(5) households during the Program Year. The five (5) households served included two (2) extremely low-income households and three (3) moderate-income households.
To address what HUD defines as “worst case housing need” the City provided funds in the 2021- 2022 Action Plan for the preservation of the physical and functional integrity of existing housing units occupied by low - and extremely low -income residents who would otherwise continue to live in substandard housing because they were not in the financial position to properly maintain their home.
This includes at tempts to meet the needs of persons with disabilities by making necessary improvements which aid the mobility of the elderly and physically disabled such as shower units with seats, handrails, ramping and reconstructing doorways.
Addressing substandard housing conditions through housing preservation activities is a cost-effective way to invest limited resources to retain housing units that are already affordable to low - and moderate-income re sidents and ensure all economic segments of the community have th e opportunity to live in decent housing.

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
The most recent San Bernardino County Point-In-Time Homeless Count (PIT Count) conducted in 2022 revealed that on any given night in San Bernardino County, approxima tely 3,333 people are homeless, up from 3,125 counted in a prior effort undertaken in 2020. This includes 944 people in shelters and 2,389 people without shelter. In Rancho Cucamonga 47 people were counted who did not have shelter and 0 people counted who were sheltered, for a total of 47 homeless residents.
To reach out to unsheltered homeless persons and assess their individual needs for the purpose of connecting them with available emergency shelter and transitional housing resources, the City , through its Sheriff’s Homeless Outreach and Proactive Enforcement (HOPE) Team provided information and referrals – primarily to the San Bernardino County Continuum of Care (CoC), United Way 2-1-1, and the organizations receiving CDBG funds for homelessness prevention activities.
During the 2021-2022 Program Year, the City awarded two (2) contracts to non-profit organizations using CDBG funds totaling $ 25,000 to meet its specific objectives to provide public services that prevent and eliminate homelessness.
• Foothill Family Shelter: 120-Day Stepping Stones (198 residents served) • House of Ruth: Domestic Violence Prevention and Protection (44 residents served) Additionally, the City’s partnership with the San Bernardino County CoC and Sheriff’s Homeless Outreach and Proactive Enforcement (HOPE) team provides intensive, field-based engagement services and support that meets clients and their families where they liv e. As a result, the City has been able to leverage its partnerships with the County agencies to bolster its homeless outreach.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons To address the emergency shelter and transit ional housing needs of homeless persons, the City continues to support the Foothill Family Shelter programs that provide transitional housing, counseling, and case management to individuals experiencing homelessness as well as families at risk of homelessness. During the Program Year, Foothill Family Shelter served 198 unduplicated persons via its 120-Day Stepping Stones program.
Additionally, the City supports the House of Ruth ’s Walk-In Centers which provide emergency shelter and supportive services for survivors of domestic violence and their children who have become homeless after fleeing violent homes. During the Program Year, House of Ruth assisted 44 unduplicated persons.
City of Rancho Cucamonga - 16 - 2021-2022 CAPER
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 The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant business closures and other disruptions that put the City’s residents at risk of losing their housing. To help low -income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, the City provided $ 932,823 of CDBG -CV funds for short-term rent al and utility assistance to prevent eviction for residents experiencing housing insecurity. As a result of these efforts, the City was able to assist 175 households, 50 of which were extremely low-income who represent the highest risk of becoming homeless (accomplishments achieved during the 2020-2021 PY, previously reported on).
Additionally, the City supported Inland Valley Hope Partners’ Food Security and Family Stabilization program which provided 132 unduplicated persons with a five-day food supply. More specifically, these services assisted in minimizing these individual’s food costs thereby enabling them to utilize their limited resources on other key necessities such as housing, childcare, and transportation.
Inadequate discharge planning and coordination contributes to homelessness in situations where people are released from public institutions or public systems of care without having an appropriate mainstream or supportive housing option available upon discharge from an institutional setting. Public institutions such as jails, hospitals, treatment facilities, mental health facilities, youth facilities, and foster care homes are central to limiting the creation of newly homeless persons upon discharge.
In California, d ischarge coordination and planning is largely unregulated unless county or municipal ordinances provide rules preventing public institutions from discharging people into homelessness. One of the goals included in the San Bernardino Ten Year Strategy to End Homelessness is to formalize protocols and improve the coordination of discharge planning among key institutional systems of care and supervision.
The goal calls for the CoC to close the “front door” to homelessness so th at new persons do not find themselves living in the community without the social and economic support necessary to access and maintain themselves in a safe environment.
The City coordinated with the CoC and other subrecipients receiving CDBG funds to ensure that its HUD - funded programs are targeted, to the greatest extent feasible, to address the discharge of persons from publicly funded institutions or systems of care so that these individu als and families have access to public services and affordable housing opportunities necessary to prevent homelessness. The City will continue to explore additional ways to prevent and address homelessness caused by discharge from public institutions.
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
City of Rancho Cucamonga - 17 - 2021-2022 CAPER
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
To address the needs of homeless families, families with children, veterans and their families, the City provided $25,000 of CDBG funds for public service programs through two (2) contracts with non -profit organizations. These programs help individuals and families achieve stability through a housing first approach.
Each of these programs provide tailored counseling and case management services to people at risk of homelessness. During the program year, Foothill Family Shelter served 198 unduplicated people through its 120-Day Stepping Stones project. Similarly, House of Ruth assist ed 44 unduplicated people through its domestic violence prevention services program. When paired with financial counseling, career coaching, and other available case management se rvices, the City’s non-profit partners make certain that individuals and families have the tools necessary to succeed.
Additionally, the City’s partnership with the San Bernardino County CoC and Sheriff’s Homeless Outreach and Proactive Enforcement (HOPE) team provides intensive, field-based engagement services and support that meets clients and their families where they live. As a result, the City has been able to leverage its partnerships with the County agencies to bolster its homeless outreach.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
There are no public housing developments in the City. All public housing programs consist of Housing Choice and Project-Based Housing Choice Vouchers administered b y the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB). The data presented below is for HACSB and the narrative questions address the needs for the entire County, with specific references to the City.
According to the 2020 Annual Report (this is the latest report) , the HACSB administered a total of 10,508 Housing Choice Vouchers combined to serve approximately 24,488 people throughout San Bernardino County. Of those, approximately 440 or 4.2 percent of all vouchers in San Bernardino County were utilized by low-income Rancho Cucamonga residents. HACSB monitors all units to ensure they are in adequate condition, meeting the Section 8 Housing Quality Standards.
To enhance the quality of HUD Public Housing units, HACSB continued to work towards converting existing HUD Public Housing units under HACSB’s management and control to Section 8 units as part of HUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. HACSB had converted its entire original portfolio of public housing under RAD by the end of 2019. Subsequently in May 2022 , HACSB finalized its conversion of all RAD units with the 98 -unit Los Olivos development in Upland (FY 2023 Moving to Work Annual Plan, HACSB).
HACSB continues to maintain and expand the supply of af fordable housing units in the City and throughout the County through its partnerships with the State of California and San Bernardino County Department of Community Development and Housing. As the largest provider of affordable housing in San Bernardino County, HACSB assists approximately 25,000 people, most of whom are seniors, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and children. More than 10,600 families are served through housing assistance payments made to landlords on behalf of the families. Other fa milies reside in units owned and managed by HACSB. These programs provide a critical safety net for families in the County.
Additionally, private development with funding assistance from the Rancho Cucamonga Housing Successor Agency and tax credit financing through the California Tax Allocation Committee provided for Villa Pacifica II expansion of 60 senior apartments in May of 2019 and the Day Creek Villas of 140 senior apartments which were completed in October of 2020.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
HACSB encourages residents to be actively involved in the community and in the management of public housing developments through resident councils and numerous opportun ities for feedback such as community meetings and surveys. HACSB and the City also actively encourage and promote public housing residents to explore homeownership opportunities and programs through HACSB’s Homeownership Assistance Program (HAP) targeted a t current residents. The Homeownership program utilizes a variety of
City of Rancho Cucamonga - 19 - 2021-2022 CAPER
methods to aid participants on their path to homeownership, including Section 32 (converted public housing), Section 8 Homeownership, and a Community Land Trust. HACSB also encourages and supports residents in participating in homebuyer counseling programs and recommends residents use the family self-sufficiency escrow account to save money towards homeownership. Under the Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) Program, participants develop a five -year training and service plan that outlines the steps to become employed, increase their earnings, and become independent of government assistance. Upon graduation of the FSS Program, graduates are allowed to use the escrow account funds towards homeowner ship (HACSB 2018 Annual Report).
Under the Housing Authority’s HAP program, families are provided mortgage assistance for up to 15 years for working families and up to 30 years for disabled families. A total of 251 families have become homeowners through the program since 2000 (HACSB 2020 Annual Report).
In addition, the City provided several resources on services for foreclosure prevention and counseling.
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
Not applicable. The HACSB is designated as a High Performing Public Housing Agency.
City of Rancho Cucamonga - 20 - 2021-2022 CAPER
CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
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 a ffecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.
Based on the City’s 2013 -2021 Housing Element, the primary barriers to affordable housing in the City continue to be housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply and insufficient resources are ava ilable to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan includes strategies that will invest a significant portion of CDBG funds for the rehabilitation of 100 affordable owner-occupied housing units during the five -year planning period . Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set -Aside funds, the City will continue to leverage its CDBG funds to attract private and other available public resources.
Additionally, the City adopted an updated Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinance in 2020 that permits the development of ADU’s in any zone where residential development is allowed with the goal of increasing ADU production. Per the City’s Development Code, an ADU is defined as “an attached or detached residential dwelling unit which provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons . It shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation on the same parcel as a single-family or multi-family dwelling is situated.” Moreover, actions taken by the City to address various obstacles and barriers to entry resulting from public policies as well a s strategies to ameliorate those negative effects included but were not limited to:
• Continued to promote the conservation of mobile home parks through implementation of the Mobile Home Accord (Program HE -7) that serve d as a rent stabilization agreement between the City and mobile home park owners, implementation of the Mobile Home Rental Assistance (Program HE -8) that provided monthly rental subsidy to low -income mobile home households, and the enforcement of Title 24 as it applie d to mobile ho mes to ensure mobile homes meet applicable building code requirements.
• Continued to develop a procedure to monitor the development of vacant and nonvacant sites in the sites inventory and ensure that adequate sites are available to meet the remaining RHNA by income category throughout the 6th cycle planning period.
City of Rancho Cucamonga - 21 - 2021-2022 CAPER
• Continue to explore a system that establishes target densities by land use district and an in -lieu fee system that requires developers to pay a fee if the proposed projects fall below the targeted densities. • Developed incentives and tools to facilitate ADU construction. Incentives included:
o Fee waivers or reductions beyond State requirement;
o Pre-approved site/floor plans;
o Website information on resources and technical assistance; o Guidance handbook for property owners looking to construct an ADU. o CalHFA ADU Grant Program
• Provided fee underwriting, fee deferral, public improvements, and/or permit fast-tracking for housing affordable to lower income households, prioritizing projects that include units affordable to extremely low-income households.
• Continued to evaluate and improve the permit processing procedures to facilitate residential development.
• Continued to study the feasibility of an inclusionary housing ordinance. • Continued to explore addressing the provision of special needs housing in the Development Code. • Continued to explore incorporating the new density bonus provisions in the Development Code. • City implemented a commercial linkage fee for affordable housing.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low - and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not af fordable to low- income people, and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry.
To address these obstacles, the City continued to invest CDBG funds through the 2021-2022 Action Plan in projects that provide assistance to low- and moderate-income homeowners for home improvements, projects that provide public and neighborhood services to low - and moderate -income people and projects that prevent homelessness.
To address underserved needs, the City allocated 100 perc ent of its non-administrative CDBG investments for Program Year 2021-2022 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people.
The City used its CDBG funds to leverage appropriate state, local, and private resources secured by each non-profit organization providing public services. In addition, the City will seek to leverage other sources of federal, state, and local resources to compliment CDBG funds to meet the underserved needs in the community.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing -based approaches. To reduce lead -based paint hazards, the rehabilitation of housing units built prior to January 1, 1978, included a lead -based paint testing and risk assessment process. When lead -based paint was identified, the City ensured that developers and
City of Rancho Cucamonga - 22 - 2021-2022 CAPER
contractors incorporated safe work practices and depending on the level of assistance, abate the lead-based paint as part of the scope of work to effectively reduce lead -based paint hazards to children in accordance with federal regulations. There were no instances of lead -based paint identified during the rehabilitation of housing units under the Home Improvement Program during program year 2021-2022.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) During the Program Year, the City supported the following strategies and actions to reduce the number of poverty-level families:
• Supported housing preservation programs that ensure low- and moderate-income households have a safe, decent, and appropriate place to live;
• Supported public services through various non-profits funded by CDBG that serve the community’s youth, seniors, families, and residents with special needs • Supported a continuum of housing and public service program to prevent and eliminate homelessness
In addition to these local efforts, m ainstream state and federal resources also contributed to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start, provide pathways out of poverty for families who are ready to purs ue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally, in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKS, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and Medi -Cal. Together, these programs provided individuals and families with emplo yment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence and mental illness.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The institutional delivery system in the City is best represented through the collaboration between local government and an outstanding set of non-profit organizations that carry out a diverse array of public service programs to enrich the lives of residents. These relationships are collaborative-each organization partnering with the next to ensure that all City residents have the support necessary to lead fulfilling lives.
Affordable housing preservation activities are carried out by the Planning Department in partnership with housing contractors. Guided by the Strategic Plan, public service activities are carried out by non -profit organizations and City Departments to serve low- and moderate-income residents. The Planning Department works with the Public Works and Engineering Services Departments on city -owned public facilities and infrastructure improvements to ensure their projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations
Through technical assistance and the annual Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process last winter, the City continued to develop and expand local institutional structure by strengthening existing partnerships and leveraging the experience of organizations that previously have not participated in locally -administered federal programs to expand the number of program offerings available to residents.
City of Rancho Cucamonga - 23 - 2021-2022 CAPER
Actions taken to enhance coordination between pub lic and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City invested CDBG funds and will continue consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low - and moderate -income residents in the City.
Representatives of the City participate in the San Bernardino HOME Consortium. Additionally, City staff regularly participated in neighborhood meetings during the program year to coordinate the efforts of local organizations that are working in neighborhoods to address poverty through direct community engagement.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdiction’s analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) Activities implemented during the 2021-2022 Program Year followed the recommendations of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice that was adopted by the City Council on April 15, 2020. For the 2020- 2024 planning period, there is one (1) impediment to fair housing choice summarized below.
Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities: According to data from the City’s contracted fair housing service provider, the number of fair housing discrimination complaints on the basis of disability accounted for 62 percent of all complaints. The ne xt two (2) closest discrimination complaint types include age and sex, each accounting for 10 percent of all complaints. Throughout the region, the state, and nationally, disability- related complaints are the leading basis of discrimination cited by reside nts, accounting for approximately two-thirds of all complaints in some jurisdictions, demonstrating a lack of understanding and sensitivity of the fair housing rights of persons with disabilities who experience difficulties when requesting reasonable accommodations or modifications. In particular, persons with cognitive disabilities experience significantly more problems with these accommodations.
The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice included the following recommendation specific to the City:
• Work with the City’s fair housing services provider, continue to invest in landlord and tenant counseling and mediation services, facilitate educational opportunities for landlords and tenants to provide information concerning the law as it pertains to reasonable accommodations and modifications.
o For the 2021-2022 Program Year, the City contracted with the Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB) to provide fair housing education and general housing services to the City’s residents to prevent incidences of housing discrimination. I mplementation of the 2020 - 2024 Fair Housing Plan recommendations during the Program Year was principally undertaken by IFHMB, with the participation of the City’s Planning Department. o During the program year, IFHMB had seven (7) cable releases in the City (Channel 3).

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 e nsure long -term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements To ensure that CDB G funds are used efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulations, the City provided technical assistance to all subrecipients at the beginning of the program year and monitored subrecipients throughout the program year via desktop monitoring of reimbursement requests and quarterly performance reports.
Technical Assistance
To enhance compliance with federal program regulations , the City made technical assistance available to prospective applicants to review the Consolidated Plan goals, program requ irements, and available resources with potential applicants. Subsequent to the approval of the Annual Action Plan, a mandatory subrecipient workshop was held in June 2021 to review program regulations in detail, to provide useful forms and resources for do cumenting compliance, and to review the City’s compliance procedures and requirements. Additionally, individualized technical assistance was provided on an as -needed basis during the Program Year.
Activity Monitoring
All activities were monitored, beginning with a detailed review upon receipt of an application to determine eligibility, conformance with a National Objective and conformance with an Action Plan goal. This review also examined the proposed use of funds, eligibility of the service area, eligibility of the intended beneficiaries and likelihood of compliance with other federal requirements such as the National Environmental Policy Act, the System for Award Management (SAM) debarment list, prevailing wage, Minority and Women Business Enterprise, Section 3, and federal acquisition and relocation regulations, as applicable.
Subrecipients were required to submit an audit and other documentation to establish their capacity, and any findings noted in the audit are reviewed with the applicant. Eligible a pplicants were then considered for funding. The City reviewed quarterly performance reports and invoices throughout the year as part of its desk monitoring.
For CDBG public service activities, on-site monitoring will be conducted during the 2022-2023 Program Year to verify compliance. These reviews will include both a fiscal and programmatic review of the subrecipient’s activities. The reviews will determine if each subrecipient complied with the program regulations and City contract. Areas of review will include overall administration, financial systems, appropriateness of program expenditures, program delivery, client eligibility determination and documentation, reporting systems, and achievement toward achieving contractual goals. Following the monitorin g visit, a written report will be provided delineating the result of the review and any findings of non-compliance and the required corrective action. Subrecipients will be given 30 days to provide the City with corrective actions taken to address any
City of Rancho Cucamonga - 25 - 2021-2022 CAPER
noted findings. For CDBG capital projects and CDBG-CV economic development projects , monitoring will also include compliance with regulatory agreement requirements.
Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d)
Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reports.
In accordance with the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan, a public notice was published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin on September 2, 2022, notifying the public of the availability of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for a 15-day public review and comment period. A copy of the public notice is included in Appendix A.
The draft CAPER was available from September 2, 2022, to September 21, 2022 on the City’s website.
Physical copies were also available at City Hall in the Planning Department, first floor lobby. Residents were encouraged to review the CAPER and provide any written comments by mail to Flavio Nuñez, Management Analyst II, or via email to [email protected]. A summary of any written comments received during the public review and comment period are included in the CAPER submission to HUD as Appendix A.

CR-45 - CDBG 91.520(c)
Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction’s program objectives and indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its experiences.
The 2021-2022 Program Year was the second year of the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan. The City made progress toward its five -year and one -year goals for this reporting period and did not change it s program objectives or the projects and activities that utilized CDBG funds. The 2021-2022 projects that were able to continue amid the pandemic were successful and therefore, no changes are anticipated to be made for the City’s future objectives.
CDBG and CDBG -CV funded activities contributed significantly to the City’s progress toward meeting the high priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. As shown in Table 1 on page 2 of this document, CDBG funds a re contributing to all Strategic Plan goals including Fair Housing Services, Public Services, Affordable Housing Preservation and Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements.
The City’s residents faced new challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic including job loss, food insecurity, housing insecurity, and disruption to normal in -person public services. City staff ad apted to a remote work environment and continued delivering high quality services to residents throughout the duration of the stay - at-home orders. Non-profit subrecipients and City Department s altered their program delivery models to promote social distancing while continuing to provide essential services to low - and moderate -income residents. There were a few activities that were not able to convert to a socially distanced delivery model, such as the Home Rehabilitation Program, and various capital improvement projects that would require construction workers in close proximity to one another.
The addition of $1,591,323 of CDBG -CV funds provided a significant increase in the City’s capacity to address the challenges our residents face d. These funds allowed the Planning Department to develop additional systems and integrate new partners into the service delivery model to better address the needs of low- and moderate-income residents.
