Date: May 14, 2024
SUBJECT: TREASURER’S REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDING MARCH 31, 2024
BACKGROUND
The City’s Finance Department is responsible for managing the cash and investment portfolio for the City, Successor Agency for the Paramount Redevelopment Agency, and Paramount Housing Authority. The City’s investment policy was last revised and adopted on June 13, 2023. The California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA) certified that the investment policy of the City of Paramount complies with the current State statutes governing the investment practices of local government entities located within the State of California. The City’s primary investment objectives are to preserve the safety of principal, maintain an adequate level of liquidity, and maximize investment income while remaining consistent with the other more important objectives.
DISCUSSION
As of March 31, 2024, the City’s portfolio totaled $81,201,375. This was composed of $25,166,733 in liquid balances and $56,034,642 in investments. For the quarter, the total interest received was approximately $755,324.
The City maintains its liquid balances mainly in the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) Pool account to take advantage of the higher interest rate that averaged
5.51%, while LAIF only averaged 4.30% for this quarter. The CAMP account has a same day liquidity similar to LAIF.
The investments, which include agencies, treasuries, and certificates of deposits, have a par value of $57,209,000 with an average yield of 4.09% and maturity dates ranging from one month to five years. The City’s investments are purchased and held until maturity. For the quarter ending March, the City purchased four investments at a par value of $2,246,000. In the same period, two investments matured.
The City’s investment portfolio is in compliance with the City’s Investment Policy and has sufficient cash flow from a combination of liquid balances, maturing securities, and income to meet the City’s expenditure requirements for the next six months.

SUBJECT: CITY YARD RESTROOM RENOVATION (CITY PROJECT NO. 9375)
BACKGROUND
Included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvement Budget is funding for the City Yard Restroom Renovation project to upgrade facility restrooms. The restrooms are located throughout the City Yard in both the front building for public and staff use and the back buildings. The renovation will include replacement of fixtures, floor and wall tile, and paint.
DISCUSSION
On Thursday, March 28, 2024, the City published the Request for Proposals in the Paramount Journal and on the City’s website.
On Thursday, April 18, 2024, the Director of Public Works opened and examined the bids for the City Yard Restroom Renovation (CIP 9375) project. The bids were opened at 11:00 AM at the City Yard.
Six (6) bids were received and analyzed for completeness of the required documentation, licensing, Department of Industrial Relations registrations, and other requirements. Upon review of proposals, the apparent low responsible bid was deemed to be Corral Construction & Development, Inc. in the amount of $363,363.
A formal bid protest letter (attached) was submitted by Corral Construction & Development, Inc. requesting the rejection and disqualification of MD Plumbing’s bid proposal. During the bid analysis and proposal review process, the City of Paramount determined that the bid proposal submitted by MD Plumbing is deemed non-responsive for (1) failure to have the appropriate contractor license (Class “B” - General Contracting) to complete the work or (2) failure to list subcontractors that are to perform the General Contracting work.

Re: City Yard Restroom Renovation (CIP 9375)
M D Plumbing Bid Protest
Hello Celina
I would like to formally request that the bid submitted by M D Plumbing for the City Yard Restroom Renovation (CIP 9375) be disqualified and rejected.
State Contractor’s License, Class B, at the time of bid submittal. The contractor’s license number (688243) listed on the bid for M D Plumbing has a C36 plumbing classification, not the required class B.
Also, all the required bid documents were not returned. The required bid documents included the Bid Proposal Sheet & the Subcontractor List. The bid submitted by M D Plumbing only contained the Bid Proposal Sheet, the other required bid document (Subcontractor List) was not submitted.
Lastly, a review of Contractors State License Board records reveals that license number 688243 provided by M D Plumbing is exempt from Workers Compensation Insurance because they have certified that they have no employees. With no employees only the license holder by himself would be allowed to perform any work. A project of this scope could not realistically be completed by 1 person.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.
Thank you,
Renee Soto
President

By: Margarita Matson, Public Safety Director
Date: May 14, 2024
SUBJECT: PARADE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR HYNES D.E.S. INC. – JUNE 23, 2024
BACKGROUND
Hynes D.E.S. Incorporated has submitted a parade permit application for its Divine Spirit of the Saint Parade, scheduled for Sunday, June 23, 2024. This is an annual event that has traditionally taken place every June since 1923. Approximately one hundred and fifty people are expected to participate this year, along with two small bands and one vehicle.
For many years, the parade route departed from the Hynes D.E.S. Hall located at 7812 Alondra Boulevard at 9:30 a.m. and headed eastward from Vermont Avenue along Alondra Boulevard and then northbound on Paramount Boulevard until it reached Our Lady of the Rosary Church located at 14815 Paramount Boulevard. After attending mass, the participants would return to the Hynes D.E.S. Hall by retracing the above route.
To ensure the safety of the parade participants, Public Safety and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department would provide, on average, twelve Community Service Officers and two motorcycle deputies to work the event. Hynes D.E.S. Inc. would reimburse the City of Paramount approximately $3,500 to cover the cost of the resources the City provided.
In 2016, Hynes D.E.S. used an alternate route that kept them away from Paramount Boulevard for most of the parade to reduce personnel costs and enhance the safety of the parade patrons. This reduced the risk of accidents occurring during the parade route.
DISCUSSION
For this year’s parade operations, Hynes D.E.S. Inc. has agreed to the use of eight private motorcade units (i.e. funeral escorts) for their parade. This is based on a recommendation from the City’s contracted Traffic Engineer and Public Safety Director. Along with the eight motorcade units, the City will provide twelve Public Safety Officer Units (Community Service Officers and Code Enforcement) to work the event with a supervisor overseeing the operations. The City will also require Hynes D.E.S. to acquire liability insurance and make the City of Paramount, its officials, officers, employees, and agents additionally insured parties.
Agenda Report May 14, 2024
PARADE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR HYNES D.E.S. INC. Page 2
The group will depart from Hynes D.E.S. Hall at 10:30 a.m. and head northbound on Vermont Avenue. The parade will then turn eastbound on Madison Street and northbound on Colorado Avenue. Once it reaches Somerset Boulevard, the parade will go eastbound and enter the Paramount Sheriff’s Station parking lot’s south entrance. The parade will continue northbound through the parking lot and conclude at the north end of the business park along Paramount Boulevard. Participants will then walk on the sidewalk on Paramount Boulevard to enter Our Lady of the Rosary Church, located at 14815 Paramount Boulevard. Mass is scheduled at 11:30 a.m. for the participants. At approximately 12:30 p.m., after attending mass, the participants will then return to the Hynes D.E.S. Hall by retracing the above route. Please refer to the parade map (Attachment A) and a copy of the parade application (Attachment B).
FISCAL IMPACT
None. Hynes D.E.S. Inc. has been notified that this year’s reimbursement amount will be approximately $2,475 for the cost of non-sworn City officers working the parade.
VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 1: Safe Community - Provide a safe place to live, work, and visit.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the parade permit application with the understanding that Hynes D.E.S. Inc. will reimburse the City approximately $2,475, acquire appropriate liability insurance, and contract with a third-party motorcade agency to provide eight motorcade units for the event.

SUBJECT: AFFIRMING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 BUDGET FOR THE USE OF
FUNDS PROVIDED BY THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY
ACT OF 2017 (SB 1)
BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor of California signed Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, also known as the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). Funded through a per gallon fuel tax and vehicle registration fees, SB 1 provides additional state funding to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on highways and local streets.
DISCUSSION
The City of Paramount is projected to receive approximately $1,280,500 in RMRA funds in Fiscal Year 2024-2025. Pursuant to Street and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2034, prior to receiving an apportionment of funds, each city or county is required to have identified RMRA eligible capital projects by resolution adopted by the City Council. As we prepare our Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget, it is necessary to identify an SB 1 funded project.
The City prepares a Pavement Management Plan every five (5) years to assess the condition of our streets citywide. This Plan was recently updated in Fiscal Year 2022- 2023, and it is used annually in the selection of streets that are to be part of our Annual Neighborhood Street Resurfacing Project.
The Neighborhood Street Resurfacing project will be included in the adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 using SB 1 funds. The following streets are proposed to be overlay as part of this project:
Street Location Beginning End
Jefferson Street Garfield Avenue Georgia Avenue
Adams Street Paramount Boulevard Vermont Avenue
Senate Bill 1 includes a “maintenance of effort” requirement for local funds contributed to street and road repairs to help ensure that the new funding augments existing budgets Agenda Report May 14, 2024
RESOLUTION NO. 24:010 Page 2
for road repairs. Specifically, it requires each city to spend no less than the annual average from its General Fund during the base years of FY 2010 through FY 2012. If a city has a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score of 80 or higher, it may spend the funds on other transportation priorities.
The City of Paramount’s PCI is currently at 70, or “Very Good” under the Corps of Engineers standard rankings. A PCI of 70 is considered a desirable level for an average PCI and is consistent with many of our neighboring cities. With the additional funding from SB 1, we will continue to augment our regularly planned street repairs in order to increase our PCI.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is currently no fiscal impact to the FY2024-25 Budget.
VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 5: Attractive and WellMaintained Infrastructure - Develop and maintain City-owned infrastructure, parks, facilities, and amenities that enhance quality of life and the attractiveness of the community.

RESOLUTION NO. 24:012
Attachment A
To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Adriana Figueroa, Public Works Director
Date: May 14, 2024
SUBJECT: EMERGENCY APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENTS WITH SOFFA ELECTRIC, INC AND PUREFLOW
FILTRATION DIV. FOR WATER WELL PROGRAMMING SERVICES
RELATED TO WELL 16 (CITY PROJECT NO 9116)
BACKGROUND
Water Well 16 started construction in 2020 and has been under development since. Well 16 is a 3,400 gallons per minute high capacity well that includes the required treatment systems to support the City’s potable water needs. This project faced many delays starting with the COVID-19 pandemic, equipment manufacturing delays, and State required additional treatment systems, which have all been completed.
The general contractor for this project is MMC, Inc. In addition to those delays stated above, City staff also noticed additional delays with the project in 2023 that were directly caused by MMC’s lack of experience in project management. Demand letters were sent to MMC, Inc., in May and July of 2023 to address this issue and bring the project to completion. However, project management staffing from MMC, Inc., continued to deteriorate. In November of 2023, the City enlisted the services of Hazen and Sawyer to facilitate project management activities. This provided staff with much-needed project coordination, but not sufficient progress was achieved with regards to the final start-up procedures, including well programming, and all related close out activities.
A critical phase of the project is the water well programming services, which were performed by MMC’s subcontractor last year. However, that work was never finished and lacked functionality. Earlier this year MMC brought on a different programmer, SOFFA Electric Inc. (SOFFA), who was able to advance the earlier system program. Given consistent project delay issues with MMC, a final demand notice to cure was issued to MMC in February 2024. That notice to cure gave MMC until the end of March to finish all outstanding work, including the system programming. MMC requested an extension of one week for an April 5, 2024 completion date, which was approved by the City in an effort to assist in completion of the project. Unfortunately, MMC failed to meet the April 5 th deadline; consequently, the project has not yet been completed and the system program remains unfinished.
Agenda Report May 14, 2024
SOFFA ELECTRIC INC. / PUREFLOW FILTRATION DIV. (CIP 9116) Page 2 The California Green Book, which governs public contracts, allows the local agency to procure professional services and direct the general contractor to utilize those services in order to complete the project. Specifically, Section 6-2 titled “Prosecution of the Work” allows the public agency to take over the work required and deduct the cost from the monies due to the contractor.
DISCUSSION
SOFFA is an experienced and qualified water well programmer who has already been working on Well 16’s program and has advanced the original program. Given this, staff is recommending a sole source approach under emergency conditions in order to continue the work that has already been started. This water well programming is critical to the start up process of the well to secure the necessary permits to bring this new water well into service for our municipal water system. Staff solicited an estimate from SOFFA to continue the programming for Well 16 and that estimate totals $83,200. Once contingency is added, that brings the total to $91,520.
Programming Cost: $ 83,200
Contingency: $ 8,320
Total: $ 91,520
Additionally, this work needs to be coordinated with the treatment system subcontractor, Pureflow Filtration Div. Pureflow has submitted a quote to assist during the programming phase and that service totals $21,000.
Treatment System Coordination Cost: $21,000
Contingency: $ 2,100
Total: $23,100
FISCAL IMPACT
As per Section 6-2 of the California Green Book, the combined total contract amounts of $114,620 will be paid using MMC, Inc’s project retention deposit. Currently, that retention amount has a balance of $351,136.11. Therefore, there is no additional fiscal impact to the budget.
VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 5: Attractive and WellMaintained Infrastructure - Develop and maintain City-owned infrastructure, parks, facilities, and amenities that enhance quality of life and the attractiveness of the community.

SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 1186/ZONE CHANGE NO. 248
8225 ALONDRA BOULEVARD
BACKGROUND
Request
This item is a request by Dr. Eugene Allen to replace Ordinance No. 717/Zone Change No. 147 to allow an urgent care facility and activities and services for disabled youth at 8225 Alondra Boulevard in the PD-PS (Planned Development with Performance Standards) zone.
On May 1, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the zone change.
The Development Review Board is expected to review a related application, Development Review Application No. 24:005, in June 2024. Additionally, a conditional use permit (CUP) application from the applicant is forthcoming.
Zone changes are processed in compliance with State law and Chapter 17.52 of the Paramount Municipal Code. The Planning Commission decision is a recommendation to the City Council.
Since 2007, the applicant has operated a medical clinic in Paramount, first at 16415 Colorado Avenue #104 before relocating to 15745 Paramount Boulevard in 2016.
Ordinance No. 717/Zone Change No. 147
In 1987, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 717, approving Zone Change No. 147.
This approval changed the zone from C-3 (General Commercial) to PD-PS (Planned Development with Performance Standards) at 8225 Alondra Boulevard. As stated in the zone change document, the intent of the uses in this PD-PS zone was to include retail commercial establishments (excluding uses involving the sale of food) and professional offices.
The existing PD-PS zone regulations are attached.
Agenda Report May 14, 2024
ORDINANCE NO. 1186/ZONE CHANGE NO. 248 Page 2
Site Description
The subject property, located at the northwest corner of Alondra Boulevard and Virginia Avenue, is 25,540 square feet in area. A 13,530 square foot building, constructed in 1980, occupies the site. An interior design business owned by the current property owner is winding down. A bookkeeping business that operates from the building is expected to remain until Dr. Allen begins construction.
A residential neighborhood zoned R-2 (Medium Density Residential) is to the north, a legal nonconforming residence in the C-3 zone is to the west, a self-serve carwash is to the south, and an office building is to the east.
DISCUSSION
Project Description
The applicant is proposing to repurpose the existing building as a new urgent care medical office, along with various other community related uses for education, after-school classes, and tutoring.
Regarding the urgent care component, Dr. Allen’s office would total 2,194 square feet.
This area is comparable to the 2,000 square foot medical office that Dr. Allen currently occupies on Paramount Boulevard. The proposed urgent care would operate Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Additional elements in the remainder of the building include children’s play areas, a music studio, a karate studio, and a large-scale sculpture. A proposed “Body and Mind” youth program would operate Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. A proposed “Faith, Perseverance, Resiliency, and Success” youth program would operate Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and on Saturday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
The site currently provides 30 parking stalls, including 28 standard stalls and 2 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) stalls. An oversized parking space is provided for van parking.
As previously mentioned, the applicant will be required to obtain an approved conditional use permit from the Planning Commission prior to opening for business. All aspects of these proposed uses, including days and times of operation, will be evaluated and considered under the CUP application process.

Agenda Report May 14, 2024
ORDINANCE NO. 1186/ZONE CHANGE NO. 248 Page 4
Zone Change Description
The proposed zone change primarily adds the following as possible uses:
• Studios (dance and fitness, martial arts, recording, art, and music). • Children’s play areas associated with education and/or tutoring – with Conditional Use Permit.
• Medical, dental, and optometrist uses, including urgent care facilities – with Conditional Use Permit.
• Services and programs for persons who have one or more disabilities – with Conditional Use Permit.
• Youth activity programs – with Conditional Use Permit.
Other proposed changes include incorporating regulations that have been adopted for traditional commercial zones in recent years. Examples include drought tolerant landscaping requirements, the prohibition of window security bars and other specific window coverings, the prohibition of razor wire and barbed wire, and clarifying that housing is not a permitted use.
Agenda Report May 14, 2024
ORDINANCE NO. 1186/ZONE CHANGE NO. 248 Page 5
Environmental Assessment
Blodgett Baylosis Environmental Planning, an environmental planning firm, prepared an analysis in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines. The zone change is exempt from the provisions of the California (b)(3) – general rule that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment for other properties. The associated project is a Class 3 (new construction or conversion of small structures) Categorical Exemption pursuant to Article 19, Section 15303 of CEQA Guidelines.
Summary
As described by the environmental assessment, the proposed use would not result in any significant increased capacity, changes in operation, or increased employment. A satisfactory amount of parking spaces as determined through the conditional use permit process will be provided. Site access and circulation would not change. In addition, no significant new construction would occur other than that required for the proposed interior tenant improvements. At the completion of construction and once occupied, the proposed project would not significantly raise ground-borne noise levels (also to be included a condition of approval of the conditional use permit). The project would not be out of character with the General Plan, which the City Council most recently updated in 2007.
Furthermore, additional review and potential conditions of approval will be considered with Development Review Application No. 24:005 and the forthcoming conditional use permit application.
FISCAL IMPACT

SUBJECT: HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GUIDELINES UPDATE
BACKGROUND
Since 1982, the Home Improvement Program has assisted income-qualified Paramount households to improve the exterior of their owner-occupied, single-family homes by providing a grant and loan, as needed. In 2022, the City Council approved an expansion of the program to include mobile homes on fixed foundations. Federal HOME Investment Partnership funds were the sole funding source for the program from 2013 until May 2023, when the inclusion of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds was approved by Council to further enhance the program.
Home Improvement Program guidelines are periodically updated to meet the needs of Paramount residents and to keep up to date with the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements and best practices. The item before you this evening is a request to update the program guidelines by raising the maximum grant award and eliminating the owner contribution requirement. The maximum grant award has remained unchanged since the City Council last approved such changes in 2007.
DISCUSSION
The need to update the program guidelines stems from the continued rise in construction costs due to inflation (materials, and labor). The maximum grant award amounts have remained the same, $24,300 per household (Income qualifying Senior Citizen), and $21,600 (Low-to-Moderate-Income household) respectively. The increased construction costs, along with the requirement of an owner contribution (up to 20%) have hindered residents from benefiting from the program.
Homeowners are being tasked with having to eliminate many of the much-needed items from their project work scope to remain under the current grant threshold and lessen the burden of their out-of-pocket costs. The intent of the program has always been to correct hazardous structural conditions; make improvements considered necessary to eliminate blight and improve disability access; and to correct building and health code violations.
These work items are high-cost ticket items, which in most cases, far exceed the current grant and loan amounts afforded to a qualified homeowner.
Agenda Report May 14, 2024
HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GUIDELINES UPDATE Page 2
Current Program Guidelines
Grant funds only apply toward City-approved improvements, and applicants must meet strict guideline criteria as an income-qualifying senior (at least 62 years of age with household income at or below 80% of area median income), or as a low-to-moderateincome household (50% of the area median income for a particular household size).
There are two funding options available under the Home Improvement Program:
Income Qualifying Senior Citizens: A grant in the amount of $24,300 per household with the owner contributing 10% of the overall cost of construction, along with a zero-interest loan from a range of $2,000 up to a maximum of $8,000 if the owner is unable to meet their 10% contribution.
Low-to-Moderate-Income households: A grant in the amount of $21,600 per household with the owner contributing $20% of the overall costs of construction, along with a zerointerest loan from a range of $2,000 up to a maximum of $8,000 if the owner is unable to meet their 20% contribution.
Proposed Program Guidelines
The City is proposing to update the program guidelines to eliminate the owner contribution requirement and increase the maximum grant award and loan amount. The updated program guidelines and program application (Exhibit A) would also incorporate all the most recent HUD requirements and best practices.
The proposed funding options under the Home Improvement Program are:
All Approved Applicants: A maximum grant amount of $30,000 with an option of a zerointerest deferred loan in the maximum amount of $15,000.
Summary
The average cost to rehab a home is $32,481 (excluding delivery costs). Under the current Home Improvement Program, the total grant award of $21,600 and loan amount of $8,000 give an income qualifying resident a maximum of $29,600; therefore, a homeowner would have an additional out-of-pocket cost of $2,881.
The proposed update to the program will increase the grant award to $30,000 and loan amount of $15,000 for a combined total of $45,000. By eliminating the owner contribution, increasing the grant award, and loan amount, income qualifying Paramount residents would be able to not only make the necessary repairs such as replacement of a roof, addressing electrical hazards, but also address aesthetic items that enhance the home’s curb appeal.
Agenda Report May 14, 2024
HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GUIDELINES UPDATE Page 3
The increased grant amount coupled with the loan option offers a greater opportunity to have an immediate impact in addressing building and safety issues, needed exterior improvements, and ADA compliance.
FISCAL IMPACT

I. OVERVIEW OF PROGRAM
A. Purpose, Goal and Objective of Program
The purpose of the Home Improvement Program is to provide grants and loans to homeowners of owner-occupied detached single-family homes or mobile/manufactured homes on fixed foundations for the preservation of decent, safe, and sanitary housing; to correct hazardous structural conditions; make improvements considered necessary to eliminate blight and improve handicapped access; and to correct building and health code violations. Grants and/or loans shall be used to cover the cost of necessary housing improvements. Detailed eligibility criteria are outlined under Section II.
B. Source of Funds
The City of Paramount acts as an agent for and is the recipient of the Federal Government's Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME) funds.
These funds are targeted to benefit low- and moderate-income persons and to eliminate slum and blight.

SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 ONE-YEAR ACTION
PLAN FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
AND HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS (HOME) PROGRAMS
BACKGROUND
In May 2022, the City Council approved the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan (FY 2022- 2026), which identifies objectives and strategies, along with the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. As a recipient of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the City is required to prepare a yearly Annual Action Plan that identifies the specific activities that will use CDBG and HOME funds to achieve certain outcomes related to the established objectives.
DISCUSSION
One-Year Action Plan (FY 2024-2025)
The One-Year Action Plan (FY 2024-2025) is the third of five annual plans implementing the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan’s strategic goals via the investment of annual allocations of CDBG and HOME funds from HUD. The Action Plan identifies available resources, annual goals, projects, and activities for the period beginning July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025. For the 2024-2025 program year, the City is expected to receive $761,014 of CDBG and $303,074 of HOME funds from HUD. Should there be any change to the formula grant allocations, adjustments to the One-Year Action Plan budget will be made proportionally and in compliance with regulatory requirements.
The One-Year Action Plan identifies the following CDBG and HOME activities to be implemented during the next fiscal year.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
On May 3, 2022, the Paramount City Council adopted the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan, which described the City’s housing and community development needs, strategies, and activities to address those needs over a five-year period using entitlement grant funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 2024-2025 Action Plan is the third of five annual plans implementing the 2022- 2026 Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals via the investment of annual allocations of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds from HUD. The Action Plan identifies available resources, annual goals, projects and activities for the period beginning July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025.
The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, awards grants and loans to nonprofit, for-profit or public organizations for programs and projects in furtherance of this Plan. The CDBG and HOME programs generally provide for a wide range of eligible activities for the benefit of low- and moderate-income Paramount residents, as discussed below Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created the CDBG Program. The primary objective of the CDBG program is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income. The CDBG regulations require that each activity meet one of the following national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons; or
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or • Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency (usually the result of a natural disaster).
Each year, the City certifies with the submission of its Annual Action Plan that it has given maximum feasible priority to activities, which meet the first and second objectives above. Additionally, the City certifies that no less than 70 percent of the CDBG funds received, over a three-year certification period, will be designed to benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program
The Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 created the HOME program to expand the supply of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households. Often used in partnership with local nonprofit housing development organizations, the HOME program can support a wide range of affordable City of Paramount - 5 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
housing activities, including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating rental and ownership housing or providing direct rental assistance to low- and moderate-income people. 2024-2025 Program Year
For the 2024-2025 program year, the City will receive approximately $761,014 of CDBG and $303,074 of HOME funds from HUD. The 2024-2025 Action Plan allocates $1,064,088 of CDBG and HOME funds in addition to $165,000 of available unallocated CDBG funds for a grand total of approximately $1,229,088 funds to the following program activities to be implemented from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. 2024-2025 CDBG PROGRAM
Alley Improvements $415,000
CDBG Home Improvement Program $244,660
Senior Enrichment Program $114,152
Fair Housing Services $16,000
CDBG Program Administration $136,202
CDBG TOTAL: $926,014
2024-2025 HOME PROGRAM
Home Improvement Program $227,306
Community Housing Development Organization $45,461
HOME Program Administration $30,307
HOME TOTAL: $303,074
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The priority needs and goals identified in the Plan are based on analysis of information including the results of the City’s Resident and Stakeholder Surveys and the housing and community development data elements required by HUD in the online Consolidated Plan system (eCon Planning Suite). Data supplied by HUD includes the 2013-2017 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) covering the same time. Other sources of information used to identify needs and establish priorities were obtained through consultation with local nonprofit agencies and cited publicly available data.
In consideration of community input and available data, the four priority needs listed below are established as part of this Plan:
• Improve neighborhoods, address inaccessible public facilities and infrastructure • Promote economic opportunity
• Preserve the supply of affordable housing
• Provide service to low-income residents, those with special needs, and the homeless City of Paramount - 6 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
Consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG and HOME programs to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, the priority needs listed above will be addressed over the next five years through the implementation of activities aligned with the following measurable goals included in the Strategic Plan section of this Plan:

3. Evaluation of past performance
The City is currently implementing the project and activities included in the 2023-2024 Action Plan. As of this writing, all projects and activities are underway.
The investment of HUD resources during the 2017-2021 program years was a catalyst for positive change in the community. Together with other federal, state and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City and its partners to:
City of Paramount - 7 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
• Preserve and improve the existing housing stock;
• Provide fair housing services;
• Provide quality supportive services to low- and moderate-income, special needs, and homeless and at risk of homelessness residents;
• Contribute to the well-being of individuals, families, and neighborhoods by maintaining clean, well operating, up to code public infrastructure and facilities; and • Provide economic opportunity.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process The Consolidated Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91 provide the citizen participation and consultation requirements for the development of the Consolidated Plan. Chief among those requirements is the need to consult with the Continuum of Care (CoC) to address homelessness, Public Housing Authorities (PHA), business leaders, civic leaders, and public or private agencies that address housing, health, social service, victim services, employment, or education needs of low-income individuals and families, homeless individuals and families, youth, and/or other persons with special needs. Information supplied by these community stakeholders, together with the data supplied by HUD resulted in a well-informed planning document that reflects the housing, community and economic development needs and priorities for the City of Paramount over the next five years.
From October 2021 through May 2022, the City held a community meeting, public hearing, and conducted surveys to afford citizens and local and regional organizations representing low- and moderate-income residents the maximum feasible opportunity to provide input on the housing and community development needs of the City. The resident and stakeholder surveys solicited input from residents and employees working in Paramount. The questionnaire addressed the level of need for various types of improvements that could potentially be addressed with CDBG and HOME resources. The community meeting, hearing, and resident survey were publicly noticed.
5. Summary of public comments
In the development of the 2024-2025 Action Plan, the City solicited applications from fair housing service providers and City Departments to identify projects. The draft 2024-2025 Action Plan was available for public review and comment from April 11, 2024 to May 14, 2024. The City Council convened a public hearing on May 14, 2024, to receive public comments concerning the 2024-2025 Action Plan. Comments received during the public review period and at the Public Hearing are provided in “Appendix A” of this document.

1. Introduction
As part of the preparation of the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, creation of job opportunities for lowand moderate-income residents, and/or provision of services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following methods:
• Stakeholder surveys (web-based and paper-surveys)
• Individual stakeholder consultations
• Community meetings
• Public hearings
• Receipt of written comments
To gather the greatest breadth and depth of information, the City consulted with a wide variety of agencies, groups and organizations concerning the housing, community and economic development needs of the community. Each of the agencies, groups or organizations consulted is represented below. The input received from these consultation partners helped establish and inform the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan. Specific comments received from these organizations are included as Appendix A.
In the development of the 2024-2025 Action Plan, the City provided each agency with an opportunity to comment on the draft Action Plan during the public review and comment period.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)).
The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of the CDBG and HOME programs. As a result, during the development of this Consolidated Plan, the City consulted closely with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community-focused programs. Outreach efforts included surveys including specific questions associated with coordination, invitations to community meetings and follow-up in-person interviews where appropriate.
The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the preparation of the 2024-2025 Action Plan with these organizations and agencies. The City will strengthen relationships and alignment among these organizations in the implementation of projects using CDBG and HOME funds.
City of Paramount - 11 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
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 Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the lead agency of the Continuum of Care (CoC) for Los Angeles County, guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. The CoC is comprised of a network of public, private, faithbased, for-profit, and nonprofit service providers who utilize several federal, state, and local resources in providing services for homeless persons. The County and its cities, including the City of Paramount, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. The nonprofit and faith-based community plays a key role in the current CoC system. Hundreds of agencies throughout the County provide programs ranging from feeding the homeless on the street to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are available to homeless families with children as well as single men and women. The nonprofit and faith-based community also serves special needs populations, such as victims of domestic violence, veterans, persons with disabilities, and unaccompanied youth.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS

and priorities within the community, the Consolidated
Plan process included consultation with City residents, service providers, and selected departments.
Engagement was conducted through surveys and
community meetings.
Table 3 - Agencies, groups, organizations who participated Identify any Agency Types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting The City attempts to maintain a current and comprehensive list of agencies, organizations and other stakeholders and invited representatives from each entity to participate in the planning process at multiple points in the planning process. If an agency did not attend meetings or participate in surveys, it was done so by the agency’s choice.

Table 4 - Other local / regional / federal planning efforts Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(l)) To enhance coordination among the CoC, public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies, the City invited each of these entities to provide input on the needs of the community in the development of this Consolidated Plan. The City monitors CoC policy making to ensure that local efforts correspond to changes in the regional approach to addressing the needs of homeless and low-income people. Further, the Community Services Department works with recipients of the City’s community grant program to ensure a coordinated effort among service agencies in the region who address the needs of Paramount residents, including but not limited to chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, unaccompanied youth, and persons who were recently homeless but now live-in permanent housing. To the greatest extent feasible, the City of Paramount - 26 - 2024 Annual Action Plan

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation The City established and followed a process for the development of this Consolidated Plan and the Assessment of Fair Housing that included broad participation from the community. These activities were coordinated and implemented by the Planning Department with assistance from the Community Services Department and other groups. The City sought input from its residents by circulating a survey to residents inquiring about fair housing choice and community needs. The survey was available online and in hardcopy format in English and in Spanish. The City received a total of 315 responses from its Resident Survey and 8 from its Stakeholder Survey. The survey results and the English and Spanish survey forms are included in Appendix B. of the Consolidated Plan.
In accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, residents and stakeholders were able to participate in the development of the 2022‐2026 Consolidated Plan through surveys, community meetings, and public hearings. Two publicly noticed meetings were held in the fall of 2021, and one was held in the spring of 2022.
The first two publicly noticed meeting were convened on Friday, October 29, 2021 at 10 am and 6 pm to obtain the views of the community on the City’s housing and community development needs. Four written public comments were received during this hearing. On Tuesday, May 3, 2022, at 6 pm the third publicly noticed meeting was conducted before the City Council to obtain the views of the community concerning the draft 2022‐2026 Consolidated Plan. A summary of any comments received is included in Appendix B, including any comments not accepted and the reasons why (as applicable).
In accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, all public notices for community meetings, public hearings, and the availability of the resident survey were published in the Long Beach Press-Telegram, a media of general circulation in the City. Additionally, the City used social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to advertise the opportunities to participate. At each step in the process, the City was careful to ensure that low‐ and moderate‐income residents, members of minority groups, agencies involved in the provision of services to these populations, and others who are directly impacted by the programs and activities supported by the Consolidated Plan programs had the opportunity to be actively involved.
During the preparation of the 2024-2025 Action Plan, the City made the draft Action Plan available for public review and comment from April 11, 2024 to May 14, 2024. Residents were invited to review the draft Action City of Paramount - 28 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
Plan and to attend the Public Hearing or submit written comments concerning the projects and activities in the Action Plan.
Subsequently, the City made the draft Substantial Amendment to the 2024-2025 Action Plan available for public review and comment from February 28, 2024 to March 29, 2024. Residents were encouraged to review the draft Substantial Amendment and to attend the public hearing on March 26, 2024, or submit comments concerning the proposed project in the Substantial Amendment.

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
For the 2024-2025 program year, the City will receive approximately $761,014 of CDBG funds and $303,074 of HOME funds from HUD in addition to $165,000 of available unallocated CDBG funds for a grand total of approximately $1,229,088 funds to be allocated to new projects as part of this Action Plan.
HUD has not yet released the 2024-2025 Annual Allocations. For this reason, HUD has advised the City to prepare this draft document utilizing the current year annual allocation and include language detailing the methodology by which the City will reallocate funds should the 2024-2025 annual allocation increase or decrease.
If the City’s 2024-2025 annual allocation should change, a request of the City Council is being made to provide staff and the public with a methodology for which activity budgets would be adjusted. It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following language for adjusting activity budgets for the CDBG and HOME programs should the City’s 2024-2025 annual allocation change:
• Should the CDBG allocation be greater than $761,014:
o Fair Housing Services will remain at $16,000 but the CDBG Administration budget will be increased to be compliant with the 20% cap for administrative activities. o The public service activity will receive an equitable increase to be compliant with the 15% cap for public services activities.
City of Paramount - 31 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
o Balance of funds will be added to the City’s CDBG funded Home Improvement Program activity.
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024- 2025 Action Plan
• Should the CDBG allocation be less than $761,014:
o Fair Housing Services will remain at $16,000 but the CDBG Administration budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 20% cap for administrative activities. o The public service activity will receive an equitable reduction to be compliant with the 15% cap for public services activities.
o Balance of funds will be deducted from the City’s CDBG funded Home Improvement Program activity
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024- 2025 Action Plan.
• Should the HOME allocation be greater than $303,074:
o The HOME Administration budget will be increased to be compliant with the 10% cap for administrative activities.
o The CHDO activity budget will be increased to be compliant with the 15% set-aside requirement.
o Balance of funds will be added to the City’s HOME funded Home Improvement Program. • Should the HOME allocation be less than $303,074:
o The HOME Administration budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 10% cap for administrative activities.
o The CHDO activity budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 15% set-aside requirement.
o Balance of funds will be added to the City’s City’s HOME funded Home Improvement Program.

Table 6 - Expected Resources – Priority Table
City of Paramount - 33 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied City of Paramount is expected to receive HOME funding which can be leveraged with CDBG funding if used for affordable housing. The City will leverage HOME funding if future projects are presented during the next five years. The HOME program requires a 25 percent match based on fund expenditure, unless a jurisdiction meets the thresholds to have the match requirements reduced; those threshold conditions are: 1) Fiscal distress; 2) Severe fiscal distress, and 3) Presidentially declared major disasters covered under the Stafford Act. The City of Paramount has been identified by HUD as a fiscally distressed jurisdiction and has been granted a 50 percent match reduction for the fiscal year 2024-2025.
Depending on the financing structure of a given activity, it may be advantageous for the City to use CDBG funds to leverage appropriate state, local and private resources, including but not limited to those listed below.
Federal Resources
• Continuum of Care (CoC) Program
• HUD Veterans Affairs supportive Housing (HUD-VASH)
• Supportive Housing for the Elderly (Section 202)
• Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) • Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
• Youthbuild
• Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program
State Resources
• State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program
• State Permanent Local Housing Allocation
• Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods Program (BEGIN) • CalHome Program
• Multifamily Housing Program (MHP)
• Homekey
• Housing Related Parks Grant
• CalHFA Single and Multi-Family Program
• Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding
Local Resources
• Los Angeles County CoC
• Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA)
• Southern California Home Financing Authority (SCHFA)
• City of Paramount General Fund
Private Resources
City of Paramount - 34 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
• Federal Home Loan Bank, Affordable Housing Program
• Community Reinvestment Act Programs
• United Way Funding
• Private Contributions
Matching Requirements
HOME
HUD requires HOME recipients (PJ’s) to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.222, PJ’s satisfying the distress criteria established by the HOME Program regulations are provided a match reduction. The match reductions are granted due to fiscal distress, severe fiscal distress, and Presidential disaster declarations. For those PJs with both fiscal distress and Presidential disaster match reductions, the PJ may take the higher match reduction for the current fiscal year.
When a local jurisdiction meets one of the distress criteria, it is determined to be in fiscal distress and receives a 50 percent reduction of match. If a local jurisdiction satisfies both of the distress criteria, it is determined to be in severe fiscal distress and receives a 100 percent reduction of match. The City of Paramount has received a 50% match reduction from HUD, and therefore, is required to match 12.5% of HOME Funds using non-federal funds. The City of Paramount leverages HOME funds with other local and private non-federal resources.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
Land or property necessary to address the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan would need to be acquired using HUD grant funds or other resources.
Discussion
Assuming continued level funding of the CDBG and HOME programs, the City expects to spend approximately $5.3 million of CDBG and HOME funds on projects that provide decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities during the period of the five-year Consolidated Plan between July 2022 and June 2026.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically In accord with the 2024-2025 Strategic Plan, CDBG and HOME funds will not be directed to specific geographic areas within the City. Rather, resources will be available to address the needs of all low- and moderate-income residents and residents with special needs without regard to their location within the City, which is comprised of approximately 4.8 square miles. The City is primarily low-and moderate-income with nearly all Census Tract Block Groups qualifying with more than 51 percent low- and moderate-income residents.
Discussion
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its CDBG funds (excluding Administration) and HOME funds (excluding Administration) for program year 2024-2025 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people, without regard to their physical location within the City of Paramount.

The 2022-2026 Strategic Plan provides the framework for investing CDBG and HOME funds in the City of Paramount. Housing programs are a high priority need and will be addressed by activities performed under the affordable housing preservation, development, and access goal.
Expand the Supply of Affordable Housing
Paramount residents have a significant need for high quality and affordable housing. An estimated 70 percent of Paramount’s 14,340 households carry housing costs in excess of 30 percent of their income. The situation is most tenuous for the 2,565 renter households with incomes below 50 percent of AMI, which are paying over 50 percent of their income for housing. and are considered the most at risk of becoming homeless.
Preserve the Supply of Affordable Housing
As the City's housing stock ages, a growing percentage of housing units may need rehabilitation to allow them to remain safe and habitable. The situation is of particular concern for low- and moderate-income home owners who are generally not in a financial position to properly maintain their homes.
Paramount’s housing stock is aging and residents with low and/ or fixed incomes may not be financially positioned to make necessary repairs. Approximately 66 percent of Paramount’s 14,340 units of housing stock was constructed before 1980, and almost 47 percent (6,670 units) of those units were occupied by low- and moderate-income households.
Preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low- and moderateincome households is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain existing housing units that are already affordable to low- and moderate-income households in the community. Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities provide that all economic segments of the community have the means to ensure that their property meets local standards and that all Paramount residents have the opportunity to live in decent housing.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
Public housing and other assisted housing programs are part of the efforts by Los Angeles County to address the affordable housing needs of extremely low- and very low-income families in Paramount. The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) oversees HUD public housing programs for participating jurisdictions, including Paramount.
LACDA administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8), which provides rental assistance to 62 incorporated cities and towns and all of the unincorporated areas in Los Angeles County.
LACDA provides affordable housing for low-income families, seniors, and disabled persons.
The mission of LACDA is “provide safe, decent and sanitary housing conditions within a suitable living environment for very low-income and low-income families and to manage resources efficiently. The LACDA is to promote personal, economic, and social upward mobility to provide families the opportunity to make the transition from subsidized to non-subsidized housing.”
According to the 2020 HUD Picture report there are no public housing developments in Paramount. All public housing is administered via housing choice vouchers of which there are 463 in Paramount. LACDA monitors all units to ensure they are in adequate condition.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The most pressing need is the high demand for affordable housing throughout Los Angeles County. This is City of Paramount - 44 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
documented by the long waitlist, which consists of 60,000 families.
Beyond the need for affordable housing, LACDA seeks to address the needs of residents to gain access to service programs such as: job training and placement and self-sufficiency.
Actions 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 and 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 administers Family Self‐ Sufficiency (FSS) program for public conventional housing and Housing Choice Voucher program 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 Service 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 because of earned income, an escrow account in their name is established and increased earned income is deposited into this account. Escrow accounts are disbursed to the family once the family has graduated successfully from the program. Families are encouraged to utilize these funds toward educational and homeownership endeavors.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
N/A, LACDA is designated as a High Performing Public Housing Agency.
Discussion
LACDA is well-positioned to continue providing Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in the City of Paramount and throughout Los Angeles County.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed regionally through coordination of strategies carried out locally by government agencies, community-based organizations, and faith-based groups. Consistent with this approach, the City supports the efforts of Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and the Continuum of Care (CoC) and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout the County. The City will use General Funds, CDBG-CV, and HOME ARP funds to support local service providers with programs that provide homeless services and to expand the supply of affordable housing and to prevent homelessness for low- and moderate-income residents.
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 of Paramount supports the efforts of the Los Angles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA), County Continuum of Care (CoC), and its member organizations. In alignment with this strategy (link to 51 strategies approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors https://homeless.lacounty.gov/strategies/) the City has set a goal of providing public services to at risk of homelessness, homeless, and special needs residents during fiscal year 2024-2025. The City will continue to distribute General Funds, CDBG-CV, and HOME ARP funds to local nonprofit organizations serving these populations. The grants are administered by the City’s Community Services Department. The City of Paramount does not receive ESG funding. 2023 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count Results
The 2023 PIT Count reported that 75,518 people are homeless in Los Angeles County on any given night.
Overall, 2023 PIT Count illustrates a 9% percent increase in homelessness when compared to the 2022 PIT Count.
The City of Paramount is part of Service Planning Area (SPA) 6 – South Los Angeles. While the specific 2023 data for Paramount is still not available, the 2022 PIT Count reported that 180 people are homeless on any given night in Paramount and that 14,598 people are homeless on any given night in SPA 6. According to this data, Paramount accounts for 1.2 percent of the homeless population in SPA 6.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Paramount supports the efforts of the Los Angles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA), County Continuum of Care (CoC), and its member organizations to provide a spectrum of services and housing to help the homeless and those at risk of homelessness gain stability. In 2017 the City adopted a number of zoning ordinances to facilitate development of housing, shared housing, emergency and transitional shelter, and single-room occupancy housing. Furthermore, the City’s one-year goal of affordable housing preservation, development, and access addresses the underlying issue of inadequate supply of affordable City of Paramount - 46 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
housing and anticipates assisting four households. The City does not receive ESG funds.
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 City’s one-year goal of affordable housing preservation, development, and access addresses the underlying issue of inadequate supply of affordable housing and anticipates as 8 households. Furthermore, between 2017 and 2021 the City adopted a number of zoning ordinances to facilitate development of housing, shared housing, emergency and transitional shelter and single-room occupancy housing. The City does not receive ESG funds.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely lowincome 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 strategies discussed above will help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless. The City’s General Fund, CDBG-CV, and HOME ARP funds will support public services to extremely low-, low-, and moderate-income residents. CDBG and HOME funds will support the maintenance of affordable housing throughout the City and ease pressure on the local housing market to the extent possible.
Discussion
The City of Paramount is committed to using the tool at its disposal to work to meet the needs of those experiencing homelessness and at risk of homelessness. The City does not receive ESG funds. Between 2017 and 2021 the City adopted a number of zoning ordinances to facilitate development of housing, shared housing, emergency and transitional shelter and single room occupancy housing. The City plans to commit General and HOME funds to services for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness and to preserve affordable housing. Additionally, the City is committed to working with a CHDO to leverage Affordable Housing Fund resources for the creation of additional affordable housing where infill opportunities exist.
City of Paramount - 47 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
AP-75 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing. Barriers can include land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land, and monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.
Based on information gathered during community meetings, the 2022 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI), Consolidated Plan Resident Survey, the 2021-2029 Housing Element and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in Paramount are • housing affordability,
• the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing, • concentrations of racial and ethnic minorities,
• access to opportunities and exposure to adverse community factors, and • housing issues.
These barriers are interconnected. Demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply, insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing resulting in renter households carrying a housing cost burden in excess of 30 percent of AMI and/ or living in areas with low access to opportunities and high exposure to adverse community factors. In the last five years, the elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce.
According to Paramount’s 2022 AI, when compared to the region, which is defined by HUD as the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Metropolitan Statistical Area, Paramount residents of all protected class groups are more likely to be exposed to poverty, less likely to live in environmentally healthy neighborhoods, less likely to live near employment centers, and less likely to live in neighborhoods with high labor force participation and educational attainment. Most Paramount residents, 95 percent, identify ethnically as Hispanic. Compared to the region Paramount has approximately double the percentage of Hispanic, Mexican-born, and Spanish with Limited English Proficiency residents.
Hispanic residents in Paramount have relatively better access to opportunities and lower exposure to adverse community factors that non-Hispanic Black/ African American, White, and Asian/ Pacific Islander residents.
Despite majority minority status, Hispanic households and Black/ African American households are more likely to experience one or more housing problem than other groups and a lower rate of homeownership than non-Hispanic Whites and Asian/ Pacific Islander households.
City of Paramount - 48 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, this Strategic Plan calls for the investment of a significant portion of CDBG and HOME funds for the development of new and preservation of existing affordable rental housing units over the next five years. Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds, it will continue to leverage CDBG and HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources.
To promote fair housing, the following goals have been established for the City of Paramount.
Goal Program Marketing
Description Paramount shall ensure that all HUD-funded programs are marketed in high poverty areas within their jurisdiction in manners that will be accessible to residents to ensure that low-income residents and high poverty neighborhoods have best access to all program activities. Marketing shall be conducted in accordance with the City’s Language Access Plan.
Goal Promote Fair Housing Education for Tenants and Homebuyers Description Paramount shall fund and promote fair housing training for tenants, homebuyers and potential homebuyers to ensure that residents are fully informed of their rights as it relates to housing.
Goal Promote Fair Housing Education for Landlords and Realtors Description Paramount shall fund and promote fair housing training for landlords and realtors to ensure that they understand the fair housing requirements and rights of tenants and homebuyers.
Goal Maintain Fair Housing Resources on Website
Description In collaboration with the fair housing provider for Paramount, maintain a page on the City’s website that provides access to fair housing resources and documents. Further, collaborate with the fair housing provider to promote trainings and other fair housing related events.
Goal Maintain Housing and Community Development Resources List Description Establish and maintain a list of all housing and community development resources that is updated annually. This list may include services such as grant or loan programs for reasonable modifications and access to programs such as Meals on Wheels.
Discussion
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan calls for the investment of a significant portion of CDBG and HOME funds for the preservation of 50 affordable owner-occupied housing units. Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds, CDBG, HOME and other local resources will be leveraged to attract private and other available public resources for affordable housing.
City of Paramount - 49 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction
The City of Paramount’s planned investment of CDBG and HOME funds through the 2022-2023 Action Plan will address obstacles to fostering development of and maintaining existing affordable housing; evaluating and reducing lead-based paint hazards; reducing the number of families living in at or below the poverty line; developing institutional structure; and enhanced coordination among collaborative agencies and organizations. Additionally, this section will identify obstacles to meeting underserved populations needs and propose action to overcome those obstacles.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs 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 lowincome people. To address these obstacles, at least in part, the City is investing CDBG and HOME funds through the 2024-2025 Action Plan in projects that will support the preservation of owner-occupied housing units that are affordable to low- and moderate-income families. To address underserved needs, the City is allocating 100 percent of its CDBG (excluding Administration) and HOME (excluding Administration) funds for program year 2024-2025 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In the implementation of the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME funds to preserve and maintain affordable housing by operating the Home Improvement Program which provides grants and loans to low- and moderate-income homeowners of single-family detached properties and mobile/manufactured homes in the City of Paramount. It will also work to identify a CHDO to partner with to leverage other federal, state, and local funds.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
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 City of Paramount Home Improvement Program will conduct lead-based paint testing and risk assessments for each property assisted that was built prior to January 1, 1978 and will incorporate safe work practices or abatement into the scope of work as required to reduce lead-based paint hazards in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG and HOME activities meeting the goals established in the Consolidated PlanStrategic Plan and this Action Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty-level families by:
City of Paramount - 50 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
• Supporting activities to improve neighborhoods, facilities, and infrastructure; • Supporting activities to preserve the supply of housing affordable to low- and moderate-income residents; and
• Supporting activities to provide services to low-income residents, those with special needs, and the homeless.
In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start provide a pathway out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKS, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi-Cal. Together these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition, and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence, and mental illness.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional delivery system in Paramount is high-functioning and collaborative—particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable nonprofit 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 enhance this existing institutional structure, the City of Paramount will collaborate with nonprofit agencies to ensure that the needs of low- and moderate-income residents are met as envisioned within the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will continue 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 Paramount— particularly the low-and moderate- income areas.
Discussion:
In the implementation of the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME resources to address obstacles to meet underserved needs, preserve affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.

HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2)
A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows:
The City will not use any other forms of investment beyond those identified in Section 92.205.
A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
The HOME regulations (24 CFR 92.254) require the City of Paramount to place certain restrictions on HOME-assisted ownership housing in order to help preserve affordable housing throughout the City. If ownership of a property is transferred during the relevant affordability period, or the low-income owner no longer occupies the unit as a principal residence, the City must implement either resale or recapture provisions to preserve affordable housing units.
Affordability Preservation - The City imposes resale restrictions upon homes purchased with HOME First Time Homebuyer Assistance funds.
Mechanisms of Enforcement - The method of affordability preservation will be clearly stated in the written Participation Agreement with the homebuyer. In addition, covenants running with the land will be recorded and used as the mechanism to impose and enforce the affordability preservation requirements.
Period of Affordability - The HOME regulations require that assisted properties remain affordable for a minimum specified period of time, dependent on the level of HOME funds invested. The required minimum affordability periods under the HOME program are summarized below:
HOME – Minimum Affordability Periods
Less than $15,000 5 years
$15,000 - $40,000 10 years
$40,000 or more 15 years
Resale Provisions (Development Subsidy Project)
If the participant elects to sell the HOME assisted property prior to the expiration of the affordability period, the assisted unit must be made available for subsequent purchase only to another homebuyer whose family qualifies as a low-income family and will use the property as its principal residence. The City will review the qualifications of the purchaser to determine eligibility and affordability.
The affordable determinations for the property will be based on the following:
The sales price must be affordable to a household with income at or below an amount equal to 90% of the current income limits for 80% of area median income for Los Angeles County.
An affordable housing cost for the acquiring household shall be based on the lower of:
Total monthly housing costs that do not exceed 30% of monthly income, or For households at or below 80% of area median income, the product of 30 percent times 60 percent of the area median income adjusted for family size appropriate for the unit.
City of Paramount - 53 - 2024 Annual Action Plan
The participant will be allowed to receive their acquisition investment and any capital improvements. The price at resale will provide the original HOME-assisted owner a fair return on their investment. Dependent on the net proceeds for the sale, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the seller shall be entitled to receive a minimum return on their investment (down-payment and City approved capital improvements) that is at least equal to the net change in the area median income for Los Angeles County as measured from the date of their acquisition to the date of sale.
In the event of a proposed resale transaction where the only qualified low-income homebuyer(s) affordable housing cost yields a sales price that is insufficient to provide a fair return to the original HOMEassisted homebuyer, the City may use additional HOME funds pursuant to 24 CFR 92.254(a)(9) or other available affordable housing resources to assist the only qualified low-income homebuyer(s) in purchasing the housing at an affordable housing cost.
Foreclosures
The affordability preservation restrictions may terminate upon occurrence of any of the following events:
• Foreclosure
• Transfer in lieu of foreclosure; or
• Assignment of an FHA insured mortgage to HUD
The City may use purchase options, rights of first refusal or other preemptive rights to purchase the housing before foreclosure to preserve affordability. The affordability restrictions shall be revived according to the original terms if, during the original affordability period, the owner of record before the event of termination cures the default and retains ownership interest in the housing.
In the event of foreclosure of the first mortgage, the homeowner agrees that the net proceeds of a foreclosure sale (after payment of the prior mortgage) shall be paid to the City of Paramount, as payment for the amount loaned under the Loan agreement and its share in any available equity. The City shall exercise good faith efforts to salvage the project and preserve it for affordable housing.
A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
