ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/26
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Adopt a Resolution entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, INITIATING PROCEEDINGS FOR THE LEVY AND

COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS FOR PALM DESERT BENEFIT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/2026.”

2. Adopt a Resolution entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO LEVY THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT FOR CITY OF PALM DESERT BENEFIT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/2026, PURSUANT TO THE BENEFIT ASSESSMENT ACT OF 1982 AND APPOINTING A TIME AND PLACE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THESE MATTERS,” and setting a Public Hearing to be held at Palm Desert City Hall on Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 4:00 p.m.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The City of Palm Desert (City) established Benefit Assessment District (BAD) No. 1 to fund the operation and maintenance of a regional stormwater drainage system located in Section 29. The system, which includes a retention basin and related infrastructure, is designed to protect developed parcels in the area by controlling stormwater runoff and reducing the risk of flooding.

The BAD was formed under the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, and the cost of these services is shared among properties that directly benefit.

Each property in the BAD is charged an annual assessment based on its proportional benefit using a method called Equivalent Benefit Units (EBUs). EBUs take into account factors such as parcel size, land use, and development status. For instance, a larger commercial lot that generates more runoff will be assigned more EBUs than a smaller residential parcel. This approach ensures that each property pays its fair share based on the level of benefit it receives from the drainage improvements.

The assessment calculations and methodology were prepared by Willdan Financial Services, the City’s independent assessment engineer. Willdan also authored the attached 2025-26 Engineer’s Report, which provides the technical basis for the proposed levy. The report includes parcel-level calculations, district boundaries, the formula used to assign EBUs, and a summary of current and long-term funding needs, including reserve and capital improvement components. 297

Approve Resolutions for Benefit Assessment District No. 1

The full levy amount of $625 per EBU is proposed for Fiscal Year 2025-26. This rate is within the maximum allowed and is needed to support continued maintenance, administration, and capital reserves for the system. The BAD boundaries and affected parcels are detailed in the Engineer’s Report (page 12).

City Council is required to declare its intention to levy the assessment and initiate proceedings in order to facilitate the legal requirements necessary to collect the assessment. A public hearing is proposed for June 26, 2025, to allow property owners and the public to comment on the proposed levy before adoption.

Legal Review:

This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The assessment and collection of the full levy amount covers the ongoing maintenance of the Section 29 retention basin, a potential expansion, and associated administrative costs.

Anticipated revenues and expenditures for the BAD have been included as part of the FY 2025- 26 Proposal Annual Budget.

INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to the provisions of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, being Chapter 6.4 of the California Government Code, commencing with Section 54703 (hereafter referred to as the “1982 Act”), and in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the California State Constitution Article XIIID (hereafter referred to as the “California Constitution”), the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, County of Riverside, State of California (hereafter referred to as “City”), proposes to levy special benefit assessments for the district designated as:

City of Palm Desert Benefit Assessment District No. 1
Benefit Assessment District No. 1 (hereafter referred to as “District”), which includes lots and parcels of land within the subdivisions known as Monterey 170 and subdivision known as Section 29, within the City limits of Palm Desert. The areas included in the District are also known as Parcel Map No. 24255 (Monterey 170) / Assessment District 2004-02 (Section 29).

The Engineer’s Annual Levy Report (hereafter referred to as the “Report”) describes the District, the services, and the proposed assessments to be levied against properties in connection with the special benefits that the properties will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the District improvements and facilities for Fiscal Year 2025/2026. The District and the assessments described herein will provide a funding source (annual assessments) for the continued operation, maintenance and servicing of the drainage basin, including expansions thereto.

The services and assessments described in this Report are based on the current and planned development of properties within the District and represent an estimate of the direct expenditures, incidental expenses, and fund balances that will be necessary to operate, maintain and service the drainage basin that provides special benefits to properties within the District. The structure of the District (organization), the proposed services, the method of apportionment, and assessments described herein are based on the current and proposed development within the District; and by reference, the plans and specifications for the drainage basin and expansion thereto are made part of this Report.

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the Riverside County Assessor’s Office. The Riverside County Auditor-Controller uses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for the special benefit assessments.

As part of this District, the City of Palm Desert conducted a Property Owner Protest Ballot proceeding for the proposed levy of a new assessment pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution, Article XIIID Section 4. In conjunction with this ballot proceeding, the City Council conducted a noticed public hearing to consider public testimonies, comments and written protests regarding the formation of the District and levy of 308
2025/2026 Benefit Assessment District No. 1 Page 2
assessments. At the public hearing, property owner protest ballots received were tabulated and a majority protest did not exist for the proposed assessments and the assessment range formula presented and described herein. The City Council approved the Report, ordered the formation of the District, and approved the levy and collection of assessments.

Each subsequent fiscal year, a Report is prepared and presented to the City Council describing any changes to the proposed services, the annual budget and assessments for that fiscal year, and the City Council shall hold a noticed public hearing regarding these matters prior to approving and ordering the proposed levy of assessments. If the proposed assessments for the District exceed the maximum assessment described herein (as approved by the property owners), the new or increased assessment must be confirmed through another property owner protest ballot proceeding before such an assessment may be imposed. It should be noted that an increased assessment of an individual property resulting from changes in development or land use does not constitute an increased assessment.

This Report consists of five (5) parts:

Part I
Plans and Specifications: A description of the District boundaries and the proposed improvements associated with the District.

Part II
The Method of Apportionment: A discussion of benefits the services provided to properties within the District and the method of calculating each property’s proportional special benefit and annual assessment. This section also identifies and outlines an Assessment Range Formula that provides for an annual adjustment to the Maximum Assessment Rate that establishes limits on future assessments, but also provides for reasonable cost adjustments due to inflation without the added expense of additional property owner protest ballot proceedings.

Part III
The District Budget: An estimate of the annual costs to operate, maintain and service the drainage basin improvements and facilities installed and constructed to support current and proposed development within the District. This budget includes an estimate of anticipated direct maintenance costs and incidental expenses including, but not limited to administration expenses and the collection of appropriate fund balances. The special benefit assessments are based on the overall operation, maintenance and servicing costs minus any costs that are considered general benefit or not assessed as special benefit.

The proposed assessments for the Fiscal Year 2025/2026, shall be based on the estimated net annual cost of operating, maintaining and servicing the District improvements for that fiscal year. The Maximum Assessments Rate (Rates per 309
2025/2026 Benefit Assessment District No. 1 Page 3
Equivalent Benefit Unit) identified in the budget of this Report shall be adjusted annually by the Assessment Range Formula described in the method of apportionment.

Part IV
District Diagram: A Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in this Report and includes all parcels that will receive special benefits from the services.

Parcel identification, the lines and dimensions of each lot, parcel and subdivision of land within the District, are inclusive of all parcels as shown on the Riverside County Assessor's Parcel Maps as they existed at the time of the passage of the Resolution of Intention, and shall include all subsequent subdivisions, lot line adjustments or parcel changes therein. Reference is hereby made to the Riverside County Assessor’s maps for a detailed description of the lines and dimensions of each lot and parcel of land within the District.

Part V
Assessment Roll: A listing of the proposed assessment amount to be applied to each parcel within the District for the Fiscal Year 2025/2026. The proposed assessment amount for each parcel is based on the parcel’s proportional special benefit as outlined in the method of apportionment and the Maximum Assessment Rates.

PART I — PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
A. Benefiting Properties within the District
The territory within the District consists of all lots, parcels and subdivisions of land within the subdivision known as Monterey 170 and the proposed subdivision known as Section 29, which encompasses an area of land totaling approximately four hundred sixty acres (460 acres). The subdivisions are generally located:

North of Gerald Ford;
Southwest of Interstate 10;
West of Portola Avenue; and,
East of Monterey Avenue.

B. Funding authorized by the 1982 Act
As generally defined by the 1982 Act and applicable to this District, the City may impose a benefit assessment to finance the maintenance, operation and servicing costs associated with the drainage basin described below.
310
2025/2026 Benefit Assessment District No. 1 Page 4
C. Description of Services
The purpose of this District is to fund the activities necessary to operate, maintain and service the drainage basin constructed in a portion of Section 29, Township 4 South, Range 6 East SBM and to be enlarged in connection with current and new development of properties. The maintenance, operation and servicing of these improvements may include but are not limited to all materials, equipment, labor, and incidental expenses deemed necessary to keep the drainage basin in satisfactory condition. The maintenance of the improvements and related activities shall be funded entirely through the District assessments. The District services are generally described as:
 Drainage basin maintenance that may include but is not limited to inspection, repair, removal and replacement, and servicing of drainage basins, inlets, catch basins, manholes, outlets, drywells, pumps, filters and storm drain pipes installed in connection with the development of benefiting properties as well as any off-site improvements and facilities directly associated with the aforementioned infrastructure that is deemed necessary to service or protect the properties;  All appurtenant, equipment, materials and service contracts related to the operation, maintenance and servicing of the aforementioned improvements and facilities;
 Detailed maps and descriptions of the location and extent of the specific improvements to be maintained by the District are on file in the Office of Public Works and by reference are made part of this Report. The annual cost to provide the services determined to be of special benefit shall be allocated to each property in proportion to the special benefits received from those various services.

Drainage Basin Maintenance
The drainage basin maintenance may include but is not limited to: grading of access perimeter roads, repair of erosion of slopes to access roads, debris clearance, anchor mat repairs, dust control through the application of soil stabilization agents, weed abatement, mosquito and vector control, storm drain inlets and outlets, pumps, filters and pipes. The annual assessments for this District are intended to support the drainage basin and the maintenance program that will adequately regulate and control storm water runoff resulting from current and proposed development within the District. This maintenance program may include but is not limited to: inspection and documentation of the system; cleaning, servicing or repair of the facilities and equipment; and the partial removal, replacement or rehabilitation of equipment and facilities. The drainage basin will cover an area of approximately 4 acres. The Public Works Department shall authorize and schedule all operational activities and maintenance of the drainage basin. 311
2025/2026 Benefit Assessment District No. 1 Page 5
A portion of the services described above might not be performed on an annual basis but due to an extraordinary event, such as replacement of the anchor mats and other major facility repairs, the funds necessary for these activities are collected as part of the annual assessments. The monies collected each year for these extraordinary services shall be accumulated in a special fund of the District (Reserve/Capital Improvement Fund). The monies accumulated for these activities shall be spent as needed to perform the services deemed necessary by the City. This process of providing a reserve/capital improvement shall continue until such time the District is dissolved; or the City determines that such funding procedures require modification. Changes in the process of providing a reserve/capital improvement that would result in an increase in the annual assessment rate must be presented to the property owners for approval prior to imposing such an increase.

In March 2022, the City initiated an evaluation of the Section 29 Retention Basin.

Following an assessment of the basin's capacity, which stands at 45.4 acre-feet, an additional 16.3 acre-feet of retention volume was deemed necessary to mitigate overflow risks and accommodate the storage requirements for a 100-year storm event. The City has since designed for its improvement and expansion, and in December 2023, awarded a construction contract of approximately $4.63 million. The project was completed in August 2024. The City will continue to analyze the maintenance costs of these improvements and incorporate them in future assessments.

PART II — METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. General
The 1982 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing for the maintenance, operation and servicing of drainage and flood control improvements as well as streets, roads, and appurtenant facilities. The 1982 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The amount of the assessment imposed on any parcel of property shall be related to the benefit to the parcel which will be derived from the provision of the service.” Furthermore:
“The annual aggregate amount of the assessment shall not exceed the estimated annual cost of providing the service, except that the legislative body may, by resolution, determine that the estimated cost of work authorized … is greater than can be conveniently raised from a single annual assessment and order that the estimated cost shall be raised by an assessment levied and collected in installments…. The revenue derived from the assessment shall not be used to pay the cost of any service other than the service for which the assessment was levied.”
312
2025/2026 Benefit Assessment District No. 1 Page 6
The method of apportionment described in this Report for allocation of special benefit assessments utilizes commonly accepted engineering practices and in compliance with the provisions of the 1982 Act and the California Constitution. The formulas used for calculating assessments reflect the composition of parcels within the District and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on the special benefits to each parcel.

B. Benefit Analysis
Each of the proposed services, and the associated costs and assessments have been carefully reviewed, identified, and allocated based on special benefit pursuant to the provisions of the 1982 Act and the California Constitution. The drainage basin improvements associated with this District are necessary and essential requirements for existing development, and the orderly development of future properties within the District to their full potential, consistent with the conditions for development of the properties, protection of downstream properties which would be negatively affected by increased storm runoff from the developed properties without the basin, and the applicable portions of the City General Plan. As such, the ongoing operation, servicing, and maintenance of those improvements would otherwise be the direct financial obligation of each individual property owner. Since the existing parcels and proposed new development to be assessed are directly served by the drainage basin, each parcel has a direct investment in the proper maintenance of the various improvements that is over and above any general benefits that may be conferred by such improvements and services.

The construction and installation of these improvements are only necessary for the properties within the District. As such, these improvements were not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Therefore, it has been determined that the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of the District improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the District.

C. Assessment Methodology
All costs associated with the services shall be fairly distributed among the parcels based upon the special benefit received by each parcel. Additionally, in compliance with the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 4, each parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred to that parcel. The benefit formula used to determine the assessment obligation is therefore based upon both the services that benefit the parcels within the District as well as the gross acreage of each property as compared to other parcels that benefit from those services.

The method of apportionment established for this District and described herein, reflects 313
2025/2026 Benefit Assessment District No. 1 Page 7
the proportional special benefit each property receives from the services based on the gross acreage of that parcel as compared to the total gross acreage of all properties within the District except those that retain runoff on-site and do not receive any special benefit from those services.

Equivalent Benefit Units
In order to assess benefits equitably it is necessary to relate each property’s proportional special benefits to the special benefits of all other properties within the District. The method of apportionment established for this district, formed under the 1982 Benefit Act, will utilize a weighted method of apportionment known as an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) methodology. This proportional weighting may be based on several factors that may include but are not limited to: the type of development (land use), developmentstatus (developed versus undeveloped), size of the property, location of the property, development plans or restrictions, vehicular trip generation, street frontage, densities or other property related factors. Generally, for most districts the calculation of each parcel’s proportional special benefit can be reasonably determined by applying one or more of these factors.

Since the drainage basin will be constructed to retain runoff from the properties within the District and the cost of maintenance is directly related to the size of the basin, each parcel’s proportional special benefit has been based on the parcel’s gross acreage as compared to the total gross acreage of all other parcels within the District except those that retain runoff on-site and do not receive any special benefit from those services.

Generally, storm water runoff occurs from the entire parcel before and after development.

Thus, the gross size of a parcel prior to development provides a relative comparison to the amount of runoff the parcel will contribute to the drainage basin and thus the cost of maintenance. Therefore, it has been determined that for this District, each parcel’s proportional benefit (Equivalent Benefit Units) shall be equal to the parcel’s gross acreage before development (rounded to two decimal places).

Exempt Parcels — This land use identifies properties that are not assessed and are assigned 0.00 EBU. This land use classification may include but is not limited to:
 Lots or parcels identified as public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County) which are otherwise included in the gross acreage of the parcel prior to development.
 Dedicated public easements including open space areas, utility rights-of-way, greenbelts, parkways, parks or other publicly owned properties that are part of the District improvements or may provide other benefits to private properties within the District.
 Private properties that cannot be developed independently from an adjacent property, such as common areas, sliver parcels or bifurcated lots or properties with very restrictive development use but are included in the gross acreage prior to development.
314
2025/2026 Benefit Assessment District No. 1 Page 8
 Parcels owned by the school district, Coachella Valley Water District and private developers that will not be assessed as part of this benefit assessment district, since the runoff generated by these properties shall be captured and retained onsite through the construction and grading of the sites.

These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment but shall be reviewed annually by the assessment engineer to confirm the parcels’ current development status. Government owned properties or public properties are not necessarily exempt properties and shall be subject to special benefit assessment unless they qualify for an exempt status. The following formula is used to calculate each parcel’s EBU (proportional benefit).

Total Budget / Total EBU (Gross Acres) = Assessment Rate per EBU (Parcel’s Acreage / Total Net Acreage) x Total EBU = Parcel’s EBU Assessment Rate per EBU x Parcel’s EBU = Parcel Levy Amount For all subsequent parcel subdivisions that result in a final map of buildable residential lots, the number of EBUs assigned to such lots shall be calculated by taking the EBU initially calculated for the original Parcel (identified at the time of this Report) and apportioning the original assigned EBUs equally to the new buildable residential lot(s) or by equivalent gross acreage for non-residential lots created by a subdivision map. The corresponding assessment shall be levied against the applicable corresponding Assessor’s Parcel Number(s).

D. Assessment Range Formula
Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law. Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID), legislative changes in the Brown Act defined a "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions. These conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation).

If the proposed annual assessment (levy per EBU) for the upcoming fiscal year is less than or equal to the adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment.

The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the District costs and assessments.

As part of the District formation, the notice and assessment ballots presented to the 315
2025/2026 Benefit Assessment District No. 1 Page 9
property owners for approval, included a maximum assessment amount for Fiscal Year 2007/2008 (initial maximum assessment), identification of the corresponding Maximum Assessment Rate and a summary of the Assessment Range Formula described herein.

The Assessment Range Formula for this District shall be applied to all future assessments and is generally defined:

The Maximum Assessment Rate is equal to the (Initial) Maximum Assessment Rate established for Fiscal Year 2007/2008 adjusted annually by the greater of three percent (3%) or the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of “All Urban Consumers” for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Area for March. Starting fiscal year 2019/2020 the Maximum Assessment Rate will be adjusted annually by the greater of three percent (3%) or the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of “All Urban Consumers” for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Area.

Beginning in the second fiscal year (Fiscal Year 2008/2009) and each fiscal year thereafter, the Maximum Assessment Rate will be recalculated, and a new Maximum Assessment Rate established for the fiscal year utilizing the Assessment Range Formula described above. The adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate shall be calculated independent of the District’s annual budget and proposed assessment. The annual percentage change in CPI shall be based on available data provided by the U.S.

Department of Labor; Bureau of Labor Statistics at the time the annual Report is prepared.

Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living.

Any proposed annual assessment (rate per EBU) less than or equal to the calculated (adjusted) Maximum Assessment Rate is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year.

To impose a new or increased assessment other than the annual inflationary adjustment provided by the preceding Assessment Range Formula, the City must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 4c, that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owners, through the balloting process, must approve a proposed new or increased assessment before such an assessment may be imposed.

PART IV — DISTRICT DIAGRAMS
The parcels within Benefit Assessment District No. 1, Parcel Map No. 24255 (Monterey 170) / Assessment District 2004-02 (Section 29) consist of lots, parcels and subdivisions of land located in the planned residential and commercial development known as Section 29 and Monterey 170. The District covers approximately four hundred sixty acres (460 acres) in the City of Palm Desert.

The following District Diagram is based on the Riverside County Assessor’s Maps and the Riverside County Assessor’s information and identifies all the parcels of land within the proposed District, as the same existed at the time this Report was prepared. The combination of this map and the Assessment Roll contained in this Report constitutes the District Assessment Diagram.

PART V — ASSESSMENT ROLL
Parcel identification for each lot or parcel within the District is based on the Assessment Diagram presented herein and is based on available parcel maps and property data from the Riverside County Assessor’s Office at the time the Engineer’s Report was prepared.

A listing of the proposed lots and parcels to be assessed within this District along with the assessment amounts is provided herein.

Non-assessable lots or parcels may include, but are not limited to, public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas, right-of-ways, common areas; bifurcated lots, and any other property that cannot be developed or has little or no value. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment.

If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor-Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor-Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate described in this Report as approved by the City Council. Therefore, if a single parcel is subdivided to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment. 320

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 8, 2025
PREPARED BY: Ivan Tenorio, Homeless and Supportive Services Manager SUBJECT: ADOPT AND APPROVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENTS TO THE ANNUAL ACTION

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The City of Palm Desert receives annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Over time, it is not uncommon for projects to receive CDBG funding allocations but ultimately not use the full amount, whether due to cost savings, project scope changes, or external funding offsets. This can lead to a gradual build-up of unspent funds, requiring reallocation to ensure the funds are used effectively and in compliance with HUD’s timeliness requirements.

As of Program Years (PY) 2019–2024, the City has accumulated $449,198.11 in unspent CDBG and CDBG-CV funds. Most of these unspent funds stem from cost savings on completed projects.

Program Year Unspent Amount
2019 $5,596.38
2020 $8,784.90
2020 (CV) $181,441.64
2021 $59,723.44
2022 $32,467.73

City of Palm Desert
CDBG Amendments

Reallocation Strategy
In consultation with the City’s CDBG consultant and HUD representative, staff have developed a plan to reallocate these funds effectively and in compliance with federal guidelines for City Council consideration. According to the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, a Substantial Amendment is required when:
 Reallocating $25,000 or more, or
 Adding or removing a project.

Since PY 2019 and 2020 allocations fall below this threshold and do not change existing projects, they will be reallocated administratively.

REALLOCATION DETAILS BY PROGRAM YEAR
PY 2019 & PY 2020 Administrative Reallocations
 Project: Public infrastructure improvements under the Palm Desert Housing Authority (PDHA), specifically parking lot resurfacing at the Candlewood property, benefitting low- to moderate-income residents. This same project is covered over the multiple reallocation years.
 Amount: $14,381.28 (PY 2019: $5,596.38 and PY 2020: $8,784.90) PY 2020(CV) Substantial Amendment
 Project: Desert Arc HVAC Replacement Project
 Amount: $180,000 (reallocated from unspent CDBG-CV funds) Originally awarded $110,000 in PY 2024 CDBG funds, the HVAC replacement project was reallocated to CDBG-CV due to its alignment with COVID-19 public health goals, specifically improving air circulation and filtration. This shift qualifies under HUD’s coronavirus response criteria and allows the City to strategically utilize its remaining $181,441.64 in CDBG-CV funds.

Community Impact
By reallocating unspent CDBG funds to the PDHA, directing additional resources to the Joslyn Center ADA Bathroom Project, and transitioning the Desert Arc HVAC Project to CDBG-CV funding, the City will fulfill CDBG requirements. These reallocations will improve public infrastructure, create safer community spaces, and enhance accessibility for vulnerable populations, including seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Public Review & Approval Process
The 30-day public review period for this Substantial Amendment will run from March 28, 2025, to April 27, 2025, alongside on the City’s website (www.palmdesert.gov/departments/specialprograms/community-development-block-grant-cdbg). A public hearing will be held on May 8, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. in the Palm Desert City Hall Council Chambers to consider final approval.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The reallocation of funds results in a net available balance of $1,441.64 in CDBG (CV) funds that may be used for another eligible purpose. Costs for CDBG projects are eligible for 100% reimbursement from HUD; therefore, this action has no impact on the General Fund.

1. Introduction
In order to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds, the City of Palm Desert (City) is required to submit an Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Action Plan outlines eligible activities selected to fund with CDBG funds in Program Year 2020. The Action Plan represents the third year of the Program Year 2018-2022 Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan). The City will receive $409,923 in CDBG funds in Program Year 2020. The Action Plan utilizes the statutory waivers provided in the CARES Act as well.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The Action Plan is intended to fund high-priority community needs identified during the annual Citizen Participation Plan process while aligning with the following goals of the previously-approved Consolidated Plan: support efforts to combat homelessness; enhance public facilities; provide support for public service programs; and increase fair housing activities.

A performance evaluation is annually performed through HUD’s review of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). This document states the objectives and outcomes identified in each Action Plan and includes an evaluation of past performance through measurable goals and objectives relative to actual performance. Prior documents can be found at the Palm Desert City Hall.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan.

On January 9, 2020, the City commenced its citizen participation process by holding a public hearing before the City Council to provide an opportunity for the public to comment on and community needs.

Concurrently, the City began soliciting proposals to potentially fund nonprofit organizations for public services and public facilities and improvements. The City also held a community meeting to provide an overview of the CDBG Program and technical assistance on February 6, 2020.

On March 13, 2020, the City’s Outside Agency Funding Committee (Committee) convened to review and discuss CDBG funding recommendations. The Committee recommended approval of the CDBG funding recommendations, as presented. The City held a public comment period from March 20, 2020, through April 22, 2020.

On April 16, 2020, the City Council held a public hearing to accept public comment and consider the Action Plan. However, City staff revised its recommendation to open and close the public hearing without further action because of the CARES Act allocation (CDBG-CV) and statutory waivers. Since the statutory waivers remove the 15% public services cap, the City solicited proposals again to potentially fund nonprofit organizations to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus.

On May 14, 2014, the City Council considered the concept of an Emergency Rental Assistance Program as a result of the coronavirus. The City Council approved policy guidelines that allowed staff to begin taking administrative steps to create the program expediously.

On May 20, 2020, the Committee convened again to review and discuss the revised CDBG funding recommendations. The Committee recommended approval of the revised CDBG funding recommendations, as presented. While the statutory waivers allow for a five-day public comment period, the City held its from May 22, 2020, through May 31, 2020.

On May 28, 2020, the City Council held a public hearing and subsequently approved the Action Plan, as presented.

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

The City is actively involved in multiple activities to address the needs of homeless persons, which include coordination with the Continuum of Care. For example, the City is involved in regional coordination efforts between stakeholders throughout the Coachella Valley and Riverside County.

The City has historically funded homelessness services coordinated regionally through the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG). For years, the City contributed funds to CVAG for the operation of Roy's Desert Resource Center, which permanently closed in July 2017. Since then, CVAG has allocated its regional financial commitments for other homelessness services. The City recently made another financial commitment in the amount of $100,000 to CVAG to continue to implement homelessness services. A summary of accomplishments can be found at City Hall.

The City previously budgeted General Fund revenue for its own homelessness program as well. City and County staff have since developed a program that has a primary focus on homelessness locally. The program contracts with the Riverside University Health System to provide a Behavioral Health Specialist and a Mental Health Peer Support Specialist in Palm Desert to focus on providing homelessness services.

The agreement commences on July 1, 2019, and ends December 31, 2020. Please note the County of Riverside coordinates the Continuum of Care.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds.

Planned Activities Emergency Rental Assistance Program ($28,023): The City will select a subrecipient to manage an Emergency Rental Assistance Program for low and moderate-income persons impacted by the coronavirus. These CDBG funds complement additional CDBG-CV funding as part of a Program Year 2019 Action Plan Amendment.

Fair Housing Council of Riverside County ($40,100): The subrecipient provides fair housing services throughout Riverside County, which is a requirement as a recipient of HUD funds.

The Josyln Center ($80,000): The subrecipient provides numerous services for seniors, including social and health/wellness programs.

Because of the coronavirus, the agency has faced a substantial financial reduction due to cancelled fundraisers, losses in class and activity fees, declining renewal and new memberships, and other reasons. The agency continues to facilitate essential services such as home delivered meals, food pantry activities and counseling services. The agency requests funds to sustain the Joslyn Wellness Center, which provides counseling and other wellness-related activities for seniors. The agency requests funds mostly to sustain staffing and other activity costs. (CARES ACT)
Desert Arc ($60,000): The agency enhances the quality of life and creates opportunities for people with disabilities. Because of the coronavirus, the agency has faced a substantial financial reduction due to cancelled fundraisers, reduced revenue-generating programs and other reasons. The agency is developing a re-opening plan that includes a phased approach to get clients back onsite. Implementing the plan is costly, and includes conducting staff training, purchasing personal protective equipment, and other costs. The agency requests funds to sustain staffing levels and implement activities relating to the reopening plan. (CARES ACT) 3 Project Name Public Facilities and Improvements

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The City is located in Riverside County; particularly, the Coachella Valley. Historically, the City has not had any low- and moderate-income census tracts; however, the City now has two eligible census tracts as of recently (ACS data). Program Year 2020 CDBG funds will be used for low- and moderate-income clientele (or presumed benefit).

Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City has not historically funded CDBG activities based upon geographic areas since there have not been eligible low and moderate-income census tracts; however, HUD recently revised the census criteria used to determine eligibility. As a result, the City now has two CDBG-eligible census tracts. City staff is currently exploring the possibility of a Section 108 Loan for City Council’s consideration in subsequent program years.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City will continue to work with nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and other stakeholders to fund activities that help prevent and reduce homelessness.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City operates a Homelessness Assistance Program that began July 1, 2019. The City contracted with the Riverside University Health System (i.e., County of Riverside) to provide two full-time staff members to provide continual outreach and case management for homeless persons in Palm Desert. In Program Year 2019, the City funded Path of Life Ministries with CDBG funds to assist with bridge/temporary housing to complement the City's Homelessness Assistance Program.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Housing First approach adopted by the County and CoC requires that homeless are helped into permanent housing or rapid re-housing as soon as possible. Transitional housing beds have begun to decrease countywide and permanent housing is increasing because of reallocations made in the HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application and the CoC’s success in obtaining new funding for permanent supportive housing. Both transitional housing and emergency shelters focus on lessening the time that a homeless person or family’s length of time homeless (LOTH) in the shelter by effective and quick assessment of homeless clients and getting them stabilized into permanent housing with intensive case management initially and support in the initial phase of residency in permanent housing. This period will serve as a time to address the other needs to maintain self-sufficiency either by accessing mainstream benefits, employment or medical or mental health support.

The CoC collaborates with the City and other stakeholders to integrate CoC programs, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Social Services to Veteran Families (SSVF), and CDBG funding to increase the number of persons with rapid re-housing assistance. Also, other non-McKinney-Vento funding sources, such as Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP), funded under Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be matched as a source for rental / mortgage assistance for families that are homeless or at-risk of homelessness in the County’s strategy to meet this goal.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that 370
Annual Action Plan
2020
29 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 CoC implemented a Coordinated Entry System (CES) to assess homeless persons using the VI-SPDAT that tracks the length of time a client has been on the streets or in an emergency shelter. DPSS uses HUD’s CoC Program planning grant funding to measure system-wide performance in HMIS, such as length of time homeless. This is used to help the CoC prioritize and house those with longest length of time homeless. The planning process also included working with the CoC Standards and Evaluation Committee to continue developing strategies to prioritize persons with longest time homeless and most severe needs, including:

The CoC has also adopted a Housing First approach that is evidenced-based and endorsed by HUD to place a homeless person in permanent housing and provide supportive services intended to keep them stably housed.

Homeless CoC youth providers have implemented outreach and service based events in the communities to draw homeless youth, unaccompanied and transitional age into contact with services available to them. The Operation SafeHouse is the only CoC youth provider that has opened a permanent supportive housing program called the Harrison House, which is for transitional age youth, in the eastern desert region of Riverside County.

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.

The CoC Discharge Policy is mandated by the State and followed by the CoC. The CoC established a Discharge Planning Committee, responsible for implementing policies and protocols and coordinating with various organizations, to ensure that persons being discharged from a publicly-funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into homelessness. The goals are to identify discharge housing needs inclusive of housing and supportive services and to link the individual with community resources that will include mental health services, substance abuse support, and housing. The Hospital Association of Southern California Inland Area serves as the lead agency on the Discharge Planning Committee to facilitate communication regarding the discharge planning needs of homeless persons from acute care hospitals. The Riverside County University Health System – Behavioral Health, collaborates with DPSS and the CoC in the coordination and implementation of discharge planning for homeless individuals disabled by a serious mental health and/or substance abuse disorder(s). Foster Care and extended foster care programs help transition dependent youth who are emancipating from 371

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

The City will continue to work with various stakeholders to meet the needs of its residents that remain in-need of CDBG-eligible activities consistent with Consolidated Plan goals.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City will continue to work toward the reduction/elimination of obstacles to meet underserved needs through the funding of various organizations that are established to provide direct services to those in need. The City is not equipped to provide direct services; therefore, funding organizations that do is essential to our success in addressing the identified goals and objectives. The City will continue to partner with service providers to address obstacles and address barriers that exist. In addition, the City works with the County of Riverside, the CoC, local agencies, nonprofits, etc. to address various aspects related to CoC programs and activities, as well as obstacles that face the underserved in general.

However, the CoC addresses issues relative to homelessness, mental and physical illnesses, domestic violence, etc. and has a wide range of members where collaboration in other areas is an option. Through these working relationships, obstacles such as lack of communication between agencies, improved services, limited resources, tracking and monitoring, and other needed resources are obtained, gaps in services are better identified, and there is a more cohesive approach to identifying and resolving issues.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City and the Palm Desert Housing Authority will continue to maintain the existing affordable housing stock through the funding sources identified previously; however, as noted with the elimination of redevelopment agencies, there is no longer what is considered 20% Set-aside funds. Therefore, maintaining existing properties and programs will be the primary focus, provided funding is available, for some time to come. However, new projects and programs will be planned and implemented where and when possible.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City’s Building and Safety and Housing departments distribute informational pamphlets on Lead Based Paint Hazards and refer all calls to the County of Riverside Environmental Health Department. The City addresses this issue on a case-by-case basis through multiple steps.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City is continuing to team up with service providers to provide assistance for poverty level families, including funding food and services options during the Program Year. In addition, the City will seek out additional partnerships for programs that encourage self sufficiency including employment and training, 374

housing options, and safety net programs.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City will continue to work with outside agencies to maintain and develop relationships, including the County of Riverside, nonprofit organization, private businesses, the CoC, and nonprofit organizations in the region.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to work with various County departments, agencies, and nonprofit organizations to identify and carry out goals and objectives of the CDBG Program, and to create a more cooperative working relationship with all interested parties. The City invites these groups to attend public hearings, community meetings, and special meetings that address specific programs and projects. The City has an approved Citizen’s Participation Plan that it follows in this regard. In addition, City staff regularly attends CoC meetings that involve multiple organizations and various County Departments as well as other local jurisdictions wherein discussions are held on homelessness as well as supportive services to other at risk groups of individuals and families.

Previous SA: Substantial amendment for a project funded in PY2021-22 AAP, Desert Arc, IDIS activity #299. On May 13, 2021, the City Council approved the submission of the Fiscal Year 2021 Action Plan, including funding recommendations for the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).This substantial amendment to the FY 2021-22 Annual Action Plan will change the Council approved project for constructing a covered shelter to sidewalk and pathway improvements. Desert Arc representatives informed City Staff the approved project is no longer a priority, and sidewalks and pathways improvements were a high priority for the agency since this would drastically improve the quality of life for clients by easing the use of wheelchairs and reducing slip hazards. This project meets the HUD CDBG regulations, CFR 24 570.201(c); therefore, the City is recommending changing the project at Desert Arc, which will benefit the clients served. It is important to note, the funding amount does not change, only the project description. On June 22, 2023, the City of Palm Desert City Council approved the substantial amendment for said project description noted above.

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

The City is actively involved in multiple activities to address the needs of homeless persons, which include coordination with the Continuum of Care. For example, the City is involved in regional coordination efforts between stakeholders throughout the Coachella Valley and Riverside County.

The City has historically funded homelessness services coordinated regionally through the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG). For years, the City contributed funds to CVAG for the operation of Roy’s Desert Resource Center, which permanently closed in July 2017. Since then, CVAG has allocated its regional financial commitments for other homelessness services. The City recently made another financial commitment in the amount of $100,000 to CVAG to continue to implement homelessness services. A summary of accomplishments can be found at City Hall. 382

Identify any Agency Types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting The City attempts to keep a comprehensive list of stakeholders potentially eligible to receive CDBG funds for activities consistent with the Consolidated Plan goals. As some stakeholders undergo staffing changes, on occasion City staff is unaware of such changes throughout the program year. As a result, some stakeholders may not realize the City is attempting to consult with their organizations during the Action Plan process. To mitigate this concern, City staff updates its contact list annually to ensure proper channels of communication with stakeholders. 385

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The City of Palm Desert is located in Riverside County; particularly, the Coachella Valley. Historically, the City has not had any low- and moderate-income census tracts; however, the City now has two eligible census tracts as of recently (ACS data). CDBG funds will be used for low- and moderate-income clientele (or presumed benefit).

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City has not historically funded CDBG activities based upon geographic areas since there have not been eligible low and moderate-income census tracts; however, HUD recently revised the census criteria used to determine eligibility. As a result, the City now has two CDBG-eligible census tracts. City staff is currently exploring the possibility of a Section 108 Loan for City Council’s consideration in subsequent program years.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City will continue to work with nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and other stakeholders to fund activities that help prevent and reduce homelessness.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City operates a homelessness assistance program as well. The program that has a primary focus on homelessness locally. The program contracts with the Riverside University Health System to provide a Behavioral Health Specialists in Palm Desert to focus on providing homelessness services.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Housing First approach adopted by the County and CoC requires that homeless are helped into permanent housing or rapid re-housing as soon as possible. Transitional housing beds have begun to decrease countywide and permanent housing is increasing because of reallocations made in the HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application and the CoC’s success in obtaining new funding for permanent supportive housing. Both transitional housing and emergency shelters focus on lessening the time that a homeless person or family’s length of time homeless (LOTH) in the shelter by effective and quick assessment of homeless clients and getting them stabilized into permanent housing with intensive case management initially and support in the initial phase of residency in permanent housing. This period will serve as a time to address the other needs to maintain self-sufficiency either by accessing mainstream benefits, employment or medical or mental health support.

The CoC collaborates with the City and other stakeholders to integrate CoC programs, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Social Services to Veteran Families (SSVF), and CDBG funding to increase the number of persons with rapid re-housing assistance. Also, other non-McKinney-Vento funding sources, such as Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP), funded under Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be matched as a source for rental / mortgage assistance for families that are homeless or at-risk of homelessness in the County’s strategy to meet this goal.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were 402
Annual Action Plan
2021
27 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The CoC implemented a Coordinated Entry System (CES) to assess homeless persons using the VI-SPDAT that tracks the length of time a client has been on the streets or in an emergency shelter. DPSS uses HUD’s CoC Program planning grant funding to measure system-wide performance in HMIS, such as length of time homeless. This is used to help the CoC prioritize and house those with longest length of time homeless. The planning process also included working with the CoC Standards and Evaluation Committee to continue developing strategies to prioritize persons with longest time homeless and most severe needs, including:

The CoC has also adopted a Housing First approach that is evidenced-based and endorsed by HUD to place a homeless person in permanent housing and provide supportive services intended to keep them stably housed.

Homeless CoC youth providers have implemented outreach and service based events in the communities to draw homeless youth, unaccompanied and transitional age into contact with services available to them. The Operation SafeHouse is the only CoC youth provider that has opened a permanent supportive housing program called the Harrison House, which is for transitional age youth, in the eastern desert region of Riverside County.

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.

The CoC Discharge Policy is mandated by the State and followed by the CoC. The CoC established a Discharge Planning Committee, responsible for implementing policies and protocols and coordinating with various organizations, to ensure that persons being discharged from a publicly-funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into homelessness. The goals are to identify discharge housing needs inclusive of housing and supportive services and to link the individual with community resources that will include mental health services, substance abuse support, and housing. The Hospital Association of Southern California Inland Area serves as the lead agency on the Discharge Planning Committee to facilitate communication regarding the discharge planning needs of homeless persons from acute care hospitals. The Riverside County University Health System – Behavioral Health, collaborates with DPSS and the CoC in the coordination and implementation of discharge planning for homeless individuals disabled by a serious mental health and/or substance abuse disorder(s). Foster Care and extended foster care programs help transition dependent youth who are emancipating from foster care to independent living. The Department of Public Social Services, Riverside Sheriff’s, and Probation Department support the Continuum of Care’s mission of working towards reintegrating 403

Introduction:

The City will continue to work with various stakeholders to meet the needs of its residents that remain in-need of CDBG-eligible activities consistent with Consolidated Plan goals.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City will continue to work toward the reduction/elimination of obstacles to meet underserved needs through the funding of various organizations that are established to provide direct services to those in need. The City is not equipped to provide direct services; therefore, funding organizations that do is essential to our success in addressing the identified goals and objectives. The City will continue to partner with service providers to address obstacles and address barriers that exist. In addition, the City works with the County of Riverside, the CoC, local agencies, nonprofits, etc. to address various aspects related to CoC programs and activities, as well as obstacles that face the underserved in general.

However, the CoC addresses issues relative to homelessness, mental and physical illnesses, domestic violence, etc. and has a wide range of members where collaboration in other areas is an option. Through these working relationships, obstacles such as lack of communication between agencies, improved services, limited resources, tracking and monitoring, and other needed resources are obtained, gaps in services are better identified, and there is a more cohesive approach to identifying and resolving issues.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City and the Palm Desert Housing Authority will continue to maintain the existing affordable housing stock through the funding sources identified previously; however, as noted with the elimination of redevelopment agencies, there is no longer what is considered “20% Set Aside Funds”. Therefore, maintaining existing properties and programs will be the primary focus, provided funding is available, for some time to come. However, new projects and programs will be planned and implemented where and when possible.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City’s Building & Safety and Housing departments distribute informational pamphlets on Lead Based Paint Hazards and refer all calls to the County of Riverside Environmental Health Department. The City addresses this issue on a case by case basis through multiple steps.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City is continuing to team up with service providers to provide assistance for poverty level families, including funding food and services options during the Program Year. In addition, the City will seek out additional partnerships for programs that encourage self sufficiency including employment and training, 406

housing options, and safety net programs.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City will continue to work with outside agencies to maintain and develop relationships, including with nonprofit organizations, private businesses, the CoC, and nonprofit organizations in the region.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to work with various County departments, agencies, and nonprofit organizations to identify and carry out goals and objectives of the CDBG Program, and to create a more cooperative working relationship with all interested parties. The City invites these groups to attend public hearings, community meetings, and special meetings that address specific programs and projects. The City has an approved Citizen’s Participation Plan that it follows in this regard. In addition, City staff regularly attends CoC meetings that involve multiple organizations and various County Departments as well as other local jurisdictions wherein discussions are held on homelessness as well as supportive services to other at risk groups of individuals and families.

The City is actively involved in multiple activities to address the needs of homeless persons, which include coordination with the Continuum of Care. For example, the City is involved in regional coordination efforts between stakeholders throughout the Coachella Valley and Riverside County.

The City has historically funded homelessness services coordinated regionally through the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG). For years, the City contributed funds to CVAG for the operation of Roy’s Desert Resource Center, which permanently closed in July 2017. Since then, CVAG has allocated its regional financial commitments for other homelessness services. The City recently 415

Identify any Agency Types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting The City attempts to keep a comprehensive list of stakeholders potentially eligible to receive CDBG funds for activities consistent with the Consolidated Plan goals. As some stakeholders undergo staffing changes, on occasion City staff is unaware of such changes throughout the program year. As a result, some stakeholders may not realize the City is attempting to consult with their organizations during the Annual Action Plan process. To mitigate this concern, City staff updates its contact list annually to ensure proper channels of communication with stakeholders. 418

Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City has not historically funded CDBG activities based upon geographic areas since there have not been eligible low and moderate-income census tracts; however, HUD recently revised the census criteria used to determine eligibility. As a result, the City now has two CDBG-eligible census tracts. City staff is currently exploring the possibility of a Section 108 Loan for City Council’s consideration in subsequent program years.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City will continue to work with nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and other stakeholders to fund activities that help prevent and reduce homelessness.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City operates a homelessness assistance program as well. The program that has a primary focus on homelessness locally. The program contracts with the Riverside University Health System to provide a Behavioral Health Specialists in Palm Desert to focus on providing homelessness services.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Housing First approach adopted by the County and CoC requires that homeless are helped into permanent housing or rapid re-housing as soon as possible. Transitional housing beds have begun to decrease countywide and permanent housing is increasing because of reallocations made in the HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application and the CoC’s success in obtaining new funding for permanent supportive housing. Both transitional housing and emergency shelters focus on lessening the time that a homeless person or family’s length of time homeless (LOTH) in the shelter by effective and quick assessment of homeless clients and getting them stabilized into permanent housing with intensive case management initially and support in the initial phase of residency in permanent housing. This period will serve as a time to address the other needs to maintain self-sufficiency either by accessing mainstream benefits, employment or medical or mental health support.

The CoC collaborates with the City and other stakeholders to integrate CoC programs, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Social Services to Veteran Families (SSVF), and CDBG funding to increase the number of persons with rapid re-housing assistance. Also, other non-McKinney-Vento funding sources, such as Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP), funded under Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be matched as a source for rental / mortgage assistance for families that are homeless or at-risk of homelessness in the County’s strategy to meet this goal.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were 437
Annual Action Plan
2022
28 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The CoC implemented a Coordinated Entry System (CES) to assess homeless persons using the VI-SPDAT that tracks the length of time a client has been on the streets or in an emergency shelter. DPSS uses HUD’s CoC Program planning grant funding to measure system-wide performance in HMIS, such as length of time homeless. This is used to help the CoC prioritize and house those with longest length of time homeless. The planning process also included working with the CoC Standards and Evaluation Committee to continue developing strategies to prioritize persons with longest time homeless and most severe needs, including:

The CoC has also adopted a Housing First approach that is evidenced-based and endorsed by HUD to place a homeless person in permanent housing and provide supportive services intended to keep them stably housed.

Homeless CoC youth providers have implemented outreach and service-based events in the communities to draw homeless youth, unaccompanied and transitional age into contact with services available to them. The Operation SafeHouse is the only CoC youth provider that has opened a permanent supportive housing program called the Harrison House, which is for transitional age youth, in the eastern desert region of Riverside County.

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.

The CoC Discharge Policy is mandated by the State and followed by the CoC. The CoC established a Discharge Planning Committee, responsible for implementing policies and protocols and coordinating with various organizations, to ensure that persons being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into homelessness. The goals are to identify discharge housing needs inclusive of housing and supportive services and to link the individual with community resources that will include mental health services, substance abuse support, and housing. The Hospital Association of Southern California Inland Area serves as the lead agency on the Discharge Planning Committee to facilitate communication regarding the discharge planning needs of homeless persons from acute care hospitals. The Riverside County University Health System – Behavioral Health, collaborates with DPSS and the CoC in the coordination and implementation of discharge planning for homeless individuals disabled by a serious mental health and/or substance abuse disorder(s). Foster Care and extended foster care programs help transition dependent youth who are emancipating from foster care to independent living. The Department of Public Social Services, Riverside Sheriff’s, and Probation Department support the Continuum of Care’s mission of working towards reintegrating 438

Introduction:

The City will continue to work with various stakeholders to meet the needs of its residents that remain in-need of CDBG-eligible activities consistent with Consolidated Plan goals.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City will continue to work toward the reduction/elimination of obstacles to meet underserved needs through the funding of various organizations that are established to provide direct services to those in need. The City is not equipped to provide direct services; therefore, funding organizations that do is essential to our success in addressing the identified goals and objectives. The City will continue to partner with service providers to address obstacles and address barriers that exist. In addition, the City works with the County of Riverside, the CoC, local agencies, nonprofits, etc. to address various aspects related to CoC programs and activities, as well as obstacles that face the underserved in general.

However, the CoC addresses issues relative to homelessness, mental and physical illnesses, domestic violence, etc. and has a wide range of members where collaboration in other areas is an option. Through these working relationships, obstacles such as lack of communication between agencies, improved services, limited resources, tracking and monitoring, and other needed resources are obtained, gaps in services are better identified, and there is a more cohesive approach to identifying and resolving issues.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City and the Palm Desert Housing Authority will continue to maintain the existing affordable housing stock through the funding sources identified previously; however, as noted with the elimination of redevelopment agencies, there is no longer what is considered “20% Set Aside Funds”. Therefore, maintaining existing properties and programs will be the primary focus, provided funding is available, for some time to come. However, new projects and programs will be planned and implemented where and when possible.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City’s Building & Safety and Housing departments distribute informational pamphlets on Lead Based Paint Hazards and refer all calls to the County of Riverside Environmental Health Department. The City addresses this issue on a case-by-case basis through multiple steps.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City is continuing to team up with service providers to provide assistance for poverty level families, including funding food and services options during the Program Year. In addition, the City will seek out additional partnerships for programs that encourage self-sufficiency including employment and training, 441

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City has not historically funded CDBG activities based upon geographic areas since there have not been eligible low and moderate-income census tracts; however, HUD recently revised the census criteria used to determine eligibility. As a result, the City now has two CDBG-eligible census tracts. City staff is currently exploring the possibility of a Section 108 Loan for City Council’s consideration in subsequent program years.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City will continue to work with nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and other stakeholders to fund activities that help prevent and reduce homelessness.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The County of Riverside CoC has established chronically homeless persons as the highest need priority based on the goals HUD has established in its Opening Doors Federal and Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. The CoC has implemented a Coordinated Entry System (CES) to ensure appropriate intervention is utilized to serve those who are homeless and providing for a prioritization of vulnerability and linkage to community resources and housing based on the vulnerability prioritization. Within the CoC, there are several outreach teams from County, cities, and nonprofit homeless providers that cover specific populations or geographic regions in the County. There is also specific outreach teams serving the mentally ill, veterans, youth and chronic homeless. The Behavioral Health Systems Department has outreach peer specialists that perform initial field assessments, in depth assessments, referrals to all contacts, linkage to various community organizations.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Housing First approach adopted by the County and CoC requires that homeless are helped into permanent housing or rapid re-housing as soon as possible. Transitional housing beds have begun to decrease countywide and permanent housing is increasing because of reallocations made in the HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application and the CoC’s success in obtaining new funding for permanent supportive housing. Both transitional housing and emergency shelters focus on lessening the time that a homeless person or family’s length of time homeless (LOTH) in the shelter by effective and quick assessment of homeless clients and getting them stabilized into permanent housing with intensive case management initially and support in the initial phase of residency in permanent housing. This period will serve as a time to address the other needs to maintain self-sufficiency either by accessing mainstream benefits, employment or medical or mental health support.

The CoC collaborates with the City and other stakeholders to integrate CoC programs, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Social Services to Veteran Families (SSVF), and CDBG funding to increase the number of persons with rapid re-housing assistance. Also, other non-McKinney-Vento funding sources, such as Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP), funded under Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be matched as a source for rental / mortgage assistance for families that are 461
City of Palm Desert PY 2023 Draft Annual Action Plan w. Substantial Amendment 2 16 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
homeless or at-risk of homelessness in the County’s strategy to meet this goal.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The CoC implemented a Coordinated Entry System (CES) to assess homeless persons using the VI-SPDAT that tracks the length of time a client has been on the streets or in an emergency shelter. DPSS uses HUD’s CoC Program planning grant funding to measure system-wide performance in HMIS, such as length of time homeless. This is used to help the CoC prioritize and house those with longest length of time homeless. The planning process also included working with the CoC Standards and Evaluation Committee to continue developing strategies to prioritize persons with longest time homeless and most severe needs, including:

The CoC has also adopted a Housing First approach that is evidenced-based and endorsed by HUD to place a homeless person in permanent housing and provide supportive services intended to keep them stably housed.

Homeless CoC youth providers have implemented outreach and service-based events in the communities to draw homeless youth, unaccompanied and transitional age into contact with services available to them. The Operation SafeHouse is the only CoC youth provider that has opened a permanent supportive housing program called the Harrison House, which is for transitional age youth, in the eastern desert region of Riverside County.

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.

The CoC Discharge Policy is mandated by the State and followed by the CoC. The CoC established a Discharge Planning Committee, responsible for implementing policies and protocols and coordinating with various organizations, to ensure that persons being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into homelessness. The goals are to identify discharge housing needs inclusive of housing and supportive services and to link the individual with community resources that will include mental health services, substance abuse support, and housing. The Hospital Association of Southern California Inland Area serves as the lead agency on the Discharge Planning 462

Committee to facilitate communication regarding the discharge planning needs of homeless persons from acute care hospitals. The Riverside County University Health System – Behavioral Health, collaborates with DPSS and the CoC in the coordination and implementation of discharge planning for homeless individuals disabled by a serious mental health and/or substance abuse disorder(s). Foster Care and extended foster care programs help transition dependent youth who are emancipating from foster care to independent living. The Department of Public Social Services, Riverside Sheriff’s, and Probation Department support the Continuum of Care’s mission of working towards reintegrating persons leaving correctional facilities to community-based living and self-sufficiency.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

The City will continue to work with various stakeholders to meet the needs of its residents that remain in-need of CDBG-eligible activities consistent with Consolidated Plan goals.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City will continue to work toward the reduction/elimination of obstacles to meet underserved needs through the funding of various organizations that are established to provide direct services to those in need. The City is not equipped to provide direct services; therefore, funding organizations that do is essential to our success in addressing the identified goals and objectives. The City will continue to partner with service providers to address obstacles and address barriers that exist. In addition, the City works with the County of Riverside, the CoC, local agencies, nonprofits, etc. to address various aspects related to CoC programs and activities, as well as obstacles that face the underserved in general.

However, the CoC addresses issues relative to homelessness, mental and physical illnesses, domestic violence, etc. and has a wide range of members where collaboration in other areas is an option. Through these working relationships, obstacles such as lack of communication between agencies, improved services, limited resources, tracking and monitoring, and other needed resources are obtained, gaps in services are better identified, and there is a more cohesive approach to identifying and resolving issues.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City and the Palm Desert Housing Authority will continue to maintain the existing affordable housing stock through the funding sources identified previously; however, as noted with the elimination of redevelopment agencies, there is no longer what is considered “20% Set Aside Funds”. Therefore, maintaining existing properties and programs will be the primary focus, provided funding is available, for some time to come. However, new projects and programs will be planned and implemented where and when possible.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City’s Building & Safety and Housing departments distribute informational pamphlets on Lead Based Paint Hazards and refer all calls to the County of Riverside Environmental Health Department. The City addresses this issue on a case-by-case basis through multiple steps.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City is continuing to team up with service providers to provide assistance for poverty level families, including funding food and services options during the Program Year. In addition, the City will seek out additional partnerships for programs that encourage self-sufficiency including employment and training, 465
City of Palm Desert PY 2023 Draft Annual Action Plan w. Substantial Amendment 2 20 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
housing options, and safety net programs.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City will continue to work with outside agencies to maintain and develop relationships, including with nonprofit organizations, private businesses, the CoC, and nonprofit organizations in the region.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to work with various County departments, agencies, and nonprofit organizations to identify and carry out goals and objectives of the CDBG Program, and to create a more cooperative working relationship with all interested parties. The City invites these groups to attend public hearings, community meetings, and special meetings that address specific programs and projects. The City has an approved Citizen’s Participation Plan that it follows in this regard. In addition, City staff regularly attends CoC meetings that involve multiple organizations and various County Departments as well as other local jurisdictions wherein discussions are held on homelessness as well as supportive services to other at-risk groups of individuals and families.

Identify any Agency Types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting The City attempts to keep a comprehensive list of stakeholders potentially eligible to receive CDBG funds for activities consistent with the Consolidated Plan goals. As some stakeholders undergo staffing changes, on occasion City staff is unaware of such changes throughout the program year.

Planned Activities This multi-phase project will entail a full remodel of each of the five restrooms on The Joslyn Center campus in order to make them fully compliant with ADA requirements and become fully handicap accessible as set forth in the report and survey of Disability Access Consultants conducted on May 21, 2018. This project will benefit all 2000+ members as well as other members of the public and guests that utilize The Joslyn Center. It is estimated that at least 500 individuals consisting of members, public and guests will directly benefit from the ADA upgrades. This request represents the second phase of this project which is the remodel of men's and women's restrooms in building two which consists of meeting rooms and the Arthur Newman Theater.

Because of rising
construction costs, it would be possible to break the remodel of the building’s two restrooms into separate projects consisting of the individual men's and women's restrooms. This option was available in the restroom remodel recently completed in building one. This choice is available by requesting responsive bidders to submit bids for both restrooms and for just one restroom. This would delay the ultimate completion of the project, but allow some flexibility because of rising construction costs. Remodeling the restrooms to ADA compliance is a priority for The Joslyn Center because many of our members experience physical disability which requires a fully accessible restroom. 4 Project Name Public Facilities and Improvements- Desert Arc Target Area Citywide

Planned Activities Desert Arc's HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Replacement Project will encompass the removal and replacement of nine (9) obsolete, rooftop HVAC units on Building 3 of its Palm Desert campus (73275 Country Club Drive). The total amount needed for the HVAC Replacement Project is $509,587.00 with roughly half of the total amount being allocated toward equipment costs at $271,187.00. The current HVAC units are 17 years-old, with an average lifespan of 15 years, and use an R-22 refrigerant coolant which will no longer be available/produced due to new EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) regulations. The old units will be replaced with new 410-A refrigerant rooftop HVAC units which can be retrofitted into the existing system's footprint. The replacement of these units is urgent for two reasons.

Firstly, the 410-A HVAC units will not be available after December 31, 2024 and the 2025 units will require additional construction and fortification to the roof of Building 3 in order to compensate for the additional weight of the 2025 units. Retrofitting the 410- A HVAC units will save crucial time and funds. Secondly, California Department of Social Services Title 22 (Division 6, Chapter 3, Section 82088) mandates that Desert Arc maintain a comfortable temperature for
clients at all times with a maximum indoor temperature of 85 degrees F or 30 degrees F less than outside temperatures in areas of extreme heat. Due to the excessive summer temperatures in Palm Desert, which can reach up to 120 degrees F, it is imperative for Desert Arc to maintain a climate controlled facility to ensure the health and wellbeing of its clients (people with intellectual and developmental disabilities) and staff while also staying in line with state regulations. 5 Project Name Public Facilities & Improvements- The Ranch Recovery Centers, Inc Target Area Citywide

Time and continuous use take a physical toll on our facilities and, while we take care to maintain and repair everything we can, there comes a point where replacement is necessary. The items requested will help improve the treatment environment for the patients in our
care, improving their safety and well-being. Additionally, a well-kept facility is beneficial for mental and emotional health. Many of our contracts only allow us to utilize contract dollars for direct treatment costs and many of our capital improvement purchases and upgrades are funded through charitable contributions.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The City of Palm Desert is located in Riverside County; particularly, the Coachella Valley. Historically, the City has not had any low- and moderate-income census tracts; however, the City now has two eligible census tracts as of recently (ACS data). CDBG funds will be used for low- and moderate-income clientele (or presumed benefit).

Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City has not historically funded CDBG activities based upon geographic areas since there have not been eligible low and moderate-income census tracts; however, HUD recently revised the census criteria used to determine eligibility. As a result, the City now has two CDBG-eligible census tracts. City staff is currently exploring the possibility of a Section 108 Loan for City Council’s consideration in subsequent program years.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City will continue to work with nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and other stakeholders to fund activities that help prevent and reduce homelessness.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The County of Riverside CoC has established chronically homeless persons as the highest need priority based on the goals HUD has established in its Opening Doors Federal and Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. The CoC has implemented a Coordinated Entry System (CES) to ensure appropriate intervention is utilized to serve those who are homeless and providing for a prioritization of vulnerability and linkage to community resources and housing based on the vulnerability prioritization. Within the CoC, there are several outreach teams from County, cities, and nonprofit homeless providers that cover specific populations or geographic regions in the County. There is also specific outreach teams serving the mentally ill, veterans, youth and chronic homeless. The Behavioral Health Systems Department has outreach peer specialists that perform initial field assessments, in depth assessments, referrals to all contacts, linkage to various community organizations.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Housing First approach adopted by the County and CoC requires that homeless are helped into permanent housing or rapid re-housing as soon as possible. Transitional housing beds have begun to decrease countywide and permanent housing is increasing because of reallocations made in the HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application and the CoC’s success in obtaining new funding for permanent supportive housing. Both transitional housing and emergency shelters focus on lessening the time that a homeless person or family’s length of time homeless (LOTH) in the shelter by effective and quick assessment of homeless clients and getting them stabilized into permanent housing with intensive case management initially and support in the initial phase of residency in permanent housing. This period will serve as a time to address the other needs to maintain self-sufficiency either by accessing mainstream benefits, employment or medical or mental health support.

The CoC collaborates with the City and other stakeholders to integrate CoC programs, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Social Services to Veteran Families (SSVF), and CDBG funding to increase the number of persons with rapid re-housing assistance. Also, other non-McKinney-Vento funding sources, such as Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP), funded under Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be matched as a source for rental / mortgage assistance for families that are 499
City of Plam Desert PY 24 CDBG Annual Action Plan- Approved 28 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
homeless or at-risk of homelessness in the County’s strategy to meet this goal.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The CoC implemented a Coordinated Entry System (CES) to assess homeless persons using the VI-SPDAT that tracks the length of time a client has been on the streets or in an emergency shelter. DPSS uses HUD’s CoC Program planning grant funding to measure system-wide performance in HMIS, such as length of time homeless. This is used to help the CoC prioritize and house those with longest length of time homeless. The planning process also included working with the CoC Standards and Evaluation Committee to continue developing strategies to prioritize persons with longest time homeless and most severe needs, including:

The CoC has also adopted a Housing First approach that is evidenced-based and endorsed by HUD to place a homeless person in permanent housing and provide supportive services intended to keep them stably housed.

Homeless CoC youth providers have implemented outreach and service-based events in the communities to draw homeless youth, unaccompanied and transitional age into contact with services available to them. The Operation SafeHouse is the only CoC youth provider that has opened a permanent supportive housing program called the Harrison House, which is for transitional age youth, in the eastern desert region of Riverside County.

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.

The CoC Discharge Policy is mandated by the State and followed by the CoC. The CoC established a Discharge Planning Committee, responsible for implementing policies and protocols and coordinating with various organizations, to ensure that persons being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into homelessness. The goals are to identify discharge housing needs inclusive of housing and supportive services and to link the individual with community resources that will include mental health services, substance abuse support, and housing. The Hospital Association of Southern California Inland Area serves as the lead agency on the Discharge Planning 500
City of Plam Desert PY 24 CDBG Annual Action Plan- Approved 29 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Committee to facilitate communication regarding the discharge planning needs of homeless persons from acute care hospitals. The Riverside County University Health System – Behavioral Health, collaborates with DPSS and the CoC in the coordination and implementation of discharge planning for homeless individuals disabled by a serious mental health and/or substance abuse disorder(s). Foster Care and extended foster care programs help transition dependent youth who are emancipating from foster care to independent living. The Department of Public Social Services, Riverside Sheriff’s, and Probation Department support the Continuum of Care’s mission of working towards reintegrating persons leaving correctional facilities to community-based living and self-sufficiency.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

The City will continue to work with various stakeholders to meet the needs of its residents that remain in-need of CDBG-eligible activities consistent with Consolidated Plan goals.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City will continue to work toward the reduction/elimination of obstacles to meet underserved needs through the funding of various organizations that are established to provide direct services to those in need. The City is not equipped to provide direct services; therefore, funding organizations that do is essential to our success in addressing the identified goals and objectives. The City will continue to partner with service providers to address obstacles and address barriers that exist. In addition, the City works with the County of Riverside, the CoC, local agencies, nonprofits, etc. to address various aspects related to CoC programs and activities, as well as obstacles that face the underserved in general.

However, the CoC addresses issues relative to homelessness, mental and physical illnesses, domestic violence, etc. and has a wide range of members where collaboration in other areas is an option. Through these working relationships, obstacles such as lack of communication between agencies, improved services, limited resources, tracking and monitoring, and other needed resources are obtained, gaps in services are better identified, and there is a more cohesive approach to identifying and resolving issues.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City and the Palm Desert Housing Authority will continue to maintain the existing affordable housing stock through the funding sources identified previously; however, as noted with the elimination of redevelopment agencies, there is no longer what is considered “20% Set Aside Funds”. Therefore, maintaining existing properties and programs will be the primary focus, provided funding is available, for some time to come. However, new projects and programs will be planned and implemented where and when possible.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City’s Building & Safety and Housing departments distribute informational pamphlets on Lead Based Paint Hazards and refer all calls to the County of Riverside Environmental Health Department. The City addresses this issue on a case-by-case basis through multiple steps.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City is continuing to team up with service providers to provide assistance for poverty level families, including funding food and services options during the Program Year. In addition, the City will seek out additional partnerships for programs that encourage self-sufficiency including employment and training, 503
City of Plam Desert PY 24 CDBG Annual Action Plan- Approved 32 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
housing options, and safety net programs.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City will continue to work with outside agencies to maintain and develop relationships, including with nonprofit organizations, private businesses, the CoC, and nonprofit organizations in the region.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to work with various County departments, agencies, and nonprofit organizations to identify and carry out goals and objectives of the CDBG Program, and to create a more cooperative working relationship with all interested parties. The City invites these groups to attend public hearings, community meetings, and special meetings that address specific programs and projects. The City has an approved Citizen’s Participation Plan that it follows in this regard. In addition, City staff regularly attends CoC meetings that involve multiple organizations and various County Departments as well as other local jurisdictions wherein discussions are held on homelessness as well as supportive services to other at-risk groups of individuals and families.
