Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Each year, jurisdictions that receive funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), are required to submit an application, known as the Annual Action Plan (Action Plan), detailing how federal funds will be allocated to specific programs with expected outcomes.
The City of Redondo Beach has prepared this Action Plan, for the aforementioned purpose, in regard to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds received from HUD. The Action Plan reflects the 5-Year Consolidated Plan (ConPlan), an in-depth analysis of the City’s housing market, demographics, and community outreach initiatives. The ConPlan outlines the City’s goals, priorities, and strategies for serving low- and moderate-income residents.
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027, the City of Redondo Beach will receive approximately $266,048 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The FY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan represents the second year of the City’s 2025-2030 ConPlan. This Action Plan covers the period from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. The City has prepared this report to ensure all funded programs meet the identified goals stated in the ConPlan.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.
Annual Action Plan
2026
5 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In alignment with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 91.215, the City organized its priority needs into three core categories: affordable housing, homelessness, and non‑housing community development. These priorities were informed through a combination of quantitative data and qualitative community input. The City conducted a comprehensive Needs Assessment and Market Analysis to evaluate local conditions, identify gaps, and understand emerging trends affecting Redondo Beach residents. To complement this data, the City engaged stakeholders through interviews, outreach efforts, and community meetings to gather insights from service providers, residents, and partner organizations. This community‑driven feedback helped the City more accurately assess local needs and refine its strategic direction. Drawing from these analyses and engagement efforts, the City identified the following Consolidated Plan goals:
• Support the Development of Decent Housing;
• Create Sustainable Neighborhoods;
• Provide Vital Public Services;
• Expand Affordable Housing Opportunities;
• Create Economic Opportunities
• Pre-Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation; and
• Planning and Administration.
A summary of some of the findings used to determine priority needs includes:
• Approximately 60% of very low-income (30%-50% AMI) renters and 58% of low-income (50%-80% AMI) renters were experiencing cost burden or overpaying for housing.
• Approximately 84% of extremely low-income (0%-30% AMI) residents experience cost burden (spend 30% or more of their income on housing). • According to ACS data, approximately 15% of the city’s population is over 65 years of age, and 6% of residents live with a disability. These demographics highlight the growing need for accessible public spaces Annual Action Plan
2026

that allow seniors and individuals with disabilities to navigate the city safely and independently.
• Community Survey data conducted during the Consolidated Planning phase showed a need for decent and affordable housing.
• Community Survey data conducted during the Consolidated Planning phase showed a great need for public services, specifically for seniors. • Public participation identified infrastructure and public facilities as a high priority need, which includes infrastructure improvements for streets; sidewalks and ADA accessibility; public facilities improvements for senior and youth centers; and parks and recreation facilities. • Public participation identified support for public service programs for low-income individuals and special needs populations, which includes youth, seniors, and individuals with disabilities as a high-priority need.
All in all, the City of Redondo Beach continues its commitment to utilizing CDBG funds to provide residents with services that reflect the priorities established in the ConPlan.
3. Evaluation of past performance
Each year, the City of Redondo Beach prepares the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), a report that details how the City met the needs and objectives outlined in the prior year’s Annual Action Plan.
The City’s most recent FY 2024-2025 CAPER reports on the fifth year of the 2020- 2024 ConPlan. The City worked collaboratively with other agencies to achieve the following accomplishments:
• Serviced a total of 1,311 people by providing hot meals and access to a food pantry, 31% of those individuals were low-income.
Annual Action Plan
2026

• The Disability Resource Center, which provided training and support for seniors and disabled individuals for independent living, provided services to 41 individuals, 95% of whom were extremely low-income. • Assisted 119 individuals were assisted by the Housing Rights Center through tenant-landlord counseling and/or investigations into housing discrimination violations. 66% of those services provided by the Housing Resource Center were for the extremely low income.
• Assisted 4 low-income homeowners through the Mobility Access and Emergency Repair (MA/ER) Program.
• Assisted 121 victims of domestic violence and their children who were in jeopardy of becoming homeless.
In FY 2026-2027, the City will continue to partner with various local and regional organizations, as well as additional agencies, to provide critical services to its residents.

1. Introduction
The City regularly coordinates and collaborates with public and regional agencies, housing providers, and service organizations to identify specific community needs. In developing the Annual Action Plan, the City consulted with a range of public service providers, including both local and regional organizations, to gather input and encourage active participation. The City also engaged with the Los Angeles County Continuum of Care, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health’s Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program, and the Redondo Beach Housing Authority. Through these consultations, the City sought to collect relevant data, understand community needs, and identify opportunities for coordination that enhance communication and improve access to services for residents.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies (91.215(l)) Although the City of Redondo Beach operates independently within Los Angeles County, it continues to strengthen coordination with local housing providers and relevant County departments. The City allocates CDBG funds to public service agencies, such as 1736 Family Crisis Center and the Housing Rights Center, that are part of a broad regional network of social and health service providers. The City also supports local data‑gathering and assessment efforts, including the Homeless Count Survey administered by City Net and the County CoC’s annual Homeless Point-in-Time Count, to more accurately identify community needs and improve the delivery of services.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The City of Redondo Beach participates in the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) Continuum of Care and is part of Service Planning Area 8 (SPA 8), which includes 18 South Bay cities and five unincorporated communities. As a member of this regional network, the City collaborates with a broad range of partners to address homelessness, including LAHSA, the Redondo Beach Police Department, local school districts, and numerous social service agencies.
Through ongoing consultation and community engagement, it is evident that the needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness are best met through coordinated, multi‑agency efforts. This includes participation in the annual Point‑In‑Time (PIT) Count, conducted by the Los Angeles CoC, which provides critical data on sheltered and unsheltered homelessness. Redondo Beach contributes to the South Bay/Harbor count, helping to inform regional planning, funding decisions, and service strategies.
For the 2026–2027 program year, the City will continue to support a network of public service providers, such as 1736 Family Crisis Center, Harbor Interfaith Services, and Project NEEDs, that deliver outreach, emergency shelter, case management, and essential services to residents experiencing or at risk of homelessness. These partnerships strengthen the City’s capacity to respond effectively to local needs while aligning with broader countywide efforts to reduce homelessness.

activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City of Redondo Beach does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds and therefore does not develop ESG allocation plans, performance standards, or ESG‑specific reporting for HUD. However, the City remains an active participant in the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) Continuum of Care, which administers ESG funding throughout Los Angeles County.
LAHSA, as the lead agency for the Los Angeles CoC, establishes countywide performance standards, evaluates ESG‑funded activities, and oversees policies and procedures for the operation of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). HMIS is used by CoC‑funded agencies and by several public service providers supported by the City of Redondo Beach to collect client‑level data on housing and services for individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Through its participation in the CoC and its coordination with local service providers, the City benefits from HMIS data to better understand local needs, support regional planning efforts, and inform priorities for CDBG‑funded activities. The City also contributes to the annual Point‑In‑Time (PIT) Count conducted by the Los Angeles CoC, which provides essential data that helps guide funding decisions, service coordination, and long‑term strategies to address homelessness within Redondo Beach and the broader South Bay region

State Funds
The City does not anticipate receiving State of California funding that would directly supplement or leverage CDBG-related activities. The City remains committed to pursuing additional financial resources regardless of overall funding levels, be it local, state, federal, or private, to support the development and delivery of highquality, cost-effective projects.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The City of Redondo Beach does not own any land or property that could be used to address the needs identified within this plan.
Discussion
The City will be receiving approximately $266,048 in CDBG funds for the program year 2026-2027. Although the City does not receive funding through HOME, ESG, or HOPWA, the City will continue to leverage local General Funds to enhance the effectiveness of community-based services. These locally supported efforts include programs such as temporary housing and case management for unsheltered individuals, which remain critical components of the City’s broader strategy to address community needs.
Furthermore, opportunities to coordinate with regional partners, nonprofit organizations, and other public agencies to maximize available resources and strengthen service delivery will continue to be explored and strategically pursued.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The City prioritizes funding for programs that serve special-needs populations, who are at heightened risk of homelessness due to limited income, disabilities, and other challenges that require ongoing supportive services. Directing CDBG resources toward these programs helps stabilize vulnerable residents and address critical community needs. Obstacles faced by the City include the LMA percentage cap exception being raised, making it harder to fund eligible Public Improvements projects due to the lack of qualifying census tracts as compared to other entitlement cities. Additionally, the need for services continues to grow while funding availability remains constrained, and the 15 percent cap on public service activities restricts the amount of CDBG funding Annual Action Plan

that can be allocated to nonprofit service providers. Despite these challenges, the City works closely with its partner agencies to align goals with available resources in response to community needs.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed In 2014, the City of Redondo Beach was designated a Low/Mod Income Exception Grantee, meaning the City did not contain any racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAPs) and therefore qualified for HUD’s “exception” standard when determining area benefit eligibility. The City’s exception threshold is 33.33 percent, which represents the minimum percentage of low- and moderate-income residents required within a service area for an activity to qualify as benefiting low- and moderate-income persons.

Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically As a HUD designated Low/Mod Income Exception Grantee, the City of Redondo Beach will not target select census tracts or neighborhoods for CDBG-funded activities. Instead, the City allocates CDBG resources Citywide and ensures that each funded activity serves eligible low- and moderate-income residents.
Discussion
The City does not plan to geographically target individual neighborhoods or census tracts for CDBG programming. Rather, CDBG activities will be available to residents throughout Redondo Beach, with funding decisions guided by the needs identified through community outreach and data analysis conducted for the 2025–2030 Consolidated Plan. This approach allows the City to direct resources to the most pressing community needs while maintaining flexibility in service delivery.

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
The City of Redondo Beach continues to experience barriers to affordable housing, reflecting the broader challenges seen throughout Los Angeles County, where the high cost of housing places substantial pressure on low‑ and moderate‑income households. As outlined in the City’s adopted Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI), the following priorities have been identified to guide efforts in expanding access to affordable and equitable housing opportunities:
• Support the Cost of Housing for LMI and Special Needs Populations • Support the Costs Associated with Housing
• Support the Prevention of Housing Discrimination
• Promote and Develop Affordable Housing
• Support Homeownership
For FY 2026-2027, the City will address affordable housing with the following goals, developed based on data gathered while preparing the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing, Consolidated Plan, performance trends, and anticipated needs of the City:

Table 10 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Type Discussion
The City will continue to support affordable housing efforts in alignment with the Consolidated Plan and the Analysis of Impediments (AI) by using CDBG funds to assist households across a range of needs. To serve individuals experiencing homelessness, the City partners with Project: NEEDS, 1736 Family Crisis Center, and Harbor Interfaith Services to provide outreach, case management, and supportive services. For low‑income households who are not homeless, the City collaborates with Venice Family Clinic to deliver essential services that promote housing stability. Additionally, the City works with the Disability Community Resource Center to support seniors and individuals with disabilities who require specialized assistance.
To address affordable housing needs by support type, the City will continue coordinating with the Redondo Beach Housing Authority to assist approximately 450 households through rental assistance programs. The City will also support the rehabilitation of 5 existing housing units through the Minor Home Repair/ Emergency Rehabilitation (MA/ER) Program, helping preserve safe and affordable housing for low‑ and moderate‑income residents.
Although the City of Redondo Beach does not anticipate producing new housing units or acquiring existing units during the program year, it remains committed to advancing affordable housing goals. The City prioritizes preserving the existing housing stock, providing rental assistance to cost‑burdened households, and partnering with public service agencies that focus on homelessness prevention and long‑term housing stability.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
Even though the City of Redondo Beach does not operate public housing, it continues to support efforts that encourage resident engagement and pathways to homeownership through its partnership with the Redondo Beach Housing Authority. The City and Housing Authority coordinate on outreach, education, and supportive services that help Housing Choice Voucher participants and other assisted households build long‑term stability.
To promote resident involvement and leadership, the Housing Authority provides information about opportunities to participate in program planning, policy discussions, and advisory activities. The City supports these efforts by sharing information through its public communication channels and by collaborating on community meetings when appropriate.
Through these combined efforts, the City and Housing Authority aim to strengthen resident engagement, expand access to information, and support households interested in pursuing greater self‑sufficiency and long‑term housing stability.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
During the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan planning process, the City identified the following priority needs:
• Support the development of decent and affordable housing • Provide services for the vulnerable population
• Create new affordable housing
• Provide housing and supportive services for people experiencing homelessness
• Assist with rental costs
• Support fair housing activities
• Provide public improvements
In June 2019, the City launched the Enhanced Response to Homelessness Program in direct response to the homeless needs of the community. This initiative focuses on proactive outreach, relationship‑building, and connecting unsheltered individuals with case managers who can link them to essential services. These efforts have contributed to significant progress: in 2024, the City achieved “functional zero” homelessness, meaning more individuals were placed into housing than became homeless during the first six months of the year.
To sustain and deepen this progress, the City continues to prioritize consistent outreach that builds trust with unsheltered individuals and facilitates access to case management and supportive services. The City also established the first outdoor Homeless Court in Los Angeles County, an innovative partnership with the justice system designed to help unhoused individuals resolve legal barriers, access services, and transition more efficiently into permanent housing. The Redondo Beach Homeless Court operates as a diversion program focused on connecting participants with housing and supportive services. Housing navigators and service providers are present on site to link individuals to interim and permanent housing options, employment resources, mental health services, substance use treatment programs, assistance with obtaining vital Annual Action Plan

documents, and opportunities for criminal record expungement. This model equips people experiencing homelessness with the tools and support necessary to address underlying challenges and make meaningful progress toward stability and long‑term housing.
Through these coordinated strategies, the City aims to maintain its momentum toward reducing homelessness, strengthening service delivery, and supporting the long‑term stability of residents with special needs.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City actively partners with various departments, such as the City Attorney’s Office and Community Services, to reduce and ultimately end homelessness for all individuals residing in Redondo Beach.
With CDBG funding, the City will support a range of services aimed at addressing homelessness and housing instability including:
• Hot meals and food pantry services to approximately 89 individuals experiencing homelessness through the City’s partnership with Project NEEDs.
• Emergency shelter and case management services to 89 survivors of domestic violence and their children through the City’s collaboration with 1736 Family Crisis Center.
• Temporary shelter and case management for 7 individuals experiencing homelessness through the Pallet Shelter Program in collaboration with Harbor Interfaith Services
Recognizing that homelessness affects not only those experiencing it but the broader community as a whole, the City has expanded its efforts to create long‑term housing solutions. In partnership with Century Housing, an affordable housing developer, and with the support of General Funds and county resources, the City completed the Moonstone project, converting 20 units at the Annual Action Plan
2026
48 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Pacific Inn Motel into permanent supportive housing. The City intends to prioritize Moonstone units for individuals transitioning out of the Pallet Shelter Program, helping residents move from temporary shelter into stable, permanent housing.
Through the Enhanced Response to Homelessness Program, the City Council adopted a proactive policy framework to address homelessness, supported by partnerships with PATH, Homeless Intervention Services (HIS), and the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health. These organizations collaborate closely with the Redondo Beach Police Department and other City departments to provide outreach, engagement, and essential services to unhoused individuals. As part of this effort, the City conducted targeted outreach to better understand local needs and improve service delivery. This outreach identified three overarching categories of homelessness:
• Individuals with chronic mental illness;
• Individuals with drug additions; and
• Habitual offenders who experience homelessness committing small crimes.
The Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC) oversees the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, which includes both the annual Point‑In‑Time (PIT) Count and the Shelter/Housing Inventory Count (HIC). The PIT Count provides a one‑night snapshot of the number of people experiencing homelessness and is conducted nationwide to inform policy decisions and guide the allocation of housing and supportive services.
The 2025 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count was conducted over three nights from February 18–20, 2025, with the schedule adjusted due to regional wildfires. The final unsheltered and youth counts were completed on February 28, 2025. The South Bay/Harbor region—of which Redondo Beach is a part—was counted on February 20. Results released in July 2025 showed a 4 percent decline in homelessness across Los Angeles County compared to the previous year.
Annual Action Plan
2026
49 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
For Redondo Beach, the 2025 PIT Count identified 20 sheltered individuals staying in temporary shelter programs, consistent with the 2024 count. The visual tally of unsheltered persons recorded 17 individuals not in a dwelling, a slight decrease from the 18 counted in 2024. The 2025 count also documented 27 total dwellings, including 9 cars, 10 vans, and 8 RVs, with no makeshift shelters or tents observed, compared to the 2024 count of 14 cars, 26 vans, 7 RVs, and 7 tents. This suggests modest improvements in reducing unsheltered homelessness and a decline in tent encampments within the city. The City will continue recommending LA-HOP, an online tool used to identify appropriate services, to individuals experiencing homelessness. Through LA-HOP, individuals experiencing homelessness are assigned an outreach coordinator that operates as an agent and contacts the appropriate team for requested services. The goal of LA-HOP is to reduce response times for unhoused individuals.
Furthermore, the City will continue their partnership with PATH, Harbor Interfaith Services, 1736 Family Crisis Center, Project: NEEDs, City Police Department, city Planning Department, and the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health in efforts to provide coordinated and efficient outreach and services to those experiencing homelessness.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City seeks to offer a range of housing options and supportive services that address the diverse needs of individuals experiencing homelessness. These efforts include:
Emergency Shelter
608 beds serving individuals and families with children Transitional Housing
605 beds serving individuals and families with children Safe Haven
50 beds serving single men and women 18 years and over

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.
To support these goals, the City works with a network of local and regional partners that provide housing, case management, outreach, and supportive services. Below is a summary of programs in the area that assist chronically homeless individuals, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth in transitioning to permanent housing and achieving long‑term stability.

2026
52 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
Helping low‑income individuals and families avoid homelessness remains a core priority for the City. This includes supporting extremely low‑income households, people exiting publicly funded institutions or systems of care, and individuals receiving services from agencies addressing housing, health, employment, education, and youth needs. The City works closely with regional partners in Service Planning Area 8 (SPA 8) to ensure that residents have access to programs that stabilize households, prevent housing loss, and connect people to long‑term support.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
Ensuring access to affordable, safe, and equitable housing remains a central priority for the City of Redondo Beach. As part of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI), the City examined local housing conditions, market trends, and community feedback to identify the key factors that limit affordable housing opportunities for residents. This analysis, grounded in data and shaped by extensive community engagement, highlighted several contributing barriers that affect both the availability and accessibility of affordable housing in Redondo Beach. The following factors were identified as significant barriers to affordable housing:
• High cost of housing (rental and homeownership)
• Low support or assistance from financial institutions • Lack of innovative programs to increase LMI homeownership • High cost of development
• Substandard housing and overcrowding
• Lack of fair housing education and regulation
• Limited opportunities for affordable senior housing, including those entering the senior age group
• Lack of outreach regarding affordable housing opportunities • Stigmas surrounding affordable housing development and unsheltered individuals
Thus, City staff identified the following goals and actions to address these factors:
• Support the Costs Associated with Housing
• Support the Costs of Housing for LMI and Special Needs Populations • Support the Prevention of Housing Discrimination
• Promote the Development of Affordable Housing
• Support Homeownership

The Community Development Department completed the 2021–2029 Housing Element, which was adopted by the City Council and certified by the State of California. The Housing Element identifies existing and planned housing opportunities to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and outlines strategies to expand housing options for residents across all income levels. As part of this effort, the City continues to monitor, facilitate, and support the development of new housing projects that contribute to RHNA compliance and advance local housing goals.
The Housing Element highlights several key projects that contribute to the City’s planned housing capacity:
• South Bay Galleria Project – A major redevelopment project entitled for 300 new residential units, including 30 units reserved for very low‑income households. The project is expected to deliver a mix of housing types integrated into a larger commercial and community‑serving redevelopment.
• Legado Mixed‑Use Project – A mixed‑use development consisting of 115 residential units and approximately 22,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, contributing to both housing supply and economic vitality.

residential investment
The City recognizes that public policies, such as land use controls, zoning ordinances, development fees, building codes, and other regulatory requirements, can unintentionally limit the production of affordable housing or increase development costs. To address these potential constraints, the City will continue implementing strategies outlined in the 2021–2029 Housing Element, which focuses on reducing regulatory barriers, encouraging a wider range of housing types, and supporting the development of affordable units across the community.
The 2021–2029 Housing Element defines strategies and programs that focus on:
• Conserving and improving existing affordable housing; • Providing adequate housing sites;
• Assisting in the development of affordable housing;
• Removing governmental and other constraints to housing development; and
• Promoting equal housing opportunities.
Furthermore, the Housing Element identified potential ordinances and site strategies for zoning updates to promote the development of affordable housing:
• Mixed-Use Development – The City identified nine underutilized properties that can be redeveloped for mixed-use development. • Residential Overlay – The City identified six areas for potential housing opportunities: North Kingsdale, North Tech District, 190th Street, Industrial Flex – South of Transit Center, South Bay Marketplace – South of Galleria, and FedEx Area.
• Anticipated Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) – There has been a steady increase in ADUs in the community. The City expects an average of 30 Annual Action Plan

ADUs annually for the next eight years.
• Residential Recycling – Vacant parcels or potential sites where existing uses were not residential have been identified to be “recycled” into higher densities. A total of 826 parcels met the criteria listed in the 2021-2029 Housing Element.
• Housing on Church Properties – The City identified four churches along Broadway that can be used to provide affordable housing on site and receive parking relief to facilitate development.
The City also plans to update its Zoning Ordinance to implement the new General Plan. As part of the Zoning Ordinance update, the following ordinances will be addressed:

Discussion
The City recognizes that governmental processes, regulations, and development standards greatly influence the cost and feasibility of producing affordable housing. To help mitigate potential constraints, the City will continue reviewing and refining residential development standards, zoning regulations, ordinances, and permitting procedures to ensure they do not create unnecessary barriers to housing production, particularly for developments serving low‑ and moderate‑income households.
As part of this effort, the City will evaluate opportunities to streamline approval processes, reduce processing times, and improve coordination across departments involved in housing development. The City will also assess residential fees and consider adjustments or incentives that support the creation of affordable housing.

Introduction
The City recognizes that achieving the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan requires targeted investments in housing and community development, but also sustained efforts to strengthen institutional capacity, foster coordination, reduce poverty, and address systemic barriers. This section outlines the additional actions the City will take during the FY 2026–2027 Action Plan Year to address these obstacles.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City of Redondo Beach recognizes that several population groups continue to face significant challenges related to income, housing stability, and access to supportive services. Based on community input and local data, the City identified the following underserved groups:
• Elderly households
• Persons with disabilities and developmental disabilities • Large households
• Single-parent households
• Unsheltered individuals
To address the obstacles faced by these populations, the City will continue partnering with a range of public service agencies that provide both housing assistance and supportive services tailored to the needs of vulnerable residents.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City of Redondo Beach is committed to preserving and expanding affordable housing opportunities for residents across all income levels. To support this goal, the City will continue funding the Mobility Access/Emergency Repair (MA/ER) Program, which provides grants of approximately $7,500 for eligible homeowners to complete essential mobility access improvements or emergency repairs. These investments help maintain the long‑term habitability of existing housing stock, particularly for seniors, persons with disabilities, and low‑income households.
Through the Redondo Beach Housing Authority, the City will also continue administering Housing Choice Vouchers to assist low‑ and moderate‑income households in securing safe, decent, and affordable housing. This program plays a critical role in preventing homelessness and supporting housing stability for vulnerable residents.
In addition, the City will monitor its residential sites inventory to ensure compliance with no‑net‑loss requirements and to preserve opportunities for Annual Action Plan

future housing development. The City will continue promoting the production of affordable housing by supporting appropriate zoning, encouraging mixed‑income development, and collaborating with developers and regional partners to identify opportunities for new affordable units.
The City will also explore additional strategies, such as leveraging state and federal funding sources, supporting rehabilitation of older housing stock, and coordinating with nonprofit housing providers, to further strengthen the availability and long‑term sustainability of affordable housing in Redondo Beach.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City of Redondo Beach remains committed to protecting residents, especially children, from the dangers of lead‑based paint. In accordance with HUD’s Lead‑Safe Housing Rule (24 CFR 35), the City incorporates lead‑hazard evaluation and mitigation into its Mobility Access/Emergency Repair (MA/ER) Program and will continue strengthening these practices throughout the 2026– 2027 program year.
Before any work begins for eligible MA/ER applicants, the age of the home is reviewed to determine the likelihood of lead‑based paint. When required, the City contracts certified Lead‑Based Paint Inspectors and Risk Assessors to conduct inspections, perform risk assessments, and oversee the safe removal or abatement of lead‑based paint hazards. All work is carried out in compliance with federal lead‑safe work practices.
The MA/ER Program provides grants of approximately $7,500 for mobility access improvements and emergency repairs. While these repairs typically involve minimal disturbance of painted surfaces, City staff ensures that all lead‑based paint requirements are followed when determining the scope of work and during project implementation.
In addition to these efforts, the City will continue educating homeowners and contractors about lead‑safe practices, reinforcing compliance with federal regulations, and promoting awareness of lead hazards in pre‑1978 housing.

Through the City’s Enhanced Response to Homelessness Program, the City established a Homeless Court to help individuals experiencing homelessness resolve eligible court cases in a supportive setting. This model reduces transportation barriers for defendants and connects participants to services offered by PATH and Harbor Interfaith Services. When appropriate, cases may be diverted or dismissed upon successful engagement in services. The Program also provides Annual Action Plan

The City will continue coordinating closely with regional social service agencies, public safety departments, and mental health providers to ensure individuals receive specialized resources tailored to their needs. This includes strengthening referral pathways, improving communication between partners, and supporting multidisciplinary outreach efforts.
To expand affordable housing opportunities, the City plans to work with affordable housing developers to acquire property and develop new units for low‑ and moderate‑income households and residents with special needs. This includes advancing projects such as the planned South Bay Galleria redevelopment, which is expected to incorporate affordable housing components.
Additionally, the City intends to continue their collaboration with the Housing Rights Center to provide fair housing education, outreach, and enforcement services in Program Year 2026-2027. This partnership helps ensure that residents understand their rights under fair housing laws and that reported cases of discrimination are properly investigated and addressed.
