Narrative
CDBG funds are expended in each district in accordance with Council priorities. The Citywide and Mayor’s portions are spent without regard for specific geographic areas, but within low to moderate-income areas.

Code Enforcement activities are undertaken in adopted target areas. HOME and ESG funds are expended without regard for geographical boundaries.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.

The City of Pomona leveraged Federal Resources with other public and private resources to assist the City in reaching its community development goals identified in the FY 2024-25 Action Plan. This allows the City to reinforce coordination of activities between and among agencies and to leverage additional resources.

The City’s public and private funding sources include, but are not limited to, the following:
x CalHOME Grant
x CalHome Reuse Funds
x Fund 226 Senior Citizen Nutrition Grant

City of Pomona 2024-25 CAPER

CAPER 11

x General Funds
x Healthy Homes Production Grant
x Permanent Local Housing Allocation
x State Gas Tax Revenue Fund
The CDBG Program did not require matching funds, but was leveraged by the above-mentioned funding sources. The HOME Program did not require matching funds due to a 100% match reduction determination by HUD. Lastly, the ESG 100% match requirement was satisfied by subrecipient agencies using private and public funds as match. (See Homeless Section) No publicly-owned land or property located within the City’s jurisdiction was used to address any identified needs in the plan.

NEEDS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES : Approximately 10,246 persons over the age of sixty-five,

6.7% of Pomona’s population, are living with a disability. Non-residential and housing assistance are provided to persons with disabilities thro ugh the following agencies: Services Center for Independent Living, Pomona Vista Care Center, Country Oaks Care Center, the Department of Social Services, and the Casa Colina Rehabilitation Center. In addition to adult care, Casa Colina has residential facilities available at alternate campuses for those disabled with brain injuries and developmental disabilities.
“WORST-CASE NEEDS”: 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 of Pomona served the worst-case needs in FY 2024-25 by providing the following:

MORE THAN 50% OF RENT: The Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance Program provided housing payment assistance to those qualifying households who paid more than 50% of their income for housing. CDBG and ESG funds were utilized through various agencies to provide assistance with food and other support services.

SUBSTANDARD HOUSING: The Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance program and various residential rehabilitation programs ensured that substandard housing met HQS Standards, State Standards and/or local rehabilitation standards for decent, safe and sanitary housing.

INVOLUNTARILY DISPLACED: During the reporting period, there was no voluntary or involuntary displacement through the City’s Federal Entitlement Programs.

It should be noted that many other service providers within the City who do not receive Federal Entitlement Funds provide assistance to households with high rent burdens, living in substandard conditions (including homeless) or who have been involuntarily displaced.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
Outreach and Assessment is provided through the Pomona Police Department’s Outreach Team made up of two police officers and two clinicians from the Department of Mental Health. This team conducts outreach and provides adults experiencing homelessness referrals to the City’s Hope for Home shelter. The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds beds at Hope for Home for the outreach team to refer outreached individuals to. Several of the local non-profits also have outreach teams specific to the field of endeavor (mental health, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, etc.) and can refer to the beds funded by state or local sources.

Other Federal Resources

Housing Choice Voucher Program (Formerly known as Section 8 Rental Assistance) The Pomona Housing Authority, through its oversight of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance program, is entitled to administer a maximum of 1,177 housing choice vouchers, including Project Based vouchers. These vouchers provide housing assistance to approximately 2,404 residents of Pomona. Very low-income families choose and lease safe, decent, and affordable privately-owned rental housing, including single- family homes, townhouses, and apartments.

Healthy Homes Production Grant (HHPG)
In March 2022, the City was also awarded a Healthy Homes Production Grant (HHPG) amounting to $2.0 million from OLHCHH. The grant aims to eliminate all environment and housing-related hazards in a coordinated manner, instead of addre ssing hazards one at a time. In FY 2024-25, 1 housing units tested positive for lead based paint hazards, and 70 housing units were tested for radon, but with levels found to be below 4pCi/L . Fifty-one (51) families were provided healthy homes assistance.

City of Pomona 2024-25 CAPER

CAPER 19

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Pomona, Hope for Home Homeless Services Center (H4H) is funded through the City with ESG funds as well as local Measure H, State Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) and Continuum of Care Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (CoC-HHAP) funds. In 2024-25 the City funded one (1) emergency shelter. All programs administered by the City are required to assist clients in developing individual housing stability and transition plans before exiting the program.

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 corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs In order to prevent families and individuals from falling into homelessness, the City of Pomona utilizes the County of Los Angeles 211 to access homeless prevention program. Based upon annual income guidelines, families that are faced with i mminent eviction or termination of utilities may receive rental assistance and security deposit assi stance to move into a more affordable unit, or assistance with utility deposits/costs.

Tri-City Community Navigation Services was cont racted through Measure H Homeless Initiative funds to provide a homeless prevention program through a multijurisdictional project between the Cities of Pomona, Claremont and La Verne.

Helping Homeless Persons Transition to permanent Housing In keeping with best practices and guidance from HUD, the City has moved from the traditional approach to homelessness to a housing first approach. To the greatest extent possible, homeless persons are quickly placed into permanent housing and are then assisted with the supportive services needed to support the transition in place. Supportive services include, but are not limited to case management, access to life skills groups, financial literacy classes, and linkages to mental health services, medical care, and substance use remediation. Social opportunities are offered which help people experiencing homelessness be placed in permanent housing to develop new social structures that support a stable lifestyle.

City of Pomona 2024-25 CAPER

CAPER 20

A vital component of the housing first approach is low barrier access to housing and a trauma informed care approach. Pomona’s CoC funded programs practice low barrier access to housing and educate landlords and service providers in this practice through presentations at local coalition meetings. A key practice for low barrier housing enrollment is active participation in the Los Angeles County Coordinated Entry System (CES).

In addition to providing suitable, acceptable and affordable housing, ongoing supportive services are required to help the individual learn to live in housing and as a part of mainstream society. Pomona programs provide assistance to individuals and families in developing goals, budgeting, identifying and addressing unique challenges and barriers for full integration. Program participants are linked to services addressing disabling condition(s). Ongoing case management supports program participants and helps them to identify and modify behaviors that were developed for survival on the street.

To help people experiencing homelessness transition to permanent housing, the Pomona Police Department’s Outreach team provide the following services to homeless adults: outreach assessments, linkages to necessary housing resource s/referrals, assistance with housing security deposits and utility assistance, food and furniture assistance and transportation assistance.

Once outreached and connected to a bed at Hope for Home, case managers connect eligible participants to the CoC-Rapid Re-housing Operation Porchlight Program that assists families and inidividuals get connected to permanent housing. The programs funding provides assistance with security deposits, short to medium term rental assistance, and case management with monthly check-ins to ensure participants are working towards self-sufficiency.

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 experien ce homelessness, faci litating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
A Chronically homeless person or family has been living in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or emergency shelter continuously for at least one year or on at least four separate occasions in the last three years. Such persons or families must also be diagnosed with a specific disabling condition. These combined factors ofte n lead to isolation and a survival mentality.

City of Pomona 2024-25 CAPER

CAPER 21

Moving people from chronic homelessness to living in and maintaining housing requires multi- level solutions. In addition to suitable, acceptable and affordable housing, on-going supportive services are required to help the individual learn to live in the mainstream of society, to develop goals, and a budget addressing disabling conditi ons, and often modify behaviors developed for survival on the streets. Addressing chronic homelessness requires consistent and patient outreach.

In addition to providing suitable, acceptable and affordable housing, ongoing supportive services are required to help the individual learn to live in housing and as a part of mainstream society.

Pomona programs provide assistance to individuals and families in developing goals, budgeting, identifying and addressing unique challenges and barriers for full integration. Program participants are linked to services addressing the disabling condition(s). Ongoing case management supports program participants and helps them to identify and modify behaviors that were developed for survival on the street.

Addressing comprehensive layered solutions to chronic homelessness, the City has developed and maintains a complete Continuum of Care, from outreach and assessment to permanent affordable housing. The Pomona Homeless Street Outreach Team known as the Quality of Life Unit (QoL) is comprised of two teams who work in conjunction to connect homeless individuals to various resources to assist them in becoming permanently housed. The QoL is made up of the Police Department’s Homeless Encampment Action Response Team (HEART), which includes City facilities staff and uniformed officers, and the Mental Health Evaluation Unit (MHU). The City identified the need to create QoL unit due to the influx of homeless encampments that were being established throughout the City. The City was utilizing existing staff to cleanup up encampments which were established in designated fire severity areas where drought conditions exist. This was redirecting valuable resources and services away from the day-to-day tasks. The QoL team works to help provide a multi-tier approach to help the unhoused in our community while extending services and referrals to the City’s Hope for Home Homeless Services Center (H4H). In addition to intensive services and case management, the City participates in the LA County Homeless Family Solutions System and Youth Coordinated Entry System (CES). Additionally, the City, ESG and COC Subrecipients participate in the CES system planning and case management providing referrals to these systems to shorten the time that homele ssness is experienced while practicing shelter diversion. Moreover, the City of Pomona’s Homeless Assistance programs help residents finding themselves facing homelessness for the first time to quickly identify and contact appropriate lines of assistance. The direct line for assistance is provided in City Hall. The City of Pomona produces and provides homeless and homeless prevention information including contacts on the City of

Gaps in Service Delivery
The following are potential gaps in the institutional structure that were approached during the reporting period:
x Identify need for housing resources available to individuals and households whose needs may not be met within the current program framework;
x Because of the high cost of housing production and construction, look for additional ways to develop units;
x Look at the needs of the senior population and plan for future services; x Look at the needs of youth and family populations and plan for future programs and services that coincide with the City of Pomona Youth and Family Master Plan.

Integrated approach/vision and Regional Connections the City of Pomona has integrated several required programs and plans with its Consolidated Action Plan to ensure that all aspects of City government and related agencies (e.g., non-profit providers, private businesses and others) work together on a uniform vision for the benefit of the residents of the City of Pomona. Programs and activities funded reflect goals and objectives that are contained in these plans. Some of these plans and programs are as follows: the Housing Element, Youth and Family Master Plan, Capital Improvement Plans and others. These plans have been created with input from the public, other City departments and divisions, the Policy of Los Angeles, LAHSA and other agencies and non- profit providers. In addition, resources and programs are coordinated through the Continuum of Care and through regional work with non-profit organizations that provide activities to assist the homeless, those at risk of homelessness and ot hers within the community, as detailed in the Consolidated Action Plans section on homelessness and the Continuum. Organizational Structure The City Council is responsible for funding awards, policy creation and oversight of the other housing funds, management of the CDBG Budget, and administration of CDBG Programs, administration of HOME-funded activities , ESG-funded activities and development, implementation, and/or monitoring of other housing programs, including residential rehabilitation and home buyer opportunities.

The majority of staff responsible for implementation of CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs are in the Neighborhood Services Department, Housing Division and Housing Stabilization Division and include: CDBG Administration, HOME Administration, and Homeless Programs Administration.

These units have two managers to help coordinate efforts between the units and with other divisions and departments within the City. The City of Pomona participates in the Greater Los

CAPER 28

Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
Impediments are defined as:

Any action, omission, or decision taken because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin which restrict housing choices or the availability of housing choices, or x Any action, omission, or decision which have the effect of restricting housing choices or the availability of housing choices on the basi s of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin; or
x An assessment of the availability of affordable, accessible housing in a range of unit sizes.

To ensure consistency with the policies and programs recommended by the Consolidated Plan and to ensure continued compliance with Fair Housing Certification found at 24 CFR 91.225 (a)(1), the City has developed a new Assessment to Fair Housing (AFH) in July 2017.

Actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the analysis of impediments to fair housing choice include the following:

Amend Zoning Ordinance to address provisions for emergency shelters x Continue to facilitate the development of affordable housing throughout the City of Pomona
x Promote the Housing Choice Voucher Program to property owners throughout the City as a means of expanding locational choices for voucher recipients x Update the City’s Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan to reflect changing demographics in the community and adjust language skills of staff and outreach materials accordingly During FY 2024-25, the City of Pomona provided fair housing services through the Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board, and Housing Rights Center agencies.

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements The City will use various types of monitoring standards to ensure compliance with Federal regulations governing the use of CDBG funds. Monitoring procedures include: monthly desk audits, review of monthly/quarterly performance reports, review of monthly/quarterly financial billing, and on-site inspections. Performance of planned projects and acti vities of these funds are monitored depending on type of program and reporting requirements. Monitoring is viewed as a way to identify deficiencies and promote co rrections in order to improve performance. The actual activity of monitoring helps promote quality performance, as well as identify any need for further technical assistance.

The following is a description of the types of monitoring performed by staff:
x Performance Monitoring
x Financial Monitoring
x Davis-Bacon Compliance
x Section 3 Compliance
x Environmental Review Compliance
Monitoring includes: desk reviews, on-site visits, interviews, telephone contacts, and reports. The Subrecipient Agreement is used to measure funded agency compliance.

The City operates in accordance with the monitoring plan developed for CDBG and HOME Programs, including an annual single audit in conformance with CFR Part 200. The Project Monitors also monitor all activity of the program on a monthly basis, while financial management is monitored jointly by the Project Monitor, Supervisor, and the City's fiscal department.

A. Performance Monitoring Reporting/Tracking Systems . Performance is tracked and reported as stated above. The labor comp liance representative review reports. Any discrepancies are addressed with the appropriate entities. Records on performance are kept in the project file.

Accuracy of data is confirmed by site visits and monitoring.

City of Pomona 2024-25 CAPER

CAPER 30

B. Fiancial Monitoring . All project costs are paid on a reimbursement basis, rather than paid in advance. A request for reimbursement must have appropriate documentation attached to verify all expenditures. A current report of program activities must also be attached to the draw down request.

The combination of data from the request and the program activities report provides the data necessary to input data into the IDIS system. Collecting this data during the program year is very helpful in compiling reports. By requiring documentation in association with reimbursement, the City's Neighborhood Services Department – Housing and Housing Stabilization Divisions and Finance Department are able to closely monitor program requirements and ensure program goals are being met.

C. Davis-Bacon Compliance Monitoring . Davis-Bacon regulations require contractors and subcontractors to pay a certain wage to empl oyees in various labor classifications. These regulations are a requirement of CDBG and HOME Program Subgrantee agreements. All applicable CDBG and HOME Program projects are monitored regarding their conformance with Davis-Bacon requirements. The lead person in Community Services or Public Works checks the state board to ensure contractors selected are licensed. The de barred list from HUD Housing Page is also used.

Once the contractor is selected, the contractor signs a contract. The City representative conducts a preconstruction conference, reviews contractor and subcontractor payrolls, and makes site visits and interviews contractor/subcontractor employees. Interview forms are compared with appropriate payrolls to ensure hours and pay is correct. All paperwork requirements are kept by the City. Site visits give staff the visual perspe ctive of project progress and confirm reported performance and supplement written reports. Site visits are made to see how services are delivered to clients, provide technical assistance, and inspect progress of construction projects.

D. Environmental Review Compliance for each project that is budgeted is first reviewed for compliance with the National Environmental Prot ection Agency regulations (NEPA). California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) regulations may also apply. Projects that are community service in nature are exempt from NEPA. Projects that require further investigation are researched using input from Environmental Regulatory Agencies. For projects that fall in this category, a description of the project is sent to the State Office of Historic Preservation and to other applicable regulatory agencies for consultation. Once required consultations have been completed and any mitigation measures identified, the City prepares the appropriate paperwork, including the Statutory Worksheet and publishes a combined NOI/RROF and/ or a finding regarding impacts (if the project is an Environmental Assessment [EA]). Once en vironmental clearance has been obtained, the

City of Pomona 2024-25 CAPER

CAPER 31

project can move forward to City Council and/ or bid, etc., as appropriate. The manager monitors all Environmental Reviews.

E. Other monitoring Standards Compliance with Housing Codes/ Property Standards. In Order to ensure compliance with Housing Codes/ Property Standards and with local housing codes, the City takes the following actions:
x Incorporates local housing codes in written rehabilitation standards. x Inspects work write-ups to ensure specifications meets code. x Performs on-site property inspections to ensure property standards and local housing codes are actually met.
x Maintains an inspection checklist in project files.
x The City will implement the following actions as a part of its policy and procedures to ensure timeless expenditure of CDBG funds:

1. Monthly review of project expenditure rates.

2. Includes provisions in annual contracts and MOUs to subrecipients reiterating Federal requirements for use of CDBG funds, including timely expenditure of funds.

3. Group infrastructure projects together for design and bidding and design based on similar work, but tracked individually during the construction phase of status, compliance with labor standards and expenditures.

4. Evaluate infrastructure projects on a quarterly basis for status/progress and completion; CDBG funds will be transferre d from stalled or slow-moving projects, subject to council approval, to projects that are progressing toward construction.

Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reports.
