APPROVING A CEQA EXEMPTION DETERMINATION, AND A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT

ELECTING TO BE SUBJECT TO THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN

THE UNIFORM PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION COST ACCOUNTING ACT

BACKGROUND
The Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (UPCCAA), Public Contract Code § 22000, et seq., established in 1983, provides alternative bidding procedures for public agencies undertaking construction and other public projects. Under California Public Contract Code requirements (§§ 20160-20174), all capital projects exceeding $5,000 in cost, including repair and replacement work, must be formally bid. The legislative intent 43 years ago when the foregoing sections were enacted was to ensure that public funds were spent prudently and that taxpayers received the maximum benefit for their tax dollars. In today’s economy, this low threshold creates inefficiencies, as staff must prepare full bid packages (e.g., design plans, specifications, estimates, and contracts) even for minor projects that could otherwise be completed quickly and with minimal administrative burden.

DISCUSSION
The City’s Municipal Code purchasing regulations do not expressly address public works projects and rely on bidding thresholds that are even lower than the State’s Public Contract Code and no longer reflect current construction and material market costs. As a result, even relatively minor public works projects routinely trigger informal or formal bidding requirements, increasing administrative workload, extending project timelines, and inflating costs.

The City’s existing bid threshold is at $2,500. Material costs alone for projects frequently exceed this $2,500 threshold requiring staff to prepare full bid packages, including plans, specifications, and contract documents, for projects that are limited in scope and readily Agenda Report February 10, 2026
ORDINANCE NO. 1216 AND RESOLUTION NO. 26:006 Page 2
understood by qualified contractors. This process reduces efficiency and delays the timely delivery of maintenance, repairs, and capital improvements.

Adopting the UPCCAA provides the City with a standardized, state-authorized framework specifically designed for public works procurement. The UPCCAA modernizes bidding thresholds while preserving accountability through statutory safeguards, including prohibitions on project splitting and defined bidding and award procedures. Adoption is necessary to align the City’s procurement practices with current market conditions while remaining fully compliant with State law. In addition, to ensure that agencies do not circumvent the provisions of the Public Contract Code, the UPCCAA has established bidding requirements that prohibit splitting projects into smaller projects, impose specific notice and advertising for informal and formally bid projects, and establish criteria for rejecting bids.

The UPCCAA authorizes local agencies to perform “Public Project Work” using its own employees by force account, by negotiated contract, or by purchase order.

Public Projects as defined by the UPCCA encompass the following work:

1. Construction reconstruction, erection, alteration, renovation, improvement, demolition, installation, and repair work involving any publicly owned, leased, or operated facility.

2. Painting or repainting of any publicly owned, leased, or operated facility Maintenance work involving routine, recurring, and usual work, including minor painting and landscape maintenance, do not qualify as Public Projects. All maintenance work, not deemed Public Project Work, is subject to the City’s existing purchasing limitations and bidding procedures under Paramount Municipal Code Chapter (PMC) 3.12.

Local agencies wishing to change to this cost threshold must elect to be subject to the Act’s cost-accounting procedures outlined in the Cost Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual issued by the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission, Electing to be subject to the UPCCAA is voluntary and open to any public agency, including cities, counties, special districts, school districts, and community college districts. Agencies that elect to participate gain the advantages of higher bidding thresholds and more efficient informal bidding processes. These benefits help accelerate project completion by streamlining contract award procedures and reducing administrative tasks such as advertising and report filing for lower cost projects. After such election, the City’s procurement of public works will be governed and bound by the procedures in the UPCCAA.

The UPCCAA bid thresholds are set forth in Public Contract Code §§ 22032 and 22034(d) and only apply to Public Projects:

Agenda Report February 10, 2026
ORDINANCE NO. 1216 AND RESOLUTION NO. 26:006 Page 3
a) Public projects with an estimated cost not exceeding $75,000 may be performed by a public agency’s employees, by negotiated contract, or by purchase order, and are exempt from both the informal and formal bidding procedures. b) Public projects between $75,000 to $220,000 may be performed by contract using the informal bidding procedures as set forth in the UPCCAA. c) Public projects of more than $220,000 shall, except as otherwise provided in the UPCCAA, be let to contract by formal bidding procedures under the City’s current formal bidding procedures.
*If all informal bids received exceed $220,000 by a sum that is less than $15,000, the governing body of the public agency may by adoption of a resolution by a fourfifths vote, award the contract, at $235,000 or less, to the lowest responsible bidder, if it determines the cost estimate of the public agency was reasonable.

The informal bid procedures as specified in the UPCCAA differ from the requirements for formal bidding for projects, which are more than $220,000 in two keyways:

1. Reduced Documentation Requirements: Informal bid invitations do need to be as detailed as formal bid packages. However, PCC 22034(b) allows the City to describe a public project in general terms.

2. Limited Distribution Requirements: Informal bid invitations need to be sent only to qualified contractors on a list adopted by the City on an annual basis or to select contractor trade journals (or both). Invitations to bid do not need to be printed in the newspaper.

For the City of Paramount to legally use UPCCAA bidding procedures, the City must adhere to the policies and guidelines developed by the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission. Specifically, the City must adopt a resolution electing to become subject to the UPCCAA procedures, notify the State Controller of that election, and adopt an ordinance enacting the UPCCAA’s informal bidding procedures.

Benefits of Opting into the UPCCAA
The UPCCAA does not repeal or replace the City’s existing purchasing Ordinance; rather, it supplements the Ordinance by providing alternative bidding procedures specifically for Public Projects.

Historically, the City has relied on its existing purchasing policy Ordinance for all Public Projects and had not considered participating in the UPCCA, particularly because of being unaware of the benefits of the UPCCAA. Since Fiscal Year (FY) 2023, the City has invested millions of General and Special Revenue funding into Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) that have beautified the City. To offer greater prospective, the City has steadily invested General and Special Revenue funding into CIPs from $11 million in FY23 to $56 million in FY25. In response to the increase in Public Projects, the Finance Agenda Report February 10, 2026
ORDINANCE NO. 1216 AND RESOLUTION NO. 26:006 Page 4
and Public Works Departments consulted with the City Attorney’s Office to discuss alternative purchasing methods that would reduce cost, increase efficiency, and offer greater flexibility.

Many contractors are simply unwilling to invest the time, money, and effort necessary to complete the extensive paperwork and bonding requirements for small projects. Those who are willing will submit bids with a markup that is oftentimes significantly higher than true market conditions/pricing. As a result, work that otherwise should be straightforward becomes unnecessarily costly, complex, and time-consuming for the City to procure.

To address the challenges associated with contracting for low-cost public projects, the State Legislature established the UPCCAA. This legislation provides public agencies with significantly greater flexibility for bidding and awarding public works projects valued at $220,000 or less. The UPCCAA bid threshold amounts are reviewed and periodically updated by the State Legislature to account for inflation.

Participating in the UPCCAA would offer the City several advantages, including greater flexibility in procuring public works projects, expedited contract award processes, improved project timelines, reduced advertising costs, and simplified contract administration. California allows municipalities to adopt the alternative bidding procedures available under the UPCCAA to expedite bidding for public projects, particularly those currently valued at $75,000 or less, and those valued over $75,000 and up to $220,000.

In effect, the Public Works staff could perform a wide range of tasks related to the public projects, ongoing repairs, and improvement of City’s facilities. Material costs alone often drive the costs of projects close to or above the current Municipal Code $2,500 bid threshold, at which point, according to the Municipal Code and the Public Contract Code (if over $5,000), the work must go out to informal/formal bid. Under these current regulations, even relatively minor projects must undergo the full bidding procedure. If this Ordinance and Resolution are adopted, Public Works expects anticipated future savings due to not having to prepare plans, specifications, and bidding documents for projects valued at $75,000 or less.

Participating Agencies
Approximately 308 cities, representing 64% of all California cities, have already elected to be subject to the UPCCAA procedures that enhance their ability to more quickly implement smaller public projects. In fact, 10 of the 27 Gateway Cities nearby have elected to be subject to the UPCCAA, including the cities of Bellflower, Norwalk, and Lakewood. Moreover, the Paramount Unified School District has utilized the UPCCAA procedures since September 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

SUBJECT: SPECIAL PARCEL TAX – RESPONSE TO CITY COUNCIL INQUIRY FROM FEBRUARY 2026 REVENUE ENHANCEMENT DISCUSSION –

THREE-YEAR PHASE-IN STRATEGY FOR PROPOSED PARCEL TAX

BACKGROUND
On October 14, 2025, staff conducted a Revenue Enhancement Workshop to evaluate options for addressing the City’s projected long-term structural deficit. At that meeting, staff presented an initial parcel tax model designed to provide stable financial support to the General Fund. The parcel tax would be applied to industrial, commercial, and vacant parcels.

On February 3, 2026, staff provided a follow-up presentation to the City Council addressing Council comments regarding whether the parcel tax rate could be tiered based on the proportion of sales tax contributions generated by businesses of commercial and industrial properties. The City Council concurred with staff’s assessment that the parcel tax rate could not be fairly based on sales tax levels. During the presentation, City Council also expressed interest in exploring implementation strategies that would ease the immediate financial impact on property owners should a parcel tax be introduced.

The City’s initial financial model, prepared by a consultant, demonstrates that a fully implemented parcel tax would provide structural funding for certain operations through approximately Fiscal Year 2033, with an accumulated reserve of $10.3 million available to fund Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects or to support operations through Fiscal Year 2038.

This report presents a three-year phase-in approach and its impact on the accumulated reserve balance.

DISCUSSION
A three-year phase-in strategy reduces the initial financial impact on taxpayers, as the City Council desired, by providing a measured transition to the full parcel tax rate. This approach demonstrates responsiveness to community concerns while preserving the long-term structural funding integrity necessary to maintain fiscal stability.

Agenda Report March 10, 2026
SPECIAL PARCEL TAX - THREE-YEAR PHASE-IN STRATEGY Page 2 Under the three-year phase-in approach, the parcel tax would not be imposed at the full rate in the first and second years. Instead, the rate would increase over a three-year period until reaching the full level necessary to achieve structural funding.

A conceptual implementation schedule is as follows:
• Year 1: 65% of the full rate
• Year 2: 80% of the full rate
• Year 3: 100% of the full rate
Revenue Reduction During Phase-In
Implementing the three-year phase-in would reduce total parcel tax revenue by approximately $2.2 million compared to immediate full-rate implementation. As a result, the accumulated parcel tax balance by FY 2033 would be approximately $8.1 million, rather than $10.3 million, thereby reducing the amount available to fund additional years of operation or support additional capital projects.

While the City would still achieve structural funding once the full rate is implemented in Year 3, the lower accumulated reserve modestly reduces fiscal cushion and long-term flexibility in later years.

Short-Term Considerations
Lower revenue in the first two years may require short-term sequencing or deferral of certain capital improvement projects. Expenditure growth will need to be closely monitored during the ramp-up period, and proactive reserve planning will be essential given the reduced accumulated balance.

Long-Term Considerations
By year 3, the parcel tax reaches full funding capacity. The General Fund remains structurally supported through approximately FY 2033. The reduced accumulated balance ($8.1 million vs. $10.3 million) modestly lowers long-term contingency capacity, maintaining overall fiscal sustainability through 2033.

Most/Least Impacted Parcels
Council also requested identification of the most and least impacted properties under the proposed parcel tax structure, including estimated dollar amounts. Staff prepared an analysis of the top ten highest and lowest single parcel tax impacts using the three-year phase-in model. The analysis reflects variations in parcel size, land use classification, and applicable rate factors. A detailed listing, including estimated annual tax amounts for each of the three years, has been prepared for Council review.

Agenda Report March 10, 2026
SPECIAL PARCEL TAX - THREE-YEAR PHASE-IN STRATEGY Page 3 Table 1 lists the highest-impact parcels, which are primarily large commercial and heavyindustrial properties. Under the three-year phase-in approach, these parcels would pay substantially less in the initial years than they would under full implementation. For example, the largest parcel (Parcel #1) would pay approximately $69,500 less over the three-year phase-in period. Table 2 illustrates the lowest-impact parcels, which generally consist of smaller vacant parcels or smaller commercial and industrial properties.

As a result, the total financial impact to an individual property owner may vary significantly depending on the size of each parcel and the number of parcels owned within the City. Table 3 illustrates that owners of multiple parcels may experience a greater cumulative impact, while smaller single-parcel property owners may see comparatively lower annual amounts based on parcel characteristics and classification.

PUSD Bond – Impact to Property Owners
Staff was made aware of a bond measure recently proposed by the Paramount Unified School District (PUSD) and passed by voters that has not been implemented. Once implemented, this bond initiative would have an impact on property taxes moving forward.

In November 2024, voters approved Measure Q, a general obligation bond measure for PUSD. The measure authorizes PUSD to issue bonds to finance school facility improvement projects. The ballot language indicated an estimated tax rate of $60 per $100,000 of assessed value, which represents the amount necessary to generate sufficient revenue to repay the authorized bonds over time. The actual annual tax rate levied may vary depending on the amount and timing of bonds issued, assessed valuation growth, interest rates, and the required annual debt service.

In 1998, PUSD proposed and voters approved a series of bonds called the 1998 Series B bond. These bonds will mature in fiscal year 2027 and will drop off the property tax bill.

This is important to note when calculating the net impact of a proposed City parcel tax on property owners.

PUSD is expected to issue the first series of bonds under Measure Q in 2026, with an estimated issuance of approximately $50 million. As a result, property owners may experience a net increase in property taxes beginning in 2027. Table 4 (last column) below illustrates the top ten single parcels most impacted by the transition from the maturing 1998 Series B bond to the new 2026 Measure Q bond.

Agenda Report March 10, 2026
SPECIAL PARCEL TAX - THREE-YEAR PHASE-IN STRATEGY Page 5 Table 4
The lowest ten single parcels are expected to experience minimal to no impact from PUSD’s Measure Q, as shown in Table 5 below.

Table 5
Properties with multiple parcels may experience varying levels of impact from PUSD’s Measure Q because the tax is applied based on the assessed value of each individual parcel. Parcels with higher assessed values will experience greater impacts, while parcels with lower assessed values will experience comparatively smaller impacts. As a result, property owners with multiple parcels that have a lower cumulative assessed value may experience a smaller overall impact, even if the parcels represent a larger total land area, as illustrated in Table 6. For example, Owner #1 holds 21 parcels with a larger combined size; however, because the total assessed value of these parcels is relatively lower, the net increase from PUSD’s bond impact is correspondingly smaller.

SUBJECT: INSTALLATION OF A LIMITED TIME PARKING ZONE IN FRONT OF BUSINESS LOCATED AT 15547 PARAMOUNT BOULEVARD

BACKGROUND
The Public Works Commission reviews applications for installation of disabled parking zones, limited-time parking zones, speed humps, and stop signs. Most recently, the Public Works Commission reviewed a request for a limited time parking zone in front of the Alert Cleaners business, located at 15547 Paramount Boulevard. The Public Works Commission is recommending approval of a 20-minute limited time parking zone (Monday - Saturday).

DISCUSSION
Staff received a request from property owner Mr. Daniel Moradzadeh for the installation of a 20-minute limited time parking zone in front of Alert Cleaners, located at 15547 Paramount Boulevard. The business is operated by his tenant, Mr. Ernie Hurtado. The applicant’s request for the green parking zone is to allow patrons to conveniently park, pick up or drop off items for cleaning, and leave the premises. The business currently does not have on-site parking; customers park on the street to access this business.

At its February 5, 2026 meeting, the Public Works Commission reviewed the request based on the limited time parking zone criteria as follows:
 Duration of time is considered based on business need  Must be a business where customer/visitor turnover is frequent  Must have no alternate on-site parking available
In addition to parking restrictions related to street sweeping on specified days and times, there is an existing 2-hour limited time parking zone located north of the Alert Cleaners business on the west side of Paramount Boulevard; this 2-hour limited time parking zone begins in front of the property located at 15519 Paramount Boulevard and concludes at 15509 Paramount Boulevard (in front of the Volunteers of America Los Angeles). Since the westerly side of this block between Madison Street and Jefferson Street primarily consists of businesses, an additional limited time parking zone on this block is reasonable. More specifically, a 20-minute parking green zone measuring approximately Agenda Report March 10, 2026
RESOLUTION NO. 26:009
20 feet is deemed reasonable given that the requested location is in front of the cleaning business, which has high turnover. Furthermore, the Commission discussed the 20- minute limited time parking designation would apply Monday-Saturday only, as the business is closed on Sundays; this arrangement would allow optimal use of this parking spot during non-business days.

A notice indicating that the City Council would hear this item was sent to the adjoining properties on this street.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City. Funding for this activity is covered by the application fee.

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.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt Resolution No. 26:009, authorizing the installation of a 20-minute (MondaySaturday) limited time parking zone in front of the business located at 15547 Paramount Boulevard.

SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT NO. 2

BACKGROUND
As a jurisdiction designated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as an “entitlement community” based on population, the City of Paramount directly receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds. These HUD funds are aimed at programs, projects, and services for community development and to enhance resident quality of life.

On May 3, 2022, the City Council approved the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2026. This plan outlines objectives and strategies for community development. The plan includes the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice which details steps to remove impediments to fair housing as determined by HUD.

As an entitlement community, the City is required to prepare an Annual Action Plan each year. This Annual Action Plan identifies specific activities that will utilize CDBG and HOME funds to achieve certain outcomes aligned with the objectives in the Consolidated Plan.

On May 13, 2025, the City Council approved the One-Year Action Plan for FY 2025-2026, which details the projects and programs funded through the CDBG and HOME funds for that specific year.

The adopted FY 2025-2026 Action Plan is the fourth of five annual plans implementing the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan through the investment of annual allocations of CDBG and HOME funds from HUD. Since there has been a change in activity and a reallocation of funds that exceed 25% of the total grant allocation utilizing CDBG and HOME funds, an amendment to the Annual Action Plan is required. Any substantial amendments to the approved plan must be formally noticed, and a public hearing is required. City Council approval is required before submitting the substantial amendment of the One-Year Action Plan to HUD for approval.

DISCUSSION
Current Fiscal Year 2025-2026 One-Year Action Plan
The One-Year Action Plan (FY 2025-2026) identifies the specific activities that will use CDBG and HOME funds to achieve certain outcomes related to the established objectives. The Action Plan identifies available resources, annual goals, projects, and activities for the period beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026. For the 2025- 2026 program year, the City received $701,752 of CDBG and $251,750.43 of HOME funds from HUD.

The One-Year Action Plan FY 2025-2026 allocated the $701,752 of CDBG and $251,750.43 of HOME funds for a total of $953,502.43. This amount was allocated in addition to $745,325.27 available from the prior year CDBG funds for a grand total of $1,698,827.70 to the following program activities to be implemented from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

The FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan requires two amendments, a Non-Substantial Amendment and a second Substantial Amendment to the previously approved plan.

The non-substantial amendment reflects a reduction in the amount of $23,246.60 in funding for the Alley Improvements 3rd Phase project due to the construction costs coming in lower than anticipated.

Substantial Amendment No. 2 includes the following adjustments:
• A reduction of $77,594 in funding for the Senior Enrichment Program, with these funds reallocated to a new activity, Paramount Shelter Bed Program. • Reallocation of the remaining FY 2024-2025 CDBG Home Improvement Program funds, totaling $141,680.50, to the FY 2025-2026 CDBG Home Improvement Program.

Given that the increase in funds exceeds the 50 percent threshold, an amendment to the approved FY 2025-2026 One-Year Action Plan is being presented to the City Council for consideration and approval. The proposed CDBG program budget will be adjusted as follows:

FY 2025-2026 CDBG PROGRAM
Alley Improvements 3rd Phase $760,705.30
HOME Improvement Program - CDBG $559,193.87
Senior Enrichment Program $27,668

GRAND TOTAL: $1,87,261.60

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $953,502 from the CDBG Fund in the Special Revenue Fund has been budgeted in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Adopted Budget. Staff proposes an additional appropriation of $863,759.17 of unallocated CDBG funds, which will increase the FY 2025-2026 CDBG program fund to $1,817,261.60.

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 decisionmaking. 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; No. 2: Community Health - Provide diverse recreational and cultural amenities that support healthy lifestyles and a sense of community; No. 4: Environmental Health - Promote, protect, and enhance a healthy, sustainably built, and natural environment; and No. 6: Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible - Deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent and collaborative manner.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct a public hearing, and 1) adopt the amended One-Year Action Plan (FY 2025- 2026) and 2) authorize the City Manager, or designee, to adjust the CDBG and HOME activity budgets to conform with any change to the formula for grant allocations, and execute and submit all required documents and agreements to amend the One-Year Action Plan in compliance with HUD regulations.

Executive Summary

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 2025-2026 Action Plan is the fourth 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, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026.

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 - 2025 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. 2025-2026 Program Year
For the 2025-2026 program year, the City will receive $701,752 of CDBG and $251,750.43 of HOME funds from HUD. The 2025-2026 Action Plan allocates $953,502.43 of CDBG and HOME funds in addition to $745,325.27 available prior year CDBG funds for a grand total of approximately $1,698,827.70 to the following program activities to be implemented from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

Non-Substantial Amendment No. 1
The Action Plan was amended to revise the following CDBG activity:
• 25-26 Alley Improvement 3rd Phase Project (decreased by $23,246.60 to $760,705.30) Substantial Amendment No. 2
The Action Plan was amended to revise the following CDBG activities:
• 25-26 Senior Enrichment Program (decreased by $77,594 to $27,668) • 25-26 Paramount Shelter Bed Program ($77,594) is a new activity • 25-26 CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Program (increased by $141,680.50 to $559,193.87) The 2025-2026 Action Plan allocates $701,752 of CDBG and $251,750.43 of HOME funds for a total of $953,502.43 in addition to $863,759.17 available prior year CDBG funds for a grand total of approximately $1,817,261.60 to the following program activities to be implemented from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. 2025-2026 CDBG PROGRAM

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 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 projects and activities included in the 2024-2025 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:
• 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.

City of Paramount - 8 - 2025 Annual Action Plan

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 2025-2026 Action Plan, the City solicited applications from fair housing service providers and City Departments to identify projects. The draft 2025-2026 Action Plan was available for public review and comment from April 11, 2025 to May 13, 2025. The City Council convened a public hearing on May 13, 2025, to receive public comments concerning the 2025-2026 Action Plan. Comments received during the public review period and at the Public Hearing are provided in “Appendix A” of this document.

Comments received during the public review period from February 12, 2026 – March 16, 2026 and the Public Hearing on March 10, 2026 will also be provided in “Appendix A” of this document.

6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them All comments and views received by the City in the development of the Action Plan were accepted and taken into consideration in the development of the Action Plan.

7. Summary
The 2025-2026 Action Plan addresses three (3) of the four (4) Strategic Plan Goals from the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan by allocating CDBG and HOME funds toward eligible activities that are to be implemented from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. Activities submitted as part of the Action Plan for City Council approval shall conform with one of the Strategic Plan goals in order to receive consideration for CDBG or HOME funds.

City of Paramount - 9 - 2025 Annual Action Plan
At the time the public review period began, HUD had not yet released the 2025-2026 Annual Allocations.

For this reason, HUD advised the City to prepare the draft document utilizing the current year annual allocation and include language detailing the methodology by which the City will reallocate funds should the 2025-2026 annual allocation increase or decrease.

Therefore, If the City’s 2025-2026 annual allocation should change, a request of the City Council would be made to provide staff and the public with the following language for adjusting activity budgets for the CDBG and HOME programs:
• Should the CDBG allocation be greater than $731,496:
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.
o Balance of funds will be added to the City’s CDBG funded Home Improvement Program activity.

City of Paramount - 11 - 2025 Annual Action Plan

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 2025-2026 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 2025-2026 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 - 12 - 2025 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
The City is not a direct recipient of ESG funding. However, it is a participating jurisdiction in the CoC and works closely with the homeless system to create funding policies and procedures for ESG.

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 Public Safety 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 also disseminates information on job opportunities through appropriate channels when implementing housing construction, housing rehabilitation, or other public construction contracts assisted with $100,000 or more of CDBG or HOME funds, consistent with the objectives of Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1968.

Narrative
Broadband
Throughout the City of Paramount, residents have consistent and multiple options to access broadband, high-speed internet offered by internet service providers such as Spectrum, AT&T, & T-Mobile. For broadband download speeds of 25 megabytes per second (mbps), 100% of residents are serviced by at City of Paramount - 28 - 2025 Annual Action Plan
least three internet service providers. According to BroadbandNow, the average download speed in Paramount is 100 mbps which is faster than the average internet speed in California.

Paramount complies with HUD’s Narrowing the Digital Divide Through Installation of Broadband Infrastructure in HUD-Funded New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation of Multifamily Rental Housing (81 FR 92626) rule (effective January 19, 2017). Through this rule, all new HUD-funded multi-family construction or substantial rehabilitation has included broadband infrastructure including cables, fiber optics, wiring and wireless connectivity to ensure that each unit has the infrastructure to achieve at least 25 mbps download and 3 mbps upload speeds.

Resilience
The City prepared an update of its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) in August 2022 and the City Council adopted the LHMP in April of 2023 (Resolution No. 23:013), and most recently a general plan amendment to adopt the LHMP with language in compliance with AB2140. The LHMP for the City of Paramount planning area was developed in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and followed FEMA’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan guidance. The LHMP incorporates a process where hazards are identified and profiled, the people and facilities at risk are analyzed, and mitigation actions are developed to reduce or eliminate hazard risk. The implementation of these mitigation actions, which include both short and long-term strategies, involve planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities. The LHMP is part of this Health and Safety Element and is available to view at:
https://www.paramountcity.gov/government/departments/planning-and-building/planning/paramountgeneral-plan/.

The City compiled a qualified team with various expertise, including risk management, public safety and health, engineering and public works, water infrastructure, and emergency response agencies to participate on a Steering Committee to guide the development of the comprehensive City LHMP. In addition, the Steering Committee solicited public involvement throughout the planning process, including inviting participation on the Steering Committee, allowing the public to comment during the drafting stage, and making the draft Plan available to allow the public to comment on the Hazard Mitigation Plan content.

As part of the development process, Plan goals and objectives were revalidated to provide a framework for mitigating hazards and proposing potential mitigation actions. The goals are consistent with the California State Hazard Mitigation Plan and the LA County Hazard Mitigation Plan and were developed by the Steering Committee. Paramount’s overall Plan goals are:

1. Protect lives and property

2. Support the priorities of the City of Paramount, its mandate, employees, students, residents, and the business community

3. Promote development consistent with seismic, floodplain and risk management guidance as developed by the City of Paramount and its agencies and/or organizations City of Paramount - 29 - 2025 Annual Action Plan

4. Promote the recognition of the real value of hazard mitigation to public facilities, public safety, and the welfare of all residents in the City of Paramount

5. Support the mitigation efforts of residents, non-profit organizations, community-based organizations, and private business throughout the City

6. Ensure all codes and standards are consistent with hazard mitigation AP-12 Participation – 91.105, 91.200(c)

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation The City established and followed a process for the development of the Consolidated Plan and the Assessment of Fair Housing that included broad participation from the community. These activities were coordinated and implemented by the Planning and Building 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 2025-2026 Action Plan, the City made the draft Action Plan available for public review and comment from April 11, 2025 to May 13, 2025. Residents were invited to review the draft Action City of Paramount - 30 - 2025 Annual Action Plan
Plan and to attend the Public Hearing or submit written comments concerning the projects and activities in the Action Plan.

Additionally, the City made the draft Action Plan Amendment No. 2 available for public review and comment from February 12, 2026 to March 16, 2026. Residents were invited to review the draft Action Plan Amendment No. 2 and to attend the Public Hearing on March 10, 2026, or submit written comments concerning the projects and activities in the Action Plan.

Introduction
At the start of the public review and comment period, HUD had not yet released the 2025-2026 Annual Allocations. For this reason, HUD 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 2025-2026 annual allocation increase or decrease.

Therefore, if the City’s 2025-2026 annual allocation changes, a request of the City Council would be made to provide staff and the public with the following language for adjusting activity budgets for the CDBG and HOME programs:
• Should the CDBG allocation be greater than $731,496:

City of Paramount - 34 - 2025 Annual Action Plan
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.
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 2025- 2026 Action Plan.
• Should the CDBG allocation be less than $731,496:
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 2025- 2026 Action Plan.
• Should the HOME allocation be greater than $247,569.75:
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 $247,569.75:
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 HOME funded Home Improvement Program.

On May 13, 2025, HUD announced the 2025-2029 Annual Allocations, decreasing the CDBG allocation from $731,496 to $701,752 and increasing the HOME allocation from $247,569.75 to $251,750.43. The City adjusted the activity budgets based on the methodology provided above.

Table 6 - Expected Resources – Priority Table

City of Paramount - 36 - 2025 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 2025-2026.

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
City of Paramount - 37 - 2025 Annual Action Plan

Private Resources
• Federal Home Loan Bank, Affordable Housing Program
• Community Reinvestment Act Programs
• United Way Funding
• Private Contributions
Matching Requirements
HOME
HUD requires HOME recipients (Participating Jurisdictions - PJs) to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.222, PJs 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 2027.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically In accordance with the 2025-2026 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 2025-2026 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people, without regard to their physical location within the City of Paramount.

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
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 - 47 - 2025 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 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 2025-2026. The City will continue to distribute General Funds, and HOME ARP funds to local nonprofit organizations serving these populations. The grants are administered by the City’s Public Safety Department. The City of Paramount does not receive ESG funding. 2024 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count Results
The 2024 PIT Count reported that 75,518 people are homeless in Los Angeles County on any given night.

Overall, 2024 PIT Count illustrates about the same percentage in homelessness when compared to the 2023 PIT Count.

The City of Paramount is part of Service Planning Area (SPA) 6 – South Los Angeles. The 2024 PIT Count reported that 22 people are homeless on any given night in Paramount and that 13,886 people are homeless on any given night in SPA 6. According to this data, Paramount accounts for less than 1 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 City of Paramount - 49 - 2025 Annual Action Plan
preservation, development, and access addresses the underlying issue of inadequate supply of affordable 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 15 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 and HOME ARP funds will support public services to extremely low-, low-, and moderateincome 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 - 50 - 2025 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. The elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California in 2012 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 than 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 - 51 - 2025 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 - 52 - 2025 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 2025-2026 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 2025-2026 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 2025-2026 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In the implementation of the 2025-2026 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 - 53 - 2025 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 2025-2026 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.

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:

City of Paramount - 56 - 2025 Annual Action Plan
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.

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:

See above.

City of Paramount - 57 - 2025 Annual Action Plan
Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:

The City does not intend to use HOME funds under the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds.

Discussion:

In the implementation of programs and activities under the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan, the City of Paramount will follow all HUD regulations concerning the use of CDBG and HOME funds.

The City of Paramount funds a Home Improvement Program with HOME and CDBG funds which provides grants to improve the exterior of owner-occupied detached single-family homes or mobile/manufactured homes.
