1 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

BETWEEN THE SOUTH BAY CITIES COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS AND THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH REGARDING USE OF SBCCOG’S ALLOCATED COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES MEASURE A FUNDS.

This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) created in 2025, is between the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (“SBCCOG”), a joint powers authority, and Redondo Beach (“City”), a chartered municipal corporation, (collectively, the “Parties”).

RECITALS
A. As a regional administrator, the SBCCOG receives homelessness funding, including the November 5, 2024, Los Angeles County voters approved Measure A half-cent sales tax which repealed and replaced Measure H. Measure A provides continuous funding to address homelessness with housing and services.

B. On March 25, 2025, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Local Solutions Fund (LSF) funding formula as part of the Measure A requirements, which is based 90% on a region’s Point-in-Time Homeless Count (2-year average) and 10% on a region’s low-income population percentage. Based on this formula, the SBCCOG is projected to receive $3,048,204 in the first year (FY25/26). Because the SBCCOG has outperformed most other regions in Los Angeles County in resolving instances of homelessness, the SBCCOG anticipates our region’s LSF funding will decrease over time due to the homeless count component of the funding formula.

C. In addition, to LSF programming, the SBCCOG will receive funding from the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA) as an eligible jurisdiction per SB 679. The SBCCOG anticipates roughly $11 million annually in funding for (1) housing production, preservation, and ownership; (2) renter protection and homeless prevention; (3) technical assistance. With this programming, the SBCCOG expects to reduce the inflow of households into homelessness and make housing more affordable for vulnerable households.

D. Due to the modest amount of homeless services funding it receives, the SBCCOG has budgeted the majority of its funds into programs that all of its member cities can participate in, including but not limited to:
a. Financial and Rental Assistance (application fees, security deposits, time limited subsidies, and other just-in-time funding)
b. SHARE! Housing to Employment (group homes)
c. Motel and SRO Bed Leasing
d. Housing Specialist (landlord engagement)
E. In addition to these shared services, the SBCCOG Board of Directors will also approve City-specific program allocations using LSF, LACAHSA, and other funding sources (“Funders”)
2 F. The Parties desire to enter this MOU to set forth and memorialize the obligations of the Parties with respect to program funding allocated solely to the City.

AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants and promises herein contained, the SBCCOG and the City hereto agree as follows:

In no event will the County be liable or responsible for any payment prior to such written approval. Approval for payment will not be unreasonably withheld.

E. Default Method of Payment: Direct Deposit or Electronic Funds Transfer i. The County, at its sole discretion, has determined that the most efficient and secure default form of payment for goods and/or services provided under the Agreement with the County shall be Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or direct deposit, unless an alternative method of payment is deemed appropriate by the Auditor-Controller (A-C).
ii.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTION, PRESERVATION,
AND OWNERSHIP; TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, RESEARCH AND POLICY; AND

RENTER PROTECTION AND HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION FUNDING

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
South Bay Cities Councils of Government 2025-2026
This Affordable Housing Production, Preservation, and Ownership; Technical Assistance, Research and Policy; and Renter Protection and Homelessness Prevention Funding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), effective July 1, 2025 (“Effective Date”), is between the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency, a special act agency established pursuant to Government Code section 64710 and operating pursuant to the Los Angeles County Regional Housing Finance Act, Government Code section 64700 et seq. (“Agency”), and South Bay Cities Council of Government, a California Joint Powers Authority (“Recipient”), each individually a “Party” and collectively the “Parties.”

RECITALS
This MOU is made with reference to the following facts:

A. In September 2022, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 679, known as the Los Angeles County Regional Housing Finance Act (“Act”). The Act created Agency to increase the supply of affordable housing by providing enhanced funding and technical assistance for renter protections, affordable housing preservation, and new affordable housing production.

B. In November 2024, Los Angeles County voters approved “Measure A,” known as the Affordable Housing, Homelessness Solutions, and Prevention Now Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance. Measure A established a one-half percent sales tax on every dollar of goods sold in Los Angeles County to provide dedicated funding for various purposes, including reducing and preventing homelessness and increasing the supply of affordable housing.

C. Measure A directs the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller (“County AuditorController”) to disburse 35.75% of the proceeds generated to Agency for use in accordance with the Act’s and Measure A’s requirements through fiscal year 2029-2030 (and thereafter, such percentage may be modified by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors every five years, except that such percentage may not be less than 33.33%).

These include, among other things, that: Agency use 60% of its Measure A funds for affordable housing production, preservation, and ownership (“PPO”) (Gov. Code, § 64830(d)(1); Measure A, § 29(B)); that Agency use 5% of its Measure A funds for technical assistance, research, and policy development (“Technical Assistance”) (Gov. Code, § 64830(d)(4)); and that Agency use 30% of its Measure A funds for Renter Protection and Homelessness Prevention (“RPHP”) (Gov. Code, § 64830(d)(2)).

D. The Act requires Agency’s Board to adopt an Annual Expenditure and Strategy Plan, which must set forth the share of revenue and estimated funding to be spent on each of the abovestated categories (“Annual Expenditure and Strategy Plan”). Agency’s Board adopted -2-
the first Annual Expenditure and Strategy Plan on June 25, 2025 (and it is anticipated that the Board will adopt subsequent Annual Expenditure and Strategy Plans on an annual basis). The Annual Expenditure and Strategy Plan establishes the proportional amount of revenues and estimated funding that Agency will distribute to Recipient and each of the other “Eligible Jurisdictions” (as defined herein) for each funding category. Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, contains the allocations as approved by Agency’s Board in the Annual Expenditure and Strategy Plan.

E. Of the funds allocated for PPO, Agency must disburse 70% of such funds to Eligible Jurisdictions in accordance with each jurisdiction’s pro rata share of the total lower income housing needs assessment goal for Los Angeles County allocated pursuant to Government Code section 65584 (“Pro Rata RHNA Share”). (Gov. Code, § 64830.5(a)(1)(A)-(F), (a)(2)(A)(i).).

F. Each Eligible Jurisdiction and its Pro Rata RHNA Share is provided in Exhibit A.

Recipient’s Pro Rata RHNA Share for 2025-2026 is 1.91%.

G. Of the funds allocated for Technical Assistance, Agency must disburse 70% of such funds to Eligible Jurisdictions on a per low-income renter basis. (Gov. Code, § 64830.5(a)(1)(A)- (F), (a)(2)(C)(i)) (“Technical Assistance Allocation”).

H. Each Eligible Jurisdiction and its Technical Assistance Allocation is provided in Exhibit A,. Recipient’s Technical Assistance Allocation is 0.21%.

I. Of the funds allocated for RPHP, Agency must disburse 70% of such funds to Eligible Jurisdictions. Agency has elected to make such disbursement based on a per low-income renter basis. (Gov. Code, § 64830.5(a)(1)(A)-(F), (a)(2)(B)(i)) (“RPHP Allocation”). Each Eligible Jurisdiction and its RPHP Allocation is provided in Exhibit A. Recipient’s RPHP Allocation is 1.28%.

J. The Act and Measure A provide that Eligible Jurisdictions may receive their respective Pro Rata RHNA Share of PPO funds, Technical Assistance Allocation, and RPHP Allocation directly from Agency, provided that direct allocations are subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Act and Measure A for the receipt and use of the funds.

K. The Parties have entered into this MOU to comply with the Act and Measure A and memorialize the terms and conditions governing the disbursement and use of Recipient’s Pro Rata RHNA Share of PPO funds, Technical Assistance Allocation, and RPHP Allocation.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Parties agree as follows:

2. Term; Extension. The term of this MOU is one year starting on the Effective Date. The term will automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless either Party provides the other Party with a written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the then-current term.

This MOU will terminate upon the earlier of: (i) the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date; or (ii) the expiration of the then-current term following a Party’s timely notice of non-renewal.

2.1. In the event that, during the term of this MOU, the Pro Rata RHNA Share changes as a result of a subsequent RHNA cycle, an addendum will be provided to each Eligible Jurisdiction’s MOU, including this MOU, to incorporate the change.

By executing this MOU, Recipient hereby agrees to adopt and adhere to Agency’s Master Funding Policy and Guidelines (including public engagement and notice provisions) and any other policies and guidelines adopted by Agency related to the disbursement of funds to, or use of funds by, Eligible Jurisdictions. Execution of this MOU shall therefore satisfy the condition at subsection 5.1. Agency’s Master Funding Policy and Guidelines will establish provisions for Recipient to meet the remaining three conditions, which Recipient shall meet prior to its receipt of a direct allocation of all or a portion of its PPO allocation.

6. Use of PPO Funds. For any fiscal year in which Recipient receives PPO funds from Agency, Recipient will comply with all of the following:

6.1. New Affordable Housing. Pursuant to Measure A, Section 29 B, Recipient will use at least 77.25% of PPO funds on constructing new affordable housing.

6.6. Period of Affordability. Recipient shall record a restrictive covenant specifying an appropriate period of affordability in accordance with any program policies and guidelines adopted by Agency’s Board.

7. Use of Technical Assistance Funds. For any fiscal year in which Recipient receives Technical Assistance funds from Agency, Recipient will comply with all of the following:

7.1. Government Code Section 64830(d)(4). Recipient’s use of Technical Assistance funds will comply with the requirements of Government Code section 64830(d)(4), attached hereto as Exhibit B-3 and incorporated herein by reference.

7.2. Prohibited Uses. Except as expressly authorized by Government Code section 64710, Recipient will not use Technical Assistance funds to perform or undertake any functions related to supports and services provided to people experiencing homelessness.

7.3. Supplemental Capacity for Existing Efforts. Recipient’s use of Technical Assistance funds shall not supplant, but may complement and supplement existing efforts by cities, counties, districts, and other local, regional and state entities that were in existence as of January 1, 2022. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prohibit use of funds for new efforts.

7.4. Timing. Upon receipt of a disbursement of Technical Assistance funds from Agency, Recipient will obligate its funding within 12 months and will ensure that funds allocated to projects are expended within five years as provided in any program policies and guidelines adopted by Agency’s Board.

11. Records and Monitoring.

11.1. Progress Reports. Recipient will submit Quarterly Progress Reports (“QPRs”) and an Annual Report (“Annual Report”) to Agency on Recipient’s use of PPO funds, Technical Assistance funds, and RPHP funds. Among other things, each QPR must address (with supporting documentation, as reasonably required by Agency) how Recipient has used, or plans to use, the PPO funds, Technical Assistance funds, and RPHP funds in accordance with this MOU, including, but not limited to, Sections 6 through 8 above. If Agency creates a template QPR, -7-
Recipient shall use Agency’s template. Beginning July 1, 2025, Recipient must submit QPRs to Agency in accordance with the schedule set forth in Master Funding Policy and Guidelines for Eligible Jurisdictions. The July QPR submission will represent Recipient’s Annual Report to Agency.

11.2. Financial Records. Recipient shall maintain financial records, supporting documents and agreements, statistical reports, official files, and any other evidence necessary to demonstrate compliance with this MOU. The foregoing shall be maintained on file by Recipient for at least five years after the expiration or termination of this MOU and made available to Agency upon request.

11.3. Audit Requirements. Agency shall contract for an annual audit, to be initiated within six months after the end of the fiscal year being audited, for the purpose of determining Recipient’s compliance with this MOU, the Act, and Measure A. Upon completion of the annual audit, Agency will provide Recipient with a copy thereof.

12. Compliance with Funding Requirements. Recipient and any of its sub-recipients shall comply with the programmatic and financial grant implementation policies and guidelines included in the Master Funding Policy and Guidelines for Eligible Jurisdictions, published by the Agency, for all categories of funds.

13. Indemnification. Recipient agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by Agency) and hold harmless Agency and its board members, officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers, at Recipient’s sole expense, from and against any and all claims actions, losses, damages, liability, and/or legal proceedings brought against Agency, its board members, officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers arising out of Recipient’s performance of, or lack of performance of, any of its obligations under this MOU.

14. Dispute Resolution; Breach and Remedies.

14.1. Avoidance of Disputes. The Parties recognize that, as public agencies that are mutually interested in the efficient and effective use of Measure A revenues to prevent homelessness and increase access to affordable housing, the Parties desire to avoid legal disputes related to this MOU or to the pass-down and expenditure of Measure A revenues. The Parties therefore commit to make their respective best efforts to work collaboratively and cohesively to address questions of eligible uses or other compliance-related issues prior to the issue rising to the level of a dispute.

14.2. Dispute Resolution. Except as otherwise provided below, before proceeding in accordance with Sections 14.3 and 14.4, the Parties will attempt to informally resolve any disputes that arise from the application or interpretation of this MOU.

The aggrieved Party shall notify the other Party of its intent to invoke this dispute resolution procedure within 10 business days after such dispute arises. If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute within 10 business days after delivery of such notice, each Party shall, within five business days thereafter, nominate a senior officer of its management to meet at a mutually agreed location to resolve the dispute. If the -8-
dispute remains unresolved within 10 business days after such a meeting, each Party, without further delay, shall have the right to proceed in accordance with Sections 14.3 and 14.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 14.2 does not apply to a dispute involving Recipient’s alleged misuse or misappropriation of funds in violation of the Act, Measure A, or other applicable laws.

14.3. Recipient’s Breach. Recipient shall be in breach under this MOU if it fails to perform or satisfy any obligation or requirement set forth herein, or if it fails to comply with the Agency’s established policies and guidelines, the Act, Measure A or other applicable law. If such violation is subject to cure, it shall be deemed a breach of this MOU after 60 calendar days of receiving written notice from Agency.

14.4. Remedies.

14.4.1. Recipient’s sole remedy shall be to institute an action at law or equity to seek specific performance of the terms of this MOU. Recipient shall not be entitled to recover damages for any breach by Agency hereunder. For clarity, this Section allows for Recipient to obtain a court order to receive disbursement of Agency funds that Recipient is legally entitled to receive or to obtain a declaration of rights among the Parties under the law or this MOU.

14.4.2. If Agency alleges that Recipient has misused or misappropriated funds in violation of the Act, Measure A, or both, Agency may institute an action at law or equity to pursue all available legal or equitable remedies without providing a period for cure. In addition to the foregoing, Agency may pause disbursements of PPO funds, Technical Assistance funds, and/or RPHP funds to Recipient until such time as Agency reasonably determines that Recipient is complying with this MOU or a court of competent jurisdiction orders Agency to resume disbursing PPO funds, Technical Assistance funds, and/or RPHP funds to Recipient.

15. Most Favored Nation. Recipient acknowledges that Agency receives Measure A revenues for the purpose of passing through funding to multiple Eligible Jurisdictions throughout the County of Los Angeles and that each Eligible Jurisdiction, including Recipient, benefits from terms that ensure that another Eligible Jurisdiction (or its Subrecipients or contractors) does not take actions against Agency that would put Agency’s pool of funds at risk. Therefore, Agency recognizes that the terms of this MOU, including the indemnity provisions and limitations on damages against Agency, are most effective if applicable to all Eligible Jurisdictions. Recipient shall therefore be subject to the same terms and conditions of the Eligible Jurisdiction that receives the most favorable terms in its Funding Memorandum of Understanding with Agency. This most favored nation clause is not triggered by, and shall not preclude, Agency from settling or resolving disputes with Eligible Jurisdictions or other claimants; it is only intended to ensure the standardization of the various MOUs.

. . .
(d) Subject to funding eligibility and adjustment pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 64717, the agency shall distribute regional housing revenue in the form of a grant, loan, or other financing tool pursuant to subdivision (q) of Section 64720 in a manner that achieves the following shares in the annual expenditure plan:
(1) A minimum of 40 percent of the annual programmatic budget, excluding any bond indebtedness, shall be spent on affordable housing creation, preservation, and ownership as follows:
(A) The following conditions shall apply with regard to affordable housing creation:
(i) Funding pursuant to this subparagraph may be used for the following purposes, including, but not limited to, land acquisition, housing acquisition, financing, and ownership programs, including the agency serving as a single source of financing as appropriate, income assistance for extremely low income households, and project-based rental assistance contracts with no time limit that are restricted to the support of extremely low income households. (ii) Financing for any development costs associated with a project or funding grant that is for housing that is 100 percent affordable, which means restricted to any household that earns less than 80 percent of the area median income (AMI), including permanent supportive housing that includes onsite supportive services. An eligible project may also include a subset of at least 50 units, or 50 percent of the total units, whichever is greater, in a larger development that includes units targeted up to 120 percent of AMI, in which case the agency may only fund units that are designated for extremely low and very low income households, and agency funds shall not be used in connection with any unit that is income restricted due to development incentives, density bonuses, or similar programs.
(I) For each of the eligible jurisdictions, as defined in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 64830.5, 25 percent of all funded units shall be reserved for extremely low income households, as defined in Section 50106 of the Health and Safety Code, and 25 percent shall be reserved for very low Exhibit B-1
income households, as defined in Section 50105 of the
Health and Safety Code, over any two-year period, with
regular monitoring by the citizens’ oversight committee and board of units funded and constructed during that two-year period.
(II) For each project, 10 percent of the units in the project shall be reserved for extremely low income households and 10
percent of the units shall be reserved for very low income households.
(B) Funding pursuant to this paragraph for affordable housing preservation programs may be used to acquire, rehabilitate, place affordability restrictions on, and preserve existing housing units, housing from the private market, and units in residential hotels as defined in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 50519 of the Health and Safety Code for affordability, in order to prevent the loss of affordability and expand permanent affordability. Funding provided pursuant to this subparagraph shall be subject to both of the following conditions:
(i) Existing residents of buildings acquired for the purpose of affordable housing preservation shall not be permanently displaced, even if the resident’s household income exceeds the moderateincome limits in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code. (ii) Buildings acquired for the purpose of affordable housing preservation shall achieve 100 percent occupancy by extremely low or very low income households over time through unit turnover.

Grants, loans, or other financing provided to community land trusts and other similarly structured nonprofit entities to acquire, rehabilitate, and preserve existing housing units are an eligible use pursuant to this subparagraph.

Programs to enable low- or moderate-income households to become or remain homeowners, including, but not limited to, below market rate ownership programs, downpayment assistance programs, residential rehabilitation loan programs, and grants or loans to assist in the rehabilitation or replacement of existing mobile homes located in a mobile home or manufactured home are eligible uses pursuant to this subparagraph.
(C) Funding provided pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to the following conditions in the event that demolition or rehabilitation of housing units is required:
(i) (I) Any funded development or affordable housing grant on any property that includes a parcel or parcels that currently have residential uses, or within the five years preceding the grant have had residential uses that have been vacated or demolished, that are or were subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that Exhibit B-1
restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of low or very low income, subject to any other form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power, or occupied by low- or very low income households, shall be subject to a policy requiring the replacement of all those units to be made available at affordable rent or affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, persons and families in the same or lower income category as those households in occupancy.
(II) Replacement requirements shall be consistent with those set forth in paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 65915, provided that any dwelling unit that is or was, within the five-year period preceding the grant, subject to a form of rent or price control through a local government’s valid exercise of its police power and that is or was occupied by persons or families above lower income shall be replaced with units made available at affordable rent or affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, low-income persons or families.
(ii) If existing residents are required to be relocated due to demolition or rehabilitation needs, the developer is required to provide relocation benefits to the occupants of those housing rental units subject to Chapter 16 (commencing with Section 7260) of Division 7 of Title 1. The developer shall comply with either the local government requirements for relocation assistance to displaced households or the policy set by the agency for relocation assistance to displaced households, whichever provides a greater benefit to the relocated or displaced households.
(iii) If existing occupants who are lower income households are required to vacate their units due to demolition or rehabilitation needs, the developer shall provide a right of first refusal for a comparable unit available in the new or rehabilitated housing development that is affordable to the household at an affordable rent, as defined in Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code, or an affordable housing cost, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the Health and Safety Code.

SECTION 27. IMPROVING RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF HOMELESSNESS SERVICE AND PREVENTION WORKERS.

A. All contracts funding social services positions, including but not limited to homelessness services and eviction prevention workers, financed by the tax imposed by this Ordinance must:

1. Set sufficient payment rates to enable contractors to pay wages aligned with public and private market conditions;

2. Allow amendments, as needed, to provide that incentives and wage increases for cost of living similar to those offered to County staff and/or Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority staff are also available to service provider and prevention worker staff;

3. Allow annual adjustments to reflect cost-of-living adjustments, increases in administrative allowances, and operational cost changes due to inflation or other factors (such as supply shortages, insurance market changes, etc.);

4. Be paid in a timely manner to prevent unnecessary cost increases borne by service providers; and

5. Not result in displacement of public employees.

Multi-year contracts are encouraged to support system, service delivery, workforce, and nonprofit service provider stability.

B. By June 30, 2025, the County shall establish a labor council with equal representation from organized labor and nonprofit social service provider leadership to discuss pay equity and career development at contracted service providers, especially with regard to racial disparities and for those with lived experience of homelessness. This council shall make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on issues related but not limited to all levels of compensation, wages and benefits, and appropriate pay ranges as compared to County employees performing similar work, including the feasibility of contracts for social services positions financed by this Ordinance meeting or exceeding area wage standards, pay equity for service provider staff, and the allowance of cost-of-living adjustments. The labor council shall provide initial recommendations to the Board of Supervisors by June 30, 2026.

C. Every three years, the Chief Executive Officer shall conduct a review every three years of current payment rates across service types (such. as interim housing bed rates) to inform rate changes and, every five years, shall review current administrative rates allowed in service contracts compared with industry standards and best practices. 10 EXHIBIT 3: BEACH CITIES HOMELESS COURT
