CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.
91.520(a)
The 2025-2026 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 first program year of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan period, covering July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.
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 provides for a wide range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income City residents.
For the 2025-2026 Program Year (PY), the City received $946,179 in CDBG funds. The 2025-2026 Street Improvement Project received $822,179 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 Fair Housing Foundation (April-June 2026) who assisted 6 unduplicated City residents; Complete the 2023-2024 Oakwood Street Improvement Project, assisting approximately 1,500 City residents;
Complete the 2024-2025 Live Oak Street Improvement Project, assisting approximately 7,440 City residents;
Commence design and engineering on the 25-26 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 6,382 City residents.
Table 1 provides a summary of the five-year and one-year accomplishments for the period ending June 30, 2026, arranged by each of the Strategic Plan Goals included in the 2025-2029 Strategic Plan of the Consolidated Plan.

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.
During the program year, the City and its housing and community development partners made progress on several 2025-2026 activities as well as some multi-year activities that continued during the program year. All CDBG funded activities addressed specific high-priority objectives identified in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.
Through City leveraged dollars under the Community Assistance Program (CAP), the City was able to fund a total of 10 public service agencies who provided services including but not limited to food banks, senior/disabled adult services, shelter and shelter services and veteran services.
Together these agencies were able to assist a total of 6,382 City residents. The City’s fair housing and landlord tenant mediation service provider, Fair Housing Foundation (FHF) was able to provide services to a total of 6 unduplicated City residents from April through June 2026. In addition, the City completed construction of the 2023-2024 Oakwood Street Improvement Project, assisting approximately 1,500 persons and the 2024-2025 Live Oak Street Improvement Project, assisting approximately 7,440 persons. Design and engineering commenced on the 2025- 2026 Street Improvement Projects. Construction for the 2025-2026 Street Improvement Project will commence in September 2026 with completion projected for December 2026. Construction for the 2026-2027 Street Improvement Project will commence in the fourth quarter of the 2026- 2027 PY with completion projected for second quarter of the 2027-2028 PY.

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 FHF Fair Housing services, as FHF also assists Hesperia residents with Landlord Tenant Counseling Services. Other examples of funds that could be utilized for the City of Hesperia residents include the following:

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 Program to award public service agencies in the administration of programs including 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 2025-2026 allocation. The amount of matching funds is therefore not applicable for the 2025-2026 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 2025-2026 program year.
At the point of adoption of the 2025-2026 Action Plan, the City anticipated working on three (3) activities. Throughout the program year, the City was successful in meeting its goals. The City completed construction of the 2023-2024 Oakwood Street Improvement Project, assisting approximately 1,500 persons and the 2024-2025 Live Oak Street Improvement Project, assisting 2025-2026 Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report

7,440 persons. Design and engineering commenced on the 2025-2026 Street Improvement Projects. Construction for the 2025-2026 Street Improvement Project will commence in September 2026 with completion projected for December 2026. Construction for the 2026-2027 Street Improvement Project will commence in the fourth quarter of the 2026-2027 PY with completion projected for second quarter of the 2027-2028 PY.
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 2025- 2029 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 renting 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 with 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 Emergency 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.
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 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.
For transitional housing, the CoC 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.
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.

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. In the past CAP funds have supported homelessness prevention and food assistance programs. It is anticipated that CAP funds will continue to provide funding for similar homeless services.
Additional efforts include support 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.
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 County in collaboration with the CoC maintains Discharge Coordination Policies for the systems of care it administers, such as discharge from the Corrections, Foster Care, and the Mental Health systems. The City supports the CoC’s advocacy for development of consistent policy implementation by hospital administrators for best practices such as recuperative care, and co-location of health services near affordable housing developments.
In the past CAP funds have supported homelessness prevention and food assistance programs. It is anticipated that CAP funds will continue to provide funding for similar rental assistance, and case management services to households experiencing homelessness, including those living in emergency shelters.

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 on 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).
There is no public housing located within the City of Hesperia.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
Public housing needs are addressed by the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB).
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs

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 draft Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing completed in 2025, proposed the following strategies to address fair housing issues and contributing factors. - Increase Affordable Housing Development – Support the construction of affordable housing in high-opportunity areas and streamline approval processes. - Enhance Housing Accessibility – Implement a formal reasonable accommodation process and encourage the development of accessible housing units.
- Expand Public Transportation – Improve transit routes and services, particularly for lower- income neighborhoods.
- Strengthen Fair Housing Protections – Partner with fair housing organizations to educate tenants and landlords about fair housing rights and responsibilities. - Promote Economic Mobility – Support job training programs and housing development near employment centers to improve access to economic opportunities.
Discussion
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the City’s Strategic Plan as identified in their 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan calls for a portion of CDBG funds to be used for Fair Housing Services to ensure fair housing choices. The City will continue to leverage its funds to attract private and other available public resources. The City’s updated 2021-2029 Housing Element notes the following to help ameliorate negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing:
The City has outlined certain concessions for development standards in its Landscape Ordinance. Affordable 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 2025-2026 Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
City of Hesperia Page 16 September 15, 2026
OMB Control No: 2506-0117
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 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 Accessory 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 very low, low-, or moderate-income households in its housing element. 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 and or conveyance of ADUs, potentially making it easier for homeowners to finance ADU construction 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 needs of underserved households with low- and moderate- incomes are reduced funding from federal, state, and other local sources, and the high cost of housing. To address these obstacles, at least in part, the City continued to work to leverage public and private resources through grant and partnership opportunities.
The City continued to promote fair housing practices for sale and rental housing and to facilitate community awareness of fair housing. The City of Hesperia continued to use CDBG funds to 2025-2026 Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
City of Hesperia Page 17 September 15, 2026
OMB Control No: 2506-0117
contract with Fair Housing Foundation 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 continued 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.
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 2025-2026 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.
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 provided 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 community social service agencies to meet and address the various needs of the community. This program year, City staff will continue to collaborate internally, as well as with local non-profit advocacy groups and other County, State and Federal organizations.

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements.
During the 2025-2026 program year, the City has limited the number of activities it has funded to mostly City run activities and fair housing services to streamline the City’s CDBG program and ensure that CDBG funds are used efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulations. The City’s Economic Development Division of the Development Services Department provides technical assistance to its fair housing service provider as well as other City departments at the beginning of the program year and monitors all activities throughout the program year to ensure benchmarks are met for continued compliance.
Technical Assistance
To enhance compliance with federal program regulations, the City’s application paperwork provides detailed information regarding the City’s five-year Consolidated Plan goals, program requirements and available resources for award. 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 Audit 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. Staff and consultants perform periodic desk monitoring including ongoing review of required performance reports and documentation to substantiate CDBG expenditures. The reviews also include both a fiscal and programmatic review of the subrecipient’s activity(ies). The reviews determine if the activity(ies) comply with the program regulations and City contract and/or MOU. Areas of review included overall administration, financial systems, appropriateness of program expenditures, program delivery, client eligibility determination and documentation, reporting systems, and achievement toward achieving contractual goals.

CR-45 - CDBG 91.520(c)
Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction’s program objectives and indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its experiences.
CDBG funds are making a significant impact on strategies to address the high-priority needs identified in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan – Strategic Plan. As shown in Figure 1 in section CR-05 of this document, CDBG funds contributed to three (3) Strategic Plan goals reported in Table 1 of this document.
Public Facility and Infrastructure Improvements
To improve City public facilities and infrastructure to benefit low- and moderate-income people or those presumed under HUD regulations to be low- and moderate-income such as elderly people and disabled adults as well as residents of low- and moderate-income housing, the City completed construction of the 2023-2024 Oakwood Street Improvement Project, assisting approximately 1,500 persons and the 2024-2025 Live Oak Street Improvement Project, assisting approximately 7,440 persons. Design and engineering commenced on the 2025-2026 Street Improvement Projects. Construction for the 2025-2026 Street Improvement Project will commence in September 2026 with completion projected for December 2026. Construction for the 2026-2027 Street Improvement Project will commence in the fourth quarter of the 2026- 2027 PY with completion projected for second quarter of the 2027-2028 PY.
Fair Housing Services
For the implementation of the City’s Fair Housing Services, the City funded FHF in the amount of $10,000 for the months of April - June. The funds were used for the provision of fair housing outreach, education, and enforcement activities, including landlord-tenant matters. During the program year, FHF was able to provide fair housing services to 6 unduplicated residents. The City leverages its CDBG allocation to FHF Fair Housing services, as FHF also assists Hesperia residents with Landlord Tenant Counseling. The City contracted with Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board at the beginning of the 25-26 PY. At the end of the second quarter of the PY IFHMB canceled their contract with the City. The City contracted with FHF in April 2026 for the remainder of the PY.
Public Services for Low-income Residents/Senior Services/Homeless Prevention and Special Needs Services (not a Strategic Plan Goal, but efforts supported by City leverage dollars)
To support the City’s initiative for Public Services for Low-income residents, leveraged City funds were awarded to 10 agencies that provided different public services for the residents of the City.
Such services ranged from shelter services, food banks, senior/veteran services, youth/foster services, disability services, legal aid services, and other various public services. In total, the agencies provided public service assistance to 6,382 primarily low- and moderate-income residents.
