Introduction
The 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) is a planning document that identifies and develops a strategy to address critical housing and community development needs that can be assisted through federal funding sources, including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). This ConPlan was prepared using the eCon Planning Suite system developed by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The system prescribes the structure and contents of this document, following HUD's Consolidated Planning regulations. The Consolidated Plan is comprised of the following major components:
• An assessment of housing and community development needs based on demographic and housing market information;
• Implementing strategies to address housing and community development needs; and
• The Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan outlining the City's intended uses of CDBG funds for the upcoming fiscal year.
This ConPlan covers the period beginning July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030, spanning five program years and focuses on the use of described below.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): The primary objective of this program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for lowand moderate-income residents. CDBG funds can be used for a wide range of activities, including housing rehabilitation, homeownership assistance, leadbased paint detection and removal, acquisition of land and buildings, construction or rehabilitation of public facilities (including shelters for the individuals experiencing homelessness and infrastructure), removal of architectural barriers to housing needs, public services, rehabilitation of commercial or industrial buildings, and loans or grants to businesses. The City of Redondo Beach’s estimated annual entitlement of CDBG funds is $281,290.
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 5
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
For the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 to 2030, the City will receive an estimate of $1,412,855 in CDBG funds.
The ConPlan is divided into six sections, with the Needs Assessment, Market Analysis, and Strategic Plan forming the key sections:
I. Executive Summary
II. Process
III. Needs Assessment
IV. Market Analysis
V. Strategic Plan
VI. AAP
Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment
Per HUD regulations at 24 CFR 91.215, the City organized its priority needs such as affordable housing, homelessness, and non-housing community development. Priority was assigned based on the level of need demonstrated by the data that has been collected during plan preparation, specifically in the Needs Assessment and the Market Analysis; the information gathered during the consultation and citizen participation process; and the availability of resources to address these needs. Based on all these components, housing needs are considered a high priority, specifically senior housing, and affordable rental assistance, which are high priorities. Homeless services are a high priority, particularly homeless services and providing permanent housing. The top non-housing community development needs include senior services, which then correlate to infrastructure improvements for streets, sidewalks, and ADA accessibility, as well as parks and recreation facility improvements.
A summary of findings used to determine priority needs include:
• 71,576 people reside in Redondo Beach (2016-2020 American Community Survey) comprising 27,414 households
• 70.32% of Redondo Beach households experience cost burden, or spend more than 30% of income on housing costs (2016-2020 American Community Survey)
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 6

2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 7
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
During the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan period, the City has made significant strides in advancing its goals by effectively deploying approximately $2,028,300 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and CARES Act (CDBG-CV1 and CDBG-CV3) funds. These efforts were crucial in enhancing the well-being of residents and amplifying the benefits of federal grants.
Notably, the city did not receive allocations from the HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG), or Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) programs during this period, and therefore, these programs are not included in this report.
CDBG funds were strategically directed towards addressing the City’s most pressing needs and priorities. These funds ensured that high-impact projects and activities were prioritized to make the most meaningful difference in the community. Key areas of focus are listed below.
• Public Services: The City allocated resources to support a range of public services aimed at enhancing the quality of life for residents, including services for vulnerable populations and those in need.
• Public Infrastructure and Facility Improvements: Significant efforts were made to upgrade and maintain public infrastructure and facilities, ensuring that they meet community needs and standards.
The City also received Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus 2019 (CDBG-CV) during 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan period. This funding was allocated due to the spread of the infectious Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID19). The City created the COVID-19 Business Assistance Program that provided grants to businesses to properly respond, prevent, and alleviate impacts of COVID-19. This program assisted approximately 40 businesses owners throughout Redondo Beach.
Specifically, the City’s key accomplishments as of FY 2023-2024 include the following:
• Redondo Beach Housing Authority provided Veteran Assisted Supported Housing (VASH) vouchers for 36 veterans.
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 8
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Redondo Beach Housing Authority had 14 new contracts, 129 renewed leases, and 2 households successfully moved out of the Section 8 program.
• The City collaborated with the Department of Public Works to provide public facility improvements to two (2) community facilities, Alta Vista Park, and Wilderness Park.
• 1736 Family Crisis Center provided services to victims of domestic violence who may be in jeopardy of becoming homeless to 102 individuals.
• Project: NEEDs, an organization that provides hot meals and access to food pantry for individuals experiencing homelessness, served a total of 895 individuals.
• Disability Resource Center provided support for seniors to 9 individuals. • Redondo Beach Salvation Army, an organization that provides homedelivered meals to seniors, served a total of 85 individuals. • Venice Family Clinic provided mental health services to individuals experiencing homelessness and low- and moderate-income individuals to 65 persons.
Overall, the City has been and continues to effectively manage and utilize available resources to achieve its community development goals and enhance the quality of life for its residents.

Introduction
In developing the ConPlan, the City engaged with a wide range of agencies, including local and regional community-based organizations. The consultation aimed to collect data to identify the priority needs of Redondo Beach residents and find ways to enhance service availability and access.
Social service stakeholder interview meetings were conducted in June and July of 2024 virtually with representatives from the following agencies:
• Housing Rights Center
• Project: NEEDS
• Venice Family Clinic
• 1736 Family Crisis Center
• Salvation Army of Redondo Beach
• Redondo Bach Housing Authority
• City of Redondo Beach, Community Development Department • Verizon
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(I)).
The City of Redondo Beach operates independently, including the operation of its own Housing Authority. The City understands there is an opportunity to improve coordination between service departments and agencies. Redondo Beach funds several public service agencies, who also participate in the county's extensive network of social and health services. The City also collaborates with the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC) and affordable housing developers to address local homelessness issues.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness
The City of Redondo Beach collaborates closely with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) Continuum of Care (CoC). The City is part of Service Planning Area 8 (SPA 8) in South Bay. The consultation process revealed that homeless needs in Redondo Beach and surrounding areas are addressed by a network of agencies, including LAHSA, the Redondo Beach Police Department, local school districts, and social service agencies. For FY 2024-2025, the City allocated federal and local funds to organizations providing services to homeless populations and affordable housing organizations.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS
The Continuum of Care (CoC) uses the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to gather detailed data on homeless individuals, families, and those at risk of homelessness. This system helps communities collect information from various projects, aiding in needs analysis and setting funding priorities.
The City of Redondo Beach does not receive EGS funds directly. Instead, LAHSA administers EGS funding in the metropolitan area of Los Angeles.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
This section outlines Redondo Beach’s requirements concerning affordable housing, special needs housing, community development, and homelessness.
The Needs Assessment is divided into the following sections:
• Housing Needs Assessment
• Disproportionately Greater Need
• Public Housing
• Homeless Needs Assessment
• Non-Homeless Needs Assessment
• Non-Housing Community Development Needs
The Needs Assessment highlights the highest priority needs, which serve as the foundation for the Strategic Plan section and the programs and projects to be implemented. The data tables in this section are filled with default data from the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), created by the Census Bureau for HUD based on the 2016-2020 ACS. Additional sources are referenced throughout the ConPlan.

NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
This section examines households with housing problems, including (1) overcrowding, (2) inadequate housing conditions, (3) cost burden (spending more than 30% of their income on housing), and (4) severe cost burden (spending over 50% of their income on housing).
The ConPlan utilizes the following income categories:
• Extremely low: Households earning less than 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI)
• Very low: Households earning between 30% and 50% of AMI • Low: Households earning between 51% and 80% of AMI
• Moderate: Households earning between 81% and 120% of AMI • Above moderate: Households earning more than 120% of AMI The Housing Needs Assessment Demographics (Table 5 below) identifies 66,665 Redondo Beach residents in 27,415 households. Approximately 28% (7,805 households) are considered low-income, earning at or below 80% of (AMI) per HUD regulations. According to the 2016-2020 ACS 5-Year Estimate, 53% (14,619) households are owner-occupied, and 47% (12,795) of households are renter-occupied, with a vacancy rate of 8.33% (2,490 vacant units out of 29,904 housing units).

Table 12 – Crowding Information – 2/2
Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
Single-family households, particularly renters and those with very low to extremely low incomes, face significant housing cost burdens and would greatly benefit from housing assistance. In Redondo Beach, this issue forces single families to buy smaller homes, leading to overcrowding. According to Table 11—Crowding Information, there are 200 cases of overcrowding (more than one person per room) among households earning average income or less. All 200 cases are in single-family households, with 155 (77.5%) in lowincome households. These vulnerable households are in need of housing assistance.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
The Housing Authority plans to administer approximately 648 Section 8 Vouchers in FY 2025 (Housing Authority FY2025 Annual PHA Plan). NA-35 reveals that in FY 2024, the agency is assisting 452 households under the Section 8 HCV Program. Of these, about 76% households, or 344 households, are headed by elderly and/or disabled persons, while non-elderly, non-disabled persons head

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
the remaining 108. This highlights the need for affordable housing for individuals with disabilities.
What are the most common housing problems?
In Redondo Beach, the cost burden for low-income households is a significant issue. According to recent data, 56.9% of renters living below the poverty level spend more than 30% of their income on rent. This high percentage indicates that a substantial portion of low-income renters are cost-burdened, meaning they spend a substantial portion of their income on housing, which can limit their ability to afford other necessities like food, healthcare, and transportation.
For homeowners, the cost burden is lower, but it still affects a notable percentage of low-income households.
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems?
Low-Income families often struggle to afford housing, leading to a higher cost burden. Seniors on fixed incomes may find it challenging to manage housing costs, especially if they have additional medical expenses. Individuals with disabilities may require accessible housing, which can be more expensive and difficult to find. Female-Headed Households often face higher housing cost burdens due to lower average incomes.

Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance In Redondo Beach, low-income individuals, and families with children, especially those with extremely low incomes, face several challenges that put them at imminent risk of homelessness. Some key characteristics are households often experience severe financial instability, with incomes that are insufficient to cover basic living expenses. Many live in substandard or overcrowded housing conditions, making them vulnerable to eviction or
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 35
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
displacement. Both physical and mental health issues are prevalent which may be exacerbated by the stress of financial strains and unstable living conditions. These families may lack a dedicated support network, which may pose as a barrier when accessing resources and assistance. Obtaining and maintaining stable employment can also be difficult due to factors, such as lack of education, skills, or transportation.
There is a need for ongoing financial support and continued rental assistance to help bridge the gap between household income and housing costs. Case Management services can provide supportive services through personalized assistance and navigation to various resources. Factors such as Employment and Education Opportunities are needed to secure employment, which can, therefore, assist in securing housing. Access to healthcare, including mental health services, to address any ongoing health issues and prevent relapsing into homelessness is an important need as well as affordable and reliable childcare options to enable parents to work or attend training programs.
By addressing these factors and needs, low-income individuals and families with children can achieve greater stability and reduce the risk of homelessness.
Los Angeles County has an extensive network of churches, nonprofit agencies, and governmental entities that offer a wide range of services, including temporary rental and utility assistance. Agencies providing homeless prevention services recognize that the common goal is to stabilize households and improve their housing stability to avoid future housing crises.
The Los Angeles CoC recognizes that families and individuals who become homeless are grappling with underlying issues that precipitated their housing crisis. The ultimate goal for those serving individuals and families at substantial risk of homelessness is to help them obtain self-sufficiency. Activities and services aimed at reducing the incidence of homelessness include:
• Rent/mortgage assistance
• Utility assistance
• Credit Counseling
• Legal/mediation services

N/A
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
Substandard housing condition, such as mold, vermin, water leaks, and inadequate heating or cooling, can harm residents’ health and housing stability. Overcrowding, where multiple families share a home or more than two people occupy a bedroom, increases stress, worsens mental health, and raises the risk of disease. Households spending over 50% of their income on housing are severely cost-burdened, limiting their ability to afford necessities like food, healthcare, and transportation. Frequent moves due to eviction or foreclosure disrupt children’s education and social ties, often forcing families into poorer, high-crime areas with fewer resources. A shortage of affordable rentals may lead to overcrowding and substandard housing for low-income households.
Discussion
The City of Redondo Beach acknowledges the challenges of securing permanent housing due to high costs and income trends. The City remains committed to exploring innovative solutions to expand housing access and programs for its residents.

NA-20 Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing
Problems – 91.205 (b)(2)
Introduction
Redondo Beach faces significant housing challenges, particularly among lower-income households. Severe housing problems are defined as lacking complete kitchen or plumbing facilities, overcrowding (more than 1.5 persons per room), or spending over 50% of income on housing. This can affect a substantial portion of the City’s population, particularly the extremely low, very low, and low-income households.
Among households earning 30% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), 1,550 households experience at least one severe housing problem, with White households comprising the largest share (1,135), followed by Hispanic households (240) and Asian households (100). At the 30%–50% AMI range, 1,035 households face severe housing problems, with Hispanic (185) and Asian (130) households disproportionately affected. As income levels increase, the prevalence of severe housing problems decreases, but disparities remain. For instance, at the 50%–80% AMI range, 955 households experience these issues, while at the 80%–100% AMI range, 385 households still face significant housing challenges.
These disparities highlight the ongoing need for affordable housing, rental assistance, and supportive services to address the unique challenges faced by different racial and ethnic groups. Expanding access to resources is critical to reducing housing instability and ensuring that all Redondo Beach residents have access to safe, affordable, and stable housing.

At the lowest income level (less than or equal to 30% AMI), 1,550 households experience at least one severe housing problem, making up most households at this income level. White households account for the largest share (1,135 households), followed by Hispanic (240 households) and Asian (100 households) households. Black/African American households are represented in much smaller numbers (25 households). Only 420 households at this income level do not experience severe housing problems, demonstrating the overwhelming housing instability among very low-income households. 30%-50% of Area Median Income

Table 20 – Severe Housing Problems 80 - 100% AMI
Data Source: 2016-2020 CHAS
At the 80%–100% AMI level, severe housing problems decrease significantly, affecting 385 households, while the vast majority (2,325 households) do not experience these issues. White households remain the most affected (270 households), followed by Asian (60 households) and Hispanic (15 households) households. Black/African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Pacific Islander households at this income level do not report severe housing problems.
Discussion
The data shows that severe housing problems disproportionately affect lowerincome households, particularly White, Hispanic, and Asian residents in Redondo Beach. As income increases, the prevalence of severe housing issues declines, but disparities persist which indicates a continued need for targeted housing assistance and affordable housing development.

NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens –
91.205 (b)(2)
Introduction
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), a household is considered cost-burdened if it spends more than 30% of its income on housing costs. This includes rent or mortgage payments, utilities, taxes, insurance, and other related expenses. Households that spend more than 50% of their income on housing are considered severely cost-burdened.
A disproportionately greater need is used housing and homeless needs assessments. According to HUD, a racial or ethnic group has a disproportionately greater need when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of that group is at least 10% higher than the percentage of persons in the category.
For purposes of comparison, the City’s racial/ethnic breakdown per 2016-2020 CHAS data was:
• White: 68%
• Asian: 13.6%
• Hispanic: 12%
• Black/African American: 3.4%
• Pacific Islander: 0.28%
• American Indian/Alaska Native: 0.14%

Discussion
White households represent the largest share of cost-burdened households, with 3,600 households spending 30–50% of their income on housing and 2,620 households spending more than 50% on housing. This group experiences the highest absolute number of cost-burdened households in the city. Asian households are the second-largest affected group, with 745 households’ costburdened (30–50%) and 480 households severely cost-burdened (>50%).
Similarly, Hispanic households face significant affordability challenges, with 845 cost-burdened households (30–50%) and 600 severely cost-burdened (>50%). Black/African American households, though a smaller population group in the city, have 370 cost-burdened households (30–50%) and 60 severely cost-burdened (>50%). While their total numbers are lower than other groups, high housing costs still present financial strain. Pacific Islander and American Indian/Alaska Native households have minimal representation in the data but still experience housing affordability challenges. Though their numbers are smaller, these groups may still struggle with cost burdens that impact their overall housing stability.
While the data does not indicate a single racial or ethnic group experiencing a disproportionately greater need under HUD’s definition, it does highlight that the cost burden is a widespread issue affecting multiple groups in Redondo Beach. Lower-income households across all demographics continue to struggle with high housing costs, reinforcing the need for expanded affordable housing programs and financial assistance initiatives.
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 46
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Addressing these housing cost burdens will require targeted efforts, such as rental assistance, affordable housing development, and policies that support long-term housing stability. Ensuring equitable access to housing resources for all racial and ethnic groups will be critical in reducing cost burdens and improving housing affordability citywide.

NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion –
91.205(b)(2)
Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole?
No racial or ethnic group was consistently disproportionate across all three housing need categories: Housing Problems, Severe Housing Problems, and Housing Cost Burden. However, certain groups experienced greater needs in specific income categories. White households had the highest extent of housing problems, particularly at the lowest income levels (≤30% AMI and 30%– 50% AMI). At ≤30% AMI, 1,135 White households experienced at least one severe housing problem, making up the majority in this category. This trend continued at the 30%–50% AMI level, where 690 White households reported severe housing problems, far exceeding other racial/ethnic groups. Hispanic households also faced significant housing problems, particularly in the ≤30% AMI and 50%–80% AMI ranges, with 240 and 180 households affected, respectively.
In terms of cost burden, Hispanic households experienced a greater share than other groups, particularly in the 30%–50% AMI range, where 845 households were cost-burdened and 600 spent more than 50% of their income on housing.
While White households had the highest percentage of severe housing problems, they also have the greatest cost burden overall, with 3,600 costburdened households in the 30%–50% AMI category and 2,620 severely costburdened households spending more than half their income on housing. Asian households, in contrast, had lower rates of housing problems, severe housing problems, and cost burden than other racial groups. Black/African American households had lower absolute numbers but still experienced affordability challenges, particularly in cost burden categories.
While no single racial or ethnic group consistently faced disproportionate need across all housing indicators, the data suggests that White and Hispanic households experienced the most housing challenges in specific income brackets, particularly in terms of severe housing problems and cost burden.
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 48
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
These findings highlight the need for housing affordability programs but also that each racial and ethnic group face unique challenges that need to be addressed on a household basis.
If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? Expanding affordable housing and implementing tenant-landlord mediation programs can provide significant benefits for residents. Affordable housing ensures that lower-income households, including seniors and families, can remain in the community without being cost-burdened. This stability helps reduce displacement, homelessness, and overcrowding.
Tenant-landlord mediation programs can also play a crucial role in preventing evictions and reducing housing instability. Disputes over rent payments, lease terms, or maintenance issues can often be resolved through mediation rather than costly and disruptive eviction proceedings. Mediation provides a neutral platform for tenants and landlords to negotiate solutions, ensuring fair treatment and reducing the financial and legal burdens associated with housing disputes. By implementing and promoting such programs, the city can help maintain housing security, reduce homelessness, and strengthen community relationships.
Investing in affordable housing and tenant-landlord mediation benefits the entire city by creating a more stable, inclusive, and economically sustainable community. These efforts can help reduce the strain on emergency services, lower the costs associated with displacement, and improve the overall quality of life for residents.
Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community?
The City of Redondo Beach does not have distinct areas or neighborhoods heavily concentrated with any specific racial or ethnic group. However, there is one block group in North Redondo Beach that is predominantly Hispanic— Census Tract 6206.01, Block Group 1.
Although the City’s demographics are not significantly segregated, understanding even minor geographic concentrations can help inform

NA-35 Public Housing – 91.205(b)
Introduction
The City administers its own Housing Authority, which aims to provide adequate and affordable housing, economic opportunities, and a discrimination-free living environment for eligible individuals, as funding allows. However, the Redondo Beach Housing Authority does not operate any public housing units within the City of Redondo Beach. The City allocates approximately 648 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) as of 2025. While the Housing Authority does not own or manage public housing units, it recently partnered with Century Housing to allocate 20 project-based vouchers to a Homekey site for the Moonstone housing development project.
In FY 2024, the agency is assisting 452 households under the Section 8 HCV Program. Of these households, about 76% are headed by elderly and/or disabled persons, while 24% of the households are non-elderly and non-disabled persons. This highlights the need for affordable housing for individuals with disabilities. From March 2024 to May 2024, the Housing Authority executed 14 new contracts and renewed 129 leases. Two tenants moved out of their subsidized units and are permanently off the program.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units:
There are no public housing units in Redondo Beach.
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders
The most immediate needs of residents in public housing and those utilizing Housing Choice Vouchers in Redondo Beach are centered around financial stability, accessibility, and housing availability. The data indicates that 538 households are utilizing housing assistance programs, with the vast majority (537 households) participating in tenant-based voucher programs, and only one household using a Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) voucher.
The average annual income of project-based voucher residents is $15,563, while tenant-based voucher recipients have an average income of $15,497, highlighting their extremely low-income status. Additionally, the data shows that elderly individuals (273 households) and disabled families (104 households) are significant portions of public housing residents, indicating a need for supportive services, accessible housing, and long-term affordability solutions.
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large When comparing the needs of public housing residents and Housing Choice Voucher recipients to the broader population, differences emerge. The general population in Redondo Beach faces housing affordability challenges, with many residents being cost-burdened or severely cost-burdened, spending more than 30% or even 50% of their income on housing. However, public housing residents and voucher holders are overwhelmingly low-income and have even fewer housing options due to their financial constraints. While some households in the general population struggle with affordability, voucher recipients rely entirely on assistance to secure housing. Additionally, the data shows that only one household is utilizing a VASH voucher, despite the likelihood of more veterans in need, suggesting a gap in outreach or availability of supportive housing programs for veterans.

Discussion
These findings highlight the critical need for expanding affordable housing resources, increasing the availability of vouchers, and enhancing support services for disabled and elderly residents. Given the excessive cost of living in Redondo Beach, more investment in affordable units, accessible housing, and rental assistance programs are necessary to prevent housing instability and homelessness among the City's most vulnerable residents. Addressing these disparities through stronger housing policies and increased funding will be essential to ensuring long-term stability for low-income residents.

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)
Introduction
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) serves as the lead agency for the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC), overseeing federal, state, county, and city funds for programs that provide shelter, housing, and services to individuals experiencing homelessness. The City of Redondo Beach is part of the LAHSA CoC, which includes 85 cities and unincorporated areas across Los Angeles County. Within CoC, Service Planning Area (SPA) 8 covers the South Bay region, coordinating efforts among county departments, local governments, housing providers, homeless service agencies, and community organizations to address homelessness comprehensively.
Homelessness in Los Angeles County affects individuals and families of all backgrounds, ages, and racial groups. As housing costs continue to rise across Southern California, the number of individuals experiencing homelessness has increased, making access to shelter, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing more critical than ever. In 2024, LAHSA conducted the Greater Los Angeles Point-in-Time (PIT) Count from January 22–25, providing essential data to measure the scale of homelessness and guide strategies for building a comprehensive and responsive System of Care. In SPA 8, which includes Redondo Beach, the 2024 PIT Count registered a total of 5,428 individuals, including both unsheltered and sheltered people. Of this total, 1,436 individuals were unsheltered, while 3,992 were staying in shelters. These figures underscore the ongoing need for housing interventions, supportive services, and outreach efforts to reduce homelessness across South Bay.
Redondo Beach has made significant progress in addressing homelessness through initiatives such as funding homeless service agencies, partnering with affordable housing developers, and creating a temporary shelter. In the first six months of 2024, the city achieved “functional zero” for homelessness, meaning that more individuals were placed in housing than became homeless during this period. Despite this achievement, homelessness remains a challenge.
Current data indicates that 20 individuals are sheltered in temporary shelters, while 18 individuals are unsheltered and not in a dwelling. Additionally, 14 individuals are living in cars, 26 in vans, 7 in RVs, and 7 in tents. Compared to
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 58
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
2023, the city experienced a 5% decrease in unsheltered individuals, but there has been an increase in those living in vehicles, including 7 more people living in vans, 2 more living in RVs, and 6 more people living in tents.
While these improvements reflect Redondo Beach’s dedicated efforts to address homelessness, the city recognizes the continued need for homelessness prevention, supportive services, and expanded housing solutions. By working with regional partners and building existing initiatives, Redondo Beach remains committed to ensuring that all residents have access to safe, stable housing and that progress towards ending homelessness is sustained.
If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth):
In 2024, 5,428 people were counted as unsheltered in SPA 8, which includes Redondo Beach. This was part of the annual Point-in-Time (PIT) Count conducted by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). Current data for Redondo Beach specifically indicates that 20 individuals are sheltered in temporary shelters, while 18 individuals are unsheltered and not in a dwelling.
Additionally, 14 individuals are living in cars, 26 in vans, 7 in RVs, and 7 in tents.
Compared to 2023, the city experienced a 5% decrease in unsheltered individuals, but there has been an increase in those living in vehicles, including 7 more people living in vans, 2 more living in RVs, and 6 more people living in tents.
The following outlines notable statistics found throughout the 2024 PIT Count for SPA 8:

Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.
The data continues to show that historic exclusionary racist policies still result in a disproportionate amount of Black people experiencing homelessness.
Latinos remain the largest ethnic group experiencing homelessness.
According to the 2024 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, Black individuals are disproportionately represented in the homeless population of Los Angeles County, making up around 30% of the homeless population despite only representing 10% of the overall population; while Latinos, who constitute a larger portion of the county's population, also experience a significant level of homelessness, representing the largest ethnic group experiencing homelessness in LA County.
The following lists the results of the 2024 PIT Count:
• 2% of American Indian, Alaskan Native, or Indigenous individuals experienced homelessness.
• 3% of Asian or Asian American individuals experienced homelessness. • 35% of Black, African American, or African individuals experienced homelessness.
• 42% of Hispanic Latina/e/o individuals experienced homelessness. • 29% of White individuals experienced homelessness.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction
Certain groups often face challenges in finding housing and may need customized services and assistance. These groups, who are more likely to be low-income, include:
• Elderly households
• Persons with disabilities and developmental disabilities • Large households
• Single-parent households
• Homeless persons
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community Special needs populations in Redondo Beach include elderly households, individuals with disabilities, families with children, and single-parent households. Each of these groups faces unique challenges in securing stable housing and accessing essential services. These groups are considered special needs populations because they are more vulnerable to housing instability, cost burden, accessibility limitations, and service gaps than the general population.
Elderly households are considered a special needs population because they often live on fixed incomes, making it difficult to afford rising housing costs.
Additionally, many elderly individuals experience mobility limitations, healthcare needs, and social isolation, requiring accessible housing modifications, assisted living options, and supportive services. According to the 2016-2020 ACS, 16.79% of Redondo Beach residents were 62 and over, with
34.5% of households including at least one person aged 60 or older. As the senior population grows, there will be an increasing demand for affordable senior housing, in-home care services, and transportation assistance.
Persons living with disabilities, including those with developmental, cognitive, and physical disabilities, face significant barriers to securing stable housing due to limited income, a need for accessibility modifications, and reliance on supportive services. According to the 2016-2020 ACS, 12.1% of the City’s
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 63
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
population have a disability. Of these, 3.2% have ambulatory disabilities, 2.7% have independent living disabilities, 2% have cognitive disabilities, 2% have hearing disabilities, 1.2% have vision disabilities, and 1% have self-care disabilities. Individuals with disabilities often require housing modifications such as ramps, widened doorways, and accessible bathrooms to maintain independence. Additionally, affordable housing units that meet accessibility standards and in-home supportive services are critical for this population.
Families with children are considered a special needs population because they require larger housing units, proximity to schools and childcare, and access to family-friendly services and employment opportunities. Families with children often face higher housing costs due to the need for multi-bedroom units, which are typically more expensive. According to the 2016-2020 ACS, there were 17,413 family households in Redondo Beach, with 8,826 households containing children under age 18. Ensuring access to safe, stable, and affordable housing is essential for the well-being of families and their children.
Single-parent households, particularly those led by single mothers, are also vulnerable populations because they often rely on a single income, making it more difficult to afford housing and related expenses such as childcare, healthcare, and transportation. These households are at a higher risk of housing cost burden and financial instability. The 2016-2020 ACS reported 2,411 female-headed households present in Redondo Beach. Many of these households benefit from affordable housing programs, rental assistance, and supportive services such as childcare subsidies and workforce development programs.
Overall, special needs populations require a range of affordable housing options, accessibility modifications, family-friendly policies, and supportive services to maintain housing stability and a high quality of life.
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:
The 2022 Los Angeles County Annual HIV Surveillance Report provided the status of the HIV epidemic in Los Angeles County. There was a total of 53,999 persons (adult and pediatric cases) living with diagnosed HIV. Specifically,
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 64
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
there were 22 individuals aged 13 and younger diagnosed with HIV. Among the 53,999 total individuals, an estimate of 6,800 individuals were unaware of their infection. The County saw an estimated 1,400 HIV infections.
Los Angeles County reported disparities in HIV diagnoses by population and location. Among males, the highest rates of HIV diagnoses were in the Central Health District, but rates were also elevated in the Hollywood-Wilshire, South, and Southwest Health Districts. Among females, the highest rates were reported in Southeast Health District followed by the Central and South Health District.
71% of newly diagnosed people were assigned for a Partner Services interview and 62% were interviewed for HIV surveillance. Persons interviewed represented 44% of all persons newly diagnosed with HIV.
If the PJ will establish a preference for a HOME TBRA activity for persons with a specific category of disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness), describe their unmet need for housing and services needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2) (ii))
The City of Redondo Beach does not receive HOME Partnership Act (HOME) funding at this time.
Discussion
Housing and supportive services are crucial for vulnerable populations, specifically elderly individuals, persons with disabilities, female-headed households, and individuals experiencing homelessness.

NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs – 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities:
Based on community input, survey data, and 2022 American Community Survey (ACS) data, the City of Redondo Beach has identified a critical need for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements in public facilities and infrastructure. According to ACS data, 15% of the city’s population is over 65 years of age, and 12% of residents live with a disability. These demographics highlight the growing need for accessible public spaces that allow seniors and individuals with disabilities to navigate the city safely and independently.
Enhancing ADA compliance with public facilities, including the installation of curb ramps, accessible pathways, compliant restroom facilities, and improved signage, will ensure equitable access for all residents. These improvements also benefit families with young children, making public spaces safer and more inclusive. By addressing these infrastructure needs, the City of Redondo Beach demonstrates its commitment to fostering an environment where all community members can participate fully in public life.
How were these needs determined?
These needs were determined by analyzing 2016-2020 ACS data, which shows that seniors make up 13% of the population, with an increase of approximately 2% between 2020 and 2022. Additionally, the Community Survey conducted for the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan identified senior issues related to public facilities and community improvements as a priority for residents.
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements:
The City has also recognized the need for ADA improvements beyond public facilities, extending to sidewalks, crosswalks, and other public infrastructure.
These enhancements are critical not only for seniors but also for people living with disabilities and families with young children who require safer, more accessible public spaces. Lastly, with the increasing population of seniors, the City understands the need to improve public facilities and infrastructure to foster an inclusive environment in Redondo Beach.

The need for these improvements was identified through analyzing ACS data from 2016-2020 and priorities highlighted in the Community Survey.
Community members consistently emphasized the importance of creating a more accessible environment for all residents.
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services:
The Community Survey identified Senior Services for Community Programming as the top priority. Interviews with stakeholders also supported the need for public service agencies as organizations provided supportive services as well as needed services, such as feeding individuals experiencing homelessness, providing navigation services for victims of domestic violence, and providing landlord/tenant counseling.

MA-10 Number of Housing Units – 91.210(a)&(b)(2)
Introduction
There has been a dramatic increase in housing units and households since 1960. From 1960 to 1970, the number of housing units increased by 30% and the number of households increased by 29% whereas the City’s population increased only 19% during this same period. Significant housing units and household growth continued into the 1970s, before slowing down in the years following 1980. Between 2000 and 2010, 1,066 housing units were added to the City’s housing stock, representing an increase of 4%. However, between 2010 and 2020, the City population increased 5.2% along with a housing growth of
1.3%. The number of households (occupied housing units) increased by 1.6%.
Most Redondo Beach’s housing units are single-family homes (55%). The multifamily units are fairly distributed across 2-4 units (14%), 5-19 units (15%) and 20 or more units (16%).
Most of the ownership units are larger homes with three or more bedrooms (76%), with the balance being predominantly two-bedroom units (21%). There are a very small number of owner-occupied studio (no bedroom) and onebedroom units (4%).
Rental units comprise 50.1% of the occupied housing stock. Rental units are available in a range of sizes from studio (no bedroom) to three or more bedrooms. Almost half of the rental units (45%) are two-bedroom units with a large number of one-bedroom units (26%). The supply of rental units for larger families is limited to only 24% of the rental units with three or more bedrooms.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs.
The City of Redondo Beach currently has three primary housing assistance programs serving different target groups. The CDBG-funded Mobility Access and Emergency Repair Program serves low-income/disabled homeowners with minor home improvements to improve mobility access or provide for emergency repairs.
The City’s Section 8 program administered by the Redondo Beach Housing Authority serves very low-income households with rental assistance funded through HUD. The Housing Authority gives priority on the waiting list to families, senior citizens, and disabled individuals.
Finally, there are five publicly assisted affordable housing projects in Redondo Beach providing rental assistance to very low-to-low-income seniors. A small percentage of seniors in Redondo Beach, California are considered very lowto-low-income owners or renters, with the City reporting a poverty rate significantly below the national average, with only around 1.7% of households experiencing poverty.
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 70
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In reference to the City’s Housing Element 2021-2029, California Government Code Section 65583(a)(8) requires an analysis of existing assisted housing developments that are “at risk”. However, it is important to note that this may change from low-income housing to market-rate housing during the next ten years due to termination of subsidy contracts, mortgage prepayment, or expiration of restrictions on use. Assisted housing developments are defined as multi-family rental housing that receives government assistance under federal, state, and local funding programs. Assisted housing also includes multifamily rental units developed pursuant to a local inclusionary housing program, which is used to qualify for a density bonus, or other conditions for project approval such as development agreements. Of the assisted housing developments listed in Table H-29, two include units that are “at risk” of converting to market rents. One of the projects, Seaside Villa, is “at risk” due to potential termination of Section 8 subsidy contracts. The second project, Seasons Senior Apartments, is “at-risk” due to the expiration of a 30-year covenant. As funding permits, the City will work to preserve the affordability of these units to maintain the stock of seniors who needed affordable housing in the community.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? It is important to identify the rate of housing cost burden in a community to assess the availability of affordable housing. Cost burden is defined as households paying more than 30% of their income for housing. When a household overpays for housing, it has less available income for other necessities such as healthcare, food, and transportation, thereby impacting quality of life.
The prevalence of the cost burden generally increases as income decreases.
Cost burden impacted almost 83% of extremely low and very low-income households almost equally, and renter-households were more impacted by cost burden than owner-households overall. In terms of household type, the cost burden was almost indiscriminate, impacting all household types in the extremely low and very low-income levels, although low-income elderly owner households were less affected by cost burden than other types of households.
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 71
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City saw an 11% increase of the median sales price of a single-family home from 2020 to 2022. As of 2022, Redondo Beach had a vacancy rate of 8.58% (2022 ACS). This may indicate the City has available units but does not meet the economic status of the current population. Due to high costs of purchasing property and constructing homes, there may be financial burden to Redondo Beach residents in securing housing.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
The City of Redondo Beach has a variety of housing needs, such as affordable housing for seniors, including single-family homes, multi-family homes, and affordable housing and emergency shelters. The City is working to address these needs through policies, programs, and zoning code amendments.
Discussion
It is important to identify the rate of housing cost burden in a community to assess the availability of affordable housing. The City’s housing market is somewhat competitive. Homes in Redondo Beach receive three offers on average and sell in around 51 days. The median sale price of a home in Redondo Beach was $1.6M in January 2025, up 12.0% since last year. The median sale price per square foot in Redondo Beach this time last year was $823, which indicates an increase of 4.4% compared to 2024.

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction
Housing costs impact the affordability of housing for residents across different income groups. Table 33 indicates that housing costs have decreased from 2009 to 2020 for owners but have risen for renters. The median home value increased by 32% from a median home value of $736,100 in 2009 to $974,200 in 2020. Although increasing, the high cost of ownership units makes it prohibitive for low-income households to purchase housing in Redondo Beach. Rents have increased by 34% from a median monthly rent of $1,547 in 2010 to $2,067 in 2020.
In 2020, the median sales price for a single-family home in Redondo Beach was $1,160,000. In 2021 this rose to $1,316,500, which is a 13.5% increase. While the median sales prices of homes in Redondo Beach were higher than those of neighboring Torrance, prices remained significantly lower than those in nearby Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Rancho Palos Verdes. Overall, median sales prices for homes in the South Bay region were far higher than the median sales price for homes in Los Angeles County as a whole.
In May 2021, 30 units were listed for rent in the City of Redondo Beach. Rents for these housing units ranged from $1,495 (for a one-bedroom apartment) to $6,500 (for a four- bedroom rental). It should be noted that these rent ranges are based on the City’s vacant rental units only and not all rental units in general. The median rent levels in Redondo Beach ranged from $2,300 for a one-bedroom apartment to $5,300 for a housing unit with four or more bedrooms.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? Housing is considered affordable when housing costs do not exceed 30% of a household’s income. The data reveals a significant shortage of affordable housing for both extremely low- and very low-income households.
Casa de Los Amigos, Seasons Senior Apartments, and Seaside Villa are publicly assisted, affordable rental housing projects in Redondo Beach. These assisted
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 74
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
developments serve the senior population with a total capacity of 333 units, of which 203 are deed restricted for lower income use. In addition to these rental housing projects, the City has also created affordable ownership housing as part of its inclusionary housing requirement within the Coastal Zone.
The high cost of housing in Redondo Beach results in households having to pay more than 30% of their household income on housing costs. This may be possible for higher income homeowners, but it becomes a financial hardship for extremely low- and very low-income households.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
Housing is the key to reducing intergenerational poverty and increasing economic mobility. Increasing access to affordable housing may be the most cost-effective strategy for reducing childhood poverty and increasing economic mobility in the United States.
Housing affordability can be inferred by comparing the cost of renting or owning a home in Redondo Beach with the maximum affordable housing costs to households which are earned at different income levels. This information can provide a picture of what size and type of housing they can afford as well as indicate the type of household that would likely experience overcrowding or overpayment.
In 2020, the median housing value for a single-family home in Redondo Beach was $974,200. In 2022 this rose to $1,288,300, a 32% increase. While the median housing value of homes in Redondo Beach were higher than those of neighboring Torrance, prices remained significantly lower than those in nearby Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Rancho Palos Verdes. Overall, median sales prices for homes in the South Bay region were far higher than the median sales price for homes in Los Angeles County as a whole.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 75
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The average rent in Redondo Beach is $2,165. The County of Los Angeles has an average rent price of $1,534. Lastly, the State of California reflects rent at $1,586 (2016-2020 ACS). In Redondo Beach, the median rent for all property types and bedroom is higher than the average rent, which Redondo Beach also has a higher median rent than the national average.
HUD’s listing of 2025 Fair Market Rents in the Los Angeles-Long Beach Metro area is as follows:
1 Bedroom 2 Bedrooms 3 Bedrooms 4 Bedrooms
$2,480 $3,130 $3,980 $4,410
Tenant-based rent subsidies could be used to preserve the affordability of housing. Like Section 8 vouchers, the City, through a variety of potential funding so. es, could provide assistance to very low-income households. The level of the subsidy required to preserve the at-risk affordable housing is estimated to equal the Fair Market Rent for a unit minus the housing cost affordable by a very low-income household. Subsidizing the very low-income at-risk units would require approximately $541,800 annually, with an average of $645 per unit per month. However, the Redondo Beach Housing Authority receives approximately $7,200,000 in total funding for HCV and VASH. In March, April, and May 2024, the City spent $2,080,316 on housing assistance payments with the average per unit cost at $1,568 a month. This shows that the Housing Authority has a higher spending per household to housing its residents with fair market rents.
Discussion
The annual income for extremely low, very low, low, and moderate-income households by the size of the household and the maximum affordable housing payments are based on the federal standard of 30% of household income.
From these income and housing cost limits, the maximum affordable home prices and rents are determined. Based on the rents and home prices, lower income households cannot afford housing in Redondo Beach. Moderate income households (with five or more members) at the high end of the income range may be able to afford small rental units in the City only.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
Maintenance and improvements of current housing stock are key components of an overall housing strategy. The tables in this section provide details on the condition of housing units throughout the region by looking at factors such as age, vacancy, and the prevalence of housing problems.
As defined by HUD, the four housing problems are:
• A home which lacks complete or adequate kitchen facilities; • A home which lacks complete or adequate plumbing facilities; • A home which is overcrowded (having more than one person per room); and
• A home that is cost burdened (paying 30% or more of their income towards housing costs)
It is important to recognize that safe and secure housing is more than just an available physical space. The quality of the space and its ability to meet the needs of the residents is vital to housing security.
Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation":
Standard Condition is housing that is safe, habitable, and free of health and safety hazards.
• Health and Safety: The housing must be free of health and safety hazards, such as carbon monoxide, electrical hazards, and mold • Lighting: Rooms must have enough natural or artificial light for normal activities
• Electrical: There must be enough electrical sources for essential appliances, and electrical fixtures and wiring must be safe from fire • Windows: There must be at least one window in the living room and each sleeping room
• Kitchen and bathroom: The kitchen and bathroom must have a permanent light fixture and at least one electrical outlet in the kitchen
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 77
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Living room and bedrooms: The living room and each bedroom must have at least two electrical outlets
• Space and security: The dwelling unit must have enough space and security for the family
Substandard condition is a condition that puts the safety, health, or welfare of the occupants or public at risk. This can include issues with sanitation, ventilation, heating, and more. Examples of substandard housing include the following:
• Inadequate sanitation: A lack of plumbing, hot and cold water, or bathrooms
• Structural hazards: Deteriorated walls, floors, ceilings, or roofs • Fire hazards: Defective equipment, combustible waste, or other materials that could cause a fire
• Faulty weather protection: Chipped or peeling paint, loose plaster, or a lack of exterior wall coverage
• Insects or vermin: The presence of insects or rodents • Dampness: A condition that endangers health and safety • Overcrowding: Too many people living in a space

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
In Los Angeles County, 85.9% of the Countywide housing stock may be susceptible to deterioration because it was built prior to 1990. Also, over 60% of the County’s housing stock is over 50 years old. This could mean that the County has many units in multiple communities that require substantial rehabilitation.
The City estimates that about 165 housing units in Redondo Beach are in substandard condition. The City’s Code Enforcement Staff estimate complaints
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 79
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
concerning dilapidated structures and dwelling units in need of substantial rehabilitation are filed at a rate of approximate 1-3 per month. The City’s Code Enforcement Staff notes current trends concerning substandard housing conditions generally evolve from unpermitted conversions of portions of existing structures and older residential units with owners that have aged in place or where the original owners have deceased and left their properties to children or grandchildren and the residences are either vacant for extended periods or converted to rental properties with minimal maintenance. Although some of the units considered as substandard have been rehabilitated, many are in the same condition.
Housing age is frequently used as an indicator of housing conditions. In general, residential structures over 30 years of age require minor repairs and modernization improvements, while units over 50 years of age are likely to require major rehabilitation such as roofing, plumbing, and electrical system repairs. Over 65% of housing is over 40 years old in the City according to the 2016-2020 ACS.
Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low- or Moderate-Income Families with LBP Hazards
Lead-based paint for residential homes was banned in 1978. Table 39 above illustrates the estimated risk of lead-based paint hazards for all households.
Approximately 54% of owner-occupied households and 77% of renteroccupied households were at risk of exposure to lead-based paint.
Discussion
The City of Redondo Beach aims to conserve and improve the current housing stock by maintaining community investment and providing affordable housing. The City recognizes that deferred maintenance and addressing deteriorating conditions not only the residents’ safety but also the City’s housing units.

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d) Introduction
The special needs population typically refers to individuals who require additional support or services due to physical, mental, or developmental disabilities, as well as other conditions such as chronic health issues, homelessness, or those who may face significant life challenges.
Special needs populations have been identified in the City of Redondo Beach to include the elderly, which includes the frail elderly, and persons with disabilities. The City recognizes that special needs populations are faced with challenges due to their low income and other special conditions. Special needs populations are more likely to become homeless due to these factors, therefore require housing and supportive services. Consequently, the City considers supportive services and housing for special needs populations as a high priority.
Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs
The City has provided and would like to continue to provide funding to 1736 Family Crisis Center, a social service agency that offers housing for victims of domestic violence and families experiencing homelessness, along with Project:
NEEDS, which provides hot meals and access to a food pantry for individuals experiencing homelessness.
The City would like to partner with Project: NEEDs, an organization that provides hot meals and food pantry access to individuals experiencing homelessness.
They also coordinate with CES to ensure individuals are provided with access to additional services.
Additionally, the City would like to collaborate with the Housing Rights Center, an agency that provides fair housing education and investigates discrimination complaints, along with Disability Community Resource Center,
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 89
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
a public service agency that provides independent living skills training in personal care and referrals for housing and additional services.
The City would like to continue their partnership with Harbor Interfaith Services, which is the leading agency in administering the Pallet Shelter Program. The Pallet Shelter Program provides temporary housing for individuals experiencing homelessness and provides case management services.
The City partnered with Century Housing, an affordable housing developer, for the development of Moonstone. This project converted 20 units at the Pacific Inn Motel into permanent supportive housing. The City would like to leverage Moonstone for individuals who are transitioning out of the Pallet Shelter Program.
Lastly, the City will continue collaborating with Venice Family Clinic, formerly known as South Bay Family Health Care Center, to provide services through the Behavioral Health Program. This program will assist individuals to cope with impact trauma and stress on health and wellbeing. Services offered include therapy, parenting services, crisis intervention, safety planning, domestic violence counseling, referrals, substance use therapy, and MedicationAssisted Treatment.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health acknowledges that housing provides a fundamental level of stability for people to achieve their goals of wellness, recovery, and eventual self-sufficiency. The County offers Project-Based Operational Subsidy funds for subsidies for unit-based permanent supportive housing, which includes youth-oriented programs to address the long-term housing needs of persons with serious mental illness and emotional problems.
Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e)

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment
With rising home prices in the City and surrounding communities, there are cost barriers for households wanting to live in Redondo Beach. The lack of affordable housing for residents is a cause for possible displacement. With a high portion of supportive housing in the City being privately owned, there are fewer opportunities for community-based housing. Housing affordability can be inferred by comparing the cost of renting or owning a home in Redondo Beach with the maximum affordable housing costs to households which earn different income levels. This information can provide a picture of who can afford what size and type of housing as well as indicate the type of households that would most likely experience overcrowding or overpayment.
California Government Code Section 65583(a)(8) requires the Housing Element to include an analysis of existing assisted housing developments that are “at risk”. Assisted housing developments are defined as multi-family rental housing that receive government assistance under federal programs listed in Government Code Section 65863.10(a) (such as Section 8/HUD), state and local multifamily revenue bond programs, local redevelopment programs, the federal Community Planning and Development funds, or local in-lieu fees.
Assisted housing also includes multifamily rental units developed pursuant to a local inclusionary housing program or used to qualify for a density bonus.
Of the three assisted rental housing developments in the City of Redondo Beach, namely Seaside Villa and Seasons Senior Apartments, include units that are “at risk” of converting to market rents during 2021-2031. A total of 70 units for these two projects are at risk of converting to market rate housing during this analysis period. Seaside Villa is “at risk” due to the need to renew Section 8 contracts periodically and the owner may opt out of the program. Seaside Villa, under the Section 8 program, is receiving rents that are at 131% HUD’s Fair Market Rent level, according to HUD’s database. Therefore, the project is not likely to opt out of the Section 8 program. Seasons Senior Apartments was funded with a multi-family housing revenue bond and includes only 20% of the units as
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 92
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
affordable. The affordability restriction for Seasons Senior Apartments is due to expire in 2025. Bond-funded projects are typically more at risk of converting to market rate as the projects are owned by for-profit owners and only 20% of the units are deed restricted with no ongoing subsidies such as Section 8. Once 20% of the units become eligible for converting to market rate, it is likely the units will be rented at market rate unless financial incentives are made available to maintain these units as affordable.
Purchase of Affordability Covenant is an option to preserve the affordability of at-risk projects is to provide an incentive package to the owners to maintain the project as low-income housing. Incentives could include writing down the interest rate on the remaining loan balance, and/or supplementing the Section 8 subsidy amount received to market levels. The feasibility of this option depends on whether the property is highly leveraged. By providing lump sum financial incentives or ongoing subsidies in rents or reduced mortgage interest rates to the owner, the City can ensure that some or all the units remain affordable.
Government housing regulations are necessary to ensure that housing is constructed and maintained in a safe manner, to ensure that the density and design of housing is consistent with community standards, and to facilitate the provision of adequate infrastructure to support new housing. Nonetheless, government regulations, including local Measure DD, can potentially have an inhibiting or constraining effect on housing development. This can be particularly true for affordable housing, which must be developed in a costefficient manner. The City of Redondo Beach has not adopted regulations that are specifically intended to control the rate or amount of housing development that may occur. On a comparative basis, City fees, procedures, and requirements related to housing development in Redondo Beach are comparable to other cities in the region which indicates Redondo Beach’s housing market are not excessive or highly restrictive.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") HUD defines racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAPs) as census tract areas with a non-white population of 50% and a poverty rate that exceeds 40% or is three or more times the average tract poverty rate for the metropolitan/micropolitan area, whichever threshold is lower. The City of Redondo Beach has no R/ECAP areas.
Beginning 2014, the City of
Redondo Beach was
identified as an Exception
Grantee. An exception
grantee refers to a
jurisdiction that qualifies for
certain exceptions under the
Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program.
Typically, CDBG-funded
activities must benefit lowand moderate-income (LMI)
persons. However, in some
communities, there are no
areas where 51% of the
residents are LMI. For these
communities, the CDBG law
allows exception criterion.
Specifically, an activity can
be considered to benefit LMI
persons if it serves an area
within the highest quartile of all areas in the jurisdiction in terms of the concentration of LMI persons. This means that even if the area served by the activity doesn't have 51% LMI residents, it can still qualify for CDBG funds if it meets this exception criterion.
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 103
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
During the first year of the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan, the City identified the exception threshold of 33.33%. This percentage represents the minimum percentage of low- and moderate-income residents who must reside in the serviced area and have an area-benefited activity with CDBG funds, specifically in Redondo Beach.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
HUD tracks racial or ethnic dissimilarity trends for jurisdictions and regions.
Dissimilarity indices show the extent of distribution between two groups, in this case racial/ethnic groups, across census tracts. HUD defines dissimilarity through the following index:
• < 40: Low Segregation
• 40 – 54: Moderate Segregation
• > 54: High Segregation
The City’s census tract and block groups have a minority population between 21% and 40%, which falls below the dissimilarity index as established by HUD.
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? There is one block group in Redondo Beach that is predominately Hispanic (Census Tract 6206 Block Group 1). While Redondo Beach consists of predominantly the White racial group, the concentration of Hispanic residents in this one census block may be attributed to characteristics of general migration trends that highlight community networks. North Redondo Beach is home to St. Lawrence Martyr Church, located on Prospect Avenue and may be considered the primary Catholic church serving the Spanish-speaking community in the area.
Approximately 55% of the population were non-Hispanic Whites, which is a significant decrease from approximately 65% in 2010. The City is seeing a more racial and ethnically diverse city with the portion of Asian and Black residents increasing by 20% to 40%, respectively. Similarly to the rest of Redondo Beach,
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 104
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
North Redondo Beach is experiencing higher land values and attracting higher costs of living.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? The area/neighborhoods have community assets such as schools, libraries, parks, and community centers that are not limited to the area but made available to all Redondo Beach residents. The Anderson Park Senior Center is a vibrant hub for senior citizens, offering a wide array of activities and programs.
The 4,200 square foot facility hosts daily activities such as aerobics, bingo, crafts, yoga, and more. It also serves as a meeting space for the South Bay Adult Care Center and other community groups. Another great community asset is Perry Park, home to the Perry Park Senior Center. The dynamic community space offers a range of amenities and activities for all ages including a multi-purpose sports field equipped with a sports stadium, basketball and pickleball courts, play equipment for children, and designated picnic areas for family and community gatherings.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? Through the 2021-2029 Housing Element, the City offers many opportunities for recycling lower density uses into higher intensity uses along the major corridors. Racially/ethnically concentrated areas of minority tend to follow the City’s commercial corridors, and the City ensures access to transit and service.
Lastly, the City makes a concentrated effort to inform residents of various programs and services through their social media accounts and dedicated CDBG webpage.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and
Moderate-Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2) Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.
The City is a well-connected area for all households and neighborhoods, offering multiple options to choose from. Data indicates that only 0.6% of City households, or around 500 households, have limited broadband options with just one provider. While fiber connections can be more expensive than cable, making them less accessible to low-to-moderate-income (LMI) households, residential fiber service is available to 99% of all City households according to FCC data. In consultation with a nationwide broadband service provider, Verizon also indicated the need for broadband wiring and connections for households. Verizon pinpointed the general need for infrastructure improvements to improve connection networks and coverage. Broadband wiring has evolved to include fiber optic cables, which transmit data at faster speeds. The investment for connectivity includes cable installation as well as City support through permitting and funding.
Verizon, a national broadband service provider, identified the need for a spectrum pipeline through stakeholder outreach. In 2023, Verizon stated that mobile wireless networks carried 100 trillion megabytes of data, which doubled their traffic from 2021. The limited availability of high-power licensed spectrum could hinder the growth of mobile wireless connectivity and capacity, including the ability to bring new broadband options to households. Verizon determined a pipeline of high-power licensed spectrum will ensure that their network can continue to meet consumer demand but also allow other national broadband providers to compete on an international scale.
Furthermore, according to the 2023 Statewide Digital Equity Survey, there has been broadband adoption by 91% of respondents reflecting the significant impact of broadband and internet services. Additionally, the Verizon’s 2025 Consumer Connections Reports reflected 129% total mobile network traffic increase over the past five years and a 34% growth in monthly mobile smartphone usage over a two-year period starting in January 2022. Each
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 106
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
report showcases a significant application of broadband usage, especially within the past two to five years. Specifically for low- and moderate-income households, the Equity Survey highlights low-income households are more likely to be under-connected by 13%.
The Equity Survey reflects that 13% of respondent households at or below 150% of the federal poverty level, do not have access to broadband services. This is in sharp contrast to 3% of non-low-income households who do not have access to broadband services. This 10% gap is explained by affordability barriers and highlights the need for the continuation of support programs to lower affordability barriers.
Additionally, historical trends reflected in the Equity Survey show broadband adoption in California remain as high as 91% of respondents report being able to connect to the Internet at home, including 88% who have a home broadband connection. There were only 3% of respondents who can connect through a mobile device, which was determined to be under connected. While there has been an increase both in overall connected households and those that are connected through desktops and laptops, there is still a 9% shortfall for those who are unconnected.
Broadband adoption by presence of school-aged children from 2014 to 2023 reflects a decrease in the number and in access to broadband from 2021 to 2023 (2023 Statewide Digital Equity Survey). Subsequently, there is a need for increased services for this population. Broadband adoption by household income between 2014 and 2023 shows that while there is an increase in broadband adoption for those earning less than $20,000, this income category is still the most impacted by the need for access to broadband services.
From a regional perspective, there continues to be disproportionate access to broadband and internet services. With 9.9%, Los Angeles County reflects one of the highest percentage rates of under-connected respondents.
Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 107
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Currently, there are six service providers that serve the jurisdiction. Spectrum, AT&T, T-Mobil, Verizon, XNET, and ViaSat provide coverage. Additionally, the City is proposing the PCH Broadband Fiber Installation which would install fiber networks at various locations along Pacific Coast Highway. Lastly, the South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB), in partnership with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) implemented the South Bay Fiber Network to provide critical infrastructure to enable high-speed, low-cost internet connectivity for 15 municipal cities, including Redondo Beach. This infrastructure provides an essential public asset and opportunity to provide underserved communities with broadband access. This will lead to the development of extended groundwork for broadband network throughout the South Bay region. The City may benefit from increased competition, as well as the development of fiber, so residents can access affordable broadband internet service. Households may choose from various broadband services that meet their financial circumstances while still enjoying fair, or equal, connectivity.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.
The City of Redondo Beach has adopted a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), identifying many hazard types for the City. Most of these hazards have increased due to climate change, higher temperatures, and stronger storms.
Climate change can heavily affect Coastal Inundation, which is defined by the City as coastal flooding and storm surge. Climate change has shown to create stronger, more volatile storms that can bring about strong storm surges and higher rates of flooding. Another hazard is Seismic Hazards, but this has long been a concern for the State independent of climate change.
Coastal Southern California has a Mediterranean climate with fire-adapted chaparral shrubland, grasses, and oak trees. Wildfire is a natural part of the local ecosystem. However, excessive, and unprecedented wildfires can cause detrimental problems. Wildfires are typically largest from July to September due to low fuel moisture caused by lack of precipitation in summer, hot temperatures, and low humidity. However, some of Southern California’s most destructive events occur in fall or early winter due to the arrival of the Santa Ana Winds.
During the early month of January 2025, a wildfire broke out in Pacific Palisades, a neighborhood in the Westside region of Los Angeles, Altadena, an unincorporated town of Los Angeles, and part of Pasadena due to the Santa Ana winds. These wildfires caused mass destruction to property, the environment, air quality, and economic instability.
In response, HUD released Notice CPD-17-06 encouraging CPD formula grantees to undertake comprehensive pre-disaster planning and use their grant funds for both immediate disaster response and long-term recovery per the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and emergency Assistance Act. The notice provided guidance to grantees on how to use CPD formula grant programs to carry out disaster response and recovery activities. HUD also has a memorandum making available the suspensions and waivers of certain
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 109
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
statutory and regulatory requirements associated with several Community Planning and Development (CPD) grant programs to address damage and facilitate recovery from a major disaster (the "disaster") in areas covered by a major disaster declaration under title IV of the Stafford Act, as may be amended (the "declared-disaster areas"). The memorandum also announced a simplified notification process for grantees of these programs to use the suspension and waiver flexibility of CPD statutory and regulatory requirements identified in the memo. In case of a disaster, the City will apply for the following waivers, but not limited to, per Section 122 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 USC 5321):
• Extension of length of time or change in period within which to meet the 70% low- and moderate-income benefit requirement (24 CFR 570.200(a)(3) and 570.484);
• Elimination of prohibitions on new housing construction (§570.207(b)(3));
• Removal of restrictions on the repair or reconstruction of buildings used for the general conduct of government (§570.207(a)(1)); • Modification of the limitation on the amount of CDBG funds used for public services (§570.201(e)); and
• Elimination of other limitations that are not required by statute.
In the case of a natural disaster, which includes but not limited to earthquakes, wildfires, coastal flooding, and landslides, the City will follow a set of protocols established in the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). The following actions will be taken in the event of a natural disaster or threat:
• Open the emergency operations center
• Notify the public through various forms of communication • Adhere to mitigations actions listed for the specific hazard or disaster as listed in the LHMP
Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 110
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
A hazard event can have very different impacts on groups or individuals based on their age, socioeconomic status, physical and mental condition, and other demographic factors or on living conditions that affect their resilience to natural hazards. The Plan identifies segments of the population that may be disproportionately impacted by hazard events in relationship to where these hazards occur. Three main considerations are the physical threat to critical facilities and facilities of concern, the social threat to vulnerable populations, and the threat to any other assets that may be affected. Households with the following characteristics may be more vulnerable to hazards:
Households with at least one person with a disability - This can include households in which a person living with a disability lives alone or lives with others. Persons with disabilities often have reduced mobility and may have challenges taking care of themselves. Depending on their disability, they may not have the resources or ability to protect or mitigate damage to their homes or property.
Households living below the poverty level - Households with an income below the poverty level are less likely to have the financial resources to prepare or cope with the impacts of hazard events. If a hazard event significantly disrupts the local economy, they could face substantial hardships.
Households with at least one person over 65 - Persons over the age of 65 may have reduced mobility or suffer from medical conditions that affect their mental capabilities and ability to respond to or recover from a hazard event. A hazard event could also exacerbate existing health complications or cause injuries. Senior citizens living alone are especially at risk because they may not have a network to get help before, during, or after a hazard event.
Households with children 18 and under - Children under 18 are more vulnerable to hazardous chemicals or pollutants. They may also be less aware of ways to protect themselves from hazards, especially if they are very young and dependent on adults. There are other groups that may be more vulnerable during a hazard event, such as homeless people, individuals who are physically or socially isolated, or undocumented immigrants. However, data for these populations is not available at the local level.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied Entitlement Funds - As reflected in Table 55, the City estimates to receive $281,290 in CDBG funds. The City plans to simultaneously utilize local funds to maximize both the reach and impact of its CDBG-funded programs. The City has successfully opened Moonstone, a permanent, transitional home, to house 20 individuals/households. Additionally, the City leveraged CDBG-CV (CDBG - COVID-19) funds to develop the Pallet Shelter Program. This Program provided temporary housing for 15 to 20 individuals experiencing homelessness. The City plans to partner with Harbor Interfaith Services, the leading agency of Pallet Shelter, to provide supportive services.
The City does not receive HOME, ESG, or HOPWA funds and does not report on these grants. As such, the City is not obligated to meet HUD’s matching requirements.
State Funds - The City does not expect to receive any funds from the State of California that will be used to directly leverage CDBG-related programming.
The City will continue to look for creative methods to find other sources of funding from local, state, federal, and private to develop and deliver quality and cost-effective projects.
If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan

The City of Redondo Beach has made great progress in addressing homelessness through the city. The City has engaged not only non-profit organizations but also housing developers to provide public services and build affordable housing. The City leverage CDBG-CV funds, in conjunction with City Attorney’s Office and Harbor Interfaith Services, to create the Pallet Shelter Program. This Program provided the first temporary shelter in Redondo Beach.
Then, the City leveraged General Funds and local county funds to develop the Moonstone project. This permanent, transitional home will dedicate 20 units to individuals transitioning out of the Pallet Shelter Program. The City prides itself in its multi-departmental collaboration and its close partnerships with local non-profit organizations to serve its residents.
Like all cities, the City of Redondo Beach identified gaps in funding to continue providing needed services and develop affordable housing. The dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency resulted in the loss of primary funding for housing programs and acquisition of properties. With limited monies, the City had to look to creative methods to continue providing services and meet the needs of residents.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
One of the most significant barriers to affordable housing in the City of Redondo Beach is the cost of housing. Factors contributing to the cost include the availability of land and the cost of development. Housing Element law requires an analysis of both governmental and nongovernmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels.
Government housing regulations are necessary to ensure that housing is constructed and maintained in a safe manner, to ensure that the density and design of housing is consistent with community standards, and to facilitate the provision of adequate infrastructure to support new housing. Nonetheless, government regulations, including local Measure DD, can potentially have an inhibiting or constraining effect on housing development. This can be particularly true for affordable housing, which must be developed in a costefficient manner. The City of Redondo Beach has not adopted regulations that are specifically intended to control the rate or amount of housing development that may occur, such as growth control measures. On a comparative basis, City fees, procedures, and requirements related to housing development in Redondo Beach are comparable to other cities in the region and therefore are not excessive or highly restrictive.
The General Plan Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance establish locations and allowable densities for housing development within the City. The General Plan policies aim to preserve existing single-family and low-density multiplefamily neighborhoods while providing additional capacity for growth. The City’s General Plan land use policies help accomplish several objectives:
• Providing reasonable opportunities to accommodate new multiple family housing;
• Providing opportunities for new types of housing (such as in mixed use developments) to serve broader segments of the housing market;
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 139
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Establishing selected areas for increased residential densities to enhance the affordability and range of housing opportunities available; and
• Maintaining the basic character and scale of existing residential neighborhoods.
The Housing Element further notes that government housing regulations are necessary to ensure housing is constructed and maintained in a safe manner to assure the density and design of housing is consistent with community standards, and to facilitate the provision of adequate infrastructure to support new housing. Government regulation can potentially have an inhibiting or constraining effect on housing development, particularly for affordable housing which must be developed in a cost-efficient manner. City fees, procedures, and requirements related to housing development in Redondo Beach are comparable to other cities in the region and therefore are not excessive or highly restrictive. It should be noted; however, the South Bay cities contain high-cost housing.
Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing The City's strategy, under the General Plan, aims to remove barriers to affordable housing will:
1. Open up new areas of the City for housing development;
2. Open up new areas for mixed use development;
3. To provide incentives for affordable housing development;
4. Provide adequate housing sites;
5. Removing governmental and other constraints to housing development;
6. Promote equal housing opportunity; and
7. Provide for a total potential capacity of 35,652 units at buildout of the Land Use Element while preserving existing single-family and lowdensity multiple-family neighborhoods.

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) is the lead agency in the HUD-funded Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC), and coordinates and manages federal, state, county, and city funds for programs providing shelter, housing, and services to people experiencing homelessness in the region.
The City of Redondo Beach is part of the LAHSA CoC, which comprises of 85 cities and unincorporated areas and requires participation from the County departments and agencies, local governments, housing providers, homeless and supportive service providers, and community groups.
The County is divided into eight service planning areas: Antelope Valley, San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley, Metro LA, West, South, East, and South Bay.
The City of Redondo Beach is in South Bay/Harbor Service Planning Area 8.
The City of Redondo Beach along with LAHSA, participates in the annual Point in Time Count (PIT). PIT is a snapshot of the number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night, conducted by local agencies across the United States to gather data on the homeless population and inform policy decisions regarding housing and support services; it is mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and usually takes place in January each year, counting both sheltered and unsheltered individuals.
LAHSA conducted the 2024 PIT Count during the week of January 22, 2024. The sheltered count took place on January 22, 2024, and the unsheltered count occurred between January 23, 2024, through January 25, 2024. The PIT Count registered 75,312 persons as homeless. Of this number, 52,365 were experiencing unsheltered homelessness and 22,947 were in sheltered.
Specifically, the City of Redondo Beach registered a total of 5,428 individuals experiencing homelessness.
Using the Coordinated Entry System (CES), individual profiles were created for these homeless persons, detailing specific needs and services each are
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 141
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
requiring, to efficiently connect available resources to these individuals. In FY 2025-2026, the City will fund the 1736 Family Crisis Center to provide emergency and transitional shelter, counseling, support, and referral services to victims of domestic violence; and St. Paul’s United Methodist Church Project Needs program to provide meals to the homeless or those at risk of becoming homeless.
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
State law requires that local jurisdictions strengthen provisions for addressing the housing needs of the homeless, including the identification of a zone or zones where emergency shelters are allowed through a ministerial process.
Section 50801(e) of the California Health and Safety Code defines emergency shelters as housing with minimal supportive services for homeless persons that are limited to occupancy of six months or fewer by a homeless person.
According to the 2024 Point-in-Time Homeless Count by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the City of Redondo Beach reported achieving "Functional Zero" street homelessness, meaning there were essentially no unsheltered individuals counted within the city limits, as part of Service Planning Area (SPA) 8 in Los Angeles County; the total count for SPA 8, encompassing the South Bay area, was 5,428 unsheltered individuals.
The City continued to provide the 15 “pallet shelters”, or temporary homeless shelters, at the 1521 Kingsdale site with the potential to increase the number of pallet shelters in the future. Each pallet shelter structure can accommodate two people, with a total capacity of 30 people.
In June 2024, the City’s Housing Authority entered into a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) agreement with Century Housing, LLC to provide Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) for 20 permanent supportive housing units. These units are prioritized for individuals that successfully transitioned out of the Pallet Shelter Program, followed by Redondo Beach chronically homeless, elderly individuals experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness, and honorably discharged veterans.
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 142
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City amended the Zoning Ordinance in 2017 to permit emergency shelters with approval of a ministerial permit in the I-1B zone and subject to a coastal development permit in the I-2A zone. The ordinance allows emergency shelters for the homeless as permitted use in the I-IB zone and in the I-2A coastal zone (only I-2A in the Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance), which are intended for a broad range of light industrial uses.
AB 139 states that local governments may include parking requirements for emergency shelters specifying that adequate parking must be provided for shelter staff, but overall parking requirements for shelters may not exceed the requirements for residential and commercial uses in the same zone. The City will amend the Zoning Ordinance to comply with AB 139.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
The City of Redondo Beach partners with the following agencies to assist the homeless population to transition to permanent housing and independent living.
HUD-VASH Vouchers (VASH) – The HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program combines Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance for homeless veterans with case management and clinical services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Unaccompanied Youth – There are several programs to serve this target group, including 1736 Emergency Youth Shelter, Hathaway-Sycamore: Independent Living Program, Divinity Prophet: Independent Living Program, and Richstone:
THP and Transitional Living.
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 143
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Moving Assistance (MA) – The MA Program helps CalWORKs Welfare-to-Work (WtW) families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless due to a financial crisis resulting from circumstances out of the family’s control.
Emergency Assistance to Prevent Eviction (EAPE) – The EAPE Program helps CalWORKS Welfare-to-Work (WtW) families who are behind in rent and/or utility bills due to a financial crisis which could lead to an eviction and homelessness.
Homeless Assistance (HA) – The CalWORKS HA Program provides Temporary HA and Permanent HA. Temporary HA provides temporary shelter payments to homeless families while they are looking for permanent housing.
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) – This program is a community-based, competitive grant program that rapidly re-houses homeless veteran families and prevents homelessness for those at imminent risk due to a housing crisis. The program’s objective is to achieve housing stability through a short-term, focused intervention.
South Bay Coalition to End Homelessness - the lead homelessness collaborative in the Los Angeles CoC, located in SPA 8, provides referrals and guides to and extensive range of homeless and related service programs in the area.
Coordinated Entry System (CES) – The CES is a framework that unites regional providers working collaboratively to house chronically homeless individuals.
Using a common assessment tool, individuals are prioritized into the most appropriate housing based on their needs. The CES also coordinates county and federal resources from agencies such as the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Health Services, housing authorities, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Homeless Family Solutions System – This program is a network of family homeless service providers who address the needs of homeless families or those at imminent risk of losing their housing. It works cooperatively with system partners to help families complete housing and service plans.
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 144
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
First 5 LA Supportive Housing Program (First 5 LA) – This program is a needsbased assistance program aimed at serving homeless or at-risk families with children from birth to age 5, some with current or past involvement with the Department of Children and Family Services.
Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
The Los Angeles Department of Mental Health offers an array of programs to address housing health, social services, employment education or youth needs. It offers services in each of the eight (8) Special Service Areas. The City of Redondo Beach is part of Special Service Area 8, which Health Neighborhoods bring together health, mental health, public health, substance abuse providers and community organizations to establish and enhance collaborative relationships and promote the integration of whole-person care. Participating service providers are linked to County and City agencies, educational institutions, housing services, faith-based organizations, vocational supports, advocacy and non-profit organizations, prevention programs, social services, etc. These providers come together with vital input from the community to enhance the health and wellbeing of the neighborhood residents.
The County offers Project-Based Operational Subsidy funds for subsidies for unit-based permanent supportive housing, which includes youth-oriented programs to address the long-term housing needs of persons with serious mental illness and emotional problems.

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards
Per 24 CFR 35 of HUD regulations, the City implements Lead-Safe Housing through its Mobility Access/Emergency Repair Program. The City has and will continue to take actions necessary to identify and reduce lead-based paint hazards in Redondo Beach homes. Before work starts for eligible MA/ER Program applicants, the age of the house will be reviewed to accurately assess the presence of lead-based paint. The City will contract certified Lead-Based Paint Inspectors and/or Risk Assessors to test for lead-based paint, to perform risk assessments on lead-based paint positive houses, and to remove and/or abate lead-based paint. The MA/ER Program provides grants up to $7,500 for mobility access and emergency repairs, in which impacts of lead-based paint are minimal. However, City Staff ensures all lead-based paint program requirements are followed as the scope of work is determined.
How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards?
According to the 2016-2020 ACS data, 8,152 units of housing were built prior to 1960. There is a higher probability that these units contain lead-based paint, therefore may cause significant health concerns for seniors and youth children.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures?
The City’s Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice outlines the following priorities:
• Support the Costs Associated with Housing
• Support the Cost of Housing for LMI and Special Needs Populations • Support the Prevention of Housing Discrimination
• Promote and Develop Affordable Housing
• Support Homeownership
2025-2030 Consolidated Plan 146
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City will continue its partnership with local non-profit and housing developers to meet its goals and alleviate any potential barriers to housing.
To preserve the current housing stock, the City funded the Mobility Access/Emergency Repair Program for low- and moderate-income residents.
This program provides a grant up to $7,500 for home repairs.
To combat housing discrimination and promote fair housing, the City partnered with the Housing Rights Center to provide landlord/tenant counseling and educate the public of tenant rights according to the Fair Housing Act.
To provide rental assistance, the Redondo Beach Housing Authority served over 600 households through its Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. This supplemented the high-cost of rents for low- and moderate-income households.

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families
The City’s anti-poverty strategy to reduce the number of poverty-level families is carried out through job development and job training programs. The South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) serves 11 cities located in southwest Los Angeles County, including Redondo Beach, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Gardena, Carson, Lawndale, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Torrance, and Lomita. The board is comprised of 51 members representing business, labor, education, economic development, the One-Stop partners, and other local workforce system stakeholders.

- Expand Shelter Programs: Implement more programs like the Pallet Shelter Program to provide immediate housing solutions.
- Transitional Housing: Transition long-term populations in need of affordable housing into short-term affordable units while creating new long-term affordable housing stock.
- Improve Access to Information: Increase access to information about affordable housing availability through various methods (mailers, community events, digital platforms, fliers at bus stops), considering language and technology barriers. - Advocate for Awareness: Raise awareness and advocate for homeless and housing issues to combat the “not in my backyard” stigma. - Rent Stabilization Policies: Enact policies such as rent control to stabilize rent prices.
- Fair Housing Regulations: Ensure fair housing regulations are in place and enforced.
- Emergency Assistance: Provide emergency rent and utility assistance to help individuals facing housing crises continue to afford necessities like food, childcare, and healthcare.
- Innovative Homeownership Models: Introduce new homeownership models, such as combining duplexes, to make owning a home more accessible. - Landlord Collaboration: Work with landlords to restrict rent increases and accept housing vouchers, ensuring fairness for both renters and owners. - Hotel Partnerships: Collaborate with local hotels to offer some rooms as lowincome affordable units. - Preserve Affordable Housing: If building affordable housing is not attainable, then preserving the housing stock, such as existing multi-family rental properties, will be necessary.
