SUBJECT: Vacate Bishop Avenue
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council hold a public hearing to receive public comments pursuant to Section 8320, subdivision (a) of the California Streets and Highway s Code, and adopt Resolution 2024-02 to vacate Bishop Avenue as described in attachments Exhibit “A” and Exhibit “B.”
BACKGROUND
Bishop Avenue is a cul -de-sac that was dedicated on APN 3064 -581-01. Bishop Avenue is located north of Poplar Street and east of Highway 395. Bishop Avenue was dedicated to the City of Hesperia as a temporary access for Tentative Parcel Map 14480. Tentative Parcel Map 14480 was proposed to create 16 varied sized lots on 36.30 gross acres for commercial /industrial development and was approved by the Planning Commission on March 25,1993. The dedication of Bishop Avenue was recorded, by a separate document, on February 25,1994. A Final Parcel Map for Tentative Parcel Map 14480 was never approved and therefo re the map was never recorded, and development did not occur.
Covington Development, LLC, t he current property owner of APN 3064 -581-01, intends to develop this parcel which is located on the northeast corner of Poplar Street and Highway 395 .
Covington Development, LLC has been approved under Conditional Use Permit CUP21 -00005 and the Development Agreement DA22 -00002 for the development of a 742,000 square foot warehouse distribution building. Covington Development , LLC has formally submitted their application to request the vacation of Bishop Avenue to conform with the approved site plan submitted under their conditional use permit.
City staff does not anticipate that this portion of 3064 -581-01, along Poplar Stre et, will ever be needed for public access. Therefore, staff has concluded that there is no reason to retain right of way on this parcel.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Public right-of way should be vacated upon finding that those areas are no longer required for public access. Staff has reviewed the application and determined that this dedication for highway and road purposes is not needed.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 2, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Rachel Molina, City Manager
BY: Nathan R. Freeman, Director of Development Services Victor Knight, Economic Development Manager
SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2024-2025 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. 2024-04 approving the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan (AAP); (2) Authorize staff to modify the AAP based upon the City Council’s direction; (3) Provide City staff with a methodology to distribute funds should the City’s 202 4-2025 annual allocation increase or decrease; and (4) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute and transmit all necessary documents, including the adopted Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG) 2024-2025 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 submit a Consolidated Plan every fiv e years to establish a unified, strategic vision for economic development, housing, and community development actions. The City’s current Consolidated Plan, which was reviewed and approved by the City Council on April 21, 2020, includes an analysis of community needs and coordinate s appropriate responses to those needs and priorities.
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 2024-2025 program year.
In preparation of the AAP, applications for Administration and Non -Administration/Non-Public Service (Capital) activities were provided to the Economic Development division of the Development Services Department. Secondly, an application was sent to Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB) to comply with the CDBG requirements of funding activities that address fair housing. Lastly, hard copies of the applications were made available at City Hall and on the City’s website . Applications were due on February 12, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. and no late applications were accepted.
Staff Report to the Mayor and Council Members
CDBG 2024-2025 AAP
April 2, 2024
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
AAP
Based on the information received from the applications, and in consideration of the City’s five- year goals, the proposed 2024-2025 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 . In accordance with CDBG Program National Objectives, the goal of the AAP is to serve the City’s low- and moderate-income residents, eliminate blight, and meet other urgent community needs.
Moreover, the recommendations are consistent with the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and any amendments to the plan . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City Council retains complete discretion to modify the CDBG funding recommendations as presented and may propose alternative funding allocations.
As of the date of this notice, the City’s 202 4-2025 CDBG annual allocatio n is $899,363. HUD regulations allow a maximum of 20% ($179,872) of grant funds for eligible Administration/Planning activities (including fair housing initiatives). However, City staff have elected to only allocate $162,000 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 $737,363 will be allocated pursuant to the 2024-2025 AAP.
Due to the possibility of changes in the City’s 2024-2025 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 if the allocation is increased or decreased 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 $899,363:
o Balance of additional funds will be allocated to the 2024-2025 Street Improvement Project.
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024- 2025 AAP.
Should the CDBG allocation be lower than $899,363:
o Balance of reduced funds will be deducted from the 202 4-2025 Street Improvement Project.
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024- 2025 Action Plan.
Department Recommendations
Exhibit A contains Recommendation s for 2024-2025 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
Staff Report to the Mayor and Council Members
CDBG 2024-2025 AAP
April 2, 2024
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 Economic Development division to ensure overall compliance with the CDBG program. However, as previously noted, the 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 they be as recomm ended by staff or as preferred alternatives from City Council, for the 2024-2025 AAP at its April 2, 2024, City Council meeting. The 30-day public review period commenced on Friday, March 1, 2024, and concluded thereafter on Tuesday, April 2, 2024. 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 the Council’s direction prior to submittal to HUD.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City’s 202 4-2025 CDBG entitlement is $899,363. City Council’s approval of the recommended action adopts the 2024-2025 Action Plan allocating those resources to the programs and activities outlined therein which will be incorporated into the Economic Development division’s 2024-2025 CDBG budget as required to meet the mandates of the plan.
CDBG funds may only be utilized for certain eligible expenses and the 202 4-2025 Action Plan satisfies this requirement.
ALTERNATIVE(S)
Provide alternative direction to staff.

City of Hesperia - 1 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan is the fifth 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 (AAP) identifies available resources, annual goals, projects and activities for the period beginning July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025.
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 programs 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. Th ose 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 2024-2025 program year, the City anticipates receiving an annual allocation of $899,363 and will not be carrying over or repurposing any prior year funds. Therefore, the total CDBG annual budget will be $899,363.
Due to slight adjustments that can occur with CDBG allocations prior to HUD’s approval of the Action Plan , 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 if allocations are adjusted by HUD. It is recommended that City Council adopt the following language for adjusting activity budgets for the CDBG program:
City of Hesperia - 2 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
• Should the CDBG allocation be higher than $899,363:
o Balance of additional funds will be allocated to the 202 4-2025 Street Improvement Project.
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024-2025 AAP.
• Should the CDBG allocation be lower than $899,363:
o Balance of reduced funds will be deducted from the 202 4-2025 Street Improvement Project.
o Funding levels for all outstanding a ctivities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024-2025 AAP.
The CDBG program activities to be implemented from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, include:
2024-2025 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).
2024-2025 CDBG Capital Activities
• City – Street Improvement Project $737,363
2024-2025 CDBG Program Administration Activities
• City - Program Administration $140,000
• Inland Fair Housing & Mediation Board - Fair Housing Services $22,000 TOTAL ALLOCATION FY 2024-2025: $899,363
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.
City of Hesperia - 3 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

3. Evaluation of past performance
The investment of HUD resources during the 2020-2021 through 2023-2024 program years is 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, 2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023 program years (current year 2023-2024 CDBG accomplishments not available as of the preparation of this document):

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 an d consultation in the development of the Consolidated Plan. HUD strengthened the consultation process with requirements for consultation with the CoC, Public Housing Authorities (PHA), business leaders, civic leaders, and public or private agencies that ad dress 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 the 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
City of Hesperia - 6 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
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 disab ilities. Per the City’s approved Limited English 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 grou ps 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 4-2025 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 2024-2025 program year with these organizations and agencies. The City will work on strengthening relationships and alignment among these organizations.
City of Hesperia - 9 - 2024 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 w ith children, veterans, 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 f aith-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 families 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 populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth and persons at risk of homelessness. Following the delivery and response to this questionnaire, the City followed up wi th the CoC to clarify existing needs and objectives and understand opportunities for collaboration and coordination during the five-year planning process.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS 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, in cluding those for extremely low -income households and homeless households 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 direct ly 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.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting The City established and followed a process for the development of its five-year Consolidated Plan that included broad participation from the community. These ac tivities were coordinated and implemented by the Economic Development Department.
To assist in the identification of priority needs in the City, a survey was prepared and distributed to residents of the City to solicit resident input in the prioritization of needs related to community services, community facilities, infrastructure, neighborhood services, special needs services, businesses and jobs, and housing. The surveys were available online and also were made available at various public facilities.
Community meetings to discuss the economic, housing and community development needs in 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 2, 2024, before the City Council where the purpose of the hearing was to receive comments on the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan.
At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low- and moderate-income residents, members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved.
In the preparation of the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan, the City followed the process established for citizen participation set forth in the Citizen Participation Plan. To promote greater public

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied Depending on the financing structure of a given activity, it may be advantageous for the City to use CDBG funds to leverage appropriate state, local and private resources, including but not limited to those listed below.
Federal Resources
• Continuum of Care (CoC) Program
• HUD Veterans Affairs supportive Housing (HUD-VASH)
• Supportive Housing for the Elderly (Section 202)
• Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) • Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
• Youthbuild
• Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program
• Department of Transportation Grants
• Department of Energy Grants
• Federal Highway Administration
• Emergency Solutions Grant
• HOME Investment Partnerships
• CARES Act

• Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN) • CalHome Program
• Multifamily Housing Program (MHP)
• Housing Related Parks Grant
• CalHFA Single and Multi-Family Program
• Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding
• Prop 47 – Board of State & Community Corrections

City of Hesperia - 56 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
Local Resources
• San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP)
• Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) • Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA) Funding • San Bernardino County Continuum of Care Program
• Community Assistance Program (General Fund)
Private Resources
• Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP) • Community Reinvestment Act Programs
• United Way Funding
• Private Contributions
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 2024-2025 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 busi ness and provided for their dissolution. In the last five years, the elimination of the Redevelopment Agencies has resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This was the most significant public policy change impacting affordable housing and residential investment.
While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets are tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies (Successor Agencies) that may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce. As 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 2024 through June 2025, 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
City of Hesperia - 57 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
• Private market real estate investments
• 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, t he City expects to spend approximately $899,363 of CDBG funds during the 202 4-2025 program year on fair housing and public facility and infrastructure improvement activities that promote a suitable living environment. It is anticipated that approximately $737,363 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 4-2025 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 4-2025 to projects and activi ties 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 Areas while other projec ts 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 sources for infrastructure improvements or projects that address the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To address these obstacles, the City is investing $737,363 of CDBG funds in the 202 4-2025 Annual Action Plan for the Annual Street Improvement Project that will reconstruct deteriorated streets.

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 $67,698 (2022 Census.gov)). Based on available data and mapping in NA-15 of the Consolidated Plan, the CDBG Target Areas are primarily Hispanic.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically For the 2024-2025 program year, the City will invest $899,363 of CDBG funds that will benefit low- and moderate-income people throughout the City. Of this amount, at least $737,363, or 82 percent of all resources will be invested in projects that may exclusively benefit the CDBG Target Areas. Due to the nature of the projects and activities to be undertaken, investments in projects and activities such as public facilities and infrastructure improvements are limited to the CDBG Target Areas while other projects and activities benefit low - and moderate-income limited clientele and are available citywide.
Discussion
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non -administrative funds for program year 2024-2025 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people.
City of Hesperia - 65 - 2024 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 2011 -2015 ACS and CHAS data, there is a high need fo r 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 burdened 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 - 66 - 2024 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 2024-2025 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.
Although the City does not currently have active housing programs, the Hesperia Housing Authority (HHA) has provided funding for affordable housing projects in prior years to address the need for affordable housing and housing rehabilitation.

Due to the dissolution of the Hesperia Community Redevelopment Agency, 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; however, 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 create 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 hal f. Although home sizes have not yet been discussed, the focus will be for affordable residences as prices for the project’s first homes will range between $300,000 and $500,000, with a number of options for 55-plus seniors (The Sun2).
The HACSB manages a total of 10,461 rental assistance program units (privately owned with rent subsidies paid directly to owners by the Housing Authority), 1 unit of public housing (units owned and managed by the Housing Authority), 2,232 housing authority-owned units (units owned by the Housing Authority or acquired through developments), 1,343 Housing Partners I, Inc. (units that are part of the property portfolio of Housing Partners I, Inc., HACSB’s development affiliate non -profit, and 780 Limited Liability Company and Limited Partner Units (units owned by limited partnership or limited liability company of which HACSB is a member) through its offices in Barstow, Chino, Colton, Redlands, San Bernardino, Victorville and Upland (2022 HACSB Annual Report).
During the 2024-2025 program year, HACSB will continue providing housing and public services to existing residents of HUD Public Housing units and HACSB -owned affordable housing units. To enhance the quality of HUD Public Housing units, HACSB converted existing HUD Public Housing units under HACSB’s management and control to Section 8 units as part of HUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) 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 2 This article can be found at https://www.sbsun.com/2021/07/15/hesperias-15663-home-tapestry-project- finally-starts-construction/
City of Hesperia - 68 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
remaining to convert (HACSB 2019 Annual Report). During the 2022 calendar year the 98 units at the Los Olivos finalized its conversion out of Public Housing through RAD.
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.
In late 2021, the San Bernardino County and Related California executives celebrated the grand opening of the third phase of the Bloomington Affordable Housing Community located on 5 acres and containing 98 new affordable housing units. The development also includes a new 8,500-square foot public park and community center that provide s facilities and services for the public park located to the north of the development . The development is an integral piece to the overall countywide neighbo rhood revitalization spearheaded by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors (County Wire, December 2021 and IE Community News).
In the fall of 2017, HACSB celebrated the grand opening of the Olive Meadow Affordable Housing Community, consisting of 62 high -quality affordable homes representing the first phase of the Arrowhead Grove Housing Community Revitalization Project (formerly the Waterman Gardens Affordable Housing Community Project). Construction on Crestview Terrace, the second on site phase of the Arrowhead Grove mixed-income housing development, was completed in August 2021 with the project officially opening in January 2022. 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 newest construction provided 184 mixed -income family apartments comprised of 147 affordable one - to four -bedroom family unit s, 35 market -rate units and 2 units for property managers (FY 2023 Moving to Work Annual Plan, HACSB).
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).
City of Hesperia - 69 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
HACSB made formal commitments to assist AMCAL Multi-Housing Inc., with project-based vouchers to support the construction of Las Terrazas affordable family units in Colton (HACSB 2020 Annual Report). Las Terrazas Apartments is an affor dable multi -family apartment complex located in unincorporated San Bernardino. The family community of 112 units ranges in size from 525 to 1,020 net livable feet. The building mix consists of five residential buildings, one community building and one childcare building, all constructed on one six -acre site. The development was completed in 2022 (https://www.amcalhousing.com/amcal/las-terrazas-colton/).
Phase II of Valencia Grove in Redlands (104 rental units) is projected to be completed in the third quarter of 2024. Phase III of Valencia Grove will consist of 39 detached single -family homes for sale to buyers at or below 120% of the Area Median Income. Groundbreaking of this phase was projected for the end 2023 (FY 2024 Moving to Work Annual Plan, HACSB).
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The City of Hesperia and HACSB encourages residents to be actively involved in the community and in the management 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 opportunities 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 (HACSB 2020 Annual Report). A total of 263 families have become homeowners through HAP since the program began in 2000 (Ms. Beydler, Director of Policy and Public Relations, HACSB, 2023).
Through the investment of CDBG funds in fair housing, the City will provide a number of resources on services for foreclosure prevention and counseling.

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 partnerships with the State of California, San Bernardino County Department of Community Development and Housing, the City, and other cities throughout the county.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City will invest leveraged CDBG funds during the 202 4-2025 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 accomp lished 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 Surv ey, 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 pr ograms 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 to continue to build on regional collaboration developed through previous rounds of Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council (HCFC) funding and to develop a unified regi onal response to homelessness. In 2022, Round 3 HHAP funds were made available and the CoC received an estimated $2.9 million for distribution. The third round of funding provides local jurisdictions, including federally recognized tribal governments, wit h flexible funding to continue efforts to end and prevent homelessness in their communities. For the 2022 -2023 fiscal year, the State of California had made an additional $1 billion available to implement Round 4 of the program.
The State of California h as approved several other grant programs directed at addressing homelessness. The No -Place-Like-Home (NPLH) Program award ed $2 billion to counties for the development of permanent supportive housing for persons who are in need of mental health services
City of Hesperia - 72 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
and are experiencing homelessness, chronic homelessness, or at risk of chronic homelessness.
Through this program, Counties must commit to provide mental health services and help coordinate access to other community -based supportive services. Applications for Round 4 funding of the NPLH Program closed in mid -January of 2022. The State currently provides grants to counties through its Housing for a Healthy California (HHC) 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. The goal of the HHC program is to reduce the financial burden on local and state resources due to the overutilization of emergency departments, inpatient care, nursing home stays and use of corrections systems and law enforcement resources as the point of health care provision for people who are chronically homeless or homeless and a high-cost health user. Applicants who were previously awarded by the program for existing projects were funded in Spring of 2022. New applicants were anticipated to be awarded by the end of June 2022.
In July 2021, the California COVID-19 Rent Relief Program provided $5.2 billion to cover 100% of past-due rent going as far back as April 2020, as well as current utility bills. The program assisted both landlords and tenants. By covering 100% of the rent owed by the tenants, the program helped to prevent tenants from being evicted and potentially homeless. The San Bernardino County Rent Relief Partnership (SBCRRP) functioned similarly to the CA COVID -19 Rent Relief Program. The SBCRRP covered 12 months of past -due rent, as well as utilities, going as far back as March 13, 2020. The SBCRRP shared the same goal as the CA COVID -19 RRP by protecting tenants from eviction and potential homelessness. As of March 31, 2022, the Program was no longer accepting new applications, but continued to assist applicants whose applications were submitted before the deadline. Eviction protections in the state of California were extended for those whose applications were submitted before the deadline, protecting them through June 30, 2022.
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 provided a place outside a hospital to stay for those who are homeless as well as those recovering from and who were currently exposed to COVID-19.
The program collaborated with the State and County to secure h otel and motel rooms to be used for these purposes. This program provided sheltering options for the homeless, sought to protect human life, and minimized the capacity strain found within the health care system. The Program came to an end in September 2022.
City of Hesperia - 73 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
Through Project Roomkey; Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP); HHAP CV funds and Continuum of Care, the region has assisted with housing and sheltering 2,000 unduplicated individuals since March 2020, nearly 800 of whom were referred to p ermanent housing. Project Homekey services included the Pacific Village project, which provided long -term interim shelter to 33 individuals in 28 units while the All-Star Lodge project provided long-term shelter to 50 individuals in 38 units.
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 . By March 2023, the Wellness Center Campus had 46 modular shelter units, five modular restroom units, and 24 community building units delivered to the construction site and set on foundations.
Services for Residents with Special Needs
Analysis of available data an d consultation with organizations providing services for special needs populations revealed a high need for a range of additional services 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 provide 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 CoC 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
City of Hesperia - 74 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
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 has implemented a database using real time information from intake and assessment that is housed in the Homeless Management Information System (HIMS). Collectively these st rategies 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.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The ultimate solution to ending homelessness is transitional to permanent housing closely aligned with supportive services that ensure housing stability can be maintained. However, because the demand for affordable housing f ar outpaces the region’s supply, the CoC continues to rely on its emergency and transitional 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 tow ards 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, publ ic benefits assistance, pet care and housing navigation. Housing within the facility will offer 110 separate units with a minimum capacity of 170 beds. By March 2023, the Wellness Center Campus had 46 modular shelter units, five modular restroom units, and 24 community building units delivered to the construction site and set on foundations.
For transitional housing, the C oC recognizes a need to maintain a level of transitional 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 currently 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.
City of Hesperia - 75 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In support of CoC efforts, 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.
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 anticipated 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 alternatives for obtaining subsequent housing.
Homelessness often results from a complex set of circumstances that require people to choose between food, shelter and other basic needs. Examples of common circumstances that can cause homelessness include eviction, loss of income, insufficient income, disability, increase in the cost of housing, discharge from an institution, irreparable damage or deterioration to housing, and fleeing from family violence.
City of Hesperia - 76 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
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. • 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 develo p 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 Communit y 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 provi de a low barrier emergency shelter, 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 C ity 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 is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environment al protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.
Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the 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 remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and char ges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
In the development of the 2013-2021 Housing Element, the City evaluated significant public policies affecting affordable housing development such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges and growth limitations. Based on this evaluation, the City determined that it has taken all necessary steps to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may have be en a barrier to affordable housing. An update to the Housing Element (2021 -2029) further reports that the City has recently completed several affordable housing projects and is in the planning/approval stages for several additional affordable housing proj ects, 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 Ordin ance 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 - 78 - 2024 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 Housing 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 c ertain concessions for development standards in its Landscape Ordinance. Affordable housing 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 - 79 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
either paratransit service or unobstructed 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 into 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 Acc essory Dwelling Units (Junior ADUs). In June 2020, the development 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 ver y 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 expense s in connection with the planning, construction, and 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. o Update: The Development Code will be amended within one year following certification of the Housing Element (October 15, 2024) to address the requirements of AB 671. The City’s goal is to process and entitle 15 ADUs each calendar year. The City will also update the City website to provide prospective ADU builders with HCD’s list of grants and financial incentives, along with all relevant building and planning forms.
City of Hesperia - 80 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction
In the implementation of the 202 4-2025 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 under served 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 in vested $1,293,162 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. Additionally, the City invested $779,363 of CDBG funds in the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan for the reconstruction of deteriorated streets through the Annual Street Improvement Project. In the implementation of the 202 4-2025 Annual Action Plan, the City wil l continue to invest CDBG funds in infrastructure improvements by funding the Annual Street Improvement Project.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In the implementation of the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan, the City has decided to award a majority of its funds to the 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 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan period.
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 - 81 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals esta blished in the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan and th e 2024-2025 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 through 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 av ailable 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 - 82 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will continue consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low - and moderate - income residents in 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 4-2025 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.
