91.520(a)
The 2024-2025 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the City of Hesperia’s (City) report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) describing the use of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds during the fifth program year of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan period, covering July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.
The City receives CDBG funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn implements projects and awards grants and loans to nonprofit, for-profit or public organizations for projects in furtherance of the adopted Consolidated Plan. The CDBG program generally provide s for a wide range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income City residents.
For the 2024-2025 Program Year (PY), the City received $972,781 in CDBG funds. The 2024-2025 Street Improvement Project received $810,781 in CDBG funding.
The investment of CDBG funds created opportunities for progress in the community. Together with other federal, state, and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City and its partners to:
• Fund fair housing and landlord tenant mediation services provided by the Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB) who were able to assist 290 unduplicated City residents (62 Fair Housing and 228 Landlord Tenant Mediation); • Complete the 2021-2022 Street Improvement Project, assisting approximately 8,000 City residents;
• Commence design and engineering on Oakwood Street as part of the 23 -24 Street Improvement Project;
• Commence design and engineering of the 24-25 Street Improvement Project; and • Fund 10 public service agencies (food banks, senior/disabled adult services, shelter and shelter services, veteran services, etc.) through the City’s Community Assistance Program (CAP), assisting 6,552 City residents.
Table 1 provides a summary of the five-year and one-year accomplishments for the period ending June 30, 2025, arranged by each of the Strategic Plan Goals included in the 2020 -2024 Strategic Plan of the Consolidated Plan.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources ( federal, state, local, and private funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.
To address housing and community development needs in the City , the City leveraged its CDBG entitlement grant with a variety of funding resources to maximize the effectiveness of available funds such as appropriate state, local and private resources . The City and its subrecipients were able to leverage approximately $50,000 of additional funds to address identified needs in the plan. The City leverages it’s CDBG allocation to IFHMB Fair Housing services, as IFHMB also assists Hesperia residents with Landlor d Tenant Mediation. Other examples of funds that could be utilized for the City of Hesperia residents include the following:
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
• Project Based Housing Choice Vouchers
State Resources

• Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (Successor Housing Agency) • Community Assistance Program (General Fund)
Private Resources
• Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program
• Community Reinvestment Act Programs

• Private Contributions
Matching Requirements
The CDBG regulations do not require a match contribution; however, the City encourages its awarded departments and agencies to leverage the CDBG funding to further aid the assistance provided to its residents. As an example, the City leverages general fund dollars through its Community Assistance P rogram to award public service agencies in the administration of programs includ ing but not limited to shelter services, food banks, senior /veteran services, youth/foster services, disability services, and legal aid services. The City has not received HOME or ESG funds as part of its 2024-2025 allocation. The amount of matching funds is therefore not applicable for the 2024-2025 program year.
Publicly Owned Land or Property
The City owns and maintains rights-of-way which may be used or improved to address the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. City staff keeps inventory of vacant and non- vacant sites as part of the Housing Element. Furthermore, City staff maintain relationships with developers which informs their knowledge of existing conditions. 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.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.
Responses to the Community Needs Survey indicated the greatest area of need in Hesperia is infrastructure improvements, specifically streets and sidewalks. Due to limited funding, during the 2025-2026 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.
The City continued efforts to streamline the CDBG program during the 2024-2025 program year.
At the point of adoption of the 2024-2025 Action Plan, the City anticipated working on three (3) activities. Throughout the program year, t he City was successful in meeting its goals. The City completed construction of the 2021-2022 Street Improvement Project, assisting approximately 8,000 persons . Design and engineering commenced for the 2023 -2024 and 2024- 2025 Street Improvement Projects. Construction for the 2023 -2024 Street Improvement Project will 2024-2025 Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report

commence in the second quarter of the 2025-2026 PY with completion projected also for the end of the second quarter. Construction for the 2024 -2025 Street Improvement Project will commence in the third quarter of the 2025 -2026 PY with completion projected for the fourth quarter. In addition, the City is preparing to issue a task order for the design and engineering of the 2025-2026 Street Improvement Project.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
Due to the City’s need to improve infrastructure, the City anticipates continuing to invest CDBG funds to address improving infrastructure through its Annual Street Improvement Project .
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 and continues to monitor those projects.
Include the number of extremely low -income, low -income, and moderate -income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity.

Although affordable housing needs are a high priority throughout California, during the 2020 - 2024 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan, the City did not identify affordable housing needs as a high priority. However, the City will take into consideration the needs for housing preservation and economic development in its community in future CDBG program years.
The City works closely with the Housing Authority County of San Bernardino (HACSB) who provides rental assistance to low -income families either by housing families in the units HACSB owns and manages or by providing subsidized housing assistance to a landlord for r enting their housing unit to eligible families. The services provided by the HACSB benefit all of San Bernardino County, including the residents of the City of Hesperia. In addition, the City works collectively with HACSB by providing residents wi th educational pamphlets on the County’s affordable housing programs.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
Although the City of Hesperia does not receive a direct E mergency Solutions Grant (ESG) entitlement, the City uses its general fund to support local service providers that provide services for homeless persons. The City also supports the efforts of San Bernardino County Continuum of Care and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout San Bernardino County and provide resources to fund emergency shelter, housing navigation, outreach, case management, rapid re -housing, and short-term to medium -term rental assistance for organizations that serve the unsheltered community, including the residents of Hesperia. The City has previously funded the efforts of private organizations through the City’s Community Assistance Program (CAP) to assist individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness, assess their individual needs, and connect them with appropriate resources. The City will consider continuing to fund these types of services in the future.
The following grants and programs are examples of how the HACSB and the CoC continue to provide services to the homeless and special needs persons for the residents of the City of Hesperia and county-wide.
The HACSB’s No Child Left Unsheltered (NCLU) program aims to end homelessness of unsheltered families with children in San Bernardino County . NCLU will provide housing assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher program or Affordable Housing program coupled with supportive services. HACSB has partnered with a variety of local community service providers, including the school system, to identi fy families, particularly those with school- age children, who are unsheltered. ( HACSB Moving to Work 2025 Annual Plan: https://hacsb.com/wp- content/uploads/2025/06/2025-MTW-Plan-Amendment-1-FINAL-Approved-by-HUD-
6.4.25.pdf).
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 capa city 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 regional 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, with flexible funding to continue efforts to end and prevent homelessness in their communities. In 2024-2025 Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
City of Hesperia Page 13 September 16, 2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117
2023, the State of California made an additional $1 billion available to implement Round 4 of the program. The City of San Bernardino and San Bernardino County CoC received $4 ,430,501 in HHAP funding in Round 4. The Round 5 HHAP funding cycle began in September 2023. The NOFA offered $760 million in grant funding for homeles s housing, assistance and prevention. The City of San Bernardino and County CoC and the County of San Bernardino received a joint award in the amount of $11,819,893 ($6,032,369.26 for the City and CoC and $5,787,523 for the County). (August 4, 2025, https://www.hcd.ca.gov/sites/default/files/docs/grants-and- funding/calich/hhap-r5-awardee-list.pdf)
The County Sheriff’s Department has a specific unit to engage the homeless through the Homeless Outreach Proactive Enforcement (H.O.P.E.) program. The mission of the H.O.P.E program takes a pro -active approach intended to ultimately reduce calls for service and other resources currently required to address the homeless population. The program also aims to balance proactive outreach with enforcement of the law, while connecting members of the homeless population with resources that may help them transition from homelessness. The primary goal is to reduce the rate of recidivism and reduce the current costs associated with homeless related crime (August 4, 2025, https://wp.sbcounty.gov/sheriff/programs/h-o-p-e/).
To identify and assess people experiencing homelessness, the CoC has created regional homeless access centers that offer fully coordinated systems of outreach and facilitate universal assessment, intake, referral, and transportation to resources more rapidly. This strategy helps to minimize duplication of efforts and better connect the most vulnerable individuals and families, chronically homeless, and people at risk of becoming homeless to appropriate resources. The CoC conducts informational outreach presentations concerning homelessness in the County.
The County of San Bernardino Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a coordinated system of computers that enable service, shelter and housing providers in different locations across the County to collect and share information about the homeless individuals and families seeking services. This system of computers allows users to collect and store information that can be used to improve service delivery for their consumers as well as generate required reports for different funding sources, including the Annual Performance Report (APR) for HU D (08/04/2025 https://sbchp.sbcounty.gov/hmis/).
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The ultimate solution to ending homelessness is transitional to permanent housing closely aligned with supportive services that ensure housing stability can be maintained. However, because the demand for affordable housing far outpaces the region’s supply, the CoC continues to rely on its emergency and transitional housing system to address the immediate needs of the County’s homeless population, including the residents of Hesperia.
The 2023 PIT Count recorded 1,219 sheltered individuals experiencing homelessness. Of the sheltered and homeless population 63 percent were residing in emergency shelter, and 37 2024-2025 Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
City of Hesperia Page 14 September 16, 2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117
percent in transitional housing. Out of the 4,255 individuals experiencing homelessness, 72 percent were unsheltered. The 2024 Housing Inventory Count reported 400 emergency shelter beds and 258 transitional housing beds for household with adults and children , and 517 emergency shelter beds and 156 transitional housing beds for households with only adults. As stated above, although the City of Hesperia does not receive ESG funds, the City uses its general fund to support local service providers that provide services for homeless persons through the CAP program, including multiple food banks and transitional housing services . The City also supports the efforts of San Bernardino CoC and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout San Bernardino County. The City will consider supporting emergency shelter and transitional housing operations with CAP funds in the future.
The Wellness Center Campus (Campus) located in Victorville is the first of its kind in San Bernardino County. The project was award ed and commenced construction in the 2021 -2022 program year and opened in December 2023. The Campus is anticipated to play a critical role in helping homeless individuals stabilize and rebuild their lives. The Campus provides 170 beds and serves as a low -barrier emergency shelter, recuperative care facility, medical clinic, interim housing. The Campus also provides wrap around supportive services such as case management, care coordination, job training/placement and housing navigation.
In 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law , including $1.1 billion for a new affordable housing program called the Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program. The program supports households experiencing homelessness; at risk of homelessness; fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking; or recently homeless. The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) received an allocation of 455 EHV vouchers. HACSB partnered with the CoC and local victim service providers, to start the EHV program in San Bernardino County in 2021. As of April 29, 2024, 447 families have been served (HACSB FY 2025 MTW Annual Plan Submission to HUD 7/11/24). Because Hesperia residents reside within the County of San Bernardino, they are also eligible to receive the EHV vouchers.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after 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); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs The City of Hesperia does not receive ESG funds. It will consider directing CAP funds to support case management, and rental assistance to households experiencing and at risk of experiencing homelessness.
The 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 2024-2025 Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report

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 Service , Direct provision of prescription and medical; 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, and recuperative care for homeless individuals who become ill or injured.
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 peri od of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In support of CoC efforts, the City will consider the use of general funds to support activities implemented by local nonprofit organizations that provide services to help previously homeless households, including families, veterans, victims of domestic violence , and emancipated foster youth, remain stably housed. Local organizations provide services such as food assistance to defray basic living expenses and enabling a household to stretch its income further and potentially direct a greater percentage of income to rent. Additional efforts are underway at the regional level to shorten the period that individuals and families experience 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 evaluat ing strategies to lower program threshold requirements and improve outcomes , including shorter shelter stays and more rapid transitions to permanent housing.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City of Hesperia Housing Authority (HHA) was formed o n April 5, 2011, under the 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. 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).
HACSB continues to maintain and expand the supply of affordable housing units in the City and throughout the County through its partnerships with the State of California and San Bernardino County Department of Community Development and Housing. As the largest provider of affordable housing in San Bernardino County, HACSB assists approximately 25,000 people, most of whom are seniors, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and children. More than 10, 500 families are served through housing assistance payments made to landlords on behalf of the families. Other families reside in units owned and managed by HACSB. These programs provide a critical safety net for families in the County.
Adjacent to the City and accessible for Hesperia residents, the fully leased 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 were converted into a 31-unit single or double occupancy apartment complex for the chronically homeless. Both developments utilized the Housing First approach to help residents become self-sufficient, (HACSB 2018 & 2019 Annual Report ). Combined, these developments provided 69 units of housing for homeless individuals, (HACSB 2020 Annual Report).

Actions taken 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 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. Through the HAP, families are provided mortgage assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher Program for up to 15 years for working families and up to 30 years for disabled families (HACSB 2020 Annual Report) . A total of 2 83 families have become homeowners through HAP since the program began in 2000 (Ms. Beydler, Director of Policy and Communications, August 25, 2025).
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 (FSS) Program, 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 accoun t funds towards homeownership (HACSB 2018 Annual Report).
In addition, the City provide s fair housing resources on services for foreclosure prevention and counseling.
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
Not applicable. HACSB is considered a high performing PHA.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) The City of Hesperia recognizes that certain public policies, including land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and regulations affecting the return on residential investment, can unintentionally constrain the production, preservation, and availability of affordable housing. The City’s approach to reducing these barriers comes from the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element, 2025 General Plan Update and standards within our Hesperia Municipal Code.
The City of Hesperia has undertaken a comprehensive update of its General Plan, including the Land Use, Circulation, and Health and Safety Elements, with extensive community engagement through public workshops and hearings. Following the certification of an Addendum to the 2010 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR), ensuring alignment with state requirements and local community needs. As part of the Housing Element, the Land Use Element was updated to include several zoning changes that allow residential development at higher densities to help meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) requirements. As part of the update, the Multi-Family Residential (R3) zone increased from 8-15 units per acre to 15-30 units per acre. The Regional Commercial (RC) zone, limited to areas east of the I-15 Freeway and south of El Centro with a Conditional Use Permit, now allows 100% residential development up to 30 units per acre.
Similarly, the General Commercial (C2) zone permits 100% residential development up to 30 units per acre.
The updated zoning provisions provide developers with the opportunity to construct higher density residential projects in areas where such development was previously prohibited or limited to lower densities. Land use zones with higher density reduce per unit cost of development, making projects more financially feasible and attractive for affordable housing funding programs. Overall, these changes promote residential development which encourages the construction of affordable homes to meet the needs of Hesperia’s growing population.
On July 15, 2025, as part of the General Plan and Municipal Code update, the Land Use Element was amended to allow group homes within the General Commercial (C2) and the Regional Commercial (RC) zones, which will accommodate housing for persons with disabilities, mental health conditions or other special needs. This General Plan update helped to address reasonable accommodation to land use and zoning decisions and procedures regulating the siting, funding, development, and use of housing for people with disabilities.
The City is in the process of adopting objective design standards that will be used as the standard framework to review multi- family and mixed -use developments. These standards align with California housing laws, including the Housing Accountability Act and SB 330, which require cities 2024-2025 Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
City of Hesperia Page 19 September 16, 2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117
to process qualifying housing projects promptly when they meet all objective design standards.
Under these laws, cities cannot deny or reduce the density of compliant projects unless there is a clear, unmitigable health or safety concern. By combining enfo rceable timelines with measurable, objective rules, these standards help affordable housing proposals move forward without political delays, ensuring faster development and more consistent outcomes across different neighborhoods.
A Density Bonus Program was established by the City of Hesperia, as codified in Title 16, Article VII of the Hesperia Municipal Code, to mitigate development constraints and incentivize the creation of housing for lower and moderate -income households. This program permits developers to exceed normal density limits and benefit from additional incentives selected by the developer for site plans, subdivisions, planned developments, or other land use applications where affordable units ar e included. These measu res not only reduce land use and zoning barriers but also lower construction costs and increase project feasibility, thereby improving affordability outcomes.
Building codes, while essential for protecting public health and safety, can inadvertently increase development costs and create barriers to affordable housing production. The City of Hesperia promptly adopts updates to the California Building Standards Code, enabling the use of modern, cost-effective construction techniques and materials.
Development fees and charges, including impact fees, school fees, and utility connection costs, also influence housing affordability. The city is implementing Housing Element Program 4.2 to review the fee schedule and identify opportunities for reductions or deferrals for affordable housing projects. Additionally, Hesperia seeks to leverage county and state infrastructure financing programs to offset the cost of utility extensions serving affordable developments.
Hesperia is committed to reducing governmental barriers and creating an environment conducive to affordable housing development and preservation while complying with State Housing Element Law and HUD Consolidated Plan requirements.
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) developed a list of existing state grants and financial incentives for operating, administrative, and other expenses in connection with the planning, construction, and operation of ADUs with affordable rent.
The City amended its ADU Ordinance, which was adopted by the City Council on November 19, 2024, to allow the sale and conveyance of ADUs for Community Land Trusts (CLTs), thereby enabling CLTs to build and manage ADUs that remain permanently affordable, as they can be sold separately to qualified buyers. The ADU Ordinance was also amended to allow the separate sale 2024-2025 Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
City of Hesperia Page 20 September 16, 2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117
and or conveyance of ADUs, potentially making it easier for homeowners to finance ADU construction or for very-low or low-income individuals to purchase them.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) 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 and the high cost of housing .
To address these obstacles, the City invested CDBG funds through the 2024-2025 Action Plan and leveraged funds in projects that provide public and neighborhood services to low- and moderate- income people, those with special needs, and pro grams that prevent homelessness. To address underserved needs, the City allocat ed 100 percent of its non -administrative CDBG funds for program year 2 024-2025 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate -income people.
The City continued to promote fair housing practices for sale and rental housing and facilitated community awareness of fair housing. The City continued to use CDBG funds to contract with Inland Fair Housing and Mediation for this program year to provide fair housing and tenant/landlord services to residents.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Code enforcement and building inspectors will continue to identify lead -based paint hazards as part of their ongoing activities, if the scope of the complaint allows them into the unit, or if it is a part of an ongoing investigation. The Building Division will continue to be alert to units that may contain lead-based paint. They will inform tenants and landlords as part of their inspections.
To reduce lead-based paint hazards, the City takes the following actions:
• Disseminates brochures about lead hazards through organizations such as Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB).
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals established during the 20 24-2025 program year helped to reduce the number of poverty-level families by:
• Supporting activities that preserve and improve public facilities and infrastructure to benefit low-and moderate-income residents; and
• Supporting activities that fulfill the HUD regulatory mandate to affirmatively further fair housing choice through the provision of fair housing education, counseling, anti - discrimination, and landlord-tenant mediation.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117
In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start help provide a pathway out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally, in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKs, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi -Cal. Together, these programs prov ided individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition, and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence, and mental illness.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City of Hesperia works with a wide range of public and local social service agencies to meet and address the various needs of the community. During the program year C ity staff continued to collaborate internally, as well as with local non -profit agencies and other County, State and Federal organizations. Specifically, the City participates in various regional efforts that involve the collaboration of local jurisdictions, private organizations, and other public and quasi -public agencies to address homelessness, fair housing, and affordable housing issues. City departments anchor the administration of HUD grant programs and the CDBG activities that are implemented in the City. These are supported and enhanced through the City’s collaboration with nonprofit agencies receiving Community Assistance Program funds (leveraged City funds) by ensuring that the needs of low - and moderate-income residents are met. The institutional delivery system is successfully being implemented as envisioned within the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and Strategic Plan.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
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. The City administers its Community Assistance Program that utilizes City leveraged dollars to fund nonprofits through less administratively restrictive funds to ensure its residents are provided the services they need.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdiction’s analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) The 2020 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) adopted by the City Council on April 21, 2020, included two (2) impediments that remained unresolved from the 2015-2019 AI and one (1) impediment to fair housing choice.

Impediment 1, Fair Housing Complaints and Services: The City’s Economic Development Division worked directly with its fair housing service provider, Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB), during the 202 4-2025 program year who continued to assist the community with fair housing programs and services and utilized social media platforms to promote those programs and services. IFHMB also uses Mailchimp and Facebook to maximize awareness of the program.
The City advertised and promoted events providing fair housing services on the City’s Webpage, as well as making Fair Housing materials readily accessible at City Hall.
Impediment 2, Reasonable Accommodation Procedure: The City has updated its Housing Element (2021-2029); however, the document reported that the City currently had no established process in place and reasonable accommodations were granted on a case-by-case basis.
The City updated the General Plan and Municipal Code to help address reasonable accommodation to land use and zoning decisions and procedures regulating the siting, funding, development, and use of housing for people with disabilities. The adoption date for the new process was July 15, 2025.
Impediment 3, United States of America v. City of Hesperia, County of San Bernardino, and San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department: The Analysis of Impediments recommended the City “track the status and disposition of Case No. 5:19-cv-02298 and report the status and disposition of this litigation, as applicable, in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report.” On December 22, 2022, the parties entered into a Consent Order that resulted in the resolution of this lawsuit.

Subrecipient Agreements and Memorandums of Understandings (MOUs) are sent to all parties for review to ensure overall activity compliance and to ensure that they have time to review the City’s compliance procedures and requirements.
Staff is available to provide technical assistance throughout the program year.
Activity Monitoring
All activities are monitored, beginning with a detailed review upon receipt of an application to determine eligibility, conformance with a National Objective and conformance with a Strategic Plan goal. This review also examines the proposed use of funds, eligibility of the service area, eligibility of the intended beneficiaries and likelihood of compliance with other federal requirements such as the National Environmental Policy Act, the System for Award Management (SAM) debarment list, Davis- Bacon and Related Acts (prevailing wage), Minority and Women Business Enterprise, Section 3 and federal acquisition and relocation regulations, as applicable.
Eligible Subrecipients submit their most recent Financial Statement/Single A udit and other documentation to establish their administrative and financial capacity, and any findings noted in the audit are reviewed. In such instances where Audit findings arise, the agency is required to provide the City documentation resolving the finding. S taff and consultants perform periodic desk monitoring including ongoing review of required performance reports and documentation to substantiate CDBG expenditures. The rev iews also include both a fiscal and programmatic review of the subrecipient’s activit y(ies). The reviews determine if the activity(ies) comply with the program regulations and City contract and/or MOU . Areas of review i ncluded overall administration, financial systems, appropriateness of program expenditures, program delivery, client eligibility determination and documentation, reporting systems, and achievement toward achieving contractual goals.
