MILPITAS 73
Milpitas is highly specialized in computer and electronics design and manufacturing. Milpitas has a unique strength in attracting and retaining Research and Development (R&D) and advanced manufacturing. These firms are at the forefront of new technological innovations.

Manufacturing. This is Milpitas’ largest industry sector, accounting for 26 percent of all jobs.

By comparison, manufacturing jobs make up 15 percent of jobs in Santa Clara County.

Employment in the manufacturing sector was stable between 2009 and 2013, but increased by 8 percent between 2013 and 2018. Manufacturing jobs grew at a comparable rate of 10 percent in Santa Clara County during this same period. Businesses in the manufacturing sector tend to be nationally and globally connected, trading and exporting goods to outside communities. Most manufacturing jobs in Milpitas are in advanced and high-tech Manufacturing, with only a small share of “traditional” manufacturing (e.g. food, beverage, wood products).

Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (PSTS). This is the second largest industry by employment in Milpitas, with 19 percent of all jobs in the City. From 2009 to 2018, PSTS jobs in Milpitas grew at a healthy pace, but not as fast as Santa Clara County overall. Cisco is Milpitas’ largest employer and accounts for a large share of these PSTS jobs.

Accommodation and Food Services. This is the third largest sector in Milpitas, with 10 percent of all jobs. Jobs in this sector have increased since 2009, matching a nationalshift away from traditional retail toward dining and drinking. “Accommodation” jobs (hospitality and hotel) also increased in Milpitas, in conjunction with strong hotel performance (pre-pandemic).

Retail trade. Milpitas has many jobs in retail trade (9 percent), and a mix of regional-serving and localserving retail. For example, the Great Mall is a major regional retail destination drawing customers from a wide trade area, and auto dealerships also tend to draw from a regional trade area. Milpitas also has smaller, more local-serving retail centers as well.

Health Care and Social Assistance. This sector is primarily household-serving. Jobs in this sector grew rapidly, increasing from approximately 1,800 jobs in 2009 to 3,800 jobs in 2018, as Milpitas’ local population ages.

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:

Milpitas has a very diverse workforce, with occupations at a range of skill levels and wages.

The top three occupations, which each have more than 1,500 workers, include software developers and programmers, retail salespersons, and electrical/electronic assemblers.

Milpitas has many high skill/high wage computer, mathematical, and engineering occupations. This includes software developers and programmers, electrical and electronics engineers, industrial engineers, computer hardware engineers, and computer and information analysts.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
MILPITAS 74
There is also a concentration of various skilled trade production occupations in Milpitas—this is relatively unique within Silicon Valley. The largest production occupations in Milpitas include electrical and electronics assemblers, miscellaneous assemblers, fabricators, and production workers, semiconductor processors, machinists, and other assorted inspectors, testers, and samplers. These occupations are relatively concentrated in Milpitas compared to Santa Clara County. These tend to be middle-wage jobs with opportunities for upward mobility that, while requiring specialized skills and training, do not necessarily require very advanced degrees.

Many workers in Milpitas hold occupations in logistics. These include laborers and material movers, truck drivers, and industrial truck/tractor operators. These are generally low to mid-wage jobs, that require mid or low skill levels. Milpitas also has a large number of service industry workers, especially in retail and restaurants. Some of these occupations, such as retail salespersons, fast food and counter workers, waiters and waitresses, cashiers, and cooks, tend to be lower skill, lower paying jobs. Such low wages make it difficult for workers to afford housing in Silicon Valley, especially given rapidly rising housing costs across the region. Workers may need to take on more than one job in order to make ends meet.

On average, employed residents of Milpitas have slightly higher educational attainment than Milpitas workers. Employed residents in Milpitas that have a bachelor’s degree, or more is 37 percent, compared to 35 percent of workers in Milpitas.

With a net import of workers, Milpitas is a jobs-rich community. There are more outside workers commuting into Milpitas for work than there are Milpitas residents leaving Milpitas for work. Milpitas’ jobs-to-employed-residentsratio is 1.47, which is considerably higher than other neighboring cities such as San José or Fremont. About 12 percent of Milpitas’ working residents both work and live in Milpitas.

Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. • Milpitas Transit Center opened in June 2020, which includes a multi-modal transit hub with BART, VTA Light Rail, bus system and future shuttle that connects Milpitas north, south and west. • The Innovation District located around the Milpitas Transit Center may result in approximately 3M square feet of new office, research and development, industrial space with a workforce of thousands located in a premier Silicon Valley location with over 7,000 new residential units as part of a complete district and neighborhood.
• Milpitas Metro Specific Plan addresses the urban district with a focus on the Great Mall, the Innovation District, and the remaining connections and sites that will make this emerging area into an attractive and convenient neighborhood surrounded by the Milpitas Transit Center over the next 20 years.

How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
Given that Milpitas residents have a high education attainment rate (bachelor’s degree or higher of

55.3%), median household income of $140,124, home ownership rate of 63.7% and median age of 37.7 years, the future looks promising. However, during the pandemic, Milpitas has experienced an increase in the unhoused population and vulnerable people needing more assistance due to the housing crisis and the increase in the Bay Area’s cost of living. While the poverty rate in Milpitas is 6.7% compared to the state of California’s at 12.6%, the Bay Area constantly ranks as the most expensive area to live within the United States.

While Milpitas ranks well in Computer, Engineering and Science occupations, only 26.6% of those working in these fields are female. There is a strong desire for equity and balance as well as pay and wages to match male counterparts.

Milpitas’s occupational mix is diverse. Of the top occupations by number of employees, there are good quality jobs in Software Development, Programming, Electrical and Electronics Assembly and Engineering. It also consists of Retail Salespersons, Fast Food and Counter Workers, Servers, Cashiers and Cooks. The occupations in Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (PSTS) generally pay well.

For the workforce in the service industry, it is likely that some of these employees may be under resourced and spending more than 30% of their household income on housing and transportation expenses. The City of Milpitas is focused on ensuring that career pipelines are in place for increasing the quality of life for all residents and employees.

Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Consolidated Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
MILPITAS 77
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
There are currently no predominately low and moderate income census tracts in the city.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") Minority concentration is defined as census tracts where the percentage of individuals of a particular racial or ethnic minority group is at least 20 percentage points higher than the citywide average. LMI concentration is defined as census tracts where the median household income is 80% or less than the jurisdiction as a whole.

Because of the high percentage of minorities in the city, there are no areas that meet the definition of concentration. As for LMI concentration, there are areas of LMI concentration. Those areas are primarily in Census Tract 5044.18 (the Selwyn Dr./Edsel Dr. neighborhood) and the Census Tract 5044.12 (E.

Calaveras apartments).

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? These areas are multi-family, generally higher density, residential neighborhoods.

Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? n/a
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The city will continue to explore strategic opportunitiesfor our lower income residents.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate-Income Consolidated Plan

MILPITAS 78
Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)
Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.

Access to technology is fundamental for low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.

The need to adopt to modern technology is rooted in one’s ability to be connected. Lack of broadband creates a distinct disadvantage in a world where every day tasks continue to be migrated online. These disparities are worsened in terms of access to health care, education, employment, civic participation, commerce, and inclusion in society.

The City of Milpitas currently has the access to broadband. Per the attached map, at least 5 broadband providers are available for residents. However, the City is currently unaware of the true lack of access to broadband among its lower income populaiton. In consultation with the Milpitas Union School District's (MUSD) McKinney Vento coordinator, a federal homelessness designation, access to broadband was discussed as a primary need for students, especially ones who do not maintain a consistent residence.

During the heart of the pandemic, concern for the City's senior citizens manifested in CDBG activities related to access to broadband and technology to stay connected to loved ones and society at large.

Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.

Per HUD guidance, all Consolidated Plan submitted after January 1, 2018, must address broadband needs within the jurisdiction. Below is a map outlining mobile and the region’s access to providers offering broadband services. According to the Federal Communications Commission Fixed Broadband Deployment Map, 100% of the City of Milpitas residents have access to broadband.

The majority of the City of Milpitas has access to 3-5 internet service providers. Data was obtained from the Federal Communications Commission’s Fixed Broadband Deployment website. See attached photos for reference.

Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.

Describe the jurisdiction’sincreased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.

Per HUD guidance, all Consolidated Plan submitted after January 1, 2018, must assess risks of natural hazard associated with climate change to low-and moderate-income residents. As part of the 2017 County of Santa Clara’s Operational Area Hazard Mitigation Plan – a county wide plan that identifies risks from natural and manmade disasters and how to minimize damage – the City of Milpitas has reviewed and evaluated a set of potential natural hazards to help identify the top hazards threatening the area. The table below summarizes the analysis.

Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.

Vulnerable populations such as the elderly and disabled communities are adversely affected by natural hazards. Low- and moderate-income populations are also disproportionately affected by natural disasters as, on average, they lack the resources to adequately deal with the financial burden a natural disaster may impose.

Tenant Based
Rental Assistance
(TBRA)
As per the Needs Assessment, 12 percent of households in the city are severely cost burdened and pay more than 50 percent of their income toward housing costs.

TBRA for NonHomeless Special
Needs
Housing costs in the region continue to increase and be more burdensome for those with special needs. Housing affordability can help minimize the burden held by persons with special needs along with greater availability forsupportive housing.

New Unit
Production
The State of California’s Housing and Community Development Department has established the current Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for the City of Milpitas for the years 2014-2023. The city was allocated 3,290 units, of which 1,004 units for very-low income households, 570 to low income, 565 units to moderate and 1,151 units to above moderate-income households. This number is expected to close to 10,000 units in the next RHNA cycle.

Rehabilitation Over 60% of the housing stock in Milpitas was built before 1970, in which many will be due for repairs and rehabilitation work. The city’s CDBG funds will continue to fund organizations that complete repairs and rehabilitation for low and very low-income households.

Acquisition,
including
preservation
With a lack of vacant land and funding for new development, acquisition and preservation of the current housing stock is important to maintain the affordable housing stock.

the Pilot Rent Relief Program the City established in November 2019. • The City’s provides loans on an ongoing, as qualified basisfor BMR applicantsto qualify for purchasing an available BMR unit. • Measure A Affordable Housing Bond was approved by voters in November 2016 that approved $950 million dollars for the County to address housing needs for the most vulnerable residents, those in the extremely low-income households.

The City has taken proactive steps to help decrease the barriers in affordable housing through the following ordinances:

Resolution No. 8523
The City adopted Resolution No. 8523 on February 2, 2016, which recognizes homelessness as a crucial problem in the County and will consider contributing to future affordable housing projects that will house the homeless. The City is in discussion to create its first 100% permanent supporting housing project in Milpitas.

Affordable Housing Ordinance
On June 12, 2018, the City Council adopted Affordable Housing Ordinance No. 297 which requires that any new development with 10 or more units must include 15% of the units these units as affordable. The ordinance applies to both rental and ownership developments. In January 2022, Council approved changes to the Affordable Housing Ordinance to encourage more on-site affordable housing production. Council also adopted changes to add clarity and consistency throughout the ordinance.

Density Bonus Ordinance
To attract developersto build affordable units, the Density Bonus Ordinance will allow developersthe ability to build above their permitted densities in permitted zoning districts in exchange for the provision of affordable units in the development.

Below Market Rate Ownership
The City manages a Below Market Rate (BMR) Ownership program for first-time, income-qualified homebuyers. Once a unit from the current BMR housing stock becomes available, the homebuyer will have the ability to purchase a home in Milpitas at one of the various developments throughout the City. For qualified households, the City also provides a loan of up to $50,000.

Fair Housing
Milpitas provides CDBG funds to Project Sentinel. Project Sentinel is a reputable organization that provides expertise in fair housing and tenantlandlord dispute. Services include information, referrals, community outreach and education in several languages other than English, investigation, and resolving fair housing complaints. In addition, they provide education and outreach to property owners, and property management to become proactive in their housing policies.

There are two parcels controlled by the City. One parcel, located at 1432 S. Main Street, is owned by Milpitas Housing Authority and is approximately 0.9 acres in size. Currently the parcel is occupied by commercial tenants, but the land is zoned as high-density multi-family residential. The other parcel, approximately 1.7 acres, is located adjacent to the Milpitas Housing Authority property and is owned by the City of Milpitas. That City parcel is also occupied by commercial business but is also zoned for multi-family residential use. In January 2022, the City Council directed staff to sell the parcel owned by the Milpitas Housing Authority with the intent that the buyer will develop affordable housing.

Table 51 - Institutional Delivery Structure
Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System The delivery structure is established to provide social services to the community. Current strengths of the system include its ability to reach seniors, children and youth, and victims of domestic violence. The system has gaps in assisting the homeless and those most at-risk of homelessness. Currently, there are no homeless shelters located within the City limits. The closest shelter is more than 10 miles away in downtown San Jose. The system also lacks in providing adequate resources for those most at risk of experiencing homelessness. While the city has made strides to enhance that section of the delivery system, a substantial investment must be made to prevent those most at risk of homelessness from experiencing homelessness.

Table 52 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary
Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) Currently, there are no homeless shelters located within the City limits. The closest shelter is more than 10 miles away in downtown San Jose. The system also lacks in providing adequate resources for those most at risk of experiencing homelessness. While the city has made strides to enhance that section of the delivery system, a substantial investment must be made to prevent those most at risk of homelessness from experiencing homelessness.

The City contracts with the County of Santa Clara’s Office of Supportive Housing to secure services from its Homeless Engagement and Assessment Team (HEAT). HEAT focuses on providing direct outreach services to Milpitas’ unhoused residents. The outreach results in the placement of our unhoused residents into the community queue for transitional housing opportunities in the long term and counseling, mental health, and other resources in the short term.

Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs The City endeavors to connect with new service providers that can aid in filling gaps in the delivery system. However, the greatest need is to provide affordable housing opportunities. These opportunities are very few and far between. The 2020 County plan to end homelessness addresses the region’s strategy to house the unhoused population. As a regional approach, the County plan identifies a three part strategy: (1) Address the root causes of homelessness through system and policy change; (2) Expand homelessness prevention and housing programs to meet the need; and (3) Improve quality of life for unsheltered individuals and create healthy neighborhoods for all. With this strategy, the county estimates a 30% reduction in the annual inflow of people becoming homeless.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
• High cost of land and development of housing in general • Lack of local, state, and federal resources to promote more affordable housing • Lack of available, developable land throughout the city • Lack of appetite for more affordable housing from key stakeholders • General political opposition preventing affordable housing Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing Resolution No. 8523
The City adopted Resolution No. 8523 on February 2, 2016, which recognizes homelessness as a crucial problem in the County and will help contribute to future affordable housing projects that will house homeless.

Affordable Housing Ordinance
On June 12, 2018, the City Council adopted Affordable Housing Ordinance No. 297 which requires that any new development with 10 or more units must include 15% of the units these units as affordable.

The ordinance applies to both rental and ownership developments. In January 2022, Council approved changesto the Affordable Housing Ordinance to encourage more on-site affordable housing production.

Council also adopted changes to add clarity and consistency throughout the ordinance.

Density Bonus Ordinance
To attract developers to build affordable units, the Density Bonus Ordinance will allow developers the ability to build above their permitted densities in permitted zoning districts in exchange for the construction of affordable units.

Below Market Rate Ownership
The City manages a Below Market Rate (BMR) Ownership program for first-time, income-qualified homebuyers. Once a unit from the current BMR housing stock becomes available, a qualified applicant from the waiting list will have the ability to purchase a home in Milpitas at one of the various developments throughout the City. For qualified households, the City also provides a loan of up to $50,000.

Fair Housing
Milpitas provides CDBG funds to Project Sentinel. Project Sentinel is a reputable organization that provides expertise in fair housing and tenant-landlord dispute. Services include information, referrals, community outreach and education in several languages other than English, investigation, and resolving fair housing complaints. In addition, they provide education and outreach to property owners, and property management to become proactive in their housing policies.

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
In October 2020, the City Council endorsed the 2020-2025 Santa Clara County Plan to End Homelessness. On November 10, 2020, the City Council approved and authorized staff to enter into an agreement for homeless outreach, assessment, and street-based case management services with Santa Clara County. In December 2020, the City Council authorized staff to contract with Project WeHope to provide mobile shower and laundry services in Milpitas. The City Council also established a Homelessness Task Force, who will be responsible for providing low cost homeless response suggestions to the City Council. The City’s Building Safety and Housing team will continue to explore resources that can further benefit the homeless population in Milpitas.

The Santa Clara Office of Supportive Housing surveys homeless individuals every two years and writes strategic plans every five years, which involves extensive community engagement.

Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Milpitas will address emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons by continuing to coordinate services between the City’s Police, Building Safety & Housing, and Public Works Departments and our local service providers, such as LifeMoves.

CDBG Funded
• Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence: Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence provides client-centered, community-based supportive services for victims of domestic violence and his/her children. The organization also provides undisclosed emergency shelter when requested and needed by the individual and/or family.
• YWCA Silicon Valley (YWCA): YWCA Silicon Valley empowers women and her children to end racism and violence through offering supportive servicesforself-improvement and undisclosed emergency shelter for short-term to a longer amount of time if needed. YWCA also provides clients referrals to permanent housing if possible, and available.

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.

On November 10, 2020, the City Council approved and authorized staff to enter into an agreement for homeless outreach, assessment, and street-based case managementservices with Santa Clara County.

MILPITAS 105
The assessment will place our residents in the Santa Clary County community queue, which is the pathway towards being placed in rapid rehousing, transitional or permeant affordable housing. On March 16, 2022, the City Council approved allocating $100,000 from the Federal American Rescue Plan Act funding to extend the homeless outreach, assessment, and street-based case managementservices contract for an additional year.

Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs
As mentioned in the previous paragraph of CDBG funded programs related to emergency shelter, the City also funds organizationsthat take proactive measures in helping individuals in need of legal help, youth needs and concerns and fair housing so that he/she can become informed of his or her rights before the individual is forced into homelessness.

CDBG and City Local Funds
• Rent Relief Program: The Silicon Valley Independent Living Center has been administering the City’s Rent Relief Program, which offers low- and moderate-income residents no more than 3 months of rental assistance to prevent eviction, avoid community displacement, and to remain housed. • Child Advocates of Silicon Valley: Child Advocates connect court appointed special advocates (CASAs) to foster children. These volunteers must make a commitment to the children for a long-term, many for his or her entire life. The consistent support of the CASA is often the only adult who has steadily remained with the child, providing crucial mentorship.
• Seniors Adults Legal Assistance (SALA): SALA is committed to providing free-legal services to seniors.

Legal services that SALA provides ranges from: public benefits, long-term care, alternatives to institutionalization, elder abuse, long-term care insurance, incapacity planning, probate,simple wills and housing – related to Landlord-Tenant issues. Often, many seniors do not know his or her housing rights or sign over the will of their house without knowing, and with fixed income, many are unable to provide legal help. SALA provides legal help free of charge for these low to extremely low-income seniors.

Milpitas does not currently have an institutional discharge policy. The City collaborates with the Santa Clara County CoC, who recently updated their Quality Assurance Standards to include a homeless discharge coordination policy.

The County CoC endeavors to provide guidance and resources to those released from institutions. The discharge policy includes access to reentry resource centers where, for example, an VI-SPIDAT could be administered. The VI-SPIDAT measures the acuity level of an individual and is used to inform what type

Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
At this time, the city does not have a documented monitoring process or procedure. The City’s goal is to create these detailed standards and procedures during program year 2022.

In general, the City enters into a subrecipient agreement with each subgrantee. The terms and conditions are in compliance with HUD regulations and approved by our City Attorney. Once per quarter, each subgrantee is to report their activities to the City. This has allowed the City to maintain a high integrity level with regards to monitoring our subgrantees and reporting our progress to HUD.

MILPITAS 112
• The City of Milpitas Affordable Housing Fund – Used primarily to increase the number of new affordable housing units. It is funded through fees collected from developers in accordance with Affordable Housing Ordinance 297. As an example, the City used these fundsto initially fund the Pilot Rent Relief Program the City established in November 2019. • The City’s provides loans on an ongoing, as qualified basisfor BMR applicantsto qualify for purchasing an available BMR unit. • Measure A Affordable Housing Bond was approved by voters in November 2016 that approved $950 million dollars for the County to address housing needs for the most vulnerable residents, those in the extremely low-income households.

The City has taken proactive steps to help decrease the barriers in affordable housing through the following ordinances:

Resolution No. 8523
The City adopted Resolution No. 8523 on February 2, 2016, which recognizes homelessness as a crucial problem in the County and will consider contributing to future affordable housing projects that will house the homeless. The City is in discussion to create its first 100% permanent supporting housing project in Milpitas.

Affordable Housing Ordinance
On June 12, 2018, the City Council adopted Affordable Housing Ordinance No. 297 which requires that any new development with 10 or more units must include 15% of the units these units as affordable. The ordinance applies to both rental and ownership developments. In January 2022, Council approved changes to the Affordable Housing Ordinance to encourage more on-site affordable housing production. Council also adopted changes to add clarity and consistency throughout the ordinance.

Density Bonus Ordinance
To attract developersto build affordable units, the Density Bonus Ordinance will allow developersthe ability to build above their permitted densities in permitted zoning districts in exchange for the provision of affordable units in the development.

Below Market Rate Ownership
The City manages a Below Market Rate (BMR) Ownership program for first-time, income-qualified homebuyers. Once a unit from the current BMR housing stock becomes available, the homebuyer will have the ability to purchase a home in Milpitas at one of the various developments throughout the City. For qualified households, the City also provides a loan of up to $50,000.

Fair Housing
Milpitas provides CDBG funds to Project Sentinel. Project Sentinel is a reputable organization that provides expertise in fair housing and tenantlandlord dispute. Services include information, referrals, community outreach and education in several languages other than English, investigation, and resolving fair housing complaints. In addition, they provide education and outreach to property owners, and property management to become proactive in their housing policies.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan There are two parcels controlled by the City. One parcel, located at 1432 S. Main Street, is owned by Milpitas Housing Authority and is approximately 0.9 acres in size. Currently the parcel is occupied by commercial tenants, but the land is zoned as high-density multi-family residential. The other parcel, approximately 1.7 acres, is located adjacent to the Milpitas Housing Authority property and is owned by the City of Milpitas. That City parcel is also occupied by commercial business but is also zoned for multifamily residential use. In January 2022, the City Council directed staff to sell the parcel owned by the Milpitas Housing Authority with the intent that the buyer will develop affordable housing.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
Allocation priorities are derived through qualitative research such as surveys, public meetings, public hearings and other avenues of resident input. The research has impacted the priority needs that address the most vulnerable population in our communities and the City Council has established the priorities to address those underserved needs. The main obstacle is the lack of available funding and lack of flexibility in CDBG funding. As only 15% of the grant is available for public service activities, this severely limits the use of funds on addressing high priority needs.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
Consolidated Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
MILPITAS 132
The County of Santa Clara and the City have designated homelessness as a critical issue. Although the total homeless population is declining as a whole, there still remains 7,394 homeless persons. In Santa Clara County’s 2019 Point-in-Time Census & Survey Comprehensive Report, the survey identified a total of 125 unsheltered homeless persons in Milpitas. Notably, there was an 89% increase in unsheltered homeless persons in Milpitas. Given the complexity of homelessness, interagency and interregional collaboration is crucial in solving the homeless issue.

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
In October 2020, the City Council endorsed the 2020-2025 Santa Clara County Plan to End Homelessness. On November 10, 2020, the City Council approved and authorized staff to enter into an agreement for homeless outreach, assessment, and street-based case management services with Santa Clara County. In December 2020, the City Council authorized staff to contract with Project WeHope to provide mobile shower and laundry services in Milpitas. The City Council also established a Homelessness Task Force, who will be responsible for providing low cost homeless response suggestions to the City Council. The City’s Building Safety and Housing team will continue to explore resources that can further benefit the homeless population in Milpitas.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Milpitas will address emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons by continuing to coordinate services between the City’s Police, Building Safety & Housing, and Public Works Departments and our local service providers, such as LifeMoves.

CDBG Funded
• Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence: Next Door Solutionsto Domestic Violence provides clientcentered, community-based supportive services for victims of domestic violence and his/her children.

The organization also provides undisclosed emergency shelter when requested and needed by the individual and/or family.
• YWCA Silicon Valley (YWCA): YWCA Silicon Valley empowers women and her children to end racism and violence through offering supportive services for self-improvement and undisclosed emergency shelter for short-term to a longer amount of time if needed. YWCA also provides clients referrals to permanent housing if possible, and available.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to

Page 958 of 971 ends

Consolidated Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
MILPITAS 133
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
On November 10, 2020, the City Council approved and authorized staff to enter into an agreement for homeless outreach, assessment, and street-based case management services with Santa Clara County.

The assessment will place our residents in the Santa Clary County community queue, which is the pathway towards being placed in rapid rehousing, transitional or permeant affordable housing. On March 16, 2022, the City Council approved allocating $100,000 from the Federal American Rescue Plan Act funding to extend the homeless outreach, assessment, and street-based case managementservices contract for an additional year.

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
As mentioned in the previous paragraph of CDBG funded programs related to emergency shelter, the City also funds organizationsthat take proactive measures in helping individuals in need of legal help, youth needs and concerns and fair housing so that he/she can become informed of his or her rights before the individual is forced into homelessness.

CDBG and City Local Funds
• Rent Relief Program: The Silicon Valley Independent Living Center has been administering the City’s Rent Relief Program, which offers low- and moderate-income residents no more than 3 months of rental assistance to prevent eviction, avoid community displacement, and to remain housed. • Child Advocates of Silicon Valley: Child Advocates connect court appointed special advocates (CASAs) to foster children. These volunteers must make a commitment to the children for a long-term, many for his or her entire life. The consistent support of the CASA is often the only adult who has steadily remained with the child, providing crucial mentorship.
• Seniors Adults Legal Assistance (SALA): SALA is committed to providing free-legal services to seniors.

Legal services that SALA provides ranges from: public benefits, long-term care, alternatives to institutionalization, elder abuse, long-term care insurance, incapacity planning, probate,simple wills and housing – related to Landlord-Tenant issues. Often, many seniors do not know his or her housing rights or sign over the will of their house without knowing, and with fixed income, many are unable to provide

legal help. SALA provides legal help free of charge for these low to extremely low-income seniors.

Milpitas does not currently have an institutional discharge policy. The City collaborates with the Santa Clara County CoC, who recently updated their Quality Assurance Standards to include a homeless discharge coordination policy.

The County CoC endeavors to provide guidance and resources to those released from institutions. The discharge policy includes access to reentry resource centers where, for example, an VI-SPIDAT could be administered. The VI-SPIDAT measures the acuity level of an individual and is used to inform what type of support or housing needs are required. It also serves as the entry point for access to other resources or supportive services, such as residential or outpatient treatment, transitional housing, or emergency shelter access.

Fair Housing
Milpitas provides CDBG funds to Project Sentinel. Project Sentinel is a reputable organization that provides expertise in fair housing and tenant-landlord dispute. Services include information, referrals, community outreach and education in several languages other than English, investigation, and resolving fair housing complaints.

businesses.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City is striving to improve intergovernmental and private sector cooperation to synergize efforts and resources and develop new revenues for community service needs and the production of affordable housing. Collaborative efforts include:
• Regular quarterly meetings between entitlement jurisdictions at the CDBG Coordinators Meeting and Regional Housing Working Group
• Joint jurisdiction Request for Proposals and project review committees • Coordination on project management for projects funded by multiple jurisdictions. Recent examples include the effort by the County to create a regional affordable housing fund, using former redevelopment funds that could be returned to the County to use for affordable housing. Another effort underway involves the possible use of former redevelopment funds to create a countywide pool for homeless shelters and transitional housing. These interactions among agencies generate cohesive discussion and forums for bridging funding and service gaps on a regional scale.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City benefits from a strong jurisdiction and region-wide network of housing and community development partners, such as the County and the CoC. To improve intergovernmental and private sector cooperation, the City will continue to participate with other local jurisdictions and developers in sharing information and resources.

CITY OF MILPITAS

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Adopt a Resolution Appointing an Acting City Attorney (Staff Contact: Matt Cano, Assistant City Manager, 408-586-3012)
Category: Leadership and Support Services
Meeting Date: 5/6/2025
Recommendation: (1) Adopt a resolution to appoint an Acting City Attorney effective on adoption and continuing until City Council takes further action; and (2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to take such other actions as necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose of this appointment, including establishment of acting pay.

BACKGROUND:

As stated in the City of Milpitas City Council Procedures and Protocols Handbook, the City Attorney is appointed by the City Council and reports to the full City Council. The City Attorney advises the City Council and City officers in their official capacity on legal matters affecting the City, attends all City Council meetings and some board/commission meetings, and represents the City in legal actions and proceedings. The City Attorney shall work in collaboration with the City Manager.

The contract for previous City Attorney Michael Mutalipassi expired on April 25, 2025. As the position of City Attorney is now vacant, the City Council should take action to ensure an effective transition until a permanent City Attorney can be appointed. Assistant City Attorney Christopher Creech is currently serving as Acting City Attorney absent the City Council taking formal action to appoint an Acting City Attorney.

ANALYSIS:

During the normal course of business, anytime the City Attorney is on leave, the Assistant City Attorney, by nature of their position, takes on the duties and responsibilities of the City Attorney. However, as the City Attorney position is vacant, the City Council has the option to name an Acting City Attorney.

The City Attorney is an unrepresented management position. While unrepresented management does not have specific language governing acting assignments, working out of classification, or special assignments, City labor agreements do address these situations. Those provisions are listed below for background reference on compensation practices related to higher level assignments:

MEA: Employees assigned to duties of a higher class for at least one shift shall be compensated at a rate of 10% above the employee’s current base salary while working out of class, except where such increase exceeds the pay range allocated of the assigned position.

Protech: Employee shall be compensated at least 5% more than their salary or at the entrance step of the range of the higher classification, whichever compensation pattern is greater except where such increase exceeds the pay range allocated to the assigned position.

Mid Management and Confidential Unit: When assigned to upgraded duties employees shall be compensated at least 5% more than their salary or at the entrance step of the range of the higher classification, whichever is greater. Additionally, if staff is placed on a special project (special assignment) they are to be paid a minimum increase of 10% to 15% of their base salary.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1: Do not adopt the resolution appointing an Acting City Attorney.

Pros: None

Page 969 of 971 ends

Cons: The City Council is obligated by the Municipal Code to appoint an officer of the City to perform the duties of the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The current adopted pay range for the vacant City Attorney classification is $207,922.00 to $259,903.02. If the acting City Attorney is an internal City employee, the City Manager will authorize a 10% acting pay increase during the term of the acting assignment. It is contemplated the expense for an Acting City Attorney appointment will be well within the available salary savings from the vacant City Attorney position.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):

The action has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and is not a project pursuant to Pub. Resources Code, § 21065 and Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15378. The action is continuing administrative or personnel activity and is not a project pursuant to Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15378.

RECOMMENDATION:
(1) Adopt a resolution to appoint an Acting City Attorney effective on adoption and continuing until City Council takes further action.
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to take such other actions as necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose of this appointment, including establishment of acting pay.
