The City was able to make progress toward achiev ing many of its short and long -term housing and community development goals established within the FY 20 20-24 Consolidated Plan. These efforts were reflected in the creation and implementation of pro -active programs and projects designed to increase the availability of affordable housing, construction of a number of important infrastructure improvements, and preservation/expansion of public service programs and have been detailed in the annual submission of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports.

Listed below is a brief summary of the goals and accomplishments from the FY 2020- 24 Consolidated Plan. Please note the accomplishment data is through June 30, 2024.

A. Housing Strategy
Priority 1: Expand affordable rental housing opportunities, particularly for low -income persons.

Five-Year Total Goal: 202
Accomplishments through June 30, 202 3, 52 households were assisted through the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program
Evaluation: The demand for new affordable rental units remains high within Ontario. The City continuously seeks opportunities for funding for construction of additional affordable housing units, including funding that has recently become available through the State of California including the following programs: Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program (AHSC), Veterans Housing and Homeless Prevention Program (VHHP), and other new possible State funding. The City implemented a Tenant Based Rental Assistance program targeted at chronically homeless individuals and families over the past year.

Priority 2: Preserve existing rental and owner-occupied housing resources. 288

Five-Year Total Goal: 1,563
Accomplishment through June 30, 2023: 1,977
Evaluation: Over the past year, the City implemented the following programs to address this priority:
• Multi-Family Rehabilitation and Monitoring Activities • Community Improvement Team (Code Enforcement)

The programs implemented by the City over the past year had a significant impact on preserving the existing rental and owner -occupied housing stock within Ontario. The demand has remained high for these type of services is estimated to remain high for the next year.

Priority 3: Increase affordable homeownership opportunities, particularly for low - and moderate-income persons.

Five-Year Total Goal: 0
Accomplishments through June 30, 2023: 254
Evaluation: The most successful homeownership programs in terms of number of households assisted were operated by private and non -profit housing service organizations. Ontario continues to partner with the private sector and non- profit housing service organizations to increase affordable homeownership opportunities within Ontario utilizing these federal and state programs that are already available to low- and moderate-income households.

B. Homeless Strategy
Priority 1: Preserve and improve the supply of supportive housing and public services for the homeless.

Five-Year Goal: 31,250 persons served
Accomplishments through June 30, 2023: 2,240 persons served Evaluation: The City of Ontario over the past year continued to operate a comprehensive Continuum of Care Program within Ontario.

The demand for homeless programs and services is still strong. On a federal and state funding level, the availability of funding for transitional housing type products is dwindling. The federal and state funding has transitioned to “Housing First” type products. The City of Ontario is strategically investigating conversion of transitional housing programs into permanent supportive housing programs to ensure the viability of funding for housing options available to address the homeless within Ontario.

C. Special Needs Strategy
289

Priority 1: Preserve and improve the supply of supportive housing and public services to special needs populations.

Five-Year Goal: 750
Accomplishments through June 30, 2023: 29 persons served Evaluation: Over the past year, the City of Ontario encouraged partnerships to deliver supportive housing services and public services to special needs population, including the following programs:
• Senior Services operated by Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board • Project Gateway, a supportive housing program to assist chronically homeless households with mental illness secure permanent housing with a myriad of supportive housing services. Project Gateway is a partnership with the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino, County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health, Mercy House Living Centers, Ontario Housing Authority, and the City of Ontario.

The funding for the supportive housing programs that were implemented over the past year were successful and the City continues to see demand for these types of services.

D. Fair Housing Strategy
Priority 1: Continue to implement the Fair Housing laws by providing funding to further fair housing.

Five-Year Goals: 7,500 persons served
Accomplishments through June 30, 2023: 1,152 persons served Evaluation: This program has continued to assist the City in meeting its obligations to affirmatively further fair housing choice within Ontario.

E. Public Housing Strategy
Priority 1: Continue to support the on- going efforts of the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino and the Ontario Housing Authority to maximize the use of Section 8 subsidies and other resources in the City.

Evaluation: The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) implements the public housing strategy within Ontario. The HACSB is a Moving -To-Work (MTW) Public Housing Authority. With this designation, the HACSB is permitted to seek exemption from many existing Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher program rules found in the United States Housing Act of 1937 in pursuit of the three MTW statutory objectives:
• Reduce cost and achieve greater costs of effectiveness in Federal expenditures; 290

• Give incentives to families with children where the head of household is working, is seeking work, or is preparing for work by participating in job training, educational programs, or programs that assist people to obtain employment and become economically self-sufficient; and
• Increase housing choices for low-income families.

The HACSB has implemented a variety of programs that have achieved the MTW statutory objectives listed above.

The City of Ontario continues to believe that a working partnership with the HACSB will provide the greatest opportunity to provide high quality services to Ontario residents with the public housing strategy.

F. Community Development Strategy
The Community Development Strategy did not have annual goals as the goals were generally focused on larger long-term needs. All four priorities will be discussed and evaluated together.

Priority 1: Provide needed infrastructure improvements in target lower - and moderate - income neighborhoods.

Priority 2: Provide for new community facilities, neighborhood enhancement activities, and improve the quality of existing community facilities to serve lower - and moderate -income neighborhoods.

Priority 3: Provide needed community services to serve lower - and moderate-income residents.

Priority 4: Expand the City’s economic base and promote greater employment opportunities.

Evaluation: Over the past year, the City has continued to invest in the City’s infrastructure (water, street, sewers, parks, storm drains, and public facilities) and monitor the infrastructure needs. The City continues to thoughtfully focus resources through a Five -Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP is used as a tool by the City to: (1) identify capital improvement needs, and (2) coordinate the financing and timing of those needs in a manner that assures the most responsible and efficient use of the City’s limited resources.

The City will continue to utilize the CIP as a tool to identify needs throughout the community and focus resources to address those needs.

As it relates to the community services to serve lower- and moderate-income residents, the City has funded public service providers that have been focused on crime prevention and child care services. These programs consistently are identified as a high need through outreach to Ontario residents.
291

Lastly, the City continues to pursue activities to expand the City’s economic base and promote greater employment opportunities. The City has actively pursued other funding sources for these activities other than utilizing CDBG for these type of activities.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
Introduction
As part of its research on the needs of low income residents, and the development of strategies to address those needs, the City of Ontario Housing Services Department consulted with a number of other organizations that provide services to Ontario residents.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City of Ontario Housing Services Department staff members work on a continual basis with a number of regional agencies, including non -profit agencies, affordable housing providers, San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health, the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino, and the Ontario Housing Authority. The coordination between the City and these agencies provides better service and resources to the public on programs and services available through a variety of agencies.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

The City works in partnership with the County of San Bernardino Office of Homeless Services in support of the County's Continuum of Care to address homelessness on a regional basis. As part of this partnership, the Continuum of Care Manager regularly attends the County of San Bernardino's Interagency Homeless Policy Council. In addition, a staff member from the City is a board member of the West Valley Regional Steering Committee sponsored by the Office of Homeless Services. In 20 22, the County of San Bernardino adopted a Homeless Strategic Action Plan . The City supported the development and adoption of this document.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS.

Staff members from the City of Ontario Housing Services Department work in cooperation with Continuum of Care lead agency staff continuously throughout the year. City staff members are members of the San Bernardino County Interagency Homeless Policy Council, the Coordinated Entry System Planning Group, and the HMIS Policy Advisory Group.

Describe Agencies, groups, organizations, and others who participated in the process and describe the jurisdiction’s consultations with housing, social service agencies and other entities. 295

Narrative (optional)
The City works in cooperation with the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health, the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino , and local partners, to implement the Project Gateway program to provide housing assistance and services for homeless persons. Project Gateway provides 12 Project Based Rental Assistance units at eight different locations throughout the City of Ontario for clients that are homeless and mentally ill, or dual diagnosed. The City of Ontario established the HOME Tenant- Based Rental Assistance (“TBRA”) Program to help Ontario’s chronically homeless individuals and families secure permanent housing through temporary rental subsidies with or without rental security deposits and/or utility deposits. The program is administered by the City’s Housing Services Department staff.

In addition to Project Gateway and HOME TBRA, the city works in cooperation with the House of Ruth and Inland Valley Hope Partners to provide additional housing assistance services to homeless persons and persons who were recently homeless but now live in permanent housing. These organizations provide a wide range of services including housing referrals, assistance in identifying and obtaining resources necessary to obtain housing, transitional housing programs, and emergency shelter. 301

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state, and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied.

The City will seek available funding opportunities to leverage federal funds in meeting the goals established by this One Year Action Plan. Potential funding sources that could be used to leverage federal funds include Low Income Housing Tax Credits, Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Grant, Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities funds, CalHome funds, and local in- lieu fees for the development of affordable housing. HOME funds require a 25% match for each dollar spent.

Ontario has previously been designated as a distressed community and anticipates receiving a 50% HOME match reduction for FY 202 4-25. HOME match will be provided from available match on hand and from non -federal funding sources used for housing projects. ESG funds require a dollar- for-dollar match for each dollar spent. Ontario works in partnership with agencies receiving ESG funds to provide match from eligible sources.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan.

The City and the Ontario Housing Authority identified and acquired land for future housing projects pending additional funding to make the projects feasible. At the time of publication, the publicly owned sites shown in the table below have been identified and proposed for future housing development.
