May 27, 2025

The Craftsman architectural style is a staple of the Arts and Crafts movement where natural materials, and handcrafted work were seen as a counter-response to the mass- production of the industrial revolution. Gustav Stickley, a furniture maker, is credited with the increased popularity of the Arts and Crafts movement in America during the early twentieth century through his magazine “The Craftsman.” The magazine began to publish and sell Craftsman style house plans, initially only the home plans in Stickley ’s magazine were considered Craftsman homes, but eventually the name was given to the style at large. The Craftsman style was a recognition of the interconnection between artisan and nature. The name of this architectural style comes from the word craftsmanship because of the amount of detail and quality of materials used in their construction. This is evident in many Craftsman style homes where exteriors feature wood shingle siding, decorative exposed beams and multi -pane wood windows. Interiors commonly f eature built -in bookshelves and window seats, stained wood trims and prominent fireplaces.

The Charles E. Mead House is located on the northeast corner of Euclid Avenue and J Street within the Euclid Avenue Historic District and exhibits many key character-defining features of the Craftsman architectural style. The residence features a primary, front - facing gable roof with double, side-facing exposed porch gables and wide overhanging eaves. The wraparound porch has a stone wall with a concrete cap, battered (tapered) piers, and square porch posts. Concrete steps lead to the multi -paned front door with sidelights. A set of full -length paired casement windows with a Prairie style grid pattern are on each side of the main entrance. The home is clad in wood shingles arranged in a custom coursed pattern. The remainder of the home continues the elements on the primary façade and features casement multi-pane wood windows, French doors, lattice work and exposed decorative beams at the gable ends. The interior of the home features an open living area and dinin g room with built -in cabinets, shelves and an el egant fireplace. The interior retains the original trim, millwork and wall sconces and is furnished with antique furniture that is authentic to the Arts and Crafts architectural style. The front and rear yards are landscaped with a mix of mature heritage trees , rose bushes, and native plants. The owner recognizes the importance of nature in the style and intentionally landscaped the property to continue that connection.

The current property owner purchased the home in 1992 and completed numerous projects during that time including upgrades to the electrical and plumbing, installation of new narrow plank wood flooring, window repairs and seismic retrofit . In 2000, the property owner obtained permits to construct a n 850 square foot addition , adding 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom to the side ( north elevation) of the house. Special considerations were made to ensure maximum compatibility with the existing residence.

The new addition features custom cut composite shingle siding to match the pattern of the original wood siding. The addition continued other elements including wide overhanging eaves, decorative beams at the gable ends, exposed rafter tails, and casement windows with wide wood trim . Through the property owner’s outstanding stewardship, this home remains an excellent example of the Craftsman architectural style and a significant Contributor to the Euclid Avenue Historic District. 16 Planning/Historic Preservation Commission Agenda Report File No.: PHP25-008

Rehabilitation Award: 1125 North Campus Avenue
Award Recipient: Cindy Cottle

This single-family residence, situated at the
southwest corner of Campus Avenue and
Harvard Place , was constructed in the
Craftsman Bungalow architectural style in
1912 (est.). The one- story home features a
moderately pitched cross gabled roof, with
a wide eave overhang, exposed rafters and
decorative triangular braces at the gable
ends. A scored walkway and concrete steps
lead to the multi -paned front door with
sidelights. Other elements that are
representative of the Craftsman style
include horizontal wood siding, hung, fixed
and multi-pane ribbon windows, and a charming front porch supported by stone pier with battered posts. The home sits on a rock foundation and is framed by 2 mature Carob trees that are believed to be at least 60 years old.

In 2017, the home was purchased by the current owner with the understanding that the home needed numerous repairs. The property owner made a significant effort to preserve and restore many of the building’s original features while upgrading the floor plan and systems to meet modern needs. Interior work included the installation of a new kitchen with full height cabinets, quartz countertops and backsplash tile, original trim and built-ins were refinished, and the bathrooms were remodeled with period appropriate tile and fixtures. The interior floor plan was slightly modified to allow for a more functional design and new flooring was installed throughout. A new roof was installed, and new footings and foundation were constructed. New electrical and plumbing were installed, and the house was connected to the public sewer system, abandoning the original septic system.

Exterior work included new paint, landscaping and the installation of a new pool in the rear yard. The owner designed the pool using river rock and concrete to complement the Craftsman style of the residence. The detached garage was repaired and painted.

The front and rear yards were fully landscaped, and a new split rail fence was installed in the front yard . Custom river rock columns with a concrete cap were constructed and installed to mark the entrance of the property. The property owner intentionally s ought out a historic property and has made significant investment to uncover this previously hidden gem. The owner has been careful to make sure that any interior changes are sensitive and compatible with the original exterior historic features and has been an excellent steward to this historic resource.

Award of Merit: East Harvard Place
Award Recipient: Property Owners of 116-224 East Harvard Place

The College Park Historic District is a well -established, single-family neighborhood that consists of many styles of homes, including Mediterranean, Craftsman Bungalow, Ranch, and French Eclectic Revival. The original tract was from Euclid Avenue to Columbia Avenue, and Fourth Street to Princeton Street. The College Park tract was one of, if not 18 Planning/Historic Preservation Commission Agenda Report File No.: PHP25-008
May 27, 2025

the first, subdivision to have underground telephone, water, gas and electrical lines, ornamental street lighting, and streets and alleys that were paved and curbed. The College Park neighborhood has been altered very little since the 1920s when most of the homes were built. Many prominent people throughout Ontario’s History lived in the College Park tract, but the neighborhood was best known for the amount of teachers that lived there. The homes in College Park are an eclectic collection of architectural styles making this neighborhood truly unique. The Ontario City Council designated College Park as a Local Historic District on July 18, 2000.

There are many benefits to historic district designations including increased property values, neighborhood stability, a strong sense of community pride and a tangible connection to the past. It is also helpful that buyers of homes in historic districts tend to be more intentional. They are willing to pay a premium for an older house because its historic features and amenities have value to them. These buyers are evaluating craftsmanship, materials, and an authentic diversity of styles, all of which provide a neighborhood and home with character. Neighborhood characteristics such as mature street trees, unique light fixtures and sidewalks add to the desirability of these neighborhoods.

The section of Harvard Place within the College Park Historic District (116 -224 E. Harvard Place) is one of the most unaltered neighborhoods in the City. The parkways are landscaped with the original alternating street tree pattern of canary island palms and cedar deodars. The original King standard streetlights, scored sidewalks and curbs remain intact. The block features a mix of single and 2-story single-family residences in a variety of architectural styles. Each residence on this block would be worthy of recognition individually, and four properties previously received a Model Colony Award, recognizing the stewardship of the individual property owner. However, it is the collective effort of each property owner that has made this neighborhood truly remarkable. Each individual residence is largely unaltered , retaining their original exterior features such as doors, windows, trim, siding and overall form. Harvard Place is one of the most sought -after neighborhoods in the City, with one current property owner stating they approached several owners on the street until they found one that was willing to sell their property. It is stories like these that make it evident that historic neighborhoods attract a specific owner that is committed to maintaining the neighborhood’s character, creating a sense of pride and identity among residents.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE ONTARIO PLAN: The Model Colony Awards Program is consistent with the principles, goals and policies contained within the Vision, Governance, Policy Plan (general plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan ( "TOP").

ANNUAL LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS WITHIN ONTARIO PARKWAY MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NOS. 1, 2, 3, AND 4 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
June 17, 2025
SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt:

A
.

Resolution ordering the preparation of the Assessment Engineer's Reports for proceedings for the annual assessment levy within Ontario Parkway Maintenance Assessment District (OPMAD) Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4;
B
.

Resolution approving the Assessment Engineer's Reports for the annual levy of assessments within OPMAD Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4; and
C
.

Resolution for OPMAD Nos. 1, 2, and 3, and a separate
Resolution for OPMAD No. 4, declaring
the City’s intention to provide for an annual levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26 and set the date of July 15, 2025, for a Public Hearing on each district in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:

As proposed, the assessment revenue will generate approximately $677,459 from
OPMAD Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 for Fiscal Year 2025-26. For OPMAD Nos. 1, 2, 3 (Zone 2000-1) the total estimated cost of $634,220 for administrative, operation and maintenance will exceed the
assessment revenues of $264,555 (maximum assessment) by $369,665.

If approved,
appropriations
in the General fund will be included in future Annual Budgets to City Council for approval as needed for the City Contribution to Parkway Maintenance
. The assessment revenues for OPMAD No. 3
(Zone 2000-2) and OPMAD No. 4 are sufficient to pay all expenses within the district.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The first of these districts was formed in 1976 pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the 1972 Act). Additional territories are annexed to the districts from time to time as development proceeds. The districts were formed to help minimize 36 the continually increasing cost of maintaining and operating the landscaping along public streets where the property owners do not have direct access to the landscaping. An assessment is levied annually on benefiting properties for the cost of operation and maintenance of certain parkway landscaping facilities within the districts. The City’s Public Works Agency establishes the annual operation, and maintenance costs and administers the maintenance of the landscaping. Annually, an Engineer’s Report for each district must be prepared which apportions these costs to each parcel within the districts. The locations of the districts are shown on the maps included in the Engineer's Reports.

OPMAD Nos. 1, 2, and 3 are comprised of single-family residential developments. Due to varying characteristics, the districts are organized into benefit zones and/or maintenance areas. Each zone/maintenance area is assessed for only the operation and maintenance of the facilities from which it receives special direct benefit. The total assessment for each maintenance area is then apportioned to its constituent parcels.

The assessment revenue from OPMAD Nos. 1, 2, and 3 will generate a combined amount of $288,705. The assessed tax rates for Fiscal Year 2024-25, and the proposed and maximum tax rates for Fiscal Year 2025-26, are shown in Exhibit A.

OPMAD No. 4 is comprised of single-family residential tracts and the Ontario Mills development area. The district is organized into 6 maintenance areas. Each maintenance area is assessed for only the operation and maintenance of the facilities from which it receives direct special benefit. The total assessment for each maintenance area is then apportioned to its constituent parcels.

The
assessments for OPMAD No. 4 will generate a total of $388,754 and will include a transfer from the reserve fund in the amount of $2,923 to cover expenses within the district. The assessed tax rates for Fiscal Year 2024-25, and the maximum and proposed tax rates for Fiscal Year 2025-26, are shown in Exhibit A.

Pursuant to the 1972 Act, Engineer’s Reports have been prepared for each district and are on file with the Records Management Department. Each report includes plans and specifications for the improvements and maintenance, an estimate of costs, a diagram of the area proposed to be assessed (boundary and inventory maps), and an assessment of the costs to the various parcels within each district.

A public hearing is required for each district prior to adoption of the proposed assessments. A combined public hearing will be held on July 15, 2025. Following consideration of all public comments and written protests at a noticed public hearing and review of the Engineer's Reports, the City Council may order amendments to the Reports or confirm the Reports as submitted. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council will consider adoption of Resolutions confirming the assessments and ordering the levy of the assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Notice of the public hearing for the levy of assessments will be published in the local newspaper, in accordance with the applicable statutes.

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report

SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council consider and adopt:

A
.

Resolution ordering the preparation of the Assessment Engineer’s Reports for proceedings for the annual assessment levy within Street Lighting Maintenance District (SLMD) Nos. 1 and 2;
B
.

Resolution approving the Assessment Engineer's Reports for the annual levy of assessments within SLMD Nos. 1 and 2; and
C
.

Resolution for each district declaring the City’s intention to provide for an annual levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26 and set the date of July 15, 2025, for a Public Hearing on each district in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:

As proposed, special assessment revenue will be generated in the amount of $368,131 from SLMD No. 1 and $104,777 from SLMD No. 2 during Fiscal Year 2025-26. A portion of the facilities within SLMD No. 1 provide a general benefit to the public at large and cannot be funded with the assessment. The amount of the general benefit is $36,719. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Proposed Budget includes a City Contribution of $12,000 from the General Fund. If approved, appropriations in the General Fund will be included in future Annual Budgets to City Council for approval as needed for the City Contribution to Streetlight Maintenance.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 was formed in 1984, and Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2 was formed in 1999, pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the 1972 Act), to help minimize the continually increasing cost for maintaining and operating the City's street lighting system. A special assessment is levied annually on 73 benefiting properties for the cost of maintenance and operation of certain street lighting facilities within the districts. The locations of the districts are shown on the maps included in the Engineer's Reports.

The City’s Public Works Agency establishes the annual maintenance costs and maintains the street lighting system. An Engineer’s Report for each district must be prepared annually, apportioning the costs to each parcel within the districts. The districts are comprised of commercial, industrial and some multi-family residential properties. Due to varying characteristics, the districts are organized into benefit zones and/or maintenance areas. Each zone/maintenance area is assessed for only the operation and maintenance of the facilities from which it receives direct special benefit. The total assessment for each zone/maintenance area is then apportioned to its constituent parcels.

Therefore, the assessments are unique and specific to each individual parcel of property.

In 2021, the City
conducted a study of the current status of the improvements maintained in Street Lighting Maintenance Districts No. 1 and 2 to determine the funding that will be required for upcoming upgrades and normal replacement cycles.

The capital replacement cost for Fiscal Year
2025-26 is $220,877 and was
apportioned as follows: $176,451 for SLMD No. 1 (Zone 2000-1); $16,530 for SLMD No. 1 (Zone 2000-2); and $27,896 for SLMD No. 2.

The total assessment during Fiscal Year 2024-25 was $350,101 in SLMD No. 1, and $104,778 in SLMD No. 2. The proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessment for the two street light maintenance districts is based on estimated costs for the operation, maintenance, and servicing of the facilities included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Proposed Budget. The proposed total assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26 are $368,131 in SLMD No. 1, and $104,777 in SLMD No. 2. A portion of the facilities within SLMD No. 1 provide a general benefit to the public at large and cannot be funded with the assessment. The amount of this general benefit is $36,719 for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The general benefit will rely on a General Fund subsidy, and it will be included in the City's budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The assessed tax rates for Fiscal Year 2024-25, and the proposed and maximum tax rates for Fiscal Year 2025-26, are shown in Exhibit A.

Pursuant to the 1972 Act, Engineer’s Reports have been prepared for each district and are on file with the Records Management Department. Each report includes plans and specifications for the improvements being operated and maintained, an estimate of costs, a diagram of the area proposed to be assessed (boundary and inventory maps), and an assessment of the costs to the various parcels within the districts.

A public hearing is required for each district prior to adoption of the proposed assessments. A combined public hearing will be held on July 15, 2025. Following consideration of all public comments and written protests at a noticed public hearing and review of the Engineer's Reports, the City Council may order amendments to the Reports or confirm the Reports as submitted. At the conclusion of the public hearing the City Council will consider adoption of Resolutions confirming the assessments and ordering the levy of the assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Notice of the public hearing for the levy of assessments will be published in the local newspaper, in accordance with the applicable statutes.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:

In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City is expected to receive $1,839,944 in CDBG funds.

There is an available CDBG contingency from prior years of $380,382. Additionally, the City is expected to receive $676,960 in HOME funds and $159,530 in ESG funds from HUD. If approved, additional appropriations and revenues will be included in the Community Development Block Grant and HOME Grant funds in a future Annual Budget to City Council for approval as needed.

109
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

HUD requires that cities prepare and adopt a Five-Year Consolidated Plan, which includes an Assessment of Fair Housing and a separate Annual Action Plan for each year of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. These plans guide the City's use of federal funds from the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs.

The Fiscal Year 2025-26 One-Year Action Plan is the first plan under the 2025-29 Five-Year Consolidated Plan. It allocates funds to programs that support the goals and strategies outlined in the Consolidated Plan. Exhibit A provides a breakdown of the proposed funding allocations for FY 2025-26. The City accepts applications for funding from external organizations every two years.

Outside agencies submitted applications for consideration as part of the FY 2025-26 One-Year Action Plan planning process.

To gather public input, the City held two community meetings:

On January 16, 2025, Housing Staff held a meeting that allowed the public to participate in developing the Consolidated Plan and One-Year Action Plan. It also explained how organizations could apply for HUD sub-recipient grant funds.

On April 3, 2025, another meeting was held where Staff presented the proposed funding for 2025- 26 and continued to gather community feedback on both Plans.

Additionally, on April 11, 2025, the City advertised in the Daily Bulletin newspaper that the draft Consolidated Plan, Assessment for Fair Housing, and One-Year Action Plan would be available for public view until May 12, 2025.

The chart below compares the City's HUD allocations (CDBG, HOME, and ESG) for Fiscal Year 2025- 26 with those from the previous Fiscal Year:

The City of Ontario ( “City”) has developed the Consolidated Plan through comprehensive consultation and citizen input. The Consolidated Plan identifies the City’s needs in housing, homelessness, community development, and economic development. It also presents the City’s long-term s trategies to address the identified needs. The One -Year Action Plans provide the activities that will be carried out for the specific year and funding amounts for each activity.

A completed Consolidated Plan describes the lead agency responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of the plan and agencies, groups, and organizations that participate in the process. It also includes a summary of the citizen participati on process, public comments, and efforts made to broaden public participation in preparing the plan.

The Consolidated Plan includes the following sections:
• Executive Summary;
• The Process;
• Needs Assessment;
• Market Analysis;
• Strategic Plan; and
• First Year Annual Action Plan.

The first year's annual action plan is a part of the consolidated plan. The One -Year Action Plan identifies specific goals consistent with the Five -Year Strategy and lists projects, programs, and 242

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 6
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Evaluation of past performance
The City was able to achieve 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 proactive 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.

During the five-year period covered by the prior FY 2020-24 Consolidated Plan, the City received increases in ESG ( 3.18%) funding but a decrease in both HOME (10.51%) and CDBG (2. 67%) funding. The decrease in CDBG and HOME funding impacted the City’s ability to meet all of the projected goals identified in the FY 2020-24 Consolidated Plan. In addition to these funds, during this period, the City has also received and administered one-time funding for the CDBG-CV, ESG- CV, and HOME-ARP Programs.

Listed below is a brief summary of the goals and accomplishments from the FY 20 20-24 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: 80
Accomplishments through June 30, 2024: 189
Evaluation: Over the last five years, the City looked for opportunities to work with developers to increase the supply of affordable housing units through new construction. The City utilized HOME funds to operate a Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program. Two affordable housing development projects, Holt/Allyn Affordable Housing Development and Mission/Mountain Affordable Housing Development, began during FY 2023 -24 that will provide an additional 219 units of affordable housing for households at a range of income levels once complete.

Construction was completed for the Vista Verde Apartments with 101 units and Emporia Place II with 50 units. Funding for these projects includes a variety of sources, including Low- Income Housing Tax Credits, State of California Affordable Housing and Sustain able Communities Program, local funds, and Multi-Family Revenue Bonds.

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

Five-Year Total Goal: 1,530
Accomplishment through June 30, 2024: 1,256
Evaluation: Over the past five years, the City implemented the following programs to address this priority:
• Community Improvement Team (CIT)
• Guadalupe Residence
247
Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 7
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
• Ontario Shines Single Family Solar PV
• Ontario Shines Multi-Family Solar PV
• Assisi House Renovations
• Conservation Home Improvement Program (CHIP Loan)
• CDBG-CV Short-Term Rental & Utility Assistance Program • CDBG-CV Homeowner Utility Assistance Program
• Neighborhood Preservation Program (CIT)
• Measure Q Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) Program
• HOME-ARP Rent Program (HARP)
The City also continued to implement the Systematic Health and Safety Inspection Program during this period of time. This program proactively inspects all rental units, including single - family properties, within Ontario to ensure the quality of Ontario’s rental stock.

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

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

Five-Year Total Goal: 0
Accomplishments through June 30, 2024: 1,101
Evaluation: The City utilized CDBG, HOME, mortgage revenue bond, State of California BEGIN and CalHome funds, and private funds to implement and administer programs designed to increase access to existing housing resources. The City successfully implemented programs that addressed this priority. Increasing access to existing housing through financial assistance to homeowners eliminates a barrier to affordable housing.

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

Five-Year Goal: 22,325 persons served
Accomplishments through June 30, 2024: 66,766 persons served Evaluation: The City has developed a complete Continuum of Care for Ontario’s homeless population. Programs included the Ontario Outreach Team, Assisi House transitional housing program, 85 units of permanent housing, Family Stabilization Program at Sova Center, Services for Victims of Domestic Violence and their Children, and other outreach and engagement services.
248
Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 8
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The City works closely with other public agency partners, such as the County of San Bernardino Office of Homeless Services and the Ontario -Montclair School District’s Family Collaborative Services, and non-profit service providers in the community. During FY 2020-24, local funds were used to increase efforts to address homelessness including hiring three social workers to provide housing stabilization services and five case managers to provide outreach services and resources to the community. In addition, t he City has acquired a motel and is completing renovations to provide an interim access center along with temporary housing units and emergency housing beds at this location while a more robust wellness campus is being designed and constructed at this site. In addition, the City utilized ESG funds to develop the E SG Eviction Prevention (EEP) Program to continue efforts from pandemic funding and assist households at risk of losing their housing due to extremely low income.

C. Special Needs Strategy
Priority 1: Provide supportive services to special needs populations.

Five-Year Goal: 3,000
Accomplishments through June 30, 2024: 145 persons served Evaluation: Over the past five years, the City 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 , Ontario Housing Authority, and the City.

The funding for the supportive housing programs that were implemented over the past five years 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, 2024: 4,194 persons served Evaluation: The City has worked with the Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board with the funding of their services in the City including: The Fair Housing (AFFH) Program and the Landlord/Tenant Mediation Services Program. These programs have 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 San Bernardino County Housing Authority of to maximize the use of Housing Choice Vouchers and other resources in the City. 249
Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 9
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Five-Year Goals: N/A
Accomplishments through June 30, 2024: 3,133
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 costs and achieve greater costs of effectiveness in Federal expenditures; • 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 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 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 five years, 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 F ive-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 community services to serve lower- and moderate-income residents, the City has funded public service providers that have been focused on crime prevention, neighborhood 250
Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 10
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
preservation, and childcare services. These programs consistently are identified as a high need through outreach to Ontario residents.

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 types of activities.

Project Gateway provides 12 Project -Based Rental Assistance units at eight different locations throughout the City for clients that are homeless and mentally ill, or dual diagnosed. The City continues to implement 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.

In addition to Project Gateway and HOME TBRA, the City works in cooperation with House of Ruth, Foothill Family Shelter, 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.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal setting The Housing Services and Community Life and Culture Agency encourages and solicits the participation of its residents and other local agencies in the process of identifying housing and community development needs.

1. Summary of Citizen Participation
The Housing Services Department developed the 202 5-29 Consolidated Plan using substantial citizen participation and consultation. The process offered numerous opportunities for public input, comment, and review.

2. Community Meetings
The Housing Services Department conducted a community forum/public hearing to provide the public with an overview of the process and components of a Consolidated Plan on January 16 , 2025. This community forum/public hearing also provided an opportunity for the public to submit comments and input about community needs and issues. The community forum/public hearing was held at 208 W. Emporia St., Ontario, California at 6: 30 p.m. Bilingual staff was available for translation, as needed.

Both display advertisements and legal advertisements were published on January 4, 2025, for the January 16, 2025, meeting. These advertisements were placed in the local newspaper, the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin.

Housing Services Department staff were present at nine different City events. Residents in attendance at events were provided with the Community Needs Assessment Survey and information about the Consolidated Plan. Attendees were invited to participate in an engagement activity where residents selected their highest priority in select categories among activities eligible for CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding.

The City as part of the Neighborhood Preservation Strategy adopted in June 2019, held its annual Community Fair on September 28, 2024. The event was very successful with over 500 residents attending. Information booths were staffed by many City agencies, including Information Technology, Ontario Fire Department, Housing Services , and Ontario Municipal Utilities Company. Community partners also distributed information to the community including Neighborhood Partnership Housing Services, GRID Alternatives, In land Fair Housing and Mediation Board, and various other public agencies. At the Housing Services Department booth, attendees were invited to complete the Community Needs Assessment Survey and participate in the engagement activity.

The survey was broken down into five sections. The sections were Public Facilities, Infrastructure and Neighborhood Improvements , Public Services, and Economic Development, and Housing.

The survey asked the residents to pick three eligible activities within each section and number them 1-3 (3 being the top priority and 1 being low priority) according to their opinion of the importance of the activity. The survey was provided in English and in Spanish in an effort to encourage participation from the Spanish-speaking residents of the City.

In addition to the survey, an interactive exercise was completed at each of the City’s community events, inviting residents to mark their highest priority activity among the five categories of Public Facilities, Infrastructure, Public Services, Economic Development, and Housing.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The purpose of this section is to determine the availability of various resources, such as affordable housing, homeless services, services for special needs populations (such as, people with disabilities and the elderly), and community development resources. Information regarding housing needs and an analysis of the housing market and housing problems, such as substandard housing, overcrowding, and housing cost burden will be reviewed in the Housing Needs Assessment section. In addition, the Disproportionately Greater Need section will analyze if there is a greater rate (10% or more) of housing problems for members of a racial or ethnic group at a given income level versus the rate of housing problems experienced by the income group as a whole. The Public Housing section will summarize the needs of public housing residents and has been prepared in cooperation with the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino. An examination of the nature and extent of unsheltered and sheltered homelessness within Ontario is provided in the Homeless Needs Assessment. Housing needs for persons who are not homeless, but require supportive housing, including the elderly and persons with disabilities will be described in the Non- Homeless Special Needs Assessment. Finally, the need for public facilities, infrastructure, public improvements, and other public services will be described in the Non-Housing Community Development Needs section.

NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
Affordable housing is a critical need in Ontario and the City strives to maintain existing affordable housing resources as well as stimulate new affordable housing options. Ontario remains a high - cost housing location. As indicated by the 201 7-21 American Community Survey Five -Year Estimates (ACS), the City contains 22,787 renter-occupied housing units, this represents 44.6% of all occupied housing units in Ontario. The ACS also shows that approximately 13,270 (58.23%) of these households pay more than 30% of their income for rent. The ACS provides a higher number of households defined as cost-burdened (paying more than 30% of the income for rent) than the HUD provided 2017-2021 CHAS data in table 9.

Very low -income renters experience significantly higher incidences of housing problems.

According to HUD provided 2017-2021 CHAS data, 59.4% of renter-occupied households earning less than 50% of Area Median Income (AMI) experience one or more housing problems.

According to the National Low- Income Housing Coalition's Housing Wage Calculator for the period covering the year 20 24 workers would need to earn at least $ 38.65 per hour with an annual income of $80,400 per year to afford the rent of a two-bedroom apartment in Ontario at the fair market rent of $2,010. A household earning 30% AMI in 2024 ($29,750) would be able to afford rent of $ 731 per month. A two -bedroom apartment would require 2. 43 people working full-time jobs at minimum wage in order to be affordable.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.

According to U.S. Census Bureau report S1101 – Households and Families from the 201 7-21 American Community Survey Five -Year Estimates, the number of nonfamily households within Ontario was 11,037. The at-risk single person population in need of housing assistance would consist of seniors, homeless individuals, persons living in poverty, persons living with HIV/AIDS, survivors of domestic violence, persons with disabilities, persons with mental illness, individuals facing foreclosure, and persons who have recently lost employment.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.

U.S. Census Bureau report S1810 – Disability Characteristics from the 201 8-22 American Community Survey Five-Year Estimates indicates that the total estimated population in Ontario with a disability is 16,575 or 9.4% of the population. The largest segment of the population with a disability is 75 years or over ( 52.3%). There are a total of 7 82 affordable housing units within Ontario restricted to senior populations. The San Bernardino County 2023 Homeless Count and Subpopulation Survey: Preliminary Findings and Recommendations published in November 2023 notes that 372 homeless individuals were victims of domestic violence. The City works with House of Ruth, Inc. to provide a variety of services, including emergency and transitional housing, to victims of domestic violence and their families.

What are the most common housing problems?
The most common housing problem faced in Ontario is the cost burden of owning or renting a home. HUD standards indicate that families who pay more than 30% of their gross income on housing are cost burdened. As shown in Tables 9 and 10 above, 4,405 owner-occupied households pay more than 30% of their household income toward housing expenses , of those, 2,535 owner-occupied households pay more than 50% of their household income toward housing expenses, which represents 15.58 % of all owner-occupied households within Ontario.

Homeowners with incomes of 51 -80% AMI are affected the greatest in the 30% cost burden category. Homeowners in this income category represent 70.05% of those paying between 30% and 50% of their income toward housing expenses. Furthermore , homeowners with incomes of 0-30% are experiencing the greatest cost burden of over 50% of their income. Homeowners in this income category represent 39.64% of homeowners paying more than 50% of their income toward housing expenses.

Renter-occupied households experience similar problems with the cost of housing. A total of 9,970 renter-occupied households pay more than 30% of their household income on housing expenses, of those 5,885 renter -occupied households pay more than 50% of their household 273

income on housing expenses, which represents 43.58% of all renter-occupied households in Ontario and 19.52% of the total households in Onta rio. Renters with incomes between 51 -80% AMI are affected the greatest with 41.27 % of cost-burdened renters paying more than 3 0% of their income toward housing falling within this income category.

Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Small family renter-occupied and owner-occupied households are the greatest affected across all income categories for both cost burdened categories. Small family renter- occupied households make up 53.37% and 54.29% of the total renter-occupied households paying more than 30% and 50% of their incomes for housing expenses respectively. Of the total owner-occupied households paying more than 50% of their income for housing expenses, small family households (50.30%) are the greatest affected across all other in come categories. Additionally, small family owner - occupied households make up 40.91% of the total owner-occupied households paying more than 30%.

Describe the characteristics and needs of Low -income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re -housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance.

Extremely low -income households, roughly 4,080 households (or 7.99 % of the City' s total households according to the 2017-2021 ACS CHAS data) are cost burdened in the City and are at risk of becoming homeless. Other low -income categories exhibiting high number of households experiencing cost burden in the City include sm all family renter households (5,375 households), and 1,785 elderly renters and 700 elderly owner households. The needs of these categories are:
• Rental and childcare assistance;
• Activities and programs that raise median income; and • Continued fair housing practices to reduce the impacts of housing discrimination.

If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at -risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at- risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates:

The City used the 2017-2021 CHAS data to estimate at-risk households based on households that are cost-burdened and extremely low-income. Extremely low-income households who are paying a significant portion of their income for housing costs are more likely to be at risk of losing their housing when experiencing an unexpected increase in cost in other areas or a loss in income making their risk of homelessness higher than other households.

Specify the particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
The lack of affordable housing for lower-income households has been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness. With cost burdens of paying more than 30% of household income toward housing expenses affecting owner-occupied and renter -occupied households alike, instability and the risk of homelessness affects many households. 274

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 33
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Other areas that could impact stability and an increased risk of homelessness are prolonged unemployment, foreclosure, mental illness, domestic violence, drug and/or alcohol addiction, unanticipated medical expenses, disabilities, exiting an institution such as jail or a mental health facility, exiting a skilled nursing care center, and other emergency or unexpected expenses.

The City works with a number of programs and agencies to address these factors and assist with reducing the risk for instability. The City of Ontario’s Housing Services Department utilizes HUD grant funding and other local or regional resources to fund multiple rental subsidy programs to low- and moderate -income households in order to reduce the risk of cost burdened families entering into homelessness . In addition, the City works with the SOVA Food Security Program, which serves a number of at -risk households by providing a 15 -day supply of meals for families and classes to help families make more budget-conscious food choices. The City also works with Neighborhood Partnership Housing Services (NPHS), a NeighborWorks organization, to provide homebuyer and homeowner counseling, debt and credit management, and additional resources to assist low -income homebuyers and homeowners. Finally, the City works with the Ontario - Montclair School District to participate in housing assistance programs funded by the City for families in overcrowded housing units and those without a stable permanent housing solution.

Discussion
Housing problems continue to affect residents of Ontario. Using data from Table 8 , renters with one or more housing problems represent 55.78% of total renter-occupied households and owners with one or more housing problems represent 24.68% of total owner -occupied households. As discussed earlier, the largest housing problem for residents in Ontario is the cost of housing. The City works with the Ontario Housing Authority, private developers, non -profit developers, non-profit agencies, such as Neighborhood Partnership Housing Services, and other governmental agencies, such as the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development, to provide resources to help make housing more affordable. The City actively seeks funding opportunities to provide down payment assistance to lo w-income homebuyers and opportunities to develop additional affordable rental housing.

Unfortunately, there are limited resources available for these types of activities, which makes development of affordable housing difficult. Given the changing nature of available funds, the City is always looking to form new partnerships with other public sector or private sector agencies to provide creative solutions to affordable housing.

The strategic plan and goals have been developed to address the housing needs by increasing the supply of quality affordable housing, reducing housing cost burden, reducing overcrowding, and facilitating investment to improve substandard housing throughout Ontario.

NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

This section assesses the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole. 275

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 34
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Based on data shown in tables 13-16, a total of 26,640 households across all income levels served as the sample size to determine disproportionate need of households experiencing severe housing problems.

HUD defines a disproportionately greater need as when a racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience housing problems at a rate greater than 10% of that income level as a whole.

The four housing problems are a lack of complete kitchen facilities, lack of plumbing facilities, overcrowding defined as more than one person per room, and cost burden of more than 30% of the household income spent on housing.

The income levels are defined as follows:
• Extremely Low Income 0-30% AMI
• Low Income >30-50% AMI
• Moderate Income >50-80% AMI
• Middle Income >80-100% AMI
Tables 13 through 16 demonstrate housing problems by income, race, and ethnicity. Each table provides data for one of the four above noted income levels. 0%-30% of Area Median Income

Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has a disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

Introduction
This section assesses the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

Pursuant to HUD Consolidated Plan guidelines, a disproportionately greater need exists when a particular racial or ethnic group at a given income level experiences severe housing problems at a rate at least greater than 10% of the income level as a whole. The severe housing problems include lack of complete kitchen facilities, lack of plumbing facilities, overcrowding of more than

1.5 persons per room, and housing cost burden of more than 50% of gross household income.

Tables 17-20 capture the number of severe housing problems by income, race, and ethnicity for different income levels.

Introduction:

This section assesses the need of any racial of ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

HUD states a disproportionately greater housing cost burden exists when members of a racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience a housing cost burden at a rate of 10% greater than the income level as a whole.

Table 21 displays cost burden information for Ontario as a whole and for each racial and ethnic group including no cost burden (0 -30% of gross household income used for housing expenses), cost burden (>30 -50% of gross household income used for housing expenses), and severe cost burden (>50% of gross household income used for housing expenses), and no/negative income.

Discussion:

Based on the data provided in Table 2 1, a total of 49,643 households across all income groups were sampled to determine the extent to which low to moderate -income households experienced housing cost burdens. Based on this data, housing cost burden appears to be a problem shared among all racial groups and no one racial group appears to have a statistically significant greater cost burden.

Cost Burden 30-50%
The total number of households experiencing cost burden in 11,154 or 22.47% of all households sampled. Of these households, no racial or ethnic group represents a disproportionately greater need than the jurisdiction as a whole.

Cost Burden >50%
The total number of households experiencing a severe cost burden in 10 ,030 or 20.20% of all households sampled. Of these households, Black/African American households (33.84%) and Pacific Islander households (30.00%) experience a disproportionately greater need than the jurisdiction as a whole.

NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion – 91.205(b)(2) Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole? The following discussion is a summary of the specific observations noted for each income category and housing problem discussed above. Housing problems, such as a lack of complete kitchen or plumbing facilities, overcrowding with more than one person per room, and a cost burden of more than 30%, are being experienced in a disproportionately greater need by Pacific Islanders and American Indian, Alaska Native with extremely low and middle incomes . In addition, Black/African American households with low and m iddle income have a disproportionately greater need with housing problems. Asian households with moderate and middle incomes also experience housing problems at a disproportionately greater rate than households with those income levels as a whole.

With regard to severe housing problems, such as lack of kitchen or plumbing facilities, overcrowding with more than 1.5 persons per room, and a cost burden of more than 50%, Pacific Islanders and American Indian, Alaska Native with extremely low -income categories experience a disproportionately greater need. All racial and ethnic groups at the higher moderate - and middle-income levels experience similar needs.

Overall, Pacific Islanders and American Indian, Alaska Native with extremely low -income households experience a disproportionately greater need in the cost burdened and housing problem categories. It should be noted that the Pacific Islanders and American Indian, Alaska Native population is less than .12% of the City’s total household population.

If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? There are no known needs that have not been identified within this section.

Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community?
Ontario is a diverse community. There does not appear to be a high concentration of any one minority group experiencing a disproportionately greater need in a specific neighborhood or area in the community.

The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) maintains site-based waiting lists for its public housing communities. There are approximately 100,000 households on the current public housing waiting lists, of those approximately 7% of households have identified themselves or someone in their family as having a special need which would require the HACSB to provide a reasonable accommodation in order to utilize its programs. However, the HACSB application does not ask applicants to disclose information related to the type of disability and/or accommodation needed.

Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders Based on detailed tracking of Reasonable Accommodation requests received by the HACSB from its Housing Choice Voucher participants and Project Based Voucher residents, the greatest need 286

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 45
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
for accommodation is an additional bedroom either for the disabled household member and/or a required Live-in-Aide. For Public Housing residents the greatest need for accommodation is an additional bedroom either for the disabled household member and/or a required Live -in-Aide, however, the needs for a modification to a unit or for an accessible unit make up approximately 18% of all requests.

How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large While the needs of recipients receiving vouchers are more extensive, the need for decent and affordable housing is also reflected in the population at large. Citywide, there are at -risk populations in need of greater assistance than the population at large , including homeless individuals and families, low-income seniors, and people with disabilities.

For low- and moderate-income households, affordable housing, healthcare, and basic goods and services can sometimes be unattainable and recipients must rely on additional programs to obtain these necessary items. Housing subsidy through rental assistance, housing rehabilitation, and affordable housing acquisition is clearly a continuing need for a defined portion of the population. Stabilizing housing is a vital first step to maintaining the number and strength of the population at large.

Discussion
The City will continue to coordinate public housing efforts with the HACSB. The City will continue to seek all opportunities to maintain and increase the supply of affordable housing available in both public housing programs and other funding mechanisms. 287

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)
Introduction:

When a low -income household suffers from a personal crisis, the result can be loss of their housing. Issues most often cited by homeless persons as the cause of homelessness include substance abuse, loss of employment, health issues and injuries.

To most efficiently address the needs of the homeless population, HUD has tasked local governments with developing a Continuum of Care. The Continuum of Care (CoC) is a planning model designed to promote communitywide commitment to the goal of ending homel essness; provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, and State and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and displacement caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities by homelessness; promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

The City is part of the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP). The SBCHP consists of community and faith -based organizations, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, private industry, and federal, state, and local governments. Participating in the SBCHP, Ontario is able to leverage resources and ensure that a spectrum of services designed to meet the individual needs of homeless individuals and families can be developed.

A Continuum of Care will provide a range of services, including homelessness prevention, outreach and assessment, rapid re -housing, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing. For many Ontario residents, the first entry into the Continuum of Care is through connections made by Ontario’s Housing Services Outreach Team. The main goal of the outre ach team is to bring awareness of available services and resources to the community to address households who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Services provided by the outreach team include case management and advocacy for resources such as housing programs, mental health services, substance use treatment, employment services, food banks, public benefits, and medical programs. Additionally, the outreach team provides resources to meet immediate needs such as snack bags, bus passes, water, and hygiene kits.

Ontario is in the process of developing an interim Ontario Wellness Center, where individuals and families obtain emergency and interim housing along with supportive services directed to getting individuals and families off the streets and into a safe environment. From this point, homeless individuals and families will be assessed to determine if they are appropriate for rapid re-housing or temporary housing. Rapid re-housing involves moving a homeless individual or family into a permanent housing unit, usually with some kind of housing subsidy, and then providing supportive services to help them maintain their housing. Temporary housing provides housing and supportive services on a limited time basis, usually six months up to two years, to prepare a homeless individual or family to maintain stable housing after they exit the program. Finally, the goal is permanent housing, with or without supportive services, where formerly homeless individuals and families can live independently in a housing unit that they can afford and will be able to sustain. Stabilization services are typically provided to assist the family in overcoming any obstacles that may jeopardize their housing.

Comments:

San Bernardino County 2024 Homeless Count and Subpopulation Survey used for the racial and ethnicity demographics of the unsheltered homeless population in Ontario.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans.

According to PITC data, there are no families and 8 veterans in Ontario experiencing homelessness in 2024. This represents approximately 4.9% of the total unsheltered populations counted during the point in time count.

Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.

As shown in the table above, over half (5 6.4%) of Ontario’s homeless population that was surveyed during the 2024 Point- in-Time Count wa s Hispanic and the largest race wa s White (26.9%). This data mirrors the population demographics of the City , which according to 20 22 American Communities Survey 5 -Year Estimates Table B03002, Hispanic or Latino by Race, has

70.21% Hispanic population and 35.09% White population. It does not appear that any specific race is experiencing homeless disproportionately.

Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.

The San Bernardino County 20 24 Homeless Count and Subpopulation Survey identifies 4,255 adults and children who are homeless on a given day in San Bernardino County. Of the 4,255 persons, 3,055 are unsheltered and 1,200 were sheltered. In Ontario, a total of 197 homeless persons were identified during the 2024 point in time count. There were 163 persons who were unsheltered and 34 sheltered with overnight vouchers or in transitional housing. The homeless population counted in Ontario represents 4.63% of the total homeless population counted in San Bernardino County. Within those surveyed in Ontario’s unsheltered population, 46.2 % were identified as chronically homeless and there were no chronically homeless families. There were no identified homeless population with children, 7.7% were victims of domestic violence, and

10.3% were veterans. Moreover, 25.6% of the Ontario unsheltered homeless population was experiencing a substance use problem or a disorder that seriously limits ability to live independently. The unsheltered population con tained 6.4% with a developmental disability,

26.9% with a physical disability, 24.4 % with mental health problems, and 1.3 % diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.

Discussion:

In December 2023, the City of Ontario established an City-staffed outreach team. The main goal of the outreach team is to bring awareness of available services and resources to the community and to address households who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Services provided by the outreach team include case management and advocacy for resources such as housing programs, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, employment services, food banks, public benefits, and medical programs. Additionally, the outreach team provides resources to meet immediate needs such as snack bags, bus passes, water, and hygiene kits.

In August 2023, the City of Ontario established the HOME -ARP Rental Assistance Program to mitigate potential homelessness and displacement of existing Ontario residents experiencing housing instability. Specifically, this program is aimed to assist Ontario residents at risk of homelessness by providing prospective and deferred rent payments. The program offers a comprehensive financial assistance package, which includes up to twelve months of financial assistance, of which up to six months can be used for r ental arrears, with a maximum program limit of $30,000 per household. Eligible households receive this assistance to help stabilize their housing situation. Additionally, the program provides supportive services aimed at facilitating long-term housing stability.

The City has also developed the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program (TBRA) in 2014 which provides 12-month housing vouchers for chronically homeless individuals and families to rapidly re-house them into permanent housing. As part of the TBRA program, the City has established a partnership with Ontario Montclair School District to serve homeless families that meet the McKinney-Vento Education Program definition of homelessness to help stabilize families living in unstable housing conditions, including over-crowded units.

The affordable permanent housing program consists of 85 units of affordable housing that offers optional housing stabilization supportive services. Tenancy is ongoing provided the tenant adheres to polices outlined in the tenant lease. In addition, the City has worked in cooperation with the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health and the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino to develop Project Gateway which provides up to 12 units of Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) within the inventory of the 85 permanent housing units.

These units are available to disabled, chronically homeless individuals with supportive housing services.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction:

The non-homeless special needs populations include the elderly and the frail elderly, persons with mental, physical, and/or developmental disabilities, persons with alcohol or other drug addiction, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and victims of d omestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. These non -homeless special needs populations are not inherently at-risk of becoming homeless. However, without supportive housing and services, they are at risk of remaining in poverty, and may ultimately face homelessness or institutionalization.

Below is a general description of the characteristics of special needs populations in the City . In 291

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 50
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
each instance, each special needs population is defined, and a brief outline, statistical data, and issues facing each population are discussed.

Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:

Elderly persons are residents of the City that are 62 years or older and frail elderly persons are defined as elderly persons who require assistance with three or more activities of daily living, such as bathing, walking, and performing light housework. According to the American Community Survey 1 -Year Estimates for 20 23, the median age was 3 4.2 years, and in 20 22 the median age was 3 3.6 years. The percentage of the population over 62 years of age has also decreased from 14.4% to 13.6%.

Mental illness is defined as having a diagnosable mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder of sufficient duration to meet diagnostic criteria specified within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM -IV). Mental illness can include m ajor depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post -traumatic stress disorder, and borderline personality disorder. According to Table S1810 of the American Community Survey 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates, there were 12,262 or 6.89% of the population in Ontario living with a cognitive or independent living difficulty disability. These illnesses can affect the lives of residents or prevent them from maintaining housing, a steady job, and relationships with family and friends.

Persons with Disabilities encompass a large population, some of which fall into more than one special needs categories. According to the American Community Survey 2019- 2023 5-Year Estimates, the number of persons living with disabilities in Ontario is 16,821, representing 9.5% of the population. An estimated 34.27% of the population 65 years and over in Ontario are classified as having a disability. These disabilities can hinder residents from finding adequate housing, work, and often require additional income to afford proper treatment.

Persons with alcohol and drug addictions remain an ever-changing population that places a high demand on resources. Often an individual with alcohol and/or other addictions goes undiagnosed. Alcohol use and the illegal use of drugs, such as opioids, marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription medications, is associated with other serious consequences including injury, illness, disability and death, as well as crime, domestic violence, and lost workplace productivity. Without treatment, these residents can become a danger to themselves and their family resulting in possible arrests and other dangerous consequences.

What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
These populations are not inherently at-risk of becoming homeless; however, without supportive housing and services, they are at risk of remaining in poverty and may ultimately face homelessness or institutionalization.

Outside of general population data, there is little data on elderly persons and frail elderly persons within the City. These residents may need affordable housing, accessible housing, and home improvement programs to add accessibility improvements to their homes. In addition to those housing services, these residents may also need referrals for services available to seniors. 292

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 51
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Mentally ill residents may also need affordable housing and would need a broader spectrum of supportive services than the general population. They may need counseling services, prescription assistance, health care assistance, substance abuse counseling, jo b referrals, and crisis intervention.

According to data provided from the American Community Survey 2019- 2023 5-Year Estimates, there are approximately 16,821 persons in Ontario with a disability. The instance of disabilities among seniors is significantly higher with 34.27% of the population aged 65 years and over living with some type of disability. These residents may need affordable housing, accessible housing, and home improvement programs to add accessibility improvements to their homes. In addition, they may need fair housing counseling services and health care assistance.

Persons with alcohol or drug addictions may also need affordable housing or housing with supportive services. In addition, they may need counseling services, court services, health care assistance, and substance abuse intervention services.

The needs within Ontario for each of these populations are determined by the available demographics, including population data and data from existing public services and non- profit service providers. Collaboration with these agencies in the preparation of the City’s strategic plan assist in identifying programs that meet the needs based on the demand within the City.

Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:

The City does not receive HOPWA funds.

Discussion:

A wide variety of programs and services provided by the City and several agencies are currently available in Ontario . The City currently monitors 7 82 units of affordable housing restricted to senior citizens. In addition, the City works with several County of San Bernardino agencies, such as Department of Behavioral Health, Department of Aging and Adult Services, and Department of Public Health, that provide services to these special needs populations. The City also coordinates with several non- profit agenc ies to provide housing resources and supportive services to the special needs population, including Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board and Neighborhood Partnership Housing Services.

NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs – 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities:

Public facilities such as health, recreation, and children’s facilities are provided in Ontario . For lower income households, the need for these public facilities is great. Often these households require access to free or affordable rate facilities that are in their neighborhoods, especially for children and senior citizens, whose mobility is limite d. The FY2025‐2029 Consolidated Plan Community Needs Survey ranked community facilities for youths/teens the highest, in addition to a high priority for Child Care Centers, Senior Centers, and Homeless Facilities . Parks and Recreational Facilities got the highest count of responses, though most responses ranked it as a moderate priority. Graph 1 illustrates the responses for public facility needs from the survey. In addition to the FY2025‐2029 Consolidated Plan Community Needs Survey, staff also consulted 293

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 52
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
with the City facilities staff and community services staff to determine where needs existed at current public facilities.

How were these needs determined?
The City distributed the FY2025‐2029 Consolidated Plan Community Needs Survey between September 2024 through February 2025. The survey provided an opportunity for residents to communicate their opinions and comments on housing, public facilities, public improvements, public services, and economic development needs. The survey was provided in three different forms. 1) P aper Copy – residents filled this out by hand and submitted to the City of Ontario Housing Services D epartment. 2) O nline Survey – residents could take the survey online by scanning a QR Code or accessing the online link. The QR code was displayed on flyers, social media, and the City’s website. 3) Interactive Boards – staff members guided residents through an interactive version of the survey during tabling at community events, community centers, and various City facilities and events. During this exercise, residents listed their priorities for areas of improvement. The ranking questions were sorted and high and low priorities were established.

In addition to the survey tool, City staff were consulted regarding needs at public facilities.

Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements:

The City shares the responsibility for providing infrastructure services with several public agencies. The following list indicates which agencies provide services to eligible census tracts located with the City:
• City of Ontario Engineering Department (streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and local storm drains)
• San Bernardino County Flood Control District (regional flood control facilities) • Ontario Municipal Utilities Company (local sewage collection, domestic water service) • Chino Basin Municipal Water District (regional sewage collection and treatment) • City of Ontario Solid Waste Department (collection of single-family residential refuse and recyclable materials, and collection of all other refuse and recyclable materials).

The FY2025‐2029 Consolidated Plan Community Needs Survey respondents rated neighborhood improvements that benefit low- and moderate-income areas, such as street improvements, tree planting, stormwater/drainage, and street lighting the highest of the public improvement categories. Graph 2 illustrates the scores for the public infrastructure needs on the survey. Street improvements ranked the highest, followed by cleanup of c ontaminated sites and l ighting improvements.

In addition to the FY2025‐2029 Consolidated Plan Community Needs Survey, staff also consulted with the City engineering and community services staff to determine where needs exist with the public infrastructure systems.

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:

The City is committed to ensuring the provision of the widest range of housing choices for the varied lifestyles of its residents and future workforce. By encouraging an adequate supply and diversity of housing, the City will accommodate its changing housing needs, support economic prosperity, foster an inclusive community, and become the urban center of the Inland Empire.

The Ontario Plan, provides the following principles related to housing:
• A range of housing for all income levels is essential to a complete community; • The City’s housing stock should match the type and price needed by current and future residents and workforce, including those with special needs; • Preserving, maintaining, improving and creating distinct neighborhoods and the housing stock protects property values and provides a desirable place to live; and • Affordable, quality housing helps attract and retain a qualified workforce and supports a prosperous local economy.

For the purposes of this plan, affordable housing will be defined based on Section 215 of the National Affordable Housing Act:
• Rental Housing is considered affordable if:

1. The unit bear s rent not greater than the existing fair market rent as established by HUD or rent that does not exceed 30 percent of the adjusted income of a family whose income equals 65 percent of the median income for the area as determined by HUD and adjusted for the number of bedrooms in the unit; and

2. The unit is occupied only by households that qualify as low-income families. • Owner-occupied Housing is considered affordable if:

1. The unit has an initial purchase price that does not exceed 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area as determined by HUD; and

2. The unit is the principal residence of an owner whose family qualifies as a low-income family.

Based on the data analyzed in the market analysis, the City formulated different levels of need for three income levels: low -income households, very low- income households, and extremely low-income households. These need levels will form the basis for the City’s Five -Year Strategic Plan.
• Low-income households earn between 50 and 80 percent of the area median income. • Very low-income households earn between 30 and 50 percent of the area median income. • Extremely low-income households earn less than 30 percent of the area median income. 300

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 59
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
In addition to the private housing market, the City examined the inventory of public and assisted housing to determine the level of need for the following types of housing and services:
• Homeless Facilities and Services including : Homelessness Prevention, Emergency Housing, Transitional Housing, Permanent Supportive Housing, and Supportive Services. • Supportive Housing including : Elderly, Persons with Disabilities, Persons suffering from Substance Abuse, and Persons living with HIV/AIDS.
• Public Housing and Subsidized Housing including : Low Income Housing Tax Credit Units, Public Housing developments and Housing Choice Vouchers , HUD multi -family developments, and locally funded housing.

units are one-bedroom units. Just 2.99% of total housing units, or 1,549, units are considered to be efficiency units.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs.

The Housing Services Department currently monitors a total of 1,989 housing units that have been assisted with federal, state, and local programs to ensure ongoing housing affordability and compliance with Owner Participation Agreements and/or Regulatory Agreements. Of these units,

2.71% (54 units) are reserved for extremely low-income tenants, those with incomes at or below 30% of area median income. A total of 559 units, or 28.10%, are reserved for low-income tenants, those with incomes at or below 50% of area median income, and 30.12%, or 599 units, are reserved for moderate -income tenants, those with incomes at or below 80% of area median income. Units restricted for senior citizens make up 39.32 % of the total restricted units, or 782 units.

Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.

Due to expiring covenants for bond-funded properties, a total of 130 units (18 units restricted for very low-income households (50% AMI) and 112 units restricted for low- income tenants (80% AMI)) are expected to be lost between May 2025 and August 2026.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Despite the data available from the American Community Survey and other sources, the ever - changing needs, wants, and circumstances of individuals constituting the family unit makes it impractical to prescribe a formula to determine the exact number of households in need of assistance. Some may need a rental subsidy while others need a larger unit. Unmet needs for the purpose of this assessment were estimated by calculating the number of households that spend more than 30 percent of their gross monthly income on housing expenses. These households are termed cost burdened. It is important to note that the City does not intend to help only households experiencing a cost burden.

Describe the need for specific types of housing:

Affordable housing for residents continues to be a great need within the City of Ontario.

According to 2017-2021 ACS CHAS data, 40.51% (20,690) of households in Ontario are low - income (80% AMI or below) . In addition, 42.67% of Ontario’s households are considered cost burdened. It’s estimated that roughly 46.83% of low-income households are considered severely cost burdened.

The increasing need for affordable rental units remains a great need within the community. In addition, homeowners will continue to have trouble remaining in their homes as cost burden continues to increase. 2017-2021 CHAS data also show s that nearly 20% of Ontario’s homeowners are cost burdened.

According to the Table S1810 American Community Survey 2023 5-Year Estimates, 1 6,821 persons, or 9.46% of the total population, within Ontario are living with a disability. Of the 15,497 adults living with a disability, 52.15% report living with an ambulatory difficulty, 2 2.05% report 302

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 61
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
living with a self -care difficulty, and 3 9.41% report living with an independent living difficulty.

These residents would be more likely to need housing designed for special needs populations.

Discussion
The population in Ontario continues to grow. Ontario has developed in the last five years the Ontario Ranch which is currently about one-third complete and is expected to provide more than 47,000 additional housing units to the c ity. The City continues to seek out any available funding to provide affordable housing to all populations and a variety of income levels. Ontario has developed Emporia Place I , Emporia Place II , and Vista Verde affordable housing developments over the last five years. The Ontario Housing Authority has acquired four parcels in addition to a parcel already owned to assemble a 5.5-acre site for proposed affordable housing development.

The Ontario Housing Authority has entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement for a 144-unit affordable housing development on this site with National Community Renaissance for this site and is currently applying for financing to support the project. The Ontario Housing Authority is also working on two other sites and negotiating with developers for additional affordable housing for those sites to be developed in the next five years.

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction
Affordable housing is an important priority for Ontario’s high -cost housing market. Additional resources are needed to help reduce the cost of owning or renting a home. As housing prices and interest rates have experienced a rapid increase in the past 5 years throughout the nation, homeownership is increasingly out of reach for the average Ontario resident. Affordable housing is a priority that has been the focus of substantial collaborative efforts. The loss of redevelopment in California has left a gap in the funding opportunities available for affordable housing. As such, additional resources are needed to help reduce the cost of owning or renting a home. A significant portion of homeowners and renters in Ontario are cost -burdened, paying increasing percentages of their incomes and rent and mortgages.

The 2071-2021 CHAS data reveals that 47.40% of renters and 19.02% of owners in Ontario spent more than 30% of gross household income on housing. This number has rapidly increased in the past 5 years and puts these residents at high risk for homelessness and other economic crises. In comparison the 2011-2015 CHAS data reflected that 21.26% of renters and 11.13% of owners in Ontario spent more than 30% of gross household income on housing. According to the Table DP04 American Community Survey 2023 1-Year Estimates, the median gross rent in Ontario is $1,937 and 56.06% of renter-occupied households spend more than 30% of their monthly income on housing.

According to Table DP04 American Community Survey 2023 1-Year Estimates, the median monthly cost of owning a home in Ontario is $ 2,497 which is an increase of 22.82% in 5 years.

This survey also shows 41.65% of households that own their own home pay more than 30% of their monthly income on housing costs. According to Zillow, in January 2025 the median sold price of existing single-family homes in Ontario was $454,353, a 32.05% increase from the 2020 median home sales price.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? Affordable housing for all income levels has not yet been achieved. Households paying a high percentage of their income for rent often have trouble paying for other basic needs such as food, clothing, utilities, medical, and additional expenses.

How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
As the housing market improves owners may be less willing to rent single -family homes at an affordable rate. In addition, as the market improves and the median sales price of homes increases, fewer residents will be able to afford to purchase a home resulting in a larger demand for rental housing. This increased demand, may result in higher rents making it even more difficult for households to find affordable housing.

How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? According to Zillow.com, the area median rent for a two-bedroom apartment unit is $2,300 which is 14.42% above the fair market rent and 40.89% above the high HOME rent limit for the same size unit. According to the National Low -Income Housing Coalition’s Two -Bedroom Wage Calculator (
https://nlihc.org/oor/zip?code=91762) a household would need to earn on average $89,190 per year to be able to afford the area median rent. The median household income in Ontario is $79,129. These statistics demonstrate a clear need for additional affordable housing units and the preservation of existing affordable housing.

Discussion
The need for affordable housing continues to grow. A significant number of households within Ontario experience a high housing cost burden given the existing average cost of housing in the city. The City places an emphasis on the goal of creating and retaining affordable housing opportunities for both renters and homeowners. The City seeks additional funding sources as available to leverage federal funds in the creation and retention of affordable housing.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
The condition of housing stock in Ontario is slowly aging with over 62.81% of all owner and renter- occupied homes over 40 years old. As the housing stock continues to age, without proper maintenance and rehabilitation, the percentage of units facing unsuitable conditions will continue to rise. This often occurs in areas of lower income where the funds needed to repair units are not available. Suitable and affordable living conditions are basic needs every resident of the City deserves, and home repairs can become costly to fix.

Approximately 50.07% of all occupied housing units in Ontario contain at least one of the four selected housing conditions. For the purposes of this section, selected conditions include lacks complete plumbing facilities, lacks complete kitchen facilities, more than one person per room, and cost burden greater than 30%. According to the 2017-2021 CHAS, very few occupied housing 305

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 64
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
units, 1.29% or 660 of total housing units lack complete plumbing facilities or lack complete kitchen facilities.

As shown in Table 34, over 56% of Ontario’s owner-occupied and 43% of renter-occupied housing units were constructed prior to 1980. Moreover, almost 13. 03% of renter -occupied housing units have children under 6 years of age present in the home while a smaller percentage of

11.18% of renter-occupied housing units have children under 6 years of age present in the home.

These homes would represent the risk posed by lead -based hazards within Ontario’s housing stock.

Definitions
Standard Condition: A standard unit would be a unit that meets state and local housing and building codes.

Substandard Condition: The City uses the State of California’s definition of blight as found in California Health and Safety Code Section 33031 and the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings Section 302.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
Based on the age of the majority of the housing stock in Ontario, it is expected that these units will need significant repair and rehabilitation to the roof, heating and air conditioning, and other key components. The Needs Assessment survey and activity ranked programs that provide assistance to low- and moderate-income homeowners for rehabilitation as a high need and rental property rehabilitation as a low need.

Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low - or Moderate-Income Families with LBP Hazards
Lead-based paint hazards consist of any condition that causes exposure to lead from lead-based paint dust, lead-based paint contaminated soil, or lead -contaminated paint that is deteriorated or present in accessible surfaces, friction surfaces, or impact surfaces that would result in adverse human health effects. Lead poisoning is one of the most common and preventable health hazards to American children today. Research indicates that even a low level of lead in a child’s blood can have harmful effects on physical and developmental health. Children are more susceptible to the effects of lead, because their growing bodies absorb more lead and young children often put their hands and other objects in their mouths. In addition, their brains and nervous systems are more sensitive to the damaging effects of lead.

Residents of any housing built before 1978 are considered to be at risk of exposure to some amount of lead -based paint. Older housing is more likely to have lead -based paint and the amount of lead pigment in the paint tends to increase with the age of the housing. As noted earlier, 54.35% of Ontario’s occupied housing stock was built prior to 1980, with just under 10% of these units built prior to 1950.

According to the 20 23 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates Table DP03 , 1 1.9% of Ontario’s families have incomes below the poverty level, which would equate to approximately 6,242 housing units. Of the total housing units, 5 2.22%, or 28,171 units, were built before 1980 presenting a potential lead hazard for low-income families. In addition, 9.1% of the families living below poverty have children under the age of five years old, resulting in potentially high risk for lead-based paint hazards. This analysis does not take into consideration that it is likely, that a larger population of low - and moderate -income households living in older units, which could increase this number.

Discussion
Given the aging nature of the majority of the housing stock within Ontario, it is necessary to evaluate the needs for programs related to assistance to make repairs for low -income homeowners and rehabilitation of existing rental units to increase the available supply of quality 307

MA-30 Homeless Facilities and Services – 91.210(c)
Introduction
In December of 2023 the City established the Housing Services Department under the Community Life and Culture Agency to provide a range of housing services and facilities that , among other populations, serve homeless individuals and families , and those at risk for homelessness .

Currently homeless services in Ontario include the following programs and services:
• Ontario Access Center – During FY 2023-24, the City terminated its contract with its non- profit partner and began to administer homeless services activities in -house while searching for a new operator of these services. The former Ontario Access Center located at 435 S. Bon View Ave. was closed during FY 2023-24 due to substantial structural issues.

A new location for an interim access center, along with emergency/interim housing units was identified. The City acquired a former motel at 1522 W. Mission Blvd. and is in the process of renovating the site to allow the facility to be converted to an interim site for the Ontario Wellness Center (OWC), which will provide services to meet basic needs and resources to those currently homeless along with emergency and interim housing . This site will provide amenities specifically designed to serve Ontario’s chronically homeless population. The OWC meets a critical need by providing one stop homeless service center within Ontario that provides emergency case management, distribution of tangible resources, showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities , along with short-term housing units. The focus of the O WC is to provide the services and resources necessary to successfully transition homeless persons into stable permanent housing. • Permanent Housing - The permanent affordable housing program consists of 85 units of affordable housing that offers optional housing stabilization services, provided by the City’s staff of social w orkers. Tenancy is ongoing provided the tenant adheres to lease requirements.

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 68
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
• Project Gateway – Project Gateway is a component of the permanent affordable housing program and consists of 12 project-based Permanent Supportive Housing vouchers used to house mentally ill homeless individuals and families in partnership with the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino and the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health.
• Tenant Based Rental Assistance – The City 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 deposi ts and provid ing optional housing stabilization services.
• HOME-ARP Rental Assistance Program – In August of 2023, the City established the
HOME-ARP Rental Assistance Program to mitigate potential homelessness and displacement of existing Ontario residents experiencing housing instability. Specifically, this program aims to assist Ontario residents at risk of homelessness by providing prospective and deferred rent payments. The program offers a comprehensive financial assistance package, which includes up to twelve months of support, of which up to six months can be used for rental arrears, with a maximum program limit of $30,000 per household. Eligible households receive this assistance to help stabilize their housing situation. Additionally, the program provides housing stabilization services aimed at facilitating long-term housing stability.
• City of Ontario Outreach Program – The City established the outreach team in December 2023. The main goal of the outreach team is to bring awareness of available services and resources to the community to address households who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Services provided by the outreach team include case management and advocacy for resources such as housing programs, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, employment services, food banks, public benefits, and medical programs. Additionally, the outreach team provides resources to meet immediate needs such as snack bags, bus passes, water, and hygiene kits. • Opioid Settlement - In 2021, nationwide settlements were reached to resolve all opioids litigation brought by states and local political subdivisions against three pharmaceutical distributors, McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen and against manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. These national settlements have been finalized, and payments began to be distributed in FY 2023-24. In all, the Distributors will pay up to $21 billion over 18 years, and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will pay up to an additional $5 billion. Since 2021, additional liti gants have been added and additional settlements have been reached and the City has signed on to re ceive additional funds from these settlements.
• Kaiser Permanente Healthy Communities Program - Kaiser Permanente has established the Community Health Grant Program to provide direct services to disadvantaged and/or underserved populations that address funding priorities identified in the Kaiser Permanente San Bernardino County Service Area Community Health Needs Assessment.

The grant supports the capacity of homeless service providers to serve individuals at risk of or experiencing homelessness. The City applied for and was awarded grant funding in 310

FY 2023- 24 and FY 2024-25 to provide resources to support h ealthy transportation, weather protection, healthy skincare, healthy nutrition, and documentation protection. • Extreme Weather Motel Voucher Program - In FY 2022- 23, the City established the Extreme Weather Motel Voucher Program to provide emergency shelter for high- risk individuals and/or families experiencing homelessness through motel vouchers, during periods of inclement weather.
• Aftercare Program - The aftercare program provides six months or more of housing stabilization services to graduates of the emergency and temporary shelter programs and those residing in permanent affordable housing. Participation in the program is voluntary and allows clients to select the services they wish to receive based on individual need.

As stated above, the City has operates the Housing Services Department , of which one component is the outreach program which identifies and connects homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness to available resources. In addition, the City is in the process of developing the Ontario Wellness Campus (OWC) that will serve as the interim location to provide basic needs and resources to homeless individuals and families along with emergency and temporary housing units. Th e OWC meets a critical need by providing one stop homeless service center within Ontario that provides emergency case management, distribution of tangible resources, showers, restrooms, lockers, and laundry facilities. The focus of the O WC is to provide the services necessary to successfully transition homeless persons into stable permanent housing. Many of these services by their nature are targeted to the chronically homeless. The Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program was specifically designed to serve only chronically homeless individuals and families. The City works in cooperation with the HACSB, and the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health to provide housing and mental health services to homeless veterans and their families.

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d) Introduction
The non-homeless special needs populations include the elderly and the frail elderly, persons with mental, physical, and/or developmental disabilities, persons with alcohol or other drug addiction, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and victims of d omestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. These non -homeless special needs populations are not inherently at-risk of becoming homeless. However, without supportive housing and services, they are at risk of remaining in poverty, and may ultimately face homelessness or institutionalization.

The City in cooperation with the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health, and the HACSB operates the Project Gateway Program which provides 1 2 Permanent Supportive Housing vouchers to house homeless individuals and families that also have a mental illness.

Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction m ay specify, and describe their supportive housing needs
Outside of general population data which shows there is 27.16% of the population that is 62 years of age and older in Ontario, there is little data on elderly persons and frail elderly persons within Ontario. These residents may need affordable housing, accessible housing, and home improvement programs to add accessibility improvements to their homes. In addition to those housing services, these residents may also need referrals for services available to seniors.

Mentally ill residents may also need affordable housing and would need a broader spectrum of supportive services than the general population. They may need counseling services, prescription assistance, health care assistance, substance abuse counseling, jo b referrals, and crisis intervention.

According to data provided from the 2022 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates, there are approximately 16,575 persons in the City with a disability which equates to 9.4% of the City’s total population. The instance of disabilities among seniors is significantly higher with 36.78% of the population aged 65 years and over living with some type of disability. These residents may 312

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 71
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
need affordable housing, accessible housing, and home improvement programs to add accessibility improvements to their homes. In addition, they may need fair housing counseling services and health care assistance.

Persons with alcohol or drug addictions may also need affordable housing or housing with supportive services. In addition, they may need counseling services, court services, health care assistance, and substance abuse intervention services.

The needs within Ontario for each of these populations are determined by the available demographics, including population data and data from existing public services and non- profit service providers. Collaboration with these agencies in the preparation of the City’s strategic plan assist in identifying programs that meet the needs based on the demand within the City.

Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
The City does not operate any programs designed specifically for those populations returning from mental and physical health institutions. The City in cooperation with the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health and the HACSB operate the Project Gateway program, which provides 12 Permanent Supportive Housing vouchers for homeless individuals and families with severe mental illness. Participants in the Project Gateway program are provided with a voucher for a permanent housing unit and supportive services to ensure that they are able to maintain stable housing.

Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Lin k to one -year goals.

91.315(e)
The City funds the Senior Support Services program with CDBG funds. This program is operated by Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB). IFHMB has provided application- based services to seniors in Ontario for the State of California’s Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) for 25 years. This program provides senior citizens with a rebate of up to $248 in utility rebates. While seniors could complete the applications themselves, the forms can be confusing and require that sensitive documentation be included in the application packe t. The Senior Program Coordinator ensures that only a ppropriate copies are submitted to the state; returns original documents and a copy of the application to the senior and mails the application from IFHMB’s office. Rebates are returned directly to the applicant. In the FY 2023-24, IFHMB helped 315 citizens in Ontario complete applications. During the course of working with seniors, IFHMB will also assist them with any complaints or information they may need during the workshop.

For entitlement/consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homele ss but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. (91.220(2))
The City works in partnership with service provider organizations to provide services to non- homeless special needs populations, including robust senior programs at Ontario Senior Center.

Services provided at the Ontario Senior Center include senior meal program, including meal delivery, Silver Stars senior transportation program, and a variety of resources to assist seniors 313

with meeting their daily needs. In addition, the City evaluates available funding opportunities for special needs housing on an ongoing basis.

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment As defined by the Consolidated Plan regulations, a barrier to affordable housing is a public policy, such as land use controls, property taxes, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limits, and other policies. To distinguish a barrier to affordable housing from an impediment to fair housing choice, is to think of a barrier as not unlawful necessarily (i.e., the lack of affordable housing stock, in and of itself, is a barrier to affordable housing).

Various factors may constrain or limit the City’s ability to address its housing production needs, such as governmental regulations or environmental considerations. Market factors, including a change in interest rates or construction costs, may affect the feasibility of building housing or the affordability of housing to the community. Moreover, housing goals may at times conflict with the need to promote other important City goals, including open space or economic development.

This section will analyze three potential constraints to the production, maintenance, and improvement of housing in Ontario:
• Market factors – including the demand for housing, development costs, availability of financing, the price of land, and other factors affecting supply, cost, and affordability of housing;
• Governmental factors – including land use regulations, residential development standards, building codes, local fees and taxes, permit procedures, and other local policies; and
• Environmental factors – including the adequacy of infrastructure, public services, and water supply to support new development within the older and newer portions of the community.

Market Factors
The feasibility of building new single -family and multi -family housing depends on a number of market factors: land costs, the availability or lack of infrastructure and services for the site, the cost of site improvements, construction costs, the availabil ity of financing, and the achievable sales price or rent structure. Fees charged for housing also play into the overall financial pro forma for new housing.

Land costs typically represent one of the largest components of the total cost of new housing.

Because the availability of land has dwindled over the past years, land costs have increased, as have housing prices. Land costs vary throughout the community an d depend on the underlying zoning for the site, whether infrastructure is needed, the surrounding area, and location.

Construction costs, which include labor and materials, are the largest component of housing. Like all costs components, the cost of constructing housing can vary significantly by project type (e.g., apartments, townhomes, or single -family homes), the quality of construction materials, the location of new housing, the number of stories of the project, whether underground or subsurface parking is required, labor costs, and profit margin. 314

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 73
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The cost and availability of financing can impact a household’s ability to purchase or home or to perform necessary maintenance and repairs. As prices for market -rate housing increase, the subsidies to bridge the amount a household can afford to pay, and the market price of the unit have become very high. As a result, substantial financial subsidies, often from multiple funding sources, are required to finance the construction of affordable housing. However, only a few affordable housing developers ca n assemble multiple funding sources and have experience in complying with the complex regulatory requirements governing the use of various funding programs.

Governmental Factors
The Land Use Element prescribes the allowable uses of land in Ontario. Land use categories are provided to guide the type of development, intensity or density of development, and the permitted uses of land. The City’s Development Code implements the General Plan by providing specific direction and development standards within each of the general land use categories.

Land use regulations often restrict density and limit housing types in locations that might otherwise be suitable for affordable housing.

The City charges a range of development fees and exactions to recover the costs of providing services to new development. Fees are designed to ensure that developers pay a fair pro rata share of the costs of providing infrastructure and compensate the City for processing the application. Generally, fees in Ontario range from $20,000 to $44,000 for a prototypical project.

Although development fees add to the cost of residential construction, they are not considered a constraint to the production of affordable housing. Government Code regulations require that fees do not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service. In addition, Ontario City Council adopted a resolution approving the reduction of development impact fees for projects covered by an Affordable Housing Agreement with the City.

Environmental Factors
Environmental and infrastructure issues affect the amount, location, and timing of new residential development. New housing opportunities create challenges regarding public infrastructure extensions and expansions, and encroachment into agricultural land. In addition, the availability of adequate water, public infrastructure such as wells and wastewater treatment facilities, and other public services and facilities can impact the feasibility of new residential development.

MA-45 Non-Housing Community Development Assets – 91.215 (f) Introduction
Consolidated Plan regulations require an assessment of community development needs, including those needs related to public facilities, public improvements, public services, and economic development. The Housing and Municipal Services Agency, as the lead e ntity for the Consolidated Plan, is committed to developing effective investment strategies to meet these needs using the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs. 315

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction?
According to Table 40 , the largest sector with the most job opportunities in Ontario is transportation and warehousing. Additional job opportunities exist in the manufacturing and retail trade job sectors. These three sectors account for 46.28% of the jobs in Ontario. Ontario is fortunate in its location as a transportation center. Three major arteries of Southern California’s freeway system, Interstate 10, I-15, and Route 60, intersect in Ontario providing strategic access to major transportat ion centers, including the Ports o f Los Angeles and Long Beach. Ontario is also served by two major railways including the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and Union Pacific Railway. Finally, Ontario International Airport, a mid-size commercial airport with service to major cities and a FedEx and UPS transportation hub. 317

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:

Like much of the nation, the local economy has recently experienced the negative impact of inflation and the increase of pricing in the housing market. Since 2020, the unemployment rate has increased, and as of January 2025, it was 4.6%, an increase from 3.5% as of December 2019.

The cost-of-living index in Ontario is 23% above the national average but is lower than many of the other large markets in the surrounding area. Ontario has more than 100 million square feet of industrial manufacturing and distribution space and given its strategic location, is the hub of industry in the Inland Empire.

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 a ny needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.

How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
The majority, 7 1.81%, of Ontario’s residents have achieved an education level equivalent to a high school diploma or higher. Since many of the major job sectors in Ontario are in low -skilled industries, the skills and education match very well to the largest employment oppor tunities in the jurisdiction. A large portion of Ontario’s population, 4 6.93% have had at least some college or have earned higher degrees, supporting growth in emerging markets such as education and health care services.

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

The City of Ontario Economic Development Agency continues to partner with the County of San Bernardino Workforce Development Department (WDD) to assist businesses with finding qualified candidates. The WDD attends monthly Business Services meetings and regularly meets with Agency staff and business partners. This partnership allows the Agency to connect federal and state grant funding with businesses in need of increased staff support. In addition, through the State of California’s Transformative Climate Communities grant that was awarded to the City, a dedicated WDD employee has been located at the Ovitt Family Community Library to provide workforce development services within Ontario.

As part of the Mayor and City Council’s commitment to a ‘Complete Community’, the Agency worked in conjunction with the West End Workforce Collaborative, which continues to provide education and training opportunities for Ontario students and employers. Th e Agency has also maintained its relationship with the County’s Alliance for Education in order to increase Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs in Ontario schools. The Online to College Program at Corona Elementary School in the Ontario -Montclair School District has continued in its fourth year and provides students with the opportunity to attend Chaffey College at no cost after completing the grades 5-12 program. This program has been expanded to cover all Ontario- Montclair School District schools, as well as Chaffey High School, through the Promise Scholars program. Promise Scholars has served over 7,000 students who took part in college tours, 318

business leader college/career presentations, FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) application events, and college application processes.

In addition, the City of Ontario has established a scholarship program for high school graduates residing in Ontario which provide s free tuition for up to two consecutive years at a California community college of the student’s choice for eligible students who do not already qualify for the California Community Colleges Board of Governors (BOG) Fee Waiver Program.

Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth.

The City does not have a CEDS.

Discussion
The City has not historically used the resources contemplated by this Consolidated Plan for economic development activities. However, Ontario has a proactive economic development agency that works diligently to attract and retain commercial and industrial partners in the City .

The primary goal of the Ontario Economic Development Agency is to create, maintain and grow the economic value of the City. The Agency provides services to the City’s residents and businesses, including the attraction of potential business and investment, new developm ent, adaptive reuse projects, the retention and expansion of current businesses, workforce development, tourism and public relations. This also results in job creation and a revitalized business climate.

In addition, Ontario has implemented a small commercial façade improvement program targeted in downtown Ontario since 2019 and has expanded this program since then. The City will continue to use this program as a model to expand to other targeted neighborhoods to provide exterior façade improvements.

The Agency promotes Ontario as the location of choice for doing business in Southern California by highlighting its strong fundamentals: a growing population; a diverse business community; a lower cost alternative to coastal markets; a highly trained and available workforce; lower housing costs; an efficient transportation system; the City’s proximity to the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach; and being home to the Ontario International Airport.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
Reviews of census data, U.C. Davis Center for Regional Change Regional Opportunity Index (ROI) data, and CalEnviro mapper data revealed no overly impacted areas when compared to other areas within Ontario. The majority of residential areas in Ontario demonstrate similar demographics and needs, with few exceptions.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") 319

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 78
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
To determine areas with a high concentration of low-income families, the overall percent of low- and moderate-income families for Ontario as a whole (52.16%) was evaluated against the percent of low - and moderate -income families for each census tract within Ontario. Data from the American Community S urvey 2018-2023 Low- and Moderate-Income Summary Data published by HUD was used to evaluate this data. The City has defined a concentration of low- income families to be any census tract where the percentage of low- and moderate-income families for a census tract that exceeds the proportion of the City as a whole by 10%. Eleven census tracts met this definition. A map showing these block groups can be found on page 77.

To determine areas with a high concentration of racial or ethnic minorities, the proportion of each racial or ethnic group for the population of Ontario as a whole was evaluated against the proportion of each racial or ethnic group for the population of each census tract within Ontario.

Data from Table B03002 from the 2023 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates was used to evaluate this data. The City has defined a concentration of a particular racial or ethnic group to exist where the proportion of a c ensus tract for that racial or ethnic group exceeds the proportion of the City as a whole by 10%. For example, the Hispanic/Latino population is 70.73% of Ontario’s population; a block group would be considered to have a high concentration of Hispanic/Latino population if the proportion of the Hispanic/Latino population in that block group exceeded 80.78% of the total population for that tract.

Hispanic/Latino residents account for 70.7 3% of Ontario’s population, Black/African American residents account for 6. 68% of Ontario’s population, and Asian residents account for 9.69% of Ontario’s population. A total of eight census tracts were identified as having a high concentration of Hispanic/Latino population, two census tracts were identified as having a high concentration of Asian population, and one census tract was identified as having a high concentra tion of Black/African American population. A map showing these census tracts can be found on page 78.

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? A summary of the housing problems in the census tracts that have been identified as having a high concentration of low -income families and minority populations can be found in the tables on the following page.

The evaluation of the market conditions of these neighborhoods included an analysis of the housing problems in these census tracts versus the city as a whole. Housing problems include the following items:
• Households experiencing a cost burden, those paying in excess of 30% of gross household income for housing expenses;
• Substandard housing conditions, units lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities; • Overcrowding, units one or more occupant per room; and • Severe overcrowding, units with 1.5 or more occupants per room.

A disproportionately higher incidence is identified when the percentage of households with a particular housing problem in a particular census tract exceeds the percentage of households with that same housing problem citywide by more than 10%. Five of the eleven census tracts that have a higher concentration of low- income families indicate disproportionately higher occurrences of housing problems.

Five of the eleven census tract s with concentrations of minority population indicate disproportionately higher incidences of housing problems. Three tracts , or 27.28%, indicate a higher rate of households experiencing a cost burden. Four tracts, or 36.37%, demonstrate a higher rate of overcrowding.

Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? As of 2025, there are seven community centers, and 35 parks located throughout Ontario. There are two public libraries – one located in the north part of Ontario and a branch library located in the south part of Ontario. In addition, there are a number of privately-owned parks and facilities available to residents in various locations throughout Ontario.

Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The City seeks opportunities to leverage federal, state, and local resources and to geographically locate projects and services to get the highest and best use from each public dollar spent. Since no areas were identified that had needs above other areas o f the city, resources will be focused strategically to gain benefits from available funding sources. The City will seek to identify projects that will transform neighborhoods into vibrant communities with reinvestment of resources and services in these areas. Funding sources identified at the time of publication of this plan include State of California Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program which focuses eligibility on sites that are near public transit resources. Another funding source available for the production of affordable housing is Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). The LIHTC offers higher scores for projects that are sited near specific amenities, which would lend to projects based along major corridors that have access to these resources. 322

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

The broadband issue for low - and moderate-income persons in Ontario is not availability but perhaps affordability. Ontario is a long -established community, and as such, availability of services such as broadband have been in place for a number of years. Persons living on fixed incomes or working low wage jobs may not be able to afford the monthly payment for broadband access. There are locations such as libraries and public facilities which do provide access, though it may not be the most convenient for users. However, in today ’s market the use of wireless internet through a smartphone has likely become the option of choice fo r most users including low- and moderate-income persons. Additionally, developers are required to include broadband wiring during construction from the project site to the public right- of-way and provide conduit for future fiberoptic installation by the City in the public right-of-way, if it does not already exist.

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

According to Broadbandnow.com Ontario currently has 22 internet providers. The average download speed in Ontario is 80 Mbps, which is just under the average speed in California (93Mbps). Monthly costs range from $ 40 to $129. Given these facts, Ontario appears to have sufficient competition to allow low - and moderate-income households to choose a broadband internet service provider.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.

In 2018, the City adopted a Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). The purpose of the HMP is to assess risk for potential hazards and demonstrate the plan for reducing and/or eliminating risk in the City. The HMP process developed goals and projects that will reduce risk and build a more disaster resilient community by analyzing potential hazards.

Ontario is located in Southern California and has a Mediterranean -like climate with moderate temperatures & low humidity year-round. The average median temperature is 83°F and average annual rainfall is 16.1 inches.

The HMP sites the 2009 Climate Adaptation Strategy’s (CAP) delineation of how climate change may impact and exacerbate natural hazards including wildfires, extreme heat, floods, drought, and levee failure within the desert region, which includes San Bernardino County and the City.

The CAP states that in the future climate change is expected to lead to increases in the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme heat events and heat waves in San Bernardino County and the rest of California, which are likely to increase the risk of mortality and morbidity due to heat - related illness and exacerbation of existing chronic health conditions. Those most at risk and vulnerable to climate-related illness are the elderly, individuals with chronic conditions such as heart and lung disease, di abetes, and mental illnesses, infants, the socially or economically disadvantaged, and those who work outdoors.
324

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 83
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
In addition, the CAP states c limate change will result in drastically reduced supply from the Colorado River and the State Water Project . Declining snowpack in the San Gabriel Mountains, San Gorgonio Mountains, and San Jacinto Mountains will lead to permanently diminished local water supply. Higher temperatures will melt the snowpack earlier and drive the snowline higher, resulting in less snowpack to supply water to California users. Droughts are likely to become more frequent and persistent in the 21st century. Intense rainfall events, periodically ones with larger than historical runoff, will continue to affect California with more frequent and/or more extensive flooding. Storms and snowmelt may coincide and produce higher winter runoff.

Together, these changes will increase the probability of dam and levee failures in the San Bernardino County Flood Control District.

Finally, the CAP states w armer weather, reduced snowpack, and earlier snowmelt can be expected to increase wildfire risk through fuel hazards and ignition risks. These changes can also increase plant moisture stress and insect populations, both of which affect forest health and reduce forest resilience to wildfires. An increase in wildfire intensity and extent will increase public safety risks, property damage, fire suppression and emergency response costs to government, watershed and water quality impacts, vegetation conversions and habitat fragmentation.

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

Any occurrence of a disaster whether caused by man, nature or climate change has devastating impacts on the people affected. The impact on vulnerable lower income populations may be even more devastating. A number of these households may not have insurance or sufficient insurance to cover an unexpected event such as a fire or flood. Households renting are likely more vulnerable than homeowners as there is a great possibility a renter does not have insurance to protect themselves. Even lower income homeowner can be affected as they may not have the means to afford insurance.

The City has adopted the 2014 Community Climate Action Plan with the goal to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions within Ontario. In addition, the City received a grant from the State of California Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) program the provides pedestrian pathway improvements, enhanced crosswalks, bike plans, public transportation enhancements, urban forestry, and solar programs all in an effort to reduce GHG and encourage alternate modes of transportation. The reduction of GHG will mitigate some of the impacts to the environment of climate change, especially for low- and moderate-income households.

SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
The Strategic Plan section of the Consolidated Plan summarizes Ontario’s five-year strategies and objectives to address the needs described earlier in the Consolidated Plan. To carry out each objective, the City has developed measurable actions that it will undertake each year. The City of Ontario 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan includes five Annual Action Plans. Each of these plans will describe the activities planned for the coming program year to carry out the five-year strategies.

Additionally, each Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) will report the City’s progress in carrying out the strategies, objectives, and actions.

SP-10 Geographic Priorities – 91.215 (a)(1)
Geographic Area
The City does not have any locally identified local target areas, Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas (NRSA), Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) defined service area, or Strategy Areas.

However, the City does work with local agencies, including CDFIs, and will evaluate strategic partnerships within these areas as opportunities arise. In addition, in June 2019, the City adopted a three -year Neighborhood Preservation Strategy (NPS) Plan that identified four target neighborhoods based on a number of economic, demographic, and environmental factors. The NPS also created the Neighborhood Action Team which is tasked with identifying opportunities and implementing strategies and programs to build community within these target neighborhoods. A subsequent plan was adopted in 2022 identifying an additional five target neighborhoods, and an additional update is currently being prepared for approval in 2025.

General Allocation Priorities
Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA)
The specific location of housing and community development projects is a crucial issue. It is important that projects designed to clear blighting conditions are conducted in areas that are actually blighted and that public service programs are provided at locations convenient to their clients. All HUD funded activities will be implemented in low - and moderate -income service areas, as defined by HUD, with the exception of some public service projects, which are intended to serve CDBG-eligible persons on a citywide basis.

The City has established as a high priority, the investment of CDBG funds into targeted neighborhoods to help the City eliminate slum and blight conditions and improve the living conditions of the residents.

In order for an area to be considered as deteriorated or deteriorating the following conditions shall be met:
327

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 86
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
• A significant number of the properties located within the area must contain visible code violations affecting the property values in the area (such as lack of or insufficient landscaping, deteriorated paint, accumulations of debris, evidence of deferred maintenance, etc.);
• Infrastructure conditions that require attention (such as lack of sidewalks or sidewalks in disrepair, streets in disrepair, lack of or unmaintained street trees, etc.); • May contain areas designated as targeted project areas; • At least three of the five identified factors contributing to deterioration available through Census data shall be met
• % of population below the poverty level ≥ 20%
• % of vacant structures ≥ 5%
• % of total occupied housing units that are overcrowded ≥ 20% • % of units lacking complete plumbing and/or kitchen facilities ≥ 1% • % of renter and/or owner-occupied units experiencing a cost burden ≥ 30% Area must demonstrate that both public or private improvements and/or services will occur within the area.

Narrative (Optional)
The Needs Assessment and Market Analysis, in concert with the qualitative data collected through surveys, meetings, and consultations highlight Ontario’s clear and detailed need for investment in affordable housing for both owner -occupied and renter -occupied households, public facilities and infrastructure, programs for homeless persons and to prevent homelessness, and public services to provide a range of programs to Ontario’s residents.

Assistance
(TBRA)
As per the Needs Assessment and the Market Analysis, CHAS 2017-2021 ACS data reflects that

47.40% of renter-occupied households are cost burdened paying more than 30% of their income towards housing costs and 28.35% of renter -occupied households are severely cost burdened paying more than 50% of their income towards housing costs. In addition, many residents lack the resources necessary to secure rental housing, including security deposits, utility deposits, and sufficient income to pay market-rate rents on an ongoing basis. According to point2homes.com, the median rent for all bedroom counts and property types in Ontario is $2,400, which is 31.44% higher than the national average of $1,748. Ontario’s rents have maintained a higher level than the national average over the last three years.

*Graph source: point2homes.com
This trend means a continuing divide between the ability of a low-income household to afford a rental unit within the C ity. A TBRA program can assist in provide additional affordable housing resources and providing an incentive for landlords to waive some common tenant screening requirements.

TBRA for
Non-
Homeless
Special Needs
Although populations identified as non-homeless special needs populations are a relatively small percentage of Ontario’s population, housing assistance would benefit these groups. As per the Needs Assessment, most of the non -homeless special needs populations, including the elderly, the mentally ill, and persons with disabilities, have a need for affordable housing with related supportive services to assist these populations in maintaining their housing. 339

Production
As per the Needs Assessment and the Market Analysis, 47.40% of renter -occupied households are cost burdened paying more than 30% of their income towards housing costs. In addition,

28.35% of renter-occupied households are severely cost burdened paying more than 50% of their income towards housing costs. In addition, the demand for existing affordable housing resources, including assisted housing units and housing vouchers, clearly demonstrates the needs for additional affordable housing units to be constructed.

Rehabilitation As per the Needs Assessment and the Market Analysis, a total of 19.02% of owner -occupied households are cost burdened paying more than 30% of their income towards housing costs, with 11.33% of these households paying more than 50% of their income towards housing costs.

The highest rates of cost burden incidences occurring in households earning between 50 and 80% AMI. This is reflective of the fact that many households find themselves overextended in order to achieve homeownership in Ontario’s market. Further, nearly 60% of Ontario’s owner-occupied housing stock was built prior to 1979.

Acquisition,
including
preservation
As noted above, just over 47% of all renter-occupied households are cost burdened paying more than 30% of their income towards housing costs, and there is high demand for existing affordable housing resources. In order to create new affordable housing units existing unrestricted unit s may need to be acquired. In addition, the high demand and need for affordable housing creates the need to preserve all existing affordable housing resources, if possible.

Table 50 - Anticipated Resources
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 all available funding opportunities to leverage federal funds in meeting the goals established by this Consolidated Plan. Potential funding sources that could be used to leverage federal funds include Low Income Housing Tax Credits, Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities funds, CalHome funds, State of California Permanent Local Housing Allocation, and local in-lieu fees for the development of affordable housing. HOME funds require a 25% match for each dollar spent. Ontario has bee n designated as a distressed community and receives a 50% HOME match reduction for FY 2023-24. HOME match will be provided from available match on hand and from non-federal funding sources used for housing projects. Ontario expects to continue to receive a 50% HOME match reduction as a distressed community. ESG funds require a dollar-for-dollar match for each dollar spent. Ontario utiliz es its General Fund dollars supporting homeless services efforts as ESG match. 341

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) The City works in close partnership with a number of agencies, including non -profit service providers, the HACSB, and the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health to deliver a wide range of services to various populations of homeless individuals and families. The services are provided to chronically homeless individuals and families, homeless families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. Services include supportive services such as job training, referrals for employment, healthcare clinics, life skills classes, referrals for educational services, counseling for substance abuse and mental illness, direct assistance for motel vouchers, bus passes, and meal vouchers, legal aid, both project based and tenant based rental assistance programs, and street outreach by n on-profit agencies and law enforcement to provide appropriate referrals to homeless individuals and families who may not be accessing services.

The City has established a homeless services outreach team with the main goal of bringing awareness of available services and resources to the community and to address households who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Services provided by the outreach team include case management and advocacy for resources such as housing programs, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, employment services, food banks, public benefits, and medical programs. Additionally, the outreach team provides resources to meet immediate needs such as snack bags, bus passes, water, and hygiene kits.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
As defined by the Consolidated Plan regulations, a barrier to affordable housing is a public policy, such as land use controls, property taxes, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limits, and other policies. To distinguish a barrier to affordable housing from an impediment to fair housing choice, is to think of a barrier as not unlawful necessarily (i.e., the lack of affordable housing stock, in and of itself, is a barrier to affordable housing).

Various factors may constrain or limit the City’s ability to address its housing production needs, such as governmental regulations or environmental considerations. Market factors, including a change in interest rates or construction costs, may affect the feasibility of building housing or the affordability of housing to the community. Moreover, housing goals may at times conflict with the need to promote other important City goals, including open space or economic development.

This section will analyze three potential constraints to the production, maintenance, and improvement of housing in Ontario:
349

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 108
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
• Market factors – including the demand for housing, development costs, availability of financing, the price of land, and other factors affecting supply, cost, and affordability of housing;
• Governmental factors – including land use regulations, residential development standards, building codes, local fees and taxes, permit procedures, and other local policies; and
• Environmental factors – including the adequacy of infrastructure, public services, and water supply to support new development within the older and newer portions of the community.

Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing Although the City does not have control over a number of factors that present barriers to affordable housing, the City does implement many programs to help facilitate the construction of affordable housing and assist renters and homeowners.

The City implements various housing programs to reduce or modify development standards that add costs to constructing affordable housing. These may include modification of parking, open space, and other standards through administrative exceptions. Moreover , considerable fee reductions are offered in return for affordability agreements. Finally, developers of affordable housing are also able to secure density bonuses that work to increase the cash flow of a project and indirectly mitigate the cost of construction, land costs, and financing constraints.

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
In May 2005, the City approved the Continuum of Care to address identified gaps in the delivery of homeless services. During FY 2023-24, the City acquired a former motel to create a site for an interim access center along with emergency and interim housing units. In addition, the City has identified additional sites adjacent to the former motel for acquisition to create the Ontario Wellness Campus (OWC). The OWC will contain a large access center with medical and mental health facilities along with a 50-bed emergency shelter and temporary housing units. The OWC is expected to be completed during calendar year 2028.

The Housing Services Department’s outreach team works to reach out to individuals and families in Ontario who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Services provided by the outreach team include case management and advocacy for resources such as housing programs, mental heal services, substance abuse treatment, employment services, food banks, public benefits, and medical programs.

In addition, the City works in partnership with the San Bernardino County Office of Homeless Services to provide a coordinated assessment approach throughout the county. This approach allows homeless individuals and families to be connected with appropriat e services throughout the county based on their needs as identified by a street outreach team. 350

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 109
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City implements an Extreme Weather Motel Voucher program to provide emergency shelter to eligible homeless households during inclement weather . E mergency vouchers are also available through multiple sources in the City to provide emergency shelter depending on need.

Additionally, the City was successful in receiving HHAP-3 funding from the County of San Bernardino and establi shed the HH AP-3 Rapid Re -Housing (HRRH) program. HRRH provides security deposit assistance , landlord inc entives, and up to 12 months of rental assistance to rapidly re-house low-income households that have become homeless within the last 12 months in the West Valley of San Bernardino County. Housing stabilization services will also be provided to program participants.

Finally, the City has implemented a HOME Tenant- Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program targeted at chronically homeless individuals and families that also serves to rapidly re -house these households and initially provide s up to 12 months of rental assistance to allow these families to remain stably housed while receiving needed housing stabilization services.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the peri od of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.

The affordable permanent housing program consists of 85 units of affordable housing that offers optional aftercare supportive services. Tenancy is ongoing provided the tenant adheres to polices outlined in the tenant lease. In addition, the City has worked in cooperation with Mercy House Living Centers, the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health, and the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino to develop Project Gateway which provides up to 12 units of Permanent Supportive Housing within the inventory of the 76 permanent housing units.

These units are available to mentally ill, chronically homeless individuals with supportive housing services.

In addition, as noted above, the City has implemented a HOME Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program targeted to providing permanent housing through a 12 -month voucher to chronically homeless individuals and families and the HRRH program providing 12 months of rental assistance to rapidly re-house homeless households.

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
The City works with a variety of non -profit service providers that provide a range of services for extremely low-, very low- and low-income households to help these households maintain their housing and prevent them from becoming homeless. These programs p rovide a variety of 351

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 110
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
household goods, such as laundry detergent, diapers, hygiene products, groceries, school supplies, etc., to help defray household costs to allow funds that may have been used to purchase these household items to be used for housing expenses. In addition, the City works in cooperation with the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health and the HACSB to provide Permanent Supportive Housing vouchers to disabled households, which may include those being discharged from a publicly funded institution.

Finally, the City has implemented three rental assistance programs that are aimed at aiding households at risk of homelessness including: An ESG Eviction Prevention (EEP) program, HOME- ARP Rent Program (HA RP), and Measure Q Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program. The City’s EEP program provides up to three months of rental assistance for eligible extremely low - income households (30% AMI or below) who are at risk of homelessness. HOME -ARP provides up to 12 months of rental assistance for low -income households (80% AMI or below) and connects residents to housing stabilization services. ERA provides up to three months of rental assistance for moderate-income (120% AMI or below) households who have experienced a financial hardship that has impacted their ability to pay rent.

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards The City undertakes a range of activities to address the problem of lead -based paint in housing, including outreach, assessment, and abatement. The City conducts housing inspections to determine if various types of housing are safe, sanitary, and fit for habitation.

In addition, the City works in cooperation with the San Bernardino County Department of Child and Family Health Services that implements the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP). The mission of the program is to eliminate childhood lead pois oning by educating the public, identifying and caring for lead burdened children, and preventing environmental exposures to lead.

When the City uses federal funds to perform rehabilitation work on a property, an assessment for lead-based paint hazards will be conducted. Appropriate action is taken to address the lead - based paint hazards based upon the level of investment.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? As indicated in the Market Analysis section, just over 60 % of the City’s owner-occupied housing units were constructed prior to 1979 and have a potentially high er risk for lead -based paint hazards. Given this high percentage of City will focus its efforts on continuing to assess any property being rehabilitated with federal funds for lead-based paint hazards.

How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The City uses the table below to ensure compliance with HUD’s Consolidated Lead- Based Paint Regulations.

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families The City’s goal is to help families that are self -sufficient yet still at-risk to increase their financial stability. The focus of the anti-poverty strategy is three-fold: (1) to help these families accumulate assets, (2) to help these families address issues, such as substance abuse and domestic violence that may threaten the family’s stability, and (3) to provide these families with employment - related supportive services such as child-care. This focus will be incorporated into the programs and policies undertaken by the City as part of this Consolidated Plan.

How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan
The City is considering a variety of programs to be implemented over the course of this five-year plan. Activities will be described in detail in each Annual Action Plan. Potential programs may include:

1. Affordable Housing: support the preservation, rehabilitation, and development of suitable, extremely low-income housing units.

2. Family Stability: provide counseling services, substance abuse services, and domestic violence prevention services.

3. Employment Related Supportive Services: provide job training and child care programs.

The City will comply with Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act. Section 3 helps foster local economic development, neighborhood economic improvement, and individual self-sufficiency. This set of regulations require s that to the greatest extent feasible, the City will provide job training, employment, and contracting opportunities for low - and very low-income residents in connection with housing and public construction projects.

Firms that accept City contracts for public services that are implemented using federal funds are encouraged to adopt affirmative hiring policy that gives local area hiring preferences.

SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230
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 354

Consolidated Plan ONTARIO 113
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
As the lead agency for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs, the Housing Services Department (HSD) is continuously refining monitoring procedures to ensure that all projects have measurable outcomes. This refinement also allows assessment of progress toward the specified goals and objectives of the projects, as well as ensuring long -term compliance with all applicable program regulations and statutes. HSD understands that monitoring the Consolidated Plan and the annual activities must be carried out regularly to ensure that statutory and regulatory requirements are met and that, where appropriate, information submitted to HUD is correct and complete.

To ensure that the City’s CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs further Consolidated Plan goals, HSD incorporates the Consolidated Plan’s strategies, objectives, and activities into its work plan. HSD will measure its achievement of Consolidated Plan goals by the same standards used to evaluate all programs and activities. HSD will continue to analyze operations and controls to determine whether risks are being identified and reduced, acceptable policies and procedures are being followed, established standards are being met, resources are used efficiently and economically, and that objects are achieved.

HSD prepares documentation and reports as required by HUD, including the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). Using a substantial citizen participation and consultation process, the CAPER describes each year’s performance regarding Consolidated Plan strategies, objectives, actions, and projects.

As a condition of receiving HOME funds, recipients agree to maintain all HOME -assisted units as affordable housing and in compliance with local housing standards. A site visit is made to each development and multifamily rehabilitation project in order to c onduct mandatory tenant file reviews and physical inspections.

Monitoring standards for HOME-assisted projects will be as follows:
• For projects where funds were committed prior to the publication of the 2013 HOME Final Rule on July 24, 2013, inspections and tenant file reviews will be conducted for the greater of 10 units or 10 percent of the total development units. • For projects where funds were committed after the publication of the 2013 HOME Final Rule on July 24, 2013:projects with more than four HOME-assisted units, inspections and tenant file reviews will be conducted for at least 20 percent of the HOME -assisted units and at least one unit in every building; and projects with four or fewer HOME -assisted units, all the HOME-assisted units will be inspected and all tenant files will be reviewed.

All sampling is performed randomly. Tenant file reviews consist of evaluating documentation for eligibility and conformance to the affordability agreement. 355

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, Trans formative 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 5-26. 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 expects to use General Fund dollars used to support homeless services as match.

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.

IFHMB also investigates whether there are systemic elements in policies and procedures that compound the reported violations. These instances provide IFHMB the opportunity to educate landlords on their own rights and responsibilities, preventing future fair housing violations for renters and assisting renters in resolving their housing issues.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low -income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
The specific location of housing and community development projects is a crucial issue. While the City does not have any locally identified local target areas, it is important that projects designed to clear blighting conditions are conducted in areas that are actually blighted, and that public service programs are provided at locations convenient to their clients. All HUD funded activities will be implemented in low- and moderate-income service areas, as defined by HUD (which are shown on the map included in Appendix B), with the exception of some public service projects, which are intended to serve CDBG - eligible persons on a citywide basis.

The City has established as a high priority, the investment of CDBG funds into targeted neighborhoods to help the City eliminate slum and blight conditions and improve the living conditions of the residents.

In order for an area to be considered as deteriorated or deteriorating the following conditions shall be met:
• A significant number of the properties located within the area must contain visible code violations affecting the property values in the area (such as lack of or insufficient landscaping, deteriorated paint, accumulations of debris, evidence of deferred maintenance, etc.); • Infrastructure conditions that require attention (such as lack of sidewalks or sidewalks in disrepair, streets in disrepair, lack of or unmaintained street trees, etc.); • May contain areas designated as targeted project areas; • At least three of the five identified factors contributing to deterioration available through Census data shall be met
o % of population below the poverty level ≥ 20%
o % of vacant structures ≥ 5%
o % of total occupied housing units that are overcrowded ≥ 20% o % of units lacking complete plumbing and/or kitchen facilities ≥ 1% o % of renter and/or owner occupied units experiencing a cost burden ≥ 30% Area must demonstrate that both public or private improvements and/or services will occur within the area.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City has reviewed proposed projects and designed a program to arrest the decline in qualified areas.

This approach includes targeting several projects to a specific area to have the biggest impact on that neighborhood. By allocating CDBG funds geographically, the City is able to change the overall conditions within targeted areas and leverage the use of CDBG funds with other resources. 385

Discussion
It is anticipated that some participants assisted through the TBRA Program and ESG Eviction Prevention (EEP) Program may qualify as special needs (elderly or disabled) households, however, without specific information the goal for special needs populations is estimated to be zero.

Introduction
The City will continue to support the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino ( HACSB) Five- Year Goals/Accomplishments.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing Public housing programs in Ontario are conducted through an agreement with the HACSB. The HACSB manages approximately 876 Housing Choice Vouchers within Ontario. During FY 202 5-26, the City of Ontario Housing Services Department will continue to monitor affordable housing units at risk for conversion to market rate. Accordingly, it is the objective of the City that all assisted housing units that are eligible for conversion to non-low-income housing should be preserved. In addition, the HACSB will continue to administer the Family Self -Sufficiency Program within the City during FY 202 5-26. In this program, residents sign a five -year contract with the HACSB. As incomes rise with new employment, 386

Annual Action Plan ONTARIO 2025 145
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
savings accounts are established. After five years, the savings account is available to the household to pay for costs associated with independent living.

The City of Ontario worked in collaboration with HACSB and the Ontario Housing Authority to secure Permanent Supportive Housing (P SH) funding. Twelve (12) P SH vouchers have been awarded to assist qualified households through an application referred to as “Project Gateway.” As stated earlier, the City and the Ontario Housing Authority are actively pursuing additional opportunities to secure project based vouchers to assist in neighborhood revitalization strategies that also support Ontario’s Continuum of Care for the homeless.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The City works closely with the HACSB and will provide marketing information when homeownership programs are available for the HACSB to distribute to appropriate public housing residents. In addition, HACSB has one of the most successful Public Housing Age ncy Homeownership programs on the west coast and continues to promote and progress this very successful program.

If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
The public housing authority is considered a high performer.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City supports a variety of activities to address the needs of homeless persons and the special needs of persons that are not homeless but require supportive housing and special assistance. As part of the One-Year Action Plan, the City will support several programs and projects conducted by non-profit social service providers. Each of these activities was specifically selected for funding through CDBG and ESG programs to address each step along the Continuum of Care. The City sought proposals and applications from a variety of homeless and social service providers prior to allocating CDBG and ESG resources.

This region is fortunate to have a number of organizations, which serve both the general homeless population and specific special segments within the homeless community. In developing the funding allocation, the City supported a diverse selection of provid ers and cultivated cooperation among those groups in the delivery of their services.

During FY 2005-06, the City began implementing a new Continuum of Care program in coordination with local partners to assist homeless individuals and families transition from homelessness to permanent housing. The Continuum provides a comprehensive homeless strategy to assist homeless individuals and families to become self -sufficient. The programs within the Continuum include the following services:
permanent housing units, case management services, and referrals to applicable resources. 387

Annual Action Plan ONTARIO 2025 146
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
The City worked in collaboration with HACSB and the Ontario Housing Authority to secure Permanent Supportive Housing ( PSH) funding. Twelve (12) P SH vouchers have been awarded to assist qualified households through an application referred to as “Project Gateway.” The City established its homeless services o utreach team in December 2023. The main goal of the outreach team is to bring awareness of available services and resources to the community to address households who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Services provided by the outreach team include case management and advocacy for resources such as housing programs, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, employment services, food banks, public benefits, and medical programs.

Additionally, the outreach team provides resources to meet immediate needs such as snack bags, bus passes, water, and hygiene kits.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the peri od of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The multi-family housing program, Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program, HHAP-3 Rapid Re-Housing Program, and the Housing Choice Voucher program (administered by the HACSB) provide rental housing 388

Annual Action Plan ONTARIO 2025 147
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
vouchers and affordable housing units. In addition, the City works with other agency partners that offer downpayment assistance homeownership programs for low- and moderate-income families.

The City’s Continuum of Care provides permanent affordable housing units with housing stabilization services to assist formerly homeless individuals and families retain permanent housing. In addition, twelve Shelter Plus Care vouchers are available for use at Continuum of Care properties.

Through the actions the City has described, the City’s one year goal for helping homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent living is 20 persons.

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.

Several programs, including the Family Stabilization Program at SOVA Program Center and House of Ruth, provide referral services, counseling, case management, and household goods to families at -risk of homelessness, especially those living in poverty or wi th extremely low incomes. The City works in partnership with the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health, Social Services Department, and Parole and Probation Department to provide referrals and resources to these agencies to assist individua ls who are being discharged from mental health facilities, health care facilities, and other institutions.

The City’s Measure Q Emergency Rental Assistance, HOME -American Rescue Plan Rent Program, and ESG Eviction Prevention Program provide rental assistance to Ontario residents who are at risk of homelessness through eviction.

Through the actions the City has described, the City’s one year goal for helping low- income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless is 3,000 persons.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
In addition to the housing activities already discussed in the One -Year Action Plan, the City will address key fair housing recommendations and objectives identified in the Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH).

The AFH addresses five specific target groups, tenants and property purchasers, property owners and managers, realtors, lenders and local government. Recommendations, actions, and a time period for completion will be completed for each target group.

Actions it planned 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 389

Annual Action Plan ONTARIO 2025 148
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Although the City does not have control over a number of factors that present barriers to affordable housing, the City does implement many programs to help facilitate the construction of affordable housing and assist renters and homeowners.

The City implements various housing programs to reduce or modify development standards that add costs to constructing affordable housing. These may include modification of parking, open space, and other standards through administrative exceptions. Moreover , considerable fee reductions are offered in return for affordability agreements. Finally, developers of affordable housing are also able to secure density bonuses that work to increase the cash flow of a project and indirectly mitigate the cost of construction, land costs, and financing constraints.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacle for the City in meeting underserved needs is the lack of adequate financial resources to meet the growing needs of low- and moderate-income persons, including the homeless population. As such, the City will continue to seek opportunities to obtain additional funding from other resources to leverage the use of HUD funds. The City monitors funding availa ble from the State of California and other regional governmental entities to support the construction of affordable housing.

In addition, the City utilizes other resources to fund public infrastructure , public facilities, and parks to enhance services provided to Ontario residents.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City continues to monitor affordable housing units within Ontario to ensure ongoing affordability.

In addition, the City has identified the following programs and actions to foster and maintain affordable housing:
• Tenant-Based Rental Assistance, which provides rental assistance to families experiencing homelessness.
• HHAP-3 Rapid Re -Housing program, which provides rental assistance to families experiencing homelessness in Ontario and surrounding areas.
• The HOME-American Rescue Plan Rent Program (HARP) provides rental assistance to households at risk of homelessness due to eviction.
• Measure Q Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program assists households who have experienced recent financial hardship, putting them at risk of homelessness. • ESG Eviction Prevention (EEP) program assists extremely low-income households who are at risk of homelessness.
• Research and pursuit of funding opportunities to add affordable housing units to City inventory.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City will continue to implement the HUD regulations concerning lead- based paint testing and abatement. Currently, City staff informs residents of activities in any housing rehabilitation program about lead-based paint hazards. This policy applies regardless of whether there are children present in the households. Furthermore, all rehabilitation projects are administered in compliance with HUD regulations concerning lead-based paint testing and abatement.

Most of Ontario’s housing stock was constructed prior to the 1978 ban on lead- based paint. Therefore, most units potentially contain lead-based paint. The City will continue to identify specific neighborhoods and households, which may contain lead-based paint hazards.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City has included an Anti -Poverty Strategy within the Five -Year Consolidated Plan. This strategy utilizes existing City job training and social service programs to increase employment marketability, household income, and housing options. Below are the goals for reducing the number of poverty -level families within the City. The City will continue to:
- Support the preservation, rehabilitation, and development of suitable, extremely low- income housing units;
- Provide home repair assistance to households that are low - and moderate-income households; and
- Fund job training and educational programs to increase a person’s potential income.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City does not anticipate any gaps in the delivery of service based on the institutional structure of the City government, departments, or agencies. The Housing Services Department participates in a number of coalitions and collaborations to enhance coo rdination between the public and private housing and social service agencies providing services to Ontario residents. These coalitions include but are not limited to the following: County of San Bernardino Homeless Coalition, Inter -Agency Council on Homeless, and the HMIS Policy Advisory Board, and Housing Policy Advisory Committee.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The Housing Services Department consulted with other key City departments in developing this One - Year Action Plan. These departments included: City Manager’s Office, Economic Development Department, Planning Department, Public Works Agency, Recreation Department, Police Department, Fire Department, and Community Improvement Department. City staff also consulted with the following adjacent jurisdictions during the development of the One-Year Action Plan by providing them with a copy of the Draft One -Year Action Plan during the public review period: Upland, Chino, Rancho Cucamonga, 391

Annual Action Plan ONTARIO 2025 150
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Pomona, Fontana, and County of San Bernardino. Other key public and quasi-public agencies contacted in preparation of the plan included the County of San Bernardino Housing Authority, Upland Housing Authority, Ontario Housing Authority, and Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board.

City staff will continue to cooperate with other organizations in order to achieve housing and community development objectives. The following list identifies organizations that the City anticipates interacting with and, in some cases, providing funds to during the next fiscal year:
• Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board
• Inland Valley Hope Partners
• House of Ruth

HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2)

1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows:

The City does not use HOME funds in any other manner than those described in Section 92.205.

2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:

The City will utilize recapture provisions for HOME -funded homebuyer activities. The City will recapture net proceeds (sales price minus the loan repayment not including HOME funds and closing costs) after the homebuyer has recovered the homebuyer’s entire investment (homebuyer’s downpayment plus allowable expenditures for capital improvements made by the homebuyer). After the homebuyer’s investment has been recovered, the City will then recapture the entire HOME loan amount or the portion remaining thereof in net proceeds. The amount subject to recapture is the direct subsidy made to the homebuyer. Capital improvements are permanent real property improvements and do not include maintenance items. The following items are examples of capital improvements: room addition, patio cover, in-ground pool and kitchen remodel. The following items are considered maintenance and would be ineligible for deduction: tools, annual flowers, and light bulbs. Painting and carpeting may be considered if the receipt is within five years, and it adds to the overall value of the home.

An example of the recapture calculation is shown below:

HOME downpayment assistance = $10,000
Homebuyer downpayment = $2,000
Eligible capital improvements = $3,000
Net proceeds = $12,000
Net proceeds – Homebuyers Investment = Remaining net proceeds available for recapture ($12,000 - $5,000 = $7,000).

In this example, the amount of HOME funds recaptured would be $7,000.

3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds. See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:

The City will ensure that any property assisted with HOME funds complies with the periods of affordability requirement found at 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) based on the level of HOME investment.

Recapture provisions are utilized for HOME downpayment assistance loa n programs, however the period of affordability remains unaffected, even if the funds are repaid prior to the expiration of the affordability period.

4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:

The City has no plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds.

Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Reference 91.220(l)(4)

1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) Written standards for the provision of ESG assistance are attached in Appendix F.

2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system.

The City is currently working in cooperation with the San Bernardino County Office of Homeless Services to implement the coordinated entry system established by the San Bernardino County Continuum of Care. The local CoC has established and standardized a regional, telephone-based CES on a 24- hour basis, where consumers and agencies can call to access intake for homeless -related services and receive referrals for housing placement or resources. When using the centralized intake system, a person seeking servi ces contacts “211” (a toll -free number) directly, to obtain initial screening prior to being referred to the appropriate service provider in the Continuum of Care. Every service provider uses the same assessment tool, data collection methods, and targeting strategy for financial assistance as well as for case management prevention, rapid rehousing, and any other services. Using a coordinated access process results in a more accessible and uniform system used to connect persons who are homeless or at risk of homelessness with appropriate resources available in the County’s Continuum of Care. The City also requires any subrecipients utilizing ESG funds to participate in the coordinated assessment system.

3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations).

The City has adopted a process and criteria for awarding ESG. This process is conducted as part of the overall Consolidated Plan process. The City advertises the availability of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds in a newspaper of general circulation. The criteria to select recipients are as follows:

4. Ability of service provider to meet the intended use of ESG funds;

5. Proposal is eligible;
395

Annual Action Plan ONTARIO 2025 154
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)

6. Proposal is consistent with the Continuum of Care principals found in applications for funding; and

7. Ability to meet time frames required for obligation.

4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.

The City consults with the Continuum of Care which has formerly homeless individuals as members.

5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.

The City will enter into binding agreements with subrecipients. Elements of these agreements will include the following information:

8. Type of activity

9. Scope of services to be provided

10. Number of persons to be assisted

11. Budget

12. Reporting requirements

13. Other terms and conditions
The City will conduct annual on -site inspections to ascertain whether the organization is actually meeting their goals and objectives. The overall goal will be to identify any deficiencies and promote corrections in order to improve performance.

AND RESTATED ACQUISITION AND FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH STG

COMMUNITIES II, LLC

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report

SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt a Resolution to Authorize the Execution of an Amended and Restated Acquisition and Funding Agreement between the City and STG Communities II, LLC to provide for the acquisition of completed public infrastructure facilities constructed by STG Communities II, LLC with the Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 42 (West Haven) special tax bond proceeds.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
FISCAL IMPACT:

As proposed, the Amended and Restated Acquisition and Funding Agreement, includes developer construction costs of approximately $3.3 million that will be funded with available CFD No. 42 bond proceeds. Mello-Roos bonds are not a direct obligation of the City and are paid from special taxes levied on each taxable parcel in the District; therefore, there is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. City Council approval will be required to process annual special tax levies in future years.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 provides local government, with the approval of the property owners, the authority to establish community facilities districts for the purpose of levying special taxes to fund governmental services and various public infrastructure facilities. In the First Amended and Restated Construction Agreement 457
between the City and the NMC Builders LLC, the City agreed to cooperate with the members of NMC Builders, LLC in the formation of CFDs to assist in the financing of public improvements.

On August 1, 2018, the City and STG Communities II, LLC entered into an Acquisition and Funding Agreement to provide a mechanism for the purchase of completed public infrastructure improvements constructed by STG Communities II, LLC using special tax bond proceeds. In 2019, STG Communities II, LLC, requested that the City amend the existing Acquisition and Funding Agreement to include storm drain infrastructure. A modification was also made to update the recycled water pipeline from 16" to 12". At this time, the City and STG Communities II, LLC entered into a First Amendment to Acquisition and Funding Agreement.

On March 20, 2025, STG Communities II, LLC requested to amend the First Amendment to Acquisition and Funding Agreement. Section 6.4 of the Acquisition and Funding Agreement provides that the agreement may be amended. As such, the facilities list included in the First Amendment to Acquisition and Funding Agreement has been updated in the proposed Amended and Restated Acquisition and Funding Agreement to include storm drain infrastructure constructed by the developer. In addition, u
nder the proposed Amended and Restated Acquisition and Funding Agreement, the infrastructure to be acquired will be based on actual construction costs. All other terms of the Original Acquisition and Funding Agreement and the First Amendment to Acquisition and Funding Agreement remain in full force and effect.

A GOODS AND SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH SLIM'S KEY SHOP FOR KEY AND

LOCK SERVICES AT VARIOUS CITY FACILITIES

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
June 17, 2025
SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a sole source Goods and Services Agreement with Slim’s Key Shop, of Rancho Cucamonga, California, for key and lock services at various City facilities for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $375,000 for up to five (5) years.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
FISCAL IMPACT:

The recommended Goods and Services Agreement with Slim’s Key Shop is for a total not-to-exceed amount of $225,000 over a three-year term. Two (2) one-year extensions may be exercised at the City’s sole discretion. The cost of option years one and two is $75,000 annually for a total not-to-exceed amount of $375,000 over the five-year term. If approved, appropriations will be included in future Annual Budgets to City Council for approval as needed in the Facilities Maintenance Fund for key and lock services at various City facilities.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The Municipal Services Department is responsible for the operation and routine maintenance of more than 80 facilities and structures throughout the City of Ontario.

The Municipal Services Department relies on vendors to supply parts and perform maintenance to keep our facilities safe for our community and Staff. Slim’s Key services have always met or exceeded Municipal Services expectations for key and locksmith services.

Staff recommends awarding a sole source Goods and Services Agreement to Slim’s Key Shop based on several key factors. The City’s existing key, lock, and cam systems are registered with Slim’s Key Shop. Transitioning to a new vendor would require a complete overhaul of the current keying system resulting in security concerns, operational disruptions, and substantial costs associated with rekeying all facilities as well as re-issuing new keys to staff. 503

AN AMENDMENT TO THE MAINTENANCE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH APPLIANCE SOLUTIONS, DBA MR. APPLIANCE FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

SERVICES OF APPLIANCES AT VARIOUS CITY LOCATIONS

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
June 17, 2025
SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Maintenance Services Agreement with Appliance Solutions, LLC, dba Mr.

Appliance, of Rancho Cucamonga, California, for maintenance and repair services of appliances at various City locations in the amount of $85,000 for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $200,000 and authorize the option to extend the Agreement for an additional one-year term.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:

The recommended Amendment No. 2 with Appliance Solutions, LLC, dba Mr.

Appliance increases the contract amount by $85,000 for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $200,000 and extends the agreement for an additional one-year term. If approved, appropriations will be included in future Annual Budgets to City Council for approval as needed in the Facilities Maintenance Fund for maintenance and repair services of appliances at various City locations.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

On July 30, 2024, Amendment No. 1 to the Maintenance Services Agreement with Appliance Solutions, LLC, dba Mr. Appliance, for maintenance and repair services of appliances at various City locations was executed to extend the term to June 30, 2025, and increase the compensation by $55,000 for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $115,000.

The City operates various facilities that utilize many types of appliances that are necessary for the City’s operational needs. The Facilities Maintenance Department relies on its vendors to support Staff in maintaining and making necessary repairs. Within our various City facilities including fire stations, administration buildings, and community centers, the City of Ontario relies heavily on a variety of appliances for daily operations including refrigerators, ice makers, dishwashers, stoves, etc. Over time, frequent use leads to wear, malfunctions, and breakdowns which can disrupt essential services that affect Staff and the public.
523
Staff recommends approving Amendment No. 2 to ensure continual operation, minimize downtime, and reduce the need for full equipment replacement by expanding the lifespan of our existing equipment.

Addressing the added services by amendment rather than a new solicitation is more economical for the City because Appliance Solutions, LLC, dba Mr. Appliance, by virtue of the services provided under its existing agreement, can perform the added services at lower cost than a competitor that is not already mobilized in performing this work for the City. 524
