-depth analysis of the sheltered and unsheltered populations by household composition, chronic homelessness, and veteran status. Additionally, it explores racial and ethnic disparities and provides estimates of housing assistance needs for families with children and veterans.

Data Source: 2024 Los Angeles CoC PIT Count – Service Planning Area 8 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", then describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth).
The 2024 PIT Count identified 5,428 individuals experiencing homelessness in SPA 8, with 1,436 people (26 percent) residing in emergency shelters or transitional housing and 3,992 individuals (74 percent) living unsheltered. The overwhelming number of unsheltered individuals emphasizes the inadequacy of emergency shelter and transitional housing options in the region.
Chronically Homeless Individuals and Families
Single-person households make up the majority of the homeless population in SPA 8, accounting for 87 percent of all homeless individuals. Within this group, 4,699 are adults over the age of 18, while only five are unaccompanied minors under the age of 18.
Chronic homelessness remains a persistent issue, with 2,314 individuals in SPA 8 (43 percent) meeting the criteria for chronic homelessness. These individuals experience prolonged periods of homelessness with a disabling condition or have had four episodes of homelessness within the past three years. The CoC has adopted a Housing First approach that prioritizes permanent supportive housing paired with wraparound services.
Yet, gaps remain in behavioral health services and addiction treatment programs which are critical for long-term stability.
Veterans
The veteran population remains a key subgroup within the overall homeless population.
The 2024 PIT Count identified 361 homeless veterans in SPA 8, of whom 183 were sheltered (51 percent) and 178 were unsheltered (49 percent). Among these veterans, 102 individuals met the definition of chronic homelessness, with 91 living unsheltered. Many homeless veterans struggle with mental health disorders, difficulty navigating Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, and a lack of access to affordable housing. Expanding access to permanent supportive housing and mental health services will be critical in reducing veteran homelessness in the City.
City of Hawthorne – 64 – Consolidated Plan
Families with Children
Family households experiencing homelessness represent a smaller portion of the overall homeless population. The 2024 PIT Count reported 226 homeless family households, totaling 724 individuals, including 428 minors. A significant portion of these families (58 percent) are in shelters, while 42 percent remain unsheltered, highlighting the need for family-oriented shelter services and permanent housing solutions.
These families face unique challenges, including limited access to affordable multibedroom units, childcare services, educational support, and job training programs.
Addressing these barriers requires a combination of affordable housing development, rental assistance, and expanded supportive services tailored to the needs of these families.
Unaccompanied Youth
Unaccompanied youth represent a particularly vulnerable subset of the homeless population. The 2024 PIT Count identified five unaccompanied minors, with three in shelters and two living unsheltered. These young individuals often lack familial support, face disruptions in their education, and struggle to secure stable employment. LAHSA’s Coordinated Community Plan to Address Youth Homelessness focuses on expanding transitional housing options, family reunification programs, and employment services.
However, further investment is needed to strengthen partnerships with organizations specializing in youth homelessness prevention and intervention.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans.
The need for additional housing assistance remains significant. For homeless families with children, 226 affordable multi-bedroom housing units are needed to provide stable housing options. The veteran homeless population requires approximately 361 affordable studio or one-bedroom units, coupled with supportive services to facilitate long-term stability. Given the high percentage of chronically homeless individuals, an estimated 2,314 permanent supportive housing placements are necessary to address the needs of this population.
Additionally, expanding transitional housing options for youth is essential to reduce their risk of long-term homelessness.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.
The 2024 PIT Count revealed that Hispanic/Latino individuals make up 42 percent of the homeless population, followed by Black/African American individuals at 35 percent, and White individuals at 29 percent. Despite making up only 26 percent of the City’s total population, Black/African Americans account for 35 percent of those experiencing homelessness, indicating a stark racial disparity.
These disparities highlight the need for targeted outreach programs, culturally responsive case management services, and resource allocation. Addressing the root causes of racial disparities in homelessness will require expanding economic opportunities, workforce City of Hawthorne – 65 – Consolidated Plan
development programs, and access to affordable housing for historically marginalized groups.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.
A majority of the homeless population in SPA 8 is unsheltered (74 percent), residing in vehicles, encampments, or other places not meant for habitation. Among the 3,992 unsheltered individuals, 65 percent live on the streets, while 35 percent rely on vehicles as shelter. The number of people living in vehicles reveals a growing reliance on cars as a form of housing due to rising rental costs and limited affordable housing options.
Emergency shelters and transitional housing programs serve 1,436 individuals in SPA 8, representing a 30 percent increase from the prior year (1,106 in 2023). While this trend is reflective of the increasing capacity of emergency shelters and transitional housing, the demand for shelter beds and transitional housing still far exceeds supply.
Among the unsheltered population, 51 percent meet the definition of chronic homelessness, while only 19 percent of sheltered individuals are chronically homeless.
This highlights the critical role emergency shelters and transitional housing play in stabilizing individuals and preventing recurring homelessness.
Discussion
The City of Hawthorne, in collaboration with LAHSA and local service providers, must prioritize expanding emergency shelter capacity, increasing permanent supportive housing, and strengthening mental health and substance use treatment programs. The city should leverage federal, state, and local resources to enhance homeless prevention programs, rental assistance, and workforce development initiatives. By implementing comprehensive, data-driven strategies, Hawthorne can create a more effective homeless response system, ensuring greater housing stability, and improved quality of life for its most vulnerable residents.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment
Introduction
Hawthorne is home to several special needs populations who face significant barriers to stable housing and supportive services due to unique vulnerabilities. These populations include the elderly and frail elderly, individuals with disabilities, persons with alcohol or drug addictions, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and survivors of domestic violence.
Unlike the general population, these groups often require tailored housing solutions and specialized services to address barriers such as limited income, accessibility needs, health conditions, and social stigma.
This section provides an overview of the characteristics of each group, their specific housing and supportive service needs, and strategies to address these challenges. By understanding the unique obstacles faced by these groups, the City can design and implement programs that foster stability, independence, and improved quality of life for its most vulnerable residents.
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community.
Elderly and Frail Elderly
The elderly population, defined by HUD as individuals aged 62 or older, is a growing demographic in the City of Hawthorne, accounting for approximately 23 percent of the total population (ACS S0101). A particularly vulnerable subset of this group is the frail elderly, who require assistance with three or more daily living activities.
The City is home to 6,910 elderly households, constituting 25 percent of all households (Table 7). Among these, 4,405 elderly households are low- and moderate-income (≤ 80 percent of AMI). Financial challenges remain pronounced among these elderly households, with 49 percent experiencing cost burdens (2,144 households) and 34 percent facing severe cost burdens (1,499 households).
Elderly households’ reliance on fixed or limited incomes leaves them particularly vulnerable to rising costs, financial instability, and diminished quality of life. As the City’s population continues to age, the demand for housing and supportive services tailored to the needs of elderly and frail elderly residents will grow.
Persons with Disabilities
According to the 2016-2020 ACS data (S1810), approximately 7,914 individuals in the City of Hawthorne have a disability, representing about 9 percent of the total population. The correlation between age and disability is significant, with nearly one third (32 percent or 2,517 residents) of disabled residents being over the age of 65.
Persons with disabilities, defined by HUD as individuals with physical, mental, developmental, or emotional impairments that substantially limit major life activities, represent 9 percent of the City’s population (7,914 residents) (ACS S1810). Disabilities are strongly correlated with age, with 2,517 elderly residents having one or more disabilities, City of Hawthorne – 67 – Consolidated Plan
representing 32 percent of the City’s disabled population. The most common disabilities include ambulatory difficulty (49 percent), independent living challenges (39 percent), and cognitive impairments (35 percent).
Persons with disabilities frequently encounter unique barriers to independent living, including limited employment opportunities, high healthcare costs, and discrimination in securing housing. The scarcity of units that are both affordable and accessible further exacerbates these challenges, highlighting the importance of tailored housing solutions that promote independence and stability.
Persons with Alcohol and Other Drug Addictions
Substance use disorders, including alcohol and drug addictions, continue to pose a significant challenge in Hawthorne. While obtaining accurate data on addiction is difficult due to the stigma surrounding substance use and fear of criminal repercussions, available statistics reveal concerning trends that indicate a pressing need for intervention.
In Los Angeles County, alcohol and other drug related hospitalizations increased by 38 percent from 2012 to 2022 (LA County Public Health). The opioid crisis, in particular, continues to have a profound impact on the community. In 2023, the County reported 2,085 opioid-related deaths, which is a dramatic increase from the 494 deaths in 2014 (LA County Public Health). Alarmingly, 94 percent of these fatalities were linked to fentanyl, highlighting the growing presence of this highly potent synthetic opioid and its devastating consequences.
Substance use often exacerbates barriers to stable housing, employment, and healthcare.
These challenges are further complicated by the stigma surrounding addiction, which frequently discourages individuals from seeking treatment.
Victims of Domestic Violence
In 2022, the Hawthorne Police Department responded to 419 domestic violence related calls. Many survivors require immediate relocation to long-term housing to escape dangerous environments. Survivors face numerous challenges, including financial instability, the need for legal advocacy, and rebuilding their lives after leaving abusive situations.
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
The housing and supportive service needs of these populations were identified through resident surveys, consultations with stakeholders and service providers, and analyses of local and national data sources and reports. These efforts provided a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges and service gaps faced by these populations.
Elderly and Frail Elderly
The housing and supportive service needs of the elderly and frail elderly residents are centered on maintaining independence, ensuring accessibility, and promoting social City of Hawthorne – 68 – Consolidated Plan
connection. Key housing needs include affordable units equipped with aging-in-place features, such as grab bars, ramps, no-step entries, and single-story layouts. Accessible transportation options, proximity to healthcare services, and community-based programs are essential to enhancing quality of life.
Supportive services must address the unique challenges faced by elderly residents, including fixed incomes, mobility limitations, and social isolation. Services such as in-home care, meal delivery, and social engagement programs are critical to mitigate the risks associated with aging and fostering independence.
Persons with Disabilities
Housing needs for persons with disabilities include affordable and accessible units that accommodate a variety of impairments, such as mobility challenges, sensory disabilities, and cognitive conditions. Features such as widened doorways, no step thresholds, lowered countertops, roll-in showers, and auditory or visual aids are critical to ensuring independence. Proximity to healthcare providers and accessible public transportation further enhances the ability of persons with disabilities to live independently.
Supportive services should include case management, vocational training, and access to specialized healthcare. These services help disabled individuals overcome the unique challenges they face by ensuring they have opportunities for independent living.
Persons with Alcohol and Other Drug Addictions
Stable housing paired with integrated supportive services is vital for individuals recovering from substance use disorders. Transitional housing, sober living environments, and longterm supportive housing provide safe and structured settings conducive to recovery and reintegration into the community.
Supportive services must include detoxification programs, outpatient and inpatient treatment options, counseling, and peer support networks. Prevention and education initiatives targeting youth and at-risk populations are key to altering perception of substance use and mitigating its impact on the community.
Victims of Domestic Violence
Victims of domestic violence, and other members of their households such as children, often require immediate access to emergency shelters or transitional housing to escape unsafe environments. Long-term supportive housing is also needed to ensure survivors can achieve stability and rebuild their lives.
Supportive services must include counseling, legal advocacy, financial assistance, and workforce development programs to address the comprehensive needs of survivors and promote self-sufficiency.
City of Hawthorne – 69 – Consolidated Plan
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) compromises the immune system, which can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) if not treated. According to the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) Atlas Plus Program, 50,466 residents were living with HIV in Los Angeles County in 2021, including 1,486 newly diagnosed cases that year.
Among those living with HIV, 71 percent received HIV medical care, and 64 percent achieved viral suppression. These outcomes highlight the importance of access to affordable healthcare to manage their condition effectively.
Individuals living with HIV/AIDS are more likely to experience housing instability, discrimination, and limited access to healthcare. Stable and affordable housing is a key determinant of health for this population, as it supports adherence to treatment plans, reduces the risk of health complications, and minimizes hospitalization rates. As such, the availability of affordable housing near specialized HIV/AIDS healthcare providers is particularly vital to improving health outcomes and quality of life for this population.
Families of individuals with HIV/AIDS face additional burdens, including navigating the social stigma associated with the condition, managing financial pressures from medical expenses, and navigating the complexities of accessing appropriate service providers.
These challenges often result in heightened stress and economic strain, creating a cycle of instability that hinders effective treatment and overall well-being.
Addressing gaps in supportive services is also critical to improving the quality of life for individuals with HIV/AIDS and their families. Initiatives should prioritize addressing both physical and mental health needs through case management, counseling, and nutritional assistance. These services are essential for improving health outcomes and ensuring individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families can lead healthy, stable, and dignified lives.
Discussion
This section highlights the various challenges faced by special needs populations in the City of Hawthorne. Each group experiences distinct barriers to stable housing and supportive services, ranging from affordability and accessibility to social stigma and access to specialized services.
Addressing these needs requires a comprehensive approach that expands affordable housing options with integrated supportive services that are tailored to the unique needs of these residents.
City of Hawthorne – 70 – Consolidated Plan
NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities.
Hawthorne has identified a significant need for enhanced public facilities to promote community well-being and support vulnerable populations. These facilities play a vital role in addressing the needs of low- and moderate-income residents, fostering social connections, and improving overall quality of life. The City’s Strategic Plan prioritizes improving public facilities that predominantly serve low- and moderate-income residents.
These projects aim to address key service gaps through the construction, expansion, or rehabilitation of facilities such as:
• Parks and recreational facilities: Parks and recreational spaces are crucial for improving physical and mental health, encouraging social interaction, and enhancing the quality of life for residents. In low-income neighborhoods, where access to outdoor spaces is often limited, the expansion and improvement of parks is particularly vital.
• Youth centers: Safe and accessible youth centers are needed in underserved neighborhoods to provide after-school programs, mentorship, and recreational activities. These spaces foster positive development and offer alternatives to at-risk behaviors.
• Childcare centers: A significant shortage of affordable childcare facilities, especially near housing and workplaces, limits opportunities for working families and reduces workforce participation across the City. Expanding access to affordable childcare options is essential to supporting economic stability, particularly for low-income families.
• Homeless facilities: Facilities that provide essential services to individuals experiencing homelessness, such as emergency shelters, transitional housing, and resource centers remain a significant need. These spaces offer critical amenities such as food, clothing, showers, laundry services, and access to case management, all of which are critical in helping individuals transition to stable housing. • Senior centers and facilities for persons with disabilities: With an aging population, additional facilities are needed to support aging in place, reduce social isolation, and provide accessible environments tailored to elderly and disabled residents. These centers enrich the lives of elderly and disabled residents by offering social, educational, and wellness programs.
• Neighborhood facilities such as community centers: Community centers serve as vital hubs for residents by providing access to resources, educational opportunities, and gathering spaces. Enhancing these facilities strengthens community cohesion, increases engagement, and fosters access to community resources.
The City’s goal to improve public facilities reflects its broader commitment to meet the needs of underserved populations by fostering vibrant, inclusive, and healthy communities.
City of Hawthorne – 71 – Consolidated Plan
How were these needs determined?
The City’s public facility needs were identified through a comprehensive process that included multiple sources of input and analysis. Key methods included:
• Resident Surveys: Feedback from residents provided valuable insights into community priorities and highlighted specific needs for public facilities, such as youth centers, childcare centers, and parks or recreational facilities. • Stakeholder and Service Provider Consultations: Input from local stakeholders and service providers shed light on existing service gaps and emphasized the importance of public facilities in meeting community needs. • Community Meetings: Interactive exercises and discussions provided a platform for residents to share their perspectives and prioritize needs, ensuring a localized approach to planning.
• Data and Reports: Analyses of demographic trends, service gaps, and infrastructure needs from reports such as the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) provided a data-driven framework for identifying both immediate and long-term needs.
This multi-faceted approach ensures investments in public facility improvements are aligned with the City’s CIP, address community-identified needs, and prioritize access for low- and moderate-income residents.
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements.
Public improvements are essential for creating safe, accessible, and suitable living environments, particularly in underserved neighborhoods. For this reason, the City’s Strategic Plan prioritizes infrastructure improvements in CDBG designated low- and moderate-income areas. Key priorities include:
• Accessibility Improvements: Projects that remove architectural barriers and provide ADA-compliant upgrades to public infrastructure are essential to ensuring that individuals with disabilities can safely navigate public spaces and fully participate in community activities. These efforts align with the City’s commitment to addressing the needs of residents with disabilities.
• Infrastructure Improvements in CDBG Low- and Moderate-Income Areas: The sidewalks, curbs, gutters, driveway approaches, alleys, pedestrian crossings, and streetlights in these areas often require significant rehabilitation. These improvements enhance pedestrian and motorist safety, improve traffic circulation, preserve neighborhood aesthetics, and advance environmental sustainability.
By prioritizing these types of infrastructure improvements, the City aims to enhance the quality of life and address the needs of residents in low- and moderate-income areas.
How were these needs determined?
The City’s public infrastructure needs were identified through a combination of resident surveys, consultations with stakeholders and service providers, and public input gathered during community meetings. These efforts provided valuable insights into infrastructure City of Hawthorne – 72 – Consolidated Plan
priorities such as accessibility improvements. In addition, analyses of service gaps and infrastructure conditions outlined in the City’s CIP helped inform the short- and long-term planning efforts.
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services.
Public services are consistently identified as a high priority by residents and stakeholders in Hawthorne. In accordance with CDBG regulations, the City may allocate up to 15% of its annual grant allocation (plus 15% of prior year program income) to support eligible public service activities. The City’s Strategic Plan prioritizes investments that address critical gaps in service capacity and directly benefit low- and moderate-income residents. Public service activities prioritized for funding include, but are not limited to:
• Youth services: After-school programs, mentorship opportunities, and recreational activities designed to support positive youth development. These programs address disparities by providing safe and engaging spaces for at-risk youth, encouraging personal growth, and reducing involvement in risky behaviors. • Programs for individuals experiencing or at-risk of homelessness: Services such as street outreach, emergency shelters, rapid re-housing, and case management are essential to addressing the complex challenges of homelessness. These programs provide immediate relief by offering access to critical resources such as temporary housing and supportive services, while also creating pathways to permanent housing.
• Services for survivors of domestic violence and abused children: The City faces a shortage of services to address the comprehensive needs of survivors of domestic violence and abused children. Programs that expand access to counseling, legal advocacy, financial assistance, and childcare provide critical support while ensuring children’s well-being and development.
• Senior services: Programs tailored to the needs of elderly residents include transportation assistance, meal delivery, wellness checks, and social engagement activities. These services are crucial for promoting aging in place, reducing social isolation, and improving the overall well-being of seniors. • Services for persons with disabilities: Programs that provide case management, assistive technology training, vocational rehabilitation, and access to specialized healthcare are necessary to support individuals with disabilities. These services enable residents with disabilities to live independently, access employment and housing opportunities, and participate fully in community life.
While crime prevention programs also emerged as high priorities during consultations with residents and stakeholders, these needs are largely addressed through other funding sources. For instance, the Hawthorne Police Department operates various crime prevention programs that are adapted to particular community needs, one of which provides guidance and healthy outlets for at-risk youth (Hawthorne Force). Since these services are funded through other sources, the City does not anticipate utilizing CDBG funds for these programs to avoid duplication of resources.
City of Hawthorne – 73 – Consolidated Plan
How were these needs determined?
The City’s public service needs were identified through a comprehensive and collaborative process designed to capture community priorities and address service gaps effectively. The key methods employed included:
• Resident Surveys: Responses from residents provided valuable insights into the community’s priorities and highlighted critical service gaps and unmet needs. • Stakeholder and Service Provider Consultations: Engagement with stakeholders and service providers offered an in-depth understanding of existing challenges and opportunities to enhance service delivery.
• Community Meetings: Public input gathered during community meetings, which included interactive exercises and discussions, ensured that regional perspectives and localized priorities were incorporated in the City’s public service strategy.

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview
The Market Analysis section provides a clear picture of the environment in which the City of Hawthorne must administer its programs over the course of the Consolidated Plan. In conjunction with the Needs Assessment, this analysis serves as the basis for identifying the City’s housing assets and needs, understanding the private market dynamics, and determining where to focus public investment over the next five years.
The housing market analysis evaluates Hawthorne’s housing market in terms of supply, demand, cost, and condition of housing. It also identifies the existing public housing stock, whether any units are at risk of being lost from the affordable housing inventory, and the condition of said units to inform the City’s strategy for improving the living environment of households residing in public and assisted housing.
The homeless and special needs analysis describes the current inventory and capacity of facilities, housing, and services to meet the needs of homeless persons and special needs populations that require supportive housing services due to factors such as age, disability, and other vulnerabilities.
The barriers to affordable housing analysis evaluates whether there are any regulatory barriers to affordable housing, including public policies that affect the cost of housing and the incentives to develop, maintain, or improve affordable housing in Hawthorne. These include tax policies, land use controls, zoning ordinances, building codes, and policies that negatively impact the return on residential investment.
The broadband and hazard mitigation analysis focuses on the needs of low- and moderateincome communities, particularly as it relates to their gaps in access to high-speed internet and their vulnerability to natural hazards.

MA-10 Number of Housing Units
Introduction
The availability, composition, and affordability of housing in Hawthorne significantly impacts residents’ ability to secure stable and suitable housing. This section analyzes the City’s housing stock, including property types, tenure distribution, and unit sizes, to evaluate whether the supply meets the needs of the population. The total number of residential structures by property type is provided in Table 29. Property types include single-family (1-4 units), multi-family (5 or more units), and mobile homes. Table 30 details the number of residential structures by unit size (number of bedrooms) and tenure.
Hawthorne’s housing market is characterized by limited inventory, rising demand, and increasing construction costs, all of which contribute to affordability challenges. As of 2020, the City had 29,280 housing units, of which 26 percent were owner-occupied (7,725 units), 69 percent were renter-occupied (20,330 units), and 4 percent were vacant (1,225 units).
The housing stock predominantly consists of multi-family units (52 percent), followed by single-family homes (48 percent) and a small percentage of mobile homes (0.5 percent).
The City’s development patterns have led to a relative shortage of diverse housing types that could better serve the needs of different household sizes and income levels.
There is a clear imbalance between housing unit sizes and tenure types, which affects accessibility and affordability. Owner-occupied units tend to be larger, with 77 percent offering four or more bedrooms, compared to just 12 percent of rental units. Conversely, rental properties are far more likely to be smaller units, with 51 percent of all rental units consisting of studios or one-bedroom apartments, whereas only 5 percent of owneroccupied units fall into this category. This disparity disproportionately impacts larger households, forcing many into overcrowded conditions or cost burdens due to limited options. These mismatches in unit availability and affordability exacerbate housing instability, particularly for low- and moderate-income residents.

Table 31 – Affordable Housing Covenants
Data Source: HUD Multifamily Assistance and Section 8 Database; 2021-2029 Housing Element City of Hawthorne – 77 – Consolidated Plan
Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs.
The City of Hawthorne leverages a variety of federal, state, and local programs to support the development and preservation of affordable housing. The Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) program, administered by the City’s Housing Authority, provides rental assistance to approximately 1,160 low-income households, enabling them to secure housing in the private market. However, due to limited availability of rental units that meet program standards, many voucher recipients struggle to find housing.
As shown in Table 31, there are 18 residential properties with a total of 614 affordable units.
These properties serve low-income families, elderly residents, and individuals with disabilities. Some properties such as TELACU Senior Housing and TELACU Terrace provide units specifically for seniors, while others such as Hawthorne Gardens provide affordable housing for low-income families. Many of these units are subject to affordability covenants that ensure they remain affordable for extended periods, with expiration dates ranging from 2027 to 2071.
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
Reductions in the publicly subsidized housing stock contribute to the shortage of affordable housing. Without proactive intervention, these units are at risk of converting to market rate housing, potentially displacing low- and moderate-income households. For this reason, HUD requires the City to analyze the scope of potential losses to better safeguard the community’s affordable housing inventory.
The preservation of existing affordable housing is a critical concern, as many units are at risk of converting to market-rate housing when affordability restrictions expire. Currently, two project-based Section 8 contracts, covering 149 affordable units, are renewed either annually or every five years, making them vulnerable to market-rate conversion upon contract expiration. The loss of these units would significantly impact the current tenants and reduce the availability of affordable housing in the community.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Hawthorne’s total housing stock of 29,280 units does not adequately meet the needs of its residents, particularly in terms of affordability and unit size distribution. Rising housing costs, coupled with low vacancy rates, create intense competition for available units, driving up rents and limiting options for low- and moderate-income households. The lack of diverse housing types exacerbates these challenges.
City of Hawthorne – 78 – Consolidated Plan
Describe the need for specific types of housing.
Hawthorne’s housing market exhibits critical gaps across various housing types, resulting in a mismatch between the available supply and demand.
Smaller Housing Alternatives
Hawthorne faces a shortage of affordable studios and one-bedroom units that are suitable for single-person households, small families, and seniors seeking to downsize. Currently, households with two people or fewer make up 52 percent of all households, including 3,628 homeowners and 10,902 renters. Despite this demand, the housing stock only offers 355 owner-occupied units and 10,285 renter-occupied units with one bedroom or less.
This limited inventory creates intense competition, driving up rental and purchase prices for smaller units. As a result, many individuals are forced to pay more than they can sustainably afford, live in units that do not fit their needs, or leave the community entirely.
Seniors often struggle to find affordable, appropriately sized homes preventing them from downsizing. This, in turn, limits housing mobility as larger homes that could accommodate growing families remain occupied by older adults who have few alternative options.
Expanding the supply of smaller affordable units is critical to alleviating these pressures and providing greater housing choice for residents in different stages of life.
Family-Sized Rentals
The scarcity of larger rental units with four or more bedrooms poses significant challenges for larger families in Hawthorne. As shown in the Needs Assessment, 4,029 low- and moderate-income households experience overcrowding, with renters making up 96 percent (3,870 households) of this total. According to 2016-2020 ACS data (S2501), there are 2,520 homeowners and 6,201 renters with four or more people in their household. However, the existing housing stock only includes 5,945 homeowner homes and 5,054 rental units with four or more bedrooms, which is insufficient to meet demand.
This shortage forces many families to live in overcrowded conditions or pay unsustainably high rents to secure adequate spaces. The lack of family-sized rental units disproportionately affects low- and moderate-income households, placing them under severe financial strain and increasing their risk of housing instability or displacement.
Without access to appropriately sized homes, families must often double up with relatives, rent smaller units, or relocate outside of the City. Addressing this issue will require the development of larger rental units that are affordable across various income levels to ensure families can secure stable and adequate housing without excessive cost burdens.
Accessible Housing
Another critical gap in Hawthorne’s housing market is the lack of accessible housing for individuals with disabilities. Many residents require specific features such as grab bars, ramps, widened doorways, no step thresholds, and auditory or visual aids to maintain their independence and quality of life. However, the existing housing stock lacks sufficient units equipped with these features, leaving many individuals without viable housing options.
City of Hawthorne – 79 – Consolidated Plan
The lack of accessible units not only limits opportunities for individuals with disabilities to live independently but also creates additional barriers for caregivers and family members.
Moreover, the absence of accessible housing exacerbates imbalances in housing choice and quality for residents with disabilities, who may already face other economic or social challenges. To address these needs, it is imperative for the City to prioritize the development of accessible units in both new construction and rehabilitation projects.
Discussion
Hawthorne’s housing market faces significant supply gaps that hinder affordability and accessibility for various population groups. The shortage of small, affordable units makes it difficult for single-person households, small families, and seniors to find suitable housing. At the same time, large families struggle with overcrowding due to a lack of spacious rental options, and individuals with disabilities face barriers to securing accessible homes.
Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive approach that includes expanding the diversity of housing types, increasing the supply of affordable units, and ensuring that new developments meet the needs of a broad range of residents. By aligning policy efforts and resources with identified housing needs, the City can create a more sustainable housing market that meets the needs of all residents.

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing
Introduction
The cost of housing is a key determinant of accessibility and stability within a community.
In Hawthorne, rising housing costs continue to place significant financial strain on residents, particularly low- and moderate-income households. The gap between housing costs and income levels has widened dramatically, making homeownership unattainable for most and rental housing increasingly unaffordable. When housing costs rise faster than wages, affordability gaps emerge, leading to increased cost burdens, overcrowding, and displacement, and homelessness.
Recent trends highlight significant increases in home values and rents, driven by limited housing supply, strong demand, and rising construction costs. Between 2010 and 2020, the median home value in the City increased by 49 percent, rising from $404,900 to $602,100.
Over the same period, median contract rents increased by 29 percent, from $988 to $1,274.
These increases accelerated between 2020 and 2024, with home values surging another 47 percent to $885,650, and median contract rents rising 41 percent to $1,795.
These rapid cost increases highlight the growing affordability crisis for Hawthorne residents. Fair Market Rents (FMR) and HOME Rents remain lower than the area’s median rents, indicating the importance of rental assistance programs in bridging affordability gaps. Despite this, the availability of affordable units remains insufficient to meet demand.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? The City of Hawthorne’s housing market does not adequately serve households across all income levels. On paper, 19,060 housing units are considered affordable to the City’s 18,630 low- and moderate-income households (≤ 80 percent of AMI). While this may suggest there is only a shortage of 430 units, this figure is misleading because it does not account for critical issues such as the suitability of housing for specific household needs, whether units are actually available for occupancy, or whether affordable units are occupied by households they are intended to serve. These challenges highlight the complexities of the housing market and the barriers faced by many residents in securing appropriate and affordable housing.
A notable issue is the mismatch between affordable housing units and their occupants.
While data suggests there are sufficient units affordable to low- and moderate-income households, there is no assurance that these units are occupied by the intended income City of Hawthorne – 82 – Consolidated Plan
groups. Higher-income households often occupy lower-cost housing, which reduces the availability of these units for low- and moderate-income residents who need them most.
This misallocation exacerbates the housing crisis and highlights a key inefficiency in the market.
Additionally, the Needs Assessment revealed widespread housing cost burdens among low- and moderate-income households, with the greatest challenges faced by extremely low-income households (≤ 30 percent of AMI). There are 6,680 extremely low-income households in Hawthorne competing for just 6,694 affordable units. While this may appear to indicate a slight surplus, the reality is that high competition, low vacancy rates, and the lack of alternative options make these units effectively inaccessible for many residents.
Low- and moderate-income households face similar pressures, as housing demand continues to exceed the production of affordable units.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? Housing affordability challenges are projected to persist as home values and rents continue to rise faster than income levels. With the median home value reaching $885,650 in 2024, homeownership remains unattainable for most residents. To afford a home at this price point, a household would need an annual income of approximately $190,000, assuming a 20 percent down payment of $177,130. This income threshold far exceeds what most Hawthorne residents earn, effectively locking them out of homeownership and increasing long-term reliance on rental housing. As home prices continue to rise, the opportunity to build generational wealth through homeownership diminishes, particularly for low- and moderate-income households.
The rental market presents similarly concerning trends. The current market rent for a twobedroom unit at $2,341 and a three-bedroom unit at $3,415 places these housing options well beyond the financial reach of many low- and moderate-income residents. At these prices, a household would need an annual income of $93,640 to afford a two-bedroom unit and $136,600 for a three-bedroom unit without experiencing cost burdens. This highlights the severe affordability gap in the rental market. As rental costs continue to climb, low- and moderate-income households face even greater barriers to securing stable housing, pushing many into cost burdened, overcrowded, or substandard housing conditions.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?
Fair Market Rents (FMR) and HOME Rents are essential tools for addressing the housing affordability gap in Hawthorne, particularly for low-income households. These programs provide crucial benchmarks for affordable rental pricing that align with the financial capacity of households earning at or below specific income thresholds.
For instance, the 2022 FMR for a two-bedroom unit is $2,044 which is 10 percent lower than the area median rent of $2,241 for the same type of unit. Low HOME Rents provide an even deeper level of affordability, with two-bedroom units priced at $1,340, making them accessible to low-income households. These rent levels provide a much-needed safety net, City of Hawthorne – 83 – Consolidated Plan
yet the availability of units at these price points is extremely limited due to financial disincentives for landlords and developers.
The significant gap between market-rate rents and affordable rent thresholds highlights the inability of the private market to produce and maintain low-cost housing without significant subsidies. For a developer, renting a two-bedroom unit at Low HOME Rent levels would result in $216,240 of foregone income over a 20-year affordability period compared to market-rate rents. Even renting at FMR levels would result in $47,280 in lost income over the same period. These figures reveal the financial disincentives inherent in producing affordable housing, emphasizing the critical role of public assistance to encourage private sector participation in affordable housing development.
Discussion
Hawthorne’s housing affordability crisis is driven by rising home values, escalating rents, and the inability of the private market to produce affordable units without significant public assistance. Homeownership remains out of reach for most residents, and rental costs continue to climb, disproportionately affecting low- and moderate-income households.
To address these challenges, the City must adopt a comprehensive approach that integrates the production of new affordable units, the preservation of existing affordable housing, and the expansion of rental assistance programs. Public investment is critical to offset the financial losses incurred by developers to ensure that Hawthorne’s housing stock meets the needs of all residents, not just those who can afford market -rate housing.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
Assessing the condition and age of the City of Hawthorne’s housing stock provides essential insights into the challenges of maintaining safe, habitable, and affordable housing. The condition of housing not only affects its livability but also impacts affordability. This evaluation is critical for developing strategies to address housing deficiencies, mitigate health risks, and preserve the long-term viability of the City’s existing housing inventory.
As of 2020, approximately 36 percent of owner-occupied units and 52 percent of renteroccupied units in the City exhibit at least one substandard condition such as lacking complete kitchen or plumbing facilities, overcrowding, or cost burden. These conditions are most prevalent among low- and moderate-income households, who often lack the financial resources to address them. Compounding these challenges, over 71 percent of the housing stock was built before 1980, increasing the likelihood of structural deficiencies, outdated electrical and plumbing systems, and lead-based paint hazards. The condition and aging nature of the housing stock emphasizes the critical need for rehabilitation programs that support both homeowners and landlords in addressing deficiencies.
Definitions
The City of Hawthorne defines housing conditions based on the California Health and Safety Code (HSC). A housing unit is classified as “substandard” if it poses a risk to the health, safety, or welfare of its occupants or the public. Conditions that contribute to substandard housing include:
• Inadequate sanitation (e.g., lacking complete kitchen or plumbing facilities) • Structural hazards (e.g., compromised foundations, walls, or other vertical supports) • Hazardous electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems that are unsafe or not functioning properly
• Faulty weather protection (e.g., leaky roofs or insufficient insulation) • Fire, health, or safety hazards (as determined by appropriate fire or health official) • Use of unapproved or unsafe construction materials, or non-compliant additions • Inadequate structural resistance to horizontal forces.
For the purposes of the CDBG and HOME programs, housing units in substandard condition are considered suitable for rehabilitation if the deficiencies can be corrected in a costeffective manner without requiring complete demolition.
Housing units are classified as being in “standard” condition if they comply with all applicable state and local requirements and meet HUD’s Housing Quality Standards (HQS).
The City anticipates replacing HQS with HUD’s National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE) beginning in October 2025, which will introduce updated criteria for housing inspections.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
Hawthorne’s housing stock shows widespread signs of deterioration, particularly among rental units which constitute the majority of the City’s housing inventory. As Table 37 indicates, approximately 52 percent of renter-occupied and 36 percent of owner-occupied units exhibit at least one substandard condition. Among rental units, 13 percent have two or more conditions, with some showing multiple deficiencies that compound housing instability.
The age of a housing unit is a key predictor of its likelihood to require rehabilitation. In Hawthorne, over 71 percent of all housing units were built before 1980, with a significant portion dating back more than 45 years. Older housing is more likely to have structural deficiencies, outdated systems, and environmental hazards such as lead-based paint (LBP).
Older homes not only require maintenance but also contribute to higher utility costs due to outdated insulation, inefficient appliances, and poor ventilation. Without rehabilitation, these issues can worsen over time, leading to unsafe and uninhabitable conditions for many residents.
Given that over half of all renter-occupied units and more than a third of owner-occupied units require repairs, housing rehabilitation programs must be prioritized. Low- and moderate-income homeowners often lack the financial means to make essential repairs, leading to progressive deterioration of their properties. Programs that provide grants or low-interest loans for rehabilitation are essential to supporting these households and preserving the quality and affordability of the City’s housing stock.
Rental housing, which accounts for two-thirds of Hawthorne’s housing units, require additional attention. Many landlords lack incentives or the financial capacity to make necessary repairs, leaving renters vulnerable to unsafe and unhealthy living environments.
Expanding landlord incentive programs, coupled with stronger code enforcement, is critical to ensuring rental units remain habitable.
Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low- or Moderate-Income Families with LBP Hazards One of the most pressing risks associated with aging housing stock is the presence of leadbased paint (LBP) in homes constructed before 1978, when lead paint was banned. Among Hawthorne’s 19,835 pre-1980 housing units, an estimated 13,175 are occupied by low- and moderate-income households. Within this group, 3,180 units house children under six years old, representing a high-risk population for lead poisoning.
City of Hawthorne – 87 – Consolidated Plan
Exposure to lead can cause severe health effects, especially for children, including developmental delays, behavioral issues, and neurological damage. Addressing LBP hazards through testing and abatement programs, tenant education, and landlord compliance measures is essential to protecting public health and ensuring safe housing.
Discussion
The aging condition of Hawthorne’s housing stock presents both a challenge and an opportunity. Rehabilitation of existing housing is a cost-effective solution that not only extends the lifespan of aging properties but also prevents the loss of affordable housing units, reduces health hazards, and improves residents’ quality of life.
Preservation efforts are particularly vital for low- and moderate-income households, who are disproportionately impacted by substandard conditions and face the greatest obstacles to maintaining their homes. By implementing comprehensive housing rehabilitation programs, the City can ensure its housing inventory remains safe, habitable, and accessible.

MA-30 Homeless Facilities and Services
Introduction
This section provides a summary of the facilities, housing, and services that meet the needs of homeless people throughout the City of Hawthorne. HUD uses the following definitions for these three facility types:
• Emergency Shelter (ES) is any facility with the primary purpose of providing a temporary shelter for the homeless in general or for specific homeless populations which does not require occupants to sign leases or occupancy agreements. • Transitional Housing (TH) is designed to provide homeless individuals and families with interim stability and support to successfully move to and maintain permanent housing. Transitional housing may be used to cover the costs of up to 24 months of housing with accompanying supportive services. Program participants must have a lease (or sublease) or occupancy agreement when residing in transitional housing. • Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) is defined as community-based housing paired with supportive services to serve households in which at least one member has a disability. Housing does not have a designated length of stay in which formerly homeless individuals and families live as independently as possible. Under PSH, a program participant must be the tenant on a lease (or sublease) for an initial term of at least one year that is renewable and is terminable only for cause.
The most recent inventory of resources available within Los Angeles County for emergency shelters, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing units comes from the 2024 Housing Inventory reported to HUD by the Los Angeles CoC as reflected below.

Describe mainstream services, such as health, mental health, and employment services to the extent those services are used to complement services targeted to homeless persons In California, the primary programs for assisting families in poverty are CalWORKS, CalFresh, and Medi-Cal. These programs provide clients with employment assistance, discounted food, medical care, childcare, and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing and transportation.
The California Work Opportunities for Kids (CalWORKs) program provides financial assistance and Welfare-to-Work services to California families with little to no cash.
Through this program these families may be eligible to receive immediate short-term help with housing, food, utilities, clothing, or medical care. Childcare is also available through this program.
CalFresh, formerly the Food Stamp Program, is a nutritional assistance program that provides Electronic Benefit Transfer Cards to people receiving public assistance to purchase food and other essential items.
The Medi-Cal program provides health coverage for people with low income and limited ability to pay for health coverage, including seniors, those with disabilities, young adults and children, pregnant women, persons in a skilled nursing or intermediate care home, and persons in the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program (BCCTP). People receiving federally funded cash assistance programs, such as CalWORKs (a state implementation of the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program), the State Supplementation Program (SSP) (a state supplement to the federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program), foster care, adoption assistance, certain refugee assistance programs, or In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), are also eligible.
CDBG and HOME Funded Activities
Congress designed the CDBG and HOME programs to serve low-income people, some of whom may meet the federal poverty definition. At least 70 percent of all CDBG funds must be used for activities that are considered under program rules to benefit low- and moderate-income persons. Additionally, every CDBG activity must meet one of three national objectives: benefit low- and moderate-income persons (at least 51 percent of the beneficiaries must be low- and moderate-income), address slums or blight, or meet a particularly urgent community need.
Under the HOME program, households must earn no more than 80 percent of the AMI, adjusted for household size, to be eligible for assistance. Furthermore, 90 percent of the HOME allocation that is invested in affordable rental housing must be directed to assist households earning no more than 60 percent AMI.

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services
Introduction
Hawthorne is home to several special needs populations who face significant barriers to stable housing and supportive services due to unique vulnerabilities. These populations include the elderly and frail elderly, individuals with disabilities, persons with alcohol or drug addictions, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and survivors of domestic violence.
Unlike the general population, these groups often require tailored housing solutions and specialized services to address barriers such as limited income, accessibility needs, health conditions, and social stigma.
Elderly and Frail Elderly
The elderly population, defined by HUD as individuals aged 62 or older, is a growing demographic in the City of Hawthorne, accounting for approximately 23 percent of the total population (ACS S0101). A particularly vulnerable subset of this group is the frail elderly, who require assistance with three or more daily living activities.
The City is home to 6,910 elderly households, constituting 25 percent of all households (Table 7). Among these, 4,405 elderly households are low- and moderate-income (≤ 80 percent of AMI). Financial challenges remain pronounced among these elderly households, with 49 percent experiencing cost burdens (2,144 households) and 34 percent facing severe cost burdens (1,499 households).
Elderly households’ reliance on fixed or limited incomes leaves them particularly vulnerable to rising costs, financial instability, and diminished quality of life. As the City’s population continues to age, the demand for housing and supportive services tailored to the needs of elderly and frail elderly residents will grow.
Persons with Disabilities
According to the 2016-2020 ACS data (S1810), approximately 7,914 individuals in the City of Hawthorne have a disability, representing about 9 percent of the total population. The correlation between age and disability is significant, with nearly one third (32 percent or 2,517 residents) of disabled residents being over the age of 65.
Persons with disabilities, defined by HUD as individuals with physical, mental, developmental, or emotional impairments that substantially limit major life activities, represent 9 percent of the City’s population (7,914 residents) (ACS S1810). Disabilities are strongly correlated with age, with 2,517 elderly residents having one or more disabilities, representing 32 percent of the City’s disabled population. The most common disabilities include ambulatory difficulty (49 percent), independent living challenges (39 percent), and cognitive impairments (35 percent).
Persons with disabilities frequently encounter unique barriers to independent living, including limited employment opportunities, high healthcare costs, and discrimination in securing housing. The scarcity of units that are both affordable and accessible further City of Hawthorne – 94 – Consolidated Plan
exacerbates these challenges, highlighting the importance of tailored housing solutions that promote independence and stability.
Persons with Alcohol and Other Drug Addictions
Substance use disorders, including alcohol and drug addictions, continue to pose a significant challenge in Hawthorne. While obtaining accurate data on addiction is difficult due to the stigma surrounding substance use and fear of criminal repercussions, available statistics reveal concerning trends that indicate a pressing need for intervention.
In Los Angeles County, alcohol and other drug related hospitalizations increased by 38 percent from 2012 to 2022 (LA County Public Health). The opioid crisis, in particular, continues to have a profound impact on the community. In 2023, the County reported 2,085 opioid-related deaths, which is a dramatic increase from the 494 deaths in 2014 (LA County Public Health). Alarmingly, 94 percent of these fatalities were linked to fentanyl, highlighting the growing presence of this highly potent synthetic opioid and its devastating consequences.
Substance use often exacerbates barriers to stable housing, employment, and healthcare.
These challenges are further complicated by the stigma surrounding addiction, which frequently discourages individuals from seeking treatment.
Victims of Domestic Violence
In 2022, the Hawthorne Police Department responded to 419 domestic violence related calls. Many survivors require immediate relocation to long-term housing to escape dangerous environments. Survivors face numerous challenges, including financial instability, the need for legal advocacy, and rebuilding their lives after leaving abusive situations.
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.
The housing and supportive service needs of these populations were identified through resident surveys, consultations with stakeholders and service providers, and analyses of local and national data sources and reports. These efforts provided a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges and service gaps faced by these populations.
Elderly and Frail Elderly
The housing and supportive service needs of the elderly and frail elderly residents are centered on maintaining independence, ensuring accessibility, and promoting social connection. Key housing needs include affordable units equipped with aging-in-place features, such as grab bars, ramps, no-step entries, and single-story layouts. Accessible transportation options, proximity to healthcare services, and community-based programs are essential to enhancing quality of life.
City of Hawthorne – 95 – Consolidated Plan
Supportive services must address the unique challenges faced by elderly residents, including fixed incomes, mobility limitations, and social isolation. Services such as in-home care, meal delivery, and social engagement programs are critical to mitigate the risks associated with aging and fostering independence.
Persons with Disabilities
Housing needs for persons with disabilities include affordable and accessible units that accommodate a variety of impairments, such as mobility challenges, sensory disabilities, and cognitive conditions. Features such as widened doorways, no step thresholds, lowered countertops, roll-in showers, and auditory or visual aids are critical to ensuring independence. Proximity to healthcare providers and accessible public transportation further enhances the ability of persons with disabilities to live independently.
Supportive services should include case management, vocational training, and access to specialized healthcare. These services help disabled individuals overcome the unique challenges they face by ensuring they have opportunities for independent living.
Persons with Alcohol and Other Drug Addictions
Stable housing paired with integrated supportive services is vital for individuals recovering from substance use disorders. Transitional housing, sober living environments, and longterm supportive housing provide safe and structured settings conducive to recovery and reintegration into the community.
Supportive services must include detoxification programs, outpatient and inpatient treatment options, counseling, and peer support networks. Prevention and education initiatives targeting youth and at-risk populations are key to altering perception of substance use and mitigating its impact on the community.
Victims of Domestic Violence
Victims of domestic violence often require immediate access to emergency shelters or transitional housing to escape unsafe environments. Long-term supportive housing is also needed to ensure survivors can achieve stability and rebuild their lives.
Supportive services must include counseling, legal advocacy, financial assistance, and workforce development programs to address the comprehensive needs of survivors and promote self-sufficiency.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
Inadequate discharge planning and coordination contributes to homelessness in situations where people are released from public institutions or systems of care without having an appropriate mainstream or supportive housing option available upon discharge from an institutional setting.
City of Hawthorne – 96 – Consolidated Plan
Coordinated discharge planning for those exiting foster care, health and mental health care, and corrections facilities is recognized as a best practice by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor’s Homeless Initiative. One of the goals included in the County’s Plan to Address Homelessness is to build and strengthen regional support systems to help residents obtain and maintain housing. This collective approach emphasizes methods to increase communication, coordination, and data sharing among institutions and service providers which helps ensure that hospitals, jails, and foster care programs can more effectively assist people being discharged by providing appropriate referrals in order to facilitate smoother transition to supportive or mainstream housing. Moreover, the County Board of Supervisors adopted a “zero tolerance” policy for discharging individuals from any County institution, facility, any County sponsored program to homelessness.
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.
During the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan period, the Strategic Plan calls for the City to use CDBG and HOME funds to support activities that benefit people with special needs. In the 2025-2026 Action Plan, the City will provide CDBG funds to the following:
• Fair Housing Foundation: Fair Housing Services (250 persons) • New Star Family Center: Domestic Violence Services (25 persons) • The Richstone Family Center: Behavioral Health Services (25 persons) • City of Hawthorne: Housing Rehabilitation Program (10 households) • City of Hawthorne: Senior Center (6,336 persons)

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment The City of Hawthorne’s regulations are designed to manage growth and maintain community standards. However, certain policies inadvertently hinder the development and preservation of affordable housing. Restrictive zoning, stringent development standards, complex permitting processes, and substantial development fees, all contribute to the ongoing shortage of affordable housing. While these regulations are lawful constraints on housing production, they create barriers that disproportionately impact low- and moderateincome households.
