CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:

René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY:

Fernando Pelaez, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: REVIEW THE PROPOSED CITY'S PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING

ALLOCATION PROGRAM FORMULA FUNDING PLAN

DATE: October 12, 2022

RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:

1) Review and provide input on the Proposed City's Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program Formula Funding Plan to collect the City’s $1,900,548 five-year allocation; and

2) The Public Hearing for the consideration of approval of the City's Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program Funding Plan and Resolution will be heard at the City's Council Meeting on October 26, 2022; and

3) Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City of Montebello is eligible to receive an allocation of an estimated $1,900,548 in formula (i.e., non-competitive) grant funding from the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program formula component. This amount represents the first five years of funding available for this program. This formula funding will be a on-going funding stream if the City continues to meet the eligibility. The funding opportunity is available to local governments for eligible housing and homelessness activities.

Jurisdictions must submit a grant application and plan and meet eligibility requirements to access PLHA formula funds. Once the grant application is approved by the State, Staff

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF OCTOBER 12, 2022

will return at a future City Council meeting with an action to appropriate the funding in Fiscal Year 2022-23.

BACKGROUND:

In 2017, Governor Jerry Brown signed a 15-bill housing package aimed at addressing the State’s housing shortage and high housing costs. The Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2, 2017), established a $75 recording fee on real estate documents to increase the supply of affordable homes. Seventy percent (70%) of the fees collected go towards funding the PLHA Program, which is administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

PLHA’s formula component provides non-competitive funding to entitlement and non- entitlement cities. The current PLHA Notice of Funding Availability was released on August 17, 2022, and grant applications are due October 31, 2022. Staff received City Council approval at the August 1, 2022 City Council meeting to submit an application for the PLHA. Staff were aware that a NOFA would be released as HCD had communicated in advance that the City was now eligible.

The amount of PLHA funds allocated to each jurisdiction is directly proportionate to each jurisdiction’s share of the total 2017 CDBG allocation in California. The State estimates the City will receive approximately $1,900,548 over the program’s first five years. Of this amount, the City is eligible to receive an allocation of $316,758 from the 2019 allocation, $492,340 from the 2020 allocation, and $541,805 from the 2021 allocation. The remaining $549,645 from the 2022 and 2023 allocations will be disbursed in 2023 and 2024. Future allocations may fluctuate from year to year depending on recording fees from the number of real estate transactions. Jurisdictions must submit a grant application and meet eligibility requirements to access PLHA formula funds.

In order to be eligible to apply for this formula funding, local jurisdictions must have:

1. A state certified and compliant Housing Element. On June 22, 2022 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-52 approving the Housing Element Update for the 2021-2029 Planning Period (6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation); and

2. Annual Progress Reports (APR) submitted to HCD for Years 2019, 2020, and 2021. These reports have been submitted to HCD. APRs for 2022 and 2023 will need to be submitted to HCD to be eligible to collect future allocations.

The program guidelines require that the grant application include an adopted City Council resolution authorizing: 1) the request for allocation funding, 2) the proposed PLHA plan (i.e., how the City intends to spend its PLHA allocations), and 3) receipt of grant funds for the five-year period.

PLHA Eligible Activities

There are ten eligible activities under the PLHA grant:

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF OCTOBER 12, 2022

1. The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of multifamily, residential live-work, or rental housing that is affordable for extremely low-, very low-, low-, or Moderate-income households (up to 120 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), or 150 percent of AMI in High-cost areas). Predevelopment and/or acquisition must result in the development, rehabilitation, or preservation of housing, as otherwise there is no actual housing outcome of the predevelopment or acquisition assistance.

2. The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable rental and ownership housing, including Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) that meet the needs of a growing workforce earning up to 120 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), or 150 percent of AMI in high-cost areas.

Predevelopment and/or acquisition must result in the development, rehabilitation, or preservation of affordable rental and ownership housing, as otherwise there is no actual housing outcome of the predevelopment or acquisition assistance.

3. Matching portions of funds placed into local or Regional Housing Trust Funds.

Matching funds must be utilized as required by PLHA guidelines Section 301(a).

4. Matching portions of funds available through the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund pursuant to subdivision (d) of HSC Section 34176. Matching funds must be utilized as required by PLHA guidelines Section 301(a).

5. Capitalized Reserves for Services connected to the preservation and creation of new Permanent Supportive Housing (up to 30 percent of AMI).

6. Assisting persons who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness in conformance with 24 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR Section 578.3), (up to 30 percent of AMI), including:
o Rapid rehousing in conformance with federal rules contained in 24 CFR Section 576.104, except for legal services;
o Rental assistance with a term of at least six (6) months (rental arrears is not eligible);
o Street outreach, and other supportive/case management services in conformance with federal rules contained in 24 CFR Section 576.101 that allow people to obtain and retain housing;
o Operating and capital costs for navigation centers and emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing.

This Activity may include subawards to administrative entities as defined in HSC Section 50490(a) (1-3) that were awarded California Emergency Solutions and Housing (CESH) Program or Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) funds for rental assistance to continue assistance to these households.

Applicants must provide rapid rehousing, rental assistance, navigation centers, emergency shelter, and transitional housing activities in a manner consistent with the Housing First practices described in 25 CCR, Section 8409, subdivision (b)(1)-(6) and in compliance with Welfare Institutions Code (WIC) Section 8255(b)(8). An Applicant allocated funds for the new construction, rehabilitation,

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF OCTOBER 12, 2022

and preservation of permanent supportive housing shall incorporate the core components of Housing First, as provided in WIC Section 8255(b).

7. Accessibility modifications in lower-income owner-occupied housing (up to 80 percent of AMI).

8. Efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed or vacant homes and apartments (up to 120 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), or 150 percent of AMI in High- cost areas).

9. Homeownership opportunities, including, but not limited to, down payment assistance to those earning up to 120 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), or 150 percent of AMI in high-cost areas.

10. Fiscal incentives made by a county to a city within the county to incentivize approval of one or more affordable housing projects, or matching funds invested by a county in an affordable housing development project in a city within the county, provided that the city has made an equal or greater investment in the project.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

There is no environmental impact.

ANALYSIS:

N/A

DISCUSSION:

The City outlined homeless prevention goals and objectives in the City’s Homelessness Plan, adopted in 2018, and the recently adopted Housing Element. The Homeless Prevention Program develops strategic preventative measures to support and engage higher risk members of the community from entering homelessness or connecting them with resources to exit homeless quickly by either retaining their housing or using other housing strategies to ensure people move into permanent and stable accommodations that are affordable, safe, and appropriate with the support they need to thrive. Without a dedicated funding source to provide housing for the City’s homeless households, the remaining goals and objectives of the strategy will be difficult to implement.

Assisting persons who are at risk of homelessness is an eligible activity under PLHA (see Item 6 in the list of eligible PLHA activities, above). To support and address homeless prevention, staff recommends that the City use its PLHA allocation on three eligible activities (Items 5 and 6):

1. Rental assistance for homeless persons and low-income older adults in Montebello (Item 6a); and

2. Operating Support for the Montebello Community Assistance Program (MCAP).

MCAP provides street outreach and supportive case management services (Item 6b); and

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF OCTOBER 12, 2022

3. Capitalized Reserves for Services connected to the preservation and creation of new Permanent Supportive Housing (up to 30 percent of AMI).

These activities are eligible under PLHA and are recommended in the newly adopted Housing Element. The City’s grant application must include a high-level five-year plan outlining how it will use the total of $1,900,548 over the five-year period. Attached are a narrative description of these proposed expenditures and a budget illustrating the expenditures over the five-year period.

PLHA funding is time-sensitive, applications for the formula allocation must be submitted within 48-months of the budget appropriation. If a local government does not submit a complete application within that time frame, the allocation will revert to the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Fund for the Multifamily Housing Program or for Department- administered technical assistance to local governments.

The delays associated with the State’s approval of the City's Housing Element prevented the City from meeting the eligibility criteria needed to apply for PLHA funding until now. This year (2022) is the final year that the 2019 allocation of $316,758 will be available to the City. If not claimed this year, the funding will revert back to the HCD programs noted above. The PLHA grant formula component is now open, and applications are due October 31, 2022. It is of the utmost importance that the City submit the application to capitalize on this important funding opportunity. The proposed Plan is currently available on the City's website and was presented at the Homeless Task Force meeting on September 13, 2022.

SUMMARY:

Staff recommends that the City Council review the submission of the application to the PLHA grant formula component for $1.9 million dollars in formula funding from the California Department of Housing and Community Development.

Department of Housing and Community Development
2022 PLHA Entitlement and Non-Entitlement Local Government Formula Allocation NOFA 5 I. Overview

A. Notice of Funding Availability

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (Department or HCD) is announcing the release of the 2022 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program’s Formula Component Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for approximately $335 million in calendar year 2021 funds in addition to the $131 million in calendar year 2019 and calendar year 2020 funds for Entitlement and Non-Entitlement Local governments. This NOFA is funded from moneys deposited in the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund (Fund) in calendar year 2021 and includes any remaining unawarded funds not requested for calendar years 2019 and 2020.

Funding for this NOFA is provided pursuant to Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) (Chapter 364, Statutes of 2017). SB 2 established the Fund and authorizes the Department to allocate 70 percent of moneys collected and deposited in the Fund, beginning in calendar year 2019, to Local governments for eligible housing and homelessness activities. The intent of the bill is to provide a permanent, on-going source of funding to Local governments for housing-related projects and programs that assist in addressing the unmet housing needs of their local communities.

In 2022, the Department will issue two separate NOFAs to award the PLHA funds:

x Formula Component NOFA for Entitlement and Non-Entitlement Local governments

x Non-Entitlement Local Government Competitive NOFA (anticipated in June 2022)

This NOFA outlines threshold and application requirements for Entitlement Local governments and Non-Entitlement Local governments as defined in Guidelines Section 101. Entitlement Local governments are metropolitan cities and urban counties that received a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for fiscal year 2017 pursuant to the federal formula specified in 42 U.S. Code, Section 5306.

Please note that this NOFA has two separate threshold requirements sections:
x Local governments that received an award under the 2020 or 2021 Formula Component NOFA are subject to the threshold requirements outlined in Part II, Section F
x Local governments that have not previously applied for and received a PLHA award must meet the threshold requirements outlined in Part II, Section G

*** PLEASE NOTE ***
Any 2019 calendar year funds remaining after the close of the NOFA application period will revert to the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Fund established to be used for the Multifamily Housing Program (Chapter 6.7 commencing with Section 50675) pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 50470 (b)((2)(B)(ii)(VI) to be made available through a future Multifamily Housing Program Notice of Funding Availability.

2022 PLHA Entitlement and Non-Entitlement Local Government Formula Allocation NOFA 6 B. Timeline

C. Authorizing Legislation and Regulations

Senate Bill 2 (Chapter 364, Statutes of 2017) established the PLHA Program. The program operates under the requirements of Health and Safety Code (HSC), Part 2 of Division 31, Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 50470).

Section 50470 (b)(2)(B)(i) of the HSC authorizes the Department to allocate 70 percent of the moneys collected and deposited in the Fund, beginning in calendar year 2019, to Local governments.

Section 50470 (b)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the HSC requires the Department to allocate 90 percent of PLHA funds available to Local governments based on the federal CDBG formula specified in 42 U.S. Code, Section 5306, except that the portion allocated to Non-Entitlement Local governments is required to be distributed through a competitive grant program for Non-Entitlement Local governments.

Section 50470 (b)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the HSC requires the Department to allocate the remaining 10 percent of PLHA funds available to Local governments equitably to Non-Entitlement Local governments.

Section 50470 (d) authorizes the Department to adopt Guidelines to implement the PLHA program, not subject to the rulemaking provisions of the California Administrative Procedure Act.

This NOFA governs the administration of funding from the Fund (created by Section 50470, subdivision (a)(1) and appropriated by item 2240-103-3317 in the Budget Act of 2019) and made available under the PLHA program.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this NOFA shall have the meanings set forth in Guidelines Section 101.

2022 PLHA Entitlement and Non-Entitlement Local Government Formula Allocation NOFA 7 This 2022 NOFA represents the third year of funding under the PLHA program for the Entitlement and Non-Entitlement Local Government Formula Component as detailed below:

Revenue Collection period NOFA Issuance
2019 CY 2020
2020 CY 2021
2021 CY 2022
A. Eligible Applicants
An Applicant must be an Entitlement Local government, a Non-Entitlement Local government, or a Local or Regional Housing Trust Fund delegated by the Local government pursuant to Guidelines Section 300. Appendix A of the NOFA contains the list of eligible Applicants.

1. Delegation of Formula Allocation
An eligible Applicant may delegate their entire formula allocation to either another Local government or to a Local or Regional Housing Trust Fund. A Local government that delegates their formula allocation to another Local government or to a Housing Trust Fund must enter into a legally binding agreement with the other Local government or Housing Trust Fund. The delegate must submit the PLHA application on behalf of the recipient of the PLHA Formula Allocation and wholly administer the entire formula component of PLHA funds on behalf of the delegator for the full term of the PLHA Plan, as set forth in Guidelines Section 300(c). Both the delegating Local government and the Applicant must meet the housing element compliance threshold requirement as outlined in Section II, Part F of this NOFA.

Upon delegating its entire formula allocation to another Local government or to a Local or Regional Housing Trust Fund, the Local government that delegated their allocation is no longer involved in the PLHA application or administration of the PLHA grant for the full term of the PLHA Plan, which extends through 2023. The delegated Local government or Trust Fund assumes full responsibility for compliance with statute and for meeting all the Department’s requirements, including any penalties for non-compliance.

A partial funding delegation is not permitted under the delegation authority.

However, a Local government can subgrant a portion of its allocation to another entity, as permitted by Guidelines Section 302(c)(3). When a Local government subgrants a portion of its allocation to another entity, the Local government remains fully accountable and responsible for compliance with statute and for meeting all of the Department’s requirements, including any penalties for non- compliance.

Twenty percent of the moneys in the Fund are required by statute to be expended for Affordable Owner Occupied
Workforce Housing (AOWH). If funding proposed in Local
government Plans for AOWH activities is lower than 20 percent of the moneys available in the Fund, the Department may require Local governments to use a specific percentage of their annual formula allocations in some future year for AOWH activities as part of the annual funding process.

C. Allocation of funding and award limits

Appendix A lists the dollar amount of the allocation of PLHA funds. There is a Department of Housing and Community Development
2022 PLHA Entitlement and Non-Entitlement Local Government Formula Allocation NOFA 10 column indicating allocations for calendar years 2021, 2020 and 2019. If a Local government applied for and received their 2010 or 2020 allocations, there is a blank in those columns. If a Local government HAS NOT applied before this NOFA, there will be an amount listed in each of the 2019, 2020, and 2021 columns.

The PLHA funds allocated to each Entitlement Local government is directly proportionate to each Entitlement Local Government’s share of the total 2017 Community Development Block Grant Fund Allocation in California.

The PLHA funds allocated to each Non-Entitlement Local Government is based on the sum of:

1. Fifty percent of the funding available for the Non-Entitlement formula component divided by the number of Local governments eligible for the Non-Entitlement formula component; and

2. Fifty percent of the funding available for the Non-Entitlement formula component allocated in proportion to each Non-Entitlement Local government’s share of the total most severe housing need in California’s Non-Entitlement Local governments, based upon the most recent U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data.

Two or more Local governments may expend PLHA funds on an eligible jointly funded project, provided the project is an eligible Activity pursuant to Guidelines Section 301(a), and will be located within the boundaries of one of the Local governments.

An Applicant eligible for an allocation of PLHA funds must comply with the Deadline and Funding Requirements set forth in Guidelines Section 304.

In order to avoid amending the Department Standard Agreement each year, and to expedite the disbursement of PLHA funds, the Department Standard Agreement and the Applicant’s PLHA resolution shall include a five-year estimate of PLHA formula allocations, as stated in Appendix C, as the maximum funding amount. The actual amounts may be lower, and the disbursements will be based on the actual allocation amounts.

Please be advised that no funding from any subsequent year will be disbursed if the Local government is not in compliance with the housing element requirement and the Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) requirement stated in Guidelines Section 302(a) and (b), or in the event that the Local government has not submitted its annual PLHA report, as required by Guidelines Section 503. Please refer to Appendix D for more information on verifying housing element and APR status. In addition, the grantee must be in compliance with commitment requirements stated in Guidelines Sections 300(e) and must not incur penalties stated in Guidelines Section 502.

Department of Housing and Community Development
2022 PLHA Entitlement and Non-Entitlement Local Government Formula Allocation NOFA 11 D. Program Administrative, Activity Delivery Costs, and Reimbursement of Costs

A Local government that receives an award under this NOFA shall not use more than 5 percent (5%) of the award for administrative costs related to the execution of eligible activities.
