1. Introduction
The 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan (AAP) is the second of five annual plans implementing the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan strategic plan goals for the investment of annual allocations of Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Action Plan identifies available resources, annual goals, projects, and activities for the period beginning July 01, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027.
The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on an annual formula basis. These funds are awarded to nonprofit, for-profit, and public organizations to support programs and projects that advance the priorities outlined in the 2026–2027 Annual Action Plan. For the 2026–2027 Program Year, the City has been awarded $1,075,883.00 in CDBG funds and $343,254.06 in Federal HOME funds. These figures reflect the City’s actual HUD allocations and do not include any unexpended funds from prior program years, which are identified later in this plan. The allocated funds will be used to implement activities that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income residents, in accordance with HUD requirements and local priorities.
The Annual Action Plan also provides a basis for assessing performance. At the end of the program year, a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) provides information on the annual programmatic accomplishments.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created the CDBG Program with three primary objectives against which HUD evaluates the Consolidated Plan and the City’s performance. Those primary objectives are decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income. The CDBG regulations require that each activity meet one (1) of the following national objectives:
Benefit low- and moderate-income persons; or
Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency (usually the result of a natural disaster).
Each year, the City certifies with the submission of its Annual Action Plan that it has given maximum feasible priority to activities, which meet the first and second objectives above. The City does not DRAFT

currently have nor does it anticipate funding any activities during the Consolidated Plan period that meet the third objective listed above.
HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program was established by the Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act. The objectives of the HOME program include:
• Expanding the supply of decent and affordable housing, particularly housing for low- and very low- income residents,
• Strengthening the abilities of State and local governments to design and implement strategies for achieving adequate supplies of decent, affordable housing, • Providing financial and technical assistance to participating jurisdictions, including the development of model programs for affordable low-income housing; and • Extending and strengthening partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and non-profit organizations, in the production and operation of affordable housing.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1. Introduction
The City of Rialto consulted with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, creation of job opportunities for low- and moderate- income residents, and/or provision of services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following methods:
Stakeholder surveys (web-based and paper-surveys)
Individual stakeholder consultations
Community meetings
Public hearings
Receipt of written comments
The input gathered from these consultation partners helped establish and inform the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan. In the development of the 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan, the City provided each agency with an opportunity to comment on the draft Action Plan during the public review and comment period.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of their programs. The City consulted with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community-focused agencies. Outreach efforts included invitations to community meetings and follow-up in- person interviews where appropriate.
The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the upcoming five (5) year planning period with these organizations and agencies. The City will work on strengthening relationships and alignment among these organizations in the implementation of the NOFA process for CDBG funds and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients of CDBG funds each year.
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.
San Bernardino County’s homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) is comprised of a network of public, private, faith-based, for-profit, and non-profit service providers who utilize several federal, state, and local resources to provide services for homeless people. The region’s municipalities, including the City of DRAFT
Annual Action Plan
9 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Rialto, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. The non-profit and faith-based community plays a key role in the current CoC system.
Hundreds of agencies throughout the County provide programs ranging from feeding the homeless on the street, to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are available to homeless families with children, and single men and women. The non-profit and faith-based community also serves special needs populations, such as victims of domestic violence, veterans, the disabled and youth.
The CoC guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. The City provided a detailed questionnaire to the CoC to identify the CoC’s perceived needs in the county and its objectives to address the needs of different homeless persons populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth, and persons at risk of homelessness. Following the delivery and response to this questionnaire, the City followed up with the CoC to clarify existing needs and objectives and understand opportunities for collaboration and coordination during the five-year planning process.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City of Rialto is not a recipient of ESG funds.
In the development of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the City of Rialto consulted with 27 housing, social services, governmental and other community based organizations and entities involved in housing and community development in Rialto and throughout the region to obtain valuable information on the priority needs in Rialto and how CDBG, HOME, and other resources should be invested to provide decent affordable housing, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities for low- and moderate- income residents. The San Bernardino County Continuum of Care (CoC) was consulted directly in person, by telephone and email to discuss performance standards, outcomes, and policies and procedures for HMIS.
Table 3 provides a listing of the entities consulted as part of this planning process.

Further, the Community Development Department works with subrecipients of CDBG funds to ensure a coordinated effort among service agencies in the region to address the needs of Rialto residents, including but not limited to chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, unaccompanied youth, and persons who were recently homeless but now live-in permanent housing. To promote economic opportunities for low-income residents, the City coordinates with subrecipient and social service agencies to ensure that where there are job opportunities for low-income people in connection with HUD-assisted projects, information is disseminated through appropriate channels consistent with the objectives of Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1968.
In the development of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, and for consideration within this Annual Action Plan, the City afforded the following other public entities with the opportunity to provide input on the DRAFT

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The strategic plan goals included in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan are based on resources that are reasonably anticipated to be available to the City from federal, state, local and private sources from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The actual resources available to support activities during the implementation of this Consolidated Plan may vary significantly due to factors outside of the City’s control. For example, HUD formula grant allocations are subject to change each year based on a number of factors such as the amount of the national appropriation, changes in ACS population data applied to the CPD grant formulas, statutory changes to the CPD grant formulas, the addition or removal of entitlements receiving a particular CPD grant and the availability of reallocated funds. Additionally, state, local, and private resources will vary significantly depending on economic conditions.
As identified in the Expected Resources table below, the City of Rialto will receive $1,075,883.00 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $343,254.06 in HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds for the 2026–2027 program year.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied CDBG
As a City with substantial housing and community development needs, Rialto leverages its CDBG entitlement grants with a variety of funding sources in order to maximize the effectiveness of available resources. The City’s former Redevelopment Agency was previously the City’s primary non-federal source of leveraged funding. However, with its elimination, the City’s ability to supplement federal funds has been substantially reduced. The City will continue to pursue and coordinate additional funding sources including CalHOME and Continuum of Care (CoC) funds to support eligible activities, expand project impact, and , where applicable, contribute toward required matching funds.

Matching Requirements
Entitlement jurisdictions receiving HOME funds are required to provide a 25% non-federal match for each dollar of HOME funds expended. The HOME program allows for a reduction in the matching requirement under certain conditions, including fiscal distress, severe fiscal distress, or a presidentially declared disaster. The City will utilize eligible non-federal resources, including local and program income funds where applicable, to meet its matching requirements. Unencumbered funds may be allocated toward eligible activities, such as residential rehabilitation programs, consistent with HOME program requirements.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan In December 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 (AB 1X 26), which required the dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies, prohibited them from undertaking new activities, and directed the orderly wind-down of their operations. The elimination of Redevelopment Agencies has resulted in the continued loss of a critical non-federal funding source for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This change represents one of the most significant public policy shifts affecting affordable housing and residential investment in California. As a result, the City’s ability to support housing and community development activities using locally controlled funding has been substantially reduced.
While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets are tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies (Successor Agencies) that may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce.
It is noteworthy that the City has (3) three publicly owned properties that are used in carrying out the needs identified in the Consolidated plan. The facilities include the Rialto Community Center (214 N.
Palm Avenue, Rialto CA, 92376), the Rialto Community Center (141 S. Riverside Avenue, Rialto CA, DRAFT
Annual Action Plan

92376), and the Grace Vargas Senior Center (1411 S. Riverside Ave. Rialto, CA 92376). Programs conducted at these three locations are, but not limited to, the Rialto Family Health Services Program, Rialto Child Assistance Emergency Food Basket program, NCNW Job Training and Pre-Employment Skills Program, Rialto Senior Services Program, and soon to be Inland Fair Housing & Mediation Board's Fair Housing Services Program.
Discussion
The City will utilize its CDBG funds to support a range of eligible activities that meet HUD national objectives, primarily benefiting low- and moderate-income residents. Consistent with the priorities outlined in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, CDBG funds will be used to support public facilities and infrastructure improvements, public services, housing preservation activities, and fair housing programs between July 2026 and June 2027.
While a portion of CDBG funds will support housing related activities, such as the Mobile Home Rehabilitation Program, the majority of funding will be directed toward public improvements, neighborhood services, and community development programs that enhance the overall quality of life and promote a suitable living environment for residents.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
Based on the priorities established in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the City allocates CDBG funds to activities that meet HUD national objectives, primarily benefiting low- and moderate-income residents.
For the 2026-2027 program year, funding is prioritized toward public facilities and infrastructure improvements, public services, housing preservation activities, and fair housing programs. These priorities reflect the City’s focus on improving neighborhood conditions, maintaining existing housing stock, and expanding access to services for residents most in need.
Due to the nature of the activities funded, improvements to public facilities and infrastructure are generally targeted to eligible low- and moderate-income areas, while public services and fair housing programs serve low- and moderate-income clientele on a citywide basis.
The primary obstacles to addressing underserved needs include limited availability of federal, state and local funding, the high cost of housing, which continues to outpace income growth for many residents, and limited access to private financing for home improvements.
To address these challenges, the City invests CDBG and HOME funds in activities that support housing preservation, including rehabilitation programs for eligible homeowners, as well as public services and community improvements that enhance neighborhood conditions and overall quality of life.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed HUD-funded activities are primarily directed toward areas of the City that qualify as low-and moderate- income areas, as defined by HUD. Public facilities and infrastructure improvements are typically targeted within these eligible areas to ensure compliance with CDBG program requirements.
Certain activities, such as public services and fair housing programs, are provided on a citywide basis however are limited to eligible low and moderate income residents or qualified clientele. Eligibility for these programs is generally determined based on household income and size in accordance with HUD guidelines.
Through this approach, the City ensures that CDBG-funded activities benefit LMI areas and residents while maintaining accessibility to eligible participants throughout the community.

Discussion
The Strategic Plan identifies a high priority need to preserve the supply of affordable housing. During the 2026-2027 program year, the City of Rialto will invest CDBG and HOME funds in the preservation of affordable housing units. Specifically, CDBG funds will be used to support affordable housing preservation projects including the City of Rialto Mobile Home Rehabilitation Program. In future program years, the City will consider the investment of CDBG and HOME funds in support of projects that also expand the supply of affordable housing.
To date, the City has utilized HOME funds primarily to support its Rialto Revive Grant Program, which provides rehabilitation assistance to owner-occupied single-family homes. As the City continues to implement its HOME program, these funds will support housing rehabilitation activities that preserve and improve the existing housing stock.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The City of Rialto Housing Authority was formed under State of California Housing Authority Law to actively improve existing neighborhoods and develop affordable housing opportunities using local, state, and federal resources. The Housing Authority County of San Bernardino (HACSB) acts as the local housing authority and provides conventional public housing and runs a Section 8 voucher program that can be accessed by Rialto residents.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing During the 2026-2027 program year, HACSB will continue providing housing and public services to existing residents of HUD Public Housing units and HACSB-owned affordable housing units. Efforts to address “worst case” needs, (people who pay more than 50% of their income in rent or those who live in seriously substandard housing) are assisted by programs like Section 8 and Fair Housing programs.
Outside of CDBG funding, the City utilizes its Housing Division to administer housing programs and services. The core purpose of the City’s Housing Division is to increase and improve the supply of affordable housing in Rialto. The Housing Division will conduct the following services during the 2026- 2027 CDBG Program Year:
Mobile Home Rehabilitation Program. This program provides a mobile home repair grant for very-low, low, and moderate income homeowners. (CDBG funded) Residential Rehabilitation Grant Program. This program provides financial assistance to low- and moderate-income homeowners for housing rehabilitation projects where the property serves as the household’s principal residence. (HOME funded)
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The City of Rialto actively encourages residents to engage with organizations like HACSB, participating in resident councils and voice their opinions in housing authority decisions via surveys and other forms of engagement.
HACSB maintains an active listing of all home ownership opportunities and resources in San Bernardino County and the greater metro area for residents to explore and identify potential home ownership opportunities.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
Not applicable. HACSB is considered a High Performing PHA.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City will not directly invest CDBG funds during the 2026-2027 program year to address the high priority need of preventing homelessness but will provide funds that help support actions that play a direct impact on a person or family on becoming homeless. The City’s CDBG funds will be used to support, and prevent homelessness through providing alternative, temporary, and/or permanent living arrangements for homeless and disabled veterans and assist in veteran’s education, counseling, and obtaining health and financial resources through the Rialto Family Health Services: Veterans Assistance Program as well as various other programs to help support actions that have a direct impact in preventing a person or family from becoming homeless.
Homelessness Prevention Services
According to the results of the most recent data available from the bi-annual Point-in-Time Homeless Count (PIT Count) held in 2024, on any given night, approximately 4,255 people are homeless in San Bernardino County, which was an increase over 2019 PIT Count. This increase can be attributed to several factors including an increase in the efficiency through mobile web-based technology; revision in the survey question; planned targeting of encampments; and an increase in the number of volunteers.
To address this need, the City will support a continuum of services in the City of Rialto utilizing its CDBG funds and through the San Bernardino County CoC to prevent and eliminate homelessness including, but not limited to, Inland Fair Housing Services, The National Council of Negro Women Young Adults Academic and Job Training Program, and the Rialto Family Health Services Veterans Assistance Program.
Using CDBG funds, these programs will offer an avenue for adults to seek job opportunities, prevent eviction, establish key benefits for a sustainable life, fair housing services, and landlord/tenant mediation services. Lastly, the City of Rialto Police department, who has frequent interactions with homeless individuals, has an outstanding partnership with SWAG (Social Work Action Group). SWAG offers homeless individuals and families services such as emergency vouchers for temporary housing, P.O. Box’s, clothing, personal items, and assisting with referrals for vital documents.
Services for Residents with Special Needs
The City supports residents with special needs, including individuals with developmental disabilities, through the provision of public services programs funded by CDBG. For the 2026-2027 program year, the City will fund initiatives such as the Sensory Room program, which provides a safe and supportive environment designed to assist individuals with sensory processing and developmental challenges.
These types of programs are intended to enhance the quality of life, promote independence, and provide access to supportive services for individuals and families in need. By investing in programs that address the needs of vulnerable populations, the City seeks to ensure that all residents have access to resources that support their health, well-being, and overall stability.

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
Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through coordination of regional strategies carried out locally by government agencies and a wide variety of community-based organizations and faith-based groups. Consistent with this approach, the City of Rialto supports the efforts of San Bernardino County Continuum of Care (CoC) and its member organizations that address homelessness throughout San Bernardino County. In alignment with this strategy, the City will use CDBG funds to support local service providers with programs to prevent homelessness and to preserve the supply of affordable housing in Rialto for low- and moderate-income residents. The City of Rialto Police department, who has frequent interactions with homeless individuals, has an outstanding partnership with SWAG (Social Work Action Group). SWAG offers homeless individuals and families services such as emergency vouchers for temporary housing, P.O. Box’s, clothing, personal items, and assisting with referrals for vital documents.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The ultimate solution to ending homelessness is transitional to permanent housing, closely aligned with supportive services, that ensure housing stability can be maintained. However, because the demand for affordable housing far outpaces the region’s supply, the CoC continues to rely on its emergency and transitional housing system to address the immediate needs of San Bernardino County’s homeless.
The CoC is improving the efficacy of emergency shelters and the access system including their seasonal emergency shelters and the County’s three (3) Cold Weather Shelter facilities, the closest being in the City of San Bernardino, and a temporary warming shelter in the City of Redlands.
For transitional housing, the COC recognizes a need to maintain a level of transitional housing for the target populations that benefit most from a staged approach to housing, such as mentally ill and chronically homeless individuals. While the CoC continues to support transitional housing in special circumstances, the CoC is currently examining ways to shorten stays in emergency shelters and transitional housing so that resources may be used for rapid re-housing or placement in permanent, supportive housing.
During its 2026-2027 CDBG Program Year, the City of Rialto will continue to utilize its CDBG grant funding on continued efforts to address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons through specific efforts in case management, housing vouchers, and rapid rehousing services specifically through its public service activities via Rialto Family Health Services. This program assists low- and moderate-income income residents and also serves a significant number of homeless veterans within the City. Rialto Family Health Services assists in securing military benefits, accessing transitional housing, and obtaining benefits for those currently residing in shelters. These wraparound DRAFT
Annual Action Plan
49 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
services play an important role in helping individuals experiencing homelessness or living in shelters achieve greater financial stability and move toward self-sufficiency. Through these efforts, the program provides ongoing follow-up an support to individuals experiencing homelessness. Consistent case management is critical, as stability and continuity of services are often difficult to maintain for those facing homelessness. By ensuring that supportive services remain in place and that individuals maintain access to housing resources, the program helps participants work toward long-term stability and self- sufficiency.
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 supports efforts to assist individuals and families experiencing homelessness—including chronically homeless individuals, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth—in transitioning to permanent housing and achieving independent living. These efforts focus on reducing the length of time individuals experience homelessness, improving access to affordable housing, and preventing returns to homelessness.
In support of regional Continuum of Care (CoC) strategies, the City utilizes CDBG funds to support local nonprofit organizations that provide essential services, including job training and access to benefits.
These services help stabilize individuals and families, prevent the loss of housing, and support pathways to self-sufficiency. The City also funds fair housing and landlord-tenant mediation services to help prevent evictions and reduce the risk of homelessness.
To further support housing stability, the City leverages CDBG and HOME funds to preserve the existing housing stock through programs such as the Mobile Home Rehabilitation Program and the HOME Residential Rehabilitation Grant Program.
At the regional level, additional efforts are underway to reduce the duration of homelessness and improve outcomes. The 2-1-1 system works with public service agencies to evaluate the effectiveness of transitional housing programs and promote best practices, such as rapid re-housing and permanent supportive housing. Providers are also working to reduce program barriers and improve outcomes by shortening shelter stays and facilitating faster transitions to permanent housing.
Locally, the City provides outreach and supportive services through its Police Department and community-based organizations. Through partnerships with groups such as the Social Work Action Group (SWAG), individuals experiencing homelessness have access to wraparound services, including temporary housing assistance, essential items, and referrals for vital documents. Additional partnerships with organizations such as Rialto Family Health Services and the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) provide services including veterans’ benefits assistance and job training programs that help DRAFT
Annual Action Plan
50 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
individuals build the skills and stability needed to maintain housing and achieve long-term independence.
During the 2026–2027 program year, CDBG-funded activities will continue to support fair housing services that assist individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in understanding their rights and maintaining stable housing.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.
An individual or family is considered at-risk of homelessness if they are experiencing extreme difficulty maintaining their housing and lack reasonable alternatives for obtaining stable housing. Homelessness often results from a complex set of circumstances that require individuals to choose between food, shelter, and other basic needs. Common circumstances that may lead to homelessness include eviction, loss of income, insufficient income, disabilities, increased housing costs, discharge from an institution, irreparable damage, or deterioration to housing, and fleeing from family violence.
While the most effective and cost-efficient means to address homelessness is prevention, San Bernardino County’s current CoC system encourages services aimed at reducing the incidence of homelessness, including:
Emergency Rental and Utility Assistance: Short-term financial assistance to prevent eviction and utility shut-off.
Credit Counseling: Financial counseling and advocacy to assist households to repair credit history.
Legal/Mediation Services: Tenant-landlord legal/mediation services to prevent eviction. Food Banks and Pantries: Direct provision of food, toiletries, and other necessities. Transportation Assistance: Direct provision of bus vouchers and other forms of transportation assistance.
Clothing Assistance: Direct provision of clothing for needy families and individuals. Prescription/Medical/Dental Services: Direct provision of prescription, medical and dental services.
Workforce Development: Direct provision of job training services designed to develop and enhance employment skills, as well as to help clients secure and retain living wage jobs. Information & Referral Services: Direct provision of 24-hour/7-days-a-week call center services to provide health and human service information to at-risk populations. Recuperative care for homeless individuals who become ill or injured.

The City supports efforts to prevent homelessness and assist individuals and families at risk of becoming homeless through referrals to regional service providers and the implementation of locally funded programs. While the City may refer residents to organizations such as the Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County (CAPSB) for services including rapid re-housing and case management, these services are not currently funded through the City’s CDBG program.
Preventing homelessness remains a key priority for the City. Public service activities funded through CDBG are designed to improve housing stability and financial well-being, providing short-term assistance that can help individuals and families avoid losing their housing.
In addition, City-funded community-based organizations (CBOs) provide services that are available to low-income residents and individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. These include job training and pre-employment services through the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), fair housing services, and veterans’ assistance programs through Rialto Family Health Services.
Together, these services support individuals in achieving stability and reducing the risk of homelessness.
Discussion
With limited CDBG resources available, the City directs funding toward public service activities that support housing stability and homelessness prevention. For the 2026–2027 program year, these activities include fair housing and landlord-tenant mediation, job training and pre-employment assistance, veterans’ benefits assistance, and other supportive services that help low- and moderate- income residents reduce the risk of homelessness.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or nongovernmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing, such as land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental protection, cost of land and availability of monetary resources. Barriers to affordable housing are distinguished from impediments to fair housing choice in the sense that barriers are lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful.
Based on information gathered during community meetings, the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment Survey, the 2021-2029 Housing Element and market analysis, the primary barriers to affordable housing in Rialto are housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related in the sense that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply and insufficient resources are available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
In the development of the 2021-2029 Housing Element, the City evaluated significant public policies affecting affordable housing development such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges and growth limitations. Based on this evaluation, the City determined that it has taken all necessary steps to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may have been a barrier to affordable housing. Moreover, the City is actively engaged with affordable housing developers concerning the siting of affordable housing and ensuring that the entitlement process runs smoothly from inception to completion.
Discussion:
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the 2025- 2029 Consolidated Plan and Strategic Plan calls for the investment of a significant portion of CDBG funds for the rehabilitation and preservation of 24 existing affordable housing units over the next five years.
Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds, the City will continue to leverage its CDBG and HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources, including land conveyed to the City for the purpose of affordable housing, to facilitate affordable housing development. This strategy will increase the supply of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing in the City.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
In the implementation of the 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME resources to address obstacles in meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state, and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low- income people and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG funds through the 2026- 2027 Action Plan in projects that provide grants to low- and moderate-income homeowners for home improvements, and projects that provide public and neighborhood services to low- and moderate- income people. To address underserved needs, the City directs its CDBG investments (excluding section 108 loan repayments and program administration) toward activities that benefit low- and moderate- income residents, consistent with HUD national objectives.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing For the 2026-2027 program year, the City will use CDBG funds to support the Mobile Home Rehabilitation Program that will provide grants to eligible low- and moderate-income mobile homeowners. In addition, HOME funds will be used to provide residential rehabilitation grants that assist income-qualified homeowners in improving the condition of their homes.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. To reduce lead-based paint hazards, the City of Rialto Mobile Home Repair Program will conduct lead-based paint testing and risk assessments for each property assisted that was built prior to January 1, 1978, and will incorporate safe work practices or abatement into the scope of work as required to reduce lead-based paint hazards in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals established in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty-level families by:
Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate- income households;
DRAFT
Annual Action Plan
54 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Supporting activities that preserve the supply of decent housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households;
Supporting housing preservation programs that assure low-income households have a safe, decent, and appropriate place to live; and
Supporting public services for low- and moderate-income residents, by nonprofit organizations receiving CDBG Public Service Capacity Building Grants
In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start provide pathways out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally, in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKs, CalFresh and Medi-Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition, and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence, and mental illness.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional delivery system in Rialto is high-functioning and collaborative—particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable non-profit organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. The City of Rialto’s departments provide the foundation for administering HUD grant programs and implementing housing and community development activities. The City will also work with nonprofit agencies receiving CDBG funds through the 2026–2027 Annual Action Plan to ensure that the needs of low- and moderate- income residents are addressed in accordance with the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
Rialto has a long track record of successful partnerships among public and private sector entities. The delivery system for the HUD grant programs is no exception. Communication and cooperation between the City’s Community Development Department and the partner agencies and organizations that administer activities is strong. City staff continues to work closely with the other organizations to improve regulatory compliance, monitoring, cooperation and partnerships among agencies and technical capacity of organizations involved in project delivery.
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will continue consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low- and moderate-income residents in Rialto— particularly the CDBG Target Areas.
