INTRODUCTION

CITY OF PASADENA
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024

The City of Pasadena Five -Year Consolidated Plan provides a framework to identify housing, homeless, community and economic development needs and resources to tailor a Strategic Plan for meeting those needs. The Consolidated Plan consists of a five (5) year Strategic Plan and an Annual Action Plan. The Strategic Plan contains three (3) parts: 1) a housing, homeless, community and economic development needs assessment; 2) a housing market analysis; and 3) long-term strategies to meet priority needs. The Action Plan describes the specific projects and activities that Pasadena will undertake in the coming year with its federal f unds from the U. S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) to address those priority needs. The Action Plan also contains certifications indicating that the City will follow certain requirements such as furthering fair housing.

The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is an assessment of the (City) of Pasadena’s activity performance funded by the three HUD formula grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG); Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME); and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG).

The CAPER describes the City’s performance for all HUD formula grant programs with respect to meeting the objectives and goals established in the City’s Five -Year Consolidated Plan and in corresponding Annual Action Plan. Program Year (PY) 2023 is the fourth year in the Five -Year Consolidated Pla nning Period (Program Years 2020 - 2024) for the City.

GOALS AND OUTCOMES (CR-05)

Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a)

During program year 2023-2024, the City made progress towards the goals of developing a viable community by providing affordable decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunity for low to moderate income persons as described in pertinent Consolidated Plan documents.

For program year 2023–2024, the City of Pasadena allocated $3,354,483 in federal funds, which included $2,159,608 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), $60,150 in CDBG program income, $886,215 HOME Investment Partnership, $61,378 in unspent HOME funds from previous years , and $187,132 in Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds.

Table 1 – PY23 Annual Allocation
HOME-ARP: Funds were allocated in PY21 for tenant -based rental assistance (TBRA).

However, the program did not expend any funds during the program year. The TBRA Eviction Prevention program currently serv es 16 very low-income tenants, expending $354,806 during the program year.

CDBG-CV: During PY23, $343,444.85 was expended to continue program administration and food insecurity programs throughout the City.

ESG-CV: The ESG-CV grant expired on September 30, 2023 . As a result , expenditures and outcomes only reflect on e quarter. For PY23, $140,069.31 for PY23 was utilized to for temporary emergency shelter, rapid re-housing, and administrative costs . In PY 23 fifteen (15) persons were served with temporary emergency shelter, and 87 persons were assisted with rapid rehousing services.

Comparison of the proposed versus actual outcomes for each outcome measure submitted with the consolidated plan and explain, if applicable, why progress was not made toward meeting goals and objectives. 91.520(g)

Categories, priority levels, funding sources and amounts, outcomes/objectives, goal outcome indicators, units of measure, targets, actual outcomes/outputs, and percentage completed for each of the grantee’s program year goals are described in Table 2 below.

The City is making some progress on the on meeting the goals set forth in the Consolidated Plan. However, complete recovery from the pandemic has not been

achieved. The City was shut down for 18 months which had the biggest impact on affordable housing projects. Funding from Congress in response to the pandemic is nearly expended in full for ESG-CV and CDBG -CV. Costs have gone up dramatically for construction related activity due to the high inflation & interest rate environment.

Recently, t he City was able to find a site for a congregate winter shelter serving 72 individuals. A total of 195 individuals were served by the Bad Weather Shelter . State, county, and local funds were used to augment non -congregate shelter in motels during inclement weather , resulting in 248 people serve d. In total, 515 people were served between the Bad Weather Shelter, ESG Shelter program, and the Weather -Activated Motel programs for PY23.

The difference between the 112-unit 5-year goal and outcome for affordable rental housing constructed pertains to the proposed Ramona senior housing project which underwent a lengthy environmental clearance and design process in PY23.

The project received final design review approval from the City in October 2023.

The difference between the 8 -unit 5-year goal and outcome for affordable rental housing rehabilitated is due to the impacts of the COVID pandemic which has delayed the submittal of HOME fundin g applications for the HOPE multifamily apartment properties located at Worcester Ave. and Summit Ave. Both of these projects were under HOME funding contracts with the City in FY 2023.

Please provide a summary of the specify efforts to address the worst-case needs and the needs of those with disabilities. Please specify how they were assisted.

Worst case housing needs are defined as low-income renter households who pay more than half their income for rent, live in seriously substandard housing, or have been involuntarily displaced. The city served the worst-case needs in PY23 by providing the following:

More than 50% of rent: CDBG funds were utilized through emergency rental assistance to assist households who resided in census tracts where 51% or more of households earn less than 50% AMI.

15 | P a g e
2023-24 Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report City of Pasadena
Substandard Housing: The Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance program ensured that substandard housing met HQS Standards, State Standards, and/or local rehabilitation standards for decent housing.

Involuntarily Displaced: During the reporting period, there was no voluntary or involuntary displacement through the City's Federal Entitlement Programs.

Disabilities: Funds were used to implement an emergency rental assistance program.

Priority was given to tenants with a disabled person living in the household, large families and single income. The City identified these households as most likely to lose housing.

16 | P a g e
2023-24 Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report City of Pasadena
HOMELESS & OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS (CR-25)

Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs.

Homeless persons are reached through a Coordinated Entry System (CES) process that is designed to identify, engage, and assist homeless individuals and families to ensure that those who request or need assistance are connected to proper housing and service s. The CES is linked to street outreach throughout the CoC so that people sleeping on the streets and others least likely to access services are prioritized for assistance in the same way as all other homeless persons. Outreach workers engage people living outside and in vehicles and work to connect them to resources such as shelter and permanent housing, all with a Housing First approach. The CoC advertises the CES process in various ways that include:
1) Flyers that describe the process and includes contact information; 2) Local 311 Citizens Service Center is set up to make referrals 3) Making information available at service sites including local meal programs; 4) Making information available at public locations; 5) Educating mainstream service provider s; 7) Providing CES connection through low - barrier seasonal shelter programs; and 8) Referrals are made through a countywide 211 help line.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons.

The reopening of Bad Weather Shelter in PY23, along with the CoC continuing to fund and operate weather-activated motel vouchers as well as year -around motel voucher programs, as well as the existing congregate shelter programs in Pasadena resulted in a total number of 508 congregate shelter beds, 99 transitional housing beds, 281 weather- activated motel voucher beds, and 165 year-around motel voucher beds.

Funding sources: General fund, Los Angeles County Measure H funds, State of California Encampment Resolution Fund (ERF) and Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) funds, ESG and ESG-CV funds.

Helping low -income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are:
likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corre ctions programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

17 | P a g e
2023-24 Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report City of Pasadena
Mainstream benefit training for homeless services and prevention providers was conducted in September of 202 3 with the partnership of LA County agencies, including Los Angeles County Department of Social Services (DPSS); Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH); Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS), and the America’s Job Center of California /Foothill Workforce Development Board (AJCC/FWDB). The training administered included information and resources on the DPSS CalFRESH & CalWORKS programs, LA County DPH & DHS’s Substance Use Treatment programs, and AJCC/FWDB’s various Employment programs and resources.

City funds homelessness prevention programs that provide rental assistance and supportive services to very- and extremely low-income households with a variety of public funding sources including State of California HHAP, FHC, and ESG.

In June of 2022, the Business, Co nsumer Services and Housing Agency’s (BCSH) California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) awarded the Pasadena CoC $644,211.00 for the Family Homelessness Challenge (F HC-1) Grant. The Pasadena CoC contracted with Door of Hope to administer a Homeless Prevention Program serving families with minor children, with the goal of serving a total of 180 families between Performance Years (PYs) 2023 and 2026. A total of 91 households and 305 participants have been served.

The City recently partnered with the Los Angeles County Department of Children (DCFS) to administer new Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) rental assistance vouchers to households and individuals exiting foster care.

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
Pasadena has an established coordinated entry system (CES) which quickly connects households experiencing homelessness with PH. The system uses a hybrid approach, with a 24-hr central phone system for families and decentralized systems for individuals and youth that allows assessment by any agency or street outreach worker. Additionally, families can be referred directly by partner agencies, bypassing the 24 -hr phone system.

CES uses a population -specific CES survey tool (VI -SPDAT, FVI-SPDAT, and Next Step Tool) to assess LOT homeless which, combined with entry & exit dates, allows the CoC to track LOT homeless. Matches to permanent housing are prioritized based on length of time homeless or length of time enrolled in a shelter or navigation program. Families are

18 | P a g e
2023-24 Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report City of Pasadena
prioritized for RRH, non -chronic veterans for SSVF, and chronically homeless veterans for HUD-VASH. Recent increased efforts to outreach to and prioritize for housing those with the longest histories of homelessness has resulted in an increase in the Pasad ena Continuum of Care average length of time homeless. The CoC continues to increase PSH & RRH through federal, state, county & private sources, and ESG prioritization of funds.

In addition, supportive services are offered to newly housed participant and participant households based upon need through various community partners.

OTHER ACTIONS (CR-35)

Actions taken 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. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
During PY22, the City keep in place its local moratorium to prevent any evictions for non- payment due to impacts on the corona virus pandemic. The City also processed 10 ADU landlord agreements to waive residential impacts fees associated with constructing accessory dwelling units (ADU).

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs.

91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Pasadena’s General Plan sets forth various policies to ensure that each neighborhood receives an equitable level of services. This includes: 1) promoting the location of public and private community service facilities, and public and private recreation facilities throughout the community as a function of population distribution and need; and 2) promoting the accessible location of public and private community services facilities; and 3) reconfiguring the City’s transit system to help residents access job centers and health facilities located outside their immediate neighborhood. The City will continue to examine various sites in Pasadena for the development of parks, analyze ways to use public transit to allow residents of Northwest Pasadena to access other park facilities, and evaluate the fee structure to determine whether it is sufficient to fund the acquisition, development, and maintenance of parks.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City’s Public Health Department is aggressively working to prevent lead poisoning and to identify children who may already be affected. The Pasadena Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (PCLPPP) works with local health care providers to identify children who may be affected by lead poisoning. Public Health nurses provide blood lead screening for children six (6) years of age and under and any diagnosed cases of childhood lead poisoning are targeted for public health intervention. Support services for intervention provided through PCLPPP include case management by a Public Health Nurse and environmental testing for possible sources of lead in the child’s environment by a registered Environmental Health Specialist. The program also provides community outreach, educational seminars and workshops on the dangers of lead -based paint, including preventative measures to avoid lead exposure and how to assess the risk of lead exposure.

21 | P a g e

HOME (CR-50)

Include the results of on -site inspections of affordable rental housing assisted under the program to determine compliance with housing codes and other applicable regulations.

Affordable rental housing that had on -site inspections in PY23 either passed their inspections or corrections were required that were subsequently addressed by owners, resulting in a passed inspection. In general, the items that needed corrections were routine maintenance matters.

Please list those projects that should have been inspected on -site this program year based upon the schedule in §92.504(d). Indicate which of these were inspected and a summary of issues that were detected during the inspection. For those that were not inspected, please indicate the reason and how you will remedy the situation.

The following projects were scheduled for inspections, and were inspected in PY23:

Hudson Oaks, Rosewood Court, Marv’s Place, Orange Grove Gardens. Generally, the issues detected during these inspections were routine maintenance matters; all corrective measures were performed by the owners. The following projects were also scheduled for PY23 but were not inspected: Pasadena Silvercrest, Villa Parke Homes, Villa Los Robles, and Pasadena Accessible Apartments. These projects were not inspected due to vendor procurement matters that are being resolved so that these projects will be inspected in PY24.

Provide an assessment of the jurisdiction's affirmative marketing actions for HOME units. 92.351(b)

The City requires that the appropriate affirmative fair housing marketing policies are followed by recipients of HOME funds. Where HOME -assisted projects are located within a community which is comprised of a significant percentage of minority populations, the City requires developers of such projects to conduct affirmative, targeted marketing within these communities. This requirement is further supported by a City policy which gives preference to household applicants who live in Pasadena. These efforts have resulted in positive outcomes overall. Please refer to IDIS project completion reports, which evidence that a significant proportion of beneficiary households belong to minority and/or underserved populations. In addition, construction projects sub sidized with HOME funds are subject to Section 3 regulations if over $200,000. Furthermore, developers of City -funded construction projects are required to comply with the City’s local hiring ordinance.

Refer to IDIS reports to describe the amount and use of program income for projects, including the number of projects and owner and tenant characteristics

Performance Highlights
Through the conclusion of FY 23/24, the Housing Rights Center's (HRC's) Fair Housing Program for the City of Pasadena provided housing-related services to 1,289 Pasadena household contacts.

Based on this total number of household contacts, HRC served 519 residents in-person through our physical locations at HRC’sLake Avenue office and at the Jackie Robinson Center. The remaining 770 resident contacts were served through our phone intake line, e-mail requests, website requests, or through an outreach event or clinic. One-hundred thirty-five residents presented HRC with complaints or questions regarding housing discrimination, with the balance (1,154) seeking counseling on general landlord-tenant and other housing matters. HRC also provided the city with a comprehensive outreach and education program, which included presentations covering a wide range of housing- and discrimination-related topics, media participation, property management training sessions, social media releases, and literature distribution.

Demographic Overview
Of the 1,289 Pasadena residents contacted and served in-person, 1,239 (96.1%) reported their income level as low to extremely low, 411 (31.9%) were of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, 245 (19.0%) were seniors, 183 (14.2%) were disabled, and 54 (4.2%) were female heads of households.

Summary of Investigations
Of the 135 discrimination inquiries received by HRC, the agency opened 16 discrimination investigation cases, seven of which alleged discrimination based on physical disability, four on mental disability, three on source of income, and two on race. To date, six of these cases have been successfully conciliated by HRC staff, five were closed for lack of a meaningful enforcement option or upon the client's withdrawal, with the remaining five cases pending further investigation.

General Landlord/Tenant Assistance
During this program year, 1,154 Pasadena residents contacted and served in-person turned to HRC for counseling on general landlord-tenant questions and complaints. HRC staff resolved 412 (35.7%) of these matters, with the remainder receiving referrals to appropriate agencies or other service providers.

National Objective: 570.208 (a)(2)(i)(B) LMC (51%)
Project Summary
Families in Transition (FIT) is an existing program that currently provides health and social services to the Pasadena Unified School District's highest-needs population including homeless students, unaccompanied youth, and low-income students with unaddressed needs. The goal is to reduce the socio-economic and health barriers of children and their families so that students can succeed in school. The objectives are to: 1) Connect disadvantaged students, parents and caregivers to needed services as appropriate for a positive learning experience; 2) Increase student attendance and parental involvement; and 3) Increase the capacity of schools and our community partners to respond to the holistic needs of children, youth, and families.

Activities include direct services and referrals related to: physical health and mental health; emergency shelter and basic needs; school enrollment and preparedness; enrollment in out-of-school time academic and enrichment programs; parent/caregiver education; and family counseling, crisis intervention and case management. FIT staff collaborate with community-based organizations, including Door of Hope, Peace Over Violence, and the Salvation Army to connect clients to emergency services, and to provide services to improve the health and financial stability of students and families. Services are provided at the PUSD Center for Student & Family Services, located at 750 N. Los Robles Avenue in Northwest Pasadena in the CDBG service area.

Annual Narrative
A total of 110 unduplicated households and 370 individuals, including 188 PUSD students, were enrolled in the CDBG program for the 2023-2024 school year, exceeding our accomplishment goal of 87 households and 303 individuals. The Families in Transition (FIT) staff made 203 referrals for families to community agencies that provide assistance with housing, food insecurity, medical and dental needs, health insurance, and legal services. The FIT staff participated in 22 outreach events in order to raise awareness of the number and needs of our unhoused students, promote parental involvement, and provide access to services. Training focusing on eligibility, the referral process, and services available through the FIT office was provided for 183 PUSD employees including 44 district and school administrators, 26 administrative assistants, 59 school registrars, and 54 support staff including community assistants. Additionally, the FIT team was invited to the SPA 3 Provider Meeting to describe their services and procedures. The FIT staff distributed 80 backpacks to students at the start of the year, provided cold-weather clothing for 10 families, referred secondary students to formal- wear giveaways during prom and graduation season, supplied 48 families with shelf-stable food for the summer, and secured 23 scholarships for students to attend the Pasadena Educational Foundation summer enrichment program.

Unanticipated budgetary circumstances presented challenges to utilizing all of the award funds. The coordinator position was vacated at the start of Quarter 2 and the position was soon eliminated. The funding allocations of the community advocates could not be modified to include CDBG funding until Quarter 3. Although the full CDBG award was not used, the Families in Transition team accomplished the outcome goals of the CDBG program.

Project Title: Individualized Literacy Support
Operating Agency: Reading Partners
Contract Period: 7/1/23 - 6/30/24
Activity Code: 05D Youth Services
National Objective: 570.208 (a)(2)(i)(C) LMC (Exclusive) Project Summary
Our core program is centered around one-on-one in-person literacy support for kindergarten through fourth-grade students from Title 1 schools. In each of our partner schools, Reading Partners transforms a dedicated space into a reading center, recruiting at least 50 volunteer tutors to serve at least 40 students. Student-tutor pairs work together for 45 minutes twice per week, following an individualized reading plan tailored to each student’sparticular needs and strengths. To execute this plan, tutors use Reading Partners’curriculum, a series of research-based, structured lesson plans that progress from phonics instruction to comprehension strategy instruction. For the 2022-23 school year, we are utilizing our traditional, in-person program and our virtual curriculum. With this hybrid program, students connect with their tutors either virtually or face-to-face in our reading centers under the guidance and support of our AmeriCorps members and full-time staff.

Annual Narrative
Reading Partners is deeply grateful for the City of Pasadena's generous grant to support our proven, one-on-one literacy intervention program through our high-impact Literacy Intervention Tutors. During the 2023-24 school year, we delivered research-based, one-on-one tutoring to Pasadena public school students striving to read at grade level. Reading Partners is proud to have partnered with 7 schools in Pasadena to reach 363 students, providing 11,098 tutoring sessions.

To ensure our program is effective, we tracked each student’sprogress against their primary end-of- year literacy growth goal. Our results show that we helped our younger students—those in kindergarten through second grade—make strides to develop mastery of foundational reading skills appropriate for their grade level. We supported our older students by ensuring they are on track to read at grade level by the end of the year. Thus we are pleased to report on the following outcomes of our program for the 2023-24 school year:
83% of all Reading Partners’students met or exceeded their primary, individualized end-of-year literacy growth goal.
85% of all kindergarteners through second-graders mastered grade-appropriate foundational literacy skills.
78% of all third- and fourth-grade students demonstrated growth in reading scores compared to a national group of peers in the same grade.
78% of students showed improvement in general academic behaviors as reported by teacher surveys. 100% of teachers and principals identified Reading Partners as a valuable asset to their school, as measured by surveys
In each of our partner schools, Reading Partners transformed a dedicated space into a reading center, recruiting at least 50 volunteer tutors to serve at least 40 students. Student-tutor pairs worked together for 45 minutes twice per week, following an individualized reading plan tailored to each student’s particular needs and strengths and Reading Partners’strategic goals for student reading achievement.

Our virtual tutors used video conferencing and our online curriculum, Reading Partners Connects. Our in-person tutors utilized our traditional program curriculum, Reading Partners Traditional. Both our virtual and in-person curriculums are created in-house and present a series of research-based, structured lesson plans that progress from phonics instruction to comprehension strategy instruction.

A seasoned educator supervised a portfolio of reading centers and ensured consistent results and program implementation fidelity. We are thrilled to report that 80% of all Reading Partners students met or exceeded their primary literacy growth goal.

We faced some challenges at the beginning of the year that delayed the initial launch of our programming and affected our ability to meet enrollment benchmarks throughout the year. Firstly, we had a few AmeriCorps program coordinator vacancies in Pasadena at the beginning of the year, Public Service

delaying our student enrollment at some school sites. Anticipating AmeriCorps member turnover, we were able to move new candidates through our pipeline and onboard additional AmeriCorps members throughout the fall to fill positions.

Additionally, Reading Partners, like many other volunteer-driven organizations, has faced challenges with volunteer recruitment in line with declining volunteerism nationwide over the last few years. While we successfully partnered with 27 community organizations, ranging from faith-based organizations, corporate partners, universities, and high schools, we faced persistent challenges throughout the year in recruiting enough volunteer tutors to support our students. Our part-time Literacy Intervention Tutors played a crucial role in helping us address this challenge. Tutors in these part-time positions support students with the same one-on-one lessons as our volunteer tutors but could work with 16 students each over the course of the year. These high-impact tutors have played a vital role in supporting our program amidst a myriad of lingering challenges in the education landscape that have made it difficult for us to return to the pre-pandemic numbers of students we can serve.

Every year we strive to continue improving our program. This past school year, we launched a new and more interactive RPCx platform and were thrilled to incorporate our own proprietary curriculum books. Written by our team of experts in curriculum development and published both in print and as ebooks, these new curriculum books have increased diverse representation in our curriculum and introduced contexts more relevant to present day. Our previous curriculum books were written in 1999 and thus did not reflect the race, equity, diversity and inclusion values of our organization or the communities we serve. These new books, however, have created an exciting opportunity to enhance our curriculum to be more inclusive and to show the lived experiences of our students, ultimately enriching their learning exper
