• Provide fair housing services to 270 residents
• Provide homelessness prevention and assistance services to 15,560 residents • Provided tenant-based rental assistance to 27 senior households • Provide for progress for construction on Juniper Grove Affordable Apartments, which will provide for a total of 101 units

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.
During the program year, the City and its housing and community development partners made progress on several 2022-2023 activities as well as some multi -year activities that continued during the program year. All CDBG and HOME fund ed activities addressed specific high priority objectives identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. All CDBG-CV funded activities prepared for, responded to, or prevented the COVID-19 pandemic.
The CDBG -funded South Antelope Valley Emergency Services activit y provided much needed services through the CDBG entitlement funding and the expanded their services with CDBG-CV funding. March 4, 2020 the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued a State of Emergency and ordered all non -essential business to close due to the COVID -19 Pandemic. On March 16, 2020 SAVES adopted the COVID-19 National Emergency model to bec ome an emergency-only food distribution center. SAVES re-designed from client-choice to a no -contact drive-thru. SAVES also coordinated with local churches and community group volunteers to deliver emergency food to shut -in senior residents. The Federal Government ended the pandemic May 11, 2023, the State of California ended the pandemic Feb 28, 2023 and Los Angeles County ended the pandemic March 31, 2023. The City of Palmdale continues to serve residents affected by the pandemic. As a result, SAVES served people within all residential tracts of the City, meeting the Low and Moderate Area National Objective. During the program year 15,560 food orders were distributed to households in need.
The majority of CDBG funds were allocated to public facilities and infrastructure improvement activities to benefit low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, provide disabled access, provide facilities for homelessness prevention services , or that directly s upport affordable housing , during the program year. The project scope for the ADA Improvements at Q-12 was increased to include street improvements . Construction is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2023.
The 2019 Spot Blight Acquisition and Demoli tion activity for acquisition and demolition was completed December 2022. The ADA improvements for Legacy Commons was completed March 2023.
The 2022 HOME-funded Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) provided assistance to 27 unduplicated extremely low-income senior households (age 62 or older) experiencing a severe housing cost burden (more than 50% of household income goes to rent).
The City has been working tirelessly to prepare for, respond to, and prevent Coronavirus. During this program year the City utilized CDBG -CV funds for the 2022 Emergency Rental Assistance (COVID) Program which assisted 5 households who have been impacted by the COVID 19 pandemic.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.
The Juniper Grove Affordable Housing Project financing closed in October 2020. The City committed $728,678 of HOME funds and $250,000 of CDBG funds for site assemblance . Th e project provides for the production of 101 new affordable units, of which 5 units are HOME units, 50 units are designated for individuals experiencing homelessness, and 2 units are for managers.
It is a nticipated construction will be complete in program year 2023-2024. For Tenant Based Rental Assistance, the City supported 27 Senior households through ongoing rental assistance and an additional 5 households economically impacted by COVID -19 pandemic thro ugh a new CDBG-CV program responding specifically to Coronavirus (PR-23 records 27 households, as

reported in tables 2, 11, and 12). Additionally, the City encouraged households to apply for the California State Covid Relief Rental Assistance Program.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
In future annual action plans, the City anticipates continuing to invest HOME funds to address housing affordability for renters and homeowners through the creation of new units, rehabilitation of existing substandard units, and the provision of Tenant Based Rental Assistance to the City’s most vulnerable residents – extremely low-income senior citizens experiencing a severe housing cost burden.
The City is actively seekin g a certified CHDO with capacity to develop housing to increase the likelihood of meeting the HOME program requirement that 15 percent of each allocation be committed to a CHDO project within 24 months. The active Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program wil l ensure that HOME funds are effectively committed on time to meet HUD’s 24- month commitment deadline. As a result of these actions, the City will be able to strategically invest the remaining HOME funds in affordable housing development or rehabilitation projects at a point in time when these projects are shovel ready with all other financing commitments in place.
Include the number of extremely low -income, low -income, and moderate -income persons served by each activity where information on income by fam ily size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific obje ctives for reducing and ending homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
In Los Angeles County, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) is the lead agency coordinating the Continuum of Care (CoC). LAHSA is a joint powers authority for the City and County of Los Angeles (with the exception of the Cities of Long Beach, Pasadena and Glendale).
A ten-member Commission governs LAHSA. Each of the County’s five Supervisors appoints one (1) commissioner while the Mayor and City Council of Los Angeles app oint another five (5) members. LAHSA plans, coordinates and manages resources for t he County’s homeless programs. In addition, LAHSA provides technical assistance, data and other planning resources to many of the incorporated cities within the County, including the City of Palmdale. LAHSA develops and oversees a comprehensive strategy to address homelessness.
Additionally, in February , 2016, the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors approved an unprecedented action plan of nearly two dozen interlocking strategies , focusing on six key areas to combat homelessness. The City of Palmdale has been one of over 100 community groups, cities and county leader s who continue to actively participate in the planning and implementation of these strategies to address homelessness. As part of the County strategy, the City of Palmdale participated in a process to create a city -specific plan to prevent and combat homelessness. In addition to participating in County-wide stakeholder meetings and as a member of the Continuum of Care (CoC), the City of Palmdale participates in a regional approach to address homelessness within the Antelope Valley Service Planning Area No. 1 (SPA 1). SPA 1 covers approximately 2,500 square miles of desert and forest, from the Kern County line on the north, to the San Bernardino County line on the east, the Ventura County line on the west and the Angeles Forest on the south. The homeless count conducted by LAHSA in January 2019 estimated that the number of homeless persons in SPA 1 increased three percent to 3,293. This count indicated that the number of homeless in Palmdale had increased by 39 percent to 318 people homeless persons in 2019. A more recent count conducted by LAHSA in January 2020 estimated that the number of homeless persons in SPA 1 increased forty -four percent to 4,755.
This count indicated that the number of homeless in Palmdale had decreased by 9 percent to 289 people homeless persons in 2020. The homeless count was not conducted in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In January 2022 the number of home less persons in SPA 1 was 4,598 and 309 in Palmdale. In January 2023, the number of persons in SPA1 was 4,686 and 177 encountered in Palmdale.
The City participates in the Antelope Valley Homeless Coalition, an inter -agency council with approximately 50 participants. Through this participation, the City is able to coordinate efforts and resources with local homeless service providers including Los Angeles County’s Coordinated Entry S ystem, outreach and engagement, 2-1-1, and the Homeless Access Center in Palmdale operated by Valley Oasis. Prior to COVID-19 the City partnered with community organizations to
City of Palmdale DRAFT 2022-2023 CAPER 19
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
hold quarterly Homeless Connect days for people who are homeless or at -risk of homeless, the LAHSA Emergency Response Team provides outreach to people who are literally homeless in the community. The City partners with LAHSA and other community organizations for Project Roomkey in response to COVID-19 Pandemic.
The South Antelope Valley Emergency Services program provides food and other resources to persons experiencing homelessness and individuals and families at risk of homelessness The City allocated the full 15 percent of its 2022-2023 CDBG funds and supplemented this activity with CDBG-CV funds.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The ultimate solution to ending homelessness is permanent housing closely aligned with supportive services that ensure housing stability can be maintained. However, because the demand for affordable housing far outpaces the region’s supply, the CoC continues to rely on its emergency and transitional housing system to address the immediate needs of Los Angeles County’s homeless population. To expand the options available in the community, the County’s Homeless Initiative has expanded LAHSA-funded crisis housing to 24-hour facilities and has begun providing Rapid Re-Housing and Homeless Prevention funds to the community.
To address homeless needs in Palmdale among the 18 -24 year-old age segment, the City and Advancing Communities Together, Inc. established the Palmdale Dream Center, an 11 -unit transitional housing center with congregate activities and services designed to promote continuing education and employment for residents to achiev e self-sufficiency and permanent housing. The Coordinated Entry System for youth is Countywide and many of the County’s strategies for addressing homelessness also have a component that prioritizes transitional age youth.
Helping low-income individuals a nd families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after 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); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.
An individual or family is considered to be at-risk of becoming homeless if it experiences extreme difficulty maintaining their housing and has no reasonable alternatives for obtaining subsequent housing. Circumstances that can cause homelessness include eviction, loss of income, insufficient income, disability, increase in the cost of housing, discharge from an institution, irreparable damage or deterioration to housing, and fleeing from family violence.

During 2022-2023, the City and Valley Oasis used HOME fun ds to implement the TBRA Program to provide assistance for extremely low-income elderly residents who are experiencing a severe rent burden. In response to COVID -19 pandemic t he City as a CDBG-CV program to provide emergency rental assistance, to support households experiencing economic impact as a result of the Coronavirus.
The City provided funds to South Antelope Valley Emergency Services (SAVES), which provides emergency shelter (motel vouchers) and food to eligible low-income persons, homeless persons, and emancipated youth. SAVES distributes food and clothing to individuals and households at risk of becoming homeless. SAVES provides referral services to partners for job placement, health, educational/training, and social service needs. Additionally, SAVES collaborates with local community partners to offer a continuum of services on -site by providing office space free of rent. During this program year, SAVES expanded services to provide support to the array of households experiencing econo mic impact from the COVID -19 pandemic. SAVES conducted drive-thru emergency services and coordinated with an array of community partners to create drive-thru resource fairs. Information provided to residents included outreach and referral to the Census, the SNAP application process , and information on housing services, including services from rental assistance to tenant rights legal assistance, as well as medical servi ces and vaccination opportunities. SAVES utilizes volunteer workers and Los Angeles County Transitional Subsidized Employment (TSE) program participants providing the opportunity to build job skills and experience in a warehouse/food pantry setting and training in general office skills.
The City supports America’s Job Center of California (AJCC) previously known as the South Valley WorkSource Center or One Stop Center centrally lo cated in Palmdale. The Center provides comprehensive employment, training and educational services to employers and job seekers.
The Housing Rights Center uses CDBG funds to provide fair housing, tenant/landlord mediation and legal services for residents through attorney consultations , and preparation of legal documents for the residents to represent themselves in family law and landlord/tenant actions.
Some of these services are provided to prevent undue evictions that could lead to homelessness.
Palmdale is included in the Los Angeles County Development Authority’s (LACDA) efforts to provide Section 8 rental assistance to extremely low - and very low-income households located within the City limits. The Section 8 program gives priority to households that are at risk of becoming homeless or currently residing in inadequate housing.
During 2022-2023, the Housing Authority of the City of Palmdale continued a contract for the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program utilizing Housing Asset Funds to provide short- and medium -term rental assistance and other appropriate activities for homeless prevention and rapid rehousing of persons who have become homeless. Implementation began in January, 2019 and in the current year has assisted fifteen unduplicated households.

In support of CoC efforts, th e 2020-2024 Strategic Plan provides for the use of C DBG funds to support activities implemented by local nonprofit organizations that provide services to help prevent and eliminate homelessness, including families at risk of homelessness . The City will provide CDBG funds to South Antelope Valley Emergency S ervices (SAVES) and HOME funds to Valley Oasis for the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program. HOME funds are also used to promote affordable housing development and preservation efforts. Additionally, the Homeless Prevention Rapid Rehousing Program funded by Housing Asset Funds will continue to provide assistance to rehouse households experiencing homelessness, as well as prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless. In response to COVID-19 pandemic, the City has utilized HOME funds to implement a TBRA program, and CDBG -CV funds to implement a Business Assistance Program and a Mortgage Assistance Program, Emergency Rental Assistance COVID Program, as well as supplement the SAVES program. The City is also encouraging residents to apply for other funding available in response to the Coronavirus, including the State of California’s COVID Relief Rental Assistance Program.

Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City of Palmdale Hous ing Authority was formed in 1994 under State of California Housing Authority Law to actively improve existing neighborhoods and develop affordable housing opportunities using local, state and federal resources. The Palmdale Housing Authority does not administer Section 8 and does not own HUD Public Housing; however, the City is within the service area of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA ) for the purposes of Section 8 and Public Housing. During the 2022-2023 program year, LACDA continued to serve the needs of residents through Section 8 vouchers and public housing.
In recognition that the U.S. Census Bureau projects that the elderly in California will have an overall increase of 112 percent from 1990 to 2020, LACDA has made changes to address the need for the growing senior population. In August of 2013, HUD approved LACDA’s application to designate 13 public housing senior developments as housing for elderly families only (62 years or older).
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
LACDA actively encourages residents to be involved in the organization through resident councils and active participation in housing authority decisions via surveys an d other forms of engagement. LACDA also maintains quarterly newsletters for Section 8 tenants, public housing residents, and Section 8 property owners.
LACDA encourages residents to explore homeownership opportunities. LACDA currently administers the Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) program for public conventional housing and Housing Choice Voucher progr am residents. The FSS program provides critical tools and supportive services to foster a resident’s transition from financial and housing assistance to economic and housing self-sufficiency, most importantly homeownership.
To support this effort, LACDA utilizes marketing materials to outreach and further promote the program’s requirements and benefits to all public housing residents. For families that are eligible to participate, a Contract of Participation (COP) is prepared to govern the terms and conditions of their participation and an Individual Training Serv ice Plan (ITSP) is created that outlines the following: supportive services to be provided, activities to be completed by the participant, and agreed upon completion dates for the services and activities. The COP is valid for five years and may be extended to allow the family to meet their ITSP goals.
Once the COP is established and the family experiences an increase in tenant rent as a result of earned income, an escrow account in their name is established and increased earned income is deposited into thi s account. Escrow accounts are disbursed to the family once the family has

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliora te the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) The two primary barriers to affordable housing identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan include housing a ffordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing . As discussed in the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan section, a significant portion of the monetary resources that were used for affordable housing in the past included tax increment financing through the former redevelopment agency that was eliminated as a result of change s in State policy.
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, t he Strategic Plan called for the investment of a significant portion of CDBG and HOME funds for the development of 101 new affordable rental housing units, 56 homeownership housing units, and the rehabilitation and preservation of 5 existing affordable housing units over the five-year period of the plan. The current CDBG and HOME investments in progress or completed during this program year that will either directly impact housing affordability or make an indirect impact through support of new housing projects include:
• $180,364 of 2019 - 2021 HOME funds for the ongoing Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program to make rental housing units affordable to extremely-low income severely cost- burdened seniors;
• $137,102 of 2020 HOME funds for the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program to provide emergency rental assistance to hou seholds economically impacted by the COVID -19 Pandemic; and
• $175,000 of 2022 HOME funds for the ongoing Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program to make rental housing units affordable to extremely-low income severely cost-burdened seniors;
• $728,678 of 2019 and 2020 HOME funds for Juniper Grove Affordable Apartments multi- family new construction project; and $250,000 of 2019 CDBG funds to assist with site assemblance. Once complete, Juniper Grove will provide 99 affordable units and 2 manager units.
Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set -Aside funds, the City continues to successfully leverage its CDBG and HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources to create affordable housing with suitable neighborhood amenities for low- and moderate-income residents. The City worked with Meta Housing Corporation to secure Low Income Housing Tax Credits through the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee that will

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
yield $22,310,650 of Tax Credit Equity for the Juniper Grove Apartments project which includes 99 new affordable rental units for the current five-year Consolidated Plan period.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low - and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low -income people and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City invested CDBG and HOME funds through the 2022-2023 Action Plan in projects that will support the development of new rental housing units, provide Tenant Based Rental Assistance to extremely low -income and cost-burdened seniors and households economically impacted by Coronavirus, and projects that provide public services to low - and moderate -income people to p revent homelessness , and provide mortgage relief to households economically impacted by Coronavirus . To address underserved needs, 88.03 percent of the City’s 2019-2022 expenditure of CDBG and HOME funds (excluding Section 108 Debt Service and Administration) was for projects that benefit low- and moderate-income people.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing -based approaches. To reduce lead -based paint hazards, the rehabilitation of housing units built prior to January 1, 1978 includes a lead-based paint testing and risk assessment . Where lead -based paint is identified, the City ensures that developers and contractors incorporate safe work practices or abate the lead-based paint as part of the scope of work to effectively reduce lead-based paint hazards to children in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The implementation of CDBG and HOME activities meeting the goals established in the 2020- 2024 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan and th e 2022-2023 Action Plan addressed the needs of poverty-level families and made strategic investments to reduce the number of poverty -level families in the future by:
• Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low - and moderate-income households, such as the Juniper Grove Affordable Housing Project; • Supporting activities that ensure equal access to housing opportunities such as Fair Housing Services provided by the Housing Rights Center; • Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness through the South Antelope Valley Emergency Services program (including the supplemental activity in response to COVID-19 Pandemic), two TBRA program s (one operated by Valley Oasis and providing assistance to senior households and one providing emergency rental assistance to households economically

impacted by COVID-19 pandemic); as well as a mortgage assistance program providing mortgage relief in response to the Coronavirus; and
• Supporting activities that improve public facilities and infrastructure including the investment of over $ 1.9 million of CDBG funds in projects completed or under way during this program year.
In addition to these efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contributed to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start provide d Palmdale residents with pathways out of poverty as they pursued employment and educational opportunities.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The institutional delivery system in Palmdale is high -functioning and collaborative—particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable non-profit organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. Strong City departments anchor the administration of HUD grant programs and the housing, community and economic development activities that are implemented by the City.
In order to support and enhanc e the existing institutional structure, the City of Palmdale collaborated with affordable housing developers and nonprofit agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds through the 2022-2023 Action Plan to ensure that the needs of low- and moderate- income residents were met as envisioned wit hin the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan.
Efforts to enhance the institutional delivery system included continued implementation of the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program in partnership with Valley Oasis that uses HOME funds and continued work with Advancing Communities Together. These critical partnerships significantly enhance the City’s ability to implement the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and soci al service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City continued consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low - and moderate- income residents in Palmdale- particularly the low- and moderate-income areas. Representatives of the Department of Neighborhood Services participated in Antelope Valley Coalition meetings and South Antelope Valley Emergency Services coordinated its efforts with Valley Oasis and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the Conti nuum of Care Lead Agency. Additionally, the Director of Neighborhood Services and other department staff regularly participated in Neighborhood Advisory Committee (NAC) meetings during the program year to coordinate the
City of Palmdale DRAFT 2022-2023 CAPER 27
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
efforts of local nonprofits and reli gious organizations that are working in neighborhoods to address poverty through direct community engagement.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdiction’s analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) The 2020 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) adopted by the Palmdale City Council on June 2, 2020 included three impediments to fair housing choice in the 2020-2024 Fair Housing Plan. During the 2022-2023 program year, the City of Palmdale Department of Neighborhood Services and the Housing Rights Center affirmatively furthered fair housing choice through the implementation of recommendations contained within the Fair Housing Plan.
Impediment No. 1: Discrimination against Persons With Disabilities
The AI revealed that physical and mental disability fair housing discrimination complaints are the most common basis for fair housing discrimination complaints in Palmdale. To address the lack of understanding and sensitivity to the fair housing needs of physically and mentally disabled people, the City contracted with Housing Rights Center to provide virtual workshops in Palmdale and throughout the region that were geared toward disabled housing issues including reasonable accommodation and emphasizing that landlords may not refuse to rent on the basis of disability or any arbitrary factor. These w orkshops specifically addressed the housing needs and rights of persons with disabilities by expanding the base of knowledge concerning specific types of housing discrimination against the mentally and physically disabled.
Impediment No. 2: Lack of Awareness of Fair Housing Laws
The AI confirmed that there continues to be a lack of knowledge of fair housing rights and responsibilities among Palmdale residents and housing providers. Data supplied by the Housing Rights Center indicated that the number of fair housing discrimination complaints in Palmdale remained steady for the fiscal years ending J une 30, 2014 and for the period from 2015 -2019 with an average of 29 complaints per year. As a result, the Fair Housing Plan within the AI recommended enhanced outreach efforts to real estate professionals with fair housing questions or concerns in Palmdale and the region, as well as continuation of existing City efforts to increase participation in fair housing education workshops for prospec tive homebuyers, renters, and providers of housing such as multifamily management companies, independent landlords and real estate agents or brokers.
During the 2022-2023 program year, the City contracted with Housing Rights Center to provide virtual and in-person workshops in Palmdale and throughout the region . The City also worked with the Housing Rights Center to expand community participation including outreach efforts regarding fair housing workshops to renters and property managers/owners to make them aware that these workshops are available at no charge.

Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction’s program objectives and indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its experiences.
On March 4, 2020, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Department of Public Health declared a local and public health emergency in response to the increased spread of coronavirus across the country. On March 11, 2020, the City of Palmdale st arted a phased mitigation approach to delay the spread of the virus, including postponing or canceling all non - essential activities. On March 17, 2020, the City of Palmdale (City) declared a State of Emergency in the City of Palmdale in response to the increasing threat of Coronavirus (COVID-19) throughout Los Angeles County, the state and the country.
The City approved a substantial amendment to the 2019 Action Plan on June 2, 2020 for the first tranche of CDBG -CV resources ($935,276) and on February 2, 2021 for the second tranche of CDBG-CV resources ($997,619). The City began planning for CDBG-CV funded activities at the end of the FY2020-2021 program year, and launched the programs at the beginning of FY2020-2021 program year to prepare for, respond to , and prevent Coronavirus. The programs continued through the FY 2022-2023 program year.
Combined, the CDBG and CDBG-CV funds are making a significant impact on strategies to address the high priority needs identified in the community. As shown in Figure 1 in section CR-05 of this document, CDBG and CDBG-CV funds are contributing to all the Strategic Plan goals including Fair Housing Services, Homelessness Prevention and Assistance, Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements, Economic Opportunity, Affordable Housing, COVID-19 Response, and Planning and Administration.

Public Health issued a State of Emergency and ordered all non-essential business to close due to the COVID -19 Pandemic. On March 16, 2020 SAVES adopted the C OVID-19 National Emergency model to become an emergency-only food distribution center. SAVES re-designed from client -choice to a no -contact drive-thru. SAVES also coordinated with local churches and community group volunteers to deliver emergency food to shut -in senior residents. During this period, SAVES worked hard to provide food services on an emergency basis to 1) comply with Public Health orders of that period of time; and 2) expand the mission of SAVES to provide emergency services to Palmdale residents impacted by COVID-19 while keeping both staff and the public safe and healthy.
Public Facilities and Infrastructure
To improve City of Palmdale public facilities and infrastructure to benefit low - and moderate-income people or those presumed under HUD regulations to be low - and moderate-income such as elderly people and disabled adults as well as residents of low - and moderate-income housing, the City invested a large portion of its CDBG resources to address this Stra tegic Plan goal . Two out of the four public facilities and infrastructure activities with measurable accomplishment goals (excludes Section 108 Debt Service) are multi-year projects that remained in progress as of June 30, 2023. Given the nature of the improvements being undertaken, many of these projects require implementation over multiple program years.
Economic Opportunity

In response to COVID -19 Pandemic, the City provided mortgage assistance program to economically impacted low- and moderate-income households. During 2021 the program provided up to $6,000 for up to 6 consecutive months of mortgage assistance. The program has ended and no eligible households were assisted in the current program year.
Households were encouraged to apply for the California State COVID Mortgage Relief Program. During the 2022 program year, CDBG CV funds were used for a new emergency rental assistance program and 5 households were assisted in the current program year.

Homeless Count
LAHSA’s data is then reviewed and validated by HUD.
2 0 2 3 | G R E A T E R L O S A N G E L E S H O M E L E S S C O U N T LAHSA performs the largest annual PIT Count in the United States as required by the HUD for Continuums of Care
(CoC) nationwide.
• The process is designed in partnership with data experts at USC with guidance from HUD to create an accurate
census of unhoused people living in the Los Angeles CoC • The count is an imprecise estimate. It includes both
specific numbers like shelter bed counts, along with
estimates, observations, and statistical sampling.
2 2 0 2 3 | G R E A T E R L O S A N G E L E S H O M E L E S S C O U N T For the 2023 Homeless Count, LAHSA and USC took lessons learned and best practices from previous years to strengthen data quality. We improved quality assurance at deployment sites, simplified volunteer training, and improved count quality through a new digital app.
We hired a demographer and data scientist to optimize how we count and analyze data. To improve the experience, LAHSA replaced the counting app used in 2022 with one built by a vendor with years of experience developing apps for Homeless Counts across the country. This resulted in better data quality than ever before as we continue to refine and improve our approach, in the interest of a more accurate count with greater stakeholder involvement. 3 2 0 2 3 | G R E A T E R L O S A N G E L E S H O M E L E S S C O U N T Service Planning Areas (SPAs)
