MEMORANDUM
ITEM 10.2.

DATE:November 7, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM:Stefan Heisler, Housing Manager
Austin Knudsen, CDBG Consultant
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT 2023 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rancho Cordova to submit the 2023 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan (AAP).

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Directs the City Manager to make final edits and submit the 2023 AAP and SF424 Certifications and Assurances to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for approval, as required for the City to receive 2023 CDBG entitlement funding.

BACKGROUND
The City of Rancho Cordova has been a CDBG entitlement jurisdiction since 2006. As an entitlement jurisdiction, the City receives an annual allocation of funds from HUD. Each year the City is required to complete an AAP that describes how the City will use the CDBG funds for the coming program year. The AAP works as an application to HUD to receive CDBG funds for the following program year and is submitted as part of the Consolidated Plan.

The City must complete the public participation process as outlined in the Citizen Participation Plan, present the AAP for public comment for at least 30 days, conduct a public hearing to approve the Plan, and submit the approved AAP and program certifications to receive its entitlement allocation of CDBG funding from HUD. The City’s CDBG entitlement funding has averaged approximately $600,000 over the last couple of years, and the City estimates it will receive $600,000 in entitlement funds in 2023, plus rollover funds from the prior 2020 and 2021 program years and CDBG-COVID allocations. HUD will notify the City of its total allocation sometime between late 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. For this reason, the recommended awards included in the 2023 AAP, as well as this staff report, represent estimates and an AAP Amendment may be required once the final City allocation amount is received.

City Council Staff Report – Page 2 of 5

CDBG PROGRAM
The federal intent of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons, households, and neighborhoods. The City has a goal of using at least 80 percent of the City’s CDBG funds for activities that benefit low- and moderate- income persons.

All activities must meet one or more of the following national objectives for the program: 1) benefit low- and moderate-income persons, 2) prevent or eliminate slums or blight, or 3) meet an urgent community development need that poses a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community. To reach these objectives, CDBG funds may be used for a variety of community development activities, including acquisition of real property, rehabilitation of residential and nonresidential structures, construction of public facilities and infrastructure improvements, public services, and economic development and job creation/retention activities.

CDBG is an eligible funding source for public services, capital projects, and planning and administrative activities; however, regulatory spending caps limit how much funding may be used for certain activities. For example, no more than 15 percent of the current year entitlement funding may be used to fund public services, and no more than 20 percent may be used on planning and administration activities.

ANNUAL ACTION PLAN PROCESS:

The AAP process includes several steps.

1. The City creates a budget based on an estimate of the funding that will be available in the coming program year. This funding includes the entitlement for the year and any rollover or recaptured funds from prior years.

2. The City solicits feedback from stakeholders regarding community needs and opportunities. The stakeholders that are consulted include residents and groups that provide services to youth, seniors, low-income families, persons experiencing homelessness, persons with disabilities, and other government agencies and nonprofits that provide public services and public programs in the City.

3. The City releases a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) to solicit projects for the estimated CDBG funds and encourages potential CDBG recipients to submit project applications for review. The NOFA was released on August 19, 2022.

4. The City hosts a public workshop for all potential applicants and members of the public, to assist in the application process, answer questions, and provide a venue for public comment. The workshop also provides an opportunity to assess changing needs in the community. The City held the public workshop for potential applicants for the 2023 CDBG Program Year on August 26, 2022, and the workshop with members of the public on September 7, 2022.

5. To determine which projects best meet the City’s priority needs and goals, applications are reviewed and scored by City staff according to a set scoring rubric that is based on the needs and priorities established in the 2020-2024 CDBG Consolidated Plan. The

City Council Staff Report – Page 3 of 5
Consolidated Plan is a planning document which sets priorities and goals for the CDBG program over a five-year period. Applications are also scored on performance criteria, including the ability to complete the project in a timely manner and in compliance with CDBG regulations.

6. The scored project applications are presented to City staff for consideration and recommendation. The recommended projects are included in the draft AAP with estimated budgets.

7. A draft AAP that includes an updated needs assessment, feedback collected from stakeholders, and the proposed projects identified to best meet both community needs and City goals is prepared, publicly noticed, and released to the public for a 30-day public comment period. The 2023 draft AAP was released for the public comment period starting October 7, 2022.

8. After the close of the 30-day public comment period on the draft AAP, a final AAP is presented at a public hearing for any additional public comment and Council approval.

After Council approval, staff submits the final AAP to HUD for its review and approval.

Public Services:

The City received seven public service applications. Staff recommends funding six of the 2023 entitlement projects at the amounts indicated in Table 1 below. If the City’s 2023 CDBG allocation is greater than $600,000 as conservatively estimated, 15% of that additional amount will be split evenly between the FCCP Youth Health and Wellness and the Empowered Life Program.

Planning and Administration

City Council Staff Report – Page 4 of 5
Planning and administration activities for the 2022 CDBG program year include managing the CDBG budget, collecting and reporting quarterly reports from the CDBG recipients, completing the required environmental, labor compliance, and financial reports, preparing and submitting the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER), and day-to-day program administration. The City expects to have about $120,000 available for program planning and administration. From this amount, Staff recommends continuing to fund Sacramento Self Help Housing’s administration of the Project Sentinel program in the amount of $6,919 and $10,000 will be used to fund HOME monitoring of the City’s HOME units.

Capital Programs and Projects
The City estimates that $390,000 in 2023 entitlement funding will be available for capital programs and projects.

The City received five capital program and project applications. The applications were scored against a set rubric with a sliding scale that evaluated each project and program against criteria that included financial stability, readiness to proceed, and ability to meet CDBG requirements.

The ranked applications were provided to City management staff for review and evaluation to see how the applications ranks against established City goals. Four applications are recommended for funding as listed in Table 2 below. The following levels are provided for Council discussion. 65% of additional funding received by the City above the $600,000 estimate would be allocated to Rebuilding Together Sacramento’s Critical Repair Program to bring that project up to its requested amount.

Funding recommendations are based on conservative estimates of both the projected entitlement allocation and the amount that might be available from prior year rollover. The City may elect to increase funding awards if additional funds become available, or additional funding may be awarded to other activities listed above in the Program Applications scoring table. The City may wish to consider a mid-year substantial amendment, should a change in funding be deemed appropriate.

City Council Staff Report – Page 5 of 5

FISCAL IMPACT
The CDBG program’s planning and administration allocation covers the cost of administering the program, plus Project Sentinel administration costs. The public service grants are made to organizations that have diversified funding sources and are able to provide consistent services despite minor fluctuations in the CDBG fund. The capital programs and projects funding allow for the cost of both the actual activity and the costs of enforcing Davis Bacon labor standards and National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) clearances. The table below shows the funding to be received in 2023 and how that funding fits into the CDBG funding categories.

There is no expected impact on the City’s General Fund.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
The City of Rancho Cordova (City) is located in Sacramento County (County), California, and lies approximately 13 miles east of the state’s capital city, Sacramento. Rancho Cordova was incorporated in 2003 and has a population of approximately 73,147 people as of 2019 (2019 ACS 5-Year Estimates). The City became a US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entitlement jurisdiction in 2006 and currently receives one HUD-funded grant through entitlement, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). In 2017, the City became part of the Sacramento County HOME Consortium whereby Sacramento County, as lead agency, became administrator of the City’s annual HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) grant allocation.

Every five years, HUD requires that entitlement jurisdictions create a five-year plan, known as the Consolidated Plan, which outlines the use of CDBG, HOME, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and other housing and community focused funding provided by HUD. Each year of the five-year Consolidated Plan, the jurisdiction must create an Annual Action Plan, which serves as a one-year plan for the City’s CDBG program to help address community development and low- and moderate-income community needs.

This 2023 Annual Action Plan covers the performance period of January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and implements the third year of the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The City’s Community Development Department is responsible for implementing both the Consolidated and Annual Action Plans.

The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) administers and implements the HOME Consortium’s annual HOME funding allocation.

The City received [$600,000] for its 2023 allocation of CDBG funding from HUD. The City plans to use a variety of funding sources to meet its housing and community development needs, including Community Enhancement Funds and other resources as they become available.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The Community Development Needs identified in the Needs Assessment of the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan were collected through a community survey, consultations with local agencies, various outreach events, and a conglomeration of online data sources. Through this data collection and outreach, the City estimates its housing needs for the next five-year plan period. As population size, characteristics, and needs change, public services shift to address these changes as well. The City conducted extensive outreach to residents, community leaders, community advocates, City ITEM 10.2.

ATTACHMENT 2

Annual Action Plan

2 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
organizations, and entities and public agencies from surrounding areas. From the feedback received from this outreach and data collection, the City shaped its priority needs for low-income and community development initiatives within Rancho Cordova. The City pulled additional data and information from various sources, such as the US Census, Community Planning and Development maps, and the California Employment Development Department, to more thoroughly identify needs for public services.

The City’s CDBG program objectives and outcomes for this planning period (January 1, 2023–December 2023) are primarily directed at providing needed services for youth, individuals, and families at risk of homelessness; services for seniors in the community; improving accessibility to community facilities; enhancing conditions for existing housing through code enforcement and rental housing inspections; and supplying funding to give low-income residents a chance to make health- and safety-related repairs to their homes. These objectives align closely with the feedback that the City received from community stakeholders and past public service program participants that were interviewed during the completion of this plan. Please see Attachment A to view the questions and responses that were gathered during the 2023 Annual Action Plan’s community engagement efforts.

On November 7, 2022, City Council approved this Annual Action Plan, as well as the activities and projects that will be funded for the 2023 program year. The City is funding seven public services providers who will use CDBG funds to administer six programs. The 2023 public service providers and programs are as follows:
(1) Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s Youth Health and Wellness, which provides health and wellness mentorship and education to middle school and high school students to foster a safe and positive school climate for improved youth development, academic performance and career readiness.

(2) Meals on Wheels’ Senior Nutrition Services, which takes hot meals or frozen heat-and-serve meals to homebound seniors and provides lunch to seniors at the Cordova Neighborhood Church.

(3) - (4) A collaborative team has been developed between Sacramento Self-Help Housing, Rental Housing Association, and Project Sentinel to reduce housing discrimination, promote public awareness of fair housing laws and rights, and assist persons with disabilities. This team will provide a telephone hotline, tenant education and housing assistance, and mediation services for Rancho Cordova residents in a housing crisis or dispute. Sacramento Self-Help Housing will deal directly with concerns about tenant/landlord disputes, while fair housing issues will be identified and referred to Project Sentinel These organizations will provide two programs for the 2023 Annual Action Plan year: (3) Renter’s helpline to offer housing counseling services, as well as helping to settle tenant/landlord disputes and housing discrimination cases; (4) Renter’s helpline/fair housing services to reduce housing discrimination, promote public awareness of fair housing laws and rights, and assist persons with disabilities.
(5) Boys and Girls Club of Greater Sacramento, which will be providing food assistance to at-risk youth.

(6) USNRG, which will be providing youth mentoring to girls throughout the school year and part of summer
(7) Rancho Cordova Food Locker, which will be providing food assistance in low-income areas The City proposes to fund various capital improvement projects and programs to benefit the community. This draft plan anticipates the following activities:
(1) Rental Housing Inspection Program, in which the City Neighborhood Services Department inspects rental units in CDBG target areas to find and correct code violations in order to preserve available quality housing for the community.
(2) Code Enforcement Program, in which City Code Enforcement officials enforce the City’s code in CDBG target areas regarding issues such as blight removal and nuisance abatement. (3) Rebuilding Together Sacramento’s Critical Repair Program, which provides urgently needed repairs to homes that are primarily located in the CDBG target area. (4) ADA Sidewalk Program, in which City Public Works officials will enforce the City’s code in CDBG target areas regarding sidewalk maintenance.

3. Evaluation of past performance
The 2021 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) was submitted to HUD in April 2022 and is still under review.

Past performance by subrecipients is taken into consideration when scoring and selecting activities to fund. Subrecipients that do not show improvement are either not funded or receive less funding over time.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process The City initiated several efforts aimed at conducting community outreach and facilitating citizen participation during the drafting of this 2023 Annual Action Plan.

Outreach included local newspaper announcements for meetings and hearings, which all met proper noticing requirements; publications on the City’s website for upcoming CDBG activities; interviews w ith recipients of CDBG- funded programs and other community stakeholders; a community needs survey; and a public meeting to solicit community feedback (refer to Attachment A for full comments/results).

As mentioned above, the City conducted multiple stakeho lder consultations with local service providers to solicit professional feedback in the areas of housing, homelessness, social services, senior populations, disabled populations, youth populations, and persons living with HIV/AIDS. Please refer to the Process section (AP-10) of this plan for more information on the consultations that were completed.

AP-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction
The City of Rancho Cordova consulted with several local service providers to help identify local needs and evaluate opportunities for partnerships and improved coordination for the 2023 Annual Action Plan (see Attachment A). The City also invited public comment through a 30-day public comment period and a public hearing for the approval of the draft Annual Action Plan. The following sections discuss the consultation process, the public comment process, and the planned coordination efforts for the 2023 Annual Action Plan cycle.

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(l)).

The City’s Housing Division is striving to improve the City's affordable housing stock and continues to improve coordination for initiatives aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing in the region. Recently, the City has focused its efforts through various programs to renovate existing structures and build new affordable units for families, senior citizens, and disabled individuals.

The City’s Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) is one of the ways in which the City helps to connect homeless individuals and at-risk homeless individuals with needed services. HOT is composed of two officers, code enforcement, and the City’s Homeless Navigator. The team also builds relationships with homeless individuals and families to assist them in finding services, education, and resources to help them become self- sufficient.

The City cooperates with SHRA in ensuring that public and voucher-supported housing in the City is safe, habitable, and fully occupied whenever possible. Other collaborative partners include Sacramento Self-Help Housing, which works with the City, mental and general health providers, and other service agencies to help households in need find suitable housing. The City regularly looks for opportunities to improve communication and connect service providers and housing providers to help leverage services, reduce service burden due to repeat clientele, and ensure that persons with housing and service needs are directed to the correct providers.

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.

Sacramento Steps Forward is the nonprofit group that manages the regional Continuum of Care. The City cooperates with Sacramento Steps Forward whenever possible, including providing support at County Board of Supervisors meetings and promptly responding to requests for data, and through ongoing participation in the public Continuum of Care discussions. The proximity of the Mather Veterans Hospital and the Veterans Village housing project and availability of other services for veterans, such as Stand Down (which provides critical life services to homeless veterans) and the Veterans Resource Centers of America, all make the City an ideal partner in addressing the problems facing homeless veterans. Additionally, the City’s lead CDBG program staff is a member of the Continuum of Care and coordinates the City’s CDBG housing and community development efforts to be aligned with the Continuum’s most recent updates and goals.

The City also partners with the Child Protective Services Division and the Senior and Adult Services Division of the Sacramento County Department of Child, Family and Adult Services, including providing on-site workspace for a child welfare worker in the City Police Department offices. The Folsom Cordova Unified School District and the Child Protective Services Division assist in identifying homeless families. Sacramento Self-Help Housing, along with other services provided through the Continuum of Care, helps identify housing resources. The City has engaged in several cross-agency and cross-skill set team-building and problem-solving efforts to improve communication and identify opportunities to connect people with the available services as efficiently as possible.

Finally, the Rancho Cordova Homeless Assistance Resource Team (HART) continues to work with Sacramento Self-Help Housing to specifically address the problem of homelessness in Rancho Cordova. Most homeless resources and assistance groups are either located in the City of Sacramento or clustered in distant parts of Sacramento County. Homeless people in Rancho Cordova must first find transportation in order to have access to these resources. HART is working to bring more resources into the Rancho Cordova community to address homelessness where it is happening.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS Sacramento Steps Forward administers both the Continuum of Care and the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS); Sacramento County manages the available ESG funds for the Sacramento region. The City does not receive ESG funds.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting The City completed public meetings, outreach, and noticing as required by the City’s Citizen Participation Plan. All public participation processes were made available to the public. Additionally, staff conducted community outreach with public service program recipients. Public comment received during the outreach for this Annual Action Plan can be found in the Executive Summary section (AP-05). Several stakeholder consultations were held and are summarized in the consultation section above.

Survey responses identified the need for increased support for low-income persons and households, including the elderly, disabled, and homeless. There was also heavy emphasis on the growing need for mental health services.

Consultation responses from service providers identified the need for additional funding and better access to mental health services and other health care. They also identified the need for affordable and accessible housing, childcare services, senior services, and services/shelter for persons experiencing homelessness. Consultations also identified the need for more equitable community engagement and service provision as well as more detailed tracking of CDBG accomplishments (specifically by race, ethnicity, and gender/gender identity).

Introduction
The City of Rancho Cordova has been successful over the last several years at finding and applying for alternative funding so urces to help meet affordable housing development needs. These sources have incl uded tax credits, infrastructure infill grants, sustainable community grants, veterans housing grants, and, for the single -family owner-occupied housing rehabilitation program, CalHome funding. The City has also pursued other State of California housing fu nds whenever they seemed appropriate. The City will continue to expand its funding sources by researching and seeking additional funding opportunities.

The City receives approximately $300,000 in HOME funds through lead agency County of Sacramento. The City does not currently receive ESG or other HUD funds directly from the federal government or from the State of California.

The City received [ $600,000] in CDBG funding for the 202 3 plan year. This Annual Action Plan contains award amounts for each activity funded during the 2023 program year.

17 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Federal funds require additional regulation, labor compliance standards, and administration that can add a significant cost b urden to a new affordable housing project or a rehabilitation project. Unless the available funding sufficiently offsets the additional cost and labor burden inherent in federal funds, it can actually be damaging to a project budget to include CDBG or HOME as funding sources. For ne w construction and large-scale rehabilitation of affordable housing, the City prefers to pursue funding that does not significantly increase the build ing cost, unless there are sufficient federal funds to benefit the project’s bottom line. The CDBG allocation to the City does not add sufficient value to offset the increased costs for most of the City's affordable housing development efforts. Therefore, the City focuses CDBG fu nding either on projects that are already burdened with federal reporting requirements or on proj ects where there is no other viable funding source, and the project can be completed with the available CDBG funding. The City’s CDBG program does not have any matching requirements.

With respect to public service projects funded with CDBG funds, to best l everage the City’s available resources, the City will continue to look for opportunities to layer private and non -federal resources with federal resources and to require that CDBG subrecipients demonstrate sufficient committed non-CDBG funding, so that pro jects and services will have the best results for the community and the low - and very low -income residents they are intended to serve. These sources include tax credits, infrastructure infill grants, sustainable community grants, veterans housing grants, and, for the single -family owner-occupied housing rehabilitation program, CalHome funding. The City has also pursued other State of California housing funds whenever appropriate.

18 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City uses publicly owned land and property to support CDBG-funded administrative, planning, and project activities. The City also uses City vehicles, which are used for the CDBG-funded code enforcement and rental housing inspection activities to transport the code enforcement officers to the sites that are being inspected. Additionally, City Hall equipment is used to administer the day-to-day activities of planning and administration for the CDBG program.

The Folsom Cordova Community Partnership uses public school district property to hold mentor initiative classes for its youth programs, while the Meals on Wheels Senior Nutrition program uses the City’s Senior Center, which is owned by the Park District, to provide hot meals to seniors. In the future, the City plans to use City-owned property to build affordable housing developments.

Discussion
The City intends to use CDBG funds to support programs and projects that can best benefit from the additional funding. Because the City's CDBG allocation is limited, the City plans to complete the costlier housing improvements and production through partnerships and the use of alternative funds.

AP-35 Projects - 91.420, 91.220(d)
Introduction
The City received [$600,000] in CDBG funds to the City for the 2023 program year. The funding allocations from HUD are usually announced in the spring of each year. CDBG project applications were received and reviewed by an independent group, as well as by City staff. Each application was scored according to criteria that the City established as part of the Consolidated Plan process. Criteria included the organization’s capacity to successfully complete projects and programs, past project management performance, CDBG funding eligibility, how closely the project matched with the National Objectives laid out by HUD, and how thoroughly the projects addressed the community needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. Please refer to Attachment D for a copy of the application scoring rubric and application questions.

The City will continue funding health- and safety-related improvements to residents’ homes, public infrastructure improvements for ADA accessibility, and public services activities with its CDBG funding, as there are relatively few other funding sources available to finance these activities. Within public services, the City prioritized activities serving seniors and youth, fair housing support, and homelessness prevention.

Funding amounts provided in the paragraphs and table below are only estimates, pending announcement of the final 2023 CDBG allocations in spring 2023. Once the City receives final HUD awards, the estimated amounts in the “Project Summary” table below will follow the contingency guidelines outlined in the following paragraph.

Contingency Guidelines:

The City originally estimated that it would receive $600,000 in CDBG funds for the 2023 program year. In May 2023, HUD released the City’s actual allocation of [$600,000.] The City distributed the extra funding in the following way: Once the City receives the final allocation amount in spring 2023, 15 percent of additional funds will go towards Public Services projects, and specifically, to be split evenly between Meals on Wheels and Folsom Cordova Community Partnership. The remaining additional funds will be allocated to Housing Preservation Program, and specifically Rebuilding Together Sacramento. These additional funds are allocated based on higher application scores. If the final allocation is less than $600,000, then public service and capital improvement projects will be proportionally decreased from estimated funding levels to match actual allocation amounts.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
Priorities are allocated first by priority needs identified in the consolidated plan and adjusted annually from community engagement feedback received, second by the availability of sufficient resources to support a successful program or project, and third by the availability of local service providers to respond to the needs. The primary obstacle to addressing underserved needs is a shortage of resources, primarily funding.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution - 91.420, 91.220(f)
Geographic distribution of activities is widely varied, but most take place in or near low- and moderate- income areas. As seen on the attached CDBG Target Area map (Attachment E), the CDBG target area is dispersed throughout the City, allowing for a spread of eligible activities. The specific location of an activity largely depends on the type of activity. Some of the City’s 2023 activities, such as the programs administered by Meals on Wheels, Folsom Cordova Community Partnership, and Sacramento Self-Help Housing, are able to serve populations across the entire City, while other projects and programs are located in and provided to populations in the CDBG target area. The Rental Housing Inspection Program, Code Enforcement Program, and Rebuilding Together Sacramento will take place in the City’s designated CDBG target areas.

Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
CDBG Target Area 81%
Citywide 19%
Table 8 - Geographic Distribution

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Two activities are prioritized in the CDBG target area: The Rental Housing Inspection Program and Code Enforcement Program. These activities use a geographic boundary to track the number of units inspected, new cases opened, violations cleared, and staff hours spent in addressing housing problems in the CDBG target area.

Discussion
The City strives to make all of its programs and activities available to eligible low- and moderate-income residents regardless of gender, race, national origin, age, source of income, familial/marital status, religious affiliation, or disability. As a result, all public service programs, including senior services and youth services, will be available to residents citywide. Significant additional funding will also be used in the low- and moderate-income areas, as needed, for capital projects and programs. Because much of the existing City is in the CDBG target area, providing capital facility improvements and housing preservation services in the CDBG target area allows a significant portion of the City to receive improvements. Similar services are provided to neighborhoods outside the target area, which are funded via other funding sources.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j) According to the 2020-2024 Sacramento Valley Analysis of Impediments, some of the most significant barriers to affordable housing across all jurisdictions are:
• Segregation, which is manifested in disproportionate housing needs and differences in economic opportunity
• An increasingly limited supply of affordable rental housing units in the area • Disparities in the ability to access homeownership
• An increase in stricter rental policies
One obstacle specific to Rancho Cordova in meeting the needs of low-income residents is the lack of available resources for services within the City’s boundaries. Many services are located in the City of Sacramento or Sacramento County unincorporated areas, which are not conveniently accessible for the residents of Rancho Cordova. Additionally, local services often do not have sufficient capacity to meet current needs. To help ameliorate this obstacle, the City plans to use its CDBG funds to promote the local provision of services for low- and moderate-income residents in Rancho Cordova. Furthermore, the City will continue to work with area service providers to offer services in the community. In the 2023 program year, several organizations (including Sacramento Self-Help Housing, Meals on Wheels, and Folsom Cordova Community Partnership) will provide services in Rancho Cordova.

The City has provided services and worked to offer housing opportunities to underserved groups, including individuals experiencing homelessness and veterans with disabilities. The City continues its active participation in County efforts, the Mather Veterans Administration Hospital, and service provider initiatives to locate and develop a continuum of housing opportunities for disabled veterans.

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
The City has undertaken a number of actions to reduce potential barriers and constraints to affordable housing and housing for special needs populations. These actions include identifying funds in support of affordable housing development and offering fee reductions, regulatory incentives, density incentives, and the operation of a home rehabilitation and repair program, as well as several other options. These can be found with additional detail in the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element. The Housing Element includes a thorough analysis of governmental and regulatory barriers to affordable housing. The City has been aggressive in pursuing affordable housing development opportunities and has mitigated regulatory barriers as effectively as possible.

Introduction
The Community Development Department will be responsible for the management, implementation, and monitoring of the Consolidated Plan documents, including the implementation of each year’s Annual Action Plan.

City staff will administer the programs and activities funded with CDBG funds. These staff members will work with the individual City departments, such as Public Works, as well as partner districts, such as the Folsom Cordova Unified School District, to develop procedures and coordinate the administration of programs that will be carried out by these departments and districts. Designated staff will also work closely with the local providers of CDBG-funded services and programs.

While there are several constraints to meeting the needs of target-income residents, the primary obstacle is the lack of available resources for services within the City’s boundaries.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The need for affordable housing for lower-i ncome households and supportive housing for persons with special needs continues to exceed available resources. The City has provided services and worked to offer housing opportunities to underserved groups, including individuals experiencing homelessness and veterans with disabilities. The City continues its active participation in County efforts, the Mather Veterans Administration Hospital, and service provider initiatives to locate and develop a continuum of housing opportunities for disabled veterans.

T
he City also plans to use its CDBG funds to promote the local provision of services for low- and moderate-income residents in Rancho Cordova. Furthermore, the City will continue to work with area service providers to offer services in the community. In the 2023 program year, several organizations, including Sacramento Self-Help Housing, Folsom Cordova Community Partnership, Meals on Wheels, and Rebuilding Together Sacramento, will provide CDBG-funded services in Rancho Cordova.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing According to the City’s 2013–2021 Housing Element, 17 housing developments in Rancho Cordova provide subsidized housing, with a total of 1,585 low- and very low-income units. Subsidized units account for approximately 7 percent of the total housing stock. The City does not have its own local housing authority. Affordable housing initiatives and properties are largely handled directly by the SHRA.

The remainder of the affordable housing units that are not operated and overseen by SHRA are operated by various local nonprofits. The most prominent of these is Volunteers of America, which operates the Mather Community Campus transitional housing program, and Mercy Housing, which operates the 100 units of permanent supportive housing at the Mather Veterans Village.

The City has undertaken a number of actions to reduce potential barriers and constraints to affordable ITEM 10.2.

ATTACHMENT 2

Annual Action Plan

housing and housing for special needs populations. These actions include identifying funds in support of affordable housing development and offering fee reductions, regulatory incentives, density incentives, and the operation of a home rehabilitation and repair program, as well as several other options. These can be found with additional detail in the City’s 2013–2021 Housing Element. The Housing Element includes a thorough analysis of governmental and regulatory barriers to affordable housing. The City has been aggressive in pursuing affordable housing development opportunities and has mitigated regulatory barriers as effectively as possible.

Additionally, an affordable housing developer has applied for HOME funds from the HOME Consortium to develop a 28-unit affordable housing project called the Crossings at Woodberry. These units would be for families earning between 30 and 60 percent of the Area Median Income.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City complies with the Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 as implemented in 24 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 35 Subpart B. Compliance includes the following strategies:

Housing Rehabilitation: All housing rehabilitation activitie s funded under this plan will assess lead hazard risk before proceeding, including the planned Emergency Repair Grant Program.

This applies to any work on structures constructed prior to January 1, 1978. The work will comply with the appropriate level of protection indicated in 24 CFR 35.100.

All work on homes constructed prior to January 1, 1978, will have a lead hazard risk assessment conducted as described in 24 CFR 35.110.

At the completion of any prescribed lead hazard reduction activities, a clearance examination is required as described in 24 CFR 35.110.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City continues to fund public services intended to help poverty-level families. The City’s anti-poverty strategy is based on revitalizing Rancho Cordova’s existing housing stock to provide safe and decent places to live, and on supporting the services of social services agencies that promote income and housing stability. The City’s strategy also includes supportive services for target-income residents, including senior and youth services. For example, the City continues to fund Sacramento Self-Help Housing, as Sacramento Self-Help Housing provides vital services and resources to families who are homeless or are at risk of homelessness.

The City continues to fund other anti-poverty programs, such as the Senior Nutrition program offered by Meals on Wheels. Additionally, the City funds the Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s Group Mentoring Initiative. This program supports youth and enhances community involvement through ITEM 10.2.

Annual Action Plan

36 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
intensive one-on-one youth mentoring to help improve economic opportunities for low-income youth in Rancho Cordova.

The City uses non-federal funds to support many programs and projects, such as job training, through the Community Enhancement fund. In the 2023 program year, multiple programs will receive funding from both CDBG funds and Community Enhancement funds; those programs include Meals on Wheels, Rebuilding Together Sacramento, and the Folsom Cordova Community Partnership Group Youth Mentoring Initiative.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City has developed a monitoring system to ensure that the activities carried out in furtherance of the Annual Action Plan are done so in a timely manner in accordance with the federal monitoring requirements of 24 CFR 570.501 and 2 CFR 200 and all other applicable laws, regulations, policies, and sound management and accounting practices. The objectives of the monitoring system are described in more detail in the Consolidated Plan.

The City’s Community Development Department will be responsible for the management, implementation, and monitoring of the Consolidated Plan documents, including the Annual Action Plan and all other subsequent documents related to the implementation of the CDBG program.

City staff will administer the programs and activities funded with CDBG funds. These staff members will work with the individual City divisions, such as Public Works, as well as partner districts, such as Folsom Cordova Unified School District, to develop procedures and coordinate the administration of programs that will be carried out by these divisions. Designated staff will also work closely with the providers of CDBG-funded services and programs that are not carried out by the City.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
Staff has continually strived to provide training opportunities and technical assistance to grant subrecipients and has worked to establish “best practices,” with the goal of integrating them into the day-to-day and long-term implementation of the program. In addition, the City is continuing its initiative to coordinate activities with neighboring cities, especially in rega rd to responding to fair housing-related efforts. Coordinated efforts include joint monitoring of common service providers, standardizing reporting requirements to encourage efficiency and consistency, and sharing information from workshops.

During the 2023 program year, the City will implement contracts with local service organizations and City departments that provide assistance to seniors, youth populations, households at risk of homelessness, public improvements, and housing preservation.

In the 2017-2018 program year, the City and surrounding jurisdictions pursued a regional Analysis of ITEM 10.2.

Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The City entered a Memorandum of Understanding with the SHRA, and neighboring jurisdictions including the Cities of Citrus Heights and Elk Grove, to cost-share the fees to conduct an AI. The AI was completed in the fall of 2019 and the results are utilized by each participating agency for their respective Consolidated and Annual Action Plans, and for the SHRA’s Public Housing Authority and Capital Fund Plans.

Discussion
The City will continue its work with neighboring jurisdictions, such as the County of Sacramento, City of Sacramento, City of Citrus Heights, and City of Elk Grove, and agencies such as the SHRA and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, to address the regional issues that affect the needs of target- income persons and special needs populations. The goal in this effort is to reduce the burden of providing services within each jurisdiction through CDBG funding. The City also intends to work directly with service providers and local, state, and federal agencies (e.g., HUD and the California Department of Housing and Community Development).
