PREVIOUS RELATED ACTION: On June 3, 2024, the City Council adopted the FY 2024-25 City Operating Budget.
PUBLIC NOTICING REQUIREMENTS: A combined Notice of Public Hearing and 30-Day Comment Period for the Amendment of the Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan was published on January 31, 2025 in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin (Attachment No. 3).
DISCUSSION: The City of Pomona currently receives Community Development Block (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), HOME- American Recovery Program (ARP), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Healthy Homes Production Grant (HHPG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) and CalHome Reuse funds from the California Department of Housing and Community Development. At the close of (FY) 2023-24, various funding sources had unexpended fund balances, including CDBG, HOME-ARP, ESG HHPG, PLHA, and CalHome Reuse Program funds. Based on (FY) 2023-24 year-end expenditures and corresponding fund balances (unaudited), additional (FY) 2024-25 appropriations and revenue adjustments are requested. Unexpended funds will be used for eligible projects and activities under each funding source and currently administered by the City. At the same time, the City received program income from prior loan repayments, and new funding awards from HUD during the year will be appropriated in the current year. The new awards are:
Emergency Solutions Grant – Rapid Unsheltered Survivor Housing (ESG-RUSH) On January 30, 2025, the City received a special allocation of $1.0 million from the ESG Program Rapid Unsheltered Survivor Housing (RUSH). The allocation is in response to the President’s major disaster declaration dated January 8, 2025, for Wildfires and Straight-Line winds. The City will use these funds to address the housing and services needs of people experiencing homelessness or at risk of longer-term homelessness. Proposed activities are:

$212,500
TOTAL
$1,000,000
Lead Hazard Reduction Grant and Healthy Homes Supplement Funding received from HUD-Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes (OLHCHH) is $4,947,433. The award will continue funding for the City’s Lead Education Control and Healthy Homes Program (LEAC+HH). The program helps contain lead-based paint hazards in homes built before 1978. It also addresses other housing-related hazards, including trips and falls, entry by intruders, electrocution, mold, and household chemical poisoning. The criteria to qualify are that household incomes cannot exceed 80% of the Los Angeles County Area Median Income ($110,950 for a household size of 4), and the household must have a child aged 6 years and below or a pregnant woman. Lead-based paint hazards can be found in deteriorated paint surfaces on walls, cabinets, surfaces, window trims, casings, and doors.
Older Adult Home Modification Program
The City also received $1,514,829 in OLHCHH funding for the Older Adult Home Modification Program. The program aims to enable low-income, elderly persons to remain in their homes through low-cost, low-barrier, and high-impact home modifications. Such modifications include installing ADA ramps, grab bars, stair railings, and toilet risers. These modifications reduce the risk of falling and improve the functional abilities of seniors, allowing them to remain in their homes or “age in place” rather than move to nursing homes or other assisted care facilities. Unlike the City’s other housing programs, licensed occupational therapists will conduct the home assessments. Funding assistance is $5,000 per household. The grant will assist approximately 100 households.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES & GOALS: This supports the FY 2021-22 City Council Priority 1: Fiscal and Operational Responsibility – Goal C: Obtain additional grant funding and other revenues to help achieve City goals.
