SUBJECT: Three-Year Maintenance and Licensing Agreement with HLP

RECOMMENDED ACTION

It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year maintenance and licensing contract with HLP Inc. in the amount of $82,791 plus a 10% contingency amount of $8,280 for a total not -to-exceed contract amount of $91,071, to provide maintenance and licensing for the HLP Chameleon integrated Shelter Case Management System.

BACKGROUND

Chameleon gives Hesperia residents an easily accessible manner to search for lost pets or for animals that are available for adoption . Establishing an updated maintenance and licensing agreement will ensure product stability and support for a three-year term.

FISCAL IMPACT

Funding for this agreement will continue to be included in the Information Technology annual operating budget.

SUBJECT: Southern California Edison Grant of Easement

RECOMMENDED ACTION

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 2022-34 to grant an easement to Southern California Edison on Lot A of Tract 17980-1 located on Mission Street just west of Opal Avenue as described in Exhibit “A” and Exhibit “B”.

BACKGROUND

Southern California Edison (SCE) has requested a Grant of Easement from the City of Hesperia.

The subject parcel was dedicated to the City as Lot A of Tract 17980-1 for a detention basin. The portion of this parcel requested for the SCE easement includes a 3-foot wide by 20-foot-long easement on the northeast side of the property approximately 18 feet from the intersecti on of Mission Street and Opal Avenue, as shown on Exhibit B.

SCE will use this easement to construct, use, maintain, operate, alter, add to, repair, replace, reconstruct, inspect and remove at any time and from time to time underground electrical supply systems and communication systems consisting of wires, underground conduits, cables, vaults, manholes, handholes, and including above-ground enclosures, markers and concrete pads and other appurtenant fixtures and equipment necessary or useful for distrib uting electrical energy and for transmitting intelligence, data and/or communications in, on, over, under, across, and along that certain real property.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS

Easements should be granted upon finding that the utility company needs to gain access and perform various types of work and maintenance related to their facilities. Staff has reviewed the Grant of Easement (Exhibit “A”) and Plat (Exhibit “B”) and determined that this dedication for utility easement purposes is necessary for the progress of development within the area.

SUBJECT: HR Green and Transtech Contract Amendments

RECOMMENDED ACTION

It is recommended that the City Council and Board of Directors of the Hesperia Water District (District) authorize the City Manager to approve an amendment to the existing contract with HR Green for an additional $130,000, for a revised not-to-exceed contract amount of $ 150,000, as well as extend the contract an additional 2 years (expiring June 30, 2025) for Engineering plan review services; and approve an amendment to the existing contract with Transtech for an additional $170,000 for a revised not-to-exceed contract amount of $180,000, as well as extend the contract an additional 2 years (expiring June 30, 2025), for Engineering inspection services.

BACKGROUND

City staff elected to seek contract services for plan check and inspection to keep pace with development in the City in lieu of hiring additional staff. HR Green and Transtech were awarded contracts for plan check services in the amount of $20,000 and inspection services in the amount of $10,000 and each for the term of one year. These contracts provide the flexibility to increase or decrease the volume and frequency of contracted services depending on the fluctuating project workloads.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS

During this extremely busy period in the development community, it is necessary to increase the current contract amounts and extend the contract terms to provide and maintain a high level of customer service without hiring additional staff.

FISCAL IMPACT

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 Budget includes funding for plan review and inspection services and will continue to be budgeted on an annual basis.

Chair and Board Members, Hesperia Water District

FROM: Nils Bentsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Agreement With Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority (VVWRA)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended the City Council direct the City Manag er (General Manager Hesperia Water District) to officially notify Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority (VVWRA) that the City of Hesperia will fully exercise its rights under the approved Settlement Agree ment between the City of Hesperia and VVWRA dated September 16, 2021. The City of Hesperia is officially giving its three-year notice of its intent to build its own wastewater plant, divert flow and utilize all rights consistent with the agreement.

BACKGROUND
Hesperia is one of four members of the joint powers authority that make up VVWRA. The other members are The County of San Be rnardino, Apple Valley and Victorville. More than ten years ago The City of Victorville began the process of designing and co nstructing t heir own wastewater plant that would eventually serve industrial users and roughly half of its residential customers. VVWRA as a whole and Hesperia opposed Victorville’s construction of its own wastewater plant. The VVWRA attorney wrote an opinion that Victorville’s actions were illegal and violated a number of existing agreements. Despite the opposition, Victorville constructed its own plant and diverted existing wastewater flow from VVWRA to its own plant. Victorville’s diversion of flow and retaining connection fees caused a financial crisis for VVWRA. Eventually VVWRA was forced to lay off staff and increase rates to all its members to make up for the lost revenue from Victorville’s actions. During this time Victorville’s Council also vo ted to give notice to VVWRA that it was exiting the joint powers authority. That process requires a 30-year exit notice.

Over this time the VVWRA Board could not agree on an action to remedy the dispute caused by Victorville. After a number of years, in response to VVWRA’s inaction and Victorville’s violation of existing agreements, Hesperia began withholding connection fees from VVWRA just as Victorville was doing. Hesperia’s action e ventually caused VVWRA to make settlement agreements with Victorville and Hesperia. Hesperia was able to force a settlement that gave Hesperia the same rights as Victorville. Hesperia is authorized to retain connection fees, build its own wastewater plant and divert existing flow along with other rights.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Settlement Agreement allows Hesperia to keep connection fees for a majority of the City in perpetuity. This amounts to many millions o f dollars from prior years and going forward. The connection fees must be used for wastewater related facilities or expansion.

Victor Knight, Economic Development Manager

SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant (CDB G) 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan and Substantial Amendment to the CDBG 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan

RECOMMENDED ACTION

It is recommended that the City Council conduct a public hearing and upon accepting public testimony: (1) Adopt Resolution No. 20 22-026 approving the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan (AAP) and Substantial Amendment to the 202 0-2021 Annual Action Plan (Substantial Amendment); (2) Authorize staff to modify the AAP and Substantial Amendment based upon the City Council’s direction; (3) Provide City s taff with a met hodology to distribute funds should the City’s 2022-2023 annual allocation increase or decrease; and (4) Authorize the City Manager and/or their designee to execute and transmit all necessary documents , including the adopted Community Development Block Gra nt ( CDBG) 2022-2023 AAP and any amendments to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) , to assure the City’s timely receipt of CDBG funding.

BACKGROUND

HUD mandates that all entitlement communities receiving CDBG funds prepare and subm it a Consolidated Plan every five years to establish a unified, strategic vision for economic development, housing , and community development actions. The Consolidated Plan encompasses the analysis of local community needs and coordinates appropriate responses to those needs and priorities.

Annual Action Plan (AAP)

To ensure compliance with the Consolidated Plan, the City is required to submit an AAP which outlines the planned activities and budgets for the upcoming program year. In addition, each year the City is required to evaluate progress toward meeting the goals identified in the Consolidated Plan. The AAP will appropriate CDBG funds to specific programs and projects for the 2022-2023 program year.

In preparation of the AAP, applications for Administration and Non -Administration/Non-Public Service (Capital) activities were circulated to all City Dep artments. Secondly, an application was sent to Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB) to comply with the CDBG requirements of funding acti vities that address fair housing . Lastly, h ardcopies of the applications were made available at City Hall and on the City’s website . Applications were due on February 14, 2022, at 5:30 p.m. and no late applications were accepted.

Staff Report to the Mayor and Council Members
CDBG 2022-2023 AAP &CDBG 2020-2021 Substantial Amendment April 19, 2022

Substantial Amendment

A Substantial Amendment to a Con Plan and /or AAP is required when a “substantial” change is proposed to funding levels, goals, or activities. In this case, the repurposing and reprogramming of $4 67,000 from three (3) activities to the Peach Avenue Drai nage Improvement Project during the 2022-2023 AAP, triggers a “substantial” change.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS

AAP

Based on the information received from the applications and in consideration of the City’s five- year goals, the proposed 2022-2023 AAP Administration (including Fair Housing activities) and Non-Administration/Non-Public Service funding recommendations for the City Council's consideration is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. The recommended funding allocations address high priority activities including funding for the City’s continuing Street Improvement Project and Peach Avenue Drainage Improvement Project. In accordance with CDBG Program National Objectives, the goal of the AAP is to serve the City ’s low - and moderate -income residents, eliminate slum and/or blight, and meet other urgent community needs. Furthermore, the recommendations are consistent with the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and any amendments to the plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Council retains complete discretion to m odify the CDBG funding recommendations as presented and may propose alternative funding allocations.

As of the date of this notice, HUD has not yet released the City’s 2022 -2023 CDBG annual allocation. For this reason, HUD has advised the City to prepar e its AAP utilizing the City’s current year CDBG annual allocation of $992,601. HUD regulations allow a maximum of 20% ($198,520) of grant funds for eligible Administration/Planning activities, including fair housing initiatives. However, City staff have elected to only allocate $115,000 for Administration/Planning activities. In addition, HUD regulations allow a maximum of 15% of the annual allocation to be allocated for Public Service activities . Under City Council advisement and to reduce the administrative burden on City staff, public service agencies will continue to be funded with less restrictive City funds under its Community Assistance Program (CAP) .

Therefore, the remaining balance of $877,601 will be allocated pursuant to the 2022-2023 AAP.

Due to the uncertainty in the City’s 2022-2023 annual allocation, a request of the City Council is being made to provide staff and the public with a methodology for which activity budgets will be adjusted when the final allocation is released by HUD. It is recommended that City Council adopt the following language for adjusting activity budgets for the CDBG program:

 Should the CDBG allocation be higher than $992,601:

o Balance of additional funds will be allocated to the 2022-2023 Street Improvement Project.
o Funding levels for a ll outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2022-2023 AAP.

 Should the CDBG allocation be lower than $992,601:

o Balance of reduced funds will be deducted from the 2022 -2023 Street Improvement Project.
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2022-2023 Action Plan.

Staff Report to the Mayor and Council Members
CDBG 2022-2023 AAP &CDBG 2020-2021 Substantial Amendment April 19, 2022

Department Recommendations

Exhibit A contains Recommendation s for 2022-2023 funded Administration and Non - Administration/Non-Public Service (Capital) activities. To ensure compliance with meeting the City’s five-year goals, recommend ations for funding of all applications are being proposed at varying funding levels to stay within the budget set aside for Non -Administration/Non-Public Service activities. Each activity that is recommended for funding has received CDBG funds in prior program years and is monitored by the City’s Economic Development Department to ensure overall compliance with the CDBG program. Again, the City Council retains complete discretion to modify the CDBG funding recommendations as presented by staff and may propose alternative allocations.

Due to certain public notic ing and 30 -day review period requirements, the City Council is encouraged to adopt funding allocations, whether the y be as recomm ended by staff or as preferred alternatives from City Council, for the 2022-2023 AAP at its April 19 , 2022, City Council meeting. The 30-day public review period commenced on Friday, March 18, 2022, and concluded thereafter on Tuesday, April 19, 2022 . Upon conclusion of the public comment period, all written documents received will be incorporated into the final document submitted to HUD. In addition, staff will adjust activity budgets in accordance with City Council’s direction prior to submittal to HUD.

Substantial Amendment
The City has elected to repurpose a combined amount of $4 67,000 from the 2020 -2021 Microenterprise Assitance Program (MAP), 2020-2021 Street Improvement Project and 2020-2021 Emerency Housing and Utility Asistance Pro gram (EHUAP) to the Peach Avenue Drainage Improvement Project. All proposed reprogramming of funds will be incorporated into the City’s 2022-2023 AAP as unprogrammed prior year resources. The proposed project includes the construction of pedestrian/drainage structures(s) consisting of Reinforced Concrete Boxes (RCBs), an earthen embankment to raise the profile of the existing roadway and new asphalt roadway over the pedestrian/drainage structure(s). As of the date of this public hearing, the City has alr eady awarded the construction contract for the project. The proposed repurposing of funds will allow the City to full y fund the project with CDBG funds, thus increasing the City’s ability of meeting its timeliness test that will be ran by HUD in May 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT

The City’s 202 2-2023 CDBG entitlement has not yet been released by HUD; however, it is anticipated that it will be approximately $992,601. City Council’s approval of the recommended action adopts the 2022-2023 Action Plan allocating those resources to the programs and activities outlined therein which will be incorporated into the Economic Development Department’s 2022-2023 CDBG budget as required to meet the mandates of the plan. CDBG funds may only be utilized for certain eligible expens es and the 2022-2023 Action Plan satisfies this requirement.

The $477,000 impacted by th e Substantial Amendment has previously been awarded to and received by the City. The Substantial Amendment will require a City budget amendment to reallocate a) $ 147,000 from the 251 -25-270-6011-7500/251-25-270-6011-8000 (MAP) account codes; b) $100,000 from the 251-29-700-7162-8000 (2020-2021 Street Improvement Project) account code; and c) $220,000 from the 251-25-270-2646-7500/251-25-270-2646-8000 (EHUAP) account codes; to the 251-29-700-7158-8000 (Peach Avenue Drainage Improvement

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

1. Introduction
The 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan is the third of five annual plans implementing the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals for the investment of annual allocations of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Annual Action Plan identifies available resources, annual goals, projects and activities for the period beginning July 1, 2022, and ending June 30, 2023.

The City receives CDBG funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, the City typically awards grants to nonprofit s, for-profits and/or public organizations for pr ograms and projects in furtherance of this Plan. The CDBG program generally provide s for a range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income residents, as discussed below.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created the CDBG Program with three (3) primary objectives against which HUD evaluates the Consolidated Plan and the City’s performance under the Plan. Those primary objectives are decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic opportunities for low - and moderate-income persons. The CDBG regulations require that each activity meet one of the following national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons;
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or • Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency (usually the result of a natural disaster).

For the 2022-2023 program year, the City will receive an annual allocation of $992,601 and will also repurpose $467,000* in prior year CDBG funds for a total budget of $1,459,601 to be included in the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan.

* Includes $147,000 from the Microenterprise Assistance Program (MAP), $100,000 from the 20/21 Street Improvement Project and $220,000 from the Emergency Housing and Utility Assistance Program (EHUAP)

City of Hesperia - 2 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

The CDBG program activities to be implemented from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, include:
2022-2023 CDBG Public Service Activities
Public Service activities will be funded through City leveraged funds. Therefore, all funds originally budgeted for Public Service activities will be programmed to Non-Administration/Non-Public Service activities (also referred to as Capital Activities).
2022-2023 CDBG Capital Activities
• City – Street Improvement Project $877,601
• City – Peach Avenue Drainage Improvement Project $467,000 2022-2023 CDBG Program Administration Activities
• City - Program Administration $100,000 • Inland Fair Housing & Mediation Board - Fair Housing Services $15,000 TOTAL ALLOCATION FY 2022-2023: $1,459,601

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan HUD’s Community Planning and Development (CPD) Outcome Performance Measurement Framework classifies objectives in three (3) categories: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunity. Based on the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis, the Strategic Plan identifies four (4) high priority needs to be addressed through the implementation of activities aligned with the four (4) Strategic Plan goals.

The four (4) high priority needs include:
• Provide public facility and infrastructure improvements to create a suitable living environment • Strengthen economic opportunity through business assistance • Ensure equal access to housing opportunities
• Prevent, prepare for, respond to coronavirus
The following four (4) goals are identified in the Strategic Plan:

3. Evaluation of past performance
The investment of HUD resources during the 2015 -2019 and 2020 -2021 program years was a catalyst for positive change in the community. Together with other federal, state and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City and its partners to accomplish the following goals during the prior year five (5) year Consolidated Plan cycle and 2020-2021 program year (current year 2021-2022 CDBG accomplishments not available as of the preparation of this document):

During July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, the City and its partners were able to utilize CDBG funds to accomplish the following:

• Complete the reconstruction of the streets encompassed in the City’s 2019 -2020 Street Improvement Project which benefitted 4,000 unduplicated residents. • Award and commence the reconstruction of streets encompassed in the City’s 20 20-2021 Street Improvement Project which will benefit approximately 3,485 unduplicated residents. • Continue engineering and design efforts on the Peach Avenue Drainage Improvement

Project which will benefit approximately 11,140 unduplicated residents. • Provide fair housing and landlord tenant mediation services to 540 unduplicated residents • Implemented the City’s Emergency Housing and Utility Assistance Program (EHUAP) which provided rental, mor tgage and utility assistance to 15 unduplicated households amounting to a total of 50 unduplicated residents.
• Implemented the City’s Microenterprise Assistance Program (MAP) which reviewed and approved one (1) eligible business.
• Implemented the City’s Emer gency Business Assistance Program (EBAP) which reviewed and approved three (3) eligible businesses.

During the prior five-year 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan cycle, the City and its partners were able to utilize CDBG funds to accomplish the following:

• Complete th e following Capital Improvement Projects which assisted a total of 15,980 unduplicated residents:

o Fir and Rodeo Dirt Road Paving Project – 965 unduplicated residents o 2016-2017 Street Improvement Project – 7,655 unduplicated residents o 2017-2018 Street Improvement Project - 5,310 unduplicated residents o 2018-2019 Street Improvement Project – 965 unduplicated residents • Commence the reconstruction o f streets enc ompassed in the City’s 2019-2020 Street Improvement Project which will benefit approximately 4,000 unduplicated residents. • Commence engineering and design efforts on the Peach Avenue Drainage Improvement Project which will benefit approximately 11,140 unduplicated residents. • Provide 48 Energy Efficiency and Minor Home Repair (EEMR) grants • Provide 14 Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (HRLP) grants/loans • Provide fair housing and landlord tenant mediation services to 3,023 unduplicated residents • Provide public service for low-income families to 2,109 unduplicated residents • Provide senior services to 179 unduplicated residents • Provide homeless prevention services to 472 unduplicated residents While the City and local partners were able to successfully implement the activities listed above during the past six (6) years, there were insufficient resources to fully address all community needs.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Subsequent to the enactment of the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009, HUD revised the Consolidated Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91 to emphasize the importance of citizen participation and consultation in the development of the Consolidated Plan. HUD strengthened the consultation process with requirements for consultation

City of Hesperia - 5 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

with the CoC, Public Housing Authorities (PHA), business leaders, civic leaders, and public or private agencies that address housing, health, social service, victim services, employment, or education needs of low -income individuals and families, homeless individuals and families, youth and/or other persons with special needs. Together with the analytic capabilities of the eCon Plan Suite, these requirements created t he conditions necessary to implement a collaborative, data - driven and place -based planning process that includes a robust level of citizen participation and consultation.

The City adopted a new Citizen Participation Plan on September 17, 2019 (subsequently amended on November 17, 2020) that reflects regulatory changes and process improvements. In accordance with the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan, the City facilitated citizen participation through resident and stakeholder surveys, internet outreach, community meetings, in person consultations and public hearings. Efforts were made to encourage participation by low - and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in slum and blighted areas and in areas where HUD funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.

The City also made efforts to encourage the participation of minorities and non -English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. Per the City’s approved Limited Engl ish Proficiency (LEP) Plan, public notices soliciting citizen participation were published in both English and Spanish.

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.

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

1. Introduction
The City consulted with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, creation of job opportunities for low - and moderate - income residents, and/or provision of services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following methods:
• Resident and stakeholder surveys (web-based and paper-surveys) • Individual resident and stakeholder consultations
• Community meetings
• Public hearings
• Receipt of written comments
The input gathered from these consultation partners helped establish and inform the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan of the City’s 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan and further incorporated into the City’s 202 2-2023 Annual Action Plan . Specific comments received from consultation partners are included as Appendix A.

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

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

The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the 2022-2023 program year with these organizations and agencies. The City will work on strengthening relationships and alignment among these organizations.

City of Hesperia - 9 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veter ans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness San Bernardino County’s homeless 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, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. The non -profit and faith -based community play 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 famili es with children, and single men and women. The non -profit and faith -based community also serve special needs populations, such as victims of domestic violence, veterans, the disabled and youth.

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

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate E SG 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 90 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 low -income households and homeless h ouseholds individuals 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 directly in person, by telephone and email to discuss performance standards, outcomes, and policies and procedures for HMIS.

Table 3 provides a listing of the entities consulted as part of this planning process.

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

Community meetings to discuss the economic, housing and community development needs i n the community were held on September 21, 2019, and September 25, 2019.

A public hearing was held on April 21, 2020 , before the City Council where the purpose of the hearing was to receive comments on the draft 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan, 2020 -2021 Annual Action Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice.

A public hearing was held on April 19, 2022 , before the City Council where the purpose of the hearing was to receive comments on the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan.

Matching Requirements
The City does not receive Home Investment Partnerships ( HOME) or ESG funds as part of its entitlement allocation. The amount of matching is therefore, not applicable for the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan.

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

While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets are tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies (Successor Agencies) that may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce. As of the execution of this document there are currently no publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan.

Discussion
During July 2022 through June 2023, the City will rely on other public and private funding, including but not limited to:
• Low-Income Housing Tax Credits
• Project-based Section 8 certificates
• Project financing at favorable interest rates from local lenders • Private market real estate investments

City of Hesperia - 51 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

• Market rate housing that subsidizes affordable units on the same development site to enhance the availability, affordability and sustainability of affordable housing.

Along with leveraged dollars, the City expects to spend approximately $1,359,601 of CDBG funds during the 202 2-2023 program year on fair housing and public facility and infrastructure improvement activities that promote a suitable living environment. It is anticipated that approximately $1,344,601 of these funds will be spent on public facility and infrastructure projects.

Introduction
To address the high priority needs identified in the Strategic Plan to the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan, the City will invest CDBG funds during the 202 2-2023 program year on projects that provide fair housing services and improve public facilities and infrastructure.

Together, these projects will address the housing, community, and economic development needs of Hesperia residents-particularly those residents residing in the low- and moderate- income CDBG Target Areas.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating over 70 percent of its non -administrative CDBG investment for program year 202 2-2023 to projects and activities that benefit low - and moderate -income people. Due to the nature of the projects and activities to be undertaken, investments in projects concerning public facility and infrastructure improvements are limited to the CDBG Target A reas while other projects and activities benefit low- and moderate-income limited clientele.

The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low - and moderate -income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sou rces for infrastructure improvements or projects that address the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To address these obstacles, the City is investing $1,344,601 of CDBG funds in the 202 2-2023 Annual Action Plan for the Peach Avenue Drainage Improvemen t Project and the Annual Street Improvement Project that will reconstruct deteriorated streets and/or dirt roads and ADA ramps in eligible CDBG areas.

Assistance will be primarily directed to low- and moderate-income persons or households; however, all public facility and infrastructure improvement project funds will be directed at the CDBG Target Areas which are shown on the map included in Appendix B. The CDBG Target Areas are comprised of low- and moderate-income Census Tract Block Groups concentrated in the northern half of the City. Residents of the CDBG Target Areas have median incomes substantially below the citywide median household income of $44,874. Based on available data and mapping in NA -15 of the Consolidated Plan, the CDBG Target Areas are primarily Hispanic.

City of Hesperia - 60 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
Two high priority affordable housing needs were identified through the City’s 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan resident and stakeholder surveys.

Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing
Based on evaluation of 2 011-2015 ACS and CHAS data, there is a high need for housing units affordable for households earning less than 80 percent of AMI. Of the 13,395 households earning 0-80 percent of AMI in the City, 9,060 are cost burdened households—meaning households paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Additionally, 4,765 of the cost burdened households are considered severely cost burdened households—meaning that they pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Of the 4,765 severely cost burde ned households, 2,830 are renters. Of those severely cost burdened renter households, 2,570 households earn less than 50 percent of AMI and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless.

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

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

According to CHAS data, showing the year that housing units were built categorized by owner and renter tenure:
• 4,785 or 29.5 percent of the 16,240 owner-occupied housing units in the City were built 34 or more years ago (built prior to 1980)
• 7,525 or 46.3 percent of the 16,240 owner -occupied housing units in the City were built between 15 and 34 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999)

City of Hesperia - 61 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

• 3,755 or 37.5 percent of the 10,010 renter -occupied housing units in the City were built 34 or more years ago (built prior to 1980)
• 4,120 or 41.2 percent of the 10,010 renter -occupied housing units in the City were built between 15 and 34 years ago (built between 1980 and 1999) Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low - and moderate-income households is a cost -effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to low - and moderate -income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities provided that all economic segments of the community have the means to ensure that their property meets local standards and that all City residents have the opportunity to live in decent housing.

Table 13 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Type Discussion
A review of the resident and stakeholder surveys identified a high priority need to expand the supply of affordable housing and a high priority need to preserve the supply of affordable housing. However, due to limited funding during the 2022-2023 program year, the City will not be investing CDBG funds in the preservation of affordable housing units but for public facility and infrastructure improvement activities.

However, during the 2022-2023, the City will utilize Hesperia Housing Authority (HHA) funds under its Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (HRLP) and Sewer Connection Program (SCP) to assist low- and moderate-income households with the rehabilitation of their homes and sewer connections.

City of Hesperia - 62 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The City of Hesperia Housing Authority (HHA) was formed on April 5, 2011, under State of California Housing Authority Law to actively improve existing neighborhoods and develop affordable housing opportunities using local, state, and federal resources. The HHA does not administer Section 8 and does not own HUD Public Housing; h owever, the City is within the service area of the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) for the purposes of Section 8 and Public Housing.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The City of Hesperia has partnered with builder DMB Development and investors Schlegel Capital and The Beaumont Group to oversee the massive Tapestry Housing project. The construction has commenced and is anticipated to created approximately 15,663 homes. The development is anticipated to take approximately two (2) decades to complete and will increase the City’s population by nearly half. Although home sizes have not yet been discussed, the focus will be for affordable residences as prices for the project’s first homes will ra nge between $300,000 and $500,000, with a number of options for 55-plus seniors (The Sun).

HACSB does not plan to add any new Public Housing units and does not plan to award any new project-based vou chers in FY 2021 -2022 (HACSB, 2022 Annual Plan). However, HACSB will continue their efforts to maintain and expand the supply of affordable housing units in the City and throughout San Bernardino County through its partnerships with the State of California and San Bernardino County Department of Community Development and Housing.

During the 2022-2023 program year, HACSB will continue providing housing and public services to existing residents of HUD Public Housing units and HACSB -owned affordable housing un its. To enhance the quality of HUD Public Housing units, HACSB will continue to work towards converting existing HUD Public Housing units currently under HACSB’s management and control to Section 8 units as part of HUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration (RA D) program. By the end of 2019, HACSB had converted its entire original portfolio of public housing under RAD, with only the 98-unit Los Olivos development in Upland remaining to convert (HACSB 2019 Annual Report) . It is expected that the 98 units at the Los Olivos development will be converted out of Public Housing through RAD during the 2022 calendar year.

In late 2021, the San Bernardino County and Related California executives celebrated the grand opening of the third phase of the Bloo mington Affordable Housing Community located on 5 acres and containing 98 ne w affordable housing units. The development will also include a new 8,500 -

City of Hesperia - 63 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

square foot public park and community center that will provide facilities and services for the future public park that will be located to the north of the development, slated for completion in 2022. The development is an integral piece to the overall countywide neighborhood revitalization spearheaded by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors (County Wire, December 2021).

Two initial phases of the Waterman Gardens redevelopment have already been completed. Valencia Vista, the first phase with 76 units, opened in December 2016. In the fall of 2017, HACSB celebrated the grand opening of the Olive Meadow A ffordable Housing Community, consisting of 62 high - quality affordable homes representing the second phase of the Arrowhead Grove Housing Community Revitalization Project (formerly the Waterman Gardens Affordable Housing Community Project). The Arrowhead Grove Housing Community Revitalization Project was awarded $20 million in Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program funds, $55 million in tax - exempt bond allocations and $22.5 million in low -income tax credits. The new construction will provide 184 mixed -income family apartments comprised of 147 affordable one - to four-bedroom family units, 35 market-rate units and 2 units for property managers, (HACSB 2018 & 2019 Annual Report). Construction commenced on the third on site phase of the Ar rowhead Grove mixed - income housing development in October 2019, Crestview Terrace, and was completed in late 2021.

Inclusive of all phases, Arrowhead Grove includes about 400 units as well as community amenities like a pool and club house, upgraded infrastr ucture, walking paths, a community garden and a computer lab for residents.

Fully leased in 2020, Golden Apartments in Victorville is the first permanent supportive housing development to house and serve homeless individuals. The project converted a dilapidated property consisting of 21 two-bedroom units into a fully renovated apartment complex consisting of 38 one - bedroom flats with amenities including a community room, counseling meeting spaces for on-site social services, laundry facilities and outdoor patio for the chronically homeless (HACSB 2020 Annual Report).

Similarly, the 61 rooms at Desert Haven w ere converted to 31-unit single or double occupancy apartment complex. Both developments utilized the Housing First approach to help residents become self-sufficient, (HACSB 2018 & 2019 Annual Report). Combined, these developments have provided 69 units of housing for homeless individuals, (HACSB 2020 Annual Report). Furthermore, HACSB plans to reduce the minimum rent for all families residing at both the Golden Apartments and Desert Haven housing sites, with families paying the applicable Streamlined Lease Assistance (MTW Activity 22) rent with a reduced minimum rent of $0, (HACSB 2022 Annual Plan).

HACSB has made formal commitments to assist AMCAL Multi -Housing Inc., with project -based vouchers to support the construction of 112 affordable family units in Colton, Las Terrazas. AMCAL Multi-Housing Inc. is expected to apply for low -income housing tax credits in early 2020 (HACSB 2019 Annual Report) . Las Terrazas Apartments is an affordable multi -family apartment complex currently in development in unincorporated San Bernardino. The family community of 112 units will

City of Hesperia - 64 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

range in size from 525 to 1,020 net livable feet. The building mix will consist of five residential building, one community building and one childcare building, all constructed on one six -acre site.

The development is anticipated to be completed in 2022.

Valencia Grove in Redlands was the first public housing site built in the County. The original 115 - unit public housing site was long overdue. The revitalization of this public housing site will consist of three phases, the first of which was c ompleted in April 2016 and comprised of 85 new apartment homes. HACSB and affiliate nonprofit Housing Partners I, Inc. continue d to work with ONXY Architects to complete construction documents by early 2020 to implement the 104-unit Phase II of affordable family units (HACSB 2020 Annual Report) . On April 15, 2021, HACSB issued the Invitation for Bids for the demolition and erosion control services for Phase II with an estimated 30 working days for completion. Full development of Phase II is anticipated in 2023. Phase III will include 39 new single-family homes.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
HACSB encourages residents to be actively involved in the community and in the m anagement of public housing developments through resident councils and numerous opportunities for feedback such as community meetings and surveys. HACSB and the City also actively encourage and promote public housing residents to explore homeownership oppo rtunities and programs through HACSB’s Homeownership Assistance Program (HAP) targeted at current residents. The Homeownership program utilizes a variety of methods to aid participants on their path to homeownership, including Section 32 (converted public housing), Section 8 Homeownership, and a Community Land Trust. HACSB also encourages and supports residents in participating in homebuyer counseling programs and recommends residents use the family self-sufficiency escrow account to save money towards homeownership. Under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) participants develop a five -year training and service plan that outlines the steps to become employed, increase their earnings, and become independent of government assistance. Upon graduation of the FSS program, graduates are allowed to use the escrow account funds towards homeownership (HACSB 2018 Annual Report).

Under the Housing Authorities Homeownership Assistance Program, families are provided mortgage assistance for up to 15 years for working families and up to 30 years for disabled families.

A total of 251 families have become homeowners through the program s ince 2000 (HACSB 2020 Annual Report).

Through Calhome and State HOME funds, t he City will administer a First -Time Homebuyer Down Payment Assistance Program (DAP) which is intended to assist eligible low- and moderate-income

City of Hesperia - 65 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

households by providing a portio n of the eligible purchaser’s total down payment. In addition, the City will provide a number of resources on services for foreclosure prevention and counseling.

If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
Not applicable. HACSB is considered a High Performing PHA.

Discussion
HACSB is well-positioned to maintain and expand the supply of affordable housing units in the City and throughout San Bernardino County through its part nerships with the State of California, San Bernardino County Department of Community Development and Housing, the City, and other cities throughout the county.

City of Hesperia - 66 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City will invest leveraged CDBG funds during the 202 2-2023 program year to address high priority needs identified in the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan including preventing homelessness and providing assistance to those who have become homeless and providing services to those with special needs. This will be accomplished through homeless prevention programs, emergency shelter and transitional housing.

Homelessness Prevention Services
According to the results of the most recent data available from the 2020 San Bernardino County Homeless Count and Subpopulation Survey, on any given night in San Bernardino County, approximately 3,125 people are homeless. To address incidences of homelessness in the City and to prevent extremely-low income Hesperia families from becoming homeless, the City places a high priority on programs that work to prevent homelessness or rapidly connect homeless individuals with housing and supportive services. To address this need, the City will support a continuum of services in the City utilizing its leveraged CDBG funds and through the San Bernardino County CoC to prevent and eliminate homelessness including, but not limited to, homelessness prevention programs such as rental and mortgage assistance, emergency shelter programs and transitional housing. Using leveraged CDBG funds, the City will invest in homelessness prevention services provided directly by the City and by local non-profits.

In 2019, the State of California enacted the Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention Program (HHAP – Round 1), which was a $650 million block grant program to provide one-time grant funds to support regional coordination and expand or develop local capacity to move homeless individuals and families into permanent housing. The local recipient of these funds was the local CoC and the County. Subsequently, Round 2 was released, which provided $300 million for supporting local jurisdictions continue to build on regional collaboration developed through previous rounds of Homeless Coordinating and F inancing Council (HCFC) funding to develop a unified regional response to homelessness. HHAP’s Round 3 $1 billion block grant will be used to continue to build regional coordination and a unified regional response to reduce and end homelessness informed by a best-practices framework focused on moving homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their permanent housing. Applications for Round 3 will be released in February 2022 (HHAP Round 3 - NOFA).

City of Hesperia - 67 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

The State of California has approved several other grant programs directed at addressing homelessness. The No-Place-Like-Home (NPLH) Program will be awarding $2 billion to counties to finance design, construction, rehabilitation, or preservation along with creating operating expenses for permanent supportive housing for persons experiencing homelessness. The State currently provides grants to counties through its Housing for a Healthy California Program for permanent supportive housing for individuals who are recipients of or eligible for health care provided through the California Department of Health Care Services, Medi-Cal program.

In July 2021, the California COVID-19 Rent Relief Program was provided $5.2 billion to cover 100% of past -due rent going a s far back as April 2020, as well as current utility bills. The program continues to assist both landlords and tenants by covering 100% of the rent owed by the tenants, preventing tenants from being evicted and potentially homeless. In 2021, t he San Bernar dino County Rent Relief Partnership (SBCRRP), which helped cover 12 months of past-due rent, as well as utilities functions, transitioned to the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief Program. A similar program titled the California Mortgage Relief Program was made available in late 2021 with $1 billion funded towards the program by the 2021 American Rescue Plan’s Homeowners Assistance Fund. The CA Mortgage Relief Program shares the same goal of preventing homelessness by assisting homeowners who have fallen behind on their housing payments du e to COVID-related financial hardships and preventing a potential foreclosure that can lead to homelessness.

Established in March of 2020, Project Roomkey provides a place outside a hospital to stay for those who are homeless as well as those recovering from and who are currently exposed to COVID -19.

The program collaborates with the State and County to secure hotel and motel rooms to be used for these purposes. This program provide s sheltering options for the homeless, seeks to protect human life, and minimize the capacity strain found within the health care system. Between the 2020- 2022 fiscal years, Project Roomkey has spent approximately $262 million. Although the program is winding down, Department of Social Services ( DSS) is currently in the process of working with all Project Roomkey grantees to develop and execute local rehousing plans. The administration indicates that the timeline for completing these transition plans varies by community.

City of Hesperia - 68 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

In 2021, the City of Victorville applied for and was rewarded $28 million by the Homekey Grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The funds will be used for the City’s Wellness Center Campus, a 4.5-acre facility aimed towards stabilizing and rebuilding the lives of homeless and those who are at risk of becoming homeless through interim housing and supportive services including a medical clinic, recuperative care, substance abuse counseling, job training and placement, public benefits assistance, pet care and housing navigation. Housing within the facility will offer 110 separate units with a minimum capacity of 170 beds . Construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2022 with a completion date of late 2022 or early 2023.

Services for Residents with Special Needs
Analysis of available data and consultation with organizations providing services for special needs populations revealed a high need for a range of additional se rvices including, but not limited to, those concerned with developmentally disabled adults. To address these needs, the City will fund public facility and infrastructure improvements such as street and sidewalk improvements, to make them ADA accessible for disabled adults.

Describe the jurisdictions one -year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through coordination of regional strategies carried out locally by government agencies and a wide variety of community - based organizations and faith -based groups. Consistent with this approach, the City supports the efforts of San Bernardino County Continuum of Care (CoC) and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout San Bernardino County. In alignment with this strategy, the City will use general fund dollars to fund local service providers that p rovide homelessness prevention services, shelter and shelter related services, counseling and food.

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

City of Hesperia - 69 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

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

The CoC is improving the efficacy of emergency shelters and the access system including their seasonal emergency shelters and the County’s three (3) Cold Weather Shelter facilities, the closest being located in the City of San Bernardino and temporary warming shelter in the City of Victorville. In 2021, Hesperia’s neighboring city, the City of Victorville applied for and was rewarded $28 million by the Homekey Grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The funds will be used for the City’s Wellness Center Campus, a 4.5 -acre facility aimed towards stabilizing and rebuilding the lives of homeless and those who are at risk of becomin g homeless through interim housing and supportive services including a medical clinic, recuperative care, substance abuse counseling, job training and placement, public benefits assistance, pet care and housing navigation. Housing within the facility will offer 110 separate units with a minimum capacity of 170 beds. Construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2022 with a completion date of late 2022 or early 2023.

For transitional housing, the C oC recognizes a need to maintain a level of tra nsitional housing for the target populations that benefit most from a staged approach to housing, such as mentally ill and chronically homeless individuals. While the CoC continues to support transitional housing in special circumstances, the CoC is curren tly examining ways to shorten stays in emergency shelters and transitional housing so that resources may be used for rapid re-housing or placement in permanent supportive housing.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and fa milies, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitati ng access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In support of CoC efforts, this City’s Strategic Plan provides for the use of general funds to support activities implemented by the City and local nonprofit organizations that provide services to help prevent and eliminate homelessness, including families at risk of homelessness, veterans, victims of domestic violence and emancipated foster youth.

City of Hesperia - 70 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

Additional efforts are underway at the regional level to shorten the period that individuals and families are experiencing homelessness and to prevent individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. The 2-1-1 regularly works with public service agencies to analyze the resources and funding being used to operate transitional housing programs and consider how these resources could be used more in alignment with the best practices (i.e., rapid re-housing and permanent housing) for ending homelessness. Many transitional housing providers are working to End Homelessness to evaluate strategies to lower program threshold requirements and improve outcomes including shorter shelter stays and more rapid transitions to permanent housing.

The City recently amended its Zoning Ordinance to conditionally permit Single -Room Occupancy (SRO) housing in the residential zones of the Main Street and Freeway Corridor Specific Plan area.

This change in the Zoning Ordinance is anticipat ed to increase the amount of available affordable housing units to house individuals and prevent homelessness.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low - income individuals and families and those who are : being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
An individual or family is considered at-risk of becoming homeless if it experiences extreme difficulty maintaining their housing and has no reasonable al ternatives for obtaining subsequent housing.

Homelessness often results from a complex set of circumstances that require people to choose between food, shelter and other basic needs. Examples of common circumstances that can cause homelessness include eviction, loss of income, insufficient income, disability, increase in the cost of housing, discharge from an institution, irreparable damage or deterioration to housing, and fleeing from family violence.

The most effective and cost -efficient means to address homelessness is to prevent episodes of homelessness from occurring in the first place. San Bernardino County’s current CoC system encourages services aimed at reducing incidences of homelessness, including:
• Emergency Rental and Utility Assistance: Short-term financial assistance to prevent eviction and utility shut-off.
• Credit Counseling: Financial counseling and advocacy to assist households to repair credit history.
• Legal/Mediation Services: Tenant-landlord legal/mediation services to prevent eviction. • Food Banks and Pantries: Direct provision of food, toiletries and other necessities.

City of Hesperia - 71 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

• Transportation Assistance: Direct provision of bus vouchers and other forms of transportation assistance.
• Clothing Assistance: Direct provision of clothing for needy families and individuals. • Prescription/Medical/Dental Services: Direct provision of prescription, medical and dental services.
• Workforce Development: Direct provision of job training services designed to develop and enhance employment skills, as well as to help clients secure and retain living wage jobs. • Information & Referral Services: Direct provision of 24 -hour/7-days-a-week call center services to provide health and human service information to at-risk populations. • Recuperative care for homeless individuals who become ill or injured.

In 2021, Hesperia’s neighboring city, the City of Victorville applied for and was rewarded $28 million by the Homekey Grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development.

The funds will be used for the City’s Wellness Center Campus . The campus will provide those individuals who have been discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care a place of stability and rebuilding. The campus will provide a low barrier emergency she lter, recuperative care facility, medical clinic, interim housing and wrap around supportive services to help individuals and families get back on their feet and housed.

Discussion
With limited CDBG resources available, the City is investing general funds through the City’s Community Assistance Program (CAP) to fund local agencies that provide services to the community to help prevent homelessness in the City.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
A barrier to affordable housing i s a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and availability o f monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.

Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the draft 2013-2021 Housing Element and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in the City are housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two (2) barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply and insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.

Actions it planned to remo ve or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting th e return on residential investment
In the development of the 2013-2021 Housing Element, the City evaluated significant public policies affecting affordable housing development such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges and gro wth limitations. Based on this evaluation, the City determined that it has taken all necessary steps to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may have been a barrier to affordable housing. An update to the Housing Element (2021 -2029) fur ther reports that the City has recently completed several affordable housing projects and is in the planning/approval stages for several additional affordable housing projects, indicating that the City’s existing development standards do not constrain affordable housing development. Examples of changes made or to be made include but are not limited to:
- Single-Room Occupancy ( SRO) – The City recently amended its Zoning Ordinance to conditionally permit SRO housing in the residential zones of the Main Street and Freeway Corridor Specific Plan area.
- Farmworker Housing – The City plans to amend the Zoning Ordinance within one year of the adoption of the City’s Housing Element to address the Employee Housing Act with regard to farmworker housing. In addition, the City plans to amend the Zoning Ordinance to permit by right

City of Hesperia - 73 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

farm labor housing for 36 persons in a group quarters or 12 units intended for families on properties where agricultural uses are permitted.
- Housing for Persons with Disabilities – The City plans to create a process within one year of the adoption of the Housing Element for making requests for reasonable accommodation to land use and zoning decisions and procedures regulating the siting, funding, development and use of housing for people with disabilities.

Discussion
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, th e City’s Strategic Plan as identified in their 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan calls for the investment of a portion of CDBG funds for Fair Ho using Services to ensure fair housing choices. Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds, the City will continue to leverage its funds to attract private and other available public resources.

Lastly, the City’s updated 2021-2029 Housing Element notes the following to help ameliorate negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing:
• The City has outlined certain concessions for development standards in its Landscape Ordinance. Affordable h ousing developments are permitted to use one -gallon shrubs and five-gallon trees, instead of the otherwise required five-gallon shrubs and 15-gallon trees. • The City of Hesperia has established a density bonus program to encourage the production of housing for lower and moderate -income households by offering developers density increases beyond the maximum allowed under the applicable zoning district and land use element of the general plan in exchange for the construction of below -market rate units. In addition, other development incentives may be permitted. • Current state law requires jurisdictions to provide density bonuses and development incentives to all developers who propose to construct affordable housing on a sliding scale, where the amount of density bonus and number of incentives vary according to the amount of affordable housing units provided. In May of 2011, the City’s Development Code was updated to reflect these new requirements.
• Under AB 1763, housing projects where all units are affordable to low and very low-income residents qualify for an 80% density bonus, except that up to 20 percent of the total units in the development may be for moderate -income households. AB 1763 provides for a fourth incentive and concession to 100% affordable projects. For housing projects that qualify as a special needs or supportive housing development, AB 1763 completely eliminates all local parking requirements. A development that is a special needs housing development shall have

City of Hesperia - 74 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

either paratransit service or unobs tructed access, within one -half mile, to fixed bus route service that operates at least eight times per day. The development code will be amended in 2020 to reflect the changes in Density Bonus Law.
• In October 2019, SB 13, AB 68, and AB 881 were adopted in to law with the intention of facilitating the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in California. One key component of the new ADU laws is that the City is now required to allow Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (Junior ADUs). In June 2020, the de velopment code was amended to be consistent with state law.
• AB 671 requires cities to include a plan that incentivizes and promotes the creation of ADUs that can be offered at affordable rent for very low, low -, or moderate-income households in its housing element. California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is also to develop a list of existing state grants and financial incentives for operating, administrative, and other expenses in connection with the planning, construction, a nd operation of ADUs with affordable rent. The list was required to be posted on the HCD website by December 31, 2020. The development code will be amended within one year following certification of the Housing Element to address the requirements of AB 671.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction
In the implementation of the 202 2-2023 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG funds to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty -level families, develop institutional structure and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low - and moderate -income people include lack of funding from federal, state, and other local sources for infrastructure improvements or projects that address the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To address these obstacles, the City is investing $1,344,601 of CDBG funds in the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan for the Peach Avenue Drainage Improvement and the Annual Street Improvement Project which will reconstruct deteriorated streets and ADA ramps in eligible CDBG areas.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In the implementation of the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan, the City has decided to award a majority of its funds to the Peach Avenue Drainage Improvement Project and Annual Street Improvement Project. However, the City will look at pursuing other funding streams such as State and County sources to fund activities that address affordable housing needs throughout the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan period. In addition, the City will continue to take calls and maintain a waiting list for applicants who are interested in participating in the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (HRLP), Minor Home Repair Program (MHRP), and First-Time Homebuyer Program (FTHP) should the City elect to allocate funds to any of these programs in the future.

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

City of Hesperia - 76 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals established in the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan and th e 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty-level families by:
• Supporting activities that preserve and improve public facility and infrastructure to benefit low-and moderate-income residents of Hesperia;
• Supporting activities that fulfill the HUD mandate to further fair housing choice throug h the provision of fair housing education, counseling, anti -discrimination and landlord -tenant mediation; and
• Fund the needs of the administration to run the CDBG program.

In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, CARES Act and Head Start provide pathways out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally, in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKs, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi -Cal.

Together; these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse and domestic violence.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City has a long track record of successful partnerships among public and private sector entities.

The delivery system for the HUD grant programs is no exception. Communication and cooperation between the City’s Economic Development Department and the partner agencies and organizations that administer activities is strong. City staff continues to work closely with the other organizations to improve regulatory compliance, monitoring, cooperation and partnerships among agencies and technical capacity of organizations involved in project delivery.

The single most significant gap in the service delivery system remains the lack of available funding to support local programs in the City for special needs populations and persons experiencing homelessness. The City is not a direct recipient of ESG funds; therefore, most of the HUD funding to address homelessness is available through the San Bernardino Continuum of Care. State funding has been drastically reduced and City funds for this purpose are limited. It will be difficult to accommodate increasing levels of need in the community and increases in the cost of providing services to homeless and special needs populations without a significant increase in CDBG funding.

City of Hesperia - 77 - 2022 Annual Action Plan

Actions planned to enhance coordination betwe en public and private housing and social service agencies
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will continue consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low - and moderate - income residents in the City —particularly the CDBG Target Areas. With improvements in technology, the City will expand its outreach efforts to enhance coordination with public and private housing and social service agencies through social media platforms such Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The City has also developed its CAP program which utilizes City leveraged dollars to fund non-profits through less administratively restrictive funds to ensure its residents are provided the services they require and deserve.

Discussion
In the implementation of the 202 2-2023 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG funds to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty -level families, develop institutional structure and enhance coordination between public and private ho using and social service agencies.

ANTECEDENTES

Plan de Desempeño 2022-2023: La Ciudad es una comunidad con derecho a participar en el Programa de Subsi dios Globales para el Desarrollo Comunitario (CDBG, por sus siglas en inglés) el cual requier e la presentac ión de Cinco Años de Plan Consolidado como parte de la solicitud para subsidios que somete el Ayuntamiento a HUD y el cual fue

aprobado y sometido a HUD en abril de 2020. El Plan establece un marco de trabajo de prioridades de vivienda, comunidad y desarrollo económico para el programa de CDBG para los siguientes cinco años. El Plan de Desempeño 2022-2023 representa el tercer año del Pl an Consolidado de Cinco Años de 2020-2024. El Pl an de Desempeño asignará fondos de CDBG a programas y proyec tos específicos para el Año Fiscal 2022-2023. A la fecha de este aviso, HUD aún no ha publicado la asig nación anual de CDBG de la Ciudad para 2022-2023. Por esta razón, HUD ha aconsejado a la Ciudad que prepare su borrador del Plan de Desempeño Anual 2022-2023 utilizando la asignación anual CDBG del año actual de $992,601, para implementar programas y proyectos que benefician a residentes de bajos y moderados ingresos.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires all entitlement communities receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, such as the City of Hesperia, to prepare and submit a Consolidated Plan every five years to establish a unified, strategic vision for economic development, housing and community development actions. The Consolidated Plan encompasses the analysis of local community needs and coordinates appropriate responses to those needs and priorities.

The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified in the C onsolidated Plan.

Per the City’s Citizen Participation Plan (CPP), a Substantial Amendment to a Consolidated Plan and Action Plan is required when a “substantial” change is proposed as it relates to funding priorities, proposed activities, goals and objec tives. This substantial amendment to the Action Plan is necessary because the City is proposing to reprogram funds previously allocated to the 2020-2021 Microenterprise Assistance Program (MAP) , 20/21 Street Improvement Project and 20/21 Emergency Housing and Utility Assistance Program (EHUAP) to the existing Peach Avenue Drainage Improvement Project. All proposed reprogramming of funds will be incorporated into the City’s draft 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan as unprogrammed prior year resources.

FY 2020/2021 Activity
2020-2021 Microenterprise Assistance Program – repurposing $147,000 from existing $199,490 budget (the program has closed; the proposed funds are unspent dollars after program closeout) 2020-2021 Street Improvement Project – repurposing $100,000 from existing $640,000 budget (the project is close to completion; the proposed funds are anticipated to be unspent after project completion)
2020-2021 Emergency Housing and Utility Assistance Program – repurposing $220,000 from existing $345,000 budget (the program has closed; the proposed funds are unspent dollars after program closeout)
Sources
The City will program the following resources in this substantial amendment to the FY 202 2 Annual Action Plan as unprogrammed prior year resources and corresponding FY 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan (which may be found at https://www.cityofhesperia.us/98/Community- Development-Block-Grant-Progra) to increase the bu dget for the Peach Avenue Drainage Improvement Project:

Pre-FY 2022 Formula CDBG: $467,000
